Chapter 240: 240: Don't Leave After School (1)
“Did you hear that, or are you daydreaming?”
“Xu Chuzheng, are you deaf!!”
As soon as Chuzheng opened her eyes, she saw four girls dressed in school uniforms that were askew, their skirts altered to be ridiculously short, essentially screaming ‘I’m the queen bee of this society.’
She sat on the ground, feeling a burning sensation on her knees and palms.
She must have been pushed to the ground, scraping herself in the process.
This was clearly a case of school bullying.
Unfortunately, I was the one being bullied.
Really… how thrilling!
Chuzheng quickly assessed her situation and got up with a stoic expression.
Her knee was also wounded, bleeding, and seemed to be the most severe injury of all.
the voice from King’s Account chimed in just in time.
Chuzheng: “…”
Chuzheng glanced at them and turned to leave.
“Xu Chuzheng, hurry up.”
“Look at her go, hahaha, did you guys get that on video?”
“I can’t stop laughing…”
The enthusiastic discussion continued intermittently behind her as Chuzheng glanced at the wounds in the palm of her hand, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
–
The original owner of the body was named Xu Chuzheng.
In the Xu family, where males were valued over females, they nearly discarded her upon discovering that their newborn was a girl.
Although they ultimately didn’t abandon her,
Father Xu and Mother Xu couldn’t care less about her.
When she was still an infant, she nearly died from a high fever.
It was only after a relative intervened, unable to ignore her suffering, that she was taken to see a doctor.
Her life was saved, but the high fever caused Xu Chuzheng to be somewhat slow to react.
She wasn’t stupid, just sluggish, with reactions much slower than average.
When Chuzheng was three years old,
Mother Xu became pregnant again and, finally getting her wish, gave birth to a boy named Xu Shenghui.
From that moment on, Chuzheng’s life became even harder.
Whenever Xu Shenghui cried and Mother Xu found Chuzheng nearby, she’d blame Chuzheng, and all the good things belonged to Xu Shenghui, even if he didn’t need them…
Being beaten and scolded became the norm.
When it was time for school, Father Xu and Mother Xu had no plans to send her.
Eventually, it might have been some relative’s advice that convinced them, and Chuzheng was allowed to attend school.
Other kids had parents to pick them up after school, but Xu Chuzheng had been on her own since kindergarten.
Parents tend to raise children that mirror their own character.
Under the influence and example of Father Xu and Mother Xu, Xu Shenghui also began to bully her.
Xu Chuzheng somehow managed to make it through to middle school in such an environment.
In middle school, Xu Shenghui got into a fight in primary school and injured another child.
Chuzheng happened to be with Xu Shenghui at the time, but without a second thought, her parents pushed her forward to take the blame for Xu Shenghui.
To avoid compensation, Father Xu and Mother Xu even said they should just kick her to death to even the score.
The other child’s parents were furious and kicked her several times.
The onlookers realized that things were not right and quickly called the police.
In the end, Father Xu and Mother Xu still had to pay.
But the blame was placed on Chuzheng once again.
After this incident, every time Xu Shenghui did something wrong, he pushed the blame onto Chuzheng, and each time she was the one who got punished while Xu Shenghui gloated beside her.
Having graduated from middle school, Chuzheng entered high school at Dingyang Middle School.
There was little difference from her previous school; she was bullied as soon as she entered.
The worst bullies were the same girls from earlier.
Chuzheng had become accustomed to such bullying and aside from enduring it, she had no other way out.
In the second year of high school, a new student named Qin Feng transferred to the school.
Handsome and from a wealthy family, he became a notable figure as soon as he arrived.
Many girls at the school liked him.
Qin Feng once helped Chuzheng unintentionally, and with her youthful heart stirred, she found herself hopelessly falling for Qin Feng.
But it was precisely because of Qin Feng’s casual act that Xu Chuzheng was bullied even more severely.
However, not long after, Qin Feng suddenly came and confessed to her.
Xu Chuzheng, who was slow to react, didn’t realize what was happening until Qin Feng had already left.
A male student ran over and told her to go somewhere on the weekend, where Qin Feng would be waiting for her.
Xu Chuzheng hesitated for a long time, but still went on the weekend.
She waited there alone for a long time.
But Qin Feng never showed up.
The next day when she went to school, she heard that Qin Feng was together with Yu Yue.
Yu Yue was the school beauty and also the leader of the small group that bullied her.
Afterwards, when Yu Yue and Qin Feng went out, they would always take her along.
Qin Feng completely forgot who she was.
Yu Yue deliberately exposed the fact that the original host liked him in front of Qin Feng.
However, Qin Feng only showed a look of disgust.
It was only later that the original host learned that at the time, Qin Feng had lost a game, and someone casually pointed out a person for him to confess to.
Just by coincidence, that person happened to be her.
At that time, Qin Feng didn’t even know her and didn’t take the confession seriously at all.
Not long after, Yu Yue and Qin Feng were reported for underage romance.
The incident caused quite a stir, but because Qin Feng’s family was wealthy and powerful, and Yu Yue was not the type to study hard, the matter ended up being dismissed.
Yu Yue and Qin Feng remained a couple, very much in love.
On the other hand, the original host was identified by Yu Yue as the informant.
The bullying she faced constantly escalated.
She received no kindness at home and was bullied at school as well.
In the end, unable to bear it anymore, the original host jumped from the roof of the teaching building, ending her life that was as faint as the light of a firefly.
Chuzheng rubbed her temples.
What kind of Immortals’ plot was this?
The current timeline was still early, Qin Feng hadn’t confessed to her yet, and Yu Yue wasn’t together with Qin Feng.
But it would happen soon.
It was just a matter of this month.
Today was Wednesday, and this period was PE class.
The original host was dragged by Yu Yue’s group to a corner. After a round of shoving and bullying, they now sent her to buy milk tea.
…Milk tea, huh? I’ll treat you to your fill! Every flavor there is!
There was a milk tea shop in the school.
Chuzheng headed towards the milk tea shop.
Passing by the playground, she saw people playing basketball on the court.
Her classmates from the original host’s class were on another side.
There was also a group of senior students who probably didn’t plan on going to college, so they were idling their time away on the basketball court.
Chuzheng walked towards them.
A basketball flew across the sky, bounced on the ground, and rolled to a stop in front of Chuzheng.
“Hey, junior girl, throw the basketball here.”
Someone from that side called out to her and spread their hands, gesturing for Chuzheng to throw the ball.
The school uniforms for each grade were of different colors, and they could tell her grade by looking at her uniform.
Chuzheng bent over to pick up the basketball and walked over with it.
The people on the opposite side didn’t know what Chuzheng wanted to do, standing shoulder to shoulder, making faces at each other as they watched her.
“Junior girl, what’s up?”
The one who asked her to throw the ball was a boy with a height of 1.9 meters.
Standing in front of Chuzheng like a small mountain, he made Chuzheng look dainty and delicate.
Chuzheng passed the basketball to him.
The other party reached out to take it.
However, Chuzheng didn’t let go. The other side frowned, visibly getting annoyed.
“Need money?” Chuzheng asked calmly.
Here’s some money for you!
“Huh?” The boy thought he had misheard.
