Chapter 379: "It had started kicking in." (3)
Hu Ruixue regretted deeply right now. Shu Yan had told her multiple times to watch out for Ji Fansheng. And she did at the beginning but he hadn’t been around for a long time and she started letting her guards down. She ran into Ji Fansheng on her way today and she was just exchanging pleasantries with him like friends. Lo and behold, he sprayed drugs straight at her and she was still feeling dizzy even now.
Ji Fansheng toyed with the cellphone as he squatted down slowly in front of Hu Ruixue. He looked at her with obsession and stroked her on her cheek.
“Xiao Xue, do you know how much I love you? I dreamed of you the first time when I was 13. You were smiling like an angel as you hugged and kissed me. Then I dreamed of you every night from then on. Why didn’t you like me? Our families are comparable; we grew up together. What don’t you like about me? You would rather pick a poor boy over me.” Ji Fansheng leaned into Hu Ruixue’s ear and sniffed. “I can even smell your scent in my dreams and, now, you are finally with me.”
His words gave Hu Ruixue gooseb.u.mps. She had to stop herself from wanting to kick him away and said nonchalantly, “Why did you leave after high school if you like me? It wasn’t like I had no feelings for you. You were the one who left me.” She knew that she needed to stall. If Shu Yan couldn’t reach her on her phone, she would for sure call her house. Her parents knew what it meant if she didn’t pick up after four rings.
“It was my mother’s idea. I would have attended college with her had she not made me left the country. I would never have left you marry someone else. And it was Sun Xi’s fault as well. She was the one who told my mom how wondering it was overseas. My mother would not have sent me overseas otherwise.” Ji Fansheng hugged Hu Ruixue and placed his chin on the top of her head.
“Is that why you stayed with her, got her pregnant, and left her there by herself?” Hu Ruixue took the opportunity to move away from him. She stared at Ji Fansheng.
“Oh, you found out about that.” Ji Fansheng seemed a little annoyed. Then, he smiled. “It’s alright that you’ve found out. I didn’t get together with her for revenge. I felt that you were next to me when I held her. It was like… going back in time when the three of us were together.”
Hu Ruixue’s hair stood up on her skin. She had now 100% certain that Ji Fansheng had mental issues, and bad.
“Whenever I was in bed with you, it made me think of you. And thinking about you made my blood roil, Xiao Xue. Be with me? We can be together, have a healthy child, and spend the rest of our lives together happily,” said Ji Fansheng emotionally as he kissed Hu Ruixue gently on her forehead.
Hu Ruixue only felt that all of her blood was about to freeze. She stopped herself from wanting to push him away from her. She could not afford to anger him right now.
Hu Ruixue smiled at him and lifted her hands to show him the ropes that tied her. “How am I going to be with you like this?”
“You promised me?” Ji Fansheng started intensely at Hu Ruixue and saw the slight smile on her. Her eyes were as pure as they were 10 years ago. He untied her without any hesitation.
Hu Ruixue rubbed her wrists and said, “Let me go take a shower.”
“No need. You are always the cleanest in my mind.” Ji Fansheng held her back.
“But I don’t want myself to be unclean. Can you not at least wait the amount of time that will take me to bathe?”
Ji Fansheng chuckled all of a sudden. “Don’t try to stall. You are not getting away.”
Hu Ruixue lowered her head. She couldn’t maintain that look on herself for much longer. She pinched her voice and said, “I am not trying to run. I really just want to take a bath.” She wanted to push Ji Fansheng away but suddenly noticed herself feeling weak.
“Ah, the drugs are kicking in.”
