Chapter 2-She’s blind?
Translator-zyzy Editor-Aru
He Jun Ming confusedly said: “She’s blind? And she’s wearing Seven High’s school uniform.”
Jiang Ren chewed on his bubble gum while watching the girl as she stumbles around, struggling to find her way, looking pitiful. It looks like this girl from Seven High doesn’t really know her way around here, as she slowly disappears from their sight.
After a while, He Jun Ming forgot about the girl, he remembered the talent show that just ended and smiled: “Remember the girl who was playing the piano just now? She came by just now, wanting to be friends.”
“You’re interested? No harm fooling around with her then.”
He Jun Ming shrugged: “She’s looking for you, how can you say something like that?”
Jiang Ren remembered her astounding performance onstage: “Sure then, bring her over.”
Shu Lan walked over, eyes as bright as ever, the moment she saw Jiang Ren, she blushed: “Jiang Ren.”
She held the white hat in her hands.
A delicate face, decent looking. Jiang Ren glanced at Shu Lan, lazily said: “You like me?”
Shu Lan never thought that he would be this straightforward, her face turned a darker shade of red, heart racing fast, slightly excited, she suppressed her reactions and gracefully answered: “Jiang Ren, I just think you’re extremely talented.”
Jiang Ren snickered out loud: “So why don’t you tell me what I’m talented at?”
Shu Lan didn’t even get the chance to answer, Jiang Ren lit a cigarette while continuing: “Good at smoking and fighting? Or is it murder and arson? Or was it the incident 2 days back when I beat up the teacher and he had to be taken to the hospital?”
Shu Lan went pale “I believe that there must have been some misunderstanding, you’re not like that.”
Jiang Ren crossed his legs: “ Seen my medical report? Any idea what bipolar disorder is?”
Shu Lan didn’t know all these, she just thought that he just had a bad temper, never thinking that it was an illness. Her expression was clearly distressed, but in the end, she still said: “I don’t mind!”
Jiang Ren stubbing on the cigarette ash, mockingly replied: “That desperate for money? But I mind, you’re too ugly. At least resemble Sheng Yu Qing from Seven High next door. Can’t you even tell that I was just playing with you just now? Leave.”
Sheng Yu Qing is the prettiest girl in Seven High, currently also studying in grade 7.
She is rumoured to be Jiang Ren’s current girlfriend, but a lot of people didn’t believe it. Even if she is, relationships nowadays all end fast, girlfriends can be replaced.
Shu Lan got kicked out after being humiliated, but she’s aware that she shouldn’t piss off Jiang Ren, so she did not fight back.
In the surge of anger, she couldn’t help but blame Meng Ting, for screwing up the piano performance.
Shu Lan suddenly remembered his words, to be prettier than Sheng Yi Qing, she felt slightly taken aback.
She knows who’s prettier than Sheng Yi Qing, it’ll be Meng Ting. Her astonishing beauty seeping through her body was already stripped away from the spotlight for a few good years.
Meng Ting was always the centre of attention since young, Shu Lan still remembered her first time meeting Meng Ting when she was only 10 years old, her sharp features leaving a strong impression in people’s hearts. Her presence was to make others feel sad about themselves.
She’s like the crystal present that everyone wanted to touch.
She grits her teeth, one side thinking compared to Meng Ting, Sheng Yu Qing was nothing, another side of her thankful that Jiang Ren did not meet Meng Ting before the incident.

Meng Ting just walked out from Licai Vocational High, she noticed that school had just ended beside at Seven High.
Both of the high schools were near to each other. On the left stood Seven High, a public school. Students that studied there were scholars with excellent results; On the right stood Licai Vocational High, management was all over the place, but many rich kids studied there. It’s the ultimate heaven for spoiled brats from these wealthy families.
Since the schools were established, Seven High always looked down at the students in Li Cai as incompetent and useless students with horrific results, Li Cai looked down on them as poor people trying to act pretentious.
Meng Ting couldn’t help but gaze up towards her school’s electronic screen.
This screen was always used to promote and broadcast all kinds of things and events that were happening in school. The red words were appearing on the black screen.
_____
B University Famous Professor Zhang Hong’s talk, welcome all students to participate, venue……
Her eyes hurt, but she refused to take her eyes off the screen.
The words at the back flowed out: Today’s date—— October 11th, 19:03, Thursday.
It wasn’t a dream, she had really returned to 5 years ago. The turning point year of her short life. Meng Ting almost had the urge to cry, looking at the empty school compound, she tightly grabbed on her bag strap and walked towards the bus station.
Only a few buses head to her house, 30 minutes for one. Meng Ting took out her student transportation card while waiting at the station.
10 minutes passed, looking at every stop point on the map again confirming that this is the route home. Numerous times she wanted to go home in her last life, this time she finally was going to fulfil her wish.
However the bus did not come, the screeching sound of a motorbike could be heard from a distance, she tightened her grip on her stick, eyelashes quivering. She felt that something bad was going to happen.
The bike accelerated, breaking through the wind
He Jun Ming whistled, signalling: “ Boss Ren, it’s the blind girl we saw in school.”
Jiang Ren’s eyes that were under the helmet swept across
He took a swift turn and stopped in front of Meng Ting. Meng Ting couldn’t help but take a step back.
The wind blew her hair up, Meng Ting tucked her hair behind her ears, her bangs slightly ruffled.
Jiang Ren parked the car and took off his helmet.
He Jun Ming and Fang Tan both followed him and came to a stop.
Meng Ting remembered this year’s Jiang Ren.
This year, he had one piercing, a black diamond on it. His silver short hair was wild, it would have been a spectacle if it was on someone else, but he was able to carry it. Jiang Ren looked tough, not the innocent cute boy kind that would be in trend a few later, he carried a wild and manly vibe. A true bad boy.
He Jun Ming senselessly asked her: “Seven High’s scholar student, are you really blind?”
Meng Ting didn’t understand why they stopped here, listening to the abrupt question, slightly nodding her head.
Jiang Ren looked down at her, gaze grazing past her long hair: “What were you doing in our school, miss Seven High?”
Meng Ting’s heart tightened, she didn’t understand why he would appear here and decided to not talk altogether.
Fang Tan raised his eyebrows: “Can’t speak also?”
Meng Ting bit her lips, quietly standing there, nodding her head.
She nodded twice, and still did not reply to Jiang Ren’s questions. He took the helmet and hung it at the head of the vehicle, curling his lips and said: “Scholar, hop on, I’ll give you a ride home. Free of charge, think of it as charity work.”
He Jun Ming almost laughed out loud, hahaha caring for the diable! Should we help her cross the road too?
Fang Tan also suppressed his urge to laugh.
Meng Ting slowly shakes her head, not fighting back.
She stood very straight because it was spring, she wore a woven sweatshirt inside and Seven High’s school uniform and badge on the outside. Even if the outfit covered her bodyline, it still showed her flawless soft skin through her neck, delicate looking.
Jiang Ren took his lighter out to fiddle around.
The flame danced in front of his eyes, he looked at her, the glasses covered almost half of her face. She tightly held onto her stick, showing off a few glimpses of helplessness, she’s nervous.
“What’s in your bag, take it out.” Jiang Ren’s gaze fell on her jade-looking hands, she is fair, the black guiding stick looked like a black jade on her.
Meng Ting didn’t want to tamper with him, she just hoped that he would just leave. She obediently opened her school bag for him to take a look. She actually forgot what was inside her bag.
The zip open, inside had her physics and English textbook.
A pencil case, a glasses case and her purse.
Lastly, a box of mini strawberries.
This season was hard to get these strawberries, Father Shu put much effort in the experiment lab to get these nutritional greenhouse strawberries. Just one small box, he let Meng Ting eat them in school if she got hungry.
She remembered back then, Meng Ting was reluctant to eat them and gave them to her sister, Shu Lan.
“Give me the strawberries.”
Meng Ting’s fingers quivered, she didn’t move at the start.
Forget it, it doesn’t matter, just don’t anger him. Her fair hands passed him the strawberry box.
The other two were taken aback, snatching her things after humiliating her, she still didn’t get mad, what a good temper. This totally differentiated her from them.
“Why are you standing so far away, bring it over, do you expect me to come and help you over.”
Meng Ting raised her eyes, blinking as she was not used to the lighting. Looking at his direction, she passed the box to him.
Jiang Ren looked at her.
The October breeze was chilly, her face covered almost whole by the glasses, it was hard to get anything out from them. As she approached him, he smelled a mild scent of flowers.
She left the box on his motor and backed away.
The next moment, the bus arrived at the station.
Meng Ting zipped up her bag, without another sound, took her stick and headed towards the bus. She walked away steadily as she had never met them, and she never told the people on the bus about their “stealing” act.
The three were left there dumbfounded. He Jun Ming broke the silence and spoke softly: “Boss Ren, why would you bully her.”
A sense of accomplishment after bullying the blind? Or is it because she’s mute.
Mute and blind, how pitiful.
The bus drove away.
Jiang Ren used his thumb to flip open the transparent strawberry box, he didn’t bother to wash them, took one and plopped it in his mouth.
Surprisingly sweet.
He Jun Ming was drawn to them, couldn’t help but blurt out: “Boss Ren, share one with me then.”
Jiang Ren didn’t even look back at him, the strawberries along with the box were thrown into the rubbish bin, bullseye.
“Not ripe.” He replied.
“……”
“……”
“Forget about it then.”
Jiang Ren’s long legs crossed on the motor, without wearing his helmet. How could she so accurately put the strawberries on my bike, is she really blind? Or just faking it?

Meng Ting returned home, she got a grip of the keys from her purse, shakingly opened the door. This time, she really came home.
The teen on the living room sofa heard the sound and looked back, he saw Meng Ting, then coldly turned back to watch the football match.
Father Shu came out from the kitchen with an apron wrapped around him, while wiping his hands and welcomed her home, smiling warmly: “Ting Ting’s back, quick, go wash your hands, dinner’s almost ready. Lan didn’t follow you back? Aren’t you supposed to watch her perform today?”
Seeing him again after witnessing him pass away, Meng Ting couldn’t hold back her tears.
Father Shu is Meng Ting’s stepdad, Shu Zhi Tong. Meng Ting and her mother got into an accident, her mother passed away, and she was left with an eye injury that made her blind. Father Shu had to take care of the 3 kids, but he never thought of abandoning Meng Ting but viewed her as his own offspring.
Shu Lan and Shu Yang are his biological fraternal twins.
Meng Ting used to feel that she was the odd one out in the family, that was why she was always obedient and hardworking, taking care of the two siblings that were only two months younger than her. But now she was grateful that God had given her a second chance to start over, another chance to repay Father Shu for everything that he has done for her.
She will not let anything happen to him again so that he could happily enjoy his older days.
She put down her bag, reminded of Shu Lan, she softly said: “Shu Lan is eating out tonight, there’s a celebratory dinner she’s going to.
Meng Ting is clear as she met Jiang Ren just now, in other words, Shu Lan failed again.
No matter this life or the previous one, Jiang Ren didn’t really like Shu Lan.This is a magical part of destiny.
Before she went to bed that night, she reached over to her bag and took a look at her funny student card picture.
Father Shu made Meng Ting’s room very dark to protect her eyes. This picture was taken when she first entered grade 6, during that time, Meng Ting’s eyes were severely infected, she couldn’t be exposed to strong light, so the teacher let her cover her eyes with a white piece of cloth, and thereafter edited a pair of eyes on her.
Students that have been to their school would know how scary the school’s photography skill is.
That year, photoshop was not advanced as it is in the future, the eyes were dead looking, the tone didn’t match, everything felt out of place. It gave Meng Ting herself a shock.
As time went by, from grade 6 to 7, students all assumed that, even if Meng Ting’s eyes did recover, she would look similar to the one on her student card.
Meng Ting securely put it back in her bag, she did not complain about it anymore, she just missed her teachers and friends.
