Chen Yaoning stood like a statue on the roadside not far from the county's No. 1 Primary School, as if waiting for the green light to turn on.

However, when the green light came on, she seemed to be frozen in place, not crossing the road, but staring blankly at the warm family of three on the other side of the road.

The little girl, like a pretty and lovely flower, had just stepped out of the school gate when she saw her parents. She ran over to them happily like a little deer and rushed into her mother's warm embrace.

The girl's mother is 1.7 meters tall, dressed simply, with shoulder-length short hair that is as smooth as silk, with clear and natural lines, like a beautiful painting.

She stood amidst the group of parents at the school gate, like a noble crane, attracting much attention, with students waving goodbye to her from time to time.

Standing next to a man who was about 1.8 meters tall, their figures were so well-matched that they seemed like a match made in heaven.

The man, dressed in navy blue suit trousers and a blue police uniform shirt, looked dashing and clearly a policeman.

Without a doubt, this family enjoys a very comfortable life. The husband and wife are both employed as a primary school teacher and a police officer, respectively, and both have secure government jobs.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yaoning completely broke down.

"Heh~ Heh heh." Chen Yaoning lowered her head slightly and couldn't help but let out a cold laugh filled with grief and indignation.

Her once gentle, almond-shaped eyes, the moment she lowered her head, seemed to burst into tears, threatening to spill over.

Seemingly unable to bear the inner pain, her body involuntarily leaned towards the railing beside her.

Someone nearby saw this and, thinking the girl was unwell, hurriedly asked with concern, "Girl, are you alright? If you're not feeling well, do you need me to help you?"

Passersby cautiously inquired, afraid of misunderstanding.

"Thank you, I'm fine, just a bit of heatstroke." Chen Yaoning looked up at the passersby, a hint of kindness in her fragile eyes after being shown concern.

Passersby were stunned by her beauty when they saw her looking at them.

The girl was wearing a sun hat, making it difficult for passersby to see her face clearly.

Now, as she looks up, her pure and sweet face and clean and beautiful temperament are like a dazzling rainbow, instantly capturing the attention of passersby.

When the passerby came to his senses and saw that she was unharmed, he sincerely said, "It's good that you're alright, you look so beautiful," then smiled a little shyly and turned to leave.

The scene Chen Yaoning had just witnessed had triggered a wave of shock and grief, causing her heart to clench painfully, almost unbearably.

"..." How ironic! She had only heard from others that she was assigned to teach at a primary school because of her family connections, but seeing it with her own eyes made it all the more ironic.

It turns out that the only ones who can't let go are the victims.

A former bully has now transformed into a teacher who educates and nurtures students? Isn't that ridiculous?

That arrogant, domineering, and aggressive person who pointed at the teacher and hurled insults at her, even threatening to kick her out of school in a heartbeat…

How could someone who would slap you if you just walked right past her become a beacon illuminating a student's future?

Schools should be sacred places for teaching and nurturing! Cradles for shaping the complete souls of young minds! Places for spreading knowledge and morality! Not hell, much less a gathering place for demons!

But she was simply going against the natural order and acting against the tide!

The more Chen Yaoning thought about it, the more panicked she became. Suddenly, she felt as if she had been hit in the chest with a heavy hammer, making it difficult to breathe. It was as if all the strength in her body had been drained away, and her body was being swallowed up by fear and anger.

Finally, she could no longer bear it, her body slowly collapsed, and she fainted.

While unconscious, Chen Yaoning's last regret was... that her enemy was safe and sound, while she was powerless to help! How unwilling she was.

……

When Chen Yaoning opened her eyes again, she found herself in a place that was both strange and familiar.

She recalled her feelings before she fell into a coma—was it despair or resentment after despair?

Yao Ning hadn't figured out where she was or what was going on when she heard a voice from the side.

"You're awake? How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?" A deep, magnetic voice came from beside her. Chen Yaoning slowly turned her head and saw a tall, handsome, middle-aged man with rimless glasses and a well-tailored suit.

Chen Yaoning hadn't recovered from her physical discomfort, so her mind was a little sluggish.

She looked closely at the man in front of her. His mature and steady demeanor, the confidence and composure he exuded, made him look like someone who had been in a high position for many years.

Every detail of the suit is like a finely crafted work of art, constantly highlighting his status, making him look like a gentle, refined, and well-mannered gentleman.

Chen Yaoning's dizziness had just subsided a little when she responded to the man's question, forcing a smile as she asked, "And you are?"

The man's name was Yan Zhiming. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the little girl wake up.

Yan Zhiming looked at the girl lying quietly on the bed. Her skin was as white as snow, her fine and long eyelashes trembled gently, and her slightly furrowed brows seemed to express the pain between her brows.

Her wrists were as slender as fragile porcelain, as if they could break with the slightest force.

The girl was undoubtedly beautiful. She was born with exquisite features, and her eyes, which should have been lively, now only showed fragility. Her gentle smile was like shattered crystal, beautiful yet heartbreaking.

For some reason, Yan Zhiming felt a pang of pity when he looked at the girl, but that was all.

He then introduced himself: "Young comrade, hello. My name is Yan Zhiming. Just now, at the bookstore entrance, I saw you suddenly collapse, so my driver and I took you to a nearby hospital. Since you weren't awake, we couldn't leave early. Now that you're awake, shouldn't we notify your family?"

When Yao Ning heard him talk about his family, she subconsciously shook her head. Family? Yao Ning smiled bitterly. How could her family care about her?

But she still said, "Thank you for your help. I'm already awake, so I won't trouble you any further. Could you please tell me your address? I'll come and thank you in person when I have time."

Yan Zhiming noticed that the girl was averse to talking about family and wondered if she didn't have any family. But he didn't want to ask her directly.

Just then, a nurse came over and saw that Yao Ning had woken up. She said, "You're awake. Young people should take care of their health. Your irregular eating habits caused stomach cramps. Be careful in the future and don't hurt your stomach. Your IV drip is finished, so you can go home now and just rest."
