Chapter 6 Some pain must be returned tenfold 04
As a waiter, in addition to serving dishes, you are also responsible for washing a pile of bowls in the kitchen.
After working five days and soaking in too much cold water, my hands became swollen and ugly.
After get off work, I was curled up on the sofa applying ointment. July came in and saw me. She kicked off her high heels and threw a bag at me: "This is a reward for you."
I took the bag and saw a pearly white lace shirt inside. I looked at her disapprovingly and said, "You're wasting money."
"My sister got her salary today, I can't help but buy some for fun!" July poured herself a glass of water, walked to the coffee table, and turned on the TV to watch.
I stood up, compared my clothes to the mirror, and said to the person watching TV in the mirror, "Okay, as long as you are happy."
"Look at you, your delicate hands have turned into pig's trotters. You should quit your job as a waiter!" July picked up the ointment on the sofa, took a look at it, and complained.
"It's okay, you'll only have to wash dishes for a month." I comforted her.
In order to train new employees, the hotel will assign me some hard work in the early stage. I just need to endure it. I can still endure this kind of hardship. Seeing that I persisted, July did not say anything more.
She watched TV for a while and felt a little bored, so she took out a bag of pickled pepper and started to eat them. She licked her fingers from time to time and muttered, "I forgot to buy some wine! Chicken feet and beer, happiness is in my hands! Come on, be happy..." After mumbling, she sang happily.
I looked at her with a smile, put down the things in my hands, picked up my coin purse, and went to the entrance to change my shoes.
"Girl, what are you doing ? A date?" July asked, sucking her fingers and staring at me as I was about to go out.
"Yeah, go on your beer date. Wait for me, I'll be back soon." I squatted down, tied my shoelaces, answered her and walked out while closing the door.
"Long live tonight! Long live beer! Long live little August!" July inside the door was yelling crazily, like a little kid who never grew up.
I like to see July like this. She is free and unrestrained.
Outside, the night was quiet. I walked on the quiet road under the moonlight. The short alley in front of my house became lively when I came to the main road.
The night market stalls were set up, and under the large sheds surrounded by colorful strips of cloth on the street, there were groups of people drinking beer and eating skewers all along the long road.
I bought four bottles of beer and some snacks at the supermarket. On my way back, I saw more and more people eating supper on the roadside. When I passed a barbecue stall, someone seemed to be calling me. I shook my head and looked around, suspecting that I was hallucinating.
"Girl, damn, it's really you!" The voice came from behind.
I turned around and saw a person, and my heart suddenly fell straight into the abyss with a "boom", and I heard the sound of it shattering.
Xue Ye held a toothpick in his mouth and jumped in front of me. Behind him, three people with messy dyed hair, each holding a few sticks in their hands, blowing and eating.
"Wow, you're buying beer. I'm so happy." Xue Ye looked down and saw the bag in my hand and joked.
A trace of anger flashed in my eyes. I looked at the man in front of me with vicious eyes. I looked at the man who had messed up my life, destroyed my innocence, and escaped without a word. I sneered in my heart: Happy? Is he deceiving himself, or did I lose my memory? He was pretending, really well.
Xue Ye smiled gently, turned to look at his gang of friends, and asked gently: "Do you want to eat with us?"
My heart was so cold that it was uncontrollably cold. It was like eating the coldest food in the coldest weather, so cold that my entire chest was below zero degrees, but my mind was exceptionally clear, my heart was exceptionally numb, and I felt the pain so much that I could not feel it.
I no longer cared about anything. My messy hair was blown by the wind and my tears suddenly rolled down.
"Girl, what's wrong with you..." Xue Ye panicked and reached out to wipe my tears.
I pushed him away with all my strength and yelled angrily, "Don't touch me!"
Xue Ye, what are you doing? Why are you here in front of me? Haven't you insulted me enough?
I smiled bitterly indifferently, the wisps of green smoke from the charcoal fire beside me blew into my eyes, and the tears that came out were all bitter.
"What's wrong with your hands? Did you go to work?" When he saw my swollen hands, his eyes were full of heartache, which made me feel particularly ironic.
"What kind of job do you do to get yourself like this? Does your hand hurt? Don't be so silent like this!" I showed my disdainful concern in his panicked tone.
My hand hurts...ha!
Hearing these words, I felt like a fishbone stuck in my throat, very uncomfortable.
"Tell me if you need money. You are mine and I will support you!" He said this in a very loyal and manly way, as if this was something he was extremely proud of, a very proud word.
You are all mine...
My people...
His words were like a dagger stabbing into my chest. This was the only thing in my mind, lingering in my brain like a spell. I looked at myself in his pupils and wanted to say something, but my throat was filled with bloody anger and pain, and my whole body was cold and painful.
"Why don't you just die?" I looked at him with red eyes and shouted with gritted teeth, "Xue Ye, you bastard! Why don't you just die! Just die!"
From the beginning till now, he has never apologized to me, never expressed a trace of regret. I just felt like I fell into an ice cellar, with pain all over my body.
"Are you blaming me?" He frowned.
"Wasn't I supposed to? Don't you know what you did to me?" I stepped back, and what happened that morning came to my mind.
Snow-white bed sheets, seductive bloodstains, and disgusting photos. I thought I could forget them as time went by, but no, the longer time went by, the more they were engraved in my heart.
I can’t forget it at all, I can’t forget it!
They have been tormenting me and may continue to torment me for the rest of my life.
"How could you do this to me? You've ruined me, you devil! Fiend!" I squatted down, hugged my knees and buried my head in them.
"What do you mean? Explain yourself clearly! Do you mean the hotel? So what if we did it in the hotel? Am I a devil?" Xue Ye was furious and he shook me desperately.
The air became still and I heard people gasping for air all around me.
"Stop talking! Stop talking!" My head hurts and my stomach churns.
"Don't forget that you gave your body to the devil!"
"I beg you, please stop talking..."
"Don't forget that this devil loves you!" He kicked over the chair next to him and roared at me with a murderous look on his face.
"Get out!" I shouted heartbreakingly, and accidentally choked by my own saliva and tears and started coughing violently.
Through my tearful eyes, I vaguely saw Fang Xuyou in the crowd. He walked towards us quickly, with murderous eyes. He was full of hostility, like a messenger from hell coming to take our lives.
The sound of bones cracking came into my ears from above my head. Xue Ye staggered after being kicked, wailed, and fell to his knees in front of me.
He raised his legs and tried to turn over, but another fierce kick landed on his back, knocking him to the ground. Fang Xuyu had no expression on his face, his chest rose and fell violently, and he looked at the man in front of him indifferently. After the kick, he punched Xue Ye in the chin, and the quick and fierce blows left Xue Ye no time to react and no ability to fight back.
Fang Xuyu stared coldly at the man in front of him. I could feel his anger. His rapid breathing betrayed him. Fang Xuyu was angry, very angry.
Xue Ye saw that it was him, endured the pain and climbed up, looked at him provocatively, and smiled: "Are you angry? I said I would get her."
Another heavy punch almost broke Xue Ye's jaw. Fang Xuyu's continuous punches were as fast as the wind and as fierce as a wolf, leaving no room for thought. All he could hear were crisp sounds, and Xue Ye was almost beaten to death.
"Fuck you!" Xue Ye was also driven to anger. He clenched his fists, found the right moment, and counterattacked with punches, hitting Fang Xuyu's chest.
Fang Xuyu was beaten back repeatedly, but he refused to fall. Xue Ye punched him, and he took a step forward.
I couldn't bear it any longer. Seeing Fang Xuyu being beaten, my internal organs were in unbearable pain. I rushed to Xue Ye and slapped him hard several times.
How could he do that? How shameless was he? How could he have the nerve to let the other party take action? My palms were numb from being beaten, and my whole body was shaking.
Xue Ye's face tilted to one side, his head slightly lowered, and it was hard to tell the emotion in his eyes. There were clear palm prints on his face, which were red and somewhat hideous.
"I'll never forgive you."
I heard my own voice as cold as a sad cold wind, blowing on Xue Ye's heart with every word.
