"How about a try?" The boy looked at me, his eyes bright, and for a moment I thought he looked like a snake luring Eve to eat an apple.
His eyes were full of laughter, but I thought he meant it. He really wanted to kiss me.
I thought he was going to kiss me. I was ready to push him away and scream as soon as he molested me, but he didn't. He silently jumped off the windowsill and walked outside, as if he was angry.
I looked at his thin back and couldn't help but cry out, "What's your name?"
"Xia Ze." "No," he said.
Xia Ze...
Xia Ze.
I recited the incantation a few times, then looked out the window at the setting sun and decided to go home. I wanted to go back to my parents' house and see my parents, who had been talking to me ever since I was a child, about how hard it was and how hard it was to raise me.
But before I go back, I called Cheng Ruojun. I won't be lying anymore, and when I think about what happened in the office today, I can't help but shiver.
"Ruo Ruo, I'm going back to my mom's house today. Maybe later." I said into the phone, my voice trembling slightly. I'm more afraid of him than I've ever been before. I could have been coquettish and playful with him before, but now I don't dare.
"Yes." Cheng Ruojun replied and said, "This time you aren't lying to me right?"
"No." I answered immediately, as if I had been a child before a stern head teacher.
"Yeah, I don't think you dare." The smile in Cheng Ruojun's words became even more pronounced, "Come back early after eating today. Let's play some other tricks."
"Alright." "No," I said.
The phone went dead, but his words lingered in my mind, and I knew what he was going to do. Shameless, disgusting, I ate a lot of chocolate to calm myself down.
"Dong, dong, dong." I knocked on the door, and it occurred to me that I didn't have a key to the house since I got married, that I had to knock on the door like a guest every time I came home, that I didn't even have a key when I bought the house with my husband's money.
I had never thought about this before, and it was as if Xia Ze had splashed cold water on me and woke me up, as I started to think about these things that I had never noticed before.
The door was opened after a long time. It was my mother, her hair was burning and her skin was a little tight, probably because she had just been given an injection, her neck and ears were covered in huge gold ornaments, and she was wearing famous brand clothes. Since I married Cheng Ruojun, the living standards of my family had skyrocketed, and she and her friends had to try everything, only the driver would be able to take them out.
She saw me start, then smile, and said, "Why did you come back?" Her smile was a little forced but not happy. Previously, I had received a lot of cold treatment, but I didn't pay attention to it previously. Today, these matters have pierced my heart.
"This is my home." I said unhappily, "Is the meal ready? I'm hungry. "
My mother gave me a quizzical look and said, "It's done. We just finished eating. Come in."
My mother invited me into her room, and it was only then that I saw a girl standing behind her. I recognised her, she was Luo Mengjiao, and had just undergone an abortion.
When she saw me, she smiled and said, "Sis, you came back. This time you came back too suddenly, so we didn't cook anything good."
She was wearing a housecoat, and her hair was neatly tied up. When I looked down, I saw the slippers on her feet.
My heart was sinking.
I smiled at her. "Do you live here now?"
"Yes, I like Ye Kun." She said appropriately, "I heard that auntie's legs are not good, so I came over to help her do housework."
I turned my gaze to my mother, who was smiling and not refuting.
"Let's eat." "Are you staying here today?"
"No, I'll be back after dinner." I hesitated, then said, "I have something to tell you."
I looked at the girl, who smiled and said, "Auntie, I'll go back to my room first."
I looked at her back as she turned and left. She wasn't short, had a good looks, and was even a famous university student, I didn't understand why she insisted on pestering Jiang Yekun, and just from what Jiang Yekun said last time, I knew that he wasn't worth entrusting her to. What made me a little uncomfortable was that she went back to my room.
When my mother saw that Luo Mengjiao had left, she went up to me and pulled at my clothes, "What's the matter now? I heard from your mother-in-law that the woman is living in your house now? "You should go home now, or that woman won't know what to do."
As I listened to my mother's words, I was extremely unhappy, but all I said was, "I'm hungry. Eat."
"What are you eating for?" My mother said, "Your husband will be eaten by others later, so be careful not to get kicked out. Alright, let's make do and quickly go home."
As I listened to my mother's words, I felt wronged in my heart. Tears dripped into the bowl as I said silently, "Mom, didn't you see the palm print on my face?"
My mother was stunned. "Who hit you?" she said, wincing.
"Cheng Ruojun and her mother." I said, I'm too embarrassed to explain in detail how Cheng Ruojun mistreated me.
My mom touched my face. "Cheng Ruojun has a good temper, how did you make him angry? Furthermore, he's your husband. You ran home after he hit you, what kind of thing is that?
I didn't say anything, just looked at my mother. I got beaten up, she thought that I had angered him, and was worried that I would embarrass Cheng Ruojun by coming back, but she didn't ask if it hurt me, nor did she say she would find Cheng Ruojun to settle the score.
"Child, you've been blind since you were young." My mom was still blabbering on, "Whatever they tell you to do, you're not going to do, you're so stupid, and there's no way a couple wouldn't argue, you can't have children, it's good enough for them to marry you, you still have the face to throw a tantrum, look at your character, son-in-law just bought your brother a house, when your brother graduated from university, and had his son-in-law give him some money so he could find a business, go back and apologize quickly."
I stared at my mother, my thoughts churning, tears running down my eyes.
Why hadn't he noticed this before?
Why didn't I notice before that my mother didn't love me at all?
