Rebirth of the entertainment industry and the return of the queen

Chapter 163 Past and Pain

Her breathing became more and more rapid, and she clasped his shoulders with both hands, which was very firm to the touch, like climbing a mountain in the wilderness.

Encouraged, he unbuttoned her pajamas with one hand.

Her brain was in a daze, catering to him, but some unbearable fragments flashed in her trance, overlapping with the scene in front of her.The huge villa in the memory, the hands handcuffed behind the back, the devilish man...

Heart trembling, Xia Ling regained a little clarity from the sinking, "Li Lei," her breathing was unsteady and intermittent, "Don't, don't be like this..."

At this time, Li Lei couldn't listen to anything, and his movements gradually became more serious.The feeling of panic and uneasiness grew infinitely in Xia Ling's heart, and the fragments in her memories became clearer and clearer. The same was true for that devilish person...

"No!" She turned pale, screamed suddenly, and pushed Li Lei desperately.

I don't know how much strength was used, but by the time she realized it, she had already broken away from him.Still in shock, she retreated on hands and feet, knowing that her thin back was against the cold wall.

"Xiao Ling..."

"Don't come here!" She looked at him fearfully, even her voice changed.

A trace of injury flashed across Li Lei's eyes, however, he stopped trying to approach her.His clothes were disheveled, and the confusion in his eyes hadn't faded away, but he restrained himself with strong self-control, and didn't do anything to hurt her. "Why?" he asked hoarsely.

Why did she push him away in such a panic when they were fine just now?

Xia Ling didn't know how to answer, she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him.She knew he didn't mean anything malicious, but just liked her too much, so she couldn't help it.They were already lovers, and it was only natural that something happened, but...something went wrong, and the one that went wrong was not him, but her.She couldn't control her body, and couldn't overcome the rejection and fear that came from her heart at that moment. That feeling was branded into the depths of her soul by that devilish man, indelible and unforgettable.

This made her deeply afraid.

"Xiaoling..." There was worry in his tone.

"I'm fine, let me be alone for a while." She said softly, hugging herself tightly.

"If you don't want to, I won't force you." His voice came, very low and slow, "We will live together for the rest of our lives, and I will wait until the day you are willing."

After speaking, he stood up and walked out of the bedroom.

The surroundings became quiet, a dark cloud covered the morning sun, and the light in the room became dark.Xia Ling remained motionless, her body's heat gradually cooled in the air, and she remembered what Pei Ziheng said at that time——

"Xiaoling, do you want to escape? Impossible, your body will always remember me and only recognize me forever."

Is this Stockholm Syndrome?After experiencing that kind of twisted whipping, confinement and love, is it true that she can only recognize Pei Ziheng alone, and she will reject any other man who touches her?

Even if the body has been changed in another life, the soul is still deeply imprinted?

She didn't dare to think about it anymore.

She huddled into a little ball in her bedroom, shivering, and sat quietly all day.When it got dark, she became so scared that she couldn't see her fingers. She dragged her numb legs and staggered to turn on the light, only then did she realize that Li Lei had already left.

In the living room, the windows were half open, letting in the fresh air.

But the residual smoke smell cannot be blown away.

She had never seen him smoke, but now, a crystal dish on the coffee table was full of cigarette butts.

There was a small note under the plate.

——I am gone, and I may not be able to return to the country during this period of time.Take care of yourself and call when you miss me.

On the note, there was a rich and slightly bitter smell of smoke that was stronger than in the air, as if it was stained with a touch of sadness.

This incident made Xia Ling very depressed, and she was listless in the next few rounds of auditions.Sister Mina couldn't stand it anymore, so she talked to her: "Xiao Ling, what's the matter with you recently? You're in such a bad state? It wasn't your turn to be on stage in the first few games, and it's your turn for the next one. If you are still like this In this state, how do you compare yourself with other singers?"

"I'll adjust it." Xia Ling said wearily.

Sister Mai Na frowned and asked: "What's the matter? Things have been going well at work recently, did you quarrel with the boss?"

There is no way to say that kind of private matter, Xia Ling shook her head: "He is very good." She avoided Sister Mai Na and forced herself to concentrate on her work.

Sister Mai Na had nothing to do, seeing her working so hard, it was hard to criticize her.

For several nights, Xia Ling had nightmares. When she closed her eyes, she remembered the fear and pain she had experienced in the dark confinement room. She often woke up in the middle of the night and kept her eyes open until dawn.

She withered away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Why is my skin so dry lately? It's not easy to put on makeup." The last round of the Xingyun song audition round finally arrived. In the dressing room, the makeup artist helped Xia Ling put on makeup while reprimanding, "I didn't do it a few times ago. I reminded you to pay attention to sleep and hydration, now it’s good, I can only wear a light and natural nude makeup, otherwise it will be too thick, and the powder will fall off when the camera is zoomed in. Think about how cheap it is.”

Xia Ling didn't have the strength to argue with him, besides what he said was reasonable, so she listened to his chatter silently.

Sister Mai Na and Bai Murong sighed as they watched, they had calculated everything and created the most perfect external conditions and opportunities for her. I don't know what's wrong, it's in a bad state.

"Physical period?" Bai Murong pulled Miss La Mina and muttered, "It's too long."

Sister Mina gave him a hard look: "Your family is on menstruation."

Bai Murong also felt unreliable, touched his nose and stopped talking.According to this situation, we can only resign ourselves to fate now, and hope that Xia Ling can perform better, and don't make too much trouble.

However, it's just the audition stage, and it's such a good arrangement, so it shouldn't be a problem...

Xia Ling didn't know their worries. After putting on her makeup, she got up and went to the bathroom.

The corridor was winding and long, intertwined like a maze. As she was walking, she suddenly heard a man talking at the corner in front of her: "Come on, little girl Lolo, don't be shy, touch it for me..."
