The girl on the bed felt her legs go weak, her eyes red and swollen, and she spoke tremblingly, "Baru, please let me go, I beg you. It won't hurt you anything if you let me go."
"You are wrong, Nan Xiaoxi, you are not me." The man stood up, and his tall and strong body blocked the hazy light coming in from the window.
Nanxi was completely shrouded in a cold and dark shadow.
"If you're so angry, just shoot me. Why are you torturing me? Why? What did I do that you're doing this to me?"
"I'm a soldier, a gangster, Nan Xiaoxi, don't try to reason with me. I've been carrying a gun to make a living since I was eight years old. No one taught me to be a good person, no one taught me about retribution.
I won't kill you because I can't do it, but I don't want to love you anymore. It's too painful. The best way is for you to go where you should go, and I will be my own gangster soldier.
Don't expect me to send you back to Mandalay. If you want to distance yourself from me, you should know that I am not a good person and I don't know how to show mercy."
The phone in Baru's pocket rang again. The surroundings were horribly quiet. Nanxi clearly heard the voice on the other end of the phone, "The driver has already driven over and will be here in about ten minutes."
She didn't know when it started, but Balu started speaking Chinese, and everyone around him also spoke Chinese. She finally believed that he was serious and was not trying to scare her or threaten her.
Yes, he has never been a person who would bluff, and he always does what he says.
Besides, he had his own pride and didn't bother to threaten a woman. If he said he would send her there, it wouldn't be just talk.
"Nan Xiaoxi, put this on, someone will come to take you away later." Baru walked calmly to the wicker cabinet in the corner, took out a set of goose yellow sportswear from a pile of bags, and threw it on the bed.
He had prepared these things in advance. He had originally planned to take her out for a few days to relax after the wedding, but now they were no longer needed.
The man lay on his back, closed his red eyes, and tried hard to force away the soreness in his eyes. He unbuttoned the delicate gem-inlaid gold buttons below his Adam's apple, one by one.
It was obviously a simple action, but it made the strong and resolute man's fingers numb, his arms felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds, and his whole body was shaking.
Nanxi finally realized what she was thinking. It had come to this point, she had no way out, she was at the end of her rope. Why on earth would she provoke him and send herself into a deeper hell?
Being with Balu, at least she wouldn't be humiliated, wouldn't be injected with poison, wouldn't be abused day and night by different men, wouldn't get any diseases. Why should she be carried away by that damn pride and self-esteem and bring herself to no return?
You clearly know that this man is soft-hearted and will wait for the future with just a few nice words. Why are you in such a hurry?
She never knew that her habit of being too picky was so terrible.
"I was wrong, Baru, I'm sorry..."
The moment she figured it out, she raised her tearful eyes and apologized softly.
The man who finally unbuttoned the last button pulled his mouth slightly to one side, gnashed his teeth, took off his shirt, and threw it to the ground.
"It's too late! Nan Xiaoxi, I told you there won't be a next time."
He was so angry that his chest was shaking violently. He took out a black T-shirt from another bag and put it on.
The moment the clothes were put on her head, she was hugged tightly by a naked, warm and slender body from behind. Nanxi threw herself off the bed without caring about anything and begged pitifully,
"I'm just sulking with you...Baru..." She didn't know what excuse to find, and she knew she was spineless. But compared to being injected with a poison needle and turned into an animal, what was backbone?
She also knew that if she bowed her head, all the suffering she had endured in the past few days would be in vain, but she had to choose the lesser of two evils. She was just used to being willful and couldn't control her temper, but she was not really fearless.
"I don't want it, Nan Xiaoxi. Since you despise my feelings, I won't rush to give it to you to be abused. I'll take it back, and you can do as you please."
After he finished speaking, he pried open the girl's hands that were around her waist and was about to leave.
"Balu." Nanxi gritted her teeth and spoke with red eyes.
"I admit that I have a bad temper, am willful and spoiled, but that's just me. If you like me, you have to accept my shortcomings. I don't want you to withdraw your feelings just because I throw a tantrum.
I've only known you for a few days? How could you possibly accept such a huge change so easily? Is your affection worth so much? If it's so valuable, why don't you just stop showing it off to me? I didn't beg you to give it to me, and if you did, you wouldn't be able to handle it. Do you take all the good things for yourself?
If women aren't delicate and mutton isn't flirty, what's the fun in life? Even a good car consumes a lot of gas. As the eldest daughter of the Nan family, what's wrong with getting mad at my husband? He's just a little harder to coax. If you don't want to coax him, there are plenty of people who are willing.
You also said I'm pretty. Even if I end up in the red-light district, the worst that can happen is I can just make an old man happy and take me away. Two-legged frogs are hard to find, but three-legged men are plenty!"
She was so desperate that she didn't even stop for a breath. The more she spoke, the more she felt that she was right. After she finished speaking, she angrily pulled her clothes onto herself. Tears as big as beans fell on the back of her hands and she sobbed softly, just like a young wife who was bullied and wronged by her bastard husband.
"Nan Xiaoxi, there's no such a fuss as you."
Baru was so angry that his forehead was throbbing, but he also listened to her words.
What caught his eye at first sight was her angry and spoiled look. The Nan Xiaoxi lying half-dead in bed was not the wife he wanted.
He would rather she was like this, throwing a tantrum at him and getting angry at him.
The man who always kept his word and was decisive in killing just couldn't bear to be cruel to this little woman. He was obviously furious, but was coaxed into peace by her unexpected words.
Just like now, she was inexplicably coaxed into losing her temper by the word "her own man". She walked over in two steps and pulled the sports suit off her hand.
"How are you going to coax the old man? Huh? You have such a bad temper, can the old man bear it?"
"Didn't you want to take me there? Get out of here and don't waste my time." She was crying and turned her face away from him.
The two of them really felt like a young couple having a quarrel.
Looking at her aggrieved expression, Ba Lu laughed in anger, "Nan Xiaoxi, I'm really fucking in your hands."
He pulled the clothes from her hands, took the bra beside the bed and put it on her, "I give up, okay, ancestor, put on your clothes, don't delay the auspicious time."
Nanxi didn't dare to make trouble anymore, but she still held her breath in her chest, "This dress is so ugly, and you are ugly too."
Baru knew she was upset, so he held her down and kissed her tenderly for nearly a minute before letting her go. He held her palm-sized face in his hands and smiled resignedly.
"Nan Xiaoxi, no one has ever been able to control me. Not the drug dealers, not the military government, not Brother Jin and Brother Meng. Only you, Nan Xiaoxi, only you, have made me change my mind again and again. You should be thankful that you are my wife."
Nanxi curled her lips and said nothing, but she seemed to know what he was getting at.
