Chapter 45: Healing – Jiang Qi leaned down and bit Zhi Qis soft lower lip
*If I want to possess you without any reservations, wouldn’t that be a bit despicable?*
Zhi Qi asked this with a smile, but after she finished, the room was filled with silence.
She clearly caught the surprise followed by a daze in Jiang Qi’s eyes, and her smile gradually faded away.
“Jiang Qi?” Seeing him silent, Zhi Qi couldn’t help but shake his hand. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“…Qi Qi.” After a long pause, Jiang Qi finally spoke with difficulty, his light-colored eyes reflecting a hazy confusion. “If I say I don’t want to, that would be a lie.”
Zhi Qi’s eyes lit up, as if the dark sky was suddenly filled with twinkling stars. “So you do want to?”
“I want to, but I’m afraid.” Jiang Qi looked at her, his fingers resting on his knee slightly moving—he suppressed the urge to touch her and spoke frankly, his cool voice steady. “Qi Qi, I have nothing but my illness.”
He was even less than an ordinary person.
He had no education, a questionable background, and now he was unemployed, without money, only scars and an uncontrollable rage that could flare up at any moment.
