Chapter 0836 – No One Is Born Strong

　　After being punished twice on his first day of school, Chen Ge’s name quickly spread around campus.

　　He stood in front of his class with his bag in hand, and all of the students passing by were looking at him while he was sizing up those students as well.

　　”The task Chang Wenyu gave me is quite difficult, every student looks to have an abnormal side.”

　　The class bell rang and teacher Liu didn’t come back, so Chen Ge returned to the classroom very consciously.

　　He put the chair of the second smashed unconscious student on his seat and sat down comfortably.

　　The new teacher started the class, and Chen Ge didn’t listen to the lecture, taking out a pen and paper from his bag and starting to think about how to go about finding those children who were qualified to become door pushers.

　　He was lost in thought when the neighboring table suddenly reached over a small note with only two very short words on it – thank you.

　　Seeing Chen Ge was a bit of a surprise, in his opinion there was only despair and negativity left in the blood-red world behind the door, people here should not be able to say the two words thank you.

　　”Thank you for what, you were embarrassed by them because of me, of course I have to stand up for myself, this is what I should do.” Chen Ge turned his head and said at his tablemate Big Cake, but Big Cake didn’t dare to reply and kept his posture as if Chen Ge was talking to himself, there wasn’t any communication between him and Chen Ge.

　　”In fear?” Chen Ge knew the worry in Big Cake’s heart.

　　”Sorry.” After a long time, Big Cake handed over another note.

　　Chen Ge was smart this time, he took out a pen and wrote a few words on the back of the note.

　　”It’s fine, they’re too much, I can’t stand to see them.”

　　Returning the note, Big Cake saw it and put up his pen to write again, “Me too, but I don’t dare to resist, I don’t have any friends, no one to speak for me, the teacher only values academic performance, but then again, I’m stupid.”

　　The big cake’s note was full of helplessness between the lines.

　　”From now on you have friends, my name is Chen Ge, what about you?”

　　”Li Bing, because I have the word Bing in my name and my face is big and round, so they call me Big Cake.”

　　”Roger, I’ll remember.”

　　”Chen Ge, I’m sorry for earlier, I should have come forward. But I’m really scared, will you think I’m very cowardly too?”

　　”No one is born strong, besides, people’s character and cognition are extremely malleable, it’s a kind of adaptability to society and the environment in which they live, I know that you’re actually working very hard.” Chen Ge handed the note to Big Cake, a moment later he took out a new piece of paper and wrote a sentence on the front, “Can you talk to me about your past?”

　　Chen Ge suspected that Bing Li was one of the people he was trying to find, so he began to test the waters.

　　”What aspects do you mean?”

　　”About you, and the others in this class, when did they start bullying you?”

　　Looking at the contents of the note, Bing Li hesitated for a long time before moving his pen, and he wrote a very long paragraph and handed it to Chen Ge.

　　”My actual situation is different from what they say, my parents love me very much, so the things they say can’t hurt me at all, in my opinion they are just a bunch of devils who like to specialize in uncovering other people’s scars, they base their happiness on other people’s pain, this kind of thing will pass if you just endure it. After all, there are still teachers here, and they don’t dare to do anything to me. Chen Ge, I advise you to try not to clash with them in the future as well, they have their own little groups, and that guy you just smashed unconscious seems to know gangsters outside of school.”

　　The content on the note made Chen Ge feel a little bad in his heart, those who were bullied lost the courage to fight back and only thought of escaping, perhaps deep down they felt that they would grow up one day and leave this place one day, so they would just endure and get over it.

　　They don’t realize that some experiences will be engraved in their bones and become a lingering shadow in their minds. Whenever they think of it, even if they deny it in their hearts, they will still feel a trace of discomfort.

　　Chen Ge looked at the note, he did not refute Li Bing, a child in this situation what can be done?

　　Unarmed and isolated, when malice strikes, they are like being stripped naked and standing under the spotlight, with nowhere to run, they can only cover their only honorable use and endure in silence.

　　Seeing Chen Ge’s silence, Bing Li handed over a second note: “Just endure, if you resist, you may end up becoming like Yan Fei.”

　　”Who is Yan Fei?”

　　”The student who originally sat in your position.”

　　”Where is he now?”

　　”After that incident, Yan Fei dropped out of school.”

　　”He left the school?”

　　”No, he is still in the infirmary, it was his parents who helped him with the withdrawal procedure.” Li Bing followed up by handing Chen Ge a note: “He has already relieved himself, you must not bother him anymore.”

　　Chen Ge put away Bing Li’s note and moved his eyes between Bing Li and his own seat.

　　When he first entered the classroom, his own seat had been stepped on and was about to fall apart, there were all sorts of carvings on his desk, and the drawer was sticky and seemed to be stuffed with a lot of garbage.

　　These were all things that once happened to Yan Fei, and compared to Yan Fei, Li Bing’s situation was much more.

　　The person those bastards bullied was Yan Fei, and Li Bing was just a substitute they found after Yan Fei left.

　　The evil thoughts of the world behind the door were magnified, and the bad side of human nature was completely revealed, just by looking at the tables and chairs Yan Fei had used, one could probably understand those things that had happened to him.

　　”Was he in the infirmary because he was injured by those guys?” Chen Ge was pressing a fire in his heart, and he also long wondered why he was so angry, probably because of the inactive school or the bullies who lacked education.

　　”No.” Li Bing shook his head, tore off another page, wrote a few sentences and then secretly handed it to Chen Ge: “They have been bullying Yan Fei, targeting him at every turn, throwing his workbooks, breaking his desks and chairs, and scribbling on the hems of his book bag and clothes.”

　　”Why do they have to bully Yan Fei?” Chen Ge felt that Yan Fei was probably the person he was looking for and wanted to figure out Yan Fei’s past.

　　”I don’t know, Yan Fei lives in a very ordinary family, just like you and me, the only difference might just be that he has a stronger self-esteem, doesn’t like others to joke around, and is slightly out of touch. Maybe those guys just want to throw Yan Fei’s self-esteem into the ground and step on it hard as a way to fulfill some of their own psychology.”

　　”Yan Fei used to study quite well, moderately high, and then because of all sorts of things, his grades are getting worse and worse.”

　　”His parents were anxious, and his teachers became more and more indifferent to him.”

　　”Finally one day, when someone was fighting for his notebook, he fought with those people.”

　　”Yan Fei held back for a long time, but he was only one person after all, and was quickly pressed down.”

　　”Because it was in the classroom, the teacher quickly came over and pulled them apart.”

　　”Later when the teacher asked why it happened, many people were silent, and the few who opened their mouths were friends of the bullies, who said that they were just joking, and that Yan Fei’s pride was too strong to joke about it, and that he hit first.”
