Chapter 20: First Kiss Stolen

  My high fever wouldn't subside, my whole body felt like it was on fire, and I cried more and more miserably.

  I rarely get sick, and as far as I can remember, I only had a headache and fever once in the fourth grade of elementary school. That time, I was on an IV drip for three whole days, and the pain made me cry so hard that I thought I was going to die. My parents stayed by my side the whole time, and whenever they saw me crying too hard, my mom would start tearing up too, while my dad would hold back his tears, stubbornly refusing to let them fall.

  My parents rushed to school overnight, and the teachers saw that my fever was not retreating and urgently called to inform my father and mother.

  As soon as I saw my mother, I rushed into her arms and cried.

  She hugged me and kept calling out my name.

  Dad's big hand wiped away my tears.

  I know I'm wronging them, I don't want to be like this, but I couldn't control that rebellious heart of mine. If there's anyone to blame, it's because I was too obedient in the past.

  Although I got sick and saw some impurities in the world that didn't belong to me, I still don't regret it.

  My parents came to pick me up the next day because they had to go to work. They asked for leave from the teachers, saying that I would come back to school after I got better. The teachers all breathed a sigh of relief - who dared to keep a student with a fever of 39 degrees that wouldn't subside in school? In case something happened, the school would still be responsible.

  This is good, at least I can avoid Lin Rongxuan that rascal for these few days.

  To be honest, I don't really dislike him. He was the one who led me to take the first step towards a rebellious success. If it wasn't for him taking me to that bar and showing me such a messy side, I should be grateful to him.

  I don't dislike him, but I'm afraid of him. This seems contradictory. For the past few nights, I've been having dreams where he transforms into a big grey wolf and devours me with one bite.

  Woke up from a nightmare, drenched in sweat all over, and the high fever was even more severe.

  I think that after I left him and directly lost contact with him, he must have been furious. Who knows, when I go back to school, he might heavily punish me, or even hand me over to Xing Ge to play with.

  Just thinking of Xing Ge's disgusting and lustful appearance makes my head ache so much it feels like it's about to explode.

  I had a high fever on and off for an entire week before I fully recovered.

  He has lost a lot of weight.

  Mom cried and hugged me, "Poor child, new environment must be unaccustomed."

  "Dad frowned, 'How about we don't go to Holy Domain and just attend an ordinary high school in the city instead?'"

  I shook my head, "Except for the Holy Land, I don't want to go anywhere else."

  I rested for another two days. My parents worked hard every day to supplement my nutrition, and only when they saw that I had recovered and was no longer having a fever did they agree to send me back to school.
