They deliberately acted intimate in front of me, intentionally provoking me in this way. And indeed, I was provoked by them. I wished I could rush over and tear their faces apart, drink their blood. But I had no way to do that. I was trapped in this dark little room, like a dead dog. My fingers were swollen, and even the slightest movement caused excruciating pain. I was afraid, afraid that I would never be able to touch the piano again. Afraid that all my efforts over the past three years would be in vain. Afraid that I would never fulfill my mother's wish. There were too many things I feared.
In these past few days, Ma Zhiqiang's attitude towards me had completely changed. He no longer had the patience to pretend in front of me. He would directly dump leftover food into a dog bowl and then watch me eat like a dog on the floor. To survive, to be able to see the day they are punished, I had almost given up all my dignity. My self-esteem, my pride, my stubbornness, my sharp edges—all worn down clean by Ma Zhiqiang over the course of three days. I thought I would never feel rebellious again.
Until three days later, Ma Zhiqiang and Cui Yongjuan came to the storage room dressed glamorously. Cui Yongjuan smiled brightly and said, "Sister, I've finished my competition and I'm going to hold a celebration banquet."
"You, as the older sister, not showing up, will make others think our sisterly relationship is bad."
"Then there will be a bunch of people chattering, it's really annoying."
I raised my crimson eyes to look at the golden couple in front of me.
Cui Yongjuan was wearing a red long dress, radiant and stunning.
Ma Zhiqiang was impeccably dressed in a suit, full of vigor.
They stood in the light, like a pair of angels.
And I, reeking and buried in darkness, felt like a maggot in hell.
I was in a miserable state while they were flourishing.
I lived in despair while they achieved success.
I was numb with pain while they smiled brightly.
All my misfortunes were brought about by them.
I hated them, hated them to madness.
I wanted them dead.
Even if it cost me my life,
I would drag them down to hell with me!
On the television, the competition replayed.
My piece was performed by Cui Yongjuan.
My eyes were bloodshot,
and I crazily smashed everything in the villa into pieces.
My fingers were swollen and throbbing; even a light touch sent sharp pain through me.
I didn't dare go to the hospital; I feared the doctor would tell me that my fingers were ruined and I would never play the piano again.
I felt like a coward, lacking even the courage to go to the hospital.
At that moment, Cui Yongjuan arrived. She looked at the mess on the floor, her brows furrowed.
"Sister, this is a day for me to celebrate my achievements; you should be happy," she said.
"Why are you throwing such a big tantrum?"
"With you acting like this, how can I and Zhiqiang feel at ease together?"
"After all, you are supposed to be my bridesmaid at our wedding."
I glared at her with bloodshot eyes, wishing I could tear her apart.
"Cui Yongjuan, you deserve to die!"
"I'll kill you!"
I roared as I charged at her. But Cui Yongjuan gently sidestepped, avoiding me. Due to inertia, I fell heavily to the ground.
Cui Yongjuan immediately showed a hurt expression, tears welling up in her eyes as she spoke:
"Sister, I know you hate me and want to take revenge on me. You can hit me or scold me; I won't retaliate. But could you please not hit me when Zhiqiang isn't around? Otherwise, if Zhiqiang sees it, he'll be heartbroken."
The next second, Ma Zhiqiang's voice rang out behind me. He sternly scolded, "Cui Yongmei! What are you doing?"
He quickly walked up to Cui Yongjuan, protecting her in his arms and glaring coldly at me.
