The next morning, I got up early and went to work.
However, as soon as I stepped outside, I noticed footprints next to the window.
The grass there was deeply stomped with two footprints, indicating that someone had been standing there for a long time; they were clearly a man's footprints.
A sudden wave of surprise washed over me. In this village, besides me, the only other man was my grandfather. Could it be that the person standing here last night was my grandfather?
But it was so late, Grandpa must have been asleep long ago. Who else could it be but Grandpa?
In short, the secret between me and Sister Xue has been exposed.
Thinking of this, my heart skipped a beat. Then, I noticed something else: a cigarette that was still burning. I recognized it; it was thick and belonged to a cigar.
Cigars are very expensive, and most people simply cannot afford to smoke them.
The only clues left by the man who stood outside my and Sister Xue's door last night were a man's footprints and a half-smoked cigar.
"Why aren't you going yet? What are you doing standing there?" Sister Xue said to me when she saw me standing outside the window.
"Oh, it's nothing, I was just checking if there was any damage to the house, but I didn't find anything..." At the time, I was just thinking that I didn't want Sister Xue to know about this, so as not to worry her.
Cleaning the stables is a task I have to do every day. I originally thought that Wu Xin would bully me again, but to my surprise, she didn't show up.
I thought to myself that maybe Wu Xin, that slut, was just looking for some excitement, and once she'd had her fun, she'd forget about it.
Grandpa didn't seem to dislike me at all. After cleaning the stables, I went to the study to read, but my mind was still on what had happened that morning.
A cigar, a pair of men's footprints—who was the man who stood outside my and Sister Xue's window last night?
After my father died, Xuejie and I were left to depend on each other, living under someone else's roof. In this torment and oppression, we learned to comfort each other with our bodies, and that forbidden door was opened.
At that time, I thought that for Sister Xue, I could disregard everything and not care about the opinions of the world, because I love her and therefore I want to protect her.
However, thinking about what happened this morning, I still feel like I have a thorn stuck in my heart that I can't pull out. I'm afraid that this matter will hurt Sister Xue.
This is the first time in my life that I've looked at a room full of books but couldn't concentrate on reading them.
My heart was filled with anxiety. I left the study and the village. I wanted to go outside and breathe some fresh air.
But I feel like everything is deliberately working against me. The sky is gloomy, as if it's about to collapse at any moment, pressing down on my heart and making it hard to breathe.
As it turns out, if a person is truly depressed, even the most beautiful scenery in the world will only seem like a pile of withered grass and rotten wood.
It was the season when the grass grew tall and the birds sang in the Jiangnan region, and the fish swam happily in the lotus pond, but I really had no heart to appreciate it.
I wandered aimlessly along the country lanes, perhaps only the wind blowing through the fields could make me feel a little relaxed.
However, I've never been very lucky.
Not far from the path was a grove of trees. On the path stood a figure, wearing a long black dress and holding a whip. Who else could it be but Wu Xin?
I knew I couldn't avoid it, because he came here specifically to find me, so I gritted my teeth and went over to see what tricks he was up to today.
