Ji Huai slept in the rest room of the office.

There was a pouring rain outside the window, and the water blurred the glass windows.

The low-temperature air conditioner in the room whines, like you are sobbing and crying.

He was lying on the bed, sleeping extremely uneasily, with his brows furrowed.

A voice kept lingering in my ears, but I couldn't see clearly what the speaker looked like. Like glass wetted by rain, hazy.

Rainy night, woods.

He stepped on the dirt and lost half of his foot.

The last picture before going to sleep entangled him like a curse, pulling him down, down...

Dragging people into the mire that swallows them up.

Ji Huai seemed to be in an abandoned factory somewhere deep in the mountains. There were rooms that had never seen the light of day, a lingering musty smell, irritating crying, and malicious beatings and scoldings.

The walls are mottled with scratches carved with fingernails, some with blood stains.

Scribbling and shocking.

He should be scared, but there were a pair of small hands holding him, gently comforting him, as if comforting himself, saying that they could survive.

Then the picture started to bump and flicker, like an old black-and-white TV, and the signal was intermittent.

On that night of heavy rain, he heard someone behind him telling him to run quickly, so he kept running forward hard. His survival instinct made him dare not stop for a moment. But the bottom of my heart was filled with fear.

That's not the fear of the unknown, that's the future after fear escapes.

What is he... afraid of?

Ji Huai felt as if he had caught something, and it quickly disappeared.

He didn't like losing, so he ran hard and kept running.

The memory passed through the rain curtain and came to a sunny afternoon, where there was peace.

Just small sobs.

He saw little Shen Zhouran hiding in the garden crying, and also saw teenage Shen Luozhou running over and trying to pick him up, but Shen Zhouran repeatedly dodged him and curled up deeper.

Ji Huai remembered.

He occasionally went to play with Shen Zhouran, and overheard the conversation between Shen's father and Shen's mother, and learned that Shen Zhouran was not his biological child, but was adopted from the hospital.

Ji Huai still remembers his reaction at that time. Shock, stupor, disbelief...and a hint of secret and abnormal joy.

He was happy that it turned out that Shen Zhouran was not a well-loved child. He was not even as good as himself. He had been abandoned since birth.

Then he should be like himself, living a cautious and humble life, and also needing to rely on others.

——Instead of being the young master of the Shen family who is loved by thousands of people.

Ji Huai indirectly revealed this matter to a servant of the Shen family. He knew that the other party liked to gossip, and Shen Zhouran would definitely hear it.

He knew he was born bad.

It is rotten from the roots, and even the flowers it blooms look like hell mandalas.
