Back in the hospital, Li Huowang hadn't felt anything. But as he walked outside, an incredible joy suddenly bloomed within him, spreading from the depths of his heart.
I'm free! I'm not mentally ill anymore! I can go back to school and live a normal life again!
"Come on, get in the car and go home. Your dad drove his old beater of a taxi over, just to pick you up."
Sitting in the car, the first thing Li Huowang did was take Sun Xiaoqin's phone from her purse and log into his WeChat account.
Clutching the phone with its cracked screen, Li Huowang hesitated, his expression thoughtful. In the end, he tapped the familiar rabbit avatar. He would write three sentences, only to delete two, then start all over again.
He wrote intermittently for half an hour. Staring at the few hundred words on the screen, his thumb hovered over the send button for a long time. Then, gritting his teeth, he deleted everything.
