I was stunned, staring blankly at Si Xiang.
Twenty-five-year-old Gao Ming.
Twenty-five-year-old Gao Ming!
Si Xiang stood up and closed her eyes.
A tear rolled down from the corner of her eye: "I know you must have looked down on me."
"But I still couldn't help but come to see you."
"Gao Ming, you can hit me or scold me. I just ask you, please don't ignore me anymore."
"I'm not the sixteen-year-old Gao Ming, and I won't fight."
"Gao Ming, you admitted it."
Si Xiang walked towards me step by step, a sarcastic smile on her lips.
"You finally admitted it."
"Gao Ming, you used to be timid, you didn't even dare to fight."
Si Xiang's hands gripped my shoulders tightly, shaking me vigorously: "Gao Ming, who are you really?"
I looked at Si Xiang and said calmly: "I'm not the sixteen-year-old Gao Ming; I'm the twenty-five-year-old Gao Ming."
Si Xiang released her grip, the light in her eyes extinguished.
I chuckled softly: "Besides, I didn't have a dad when I was young, and my mom didn't care about me. It was Si Nian who protected me; that's why I wouldn't fight."
Si Xiang looked at me, her emotions complex.
Her voice choked: "Gao Ming, you don't care about me and don't want to invest any feelings in me anymore."
"I don't care about anything; I don't look at anything."
Si Xiang desperately questioned me: "Gao Ming, can you erase everything from the past with just one sentence?"
I looked up at Si Xiang: "I am dead."
Si Xiang paused for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, walking over to my side and bending down to whisper in my ear: "Gao Ming, do you know how ugly you'll look as a corpse after you die?"
"Do you really not care at all?"
I looked at Si Xiang expressionlessly. "What is there to care about?"
I had long since abandoned the emotion of anger.
Si Xiang stared at me for a while, then said, "Gao Ming, you are a monster."
After saying that, Si Xiang got up and left.
Si Nian came in again.
As she reached the doorway, she overheard me and Si Xiang talking about something related to corpses.
"What corpse?"
"Turning someone into a corpse."
Si Nian snorted coldly, looking down at me. "Next time you get into a fight, I'll kill you first."
I pretended not to hear Si Nian's words.
Si Nian wasn't angry; she asked again, "Is that injury okay?"
I shook my head. "It's fine."
Why was Si Nian expelled?
Fighting?
Of course not.
Si Nian was expelled due to an accident.
At that time, a little boy was assaulted, and Si Nian was mistaken for the perpetrator.
The situation was that a boy ran out of an alley in disarray.
The boy was panicked and ran onto the road, where he was hit by a car.
Si Nian also ran out.
Since there were no surveillance cameras at the scene, no one believed what Si Nian said.
The boy became a vegetable, and Si Nian became the murderer.
Although Si Nian kept explaining that she was just trying to save that boy, without evidence, she found herself unable to defend herself. Si Nian's parents were very disappointed in her and forced her to drop out of school, taking her back home. The the Si Family used their influence to suppress the matter, so the outside world only knew that Si Nian was not a good person.
"Si Nian went to save someone," Old Zhang said, angrily slapping his thigh when mentioning Si Nian's expulsion. "Those two bastard parents only care about Si Xiang."
"Si Xiang's parents are animals," Old Zhang said, clearly furious and swearing a lot. Old Zhang was friends with Si Nian's mother, so he knew Si Nian very well.
"Although Si Nian has a bad temper, she has a good heart. She always felt that you and she shared the same plight, so she looked out for you everywhere." Old Zhang sighed. "But Si Nian's parents sacrificed her for Si Xiang's health."
"They don't know how kind Si Nian is." Old Zhang asked me with red-rimmed eyes, "Does Si Nian often get into fights?"
I nodded. "Yes."
Old Zhang smiled bitterly. "Si Nian is just like you; both of you are overlooked individuals." I lowered my head in silence.
Si Nian and I were indeed very similar. We were both people who had been ignored.
