Tender as wild

Chapter 38 Pain
  Baili didn't wait any longer. Instead, she opened her suitcase and put all the items back into the room one by one.

Her room is not big, and there are not many items. It is basically all cool-colored furnishings, which were arranged by the decoration company for the room.

It was originally a guest room.

After cleaning up, she sat back on the chair and counted the hands of the clock on the wall.

Usually Ms. Hu would wait until late at night if she wanted to teach her a lesson.

Even though Baili is obedient and has only a handful of opportunities to be educated, she is sensitive and can always catch some patterns.

At twelve o'clock that night, Ms. Hu rushed in. Without knocking or giving a hint, she turned around and closed the door and locked it.

Then he stared directly at Bai Li with a pair of bright eyes: "Enough of going out in the wild? Bai Li, I never thought you dared to be so disobedient! Your Uncle Su lost his temper that day, what does he want? Don’t you know? He gave us, mother and daughter, a good life, just to let us be more obedient, more sensible, and have peace at home. But it’s not good for you, but you can’t live a good life. You run away from home, are you crazy!”

Her voice seemed to be unmasked. The sound insulation effect of the high-end house was so good that there were thick sound insulation strips between the doors and windows.

Baili just looked at her mother with her eyes open, without retorting or speaking.

Ms. Hu couldn't stand such a one-man show. She almost went crazy with frustration. After being angry with her step-son and step-daughter's husband, there was no reason for her to be angry with her daughter!
  He stepped forward and grabbed Bai Li's wrist. His bright red nails were deeply embedded into the skin of the girl's arm. He looked at her coldly: "I'm telling you, don't drag me down anymore. Can you be more sensible and obedient?"

Although the words were a sincere prayer, her nails had already scratched Baili's skin, and soon a shallow stream of blood gushed out.

The pointer on the wall ticked, and Baili calmly endured the pain.

Ms. Hu increased her strength:
  "And that Fang Ye, I know you went to find him, and you went right away, but you are not allowed to mention him in this family in this life! He is already the same person as before. If you dare to mention him again, you will harm me. Me, you can’t even go to school, do you hear me?”

Hearing the threat about going to school, Bai Li finally had some reaction. She bit her lip and nodded.

Ms. Hu's face looks better. After all, it's the little girl who is easy to control. After being scared, she will agree to everything.

Bai Li suddenly said calmly: "Mom, let me live on campus. I want to study hard in my senior year of high school."

"You want to live on campus? Impossible."

"Mom." Bai Li raised her eyes and said softly: "Uncle Su is angry now and doesn't want to see me, right? I will study hard and get into a good university. Uncle Su will be happy, and if I leave, my sister will definitely be able to Come home often.”

This passage makes sense.

Ms. Hu also pondered for a long time before letting go of Bai Li's hand and said, "I'll discuss it with your uncle."

Then, he looked down at Bai Li's arm and said in a nicer voice: "As long as you know how to please Uncle Su, remember to wear long sleeves tomorrow."

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Baili nodded.

The arm that had been pinched was numb, and blood flowed all over the fingertips.

I have seen several sad youth movies before, and the characters in them often have an alcoholic and domestically violent father and a mother who vents her pain.

Baili can actually feel the same.

Although Ms. Hu is a decent person, she never goes crazy and beats her.

But that biting pain will still remain on the skin in other ways.

She lowered her dark eyelashes, took out a soft tissue, and gently wiped the surface of the wound, which was immediately stained red.

Then he put a band-aid on his face without changing his face and fell asleep.

The moonlight outside the window spilled into the room.

There was a heart that had just been barely mended, and it was instantly shattered to pieces.

Bai Li remembered what Fang Ye said, and she wanted to tell him if she was bullied.

She turned over and let the cool air from the air conditioner blow on her waist.

What to talk about?

No longer in your senior year of high school? Not going to college anymore?
  If she wants to save Fang Ye, she must save herself first. September is coming, and the wind is gradually losing its temperature.

The girl who was smiling yesterday was obviously lifeless again today. The wound hurt badly when it touched the quilt. She slowly sat up holding her legs and blew air into her arms with small mouthfuls.

She kept telling herself in her heart that there was hope.

Fang Ye can still struggle out.

She can do it too.

Because both my stepsister and stepbrother have already gone to pre-class training.

Baili came back at the right time and couldn't keep up with the schedule. She had a reason not to go together.

I finally made it to September 1st.

Ms. Hu asked Bai Li to pack her luggage, and Bai Li knew that her stepfather agreed to her living in school, so she quickly packed her luggage.

In fact, it was nothing, just two sets of school uniforms, pillows, sheets, quilts, towels and slippers.

This time the school opening report is still the same as before.

Ms. Hu took her stepsister, and Su Changjin took her stepbrother.

And her grades were better, so even if she went by herself, the teacher would be accommodating, and smoothly approved her accommodation request, and took her to the school dormitory.

Jiangcheng Private No. 1 Middle School is a relatively good school. There are very few boarding students in this kind of school, and the beds are also very tight, because many top students like to stay in the boarding house and are not willing to waste time on the way home.

Each dormitory is a four-person dormitory.

After Baili found her dormitory, she felt much better.

But despite this, Ms. Hu still called her and told her that she must go home every weekend because her stepfather liked to see the happy family sitting at the dining table eating.

Looking at the scene outside the brand new dormitory building, Baili felt that it was pretty good to be able to escape for five days a week.

First day of school.

Baili went to the cafeteria and bought herself a bowl of porridge, then quickly walked to the classroom to prepare for class.

She came earlier and none of her classmates arrived.

Her deskmate He Suisui arrived earlier than her.

Seeing Bai Li walking in from the door, her eyes lit up, and she handed Bai Li a new schoolbag: "Lizi, your new schoolbag is really beautiful, and it's from a brand name. I've never seen you like these before. Why did you buy it all of a sudden?" Now, do you want to send it to my home first?”

Her question didn't sound like a taunt, it was just a simple statement of her doubts.

Bai Li took the schoolbag and replied softly: "My brother bought this for me."

He Suisui was confused: "That brother in Class 11?"

Bai Li paused and shook her head: "No, it's my...other brother."

How could He Suisui understand such a complicated relationship? She didn't dwell too much on it. She simply thought that it was a great thing for her friends to have many older brothers.

"Then that brother of yours is really nice. I want a brother too."

The September breeze blew on Bai Li's face, and she showed a light smile.

Yes, Fang Ye was very kind to her.

　Monthly tickets are a bit low, we will thank you tomorrow
