Luo Xingzhi's heart tightened, and he subconsciously grabbed Shi Zhe's hand.

He remembered the photos he had seen in Shi Zhe High School's Post Bar.

In those photos, the young man is withdrawn and rebellious. In each photo, there are more or less injuries, and band-aids are commonplace.

When talking about the past, although Shi Zhe told a story that had nothing to do with him like a normal person, but listening to those words, he could already imagine the pictures of those scars, and saw those buried in the past time on Shi Zhe's body. Inside, the bloody wound that was carefully covered.

Most of Shi Zhe's youth was accompanied by wounds and blood.

The mood became worse and worse, the hostility and impulse that had been washed away by time spread from the depths of his bones, Luo Xingzhi's eyes turned cold, and he unconsciously tightened the strength in his hands.

Shi Zhe was very uncomfortable being grabbed by his hand, he frowned and said, "Brother, I hurt."

Luo Xingzhi snapped back to his senses and let go of the strength in his hands.

But because of this interruption, Shi Zhe suddenly forgot what he just said, tilted his head and thought for a while, and then continued: "Actually, the most terrifying thing in this family is not Xue Ziying and Li Yun, but mine. Stepfather, Xue Ziying is hopelessly stupid, and Li Yun has that personality, so she can't do anything to me."

"But Xue Hui... is my cheap stepfather. He is different from those two people. He is a hypocrite who is very good at disguising himself. He usually looks very close, but in fact he just has other plans for me."

Shi Zhe also thought that his stepfather was a good man at first—Xue Hui turned a blind eye to his various behaviors, even if he knew about it, he ignored him, let alone his grades; Xue Ziying, his own son, is so strict that he will be scolded for a slight regress in his studies.

At that time, Shi Zhe's thoughts were very simple. He knew that Xue Ziying was jealous of his "pampering" that Xue Hui let go, so he simply used this aspect to stimulate revenge on Xue Ziying.

During those days, he lived unscrupulously. During class, he often skipped classes and turned over the wall to play games, surf the Internet, or play ball.

Because he didn't study hard, his grades began to decline. When he was in junior high school, he was always at the bottom of the class.

But Shi Zhe didn't care, he still lived in his own way, and used this incident from time to time to stimulate Xue Ziying - you can see that my grades are so bad, it doesn't matter, if your grades drop, you have to be scolded.

Shi Zhe always thought he was the winner until the summer vacation when he was a freshman and a sophomore.

That day, when he went out to play, he remembered that he hadn't brought the newly bought knee pads on the way, so he went back home again.

He was used to it back then, and when he reached the back wall, he didn't bother to go around to the main entrance, so he climbed over the wall and entered the backyard, and then entered the house through the open window in the kitchen on the first floor.

When he walked to the second floor and passed by Xue Ziying's room, he heard Xue Ziying and Xue Hui's heart-to-heart conversation in the room.

Every time Shi Zhe thinks about the heart-to-heart talk between the father and son, he will feel sick, and this time is no exception: "The reason my stepfather is willing to spoil me is because he intends to make me a worthless piece of trash. He can't do anything, and becomes a tool that can be manipulated at will, replacing his own son to complete a commercial marriage."

On the night when he learned the truth, Shi Zhe hid in his room and cried all night.

Shi Zhe spent a few days trying to calm himself down. He approached his class teacher in junior high school and asked him sincerely, "Teacher, is it true that learning can change your destiny?"

With the help of the junior high school head teacher, Shi Zhe got the junior high school textbooks of various subjects.

He was still the same as before, carrying his bag and going out to play every day, but he walked to a place where his family could not see, turned around and went to the city library.

Probably because of his clever mind, he spent a summer vacation to make up the basic knowledge of junior high school.

After the second year of high school started, Shi Zhe directly applied to live in school.

Xue Hui paid for him to attend the best high school in the city in order not to be criticized for "sons and stepsons are treated differently", but it has also become the cornerstone of the counterattack of the times.

The high school is very strict, and non-school students are not allowed to enter. Because Shi Zhe lives on campus, when he goes home on weekends, he will go back directly by the driver's car, and he will never run into those gangsters outside the school again.

It took him two years to get up early and work late at night, from the bottom of the grade to the first in a complete counterattack.

"You don't know, on the day when the results of the college entrance examination came out, when my stepfather found out that I had won the provincial champion, he felt unhappy but had to pretend to be a good parent who cared about me and congratulated me." Shi Zhe said At this point, I couldn't help laughing again, "The grades of his own son, who he had placed high hopes on, were dropped by a lot, and even the prestigious school was only enrolled in a prestigious school with money and donations. As far as his good face is concerned, I guess When someone mentions this, I vomit blood in my heart.”

Hearing Shi Zhe's complacent tone, Luo Xingzhi's mood became more and more heavy.

He really couldn't imagine how desperate Shi Zhe must be when he learned the truth.

At that time, Shi Zhe was almost facing a desperate situation.

If it was a normal person, he would have been paralyzed by this long-term bullying and unfair treatment, and finally gave up on himself.

But Shi Zhe survived.

Although he said it lightly, anyone who has gone through the experience of studying can know how much effort he put in for the final counterattack.

Seeing that Luo Xingzhi remained silent, Shi Zhe tilted his head again: "To sum it up, now that I've said it, I realize that I'm pretty good."

Luo Xingzhi wanted to comfort people, but he couldn't do anything, so he could only say: "To be able to turn the tables in such a situation is not only very powerful, but very powerful."

"Probably because I encountered too much when I was young. I also learned a lot from a friend. In addition to courage in the face of oppression, there is also tenacity in the face of difficulties." Shi Zhe explained softly, and firmly Looking at Luo Xingzhi with those drunk eyes, "That friend is you, Brother Xingzhi."

——If the first half of my life was full of darkness and thorns, you are the light that guides the direction of my life.

In the vast darkness, even a little light is enough to give me the direction and motivation to move forward.

Shi Zhe finished speaking slowly, stared at Luo Xingzhi's face for a while, opened his arms, hugged Luo Xingzhi, and whispered: "I met you before I met those disgusting people and things. ,very nice."

Luo Xingzhi was silent, and hugged him very lightly.

With the familiar warm embrace of Leng Xiang, Shi Zhe relaxed. He took a deep breath, and continued the topic just now.

It wasn't until he went to university and started to get in touch with the society that Shi Zhe gradually realized that to completely get rid of the shackles of that family, it was not enough to rely on a provincial champion in the college entrance examination. He had to be good enough, independent enough, so independent that he didn't need Only when he can live well on his own with the family's money can he really have the capital to break free.

Probably aware of his intentions, the Xue family also made new moves and began to arrange blind dates for him.

At that time, Shi Zhe was not as independent as he is now. Although he lived well at school with scholarships and part-time jobs, he was still not completely independent, and he couldn't really tear himself apart from his family.

But facing this kind of "blind date", Shi Zhe is not helpless. The second time he was "caught in a dinner with a wealthy woman's family", he directly came out at the dinner table where the two families ate together.

The effect of coming out was unexpectedly good. After that, Shi Zhe began to pay people to be his "boyfriend".

Because he hired people with money, and for various reasons, his "partners" were replaced very quickly. Gradually, his reputation as a romantic spread, and the family stopped the blind date arrangements for him.

When Shi Zhe said this, he couldn't help laughing: "The woman's family is not stupid. Now that the Internet is so developed, you can see that I have changed boyfriends again and again on the forums. Even if there are plans to marry, those People don't want to treat their daughters as their same wives, and some wealthy families still think that I have had so many lovers and that I am very dirty."

At the end of the conversation, Shi Zhe couldn't help muttering: "They think I'm dirty, but I also think they're stubborn, stinky and dirty."

Luo Xingzhi felt very uncomfortable when he heard it. Although he guessed that Shi Zhe's appearance outside was related to his family, he never thought that his family could go too far.

He silently tightened his arms, coaxing softly: "You are not dirty at all, it's because they don't have eyes."

Shi Zhe snorted, "But it's also because they don't have eyes, otherwise my blind date will probably be endless."

After finishing the complaint, Shi Zhe said with some distress: "Although pretending to be flirtatious is very effective, but my shitty stepfather doesn't give up at all."

"The phone call he just made revealed his inner thoughts. He has already started to think about arranging me to go on a blind date with the gay son of a wealthy family. He also called it a good match. Isn't it just to find someone who can marry him? Do you have a relationship with a wealthy family with a similar family?"

"He wants to get married so much, why doesn't he send his own son out?"

The anxiety in Luo Xingzhi's heart reached its peak the moment he heard Shi Zhe's words clearly. For the first time, he was so helpless. In the end, he could only silently tighten his arms, wanting to give the person in his arms enough warmth and a sense of security through his arms. Consolingly: "Don't be afraid, as long as I'm here, no one can bully you again."

The same words sounded in his ears as when he was a child, feeling the powerful embrace and warmth of real existence, Shi Zhe's eyes became hot, and he felt that something had hit the softest part of his heart, the grievance and sadness that he had deliberately ignored all these years Like a flood that broke its embankment, it quickly submerged him.

The soreness at the tip of his nose became more and more serious, Shi Zhe hugged the support in front of him forcefully, grabbed Luo Xingzhi's clothes with both hands, buried him on his shoulders, and cried out in a low voice uncontrollably and repressedly.
