How to write a story with the weakest superpower as the inspiration?

I have the ability to read minds, that seems pretty cool, right?

But my mind reading ability only works on one of my junior schoolmates.

In the vast crowd, I could only hear her thoughts.

It’s so weak…

What’s more terrifying is that this school girl,

I don’t study or chase stars every day, I don’t want to eat hot pot, milk tea or skewers.

He’s always thinking about eating my flesh…

1

When I was in the second year of high school, I was taking an exam when I suddenly heard a voice.

[What does human flesh taste like? ]

I was stunned. Who was talking?

Looking around, I saw that my classmates were all writing their test papers with their heads down.

【I want to eat healthy, fresh human flesh once】

The strange sound appeared again.

I glared at the examination room, however, it was completely silent and no one spoke at all.

Only the invigilator glared at me.

The bell for handing in the papers rang, and the sound disappeared.

I handed in the test paper reluctantly, but I still couldn’t figure it out – thinking back, the voice sounded like a girl. And it sounded like she was talking to herself.

The key point is, who is speaking here?

2

At the school gate, I got on my bike.

[That boy looks very healthy]

The voice appeared again.

While I was distracted, I felt something hit my calf.

I turned around in surprise, but it was a young girl.

Looking down, I saw that she was half a body shorter than me and sitting in a wheelchair.

One of the wheels hit my calf.

I’m sorry… She pushed the wheelchair back and said apologetically: There was something wrong with the chair… I lost control.

She looks quite cute, but she is thin.

And when he spoke, he kept looking at the ground.

I followed her gaze and saw that my student ID had fallen to the ground in the collision.

【So his name is Wang Junyi】

I bent down to pick it up, but suddenly froze there.

That’s the name on my student ID.

【I want to eat him】

I straightened up stiffly and met her gaze.

She looked at me calmly: What?

I asked in disbelief: You… want to eat me?

silence.

There was a long silence.

The girl still had a calm expression, but her breathing became noticeably faster.

In the next few dozen seconds, her panicked screams played in my mind on a loop.

[How did he he he know? ! ! ! ! ]

3

We didn’t remain deadlocked for too long that afternoon.

A buddy came up to me and called out: “Come on, Wang Junyi! Are you going online?”

I was distracted and when I turned around, the girl had already walked away in the wheelchair.

Like running away.

I declined my buddy’s invitation and rode my bike on the way home. The more I thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed.

What is going on?

There was no mistake, the voice I heard in my mind was hers, exactly the same.

Also, her panicked reaction seemed like I had guessed what she was thinking.

Wait… ideas?

I suddenly remembered the novels I used to read, about mind reading, telepathy and so on.

Recalling her voice, talking to herself, babble, without any concealment, it was clearly like what she was muttering in her heart.

So, I heard…her inner voice?!

Damn, I have grown up…

Wait?!

I realized something and slammed on the brakes, almost flipping over.

This woman, is she thinking about eating my flesh?

What’s wrong with her?!

4

I’ve heard of that girl.

In the toilet, my buddy was smoking and talking.

Only then did I know that her name was Yu Xiaoxiao and she was one year younger than us.

The buddy recalled while smoking: My brother was her classmate in junior high school… It is said that this girl was bullied badly in the past.

I was stunned: Being bullied?

My friend said: It happened in junior high school. My classmates saw that she was in a wheelchair, isolated her, called her disabled, and threw her books. What’s worse, after school, they pushed her down a very high slope, and she fell to a bloody mess… She was bullied to the point of almost dying.

I was speechless for a moment. Bullying the odd ones out is indeed the greatest pleasure for kids of that age.

My friend went on to say: “It got much better later. She became prettier and prettier, and fewer people bullied her. However, she was quiet and cold, and still had few friends.”

My friend responded: Why are you asking about her? Do you have any feelings for her?

Damn, how is that possible? You’re the only one in my heart.

Roll roll roll.

I put out the cigarette in my hand, made some random comment and tried to get away with it.

To be honest, it would be a lie to say I don’t sympathize with her. But the question is – she wants to eat my flesh, what’s going on?

5

There was only one cigarette left in my pocket, so I gave it to my buddy and went ahead.

I was washing my hands outside when I suddenly felt something hit my calf.

I turned around dreamily.

It’s her.

And that damn wheelchair that hit my calf.

She raised her head and said quietly: Find me in the music classroom after school.

The tone of her giving orders really annoys me.

I squeezed out a few words from between my teeth: Who are you? Why am I looking for you?

Unexpectedly, she lowered her head and began to sob quietly.

She cried and said: You said you would always tolerate me, why are you ignoring me…

I was stunned. Isn’t this an accusation against me?

I almost collapsed, and suddenly realized that she was not talking to me at all. The classmates around me cast surprised and contemptuous looks at me.

She was still mumbling, and I went over to cover her mouth.

Suddenly she cried out miserably: I know I was wrong, please don’t hit me anymore!

Just then my buddy came out of the toilet.

He looked at me, and then he looked at her.

I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person! He cursed and said, “You came up to me without even washing your hands.”

I was beaten without a trace. Suddenly, I heard her sinister voice again.

[If he still doesn’t agree, I’ll completely ruin his reputation today]

She’s fucking playing me!

I’m going, why can’t I go?! I collapsed and yelled.

6

This girl tried every means to force me to find her. What exactly does she want to do?

Soon, I had the answer.

After school, I stood at the door of the music classroom.

I knew there was a mechanism behind the door – as long as I pushed the door open, the bricks on the door frame would be pulled by the fishing line and fall down, hitting the back of my head.

This is a device designed to knock me out.

So the question is, why did I know so much – I heard every little thing she muttered in her heart without missing a single word!

[When he faints, I can eat whatever piece of his meat I want…]

Still muttering.

I sighed, opened the window from the side, and climbed in.

She was still secretly happy, so I said hello, and in front of her, I dismantled her mechanism and took away her rubber ball!

8

I stood on tiptoe, removed the brick from the door frame, and shook it in my hand.

I said: Bricks are too brittle, at most they will cause a little bleeding, you need to use stone, the solid kind.

I turned around and found that she was still in a daze.

Hello. I called her.

She came back to her senses.

It was very strange. Her plan was discovered and she should have been embarrassed, but her eyes were fixed on me.

She said in a deep voice: Okay, can you answer me a question?

hold head high?

Why do you always know what I am thinking? Her eyes are fixed on me.

9

The setting sun stretched out, shining on the unusually clean surface of her shoes.

Her feet are very small, probably because she has been in a wheelchair for many years.

This is really a problem that gives me a headache.

I scratched my head and said: Mind reading? Telepathy? I’m not sure, anyway, I can hear your thoughts. And, I can only hear your thoughts… I think it should be considered telepathy, after all, I can only sense your thoughts.

She let out a long “oh”.

[Damn, you can really edit]

I was very upset: It’s not edited well!

She was startled.

[Is this true?! ]

real!

[Oh my god! Try calling him an idiot in your heart…]

You are the idiot!

Her eyes widened, and it was obvious that she was really shocked. This time she didn’t even have any thoughts, and it was obvious that she was so shocked that her brain had shut down.

After a while, she stammered: Why, can you hear it?

I don’t know! Now I ask you, why do you want to eat me?

It’s none of your business.

I was so angry that I said, “Listen! What are you talking about!”

She covered her ears with her hands.

[If I cover my ears, can he still hear me…]

I crossed my arms and sneered: Do you think your ears are the source of the signal?

She had no choice but to put down her hands: So, why can you hear it?

Is this the end? Tell me why you want to eat me!

You first!

You first!

You first, you first, you first!

@#￥！……

10

By the end of the day, we both argued until we were exhausted, but there was still no conclusion.

Finally I couldn’t stand it anymore, I put on my schoolbag and said, “You can talk or not, I’m going home to play ball.”

She called me from behind.

Hey, how about we make a deal?

hold head high?

If you cut me a piece of meat, I will only have a small piece.

Huh?! I laughed again: Thank you, no way!

Please, she begged.

Roll, roll, roll!

She stopped talking and glared at me fiercely.

[If you have the guts, I will come up with a perfect plan and eat you sooner or later…]

I was too lazy to pay attention to her, and just said, “It’s useless to think about anything, I can hear it all.” I’ll piss you off to death.

He left without looking back.

After walking a few steps, I heard her whisper again:

【If i consider it by English，maybe he cannot understand……】

It didn’t work! I raised my arms and shouted outside the classroom: I can understand you speaking English!

【Fuck！】

Flower oil too!

11

I was trying to trick her, thanks to the simple English. If the grammar was more complicated, I would be at a loss.

But what I didn’t expect was that he would eat me.

She was determined to eat me.

I was in class that day, looking at the geometric shapes on the blackboard in confusion.

All of a sudden.

[Wang Junyi, come and trade with me after class.] — Her inner voice.

I sneered. Is he trying to communicate with me using brain waves?

[If you don’t come, I will torture you in the most cruel way…]

I continued to sneer. With your physical condition, who can you torture?

[The lake is your eyes, the dream is a sky full of stars, the mood is a legend, waiting forever…]

I was stunned.

Her singing.

Quite unpleasant.

The point is, she sang it at triple speed, over and over again.

Singing endlessly.

[La la la la, the lake is your eyes and the dream is a sky full of stars…]

For the entire next class, my head was filled with her humming and singing!

I covered my ears, but it was no use. Her singing was everywhere! It was so noisy that it could kill me!

I almost went crazy – this is a fucking mental attack!

12

When I rushed to her classroom, she was still singing with her heart out, her head swaying from side to side.

I yelled, “Stop singing!” Then she stopped and looked at me with a smile.

Classmate? She pretended to be very innocent: What do you want to talk to me about?

Classmates in the class looked at him sideways.

I didn’t care anymore, so I went over to push her wheelchair and walked out with gritted teeth.

13

I opened the door of the music classroom and pushed her in.

She looked at me smugly: What, you want to make a deal?

“Cross, cross, cross,” I said weakly.

If you dare to regret it, I have other songs.

Sister, that’s enough. I was completely convinced: Just stop singing, and everything will be fine.

Well, as I said before, cut me a piece of meat.

If you don’t hesitate when the time comes, it would be fake.

I smiled awkwardly and wanted to negotiate: How about we give you a discount?

Discount?

I’ll peel off two pieces of foot skin for you every day. They’re all meat, and the ingredients are the same. You can make do with them…

She was silent.

【vomit!……】

You are very picky about food. I can give you another portion of scalp.

【Ugh! Ugh! …】

I had no choice but to sit on the ground and start to beg: Anyway, I can’t give you the meat, but you can have whatever you like.

It can be seen that she was quite angry and her fists were clenched.

However, she did not continue singing. She took a long breath and calmed down.

She said: I can not eat you for now, but I have a condition.

Oh? I definitely have enough of my feet.

Shut up! If you raise your foot again, I will crush you to death!!! I will crush you to death!!!

She pushed the wheel and was about to crush me, which scared me so much that I quickly shut up.

She calmed herself down again and said: You have to be my follower.

attendant?

Take me to and from school, buy me water and snacks. In short, you do whatever I ask you to do. She paused and said: In addition, you are always available when I call you.

…Isn’t this what being a slave means?

She praised me: Good understanding.

I gritted my teeth and said, okay, as long as you don’t let me cut my flesh, I’ll accept it.

make a deal.

Go get me a bottle of water. She ordered me: Pikachu, go, go.

bibibi I’ll electrocute you to death!

I went to the store to buy some water, cursing.

14

I am Wang Junyi, a candidate for the class bully of Class 21 of Senior High School.

…and now she is the slave of this wheelchair girl.

Being on call means that as soon as she calls me in her heart, I must go.

[Wang Junyi, go get me some hot water]

[Wang Junyi, come and teach me physics after class]

[Wang Junyi, come and help me fix my wheelchair]

【Wang Junyi Wang Junyi Wang Junyi✖N……】

I have to be on standby all the time because I never know when she will call me.

When I smoke, when I squat in the toilet, when I flirt with the girls in my class…

【Wang Junyi】

At the command, I rushed towards her wheelchair like Pavlov’s dog.

Sometimes I wake up from my sleep, but it’s not a nightmare that wakes me up.

It was her horrifying mumbling in her dream.

[Is this Wang Junyi’s meat… woooo…]

[It’s really delicious]

I am so special! …

15

I looked tired and hid in a corner with my buddies to smoke.

To be precise, only my buddy is smoking – this woman has been forcing me to quit smoking recently in order to improve the quality of my meat.

I took a deep breath of the secondhand smoke in the air and said sadly: Anyway, this is the situation. Abai, do you have any suggestions?

After hearing all the stories, my jaw almost dropped.

…Do you really have telepathy?

Yes, you have asked this question three times.

So, what do you think of me right now?

I could only hear what she was thinking…I’ve said this answer three times!

The buddy still had a look of disbelief on his face, and suddenly, he stood up.

Go. He called me.

I was stunned: What?

Go watch Telepathy.

16

During the break, the three of us gathered in the canteen.

The guy held up a piece of paper to the girl.

【three】

I turned my back to them and answered helplessly: It says three on the paper.

The buddy opened his mouth in surprise: It’s amazing!

【**】

The wheelchair girl cursed silently in her heart.

My buddy came to his senses and pulled me aside.

It seems that this time, he really believed it.

He patted my shoulder and whispered: Don’t worry, I’ll take care of her.

He came up to the girl, raised his fist and shook it: If you don’t want to be beaten, don’t harass Wang Junyi in the future, do you understand?

It seemed to work, and the girl dodged in fear.

Don’t sing in your heart either… My buddy, convey my complaints.

Suddenly.

The girl’s eyes were filled with tears.

My buddy and I were all stunned.

She kept sobbing, her face was pale and pitiful.

Like a cute little girl who is being bullied.

She grabbed her buddy’s hand with her fingers and looked at him miserably: I know I was wrong, please don’t hit me.

The touch of fingers is ambiguous.

Something was thumping in the air.

That’s the sound of my brother’s heart beating at a very fast speed.

Although I couldn’t hear what my buddy was thinking, I knew that this old bachelor was killed by this girl with one blow.

My buddy coughed dryly, turned around and pulled me aside.

Xiao Wang. My friend hugged me and sighed: I have to criticize you for this, you give her a piece of meat, it won’t be less meat, right?

What kind of logic is this…

What are we gentlemen doing with all that clacking and swishing?

Brother Abai is still so good to me… The girl was so moved that she choked with tears.

Turning around, my good brother, our Brother Abai, was stunned again.

His face was filled with so much happiness that it was about to burst onto my face!

Xiao Wang, I command you to give her a bite right now! Right now!!!

I fuck! …

I took a few steps back, and the girl stared at me with a sinister smile, which made me feel creepy.

I can hear what she is thinking at this moment.

That was specially for me to hear.

[Wang Junyi, you dare to resist me… guess how I will punish you? ]

I completely broke down.

17

I, Wang Junyi, am a candidate for class bully.

…Now I am carrying the girl on my back and running 3,000 meters on the playground.

This was her punishment for me, and by the way, it also helped her exercise.

She made sarcastic remarks to me on my back for a while, then stopped talking and just leaned against my back.

Is this… smelling my flesh?

I shuddered and ran faster.

Actually, I’m not tired. This girl is much lighter than I thought.

Like carrying a ball of cotton.

18

I carried her back to the wheelchair.

I lifted my clothes and wiped the sweat off my face. When I came to my senses, I found that she was staring at my abdomen.

I actually blushed and quickly covered myself with my clothes.

Wang Junyi…she said after a moment of silence.

What are you doing? I responded angrily.

When can I eat your meat?

I was speechless. It’s a good question, and one I hope I’ll never have to ask.

When she saw that I didn’t answer, she snorted.

Um, what’s wrong with your body? I thought about it and asked her.

She was silent.

Don’t mention this.

I was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was her inner voice.

I said sorry. But she was obviously even more dissatisfied: Can you please stop listening to my feelings all the time? I have no privacy.

I smiled awkwardly: You said… I can hear your inner voice, is God trying to stop you?

What’s the meaning?

I’m stopping you from eating my flesh, young man, so you can turn back.

She rolled her eyes: Idiot, I don’t want to bother with you.

I became even more curious: So, why do you have to eat my flesh? Why, why, why?

She didn’t answer, and I couldn’t help but speculate and kept on talking: Is it because this can better show that you are different from others?

It’s understandable that a little girl likes to fantasize at this age, after all.

Her expression changed, and I saw that this might be a good idea, so I just kept talking endlessly.

Your mother made such delicious meals for you, but you insisted on eating the messy meat from outside. She would be so sad if she knew it.

You are still growing, don’t be picky about food and grow well. Be good~~

I acted like a caring older brother and was about to touch her head.

Snap! A sound.

She slapped my hand away.

Only then did I realize that her eyes had turned red without me noticing.

She looked at me fiercely, clenched her teeth and said nothing.

She suppressed her sadness, but failed to hide her feelings.

She is dead

I was stunned.

还有一句心声，很微弱，我甚至分不清，那是不是我的错觉。

[After eating you, I can finally make up my mind… to meet her]

19

Did I ask a question that I shouldn’t have asked?

unknown.

After that day, she seemed to have disappeared.

Several days passed and he never called me in his heart once.

Of course I knew she was still in school, and from time to time I could still hear what she was thinking.

Problem-solving ideas, Jerry Yan is so handsome… and so on, or reciting ancient poems.

But I can’t hear any of those thoughts about [eating human flesh].

Is she avoiding me?

I have a vague feeling.

She was not as strong as she appeared.

But it doesn’t matter, it’s good enough to have a quiet life.

However, there was only one person who was deeply dissatisfied with this.

My buddy.

He would go to her every now and then and ask her what was wrong with her and why she stopped bullying Xiao Wang. This was wrong. This was really wrong!

I fucking… Of course the other party ignored him and sent him back every time.

20

During a break one afternoon, I was hiding in the bathroom, smoking and daydreaming.

【Wang Junyi……】

She suddenly called me in her heart.

I was stunned.

The voice was helpless.

I was still hesitating when her inner voice came back again.

[It’s okay, I was just yelling for fun]

I couldn’t help but curse inwardly. I really don’t understand what girls nowadays are thinking.

I heard it, but I didn’t understand it.

21

The bell rang, and it was the last class before school was over.

I shook my head and found that my buddy came back in a hurry with a frown on his face.

She’s in trouble, he said.

What? I was stunned.

22

I don’t know exactly what happened.

During the break, he went to her class again with a wicked heart.

She is not here.

After asking her classmates, I found out that she had not shown up the entire afternoon.

There was a female classmate who was pushed away by several boys when she came to class at noon.

Those boys looked like scoundrels, like students from a vocational high school.

One of the boys grabbed her hair and shook it hard a few times. It was not something that friends would do at all, it was more like humiliating her.

My friend was very angry at the time and asked the girl why she didn’t stop him. The hesitant expression on the girl’s face said it all.

Except us.

This girl in the wheelchair has never had any friends.

23

On the podium, the teacher cursed and urged the students to sit down and attend class.

My buddy and I looked at each other. At this moment, we were both faced with the same question: where would she be now?

Separately? I said: I’ll go to the vocational high school first, you…

I looked everywhere! Damn it!

We rushed out of the classroom.

24

My buddy and I got on our respective bikes and raced off in our separate directions.

Speaking of which, I usually avoid vocational high school students.

I also fight, but it’s all because of some quarrels. No one wants to get involved in violence.

But the boys there are different, they can create quarrels just for the sake of fighting.

The fighting power is extremely strong.

The vocational high school had already finished school, and there were only a few students on campus.

Looking around, there was no sign of her.

Not in this way…

I remembered something and stopped a girl: Um… Where do the boys in your school usually like to take people to talk? The special ones, the ones that avoid the security guards…

Fortunately, the girl understood what I meant and pointed me in a distant direction.

A public toilet in a vocational high school.

I hurried over there. The public toilet looked quite old. It was old and rotten, with a lingering stench.

Getting closer…

From a distance, I saw a wheelchair with broken wheels and a broken frame, lying outside the men’s restroom.

It’s her wheelchair.

My heart was hit hard.

24

There was no one in the men’s room.

There was only one compartment, and the door was locked from the inside.

I knocked, and there was deathly silence inside.

I said: It’s me.

[Why, come…]

Hearing her thoughts, I breathed a sigh of relief at an inopportune time.

What happened? I asked her.

[You go]

I lowered my brows and said nothing.

【Didn’t you hear me telling you to leave?】

[You go]

[…Can you please leave me alone? Please…]

25

I am your slave. I comforted her, open the door, as long as you let me forget everything I saw today, I will forget it.

There was silence for a long time, even the voice in my heart was silent.

A faint snapping sound.

The door opened.

What caught my eye was her dirty appearance.

His hair was all messed up, there were shoe prints on his clothes, and he was slumped over on the ground.

She turned her head, avoiding my sight.

26

I carried her outside, silent all the way.

I put her on a relatively clean surface and let her sit on my clothes.

I wanted to walk away and check her wheelchair, but she grabbed my wrist.

She was still afraid.

I sighed and sat down next to her.

How did it become like this? This time, I asked her in a different way.

I want them to apologize

Apologize? I turned to look at her in astonishment, and she covered her ears in annoyance.

Could you please stop eavesdropping on me? she said.

I smiled helplessly.

She covered her ears and said nothing. To prevent me from eavesdropping, she began to recite ancient poems in her heart, [I left Baidi in the morning among the colorful clouds, don’t you see the water of the Yellow River…] in a mess.

This is not a solution after all.

I said: Tell me, and I will give you my flesh to eat.

I said: Don’t you want to trade?

She paused.

I said: I will never lie to you.

She gritted her teeth and turned her head.

What do you want to know?

who are they?

Junior high school, classmates. She lowered her eyes and said.

Suddenly, I realized that the boys who took her away were the ones who bullied her in junior high school. She probably wanted their apology, but ended up angering them instead.

Why do you suddenly want them to apologize?

Don’t mention this.

I nodded. Okay, I won’t ask any more questions. Then what do they do to you…

It’s nothing, just like in middle school. Just some laughs and kicks… I’m used to it.

I was silent.

My friend’s words: She was bullied to the point of nearly dying. They are still ringing in my ears.

I can’t imagine what kind of life she lived at that time.

How did he survive?

I said: I will go find them…I will make them pay.

To my surprise, she lowered her head even lower.

[You, don’t sympathize with me]

I stood there in a daze.

[Once I am pitied, I feel defeated]

[No, not even a little bit, not at all]

I felt like a soft spot in my chest was pierced viciously.

Her face flushed and she turned her head away in anger, probably because she knew that she had failed to hide her feelings.

I was silent for a while, thought about it, and said: Damn, you’re overthinking it, sister.

I am afraid that it is too late for you, how can I sympathize with you? I said.

I patted my butt and stood up.

She looked at me suspiciously: What are you doing?

Boss, I’m waiting for you to order me around. How do you want to bully me today?

Her previous helplessness and loss of composure finally disappeared completely, and she returned to her usual high spirits.

Take me home first.

Okay!

27

I carried her all the way back, pushing the wheelchair that was no longer usable.

Her home was in a residential building along the river. It was old, and when I carried her upstairs, I could smell the smell of burning coal.

At her house, I found some tools and repaired her wheelchair.

Looking around secretly, she saw low handrails everywhere, beside the bed, against the wall…all to facilitate her moving her body.

Like a different world.

There are always some details that embellish the cruel reality.

There was a crude piece of wood on wheels.

I’ve heard that it’s very difficult for a disabled person to get into a wheelchair on their own.

At home, I often get used to lying on this board and moving ugly on the ground.

On the wall of the living room.

It’s a photo of her mother.

……

Hey, stop looking. She said, if you look again, you will be sent out to repair.

I lowered my head and concentrated on turning the wrench.

He wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

The world always bullies the weak and fears the strong.

Bad fate never befalls bad people.

28

That day I repaired the wheelchair, wiped it clean, and held her back in the wheelchair.

She pushed the wheel and took a turn around the living room.

It felt like I was putting on a new dress and she was spinning in front of me.

Turned his head.

It’s getting late, and it’s time for me to go.

I said: I know where you live. If you need anything, just call me in your heart.

I was about to leave, but she called me from behind.

Hello, little slave.

I turned around.

She turned her face away, her face slightly red, and pointed at the dirt on her body.

Help me take a bath… before you leave… she said, her voice gradually becoming lower.

I was stunned.

Something was thumping in the air.

I feel like, with this heart rate, I’m going to die!

29

Given her physical condition, it is not very convenient for her to wash herself.

Very reasonable, very reasonable brother.

I kept telling myself not to think too much.

This is indeed the case.

I was wrapped in a bath towel from her house.

A rag that came from nowhere covered my eyes.

Under the shower, I followed her instructions and wiped her naked body with a towel.

The mist rose, and my fingers accidentally touched her skin, which was very soft.

She said quietly: Every time you touch me, I will bite off a piece of your flesh and bite you to death.

I apologized profusely.

While wiping her legs, I noticed something.

Her legs were very thin and had scabbed wounds, probably bedsores.

What happened to your leg? …Can I ask?

She was silent for a moment.

Born unable to walk, she said.

Why don’t you hire a nurse? Someone should help you exercise your legs…

I paused, realizing I had asked a stupid question.

If this condition existed, how could she not invite him?

I will help you in the future… I said: You can teach me how to take care of you, or I can learn somewhere else.

…You are truly the most self-aware slave I have ever seen.

There’s no need to praise me like that.

I wrapped my hand completely with the towel, groped, lifted her back, and wiped it down.

I whispered: Can you tell me about it?

What?

How did it become like this?

I answered it.

I mean…your home, and your present.

She was silent.

Maybe it’s a sincere meeting.

She was much more honest.

Can I use my heart?

Yeah, I can hear you.

30

That day, warm mist filled the air under the shower.

She told me everything calmly in her heart.

A young girl, born paraplegic.

Dad suggested abandoning the girl, but mom refused.

After all day of quarreling, finally, on a sunny afternoon, Dad left.

Dad started a family with someone else.

She and her mother only have each other.

Those times were like a fairy tale.

Her mother took good care of her, worked, raised her, accompanied her as she grew up, and went to school with her.

She couldn’t even feel the difference between herself and normal people…

The price is mother’s hard work day and night.

One night when I was in junior high school, my mother, who was working overtime in the early morning, collapsed at her workplace.

Never wake up again.

……

【Did you know】

[When I was in junior high school, those people bullied me, not because I was disabled]

Because I don’t have a mother anymore

[In the past, my mother would accompany me and take care of me at school]

[My mother is gone, and I can’t do anything with my legs]

[I had to hold my pee in. I couldn’t hold it in anymore and it leaked in the classroom]

[They said I smelled, called me dirty, and said I would poop on myself]

[Yes, I admit that I did]

[But when did things get out of control? ]

[At first, they just laughed, and then slowly turned into insults]

【Later, they started throwing my schoolbag and pushing over my desk. Later, they became more and more reckless, and more and more people joined in. Even the girls in my class warned me to stay away from them so as not to infect them with my disability. I screamed for help, but they just thought it was harsh and noisy…】

[I finally realized that I can’t go back to the fairy tale]

[Mom can no longer protect me]

……

I reached out and touched her cheek.

It was wet, I didn’t know if it was tears or hot water.

Suddenly, my vision returned.

It was she who took off the rag covering my eyes.

Through the mist, I could vaguely see that she had tears in her eyes and was looking at me calmly.

There were bruises and scars all over her body.

New wounds, old wounds.

I was repeating everything she told me.

[The teacher came to me and said that he would take care of those people. But he also advised me to go home and find someone who doesn’t despise me and get married.]

[I don’t want it]

【I want to continue studying】

[I want to study, pass the exam, go to a big city, and live a normal life]

[This is what my mother has always hoped for]

[As long as they don’t kill me, I will continue to study]

[I started using diapers on myself]

【Install handrails at home】

[Use the living expenses saved every week to hire a nurse to come and clean my body]

……

I suddenly realized that she wanted me to help her today because all her money for this week was stolen.

[As long as they don’t kill me…]

She breathed softly and stopped talking, including her inner thoughts.

Suddenly, I really wanted to go up and hug her.

It has nothing to do with gender or evil thoughts.

She saw what I was thinking, raised her head and smiled at me.

That smile easily shattered me.

[I told you, don’t sympathize with me. Not even a little bit.]

She said: Please help me dry my hair, Wang Junyi.

31

There is one thing I can’t figure out.

She wants to eat human flesh and ask those people to apologize…

What is the purpose of doing these things?

That day I dried her body, changed her clothes, bought her some food from downstairs, and had dinner with her.

All that’s left is spending the night at her house.

Before leaving, I asked her, when are you… going to eat my meat?

After asking this question, I felt it was magical myself – I was really a cheapskate, how could I be so willing to do it?

Now then, dessert.

I was shocked, but then I just accepted it, closed my eyes, and put my arm to her mouth.

She took a bite.

It hurts.

[Is this considered eating? ]

[Finally… there’s only one thing left]

I was stunned for a moment, and when I came to my senses, she let go of her mouth.

He raised his hand and saw a row of her teeth marks on his arm.

What are you doing? …

I’ve eaten, I’ve eaten. Go, Pikachu, go, go. She waved her hand and sent me away.

32

I forgot someone.

My buddy.

He spent the entire night in the county town, riding his bicycle and running around. He asked everyone he met if they had seen a girl in a wheelchair. She was in danger. She was damn dangerous!

Later, nothing was found, and even I was nowhere to be found. So all kinds of horrible speculations emerged, such as the girl’s body being destroyed, human trafficking, and kidney removal…

I met him at the door of the police station.

At that time, he was hugging the police’s thighs, begging them to search the whole city for rescue. I kowtow to them and beg them!

I didn’t dare to go up and tell him the truth.

33

The next day, we both showed up at the vocational high school.

I had a bruised face and nose (from being beaten by my buddies), and the two of them were ready to fight.

My buddy found out through his cousin who were the people who bullied her back then.

We caught up with them at the vocational high school.

There are about ten people in total, worthy of being a small gang that often fights. They all look strong and healthy.

They were all a little surprised, probably because they had never seen such a fight before, with only two students from a regular high school coming over to challenge each other.

My buddy and I removed the T-locks from the bikes.

He asked me: So, how to fight?

The left side belongs to me.

I outflanked from the right.

Kill them!

We both held the T-lock, shouted together, and rushed towards the group of people.

34

In the melee, no one can take care of themselves.

I knocked one down with the T-lock in my hand. Suddenly, I was hit hard on the back of my head by an elbow. I felt dizzy and almost fainted on the spot.

I was knocked down and kicked wildly on the ground.

I protected my head, I lost count of the number of people, and my mouth had a strong taste of blood.

In the dizziness, I heard her voice again.

【Wang Junyi, you are not in the class】

Where have you been?

【……】

You went to find them, right?

[You are always like this, like to meddle in other people’s affairs]

【……】

【Thank you】

I don’t know what she is talking about. She always sounds mysterious.

I recovered from the dizziness, and my buddy helped me push through the crowd. But his leg was seriously injured, and he was staggering and could hardly stand. He held up a T-lock and stood by my side, barely intimidating the people around him.

I got up in a panic and looked at my buddy.

Two people were thinking about the same thing.

After fighting for so long, we can see who is the leader of the other side.

The leader was caught by his buddies’ hand without paying attention.

My buddy immediately threw him down and pinned him down. I didn’t care and used T-locks, fists, kicks, and anything else that could injure me to hit the leader.

Someone came up to pull me up, and there was also a ruthless guy who hit me on the head like crazy.

Blood flowed from my forehead, obscuring my vision…it’s not a big deal.

——I have given people baths with my eyes blindfolded before!

35

Those boys finally gave in.

I spat out a mouthful of blood from my mouth. A tooth seemed to be loose. Damn it.

Throw them paper and pen.

I said: The apology letter should be at least 100 words long and everyone must sign it.

36

My buddy and I supervised them writing the apology letter. Their handwriting was all crooked and we couldn’t see much sincerity.

We didn’t dare to force them anymore. If we really had to fight again, we would probably die young.

One of the boys complained: Why do you all like to do this kind of paper stuff?

What? I was stunned.

When I asked, I found out that when they searched her for money yesterday, they also found a note.

There were some puzzling things written on it.

37

My buddy and I found the torn-up note in the public toilet.

Enduring the stench, they dug out all the information. The two racked their brains to piece it together, and finally got it right.

We were all stunned.

There are a lot of things to be done written on it.

Eat ice cream all day long;

Have a lackey;

Make those who bullied me apologize;

……

There are about ten things in total, and the last one is…

After completing this bucket list, die.

38

Almost all the items on this bucket list are checked off, meaning they are completed.

Only two things left.

Make those who bullied me apologize.

Try a food that no one has ever eaten.

There was a parenthesis after this, with several options, penguin meat, tree bark… Obviously someone had tasted them all, so she crossed them out.

Only one is left:

Cute boy’s meat.

PS: Just a small sip is enough.

Suddenly, I understood one thing.

It turned out that I heard her inner voice for the first time.

That’s when she was making this bucket list.

That’s when she decided when to die.

If fate had a knot, then it was at that moment that my hand and hers were tied together.

39

I looked at the paper with trembling eyes.

I know that we have fulfilled all her wishes without knowing it.

After completing this bucket list, die…

My buddy and I rushed out of the public toilet.

[I’m sorry, Wang Junyi]

Her voice echoed clearly in my mind.

[I didn’t mean to plot against you]

[It doesn’t matter whether they apologize or not]

[Yesterday, when I mustered up the courage to ask them to say sorry to me, I already had no regrets]

Thank you for letting me eat your meat.

[Finally, I don’t have to wait any longer]

Damn it. Damn it.

I cursed in my heart.

I had never thought of this.

She needs to work a hundred times harder to live like a normal person.

She couldn’t hold on any longer.

Oh shit!

She had planned her own death, after that.

The arrogance when he ordered me around;

And now to the present conspiracy.

She was squandering the rest of her life.

Like a dying planet, bursting out with brilliant light.

40

My buddy and I got on our bikes and rushed to school like crazy.

Let me hear her voice, let me hear what she is thinking…

I kept begging in my heart.

There is only silence in my mind.

How long has it been?

Why hasn’t her voice been heard yet?

Has she already…

I kept comforting myself, but when I arrived at school, a lot of people had already gathered behind the teaching building.

The teacher was running and someone was screaming.

41

There was a senior girl crying and saying that she didn’t mean it. It was the girl who begged us to take her to the rooftop to get some fresh air.

Seeing that the girl was cute, she didn’t think much about it and took the girl upstairs.

Who knew that as soon as she entered, the girl yelled at her to back off and then slammed the door…

We rode our bikes, rushing downstairs recklessly.

She’s upstairs! The buddy suddenly shouted.

Looking up, I saw her figure, sitting in the repaired wheelchair, teetering on the edge of the roof.

Far away.

I saw the most desperate scene in my life.

She pushed the wheelchair gently, and she was caught by gravity and fell down.

A shadow fell from the sky.

42

There was a loud bang on the ground.

I almost suffocated.

The broken wheelchair was spinning on the ground.

There was complete silence.

I looked up and could see her hanging just below the edge of the rooftop from afar.

A piece of exposed metal rebar hooked her collar.

It was probably just that he hit his head and fainted.

The wind blew and her body swayed.

Time is running out!

The teachers ran and shouted to the student dormitories to get quilts, the more the better!

My buddies and I pushed through the crowd in front of us and rushed upstairs madly.

43

Suddenly remembered.

Her father passed away on such an ordinary afternoon.

Under the blue sky.

I broke open the door to the rooftop.

I rushed to the edge of the rooftop, looked down, and saw her.

Her collar was sliding down little by little.

Damn it! I cursed. From below, she was very close to the rooftop. When I got here, I realized that she was at least a body’s length away from me.

I hung half of my body outside and tried to reach out, but I couldn’t reach it.

Hold me! I yelled.

The buddy squatted down and grabbed my legs.

I shouted: Let it go, keep letting it go.

The buddy took a few steps forward and suddenly felt pain. The previous injury on his leg made his whole body tremble.

My buddy lost his balance and I fell down a lot, and we almost fell down together.

Fortunately, the people who rushed up behind us were a few strong teachers and staff.

They grabbed their buddies, and a few of them grabbed me.

I stretched out my hand as hard as I could, but it was still just a little short.

Keep playing!

You can’t let him go any more! Something bad will happen to you! the teacher shouted.

Keep playing! I yelled at the top of my lungs, “Leave me alone!”

Obviously, it’s just a little bit off.

44

I know this is out of character.

She looked really pretty with her eyes closed. Her eyelashes reflected golden light under the blue sky.

Maybe it was our shouting that woke her up, or maybe it was me who was shouting her name frantically.

I saw her eyelashes tremble, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

She remained silent, raised her hand with difficulty, and pressed down her hooked collar.

What is she going to do?

Should I hold on to the steel bars or let go of my collar?

I have no idea.

What should I say to her at this time?

Can you give me a chance? I looked into her eyes and said.

[What, opportunity…]

I said: I know it’s tiring for you to live like this, I know. But I can be your legs, I can be your hands, just like your mother did in the past, to take care of you.

[No, sympathy…]

I interrupted her: It has nothing to do with sympathy, I just want to do this.

I said: I am happy with it, I am happy with it!

[And then… like my father, he will leave one day. Or, like my mother, he will be dragged down to death by me… Fairy tales will eventually become false…]

I know, of course I know.

She made this decision because she saw all the possibilities but could not see any hope.

I said: But telepathy is real.

She was stunned.

I said loudly: Among so many people, I am the only one who heard you.

I stretched out my hands with all my strength and shouted at the top of my lungs: Because I am the one who is here to return the fairy tale to you!

This time, she was silent for a very long time.

I saw her slowly raise her arm and grab my hand.

45

I carried her on my back and walked out of the teaching building.

The ambulance was already parked outside the school and I put her down on a stretcher.

I watched her being taken care of by medical staff and put into the car.

My buddy and I sat down against the wall. With trembling hands, we each lit a cigarette and took a big puff.

My buddy laughed miserably: This is more exciting than smoking.

I also smiled bitterly: Yes…it’s really hard to smoke.

In the distance, the broken wheelchair reflected the sunlight.

After that day, we never smoked again.

……

46

A few days later, my buddies, she and I gathered on the playground.

Her unsuccessful suicide.

It did cause quite a bit of trouble.

The school strengthened safety education and she was criticized.

As for my buddy and I… we were praised by the radio for saving people, and criticized by the radio for smoking in public. We can be said to have shared the honor and disgrace.

It is worth mentioning that the slave era is finally over.

In a way, I am now her guardian, a self-appointed one.

47

But none of this matters anymore, I still have one thing I need to do.

On the playground, she reminded us: Go slower, slower, and slower.

She stood between me and my buddy.

We held him up, with his feet tied together at our ankles.

Okay, I have to admit, I copied this from the school sports meet, the three people with the same foot and all that.

I just wanted to let her stand up, at least once, and let her run at least once in her life.

I told my buddies to keep up the pace.

Without a starting gun, we started running.

I hope she can close her eyes and I hope she can forget about the two stinky boys around her.

It was as if she was the only one breathing on this track.

It was as if only her footsteps were stepping firmly on this solid ground.

She closed her eyes in the sunlight.

There were tears.

[Hurry up]

I responded, keeping pace with my buddy and speeding up.

Her hair was already wet with sweat.

I saw her raise her head and scream loudly, a scream I had never heard before.

48

Crossing the non-existent finish line.

We lost our balance and fell to the ground together.

My buddy and I hurried to untie her ropes and asked her anxiously: Are you okay?

Suddenly, my buddy and I were hugged by her.

The hug was very strong.

This time, she expressed her inner thoughts without any concealment.

I want to live

【I want to survive】

【I want to survive】

She hugged me and cried bitterly.

I heard it.
