I secretly glanced at Liu Fang beside me. Her gaze was sharp as she seemed to be contemplating something about me. My heart raced, and I almost dropped my phone on the floor.
At that moment, Li Qian's gentle voice rang in my ear, " brother Wei, why don't I accompany you downstairs to buy something? I saw a small supermarket downstairs; they should have what you need."
I instinctively nodded, "Okay..."
I looked at Li Qian with gratitude, and she smiled back at me.
Li Qian put on her shoes and said, "Let's go."
I nodded and followed her out of the house.
At the elevator door, I absentmindedly pressed the call button.
Li Qian looked at me with concern, " brother Wei, are you... are you okay lately?"
I was taken aback, "What's wrong?"
Li Qian sighed, "Has Zhou Li hit you again recently? Look at your hand and your head."
I lowered my gaze to my hands; they were bruised and had several scratch marks.
That's right; they were from last night.
Li Qian took out her phone, opened a screenshot of my social media post, and asked, "Are you still trying to hide this from me? Look, you posted it and then deleted it. It was her doing, right?"
I nodded slightly.
Li Qian said, "I knew it was you. Look at your hand; it's in such bad shape."
I silently stared at the screenshot of the post; it showed my right hand covered in bloodstains with several bite marks. The caption read: "Enough is enough; just let me die."
Li Qian said, " brother Wei, tell me the truth. What happened? If it’s too much, just break up with her."
I bit my lip and remained silent.
Li Qian sighed helplessly, " brother Wei, don’t be afraid. Just tell me; I will help you."
I kept my head down, unsure of what to say. Four months ago, I had a huge argument with Zhou Li at a restaurant.
The reason is because of the chili peppers in the boiled fish. I wanted to take those chili peppers home, but Zhou Li disagreed. She said, "Liu Wei, don't go too far. You know I don't eat chili peppers, yet you still want to take them." No one at the table could calm her angry gaze. I looked at her coldly and said, "Why can't I take them? I think they taste good." Zhou Li glared at me angrily and said, "Liu Wei, how can you be like this?" I shrugged and replied, "I've always been like this." Zhou Li stared at me and exclaimed, "You jerk!" I sneered, "How am I a jerk? It's just a bunch of chili peppers. What's wrong with taking them?" Zhou Li was so furious that she slammed the door and left.
That night, I got drunk. I did complain about this to Li Qian. However, now I feel a bit regretful. Li Qian continued to talk, "Look at this picture; you must have been in so much pain back then. I remember you hate pain the most."
"And this one, look how hard she bit you! Such deep teeth marks; you know that I..."
"Have you forgotten? That day you said you couldn't stand Zhou Li anymore; you said you really wanted to leave her. What are you waiting for?"
I froze all over. Trembling, I asked, "I... I forgot what I said..."
Li Qian replied, "It's the WeChat message you sent me that night. You told me Zhou Li was getting more unreasonable and that you wanted to leave her. Have you forgotten?"
My breath caught in my throat. With a ding, the elevator arrived, and I felt like I couldn't breathe anymore. Rushing into the elevator, I said, "You... you saw it wrong!"
Li Qian looked at me seriously and asked, "Liu Wei, what are you really afraid of?"
