Chapter 5: A Disgraceful Life Story

Lin Du held the car and slowed it down for a long time. He rubbed his swollen temples and felt a severe pain in his chest.

After dragging his heavy body back home, he placed the rice he bought in front of his sister Lin Yue: "You must be hungry, eat quickly."

"Why do you look so bad?" Lin Yue asked worriedly.

Lin Du touched his face and smiled: "Maybe I'm a little tired, eat quickly, I'm going to wash up and go to bed."

“Brother, why don’t we just give up on treatment?” Lin Yue lowered his eyes.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Du frowned.

Lin Yue didn't look up, tears blurring her vision: "Look at how thin you have become?"

Lin Du was startled, his heart aching: "Brother is fine, just a little tired, be obedient and eat quickly."

Looking at Lin Du's tired back, Lin Yue felt very distressed.

He was only four years older than herself, but she had to shoulder all the burdens.

Turning on the shower, Lin Du let the warm water hit his body.

He raised his head, but the water blocked his air. He opened his mouth but still couldn't breathe in fresh air.

The momentary feeling of suffocation made him urgently turn off the shower. His chest felt stuffy, and he stood against the wall for a long time before he regained some consciousness.

I curled up in bed, feeling extremely sleepy but unable to fall asleep, tossing and turning.

Although life was hard at first, there was still hope.

But today, because of his own mistake, the one million debt he brought out was really about to crush Lin Du.

One million, he doesn’t know if he can earn one million in his lifetime.

I feel like if one million bills were put together, it would be longer than his life.

In fact, these are not the point. The point is that you owe money to Gu Penshi.

Since they parted, he never thought that he would see Gu Xichi again, but now that he has really met her and they are in a relationship, he doesn't know what changes will happen in the future.

Fortunately, Gu Jinchi didn't remember him, otherwise he really didn't know how to face him.

Hugging himself tightly, Lin Du stared blankly at one place with a blank look in his eyes.

His thoughts were like a projector, constantly repeating the past that he least wanted to recall.

27 years ago, Lin Du was born into a poor family.

My father was an alcoholic who indulged in drinking, whoring and gambling. My mother spent her days hanging out in all kinds of chaotic places.

In the eyes of others, they are just a pair of bad people and no one takes them seriously.

But even in this situation, they still gave birth to Lin Du.

They had been looking forward to Lin Du's birth, and hoped that he would reform and live a good life after his birth. However, when the doctor told them that Lin Du was hermaphroditic, they were completely desperate.

Faced with the high cost of surgery, they decided to take Lin Du home and leave his life to fate.

Lin Du had a poor life, but he was exceptionally tough and managed to survive under such harsh conditions.

His parents did not tell him about Lin Du's physical condition. In their minds, Lin Du was an alien and they hated him very much.

Lin Du had heard them curse him many times, hoping that he would die soon.

They would blame all the misfortunes in life on Lin Du, and would beat and kick Lin Du if they were dissatisfied.

He was often locked in a dark room alone, without food or water.

There were several times when Lin Du almost starved to death in there. If his neighbors had not found him, he might have died long ago.

Gradually he became afraid of enclosed spaces, and every time he was locked up, he would want to escape like crazy.

He was still young at that time and thought that his parents beat and scolded him because they were unhappy after a quarrel, so the little boy would often comfort himself.

Life at home did not get better with Lin Du's arrival, and his father and mother's bad behavior remained the same.

When Lin Du was four years old, his mother became pregnant.

The father insisted that the child was not his, and he would beat the mother when he was drunk.

Lin Du would always stand in front of his mother and beg his father.

Every time she saw her father getting drunk, her mother would pull Lin Du in front of her, and after her father finished beating her, she would push him away with disgust.

When my mother gave birth to a younger sister, she had a difficult delivery and suffered severe bleeding.

The father did not show up. The mother took the young Lin Du and told him in an imperative tone to take good care of his sister, and then passed away.

From beginning to end, she didn't leave any words for Lin Du.

Maybe in her heart, Lin Du was a stain in her life and she hated him.

My younger sister Lin Yue is equally unfortunate, she was born with heart disease. She is also penniless and can only endure the hardship.

My father later married a woman named Shen Rong, who moved into the house with her son in a legitimate manner.

Shen Rong was a smart and capable woman. She managed the household very well and was very strict in disciplining her father.

My father, who was addicted to alcohol and had a lazy lifestyle, could not accept the constraints imposed on him by others and would get himself drunk every time.

He didn't dare to hit Shen Rong and the son she brought with her. Lin Yuexiao had a heart disease and he didn't dare to hit her either, for fear of hurting her and needing to spend money on treatment.

Therefore, Lin Du became his only target for venting.

He was often beaten half to death and unconscious.

Several times, he was sent to the hospital only after his neighbors called the police.

But before the old wounds healed, new wounds arose.

Over time, Lin Du became taciturn and cowardly.

Even when faced with bullying, he always chooses to endure it.

He knew that he had no one to back him up, and that fighting back would only lead to greater torture.

Their father died in a car accident the second year after marrying Shen Rong. In order to get all the compensation, Shen Rong had no choice but to bring them along with him.

It's clearly my own home, but I always feel like I'm living under someone else's roof.

Shen Rong's son Shen Ke often bullies Lin Du. Not only does he bully him at home, he also encourages others to bully him.

In their eyes, Lin Du is a monster.

He is always silent and always keeps to himself.

Even if he was beaten to the point of paralysis, he would not beg for mercy but would just grit his teeth and persevere.

Asking for mercy would only fuel their excitement.

Although life is hard, we still have to keep going.

But it is true that misfortune favors the unfortunate.

Lin Du once wondered how hard life could get, until he met Gu Linchi.

He was assigned to review the lessons for Gu Yanchi and suffered all kinds of humiliation from him, but he had no choice but to endure it because only in this way could Shen Rong get a high reward.

Only in this way would she not kick herself and her sister out of the house.

Over time, after getting to know each other, he found that Gu Yanchi was not as fierce as he looked.

He gave me a lot of warmth, cared for me, looked after me, and helped me out...

In fact, Gu Jinchi is a very sensitive person at heart, but he himself is unwilling to admit it and always appears in front of others with an attitude of superiority.

In short, the warmth that I have never felt before was given by Gu Jinchi.

He was like a mouse in a gutter, snooping into Gu's boring life, wishing desperately to grasp the warmth he was giving to himself.

In fact, Gu Xinchi did just that.

He also began to rely on Lin Du, wanting to keep him by his side forever.

Lin Du, who had nothing, gave Gu Yanchi only his true heart.

Therefore, the two young boys, driven by their immature rationality, made an irreparable mistake.

This mistake cost Lin Du a heavy price.
