When I was nine years old, my dad gambled away the house and moved with me.
My dad loved to beat people after he lost a bet. After he was beaten so hard, I hid at the top of the stairs and cried secretly, but a neighbor's kid saw me.
I wanted to save face and said fiercely: "Go in and you are not allowed to look."
He went home honestly, but disobediently came out with the medicine kit. He struggled for a long time and couldn't find which one to use, so he turned to me and said, "Brother, I don't know which one to use."
I didn't know that scars can heal on their own without medicine, but it will take longer.
But the silly kid insisted on applying medicine, so I had to take out a band-aid.
At nineteen, I was with him.
At the age of twenty-one, I promised that we would get married the day same-sex marriage became legal.
At the age of twenty-six, same-sex marriage was legal, and I married him.
Less than a month after getting married, he started not replying to messages or answering phone calls.
Seventeen years later, why didn't I see that Song Nansheng was the kind of person who wouldn't love someone once he got it?
