Chapter Seventeen (Part One)

  The two of them had been standing at the office door for some time, almost as soon as Ji Xiaowan stepped into the office, they were waiting for her at the door.

  When the two saw Ji Xiaowan come out, they were shocked in their hearts, because they kept thinking in their minds what expression Ji Xiaowan would have when she came out.

  Is it crying? Is it regretful? Is it repentant for what should have been done at first?

  Then when she sees them standing here waiting for her, will she run over and grab their hands to plead? Then cry and bow her head to apologize to Luo Mei Yue?

  But they were disappointed, and once again they were deeply disappointed.

  Ji Xiaowan's expression on her face was as calm as ever, just like the first time they saw her, just like when Ji Xiaowan had a high fever and was hospitalized, her mother came over without caring about her physical condition, but told her to continue having dinner with Xia and Dong.

  Ji Xiaowan gazed deeply at Yi Ling and Ye Hai for a moment before preparing to step over their bodies and leave.

  Yi Ling dodged to one side, flashing a sly smile at her as he said, "Actually, this matter is quite easy to resolve, Xiao Wan."

  Ye Haiwei also blocked her way, adding a sentence, "I said it before, as long as you are willing to apologize, everything can be negotiated. This sentence is still valid, but if you choose to leave, I won't help you again."

  How can this girl be so stubborn? She doesn't know that in the past, they absolutely wouldn't show mercy to their enemies, let alone give her chance after chance.

  But she just doesn't know how to seize the opportunity.

  Ji Xiaowan shook her head and said, "If there's nothing else, I need to go organize my backpack."

  Ji Xiaowan's heart was suffocating when she said those words, but her expression remained calm.

  Yi Ling was very angry, Ye Haiyue was also furious, then they gave her a way and watched her leave slowly.

  Ji Xiaowan returned to the classroom, and Luo Meiyue smiled at her non-stop. The perfect smile didn't contain a hint of hatred, but instead made people feel that her smile was very approachable, as if she were greeting an old friend. Beside her, Tai Li's smile contained a lot of pride and disdain.

  Ji Xiaowan simply tidied up her schoolbag, took out her MP3 player, plugged in the earbuds and slowly walked out of the classroom under the mocking gazes.

  After leaving the classroom, Ji Xiaowen didn't rush out of the school gate or hurry back home to cry her heart out. She simply walked quietly along the school streets, unknowingly ending up on that scenic path.

  This scenic path is often visited by Ji Xiaoyan, as it has few people and beautiful scenery. Although the long chairs on the side of the road are a bit old and the coal slag road is not easy to walk, the air here is very fresh.

  Ji Xiaowan chose a long chair, sat down, put her backpack aside, and listened to the song on her MP3 player while watching the swaying leaves in front of her. Her mood also slowly began to sway along with them.

  Her financial resources were cut off, her studies were interrupted, and all the motivation for her life was extinguished. At home, there is a mother, but her mother will not comfort herself because she was forced to drop out of school, and it is very likely that she will directly sell her as a concubine to a wealthy man to ensure their future livelihood. Ji Xiaowen can almost foresee the outcome after returning home.

  Ji Xiaowan wanted to cry, but she couldn't. Ji Xiaowan had heard that when a person is heartbroken to the extreme, they have no tears. Ji Xiaowan thought, maybe she was just that kind of extremely heartbroken person!

  Ji Xiaowan thought a lot, about her family, her parents, the experience of being brutally beaten, and her brother Dong Xiaoge.

  Ji Xiaowan told her brother Dong Xiao that she was very tired, living a very tiring life, because those people were all forcing her.

  Her parents' divorce forced her to choose between families, her mother forced her to sell her body, Luo Mei Yue forced her to bear false accusations, Yi Ling and Ye Hai Wei forced her to bow down to Luo Mei Yue, and heaven forced her to accept an unfair fate.

  They're all forcing her! Forcing her into a corner with no choice!

  Ji Xiaowan listened to the light music in her MP3 player, gazing at the faintly visible rays of light filtering through the green leaves above her head. Her eyes were dim and her facial expression was calm, but it only meant that her heart was suffering even more.

  This silence should be called deathly stillness.

  Ji Xiaowan took out an art knife from her bag.

  A year ago, when she was in the third grade of junior high school, she was followed by someone on her way home from school and almost got kidnapped. Fortunately, she was clever and escaped. After her parents divorced, she moved out with her mother and never met that stalker again. However, she always carried a utility knife in her bag for self-defense.

  Ji Xiaowan held that art knife and walked out of the room, her thumb pushed forward, revealing a sinister and piercing blade tip that was particularly dazzling in the sunlight.

  Ji Xiaowan didn't want to die, she knew that she had a stronger desire for life than anyone else. She yearned to live more wonderfully than anyone else, yearned for the day when Dong Xiao would return, and yearned to marry him in the future.

  So she didn't want to die at all! But she just wanted to take a gamble!

  This scenic path is usually deserted, except when people need to exercise outdoors and use the fitness equipment. However, a new cement road has been opened behind the scenic path, which is flat and convenient. Even if someone passes by here, they will choose to pass through the cement road behind Ji Xiaowen.

  Usually, Ji Xiaowan likes to come here to read books during lunch breaks or leisure time, and she loves the quietness here.

  Today, just after class started not long ago, there are still about forty minutes before the end of class. Adding to the fact that this place is originally deserted, if she were to cut her wrist and commit suicide here, and no one passes by, she would die here.

  Ji Xiaowan gambled with her own life, looking to see if Heaven would grant her wish! If Heaven allowed her to get what she wanted, then she could escape from this world, and for the current Ji Xiaowan, this outcome wasn't necessarily a bad thing. But if Heaven didn't want to let her die so easily, it meant that her fate wasn't supposed to be cut short, Heaven felt that the trials she had undergone were still insufficient, so why should she continue to dwell on past events?

  Ji Xiaowan picked up the utility knife, its dark blade pressed tightly against her left wrist. After hesitating for two seconds, she made a forceful downward slash.

  Excruciating pain suddenly spread all over, Ji Xiaowan was in so much agony that she dropped the utility knife, which fell beside her right foot.

  The moment the wrist was cut, it was indeed very painful, so painful that it was unbearable. However, after the knife went down, the wrist felt like it was on fire with wave after wave of cramping pain. This kind of pain wasn't actually that hard to endure.

  Ji Xiaowan put her left hand into the pocket of her loose school pants, leaned against the backrest of the long bench, and looked up at the green leaves in the sky, her face still calm.

  Fresh blood slowly seeped into her pant legs, and a hint of bloody smell also lingered in the air.

  As the blood flowed out of her body, Ji Xiaowan felt her breathing become a bit urgent, and she could hear the sound of her own heartbeat by her ears. The scene in front of her turned into white lights, and this dizzying feeling was actually quite pleasant for Ji Xiaowan.

  Digression

  I've saved the draft! I'll definitely post more after V!

  I know everyone will scold the male lead to death, as mentioned in the introduction earlier, the female lead will cut her wrist and commit suicide.

  This plot is very useful and guarantees that everyone will be excited after seeing the subsequent plot.

  The male lead pursued the female lead with hardship and bitterness because of this matter, don't worry everyone.

  The heroine's life in high school was quite miserable, but her life in third year of high school was more "lustful".

  The best male supporting character will only appear in senior year three. At that time, don't rush me to send the female lead to the male supporting character!

  I don't like it!
