It hurts... it hurts so much...
Jiang Xiaonan waved her arms, struggling desperately.
She never imagined that one day her beloved older brother, whom she had always admired, would cause her so much pain.
She felt awful, as if her entire body was consumed by fire.
There was another kind of pain, a stinging, pounding pain.
Her heart ached too; she dreamt she was tightly bound by her limbs.
Her older brother held a sharp scalpel, approaching her step by step.
She couldn't move, just stared wide-eyed as he held the scalpel, drilling into her chest and slowly extracting her heart.
That heart that held so many little secrets unknown to others.
That heart, shattered bit by bit without mercy.
Jiang Xiaonan was soaked in sweat, her clothes entirely drenched.
Submerged in her nightmare, she could only struggle painfully without anyone to gently wake her from her torment.
In the second half of the night, her fever worsened.
