Chapter 10: If I am strong, who dares to deceive me?

  Chapter 10I was strong, and who dared to deceive me? The feeling of being burned spread across my face immediately. My eyes were fixed on Lin Xin Yu at this moment, looking at her triumphant expression. I really regretted why I believed her, if I had just taken care of her in class, wouldn't that have been enough? But it was too late for regrets now. Cai Chen slapped me again with a loud smack.

  I just knew being slapped in the face hurts so much, but I still said to Cai Chen: "This is what she wanted."

  "Are you blackmailing me with your own mother's affairs? You're a coward, and cowards only use despicable tactics like this." Cai Chen glared at me fiercely, his eyes blazing with anger.

  My heart began to feel a little timid, but I knew I was going to be beaten again. However, no matter what, I still had to threaten him. At present, the only one who could intimidate him was Yang Li. Immediately, I glared at him and said: "You dare to move me, try it out, otherwise, I'll get someone to kill you when I turn my back."

  "Haha, you still dare to threaten me. Do you really think I'm afraid of that little brat? If I hadn't been recovering from my injuries for a few days, I would have killed you already. If he dares to come, just watch me kill him. Useless thing, now you still dare to threaten me."

  Cai Chen said, at the same time kicking me with one foot, I was immediately kicked into a four-legged sky. My stomach hurt so much that I curled up on the ground. And now Cai Chen would not let me go, he continued to kick me again and again, saying: "You dared to hit me last time, you have the courage of a leopard, right? You're a son of a bitch, a coward, you don't have any skills so you find someone else. Now that there's no one around, you're like a dog crawling on the ground."

  I clenched my fists tightly, I was kicked by him and it hurt a lot, but his words made me realize how weak I am. If it weren't for Yang Li, I wouldn't even dare to move him, let alone hit him, and even if I did, it would just be a few light punches. I found out that I really have nothing, no strength, no courage, not even the guts.

  "How dare you still not obey? You're the kind of person who gets beaten up, a poor ghost with no money, and yet you come to Kailai to study, and even dare to play with my woman. You like wearing my broken shoes, right? Wu Lilili wore them out and then you came to ask for them. Now Lin Xinyu also wants to play with me. You're cheap, your whole family is cheap, that's why they gave birth to a cheap person like you."

  Cai Chen's non-stop insults, I'm really hurt, really hurt. Yesterday Wu Lilili's dad scolded me, this morning Meng Heizi scolded me, now even Cai Chen is scolding me, and also scolding my parents. I'm really useless, so useless that even my own parents are being scolded.

  "Ah, Cai Chen you're so infuriating!" I was completely furious, I didn't know where I got the strength to grab onto Cai Chen's leg and I directly opened my mouth and bit down hard on his calf.

  "Ah!" Cai Chen let out a mournful cry, but I didn't care. I was determined to bite him to death. How dare he insult me and my parents!

  "Damn it, let go of your dog mouth!" Cai Chen shouted in pain.

  I was determined not to let go, this time I had to bite off a piece of his flesh. At that moment, Cai Chen's thugs also rushed over and separated me from Cai Chen. But my teeth were already sunk into the meat of his calf, and bright red blood had seeped into my mouth. I didn't care, I just wanted to keep biting him to death.

  At this time, they no longer separated me, but instead kicked me hard towards my body. Each kick was very heavy, with a feeling that wanted to kick my bones off. Finally, I was still kicked unconscious, and I didn't know if I was still biting him, but I knew my whole body was already painful, as if I was better off dead.

  Then I felt like it was raining from the sky, but the rain was hot. But I couldn't wake up, I could only barely hold on to my consciousness. I also didn't know how long I had been lying there, when I slowly came to, I found that the sky had already darkened, and I was still lying on the ground, my body wet all over, I smelled it, and it was all the smell of urine.

  I only just realized they were urinating towards me, and at this moment I still didn't have any strength, couldn't even crawl up. I hated myself for not being able to, for being bullied like this, why could others be so strong while I wasn't? Was this the difference between the rich and the poor? I didn't believe it, why were the poor born to be beaten, why? I couldn't go on like this, otherwise who would still like me, even Xiaohui would despise me, others would also look down on me.

  I recall the faces of those who insulted me, I swear, from now on Luo Mu will become strong. If I am strong, who dares to bully me? I want to live upright and dignified like them, not being despised or beaten by others. Whoever bullies me, even if it means death, I'll make him pay a price in blood.

  At this moment, I felt an unprecedented sense of courage and determination. Half an hour passed slowly, and I finally started to gain some strength, struggling to get up. My body was covered in wounds, with many places swollen into big lumps. What's worse, I felt that my internal organs were also aching, and I couldn't believe that I had been beaten so badly this time. However, I also left a mark on him - when I bit down, it was so deep that it would definitely leave a deep scar in the future.

  I trudged back home, step by painful step, the desolate land stretching out behind me. It took me over two hours to drag my injured body to the front door, and it was already past 9 pm when I entered the hall. I thought no one would be there, but unexpectedly, Xiao Xi was sitting there waiting for me. I couldn't help but smile wryly, thinking that even this pathetic scene had to be witnessed by Xiao Xi. Suddenly, I felt truly useless.

  "How are you? How did this happen?" Xiaohui looked at me as I walked in step by step with difficulty, and immediately stood up to stare at me in shock. Just as she was about to come forward to support me, I stopped her right away. I told her to go back to the room and not to bother about me. After saying that, I rushed into the bathroom. My body still reeked of strong urine smell, and I didn't want Xiaohui to catch a whiff of this disgusting odor.

  After I took off my clothes, I looked at my whole body and found that there was not a single piece of white skin left, all were either dark red wounds or black and purple bruises. Especially the several places on my face almost broke apart.

  In front of the bathroom mirror, I quietly let the cold water wash away the bloodstains and urine on my body. I feel the pain when the water touches the wound, my eyebrows furrowed, I don't want to cry out. I have to endure this, it's a lesson, a setback in my growth. I need to make myself understand that weakness will be beaten.

  This time I washed for a long time, and when the smell on my body had been washed away, along with the bloodstains, I slowly walked out wearing a new pair of underwear, leaning against the wall.

  I thought Xiaohui would go upstairs, but unexpectedly she was standing at the bathroom door waiting for me. Seeing me come out, she didn't even avoid me wearing only a pair of shorts and came forward to hug me tightly. I was stunned at that moment, staring blankly at her.

  "I've seen it before, let's go, I'll help you upstairs." Xiaohui gave me a white eye and then supported me into my bedroom. I dryly laughed, when Xiaohui and I were young and didn't understand things, we didn't have anything to hide from each other. We had already seen the places that needed to be seen.

  Even though I'm injured at this moment, I suddenly feel that it's all worth it. I really didn't expect that Xiaohui would be so concerned about me one day. I slowly lay down on the bed and finally felt a sense of relief wash over me. At this time, Xiaohui hastily took out our family's first-aid kit and brought several bottles of medicine to my bedside.

  She carefully disinfected all the wounds on my body with iodine. I frowned, it was very painful. Xiaohui told me to bear with it, I said never mind, just apply the medicine.

  Although it hurts, but my heart is sweet at this moment. I know that Xiao Xi still cares about me, and before that was because she couldn't accept it, blaming me.

  That night, Xiaohui was also busy helping me apply medicine. After wiping the iodine, it was the medicine for bruises and injuries, which were almost all over my body, so it took a long time, and I was in pain for a long time.

  After finally getting everything settled, Xiao Xi wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at me, who was almost in tatters. I saw a hint of worry in her eyes. At this time, Xiao Xi was wearing a set of pajamas, still open due to the heat, but my mind didn't have any other thoughts. I suddenly thought that this is as good as it gets forever.

  "Xiao Xi!" I exclaimed, moved. This was the first time I had called her that since school started. She hadn't allowed me to call her that before, but this time I couldn't help myself and did anyway.

  "Get some rest, I'm going back to my room. Tomorrow I'll help you ask for leave, and don't fight again in the future." Xiaohui looked at me with some sympathy, but I still nodded.

  She left, and I couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Firstly, Xiaohui finally started to care about me slowly, secondly, this matter today, I absolutely cannot swallow it like this. I must take revenge, Cai Chen and that Lin Xinyu, if I don't beat them up, this breath will be hard to dissipate. Moreover, I also don't want to be so weak anymore, I must be brave once, this Cai Chen will be the stepping stone for me to not be a coward again, I want him to know the consequences of offending me, poor people also have self-respect, poor people can also beat rich people, losers also have times of counterattack, I must truly be a man, otherwise even Xiaohui won't like me.

  I haven't been to class for several days, and Xiaohui asked Meng Hezi for a week's leave for me. Although I don't know how Xiaohui did it, she managed to get Meng Hezi to give me a week off, so I got a week of vacation time too. This time I was really hurt badly, even on the first day, there was some blood in my urine, and I was almost scared into running to the hospital, but later it stopped.

  In the following days, I don't know how Yang Li knew that I was beaten. He asked me how my injury was and I said it was severe. Moreover, I wanted to get revenge for this humiliation, this vendetta must be avenged. After hearing my words, Yang Li immediately supported me, saying that I should think of a way to resist like a man, if you are softer they will bully you more, even if you can't win the fight, you have to make the other side lose some skin, this is what a real man is.

  When I walked into the classroom a week later, I found many surprised eyes looking at me. I didn't know if it was because I hadn't attended classes for a long time or because they knew about the fight, or maybe my current state was different. But no matter what, I believed that Luo Mu was absolutely not the same coward as before.
