C61

I tried to raise my arm to shield it from the sun, but my arm was locked.

I sat on the edge of the toilet, hugging my knees, because this was the only place with a little shadow. I hid in it, my body no longer hurting, I was probably used to it.

I looked around the bathroom, which was empty except for the basic toiletries.

I reached for the tap, but just like when I went to get a glass, I was always a little short.

I stuck out my tongue and licked my dry lips. It hurt a little. It must be that the wound had opened up again.

I hugged my knees as hard as I could, and as long as I couldn't drink, I had to be patient.

I smiled a little and said to myself, "I'm the most patient one anyway."

The sun in the bathroom is getting hotter and hotter. There is nowhere for me to hide, and I feel a bit dizzy from being scorched by the sun. Everything that happened in the past appeared in front of my eyes like a lantern.

I saw me when I was a child, squatting in the doorway in a pair of tattered shoes, my coat covered with snow, and I didn't dare to sit on the floor. If my pants were wet or dirty, my mother would hit me, and my face was bruised and as thin as a bamboo pole.

My brother and I quarreled because I didn't understand why he could eat a leek box with eggs, while I ate only leeks. The result of that was that I got slapped by my father and was kicked out to reflect.

I will always remember how bright the stars were that night.

Why was it so hard then, but I never felt it?

As I sat on the ground, I was in a daze, I remembered the look of my wedding dress. It was one that Cheng Ruojun had specially invited foreign designers to design, and it was said that it was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. The diamonds and pearls on it were sewn one by one by the tailors.

That was the happiest time of my life. I suddenly thought of the words I accidentally heard the night before my wedding, and I heard my mother tell my father and brother that they had specially gone to find Du Lirong to make me marry her. They had even said that they would keep a close eye on me in the future and would definitely not let me and Cheng Ruojun leave.

I still remember how I felt at that time, but why I didn't doubt Mom and Dad's love at that time.

I buried my head in my knees, tears flowing down my cheeks. I wanted to leave Cheng Ruojun, my parents.

If death is the only way to leave him, then let me die.

I no longer had any love for him. The only love I had had was spent in countless tortures and beatings.

I will die. I looked up and around me. I stared at the toilet lotion and disinfectant.

I can't take it anymore.

I have made up my mind.

My mind grew more and more preoccupied, and my stomach and head felt as if they were being gripped by a pair of giant hands. Hunger, thirst, pain, I felt my body begin to collapse.

I can't see. There's only one thought in my head, and that is to die.

I started banging my head against the wall unconsciously, again and again, as if my head weren't mine. I didn't feel any pain at all, and something hot was running down my hair.

I actually laughed.

It was at this moment that I heard the door open. Someone seemed to be using a key.

Cheng Ruojun came again right? He probably got off work.

I remembered what he had done to me, and fear took hold of me for a moment.

Die, no more torture if you die, no more beating if you die.

I shut my eyes and hit the wall again and again, my head buzzing. I couldn't hear anything.

But suddenly my head hit something soft and I stopped, but the next second I hit it harder.

Despair gripped my heart. Did Cheng Ruojun come in?

I hit the soft thing again and heard a familiar grunt.

I froze, afraid to open my eyes.

"Look at me, Jiang Rou." I heard a sound above my head.

My body was trembling, I forgot, Xia Ze is currently living here.

Damn, he saw me in my worst state again.

"Jiang Rou, wake up." I heard Xia Ze say, and his voice was like a mouthful of ice-cold water that I had drunk while I was on the verge of dying of thirst in the desert.

I slowly opened my eyes. My vision was filled with red, and even Xia Ze had a terrifying blood colored silhouette.

I know it's blood in my eyes.

Xia Ze squatted down to look at me, his eyes carried a bit of pain, but at that moment, I suddenly remembered that he did not see Cheng Ruojun take me away at the banquet.

If he could stop Cheng Ruojun, would things have escalated to this point?

"Leave me alone." "Let me die." My voice was hoarse, and I was startled by the coldness in my voice.

When Xia Ze heard me, he immediately let go of me. I can feel that after I said those words, Xia Ze was stunned.

I heard Xia Ze chuckle, and there was mockery in his voice.

"Alright." Xia Ze said, "Then go and die." His tone was too cold, like a bucket of cold water being poured on a cold day.

I stared at him, my eyes still red.

"How nice it would be if you died, and your husband could marry a new wife."

He couldn't move me.

Just like before, they didn't pay anything just by relying on your body to earn a lot of money, you are truly a treasure. "Su Yun said in a serious tone. The sarcasm in Xia Ze's tone became even more obvious, and he continued, "Not only will you be able to sell your things alive, you will also be able to sell them for money if you die."

I felt insulted. His voice was full of contempt.

I wanted to slap him, but my arm was grabbed, and Xia Ze grabbed my wrist.

I heard him say, "It's hard to accept it, right? My heart must be in pain, but I'm sorry, but the truth hurts like this." He suddenly stopped his teasing tone and said seriously.

I was stunned. For a moment, I didn't understand what he was going to say to me.

But just as I was stunned, I was suddenly pulled into an embrace. His hand fell on my hair, and I heard him say, "It'll be okay after the pain. Don't be sad."

His tone was so gentle that it was like the spring wind had caressed my wounds. Tears fell involuntarily on his shoulders, tears and blood.
