Chapter 14 : You'd Better Kill Me

• A sinister smile curled up at the corner of Qiao Yechen's mouth.
• In his eyes, this was an impossible task to accomplish.
• So he wasn't afraid to sign the contract. After all, she could never escape from his grasp in this lifetime.
• "Alright, if you want me, I'll give myself to you. I just want to see how capable you really are."
• Lu Mianxin couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention. Every time she saw him, her heart would ache as if it were being torn apart.
• She covered her heart and turned away.
• She was truly afraid of hearing more outrageous words. It felt like her heart would tear apart and die.
• As she watched his tall and slender figure, Qiao Yechen's eyes gradually dimmed.
• Perhaps... he would never see that innocent smile that was only meant for him again in this lifetime.
• He took out a cigarette box from his pocket, lit one against the car door, and took a deep drag. But no matter how many he smoked, he couldn't get rid of the frustration in his heart.
• One after another, he smoked, and before long, half of the pack was gone.
• It wasn't until his phone rang from his suit pocket that he snapped back to reality.
• When he saw the caller ID, the gloom in his eyes dissipated little by little.
• He immediately pressed the answer button, and the sound of a woman crying, tender and pitiful, came through the receiver, making his heart ache.
• "Yechen, I'm so sad. I had another dream about that day just now, wuwuwu..."
• Qiao Yechen's face immediately showed concern. "Sitan, it was just a dream. It's all in the past, that person is already gone."
• "But I'm still so scared, Yechen, can you come and accompany me? Every time I close my eyes, all I see are those nightmares... wuwuwu..."
• Qiao Yechen immediately threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, opened the car door, and got in. "Alright, I'm coming right now."
• Lu Mianxin walked into the corridor and leaned against the dilapidated wall, making sure Qiao Yechen couldn't see her, finally letting herself collapse.
• Tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.
• Why... why did he treat her like this...
• Her heart hurt so much... why was fate so cruel to her? Why did she have to encounter such things? Why... wuwuwu...
• At this moment, one of the doors opened, and an old lady in her seventies walked out.
• The old lady had a pair of reading glasses on her face and looked at Lu Mianxin with confusion. "Young girl, what's wrong with you?"
• Seeing Lu Mianxin's age, the old lady guessed that she was probably not even twenty years old.
• Suddenly, she remembered that the college entrance examination results were released these days, and many people didn't get into their desired schools and were crying at home!
• Their relative's child failed the exam and didn't get into a university. They've been crying at home recently.
• Thinking of this, the old lady couldn't help but sympathize with the young girl in front of her.
• "Did you also not do well in the college entrance examination? It's just an exam, not the end of the world. If you didn't get into a university, you can repeat a year or go to a vocational school. There's still a chance to upgrade to a university. Life has many turning points, not just this one. Always think positively."
• Lu Mianxin wiped her tears and forced a faint smile. She had always been competitive and had a strong sense of self-esteem. She didn't like to show weakness or cry in front of others, even if she suffered greatly. She would choose to cry and endure it secretly, never letting others see her weak side.
• But after experiencing various setbacks, the appearance of this old lady and her comforting words inexplicably warmed her heart.
• At least, during her most painful moments, even her own parents had never said a comforting word to her. Instead, they had sent her into the gates of hell with their own hands.
• Lu Mianxin forced a bitter smile and said to the old lady, "Grandma, you misunderstood. I didn't do poorly in the college entrance examination. I got into Fudan University."
• A hint of surprise flashed through the old lady's eyes. After all, it was rare for someone to be able to get into such a prestigious university. At least, none of the children of her relatives and friends had ever gotten into such a good university.
• The old lady couldn't help but look at Lu Mianxin with admiration, and a smile appeared on her face.
• "Young girl, I didn't expect your academic performance to be so good. Since you've already gotten into such a good university, why are you crying alone? Did someone bully you?"
• Lu Mianxin shook her head. How could she tell the old lady about her experiences?
• After all, it would only be more embarrassing if she said it out loud.
• Originally, she had planned to seek help from her teachers or classmates, but later she realized that she was no match for Qiao Yechen. A person with such power and influence could easily destroy someone completely, just like crushing an ant.
• She didn't want to harm those who cared about her, so she could only choose to gamble and gain a new life. Or perhaps she would never escape from that cage in this lifetime.
• "I'm fine, there's just something going on at home, so..."
• She didn't know how to continue her sentence.
• The old lady comforted her a few more times and said she had something to do, then ran upstairs and returned to her dormitory.
• At this time, there were almost no people awake in the dormitory. After all, they all worked night shifts, and many of them only came back when it was already dawn. So most of them slept during the day and went to work at night.
• Lu Mianxin quietly returned to her room. Li Zhenzhen was still sound asleep.
• Hearing the sound, she slowly opened her eyes and rubbed them. When she saw Lu Mianxin return, she greeted her.
• "You're back."
• Lu Mianxin's tears had already stopped, but her eyes were still swollen and red. It was obvious that she had been crying.
• Seeing her like this, Li Zhenzhen couldn't help but worry. She immediately sat up from her bed. Worried, she asked, "Mianmian, did you cry? You went out with that Ling Shao last night. Did he do something perverted to you? They say that rich people have some strange hobbies."
• Lu Mianxin forced a smile and walked to her own bed. Her voice was hoarse, and she had no strength left. Speaking was weak, as if all her strength had been used to resist Qiao Yechen.
• "Nothing happened last night. Ling Shao just took me out for a drink. I drank too much and ended up staying outside for the night."
• Li Zhenzhen seemed a little incredulous. "Really? Ling Shao spent so much money to buy your first time, and he didn't do anything? Isn't that a waste?"
• At the mention of this, Lu Mianxin's cheeks flushed.
• After all, she hadn't experienced such things before, and she was still naive in many aspects. When it came to matters between men and women, she was always a bit shy and embarrassed. Although she knew she couldn't avoid it in the future and would have to become like those women, at least for now, she couldn't take that step in her heart. Perhaps when that layer of innocence was completely gone, she would become the person she hated.
