Chapter 0841 – I’ll be that light
”My mom is one of the many children that grandpa adopted.” Sakurabaek’s eyes were beautiful and clear, “My mom was an abandoned child, her body was weak from a young age, and it wasn’t until she was adopted by her grandfather that things got better.”
”She was raised by her grandfather and stayed by his side until she was twenty years old when my mom met my father.”
”They had a very simple wedding and soon had me.”
”My mother’s health got worse after giving birth to me, and my father’s attitude towards my mother gradually changed.”
”Then my mother’s company closed down and she owed a lot of debt, and he was being chased for debt every day, often leaving me and my mother at home and running away by himself to avoid the debt.”
”He always said that the debt collectors wouldn’t give women and newborns a hard time, and only dared to come back in the middle of the night every few days.”
”It went on like that for months until the father stopped communicating with the family and never returned to that home.”
”Frightened with the children, knocked on the door and splattered with paint by debt collectors every day, finally one day the mother fell ill.”
”The doctor called the grandfather, and he realized that his adopted daughter was having a terrible time.”
”The gray-haired person takes good care of the black-haired person, which is not common in hospitals, and the mother’s health is getting worse and worse, and she wants to see her father once more, not for any so-called love, but just to give him a slap and ask him a question.”
”Her wish wasn’t granted until she died, and Grandpa felt a lot older again the night he sent her away.”
”Then I followed my grandfather to live, read, go to school ……” Sakurabaek said and lowered her head again, “I don’t want to give him trouble, I don’t want it.”
In Sakura Bai’s mouth, the old principal of Mureyang Middle School was a very good person, the evil and desires in human nature could hardly be seen in the old man, which also strengthened Chen Ge’s determination to find the other party.
”Your grandfather is really a very good person, do you know where he is now? I would like to see him for a while.” If he could know the way to leave the Ghost School, Chen Ge would no longer need to have any worries, and he would be invincible.
Sakurabaek shook her head, “He lives outside the school, always appearing when I’m most helpless and about to hold on, every time I see him I feel relieved.”
”Understood.” Chen Ge didn’t bother to ask anymore, the ghost school would soon be in chaos, the old principal would definitely come over to protect this granddaughter of his, so it was good for him to keep watch, “You rest well, I won’t bother you anymore.”
Closing the curtain, Chen Ge’s mind was filled with thoughts of the old principal, the other party had avoided him several times, this time he must not let go.
Only after leaving Sakura White’s bed did Chen Ge suddenly realize something, when the girl was recalling her past, she did not mention any information related to Sakura Red, it was as if there was no such person as Sakura Red in her life at all.
”Sakurahon’s presence is clearly present on the family photo, so why is this child ignoring her? What had happened amongst the sisters?”
Chen Ge felt that the reason why Sakura White had become the way she was now was most likely related to Sakura Red as well.
”Once we find the old principal, everything will be solved, let’s ignore them for now.” Remembering Sakura White’s bed, Chen Ge’s mind even entertained the idea of keeping Sakura White by his side for close protection, but considering that the doctor in the inner room was difficult to deal with, he gave up.
Continuing to check the ward, Chen Ge smelled a pungent medicinal odor as he passed the last bed.
Lifting the white cloth curtain, Chen Ge looked at the hospital bed, in which a very ordinary looking boy was lying flat on his back.
Both of his hands and legs were wrapped in bandages, his eyes were lifeless, staring blankly at the ceiling, and even if someone lifted the curtain, he didn’t have any reaction.
The boy didn’t seem to care about all the things happening in the outside world, just like a walking corpse.
”Yan Fei?”
Seeing the boy in this state, Chen Ge felt bad in his heart, this child was like all ordinary and mundane people, he was the epitome of a mass.
”I know you have a hard time in your heart, and I’m not here to persuade you, I just want to tell you that I helped you take revenge. I helped you beat up the person who bullied you, and I’ll teach them some more profound lessons when school is over.”
Facing different people and saying different things, Chen Ge wanted to quickly close the distance with Yan Fei, so he could only do so.
After he finished speaking, Yan Fei on the hospital bed still didn’t have any reaction and didn’t seem to be interested in anything.
Chen Ge tried to say a few more words, but no matter what he said, Yan Fei did not respond, and did not even move his body.
Unable to communicate, the task Chang Wenyu had given Chen Ge was much more difficult than expected.
Standing next to the hospital bed, Chen Ge was about to put his hand through the curtain to check what was wrong with Yan Fei’s body when the door to the room not far away was suddenly opened, as if the doctor had come out.
Time was limited, Chen Ge withdrew his hand, he looked at Yan Fei with a hint of regret.
”The darkness is there, even if you ignore it, it won’t disappear out of thin air, you either blend into them and become part of the darkness, or you become the light yourself and illuminate all the darkness.”
”I know you can hear me, and I know that you have resisted, and now I am sitting where you once sat, and what you have not done, I will do for you.”
”An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, I’ll come back to you when I’ve punished those who deserve it.”
Yan Fei’s situation was a lot more serious than what Chen Ge had imagined, he completely closed himself off, not talking, not communicating, probably only the knife cut on his body, that kind of primal pain could make him perceive that he was still alive.
”You’re not wrong, I’ll prove it to you.”
Chen Ge wanted to change this school, and the first thing he had to do was change the students’ perceptions.
After encountering or seeing their classmates suffer from school violence, silence could not solve any problems, only by standing up bravely could they protect themselves and others.
If all students could do this, then school violence would be stopped at the first sign of it.
Chen Ge didn’t expect other students to be like him, he just set himself up as a symbol, a man who dared to say no to campus violence in the ghost school.
Walking out of the infirmary, Chen Ge returned to his class.
The teacher on the podium swept him a glance and didn’t say anything else.
When the school bell rang, the teacher was the first to walk out of the classroom, and he seemed to have something urgent to deal with.
After the teacher left, a few students in the last row immediately scurried out of the classroom, they pointed at Chen Ge and seemed to be planning something.
”Don’t go back alone tonight, have your parents pick you up.” Bing Li slipped Chen Ge a note out of kindness and at great risk.
”If my parents really come over, I’m afraid they’ll just set this school off, but unfortunately, I haven’t seen them in a long time either.” Chen Ge sat in his seat and slowly packed up his textbooks.
”I’m not kidding you, there are a lot of them! You broke the rules of the game, they’ll all come together against you!” Bing Li was anxious, he seemed to have seen Chen Ge’s miserable end.
”Don’t worry, I’ve never been afraid of anyone more than a crowd.” Chen Ge stuffed the last book into his book bag and walked out of the classroom in large strides.
