I took care of Amelia's funeral arrangements.
Then I packed my luggage and moved out of that house.

I moved to the floor closest to the convenience store downstairs.
And I often went in and out of that convenience store on purpose.
As I expected,the owner of the convenience store had changed.
It used to be an uncle in his fifties or sixties,but now it was replaced by a young and strong man.
There were also two small tables placed outside the store.
Every night after ten o'clock,two men would sit around the table with two cans of beer.

They would tell vulgar and obscene jokes.
Especially when I went to the convenience store to buy something and passed by,their laughter would get louder.
I wasn't annoyed.I just stopped for a moment.
I turned my head to look at them and then turned around and left.

After doing this several times,I saw the eagerness in their eyes.
My heart was even more excited.
However,to my surprise,it took a whole week to hook them up.
I remember that they used to strike up a conversation as soon as they saw someone.
God knows how hard it was for me to suppress the urge to kill them every time I saw them.
That night,at exactly twelve o'clock.
I specifically changed into a light and thin halter dress that could highlight my figure.
I carried the trash and walked downstairs slowly.As soon as I went out the door,I saw the three men sitting around the convenience store.
They stared straight at me without any hesitation.
I threw away the trash as usual and then walked straight towards the convenience store.
But today,I was different from usual.
I took out a can of beer from the refrigerator and stared at the tallest man among the three with a charming look.
"Do you want to have a drink together?"I said in a seductive voice.
I thought that under the light at this moment,I should be alluring.
The lustful light in that man's eyes and the excited smile that suddenly appeared on his face also confirmed my guess.
He quickly stood up and offered me his seat.
Then he went into the store and brought out another stool.
"What do you want to eat,little sister?Brother will treat you today."
As soon as I sat down,the fat man opposite immediately slapped the table,looking very generous.
"Really?"I smiled coquettishly at him.
I saw the smile on his face getting wider.He quickly ran into the store and brought out a bunch of snacks.
It was obvious that he had grabbed them randomly.
The leader,the man with a crew cut,and the tall and thin man next to him all laughed.
"The fat guy gets flustered when he sees a beautiful woman.It's still the power of a beautiful woman that's great~"
I didn't say anything.I just covered my mouth and laughed softly.
I tilted my head back and raised my hand.Half of the beer in the can went into my mouth.
The spilled beer ran down the corner of my mouth and onto my neck,and the other half spilled into the collar of my dress.
The white halter dress became transparent when it got wet.
I propped my head up with one hand and lazily glanced at them.
"It's really hot these days.The air conditioner in the room seems to be useless.I didn't expect the wind to be so strong at night.It's so cool to sit outside~"
After saying that,I opened another can of beer and poured it into my mouth.
I winked at the fat man,"It seems a bit boring to just drink beer."
The fat man immediately understood.He peeled a peanut and put it into my mouth with a smiling face.
"Suck~"
I deliberately sucked on the fat man's finger.I saw his face change.
I lowered my head and laughed softly.
"I originally thought that it would be cooler downstairs at this time.But I didn't expect it to be hot here too.The wind that blows is warm.It's really annoying...Hmm~"
I played with the beer in my hand and let out a soft sigh.
I openly endured their greedy eyes that kept wandering over me.
As if I remembered something,I suddenly raised my head.
"Hey?!Do you think the wind at the seaside is cold or hot at night?"
"Cold!Cold!"
The tall,thin man stared straight at me,his eyes slightly narrowed and the corners of his eyebrows raised,looking excited.
That disgusting tongue was still licking his lips.
"Right,cold.We just went to the seaside some time ago.At this time,the sea breeze is extremely cool.But the water,it's warm,"the crew-cut man said in a composed manner,yet the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
"Exactly!Exactly!"The fat man echoed like a fool.
My eyes narrowed slightly,and I exerted a bit more force in my hand.
The side of the beer can was severely dented.
"Listening to you guys,I'm eager to take a walk by the seaside.Seriously,you really don't know how to talk.How can I go to the seaside alone at night?It's so annoying."
I pretended to look melancholy,while my heart was churning with discomfort.
Seeing the three of them exchange glances,before long,the fat man couldn't hold back and spoke up.
"We were just discussing going to the seaside.How about going together?"
The fat man leaned forward slightly and turned his head to look at my face.
As if waiting for my reply.
I covered my mouth and chuckled softly,but completely crushed the empty can in my hand.
"I can't go tonight.It's too late.Driving from here to the seaside,it'll be dawn by the time we arrive.Once the sun comes out,it won't be cool anymore.I want it to be cool..."
The fat man pouted in disappointment,while the other two remained calm.
The crew-cut man grinned and brought me another can of beer."We often go to the seaside.It's really too late today.If we leave now,it'll be too hasty.Besides,since we just met,you surely don't feel at ease going with us big guys."
I raised my eyebrows and looked at him.I would remember this face no matter what.
It was him who,along with the other two,ruined Amelia.He was the prime culprit!
"Ha~It's not really about feeling at ease or not.It's just too hasty,"I said deliberately.
"Then how about going to the seaside tomorrow night?Please do us the honor,beauty?"As the crew-cut man spoke,his phone was already in front of me.
"Beep~"
I added their WeChat accounts one by one and took the beer the crew-cut man gave me.
Under the watchful eyes of the downstairs security guard,I swiped the access card and went upstairs.
This access card was obtained at the cost of Amelia's life.
Every time I swipe it,I feel a pang of pain.
And the hatred in my heart deepens.
Tomorrow night,I'm waiting for you...
