Luo Chuan walked into Sun Changguo's antique shop.

As always, the shop is filled with a dazzling array of antiques, exuding an old and mysterious atmosphere.

Sun Changguo was wiping a piece of porcelain behind the counter when he saw Luo Chuan come in, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

As soon as Luo Chuan stepped into the shop, he keenly sensed a powerful aura of spiritual energy rushing towards him.

He felt a chill run down his spine, and his gaze quickly swept around the store before finally settling on Sun Changguo.

"Mr. Sun, have you acquired any new antiques in your shop recently?"

Within the Xuanmen (Taoist) community, a few antiques, due to their antiquity, often absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, becoming treasures sought after by Xuanmen members.

After hearing Luo Chuan's words, Sun Changguo put down the porcelain in his hand, turned around and took out an exquisite box from a hidden compartment in the counter.

He opened the box, took out a talisman from inside, and handed it to Luo Chuan with a smug look on his face.

"No, but take a look at this."

Luo Chuan took the talisman, glanced at it, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"It's a high-level talisman! Boss Sun, where did you get it?"

His eyes were filled with surprise and envy as he gently stroked the talisman, feeling the powerful spiritual energy emanating from it.

High-level talismans are extremely rare and contain powerful and unique spiritual energy.

They only have three cards in their bureau! And they're nowhere near as good as this one.

Sun Changguo did not reveal his cooperation with Lu Rou.

"I can't disclose that."

Every profession has its rules, and Luo Chuan understands that.

Although it's a peace charm and has no effect on ghosts, bringing it back to the police station would definitely cause a stir.

"Mr. Sun, can you sell this to me?"

Sun Changguo replied without hesitation: "No problem."

"Mr. Sun, see you next time."

"Walk slowly."

After paying, Luo Chuan left in a hurry.

……

"There's nothing else, you can go back now."

Just as Yao Xiaoqi was about to leave, Teacher Shao called her back.

"Xiaoqi, could you please give this test paper to Xiao Ji in Class 1 for me?"

"it is good."

After receiving the teacher's instructions, Yao Xiaoqi walked towards Class 1's classroom.

At the classroom door, she shyly stopped a boy who was about to enter the classroom and asked him a question.

"Is Xiao Ji here? I'm here to deliver the exam papers to him."

The boy pointed to Xiao Ji, who was organizing his books in the back row of the classroom.

Yao Xiaoqi took a deep breath and walked towards Xiao Ji. She looked at the bespectacled, seemingly refined young man in front of her and whispered.

"Xiao Ji, Teacher Shao asked me to give you the test paper."

As he spoke, he handed over the test paper in his hand.

Xiao Ji looked up and politely accepted the test paper.

"Okay, please."

Yao Xiaoqi nodded slightly, turned around and quickly left the classroom. She had to hurry back to attend the next class.

……

After school, Yao Xiaoqi was cornered in the storage room behind the classroom by Ming Dandan and her group.

Ming Dandan grabbed Yao Xiaoqi's hair and pulled her head back forcefully.

"Hmph, look at your shabby appearance, you still dare to dream of Xiao Ji?"

A sharp pain shot through Yao Xiaoqi's scalp, forcing her to tilt her head back. Her eyes were filled with terror and anger, but she dared not utter a sound.

She was a girl from an ordinary family who was admitted to the private No. 1 Middle School for free because of her excellent grades. Ming Dandan was the daughter of the vice principal, so she couldn't be offended.

“Say something! Why did you try to seduce him?”

Huizhen, the sidekick next to Yao Xiaoqi, slapped her first and then pushed her hard.

Yao Xiaoqi's frail body fell like a kite with a broken string onto the ground piled with clutter, dust rising up and making her cough.

“I didn’t,” she explained, her voice trembling.

“My men saw it, and you still say you didn’t.”

"Teacher Shao instructed me to give him the test paper, and that was all."

Ming Dandan sneered and signaled her men to search Yao Xiaoqi's schoolbag.

They threw all her books and notebooks on the ground, trampled on them, and smashed her art supplies, which she had painstakingly saved up to buy.

"You're never allowed to appear in front of him again, or this will be your fate!"

After saying this fiercely, Ming Dandan led her group away.

Yao Xiaoqi looked at the mess on the ground, tears welling up in her eyes.

She silently crouched down and reached out her trembling hands to pick up the things that could still be salvaged.

Just then, Xiao Ji happened to be passing by. He walked up to her with a puzzled look and helped Yao Xiaoqi pick up the broken stationery.

"Hey kid, what happened to you? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

However, this scene was captured on camera and sent to Ming Dandan.

……

Yao Xiaoqi dragged her heavy steps into the house, her head hanging low, trying to cover the glaring red mark on her face with her hair.

As soon as she entered the house, Yao's mother's keen eyes noticed something amiss.

"Xiaoqi, what happened to your face?"

Yao's mother anxiously stepped forward, gently lifted Yao Xiaoqi's chin, and examined the clear red mark.

Mr. Yao also came out of the kitchen upon hearing the noise, his eyes filled with worry.

Yao Xiaoqi's heart tightened, and she hurriedly broke free from her mother's hand, managing to force a smile.

"Mom, it's nothing. I bumped into the door by accident. It hurts a little, but it's fine now."

She tried to make her voice sound natural, but her slightly trembling tone betrayed her unease.

Mrs. Yao frowned, her face full of suspicion, clearly not believing her story.

"You rammed the door and it got like this? Xiaoqi, were you bullied?"

Mr. Yao nodded in agreement, his eyes fixed on Yao Xiaoqi, waiting for her answer.

Yao Xiaoqi's heart suddenly raced. She dared not look her parents in the eye and could only turn her gaze to the side.

"It really was a door-breaking incident, stop making wild guesses. I'm hungry, let's eat first."

As she spoke, she walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

The parents exchanged a glance, sighed helplessly, and sat down at the dining table.

The once steaming hot food on the table now tastes bland and unappetizing.

Yao Xiaoqi mechanically shoveled rice into her bowl, but didn't swallow it, staring blankly at one spot.

After dinner, Yao Xiaoqi went back to her room first. Yao Yao's mother looked at her daughter's lonely and slightly thin back, her brows furrowed, her eyes full of worry and heartache.

After Yao Xiaoqi's bedroom door was gently closed, Yao's mother could no longer suppress her doubts and unease, and hurriedly pulled Yao's father to a corner of the living room.

“Our daughter has definitely been bullied.”

Yao's mother's voice was filled with urgency and determination, and her eyes were slightly red.

“Look at her condition today, there are still such obvious red marks on her face, how could she have bumped into the door as she said?”

As she spoke, Yao's mother unconsciously twisted her hands, her face growing increasingly sorrowful.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Yao's eyes widened, his facial muscles tensed, and his originally gentle expression was instantly replaced by anger.

"Anyone who dares to bully our daughter, I'll punch them."

His voice was deep and powerful, like that of an enraged lion, and his fist clenched unconsciously as he forcefully swung it in the air.

……

Tomorrow is the weekend, no school.

Yao Xiaoqi entered Lu Rou's live broadcast room on time.

As soon as she entered, she skillfully typed out a greeting on the screen and warmly greeted her fans.

[Pink Memories: Good evening, Sister Lu~ Good evening, everyone~]

The live stream was bustling with activity, with fans' comments scrolling rapidly.

Lu Rou's voice came from the phone.

"Welcome to today's live stream, everyone. Today I'd like to talk about a movie that's been very popular lately, about school bullying—'Silent Kill'."

A strange feeling welled up in Yao Xiaoqi's heart, and she stared intently at Lu Rou.

"This film profoundly portrays the cruelty and harm of school bullying, showing how the victims struggle in the dark, often going unnoticed by the outside world."

In real life, such incidents are not uncommon, and many people may be unknowingly suffering the infringement of their rights.

Yao Xiaoqi felt a strong sense of resonance as she recalled her own experience that day.

Helplessness and fear are still etched in her mind.

So she quickly typed in the comments section.

Pink Memories: What if we can't fight back?

"When faced with overwhelming malice, the first thing to do is protect yourself and survive. Then seek help from trusted teachers, parents, or friends."

If you are unfortunately a victim of school bullying, you must find light in the darkness and not suffer alone, because a moment of forbearance may result in endless humiliation from the other party.

Yao Xiaoqi had some insights and shared them.
