5.0 earthquake

  I was thrown into the small white building by the tyrant, and he disappeared for over a decade. As time passed, I could live a carefree life in the small white building, eating and playing, sleeping when tired. But one thing shocked me out of my playful state.

  On April 14, 2010 at 7:49 am, two earthquakes occurred in Yushu County, Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, with the highest magnitude of 7.1. At that time, I was still lying in bed sleeping, having watched a TV series from a certain country until three o'clock last night, and the content was nothing more than a rich and handsome man falling in love with a kind-hearted ordinary girl.

  Chen Sang's phone call woke me up from my dream, telling me that another earthquake had occurred. My head was not very clear, thinking that Shenzhen had an earthquake, I was so scared that I jumped out of bed and asked her anxiously, what earthquake, is Shenzhen going to have an earthquake?

  Chen Sang said that there was an earthquake in Yushu, and at that time I didn't even know where Yushu was or which province it belonged to. Chen Sang told me that Yushu is in Qinghai Province. She only found out this morning when she saw the news on her phone.

  I took a deep breath and let out a long sigh, relieved that the earthquake wasn't in Shenzhen. I'm extremely afraid of earthquakes, and Chen Sang is especially sensitive. During the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, Chen Sang and I were both in Sichuan. At that time, Chen Sang's grandfather had passed away, and she went back with her mother to mourn. I was just recovering from being raped, my spirit was terrible, and every day felt like a struggle between life and death. Chen Sang took me out to clear my mind.

  I think only Chen Sang this pervert would take people who are mentally injured to a funeral home to relax, actually I know she doesn't trust me, that's why she brought me by her side.

  When the Wenchuan earthquake occurred, we clearly felt the vibration of the ground, and the houses were shaking. Soon someone told us that an earthquake had occurred, but at first everyone didn't take it seriously. My understanding of earthquakes was only vague knowledge from books, and I didn't understand what fear and horror meant. It wasn't until we heard news that many people had died on the other side, and saw reports on TV, that we realized what an earthquake was and how severe it was.

  The place where we are is not far from Wenchuan, and the government encourages local people to go to the disaster area for rescue. Neither Chen Sang nor I am that kind of enthusiastic and willing to help, but in that atmosphere, we both went, and have to admit that when faced with a major disaster, our country's people do have the ability to unite as one.

  I witnessed what hell on earth looks like in Wenchuan, with ruins everywhere. Under the collapsed buildings, you could easily find a dead body by just flipping through the debris. You see people who are determined to survive at all costs, even if it means losing their limbs. Then you will understand how lucky it is to be alive and that survival is the most important thing.

  Chen Sang, who had always been indifferent, looked at the rows of corpses laid out before her, and her eyes turned red, enough to show how shocking the scene was.

  I'm afraid of death and want to survive mainly because of the feelings I had after the earthquake.

  I asked Chen Sang about the earthquake, she said that she didn't know much either, maybe it will take some time to get more detailed news. I got up and turned on the TV, the report on the news only had a simple description, looks like we really have to wait for a while to understand the situation.

  It's ironic, isn't it? We girls also care about the big affairs of these countries. Having witnessed those cruel scenes with our own eyes, people can't help but be moved. After all, our blood isn't cold, and we still have feelings.

  At that time, everyone was discussing earthquakes, the news on TV was about earthquakes, and the radio was also about earthquakes. Some so-called experts were posting authoritative comments online, predicting areas where future earthquakes would occur, making people nervous.

  A week after the earthquake, Ba Wang returned. I was watching the news broadcast, which reported the latest death toll and number of injured people. I looked up to see Ba Wang entering from the front door, looking disheveled with stubble on his chin and wrinkled clothes. He had a dusty and exhausted look, and it was unclear where he had come from.

  The Overlord glanced at the numbers on the screen in the hall and sneered, even the data is fake, what else is not fake?

  I suddenly looked up at him, the meaning of his words, I'm not a fool, naturally understood. He ignored me and sat down on the sofa next to me, the news was about a celebrity donation, Ba Wang let out a light snort, furrowed his brow, and changed the channel.

  He didn't want to see the earthquake report, but all TV channels were broadcasting news. The tyrant thought it was meaningless and put down the remote control, turning off the TV. He leaned his head on the sofa, closing his eyes as if sleeping. His appearance looked particularly tired. Can't figure out what he did. When he came in, he didn't even take off his leather shoes, which were originally shiny but now covered with a layer of dust.

  He won't be running back from Yushu, will he? I don't think the Overlord is that enthusiastic a person. In my impression, he's a cold and arrogant guy.

  I sat beside him, not knowing what to do. After a moment, he suddenly spoke up and told me to go pour the bath water. His voice wasn't its usual arrogant tone. I felt that something was off about the Overlord, and I couldn't find any of his usual haughty demeanor anywhere. He had a heavy, serious air about him. If it weren't for the fact that he had the same face, I would have thought it wasn't the Overlord at all.

  I don't want to guess too much, after all, the relationship between me and Ba Wang is not suitable for in-depth understanding. I withdraw my curious thoughts and obediently go upstairs.

  It wasn't long before the Overlord entered the bathroom. After undressing, he lay in the bathtub with his eyes closed and didn't say a word. I had never seen the Overlord's expression so serious, his furrowed eyebrows hadn't relaxed since entering the door, what was he thinking about?! It was very deep, as if he was worried about national affairs.

  After being together for several months, although I don't know much about the Overlord, I should have some understanding of him! Perhaps it's only when he encounters something particularly troublesome that he reveals such an expression. I tactfully remain silent and quietly attend to him from the side.

  He seemed to remember something and suddenly stood up. I was holding a towel to help him wipe his body, but he pushed my hand away and said no need. He walked out of the bathroom, picked up his phone and made a call. I don't know what the other person said, but he shouted into the phone, saying they swallowed so much money, now in the face of disaster, they are shrinking their heads like turtles. Even if they were real turtles, you would pry open their shells and make them spit out the money.

  He continued, "Don't tell me that those sons of bitches can't move for the time being. If they even dare to embezzle money for saving lives and grab food for saving lives with their hands and feet, what use are these people?"

  The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be persuading him, but he was obviously extremely angry. He said, "You want me to calm down? Go take a look at the people buried under the rubble, and you'll understand that there's no saving anyone in this circle." He slammed the phone to the ground with a loud crack.

  I was so scared that I jumped up and stood at the edge of the bathroom, not daring to make a sound or speak. It seemed like I had heard something I shouldn't know, and I felt as if there was a knife hanging over my neck, ready to take my life at any moment.

  The Overlord let out a long sigh, raised his hand to grasp his hair, earlier he didn't even wipe it and ran out, water droplets were falling down along the strands of hair!

  According to my personality, I should have slipped away quietly. I don't understand where I got the courage from, and actually took a towel out of the bathroom and handed it to Ba Wang.

  He lifted his head and looked at me, somewhat perplexed. I told him that his hair was not dry and it was easy to catch a cold. He took the towel and covered his own head, wiping it carelessly. I felt like I was standing beside him unnecessarily. I asked if he wanted me to call the middle-aged woman to prepare lunch, as I really didn't fit in by his side.

  It's a bit early to have lunch at ten o'clock, but I can see that he looks tired and can only do so much. Ba Wang shook his head and told me that he had already eaten on the plane. He continued to wipe his hair, while I was still standing beside him. We didn't speak or communicate, it was a bit awkward, after all we weren't very familiar with each other. But since Ba Wang didn't say anything, I didn't know what to do either.

  His hair was extremely short and didn't take long to dry, it was already 70-80% dry. He lifted the quilt and lay down inside, I hung up the towel he had casually thrown aside, originally planning to go downstairs. He suddenly called out to me, saying "You come sleep a bit too!"

  I got up at nine o'clock and wasn't sleepy at all. I hesitated for a moment, then put down the door handle, turned around and walked to the bedside and lay back in bed. He and I each occupied one side, with enough space in between for someone to lie down. He didn't reach out to pull me into his arms, he told me to wake him up two hours later, then ordered me to sleep and closed his eyes to fall asleep himself. It was clear that he hadn't rested for a long time, he almost fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

  I don't understand why he wants me to get on the bed with him, doesn't he dislike me? In fact, I can tell that the tyrant usually sleeps alone, otherwise his sleeping posture wouldn't be so ugly. Who can stand sleeping in the same bed as him, and getting kicked off the bed when he's slightly unhappy?

  I remained still, my body stiff as I lay there, afraid of waking the tyrant. My head slightly turned, and I saw the tyrant's face; indeed, his eye sockets had a dark blue-black eye circle. I thought he looked exceptionally handsome in his quiet state.

  This thought emerged, and my heart suddenly thudded. I bit my lower lip tightly and got up quietly. I understand myself, and I'm afraid that my own heart has been moved by the other side of the tyrant. I clearly know what it's like when the tyrant opens his eyes, but my heart has become sour and soft.

  Women! Really can't stay by a man's side for too long, especially if he's not good-looking and has money and power. A certain writer said it right, men conquer women through the lower part of their body. Ordinary people hearing this would think it's vulgar, but it's indeed the truth. I occasionally hear sisters in my circle talk about the pleasure men bring them, especially those who give themselves a high climax. They say women will never forget the first man to give them an orgasm and the man who gives them a high climax.

  I didn't dare to stay any longer, so I quickly walked out of the bedroom and away from Ba Wang. I'm not Lu Yishu, who would foolishly fall in love with someone and make a man her life's dependence. Ba Wang is not Shi Xiu, he won't fall in love with women, or to put it more accurately, he won't fall in love with a specific woman.

  From what Ba Wang said just now, I know that the road he wants to take is very long, and the things he wants may not be few. However, women are absolutely not his pursuit, nor the mountain peak he wants to conquer.

  I turned on the TV, and it was still playing news reports, but my mind was no longer on the screen. I couldn't even figure out how my heart had suddenly gone numb. A current of electricity spread from my chest to my entire body, yet I knew my identity more clearly than ever before. In the past, I was a young lady and he was a guest; now he was the master and I was his mistress.
