Shen Zhichu loved him wholeheartedly for sixteen years, yet she was asked to leave empty-handed, just to make room for the "white moonlight" in his heart.
Li Jingshen thought he would...
Chapter 846 A Small Punishment
I have to say that Li Jinxing really understood Gu Wanqiu. With just one sentence, he was able to extinguish most of Gu Wanqiu's anger.
"I hope you will do what you say." She was inexplicably angry. She didn't even know that she would be so angry when she saw Li Jinxing and Ji Ran standing together and arguing.
It was already good enough that Gu Wanqiu's anger could be quenched by half. At least it wouldn't be like three years ago when he had to strip naked and stand outside for her to draw.
Li Jinxing lowered his head and looked at the medicine on the ground: "This medicine..." is for reducing redness and swelling, and it was obviously prepared for him by Gu Wanqiu.
Didn't she remember to buy medicine for Gong Qing when she went out to see him?
Li Jinxing sometimes felt that he was quite cheap, volunteering to be a dog. Just like Gu Wanqiu said, he had no memory, and there was no need to give him candy after slapping him. He would coax himself and then continue to wag his tail and circle around his master.
Gu Wanqiu picked it up and threw it into the trash can: "I wouldn't give it to you even if I threw it away!"
After saying that, she went upstairs without even looking at Li Jinxing.
Li Jinxing was still kneeling. He didn't dare to get up unless Gu Wanqiu called him. Looking at the medicine in the trash can, he hesitated for a moment, then knelt down and picked up the medicine from the trash can.
Butler Wang came over and said, "I think the young lady has vented her anger. You'd better get up."
Li Jinxing shook his head stubbornly: "I won't get up unless the young lady tells me to. Uncle Wang, please leave me alone. I'm afraid of implicating you."
Butler Wang sighed. He had thought that Gu Wanqiu would be in a good mood after seeing Gong Qing coming back, but he didn't expect her to be furious when she came back. No one dared to stand in front of her.
Li Jinxing knelt for forty minutes until his legs became numb and he lost all feeling.
My legs will be broken if I kneel for too long. The college entrance examination is coming soon. How can I take the exam if my legs are broken from kneeling?
Butler Wang watched Li Jinxing grow up. Besides, Li Jinxing was still under his name, so he was half his son. He went upstairs to plead for Li Jinxing.
"Standing at Gu Wanqiu's door and knocking on it: "Miss, have you rested?"
"No, come in."
Butler Wang pushed open the door and saw Gu Wanqiu still wearing the clothes she had worn when she came back. She had obviously not washed yet. She was sitting on the balcony of her bedroom, holding a sketchbook in her hand and drawing. The drawing still only contained a pair of eyebrows and eyes, which looked very much like Li Jinxing.
"Miss, Li Jinxing has been kneeling downstairs for almost an hour. If he keeps kneeling like this, I'm afraid his knees will get hurt."
Gu Wanqiu stopped writing and looked at the painting in her hand. After a while, she put it aside and said, "I'm a little hungry. Ask him to bring me something to eat."
"Okay, okay, okay." Butler Wang said okay three times, then went downstairs to help Li Jinxing who was kneeling on the ground.
Seeing that he still refused to get up, he quickly said, "The lady said she was hungry and asked you to bring some food up."
"Didn't she have dinner tonight?"
"I was in a bad mood, so I ate two bites and put it down."
"I understand." Li Jinxing stood up with the help of the strength of Butler Wang's arm. It was impossible to stand up all of a sudden after kneeling for so long. His body staggered, and the tingling sensation from his knees instantly spread to his legs, making him numb from head to toe, as if he was electrocuted.
Unable to stand steadily for a while, Li Jinxing sat on the sofa.
Butler Wang asked with concern, "Is your leg okay?"
Li Jinxing shook his head: "It's okay." He massaged his knees with his hands and asked as he did so.
"Is there anything else to eat in the kitchen?"
"There's still a lot left from dinner. I wonder if we can heat up some food or make some noodles or wontons for the young lady?"
Li Jinxing rejected all of them. First, Gu Wanqiu didn't like to eat leftovers. Second, Gu Wanqiu paid great attention to body management. She would not eat too much so late. She thought eating noodles and wontons would easily make her fat.
Li Jin moved his ankle to make sure he could stand up and walk, then he supported himself on the sofa and staggered towards the kitchen: "I'll do it myself."
Butler Wang did not stop him. After being together for so long, Li Jinxing knew Gu Wanqiu very well. Now Gu Wanqiu was still angry. The midnight snack made by Li Jinxing himself might make Gu Wanqiu take a few more glances and even feel better.
Li Jinxing opened the refrigerator and selected some fresh fruits to make a fruit salad. The portion was small and suitable for Gu Wanqiu. He simply made a beautiful presentation, which made people feel hungry just by looking at it.
After watching, Butler Wang nodded in satisfaction and told him, "Talk to her properly when you get upstairs later, and don't upset the young lady."
"I never thought of making her unhappy." Li Jinxing whispered this, as if talking to himself. He climbed the stairs with the fruit basket in his hand, his legs obviously trembling.
When he reached the door, he knocked and waited for an echo before pushing the door open.
"Miss."
When Li Jinxing walked in, he saw the painting that Gu Wanqiu had casually thrown on the ground. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and he found that Gu Wanqiu seemed to particularly like drawing his eyebrows and eyes, and even when she was angry with him, she would draw him in the bedroom.
Gu Wanqiu didn't even look at the fruit in his hand and said, "Put it down and get out."
Li Jinxing obediently put the fruit on the table, but he didn't leave. He stood three meters away from Gu Wanqiu. The distance was neither far nor close, neither annoying nor intimate.
Seeing no movement behind him, Gu Wanqiu turned around, frowning impatiently: "Why are you standing there? What? Do you want to keep kneeling?"
"Miss..." Li Jinxing called Gu Wanqiu in a hoarse voice. His voice was very nice. Although he was a teenager, he had the flavor of a mature man. Especially when his voice was hoarse at this time, it was like a cello playing beside the ear, which made people feel refreshed.
Li Jinxing took out the bottle of spray from his trouser pocket that Gu Wanqiu had thrown into the trash can. "My back hurts a little where the basketball hit me today. Can you help me wipe it? I can't reach it."
Gu Wanqiu looked at the medicine in his hand and her heart beat faster. It was a very brief impulse that could easily be ignored.
She could have refused directly. After all, the anger from tonight had not completely subsided. Why should she apply medicine to Li Jinxing?
She opened her mouth and told Li Jinxing to leave her alone. If his back hurt, he could go to the doctor. If there was no medicine, he could go to Butler Wang. Why did he look for her? But just as she was about to speak, she met Li Jinxing's sparkling eyes, which looked at her beggingly like a pair of puppy eyes.
She suddenly softened her heart, and the words of refusal that she had originally wanted to say turned around in her mouth: "Take off your clothes."
Li Jinxing did not show any joy at Gu Wanqiu's agreement. He just obediently took off his shirt.
He has a good body. He is very thin when dressed and has muscles when undressed. He has eight abdominal muscles and two deep mermaid lines. These muscles are full of strength, and any more would be too heavy and any less would be too weak.
Li Jinxing held the clothes he took off in one hand, lowered his head, turned around and knelt down. The pain in his knees had not subsided yet, and now kneeling again, it felt like being pricked by needles.
