in the month you disappeared

"This is your package, please sign for it."

……

The package is heavy.Tear open the wrapping paper, it is a delicate off-white large box.The sending date was the day before Lu Jun left.

Zheng Xi lifted the lid of the box, unable to turn his eyes away.

On the paper sign is the familiar Zhang Yang handwriting.

"onlyforyou_Lu Jun."

No superfluous explanation.

Zheng Xi gently reached out and stroked.

This is a skirt woven from pearls.The round white pearls emit a moving light in the morning light.Probably nothing more than the dress Cinderella wore to the ball.

pearl……

"I want to see you with your pearl earrings."

"Why pearls, don't you think dirt?"

"It's beautiful to wear."

"My mother gave me a pair of pearl earrings."

……

Zheng Xi touched the earlobe, and the pierced ear had already healed.

She sat down and slowly slid her fingers over the plump pearls, like frozen tears.

"Ring, ring, ring..." The doorbell rang again.

Zheng Xi was immersed in his own thoughts, and opened the door chaotically.

A young man with a cropped cut.

"Hello, is Miss Wu here?"

"she's not……"

A burst of white spray sprayed on Zheng Xi's face.

Wu Jin knocked on the door, but the door was ajar.

She went in.

A dazzling beaded dress on a dark sofa in the living room caught her eye.

"Are you there?"

"I'm Wu Jin."

Wu Jin pressed the dial button, and a bell rang in the room next door.

On the bedside table in the guest room, Zheng Xi's cell phone was vibrating.

……

"Hey?"

"She was not at home."

"You said Zheng Xi didn't go to work?"

Before Wu Jin decided to call the police, he received an email.

Zheng Xi opened her eyes, she was tied hands and feet, gagged, and locked in an empty warehouse.Dust everywhere.

Seeing that she was awake, the man came over vigilantly with a shining knife in his hand.

"What do you want to do?"

The man held the knife, "You stay calm, don't play tricks, or..." He waved the knife in his hand.

Zheng Xi's fingernails tied behind his back forcefully dug into his palm.

"What enmity do I have with you?"

The man sneered, "It's Wu Jin who has a grudge against me, she should go to jail! I want her to be ruined!"

Zheng Xi gasped, his face turned pale.

"Cooperate well. As long as she surrenders herself, I will let you go immediately."

"If you do this, it is a crime of kidnapping, and you will lose your reputation, you know?!" Zheng Xi said in a deliberately threatening tone.

Sure enough, the young man's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Stop educating me!"

Zheng Xi sighed.

"Why are you sighing?!"

"My cousin is about the same age as you. He just graduated from P Institute of Technology this year. I suddenly thought of him."

The man's hand holding the knife trembled suddenly, and one hand was clenched tightly.

Zheng Xi was keenly aware of this change, and said smoothly, "He has liked to play with car models since he was a child. He has just signed a contract with a car company, and his bright future has just begun."

The man didn't stop her from talking, and sat down on the other side, coldly playing with the knife in his hand, Zheng Xi's back was sweating coldly.

A moment of silence.

"I... I don't want to go this far either, they forced me!" the man growled.

Zheng Xi said softly, "Why don't you tell me this matter, if it's really unfair to you, then everyone can negotiate! I can help you...as long as you don't hurt me."

The man looked at her fixedly, Zheng Xi's expression was very sincere.

"You... can you help me?"

Zheng Xi also stared at him, slowly showing a smile.

The man lowered his head.

"You look like my sister when you smile."

Zheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your sister?"

"She died... was killed by Wu Jin!" The man blushed and said in a stiff tone, "If they hadn't done that harmful experiment, my sister wouldn't have died! She's only 20 years old! They ...they should be damned!"

The man's eye circles were red, and tears were streaming from the corners of his eyes.

Zheng Xi couldn't help but hold his breath.Suddenly, his body was like half ice and half raging fire.

"My sister agreed to accompany me, find a brother-in-law for me, and live a happy life together! It's all gone, all gone, and only a cold corpse is left!!! Why! They killed people and got away with it!"

"Those so-called upper-class people, those decent people, are not enough to squeeze our labor and dignity, and they have to trample human lives under their feet!"

The man beat the ground vigorously with one hand, and threw the knife into a pile of weeds with the other.

Zheng Xi opened his mouth, and the fear all over his body suddenly turned into various complex emotions.

The man came over suddenly, held her by the shoulder, and looked at her helplessly, "Can you help me? Can you help me?"

Wu Jin drove back to the apartment that was almost covered in dust.

It's been three years, and I haven't been back here for three years.

She walked in through the front door.

One room is locked.Wu Jin unlocked the lock and pushed the door open.

There was a peculiar smell in the room.

The huge solid wood bookshelves are full of professional books in foreign languages.Wu Jin continued to walk in, and pushed open the sliding door on the inside.

There are all the honors she has received since she was a child.One of the special awards was presented to a Chinese student for the first time by that school, with a photo of the dean shaking her hand next to it.

The hand that Wu Jin stretched out in mid-air to grab it fell down.

She stood there, motionless.

……

"Although you have given up this profession; but have you given up the fame and glory that this profession once brought you? Have you given up the superior capital that you are proud of in your heart? You are just deceiving yourself!"

Just kidding yourself!

"You've been so self-righteous for too long, you can't save anyone! You think you're omnipotent only because of your ignorance! Save yourself first!"

You can't save anyone!

"It's just empathy!"

No one loves you!They abandon you so easily!Leaving you!hurt you! ! !
