The case was closed, and Feng Xiuqi brought me Lin Anan's diary and a backup of the video.

The diary had a four-digit password. I tried every combination I could think of, but none of them worked.

Finally, I tried my own birthday.

With a click, the lock opened.

My heart couldn't help but ache.

Opening the diary, the dates started from middle school, intermittently recording things from daily life.

Being scolded by her mother for eating a piece of meat in front of her younger brother, being kicked for opening the door too slowly for her late drunk father, being forced to act as a horse for her younger brother to ride...

The plain text had no emotional outpour, but the sentences were filled with a sense of suppression.

I slowly turned the pages and came to the day we met.

Anan began to mention me in her diary, calling me Little Pomegranate.

The diary increasingly filled with our experiences, and the tone of the writing became more joyful.

Until the date reached two years ago.

“I didn't expect my mother to use a serious illness to trick me into coming home.

I don't want to marry Shen Bing; I just want to live my own life.

They took my phone away.

If Little Pomegranate can't get in touch with me, she must be worried sick.

......

They said Shen Bing has money, and I would enjoy life if I married him.

I only then found out that they had taken four hundred thousand and already spent it.

I begged them to let me go. I promised to work hard to earn money to pay Shen Bing back, but no one listened to me.

......

Dad came over today. I thought he was coming to hit me again.

Unexpectedly, he showed me a photo of Little Pomegranate.

I'm not afraid of him hitting me, but I'm afraid of him hurting Little Pomegranate!

......

I finally compromised.

Dad said if I didn't agree, he would slash Little Pomegranate's face.

That's something he would do.

I sent Little Pomegranate a breakup text as soon as I got my phone.

......

Little Pomegranate came to see me.

I acted like a mad woman obsessed with love, praising Shen Bing and saying the most hurtful things to Little Pomegranate.

Little Pomegranate got angry and left.

I'm sorry, Little Pomegranate. I hate myself too.”

The diary ended there.

It turns out Anan deliberately broke up with me to prevent me from getting hurt.

And like a fool, I believed her words.
