Gu Yuanzhou's dominance was simply suffocating.
He wouldn't take a single step back, and I felt like he was holding me in the palm of his hand, firmly grasping my throat and vital parts.
I was like a fish on his chopping board, all my struggles were of a dying, futile nature.
I held the phone, my fists clenched tightly.
The suffocation in my heart lingered for a long time...
On the street corner, where the lights were dim, an old man was pushing a cart, selling pineapples. Next to the neatly stacked pineapples was a gleaming fruit knife.
I touched my abdomen, where a scar left by Ayu remained.
I pulled out a red banknote from my bag and handed it to the old man,
"I want that…"
"Miss, are you buying pineapples? This money can buy a lot of pineapples. Our pineapples are big and sweet, very juicy. Which one would you like?"
"Old man, I just want that knife!"
The old man was visibly shocked.
