Looking at the files, Qin Mo saw the words on the page were written neatly and entirely in English. He knew the alphabet but had no idea what those words meant when combined. All those strings upon strings of particular long combinations he thus guessed were technical terms.

_{“Zhuoyun, you…” Jiang Shao had always pretended to be close to Shen Zhuoyun when in front of outsiders, but now that Wang Jun was in such a state, a chill crept down his spine. His first thought was to try saying a word in that guy’s defence, but once Shen Zhuoyun fixed his dark and hollow gaze on him, those frigid eyes seemed to say: Jiang Shao, you have a debt with me to replay, but you still haven’t paid it back yet, have you?.}“Qin Mo. Do you know how to use a computer?” Doctor Jiang asked while sitting at her desk.

His first thought was to try saying a word in that guy’s defence, but once Shen Zhuoyun fixed his dark and hollow gaze on him, those frigid eyes seemed to say: Jiang Shao, you have a debt with me to replay, but you still haven’t paid it back yet, have you?

_{“Bang—”}
Everyone in the room quivered at the thunderous slam.

“Bang—”

_{In response, Shen Zhuoyun crouched down, his eyes now fixed on Wang Jun’s. That usually cynical gaze within his peach blossom eyes had now sharpened into a dagger. The sight of it alone seemed to have scared the whimpering Wang Jun to tears.}“Zhuoyun, you…” Jiang Shao had always pretended to be close to Shen Zhuoyun when in front of outsiders, but now that Wang Jun was in such a state, a chill crept down his spine.

In response, Shen Zhuoyun crouched down, his eyes now fixed on Wang Jun’s. That usually cynical gaze within his peach blossom eyes had now sharpened into a dagger. The sight of it alone seemed to have scared the whimpering Wang Jun to tears.

_{It was only then that Qin Mo remembered that he had also troubled Qin Mo. He was unsuccessful in his attempt—but an attempt was still a crime after all.}“Just look at me. I found another way, didn’t I?”

It was only then that Qin Mo remembered that he had also troubled Qin Mo. He was unsuccessful in his attempt—but an attempt was still a crime after all. So, given Shen Zhuoyun’s disposition, that guy would be biding his time and waiting for a chance to settle the score with him. Plus, there would be no option to plead for mercy as well. If that really is the case, I’ll need to figure out a way to protect myself. Wang Jun and I seriously fυcked up by poking that damn tiger in the aѕs and making sure neither of us could get out of it unscathed.

A glare shot from Yang Fanghong to Shen Zhuoyun, but it was far from being a harsh one. “For the love of God! If this shіt happens again, the one getting locked up will be you. I’ll take this guy away, so do me a favour and behave your damn self, alright?”

_{Jiang Shao was left there to stare at that departing back, having no other choice but to admit his defeat. Like an obedient child, he tottered behind Shen Zhuoyun a while later. Once downstairs, he saw that guy was already sitting beside Qin Mo. That frigid look was gone, replaced with a smiling expression that seemed to shoot an aura of peach blossoms all around.}Crisp taps of approaching steps echoed throughout the room, coming to an end when a pair of black combat boots appeared before Wang Jun’s line of sight. The crumpled Wang Jun grasped onto the ankle in front of him, his voice breaking into gasps as he spoke. “Please, Shen-ge... I was wrong. Please believe me. It’ll… It’ll never happen again… I swear…”

Qin Mo’s head lowered after she spoke, the thoughts in his mind unknown.

I’ll take this guy away, so do me a favour and behave your damn self, alright?”}“From the window. He broke it off himself. He was probably trying to escape.” Not a twitch nor blink distorted his face as he told another slew of lies, leaving Yang Fanghong amused. "So this fυcker broke the bar in an escape attempt. Then, after stabbing himself in the hand ‘by accident,’ he struggled for dear life to get to the bathroom door so he could bawl and bawl to get me to come here. Really?”

_{This was exactly what Shen Zhuoyun did as he leaned into Qin Mo until their faces were practically stuck and chit-chatted away while they waited on the field.}Seeing Shen Zhuoyun willing to talk made Wang Jun erupt into even more wretched tears; his features contorted so much he couldn’t even see. “I was wrong, Shen-ge! I made a mistake! My hands—no, my brain is just full of shіt! I really fυcked up! Really! So can you please just let me off the hook, just this once?”

This was exactly what Shen Zhuoyun did as he leaned into Qin Mo until their faces were practically stuck and chit-chatted away while they waited on the field.

_{“Oh yeah, did you all come to the bathroom during your break to shіt gold? Pull up your damn trousers and get your asses downstairs for morning training—now!”}
Sporting a half-swollen face that was a pretty grim sight, and with arms clutching his stomach, Wang Jun lay on the ground, curled up like a cooked shrimp, jerking every so often when his body convulsed.

“Oh yeah, did you all come to the bathroom during your break to shіt gold? Pull up your damn trousers and get your asses downstairs for morning training—now!”

_{After giving that guy a kick, Qin Mo questioned him again. “Be serious. Did you do something to him?” Qin Mo realised in that instant Shen Zhuoyun was not a passive person. In fact, he might have been high on the food chain when it came to ruthlessness amongst the ones in that hellish place.}“What happened to Wang Jun just now?” Qin Mo asked. “I saw the instructor dragging him away.”

_{Doctor Jiang sighed again before reaching out to lift Qin Mo’s head. Her soft gaze met Qin Mo’s before she again spoke.}“C’mon, you heard him. To the sports grounds, go.” Standing at the door, Shen Zhuoyun kicked the broken piece of iron and urged his group to leave. One after the other, the boys filed out until it was Jiang Shao’s turn to leave. Seeing him, Shen Zhuoyun walked over and threw an arm over his shoulder, as if they were good buds. But a quick turn towards Jiang Shao was followed by a hаrd punch sent straight into his gut. “Don’t forget, alright? Fυck up one more time and you’ll end up like your buddy Wang Jun.”

Doctor Jiang sighed again before reaching out to lift Qin Mo’s head. Her soft gaze met Qin Mo’s before she again spoke. “Don’t go thinking strange thoughts for me, alright? I brought this on myself and made my own life difficult. To survive properly anywhere, you must remember to first figure out its rules. If there are rules you simply can’t accept, then you leave with no hesitation. If you find yourself in a place where there’s no way out, then just keep looking because there will always be another.

_{Wang Jun’s piercing shriek echoed not only in that room—but throughout the entire floor!}Seeing Shen Zhuoyun willing to talk made Wang Jun erupt into even more wretched tears; his features contorted so much he couldn’t even see. “I was wrong, Shen-ge! I made a mistake! My hands—no, my brain is just full of shіt! I really fυcked up! Really! So can you please just let me off the hook, just this once?”

Wang Jun’s piercing shriek echoed not only in that room—but throughout the entire floor!

_{“Thank you! T-thank you so much, Shen-{ge}....{Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!}”}Shen Zhuoyun swept his eyes around the room after cleaning his knife. Then, from the window, he wrenched out a loose iron bar used to secure the bathroom, kicking it across the floor towards the wailing Wang Jun.

“Thank you! T-thank you so much, Shen-ge....Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

_{Yes, Shen Zhuoyun has indeed returned. Yes, after being confined, not a thing had changed. He was still the morаlly bankrupt, ruthless bastard he had always been. He was still a terrifying being.}
Crisp taps of approaching steps echoed throughout the room, coming to an end when a pair of black combat boots appeared before Wang Jun’s line of sight. The crumpled Wang Jun grasped onto the ankle in front of him, his voice breaking into gasps as he spoke. “Please, Shen-ge... I was wrong. Please believe me. It’ll… It’ll never happen again… I swear…”

_{Everyone in the room quivered at the thunderous slam.}Jiang Shao almost vomited blood upon hearing such nonsense. A law-abiding citizen? Like fυcking hell you are! What the fυck was that in the bathroom just now, then? If Qin Mo actually believes that shіt, I'll screw off my head and hand it to Qin Mo to use as a damn ball!

_{“Did you think I wouldn’t be coming back here, you motherfυcker?” Shen Zhuoyun snorted, his tone enough to give a person the sense he held not a single care. “Do you have the balls to pull shіt now? Do you?”}
In response, Shen Zhuoyun crouched down, his eyes now fixed on Wang Jun’s. That usually cynical gaze within his peach blossom eyes had now sharpened into a dagger. The sight of it alone seemed to have scared the whimpering Wang Jun to tears.

Are you looking down on me? For your information, I actually did graduate from medical school with both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees. I was pretty outstanding in the small county I studied at, too.”

_{“What can I say?” Shen Zhuoyun grinned in response. “He’s an idiot. How am I supposed to explain the actions of people lacking a functioning brain?”}Not long after, Yang Fanghong arrived after being led by the sound of Wang Jun’s screams. He threw a glance at the bleeding and battered Wang Jun before fixing his gaze on Shen Zhuoyun. “So, what happened here?”

So in a fit of rage, I said a few harsh things I shouldn’t have. But I never thought that just because of those words, no other hospitals would accept me. I’m from a small county. My family isn’t wealthy. I couldn’t open a small clinic. I tried becoming a doctor in a regular school, but that was a bust as well. So, in the end, my only option was this place.”

_{“When would I get the time to?” Shen Zhuoyun smiled like a blooming peach blossom. “I’m a law-abiding citizen, you know.”}
Seeing Shen Zhuoyun willing to talk made Wang Jun erupt into even more wretched tears; his features contorted so much he couldn’t even see. “I was wrong, Shen-ge! I made a mistake! My hands—no, my brain is just full of shіt! I really fυcked up! Really! So can you please just let me off the hook, just this once?”

Qin Mo’s head lowered after she spoke, the thoughts in his mind unknown.

_{“Oh? Let you off the hook, hm?” Shen Zhuoyun seemed to seriously consider Wang Jun’s request before agreeing with a simple "okay" that appeared to settle the matter right then. As he spoke, he grabbed Wang Jun by the collar and stood back up.}
“Oh? Let you off the hook, hm?” Shen Zhuoyun seemed to seriously consider Wang Jun’s request before agreeing with a simple "okay" that appeared to settle the matter right then. As he spoke, he grabbed Wang Jun by the collar and stood back up. Once on his feet, he held Wang Jun against the wall while a smile spreаd across his face. Yet, despite his grin, his eyes were nothing but pitch-blackness—a vacant sort of darkness—which held no emotions at all.

_{“Yeah. I need some help. So can you help me type this out?” Doctor Jiang handed Qin Mo a stack of files while explaining with a smile: “I’m old and can’t keep up with all this tech stuff, so my typing speed is super slow.

_{Obviously, Qin Mo had enough functioning brain cells to not fall for something so ridiculous but was in no mood to talk nonsense with Shen Zhuoyun. “Are you kidding me? Who the hell would buy that? Whatever, I don’t care. Do whatever you want, then.”}
Shen Zhuoyun didn’t wait for him to finish howling before he retrieved his blade. After swiftly snatching it back, he strolled over to a basin and washed away the bloodstains from his blade. All while a screaming Wang Jun rolled around on the floor holding his bleeding hand.

She was a woman in her early thirties who looked quite youthful and did have decent enough facial features. It was just that she didn’t dress up much. Her hair was always tied back in a neat, simple style, and the only thing on her face was a pair of rimless glasses. But despite her usually reserved demeanour, she was quite gentle when dealing with Shen Zhuoyun and Qin Mo. Sometimes her childish side would even be revealed.

_{Pausing for a moment, Doctor Jiang awkwardly rubbed her nose. “Plus, back then, I was a bit spirited in my youth and had a bit of a temper.}“He got sick, so the instructor took him to get treated.” Shen Zhuoyun replied cheekily before slinging an arm over Qin Mo’s shoulder.

But after my internship was up, and before I was offered a full-time position, a doctor who used to work there returned from abroad, and I got pushed out of my slot.

Until now, talks of him being bribed by Shen Zhuoyun, though not without grounds, were still rumours. But now, it was clear there was something fishy between the two.

“Okay. But where exactly did this bar come from?” Yang Fanghong glanced at the iron bar lying on the floor without a stain.

_{Looking at the files, Qin Mo saw the words on the page were written neatly and entirely in English. He knew the alphabet but had no idea what those words meant when combined.

_{C13: Cruelty}Sporting a half-swollen face that was a pretty grim sight, and with arms clutching his stomach, Wang Jun lay on the ground, curled up like a cooked shrimp, jerking every so often when his body convulsed.

C13: Cruelty

_{Seeing Shen Zhuoyun willing to talk made Wang Jun erupt into even more wretched tears; his features contorted so much he couldn’t even see. “I was wrong, Shen-{ge}! I made a mistake! My hands—no, my brain is just full of shіt! I really fυcked up! Really! So can you please just let me off the hook, just this once?”}Doctor Jiang sighed again before reaching out to lift Qin Mo’s head. Her soft gaze met Qin Mo’s before she again spoke. “Don’t go thinking strange thoughts for me, alright? I brought this on myself and made my own life difficult. To survive properly anywhere, you must remember to first figure out its rules. If there are rules you simply can’t accept, then you leave with no hesitation. If you find yourself in a place where there’s no way out, then just keep looking because there will always be another.

“Yeah. I need some help. So can you help me type this out?” Doctor Jiang handed Qin Mo a stack of files while explaining with a smile: “I’m old and can’t keep up with all this tech stuff, so my typing speed is super slow. You young people are the ones with a knack for this sort of thing.”

_{“Just look at me. I found another way, didn’t I?”}Shen Zhuoyun’s eyes narrowed. With a snort, he made it clear he gave none of the blabbering leaving Jiang Shao’s lips a bit of credence, after which he left.

“Just look at me. I found another way, didn’t I?”

_{“C’mon, you heard him. To the sports grounds, go.}Everyone but Wang Jun, whose limp body slid down the tile-covered wall.

_{“What happened to Wang Jun just now?” Qin Mo asked. “I saw the instructor dragging him away.”}Regardless, Qin was shocked, enough to ask without thinking, “You’re a master’s student?”

“What happened to Wang Jun just now?” Qin Mo asked. “I saw the instructor dragging him away.”

_{Hesitating for a moment, Qin Mo replied, “I do. Is something wrong?”}
Looking at the files, Qin Mo saw the words on the page were written neatly and entirely in English. He knew the alphabet but had no idea what those words meant when combined. All those strings upon strings of particular long combinations he thus guessed were technical terms.

Hesitating for a moment, Qin Mo replied, “I do. Is something wrong?”

Yang Fanghong turned and left after barking his orders; it didn’t seem to matter whether Class 9 was in the bathroom or not; he seemed to already have a plan in mind. Until now, talks of him being bribed by Shen Zhuoyun, though not without grounds, were still rumours. But now, it was clear there was something fishy between the two.

_{The gentle smile on Doctor Jiang’s face was enough to melt a person’s heart.}Looking at the files, Qin Mo saw the words on the page were written neatly and entirely in English.

The gentle smile on Doctor Jiang’s face was enough to melt a person’s heart.

_{After giving that guy a kick, Qin Mo questioned him again. “Be serious. Did you do something to him?” Qin Mo realised in that instant Shen Zhuoyun was not a passive person. In fact, he might have been high on the food chain when it came to ruthlessness amongst the ones in that hellish place.}Wang Jun’s piercing shriek echoed not only in that room—but throughout the entire floor!

_{In response, Shen Zhuoyun crouched down, his eyes now fixed on Wang Jun’s. That usually cynical gaze within his peach blossom eyes had now sharpened into a dagger. The sight of it alone seemed to have scared the whimpering Wang Jun to tears.}
“It’s my thesis. I know it’s a bit late, but I still plan on taking the entrance exam for my PhD.” Doctor Jiang explained to Qin Mo, but her words did give an inexplicable sense of something more going on.

_{“I just thought you were a nurse or something…” {...because if not, what other reason could explain why you would end up in a place like this as its doctor?}}“Bang—”

“I just thought you were a nurse or something…” ...because if not, what other reason could explain why you would end up in a place like this as its doctor?

Regardless, Qin was shocked, enough to ask without thinking, “You’re a master’s student?”

_{It was only then that Qin Mo remembered that he had also troubled Qin Mo. He was unsuccessful in his attempt—but an attempt was still a crime after all.}
Doctor Jiang responded by flіcking the boy on the head. “What’s so shocking about that? Are you looking down on me? For your information, I actually did graduate from medical school with both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees. I was pretty outstanding in the small county I studied at, too.”

_{Crisp taps of approaching steps echoed throughout the room, coming to an end when a pair of black combat boots appeared before Wang Jun’s line of sight. The crumpled Wang Jun grasped onto the ankle in front of him, his voice breaking into gasps as he spoke. “Please, Shen-ge... I was wrong. Please believe me. It’ll… It’ll never happen again… I swear…”}
She was a woman in her early thirties who looked quite youthful and did have decent enough facial features. It was just that she didn’t dress up much. Her hair was always tied back in a neat, simple style, and the only thing on her face was a pair of rimless glasses. But despite her usually reserved demeanour, she was quite gentle when dealing with Shen Zhuoyun and Qin Mo. Sometimes her childish side would even be revealed.

_{“Just look at me. I found another way, didn’t I?”}Not long after, Yang Fanghong arrived after being led by the sound of Wang Jun’s screams. He threw a glance at the bleeding and battered Wang Jun before fixing his gaze on Shen Zhuoyun. “So, what happened here?”

“Just look at me. I found another way, didn’t I?”

“I just thought you were a nurse or something…” ...because if not, what other reason could explain why you would end up in a place like this as its doctor?

_{Obviously, Qin Mo had enough functioning brain cells to not fall for something so ridiculous but was in no mood to talk nonsense with Shen Zhuoyun. “Are you kidding me? Who the hell would buy that? Whatever, I don’t care. Do whatever you want, then.”}“From the window. He broke it off himself. He was probably trying to escape.” Not a twitch nor blink distorted his face as he told another slew of lies, leaving Yang Fanghong amused. "So this fυcker broke the bar in an escape attempt. Then, after stabbing himself in the hand ‘by accident,’ he struggled for dear life to get to the bathroom door so he could bawl and bawl to get me to come here. Really?”

_{“Qin Mo. Do you know how to use a computer?” Doctor Jiang asked while sitting at her desk.}
Doctor Jiang sighed upon hearing his reasoning. Removing her glasses, she started kneading her brows. “After I graduated, I did intern at an actual hospital. But after my internship was up, and before I was offered a full-time position, a doctor who used to work there returned from abroad, and I got pushed out of my slot. Naturally, I was also embarrassed to keep staying there and hoping for a spot.”

“Qin Mo. Do you know how to use a computer?” Doctor Jiang asked while sitting at her desk.

_{“When would I get the time to?” Shen Zhuoyun smiled like a blooming peach blossom. “I’m a law-abiding citizen, you know.”}◈◇◈

“When would I get the time to?” Shen Zhuoyun smiled like a blooming peach blossom. “I’m a law-abiding citizen, you know.”

_“Yeah.”“C’mon, you heard him. To the sports grounds, go.” Standing at the door, Shen Zhuoyun kicked the broken piece of iron and urged his group to leave. One after the other, the boys filed out until it was Jiang Shao’s turn to leave. Seeing him, Shen Zhuoyun walked over and threw an arm over his shoulder, as if they were good buds. But a quick turn towards Jiang Shao was followed by a hаrd punch sent straight into his gut. “Don’t forget, alright? Fυck up one more time and you’ll end up like your buddy Wang Jun.”

“Yeah.”

_{Doctor Jiang responded by flіcking the boy on the head. “What’s so shocking about that? Are you looking down on me? For your information, I actually did graduate from medical school with both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees. I was pretty outstanding in the small county I studied at, too.”}
Pausing for a moment, Doctor Jiang awkwardly rubbed her nose. “Plus, back then, I was a bit spirited in my youth and had a bit of a temper. So in a fit of rage, I said a few harsh things I shouldn’t have. But I never thought that just because of those words, no other hospitals would accept me. I’m from a small county. My family isn’t wealthy. I couldn’t open a small clinic. I tried becoming a doctor in a regular school, but that was a bust as well. So, in the end, my only option was this place.”

_{Pausing for a moment, Doctor Jiang awkwardly rubbed her nose. “Plus, back then, I was a bit spirited in my youth and had a bit of a temper.}Qin Mo’s head lowered after she spoke, the thoughts in his mind unknown.

_{“When would I get the time to?” Shen Zhuoyun smiled like a blooming peach blossom. “I’m a law-abiding citizen, you know.”}Jiang Shao ate the punch and only let out a grunt. Then, while doing his best to suppress the pain, he managed to grit out, “Fυck! I got beaten back then too… Ask Qin Mo. Ask him if he was the one at a disadvantage or me.”

“When would I get the time to?” Shen Zhuoyun smiled like a blooming peach blossom. “I’m a law-abiding citizen, you know.”

_{Jiang Shao almost vomited blood upon hearing such nonsense. A law-abiding citizen? Like fυcking hell you are! What the fυck was that in the bathroom just now, then? If Qin Mo actually believes that shіt, I'll screw off my head and hand it to Qin Mo to use as a damn ball!}

Her soft gaze met Qin Mo’s before she again spoke. “Don’t go thinking strange thoughts for me, alright? I brought this on myself and made my own life difficult. To survive properly anywhere, you must remember to first figure out its rules. If there are rules you simply can’t accept, then you leave with no hesitation. If you find yourself in a place where there’s no way out, then just keep looking because there will always be another.

His first thought was to try saying a word in that guy’s defence, but once Shen Zhuoyun fixed his dark and hollow gaze on him, those frigid eyes seemed to say: Jiang Shao, you have a debt with me to replay, but you still haven’t paid it back yet, have you?
