On the second day,

"Zhiye, I need to go to the bathroom, please..."

I endured until my face twisted in pain,

"Sign this marriage application, and I will let you go."

Zhiye still held the paper and pen,

"I can't be with you, and we won't be happy together."

"Why?" I asked,

"I don't like you... don't you understand?" she replied.

I was reaching my limit,

"I like Jerry, isn't that enough?"

"Enough!" I shouted at her,

"Even if Jerry yells at me or scolds me, I won't change my mind because I love Jerry so much. And Jerry said he likes me too, he will never betray me. I know you are being deceived by her, but even if I can't kill her, I will find a way to save Jerry because love... the power of love can change everything."

"Zhiye, stop being stubborn..." I couldn't hold it in anymore,

"I'm not the one being stubborn, Jerry is!" she retorted,

"Damn! Damn!" I waved my arms and legs, trying to break free but it was useless. It even caused me to lose control,

A warm, wet sensation spread in my crotch. It was the most embarrassing experience since I became an adult,

I closed my eyes, feeling tears welling up in my heart.

On the third day,

"Jerry, are you hungry?" Zhiye had prepared some food on the table as usual,

"Not hungry..." I could barely speak, feeling as if I only had a breath left,

"I made this porridge with a lot of effort. Feiya said it's very delicious..."

Feiya? I hadn't seen her for the past couple of days, but as long as she was fine, I felt relieved,

"Are you sure you don't want to eat?" Zhiye asked again. I turned my head away and ignored her,

"It's okay, I can wait... I'll wait until Jerry comes to his senses and agrees to sign this marriage application."

I replied with silence,

"I won't bother Jerry anymore..." Zhiye said and left with the food,

On the fourth day,

The room filled with a foul odor. I felt like I couldn't hold on any longer, extremely thirsty and dizzy from hunger to the point of losing consciousness,

With my last bit of strength, I struggled and twisted,

"Damn! Damn! Let go!"

But no matter how hard I tried, it was in vain. I felt hopeless, I gave up. Just before I died, I really wanted to see Su Yuqian, I missed her so much,

Tears streamed down my dried eye sockets. Would I die in this room like this, with no one knowing?

I didn't have the strength to shout anymore, or to struggle,

I could only close my eyes and wait for death. Zhiye didn't show up today for some reason,

Suddenly, I heard the sound of the door being unlocked. Was it Zhiye? I really hoped it was someone else, coming to rescue me,

I silently prayed in my heart, my eyes fixed on the door,

The room cracked open, and then slowly pushed open. The dimness in the room was relieved,

It wasn't Zhiye who appeared before me, but Feiya,

"Feiya..." I called out with my dry throat,

"Yujie gege..."

Feiya walked beside me, covering her nose,

"I'm sorry, I know it smells bad, but can you... untie me?" I pleaded in a low voice,

"It's okay... Feiya is here to save Yujie gege. I'm really sorry, Feiya only found the key that Zhiye jiejie hid now. I came to save you at this time,"

Feiya said guiltily,

"It's okay... I'm already very grateful that Feiya came to save me..."

"Yujie gege, let me untie you," Feiya started untying the cloth that bound me, but she wasn't strong enough to untie it,

"Yujie gege..." Feiya started crying with anxiety,

"Don't worry, don't cry. Use the small knife, use the small knife,"

"Oh!" Feiya took out a small knife from the drawer and used the blade to rub against the tightly bound cloth,

After some effort, my hands were finally freed. Then I took the knife from Feiya's hand and used it to untie the cloth around my legs.Getting out of bed, I felt unstable on my feet, but the newfound lease on life gave me a strong will to survive.

"Where is Zhiye?" I asked Feya.

"Zhiye sister went to handle your and her withdrawal application," she replied.

"How long has she been gone?"

"It should have been twenty minutes," Feya paused and spoke again, "This home is not a place we can stay."

"Well then, Yujie brother should leave quickly."

"What about Feya?"

"Feya will be fine. Zhiye sister won't do anything to her," Feya responded with a smile.

"But..." I had some concerns.

"Yujie brother, leave quickly. Once Zhiye sister comes back, we won't be able to escape again."

I clenched my teeth and rushed out of the house. As I distanced myself from home, I realized I had no money and hadn't even changed my clothes. I smelled awful. With nowhere else to go, I thought of Su Yuqian, so I ran towards her house.
