Chapter 119

In her drowsiness, Jiang Qiao seemed to hear voices talking. The smell of disinfectant was pungent, and her eyelids felt heavy. She felt that her whole body was burning.

The cold liquid was transported into her body through the back of her hand, and her frown finally relaxed a little.

"Mr. Lu, Miss Jiang's health is not very good. You can't just think about yourself like this."

The female doctor packed up the medical waste from the IV drip, her tone somewhat serious. She was over 40 years old and had seen a lot.

Situations like today are all too common in the circles of the rich.

The girl on the bed looked pale, with not a single patch of healthy skin on her body. When she was getting an IV drip, she saw a circle of red marks on the girl's wrist, and her heart skipped a beat.

How could I bear to give up such a beautiful girl when I hold her in my hands and cherish her so much?

“Yes.” Lu Xun’s eyes were fixed on the girl’s slightly pale face. “Thank you, Doctor Peng. I’ll have someone take you back.”

The man's tone was polite and distant. The female doctor didn't hear much regret or heartache in his voice. She sighed silently.

She wanted to say a few more words, but she knew she was just an insignificant person, so she had to leave.

There was a drizzle outside the window. Perhaps the strong wind last night was a sign of things to come.

Lu Xun made a phone call, briefly explained some things and hung up.

He stared at the raindrops sliding down the glass, overlapping with the dripping liquid in the transparent infusion tube.

Drop…drop…drop

An unknown amount of time had passed before he slowly raised his hand to his chest. Through his clothes, he could feel his heart beating strongly, mechanically, and smoothly under his palm.

Should it hurt? Why shouldn't it hurt? Lu Xun asked himself silently, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

On the bed, the girl quietly closed her eyes, her long eyelashes still wet, her thin eyelids were red and swollen, and her lips were red and swollen from biting.

There were deep teeth marks on her fair and slender neck, and her delicate wrists were broken and bleeding...

There is no love, so there is no heartache. Desire takes over and dominates reason. He just does what he wants.

Perhaps he had wanted to do this a long time ago, with a brutal, morbid, unbearable possessiveness...

At that time, "heartache" and "love" suppressed his nature, and he warned himself all the time - no, I can't, don't be crazy, his Jiang Xiaoqiao will not like it.

Now that the love has "disappeared", he thought he could control himself and pretend to be the same as before, but the facts prove that - he can't.

Last night was the best example, he went too far.

He hated Jiang Qiao's struggle. He didn't want to hear her crying, didn't want to see her eyes, and didn't want to see her wounds. That would make him... very upset.

So he covered the girl's eyes and tied her wrists. It was great that he could finally do whatever he wanted.

The heart is still beating mechanically, seemingly never stopping.

Lu Xun reacted slowly and went to get the disinfectant and ointment left by the female doctor.

The cotton swab rolled in the disinfectant and gently touched the wound on the neck. The girl shrank in pain. Lu Xun moved even more gently.

He was often injured when he was young. At the end of the old alley, there was a small medical clinic. The proprietress was a middle-aged woman with a hot temper, but she was very gentle when applying medicine.

Gently roll the cotton swab forward on the wound, only in one direction, not back and forth. The boss lady said that this can relieve the pain.

Lu Xun imitated the boss lady's technique and rolled the cotton swab gently and slowly. His movements were difficult and it took him nearly ten minutes to apply one "tooth mark".

Then there was a circle of redness and swelling on both wrists. It took half an hour to heal it all.

Lu Xun still held the girl's hand, with his eyelids drooping, staring quietly at the cold liquid sliding through the infusion tube into the back of the girl's hand, without moving for a long time.

The phone screen lit up and a message came in, and he slowly moved his eyes.

*

Song Qingying had a nightmare. In the dream, she was the one thrown into the sea at the wedding of the century. Not far away, the man had cold eyes without a trace of emotion, which made people terrified at the sight of him.

The feeling of drowning was too real, the salty and cold sea water poured into my mouth, nose and ears, and the world lost its color...

Song Qingying was frightened awake and sat up panting. Suddenly, she heard a buzzing in her ears and felt dizzy. She almost fell off the bed.

Where is she?

Her last impression was injecting the injection given by Jiang Chao into Lu Xun's body, and then she remembered nothing.

Jiang Chao said that it was a newly developed drug that could reverse people's emotions, making the more they loved, the more unfamiliar they became.

So, she succeeded?

Song Qingying's eyes flashed with excitement, and she couldn't help laughing. Then she thought of something else, and hurriedly got out of bed and shouted, "Brother Jiang, I——"

The house was empty. Song Qingying stopped talking and looked at the clock on the wall. It turned out that she had been unconscious all night.

Brother Jiang should be going to the company, she thought, and at the same time she felt a little uncomfortable.

She was in this state, but Brother Jiang didn't stay by her side.

Accustomed to Jiang Chao's gentleness and consideration, Song Qingying found it hard to accept at first, but her discomfort was soon dispelled by the fact that "Lu Xun would forget Jiang Qiao".

Song Qingying really wanted to go see Lu Xun right now, but she looked haggard in the mirror, and her pretty face had lost some color.

Jiang Qiao's beautiful, delicate face flashed through her mind, and jealousy grew wildly in her eyes.

A beautiful, vicious and stupid vase could make Lu Xun miss her for so many years.

But it doesn't matter. Song Qingying smiled and said she would turn everything back on track...

The two bottles of liquid medicine were quickly finished. Lu Xun disinfected his hands before gently pulling out the needle. He pressed the medical tape and quickly pulled out the needle without feeling much pain.

He glanced at the time and it was already ten o'clock in the morning. He thought for a moment and pushed open the bedroom door. When he went out, he subconsciously glanced at the girl on the bed. She was still quietly closing her eyes.

He closed the door gently, and the moment he closed the door, a white "shadow" slipped in from under his feet.

Lu Xun frowned, quickly bent over, picked up the agile kitten with one hand, and said in a cold voice: "Don't bother her."

"Meow meow meow! Meow meow meow!" You stupid human, who teased her!

Kitten 166 cried unwillingly, and suddenly smelled something on the man, and the cat's body froze: "…………………………"

The big cat's eyes were wide open, as if it had been frightened by something. The man frowned even more tightly, put it on the ground, and went downstairs indifferently.

Only when the man was out of sight did 166 come to his senses, and his entire body was covered in cat hair.
