As night fell, Lin Zhaodi waited quietly in her room.
In her arms was a small knife. Feeling the new pain on her body, Lin Zhaodi never felt that she could escape. Her miserable life should have ended long ago.
But why did she appear? Lin Zhaodi thought of the silver-haired girl who had suddenly appeared on the rooftop and given her a glimmer of hope.
It doesn't matter anymore. I'm the kind of person who doesn't need to drag others down with me.
The door was rudely pushed open, and to Lin Zhaodi's surprise, it wasn't just the drunken old bachelor who entered, but also other people.
"I told you to drink less. Look, this makes the wedding night fun pointless." Someone's words immediately carried a tone that Lin Zhaodi found repulsive.
Disgusting, nauseating, these people are so disgusting.
"Who cares what he does? The bride is here, we can still have a wedding night prank..." someone else chimed in, leaving the old bachelor to die drunk on the cold ground, and approached Lin Zhaodi with lustful intent.
Ah... Is my terrible life going to end up just as bad?
Having read extensively, Lin Zhaodi understood her current powerlessness even more. As a scarred girl, even with a small knife, she posed no threat to those people.
"Hey, quick, just like before, check if the bride has any little trinkets on her, so she doesn't think about suicide."
Isn't this the first time they've done this? Lin Zhaodi watched them skillfully discuss how to handle her situation, and based on what she had heard in the village these past few days, she knew she was definitely not the first.
I really hope I'm the last one.
If you can't save me, please save the people after me. In her final moments, Lin Zhaodi recalled the silver-haired witch's appearance once more; she was so radiant and beautiful, completely unlike herself, a dark and miserable person.
Let me leave this world where the light never belonged to me.
Lin Zhaodi took out a knife, and the crowd was not afraid at all; instead, they became excited.
"I knew it, this little wench must have prepared one of these little gadgets too." The person who spoke first spoke again, the nauseating smell of alcohol wafting over, but Lin Zhaodi was too tired to even feel nauseous.
Lin Zhaodi knew she couldn't hurt that many people. She had thought that before she died, she could take away the old bachelor who also had scars on her body, which would be considered doing a service to the people. But now she could only die alone like the villain in a bad drama.
As Lin Zhaodi raised the knife to stab her own throat, one of the quick-thinking people grabbed her hand. The pain in her wrist made her involuntarily give up her suicide attempt. Her jaw was roughly pinched, and she couldn't even bite her tongue.
"Luckily, I have experience."
Was I a very bad person in my past life? Why is my life punishing me like this?
Close your eyes and wait for the demon to invade.
But the pain she had imagined didn't come. Instead, she felt a sense of ease and warmth in her body, which made Lin Zhaodi feel alive for the first time.
"Mei'er, stop! Don't be impulsive! I've called your uncle, this is not something we should be dealing with!"
"Miss, don't worry, Mei'er knows what she's doing. She guarantees they'll be alive to see Lord Li."
"Your words are completely unbelievable! You're probably planning to just stay alive until they see their uncle, then die immediately. You'll only cause trouble for everyone!"
"They all attacked the young lady; it's already a blessing that they died so easily."
"I told you, don't make jokes like that! It'll make people think I'm some kind of terrorist!"
That voice, the only one since birth, that brought me hope on countless nights when I wanted to die, yet which then vanished, reappeared.
That haunting figure, one hand resting on her body, using its warmth to heal her wounds; the other hand controlling the girl who had picked up the small knife she had dropped, intending to stab the group of people kneeling on the ground.
"Why...why..." Lin Zhaodi looked at Bai Yueyue, the stagnant water in her eyes was forcefully stirred into waves.
"Shouldn't you abandon me again?"
Lin Zhaodi's words made Bai Yueyue temporarily give up controlling Hu Meier. Then, under Hu Meier's jealous and sad gaze, Bai Yueyue carefully hugged Lin Zhaodi and let her head rest in her arms.
"I'm sorry, but not this time. This time I will take full responsibility for you and protect you." Bai Yueyue whispered in Lin Zhaodi's ear in a seductive voice like a devil.
Someone like me doesn't deserve to be treated gently at all.
She wanted to push Bai Yueyue away, but this time Bai Yueyue was determined and hugged Lin Zhaodi with even more force.
"I swear by my name that I will protect you until you no longer need me."
Even someone like me, would you still protect me? Lin Zhaodi really wanted to ask this question, but she was afraid that all of this was just a temporary illusion and would shatter because of her words.
"Trust me, okay? This time I won't abandon you."
"Mmm..." Lin Zhaodi responded softly to Bai Yueyue. Even if it was all an illusion, she would still greedily enjoy it.
"Please trust Miss. Although she sometimes causes trouble, she always keeps her promises." Although she was very unhappy and wanted to take Lin Zhaodi's place, since it was Bai Yueyue's wish, Hu Meier would naturally do her best to help Bai Yueyue.
"Mei'er, I won't cause any trouble!" Bai Yueyue looked at Hu Mei'er with a hint of temper. How could she possibly be the kind of person who caused trouble?
