"Child, if it weren't for grandma finding you, who knows how bad things could have gotten."
"Grandma, don't cry... I'm fine..."
"Silly child, you're still saying it's nothing. The doctor said the bones in your right hand are completely broken. You won't be able to hold a pen and write for at least six months. Even if it heals, it won't be the same as before. You're about to take the college entrance examination, what should we do..."
I raised my right hand, wrapped up like a zongzi, and no matter how hard I tried, I really couldn't feel my fingers.
I calculated the days in my mind and realized that the college entrance examination is only one month away. My right hand really can't write anymore.
I remembered the hard work I've put in over the past six months, and also what An Jiaojiao said to me last night before I passed out: "You want to change your destiny through the college entrance examination, right? I'll break your fingers and see how you can take the test. I want to see how you change your destiny!"
I forced a bitter smile, feeling like the heavens were really playing a trick on me.
Tears kept flowing uncontrollably, and Grandma Li couldn't help but cry even more as she looked at me.
I want to cheer up. I can't bear it anymore.
"Grandma, I want to make a phone call."
I took the phone and struggled to call the police with my left hand, and I told Uncle everything about what I had experienced.

An Jiaojiao and her sisters were all taken away by Uncle, along with other people who had bullied me at school.
Because my right hand has already reached the level of secondary disability, and that night I cleverly recorded the audio, coupled with the recent new regulations issued by the country, this time they can no longer use the three words "minor" as a protective umbrella.
Everyone has received the punishment they deserve.
The ringleader An Jiaojiao was directly sent to the detention center. The high-priced overseas offer she obtained earlier also fell through. Her parents come to me every now and then to ask me to sign a settlement agreement, but she has ruined my lifelong prospects. How could such a thing be settled?
After the incident, the school's teachers paid special attention to campus bullying issues. Because of the Dean of Students and the homeroom teacher's long-standing attitude of turning a deaf ear, the education bureau removed them from their positions.
The new Dean of Students encourages everyone who has experienced campus bullying to speak out about their experiences. With my example in the past and the regulations in place, the students who have been bullied finally dare to speak up for themselves.
The campus atmosphere has become clean and fresh again, returning to the place filled with sunshine and hope. After that, I never saw Gu Tianqi again, only heard from a few classmates that he went abroad.
But I saw him the day before the college entrance examination.
"What's up, are you here to see me?"
"Is your hand feeling better?"
"It's not going to get better. I'm disabled now."
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
"It's not your fault. It's their own doing, and besides, they have already been punished."
"At first, I vowed to protect you, but now..."
"Don't say that. Aren't we both getting what we want from each other?"
"Yu Zhiyao, don't say that."
"We are using each other, why make it so sentimental now? We are people from two different worlds, right?"
"Yu Zhiyao, you clearly know that I like you. Even if you are afraid to accept me, even if you want to push me away, you don't have to say such hurtful words."
"You've misunderstood me. I am just such a heartless and unfeeling person."
"I'm leaving tomorrow, don't be like this."
"Go live your rich second-generation life in the United States, there's really nothing for you to be entangled with someone like me who has no background, no looks, and is still disabled."
"Yu Zhiyao, I'm sorry. I know I disappointed you by not showing up that night. I don't expect your forgiveness, but please, you must take a look at this. I'm begging you."
After Gu Tianqi finished speaking, he handed me a USB drive. I took it and immediately turned away, allowing my tears to fall without Gu Tianqi seeing.
