A door separated two worlds. Outside, there was the intoxicating scent of perfumes and the clinking of glasses. Inside, it was quiet and desolate, filled with a lonely silence. Zhou An'an's family is hosting a banquet to celebrate her older sister, Zhou Yunjin, winning the Most Charismatic Singer award at the Wireless Wind and Cloud Awards. It's my birthday today, but no one in my family knows. Zhou An'an disliked meeting people. When she was little, her forehead got split open and left two hideous scars. Those scars remained on her forehead for a long time. On the fair skin, two scars protruded outward, resembling twisted earthworms or a deliberate cross carved onto the forehead with a knife, making the entire face look ferocious. He couldn't remember how he had fallen like that. After this scar, everyone who sees it will be frightened, then fearful, disgusted, and stay away. There was only one exception, that was her boyfriend Lin Li. Besides the initial surprise, Lin Li was especially warm towards her. Lin Li said, "A person's appearance doesn't matter much, what men look for is more of a person's talent, charisma and temperament." Lin Li also said that he likes and expects to build a warm family, and have several lovely children. Treat everything Lin Li said as a holy edict. Wow, Mom and sister brought such a great guy to me! The commotion subsided, and silence fell outside the room. Zhou An'an opened the door, holding a stack of newly composed sheet music manuscripts, ready to give them to her older sister Zhou Yunjin. As Zhou An'an passed by the guest room, she heard strange noises coming from inside. Zhou An'an wasn't usually a curious person, but at that moment, she found herself inexplicably pushing open the door. Zhou An'an stared in disbelief at the scene before her, the man and human-shaped shadow so glaring! Zhou An'an was shocked to her core, she couldn't believe her own eyes! She even suspected it was a nightmare. Zhou An'an felt weak in the limbs and unsteady on her feet, taking two steps back and knocking over the chair behind her. The sound of a chair crashing to the floor startled the person in bed. However, the two did not stop there. Zhou An'an wanted to flee the scene, but her steps felt like lead. Her heart ached, trembled, and breathed heavily with disbelief at the sight before her! Close your eyes, try to convince yourself that this isn't real! However, the sound of Mi relentlessly reminds you, this is real! The best boyfriend and the dearest sister, right in front of me, brazenly doing the most disgusting things! Zhou Yunjin's face was flushed red, and he said to Zhou An'an: "So you saw me! It's nothing anyway, after all, Lin Li won't be coming back!" "Have you heard that Lin Li hasn't been with you yet? He's so good at it. Maybe you should give it a try?" Lin Li stood there and said to Zhou An'an, "Don't worry, Miss Zhou Er. Let me wait on your elder sister first, then I'll come serve you!" Zhou Anan's fingers trembled: "You... how could you do this? You have no shame!" Zhou Yunjin smiled and said, "An'an, Lin Li is the top card at the night club. He's going to be past his prime soon! After all, we only signed a six-month contract with Lin Li. If we want to hire him again later, it'll cost more!" Zhou An'an's heart was filled with panic, sinking to the bottom of an abyss: "What contract? What nightclub headliner! You and Mom clearly said he was a high executive at the company!" Zhou Yunjin gave Zhou Anan a contemptuous glance, her words like daggers aimed at Zhou Anan: "Don't you even look in the mirror? What kind of daydreams are you having?" If there were really handsome company executives like Lin Li, how could they possibly be interested in you! "It's just to let you taste what it's like, I wrote a few songs about it!" Lin Li was introduced to me by my mom and sister a year ago! I thought I had found it. It turned out to be a deception with ulterior motives! The bite held on, tearing with each gash. One blow after another left him stunned and speechless! What other facts is Zhou Yunjin hiding? Zhou Yunjin, with a drunken air, said, "An An, thank you for always writing me songs! Now, I'm the most powerful singer-songwriter in the music scene, and I'll be able to get this Golden Sparrow Award nomination soon. Lin Li can retire now. It's a waste of his talent for him to accompany you in acting at this price!" Zhou An'an's heart felt as though it had been slashed by a knife, the sharp pain causing her to tremble uncontrollably. She even forgot to breathe, her vision blurring with dizziness. Zhou Anan walked out of the room step by step, her manuscript already crumpled in her hand. Then came the sound of laughter and playfulness. Back in her room, Zhou Anan sat alone, hugging her knees until dawn. She stayed in the room for two full days and nights, not eating or drinking. No one at home noticed her unusual behavior. Zhou Anan walked out of her house, wandering aimlessly on the street. She had no tears left, they had dried long ago. I just feel so lost, full of scars, desolate and weary. In this vast and empty world, I can't find a warm place to shelter. Zhou An'an didn't know how long she had walked, and was now sitting down leaning against the wall by the roadside. Wanting to quietly think about her own things, she was distracted by the loud noise. Zhou An'an looked up and saw a pair of men next to her who seemed to be arguing. A little girl was crying to the man, "I'm sorry, I can't marry you! I don't want to live in a rented apartment my whole life and have to carefully count every penny we spend on groceries. Please forgive me!" Haha, another abandoned person! Zhou Anan's heart ached a little, but also felt a strange sense of schadenfreude! There are so many unfortunate people in the world, she wasn't the only one. Zi Zhuan left, Zhou An'an stood up and came to the man: "I won't marry you, but I will! If you don't mind that I'm ugly! I don't mind that you're poor!" Zhou An'an pushed up her heavy bangs, revealing two faint, twisted, and ferocious scars above her brow. Zhou An'an's five actually looked extremely beautiful, but just like this scar, her face appeared to be like a ruined painting, with a hint of ferocious and terrifying. The person came back and shoved Zhou An'an: "Get out of here! What does this have to do with you!" Zhou An'an stumbled, and a hand reached out to steady her. Zhou An'an challenged, "Didn't you say you didn't want him? If you don't want him, I do! And I will take care of him, I'll be responsible for him from now on! Hey, you! Do you want to marry me?" Ziqi was so angry she wanted to explode, just about to scold Zhou An'an. But then she heard a deep and mellow voice: "Okay! I'll marry you!" A rough hand grasped Zhou An'an's delicate one, pulling her towards the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau. The children were dumbfounded! Zhou Anan sat in the dim basement rental, holding two red notebooks, feeling a little dazed. She had actually married a man she'd only known for ten minutes! I only just now took a good look at my husband, Zhang Mo Han. His eyebrows were wide-set, with two sword brows that soared skyward. His eyes were deep-set and long, his nose high and sharp like a blade. He was tall and lean, even in the simplest white T-shirt, he carried himself with an air of distinction. Such a man was actually a construction worker who carried bricks. Zhou An'an found it hard to believe. He looked so elegant, he didn't seem like a bricklayer at all. However, looking at his thin and dry skin, it was slightly rough and dark. There were small scars on his fingers, and all of his clothes added up to less than 100 yuan. This shows that this man's circumstances are truly very difficult. Zhou An'an coughed, just about to speak, when Zhang Mo'han spoke in a languid tone: "You said you would take care of me?" Zhou An'an hurriedly took out her card and transferred 50,000 yuan to her freshly baked husband: "This is for household expenses, take it first!" Zhang Mo'han saw the notification sound on his phone, his slender eyebrows raised slightly, and he answered without a word. Zhou An'an is actually getting a bit of a headache now. In a moment of impulsiveness, she seems to have gotten herself into trouble. ……………… Zhou An'an received a call from her mother, Yunqi. She glanced at Zhang Mo寒 and put it on speaker: "An'an, where did you run off to? Can you give me some peace of mind? Aren't you always writing songs at home recently? How come I searched your entire room and couldn't find a single one? Where are your new songs?" Zhou An'an packed her bag, and when she went out today, she unconsciously put all her manuscripts in the bag. She heard herself calmly say, "Mom, I haven't been feeling inspired lately, I can't even write a song." "What? You can't even write one song? What are you doing, you haven't written a new song in ages! How could you not be able to write? What am I supposed to do?" Yunqi's voice was a little sharp. "I don't care, Zhou Anan, next month, I want to see your new song!" "Tonight your sister has a business dinner. She had too much to drink last night and now has a headache and can't get up. You need to go in her place tonight. At tonight's dinner, no matter what you do, you must help your sister finalize the contract for the "Primal Wilderness" theme song..." |
