Wen Lan paused and took a drag from his cigarette, looking very calm. "The female tutor who came to my house later was a psychopath. Her favorite thing was torturing children."
He chuckled and glanced at Bai Su. "Do you know what the worst time was for me?"
Bai Su didn't say anything.
Wen Lan continued, "I was stripped naked and thrown onto a main road. The tutor sternly said she was punishing me this way because I had coveted her."
"I was fourteen that year."
'Back then, I couldn't even stand to be near females, so how could I possibly have coveted her?'
From then on, he grew to despise adult females. It even left him with severe psychological trauma, causing him to feel physically nauseous and sick to his stomach upon contact.
Bai Su said, "Wen Lan."
He turned to look at her.
"If you don't want to smile, you don't have to."
Wen Lan pressed his lips together. The smile at the corners of his mouth finally faded, and the coldness in his eyes was slowly exposed.
