Xu Chenyao clutched the wall, her breathing ragged, as sweat dripped down her face.
The mere mention of that past incident triggered a panic attack, her heart racing, her vision blurring, and her body trembling uncontrollably.
She felt like she was drowning, the memories of that fateful day flooding her mind like a tidal wave. The sound of Madam Bai's voice, the look of disgust on her face, the cold smile on Bai Youyou's face, it all came rushing back. Xu Chenyao's legs buckled, and she slid to the floor, her body wracked with sobs.
Bai Youyou's words still echoed in her mind, a constant reminder of her shame and guilt that haunted her. "Just stay quiet and serve my sentence, after all what can a countryside bumpkin amount to.."
she had said, her voice laced with venom. Xu Chenyao's heart felt like it was being ripped apart, the pain and anguish threatening to consume her.
"I can't breathe, someone help me...I didn't do anything.."
