Puppet made of wood

  After being discharged from the hospital, the bruises on my body had not completely faded away. I didn't go to nightclubs and Chen Sang didn't say anything about it either. These days she was always very busy, so busy that I couldn't even catch a glimpse of her.

  She came back from outside again, naturally with various bruises. I wanted to take this opportunity to have a good talk with her, but the two of us always being stiff like that isn't going to work.

  A phone call from Koba Wang and I had to package myself again. I thought he already had a beautiful female painter and had long forgotten about me.

  When I arrived at the White Building, I happened to see Ba Wang with his back to me on a phone call. His tone was very aggressive and he yelled into the phone, "Three hundred and sixty days a year, how many days are you not busy?!" After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone and threw it onto the sofa.

  Although the overlord speaks harshly and is quite arrogant, always putting on a superior air, I rarely see him get angry. When he's in a bad mood, the one who suffers for sure is me.

  I think he asked me to come over just to vent his frustrations on me, and who knows what else he'll make me go through!

  I watched him having a temper, moving was not good, not moving was also not good, just standing at the gate, not daring to make any sudden movements, and didn't know whether he should go up to greet him or not.

  The boss turned around and saw me, he asked if I wanted to be a wooden stake. How long do you want to stand there? I obediently walked over. I've known the boss for quite some time, and I also know his name is Li Ying, but I still politely call him boss.

  The overlord was in a bad mood, and naturally, I wasn't pleasing to his eyes either. He looked at me with my head down and sarcastically asked if there was gold on the ground for me to pick up! I lifted my head and smiled at him. Anyway, whatever he wanted me to do, I would do it.

  He glanced at me and stopped talking to me, a middle-aged woman brought dinner over, today's dinner was five dishes and one soup, the two of us couldn't finish it. He and I sat at opposite ends with our heads down eating, after a while, he suddenly lifted his head, I was startled, he stared at me and asked "Are you mute? Speak!"

  I feel especially helpless, I really don't know what to say, and I'm even more worried that one wrong word will provoke him, now he's like a time bomb that could go off at any moment.

  I picked up a piece of chicken and smiled, saying that this dish is quite delicious.

  He snorted and stopped looking at me, what does he mean? I obediently ate my meal, he scolded me for being mute, when I spoke it was with disdain. Who knows what he wants?! He should just say it directly, I'm not a worm in his stomach, how would I know what he's thinking?!

  It's probably the difference between north and south. I have a light taste, these dishes are quite salty, just eating a few bites is okay, but after eating more, I really can't swallow it down. Recently, I've been sick, so I've been drinking porridge, my stomach isn't feeling great, and I've only been eating bland food. As soon as I swallowed a piece of duck meat, the strong smell made me feel nauseous, and I couldn't control myself from dry heaving.

  I covered my mouth and looked at the tyrant with trepidation, afraid that I would spoil his appetite. He put down his chopsticks and swept all the dishes to the ground with a wave of his hand. I heard the sound of plates shattering on the floor and felt frightened. Seeing the tyrant's displeased expression, I was even more terrified and thought about quickly getting away from him.

  The overlord sneered at me and scolded me for not being able to eat, saying "You're a puppet! Others tell you what to do, and you just do it. You don't have your own thoughts!"

  I know he's just venting his anger on me, taking advantage of the situation. He's my elder, what can I do? I couldn't possibly argue back with him.

  I quietly didn't speak, letting him scold me. The phone rang and he stopped scolding, telling me to go take a bath.
