Chapter 225 -225: The Past of Song Xiner

The next morning, Fang Lanlan followed Feng Zhekai to the hospital, while Cheng Yang went off to work.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng headed to the commercial district to check out the sales of blackout curtains.

Gu Pan brought her camera; she still had the habit of documenting these things. She believed that the photos she took and these records might become precious historical images in the years to come.

Lu Ruisheng felt the same; he had also grown fond of recording everything about the apocalypse. Perhaps years later, when everything returned to normal, these experiences would remain indelible.

By the time they arrived at the mall, a long line had already formed, stretching far from the entrance.

Many people, after arriving at the base, had let their guard down and preferred to follow the directions from the base authorities.

Of course, that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing; after all, following the commands of higher-ups hardly ever led to serious mistakes.

Some people, with foresight, had already bought these items.

At the entrance, they ran into Yang Jia and Chen Fengzhou who were there to buy candles. They believed what Gu Pan had said; thus, they prepared in advance, taking advantage of the continuous daylight to buy candles at a cheaper price and without any purchase limits.

After exchanging greetings with Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng, the two quickly entered the mall.

Gu Pan looked at Lu Ruisheng with a smile, “They really trust us a lot.”

Lu Ruisheng smiled as well, “Indeed.”

They didn’t push their way into the crowded mall since they didn’t need to buy anything. They had simply come to look around and take some photos.

Gu Pan’s photography skills had improved markedly, or in her words, the angles were more like those of a photojournalist capturing the essence of the era.

Looking at the people before them, perhaps history wouldn’t record their names, but they each left a mark in the stream of history.

After taking some photographs, they left the mall and headed back.

Crossing the road to the residential area, there were far fewer people around because of the perpetual daylight. Apart from those going to work or out to buy blackout fabric, most people spent these days at home figuring out how to make their nights darker and their bodies feel better.

Approaching a bulletin board, a voice from behind caught their attention. Song Xiner’s overbearing tone was easily recognizable. If not for her distinctive voice, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng wouldn’t have felt so compelled to listen in on someone else’s argument. However, since it was Song Xiner, they were curious to hear what was happening—it wasn’t eavesdropping if it was in public.

Song Xiner’s voice was incredibly shrill, “Song Maner, why? Why do I have to live in misery because of you while you act so innocent and sensible? Do you even know how sick that makes me feel?” Her voice was laced with screaming, occasionally breaking.

The girl called Song Maner replied with a tone full of helplessness, “Why do you insist it was my fault? We were being robbed; mom and dad went to draw those people away and told us to meet at the school entrance, but you wanted to go to the mall to look for supplies halfway there. I warned you it was dangerous, but you didn’t listen. I didn’t follow you but went to wait for mom and dad at the school entrance instead. Is that really betraying you? Later, we also went to the mall to look for you but couldn’t find you. What else could we do?”

“If at that time you had dragged me away and didn’t let me go, would I have been violated by those people, sold off, and suffered through all that filth?”

“How could I have dragged you away when you were running so fast? By the time I reacted, you had already gone into the mall.”

“Then after I entered the mall, why didn’t you come after me? Didn’t I go there to find supplies for all of us to use?”

“I’m not a deity; I get scared too. I just wanted to quickly find mom and dad. Is that wrong? They told us to wait at the school, and I just wanted to obey them so they wouldn’t arrive and not find us there.”

“Look at you, playing the victim again. You always act obedient to win our parents’ affection, but can any of you understand me? Seeing you just reminds me of all that’s happened. You can’t understand my pain at all. Back then, I felt worse than dead. Every day different men would… I’ve lost my honor, my purity, my dignity. Do you understand?” Inside, Song Xiner felt as if she was cut by a knife every day. Initially, she kept silent, but eventually, she wanted to inflict her pain on her family to make them suffer as she did.

Taking a deep breath, Song Maner responded, “So we brought you back and we’ve been compensating you ever since. A lifetime of integrity and now dad has been demoted because of you. You said you didn’t like my long hair, so I cut it. You said you didn’t appreciate mom and dad’s concern for me, so now we three are like strangers at home. All the money goes to you, anything you want, as long as we can provide it, we do our best to satisfy you. What more do you want? Do you want us all dead?” She understood her sister’s pain, so they were all trying to make amends.

“Haha, you three, in your hearts, the three of you are a family, right? Tiring yourselves out with this act in front of me, it must be exhausting. You must all feel so sorry for each other, don’t you? You must wish I, Song Xiner, had died at the hands of those men. You really hoped I was already dead, didn’t you?”

“I didn’t wish that. I truly want you to get better, to forget those unpleasant memories and start a new life.”

“Unpleasant? Is that what you call it? Why don’t you experience that ‘unpleasantness’ yourself? Being dirtied by all those disgusting, filthy men, you call that a bit of discomfort? To you, it’s as trivial as skipping a meal, isn’t it? Do you have any idea what that means to me? Do you know how many times I wanted to die?”

“Xinxin, I know, I understand that those experiences hurt you deeply, but we must always look ahead…”

“Shut up! I hate it when you talk about looking ahead. You have no idea how much those events hurt me. Every time I close my eyes, I see those men… I spend sleepless nights, while you? You casually suggest looking ahead, forgetting the past. I detest those words. If I could forget, do you think I would choose to remember? Ah, I really want to kill you all. If anyone tells me to look ahead again, I will kill them.” Song Xiner was growing more and more deranged, her eyes reddening, fists clenched as she stared at Song Maner.

Song Maner stepped forward to calm her down, “I won’t say it anymore, none of us will. Just calm down, we will change. Whatever you don’t want to hear, we won’t say.”

Song Xiner grabbed Song Maner’s arm, “I don’t want to hear it,” she said before biting down hard.

Song Maner shrieked in pain, “It hurts!”

Song Xiner burst into laughter, “That hurts? Do you know what pain is, the pain of being torn apart? They were all perverts. If this little bite is what you call pain, then what should we call my pain?”
