Another ten days passed, and it was nearly Chinese New Year's

Seeing the thick festive atmosphere on the streets, I couldn't help but think back to how I used to spend the holiday at home Mom would put up New Year's decorations, and on Chinese New Year's eve, she'd prepare an enormous dinner for the family Dad would take a portion out froive my little brother and I each a red envelope [1] The other portion he would give to his beloved as under disguise as if it was from us — the two of thely express their love for each other despite their old age

This had already become a memory

I figured that the Zhao brothers wouldn't pero hoo back I had no idea hoould explain everything that had happened to me to my family I also didn't knoould act in front of them, and I definitely didn't want them to worry about me

I picked up the phone and dialed that faic and waran to flow froled to bite ned a tone of excitey I really didn't want my family in Jiayi to worry

Moreed to letwithdown the phone, I sat down on htly around myself I buried my face into my knees, and cried silently

I wanted to go home!

The Zhao brothers again! The hatred inside my heart all erupted

”I don't need their fake kindness! I hate them! Keep them far away from me!” I lifted my face full of tears and shouted Then I seized the ther it at the wall It collided heavily with the wall and clattered onto the ground, spilling chicken soup everywhere on the floor

The hospital roo all my fury out, I closed my eyes and fell back onto the bed I continued to cry silently I felt like all the strength in inal place without budging, alhtened still by my actions

After what seees later, Mama Yu walked over and picked up the therround beside the wall She silently began to clean up the mess that I had made
