"I begged him to stop, I told him it hurt, I cried until my voice was hoarse, but when I saw the look in his eyes, I knew that no matter how much I begged, it would be useless."

"When he looked at me, I felt that I wasn't his son at all, but a strange beast from outside the [ceiling wall]."

Su Bei scratched his head. "Later I heard that it was the fourth squad of [Ansu] that was wiped out outside [Tongdingbi] that day."

"That year, I was only eight years old. I really don't understand. What does the annihilation of the Fourth Squad have to do with me? It wasn't me who caused their annihilation..."

"Later, as I grew older, I gradually understood! But it didn't matter. Being picked up while sleeping and beaten up wouldn't kill me. Anyway, this kind of thing doesn't happen every day. I can get used to it."

"This situation continued until I was fifteen."

Su Bei's eyes gradually brightened: "That year, I got my own spirit servant."

"After Su Wanjun found out that my spirit servant's name was Guangshi, his attitude towards me...changed."

"He felt that I wasn't as dirty anymore and looked much nicer to him. He also wouldn't wake me up and beat me up in the middle of the night anymore."

Su Bei smiled.

The smile is full of sadness.

"The person who got beaten was my mother now."

"I begged him to hit me. After all, I'm used to it. It's just a few hits. I can handle it."

"Before I was fifteen, my world was very small. In my heart, the warmest place was my mother's arms, and my favorite thing to eat was the lollipops my mother made for me."

"That was probably the only sweet thing in my childhood."

"But, I don't understand. Every time I go to beg him, not only does he not feel pity or soften his heart for my mother, but... he beats me even harder!"

"One time, maybe my crying completely irritated him, and he said something to me that I still remember to this day."

"His expression, his eyes, the tone of his voice, I remember it all."

Su Bei trembled slightly.

"He said that if I plead for that cheap woman again, he... would kill her!"
