Chapter 395: Evil (24)
The rain under the eaves is cool.
Just like the indifference to the point of ruthlessness in the boy's eyes, Zhan Qi lowered his eyes and looked down at the nervous Qiao Xi beside him, his gaze lingering for a moment on the girl's white knuckles as she gripped the umbrella.
She didn't leave early.
Was it intentional? Was she waiting for him?
Zhan Qi's eyes were slightly deep, and there was a hint of strange emotions in the depths of his pupils. It was hard to explain what this feeling was, but after knowing this.
That feeling of irritability for no reason.
It seems to have calmed down a little.
Zhan Qi raised his hand and stroked the girl's face. His movements were extremely gentle, unlike the rough ones he had used before. His actions also made Qiao Xi's body stiffen instantly.
The girl was trembling slightly.
She looked clearly terrified, but she still pretended to be calm and looked up at him.
only.
When Qiao Xi visibly met those dark, deep eyes, she flinched. The man's gaze was cold, yet calm. Beneath this calm exterior lay a hidden storm.
Just like the rain that is gradually getting heavier.
When the dull, strange and strong sense of oppression enveloped him, all that was left was bone-chilling chill and coldness.
The girl was trapped in such an atmosphere.
There is nowhere to hide and nowhere to escape.
He caressed Qiao Xi's cheek with the intimacy of a lover, and his unprecedented tenderness made the girl feel palpitating and frightened.
Like the brief calm before an execution is announced.
Every minute and every second passes.
They are all squeezing the heart and stretching the tense nerves with the greatest possible intensity of stimulation.
Qiao Xi's heart was pounding.
It was not caused by excitement or shyness, but by the fear of falling into an extremely cold ice cellar.
Zhan Qi's hand suddenly stopped.
Not a ray of light could penetrate his dark eyes, just like a remote and deep mountain forest shrouded in the night, covered only by the long night.
Only what is left.
There was only the chill of the sudden drop in temperature at night, and the loneliness and coldness, without a trace of human touch.
Just like this sudden downpour.
The noisy sound of rain was no longer a pleasant melody, it was frantic and out of control, instantly igniting all the emotions hidden in his eyes.
Zhan Qi suddenly chuckled.
His deep and magnetic voice can easily make young girls fall in love with him.
only.
What he said made Qiao Xi feel a chill down her spine.
"Did you let him touch you?"
There was no questioning tone as expected, and it was so calm that it could even be said that it was not like Zhan Qi's behavior.
But the next second.
The hand that was originally caressing the girl's face slid down and accurately pinched Qiao Xi's neck.
He seemed to be trying his best to endure it.
The veins on the back of his hand throbbed, and the fierceness in his cold eyes deepened. Even though he tried his best to control his strength, he still pinched the girl's white neck tightly.
Qiao Xi's pupils contracted in an instant.
The air seemed to become thinner in an instant, and Zhan Qi was pinching her throat.
On the contrary, I can feel it more clearly.
The girl's warm skin and the beating of her pulse. He could easily pinch her slender neck with one hand.
The throat is stuck.
A strong sour and nauseous feeling surged up from her stomach. The girl's pink lips slightly opened. She could hardly control the strong feeling of nausea and wanted to retch.
Seeing Qiao Xidai's frown.
She looked so painful that her pretty face even turned red.
Zhan Qi's heart suddenly ached for no apparent reason, and an unknown panic instantly struck his brain. The inexplicable palpitations made him involuntarily loosen the strength in his hands, slowing down a lot.
The air became full again.
In just a short moment, Qiao Xi was pulled back from the brink of life and death, and immediately struggled out of his hands.
I subconsciously covered my neck.
She gasped for breath and looked in shock at Zhan Qi, whose expression made her feel extremely unfamiliar.
The boy was caught off guard and met her beautiful eyes.
Seeing the fear and panic in Qiao Xi's eyes, there were many more unspeakable emotions, deep fear when facing him.
Zhan Qi's chest suddenly felt a little stuffy.
Dull pain.
Waves of pain came, but he could control himself and ignore this slight pain.
All the violent emotions flooded into my brain.
As he watched Qiao Xi retreat in fear and avoid him, his anxiety grew stronger.
“…”
Zhan Qi hated that Qiao Xi was afraid of him.
Ever since he forcibly took possession of her, Qiao Xi had always been timid and cautious when facing him, afraid of angering him in the slightest.
Like a puppet.
A doll without any emotion, who can only be manipulated by others.
No resistance.
There was no struggle.
He thought Qiao Xi would resist violently and struggle, but that night, she seemed to struggle in vain, and just closed her eyes in pain and shed tears silently.
And after that.
Her temperament changed drastically, as if she was a completely different person.
Is it necessary to be so scared?
Afraid of him?
Zhan Qi always thought of Qiao Xi's extreme resistance, yet she still gritted her teeth and silently endured his violence. The joy she had felt before now felt somewhat hollow and boring.
like.
Only when he possessed Qiao Xi could he relieve his unreasonable anxiety.
He saw Yu Zhi touching Qiao Xi's cheek.
I saw the girl's expression was a little surprised.
But it's rare.
Although there was reluctance and dissatisfaction in Qiao Xi's eyes, it was not like when she faced him, when there was only emptiness and numbness.
When facing depression.
There was still some light in her eyes, some life and energy.
Just now too.
When Qiao Xi ran downstairs to find him, she was obviously very scared, but she still mustered up the courage to talk to him.
But now.
This one action seemed to instantly pull the distance and relationship between the two back to an even colder freezing point than before.
Zhan Qi realized this belatedly.
The hands hanging at his sides were clenched into fists.
The soft touch of the girl's neck just now seemed to still linger in his palm. The scorching temperature seemed to burn into his heart.
Qiao Xi covered her neck and trembled.
I couldn't even stand steadily.
There were obvious bright red fingerprints on her neck, and her disordered breathing calmed down.
but.
Her body was shaking from exhaustion due to fear, and she could only lean on the wall to keep her balance.
Zhan Qi pursed his lips.
He subconsciously reached out his hand and wanted to help Qiao Xi up.
However.
He had just made a move, but the girl seemed to be stimulated. She instantly hugged her arms tightly as if facing a great enemy and leaned against the wall, curling up her petite body and squatting in the corner, shivering.
“No, don’t…”
Broken and weak syllables escaped intermittently from her trembling lips.
Zhan Qi's heart suddenly tightened.
He stopped his hand abruptly in mid-air, his dark eyes seemed to have lost their uncontrolled rage as he looked at the frail girl who was huddled in a dirty corner, not caring about her image, and subconsciously hugging herself tightly and shivering.
Qiao Xi's face was pale.
Her beautiful misty almond eyes were filled with tears. She had originally clenched the umbrella in her hand, intending to go back with the boy under it.
I don’t know when.
He fell to the ground not far away.
The girl's emotions seemed to have never been so strong as they are now. The trauma in her heart was like a hole that slowly corroded her, making her fragile, sensitive and inferior.
And all this.
They were all given by Zhan Qi himself.
His Adam's apple rolled with difficulty, and his voice was inexplicably hoarse and dry: "Qiao Xi..."
But the girl seemed not to hear.
She just kept her head down and huddled in the corner, hiding in a place she thought was safe, completely refusing to communicate.
"Don't be afraid of me, okay?"
Zhan Qi came in front of her and completely blocked out the dim light in front of her eyes.
Qiao Xi didn't dare look at him.
Zhan Qi squatted down in front of her and forcefully pulled away the girl's protective hand. A flicker of sadness seemed to flash across the boy's dark eyes. However, this emotion was too fleeting.
It was soon lost in the usual calm sight.
The girl didn't react to his words.
Zhan Qi frowned slightly, forcefully pulled her hands apart and pressed them hard against the wall, then leaned over and kissed her soft lips.
It was getting dark outside.
Mixed with the incessant downpour, the noisy sound of the rain wasn't particularly aesthetically pleasing. Lightning streaked through the pitch-black clouds, briefly ripping the dark sky apart.
He was kissing her.
The kiss mixed with the girl's tears was bitter. Zhan Qi's lips were a little dry, and when they touched Qiao Xi's lips, they rubbed them and made her lips hurt.
The girl's tears fell.
She didn't resist or react.
Passively enduring and passively accepting it seemed to have become an instinct, slowly being etched into her bones.
Zhan Qi kissed her.
That unprecedented strange sense of satisfaction gradually soothed his irritable heart and slowly filled the cracked hole in his heart.
He didn't know what was wrong with him.
I don’t understand either.
What is this feeling of irritability that arises when facing Qiao Xi?
He hated Qiao Xi's submissiveness.
He also hated her for insisting on being that hypocritical good person, even wanting to pull him out of the swamp, and for accepting the change of identity so quickly for this "stranger" who appeared out of nowhere.
He is annoying.
Not only did he hate such a terrible family background, he also hated Qiao Xi for accepting all of this so quickly.
Shouldn't she resist?
For a person with such an ugly face, he could accept the other person's identity as his stepfather so quickly.
Shouldn't she be disgusted?
For this monotonous and unchanging life, for every day when I am taken for granted and ordered around like a free nanny or maid.
Why?
Zhan Qi never understood what Qiao Xi did.
I don't understand why Qiao Xi went out of her way to buy medicine for him and keep a small medicine box at home. I also don't understand why Qiao Xi got up early every day and left him a breakfast.
He is the type of person who doesn't eat breakfast.
I didn’t eat breakfast and didn’t get up so early in the past.
When he saw the breakfast and note that Qiao Xi left for him that day, he wanted to just throw away what the girl had made.
But he didn't do that.
I always feel like after doing that.
One day in the future, you may regret it.
When such a ridiculous idea comes up.
Zhan Qi just sneered.
I didn't pay much attention to this subtle feeling.
The more Qiao Xi treated him, the more intense this subtle strange feeling in his heart, which he could have ignored before, became.
Fresh meals are specially prepared in the evening.
She also sacrificed her rest time to tutor him.
Zhan Qi also acted indifferent.
He also made things difficult for Qiao Xi every day, deliberately ignoring her words and not listening to her explanations. He would repeatedly ask about a certain knowledge point and claim that he didn't understand it.
Then.
He looked at the girl again, sighed slightly, drank some water, and continued to patiently tell him over and over again.
No matter what.
It seemed like Qiao Xi would never get angry, and she could quickly accept any unfair treatment towards her.
Zhan Qi spoke from the bottom of his heart.
I hate her for being like this, and I hate her for being willing to play the role of a 'good girl' in everyone's eyes.
so.
He ruined Qiao Xi.
As he had hoped, he saw the girl finally have a mental breakdown and start to have a different expression.
