Chapter 84 Lin Qingxu, you have no heart...
“Snap—”
The crisp sound of a slap exploded in the silence.
Kan Zhao turned his head and felt a burning pain on his right cheek.
He slowly turned his head and saw Lin Qingxu's appearance tonight for the first time through the dim light of the entrance.
She was wearing a white dress he had never seen before. The collar was adorned with tiny pearls, which shone dazzlingly in the light. Her hair was carefully curled, and a few strands of hair fell by her ears, trembling slightly with her rapid breathing.
It looks really good.
But she had never dressed like this for him before.
Thinking of this, the jealousy and resentment that were difficult to suppress grew even more.
Kan Zhao suddenly thought of the video he had seen.
What others captured was Lin Xiaoxiao and Qu Wen confessing their love.
What he saw was Lin Xiaoxiao and Qu Wen hugging each other.
What about what they can't see?
He gently touched the corners of his hot lips with his fingertips, lowered his eyes, and his eyes were transparent.
Sadly, the results were not satisfactory.
There was no trace of the lipstick, and the last bit of hope in my heart disappeared.
"So they've already kissed?"
This realization caused jealousy to completely consume his sanity.
Lin Qingxu raised his eyes and looked at him blankly.
Then, Kan Zhao leaned over again and pushed her hard against the wall, unable to move.
Without giving Lin Qingxu any time to react, a kiss tinged with alcohol descended upon her. This time, the kiss was even more ferocious, roughly crushing her lips as if to devour her.
His tongue roughly pried open her teeth, irresistibly penetrating every corner, swallowing up all of Lin Qingxu's whimpers and protests.
Kan Zhao's hand tightly clasped the back of her neck, and his other hand wrapped around her waist like an iron hoop, locking her firmly between the wall and his body.
He was using this kiss to declare his sovereignty, using the pain and suffocation to wipe out any trace of another man.
Only when the faint smell of blood filled their mouths did Kan Zhao step back slightly, resting his forehead against Lin Qingxu's, his hot, heavy breathing spraying on her face.
Jin Yuanbao had heard the noise and came over. At first, he looked at them blankly, not understanding what they were doing. Then, he felt something bad was going on and gently bit Kan Zhao's trouser leg, trying to pull him away.
Lin Qingxu didn't understand why Kan Zhao suddenly went crazy. But after this incident, the relationship between them couldn't be broken any further.
"Awake?" Lin Qingxu said calmly.
"Yeah." He responded softly, but his body remained in the position that trapped her between the wall and his chest, with no intention of moving away.
"Where were you tonight?" he asked in a hoarse voice.
"Over the Nanchuan River."
"Did you set off the fireworks?"
Lin Qingxu didn't know how Kan Zhao knew about this, but she admitted: "...Yeah."
"…and then what did you do?"
"Have dinner with Professor Qu and the others."
Hearing this, Kan Zhao let out a very light, deep laugh, full of self-mockery: "Meeting the parents?"
Lin Qingxu: "..."
She felt that Kan Zhao's mood tonight was a little inexplicable.
At this moment, she was also a little angry. He had done that, but instead of apologizing first, he was being sarcastic here?
The hug just now was not initiated by her. She was obviously confused and caught off guard at the time. She had rejected Qu Wen from the very beginning.
Furthermore, Kan Zhao made it sound as if he himself was doing a good job. Hadn't he always acquiesced, even indulged, his schoolmate Le Yao to stay by his side?
The governor is allowed to set fire, but the people are not allowed to light lamps? Besides, she hasn't even lit a lamp yet.
Lin Qingxu looked up at him and asked:
"Kan Zhao, what are you crazy about?"
These words were like a pot of boiling oil, pouring heavily on Kan Zhao's nerves burned by alcohol and jealousy.
"I'm crazy?"
He raised his hand and slowly wiped the corner of his lips with his fingertips, where there was still traces of blood. Then he smeared it heavily on Lin Qingxu's lips, as if to replenish the missing color, to restore it, and then to carve a mark that was uniquely his.
"Then tell me, what does it mean to be awake?"
"Is it that I'm so heartbroken but still smiling and blessing you?"
He suddenly took another step closer to her, and placed his hands heavily on the wall beside her ears, trapping her completely between him and the wall.
“Why didn’t you answer the phone?”
"Qin Jiangqun told me this afternoon that you like me and want to be with me. I took it seriously. Do you know how happy I was at that time?"
"I waited for a long time. It was evening. You still didn't come to see me. But I didn't doubt anything else. I thought at the time, who else can you like besides me? And no one likes you more than I do."
"But it seems I was wrong. It seems like this has always been my wishful thinking. You like Qu Wen, not me."
"Why don't you answer the phone? Lin Xiaoxiao."
"Are you afraid that I'll disturb you?"
He asked in a deep voice, "You two kissed, right? Lin Qingxu."
Kan Zhao used his index finger to wipe Lin Qingxu's lips. The blood on them made them look even more vibrant.
The voice was very low: "How can you do this?"
His fingers slid down from Lin Qingxu's lips, fell onto the dress on her shoulders, and then to the necklace on her collarbone. The silver pendant shimmered under the light. Kan Zhao picked up the diamond rose in the center and said:
"I gave you this necklace last year. It was a set of two. The other one is still locked in my closet. We went shopping for this skirt together last summer. We bought two in total, but you thought they were too heavy and didn't want to bring them both. Before school started, you asked me which one I thought looked good, and I chose this one."
"Look, my shadow is everywhere on you."
"...Even before, you said you loved me the most."
Lin Qingxu looked up at him.
As she got closer, she could clearly see the pain surging in Kan Zhao's eyes.
The whole house seemed to be stagnant and suffocating, and Lin Qingxu even felt a tightness in his chest.
What should she say now?
What can I respond to?
Say, Kan Zhao, you misunderstood. I like you. Whether it's fireworks or flower petal rain, they are all prepared for you.
But, now, is it possible to respond like this?
The courage that had been growing day by day had disappeared by the afternoon.
Perhaps she had been doing things wrong all along. She had only coveted the warmth Kan Zhao offered her, and so she had been avoiding him. But reality had to be faced. At least for now, Lin Qingxu still hadn't considered what would happen if they were really together and one day Kan Zhao got tired of her.
The issue of the volatility of love and the stability of friendship kept crisscrossing and intertwining in Lin Qingxu's mind, and she had never figured it out.
Perhaps at the very beginning, on the day when the whole class gathered after the college entrance examination, I told Kan Zhao clearly.
Sorry. I can't be with you.
"sorry."
This sentence was like a fuse, igniting Kan Zhao's emotions in an instant, and those pent-up emotions burst out like a dam breaking.
"Why?! On what basis?! How am I inferior to him?
Lin Xiaoxiao, tell me, can I change my career?
The sudden increase in volume caused the gold ingot on the ground to whimper in response.
Lin Qingxu could feel Kan Zhao's hot breath due to his excessive excitement, and the hands clasping her shoulders were trembling slightly.
She was silent, opened her mouth, and finally said dryly, "Lower your voice. Jin Yuanbao can't stand loud noises. If it's serious, he'll die from stress."
Kan Zhao simply had no idea what to do with her cold attitude.
So in her eyes, both Qu Wen and that silly cat are much more important than him?
His voice was hoarse, filled with a kind of deeply hurt disbelief, "Do you... have no heart at all?"
Lin Qingxu lowered her eyelids, her thick eyelashes casting a small shadow under her eyes. She was silent for a moment, then nodded gently but clearly.
She didn't look at his reaction again, but just squatted down silently and hugged the frightened Jin Yuanbao in her arms. She stood up and walked straight to the door.
"Where are you going?" Kan Zhao suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Lin Qingxu stopped but did not look back, his voice low and calm.
"You need to calm down. Besides...you probably don't want to see me right now, and we...are not suitable to live together anymore."
Kan Zhao was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Lin Qingxu, is my love so scary to you?"
So that you can avoid it no matter what?
The only response he got was silence from the other party.
Kan Zhao's hand slowly slid from Lin Qingxu's wrist, stayed in the air for a moment, and finally hung limply at his side.
"No need." He said hoarsely, "I'm leaving."
The moment the last two words fell, Kan Zhao pulled open the door. The heavy security door was slammed shut by him with a deafening bang.
The sound echoed in the house for a long time. When the sound faded away, the empty house was left with only silence.
Lin Qingxu leaned against the cold wall and slowly slid down to the ground.
The gold ingot in her arms rubbed against her arm uneasily.
Finally, she could no longer control herself, and tears silently slid down her face, drop by drop, landing on the kitten's soft fur.

——
Kan Zhao is a guy who loves to eat some nameless and insignificant jealousy.
The melodrama ends here~ I still remember that this was a fresh and sweet story.
However, Qingxu Baby’s human-machine reaction is a bit irritating.
Kan Zhao: Don’t you have a heart?
Lin Qingxu nodded
Kan Zhao: I'm so angry I'm dying
Kan Zhao——
He slammed the door shut to vent his anger, and stood downstairs for five minutes. He found that Lin Qingxu did not chase him down to comfort him, and he became even more angry. In anger, he kicked over the trash can downstairs.
Two minutes later, he saw that Lin Qingxu still hadn't come down to comfort him, and hadn't even sent a phone message. He wiped his eyes, picked up the trash can, and put the garbage that had fallen on the ground back.
