Chapter 116 Draft (1)
It was late at night.
In the desolate villa, the man slumped against the foot of the bed, using the moonlight from the window to look through his handwritten draft.
Tears fell onto Xiujuan's neat handwriting, blurring the ink into undulating black lines.
【
A girl who is self-disciplined and follows the rules of propriety, the only thing she will do in her life without considering the consequences is to allow herself to fall in love with him.
Therefore, she often wondered whether she was lucky or unlucky.
God took away her parents, but gave her another home.
When she first met that silly boy, she was wearing a princess dress and was carried to the Shen family home by her father. Her father said he had official business to attend to, and that the Shen family home would be her second home from now on.
"Be good, listen to your godparents, and don't cause them any trouble. Next time you have a holiday, Dad will take you to the amusement park."
On her first night at the Shen family's house, she felt a little nervous and reserved, even though it wasn't her first time there.
That brat always liked to get close to her, poke her cheeks, pinch her little hands, and say when her godparents weren't around, "Zhenzhen, my wife, I'll marry you someday."
Back then, when her godmother heard this, she would laugh from ear to ear, saying, "You want to marry Zhenzhen? Then you'd better stop being naughty and study hard. Zhenzhen is very smart, or she might not even like you."
Then, in the second month, the student who was at the bottom of the class got first place in the grade.
I don't know which TV series he learned it from, but while she was sleeping, he put a Barbie plastic ring he bought from a stationery store on her finger, kissed her on the forehead, and said, "Zhenzhen, my wife, I will definitely be successful in the future. Wait for me to earn money to support you."
As a result, her godfather caught her red-handed, grabbed her by the back of the neck, dragged her out, and gave her a good beating.
At that time, my godmother said she was a lucky star, and that she was raising her troublesome son better and better.
At the time, she also thought so.
Her father took her to the amusement park once, but never a second time. Everyone said he gloriously sacrificed his life on the battlefield, dying for his country, and was a great hero.
At that time, she knew what a hero was, but she didn't know what death was.
From childhood to adulthood, everyone praised her beauty, inheriting it from her mother who died young; she was a natural beauty.
But she didn't want this appearance.
She couldn't remember when it started, but there were always boys around her looking at her with those kinds of eyes—boys her age, boys a little older, or even older.
They said her parents were dead and she was being fostered by someone else. As long as she didn't make a big fuss, it was okay to bully her a little.
She couldn't cause trouble for her godparents or put them in a difficult position, so she could only hide in the treehouse her godfather had built and cry secretly when no one was around.
Then, the silly boy caught him...
The next day, the group of boys were beaten up by the self-proclaimed "F4 of the Capital" by Si Wei.
In the office, the godparents bowed and apologized to a group of parents, while the silly boy with injuries on his face secretly winked at her.
That night, he whispered in her ear as she slept, squeezed her hand and said, "Zhenzhen, don't be afraid. If anyone dares to bully you again, I'll beat them to a pulp."
What the silly boy didn't know was that she wasn't afraid of being bullied; she was just afraid of causing trouble for the family.
Zheng Yaozong was a scoundrel since he was a child. All the girls in school were afraid of him, but his family was very powerful, so the teachers and principal always turned a blind eye.
He had bullied and teased her more than once or twice.
That day, she went to play with Manman, but he ran into her and dragged her into a deserted forest.
He tore her clothes, touched her face, neck, and legs. She didn't know what he was doing, but she knew it was bullying and harm.
But she couldn't resist, which only excited him more and more. She accidentally kicked him in the groin, and the pain made Zheng Yaozong even more frenzied.
It was that silly kid who suddenly appeared and knocked the person down with one punch.
He was ten years old then, and perhaps he understood more than she did, so when he saw her lying there helplessly with her clothes torn and tears streaming down her face, his eyes were filled with anger.
He took off his own clothes and covered her with them, then hugged her tightly, gently rubbing her sweet little head. "It's okay, Zhenzhen, don't be afraid, he'll die soon."
Once he recovered, Zheng Yaozong picked up a stone and smashed it over his head. The blood dripped onto her hand, which frightened her so much that she immediately got up to protect him.
He acted as if nothing had happened, took off his hat and put it on her head, pulled the brim down, and rubbed her face. "Don't look, just wait here for me."
But she still watched, and saw him turn bloodthirsty and ruthless in the blink of an eye. He rushed over and knocked the man to the ground with a few punches.
He straddled Zheng Yaozong, punching him relentlessly and brutally until the man was unrecognizable, powerless to resist, spitting blood until he finally lost consciousness.
That was the first time she had seen this side of him, and she realized that this was the real Shen Jingsi.
Her godmother said she was a lucky star, and she originally thought so too.
Until that day, when the Zheng family came to demand an explanation, the godmother was slapped in the chaos. She felt so guilty and heartbroken, but her godmother, who had always protected her, didn't feel the same way.
After chasing the person away, I composed myself and said to her, who was hiding in her room wiping away tears, "Baby, it's okay, it doesn't hurt at all. When your godfather comes back, he will avenge your godmother."
The godfather returned, and Zheng's mother apologized. However, Shen Jingsi was also whipped dozens of times by his godfather, who also threatened to send him abroad and never allow him to return.
She begged and cried, but it was no use. So she climbed to the rooftop and shouted out everything Zheng Yaozong had done.
But it was no use; nobody believed her. Zheng's mother said that she was young and had impure thoughts, and that she had tried to seduce someone but instead smeared them.
Shen Jingsi was still sent away. On the day he left, he even had a high fever. He couldn't see her eyes, which were crying so hard that she could barely see the road, or her body, which was so thin that she felt like vomiting after eating a little food.
During those five years, she secretly used the money she earned from publishing novels to go to America to see him several times, without her family's knowledge.
He seems to have changed a bit; he's taller, more handsome, and the center of attention wherever he goes.
Yet it seems he hasn't changed, because whenever he's in front of her, he's always that sunny, pure, slightly cunning but not shrewd silly boy.
But she changed, becoming quieter and more composed. She would no longer let him hold her hand or hug her, and only dared to let him kiss her when she was "sleeping".
So she said:
"She had loved the boy who protected and loved her for over a decade, but only dared to indulge her longing under the guise of pretending to sleep, because she knew she was not the best candidate for the Shen family's daughter-in-law."
Years later, he returned. Standing at over 1.8 meters tall, he was towering and imposing among his peers, with even harder fists and sharper claws.
Everyone knows that the orphan girl of the Lu family is the apple of the eye of the Shen family's heir. Everyone covets her, but no one dares to touch her anymore, because Zheng Yaozong, who had one of his testicles removed and almost died, is the best precedent.
Siwei said that if you can't find Shen Jingsi, go find Lu Zhenyu. Within a radius of ten meters from her, you'll find traces of sycophants.
Everyone knows that Shen Jingsi likes Lu Zhenyu, but no one knows that...
"She lived in that cozy home for 20 years, and no one knew she was allergic to seafood; even she herself had almost forgotten. Who was it that liked salt-baked shrimp? It wasn't her, it was him, but she liked him."
She truly accepted the statement that "Lu Zhenyu is a cursed lone star" when she was 23 years old.
