Sobriety

Shi Feng on the monitor was no different from an animal. He used those strange things on those poor, abused women. Mai Qi screamed wildly and shut her eyes.

Su Shen and I rushed out of the bathroom. Su Shen went to switch off the monitor. I rushed forward to hug Mai Qi. The physical contact made Mai Qi scream like she was about to collapse.

I howled into her ear. "Mai Qi, it's me, Nanxing!" I hugged her tightly. Since she was screaming, I had to scream louder than her. We screamed until our voices changed.

Su Shen pulled me back and slapped Mai Qi in her face. Mai Qi stopped screaming and she stared at us. I untied the rope on Mai Qi and held her in my arms. I patted her back gently. "Mai Qi, it's me, Nanxing! Everything is fine."
