Maybe it was because I was too tired today, or maybe it was because I was sitting in the back seat, allowing me to relax my guard against Song Mo Ran. Unknowingly, I fell into a deep sleep.
In my dream, I went back to when I was a child. Mom and Dad were in the kitchen preparing a sumptuous dinner. My sister and I were in the living room watching cartoons and braiding each other's hair.
"Xiao Yu, Xiao-Xiao, it's time to eat." Mom's sweet voice rang out and my sister and I rushed to the dining table.
The elder sister tiptoed on her toes and gently tugged at her mother's apron, softly asking, "Mom, did you make sweet and sour pork today?"
"You don't like sweet and sour pork, why do you ask?" His mother was confused.
"Xiao-Xiao likes it!" My sister looked at me, and we smiled at each other.
Mom squatted down and gently rubbed our noses, saying, "Alright, alright. Mom made Xiaoxiao a Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs and Xiao Yu a Cola chicken wings. They're both your favorites. Hurry up and start."
I pouted and asked, "Where's father? We'll have to wait for father to eat together."
"Daddy is here!" Dad came out of the kitchen in his apron, picked me up, and put me on his shoulder.
His sister ran over and tugged at his pants legs, shouting, "Dad, I want it too!"
"All of you, quickly stop messing around. The food should get cold soon."
When father heard mother's reproachful tone, he didn't dare to act rashly. He immediately put me down and comforted his sister, "Xiao Yu, next time father will let you ride. Let's eat first."
The elder sister pouted and unwillingly returned to the table.
The four of us ate happily around a table. I knew it was a dream, but I never wanted to wake up.
Suddenly, Mom and Dad looked as if they were in extreme pain. They clutched their stomachs and collapsed painfully onto the floor.
My sister and I panicked. We didn't know what had happened. Mom and Dad started to vomit blood nonstop. Their bodies started to spasm as they curled up together.
"Mom, dad, no!" I woke up screaming, my heart pounding.
While I was still in shock, Song Mo Ran's face suddenly appeared in front of me. I was frightened to the point of propping myself up, but I ignored the fact that I was still in the car.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Song Mo Ran didn't even have the slightest intention of apologizing for scaring me. I bent my waist as I stood in the narrow space within the car and lightly nodded my head.
He chuckled and entered the carriage and sat on the seat. Just when I was feeling suspicious, he pulled me away. My center of gravity was unsteady, so he held me in his arms.
"Song Mo Ran!" I exclaimed.
He is unmoved and gently hugged me, patting my quilt. This … Is it a comfort? But why did it feel so weird?
"We're home. Get off the car." The man said coldly.
Just a second ago, I thought that Song Mo Ran was concerned about me, but the next second, his change in attitude caught me off guard. I rubbed my head that was hurt from the impact and followed him out of the car.
It was only a few hundred meters from the garage to the door of the house, but it seemed like I walked for a long time with Song Mo Ran. I was extremely reluctant to go home since it meant that Song Mo Ran could do whatever he wanted with me.
Looking at the back of the man in front of me, my heart couldn't help but shiver. Would he torture me like he did his sister? I didn't know. I felt that with every step I took, I was closer to hell.
Finally, I reached the gates of hell.
Song Mo Ran opened the door and walked in. He turned his head and stared at me. I stood outside the door, not daring to take a step forward. I wanted to make my last desperate struggle.
"What are you blanking out for? Come in." Song Mo Ran's order could not be refused.
I took a deep breath and stepped into the house, prepared to face everything.
Surprisingly, Song Mo Ran didn't do anything to me. After he closed the door, he went straight upstairs. I didn't know what he wanted to do as I quietly watched his every move.
A minute later, when he reappeared, there was another person next to him, my sister.
He pulled on his sister's arm, ignoring her feelings, and roughly pulled her downstairs. I hastily ran to the foot of the stairs and shouted, "Song Mo Ran, what are you doing? Let go of my sister! "
Song Mo Ran wouldn't listen to me at all. He flung his sister forward violently and her center of gravity unsteadily fell to the ground. She didn't resist and there wasn't a single ripple in her eyes. I ran forward to help her up.
What followed was a crisp slap. My elder sister's face immediately turned red with five finger marks. Even I was shocked by what I saw. I had no idea how painful it was to slap my elder sister's face.
However, her sister seemed to be woken up by the slap. She put a hand on her face and looked at Song Mo Ran hatefully with tears shining in her eyes.
"Song Mo Ran, how can you be so heartless? Big Sister is your wife after all!" I couldn't stop feeling sorry for my sister, so I shouted at Song Mo Ran.
However, he didn't care about me at all. He just stared at his sister and slowly said, "Don't you have a share in this as well?"
The elder sister looked at Song Mo Ran expressionlessly and said, "So what, so what? Isn't she still here?"
Song Mo Ran was angered by his sister's words as though he did not expect his sister to dare to offend him. He pulled his sister up from the ground and dragged her into her room.
I've been trying to stop Song Mo Ran. I know what she wants to do to my sister, and I don't want that to happen again.
But how can my strength compare to Song Mo Ran's? He easily threw me off and took advantage of this time to bring his sister into the room and lock her up.
His sister's voice kept calling out from the door, and I could clearly feel Song Mo Ran's anger.
I curled up on the floor outside the door, feeling extremely guilty for my sister. Why did I, who was the one who made the mistake, want my sister to take it on my behalf? Why do we have to live like this?
Although the place where I used to live was not big, but at least I was warm and happy. I thought about that dream I had on the car, those blissful times were so real and intoxicating, but that kind of happiness would never happen again. I buried my head between my knees and silently wept.
Suddenly, my sister's voice stopped and I slowly stood up. I felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground, but I quickly stabilized myself. I thought Song silently ended the SM and waited for him to come out, but after a long time, there was no sound.
"Lin Xiaoyu, did you help Lin Xiaoxiao escape?" Even though we were separated by a door, I could feel Song Mo Ran's overbearing attitude.
