If the School Bully is Played (H)

The light grey wall was washed down by a day's rain, turning into turbid sewage that flowed into the sewer ditch, revealing the mottled and faded wall. The corners were filled with garbage, and plastic bags and bricks could be seen everywhere. This was the slums in the south of the city, a place where the sun could never be found.

Walking through the damp and dark streets and heading deeper into the area, a breeze blew gently, and the air was filled with a pungent fishy smell and the stench of garbage, which made people feel physically uncomfortable.

The tattered iron door was half open, and a bag was casually thrown out, with the fish intestines inside scattered all over the ground. Occasionally, a cat looking for food passed by, walked over, picked up the food, and then ran away nimbly, wagging its tail.

Dark, dirty, wet and sticky...

Such is life living here.

With a "swish" sound, a noise was heard at the entrance of the lifeless alley, and a flattened can was kicked.

I saw a pair of white shoes stepping through a puddle of dirty water. Looking up, I saw a washed-out school uniform hanging empty on the boy who was as thin as a bamboo pole.

Occasionally a fly would buzz by, and the street lights would flash and then go out again.

However, the light at this moment was enough to see the boy's face clearly. His eyes were like ink and his skin was white and glowing. It was just that a slight malnutrition made him thin and weak. The blue veins were vaguely hidden under his sleeves. He had a kind of strange beauty and was extremely fragile.

His unconcealed beauty is like a pearl growing in a remote village, shining brightly.

Lu You was flashed by the light and raised his hand to cover his eyes, a charming look flashed across the corner of his eyes.

It was already getting dark. School was over very late, and the fact that this residential area was not in the sun made it seem even darker. However, Lu You was not affected at all. He swiftly moved around the obstacles at the entrance of the staircase, and his slender ankles flashed by.

The voice-controlled lights installed on the stairs had been broken for who knows how long. Lu You walked up the concrete steps and reached the fourth floor.

Through the door, one could hear a woman yelling and cursing in a vulgar and loud voice, a child crying and yelling, the sound of cooking and the range hood. It was so noisy and annoying.

Lu You lowered his head and pushed open the door. He didn't wear a rubber band today, and his slightly long hair fell down to cover his eyes, making him look a little gloomy and shrinking.

Lu You's parents died in a car accident when he was a child. Several relatives pushed each other and didn't want to take the responsibility of raising him. Later, his uncle's family, who were relatively distant relatives, were thrown in to take over this mess. In the first few years, the savings left by Lu You's parents were still there, and his uncle's family treated him well. But when the money was gone, the family's faces turned cold. No one wanted to treat this money-loser in a good way. They continued to beat and scold him as usual, and there was still a lot of work that needed to be done.

After entering the room, my uncle was sitting on the shabby sofa watching TV. When he saw Lu You come in, he didn't even raise his eyelids, as if he didn't see him at all. He was so amused by the TV program that his yellow teeth were exposed.
