298 But What Did You Do? Self-Abuse?
“Why can’t you mention it to your sister?”
Yun Li was really puzzled. “I’m good friends with your sister. So why can’t she know that I’m in a relationship? Wen Xu, it’s been at least a week since we’ve had a conflict. Why did you only come to me now? You came to Yuecheng because Qianqian is back, right?”
She looked at Wen Xu and blurted out, “Don’t tell me you don’t want her to know because you like her?”
Yun Li was really too angry, so she spoke without thinking.
Only after saying it did she realize that she might have said the wrong thing.
Yun Li and Sang Qianqian had known each other for many years. Before she met Wen Xu, she had heard Sang Qianqian mention Wen Xu countless times.
It was only after she got to know Wen Xu that she realized that even though Sang Qianqian was good to him, Wen Xu was even better to her. That kind of good was from his heart and he cared for her.
What surprised Yun Li the most was Wen Xu’s obedience to Sang Qianqian’s words.
If she had not seen Wen Xu in front of Sang Qianqian with her own eyes, Yun Li would have found it hard to believe that Wen Xu could be so docile and obedient.
Yun Li had indeed once thought that Wen Xu’s attachment to Sang Qianqian was abnormal and had already exceeded the relationship of an ordinary sister and brother.
Of course, this kind of attachment could be related to the special environment that Wen Xu grew up in.
Yun Li didn’t think that Wen Xu really liked Sang Qianqian.
So when she blurted out those words, Yun Li felt a little guilty.
Just as she was hesitating about how she could remedy this, Wen Xu’s eyes were already filled with haze.
He gritted his teeth and said, “What the hell are you talking about? I didn’t come to you because I’ve just returned to Zhongwen and I’ve been too busy. I’ve just finished sorting things out these two days.”
“Me? Anyone would misunderstand in this situation, alright?”
Yun Li had always been amenable to coaxing but not coercion, and her mouth had always been very sharp. During the time when she wasn’t dating Wen Xu, she never lost to him.
Therefore, when she heard his words, Yun Li’s original intention to remedy the situation was immediately gone. Instead, she sneered, “Qianqian truly treats you as a little brother. I have never doubted that. As for you, hehe.”
She pointed in the direction of the bathroom and added, “Why don’t you go in and look at yourself in the mirror and see your expression? It was no different from the embarrassment that turned into anger after your secret was exposed…”
Wen Xu’s face turned from green to white to black, and he roared in rage, “Yun Li, shut your f*cking mouth!”
His expression at the moment was a little scary. His eyes looked like he wanted to strangle her.
Yun Li was a little shocked, but she didn’t want to admit it. “Don’t tell me you really like Qianqian and don’t dare to admit it? Well, it’s useless even if you admit it, because you can’t compare to President Shen at all. You’re far from him…”
A fist flashed in front of her eyes, bringing with it a cold wind. Yun Li was so scared that she closed her eyes.
With a ‘Smash!’ the glass door of the bookcase cracked, and Wen Xu’s fist actually landed on the bookcase behind Yun Li.
His hand was cut by the glass shards and blood was dripping.
However, he didn’t notice it at all and just stared at Yun Li, his eyes extremely terrifying.
This was something Yun Li had never seen before. The other Wen Xu was like a beast imprisoned in the dark. He suddenly broke out of the barrier and was about to pounce on her and tear her to pieces.
Yun Li had been angry, annoyed, and liked Wen Xu before, but she had never been afraid.
However, at this moment, all the hair on her body stood on end, and her nerves were tense. She actually felt an emotion called fear.
The room was deathly silent. The only sound was the sound of the blood on the back of Wen Xu’s hand dripping to the ground.
Yun Li tried her best to calm herself down. She licked her dry lips and said with a trembling voice, “….I was just joking with you…”
Wen Xu was still staring at her. After about ten seconds, his terrifying gaze finally receded like a tide.
He calmly took a few steps back and turned back into the Wen Xu that Yun Li was familiar with.
“Don’t make such jokes in the future.”
Wen Xu’s voice was very cold, with an indescribable sense of oppression. “Yun Li, since you know that I treat my sister differently, then don’t use my sister to test my bottom line.”
Yun Li wanted to apologize, but the words were stuck in her throat and she couldn’t say it.
“I can’t give you what you want now. However, my sister wants me to break up with you, right?”
Wen Xu said indifferently, “Then we’ll break up.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Xu turned around and left without looking back. The back of his hand was still stained with a lot of blood, which was a shocking sight.
“Wen Xu,”
Yun Li subconsciously chased after him. “I didn’t tell Qianqian about us. She thought that my colleague had some relationship problems and didn’t know that we’re together…”
Wen Xu didn’t respond at all and strode away.
Yun Li looked around the room. The broken bookcase door, the scattered glass shards, the blood on the ground, and the gift Wen Xu gave her on the coffee table.
There was an unspeakable fear in her heart, and it was extremely terrible.
She had a premonition that if she didn’t catch up with him tonight, perhaps it would be impossible for her and Wen Xu to ever be together.
When you like someone, you can really change beyond recognition.
Yun Li had once thought that she would definitely be the one taking the initiative in a relationship, because she wouldn’t easily fall in love.
She had never thought that one day, she would wear slippers and chase after a man in the middle of the night. She didn’t even know that her shoes had run away, and she only wanted to catch up with him.
And this was completely an instinctive, subconscious action.
Unfortunately, Wen Xu didn’t even turn back to look at her. He took the car and drove away, disappearing into the night.

“Didn’t you think of going to the hospital last night? What were you thinking?”
In the hospital, Sang Qianqian was cleaning the glass shards on the back of Wen Xu’s hand. “Why did you have to hold on until today? Didn’t you feel the pain last night?” She could not help but blame him. “How were you even able to sleep in this condition!”
“I disinfected it and applied medicine.”
Wen Xu was a little unconfident. “I didn’t see it that clearly last night. I thought I had already cleaned out the broken glass properly.”
Sang Qianqian did not know what to say. “So, how did you get injured?”
“Last night, I met a strange woman in the neighborhood. She pulled me and said a lot of things that were too much. I couldn’t hold back…”
Sang Qianqian paused in her actions. “You hit her?”
Wen Xu continued, “How could I? I punched the glass next to me. The woman ran away in fear.”
“You’re really something, huh?”
The moment these words were said, even Sang Minglang was convinced, “I’ll have to applaud you for holding back.”
“However, the reason for your injury is really weird.”
Sang Qianqian was speechless. “My brother got injured, too, but he’s still considered a hero for saving a damsel in distress. But what did you do? Self-abuse?”
“Hasn’t he always been a masochist, though?”
Sang Minglang glanced at Wen Xu. “When we were young, he often pretended to be injured to gain sympathy. You were the only one willing to fall for his tricks.”
