Chapter 204 - Mental Breakdown (1/2)
Ling Sheng reacted almost instinctively. Her body was one step ahead of her brain, and she instinctively tried to retaliate. However, her hand stopped in front of her, and she could not help but tremble. She retracted her hand and looked at the girl with teary eyes, feeling heartache. She was extremely anxious. “Tell me, what happened?”
“Get lost!” Xiaxia bellowed, her red eyes pushing her away suddenly. Hatred rolled within her as she asked loudly, “Why me? Tell me, Ling Sheng, why me?”
Ling Sheng did not know what had happened. When she was pushed away, she bumped into the corner of the table behind her. The pain made her cry. She did not know what she meant, but her intuition told her that this might have had something to do with her. She tried her best to calm down and asked, “What exactly happened?”
“I told them I was not Ling Sheng. Why didn’t they let me go? Why?” The moment Xiaxia saw her, she broke down instantly. She pointed at her and cried. “It’s all your fault, Ling Sheng! It’s all your fault. They were looking for you. Why me?”
Those people had kept saying that they wanted to find Ling Sheng—they had been looking for Ling Sheng, not her. She had shouted with all her might, telling them that she was not Ling Sheng.
However, no one had believed her. No one had helped her. She had felt despair. Bone-chilling despair. People who had not experienced that kind of despair would not understand what it meant to be disheartened.
She had really wanted someone to save her.
She had thought that those people would believe her.
Xiaxia was on the verge of breaking down. She kept shouting at her, asking her to get lost, throwing things at her, and crying her heart out.
When Lu Xianzhi entered, he saw Xiaxia shouting and scolding Ling Sheng like a lunatic.
Ling Sheng was covered in water, and there was a big red patch on her forehead. Her eyes were red and filled with pain and grief. She only looked at her quietly, allowing her to hit and scold her without moving.
“That’s enough.” Lu Xianzhi stepped forward, grabbed Xiaxia’s arm, and snatched the pillow from her hand. “Stop, this had nothing to do with her.”
