Liu Yushu had never suffered such humiliation. Tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down uncontrollably. Sitting on the table, she hugged her knees tightly with both hands, buried her head, and sobbed nervously in a low voice.
She felt wronged and scared, having suffered a great shock. Half of her face was burning hot, probably swollen from the beating.
Hearing her cry so sadly, Wu Chunzhe was both angry and heart - broken. He swore that he would surely kill Zhao Qin.
After crying for a while, Liu Yushu composed herself. Her beautiful almond - shaped eyes were red and swollen. Her nosebleed had stained her clothes, and her hair was in a mess. She looked extremely disheveled.
“Don't worry. I won't let that brute go,” Wu Chunzhe said indignantly.
Liu Yushu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said hoarsely, “Don't open your eyes.” She trembled as she got off the table. Looking around, she couldn't find a rag, so she gently brushed the lime off his face with the cuff of her sleeve. Her movements were gentle.
She was such a gentle woman. Those villains with impure thoughts towards her were beyond her control.
She just wanted to find a man who would be good to her whole - heartedly and protect her for a lifetime. After this incident, she was extremely frightened. If she met someone who could give her a sense of security, she would marry him without hesitation.
As they got closer, Wu Chunzhe put his hands behind his back. He could clearly feel her body trembling constantly. Anger burned within him, and he gritted his teeth.
“Okay.”
Wu Chunzhe opened his eyes. Seeing the wounds on her face, he kicked the water tank on the ground fiercely. His glaring eyes were filled with terrifying killing intent. He promised her firmly, “I will surely avenge you. I definitely will.” He wished he could tear Zhao Qin limb from limb.
“Thank you. I was really lucky to have you just now,” Liu Yushu said, and couldn't help crying again. She felt extremely wronged.
“What I did to you was wrong. I apologize. If you want to beat or kill me, just do it. I won't fight back,” Wu Chunzhe picked up the kitchen knife on the chopping board and handed it to Liu Yushu. His gaze was firm, “I swear that in the future, without your permission, I won't do any frivolous or impolite things to you. If I do, may I be childless and die a horrible death.”
“...” Liu Yushu hung her head, not knowing what to do. Taking a deep breath, she said wearily in a low voice, “Forget it. Let's just pretend that nothing happened. I believe you will keep your word.” She knew that Wu Chunzhe was not a lecher. On the contrary, he was a very upright man, brave in taking responsibility, but just too impulsive in his actions.
Wu Chunzhe was shocked. While feeling sour in his heart, he was also greatly touched and even more regretful for his actions.
“Even if you don't punish me, as long as I've hurt you, I must pay the price,” Wu Chunzhe was very stubborn. He put the sharp blade on his own arm and made a cut. Blood flowed, and the skin was torn open.
“You...” Liu Yushu stepped back in fright, trembling even more, “Why are you doing this?”
Wu Chunzhe frowned tightly, his eyes bright and determined, “This wound will make me remember that I must not be rude to you in the future.” At the same time, it would also remind him to torture the shameless Zhao Qin to death.
“It's too dangerous for you to stay here alone. I'll take you back first. As for the person in the room, I promise you he'll be okay,” Wu Chunzhe suggested.
After some hesitation, Liu Yushu refused, “I want to wait until he wakes up before leaving.”
She didn't trust Wu Chunzhe.
“Okay. I'll wait for you outside,” Wu Chunzhe said with a disappointed look in his eyes.
After sending Liu Yushu back to the room, he put the kitchen knife on the table and told Liu Yushu that if anything happened, she should shout. He would be in the yard.
“Thank you,” Liu Yushu thanked Wu Chunzhe again.
In fact, he didn't have to go to such lengths for her. He could have just ignored her. But he didn't.
Closing the door, Liu Yushu saw that Wu Qing's complexion had improved. His expression was calm, and his breathing was even. She finally let out a sigh of relief.
She held Wu Qing's hand aggrievedly and shed silent tears. If he hadn't been injured, he would surely have protected her and wouldn't have let her suffer any harm or humiliation.
Liu Yushu stared at Wu Qing with tear - stained cheeks, praying in her heart: God bless. Please wake up quickly.
Suddenly, Wu Qing's long, crow - feather - like eyelashes fluttered twice. He slowly opened his eyes and let out a weak groan. In his sight was her tear - streaked face. She was hugging him tightly, sobbing and whispering, “You're finally awake. I thought you weren't going to make it.”
When she cried, his heart was in a mess, and he felt impatient. He wanted to reach out and stroke her trembling back, but his arms felt as heavy as a thousand pounds and wouldn't move. He could only weakly call her name, “Yushu, Yushu...”
After Liu Yushu stopped crying, a sincere smile appeared on her lips, “I'm here.” She stared at him with tear - filled eyes.
Wu Qing's heart melted instantly. His eyes were filled with gentle warmth, and he smiled slightly, “I missed you.” He had almost died this time. While in a coma, he had been struggling in the darkness. He had almost given up several times, but her gentle face had always been in front of his eyes, preventing him from abandoning the will to live.
He lived only for her.
The two of them were like lovers reunited after a long separation. Their gazes grew hotter as they stared at each other. Their affection was tender, and they were reluctant to look away for a long time, as if they wanted to engrave each other's features in their memories.
Wu Qing's eyes flickered. He saw that the corner of Liu Yushu's mouth was split, half of her face was swollen, and her hair was in disarray. As a martial artist, he could tell at a glance that she had been bullied.
Who on earth had bullied her? Was it the blood - smeared man outside the house? No matter who it was, as long as they had hurt Liu Yushu, he would send them to hell without mercy.
Inside the house, it was filled with warmth. Outside, Wu Chunzhe leaned against the wall, covering his bleeding arm. His expression was extremely painful. What hurt more than the wound was the fact that Liu Yushu had someone else in her heart.
This night would be unforgettable for Wu Chunzhe for the rest of his life, for it was the most painful, saddest, and most hurtful night of his life. Even if he encountered more difficult things in the future, he would never be as pained and sad as he was now.
