Chapter 7 The Best Stature You Deserve is to be My Dog
- Ji Zeyan heard what I said, the only expression on his face was disgust, but his hand moved from my neck to my chin, he looked at me with his black eyes, as if he was going to see me thoroughly.
- The atmosphere was quiet, almost scary, there was only the breaths of alcohol.
- After a long while, he sneered at me, "What do you want?"
- At that time, I was so naïve that I thought he trusted me, I opened my mouth: "On the wedding-marriage agreement, I pressed my fingerprints, as long as you don't re-fingerprint with her, I'm yours."
- The man pushed me away, sat back in the driver's seat, and said nothing.
- However, after he drove all the way home, threw me in the bathtub filled with icy water, pulled my hair, and said to me: "Do you think I would believe the words coming out of your mouth? A woman like you, the best stature you deserve is to be my dog."
- At that moment, I was already sober. Considering how much Ji Zeyan is disgusted by me, how would it be possible for him to trust my words?
- I was struggling in the water, but he didn't care and ignored me. While I was on the verge of drowning, he pulled me out of the bathtub. Then, we made love within the bathtub, on the windowsill, on the couch, then finally, in bed.
- I was covered in wounds already, he caused me so much pain that I couldn't stop crying, I cried and begged him to stop, but he seemed not to hear.
- I was unconscious in the end.
- When I woke up again, I saw the white wall in front of me, besides me, the drip was hanging.
- Now, I had slept off my drunkness and was sobered.
- Thinking back of what I did and said yesterday, I was very anxious and abashed.
- I stayed in the hospital for three days.
- During these three days, I took medicines in the hospital. Although no one asked me about the cause of being hospitalized, every time from the expressions in nurses' eyes, I know that they had already known.
- Until three days later, I was discharged, Ji Zeyan never made an appearance.
- The first thing I did after I left the hospital was calling Jiang Shan.
- Fortunately, this time she answered my call. After hearing about my situation, she peddled off to the hospital, composed herself, and she took me to her 40 meter-squared shabby house.
- I walked through the door, I habitually cleaned out a space on the sofa stacked with clothes, and sat down.
- Jiang Shan carried a small stool, sat beside me, lighted up a cigarette, and took two deep breathes from her cigarette, then she asked: "Go ahead, what happened?"
- Even though she was asking me, her expression stated that she had already seen through everything.
- I just got nobody to talk to, so I told her everything that happened in these last few days.
- Jiang Shan smoked and listened to me. After I finished, she put the cigarette butt out in the ashtray beside her hands, clapped her hands, and said: "Finally, you have stopped being such a pure woman."
- "What?"
- I expected Jiang Shan to scold me.
- She praised me. I didn't know how react.
- Jiang Shan sat her back straight, and said in an experienced tone of voice: "You, don't drive yourself up to Ji Zeyan, on the contrary, you should play hard-to-get. A man will devote his heart, if he was sexually attracted to you."
- What she meant was obvious, she wanted me to keep tangling up with Ji Zeyan.
- But how bitterness and heartbroken I felt the night three days ago was branded onto my heart, "Drop it. I am terrified. He is a beast!"
- "Drop the hell." Jiang Shan came to me, sat straight on that stack of clothes, and hooked around my neck with her hands, "How many years ago did you start to talk about him every day? You used to cut out the pieces of newspaper about him and stick them. Now, he is practically being fed to you, and you want to drop it?"
- I couldn't help but be stunned.
- Indeed, I used to be all about meeting with Ji Zeyan once again and marry him.
- "I could stand by your back, wandering and dreaming, like a shadow chasing the light."
- The melodious phone bell rang.
- It was my phone.
- I had been using this song for a long time. I remembered the first time I heard it, I almost cried.
- Ji Zeyan to me, was like the stream of light to the shadow. Although I knew clearly there wasn't ever going to be a result, I worked my ass off to be better and stronger. I wished that someday, I would stand on the same level as he was.
- I wanted to shake his hands and introduce myself to him with confidence.
- When I took my phone out of my bag and saw that familiar chain of numbers, I was so scared that I almost tossed the phone away.
