I met Chen Feng in college.
At that time, I was a freshman and he was a senior.
One day, when I went out, I was teased by a Little Rogue, and he stepped in to help me.
Before long, we fell in love.
Chen Feng was quite handsome, tall, with striking features and a free-spirited aura.
I was deeply attracted to him, even though I knew he was nearly ten years older than me.
As our relationship deepened, I became pregnant.
Since my parents always hoped I would finish my studies first, I was afraid to tell them about it.
Chen Feng and I discussed it and decided to have the baby first before talking about marriage.
So, I moved to Chen Feng's hometown to live with him.
His family lived in a traditional Siheyuan common in Northern Village.
It consisted of the East Room, West Room, South Room, and North Room.
My mother-in-law took care of all the meals and was very warm towards me, not letting me do anything but focus on my pregnancy.
She felt very much like my own mother, so I simply called her mother-in-law.
Chen Feng often goes out to take photos with his photography friends.
When I am home alone, I spend my time eating and sleeping, and life feels a bit dull.
That night, I woke up in the middle of the night feeling the urge to use the bathroom.
As I passed by my mother-in-law's room, I suddenly heard her talking on the phone.
"…Only the dead can keep secrets forever…"
I was startled, and all the hairs on my body stood on end.
Could it be that Chen Feng is with me to kill me and silence me?
But I have no interests tied to him; why would he want to kill me?
There was no time to think further, so I quickened my pace back to my room.
If my mother-in-law found out that I overheard her phone call, she might act against me right now.
I carefully returned to bed but accidentally tripped over a wooden stick at the door.
The sound of the stick hitting the ground was particularly jarring in the quiet room.
My heart instantly raced to my throat.
"Nana, are you awake?" Grandma asked.
I didn't dare to make a sound.
The door to the room was gently pushed open, and Grandma's footsteps grew closer.
My heart raced uncontrollably, and cold sweat formed on my forehead.
I tightly closed my eyes, fearing that Grandma would discover I was awake and then silence me.
Suddenly, something knocked over another stick.
Grandma's footsteps stopped.
"Meow—"
It was a stray cat.
Grandma let out a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
Only then did I realize that my back was already soaked.
Grandma left the house with a sharp knife.
I quickly opened my phone; the time displayed was 3:04 AM.
It turned out it was already so late.
I turned on the flashlight on my phone and shone it towards the door.
Next to the stick that I had just tripped over, there was another stick.
I instantly understood; after I tripped over the stick, my mother-in-law had placed another stick at the door.
She intended to test whether I was awake after I fell asleep.
If I didn't wake up, she could act without anyone knowing.
I broke out in a cold sweat.
That night, I couldn't sleep at all.
The next morning, my mother-in-law made me a bowl of Black-Boned Chicken Soup.
"Nana, this Black-Boned Chicken Soup is best for pregnant women. You should drink more," she said, her smile causing the wrinkles on her face to bunch up.
"Thank you, Mother-in-law," I said gratefully as I accepted the soup.
