Chapter 16.1 - Snakes??? (1)

Wu Tong had fainted and fallen asleep. Qin Ge gently covered her with a blanket. His eyes were filled with remorse and despair. In the end, I couldn’t control myself.

“Mn.” Wu Tong trembled in her sleep and subconsciously avoided Qin Ge’s hand.

Qin Ge, who had reached out a hand in an attempt to push back the strands of hair clinging to Wu Tong’s forehand, stiffly retracted his hand. He turned around and got up from the bed. As he did so, he picked up his bathrobe and strode toward the bedroom door. He pushed it open and headed straight for the balcony.

The sky slowly began to brighten and a beautiful morning glow emerged at the horizon where the sea and sky met. It seemed as if, at any moment, the sun was about to shine through the clouds and bring life to the world.

Qin Ge laughed in a self-deprecating manner and suddenly punched the wall behind him with such force that it left five shallow wounds on his knuckles.

“Qin Ge, you’re not a human. You’re a beast!”

Qin Ge thought back to last night. From the moment they first began making love, Wu Tong’s face drained of color and her body contorted from the pain. But what did he do? He was well aware of how much pain she was in but he still didn’t stop himself. In fact, he didn’t want to stop.

As he ravaged her body, Wu Tong was akin to a ragdoll being torn to pieces. Despite this, she stubbornly refused to let out a sound, but in the end, she couldn’t take it anymore and begged him to slow down. However, this only excited him further.

Wu Tong’s skin was quite delicate to begin with but after Qin Ge ravaged her, she had hickeys all over her body, particularly around her waist. The dark purple blemishes were a ghastly sight to behold.

Thinking about all this irritated Qin Ge. He turned back and opened the wine cabinet, pulling out three bottles of liquor.

“You need to quit drinking.” Before they departed for their honeymoon, Doctor Li emphasized this. “No matter what happens, don’t drink to excess. Getting drunk will only make you lose control of your emotions and become more irritable.”

“F*ck!” In a fit of anger, Qin Ge downed three bottles of expensive baijiu. The air was instantly filled with the strong smell of alcohol.

Qin Ge returned to the balcony and kept punching the wall. It seemed like this was the only way to make the pang of guilt more bearable.

Time slowly passed by as the sun rose from the east before rising to its peak in the sky. Throughout all this, the bedroom remained quiet. Qin Ge didn’t dare to go inside and face Wu Tong, but he was also afraid that she would come out of the room of her own accord.

Noticing that it was almost noon, Qin Ge began to feel restless, so he quietly cracked open the bedroom door. Peaking in through the crack, he saw that Wu Tong was still fast asleep.

He had a look of dread on his face as he strode over to Wu Tong’s bedside and crouched down in front of her. He reached out a hand and gently touched Wu Tong’s forehead.

Wu Tong’s brows furrowed slightly. Upon noticing this, Qin Ge instantly retracted his hand as if he had been pricked by a needle.

When he saw Wu Tong’s facial expression relax as soon as he retracted his hand, Qin Ge could finally confirm that even while she was asleep, she was still afraid of him.

“You’re well aware that you have mental issues, so why did you have to go and get married anyway? What right do you even have?” Qin Ge began to self-ridicule again as he left the master bedroom. Since she doesn’t have a fever, I’ll just let her sleep in a little more. As for me? I need to wake up and face the facts.

As soon as the bedroom door clicked shut, Wu Tong slowly opened her eyes. She had already woken up half an hour ago but her body was sore all over, so she was incapable of moving around for the time being.

Wu Tong was well aware of her body’s current state without even lifting the blankets to take a look. Last night, Qin Ge was akin to an irrational wild beast with bloodshot eyes as he mercilessly ravaged her during their wedding night.

“Why did you say all that in front of me? Did you notice that I was already awake? How cunning of you. You’re trying to take advantage of the fact that I’m soft-hearted, aren’t you?” Wu Tong shook her head in a self-deprecating manner. Her heart was filled with grievances because everything Qin Ge had said touched the depths of her heart and she felt sorry for him.

When we officially met up for the first time after the hotel incident, he told you that he had issues. You already met his psychiatrist, too. You already promised to be tolerant before you got married to him.

Don’t be scared. It’s just his mental illness acting up again.

Wu Tong kept trying to comfort herself before sitting up with difficulty. After getting used to the sore and aching feeling in her legs, she put on a pair of pajamas before walking to the bedroom door and opening it.

So when I said this chapter would drop end of this month... :') I'm so sorry dear readers. I had this chapter translated but was caught up with my internship and study abroad paperwork, so it took a while to proofread and edit :(

The next part is pretty cute. It's just them squabbling again lul
