Chapter 1174: Skatana Flower
Wei Lingnan lowered his head again and kissed her forehead and eyes in spite of her avoidance. The smell of sunlight mixed with the fragrance of the old leaves of the old banyan tree that lingered between the two. Along with the faint shower gel on her body and his temperature, they formed a small world that was isolated from the rest of the world, and ambiguous feelings flowed even more ambiguously. She was quiet, and couldn’t avoid it anyway, so she bit her lip and didn’t speak.
He kissed her again and said lowly, “Ah Luo, you are always so proud and daring, but I like you because of that, so what choice do I have?” The wound in his heart started aching again. He really believed that whether she remembered him or not, she was extremely eager to dismember him into pieces and turn him to bones and dust. Thinking about it was just masochistic, wasn’t it good to fall in love? But he just had to fall in love with her.
Xia Yingluo put a hand on his chest, trying not to let him get too close, and snorted coldly. “Neuropathy.”
He chuckled. “Just think I’m neurotic, you can’t escape anyway.”
His words were like an ominous curse that made her tremble. Xia Yingluo remembered something and looked up at him. “Are you sick? If not, why would my body have a reaction after… you and I did that?”
“What did you do with me, eh?” He chuckled again.
She blushed and said angrily, “You are shameless!”
Wei Lingnan stroked her long hair with a slender hand, and suddenly asked softly, “Are you better?”
After he asked, she then realized that her body was not in pain anymore. If he hadn’t mentioned it, she would have forgotten the discomfort.
She stood up straight a little doubtfully, then pushed him away. This time, he didn’t stop her. After walking a few steps away from the sun, she tried to move her hands and feet. Her limbs were light and soft, just like a dancing fairy.
Wei Lingnan stood under the tree and looked at her, a sort of gentleness hidden in the depths of his eyes.
Xia Yingluo moved around for a long time, before stopping and asking him curiously, “It really doesn’t hurt anymore. What happened?”
He grinned. “As long as you’re kissed by me often, it won’t hurt.”
She didn’t expect it to be this answer and was very angry. “Wei Lingnan, you’re so rich and don’t seem to lack women, so why are you clinging onto me and refusing to let go? Just take it as I was unlucky at the casino yesterday, please stop clinging onto me and get lost!”
He still stood under the old banyan tree without changing his posture. “Don’t say that too soon, do you really think one kiss is enough? The rejection reaction is too serious, and sooner or later you will be in pain and crying for me to kiss you.”
She sneered. “I will never beg you!”
He remained expressionless. “It’s not up to you.”
She was so angry that she was speechless. Since young, she had never met a man like him. He couldn’t be beaten, couldn’t be shaken off, and she couldn’t even argue over him. He was really hateful! “Wei Lingnan!” She almost shouted, “Don’t think that I will believe your stupid words. What rejection, what kissing, they are all nonsense! How can there be such an outrageous thing in this world? Stop lying!”
She turned and wanted to leave.
Wei Lingnan grabbed her hand.
“What are you doing!” She was so angry that she glared at him.
“Here, here you are.” He was calm, and between his clear and slender bony fingers were a flower. It was a white flower blooming with a little dew between the petals, giving off a distinct scent, looking intoxicating.
She looked at the flower and somehow calmed down.
That flower was so beautiful, and there was an inexplicable familiarity that lingered in her heart, like…
Like she had seen it somewhere before.
“What is this?” she asked.
“Skartana flowers,” he said. “Try it.”
“Skartana flowers?” She racked her brain but couldn’t remember what flowers in this world had this name. When she was a child, she had learned to survive in the wild with her father Li Lei. Hence, she recognized many plants, but not this flower.
Wei Lingnan said, “This flower can relieve your pain.”
She looked up at him. “You’re lying to me again. I didn’t see you use it just now.”
He only said, “Try it.”
Xia Yingluo took a suspicious bite of the white flower. The middle of the flower secreted sweet and fragrant honey, which pervaded her lips a little. It was an indescribable taste that made people relax physically and mentally, like walking in the clouds.
“Is it delicious?” He asked her.
She had intended on ignoring him, but the little white flower tasted so beautiful that she nodded despite herself.
He smiled slightly.
Xia Yingluo looked down and said, “I’m leaving, don’t come to me in the future.” Although she was soft-mouthed, she could not compromise her principles. The incident last night was just an accident, and she hoped that their lives would not intertwine ever again.
Wei Lingnan looked at her. “You hate me that much?”
A spark of flame was reignited by him. “You can try liking a rapist?!”
“Really.” He smiled meaningfully. “I don’t think you didn’t enjoy it last night.”
She was annoyed. Last night had been so confusing that she didn’t even remember what she had done, but… enjoy? How was it possible! She glared at him fiercely. “You will pay for your actions.”
She turned back and left without looking back.
Wei Lingnan didn’t stop her, he just stood under the ancient banyan tree, watching her leave. The summer sunshine shrouded his slender figure, looking like a layer of mysterious gold. The breeze blew over the treetops, the leaves fell, and his long shadow seemed a little lonely.
Xia Yingluo walked out of the small garden angrily.
She didn’t know why she had encountered such a perverted monster? From those horrible scars to the weird and fast-healing body, to some kind of rejection reaction… it was all too weird. It was better to stay away from such a person. She had been so happy since she was a child… she had a perfect family background and looks, her father and brother loved her, and her future was bright. She couldn’t entangle herself with such a monster, lest she be involved in danger.
Unlike her father and elder brother, who had big ambitions and wanted to win the world.
She just wanted to live her little life and eat comfortably and wait for death. That was enough for this life.
She made up her mind to forget Wei Lingnan and felt a lot better. When she passed the school hospital, her footsteps stopped slightly. After thinking about it, she went in to ask the school doctor to check her.
The school doctor was a middle-aged woman who looked at her with dislike. “You young girls just don’t know how to treasure your body. How old are you even? To fool around outside! Now you know the pain? It’s going easy on you even if you die in pain! Remember to take the morning-after pill, don’t bet your life on it. It’s a small thing to be kicked out by the Training Camp, but it’s a lifetime thing to abort a baby and hurt your body!”
