Su Li sat quietly by the window, Sunlight shining on her, outlining her slender silhouette.
On her pale face there were no tears, only a hollow exhaustion. When her eyelashes lowered, even without showing sadness or sorrow, just sitting there made one’s heart ache.
Her fingertips always unconsciously tugged at the hem of her clothes. Even sitting on the Chair without moving, she still gave the impression of being a small, huddled figure.
Like a fledgling soaked by Rain, weak yet giving off a sense of strength.
Su Li noticed MOKA’s gaze on her.
She could feel the sympathy in MOKA’s eyes as she looked at her.
When she showed her weakness, many Clients would reveal their sympathy.
Even though they themselves might not be living that well, they would still feel an inexplicable Desire to protect her.
Her appearance was naturally deceptive.
There was not much Emotion in Su Li’s heart. To her, this kind of disguise was nothing at all.
As if it were something carved into her very marrow.
MOKA looked at Su Li and suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
She had only treated Su Li as a tool for Songwriting, and seemed to have never understood her.
For some reason, MOKA suddenly had the urge to learn more about Su Li.
Why had Su Li taken such a path?
MOKA felt her Heart pounding, and for no reason, she also felt a sense of palpitation.
As if remembering something, she hurriedly picked up her Cell Phone and transferred 1,000 yuan to Su Li.
Even though she herself was still in dire straits, she still wanted to offer Su Li some Help.
She really is damned!
Remembering what she had done to Su Li for the sake of Songwriting, deep guilt surged in MOKA’s heart.
Perhaps it was not without reason that she would suffer Retribution.
Even so, Su Li had never shown anything.
Except for that one time when she had wanted to engage in Skipping Payment, and Su Li could no longer hold back.
MOKA did not know what Su Li had gone through at that time.
But that sum of Money must have been very important to her, right?
She…
She had even, after getting angry, wanted to expose Su Li’s Address and let her Fans engage in Cyberbullying against Su Li.
“Slap.”
A crisp sound rang out in the Room.
Even Su Li was somewhat stunned when she saw MOKA suddenly give herself a Slap.
Of course, such Emotion vanished in an instant.
She just did not quite understand what MOKA’s purpose in doing this was.
“Sorry.”
“Sorry.”
“Sorry.”
MOKA said in a trembling voice.
She stared at Su Li’s pale profile, her nails digging deep into her palms.
She remembered how she had repeatedly used Money to force this scarred girl to provide Inspiration, and had even carved a messy Score on her back while drunk.
She was a demon, forcing a girl in Desperation, on the verge of collapse, to jump into the Deep Abyss.
“Su Li, I, I want to hear your story, is that okay?”
MOKA spoke, her tone full of pleading.
But as soon as she finished speaking, she became aware of something, hurriedly took out her Cell Phone, and transferred another 5,000 yuan to Su Li.
She was too awful.
To think…
To think she wanted to draw Inspiration from Su Li’s story.
She would rather hurt the other person and expose a wound that had just healed.
Su Li seemed to have fallen into memories.
“Actually, my story is not very interesting.
I was born in a backward Village.
On the day I was born, there were no Smiles on my Parents’ faces.
They desperately wanted a boy, not me.
So after I was raised at the lowest possible cost, I became their tool.
A tool to make their lives better.”
Su Li’s tone was full of calm, but MOKA listened very seriously, even feeling as if a Knife were stabbing into her own heart.
Was Su Li truly letting go, able to expose her wounds so calmly?
Or was it…
That she had already gotten used to it?
MOKA did not know.
Su Li continued to tell her story in her steady way.
Telling a story was undoubtedly a good way to stall for Time.
“In the past, I did not know what it felt like to eat a full meal, because if I ate one extra leaf of Green Vegetables, I would be endlessly scolded by Father and Mother.
I was a tool for them to earn Money. From childhood, I had to help them do farm work. From the moment I woke to the moment I slept, there was always endless work.
Later, my Younger Sister was born.
I could feel the disgust in Father’s and Mother’s eyes, exactly the same as when I was born.
My Younger Sister shared the same fate as me.
I hope she can live a little better.”
Su Li spoke slowly, and MOKA’s mind seemed to already conjure the image of Su Li’s thin figure working in the fields.
No wonder Su Li, even after suffering such Torture from her, still showed a calm appearance.
So she had long since gotten used to it.
MOKA felt uncomfortable inside. To her, what she had done was undoubtedly rubbing salt into Su Li’s wounds.
“Until the son they had longed for was born. My Younger Sister and I had also grown a little, so we had to take on the responsibility of raising their son.
As a result, my Mother fell gravely ill again, and Father, disappointing as ever, became a gambling addict.
My younger brother also grew up useless. He never attended School and became a Yellow-Haired Delinquent.”
Su Li let out a long sigh. In her description, she had shaped a self who had lived an incomparably rough life.
She had no Parents.
So making up such Parents did not put much psychological pressure on her.
Or rather, there was no psychological pressure at all.
Anyway, it was just telling a story. As long as it achieved the purpose of telling a story, that was naturally enough.
“Sorry, Su Li.”
MOKA’s mood was incomparably heavy. Listening to Su Li’s story, it was as if she had become a member of that Son Preference family.
A Gambling Father, a Sick Mother, and a Younger Sister attending School.
And a younger brother who is a Yellow-Haired Delinquent.
No wonder…
No wonder Su Li was always earning Money, earning so much Money, yet it was never enough to spend.
There was a gambling addict, a good-for-nothing younger brother, and also…
A sick Mother.
No matter how you looked at it, it was hard to escape such an oppressive Family of Origin.
She herself had only suffered Blacklisting. It was nothing at all.
Compared to Su Li, she at least still had many, many Opportunities.
She could still turn things around.
But Su Li was already in the Deep Abyss, finding it hard to climb out.
She really deserved to die.
Su Li had already had it so hard, yet she had still thought about withholding Su Li’s Money.
She was truly not human!
“Slap!”
A crisp sound rang out in the Room once again as MOKA heavily slapped herself.
She felt that this Slap could not possibly make up for the harm she had caused Su Li!
