Chapter 54: Chapter 53 The Secrets of the Small Room~_2
Shi Shi: (๑•́₃•̀๑)
"It’s bitterly cold, snowing, and getting dark. This is the last day of the year—Christmas Eve."
....
"She didn’t dare to go home because she hadn’t sold a single matchstick, had not made a single penny, and her father would definitely beat her."
....
"Finally, she struck one, and hiss! The match lit up..."
Just as little Shi Shi was absorbed in reading the story with her phonics.
A harsh voice interrupted her.
"Little beast! What is the meaning of the story you’re reading! Are you saying I abuse you?!"
Unbeknownst to her when, the middle-aged man on the sofa had risen.
He grabbed an ashtray from the coffee table and hurled it at Shi Shi.
"Ah! I...I didn’t..."
Shi Shi, in pain, clutched her arm that got hit and spoke weakly.
"Shi Shi knows, Daddy is the best father in the world."
The man, unmoved, picked up something from the table and furiously threw it at Shi Shi.
"Slut! Your mother is a slut! You’re a born cheap bone too!"
"Eating and drinking at my expense, you are just a loss!"
The insulted Shi Shi could only curl up in the corner of the room, weakly holding her head...
She knew she couldn’t get hit in the face; the last time it happened, someone from the community came to talk to her father.
It was her fault; she shouldn’t have read this story that upset Dad; it was right for Dad to hit her.
"Like reading, huh? Then go read outside!"
The burly man about six feet tall, locked little Shi Shi out on the balcony.
"Just read here! Come in when you finish a whole book!"
After that, the man downed a bottle of beer and lay back down on the sofa
Shi Shi tightened her hold on the storybook, the only gift her father had ever given her.
"Daddy, I’m sorry, it’s my fault, I won’t read this story again..."
The man on the sofa had long fallen into a deep sleep, and with the soundproofing of the balcony, how could he hear Shi Shi’s words?
Even... he didn’t hear the sound of the rain outside...
It started to rain~
Shi Shi liked the rain; she spread her little hands to catch the raindrops falling from the sky.
But soon the rain grew heavier.
Little Shi Shi instinctively held the storybook over her head to block the rain.
But the next moment, she took it down, wiping the rain off it with a pained expression, and finally hugged it to her chest.
This was proof her father loved her, the only proof.
The rain grew heavier, and the malnourished little Shi Shi, under the assault of the heavy rain and strong wind, began to shiver.
"Daddy... Daddy... The rain is too heavy."
Shi Shi, pale, with trembling little hands, knocked on the balcony door.
"Daddy... Shi Shi knows she was wrong..."
"Daddy, Shi Shi is so cold, can... can I come in..."
"Wait...wait for the rain to lighten then you can kick me out again please..."
There was no response from inside.
Shi Shi thought her dad was still mad at her.
So, she curled up further in a corner of the balcony, stuffing the storybook inside her clothes.
It might block some rain...
By this time, her face was an unhealthy white, completely drained of color.
And Shi Shi couldn’t feel the cold anymore.
She just felt light, her head heavy, so sleepy...
"Daddy... Shi Shi is very sleepy, sorry... wait...wait until Daddy is no longer mad at Shi Shi... and then, can you carry Shi Shi inside, please..."
That was it...
The scene stopped.
Shi Shi thought it was her fault until the end...
Oh God, why don’t you open your eyes and see what you are doing?
Her consciousness returned to the little room.
Jiang Xiao’s eyes were red, and his body began to shake uncontrollably...
He was both heartbroken and distraught.
At the same time, he felt an immense urge to kill for the first time towards a man.
If he ever met Shi Shi’s biological father, he wouldn’t mind dismembering him and scattering his ashes!
"Xiao Xin, I’m begging you, please don’t let your consciousness come out, I want to be a father and spend good time with them."
"Daddy?"
A figure appeared behind Jiang Xiao.
It was Shi Shi.
She looked at Jiang Xiao in the room with surprise and then shyly lowered her head.
"Daddy, are...are you alright?"
Shi Shi knew that this bad memory could permanently trap a person’s soul in that dreadful past.
But, doesn’t Dad seem unaffected?
Well, that makes sense since he is after all ’Donggan Superman’ in human form!
Jiang Xiao sat beside Shi Shi and stroked her hair.
"After dinner, how about Daddy takes you girls shopping?"
"Wow! Really, totally!"
Shi Shi excitedly kissed Jiang Xiao on the face!
"Shi Shi loves Daddy the most!"
Jiang Xiao could not yet step into the other two rooms.
If each of the three little girls took turns...
What about Sun Wei?
What was Sun Wei’s past?
...
Knowing they were going out,
the three little girls started cheering from dinner time.
Even finishing their meals early and waiting here.
Bai Yi and Mu Xitang each held onto one of Jiang Xiao’s legs, afraid Daddy would leave without them.
With people around, Shi Shi returned to her cool demeanor.
She looked up, teasing that Bai Yi and Xi Tang were just too childish.
"Alright, alright, let’s set off now!"
Their vehicle was the old gossip’s, ah no, it was the wooden cart used by Grandma Li to sell snacks.
Bai Yi and Mu Xitang sat on it.
With no space left, Shi Shi rode on Jiang Xiao’s shoulders.
"Hey! Don’t lose track of time you four, you must come back before dinner!"
