2528 Side Story 32: Night
It was quite late at night, and the night breeze was slightly cold.
The light outlined the man’s lean and strong figure.
His face was hidden in the dark and not very clear. Only his eyes were especially cold and sharp.
He was only wearing a thin shirt. From a distance, she could clearly feel the heat coming from his body. It seemed that even she felt inexplicably hot.
Her throat felt dry, and her heart seemed to be clenched tightly. The violent heartbeat echoed in her ears.
Her fingers, which were clutching the hem of her dress, moved. Her palms were slightly sweaty.
He asked her why she was here tonight. She hadn’t thought about this before, but she couldn’t sleep in bed, so she came.
But at this moment, his straightforward question suddenly made her a little helpless and shocked.
Her red lips moved, and her thick and long eyelashes fluttered slightly. “I wanted to come, so I came.”
Her voice was as soft as ever, with a little spoiled temper.
However, he didn’t seem to be satisfied with this answer. Hence, he didn’t retreat as Xiao Ba had expected and instead closed in. “Why did you want to come?”
Xiao Ba was forced to lean back, but there was a door behind her. She really couldn’t retreat anymore.
Her body was a little tense. Even she didn’t know where this nervousness came from.
The candlelight was dim, and her vision was unclear. However, she could clearly feel Yan Qing’s gaze on her face.
For some reason, she suddenly panicked. She subconsciously looked away and muttered softly, “Why do you care?”
Yan Qing didn’t speak. He only looked at her quietly, as if he had extremely good patience.
Every minute and second felt extremely long.
Xiao Ba felt a little dizzy. She felt that she had really lost badly in terms of aura.
Then, she mustered her courage and looked up at him. “That’s the second question. I refuse to answer it.”
With that, she reached out to push the person in front of her without thinking. “Move aside, I’m going back.”
In her panic, she forgot that he was still injured and pressed against his wound.
Yan Qing grunted and took half a step back, frowning slightly.
Xiao Ba was shocked and immediately felt guilty. “You—are you alright? I didn’t do it on purpose! I really—”
She hurriedly went forward to take a look at Yan Qing’s injuries.
Yan Qing shook his head. “It’s fine.”
There was a hint of forbearance in his voice.
Xiao Ba was in a mess.
She had seen with her own eyes how serious Yan Qing’s injuries were. It hadn’t been easy for him to treat them, but she actually gave him this blow again. It was really adding fire to the flame.
She wondered if the wound had opened again…
She bit her lip and hesitated for a long moment, but she didn’t reach out to touch him again. Her throat was tight, and her voice was dry. “I-I’m sorry…”
To Xiao Ba, spitting out these words was really an extremely difficult thing.
There were only three girls in the Thirteen Yue Guard, and all of them were doted on. She was also the most beautiful and charming. No matter where she went, she was like the moon surrounded by stars.
She was proud and wilful. How could she know how to say the words ‘I’m sorry?’ But now, she said it without hesitation because… she did feel very uncomfortable.
Although Yan Qing didn’t lie to her or bully her from the beginning to the end, she still felt uncomfortable.
Thinking about it, perhaps it was guilt and grievance. But when mixed together, it became an incomparably complicated state of mind.
There were many things she wanted to say, but when it reached her throat, she couldn’t say anything.
Looking at her flustered and nervous appearance, Yan Qing sighed in his heart. I seem to have… pushed her too hard.
After thinking for a moment, he suppressed the many emotions in his heart and restrained his eyes. Then, he let go, took a step back, and stood up straight. “You don’t have to apologize.”
In an instant, Xiao Ba felt that the oppressive aura dissipated a lot.
She glanced at Yan Qing quickly. “Are you really alright?”
“Yes.”
“That, that’s good…”
Xiao Ba actually wanted to check his injuries again, but the current situation… didn’t seem appropriate. She had a feeling that she should leave as soon as possible.
There was something wrong with her tonight, and with Yan Qing. It was a little dangerous.
As she thought about this, she heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Yan Qing really didn’t plan to continue asking.
BBut in Yan Qing’s eyes, it was as if she had finally obtained a chance to escape.
In the darkness, he frowned and his expression turned cold. However, Xiao Ba didn’t see it.
As she turned to open the door, she said unintentionally, “Then, I’ll go back now. I still have to wake up early tomorrow to see Lin Zhifei—”
Before she could finish, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist. Right on the heels of that, an irresistible force came from behind.
She exclaimed.
By the time she reacted, she was already pulled over. Someone stepped forward and pushed her against the door.
The man, who had been calm just now, crossed the line again. This time, he leaned closer than before.
His grip was strong as he grabbed her wrist tightly.
Xiao Ba couldn’t help but frown. “It hurts!”
Yan Qing softened his movements slightly, but he was still pressed in front of her, so close. He asked, “What did you say?”
Xiao Ba was shocked by his sudden action. When she heard the coldness in his voice, she couldn’t help but be stunned. “I, I… I didn’t say anything…”
She tried to struggle and raised her other hand, wanting to push him. But as soon as she touched his shoulder, she felt the gauze wrapped under his clothes.
Only then did she remember his injuries, and she didn’t dare to move.
Just like that, one of her hands was tightly held by Yan Qing, making her place one hand on his shoulder, unable to move.
She was completely restrained.
Xiao Ba looked at him, but she couldn’t see anything on his face. She only felt that he had never shown her such a cold expression.
She immediately felt bitter and aggrieved. What is this? He left without saying a word. When he returned ten days later, not only did he not plan to explain to her, but he also hid his injuries, making me feel like an outsider. I knew that he was seriously injured, so she came over in the middle of the night. But how did he respond? Apart from a word of thanks, there was nothing else!
Now that I want to leave, he refuses to let me go and even bullied me like this!
Xiao Ba gritted her teeth and glared at him, her eyes burning. “I said that I still have to take care of Lin Zhifei tomorrow! His injuries are much more serious than yours! What, is there a problem?!”
“Are you unhappy? Why are you unhappy?!”
“If you didn’t hear me clearly just now, I’ll say it again! Not only will I treat his wound, but I’ll also take care of his daily life! Tomorrow, I’ll—”
Her voice stopped abruptly, and all the remaining syllables were swallowed by his lips.
