She is truly my best friend. No matter what I do, as long as I decide, she supports me and will do her best to help me.
If only she weren't a woman, I would definitely marry her without hesitation, and there wouldn't be any issues with Xiao Minxing, right?
However, just thinking about this person made me restless at her house. I grabbed my phone, took my bag, and walked out.
When I reached the entrance, Mina chased after me and said, "Don't force yourself. If he makes things difficult for you, just come out. You have my house key; you can stay anytime."
I was extremely touched and looked at her with teary eyes. Before I could say anything, she hugged me and said, "Alright, I know you're not offering yourself to me; you're just advising me to find someone to marry quickly. No need to say that; hurry back."
By the time the car drove into the Xiao Family residence, it was already past eleven at night. My gaze instinctively turned to the second floor, which was dark. I couldn't tell if Xiao Minxing was already asleep or if she hadn't returned yet.
As soon as I pushed open the door, a chill swept over me, and I looked around.
Under the living room lights, Xiao Minxing sat straight in a corner of the sofa, glaring at me with fierce eyes. Her face was almost ashen, displaying unreserved ferocity and rage, and her tone was as cold as ice.
"Mrs. Xiao, impressive! You've learned to run away from home now!"
My heart tightened painfully; my lips moved but ultimately I didn't say a word.
In fact, saying anything to her now would be useless. Her anger would never lessen because of my explanations; instead, the more I spoke, the angrier she would become.
Thinking of this, I turned and walked upstairs.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Minxing suddenly jumped up from the sofa, grabbing me as if he were about to explode, his eyes blazing with fury: "What? Are you mute?"
My heart trembled as I looked at the person in front of me in terror.
This wasn't the first time I had seen him like this; I knew all too well how serious the consequences could be. The bag in my hand fell to the ground with a loud thud due to his shaking.
He didn't relax at all, gripping my arm with one hand while the other had already seized my chin, forcefully lifting my entire head to meet his furious face: "Speak."
At that moment, an inexplicable emotion surged within me, perhaps a survival instinct.
I was afraid he might actually choke me to death, so I struggled to pry his hand away.
However, the difference in strength was overwhelming, and with him in such a rage, I couldn't budge him even a little. In the end, I had no choice but to give up and muttered from my throat: "I went to Mina's house; my phone is broken."
He let out a cold laugh: "You're quite the professional liar. Can a broken phone still make calls?"
I was already terrified and just wanted to escape from his grip, so I followed his lead: "The screen is cracked; it can connect but can't receive calls."
This lie would be exposed as soon as he picked up my phone; I must have been scared silly to say something like that.
Thank goodness, he finally loosened his grip and glanced coldly at my bag, saying: "Change your clothes and make me dinner."
Panicking, I bent down to grab my bag from the floor and ran upstairs. Once in my room, I took several deep breaths. When my mind finally caught up, without thinking twice, I grabbed my phone and smashed it on the ground into pieces.
I felt an immense sadness inside, as if I had entered a bizarre cycle woven from lies. For different purposes, I began to tell one lie after another, knowing the outcome would be terrifying. Yet in this situation, not lying would be even more frightening.
Even Mina said, "Anan, you may look incredibly fragile, but deep down you hide immense strength. When you decide to do something, you not only disregard the consequences but also become unstoppable."
Of course, she didn't know how difficult my journey was right now. It wasn't that I didn't want to turn back; it was that there was no way back.
