These days, we've been getting along very well, chatting and laughing. I find myself becoming more and more attached to her. I've even been so careless as to disregard her identity. If she hadn't mentioned going back home for a visit, I might still be in a deep sleep, not waking up.
"I haven't told you everything about me. Don't you think I should?" she suddenly asked me one day.
To be honest, I, Zhang Xiaobei, could never be so foolish as to not know what she does. From the first day I saw her, to following her, to rescuing her, and finally being together, I never thought things would develop like this. But the fact is the fact, and it can't be changed. I know her selling her body was forced, let the past be the past. From now on, she has become my woman, and I will take care of her and not let her be harmed anymore.
"If we weren't together, and you asked me like this, I would of course be very happy. I would say I strongly advise you not to mention anything about yourself to me. But now it's different, we are together. If I say I advise you, what difference does it make? It will only affect our relationship, so I won't advise you. If you want to say, say it. If you don't want to say, don't say it. I don't care. I only care that we can be together well, and I will be content!"
"I have to go back home. They will worry if they don't see me these days. And I... I have to give them some money, otherwise they will have nothing to eat and starve to death! It's embarrassing to tell you about the ugly things in my family, but I have no choice. I can't understand why God let me be born into such a family! Everything I have is ruined! But I love them, deep down I still love them, especially my father."
"If you can accept being with me, I think it's my blessing in this lifetime. I'm afraid that after I tell you the following, you will regret being with me, so I'm really struggling whether to tell you the truth! I think I have to tell you, otherwise it's unfair to you, and I will also be condemned by my conscience! Darling, please forgive me and say goodbye to my past, okay?"
"Darling, don't dwell on this matter. Tell me, what's going on with you?"
"First of all, I was born into a not very wealthy, no, a very poor family. There are seven of us in the family, including four younger siblings. I really don't know why they had so many children. Now we can't afford to support them all. It's really terrible! Only my father earns money in the family, but because of his status, his work has been repeatedly disrupted, and now he has fallen to begging on the streets to survive. Is there any way to save this family? Do you know, the things my father begs for are not enough to feed even one child. They are all at home waiting for help, and I have become the only economic pillar in the family. What comes next is probably the last thing you want to hear. I..."
"Oh, don't say any more, is your father Jonas?" I interrupted her, something I should have realized earlier.
"Darling, how did you know my father's name!" she looked at me in surprise.
"So, you are Jonas's eldest daughter, Betty!"
"Yes, that's right! What's going on here? How do you know my father?"
"Yes! Not only do I know your father, we are also friends. Can you believe it? We talked all night at the XX tavern for a long time, and I have already agreed to be friends with your father, Jonas!"
"Friends? You are friends? What kind of friends?"
"It's really a coincidence. He actually predicted that something would happen between us. I never expected to meet you in this way and end up together. Do you think it's a coincidence?"
"What do you mean, my dear? Have you changed your mind? Do you not love me anymore?"
"Quickly tell me what happened that day again!"
"They introduced me to this job, saying that the people involved were reliable, but this person turned out to be a maniac. Not only did she not provide the promised compensation, but she also threatened them not to disclose the matter. With so many women around, she singled me out. I was very scared. I thought I could get rid of her, but she clung to me like a mangy dog. I didn't dare tell my father, fearing it would lead to trouble. They promised to help me get rid of this person, but the situation was still unresolved until the day I met you. I couldn't escape no matter where I went. I was really scared, very scared. I'm afraid I'll be haunted by this demon for the rest of my life! Fortunately, you appeared, Xiao Bei. I love you, I really do. Please forgive my helplessness before..."
Betty cried pitifully like a child, and at that moment, I fell into contemplation.
I suddenly feel that I am no longer a child, because I have indeed grown up. I feel like a man, a man who can shoulder responsibilities, especially since I have a woman who loves me deeply.
Yes, I also do not see Betty as a girl, I see her as a woman. She is a living, breathing being with her own emotions and thoughts. Most importantly, she warms my body and makes me feel the beauty of the world. At this moment, I should be the happiest man in the world. Suddenly, my body spasms, and I sit up next to Betty. As I look at her, I realize she is looking at me too. I hold her tightly, kiss her lips, and she responds. Once again, I have her.
We lay in bed, and I whispered softly in Betty's ear, saying, "Let's face this together." Betty shed two deep tears and held me tighter.
I decided to help her break free and stop jumping into the abyss. I will find her a good job or help her pursue her own dreams. With my current skills, we can survive just fine.
It's time for me to have a good talk with Jonas. In what capacity should I talk to him? As Betty's friend, Betty's boyfriend, or Betty's fiancé? Or should I let Betty talk to Jonas first! I think no matter what capacity, it doesn't matter. What matters is that I am willing to pay Betty the salary she needs, I am willing to help her, and I am willing to pull her out of the abyss, which ordinary people cannot do.
"Thank you, my dear. My father will be so happy when he knows we are together. I can imagine his expression. I feel relieved! Xiao Bei, you are my lucky star!"
