It's baffling, but that's how the relationship was established.
Li Sheng finally learned from Su Yunting that the victim of the violence was actually her father.
He also learned about Su Yunting's life and experiences from childhood to adulthood, but he did not comment. Everyone's life and experiences are different. If you don't really get to know her, who would know that a rich young woman with so much money lives a hellish life every day?
Or perhaps others see him suddenly as a well-known streamer, enjoying everyone's praise and envy, but in reality, his life is a mess, and he once fell into dire straits.
"Then why don't you listen to your mother and run away from your father? You are a young returnee with money, education, and professional skills. You won't be too bad off anywhere. Just buy a plane ticket to get away from your father's city, or you can simply stay abroad."
Upon hearing Li Sheng's words, Su Yunting covered her face in pain again, her voice hoarse.
“I lived with my father since I was a child. When I was a child, I rebelled and told my teacher. The teacher called the police for me. The police only gave my father a verbal reprimand. But do you know what awaited me? I had to face my father’s even angrier side alone. Clothes hangers, sticks, and belts were used on me in various ways until I finally lost consciousness.”
"At that time, I thought I might as well just be beaten to death, but I didn't die. I'm still living in pain until now. I can't resist or escape my father. I won't."
“Do you know that when I was studying abroad, I lived in fear all the time? I was afraid he would suddenly appear. I was almost driven crazy by this fear. I couldn’t leave my father. After I finished my studies, I came back. I can’t leave him.”
“The day I returned from studying abroad, my father cooked for me. Although it was just a simple plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, I thought he had changed. I naively thought he would give me some fatherly love. I thought I had finally become a child who was loved. Until he asked me for money. I don’t know how he found out that my mother had inherited a lot of property and died in an accident. He wanted the inheritance that my mother left me. When I refused, he raised his fist again.”
"I can't escape or resist, I can't, I really can't... The only way to stop the pain is to leave, to disappear from this world, both my consciousness and my body. Only then will I stop the pain."
This is the root of the problem. Growing up being tormented has severely damaged their mental health. In a young child's eyes, the father is supposed to be a majestic and strong guardian, but if he takes on the role of an intruder and abuser, then it's all over. Even if the child has grown up, the different magnetic fields between men and women, coupled with the fear formed from childhood, make it difficult to muster the thought and courage to resist. Even if they have the idea, they may not have the courage.
Because even if they tried to save themselves in early childhood, they faced even more tragic consequences.
He had read many books on psychology, but he was not a psychologist, and his approach to problem-solving was simpler and more brutal. He believed that the best way to deal with such matters was to fight fire with fire.
He's very good at it, but this isn't his life. He can help once, but not forever. Only Su Yunting himself can solve the problem.
"Let's go to the gym and I'll get you a yearly membership. Consider it a gift from me to thank you for your support."
The first step was to help Su Yunting regain her confidence—confidence in life and in herself. As the saying goes, fitness is the best confidence booster.
The process of exercising releases happy hormones and can effectively regulate negative emotions. Each painful and lengthy training session that involves muscle tearing elevates not only the mind but also the body.
You can also see the changes in your body very clearly.
The two bought two sets of clothes suitable for exercise and changed into them. Su Yunting turned her attention to the treadmill, but Li Sheng led her to the anaerobic zone.
"Let's go, I'll first teach you how to manipulate weights in various ways, and how to use those tools."
Su Yunting didn't have the habit of exercising, and he rarely even did the most basic anaerobic exercise like running. He struggled to lift a five-kilogram dumbbell, and his whole body trembled when he lifted an empty bar.
"It's so sore and painful, I can't hold on anymore."
"Then take a few seconds to rest before continuing. If you feel very uncomfortable, then keep practicing until you no longer feel uncomfortable. If you don't want to live anymore, why are you afraid of these iron lumps? If you die from practicing, wouldn't that be just what you want?"
Li Sheng's words of encouragement were very effective, and he did several more. When he arrived at the gym, Li Sheng felt itchy all over and started looking for his favorite equipment to work out.
After a few moments, his muscles became engorged with blood, and the thin lines became even more noticeable. During a break, Su Yunting glanced over and saw Li Sheng training his arms, his muscles radiating a powerful and muscular presence.
Su Yunting stared in a daze, then looked at her own arms, which were as thin as bamboo poles. She seemed to understand the true meaning of Li Sheng's fitness training. If she were strong enough, her father would no longer hit her, or at least wouldn't dare to hit her.
Su Yunting looked delicate and weak, but she was unusually crazy, as if she didn't know fatigue. Even though she was already close to exhaustion, she was still gritting her teeth and continuing.
Things always turn into their opposites when they reach an extreme. Li Sheng prepared a cup of protein powder, some whole grains, and water and took them over.
"Eat something before you train. Even if you're venting, you have to take care of your health. Only you can truly care for your own body."
Well...
One month...
Su Yunting is a natural fitness enthusiast. Fitness is something that is measured in years, but in just one month, Su Yunting's body has undergone very obvious changes. Her body lines have become more defined, and her arms and thighs are more muscular. She hasn't left this place in the past thirty days.
They booked out an entire VIP gym area on the second floor; money talks.
Over the past month, not only has Su Yunting's body changed, but he has also become much more energetic. Sometimes he can even smile at him, and during breaks he plays a few rounds of games with the milk group.
She also frequently looks in the mirror, in an appreciative manner, indicating that she has made changes. The next step is the final step: overcoming her fear.
He had already booked his flight back to his in-laws' house tomorrow; this was the last lesson.
"Remember the basic moves I taught you? Imagine this punching bag as the person you hate the most, the person you despise the most, and smash it with all your might."
At first, Su Yunting simply followed Li Sheng's instructions, punching him one by one. Somehow, she suddenly thought of her father. He called again, but she hung up. This was the first time she had ever hung up on her father. She knew he was threatening her for money again. Who did she hate the most? She hated the person who made her his daughter but was irresponsible. She hated him for tormenting her. When she thought of her father again, she didn't seem so afraid anymore. Her emotions surged, and she felt a surge of empathy. She wanted to go crazy. The punching bag in front of her was her father, and she wanted to repay him for everything she had suffered since childhood.
Su Yunting's emotions exploded and he couldn't stop. For a full hour and a half, when he reached exhaustion again, he threw a final punch and collapsed to the ground.
