"Didn't I tell you not to look for me in school?!" Liu Tao said impatiently.
"Brother Liu Tao, I really need your help. You're the only one in school who can help me. Please, I need to ask you a question," I beg Liu Tao.
"How many times have I said this? I'm not your brother! If you have something to ask, ask it quickly."
Liu Tao had never wanted to recognize me as his sister.
"Are girls supposed to wear something inside?" I voiced my question.
"A bra? Damn, don't tell me you don't even know this?" Liu Tao looked at me in shock.
"Then, Brother Liu Tao, can you help me buy one? I don't have money."
Liu Tao did not speak. He only looked at my chest and then said even more impatiently, "What do you take me for? An errand boy? Get lost quickly and leave me alone."
Hearing his words, I hurriedly ran back to the classroom. Although Liu Tao had never hit me, he had always acted very irritable. I was very afraid of him.
When I returned home, I was alone. I sat in a chair in my bedroom and wondered if I should ask Instructor Liu to help me buy a bra. However, my subconscious still resisted him greatly. Which was why I went to ask Liu Tao for help.
Just as my mind was wandering as I procrastinated on my homework, I heard the door open. I thought that Instructor Liu had returned, so I hurriedly pretended to be focused on my homework.
That person went straight to the room. I didn't dare to look up. Instructor Liu told me to be focused on my homework and not be disturbed by anything else. Back then, in order to train my ability to be focused on my homework, he often made me sit on his lap. Then, he would touch me.
"Here you go." As he spoke, the person threw a black plastic bag on the table.
I could tell that it was Liu Tao. I looked up and saw that his face was already red.
Liu Tao ignored me and returned to his room.
I opened the plastic bag curiously and found that the bra I wanted was inside. The reason why I knew this was because there were still some words in the bag. Judging from the words, they should be written by Liu Tao.
Later on, I learned that Liu Tao had returned late that day. Not only did he buy me the bra, but he also learned from the shop assistant how to wear it and wrote it down.
I happily tried it on. It took a lot of trial and error before I succeeded.
That night, when Instructor Liu discovered that I was wearing a bra, he added a new activity to our routine: helping me put on my bra.
However, Instructor Liu seemed to be really stupid. He had to help me many times before he could put the bra on. Every time he did that, I would be scratched by the bra painfully. However, I didn't dare to make a sound. Every time, Instructor Liu had to wait for my chest to turn red before he could successfully put it on.
I didn't care about that. After all, Instructor Liu had helped me put on my clothes over the years. To be honest, Instructor Liu was still much better than my father. I always just thought that Instructor Liu was only helping me.
However, I still instinctively resisted him. I don't know why.
In the next year, Instructor Liu would come to my room every night. Instructor Liu told me that the reason he wouldn't let me lock the door was that he was afraid that I would kick the blanket during my sleep.
Every time he visited me, he would see if I was asleep. Even if I was not, I would still pretend to be asleep because I don't know what he would do to me if I was awake.
Every time Instructor Liu came over, he would lie down beside me. However, he wouldn't do anything. It was as if he was really covering me with a blanket. I could feel this every time, but I never dared to move or make a sound.
Instructor Liu wouldn't leave until I pretended to be uncomfortable and tried to turn over.
In the blink of an eye, I was already in eighth grade.
That day, Instructor Liu did not return home until night. When he came back, he was drunk. This reminded me of the scene of my father suddenly pressing me down when he was drunk.
I was so frightened that I trembled, thinking crazily about what I should do.
Liu Tao.
At that moment, I quickly thought of Liu Tao. The only person who could save me now was my brother, who was very fierce toward me.
At this moment, I ignored Liu Tao's warning that I should never go into his room.
"Who let you in? Didn't I tell you not to enter my room?" Liu Tao, who was playing games, said fiercely when he saw me enter.
"Brother Liu Tao, can you let me hide in your room for a while? Just a while."
"No, don't you have your own room? Go stay in your room. Get lost!"
Liu Tao was still as ferocious as ever.
"I beg you, Brother Liu Tao."
I was so anxious that I cried. Other than Liu Tao, no one could save me now.
Just as Liu Tao was about to speak, I heard Instructor Liu's heavy footsteps.
I was so frightened that I hid under Liu Tao's blanket.
"Where's Shen Ling? Did you see her?" Instructor Liu had already arrived at Liu Tao's door and asked him vaguely.
I prayed crazily in my heart that Liu Tao wouldn't expose me.
"I did. She's in my room." Hearing this, my heart instantly turned cold. It was as if I already knew what I would be facing later.
"What's she doing in your room? Get her out!"
"She's already asleep. Why would you wake her up?"
Hearing this, my heart calmed down again. I knew that Liu Tao was protecting me, but I didn't know if he could resist Instructor Liu.
"Why is this girl sleeping in your room?! Quickly wake her up."
"Why are your thoughts so dirty? This is my sister. Moreover, she's already asleep. Why would you wake her up?"
"When did the two of you become so close?"
"Didn't you ask me to treat her well? She was afraid of sleeping alone, so I let her sleep in my room."
After that, I didn't hear Instructor Liu say anything. After waiting for a while and confirming that there was no movement, I quietly stuck my head out of the blanket and secretly looked outside.
"He's gone. Stop hiding. Look at how cowardly you are."
Liu Tao had a disdainful expression.
"Thank you, Brother Liu Tao."
"How troublesome. If you're still afraid, just sleep here," Liu Tao said mercilessly, but I could still sense that his attitude towards me had improved.
"Alright, I'll get the blanket now." Then, I quickly ran into my room and came back with the blanket.
"Brother Liu Tao, can I still sleep here in the future?"
"No! Don't even think about it!"
Although Liu Tao said this, I always ran to his room every few days after that. At first, Liu Tao would scold me and chase me away, but later on, he slowly got used to it.
During this period, I also clearly received less harassment from Instructor Liu. However, what made me happier was that I became even closer to Liu Tao.
This life lasted until the winter of that year. Instructor Liu gradually stopped hiding his mask and began to reveal his true appearance.
