The TV is reporting on the case of the city's top science college entrance examination champion who has gone missing.
I turned back to look at the slender and fair-skinned boy on the bed in the bedroom.
I casually picked up a small knife from the table and walked towards him.
He was only wearing a white shirt all over, and the exposed skin was covered with bruises.
Seeing me approaching, he struggled to sit up, his voice hoarse, pleading.
"Please don't use the knife today, okay?"
I curved a gentle smile at the corner of my mouth, "No."
Accompanied by a painful low groan, the cold back of the knife passed over his delicate cheek.
