My Healing Games

Chapter 574 Two Hidden Achievements
Carrying his dirty schoolbag, Fu Sheng stood there until Han Fei's figure disappeared into the hospital.

"He wouldn't let me near the hospital because he didn't want me to see him in such a disheveled state?"

After his biological mother passed away, Fu Sheng completely shut himself off, refusing to communicate with the outside world and living in his own world.

In fact, he was right to do so. If he stepped out of his own world, he would see the beastly things Fu Yi did. He always felt that the world around him was full of filth, so he simply locked himself up.

Ignore it, ignore it, and don't think about it.

But just recently, when the sounds of arguing at home turned into Fu Tian's laughter, Fu Sheng tried looking out at the world outside the room and saw a different side of his father.

There were no angry reprimands, no forced demands, no more going out to party and have fun, and no more arguing or smashing things at home.

His father had changed; he was now gentle, steady, and reliable, as if even if the sky were to fall, his father would stand tall and support the family.

Fu Sheng hesitated. He was just peeking out through the crack in the door when a beam of light shone into his closed room.

As the door slowly opened, Fu Sheng seemed to see his father reaching out his hand, trying to pull him out of all his misfortune and pain.

Countless disappointments made Fu Sheng unable to believe his father, but slowly, when he came to his senses, he found that he had already walked out of the room and was standing beside his father.

“Being a caregiver is very tiring. You have to clean up after patients, and you get scolded if you don’t take good care of them. Your dad looks to be over thirty, right? It’s not easy for him to come here as a caregiver at that age. I saw him struggling to stand just now, so I guess he’s not in very good health.” The uncle selling boxed lunches walked up to Fu Sheng and gave him a boxed lunch: “Take this and eat it. Don’t let your dad worry. It’s getting cloudy, and it’ll probably rain in a while. You should go back to school quickly.”

"I'll give you money."

"Why should I pay you? It's not expensive." The uncle waved his hand in refusal.

Holding his boxed lunch, Fu Sheng arrived at the roadside, forgetting how he got on the bus.

He only snapped out of his daze when he heard the radio in the car, and hurriedly grabbed his schoolbag and got off the bus.

Before he knew it, he was back at the bus stop in front of his house. He had never considered the room where his stepmother, brother, and father lived as his own home, but when he had mixed feelings, he would still unconsciously return here.

"It seems that he stopped yelling at me from a certain day onwards."

Looking at the school in the distance, Fu Sheng was really conflicted. There were many reasons why he didn't want to go to this place, and being bullied was just one of them.

The sky gradually darkened, and dark clouds gathered, obscuring the sunlight.

Fu Sheng carried his schoolbag and slowly walked towards the school, many terrible memories flashing through his mind.

His desk was covered in drawings, his homework was stolen, and his classmates pointed at him and called him a weirdo.

The teachers, who were supposed to maintain order, ignored him, and every time his parents were called in, he was the one who got slandered.

From the principal to the teachers, everyone seemed to want to get rid of him.

The place where my classmate hit me no longer hurts, but my brain still remembers the feeling of being hit.

The only person in the school who spoke up for him was Liu Lina, but Fu Sheng was well aware of the relationship between Teacher Liu and his father, and Teacher Liu's good intentions only made him feel more pained.

He was just a high school student, at an age when he should have been focused on his studies, but instead he encountered one terrible thing after another.

Everyone unrelated to him stood against him. The only teacher willing to help him had that special relationship with his father. Whenever he thought of this, he felt it would be better if everyone spoke ill of him, making him completely lose the last bit of goodwill he had for this world.

The most agonizing thing is struggling with unrealistic fantasies when you can't see any hope at all.

When he was almost at the school gate, Fu Sheng stopped; he couldn't go any further.

“Isn’t school a place for learning? I can learn on my own. I don’t actually need anyone. I can do my best on my own. Even if I went to a lonely world full of ghosts and I was all alone, I could still live better than I do now.”

A raindrop fell on Fu Sheng's hair. He could rush into the school classroom to take shelter from the rain, or he could run back to his nearby home to take shelter from the rain, or he could leave alone to find a corner to take shelter from the rain.

For Fu Sheng, the three different choices correspond to obeying his father, trusting his family, and maintaining the status quo.

Raindrops slowly dampened the ground, and the students and pedestrians around began to run. Fu Sheng's hand, which was holding his schoolbag, gradually tightened, and then slowly loosened.

He didn't move forward, nor did he want to leave like this.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Fu Sheng's hair was already soaked. He watched the raindrops fall from the sky and eventually shatter on the ground, and finally decided to run away.

But just as he turned around, the raindrops seemed to be blocked, sliding down the edge of the black umbrella and no longer wetting his clothes.

A black umbrella was held over Fu Sheng's head, and Teacher Liu, whose hair and shoulders were soaked, stood next to Fu Sheng.

"Teacher Liu?"

"The rain is too heavy, let's go inside to take shelter from the rain." Teacher Liu held up an umbrella: "You're finally back. Many people in this school, including myself, have been waiting for you to come back."

"teacher……"

"Every time it rained, you would run to the playground and hold an umbrella over a sapling. At that time, I couldn't understand what you were doing at all. But now I understand." Teacher Liu said thank you softly.

Fu Sheng looked at Teacher Liu, who was holding an umbrella for him but ended up getting soaked herself and her hair. Just as he was about to say something, it seemed like someone was waving at him from a distance.

Looking towards the end of the rain curtain, the simply dressed old principal stood beside a sapling in a corner of the playground. He smiled and waved, signaling Fu Sheng to walk forward.

His feet moved forward unconsciously. When Fu Sheng held an umbrella over that sapling, he never thought about these things.

He simply wanted to hold an umbrella for them because he had been caught in the rain himself, nothing more.

After walking through the rain, Fu Sheng and Teacher Liu entered the school.

From afar, a female student came running up the steps in front of the teaching building. She was happier to see Fu Sheng than to see anyone else.

Fu Sheng, who had never smiled before, relaxed his tense lips slightly and revealed a faint smile after seeing the female student with twisted limbs.

After walking through the corridor, Fu Sheng arrived at the classroom door. Before he even got there, he saw a large, fat man being pushed out of the classroom.

The fat boy fell to the ground, his school uniform zipper was torn, and his back was covered with various patterns drawn with a pen, with someone writing "son of a murderer" on it.

After he collapsed, several male students in the class chased after him laughing, but as soon as they saw Teacher Liu and Fu Sheng, they immediately became obedient and quickly ran back to their seats.

The fat man who once led the bullying of Fu Sheng had lost his former arrogance. He covered his swollen face and it took him a long time to get up.

"When you bully others, have you ever thought that one day you might be bullied like that yourself?"

Fu Sheng ignored the fat man; he didn't want to be bullied, nor did he like to bully others.

Back in the classroom, Fu Sheng sat down in his seat. Originally, there was a pile of trash next to his seat, but now the trash pile had been moved to Fatty's side.

He looked at the brand-new desks and chairs, while his classmates all looked at him.

The mockery and malice were gone from everyone's eyes; only curiosity, apology, and a trace of fear remained.

Fu Sheng knew that his father had hit the principal, but he didn't expect his classmates to become so well-behaved now.

What exactly did Fu Yi do at school?

After opening the book, Fu Sheng suddenly turned his head to look at the windowsill beside him, and then pulled the chair away from the windowsill.

The girl with twisted limbs sat on the windowsill, her upper body almost touching Fu Sheng, her hands waving in front of Fu Sheng's eyes, as if to say - pay attention to me, pay attention to me.

Perhaps due to excessive movement, the girl's wrist suddenly slipped off after a few shakes, and her entire hand fell onto Fu Sheng's textbook.

Taking a deep breath, Fu Sheng took out his pen and wrote in the book: "Don't move around during class, listen carefully. I'll study math, physics, and chemistry, and you can study the other subjects. When it comes to the college entrance exam, I'll take you with me."

As the school bell rang, Fu Sheng's first class back at school was about to begin.

……

"Attention player number 0000! Congratulations on completing the hidden achievement - Help Fu Sheng return to school! Fu Sheng's hatred has decreased by one! Mother's hatred has decreased by one!"

"Attention player number 0000! Congratulations on completing the hidden achievement - Helping Fu Sheng smile! Fu Sheng's hatred decreased by one! Mother's hatred decreased by two!"

Han Fei, who was cleaning, suddenly heard a system notification. He was slightly taken aback, then nodded.

"He was a kind and sensible child, but I never imagined that such a person would choose to destroy the entire Deep World in the end."
