He Tingting hadn’t yet recovered from the shock and fear she had just experienced; the pain in her head had intensified to the point that she had to ignore the problems for the time being and just cover her head and shout out in pain.
By the time the airship drove to her home, He Tingting had once again passed out due to the intense headache.
For the rest of the day, He Tingting was in a vicious cycle of waking up from the pain and fainting from the pain, and although Lu Na was heartbroken, she could do nothing other than apologize with tears in her eyes.
In addition to worrying about his sister and mother, He Xiaochen was also worried about the aftermath of this incident; he felt that with He Yishu’s personality, he would never let them off so easily again.
It wasn’t until a whole day later that He Tingting’s headache finally eased, which also signaled that her spiritual domain had been completely destroyed, but at least her spirit and body, which had been tossed around for a whole day, were finally able to rest after the pain disappeared.
Just as He Tingting finally quieted down and fell into a deep sleep, He Yishu on the other side was also ready to start his next move: “After taking this kind of potion, you still have to suffer so much; it sounds like she’s quite pitiful, but unfortunately, I don’t sympathize with He Tingting at all.”
Adrian also didn’t think that He Tingting was worthy of any sympathy: “He Tingting deserved what she got; she doesn’t deserve any sympathy.”
Having He Tingting’s spiritual domain completely destroyed was only the first step; next, Lu Na and her eldest son would also have to pay the price for what they had done. As for He Chengkun, it was obvious that he couldn’t be left alone in this matter.
However, since it was a series of major dramas, it was necessary to stretch the timeline a little bit, so He Yishu intended to give He Tingting a few days of grief that may include mutual accusations and then usher in a bigger blow.
The truth was just as He Yishu expected. After He Tingting finally came to her senses and realized that her spiritual domain had indeed been completely destroyed, she first stared blankly for quite a while and then began to lose her temper: “Why am I the one whose spiritual domain has been destroyed, and not He Yishu? Why? Why did things turn out to be like this? I hate him!”
She threw all the cute dolls on her bed to the floor; her hair was in disarray, and she looked as if she had gone crazy.
He Xiaochen had to temporarily let go of his mother, who was crying with her head down, and walked over to press down on He Tingting’s shoulders, saying in a low voice, “Tingting, calm down; now that things have happened, no matter how much you curse, no matter how much you throw a tantrum, it’s not going to change anything!”
He Xiaochen said this just to bring back He Tingting’s sense of reason; however, the next moment, He Tingting’s gaze suddenly fell on him, her eyes filled with a bright resentment: “You knew all along, didn’t you? You knew that He Yishu already knew about my plan with Mom, right? Otherwise, you would have had no reason to stop me and mom!”
He Xiaochen was shocked by He Tingting’s gaze and words. He stared back at He Tingting incredulously and said, “Tingting, what are you talking about? How could I possibly know such things? The only reason I stopped you guys at that time was because I was interested in He Yishu.”
However, before He Xiaochen could finish his explanation, He Tingting already broke down again and cried as she cursed, “You bad man! You and He Yishu must be in cahoots! Why didn’t you stop me at that time? Why did you let me go to the birthday party? If you had stopped me, I wouldn’t be like this now.”
Not expecting such words to come out of his sister’s mouth, He Xiaochen froze, and He Tingting took advantage of this, slapping and hitting him while her mouth said vicious words, “It’s all your fault! If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have become like this! Everything is over for me; now you’re satisfied!”
Lu Na was also shocked by He Tingting’s actions and words, and after coming back to her senses, she hurriedly came over to pull He Tingting’s arm: “Tingting, stop it; how can you do this to your brother? You quickly… ah!”
Before Lu Na could finish her words, she was shoved away by He Tingting’s forceful backhand and staggered back a few steps.
“Shut up! You, shut up too!” He Tingting turned to Lu Na with a hideous expression, roaring in a completely irrational manner. “You’re just like him; you’re all to blame! If you hadn’t asked me to do these things, how would I have become like this? You guys are the ones who got me into this mess! If you hadn’t told me that there wouldn’t be any accidents in this matter, I wouldn’t have done this at all.”
Lu Na stood there frozen in disbelief, looking at her daughter, who had become a total stranger. He Tingting’s words were like a thorn that was directly inserted into her heart.
“He Tingting; calm down!” He Xiaochen clenched his fists tightly, unable to hold back from shouting.
He Tingting, who had already completely collapsed emotionally, wasn’t deterred at all but instead turned even more aggressive: “Did I say something wrong? The reason I became like this, isn’t it your…”
The sound of a “slap” interrupted He Tingting’s words full of resentment, pushing her face to the side. He Xiaochen withdrew his hand, endured the pain in his heart, and angrily reprimanded: “If you dare to talk nonsense again, you can get out of my house!”
The room was quiet for four or five seconds before He Tingting suddenly burst into a fierce cry: “It’s all over! My life is over. What should I do? What the hell… should I do…?”
The shock and irritation that had just risen were immediately dispersed by He Tingting’s cries. He Xiaochen sighed heavily and went forward to rub He Tingting’s messy hair. “It will be fine; everything will be fine.”
However, even He Xiaochen himself didn’t know whether He Tingting’s incident was the end of the matter or the beginning of the disaster.
But no matter what, He Xiaochen couldn’t continue to sit around and wait for death, so after putting He Tingting to sleep together with Lu Na, he prepared to make a trip back to the First Academy first.
Lu Na wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and grabbed He Xiaochen’s arm uneasily. “Xiao Chen, are you really going to find He Yishu? With his personality, even if you go, he definitely won’t let us go.”
He Xiaochen already knew; he sighed and said, “That’s better than doing nothing.”
There were times when what was truly terrifying wasn’t destruction, but the process of knowing that one was about to be destroyed and having to wait with one’s eyes open.
“But…” Lu Na still wanted to stop He Xiaochen, but again, she really couldn’t find any other reason.
He Xiaochen patted Lu Na on the shoulder. He looked at his mother seriously, his mother once looked gentle, but because of this incident, she looked like she had aged several years, and sorrow was written all over her face.
Even though he knew that his mother had really done something wrong, He Xiaochen still couldn’t accept the horrible fate of letting his mother spend the rest of her life in prison, so even though he knew that there was a high possibility that his efforts wouldn’t be rewarded in any way, he had to give it a try.
After returning to the first academy, He Xiaochen went directly to the door of He Yishu’s flat to wait, and in the process, he thought a lot.
He Xiaochen thought back to He Yishu’s childhood, to the way he cowered in the corner of his room and cried every time he was bullied by his sister, to the way he and his mother had ignored it, and to the fact that he had also hurt that teenager over and over again without thinking it was a bad idea.
His thoughts were actually not the same as those of his mother and sister; he just felt that since a person could be weak to such an extent, he deserved to be bullied and deserved to go to his doom; after all, it was his own inability to protect himself that brought him to that end.
It was only now, when He Xiaochen himself stood in the position of the weak, when he watched everything he didn’t want to face happen and he couldn’t do anything about it, that he suddenly realized that it was actually his thoughts that were so wrong, wasn’t it?
The weak deserved to be bullied, so did he also deserve to face all of this right now? Did he deserve to watch his sister’s spiritual domain being completely destroyed, his mother being thrown into prison, and even the entire He family going to pieces?
The crueler truth was that the reason they ended up like this was because they did a lot of bad things, and that teenager had done nothing at all when he was humiliated and hurt by them.
He Xiaochen finally recognized his mistakes clearly at this moment, but it wasn’t really because of how compassionate he was or because he was sincerely repenting for them, but because he had just experienced something similar to what the teenager had experienced.
Leaning his back against the cold wall, He Xiaochen sighed heavily. He had actually realized this before; that was why he had stopped his mother and sister from continuing to do stupid things and even came out to quell He Yishu’s resentment in this way as a way to lessen the punishment that he was about to receive.
Yet everything still happened; maybe this was retribution.
He Xiaochen was looking down while thinking about all this, when he suddenly saw a pair of black boots appear in front of him. When he looked up, he saw He Yishu looking at him with a smile on his face.
Meeting He Xiaochen’s gaze, He Yishu let out a light laugh and said with obvious sarcasm, “To see you here, you wouldn’t have accidentally gone to the wrong flat, would you?”
In the next moment, He Xiaochen clenched his teeth and unexpectedly knelt down in front of He Yishu!
Thanks for the update!! 😩😩😩
