“Those thugs were very powerful. They had their own gangs at school, smoked in the toilets every day, and even dared to hit teachers. So when I was bullied, no one dared to help me.”
"With their support, those who bullied me seemed to have found a backer. At first, they would just throw my textbooks in the trash can before I even got to class. Normally, class starts at eight, but I have to be in class by six, otherwise my textbooks will be in the trash can..."
"Later, they started knocking over my desk and accusing me of vandalizing school property. Then... they became even more unscrupulous. Even the other students in my class were affected by them. They warned me not to get too close to them, saying that my disability was contagious. That kind of environment... was suffocating."
Jiang Yu continued speaking to herself, and then she took a deep breath, as if she was suppressing something, "It was at that time that I suddenly realized that no one would protect me anymore, and I would have to do everything myself."
“My mother, she was the first hero in my life, but she’s gone…”
As if sensing something, Xia Che, even though he was blindfolded, still managed to accurately reach out and touch Jiang Yu's cheek.
It was damp there, both hot and cold, like tears and hot water at the same time.
"You know what? My biggest wish isn't just to see the sea, I also want... them to apologize to me."
"Originally, I couldn't do either of these two things, and I thought it would be a regret for the rest of my life. Fortunately, you appeared and helped me achieve one of them. Overall... it's not too bad."
Jiang Yu smiled, and Xia Che heard a very comforting laugh; the smile was not forced.
"They will all come true."
Xia Che felt as if something in his chest had been ignited, and his breathing became heavy and suffocating.
Those thugs...
He remembered it.
Suddenly, Xia Che realized he could see again; it was Jiang Yu who had taken off the rag.
There were no suggestive scenes, and Xia Che didn't look down at anything that would make one's blood boil.
Jiang Yu sat in the bathtub, the dim yellow light filtering through the rising steam. Her expression was calm as she looked at herself.
only……
She was crying.
Tears streamed down Jiang Yu's face. She had bruises all over her body, scars on her wrists, and even her legs were covered in wounds.
shocking.
She was showing herself all her past experiences.
A man and a woman were alone in a room, one of them taking a shower. This should have been a very erotic scene, but Xia Che couldn't muster any interest in it at all.
It felt like he'd been punched in the face; Xia Che felt a stinging sensation in his nose and couldn't breathe properly.
"Your wishes will all come true, they definitely will."
Xia Che repeated it again.
"Xia Che, don't pity me, don't feel sorry for me, not even a little bit."
Jiang Yu suddenly spoke up, "They can't kill me, no matter how big the setback is, they can't kill me. But if you pity me, I'll feel like I've already lost."
"……good."
Xia Che let out a long sigh.
"My grandmother and the neighbor lady have been advising me to consider transferring to a school for disabled students, so that at least I won't be bullied."
"I refused."
“My neighbor is a good person, and she meant well, I can tell… But I’m afraid that life in the school for the disabled is too comfortable, and I might be willing to stay there for the rest of my life.”
“I want to go to university, I want to go to a big city, I want to live a normal life, and... I’m afraid that if I live too comfortably, I will let go of my hatred for them. They went too far, I can’t forgive them. If I forgive them... it would be a betrayal of another Jiang Yu.”
“That thirteen-year-old Jiang Yu was at her most helpless, and I have no right to forgive them on her behalf.”
Jiang Yu gritted her teeth and suddenly murmured in an almost tearful voice, "I want... them to apologize!"
She was panting and didn't say anything more.
Xia Che suddenly felt an urge to hug the girl. At that moment, he had no gender in his eyes, no evil thoughts, he just wanted to hug her simply.
Jiang Yu saw through Xia Che's thoughts, stopped sobbing, raised her head and smiled gently. This smile was shattered by Xia Che.
“Listen, I know what you’ve been through. You’re right, they have to be held accountable for their actions.”
"Now that I've fulfilled one of your wishes, I think I can do the second one too."
"You will receive their apology, I swear to you."
Xia Che felt he really had to do something; this was the first time he had ever been so angry.
In the past eighteen years, Xia Che had never been angry even for a moment like he was now.
This poor girl shouldn't have to endure all this. All her suffering was imposed on her by fate. Jiang Yu did nothing wrong. What's hateful is that those people never thought of letting her go.
There are many acts of kindness in the world that leave a trace, but in contrast, malice never makes any sense.
Can we just ignore it?
Can we still treat Jiang Yu as a simple comic book heroine and make her our mission to return to the real world?
No, it's impossible.
They must pay the price.
"...Okay, I believe you."
Jiang Yu smiled gently, but her eyes darkened.
Those thugs didn't get into high school; instead, they went to a vocational school together. They were used to being arrogant and domineering, and they also had powerful backers outside of school. It was said that these backers were all underworld bosses with connections. If they weren't strong enough, strong enough to suffocate her, how could Jiang Yu not seek revenge all these years?
She didn't think Xia Che could do these things, but she could see his determination. At that moment, she believed in this hot-blooded fool in front of her.
"Help me dry my hair."
Jiang Yu turned around and said softly.
Xia Che brought a bath towel and carefully dried Jiang Yu's hair and body. Then he ran out to buy some food and had dinner with her.
After doing all this, Xia Che took his leave.
"Believe me, starting tomorrow, everything will be different."
Before leaving, Xia Che glanced at Jiang Yu's legs. She had already put on pants, so there was obviously nothing suggestive to be seen. He wasn't trying to take advantage of her at this time, but rather he was making a suggestion.
I had already given Jiang Yu a massage while I was giving her a bath. As for the effects of the massage... at the very least, there should be some improvement by tomorrow. By then, I'm sure Jiang Yu will really appreciate this surprise.
As for the medicine for treating heart disease, Xia Che thought for a moment and then secretly kept it at home along with the instructions, thinking that Jiang Yu would probably find it.
Faced with Xia Che's words, Jiang Yu just smiled quietly, clearly not understanding Xia Che's implication, but even so, she nodded seriously.
Then, Xia Che turned and walked away, his figure disappearing into the night. His eyes turned cold, terrifyingly so.
