Liu Yushu's way of taking revenge on Wu Qing was quite simple.
Whatever Wu Qing disliked, Liu Yushu would do. Her thought was just that simple.
She picked up the water basin and impatiently splashed the water hard on him. She was just so wild, getting angry with him all of a sudden without any warning.
"What are you doing?" Wu Qing was stunned and then flustered. He sensed that she was angry. If she wanted to vent her anger on him, he was willing.
But he wanted to know why she was angry.
Thinking back carefully, she had always mentioned Geng Rong since just now... Could it be that she was jealous?
Wu Qing had never fallen in true love with any woman before. The only time was for Liu Yushu. He didn't understand love, and naturally didn't understand the delicate feelings of a girl. But he wasn't stupid. After pondering over her words for a while, he understood the meaning.
One would be jealous only because of love.
She liked him. Wu Qing felt happy in his heart. The corners of his lips couldn't help curving up, showing a pure and happy smile.
Liu Yushu saw it and was confused. This hateful guy. When she was gentle with him just now, he flatly refused. Now that she showed him a cold face, he even smiled. What on earth did he mean?!
She leaned over, forcefully pinched his chin with both hands, and threatened in a soft voice, "Do you believe I'll really kill you?"
The smile on Wu Qing's lips deepened, "As you wish." Her tone was not scary at all. Instead, it was quite alluring. He wanted to see how she was going to kill him. He was quite excited inside.
"You... Just wait and see." Liu Yushu got angry when she saw the smile on his face. She misunderstood him and thought he was mocking her. So she made up her mind that she must give him a punishment tonight, a punishment that he would remember for a lifetime and never forget even when he died.
The smile on Wu Qing's lips froze. His expression gradually distorted. He never expected that his arm was bitten hard by her. She glared at him angrily, "Will you still be ambiguous with other women in the future?"
He pretended to be scared, "No, I definitely won't."
She finally calmed down a bit and showed a smile. Taking advantage of his inattention, she bit hard on his wrist. He frowned tightly. She didn't show any mercy at all. A row of red tooth marks appeared on his fair wrist.
She just wanted to leave her scar on his wrist so that he could remember this incident for a lifetime. It would be better if he could never forget it even when he died.
A smile curved up on his lips. He teased her, "Is that all you've got?" He deliberately said the opposite to provoke her.
Sure enough, she was enraged. She turned her head and snorted, "I won't talk to you anymore. Go find Geng Rong, go find that vixen. Don't come to me."
Now he was really flustered. He quickly begged for mercy, "My lady, I was wrong. I won't make you angry anymore." He hugged her tightly and rubbed his chin against the top of her head, "Don't drive me away. If you do, I'll have nowhere to go."
She gave him a disdainful look. But she felt sweet inside, "Fine. You're smart. Don't do it again."
He beamed with joy, "I'll follow whatever my lady says."
Previously, the doctor had instructed that the poison in his body must be forced out as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the poison spread to his internal organs, he would be completely hopeless. And the method of forcing out the poison was extremely cruel and painful. One had to place red - hot coal on the wound and burn it inch by inch until the outer skin was charred and the blood oozed out of the wound.
There were three wounds on his body. He had to endure such painful torture three times. Just thinking about it made Liu Yushu feel like she was going to die from the pain. She was worried that he wouldn't be able to bear it either and would just close his eyes and die.
"I've burned the coal. When you're ready, just tell me." Her tone was full of anxiety.
Wu Qing was calm instead. He smiled helplessly, "As long as you're here, I'm not afraid of anything. If I can't hold on and die midway..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Liu Yushu frowned and interrupted him, not allowing him to say such inauspicious words.
Seeing that she cared so much about him, Wu Qing's smile was as gentle as the spring breeze, "It won't happen. As long as you're here, I'll be safe. You're my lucky star."
"..." Liu Yushu was deeply touched. She turned around to get the red - hot coal. After some mental preparation, she finally carefully approached the wound. No, it was too cruel. She didn't dare to do it.
So, he grabbed her hand and suddenly pressed the coal on the wound. She closed her eyes and faintly smelled the smell of charred flesh and a trace of blood. The poisoned blood flowed out of the wound. He was trembling all over.
It was so painful. Really too painful. This kind of pain was beyond what an ordinary person could bear. It was even more painful than death.
He endured the first time, with beads of sweat all over his head. After she wiped the sweat off his face, she prepared for the second time.
"Ah—" He really couldn't bear the pain and let out a loud scream. The painful and distorted screams didn't stop until the third time was over.
Finally, all the poison in his body was forced out. He fainted weakly and listlessly. Liu Yushu stayed by Wu Qing's side with tears streaming down her face and didn't dare to close her eyes all night.
Early the next morning, she woke up groggily. She saw that he had already woken up and was staring at her affectionately. Suddenly, he confessed his love to her, "My heart belongs to you, and so do I." His voice was a bit weak. He grabbed her wrist and forced her palm to be placed on his chest, "This heart beats only for you. You're the only meaning for me to live."
"What about you and Geng Rong..." She was completely stunned.
"It was all fake. I lied to you. There's nothing between me and her." Wu Qing buried his head in her shoulder and closed his eyes contentedly. He carefully smelled the fragrance on her body. The smell of licorice on her made him feel at ease. He whispered gently, "I only want you."
These simple four words instantly made all of Liu Yushu's dissatisfaction and anxiety collapse, turning into a touch of sweetness like honey. His heart was captured by her.
"Since the poisoned blood has been forced out, you should have a good rest. I'll come to see you tomorrow." He held her hand and was reluctant to let her go. He kissed the back of her hand lovingly, "Stay and take care of me. I need you. I really need you."
"Sorry, I really have to go. If I break the family rules, it will be difficult for us to meet again in the future. Believe me, I'll definitely come to see you tomorrow. Wait for me."
He smiled gently and kissed her cheek. He thought she was extremely cute, "Okay, I'll wait for you, no matter how long it takes." It happened that he was also a bit weak. After all, he was injured and his body was a bit weak.
She blushed shyly and nodded gently.
