Chapter 110: Pain
Xia Qian Ge sat in the narrow car, her eyes lowered, her long eyelashes casting a large, fan-shaped shadow. Her slender arms hung by her sides, her body as stiff as a stone, her blood seemingly frozen.
The boy seemed to be equally nervous. In the narrow car, his breathing was a bit rapid, becoming clearly audible.
Xia Qian Ge tried her best to endure, but she couldn’t help but keep tensing the muscles in her arms, which gradually formed a curve. Her body looked very frail, but she had good explosive power from her frequent manual labor.
Her bloodshot eyes were hidden under her bangs, staring at the boy’s innocent and defenseless appearance, as if he were luring her to act, to submit to desire.
No hunter could resist the temptation of a pure and harmless prey walking back and forth in front of them without any defense. To remain indifferent was the most difficult test of her life.
To pounce or to endure, countless voices were speaking and arguing in her body, a war of words and swords, making her head ache. They were attacking her rationality, making her eyes more and more hazy, tinted with the color of blood in the afterglow of the sunset.
She was really fed up with these days of sheathing her claws and silently licking her wounds. Those bitches who were always around the boy were as annoying as disgusting green flies. Why did she have to compete with them? The boy had always liked her. A little teasing from her could make his face flush and his heart pound. The affection in his eyes was almost overflowing. Compared to them, the boy obviously loved her more.
Even if… even if she pounced on him now and pressed him down with her body, what of it? He might not even resist. He might even accept it calmly. But she would definitely not let the boy speak first. Whether it was insults or a confession, she would not let him speak first.
She would cover his mouth before he could speak, smearing the color on her lips onto his, their mouths meeting, her tongue invading his, venting the viscous desire that had accumulated in her for so long.
She wouldn’t let go even when they were out of breath. She would suck even harder, letting his exhaled breath enter her lungs, merging with her body. Their breaths would mingle, their souls would touch, their love surging like a monstrous wave, and they would sink together into the deep sea, suffocating and on the verge of death.
The sunset light shone through the window, forming a square of light on the floor. Part of the sunlight shone on the boy’s right shoulder, while she sat in the shadows, hiding her ferocious face. Dust danced in the sunset, like falling snow, landing in an unknown corner.
“Qian Ge, look over there.”
Su Yu spoke first, breaking the silence between them. The Ferris wheel had already risen to mid-air. He was still nervous and at a loss, but he couldn’t stand the silent atmosphere. So he pointed to the direction where the sun was about to set. The sunset was as brilliant as a brocade. After the faint clouds in the sky dissipated, the outline of the city appeared, with tall buildings, a testament to the city’s modern and sophisticated development.
Such a beautiful and magnificent scene was rare. Only at such a high altitude could the full beauty of the city be seen.
Xia Qian Ge squinted at the direction Su Yu was pointing. The brilliant, warm sunset shone into her inky eyes, making her pupils glow faintly. She pretended to be surprised by the magnificent view, but her thoughts were still locked on the boy. She stared at the smile in the corner of his eyes, his handsome and refined face as beautiful as an orchid at the foot of a flight of stairs.
She couldn’t understand why the boy was always so defenseless, using those seemingly seamless but actually flawed, simple tricks in front of her. She had forgotten how many times she had almost been unable to restrain her sharp claws.
So stupid.
Did the boy know how hard she was trying to endure? Why did he always make things so difficult for her? Xia Qian Ge really wanted to lean in and bite his ear, telling him all this viciously.
Right now! She didn’t want to endure anymore! No matter what the ending was…
The rope of reason was cut in two by the sharp scissors of desire at that moment. The bowstring, which had been stretched to its limit, snapped with a harsh sound. Her pure black pupils were instantly filled with a crazy desire, as violent as rolling, hot black water.
“So beautiful… so beautiful.”
Xia Qian Ge softly echoed Su Yu’s words and slowly stood up. The brilliant sunset in her eyes instantly faded. She walked step by step towards the defenseless boy, the half-meter gap between them suddenly shortened to half a step.
If Su Yu had lifted the sleeve of Xia Qian Ge’s arm at that moment, he would have definitely seen the tense muscle lines, which looked slender and frail but contained a surprising explosive force.
It’s not my fault… it’s really not my fault. You were the one who asked me to come up, weren’t you?
I love you, and I’m… so sorry.
Xia Qian Ge silently chanted the crazed words in her heart. Once reason collapsed, it was an endless fall. She took out her phone from her shoulder bag, her fingers still feeling for the stick-like object in the inner pocket. Then, pretending to be attracted by the scenery and wanting to find a good angle by the boy’s side, she completely closed the final half-step gap.
She stared at the boy’s fragile and slender neck, imagining the scene of subduing him in an instant. The tip of her tongue licked her bright red, blood-like lips, the power in her tensed arms ready to be unleashed.
“Ring ring ring…”
The phone’s ringtone suddenly rang out in the quiet car, loud and abrupt, creating a slight ripple on the calm surface of the sea, which was hiding a storm beneath.
Su Yu felt the vibration in his pocket and looked down to take out his phone, exposing his even more vulnerable back. But Xia Qian Ge didn’t dare to make a move. Once the call was connected, everything she did might be exposed.
This sudden accident made the strength she had gathered feel as if it had hit cotton. The sudden loss of strength made her let out a muffled grunt, but she was still carried forward by the force.
She was not reconciled! The boy was right in front of her. Desire had already taken root and sprouted. How could it wither and rot without blooming? The addiction was rampaging in her body. If she just blocked the exit and had no way to vent, she would definitely go crazy.
This was also an opportunity… for him, anything was possible.
A ruthless glint flashed in Xia Qian Ge’s eyes. She twisted her ankle at a very awkward angle, the bone cracking out of place. The intense pain shot through her fragile nerves to her central nervous system, as if she had been thrown from a high altitude and slammed to the ground. Her body ached as if it had been broken in two. Xia Qian Ge’s groan of pain attracted Su Yu’s attention. He looked up in a daze and saw the girl falling towards him. He immediately showed a panicked expression, threw his phone aside, and hurriedly caught the girl’s falling body, as carefully as if he were welcoming an angel from heaven.
With a thud, the angel fell into Su Yu’s arms. The soft touch made him reluctant to use any force. The girl’s pale face was as fragile as a porcelain doll that would break with a single touch. Su Yu wished he could bear this pain for her, and he didn’t want to see the girl’s delicate eyebrows furrowed together.
Xia Qian Ge struggled in the boy’s arms, letting out a painful whimper. Su Yu felt her hair brush against the tip of his nose, like the intoxicating scent of ambergris, intertwined with the fresh and elegant fragrance of gardenias, creating a rich and fragrant melody, every note exuding a scent that made him intoxicated.
“Are you hurt? Where are you hurt?”
Su Yu asked anxiously. He looked at Xia Qian Ge’s small leg, which had fallen on the floor. Her white ankle was bruised and purple, a shocking sight. He subconsciously reached out to check the extent of the sprain, but he was stopped by Xia Qian Ge. She forced a smile and shook her head, indicating that she was fine.
“It will hurt if you move it. It’s fine like this.”
Xia Qian Ge’s smile was very forced. She leaned against Su Yu’s chest and said considerately, “You can answer the phone first. What if it’s an emergency?”
“Oh, oh, I’ll answer it… I’ll answer the phone right away.”
Su Yu was a little flustered and at a loss. He couldn’t stand seeing the girl’s frail and soft appearance, as if a knife had been plunged into his heart, so painful yet impossible to pull out. He could only follow Xia Qian Ge’s words and hurriedly pick up the phone. The phone happened to be ringing again.
“Mm-hmm.”
Xia Qian Ge nodded obediently. She looked at the boy’s anxious expression and lay contentedly in his arms, a smug curve on her lips. Her ankle still ached, but the sweetness in her heart made her temporarily forget the physical pain. She greedily breathed in the boy’s fresh, sunny scent, a wave of warmth and addiction she had never experienced before rising in her heart, stimulating her adrenaline, further releasing her hormones.
This heatwave swept over her entire body, occupying every inch of her skin, turning into a red tide on her face, and also into a touch of intoxication in her eyes.
She snuggled in the boy’s arms, slightly raising her head, looking at his prominent Adam’s apple, her smile serene and gentle. A moment later, the phone in his hand seemed to be connected, a gentle woman’s voice, a voice she was all too familiar with. The smile on her face instantly melted away like snow.
The angel lying in the boy’s arms instantly fell into a demon. She was silent, her eyes cold, her dark pupils gleaming, malicious, and fierce.
“Sister? Is something wrong?” The caller was Gu Zhi. Although Su Yu tried his best to hide it, his voice still sounded a little anxious.
“Hmm? Are you busy now, Xiao Yu?” Gu Zhi heard the urgency in Su Yu’s voice and asked gently, “I’m free tomorrow. I was thinking of asking you out for dinner tonight. But it seems like it’s not a good time?”
“It’s probably not convenient.” Su Yu looked down at the girl who had buried her head in his chest and said, “I’m out with a few high school classmates today. I haven’t gone back yet.”
“High school classmates?” Gu Zhi’s voice on the other end of the phone was full of suspicion. She immediately asked, “Is there anyone I know?”
“Yes…”
“Wuwu~ it hurts so much.”
A soft whimper interrupted Su Yu. He quickly looked down and saw the girl slightly move her injured ankle, as if she had just moved the sprained bone.
The girl was looking up, her eyes meeting Su Yu’s. Her glistening eyes shone like crushed starlight. She blinked her round eyes, a misty haze in them, as soft and fragile as a newborn deer.
“It hurts so much… Su Yu, when can we go down? I’m in so much pain, I’m so scared~”
The crying sound at the end of her voice was the final arrow that pierced his heart. All the psychological barriers he had built collapsed in an instant, turning into useless fragments. He didn’t want to pretend to be distant anymore, at least not now…
“Xiao Yu? Why is there a girl’s voice on your end?”
“Sister… I’m sorry. I’ll call you back later. I have an emergency right now. I’m sorry.” Su Yu didn’t hear the same urgency in Gu Zhi’s voice. He apologized and hung up the phone.
The girl was about to cry. He didn’t want the tears in her eyes to overflow, not at all.
