The door opened in front of Deng Yingke, but he did not see the person who opened it.
"...Where is he?" He was a little confused.
"..." Zhu Jinzhao did not answer him.
He lifted his foot and tentatively took two steps into the room: "Jinzhao?"
"..."
There was absolutely no sound from inside the room.
Deng Yingke was stunned for a moment, then took a few more steps forward before he noticed Zhu Jinzhao, who had fainted behind the door.
"Jinzhao!" He rushed over and pulled Zhu Jinzhao, who had collapsed behind the door, into his arms. "She was fine just a second ago, how come she suddenly fainted just by opening the door?"
"...Is this door really that heavy?"
...
That night, the seven people who fainted for no apparent reason all had the same dream.
In their dreams, they all returned to the time when Zhu Mingyue had just arrived at the Zhu family, but the course of the dream was quite different from their memories.
They didn't see Zhu Mingyue and Zhu Jinzhao loving each other; they only saw them being irreconcilable enemies, constantly at odds.
May Mingyue no longer be so gentle and friendly, and may Jinzhao shed her naivety and adorableness. One is ruthless and vicious, the other stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat.
The two were like natural enemies, destined to never reconcile from the moment they met.
At first, Zhu Jinzhao felt guilty. Although she couldn't be blamed for being switched at birth, she had undeniably monopolized Zhu Mingyue's twenty years of a life of wealth and privilege.
She felt it was normal for Zhu Mingyue to harbor hatred, so she was quite tolerant of Zhu Mingyue's various methods.
But she didn't expect that Zhu Mingyue wanted far more than just venting her anger; she wanted her life. So she had no choice but to fight back.
But she overestimated the feelings her three brothers from the Zhu family had for her. Compared to the absolute blood ties and the debt they owed Zhu Mingyue, her affection was simply insignificant.
Zhu Mingyue used a simple trick, easily bribing a few of her friends, to make Zhu Xingye and the other two lose trust in her.
Without trust, she could no longer move an inch in the Zhu family. Despite her best efforts to protect herself, she was no match for Zhu Mingyue's machinations.
Finally, she could no longer stay in the Zhu family.
She wanted to leave, to escape the Zhu family and find a way to make a living for herself, but Zhu Mingyue refused to let her go no matter what.
She tried to escape three times, but Zhu Xingye caught her each time. The fourth time, she finally found someone who could help her, but before she could even begin her plan, Zhu Ning sent her to a special correctional school.
That school was simply not a place for humans to live.
I hope that today I'm not getting enough to eat or wear, and that I'm constantly being beaten by those perverted teachers.
Bamboo whips, batons, slippers, chairs... anything that could cause pain became a weapon for those teachers. Even if Zhu Jinzhao listened attentively, he still couldn't escape being beaten.
She originally thought being beaten was the worst thing, but she never expected that one night, half a month later, she would witness the girl sleeping opposite her being violated by that group of perverted teachers.
The piercing screams echoed all night long. A girl in the dormitory tried to stand up to protect her, but unfortunately became the second victim of those beasts.
So Zhu Jinchao dared not move.
She was terrified that those beasts would notice her, so she wrapped herself tightly in the blanket and didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Overnight, the two girls were tortured beyond recognition. Looking at their injuries, Zhu Jinzhao's last shred of reason completely crumbled.
That night, she ran away with the other girls in the dormitory.
She ran very fast, until her heart and lungs were in excruciating pain, and even her breath tasted of blood, but she dared not stop for a moment.
But those beasts still caught up with us.
Fortunately, she managed to escape the school by scaling the wall before those beasts could catch her. Unfortunately, she fell into Zhu Mingyue's trap as soon as she escaped from that den of iniquity.
Zhu Mingyue was followed by a lot of men, as if they had expected Zhu Jinzhao to run away, so they brought men to guard the place in advance.
The men's eyes were filled with lust as they looked at her, just like the beasts who had violated the two girls. She knew almost without thinking what Zhu Mingyue wanted to do to her.
Although the world was vast, it could no longer contain her. Without even a moment's hesitation, she rammed her head into a nearby pillar.
Suicide out of despair.
May they die again in their dreams today.
But after they died, they did not wake up from their dream; instead, they remained in a deep sleep.
"Um……"
Zhu Jinzhao frowned in pain, having just emerged from one nightmare only to quickly fall into another.
I dreamt that she was breaking up with Lu Yuzhou.
"Why make so many excuses? Do you think I don't know you've been having an affair with Zhu Mingyue all along?"
She stood in front of Lu Yuzhou, her expression and eyes full of mockery.
Lu Yuzhou didn't want to be labeled a cheating man, so he shamelessly argued, "What do you mean by 'secretly having an affair'? Before this, Mingyue and I were completely innocent."
"Is that so?" Zhu Jinzhao glanced at him coldly. "Then how do you explain adding Zhu Mingyue on WeChat before she even registered at school and asking about her well-being every day?"
Lu Yibai: "...Mingyue is my junior in the same major. As her senior, what's wrong with me showing her some concern before she enrolled? Can you please stop thinking of us in such a dirty way?"
Zhu Jinzhao: "I didn't want to be so despicable, but who told you all to get involved?"
"I..." Lu Yuzhou was speechless after being confronted by her. "W-what do you mean by 'getting mixed up'? I broke up with you first, and then pursued Mingyue. Mingyue and I are completely innocent and aboveboard! Everyone at school knows that!"
"Zhu Jinzhao, I know you still love me, but we're really not right for each other. Mingyue is the one who's most suitable for me!"
"Ha..." Zhu Jinzhao was so angry she laughed. "Break up? Lu Yuzhou, when did you break up with me?"
"I brought it up a long time ago..." Lu Yuzhou's eyes darted around, his face full of guilt. "I stopped replying to your messages two months ago. It's an unwritten rule that if you don't contact someone for more than three days, it's an automatic breakup, didn't you know that?"
“…Oh.” Zhu Jinzhao nodded. “So that’s how it is…But if that’s the case, why are you still spending my money after we broke up?”
Lu Yuzhou looked up at the sky: "That was given to you voluntarily, it's not like I asked you for it..."
Zhu Jinzhao: "..."
Lu Yuzhou is completely rotten; talking to him anymore won't make any difference. Rather than continuing this pointless entanglement, it's better to end it here and give herself some peace and quiet.
"Fine, you're right, you're innocent, and you finally found your true love. Since you're so self-righteous, I'd like to see if everyone approves of your actions."
"I've compiled the evidence of your infidelity, and I'll send it out in a bit so everyone at school can see how you and your true love got together!"
After saying that, Zhu Jinzhao turned and left without pausing for even a second.
Lu Yuzhou was startled and quickly reached out to grab Zhu Jinzhao's arm.
"What do you mean by wishing for good fortune today...?"
"Let go!"
A cold, sharp male voice suddenly interrupted Lu Yuzhou.
