Chapter 154 Is it only bad to me?

Ruan Yi was unable to respond to such a weighty request.

As their lips intertwined, she could only let soft, delicate sobs escape from the corners of their pressed mouths.

A slight bitterness slid in through her lips, and she couldn't tell if it was her own unstoppable tears or his.

Seeing her tears, the painful questioning churning in the man's chest was instantly replaced by heartache and regret.

He regretted his forceful questioning, and even more so, he regretted biting her lip and hurting her.

He loosened his grip on her waist, gently brushing his fingertips across the girl's flushed cheeks, kissing her more lightly, and carefully licking the bitten skin on her lips.

He should apologize, he should say he shouldn't have been mean to her, and he shouldn't have hurt her.

But when the man thought about how his death might be like... she saw a dog on the roadside and wanted to take it home to raise, but missed the opportunity for some reason.

Later, when the dog died, she felt sympathy and sadness for its passing, but that was all.

Ruan Yi had just recovered from the man's painful questioning when she noticed his change in attitude, but she only felt more uneasy.

She spoke first, her voice still choked with emotion: "Fu Wang, why didn't you tell me? I really thought... I would never see you again."

The man stopped his gentle licking and caressing of her lips. In the darkness, only a sliver of light leaked in through the crack in the door and behind the curtains. He stared intently at Ruan Yi, the crimson in his eyes still lingering.

"Are you playing me again?"

“I really didn’t play a trick on you…” Ruan Yi’s fingertips gripped his collar tightly. “I even went to your…” Her flustered attempt to prove herself was interrupted by the man.

"Yes, you will be sad because I died." The man's voice was deep and almost hoarse.

"But you can turn around and testify for the murderer, and most importantly—you won't break up with him!"

"He's your boyfriend, so in your heart... I'm just a dog that follows you around to amuse you? So, it doesn't matter if I die."

Such self-deprecating words made Ruan Yi, who was already filled with guilt, feel even more bitter. She immediately reached out and covered his mouth, and tears welled up again.

"Don't say that... I didn't think that way, I really didn't." She choked up, her fingertips trembling slightly.

“Nobody knew things would turn out this way. If he really is a irrational murderer… I will not testify in court.”

She took a deep breath and poured out her explanation.

“I wasn’t intentionally speaking up for Fu Jingchen, but he was also provoked and misled by others, which led him to make a mistake. This is also my fault; I shouldn’t have tried to prove anything in that way…”

"But no matter what, you're the one who got hurt. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

She lowered her head to kiss the corner of the man's eye, and when her lips touched that skin, she realized that she wasn't the only one crying.

"Bewitched? He really knows how to make excuses for himself." Fu Wang tightened his grip on her waist, his tone full of sarcasm.

"A person who is incapable of murder and arson will not act no matter how much they are incited—the person being threatened with a gun to their head is not him, it is me."

Ruan Yi was speechless, feeling utterly helpless. She bit her lip, her voice soft and weak, as if she was about to cry again.

"He's definitely wrong, but he's not the one who really wanted all of this to happen. The person who orchestrated it behind the scenes has already admitted it..."

Fu Wang was silent for two seconds, and when he spoke again, the sarcasm in his tone was almost overflowing, "Is this the kind of evasive excuse he gave you?"

"It wasn't him who said it, I found out..."

Fu Wang's voice suddenly turned cold, "And what about last time?"

He stared at Ruan Yi, his eyes swirling with complex emotions.

"When I was just pretending to be your boyfriend to help you, Fu Jingchen tried to kill me in the car accident. What excuse could he possibly have?"

Ruan Yi froze instantly, her eyes filled with disbelief and shock. "What are you saying? The car accident... was it him?"

Memories of the past, weighed down by self-blame, surged up. She thought she had done something wrong, which led to the innocent Fu Wang being killed in a car accident. She was so guilty that she almost went insane.

Was it all a scheme from that time on?

Sensing Ruan Yi's trembling, the man softened his grip, gently stroking her back with his palm.

"At first, I also thought it was an accident, since the murderer was a drunken desperado, and I thought it was just an innocent disaster."

He hadn't offended anyone, and he'd never even considered murder.

"It was only after this incident that I began to have doubts. And then, just when I was pretending to be your boyfriend, I got into a car accident and was sent to a place so far away from you."

Fu Wang ran his fingertip across her reddened eyes, his voice deepening: "I've already found out. The murderer's wife and children abroad received a sum of money, which they deposited into their account six months later. The domestic police had no way to investigate."

Ruan Yi was so shocked that her chest heaved.

“He wanted to kill me a long time ago.”

When Fu Wang told her the truth, he still carefully protected her emotions. He tightened his arms, making her press closer to him, and gently stroked the back of her neck with his palm.

Even if you were deceived by him, even if you want to distance yourself from me and push me far away.

The man's nose brushed against her sweaty forehead, his tone filled with undisguised affection.

"We will get closer to each other again."

Before Ruan Yi could respond, Fu Wang gently kissed the corner of her lips again, carefully avoiding her reddened wound.

Her tears fell onto their skin as they pressed together, but the man didn't stop, his ears turning red as he whispered softly in their kiss.

"You bad woman, why do you see me as a dog, as a son?"

"Or do you just want to hear me call you—Master?"

"Or, should I call you...Mom?"

The man researched this and realized that some girls seemed to like these nicknames, which led to a complete misunderstanding.

Ruan Yi froze, forgetting even to shed tears. The next second, her cheeks burned intensely.

She shook her head frantically, her voice still choked with tears, trying to quickly clarify that she didn't have this fetish, "I didn't..."

"Yes, I said yes."

The man didn't give her a chance to continue speaking; he gripped the back of her neck with his palm, preventing her from escaping.

"You can call me whatever you want."

"If you're going to be bad, be bad only to me..."

Shame and confusion enveloped Ruan Yi.

As she listened to the man's pleas, all her preconceived notions were overturned. Her rational and steady boyfriend had truly committed murder time and time again because of her.

Whatever the reason, such feelings are horribly morbid.

Ruan Yi's mind felt like it was stuffed with a tangled ball of yarn. What should she do now?

A boyfriend who would never break up with her; a fiancé who is getting ready for his wedding; a younger brother who has had impure thoughts for over a decade; a mentally ill man who would do anything to get her to sleep with him.

And the man in front of me, who used to be so innocent that he would blush at the slightest touch, has now gradually strayed into some strange corners.

She's really lucky; it's like five top-notch-looking blind boxes fell from the sky, but their contents are unknown.

She couldn't resist her curiosity and opened them one by one, only to discover that each one was a rare, collector's item.

They all come with super glue, so once they stick, you can't shake them off.

The man's features overlapped repeatedly in front of her, so chaotic that her eyes were blurry.

Only one clear wail remained in my muddled mind.

What should I do if I'm surrounded by perverts?!

Ruan Yisheng leaned against the man's shoulder with a look of utter despair. "Fu Wang, put me down first."

Fu Wang's arm didn't loosen; instead, he tightened it even more, his voice deep and hoarse, revealing his barely concealed nervousness.

"Are you leaving? To find Fu Jingchen?"

Ruan Yi lowered her eyes, remained silent for a few seconds, and then gently shook her head. "No."

"Now you know what kind of person he is..." He softened his tone, but couldn't hide his expectation, "How about breaking up with him?"

Ruan Yi bit her lip, feeling that the other party was pressuring her to resolve the issue quickly, and the grievances she had suppressed before surged up again.

She blinked halfway, tears welling up in her eyes, looking like she was about to cry but couldn't.

The man froze instantly upon seeing her like this, all his previous assertiveness vanished, leaving only panic.

He hurriedly raised his hand to pat her back, his movements so gentle it was as if he were afraid of breaking her, and his tone was urgent.

"No, I wasn't rushing you."

But after a pause, she couldn't help but add in a serious, low voice, "But you're afraid of people like that, aren't you?"

“You can’t have a boyfriend like that…” Fu Wang actually tried to persuade her in a tone of educating a child.

"Then I'm afraid of you!" Ruan Yi looked up, her eyes red and accusing.

"You kissed me so fiercely just now, and you even bit me."

The man froze completely, the color draining from his face, leaving only regret.

How could he have actually bitten her? Now, he's even being labeled the bad guy.

He opened his mouth, his voice muffled, like a child who had done something wrong: "I...I hadn't seen you for a long time, and you were in court as a witness...I just couldn't control myself."

"They're almost the same, but so fierce." Ruan Yi sobbed softly, her voice low and aggrieved.

"It's not the same at all!" Fu Wang's voice suddenly rose, then immediately fell back down.

Although she couldn't see his face in the darkness, Ruan Yi could clearly feel the burning heat emanating from the man's body.

"Then I'll be your boyfriend. You'll see when you're with me. It's completely different. I'm not that kind of person..."

The scalding temperature and flustered tone were no longer like the out-of-control person she had been just now; instead, she still retained her former shy nature, which made Ruan Yi breathe a huge sigh of relief.

I must have been really crazy about kissing just now and lost my temper, at least I didn't "turn into" something weird.

But how could she agree? She had a fiancé waiting for her at home, and her relationship status was already complicated enough.

Ruan Yi sniffed and gently pushed his chest.

"Let me think it over... I don't know right now."

Fu Wang's body stiffened visibly for a moment, and his arms loosened slightly in disappointment, but he quickly wrapped them around her again.

There was a hint of urgency in his voice, but he didn't dare to press her any further. He could only bury his head in the crook of her neck and mutter softly.

"You bad woman, why is it so hard to make you take responsibility?"

The voice was too soft; Ruan Yi only caught a few indistinct words. She frowned and asked, "What did you say?"

Fu Wang immediately straightened up, as if what she had just seen was merely her imagination: "No, no..."

I told you I'd wait for you to think it over, no matter how long it took.
