When we returned to the park, it was already two o'clock in the morning.
I dragged my extremely tired body and staggered into my small dormitory.
As soon as I entered the door, I took off my dull clothes that were stained by sweat and dust and threw them into the trash can in the corner.
I walked into the bathroom naked.
The light in the bathroom was dim, but it couldn't hide my fatigue.
Standing in front of the sink, facing the mirror, I began to look at myself.
The person in the mirror looked pale, like a dead person's face.
On the left side of his face, there was a scar scratched by a branch, extending from the center of the eyebrow to the edge of the cheek. It was red, swollen and painful.
This scar is uneven. When I see it, I think of the time I was running in the forest in the dark night.
My eyes were bloodshot and incredibly red.
I suddenly felt like I was looking at a stranger, a stranger I had never seen before, but who terrified me deeply.
I stood in front of the mirror for a long time before I went under the shower and turned on the faucet with trembling hands.
Cold water poured down from the top of my head instantly, like an icy awl, piercing straight into the deepest part of my heart.
My skin instantly turned cold under the impact of the water, making me shiver.
But I didn't avoid it. I let the cold water soak into my hair, flow over my face, and wash away the scars that had not yet healed.
I closed my eyes and let the cold water sweep over my shoulders and neck... my chest... my back... until my toes.
This kind of coldness is so biting and thorough, as if it will freeze my whole body in place.
I felt like my breathing was becoming difficult, and every breath felt like I was struggling in a cold ice cave.
But, I still didn’t escape!
I stood under the cold water and let it wash away the dirt on my body and the fear in my heart.
That kind of coldness seems to be the only reality I can feel in this electronic fraud park.
Soon my body was shaking with cold and my teeth were chattering, but I did not retreat.
I told myself in my heart that this is the only pain I can face alone and the only pain I can feel - this is my pain, my torture, my reality!
……
Early the next morning, I got up and went to the group.
I stayed in the office all morning, sorting out the performance reports of the group during this period. After lunch, I set aside two hours for myself to read and study.
In the afternoon, I was really sleepy, so I took a nap for ten minutes.
In the evening, Zhu Kui sent a message asking me to come find him.
When he got there, he had just gotten up, and there was a woman hiding under the quilt in his room.
Zhu Kui gave me [-] yuan in chips, and then said to me with a smile: "You can use the money first. If it is not enough, you can talk to me later."
"That's enough Brother Kui."
He patted me on the shoulder: "Do you know what I like most about you?"
I forced a smile and shook my head.
"What I like most is that you are not greedy." He said with a smile, then raised his eyebrows and said, "By the way, didn't I leave a woman for you last time? You can find Agou later and take her away. .”
Agou is one of Zhu Kui's subordinates, responsible for taking care of the piglets.
I originally wanted to refuse his "kindness", but after thinking about it, I nodded and agreed: "Thank you, Brother Kui."
"No need to thank you, but I want to say hello to you in advance. That woman looks good, but she can bite people, so be careful."
"Okay, I see."
After coming out of Zhu Kui's residence, I was about to go find Ah Gou when Ah Dao sent me a message: Did I just see you coming?
I sent a message back: I just met Brother Kui, and I will go over to your side now.
Ah Dao lives on the third floor, and I have been to his place once before.
The layout of the room is the same as mine, the layout of a standard hotel room.
But Ah Dao's room is much tidier than Zhu Kui's, and I don't know if he has any mysophobia.
The whole house can be described as spotless, and it also has a faint smell of green plants.
Beside the window, he raised a lot of green plants, including money trees, green bamboos, and orchids.
When I entered the house, Ah Dao was holding a watering can and scissors, pruning the green plants.
Seeing me coming, he put down the tools in his hands and asked me to sit wherever I wanted.
I sat on the sofa, took out the chips from my pocket and put them on the table.
Ah Dao glanced at it: "Twenty thousand? That's all he gave you?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Kui said, give me this much first, and he will give it to me later if it's not enough."
"What a fucking sting!"
Ah Dao cursed, took out a cigarette and threw it to me, then sat aside: "Yang Lei, should I call you honest, or should I call you stupid?"
I smiled and didn't reply.
"You will take whatever he gives you? You won't bargain with him?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Dao, it's not like you don't know what's going on with me. How long have I been with Brother Kui..."
"That's right." Ah Dao said, "You should ask Lao Zhu to transfer you to the human resources department. There are so many things going on in the marketing department every day, so it's hard for you to stay here."
"Fortunately, it's mainly because the marketing department is used to it. Besides, in your human resources department, I can't do a lot of work..."
"That's right." Ah Dao said with a smile, "You look like a gentle and weak guy..."
Having said this, he suddenly asked: "By the way, you haven't killed anyone yet, have you?"
I was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
He smiled disdainfully and said, "When there is a chance in the future, I will let you practice your courage."
I laughed twice: "Brother Dao, please stop making fun of me. Even if you lend me ten courages, I won't dare to kill anyone."
After a few words, Ah Dao said he would treat me to dinner in a few days, so I left him.
Immediately afterwards, I went to find Agou.
I didn't have much interest in the woman Zhu Kui gave me.
It's not that I'm not interested in women, but I don't like to be forced or threatened into having a relationship.
In my opinion, I think that kind of thing must be consensual between you and me.
Although I am not a gentleman, nor can I be said to be a good person, I still have the bottom line of being a human being.
Zhu Kui had greeted Agou beforehand, and I went to him to explain the situation.
He took me to a security door, took out a bunch of keys, and said to me with a lewd smile as he opened the door: "This woman doesn't look very good, but she has a very strong temper. Take it back with you." If the training is not good, I can help you later."
I smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Dog. I'll take the person back first."
After the door opened, waves of stench came from the room.
I saw a woman with disheveled hair sitting in the corner of the empty room.
She hugged her knees, huddled in the corner, her head lowered, and I couldn't see her face clearly.
