Chapter 1 Being a Pond Fish
No more directory next chapter

In the early spring of 2019, Mei Yali, who was about to turn 30, packed her suitcase, boarded a plane as if escaping, and headed straight for H Province.

In order to avoid her mother's omnipresent curse of urging her to get married, she decided to spend her rare few days of vacation in H Province.

"Xiaomei"

"Yali"

“Here, here”

Amid the repeated calls of her college roommate whom she had not seen for five years, Mei Yali dragged her suitcase and quickly ran to the door of the homestay where they had agreed to meet.

However, she had only run four or five steps away when a bullet from nowhere hit her right temple with a bang.

The moment the pain came, the smile of pure joy on Mei Yali's face remained the same as before.

However, those people who made her smile so happily were no longer in her sight.

The terrified cries of her friends drifted farther and farther away, and instead another gunshot rang out like thunder in Mei Yali's ears.

Before closing her eyes, Mei Yali caught a glimpse of the face of a handsome and masculine adult man. The man's face, like hers, was stained with a shocking bright red.

The only difference was probably that her wounds were on both sides of her head, while the man's wound was on his forehead.

She is... a fish in the pond

"...Don't think I don't know what you are doing with my son. You tie a man to your belt every day. Are you so short of men? I have lived for so many years and have never seen a slut like you. How did your parents teach you? Or is this the tradition of your She family..."

The unusually loud shout was followed by a long string of obscenities, which made Mei Yali feel furious.

She wanted to glare at him fiercely and use her most ferocious expression to shut him up, but her body was completely out of her control.

She tried hard to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead. She tried her best but failed to open them.

Mei Yali was getting anxious when a few drops of warm liquid fell on her facial skin one after another.

At the same time, a low, almost inaudible female voice sounded above her head, "I... can't stand it anymore, let's... get a divorce. This life... is not a way for human beings to live."

"Just do it for my sake..."

"This... You have said this several times." The woman, who was suppressing her tears and speaking in a low voice, interrupted the pleading words of the man in front of her in a decisive manner.

"From childhood to adulthood, all the scoldings I have received over the past twenty years are not as much as the scolding I have received from your mother in the past one or two years." Maybe it was because she had already said the word "divorce", the woman's tone gradually calmed down.

Mei Yali listened and felt that the woman's voice contained a kind of calmness that came from finally giving up after experiencing despair again and again.

The feeling that nothing mattered anymore was fully expressed in her every word.

"I will take Yali away. Your mother will torture her to death if she is left alone with such a young child. As for you...you can marry another one and live your life well."

The slight pauses and ups and downs revealed the suppressed sadness and misery. When Mei Yali heard this, her eyes couldn't help but feel slightly warm.
