I don't know how much time had passed, but I seemed to hear someone calling me. The voice was very familiar, so familiar that I wanted to run away.
"Wake up." The voice didn't leave, but continued to push me, as if to wake me up.
I tried to back away, but he grabbed my wrist and asked me with a smile, "What are you hiding from?"
"Come in."
He uncuffed me, and I saw that my wrist was bruised, leaving a deep scar that hurt when I touched it.
"Xiao Rou, I'm sorry. I lost my mind yesterday." Cheng Ruojun said, his tone was very sincere, sincere to the point that I nearly forgave him.
I stared at his face, carefully observing his expression. I wasn't sure if he was faking it or not.
"Xiao Rou..." He took my hand and I dodged it, and as soon as I did, his expression changed, and I pushed my way to the corner of the balcony and put my head in my hands.
Right at this moment, my entire body was suddenly lifted up, I panicked and struggled, wanting to stay away from Cheng Ruojun.
"Don't move." His voice hardened.
I was motionless in his arms, my whole body rigid.
He laid me down on the bed, tucked me in, and gently stroked my cheek with his fingertips. His movements were very gentle, but I was afraid they were all an illusion.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hit you." Cheng Ruojun said.
I looked at him and wondered if he was still playing with me.
"You have to listen to me in the future. If you listen to me, I won't beat you up." Cheng Ruojun said, "In the past, how obedient are you? Remember, you are my pet, your entire family depends on me. As long as you behave, I will always treat you well." "Because you're the person I love the most."
He leaned over and kissed me lightly on the forehead, and then he went to work.
I was lying in bed, and I felt cold, and I was sure I had a fever, and my head was heavy, and every inch of my skin hurt.
Now that the sky was already bright, Cheng Ruojun intentionally pulled up the curtains in the room before he left. It was very dark in the room now, but there was still light coming from the thick curtain, and Cheng Ruojun almost couldn't open his eyes due to the light.
The bedroom was too big, and I felt trapped here. My life had been a hard labor.
I got up from the bed. I didn't have the strength to dress, and I didn't want to. My self-esteem had run out last night.
I hid into the dark cloakroom with the closet filled with clothes. My back was pressed tightly against the cold wall and the soft blanket and jacket wrapped around me. I was really scared.
I want to leave Cheng Ruojun, but what if he catches me? He might kill me.
I put my head in my lap, and the more I thought about it, the more scared I became.
I don't know how much time passed before I suddenly heard the bedroom door open. My ears pricked up and my heart started pounding uncontrollably. I was very nervous. I was very scared. People saw me like this.
I heard footsteps getting closer and closer, and I was so nervous I could barely breathe.
It must be the Sister Guo. I thought, but Sister Guo or something like that, she wouldn't come in and clean up when I was at home.
It could also be Cheng Ruojun, or perhaps he had forgotten something.
Could it be Xia Ze? I wish it was him, and I wish it wasn't him. I don't want him to see me like this, but I also want someone to hug me.
When I heard the sound of footsteps approaching my closet, I couldn't help but cry out, "Get out!"
Whoever it is, I don't want him to see me like this.
I heard a noise outside the closet door. He was about to open it.
I immediately held on to the door. "Don't come over here, get lost," I called again.
I was in such a sorry state that I hated myself for not being able to change it. I told myself not to cry, that crying would make it worse.
But someone outside was trying so hard to open the door, and my fingertips tugged painfully against the doorframe.
"Please, don't open it." I said, feeling powerless. I don't understand why I give up every time.
When the door finally opened, I collapsed on top of a pile of clothes, tears streaming down my face. It was despair, helplessness, and shame that made me want to die.
"Does it hurt?" I suddenly heard someone say that it was a familiar and unfamiliar voice. I had a lot of questions I wanted to ask him, but when he actually appeared before me, I couldn't say a single word. Even knowing the answers didn't make any sense at all.
"Cry." His voice was light, but his nonchalant manner suddenly annoyed me.
"F * ck off." "Don't let me see you."
He just looked at me, and I could feel his gaze, and he saw all the ugly wounds on my body.
