"I...I'm sorry for what I said earlier," Su Yuqian said to me as she turned her back to me after entering her room.
"Huh?" I couldn't help but sound surprised.
"Stupid Jerry, do you want me to say it again?" Su Yuqian turned around, her face already red, and her eyes somehow slightly moist.
"You..." I looked at her in astonishment.
"I didn't mean to say it like that, I just…"
Her voice choked up.
"I know…" I nodded with a smile. Su Yuqian stared at me, a questioning expression on her face.
"Auntie just said earlier, this is your personality, right…"
I couldn't help but laugh.
"Yeah, this is my personality. So you must really hate me... and... want to break up with me," Su Yuqian asked with a heartbroken look.
"Well, I actually kind of want to break up with you," I purposely said that to observe Su Yuqian. I could see her face darken, and tears started to fall.
"If you want to break up, then let's break up…" she said as she tried to run away.
"Hey, are you serious?" I quickly grabbed her hand.
"Anyway, no one can't stand my personality, right? No need to force yourself," Su Yuqian tried to pull away.
I held her slender waist, and her body trembled slightly. "I really didn't force myself, am I not your boyfriend? So, if I can't even handle this, then I'm really not qualified to be your boyfriend. I was just a little angry earlier when you spoke so lowly of me, even though it was you who invited me to your house and then made me leave at your door. Shouldn't I be upset?"
"I...how would I know? Mom suddenly changed the plan, she said she wanted to go to grandma's house for a few days," Su Yuqian said softly.
"So it wasn't your mother who wanted to meet me, you just wanted me to come to your house," I smiled mischievously.
Su Yuqian stomped on me with her foot. "Idiot, what are you thinking... I...I didn't want to do anything impure with you."
The pain made me reflexively lift my leg. "There's nothing wrong with having fantasies," I said, showing discontent.
"I don't care what dirty thoughts you have, but if you don't move your leg now, I might disable it," she threatened.
I looked down and saw that I had accidentally hit Su Yuqian's soft buttock with my knee.
"Ah, sorry..." I immediately put my leg down.
"And...let go of my hand too. How long do you want to hold onto me, Stupid Jerry?" she reluctantly let go.
"Yuqian, the tea is ready, come down and bring it," Auntie's voice came from downstairs.
"Oh..." Su Yuqian replied.
"You stay here for a while, I'll bring the tea..." I nodded as I scanned her room.
"No snooping around...otherwise...hmph!" she clenched her fist.
"Ah..." I replied fearfully and obediently sat on the floor.
When Su Yuqian left, I naturally couldn't just sit still.
Su Yuqian's room was filled with cute colors on every piece of furniture, really giving off a girly vibe.
"This..." I saw a cardboard box under the writing desk and pulled it out. It wasn't sealed with tape, so I easily opened it.
As soon as I opened it, I was completely stunned. Cosplay outfits and figurines of Sakazaki Yuri, Su Yuqian is...obsessed with Sakazaki Yuri.
Just as I was about to explore further, the door suddenly pushed open.
I didn't have time to react, and I heard Su Yuqian scream, "What...what are you peeking at?"
The tray with hot tea cups and dorayaki fell on me.
"Ah!" The burning pain on my back, hot water pouring on my back.
"Yujie..." Su Yuqian finally saw my miserable state and put down the cardboard box to check on me."What happened?" Auntie hurried over when she heard the sound, pushing the door open to see Su Yuqian looking helpless and me in great pain from the burn.
"Mom... I accidentally spilled hot tea on him," I explained.
"Yuxi, you're so careless," Auntie scolded.
Su Yuqian lowered her head, showing a very guilty expression. "Don't just stand there, quickly help him take off his clothes, I'll go get some white wine."
"Take off my clothes?" Su Yuqian was surprised.
"If you don't do it, the burn will be severe... stop hesitating," Auntie said sternly. Su Yuqian blushed and reluctantly started to undo my shirt buttons. Auntie had already gone downstairs.
"Your Highness, can you hurry?" I looked weakly at her.
"I... I want to hurry too, but... why are your clothes so hard to take off, and why do you wear so many layers?" Su Yuqian complained.
"It's cold, and besides, I only have three layers on, including the coat," I explained.
"Stop talking nonsense," Su Yuqian said.
"I'm in this state all because of you," I grimaced in pain.
"It's your own fault, you deserve it for rummaging through someone else's things," Su Yuqian retorted.
"What's wrong with looking at Sakazaki Yuriko?" I defended myself.
"Sakazaki Yuriko!" Su Yuqian suddenly became emotional and roughly stripped off the clothes I was wearing. I was left half-naked, shivering from the cold air.
"It's so cold..." I trembled, hugging myself.
"Just bear with it for a moment," Su Yuqian said.
"Use this to dab it, it's effective for burns," Auntie said as she came upstairs and handed Su Yuqian a cotton ball soaked in what smelled like white wine in a small cup.
Su Yuqian gently dabbed the soaked cotton ball on my burn, causing a burning sensation on my back.
As she continued to dab, I felt Su Yuqian's movements stop. Confused, I asked her, "Why did you stop?"
She touched a certain spot on my back and said, "Why is there a cross-shaped mark on your back?"
"Is there?" I asked.
"Yes, there is. Don't believe me? Feel it for yourself," Su Yuqian placed my hand on the spot she was referring to, and I indeed felt it.
"Indeed, there is..."
"How did it happen?"
"I'm not sure... maybe I did it when I was mischievous as a child."
"Is that so?"
"I really don't know..."
"...I don't even want to know how you did it, you fool. Just sit still and don't move!"
Hearing Su Yuqian's words, I reluctantly sat still and endured until she finished dabbing.
