Not only that, but Ning Wei also took lighters from them and burned a few people's hair. The smell of glue replaced the smell of disinfectant, which was a perfect match for the cheap perfume they wore.
After finishing, Ning Wei tossed the cigarette butt into the toilet and then seriously looked at her deskmate. "How was that? Feel good?"
Her deskmate dared not look at her, let alone answer.
Ning Wei snorted dismissively and then pulled her deskmate out of the restroom.
Her deskmate's hands were ice-cold and still trembling slightly.
At this moment, she was nowhere near the arrogant person she would become more than ten years later.
Ning Wei simply dragged her to the lake and forced her to sit down.
"Why didn't you resist?"
"I couldn't beat them," her deskmate's voice was as soft as the buzzing of a mosquito's wings.
"Then I'll stand up for you today. How do you feel about that?"
Her deskmate shook her head slightly and said very cautiously, "Using violence to counter violence is not good."
Ning Wei glared at her. Was that human speech?!
More than ten years later, she not only used violence to counter violence, but even became a bully herself!
"If you were to become powerful one day, what would you do?" Ning Wei began to probe her deskmate.
Sitting beside Ning Wei, her deskmate slowly relaxed and began to seriously consider her question.
"If... if one day I could become strong, I hope that everything that happened to me will not happen again. I hope all girls can study with peace of mind, without being disturbed by other factors."
Ning Wei lowered her head. She hadn't expected her deskmate at such a young age to give this answer.
She pondered whether to tell her deskmate that more than ten years later, she had forgotten the words she was saying now, forgotten her original intention.
"Do you really think that?" Ning Wei tilted her head and asked.
"Yes," her deskmate replied to Ning Wei with certainty.
Ning Wei sighed, her voice so low that only she could hear it: "I hope you remember what you said tonight."
The two sat by the lake all night. Her deskmate trusted Ning Wei implicitly. Furthermore, Ning Wei had already seen her in such a sorry state. Therefore, tonight, she poured out her entire story to Ning Wei.
Her deskmate's name was Lu Meng. Her father had died when she was young. Later, her mother quickly married a rich man. Driven by the rich man's temptation, they began to discuss establishing a school.
They wanted to establish a school dedicated to cultivating outstanding students, then build its reputation and win more glory for themselves.
Lu Meng's mother was a woman with some ambition. She was determined to become a powerful woman. She thought she had met her benefactor, but she never expected that the rich man's initial goal was not her.
He had set his sights on Lu Meng from the beginning. After the school was built, he extended his claws to other girls.
Unfortunately, Lu Meng's mother was already blinded by the glory of being a principal. Whether it was sacrificing her own daughter or others, she was determined to preserve the school.
The rich man's actions became increasingly outrageous. He even arranged for his younger brother to work in the cafeteria, helping him discover more and more innocent and beautiful girls.
As a result, the rich man's brother followed suit, secretly harming quite a few people in the kitchen.
Their rampant behavior had severely affected the school, but as the principal, the mother could no longer extricate herself.
She was like someone who had boarded a pirate ship. No matter what they did, she was forced to follow behind and clean up the mess.
After all, the rich man was not short of money. And most of the people they had persecuted were from less fortunate families.
Ning Wei listened quietly to Lu Meng's story about herself and the school. Her expression remained unchanged, giving Lu Meng the illusion that she hadn't heard anything.
Unexpectedly, Ning Wei looked at her expressionlessly and asked again, "Do you think there's a possibility that when you grow up, you'll become an executioner for this school?"
Lu Meng shook her head. "I would never do such a thing. Why do you keep asking me this?"
Ning Wei fell silent. She suspected she might have missed something.
Had she misunderstood Lu Meng?
But the events that had transpired flashed before her eyes, and she truly couldn't find a reason to excuse Lu Meng.
Ning Wei's body began to fade again. She knew her time was running out.
She grabbed Lu Meng's shoulder. "Is there something else you haven't told me!!!"
Lu Meng looked dazed, completely unaware of what Ning Wei was saying or why she had suddenly changed her expression.
Seeing that she couldn't get any more information, Ning Wei repeatedly warned Lu Meng, "Remember what you said. Don't forget your promise!"
After saying this, Ning Wei disappeared.
Lu Meng seemed unfazed. She looked at the calm lake and said, as if to someone unseen, "I will never forget."
Ning Wei slept until dawn. The fluorescent light flashed before her eyes. A new day had begun.
Upon arriving at the classroom, she still had dark circles under her eyes. Fu Chengwei curiously came over and asked, "Did you go thieving again last night?"
Ning Wei pushed Fu Chengwei away. "Don't bother me!"
Even though Ning Wei scolded him, Fu Chengwei didn't get angry. Instead, he comforted her, "I know you're tired. Go back to sleep."
Ning Wei slept through the entire morning.
Until the form teacher came to teach. Seeing Ning Wei sleeping with her head on her desk, she surprisingly came to Ning Wei's desk and tapped on the desk with her finger.
Ning Wei opened her eyes, glanced at her, and got up with extreme impatience. She casually picked up a book and began to read.
Seeing that she was awake, the form teacher, for once, did not punish her.
At noon, when Fu Chengwei went to the cafeteria for lunch, he mysteriously said to Ning Wei, "Guess who I saw?"
Ning Wei didn't even lift her head. "It must be that thing I killed last night that has come out again."
Fu Chengwei was shocked, his voice becoming much louder. "How did you know!"
"Because this is a haunted school. Most of the people here are already dead."
Fu Chengwei was shocked again. He immediately pressed himself close to Ning Wei, his eyes darting around nervously.
The students around them walked back and forth, appearing so real. Most importantly, he had even flirted with two beautiful girls.
"If you don't let go of me, I'll send you to the cafeteria tonight!" Ning Wei was uncomfortable with Fu Chengwei clinging to her and could only scare him with words.
Who knew Fu Chengwei wasn't scared at all. "That thing in the cafeteria isn't interested in men."
Ning Wei looked at him sinisterly. "Who says it isn't interested in men? Don't you know you look like a pretty boy? A face that can't be distinguished between male and female is a delicacy to it!"
Fu Chengwei touched his face and asked shyly, "Am I really that good-looking?"
Ning Wei extended a hand, placed it on Fu Chengwei's wrist, and then twisted it a full 180 degrees.
