The next second, I was stunned, unable to breathe; his hand tightly gripped my neck. What was this? Classic case of kindness being punished! His face slowly came close to mine, eerily beautiful, with my blood still on his lips. He pressed his forehead against mine, counting his breaths. Did he want to kill me? Before I could confirm my suspicion, he spoke, “Is it tough?” Bastard! “Never think of betraying me, understand?” What else could I do? Seeing me nod, his lips met mine, then he let go, and I desperately sought the air in his mouth. He was even more aggressive, both of us had turned into beasts at that moment; I for survival, and him? He lifted my skirt, ripped my underwear, and forcefully entered… What do you take me for! Why am I always left in tatters? “Why do you treat me like this…” I hugged my legs, huddled in the corner, weakly asking, more like talking to myself. He just continued to run the bathwater, not saying a word. “The water’s ready, a hot bath will make you feel better. I’ll be outside if you need anything.” He closed the door without even glancing at me. Standing in front of the mirror, I looked at myself; if not for the visible scars, I looked quite presentable. But who knows what’s wrapped under this wet, tattered cloth! Reluctant to take off that layer of rags, I sat in the bathtub, legs hugged, from midnight to dawn, feeling the water cool from scorching to bone-chilling. What was I thinking? Just a trivial question. The door opened, and Qi Yufeng paused, then lifted me out of the water, stripped off my dress, wrapped me tightly in a large towel, and scolded me fiercely while holding me in his arms, “You want to get back at me, don’t you? Well, I’ll tell you, you’ve succeeded!” I looked up at him with a triumphant smile, “You’re awake? Good morning~” I clearly remembered when he threw things last night, when he got drunk, when he went to vomit, when he fell asleep, but I didn’t expect him to wake up so soon. He seemed very urgent; while he was dialing, I quietly closed my eyes, feeling so uncomfortable… … … … … … I had a high fever, hehehe… “Miss Liu, open the door, you must take your medicine,” Dr. Zhou called from outside. “Thank you, sir, just leave the medicine, I’ll take it myself, and take two ingots of silver from Fourth Sister.” “That won’t do, the master has ordered that I must watch you take the medicine, please don’t make it hard for me.” “You think the silver isn’t enough? Take whatever you like from the hall, there are some fine wines Qi Yufeng treasures in the wine cabinet, they must be worth a lot, take them all~” In any case, I won’t open, won’t open, won’t open the door, jumping on the bed with a high fever, I’m going to grow taller, wahahaha~ “I’m sorry, sir, there’s nothing I can do…” A bolt from the blue, he, he’s back? The sound of keys… Oh no… The door opened, Qi Yufeng came in, pulled me down, covered me with a blanket, “Who gets sick like this and still jumps around? Take your medicine and rest!” “No, I…” “No excuses for not taking medicine when sick!” “But” I’ll be taller, Er Yu will be even taller… “Take it!” T-T Er Yu, if you want to blame someone, blame that old man… From that day on, Qi Yufeng came back at set times every day to make sure I took my medicine. I couldn’t pull any tricks anymore, and even more sadly, I couldn’t go out, covered in bruises and marks, how could I scare people outside… In the bathroom, I spun around in front of the mirror, ah, I regret it! Why don’t I have a decent sexy nightgown? Regretfully looking at myself in the mirror, this one with the least fabric was… the watermelon pajamas… Ugh, I really want to bang my head against the wall! Never mind! With the determination of Dong Cunrui blowing up a bunker, I charged forward, overcoming all obstacles! Qi Yufeng was leaning against the headboard reading documents, I snatched those papers and threw them on the floor, before he could react, I climbed onto him, teasingly kissing his most sensitive Adam’s apple while pulling at his belt, slipping into his bathrobe. While he was distracted, Qi Yufeng flipped me over, pinning my restless hands, “Can’t you wait now that you’re better, little watermelon?” Oh, mom! Little watermelon?! “Anyway, tonight you have to listen to me~” I acted petulant, clinging to him like an octopus, he laughed, spreading his hands, “Alright, I’ll listen to you.” Secretly pleased, “Now, lie on the bed!” He obediently lay down, looking smug, ready for a show. As soon as he got up, I felt lighter, stretched, and pulled out his bathrobe belt, whipping it down a few times, hmph, little watermelon? “Call me SM Queen!” PIAPIA~ HOHO, thinking about last night, I was such an enthusiastic watermelon, no no! An enthusiastic queen! And Qi Yufeng’s unbearable screams, “Baby, more, more!” … I blushed… With a head feeling like it had been boiled, I quickly dressed and rushed out the door. The sound of water came from the bathroom, Qi Yufeng was out of the bath! He roared angrily, “Liu Yixia!” He rushed out, “Stop right there!” Too late, I had already shut the door. Downstairs, I raised a hand to shield my eyes from the sun, looking up, he was indeed there. I could vaguely see the seventeenth floor, Qi Yufeng bare-chested, with only a towel around his waist, leaning on the balcony, probably staring at me, though I couldn’t see his expression. I happily waved at him and shouted, “Sexy little wind, I won’t be back tonight, no need to cook for me!” Oh, that was a mistake, this building is so tall, he probably couldn’t hear, but everyone around must have, ruining his reputation again, sorry about that. But right now, he should be more concerned about how to deal with the marks all over his body, right? He can wear a suit, but what about his neck? Would he wear a scarf? Oh ho ho, now it’s your turn, HIAHIAHIA~ 31, tomorrow is my, Liu Yixia’s, 21st birthday! Qi Yufeng has been working late for two nights straight, seems like he’s rushing some big case, so I eagerly went to his office early in the morning to deliver breakfast, but he was still in a meeting. When he came out, I clung to him, whispering mysteriously, “HI, are you free tonight?” He pinched my cheek, “I don’t know, I have to try to settle this case tonight.” “Then I won’t keep you, but be quick, okay!” “Yeah” He smiled, watching me to the door, then lowered his head to review documents, forgetting the breakfast on the table. He’s so busy, how do I tell him to celebrate my birthday tonight? That night, Baba Huahua, Gao Miao, members of the Narcissus workgroup, and a whole bunch of friends gathered together in a large karaoke room, going wild and waiting for the sacred stroke of midnight. Every now and then, I would slip out to make a phone call.
—”I’m still busy, let’s talk later.”
—”Not yet.”
—”I’m in a meeting.”
—”Just wait a bit longer, it’s almost time.”
It was almost midnight! I had sung until my voice was hoarse. I told myself, this would be the last call! However, the response I got was, “It’s almost time, come to the company and wait for me now.” I hung up directly; he actually, actually wanted me to go to him and wait?! My phone rang again; it was Qi Yufeng’s usual deep voice, “Tell me, where are you right now.” This time, I turned off my phone, took a sip of my drink, but couldn’t resist, and grabbed the MIC to scream, “Ah! Ah!!!!!!” The entire room fell silent, listening to my shouts, and even the waitstaff and manager outside peeked in several times, probably thinking we had all gone mad.
