Chapter 1 – High School Starts
The September sun was still hot. The people on the street were all in a hurry as the scorching sun shined down on them. They were drenched in sweat and didn’t want to stay outside for another second.
However, to Ji Feng, this season was even colder than winter!
“Let’s break up!”
“Hui Hui, what did you just say?” Ji Feng asked with a trembling voice.
“I will break up with you!” Hui Hui, the girl, said coldly, “Also, from now on, don’t call me Hui Hui. My name is Hu Xue Hui!”
“Why?” Ji Feng asked with a pale face, “Hui Hui Hui, why?”
Ji Feng felt a sharp pain in his heart and was on the verge of collapse.
Just two months ago, the two of them had once sworn an oath that they would never part. However, after the summer vacation, he unexpectedly heard the final words to break up with them. How could he be willing to part with them?
Ji Feng dumbfoundedly stared at the beautiful girl before him, his heart aching uncontrollably.
Hu Xuehui and Ji Feng were Mang Shi County Second Senior High School students, and they were classmates.
Ji Feng was a man of character and did not talk much. Although his family lived in the county, he did not have the same publicity as the students of other counties. However, his grades were slightly lower and he could only be considered below average in his class.
Hu Xuehui was a lively and beautiful girl who liked to talk to people. As well as being the vice class monitor of the class, she was well-liked by her male classmates. A few of the male classmates even fought for her.
But in the end, it was the taciturn Ji Feng who won the girl’s heart.
Because the two of them were at the same table, after a long time, they had a good impression of each other and secretly developed an underground relationship.
However, Ji Feng did not expect that he would hear Hu Xuehui’s request to break up just as high school was about to begin.
“Why? You still have the nerve to ask me why? ” Hu Xuehui’s voice was raised a lot as she heard this. The passing students could not help but turn around to take a few glances at her.
“Did I do something wrong?” Ji Feng’s face was pale as he asked with a pleading tone.
“Ji Feng, it’s impossible for us to continue on this path, because our future paths are different!” Hu Xuehui replied in a cold and arrogant manner, “Do you think that with your family’s background, you will be able to attend university? With your grade, will you be able to get into university? “I’m going to university. In the future, I will live in the city and be together with you. That will only ruin my future!”
“Family?” Ji Feng’s face instantly turned pale, but he still didn’t give up and asked, “Didn’t I tell you that my family is very poor? Why did you only ask to break up until now?”
“Why?” Hu Xuehui sneered, her tone full of ridicule, “Ji Feng, did you know? I went to visit my sister’s home in Jiang Prefecture during the summer vacation. Do you know how much her house is worth? “You just have to work hard for your whole life and can’t even afford to buy a toilet. Do you know how much my sister’s car is worth?”
Ji Feng shook his head with difficulty and said, “I will work hard to earn money!”
Ji Feng had heard Hu Xuehui talk about her sister. It was said that her sister worked in Jiang Prefecture, so why did she suddenly become rich?
“Hmph, work hard?” Hu Xuehui laughed sarcastically, “How long are you going to work hard for? Ten years, twenty years? Fifty years? “I don’t want to follow you until you are about to die of old age before you can buy a house in a big city and drive a car. Ji Feng, don’t pester me anymore, I must go to Jiang Prefecture to attend university. When that time comes, we will be people of the same world!”
Ji Feng stared at her dumbfoundedly. Initially, her charming face would always give off the most beautiful smile, but now, her beautiful face was filled with arrogance and her moving eyes were filled with coldness.
“Alright, let’s break up!” Ji Feng nodded. Hu Xue Hui had already shown his indifference. His efforts to redeem himself were futile.
In this situation, the self-abased Ji Feng chose to preserve the last bit of dignity for himself!
“Also, I’ve already changed seats with teacher. From now on, we will no longer be at the same table, and we won’t be related in any way!” Hu Xue Hui said indifferently and left arrogantly. She did not even bother to look at Ji Feng.
A girl who had been waiting for Hu Xue Hui saw that their conversation had ended. She walked over and accompanied her as she left.
“Xue Hui, your words just now were too harsh. Isn’t that a little too harsh?” From far away, the girl’s voice could be heard.
“Hmph, I’m being too polite!” Hu Xuehui was clearly angry, “He is a city man, and his family is so poor. He doesn’t even want to buy me a present. I was really blind before, how could I fall for him?”
“Xue Hui, keep your voice down. Don’t let Ji Feng hear it!” The girl seemed to feel that something was wrong and tried to dissuade him.
“What are you afraid of? “He’s just a poor bastard illegitimate child …” Hu Xue Hui said in disdain.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Upon hearing these words, Ji Feng, who was standing not too far away, felt as though he had been struck by lightning. He stood rooted to the spot, breathing heavily. His face was flushed red, and his eyes seemed as though they were about to spew fire.
An illegitimate child … An illegitimate child … Wild seed …
Ji Feng’s teeth were about to shatter as the veins on his forehead stood out. He felt like he was suffocating, and he clenched his fists tightly. He loosened them, then tightened them again, and loosened them again …
Only after Hu Xue Hui and the girl had left did Ji Feng manage to calm down. He gave a sad smile, “My illegitimate child … Wild seed … “Hehe …”
That’s right, Ji Feng was an illegitimate child. To put it harshly, he was a bastard!
Other than Hu Xue Hui, he had never told anyone else about this secret. Because Ji Feng was an illegitimate child, his mother was chased out of the house by his grandparents. If it weren’t for the help of a kind-hearted person, he and his mother would have long become beggars on the streets, or even starved to death.
The word illegitimate child had become the best joke the other children had made of him when he was a child, accompanying his entire childhood.
It was because he was an illegitimate child that Ji Feng felt inferior and introverted. Even a glance of ridicule from others could make him want to die of shame.
It wasn’t until they met Hu Xue Hui that Ji Feng’s personality became a bit more cheerful. Because of this, he told Hu Xuehui about his family and identity.
However, he had never thought that his poor family would become Hu Xuehui’s reason for breaking up, and his identity as an illegitimate child would become the object of ridicule and disdain!
“Forget it, forget it …”
Ji Feng shook his head and walked out of the school with a sad smile on his face, “My illegitimate child, I am just a mocking illegitimate child. Even the person I love dares to mock me…”
It was a hot September day and there were barely any pedestrians on the streets. Ji Feng felt even more lonely. Only the TV in the next shop played music and television, making the summer less lonely.
“The latest broadcast shows that scientists have observed a crab-shaped nebula in outer space a billion light years away from the solar system. It emits an astonishing gammray flare, the first seen so far in a cosmic nebula. According to the scientists’ speculations, the gammray flares are too far away to affect the lives of humans … ”
The announcer, who was broadcasting the news, did not know that just outside the atmosphere, a beam of gammray flares was shooting toward Earth.
Ji Feng wandered aimlessly on the streets, his soul at a loss. The malicious mockery of his beloved girl had broken his heart, making him feel as though he had lost his soul.
At this moment, the sunlight in the sky seemed to flash for a moment. A beam of light barely visible to the naked eye struck Ji Feng’s head, causing him to faint on the spot.
