The boy under the maple leaves (Jiang Fengyu (attack) school bully 17 years old) & the academic bully under the tip of the pen (Lin Yibai (sufferer) school bully 17 years old)
For five-year-old Lin Yibai, the sky outside the iron railings of the orphanage was gray until a couple squatted down and held him with warm hands. He could have had a home with warm lights and fairy tales, but on his sixth birthday, the sun was exceptionally bright. His adoptive mother took his hand to buy ice cream, and the harsh sound of brakes suddenly tore apart the afternoon tranquility. The second-generation rich man who caused the accident drove away, leaving his adoptive mother lying in a pool of blood. The ice cream was scattered all over the floor, and the melted milk stains mixed with dust became the memory he dared not touch in his life.
From that day on, his adoptive father poured out all his grievances on him. The crisp sound of the broken wine bottle, the burning pain of the cigarette butt, and the fists and feet falling on his back made him huddle in the corner and tremble at night. When he was thirteen years old, he grabbed a few pieces of change that he had saved for a long time and escaped from the home that had lost its warmth late at night.
Fortunately, he met a kind person who took him in. In the days that followed, he studied questions under the light of the store late at night - he wanted to escape from the shadow of the past by reading, and wanted to show his adoptive mother in heaven that he had not been defeated.
During the high school entrance examination, he was admitted to the best high school in the city and became the "most powerful academic" in the eyes of his teachers. The day he got the admission notice, he cried for a long time, but in his sophomore year of high school, in order to save the high tuition fees, he took the initiative to apply to transfer to Qingyuan High School.
Jiang Fengyu is the most eye-catching "school bully" in Qinglan High School.
An empty home all year round: His parents are busy discussing business at home and abroad and cannot see each other a few times a year. Even on his birthday, he only asks the housekeeper to give him a gift. The only two sentences in the video call are "do you have enough money?" And "don't cause trouble."
He is used to wrapping up his loneliness with unruliness: sleeping with his school uniform on his shoulders during class, nonchalantly standing in front of someone when they are being bullied, and his reputation as "not easy to mess with" spread throughout the campus.
But no one knew that every day after school, he would take a detour to the park, sit on a bench in the maple forest, and watch the maple leaves falling on the grass. What he looked forward to was never the money from his parents, but the tangible and visible family love.
In the afternoon of his senior year of high school, Lin Yibai clutched his notebook and called Jiang Fengyu at the end of the corridor. His voice was as soft as if it had been caressed by the wind: "Classmate Jiang, are you free? I have something to tell you."
When Jiang Fengyu turned around, he kicked the pebbles at his feet and said with a deliberately casual tone: "Oh? What a coincidence, I just have something to tell you. Wait for me under the maple leaf forest in the park after school."
Intention: Regret, even if there is no result, the good things in the past are not in vain
