Chapter 54: Feather
=====================
When they got home, everyone was there. They already knew everything that had happened at school.
Seeing Bei Queting appear, Bei Yuan went up and held her, her nose a little red.
Although the two of them were from the same clan, the Tit clan had many branches, so Bei Yuan and Bei Queting were not actually from the same clan before.
He Ying and the others looked at them gently and said, “Why don’t we all sit down and eat first? We’ve prepared a lot of your favorite food.”
Bei Queting knew they were concerned about her, and she felt even warmer because of their attitude. This big family was really good, very loving.
Although it was made up of many different surnames, their hearts were one.
Everyone sat down, planning to talk about other things after they had finished eating.
But during the meal, Jing Dan leaned over to He Ying’s ear and whispered, “If those people did something too outrageous, we’ll go and deal with them! We won’t tell Little Ting.”
Just like with Bei Yuan back then. After she was bullied, Huai Sheng had secretly gone to her clan and, after dealing with the people who had bullied Bei Yuan, she had also made them bleed a lot!
He Ying glanced at her helplessly, but she tacitly agreed with this behavior.
Their little cub, how could they let others bully her?
After dinner, the whole family tacitly did not move, their gazes on Bei Queting.
Bei Queting did not feel embarrassed at all. She lowered her gaze and thought for a moment, then looked up at He Jingsu and gave her a faint smile.
Ever since she had witnessed He Jingsu privately settling the score with Bei Yan, she had been very clear that although He Jingsu had been raised in a honey pot, it did not mean that she did not know about the dark side.
“Back then, my mother was betrothed to the clan leader’s son. My mother had originally not agreed, but my mother’s parents felt that marrying the clan leader’s child was the best marriage for my mother.”
Bei Queting paused for a moment when she said this, closed her eyes, and said softly, “So they sealed my mother’s spiritual energy, so she had no ability to resist. Then they kept her under guard, waiting for the wedding to arrive.”
“At that time, my father was traveling outside. When he came back, the matter was already a foregone conclusion. My mother had already married the clan leader’s child.”
Bei Queting’s whole body began to tense. No one knew how much she had hated it when she had first learned these truths, and the bone-chilling cold she had felt toward this clan.
“After my mother got married, because she was always disobedient, that, that person forced himself on my mother, and in order not to let her escape, he locked her up.”
Hearing this, everyone’s faces darkened, their eyes brewing with anger, but they suppressed it so as not to disturb Bei Queting.
Everyone was a disturbance, but there was one exception.
He Jingsu held Bei Queting’s cold hand, very tightly, wanting to warm her with her own body temperature.
Bei Queting smiled at her and continued, “Gradually, my mother’s mental state became problematic. Later, my father came back and, seeing that my mother was not living well at all, he wanted to take her away, but he failed.”
“My father then turned to the clan leader. At that time, the clan leader’s son had grown tired of my mother’s mental state. He made my father pay a lot before he would let him take my mother away.”
“My mother’s mental state was still not good when she first came home. My father wanted to take her away from the clan’s territory, but he found that he couldn’t get out at all. The clan leader forbade them from leaving.”
“Helpless, they could only stay, moving to the most remote part of the clan’s territory. Gradually, my mother’s mental state also improved a lot. She also accepted my father’s proposal, and later, she had me.”
“But later, the clan leader’s son grew more and more displeased with them. Gradually, there were more and more unspeakably vicious comments, saying that my parents had been secretly together behind his back, and my mother was also…”
Bei Queting did not say any more. She bit her lip, her eyes red. She took a deep breath and continued, “Later, my mother’s mental state became problematic again. After she gave birth to me, the problem became even more serious. Before she had hatched me, she committed suicide.”
“And then, my grieving father also committed suicide.”
“Leaving me behind, so I became the unwanted bastard in their mouths.”
To these closest people, she had laid bare her past, just because she wanted them to understand her past, and she dared to let them understand.
Because she was very clear that if she laid her past bare, they would not laugh at her.
After hearing her words, the others fell silent. Their hands under the table were already tightly clenched into fists, but their faces were restrained.
He Ying turned to look at He Jingsu and said, “Daidai, can you take Little Ting upstairs to rest for a while?”
He Jingsu looked at her mother, then at Beibei, and nodded vigorously!
“Beibei, let’s go back to the room,” He Jingsu held Bei Queting and said softly, her head lifted in her arms.
Bei Queting looked at the others, then down at He Jingsu. After a moment of silence, she finally nodded.
She could probably guess what He Ying and the others wanted to do, but she didn’t want to stop them.
They also needed an outlet.
After He Jingsu took Bei Queting away, the others’ faces all turned cold. He Yuan said coldly, “How dare they bully our family? They’ve been living too comfortably!”
The others all nodded.
In the end, Jing Shiyue had Qiu Si take Jing Jiu and wait at home. The next second, all the adults in the living room disappeared.
Jing Jiu blinked and held Qiu Si’s arm. “Big sister, should we go up and find Daidai and the others?”
Qiu Si looked up and shook her head. “No need. We’ll just stay here. With Daidai around, it’s enough.”
Jing Jiu nodded, her mood also not high.
Upstairs, at this moment, He Jingsu held Bei Queting tightly with heartache, pouting and giving her a series of kisses on the lips, wanting to comfort her with this clumsy method.
Bei Queting closed her eyes and felt her one by one kisses land on her lips. Her originally heavy mood also gradually lightened, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
“Daidai, does it still hurt?” Bei Queting opened her eyes and looked at He Jingsu, reaching out to gently stroke the wound on her face. Although she had helped her treat it later, this mark on her was still glaring.
He Jingsu immediately shook her head, but halfway through, she suddenly stiffened and stopped. Then her lips trembled, and she said with a wronged expression, “It hurts. This is the most painful.”
With that, she lifted her clothes, revealing her smooth and soft little belly. But on her belly was a bruise, which looked terrifying.
Bei Queting’s gaze froze. She carefully placed her fingertips on it. When she had helped her treat it before, it hadn’t been so serious, but now it had become extremely obvious.
Her throat bobbed. She suddenly leaned over and placed a kiss on He Jingsu’s belly.
Her nose was sour and her eyes stung, and she was a little choked up. Her Daidai would really protect her unconditionally, even if it meant getting hurt herself.
“B-Beibei…”
He Jingsu suddenly stiffened, and for a rare moment, her words stuttered.
Bei Queting looked up at her. “Hm?”
He Jingsu’s cheeks grew redder and redder, and her gaze toward Bei Queting was also a little watery. She bit her lip and said, “Beibei, the way you just kissed me was so strange.”
Bei Queting was confused. “?”
She looked down at her belly. What was strange?
He Jingsu’s face was red as she said in a small voice, “When you kissed me, it felt so comfortable. I wanted Beibei to continue kissing.”
Bei Queting was speechless.
Her cheeks also instantly reddened. She bit her lip and looked at He Jingsu, her heart beating faster at her words.
“Daidai, don’t say such things,” Bei Queting said, shy.
He Jingsu was puzzled for a moment, not understanding why she couldn’t say the truth.
“But I want you to continue. You can also touch me,” He Jingsu said, grabbing her hand and placing it on her belly, muttering in a small voice.
Bei Queting was speechless.
Her face grew redder and redder. The skin under her palm was soft and delicate, with a burning temperature, as if it were about to burn her.
But her Daidai would never hurt her.
But she would make her heart beat wildly for her.
Bei Queting took a deep breath, trying to calm her rapidly beating heart. “Daidai, hurry up and take a shower. I’ll help you apply medicine after you’re done,” she said in a low voice.
He Jingsu tilted her head, said, “Oh,” and then said, “Then you touch me again. I’ll go take a shower in a bit. After I’m done, you have to continue to touch me.”
Bei Queting was speechless.
She felt that she should be a steam engine now. If she could see it, she would be able to see the hot steam coming out of her head.
In the end, at He Jingsu’s request, Bei Queting still placed her hand on her belly and rubbed it for a while. In the end, she was so embarrassed that she couldn’t take it anymore and pushed her into the bathroom.
When He Jingsu was pushed into the bathroom, she pouted. She hadn’t been touched enough!
After He Jingsu went in, Bei Queting went outside to prepare the things she would need to apply medicine to He Jingsu. After she was done, and there was finally nothing else to do, she sat on the carpet in a daze, listening to the sound of water from the bathroom.
She hugged her knees, her chin on her knees, and Bei Queting began to be in a daze.
She suddenly wondered, if she hadn’t met Daidai back then, or if Daidai hadn’t brought her back, what would her life have become?
But after thinking about it, she couldn’t imagine what it would be like.
After being brought back by Daidai, she had tasted too much sweetness and couldn’t imagine the taste of bitterness at all.
When He Jingsu came out, she saw Bei Queting curled up on the carpet, hugging her knees. She went up and, learning from the TV, held her from behind, holding her in her arms.
“Beibei, are you unhappy?”
Bei Queting, who was being held in her arms, shook her head. She relaxed her body and leaned as much as possible into He Jingsu’s arms, her voice gentle. “No, I’m very happy.”
“I was just thinking, did I decide to be your child bride back then?” Bei Queting said this with a smile on her face. Otherwise, why would she have been so willing to go with her?
He Jingsu rested her chin on Bei Queting’s shoulder and said sweetly, “Mhm, mhm! It must be that you knew early on that you would be my child bride, so we met!”
Super fated! Beibei was hidden in a pile of fallen leaves, and she had still been dug out by her. That meant she was destined to be her wife~
Hearing these happy words, Bei Queting let out a low laugh. She turned around in her arms, ruffled her face, and said, “Hurry up and lie down on the bed. I’m going to apply medicine to you.”
He Jingsu nodded repeatedly, her movements very nimble as she got on the bed and lay down. Thinking of something, she lifted her head and asked, “Beibei, do I have to take off my clothes?”
Bei Queting’s face was red. “…No.”
“Oh.” She seemed a little disappointed.
Bei Queting was even more embarrassed by her.
She suppressed the throbbing in her heart, went to wash her hands, then poured the medicinal wine on her hands and rubbed them until they were hot. Only then did she begin to carefully rub the medicine into the wound.
He Jingsu whimpered as she was being rubbed, but her movements were as if she were a harmless white-cut chicken, not moving at all, and she trustingly placed herself in Bei Queting’s hands.
Bei Queting’s ears were hot. She really wanted to tell Daidai not to make a sound, but she felt that her words would have a different meaning, so in the end, she held it in.
Her ears were so red they were about to bleed.
After she had finally finished applying the medicine, Bei Queting was also sweating. When she got off the bed, she still felt that her steps were a little unsteady, and her head was dizzy.
She bit her lip and glanced at He Jingsu, who had already fallen asleep. In the end, her expression softened. She wanted to brush the hair from her face, but she noticed her hands were full of medicinal oil. She hurried into the bathroom to wash her hands before coming out.
This person must have been exhausted today, but she had still forced herself to comfort her.
Bei Queting placed a kiss on her forehead.
She placed a small feather in He Jingsu’s palm.
