Chapter 525: The Favorite of the Entertainment Circle (44)
"Hmm? Really?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xi smiled, turned off the shower, and half-knelt down to look the man leaning against the wall at eye level.
"Mr. Yu is really good at making nice words."
She was like a kitten that had gotten away with a mischief.
The lazy and joyful ending tone was mixed with the girl's somewhat teasing smile. Qiao Xi's pair of clear and beautiful eyes like glass sparkled like gems in the misty water vapor and hazy lights.
Undisguised.
A gaze filled with inquiry and curiosity fell on Yu Jinnian.
It's like looking at some rare object.
"You're clearly the one at a disadvantage, yet you still haven't forgotten your superior attitude as the one in power? Mr. Yu always wears such a hypocritical mask, which always makes people feel a little annoyed."
Qiao Xi muttered depressedly in her sweet voice.
She did not avoid Yu Jinnian.
The man heard every word of these words, and Yu Jinnian's eyes darkened at this moment, glancing at her with a warning.
It seemed that as long as Qiao Xi said one more word.
Yu Jinnian would cut her into pieces.
However, when his gaze fell into Qiao Xi's eyes, it made the smile on the girl's lips even brighter and more joyful. Her words came along with a low laugh as clear and light as a silver bell.
"This seems to be very useful."
Her slender hand reached for the man's waist, and she groped over with familiarity, and soon touched the pistol that Yu Jinnian carried with him.
When Qiao Xi pulled it out from his waist.
Yu Jinnian's pupils suddenly contracted, and the next second he saw Qiao Xi pointing the gun at him, pulling the bolt and pulling the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang--!"
The recoil of the gun didn't seem to affect the girl at all; her hand remained steady, unwavering. A bullet fired, piercing Yu Jinnian's flesh with pinpoint accuracy at close range.
A sudden sharp pain came.
In contrast to the rising body temperature caused by the hot water, Yu Jinnian began to sweat on his forehead. He could feel something slowly seeping out of his body.
I'm afraid it won't be long.
It will soon spread into a large area.
"Mr. Yu, I didn't hit him directly in the fatal area. However, if he was hit by a bullet and not treated in time, he would probably die from excessive blood loss."
Qiao Xi stood facing him with one arm folded.
The girl hooked the trigger guard with her slender fingers and turned it, as if the gun might go off accidentally if she wasn't careful.
There is an influx of guns overseas.
Yu Jinnian and his team naturally obtained it legally, and they probably used it more than once.
"cough……"
Yu Jinnian's eyes were dark as he felt the blood gushing out of his body. He coughed weakly. Just this one action actually increased the bleeding.
At this time he discovered.
Qiao Xi really dared and was able to do it.
"Does it hurt?"
Qiao Xi put down the pistol and turned to touch Yu Jinnian's shirt which had already been soaked.
The man looked up at her speechlessly.
The anger and darkness in his eyes were like a dark wave, ready to swallow Qiao Xi. However, facing such a terrifying gaze, Qiao Xi seemed to be oblivious to it. Instead, she remained calm as she violently tore open Yu Jinnian's shirt and bandaged him to stop the bleeding.
"Unfortunately, I studied medicine before and have extensive clinical experience."
The girl had just finished speaking.
Yu Jinnian's body stiffened slightly, and finally the man's stiff shoulders slowly relaxed, and he asked in a hoarse and weak voice.
"...What do you want?"
Yu Jinnian felt that he had heard the hidden meaning in her words.
Is Qiao Xi threatening him? It can keep him hanging and torture him.
The girl tilted her head and thought for a while, pretending to be troubled and looking innocent.
But unfortunately.
The loose bathrobe she wore made her look even smaller, and the faint glimpse of her shoulders, which was barely visible when she caught a glimpse of her, and her snow-white skin, tinged with a faint pink, made Yu Jinnian's mouth dry.
"Hmm—maybe he wanted to repay Mr. Yu double for what he did to me."
The little girl muttered this.
She also glanced sideways at him, whose bleeding had stopped but whose face was pale but still tied up.
"……What?"
Yu Jinnian didn't react for a moment, and his slow brain couldn't begin to interpret the girl's words.
It was at this time.
He saw Qiao Xi reaching out to him and touching his trousers which were completely wet.
"Just play around, Mr. Yu, do you understand?"
The girl half-crouched on the ground, propping up her cheek with boredom, even yawning lazily. However, the hand that was now free to torment him was not vague at all, and her behavior was casual and unfocused.
But it maintains a delicate balance frequency.
"you……"
Yu Jinnian's brows knitted together, the intense pain from the bullet piercing his body still lingering. And above this pain, a subtle, strange feeling that had always been there, and was about to disappear, lingered.
soon.
It was provoked again.
Beneath the pain caused by the bullet and the bandaged wound, it was even more ferocious than before.
There is no direct contact.
There was even some distance between the two of them.
Qiao Xi was merely tugging at his thoroughly soaked trousers; even his belt was still intact. However, the girl saw every change in Yu Jinnian.
The pain mixed with disordered breathing became more and more intense.
The veins on the back of Yu Jinnian's hands throbbed with blood, and the muscles in his arms tensed as he tried to break free from the ropes that bound him. However, as soon as he moved, the wound pierced by the bullet tore open again, and blood gushed out.
The intense pain it brings.
And as he lost blood, his face became paler.
"Mr. Yu, are you looking for death?"
The girl who was teasing him slowly and steadily didn't even bother to give him a look of pity. Only the careless voice that sounded gradually cut off Yu Jinnian's sanity.
"It's about time you stopped."
The man's deep voice held a hint of threat, and Yu Jinnian's usually calm and composed face was now tinged with an unnatural expression. His slightly frail and pale complexion shattered his usual air of reserved restraint.
Like a puppet being manipulated by others.
And Qiao Xi was indeed playing with him wantonly, and was even more happy to observe his gloomy expression as he endured silence at this moment.
The man's soaked clothes stuck to his body, and the fabric that was completely soaked with water became heavy. He could feel the heavy discomfort brought by the wet suit with the slightest movement.
Part of Qiao Xi's bathrobe also fell to the ground.
The soft fabric was soaked with water, and the hem became a little heavy. While dragging a little, it also slipped a little from the girl's shoulders.
Qiao Xi remained unmoved.
She just half-crouched aside, fiddling with her hands, and looked at him leisurely. Without hot water, the originally warm temperature gradually cooled down.
The wet clothes next to your skin make you feel the cold even more.
"Mr. Yu, you'll catch a cold like this."
Qiao Xi half-knelt beside the man, supporting her cheek and looking at him who was struggling to hold on. There seemed to be some worry in the girl's innocent words, but she was holding the man's hand and had not let go for the time being.
Qiao Xi pulled him.
"Get up first? Go out and change clothes, and then treat your wound."
Untie the ropes that bind your legs and regain your freedom.
Yu Jinnian did not take any action.
He just looked at her silently, his dark eyes hiding suppressed pain and burning heat. He tried his best to restrain himself, but there was no way he could do it.
Qiao Xi helped him a little.
He slowly stood up against the wall, his chest rising and falling slightly along with his disordered breathing, making his face look even paler.
Yu Jinnian’s current condition is really not good.
His steps were unsteady.
The soaked clothes felt heavy on my body, and cold water droplets dripped down my trouser legs.
The water droplets dripped into shoes and socks.
Yu Jinnian, wearing a pair of high-end leather shoes, took a more steady step than usual and was led out by Qiao Xiweiwei.
The girl rummaged through his body to find the key and opened the door.
Yu Jinnian's eyes darkened as he watched her actions.
The girl opened the basement door and walked him out. After looking around, she tilted her head slightly and looked at him: "Where is Mr. Yu's bedroom?"
A light and lively voice came, bringing Yu Jinnian back to his senses.
The man was silent for a while.
He pursed his lips calmly and looked at Qiao Xi's bright smile. When he met her clear eyes, the slightly unnatural feeling in his heart began to emerge again.
"upstairs."
As if he was hiding his emotions, Yu Jinnian's voice sounded extremely flat.
But when the girl glanced at him with a slightly surprised look, she immediately understood and nodded.
"good."
Qiao Xi took one end of the rope.
Yu Jinnian's bedroom was very clean, with very few items placed there. His clothes were neatly stored together, unlike the usual messy scenes you might imagine in a man's room.
There is also a bathroom here.
But it’s a little different from Qiao Xi’s side. Yu Jinnian’s side doesn’t have a shower head, but a bathtub.
The bathroom space is also very spacious.
The European-style lamp above emitted a soft, pale orange glow, casting a shadow over the large, porcelain-white bathtub. Qiao Xi pondered for a moment before turning on the hot water.
From the small box next to it.
Take out an indigo-blue and bluish-white bath ball and throw it into the hot water. The water surface is like melted oil paint, and is soon dyed with gorgeous colors.
The petals hidden inside the sphere are scattered and floating.
A faint floral scent also spread.
Qiao Xi had left the pistol in the basement, and Yu Jinnian was still tied up like this. The girl leaned over, slowly extended her fair little hand to touch him, and began to unbuckle the man's belt.
"what you do?"
Yu Jinnian's voice was low, and his eyes warned her not to act rashly. Looking at Qiao Xi's actions, his already pale face took on an unnatural crimson hue due to a hint of anger.
And correspondingly.
He also felt increasingly uncomfortable.
He didn't want Qiao Xi to see him in such a miserable state.
"I always feel like Mr. Yu might catch a cold, so maybe taking a bath would be better. But I'm also worried that Mr. Yu might hurt me, so I'll keep my hands tied. I'll help you appropriately."
The little girl tilted her head.
He looked quite innocent when he said this, as if he had no bad intentions and was speaking entirely out of concern for his own safety.
at the same time.
She is also expressing her concern in her own way.
But Yu Jinnian couldn't calm down after hearing her say this. His body was already heating up unnaturally due to being soaked in cold water, and Qiao Xi hadn't let go of him before.
lead to……
It's a bit embarrassing for the time being.
Now Qiao Xi felt that he would catch a cold if he got wet and needed to take a shower, and she also felt that if she untied his hands, the girl herself would be in danger.
So this is the way to go?
For a while.
Yu Jinnian's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and a wave of unprecedented complex emotions surged up at this moment. He had never been treated like this before, let alone lived in such humiliation.
before.
He is the one who controls the life and death of others.
The fate of those who fell into his hands was determined by just a word from him.
But now.
His pride and self-esteem were being trampled upon by Qiao Xi in this way, even though the girl who was holding him hostage was doing so out of kindness. Even though the little bit of resistance Qiao Xi had given him was less than a third of what he had done when he ordered others to kidnap Qiao Xi.
The rich and sweet fragrance of flowers wafts in the air.
In this bathroom that Yu Jinnian was extremely familiar with, his own bathroom.
Qiao Xi threw away the clothes that were completely soaked.
He restrained his movements again, retied the rope that bound him, and adjusted the position of his hands from behind his back to in front of his body.
so.
The space for movement is also a little larger, so it is not as uncomfortable as being tied behind the back all the time.
Yu Jinnian sat in the bathtub.
The aroma of essential oils, along with the rich floral scent of the bath bomb, filled my nostrils. Qiao Xi had made thorough preparations. The water level and temperature had been carefully considered, providing just the right comfort.
But Yu Jinnian's whole body was stiff.
Just because...
The girl, dressed neatly in a bathrobe, was standing next to the bathtub, holding a medicine box that she had found in his room and putting it aside. She was checking the part of his body where he was shot.
The little girl almost fell over.
Yu Jinnian only felt that after soaking in the hot water, his body temperature seemed to become a little higher, and some strange changes in his emotions became more and more obvious.
He deliberately wanted to hide his abnormality.
So he lowered his head slightly and said nothing.
Yu Jinnian's medicine box was quite well stocked.
Perhaps it is because we often encounter emergencies, so we can respond to such situations in a timely manner.
Qiao Xi still held back a bit.
The bullet went straight into him. When she touched Yu Jinnian and bandaged the man, she also used some healing magic to stop the bleeding and repair it.
but.
It takes time to remove the bullet.
Yu Jinnian felt the pain in the places touched by Qiao Xi was almost completely numb. He was shot, hit by Qiao Xi.
Now the girl touches again.
The pain consumed his mind and nerves, making it almost impossible to feel. The wound didn't touch the water, only a numb pain spread.
Just feel.
Something cold and sharp seemed to come towards me, and then gradually cut me apart.
Yu Jinnian also frowned at this time.
My body stiffened for a moment.
By this time, the pain he could feel became clearer.
Qiao Xi, who had already started using the tools in his medical kit, noticed his reaction and lowered her eyes to glance at the man beside her.
"There's no anesthesia. Remember not to move around, Mr. Yu. It'll be quick."
She did not use conventional treatment.
It's just a matter of pretending so that Yu Jinnian can feel it. Magic is more convenient and safer than removing the bullet, and it can also avoid infection.
If she wants to.
Yu Jinnian's injury healed in an instant.
After all, this is the world of the sea people.
The first thing she learned was healing magic, in order to save the male protagonist in the original plot. She pulled him back from the brink of death and made him full of health and alive again, so she has this magic that she learned.
More than enough to deal with such an injury.
Yu Jinnian probably knew what she was doing, but he felt that Qiao Xi was really careless.
Or in other words.
Qiao Xi didn't care about his life at all, and he had no choice but to obey Qiao Xi. After all, if Qiao Xi attacked him now, he would not even notice.
If the wound becomes infected.
Or if the situation becomes more serious, it is hard to say what impact or sequelae it will have in the future.
This feeling of being controlled and powerless is not pleasant.
Yu Jinnian felt as if each passing second seemed infinitely longer. Fortunately, the pain had long since consumed his reason and thoughts. After the extreme pain, he became numb, unable to feel anything at all.
so.
When Qiao Xi stopped, Yu Jinnian had not yet recovered from the fact that she had left.
"The bullet has been removed."
The girl said so.
A small white hand also came around in front of him, and in the palm of Qiao Xi's hand lay a bullet that Yu Jinnian was familiar with.
It was used for his gun.
Yu Jinnian couldn't see his own injuries, but Qiao Xi could.
Completely healed wound.
There is no sign of injury. It was just a little healing magic, but the effect was so powerful.
But this is too obvious.
Qiao Xi was a little hesitant, wondering whether to bandage Yu Jinnian tightly again.
Thinking about this problem.
She also wiped Yu Jinnian's back. Since Yu Jinnian couldn't move his hands, she just wiped and washed him casually.
Yu Jinnian was originally still immersed in the pain brought by the wound.
Regarding Qiao Xi taking out the bullet.
Still a little numb, he just sat there motionless until the girl finished her work and started to pay attention to him.
Yu Jinnian's thoughts had already drifted away.
But under the girl's gentle touch, he was gradually pulled back. The burning pain near the wound had not yet subsided, but Yu Jinnian felt the girl's soft and cold fingers touching him carefully.
She stroked it with some warm water.
Miraculously, Yu Jinnian did not feel any pain coming from the wound, but instead felt a subtle itchy sensation spreading.
The place that has been touched.
The tense muscles in his body began to relax gradually. Qiao Xi's hands seemed to have magical powers. The touch that was neither light nor heavy unconsciously loosened his tense heartstrings.
He didn't want to care about Qiao Xi.
I don't want to pay attention to what the girl is busy with.
But my thoughts always involuntarily focus on the past, and I can't help but feel what Qiao Xi is doing and how she touches me.
Yu Jinnian could sense that she was being a little perfunctory.
However, at this moment he couldn't help but care about Qiao Xi's every move and feel the touch of the girl's soft and slender hand.
Heat to boiling water temperature.
It was like he was being burned, and his own temperature was rising uncontrollably.
The man frowned slightly.
Gradually, she began to feel a little uncomfortable with Qiao Xi's slow approach to cleaning. Qiao Xi was busy transferring some water from the bath ball over. When she was almost done, she was ready to replace the water with clean water.
However.
As the water level gradually receded, she happened to catch a glimpse of Yu Jinnian's somewhat unnaturally red ears. When she glanced towards the man, Qiao Xi was slightly stunned.
"Mr. Yu..."
The girl opened her red lips slightly and looked at him with some surprise in her beautiful eyes.
But before she could finish her words, the man turned his head when he heard her voice. His slightly exasperated voice, mixed with impatience that he had not been able to conceal, stopped her from continuing the conversation.
"...Shut up, just do what you want."
Yu Jinnian closed his eyes.
A deep voice escaped from his thin lips, but it lacked his usual composure and calmness. The slightly trembling voice betrayed his restlessness at this moment.
Qiao Xi narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly.
The girl leaned over slightly and placed her delicate hands on the man's strong shoulders.
"Really? Anything is fine?"
She asked this with a smile on her face, and leaned close to the man's ear to whisper, as if she was whispering.
A warm breath that is accidentally scattered.
It fell on his ears and went straight to his heart. It also made Yu Jinnian's heartstrings tremble slightly at this moment, and what followed was more passionate emotions that he could not explain or describe.
“…”
The man didn't say anything, but just pursed his thin lips.
He looked away somewhat unnaturally, but the bound hands honestly grabbed Qiao Xi's hands underwater and held them tightly, then brought the girl's soft little hands closer.
"Mr. Yu?"
When Qiao Xi's slightly surprised voice came, Yu Jinnian's lips trembled slightly as he whispered: "Stop talking nonsense, just wash it if you want to..."
He held Qiao Xi's hand tightly and did not let go.
The drooping eyelashes also obscured some of the light in the dark pupils, blocking the unknown emotions that spread.
Somewhat clumsy.
He held the girl's wrist tightly and didn't let go. Even though she was covered and tied up, he still acted stubbornly and didn't reduce his toughness at all.
Is it because the self-esteem of the superior does not allow it?
Or say.
Are you not used to seeing yourself like this?
After all, Yu Jinnian had always been in the dominant position, and it had always been him who decided whether or not to embrace a woman. He had never been in such a passive position before, and even if strange thoughts were playing tricks on him now, he didn't dare to admit it.
Not frank at all.
"Mr. Yu, do you like it?" Qiao Xi didn't touch it and deliberately avoided it.
Clean water begins to wash away the foam.
Yu Jinnian raised his eyes to look at her, an unknown emotion flashed across his dark pupils, as if he felt a little uncomfortable because the girl had left him alone like this.
He lowered his head.
Looking at myself in a daze.
After a long while, he replied with an awkward and embarrassed "hmm".
"Then be self-sufficient. I don't have the time to play with Mr. Yu."
The girl stood by with one arm folded.
He just stretched out his hand to test the water temperature, then lazily leaned aside and watched, with no intention of moving at all.
"Why?"
At this time, Yu Jinnian finally found his voice and turned his head to look at her.
There was an undisguised passion in those eyes.
Qiao Xi leaned aside with one arm folded.
She sneered sarcastically as if she had heard a joke.
"Do you think everyone would be happy? Now that I'm no longer passive, there's naturally no need to cater to your requests. Besides... I'm not sure if Mr. Yu would still like it if I changed the way I do it."
