Chapter 12

"I just want to tell you clearly that I have no feelings for Qi Chengji, nor have I thought about marrying him. I don't care whoever he likes, so I won't hurt Wei Ran in this way."

"Oh?" Wei Ziqi raised his eyebrows, "I thought the marriage between your two families was settled since childhood and could not be changed."

"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?" Song Yu smiled, "We are still young, and the road is long and unpredictable. Maybe we will suddenly find that we like each other and get married, but this is also a matter of the future. Now we are indifferent to each other. If you like it, there is no need to do things that harm others and benefit yourself.”

"I understand." Wei Ziqi said lightly.

Song Yu nodded and left the office.

Wei Ran went to the infirmary to get the medicine, and the back of his head was knocked out, but luckily it didn't break.

Most of the injuries were concentrated on the face, which was actually not as serious as it looked, but the face was swollen and scary.

It would take some time for the ointment to reduce the swelling. When school was over, she let her hair down to cover the wound on her face, and kept her head down to avoid the driver's sight.

It's just that when she entered the door, Xiao Lian still noticed something was wrong.

After all, women's minds are much more delicate than men's.

Wei Ran was walking in with her head down, Xiao Lian stopped her: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Wei Ran lowered his head and shook his head: "It's okay, it's just that I'm a little tired after a day's class."

"No! Your face doesn't look right, why is it so red?" Xiao Lian wrinkled her nose and sniffed, "It still smells like ointment!"

Xiao Lian ran to Wei Ran: "Miss, look up for me?"

Wei Ran wanted to hide, but Xiao Lian had already lifted the long hair covering her cheeks first.

"Oh!" Xiao Lian was startled by her face, "Miss, what's going on! Have you been bullied at school?"

Wei Ran frowned slightly, feeling a little distressed: "Don't tell your family, I'll stay in my room, and dinner will be delivered to my room too! If you ask..."

Wei Ran thought for a while: "Let's say it's menstruation."

She always suffers from severe pain during menstruation, Wei Ziqi and Wei Ming don't necessarily know this, but Lin Qiuye does.

"Okay!" Xiaolian nodded, "There are ice cubes in the refrigerator, I'll get you some, and you apply it on your injured face, and then I'll boil an egg for you, and you roll the egg on your face. Although it's an earthen recipe , but very useful!"

"Okay!" Wei Ran smiled, but she raised her red and swollen cheeks, causing her to frown in pain.

Wei Ran faced the mirror, pressing the peeled boiled egg with her palm and rolling it on her cheeks. I don't know if it was her illusion, but the swelling on her cheeks seemed to have really subsided a little.

The dinner was served by Xiaolian. Xiaolian said that the husband and wife were going to attend an opening reception tonight and would not come back for dinner.

Wei Ziqi came back, but when he asked about Wei Ran and heard that she was in the room, he didn't say anything, and didn't mean to look for her.

Wei Ran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the mobile phone on the table vibrated the table, buzzing.

She picked it up, it was a text message from Qi Chengji.

Before, he didn't have her mobile phone number, because of what happened today, Qi Chengji asked her for her number, and said that he would contact her directly by mobile phone in the future, and would not hand over any notes.

"How's the injury? I was outside your house and brought you ointment. Do you come out and get it, or should I send it in?"

Wei Ran dropped the phone and rushed to the window, opened the window and leaned over to look out.

Although it was night, the street lights were quite bright, so she saw Qi Chengji without any effort.

He stood very conspicuously under the streetlight, staring up at the direction of the second floor, but because he didn't know which room she was in, his eyes went back and forth.

Hearing the sound of the window opening, Qi Chengji's gaze finally settled, and when he saw Wei Ran leaning out of the window, he grinned and waved happily at her.

Wei Ran hurriedly turned around and closed the window, and quickly sent a message: "You wait there, I'll go out right away!"

Holding the mobile phone, she tiptoed to open the door a small part, and poked her head out.

The corridor was very quiet, Wei Ziqi should be in his room at this time.

After making sure that there was no one around, she went downstairs with bare feet. Only Xiao Lian was busy in the living room, while the cook was cleaning up the kitchen. Sure enough, Wei Ziqi was not there.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and when she was walking towards the entrance, she bumped into Xiaolian.

Before Xiaolian could speak, Wei Ran pressed his index finger on his lips: "I'll go out for a while, I'll be right back!"

She opened the door quietly, Qi Chengji saw her and wanted to run to find her, but she stopped her with gestures and ran to Qi Chengji.

"Why did you come here!" Wei Ran asked in surprise.

He smiled lightly, showing his neat teeth, which was very beautiful.

Wei Ran thought, no wonder he is so popular in school.

"I'll bring you medicine!" Qi Chengji handed her a paper bag with a bottle of ointment inside.

"I noticed that when you were applying the medicine in the infirmary, you frowned when you smelled the medicine, so I found this. I heard from the clerk that this medicine is very useful and has no strange smell. You can go to school after applying it. no problem."

Wei Ran took the paper bag, and Qi Chengji lifted it up, and gently touched her cheek with his thumb.

She flinched a little, Qi Chengji immediately became nervous: "Does it still hurt?"

Wei Ran shook his head: "No, only a little pain, much better than in the afternoon."

"I'm sorry, I caused you all the trouble." Qi Chengji apologized.

"I think you are just their cover. The person behind the scenes is trying to deal with me or Song Yu." Wei Ran smiled, "Although I don't know why, but it's not your fault."

Qi Chengji frowned unhappily, he suddenly hugged her and held her tightly in his arms.

Wei Ran was startled, his body froze, and his heartbeat couldn't stop accelerating.

"Anyway, I should protect you." Qi Chengji blamed himself.

He let go of her slightly abruptly, but still held her shoulders with both hands: "I'm sorry, did I scare you?"

Wei Ran chuckled, the "giggle" sounded very sweet, and Qi Chengji's heart melted when he heard it.

"It was a little bit at first," she laughed.

Although her face was still swollen, she still couldn't hide her beautiful smile.

Qi Chengji also laughed, but soon, his face turned serious again.

"Wei Ran, you said that if Song Yu didn't have feelings for me, you would agree to be my girlfriend, right? You also heard today that she also intends to break off the engagement with me." Qi Chengji paused, " So, can you promise to be my girlfriend?"

"Actually, I met you at the rockery today because I asked Song Yu to talk about it." Qi Chengji looked at her nervously.

Wei Ran never thought that someone would be so nervous because of her answer, uneasy, not at all like the confident Qi Chengji in the past.

He was nervous, and the hand holding her shoulder was unconsciously a little tight.

"I want to tell you that I'm serious about you," he said.

Wei Ran couldn't help laughing again, she liked Qi Chengji's stupidity now, when she was with him, she felt very relaxed.

She nodded, her eyes were extraordinarily bright under the light because of joy, Qi Chengji couldn't help lowering his head.

His eyes also brightened with joy.

The two people under the streetlight were looking at each other, but no one noticed that there was a person standing in the dark window upstairs.

Wei Ziqi stood in the dark, holding a glass of tequila in his hand, clasped the glass tightly with his fingers, raised his head and drank the spirits in one gulp.

Qi Chengji looked down and landed on Wei Ran's bare feet.

"Why did you come out with bare feet!" Before, his full attention was on Wei Ran's injured face, so he didn't notice that Wei Ran came out with bare feet.

Wei Ran himself forgot about it, lowered his head in astonishment, curled up his toes, and laughed embarrassedly: "I'm afraid I ran out secretly, afraid that people would hear me. Besides, I'm used to being barefoot at home."

Qi Chengji disagreed: "You, don't you know that it's easy to catch cold with bare feet? Especially girls' homes, they can't bear the cold the most, and it hurts too much!"

Wei Ran was taken aback, and quickly put his feet back: "What are you doing! How dirty!"

"What's dirty?" He raised his head slightly, smiled at her, put down her right foot, but held on to her left foot to keep warm.

After a while, he let go of her and straightened up. Wei Ran's face was already glowing red like a lit cigarette.

With her like this, even if he wanted to stay with her for a while longer, he could only urge: "Go back!"

Wei Ziqi opened the window, and Qi Chengji's actions made his anger rise, and he suddenly threw out the empty wine glass.

Neither Qi Chengji nor Wei Ran knew Wei Ziqi's movements, Qi Chengji only felt that something flew past his cheek, and then he heard the sound of glass shattering from the lamp post behind him.

Shattered glass bounced off the lamp post to the ground and bounced up and around.

Wei Ran jumped back in fright to avoid being hurt by glass shards, and really regretted that he didn't come out with his shoes on.

And Qi Chengji had already raised his head, squinting and looking in the direction of the glass flying over.

It didn't take much effort to see the open windows on the second floor.

And Wei Ziqi didn't mean to avoid it, he stood by the window expressionlessly, staring directly at Qi Chengji.

Qi Chengji knew immediately that this man was hostile to him, and he also instinctively disliked Wei Ziqi.

Obviously, Wei Ziqi smashed this wine glass on purpose, and also deliberately smashed it sideways as a warning. Next time, it will be his head that will be smashed!

Wei Ran followed Qi Chengji's gaze and saw Wei Ziqi by the window.

Standing in the darkness, he looked extraordinarily gloomy, causing her body to freeze as well.

But she didn't hide, and also looked back.

Because of her gaze, Wei Ziqi's gaze fell on Wei Ran, and looked at her across the air.

Wei Ran puffed out his chest rebelliously, raised his chin and moved closer to Qi Chengji.

Watching Wei Ran's movements, Wei Ziqi laughed instead, the corners of his mouth became wider and wider, and he hummed softly, then left the window sill and flashed into the darkness of the room.

The two couldn't see the sinister smile on Wei Ziqi's face in the darkness.

Just the way he stood by the window just now made people palpitate.

"Is it okay for you to go back?" Qi Chengji couldn't help worrying.

Wei Ran smiled: "No problem, he's not a monster, he's not that scary."

Wei Ran comforted him: "I think it may be like a parent's mentality. Seeing my girls outside with boys will definitely be unhappy."

Qi Chengji had reservations about Wei Ran's explanation.

He was still a little worried: "If you have any questions, just call me!"

"Yeah!" Wei Ran nodded with a smile.

"Go back!" Qi Chengji urged with some reluctance.

Wei Ran glanced at him again, then ran back barefoot.

Qi Chengji looked at Wei Ran's light running back in a daze. He was wearing a skirt and barefoot, as light as an elf returning to the forest.

Wei Ran closed it.Stepping on the marble door of the living room, the biting cold spread to the soles of her feet, freezing her bones, and she felt that her feet were really cold now.

She ran upstairs quickly, passed outside Wei Ziqi's room, and found that the door was closed tightly, there was no light from inside, and the light was still turned off.

She quickened her pace, just wanting to quickly escape from Wei Ziqi's place.

It wasn't until she returned to her room that she felt a little relieved.

When she walked to the window, Qi Chengji was still standing under the streetlight, and when he saw her, he waved to her.

Wei Ran grabbed the phone and sent a text message: I'm fine, you should go back quickly!
Seeing Qi Chengji took out his cell phone to read the text message, he looked up and smiled at her, and then waved away.

Before leaving, Qi Chengji couldn't help looking at Wei Ziqi's window again.

Wei Ran closed the window, let out a breath, and moved his feet restlessly on the ground.

His feet were cold, and his body became cold unconsciously.

She took out the ointment Qi Chengji sent, and walked into the bathroom, ready to take a bath to warm her body.

She didn't add body wash to the bathtub, the hot water in the bathtub slowly rose with white smoke, and the water was crystal clear.

Wei Ran stepped in, her feet were too cold to adapt to the water temperature, and her hot feet took a few steps back and forth in the water before she gradually got used to it.

When the whole person sat in, he couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh.

With the sound of "crashing" water, he raised his right hand, wetly holding the ointment placed beside him.

The ointment is exactly as Qi Chengji said, it has no smell at all, and its texture is like an ordinary face cream.

She rubbed it on her face, but it was as cold as if she had applied ice, which made her still acrid cheeks feel a lot better.

Wei Ran applied the ointment to absorb it, then leaned his head back on the bathtub, closed his eyes and relaxed.

Wei Ziqi opened the door and entered Wei Ran's room. There was no one in the room, but the bathroom light was on, so Wei Ziqi knew where she was.

But he was not in a hurry to go in to find her, he walked around the room casually, and when he walked to the bedside table, he noticed the mobile phone on it.

He picked it up, clicked on the text message, and looked at the text messages of Wei Ran and Qi Chengji. There were not many text messages, but it still made his face turn blue.

His finger rested on the text message sent by Qi Chengji, and because he stayed there for too long, words such as delete appeared.

Wei Ziqi narrowed his eyes slightly, and clicked on the blank space with his finger to cancel these shortcut menus.

He backed out, threw the phone back on the bedside table, and turned to look at the quiet bathroom.

Wei Ran closed his eyes and relaxed, and suddenly heard the sound of the bathroom door being pulled open with a "wow".

She opened her eyes in surprise, and subconsciously sat up, only to see Wei Ziqi blocking the bathroom door.

He stood like a giant, so she could only raise her head vigorously.

Wei Ran was so frightened that she almost jumped up, and suddenly felt a chill in her chest, and suddenly realized that because she sat up straight, she was almost completely exposed above the water, and the hot water only reached her stomach now.

She let out an exclamation, and hurriedly shrank into the bathtub, her front body clinging to the edge of the bathtub to block herself, but she gave Wei Ziqi her entire back.

Her back was chilly, she didn't know if it was cold or nervous, she couldn't help shivering.

She really regretted that she didn't put body wash in the water, at least the foam would block her body, and she wouldn't be as unstoppable as she is now.

"Get out!" she screamed, splashing hot water on Weizi Qi with one hand.

The sporadic splashes only soaked Wei Ziqi's shirt, but they didn't make him blink, let alone retreat.

Instead, Wei Ziqi took a step forward, staring at Wei Ran without blinking.

Just now when he came in, when Wei Ran sat up unpreparedly, he was amazed by the glimpse.

She is like a flower.Swaying like a bract, like a hibiscus emerging from water, water drops hang on the shallow plum blossoms.

Now, although she blocked the front, she showed him her fair back.

The graceful curves amazed him.

Wei Ziqi stared at her expressionlessly, the open door of the bathroom brought in the cold air outside, dissipating the hot smoke in the bathroom.

"Get out!" Wei Ran exclaimed.

Wei Ziqi curled his lips, and his long fingers suddenly landed on the back of her neck.

As soon as the fingertips fell, Wei Ran trembled, and goose bumps appeared on the place he touched.

"Stop! Don't touch me!" Wei Ran tremblingly said, but she couldn't turn around to avoid him, "Get out, please get out!"

Wei Ziqi remained silent, his fingertips just slid down slowly, exploring her graceful curves, the roughness of his fingertips and the cold air made her tremble violently.

Wei Ziqi simply sat on the edge of the bathtub and admired it carefully.

"Really grown up, haven't you?" he said softly.

Wei Ran gritted her teeth, stood up with her back to him, quickly grabbed the towel on the shelf and covered it in front of her, before turning to face him.

"I'll tell you! You shouldn't have come in!" Wei Ran said coldly, with anger on his face.

Wei Ziqi raised his head slightly, looking at her standing in the bathtub.

Even so, Wei Ran doesn't look very tall, and it doesn't take much effort for him to raise his head.

"Are you in love?" Wei Ziqi's mouth curled up mockingly, "You want to protect the Qi family, huh?"

"I don't know what's wrong with you, even if I'm not in love, I won't allow you to do this!" Wei Ran trembled with anger.

"Allow? When did I say that I need your permission?" Wei Ziqi stood up slowly, "Xiao Ran, you were brought back by me, without my permission, how dare you fall in love at will? How? Can you let other men touch you at will?"

"I didn't know you needed your consent!" Wei Ran mocked.

"Don't make such an expression, it's not suitable for you." Wei Ziqi shook his head, "Remember the day I just brought you back, did you promise anything?"

He approached her: "I can't remember, let me tell you."

"I said, I saved your life, and I gave you your surname, so everything you have in the future, including your life, will be mine."

"Your life and your feelings are all mine. You have promised this." Wei Ziqi pinched her chin. She was not injured there, but the pinched by Wei Ziqi hurt more than the wound. .

"I'm a human being, not your puppet! Do I want to die here without your consent?" Wei Ran opened his eyes wide, unable to believe that Wei Ziqi could say such a thing.

"That's right." Wei Ziqi spit out these two words without any pressure.

"You're dreaming!" Wei Ran said angrily, "Who I want to be with is none of your business, you don't care!"

The bath towels floated on the hot water, completely soaked and translucent.

"What are you doing! Let me go! Let me go!"

"Wei Ziqi!" She yelled with her first and last name, "I am a human being! I am not your toy, so I am not at your mercy. I have my own thoughts, so let me go!"

"I'm no longer an eight-year-old child, you can't treat me like this! You..." Wei Ran softened his tone, "You let me put on clothes first, okay? In your eyes, I may still be a child , but I'm not used to facing you like this...so...such way!"
