Chapter 36: Stay Away From Qin Feng (1)
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Hahaha!" Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Qin Feng laughed and left.
Su Jing leaned on Gu Jue's shoulder and felt his emotions. She explained, "Don't listen to his nonsense. I didn't mean anything by telling him first. I just..."
Gu Jue turned around and pulled her into his arms, interrupting her explanation, and said, "I'm sorry, Jingjing. I'm not strong enough. If I were strong enough, you wouldn't have asked for his help. Give me a little more time, and I'll grow."
Su Jing stopped explaining as Gu Jue spoke. Gu Jue blamed himself for everything, making her feel sorry for him.
The complaints she had about Gu Jue in the morning were all thrown to the back of her mind. She held onto Gu Jue's waist tightly, "Silly boy, the one who helped me, in the end, wasn't Qin Feng. It was you!"
Su Jing could clearly feel Gu Jue's body freeze.
After a while, Gu Jue said, "I should have come here earlier to pick you up so that you wouldn't be hurt."
Su Jing lifted her head and stared at him, "If you had come earlier, I wouldn't have been able to record the evidence. So, everything happened this way for the best. You don't have to blame yourself."
Gu Jue looked at her with heartache. He knew she was trying to comfort him, so he hugged her tightly and said, "I will drive you to and from work every day from now on. I won't let this happen again."
"Okay." Su Jing had no choice but to agree dotingly.
Gu Jue accompanied Su Jing to the police station to submit the evidence and give her statement. After they were done, the two of them returned to the apartment.
Gu Jue carefully cleaned Su Jing's wound. He was afraid of hurting Su Jing, so his movements were gentle and careful.
Su Jing's heart softened when she saw how worried he was. She couldn't help but lift her uninjured hand and caress Gu Jue's head.
Gu Jue looked up at her. There seemed to be starlight in his eyes, "Did I hurt you?"
Su Jing shook her head, "No."
Gu Jue let out a sigh of relief, "That's good."
Su Jing lifted Gu Jue's face and stared at him. She really wanted to ask Gu Jue what exactly their relationship was, but after beating around the bush for a long time, she couldn't find the words to ask.
However, Gu Jue couldn't suppress the throbbing in his heart. He leaned over and kissed Su Jing. Their lips and teeth intertwined, and the temperature around them seemed to have risen as they got closer.
Su Jing gradually immersed herself in Gu Jue's kiss. It wasn't until she felt a slight pain on her lips that she regained consciousness— Gu Jue bit her.
She looked at Gu Jue in confusion. Gu Jue said, "You should stay away from Qin Feng from now on. His feelings for you have changed."
"You mean Qin Feng doesn't hate me anymore? How is that possible? He even embarrassed me in the office today." Su Jing laughed as she asked Gu Jue.
Gu Jue held Su Jing's head in displeasure, "Men understand men the best. Trust me, stay away from him."
Su Jing thought about Gu Jue's nervousness when Qin Feng lifted his chin. She suddenly understood why Gu Jue said that.
Her gaze became mischievous, "Little Jue, are you jealous?"
Gu Jue's eyes moved. He pinched Su Jing's face as if he was punishing her and kissed her again.
After kissing her, he stood up and said, "As long as you don't have him in your heart, I won't be jealous."
Then, Gu Jue walked toward the bathroom. Su Jing watched as he left. Her breathing was still hurried. When did this kid become so domineering?
That night, just as Su Jing was about to fall asleep, she felt someone crawling in her bed behind her. Before she could react, her back fell into a familiar embrace.
"Little Jue?" Su Jing called out Gu Jue's name.
The person behind her wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned his head against her head. In a tired voice, he said, "I won't do anything. I just want to cuddle with you for the night."
Su Jing recognized that it was indeed Gu Jue's voice. She held onto Gu Jue's hand and asked softly, "What's wrong? Did something happen to you?"
Gu Jue moved his head, "No, I just feel like I can't control my emotions. I hate this feeling."
He couldn't help but think about how much Su Jing loved Qin Feng. Qin Feng's words kept stabbing his heart. Only when he hugged Su Jing would the uncomfortable feeling disappear.
"Silly kid, if you can completely control your emotions, then you are no longer a human but a god." Su Jing placed her hands behind her back and patted his head to comfort him.
Gu Jue buried his head even deeper, "Jingjing, promise me that you will never leave me."
"Okay, I will never leave you."
"If you can't do it, then I will die with you."
"..."
Su Jing was silent. She had already died once, and she didn't want to die a second time.
