Chapter 61 Chapter 61 Eaten Alive
Along the way, Song Yucong kept talking, asking Tao Ning about the relationship between him and Zhao Jingqun. The answers he got were always "cousin", "just cousin", "no other relationship", etc.
Feeling the person holding him tremble slightly, Tao Ning tried to go along with him and not irritate him. By the time they arrived at the hospital, Song Yucong's condition had improved considerably. As he went in to have his wounds treated, he turned back and said fiercely, "You're not allowed to leave."
Tao Ning sat on the lounge chair outside and said "hmm".
But he didn't take any medicine when he came out and played in the water for a long time. Tao Ning leaned against the chair and suddenly felt cold all over. A chill ran from his toes to his head. He frowned, hugged himself tightly and fell asleep.
Consciousness sank from the coma into a chaotic darkness. All five senses seemed to vanish, and the surroundings were plunged into endless darkness. Tao Ning stood in the darkness and took a confused step forward.
......Where is this?
"510 is unconscious and unresponsive. Should it be sent to a landfill for destruction?"
"What a shame for this skin. It cost a fortune to create it."
"...Wait... Its heartbeat is fluctuating."
"interesting."
Who? Who is speaking?
The fear of the unknown, along with the coldness as if being in a world of ice and snow, came over Tao Ning. He felt it was difficult to breathe. The chaotic sounds in the darkness were suddenly dispersed by a burst of noise. He heard Song Yucong's roar, Zhao Jingqun's cold chuckle... and a familiar voice, which overlapped with the voice in the darkness.
......who is he?
Then who am I?
Tao Ning wanted to escape, the boundless darkness terrified him. He longed for a pair of eyes to see the road ahead. He trembled all over, cowering in the darkness. Then he fell into a warm embrace. Someone peeled off the clothes that clung to him. Then, a pair of dry lips, smelling of tobacco, reverently kissed his cheek.
The man held him and coaxed him: "I'm here, I'm here. Be good... Don't be afraid, dear."
Then she began to hum a nursery rhyme in her hoarse voice, holding him and rocking him like a rocking car. Tao Ning had heard that it was said that when a child had a nightmare, singing this nursery rhyme would dispel the nightmare and protect the child from being troubled by nightmares.
Tao Ning fell into a deep sleep amidst the gentle coaxing of soft voices. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Zhao Jingqun's slightly red eyes. Seeing that he woke up, she pulled at her tight collar and breathed a sigh of relief.
Before she could react, Tao Ning felt a rough hand scratch her forehead. Zhao Jingqun's face, without a smile, was sinister and fierce, as if he were being watched by a bloodthirsty lone wolf. He closed his eyes, probably knowing he looked menacing without a smile, and tried to appear gentler. But he was so furious that he couldn't muster a smile. He said sternly, "Tao Ning."
The young man whose name was called was completely unaware. He looked over blankly, his limbs weak and his head a little dizzy.
Seeing the boy like this, Zhao Jingqun's heart softened instantly. He could only blame himself for not keeping an eye on him, for letting him out of his sight. It was all his fault that the boy got sick. He sighed and gently stroked the boy's soft hair, his throat dry. "You had a fever of 39 degrees, and you almost scared your husband to death."
The man scratched Tao Ning's slightly damp nose again and said, "You can't play in the water anymore, understand?"
Only then did Tao Ning realize that one of her hands was always covered by Zhao Jingqun's broad palm, and there was an IV hanging on the back of that hand.
He uttered a blank "Oh" and surveyed the surroundings. It was furnished with everything, clean and bright, but it didn't feel like the Song family's. "This is a hospital," Zhao Jingqun answered his questions while bringing him a bowl of porridge. He scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and finally tested the temperature to make sure it wasn't scalding. Then he coaxed Tao Ning, "Baby, come here, have some porridge first."
Seeing Tao Ning open his mouth obediently, Zhao Jingqun's eyes darkened, and his heart softened as he fed him mouthful by mouthful.
It was a familiar taste. Tao Ning knew it was made by Zhao Jingqun himself after just one bite.
He ate very slowly, and Zhao Jingqun didn't rush him. He waited until Tao Ning finished, then leaned forward and delicately licked and kissed the corner of Tao Ning's lips. When he let him go, a magnetic smile rolled from his Adam's apple: "It seems my cooking skills have not diminished. This porridge is especially delicious."
Those wolf-like eyes looked at her with tenderness, and Tao Ning's cheeks turned slightly red.
Zhao Jingqun touched his forehead again. It wasn't as hot as it was at the beginning, but he was still worried. "Just wait here obediently. I'll go get the doctor."
It seems that the man will not give up on this matter with his cousin.
Tao Ning: "...Yeah."
He was kissed once, and the door just closed. Tao Ning then asked the system: [System, what are you doing?]
The system whined mechanically: [Idiot, they won't let me participate in the sunflower seed cracking competition.]
【Why? 】
【Because...I can't tell you.】
【Oh, who is the other system? 】
The system was confused: [How did you know there was another system, idiot?]
Tao Ning said: [Occasionally I hear a voice that is different from yours.]
The system hesitated: [That's actually my supervisor. He's afraid I might make mistakes, so he occasionally shows up.]
Tao Ning: [Oh.]
He didn't believe that things would be so simple, but asking the system probably wouldn't get him anything, so he could only wait and see.
In the corridor outside the door, Sun Lao Er pointed at dozens of boxes of supplements on the ground. Each one was a rare item, and he was at a loss as to what to do with it. Scratching his head, he asked the man who was kneading tobacco in front of him, "Mr. Zhao, these are sent by the second young master of the Song family. Should we take them away?"
"Lost it."
Throwing away the tobacco in his hand, Zhao Jingqun put his hands in his trouser pockets and was about to go find a doctor. Halfway there, he turned back. Sun Laoer stared in amazement as the man kicked the supplements hard. With a clang, all the bottled items in the box should have shattered.
Sun Lao Er was so furious that he could tell with his toes that it was related to Sister Tianxian. It seemed that the second young master of the Song family was not getting along with his own young master. But kicking the tonic was a mild act of venting his anger. If Sister Tianxian hadn't been found, Sun Lao Er didn't dare to think about it. Given his previous mood swings, he might have kicked the tonic or even hit someone, which would have been so serious that the police would probably be called.
After kicking more than a dozen boxes of supplements into pieces, Zhao Jingqun washed his hands, his jealousy subsided a little, and he went to see a doctor.
The doctor who arrived was a renowned veteran. He took Tao Ning's temperature, though the fever hadn't completely subsided, and gave her some precautions. Zhao Jingqun listened intently, his face devoid of any anger as he repeatedly said "yes." This man, known for his vicious and perverse ways outside, now meticulously took note of everything about Tao Ning.
Tao Ning had no room to interrupt. He watched the man talking to the old doctor with a smile on his face, and smelled a faint smell of cigarettes on him. It was not strong, but very light, and did not seem to be caused by smoking.
After the old doctor left, Tao Ning brought a spoonful of hot water to his lips. He drank it and asked him, "Are you still smoking?"
Zhao Jingqun kept feeding him water. "I couldn't sleep after you left, so I had to rely on those cigarettes." He smiled and said, "Cousin, do you want to care about your cousin smoking?"
Tao Ning pursed her lips and refused to drink.
Zhao Jingqun was almost helpless with anger at this lawless little darling. It was clearly he who called him cousin first, and he had endured this title silently without saying anything about the grievance. But this darling was so domineering that the officials were allowed to set fires but the people were not allowed to light lamps. He would get angry with him if he was teased a little.
There was nothing Zhao Jingqun could do about Tao Ning. He kissed the corner of his lips and coaxed him: "Smell it, there's no smell of cigarettes in your mouth. I don't smoke anymore. I just watch, not smoke." Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Zhao Jingqun quickly took off his clothes. He hugged Tao Ning in his arms and let him sit on him. "After finding you, I've stopped smoking even more. Why would I smoke when I have you? Just give you a kiss and it will be fine."
He'd been smoking for over a decade, and it had become a habit. Even when he wasn't smoking, he'd always smelled faintly of cigarettes. He'd consulted a doctor, and it wasn't a major problem. Tao Ning's smell made her cough, so he'd already quit. It was just that Tao Ning wasn't around during that time, and Zhao Jingqun couldn't bear it any longer. He relied on nicotine to numb himself and get through it.
After all the hard work, he finally found his treasure.
As he spoke, Zhao Jingqun kissed the boy again. The boy was very well behaved in his arms. His eyes with thick eyelashes just glanced at him lightly, and Zhao Jingqun's soul was immediately hooked away. Basically, whatever the boy said was what he got. Even if he wanted his life, Zhao Jingqun could give it to him immediately.
But there was one more important thing. Zhao Jingqun took a deep breath to calm himself down, then asked with a serious face, "What's your relationship with Song Yucong?"
“…”
Tao Ning raised her head and wanted to kiss him, but Zhao Jingqun covered his mouth with his hand with difficulty, silently repeating in his heart that beauty is emptiness and emptiness is beauty, and he should not be tempted by beauty. This precious boy had been strolling outside and was no longer a little wooden man, but a deceitful little vixen.
Even though somewhere in him he was so hard that it was about to explode.
Tao Ning moved his hand away and said calmly, "He's just my sponsor. He...he's helped me a lot. He's just a friend."
Zhao Jingqun looked confused. Could it be Song Yucong who had sent him a message from Tao Ning's phone? Just looking at Song Yucong's idiotic expression, he knew it wasn't him. But he had no other options. After all, in the two months since he'd seen Tao Ning, he hadn't been able to stop her from making friends, nor had he been able to stop others from approaching her.
But he was still jealous enough to want to kill the boiled chicken.
Zhao Jingqun knew he was sick. He had an almost perverted possessiveness and control over Tao Ning. He once thought about finding Tao Ning and completely imprisoning him, leaving Tao Ning with only him in her life. But he also knew that this was wrong. How could Lemon, who grew up freely in the mountains, willingly be a caged bird?
Let's just believe that they are just friends, Zhao Jingqun comforted himself, "...What about the glasses my husband gave you?" The last remaining possessiveness was that he hoped Tao Ning's beauty could be covered up a little more, and he didn't want anyone except him to see Tao Ning's beauty.
Tao Ning said truthfully: "I left it at the Song family."
Zhao Jingqun asked again: "Where's your cell phone?"
“At school.”
Zhao Jingqun seemed to be thinking about something. "Daibao, I want to discuss two things with you."
"Um."
"Your husband will not interfere with your studies this year for the time being. After all, this is a big deal for you. But after a year, you must go abroad with me immediately for surgery. I have replaced all your medicines with the best ones at home and abroad. They will arrive tomorrow." Zhao Jingqun's tone was slightly deep, and her fingertips gently stroked his soft cheek.
"......Um."
Tao Ning agreed.
"One more thing. Daibao, why don't you switch to a day student?" Zhao Jingqun said. "I'm worried you won't have enough to eat or drink at school, so I bought a house near your school so I can take care of you on your way to and from school. How about that? Hmm?"
Tao Ning was silent, because there was still Xu Jun in the school. So far, he had made no progress in his efforts to win over Xu Jun. At present, it seemed that Xu Jun only treated him as a friend, and he didn't know what to do.
After thinking about it, Tao Ning chose a compromise, "I will go back with you from Monday to Friday, and I will study in school on weekends." It was true that he would study, but he would study with Xu Jun.
Zhao Jingqun argued, "The house I bought has excellent sound insulation, so it won't interfere with my studies. Please come back on weekends."
Those watery eyes looked at him without saying a word.
Zhao Jingqun's willpower lasted less than three seconds before he gave way, but he had to get some compensation, so he grabbed the back of the boy's head and kissed him hard.
The veins on his palms bulged, and he coaxed Tao Ning in a hoarse voice: "...Be good, call me husband."
"Husband."
The boy in his arms was crying a little. Zhao Jingqun took a deep breath, barely letting him breathe. He licked the saliva from the corner of his mouth and continued to plunder the fragrance between his lips and teeth. His tongue almost drilled into his throat, repeatedly pumping, licking and kissing. Hearing the boy's faint cry, Zhao Jingqun's eyes were extremely terrifying. He clasped his slender hand with his backhand, not allowing him to move or struggle.
Anyone who saw it could sense that the man wanted to eat the boy alive.
Finally, fearing that Tao Ning's emotional instability would worsen her condition, Zhao Jingqun gasped, his eyes bloodshot, his voice hoarse as rough gravel: "Be good, wait for your husband here." He did not hide his desire for Tao Ning at all, but he felt uncomfortable walking, so he grabbed his pants and went to the bathroom.
In the bathroom, Zhao Jingqun was holding a piece of cloth printed with Ultraman in his mouth, holding Tao Ning's photo in one hand, rubbing the boy's rosy lips in the light with his fingertips, and squinting his eyes as if in pain.
More than fifty minutes later, Zhao Jingqun came out with a cool mist on his body. Tao Ning had already fallen asleep. He stared at his sleeping profile for a long time, almost obsessively. He took out a box and opened it. Inside was a mechanical watch worth millions.
After warming up the mechanical watch, Zhao Jingqun put it on Tao Ning. It was both a gift and a tracker. It was waterproof, fireproof and explosion-proof, and could send him Tao Ning's location at any time.
He must know where Tao Ning is at all times in order to sleep peacefully.
