Xia Ruoxin was still laughing, but she did not know if she was laughing at herself, him, or that Xia Yixuan who had already tasted her own victory.
She closed her eyes as if she was waiting for her death sentence.
Suddenly, si! Her clothes were ripped apart. There was nothing else that a man could do to a woman. She was just like a rotten doll who was trampled on, despised on… hurt by people. Lightly, she moved her lips and could only taste her own blood.
She felt that her body was very cold, but at this point, there was no more pain to speak of.
Suddenly, she felt a pain in her neck. The man bit her neck with all his might, but she only felt the warm liquid that landed on her shoulders.
He cried.
She did not.
It was only until the man left and the entire room was pitch black again that everything was as silent as ever. She opened her eyes and picked up the ripped clothes from the floor. She held her stomach and walked to the washroom to wipe off the bloodstains bit by bit. However, surprisingly, she did not feel any pain.
She scooped up some water and placed it by her mouth to drink. Her throat rumbled like a small beast. How could a person not have any more pain or harm?
She slid down onto the floor and hugged her broken body, enduring all the pain in her heart and on her body. Just that, she did not know if she could last through the night.
…
“Did Brother Lui go see Sister?” Xia Yixuan asked as she massaged Song Wan’s arm.
Chu Lui pressed his cold lips tightly and did not say a word.
Xia Yixuan bit her finger. “I don’t think there’s much food left at home. Do you want me to send some over?”
Chu Lui stood up, walked over, and held Song Wan’s hand tightly.
“Brother Lui, you should take care of Auntie Song. The doctor said that if her family accompanied her more and talked to her more, there’s a chance that she would wake up. As for Sister’s side, I’ll prepare something for her.”
Chu Lui did not agree or disagree.
Xia Yixuan lowered her head. Although she was smiling, the cruelty crept up to her face.
Chu Lui extended his hand and placed it on his neck. Then, he ripped out a safety amulet and broke the strand until there was a clear red mark on his neck.
He opened his hand and placed the safety amulet in his palm. He was thinking if he had another chance, then he would rather not meet that woman in his life. He’d rather not like her and not fall in love with her.
He walked to Xia Yixuan’s side, and she hurriedly stood up and placed her hands behind her. Both her hands clenched the back of her clothes tightly. “What’s the matter, Brother Lui?” She laughed and was a bit nervous.
Chu Lui opened his palm and placed the safety amulet in front of her.
“Help me pass this to her and tell her not to let me see her ever again.”
“Okay.” Xia Yixuan smiled and kept her fingers, but in a place that no one could see, there was cruelty in her eyes. Yes, not meet again. That would be for the best to not meet.
Chu Lui turned around and sat in front of Song Wan before clutching his mother’s hand tightly.
“Sorry, Mom. I can’t do it. Everything is because of me. Mom, let’s let her off, okay? I promise you I won’t see her for the rest of my life. Let’s just treat it as she’s dead, okay?”
He lightly grabbed Song Wan’s hand, but she did not give him any response. The doctor said that perhaps for the rest of her life, she could only stay like this and wait to grow old and then for death.
At this point, in Chu Lui’s darkened eyes, there was too much conflict and struggles. In the end, the calmness came back; it was like dead silence.
Actually at this point as well, Xia Ruoxin was really waiting for her death. She thought that she could not escape that kind of death in her life. She would just rot in place, and no one would ever know that it was her.
Ka! The door outside opened.
She maintained her posture and did not even want to move.
The light suddenly turned on, and there was a pair of heels on the floor. Actually, she did not even need to look to see who was her. Other than Xia Yixuan, there would not be a second person.
The woman’s heels clicked again and step by step, it forced her to be awake and hurt her heart.
“Aiyo, are you really my sister? Why have you become this skinny?” Xia Yixuan was very satisfied with the woman that looked just like a bag of bones. “Oh my, I forgot. I forgot to put food here.” She walked over and squatted in front of Xia Ruoxin. This place was really too dirty, and she was disgusted.
She took out a few buns from a paper box. “Sister, isn’t this the buns that you love the most? I remember that you would always buy this when you went out last time.
“It turns out it tastes pretty good.” She took a bite and placed the bun in front of Xia Ruoxin.
“Sister, do you want some?”
Xia Ruoxin opened her eyes, and she had no more strength as the juices in her stomach kept on churning. Her survival instinct made her reach out her hand, but when she was just about to touch the bun, Xia Yixuan’s hand released.
“Sorry, I didn’t hold it properly.”
She apologized in her mouth, but she could not hide the smile in her eyes. They had grown up together, but no matter if they were real sisters or not, they were still pretty familiar with each other.
Xia Ruoxin knew what Xia Yixuan wanted to do.
Xia Yixuan also knew how to completely destroy Xia Ruoxin.
“There’s more. Sister, don’t panic.”
Xia Yixuan smiled, and she took out another paper box with a freshly roasted chicken in it. She stood up and tore a piece of chicken meat to eat before throwing the bones all over the floor. When she finished half of it, she was already full.
“Sigh, what a pity. I’m full. What should I do with this?” She seemed like she was pretty frustrated.
“Sigh, forget it. Sister, you can have it.” She passed the paper box to Xia Ruoxin.
After staring at her for half a day, Xia Ruoxin carefully stretched out her hands. Once again, Xia Yixuan kept the paper box. She loved to do this type of giving people hope and taking it away.
