Recently, I’d been waking up with various bite marks on my body. My boyfriend said I was simply too tempting, and he couldn’t resist a little nibble at night. But when I looked closely, those tooth marks were clearly from 32 different people. 1. The research project was nearing its end. I carried the cakes and bubble teas I’d ordered for my junior colleagues to the lounge door. From inside, I heard Cathy’s bright, clear laugh. “Senior, this isn’t right, how Sebastian has been treating Evelyn. She’s just a bit harsh, she yelled at me a few times, but you don’t need to do all this just to get back at her. She’ll be furious if she finds out.” Sebastian scoffed. “Furious? What right does she have to be furious? Acting so superior, constantly giving you a hard time just because she’s a senior. Besides, my specially formulated concoction ensures she won’t remember a thing. How would she ever know?” “Exactly, exactly! Cathy, you’re just too soft-hearted. Evelyn Reed, always acting so high and mighty, deserves to be put in her place.” “Yeah, but even if Evelyn’s got a sour face, her body’s incredible. She’s quite the experience.” “Only you would dare, Sebastian.” Sebastian took a swig of his drink, then leaned in, playfully brushing Cathy’s nose. “She said you made 33 mistakes, didn’t she? Well, we’ll see that she’s utterly debased 33 times. Let’s see her hold her head high after that.” The others clapped. “Impressive, Sebastian! So, where’s the final act going to be?” “The lab,” Sebastian sneered. “For the last time, we’ll be ‘kind’ and do it in her most familiar place.” “Oh, brilliant! I’ve always wanted to have my way with her in the lab.” “But Sebastian, if we post the photos on the forum, Evelyn will definitely recognize herself. Won’t she cause a scene?” “Hmph.” Sebastian tossed his phone onto the table. “Afraid of what? Every photo shows a different man. Anyone who sees them will just say she’s promiscuous and shameless. What grounds would she have to confront me? And besides, the photos are still edited to obscure her face. If she dares to make trouble, I’ll blur your faces and upload the videos. I’ll make sure she can’t stay at Crestwood University.” “Whoa! Sebastian, your videos are incredibly clear! If you put those up, she’d be ruined!” “Sebastian, send me a copy of the video, please. It’s the last time. We can still watch her when we miss her.” Cathy picked up the phone, scrolled for a moment, then tossed it back to the speaker. She purred, “Hmph, Sebastian, you’re truly shameless.” The group erupted in laughter, but I felt as if I had fallen into hell. I frantically fumbled with my phone, scrolling through picture after picture of my naked body. My heart truly died then. The air around me felt sucked away, leaving me gasping for breath. I had always believed Sebastian to be thoughtful and attentive, always handing me a cup of perfectly warmed water after each experiment because he cared for me. I often fell asleep in the lab, but it wasn't from exhaustion. I had been drugged, systematically violated and humiliated by him and others, and they had taken photos and videos. It was sickeningly ironic that each time I woke up sore and aching, he would thoughtfully massage me, telling me not to overdo it. I had been touched by his kindness countless times, only now realizing it was merely to prevent my suspicion. All of this, simply because I had reprimanded his junior sister. I bit down hard on my palms, forcing myself to return to the university. On the way, every glance from a passerby filled me with terror. I felt like a prisoner stripped bare, flayed by the public’s eyes. Back at my dorm, I saw the stuffed animal Sebastian had given me on my desk. My rage ignited instantly. I frantically smashed everything he had given me to pieces. But it was useless! Utterly useless! Even destroying everything couldn’t erase the fact of my humiliation! My roommate returned, startled by the wreckage. “Did you have a fight with your boyfriend? He’s downstairs waiting for you with a bunch of stuff.” She pushed me downstairs. I saw Sebastian waiting. He handed me a few meal containers and a bubble tea. “Cathy brought you dinner and bubble tea. She said she’s sorry for bothering you these past few days and hopes you won’t be angry with her.” Seeing my silence, he gently ruffled my hair, his voice soft. “It’s just that our Evelyn is too brilliant, they can’t keep up with you, so they get flustered and make mistakes. Forgive her, okay?” Seeing me frozen, he brought the bubble tea straw to my lips. “Drink your junior sister’s tea, and this whole thing will be over. Since you have some time now, come to the lab and guide them.” I trembled violently, clutching his sleeve. “I won’t go! I’ll give you all my notes, but I won’t go!” Sebastian paused, then frowned in disapproval. “Evelyn, don’t be so childish! Cathy has already apologized, are you still going to hold a grudge? Besides, they’re clumsy. If they damage your experimental data or samples, how will you graduate?” He gently stroked my face, his voice still soft, yet I detected a hint of threat. “Be a good girl.” Sebastian half-pulled, half-dragged me to the lab. Cathy and the other team members were already waiting. The blatant, lingering stares of the team members slithered over my body, making me feel utterly nauseous. Sebastian looked at them. “Your senior is here, aren’t you going to greet her?” He then pushed me into the center of the group. Suppressing my trembling, I imported all the data to my computer. “I have other things to do, I don’t have time to guide you.” Sebastian pressed his fingers to his temples. “Evelyn, what’s wrong with you? You’re the senior! What’s wrong with guiding your junior colleagues?” He gestured to the others, who surrounded me. Sebastian picked up a glass of water, softening his tone. “Evelyn, I know you’re tired. Drink some water first, it’ll be over soon.” I desperately shook my head, my face filled with horror. “I won’t drink it! Let me go!” Sebastian looked at me like an unruly child. “Evelyn, you’re being too stubborn.” He had the others hold me down, forcing the water down my throat. “Standard procedure. No visible marks.” Listening to his cold voice, I closed my eyes in despair. 2. When I woke again, I was fully dressed, lying on a bed in the lab. The room was empty. Sebastian had sent me a message. “Evelyn, you fell asleep from exhaustion again. Cathy was tired, so we sent her back first. We’ll come pick you up later.” I suddenly remembered a phrase I’d vaguely heard before I passed out: “Should we include some audio recordings this time?” My hands trembling, I fumbled with my phone and opened the university forum. Sure enough, a new audio recording had been posted. It was my voice. The comments below were buzzing. Oh my god! Who is this? So shameless. More than one guy, right? How promiscuous. Wait, doesn’t that voice sound a little familiar? “Ah—” I shrieked, dropping my phone in horror, clutching my head in despair. Last time it was photos, this time it was an audio recording. What about next time? Would it be a video? What was I going to do? What could I possibly do? I swallowed desperately, as if trying to force down my shattered heart along with my breath. Tears streamed down my face. I wished I could just lose consciousness. When I dragged my broken, defiled body back to the dorm, I was met with my belongings strewn in the hallway and my roommate’s disgusted glare. “It was you, wasn’t it?” “Wh-what?” “The person on the forum.” My roommate scrutinized me, as if I were a piece of trash. “The photos last time, the audio recording this time, that was all you, wasn’t it? How disgusting. You always act so pure, but secretly you’re dirtier than anyone. Get out of this dorm with your stuff. Who knows what filth is on it.” I stood in the hallway, engulfed by the scornful gazes of those around me. Message notifications on my phone rang incessantly. Senior, I didn’t know you played around so much! How about me next? Senior, do you charge a fee? Tsk, tsk, tsk, ‘ice queen,’ more like a worn-out plaything. I bent down, picking up my discarded belongings one by one, only to realize that my shattered dignity was scattered across the floor with them. No matter how I tried, I couldn’t pick it up. Finally, enduring everyone’s contempt, I walked out aimlessly. At the university gates, I saw Cathy linking arms with Sebastian in the distance. Cathy saw me first. She blocked Sebastian’s view, then kissed him brazenly in front of me. I saw her whisper something to Sebastian, and he turned and walked away. She walked up to me, her eyes curving into a triumphant smile. “So, Senior, you saw it all?” “Oh, right, Senior.” She pulled down the collar of her shirt. “Is Sebastian always so passionate in bed? Look at all the marks he left on me.” Seeing the glaring red marks on her neck, I almost vomited. It was sickening. How could it be so sickening? My nails dug deep into my palms. The pain made me bend over, sinking wretchedly to the ground. Cathy looked down at me. “What’s wrong with Senior now? So pathetic. You always acted so high and mighty, but you scolded me so harshly for just a few mistakes.” She grabbed my hair, forcing my head up. Then she clucked in mock admiration. “Tsk tsk, Senior, your face is truly enchanting. No wonder all those guys in our lab were seduced by you. You must be so proud, Senior. Do you know how utterly shameless you looked underneath them?” I forced myself to straighten up. “And how shameless are you? Seducing someone else’s boyfriend.” “You’re lying!” she shrieked, clawing at me. “That’s still better than you, a common whore! You’ve been completely used up! You don’t know this, do you? Sebastian always said how disgusting you were whenever he was with me!” With that, she shoved me into the oncoming traffic. A car screeched past my feet, and I fell to the ground. Cathy slapped herself across the face, then ran to help me up. Her eyes were red, feigning tears. “Senior, what are you doing? I told you there’s nothing between Sebastian and me. You can slap me if you want, but running into the street? If you really got hit by a car, would you blame me for it?!” 3. Not far away, Sebastian rushed over, holding two bunny-shaped ice creams. He always said Cathy was like a cute, timid bunny. Cathy looked at him with surprise, then quickly turned her head, covering her face. “Li… Sebastian. Look at Evelyn, she fell down.” Sebastian didn’t even glance at me. He tenderly pulled Cathy’s hand away. Seeing the angry red handprint on her face, his expression immediately turned cold. “Evelyn Reed, you’re too much! You’ve been bullying Cathy all this time, and she’s never once held it against you! But you? You won’t let her go, and now you’re falsely accusing her like this!” Sebastian took Cathy’s hand, looking at me with cold disdain. “If you had even half of Cathy’s kindness and generosity, everyone wouldn’t despise you so much.” “Oh, really?” My hands clenched tighter. A sharp pain shot through my palms, and the haze in my mind cleared for a moment. “Look at her neck. Am I falsely accusing her?” A flicker of guilt crossed Sebastian’s eyes, quickly hardening into defiance. “You’re sick! You see filth in everything.” With that, he pulled Cathy away, walking off. As I tried to move, a sharp pain shot through my ankle. My lower abdomen also throbbed faintly. I limped to the hospital, only to be told I was pregnant. The news hit me like a lightning bolt. I frantically pounded my own belly. I didn’t want it! I didn’t want this child. He was my shame! The cold operating table pressed against my trembling spine. I felt like a fish on a chopping block, helpless as the doctor removed a blurry mass of blood and tissue from my body. When I regained consciousness, I saw it: a fetus, not yet fully formed, covered in blood. At that moment, Cathy sent me a video. She and Sebastian were kissing passionately, his breath ragged as he whispered to her. “Cathy, Cathy, you’re so much better. You have no idea, every time I see Evelyn, I just imagine her in others’ arms. She’s so dirty, it makes me sick!” I couldn’t stop myself from vomiting. The dead child, the explicit video, Sebastian’s contempt… Everything was utterly sickening. Pain crushed my heart, and tears mixed with vomit streamed down my face. Escape! Get out! My constricted chest reminded me: if I didn’t find a way out, Sebastian and Cathy would torture me to death! I had fought with all my might to get into Crestwood University, spending sleepless nights in the lab, not to meet Sebastian and be humiliated and violated by him! I thought of my former professor, currently abroad, and desperately reached out for help. “Professor, you once invited me to participate in your project overseas. Is it too late if I want to join now?”
