Chapter 21: Exorcism
"Do you know what happened to Chen Rui before? Did he tell you? Zhao's father slowed down, and said to Zhao Lei seriously.
Zhao Lei held my hand and never let go, "I said, he told me everything." He told Ouyang Ze and Wu Yao everything. "I feel very guilty to hear him defend me like this, after all, I still have some things to hide from him, those dirty things in the past...
His dad snorted softly and sat up with his cane to prop himself up. Looking at Zhao's father from behind, the sinister expression made me feel that he already knew those things and was ready to tell Zhao Lei.
And Zhao Lei still stood calmly in front of me, resisting all blows for me. Incomprehension, doubt, disgust, those emotions of his family are borne by Zhao Lei alone, even though he is tall, but his mind is still a child, how can he endure this? What's more, his dad has to use my recent events to stimulate him.
I pulled his hand back and motioned for him to leave. He didn't listen, his feet were as deep as tree roots.
"He's been a duck before, and he's been with a lot of men, did he tell you about it?" His father said lightly, every word was impregnated by his viciousness, that is, a few words, which made Zhao Lei tremble a little.
Even if it is up to me, Zhao Lei may not be able to accept such a thing, let alone his father telling him?
He took two steps back, and I could feel the temperature of his palms dropping, and now he was like a dead corpse, a dead corpse, and his inactive fingers had lost their strength, so that my hands could no longer feel his temperature.
At that moment, it was as if someone had stabbed me in the heart, and the heart-rending pain stimulated my brain. Zhao Lei slowly turned to look at me, with frightened eyes and trembling corners of his mouth, at this time, I seemed to have become a liar in his eyes, an emotional liar.
I wanted to leave him, but at this moment, I was afraid of losing him. I reached out to touch him, but he shook me off and hit my arm hard the moment I raised my hand. He was angry...
"Xiao Lei, listen to me, I used to be..." I opened my mouth to explain, wanting to redeem this hard-won love, but in those ridiculous eyes, I felt very difficult, and even when I spoke, I felt suffocated.
"You... Really—" he said in a choked voice, his eyes moistening a little.
I promised him that I wouldn't lie to him or hide it from him. But I didn't expect that this incident would be the last straw that broke the camel's back, and before I was ready, before I opened my mouth, it became a "lie" in Zhao's father's mouth.
"Yes, I was meant to tell you, not to lie to you or to whitewash my past." The grievances and pain in Zhao Lei's eyes kept coming to me, hitting the already unreliable relationship between us.
This may be what Zhao's father wants to see, seeing that the two of us have an argument because of my past, and then Zhao Lei abandons me because of this matter... Oh, that's a lot of scheming.
Father Zhao didn't intervene, just sat there and watched the fire, watching our fire burn the shackles that we had so hard to connect.
"Brother, you're really... Really..."He couldn't say that term, he couldn't describe me in words like that. But it has been burned in his mind, blocked in his throat, and if it is not explained, it does not mean that it is acceptable.
Zhao Lei retreated step by step, and the distance between him and me widened little by little as Zhao's father thought. He was hiding from me, hiding from me who had deceived him, and his constant shaking of his head was also announcing to me the end of this relationship.
In an instant, I realized my dependence on him, my love for him. I didn't want him to leave, I didn't want him to hide from me, but when I approached him, he chose to stay away and not give me a chance to explain.
"Okay, right? Do you know the true face of this liar? Father Zhao said mockingly, "He just deceived the young man for money!" I've seen a lot of this kind of person! At the end, he spat on the ground.
At first, Zhao Lei would not listen to Zhao's father's words, but now his wavering consciousness received everything he said in his mind.
"What are you doing standing there? Let's go? A middle-aged woman next to me shouted, "Do you think our Xiaolei will still be with your old duck?" "The word duck sounds very harsh, but it is indeed my mistake in the past.
In the face of the eviction order issued to me by his family, I didn't move, I waited for Zhao Lei's answer. Whether he wants me to go or stay, I need to see what he means.
Zhao Lei was also silent and did not speak, his clenched fists burst into green tendons, and they were still trembling slightly from a distance. I looked at him, but he didn't look at me directly, turned his face sideways and frowned and looked out the window as a way to calm himself.
I may be a cancer to him, planted in his heart, it will hurt when he is cut, and if he is not cut, it will kill him... As a result of the dilemma, he still chose the former.
"I understand what you mean," Zhao Lei's silence was a repelling of my tolerance, and I thought that if he hadn't had me in his heart, the sandbag-sized fist might have left two or three marks on my face.
"I'm sorry to bother you... I'm leaving, I hope your New Year hasn't been messed up by me..."In the face of the "enemy", my backbone is like a balloon that has been popped, and there is nothing left left. In order to step down with dignity, I also bent down, bowed my head and bowed deeply in front of them.
When I came, I knew that this was a bad battle, but I didn't expect to lose like this. When I came, I found love for Zhao Lei in my heart, but when I left, I interrupted Zhao Lei's feelings for me.
Aunt Liu took my luggage off, and when I took the handle, I only felt the cold of the metal. I pulled my suitcase and walked towards the door, for some reason, with every step I took, I felt like a little mermaid who had just gained a human leg, and the pain of pins and needles came from the soles of my feet.
I don't expect Zhao Lei to keep me, I just hope that he won't hate me because of this incident.
When I walked to the entrance, I turned my head to look at Zhao Lei. He was still standing there, his eyes were always out of the window, but now his eyes were moistened with tears...
It was still early, and looking at the beautiful weather, I took a long breath, but my heart was still oppressed by the heavy stones, and I couldn't relax.
Since I've come to Guangzhou, I don't want to leave so soon. I couldn't get a taxi here, so I had to walk down the long street with my suitcase, listening to the wind whistling in my ears, thinking about my single life in the future.
I found a hotel to stay in, and as soon as I entered, I felt tired. Can't wait to rush into the bathroom and take a cozy hot bath.
Lying in the bathtub, using warm water to stroke my arm again and again, my arm was not as firm as it used to be under the gentle light, and the temperature in the bathtub also made the blood vessels in my arm crawl all over my skin like a small snake.
How can such a body be worthy of Zhao Lei? Besides, this has been trampled on and defiled by many men... I can't help but associate Zhao's father's sentence of "deceiving the little young" to myself.
Scold... I wanted love, but I did pick the wrong person. I delusionally want to use this remnant body to match Zhao Lei's young body, ridiculous, sad...
A hot bath still can't relieve my body's fatigue, lying on the bed and watching boring TV series, I just feel very empty in my heart.
"Didi~" The text message on the mobile phone rang, and I skillfully slid the screen, it was Wu Yao's text message. When I saw his name, I felt a warm current in my heart, but when I saw the content, it was a pain in my heart.
――Did you see his parents? Have they embarrassed you? If anything, tell me, and I'll help you. The weather forecast says that Guangzhou will change the weather in the next few days, so wear a few more pieces. I'll be back when I've had enough, I'll hear good news from you...
I cried, I covered my eyes with my hands to stop the cowardly tears, but how could they, these inhuman liquids, know that escaping my restraints is torturing me?
"Ahh I let out a cry with all my strength, and the soft mattress became a bed of nails that stinged my skin.
I was wrong at the beginning, if I had explained this to Zhao Lei at the beginning, he would not have been angry, and if I had confessed to him at the beginning, he would have understood my distress. If I had rejected him from the beginning, maybe he, a "little young", would not have been deceived by me...
The night in Guangzhou is very lively, and you can feel the noise outside even if you don't have to stand by the window.
By 8 p.m., many of the roadside stalls were open, and puffs of green smoke crept down the walls of my room like ancient bonfires. "Goo~" I was hungry, but I was physically and mentally exhausted, but I didn't want to eat, so I just lay down, waiting for tomorrow to come, waiting for tomorrow to leave.
"Master~That guy is calling again~" The phone rang, and I rubbed my dry teary eyes and went to look at the screen.
"Hello? What do you think? Did it go well? As soon as he pressed the answer button, he heard Wu Yao's concern.
"Well, it went well, his parents didn't embarrass us." I resisted my grievances and said to him.
I don't want to tell him these things now, or he's going to run around the night with his temper. "I'll go back tomorrow, and Zhao Lei will stay here for a while." I choked up.
Wu Yao may have heard the abnormality of my tone, but he didn't ask in detail, but talked about other topics. "Oh, okay, remember to cover the thick quilt tonight, it's going to cool down."
"Well, I see—" I didn't dare to say too much, and after saying these words, I pressed the hang up button. Then came my helpless crying...
