Delta: Taming wheat in a dream, I, Said

Mai Xiaowen is a very independent person.

Ever since her parents passed away when she was young, she knew that she was different from others.

Other children, when bullied, can cry and make a fuss to find their parents.

But she couldn't. If she was bullied, she had to hold back her tears and bully back, because she knew she didn't have parents to protect her.

Other children who get full marks can go home and ask their parents for gifts, and then show them off to the other children in the classroom the next day.

But she couldn't; she could only put the perfect test papers into the small box, even though the small box was already filled with countless perfect test papers.

Other children can have their parents take them to the amusement park on the weekend and enjoy a great holiday.

But she can't do that. She helps her grandparents with chores on weekends, even if they offer to take her to the amusement park.

Although her grandparents treated her very well, there are some things that grandparents cannot do for her parents.

Other children would ostracize her because she didn't have parents, and even the teacher's emphasis on not isolating classmates was to no avail.

What are the advantages of not having parents?

Yes, there is one: when it comes to swearing, she is invincible; no one can out-swear at her.

Under these circumstances, Xiaomai Xiaowen gradually grew up and blossomed, becoming a beautiful flower in the school.

In junior high school,

A boy really liked her and gave her gifts every day. She didn't want to accept them, so the boy just stuffed them into her drawer.

So she threw those things into the trash can.

When the boy found out, he felt embarrassed, so he brought a group of friends to ambush her and demand that she accept his advances.

She refuses.

But the boy wouldn't give up, so he tried to grab her arm forcefully.

She got angry and left a long, bloody mark on the boy's face with a pencil.

The boy cried out in pain, while his friend cursed Mai Xiaowen as a crazy woman and ran away as if fleeing.

The only people present were a boy crying loudly and Mai Xiaowen holding a blood-stained pencil.

The matter escalated, and the parents from both sides were called in.

That scene in the office is still vivid in Mai Xiaowen's mind.

The boy's mother was a haggard-looking woman with a fierce appearance, and she was actually quite ruthless.

The old woman pointed at young Mai Xiaowen and yelled at her, calling her a shameless vixen who had seduced her son.

Young Mai Xiaowen was puzzled. She hadn't done anything wrong; the boy had inexplicably offered her a gift, which she hadn't accepted.

She explained, but the boy denied it, saying he had never given Mai Xiaowen a gift. He said he wanted to be friends with Mai Xiaowen, but Mai Xiaowen stabbed her with a pencil.

She was puzzled and didn't understand why the boy would lie.

Then, she saw the boy nestled in the arms of the haggard-looking woman, and she suddenly realized what was going on.

It turns out that the boy had his mother to rely on, so he lied because he knew his mother would protect him.

But Mai Xiaowen didn't have that; she only had her grandparents, who were over sixty years old.

However, her grandparents were not pushovers either. After revealing their identities as agents, the old woman got scared and slunk away with the boy.

That solved half the problem.

There's still half left.

The fact that she didn't have parents spread, and rumors about her being ill-mannered began circulating among students. Her past actions of hurting boys were also brought to light again.

Middle school students have a very strong sense of self-esteem.

As a result, young Mai Xiaowen was isolated again, for the ridiculous reason that she had no parents.

But Mai Xiaowen didn't care, because she was used to it, and because of her inaction, the rumors spread even more.

Finally, the whole school knew that the school beauty was an "uncultured" crazy woman.

When Grandma found out, her eyes reddened as she hugged Mai Xiaowen and cried, "My poor Xiaowen, how can young people these days be like this?"

Grandpa remained silent, smoking alone in the yard all afternoon. That evening, he made a phone call.

The next day, when Mai Xiaowen wanted to go to school, her grandfather gently said, "Xiaomai, let's not go to school. Let's go to study somewhere else."

Later, Mai Xiaowen never went back to that school filled with her rumors.

She transferred schools and went to Sleeping Moon City.

He finished high school and university in Sleeping Moon City.

The next time Mai Xiaowen's classmates in Yuncheng heard her name was on a big screen.

She has become a national goddess, the renowned "Claw of Horror".

However, that incident involving a boy had a significant impact on Mai Xiaowen.

After arriving in Sleeping Moon City, she deliberately isolated herself from everyone else, always displaying a cold expression towards them.

If Zoya hadn't relentlessly pursued her, she might have truly become a solitary, beautiful ice flower.

"Big brother, I was wrong, please forgive me!"

The blond-haired man knelt on the ground, filled with fear and unease.

Bai Kang calmly said, "If I let you go, I would be the one truly harming you. Being an agent is not a position for you to act arrogantly and domineeringly."

If we weren't as strong as you, would you let me go? Would you let Xiaomai go?

As he spoke, Bai Kang stepped on Huang Mao's arm and exerted slight force.

"Ah! Ah! It hurts! Big brother! It hurts! I was wrong, I was really wrong!"

"I'll cripple one of your hands," Bai Kang said softly.

"No! You can't do this! I'm an operator. How am I supposed to run dungeons without an arm?!" The blond-haired man was sweating profusely and terrified.

Looking at Bai Kang's back.

Mai Xiaowen was completely mesmerized.

She thought that if someone had stood up for her in the office back then, perhaps... everything would have been different.

She may have a brighter youth.

Bai Kang looked at the blond-haired man begging for mercy on the ground, feeling calm.

This kind of person needs to be taught a profound lesson.

Just as he was about to completely cripple Huang Mao's hand, a jade lotus root grabbed his arm.

He paused for a moment, looking at Mai Xiaowen with a puzzled expression.

Mai Xiaowen smiled slightly, "Although this blond guy is despicable, crippling an arm is too much."

She looked at the blond-haired man and said coldly, "Raise your head."

The blond-haired man shakily raised his head, his face covered in snot and tears. Bai Kang had really scared him.

If he loses one hand, his career in the MG industry will probably be completely ruined.

"Do you know you were wrong?"

"I know, I know. I shouldn't have bullied others just because I'm an operator. I shouldn't have acted superior just because I'm an operator."

Mai Xiaowen nodded. "You'll be paying for everyone here. Any objections?"

"No, no objection," Huang Mao quickly replied, relieved that he didn't have to waste his own efforts.

Shifting her gaze from the blond-haired man, Mai Xiaowen looked at the surrounding crowd and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, everyone, I've made a fool of yourself."

She then took Bai Kang's arm, her voice softer than ever before.

"Let's go eat at another restaurant."

Bai Kang remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

He paused for a moment as he passed by Huang Mao.

The blond-haired man was startled, thinking that this menacing figure was still not satisfied, and almost called him "Dad."

"You're very lucky," Bai Kang said calmly.

The two left the store.

……

For people who aren't family, your donations are too cruel!

I'm completely stunned when I see the number of chapters I need to add.

I dared not open my eyes, hoping it was just a hallucination.
