Ouch, the piercing pain at the back of my head woke me up. As the surroundings became clear, I realized that the white light had replaced the darkness, and the beach scene had transformed into a luxurious bedroom. What kind of European-style bedroom is this? Am I dreaming? But... the pain tells me it's not a dream.

"You're awake, Yu, how do you feel?" Sitting by the bed, she resembled a princess from some kingdom, truly ethereal and beautiful.

Confused, I asked, "Who are you?"

With a radiant smile, she replied, "Xi, it's Xi."

"Xi?" The girl in front of me looked like Xi, but the difference in their attire was like night and day. The former seemed like an ordinary girl from an average family, while the latter was clearly from a wealthy household.

In a reproachful tone, Xi said, "Are you all right, Yu? They were too rough with you."

Unable to remain calm, I said, "You've been deceiving me after all!"

"No, Xi didn't deceive Yu," Xi seemed innocent.

"And you claim you didn't deceive me. You are the daughter of a wealthy family," I said.

"I didn't completely hide that from you. As I said before, I can give you a luxury mansion," Xi explained desperately.

"No, no, you've confused me. What I want is money," I said.

"If Yu wants money, that's possible too," Xi said.

"No, no... I want a house and money," I said.

"Whatever you want, Xi can fulfill it for you," Xi said.

Oh no, my mind is broken. I showed a helpless expression.

Xi asked with concern, "Yu... are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm not feeling unwell, I just can't accept it all at once," I said.

Xi happily said, "It's okay, you'll accept it soon, and you can also enjoy the bliss of family life with Xi."

"Wait... family life? What do you mean?"

"Getting married and having children, living a happy and blissful life," Xi said.

"Who's getting married? Who's having children?"

"Xi... with Yu," Xi seemed a bit embarrassed, hesitating when answering.

"Wake up!" I shook Xi's shoulder.

"Xi is awake."

"That means I'm still dreaming," I got out of bed barefoot, walking around the bedroom as if I had lost my soul.

"Wake up, wake up," I tried to wake my dreaming self, but it was in vain.

"Yu... what's wrong?"

"I want to go home..."

Yes, this place feels strange. I want to go home.

"This... will be Yu's home from now on."

"This is not my home at all," I argued.

"In any case, you will have to get used to it. We're getting married in two days," Xi blushed.

"Married? That's impossible..." I unconsciously said coldly.

Xi's face darkened instantly.

"You don't want to marry Xi?"

"I need to go back quickly," I muttered and headed towards the door.

Just as I felt like I was about to walk through that door, suddenly, a kick sent me crashing to the ground. I sat there, looking anxious, as a blonde girl with an angry gaze stood in front of me. She held her skirt with one hand and lifted her foot, seemingly having kicked me.

"Bullying Xi again, you scum, trash,"

"Lily, why did you come?"

"Of course I had to come! What if Xi gets bullied?"

Xi hesitated to speak: "But Xi's dad..."

"It's okay... Your dad doesn't know me, and he's not even home..."

Xi nodded,

"So, during this time, let's teach this trash a good lesson,"

The blond girl snapped her fingers,

I stumbled to my feet, and she swung a punch at me. I quickly dodged,

"What do you mean?"

"Of course I mean beating you up!"

Her fists came at me like rain, and I could only keep backing away until I reached a corner with nowhere to go,

"Hehe, nowhere to hide now, huh?" The blond girl prepared to give me a heavy punch to the face,

Can't get hit in the face, even though I don't rely on my face to make a living, I don't want to have a pig face! I closed my eyes and instinctively reached out my hand,

"Ah..." I heard a delicate and embarrassing voice,

Opening my eyes, I saw an incredible scene,

"Sorry..."

"You pervert! Die!"

She gave me a hard punch to the face, and for a moment, stars danced before my eyes. Could she be Su Yuqian's twin sister? She hits hard.

Even though my face seemed swollen, I wouldn't fall. I looked at her, and she was almost in tears, crossing her arms protectively over her chest,

"I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional..."

Maybe it really did swell. I felt like I couldn't speak properly,

"Don't touch me... I'll make you look ugly when you die... sob..."

"It wasn't intentional..."

"Shut up, trash!"

"Okay...sorry,"

Who caused this situation? I was just defending myself,

After a while, with Xi's comforting, the blond girl's emotions gradually calmed down,

"Sorry Yu, it's all my fault for not stopping Lily's impulsive behavior,"

"It's...it's okay." I touched my swollen cheek and said,

"She is Xi's good friend, Lily Wu. Xi didn't introduce her right away, I'm really sorry,"

"Introducing now may not be too late,"

"Xi, don't tell this trash my name,"

Lily Wu still stared at me, eyes filled with tears. I could only feel helpless,

"It's nothing, I'll just go back first,"

Just as I was about to take a step, Lily Wu grabbed my collar,

"Who said you could leave?"

"Lily..." Xi tried to persuade Lily Wu not to resort to violence,

"...I think I should go back,"

"Go back? You can never go back." Lily Wu said arrogantly,

"Why?"

"You only have two choices in front of you. One is to marry Xi, and the other is to die,"

"Then I'd rather die,"

"..."

My sudden response left both Xi and Lily Wu speechless,

"In that case, you trash can go die, and your family will also die with you,"

Lily Wu spoke angrily,

"What?"

"Hehe, don't think that if you die, everything will be over. I will make your family die with you. I heard you have a cute younger sister. I especially enjoy torturing children like her, slowly killing her,"

"You... "

"You're a cute little girl," Lily Wu said, taking out a photo. It was indeed Feiya, wearing a swimsuit.

"This was taken in Hawaii, your family's every move is under my control."

"You… how despicable."

"Say what you want. If you don't agree, don't blame me for using any means necessary. Making a few people disappear from this world isn't a problem."

"I'm calling the police!"

"Calling the police? Do you know the consequences?"

Lily Wu's expression was clearly serious.

"Lily, don't do this..."

"Xi, don't be so soft-hearted. Do you really want..."

"Xi... I understand now."

"Well, that's easy then," Lily Wu laughed.

"From now on, you will have to follow my orders. Otherwise... I will go after your sister first. I can either cut her slowly and watch her die, or... I can take out her eyeballs and feed them to dogs..."

Lily Wu had an eerie smile on her face, and Xi remained silent as if she had also made a decision.

But I would not let myself be manipulated like this.
