Hua Kai felt dizzy, like she was drunk. She struggled to open her eyes, and the scene in front of her slowly came into focus.
In front of me was a dilapidated round table standing on the side, with four dishes on it, served in chipped blue-rimmed plates.
There were three pairs of bowls and chopsticks and three wine glasses on the table, as well as a bottle of Erguotou that was half-empty. The whitewashed walls in sight had turned yellow, and there were many cigarette butts on the cement floor.
Hua Kai rubbed her temples and looked up. The blue-painted wooden window frame directly opposite her had faded. The window was half-open, and the sky outside was overcast. Half of the blue checkered curtains fluttered in the wind.
Not far from the window, against the wall, there was a double bed. At that moment, a woman in her early twenties dressed in red was stripping the clothes off a sleeping man.
Hua Kai was startled, her mind instantly clearing. The place in front of her was both strange and familiar.
It felt strange because she was certain she had never been there before, but familiar because she had found the diary yesterday, and this scene was exactly the same as the scene described on the first page of the diary.
The owner of that memoir was also named Huakai, and this was where her tragic life began, so she remembered every detail here so clearly.
When Hua Kai touched her waist-length hair and saw the vintage-looking gray trousers and green plaid shirt she was wearing, she had only one guess: she had time-traveled to the autumn of the year the diary's owner turned seventeen.
She had a photographic memory, so she clearly remembered everything in that diary.
Today is September 1, 1992. Hua Lin, Hua Kai's cousin, asked her to accompany her to her fiancé Wang Shengli's house to discuss postponing their wedding.
When they arrived, Wang Shengli's parents were not home. Hua Lin said it was almost noon, so she cooked a few dishes and they ate and talked.
Once they were seated, Hua Lin poured her a drink. Hua Kai usually doesn't drink, but today was the first day of school. She had been accepted into high school but couldn't attend, so she felt frustrated and drank.
She had only taken two sips when she passed out. When she woke up, she and Wang Shengli were lying on the bed, their clothes disheveled.
Just then, several of Hua Lin's classmates arrived. They said they were looking for Hua Lin, but it was more like they wanted to catch her in the act of adultery. This was all part of Hua Lin's scheme.
Hua Kai, who had experienced storms in her past life, saw the scene before her and knew that Hua Lin's scheme was only half complete, and there was still a chance for everything to change.
She stood up, bracing herself against the table, shook her head to clear her head as quickly as possible, and then walked behind Hua Lin.
Hua Lin had just finished tearing off Wang Shengli's clothes when she turned around and saw Hua Kai's deathly gaze. She was so frightened that she opened her mouth to scream.
How could Hua Kai possibly give her a chance? She struck Hua Lin on the back of the neck with a palm strike. The six years of kung fu she learned from retired special forces soldiers in her previous life were not for nothing.
Hua Lin rolled her eyes and fainted, filled with too much confusion and doubt.
Hua Kai moved Hua Lin to the bed and then took off all of her clothes.
The wicked woman before me caused the original owner to bear a sin that was not hers for the rest of her life, and to suffer from depression. Now, Hua Kai must make this wicked woman pay for her sins.
As for Wang Shengli, there is nothing to sympathize with. His diary records that he had long harbored lustful thoughts towards Hua Kai. After the incident, he used a scheme to cling to Hua Kai and made a scene at her house every day, demanding to marry her.
He only stopped when a rainy day caused his father, Huakai, to fall off the ladder and become paralyzed from the waist down.
So Hua Kai not only stripped the two of them naked, but also ripped off all the buttons and tore some of their vital parts, so that even if they put on clothes later, they would still be barely clothed.
All done, Hua Kai was very satisfied, and even posed the two of them in a very alluring way. It's just a pity I didn't have a phone, otherwise I would definitely have taken a picture to commemorate the occasion.
After she finished fussing, she realized that she had wasted too much time thinking about getting revenge, so she decided to leave quickly.
Being the first eyewitness is not feasible and could easily lead to problems, so you must leave first.
Of course, I'll have to come back through the front door later; I still have things to do.
When Hua Kai walked to the table, she saw the bowls, chopsticks, and wine glasses she had used. She knew she couldn't leave these pieces of evidence.
So she moved the stool aside. She didn't have time to wash the dishes, so she had to take them with her and throw them away to prevent future problems.
However, as soon as she reached the door, she heard the voices of many people talking outside.
Hua Kai grabbed a bowl, chopsticks, and a wine glass and hurried to the back window, intending to jump out. But when she got to the window, she realized that she was on the second floor.
At that time, small houses were rare in rural northern China, but Wang Shengli's family was an exception.
Wang Shengli's father used to work at the township supply and marketing cooperative and was well-off, so he built the only two-story house in the village, which was why Hua Lin was willing to marry him.
However, Wang Shengli became addicted to gambling after taking over the business, losing his job and accumulating a mountain of debt, which made Hua Lin regret her decision.
However, she didn't want to return the betrothal gifts, so she came up with the plan to frame Hua Kai, killing two birds with one stone. This was written later in her diary.
Hua Kai observed the terrain downstairs and saw a pile of sand below the window, next to which was a section of collapsed courtyard wall. This was definitely an escape route tailor-made for her.
Her skills are not just for show; there's cushioning when she jumps down from here, so she definitely won't hurt herself.
With a bowl and chopsticks in one hand and a cup in the other, Hua Kai leaped down and landed safely on the sand pile, the bowl, chopsticks, and cup remaining firmly in her hands without falling or making a sound.
As Hua Kai stood up, about to leave through the broken wall, a handsome young man's face appeared before her.
The man was about twenty-two or twenty-three years old. His clean face was flawless, with deep-set eyes, a high nose bridge, and sexy thin lips. Even his slightly furrowed eyebrows were sexy. Paired with his neat short hair, he was really too good-looking.
The man looked down at the blooming flowers. The girl was pretty, and her jumping and landing were very professional. Most importantly, when she jumped from the second floor, the porcelain bowl and glass she was holding were intact. What does this girl do?
Hua Kai regained her senses and took half a step back, noticing that the man's gaze had shifted from her face to the object in her hand.
She laughed somewhat awkwardly: "Um, if I said I was going to eat, would you believe me?"
The man's gaze remained fixed on Hua Kai's face: "Do you think I'd believe that?" His voice was deep and magnetic.
Hua Kai brushed the hair that was blocking her eyes with her arm and continued to laugh awkwardly: "It is indeed a bit strange."
At this moment, Hua Kai realized that this man was not someone she could easily fool. She had to persuade him to keep the secret. If she were to get involved again, she would be completely implicated.
She looked at the man sincerely and said, "I believe you are a person who can distinguish right from wrong, so I'm telling you the truth, hoping you can help me."
The man didn't speak, but watched the flowers bloom with a scrutinizing gaze.
Hua Kai couldn't waste any more time, so she continued, "My cousin drugged me and framed me for having an affair with her fiancé. I'm giving her a taste of her own medicine and returning the favor to her. To prevent any future trouble, I brought all the evidence from the scene. Please don't say you've seen me here. I can't let myself be implicated again." Some details weren't suitable to be revealed too much; this was enough.
