“Hey, Ji Li, are you okay? Why did you fall unconscious in the toilet?”

Ji Li was silent as he looked down at his situation. His clothes were wet, a bucket was tipped over sideways at his feet and the smooth floor was covered with water.

There was a dull pain from the back of his head. It was probably swollen from when he fell to the ground. “Is this the time to be mute? Are you okay?”

The other side asked in a perfunctory manner without any real concern. Ji Li raised his gaze and observed the person in front of him. Then a name quickly popped into his mind.

“…Lin Qiao?”
“It seems that your brain isn’t broken. It saves us the trouble of calling an ambulance for you.” Lin Qiao raised his eyebrow slightly and glanced sideways at his companions waiting outside the toilet.

The life of this country bumpkin was truly lowly and hard. The ridicule from outside was clearly heard. They all apparently understood the hint from Lin Qiao’s look.

Ji Li heard the sound and glanced at the several young faces outside. Without exception, they all had teasing expressions on their faces.

Lin Qiao didn’t care about his gaze and casually said, “You can still knock yourself out when going to the toilet? No wonder why they say that if a person is unlucky, even drinking water will cause them to get things stuck in their teeth.”

“Brother Qiao, why are you bothering to speak to him? Be careful of getting bad luck from this god of bad luck.” Someone responded maliciously, causing a burst of laughter.

They were all film and television trainees of Dream Media and so was Ji Li. The latter came from the countryside and was signed to the company due to his good appearance.

It was a pity that Ji Li’s appearance and his personality were two completely different extremes. He was wooden and dull and usually didn’t make a sound when bullied.

Over time, the trainees didn’t take him seriously. It was said that it was easy to bully the soft-tempered. Their training life was boring and long so everyone relied on ‘playing tricks on Ji Li’ for fun.

10 minutes ago, they played again and placed a bucket of sewage above the door. The trick might be a bit old-fashioned but Ji Li was stupid.

The heavy bucket fell on his head and he fell into a pool of water on the spot, passing out and not responding for a long time.

As the leader of the trainees, Lin Qiao was afraid of a big mess that wasn’t easy to clean up. Thus, he pretended to call out a few words of concern.

It was said that poor people’s lives were hard. This guy woke up and he didn’t do anything. He just stood there stupidly like a wooden stake. His long bangs were wet and dirty, clinging to Ji Li’s eyes. His exposed face was haggard and pale and the freshness of the past couldn’t be seen.

Three months of teasing and bullying had caused this young man to completely close his heart. He was just a dull mute. Was such a person worthy of being in the entertainment industry?

Lin Qiao couldn’t help curling up his lips, very satisfied with the ghostly appearance of the other person now. He took a step closer, raised his hand and patted Ji Li on the shoulder.

“Ji Li, would you like to go back and change your clothes? In any case, you are a trainee of the film and television department. It isn’t good to be so sloppy…” Unexpectedly, the cowardly Ji Li grabbed his arm. Lin Qiao felt the strength from this person’s hand and was startled.

“…You should refrain from doing this.” Ji Li glanced over blandly, his heart as clear as a mirror. “Every day, you instruct others to play this type of bullying trick. A three year old child is more mature than you.” As he spoke, his gaze swept over Lin Qiao’s face. His words and deeds were light and had no ups and downs, but the latter inexplicably felt a type of ridicule.
