On the campus of Jing University.
Miaomiao walked slowly towards the classroom alone, admiring the blooming peach blossoms along the way. It was the season when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, and the whole school was filled with pink - and - white flowers. It was extremely beautiful.
"Hey, junior, going to class?"
"Yeah."
A senior who passed by greeted Miaomiao in a hurry.
The 18 - year - old girl was graceful and beautiful. Her long hair flowed over her shoulders, her skin was as white as porcelain, and her big watery eyes and slightly baby - fat face, though not stunning, were enough to make people notice her in the crowd at a glance.
Before she even stepped into the classroom, Miaomiao could hear the buzzing chatter inside. However, all these had nothing to do with her. Among her peers, no one was willing to play with her.
She pushed open the door and walked into the classroom slowly. She casually found a corner to sit in and stared blankly.
When the students saw Miaomiao coming in, they all shut up. They exchanged glances with each other and covered their mouths to snicker.
"Hey, isn't this the famous white lotus in our department? How come you have time to come to class today?"
During the summer vacation not long ago, Lin Yao noticed that Miaomiao seemed not very happy about the start of school, so he took her out to play for a while, which postponed her school - starting time.
The sarcastic remarks reached Miaomiao's ears, but she didn't feel anything at all. She just stared blankly at nothing, not even giving the speaker a glance.
"Hey, are you mute? I'm talking to you!"
The girl who started the sarcasm was very unhappy about being ignored. She stood up and strode towards Miaomiao. She slapped the table hard with her palm, venting her dissatisfaction and trying to intimidate this soft - looking and quiet girl.
"If there's nothing else, class is about to start." Miaomiao knew that the girl didn't like her. Although she didn't know the reason, her old father had taught her that for those who didn't like her, just ignore them.
"Hehe, do you think you're good at studying? You're always at the bottom of the class, and you're urging me to get ready for class? Who are you trying to impress with your innocent act? Everyone knows the disgusting things you've done. You've been caught bullying Shao Rong so many times, and you still don't repent."
"I'd say if you don't have the brains, don't play those tricks. It's so disgusting. I really admire your thick skin. You can be so calm even in this situation. If I were you, I'd drop out of school right away. I'd be embarrassed to walk around the school every day."
The girl's unpleasant words kept pouring out. Miaomiao always maintained the same posture, staring blankly, without any emotional fluctuations.
This kind of situation happened every day in the classroom. Even if it was a new day, she knew that she was isolated.
It didn't matter, though. Miaomiao didn't care about these trivial things. In the previous dozen years, she had never had many friends.
She was used to being alone.
Seeing that Miaomiao remained unmoved, the girl was so angry that she trembled. She reached out her hand and wanted to push Miaomiao, but was stopped by a handsome - looking boy.
"Come on, Tao Jing, can you talk less? That's enough."
"Han Shuo, what do you mean? Are you ordering me? Our family backgrounds are similar. No one is nobler than the other. Don't act like a stupid rich - kid in front of me."
"What's all the noise about? Are we still going to have class?"
As soon as the professor entered the classroom, he saw Tao Jing and Han Shuo arguing. He coughed heavily to show his presence.
Students had an innate fear of teachers. Although Tao Jing was reluctant, she still returned to her seat when she saw the old professor had entered.
Class began. Miaomiao listened to the old professor's words as if they were in a foreign language.
Anyway, she wasn't good at studying. Whether she listened or not didn't make much difference.
Looking at the cherry blossoms outside the window, Miaomiao's thoughts drifted far away. She didn't like this world very much.
There was no martial - arts world, no hearty battles, no kind - hearted uncles and aunts to teach her martial arts, and no companions to compete with in the martial - arts tournament.
There was nothing here...
In order not to be regarded as an outcast and to avoid any accidents, she couldn't use her martial arts skills to solve problems on a daily basis.
She was never good at arguing. After entering university, she had been misunderstood several times but never refuted.
She couldn't make her point clear. Her eloquence had always been poor.
If there was anything she liked in this world, it might only be her father.
"What's that smell?"
The old professor sniffed his nose, feeling something was wrong. He asked in confusion.
"Seems like something is burning..."
Bang!
A loud explosion suddenly came from downstairs. The teaching building trembled. After the shock, the old professor rushed out of the classroom in a hurry.
Outside, it was already filled with thick smoke. The old professor stopped a student running up from downstairs and asked in a hurry, "What's going on? What happened downstairs?"
"The chemistry laboratory is on fire. There's an explosion downstairs and we can't get out!"
"What?!"
The old professor was shocked. He quickly ran back to the classroom and shouted, "Students, run upstairs quickly! The chemistry laboratory is on fire! Hurry! Hurry!"
All the students sitting there were stunned. Seeing that no one was moving, the old professor roared a few more times. Then the students finally reacted. They screamed and rushed out of the classroom, running upstairs.
Only Miaomiao remained still in her seat.
At this time, everyone was busy saving themselves, and no one noticed Miaomiao's strangeness.
The girl slowly walked towards the corridor and leaned over the railing to look down. Thick smoke rushed upstairs from the second - floor windows. Miaomiao could vaguely confirm the platform between the first and the second floors.
That platform was the rain - shelter for the main entrance. She was now on the third floor, and the distance from her position to that platform was only about three meters. With her light - body skill, jumping down wouldn't be dangerous at all.
Miaomiao made a quick judgment and flipped over the corridor railing and jumped down.
A female classmate beside her screamed when she saw Miaomiao's action. The old professor quickly looked in the direction where Miaomiao disappeared and leaned out to check on her safety.
They saw Miaomiao leap gracefully and land lightly on the platform. Then she jumped off the platform effortlessly and landed steadily.
Miaomiao became the first person to escape from the fire. Seeing how lightly Miaomiao jumped, a male classmate in the crowd gritted his teeth and without hesitation jumped towards the platform.
However, this male classmate overestimated his own ability. He let out a scream the moment he jumped off the platform. He covered his foot and rolled on the platform in pain.
Hearing the scream from upstairs, Miaomiao quickly looked up.
After seeing the male classmate, she didn't even think twice. She leaped into the air, tapped the wall with her toes, and in a second, she was on the platform. She grabbed the male classmate by the collar and jumped off the platform again.
"Thank you... thank you..."
The male classmate was still in shock. He covered his leg and was sweating profusely. But he was lucky to have escaped from the fire. Looking at the strange and thin girl in front of him, he quickly thanked her.
