Take her as my wife

Jiang Ni called Liu Jiaren at noon, but before she could even get down to business, Liu Jiaren dropped a bombshell.

"I want to break up with Jiang Fengyu."

Jiang Ni: "?"

If I remember correctly, they were kissing passionately in front of her at the bar last night.

Jiang Ni asked, "What's wrong? What did he do to upset you?"

Liu Jiaren had just returned to her own house. She lay on her princess bed, looking haggard from excessive indulgence. There wasn't a single patch of good skin under her nightgown—you bastard!

She complained listlessly, "He's either mentally ill, or he's just a good faker and is actually a pervert at heart."

Jiang Ni couldn't understand what she was saying at all.

Liu Jiaren hadn't slept all night. At noon, she lied to Jiang Fengyu that she was hungry. Taking advantage of Jiang Fengyu going to cook for her, she climbed over the wall from the first-floor garden and ran back. She was so exhausted that her voice was almost slurred: "I'll tell you slowly after I wake up..."

Jiang Ni was quite worried by her weak voice: "Okay, you go to sleep first."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ni drove directly to Liu Jiaren's house.

Jiang Ni had her family's fingerprint password, so she opened the door and went in directly. Liu Jiaren was fast asleep, her arm outside the blanket was covered with dark red and light red marks.

Jiang Ni frowned as she watched.

She didn't see it as a romantic gesture; she just felt that this way of having sex was disrespectful to her partner.

No wonder Liu Jiaren used the word "pervert" to curse Jiang Fengyu.

She covered Liu Jiaren with the blanket, went to the living room to make a phone call, contacted a restaurant they often ate at, and made a reservation for dinner around 5 pm, asking them to pack it up and deliver it directly to her. Then she went to find the first-aid kit, found a thermometer, and went back to the bedroom to take Liu Jiaren's temperature.

Liu Jiaren's face was unusually red.

After waiting a while, Jiang Ni took off the thermometer and looked at it—38.9℃, she definitely had a fever.

"Jiajia, get up, drink some fever-reducing medicine, and then go back to sleep."

Liu Jiaren, still feverish and somewhat delirious, leaned against Jiang Ni with her eyes half-closed: "Nini... what are you doing here..."

Jiang Ni said, "I was worried about you, so I came to check on you."

After taking the fever reducer, and knowing that Jiang Ni was right beside her, Liu Jiaren felt even sleepier and snuggled into the blanket, falling asleep instantly.

Jiang Ni simply took leave and stayed here to take care of her.

Liu Jiaren's phone kept ringing, all from unknown numbers. Jiang Ni guessed who was calling, and after thinking for a moment, she picked up the phone and went to the living room to answer it.

"Jiajia, I was wrong, I don't want to break up, please let me explain..."

Jiang Ni interrupted him: "I am Jiang Ni."

Jiang Fengyu paused for a moment, then asked, "Miss Jiang, where is Jiajia...?"

Jiang Ni's voice was slightly cold: "She has a fever, just took her medicine and is sleeping."

"I don't know what happened between you two, but since she said she wanted to break up, and Mr. Jiang is a decent person, let's part amicably."

She hung up the phone and put it on silent mode in preparation for his barrage of calls, but Jiang Fengyu didn't call back.

Just as it was five o'clock, the dinner Jiang Ni ordered arrived on time. She woke Liu Jiaren up, patiently sat by the bed and fed her a bowl of porridge, and even changed her into a dry set of pajamas—she had sweated so much that her nightgown was soaked.

When Jiang Ni saw the mottled marks while changing clothes, her impression of Jiang Fengyu worsened.

When Liu Jiaren woke up, it was already 10:30 p.m. Just then, Tan Wen called to say that he would arrive at the station in about half an hour.

Jiang Ni touched Liu Jiaren's forehead to confirm that her fever had subsided, which relieved her a lot, but she still said to her, "I'll go pick him up, and then I'll have him bring me here. I'll sleep with you tonight."

Liu Jiaren leaned against the headboard, her feverish head finally clearing up a bit. It was the first time she had ever gotten a fever from having sex with a man. She thought such a scene only existed in novels—especially BL novels.

She yawned, regaining some energy: "Go ahead, go ahead, it's hard to get a taxi at that old station late at night, drive carefully."

Jiang Ni said "okay," placed her fully charged phone and tablet by the bedside, poured her a glass of honey water, and then left.

Liu Jiaren sighed, "I wonder which sleazy man will end up with such a thoughtful and beautiful older sister like Nini..."

As she said this, Tan Wen's handsome face appeared in her mind.

She immediately tapped her head and muttered, "Damn it, I'm delirious from the fever... I can't let that Tan guy get away with this..."

After worrying about others, she began to think about her own relationship with Jiang Fengyu.

Although she blocked Jiang Fengyu's phone number, their private messaging system was linked to their couple's number, as well as their electronic pet "Huohuo". If she blocked the private messaging system, all of these things would be gone.

Liu Jiaren knew she couldn't bear to part with it, so she neither deleted nor blocked Jiang Fengyu's private messages.

This was the first time she had ever broken up with a man in such a messy way, because she knew her own feelings perfectly well. She just wanted to mess with Jiang Fengyu, scare him, and then wait for him to coax her.

Jiang Fengyu sent her 99+ messages in a private message. She read them one by one with great interest and even took screenshots to preserve them as Jiang Fengyu's embarrassing history.

After a series of apologies and expressions of regret, Jiang Fengyu began to confess the "truth" to her.

[Huohuo's Dad]: I was kidnapped when I was in junior high school.

Upon seeing this sentence, Liu Jiaren sat up straight with a start, her eyes filled with shock and nervousness she herself could not have imagined.

[Huohuo's Dad]: Seven days. It had been a full seven days by the time my dad found me. I don't remember exactly how I got through those seven days. I only know that they got the money and wanted to kill me, but I killed the man instead.

[Huohuo's Dad]: The doctor said that this is a self-protective personality that developed after I encountered danger... If I get too emotional or are greatly stimulated, "he" will come out.

[Huo Huo's Dad]: Please don't abandon me. I'm receiving treatment, and I'll get better.

Liu Jiaren knew that this kind of mental illness was not easy to cure. Take Jiang Ni's so-called "emotional deficiency syndrome" for example. She had been taking medication for many years and had seen many psychologists, but she was not necessarily cured.

Although Liu Jiaren once thought that Jiang Ni did not have that strange illness, because she knew that Jiang Ni's real problem was her mother.

After reading all the messages Jiang Fengyu sent, Liu Jiaren was in a daze when another message appeared on the chat page.

[Huohuo's Dad]: Jiajia, you're awake? Are you feeling better? Shall I come pick you up to go to the hospital?

The fact that the message had been read indicated that Jiang Fengyu had been watching his phone, waiting for her reply.

As Liu Jiaren typed away, Jiang Fengyu, on the other end of the phone, saw her typing and his bloodshot eyes lit up.

[Jiajia]: I want to eat strawberry cake.
