Chapter 791: The 7 Constellations of Professional Stuntmen (4)
Mrs. Shen stroked her son's soft hair and suddenly noticed that the bite mark on the back of his right hand had scabbed over.
She sighed: "She must be uncomfortable when she first arrived. You should take good care of her."
"Okay, Mom." Shen Zhirang responded obediently, but his eyes glanced towards the closed door on the fourth floor.
At this time, in the room on the fourth floor, Xiao Yuesheng was pounding on the door with all her strength.
Her nails scratched a few shallow marks on the door panel, and her voice was hoarse from crying: "Let me out... please..."
Finally she slid to the ground, hugging her knees and curling up into a small ball.
The moonlight shone through the gauze curtain, casting a small patch of silver at her feet, which looked very much like the lotus on her mother's cheongsam on her last night.
"Dad...Mom..." She buried her face in her knees, her thin shoulders trembling.
Tears soaked the hem of her skirt, leaving dark marks on the light-colored fabric.
Seven days later, Shen Zhirang untied his bow tie and jumped out of the car, rushing to the fourth floor without even putting down his schoolbag.
When he pushed open the door, he saw his "rabbit" lying on the bed, dying, his lips cracked and white skin peeling off, and his bright eyes were bloodshot.
"No one came to see her?" Shen Zhirang's voice suddenly rose.
Aunt Zhang rubbed her hands and came closer: "Master, you said..."
"Did I let you starve her to death?" Shen Zhirang suddenly grabbed the crystal glass on the bedside and smashed it to the ground, with the fragments splashing at Aunt Zhang's feet. "Get out!"
He leaned over and poked Xiao Yuesheng's hot cheek, "Stubborn rabbit, how did you get yourself like this?"
The lights in the hospital corridor were so bright that Xiao Yuesheng couldn't open her eyes.
In a trance, she returned to the afternoon when she learned the news of her parents' death.
When the smell of disinfectant penetrated her nose, she suddenly grabbed Shen Zhirang's sleeve tightly: "Take me away... I'll be obedient... You can tell me to do anything..."
Shen Zhirang's eyes lit up, like a child who had discovered a new toy.
He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "If it happens again, we'll have to stay in the hospital for a month."
After returning to the Shen residence, little Yuesheng's life became an exquisite cage.
At 7 o'clock every morning, the maid would bring her matching dresses; she had to eat the food Shen Zhirang specified for lunch; and the lights were turned off at 8 o'clock in the evening. The most terrifying thing was the surveillance camera on the desk, which recorded her every move at any time.
"Sister, you must finish your milk today." The first thing Shen Zhirang did when he came home from school was to check her plate.
When he found that there was half a cup left, he immediately picked up the phone and shook it, "Or... do you want to go back to the hospital?"
Xiao Yuesheng held up the cup tremblingly, and the milky white liquid reflected her pale face.
She didn't see the excitement flashing in Shen Zhirang's eyes, and she didn't know that there was a diary locked in his desk drawer. The latest page read:
"My rabbit was very well behaved today. I'll teach her new rules tomorrow."
Winter goes and spring comes, and in the blink of an eye it is summer again.
The cicadas' hoarse chirping pierced through the midsummer heat. Little Yuesheng stood in the courtyard, the sunlight making her white dress almost transparent.
Shen Zhirang was playing with a few friends by the swimming pool. The water splashed on her feet, making her shiver.
"Remember to buy my favorite Hawaiian pizza." Shen Zhirang shook his wet hair, and water drops fell on Xiao Yuesheng's face, "Don't run around, sister."
He deliberately dragged out the last syllable of the sentence, causing his friends to make a noise.
"Okay, brother." Xiao Yuesheng raised the corners of her mouth in a perfect arc, and even the frequency of her eyelashes trembling seemed carefully calculated. When she turned around, she heard laughter behind her.
"Zhirang, your sister is more obedient than AI!"
Her nails dug deep into her palms, but she felt no pain.
The scene of Sister Cai being transferred three months ago came to her mind again - that day Sister Cai touched her head with red eyes and said "take care of yourself", and the next day she heard that she was transferred to a remote mountainous area.
"Miss, get in the car." Wang Bo opened the car door, his eyes following her like a shadow.
The scenery outside the car window quickly receded, and Xiao Yuesheng stared at his folded hands.
Mom and Dad used to say that she was a quick learner, but now she would rather not have this advantage!
These hands, once praised by her mother as "suitable for playing the guqin", had already learned to mechanically carry out Shen Zhirang's orders in just half a year.
She suddenly remembered how Shen Zhirang smiled and tore the pages of her diary into pieces when she was caught secretly writing "go to hell" on it last week.
The cold air of the pizza shop hit her in the face. Xiao Yuesheng mechanically repeated Shen Zhirang's request: "Hello, sister, a Hawaiian pizza, no green peppers, and double the cheese..."
As she said this, she stared towards the kitchen, imagining the chef mixing rat poison into the dough.
Poison him!
It would be best if the person vomits and dies to the point of being unable to die any more!
Suddenly, Xiao Yuesheng felt the corner of her clothes being gently pulled. She turned around and saw a crying little boy looking up at her: "Sister, I can't find my mother..."
The boy's red and swollen eyes were like a mirror, reminding her of herself crying in the past.
Xiao Yuesheng sniffed, squatted down, gently wiped away his tears with his fingertips, turned around and said, "Uncle Wang, can you help him contact his mother?"
Uncle Wang frowned, but still took out his phone and squatted down: "Little boy, do you remember your mother's phone number?"
The boy sobbed and reported a string of numbers, his little fingers nervously twisting the corner of his clothes.
Fifteen minutes later, a woman with big wavy hair and exaggerated sunglasses hurried over.
The perfume on her body was so strong that it was choking, and her diamond-studded nails sparkled in the sun.
"Baby!" She hugged the little boy, and he seemed a little unhappy again.
But before Xiao Yuesheng could get confused, she saw the exaggerated mother turned around and gave her an overly enthusiastic smile, "Thank you so much!"
Uncle Wang's cell phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at the caller ID and his expression immediately became respectful. It was Mr. Shen's call. Before walking away a few steps, he reminded Xiao Yuesheng: "Miss, wait here. Don't walk around."
Xiao Yuesheng nodded.
However, when Uncle Wang walked away, the woman suddenly grabbed Xiao Yuesheng's wrist.
"There's a great candy store up ahead," she lowered her voice, "Go up ahead with Auntie, and she'll definitely thank you very much."
Before Xiao Yuesheng could react, she was dragged forward a few steps. However, just as she reached the corner, a towel with a sweet smell suddenly covered her mouth and nose.
In the last moment before she lost consciousness, she heard the mother and son talking.
"Well done, the young lady of the Shen family is worth a lot of money! I'll let you go after I pay you!"
"Thank you so much..."
It turns out... I encountered a bad guy who caught children...
When the darkness surged in like a tide, Xiao Yuesheng actually felt a sense of relief.
In a trance, she seemed to see her father and mother waving at her at the end of the light, and the lotus on her mother's cheongsam was in full bloom.
