Long Sijue felt an immense pang in his heart as he looked at her. He dragged her over, sat her down on his lap and wrapped his arms around her. He did not move at all as he held her in his arms.
Su Qianxun slowly closed her eyes. Her eyelashes were trembling, and she felt extremely upset.
Long Sijue carried Su Qianxun back to his apartment. He entered the bathroom and filled the bathtub with warm water. He then turned and was about to take off her clothes.
“I’ll… I’ll do it myself.” Su Qianxun was about to turn and take off her own clothes, but Long Sijue beat her to it. Soon, he managed to take off all her clothing items. He lifted her up and placed her in the water.
Upon sitting in the bathtub, Su Qianxun immediately wrapped her arms around herself. She lowered her head and curled up.
This was when Long Sijue saw what a bad state she was in. Her skin was covered in bruises, and she was really skinny right now. As she curled up in the bathtub, she looked like nothing but a tiny ball. Her collar bones were extremely prominent. His gaze fell upon the butterfly mark on her chest. The color of the butterfly mark had darkened even more.
He knew that she was curled up into a ball to defend herself from him as she was afraid that he would do something to her again. When he was drugged yesterday, he had definitely hurt her.
Long Sijue stayed beside her as she soaked in warm water. After the bath, Su Qianxun finally felt a little better, and the pain in her body had subsided slightly. He helped her wash up before he wrapped her up in a large towel and carried her back to the bedroom.
Su Qianxun said nothing as she laid on the bed. She tightened the towel around herself. Long Sijue grabbed a hairdryer and dried her hair before he tried to remove the towel from her body.
The young woman clutched the towel tightly and refused to let go.
“I won’t do anything to you. I just want to apply some ointment for you… Someone had drugged me yesterday, and I had lost all rationality.”
When Su Qianxun heard what he said, she was a little shocked. She blinked and turned to look at her. Long Sijue felt uncomfortable from her gaze, and he said, “Let me apply some ointment for you first.
This time, Su Qianxun did not resist. She did not expect him to be willing to explain things to her.
Long Sijue grabbed a tube of ointment and meticulously applied it on her body. As he gazed at the bruises on her skinny body, he really wanted to slap himself across the face!
Su Qianxun felt a little uncomfortable. She pulled up the towel and covered part of her body. As Long Sijue applied the ointment on her private part, she felt so bad that she wanted to close her legs. However, Long Sijue held her thighs firmly so that she could not move. He insisted on applying the ointment there, and said that recovery would be slow otherwise.
It took him almost an hour to apply the ointment for her. After he was done, Su Qianxun immediately grabbed a bathrobe and wore it. She laid on the bed in a flustered manner and pretended to pass out.
She could feel that Long Sijue was sitting behind her and fixing his gaze on her without saying a thing. She was so nervous that she could hardly breathe.
After a short while, Su Qianxun sensed that the man behind her had risen and left. Her tensed-up muscles slowly loosened up, and in the end, she became completely relaxed.
She soon fell asleep. It might be because she felt a lot better after the warm bath and the application of the ointment.
By the time Tang Zui and Gu Mian arrived, Long Sijue was standing on the balcony and smoking. Tang Zui asked Gu Mian to check on Su Qianxun while he walked towards Long Sijue.
“Jue, is everything alright?” Tang Zui walked over to Long Sijue and asked.
Long Sijue hummed flatly and continued smoking. Tang Zui noticed that something was not quite right with him and asked, “What happened? Why are you still unhappy after receiving the belt?”
“I… I hurt her again.” Long Sijue felt a lump in his throat. He really did not know what to do in front of anymore as he was always hurting her.
Tang Zui was at a loss for words.
