"I'd obviously been with you for so long... yet I was still as useless as before..."
Ning Shuang raised her tear-streaked little face, her reddened eyes brimming with tears.
Just one sentence from Han Yu had terrified her to this extent. She was not strong at all.
Her usual delinquent-girl act had all been a facade. She had thought becoming friends with Wu Liang would make her a little stronger, but she had not changed in the slightest.

"I obviously worked so hard to learn from you. I obviously worked so hard to become a delinquent girl."
"To become as strong as you, I learned to smoke, I learned to drink, and I even learned to fight..."
She hugged her trembling body tightly and cried out as if venting. She had clearly tried so hard.
Why was she still as cowardly and weak as before in the end? Hadn't she changed at all?
She had been a crybaby before, and she was still a crybaby now.

"Can someone... help me...?"
She was like a stray cat with nowhere to go, curled up beside a trash can—utterly alone and somewhat pitiful.
