Translated by: DMlations/Zryuu Edited by: Amelea —

Today, Yu Hao truly ushered in a new life — it may be Shi Ni's new life, but it was also his. Chen Yekai pressed him down as he changed his hairstyle, and he saw the person in the mirror become much more spirited. He couldn't really hear what Chen Yekai was saying, he had been absent-minded the whole day. cFxOCW

Thoughts of his parting with General had filled up his mind.

"You will fall in love with the person you like……" m3 Pgi

"You will go to many places……"

"And you will do what you want to do, and live how you want to live……" NCcZbe

"Today, when the sun rises, it will also herald your new life……"

"Ai!" Zhou Sheng called Yu Hao back to reality. kOYJow

"How is it?" Zhou Sheng motioned for Yu Hao to look at his new hairstyle.

Zhou Sheng's hair had been shaved into a decent-looking buzz cut, you could no longer see his dyed hair. The young hairstylist even took the initiative to carve two cuts into his eyebrows, and the way it was shaped happened to align with the shallow scar above his eyebrow, making the scar unnoticeable. His appearance with the cut eyebrow actually seemed quite handsome. KwLxz1

"It's so d.a.m.n ugly!" The corners of Zhou Sheng's mouth twitched.

"Handsome!" Yu Hao and Chen Yekai both understood the proud Zhou Sheng very well, so they quickly racked their brains for compliments to shower upon him. 2bDKd0

Yu Hao suddenly really wanted to go out and play, or just do something to commemorate how he had overcome his predestined fate and announce his rebirth after his 18 years of life. He left his past behind, and now his future was filled with limitless possibilities. There was a path before him that was waiting for him to dash through. Even though it was b.u.mpy, and possibly crowded with thistles and thorns, he was still eager to traverse through it and start his journey.

But when night fell, he was shivering in the cold winds and didn't want to go out anymore. Instead, he just really wanted to hurry back to his dormitory as soon as possible. This winter day was really too cold. Chen Yekai had also made a request regarding what he discussed with Yu Hao yesterday night — to get him to free up some time to tutor Zhou Sheng and Fu Liqun on their English. GBItcb

"I hope that in the final examinations this year, no one in the two cla.s.ses I'm in charge of will fail." Chen Yekai checked the course's schedule. Zhou Sheng responded with indifference. After they sent Yu Hao back to his dormitory, Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yekai's receding figure and said helplessly, "It's not easy being a form teacher either."

Yu Hao smiled, "Did you hear that? From tomorrow onwards, I'll be giving the two of you make-up lessons." gjslyn

"Hey, why don't you consider my suggestion seriously? To move over to our place." Zhou Sheng said.

Lately, Fu Liqun rarely stayed in their dorm. It wasn't that Zhou Sheng felt bored and lonesome living by himself, but he was concerned that it would be inconvenient for Yu Hao to move around because of his injury. It would be better to get Yu Hao to move to their dormitory for the time being. RP0 OI

"It's okay." Yu Hao pushed the door inwards and answered, "I can take care of myself, don't worry."

Zhou Sheng didn't press the matter further, "Then, bye-bye." eQdfu2

Yu Hao returned to his dormitory. His roommates still acted as if he didn't exist — they just continued eating and chatting as if he hadn't entered. But they would surrept.i.tiously glance at him from time to time. Yu Hao propped himself up on the table as he shifted over bit by bit, then he took the bedsheet — that Zhou Sheng had dirtied when he had eaten on it — out to wash it.

Not one of them asked how his feet had gotten injured, but Yu Hao was indifferent. He washed his sheets and hung them out to dry, then read his books and listened to some songs as usual. xnuSJl

Before the lights went out, Shi Ni gave him a call. She had only briefly talked about her day when another person took over the call — it was Shi Ni's mother.

So you've finally shown up? Yu Hao thought. Glancing at his roommates, he put on his earphones and slowly hobbled to the corridor to continue the call. Shi Ni's mother seemed to have cried recently. She apologised to him in a soft and anxious voice, and also thanked him profusely. EG0dPS

Yu Hao only listened to her quietly and uttered an "un" in response from time to time. He actually wanted to interject, "If you knew that this was going to happen, then why are you only now regretting your past conduct? You are an accomplice to everything that had happened too. The harm you caused Nini is no less than that of Shi Liang." But the words were caught in his throat. Now that things have come this far, agitating her any further was meaningless.

"Forget it ba." Yu Hao endured it until the end, not voicing anything that would provoke her, "I just hope that you've overcome the cowardice of a parent's love, and that you wouldn't hurt Nini anymore." efkOr5

"You don't know….." Shi Ni's mother's voice was trembling, "I tried, he not only hit me, but he also threatened to kill Nini……"

"So?" Yu Hao said coldly, "So you gave in?" I0h6Ji

"What could I have done?" Shi Ni's mother started crying, "I even thought about dying. I am a weak woman at heart……perhaps all of you would stop scolding me after I die."

When he heard those words, Yu Hao was reminded of when he tried to use this kind of cowardly method to escape his life before. In the end, he didn't have the right to criticise Shi Ni's mother. Perhaps, in this world, the only person who had the right to pardon her or let her bear regrets was Shi Ni. tlKAb5

"Who's Shi Ni's guardian now?" Yu Hao asked.

The lights in the dormitory building all went out at the same time. Their college was constructed next to a mountain located far away from the city, so there was little light pollution in their area. After the lights went out, only the bright galaxy above remained in this wintry night . Yu Hao gazed up at the starry sky and recalled the clear, night sky in her dreamscape before the sun rose — it was as clear as her eyes were today. tlk6CK

"My older brother." Shi Ni's mother stopped sobbing and answered, "They will take good care of her."
