Chapter 2, The Blind Man

She nodded twice but did not respond to Jiang Ren's words. He hung the helmet on the front of the bike and smiled slightly: "Top student, let me give you a ride home. No charge, just caring for the disabled."

"Not cooked." he said

The eyes beneath Jiang Ren's helmet scanned over

Fang Tan raised an eyebrow: "Still a mute, huh?"

Meng Ting could not help but raise her gaze towards the electronic screen at her school

Fine, if I don't eat, then I won't eat

He Junming said in surprise, "A blind person? Still wearing the uniform of the Seventh Middle School"

She gritted her teeth, on one hand thinking that compared to Meng Ting, Shen Yuqing was nothing; on the other hand, she felt relieved that Jiang Ren did not know the Meng Ting of the past

The frustration in my heart could not help but be directed at Meng Ting; if it were not for her playing the wrong notes on the piano...

She will certainly not allow him to encounter any more troubles, ensuring that he can enjoy a peaceful old age for the rest of his life

Fang Tan and his companions were left speechless. He Junming couldn't help but whisper, "Why is Ren Ge bullying others"

However, that year Meng Ting was reluctant to eat and gave it to her sister Shulan

Meng Ting slowly shook his head, not bothering to argue with him

Meng Ting raised her eyes and blinked uncomfortably. Upon seeing his direction, she handed over the box.

Meng Ting's heart tightened, not knowing how she would encounter him here, so she simply remained stiff and silent

Why are you standing so far away? Bring it over here, or do you expect me to help you

Jiang Ren chewed gum as she stumbled along, appearing quite awkward and pitiable. It seemed that this girl from the seventh grade was not familiar with the layout of their vocational high school, gradually disappearing from their sight

Shen Yuqing is the school belle of the neighboring No. 7 High School, currently in her second year of high school

He Junming soon stopped paying attention to it and recalled something, smiling ambiguously: "Do you remember the girl who just played the piano? She came over openly and said she wanted to be friends."

Jiang Ren flicked open the transparent strawberry box with his thumb, not caring whether it had been washed or not, and popped a berry into his mouth

Jiang Ren recalled the fleeting glimpse on stage: "Alright, let her come over"

Jiang Ren raised her leg and said: "Have you seen my test results? Do you understand what irritability is?"

Her eyes stung, yet she refused to blink or close them.

Unexpectedly sweet

Shulan had not yet had the chance to respond when Jiang Ren lit a cigarette: "Is smoking and fighting considered excellent? Or is killing and arson considered excellent? Or is it excellent to have beaten the teacher into the hospital a couple of days ago?"

Both deaf and mute, truly pitiable

The text scrolls out: Today's date is ---- October 11, 20xx, 19:03, Thursday

Thus, after observing for a long time, from the first year to the second year of high school, the classmates all believed that even if Meng Ting's eyes were to recover, she would still look like this on her student ID.

Two high schools are adjacent to each other; on the left is the National No. 7 High School, which is filled with excellent students who achieve good grades, while on the right is Licai, a private vocational high school that suffers from chaotic management but is attended by many wealthy individuals. It is a paradise for the children of the affluent.

He Junming and Fang Tan stopped right after.

Shulan does not know where to find this information; she only knows that Jiang Ren has a bad temper, but she did not expect that he was ill. Her expression changed repeatedly, and finally she said firmly: "I don't care!"

Jiang Ren took out a lighter from his pocket and fiddled with it

He Junming couldn't help but sarcastically ask her: "Are you really blind, a top student from No. 7 High School?"

The boy on the sofa in the living room heard a sound and turned his head, saw Meng Ting, and then coldly turned away to watch the game.

She put down her backpack, recalled the matter of Shulan, and said softly: "Shulan mentioned that she is eating out; she has a celebration dinner tonight"

Jiang Ren stepped onto the vehicle with one long leg, without even wearing a helmet. Could she really place the strawberry accurately on his vehicle, or is she just pretending to be blind?

That year, the PS was far from exquisite compared to a few years later; these eyes were lifeless, the colors mismatched, and particularly disharmonious. Meng Ting was startled by her own reflection.

He Junming and the others were all astonished, both humiliated and robbed of her belongings, yet she remained unfazed and never displayed anger, her temperament so remarkably good that it seemed unbelievable. She exuded a completely different aura from them

The flames danced before his eyes, and he looked at her, the sunglasses covering most of her face. She tightly gripped the blind person's cane, displaying a somewhat helpless frailty, as she was tense.

It is rumored that Jiang Ren is currently in a relationship, yet many people do not believe it. Moreover, even if it were true, how often does the world see new people replacing the old ones?

Shulan was humiliated and driven out, yet she was aware that Jiang Ren was difficult to provoke and did not dare to speak up

She placed the box at the front of his car and then stepped back away from it

Meng Ting's fingers trembled slightly, and at first, she did not move

Meng remembered Jiang Ren from that year

Then the front of the car turned and came to a stop in front of Meng Ting. Meng Ting couldn't help but take a step back

Meng Ting carefully placed it in her backpack without any disdain. She simply felt a bit nostalgic for her teachers and classmates

It is quite difficult to buy strawberries in this season; this is a small box of nutrient solution greenhouse strawberries that Father Shu painstakingly obtained from the laboratory. He asked Meng Ting to take it to school to eat when she gets hungry.

Meng Ting did not want to provoke him and only hoped that he would leave quickly. Therefore, she obediently opened her backpack for him to see. In fact, she had also forgotten what might be in the backpack.

Jiang Ren parked the vehicle steadily and removed his helmet

In order to take care of her eyes, Meng Ting's bedroom is very dimly lit. This photo was taken when she first entered high school; at that time, Meng Ting's eyes were repeatedly infected and she could not be exposed to any strong light. Therefore, the teacher had her cover her eyes with a white cloth for a photo, and then someone helped her edit in a pair of eyes.

The zipper is opened, revealing a physics book and an English book inside

Shu Lan walked over with bright eyes, and upon seeing Jiang Ren, her face flushed instantly: "Classmate Jiang Ren."

a pencil case, as well as a glasses case and a coin purse

Does it feel rewarding to bully a blind person? And they are also a little mute

The renowned Professor Zhang Hong will be giving a lecture. Students are welcome to attend. Location ... ...

However, Meng Ting was well aware that having just encountered Jiang Ren meant that Shu Lan had still failed

He Junming shrugged and said, "Is it appropriate for you to say that when someone is looking for you, Ren Ge?"

Meng Ting walked out of Licai Vocational High School, and the nearby No. 7 Middle School had already dismissed its students

Jiang Ren lowered his gaze to look at her

Regardless of past or present, Jiang Ren has never been particularly fond of Shu Lan. This can be considered a clever twist of fate

Never mind, it's okay, don't provoke him. Her fair hand extended the strawberry box.

Meng Ting has been a focus of attention since childhood. Shulan still remembers the first time she saw ten-year-old Meng Ting, that unforgettable sense of stunning delicacy. Beautiful and pure, she was born to evoke feelings of inferiority in others.

Before going to bed at night, she touched her backpack and saw her amusing student ID photo

Bring the strawberries

Shu Baba is Meng Ting's stepfather, named Shu Zhitong. After Meng Ting and her mother were in a car accident, her mother passed away, and Meng Ting sustained an eye injury. Shu Baba raised three children on his own, yet he never considered abandoning Meng Ting; instead, he treated her as his own.

Finally, there is one box of small strawberries

Shulan's complexion turned pale: "I believe there is a misunderstanding, you are not that kind of person"

Meng Tingla adjusted her backpack, silently grasped her cane, and boarded the bus. She walked at a steady pace, as if she had never encountered them, nor did she expose the passengers on the bus for their crime of "robbery".

... ...

Jiang Ren laughed out loud: "Why don't you tell me where the hell I am excellent?"

She waited for ten minutes, looking at each stop along the way. This is the road home, a path she had longed to return to countless times in her past life, and in this life, she has finally fulfilled her wish

That year, he got an ear piercing, adorned with a black diamond. His silver short hair was flamboyant and unruly; on others, it would be considered a punk style, but he was handsome. Jiang Ren had a strikingly heroic appearance, not the kind of pretty boy who would become popular years later, but rather one with a wild and rugged charm. He was truly a bad boy.

Fang Tan also suppressed a smile

It is a feeling that everyone yearns to touch and longs for, akin to a crystal gift

However, the car has not yet arrived, but in the distance, the piercing sound of off-road motorcycles can be heard. She tightly grips her cane, her eyelashes fluttering. A sense of ominous premonition stirs within her

He Junming almost burst out laughing, oh my gosh, hahaha, caring for the disabled! Should I help them cross the street

Meng Ting once felt very awkward in this family, so she made an effort to be sensible and obedient, taking care of her younger siblings who were two months younger than her. However, now she is immensely grateful to the heavens for giving her a chance to start over, an opportunity to repay Father Shu.

Shulan did not expect him to be so straightforward, her face turned red in an instant, her heart raced, and she felt somewhat excited. She restrained her reaction and maintained her elegant persona: "Jiang Ren, I just think you are very outstanding."

Meng Ting returned home, she fumbled in her coin purse for the key, trembling fingers unlocking the door. She could really go home again

"What is in the backpack? Take it out." Jiang Ren's gaze fell upon the back of her hand, which was as white as jade; the black blind cane seemed to have turned into a piece of ink jade.

However, in the kitchen, Father Shu, wearing an apron, quickly wiped his hands and came out with a gentle smile: "You’re back, listen, hurry and wash your hands, dinner is ready. Didn’t Xiao Lan come back with you? Didn’t you say you were going to watch her performance today?"

She knows who is more beautiful than Shen Yuqing, and that is Meng Ting. That kind of inherently stunning beauty has quietly dimmed its brilliance for several years due to an injury to her eyes

Jiang Ren did not even turn his head, throwing the box along with the strawberries into the trash can, hitting the target perfectly.

Meng Ting did not understand why they had stopped here, and after hearing this, he paused for a moment and gently nodded

... ...

A face with exquisite makeup, and she is quite good-looking as well. Jiang Ren glanced at Shu Lan and lazily spoke: "Do you like me?"

The white top hat was held in her hand

Seeing her deceased father Shufu again, Meng Ting could not help but feel her eyes welling up with tears

Meng Ting pursed her lips, her demeanor calm and quiet, and nodded slightly.

The motorcycle raced forward, slicing through the sound of the wind

It was not a dream; she had truly returned to five years ago. This was the year that marked a turning point in her brief life. Meng Ting was almost overwhelmed with the impulse to cry, but ultimately, as she gazed at the desolate campus after school, she tightened her grip on the strap of her backpack and walked towards the bus station

He Junming looked on enviously and couldn't help but say, "Brother Ren, could you share one with me?"

The cool breeze of October gently blows, and a large part of her fair face is obscured by sunglasses, making it hard to see her clearly. She leans closer, and he feels as if he can smell a faint floral fragrance.

The bus service home is infrequent, with a bus every half hour. Meng Ting took out her student transportation card from her bag and waited at the platform

Shu Lan and Shu Yang are fraternal twins born to their father, Shu Ba.

The bus will stop in the next second

Until the car drove far away

Those who have attended school are aware that the photography techniques taught there are quite frightening

Since their establishment, the people of No. 7 Middle School have looked down upon Li Cai for its lack of academic rigor and poor performance, while Li Cai has regarded No. 7 Middle School as a group of impoverished individuals who pride themselves on their supposed superiority

Jiang Ren lowered his head and looked at her for a while, his gaze passing over her long hair: "What brings you from Qizhong to our vocational high school?"

The wind tousled her hair, while Meng Ting tucked her hair behind her ear, and the bangs on her forehead were slightly disheveled

However, upon a moment's reflection, Shulan recalled that phrase which was even more beautiful than Shen Yuqing, and she was momentarily taken aback

Jiang Ren flicked the ash from his cigarette, his tone sarcastic: "Are you so short on money that you've come to this? But I do mind, you're too ugly. You should at least look like Shen Yuqing from the neighboring No. 7 Middle School. Didn't you notice I was messing with you earlier? Get lost"

Do you like it? Then go ahead and have some fun

She stands very straight, as it is autumn, wearing a thin knitted sweater inside and a loose school uniform with a school badge outside. Although her figure is not discernible, her exposed neck is slender and her skin is fair, giving off a delicate impression

He Junming whistled and exclaimed: "Ren Ge, that blind person we saw at school."

That year, the screen was always used to broadcast various promotional events, with red text scrolling across the black screen
