Chapter 149: Do it once, do it N times
Qin Jiahuai's tone was calm, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Chu Yao subconsciously wanted to tell the truth.
But she suddenly thought of what happened last night...
In fact, she was not very drunk last night. She remembered asking Qin Jiahuai at the beginning whether he wanted to call off the divorce.
What did this bastard say?
He fooled her.
Neither say yes nor no.
The damn scumbag just kept her hanging.
Just keep fooling around! One day I'll give you the entire revision plan and change you out too!
Chu Yao looked at Qin Jiahuai and shook her head: "I haven't talked about a new boyfriend."
Qin Jiahuai didn't respond.
Chu Yao added, "How can he be considered new? He's my old boyfriend. The old saying is true: clothes are worse than new, and people are worse than old."
Qin Jiahuai suddenly stopped and looked at her deeply.
Chu Yao also stopped: "What's wrong? Why don't you leave?"
After a long moment, he spoke, his words still quiet: "Why didn't you notify me when you came for a follow-up visit today? I'm your guardian, you should let me accompany you."
If I'm not with her for a day, she will start talking about her ex-boyfriend.
Chu Yao: "It was a last-minute decision."
Qin Jiahuai glanced at her from head to toe. "You made this last-minute decision, and you even dressed up and put on makeup?"
Chu Yao didn't say anything.
That's because she went to the company today to report the results of the investigation to others, and she put on light makeup to look energetic.
The lipstick she bought was of such great quality and waterproof that she drank a lot of water that day, but the lipstick didn't fall off.
Qin Jiahuai smiled faintly, his tone not too serious: "So it was him who reunited after a breakup. I really am a little disappointed with you two."
Chu Yao could tell he was being sarcastic and met his gaze.
"Who are you to say that? Guardian? I checked the relevant laws, and there's no provision that gives a guardian the authority to restrict an ex-wife from getting a new boyfriend."
"By the way, my guardian, when I remarry, will you take my hand and hand it over to another man?"
"How about letting you sit at the elders' table then?"
Faced with her provocation, he felt uncomfortable at first, but later... his attention was all on her lips opening and closing.
Most of the time, she didn't wear makeup in front of him. She liked to wear a long cotton dress with floral patterns and was always in the most natural and relaxed state.
She's not very good at putting on makeup, she usually just does it with a sloppy touch.
Qin Jiahuai suddenly raised his hand and held her face.
He gently rubbed his thumb against her bottom lip, wiping away the little bit of stain.
He spoke, his low, mellow voice gentle and uninhibited: "I can never apply it well."
"..." Chu Yao was speechless for a moment.
He was the one who gave her her first lipstick, a pink one, which she wore all the time. Even when it expired when she was in college, she couldn't bear to throw it away, and now the empty shell is still in her drawer.
He was the one who put lipstick on her for the first time in her life. He did this at that time, holding her face and wiping off the crooked parts bit by bit.
She looked straight into his eyes.
He seemed to notice it as well, and his attention shifted from her lips to her eyes.
Look at each other for a few seconds.
His hand suddenly clamped her jaw.
Before Chu Yao could react, her waist hit the wall behind her.
He leaned over, tilted his head, and kissed her forcefully and roughly. He was so aggressive that her lips soon felt slightly painful due to his excessive force.
Is there anyone who applies lipstick like this?
She bit his lower lip hard, and the smell of blood filled her nostrils, but he still didn't let go. All the suppressed jealousy turned into a painful entanglement between his lips and teeth.
He didn't release his grip until her legs went limp from lack of oxygen, and gently touched her swollen lips with his thumb.
The lipstick she was wearing was completely gone, but her lips were even redder than before.
Chu Yao pushed him away: "Qin Jiahuai, we are divorced. Do you think this is normal?"
Qin Jiahuai's expression returned to his usual coldness, and he wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with the back of his hand.
His eyes were red, and he smiled with a smile that didn't reach his eyes: "This kind of thing, like cheating, there are only zero times and countless times. If you didn't refuse the first time, don't bear the moral shackles in the future."
Chu Yao: "..."
He really had a firm grasp on her mentality.
When they first divorced, she did struggle and resist his behavior.
After calming down, I felt very regretful and angry.
But after that, my mentality every time was, I did it last time anyway, I’m the kind of person who can’t let go of my ex-husband and I have an unclear relationship with him… It doesn’t matter, I’ll just let it go.
She had been to the psychological clinic so many times and had heard of this mentality, called the slippery slope effect.
Some mistakes, once made, can lead to a decline in thinking and moral desensitization, and allow oneself to repeat the same mistakes. This is a common bad habit among human beings.
She was a little angry at this moment...
But seeing his red eyes, she couldn't bear to say anything and turned away.
Her car was towed away because it was hit.
So she instinctively walked towards Qin Jiahuai's car, opened the passenger door and sat in.
"Take me home."
Very self-conscious.
Qin Jiahuai drove her home.
When he raised his hand to turn the steering wheel, Chu Yao suddenly noticed a very fresh tooth mark on his arm.
Bite deep.
Chu Yao raised her hand and touched the tooth mark: "Did I bite it last night?"
Qin Jiahuai looked at the road ahead and replied slowly, "No, it was a dog bite."
“…” Chu Yao still remembered that it was she who bit it.
Last night he kept doing that for a long time without stopping. She was really angry and instinctively had the urge to grab his arm and bite it hard.
She took out her cell phone and searched online to see if other people had the same experience.
After reading what others said, she sent a message to Chen Yanbai.
Chu Yao: "I think you are lying to me. I must like him. That kind of love has exceeded the scope of rational control, because I can't help biting him sometimes."
Chu Yao: "I looked it up online, and everyone said it's an animal instinct. Many animals bite their mates to mark them, and it's due to possessiveness. I want to mark him too."
When she thought about Chen Yanbai saying that she didn't love him but just relied on his fatherly love, she felt very uncomfortable.
She was eager to prove to him that this was not the case.
Her entanglement with Qin Jiahuai was her own business. She didn't like seeing anyone interfering in their relationship, not even her doctor.
Once her past with Shen Yanbai is changed, maybe he will become a psychologist, but by then he will just be an ordinary male classmate, and he will have no right to say anything.
Soon, there was a reply.
Chen Yanbai: "Do you believe what's said on the Internet?"
Chu Yao: "Then tell me, what is the reason?"
Chen Yanbai: "Your ancestors were cannibals, and you are experiencing a bloodline awakening."
Chen Yanbai: "Greedy girl, eat something better next time."
"..." Chu Yao stopped talking.
It feels like there isn't a single word of truth coming out of these men's mouths.
An hour later, the car stopped downstairs of Chu Yao's house.
Chu Yao didn't plan to invite him home for a visit today. She still had to go back and tell Xiao Qin about the incident of catching the fugitive in the bathroom.
She opened the door to get out.
Qin Jiahuai suddenly said, "My phone is out of battery. Let me charge it at your house."
