Chapter 20: If You've Got the guts, Kill Me!

"sorry."

"The bus does not accept your apology."

He laughed.

Xu Si'an was amused by her: "Four years have passed, and your tongue has become even sharper."

"It's just that my kissing skills have deteriorated."

Qiao Xu slapped him lightly on the mouth: "Don't be so foul-mouthed. My home security camera recorded that you forcibly kissed me. I can call the police."

Xu Si'an chuckled and said, "Go ahead and report it. Let the police judge. What's wrong with me kissing my girlfriend?"

“I’m not your girlfriend. Since you’re engaged, you should uphold traditional male virtues.”

"When did I get engaged? You arranged it for me."

"Your mom ordered it."

Xu Si'an was amused by her pouting expression, and the panic in his heart gradually subsided.

"Why are you swearing?"

Qiao Xu lowered her head and didn't look at him: "I didn't scold him."

Xu Si'an, with his long legs, quickly walked back to the company gate and put her in the passenger seat: "I haven't settled the score with you for what happened four years ago when I met my mother."

"Fine, you son of a bitch~~~ Ugh—"

As soon as his lips parted, Xu Si'an was unsurprisingly slapped.

He chuckled softly, "One more kiss."

This time, he held her head down and kissed her deeply, his tongue entwining and probing inside, almost suffocating Qiao Xu.

Qiao Xu pounded on him with the force she wanted to kill him, but all she got in return was a deeper and heavier grinding from the man.

Xu Si'an recoiled in pain, the sound of the slap echoing in the car.

"You filthy scoundrel."

Xu Si'an pinched her cheek: "Want another kiss?"

After he got into the car, Qiao Xu ordered him fiercely, "Take me home."

"Go to the hospital for a checkup."

"Open the door, I want to get off."

Xu Si'an tilted his head and warned, "Behave yourself, don't force me to do it to you in the car."

Qiao Xu: ...

"Go ahead and do it. If you're so capable, then kill me."

That bastard is killing me! It's not that he was chasing her and she fell down, it's that he's possessed by a ghost, he won't leave!

"Take me home, or if I become disabled after jumping out of the car, then take me to the hospital."

"Choose one of the two."

Xu Si'an was so angry that his head throbbed several times, and he turned the steering wheel and made a U-turn.

A black Porsche pulled up to the entrance of the underground parking garage of Qiao Xu's apartment building. After license plate recognition, the machine announced, "Welcome home."

Qiao Xu turned her gaze back from the window: "You have a house here?"

"I don't know, maybe."

He parked the car downstairs at Building 16 with practiced ease.

Qiao Xu was 100% certain that he did have a house here, otherwise why would he have found a place so easily?

When she first moved here, she often took the wrong turn.

"Thank you for taking me home. You can go now."

Xu Si'an unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car, then carried the limping man on his shoulder into the elevator.

"Xu Si'an, you're being a jerk again. Put me down."

He lightly pinched her buttock with his large hand, and Qiao Xu's ears turned red with anger.

"You're being a pervert."

"Don't swear."

Qiao Xu leaned on his shoulder, kicking him restlessly with her legs.

Xu Si'an pressed down on her leg: "Where should I kick?"

"If you break Xu Xiaoer, you'll have to pay me back yourself."

The elevator stopped on the eighth floor, and Qiao Xu glanced at the apartment next to hers.

New neighbors? They've even changed the doors.

"Put me down."

That's insane. I haven't seen her in years and she's so rude to people. She's not even human, why did you have to carry her?

"password."

"I don't know, I've forgotten."

Xu Si'an smiled and said, "Okay."

He carried her around and went to press the elevator button again: "Hey, why are you putting me down? Xu Si'an, can't you have some self-awareness as an ex?"

"Fingerprint, fingerprint can open it."

Xu Si'an carried her back to the doorway.

Qiao Xu was so angry she gritted her teeth: "Can you put me down?"

Which finger?

She didn't speak, and Xu Si'an pulled her right hand and pressed her index finger onto the fingerprint recognition area.

He entered the house after the door opened, and the motion-sensor light turned on.

He took off his shoes, walked to the sofa, put her down, and opened his coffee table drawer.

"Xu Si'an, don't touch my things."

"A proper ex should be like they're dead. For the sake of the love we once shared, I don't expect you to turn to ashes, but I beg you to stay away from me."

Xu Si'an took out all the medicines in the drawer and checked their expiration dates. At the very back of the drawer, he found a spray that had expired two years ago.

He took out his phone from his pocket and ordered a dose of all the medicines he usually kept on hand.

Then throw all the expired ones into the trash can.

It was quite a coincidence that the only things left that hadn't expired were the fever reducers and cold medicines that Xu Si'an had bought some time ago, and the cold medicine powder that Qiao Xu had ordered herself.

"Why did you throw my things?"

Xu Si'an took off his suit jacket and unbuttoned his shirt cuffs.

"The product has expired."

"None of your business, get out."

Qiao Xu picked up a hair clip from the corner of the sofa and clipped her hair up.

As I prepared to roll up her trouser leg to check the wound, I placed a glass of water in front of her.

The man crouched down: "Don't move, you're being clumsy."

Qiao Xu dodged his hand: "Xu Si'an, you've passed..."

"I am not qualified."

His deep, husky voice gently lifted her trouser leg: "I'll leave after I apply the medicine for you. You were injured because of me."

Qiao Xu slapped his hand away: "It's good that you know."

"Okay, I'll treat this as a work injury."

The trousers were rolled up to the knees, and the delicate skin was scraped raw, with beads of blood still wet.

Xu Si'an frowned, picked him up, and carried him to the room.

"What are you doing? Put me down, Xu Si'an, don't make me slap you."

His cheek still bore the slap mark from the car earlier, and it was a little swollen.

"Whatever, you've slapped me quite a few times too."

After we started dating and I lost my virginity, he would slap me several times every night.

Humans are just perverse; after getting used to being slapped for less than four years, he suddenly gets slapped again, and he even seems to reminisce about it.

He placed her on the edge of the bed and took her into her bathroom.

"What are you doing? Get out."

Xu Si'an searched around the house and finally found a small round stool on the balcony, which he took into the bathroom.

"Go take a shower, and don't get the wound wet."

Qiao Xu remained seated, pointing to the bedroom door: "Get out."

Xu Si'an was silent for two seconds: "I'll help you wash."

Qiao Xu was truly terrified; only such a shameless bastard could do something like that.

"You can leave now, I'll wash myself."

He stood still, so Qiao Xu simply ignored him, opened the wardrobe, took out a nightgown and shorts, and went into the bathroom.

Even after closing the door, they didn't forget to lock it from the inside.

Xu Si'an chuckled softly. Was it really necessary to treat him like a thief?

She was someone he had never met or kissed before.

Xu Si'an only left the room after he heard the sound of water running in the bathroom.

He took out a cigarette from his pocket, but after searching for a while, he couldn't find a lighter.

He opened another drawer on the coffee table. Qiao Xu was smoking; there must be a lighter in the house.

only······

Besides the lighter, there was also a pack of Hyunhyeom.

Xu Si'an's hand, holding the lighter, froze, as if he were desperately resisting the reality.

He held the cigarette in his hand, took one out, put it in his mouth, and lit it.

Tasteless?

If I've only smoked one cigarette from this pack, does that mean it wasn't that man's?
