Chapter 6: Memory

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At that time, more than a decade had passed since high school.

She had almost forgotten about Shi Tongyang when she heard the name from her old classmate, but she remembered someone called Shi Wangyue.

About six months later, she met Shi Tongyang’s cousin, Shi Wangyue.

It was a young man dressed completely in black with black sunglasses perched on his face. He was pushed into her office on a wheelchair by his assistant.

The young man was thin and bony. His skin was so pale that it was devoid of color. It was as if he had spent all day in a dark environment. However, his features were extremely good-looking. His nose was high, and the outline of his face was so fine that it was difficult to put into words.

He had medium long, wavy hair that ended at the side of his ears. It was a decadent and fragile sort of beauty.

His head was always hanging down—he didn’t like looking at people.

As there was a need for treatment, she had the honor of seeing his full face. She’d looked directly into his eyes. His eyes were upturned at the outer corners and his gaze was deep and bottomless.

For a moment, Youguang was completely absorbed in her memories, and had stopped paying attention to the brat beside her.

Seeing that his new classmate was ignoring him, Shi Tongyang got angry. He reached out and knocked away the spoon in her hand and grabbed her fair wrist.

“You’re not allowed to sit here and eat. You’re not allowed to sit with him.”

The little boy was brash and had exerted quite a bit of strength. Youguang was caught by surprise and fell to the ground.

Teacher Luo quickly helped Little Youguang up. Another teacher, who was tending to other students nearby, came over and held onto Shi Tongyang’s hand in case he tried to do anything else.

“Shi Tongyang, it’s wrong of you to treat your new classmate like this, understand?”

“I don’t care. I don’t want Ning Youguang to sit here.”

Teacher Luo felt relieved that the new girl was not crying. She then went on to check if the girl was hurt. What a headache. Shi Tongyang, the rash little boy, had caused some red marks on his classmate’s wrists.

“Does it hurt? I’ll blow on it for you.”

“It hurts, but it’s nothing serious.”

This injury, which was not really an injury, meant nothing to Youguang.

She didn’t wish to exaggerate. Not that she had any prejudice against Shi Tongyang or hoped for him to be punished.

It was only because she only felt pain when violence was inflicted on her. And the teachers and other children should regard Shi Tongyang’s violent actions as a serious matter. This would act as a warning against future incidents.

Otherwise, if she, the victim, didn’t take it seriously, the other students would take it lightly too.

Five-year-olds were old enough to know what to do and what not to do.

“Does it hurt a lot? Can the teacher take you to the infirmary?”

“No, Teacher. It hurts quite a bit, but I don’t want to see a doctor. I need a new spoon right now, if it’s okay.” Youguang shook her head.

“Are you sure you don’t want to go to the infirmary?” Teacher Luo was a little worried about not taking the child to the doctor. It would be difficult to explain to the child’s parents later.

“No, I’m hungry. I want to eat.”

“Alright, let’s eat first. If it still hurts later, you have to tell me. I’ll take you to the doctor, okay?”

Turning around, Teacher Luo said solemnly to Shi Tongyang,

“Student Shi Tongyang, it’s her freedom to choose who she wants to be deskmate with. It has nothing to do with you. You just knocked away Student Ning Youguang’s spoon and even dragged her to the ground. Do you think this behavior is likable?”

“No we don’t like it,” a few children answered in unison.

Shi Tongyang pouted with indignance and turned his head away.

“Shi Tongyang, you hurt classmate Youguang. You need to apologize to her.”

“I won’t!” Shi Tongyang shouted.

“The students won’t like you for such behavior.” Teacher Wang explained to him.

“They wouldn’t dare to dislike me.” The defiant boy glared at his classmates fiercely.

Many of the students whom he made eye contact with looked afraid. It was obvious that they had been bullied by him.

Seeing this, Ning Youguang said at the opportune moment,

“I don’t make friends with classmates who are rude to me. And I don’t like kids who hit people.”

“Hmph, I didn’t hit you. I wasn’t rude.” The little brat crossed his arms and said confidently.

“You don’t think it was rude to hit me, do you?” Youguang said indifferently. “Then I don’t want to be your friend either. I don’t like being treated like this.”

Then she lowered her head and ate quietly, never looking at the brat again.

The new student’s calmness surprised everyone. Naturally, it also went against the brat’s expectations.

For a moment, Shi Tongyang did not know what to do. He could only stand rooted to the ground.

Teacher Luo and Teacher Wang looked at each other in surprise. Then, they turned to look at the little girl who was eating with her head lowered. Their eyes lit up as if they had discovered a treasure.

This Little Miss Ning was too smart!

Having been bullied on just her first day of school, not only was she not afraid, she could even respond with such clear reasoning.

No matter how shocked the teachers were, they still had to maintain order in the class.

Teacher Wang coaxed Shi Tongyang to return to his seat. Teacher Luo continued with tending to those who were eating.

After everyone was in position, Ning Youguang turned to her new deskmate and said, “Thank you for holding on to me just now.”

She remembered a small hand quickly grabbing her shirt when Shi Tongyang had yanked her to the ground.

Shi Wangyue heard what his new deskmate said and understood what she meant.

Actually, he did not quite understand why his new classmate would still want to sit with him after listening to their classmates and Shi Tongyang.

Did she know that if she sat with him, she would be bullied by Shi Tongyang and would have no friends?

However, he could not help but think silently that this classmate called Ning Youguang was different from him. She was not afraid of Shi Tongyang at all and was also very popular among their classmates.

So many children were all vying to sit with her earlier.
