Chapter 3160 - Innocence 75
I sealed myself in, as though in a very small snail shell, hiding and refusing to come out.
Su Qi wanted to visit me sometimes, but my parents repeatedly forbade us to meet.
He'd call the landline at home. I didn't have a phone in my room. My mother would pick up his call, curse and swear, and then hang up.
However, he persevered and kept calling every now and then.
As for me, it was as if I had gone insane. I clung on to the diary and wrote till I cried. Then I wiped my tears and continued to paint.
I asked him in my diary, Dongyu, have you ever liked me, even just a little?'
Wouldn't it be great if we were not siblings?
If you were not Yin Dongyu, or if I were not Yin Xiachun, and if we had met at some point in our lives, everything that was impossible now would have become possible!
However, if you were not Yin Dongyu and I were not Yin Xiachun, would our paths have crossed?
Is it really shameful to fall for someone you shouldn't fall for?
…
I knew I wouldn't get answers, but I still poured out all these questions that I harbored in my heart.
Time went by in a blur until one day, I heard some abnormal activity outside the house.
"Dongyu… What happened to you?!"
"Hubby, come quickly! Dongyu is covered in injuries!"
Upon hearing this, I nervously opened the door and walked out to the living room. I saw Dongyu kneeling on the floor with injuries all over his body. His face was covered in bruises, there was a particularly huge bruise at the corner of his eye. It looked like someone had punched him hard!
When I saw this, I dashed towards him like a madman and cried in a panic, "Brother… what happened to you?"
Dongyu glanced up at me, but his lips were turned up in a gentle smile.
"That person's name is Fang Liang, isn't it?"
I was thunderstruck!
He wrapped his arms around my shoulders and pulled me into his embrace. He forced a smile as he softly coaxed, "Don't be afraid anymore. I've already taught that person a lesson for you!"
As he spoke, his voice cracked and his arms tightened around me. "Don't be afraid. I'll be with you, even through hell and high water."
I saw tears fall from his eyes, and my heart hurt so much that I felt suffocated.
"What happened?!"
My mother and father were beside themselves with anxiety.
Outside the door, Su Qi ran in after my brother. He was also covered in injuries. His school uniform was torn in a few places. On his face, there were obvious signs that he had been beaten. He walked up to Dongyu and was panting slightly. He looked at me again and silently released his clenched fists.
I suddenly realized what must have happened. I collapsed to the ground, my chest tightening!
The cause of the incident was that Su Qi and Dongyu ran into a group of young men on their way home.
Among them was Fang Liang.
Fang Liang told Su Qi that he wanted to go to the bar to have some fun, but his car had been detained by his family, so he sought Su Qi out to borrow his car.
Su Qi said that the key was at home, so Fang Liang said that he would to go back with Su Qi to get it.
On the way, Su Qi unintentionally mentioned my name because I was confined and could hardly leave the house. He could only get news of me from Dongyu.
When Fang Liang heard my name, he found it familiar. After asking, he suddenly smiled disdainfully and said, "Oh, so it's her!"
Surprised, Su Qi asked him how he knew about me.
