The door closed, and the sight of his slightly trembling back disappeared.
I placed my cold palms over my cheek, aiming to relieve the pain.
What would I do now? How would I do it? How would I face my parents? How would I explain what happened? My dad was already unwell, would this drive him back to the hospital? And Ye Zhengchen ? How would I face him?
There were too many questions, and not a single answer.
If at anytime I met him, I would ask him, “ Brother, was it rape, adultery or prostitution?”
…… …
A burst of cold autumn wind blew in through the window. I shivered in the cold.
I got up from the ground and closed the window. As I pulled the curtains close, my hands froze.
Through the window, I spotted a white SUV parked downstairs. I hesitated for a long time before I picked up the phone and texted Ye Zhengchen, ‘Where are you?’
As soon as the text was sent, I got a reply – ‘In the nightclub. Chatting with a hot chick.’
I looked at the car downstairs. ‘Great. Then I wont bother you.’
He texted me back after a few minutes. ‘What are you doing?’
‘Looking at the scenery downstairs. It’s nice’
He replied,’…………..’
I laughed, and then clutched my face as pain shot through.
Then he texted again, ‘I want to see you’
I touched the side of my face and could feel the swelling,’I don’t want to see you right now’
I waited for a long time but Ye Zhengchen did not reply.
I placed the phone on the table and went into the bathroom to see my own face. The right side of my face was swollen hugely and there was a clear imprint of five figures. It was a shocking sight.
I moved my hair away from my forehead. There was a bit of blood. I took a tissue and tried to rub away the blood. I finished nearly half the roll but the blood continued to flow. If Ye Zhengchen saw me in this state, I couldn’t even guess how he would react.
The doorbell rang.
I thought Zhong Tim had returned and quickly walked to the door. But as I peeked through the eyehole, I saw a man standing at the door. He was dressed in black jeans and a black shirt. In the dim light, he looked sexy and domineering.
I grabbed some strands of hair and artfully placed it on my forehead. Then I opened the door.
Ye Zhengchen smiles and said, “ If you wanted to see me, you could have just told me directly…”
His smile froze when he registered my face.
The door closed, and the sight of his slightly trembling back disappeared.
