She was shocked. Even though she was a little dazed, she knew what was going on, so she immediately opened her mouth to scream for help. However, the moment she opened her mouth, she felt another mouth silencing her.
That night, Mu Ru had been tortured by the devil countless times. She only remembered fainting while the devil was still torturing her.
"Little lazy pig, get up quickly...Little lazy pig, get up quickly..."
Mu Ru was awakened by the sound of her ringtone. She raised herself as she tried to get up. Her whole body was aching.
She took out her phone from her bag. As soon as she accepted the call, her best friend's voice roared like thunder.
"Xi Muru, where the hell have you been these past two days? Why didn't you come to school?" Cheng Feier asked.
Mu Ru then realized that she had been absent from school for two days. She was married last Sunday, and it was already Wednesday. Her inexplicable absence from school had alarmed Cheng Feier.
"I'm sick."
Mu Ru immediately came up with an excuse. She even tried to sound sick.
She added, "It seems to be a bad cold. Help me apply for a few days of leave. I'll come to school when I've recovered from my cold."
Mu Ru did not bother to wait for Cheng Feier to react. She immediately ended the call. Seeing that the room, with its thick floor-to-ceiling windows, was already brightly lit, she hurriedly got out of bed.
She could faintly smell the scent of a man. She quickly pulled open the curtains and let the wind blow in, dispersing the disgusting scent.
By the time Mu Ru had showered and changed, the Dongfang family had already had their breakfast. The house was very quiet. Even Mother Liu was nowhere to be seen. She secretly felt happy that no one was around, and she did not even bother to eat breakfast. She went upstairs to get her bag and quickly ran out of the door.
When Mu Ru arrived in school, she was already late. It was already their second class for the day. She had sneaked in from behind. She sat next to her best friend, Cheng Feier, beside whom there was an empty seat.
"Wow. Xi Muru, why are you here? Didn't you say you had a cold?" Cheng Feier asked.
Cheng Feier was shocked to see Mu Ru. She did not expect to see her that day. She took out a piece of paper to write a note to Mu Ru.
She wrote: "You recovered from your cold so quickly?" She then handed it to Mu Ru.
Mu Ru wrote: "I took two pills for the cold."
Mu Ru was quickly writing her response to Cheng Feier.
She wrote: "Medicines for colds nowadays are so effective. I've never taken any medicines before. It'll definitely take effect quickly."
Cheng Feier looked at her in confusion and did not say anything more. Instead, she propped her head on her hand, as if to show that she was engrossed in the lesson. In fact, she was scribbling and doodling on the back of her notebook. She was drawing a little turtle.
Mu Ru also pretended to listen to the lesson seriously. However, she was too late. She had no idea what the teacher was saying. She wasn't able to catch up to the lesson. Also, she found it hard to calm down and focus because her mind was replaying scenes from what happened the night before.
