“Gu Qingjiu, Gu Qingjiu!”
A shout sounded by her ear. In an instant, the surrounding became noisy; it was as if many people were talking all at the same time. But the shout ringing in her ear seemed particularly disturbing.
“I’m not going for an exercise…”
Gu Qingjiu thought that it was already time for exercise in the prison, and so she sleepily mumbled to herself. Suddenly, a strong force came…
“Gu Qingjiu, what are you talking about? Wake up quickly and fill up the distributing form!”
The voice had gotten louder and it finally woke Gu Qingjiu. She raised her head thinking that it was a prison guard, but she saw a young female student with her hair up in a bun instead.
There was a sense of distant familiarity to that face.
Seeing Gu Qingjiu raising her head all so suddenly, Zhong Xiaoxiao pushed her and threw a form. “Fill it up quickly. I have to hand it to the form teacher before school ends.”
Then she left, vacating the seat beside Gu Qingjiu, not quite noticing Gu Qingjiu’s pale face.
Gu Qingjiu looked around and was at a loss.
Where… is this?
Why was it exactly like her high school?
Was that Zhong Xiaoxiao just now?
She seemed to remember the name of this female cla.s.smate.
She could clearly remember that she should be in prison at this time. When she thought of Yu s.h.i.+wei’s face, she had an impulse to be violent.
But after this impulsiveness pa.s.sed, the sensitive Gu Qingjiu soon regained her senses.
“Number 0959, had an unexpected sudden death when she was let out for exercise!”
Unexpected sudden death!
These cold words were still ringing in her ears and Gu Qingjiu immediately understood the meaning of it.
However, she looked around and then stretched out her trembling hands.
Her hands were tender and smooth; it could be likened to exquisite silk and it was so fair that it seemed to glow.
There were no calluses on her palm from working in the prison, and more so, no stick marks on her arms. Her hands belonged to that of a young girl!
Her heart started to beat wildly. Gu Qingjiu could not believe it. Did she come back to life?
Everything around her was so familiar that it made her feel like crying.
Suddenly, a mocking laugh sounded. “Gu Qingjiu, did you sleep yourself silly?”
This laughter made Gu Qingjiu lookup.
It was her former cla.s.smate, Xie Yuning from the study committee.
The girl had ruby red lips and pearly white teeth, and she was full of vigorous vitality. She looked slightly arrogant as she sneered at Gu Qingjiu.
Around her were several female cla.s.smates who were also laughing and staring at Gu Qingjiu.
Gu Qingjiu remembered that this was the third year of high school. The time when they were about to be distributed.
Distribution was to let those students who did not want to take the college entrance examination leave the school early and need not to take the examination. Gu Qingjiu chose not to take the examination that year, which led to the Yu family hating her academic background after they had found her.
And now, the distribution form she had asked from the form teacher and handed to her by the cla.s.s monitor, Zhong Xiaoxiao, was lying quietly on the table as if it was a dream.
Being reborn, was she to choose again?
To continue to study and take the college entrance examination?
No, no, no.
Gu Qingjiu now knew that even if she were to continue to study, it would not be long before the Yu family came looking for her. With the influence of the Yu family, her adoptive parents were unable to resist at all!
But she could not go back to that wolf’s den. She wanted to take revenge!
Thinking of this, Gu Qingjiu’s slender and long fingers crumpled the form into a ball!
