Chapter 39: It Hurts So Much
After cooking the dishes and serving them on the table, he came over and held Su Yan in his arms, looking her up and down.
"I'm not hurt, why are you frowning all the time?"
"Kid, what are you thinking about?"
Su Yan shook her head. "I'm not thinking about anything. Can we eat now?"
The child was hungry, so He Ji naturally didn't ask any further questions. He carried her to the dining table and wanted to hold her to sit down, but the person in his arms gently pulled his clothes.
"I'll eat it myself."
"Tsk, I've never seen a child as stupid as you. Don't you like being served? Others want me to feed them but I refuse, and you don't appreciate it at all."
Su Yan didn't say anything, just looked down at her hands, like a primary school student being scolded by her teacher.
Seeing her so obedient and pitiful, He Ji couldn't bear to say anything more even if he had more to say.
He pushed the bowl over and said, "Eat quickly."
Su Yan raised her eyes and looked at him again and again, cautiously, as if she was looking at a man-eating wolf.
He Ji didn't want to pay attention to her at first, but when he saw that she didn't even move her chopsticks and kept looking at his face, he couldn't help but speak.
"Just ask whatever you want to ask. If you keep hesitating like this, the food will get cold."
Su Yan said "oh", picked up her chopsticks, and said casually, "Have you always been so talkative?"
He Ji: ...
"grass"
"I usually don't talk much. If I didn't care about you, would I be like a woman?"
"If you don't know what's good for you, I won't feel sorry for you anymore and will give you a good beating."
Su Yan was stunned for several seconds before she realized what he meant. Her face turned red, but she still couldn't say anything.
Unable to find the words, she simply stopped talking, lowered her head, and ate her meal.
He Ji wanted to have a good talk with her, but he didn't expect her to keep silent again. He was so angry that he almost died.
He pressed his tongue against his teeth and decided to find time to see a dentist. He had to find out whether there was something wrong with his teeth or if it was just because he was angry with her.
He is not an unreasonable person. He has to find out the truth before he knows whether he should punish her.
After Wusheng finished his meal, He Ji cleaned up the dishes, and Su Yan moved a small stool and sat by the door to watch him.
He Ji was very happy that he could see her by just turning his head slightly after forcing her here.
So what if you don’t want to come over? He has plenty of ways to deal with it. How can a little girl like you be a match for him?
Su Yan waited for him to clean up and then stood up immediately, looking at him with a stern face, "Can we go now?"
He Ji whistled at her and raised his eyebrows. "Of course, you can go wherever you want now. Of course, I think the best place for you right now is in my arms."
Su Yan: ...
"You look like a gangster, a filthy kind at that."
He Ji: ...
The sweet words I learned with great difficulty become vulgar when spoken by you?
"grass"
That bastard Lin Er is becoming more and more useless. He can't even find a book when asked to do so. What kind of bullshit is he teaching?
I don’t want to learn it anymore. It’s a waste of my time. Children won’t buy it. I’ll just kiss them next time.
Looking at his face that was as black as ash at the bottom of a pot, Su Yan turned around silently, and where he couldn't see, she grinned, revealing two tiny canine teeth.
In the next few days, He Ji went out early and came back late, and Su Yan couldn't see him in the morning or evening. If there wasn't a big hand pressing on her waist every night, she would have thought he had never come back.
He Ji was really busy. A boss was holding back on payment for goods, so he went to the other party's company and blocked it for a few days before the other party reluctantly gave him the money.
After paying out this month's wages and settling the anxious payment for goods, he heaved a sigh of relief. He calculated the time and found out that Su Yan's period was over and she came back early in the morning with food.
When he walked in, Su Yan was calculating this month's rent. When she saw him, she was stunned.
"Why are you back so early today?"
"Generally speaking, menstruation will be over in a week. Today is your eighth day, so it should be over."
He didn't use a questioning tone. Su Yan blinked, thinking about the sanitary napkin she had just put on, and shook her head reluctantly.
"Not yet."
He Ji narrowed his eyes, looked at her guilty eyes, took a few steps forward, and checked it himself.
Su Yan was frightened by his actions. She didn't expect that this person would actually pull down her pants.
Her eyes turned red with anger, and she punched him hard on the shoulder, "You pervert, you have no shame."
He Ji: ...
He is a hooligan and a pervert, and now he is also a pervert. He has more and more labels now.
"I'm not a silly boy of twelve or thirteen. Women's periods usually last seven days. Even if there's more, it can't be as heavy as you have now."
"In this situation, either there's something wrong with you, or you've been lying to me."
"Before I get mad, you'd better tell me the truth, or I'll kill you."
He gritted his teeth, his eyes turned red, and his ferocious expression made Su Yan's heart beat faster and her body tremble uncontrollably.
Her teeth were chattering, and she opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word.
Seeing her like this, He Jixian, who was about to go crazy, couldn't bear to leave. He kept telling himself that the child was still young and he couldn't scare her.
He took a deep breath, sat on the sofa, and let Su Yan sit on his lap facing him.
Su Yan wanted to avoid his gaze, but his chin was pinched and she was forced to look up.
"I'm giving you a chance to explain. If your explanation doesn't satisfy me, you'll lose half your life today."
Su Yan couldn't hold back any longer, and tears fell like pearls, falling into the palm of He Ji's hand that was pinching her chin.
Although they were just warm tears, He Ji felt as if he was burned. His hands shrank and his teeth were almost broken.
"Why are you crying? I haven't done anything to you yet."
"It won't be too late to cry when I really bully you."
Su Yan was already scared, and after being threatened by him, she trembled all over and dared not speak. When she opened her mouth to breathe, hiccups would come out from time to time.
Her eyes were red and filled with crystal tears. He Ji licked his teeth and laughed.
"If you cry again, I'll eat you right now."
Su Yan's breath was choked, and she tried hard to stop crying. Looking at his fierce eyes, she pursed her lips, put her arms around his neck, and gasped.
He Ji almost failed in his silent act of coquettishness, but fortunately he bit his tongue and did not utter the words "it's okay".
"Okay, now tell me why you lied to me."
Su Yan opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, two more hiccups came out. She took two deep breaths before she said in a sobbing voice, "It hurts so much."
He Ji: ...
I thought of countless reasons, but I didn't think of this one. He Ji was stunned for two seconds and then laughed out of anger.
