Qiao Zhen squinted and barely managed to recognize that the boy being beaten in the video was Lu Zheng. As for the group of people who were beating him, there were many of them and no one was deliberately filmed, so Qiao Zhen didn't recognize any of them.
However, just watching this video made Qiao Zhen fall into deep thought.
In her memory, it seemed that she had just passed by this incident on a night of torrential rain.
But upon further reflection, Qiao Zhen could think of nothing at all.
Feeling a bit irritated, she exited the video call. Just as she was about to check her phone for anything else, the lights in the room suddenly went out.
Qiao Zhen was startled and almost screamed. She forced herself to calm down and covered her mouth without saying a word.
Just as she had finally calmed down, her phone suddenly rang.
The phone volume was turned up very high, making it deafening in the otherwise quiet room.
Qiao Zhen was startled again, and her phone slipped from her grasp and fell to the ground.
"What, are you scared of something so little?"
Lu Zheng's voice suddenly rang out from above.
Qiao Zhen felt her hair stand on end and her blood freeze. She stood there dumbfounded, not daring to turn her head to look at Lu Zheng.
Turn your head and look at me.
Lu Zheng then spoke in a commanding tone.
Qiao Zhen was so frightened that she trembled slightly. She bit her lip tightly to keep herself from making a sound.
Lu Zheng, however, lost his patience and turned Qiao Zhen around abruptly.
"What, looking back at your past crimes, do you feel proud?"
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen was completely confused, but due to the panic of being discovered, her lips trembled and she couldn't speak.
"You're scared already, huh?"
Lu Zheng appeared extremely pleased, pinching Qiao Zhen's chin with one hand and pounding on her dignity with a mocking tone.
"I wasn't afraid when I was little, so why am I afraid now that I'm grown up?"
Lu Zheng said with a sneer, "If I were still as weak as I was when I was a child, you probably wouldn't remember who I am anymore."
At this point, he suddenly became agitated and asked Qiao Zhen again, "Is that right? Answer my question!"
Qiao Zhen was speechless at his words. She took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "I don't remember..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng paused, instantly freezing in place. Because it was dark, Qiao Zhen couldn't see Lu Zheng's expression.
"Okay, very good."
Lu Zheng gritted his teeth and spoke, but the smile in his voice was tinged with hatred.
"You're really great, Qiao Zhen."
Before Qiao Zhen could react, Lu Zheng immediately picked her up and placed her on the writing desk, then pushed her down.
"Stop right now!"
The cold table jolted Qiao Zhen's nerves, causing her to shudder. She kicked her legs wildly, struggling to escape.
Lu Zheng's cold laugh was particularly noticeable in the darkness, and Qiao Zhen couldn't help but tremble.
"It's too late, Qiao Zhen."
Lu Zheng ripped her clothes to shreds in no time. Qiao Zhen hugged herself tightly and backed away helplessly, only to bump into the window.
"Come closer, it's cold by the window."
Lu Zheng pulled Qiao Zhen into his arms, his warm breath spraying onto her face, making her feel a little itchy.
Seeing the man about to make his next move, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"I can't remember anything from back then..."
Qiao Zhen tried to argue: "I don't know if you've misunderstood something, but I can guarantee I'm not that kind of person."
"What kind of person?"
Lu Zheng suddenly asked.
"It's like, the kind where they hit you..."
Before Qiao Zhen could finish speaking, Lu Zheng suddenly interrupted her: "Shut up!"
These words seemed to have touched a nerve with Lu Zheng, and his movements suddenly became quick and deep, causing Qiao Zhen to cry out involuntarily.
Lu Zheng stared at the woman beneath him, and with the faint light from outside, he could vaguely make out Qiao Zhen's appearance.
The more Qiao Zhen acted this way, the less he could control himself.
Lu Zheng clearly realized that his heart was about to fall for her.

When Qiao Zhen opened her eyes again, she found herself in the bedroom without even realizing it.
Qiao Zhen blinked, even wondering if yesterday's events were just a dream.
As soon as she got up, a wave of soreness washed over her, and she grimaced for a while before accepting the reality of what happened last night.
It seems everything is true; Lu Zheng was indeed bullied at school during his student days.
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but sigh, but she was at a loss because she couldn't remember all the details from back then.
Then she suddenly remembered that Gu Xijue and he were on the same team.
In that case, does he also know something about what happened back then?
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhen disregarded her aches and pains and jumped up.
After meeting Gu Xijue, Qiao Zhen went out.
At least on this point, Qiao Zhen was somewhat relieved.
No matter how many misunderstandings Lu Zheng had with Qiao Qiao, he never restricted Qiao Qiao's personal freedom.
The two met shortly afterward.
Seeing Qiao Zhen's exhaustion, Gu Xijue touched her face tenderly and asked.
"What happened to you last night? Why were you so tired?"
"No..." Qiao Zhen answered somewhat guiltily, but the scene between her and Lu Zheng last night involuntarily flashed through her mind.
Gu Xijue nodded: "Alright then, what did you want to talk to me about today?"
"It's just..." Qiao Zhen hesitated, unsure how to bring it up.
"It's alright, feel free to share your thoughts."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen asked, "Gu Xijue, was Lu Zheng also at our school back then?"
