I put my head on his shoulder. It was warm there, and I felt the warmth I hadn't felt in a long time.

I wanted to push Xia Ze away, but Xia Ze immediately noticed my intentions, he immediately grabbed onto my waist, preventing me from leaving. I wanted to struggle, but I already lacked the strength to do so.

He poured me a glass of water and I reached out to take it, but he dodged me.

His voice was gentle and amiable, and my heart suddenly softened.

I looked up at his face, which was still smiling, as usual, with a hint of frivolity in it. I had the feeling he was laughing at me, that I had misunderstood him.

Xia Ze noticed my reaction and touched my hair with a smile. His movements were soft, as if he was afraid of hurting me.

He reached for my face and put the glass of water to my lips. His hand was cold, and when his hand touched mine, I felt so good I knew I was feverish.

Cold water entered my mouth and slid down my throat. I felt as if I had regained some of my strength.

My lips were trembling from nervousness. I should be worried that the Sister Guo would barge in, but I didn't want his hands to leave my skin. I was too greedy and gentle.

Xia Ze's expression did not change from beginning to end.

Finally, I finished drinking the water in the cup. Xia Ze moved it away affectionately.

I stepped back, a little timidly, but he grabbed me.

His fingertips landed on the wound on my head. He tapped them lightly, then placed them in front of my eyes. I saw red blood.

"Does it hurt?" His words were as light as a fist as it hit my heart. My nose turned sour and tears fell from my eyes in that instant.

"Don't cry." He smiled and said, "Do you only cry? Do you know why you're so miserable? Because idiots should live a harder life. "

I stared at him, but I couldn't get angry.

He held a piece of bread to my lips, and I opened my mouth and swallowed it.

So sweet.

"I know you want to leave Cheng Ruojun, but don't you feel indignant leaving just like that?"

I swallowed another hunk of bread and said, "What can I do?"

"I don't know what you can do." Xia Ze said, "Everyone depends on themselves."

I felt that he was very strange. He clearly came to my side on his own accord and even helped me on his own accord, yet he used such a mocking tone to speak to me. It was as if he was shrouded in fog and I couldn't see the real him.

"I don't know what to do." I said, last night I was so angry I almost jumped out of my skin. I don't know where I got the courage to kill Cheng Ruojun.

Xia Ze seemed to have been defeated by my stupidity, he suddenly laughed and caressed my hair, he said, "Then slowly think about it." It was a very helpless tone.

He put the rest of the bread in my hand and started to get up.

I looked at his face, and for a moment there was something empty in me. Maybe he was the only one who could get me out of here, and he was the only one I could reach out to when I fell off the cliff.

I don't know where I got the courage, but I grabbed a corner of him. His clothes were made of pure cotton, and his grip was very soft.

Xia Ze turned his head to look at me, he was staring at my face, his eyes were extremely indifferent, why would he show such an expression to me, but he immediately laughed.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"What should I do?" "No," I said.

His face was so close to mine that I could see the reflection of me in his eyes. It was so embarrassing, how I had managed to make my life look like this.

"There's nothing good about you but your face."

I tried to lower my head, but he lifted my chin.

"Anyway, we can't die." The breath of his words landed on my face, tickling me. The atmosphere at this moment was a bit charming.

"Why are you helping me?" I asked him.

He looked at my face for a moment and smiled. "Maybe it's because I love you," he said in a frivolous voice.

I stopped and looked at Xia Ze with an expression I didn't know what to do.

"Why?" I asked him again, what was there to like about me,

His lips were pressed against mine, and his kiss was soft and gentle, as if he was afraid that he would tear the wound at the corner of my mouth. His attitude made me feel comforted, and I became a little addicted to it.

My back was pressed against the tiles, and sweat was soaking my back. It wasn't the first time I'd kissed him, but this time I was more engrossed.

I clung to his clothes. I knew that his love for me was strange, but I had come to a dead end and needed warmth.

Only now did I realize that I didn't want to die, that I wanted to live, that I wanted to see a better world.

"You have to listen to Cheng Ruojun." Xia Ze released me and said, his hand slowly stroking my back. "Eat more, only then will you have the strength to escape."

I nodded.

"We need to prepare more money." Xia Ze said, "That way, after you leave, you won't be left with nowhere to go because you have no money."

I gave all my money to my family, and from now on I have to think for myself.

"Of course, the most important thing is..." Xia Ze paused, "You have to listen to me."

I was waiting for Xia Ze to say the second half of the sentence, the word "listen". I heard it from other people's mouths countless of times, and I lost myself.

"If you want to listen to Cheng Ruojun's words, at least on the surface." Xia Ze said, "This way, you can suffer a little less."

I nodded in agreement.

Finally, Xia Ze caressed my hair and said, "If you have anything you want to tell me, I will help you." His tone was somewhat subtle, as if he was hinting at something.

I woodenly nodded my head. I couldn't tell if I was moved or sad.

"I'm leaving." Xia Ze stood up and left, and at the same time, poured some water into his toothbrush cup.

I looked at his back. He looked a little thin, but he lacked a lot of strength.

The moment Xia Ze closed the door, I immediately stuffed the leftover bread into my mouth. I think that the way I wolfed down the food was extremely unsightly.

Tears ran down her cheeks. I will obey, I will become a different person, one day I will leave this place.

I ate the bread, drank all the water in the cup, hugged my knees and slept. When I opened my eyes again, I saw Cheng Ruojun's face.
