39 THE TOXIC RELATIONSHIP (2/2)
Xiao Maiguo looked at Yun Peng's hand, froze for a moment but answered steadily, ”I got it for my insomnia.”
Yun Peng nodded then tapped the bed, ”Come sit.”
Xiao Maiguo complied.
Yun Peng pulled out a bottle of iodine and cotton wool from a first-aid box he had placed on the nightstand earlier. ”The person who did this to you is a friend of mine.”
”What?” Xiao Maiguo cringed as the wet cotton wool touched the swelling on his face.
”A girl hurt you, right?”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
Xiao Maiguo was embarrassed. ”Well, I don't believe it's a girl.”
Yun Peng chuckled, ”Don't be ashamed. Not many people can take her on.”
”How do you know someone like that?”
Yun Peng shook his head, ”Doesn't matter. What matters is that the moment I saw you, I knew who did this. So, I called her to ask what happened. And she told me everything.”
Xiao Maiguo said nothing. He only bit his lower lip as Yun Peng gently ran the iodine-soaked cotton wool over his torso.
”If the hot water doesn't work for the swelling, this would.” Yun Peng said when he notion Xiao Maiguo biting his lips.
”What did she tell you?” Xiao Maiguo asked when Yun Peng finally put away the first aid kit.
”Everything.” Yun Peng replied.
”And if I said whatever she told you was a lie?”
”I wouldn't believe you.” Yun Peng said firmly.
”Why?” Xiao Maiguo scrunched up his face at Yun Peng's words.
”Because I trust her even more than I trust myself.” Yun Peng paused. ”What you did to that man today was terrible.”
Xiao Maiguo lowered his head.
”Moreover,” Yun Peng continued. ”I didn't realize we were cheating on each other now.”
”I... I didn't plan to do any of that. It's just, he was just there. And I had the pills in my pocket, so—”
”You don't even have the decency to lie to me.”
”Look, I'm sorry, okay? I was tempted.”
”And you gave in to your temptation?”
”Things like this happen all the time.”
”It's never happened with me before,” Yun Peng shook his head.
Xiao Maiguo stared at Yun Peng for a split second. Finally, he spat, ”Well, what are you going to do, leave me?”
Yun Peng looked at him with a helpless expression on his face.
”I didn't think so.” Xiao Maiguo said with a snicker.
”I can cheat too.” Yun Peng finally said.
”You can. But don't let me catch you. If I do, I'll kill the bastard who dares to touch you. Maybe I'll ask 'your friend' to do it.” Xiao Maiguo wrapped his arms around Yun Peng's neck. ”As for you, I'll ruin your life and everything you've worked hard for all these years.”
He leaned in and kissed Yun Peng on the lips.
”I know you're not with me for love but I don't care. I love you enough for the both of us. If you dare to leave me or cheat on me though, I promise, I'll ruin your life.”
Yun Peng grabbed Xiao Maiguo by the neck and slammed him on the bed.
Xiao Maiguo gritted his teeth in pain and tried to pry Yun Peng's hand from his neck to no avail.
Yun Peng stared at Xiao Maiguo, helplessly flailing on the bed. The latter's eyes turned glassy and watered.
Yun Peng released his neck and kissed the tears that fell from the corner of his eyes. ”I've felt like killing you more than three times today in itself. If you try something like this again, I'll kill you with my bare hands and bury your body under this bed.”
As Yun Peng stood up to leave, Xiao Maiguo pulled him by his collar of his cream-colored shirt and kissed him eagerly on his lips.
Yun Peng slowly parted his lips, allowing the other man access to his mouth.
With a swift move, he loosened the towel from Xiao Maiguo's waist and wrapped his palm around the latter's waist. Xiao Maiguo moaned into his mouth and whispered, ”I love you.”
