Liang Qing lifted his head and looked carefully at the injury on his face. At this moment, he was unusually obedient, not moving at all and letting her do whatever she wanted.
The wound appeared to have been simply cleaned and scabbed over, but there were no signs of any medication being applied.
"Do you have any ointment?" Liang Qing asked.
"It will get better in time."
That means no more.
Liang Qing let go of him and walked towards the door. "Find a seat, I'm going out for a bit."
"Where are you going?" Qin Zhouyu grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
“I don’t have any medicine at home.” Liang Qing stared at the scars on his face.
"I don't need to wipe it." Qin Zhouyu awkwardly turned his injured face away.
"Not applying the medicine might leave a mark," Liang Qing sighed.
“I don’t care about that.” Qin Zhouyu pulled her closer, his hand moving up her arm until he cupped her face, and asked in a deep voice, “Do you care?”
“It’s not a matter of whether I care or not,” Liang Qing took a few steps back to avoid his touch, “I just feel that things that can be avoided should be avoided.”
"What do you mean?" Qin Zhouyu frowned, the tenderness from just moments ago vanishing in an instant, and the two returned to their tense standoff.
Liang Qing had long been aware of his unpredictable personality, so she didn't care what he thought and replied, "Don't you think this is a waste of time? You could have left no trace, but you're taking the risk of leaving a trace and indulging in it. Once a trace is left, you may not care now, but if you regret it one day, you'll have to spend more energy to repair the wound."
Qin Zhouyu looked at her with a complicated expression, moved his lips, but ultimately did not refute her.
Upon seeing this, Liang Qing began to reflect on whether she had said too much. It wouldn't be good if Qin Zhouyu noticed anything unusual.
So she said, "What do you want from me?"
The musty smell in the house made Qin Zhouyu cough a few times. "When are you planning to go home?"
This question shocked Liang Qing. Last time she went to the Liang family, she had roughly guessed from Liang's father's attitude that there was more to the story than met the eye when she was kicked out of the house. But she did not expect that Qin Zhouyu would also know about this.
"I won't go back."
"You haven't given up on that plan yet?" Qin Zhouyu asked, somewhat annoyed by her pale face.
Although I don't know what the plan is, I guess it's related to the incident of hurting the four male protagonists. In that case, let's take this opportunity to let bygones be bygones.
Moreover, it seems that Qin Zhouyu knows everything about "her", but for some reason he hasn't told the other three.
If that's the case, then why is Qin Zhouyu targeting her?
The blow on the basketball court and the violence in PE class were enough to show how angry he was. Liang Qing had previously thought it was because "she" had deceived his feelings, but now it seemed that was not the case.
Liang Qing took a breath, looking frustrated, and shook her head. "I gave up a long time ago."
"Then why are you still staying here?" Qin Zhouyu paused, his voice turning cold. "To get closer to Song Zhiji."
Liang Qing instantly understood his true purpose for coming today. Of course, she knew that rumors about her and Song Zhiji were flying everywhere. If Qin Zhouyu paid any attention to her, this matter would definitely reach his ears.
"I'm just atoning for my sins," Liang Qing gave herself a plausible reason.
"Aton for your sins?" Qin Zhouyu looked at Liang Qing in disbelief. After a while, as if he had thought of something, his face darkened like a storm cloud, and he roared uncontrollably, "Then what about me?"
Liang Qing was stunned by his sudden outburst and couldn't speak.
"Have you ever thought about how I feel?" He pointed to his chest, and a sense of oppression immediately enveloped Liang Qing.
"Back then, you chose to get close to those three for your outlandish plan. What did you say to me when I tried to persuade you against it?"
Liang Qing had no answer.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Qin Zhouyu said sarcastically, "Tell me, for the sake of success, you wouldn't even blink an eye if it meant sacrificing your family, sacrificing me, or even sacrificing yourself."
“You made such a solemn vow back then! Now you say you want to atone,” he continued. “Well, you’ve given up, and I should be happy because it means you’ll come back to me.”
“But,” he walked over and grabbed her arms tightly. Only then did Liang Qing notice that his eyes were red from emotional distress.
"But what are you doing? Since you've already given up, why are you still entangled with Song Zhiji? You let him get so close to you..." he said painfully, "Why... why do you ignore my pain?"
“You clearly said that my pain is your pain, and your pain is my pain. No matter how sad or torturous this world is, as long as we think that we still have each other to share our suffering, we can live on.” As he said this, his voice choked up, and tears glistened in his eyes.
“I…” Liang Qing’s heart ached uncontrollably once again, even though this was his love with “her”.
"Liang Qing, tell me," Qin Zhouyu gripped her arms tightly, tears streaming down his face. He seemed unconcerned about her scrapes and tears, letting them fall freely. "Do you still stand by your word?"
Qin Zhouyu stared at Liang Qing, waiting for her answer.
Liang Qing was almost out of breath. Her whole body was stiff. Her hidden emotions told her that she should say some nice things to keep Qin Zhouyu calm. But if she established a relationship with Qin Zhouyu, how would she win over the other three people?
Song Zhiji was just one step away from success. Su Heng already had a plan. Although there was no progress with Yan Su, there would always be a way. But if she got together with Qin Zhouyu, all of this would be ruined.
However, Qin Zhouyu is also one of the targets, and because of "her," Liang Qing has to admit that, whether she likes it or not, she cannot think about Qin Zhouyu completely rationally.
Unable to make a decision quickly, Liang Qing could only give an ambiguous answer: "I don't want to hurt anyone anymore."
"Is Song Zhiji among the people you don't want to hurt?" Qin Zhouyu kept pinning his finger on Song Zhiji.
Liang Qing sighed helplessly: "Why did you single out Song Zhiji?"
"You ask me why I brought him up, why don't you ask yourself why I brought him up?" He released her hands, pinched her cheeks with one hand, and forced her to look at him. "When we were together, you wouldn't let anyone know about our relationship. I had to pretend I didn't know you at school. You said you didn't want to be in the center of public attention. Fine, I only care about you and I don't care. But can you explain to me why your standards don't apply to Song Zhiji?"
