Chapter 13
Derrick came to seek punishment.
After the college entrance examination, I ignored him and didn’t give him my phone number.
After calming me down with a few sentences, he chuckled and asked if I had received any good news about studying abroad together.
“Oh wow,” I lowered my eyes, “Derrick, thank you, with you around, my life has improved so
much.”
Derrick said I was cheesy, but then he suddenly became enthusiastic.
“By then, I would have appointed you as my official translator! Let’s go curse in the streets together!”
“Okay.”
He took advantage of the situation and came up with several tyrannical clauses. Seeing that I agreed to each one, he took the opportunity to bring up his promises after the college entrance
examination.
I smiled slightly and said, “It’s not easy to discuss this over the phone. Let’s wait until we are
abroad and talk face to face.”
“So, are you planning on not meeting me at all for these two months?”
“I was really busy, so at that time, you go with Uncle and Aunt first, and I still had to finish up the
work here before leaving.”
Derrick’s tone became serious. “Sylvia, you didn’t like me at all!”
My hand froze, and I sighed.
“Sorry, Derrick, I lied to you.‘
The person over there clearly paused for a moment, muttering to themselves that I had a long
reflex arc.
Last time, he was boasting and saying he was right, but now he has started to repent.
“Always reflecting, always renewing.”
“Well, then I mercifully forgave you!”
“Thank you so much for that.”
I made an excuse about work, and Derrick reluctantly hung up the phone.

I stood on the street for a long time. Today was a rare cloudy day, but the temperature was still high.
A water droplet fell on the floor, leaving a small gray spot, which instantly disappeared.
The day after the phone call with Mrs. Howard, the Harris family parents, along with Vivian and the others who were present that day, came to apologize to me in a grand manner.
Vivian glared at me fiercely and said, “Sylvia, I didn’t expect you to be so despicable!”
Vivian’s father immediately slapped her. “How did I raise such a person like you! I have always indulged you, not to give you the confidence to bully your classmates!”
Vivian’s mother was also very angry. “They are all girls, and they dare to use that old video to
threaten their classmates. What era is this? I think you must have been wrapped in foot–binding
cloth!”
“Do you know, once this thing is sent out, the first ones to be drowned by spittle will be a few of you!”
When their interests were threatened, people’s moral standards became particularly high.
Vivian was crying after being beaten. They were pressing her head and forcing her to bow and apologize in front of me.
I watched Vivian, who was powerless to resist, and suddenly had a moment of enlightenment.
There is always a possibility of a complete failure when the relied–upon power is entirely bestowed
by others.
I took the phone she handed me and transferred the video to my own phone. Then, I deleted it and emptied the recycle bin.
I never expected that this used to be my pain point would become her vulnerability.
Harley was in tears in front of me, and I told her.
It is not difficult to undress with everyone, but it takes courage to put on clothes for others.
People are like this, malice and hostility are innate, while kindness and benevolence need to be
learned.
Treading on the edge of evil with a wavering heart did not alleviate any sense of guilt.
“Be a good person, Harley.”
Be a good person while there is still time.
Three days before the release of the scores, teachers from Evergreen University and Pinebrook University’s admissions offices both arrived in Aetheria City.

To be honest, I was a bit surprised. “I thought you would also go abroad, or at least study finance or management.‘
He smiled indifferently and said, “I have told you before, I am different from Derrick. I have the
right to choose everything I want.‘
“No matter it is a thing or a person.”
When it comes to Derrick, we all fall silent without any agreement, and then we quickly change the subject, brushing it off.
“That senior of yours, seems to have some feelings for you.”
“Was there?”
Walter did help me a lot, but in my eyes, he seemed more like a reliable elder.
“You have always been slow in this aspect.”
“I would pay attention.”
“Well, reject me early,” Marcus joked, “If you ever need a boyfriend, I hope I’m the first person you
think of.”
“You don’t have to wait for me deliberately,” I said, raising my tea cup to toast with him. “You know, I won’t be responsible for your time cost.”
