Chapter 35 Jiang Tao's Past

Tears of blood flowed from Jiang Tao's eyes.

She laughed bitterly, "You all think it's impossible, right? I also thought it was impossible at the time."

Her memory went back to the day of the accident, and Jiang Tao couldn't help but shiver.

That afternoon, she went out to buy food as usual and met a child who was crying very sadly on the way.

The child grabbed the corner of her clothes and said, "Sister, I'm lost. Do you know where Building B of Jinyu Garden is? I can't find my parents, wuwuwu..."

Jiang Tao felt a little soft-hearted when she saw the child was so innocent and crying so sadly.

She originally wanted to call the child's parents to pick him up, but the child couldn't remember his family's phone number.

She opened the navigation on her phone and found that Jinyu Garden was nearby, so she thought about sending him back.

After sending the child downstairs, she planned to return the same way.

When passing through an alley, a man ran out from behind her and covered her eyes.

Jiang Tao shuddered all over and was about to call for help when a familiar, cheerful young man's voice with a smile rang in her ears, "Taotao, you are still so timid."

He loosened his grip.

Jiang Tao breathed a sigh of relief and gently hit him with her hand.

"Chen Shuo, you are sick! You scared me to death!"

Chen Shuo stood in the shadows, smiling and shaking the bag in his hand, "Don't be angry, I bought you some milk tea, do you want some?"

In the bag is Jiang Tao’s favorite peach oolong.

Chen Shuo and Jiang Tao have been classmates since high school.

In the past, he was silent and was bullied by others. It was Jiang Tao who stood up and drove away those who bullied him.

From that day on, the two of them formed a deep friendship.

Under her influence, Chen Shuo gradually became more sunny and cheerful.

This was not the first time they treated each other to milk tea.

So, she took the bag from his hand without any precautions, took out the straw, stuck it into the milk tea cup, and took two sips.

On a hot summer day, it was the cup of sweet fruit tea with a hint of oolong tea sent by a good friend that made her lose consciousness.

When she woke up again, Jiang Tao was powerless, her hands were tied, and all she saw was a colorful dream.

The room is not small, but the color tone is warm, and every decoration inside is exquisite and lovely.

This place is familiar yet strange.

Jiang Tao's head ached and her vision was wandering. She couldn't remember where she was, but she instinctively wanted to break free from the restraints and escape.

Click.

The sound of the doorknob turning fell into her ears. Jiang Tao raised her eyes in horror, and when she saw Chen Shuo standing at the door against the light, tears almost fell from her eyes.

She choked and looked at him helplessly, "Chen Shuo, help me!"

Chen Shu didn't move.

Jiang Tao looked at him in surprise and couldn't help but urge him, "Hurry up!"

She didn't notice that his expression was actually a little cold, and she didn't have time to think about why she was here. She just instinctively asked him for help.

When the other party remained silent and even stared at her, she was shocked to realize that she had lost consciousness after drinking the drink given by Chen Shuo.

Jiang Tao's body was shaking and her face was turning pale little by little.

Click.

Chen Shu closed the door.

He walked with heavy steps towards Jiang Tao, squatted down, and his eyes were level with hers.

Chen Shu smiled and touched Jiang Tao's hair.

"Taotao, I like you."

Jiang Tao's mind went blank. If it were normal, she would be shy and at a loss if he said that, and even her ears would turn red like cooked shrimps.

Her feelings for Chen Shu had never been open.

During the desperate days after losing her parents, she was very sad and in pain. It was Chen Shuo's gentleness and patience that accompanied her through those difficult days.

It’s just that no matter how enthusiastic and cheerful a person is, they will always lack some courage when facing the boy they like.

She always thought that if she could become more outstanding and beautiful, maybe she could tell him openly that she loved him.

When you like someone, you always put a beautiful soft light filter on that person and think that the person is good in every way.

But the filter shattered in just a moment.

In this warm room, in front of her who was restrained in her freedom, Chen Shuo said to her in a seemingly equal manner, "I like you," but she just felt nauseous and disgusted.

But Jiang Tao knew that she must not irritate him.

She tried to calm herself down and act shy.

"I...I like you too, Chen Shuo, can you untie me? My hands hurt."

Jiang Tao showed weakness to him with red eyes.

However, Chen Shu just sneered and pinched her chin.

"Taotao, we have known each other for so many years, do you think I don't know what you look like when you lie?"

"Like me? How could you possibly like me!"

"I've waited for so long. I thought I could wait until you fell in love with me, but the waiting time is too long. Taotao, I'm not afraid of waiting, but I don't see any hope."

"Perhaps only by hiding you can you belong to me!"

His smile was still sunny, but in Jiang Tao's eyes, it was creepy.

He looked at her body wantonly, and Jiang Tao felt her scalp tingling. "Chen Shuo, are you crazy?"

The corners of Chen Shu's eyes turned red and he grabbed her clothes.

He tilted his head and smiled at her, "Yeah, I've been crazy for a long time."

"I like you so much, why do you still smile at others? Why are you so gentle to others?"

"Can't you just like me, can't you just love me!"

The buttons of her white shirt fell to the ground with a click, and Jiang Tao's world fell apart as his breath enveloped her whole body.

She seemed to feel no pain, her eyes were blurred and wandering as she stared at the ceiling.

This room is so cozy.

Even the ceiling is her favorite cherry pink color.

Chen Shu hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to melt this person into his bones and blood.

"Taotao, when my house was renovated half a year ago, I invited you to visit."

"You said at the time that this room is very beautiful. I prepared it especially for you."

It turned out that at that time, no, it should be said that as early as when he bought this house and planned to renovate it, he had already prepared to imprison her here.

Or rather, even earlier.

"Taotao, let's stay like this, together for the rest of our lives, in our little home."

"You're dreaming!"

Jiang Tao shed tears and uttered a few words through gritted teeth.

Wait a little longer!

After a few more hours, her colleagues would notice that she was missing and call the police if she didn't come back.

However, Chen Shu seemed to know what she was thinking. He stroked her skin with his big hands. When he saw her trembling with fear, he smiled.

"Taotao, I know you must be waiting for your colleagues to find out you're missing, to call the police, and to rescue you."

"But you are too naive. Do you think that everyone in this world is as compassionate as you are?"

"Your disappearance will only become a topic of conversation for them after dinner! No one in this world will care about your life or death except me!"

Jiang Tao didn't believe it.

But she waited and waited, and no one came to rescue her after a long time.
