Embers Ad Infinitum

Taicheng No. 1 Senior High School, three years and five classes.

Jiang Baimian sat in his seat, watching the classmates around him laughing and joking, but he seemed to be unable to fit in, as if he was in a world where only he was left, and he felt depressed in his heart.

At this moment, she had the urge to cover her ears and scream in the classroom.

She was a person with self-control and did not let her impulse come true. She stood up and planned to find a place to breathe fresh air.

As for where to go, she hasn't decided yet, but simply feels uncomfortable staying in the classroom.

After arriving in the corridor, Jiang Baimian's eyes swept over the classmates who were leaning on the wall railings talking and laughing, and those who chased and fought from time to time. He felt that this was not the place he wanted to stay.

Where are you going? She hesitated in her steps,

Soon, a place flashed in her mind:

Rooftop.

Before entering her senior year of high school, she still had time to watch TV series and read novels on weekends. In a similar campus scene, no matter whether she was the protagonist or not, she would go to the rooftop to cool off whenever she had nothing to do.

Of course, before having this impulse today, Jiang Baimian thought that these were all words of novelists. How could anyone in a normal school go to the rooftop?

The principal will definitely put people on guard and prevent students from going to such dangerous places!

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Baimian took steps toward the stairs.

At this moment, she saw her deskmate Chen Xinxin coming towards her, having just finished using the toilet.

Although she doesn't think she and her deskmate are good friends or besties, they have been sitting together for almost a year, and they can still chat for a while every day, and their relationship is better than that of other classmates.

In other words, if Chen Xinxin saw her, she would definitely ask where she was going, but she didn't want anyone in the class to know that she planned to go to the rooftop to have a good time.

You mean going to the toilet? Why don't you go to the rooftop? Jiang Baimian hesitated.

At this time, the soles of the two male students chasing in the corridor slipped and they fell to pieces. Chen Xinxin heard the noise and turned around to witness this scene.

She first looked with concern to see if anyone was injured, and then after confirming that nothing was wrong, she laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up.

Seeing that she completely ignored his side, Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief, quickened his pace, and passed behind Chen Xinxin.

She came all the way to the stairs and went up.

While walking, Jiang Baimian found that his class teacher was walking down the stairs.

Behind him were two students from Class 10, Grade 3, each holding a stack of homework books.

This made Jiang Baimian couldn't help but frown.

She was not surprised at all by such an encounter, because her class teacher was also the physics teacher of Class 10, Grade 3.

What worries her now is that once the head teacher sees her, she will definitely be concerned about why she went upstairs for no reason.

As the top seed player in the class and a very competitive outstanding student in the grade, Jiang Baimian will inevitably be taken seriously by the class teacher and even the teachers of various subjects.

She has always been known for being quiet and will not leave her class without a special reason, and her class teacher attaches great importance to the mental health of students.

When Jiang Baimian retreated again, a crashing sound suddenly sounded in his ears.

She saw that the two students behind the class teacher seemed to have not neatly arranged their homework. At this time, they were dancing and could not save themselves. They could only let the notebooks scatter all over the stairs.

They hurriedly bent down to pick it up. Jiang Baimian's class teacher did not choose to stand by and watch. He also bent down and tried to pick up the homework books at his feet.

Jiang Baimian withdrew his gaze and walked past them lightly without causing any ripples.

Afraid of meeting an acquaintance again, she walked faster and faster, and it didn't take long before she reached the sixth floor.

Further up is the rooftop gate.

With a quick glance, Jiang Baimian saw a flowing figure walking towards this side.

That was a very famous bad student in the school named Deng Tong. He committed all kinds of evil in fights and fights. If it weren't for his family connections, he would have been expelled long ago.

"Let's get some air from the rooftop!" Deng Tong shouted to the classroom closest to the stairs.

There are his friends there.

Jiang Baimian's upward steps suddenly stopped.

She didn't want to live on a deserted rooftop with such a bad student.

This is a person's most basic self-preservation instinct, or the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Suddenly, Jiang Baimian's depression worsened a lot:

Why am I so bad today? Just want to go to the rooftop to enjoy the air, but you will encounter so many things!

When she was about to turn around and return to her class, a blackboard brush flew out from the door of the nearest classroom and hit Deng Tong in the face, making him dizzy and starry-eyed.

"Who? Who hit me!" Deng Tong roared angrily after recovering a little and rushed into the classroom.

There suddenly became chaos inside.

Jiang Baimian turned his wrist and looked at his watch and found that there were only five minutes left before class.

She was sure that Deng Tong didn't have time to go to the rooftop to cool down before class.

And she only planned to breathe fresh air on the rooftop for three minutes. From this point of view, it was unlikely that she would encounter Deng Tong, a bad student.

Phew, Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief, started jogging, and arrived at the door leading to the rooftop.

Its lock had been broken.

Jiang Baimian tried to open the door and walked into the rooftop. As a gust of cool breeze blew, her whole body felt refreshed and her mood became less depressed.

When she was looking for directions, she was shocked to see a student standing by the female wall in the direction facing the school gate, a carefree male student.

Du Shaochong... Jiang Baimian knew him and knew that he was a classmate with a very contradictory reputation.

He obviously has very good grades and sometimes threatens his own ranking. He is also very good at sports. He is a good player in sprinting, long jump, hip-hop and basketball, but he does not look like a good student at all. He is always in the same class as Deng. Those guys hang out together, and I heard they even get into group fights.

What a strange person... Jiang Baimian muttered silently and walked towards the female wall on the same side as Du Shaochong.

Seeing this, Gnawa who was following her felt like he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Regardless of "Xu Qiao", that is, Jiang Baimian walking all the way to the rooftop is a very simple and easy thing, but "privately", Gnawa worked hard and did a lot of work:

He tripped over the running students and attracted the attention of "Xu Qiao"'s deskmate, lest she interfere with Jiang Baimian's whim of wanting to go to the rooftop to have some fun;

He overturned the homework books in the hands of two students and prevented "Xu Qiao"'s class teacher from stopping Jiang Baimian for a heart-to-heart talk;

He quickly entered the nearest classroom, found a chalk brush, and threw it at Deng Tong, distracting the bad student so that he would not affect Jiang Baimian's mood when he went to the rooftop to enjoy the breeze.

All the calm clouds and peaceful years are inseparable from the hard work and dedication of the people behind the scenes!

After coming to the female wall, looking at the scenery in the distance, and breathing in the cool breeze, Jiang Baimian found that this really made him forget a lot of troubles, and his mind was opened up.

Well, it was spring yesterday, today is late autumn, and Xu Qiao and Du Shaochong are still in their third year of high school... Gnawa took this opportunity to sort out his previous observations.

Because Xu Qiao and Du Shaochong are both students with very good grades, even if accidents such as puppy love happen, they are unlikely to repeat the grade, so there is only one answer:

Time has flown back.

In other words, the time of this "dream" is jumping and chaotic.

This fits the concept of "dreamland" very well.

After the wind blew for a while, Jiang Baimian turned his head and looked at Du Shaochong not far away.

The other party was not surprised at all that he came to the rooftop to enjoy the breeze!

What kind of person is he? Jiang Baimian suddenly felt a strong curiosity in his heart.

This made her do things she wouldn't normally do.

She actually bravely spoke to the other party:

"Hello!"

Du Shaochong, "acted" by Shang Jianyao, glanced sideways at her:

"I'm not saying hello."

Jiang Baimian felt shy for a while, paused and said:

"I know you, you are Du Shaochong.

"I heard that you transferred to our school only in your second year of high school?"

"First semester of high school." Du Shaochong replied expressionlessly.

Jiang Baimian asked:

"Where did you study before?"

"Why are there so many questions..." Du Shaochong muttered.

He replied rather reluctantly:

"I transferred here from Dajiang City."

Ojiang City... Gnawa recorded this keyword.

At the same time, he matched relevant information:

Dajiang City, Linhe Village, under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village.

This is another Buddhist holy place!

The red light in Gnawa's eyes suddenly brightened, and he came to a preliminary conclusion:

Du Shaochong, who is associated with both holy places, may really be the reincarnation of Zhuang Sheng!

But why didn't this "dream" change at all when I arrested Du Shaochong and led him to jump off a building? This unscientific! Gnava immediately became filled with strong doubts, as if he had encountered a bug.

At this moment, someone else entered the rooftop.

That was Deng Tong, the bad student who was hit by the blackboard brush.

He seemed to have beaten up the person who attacked him and was planning to go to the rooftop to catch some fresh air.

Seeing Xu Qiao standing next to Du Shaochong, Deng Tong whistled:

"Hey, she is your girl?"

"We met by chance." Du Shaochong explained simply.

Deng Tong laughed:

"Then what were you talking about just now?"

Du Shaochong glanced at Jiang Baimian:

"She asked me where I studied before."

"Tsk, why did she only ask you and not me?" Deng Tong said, "Don't explain, explanation is just a cover-up."

Jiang Baimian's face turned red. In order to express her innocence, she quickly asked:

"Where did you study before?"

Deng Tong thought for a while and said seriously:

"Oe City."

Ojiang City... The red light in Gnawa's eyes flickered even more.

Why is there another one from Dajiang City?

At this time, Deng Tong asked casually:

"What about you, which junior high school did you graduate from?"

Xu Qiao, played by Jiang Baimian, looked blank for a second and replied quite seriously:

"Oe City Yingcai Junior High School."

What? Gennava began to suspect that there was something wrong with his sonic capture device.

The next second, Du Shaochong and Deng Tong looked at Xu Qiao and both smiled:

"Me too."

"I also graduated from Yingcai Junior High School in Dajiang City."
