"Is... this a love letter?" The pink envelope resembled the kind used for confessing one's feelings. When no one was looking, I picked it up. There was no name written on the envelope. I wondered what was inside.

"Yujie, are you alright?" Suddenly, Chunshu asked me just as I was about to open the envelope.

"Ah... I'm fine," I replied. Chunshu and Jiehua were waiting outside, but I was curious about the contents of the letter. It was too early for me to be involved in love affairs since I had just started junior high. Plus, it had only been one semester. Could there be a girl who secretly liked me? I had no idea, and I doubted that this so-called love letter might have been placed in the wrong shoe cabinet by mistake. Could that be it? Anyway, I decided to open it and see.

I quickly tore it open, and sure enough, there was a letter inside. I opened it and glanced around to make sure no one was watching me. Then I began to read the contents of the letter.

-Yujie,

It seemed like this letter was written for me... I couldn't contain my excitement.

-Don't forget our agreement. If you break it, you will die... even if you hide at the ends of the earth.

Signed: Lu Shiyu, your senior.

After reading the next part, I felt the urge to tear it up. Seriously, I thought it was a love letter from someone else. Who would have thought it was from that troublesome person? The way she chose to communicate with me was quite unique.

"Yujie... are you alright?"

"I'm... fine," I hurriedly replied. Chunshu was rushing me. I had to go outside and change my shoes. I put the love letter into my bag.

"Why are you so slow today..." Chunshu complained.

"Ah... I forgot to bring something, so I went back to the classroom," I explained.

"I see... Did you get it?"

"Ah... I got it."

"Then let's go..."

As Chunshu led the way towards the school gate, Jiehua followed beside him. But I remained frozen, not moving.

"Yujie, why aren't you coming?" Chunshu turned around and looked at me with a puzzled expression.

"Well... I'm sorry, but I might not be able to go home with you guys today. I have something to take care of," I said.

"But didn't you already get what you needed? What else is there?" Chunshu asked.

"Ah... it's just a small matter. Anyway, you and Jiehua can go ahead," I said.

Being threatened by Lu Shiyu, I had a feeling I couldn't go home on time.

"Then I'll help you finish whatever it is and we can go home together," Chunshu suggested. Why couldn't Chunshu just go home obediently in this situation?

"No, I... can handle it on my own," I politely declined.

"We're good friends, right? Friends should help each other when there's a problem. Isn't that right, Jiehua?" Chunshu asked Jiehua.

"Yes... yes... Yujie, we can help you," Jiehua nodded in agreement. But at this moment, I didn't need their help at all. Them leaving would be the greatest help they could give me.

"No, really, I don't need it," I insisted. "Thank you for your kind offer. Just go ahead."

I didn't plan to continue wasting time with them, so I ran off on my own.

Chunshu seemed to call after me from behind, but I couldn't care about it anymore. I headed in the opposite direction, towards the school gate, searching for the so-called judo club.

During the school orientation, students were allowed to visit different activity clubs and consider which one to join. I had no interest in any of them, so I chose to skip them and go home.

From start to finish, I believed that going home was the best option. These club activities were just boring tricks.

Finally, I arrived at the judo club after some time. It had its own dojo, just like the kendo and archery clubs.

I couldn't help but wonder why the school invested so much in these activities. It would be better to donate the money to charity. Of course, improving the learning environment was also necessary.

I pushed open the door with paper windows and stepped into the bright and spacious dojo.

"Hai! Hai! Pah! Crack... Squeak..."

The sounds of energetic shouts and feet scraping against the floor filled my ears.

"Excuse me... Are you here to join the club?" A short-haired girl in a judo uniform asked after walking a few steps.

"No... I'm here to find someone," I replied.

"Is that so? Who are you looking for?" she asked.

Many eyes were on me, making me feel uncomfortable.

"I'm looking for... Senior Lu Shiyu," I said.

"Oh, Sister Shiyu... " she replied.

"Yes... Is she here?" I asked.

"She is... Wait here, I'll go call her," she said, and I nodded.

The girl with short hair ran to another person, who was also in a judo uniform, and whispered something to her. Then, she looked at me.

I took a look at her appearance. Although she was wearing a judo uniform, she also had long, dark brown hair. I guessed that she dyed it. The school did not have strict regulations on hair color, as long as it wasn't too bright. In terms of attire, it had to be appropriate, and one should not be sloppy. After Lu Shiyu finished talking to the girl, she walked towards me with a smile that wasn't pleasing to the eye, as if she was enjoying my misery. I had an urge to punch her, but I resisted, considering that it wasn't right for a man to fight with a woman.

"So, you came after all, Junior Youjie," she said.

She made it sound like I willingly came here. In fact, I was threatened to come to this dull and monotonous judo club, where all they did was throw and get thrown.

"If I had a choice, I definitely wouldn't come," I replied.

"But you must come. I have the evidence of your harassment," Lu Shiyu said with a cunning smile.

As you can see, I was coerced, and even if I had a choice, I still had to come.

"What a despicable person," I cursed silently in my heart.

"Alright, let's start practicing," Lu Shiyu suddenly took a stance.

"What does this mean... we're starting right away?" I asked nervously.

"Didn't I make it clear before? All you have to do is let me throw you," she said.

"Even if you say so... to be thrown like this... ahh!" Before I could finish my sentence, I was lying on the cold floor.

"Hey, how could you attack me like that?" I quickly got up and accused her.

"As a punching bag, there's no need for so much useless talk," she replied.

I never agreed to be a punching bag from the beginning.

"Grab my shoulder..."

"What... what is it..."

"I told you to grab, so grab!"

Reluctantly, I put one hand on her shoulder...

"Ahh!" I was immediately tripped by her and fell to the ground. She was a trickster, and I fell for it.

With every fall, I felt like my skeleton was about to shatter. This person was exerting too much force. If this continued, I would be thrown to death.

"It seems I still can't deliver the perfect hit. You can still stand up," Lu Shiyu muttered to herself. I felt my life force dwindling.

"Yah! Hei! Sook yah!" She continuously threw me three times in a row. My body was being ravaged by the floor. Why did I have to endure such suffering? I was a citizen with dignity and personality. How could I let someone manipulate me freely?

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Shiyu asked when she saw that I wasn't cooperating.

"Enough! I've been thrown by you several times in a row," I protested.

"But I haven't mastered it yet," she said.

"Why should that concern me? Do you think I'm made of iron and can withstand being thrown by you time after time?" I protested.

"Didn't we agree on this? That you would be my punching bag," she said.

"That was your decision, not mine... it's not my voluntary choice to be with you..." I shouted a little loudly.

"Well then... I guess it's fine if I show everyone the photos of you harassing me... I wonder how your father would react to seeing them..." Lu Shiyu whispered quietly. Her expression was that of a despicable person.

"...Junior Youjie... Are you sure you want to break the agreement and go against me?" I lowered my head and could only utter words of resentment.

Unfortunately, I couldn't beat this cunning fox. Afterwards, she kept throwing me until she ran out of strength. Only then did I temporarily escape from this humiliating feeling. However, all the members of the judo club present witnessed me being thrown to the ground. It was as if a label of abnormality was engraved in their minds.
