Yun Liuli’s brows furrowed tightly.

  Back then, she was lucky to have Gu Qingcheng. But what about Zhou Yuchen?

  She was angry that, despite being so tall, Zhou Yuchen didn’t put up any resistance. However, Yun Liuli could tell that although Zhou Yuchen looked tall… he was extremely skinny and weak. It was probably a case where, even if he were to fight back with the other party not moving at all, it’d just feel like he was tickling them with his strength.

  Yun Liuli held onto her bags and walked up to Zhou Yuchen. She saw a plastic bag next to him, one filled with medicine for disinfecting and treating injuries.

  Zhou Yuchen saw a pair of white shoes stopping in front of him and raised his head…


  Yun Liuli was stunned. Zhou Yuchen’s situation was worse than she had imagined it to be.

  The traces of blood at the corners of his lips hadn’t dried, and there was a meandering bloody mark near his sideburn. Blood was slowly flowing out of his fingernails. Yun Liuli looked down from his raised chin and saw obvious bruises under his collarbone.

  Yun Liuli put down the two big bags of snacks and sat down next to Zhou Yuchen. She lowered her head and took out the disinfecting spray from his plastic bag, then moistened a piece of gauze and passed it to him. “Wipe your sideburn. There’s blood.”


  Zhou Yuchen didn’t say anything. His gaze moved from the gauze to Yun Liuli’s face, as if not understanding her intention. He tightly held onto his ice pack, wearing a cold expression.

  “You often get beaten up, but you don’t know how to attend to your wounds?” Yun Liuli asked.

  Zhou Yuchen lowered his gaze and took the gauze that was moistened by the disinfecting spray from Yun Liuli’s hands, pressing it under his sideburn. After wiping with it, he took it down from his fringe. It was reddened with slight bits of dried blood.

  Yun Liuli took Zhou Yuchen’s other wrist, spraying it with disinfecting spray. Blood, mixed with disinfectant, kept dripping down. Yun Liuli then took out a disinfecting cotton ball and wiped it gently on his fingernails.

  Zhou Yuchen’s fingernails looked like they had been clamped by a door. Looking at them, Yun Liuli knew that his fingernails were going to have to come off.

  Zhou Yuchen had been given a beating today because Yun Liuli sat next to him again. Therefore, he didn’t feel thankful toward her.

  “It was the same group of people who beat you up?” Yun Liuli asked.

  Zhou Yuchen, who hadn’t planned on paying Yun Liuli any heed, shook his head uncontrollably when he met her clear and beautiful eyes that were like a colorful glaze.

  Yun Liuli tore open the packaging for the self-adhesive bandage, and after bandaging Zhou Yuchen’s fingers, she moved the fringe that was covering his eyes.

  When their gazes met, Zhou Yuchen’s eyes contracted intensely, and his entire body stiffened up.

  Yun Liuli seemed as if she hadn’t noticed Zhou Yuchen’s eyes. She used cotton balls to wipe Zhou Yuchen’s forehead, which still had blood flowing out slowly. She then dressed up his wound.

  Throughout the entire process, Yun Liuli seemed to haven’t noticed Zhou Yuchen’s different colored eyes. She swiftly dressed his wounds and then took out a lollipop from her bag, giving it to Zhou Yuchen. “Here, for you…”


  Zhou Yuchen subconsciously received it. He looked at the strawberry-flavored lollipop in his hand, appearing to be in a daze.

  He clutched the lollipop tightly. After his throat rolled slightly, he suddenly asked, “Aren’t you… afraid of me?”


  This was the first time Yun Liuli heard Zhou Yuchen speak. His voice sounded very nice.

  She opened up a lollipop and put it in her mouth, looking at Zhou Yuchen. “Why would I be afraid of you?”


  Zhou Yuchen pursed his lips tightly together, keeping quiet once again…


  Yun Liuli took the lollipop out of her mouth, asking, “You’re referring to how… the colors of your eyes are different?”


  Yun Liuli used the most relaxed and natural manner to tear open the wound that Zhou Yuchen was the most concerned about without any warning.

  She looked toward Zhou Yuchen. “The entire school knows about it. What’s there to care about?”


  The packaging of the lollipop in Zhou Yuchen’s hand burst from his grip. When he heard the sound, he was also given a shock, appearing a little anxious.

  “The color of your eyes is something that you’re born with. If you really don’t like them… haven’t you heard of something called cosmetic contact lenses? Why do you have to use your hair to cover them up?” Yun Liuli gestured toward Zhou Yuchen. “Cosmetic contact lenses are just this big, fitting nicely on your pupils. Guan Nina wears them every day. She says that it makes one’s eyes appear darker and brighter or something like that.”


  Zhou Yuchen knew about cosmetic contact lenses. It was just that he subconsciously felt that they were something that only girls would wear.

  “Zhou Yuchen, the feeling you give off to others is too gloomy. I feel that it’s probably because you always cover up your eyes. Don’t you know that you’re very good-looking?” Yun Liuli said this very sincerely. She wasn’t someone who was good at telling lies.

  Zhou Yuchen was really very good-looking. He had fair and delicate skin like Caucasians, and Yun Liuli wasn’t able to see pores on his face despite being in such close proximity to him. His arching brows made his eyes appear extremely deep. He had the unique high nose and dimensional features that Caucasians had, yet he also had the elegance that Asians had…


  His eyes added quite a lot of exotic charm to him, making him appear like the ice crystal flowers at the top of snow-capped mountains—beautiful, translucent, and yet high and unattainable.

  No matter how Yun Liuli looked at Zhou Yuchen, she felt that he was really good-looking. He was really a beautiful young man. Of course… he wasn’t as handsome as Gu Qingcheng!

  Zhou Yuchen was stunned. Other than his mother and nanny who had already passed away, there hadn’t been anyone else who said that he was good-looking!

  When he was young, when other children saw him, they would scream out, calling him a monster.

  Zhou Yuchen… had been bullied since he was young.

  It was because, in Zhou Yuchen’s subconscious, he was really a monster. Other people had eyes of the same color. Only his eyes were different.

  Not only were the colors of his eyes different, but they were also a demonic emerald and amber color!

  “Why do you cover up your eyes? Don’t you know that the more you cover them up, the more others will wonder how scary the eyes under your fringe are? Why don’t you just be open and aboveboard, showing them off? After all, even if you cover them up, there won’t be fewer people talking about you. Why don’t you just let them see your eyes so that they won’t spread any useless rumors!”


  Zhou Yuchen could hear the intense thumping of his heartbeat.

  That was right. There had always been a lot of comments about him. It was because he had covered up his eyes, and since others could tell that he had an inferiority complex, their bullying toward him got worse.

  “If you dislike yourself like this, others will only dislike you even more!” Yun Liuli’s voice was very calm, having no intention of consoling Zhou Yuchen. She was just sharing her thoughts honestly. “We only have one life. If we live our life detesting ourselves, will it be worth it?”


  Yun Liuli had also disliked herself in the past. It was because her mother had died on the day of her birthday.

  After that, Gu Qingcheng was the one who made Yun Liuli change to like herself. In order to become someone compatible with Gu Qingcheng, she had also tried very hard to become someone that he would like… someone outstanding.

  After Yun Liuli finished her lollipop, she picked up the plastic bags by her feet and got up.
