Chapter 96 proves that apart from this almost crazy persecution...
The light coming through the window cracks gradually dims, heralding the passage of time.
Song Baoyuan stirred the charcoal fire at her feet, then took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped the saliva of her daughter who was sleeping next to her father.
The door was slowly pushed open, and Jiang Chengyou's little head popped out.
Song Baoyuan looked over when she heard the sound and was amused by the cute look of the boy blinking his eyes.
She whispered, "Come here."
Jiang Chengyou immediately ran over, holding a small snowman in his hands. He rushed a few steps, then stopped, turned back to close the door, and then went straight to his mother.
Song Baoyuan let him climb onto her lap, and after he sat firmly, she hugged him. She lowered her head to touch his face and asked softly, "Is it cold outside?"
"It's not cold." Jiang Chengyou picked up the little snowman and asked, "Mom, do you think I made it well?"
"It looks great!" Song Baoyuan said softly, "Our Chengcheng is really amazing."
"Hehe." Jiang Chengyou twisted his body happily.
There was a faint sound of a child giggling in her ears. Jiang Keyu opened her eyes drowsily and the first thing she saw was her daughter's sleeping face, as if she was having a sweet dream.
"Why doesn't it have a nose?" Song Baoyuan asked in feigned confusion.
Jiang Chengyou thought for a moment, then poked a hole where the snowman's nose should be. "Got it!"
The voices of the mother and son gradually became clearer in Jiang Keyu's ears. He looked up and seemed to be back to an ordinary winter evening in a trance.
The family gathered around the charcoal fire. The child, with an innocent face, sat quietly, waiting for his story. His wife sat quietly beside him, fiddling with the child's toys and occasionally glancing at him, her eyes often filled with smiles.
The memories seem to have passed years ago, and everything warm in front of me at this moment seems like an illusion.
"I have no more expectations of you."
"Because I already like someone else."
"No matter who I compare myself to, I will never choose you again!"
The harsh words echoed in his ears repeatedly, stinging his heart uncontrollably and irresistibly, gradually waking him up.
"Daddy is awake!" Jiang Chengyou said with his head tilted.
His shout woke up his sister. Jiang Suisui rubbed her eyes and climbed up, calling out in a sticky voice, "Daddy."
Jiang Keyu raised her hand with difficulty and touched her daughter's head.
"Daddy, what's wrong with you? Why did you sleep for so long?"
"Cough." Jiang Keyu's voice was hoarse and weak, "Daddy is fine, just sleepy."
Song Baoyuan glanced at his face seemingly unintentionally, "Alright, you guys should go to bed after playing for a while. Go outside and don't disturb Daddy, okay?"
"good."
Jiang Chengyou obediently took Jiang Suisui out.
Jiang Keyu lowered her eyes and looked at the charcoal fire, "Why am I here?"
"I'll leave Lu'an to take care of you."
Song Baoyuan ignored her and after saying this, she was helped out by Qiao Yue.
Lu'an approached and was immediately questioned by Jiang Keyu.
"Didn't I say I was going home? Why are you here?"
"The young lady ordered it." Liu'an said weakly.
Song Baoyuan stopped before she even walked out the door.
Jiang Keyu looked at her back as she was leaving impatiently, feeling depressed. "Help me up, let's go back home."
"Ah?" Liu'an was embarrassed and looked back subconsciously.
"Help me up!"
"Don't help him!" Song Baoyuan suddenly turned around, "If you have the guts, go back on your own!"
Liu'an froze between the two men, not daring to move.
"Don't you think I'm an eyesore?"
"Yes, if I wasn't afraid of being blamed by my parents, I wouldn't care about you!" Song Baoyuan said without hesitation.
“No need!”
Jiang Keyu struggled to stand up, gasping in pain, "What are you still doing standing there?"
Song Baoyuan turned back angrily, "Don't help him!"
"Who do you belong to? Why are you listening to her?"
"Lu'an, get out!"
Liu'an: "..."
Caught in a dilemma.
After some hesitation, he gritted his teeth and slipped away.
Disbelief flashed in Jiang Keyu's eyes.
Song Baoyuan groaned and said lightly as if in a challenge, "It's still snowing outside. If you want to go back home, just get up by yourself. If you're not afraid of dying on the way, just walk back by yourself."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Keyu tightened her grip, forced her upper body up, and tried to get up.
The quilt covering his back slipped off, and the thin inner garment he hastily put on was untied and loose. One could vaguely see that his body was tense and every inch of his skin was exerting force.
His black hair was spread out, obscuring his expression, but Song Baoyuan could hear his heavy breathing and seemed to see the cold sweat oozing from his forehead.
Seeing Jiang Keyu's back red, it was obvious that the wound had broken open. Song Baoyuan didn't expect him to be so stubborn. She walked closer anxiously and asked, "Don't you feel the pain?"
Jiang Keyu stood up without saying a word and even bent down to pick up the cloak on the couch.
Song Baoyuan watched him walk past her, and suddenly reached out and grabbed the cloak he had not yet had time to put on.
The cloak was like a rope with each of them holding one end. They silently exerted force and would not let go even if it hurt themselves.
Song Baoyuan thought it was ridiculous, "Have you had enough of this?"
Jiang Keyu still said nothing. The bloodstains on his back became more and more glaring, but he still walked out stubbornly.
"Jiang Keyu!"
Song Baoyuan was so angry that she had no idea what to do.
Jiang Keyu suddenly froze.
It was the first time in my life that I heard my name from her mouth, accompanied by anger.
If reasoning doesn't make sense, it's better to just throw the can away. Song Baoyuan was furious. "Hasn't this pain felt enough? If you insist on torturing yourself, there's no need to go through all this trouble. You might as well die outside and scare others! Can I help you now?"
"Qiaoyue, go to the kitchen and get the salt shaker!"
Qiao Yue opened her eyes wide, hesitated, and whispered to confirm, "Miss, are you really going?"
"go!"
Qiao Yue ran away in small steps, feeling panicked that she shouldn't stay here for long.
At the same time, Jiang Keyu finally turned around and looked at the angry Song Baoyuan, with no expression on her pale face.
Their eyes met, and they were in a stalemate as if they were in a standoff.
Qiao Yue wandered outside alone, and after thinking about it, she actually brought the salt jar.
Song Baoyuan didn't expect that she would actually do as she was told, and in less than half a minute she brought the salt shaker in front of her.
Without waiting for Song Baoyuan to make any move, Jiang Keyu let go and dropped the cloak.
"Heh." He suddenly laughed, turned around, took off his underwear, untied the bandages, and exposed his scarred back to Song Baoyuan.
He urged as if inviting: "Come on, spread it."
Song Baoyuan took a half step back. Although she was right next to the doctor while he was treating the wound, she didn't dare to look closely. The bloody mess was too shocking.
But at this moment, the sight was unavoidable.
"Go ahead!" Jiang Keyu glanced sideways. "You hate me anyway! You don't care whether I live or die anyway! Just go ahead and let it hurt me to death!"
Song Baoyuan raised her eyes, but could only catch a glimpse of his cold profile, and could not see the stubborn determination in his eyes to go all the way.
"You are totally unreasonable!"
"Hurry up and spread it!"
"What's the difference between what you're doing now and forcing me to stab you with a hairpin?" Song Baoyuan walked around in front of him. "Is this what you said? Is this a promise that you'll never do it again?"
Jiang Keyu was stunned.
"You always go back on your word like this!"
Song Baoyuan clenched her fists. "He's becoming more and more inexplicable, even acting like a child!"
She no longer wanted to tolerate it, "If you dare to do this again, I will place the spirit tablets of my parents in front of you!"
After she finished speaking, she slammed the door and left, not wanting to stay in this atmosphere any longer.
"Bang!"
Jiang Keyu followed with her eyes, all the emotions mixed in her heart, and gradually only loneliness remained.
He could no longer find any other way, except this almost crazy forcing, to prove that he had not been completely abandoned.
