After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity-Chapter 561: Spin-off: Lone Shadow Walks Alone 2

Shen Yan dragged the filthy little brat out of the lake and onto the shore, pressing on his little body, slapping his frozen, purple face, and intermittently performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

After about half an hour, the little brat "wa" coughed up water.

A bit later, and the child might have frozen to death in the lake.

He had swallowed quite a bit of water.

Once he’d thrown up the water, Shen Yan wrapped him in her own coat, then realizing how wet she was herself, she decided she couldn’t go to the library today.

"Wait a moment."

The child stretched out his dirty hand, too weak to wash clean, and feebly grabbed onto Shen Yan’s clothes.

Shen Yan turned her head and saw a little "beggar" with matted hair stuck with some unwashable substance covering his face.

Those pitiful eyes looking up at her made Shen Yan’s heart soften, "I’m just going to buy two sets of clothes, it’s too cold, wearing these will make you sick."

Shen Yan took the spending money she’d earned from her bag and started to leave.

Leaving her backpack where it was, "the little beggar" let go of her, but his gaze still followed Shen Yan as she walked away.

After changing into clean clothes herself and seeing that the boy could stand up and walk again, Shen Yan tossed the clothes to the boy and, checking the time, she didn’t stay any longer.

But after this incident, she saw the child several times.

During that time, she rescued the child again, who was close to death after being bullied.

That day, after school, Shen Feng said he would come find her by walking, so she waited outside, left and right, but he didn’t show up. Frantic, she searched everywhere, asked at school, and they said he had left long ago.

Calling Shen Feng only to get no answer made her anxious.

The thought of her parents questioning her made Shen Yan involuntarily shudder.

When she finally found Shen Feng, she saw a filthy little figure holding him down and biting vigorously, as if it wanted to bite through Shen Feng’s neck.

Shen Yan, startled, quickly ran to pull the two apart.

The moment she separated them, the dirty child ran off like a shot.

Shen Yan had no time to care about the kid who ran off so fast, and instead stared at Shen Feng, demanding, "Why didn’t you answer my call, do you know how worried I was? Why would you do this?"

Shen Yan’s voice was raised.

Shen Feng, through gritted teeth, responded, "It wasn’t on purpose; what are you yelling at me for?"

Shen Yan’s lips tightened, and she clenched her fists, staring at Shen Feng, "Where is Shen Ning?"

"She, she went home first," Shen Feng said, somewhat guiltily.

"Where did she go?" Shen Yan’s volume rose another notch.

"She went to play with her classmates; she told me not to tell our parents," Shen Feng revealed the truth under Shen Yan’s stern gaze.

Shen Yan’s brow twitched, "Let’s go, take me to find her and bring her back."

"I don’t want to," Shen Feng shook off Shen Yan’s hand, "Xiao Ning and I are grown up, we don’t need you to manage us. Why do you have to control us? You’re only three or four years older than me, what right do you have to control me?"

Shen Yan’s forehead vein throbbed, "Why do you think I have to control you guys?"

Because whenever you get a scratch or are upset, the first thing our parents will do is question me and punish me!

Shen Yan forcefully pulled Shen Feng along, "If we can’t find her today, we are not going home, we have to keep searching until we find her."

"I’m not going."

"Shen Feng, if something happens to Shen Ning, what do you expect me to do, do you want me to die?" Shen Yan stared at him, asking coldly.

Shen Feng was frightened by her words, "It’s not that serious."

"It’s not serious for you, but if anything happens to her..." she wouldn’t have good days ahead.

She understood how formidable her parents were, and even if she hid some things, they would always find ways to unearth them.

Over time, Shen Yan also learned some tricks. freёwebnoѵel.com

Though she was never abused, the psychological impact her parents had on her was more painful than the sting of a whip on her skin.

Sometimes she thought that if they beat her as they did her brother and sister, treating her the same way, she might have been willing.

Shen Yan found that her mental issues were getting more severe because, in the past year or two, she had increasingly dark thoughts.

She was making an effort to control herself so as not to become the kind of despicable person everyone loathed.

She did not want to be engulfed by darkness.

At school, she found she couldn’t align her thoughts with those of her peers, finding them incredibly immature.

She didn’t know what to make of her own condition; was it precociousness?

Her thoughts were often indistinguishable from those of adults.

Take for instance her plan to escape from her home; she was now capable of earning her own money, plotting an intricate escape in her mind.

She was just not strong enough yet. With a little more time, she would be able to deceive the heavens and do as she wished.

But in her fourteenth year, her parents discovered her condition, and even had her genes and IQ tested.

They were delighted, and their attitude towards her improved significantly, no longer as cold as before. In this brief moment of better treatment, Shen Yan experienced a flash of confusion.

The goodwill lasted and became even more pronounced as she approached the age of fifteen!

Shen Yan was happy inside because she had gained the recognition and care of her family.

However, the kindness bestowed upon her by her parents alienated her brother and sister.

They would occasionally say infuriating things in her presence, accusing her of stealing their parents’ love and calling her selfish.

Shen Yan did not argue, as she didn’t want to waste words on her immature brother and sister. Even if she did, they wouldn’t understand and would only look for thorns in her words.

So why waste her breath?

Shen Yan didn’t ingratiate herself with others, harboring thoughts unlike her peers, looking on as her silly brother and sister increasingly chilled her heart.

Because of her family’s treatment, even though her parents had been kinder to her this year, she had not given up on leaving.

She now needed only a year, no, half a year, to find an opportunity to break away from this family, to a place where she could live in her own world.

Without her, the Shen Family wouldn’t be affected.

But she had not yet taken that step; the money she’d hidden away had not been dispersed when her parents informed her that they were taking her overseas for research.

With her intelligence, she could completely surpass them.

Shen Yan was tempted.

If she could have more abilities and platforms for development, she wouldn’t need to plan to hide; she could proudly tell her parents she wanted to leave.

Beyond that, another form of happiness took hold of her heart.

Because her parents were willing to invest their energy in her, this was a happy occurrence worth celebrating!

Even with her guard slightly up and high intelligence, facing her parents’ care and esteem, she would reveal her happiness!

After all, she was still a child.

But she didn’t know that this departure would eliminate any chance of implementing the plans she had made from the start.

Because this departure led her down a dead-end path.

Shen Yan’s sudden absence did not sadden her brother and sister; they even felt their parents were biased, allowing her to study abroad while leaving them uncared for at home.
