The doors to the Xiao family's house were all tightly locked; they were probably out visiting relatives. Ming Shu hopped on a bicycle and rode out of their residential community, biking aimlessly with no destination in mind.

After taking a certain corner, he reached a gently sloping path. He didn't plan on biking downhill at first, but he just so happened to see Xia Zhong at the bottom of the slope.

His nightmare, the coffee shop, Xia Zhong calling out 'ge', and Xia Zhong snitching to Ming Shu's father…

Each of these tiny little details cut through his heart like shrapnel, slicing open something buried deep within him. Hatred and malice began to trickle out, slowly staining and covering his sense of reason.

Ming Shu wasn't as saintly as everyone believed. All the suffering he'd endured in his childhood, all the times he'd been wronged—he remembered it all. Someone had kept him wrapped up in warmth and affection until then. Over the years, he and his suffering had been cocooned in cotton candy.

Because of that cocoon, he'd never sought revenger He'd never hurt anyone.

But now, that cocoon had been ripped apart.

The scene before Ming Shu began to rock and sway, dizzying him. His eyes were blank and almost lifeless, but they were fixed on Xia Zhong at the bottom of the slope. By the time Ming Shu came back to his senses and realized what he was doing, his bicycle was already barreling down that hill.

When Xia Zhong saw the bike plowing straight towards him, he froze with shock and terror. He couldn't react at all. He didn't even realize, until too late, that the person on the bike was Ming Shu, and that Ming Shu was out for revenge.

On a flat road, a bicycle wouldn't necessarily be able to do much harm to a person. Especially since this was a child's bike.

But a bicycle swooping down a hill was enough to kill a teenager.

By the time Ming Shu realized he couldn't do that, it was too late to stop the bike. And Xia Zhong was still standing there, scared stiff.

At the very last second, Ming Shu swung the bike to the side as hard as he could. He flew out of the saddle and slammed his head into a railing along the road. And the bike, inevitably, still hurt Xia Zhong.

Ming Shu fought against the dizzying waves of intense pain that rolled through him. He looked over and saw that Xia Zhong had been pinned under the bicycle. The tires still spun slowly, and blood was seeping out from the back of Xia Zhong's hand.
