"There's a paradox here: it's completely rotten, yet we're still united. Those old, outdated ideas are really scary."
"My body was in pain, but the insult to my self-esteem from all the people watching was even more painful. They didn't seem to think children should have self-respect."
Gu Zhixing smiled and looked at Song Yiyi.
Song Yiyi had a complicated expression and blamed herself for her impulsive conversation just now.
"So, I studied hard just to leave home early, and I actually did it. I skipped several grades and was finally able to study abroad."
