Drinking water was often a nightmare-like prank for Lisa, who was too young to distinguish between good and evil. For Lisa, who experienced a car accident and had his legs crippled, it was an even more unspeakable shame worse than death.

When he was young, his friends who went to school together with him would pretend to call him away pretending to be kind. Then they would secretly add something inside the water, sometimes it was mustard, a handful of dirt, a bug, or anything disgusting.

He was choked with mustard and he kept coughing over and over again until he almost choked.

Since then, he has never taken a water bottle to school again, nor has he ever drank a sip of water or eaten at school.

Later, his legs became disabled and he could no longer stand up, even then he refused to drink another sip of water at school. Because after drinking water, you would have to go to the bathroom. This was a daily occurrence for everyone, but it was the most embarrassing torment for Lisa.

So, that girl, why did she take the initiative to talk to him, and why did she take the initiative to fetch him water?

He didn’t have time to think too much about it. For a time, his mind roared and he could only think of the exaggerated and unscrupulous ridicule of his former classmates.

“Lisa, go to the toilet ah.”

“Lisa, does a disabled person use the toilet? Did you get help from someone? How can I help?”

“Lisa, don’t drink water ah, relax!”

The last sentence and the girl’s voice gradually overlapped in his mind.

“Lisa, do you want to drink water, I can help you get a glass along the way.”

Lisa never expected anything, but this girl who had said good afternoon to him the moment before, the words she said were the familiar words he heard many times before..

He was not disappointed, his isolated emotional system made it so he could not distinguish the high-level emotion that was disappointment. The overwhelming emotions he felt at this moment was the same as the humiliation and anger he once felt. To him, there was no difference.

She was no different from those who had humiliated him.

Actually, there was a difference, she approached him with a false pretense of kindness, and patiently continued her approach several times.

He will never expect any good morning or afternoon anymore.

He wants to stay away from this person.

Jennie found that since that day, Lisa’s attitude towards her had become increasingly cold.

Of course, Lisa had always been indifferent to her, but Jennie could still find the little differences in his expressionless face.

Once she said good morning to Lisa, although Lisa would not give her any response, he would stop the wheelchair and stare at her with his dark eyes listening to what she said, before finally lowering his head again and silently heading away from her.

But now, when Jennie took the initiative to greet him, Lisa wouldn’t even stop his wheelchair.

Lisa seemed to have isolated Jennie’s voice, and could not no longer hear her. The signs of rejection were so obvious that even the other students in the class could see it.

“Fuck Jennie is so funny too. She actually greeted Lisa on her own initiative, but she was totally ignored.”

“No one wants to talk to her, so she could only talk to that fool.” The crowd laughed and looked back. Looking at the last row of the classroom where Lisa sat, they saw him looking down at something.

The dense English text in front of him, even Irene, who had the best English score, might not have been able to fully understand it.

The book he was reading was the world famous book, “Wuthering Heights”.

He couldn’t remember why he picked up this book once more. Maybe it was because Jennie’s “maliciousness” hidden under her kindness made him suddenly think of the protagonist in this book, Heathcliff’s gentleness hidden under his hatred.

In fact, there is not much connection, but it is still inexplicably connected.

He looked down at the book and happened to see a sentence.

[Would you like to live with your soul in the grave? ]

Mother’s death, his legs disabled, he kept asking that question every day, did he still want to live.

[Only loneliness belongs to oneself]

He liked this sentence very much, he had nothing. Family, friendship, health, perception of emotions, and dignity. He has none at all. From beginning to end, only his loneliness belonged to him alone.

By November the heat had gradually dissipated, and the frost on the dry grassland during the morning sunrise is “an interesting contrast” with the cool autumn breeze in the sky.

But for students, it seems that there is no difference.

They were quite happy about it too, the heat had finally passed. This kind of lukewarm weather was the most comfortable.

The physical education class in the first year of high school was not taught by teachers. It belonged to the students to do whatever activity they wished. The class was in the afternoon, so after the last class of the morning, Mark and the others would start shouting at their friends to grab the balls before they are taken by others.

“The second class in the afternoon had physical education with us, wanna play ball?”

This was said to Suho. Suho naturally had no objection. He had always been a star at school. Not only was he a top student, he was also the focus on the court.

A few people went out, and several girls packed their things, including Jennie’s tablemate, and left the classroom together.

Jennie was still sitting in her seat, writing something with her brush in her hand.

“Just pretending,” a girl with short hair sneered.

“Don’t even, I hear that Jennie has been really working hard recently. I heard that I come here very early every morning and recite her books.”

“I heard she went outside to deliberately wait for Suho. I still don’t get why she is pretending so hard, with her brain, even if she really learns. It’s useless.”

“People have to be a little self-aware, why don’t you say she has nothing at all.”

“I mean there aren’t many chances for her. A person like her who is poor, ugly, and stupid. She can’t change her looks nor can she not be poor. She can only fix her grades.”

Several people laughed, and then changed the topic, “What kind of girls do you think Suho likes?”

“Obviously girls like Irene.”

“I seem to remember that Suho said before that he likes smart people. Irene has good grades. How can Suho dislike her? She looks so beautiful and has so much money at home.”

“I don’t think it is. It’s so obvious that Irene likes Suho, yet Suho hasn’t confessed to her yet, maybe he doesn’t like her…”

“Let’s go out now. Let’s watch the afternoon gym class, I hear Suho is playing basketball. It seems that the second class also has physical education with us. Hao Ying will be there, do you want to go buy water in the afternoon…”

The meaning of buying water was obvious, and the group of girls laughed together.

When the students in the classroom were almost gone, Jennie walked out of the classroom.

After reading her books for a while, the mid-term exam was getting closer and closer. She still didn’t have much confidence in physics. After all, she used to be a liberal arts student. She had forgotten much about physics early in her college days, and physics mainly depended on understanding not memorization.

Turning her neck and looking back, she saw that Lisa had already left.

Jennie leaned on the chair and let out a long sigh.

Several days had passed but Jennie still wanted to understand what she said wrong.

A total of three sentences were spoken that day, and Lisa didn’t respond to the first two sentences, but after she had asked him if he wanted to drink water, that was when Lisa reacted badly.

Why did the two words “drink water” affect Lisa so much?

In yesterday’s Informations Class, Jennie was finally able to use a computer and go on the Internet. She searched the internet for Asperger’s Syndrome and finally got a general understanding of the Syndrome.

While researching, Jennie raised a few eyebrows. It said that people with Asperger’s Syndrome, especially children, are vulnerable to bullying because they are incompatible with other children. According to statistics, 90% of people with Asperger’s Syndrome have been bullied by their peers during their childhood.

This can easily lead to them suffering from persecutory delusions.

Because of the persecution and bullying that they had suffered too much of, this kind of result was actually relatively normal.

Any words tied with bad intentions will stimulate Lisa’s nerves. Maybe Lisa was so sensitive to the word drink water, because someone had hurt him using it.

Jennie felt a little guilty.

he didn’t mean it, but it was still true that she hurt Lisa.

In addition, after her discovery Jennie observed Lisa for several days and discovered that Lisa never came to school with a water bottle, and he never left his seat, even to go to the bathroom.

Jennie later realized that it was not easy for Lisa to go to the bathroom. Not only was it not easy, he might also be ridiculed by his classmates.

Jennie felt even more guilty.

Walking on the campus road, Jennie said in her heart that she wanted to really get in touch with Lisa. If she wanted Lisa to not reject her, she had to be more cautious. When passing by the small campus supermarket, Jennie turned around and entered the supermarket. When she left she was holding a bag with some lollipops inside.

Walking in a hurry, she didn’t see a few classmates in the supermarket buying water.

As soon as the girls turned their heads, they saw Jennie buying sweets. They shared a glance, and immediately after seeing Jennie leave they began to talk.

“I knew she wouldn’t be able to stand it anymore!”

Jennie used to buy sweets every day to please the boys and girls in the class. She hadn’t bought it before, but she bought it again after being ignored for a few days. Wasn’t it obvious that she couldn’t stand it and wanted to please Suho and the others. What else could it be?

Several people became excited, and ran into the classroom after buying water. Suho was still chatting to his friends in the classroom. Sehun took the basketball that Suho had brought, and kept saying that the ball was good.

A few girls squeezed over, looked at Suho and then said to Sehun, “Guess what we just saw.”

“What?” Sehun has no interest. He was still focused on his basketball.

“We just went to the supermarket to buy things and met Jennie”, as expected, Sehun turned his head.

“Jennie was buying sweets.”

Sehun dribbled the basketball on the ground, and he couldn’t hide the smile on his face. “Fuck she finally couldn’t stand it anymore, right? I knew that she was that type of person.”

Then he turned to Suho, “Besides, there’s Suho here.”

Suho frowned and kicked the basketball, “Will you shut up.”

Several people laughed at that, especially Sehun, who laughed very loudly.
