Zhong Mingwei sat on the rather rough straw mat, head lowered, and said nothing. Ah Chou couldn't see his face, but he could clearly see that his two big hands were tightly grasping the straw mat. The veins on the back of his hands were bulging, and the straw mat, which was originally in good condition, was torn by him.
"Zhong Mingwei. Don't be angry," Ah Chou panicked. After spending so long with Zhong Mingwei, Zhong Mingwei had never been angry before. But this time, it was obvious that Zhong Mingwei was angry. He was furious. Ah Chou knelt on the ground in a hurry, and said at a loss, "Zhong, Zhong Mingwei. I was wrong. I was wrong. Please don't be angry, okay? Please, don't be angry..."
Zhong Mingwei clenched his fists even tighter. His nails dug into his flesh, but he didn't feel any pain at all. Really, it didn't hurt at all, because there was a place that hurt a thousand times more than that.
"Zhong Mingwei. I was wrong, I was really wrong..." Blood flowed slowly through the painful fingers, and every drop fell on the dry yellow straw mat. Ah Chou was so scared that she burst into tears. She was so scared that she took out a handkerchief and wanted to wipe Zhong Mingwei's hands, but she didn't dare to move. She just held the cotton handkerchief and sobbed, wanting to cry but not daring to cry loudly, "Zhong Mingwei, please don't be angry, okay? I... I was wrong. I will never make you angry again, please..."
"Go away!" After a long while, Zhong Mingwei finally uttered these two words with difficulty. He still kept his head down, and his whole body was filled with terrifying hostility.
Ah Chou's crying stopped immediately, but her tears became bigger. Her eyes were wide open, as if she was trying to hold back her tears. She seemed to be too shocked by what Zhong Mingwei said. After a long while, she said in a hoarse voice: "You...you let me go?"
"Yes! I let you go!" Zhong Mingwei suddenly raised his head, staring at Ah Chou with scarlet eyes, as ferocious as a demon. "Look at what kind of life you've been leading with a half-dead paraplegic like me? What on earth are you trying to achieve? What are you counting on? Do you have to risk your life before you know what it means to regret?!"
"I..." Ah Chou's tears burst out like pearls from a broken string. Her eyes were blurred and she couldn't say anything as soon as she opened her mouth.
She didn't feel wronged, really not. What was wrong with sleeping on a straw mat? She had survived days that were ten times more difficult than this, hadn't she? How could she be so delicate?
She was sad and distressed. She was sad about why she had made Zhong Mingwei so angry. She felt sorry for him for who knows how long he had been sitting on this broken straw mat and how long he had been feeling guilty and blaming himself. She didn't feel wronged, but if it happened to Zhong Mingwei, she would feel wronged and sad for him.
"Go away," Zhong Mingwei's voice was much lower after his previous roar. Not only was it lower, but it was also harshly hoarse. He took a deep breath and looked at Ah Chou with a pair of scarlet eyes. "Go away, don't come back again. Forget Ningguta, and forget..."
"No way!" Ah Chou wailed, and suddenly grabbed Zhong Mingwei's neck. She indulged her sadness and heartache, and tightly hugged the man's neck, not caring that her tears and snot were stuck to the man's neck. "Zhong Mingwei, you can't do this to me! You can't do this to me! You know exactly what I'm after, and you also know what I expect. Zhong Mingwei, you are not allowed to do this to me! Please, don't do this to me..."
Zhong Mingwei straightened his back and gritted his teeth, trying not to lose control, but the girl lay on his shoulder, her skinny body pressed tightly against him, sobbing, and her ribs rubbed his chest. Zhong Mingwei felt the dull pain in that place, and he could no longer hold back his tears, which slid down the corners of his eyes. His hands, which had been clenched into fists, gradually stretched out, and tremblingly hugged the adorable girl. The next second, the girl in his arms cried even louder.
