I'm an orphan.Amelia had the same background as me.
In my sophomore year,I was working part-time at a buffet restaurant.

The lobby manager chased after me in front of all the guests and pointed at my nose to scold me just because I was a bit slow in refilling the food or walking a bit slowly.
Of course I knew that all this was because I had rejected his invitation to go to KTV after work.
He was targeting me.
But I endured it all the time because I needed this job.
She appeared out of nowhere and shouted a long string:"Are you deliberately picking on her?The others aren't fast either.Why do you only scold her and not others?And you're scolding her in front of so many people.You're definitely doing it on purpose.You're so proud of being a lobby manager in this lousy buffet restaurant,aren't you?With such a tiny position,you're acting so arrogantly.If you scold her again,I'll complain that you're ruining my meal!"
I stared at her blankly,full of gratitude in my eyes.

But I was also curious.This was the first time I saw someone come to eat buffet.She was not only beautiful but also had a big appetite.
When I went to clean up her plate,I mustered up the courage to add her on WeChat.
I don't know why.I was used to being alone all the time,
but for the first time,I had a strong urge to become friends with her.

I couldn't find anything to say,so I stupidly sent a message:"It's'hold a chicken feather as an arrow',not'chicken steak'."
As soon as I sent it,I regretted it and scolded myself for being stupid.
Unexpectedly,she directly made a video call.
I don't remember exactly what we talked about that night.
I only know that during the one-hour call,
the time I heard her laughter added up to half an hour.
When she laughed,I laughed too.
I didn't know what was so funny.
The next day,we had an appointment for a meal in the cafeteria.
I treated her.I ordered three stir-fried dishes,which was a rare thing for me.
After that meal,we officially became good friends.
Since then,we were inseparable on campus.
As time passed,rumors about the two of us suddenly spread on campus.
The campus post bar and forum started to spread rumors that our relationship was extraordinary.
That we had gone beyond friendship and were developing towards love.
Otherwise,why would two beautiful girls turn a blind eye to a large number of suitors
and stick together all day long?What else could it be but love?
Amelia and I tacitly chose not to explain.
It wasn't because it was really as they said.
They simply didn't understand that people who grew up without relatives since childhood,the thing they yearn for the most is love,and the thing they fear the most is also love.
We refused to get involved in those immature relationships that were just for fun.
Later,we graduated.
We rented a house together and continued to live together.
Sometimes,I couldn't tell what kind of feelings I had for Amelia.
I think it was more of a family affection than friendship.She was my only reliance and salvation in this world.
But someone had to go and ruin her...
I placed the small box containing Amelia on the balcony.
Directly facing the seaside where I was going tonight.
They had already parked the car and were about to go to the seaside.
The guesthouse where I lived was only a few minutes'walk from the seaside.
"Meet in the shower room?"
Tom,the tall,thin man,suddenly sent a message.
There were special shower rooms by the seaside for people to change clothes and take showers.
If you were willing to spend money,you could also enter the VIP rooms.
I didn't reply to the message immediately.Instead,I waited for half an hour.
Then I sent him a private message:"Wait for me for a while.Just you.I haven't changed my clothes yet..."
"Okay.I'll let Alex go down first,"he replied instantly.
At this moment,I was standing not far from the line of people waiting outside the shower room.
Watching Alex,the crew-cut man,go to the seaside alone with his things,
I then picked up my bag and walked towards the entrance of the shower room.
When Tom saw me,he welcomed me with a look of joy.
He was very attentive and helped me carry my bag.
I directly bought a couple's ticket at the window and gave Tom a coquettish look.
Tom immediately understood.He carried my bag and put his arm around me,walking towards the area where there were fewer people waiting for the couple's rooms.
As soon as we entered the room,Tom's true nature was revealed instantly.
He rushed up and impatiently tore at my clothes.
"Hey!"I instinctively shouted in disgust.
Tom's face changed suddenly,becoming fierce.
I immediately softened and reached out to hook his neck.
"Don't be so impatient.You hurt me just now.Seriously,as soon as we enter the room,you..."I pretended to be shy and punched him on the chest.
The smile on Tom's face immediately spread.
His actions became gentler,but only for a few seconds.
When I took off my short-sleeve and stood in front of him in a bikini,
I clearly felt his breathing gradually become heavier.
He pounced on me like a hungry beast seeing food,gnawing at me.
I instinctively turned my face away,enduring the disgusting itching on my neck.
I leaned against the wall step by step following his movements.At this moment,
the hands that were hooking his neck suddenly moved down slowly.
I spread my five fingers and grabbed his neck hard,then suddenly scratched inward.
Tom's body trembled violently.He quickly covered his neck with his hands.
He looked at me in horror and staggered backwards.
"You..."Before he could finish his words,his body fell heavily to the ground.
I watched as Tom twitched a few times,his pupils gradually dilated.
Finally,he stopped moving.
