Bang-

A clear slap in the face.

"Chen Ping! Don't be shameless!"

Huang Zhao pulled the collar of a student in school uniform with one hand and pushed it fiercely against the wall. He raised his hand and slapped the other party's white cheek. In an instant, a faint red and swollen palm print that could be seen in the naked eye appeared.

"Huang Zhao, I really have no money..."

Chen Ping covered his face, his eyes dodged, and he did not dare to face Huang Zhao. His voice was full of cowardice and fear, and he could even hear a hint of crying.

Bang-

Another slap.

"Chen Ping! Why did I tell you yesterday? I asked your mother for the excuse of having sex with books and miscellaneous fees! You trash! Can't you even tell lies?"

Huang Zhao laughed anxiously, and after slapped, he seemed to be still confused. He grabbed Chen Ping's collar and clenched his fists and beat the other person's head.

"But my family really has no money."

Chen Ping dodged Huang Zhao's fist and twitched his nose.

"No money?! No money to read a nonsense!"

Huang Zhao grabbed Chen Ping's schoolbag strap, pulled it off hard, and then pulled the strap off Chen Ping's back. All the textbooks in the schoolbag fell to the ground and stepped on them.

"Chen Ping, I will tell you that if you don't have money tomorrow, you should stop thinking about entering this school gate in the future! Let's go!"

After venting his willfulness, Huang Zhao pointed at Chen Ping and threatened with a ferocious look, and then called a few friends beside him who were happily watching the show and left the alley.

Shortly after they left, Chen Ping squatted down silently. He picked up the worn-out schoolbag covered with gray and footprints, and slowly packed the textbook into his bag. Two lines of tears quietly left on his red, swollen and aggrieved face.

After packing his schoolbag, he did not leave the alley, but squatted under the wall, holding the schoolbag in his arms and sobbed silently. Until the sky gradually darkened, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and slowly stood up and left.

Chen Ping was born in a single-parent family and his parents divorced and separated since childhood. The reason was that his father had an affair after making money in business. Unable to accept this fact, Chen's mother took the initiative to file for divorce, and after negotiation, the child was left to Chen's mother to raise. Chen's father followed the partner of the affair and went to a prosperous big city. Every month, Chen's father would pay living expenses to the mother and son on schedule. Until Chen Ping entered junior high school, Chen's father never sent money to the mother and son again, and there was no news.

Chen's mother is an ordinary female worker in a local textile factory. As the factory's economic benefits become worse and worse, and the loss of Chen's father's support, the mother and son's life are becoming increasingly difficult.

Chen Ping, who had no father, often received ridicule from his classmates since he went to school, so his personality became weak and inferior, but his academic performance was still good. However, when he graduated from elementary school, he could not afford to go to a good middle school due to family difficulties, so he could only go to the Thirteenth Middle School in the city with a poor academic environment.

Chen Ping's tragic life officially kicked off.

During the three years of junior high school, he was the target of bullying in his class, especially Huang Zhao.

Huang Zhao is a famous poor student at No. 13 Middle School. He is idle all day on campus. In addition, he has a brother who is in the society. Any student he doesn't like will punch and kick unscrupulously. These students are worried about revenge and dare not tell their teachers and parents afterwards, which further fuels his arrogant arrogance.

From the second year of junior high school, perhaps because of the instigation and guidance of the gangster brother, Huang Zhao actually colluded with friends in the school to extort weak and bullied classmates, calling it a protection fee. Anyone who refuses to pay will block the alley after school and fight and threaten it until the other party is willing to pay it.

Chen Ping is just one of the victims.

Chen Ping's family is poor and his protection fees are often paid in arrears, which will naturally become the target of Huang Zhao's key lessons.

What happened in the alley just now was just an ordinary microcosm of his entire three years in junior high school.

Because of factory efficiency, Chen's mother went out early and returned late, so she would buy brunch for five yuan every day, and all of this money was handed over to Huang Zhao, which caused Chen Ping to go hungry for not having brunch for two years and her health was malnourished. Sometimes he was so hungry that he would take all his money to eat. He would be beaten if he had no money to pay the protection fee.

Chen Ping was in a state of 100% of junior high school. He would be able to get rid of Huang Zhao's claws and be completely free. Therefore, his grades remain at the top of the class. In the future, he would definitely be able to go to a good high school. He believed that if it was a key first and second high school in the city, there would definitely be no black sheep like Huang Zhao!

Back at a simple home of less than 30 square meters, while his mother had not yet come back from get off work, Chen Ping quickly washed his face with cold water, trying not to let his mother see something strange on her face. Then he found a sewing bag and sewed the broken strap of the schoolbag again.

"Chen Ping! Mom is back, see what I brought for you?"

At around 7 o'clock in the evening, Chen's mother returned home. As soon as she entered the door, she happily called Chen Ping's name.

When Chen Ping came out of the bedroom, he whispered in blue work clothes. Chen's mother, who had a haggard face, held a white plastic bag full of blood in her hand and shook it in front of Chen Ping with a smile.

"Lao Zhou, who sells meat, has some pigs left before closing the door. She gave them to me directly when she was passing by shopping for vegetables."

Chen’s mother usually goes to buy vegetables when the vegetable market is about to close, because at this time, vegetable vendors will give a very cheap price to sell the remaining vegetables and meat. If the relationship is good, they will even sell half-sell half-get.

"Do you want me to help with it?" Chen Ping hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"No! Your task now is to study hard! Have you finished your homework today?" Chen's mother shook her head, took the pig and vegetables and prepared to go to the shangtai outside the house to cook.

"I've finished writing, I'm just reviewing my homework." Chen Ping said.

"Then you will go back to your room to continue studying. After mom prepares the meal, she will ask you to come out for dinner." said Chen's mother.

"good!"

Chen Ping nodded.

Looking at his mother's slightly hunched back, he couldn't help feeling sad. His mother's salary was just about to bear the food and clothing at home every month, and his tuition was saved little by little every year. Faced with Huang Zhao's threats and extortion, he did not have any extra money to give to the other party except brunch money.

I heard that after entering high school, I can apply for poverty alleviation and scholarships. At that time, as long as he works hard to apply, he can help his mother reduce the burden on her shoulders!

High school! High school!

Two months left! Come quickly!

However, now he cannot ignore an important issue.

If he doesn’t want to be beaten, where will he get money for Huang Zhao tomorrow?

In the past, he could borrow some from his friends who had a good time when he was a child, but now these friends have already alienated him one by one because of borrowing money, so they obviously no longer regard him as friends.

After dinner, Chen Ping turned off the lights and prepared to go to bed at 10 o'clock.

Lying on the bed, Chen Ping felt so tired, and tears flowed down his eyes without realizing it.

It's night.

He had a dream.

He dreamed of a white world, and he seemed to be walking aimlessly, constantly walking, as if he was going to the end of the world and walk out of the white world in front of him.

For a long time, for a long time.

He saw a black dot in the distance.

When he ran forward, he saw someone.

A man sitting in a chair reading quietly.

And this person looks very similar to him, and to be more precise, he looks like himself ten years later.

"Who are you?"

In the dream, Chen Ping asked this.

"My name is Chen An."

He closed the book and looked at him with joy or sorrow.

"Chen An... My name is Chen Ping." Chen Ping said.

"I know." Chen Andao.

"Do you know me?" Chen Ping was puzzled.

"Because I am you, you are me." Chen An said. "I have always lived in your body."

Chen Ping felt horrified.

"You are not me! Go out of my body!"

"I can't get out because I said that I am you." Chen An said calmly.

"You are lying!" Chen Ping shouted.

"You are me in countless parallel universes, and I am you in countless parallel universes. Under normal circumstances, each other will never interfere or intersect." Chen An said calmly. "But because of an accident, I came here and lived in another me in the parallel universe. Now, do you understand?"

"I...I don't understand! I don't want to know either!"

Chen Ping covered his ears and shouted, as if he could not accept this absurd fact.

"Don't worry, I won't harm you."

Chen An sat back on the chair and continued to look through the books in his hand.

"I will not interfere in your life without your consent."

As soon as he finished speaking, the white world began to collapse, and Chen Ping fell into an endless abyss like a stepping into the empty space.

ah--

Chen Pingwu suddenly woke up from the bed with his hands and feet. When he realized that it was a dream just now, he breathed a sigh of relief, and cold sweat broke out on his face and behind him.

I picked up the electronic watch without a strap by the bed and looked at it at 6:23.

It will be seven minutes before the alarm clock will ring until six:30.

Anyway, Chen Ping simply got up and prepared to brush his teeth and wash his face to go to school.

"Chen Ping, did you wake up so early?"

As soon as he left the bedroom, Chen An immediately saw his mother who was about to go out to work.

"I woke up early, so I thought about going to school early."

Chen Ping took the cup with toothbrush and toothpaste on the small windowsill in the living room and said.

"Well! Be careful when going to school. Mom goes to work first. The money is on the table. Don't throw it away later. Remember not to spend it randomly and have a good meal." Chen's mother gave a few words and hurried out.

Looking at the five dollars on the table, Chen Ping watched for a long time.

In order to have money, he used to deceive his mother and lost the money several times in order to pay Huang Zhao's protection fee. So since then, his mother would ask him to put the money off every time.

Silently put the money on the table into his pocket, the amount of money was not enough to be enough for the fifty yuan protection fee that Huang Zhao asked for.

What should he do?

Will you ask Huang Zhao for two more days to be granted?
