But the final result was that he was scolded by his aunt, who said that he was not at all a worry-free person and only caused trouble, and that he did not have the slightest sense of awareness that one should have when living under someone else’s roof.

Later, his aunt brought him to apologize, and in order to ask for the child’s forgiveness, he did the duty for him for a semester and swept the dirty and smelly toilet for a semester.

Lu Mingfei can still remember his aunt’s angry and disappointed look at that time. It was as if she was looking at a pile of mud that could not be propped up against the wall, or as if she was looking at a trouble that had to be dealt with.

From then on, Lu Mingfei never fought back. No matter how others scolded him, he pretended not to hear it.

Later, the child, like a victorious general, proudly pointed at Lu Mingfei who was sweeping the toilet and said to other classmates, “See, I said he was an orphan who was unwanted by his parents, and his aunt even admitted it herself.”

He was looked at with countless contempt. He felt embarrassed at first, but gradually got used to it.

I don’t know if it’s because he has been numb for too long, he almost forgot that he once resisted.

The girl’s voice sounded again, this time with deep disappointment.

“You can’t even fight back, so why are you trying to be a hero?”

“Since you’re so afraid of getting into trouble, then just go. What does it have to do with you how others are bullied? Just pretend you don’t know. You don’t know them anyway.”

The voice rang directly in his mind, and Lu Mingfei subconsciously wanted to refute it. He said in his heart: No, it’s not like that, it shouldn’t be like this.

But even he himself couldn’t explain it clearly. If it shouldn’t be like this, then what should it be like?

The men were tired of kicking and had no idea how to deal with this girl. The leader stopped, lit a cigarette, and looked at the girl behind him.

An obscene, greedy smile appeared on his face. He turned and walked towards the girl step by step, like a devil walking towards a sacrificial lamb.

Seeing this scene, Lu Mingfei’s mind suddenly exploded. He didn’t know where he got the strength from. He broke free from the crowd and pounced on him, grabbing the corner of the man’s clothes tightly.

He couldn’t imagine what they would do to this girl, he just knew he didn’t want to see it happen.

The leader was caught off guard and staggered by the sudden attack, and he slapped Lu Mingfei hard in the face with his backhand.

Lu Mingfei was slapped and fell backwards. His cheeks felt burning with pain and he even saw stars in front of his eyes.

“Well done, you still have strength, right? Hit him, fight back, hit him on the head with a brick!”

The girl’s voice was like a spell, constantly echoing in Lu Mingfei’s mind. He felt as if his brain was about to split open, and the pain made him want to roll on the ground.

“Fight back! Fight back! I’ll let you fight back!”

The sound kept repeating. Lu Mingfei’s eyes were full of bloodshot and his eyeballs were bulging due to excessive force. He twisted on the ground in pain, but his hands were tightly clenched around the brick.

Because of the excessive force, the fingers were almost rubbed to bleeding and the veins on the back of the hand were bulging.

“Bah!” The burly man spat fiercely, turned around and continued to walk towards the fair girl. His eyes were full of excitement and he reached out to grab the girl’s hand.

But just when he was about to touch the girl, he was suddenly stunned, because the girl, who had been silent all the time, suddenly raised her head, her long black hair fell down, revealing a pair of bright golden eyes.

What a terrifying pair of eyes they were, filled with indifference without any human emotion, icy cold like an everlasting glacier, yet hot as if there was fire burning in them.

Just as he was stunned, he suddenly heard a burst of screams from behind. He turned around subconsciously and saw the boy with red eyes and ferocious face rushing towards him, hitting him on the head with a brick.

He was caught off guard and his head was broken and bleeding. He staggered and fell to the ground.

But the cowardly boy seemed to be crazy at this moment. Without giving him any chance to react, he pounced on him again and kicked him in the face.

Lu Mingfei roared angrily and stomped hard on this disgusting guy again and again.

He seemed to be confused and had no scruples at this moment. He did not think about the consequences of fighting back. The only thing in his mind was the girl’s voice.

She told him to fight back, she told him to hit back!

But just when he was about to return all the beatings he had just received, the guys behind him finally reacted. They all pounced on him, and Lu Mingfei was knocked to the ground in an instant.

But this time he did not curl up and passively take the beating. He resisted fiercely, determined to fight back even if he was beaten, as if he had suddenly gone mad.

But there were too many people, and no matter how hard he tried to fight back, he was eventually controlled. He didn’t know where the brick was kicked, and his whole body was in pain. His vision was black and he could hardly see anything.

His behavior angered these guys. They finally stopped holding back and punched and kicked him as if they wanted to kill him directly.

What a failure! He’s not going to be beaten to death like this, is he? That would be a sloppy death.

Lu Mingfei, finally exhausted, closed his eyes, but he did not have much regret in his heart, because he had tried his best instead of being a coward and doing nothing.

It’s just a pity that he was too weak and couldn’t save her like the girl saved him.

But just as he was preparing to die, his body suddenly felt lighter, and then countless screams rang in his ears.

He slowly opened his eyes, which were blurred by blood. In his blurry vision, he saw the pale and thin girl swinging her fists and hitting the faces of those sturdy men again and again.

The sound of bones breaking continued to ring out. With just one punch, those people were knocked to the ground as if they had suffered a horrible blow and were unable to get up for a long time.

In just a few moments, a group of people were lying on the ground, and the sounds of screaming and wailing were endless.

Lu Mingfei blinked his eyes. His brain was numb and sluggish from the severe pain and he didn’t quite understand what was going on. He saw the expressionless girl walking towards him step by step.

Their eyes met in the air. Lu Mingfei was lying on his back on the dusty ground, looking disheveled and covered in wounds, while the girl had the bright sun above her head.

She seemed to be walking out of the light, and Lu Mingfei could hardly see her face in the dazzling light.

The girl slowly stretched out her hand towards him, her lips slightly raised, and there was a hint of relief in her voice.

“You’re not as cowardly as I thought.” The girl said softly, “Well done.”

Chapter 118 Resistance isn’t that hard, is it?

Lu Mingfei lay on the ground, staring blankly at the girl’s hand stretched out to him.

His brain was in a mess, his eyes were a little blurry, and his thinking was slow. He didn’t know what was going on. It all seemed like just a nightmare.

Seeing that he didn’t move, Yuan Zhinu was not in a hurry. She just stretched out her hand, as if she would wait like this forever if Lu Mingfei couldn’t get up.

No one knew how much time had passed. Time seemed to slow down, and the screams in their ears were slowly fading away, as if they were the only two people left in the entire world.

The girl’s voice sounded softly: “Resistance is actually not that difficult, is it?”

Lu Mingfei blinked slowly and remained silent, as if he didn’t react.

Yuan Zhinv simply sat next to him, not caring at all that the dust on the ground had soiled her black windbreaker.

“You can’t stay weak forever. If you do something, there may not be any good results, but if you do nothing, you can only watch the tragedy happen.”

“You can tolerate being bullied and humiliated because it doesn’t touch your bottom line, but one day you won’t be able to tolerate it anymore. Others will not stop because of your concessions, but will only intensify their abuses, step by step, until they force you to the point where you have no way out. If that’s the case, why don’t you resist from the beginning?”

“If they hit you, you hit them back. If they bully you, you bully them back. It is better to give an eye for an eye than to regret it painfully after the tragedy happens.”

“Maybe you are weak, and your resistance may not be useful, but at least you tried your best. As long as you tried your best, you will have no regrets. You will not regret not resisting in the future, and you will not think, oh, I should have resisted at that time.”

“Regret is the most useless thing in the world. It is a coward’s self-deception disguise. It is the root of pain and the most poisonous poison. It is a nightmare that you can never escape from in countless midnight dreams. You will be trapped in it for life.”

The girl’s voice was gentle and distant, like a close friend late at night, or like a teacher who was patiently guiding others. Lu Mingfei listened in silence, and his heart suddenly calmed down.

He looked up at the clear blue sky. Under the warm and scorching sun, it seemed as if the wounds on his body didn’t hurt so much anymore.

He thought aimlessly, will this happen? If he doesn’t fight back today, will he regret it later?

Maybe it really is. No matter how successful he becomes in the future, he will feel humiliated whenever he thinks of this period. All that remains in his memory is him being kicked to the ground and kicked around like trash.

He might really wonder why he didn’t kick it back at that time. If only he had kicked it back at that time.

And now he kicked back, getting bruises all over his body, but in memories he was no longer trash, because he resisted, and being beaten turned into a mutual fight, and even the wounds became a symbol of honor.

Think about it, he challenged more than a dozen people alone to save people, so what’s wrong with failure? Failure is natural!

In ancient martial arts novels, people like him who sacrificed themselves for others were called heroes! Even if they died, their names would be remembered in history! Even in TV dramas, they would make people cry!

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei suddenly laughed. He didn’t even know why he was laughing, but he just wanted to laugh for no reason.

It turns out that a trash like him can also fight back. It turns out that a waste like him can also save others.

He had long been accustomed to being disappointed and looked down upon by everyone. It was not until now that he realized that a loser like him could also be expected by others…

His eyes suddenly felt a little sore and Lu Mingfei closed his eyes tiredly. He was clearly smiling, but water was dripping from the corners of his eyes. He couldn’t tell whether it was tears or blood, but it didn’t matter anymore.

He smiled tiredly and said weakly: “Damn it, you are kidding me.”

The girl didn’t say anything, but just stretched out her hand to him again.

This time, Lu Mingfei did not hesitate any more. He gripped it tightly. A pulling force came and the seemingly thin and frail girl easily pulled him up from the ground.

“I’ll take you to the hospital.” The girl said, “Thank you for coming to save me.”

Lu Mingfei wanted to say thank you and I accepted it but there was no need to go to the hospital. After the heroic spirit in his heart faded away, worry filled his heart again. He didn’t dare to look at the guys who were knocked to the ground, nor did he dare to think about whether he would be retaliated against.

What he is most worried about now is how to explain to his aunt?

He was covered in wounds and his clothes were extremely dirty. Wouldn’t his aunt be furious when she saw him?

Lu Mingfei could imagine her roaring in rage, and for a moment he didn’t even feel the wounds anymore, only panic filled his heart.

But the strange girl didn’t give him a chance to refuse. She just pulled him and stuffed him into the car. He didn’t even see what car it was before it started and rushed straight to the hospital.

The next step was to bandage the wound. During the whole process, Lu Mingfei was dazed like a wooden man. He felt that all this was just like a dream and he couldn’t come back to his senses at all.

It was not until all the wounds were properly treated and the girl stuffed him into the car again and asked him where his home was that Lu Mingfei suddenly reacted and quickly said, “I can go back by myself!”

“I’ll take you home.” The girl said calmly, her voice calm but unyielding: “Address.”

Lu Mingfei wanted to say something else, but looking at Yuan Zhinu’s eyes that were as dark as deep pools, he couldn’t say no. He felt indescribable pressure.

He gave the address weakly and saw the girl step on the accelerator. The engine made a roaring sound. He felt uneasy, and his mind was full of his aunt’s roar and anger.

He became restless, like a prisoner about to be executed, or a villain standing in the court awaiting trial.

As if she had sensed his nervousness, the girl driving the car said softly, “Don’t be afraid, I’ll cover you.”

“If you encounter this kind of thing again, just fight back boldly. If anyone dares to step on you, step back. If anyone dares to bully you, beat him until he is left with a broken tooth.”

“If you can’t beat me, you can come to me. I’ll be responsible if anything goes wrong. I promise you won’t be in any trouble.”

Lu Mingfei stared blankly at the girl’s pale profile. Her tone was so calm and casual, as if she was saying that the weather was good today and he could come and play with her anytime in the future.

But what she said was so solemn, and every word carried great weight, like a huge rock hitting his heart, leaving one mark after another, and splashing ripples.

No one had ever said such words to Lu Mingfei. His parents had never taken care of him since they gave birth to him. His aunt told him every day to be more at ease and not to cause trouble. So he was very cautious and did not dare to conflict with anyone because he knew that there was no one behind him.

No one will cover for him, so he has to consider the consequences of everything he does.

But now the girl told him that it was okay, just fight back if you were bullied, and do whatever you wanted, and she would solve all his problems for him.

Lu Mingfei’s eyes suddenly turned red, his heart was filled with complicated emotions, and he was speechless for a long time.

He followed the girl back to his familiar home and watched her knock on the shabby door.

“Who is it?” came my aunt’s loud voice from inside the house, and then the door was opened, and a middle-aged woman with a plump figure and rough skin stuck her head out.

When she saw Yuan Zhinu, the aunt was obviously stunned and seemed a little confused, until she moved her eyes back and saw Lu Mingfei behind her.

Seeing Lu Mingfei’s miserable appearance, the aunt frowned and subconsciously scolded: “Lu Mingfei, what are you doing? Did you go out to fight?!”

Lu Mingfei couldn’t help shrinking his neck. He wanted to hide, but his aunt’s eyes were as sharp as an eagle and had locked onto him firmly.

But at this moment, the girl took a step forward and blocked him behind her. The look that frightened Lu Mingfei disappeared, and the only thing left in his sight was the girl’s thin back.

The aunt looked at the thin and frail girl in front of her, and at her dark eyes that were as calm as a well. Her aura inexplicably weakened, and she opened her mouth but no words came out.

“Hello.” Yuan Zhinv smiled politely. At that moment, the ice and snow melted, and the frightening sense of distance and aggression disappeared instantly. She looked like a somewhat restrained little girl next door.

Aunt also smiled awkwardly: “Hello, hello, who are you?”

“I’m Lu Mingfei’s classmate. Today, I was accidentally blocked by a few hooligans and was almost bullied. It was Lu Mingfei who passed by and saved me.”

Yuan Zhinu looked at the middle-aged woman in front of her, blinked slightly, and her eyes slowly turned red: “Thanks to Lu Mingfei, otherwise I…”

My aunt had never seen such a scene before and was immediately shocked. She quickly cried out “Ouch”, opened the door and welcomed the person in.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry, I’m glad you’re okay.” At the same time, she looked at Lu Mingfei’s miserable appearance and felt a headache: “Kid, why didn’t you call the police? You went there alone with so many people around? Look at the beating.”

Lu Mingfei scratched his head and explained in a low voice: “I forgot it when I was in a hurry.”

“Auntie, don’t blame him. Today is really thanks to him.” The girl’s voice interrupted her aunt’s nagging, and as she spoke, she took out a card from her pocket.

“I feel really bad for causing trouble for Lu Mingfei. This is a small token of my appreciation.”

My aunt opened her eyes wide in surprise and waved her hands quickly: “No, no, no, this won’t work!”

Yuan Zhinv forced the card into her hand and said, “Auntie, please keep it. This is my compensation for Lu Mingfei’s medical expenses. He was seriously injured. You can use the money in the card to make some nutritional supplements for him. I’ve written the password on it.”

My aunt looked embarrassed, but she finally sighed and compromised, “Well, little girl, please be careful outside.”

Yuan Zhinu nodded obediently: “Thank you, Auntie.”

“Lu Mingfei, why don’t you take your classmates to sit for a while?” Auntie looked at Lu Mingfei again, but this time her tone was much gentler: “Look at how ugly you are. I’ll make you some bones to make soup, you unlucky child.”
