The Secret of This Lesson (Part Three)

This question left Lu Xin stunned on the spot.

For example, the feeling of being unable to understand anything at the orphanage; the first time he felt pain; the first time he felt guilt; the way he had desperately tried to learn from others out of fear; the way he had struggled through those bleak, confused years; and how, little by little, he had developed a clear perception...
