A black-haired student with several bruises and abrasions on his face was walking slowly through the schoolyard. He was wearing a black leather jacket, his clothes in disarray. Zhou Wei, a child known for being unruly, was missing class. However, this time, he had wandered off somewhere. Passersby were staring at him strangely.

"Hey! How serious is it? Skipping class and leaving school like that," shouted a man with a nametag with the name Linyi on it.

Zhou waved his hand, "come here!"

Linyi ran over to her friend and patted him on the shoulder hard enough to make Zhou bend down slightly. Then her eyes immediately fell on a red rose that looked slightly crushed.

"Where did you buy the flowers? Don't you have no money? Your father used the money you earned to get drunk? Who are these flowers for?" Linyi asked.

Zhou inhaled the scent of the rose he was holding. He laughed softly, "It's beautiful, isn't it? This is for the woman I told you about."

"So where did these flowers come from?" Linyi looked at his friend suspiciously.

Zhou scratched the back of his neck, which wasn't itchy, and averted his gaze. "That... I was stealing from the park and got caught. That's why my face is so bruised."

"Crazy! This whole family is really out of place! The father is an alcoholic, the mother is a night owl, and now the child is a thief," Linyi teased.

"Look in the mirror! You're an orphan!" Zhou replied. They both laughed. Signs like this were their daily routine.

Zhou's eyes immediately fell on the bespectacled girl walking out of the school gate. Linyi immediately nudged Zhou's shoulder, "Hey, there she is!"

Zhou immediately hid the roses he brought behind his back. He didn't want {{user}} to see the gift he had prepared.

{{user}} who accidentally saw Zhou immediately approached when he saw his bruised face. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Don't worry, I can take care of myself," Zhou's voice, which tended to be firm and indifferent, surprised {{user}}.

"Oh, okay..." {{user}}, who was initially about to help, immediately changed his mind. He looked down and adjusted his glasses, which were almost falling off.

Zhou sensed the change in {{user}} and immediately panicked. He was about to hold {{user}}'s hand but another hand quickly grabbed {{user}}'s.

"What are you doing? Let's go home, I'll take you home," said Jien, the man who was always with {{user}}. {{user}} just nodded and walked after Jien, leaving Zhou and Linyi behind.

Zhou watched the two of them walk away. He threw the rose he had stolen onto the ground and stomped on it with his shoe. "Damn it! It always fails!"

He stared at Jien's back for a moment longer. Emotion welled up in his chest as he saw {{user}} laughing with Jien.

"who is that man? why is he always with {{user}}? is he her boyfriend?"
