Chapter 126: A Slap to the Face (6)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Shen Liangchuan looked at the video on Weibo.

The video was somewhat grainy and only showed the girl’s expression after she had been beaten up. Hair was covering her face, so Song Cheng had not managed to identify the girl’s identity.

However, Shen Liangchuan immediately clenched his fists.

This girl… Even if her face was covered, he could instantly recognize her.

It was Qiao Lian!

No wonder she was staying in the house even though it was clearly daytime. After all, she was a lively girl who would stay outside the entire day if she could…

No wonder she had been hiding in the bathroom and had not wanted him to see her, no wonder she had applied a facial mask on her face…

In reality, everything she had done was due to this!

How dumb was she?

Did she not know that applying a facial mask on a bruised face could aggravate the inflammation of her injuries?

As he thought about this, he suddenly turned the car around and sped it towards the villa.

On the way, his eyes had a foreboding feeling. As he thought about how the girl had had to endure two slaps in the face, he desperately wished that he could find Wang Wenhao right now and rip him apart!

When the car arrived at the villa, he intended to jump off the car to open the door but he suddenly stopped.

The momentary anger that had been boiling inside him just now had also slowly dissipated.

A flashback of her expression filled his entire mind at that moment. He couldn’t help but remember her sparkling eyes, even through the facial mask that was on her face.

His gaze flickered and suddenly, his lips curled up in faint mockery.

She had uncovered these scandals because of him. However… she had not dared to confide in him, even though she was angry.

Why did she not confide in him?

Was it because he had once warned her not to cause trouble for him?

As he thought about this, he leaned into the car seat and gazed at the villa’s second floor through the car window.

She had probably just finished washing the facial mask off her face. Thus, if he drove back into the villa, she would definitely have to anxiously reapply it again.

Since she did not want to let him know about this, then why should he enter the villa and cause more trouble for her?

His gaze landed on the steering wheel and an imperceptible expression flashed across his eyes.

He could hear voices from eight years ago suddenly start emanating beside his ear…

When he used to play video games with Qiao Lian, he would switch on the in-game voice chat to make their communication easier.

Once, when they were having a match, Shen Liangchuan chose to fight in the centre lane, which allowed Qiao Lian to fight from the periphery and thereby upgrade their equipments.

He stared at her as he fought the waves of monsters.

Suddenly, he saw on the world map that two enemy players had appeared in front of her.

He warned her, “Leave now!”

The game had just started and she would definitely lose if she fought alone against two players.

However, she said, “I’ll let them feel my prowess!”

And then… her character died.

After her character revived, she stubbornly continued to fight against those two players.

The centre lane was being attacked as well, so he was unable to assist her in her fight.

Therefore, her character died again and again.

After her character had died four times, she said commandingly, “Zi Quan, go and avenge me! You must definitely kill them four times!”

Shen Liangchuan pursed his lips and said, “Why should I help avenge your deaths when you died due to your idiocy? You knew that you could never defeat them, and yet fought them anyway!”

“Because you are my boyfriend! When I get bullied, it’s natural for you to protect me. Hurry up and go!”

Because you are my boyfriend…

That one sentence triggered him to ultimately kill the enemy players four times, as promised, which made her anger subside.

After the incident, he said to her, “Only idiots would still stubbornly try the same method even after failing numerous times. You should have waited for me to avenge you after dying the first time.”

“Yes, yes, yes, this little girl has learnt her lesson. Dear husband, please continue to take care of me in the future!”

The headstrong girl he had seen at that moment was a stark contrast to the girl that he saw today.

Shen Liangchuan’s suddenly felt his heart hurting.
