"No, I haven't squeezed enough."
Chen Ya grabbed her hand and squeezed it like a kitten kneading milk. Liu Ruyan gritted her teeth and closed her eyes.
Shame, resentment, grievance, and about a hundred other emotions mixed together like rivers converging into the sea, making her feel that the impact of this behavior was no more than what a decent woman had to endure when encountering horse bandits on the road.
The reason for all this is that she doesn't hate being bullied like this at all.
I feel quite comfortable.
Her long-standing education as a lady did not allow her to show joy and happiness in such a situation, so she was in so much pain.
The only way I could console myself in this situation was that I was too honest, and that’s why he took advantage of me without any resistance.
It's definitely not for any other reason.
"alright."
Chen Ya, like a scumbag who abandoned his wife after having fun with her, shook off her hand and left. Liu Ruyan opened her eyes angrily, but found that the marks on her hands disappeared like snow melting in water.
"Eh? My hand doesn't hurt anymore."
Liu Ruyan followed her to the kitchen, where Chen Ya was putting vegetables into the refrigerator.
She raised her palm toward the window, and the light shone through her fingers, which were as white as scallion roots, casting a halo on the edges of her palm.
"What did you do?" she asked.
"This is the Chen family's unique craft, please do not inquire about it." Chen Ya replied.
He placed a few tomatoes, potatoes, and green peppers on the countertop and pointed a finger.
"Next, I'll teach you how to prepare the food. Watch carefully, I'll only demonstrate it once."
After saying that, the sharp light of the knife flashed, like a sharp blade that could cut through the throat with one blow. The knife struck the chopping board in bits and pieces, like horse hooves and drum beats. In a blink of an eye, the vegetables were neatly sliced and arranged on the plate, and even arranged in a flowery pattern.
Liu Ruyan opened her mouth wide, her jaw unable to close for a long time:
“I, I didn’t see…”
"Then we'll study in the afternoon."
Chen Ya washed his hands, took an apple, ran to the sofa, sat down, and turned on the TV.
Liu Ruyan followed slowly behind him, sat down two body lengths away from him, and looked at him secretly.
The place where he sat was exactly where she had been lying yesterday. Liu Ruyan's mind was turning slowly, wondering if he had thought of this.
"Oh? Look, the missing person notice is on TV." Chen Ya said, pointing at the TV screen.
Liu Ruyan looked over and just heard the TV host describing her appearance.
"...The missing woman is 166cm tall, weighs 50kg, and was wearing a white Lolita-style dress. She disappeared after getting on a bus at the xx bus stop. Citizens, if you have any leads, please call the hotline xxxx as soon as possible. Any leads that are helpful will receive a 500,000 yuan reward..."
Liu Ruyan opened her mouth wide and said, "500,000?"
"Yeah," Chen Ya nodded, "Your parents are quite willing to spend money."
He raised his hand and the apple core fell accurately into the trash can.
500,000, which is equivalent to 100,000 crispy roasted sausages!
Liu Ruyan shook her head like a rattle: "I don't want to go back."
Chen Ya lay on the sofa, his expression unclear: "They are very anxious, right?"
Liu Ruyan lowered her head and said nothing.
She was silent for a long time and didn't say anything.
Chen Ya nodded: "I understand."
He added: "When you go out, remember to wear a mask. This city is big enough that you don't have to see someone you don't want to see in your entire life."
Liu Ruyan's tense mood relaxed.
This small room is so narrow that it cannot accommodate much spiritual space, but she feels freer here than in her own home which covers an area of more than 500 square meters.
She recalled that she had become dependent on the person in front of her almost instantly. She didn't know why before, but now she understood.
Being with him, I never feel controlled.
From childhood to adulthood, there was not a single day that she was not controlled by her parents. Only before going to bed at night could she take a breath like a diver surfacing.
But when I stay with Chen Ya, the feeling of freedom is like the wind coming from all directions.
If she didn't want to go back, she could just stay here. If she couldn't learn, she could learn again next time... This sense of relaxation was something she had never experienced in her life before.
Such a huge amount of freedom actually made her feel timid. Like a person walking down the stairs in the dark, she explored the boundaries of freedom bit by bit, and even if she hit the edge, she would be satisfied. But so far, she still couldn't see where the boundary was.
In just two days, she developed a sense of belonging to this small room.
The clock hanging above the door ticked away in an orderly manner. The wind blew in from the balcony window, and the sound of vehicle horns from the road came in the distance, making the room seem even quieter.
Such a quiet, peaceful and idle morning was a novel experience that Liu Ruyan had never had in her life.
She felt a little sleepy and yawned slightly.
Chen Ya pressed the remote control and changed the channel.
"Pah."
"Are you okay? Are you okay? Are you okay? ...If you're okay, eat some Lychee Plums..."
"Pah."
"...The Chinese national football team's humiliating defeat has become the biggest topic of discussion these past two days. Let's..."
"Pah."
"...This year's second typhoon, Fengxin, has formed. Although it has a loose structure and is relatively weak,..."
"Pah."
"I feel thrilled, scared, excited, happy, and blessed..."
"Pah."
