Chapter 111 You Kissed Me

After Qin Zhao finished treating the injury to his cheekbone, he unconsciously began to scrutinize Shen Yanci.

He had high brow bones, a straight nose, and dark eyelashes that drooped down, making him an exceptionally handsome man.

She held her breath and stared at him, somewhat dazed.

Shen Yanci's eyelashes fluttered, as if she wanted to lift them.

She stopped her, saying, "It's...it's not ready yet."

Shen Yanci's eyelids remained obediently lowered as she continued to apply ointment to the wound on his forehead, as if she were playing some kind of jigsaw puzzle.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a tear on Shen Yanci's earlobe, which looked terrifying.

She frowned as she disinfected and applied the medicine.

Shen Yanci was trembling, and her ears were bright red.

Does it hurt?
She hesitated for a moment, then blew on it gently.

Shen Yanci suddenly grabbed her waist: "No—"

He suddenly moved, and Qin Zhao's lips pressed against his ear and face.

Both of them froze.

The soft, warm touch spread from his earlobe to his limbs and bones, and Shen Yanci felt as if an electric current was rushing up his tailbone.

Qin Zhao's eyes widened, and she forgot to breathe. Trembling as if she had seen a ghost, she moved backward, stammering, "I, I..."

Shen Yanci's Adam's apple bobbed heavily as he concealed the surging emotions in his eyes. He lifted his eyelids and looked at her: "Kiss me."

"..."

Qin Zhao's lips moved for a long time before he finally managed to stammer, "I didn't."

"Who did you just kiss?"

"..."

Qin Zhao glanced away for a moment, then met his gaze again, her tone rising: "It was you who suddenly moved, and..."

He even touched her waist.

Shen Yanci gave him a look that said, "Let's see how you explain this, you lecherous bastard," and said calmly, "And what?"

Qin Zhao pursed her lips, shoved the cotton swab into his hand, and said resignedly, "Do it yourself."

Shen Yanci looked at the cotton swab in her hand, then glanced at Qin Zhao, who was half a meter away from her: "What do you mean? You're just going to ignore me after you've kissed me?"

"..."

Qin Zhao pursed his lips, feeling both annoyed and embarrassed.

"We already kissed, why are you making that face? I didn't say anything." Shen Yanci moved her chin slightly towards him. "Move closer, I can't see my face anyway."

Qin Zhao pursed his lips, took a new cotton swab, and continued to apply the remaining wound: "You are not allowed to move."

Shen Yanci obediently hummed in agreement.

But this time he didn't close his eyes.

Qin Zhao was about to tell him to close his eyes.

Shen Yanci asked matter-of-factly, "You poke your eye when you apply lipstick?"

"..."

Qin Zhao pressed on his wound, and Shen Yanci hissed and glared at her.

Qin Zhao glanced at him guiltily and softened his movements.

She was really close.

Shen Yanci's Adam's apple bobbed, and he suddenly felt that opening his eyes wasn't such a good choice after all. He didn't know where to look: "Why did you stop blowing?"

Qin Zhao lowered his eyelids and continued what he was doing: "I'm afraid that kissing you would tarnish your purity."

"..."

Shen Yanci half-closed his eyelids, a faint breath in his throat: "You really have this idea?"

"..."

"Hiss—Qin Zhao is in pain."

"..."

All the visible wounds had been treated. Qin Zhao looked at him and asked, "Are there any other wounds?"

Shen Yanci paused for a moment: "Back, abs."

"..."

Qin Zhao: "So, are you going to take your clothes off here?" "..."

Qin Zhao unscrewed the bottle of mineral water, handed it to him, and then showed him the package that looked like an antibiotic: "Two pills a day, only one today."

Shen Yanci put the medicine in his mouth, took a sip of water, and tilted his head back to gulp it down.

Qin Zhao admitted that even with so many wounds on Shen Yanci's body, he didn't look disheveled. Instead, he had the kind of "beautiful, strong, and tragic" vibe that Jiang Man had described.

That was a sense of superiority and privilege cultivated over a long period of time.

But she knew that Shen Yanci shouldn't be like this.

His life has been smooth sailing from the very beginning. Just as Chen Yu said, he has everything and can get whatever he wants.

He is like the moon, and the moon should hang in the sky.

It shouldn't be stained with even a speck of dust.

He shouldn't be like this now, covered in injuries.

Qin Zhao lowered his head, somewhat dejected.

"Yanci, you should stay away from people like Jiang Yu from now on." Qin Zhao's mouth moved slightly. "He's a madman."

She could tell that Jiang Yu was holding back. He was a very mercenary person, a bully who preyed on the weak. She didn't dare to think about what would happen if he didn't know about Shen Yanci's family background, or if he really went crazy.

Even if Shen Yanci wins in the end, so what? It's not worth it for a mermaid to fight to the death.

Shen Yanci, someone from a certain social circle, probably should never have encountered someone like Jiang Yu in her entire life; ultimately, it was because of her that she was implicated.

She lifted her eyelids slightly, feeling an indescribable tightness in her chest.

"And you, knowing he's a madman, still dared to go near him?"

"When did I go near him?" Qin Zhao was too busy avoiding him. "I had no choice. You're different."

She's already endured everything she could before; she knows how to avoid danger. At most, it'll just be another round, which she doesn't care about.

But Shen Yanci is different; he shouldn't even have his eyes dirty with that kind of person.

“How are we different?” Shen Yanci looked at her, then shifted his gaze. “It seems like you’ve never trusted me.”

Qin Zhao's eyelashes trembled slightly as he gripped the trash bag, his voice strained as he said, "I... I don't distrust you."

However, she had too many unbearable things on her mind.

She didn't want to expose those things to others.

Not just Shen Yanci, but even Qin Qiong.

It's not that I don't want to, it's more that I don't dare.

She doesn't believe in herself.

She didn't believe anyone could accept all of her.

She was a cautious, cowardly girl.

Just as she felt that Shen Yanci was the person she cared about most besides Qin Qiong, she wouldn't tell him.

Qin Qiong kept teaching her how to express herself and gave her so much love that she never dared to imagine before, but she just couldn't do it.

She can't.

It's as if she's about to surrender all her vulnerabilities; what awaits her then?

She has never regretted the choices she made, and she is willing to bear all the consequences, but there are some consequences that she cannot bear.

Qin Zhao pursed his lips: "Are you asking about the secret he mentioned?"

A conflicted anxiety was evident on her face.

Shen Yanci gave a bitter smile: "It's okay if you don't want to tell me."

He looked at her with his dark eyes: "I just don't want to see him threaten you."

Qin Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and her gaze darted around nervously.

“Qin Zhao, what you just said is wrong. We’re no different.” Shen Yanci looked at her. “If you were the one who got hurt today, I would be even more upset than I am now.”

Qin Zhao was utterly defeated, her breathing rapid: "Actually—"

Her vocal cords seemed to be stuck together. She began to resent Jiang Yu, resenting him for not actually saying it, which instead made her think clearly, weigh the pros and cons, and consider the future.

She sighed, "Could you give me some time? I need to check with my mom first."

"..."

Zhao Zhao, you really are a mama's boy!
