Chapter 62: Comforting One and That
"Nono, I beg you..."
Su Yinuo felt a deep sense of heartache. She ran back and hugged Qin Cangye, who was lying on the bed in tears. She patted his back and sobbed, comforting him, "Don't cry, don't cry. Do you want to take some medicine? I'll help you. I'll help you."
She held up Qin Cangye's face, wiped his tears with her sleeve, took the medicine box from his hand, and asked, "How much should I take?"
"Ten... ten," Qin Cangye's eyes were red as he looked at Su Yinuo pitifully, and his tone of voice was somewhat uncertain.
"So many?" Su Yinuo couldn't believe it. She looked at the instructions on the medicine bottle and said, "Isn't it twice a day, three pills at a time?"
"Three won't do me any good."
"So you only took ten pills? How can you take medicine like that? No wonder you're so dazed during the day, you've become stupid from all the pills!" Su Yinuo was both distressed and angry, and scolded, "You have to follow the doctor's orders when taking medicine! I don't believe the doctor would let you take ten pills!"
She poured three pills into her palm, closed the bottle cap, and said, "Wait a moment, I'll get you some water."
"No need," Qin Cangye grabbed Su Yinuo's wrist and licked the pill in her palm into his mouth.
"No, isn't it bitter?" Su Yinuo looked at Qin Cangye in surprise.
"I can't taste the bitterness anymore." He pulled Su Yinuo into his arms, leaning on her shoulder, reluctant to let her go. His emotions had calmed down a lot, but his voice was still tinged with pain. "It's still very uncomfortable, Yinuo. I told you three pills are useless."
"That's because you took medicine indiscriminately and developed drug resistance! Don't take medicine indiscriminately in the future," Su Yinuo stroked the back of his head and scolded him with heartache.
"If you don't leave and stay with me, I won't eat anything else," Qin Cangye said, throwing a tantrum like a child. He held Su Yinuo back on the bed, not lifting her clothes, nor kissing or touching her anymore. He just held her tightly, burying his face in her chest, unwilling to let her go.
"I...I want to ask you," Su Yinuo gently grasped Qin Cangye's short black hair and asked nervously, "You just said...you love me?"
"Yes, I love you," Qin Cangye rubbed Su Yinuo's sweater and took a deep breath. Thinking of the days and nights of the past two months, when Qin Wangxuan had held her in his arms and made love with her and fallen asleep with her, he felt very uncomfortable.
How could she possibly be pregnant? He thought sadly: When I first had sex with you, weren't you furious and went to buy birth control pills? Why didn't Qin Wangxuan have to wear one? Do you really love him that much?
He tightened his grip, wanting to possess the person in his arms immediately, using her uncontrollable moans under him to prove that she still needed him. However, she had just said that she didn't want to do those things with him.
So, she doesn't need me anymore? What should I do? How can I stay with her?
Qin Cangye felt desperate. Just when he was feeling miserable, he heard Su Yinuo's question: "Then why did you push me to someone else? Why did you break up with me? Why did you refuse to even call me when I missed you?"
Su Yinuo's voice trembled a little. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "This doesn't look like love for me, does it?"
"Because I'm sorry for you, because I almost killed you! I'm scared, Nono, I'm afraid that one day you'll die in my hands. I still don't dare to think about what happened that day. Whenever I think of that possible outcome, I will, I will collapse with fear..."
Vermilion fragments of memory appeared in Qin Cangye's mind, and in a moment turned into dark red bloodstains. He hugged Su Yinuo tightly, using her body temperature and smell to dispel the increasingly terrifying memories in his mind.
After a pause, he continued, "My condition was even worse than it is now. I couldn't even bear to let your appearance appear in my mind, so what I thought was, let it end like this. A madman like me is not worthy of having you."
Su Yinuo's heart was filled with a mixture of emotions. Heartache, sadness, and a deep sense of helplessness, as if she had been teased by fate. She thought Qin Cangye no longer loved her, that her relationship with him was over. She had spent a month trying to repair the gaping hole in her heart left by losing him, to heal the pain of missing him, but it turned out that he was just afraid and retreated.
"So what now?" she asked sadly.
"I... I still want to be with you," Qin Cangye said nervously, "I will take my medicine, treat my illness, and control my emotions. I'm much better now. As long as I don't stop taking the medicine, even if what happened that day happens again, I won't hurt you again."
He held her waist tightly and tried his best to promise: "I will protect you, I will definitely protect you. I won't let Qin Weishu have the chance to hurt you, and I won't let you encounter any danger again. I will keep you and your family away from all dangers. I will also satisfy everything you want and make your life carefree and happy. So... can you come back to me?"
After mustering up the courage to speak, she waited a long time for a reply. Qin Cangye immediately realized that he had missed the most important thing and quickly said, "Don't worry about the child. I will be with you until you give birth and treat her like my own child." He gently stroked her belly. "I won't let you have any more children in the future. Giving birth is painful. This one is enough."
Su Yinuo was at a loss for words. During the few minutes of silence, she didn't think about the child at all, because it was all fake. She was just thinking about Qin Cangye's words: "I won't let Qin Weishu have the chance to hurt you... I will keep you away from all danger."
So, if I told Qin Cangye what I'm doing now, he'd probably stop me, but I couldn't just give up. I'd been acting in front of Qin Weishu for almost two months, enduring his cold stares and pressure so many times. Now, it was a critical moment. I was going to meet Li Guogang's son tomorrow, and there was bound to be a breakthrough. How could I let all my efforts go to waste at such a crucial moment?
I can only tell him after everything is settled.
So, Su Yinuo pushed Qin Cangye's shoulder and said, "Let's talk about these things later."
"Let's talk about it later..." Qin Cangye took this as a subtle refusal. The room fell silent again.
Su Yinuo suppressed her emotions, thought calmly, and ultimately decided to reject Qin Cangye directly. Firstly, she wanted to avoid his interference in her plans and complete them as quickly as possible; secondly, she feared her ambiguous attitude would cause him to suffer from repeated anxiety and self-doubt, further hurting him.
"I can't promise you. I like Wangxuan. How can I be with you when I have his child? Let me go. Let me go."
This lie tore Su Yinuo's heart apart. She lowered her eyes, gritted her teeth, and said to herself: I'm sorry, I'll apologize to you after everything is over.
She thought she would be met with Qin Cangye's painful roar, but the person on her body was unusually calm, and the tight embrace on her body loosened.
He slowly stood up and sat on the edge of the bed, his back facing her, and said only one word: "Okay..."
Su Yinuo was a little surprised. She sat up and reached out to touch his dejected back, but before she could touch him, she withdrew her hand. Her eyes darkened, and she warned him, "Take your medicine well, and don't take too much," then got out of bed and walked towards the door.
Qin Cangye's heart became more and more painful and cold as Su Yinuo's footsteps gradually faded away.
The door was opened, and Su Yinuo was surprised to see Qin Wangxuan standing against the opposite wall with his arms folded, looking painful.
When their eyes met, Qin Wangxuan looked surprised.
"Why are you standing here? Why do you look so pale?" Su Yinuo asked quickly, "Does it hurt where you were kicked just now?"
"Waiting for you here," Qin Wangxuan smiled and slowly walked towards Su Yinuo, "The pain will go away when I see you."
He hugged Su Yinuo, and through the crack of the door, which hadn't been closed yet, he saw Qin Cangye turning around inside the room, looking miserable, desperate, and faintly angry. He lowered his eyes, avoiding Qin Cangye's gaze, took Su Yinuo in his arms, stepped forward, and closed the door for Qin Cangye.
Back in the bedroom, Qin Wangxuan pulled Su Yinuo to sit on the sofa, stroked her somewhat messy long hair, stared at her slightly swollen lips, and asked with a wry smile: "Didn't you do it with him? I thought we had to wait until tomorrow morning."
"I'm not some animal with a lower body..." Su Yinuo speechlessly pushed Qin Wangxuan's hand away, pressed Qin Wangxuan against the back of the sofa, and lifted his shirt, "Let me see where I kicked you?"
His abdomen was red, with a few spots slightly purple. Su Yinuo frowned and asked quickly, "Does it hurt? Besides this red area, does it hurt anywhere else?"
Qin Wangxuan's cheeks flushed, and the corners of his mouth showed an uncontrollable smile. He replied, "It doesn't hurt anywhere else."
Su Yinuo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then there shouldn't be any internal injuries." As she spoke, she leaned over slightly and raised her hand to touch Qin Wangxuan's forehead. "There's no fever, so it should be fine. I'll get you an ice pack to cool you down."
As soon as she stood up, Qin Wangxuan grabbed her wrist, pulled her hard, and she fell on him.
Qin Wangxuan put his arm around Su Yinuo's waist, a smile on his face as he said, "You said you're fine, so there's no need to apply ice. Let me hold you for a while."
Afraid of hurting Qin Wangxuan, Su Yinuo didn't struggle. She leaned against his chest and asked, "Qin Cangye said he'd beat you up more than once or twice. What's going on?"
Qin Wangxuan didn't answer Su Yinuo's words, but asked in surprise: "So you didn't do it with him because you were angry with him because he beat me? If that's the case, I would rather be beaten every day!"
"No," Su Yinuo was speechless, "Answer my question first!"
Qin Wangxuan chuckled and said, "I told you before, but I don't know if you remember. My family fell into poverty, and my father took my sister and me and hid abroad. He was devastated and became addicted to drugs, and I was also living a very depressed life."
He paused, not wanting to reveal his decadent past to the person he liked, so he simply said, "I just wasn't doing my job every day, hanging out in some chaotic neighborhoods. One time, my sister and I were in danger, and it was Qin Cangye who saved me. Not only did he save me that time, but for a long time afterwards, he used very strict and tough methods to change my self-destructive attitude towards life.
At first, I didn't want to listen to him. He hit me so many times during that time that I became afraid of him, which is why I started accepting his teachings. From then on, I started calling him "brother." Now that I'm on the right path and looking back, I realize how ridiculous my life was during that time, and how precious everything my brother did for me was. He was, in a sense... a life-saving grace for me. So now, I'm grateful to him, but also afraid of him and jealous of him.
"So that's how it is..." The bond between them was much deeper than Su Yinuo had imagined. She finally understood why Qin Cangye trusted Qin Wangxuan so much, and why he wasn't worried about him seizing the shares he'd swindled from Qin Weishu. At the same time, she felt much more reassured. Qin Wangxuan would definitely not betray Qin Cangye; he was a trustworthy ally.
"Now it's your turn to speak," Qin Wangxuan straightened up and hugged Su Yinuo completely on his lap. His hand on her waist gently stroked her back through her sweater. He leaned close to her neck, sniffed deeply, and asked in her ear, "Why didn't you do it with him?"
Su Yinuo raised her hand to hold Qin Wangxuan's face, which was getting too close, and said in a depressed tone, "I plan to wait until the whole thing is over before I explain it to him. I'm mainly worried that if he finds out about my plan, he'll try to stop or interfere with me. So, during this period of time, I don't want to get entangled with him, so... I just directly rejected his request to get back together."
"You rejected him?" Qin Wangxuan's eyes lit up. He hugged Su Yinuo tightly and asked excitedly, "You really rejected him?"
Su Yinuo pushed Qin Wangxuan's excited face and said speechlessly: "It's just a temporary rejection of him. I will make it clear to him after this is over. If he still likes me then..."
"Haha, you rejected him, which proves that I still have a chance! At least during this period of time, you belong to me completely!" Qin Wangxuan completely ignored Su Yinuo's explanation. He was so excited that fireworks seemed to bloom in his eyes. He rubbed Su Yinuo's palm, then pressed the back of her hand and licked her palm hard.
"Alas, you..." Su Yinuo quickly pulled out her hand, looked at her palm, twitched her mouth, and said, "I didn't wash my hands..."
"What does it matter?" Qin Wangxuan came over and rubbed Su Yinuo's neck excitedly like a silly dog.
"This hand... Qin Cangye also licked it just now..." Su Yinuo raised his hand embarrassedly.
Qin Wangxuan's body stiffened, his face livid. A few seconds later, he carried Su Yinuo to the bed, nuzzled her cheek, and said with a wry smile, "If you allow me to kiss other places, even if he's kissed them before, I wouldn't mind." He raised his head, stroking her red lips with his thumb, and asked, "He kissed her before, right? Can I kiss you?"
Su Yinuo looked at Qin Wangxuan, there was no trace of lust in her eyes, only helplessness.
Qin Wangxuan lowered his head in frustration, put his hand on her shoulder and said, "I understand. No more kissing. Just let me hold you while you sleep at night, is that okay?"
Su Yinuo nodded.
Late at night, Su Yinuo was suddenly awakened by an itch on her waist while she was sleeping soundly. She drowsily pressed down her hand that had reached under her pajamas and muttered, "Wangxuan, stop it."
Qin Wangxuan's apologetic voice came from behind: "I'm sorry, I was just half asleep and thought I was dreaming."
Although he was apologizing, he didn't retract his hand at all.
Su Yinuo's hand on the back of his hand gradually loosened due to deep sleepiness.
"Are you asleep?" he whispered in her ear.
After waiting for a long time without receiving a response, his hand slowly slid up and touched an extremely soft skin. His heart trembled and he heard a seductive moan from the person in his arms.
He couldn't suppress the surging desire in his body. He held her slender waist tightly and kissed her neck. He used force in his hands and rubbed his body against her.
The sound in his arms became more and more intense. He pulled down her pajamas, rubbed her soft plush pajamas, and teased with his fingers. He heard a confused cry: "Ah... Qin Cangye..."
His movements froze, and after a moment of heartache, he laughed helplessly: "Just... treat me as Qin Cangye!"
