~10 min read 1,924 words

Chen Kaijun said nothing, merely gently taking Lin Hai Feng's hand.

At that moment, a light rain suddenly began to fall from the sky. The raindrops wet the faces of Chen Kaijun and Lin Hai Feng, yet they seemed utterly unaware.

On the way back, neither of them spoke a word; they simply held hands and walked in silence.

Lin Hai Feng suddenly said, "I want to sleep in your bed tonight, is that okay?"

"Of course," Chen Kaijun said lightly. She did not refuse Lin Hai Feng's request. After all, she had long grown accustomed to it.

Thus, Lin Hai Feng climbed onto Chen Kaijun's bed and covered themselves with the quilt belonging to the two of them.

"Haifeng."

"Mm?"

"Thank you," Chen Kaijun said softly.

"Silly girl, why are you being so polite with me?" Lin Hai Feng smiled slightly. "You sleep. I will guard you!"

"Mm!" Chen Kaijun nodded, then lay down. Lin Hai Feng also leaned against the side, quietly watching Chen Kaijun.

Before long, she fell into a deep sleep.

Chen Kaijun lay on her side, looking at the sleeping Lin Hai Feng. This was the second time she had seen Lin Hai Feng asleep. The first time was in a bar; Lin Hai Feng had been drunk, slumped over a table. Moreover, the two of them had been lying side by side on the same bed. And that night, she had also slept beside Lin Hai Feng. She remembered the smile on the corner of Lin Hai Feng's mouth; she could even feel the heat and scent radiating from Lin Hai Feng's body, a scent that made her heart race.

She also clearly remembered the sleep-talking Lin Hai Feng had said while holding her as they slept. Those words had deeply pierced her heart. It turned out that Lin Hai Feng's heart was already filled with other women. Yet she had foolishly treated Lin Hai Feng as her own boyfriend.

Thinking of this, her heart grew even more bitter. However, her gaze remained calm, calm without the slightest ripple. She turned over, her back facing Lin Hai Feng, and quietly began to sob. She dared not cry out loud, for fear of waking Lin Hai Feng.

The next morning, Lin Hai Feng opened her eyes and found Chen Kaijun lying beside her. Moreover, Chen Kaijun's complexion was somewhat pale. She urgently reached out, touching the tip of Chen Kaijun's nose, and finding breath there, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Haifeng, you're awake?" Chen Kaijun asked softly. Seeing Lin Hai Feng's haggard appearance, she couldn't help but sigh. "Haifeng, did you drink alcohol all night again last night?"

"Mm." Lin Hai Feng smiled bitterly. "Grandpa's matter affected me too greatly; I simply cannot forget it."

"You should learn to be strong," Chen Kaijun advised. "Sorrow in this world always follows like a shadow."

"Mm." Lin Hai Feng nodded seriously.

"I'm leaving first. My mother will bring you food later. Eat more," Chen Kaijun said as she got up to dress, then instructed Lin Hai Feng.

"I will. You should also rest. Don't let Auntie worry."

"Got it." Chen Kaijun smiled sweetly and nodded, then turned and left the hospital room.

Outside the hospital room, she stopped once more. She looked at Lin Hai Feng inside the door, at the boy who had once deeply captivated her but whom she later deeply hated. No matter what, this time she had truly let go of her resentment toward Lin Hai Feng.

Lin Hai Feng also looked at Chen Kaijun, watching her figure recede into the distance, a complex flavor surging in her heart. She knew that Chen Kaijun's heart must also hide much sorrow.

After washing up, Lin Hai Feng picked up the bowl to eat. But she discovered that one set of bowls and chopsticks was missing!

She rushed into the room immediately and searched everywhere. But besides herself, there was absolutely no trace! She was suddenly startled; she clearly remembered placing the bowls and chopsticks on the cabinet in front of the bed just now.

She ran to the window and looked down. The floor below was empty; where was the shadow of Chen Laoyezi? Lin Hai Feng collapsed in despair.

Chen Laoyezi had vanished while she was asleep! She felt dazed.

"Grandpa! Grandpa!" she screamed hysterically, her eyes wide open.

But Chen Laoyezi never appeared again.

"Grandpa!" She fell to her knees on the ground, wailing in tears.

In this world, truly nothing is unchanging.

Soon, Chen Kaijun's mother arrived.

"Daughter-in-law, get up quickly!" Seeing Chen Haifeng kneeling on the ground crying out, she was terrified and hurriedly pulled Lin Hai Feng up.

"Mother-in-law, tell me, where did Grandpa go?" Lin Hai Feng grabbed Chen Mama's arm and asked anxiously.

"Who are you talking about? Who left?" Chen Mama was stunned.

"Chen Laoyezi, where did he go? Tell me!" Lin Hai Feng's eyes were filled with pleading.

"Oh, that old thing is dead," Chen Mama said coldly.

"No, that's not true! You're lying to me!" Lin Hai Feng suddenly shouted. She threw herself down and hugged Chen Mama's legs.

"Haifeng, I am not lying to you. I am very upset too, but I must tell you. That old guy is dead!" Chen Mama snorted coldly.

"No, my grandpa won't die!" Lin Hai Feng shook her head frantically.

Chen Mama was dizzy from being shaken like that.

"Alright, alright!" Chen Mama shouted loudly. "I'm telling you, he's dead! Dead and buried!"

After hearing Chen Mama's words, Lin Hai Feng stood frozen in place.

"Aiyo!" At this moment, the door slammed shut with a bang, followed immediately by a string of curses: "Lin Hai Feng, what the hell are you doing! Get up for me right now!"

This person was none other than Chen Kaijun's father, Chen Guofu.

"Dad." Chen Guofu's angry scolding finally brought Lin Hai Feng back to her senses, and she stood up.

"What the hell is wrong with you!" Chen Guofu pointed at Lin Hai Feng and began to curse.

"Don't scold Haifeng; I made her like this, it has nothing to do with her!" Chen Mama said angrily. "If you have anger, direct it at me."

"Direct it at me?" Chen Guofu laughed in extreme anger. "Do you know, that old thing has been dead for seven or eight years!"

Lin Hai Feng trembled all over, staring blankly at her husband. She didn't believe it.

"Dad! You're talking nonsense!" Chen Kaijun also questioned angrily.

"I am not talking nonsense! That old thing has been dead for seven or eight years!" Chen Guofu said.

"No!" Chen Kaijun shouted excitedly, her tears bursting forth. She slowly squatted down, threw herself onto the floor, and began to cry, weeping her heart out. Her tears instantly soaked the pillowcase. These were tears suppressed for seven or eight years, finally exploding.

"Haifeng." At this moment, Chen Guofu sighed, then helped her up and comforted her softly. "I know you have suffered grievances these past few days. But you cannot push the responsibility onto yourself, can you? You are innocent."

Chen Kaijun raised her head at that moment, looking at her parents. Then she choked out, "Dad, Mom, I was wrong. I let you down... I let my brother down, I let Grandpa down. It's all because I was immature." After speaking, Chen Kaijun lowered her head and began to wail in tears again.

"Alright, alright, don't cry, baby, don't cry." Chen Mama hurriedly coaxed Chen Kaijun.

Lin Hai Feng also silently shed tears. She knew she had done wrong. Although Chen Kaijun said it lightly, Lin Hai Feng also knew that Chen Kaijun had endured much, or rather, that she, Lin Hai Feng, had always lived in guilt.

"I'm sorry, Kaijun," Lin Hai Feng murmured.

"Sister-in-law, you need not blame yourself. We hold no grudge against each other. You are a good Miss. Grandpa's fondness for you is his blessing. It's just that from now on, I'm afraid I won't be able to look after you anymore."

"Kaijun..." Chen Kaijun's stance made Lin Hai Feng feel extremely gratified.

"Enough, stop talking nonsense. Pack your things quickly; we must leave here immediately. I plan for you to go abroad with Kaijun to lay low. We're going to Australia. We'll live in seclusion there!" "Good." Lin Hai Feng nodded.

"I'm going too!" At this moment, Chen Mama hurriedly said, "Guofu, you go too. Let our whole family reunite properly in Australia."

"Mom, you're too old to go! Stay here and live with Big Brother." Chen Guofu said impatiently.

"No! I want to be with you! I've had enough of living here! Hurry up, stop dawdling!" Chen Mama shouted loudly.

"Then take her along." Chen Guofu said helplessly, "Hurry up, stop dawdling!"

"Kaijun, go pack your things quickly!" Lin Hai Feng also said.

"Good!" Chen Kaijun wiped his tears, stood up, and left the living room.

"I'm going too!" Chen Mama hurriedly stood up and followed Chen Kaijun out of the living room.

"Big Brother, help me close the door!" Chen Guofu shouted at the coffee table.

Beneath the coffee table, a person seemed to be buried. This person wore tattered clothes, covered entirely in scars and filth. The hair on his head was gray and messy. This person was crouching under the coffee table, shivering.

"Ah!" At this moment, a piercing scream came from the coffee table. It turned out Chen Guofu had kicked the coffee table over. The glass cups, fruit plate, and television on the table crashed to the floor, making a sound of shattering.

"Big Brother!" At this moment, a woman's startled cry came from Damenkou. Immediately, a beautiful woman in a pink dress and white high heels rushed in. This person was Chen Guofu's sister, Lin Hai Feng's sister-in-law, Chen Lihua.

"Where are Mom and Dad?" Chen Lihua rushed to Lin Hai Feng, pointing at her and asking, "What have you done to them?"

"I don't know." Lin Hai Feng shook her head blankly, "I came with them. After entering the door, I haven't seen them since."

"Big Brother! Little Sister!" At this moment, a call came in from the doorway. Everyone turned to look and saw a middle-aged couple appearing on the coffee table. Both wore tattered clothes, their faces bruised purple and blue. They were Chen Guofu and Chen Mama's eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law.

"Where are Mom and Dad?" After these two sat down on the sofa, they asked anxiously, "What have you done to them?"

"We did nothing!" Lin Hai Feng and Chen Lihua said in unison, "We came to find Mom and Dad to pack things together."

At this moment, the large screen in the living room happened to be playing footage of Big Wolf Dog and Scar Zheng beating up three underlings.

And the people being beaten were exactly Chen Guofu and Chen Mama's eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law!

After everyone saw the footage on the screen, they were all very shocked.

In the footage, Big Wolf Dog and Scar Zheng were kicking a couple on the sofa with their feet.

Meanwhile, the three underlings were watching this scene from the side, and several unfamiliar people were also present, acting as cameramen.

One cameraman was holding a microphone interviewing Scar Zheng. The person being beaten was pinned to the ground by a group of people.

With no power to fight back!

After everyone saw this scene, they were all very shocked!

These people actually committed violence openly in front of everyone!
