After dinner, Mr. Wen took me to school himself, driving very slowly and teaching me how to read signs along the way.

The school was easy to find, at the other end of the block, and on the way you could see a couple of students in the Union uniforms.

Lawyer Win stayed with me the whole time I signed up, until I was done with everything.

The principal was very kind and asked me some questions about my studies, so he called the head teacher to come and take me away.

The homeroom teacher was a middle-aged man with a kind smile as he brought me into the class. I thought that the first period would be very awkward, but in reality, my classmates were all writing their homework, so no one paid any attention to me.

After the bell rang, the teacher left. Just as I was packing up my things, a shadow suddenly appeared above my head. I raised my head and saw a few men standing in front of me with roguish smiles on their faces.

"Are you new here? What's your name Bai Ruyue? " The man in the lead, holding the fountain pen I had placed on the table, spoke up with a roguish look on his face.

I kept my head down, saying nothing.

"I thought she was a beauty when I heard her name, but I didn't expect that... "He's just a weak chicken. Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. His chest isn't even open yet. Are you a girl?" The more he spoke, the more exaggerated his words became. At the side, a burst of laughter rang out.

Memories of the past welled up in my mind, and I fought back tears and tried to keep silent.

"Look, you still don't dare to speak? Do you think she's a coward or something?

"That's right …" A voice echoed out.

At that moment, a loud bang sounded from beside us. I was so shocked that I realised it was a bottle of mineral water that was rolling at our feet.

When he looked up, he saw a girl standing not far away with a face full of anger. She walked over and angrily said, "Don't go overboard, go back to your seats!"

"Tsk …" The men kicked my table and scattered.

"Hello, my name is Gu Xiangqing, and your name is Bai Ruyue, right?" Listening to her self-introduction, I nodded dumbly.

"This is how they are. Every day, they stir up trouble. Don't take it to heart!" Gu Shenwei very naturally sat in my seat, smiling as he spoke to me.

"I'm fine." I shook my head.

The first day went pretty smoothly, especially for Gu Yueqing. She took care of me and took me wandering around the school, telling me some stories about the class.

It wasn't until after school that we reluctantly said goodbye at the school gate. I stood in front of the intersection and thought for a long time. Finally, I remembered my route home.

As I turned the corner, I suddenly remembered the fight I had seen that evening. I wondered how the boy was doing.

At the front of the house, I was surprised to see Wen Guanghui sitting in front of the garden with her head lowered.

I carefully walked over. Under the dim moonlight, I saw a trace of bruises at the corner of his mouth. I pushed his shoulders and whispered, "Are you alright?"

"Scram …" Without raising his head, Wen Guanghui coldly spat out these two words.

The figure seemed a little familiar. I asked hesitantly, "Did you fight with someone else on Paradise Street?"

The moment I asked this question, Wen Guanghui suddenly raised his head and glared at me, not saying a word.

I was scared by his gaze and timidly said, "You dropped a pendant last time …" "I …" Before he could finish, he stood up and grabbed my chin with his hand.

And that wasn't the most depressing thing. He reached out and grabbed my wrist, and all of a sudden he pushed me to the ground. There was friction between my chest and the concrete, and for a second I felt like my breathing was going to stop.

Warm light stood unmoved. I could clearly feel the wound on my chest crack open, and tears began to flow down my face.

"What are you pretending for? I didn't do anything to you. " Wen Guanghui said disdainfully.

"Pain …" I looked at him and couldn't help it.

Looking down, I saw that my white shirt had traces of dark red blood on it. He seemed to be frightened, and his expression changed. Then, he bent down and picked me up …

I can't really remember what happened that night. All I know is that I was carried home by Wen Liangliu and then to the hospital. Other than the numbing memory of my chest pain, everything else has turned into a dream.

The next day, I woke up very early. I lied on the bed and thought back to what happened last night. Wen Guanghui was trying to kill me because of that pendant.

Did he think I wasn't going to give it back to him?

This is a huge misunderstanding. I've always wanted to return it to him.

My injury last night didn't affect my going to school. As long as my arm movements weren't too big, it wouldn't hurt too much.

Just as I was about to leave, Wen Guanghui grabbed my school bag and stood outside the door. "Hurry up and put on your shoes. Don't dawdle."

I looked over, flattered. Was he going to school with me?

Without a word, Wen Liuyun had long legs and left me behind in a moment. I could only run after him, gasping for breath.

"Can't you hurry up!" At the corner stood Wen Liuyun, with an impatient look on his face.

"Oh."

When we were about to reach the school gates, I called out to him, "Wen Guanghui!"

The air was quiet for a moment. It was probably because his gaze was too sharp that I didn't know how to speak. After a long time, I hesitantly said, "Hey …" I'll return this to you. "

Lying on his palm was the pendant. Wen Guoliang raised an eyebrow, and then received it expressionlessly.
