A dull pain gripped Song Qingchun's heart, and she continued to read .
"1996, October 3rd, sunny . I just transferred into a new school . It has been three days since I left the sanatorium, but I still feel the world around me is a piece of darkness . The world around me is within arm's reach, but for some reason, it feels incredibly distant . "
"1996, October 5th, 3 am, starless . I once again woke up from the nightmare . The first thing I did after pulling off the cover was to rush into the bathroom . There is no hot water in the dormitory, so I shivered in the cold bath for one whole hour . The dormitory is quiet because all my roommates are asleep . I shivered under the covers throughout the night, but I was unable to sleep because I feel the dirt hasn't been washed off me . "
Dirty? Why would Su Zhinian see himself as dirty?
There were merely three entries on the first page, but it already gave Song Qingchun so many questions . She flipped over the page carefully .

"1996, October 6, light rain . The nightmare returned, and I found myself back in the mental hospital room . I'm no longer in there, but the old lady's touch all over my body remained . It felt incredibly real in the nightmare . I felt so disgusted that I proceeded to vomit in the bathroom for half an hour straight . That was followed by another one hour of cold showering .
"During class, I felt the whole classroom was dirty—even the classmates were immensely dirty . I started to have fever in the afternoon . Today is a Friday, so we were allowed home after school . I'm home alone because mother is at work . I didn't call mother to tell her about my fever . Instead, I found some medicine lying around the house, took that, and went to sleep . "
Song Qingchun read the phrase 'the old lady's touch all over my body' several times before she understood what it meant . The young Su Zhinian was molested? No wonder he has such an obsession with cleanliness; it's because of this .

The image of the young and innocent Su Zhinian being taken advantage of seemed to appear before her eyes . It was overlapping with the image of the boy struggling with his sickness alone in bed . Song Qingchun felt like someone had reached into her heart to pull on it tightly . It caused all the air to escape her body . She really didn't know that he had such a troubled childhood .
"1996, October 8th, sunny and windless . It's a boring weekend . I walked around town with an earphones in . The streets were crowded, but I felt like I was an outsider looking in .
"I met a little girl at the entrance of Ming Jing alley . A suspicious man wearing a cap offered her sweets, and she agreed to follow him just like that . The man was a human trafficker .

"Initially, I didn't want to get involved, but when the girl brushed past me, she helped me pick up my wallet . It was simply because I did not feel like owing her that I told her the man was a bad person . She looked at me with her eyes wide open . She didn't say a word in return . At the time, I thought she looked devastatingly dumb . I thought that she couldn't understand what I was saying . Just as I was about to regret being such a busybody, the girl suddenly told the man that she did not want to go with him because 'big brother' said he was a bad man . "
