He began to tear at my clothes.
I was terrified.
I cried out and struggled, but I was no match for him.
Before long, I was left in nothing but my underwear.
At the moment my clothes were stripped away, despair filled my heart.
But just then, the door was suddenly burst open!
Xu Qian rushed in!
Wearing sunglasses and holding a cane, his face was filled with urgency.
"What’s going on?" he asked.
"Is anyone there?"
"Why is it so quiet?"
It turned out he had heard my cries while passing by, but since he couldn't see me, he thought the door was locked!
At that moment, the guest also reacted.
Seeing Xu Qian enter, he quickly cursed, "Damn! Why didn’t you knock?"
Xu Qian was taken aback.
He took off his sunglasses and glanced at the guest.
"Oh, it's you, Boss Xiao Qu!"
"What service do you need?"
Boss Xiao Qu angrily put on his clothes. "I don't need anything!"
With that, he left.
Xu Qian watched his retreating figure, deep in thought.
Then he walked over and helped me up.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
I burst into tears, still shaken.
Xu Qian sighed. "Stop crying. Let me take you home."
Xu Qian accompanied me home.
We didn't speak a word during the journey.
The bus swayed as it stopped at one station after another.
After getting off, I invited Xu Qian inside for some water.
Xu Qian hesitated for a moment but eventually followed me in.
We sat on the edge of the bed, sipping some water.
"You should consider moving to a different place," Xu Qian said. "It's not very safe here."
"Why is that?"
"Because this area is a makeshift urban village, with self-built houses. There are too many outsiders, and with them come troublemakers. It's too dangerous for a girl like you to live here."
"What should I do then?"
"You could move over to Dongshui Street. The rent is a bit higher, but it's much safer."
"I can't afford that…"
"Li Li, why are you pushing yourself so hard?"
I was taken aback.
I had asked myself that question many times.
Why was I pushing myself so hard?
Maybe it was because I had no other choice.
"Then why are you being so blind?" I asked.
Xu Qian paused for a moment.
“Were you born blind?”
“No, I had an eye disease when I was young, and I lost my sight because the treatment was delayed.”
“At what age did it start?”
“Six.”
“Are you used to it now?”
“I got used to it a long time ago.”
Xu Qian smiled, “I’m used to it; instead, it’s you normal people who aren’t used to it.”
“Really?”
I looked at him and asked, “Xu Qian, are you pretending to be blind?”
Xu Qian was taken aback.
His expression turned awkward, and he froze.
“How did you know?”
“Because that bus just now didn’t announce the stops at all!” I said loudly. “But you knew it wasn’t safe for me to live here and even knew how to go back the same way!”
“You said you were blind, so how do you find your way?”
Xu Qian fell silent.
He did not answer my question, merely standing quietly in place.
After a moment, he suddenly burst into laughter.
He slowly stopped in his tracks, turned around, and removed his sunglasses, revealing his normal eyes.
It turned out he really wasn't blind!
"Why pretend to be blind?" I asked him.
Xu Qian sighed. "Li Li, did Boss Xiao Qu bully you today? Are you particularly afraid of him?"
I didn't respond.
But the fear I felt when Boss Xiao Qu forcefully tore my clothes that day still lingered in my heart.
Xu Qian continued, "Actually, my girlfriend was also forced by Boss Xiao Qu."
"She later died on his bed."
"So I came to work at this shop to seek revenge on Boss Xiao Qu."
"But I didn't expect that after you came to the shop, I wouldn't want anything else."
