Every word and phrase is for him.
If Qin Ge were to refuse again, it would seem pretentious and ungrateful.
He could only turn around without a word, lift his shirt to reveal his back, and a section of his delicate, slender waist came into the man's view.
Because her back was to Huo Beiyuan, Qin Ge didn't see the man's eyes suddenly darken.
Those eyes were pitch black, deep, and unfathomable, yet beneath their pupils raged a fire powerful enough to start a prairie fire.
·
...It was like a long, agonizing ordeal.
Qin Ge had her back to the man, so she couldn't see his expression or movements, only the trembling sensation of his well-defined hand touching her skin.
He couldn't help but hold his breath slightly.
After the medicine was applied to the two bruises on his back, Qin Ge's back and lower back became incredibly hot under the man's slender hands. His pale skin even turned a faint pink, so pink that it made one want to open their mouth and bite it, leaving their own mark.
Huo Beiyuan ultimately did not do that, withdrawing his hand from the boy's body, though a lingering, pleasant sensation remained on his palm.
Qin Ge's body, which had been tense to the extreme, finally relaxed, and her white t-shirt slipped down, covering her waist and back, which were still as white as jade but still flushed pink.
Qin Ge then realized that a thin layer of sweat had appeared on his forehead.
He thought.
I need to start exercising tomorrow. Otherwise, what if I get into another fight with Lu Sinian and the old man has to apologize to his cheap nephew and apply medicine for him again?
He didn't want to experience that feeling again.
so……
Next time, we must pin Lu Sinian to the ground and beat him so badly he can't fight back!
·
Jiang Xibai thought Lu Sinian would stand up for him. He knew very well that Qin Ge was so humbly and cautiously in love with her fiancé. With Anian speaking up, Qin Ge would bow down to him... right?
As a result, Jiang Xibai waited and waited, but Qin Ge didn't come to apologize to him until the next day, and he didn't even see Lu Sinian.
Jiang Xibai harbored a slight resentment, feeling that Lu Sinian didn't care about him, just like... 3 years ago.
Jiang Xibai bit his lip, sitting in his studio, his fingers gripping the brush tightly. Even though his previous sketches were destroyed and the day for him to be accepted as a disciple by the old master of the art world was getting closer, he was so agitated that he couldn't paint at all.
All these complaints vanished when Jiang Xibai saw Lu Sinian in person, especially when he saw the bright and conspicuous scars on Lu Sinian's face!
"A-Nian, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Xibai was shocked and immediately asked with concern.
He was truly devoted to Lu Sinian.
I've liked Lu Sinian since I was very young.
However, Lu Sinian had always only regarded him as a younger brother, until after that incident...
Jiang Xibai felt a pang of heartache and wanted to touch the bruises around Lu Sinian's eyes, but Lu Sinian turned his head away, preventing Jiang Xibai's fingers from touching his face. Meeting Jiang Xibai's disappointed expression, Lu Sinian explained calmly, "It's nothing, I just got into a fight."
He downplayed it.
There was no indication of resentment towards Qin Ge in his words.
Previously, Lu Sinian didn't have any feelings for Qin Ge. He didn't feel any love or hate for him. He only heard that Jiang Xibai had suffered a lot of grievances with Qin Ge. But it was true that Qin Ge was the biological son of the Jiang family. Jiang Xibai had occupied the identity of the family for 16 years and enjoyed the pampering and glory of the Jiang family for 16 years. Qin Ge had suffered in the Qin family for 16 years in his place, so it was natural for him to have resentment.
Could he possibly lay a hand on Qin Ge, the victim?
Lu Sinian was simply annoyed by the fact that the former 'Qin Ge' was secretly spying on him.
He neither liked nor cared about such unrequited love.
It wasn't until this incident escalated and spread throughout G University that Lu Sinian took the initiative to approach Qin Ge.
Thinking about how Qin Ge had attacked him, Lu Sinian felt that his unrequited love was just a figment of his imagination.
Then, considering that person's unclear relationship with his uncle...
Lu Sinian's eyes flickered, and he didn't mention this person in front of Jiang Xibai.
Jiang Xibai immediately realized who it was, his face paled, and he hurriedly asked, "It was Qin Ge, he's the one who attacked you, isn't he?!"
Lu Sinian was quite surprised that Jiang Xibai had guessed who it was. After all, Qin Ge had fought with him... In the past, telling anyone would have been unbelievable, like a dream.
Lu Sinian originally didn't intend to tell Jiang Xibai, so as not to cause him unnecessary heartache.
However, Jiang Xibai guessed it himself: Lu Sinian had no intention of deliberately hiding anything or lying to him.
He acquiesced.
Jiang Xibai could guess that the injury on Lu Sinian's face was caused by Qin Ge, which wasn't surprising.
Qin Ge even beat up Jiang Ye!
Seeing Lu Sinian's tacit agreement, Jiang Xibai felt both heartache and a hint of resentment in his words, saying, "Xiao Ge, how could Xiao Ge do this?"
As he spoke, he lowered his head again, as if he were very remorseful, and said, "I'm sorry, Anian, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have gotten hurt."
Lu Sinian didn't blame Jiang Xibai, and said in a light tone, "It's just that my skills are inferior to others, so I can't blame anyone else."
He paused for a moment, then hesitated slightly before saying, "Xixi, if you see him in the future... just try to avoid provoking him."
Qin Ge's personality is very different from before. In addition, with his uncle backing him up, let alone Jiang Xibai and the Jiang family, even if he wanted to touch Qin Ge... he would have to think twice.
He said this because he was afraid that Jiang Xibai would suffer a loss in Qin Ge's competition.
After all, with Jiang Xibai's weak constitution, Qin Ge could probably beat him into a state of inability to take care of himself in no time.
Having personally experienced how ruthless and vicious Qin Ge was in beating people, Lu Sinian felt a lingering pain in his ribs.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xibai's eyes widened suddenly.
— Not only did A-Nian not help him get justice, but he also sided with Qin Ge!
"Don't mess with Qin Ge," he said, making him sound like some kind of troublemaker!
Jiang Xibai felt suffocated, as if she couldn't breathe. But he was a beautiful and kind young man, like a white moonlight. How could she be unreasonable in front of her fiancé?
Even though resentment welled up inside him, Jiang Xibai didn't show any sign of betraying his "white moonlight" persona. He only subtly revealed a hint of sadness and sorrow as he spoke:
“A-Nian, I know.”
"It was I who... owed him."
Lu Sinian couldn't bear to see Jiang Xibai so upset, but he was always a cold and aloof person and couldn't bring himself to be tender. So he changed the subject to stop Jiang Xibai from being sad. "The day when Master Qu accepts his apprentices is coming up soon. Is your painting ready?"
Jiang Xibai pursed his lips and shook his head, a bitter smile appearing on his lips. He said softly, "It was almost finished, but it was ruined, so I had to redraw it."
Lu Sinian didn't even ask why the painting was destroyed or who destroyed it. He only instructed, "With your abilities, you will definitely be accepted as Master Qu's last disciple. Just take care of your health and don't stay up all night just to paint, understand?"
This was a rare display of tenderness from Lu Sinian.
However, Jiang Xibai was only focused on his little scheme to make Qin Ge look bad in front of Lu Sinian. He was very disappointed when Lu Sinian didn't respond. He couldn't appreciate the tenderness and care in Lu Sinian's words.
He smiled weakly and nodded in agreement.
My heart feels heavy.
Having suffered repeated setbacks at Qin Ge's hands was something that had never happened before...
But it's okay.
Jiang Xibai gently clenched his fist, thinking to himself.
Grandma's birthday is coming soon, and Mom and Dad are about to return from their trip abroad. Qin Ge... Qin Ge longs for his parents' love so much... but Mom and Dad only love him...
He did not lose.
He cannot lose.
He won't lose either.
