The unattainable beauty was driven to depravity and madness by a wicked seed.

Shen Qinghuai somehow managed to get a wheelchair, and Chen Jingmo sat in it as he was pushed back to the boys' dormitory. There were Shen Qinghuai's spare clothes there, and since they were both sweating, they needed to take a shower first.

Jiang Xiu went to the infirmary to get disposable ice gloves for Chen Jingmo. When he returned, Shen Qinghuai had already taken a quick shower and was wrapping Chen Jingmo's ankle with plastic wrap to prevent the swollen area from getting wet. Lu Sui, standing next to him, pinched his nose and said Chen Jingmo's feet smelled. Chen Jingmo blushed with embarrassment, "I've been running for an hour!"

Jiang Xiu handed the things to Chen Jingmo and went to the closet to rummage through his own clothes. "Brother Chen, I have a set of brand-new clothes that I just washed and haven't worn yet, but I don't have any new underwear. How about you go shirtless?"

After Jiang Xiu finished speaking, Chen Jingmo was stared at by the three of them and was quite speechless. "...Is there any other way? Um, I don't feel safe."

"..."

"..."

"What does it mean to put it in neutral?" Lu Sui asked Shen Qinghuai.

"Not wearing pants."

"oh."

Chen Jingmo limped off to take a shower, not turning the temperature too high. After showering, he changed his clothes and put on the jacket Jiang Xiu had lent him last time, as he couldn't be exposed to drafts right after showering.

Shen Qinghuai packed up the clothes the two had changed out of. Chen Jingmo said he would wash his own clothes, and Lu Sui offered to drive him home, but he refused, saying, "I'll go to the door and call a Didi."

Jiang Xiu: "Then I'll push you over there."

The four of them walked out. Shen Qinghuai and Lu Sui went to get the car. Chen Jingmo, terrified by Jiang Xiu's shove, gritted his teeth as he ran over a stone and was jolted up again, "...Jiang Xiu, I curse your ancestors for eight generations!"

The dirty clothes rolled to the ground with a thud. Jiang Xiu picked them up, patted them, and hung them on the handle. Seeing that Chen Jingmo's hair was still dripping wet, he pulled a few tissues from his pocket to wipe it for him, and then put the hat on him. "Brother Chen, I didn't mean to, it's just that the wheelchair is hard to push—"

"I'll do it."

Jiang Xiu looked up, "Huh?"

I said I'd push it.

Jiang Xiu looked down again and saw Chen Jingmo staring blankly, so he stepped aside.

"Why are you here?"

Shi Qianqiu's eyes, hidden behind his glasses, were cold as he pushed Chen Jingmo toward the car. "I'm not in a hurry."

Chen Jingmo turned to look at Jiang Xiu, "You don't need to worry about me, go home quickly, I'll wash your clothes and bring them to you tomorrow."

"Okay, but just give me back my coat. The outfit underneath was already too big."

"Then I'll transfer the money to you."

"No! No need! Brother Chen, don't be so formal with me, it's just a set of clothes."

"That won't do—ah!"

Before Chen Jingmo could finish speaking, Shi Qianqiu picked him up from the wheelchair and put him back in the passenger seat. She put the clothes she was holding into the trunk. Seeing that Jiang Xiu hadn't left yet, she pointed to the wheelchair and looked at him. He ran over and pushed the wheelchair away. "You guys go. I'll return the wheelchair."

"Wait a minute." Shi Qianqiu took out her phone. "How much did his clothes cost?"

Jiang Xiu always felt like he was facing a teacher when he was around serious older people, and his social anxiety suddenly came out. He started to stutter, "Three, three thousand five."

"Okay, don't be nervous. Take out your phone, I'll scan it for you."

Jiang Xiu's mind was trying to get him to say no, but his hands had already obeyed and taken out the phone.

After paying the money, Shi Qianqiu thanked him and told him to be careful on his way home. Jiang Xiu then pushed his wheelchair away in a daze.

Just as Shi Qianqiu was about to open the back door of the car, his phone rang – 3500 yuan had been deposited into his Alipay account.

He paused, closed the car door, and leaned against the window on Chen Jingmo's side, saying, "Giving him the money is one thing, giving me the money is another. Chen Jingmo, you don't want to spend a single penny of my money?"

Chen Jingmo looked bewildered. "Why should I spend your money?"

...He forced Shi Qianqiu to date him, and in return, he had to give Shi Qianqiu money.

After hesitating, he sent another 100,000.

— 10 yuan received via Alipay.

"I don't have much money. I paid you last night. I'll give you more when I have more money." All the money that was transferred from my card to Lu Sui was deposited into one card. I only spent some of it in those few days. Now I'm spending all the money I earned myself.

Chen Jingmo felt a pang of sadness, her eyes filled with helplessness. She turned off her phone and looked out the car window.

Isn't this supposed to be a romantic relationship? It feels more like a business transaction.

"Could you please take me to the platform? I'll take the bus home, rest for two days, and then do it again the night after tomorrow."

Shi Qianqiu frowned. "What do you mean? Was that person your ex-boyfriend? You said you broke up and could still be friends, but you're still wearing his clothes—"

"What do you mean? You brought up money, isn't that what you meant? Besides, I was sweating from playing basketball, I needed to wash myself off quickly. He's never worn this outfit underneath, it's brand new, and he's only worn the jacket once or twice. I said I'm breaking up with him, and I mean it. I won't rekindle our old flame, and I won't mess around. Don't worry, I'm not crazy. Damn it! I get angry just talking to you. Take the money or leave it—"

"don't want."

— 10 yuan received via Alipay.

"...Why not take it if it's free? I won't give it to you next time either." Anyway, I don't have any money.

"What do you mean by getting angry when you talk to me?"

"Literal meaning! It just means I'm angry!"

It was clearly Chen Jingmo glaring at Shi Qianqiu, but as he glared, his own eyes turned red. Shi Qianqiu sighed, opened the car door again, and opened the bag in the back seat. Inside were the clothes Chen Jingmo had taken off last night. He took a towel, took off Chen Jingmo's hat, and dried his hair.

"Why are you crying? I didn't yell at you."

"You're the one who's crying, you fucking idiot."

"..." Shi Qianqiu casually dried his hair and took him to the hospital. At the hospital entrance, he put a mask on Chen Jingmo, carried Chen Jingmo downstairs, and Chen Jingmo quietly leaned on his shoulder. He wasn't wearing shoes, just the unwashed socks that Jiang Xiuxin had bought. Shi Qianqiu wrapped him in his coat and took him inside to have an X-ray. After the X-ray, they went to the orthopedics department to wait for the results.

Chen Jingmo sat on Shi Qianqiu's lap, his feet covered by Shi Qianqiu's coat. He stared at Shi Qianqiu's hands, thinking to himself that the threat of the video was still effective.

The doctor returned shortly after, carrying a bandage to wrap around Chen Jingmo's ankle. He told her to apply an ice pack when she got home, preferably by raising her leg to help the blood flow back to the heart. After 48 hours, she should alternate between ice and hot compresses. When taking a shower, she should not turn the temperature too high; just keep it close to her body temperature and try to finish showering within ten minutes.

Chen Jingmo only caught bits and pieces of information. Shi Qianqiu asked if laser treatment was possible, and the doctor said yes, explaining that during the acute phase, weak laser treatment could be administered two to three times a day. Shi Qianqiu then carried him to the laser treatment location, and they returned to the car 15 minutes later.

When they got to the garage downstairs, Shi Qianqiu carried him down to take the elevator. She carried him for a long time, and Chen Jingmo felt embarrassed. As soon as his bottom touched the sofa, he used his hands to support himself and moved backward. "Ahem, thank you for today. I'll buy a cane later. You go do your own thing."

He didn't finish his sentence because Shi Qianqiu asked him, "How are you going to thank me?"
