"So, your revenge is actually secondary; what you really want is an eye for an eye, to end the tragedy once and for all?" Tianmiao asked softly as she drove.
"I’m sorry, Sister Tianmiao, I lied to you. The revenge I talked about was a lie, because I know I can’t really get revenge. You lent me power, and just now I felt like I could easily kill her. But before you lent me power, I thought I could only find a way to risk everything with her..."
"Perish together?" Tianmiao suddenly let out a cold laugh, "Is she worth it?"
Xi Linghe was stunned.
"Of course, I knew you were lying to me." Tianmiao smiled, "The wish you made when you entered the store wasn’t real. What is your true wish? Tell me again."
"I want school bullying tragedies like this to never happen again. I want Wu Yihan to die. Only her death can end the tragedy entirely." Xi Linghe looked forward, hesitated for a moment, but still chose to tell the truth.
"You know, for humans, there’s something more painful than death." Tianmiao slowed down the car, slightly turned her head to look at Xi Linghe, "So, do you want to try changing your wish?"
"Change my wish?" Xi Linghe was stunned.
"Yes." Tianmiao smiled slightly, "This time, I’ll help you fulfill the wish. Next time... for someone else’s wish, you’ll fulfill it."
Xi Linghe was puzzled.
At this moment, Xi Linghe did not understand what Tianmiao meant.
Years later, she finally understood the meaning of Tianmiao’s words.
After returning home, Wu Yihan went to her father and told him that someone dared to lay hands on her at school.
Wu Yihan’s father looked at her in confusion, seeing no injuries on her, and she was still as glamorous as ever.
"Alright, Yihan, stop fussing. Daddy’s very tired from work. If you need money, I’ll have the assistant transfer it to you. If there’s trouble, tell the Housekeeper and solve it with a lawyer." Wu Yihan’s father waved his hand wearily. He knew his daughter was spoiled and willful, but he was too busy with work to bother with what seemed like trivial matters to him.
"Dad, I’m not joking, and I’m not lying. Really, someone laid hands on me today and even tried to kill me." Wu Yihan shouted angrily.
"What?" Wu Yihan’s father widened his eyes. This joke seemed to have gone too far, right?
"It’s true! Lu Renyi can testify. It’s two transfer students, one named Xi Linghe and the other named Tianmiao. I’ve had someone investigate, and there’s no one by those names in our circle. Where did they get the courage to touch me?" Wu Yihan stomped her foot in anger.
"Are you sure?" Wu Yihan’s father frowned. His daughter was sometimes willful, sometimes bullied classmates, but these were not serious matters and were easily resolved, either with some money or minor tricks. But this was the first time someone had dared to bully his daughter. If this was true, who dared do it?
"It’s true! Dad! Tell me, how should we deal with these two? Have them expelled, I want someone to break their limbs." Wu Yihan said with intense hatred.
"You’re a girl, why do you keep talking about breaking limbs? Can’t you be a bit gentler?" Wu Yihan’s father scolded, frowning.
"But they all wanted to break my legs." Wu Yihan recalled the scene after being hypnotized, feeling a lingering fear. That feeling was too real.
