"You’re still so young, why do you want to die, isn’t it a pity to waste your best years?" Xiao Yifeng spoke up.
"But I no longer have any best years, my best years were destroyed by that person, I’m now like a plague, everyone is afraid to come near me, my life is already shrouded in darkness, only death can liberate me."
Wang Miaomiao spoke softly, her tone somber, eliciting a feeling of pity.
"As long as a person keeps living, there is hope, but once dead, there is no hope left. Can you tell me about your troubles?" Xiao Yifeng’s gaze fell on Wang Miaomiao.
"Aren’t you afraid of me?" Wang Miaomiao lifted her eyes and glanced at Xiao Yifeng.
Her eyes were glistening with tears, filled with confusion, sorrow, and despair towards life.
"Of course not afraid, if I were, I wouldn’t have helped you yesterday," Xiao Yifeng’s mouth curved into a smile.
"You were the one who saved me yesterday." Wang Miaomiao said in surprise. She had never really looked at Xiao Yifeng in the face yesterday and, although the voice seemed familiar, she didn’t realize the person who saved her was Xiao Yifeng.
"That’s right, can you now tell me about your troubles?" Xiao Yifeng nodded.
Wang Miaomiao’s eyes showed a hint of reminiscence, "I used to have a happy family, a dad and mom who loved me, and a circle of good friends. I felt very happy and lived joyfully, but unluckily, I encountered that devil."
"Exactly, him, that devil, he took everything from me and plunged my life into despair."
Speaking of Sunx Yu, Wang Miaomiao’s eyes revealed intense hatred, her expression filled with immense pain.
"He took a liking to me by chance, always wanting me to be his woman. I never agreed, and I didn’t expect that he would get so angry from the shame, that he sent people to burn down my home."
"My parents died tragically, and I almost perished in the fire. Afterwards, I narrowly survived, but my face was completely disfigured, leaving me in the state I am now, and eventually, even the good friends I had left me one after another."
"Walking inside the school, not a single person dared to come near me, dare to speak a word with me. I couldn’t find a single friend to talk to anymore."
"I also had to endure the beatings and insults from Huang Cancan every day. At that time, my life was filled with despair, it was only because I wanted to avenge my parents that I kept on living."
Wang Miaomiao said, "But I never had any chance to take revenge, I didn’t even have the opportunity to get close to Sunx Yu, and had to suffer the ridicule of all the other students and Huang Cancan’s verbal abuse, over and over again."
"So you wanted to end it all," Xiao Yifeng said gravely.
"That’s right, I don’t know what else I can possibly do, being alive is just superfluous."
Xiao Yifeng looked at Wang Miaomiao, patted her shoulder, and said, "I said yesterday, I can help you get rid of the scars on your body and restore your former appearance."
"That’s impossible, sixty percent of my body is scarred, and the burns are severe, there is no medicine that can remove these scars." Wang Miaomiao shook her head.
"That may be true for others, but for me, it’s not a difficult task. If you believe me, I can help you restore your previous look and let your life bloom with youth once again," Xiao Yifeng said with a confident expression.
Wang Miaomiao looked at Xiao Yifeng with disbelief, clearly somewhat skeptical.
"If I, Xiao Yifeng, say I’ll do something, I’ll definitely do it. Tomorrow, I’ll let you try first, and then you’ll know if what I’m saying is true or false. But don’t even think about committing suicide anymore. It’s better to live poorly than to die well; if you die, you’ll only cause your parents, who have passed away, to be sad,"
After saying this, Xiao Yifeng left, and Wang Miaomiao gazed at his departing figure somewhat absentmindedly.
Upon reaching the parking lot and just about to leave Tianhai University, Dong Li’s voice came through.
"Brother Xiao, good thing you’re here," Dong Li came over, a smile on his face.
"What’s up?" Xiao Yifeng asked, curious.
"I’m going to have dinner with Wen Ya soon. Since you’re here, come join us," Dong Li said.
"You’re having dinner with your girlfriend, and you want me to go? To be a third-wheel?"
Dong Li smiled and said, "I told you before, if it weren’t for you, I probably wouldn’t be with Wen Ya. You are practically our matchmaker, so of course, I need to treat you to a meal. Don’t tell me you don’t want to."
"Well then, since I haven’t eaten yet, and since someone is inviting, I won’t be polite," Xiao Yifeng said indifferently.
"Don’t worry, this time I’ve booked a private room at a hotel, I guarantee you’ll have more than enough to eat."
Xiao Yifeng was taken aback: "Seems like you really went all out trying to impress your girl."
Xiao Yifeng followed Dong Li to the small restaurant where they had eaten before; Dong Li’s girlfriend was still working there. Seeing Dong Li appear, Wen Ya’s lips curved into a sweet smile, and she walked over immediately.
"Wen Ya, let me introduce you—this is my friend, Xiao Yifeng. You’ve met him before," Dong Li said straightaway.
"Hello, Mr. Xiao," Wen Ya greeted Xiao Yifeng with a slight smile.
"Congratulations to both of you," Xiao Yifeng said with a beaming smile.
Wen Ya looked somewhat shy but exceedingly lovely. In her simple attire and not overly beautiful face, she projected an aura of refinement and pure charm.
"Alright, I’ve already booked the private room. Let’s go," Dong Li spoke up.
"We can take my car," offered Xiao Yifeng, to which Dong Li nodded after a moment.
Following Dong Li’s directions, Xiao Yifeng took them both to a high-class hotel.
Seeing the luxurious hotel before her, Wen Ya seemed a bit nervous.
"Dong Li, won’t the stuff here be too expensive? Maybe we should go somewhere cheaper," Wen Ya suggested to Dong Li.
"Dong Li, your girlfriend really knows how to live frugally," Xiao Yifeng couldn’t help but laugh a little.
With a smile on his face, Dong Li looked at Wen Ya and said, "Wen Ya, don’t worry. I can afford this meal, and besides, it’s already booked — we can’t cancel now."
"Let’s go in and eat, I’m already hungry," Xiao Yifeng patted his stomach and said. Wen Ya no longer objected, and the three of them entered the hotel and were shown to a private room by the waiter.
At the same time, Lan Haoxuan, Bai Xin’er, and Mei Yanyan also entered the hotel.
