Chapter 25: Xuanmu Yu

  When I was eighteen, on a snowy night in the winter of my third year of high school, I was surrounded by a group of girls and beaten up. I don't remember how many people there were, five or six.

  I only remember that at the time I was hit by them a total of 103 punches, my face and body were covered with large patches of bruises, I lay in the snow, didn't fight back, just bit my lip and let them beat me without making a sound.

  The girl who came first is our class monitor, a beautiful and well-born girl. She said she had been displeased with me for a long time, saying I was too arrogant, and that the boy she liked liked me, so she must teach me a lesson.

  They were exhausted and stopped their hands, panting heavily as they watched me coldly from the side.

  I suddenly rushed forward and pounced on the girl, pinning her to the snowy ground. I bit down hard on her hand, and the girls around us were shocked by my sudden movement. They tried to pull me away, but I held tight, biting down until my mouth was filled with blood, until the girl fainted from the pain.

  I'm used to being arrogant and domineering, I've always been the one bullying others, if someone wants to bully me, then I'll just return it a hundredfold.

  I must have looked fierce at that time, several girls were scared and ran away, I watched them coldly and even smiled.

  Just as all the girls had run away, Gu Chen suddenly appeared in front of me. I was lying on the snowy ground, and he looked down at me with that arrogant gaze. I clearly remember that Gu Chen was wearing a good-looking black leather jacket that night, with a gray scarf around his neck. It's strange, but I actually remembered it so clearly.

  "I like your eyes." At that time, Gu Chen was still in his voice change period, and his voice was very strange, but to me it sounded especially gentle.

  "If I had just been beaten to death by them, would you still come over?" I looked up at Gu Chen, a stubborn curve rising at the corner of my mouth.

  He lowered his head and body to be on a level with me and said: "Guess."

  I didn't say a word, I just felt that my whole body was in pain, so painful that I almost fainted.

  Gu Chen suddenly smiled and took out a small bottle from his bosom, shaking it in front of me. I looked at it carefully, and my face suddenly turned pale.

  That was the wish I wrote down at the coming-of-age ceremony not long ago. Xu Luokai said that doing so would make the wish come true, and I even buried it under the largest willow tree in school.

  How did it end up in Gu Chen's hands?

  I raised my hand wanting to grab it, but ended up with nothing, took a deep breath, and my eyes uncontrollably welled up - it really hurt too much.

  "So your wish at eighteen was to ride a merry-go-round at an amusement park." Gu Chen looked at me with a smile, his eyes holding a profound depth that I couldn't understand.

  I suddenly felt very embarrassed, I didn't know what Gu Chen wanted to do, he just stared at the small bottle in his hand, that was my only wish, the thing I most wanted to do.

  Because I've never been to an amusement park, Xu Lu Kai and the others have all sat on a merry-go-round, that feeling of flying up into the air is especially wonderful.

  Then, at some point, this became my greatest wish.

  "What a coincidence, sister." Gu Chen played with the small bottle, smiling at me with a radiant face. "Look, we actually have the same wish." In his other hand, another small bottle seemed to emit a faint glow in the snow, and at that moment, Gu Chen stood there smiling at me, but I clearly felt tears flowing from his eyes.
