Chapter 79: Marry Me
Yes, Chenping didn't actually go to Yunnan. All the photos were photoshopped by 0527 at her request, because she was worried about potential problems.
Qi Shaoyou doesn't leave this city, so how could she dare to go out and have fun? If she could, she would rather use this time to be with her wife.
She had already delayed Qi Shaoyou's attempts to hail several taxis, and then she forcibly started halfway through Shen Mingjiao's emotional journey.
As soon as she arrived, she heard Shen Mingjiao crying and saw Qi Shaoyou about to get off the bus.
Chen Ping awkwardly hid, trying to blend into the corner of the tour group and become an inconspicuous tourist.
This is a small, still-operating pier, with relatively low foot traffic; it mainly consists of tour groups bringing tourists to take boat trips. So, Chenping actually managed to sneak in...
"Thank you." Qi Shaoyou got out of the car and thanked the driver. After being stood up several times, the last driver to accept his fare was a woman.
She drove very smoothly the whole way, without any road rage, and the car smelled nice. When the taxi couldn't drive all the way in, the driver apologized to Qi Shaoyou.
Qi Shaoyou didn't think much of it; walking around for a while wasn't a big deal.
Besides, it's only 500 meters from here to the ship hall, so walking there would be a good option.
Another advantage was that she could see the beach not far away from where she was walking. On the white sand, the tide rose and fell. The sunlight was just right, shining on the sea and making it sparkle, as if it were draped in a golden veil.
Seeing this scene before going back to work made Qi Shaoyou feel much more at ease.
She hadn't walked far when Qi Shaoyou spotted a familiar figure from behind. The moment she saw it, she knew it was Shen Mingjiao.
She was wearing a cherry blossom pink coat and white ankle boots as she ran forward.
What brings Shen Mingjiao here?
Before Qi Shaoyou could think things through, he saw Shen Mingjiao, who was running, suddenly fall to the ground. The path they were walking on was paved with cobblestones, so it was inevitably uneven at times.
Shen Mingjiao probably tripped over a protruding pebble, and she immediately struggled to get up.
As she got up, Shen Mingjiao burst into tears. The sound was quite loud, indicating she had fallen very hard.
Qi Shao was still fifty meters away from her when he heard the crying and his heart tightened. Was she injured? Shen Mingjiao was most afraid of pain. Back in that world, she had kowtowed so hard that her forehead was bruised from begging the emperor for a decree, but she had never cried like this.
She rushed forward to check on Shen Mingjiao's wound. How much pain must it have caused the usually proud Shen Mingjiao to cry like this outside?
Shen Mingjiao desperately wanted to get to the destination quickly, but she just couldn't run fast enough. Looking at the tour group in front of her, she couldn't find Qi Shaoyou anywhere.
No, not anywhere... She couldn't find Qi Shaoyou. Shen Mingjiao didn't know what was wrong with her; a thought suddenly popped into her mind that Qi Shaoyou was going to die.
Immediately afterwards, an overwhelming wave of panic and pain gripped her throat. Only one thought occupied her mind: to get here. And then she had to find Qi Shaoyou and prevent him from leaving her.
In her panic, she tripped over a protruding pebble. More painful than the sharp pain in her knee was the pain in Shen Mingjiao's heart.
What if she never finds it? Despair welled up with this thought. She didn't care if there were bystanders; tears and sobbing were not the way she would solve the problem at this moment.
She continued running as fast as she could, but her right leg was noticeably lame, slowing her even further. The more anxious she became, the more tears streamed down her face. At the same time, her sobs, which had started loudly, turned into whimpers.
She had only taken two steps when someone grabbed her arm. Instinctively, Shen Mingjiao tried to shake off the person holding her.
"What could possibly be worth risking your life for? Running away even when you're injured?" Qi Shaoyou stood in front of Shen Mingjiao and pulled her to a stop.
When Qi Shaoyou saw the wound, she gasped in shock.
Shen Mingjiao was wearing a peach-pink short skirt today, and her right knee was covered in a large bruise. Both legs also had small cuts from sand and gravel. Her legs looked absolutely terrible.
"And Shen Mingjiao still wants to run away?" Qi Shaoyou's anger flared. What could be so important that she would ignore her own wounds?
"Don't worry about me..." Shen Mingjiao tried to shake him off, but only managed to say four words in a tearful voice before turning to look at Qi Shaoyou.
The person who grabbed her was none other than the big bad guy she had been thinking about! Shen Mingjiao ignored the pain in her leg and hugged Qi Shaoyou tightly.
The young lady cried again, this time even more bitterly than when she was injured. She had only cried loudly the first time; after that, she had restrained herself.
After crying for about thirty seconds, Shen Mingjiao started acting unreasonably.
"I have money! I have money! You're not allowed to leave! Qi Shaoyou, you're not allowed to leave!"
"You want money? Trade me a permanent tag! Once it's marked, you can have all my money!"
"You can't leave me, not even for a second!"
After finally managing to say a few clear words, Qi Shaoyou was about to explain when he heard the young lady crying in his arms again.
"Okay, okay, you're right..." Qi Shaoyou only had one option: to calm her down first.
"Let's find a place to treat the wound first, okay?" Qi Shaoyou tried to reason with the little crybaby who was crying very sadly.
"Don't... say it again..."
You have to say yes!
After Shen Mingjiao finished speaking, her voice trembled with tears. Her usually proud face now looked pitiful, like a wrinkled little bun.
Even though she was already crying like this, Shen Mingjiao didn't forget her request and insisted that Qi Shaoyou agree to her request.
Well, Qi Shaoyou knew she was out of options with this young lady. If she didn't agree, the young lady would definitely not obediently follow her to treat her wounds. She nodded resignedly.
Qi Shaoyou originally wanted to pick her up directly, but firstly, the injury on her knee might cause Shen Mingjiao more pain if he carried her in a princess carry. Secondly, Shen Mingjiao was wearing a short skirt today, which wasn't suitable for a princess carry.
Qi Shaoyou carefully coaxed the person and helped them slowly move to the ship's hall at the dock.
She initially thought 500 meters wasn't long, but when Qi Shaoyou heard Shen Mingjiao crying and gasping for breath in pain, he realized that 500 meters was far too long.
How could we let this delicate and pitiful little princess suffer like this?
Shen Mingjiao didn't understand why, though she kept thinking, "Qi Shaoyou, don't die," the words that came out of her mouth were, "Qi Shaoyou, don't go."
The usually aloof Miss Shen was now crying her eyes out. Confused by the situation, she gripped Qi Shaoyou's hand tightly.
She didn't care anymore; she was certain she couldn't bear Qi Shaoyou's departure. She accepted it; Shen Mingjiao admitted defeat! She loved money, and she wasn't short of it! She could earn a lot by inheriting the family business.
If you love money, then you should stay by her side even more!
"Don't go!" Shen Mingjiao cried with pain with every step she took, but even in this state, she still kept her eyes on Qi Shaoyou.
"Okay, okay, I won't leave, I won't leave." Qi Shaoyou had truly surrendered to the young lady; he had absolutely no way to deal with Shen Mingjiao. She was like a little kitten, opening her round eyes and using her pink little paws to step on you and prevent you from leaving.
Who can do something about this?
Shen Mingjiao cried all the way from the road outside into the ship's hall.
Qi Shaoyou noticed that Shen Mingjiao's face had turned slightly red. Yes, with such a strong sea breeze and her crying like that, her face was bound to turn red.
When I get home, the wounds on my legs and face will probably hurt for days...
Just thinking about it made Qi Shaoyou feel a little sorry for her. She took out the tissues she carried with her and gently wiped Shen Mingjiao's face, sometimes getting a glare from her if she wiped too hard.
However, seemingly afraid of shooing herself away, she just stared without saying a word.
The usually delicate person, now ignoring the pain in her body, just clung to Qi Shaoyou, glaring at her while crying pitifully.
Finally, they arrived at the ship's hall and found chairs. Qi Shaoyou carefully helped the person to a chair.
Qi Shaoyou got up to get the emergency medical kit from the staff. As soon as she stood up, she found that she couldn't move her legs; Shen Mingjiao was hugging her waist.
"Don't go..." Shen Mingjiao's face was covered in tears, as if she was begging and pleading.
"I'm just going to get a first-aid kit. Don't you need to treat your leg injury?" Qi Shaoyou said helplessly. Shen Mingjiao was really clinging to him now.
Shen Mingjiao couldn't explain why she was so afraid of Qi Shaoyou leaving her, but she just couldn't let go of her worries.
It was as if Qi Shaoyou would disappear if he left her for even a second.
"I'm not in pain..." Shen Mingjiao said, tears welling up in her eyes, stubbornly refusing to let Qi Shaoyou leave.
Qi Shaoyou was utterly defeated by this little shrew. Shen Mingjiao in that world was the same way; despite being a princess, she was always incredibly proud. Only he knew just how clingy this little princess was in private.
"You're bleeding, and you still say it doesn't hurt?"
"If you won't let me get the first-aid kit, then I'm not taking care of you anymore..."
Qi Shaoyou frowned, adopting a threatening posture.
"It doesn't hurt..." Shen Mingjiao hugged him, and tears streamed down her aggrieved face.
Unable to deal with Shen Mingjiao through force, Qi Shaoyou had no choice but to soften his tone and speak to her gently.
"Your wound hurts a lot, doesn't it? Shall I go to that window over there and get you some iodine for disinfection?"
Qi Shaoyou knew Shen Mingjiao was going to refuse as soon as he looked at her.
"Hey, it's only five steps. If I wanted to run, could you catch me?"
Qi Shaoyou patiently persuaded him, directly using his experience of coaxing people from his previous life.
Shen Mingjiao still didn't want to let go, and her eyes were brimming with tears.
"It hurts me to see you in pain. I can't take it anymore, seeing this wound is killing me..."
Qi Shaoyou put on an exaggerated act, and Shen Mingjiao couldn't help but punch her.
Only then did Shen Mingjiao slowly release her grip. Once the warmth in her arms was completely gone, Shen Mingjiao's heart turned cold.
Qi Shaoyou rushed over and asked a staff member for some iodine swabs. Everything else could wait, but Shen Mingjiao's leg injury couldn't.
If we don't treat it now, the wound will fester and become infected. Shen Mingjiao doesn't know how many times she'll cry then.
She is actually most afraid of pain.
Qi Shaoyou returned with the items and immediately knelt down on one knee in front of Shen Mingjiao. Even though the least painful iodine solution had been used, she could still clearly feel Shen Mingjiao avoiding the cotton swab.
"Don't run." Qi Shaoyou pressed down on Shen Mingjiao's ankle and disinfected the wound little by little. In addition to the bruises from the fall, her fair legs now had more of the color of iodine.
"Qi Shaoyou, you're so fierce." Qi Shaoyou had only said one sentence when he received the young lady's disdain. Shen Mingjiao's words were full of three parts reproach and two parts coquetry, with very little blame.
"Yes, yes, I'm so fierce." Qi Shaoyou had no way to deal with Shen Mingjiao.
"If you marry me, you can't be so mean to me anymore." Shen Mingjiao pursed her lips, tears still on her face, her tone as coquettish as ever.
Qi Shaoyou's hand trembled as he held the cotton swab...
