Sitting there in the studio, Su Xiaomo smiled happily as her blood gushed out .

She was finally free .
Collapsing to the ground from the blood loss, she had never felt that peaceful .
However, she didn’t succeed .
Her parents discovered her in time and sent her to a hospital .
She was brought back after hours of resuscitation measures .
According to the medical staff back then, when Su Xiaomo regained consciousness, she had a nervous breakdown immediately .
She had a breakdown because she was still alive .

The head nurse shed tears for her after learning what was going on at home . “Your parents only did it for your own good . Kid, don’t go to extremes . All parents love their kids . They just have such high hopes for you . ”
Su Xiaomo’s smile was full of despair . “Do they? Why didn’t anyone ask me if I wanted to be their child when I was born?”
Back then, that was still such a defiant claim . Her father overheard it and slapped her without asking questions . “How dare you! I told you to draw, but what did you do? You don’t want to be my kid? Do you think I want to be your father?”
Su Xiaomo stubbornly held her ground . “I don’t want to draw anymore . What’s wrong with wanting to do the things I like and living for myself?”
Fuming, her father wanted to hit her again, but her mother stopped him with all her strength . She then cried and said, “No one lives just for themselves . Xiao Mo, don’t be so selfish . ”
“And what you did wasn’t selfish?” Su Xiaomo retorted quietly, tears streaking her face .
Later, the company her father worked in closed down . He made up his mind and took all their savings to start a business himself . The economy was booming at that time and his capital doubled within months .
Her mother found it a great opportunity as well . She put Su Xiaomo under the care of a relative, then followed her husband to another city .

The relative seldom asked about Su Xiaomo’s life and Su Xiaomo didn’t like that person’s family either . She spent most of her time alone at home .
The only good thing that came out of this was that no one forced her to draw now .
However, she was the only one left behind .
Her parents were so busy making money that they only came back once every several years . They barely called her at all .
A question kept nagging at Su Xiaomo during the countless quiet lonely nights: had she been abandoned by the entire world?
Could it be? No, it couldn’t have .
She enrolled in a taekwondo class, she began to drink, and she got into fights . She tried everything she had wanted to do but couldn’t before .
That would surely make her happy . She told herself so .

She finally fell asleep . When she woke up, she saw a man lying next to her .
WTF? Getting into bed with me without permission? You must have a death wish!
Her leg moved into action, which caught the man off-guard and he was kicked off the bed .
He Jiayu scrambled to his feet, looking resigned . “Are you sure you’ll ever get married acting like this?”
“Oh… it’s you,” Su Xiaomo said awkwardly .
He Jiayu gave her a “you’re incorrigible” look .
“Why are you here? Don’t you have work at the hospital?” Su Xiaomo asked curiously .
He Jiayu stretched . “I finished an operation early this morning and I thought I should drop by to check up on you . ”
“Check all you want . Why are you in my bed?” Su Xiaomo rolled her eyes .
He Jiayu smiled as gently as a spring breeze — the way that Su Xiaomo liked the most .
“That reminds me: I’m not interested in your bed, actually . ”
“I’m more interested…” he said suggestively, “in you . ”
