Jiang Yu passes through a narrow and dark alley every day on the way to and from school. The air in the alley is always filled with a strange mixture of clothing, garbage, and breakfast smells. Every time Jiang Yu passes through, they subconsciously frown, then cover their nose and quickly escape the alley.
When Jiang Yu arrives at school and is about to tidy up their desk, Wu Yuting unexpectedly appears with a group of followers in front of Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu saw them and involuntarily trembled, stepping back. Just as Jiang Yu felt afraid, the group of people had already arrived in front of Jiang Yu.
Wu Yuting looked Jiang Yu up and down, saying, "You made it hard for me to find you. I didn't expect you to be in this class. Last time, you relied on Brother Yu's power to make me lose face. This time, Brother Yu isn't here, let's see who can protect you." As she was about to make a move, a henchman next to her whispered, "Ting, this is in the classroom. I'm afraid someone will report us."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yuting pondered for a moment and said, "You're right, I'm not afraid of the teacher, but the aftermath will be troublesome. So, I'll leave you with a threat: 'Don't leave after school, remember to wait for me. I'll come and take good care of you. Got it?'"
Jiang Yu's body was trembling, and after a long while, he quietly replied, "I... I understand."
Because of Wu Yuting's warning, Jiang Yu spent the entire day on edge. Xiang Yu noticed that something was off with Jiang Yu and quietly asked, "What's wrong with you today? You seem strange. Did something happen?"
Jiang Yu didn't want to trouble Xiang Yu any further, so he simply shook his head to indicate that nothing was wrong.
At the end of school, a group of people gathered at the school gate waiting for Jiang Yu to finish school. Jiang Yu glanced at the gate and saw the group standing outside, so she hesitated to leave the classroom. As time passed, the sky gradually darkened. Jiang Yu looked at the dim sky and thought that if she went home too late, her mother would worry, so she reluctantly packed her bag and left the classroom. When she reached the school gate, Wu Yuting and the group were waiting outside. Jiang Yu nervously walked past them, but Wu Yuting quickly stepped forward to stop her, asking with ill intentions, "Where are you going? Didn't you see me?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu nervously replied, "I... I'm going home."
"Home? Who allowed you to go home? Did you not see me? Or did you forget what I told you?" Wu Yuting asked.
"Sis Ting, did I do something to upset you?" Jiang Yu nervously asked.
"You didn't provoke me? You still call this not provoking me, it seems like you really forget about the kindness of others! I almost got beaten by Young Master Xiang that day, how could you forget? You have to compensate me for this." Wu Yuting said angrily, and in a fit of anger, she grabbed Jiang Yu's hair.
"Compensate? What compensation?" Because Wu Yuting grabbed his hair, Jiang Yu could only kneel down and beg for mercy.
Wu Yuting thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to borrow some money from you. You won't refuse, will you?"
Jiang Yu involuntarily stepped back, his voice trembling, "Can I not give it to you?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Yuting sneered, "Can you not? You need to remember, I'm informing you, not seeking your opinion! Hurry up and hand it over!" With that, she snatched the money from Jiang Yu.
"Do you understand? Be smarter next time you see me." Wu Yuting dropped a harsh remark and then left with a flourish.
Jiang Yu watched Wu Yuting's figure gradually disappear at the end of the alley before standing up, dusting off the dirt from their clothes, and then daring to go home.
The quiet alley only became lively in the early morning and evening. Jiang Yu walked home alone, recalling today and the past events, causing their body to tremble inexplicably.
The evening glow was gradually swallowed by the night, and endless darkness gradually shrouded the sky. The streets at night always seemed so quiet, quietly making people feel afraid. The pitch-black night sky was cloudless for miles, with even the stars being scarce, forming a sharp contrast with the bustling lights of the streets. The lights on the street were bright, making it seem so lively. Jiang Yu stopped in front of her own door, took a deep breath, and tried hard to calm the surging emotions in her heart, to prevent her mother from noticing anything unusual.
Jiang Yu lifted her head to look at the sky above, which was pitch black, just like her heart at this moment, unable to see any hope. Jiang Yu sighed subconsciously. She closed her eyes wearily, and in her mind, memories of today and the past kept coming back. Tears fell from her eyes without any restraint. After a while, Jiang Yu wiped her tears and gradually calmed herself down, then took out her keys to open the door to her home.
As she entered, Jiang Yu looked around and didn't see her mother, so she called out loudly, "Mom! Where are you?" After a while, a voice came from the bedroom, "Xiaoyu, you're back? Just wait a moment, the food will be ready soon."
"Okay, Mom," Jiang Yu replied loudly.
"Xiaoyu, how have you been at school recently?" Mother Jiang asked with concern.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu was taken aback for a moment, pondered for a while, and said, "I'm fine at school, Mom."
"That's good, as long as you're doing well at school, and can get into a good university and find a good job in the future. After all, Mom doesn't ask for much from you," Mother Jiang said lovingly to Jiang Yu.
At night, Jiang Yu sat quietly on the bed, gazing at the pitch-black bedroom, yet feeling a sense of calm within her.
In the darkness, she thought of Xiang Yu. She couldn't understand why Xiang Yu had helped her time and again. Was it because she resembled someone from Xiang Yu's past? After pondering for a while without reaching any conclusion, she decided to abandon her thoughts and went to sleep.
Outside, the night was serene, with a bright full moon hanging high above the Nine Heavens, and scattered stars twinkling above. Everything seemed to embody the tranquility of time, as if nothing from the day had ever happened.
However, the illusion of Tranquility of Time is often just a comforting remedy for the unfortunate, and beneath the surface of Tranquility of Time lies only a massive conspiracy before it descends.
