CHAPTER 008

Yao Yao didn’t wake up until the afternoon, and Qu Zhengming still hadn’t returned yet. She looked at the medicine on the bedside table, and couldn’t help but glare coldly at the contraceptive pills afterwards.

She took the medicine again and dragged her weak body out of bed, and proceeded to thoroughly cleanse herself.

The butler brought food and a full set of clothes as well as a key, which was left for her by Qu Zhengming, saying that it was her new residence.

Yao Yao took the key, changed clothes, and ate nothing.

As a side effect of the birth control pill, she was dizzy and nauseous and didn’t want to eat.

The driver of the Qu family sent her to the new residence and left her with a home phone. If necessary, she could go find Butler Liu.

Yao Yao sent him away with little enthusiasm and headed straight to bed again.

She slept for three full days, only ordering take-out once a day; eating, taking medicine, and sleeping.

Yao Yao disappeared for three days, and the last phone that was connected was picked up by a man. Now she was famous again. Many people speculated that she was tortured and sick because of her customers.

When Yao Yao came back to school, and heard of this rumour, she nodded secretly in her heart. This time, they finally guessed correctly.

She looked terrible; she lost a lot of weight in three days, and her collarbone became even more obvious. At first glance, she had the illusion of a pin-shaped bone.

This time, even those who have poisoned their mouths didn’t say anything in front of her; she simply looked too pitiful.

After the bell rang, she slowly packed things up, and ultimately became one of the last students in class.

As she looked up, she saw a teenager standing in front of the classroom. The remaining students who did not leave gathered around in groups of twos and threes.

Yao Yao lowered her head and passed by him, before being caught by a long and graceful hand.

Qu Jingzi’s brow furrowed and his face was ugly. He asked, “Why don’t you answer my calls?” Yao Yao took out her phone and turned it off. She turned it on, and there were only three missed calls from Qu Jingzi.

”I shut it down; forgot it.”

Qu Jingzi; “I bought a new phone.”

”Huh.”

Yao Yao turned around and was pulled again.

Qu Jingzi took out a beautifully packaged box and said, “It’s for you.”

Yao Yao looked up and looked at him without speaking.

Qu Jingzi’s calm face was stained with confusion, and then he was surprised. Finally, there was a strange panic. He reached out and wiped the tears on her face, and asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you crying?”

Yao Yao looked with his black and white eyes washed by tears. Once bright eyes were now dim with despair.

She didn’t answer, just shook her head, “I already said that we broke up.”

Qu Jingzi put the jewelry box in her arms and wiped her tears while saying: “You said, but I didn’t agree.”

Yao Yao shook his head, more desperate. , “No, I can’t be with you anymore.”

”Why? Do you like the man who redeemed you from the nightclub?” Qu Jingzi looked cold.

Yesterday, Qu Zhengming gave him the results of Yaoyao’s investigation, but the man who had redeemed her from the nightclub was himself.

Qu Jingzi only knew there were such individuals, but he didn’t know who they were.

Yao Yao looked pale, and she looked at the teenager in front of her, trembling: “It’s too late, if…”

Qu Jingzi was determined; he pulled her wrist, “Come with me, tell me who that person is.”

Yaoyao pushed him hard, to no avail.

Although Qu Jingzi is not in good health, he is still a man, and is anatomically stronger than her.

Due to the movement, the sleeves were lifted, and the white arm was exposed to Qu Jingzi’s eyes, and… the patches of kiss marks on it.

”What’s this?”

He stopped Yao Yao from hurriedly pulling down the sleeves and grabbed her arm for a closer look. Aside from the hickeys, faint bruises and the half-faded tooth marks also littered her arm.

Seeing this, he still didn’t understand.

Qu Jingzi pulled off her coat, and tugged her neckline down her shoulders, revealing a fairer, jade-like half of her shoulder blades, as well as denser hickies and tooth marks.

Yao Yao’s eyes closed desperately, and she didn’t even try to cover it in vain. There was no need for it. All the ugly truths were exposed to the public.

Qu Jingzi pursed her lips.

Was he sad? Maybe a little.

Angry? Yes.

His girlfriend, whom even he had not touched yet has been sullied by another man. The most hateful thing was that he didn’t even know who the other person was.

”Come with me!”

Yao Yao struggled, but didn’t make any effort at all. Qu Jingzi dragged her wrist hard, regardless of her resistance, and took her into the car.

Locking the door of the car, he dragged her and asked, “Did he force you?”

Those scars, indeed they evoked pity. Especially those deep tooth marks, which formed a thick scab; at the time the bleeding must have been severe.

Yao Yao didn’t expect Qu Jingzi to ask such a question. She nodded, in tears.

Qu Jingzi took off his coat, covering the windows and turned back: “Take off your clothes for me.”

Yao Yao’s face changed, and she quickly shook her head.

Qu Jingzi’s brow furrowed, his eyes cold, and spoke aggravatedly: ” I won’t do anything. I want to see the severity of your injuries.”

Yao Yao slowly took off her shirt, revealing a rounded chest, skin like cream, but the top was smeared with mottled scars. It was a large area, and quite frightening.

In fact, the injuries on her body were not serious. Only a few wounds were from Qu Zhengming biting her body, but because the congestion did not lessen, and it became so terrible.

Qu Jingzi was unclear, his face heavy.

”Are there any other injuries?” he asked.

Yao Yao didn’t answer, he asked: “Where is it?”

Her face was red, opening and closing her mouth several times, before she blurted quickly and quietly: “Below.”

Then, she avoided looking at him.

Qu Jingzi sat upright and asked, “Is it serious?”

”It burned for a few days.”

Qu Jingzi realized that she seemed to be a little thinner, not as flesh-like as before.

He was very dissatisfied. She used to feel nice and soft.

”Now?”

”It’s all right.”

Yao Yao put on her clothes and Qu Jingzi also withdrew his coat. He took out the lighter, lit a cigarette between his lips, and played with the lighter in his hand.

Yao Yao: “Smoking is bad for the lungs.”

Qu Jingzi: “You dislike the smell of smoke?”

Yao Yao: “… Mm.”

He grabbed the cigarette butt, opened the ashtray, and pinched it with his fingers.

Yao Yao pulled out a small napkin wipe and handed it to him. He took it and wiped the soot off his fingers.

He rarely smokes, but these two days are too annoying to calm his emotions.

He asked: “Who is he?”

Yao Yao shook his head: “I can’t say.”

”I don’t want to say, or can’t I say?”

”Both.”

He frowned: “How much did it cost to redeem you ? I will give it back to him, then you’ll have had nothing to do with him in the future, okay?”

Yaoyao gently took his hand: “He won’t agree, he doesn’t lack money.” Your money is still his.

Qu Jingzi pursed his lips tightly, suddenly inserted the car key, and stepped on the accelerator.

The car rushed out.

Yao Yao: “Where are you going?”

Qu Jingzi : “Go back to my house.”

Yao Yao was shocked and quickly stopped: “No, I won’t go!”

Qu Jingzi frowned: “Don’t make trouble! Before I deal with this matter, live in my house, don’t go to see him again.”

Since she didn’t want to say, let him find out the answer by himself.

Yaoyao’s attitude was very firm, and even went up to grab the steering wheel, the car almost hit the tree next to it.

Qu Jingzi’s lips turned purple and asked, “What are you going to do?”

Yao Yao: “I’m not going to your house!”

He looked at her for a long time, frowning when he saw no sign of concession, “Address “

”What?” Yao Yao asked, puzzled.

”If we don’t go to my house, where do we go? The address.”

Yaoyao wanted to say her address, interrupted by Qu Jingzi, “I’ve been to your house, it is not in good condition. You have been in him for the past three days?”

Yao Yao: “No. In another house.”

”He arranged it?”

”Mm.”

Qu Jingzi smashed the steering wheel and threw her a key, “My place; live there for now.”

Yao Yao Yao held the key and never refused.

The Qu family house was not close to the school, so sometimes, after a late class, Qu Jingzi does not want to go home and will spend the night here. The house was just bought; not very big, with one room and acted as a family studio, piled up with a variety of tools and paint.

He left Yao Yao in the house and explained: “I’m going to buy something.” With that, he went out the door.

Seeing him close the door, Yao Yao was relieved and leaned back on the sofa to watch TV. This world was exactly the same as the real world. Even the TV series she used to follow before in the real world were broadcasted here.

She didn’t know why Qu Jingzi still hung around her. Though that is not the point, the point is Qu Zhengming’s reaction after knowing this matter.

Qu Jingzi went out for a long time and brought back a lot of things; clothes, shoes, toiletries and cosmetics.

Two store employees carried big bags and brought them in.

After the employee left, he threw a plastic bag to Yaoyao and said, “Take it on time.”

Yaoyao opened it and looked at the contents. It was exactly the same as the medicine left by Qu Zhengming, even the ointment for external use was the same.

And this ointment does not seem to be mass-produced outside, more like homemade.

Qu Jingzi: “I asked the doctor, they prescribe these medicines for you. Remember to take it on time.”

Yao Yao: “…Okay.” The father and son appear to use the same doctor.

Qu Jingzi took out the box of ointment, “This, apply on the wound, three times a day. In one week, it will heal.”

Yao Yao blushed and nodded.

Qu Jingzi gave her a profound look and asked, “Do you know how to use it?”

Yao Yao quickly continued to nod.

”Are you sure?”

”Well. I know.” She whispered, “I also have topical ointment in my previous medicine.”

Qu Jingzi explained all the things that needed to be explained and sat on the sofa with a serious expression. “The lakeside incident, I was wrong, I should not have come later on purpose..Do you still like me?”

Yao Yao looked at him in surprise, as if she would not expect an apology suddenly at this time.

Qu Jingzi waited for her answer.

To say that love is really not much, but it is true that he likes her. When he lost the most important person in his life, she appeared, filling the emptiness during that time.

Also, the artboard she held tightly when she fell into the water that day…

if there was love, it started from then.

Yao Yao looked at him, and despair reappeared in his eyes.

”If you still like me, tell me what’s wrong with me, and I’ll change it.” He didn’t seem to be accustomed to saying such things, he finished it in one breath, and it seemed like that short sentence took away half his life. The little hairs on his body all stood up, fearing how others would touch them.

A little cute.

At this moment, Yaoyao’s cell phone rang.

She looked down and her face was transient.

——It’s Qu Zhengming’s call.

Qu Jingzi raised his eyebrows and stood up and asked: “Is he?”

Without waiting for Yaoyao’s reply, he quickly answered: “Pick it up! I’ll talk to him!”

TRANSLATOR'S NOTE

Just a minor clarification for the last few lines; Qu Jingzi does not know that the caller is his father, but he assumes it must be the man who bought Yao Yao, so he tells her to pick up the call and let him talk.

Also worry not! The next arc is much easier to swallow than this one. (in terms of less butthole-y male leads..) I’m looking forwards to translating it, so here’s an earlier update! Thank-you for reading!
