Chapter 1401: Chapter 1401: Life Completely Changed
The recovery abilities of teenagers are always astonishing, whether physically or psychologically.
Initially, parents and school leadership were worried that the students might develop psychological shadows. However, unexpectedly, due to being dosed with a forbidden substance, each of them had a cloudy and vague memory of that day.
Some even experienced hallucinations, imagining themselves as invincible warriors fighting monsters, which was laughable and tearful when spoken out loud.
After sobering up and realizing they had killed someone, it felt very surreal. Amidst the surreal feeling, they were also somewhat excited, which pleased the latent violent factors of the male psyche.
They began to think they were cool.
Thought they were exceedingly handsome.
Big Head found inspiration in it, writing and singing a song, gathering his friends back to karaoke where they yelled the tune, and everyone laughed till they were rolling on the floor.
Amidst the manic laughter, Clyde Summers sat alone in the corner of the sofa, silently drinking beer.
After Big Head finished singing his original song, he went on to sing songs by his idol, Dave Wong.
“…Love is ultimately an illusion, who says our past is unspoken, don’t forget I once had you, you once loved me… You’ve already forgotten me, you’re about to leave me, who can tell me if I’ve given too much, as if I never existed, still I forget you forget me…”
Clyde Summers put down the beer bottle and said, “Stop singing.”
His voice wasn’t loud, and Big Head was immersed in the music, completely not hearing him.
Clyde Summers said again, “Big Head, stop singing!”
The nearby boys heard it and looked at each other, someone patted Big Head on the shoulder, “Hey, they’re telling you to stop singing.”
Big Head was still singing to his heart’s content: “I have no certainty in my love, as if I never existed, still I forget you forget me… still I forget you forget me…”
Bam!
The beer bottle in Clyde Summers’ hand smashed hard on the ground.
He stood up and stepped forward, suddenly kicking Big Head to the ground, his fists raining down like a storm!
“I fucking told you to stop singing! Stop it!!!”
The microphone fell to the ground, letting out a sharp and harsh noise, to which Clyde Summers was oblivious, eyes bloodshot, grabbing Big Head by the collar and hysterically roaring, “Can’t you hear me?! I said stop singing! Stop singing!!…”
Everyone was scared by Clyde Summers’ appearance, standing foolishly by, not daring to step in until Big Head was beaten to a nosebleed, Yellow Hair snapped back to his senses and quickly called on friends to hold Clyde Summers back—
“Bro… Bro Summers, stop hitting, Big Head’s not singing anymore, none of us are singing anymore…”
…
That summer, they went their separate ways. The last memory before parting was of Clyde Summers squatting in the Private Room, his face full of tears, roaring, crying, sobbing, cursing the world.
Life became completely unrecognizable from then on.
Throughout the summer, he hoped Atra Blanc would remember bits and pieces. Old Master Summers also consulted with many doctors, yet amnesia involves brain nerves, involves psychology, and due to various complex reasons, effective treatment plans were truly scarce.
Just when the day of enrollment was approaching, at the nation’s top school, the dream destination of countless students, Clyde Summers lost his drive.
He even thought of directly applying for a leave of absence, to go after Atra Blanc recovered.
It was at this time that Old Master Summers said the words to him, words he remembered for life, and hated for life—
“…You are the child I value the most, the future of the Summers Family relies completely on you, every minute and second of youth is extremely precious, you should spend your time on studies, not on meaningless things. I know you like Atra Blanc, but Clyde, a man’s love shouldn’t be so shallow, you should grow and strive harder, so in the future, you have enough strength to provide her a shelter, that is what true affection means.”
