My parents didn't care about anything.

　　After scolding me mercilessly, they went to find Yu Yue and her parents.

　　They demanded compensation of 50,000 yuan, thinking that the Yu family wouldn't care about the money.

　　But they didn't expect Yu Yue's parents to directly report it to the police, accusing my parents of extortion.

　　"I'm telling you, when the police come, you must say that it was that b*tch who hit you, and the harsher the better." My mother pinched and twisted me repeatedly, her voice sharp like it could pierce my eardrums.

　　"Can you hear me? You white-eyed beast?"

　　...

　　When the police and the Yu family arrived, my arms were already bruised.

　　Seeing my injuries and the situation at home, the police shook their heads and sighed.

　　They bypassed me and began to ask my mother and brother about the cause of the incident.

　　Among all those people, only Yu Yue quietly approached me, touched the purple area on my body, and gently whispered in my ear with a voice only we could hear, "Zhou Yingti, they bullied you again, didn't they?"

　　I forced out an ugly smile to her and shook my head.

　　But as soon as I turned my head, I met my mother's glaring eyes.

　　Those eyes carried obvious hatred and a warning.

　　It was as if I wasn't her daughter.

　　I was her enemy.

　　I avoided my mother's gaze.

　　Yuyue's eyes were covered with a thin mist at some point.

　　She held my hand tighter and tears fell onto my arm unconsciously.

　　They were hot.

　　The argument between her parents and mine grew louder in my ears.

　　The difference between Yuyue and me is...wherever she goes, she will have a safe haven behind her, while behind me is an endless abyss of darkness.

　　That bright purple bruise.

　　It bluntly declares the relationship between her and me.

　　At this moment, I only hope that Yuyue stays away from me, further away.

　　It was the first time I interrupted my mom while she was speaking.

　　I stood in front of Yuyue and said to the negotiating police, "It was my fault that caused the injury on Zhou Shi's face, not her."
