The playground was filled with Phoenix Trees.
In the summer, the leaves were lush, and sunlight filtered through the gaps, casting a sprinkle of light on the ground.
Li Zhan stood there, stepping into the light.
He said, " Min, why are you so late?"
Indeed, why was I so late?
In my past life, I arrived too late, allowing you and Huo Yan to become the good brothers who suffered so much in the eyes of others.
Later, you held my hand and vowed, " Min, trust me. One day, I will show you my strength."
In that life, I never got to see your strength before I died.
This time around, I intend to see just what kind of strength you possess.
I curled my lips into a smile and said, "Li Zhan, let's break up."
Li Zhan's face turned pale. " Min, you..."
I smiled brightly. "I don't want to be entangled with the son of a mistress anymore, is that okay?"
Li Zhan was stunned.
Zhu Qian leaned over and whispered, "Niu Xinmin, have you lost your mind?"
I touched my nose and realized I had spoken too freely again.
Yes, I was no longer the straightforward and passionate Niu Xinmin who liked Li Zhan in my past life.
I had died once.
I am now Niu Hulu Xinmin.
As long as Huo Yan didn't show up, I knew she wasn't a petty person.
Or rather, while she could be petty, she cared more about her own reputation.
As long as Huo Yan didn't make the first move, I wouldn't either.
I had plenty of patience to wait her out.
I understood her thoughts well enough to wait patiently for her next move.
It had been three long days of waiting. Finally, Saturday arrived.
That evening, my family held an extravagant birthday banquet for my eighteenth birthday. The lights sparkled, and glasses clinked in celebration. I stood at the entrance of the hall, a smile brightening my face. "Brother, you called for me?"
Niu Xinyan wore a stern expression as he pulled me to a secluded corner. "Niu Xinmin, what’s going on with you lately?"
I blinked innocently. "What do you mean?"
He glared at me. "You've been bullying your classmates and insulting your friends. What do you have to say about that?"
Suddenly enlightened, I replied, "Oh, you're talking about that."
Niu Xinyan immediately took out a ruler. "So you admit it?"
I shook my head. "I haven't done anything."
He scoffed coldly. "Then how do you explain the injuries on Huo Yan? And what about the slap mark on Li Zhan's face?"
I feigned innocence. "How would I know?"
Niu Xinyan's face turned pale with anger. "Get down on your knees!"
I raised an eyebrow. "Kneel where?"
He gritted his teeth in frustration. "Right here!"
Looking around, I noticed that quite a few guests had gathered nearby, holding their drinks and watching with eager expressions.
I smiled and slowly knelt down. "If you want me to kneel, fine, but there has to be a reason, right?"
Niu Xinyan snapped, "You’ve bullied your classmates and even resorted to violence—what more reason do you need?"
I shook my head defiantly. "Not enough."
His expression shifted slightly. "What do you mean…"
I pushed him aside and glanced past Niu Xinyan at what lay behind him.
Huo Yan stood right behind him, her clear, bright eyes fixed on me.
Her gaze was innocent, but her words were anything but: "Xinmin, I know you don't think much of me, but I am your elder..."
"You’re nothing but a joke of an elder."
Huo Yan's face turned pale, tears welling up in her eyes. "Xinmin, do you really look down on me that much?"
Li Zhan stepped forward, shielding Huo Yan behind him. "Xinmin, you're going too far."
I raised an eyebrow. "How am I going too far?"
Li Zhan replied, "You insulted Yan and you owe her an apology."
I chuckled. "What did I even say to her?"
Li Zhan said, "You called her a dog."
I shook my head, a look of pity on my face. "If you can't even understand human language, it seems you really are a dog."
Both Li Zhan and Huo Yan's expressions darkened significantly.
