- Chapter 53 - I Want to Become a More Reliable Person in Your World
Yi Jing rarely didn’t work overtime, leaving the office on time and sitting in the back seat of the Supervisory Office’s car on the way home, leaning on his face and looking out the window.
The scenery on both sides retreated rapidly, reflected in Yi Jing’s somewhat empty pupils as he was lost in thought.
His injured shoulder relaxed naturally, fingers lightly rubbing the storage device in his pocket.
She missed Yu Miao very much. The more uncertain times like this, the more she missed her.
The desire to be close and to meet came without reason, as if just seeing Yu Miao could calm her down, as if just feeling Yu Miao’s body temperature could regain the peace she wanted.
She wanted to hear Yu Miao’s voice.
Just then, a special notification sound suddenly entered her ears from the terminal – it was the unique message alert for Yu Miao.
Yi Jing’s eyes lit up, instantly forgetting to continue being melancholy, and happily pulled up the terminal interface as if by reflex.
The message preview from Yu Miao jumped to the most prominent position at the top of the terminal interface, still in a relaxed and natural tone, asking if she had gotten off work as usual.
Yi Jing didn’t even realize her own happiness, but just temporarily forgot about the surveillance video she hated at the moment she heard the notification sound, cheerfully tapping into it, and then saw the content of the message Yu Miao sent.
Yu Miao: [Image.jpg]
Yu Miao: [Off work yet? Good girl, there’s a new soup dish tonight]
The content in the image was a clay pot being heated over low heat.
Actually, except for when Yi Jing was really hospitalized, Yu Miao didn’t cook much, but whenever she wanted to make something, it always tasted good. It was incomparably more delicious than the weird-tasting soups during the hospital stay.
It seems the hellish flavors before were all intentional on Yu Miao’s part.
However, Yi Jing only had moderate expectations for the soup – because Yu Miao was there.
Compared to Yu Miao, the amazement other things brought her always paled in comparison.
She was still more looking forward to meeting Yu Miao.
[Almost at the manor, no overtime today] Yi Jing replied unconsciously with curved lips.
The next second, Yu Miao’s reply jumped to the chat interface: [Good girl.]
Yi Jing was suddenly struck by Yu Miao’s response, so happy she wanted to roll around.
Fortunately, Yi Jing remembered she was still in the Supervisory Office’s car the next second, with a driver watching in front, so she quickly composed herself, cleared her throat, and became serious again.
But her mood was still much better than before. Even though it wasn’t convenient to appear too unstable, Yi Jing was genuinely healed.
Yu Miao was like the best magic potion to cure her negative emotions. Even though the storage device was still in her pocket, it could no longer bring her the heavy mood from earlier.
Compared to other things, Yu Miao was the only one who could guide her emotions.
The car sped back to the Yi family manor area. Yi Jing switched to the low-speed vehicle inside the manor and returned to her residence with Yu Miao, carrying the chill of autumn.
The lights in the house were warm as usual, with a soft fragrance permeating, making one want to indulge unconsciously.
“Sister.” As soon as Yi Jing saw Yu Miao, she unreasonably clung to her, reaching out to hug Yu Miao’s waist and burying her head in Yu Miao’s shoulder.
“Hmm?” Yu Miao, who came to greet her, was a bit confused and tilted her head to look at the suddenly clingy puppy, asking, “What’s wrong, did someone bully you at the Supervisory Office?”
Hearing this question, Yi Jing, who was focused on burying her head and clinging, was also stunned for a moment.
Huh? Is that even possible? It’s really an angle she had never thought of before.
Yi Jing, who wanted to create opportunities to act spoiled even when there weren’t any, immediately whimpered and said pitifully: “Yes, they all bully me, endless meetings and reports every day, and they always throw difficult and thorny matters at me. I hate them so much.”
Yi Jing originally just wanted to make up a random excuse to pretend to be pitiful and let Yu Miao comfort her, but as she spoke, she thought of the storage device in her pocket and suddenly felt genuinely emotional.
Hate it so much.
After all is said and done, it’s all the Yi family’s fault. If the Yi family hadn’t caused trouble, she wouldn’t need to face the current situation.
So annoying.
“That upset?” Yu Miao gently stroked Yi Jing’s hair.
She didn’t have the same complex feelings as Yi Jing, just slightly tilted her head to listen to Yi Jing’s puppy whimpers, heartlessly thinking the sound was quite cute.
“Mm, I hate them so much.” Yi Jing said in a low voice unhappily, repeating what she had just said.
Yu Miao was amused and felt an increasingly strong urge to play with the puppy. After a long while, she finally suppressed her mischievous thoughts and continued to care for Yi Jing: “So pitiful? Does your wound hurt?”
When asked about this, Yi Jing did have something to say: “It doesn’t hurt much, just feels a bit heavy sometimes, which the doctor said is a normal recovery reaction.”
Yu Miao frowned, more serious than before: “Let me take a look.”
Yi Jing was stunned: “Huh? Now?”
“When else?” Yu Miao raised her eyes to look at Yi Jing, “Is there anything on your body I’m not allowed to see?”
“Oh! No, there isn’t.” Yi Jing’s ear tips turned red as she obediently sat on the sofa and started undoing the buttons on her uniform jacket.
The stiff jacket was set aside, half the buttons on her shirt undone, the collar slightly pulled open to reveal the spot where she had been shot.
Although the medical capabilities of this world far surpassed Yi Jing’s world outside the book, they were not omnipotent. The force of the small-caliber bullet’s long-range precision strike left a large mark on Yi Jing’s shoulder. After the initial surgery, it became a series of light red marks, like cracks on porcelain.
Yu Miao frowned slightly and walked over, unable to help feeling a bit heartbroken.
Yi Jing’s body lines had always been beautiful, with long limbs and excellent proportions, smooth and flowing muscle lines, obvious traces of training, almost flawless.
Yu Miao had always liked the beautiful body Yi Jing inadvertently revealed.
And precisely because it was beautiful, this mark now seemed even more painful.
Yi Jing turned her head back unknowingly, but before she could make eye contact with Yu Miao, she was pushed back – Yu Miao seemed to not allow Yi Jing to see her.
Actually, Yi Jing’s external injuries had mostly healed, ensuring basic mobility when discharged from the hospital. However, it would still take a long time to recover from the negative effects of muscle, bone and nerve damage, and eliminating those scars was prioritized after muscle and nerve recovery.
Originally Yi Jing didn’t think those light red marks were a big deal, since she couldn’t see them herself and they didn’t feel like anything when touched. Sometimes when bored, she even thought the pattern looked kind of cool, after all, government officials in this world weren’t allowed to get tattoos either.
But now the situation was completely different. Yu Miao suddenly came behind Yi Jing to look at her, and even with her back to Yu Miao, Yi Jing could clearly feel Yu Miao’s gaze, sensing that Yu Miao was staring at the marks on her shoulder.
Yu Miao’s gaze carried a burning temperature, caressing the evidence of the attack on Yi Jing’s shoulder bit by bit, making Yi Jing both itchy and a little embarrassed. She couldn’t help but frantically regret in her heart that she hadn’t communicated with the doctor earlier to fade these scars.
“Does it hurt a lot?” As Yi Jing was lost in thought, her shoulder suddenly warmed, and a small patch of skin felt a real warmth and tickle.
It was Yu Miao placing her fingertips on her shoulder, lightly tracing along the patterns of those light red scars, as if outlining the shape of the scars on Yi Jing’s shoulder.
The last time Yu Miao touched her like this was when the two were flirting. The physical sensation stirred up sunken memories, and Yi Jing’s ears instantly turned red, half her shoulder going numb, her thoughts running wild far away, all the way towards the blocked direction.
“Sister, don’t ask me like that.” Yi Jing’s face also reddened, softly speaking while catching Yu Miao’s hand, her eyes darting around as she said, “It makes me feel a bit strange.”
“Hmm? Why strange?” Yu Miao lowered her head and gently kissed the mark on Yi Jing’s shoulder.
Yi Jing: “——!!!”
If Yi Jing were really a kitten or puppy, her back fur would probably be standing on end. Suddenly kissing the scar like that…
It was a bit too much ahhhh!!!
Yi Jing restrained herself, but still couldn’t help turning back to kiss Yu Miao, using actions to explain why she felt strange.
How could constantly wanting to kiss not be considered strange ahhhh!!!
Yu Miao didn’t refuse, tilting her head slightly to be intimate with Yi Jing, kissing very gently, but still asking that one question between kisses: “It doesn’t hurt much?”
“When?” Yi Jing was a bit dazed from kissing Yu Miao and instinctively told the truth, “It’s fine at work, just occasionally feels a bit like growing pains, still tolerable.”
“So it was very painful when you were shot?” Yu Miao vaguely felt a surge of anger rising, suppressing her anger as she continued Yi Jing’s words, raising her head close to Yi Jing, kissing Yi Miao faintly while uttering devilish whispers of settling accounts,
“You never tell me the specific situation when you were shot. I seem to have asked you if the shooting incident was safe or not, how confident you were before taking action, but you never answered me.”
Yi Jing: “…”
Yi Jing was silent, Yi Jing had nothing to say.
The romantic mood completely died, the little remaining rationality collectively revived, unquestioningly holding back the self that was about to lose control.
“Um, I… uh, sister, aren’t we still abstaining recently?”
Yi Jing retreated with a red face, not daring to look at Yu Miao much, looking at the sky and ground as she moved to the other side of the sofa, pulling back her shirt collar and buttoning it up as she moved,
“You haven’t let me think about those things for a long time, isn’t it not good to suddenly be like this?”
“It’s okay, we don’t have to do anything.” Yu Miao’s eyelashes fluttered lightly as she watched Yi Jing’s scars being hidden under her shirt, finally remembering her initial feelings.
She just felt very heartbroken seeing Yi Jing’s scars.
What’s done is done, getting angry at an unhealed patient now would only add to their burden.
Yu Miao sighed lightly, feeling she was probably a bit too hasty, and softened her heart a little as she shifted her gaze to change the subject: “Forget it, you poor thing. Seeing you’re still injured, I won’t tease you anymore, go play.”
Yu Miao said as she stood up, preparing to bring the soup she had prepared, but Yi Jing’s hand pressed on her own uniform at that moment.
The storage device in Yi Jing’s pocket lightly bumped Yi Jing.
The anxiety and unease before seeing Yu Miao were reminded by that storage device. Yi Jing, who was just red-faced and embarrassed moments ago, suddenly reached out and caught Yu Miao’s wrist.
“Hmm?” Yu Miao lowered her head to look at Yi Jing.
For some reason, the little alpha suddenly looked at her accusingly, as if she had abandoned a dog, looking both unwilling and angry.
Yu Miao thought for a moment but couldn’t figure out what was wrong.
Was it because she was unwilling to be intimate?
It shouldn’t be, right? Her puppy just liked to act spoiled and was a bit clingy, not unreasonable. Yi Jing’s injury really hadn’t fully recovered, which was why she was unwilling to be rash in being intimate with Yi Jing. Could the little alpha be angry with her over this?
“Sister, Yu Miao,” Yi Jing frowned and hesitantly spoke, her expression complex as she looked at Yu Miao, “We won’t separate, right?”
“?” Yu Miao frowned slightly, lowering her eyes to carefully consider, “Because I won’t have sex with you? It doesn’t seem like we’d separate over that.”
“…”
The courage Yi Jing had mustered to ask in one breath was almost choked back. She got a bit agitated and burst out, “That’s not what I meant!”
“Then what is it because of?” Yu Miao raised her eyes and glanced at Yi Jing.
“!” Yi Jing instinctively felt that Yu Miao had noticed something.
Yu Miao was always like this, able to discover things others tried hard to hide without realizing, never falling behind.
But this time Yi Jing really didn’t want to tell Yu Miao everything again. She didn’t want to give Yu Miao a chance to hide things from her. She wanted Yu Miao to tell the truth.
“I mean, can you not just love.” Yi Jing looked up at Yu Miao, stumbling a bit before continuing, “Not just like me, can you trust me a little more?”
Yu Miao frowned slightly, her gaze shifting, answering a bit puzzled: “I don’t know why you’re saying this.”
How could she not trust Yi Jing?
She always believed that no matter what she did, Yi Jing would never hurt her.
“I…” Yi Jing’s voice paused, wanting to open up to Yu Miao but unable to.
She didn’t want to make things clear now, that would only give Yu Miao a chance to blur the key points and hide her true thoughts.
She especially didn’t want to take out that surveillance video now and ask Yu Miao to watch it with her, verifying on the spot whether Yu Miao was involved in the mayor’s mansion explosion and then lied to her afterwards.
That would be like forcing her.
Whether Yu Miao had lied to her or not, doing so would hurt their relationship.
How would they get along after really making a scene like that?
She didn’t want to cause even a bit of harm to Yu Miao, let alone give this sensitive, suspicious, and cold-hearted person any chance to distrust her, even if Yu Miao may have lied to her first now.
She wanted to take a gamble.
Bet that Yu Miao loved her too, bet that Yu Miao would come to open up to her, bet that they had a chance to develop a deeper, unbreakable romantic entanglement beyond just feelings and protection.
She no longer wanted to be so clear-cut with Yu Miao like now, their connection so simple that it seemed Yu Miao could withdraw at any time to avoid involving her.
She didn’t want that.
After all, she liked Yu Miao. From the moment the thought of Yu Miao could not be erased from her mind no matter what, she had no way out.
She must have Yu Miao, no matter what they had to face together.
In a moment, Yi Jing sorted out her thoughts and no longer dwelled on the previous topic, just reaching out to hug Yu Miao’s waist, acting spoiled and clingy as usual.
Taking advantage of Yu Miao’s helplessness and lack of awareness, Yi Jing promised in a voice almost inaudible to others: “Sister, come rely on me. I want to become a more reliable person in your world.”
