His heart hurt slightly.
After a while, he said, "Okay."
Soon someone gave her birth control pills.
Nuonuo ate it, but she was still a little uneasy. After all, more than twenty-four hours passed after their first time. She hadn't experienced this and didn't know if the medicine would work.
She laid down quietly without much resentment in her eyes.
She just suddenly thought that all of them, to her, were just characters in the book.
A story.
She said, "Go out, I don't want to see you."
The calmer the tone, the more it stabbed him.
The pain in his eyes spread slightly, and he didn't really go. Instead, he said softly, "I'm sorry."
She smiled sideways, "It's ok."
Qiu Li would rather she beat him and scold him. But the more peaceful she was, the more panicked and depressed he felt. As if in her eyes, there would be no more hatred, let alone other emotions.
He took her hand and put it on his chest, "Nuonuo ... don't do that, you could beat me and scold me, but you look at me."
Nuonuo really didn't want to follow that sad routine with him.
She said it didn't matter. What else did he want?
Her small face wrinkled but her tone was a little sweet, "No beating. My hands hurt. If you want to hear the truth, I don't want to see you."
Nuonuo didn't want to see his reaction. But he didn't leave, she didn't care about telling him her feelings, and shut her eyes to sleep. She had a fever, it was hard to breath. Since she came to this world, she had fever two times, both of which were bad luck for her.
Nuonuo actually wanted to make a quiet phone call to Jiang Ying, but she couldn't use her cell phone to call. She was afraid of Qiu Li monitoring her.
So she calmly recuperated for a few days.
The National Day holidays passed quickly, and she was discharged from the hospital with no major physical problems.
Aunt Chen was uncomfortable in the villa these past few days. A good wedding was suddenly canceled. She was still wondering whether Qiu Li and Nuonuo had an argument. When Nuonuo was back, she was wearing a hooded sweater. Everyone knew that she was afraid of the cold, so they guessed she was dressed this way.
Aunt Chen was relieved, but when she saw the bruises on Nuonuo's face and neck, her expression changed.
For a few moments she thought that Nuonuo had suffered a misfortune.
In fact, it was misfortune, but it was the man who caused the misfortune.
So Nuonuo said nothing to her. She nodded and went in.
She had to find a way to contact Jiang Ying now.
She had been thinking about Lu Xiang for a long time these days, but she didn't say anything in the end. Everyone had to make a choice. She heard the reason she betrayed her before she was knocked out. She didn't have to ask Lu Xiangle.
It was just that the happy girl in her memory was gone forever.
(Lu Xiang: her high school classmate)
Her university started tomorrow, and Nuonuo returned to her original room at night on the second floor, next to Qiu Li.
The villa was cleaned.
So even if she didn't live in it for so long, the room was clean.
Nuonuo was still worried about the monitoring problem, so she didn't call Jiang Ying. She took a shower at night and went to bed. Before falling asleep, she saw the tall figure at the door of the room.
Nuonuo coughed- her throat was not well yet.
He was thick-skinned and walked in.
The man's voice was low, "Nuonuo."
Nuonuo didn't want to deal with him at this time. The hope of her returning home was in sight. As soon as she walked away from this world, he would become just a character in the book.
So she looked at him quietly with a pair of black pupils.
Nuonuo knew that this man had feelings for her. Although how much he loved her was unclear, he should have no confidence to touch her at this time.
He gently touched her cheek and coaxed her softly, "Go back to sleep with me, eh?"
She shook her head.
He swallowed and seemed to have a hard time speaking. As soon as he spoke, Nuonuo knew he was shameless, "Then can I sleep here?"
The question was very polite, but Nuonuo knew what kind of virtue he had. Even if she refused, it would make no difference to Qiu Li.
She pulled the quilt and covered herself.
She said with a muffled voice, "Are you going to sleep on the floor?"
To her surprise, Qiu Li didn't hesitate, "Okay."
Then Nuonuo saw the servant lay the bedding on the floor. Qiu Li really intended to sleep on the floor.
She knew that this paranoid person couldn't be saved, and she didn't even look at him.
