When Gong Qianchi told this story, his face was expressionless, as if this was indeed nothing more than a story.
But Ruanruan knew it wasn't true; he wouldn't bother telling her a trivial story for no reason here.
Because of the orphanage director's introduction, even the young boy, young as he was, felt the chilling malice coming from the seemingly kind director.
The boy became scared and was placed in a classroom seat at the orphanage, his face pale with fear.
Indeed, his life thereafter became one where he was constantly bullied by the other children in the orphanage, those orphans who, with their naive and childish tones, said things that were bone-chillingly cold.
The caregivers and teachers at the orphanage, even if they did see what was happening, would just turn a blind eye, simply scolding the bullies briefly, and then leaving as if nothing had happened.
Then, those children continued to laugh and throw stones at the boy, spit on him, and call him a thief, a beggar.
