Chapter 29 - Desolation Memory

"Two big bowls, one for cilantro and one for onions, the other for nothing. Thank you!" Shen Jianning ordered his dishes familiarly, not caring about the tens of thousands of his woolen sweaters rubbing against the greasy corners of the table.

I sat in my seat, a little uncomfortable, with my head hanging down, not daring to look up at anyone. I stared at the half-painted sticker on the corner of the table, half of SpongeBob's face, smiling foolishly.

"Yiyi, stop looking at that baby sponge. It's too childish!"

"No, I bought a new sticker. I'll give you one!"

"I don't want it, so stupid! "Hey hey, you dare to paste me as your friend!"

"Baji!"

"I said I'd reward you for your stupidity!"

"I'd be happier if you wiped your frozen nose and kissed me! "Boss, give me two bowls of wontons, a big bowl, one doesn't need cilantro or spring onion and doesn't put any food in it. Thank you!"

"One … one …"

A sudden chill hit my forehead and I snapped out of my daze. Looking at Shen Jianning who was touching my forehead, I couldn't tell if it was a memory or reality.

Tears welled up in my eyes, and I looked up, ashamed.

It's just a bowl of wontons, Song Yi.

"Thank you, I haven't been here for a long time. I forgot how blissful it is to eat a bowl of wontons in the middle of winter!" I sniffed and casually wiped my face.

"You've been holding it in at home for too long. You should come out and take a walk. You'll find many things that haven't changed even after the passage of time!" Shen Jianning looked at me, his eyes burning.

I nodded my head with all my might. I believed in those words, regardless of whether the person who spoke was my Ah Ning or not.

Wonton still tasted the same. It wasn't very delicious, but it was warm enough. With a spoonful filled to the brim, it filled the stomach with all the emptiness, giving others the power to face everything without fear.

"Do you know Liu Jiang!?" I wiped my mouth with the last of the soup and looked up.

"Liu Jiang?" Shen Jianning knitted his eyebrows. His appetite seemed to be terrible. He had only eaten half of the wonton. The soup that was filled to the brim with cilantro was green and very pleasing to the eye. " This name was somewhat familiar. Who was it? Should I? "

"It's alright, I was just casually asking!" I smiled and pointed to the half bowl of wontons in his hand. "Aren't you hungry?"

"Hmm, I don't have the habit of eating supper!" Shen Jianning put down the spoon in his hand, not hiding anything. I was stunned as I stared at the bowl in front of me. After a long while, I laughed. "Let's go, I'm full!"

Shen Jianning paid me and I got up. The shack was still bustling with people. There were always too many homeless people in this city, or there were always people who couldn't return home.

For life, no, for life! Same as me!

I slept soundly through the night. When I woke up in the morning, I saw Xiao Jin Dong sitting in the living room. It seemed that she had been here for a long time, but it also seemed that she had just arrived.

"I remember this is my home!" I stood in front of the bathroom door, brushing my teeth.

"I know!" Xiao Jin Dong flipped through the documents in his hands, and a 'swoosh' sound echoed in the small living room.

I spit the toothpaste out of my mouth. "I remember I didn't give you the key!"

"You think I need a key to come in?" Xiao Jin Dong raised his eyebrows and looked at me with disdain, "Where did you go last night?"

"None of your business!" I turned around, skillfully tying my hair up. The next moment, a sharp pain came from my scalp. I looked up at the man in the mirror with a cold expression. I gritted my teeth and cursed, "Xiao Jin Dong, are you crazy?!"

"Yes sir!" Xiao Jin Dong sneered and nodded. He suddenly took out a pair of scissors from nowhere and cut off the long hair in his hands.

My head was free, my hair half up to my shoulders, half flying. "I covered my head as I looked at him in horror. There seemed to be a familiar scene surging through my mind." Xiao Jin Dong, you're crazy! "

I am very sure that this isn't the Xiao Jin Dong that I know. This kind of fear seems to have caused me to go back a long time ago. Instinctively, I chose to run away. Before I could even take a step forward, Xiao Jin Dong grabbed me by the collar of my pajamas and tore it into pieces.

"Xiao Jin Dong, how dare you, I'll call the police right now!"

The scissors did not stop. They cut off the hair that I had left behind me for a very long time. It fell to the ground all over my body. I heard a clatter as the scissors were thrown out of the bathroom onto the living room table.

"Since you asked for it, I won't do anything. It seems that I've let you down!" My pants were also torn, Xiao Jin Dong's rudeness at this time was completely inversely compared to his usual grace. I was in so much pain that I started to tremble, grind my teeth in hatred, and never stopped swearing. On this morning that I thought was very beautiful, time seemed to have returned to how it was many years ago when I was raped, imprisoned, and lost all of my dreams and dignity.

I sat paralyzed on the ground, covered by Xiao Jin Dong's bath towel, staring at the mirror at the man tidying up his appearance.

"Song Yi, don't do anything that will make me unhappy. Otherwise, I don't know what I will do to you next time." Xiao Jin Dong's voice was quiet and sexy. When she looked over, her eyes were filled with pity.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud, my laughter was crazed. I opened my arms and showed the scars all over my body. I said, "Xiao Jin Dong, look carefully, is there anything more outrageous that you can do? "No, one more time, I'll die for you to see!"

Xiao Jin Dong laughed even more crazily than I did, "Song Yi, if you dare to die, I'll let Hu Xia and Shen Jia Ning die with you. I, Xiao Jin Dong, will never lie to you!"

I raised my hand to hit him, but Xiao Jin Dong grabbed onto me. The disparity in power made me feel extremely pitiful.

"Xiao Jin Dong, what do you want?" I was desperate, like that half-painted sponge baby who couldn't get out, couldn't get out, couldn't get out.

"Song Yi, it's my turn to ask you what I want. You've always known that. But what do you want? Do you know it yourself? " Xiao Jin Dong coldly threw me onto the ground. Before leaving the room, he looked back at me, "Song Yi, you will soon know that the consequences of everything you've done are unbearable for you!"

He said, "Song Yi, the consequences of everything that you've done are unbearable for you." Therefore, overnight, the wonton stall that had existed for many years, the place that carried the warmth of many people, had disappeared.

He wanted me to have no memory at all, I understand! But what about Shen Jianning? What did he want? He remembered everything, but forgot that I was the one who liked to eat coriander and not scallions, not Anin.
