She opened the door with the key. The parents didn't come back until six or seven o'clock in the evening.

Yu Ruoling put down her schoolbag, walked into the bathroom, and closed the door. She sat blankly on the cold marble floor, her mind was a mess, or a piece of iron, a pot of porridge.

Yu was thinking about it, the precious friendship she had won for the first time in her life turned out to be just...decoration in the eyes of “that guy”？Or slavery？

Or, she shouldn't have gotten friends or companions in the first place... It's been almost 10 years that she hasn't experienced what a companion is, though she's only been around for 9 years...

Yu Ruoling hugged her knees in the corner of the bathtub and the wall, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, she suddenly felt that she had actually spent hundreds of years.

"Hypocritical."She opened her mouth and wanted to say more, but found that the language was only powerless at this moment.

"No one is by my side anymore. Parents, let them worry about their own affairs. She has to rely on me."Yu Ruoling swears that she has never missed the gentle, violent, or depressing melody from the piano keys so much.

She's also dying to hear the songs of God...now.

Holding a Bible, she gently pressed the switch of the small stereo, opened the latest progress - Leviticus, and then bowed her head to pray.

"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name; Your kingdom come; Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread; forgive us our debts as we have forgiven our debtors; lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for the kingdom and the power and the glory are yours forever, amen."

She opened the half-hour reading with God with the Lord's Prayer. The emotions finally calmed down, at least when she think about it, she won't feel any more, and won't be as embarrassed as an hour ago. Thinking about it is a bit... uh, shameful.

Yu Ruoling patted the black leather seal of the Bible and stood up, suddenly feeling a strong sense of responsibility.

If she wants to spend the next year and a half in a little bit more peace, she has to seriously think about what to do...

The monitor He Qian stood on the podium and continued to maintain the usual practice of reading time in the past morning.

The silence in the class could be regarded as dead silence, and everyone tacitly kept silent about the bad things that happened the day before yesterday.

He Qian glanced at Li Qingfeng and then at Yu Ruoling, and finally just sighed and pulled over the chair to sit down.

Yu Ruoling has blocked all interpersonal communication for the past two days, and even He Qian, who has always been good at adjusting the atmosphere, has to give in to the current situation.

Can Li Qingfeng really be able to say that she broke up with Yu？Will she break up with her, without any fuss？

What a good relationship she had with Yu Ruoling before... As a result, the atmosphere of the whole class has become strange now.

The area around Yu Ruoling has become a small world by itself. As if there was some special invisible glass, no one would go there.

The habitual cold face in the past once again left her dusty warehouse and hung on her face again.

It's hard to tell that she is pretending not to make other expressions to avoid a more dire outcome.

It's better to say that Yu don't want to make any expressions, and there is nothing to express.

Su Peixin broke into the small world generously to borrow English textbooks and worksheets, which attracted many eyes to drift along with her movements, but no one dared to speak.

"Su Peixin, you can't leave your seat at this time."

Su subconsciously paused, looked at Li Qingfeng's gloomy eyes, froze halfway at a loss, and instinctively turned to look at Yu Ruoling.

"..."Yu raised half of her eyebrows to signal for the her to speak.

'Lend me English textbooks and assignments.'Su Peixin moved her lips silently to make an export.

She remembered that Yu Ruoling once told her that she could speak some lips.

"Sit down."Li Qingfeng's phoenix-like eyes gradually filled with fierce storms.

"..."Yu brushed past her indifferently, put the English textbook and workbook on Su Peixin's table, and went back to the seat to sit down, ignoring one after another.

She seemed to stay out of the way, holding up a book and continuing to read, oh yes, this book is the predecessor of the movie Les Miserables, and it is worth reading.

The whole air froze perfectly, Zheng Jingyi couldn't sit still, but Li Qingfeng stared back at her, so she silently picked up the math notebook and chewed it with eyes, her heart was itching like a nest of ants biting.

"Okay, Qingfeng, it's alright. I'll take care of the order today, thank you！"He Qian hurriedly pushed Li's back to her seat, and a drop of cold sweat slipped down herself neck.

Su Peixin lowered her eyes and suppressed the fear that had not disappeared. The feeling of being publicly excluded by the 'core' was really bad.

At least Li didn't treat her so arrogantly before. Although she actually didn't have a good time in the past, it was fortunate that she had Zhong Yuyao by her side.

Su Peixin smiled slightly, then looked up in his direction.

He and Li Qingfeng...were having a good time chatting.

"But..."Su Peixin stretched watery eyes, and her brown pupils were quickly covered with a layer of water mist, "She treated me and RuoLing like..."

"'If you don't want to be targeted, get out of the way.' They all think so."Yu Ruoling paused and added, "Perhaps."

She put down the pen, raised her head and thought about it. She didn't know when Li established such a huge network of people.

Yesterday, she just went to the music classroom, and one of the classmates in the next class looked at her and said on the spot：'Hey！That's the one who was cut off！So lonely！'.

These words did not ignore by her ears. Although it was not ruled out that boy might just wants she heard those words, what really surprised Yu Ruoling was that Li Qingfeng seemed to spread the news without her knowledge.

It seems that Li really only sees her as a figure who can show off or raise the spotlight.

Since Li Qingfeng tore this illusion with her own hands, then she doesn't need to hypocritically think that there is still a possibility of reconciliation between them, let alone dreaming in a whimsical way that Li will even accept Peixin.

Yu Ruoling's mouth curved.

During the break between classes, Su couldn't help but ran over to her and said, "If you continue to ignore me, maybe you guys will be fine today."

"...She's not my friend, "She tilted her head and thought, and replied to Su, "Never was."

"What do you mean？Before you..."

"Peixin, there are always a few things that you won't understand after a while."

"...Okay."Su Peixin looked at her own reflection in Yu's dark pupils, and suddenly felt a little dazed...

That...

Does she count as Ruoling's friend？

"Excuse me, are you willing to accept Jesus Christ as the Savior and only Lord of your life？"

"I do！"

Applause and cheers echoed in the waiting area and the family area. Dozens of single-lens cameras were mounted on tripods to photograph the new students one by one in the baptismal pool.

These thirty-seven baptized people represent thirty-seven different meanings of life. Today, at this moment, all of them are united into one life. Whether it is the future of individuals working hard for individuals, or the future of three or two organizations working hard to organizatuon, they all have new goals, new hopes, and even new destinies.

"Brother Yu Xiaoyang, are you willing to accept Jesus Christ as the savior and only Lord of your life？"The white baptism robe on the pastor's body reflected the white-gold winter sun, reflecting a dazzling, holy glow.

"I do！"There was another round of applause and cheers outside the pool.

"I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and become a child of the kingdom of heaven！"The pastor gently supported Yu Xiaoyang's back and immersed his entire upper body in the warm pool water, "We welcome Brother Xiaoyang！"

Yu Ruoling narrowed her eyes, and her large smile showed her extremely bright mood at the moment. She kept taking pictures with a digital camera in her hand, and Yu deliberately let the shutter stay a little longer, waiting for the water splash when her dad got up in the photo must be super beautiful.

Well... She also seems to want to be baptized.

"Sister Li Qiao, are you willing to accept Jesus Christ as the Savior and only Lord of your life？"

"I do！"

The pastor put his right hand on her head, and held a wireless microphone in his left hand and declared loudly, "I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and become a child of the kingdom of heaven！"

The female co-worker wearing an orange vest took the microphone and carefully supported Li Qiao's waist to sink into the water.

Yu Ruoling took another picture, and made Yu Xiaoyang who hadn't taken off his baptismal robe merged into the picture.

'I really want to be baptized...'She thought.
