Bab 26: Mining and Civilization

Lu Zhiyu felt memories returning to him. He had been very proud when he was young. Because of his good grades, good looks and a well-to-do family, his actions had been rather arrogant. He had been somewhat of a bully.

Ai Shu had been very pretty when she was young as well, but she was shy, introverted and did not interact much with others. Lu Zhiyu was very interested in her, but that wasn't a good thing when you were a kid. Children could have very strange ways of expressing fondness. It mostly started with him bullying her.

At first it was just Lu Zhiyu bullying her, but because of Ai Shu's shyness and her reclusive nature, the rest of the class began isolating and bullying her as well. Once, Lu Zhiyu accidentally broke one of Ai Shu's belongings and angered her. A fight broke out between them. Lu Zhiyu used his backpack to hit Ai Shu, forgetting that he had a flashlight in his bag that day. The flashlight struck Ai Shu's head and injured her.
