Chapter 23 - Flashback: Their First Meeting (2)

Yu Yan was stunned. This sentence…

At that moment, she could faintly recall the first week, the matriculation week, when she came to High School back then.

…

*11 years ago, Wei Xia High School in Capital City*

The fifteen years old Yu Yan had only started entering the high school and felt nervous. She actually didn't want to head to the capital city, but her grandfather told her that she would learn much more if she learned in the school in the capital city than in City A.

Even if she didn't want to, she had to listen to her grandfather. He was the sole person in her family who would treat her kindly and taught her so many things, so obviously, she didn't want to disappoint him.

She was a quiet child at that time as she was not sure how she should get along with all these new people.

"Class dismissed!"

The students were still sitting wherever they wanted because the study hadn't started yet. They would only have their seat arrangement next week.

'I'm hungry.'

The young Yu Yan rubbed her stomach with bitter smile. She knew that her family would not send chauffeur to pick her up because they were too busy with her younger sister, who was in a more prestigious school than her because of her result.

She only wanted to visit the stall at the side of the school when she heard the sound of something breaking. Her heart seemed to drop to the bottom places as she stood still in her place, feeling afraid. At that time, she was nothing more than a fifteen years old girl who didn't know much of the world yet.

"Hey, what's a blind boy like you doing in our school?"

"Yes! You shouldn't have come here at all!"

Blind boy?

Yu Yan was afraid but her curiosity was also piqued up. The voice seemed to come just at her right side. After a few second of hesitation, she slowly walked there and saw several students with one of them sat on the ground with his uniform stained in blood.

The boy was small for someone at 15 years old. He was wearing a pair of black glasses that didn't seem to suit him at all, which might be the reason why they called him as blind.

His hair was messy as he crouched on the ground. From this side, the young Yu Yan couldn't see his expression clearly.

"That's none of your business," the boy spat out coldly.

"Heh, you dare to talk back?"

"You're just a blind boy!" the second boy moved forward and kicked the small boy, who curled up in response.

"Yes! Why do you have to come here and disturb us? You ugly thing!"

The small boy was holding his fist tight as his eyes flashed dangerous. If not for the promise he made to his father before he came here, he would have beaten them all up. But…

"STOP IT!"

The boy on the ground, the young Long Ying, was stunned when he saw a small back in front of him. The long hair that swayed due to her running here told him that the person before him was a young girl.

The boys were also stunned. They might be hooligan, but they were also hesitant of hitting a girl. "Move girl!"

"Don't get involved!"

"Just be a good girl and leave."

The young Yu Yan was actually trembling in fear, but she still forced herself to look at the boys in front of her. "Bullying is wrong! You're not going to solve any problem by beating him! If you have problem with him attending the school, you should have directed your protest to the school and not to him."

The first boy, the one with the largest built, looked at the young Yu Yan and furrowed his brows. "What do you even know…?"

"I only know that you're only going to hurt other people by bullying and that it's not the way to solve problem. You can vent your anger to him by hitting him but have you ever thought what it would be if you're in his position?" the young Yu Yan continued, using the same words as what her grandfather once lectured her cousins back then.

"You insolent…"

"Just beat her up along with the boy!" the first friend was annoyed. He didn't have any care for the fairer gender and naturally didn't have any qualms for beating a girl.
