The Abyss

Dong Qin was stunned for a moment before laughing, her gaze distant. “Are you afraid? Afraid the same thing that happened to you will happen to me?” Zuo Shao Qin’s face changed dramatically, “You…! Did he tell you?!” Dong Qin said, “You two are siblings; do I even need to guess? The names, the looks, the habits… all the same. What am I? An abnormal child born of incest? Did you ever think of taking me for an IQ test? Maybe I’m an idiot, maybe some part of me is broken, maybe…” “Shut up!” Zuo Shao Qin swept everything off the vanity table onto the floor with a loud crash. Outside the door, silence reigned, no one dared to ask. Zuo Shao Qin was breathing heavily, her ample chest heaving beneath her clothes. “What did he do to you?” Zuo Shaoqin suddenly rushed forward, grabbed her shoulders, and shook her vigorously, “What did that pervert do to you?! He must have done something! Otherwise, there’s no way you could know this secret!” Dongqin smiled softly, her smile unusually charming. “What do you think? You’ve been with him for so many years; he only tells the truth when he’s in bed. You should know this secret, right?” Zuo Shaoqin trembled all over, staring at her as if she had seen a ghost. Dongqin brushed her hair and said softly, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave. Enjoy your honeymoon.” She turned to grab the door handle, but was suddenly embraced tightly, almost suffocating her. “That beast! That beast!” Zuo Shaoqin murmured incoherently. Dongqin was silent for a long time before speaking, her voice soft and ethereal, like the clouds in the sky, lacking any sense of reality. “Why are you crying? You didn’t cry when you left, why cry now?” Her back felt hot and damp; Zuo Shaoqin was crying like a child, heedless of anything else. Suddenly, Dongqin felt her body lighten, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her. The crying was so piercing, and Zuo Shaoqin’s arms were so tight they hurt. Yet, for the first time in her life, she felt something called relief.
