"What's the matter?"Li Wei entered the field.

"Nothing.Let's go.We have no more work here."Gu Ren retorted ,turning back.

"Gu Ren,Wait!"Zhang exclaimed.However,Gu Ren paid no heed to his pleads.

"What could be a greater punishment for you than losing your own best friend?"Akio scoffed,squinting at Zhang who seemed he could cry any moment.

"Did you bring him here?"Zhang asked to Akio,proceeding towards him.

"Yes I did.I called him here.Got any problem?"Akio mocked.

"You shall pay for this!"Zhang yelled as he proceeded towards Akio,grabbing his shirt collar.

"Cough...Ieave me..cough."Akio choked.

Gu Ren saw Zhang's never seen before form.He was shocked as to how much a person could change when possessed by anger.He could see lions running wildly in his eyes.It was truly a spectacle to behold.

He rushed towards Zhang and tried to loosen his grip,which seemed to be fastened around Akio's neck.His face's color was changing.It was a transition of shades from pinks to reds to violets.However,Zhang was too violent for his own good,throwing Gu Ren on the soft grass field.

Li Wei noticed this and rushed towards him."Are you all right?"He asked as he caressed the minor wounds and bleeding scratches.His eyes were fixated upon Gu Ren,who kept on staring at Zhang Wei.

"Yes I am all right."He said,hovering his eyes to Li Wei,who genuinely seemed concerned."

"Do you want to know Wang Xiu's truth?"Zhang asked to Akio,tossing him down on the pavement. "Ouch."Akio groaned in pain.

"Wang Xiu was a transgender.She was left at the orphanage at the age of thirteen.Gu Ren's father,Liu Ren was a queer but had to hide the truth.However,when he saw Wang Xiu,he saw it as a good way to keep his secret.Therefore,he bought her and molested her day and night,without anyone knowing anything.However,one day his family came to know the truth and he had to officially adopt her."

Mark was shocked at Zhang's testimony.He did not want to believe but somehow,he simply could not rebutt back.It was out of question to even object it because he had no proof to object it.

Gu Ren,on the other hand was confused.He remembered seeing Wang Xiu at the orphanage and then seeing her at his house,when she became his sister.He did not remember when he had seen his father molest her.

"And you,GU REN,you exceeded all your limits.When you turned twelve,you started taking heavy drugs.How would you remember molesting her alongside your father?When you were sent to rehab in The US,it was during then that she got all your property because she was the only hope for the family."

"How could I? How could I do this?"Gu Ren started mumbling things.He was starting to get delusional.All things which Zhang said vanished,except the fact that he molested the only girl he loved.He somehow wanted her to come back to life,so that he could apologize to her one last time.However,he was very well aware of the truth.

Will Gu Ren ever be able to forgive himself?
