Chapter 3, ambushed by others

I hurriedly said that I hadn't touched it. The homeroom teacher didn't believe me and said: "Alright, alright, you can go back now. The final exams are coming up soon, and you might not even be in the same class next year in the second year of junior high. Meeting each other is a kind of fate, isn't it? For the next month, be good and don't cause any more trouble with her."

This plan was inspired by a videotape I had seen before. The tape was in color, featuring a male lead and a female lead who were enemies. The male lead tied the female lead to a mountain and then used a beer bottle to insert it beneath her. At first, when I watched this, I found it extremely disgusting and somewhat perverse. However, as I continued watching, I surprisingly felt a sense of satisfaction. I thought to myself, this is truly a kind of illness

Upon returning home, my father was particularly concerned about this matter, as I often came back with injuries during this period. He asked me if someone at school was bullying me, and he was ready to go to the school to check on it tomorrow

The homeroom teacher adjusted her glasses and said: "Leizhen, the teacher understands that during your adolescent years, there are impulses towards the opposite sex, but you cannot behave this way. How can you be so precocious?"

Apart from them, I could see no one else. I was still wondering, could it be that Jingjie is not going to trouble me today?

At first, she glared at me a few times, perhaps thinking that if she stared at me, I would turn away. However, I deliberately continued to look at her, which made her feel a bit embarrassed. She simply crossed her arms tightly. But maintaining that position was tiring for her, and since I was on her right side, she had to use her right hand to write. This gave me my opportunity. Before long, she couldn't hold it in any longer, even during class, and stormed out.

I suspected that Jiejie would find someone to beat me up, but I did not expect her to hire a thug from the streets to do it, and to be so ruthless. By the time I stood up, my legs were in pain, and I could only walk with a limp.

If I were bullied by a man, I would definitely tell my dad. However, regarding a pair of sunglasses, I think it's better to let it go; otherwise, my dad would think I am not ambitious. Moreover, I already have a revenge plan in mind, which is somewhat twisted. I don't want my dad to know that I have psychological issues.

I was already feeling quite depressed at this time and needed a place to vent. His remark provided me with the perfect opportunity, so I quickly retorted, "Do you really need to meddle in my affairs?"

Then my mother walked over with a smile, holding an envelope in her hand, which was probably filled with money

My mother, seeing me like this, quickly told that man to be quiet. I thought to myself that this man has caused my family to end up like this, and when I become strong one day, I will make him pay.

In fact, I also anticipated that she would go to find the teacher, probably wanting to change seats, as she no longer wishes to sit with me

At that fall, Jie's sunglasses covered her mouth as she laughed, and several girls in the class were also laughing. When I looked at them, they all stopped laughing.

The weather on that day was still very hot. During the afternoon class, Jie's sunglasses were on as she arrived wearing a tank top. From the gaps on both sides, I could still see her small yet firm chest. Previously, when I hadn't been teasing her so much, I would sneak glances, and if she caught me, I would quickly turn my head away. But now that we had reached this level of teasing, I no longer cared and openly stared at her.

At that time, there was a Volkswagen Santana parked at the school gate. In 1999, those who could afford to drive a sedan were all very wealthy individuals

I said it was unnecessary, and she snorted, saying that good intentions are often met with ingratitude, do as you please. With that, she walked away

To be honest, I was really short on money at that time. I hadn't thought much about hetushu.com before, but ever since I sat at the same table as Jingjie, and she mocked me so many times, my desire for money gradually intensified. However, I truly cannot accept my mother's money, because I know that her money all comes from that man.

It was at this moment that I saw Mo Jingjie pushing her women's bicycle and riding away. Only then did I feel relieved, as it seemed I could honestly return home today

After the homeroom teacher finished speaking, the male teacher beside him turned to glance at me and then smiled, saying: "As spring arrives and flowers bloom, it is quite normal for one's spirit to be stirred. I have also gone through that age, so it’s nothing to worry about, Teacher Li"

I still haven't returned home, and I already feel like my left eye is almost gone, squeezed by my swollen face, making it hard to see. As soon as I entered the house, Liu Hui saw me and exclaimed, anxiously asking what happened and how I got beaten up like this. She insisted on taking me to the hospital. I initially didn't want to go, but after looking in the mirror, I realized my face was so swollen that I was genuinely worried something might be wrong, so I had no choice but to go with her. On the way, she kept asking me why I was always getting into fights and being so irresponsible with my body. While scolding me, I even saw her crying. I don't know why, but seeing her like that made me feel quite upset. I thought that perhaps it was the maternal love I had been missing all these years that I suddenly felt again at that moment. I realized that there are still people who care about me.

I understand that further explanation is of little use, so I will simply acknowledge that I understand

I went to the hospital, the doctor prescribed me medication, and after receiving an IV drip, I returned home. On the way, Liu Hui kept asking me if I was hungry and told me to let her know what I wanted to eat

There was a hint of mockery in her tone, and I directly replied impatiently, "Get lost, hetushu.com, who are you to meddle in my affairs"

However, what I did not expect was that an incident occurred just about ten meters away from the intersection on the west side of the school.

Upon hearing the homeroom teacher's words, I was immediately taken aback, secretly thinking that this Sunglasses Jie was actually talking nonsense

At that moment, I made up my mind that I would do whatever it takes to take down Mo Jingru, and no one could stop me

My mother called out to Lei Lei and then said: When I bought you clothes, I was worried they wouldn't fit, but now it seems quite suitable

In that fleeting moment of impulse, I wanted to embrace her

Since I couldn't think of a way to deal with her at the moment, I thought I would come up with a good plan when I got home in the evening. In the afternoon, when school was over, I had a premonition that Jingjie would find someone to confront me again. However, when I reached the school gate, there was indeed a small group of people gathered, but they were all from our school's third year. They had also attacked me before, but I felt that they wouldn't be the ones to cause me trouble today, because Jingjie knew that these people couldn't intimidate me at all.

I could have figured it out with my toes; this was done by the sunglasses cleaner. At that moment, I cursed, "Damn you." This person ignored me. If she had dared to respond, I would have definitely dealt with her, but she played it smart and didn't provoke me. I had no choice but to swallow my anger and thought to myself that I needed to find a way to make her submit; otherwise, she would keep causing me trouble, which was truly annoying.

I was walking along just fine when suddenly I heard the sound of someone running behind me. When I turned around, I saw three men in their twenties charging at me with wooden sticks in their hands, raising them to strike me. I wanted to run, but one of them immediately grabbed me. They didn't even give me a chance to fight back. One person struck me directly in the face with a wooden stick, and I felt a wave of dizziness; my body went limp, and I fell to the ground. Almost immediately, I felt pain in many parts of my body, but it lasted for less than a minute before those men rode away on their motorcycles. A parent passing by, who was picking up their child, helped me up. My nose was bleeding, and I was covered in red. A kind lady gave me her handkerchief to wipe myself, but at that time, hardly anyone had a mobile phone, so no one called the police or anything.

The homeroom teacher said that while there may be disturbances, he cannot touch the girls inappropriately.

My mother gave a wry smile, shoved the envelope into my hand, and said: Take this to buy something to eat

As I hurried to my seat, I noticed a classmate not far away, persistently signaling to me and pointing at his own chair. At that moment, I didn't quite understand what was happening. When I finally reached my seat and sat down, I realized I had been tricked; the legs of my chair were loose, and as soon as I sat down, I fell directly to the ground

In the first few years after my parents' divorce, my mother came to see me a few times, but my father later did not allow me to meet her, and she rarely reached out to me. I remember the last time she contacted me was when I was in the fifth grade of elementary school

As I was about to reach the front of the car, the door opened. To my surprise, the person who emerged was my mother, and in the driver's seat, there was a man—my mother's current partner.

When I returned to the classroom, Mo Jingjie was there, flaunting and shaking her head. I felt that I had to do something about her.

When I reached the intersection near my home, I unexpectedly ran into someone. It was the girl in a skirt who first spoke to me when a group of women wearing sunglasses came to confront me. She had just come out of the Supply and Marketing Building and, upon seeing me, exclaimed in surprise: "Oh, it's you! Who have you gotten into trouble with this time? How did you end up like this? Your face is all swollen like a loaf of bread!"

When I arrived at the office, besides our homeroom teacher, there was also a male teacher, who was from another class and the librarian.

As for the sunglasses girl, she might feel that they won yesterday, and at this moment, she is looking at me with a smug expression. I really want to get rid of her.

As soon as I walked into the classroom, a chorus of gasps erupted from my classmates. Their reaction was not due to my new clothes, but rather the scratches on my face and neck. Liu Hui mentioned yesterday that these scratches are not deep and will heal in a few days, without affecting my appearance.

It was not until the next day when I arrived at the school gate that I understood what was going on with my clothes and the food I had.

Although I do not have deep feelings for her now, she is still my biological mother, and seeing her evokes quite a complex mix of emotions within me

It was only after I heard this that I understood the clothes my dad gave me yesterday were bought by her. For some reason, I suddenly felt a bit regretful about wearing new clothes to school.

I said no, but she insisted and forced it on me. I simply swatted it away with my hand, causing the envelope to fall and the money to scatter everywhere. My mother quickly bent down to pick it up, and the man from the car also got out, saying irritably: "What kind of child are you?"

She quickly took a couple of steps to catch up with me and said seriously: Are you okay? My mother works at the hospital; would you like me to take you to see her

When my dad came back tonight, he looked very happy. He even bought me a set of clothes and a bunch of delicious food, which surprised me a bit. After seeing the scratches on my body, he merely reminded me: don't always get into fights in the future, it's quite unambitious

After a few minutes, she returned, a mysterious smile on her face. She walked up to me, deliberately slapped my desk with her hand, making a clapping sound, and then said: "Classmate Lei Zhen, the homeroom teacher is calling for you."

She came over wanting to wrap her arms around my neck, probably intending to hug me. I quickly broke free and said, "Is there something you need? If not, I am going to class."
