On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Chapter 80 Childhood Pain!
The thunder outside the window gradually weakened and turned into a dull hum, like a whimpering sound covered by clouds.

Su Yuqing rested her forehead on his collarbone, her breath carrying the sweetness of honey lemonade.

"Can you tell me why you are so afraid of thunder?" Chen Mo gently hugged Su Yuqing and comforted her, and asked curiously.

"When I was a child..." she suddenly spoke, her voice muffled by the fabric of his clothes, "After Mom and Dad had a fight, she suddenly took a rope and strangled me on that rainy day. She said Dad didn't want us anymore and she wanted us to go with him so that he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

I was awakened by thunder and a suffocating feeling..."

Hearing this, Chen Mo couldn't help but hold his breath.

I didn’t expect that such a thing happened when Su Yuqing was a child.

"My father was awakened by thunder and found that my mother was not around. He then discovered that my mother was strangling me. However, she was not fully determined at the time, so the force of her strangulation was sometimes strong and sometimes weak. That's why she didn't strangle me to death and didn't leave any scars on my neck."

Su Yuqing recalled her childhood experiences and spoke calmly.

Although Su Yuqing was treated so madly by her mother and even when she was about to lose her life, she never hated her mother.

Because she understands and sympathizes with her mother.

Mother is just sick.

She just got sick because of her father's matter. She didn't really want to hurt herself, but she couldn't control herself.

Her situation is actually very pitiful.

If Dad hadn't done anything wrong, Mom wouldn't have fallen into this hopeless situation.

So, since childhood, Su Yuqing knew very clearly that she should not blame her mother.

Saving his own father was the culprit that caused all the tragedies in the family.

And the mother who wanted to strangle himself was just a walking corpse whose spirit was half killed.

She often saw her mother crying bitterly.

She takes this love very seriously and she simply cannot accept her husband's betrayal and abandonment.

She wanted to just leave several times.

But when he thought of his daughter, he stopped again.

As for why she didn't harm Su Yuqing again after the divorce, it was purely because she had never intended to take Su Yuqing away from the beginning.

Her behavior that night was more of an irrational venting of anger.

But even so, the strength she used to strangle Su Yuqing was sometimes tighter and sometimes looser, and every time she loosened, it was when she heard her daughter's painful gasps.

She simply couldn't bring herself to do it. Rather than saying that she really wanted to die with Su Yuqing, it would be more accurate to say that she wanted to test through this action whether her husband still had any attachment to and attention to this family.

Even if he doesn't want his wife anymore, what about his daughter?
Doesn't he want his own daughter anymore?

After this night's test, she realized that Su Chengfeng still cared about his daughter to some extent.

So she decided to fight for the custody rights at all costs, forcing Su Chengfeng to come to see her to see their daughter and create a chance for her to get back together. But she was wrong.

Big mistakes.

The reason why Su Chengfeng stepped forward to stop it was that he didn't want his family affairs to ruin his reputation and make him a laughing stock in the company.

He had no love for them, mother and daughter.

He even had to thank Li Fengzhi for taking Su Yuqing away.

This way, he can feel more relaxed with his new lover, without any burdens dragging him down, and it will be easier to explain to them.

He doesn't care about his daughter and wife at all.

Every time Su Yuqing came to see him, he would greet her with a smile. It wasn't because he loved his daughter so much, but it was purely out of habit to maintain his superficial persona.

I just don't want my image of being heartless and ungrateful to spread and affect my image in the company.

In the end, everything he did was just for himself.

Abandoning one's wife and children is already a good excuse for criticism, and being criticized for some baseless reasons would be even more embarrassing.

Li Fengzhi's act of forcing Su Chengfeng to express his position that night was just a test.

But for the young Su Yuqing, it became a lifelong nightmare.

Every time there was a thunderstorm, she would feel a suffocating feeling that made it hard to breathe.

This feeling of suffocation turned into fear, fear of the sound of thunder and rain.

Because the moment the thunder woke her up, it was followed by the extreme pain of suffocation.

This painful memory has overlapped with the thunder.

So every time there was thunder, she was repeating the pain of that night.

Listening to Su Yuqing saying these calmly in his arms, Chen Mo felt a pain in his heart and paused his fingers, no longer caring about the sense of propriety.

He reached out and hugged Su Yuqing tighter.

The girl in his arms also seemed to curl herself up tighter, as if she wanted to shrink herself into a non-existent shell.

Her arms unconsciously wrapped around his muscular body.

He was still mumbling about some things from his childhood.

Since Chen Mo was interested in knowing more about herself, Su Yuqing didn't mind sharing more with him.

Su Yuqing even felt that sharing any painful thing with Chen Mo was like unlocking a layer of shackles.

I don't know why, but in this boy's arms, all the pain I once felt seemed to be insignificant.

Every painful experience and encounter becomes light the moment it is spoken out.

It feels like all the bad things that happened in the past are no longer that important.

This feeling of extreme relaxation made Su Yuqing's desire to talk reach its peak.

The most beautiful encounter is when one person is willing to speak and the other is willing to listen.

The tail end of Su Yuqing's voice was swallowed up by the vibration of Chen Mo's chest.

The young man placed his palm on the back of her neck, and the force of his knuckles running through her wet hair was like combing fragile glass. The rain curtain outside the window suddenly poured down like a waterfall, cutting the entangled breaths of the two into fine silk threads.

After Su Yuqing had been talking for a while, the thunder outside the window gradually subsided, and Su Yuqing came back to her senses from her previous state of narration.

She didn't know whether Chen Mo liked listening to her long-winded talk or not. Seeing that Chen Mo didn't say anything, she immediately looked up at him.

What I encountered was the dark tide surging in his eyes - there was no pity, only a regret as hot as lava boiling.

Seeing Chen Mo giving her a gentle smile, Su Yuqing's depression immediately melted away.

However, her sudden change from tense to relaxed made her rub her temples and look a little tired.

Seeing her state, Chen Mo smiled and said, "Your hair got wet in the rain tonight, so you need to wash it. There's too much dust in the rain. Let me help you wash it. I have a set of head massage techniques that can help you sleep more peacefully at night."

After Chen Mo finished speaking, he started to prepare for Su Yuqing without waiting for her consent.
