Chapter 53 I Agree
Chapter 53
Originally, they were supposed to move to another venue, but after seeing the atmosphere between Li Changjing and the other person, everyone dispersed and went to find their own venues after the event.
Li Changjing drove Wen Yining back home. It was nearly midnight, and the cold wind howled, leaving very few pedestrians on the road.
Wen Yining sat absentmindedly in the passenger seat. Ever since hearing Fang Qi's words, her heart felt like it was being weighed down by a heavy stone. No matter which way she chose, she felt a burning, urgent pain.
As the car drove onto Ping'an Street, Li Changjing suddenly spoke up calmly, "What did Fang Qi just say to you?"
Wen Yining's breath hitched, and the next moment her heart began to pound wildly, accompanied by an indescribable pain. Feeling guilty, she thought Li Changjing could hear her rapid heartbeat in the quiet car.
On one hand, she was glad that she was in the car, where it was dark and she couldn't see anything, otherwise she definitely wouldn't have escaped his eyes.
Li Changjing was too perceptive. Afraid that he would notice her unnaturalness and see through her, Wen Yining remained silent, opened the window, and let the wind in to break the silence in the car.
Li Changjing turned to look at her, then continued looking at the road ahead, his tone still indifferent, "It seems you and Fang Qi get along better than I do. Let me hear what you're talking about."
He kept pressing her for an answer, but Wen Yining didn't dare to. She quickly thought about it in her mind and figured he must have either figured something out or his possessiveness had kicked in again. Ever since she had told him many times that she didn't love him, he had become like this.
He was assertive before, but never this extreme.
No, Wen Yining realized that it was because when they were together before, she was completely focused on Li Changjing and rarely talked to others. Even when they did talk, he would just ask casually, and she would happily tell him everything. At that time, he had no reason to go crazy.
Silence remained in the car. Li Changjing chuckled softly, "Can't I listen?"
Wen Yining felt a chill run down her spine, both angry and afraid. But she dared not answer, fearing that if he asked Fang Qi again, she would be exposed if she couldn't answer correctly.
In a flash, she said coldly, "That girl I met in the corridor just now likes you, right? I won't ask you, and you shouldn't ask me either."
The car braked suddenly, startling Wen Yining. The car following behind, carrying bodyguards, also braked immediately.
The car lights suddenly turned on, illuminating the darkness inside. Wen Yining subconsciously looked at Li Changjing, meeting his gaze. He turned his head, his eyes fixed on her expression, his tone unreadable, "You care a lot?"
Wen Yining clenched her fingers expressionlessly. "What do I have to care about?"
Li Changjing's eyes darkened.
After Wen Yining finished speaking, she turned to look out the window. Suddenly, her chin tightened as Li Changjing leaned over and pinched her chin, forcing her to look at his face.
Li Changjing pinched her cheek, looked at her, and slowly told her, "There's really nothing to worry about. She's my high school classmate, and we went on a blind date before the New Year."
Wen Yining was prepared when he spoke, but she still couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat. She really hated these uncontrollable reactions of hers.
She knew what Li Changjing wanted to see, so she looked into his eyes and said in a calm and indifferent tone, "Actually, I think she is very beautiful and has a great temperament. She and you look good together."
Fearing that her voice would betray her emotions, Wen Yining spoke slowly, word by word, lowering her tone to make each word sound indifferent and nonchalant.
The pressure on his chin intensified, and Li Changjing's expression changed. Being so close, Wen Yining could clearly see the emotions in his eyes. It was rare to see Li Changjing show such straightforward emotions; the pain in his eyes was obvious.
Wen Yining suddenly realized that Li Changjing was not always omnipotent or always sitting on the sidelines; he could also be easily hurt by her words and glances.
Li Changjing suddenly released her chin and started the car.
Wen Yining held her head turned for several seconds, her eyelashes trembled, and she raised her hand to turn off the light, plunging the car into darkness once more, obscuring the expressions on their faces.
She sat back down, the car turned, and Li Changjing continued, "I met two people at the time, the other one was surnamed Peng. The old man liked her very much and even took her home for a meal."
Wen Yining clenched her fingers tightly, a strong emotion overwhelming her, as if she wanted to stab him to vent her anger. She said coldly, "That's your business, not mine. It has nothing to do with me. I really have no interest in hearing about it. If you insist on hearing it, I wish you a speedy birth of your child."
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Li Changjing remained silent for a long time. In his silence, Wen Yining felt a mixture of pain and pleasure.
The car turned and drove into the underground parking garage of the residential area. The bright light from above shone into the front of the car, making both of their faces appear pale. Li Changjing drove and looked at the road ahead, saying indifferently, "Ningning, I'm almost starting to hate you."
Wen Yining pursed her lips tightly and looked ahead. "That's fine. Then can you let me leave quickly? I hate you too."
The car was silent. It was stopped halfway down the road, and both of them were staring straight ahead. Neither of them turned to look at the other. After a while, Li Changjing started the car again without saying another word.
She got out of the car in silence, went inside, and raised her chin without even glancing at Li Changjing's expression.
She turned on the light, changed her shoes, and walked into the bedroom. Li Changjing walked behind her, watching Wen Yining's slender figure that never turned around.
Wen Yining opened the bedroom door without turning on the light, and walked in in the dark by the light from outside. As she walked, her arm was suddenly grabbed, her body swayed, and her back hit the wall. A body pressed down on her, forcefully pinning her down. Her lips and tongue were pried open, and Li Changjing's breath filled the air.
Wen Yining couldn't push him away. The two of them were breathing heavily, their bodies pressed tightly together. Before long, Wen Yining felt Li Changjing getting hotter and hotter, and she could clearly feel the change in his body as he pressed against her.
Angry and scared, she tried to bite him. Li Changjing noticed her intention and used his hand to hold her face down. Wen Yining was forced to open her mouth and couldn't move. Her breathing trembled and she could hardly breathe. She struggled even more desperately, but in the twisting and turning of her body, she could feel his change.
As soon as he loosened his grip, Li Changjing released Wen Yining's hand and stroked her smooth skin from under her clothes. Her waist was very slender, and he placed his hand on one side.
Wen Yining pushed Li Changjing even more frantically, finally managing to push him away. She was both angry and scared. The repression she had been feeling lately, Fang Qi's words tonight, the girl she saw in the corridor, and what he had said to her all intertwined together, and Wen Yining felt like she was going crazy.
She cried and cursed him incoherently, "Li Changjing, you're disgusting! You're so disgusting! I hate you so much!"
"I'm disgusting?" Li Changjing seemed not to have heard clearly. After two seconds, he laughed in a hoarse voice, but his usually slow and steady tone was trembling slightly. "Wen Yining, I'm disgusting?"
Li Changjing suddenly stepped forward and pressed down on her shoulders and hands. Wen Yining's back hit the wall and her bones ached. He squeezed her body, and her hands were held tightly by Li Changjing and forced against his body. The sensation in her palms was extremely clear.
Wen Yining struggled frantically to pull her hand out of his palm, but he used all his strength, and her wrist bones seemed to be crushed, so she couldn't pull it out.
Li Changjing pressed her down tightly, his voice low, sinister, and cold, "After you left, I initially thought about how you looked when we did it and used my hands, but then I missed you so much that using my hands didn't work anymore. It was only after you came back that things got better. It's been a long time since we've done it, Wen Yining, don't force me."
Every word he uttered, combined with the sensation of his touch, was driving Wen Yining to the brink of collapse. "You're disgusting! Do you know that every word you say, every kiss you give, makes me want to vomit!"
Li Changjing suddenly seemed to lose all his strength, and abruptly released her, taking two steps back and looking at her.
Wen Yining's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly realized what she had said, and fell silent instantly.
How did she become like this? What happened to her all this time? She's like a vicious madwoman.
She used to be most afraid of him being sad, and she would try to tell jokes to cheer him up. She once whispered through tears, "I just want to know if you're happy."
Li Changjing remained silent, her face trembling with tears as she looked up at him.
But the room was too dark, with only a faint light from the corridor filtering in, making it impossible to see each other's expressions. She could only see Li Changjing's slender and tall figure quietly watching her in the darkness.
His clear voice was slightly hoarse as he quietly asked her, "Is it fun, Ningning? Is it fun to play a game where a single sentence can control my mood?"
Wen Yining's eyes stung, and large, hot tears fell.
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
After Li Changjing finished speaking, he turned around and left. Then Wen Yining heard the door close.
She leaned against the wall and slowly sat down on the ground in the darkness.
*
Li Changjing has not returned since he left. These past few days, Wen Yining has been living alone in the house, busy with her own things as before, but she often gets distracted. The housekeeper comes over every day to cook and clean.
Yue Feng appeared on time and took her to school right away.
As soon as they entered the dormitory, the two girls immediately asked, "He didn't bully you, did he?"
Wen Yining shook her head.
The two breathed a sigh of relief.
School life is mechanical, intense, and routine. Every classmate around me has their own worries: they're annoyed by their poor grades, annoyed by the dreaded 8 AM rush, annoyed by not being able to get into their classes, and annoyed by how bad their takeout was today.
But living like this gives you a sense of being alive.
On Wednesday evening, after washing up and drying her hair, Wen Yining sat at her desk, eating dinner while looking at her computer.
The phone rang in the dormitory. Gu Lingling answered, "Hello?"
"Oh... I'm calling her."
Gu Lingling walked towards Wen Yining with a strange expression, holding up her phone. "Ningning, your friend is looking for you, cough cough, a guy... saying he can't get through to you on the phone. How does your friend have my number?"
"My friend? A guy?" Wen Yining frowned in confusion, then suddenly remembered something, her expression vanished, and she took the bag. Sure enough, it was Fang Qi.
Under their gossipy gazes, Wen Yining walked to the balcony with a serious expression.
After dropping the pretense, Fang Qi saw no need to continue acting in front of her and went straight to the point, "I didn't dare call you because I was afraid he had installed a wiretap on you. Are you free tomorrow night? I'll send you a cell phone. Think about which one you want to use to contact me."
Wen Yining gripped her phone tightly. "What do you want me to do?"
Fang Qi paused for a moment, then said, "It's something that's difficult for others but shouldn't be difficult for you. You take a picture of something and send it to me. Don't worry, I know you wouldn't do something like framing someone. If it were that kind of thing, I wouldn't have asked you."
"What is that?"
"You'll know once you agree. It can only be considered evidence against Li Changjing. Of course, if he's innocent, then he has nothing to fear from the investigation. If he's not innocent, then he deserves his punishment. I've already said he'll be fine. Such a small matter can't possibly affect him."
Wen Yining couldn't help but ask again, "Then you still want to do it!"
Fang Qi remained silent for a long time before saying softly, "I feel happy. You got what you wanted, and he's on the right track. It's a happy ending for everyone."
Just thinking about how Li Changjing felt at that time made him feel incredibly happy.
Wen Yining remained silent for a long time.
Fang Qi frowned and sat up. "Ningning, you don't still like him, do you?"
He sighed, "Never mind, don't rush to give me an answer. Think about which phone to use to contact me."
Wen Yining looked out the window, her eyes glistening with tears. "No need, I've already made up my mind."
"I agree."
Instead of slowly torturing each other like this, it's better to cut the Gordian knot quickly.
Anyway, the result is the same.
