"This is your choice." he said suddenly. "One has to sacrifice something in order to live in this world."

I thought he was going, but he didn't, and instead he sat down in the closet with me, looking at me with a trace of pity in his eyes, and I hated him for looking down at me like that.

I was very nervous under his gaze and was about to open my mouth to say him again when I suddenly heard a voice coming from outside the door. Xia Ze's expression suddenly changed and he covered my mouth, then went into the cupboard and very naturally closed the door.

Right at this moment, the sound outside became even louder. I could hear the sound of a vacuum cleaner, and I guessed that Sister Guo was cleaning the area outside, and I prayed that she would not go into the cloakroom. If Sister Guo found out that Xia Ze and I were here, he would definitely tell Cheng Ruojun about it, and if Cheng Ruojun knew about this, he would definitely kill me.

I couldn't help but remember the way he had beaten me last night, and my body began to tremble, so that at that moment all my thoughts were gone.

Maybe Xia Ze behind me felt something, he let go of my mouth and tightly hugged me from behind, as if he wanted to give me some comfort.

He did not comfort me.

I tried to break free of his grip, but he was much stronger than I was, and his arms were wrapped around my waist so tightly that I couldn't move. I was angry, and the sound of the vacuum cleaner was getting closer.

"Don't move." Xia Ze suddenly leaned close to my ear and whispered. His breath landed on my ear and made my ear itch.

"Let me go." "No," I said.

"Don't talk." Xia Ze's expression was a little helpless.

I wanted to not speak, but Xia Ze's hands still hadn't let go of me. I didn't want him to touch me, we were just arguing, and I didn't want Sister Guo to see us.

Just as I was about to say Xia Ze again, Xia Ze suddenly stared fixedly at me. Both of his hands supported my body on both sides, and when I was caught off guard, he kissed me on the lips.

I was scared.

I didn't know that he would actually kiss me under such circumstances with such courage. If Sister Guo saw me, I would probably really die.

I tried to pull away from him, but he held me tight, and there was a smile in his eyes as he looked at me.

His lips were very soft, and the way he kissed me was also very gentle. He didn't look like Cheng Ruojun who wanted to bite off a piece of my lips, but the wound on my mouth had not healed yet, so his actions still hurt me.

Because I was too close, I could see his silhouette in the darkness, and it was a familiar feeling, as if I had been with him in such darkness, and the memory welled up in me, and I didn't want to admit that he was there when I was in the worst situation of my life.

When he finally let go of me, he leaned close to my ear and said, "I'm sorry."

I heard his words and looked at him incredulously, but then I lowered my head. I didn't know how to face him.

The noise outside was getting louder and louder. Sister Guo seemed to think that I was not here and so angrily smashed the things inside the house. I wasn't that afraid anymore.

"Is that you?" I asked, my voice so soft it sounded like a whisper.

"It's me." he said at once. Does he know what I'm asking?

"You …" Just as I was about to ask further, I suddenly heard him hiss, and immediately after, I heard a sound coming from outside the cabinet. Turns out that Sister Guo had come to the cloakroom, I was too focused on my things and didn't notice her enter.

I pricked up my ears and listened to her voice outside. I prayed that she would leave soon.

I could imagine what she was doing. She might be testing my clothes, but I think she would be disappointed. After marrying Cheng Ruojun, other than the important things he gave me, I gave most of the valuable things to my mother.

Only now did I feel that I was such a fool. Previously, I was so focused on thinking about my family that I didn't even leave myself a chance to escape.

I heard the Sister Guo opening the cabinets one by one. She was getting closer and closer to me, and I was very scared.

Xia Ze sensed my fear and grabbed onto my shoulder. I struggled to get away, but his hand climbed up once again, but this time around, he only used his fingers to lightly hook onto the little finger on my right hand. His fingertips were ice-cold, causing me to wake up.

I think that right now, Sister Guo has already pressed her hand on the pulling ring on the cabinet that I am in. As long as she opens the cabinet door, she will be able to see me and Xia Ze naked.

I can't explain this kind of situation no matter how hard I try, but I did kiss Xia Ze just now.

My left hand covers my chest, and my right hand feels as if it is grabbing onto his right hand. He grabs hold of my hand, and for some reason, I am no longer afraid.
