I took out my phone and opened Douyin; that girl had updated her content.
"My boss asked me to go on a business trip to Star City on my birthday."
"That's so sad."
"But considering the high salary, I reluctantly forgive him."
Comments:
"Sister, your boss is really nice to you."
"Ahhhhh, I'm so envious."
"Sister, you should cherish your blessings."
I tightened my grip on the phone.
Chen Weidong, have you forgotten?
You said you would never abandon me.
Just like my parents never abandoned me.
Actually, I grew up without a mother.
My dad was an alcoholic; when I was one year old, he abandoned me and my mom.
But when he wasn't drinking, I could really feel that he loved me.
He would braid my hair, dress me in princess dresses, and cook delicious food for me.
But when he drank, I was very scared.
He would hit me and push me to the ground; no matter how much I cried and shouted, he wouldn't stop.
Yet after he sobered up, he would hold me and say, "Xuanbao, Daddy loves you."
"Xuanbao, Daddy will never abandon you."
At that time, I was very foolish.
I clung to that little warmth, to that breath of life.
I didn't want to escape or run away.
I thought I would always live in such an environment.
I thought I would slowly grow up in this painful yet joyful environment. However, everything changed in my second year of middle school. My dad developed a gambling addiction. He lost our house and used me as a stake, losing me to others.
Soon, a group of tattooed men stormed into the school. In front of everyone, they shouted my name. "Where is Li Xuan?" "Where is Li Xuan?" "Come out, your father lost you to us."
Before long, the news spread throughout the school. Everyone's gaze towards me changed. Those unfamiliar classmates threw paper balls at me. "Homewrecker." "Slut." "You're just as cheap as your mother."
I had no friends; I was isolated by everyone. The entire school avoided me as if I were something filthy. I stood in the corner of the playground, crying my heart out. I didn't understand why everyone wanted to hurt me. I didn't understand what I had done wrong.
At that moment, Chen Weidong appeared behind me and gently patted my shoulder. I looked up, and the glaring sunlight cast a halo around him. He said, "Xuanbao, don't cry. Come home with me tonight." "Xuanbao, my home is your home."
Chen Weidong took me to his home. He persuaded his uncle and aunt to let me stay. Given my situation—having lost my guardian, a father who was addicted to alcohol, and debts from gambling—it was really hard to resolve. However, his uncle and aunt used legal means to provide me with a home. They gave me warmth, allowing me to study peacefully. Later, I was admitted to a key high school. Chen Weidong and I became the best partners. I ranked first in our grade, and he ranked second.
One evening, when Chen Weidong returned home, I pretended to be casual and said, "Chen Weidong, what will we do if we get tired of each other?" His hand paused while pouring water into a cup. "Xuanbao, what do you mean?" "Li Xuan, are you tired of me?" I shook my head and said, "After being together for so long, will I forget my original intentions?" Chen Weidong didn't answer. He told me not to overthink.
The moment the door closed behind him, I collapsed onto the sofa uncontrollably. Tears fell silently. I couldn't help but think about scenes of Chen Weidong with others. Just the thought of him doing things with someone else that he once did with me made my heart feel like it was being squeezed by someone, causing pain that made it hard to breathe yet impossible to release.
