After a moment of silence, Feng Yi’s deep voice sounded again: "From the time I can remember, that home has never given me joy; all I’ve had in my heart is the desire to leave, to leave far away... Above me, I have three half-brothers and one half-sister,
they never treated me like a brother, regularly ordering me around and bullying me at home. My parents saw this as merely children playing, even when I was injured from the bullying or crying loudly, they chose to ignore, as if they neither saw nor heard anything.
When I grew to sixteen, in my second year of high school, my stepbrother Feng Xiao hurt the younger brother of a girl due to a romantic dispute; the girl’s family reported to the police. Somehow, what was said later resulted in me being accused of the assault, and my own biological mother identified me as the culprit.
As for whether my father knew the truth of this incident, I am not sure. But I was taken away by the police from my home and then sent to a farm for six months of labor reform. No one from my family accompanied me, nor did they visit me during my reform."
With slightly moist eyes, Feng Yi continued: "I returned home after six months, having been injured in the leg at the farm, due to the lack of proper treatment, the injury lingered. Upon entering the house, my biological mother saw me dressed shabbily with a crippled leg and immediately cursed at me, demanding I get out.
I had long endured enough in that home, naturally, I wouldn’t stay to suffer more. So I left resolutely without taking anything, wearing only the clothes from the farm when I departed.
No one chased after me, even though my crippled leg slowed my pace. Until I exited the compound, not a single family member called me back, which shows how cold and dismissive they were of me."
Shu Han listened to Feng Yi’s words and felt deeply heartbroken.
"Feng Yi, you..."
"I chose to enlist and under my sister’s urging, squeezed out time to study high school textbooks, preparing for the college entrance examination that might arrive at any time. For the sake of Brother Mo and me attending college, my sister bought us review materials and gave each of us a copy of her summarized notes. Through effort and with her help, I got into the Command Academy, whereas Brother Mo was admitted to Shuimu University. My sister was the national top scorer.
Honestly, I owe much of what I have today to my sister’s assistance. Truth be told, I have great admiration for my sister; she completed two majors in a year and a half, graduating with full marks in all subjects. Studying abroad, she earned a dual doctorate degree in under three years."
Shu Han was shocked beyond words, her shock quickly replaced by admiration and excitement. She said: "Your sister is truly exceptional!"
"Yes, she indeed is very exceptional."
