"Then, one time, they chased me so much that I ran all the way to the top of a tall building, and then..."
Some familiar fears surfaced, and Hua Changle trembled without even acting:
"They pushed me down..."
Kazmir's expression changed slightly when he saw the fear in the boy's eyes.
Hua Changle sighed softly to himself.
This isn't entirely made up; the boy whose identity she replaced really did fall to his death after experiencing bullying.
He wasn't pushed off; he was forced onto the rooftop, and unable to bear the humiliation, he jumped off himself.
Later, with the help of Hua Anning and the district's influence in the Eighth District, they fabricated the story that Ajiu was not dead, was rescued, and came here.
But the truth is—
The boy who suffered ostracism and bullying since childhood because of his unusual superpowers did not survive the darkest moment.
He also failed to reach the "ideal land" he desired for revenge.
"If it's not a good thing, then let's not talk about it anymore."
Kazmir said, "How about we talk about something else, like, what does A-Jiu like?"
Hua Changle paused for a moment, then a thought flashed through her mind, and she remembered something that she and Kazmir both liked:
"I quite like dancing."
Kazmir's eyes lit up, showing great interest in the topic: "Oh? What kind of dance can you do?"
Hua Changle smiled awkwardly: "I learned a few poses from a classical dance teacher at school, but I can't actually dance them. I just feel... that dancing is very liberating."
"Dance is the most expressive art in the world." Kazmir's love for dance comes from the bottom of his heart.
"Sir, you're a very good dancer, aren't you?"
“Of course.” Kazmir crossed his arms and leaned back, his posture haughty.
"Twenty years ago, in Beisha, there were few people who were better than me!"
"Wow! That's amazing!" Hua Changle exclaimed sincerely.
Twenty years ago, Kazemir would have been in his early twenties at most, and judging from what he said, he was at least a pillar of the dance troupe. Wasn't that incredibly talented?
"What kind of dance does the gentleman perform?"
"Ballet".
Hua Changle could not hide his shock.
This guy looks so arrogant and cold, yet he's a ballet dancer!
"Then why didn't you jump?"
Kazmir's smile faded: "Heh, it's just... there's an old man in the family who urgently needs a puppet successor."
————————
I went on a bit long-winded, explaining some of Kazmir's backstory.
Although it's a bit drawn out, I think we should still take the character development seriously; Kazmir is the character with the most screen time in this part.
Each character in the deification movement has a certain backstory.
It's just a matter of length and pacing, which I won't go into detail about; you can use your imagination to fill in the gaps.
