You Bastard

Shen Yi's consciousness seemed to be submerged in a chaotic pool of water, with blurry, indistinct figures in his vision.

I could only vaguely sense a familiar aura, but I couldn't identify who it was.

He remembered that there were many unfamiliar men and women around him, and those hands and those gazes were like venomous snakes, making it hard for him to breathe.

The body struggles instinctively, yet is dragged and pulled repeatedly by a strange desire.

Despair washed over me like a tide, again and again.

He opened his mouth, unconsciously murmuring that name:

"Su Qiu... Su Qiu..."

She didn't come.

This time, she really didn't come.

All those "as long as it's you" promises were just lies.

The clamor within his body grew stronger, a mixture of pain and despair that threatened to tear him apart.

Why isn't Su Qiu coming?

Why...

He was in agony, and could only follow his instincts to save himself, but his mind was also gripped by deep fear.

That's not what he wanted.

I feel so bad.

It hurts so much.

……

I don't know how much time passed.

As if countless days and nights had passed, Shen Yi finally opened his eyes in a blinding white light.

The smell of disinfectant was unfamiliar and cold.

He moved his fingers, but they were terribly stiff.

This is not Su Qiu's villa; this is a hospital.

My heart sank suddenly, and my breathing stopped for a moment.

Is it...

He dared not think any further, but the soreness and weakness in his body silently told the story of everything he had experienced.

"President Shen, you're finally awake!" Lin Wei's voice rang out from beside him, filled with obvious concern. "It's been three days. How are you feeling?"

three days?

Shen Yi's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and his eyes gradually became empty.

Three days have already passed...

During those three days, he was...

This realization was like a dull knife, repeatedly cutting into his nerves.

He stared at the ceiling and suddenly chuckled softly, his laughter filled with despair and self-mockery.

"Boss?" Lin Wei was startled by his reaction and looked at him worriedly. "Are you alright?"

"Get out!" Shen Yi roared, his voice hoarse.

Lin Wei was startled and dared not say anything more, so he quickly retreated.

The door had just closed when it was pushed open again.

Shen Yi assumed Lin Wei had returned, and his tone was chillingly cold:

"I told you to get out!"

He turned his head sharply, but his pupils contracted abruptly when he saw who it was.

Su Qiu stood at the door, holding a thermos in her hand.

Seeing that he was awake, he went straight to the bedside, placed the bucket on the bedside table, and spoke calmly:

"How is it?"

"How could you..." Shen Yi's voice trembled, filled with disbelief and bewilderment, "Weren't you supposed to be absent?"

Su Qiu raised an eyebrow: "What, you want to ask me how I got here?"

She leaned down to look at him, her tone slightly teasing, "If I hadn't come, you would have really benefited those people for the next three days."

"What did you say?" Shen Yi's eyes widened suddenly, his heart clenching as if something had squeezed it. "So... I've been with you for the past three days?"

"Otherwise what?" Su Qiu reached out and poked his forehead. "Are you stupid? You've been crying and calling my name the whole time. Who else could it be but me?"

She was about to make a few more jokes when her wrist was suddenly grabbed.

next second.

Shen Yi suddenly sat up and hugged her tightly.

Followed by.

The sobs, suppressed for so long, finally burst forth, filled with endless grievances and lingering fear:

"Su Qiu, you bastard...you bastard, ahhhhh..."

Su Qiu froze, stunned by his embrace, and stood there speechless: "No, you..."

This reaction was unexpected.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the villain can actually cry, this is the first time I've ever seen that." Xiao Xitian marveled in his mind.

Shen Yi buried his face in the crook of her neck, tears soaking her collar, his voice choked with sobs:

"Damn it... I thought I was with someone else... I feel so bad... You damn woman, you're so late..."

As he cursed, he couldn't help but gently punch her back with his fist.

It was as if he was venting, or as if he was confirming her presence.

Su Qiu sighed helplessly, raised her hand to hug him back, and softened her tone considerably:

"Okay, okay, stop crying."

She patted him on the back. "That's me, not someone else. I've come, I've always been here."

The person in her arms cried even harder, like a wronged child, pouring out all their fear and anxiety.

Su Qiu let him hold her, and her heart suddenly softened.

Sigh, what a proud and aloof cat.

……

Shen Yi cried for a long time, and his crying gradually subsided, leaving only soft sobs, his shoulders still trembling.

Perhaps he felt it was too embarrassing to cry like this in front of Su Qiu.

He kept his face buried in the crook of her neck, refusing to lift it, like a sulking cat.

"Stop crying and eat." Su Qiu patted his back, her tone returning to its usual cadence. "You're lucky you didn't die in three days."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp pain shot through his neck.

Shen Yi bit her hard, so hard that a faint taste of blood filled his mouth.

He finally let out a muffled groan.

Su Qiu didn't even frown, letting him bite her, only raising an eyebrow when he let go:

"What, starving after three days? Want to taste me?"

Shen Yi suddenly raised his head, his eyes red like a rabbit's, wiping away the tears on his face haphazardly with the back of his hand, his voice hoarse and fierce:

"Drink water."

Su Qiu stopped teasing him, picked up the water glass next to her, and carefully fed him the water.

The warm water slid down my throat, relieving the dryness considerably.

"Alright, stop crying." She put down her water glass, her tone tinged with helplessness. "You haven't stopped crying for the past three days; your tears have almost soaked my clothes."

Shen Yi immediately glared at her, his eyes still moist.

But he stubbornly maintained a fierce demeanor, his voice hoarse as he growled:

"Get out! Don't say it!"

The way it looked was like a small animal whose sore spot had been hit; it was clearly still vulnerable, but it insisted on raising its thorns.

Looking at his reddened eyes and tightly pursed lips, Su Qiu suddenly felt a little amused, yet also a little tender.

She didn't argue further, but simply opened the thermos, ladled out a bowl of porridge, and handed it to him.

"Eat something, otherwise you won't have the energy to argue with me."

Shen Yi pursed his lips, no longer refusing, took the bowl, and lowered his head to sip the water.

However, the slight redness at the base of his ears betrayed his unease.

Shen Yi sipped his porridge, but aches and pains surged through his body like a tide, and he felt exhausted even in the deepest part of his bones.

It's almost impossible to find a spot that doesn't hurt.

He frowned, finding it difficult even to lift his hand.

"Eat more so you have the strength to feel the pain," Su Qiu said, adding another half bowl of porridge to his bowl.

Shen Yi put down his spoon and looked at her: "How did I end up in the hospital?"

Su Qiu sat casually on the chair next to him, picking up an apple and peeling it.

"Your medicine was too strong; it took three days for the effects to completely subside."

We were worried your body wouldn't be able to handle it and you'd suffer any long-term effects, so we brought you to the hospital.

Shen Yi was taken aback when he saw that she spoke of this matter with a calm expression, without the slightest bit of guilt.

He was instantly furious and slammed the spoon against the rim of the bowl.

"How dare you say that! You're not human! You're an animal!"
