Stealing Your Heart

Shen Peichuan’s vision darkened, and he fell.

The man tossed the wooden plank aside. Fear was getting to him. He worried that his assault had killed the man. There are so many hooligans in this time and age, and he must be a villain because he showed up in the water for no reason. The man came up with that excuse to pacify himself. After that, he dragged Shen Peichuan to a secluded spot and abandoned him.

When the man was finally satisfied with the location he chose, he went home to pack up and leave.

He didn’t want to face any charges and was worried about being sentenced to prison, so he decided to flee while he still could.

That village was secluded and was located over a hundred kilometers away from B City. Besides, the villagers weren’t rich, and most able youngsters had ventured into the city to work. The only ones left in the village were the elders and the kids.

Meanwhile, Sang Yu lost her drive to succeed in life after her mother had passed away. She thought about returning to her village to lead a simple life after her mother’s funeral, but the villagers still discriminated against her after all those years. Hence, she left the place once more.

Sang Yu once volunteered in the secluded village, so she knew about the poor condition of the village. She also knew that no one was willing to be a teacher there because of the low pay. Therefore, after she left her village, she went to the village located over a hundred kilometers away from B City and took a job as a teacher there.

Back then, Sang Yu used to be poor, and she knew just how difficult it was for children from poor families to get their education. Even though she lost all hope after her mother’s death, hanging out with the children had renewed her faith in life.

The school had five classes and three teachers. One of the teachers was Sang Yu, another was a middle-aged man, who doubled as the principal, and the last one was a young local who was also a college student. The young local would only work temporarily during his school break, and he would leave after his break was over.
