Chapter 22

Li Huanle turned his gaze back, moved his right foot, and looked at the ground still covered with snow residue. He noticed something he had stepped on and crushed into pieces. He crouched down slightly to take a closer look, and his pupils dilated. His mind immediately began to race, and he suddenly felt as if he had received a pillow just when he was feeling sleepy.

Li Huanle stood up, turned around, and glared fiercely at Xu Xian and Lin Yoon-a.

"Were you just calling me?" Li Huanle's angry and stern expression was very intimidating, and it immediately frightened Lin Yoon-a.

On the contrary, Xu Xian did not back down and met his gaze.

Lin Yoon-a tugged at Xu Xian's hand and whispered, "Xiao Xian, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. If I hadn't been joking, this wouldn't have happened. Don't worry, I still have one in my hand. Just take this one, he didn't do it on purpose!"

Just as Xu Xian caught up with Lin Yoon-a, they had a little playful tussle. In the end, Xu Xian managed to grab the white dove badge. However, as he was about to get the badge, he almost fell due to the ice on the ground, and the badge flew out of his hand.

In the end, a figure walked by the fence, and with a crunch... tragedy struck.

In fact, Lin Yoon-a and the others did not understand the significance of the white dove badge to Xu Xian. If they didn't know, it would have been fine, but now that they knew that her badge was left in the car and she had found it, seeing it destroyed made Xu Xian's anger surge to the maximum.

In the eyes of girls like Lin Yoon-a, Xu Xian was a very special girl—traditional, conservative, with a strong sense of justice, occasionally saying some sly things, and strictly adhering to rules and regulations. She lived a very upright life, but also seemed somewhat boring.

However, in reality, such a personality in a society with many peculiar systems in South Korea would make it impossible to live a smooth life.

What would Xu Xian think or do if she saw seniors bullying juniors or bad students bullying classmates at school?

Similarly, in school, pretty girls are often the targets of bullying by senior female students. If they are also trainees, the bullying becomes even more intense.

In fact, since junior high school, Xu Xian had many worries, confusions, and questions, and encountered many troubles.

Although it's hard to completely deny the strange senior-junior system, most of these so-called seniors bring about unpleasant and disgusting traditions for the juniors.

Xu Xian inevitably saw a lot of this, which is a widespread issue in South Korea. Due to her personality, many pressures and thoughts accumulated in her heart, gradually becoming a deep secret.

She clearly hated such behavior and instinctively despised it, but she had to unconditionally follow it—this is tradition, this is cultural heritage.

If we look at it simply, it could be considered teenage烦恼 (troubles). During that time, Xu Xian's changes became more rapid, but no one else noticed, as if her personality had always been like this.

Until an English teacher came to the school for an internship and noticed this slightly special girl compared to other students.

Like a true teacher should, she took the initiative to approach Xu Xian, gradually gaining her trust through a friendly manner. This was the closest person Xu Xian had ever had outside of her family, and she was a teacher.

However, the teacher said they were friends, ignoring the idea that only peers can be friends.

The two had a pleasant time together for about a year. Xu Xian learned many special stories from the teacher and shared all her inner pressures, which were then alleviated. Unfortunately, the teacher left the school after a dispute with a senior, another teacher, at the end of her internship.

Before leaving, the teacher gave Xu Xian a badge and told her she was going abroad to study, and they lost contact after that.

In the past, pigeons were the main means of communication, unlike today with mobile phones, faxes, and sisters.

In the past, pigeons were the bridge of communication, and the pigeons that carried messages bore many people's wishes, expectations, and thoughts...

The other meaning of the white dove is... peace.

The significance of the white dove badge is actually about communication and peace, but in reality, it means different things to different people. The badge itself doesn't really have much meaning.

Years have passed, and Xu Xian has grown up. Her mind has matured, and she has formed her own small worldview. But deep in her heart, there is a white dove that longs to fly freely and simply.

No one dislikes a free life, even the most conservative and upright people. After entering the entertainment industry, this feeling becomes even stronger.

Everyone has their own secrets, and Xu Xian's secret is deeply hidden.

The white dove badge, for Xu Xian, besides being a symbol of her feelings and memories of the teacher, is also a寄托 (寄托) of her inner hopes and desires... a longing to fly freely.

Looking at the completely shattered white dove badge, Xu Xian's small hope seemed to shatter as well. The feeling...

For the first time... Xu Xian felt an uncontrollable anger over something that seemed small. The raging fire completely burned her rationality, her face quickly turned red, and tears streamed down her face. Ignoring Lin Yoon-a's words, she suddenly shouted at the fierce-looking man in front of her, "Compensate me for the white dove!!!"

No one can always remain rational and the same, unless they are a robot.

The team members who arrived later were all frightened, and Lin Yoon-a's mouth opened wide. She involuntarily took two steps back, and her surprise quickly turned to worry as she watched the maknae walk two steps to the man in the leather jacket.

At that moment, Xu Xian suddenly emitted an extremely powerful aura, with the anger and tears in her eyes making her look particularly special...

If this were a two-dimensional world, Xu Xian would definitely have burst into a sky-high golden light, sending everything around her flying. Li Huanle, who was the first to be hit, would probably be completely obliterated.

But this is not a two-dimensional world, so although Li Huanle was somewhat surprised, his reaction to Xu Xian's attitude was not as shocked as the others, because he had seen many people and many special people...

"Your badge is made of plastic, so..."

At this point, Li Huanle paused. Seeing that Xu Xian, the other members, and the manager were all looking at him, he suddenly grinned, "So... it crumbled with one step!"

"Damn it!!!"
