Chapter 114: Chapter 114 I’m Just a Scattered Madman Chapter 114: Chapter 114 I’m Just a Scattered Madman “Ugh, ugh, ugh! Someone’s out to get me.”
As the large hand under the water seized her arm, Jiang Nanshu turned around only to see Lu Qingyan.
“???”
“Why is it you? Why aren’t you saving Su Ran and instead coming after me? I’m about to drown, wuuu.”
Jiang Nanshu struggled, but the water made her incredibly weak.
So she somewhat angrily lashed out at his face.
“Looking for a fight, huh? Let go of me.”
The buoyancy of the water made her slap feel like a mere tickle.
Jiang Nanshu blew out a string of bubbles, her vision cloudy.
“Old grudges and new? Taking it out on me for Su Ran? Do you really want to drown me? That makes sense, with me gone the marriage would naturally be called off. I don’t want to die… I haven’t gone back yet. Zhou Yanxu, Zhou Yanxu.”
Lu Qingyan, who had intended to bring Jiang Nanshu to the surface, saw she was starting to lack oxygen.
But upon hearing the words “Zhou Yanxu,”
he inexplicably recalled the two words she’d once slurred while drunk on his back.
He’d thought they were a mistake.
He asked who Zhou Yanxu was, and she said it was the scent on his body.
He assumed it was nonsense, only to find out there really was such a person.
His name is Zhou Yanxu?
“Damn it, I’ll remember you…”
Jiang Nanshu’s mind was foggy, and the next second, Lu Qingyan pulled her up forcefully, slamming her against a wall.
As she came into contact with fresh air, she coughed out violently, gagged a few times, and spat out a mouthful of water, her wet hair plastering against the side of her face.
Suddenly, she raised her hand and fiercely slapped Lu Qingyan across the face.
The sound was loud.
Even Su Ran, who had been rescued and was wrapped in a towel at the edge of the pool, was shocked.
Did Jiang Nanshu just smack Lu Qingyan in front of everyone?
“Oh my…” Jiang Yunchuan wiped his face, his expression full of aftershock: “Would I have gotten slapped too if I had rescued her?”
“Wuuu, even if I got hit, I would have saved her, but why did I end up rescuing Su Ran? Such bad luck.”
Jiang Leyi was somewhat at a loss for words: “You’re truly blind, rescuing the wrong person.”
Jiang Zhouye floated on the surface of the water, also speechless: “We really don’t know why we mistook her for Jiang Nanshu.”
All three of them ended up rescuing Su Ran, and Lu Qingyan who found Jiang Nanshu got slapped instead.
Lu Qingyan touched his cheek with the tip of his tongue.
When he had watched Jiang Nanshu slapping someone else, it seemed satisfying, but now that it was his turn…
He wasn’t even angry yet.
Why did she have to play them all in such a big circle.
To make a bunch of people worry for her!
“You…”
Before Lu Qingyan could speak, Jiang Nanshu’s eyes turned red the next second, her hands reaching to hug his neck, pressing against his chest, her voice sobbing: “Brother Qingyan, I didn’t mean to hit you, I know pushing Su Ran into the water was my fault, but who told her to provoke me, saying she understands you the best, I won’t allow it!”
“Try asking, who can stand such a mentally unstable psycho like me?”
She waited for Lu Qingyan to push her away fiercely.
He was the one who hated the original owner’s touch the most.
However, it didn’t happen as she wished.
Lu Qingyan’s hand gripped her waist, his cool face up against the red slap mark, not looking discomposed, but rather adding broken beauty to his visage.
He scoffed coldly, his words icy: “Why did you slap me?”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
[Not getting angry? Must be sick.]
She thought about how she had slapped Cheng An, slapped Liang Ciqiu.
Both were seething, but how come when it came to Lu Qingyan, he could still calmly question her?
She really was at a loss for words…
Her almond-shape eyes brimmed with tears, her bright pupils thoroughly washed, filled with grievance: “I thought, you wanted to take revenge for Su Ran, that’s why you wouldn’t let me surface, I was very angry.”
She looked up at the palm print on his face, which was particularly conspicuous on his pale skin.
Jiang Nanshu touched it with a pained hand and blew gently: “Does it hurt? I won’t hit you again next time.”
A soft touch came from his face.
Strangely, with a few gentle words in her soft voice, the anger in his heart vanished.
He must be crazy.
The one who was hit was him.
The one inexplicably moved was also him.
Casting aside these fanciful thoughts, his handsome brows and eyes turned cold: “Do you feel better now?”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
[Help, why did it turn out this way, should I change my strategy…]
She nodded blankly: “It’s gone…” then persistently clung to him, continuing to play the fool: “Brother Qingyan, from now on you must stay away from Su Ran, you can’t breathe the same air, walk on the same path, or even look at her with your eyes. I fear I’ll get triggered, my depression will act up and I’ll hit you again, wah wah wah, I’m just a scattered, broken lunatic.”
[If acting the devoted puppy won’t work, let’s try going mad.]
Who could accept this kind of suffocating, possessive love.
“Jiang Nanshu, that’s somewhat unreasonable,” Lu Qingyan said softly.
[If it were reasonable, I wouldn’t have said it, eh heh.]
“But it’s also acceptable, I will try to keep my distance from her. If she insists on coming to me, what do you think I should do?”
Before Jiang Nanshu could even rejoice for a second, Lu Qingyan’s words shocked her, making her breath much lighter.
[Damn, why would you agree? You should defy me to the death for the sake of your love with Su Ran; this is all screwed up, what a soap opera plot.]
Jiang Nanshu steadied her nerves, her voice somewhat stuttering: “Um… what, what to do… Won’t you run if she comes? If you don’t need your legs, donate them.”
He lowered his lashes, let go of her, and climbed out before squatting at the edge of the pool, reaching out a hand to her: “Um, come out first.”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
She glanced at Su Ran not far away, her eyes bloodshot.
Probably enraged as well, even though Jiang Nanshu in front of everyone had kicked her into the water, why did everyone only care about Jiang Nanshu, not even asking about her situation?
Even Lu Qingyan, when did he also become indifferent to right or wrong, his eyes gradually filling with Jiang Nanshu?
Jiang Nanshu flicked her black hair, she was also baffled, allowing herself to find a quiet place to come up with a new strategy.
As she reached out her hand to pull herself up using Lu Qingyan, her eyes involuntarily stared at a certain part of his body.
Her almond-shaped eyes widened.
[Wow, even a novel’s male lead is no better, jeez, Su Ran is so lucky.]
Lu Qingyan was stunned for a moment, following her gaze, his cheeks tinged red for an instant, his ears burning red as if they would bleed.
His voice embarrassed and annoyed, he bit back: “Jiang Nanshu, what are you staring at?”
Jiang Nanshu, caught in the act, awkwardly touched her nose, laughing sheepishly: “Hahaha… don’t misunderstand, when people reach a certain age, they just stare off into space. I suppose that’s a sign of maturity…”
Seeing Lu Qingyan’s complexion was still not good, she added another line: “Don’t be nervous, I’ve just become more stable.”
[What’s there to be nervous about, it was just a glance… Like a paragon of chastity, I didn’t even mention seeing your triangle underwear, hehe, with a low waist too, you have quite the spicy taste.]
Lu Qingyan’s face turned from black to red and finally pale, his eyes fixed deathly on Jiang Nanshu’s innocent face.
At last, he turned deathly somber, grabbed Jiang Nanshu’s hand, pulled her up quickly, and left without a word.
[Huh? You’re not impotent, are you, getting so touchy about someone staring?]
