The contours of his face began to gradually become more distinct. In the past, he was dark and small, and did not think his features were attractive. However, as time passed, he seemed to have completely transformed into another person. At thirteen or fourteen years old, he had already become a handsome young man, standing out on the island. The girls envied that he was more good-looking than they were, and their humiliation towards him only increased.
In the past, he was only allowed to wear women's clothing inside the villa, but later, he was directly made to wear women's clothing while moving around the island.
The island already had more monks than resources, and with his delicate skin and soft features, he quickly caught people's attention. At that time, because he was perceived as a girl, as long as he maintained that image, others would still be somewhat cautious around him. However, everything changed after that incident...
Mong Si I don't know if it's because I've been acting so differently today that I've been reminded of the past. He tightened his grip on the documents, forcing himself to forget his past experiences. But some things, the more he tries to forget, the more they haunt him like a nightmare, clinging to him. No matter how hard he struggles, they pull him in like quicksand. Just like now, as he tries to focus on the documents, those painful memories tear at him like a wild beast, causing him agony like maggots on a bone, dragging him back into those painful memories once again.
She still remembers that day when the weather was clear and a boat from outside was approaching. The girl was about the same age as Mong Si, having been trapped on a small island since childhood. The people she saw most often were the islanders, tanned and skinny like skeletons, along with the brightly colored poppy flowers. She knew that Mong Si had come from outside the island, and she had asked Mong Si about the world beyond.
Mong Si, at such a young age, had already experienced life and death several times. He knew that in order to survive, he had to leave the small island.
To fulfill this wish, he painted a vivid picture of the outside world: tall buildings, bustling traffic, countless delicious foods, amusement parks...
The girl was born on the island and had never left it.
In her eyes, the island is the best place, and with Mong Si's words, a world she has never seen slowly unfolds before her. She longs to go outside and see the world beyond the island. The girl has begged her parents to take her off the island.
Due to the special status of the girl's parents, they believe that staying on the island is the safest option, and they refuse her request to leave. The girl, however, is determined and plans to sneak onto an incoming ship when her parents are not paying attention, hoping to leave the island with them. Since it is her first time leaving the island, she knows she cannot do it alone and must find a guide to help her.
Mong Si grew up offshore, making him the best candidate. He also wanted to leave the island as soon as possible, and on the surface, he persuaded the girl not to take risks. The girl had been raised under her parents' pampering since childhood; she was fearless and did not take Mong Si's words to heart, taking him aboard the ship.
There are people on the boat.
The people on the boat are all engaged in some risky business, and they are much more alert than ordinary people.
When Mong Si and the girl approached the boat, they had already been discovered.
They didn't act at first. After they thought they had hidden well, they took the person out and brought them in front of the girl's parents. The girl is the apple of her parents' eyes. If she makes a mistake, her parents won't punish her. Mong Si was in a sorry state, being beaten up by the bodyguards and thrown back to the place where he used to work as a laborer.
Without the protection of the girl, and dressed in women's clothing, he was exceptionally beautiful, even more so than most girls. When people saw him like this, they couldn't suppress their evil thoughts anymore.
He was beaten up by the bodyguards, unable to resist, and was left at their mercy.
That memory, like images from his childhood, cut into his soul like a knife, making him wish for death.
The situation has developed to this point, struggling to survive, seeking revenge when the opportunity arises, has become his last belief to keep living. During the time he spent with the girl, besides studying piano together and pretending to her parents, he also found some books in that small building. He learned some knowledge through self-study. At that time, this knowledge was of no use to him. What he needs to do now is to find a way to escape the clutches of those around him.
But now he is not allowed to get close to the girl, he can only wait for the opportunity. Perhaps it's because he has been with the girl for a long time, and after he left, the girl became dependent on him. Or maybe it's because he was more obedient in front of her and would talk about things she didn't know. Since he's not around her anymore, she has come to look for him several times. Once, she caught a man getting close to him, and in a fit of anger, she took care of the person.
Ignoring the opposition of her parents, she kept him by her side.
Her actions did not show care for him, but rather a sense of anger at having a personal possession occupied by someone else.
She said he was dirty, disregarding his numerous injuries, and had someone hold him down while he was washed back and forth in the seawater several times.
The seawater contained salt, and he had wounds on his body. He deeply understood what it meant to have salt rubbed into a wound; the pain was such that just thinking about it would cause his whole body to spasm, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
From the moment she brought him back, she treated him worse than a pig or a dog. The only thing he felt fortunate about was that those men no longer dared to lay their hands on him.
He had lived on the island for several years, and those experiences taught him that to live with dignity, one must respond to violence with violence.
The people on the island are ruthless, and he must be even more ruthless than them. Once he realized this, whenever others bullied him, he would fight back like a crazed beast, engaging in brawls with them. It was a matter of survival; no one could expect to live without being fierce.
After a few times, no one dared to easily hurt him. Perhaps the girl found him interesting like this, throwing him in front of a shark, luckily he survived several times without dying, although he was seriously injured, he recovered after some care. Over the years of training, his skills improved, he read more books, and understood more.
He relied on his own abilities to become friends with the bodyguards of the island owner and the girl. He helped those who were bullied on the island and made friends with them, gradually becoming well-liked by everyone.
Due to his good looks and skills, he gradually gained the favor of the island owner, who began to trust him more. The women on the island also started to take a liking to him. Every time the girl saw those women looking at him with admiration, she would get so angry that she would give him a good scolding.
On the island, there are three people you cannot offend, and the girl is one of them. Despite being a head and a half taller than her and much more skilled, he dared not retaliate when she struck him. No matter how much he hated her in his heart, he could only stand there like a wooden post, allowing the whip in her hand to lash against him repeatedly, leaving his skin torn and bleeding.
After she finished venting her frustrations, she would spit on the ground and call him her pet dog, declaring that he would have to stay by her side for the rest of his life!
