Chapter 51 Birthday
Chapter 51 Birthday
Perhaps it's because I slept too much during the day, so I was more awake at night.
The room lights were off, and I stared at Song Yafei listlessly.
She was engrossed in her work, the light from the computer screen clearly highlighting her face, every movement she made was so focused.
This reminds me of the past. Song Yafei was exceptionally serious about her work, and her serious demeanor was captivating; I was always drawn to her.
I don't know how much time passed, but she kept her head down and worked without looking up, while I just stared at her without moving.
What exactly are they looking at?
I feel numb; I have no emotions at all. I don't like anything, and I can't say I hate anything.
When she got tired and straightened up, I closed my eyes immediately so she wouldn't realize I was still awake.
She moved very quietly, perhaps because she didn't want to wake me.
I didn't open my eyes until there was no more movement. The soft light shone on her sleeping face.
Perhaps she was tired, she put the documents on the table and fell asleep on the sofa cushions.
I've regained some strength and can manage getting in and out of bed.
I took a blanket and covered her with it. She was probably fast asleep, because she didn't move at all.
Without waking her, I dragged myself slowly toward the bathroom.
In the bathroom, I looked at myself in the mirror. My face was as pale as snow, my hair was messy, and I looked utterly disheveled.
There are still some marks left by Song Yafei on her neck.
I pulled my clothes down a bit, and more and more marks appeared.
It's so bright and glaring!
It's an eyesore!
I ripped my clothes off in a flash, and the buttons fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
His body was covered in marks, bruises and purple marks.
My hand touched the marks, and I gently wiped them away.
I had only one thought in my mind: to erase these traces.
wipe……
My hands moved faster and faster, and the newly formed large patches of red covered the old ones, which made me feel more relaxed.
"Zhang Tian! What are you doing?"
Song Yafei suddenly burst in, looking in surprise. Her gaze fell on the marks, and her brows furrowed.
But I smiled with relief.
She probably thought I had secretly committed suicide again.
After failing the first time, I never considered it again.
She helped me back to bed, and then I stayed by the bedside, watching over me.
The next day, when I woke up, Song Yafei was nowhere to be seen, but there were two more bodyguards.
One stood at the door, and the other stayed by my side to take care of me.
This is because they're afraid I'll try to commit suicide again.
And today, I feel like I've forgotten something very important.
It wasn't until Lin Qiuran and Xie Wenyao brought a lot of things to the ward, including a small cake, that things changed.
I had a vague suspicion, so I asked Lin Qiuran, "What day is it today?"
Lin Qiuran put the things on the coffee table and came over to gently pat my shoulder.
He laughed and said, "Hey, you forgot, today is your birthday!"
He reminded me, and that's when I remembered.
Oh, it's my birthday today!
Another year older!
I don't know how many birthdays I have left in my life; every one I have is one less.
In the past, I always celebrated my birthday with Yafei and Dean's mother. Thinking back, those were truly happy times.
Now everything has changed, and I feel a sense of desolation.
Lin Qiuran and the others came to see me, and I thought they must know a lot about my situation.
I was shocked when Lin Qiuran saw the wound on my wrist.
He roared, "God, you... were you forced into this by Song Yafei?"
As he spoke, his voice trembled with emotion, and even the last syllable of his words was shaking.
He truly believed that I wanted to be free.
Were they forced into it?
Yes, no.
Xie Wenyao saw it too. She grabbed my hand, her face darkened, and she stared at me intently, her anger surging.
"Yafei went too far this time! How could she do this!"
Xie Wenyao was indignant on my behalf.
She examined my wounds closely, and besides anger, she felt even more pity; her eyes welled up with tears.
Lin Qiuran was furious and insisted on confronting Song Yafei.
"Yafei went too far this time, she almost caused someone's death! When will she finally let you go?"
My expression darkened, and I didn't tell them that the divorce agreement was in the cabinet next to me.
It was delivered by Assistant Luo half an hour ago.
Although I don't know why Song Yafei changed her mind, I couldn't wait to sign it.
However, because Xie Wenyao was present, I didn't tell Lin Qiuran, not wanting to cause any unnecessary trouble.
I quickly stopped Lin Qiuran, making sure not to anger Song Yafei, lest she change her mind again.
"It has nothing to do with her, it's my own problem."
Lin Qiuran clearly didn't believe it, and was even more surprised, "Why, my God? You're still speaking up for her, she's ruined you like this."
He was angry at my lack of self-reliance, thinking I still couldn't let go.
I shook my head and told him, "Qiuran, I think I'm sick. I'm having some mental problems."
Lin Qiuran and Xie Wenyao, who were present, were both shocked by my words and looked at me in astonishment.
I told him about what happened that day in a simple and blunt way.
From their expressions, I knew they believed.
Lin Qiuran scratched his head in frustration, then patted my shoulder after calming down.
"Tian, it's okay. Once you're better, I'll take you to see a psychologist."
Yes, I've realized that I have a problem in my mind, and it's quite serious.
I nodded in acknowledgment of his kindness.
"Lin Qiuran, please step out for a moment. I need to talk to Zhang Tian about something."
Xie Wenyao's directness has left us bewildered.
Lin Qiuran and I exchanged a glance instinctively.
He was asking for my opinion. Only he truly understands what I want, and he respects me in everything he does.
I nodded at him, and then he left without asking any questions.
I don't know what Xie Wenyao is planning to say, since she already made it very clear last time.
I watched as she took my hand and asked with concern, "Does it hurt?"
pain.
Of course it hurts.
I didn't know what she wanted, so I didn't answer and just looked at her.
She looked up, her brows furrowed, her eyes filled with heartache.
"I had originally planned to give up, but I can't bear to see Yafei treat you like this."
"Zhang Tian, she doesn't understand how good you are to me, but I do! She doesn't cherish it, but I do."
"Leave her and come with me, okay?"
Despite bringing up the same old point, I haven't changed my mind.
Song Yafei, I don't want to.
Xie Wenyao is not someone I can afford.
I didn't say anything, but just stared at her without backing down.
After a long while, she finally sighed in resignation.
"Yafei is so lucky! She has your unwavering devotion to her."
"Okay, I give up!"
Xie Wenyao raised her hands in surrender; no one expected her to be so nonchalant.
Yes!
Unexpectedly, she suddenly hugged me, and I stood there stunned.
When I came to my senses, I wanted to break free, but I didn't have the strength.
Then I heard her say in my ear, "Don't move, I'm sad too. Consider this a birthday present for me."
What a strange idea!
But in the end, I didn't push her away.
Just then, the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open, and when I looked up, I saw Song Yafei standing there, her face dark...
