Those people's eyes darted around nervously.

They... didn't know why this happened either.

Pei Yushen was a legendary figure among his peers since elementary school. Everyone thought that such a prodigy would have a smooth and successful life, until three years ago, when he was paralyzed in a car accident.

It's like a real-life tale of a genius falling from grace. At first, they might feel sorry for his disability, but what's more hidden in their hearts is a secret smugness built on the suffering of others, especially when that person is an unattainable prodigy.

—Oh my god… So even someone like that can have bad luck? Heaven really is fair…

—Life will definitely be very inconvenient in the future. I don't know how I will live my life. Maybe I will go to study abroad directly?

Fortunately, I'm healthy and not disabled. Pei Yushen was just one door closed...

At first, when I saw someone "unintentionally" trip over his wheelchair or spill his water glass, I felt that it wasn't right. But as these things happened more and more often, I couldn't help but think when I saw him again, "This is the once-proud son of heaven."

After marveling at it for a while, he ignored it and continued doing his own exercises.

Of course, some people couldn't resist the temptation to tease geniuses and joined the bullies, but what's laughable is that they didn't think their behavior was bullying.

It was just an accident... a moment of impulse... he was just curious and wanted to try it out...

Then the situation escalated, ending in a bloody and gruesome scene.

Did they... really do something wrong?

A few strands of confusion appeared on each of the young, innocent faces.

Chaochao also looked confused and bewildered.

What are they talking about?

Why can't I understand?

The child, kept in the dark, looked left and right but couldn't figure it out. He just had a vague unease in his heart, feeling that it was something very bad for his brother Yu Shen.

From her perspective, all she could see were pairs of legs wearing striped school pants, and densely packed, eerie tree trunks like those in a dark forest, which made the child feel uneasy, oppressed, and a little suffocated.

Aside from the students who came to watch the spectacle, there were also those peering down from the woods, scrutinizing, or gossiping.

So this is how Yu Shen used to get around when he was riding in the little car?

Suddenly feeling down, Chaochao frowned, but within two seconds she perked up again, took a step closer to the wheelchair, and reached out her little hand to grasp the boy's fingertips resting on the armrest with a sorrowful expression.

Brother Yu Shen really had a tough time back then, sob sob.

Another unfortunate brother of hers QAQ.

Pei Yushen had been calmly watching the dog-eat-dog scene with an air of indifference, but when he looked down and noticed his fingers being suddenly gripped, he assumed Chaochao was scared and whispered to comfort her:

Ignore them.

Chaochao patted his hand and replied in a childish voice, "Then brother shouldn't pay any attention to them either."

Qiu Zhewen, who had given up entirely, quickly calmed down. Seeing the brother and sister whispering to each other as if no one else was around, he was so angry that his temples throbbed.

He took a deep breath, and after being rebuffed by Chaochao, he looked at Pei Yushen, who hadn't said much so far.

"You still haven't said why you came. You just showed up randomly. What are you going to tell Song Xiaoyang, the victim, about this?"

Qiu Zhewen questioned coldly, his smile sarcastic.

"Qiu Zhewen, if you can't speak properly, then shut up."

A chilling, menacing voice rang out from behind, and the students in Class 1, who were crowded at the front, silently made way for the newcomer.

For no particular reason, it's just that the reunion of Song Xiaoyang and Pei Yushen, who have a long-standing grudge, has made today's gossip even more sensational. It's also because Song Xiaoyang seems to have gone crazy since he was injured, and no one in the class dares to mess with him.

"Pei Yushen, didn't you say you would never appear in front of me again?"

Song Xiaoyang stopped two meters away from the wheelchair, his jaw clenched, staring intently at the face that had appeared repeatedly in his nightmares day and night.

This guy! He's definitely a bad guy like Cobra!

Sensing a large mass of intense resentment approaching, Chaochao swallowed hard, took a small step forward while clutching her lollipop, if one ignored the fact that she was practically glued to her wheelchair.

"You said it yourselves."

Pei Yushen calmly met the sharp, piercing gaze of the boy opposite him.

In fact, although the affiliated high school claimed that he had withdrawn from the school, Pei Yushen's student status was still retained. As long as he was willing to return after the situation calmed down, the school could process his enrollment on the spot.

This was the coveted prize they had been hoarding for so long: a walking signboard for college admissions, an absolute guarantee of top-tier college admission rates, a potential top scorer in the city... They had gone to great lengths to prevent anyone from poaching them, but unexpectedly, their own people burned down their granary overnight.

The principal was so frustrated that he slapped his swollen thigh and rushed it to the hospital that very night.

But there was nothing they could do. The Song family had bought the headlines, and public opinion had already blown up. They couldn't calm things down without punishing Pei Yushen.

However, Song Xiaoyang was well aware of the fact that Pei Yushen could return to school at any time.

Upon hearing Pei Yushen's seven-word reply, he laughed in anger, habitually touching the ugly, raised scar on his neck. His voice was chilling, like the scraping sound of a venomous snake crawling through a swamp, "Then what are you doing slinking back like this now?"

He then questioned.

Do you know what day it is today?

What day is it?

The students around him looked at each other in bewilderment, and even the nervous Chaochao was intrigued by him.

Song Xiaoyang coldly curled one corner of his mouth:

"It's been three hundred and ninety-eight days since you stabbed me!"

"You dare come back? Even if you kneel down and beg me, I will never forgive you!"

Onlookers: "…………"

Chaochao: "???"

System: Huh?? No way, bro, you remember the date so clearly, do you want to see him or not?

What shocked Chaochao was, did something like this really need an anniversary? What a rascal with such a strong sense of ritual!

Immersed in shock, the little dumpling didn't notice that the moment Song Xiaoyang uttered the word "stab," Pei Yushen's fingertips twitched slightly. He glanced at the little dumpling, whose head was full of question marks, and only lingered for a brief moment before withdrawing his gaze.

He raised his long eyelashes, his dark eyes staring straight at the boy in front of him.

So you want to do it again?

Song Xiaoyang was stunned and wondered if he had just imagined the sound.
