I just thought of my friend. A lot of people call her Crab, and she’s a girl.

Gu Mingxi recalled a time when he was younger, about 7 or 8 years old. The kids at the compound were all a bit naughty and mischievous, and they didn’t really understand things. Some of them would be mean to him, like Zhang Jiaqi and Fu Liang, who never played frisbee with him.

At the time, Pang Qian was also still small. She followed Gu Mingxi everywhere. When Zhang Jiaqi brought kids over to bully him, Pang Qian would help him fight them off.

Pang Qian had always been very fierce. She really lived up to her “Crab” nickname. She was very good at fighting back, but still, she couldn’t fight against a boy several years older than herself. In the end, she and Gu Mingxi would always walk home all dirtied and dinged up.

They agreed not to tell their parents what happened. In the end, it was Old Zeng who told Gu Guoxiang what happened when he saw him.

A lot of the parents of the kids who lived in the compound worked for the metals company, and their positions would be lower than Gu Guoxiang’s. Zhang Jiaqi’s dad ended up being sent on a business trip to Lanzhou, Gansu Province for half a year. From then on, Zhang Jiaqi didn’t dare to bully Gu Mingxi and Pang Qian again.

A lot of time had already passed since then. From third grade onward, no one really bullied Gu Mingxi again. They all remembered the words of their parents and teachers. Gu Mingxi was a disabled child, and they should leave him be.

Parents told their kids, “Don’t play with him if you don’t have to. If he ends up falling down, you’ll get blamed for it too. His dad is very powerful, so don’t provoke him.”

And so, in all of the Golden Compound, Gu Mingxi’s only remaining friend was Pang Qian.

Gu Mingxi lied on the muddy ground, his clothes long ago stained with dirt. His body felt a faint pain. He saw Buzz-cut and Blondie walking off, so he clenched his teeth and started pulling himself up. Suddenly, Buzz-cut turned around and started heading back towards him.

The events that had just happened caught Buzz-cut by surprise, and Gu Mingxi’s actions were contrary to his previous attitude. He was only going to pull the chain from his ankle, but the youth acted as if he’d gone crazy. Not only didn’t he let the guy take away the chain, he even kicked him several times.

He was still lying on the ground, unable to stand up. He called out, “I already gave you the money! Don’t take the chain! It’s not worth money!”

Buzz-cut’s anger rose up from inside, and he kicked viciously at Gu Mingxi’s legs. Gu Mingxi couldn’t hide from it, his legs burning with pain now. Buzz-cut already saw that the chain on his ankle wasn’t gold, just some worthless beads, but his anger couldn’t be contained. He just had to take that chain. He couldn’t untie the knot, so he just tugged at it, but it still didn’t come off. Then he pulled out a blade to just cut it off.

Gu Mingxi shouted out loudly, his body continually flailing, his legs struggling endlessly. Buzz-cut’s hand slipped, and the chain wasn’t cut. Rather, there was now a hole in Gu Mingxi’s right leg.

Blood started flowing out, and Blondie got scared. He came over to pull Buzz-cut away, but he was unwilling to leave. Just then, a shout came from the exit of the alley, “What’s going on?!”

Blondie and Buzz-cut turned looked back, then started running. The person at the alley exit was about to chase after them, but seeing Gu Mingxi, he stopped in his tracks, a frown on his face.
