But seeing that I barely passed each exam, she thought I was mediocre and was relieved to let me continue reading.
Gu Yixuan's eyes flickered, and images from that time flooded his mind.
"Books helped me a lot, I learned many things from them.
I have a great memory, almost photographic. I can always apply what I've read. I even secretly got up in the middle of the night, trying to stand and rehabilitate my leg muscles.
The doctor said my leg was useless, but I didn't believe it.
I read many medical books myself and knew my leg had a chance to recover. Thus, besides reading, my life was all about rehabilitating my legs."
"Finally, one day, I took my first step. Although I fell, I was very happy; my leg could finally move.
However, I had to continue pretending, not showing it. I thought life would continue like that, as long as I kept up the charade, I could live well."
