Chapter 13 — My Late Light

"Anyway, if it hadn't been for him saving me that year, I probably would have been beaten to death." "This is the debt I owe him, and also my plea to you." "Actually, Chu Chu's appearance today is all blamed on me. That year I was kidnapped by human traffickers, I led everyone to escape, but was unexpectedly caught again." "They pressed me to ask who was the leader, I was afraid to stand up, it was So Chu who stood up, and was locked up in the basement instead." The punishment pit." "When he was rescued, his whole body was covered in wounds, no part of him was healed." "Later, after curing the wounds on his body, it took many years to heal his mental damage." "Because he was so pitiful, I pampered him a little." "In the end, it was all my fault!" "Save me?" Hua Nam Am seemed to hear the biggest joke in the world, the corner of her mouth curled up in a sarcastic curve: "Chu Nghien Thu, "You're so stupid. Was it really her who saved you that year?" "You're really useless. I didn't care about the danger and came out to take the punishment for you, but you didn't even dare to look up to see what I looked like." "There's really no one in this world who's more stupid than you, more stupid than you." Chu Nghien Thu suddenly raised his head to look at Hua Nam Am, his voice became hoarse due to shock: "No way, what you said is all true." fake!” “You just didn't want to withdraw the lawsuit, so you intentionally made up this lie, right?” He didn't want to believe it. During these years, all his favoritism, all his tolerance were built on the perception that "Chu Chu Chu is a life-saving benefactor". Because of this "favor", he let the Chu family take in the helpless So So, let her live in the best room, wear the most expensive clothes, and let her become the true grand lady of the Chu family. He thought it was gratitude, returning the favor in that dark basement. If all of this is fake... Then what is the past years of him being cold, ignoring, and hurting Hua Nam Am? What does his pampering, protection, and favoritism for So So count? "That's not right!" Chu Nghien Thu mumbled like crazy: "So Chu has wounds all over his body to save you, these things cannot be faked." "Nam Am, can you stop lying to me?" Hua Nam Am looked at Chu Nghien Thu almost collapsed, saying something that had been buried deep in his heart for a long time: "At first, when I was punished, they had just caught a girl who had sneaked away. Go. She was also punished like me. Before, I didn't know who she was, now I know." "She was So So, the person you mistakenly recognized as a life-saver." Chu Nghien Thu shook her head: "That can't be like that, how could there be such a coincidence?" Hua Nam Am smiled contemptuously: "Does she know the details of how you led us to escape? go?” “Does she remember when you led us away, there were a few children pulling your back leg, you refused to leave anyone behind, everyone helped each other to leave?” “At that time we almost succeeded, unfortunately that mountain was too big, so big that no matter how much we ran, we couldn't escape!” That year, it was because Hua Nam Am saw Chu Nghien Thu's courage that she stood up to protect him. But when Hua Nam Am gradually talked about what happened that year, Chu Nghien Thu was completely shocked. Only people who have experienced those things themselves know. If Hua Nam Am hadn't experienced it herself, how could she know so many details... At this moment, Chu Nghien Thu remembered, every time he and Chu So Chu talked about that year. Chu Chu Chu kept his head in his hands, looking like he had a headache, saying he had forgotten many details. There was a time when he thought Chu So So forgot those things because of her

We suffer great psychological trauma, so we forget everything. But until today, Hua Nam Am told the truth and detailed that year. Chu Nghien Thu dared to confirm. Turns out, it was all fake. The "benefactor" that he had been treating so well all these years was a fake. His "girlfriend" was hurt by him himself, and his betrayal was his true salvation. "Why is it like this..." Chu Nghien Thu staggered back a step, bumping into the wall. He felt his world completely collapse at this moment. All his perceptions, all his judgments turned into a huge joke. He thought he was returning a favor, but didn't know he was repaying gratitude with resentment. Hua Nam Am knew Chu Nghien Thu would not believe what she said. But she said these words not to make Chu Nghien Thu believe or repay any gratitude. She just wanted to put an end to this story, then start again. Hua Nam Am leaned on the hospital bed, smiling calmly and said: "Anyway, up until now I have never cared about truth or falsehood, nor investigated, just trusting her." "Whatever you think is up to you, anyway, there is nothing more to say between us." Chu Nghien Thu staggered away. All the way back home I was confused. The first thing he did was investigate the truth that year.
