Chapter 5
Song Luosheng went to junior high school, but he still had younger brothers in elementary school. He told his younger brothers at school to take good care of his sister.
"No matter what, don't let her get bullied by Chi Yu and his gang. If anyone gives her trouble, tell the teacher first, then tell me. Got it?"
"Got it, boss. Don't worry, we'll protect your sister."
In fact, Song Luokui didn't need their protection at all. She was an excellent student and the teachers' darling. If anyone bullied her, it would be a big deal. Who didn't know this kid was a bit special?
What was so special about her? She was frail...Prone to minor accidents that could easily turn major. Therefore, Song Moqian had specifically told the school teachers about this over the years. By now, the teachers had witnessed what Song Luokui's "frailty" meant.
Some clueless boys liked to bully girls back then—catching bugs, pulling their hair and stuff.
Song Luokui was bothered once. She immediately raised her hand to tell the teacher. Then the boy was dragged to the office and educated. Not only did he have to write a self-criticism of several thousand words, his parents were also informed before they took him home for a double parental beatdown. He even had to go to Song Luokui’s home to apologize...
Anyway, no one dared to bully her afterward. Of course, there was also the reason that Song Luosheng had made this clear at school: "Whoever dares to bully my sister will become my mortal enemy!"
At that time, Song Luokui still thought he was too melodramatic...
In short, no one at school dared to bully Song Luokui. As for Chi Yu's gang, some people didn't like Song Luosheng either. At first, someone even suggested bullying Song Luokui, but as soon as he said it, Chi Yu glanced at him. Chen Nan next to him laughed and walked over to grab the guy. "Come on, let me teach you the rules."
Then the guy was "taught the rules" and left.
After that, no one ever talked about bullying Song Luokui again.
Song Luokui did have friends. Zhang Xiyue, a girl from the same apartment complex, was in the same class as her. The two often went to and from school together. Zhang Xiyue was considered as part of Song Luosheng’s circle because she was close with Song Luokui.
"I wish I could go to junior high too," Zhang Xiyue said enviously.
Song Luokui: "Just two more years. By then, you might regret it."
"I won't regret it. Everyone else is in junior high while we're still in elementary school. It's boring."
Song Luokui: "Aren't Chen Ke, Lin Wei and Zhang Xinxin still in elementary school?" Chen Ke, Lin Wei and Zhang Xinxin were also part of their circle.
Zhang Xiyue: "But I'm not very familiar with them."
Song Luokui: "I'm still here, aren't I?"
"That's true. Fortunately we have each other."
As the two girls walked home chatting, a soccer ball suddenly flew towards them, heading straight for Song Luokui's head.
Zhang Xiyue opened her mouth but no sound came out. Song Luokui swiftly tilted her head left, and the ball sailed past her ear, blowing up strands of her hair.
The ball landed on the ground with a thud. Someone from the other side ran over to apologize, "Sorry, sorry! Are you guys okay?"
Zhang Xiyue was very angry. Hands on her hips, she scolded, "How could you kick it like that? You almost hit my friend!"
Song Luokui waved her hand. "It's fine. They didn't mean it. Let's go home." She was used to situations like this now. It was best to go home quickly in cases like this, otherwise another ball might come flying.
Over the years, she had experienced all kinds of stray basketballs, soccer balls, badminton shuttlecocks, table tennis balls, volleyballs and more, honing great dodging skills.
Recalling Song Luokui’s condition, Zhang Xiyue paused before pulling her friend away quickly.
They encountered no more incidents on the way home. Song Luokui relaxed with relief. She would turn 12 next year. Just one more year and she should be rid of such misfortune, right?
However, when Song Luokui turned 12, she realized the Powers That Be had intensified their attacks on her!
Specifically, the accidents became much more severe. For example, while walking on the road, a suddenly out-of-control sedan rushed straight for her. Song Luokui’s pupils constricted as she quickly ran to the side. The vehicle crashed directly into the stone pillar.
Song Luokui’s heart pounded. Nearby people ran over to ask if she was alright and dialed for emergency services.
Another time, she and Zhang Xiyue were shopping at the mall and taking the elevator. Zhang Xiyue seemed to have forgotten something so Song Luokui accompanied her. When they came back, the elevator was malfunctioning. Obviously they might’ve been trapped if they hadn’t left earlier.
And walking down the road, she almost got smashed by a flower pot falling from above. Each accident was aimed to take her life!
After discovering the Powers That Be wanted her dead, Song Luokui seldom went out except for school. It was relatively safer to stay at home.
Since realizing the plot set her up for doom, she had also stopped eating fish, installed soft padding around sharp corners in the house, and laid thick carpeting on the stairs. The family went out of their way to ensure her safety.
"Kui Kui, want to see the junior high games? The basketball tournament is today. Your brother is playing and the opponent is the other gang from our complex," Zhang Xiyue called Song Luokui.
Song Luokui fell silent, then rejected due to safety concerns even though she cared about her brother’s match. She feared an accidental ball might hit her there.
"Xiyue, I won't go. You can. Help me cheer him on," Song Luokui suddenly thought of something. "When you come over later, help me bring something there."
Zhang Xiyue came over shortly after. Song Luokui handed her a large megaphone and said, "Take this with you. If my brother's team scores, press 1."
Song Luokui demonstrated. The megaphone blared in her voice, "Ahhh! Song Luosheng is the best! So handsome! Extremely handsome! More handsome than anyone! Crazy handsome!"
Zhang Xiyue: "......"
Song Luokui continued: "If they lose in the end, press 2."
Upon pressing 2, Song Luokui’s voice emitted again: "It's okay Song Luosheng, you're still the most handsome! You're more handsome than anyone, believe in yourself. Most handsome in the universe Song Luosheng, you're the best!"
Zhang Xiyue: "......Are you sure your brother won't kill me?"
Song Luokui: "He won't. Give it to Zhou Yuan and say I asked him to do it. If my brother says anything, tell him to come find me!"
Zhang Xiyue: "No problem!" At least she wouldn't be embarrassed.
