Chapter 36: The Sickly Boy

Every day, she was thinking about how to escape from here.

But every time he escaped, he would be discovered by Chen Shu.

What she faced afterwards was even more terrible torture.

Chen Shu would use knives, iron nails, and countless other painful methods to force her to submit.

He said he loved her, but he never respected her wishes or her personality.

She was like a pet he kept in captivity. When he was happy, he would touch her head and kiss her lips.

She would suffer particularly badly if he sensed that she was trying to run away.

Many nights, Chen Shuo pulled her hair, leaving wounds of varying sizes on her body, but with red eyes, he begged her in a pleading tone.

"Taotao, look at me, I beg you to like me, Taotao, don't hate me, please love me..."

If he doesn't get the answer he wants, he will keep crying and begging.

But when he found that begging was useless, he would use more brutal means to force her to surrender.

During the days when she was tortured and covered with wounds, Jiang Tao once asked in despair, "Why did you choose me!"

"There are so many people in this world, why don't you let me go!"

"Chen Shuo, I clearly saved you!"

When he was bullied and wanted to commit suicide in despair, she stepped forward and drove away those who bullied him.

It was she who comforted him again and again and brought him out of the shadow of despair!

She asked herself if she had ever done anything wrong to Chen Shu.

Why does he treat her like this!

Whenever this happened, Chen Shu would hug her and smile.

"Who asked you to mind your own business?"

"Jiang Tao, I have never seen the light of day. I am used to staying in the dark. I don't need anyone's mercy or charity. Who allowed you to be so self-righteous and stand up for yourself?"

"Who needs your hypocritical advice? Do you think you were particularly great and kind at that time? Do you think you are the savior?"

He has lived in darkness since he was a child.

I never knew what light was like.

He also doesn't want to know what light looks like.

But her appearance forced him to tell the truth about his life.

"I wanted to die at that time! You know I miss! Why did you pull me back from the brink of death?"

"Why did you tell me that there is still light in this world?"

"Who cares about your kindness? Kindness and mercy are the most useless things in the world. Jiang Tao, you can be so self-righteous and pull me back from the edge of the cliff, but why do you have to be so nice to everyone?"

Chen Shu's eyes were bloodshot, and he smiled contentedly at Jiang Tao's expression as if she had been struck by lightning.

"Taotao, you have never learned to be selfish after all these years. You are so kind to everyone. If you don't make a big mistake in this matter, you will never learn your lesson."

And he was the one who caused Jiang Tao to fall.

Jiang Tao was the source of his light. Whenever she stood there, he would involuntarily want to get closer to her.

But her light will illuminate everyone.

While Chen Shu wanted to get closer, he couldn't help but feel it was too dazzling.

He both loves and hates Jiang Tao.

He loved her for being so gentle and kind at that time, and for bringing him out of the quagmire when he was living in darkness.

He also hated why her gentleness and kindness could not belong to him alone.

He pretended to be sunny and positive, pretending to be the same person as her.

But the disguise will always be torn off.

He couldn't pretend any longer, and Jiang Tao's end was here.

During the days of imprisonment and torture, the sentence Jiang Tao heard most often was, "You are harmed by your kindness. If you had not meddled in other people's business, I would not have targeted you."

After hearing such words for a long time, Jiang Tao began to hate herself at that time.

Kindness was once her most inconspicuous and beautiful quality.

Later this became the thing she hated and despised the most.

Jiang Tao never gave up saving herself.

When she was caught after her last escape, Chen Shuo held her bruised body and suddenly smiled a tired and relaxed smile.

"Taotao, maybe only if I die, you won't think of leaving me anymore."

As he finished speaking, a fruit knife stabbed into her body.

Jiang Tao closed her eyes forever in this room that Chen Shu specially prepared for her.

Before she died, she seemed to hear Chen Shu say that he really loved her.

"They say good people will be rewarded. Hahahaha, this is simply the most ridiculous lie I have ever heard!"

Jiang Tao's eyes were pitch black, like two black holes that seemed to want to devour and bite people.

She recounted all this with gnashing teeth, the hatred in her eyes never dissipated.

She never understood why she ended up like this. If we have to find out, it's just like what Chen Shu said, it's her fault for being too careless.

Blame her for meddling in other people's business.

Dean Qin's eyes were filled with sorrow. He touched his face and found that it was already covered with tears.

"Xiao Tao, this is not your fault."

Jiang Tao was startled and raised her head blankly.

[Damn it, Chen Shu is such a beast! Damn it! Why isn't he dead yet?]

[I was really angry and cried. Her life was ruined by him, and he was still pua her until she died! ]

The barrage of comments was filled with people scolding Chen Shuo for being a good-for-nothing and expressing their sympathy for Jiang Tao's experience.

But there are always some people who see things logically differently from normal people.

[No, doesn't anyone think that Chen Shuo and Jiang Tao's characters are particularly touching? A sickly brother and a sunny and sweet girl, help me, I'm going crazy! ]

【Aaaah! I felt the same way, especially when I found out that Jiang Tao also loved Chen Shuo before, I was so upset! The ending was really disappointing, but it was a relief to see it end!】

[Chen Shuo loves Jiang Tao, but his way of loving is wrong. No one has ever taught him how to love someone. If Jiang Tao had confessed her feelings earlier, this wouldn’t have happened!]

[Sis, you guys are such heavy drinkers, let’s drink some pesticide to regulate our body! ]

[Jiang Tao was killed, you idiots are still here shipping the couple, do you have any heart? Why don't you just die! ]

【You are great for using love to beautify crime! 】

[To be honest, Jiang Tao had to do this because of her own fault. Who told her to drink the milk tea that someone else handed to her without any precautions? ]

[Hahaha, what a blessing from the money-worshiping little fairy! ]

[Don't be so funny, drinking a cup of milk tea is considered money worship now, right? 】

[It’s not a stranger who handed over the drink! Chen Shuo and Jiang Tao knew each other since high school. They have been close friends for many years. Who knew that the man with the last name Chen was a beast! ]

[It's easy to talk here. If you were Jiang Tao, can you guarantee that you can do better than her? ]

Huo Ning looked at Jiang Tao with a complicated expression. She moved her lips, wanting to say something, but when the words reached her lips, they turned into a sigh.

There was an audience member on the barrage who asked a question that was ignored by everyone.

[Why didn't anyone call the police when Jiang Tao went missing? In such a big hospital, didn't anyone think something might have happened to her?]

[Didn't Jiang Tao die in Chen Shu's house? Why did her ghost appear in the hospital? ]
