"Mingxi, I love you, will you be with me and let me take care of you for a lifetime?"
Xiao Lang took her hand and kissed it reverently.
Li Mingxi closed her eyes, hiding the pain within them.
"Why can’t you just give up?" she asked sadly.
Xiao Lang held her tightly, his intense body heat continuously transferring to hers.
"Why should I give up? I won’t give up. I want you to completely belong to me, and then I’ll never let go."
Li Mingxi opened her eyes, a flash of determination in them.
She raised her hand to embrace his neck, wrapping her legs around his waist.
This gesture made Xiao Lang ecstatic.
But the words she spoke next plunged him into Hell.
"If getting my body will make you less obsessed, then take it. Xiao Lang, all I can give you is this body..."
One moment, it was a beautiful Heaven.
The next, it was a cold Hell.
All of Xiao Lang’s passion, all his desires, retreated cleanly.
"What did you say?" he asked hoarsely.
Li Mingxi looked out the window, speaking emptily, "I said, all I can give you is this body. Take it, and... don’t look for me again..."
Xiao Lang was momentarily lost.
Then he let out a cold laugh, "Fine, I’ll get your body first then!"
He pushed her away, then rudely kissed her neck.
His hands carelessly kneading her skin.
Xiao Lang was like a beast venting, harming her body.
Li Mingxi gripped the bedsheets, her body aching.
But her heart hurt more.
Her heart, she could not give to him.
Her body, actually not deserving of him either.
But besides giving him this broken body, what else could she offer?
Li Mingxi painfully closed her eyes, shutting out sound and sight, thoroughly numbing herself.
Xiao Lang forcefully kneaded her softness, but Li Mingxi felt nothing.
Xiao Lang kissed her all over, leaving countless marks on her, yet she reacted not.
She was like a puppet, however he treated her, she remained unchanged.
Xiao Lang tormented her intensely, yet never took the final step.
Then, he held her tight, his head deeply buried in her shoulder.
Li Mingxi opened her eyes, somewhat puzzled.
"Without your heart, why would I want your body?" Xiao Lang spoke sullenly.
His voice was so light, Li Mingxi almost thought she was hallucinating.
Afterwards, neither of them spoke again.
Xiao Lang just held her, motionless. Li Mingxi did not move either, soon her arms numbed, her body too.
Uncomfortably, she shifted her arms, and Xiao Lang immediately turned over, letting her lie atop him.
He pulled the blanket, wrapping them both, his hand gently caressing her smooth back.
Just as Li Mingxi thought he wouldn’t speak,
he whispered, "I’m sorry..."
"..."
"I don’t want to hurt you."
Li Mingxi pressed her lips, struggling to speak, "It’s fine, I was willing."
Xiao Lang held her tight, silent again.
Li Mingxi felt the atmosphere ease slightly, she asked him, "If I don’t come, what would you do?"
"Do you really want to know?"
"Mm."
"You won’t want to know." Xiao Lang didn’t want to say.
But Li Mingxi really wanted to know, "Tell me, what exactly would you do?"
