After returning to the room, Mu Qiu soaked himself in the warm bathtub, but he could not feel the temperature of the hot water.
Her heart was cold.
Staring at the clear water in the bathtub, Mu Qiu thought of dying for a moment.
If she died, they wouldn't have to worry anymore. After all, they would have a healthy child soon, and even without her, they wouldn't be alone when they got old...
Mu Qiu softened her body and let it slide into the bottom of the bathtub. Gradually, the warm water engulfed her neck, mouth, and nose.
She was wrapped in water, her mouth filled with water, and the warm water choked into her lungs, which was very uncomfortable. When death really approached, when her body's endurance was close to the limit, Mu Qiu suddenly felt fear.
Crash——
Mu Qiu suddenly crawled out of the bathtub, leaned over the edge of the bathtub and kept coughing, his eyes turned red from coughing.
“Knock knock—”
"Qiu Qiu'er, is it convenient for dad to come in?" Mu Mian's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
Mu Qiu panicked when she heard the noise. "Cough, cough!" She couldn't help coughing again.
But the bathroom was well soundproofed, and Mu Mian, who was standing outside the room, did not hear Mu Qiu's cough.
Mu Mian waited a long time for Mu Qiu to reply, and he felt uneasy. "Mu Qiu, what are you doing? Why aren't you talking?" Because Mu Qiu had committed suicide by slitting his wrists once before, Mu Mian was already wary and worried that Mu Qiu might become so depressed that he would commit suicide.
The deafening knock on the door startled Mu Qiu so much that she quickly stood up from the bathtub. She quickly put on her bathrobe, held her aching lungs, and shouted towards the door, "Dad, wait a minute, I'm taking a shower."
Mu Mian heard it and stopped knocking on the door.
After standing at the door and waiting for three or four minutes, the door in front of Mu Mian was finally opened from the inside.
He glanced down and took in Mu Qiu's miserable appearance. Mu Qiu's hair was wet, and the water stains on his face had obviously been wiped with a towel, but they were not yet completely dry.
Her eyes seemed to have been washed by the cleanest and clearest water. They were clear and bright at first glance, like an angel fallen to earth.
"Have you finished washing?" Mu Mian stared at Mu Qiu's wet hair with a deep look in his eyes.
Mu Qiu didn't dare to look his father in the eye, afraid that he would see through his lie. "Yes, I washed my hair."
Mu Mian laughed and said, "You rarely wash your hair at night." Mu Qiu usually washed his hair early in the morning and then styled it.
Mu Qiu said, "I went to eat barbecue with my sister tonight. I smelled of meat and couldn't sleep without washing my hair."
Mu Mian seemed to believe her and didn't ask any further questions. He stepped into the room and closed the door. Mu Qiu stared at the closed door, feeling a little uneasy. Did his father notice something?
"Wipe your hair." Mu Mian threw a towel on Mu Qiu's head.
Having nearly committed suicide just now, Mu Qiu was filled with guilt and uneasiness. She was too ashamed to face Mu Mian. She just took the towel and gently rubbed her wet hair.
Staring at his daughter's swaying figure, Mu Mian's eyes were painful. He knew that Mu Qiu was lying, and he also guessed what Mu Qiu had done in the bathroom just now. He almost lost his daughter again, and Mu Mian felt extremely uncomfortable.
Thinking about what he had learned today, he became even more determined to buy Mu Qiu a healthy heart. "Mu Qiu, do you know about the dark web?" Mu Mian suddenly asked Mu Qiu.
As soon as the word "Dark Web" came to light, the room suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The father and daughter exchanged a glance. Mu Mian's eyes were gloomy, as if he was plotting something serious that he couldn't tell anyone. Mu Qiu's pupils trembled slightly, and a sense of unease crept into her heart. "Dad, why are you asking that?"
The so-called dark web refers to illegal websites where illicit transactions take place. It is deep and pervasive, stretching across every corner of the internet, like the unfathomable ocean hidden beneath an iceberg.
Anyone who has dealt with the dark web has crossed the moral bottom line.
"Dad, please don't do anything illegal." Mu Qiu didn't know what Mu Mian wanted to do, but Mu Mian's current state made her feel uneasy.
Mu Mian licked his lips. He didn't dare look Mu Qiu in the eye. Instead, he looked at the floor beneath him and said in a low voice, "You may not know that in our country, more than one million people need organ transplants every year. However, only a very small number of people are willing to donate their organs after death. What do you think should be done for those who need organs to save their lives?"
Mu Qiu is no longer a child. She is twenty years old and naturally knows that behind the beautiful society there are also darkness and dirty and terrible deals.
She guessed what Mu Mian was going to do, and her whole body swayed, her legs going weak. "Dad, that's wrong, it's against the law. If anyone finds out, you'll go to jail!"
Mu Qiu's legs softened and she knelt on the ground. Her knees scraped against the floor as she moved in front of Mu Mian.
Kneeling on the ground, Mu Qiu looked at Mu Mian with tears in her eyes. "Dad!" Hot tears slid down Mu Qiu's small and delicate face. She grasped Mu Mian's cold hand, her heart aching.
She begged Mu Mian: "Dad, please don't do that. I'm not worthy of you doing that!"
Mu Mian's eyes also turned red. He held Mu Qiu's cheek, looking at his daughter's young and beautiful face, and his heart ached. "Qiu Qiu, you are your father and mother's baby. You are only twenty years old, and your life has just entered a period of true glory. Daddy can't bear to see you die!"
"You are my baby, you are worth everything I can do for you!" For her, Mu Mian can become a murderer and do something illegal.
He just wants Mu Qiu to be alive!
Hearing this, Mu Qiu shook his head wildly, "No, no! I don't want you to do this for me, Dad. I would rather die than have you commit a crime for me!"
"Mu Qiu, listen to me. Dad will be fine. I've checked. If this matter is reported, I will only have to go to jail for a few years. If a few years in jail can save your life, then I think it's worth it!"
"Besides, Dad is still young. He'll be healthy after a few years in prison." Wiping away Mu Qiu's tears with his fingertips, Mu Mian kissed his daughter's head. His throat rolled and his voice choked with sobs, "As long as you can survive, everything is worth it."
Hearing that if he did that, Mu Mian would only have to serve a few years in jail, Mu Qiu's tough heart suddenly collapsed.
She knew in her heart that she should persuade Mu Mian not to make the same mistake again, but the desire to live was so strong. Who wants to die? Mu Qiu was only twenty years old. She had just met someone she loved, and she wanted to get married and have a child with the one she loved!
Mu Qiu's heart was moved.
She gently hugged Mu Mian's waist and apologized crying: "Dad, I hurt you. It's Qiu Tianer who is useless! It's my daughter who is unfilial..."
"You're not wrong, Qiu Tian, you're not wrong!" Mu Mian wiped away his tears and pushed Mu Qiu away. He stood up, took a deep breath, and after calming down his excitement, he took a step forward to leave Mu Qiu's room.
