“I can’t take this anymore!!!!” Chen Youzai roared, finally exploding after eighteen years. He rushed out of the crowd and charged through the school gate at top speed. By the time the old gatekeeper realized he should stop him, Chen Youzai had already rushed onto the national road.
I’ve endured this for too long. I’ve had enough of this kind of life, Chen Youzai encouraged himself as he ran. Every bit of bad luck from that day flashed through his mind one after another, and Chen Youzai wished he could instantly transform into an extraordinarily handsome face to shock those classmates who had mocked him.
After taking the bank card he had secretly applied for from home, Chen Youzai rushed back onto the road again and withdrew, as quickly as possible, all the New Year’s money he had saved over eighteen years. When he appeared again, he was standing outside the entrance of a plastic surgery clinic.
Standing at the entrance, Chen Youzai suddenly hesitated. Should he really go in? What if the surgery failed? What if his mother could not recognize him anymore? What if people later took out old photos of him and used them to mock him?…
Just as he was thinking, Chen Youzai suddenly saw a row of people standing at the entrance of the plastic surgery clinic. All of them were smiling at him, speaking in a tone of salvation as they said, “Sir, would you like to come in for plastic surgery?”
Chen Youzai instantly felt so ashamed that his face and ears flushed red, but he still adjusted himself and said to those people in a frivolous tone, “Does someone like me still need plastic surgery?”
Everyone froze in that instant. Then, in perfect unison, they swallowed and turned back into the plastic surgery clinic.
Chen Youzai felt that he was already on the verge of despair. No one could understand the psychological pressure he had endured for eighteen years, and no one cared how he smiled in front of others and cried behind their backs. Seeing that his bitter days were about to pass, Chen Youzai suddenly did not know how to face it.
Think about the good days. Think about the infatuated eyes of all those beautiful girls when they see me in the future. Think about the girl I secretly like abandoning her boyfriend to come find me… Chen Youzai narrowed his eyes and chuckled aloud. Then he felt his bag being tugged. He abruptly lowered his head and discovered that both his hands were empty. Looking around again, he spotted a figure not far away fleeing at full speed.
“Catch the thief!!!!” Chen Youzai roared and ran into the distance.
Chen Youzai looked around in every direction. What place was this? How had he chased and chased until he no longer recognized the road? His heart grew colder by waves, because the farther he went, the more gloomy and eerie the surroundings seemed. At this point, Chen Youzai could no longer care about the money. He directly turned around and sprinted back along the road he had come from, only to find more and more forks in the path, each more complicated than the last. Cold sweat broke out across Chen Youzai’s forehead. Could he have wandered into a nature reserve?
In the end, Chen Youzai stopped to rest beside a large lake. This place seemed rather peaceful. Surely some wild beast would not suddenly leap out, right? Thinking this, Chen Youzai sat down along the lakeshore, preparing to take out his phone and call the police. In the end, when he felt his pocket, he remembered that his phone had also been inside the stolen bag. Chen Youzai slapped his forehead and panted irritably beside the lake.
Suddenly, he seemed to hear someone shouting. Chen Youzai immediately perked up. Could there be someone as unlucky as him? But that was fine too. Maybe they could keep each other company on the way back. Thinking this, Chen Youzai began searching for the source of the voice.
In the end, his gaze fixed on the middle of the lake, and Chen Youzai discovered that someone had fallen into the water. He himself knew how to swim, but he did not know how deep the lake was, so it was better to be cautious. Although Chen Youzai was full of resentment toward this society, he was not yet so far gone that he would refuse to save someone from death when it was within his ability. Besides, this person might know the way back.
