Chapter 5 - 5 Don't be afraid of him

A boy like this, before being taken abroad by his father for medical treatment years later, had always been insignificant and invisible.

He never spoke, nor did he listen to others.

He was immersed in his own world.

So much so that in her past life, Yun Shifei hadn't even known they'd once briefly been classmates.

Song Yang noticed Cheng Lie didn't say a word, focusing only on the book in his hands.

His anger flared, and through gritted teeth, he snatched the book from Cheng Lie's hands.

He tossed it over his shoulder without a second thought.

Thud—

The textbook landed directly on Yun Shifei's desk.

It startled her.

The book lay open, pristine, without a single written word, cleaner than her own.

Cheng Lie finally reacted when his book was snatched away. He looked up at Song Yang, his gaze straight and emotionless.

"Are you stupid or deaf? I've been talking to you for ages, and you won't even say a word?" Song Yang spoke.

Cheng Lie still didn't respond.

It felt like punching cotton—powerless, yet infuriating.

Song Yang had always been volatile, and being the boss of Class Seven, no one dared to disobey him.

Seeing his temper rise, he grabbed Cheng Lie by the collar, clearly preparing to fight.

Yun Shifei's heart raced; she knew she couldn't turn a blind eye.

No matter how cruel Cheng Lie may become in the future, for now, he was just a helpless boy, easy to bully.

He didn't know anything.

Previously, he had unintentionally helped her, and if she didn't step forward because of fear, wouldn't he feel betrayed?

And her conscience wouldn't let her be at peace.

At that moment, Yun Shifei didn't consider that Cheng Lie might not even remember her.

Seeing Song Yang about to strike, Yun Shifei rushed forward and grabbed Song Yang's hand, shouting, "Stop!"
