Yu Jihui: “A Stinking Old Ninth – A Tale of the Coal Capital” (updated on July 2020)
“I know I betrayed you. But I was cheated. I was
intimidated. I’m a fool. I hate myself. I regret what I
have done.”
“You are as honest and simple as a child. You
are easy to be cheated.”
“I feel guilty. Not a day I am not expecting to see
you. My heart is going to break. If you still don’t
forgive me, I’ll die soon.”
“You look thinner and paler.”
Tears welled up in my eyes. A moment later,
sobbing, I said, “I couldn’t fall asleep at night. I
couldn’t eat well. I couldn’t concentrate on
studying…”
“I know how you feeling. I don’t think you
would ever betray me. I trust that you are innocent.
But at this stage, I cannot say that I forgive you.”
“If you can’t, then I will kill myself!” I cried in
hysterics.
