Yu Chengfei seemed to sense what I was thinking and continued, "Don't worry, Haozi. With us here, you can study well at the vocational school. There's nothing wrong with attending a vocational school, and you can still advance to a university in the future."

Thinking about being with Yu Chengfei and the others, my heart warmed. If I had such a group of brothers, it wouldn't matter which school I attended.

"You think about it," Yu Chengfei said. "Maizi has been detained, and he'll be out in fifteen days. So, you need to complete the transfer procedures within fifteen days. As an outstanding student like you, if you go to the vocational school, the principal will welcome you with open arms and even distribute scholarships to you every year."

"I understand," Yu Chengfei was looking out for me. He might be formidable at the vocational school, but he wouldn't dare to mess with Chengnan High School.

Yuan Shao put his arm around me, laughing, "Hey, Haozi, don't frown like that. We have plenty of talented people at the vocational school too."

Meng Liang also came over, grabbing my arm and saying, "Yeah, yeah, we welcome you. Chenggao is nothing, just a bunch of fake high and mighty people."

Everyone surrounded me, calling out "Haozi, Haozi." Although I knew they were being affectionate because of Yu Chengfei, I couldn't help but feel warm inside. I genuinely regarded these people as brothers.

"Let's go, play some games inside," Yu Chengfei called out to everyone. "The new area just opened, and I want to maintain my position as the top-leveling maniac in the whole district!"

Everyone followed Yu Chengfei into the internet café, where most people were already looking at him. Indeed, his reputation was quite renowned.

"Old Zhang, how's my character doing?" Yu Chengfei walked straight to the counter.

When Old Zhang saw Yu Chengfei walk in, he looked flustered and quickly tried to cover the screen with his hand, but it was too late...

"My god, my character died?!" Yu Chengfei stared wide-eyed. "How much experience did I lose? How much experience? It seems like my top ranking in the whole district isn't guaranteed anymore. Old Zhang, you bastard..." Yu Chengfei grabbed Old Zhang's collar with both hands, shaking his head back and forth. "I trusted you so much, why would you hurt me like this?"

Old Zhang's face was full of tears. "I didn't mean to, someone came to pay just now, so I switched the screen. When I came back, I found out you were already dead... I'll compensate you, I promise! I'll give you a fifty yuan membership!"

"Can money buy me off? Huh? Huh?" Yu Chengfei continued shaking Old Zhang's shoulders. Yuan Shao and the others were nearly laughing themselves into tears. It was quite funny, but I couldn't laugh because I was still thinking about transferring schools. Indeed, when I used the peace lily to deal with Zou Yang, I had entertained the thought of leaving school. But at that time, I still wanted to go to the internet café to find Yu Chengfei, thinking he could help me resolve the issue.

Indeed, in front of Yuan Shao, I had sworn to never give up and fight Zou Yang and Hong Li to the end. But at that time, I still believed that these people could help me solve my problems.

I had considered dropping out of school, but there was still hope in my heart. Unlike now, when Yu Chengfei clearly told me that I needed to transfer.

Chengnan High School, the most famous key high school in Beiyuan City. When I was in Dongguan Town, from elementary to junior high school, not a single teacher could stop praising this school! "You must study hard and get into Chengnan High School in the future. Many Tsinghua and Peking University students come from there!" "If you can't even get first place in your class, forget about getting into Chengnan High School!" "As long as you enter Chengnan High School, you're halfway to university."

In reality, aside from wanting to escape Zou Yang's bullying, Chengnan High School had always been my dream.

I always thought that Chengnan High School must be like a paradise, where there were no bullies, no harassment, no exclusion, no intrigue, no deception. But Zou Yang's arrival shattered all my illusions. In my days at Chengnan High School, I gradually discovered that it still harbored many people who entered through various connections. Second-generation officials and wealthy second-generation students were everywhere, and those with abilities did their best to get their children in, thinking that their children could focus on studying here.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

But have they ever thought about what kind of kids their children were?

"I can't be bought with money, don't you know me?" Yu Chengfei continued shaking Old Zhang's shoulders.

"Charge a hundred, charge a hundred yuan for membership!" Old Zhang was truly at a loss.

Yu Chengfei immediately let go of Old Zhang's shoulders. "Seeing how sincere you are, I'll let you off this time, haha..."

Yuan Shao and the others were laughing so hard they were almost choking. It was obvious this wasn't the first time. They were really happy, and I envied them.

Muttering to himself, Old Zhang began to operate the membership list.

"Charge it to my brother's account," Yu Chengfei pointed to me behind him.

"Okay," Old Zhang looked at me and asked, "What's your account?"

"No need," I smiled. "Yu Bro, you guys play. I'm going back to school." Actually, I didn't really want to come to the internet café. Sometimes I just needed to relax, especially during those days when I was being ostracized by my classmates.

"You're leaving?" Yu Chengfei looked at me.

"Yeah," I nodded.

"Okay, I'll walk you," Yu Chengfei told Yuan Shao and the others, "You guys play first. I'll talk to my brother for a while."

Yu Chengfei and I left the internet café, and there was silence between us for a while.

After walking about ten meters, I said, "Yu Bro, you can go back. I can find my own way."

Yu Chengfei smiled bitterly and said, "Haozi, I know you don't want to leave Chengnan High School. But you have to."

"Yeah," I nodded again.

Yu Chengfei stopped and said again, "You only have fifteen days. Remember, fifteen days."

"Okay," I waved my hand, not saying anything more, and walked back to school alone.

This twilight evening, my mood was complicated. The willow trees on both sides of the road swayed in the wind, and there were occasional cars speeding by.

I was used to walking alone, so I didn't feel particularly lonely, but rather easily settled down to consider many things.

Walking to the entrance of Chengnan High School, I looked at the not-so-grand gate, recalling the excitement when I first arrived here. I didn't expect that in less than a month, I would have to say goodbye to this place. There weren't many people on campus, as it wasn't yet time for evening self-study. Boarding students were in their dormitories, and local students hadn't arrived yet. I walked along the small paths of the campus, without a fixed direction or goal.

Perhaps I just wanted to take a closer look around here. I walked past the teaching building, staff building, dormitory building, library, clinic, and basketball court... Unconsciously, I arrived at the cafeteria.

I realized I hadn't eaten yet, so I went in. There weren't many people in the cafeteria either, only a few windows were still open. I ordered some food and sat alone at a table to eat. It was strange that there was no taste at all, was it because I had too much on my mind?

How many more days could I stay at Chengnan High School? How many more times could I eat here?

Quietly finishing my meal, it was almost time for class. I walked through the campus alone again, back to the front of the teaching building. This time, there were already many students on campus, all bustling toward their classrooms. Seeing their relaxed and happy expressions, I couldn't help but feel envious. Why couldn't I enjoy the carefree campus life like them? Why couldn't I spend a day doing nothing?

It's all because of Zou Yang... I clenched my fists, feeling a surge of anger in my heart again. Yes, if it weren't for him, how could I end up like this!

I couldn't afford to provoke him, so I deliberately avoided him, but he still wouldn't let me go!

As I thought about it more, my heart grew angrier, and I rushed to my classroom. As I ran, the bell for class rang. When I entered the classroom, everyone's eyes quickly focused on me. Without stopping, without looking at anyone, I quickly ran to Zou Yang's desk, stepped over it, and kicked him hard in the chest!

The class immediately erupted into commotion, with many boys standing up wanting to intervene.

"Get the hell out of my way!" I shouted, my eyes must have been bloodshot. "Whoever tries to stop me today will end up like Zou Yang!"

Zou Yang's current appearance was quite miserable, with white bandages on his forehead and fresh blood oozing out. Now, being kicked to the ground by me, he crawled around in a mess, trying to avoid me hitting him again. At this moment, he didn't even have the courage to fight back.

After uttering that fierce threat, no one in the class dared to come over and stop me, they could only foolishly watch from the side. With red eyes, I naturally wouldn't let Zou Yang off the hook, rushing over to continue kicking him in the chest, ribs, abdomen, thighs, wherever I could reach.

Under my storm-like attack, Zou Yang couldn't even stand up—perhaps he didn't dare to stand up. It was ridiculous, this person who had bullied me for three years, now couldn't even muster the courage to fight back against me. Did I stage a comeback? Was it considered a comeback? I didn't know, I just kept beating Zou Yang fiercely, with my fists and feet. The price of a comeback was leaving Chengnan High School!

Leaving Chengnan High School!

These few words were like thorns stabbing fiercely in my chest. "Bastard!" I shouted loudly. "Why won't you let me go?" My mind was blank, and all I knew was to keep hitting. I didn't know when tears started flowing from my eyes.

"I've endured so much from you, why won't you let me go?!" I yelled hoarsely, using all my strength to beat him.

To outsiders, my current behavior must seem strange. Clearly, I was beating Zou Yang, but my face was full of tears; clearly, Zou Yang was rolling around on the ground from being beaten by me, but I was asking him why he wouldn't let me go.
