Liu Siyue was forced to endure the pain.
Crying, she begged Qin Chao:
"Don't do this, please don't do this to me.
"Qin Chao, it wasn't my fault. I really didn't do anything.
"Please, I'm begging you, just let me go, okay?
"You want money, don't you? I'll give it to you. I'll give you however much you want."
Qin Chao was finally satisfied. He gently stroked Liu Siyue's face:
"Siyue, baby, I'm your boyfriend.
"It's perfectly normal for us to do this.
"Don't let it weigh on your mind.
"Look at me. Look at me."
Trembling, Liu Siyue looked at him.
Qin Chao repeated, "Liu Siyue, remember this: I am your boyfriend.
"We are a proper couple, a couple with an intimate life.
"Everyone else is in the past. You can only listen to me.
"Otherwise, I won't want you either, do you understand?
"If I don't want you, no one else in this world will ever want you.
"Remember, I am the only one who wants you. I am the only one who doesn't despise this ruined body of yours.
"Liu Siyue, do you remember?"
Liu Siyue looked as if she were possessed.
All she could hear was Qin Chao repeating over and over:
"You're ruined. Your body was ruined a long time ago.
"But baby, I don't despise you. I still love you.
"Baby, do you love me?"
She wanted to say no. She hated him. She hated Qin Chao to death.
But Qin Chao immediately whispered in her ear:
"Wangjia Village. Wangjia Village.
"Liu Siyue, if you don't behave, I'll take you to Wangjia Village."
"No!"
She covered her ears tightly:
"No, I don't want to go to Wangjia Village. I never want to go back to Wangjia Village ever again.
"Please, don't take me there. I'll behave. I promise I'll behave."
Satisfied, Qin Chao took many photos of her.
Finally, he even started recording a video:
"Come on, baby, say what you just said to me one more time."
Liu Siyue stared blankly into the camera, as if hypnotized:
"I will behave. I will always listen to you.
"I am your woman."
Qin Chao was finally thrilled.
He lay down beside Liu Siyue:
"Baby, let's not go back tonight."
"No!"
Liu Siyue instinctively refused:
"Mom and Dad will be waiting for me. If I don't go back, they'll worry."
Qin Chao bit her ear again:
"Baby, Wang... jia... Village..."
Liu Siyue didn't dare to refuse anymore.
But after ten o'clock, Qin Chao still took her home.
He wasn't afraid at all now that Liu Siyue would change her mind and break up with him again.
Because he now held a fatal leverage over her.
Before leaving, he instructed Liu Siyue:
"If your parents and older brother ask, do you know what to say?"
Liu Siyue nodded obediently:
"I know. I know."
When she got home, she saw Su Jing indeed still sitting on the sofa waiting for her.
Her heart pounded, and Qin Chao's words echoed in her mind:
"You're dirty, you're ruined. No one will like you. Only me."
She didn't dare to get close to Su Jing.
Su Jing, however, reached out to pull her close:
"Why are you back so late? Did you have enough for dinner?
"Do you want a late-night snack? Mom will make it for you."
Liu Siyue subconsciously dodged Su Jing's touch.
She kept her head down:
"I'm full, Mom. I'm tired, I'm going to take a shower first."
Returning to her room, she closed the door.
She crouched behind the door, covering her mouth as she cried.
What should she do?
She was dirty again now. So dirty.
A message from Qin Chao came through again:
[Baby, don't worry. Even if you are dirty and ruined, I still love you.]
[Remember, I am the only one who loves you.]
She submerged herself completely in cold water.
She wanted to wash away all the disgusting things.
But no matter how hard she scrubbed, she couldn't scrub her heart.
She was dirty. So dirty.
She soaked in the cold water like that for the entire night.
She soaked until she passed out, and soaked until she woke up again.
It wasn't until Su Jing came to call her for breakfast.
That she finally got out of the cold water and prepared to leave the room.
But before she could even walk out the door, a sudden wave of dizziness hit her, and she collapsed on the floor.
Su Jing screamed in panic:
"Doctor! Call a doctor!"
Liu Renzhi didn't even have time to put his clothes on properly before rushing over to carry Liu Siyue to the bed.
The moment he touched Liu Siyue, his heart leaped into his throat:
"Mom, she has a fever. Come feel this, she's burning up."
Su Jing touched her and immediately pulled her hand back:
"No, forget calling a doctor. Renzhi, hurry, take her to the hospital."
Liu Renzhi got to the hospital as fast as he could.
The doctor gave Liu Siyue a fever-reducing injection.
Su Jing sat beside her, shedding tears.
Liu Renzhi asked her, "What time did Yueyue get back yesterday?"
Su Jing said, "Not too late, a little past ten. Why?"
Liu Renzhi didn't say much more, but he felt a faint sense of unease in his heart, feeling as though something had happened.
When Chen Hui was handling the discharge procedures for Lin Wanyi, she saw Liu Renzhi.
She thought Liu Renzhi was there to see Lin Wanyi:
"Brother Liu, Sister is getting discharged today. Are you here to see her?"
Before Liu Renzhi could speak, Chen Hui noticed Liu Siyue lying on the hospital bed.
She asked anxiously, "Brother, what's wrong with Siyue?
"She looked perfectly fine yesterday."
Liu Renzhi looked back at the soundly sleeping Liu Siyue:
"It's nothing serious. Just a bit of a fever. She's already had an injection and taken some medicine.
"I'll go check on Wanyi."
Lin Wanyi's wounds were mostly healed, and she no longer needed crutches.
She just couldn't exert too much force on it.
Liu Renzhi instructed her:
"Did you remember everything the doctor said? Don't put weight on it, and try not to use this leg for half a month."
Lin Wanyi nodded, "I remember. Don't worry."
Despite this, Liu Renzhi still asked her to wait a little longer.
He made a phone call: "Buy a wheelchair and bring it here. Hurry."
Lin Wanyi wanted to refuse: "Brother, I don't need a wheelchair yet."
Liu Renzhi rubbed the bridge of his nose:
"Wanyi, Yueyue is sick. She's right next door.
"I'm worried about both of you. Just listen to me, okay?"
"Siyue is sick?"
Lin Wanyi hadn't known. She leaned on her crutches and walked a bit faster.
Seeing Liu Siyue's pale face, her heart ached.
"Auntie, what happened to Siyue?"
Su Jing looked haggard; Lin Wanyi even spotted a white hair on her head.
She felt a pang of sympathy.
Su Jing brought her a chair:
"Have a seat first. She's fine, just a fever.
"Wanyi, I heard about what happened to you from Renzhi. I was actually planning to come see you today.
"But I didn't expect... sigh.
"Wanyi, people have to look forward. Don't get tangled up with a scoundrel like Wang Hao.
"You can't reason with people like them."
Lin Wanyi nodded, feeling a bit guilty:
"I've troubled Brother Liu again this time. Auntie, nothing like this will ever happen again.
"I just thought about things too simply before."
Su Jing didn't blame her, but instead instructed Liu Renzhi:
"You take Wanyi home."
Lin Wanyi quickly said:
"No need, Siyue needs someone here."
Su Jing looked at Liu Siyue on the bed again and said:
"It's fine, she's just sleeping.
"With the doctors and nurses here, you don't need to worry.
"Auntie will visit you when I have time, and when you're free, bring Keke over to our house to play more often.
"I really do love children."
