In the quiet room, my reading voice is particularly clear. I feel that at this moment, I am very much like a primary school student whose grades are falling, and the head teacher finds me to understand the situation, asking me to say something about whether I have encountered any difficulties.
I finally finished reading the self-criticism book, I glanced at the tyrant and found him drinking red wine leisurely, but his eyes were still on me. He put down his glass and told me that he went diving with friends in Hainan yesterday and picked up a pearl, asking if I wanted it.
Nonsense, of course I wanted it. How could I not want something that's free? He saw right through my thoughts and told me to go find the pearls in his luggage myself. I quickly ran to the adjacent closet, rummaged through his suitcase, and indeed found a small box. I excitedly opened the box, but was disappointed to see that the pearls were not only small, but also not round. You can buy a whole string of them on the market for less than 100 yuan! He's really stingy!
I picked it up and smelled it, and there was a salty sea smell! I went into the bedroom, Bawang asked me if I liked it, I thought he just came to play with me, so I had to pretend to like it.
He said, "Then have someone else drill a hole in it tomorrow and make it into a necklace." No way! Wearing this broken pearl around my neck would be too embarrassing! And besides, the cost of drilling a hole is more expensive than the pearl itself. I agreed verbally, and casually tossed the box into my closet.
The overlord sat cross-legged on the bed, leaning against the mattress, with a lazy and sloppy appearance. If it weren't for his face, the real silk pajamas he wore really had a few rogue-like qualities. It's hard to imagine that he's a soldier. Ah, right, earlier he said he wrote a self-criticism letter, I wonder who can keep him in check, could it be his old man?
I sat on the bed, unable to bear my curiosity, and carefully asked Bawang who he had written a self-criticism letter for today. I thought Bawang would scold me for being nosy, after all, it wasn't something to be proud of, and Bawang was someone who cared about his reputation. Unexpectedly, Bawang immediately straightened his back, his face turned serious, and his eyes shone with deep respect as he said "My teacher".
Seeing him show admiration, I was a bit surprised. It turned out that he also respected someone so much. The overlord turned his head and looked at me, saying that if you had the chance to meet him, you would admire him even more. He is an extremely charming person, and it's hard to find a few people in this world who are as wise as him. The teacher is one of the few people my father respects.
I don't know who the old man of the Overlord is, and even more unclear who his teacher is. But from the tone of the Overlord, I can understand that the other party is not a figure in my world, so I don't want to investigate further.
I pretended to yawn and said I was tired, the tyrant gave me a glance, he scolded me for being like a pig, only knowing how to eat, sleep, watch TV, and play with my phone. You are all great figures, I am just a small person, what else can I do?
The tyrant felt that it was meaningless to talk to me anymore, he lifted the quilt with disdain and glanced at me, then turned his back on me and lay down on the Simmons mattress.
The overlord has always thought that I am only good at growing breasts, not brains. I'm used to it and want to sleep in the corner. He suddenly asked me what I said to Chihiro, looks like he knows everything that's happened.
He must think I'm bullying his precious darling again. I'll tell him the whole story, of course without mentioning the fact that the king is not interested in romantic affairs. He's such a proud person and definitely can't accept it, or he might even think I'm trying to drive them apart.
The Overlord whispered to me that next time I see Akane, just pretend not to know her, and I responded with a "yes", turning my back on the Overlord to sleep. As expected, he thought I was bullying Akane. The Overlord's voice came from behind, saying that Akane is actually quite pitiful, and he doesn't want anyone to hurt her.
These words of cherishing me like a treasure shouldn't be said to me, right? And does this count as his warning? I hummed in agreement. Neither of us spoke, the atmosphere was chilly, and I curled up under the blanket. After who knows how long, the tyrant turned over, he kicked me with his foot and scolded me for sleeping on a wooden board, half my body was outside, telling me to turn over and sleep.
I turned to face the overlord, finding his piercing eyes staring at me, and I stopped moving. He asked if I was angry. I smiled and told him that I knew my identity, understood the boundaries, and wasn't qualified to be angry yet.
His hand grasped my waist, he looked at me and said Lu Xiao Wen, didn't you know that men all like to conquer? If it were any other woman with a bit of brains, she would show jealousy and discontent.
I put on a wronged face, pretending to be unhappy, and pouting. I dare guarantee that he would definitely look at me with disdain and scold me for not being convincing enough. He pinched my cheek and asked if I was still playing the hard-to-get trick.
Catch you! Every time he mentions this word, I feel particularly angry.
He leaned over to kiss my cheek, his hand on my waist, praising me: "Lu Xiao Wen, you're actually not stupid at all. In fact, you're even smarter than other women. From the start, you knew how to capture my attention."
Damn it, he said I was intentionally getting close to him, he always thinks women are self-righteous, but the one who is really self-righteous is him! Or maybe his ancestors! I immediately got angry, my head a bit dizzy, and suddenly sat up from bed, blurting out whatever came to mind. I said you really overestimate me, I'd rather disappear from your sight, do you think I really want to stay? Even if all the women in the world wanted to get into your bed, I wouldn't care.
The overlord pulled my arm hard, pinning me to the bed, and the back of my head hit the wooden headboard. I was in so much pain that my eyes were filled with tears. The overlord pressed down on me, his hand gripping my neck.
He glared at me, gritting his teeth and saying, "You're not worthy, Lu Xiaowen. Who do you think you are? You're just a plaything that Song Muzhi got tired of, got pregnant and was abandoned. How many men have you slept with? What have you done? You're just a prostitute, who do you think you are? Your father doesn't acknowledge you, your mother has lost you, those younger siblings don't even consider you as their sister. Even if I were to kill you today, no one would miss you. You're basically unwanted, and it's out of pity that I took you in."
The overlord has always had a poisonous tongue, but I didn't expect him to say something that hurt so much. He really did achieve his goal of making my heart ache. I feel like there's a hand squeezing my heart and it's hard to breathe.
I place my hand on my heart, where it still beats, but with each beat, I feel as if I'm being torn apart.
The overbearing man looked down at me from a high position and said, "Lu Xiaowen, you're so shameless. I'm not a patient person. If your mouth doesn't know how to speak properly, then shut it for me. If you say something like this again, I'll beat you until you learn how to speak."
He panted heavily as he got off me, pulling the quilt over his head. Tears fell from my eyes, and I bit my lip to prevent myself from crying out loud. I told myself not to cry, but the tears just wouldn't stop. I stared blankly at the ceiling, feeling a chill run down my body, my feet were cold, and so was my heart.
These days, I thought Ba Wang was bad-tempered but not difficult to get along with. In fact, he never looked at me straight in the eye. I wasn't sad because I had long understood, but people aren't wood, after knowing him for a year and being together for several months, even if it's just a dog, you'll still have some feelings.
After a while, the tyrant suddenly got up from bed. I thought he was going to blow his top and looked at him warily. He didn't look at me at all, cursed loudly, opened the wardrobe to put on clothes, and walked towards the door.
Not long after, I heard the sound of his car starting up. He left, and since I didn't make him happy, someone else would make him comfortable. I'm just a miss, he could have easily found a university student, a star, anyone who is more high-end and elegant than me.
Only after Ba Wang left did I relax my teeth, and a sobbing sound burst out. I hugged my knees and cried loudly, not just for Ba Wang, but for the truth in his words. Even if I died, how many people would remember me? I clearly have parents and younger siblings, but none of them treat me like family.
I was crying! The phone rang, and I didn't want to answer it at first, but the ringing stopped and then started again. I wiped away my tears and answered the call, seeing that it was Lu Yishu who had called me.
She cried on the phone and told me that her brother was gone. I remembered the boy who lay in bed and forced a smile at me, last time he smiled and told me he wanted to watch the Olympics, he really left.
I calmed down and comforted Lu Yishu, maybe her brother's departure was a relief. Lu Yishu told me intermittently that the doctor had already said that her brother could no longer swallow anything, his body couldn't absorb nutrients, and he relied on intravenous glucose to supplement his nutrition. She said if her brother stayed in the hospital, he would definitely be able to live for another period of time, and in another half month, it would be his 18th birthday.
I advised her that she had done her best, and she said she was afraid and asked if I could accompany her home. I hesitantly asked her now? She told me Shi Xiu let the driver take her back.
I didn't even have time to rush back from Shenzhen to the county town, which would take at least ten hours, so I just put on my clothes and accompanied Lu Yishu home.
It took ten hours of tossing and turning before Lu Yishu finally arrived home. At that time, the county town did not strictly enforce cremation, and many people would buy a piece of land in the countryside to bury their loved ones underground. Lu Yixuan was brought back to his hometown and placed in the main hall.
Mr. Du saw that Lu Yishu didn't say anything, and Lu Yishu lifted the mosquito net to look at his younger brother inside. His eyes were not completely closed, others said that Mr. Du covered him with a blessing paper several times, but Lu Yixuan still didn't close his eyes, it's said he was still reluctant to leave the world.
How can he not be reluctant to leave! His life has just begun!
After the funeral, Lu Yishu stayed at her old home for three days. Teacher Du found Lu Yishu and said to her, "If you still recognize me as your mother, leave that man and come back home. Let's live a good life together, just the two of us." Lu Yishu cried until her eyes were swollen, then knelt down and apologized to Teacher Du before leaving again, moving into that cold and desolate villa.
Actually, Lu Yishu is simple-minded, but she's not stupid. In her heart, she knows that whether her dad can get out quickly or not depends on Shixiu.
