I was called in by my mother's sisters at the hairdresser's, who saw me cry so miserably that they didn't want me to interfere in the business at the door of the shop. They were nice people, though, and they didn't say anything about being hard to listen to when they called me in.

It's better here than at school.

Ah Mei used a shampoo towel to wipe the chalk dust off my back while she asked me what had happened.

However, I really didn't know how to explain what just happened, so I had to stop crying.

Ah Mei looked upstairs and said, "That Sister Ling …" "Uh, I'm still busy. How about you wait here for a while? Have you eaten?"

Then I remembered that my mother didn't like me coming to the store, so I stood up. "My mother left me some food. I'm going home now."

"Oh right, why did you come over while crying?"

"No, nothing …" "I'm just in a bad mood," I said, hurrying to the door and trying to smile.

Without waiting for her to ask, I ran out of the hairdresser's.

On the way home, due to thinking too much about school, I didn't even know where I went wrong. It was only when I heard a loud shout from the other side that I suddenly got a shock and blankly looked up.

It was a hidden alley that few people passed by at this time. In front of me, there were a few well-dressed and well-groomed young men who were surrounding a boy in a high school uniform and beating him with their fists and kicks.

I just stood there, not knowing what to do. The sound of punches hitting flesh hurt me just by listening to it, and even though the boys were bleeding from the corners of their mouths and sockets, they were still fighting like mad beasts.

Catching the dim light, I saw his face covered in blood. I stood still, a wave of worry rising in my heart.

I wanted to shout, "The police are here." However, because of his fear, his throat had become hoarse. No matter what, he could not make a sound, and could only stand there in a daze.

Although the boy was brave and fierce, he was quickly at a disadvantage. His opponent's fist had hit his stomach, causing him to groan as he fell to the ground.

Only then did the youths who were in high spirits notice me. However, it was obvious that I didn't have any killing power. He only glanced at me once before fiercely kicking the boy a few more times with the other four.

My legs had gone limp from fright, but it seemed that the boy on the ground needed more help than I did. I poked him. "You …"

The boy couldn't stand up, but he threw my hand away.

What kind of person was this!

I stood up. At first, I didn't want to care about him, but after seeing that the ground was covered in his blood, I couldn't help but say, "Wait for me."

As I spoke, I ran to the nearby pharmacy. When I brought the medicine back with me to the alley, the ground was already empty except for a pool of faint blood.

As I was about to turn around and leave, I caught sight of a shiny pendant in the corner.

He bent down to pick it up and found that it was a photo. The woman in the photo had a gentle smile and was holding a little boy in her arms.

It should have been left by that boy. By some strange means, I picked up the pendant and put it in my pocket.

A dreamless night. I woke up at dawn and went to school. Mom should have come back in the middle of the night and was sleeping on the sofa.

Standing at the entrance of the school, I felt a chill in my heart. Just thinking about how I would meet that scum Zhang Anfeng in school made my heart heavy.

Just as I was in a dilemma, a creepy voice sounded in my ear, "Bai Ruyue — —"

Before I could react, I was suddenly picked up by someone, and my feet suddenly flew into the air.

With my screams, the person hugging me from behind suddenly let out a 'wuu'.

The boy, Rongfei, who had a good time with Zhang Anfeng, let go of me and moaned while covering his nose.

I turned around in shock and saw Zhang Anfeng staring at me with his arms folded across his chest. He had a gloating smile on his face. "You've gotten into trouble. You're dead for sure!"
