Chapter 428 Tooth Extraction

Chen Zhichu insisted on leaving, and Bai's mother didn't want to force him to stay. Everything should be done in moderation, and you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Moreover, she could see that Shen Zhichu cared about Qiu Jing more than just an ordinary friend, and this was already very good.

"I'll call a car to take you home."

"No need, Aunt Li. I've already called a car. The driver will be downstairs at the hospital soon. I'm leaving now."

You can just put your costumes in the bag and carry them with you without having to pack them up.

"Well... okay, be safe and text Qiu Jing when you get there."

Shen Zhichu said “hmm” and turned to leave the ward.

Bai Qiujing got up from the bed and watched Chen Zhichu leave. He stood at the door motionless until he turned the corner and got on the elevator.

Looking at his injured right arm, he thought that if he hadn't been injured, he could have driven Shen Zhichu back.

Bai's mother walked quietly to his side and asked softly, "Do you like her so much? You're still looking at her even after everyone has gone downstairs."

Bai Qiujing's ears twitched twice, which was considered as his agreement.

"If you like her, just tell her in front of her. What's the point of hiding it?"

"I've made it very clear on Weibo, and so many people know that I like her and want to be with her."

Bai's mother said, "So many people know, but she doesn't know."

Bai Qiujing dejectedly replied, "How do you know she doesn't know? Maybe she just pretended not to see it because she didn't want to hurt me. If I tell her that I like her and break our relationship, we might not even be able to be friends anymore."

"Then how do you know she is pretending not to know?" Bai's mother asked back.

Bai Qiujing was speechless for a moment, his eyebrows furrowed, not knowing how to answer.

Bai's mother raised her lips and sighed, then raised her hand and touched Bai Qiujing's head: "Don't worry, you are still young anyway."

The discharge procedures were quickly completed. Bai Qiujing followed his parents back to the Bai family home. On the way, he asked, "Where's my car?"

Bai's mother said, "The front of the car was damaged, so we took it to the garage for repairs."

"What about what's inside me?"

"At home, go back and see if there is anything you are missing."

It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, so Bai Qiujing needs to stay at home for at least a month. The Bai family is not short of money, so they have arranged all kinds of tonics for him, and they just eat whatever they want, and stew bone soup every day.

Bai Qiujing checked the things in the car as soon as he got home. His keys, cell phone, driver's license, ID card, wallet, and the photo he had taken from the orphanage were all there.

The phone was out of battery and turned off. Bai Qiujing rushed to turn it on and saw the missed calls and text messages as soon as he opened it.

He clicked on the text messages one by one, and they were all unimportant. Bai Qiujing selected a few to reply to, one of which was to his agent, telling him that he was fine.

Bai Qiujing lay on the bed, holding his mobile phone in one hand to check Weibo and report his safety to netizens and fans.

A hand injury would delay a lot of things, and since it was on the right hand, it was not very convenient to do anything. Bai Qiujing could only lie on the bed bored, scrolling through the watch list aimlessly over and over again. When the phone suddenly rang, Bai Qiujing thought it was Shen Zhichu calling at first, and his eyes lit up, but when he saw the call number, his eyes instantly collapsed.

Li Jingshen.

Bai Qiujing didn't want to answer his call at this time, fearing that his condition would worsen.

He hung up the call without a second thought, but soon after he hung up, the call rang again, endlessly. Perhaps because he was tired of the noise, Bai Qiujing turned over and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Why are you calling me?" It's definitely impossible for Li Jingshen to call him so frequently just to show concern for him.

"I heard you were discharged from the hospital."

"Boss Li is well-informed. Since you know I've been discharged, you should also know that Zhichu took care of me in the hospital all night last night. It was just her and I, a man and a woman, in the same room. We even slept together. She even helped me brush my teeth, wash my face, and wipe my body. She even helped me take off my pants when I needed to go to the bathroom."

The half-truths and half-falsehoods mixed together were enough to stimulate Li Jingshen for a while. They just wanted to hurt each other and no one was afraid of whom.

A chuckle came from the phone: "I didn't expect you to be in good spirits."

Bai Qiujing poked him with his words: "Of course I'm in good spirits. After all, I have someone to take care of me."

"Chen Zhichu only looks after you because of your face. Judging from the place where you had the car accident yesterday, you must have just come out of the orphanage on that road." Li Jingshen is good at manipulating people's hearts. He knows what Bai Qiujing fears most at the moment, that people's hearts can be changed.

"Chen Zhichu died once. The person she likes is not me and it can't be you. It's the person named Bai Qiu. She is with you only because you look like Bai Qiu. I think she often gets dazed when she looks at you, right?"

Every word was as sharp as a knife. Bai Qiujing listened to every word coming out of Li Jingshen's mouth. He could hardly sit still, and his shoulders felt as if the bones had been broken.

He wanted to refute Li Jingshen's words, even if it meant telling lies with his eyes open, but when he was about to make a sound through his lips, his mouth and nose seemed to be covered by someone, making it impossible for him to breathe.

However, this is not the end. Killing people is like destroying their hearts. When people are injured, both their body and mind will become very fragile. At this time, playing psychological warfare is the easiest way to achieve his goal.

Li Jingshen admitted that he was not a gentleman, and he had never thought of being a gentleman. He was a businessman, a profiteer.

And Shen Zhichu is the most precious treasure to him, he will never give it to anyone else.

The only thing to be thankful for is that he understands Shen Zhichu better than anyone else.

"Do you know why Shen Zhichu named the group [A.W]? Autumn White means Bai Qiu..."

The name "Bai Qiu" is a double-edged sword. It dealt a heavy blow to Bai Qiujing and also made Li Jingshen feel uncomfortable.

…….

Bai Qiujing didn't know when Li Jingshen hung up the phone. His mind was full of Li Jingshen's words and the look Shen Zhichu gave him when they were together.

He knew it from the moment he left the orphanage, but he had been deceiving himself.

What kind of person is Bai Qiu that makes Shen Zhichu obsessed with him?

His love will not be in vain, the only thing he loses is time.

Other people’s rivals can be compared face to face, but what can he use to compare with a dead person?

He was so cautious in his love that he didn't even dare to test it. Li Jingshen was right, he was a coward and he shouldn't have gone to an orphanage.

If he didn't go, he wouldn't know the truth, and he would still be narcissistically thinking that Shen Zhichu liked him from the beginning.

He could still think of the name [A. W] as Affinity White, and Shen Zhichu wanted to have a close relationship with him and want to marry him.

Instead of autumnwhite, which means white autumn.

The phone fell to the ground with a dull thud. Bai Qiujing lowered his head and looked over. Something fell from his eyes. He reached out to wipe it away, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.

So hopeless.

He doesn't want to be someone else's substitute. Shen Zhichu, do you like that person named Bai Qiu so much? If I were disfigured and didn't have those two canine teeth in my mouth that missed him, would you not look at me more?

Before this, he was confident that he could stand behind Shen Zhichu and he would be satisfied just by looking at her back, but a phone call from Li Jingshen made him lose everything.

So this is what it feels like to have unfulfilled expectations. Bai Qiujing stood up staggeringly. His brain, which had not yet fully recovered, was aching terribly. He opened the bedroom door and was unaware of the servants greeting him in the corridor. He went straight to the utility room and found a pair of pliers for pruning garden branches.

Bai Qiujing returned to the house with a pair of pliers and squatted in an inconspicuous corner. He opened his mouth and held the pliers close to his left canine tooth. The pliers in his hand clamped the small canine tooth like a poisonous snake. He slowly tightened the strength in his hand, pressed down and pulled. The veins on his left arm bulged, and his fingers turned red and the knuckles turned white.

There was a "click" sound, and the tooth was forcibly pulled out without any measures. The tooth rolled on the ground covered with blood.

Bai Qiujing seemed to feel no pain. He opened his mouth numbly and let the blood flow to the ground. His hand holding the pliers was shaking violently.

With a tooth missing, it felt like he was having trouble breathing. Bai Qiujing threw away the pliers in his hand, curled up in the corner, and held his head with his left hand.

His mouth was full of the taste of blood, and tears mixed with blood went down his throat. He felt like vomiting and he opened his mouth and couldn't help retching.

There was a knock on the door, but Bai Qiujing didn't answer.

It was Bai's mother who knocked on the door. She heard from the servant that Bai Qiujing was in a strange mood, so she took a pair of pliers and went back to the bedroom.

Bai's mother felt uneasy. Bai Qiujing was fine in the hospital, so why did he change after coming back? He even locked himself in the room and refused to come out.

She opened it with the spare key: "Son." As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Bai Qiujing huddled in the corner, a pool of blood on the ground, and blood-stained pliers and teeth.

"Qiu Jing, what's wrong with you?" Bai's mother knelt down on the ground anxiously, holding Bai Qiujing's face with both hands anxiously to see his mouth.

There was blood in his mouth, and a small bloody hole suddenly appeared on a row of beautiful teeth, which was very eye-catching. Bai's mother's eyes turned red. Don't ask anything at this time.

Bai's mother held his chin and said, "Mom will take you to the hospital..."

"No, I just pulled out a tooth." Bai Qiujing held a mouthful of blood, his voice hoarse and trembling.

Bai Qiujing's appearance reminded her of when he just woke up in the hospital. He also looked confused and huddled in a corner, unwilling to go out.

Bai's mother looked distressed. Bai Qiujing said so easily that he just pulled out a tooth. He didn't know how painful it was for his mother to see it.

"Okay, I'll go get the doctor."

Bai's mother didn't know what to do after the tooth was extracted, so she could only ask a dentist to come to the hospital to see Bai Qiujing.

"If you pull it out, it won't grow back, but you can get dentures."

Bai Qiujing also woke up from his trance at this time. Looking at his mother who looked worried, he grabbed her hand and said, "Don't worry, Mom. I've wanted to remove these two canine teeth for a long time. They affect my filming. I can just get dentures instead. It won't affect anything."

Bai Qiujing's two canine teeth are his trademark. Although he is in his thirties, when he smiles, his canine teeth are exposed and he looks like a man in his twenties.

His fans all like to see him smile, saying that it has the sunny flavor of a young boy. But now, one of his neat and beautiful white teeth is missing, and his mouth is full of blood, which is glaring no matter how you look at it.

Bai Qiujing didn't want to say anything. Stitches were put into his gums. The dentist prescribed some medicine, reminded him of some precautions, and then left with his bag.

Bai's mother had originally wanted to nourish Bai Qiujing's body, but now that he has lost his teeth, he can't eat those things.

"Don't do anything stupid. If you want to have a tooth pulled, go to the hospital."

"Okay, I understand."

Bai's mother was worried about Bai Qiujing because he was so obedient. She would watch him whenever she had nothing to do. If she was not at home, she would ask the maid to look after him.

Now, whenever Bai Qiujing holds a nail clipper, his mother gets scared.

……….

Bai Qiujing knew that he had fallen into Li Jingshen's psychological tactics, but he also knew clearly which of Li Jingshen's words were true and which were false.

That "Bai Qiu" was like the white moonlight to Shen Zhichu, staying in the most beautiful place in her memory. He had no way to replace his position, nor was he willing to be a substitute, so he pulled out his teeth, so that Shen Zhichu might not think of "Bai Qiu" anymore when she saw his mouth.

…….

When Shen Zhichu returned to the company headquarters, the secretary came down to greet him personally: "Mr. Shen."

"how are things?"

"The company has been the target of many malicious reports, especially today, but the impact hasn't been significant. Xia Yanyue has been coming to the company these past few days asking to see you."

"Are you here today?" Shen Zhichu asked.

"No."

"That should be soon."
