Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 159 Stay away from her

When Tang Xu entered the ward, Song Luobai was lying quietly on the hospital bed, his face pale but his brows furrowed as he watched the police leave.

Upon seeing Tang Xu, he looked away from her but did not speak.

Only after the police had completely left did he finally ask Tang Xu, "What happened?"

"The other party stopped pursuing the matter, so the case was dropped."

This answer clearly left Song Luobai somewhat bewildered, and he couldn't come to his senses for a while.

Tang Xu looked at the wound on his forehead, then at the wound on his wrist, paused, and then asked, "What happened to you that caused this sudden loss of control?"

Upon hearing this, Song Luobai paused for a moment before slowly saying, "I was faking it."

Tang Xu was speechless for a moment after hearing this.

Song Luobai then said, "Didn't you say that? Since I've already sacrificed myself, why not take a few more steps?"

Tang Xu feigned surprise, "When did you become so obedient to me?"

Song Luobai's expression suddenly changed. "I did it for myself!"

"Oh," Tang Xu replied, then added, "Then you absolutely mustn't tell anyone that I taught you. I can't teach this kind of thing."

Song Luobai gave her a slight glare, but didn't delve into the matter further. Thinking about the incident, she couldn't help but mutter, "Why did they suddenly drop the case like that?"

Tang Xu sat down next to him, looking down at her phone replying to messages, as if she hadn't heard him.

……

That night, Qin Kang and his wife returned home. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they suddenly saw a group of people standing at their door, which was still open and allowing people to come and go as they pleased.

The two men's expressions immediately changed, and they stepped forward, their anger blazing, demanding, "Who are you? What do you want?"

The leader turned around and gave him a disdainful once-over. "You're Qin Kang?"

"So what?"

"If it is, then it is." The other party's attitude seemed even more arrogant as he turned to look at the people in the room. "Continue to search thoroughly."

"What exactly do you want? Are you trespassing? Are you robbing me?" Qin Kang's wife shouted shrilly. "Call the police! Call the police and arrest these thugs!"

The leader merely scoffed, "Go ahead and report it. If you arrest us, do you think you don't have to pay back the money you owe?"

The moment the words "owe money" were uttered, both Mr. and Mrs. Qin were taken aback.

Seeing their appearance and expressions, the man smiled contemptuously again and said, "You owe money and you're still so arrogant. You've messed with the wrong person, you know that?"

"Who did we offend?" Qin Kang asked, his breathing heavy.

"How am I supposed to know who you've offended? You keep saying you won't let them get away with it, but with your attitude, don't you even consider whether they'll let you off the hook?"

Qin Kang was completely confused, but his wife reacted immediately and pulled him back.

Once the message had been delivered, the leader snapped his fingers to summon the people inside the room. He then said to the two men in front of him, "Life is already miserable enough. If you don't want it to get any worse, behave yourself and don't cause any more trouble. Otherwise, no one will know what will happen next."

After saying that, the man left with his men.

Qin Kang tried his best to stay upright, but after the group of people left completely, he returned to the house feeling weak in the knees.

"It's Tang Xu?" At this moment, he finally realized what was going on.

"Who else could it be but her? I slapped her today, and she immediately sent people to retaliate... She actually managed to provoke someone like that. Is this why your sister left all the money to her? Did she think she could keep it?"

"How would I know if you ask me?" Qin Kang was extremely agitated. "If you hadn't impulsively slapped her, things wouldn't have turned out this way!"

"Is it my fault?" the woman shrieked in protest. "You said you wouldn't let her go, so they came knocking on our door. It was all your bad idea!"

From then on, arguments continued to erupt inside the house.

After the group went downstairs, the leader made a phone call.

“Mr. Duan, we have already warned them, so they shouldn’t dare to do anything.”

Upon receiving the news, Duan Siwei quickly called Yan Shiyu.

However, no one answered the phone, so he called Gao Yan instead.

Gao Yan was somewhat surprised to learn of this matter after receiving the news.

Duan Siwei was equally baffled. "What does he mean by this? Is he trying to make a comeback?"

Gao Yan didn't know the answer, but he vaguely felt that it wasn't what Duan Siwei had said.

If it really does resurface, he should have noticed something.

But he not only failed to notice any changes, he also felt even more uneasy.

At this moment, Yan Shiyu's phone was also unreachable.

Thinking of this, Gao Yan could only say to Duan Siwei, "I'll go see Mr. Yan."

Duan Siwei seemed to be lost in thought as well. He paused for a moment, then simply gave a faint reply and hung up the phone.

Gao Yan headed straight for Qiushui Terrace.

The apartment, which is usually brightly lit, is now dark, with only a few scattered nightlights emitting a faint glow.

Gao Yan didn't see Yan Shiyu in the living room, so he quickly walked towards the bedroom.

The room was also dark, but the moment the door opened, Gao Yan saw Yan Shiyu sitting on the stool at the foot of the bed by the faint light coming from afar.

He was shirtless, his hands braced against his sides with all his might, his muscles bulging with blood.
If someone else saw him, they would probably think he had just finished working out.

However, Gao Yan did not think so.

His slightly bowed head and heavy breathing already said something. Gao Yan was actually familiar with this state.

He had no doubt that if he turned on the lights in the room at this moment, he would see his bloodshot eyes and pale lips.

Gao Yan had been familiar with Yan Shiyu's state for many years.

electric shock.

Initially, after each such experience, he would convulse, vomit, and have seizures, often remaining bedridden for several days.

Later, as he grew older and stronger, he gradually became accustomed to such things.

His body no longer reacted to the stress, but with each increase in the electric current, the effects on his nerves were still unavoidable.

Aside from his consistent, brief actions, he suppressed all other reactions.

There was one exception.

That was during my last trip to Helsinki.

His planned two-week trip was compressed into a week, meaning he had to endure double the suffering during that week. He thought he would feel better after a couple of days of rest back home, but then problems arose between him and Tang Xu—

In fact, it only took him one more day to recover and return to normal.

But Gao Yan felt that he had not had an easy time.

He's never been well since then.

And at this moment, is the state he is in now... a case of his illness getting worse?

Gao Yan was filled with fear and hesitation. After a long while, he finally called out in a low voice, "Mr. Yan?"

Yan Shiyu did not move.

It was as if he had sensed his presence from the very beginning.

Or perhaps, whether he appears or not is irrelevant to him.

Much later, Gao Yan finally heard his voice—

"Stay away from her."

It seemed to be an instruction.

But it sounded more like a murmur.

And who should stay away from whom, and who should stay away from whom...?

Gao Yan didn't ask a single question, but he already knew the answer in his heart.

……

Song Luobai stayed in the hospital for two days, and on the third day, she returned to Yujing Bay with Tang Xu.

After the case was dropped, the school also made a statement, that is, both parties involved in the incident will each receive a demerit as punishment.

The school's handling of the situation was still unexpected.

Given the school's attitude, even if the Yan family didn't pursue the matter further, the school should have only given Song Luobai a demerit. Unexpectedly, Ji Shiqing was also given a demerit.

Although this is only a relatively fair outcome, it is actually quite unbelievable.

Tang Xu still called the teacher to express her gratitude, and at the same time explained Song Luobai's injuries, saying that he could return to school once he recovered.

That evening, Tang Xu returned to Yujing Bay after get off work. Just as she was about to turn into the parking lot, a figure suddenly jumped out in front of her and blocked her car.

Tang Xu slammed on the brakes, and when he saw the person in front of him clearly, he was both surprised and shocked.

A few minutes later, Tang Xu opened the door to her home.

Song Luobai was sitting on the sofa, frowning as she scrolled through her phone, seemingly worrying about what to have for dinner. She only glanced up when she heard the door open.

Unexpectedly, he froze on the spot at that glance, and then his entire posture became defensive.

Ji Shiqing peeked out from behind Tang Xu and tried to greet him: "Hi."

Song Luobai immediately looked at Tang Xu, "Why is he here?"

Tang Xu changed his shoes without paying attention and said, "He said he heard you were injured and wanted to come and visit you."

"So you just brought him up like this?"

Tang Xu had already changed his shoes and was heading towards his bedroom when he said, "You're classmates, and you're all boys. Solve your own problems. If you can't solve them, you can always have another fight."

After saying this, Tang Xu returned to her room and slammed the door shut.

Ji Shiqing slowly withdrew her gaze from the closed door and looked at Song Luobai, "Sister is really a straightforward and efficient person."

Song Luobai simply stared at him coldly.

Ji Shiqing met his gaze, paused for a moment, and shrugged. "Okay, I know my arrival was abrupt and you're probably not happy. But I have to admit that what happened before was my fault, so I'm here to apologize to you."

Song Luobai's expression changed repeatedly, completely unsure of how to react.

Tang Xu stayed in her room for a long time.

She only realized Ji Shiqing had left when she heard the door close in Song Luobai's room.

After sitting for a while, Tang Xu got up and left the room.

Turning around, I saw that Song Luobai's door was tightly closed, and I had no idea what the two children had talked about or how their conversation had turned out.

Tang Xu didn't want to ask any more questions and was about to go into the bathroom when Ji Shiqing's voice suddenly came from behind her—

"Sister, can I stay here for dinner?"
