Chapter 76: Safety Sentry Raised

Chi Liuai cried so hard that she slipped from the coffee table to the floor, and the marble floor became the carpet. Chi Liuai didn't like this cold place.

She was clearly in a strange country, being threatened, abandoned and hurt, and she was already very hurt, but Meng Yuzhi still flew all the way from China to Thailand to snatch her back from someone else, just to give her a slap on the face.

How could there be such an unreasonable person, cold, overbearing, and tyrannical...

"It's going to hurt."

Chi Liuai's stomach was twitching. Just now in the critical situation, Chi Liuai was still strong. Compared with the gangster who pointed the gun at her head, Meng Yuzhi was much gentler.

It is precisely this kind of Meng Yuzhi that Chi Liuai fears, and he is also the person for whom Chi Liuai can cry freely.

Meng Yuzhi sat on the sofa with a calm expression. He did not move his ruler away from Chi Liuai's shoulder, but kept it lightly on his shoulders. He never intended to let Chi Liuai go this time.

Chi Liuai pretended to dry heave a few times. She hadn't eaten a proper meal in the past few days, except for drinking with her mother. When she faced Meng Yu, the discomfort she hadn't felt before suddenly surfaced.

She was truly miserable, dizzy and weeping her head off, her attempts to explain interrupted by sobs and retching.

She was in such a miserable state that she didn't win any sympathy from Meng Yuzhi.

"I'll give you one last chance." Meng Yuzhi's dark eyes remained calm as he repeated, "Explain."

Chi Liuai raised her eyes, tears welling up in them, and looked at Meng Yuzhi in confusion. He still looked indifferent, without the gentleness of the past. Was it only when he wanted to kiss her or sleep with her that Meng Yuzhi would show his gentle side to coax her? Once she made him angry, Meng Yuzhi would teach her a lesson for no reason, just like he does now.

Chi Liuai choked for a long time.

Meng Yuzhi's ruler moved for a moment, and Chi Liuai was frightened so much that she couldn't stop crying.

What does she want to explain?

She had simply gone to Thailand to see her mother without telling her brother, and had been harassed by some bad guys. What did Meng Yuzhi ask her to explain? She had done nothing wrong.

"I was just a little bit wrong." It means being discovered by you.

Meng Yuzhi lowered his eyes and tried hard to suppress the heaving of his chest.

He knew Chi Liuai's stubborn nature and knew exactly what she was thinking. If either he or Lin Zhun had been a step later, Chi Liuai would definitely not be safe and sound and just kneeling on the ground crying.

"Count yourself, thirty."

There was really no way to escape. Chi Liuai's fingers were slowly pried apart by the man. The palm that was originally stroking her head was now tightly clamped around her hand bones, causing her pain and tightness. She subconsciously pulled it away.

The ruler fell down unexpectedly, and Chi Liuai closed his eyes and cried bitterly.

The retreating hand was pulled back to its original position by Meng Yuzhi.

Chi Liuai forgot to count, and Meng Yuzhi told her indifferently that this time it didn’t count.

This frightened Chi Liuai so much that she didn't dare to cry. She wiped away her tears with her empty hands, sobbing and slowly closing her eyes.

She didn't know how many times she had counted, as Chi Liuai had messed up the count herself. Whenever she tried to be clever and counted randomly, Meng Yuzhi would start over. Compared to the crisp sound of the ruler hitting her flesh, Chi Liuai's cries were more shrill, and she didn't even feel the pain.

Meng Yuzhi looked at the little guy.

Every time the ruler fell behind, Meng Yuzhi would take the initiative to use force with his palm. His palm, which was twice as big as the girl's hand, could completely cover the trembling hand, and the ruler almost fell on Meng Yuzhi's hand.

After all, I feel sorry for the child.

Seeing Chi Liuai, who didn't suffer much pain, crying and screaming, closing her eyes until her head went black, and constantly begging Meng Yuzhi, he wanted to knock her unconscious.

Meng Yuzhi ordered: "One last time, open your eyes and see for yourself."

Chi Liuai knew that this man wanted her to watch him being punished with her own eyes, and he would never let her have an easy time.

The last lash of the ruler never fell, and Meng Yuzhi played with the girl's hand patiently.

The scarred hands were rough, with visible red marks across the fingers, and the backs of the hands were even more severe. It was obvious how much force Meng Yuzhi had struck, but the smaller hand, wrapped in the larger hand, was only slightly red. This was because Meng Yuzhi had gripped her too tightly, and Chi Liuai had suffered the inevitable injuries under his protective control.

Even if it is insignificant, it is enough to make the girl hate it.

"I'm giving you orders so that you can follow them, not to make me angry." Meng Yuzhi's tone left no room for doubt.

Chi Liuai raised her eyes little by little, her vision blurred by her wet eyelashes. She felt that Meng Yuzhi, who was looking down at her and pulling her hand up, was pressing her so hard that she couldn't breathe.

At this moment, the ruler passed through his sight.

Meng Yuzhi's cruel gaze penetrated through the blurry barrier. Chi Liuai could no longer hold back his fear and tried to pull his hand back.

Seeing that she was still trying to hide, Meng Yuzhi pried her hands up even harder.

At this moment, Meng Yuzhi, with a cold expression, heard the girl crying.

"Uncle, don't do this to me." Chi Liuai paused, thinking about why Meng Yuzhi couldn't treat her like this, so Chi Liuai emphasized with a choked sob, "Uncle, I love you, really, uncle."

The ruler hovered in the air.

Punishment does not reward bad kids with safe words.

It would appear when the girl couldn't bear the reward, and it would never appear in this punishment, emphasized by the girl's love and pleading. The moment Meng Yuzhi entered the Thai border, he was determined in his heart that Chi Liuai, who had almost fallen into the hands of the enemy, must be given a profound education. He would no longer feel sorry for any of the child's false tears, even if Chi Liuai hated him.

The veins on Meng Yuzhi's arms bulged as he gripped the ruler tightly, increasing the force.

He will no longer feel sorry for Chi Liuai.

Chi Liuai leaned her tearful face against Meng Yuzhi's knees, and her tears soaked Meng Yuzhi's suit pants.

"Uncle, don't do this to me."

She felt her hand slowly being loosened, and then a warm palm stroked her head, and her trembling shoulders were also soothed, patted gently like coaxing a child.

Meng Yuzhi remained silent throughout.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Chi Liuai who was frightened by him.

After the anger caused by worry subsided, he felt that Chi Liuai was really pitiful.

Every time she cried, she would have difficulty breathing, tremble, retch, and feel dizzy, soaking her and his clothes, making Meng Yuzhi as embarrassed as she was.

At this moment, I saw the girl raise her eyes, her face still resting on her knees, and tell myself very obediently.

"Actually, I came to Thailand because I missed you so much these past few days, so I came here secretly. But you left too early, and I accidentally saw Mom again."

Chi Liuai made up an explanation for the punishment.

The girl's black hair rubbed against the man's palm, making it itchy and hot.

Meng Yuzhi closed his eyes and lowered his breathing.

There was a sniff in the air.

Then came the unique muffled sound of the ruler hitting clothes against flesh, and Meng Yuzhi did not hold back at all.

Chi Liuai's pupils constricted, and her hands subconsciously covered her buttocks. The subsequent burning sensation was real pain, which made Chi Liuai bite her lower lip tightly, forcing herself not to cry out.

Her chest heaved violently, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but droop. At the moment when her emotions were about to collapse, she heard Meng Yuzhi above her head gently say, "Put away your tears."

Chi Liuai finally vented his anger and started crying.

She insisted on going against Meng Yuzhi, grabbed Meng Yuzhi's hand and bit it, but she tasted blood. Chi Liuai lowered her eyes and looked at her bleeding hand hit by the ruler, looking at Meng Yuzhi in disbelief.

Meng Yuzhi didn't care. He put his palm on the girl's cheek and stroked it gently.

"Does it hurt?"

Chi Liuai nodded, tears falling.

When she thought Meng Yuzhi was going to apologize to her, she saw the man leaning over. The light was blocked by the man's back. Chi Liuai felt Meng Yuzhi's shadow, smell, gaze, and breath invading her surroundings.

"Even if you apologize, I won't forgive you."

Meng Yuzhi continued gently, "Then learn this lesson, or it will happen to your legs and feet again." He gently lifted the girl's chin and said, "Or, your lying mouth."

The last penalty is the last one.

This matter was over, Meng Yuzhi's kiss briefly fell on the girl's lips, and Chi Liuai, who was frightened and stunned, did not dare to refuse Meng Yuzhi's kiss.

This is not the time to hug and coax Chi Liuai.

After Meng Yuzhi personally applied some cold medicine on her hands, Chi Liuai refused to let Meng Yuzhi touch her injured butt.

She didn't dare to say no. Just when Meng Yuzhi was about to lift her skirt, Chi Liuai's tears of humiliation fell on the back of Meng Yuzhi's hand.

Meng Yuzhi said nothing. He sorted out the medicines for internal and external use, told Chi Liuai how to use them, and left.

Because she hated Meng Yuzhi too much, Chi Liuai was immersed in her own resentment. She lay on the bed with her head covered by the quilt and cried silently. So when she really couldn't bear the burning wound on her buttocks, she remembered that she didn't hear what Meng Yuzhi said clearly.

She would rather endure the pain than ask Meng Yuzhi how to use these foreign medicines.

In the quiet bedroom, there was the rustling sound of Chi Liuai getting out of bed. She moved little by little with difficulty. It was not particularly painful, but Chi Liuai always felt that if she was not just pitiful, Meng Yuzhi would not realize his cruelty.

Chi Liuai, who thought she would never forgive Meng Yuzhi in this life, was suddenly stunned. She saw that each medicine was affixed with a pink sticky note, with vigorous Chinese characters written all over it, indicating usage, dosage and precautions.

Meng Yuzhi was on the terrace next door. When he saw the girl take the initiative to apply the medicine, he looked away.

The blood on his fingers had dried, but Meng Yuzhi was not in the mood to clean up the mess on his hands. It had only been two hours since he took Liu Ai away, and Liu Ai would probably make a fuss and leave soon.

The cigarette butt burned his finger. Meng Yuzhi lowered his eyes and slowly crushed the spark in the ashtray.

As the white mist rose, the man's calm face suddenly twitched for a moment, and the emotions that could no longer be concealed broke through his rationality.

[I love you, uncle.]

[Uncle, don't do this to me.]

Chi Liuai was still Chi Liuai, unwavering. After Meng Yuzhi instinctively acted out of despair, the girl mocked his softness with lies. Lies, lies, lies, Chi Liuai kept lying to him, and Meng Yuzhi couldn't help but laugh at himself.

What made him even more angry was probably the feeling of helplessness he felt when he saw a tear shed by Chi Liuai.

Whose safeword is it anyway?

When Chi Liuai called out "Uncle" in her most terrified moment, wasn't it a reminder to Meng Yuzhi that he should coax her, hold her in his arms, and tolerate her without any bottom line. He should not punish Chi Liuai in any way, should not let Chi Liuai suffer any punishment, should not let Chi Liuai hate him, and should not push her away in a harsh way.

The safe word was the whistle Chi Liuai gave to Meng Yuzhi to restrain himself.

But Chi Liuai used it as a tool to deceive Meng Yuzhi into softening his heart.

There was a noise at his bedroom door, but Meng Yuzhi ignored it.

Soon, a slender black shadow appeared on the terrace.

Meng Yuzhi glanced sideways at Chi Liuai. She was still wearing a thin skirt, but the belt was untied. The loose suspender skirt was draped over her body, wrinkled and wet, looking very pitiful.

Chi Liuai's eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Help me apply the medicine!"

"What?" Meng Yuzhi's black eyes wavered slightly, and then he saw the girl's face turn red instantly.

"It's too deep, I can't reach it!" Chi Liuai looked at Meng Yuzhi angrily, "It's all your fault!"

Meng Yuzhi raised his wrist to check the time; Lin Zhun was probably about to arrive.

Chi Liuai saw that the man quickly took the medicine box and while preparing, he nodded at the lounge chair on the terrace with his eyes, and Chi Liuai moved over with difficulty.

The medical gloves fit tightly against Meng Yuzhi's finger bones. Chi Liuai turned his head to look at the slender fingers that were slightly flexing and extending. His movements were methodical, and he slowly explored the red mark until he reached the deepest part.

Chi Liuai hummed in dissatisfaction, and suddenly felt the man stop moving.

She was in a kneeling position, and any movement would be extremely obvious. Meng Yuzhi patted her and said.

"raise."
