  "Alright, then its settled!" Zou Yangs parents were both government officials, and he had obviously inherited their excellent genes. He had a natural talent for politics, and his ability to win people over and manipulate them was top-notch.

  The class cheered again, and on the first day of school, they could eat a free big meal. Who wouldnt be happy?

  "Everyones going, lets all go!" Zou Yang said happily, but suddenly changed his tone: "Of course, except for him!"

  The class immediately fell silent, and my scalp began to tingle. It had finally come. I didnt even need to turn around to know that Zou Yang was talking about me. He must be pointing at me now, and everyones eyes are fixed on me. I didnt have the courage to confirm it, so I just kept my head down, feeling like an eternity was passing by.

  The class was very quiet, and my breathing became heavier. Although I lowered my head, I could still see Liu Zihongs expression with the corner of my eye, this wooden and bespectacled boy was also staring at me in astonishment. No one understood why on the first day of school, the class leader would ostracize an ordinary classmate like this.

  Zou Yang knows, I know, no one else knows.

  Its starting again...

  I went through great pains and hardships, even willing to kneel down to Zou Yang, just to be able to attend Nanjing High School, just to thoroughly get rid of the shadow of my middle school days. But now, everything is going to replay again, being excluded, being humiliated, being ridiculed, thats a day I dare not think about.

  Why, why does someone like Zou Yang have to appear in my life? Is heaven testing me by arranging such a powerful opponent for me? He has money, a good family background, strength, connections, cunning, and means, he can crush me with just his little finger!

  "He doesnt deserve to eat with us." Zou Yang sneered. On the first day of school, he gave me a warning shot. The implication was clear: dont think that just because youre hiding in Chengnan High School, you can escape my five fingers!

  My face is burning with shame, I just want to dig a hole in the ground and hide. If this were in my middle school classroom, I might still be able to bear it, because Im used to being treated like this every day. But now, new high school, new classroom, new classmates... and Zou Yang humiliates me in front of all of them.

  Should I rush over and hit him? I clenched my fists. I knew I couldnt beat him, in terms of height and weight, even two of me wouldnt be a match for him. But if things went on like this, I would only suffer endless bullying.

  The class gradually fell into a whisper, I dont know where I got the courage from, and I mechanically turned my head back.

  Zou Yang was indeed pointing at me, with a cold smile on his face. As soon as I saw his face, I remembered the three years of being bullied by him in junior high school. Just thinking about those days, fear once again lingered in my heart.

  "What am I doing?!" Zou Yang snorted: "Dont blame me for not giving him a good face. He and I are both from Dongguan Town, I know best what kind of person he is! As for his story, Ill tell you slowly at lunchtime today!" With a hint of sarcastic smile.

  What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? I asked myself in my heart. I hate my own clumsy mouth and tongue, I hate my own cowardice!

  "Lets go, lets eat!" Zou Yang took the lead and walked towards the classroom door. Everyone stood up, some looked at me, some didnt look at me, but they all went out of the classroom together. My deskmate Liu Zihong glanced at me, opened his mouth, but didnt say anything and followed them out.

  It didnt explode... Just now, I really wanted to punch Zhou Yangs face. This idea has been brewing in my mind many times before, but not once did I dare to put it into action. I lowered my head again, listening to the decreasing number of classmates, listening to their footsteps getting farther and farther away. Slowly, the noisy classroom became completely quiet, and although I didnt lift my head, I knew for sure that no one was left.

  I let out a long sigh. Never mind, Ive gotten used to it for three years, and its just another three years of getting used to it anyway.

  I hung my head low and suddenly saw a pair of pink sneakers that werent new, but were spotlessly clean. I lifted my head up and it was Xia Xue.

  Xia Xue didnt go to dinner with Zou Yang! My heart was racing with excitement and surprise. Xia Xue sat in front of me, her face slightly angry: "Zou Yang said that, why didnt you retort?"

  I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. Yeah, why didnt I retort? In middle school, I wasnt one to not retort. But the outcome of retorting was always being ridiculed even more or getting kicked flying by him.

  "Speak up." Xia Xue got even angrier.

  "I dont dare." I mustered up the courage to say it out loud. To admit ones cowardice in front of a girl you like, is really...

  "Why?" Xia Xue looked at me in surprise.

  Xia Xue is very pretty, and she dresses elegantly and has a sweet and gentle disposition. A girl like her has always been pampered by the people around her since childhood, whether at home or in school, there are few people who will bother her, and they will even compete to be her protector. Such a girl probably will never know what its like to be bullied.

  Facing Xia Xue, I suddenly lost the desire to confide in her. I didnt want to expose my scars to her, it made me feel embarrassed.

  "Its nothing." I shook my head, stood up and prepared to leave the classroom.

  "Next time he says it, Ill strike back!" Xia Xue said behind me: "If you dont work hard yourself, no one will help."

  "Hmph..." I smiled wryly and left the classroom by myself.

  I went to the dining hall alone, got my own food, ate slowly by myself, and walked back to the dormitory.

  Such a lonely life, Ive gotten used to it for three years, and I dont care if its another three years. Lying on the dormitory bed, my mind somehow recalled Xia Xues words: "If you dont work hard, no one will help you!" I put my hands under my head, staring blankly at the ceiling.

  The dormitory was very quiet, and everyone went to eat Zou Yangs meal. After a long time, the door of the dormitory was pushed open, and all the roommates came in one after another. They were all smiling and flushed with pleasure, apparently they had eaten and drunk well. As soon as they entered the dormitory, they didnt idle around, chattering away.

  "Our class monitor is so cool, he laid out four tables without blinking an eye!"

  "Hes most handsome when its time to pay! I was still worried if he had enough cash, but in the end, he directly pulled out his credit card!"

  "They are really wealthy, this time Ive truly opened my eyes!"

  My bed is on the upper berth, I suspect they didnt see me at all, otherwise, they wouldnt have said what they did.

  "By the way, the class monitor said that Wang Hao was really miserable in their junior high school..."

  "Haha, I was a punching bag in junior high, and its still the same in high school!"

  "The class monitor wants to deal with him, this day is going to be tough for him..."

  "Hush..." Someone whispered softly, and I saw him quietly pointing at me out of the corner of my eye.

  While others looked as if they had suddenly realized, probably only now did they know that I was also in this dormitory. My heart felt like a thousand arrows piercing through it, and for the time being, they would still be considerate of my presence. After some more time passes, once they get used to bullying me, they will do so openly and unscrupulously.

  Damn it...... I clenched my fists again, but loosened them once more. Why am I always so cowardly? Who can come and rescue me from this sea of suffering?

  I turned my head towards the wall and quietly shed tears.

  Zou Yang gradually became a figure who could call the wind and rain in class.

  This is what I expected, its too easy for him to win people over with his means. He mixed with those few slippery students in the class and called Li Jie brothers, they were close friends. They are not only a tyrant in the class, but also a well-known group of people in the entire first year of high school. Li Jie and others were originally small-time hooligans in Beiyuan City, now with the addition of wealthy Zou Yang joining forces, its really a strong alliance.

  Classmates in the class surrounded them, clapping and slandering, wanting to walk with them in glory. Back in the dormitory, Zou Yang often sneaked around. Of course, he also came to our dormitory. When he came to our dormitory, other students in the dormitory would surround him, and I lay on the upper bunk without making a sound, as if we were people from two different worlds. There is a kind of person who is always the center of attention wherever they go, and Zou Yang is that kind of person.

  The ridicule towards me has never been less, but Ive always been deaf to it, with a "dead pig not afraid of boiling water" attitude. It seems that Zou Yang also felt that being too arrogant in a school outside his hometown wasnt good, so he didnt take any action against me. My classmates naturally classified me as an outcast, no one would actively talk to me, including my deskmate. That four-eyed Liu Zihong became mute in front of me.

  That evening after self-study, Xia Xue sat in front of me again. At that time, Zou Yang and Li Jie were making trouble in the front row of the classroom, I clearly felt that Zou Yangs gaze at me was fierce and piercing, with a hint of cruel venom.

  "Why is it always like this?!" Xia Xues expression was even angrier this time. "Whats wrong with me?" I pretended to be stupid.

  "Whats wrong?" Xia Xue lowered her voice, seemingly giving me face: "He bullies you like that every day, what a cold-blooded person!"

  "Im used to it." I smiled: "Its good this way, no one disturbs me from studying. Once I get into college, I can escape this kind of life."

  When I was in junior high school, I yearned to be admitted to Chengnan High School, thinking that once I got here, I could start a new life. Now that Im in the key class of Chengnan High School, Ive pinned my hopes on getting into college. What they call "ostrich mentality" is probably what I have now?

  "What nonsense are you talking about!" Xia Xue couldnt help but raise her voice: "No one disturbing our studies? What about the English book that was torn up? What about the math homework that was thrown into the water? And what about the pencil case filled with chalk dust?"
