Chapter 164 Who can take her home?

Lin Yiyi remembers all the details of that afternoon.

Even if it's been a long time.

It hasn't faded at all.

Facing the man beside her, she seemed to be looking at him, but not him.

The two people's words overlap.

Lin Yiyi seemed to see the person in her memory. Her body stiffened slightly, and she whispered in an inaudible voice, "…Am I really here to collect debts?…But I don't want to…"

The time goes back to twelve years ago.

afternoon.

She goes home from school.

There was clearly someone at home, but no one opened the door for her.

The only things keeping her company were two gray woven bags piled up at the door.

She thought maybe her family didn't hear the knock on the door.

Then.

Every once in a while, knock a few times intermittently.

But no one opened the door for her.

So she sat on the stairs.

I recited the multiplication table over and over again.

......

She didn't know how long she had been waiting.

But it was a really long time.

It was so long that it was completely dark before anyone opened the door.

But, don't let her in.

Instead, he blocked the door and let her leave with her luggage packed in a woven bag.

But it’s dark outside.

It's time for her to go home.

She wants to eat.

......

It started when she tried to force her way past the woman in front of her and squeeze through the door.

Being stubborn, silent, and pretending not to understand are the temperaments she needs to have at all times.

The woman who stopped her from going home was her aunt.

Oh, no, she doesn't let her call her aunt.

She was just being asked to play the villain role.

As for her mother, from then on, whenever she was sober, she would hug her and cry and say sorry; when she was drunk, she would pinch and beat her and not allow her to dodge or make a sound.

She could hide, but she couldn't.

The reason is very simple.

The poor woman wanted to vent her anger, but couldn't find the man who abandoned her, so she beat and scolded the child who looked like him.

It can also vent bad feelings.

A child with his blood is an eyesore.

It used to be a symbol of love, but now it is evidence of hatred.

Wrong result.

Repeated day and night.

Several years passed like this.

Later, the woman sold her old house and started a new life. She had a new family, returned to normal, became a mother again, and was completely renewed. She asked her to call her aunt.

My silent personality began to make others dislike me, and my dull appearance only made people dislike me and earned me insults from my aunt.

As a relative of my aunt.

A poor fellow whose parents died early.

Unacknowledged existence.

That woman is always good and bad.

There is often hatred and guilt in his eyes.

actually.

She understood it all.

She is the remnant of that woman's wrong choice when she was young.

Later, it became a witness to her second chaotic life.

Her existence reminded the woman of two past events that she could not bear to recall.

so.

She began to change.

Practice smiling in front of the mirror.

Learning to say flattering words, she began to stand in the sun, smiling brightly and welcoming everyone.

Later, she started attending boarding school.

Everyone had a home to return to, but she didn't.

Later, her home became mobile. Wherever she dragged her suitcase, that was her home.

She has nothing, yet she seems to have everything.

A tactful, cheeky smile and shameless flattery.

Of course there would be lies, using them as stepping stones to try to grab everything she could get.

What she wanted.

…

Zhao Sheng looked at Lin Yiyi, whose eyes were dazed and she was lost in unknown thoughts. He shook her shoulders hard several times before she regained her consciousness.

The man was very anxious about Lin Yiyi's sudden change. He spoke in an urgent tone and gentle voice, "Yiyi, what's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?"

"Do you also think I'm a debt collector?"

Lin Yiyi was cold as ice, with empty eyes and a flat tone. She met the man's gaze and murmured.

Zhao Sheng stroked her cheek and explained softly, "No, no, I was just kidding, you are not." Even if you are, it doesn't matter.

Just now, after Lin Yiyi heard what he said, she instantly became tense and alert, and the smile in her eyes turned cold.

Zhao Sheng was afraid that his unintentional words would trigger Lin Yiyi's bad memories from the past.

He hadn't meant to say that about her.

He just wanted to tease her.

Obviously he just wanted to be closer to her.

At this moment, Lin Yiyi looked cold, distant, and defensive like he had never seen her before. Zhao Sheng was extremely panicked and reached out to hug her and have close contact with her, but Lin Yiyi simply brushed his hand away.

"Do not touch me."

The woman's voice was as gentle as ever, but it was filled with a cold rejection.

Zhao Sheng was very worried about her. He wanted to hug her and comfort her. He didn't know what to say so he could only express it through actions. After she avoided him, he chose to take the initiative again.

The man forcefully hugged Lin Yiyi, but what he got in return was not comfort, but resistance.

She struggled violently in his arms, and seemed to have touched Zhao Sheng's wound. The man relaxed for a moment in pain. Lin Yiyi pushed him away, then quickly stood up and took a few steps back.

"Don't you understand?"

Lin Yiyi glanced at the injured man, her eyes full of annoyance. He always liked to force her.

He tried his best to control his bad temper, left the room coldly after saying a few words.

If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that her uncontrolled desire to destroy would hurt him even more.

She doesn't like this.

Lin Yiyi bit her lip. The pain of broken skin and bleeding made her clear her mind. She could see the scenery outside the house clearly and felt more and more excluded and isolated.

In this strange era, there is no corner that belongs to her.

It was like this before, and it is like this now.

Walk to the sink room at the end of the corridor and turn on the faucet to fill the pool.

Lin Yiyi bent down and immersed her face directly into the water, letting the water pour into her ears.

Holding your breath to the extreme will use up all the oxygen.

The feeling of suffocation will force her to make a quick decision.

She needs to breathe.

She still has to live.

Through this method of self-abuse that leaves no trace.

Release all the bad emotions in the water.

If once is not enough, then twice, three times...

Or more.

Until your rational emotions and mood return to a peaceful state.

Roaring, crying, and destroying things willfully are privileges that only those who are raised with love and pampering can have.

She can't do this.

No one paid for her irrationality.

No one cares.

After wiping the water droplets off her face and tidying up her wet hair, Lin Yiyi walked back, only to find that the man was not at home when she returned to the room.

There was no one inside or outside the room, but the door was open.

The man should be in a hurry to go out and find her.

Thinking of his injuries.

Lin Yiyi was about to go find Zhao Sheng, but just as she got downstairs, she bumped into a man with a cane and an anxious look on his face.

"Where have you been?"

Zhao Sheng didn't dare hug her this time, for fear that she would get angry and leave. He asked her anxiously, panting.

He was frightened by Lin Yiyi's back as she left home just now.

Unable to find her, Zhao Sheng felt like he was going crazy.

Without her, he would surely go mad.

After Lin Yiyi pushed him away, he was stunned for a moment and slowed down for a while. In addition, he was not able to move easily, so he failed to grab her in time.

He chased downstairs and stumbled all the way to the main gate, where he asked the gatekeeper if he knew whether he had seen Lin Yiyi leave the compound.

Zhao Shengcai breathed a sigh of relief, at least he didn't leave.

Lin Yiyi is still in the family compound, and even in the family building.

He wants to go back and look for it again.

Go back quickly.

Lin Yiyi saw the man's miserable state, with his clothes stained with dust at his knees. She knew that he must have fallen down. She felt a little sorry for him, so she smiled softly and apologized directly and gently in a soft voice, "I'm sorry for making you anxious. Let's go home."

She left just to calm down temporarily and didn't want to vent her bad emotions on him.

She would never say anything hurtful.

It still hurt him in the end.

The woman walked closer to the man.

Reach out to Zhao Sheng...

Take the initiative to reconcile with him.

Zhao Sheng's voice was gentle and he only said "hmm" softly.

He took her hand and hugged her gently.

Seeing her familiar sweet smile, the man's tightly pursed thin lips also showed a smile, and his Lin Yiyi was back.

She just wanted to go home with him.
