Siwan was also startled. She opened the door, wearing her pajamas. Seeing the situation, she understood and became anxious. "Wen Sier, I knew you had a big mouth and couldn't keep a secret. I shouldn't have let you get involved in the first place!"
Si'er pounded on Siwan, "Quickly drag Aheng back! It's the middle of the night, what if something happens to her..."
Siwan, who was internally injured from being punched, also stomped downstairs. She grabbed Aheng from behind and said coldly, "Stop fooling around and go back to your room. Grandpa and Mom will be woken up soon."
Ah Heng grabbed Si Wan's arm and bit her hard.
Siwan winced in pain and let go. Aheng opened the door while holding the box, but Siwan got angry, knocked the box out of Aheng's hands, and yelled, "Wenheng, what the hell are you doing?"
Then, he grabbed Ah Heng and tried to drag her back.
Ah Heng pounded Si Wan's arm hard, her shoe hitting the floor so hard it almost twisted.
Siwan dragged her along, ignoring her, and walked towards the living room.
Her long hair was spread across her face, and she looked like a crazy child, trying to pry Siwan's hand away, leaving a bloody mark on the corner of her lip.
Siwan was furious. She tightened her grip on her shoulder, ignored her, and strode forward.
Upon reaching the stairs, Ah Heng, who had been struggling, suddenly quieted down, lowered her head, and loosened her grip on her hands and feet.
Siwan didn't feel anything at first, but in an instant, she felt something hot brush against her hand.
He froze, stopped in his tracks, and looked down as large drops of liquid fell onto his hands.
She spoke softly, "Let me go, Wen Siwan, please. You may be shameless, but I still have my pride."
How splendid the Wen family was, how noble the Wen family was, yet they gnawed at whose spine, leaving who could never stand up again.
Her face was contorted, she suppressed her sobs, her voice so low and hoarse it was almost impossible to utter a sound.
Si Wan was stunned and let go.
He turned around, looked at Si'er standing on the stairs, and said, "Call Yan hope and ask him to come over."
Si'er stood there dumbfounded, not reacting at all.
Siwan yelled, "I told you to fucking call Yan hope and tell him to come to the Wen family!!!"
Si'er was frightened and ran back to her room.
Ah Heng picked up the suitcase on the ground, lowered his head and said, "Just take good care of Mom and Grandpa. Do whatever you want with them."
Siwan's eyes welled with tears. He pleaded in a low voice, "Aheng, I beg you, please listen to me, just this once, just this once. Our family has endured so many years of hardship. If you leave, we'll truly be broken. Mom will be so happy to see you by her side..."
Ah Heng wiped her tears with the back of her hand and said, "I'm begging you, please stop flattering me. As long as you have money and power, the Wen family will never fall apart."
She opened the door without hesitation, then closed it. Siwan, however, stood in the living room, pulling at her hair, and began to cry.
Ah Heng walked in the garden; it was late at night, and the place was deserted.
Not far away, there was a bright light, dazzling in the darkness.
She squinted as she stood under the tree, watching the red Faraday speed past.
A slender figure sat in the driver's seat, wearing a black jacket and with black hair.
Her chin has become more pointed, and her eyes have become bigger.
She turned around, dragging her luggage, and walked away from him.
This is, in the end, the weathered past, which taught his eyes to utterly destroy her world, her seemingly clean and pure life.
************************ Divider ***********************
When I returned to school, my life became regular again.
I've made an appointment with Mr. Li to study French every Thursday and Saturday afternoon.
Now that we're in our fifth year, the courses are more practical. Apart from a few students who stay in the school labs, most of the other medical students have arranged hospital internships.
The French research institute's exam is scheduled for November and generally consists of three parts: basic French, medical principles, and a research paper on the 2003 SARS virus transmission.
The last question was set by Mr. Li. The students in the academy who ran away at the last minute were furious, while those who didn't go suffered in silence, secretly cursing Mr. Li for being biased. They thought that even if he wanted to promote his favorite student, he shouldn't be so unfair.
One question wasn't worth three or two points, it was worth a full thirty! As a result, the number of people in the library searching for information and writing papers increased several times over. The students who had stayed behind to look at Ah Heng and the others were also unhappy with the way they were being treated, and they gathered around behind him, saying all sorts of things.
Finally, the class monitor, Little Fatty, got angry and said, "Did anyone stop you guys from going? You guys who didn't want to go didn't want to go, and you guys who were pretending to be grandsons were pretending to be grandsons. But now you're all jumping around like zombies on the Ghost Festival."
Feeling awkward and embarrassed, everyone scattered like birds and beasts.
Aheng didn't mind and focused on learning French and studying pharmacology. Apart from her, none of the other girls in the dorm had any intention of going abroad. The counselor contacted them, and they went to do an internship at the affiliated hospital of Z University, working shifts day and night, so they were basically never seen.
Two months later, everyone had lost weight.
Ah Heng felt sorry for them, so she bought a pot and cooked soup for them in the dormitory. As for the angelica, codonopsis and red dates, she shamelessly borrowed them from the pharmacy lab. A group of second-year students in the lab would laugh when they saw her, "Hey, senior, you're stealing our lab equipment again."
Ah Heng = =, cough, I'm borrowing, I'm just borrowing.
Professor Zhu, the pharmacy teacher, who used to teach Aheng, laughed and pinched the child's ear, saying, "You're trying to take advantage of me now. You're a grown woman in your twenties, and you still can't let go of your shame."
Ah Heng stuffed a few pieces of angelica and codonopsis into her white coat, pouted, and said, "Teacher Zhu, it hurts, it hurts."
Professor Zhu laughed and scolded, "Get lost, little girl. Don't forget to treat your teacher, Zhu, to a good meal before you go abroad."
Ah Heng chuckled, rubbing her ears, and said okay.
She hadn't seen Yun in a long time. Although he made excuses about not having time because of studying, a shadow had been hanging over her ever since Aheng saw his calligraphy, which he had been practicing for more than half a year.
A stack of Xuan paper, the handwriting is exactly the same as hers, even the flawed strokes at the end of the strokes are exactly the same as hers.
When asked to rewrite it, he filled the page with Ah Heng's name.
She didn't want her parents to be gossiped about for adopting an ungrateful daughter who was even capable of incest and seducing her younger brother.
So she said, "I'm too busy to cook for you, Jaejae, I'm sorry."
The boy left her with a clean, clear silhouette, his cloud-like eyes still smiling.
His expression, however, was blank.
At the end of October, Xin Dayi drove to Z University.
Da Yi said, "Aheng, let's talk."
Ah Heng laughed, "You don't come here so easily. What would you like to eat? West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce? How about I take you to eat by West Lake?"
He gave a wry smile. "Ah Heng, I didn't come here to eat..."
Or would you rather go boating, have tea, and buy souvenirs?
Ah Heng...
Are you here to buy a house in H City? House prices in H City have been rising recently, so buying one would be a good deal.
Da Yi, however, looked distressed and said, "Little Miss, I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept it from you. I confess. I was wrong, Ah Heng. I've never been right."
Ah Heng raised her eyes and smiled, tu es bete.
Da Yi was dumbfounded. What? What is this?
Ah Heng said, "I'm praising you, praising you in French."
Fool.
Da Yi wiped away her tears and said, "Please don't praise me anymore. Just give me a chance to explain properly to you."
Ah Heng, however, walked to the side path, bought him a bottle of hot coffee from the school store, handed it to him, and said, "Try it, everyone at our school loves to drink this."
Oh, well, it tastes really good, much better than Winsler's... Ugh, that's not it, don't interrupt, little miss, can I have a word?
Da Yi's eyebrows were furrowed into a furrow, and his face turned bright red.
Ah Heng smiled, sat on the horizontal bar in the playground, and kindly pulled Da Yi up as well, saying, "Okay, you tell me."
Da Yi said, "This story goes back to the year before last. I had just started a construction company and asked Yan hope to do some publicity. Then, you know, Yan hope didn't answer your calls for a while. I told you he had a fever, but actually, he had just been discharged from the hospital."
Previously, on the first day of our company's work, the construction team had just taken a few pictures of his back when he suddenly covered his ears and fainted.
Ah Heng gulped down her coffee, the red can steaming. She lowered her eyebrows, fiddling with the pull tab, turning it left and right, her expression unreadable.
Da Yi looked at A Heng and said with a forced smile, "Let's take him to the hospital. The doctor said that Yan hope has completely lost hearing in his left ear, and his hearing in his right ear is also gradually declining. He also said that in the end, he will be completely deaf."
She turned it around and finally managed to pry off the pull tab, her fingers turning slightly red from the pressure.
He said, "I've been wondering if it was caused by the excessive noise from the construction site. The doctor told me it was latent, and the noise was just a contributing factor." Checking Yanxi's previous medical records, it turned out that he was too close to the explosion site back then, which had already caused ear problems. He often experienced sudden tinnitus, but he never told us. We... none of us knew... The result...
As a result, Yan hope woke up and locked himself in the house for several days, smashing everything he could. When he finally came out, he asked me to do him a favor.
I hated myself for hurting Yanxi and slapped myself. But Yanxi kept repeating to me, "Dayi, I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life. Please help me."
Then, he asked me to keep it a secret from you. He said he would disappear after fulfilling your wish. He kept telling me that if Aheng knew I was sick again, she would cause trouble again. Really, I'm afraid she would turn against the whole world.
He laughed, saying that one bout of hysteria was enough.
He told me that he keeps having dreams about having a deaf child, Dayi, with Aheng. He keeps dreaming about it.
As Da Yi spoke, she burst into tears. "Aheng, hit me! I'm the one who ruined Yan hope like this. Hit me as hard as you can!"
He grabbed Aheng's hand and splashed the coffee on his face. The coffee can in Aheng's hand wobbled, and the brown liquid splashed onto his pants, soaking into the fibers and burning him.
Strangely, it didn't hurt at all.
She said, "Xin Dayi, are you even a man? You started crying when you were seventeen or eighteen, and you still haven't changed."
Helpless, I took my sleeve and rubbed it against the man's eye.
Da Yi said, "Damn it, I don't want to cry either. I ruined someone's marriage. In my next life, I'll probably be a pig or a dog, and you two will stew me."
Ah Heng chuckled and said, "I'll remember what you look like in my next life so I can take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days. I promise I won't stew you, okay?"
Da Yi felt awkward. "I feel like I'm the one involved, and you're acting like an outsider."
Ah Heng said, "Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a person who was born, and then died and was buried in a small box."
What's the key point about the Da Yi black line?
Ah Heng laughed, "Alone, oh, the key point is, alone."
This is beyond comprehension for the Da Yi people, so what is it?
Ah Heng said, "So, in the end, everyone ends up in a box. I'm at odds with the world because of him. If I really had a deaf child with bad genes with him, I could be justified in sharing a box with him. But what am I, Da Yi? Da Yi, what do you think I am?"
What am I? Holding my own box, I lived, I died, and I was buried.
