Chapter 31 - Then what right do you have to say that about her?! (1)
Rewind a bit.
"Have you blocked her yet?" Shi Qingyin's indolent voice came from behind her. Jiang Shuyao's finger trembled, but she still didn't press the button on the screen.
Yue Xia's avatar was a naive-looking golden retriever with its tongue sticking out. Jiang Shuyao lightly bit her lip and raised her eyes. "We'll still see her in the future. There's no need…"
"Why do you still want to see her? What's so good about seeing her?" The lines on Shi Qingyin's forehead deepened. "Hurry up, stop wasting your time on this. Girls are too soft-hearted."
Jiang Shuyao didn't speak as if she was holding her breath. She looked down at the golden retriever puppy.
She had already returned her gift and said such harsh words.
… And yet, she didn't want to block Yue Xia. If she did so, then Yue Xia and her might never be friends.
"You shouldn't have added her to begin with." Shi Qingyin's footsteps gradually drew close. "We just made up, and you're going to go against me on such a trivial matter?"
While biting her lip, Jiang Shuyao quickly copied Yue Xia's number and blocked it before he could take her phone. "... Okay, I did it."
Shi Qingyin smiled in satisfaction and gently rubbed her drooping head. "Very good."
They were in Shi Qingyin's room. He had said a lot of things to her and promised her a lot of things as well. She didn't know if his words were true or not, but she couldn't be bothered to try to figure that out. She was so weary.
If they got back together, she wouldn't have to think about these things.
She thought the matter was over, but Shi Qingyin said, "Show me your phone. You haven't talked to any bad people, right?"
Like a puppet on strings, Jiang Shuyao handed her phone over.
Shi Qingyin was very satisfied with her obedience. There was a smile on his lip, but his expression immediately darkened when he saw something. "Why are you keeping in contact with Lin Shu?"
Startled, Jiang Shuyao looked up. "What?"
"Don't play dumb." Shi Qingyin's tone was full of possessiveness as he interrogated. "I keep forgetting to ask. Were you keeping in touch with Lin Shu when you were living abroad? What's his relationship with Yue Xia? Did you meet him behind my back?"
"I'm not doing anything behind your back." Jiang Shuyao explained, "He was my junior in school. Our conversations are only about academics. Nothing else."
"Oh, academics." Shi Qingyin sneered and jealousy said, "Only a stupid woman like you would believe that. I've used that excuse to death."
Jiang Shuyao lowered her head and pursed her lips.
Endure, endure it a bit longer. He's only angry because he loves you too much.
"Limit your contact with my brother too." Shi Qingyin wanted to say something, but then he dropped the topic and changed the subject." He turned his head and gazed at her. He meaningfully said, "We haven't spent the night together in a long time."
Jiang Shuyao instinctively resisted. "Umm, but…"
Not allowing her to say anymore, Shi Qingyin reached for the hem of her shirt.
Jiang Shuyao scooted back. With her eyes lowered, she said, "I'm not feeling well today."
"How uncomfortable could you be? Stop fussing. Come here." She dodged his touch again. Shi Qingyin impatiently tsked and slightly angrily asked, "Why are you being difficult again?"
"I just don't feel like it." Jiang Shuyao explained, but she started to wonder why she had to explain. "I'm not being difficult."
Shi Qingyin ignored her words and wrapped his arm around her waist. "I want to."
The usual affectionate move became unbearable. Jiang Shuyao endured for a bit, but in the end, she still pushed him away and shook her head. "Let's do it another day."
Shi Qingyin's demands were repeatedly rejected. He began to get angry. "You never said that you weren't in the mood before. Why-"
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Shuyao interrupted him with a sharp voice. "I just don't want to! I'm not in the mood! Why do I have to satisfy you?! Why can't I just not want to do this?! Do I not have the right to refuse?!"
Shi Qingyin's movements came to a sudden stop.
"When I think about what you've done… I don't want to." Jiang Shuyao was short of breath. She took a few steps back and turned her head away. She quietly said, "Give me space to calm down."
Once Shi Qingyin recovered from his shock, he scoffed.
"What have I done? How long are you going to keep bringing that up? Fine, if you want to keep digging up the past, then have you dated anyone while you were abroad? I haven't quibbled with you over that. You still haven't cut off contact with Lin Shu after coming back. Is he also your boyfriend? Or an ex-boyfriend?"
Jiang Shuyao's face turned pale. His accusations left her incredulous. "I haven't…"
The mood froze. Shi Qingyin stared at disheartened face. He slowly softened his tone and hugged her. "Let's be more tolerant of each other, okay?"
Jiang Shuyao could only blankly nod.
When Shi Qingyin touched her, she didn't stop him. He chuckled and complacently said, "I've already said that you're different from those women. Take Yue Xia for example, a person like her, I wouldn't even look at her if she strips in front of me…"
Before he could finish speaking, his field of view changed.
He changed from a person to a flying top.
What a familiar scene.
A familiar sharp pain came from the left side of his face. Compared to what happened in the empty boxing gym, his landing this time was much more miserable. Shi Qingyin didn't even know how many pieces of furniture he hit along the way. When his ribs were hit hard against the edge of the bed, he felt like his body was falling apart. He rolled over a few times before stopping. Covering his face, he blankly looked up.
A new injury appeared on his old face. Before the slap mark on his right cheek faded, another one appeared on his left cheek. One on the left, and one on the right. Symmetrical and harmonious. It was a beautiful picture. Shi Qingyin felt as if his soul had left his body. He felt as if he had been walloped by a baking pan and was about to reincarnate.
Jiang Shuyao was within seven steps from him. She slowly put down her hand. She was looking down at him. For the very first time, he saw uncontrollable rage on her face.
"She lied to me." Jiang Shuyao gritted her teeth. "Then what right do you have to say that about her?!"
