Chapter 17:
Later, he left again.
There was only me left at home.
Whenever I closed my eyes, I would go back to that day.
The burnt skin rotted away bit by bit in the summer.
It would be better to die.
But I didn't die.
It was Zhou Wei again.
A strange phone call came, a familiar female voice apologized for bothering, and rambled on about unrelated things, pretending to be relaxed, trying to cover up something.
So I exposed it directly.
"Why are you calling me?" She hesitated for a moment.
Suddenly stammering, unable to form a complete sentence.
For a long time, it felt like mustering up courage.
"Don't die." "Jiang Zhe." "I'm afraid, I'm afraid that you'll commit suicide, that's why I wrote down your number..." I didn't expect her to be so straightforward.
The words were scorching.
They burned my eyes, causing unbearable pain.
I could hear her breathing in the room, nervous and hesitant.
I saw the blood flowing on the table, dropping onto the floor and forming a few plum blossoms, reflecting a cold light from the knife.
Finally, I said, "Okay." "Help me call an ambulance."
