When she was 8 years old—
Father brought home a boy. Little Chen Yu thought he was here to steal her father away. His name was Shen Yan.
Little Chen Yu tried all sorts of ways to torm...
“I told you! You and Wang Yue are Chen Yu’s lackeys! Chen Yu is no good either, he always bullies his own brother like this, I don’t know if your parents care.”
Li Chang pointed at Chen Yu and shouted angrily, and the last sentence seemed to hit Chen Yu and Shen Yan in the heart.
The surrounding classmates also made tsk-tsk sounds. Chen Yu had bullied Shen Yan quite a bit, and everyone had seen it.
Chen Yu stared at Li Chang without saying a word, which made Li Chang think that Chen Yu was afraid, so he continued to add fuel to the fire.
"Hmph, you don't dare to argue now, do you? You cheated on your grades this time too, didn't you?"
"Damn it, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"
Jiang Yang punched Li Chang in the face, and the scene instantly became chaotic. Chen Yu and Wang Yue were stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward to break up the fight, but secretly kicked Li Chang a few times.
"What are you doing! You've become like this just because I was gone for a moment?"
Old Wang stepped forward and separated the two men who were wrestling.
"Teacher! Jiang Yang attacked first!"
Li Chang grimaced as he reported to Lao Wang that he felt pain all over his body. Jiang Yang had just contradicted him, so why did his butt and back hurt so much?
"You two, come to the office!"
Old Wang walked angrily at the front. Jiang Yang had no injuries at all, except for a fist mark on his face.
Li Chang was in a worse state; his clothes were covered in footprints, his face was red, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth.
Chen Yu frowned, fearing that Jiang Yang would be punished.
"Class, students, class is starting."
The English teacher walked into the classroom with her textbook, and the previously noisy classroom instantly fell silent.
Chen Yu couldn't concentrate on class all morning. By the third period, only Li Chang had returned, and he looked smug.
But Jiang Yang did not return.
Wang Yue took out her phone and saw that Jiang Yang had sent a message in the group that he had been ordered to suspend his studies.
Chen Yu saw it after school; she took Wang Yue to eat at the school gate.
"Ugh, I'm speechless about Li Chang. He always has nothing better to do than cause trouble."
Wang Yue looked helpless. She hadn't expected Jiang Yang to be suspended from school, and now she had to go to school by herself every day.
"A week's leave of absence will pass quickly. Let Jiang Yang not be so impulsive in the future."
"Yeah, they never learn their lesson."
Chen Yu and Wang Yue sighed at the same time. After the last incident that ended up in the police station, Wang Yue would think things through before doing them, but not much.
At least I won't be as impulsive as before.
After they finished their meal, the two returned to school.
Old Wang came to the classroom before school ended.
"Students, I'm sorry to take up a little of your time, but the school has organized a training camp that all the second-year classes must attend."
As soon as he finished speaking, a chorus of "Ah!"s erupted from the audience.
"Teacher, we can't go, we're too busy with our studies. Let the first-year students go instead."
"Yeah, who would go to training camp at this hour?"
Old Wang patted the podium, "Quiet down, everyone. Do you think I don't know you have a lot of studies? But the school has given the order, and the teachers can't do anything about it. Alright, it's only for three days. School's out."
Shen Yan shook Chen Yu's shoulder. "Let's go home."
"Huh? Okay, I understand." Chen Yu stared blankly at the blackboard.
The two hadn't gone far when Wang Yue caught up with them, saying, "Why didn't you wait for me?!"
"I forgot!" Chen Yu looked at her with a guilty expression. He had been so engrossed in his thoughts that he hadn't remembered at all.
All three of them felt awkward on the way, and Wang Yue hadn't meant to be a third wheel.
"Yu Yu, do you think Jiang Yang will be able to make it to the training camp?"
Wang Yue looked at Chen Yu with some disappointment.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu calculated the time and said, "We can make it. It will be exactly one week since we set off."
"That's good."
Chen Yu and Shen Yan escorted Wang Yue back downstairs before heading home.
He walked silently, his mind replaying Li Chang's words from that morning. They served as a reminder that he could not forget what Chen Yu had done for him, even though she had changed for the better.
Chen Yu opened the door, and Chen Le popped out from behind it, "Haha, you're back!"
"Uncle! That's terrifying!"
Chen Yu patted his chest in fright; how could Chen Le still act like a child?
"Oh, I just thought you guys must be tired after a long day at school, so I wanted to give you a break."
Chen Le looked at Chen Yu with a grin, while Shen Yan behind him was not intimidated.
Chen Yu ignored Chen Le and went upstairs with her schoolbag.
Shen Yan wanted to leave, but Chen Le stopped him, "What's wrong with this child? He seems a little unhappy."
"Uncle, you're overthinking it. She just had some trouble in class today."
Shen Yan did not mention what happened today. Generally, even if he knew about Chen Yu's affairs, he would not say anything.
Chen Le nodded thoughtfully. Should he cook Chen Yu's favorite dish tonight to help ease her anxiety? He knew that high school students these days are prone to depression due to excessive academic pressure.
This is something we still need to take seriously. He took out his phone from his pocket and called Chen Kang.
"Hey bro, I have something to tell you..."
Chen Yu took off her schoolbag and put it on the ground. She covered her head, feeling a little uncomfortable, and began to recall what had happened over and over again.
She began to wonder if her approach had changed, causing many things to change now.
Are all the things she's doing now wrong?
But there's one thing she felt she did right: she was good to Shen Yan.
Knock, knock, knock. "May I come in, Chen Yu?"
A stern voice came from outside the door, and Chen Yu immediately composed herself, "Okay."
The door opened, and Shen Yan walked in with a notebook. "You didn't listen much in class today. Here are your notes. Take a look. If you don't want to study, you can study tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you, Chen Yan."
Chen Yu accepted the notebook he gave him, and Shen Yan nodded and left.
She watched Shen Yan's departing figure. Fortunately, her relationship with Shen Yan wasn't so bad anymore.
Jiang Yang was picked up by his mother. Since the last incident, Lin Qi had given up her career and returned home to take care of her child.
"Yangyang, Mom won't scold you this time, but Mom hopes this won't happen again, okay?"
"I know, Mom. It was just an accident this time, sigh."
Lin Qi tenderly patted Jiang Yang's head. Actually, her son was very sensible; he just lacked the love and care from her and Jiang Yuan.
"Okay, Mom will have the nanny cook your favorite food tonight."
Jiang Yang smiled and nodded. He had never imagined that Ma Qi would accompany him like this, even getting up early every day to make him breakfast. He finally understood how Chen Yu and Wang Yue felt.
He used to envy them; their parents were always at home, and someone would cook for them, while he always ate takeout.
Now, he can enjoy it too.
