Chapter 57 Return to China
The so-called standing punishment is just another way to keep her from sleeping, and to witness everything inhumane.
The long period of not speaking made Ai Xi even more silent. She found that she seemed to have an extra skill: successfully turning off the switch of feelings, as if she had nothing to do with this world, which seemed to be done in the blink of an eye.When she looked at these realities that could drive her crazy, she didn't feel it, just like the show on TV, far away from herself, and had nothing to do with her.
No more grief, no more fear, no more waiting to be rescued.
Not hot, not cold, not hungry, not full.
Ai Xi thought, maybe she wants to cultivate immortality and ascend to heaven.
When she is not witnessing the horrific reality, Ai Xi just holds a large tray full of porcelain, and when her hands shake, the porcelain will fall and make a crisp sound. She doesn't know what the next punishment will be, because she It has been numb for a long time, so numb that the arm is holding the tray stiffly without shaking.Just when she felt that she was going to fall asleep standing up again, a hoarse and low voice came from her ear:
"Miss Ai, I can take you home, please leave Tong's house."
It's American English, the voice is very small, but Ai Xi caught it right away.She guessed that the person who spoke was the bodyguard who supported her around her waist yesterday, so that she would not hit the wall directly.But where is asking for opinions?It was clearly an order, probably from Tong Muqing?Even in her dreams, she wanted to leave this purgatory on earth. As for the future... I will talk about it later.
She has never been interested in the Tong family, whether it is black or white, whether it is money and power, what she wants is never these.
That voice disappeared, and Ai Xi didn't know that she had waited for several more days and nights. When she followed the base out of the base under the signal of the bodyguards, she was stuffed into the haystack of an old truck. It seemed to be a truck transporting feed, and the unpleasant smell made her want to sneeze.Covering her nose, Ai Xi held her breath, and after being dusted countless times, she finally heard the sound of the plane's engine.
She was dragged out of the car, her passport was patted in her hand, and her boarding pass was taken.The "XiAi" on it is clear and obvious, and it seems to have the smell of freshly printed ink. There are passengers coming and going, dragging boxes, or carrying hiking bags. The coconut trees around the airport are tall and vigorous, which belongs to The humidity unique to Los Angeles is oncoming.
The bodyguard left in the truck, and Ai Xi walked into the airport penniless after hesitating for a minute.
After going through the security check and the customs, Ai Xi looked around, and finally managed to borrow a mobile phone from a kind-hearted compatriot. She called Lan Xiaoshi and asked for the key of her friend's international network payment. She rushed into a sports brand store and bought a lot. Thick clothes, and I bought some red wine and cheese in the souvenir shop next door. Of course, I didn’t forget to tell my friends the pick-up time.
She should be thankful that besides Tong Ruiyuan, Lan Xiaoshi was always there.
When sitting in the economy class, Ai Xi ignored the children's noisy voices, and fell asleep with her head tilted.She's too sleepy, hasn't she slept for two weeks?The kind of endless see-saw torture is silent, and anyone with a weak psychological quality can go crazy in minutes, but she has long lived her life as a flattery, in Ran's family, and in the company, there is nothing that can't be endured In the past, as long as you were alive, you had a chance to make a comeback.
For example, to take revenge on Tong Muqing and let him experience what she has experienced, it is best to leave the Tong family and never go back; for example, to completely help the Lan family to eradicate the Ran family, so that the gang of Ran Nan and Ran Jingrong have no chance of turning over.
Therefore, she has to live a good life, even if there is no one around her... Rui Yuan... Such a lovely child is indeed a dream.
While waking up, Ai Xi asked the stewardess for some hot drinks and snacks. She didn't dare to eat a meal, and her stomach ached. It might have been caused by her irregular diet for a long time in that hellish place in Los Angeles.The last time I experienced this kind of situation... It was similar to working overtime and forgetting to eat. I was very hungry when I ate again. The consequence of wolfing down was stomachache and hospitalization.
The ten-hour flight made Ai Xi recover a lot. She saw herself listless in the bathroom. She lost weight three times, and her complexion and color were pale, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness.Ai Xi felt ten years older due to lack of skin care products.For this reason, after entering and exiting the airport, she wore sunglasses and got into Lan Xiaoshi's car. Of course, it was her friend's driver who drove.
The driver greeted her politely and respectfully, but Ai Xi was tired of coping.There is a hidden desire in her body to integrate into the life of human society, but she can't resist the disgust in her heart: when there are too many people, people's hearts will be chaotic, and there will be all kinds of tragic scenes she saw, and the people there may not be able to get out alive , eyes full of despair, especially the tortured woman, the words and eyes for help came like a tide, but she was powerless...
"Miss Ai, we're here." The driver interrupted her thoughts.
The familiar apartment fell asleep in the winter morning light, Ai Xi took a breath gently, it was very cool, not as fresh as the air in Los Angeles, but it was intimate enough.After thanking the driver, Ai Xi went upstairs. She didn't have a key, but she easily entered the house. This was her home, the only place in the world that belonged to her. Cursing and blaming, like the last protective barrier, kept her firmly in the center.
Great to be home.
The window that hadn't been ventilated for a long time was opened, and Ai Xi wanted to dissipate the remaining fragrance. As long as she took a breath, she could feel Tong Ruiyuan by her side. That feeling...is too bad.
