125 Wedding Dress (1/2)
Shen Xun bangs her head against the walls of her prison cell. If she was crazy before, she is now fully deranged.
”Han Yuan why? Why did you choose her?”
”Ahhh---”
”Was I not good enough?”
”I'll be your wife. I'll cook you food.”
”I'll give birth to sons for you.”
Blood is now flowing from her forehead so she stops and starts crying.
”Is it because of my scar? Is that the reason why you didn't want me?”
Heavy footsteps can be heard approaching her cell. ”You have a visitor.” A guard says harshly and pockets a big wad of cash. He nods towards the man beside him and puts on his best fawning smile.
”Be careful sir, she's quite dangerous.”
The man ignores the guard and turns to look at the mess of a human being curled up on the ground.
”Biǎomèi (cousin)”
Hearing the voice, Su Mo Chou pauses abruptly. It's a voice she hasn't heard in over twelve years.
She looks up at him and he continues to stares at her. His eyes are extremely gentle.
”Shen Xun, it's really you. You're alive.”
She knows the man who just arrived, her cousin. The older brother of the two girls who would bully her after she became an orphan. The girls she murdered with her own hands along with her aunt.
Remembering how it felt to take the lives of her oppressors, Shen Xun laughs manically. Murder is the way to solve everything. If she had killed Su Lian too, then everything would have turned out just fine.
The young man ignores her crazy laughter and looks at her with eyes filled with concern and desperation. ”Shen Xun tell me what happened that night? How did you survive? How did you become like this? Do you know where my mother and sisters are, did they survive too?”
Shen Xun continues to laugh as if she's just heard the funniest joke ever told.
”After father heard the news, he died of a heart attack. It had only been me alone in that house ever since. Since you were alive why didn't you come?”
Shen Xun stops laughing and smiles evilly. ”You want to know why I didn't come? I ran away because I killed them.”
The young man's body freezes. ”You- you what?”
She points at the scar on her face. ”Look, look at what they did to me. They deserve death and that's what I gave them. I drowned all three of them. Their bodies should be underwater at the resort that we were staying at. Unless they got eaten by sharks or something.”
Shen Xun's manic laughter continues and the man snaps out of his daze and looks at her viciously, unable to believe that someone could actually be capable of all of this. He grabs her neck and chokes her through the metal bars. ”THEY DESERVED DEATH??? Shen Xun one was sixteen and the other one was thirteen. In your mind, teenagers deserve to be killed?”
Shen Xun's face starts to turn blue before a guard rushes in to pull the young man off of her.
She coughs violently, but soon after she resumes her laughter. ”Even if you killed me, it won't bring them back.”
