âI want to call you brotherâcan I call you brother?â Like a starving person staring at a piece of mouthwatering bread, the little girl eagerly awaited.
But in the end, he broke his own promise.
He abandoned his patient and gave her to another person.
âNo wonder she wanted to kill you.â Liu Lin suddenly felt a little sorry for the girl, but he would never blame Yao Qi for her sake.
He was justâa little scared.
He licked his lips and sternly said, âShe regarded you as her last hope, and you gave her your promise, but in the end, you abandoned her.â
After falling into a moment of silence, Liu Lin suddenly spoke again, âXiao Qi, Iâm very strong.â
He solemnly looked at Yao Qi.
So solemn that he gave off a trace of hostility.
âIâm strong,â he said.
âSo if you dare leave me one day, Iâll kill you.â
âNo one will be able to save you.â
âNo matter the price you pay, no matter where you escape to, no matter if the people around you are much stronger than me, Iâll keep plaguing you until I can kill you.â
âEven if I die, Iâll become a ghost and keep on haunting you.â
He spoke with such viciousness that it seemed as though he had already turned into a vengeful ghost who came for Yao Qiâs life.
But the man wasnât the slightest bit afraid.
Taking Liu Lin into his arms, Yao Qi tilted his head to kiss his face and earlobe, gently consoling the beast who had protracted its claws.
âAlright,â Yao Qi told him.
At this moment, Liu Lin suddenly felt that he wasnât strong at all.
He was able to walk freely under a rainstorm of attacks, he was able to laugh during any kind of dangerous affair, and he was able to make anyone who knew of him fear his wrath.
Killing Yao Qi should have been something he could accomplish with a snap of his fingers.
In front of Yao Qi, he could only become a weakling.
A single smile from Yao Qi was all it took to make his heart go soft.
As long as Yao Qi didnât betray him.
He could do anything for Yao Qi.
With a leash around its neck, the beast was nothing more than a dog.
But even if Liu Lin had become a dog, he was still a mad dog.
If Yao Qi didnât want him to go crazy, he could only hold him, and continue to guide him.
âDonât be afraid,â Yao Qi caressed his trembling body.
âIâm very weak, you donât need to be afraid.â
âYou can kill me very easily, thereâs no need to be afraid.â
âIâm not afraid,â Liu Lin mumbled sullenly.
âOkay,â Yao Qi softly soothed him.
Yao Qi was a big fat liar; the man might look soft and easy to bully, but he was unbelievably rigid.
He was a very capable person possessing both high IQ and high EQ, skillful in handling all kinds of situations and able to easily win people over. If he had been physically stronger, Liu Lin wouldnât even be considered a threat to him.
Fortunately, Yao Qi couldnât fight at all.
But even if that was the case, he could still suppress Liu Lin with ease.
Sulking as he thought so, Liu Lin impulsively held Yao Qiâs face and gave his cheek a bite.
Only after sorting out their emotions did the two of them realise that they were still in the middle of the road. Due to their public display of affection, a lot of people were currently staring at them.
Even though Yao Qi never cared much about other peopleâs gazes, he still couldnât help but blush this time, lowering his head.
Liu Lin chuckled at him, feeling like he had successfully turned the table for once.
After shooting him with a non-threatening glare, Yao Qi took his hand and promptly fled the scene.
âWill you continue to counsel her now?â
After all, Yao Qiâs abandonment was a huge part of the reason why the little girl turned out this way.
If he had persisted on treating the girl until her mental health recovered, or if he had made sure that the psychologist who took over could truly treat her, she wouldnât have spiralled down to this point.
Liu Lin wasnât sure if Yao Qi would pick up the mantle because he felt like he âowedâ the girl.
âNo.â Yao Qi shook his head, âSince Iâve already chosen to give up on being a psychologist, Iâll never take another patient.â
Moreover, she had also hurt Ah-Lin.
But even if he hadnât met Liu Lin, he still wouldnât treat the girl as his patient anymore. Part of the reason was because he had given up on this occupation, but an even bigger reason was that he didnât want to have a knife constantly hanging over his neck. Without Liu Lin by his side, he had no ability to protect himself from the girl, so the correct option was to stay as far away from her as he could.
Unless the girl did what Liu Lin did back then.
At that time, only death awaited if he refused to cooperate, so Yao Qi had no other choice but to accept it.
But with Liu Linâs presence, ironically, such a thing would never happen again.
Right now, Liu Linâs jealousy towards that girlâYao Yueâhad completely vanished.
Thinking about how he got jealous because Yao Qi gave him the cold treatment after fighting her (for neglecting his injuries), because Yao Qi sent her to the hospital (so as to not implicate him), and because Yao Qi kept looking at her (trying to recall who Yao Yue was), he was baffled by his own stupidity.
âIâve answered all of your questions, so shouldnât it be your turn to answer my question now?â
With a soft thump, the door closed behind them, breaking his reverie. Before he knew it, they had already returned home.
But the way those words were followed by the sound of shutting door brought about a sudden strange mood, making Liu Lin feel a little timid.
There was no apparent reason, but just by looking at Yao Qiâs face, he began to feel nervous.
âWhat is it?â He reflexively swallowed.
Putting a pretence of nonchalance, he changed his shoes for the indoor slippers and then went to obediently sit on the sofa, his back ramrod straight.
He didnât know just how deceitful he looked while doing all this.
Amused by his behaviour, Yao Qi chuckled out loud, the sound of his laughter instantly diffusing the serious atmosphere.
âThat matter you talked about in the hospital.â
The man walked over and put his hands on top of Liu Linâs shoulders, bowing to kiss him on the forehead.
âOh, that thingâIâll tell you if you feed me.â Enticed by the kiss, all the nervousness in Liu Linâs heart was gone. He wanted to hug Yao Qi and kiss him back with tenfold the intensity, but the hands on his shoulders firmly pressed him down onto the sofa.
So he could only raise his face and gaze at Yao Qi with half-lidded eyes, deliberately putting on a lazy smile as he slowly dragged the tip of his tongue across his lips, looking irresistibly sultry and bewitching.
How incredibly lewd, thought Yao Qi, eyes burning with lust.
âIâll certainly feed you, alright. Even when youâre filled to the brim, you still have to swallow it all up for me.â He smiled and relaxed his hands in favour of curling them around Liu Linâs neck, nimbly spreading the manâs slightly parted legs with his knees. âGood boy, help me unfasten my pantsâŚâ
With a languid whisper, he heavily breathed into Liu Linâs ear, reciprocating his seduction and making the man see red.
As nature took its course, the two of them plunged into a blissful spring night.
Ah-Lin: *opens his mouth to bare his sharp fangs* Xiao Qi, if you dare to leave me one day, Iâm going to bite you.
Xiao Qi: *reaches out his hand to touch Liu Linâs fangs*
Ah-Lin: *jumps away in fright* Silly Xiao Qi, what if it accidentally hurts you ÎŁ(㣠°Р°;)ăŁ
Xiao Qi: *hugs him with a beaming smile* Donât be afraid, muach
Ah-Lin: ⌠*tail wagging out of sheer happiness*
Xiao Qi: Good boy~âĽď¸ *strokes his head*
Shao Qing: Why do you still keep this mad dog, what if it bites you? *raises his eyebrows* You better throw it away soon.
Ah-Lin: *fangs gnashing, hackles rising, getting into an aggressive stance*
Xiao Qi: *hugs and rubs Ah-Lin to soothe him down* I wonât do that, Ah Lin is such a good boy.
Ah-Lin: *wags his tail and licks Xiao Qi*
Shao Qing: *takes a step closer*
Ah-Lin: *bares his fangs*
Shao Qing: *takes a step back*
Ah-Lin: *wags his tail and pounces on Xiao Qi*
Shao Qing: It really is good to you. Itâs fine if you want to keep it, then *takes another step closer towards Liu Lin after giving him a praise*
Ah-Lin: *glances at Shao Qing, then ignores him*
Shao Qing: âŚfuck, why is this dog as sensitive as a human, tch.
