墨書 Inktalez
When I woke up in the hospital, Lu Ruijun looked haggard as he sat by my bedside.
"Did you send someone to kill my white moonlight?"
His pained expression made me laugh.
"Lu Ruijun, Jiang Yanzhou brought this upon himself."
Lu Ruijun's fingers tightened, the veins on the back of his hand bulging: "Xu Yuezhu, you are truly cruel."
Yes.
I wished for her death.
I have lived for twenty-two years and possess very little.
All my shortcomings stem from my father.
He climbed up from the bottom and reached the position of The Head of the Canglan City Government.
But after my mother passed away, my father poured all his passion into work.
He neglected to care for me, which left me lacking true familial love.
So, I have known since childhood that only by being willful could I attract my father's attention.
Only by being willful could I gain more attention and love.
At eighteen, I acted recklessly at Lu Ruijun's house and almost caused harm to his older brother's son.
My father punished me by making me kneel for three days.
Lu Ruijun felt sorry for me and brought me water and food.
With red eyes, he said to me, " Yuezhu, don't be afraid; I will always be with you."
I threw myself into his arms, crying sadly: "Ruijun, you're all I have."
Lu Ruijun held me and gently patted my back: "Don't be afraid; I will always be with you."
That year, my feelings for Lu Ruijun underwent a qualitative change.
From childhood to now, Lu Ruijun and I were seen as the model Childhood Sweethearts by everyone.
Every step of my growth has involved him. He celebrated my first birthday, gave me my first flower, and organized my first coming-of-age ceremony... When I had my first period, he was the first to notice. He took off his jacket and tied it around my waist, then took me to a nearby convenience store. Blushing, he said to me, " Yuezhu, wait for me here."
Five minutes later, he returned with a plastic bag and handed it to me: "You can change in the bathroom." I opened the bag and saw that it contained sanitary pads. At that moment, I thought that if I could marry Lu Ruijun, I would probably be very happy.
As time went on, I grew fonder of him. I firmly believed that we would be together. So when Jiang Yanzhou appeared before me, I felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. She was a tutor who came to my house to teach me classical literature. She was incredibly beautiful, with a beauty that seemed somewhat melancholic. Her fair oval face was framed by a pair of pitiful peach blossom eyes. Dressed in white, with her black hair cascading down to her waist, she resembled an orchid in a secluded valley.
The moment I saw her, a strong sense of jealousy surged within me. I glanced at Lu Ruijun. He was staring at Jiang Yanzhou, his eyes fixated on her. I stomped my foot in frustration and glared at him fiercely. Only then did Lu Ruijun snap back to reality and look away. I pulled him aside and whispered threateningly, "Lu Ruijun, if you don't want to marry me, I'll tell my dad that you're bullying me."
Lu Ruijun smiled wryly, " Yuezhu, you know very well..."
"I don't know!" I interrupted him angrily. "Lu Ruijun, you'd better not let me find out what you did to her."
Lu Ruijun sighed and rubbed my head. " Yuezhu, I won't do anything, you can rest assured."
Only then did I feel relieved. However, I still felt quite uncomfortable.
That night, I invited Lu Ruijun to my house for dinner. In front of him, I untied my shoelaces and kicked my shoes towards him. "Brother Ruijun, help me tie my shoelaces."
Lu Ruijun was taken aback, his cheeks turning red. He bent down and carefully tied my shoelaces.
I watched his handsome profile, my heart racing. I deliberately asked him to tie my shoelaces to make him understand that the person he liked was me, not Jiang Yanzhou. I wanted him to remember that he could only be mine.
