Chapter 54
Before Aunt Zheng left, Guan Ying wanted to apply some blood-activating and anti-inflammatory plasters to her waist, but Aunt Zheng said Qiao Qi had lost her appetite for the past two days and was worried that the strong smell of the plasters would make her even more disgusted. Guan Ying, worried, decided to accompany Aunt Zheng to the ward tonight. Perhaps after Qiao Qi fell asleep, she could switch places with Aunt Zheng.
Aunt Zheng stubbornly pushed her back to her room. "You didn't sleep well last night. You stayed with me this morning, but you didn't even get a few hours' sleep before you went out again. You can't stay up any longer tonight! I feel at ease knowing you're here. You don't have to accompany me every step of the way. I've had a day's rest and I'm more energetic than you! Guanguan, are you still listening to me?"
Guan Ying couldn't persuade Aunt Zheng. Thinking that Zheng Juyong might go to the ward tonight, and that she had given him that idea, it would be very awkward for her to be there. So, she decided not to go tonight, but still told Aunt Zheng: "Aunt, if anything happens over there, you must call me."
"Okay, don't worry, go back quickly and go to bed early tonight." Aunt Zheng waved her hand, not allowing her to send her off again.
Guan Ying stayed alone in her hotel room until 10 p.m., when everything was quiet. She couldn't help but text Aunt Zheng to ask how she was doing. Aunt Zheng replied, "It's already this late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Apparently, nothing happened in the ward. That was odd. Where had Zheng Juyong been? She went to his room and knocked on the door several times, but there was no response. She called him, but he didn't answer... He never came back.
While waiting and thinking, my eyelids were fighting and I felt sleepy. Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore and lay on the bed with my phone in my hand. I fell asleep without realizing it.
She was sleeping soundly when suddenly a rapid ring rang in her ear, waking her up abruptly. Her first reaction was to pick up her phone to check, but it was not her own phone that was calling. She looked around and realized that it was the hotel landline on the bedside table ringing.
"Hello? Miss Guan, sorry to bother you, I'm the front desk clerk."
Guan Ying had just been awakened by the ringing of a phone. Her heart was still beating fast. She rubbed her eyes and said, "Oh... hello, what's going on?"
"Your friend, Mr. Zheng. He got drunk at the bar. When it was closing time, the bar manager found our hotel room card on him. He just called the front desk and asked us to pick him up. We can arrange a driver and a car, but..."
Guan Ying jumped up from the bed with a somersault: "I'll go... I'll go down right away!"
When I hurried to the front desk, a driver was already waiting there with the car keys in hand. He was driving a van that the hotel used to pick up guests.
The driver wasn't impatient at all. He'd seen this kind of thing many times. He glanced at Guan Ying in the passenger seat and saw her sullen expression. He consoled her, saying, "It's good that she didn't hit anyone or cause any trouble. It's better than having us go to the police station to pick someone up!"
Guan Ying suddenly felt ashamed. Thinking of how Zheng Juyong had gone to the police station to pick her up, she immediately felt that she was indebted.
When they arrived at the bar, it was already closed. Outside the door, at the scattered tables and chairs on the street, two young men who probably worked in the bar were looking at Zheng Juyong, one on each side.
Zheng Juyong was lying on the table, talking nonsense, with some of his personal belongings placed behind his head, including a room card.
"Hello, hello, I'm the hotel's driver, and this is his friend. Sorry, sorry." The driver came out, took out two cigarettes, and handed them to the two young men.
One of the young men waved his hands repeatedly: "We don't smoke. If he didn't have your hotel room card, we would have sent him to the police station. It's good that you are here, and we can get off work early. By the way, our boss asked you to settle the bill." As he spoke, he took out a list from the table and handed it to Guan Ying.
Guan Ying quickly scanned the code, paid the fee, and of course also gave a little extra tip.
The two young men and the driver helped to stuff Zheng Juyong into the back seat of the van.
When they arrived at the hotel, thanks to the driver, he carried him on his back and all the way back to the room.
If the driver had not been experienced and provided both manpower and car tonight, she might not have been able to bring him back. Following the rules abroad, she quickly took out a few banknotes and stuffed them into the chest pocket of the driver's shirt.
"Oh, no, no, we don't have this rule. This is all work, no, no." The driver was honest and took out the money again.
Guan Ying pushed him back, "Brother, he vomited all over the back seat of your car, and you have to pick up passengers tomorrow, so you'll have to clean up tonight. This is my cleaning fee, you must accept it! It's the middle of the night, and we're really sorry to bother you. "
When the driver heard her say this, he stopped refusing. When he was leaving, he heard Zheng Juyong mumbling that he wanted to go to the bathroom, so he kindly helped Zheng Juyong up from the bed and personally took him to the bathroom before leaving.
After seeing the driver off and closing the door, Guan Ying leaned against the wall, exhausted. Even though the driver had been helping her along the way, she couldn't completely ignore him. Even when she was helping out, she'd also been a bit tired.
I looked up to check the time, it was already past midnight...
Guan Ying rested against the wall in the corridor for a while. When she heard no more sounds coming from the bathroom, she felt a little worried and asked urgently, "Zheng Juyong, are you ready?" There was no response. "I went in!"
As soon as I opened the door, I saw everything scattered outside the bathtub: shoes, socks, watches, phones, clothes... But there was a naked person curled up in the tub, fast asleep, wearing only a pair of boxers... Fortunately, he didn't have the habit of sleeping naked! Was he using the bathtub as a bed?
The clothes were dirty, so Guan Ying picked them up and threw them into the sink to soak, and then put the remaining items back on the bedside table for him one by one.
After doing all this, she couldn't help but feel that it was really cowardly and inappropriate for him to go out and drink alone at this time. If even she didn't say some things, who else would say them to him?
It was all because his time back home was too limited, leaving him no time to linger. He ran into the bathroom, grabbed the shower head, turned on the cold water, and poured it over Zheng Juyong's head: "Zheng Juyong, look at you! It's already this late, did you come back to drink heavily? Are you good at drinking? You just want to get drunk, right?... You only know how to make your family suffer, right?"
The water jets from the high-pressure showerhead were like thorns, coldly piercing his face and head. Zheng Juyong raised his hands to grab at it, but the bathtub was slippery and he couldn't find any support. Instead, he slid over and was hit by the water jets on his head.
"Puff...ha..." He took a few sips of water in a daze and felt a little breathless. He raised his hands to block the air, but failed, so he had to hug his head and face.
Seeing that he moved, Guan Ying simply turned the water pressure to the maximum and poured it on his palms and elbows.
Zheng Juyong was probably getting impatient and annoyed, so he raised his hand to fight back, and just happened to scratch Guan Ying's nose.
As if she was slapped in the face, Guan Ying felt a sharp pain in her nose, almost causing her to cry.
He hit her, but her eyes were still closed and she knew nothing.
Guan Ying was even more upset. When had the West City bully ever suffered such bullying from Zheng Juyong? He switched the shower head to a water jet mode, pouring water directly onto his eyelids, nostrils, and lips, the softest parts of his body. He sniffed through his sore nose, "You hit me? You're grown up now, and you dare to fight me back..."
Zheng Juyong was drunk and confused, but his body's instinct for survival was strong. In the chaos, he turned his hand and finally grabbed the slippery stick. He twisted it hard, and the water column was indeed deflected. Fearing that the stick would slip out of his hand and the water column would hit his face again, he simply pulled it towards his head, as if trying to uproot it.
What he subconsciously thought of as a "stick" or "tube" was actually her arm; what was bent was actually her wrist.
He knocked the high-pressure showerhead over into the bathtub, facing upwards, and the water jet hit Guan Ying's shoulder and then rebounded onto his stomach...
Guan Ying was unable to dodge the water column in time and was pulled by him. She had no choice but to use her other hand to support the bathtub. In an instant, her entire upper body slipped and fell on him.
Zheng Juyong frowned when he was hit, and frantically tried to "pull out the tube" with his other hand. He grabbed her other hand that was supporting herself, pulled it up to her head, and dragged her onto his body.
"Zheng Juyong! Are you awake? You stink, did you know that?" Guan Ying struggled with her legs still curled up on the edge of the bathtub. The weight of her body pressed down on her upper body, squeezing against him. It was really embarrassing. "Let go! Open your eyes and look at who I am!"
After repeatedly calling out to him, Zheng Juyong actually opened his eyes, his gaze meeting her red nose and plump lips...
Because the shower head was squeezed to the side by the two people, it was like a small fountain, spraying on the wall of the bathtub on the opposite side, and splashing water again, constantly hitting Guan Ying's hair on the back of her head.
The water flowed to her mouth and nose, then trickled down his cheeks, neck, ears, head, and back... It was hazy, like being in a stream, the person before him shrouded in mist...
Hesitantly, he loosened his grip.
Guan Ying hurried to get out of the bathtub, pressing her hands against the two corners of the tub beside his head. Although it was still slippery, the corners provided some resistance. With a push of her waist, she pulled herself away from him. With the support of her legs and the outside of the tub rim, she could turn over and stand up.
Her long hair was soaked, and the wet ends brushed against his eyelashes and eyebrows...
"Wow!"
Zheng Juyong tilted his chin upwards, raised his hands, grabbed her from behind her waist, and pulled her into the bathtub.
Afraid that she would hit her face when she fell, he slightly turned his body, rolled her to the side, and let her fall face to the side. He placed one arm behind her waist and moved the other arm behind her head, curling her up in his arms.
He flipped the showerhead over his back, and the water splashed down his back and flowed into Guan Ying's abdomen, feeling cool and making her hold it in. He avoided the pressure of the water and pressed forward as well.
She was wearing a thin summer shirt, which was soaked through, but it felt like nothing. She could clearly feel the heat in his abdomen. Guan Ying blushed and was speechless for a moment.
He stared into her eyes, blinking dreamily. It was unclear whether it was water or tears, but it flowed from the corners of his eyes and dripped onto her lips...
There was a hint of saltiness... Guan Ying's heart tightened for some reason, and she stared into his eyes, trying to understand what was flowing from his eyes...
After staring at each other for a long time, he finally lowered his head slowly and kissed her eyes lightly.
Guan Ying came to her senses when her beard pricked her nose. She slapped him aside and said, "Look carefully at who I am this time. I'm not Qiao Qi."
She wanted to get up, but he turned over and pressed on her: "Didn't you say you wanted to have my child?"
Guan Ying was frightened. She had said that to get him out of this mess as soon as possible, so how could he take it seriously? Her body couldn't help but tremble, and her mind was in a mess and about to explode!
"I cherish you so much, why do you treat me like this?" Zheng Juyong's eyes became wet again. This time she saw clearly that they were tears...
Ah, he was in a daze and still mistook himself for Qiao Qi.
Before I could even explain, his attitude suddenly changed. With bloodshot eyes, he leaned in and pressed down on me, "Who am I in your eyes? It's been over four years. Don't you have any love for me at all? I don't believe you were just acting, using me!"
He had just been staring at me with tears in his eyes. Was he thinking about this? Oh, this love-brain!
When he had kissed her eyes just now, he had been very gentle; but when he kissed her again now, it was as if he was mad.
It's not quite right to call it a kiss, it's more like biting, and his beard pricked her face so much that it hurt... She was not satisfied with his kissing skills to begin with, and now it hurt even more.
"Ugh!" There was a fishy and salty taste. He bit my lower lip hard and blood flowed out.
He is crazy, he is really drunk and crazy!
Guan Ying grabbed around and finally pulled the high-pressure nozzle from behind him, and hit him hard on the back of his shoulder blade. Only then did he loosen his teeth, and spat out a mouthful of blood with a wicked smile.
Guan Ying took this opportunity, raised her knee, and thrust it hard between his legs.
She never imagined that one day, she would actually use this trick on Zheng Juyong! Unfortunately, the bathtub wasn't big, and before she could reach the desired position, she was blocked by the bathtub wall halfway, hitting her knee. But he was still hit a little by her, and they both bent over in pain.
Guan Ying jumped out of the bathtub and hurriedly hopped out on one foot.
She had overestimated his endurance. This was probably the first time Zheng Juyong had ever suffered such a huge injustice. A first heartbreak was the most painful thing, so perhaps he had already become psychologically twisted! He had just smiled so creepily, biting his own blood, as if he wanted to eat someone, as if he wanted to die together!
This is not the Zheng Juyong she knows!
