Her hand then reached up and touched Chu Yu's waist, just like Chu Yu had done before.
The series of actions were swift. By the time Chu Yu realized something was wrong and tried to stop her, Qi Jiu directly blocked her way and unceremoniously pulled the small dagger from her waist.
She stared at the small dagger in her hand, scrutinizing it, completely ignoring the somewhat terrified faces around her.
"So you really are my 'good friend'! Did you learn this habit of carrying a dagger from me? Chuyu, if you want to be my stand-in, then at least act convincingly. Nan Chu would never show such an expression, nor would she do such a despicable thing!"
She emphasized the word 'despicable' with extreme force, and the coldness and sarcasm in her eyes made Chu Yu freeze on the spot.
She no longer had the time or inclination to dwell on word usage; instead…
Where no one could see, a layer of cold sweat had already formed on his back.
No, that's not it.
"You have your own mission, and I doubt you want to be so subservient to me. Since you're unwilling, then I'll let you leave as soon as possible." Qi Jiu's smile was tinged with coldness.
Ever since they met, Chu Yu has been trying every means to get close to her. Even after being rejected, she still has the courage to approach her. It seems that she has become incredibly shameless.
Or perhaps, there is someone or some force behind her that is pushing her to do this out of necessity.
"Chuyu, looking at your face now makes me feel disgusted."
Her voice was very calm, but it made the person in front of her change her expression. She looked at the small dagger in Qi Jiu's hand in horror and shook her head with trembling hands.
Chu Yu is now perfectly clear-headed. She only resorted to this method to get closer because she couldn't win a fight. In other words, whatever Qi Jiu decides to do next, she's like a lamb to the slaughter, powerless to fight back.
But unfortunately, the only weapon she has is now in the hands of the other party.
"What...what do you want to do?"
Even though she tried her best to endure it, the slight tremor in her voice betrayed her, amplifying her inner fear.
Qi Jiu did not answer the question. She stood up and looked at Yu Qi behind her. Yu Qi seemed to have been terrified by the dagger in her hand, her eyes darting back and forth.
But when he meets Qi Jiu's gaze, he can still look at her with such unwavering determination.
"Yu Qi, just stand here and wait for me. Don't ask about what happens after that."
Seeing Yu Qi nod, Qi Jiu didn't care about anything else, picked up Chu Yu, and walked towards the alley next to her.
Feeling the pain in her feet, Chu Yu tried to resist, but in the end, nothing she did worked.
Looking at this somewhat familiar alley, she felt a little dazed. It was right here that Qi Jiu had rescued her in front of three men.
Unexpectedly, they've reappeared here so soon, but the situation is completely reversed from before.
The person Qi Jiu wants to execute now is the very person she saved back then.
"Qiqi, what are we doing here? What do you want to do?"
Chu Yu feigned composure, but Qi Jiu, standing not far away, did not answer. She was playing with a dagger in her hand, and with a twist of her wrist, the dagger slipped from her grasp.
Before Chu Yu could dodge, the dagger was firmly embedded in the wall behind her, and the next second, she felt a slight stinging pain on her cheek.
As he raised his hand, his fingers were already stained with a very noticeable bright red.
As the pain and warm fluid trickled down her cheek, she panicked completely. When she looked up again, she met Qi Jiu's deep, dark eyes, and the fear emanating from them made her instinctively back away.
And so, he limped backward until his back felt icy cold, then he stopped. "No, no, we should..."
"A fake is a fake. Your face makes me feel nauseous."
With a sharp "shh," she drew the dagger beside her and slowly brought it to Chu Yu's face. "No matter what you do, you have to pay the price. Are you ready? This face disgusts me."
Before Chu Yu could say anything, the blade was already upon her.
As screams of resistance and pain rang out, Yu Qi, who was standing still, subconsciously wanted to look into the alley, but as soon as she took a step, Qi Jiu's words rang out.
In the end, it was returned.
Although the screams continued to ring out, she tried her best to pretend she couldn't hear them.
In just a few moments, Chu Yu's face was a mess, covered in blood and grime. The obvious scratches on her face were still bleeding, staining her clothes red and dripping onto the ground from time to time.
It looks like a scene from a horror movie.
Even so, Qi Jiu remained completely unmoved.
“I gave you a chance before, but you insisted on running into it yourself. Since that’s the case, I’ll still give you this big gift.”
Looking at the blood-stained dagger, she threw it on the ground with disgust, took out a tissue from her pocket, and wiped her hands.
The wailing never stopped from beginning to end, but Qi Jiu didn't even glance at it.
"Since you are so skilled at disguise, you can probably fix this disfigured face. Don't let me see you again. You need to understand that this is not just a verbal threat."
Next time, the dagger won't just slash the cheek. The next target might be... the throat?
Chu Yu had collapsed to the ground at some point, the liquid on her face seemingly a mixture of tears and blood.
But Qi Jiu showed no pity and turned away from this place she loathed.
On this side, Yu Qi stood on the road, watching the people coming and going, and cautiously peering towards the alley.
After waiting for a long time without seeing anyone come out, just as I was about to go forward to take a look, I saw a slender and tall figure walk out of the alley.
"Idol!"
Yu Qi waved at her, then pursed her lips when she saw that there was no one behind her.
"Idol, where is Chu... Chuyu?"
If she wasn't mistaken, those screams must have come from Chu Yu. So, what did Qi Qi do to her?
She still had a dagger in her hand... She wondered what was wrong with Ze. Suddenly, she thought of what had happened on the street before, which had already resulted in a death. Could it be the same this time?
The girl looked into Yu Qi's somewhat probing eyes, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
"She probably won't show up again. You have to pay the price for what you did wrong, don't you think?"
Her voice was calm, which made Yu Qi shudder involuntarily, but she did not refute her words.
Because she thought so too. Although she didn't know what Chu Yu's purpose was in getting close to Qi Jiu, it seemed to be something bad.
