Chapter 293 - You are so ugly. How can anyone like you?
Pei Ge rushed into the dark stairwell, her movement triggering the sensor lights into lighting up.
Pale yellow lights gently illuminated her and made her look warm.
However, the expression on her face was devoid of any warmth.
Her initially smiling face, which was full of energy, was now filled with sadness and hurt.
Tears like pearls rolled down her face and dropped continuously to the ground.
One drop, two drops…
Her tears were unabated. She tried to stop them from falling, but she failed.
However, once she switched off the light and darkness filled the room, her expression was no longer calm.
Darkness could hide anything but a broken heart could not be hidden from it.
Every time she closed her eyes, his mocking face would resurface in her mind, preventing her from entering dreamland.
She tossed and turned in bed. Eventually, she opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling.
“Pei Ge, you really have a glass heart. It’s just a casual comment by that annoying person. Why did you take it to heart?” she softly chided herself.
“Actually, that annoying person’s actions are misleading! It’s not my fault, so I shouldn’t think about it anymore! Besides, only that annoying person knows about this embarrassing incident. Don’t think too much…”
It was with these self-comforting words that Pei Ge finally closed her eyes and slowly drifted off to dreamland.
However, this night’s rest was meant to be bad as she had a nightmare about today’s incident in her sleep.
She dreamed of the day her father had passed away and of the debtors that had ransacked their family’s house for money.
She dreamed of being mocked for not having money to pay the school fees…
She dreamed of her cousin who had never loved and treated her as a sister.
Even her second uncle was unusually scary in her dreams.
She kept running to escape from the nightmare.
She ran and ran until she ran into a man’s embrace. That man gently comforted her.
She thought she was finally safe, but when she lifted her head, she was met with Ji Ziming’s mocking face, which said to her, “Which part of you do you think is worthy of my like?”
“Ahh!”
Her scream woke her up.
Seeing the familiar sunbathed room and hearing the occasional chirping of the birds from the outside, her mouth twitched.
“It’s just a dream…” she mumbled.
Good thing it’s just a dream. Pei Ge, press on. The past is the past. You must work hard for the money and for your mother!
