Chapter 46 Her Savior
Before going to bed, Yan Songyu pulled up the surveillance footage from the Zhou family's living room. She swirled the red wine in her hand and watched the confrontation between the mother and daughter, feeling quite pleased.
Feng Yu put his arm around Yan Songyu's waist from behind and commented on Zhou Yue's actions as "foolish, ignorant, selfish, and vicious."
"I'm so looking forward to the day when the truth is revealed. I can't wait to see Zhou Yue break down and despair."
Yan Songyu downed the red wine in one gulp, then turned and kissed Feng Yu. Red wine dripped from the corner of his mouth, only to be licked clean.
According to the information she found in her past life, Feifei also experienced a period of bullying when she was a child. However, Feifei was an optimistic person who always smiled at everyone and took the initiative to make friends with everyone. She expanded her money-making business from collecting bottles to running errands for her classmates, carrying their school bags, and even doing their homework. Not only did she earn money, but she also improved her relationship with her classmates. Therefore, the bullying did not last long. After the bully was identified, he apologized to Feifei and transferred schools.
But given Zhou Mu's current sensitive, withdrawn nature and lack of interpersonal skills, the future remains uncertain.
Yan Songyu's thoughts were quickly drawn back by the pain on her lips, and Feng Yu's displeasure was evident between her lips and teeth. "Are you daydreaming?"
"I was wrong."
Yan Songyu took the initiative to entwine her lips and tongue with Feng Yu's, their breaths growing hotter...
On the computer screen that hadn't been turned off, Zhou Mu sat alone in the living room, piecing together his workbook piece by piece, copying it over, and then packing the old books he'd collected from bottles into his schoolbag. He didn't climb into his small bed until dawn, and then drew the curtains to go to sleep.
The next day, after Zhou Mu went to school, he told his homeroom teacher about being bullied. The homeroom teacher immediately conducted an investigation, but none of the more than forty students in the class came forward to testify.
The homeroom teacher even inquired with students from other classes, but to no avail, and ultimately had to let the matter drop.
Zhou Mu was completely isolated. She sat alone in a corner, and her deskmate drew a very obvious dividing line between the two sides with a pen.
During breaks, she clearly noticed the strange looks her classmates were giving her. Occasionally, she would hear some people say things like "aloof," "tattletale," or "weirdo," but most people simply ignored her.
She silently told herself, "It's okay, Zhou Mu, you're here to learn. Just focus on your studies! Nothing else matters, don't worry about it. Good luck!"
Meanwhile, at Mingzhu Elementary School, just across the street, Feifei was being praised by her teacher in front of everyone for an essay titled "My Mother".
"Yan Feifei's essay this time was excellent. Would Feifei mind sharing it with everyone?"
Feifei stood up happily and read her essay aloud with confidence: "My mother is a gentle yet strong woman. She has long, thick, black hair, and beautiful, expressive eyes that seem to speak volumes. When she smiles, her eyes curve into two little crescent moons... I love my mother, and she will always be the most important person to me!"
Kong Ying, as Fei Fei's deskmate, good friend, and fan, clapped enthusiastically, her chubby little hands turning red from the clapping.
"Yan Feifei's handwriting is also very neat and beautiful, it's obvious she's practiced. Good handwriting is a reflection of your class, and I hope everyone can learn from Yan Feifei!"
Leaving aside how happy Yan Songyu was to receive the essay from the teacher, after class, many classmates surrounded Feifei, wanting to see her handwriting.
Feifei gets along well with her classmates. Who doesn't like a sweet, cheerful girl? Naturally, she won't hesitate to share her experiences.
"I practice calligraphy using Mr. Song Zhangying's calligraphy copybook. If you like, you can buy his copybook to practice."
...
Zhou Mu felt that Feifei might really be the savior sent to her by God, otherwise, why would she always appear when she needed her?
After that complaint came to nothing, the targeting at school did decrease, but they simply shifted their focus to off-campus areas.
This was the third time she had been stopped by this group of people.
"Little beggar, how much money did you make today?" A sixth-grade boy cornered Zhou Mu. "Hand it over and we'll let you go home, otherwise..."
He clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking loudly.
"I have no money at all, so why are you targeting me? And you probably look down on the few cents I earn by collecting garbage, right?"
She didn't remember offending this person. He was supposedly a school bully in sixth grade. His family could have sent him to Mingzhu Elementary School on the next street, but he had a bad temper, and his parents were afraid that he would offend people at Mingzhu Elementary School, so they sent him to Nan Yi Elementary School.
The school bully grinned maliciously, "I don't care about your few cents; they can't even buy a bottle of water. But if you need these few cents, I don't want to leave them for you."
Zhou Mu felt resentful, but dared not show it. "I don't remember offending you in any way?"
"You haven't offended me, but who told you to be so cunning and attention-seeking, making Yingying's sister sad? So I have to teach you a lesson. If you don't give me the money, I'll burn all your books!" he threatened.
Yingying's younger sister?
Zhou Mu didn't even recognize Yingying, let alone her sister. But this pretentious, show-offy boy clearly didn't intend to explain himself and directly snatched her schoolbag.
Zhou Mu clung tightly to the schoolbag, unwilling to give it up. If the books were burned again, she would have no books left to use, and she wouldn't have the money to buy a new set.
The school bully continued to threaten: "I advise you to let go, or don't blame us for being ruthless."
"I won't let you go! Go ahead and kill me if you dare!" Zhou Mu's fierce eyes scared the others away for a moment, but the school bully only paused for a moment. He had been in Nan Yi Elementary School for six years and had never been afraid of anyone!
"Brother Chao, maybe we should just give up. She's quite pitiful; she's just a little beggar." Someone started to back out.
"Such a coward, get lost!" The school bully, called Brother Chao, shoved Zhou Mu aside, knocking him to the ground. He picked up a brick and said, "Want to die? I'll grant your wish!"
Zhou Mu, clutching his schoolbag, curled up on the ground, closed his eyes, and prepared to face his fate, but— "Stop!"
Feifei's sweet voice couldn't hide her anger, "Uncle Zhong, arrest them all! Call the police!"
Today, Yan Songyu and Feng Yu have to attend a very important banquet and can't get away. Feifei will be picked up by Uncle Li, the driver of the Yan family, and Zhong Weicheng, one of Yan Songyu's bodyguards.
The group of children wanted to run away as soon as they saw Feifei wearing Mingzhu Elementary School's uniform, not to mention Zhong Weicheng, the tall and burly bodyguard in black. They took off running, but Zhong Weicheng shouted, "Stop!" and they were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.
"Mumu, are you alright?"
Feifei ran over and helped Zhou Mu up. From the hand she reached out at the school gate to rescuing her from the warehouse, to finding her on the roadside that night and comforting her, and now to this moment, Feifei's image as a savior in Zhou Mu's heart has been completely established.
