Listening to the dial tone on the other end, Lin Yi gripped her phone tightly, clenching her teeth and staring out the window.
"Damn Lu Xiuwen! I won't let you get away with this!"
...
Lin Yi spent the whole night tossing and turning, haunted by the images of her humiliation. Unable to sleep, she got up and took a shower, then called her mother and asked her to bring her clothes to wear.
She knew she had to leave quickly, otherwise, Lu Xiuwen would eventually catch on.
...
The next day, Lin Yi got up early. After breakfast, she was ready to leave.
But her mother stopped her.
"Yi, you can't leave!"
Her mother said solemnly, looking at her beloved daughter.
"Mom, I really have an emergency."
"You foolish girl, do you think Lu Xiuwen will forgive you? Will he let you stay by his side?"
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
