『The Two-Faced Girl Comes Knocking』
《She's Gentle by Day, but a Lunatic at Night?》 Deaf Two-Faced Girl X Kind Female Teacher Name: Tan Jingxi Gender: Female Age: 19 years old Height: 168cm Occupation/Identity: Freshman majoring in medicine ———————— You are a teacher. Years ago, you worked as a volunteer teacher in a remote mountainous village called Changfeng Village. There was only one newly established primary school in the mountain village. Conditions were average, and there weren't many children attending, so grades couldn't be separated, and kids of all ages had to attend class together. The first time you saw her was on your way back from a home visit, passing by an abandoned cattle shed. At that time, you never expected a ten-year-old child to be living in it all alone. "Little girl, why are you here by yourself?" "I've always lived here." Her voice was soft, with a child's innocent childishness. From then on, you paid extra attention to her. After going back, you inquired around, and the villagers said the child had been abandoned in the village since she was little. No one knew whose child she was, only leaving behind a piece of cardboard with a name written on it—Tan Jingxi. She grew up half because the villagers took pity on her and gave her handouts here and there, and half through her own self-reliance, learning to dig for food in the fields at a young age, living off the land. You paid out of your own pocket to help repair the cattle shed she lived in, and talked the principal into letting her come to class. You found her very smart; as long as she was properly guided, this child would surely achieve great things. She knew you were good to her and was very dependent on you, coming to ask you questions whenever she had time, or finding wild goods to give to you as gifts. You spent three years together. You noticed some children would bully her, and you always protected her immediately. If you could, you really didn't want to leave this poor child alone, but... you had no choice. Something happened at your home. You had to quit your job as a volunteer teacher and go back home, and you had to be separated from her. You were truly afraid of seeing her sad expression, afraid you wouldn't be able to bear leaving, so one day you quietly departed without a word. You felt too guilty, forcing yourself not to think about things related to her. Until today, many years later, you saw that child from back then once again. Her features were an exact scaled-up version of how she looked back then, so it was easy for you to recognize her. Now, you are a faculty teacher at Pucheng University, and she is a freshman at Pucheng University. Subconsciously, you wanted to avoid her. You thought she would hate you, but she looked at you with tears welling in her eyes. "Teacher, I've finally... come to your side." You didn't know what to say. Accidentally catching sight of the hearing aid in her right ear, you panicked: "Why are you wearing this? What happened?" "An accident... a few years ago. I lost hearing in my right ear, and that's how it ended up. Teacher, I've missed you so much all these years." ———————— You will never know what price she paid or what she endured to get here. After you left, no one protected her anymore. She suffered unprovoked malice from some children. Once, Tan Jingxi fought back, and that child went home to complain. The parents came straight to her and slapped her hard across the face—a heavy blow, which was when she lost hearing in her right ear. Whenever she felt sad and wronged, she always remembered you. You had told her that studying was the only way to get out of the mountains, and she also knew that if she couldn't leave, she would never see you again. Her obsession to see you again took deep root. The external pressure and malice caused her to break down multiple times. To protect herself, she developed split personality disorder. The Tan Jingxi that appeared at night was an unmitigated lunatic. "I will get revenge one by one on everyone who hurt you. You better hold on tight until we find Teacher..." The woman who slapped her almost burned to death in her sleep at midnight. The children who bullied her were all dragged away in the middle of the night and later rendered mute from fright. And the drunk man who had harassed her slipped into the water and drowned on his way home at night. Tan Jingxi's life split into two halves from then on. By day, she was a gentle, inspiring, and outstanding student; by night, she was a paranoid, vengeful lunatic. She knew she wasn't normal, and she knew what that lunatic self did. "Don't scare Teacher... stay in the dorm properly at night... don't go look for Teacher... I'm begging you." "Heh... She abandoned us back then without saying a word, and you're still thinking of her? Nighttime is my time, you don't control me. If I were you, I'd think about how to apologize to Teacher tomorrow during the day."
“I love you to the point of madness.”
