[R18] Vet(1v1)h – “Vet (1v1)h” hurt you? [English]

After Shen An left, Bai Li discovered that he had taken away the sheets he had changed last night.

Thinking of last night, her whole face turned red again. She got into the blanket on the sofa and shrank in.

After half an hour, she climbed out of the blanket, picked up her phone and took a look. Dai Mei sent her a message, asking how long it would take for her to finish the urgent PPT.

She quickly replied the message, [One hour.】

She has been in a dark mood recently and her work efficiency has not been high.

After making an hour-long plan for herself today, she quickly finished the PPT and sent it to Dai Mei. Then she discovered that there was a message from her eldest sister on her phone, asking her if she wanted to go home. It was her father’s birthday soon.

She replied: [No reply.】

Then stared at the screen in a daze.

She had a nightmare last night. In the dream, her father kept beating several children with a belt. She saw her thin self huddled in the corner. She was beaten the worst because she cried too much.

There were four brothers and sisters at home, so they would be very noisy, either fighting for toys or watching TV. That day, my father came back from outside and saw the house in a mess, with the noise of children in his ears. He took out his belt and started beating one of them after he caught him.

Baili was the closest and was blindsided. She often dreamed of this scene as an adult. In her dream, she kept crying and begging for mercy. She kept calling her mother for help. Finally, her mother finally came, but she was quarreling with her father. They smashed the pots and pans at home, and their parents struggled with each other in front of them.

She looked at this scene in horror, went forward and hugged her father’s waist, crying and begging him to let go of her mother, but she was thrown out by her father with great force.

The eldest sister came over to pull her up, and the four brothers and sisters hugged each other shivering, not even daring to cry too loudly.

Baili wiped the tears on her face, but the more she wiped them, the more she cried. Every time she thought about the past, she would cry for a long time. The fear was engraved in her bones, making it impossible for her to live like a normal person as an adult.

She has low self-esteem and is sensitive, timid and restless, like a sewer rat. She only dares to hide at home and cannot even go out normally. She is afraid of communicating with others, afraid of knocks on doors and phone calls, afraid of crowds, and afraid of sudden approaches from others.

She tried, but she couldn’t do it.

She covered her face and cried so hard that she choked. The kitten in the cat cage barked at her several times. She sniffed and held back her tears and said, “I know, I don’t want to cry either…but I…can’t help it…”

The screen of the silent mobile phone lit up.

Shen An called, but she looked at it with tears in her eyes and didn’t answer.

The phone still rings, over and over again, tirelessly.

Baili never answered. She hugged the blanket and kept crying. When there was a knock on the door, she stopped crying in fear.

A dark voice came from outside the door, his breath full of anxiety and uneasiness, “Bai Li! Are you in there?!”

Bai Li hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face, walked towards the door and said, “I, I’m here.”

Shen An paused and deliberately lowered his voice, “Are you crying?”

“No.” Bai Li’s eyelashes trembled, and another tear fell.

“Open the door,” he whispered, “let me see you.”

“No, no.” Bai Li cried and shook her head.

“Be good, open the door.” Shen An coaxed her in a low voice, “If you don’t answer my call, I’m going to go crazy with worry. Open the door and let me see you, okay?”

Bai Li shook her head, but her fingers trembled as she opened the door.

As soon as Shen An came in, he saw that the little girl’s eyes were red from crying, her face was covered with tears, her nose was red, and her whole body was still huffing and puffing.

He hugged her into his arms and asked distressedly, “Did I hurt you last night?”

Bai Li cried and shook her head.

“Is it because of me?” he asked softly.

She still shook her head, tears falling heavily.

Shen An wiped away her tears with his fingertips and said softly: “Be good, don’t be afraid, tell me who bullied you, and I’ll beat you back, okay?”

“No… Wuwu…” Bai Li burst into tears, she gasped, her whole shoulders hunched over from crying, “I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”

Even now, she is still apologizing.

Shen An was so distressed that he didn’t know what to do. He hugged him in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her, and said in a gentle voice, “I’m here, don’t be afraid of anything.”

The grievance and sourness in Baili’s chest accumulated to the extreme. She tightly grasped the man’s clothes and cried loudly in his arms.

Shen An didn’t know that except for Dai Mei, Bai Li would never cry like this in front of another person.
