Actually, since the night of New Year’s Day, after the classmates’ reunion, when Yin Shixiu appeared at the hotel entrance, she felt...
Everything that happened with him was like a fairy tale.
So beautiful that it made her dazed, so beautiful that she often forgot that although he was a true prince, she was not a princess.
Because she wasn’t a fairytale princess, when she fell into trouble, the prince wouldn’t come.
In the damp warehouse, Su Xiaomeng leaned against the wall, staring blankly around, her ears wishing they were as sharp as a rabbit’s, yet she still couldn’t hear anything happening outside.
Jiuling Mountain is a private development area, so even with such good weather, no outsiders came up the mountain to play.
The Yin Family resort villa only occasionally had servants come to clean.
Su Xiaomeng had been locked up for an entire night plus a morning, trembling with hunger and cold, especially her stomach, which ached from hunger.
Since childhood...
Had she ever suffered such torment?
Dizzy...
She didn’t expect those two young boys genuinely intended to starve and freeze her to death here...
Not just to scare her, they truly wanted her dead.
But... she wouldn’t just die here!
Su Xiaomeng wiped her tears away, sniffed her red nose, and with her eyes blurred from the ache, managed to finish inspecting the whole warehouse.
In the corner was a big sledgehammer and some farming tools.
She walked over, lifted the sledgehammer, and dragged it to the door; just that action made her already pale face even paler.
Very helpless...
But even more unwilling.
Why should she quietly wait to die just because they wanted her dead?
What had she done to deserve such punishment?
So...
Not only wouldn’t she just wait to die, but she would also definitely escape! And after escaping, she’d make those two brats pay the price!
And then stay far away from Yin Shixiu!
What marriage, what dating...
She hadn’t heard of anyone getting married or dating having to risk their life.
The sledgehammer was really heavy, and after slamming it against the door twice, Su Xiaomeng was out of strength.
Leaning to the side, gasping for air, when suddenly... her belly moved!
Su Xiaomeng’s nerves tightened, so scared she didn’t dare move...
Her entire underwear was already soaked with sweat, her back icy cold.
Her belly uneasily moved twice more, somewhat... painful.
Su Xiaomeng looked at her protruding belly, the grievances she managed to ignore surged uncontrollably to her heart.
Her nose twitched, and tears rolled down...
She touched her belly, sobbing and muttering, "Baby, don’t be afraid... we’ll get out... sob... once we’re out, mommy will take you... take you to eat meat... sob..."
No idea if the babies inside understood Xiaomeng’s words, or if they were too tired from hunger to move, they stopped kicking.
Su Xiaomeng had been scared the whole night, scared that something might happen to the babies inside.
She’d been so hungry that her hands and feet were trembling, truly afraid of harming the babies.
Taking a deep breath, she wiped away her tears and picked up the sledgehammer again, smashing it fiercely against the lock!
"Bang!" "Bang!"
Su Xiaomeng didn’t stop, dared not stop, afraid that if she stopped, she’d have no strength left.
Finally, with a "crack"...
The lock broke, and the door opened.
Su Xiaomeng dropped the hammer, leaned against the wall, and walked out of the warehouse.
Following the stairs to the ground, however, this was the backyard of the Yin Family Manor, and after circling around, every door leading into the house and the main gate out of the manor was locked.
She couldn’t get into the house, nor out...
Su Xiaomeng wore an expression of a 八 with her eyebrows, her face filled with grievances.
When would this end...
Just as she was about to fall into despair again, a small dog hole in the corner of the yard caught her eye...
Her eyes brightened, and sniffing, she walked over, squatted down to compare with her large belly...
Looked about the same.
Su Xiaomeng lay on the ground, belly up, and squeezed bit by bit out through the dog hole.
Her back neck was grazed by a stone, causing her to gasp, endure, and carefully let her stomach squeeze out as well.
Getting up from the ground, she was covered in mud.
After crawling out, she stared at the hole for a long while before once again tears rolled down...
She had actually crawled through a dog hole.
Really aggrieved...
She decided no longer to mess with Yin Shixiu, whatever it may be with him!
If she had known she’d suffer like this, she might as well have quit school and gone home...
Luckily, with the belief that no matter what, she couldn’t starve to death, she managed to escape!
But... she looked blankly at the distant, overlapping mountains and the unknown path ahead.
