Love You Forever

Do I really have to endure such strong jian and humiliation?

I almost vomited when I smelled the stench of alcohol on the man's body. I was so disgusted that I couldn't push him away.

Tears crept up all over my face and my powerlessness shattered my last desire to resist.

My clothes were torn and ripped apart, and I wanted to die.

Bang, a dull sound. The man who was preparing to exercise on me was suddenly picked up and thrown aside. I suddenly raised my tears. Tan Jie's face appeared in front of me. He didn't look at me.

I pressed the torn clothes on the key parts and watched Tan Jie hit someone coldly.

He went crazy, his fists and feet together. The man was beaten so hard that he couldn't move. He didn't stop.

"Are you dead?" I said softly.

"It's best to die." Tan Jie kicked me again. After kicking, he took off his short denim sleeves and draped them over me. He picked me up and walked into the house.

He wanted to turn on the light, so I quickly said, "Don't turn on the light."

I don't want him to see me in this mess, not even myself.

"Can you get me a basin of water?"

He didn't say a word and went to fetch water from the basin on the stand. I used the water from him to wipe my face and body. I changed five basins of water and wanted to do it. Tan Jie dodged my towel and threw it in the basin.

"All right, it's all scratched."

"When you leave, throw away the towel and basin." I tried to sound calm enough.

Tan Jie plopped down on the wooden box beside the bed. "Is this a psychological shadow?"

"...

He sneered. I couldn't see the expression on his face. I guess he should be looking down on me now."

I was shocked. Has he ever encountered something like this? Someone raped him, a man in his 180s?

"What a joke."

"Do I look like I'm joking with you?" He pointed at his face and bent over, elbows resting on his knees.

I pursed my lips and stopped talking. It turned out that the domineering and bad-tempered Tan Jie had suffered such humiliation.

"Why did you come all of a sudden?" I leaned against the bed with myself in my arms.

"My agent called me. I was on my way to your place." Tan Jie got up. "There's something else in the car. I'll get it."

This time, not only did he bring me food, he also brought me clothes. There were only two sets of clothes here. One was for me, and the other was bought temporarily. Tan Jie saw my embarrassment and I thought I would be a little embarrassed.

Saying thank you was no longer enough to express my gratitude to him. I simply didn't say anything. I felt that the way I looked at him was enough to explain everything.

"By the way, I found this box under the bed and locked it." I turned on the light, pointed to the box by the bed and said to Tan Jie.

He squatted down and studied for a long time. He lifted the lock and looked at it. "Do you have any tools that can pry the lock?"

I suddenly remembered the ax in the yard, but there was someone in the yard, and I was afraid...

"There's an axe in the yard. You stay with me. I'll take you there." I scratched my forehead, feeling a little shy about my timidity.

Tan Jie followed me to get the ax, and the dog crawled around the door, groaning if it couldn't keep up with us.

He smashed the lock on the box with an axe, and the moment he opened it, a musty smell came to his face. I covered my mouth and nose and took a few steps back. Tan Jie only fanned around his nose with his hand and looked inside.

"They are all old things, probably left by my grandfather." He said.

I also took a look forward. "Can you touch it?"

"If you're not afraid, just touch it."

Dead people's things are not scary at all. I'm more afraid of living people.

The box was filled with women's things, small combs, small mirrors, a stack of letters, and a few books. I picked up one and flipped through it. There were also yellow leaves of sycamore trees in the book.

The sense of time followed, and I immediately forgot what was not good tonight and was curious about this box of things.

"I don't understand you women. What's so good about all this junk?" Tan Jie sat aside and ignored me.

But I became more and more addicted to it. Handkerchiefs, cloth shoes, very old tape recorders, and broken tape. Are these all grandpa Tan Jie's things? He kept the woman's things and carefully placed them in such an antique box. This should be his lover's things.

In the past, love came very slowly and progressed very slowly. It was often a matter of a lifetime.

"Hey, Chen Qing, can you stop flipping? It smells bad." Tan Jie looked at me with disgust.

I patted the dust on my hands. "Are you leaving?"

"It's not safe here. I don't want you to stay here anymore, but I can't find a better place now. What do you think?" Before I could say anything, he pointed at me. "Don't say we're going to the airport."

I frowned and asked in puzzlement, "Why am I not allowed to go to the airport?"

He didn't open his eyes and looked strange. "Fu jing will find out the moment you buy a plane ticket. By then, your whereabouts will be exposed."

He was right. I accepted his statement without much consideration.

"Fu Jing has been watching me all this time, and the police are asking me where you are. I said I don't know. You can't show up easily now. If someone finds out, not only will you be unlucky, but I will be unlucky too."

"Then I'll stay here. That man was beaten up so badly by you, and I don't think he'll come again." There was something comforting about what I said.

But there was no better way.

Tan Jie looked at the time. "I'm leaving."

"Well, you can't sleep at night running back and forth. Don't work so hard during the day. Remember to steal some time to be lazy." I followed him out.

He grunted. Halfway there, I suddenly found the man under the sycamore tree. He was gone...

I tugged at Tan Jie's sleeve. "If you're not in a hurry to leave, can you wait until dawn? I'm a little scared."

"What's wrong?" He hadn't noticed anything was wrong.

"That man, he's gone." I lowered my voice. The courtyard, which was not dark but not bright, made me feel gloomy and horrible.

He looked at the time again. Before he spoke, I hurriedly said, "You'd better go back. I have a dog. I'll lock the door when I come in. It's okay."

Tan Jie ignored me and took my hand and entered the house.

I sat on the bed. He went to look for wood and nails and said he wanted to fix the window. In fact, I knew that he was afraid that I would stay with him.

I touched my stomach and whispered to the baby in my heart that when I grow up, I must remember to repay this uncle Tan Jie.
