As he held her, he realized even more how shockingly thin she had become. It had only been a few months, and she was even slimmer than she was at the base. How could she be so thin, without a bit of flesh on her? Was Sheng Sheng not even feeding her?
He hugged her tightly in the car, taking off his coat to hold her. Qingqing really disliked being held by Sheng Sheng like this; it was super awkward, "Let go of me, I want to go read. I won’t be driven away by you!"
Zun Zun squeezed her chin hard, "Look more carefully, if you mistook me for someone, don’t think about asking me anything."
Qingqing was dazed with fever, her brow furrowed, her body tense as she confronted Zun Zun.
After a while, her nose tingled with sadness: "Are you... Brother Zun?"
Tears rolled down her cheeks as she spoke.
"Good, you didn’t get it wrong." Zun Zun slammed the car door shut and instructed the driver in front, "Drive."
Qingqing looked at him, "Where are you taking me? I still want to read!"
"If you keep reading, your brain will burn to mush," Zun Zun’s expression softened as he held her thin wrist, which was shockingly frail. Zun Zun felt conflicted inside, wishing he could throw a punch at Sheng Sheng. Why was it that except for Maimai, all the other women weren’t treated like women? Weren’t they even fed properly? "Aren’t you the one who called me to take you away?"
Qingqing bit her lip and struggled out of his embrace, sitting beside him, wrapped tightly in his coat, which still retained his warmth.
She turned her head to look out the car window, remaining silent.
Zun Zun turned her head back towards him, "Tell me, do you want to come with me, yes or no?"
"I want to go back to Dark K." Qingqing bit her lip, suppressing her strong emotions, a stubborn look of deep grievance in her eyes, "Is it possible, Brother Zun?"
"Do you absolutely have to go? That place isn’t suitable for women, the suffering there is far beyond just childhood illnesses like fever." Zun Zun really wished he could pry open her mind to see what she was thinking inside. Others only resorted to Dark K when they had nowhere else to go and it provided a different path for survival. But she, on the other hand, wouldn’t be just a young lady with comforts; she insisted on throwing herself into this place that devours people.
To be honest, he wasn’t as ruthless as Sheng Sheng, but he understood that Sheng Sheng’s decisiveness was truly for Qingqing’s good. Whereas his own indecision and constant compromise were actually what harmed her.
Regardless of whether Dark K suited her, he didn’t want her to live a life under constant threat.
Dark K was a sharp sword cultivated by him and his two brothers. What was the purpose of the sword?
Even without saying, everyone understood!
Despite her high fever, Qingqing stared at Zun Zun with unwavering determination, an earnest expression with a slight silliness, unblinkingly nodding her head, "I absolutely have to go!"
Zun Zun raised his hand, Qingqing wasn’t sure if he was going to slap her. His hand fell softly on her face, without any force, just lightly patting her cheek, "Fine, I promise you, whether you live or die in the future, if you want to sign a life and death contract with me, living alone forever is the path you choose. Previously when you came to Dark K, I opened many back doors for you, didn’t clarify the situation."
"Once inside Dark K, future marriages cannot threaten Dark K in any way. When we arrive, you’ll be shown the detailed contract, you’d best read it multiple times, think it over before signing. You’re feverish and confused now; I won’t discuss it any further with you." Zun Zun was annoyed with her obstinacy, unwilling to look at her face anymore, turning his head to gaze out the window. Not a single word was spoken to her until the car reached the airport.
