Yin Man’s legs seemed to really be showing signs of recovery. Yin Man had tried repeatedly for several days, but still had not felt the slightest movement, and the hope that had just been kindled was shattered.
Liu Siyin’s injury was not very deep, but she was still hospitalized for observation.
The afternoon sunlight was warm and gentle. Yin Man sat in a wheelchair, while Liu Siyin sat on the hospital bed. They held hands and faced the direction of the window together, basking in the sun.
A rare moment of comfort.
Yin Man thought that this was actually not bad. There was a somewhat tender feeling to it, and even if it was only fleeting, it should be cherished.
Liu Siyin’s emotions had calmed down quite a bit. Ever since Yin Man brought her out of the Liu family home, she had been much better. She was still very afraid of the dark, and liked to hold Yin Man’s hand, as if that could ease the fear in her heart.
Yin Man had never really experienced love, but she and Liu Siyin probably did not count. Liu Siyin depended on her, and she merely felt pity for Liu Siyin.
Bathed in the warm sunlight, she actually began to feel drowsy.
Yin Man was still sleepy when the hospital room door was pushed open. It was a young girl. Yin Man’s attention fell on her legs. She was wearing a short skirt, and her long legs were fully exposed, very white, very slender, very long, very beautiful. Yin Man gave a fair assessment.
With a stranger in the room, Liu Siyin unconsciously tightened the hand in her palm. Yin Man comforted her, “It’s fine.”
But her gaze unconsciously kept wandering over the girl’s legs. The girl noticed Yin Man’s gaze and cursed, “Pervert!”
That was the instinct of the original body. Yin Man was also troubled by the fact that she did not have complete control over this body, but this girl had barged into Liu Siyin’s hospital room to pick a fight, so looking at her a couple of times did not seem too much, did it.
The girl slightly lifted her proud chin and stared at Yin Man. “Yin Man, you bullied my cousin, and you bullied my cousin-in-law too! Today, I’m going to make you pay with your life!”
“Who are you?” Yin Man carefully searched through her memories, but still could not piece together the girl’s face, so she could only ask. The girl pointed at herself in disbelief. “You actually asked who I am?”
“I’m your ex-girlfriend’s younger sister!” The girl’s tone was extremely unfriendly. Yin Man pressed her throbbing brow. “I’ve had too many ex-girlfriends, be more specific.”
“Jiang Yan!”
Jiang Yan, the beautiful doctor from the original text, was also a young lady from the Jiang family, and Mei Xuying’s friend. She had been Yin Man’s private doctor for a period of time. It seemed that because Yin Man thought Jiang Yan looked quite good, she had forced Jiang Yan to be her private doctor.
During that time, Jiang Yan seemed to have been at Yin Man’s beck and call. Yin Man often called Jiang Yan in the middle of the night, making Jiang Yan run around all over the place, so Jiang Yan especially hated Yin Man.
Another woman who hated the original body, and one of the people who would later join Yin Youxia and the others in targeting Yin Man.
The original body not only had many romantic debts, she was also quite good at making people dislike her.
She could not remember anything more than that, and she had even less impression of this so-called cousin, so it would not be strange if she was just another cannon fodder.
Yin Man touched her chin and blinked slightly. “She’s dead?”
The girl shook her head lightly. Yin Man pressed her lips together, and cold words slipped out from between her teeth. “If she’s not dead, then why are you talking about paying with your life?”
“You——” The girl was so angry she could not speak. Yin Man ignored her. Her gaze fell on Liu Siyin. Since the girl entered, Liu Siyin had not said a word, only gripping Yin Man’s hand tighter and tighter. Yin Man gently patted Liu Siyin’s hand. “Don’t be afraid, she’s just a crazy woman.”
“Yin Man, who are you calling crazy!” She had just returned from abroad. She had heard of Yin Man’s notorious reputation before, and had also heard about the things Yin Man had done to Jiang Yan. She had already hated her for it in her heart.
She had not expected that as soon as she came back, she would hear that her future cousin-in-law had been sent to the hospital by Yin Man with a pair of scissors, so she hurried over to settle accounts with Yin Man. As the saying went, ignorance was no crime, so she had been bold enough to come to the hospital room to look for Yin Man.
Yin Man’s indifferent attitude made Jiang Wan extremely displeased. “Yin Man, if that pair of scissors had really taken my cousin-in-law’s life, would you have been happy?”
Scissors.
Yin Man reacted.
“Your cousin-in-law is Wang Gu?”
She had not expected Wang Gu’s fiancée to be Jiang Yan. She had no impression of this at all, but it was indeed a little unfortunate. The Jiang Yan in the book was a fairy untouched by mortal dust, so to fall into the dust and marry a man whose beauty could so easily cloud his judgment was truly pitiable and lamentable.
Though Yin Man was thinking this, there was no sympathy in her eyes. She even had the mood to pinch the small hand held in her palm. “Once you’re done speaking, you can leave.”
Seeing that Yin Man had no intention of taking the bait at all, Jiang Wan shifted her gaze to Liu Siyin. That overly exquisite face made Jiang Wan freeze for a moment. She simply dragged a chair over and sat down beside the hospital bed. “Pretty girl, why are you so thoughtless as to look for Yin Man? She’s just a beast. You don’t even know, when my cousin was dating her, she was beaten by her, and her back was covered in injuries.”
“She was probably physically incomplete and mentally twisted, just like those eunuchs in the dramas on TV. She’d hang you up, strip your clothes off and whip you, then drive a needle that long straight into your leg…”
That was not slander. The original body really had done those things.
It was just that the original body seemed to have only made Jiang Yan her private doctor for two years.
When had she also had something going on with Jiang Yan?
Not only was there nothing like that in the original text, there was nothing like that in the original body’s memories either. Yin Man had reason to suspect that this girl was trying to extort her.
Liu Siyin seemed frightened, her body trembling slightly. Her pearly teeth could not help but bite her lip. Liu Siyin really loved biting herself far too much. Yin Man hurriedly stopped her. “Don’t bite.”
Liu Siyin was even more afraid after being shouted at. Her eyes were faintly red, and the teeth that had just touched her lips slowly loosened. Yin Man’s gaze toward Jiang Wan also turned impatient. “Get out!”
The girl was not convinced. “Yin Man, what right do you have to yell at me?”
“If it were a few days earlier, you would no longer be able to speak.” If it were the original body’s temper, she would have long since thrown her to the sharks. How could she still be jumping around in this hospital room? At a time like this, Yin Man suddenly felt that the original body’s temper had its good points too. Just as she was thinking this, she saw a bodyguard in black clothes knock and enter. “Miss, what happened?”
Yin Man was never short of obedient tools. She ordered, “Throw her out.”
She had driven everyone out, not for some woman to come bouncing around in the hospital room, but so she could enjoy a warm private moment alone with Liu Siyin.
Her gaze fell on Liu Siyin’s fragile face, and she asked softly, “Were you frightened?”
“Man, Man姐.” She called her that, seeming as if she might cry in the next moment, but it also sounded as though she had something she wanted to say to her.
“Mm?” Liu Siyin climbed down from the bed, fumbled her way to the floor near her wheelchair, and reverently took her hand to place it on her own face. “I, I’m not afraid of pain.”
Was Liu Siyin implying that she could hit her? Yin Man’s fingertips moved slightly, and some pathological desire in her heart seemed about to surface. She quickly bit her own lip in secret to suppress that thought, and shook her head. “What nonsense are you saying?”
“Man姐, I really am not afraid of pain. If you want to, I can do anything.” In truth, had Liu Siyin already heard about some of the original body’s quirks? After all, even a minor character like Jiang Wan could know about them, so Liu Siyin, at any rate someone who had once been engaged to Yin Youxia, should also have known.
When Liu Siyin agreed to be with her, had she already thought it through and decided to satisfy all her perverse demands? Who in the world would not be afraid of pain.
She was very afraid. As soon as that thought crossed her mind, pain began to surface in Yin Man’s body. Yin Man took a deep breath and suppressed the needle-like pain that had just flared up. “Stop saying such foolish things.”
After being frightened, Liu Siyin actually became resolute. There was no more fragility, only determination, and there was even a faint smile at the corners of her lips. “I’m not afraid.”
Yin Man’s fingers were long, and her fingertips were cold. They slowly moved along Liu Siyin’s jaw. “Liu Siyin, I hit very hard. What if I beat you to death?”
“I’m not afraid of death either.” Yes, she had already very much wanted to die.
For Liu Siyin at this moment, no matter how bad Yin Man was, she was still the only existence that had given her hope. Between suicide and being beaten to death by her, she chose the latter.
However, she was not the original body. She would resist that pathological urge.
Yin Man’s long fingers slowly moved downward. They lingered at Liu Siyin’s fair neck for a moment, then slowly moved lower. Liu Siyin only felt electricity surging through her body, leaving her utterly weak. She lightly bit her teeth and let Yin Man touch her.
When she touched something soft, Yin Man froze. Her face instantly flushed bright red, and she suddenly drew her hand back. She had actually touched Liu Siyin’s chest so brazenly. She had never properly dated before, and yet after skipping straight from holding hands, hugging, and kissing, she had gone directly to touching her chest, and her movements had even been so practiced.
Help, she was clearly still a pure and innocent girl, okay?
Yin Man cursed herself for being a pervert, but Liu Siyin lowered her head in grievance. “I, is it not comfortable?”
What was Liu Siyin being so insecure about? That feel, that softness, like a piece of warm jade in her hand, that was not merely comfortable, it was practically soul-stirring. It was just too fast.
Yin Man wanted to explain to Liu Siyin when suddenly sharp pain, like thousands and thousands of needles stabbing into her, struck her so hard that she let out a soft cry. “Ah!”
“Man姐, what’s wrong?” The darkness before her eyes and Yin Man’s painful cry made Liu Siyin uneasy. She stood up and fumbled her way over, touching that face already beginning to break out in cold sweat from the pain. “Man姐, are you okay?”
Yin Man’s eyelashes trembled, and her gaze fell on Liu Siyin’s lips, which were very, very close. Her heart softened little by little.
She endured the pain and slowly let her fingertips fall onto Liu Siyin’s lips. The pale, faint color looked like a peach. If she kissed it once, it would definitely be sweet, right.
“Liu Siyin, do you want to kiss me?” She wanted to kiss Liu Siyin, but by the time it came out, the words had become indirect and subtle. She guessed Liu Siyin did not want to, but the next moment, Liu Siyin found her lips and gently leaned in.
Liu Siyin’s lips looked very soft, very tender.
Even her breathing was sweet, carrying a faint fragrance. Yin Man seemed to be affected by it, and even the pain was lessening, when an ill-timed voice rang out, interrupting the kiss that had not yet begun.
“Cousin!”
Mei Xuying came neither too early nor too late, but at a moment like this. Was she doing it on purpose?
Author’s note:
[Bonus little skit]
Jiang Wan: No way, no way, there can’t still be someone who doesn’t know the famous Jiang family young lady Jiang Wan, right!
Yin Man: Can you be more famous than me?
Jiang Yan: My younger sister’s brain isn’t very good, forgive her.
Yin Man: Your sister scared my wife. Don’t let her out next time.
Jiang Wan: Pretty girl, hurry up and leave Yin Man. She’s a pervert.
Liu Siyin: What a coincidence, so am I.
The Jiang sisters: O_O
What a perfect match!
