āSchool bag? Since you woke up in the middle of the night and put this stuff in your schoolbag, you donāt want me to see it. I donāt know what youāre hiding from me. Iāll ask you again tomorrow!ā He Jinās mother was furious. She stood up and screamed, āgo to sleep! Hurry!ā Afterward, she took He Jinās helmet and went outā¦
He Jin was stupefied entirely by his mother. He fell into an inexplicable panic. He was so scared, yet he couldnāt chase his mother now and ask for his helmet back. It would only make his mother ask even more seriously what the hell it was for, and urge him to say why he had to have this helmet. They might as well get into a serious argument. At this hour, itās very likely that theyād wake everyone up.
So, all He Jin could do was to endure his anger and fear. He was sitting on his bed, stunned, helpless, he wanted to yell and shout, and he wanted to hit someone.
Then, his bracelet vibrated, and He Jin seemed to have found his savior, he lifted his wrist, and it was Fireās message, āwhatās up?ā
He Jin almost cried, and he hurriedly replied, āmy mother found out about the helmet, and she took it away. What should I do?ā
In the face of He Jinās help, Qin Yu didnāt reply, āhow come your mother still manages you like a kid?ā Since it would be a stupid question. For He Jin, that person is not his mother, but his biggest enemy, also their BOSS.
Fire, āaside from taking away the helmet, what did she do?ā
Fire, ādid she hit you or scold you?ā
At this moment, He Jin was like a frightened child, he was secretly confiding to his only trusted person, 'she scolded me, but she didnāt hit me.ā
Fire, āthen itās ok. Donāt overthink. Donāt be afraid.ā
Ah Jin, ābut she took the helmet away. What should I do if she doesnāt return it to me?ā
Itās still okay if she didnāt return it to him. What He Jin was worried is that ā if he showed too much that he cared about the helmet, his mother might make use of his weakness to destroy it, just to make him stop thinking about it. Itād be just like eight years ago! He Jin felt petrified by the fear and helplessness. He trembled, as if all the memory suddenly flushed in, and the fragments of the memories were all rushing toward himā¦
ā¦ā¦
āIāve had a hard time raising you and send you to school. Iāve been giving you the best. See what youāve been doing! Youāve been playing online games and not studying!ā His mother poked his forehead with her fingers and groaned.
Eight years ago, He Jin was shivering, āit will not affect my study. I promiseā¦I will only get online one hour every week, is that okā¦ā
His mother, instead of trying to understand He Jin, slapped him on the face, ālook at your last exam results! How dare you said that it doesnāt affect your study!ā
āOnly this time, it wonāt happen againā¦ā
āYou are still suggesting conditions to me! What qualifications do you have to talk to me about the conditions!ā The woman was so angry that she went to find the feather duster, and when she returned, she slammed it on him.
āMom, I wonāt play anymore.ā He was so afraid. He couldnāt help but plead to his mother, āplease just let me go online and tell my friends, that I am not getting online anymoreā¦ā
This woman didnāt even listen to him. She took the feather duster and madly hit him, and repeatedly said, āyou didnāt listen to meā¦what sort of online game is thatā¦youāre so young and you even dared to get married to someone in the gameā¦donāt you have self-esteem? Donāt you know what shame is? See if Iāll hit you to deathā¦ā
It turned out that her mother knew about everything, and He Jin didnāt even know how she found out.
He didnāt dare to say anything, and he didnāt dare to explain further. He could only guarantee again and again that heād never get online againā¦
He had suffered from pain since he was a child, yet he rarely cried. But that night, he was crying very hard. He felt so painful and thought that itād be better to die.
His mother forced him to swear, that he should not to lie, and he should not hide anything. Before he did anything, he had to let his parents know.
He Jin did not remember how long he had to be educated by his mother afterward. After that incident, he hadnāt talked to anyone for a long time. Whether heās awake or asleep, his motherās words were all over his head, that heās shameless, that he didnāt have self-respect. In turn, even though he did well at school, and his results were always outstanding, he felt inferior, and he didnāt have any confidence.
But his mother apologized to him, and promised not to beat him again. She explained that sheās too angry and had lost self-control. She even applied medicine on him while crying, and repeatedly said, āalthough I hit you, itās me who feels painful,ā and āall Iāve been doing is for your own good, you have to understand my intentionsā¦ā
He forgave his mother, but he knew clearly that something had changed.
He got more mature in one night. He had opened up his defense and got stronger. Although he maintained a perfect faƧade, his real personality had stayed at the age of fifteen, just like lost in years.
Recalling that experience, He Jin couldnāt help but tremble ā not only he started playing again, he even lied to his motherā¦
There were three messages from Fire on the bracelet.
Fire, āitās fine even if she doesnāt return you the helmet. Itās just a helmet after all. Iāll buy you a new one.ā
Fire, ādonāt argue with her for a helmet, and donāt let yourself suffer.ā
Fire, āare you there? Do you want me to make a voice call with you?ā

Before He Jin replied, Fire made the call, and HE Jin quickly removed the wireless Bluetooth earbuds on the bracelet and stuffed them into one of his ears. He wrapped himself inside his blanket.
