IP Chapter 36.2
Incurable Pain | Chapter 36.2
They shouldnt have come to this building.
She wanted to stop Yu Luoyin, tugging at his school uniform sleeve with all her might, but the boy held onto her firmly, his steps unwavering.
As if trying his hardest to create a safe s.p.a.ce for her
Bai Xunyin shook her head helplessly.
This gla.s.s skysc.r.a.per was mid-rise, eight floors in total, and when they reached the seventh floor, they suddenly heard a loud crash of gla.s.s breaking, especially piercing in the silent night, causing both of them to pause instinctively.
At the very instant they locked eyes, they saw each others astonishment.
Then, Yu Luoyin pursed his lips, bent down, and lifted Bai Xunyin onto his back, continuing upwards without looking back.
I brought you here, so Ill take responsibility if anything goes wrong, Yu Luoyin said calmly amidst the girls struggles.
Ill hide you first, you
Before he could finish his sentence, Bai Xunyin had already bitten down hard on his shoulder, the force resembling that of a wild animal, causing Yu Luoyin to let out a soft hiss and instinctively loosen his grip.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Bai Xunyin jumped down.
The two of them were already standing on the rooftop, where the ground was uneven. From here, one could fully appreciate the vast and beautiful scenery of Linlan
But despite its vastness, there was nowhere to hide.
Why are you running?
Suddenly, a mans voice came from behind, making both of them s.h.i.+ver involuntarily, their hairs standing on end.
It was the man Bai Xunyin had injured with a knife. Perhaps due to the pain, his voice sounded a bit weaker than before.
But a sinister smirk hung on his pale face, Running again? You cant escape, can you? Youre back at the same place.
He seemed to be enjoying the cat-and-mouse game, his eyes gleaming as he glanced at Bai Xunyin, full of mischief.
Little girl, the man ignored the pain in his hand and actually chuckled, do you remember this place? Isnt this where your old man jumped off? Were quite fated with this place.
Bai Xunyin grabbed Yu Luoyins arm, as if finding a pillar to support herself and keep from collapsing.
Her face was pale, almost translucent, with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
Everything can be negotiated, Yu Luoyin pulled her behind him protectively, casually glancing at the location software on his phone.
Ill give you money, the same card, pa.s.sword 001218.
The h.e.l.l with you! Stop pretending!
The man, having been fooled by Yu Luoyin before, ignored the card this time and punched him hard.
His voice was like a lit firecracker, Money? Youre not even worthy to talk about money with me! You little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, youre only fit to lick my shoes!
As the man raged, he punched and kicked. One kick landed directly on Yu Luoyins knee, causing the young mans tall figure to sway slightly, enduring the intense pain of almost being brought to his knees by the kick.
He didnt want Bai Xunyin to worry, but his clear, sharp eyebrows couldnt help but furrow.
Bai Xunyin trembled violently all over. Rationality struck her like a bolt of lightning, returning her to her senses from her dazed state.
She didnt care about when or where they were. Unconsciously, she wanted to rush forward and stand in front of Yu Luoyin. She didnt want her familys mess to drag others into it.
But the girls fragile body wasnt enough to withstand a shove from the man.
Get out of the way! Dont come any closer!
Yu Luoyin endured the pain as he pushed Bai Xunyin away, his brow furrowed tightly as he forcefully pushed her far into a corner.
Dont be a nuisance here.
His speech was cold and forceful, appearing devoid of sympathy but in reality, he had the intention of keeping Bai Xunyin out of harms way, while focusing all the animosity on himself.
Kid, you seem to enjoy playing the hero, huh? Fond of this mute girl?
The man glanced at the two of them, suddenly smiling ambiguously and mockingly.
Had your fun yet? A few years ago, we even wanted to take this little girl to the nightclub.
With that statement, he effectively cut off any possibility of a peaceful negotiation.
d.a.m.n it, Yu Luoyin cursed coldly, his expression devoid of emotion, followed by a hard punch from his knuckles.
Not bad, kid, youve got some guts.
The man took a punch to the face, and seeing the young man still protecting Bai Xunyin even after being hit, he picked up a stick from the ground, eyeing them warily. His gaze turned completely cold.
Ive been on the streets for so many years, and Ive never encountered brats like you before. You dare embarra.s.s me?
The man waved his hand, signaling the other two to join.
He sneered, I dont want your money today. I need to teach you well a d.a.m.n lesson. Today, Ill make you kneel down and lick my shoes!
As soon as he finished speaking, the two tall and burly men behind him charged forward, instantly engaging in a fight with Yu Luoyin.
Bai Xunyins slender back leaned against the cold, hard wall. She felt like she was seeing Yu Luoyin and the debt collector fighting, but when she tried to focus more closely, Yu Luoyin seemed to blur into Bai Hongsheng.
It was as if an invisible, densely woven net descended, tightly enveloping every pore of Bai Xunyin, making even breathing feel laborious.
The scene in front of her overlapped with that afternoon from years ago: the rooftop, the chaos, the cold friction of metal against the ground
Yu Luoyins blood, Bai Hongshengs blood, almost impossible to distinguish whose is whose, mixed into a mess.
Bai Xunyin clearly felt her body sinking, growing cold, almost numb from head to fingertips. Her eyes, trembling along with the four people before her, were mechanical, unable to even stand up.
Youre d.a.m.n tough!
Liu Yiba spat blood, watching the young man who had already been forced to the edge of the rooftopYu Luoyins pristine school uniform now marred with many bloodstains, his own, theirs, almost in a sorry state.
But the eyes beneath the young mans jet-black, tousled hair were cold as ice, like a defiant lone wolf.
Though outnumbered three to one, they were not without their own struggles.
But whats the matter?
Yu Luoyin had already been driven to a dead end by them, with the abyss just behind him beyond the railing of the rooftop.
What could he do?
Run? Fight? Arent you going to keep going?
The man sneered, striding over and grabbing Yu Luoyins hair, forcing him to kneel and pressing his head against his own abdomen!
Yu Luoyin groaned in pain, stubbornly refusing to make a sound, his finely chiseled jawline clenched tightly.
Where the h.e.l.l can you run? Jump down like her old man?!
The three men maneuvered Yu Luoyin, pressing him against the edge of the rooftop, with the abyss below.
Liu Yiba forced Yu Luoyin to turn his head, locking eyes with the vacant-eyed girl in the corner. He grinned maliciously, his voice echoing through the empty rooftop in the dead of night
This b.i.t.c.hs d.a.m.n old man owes me hundreds of thousands! I lent him the d.a.m.n money! If he jumps off a building, am I supposed to lose it all? Dream on!
She wants to ace the exams? Make something of herself? Study without money, repay without money? Dream on!
I have no money, so n.o.body can live a good life! Bai Xunyin, Im asking you, will you repay the money your old man owes?
Liu Yibas eyes were bloodshot, his injured hand clutching Yu Luoyins throat, exerting force until bloodstains were left on the young mans white and slender neck, spreading onto his school uniform
He hysterically demanded, If you dont pay, well all die together! Ill throw this b.a.s.t.a.r.d off the building, and let your mother accompany your old man to become a vegetable! Will you repay the money or not?!
The same rooftop, the same nightmare repeating once again.
But this time, the protagonist changed from Bai Hongsheng to Yu Luoyin, yet the agony raging in his heart remained the same.
No! No! I will repay the money!
Bai Xunyin desperately tried to scream, but she couldnt scream like she did years ago. All she could do was shake her head incessantly.
The girl, fueled by some unknown strength, barely managed to grasp the railing beside her and stood up.
In the biting cold wind, her slender figure was as fragile as a delicate silk wing, step by step trying to approach them.
She saw Yu Luoyins eyes were teary, as if he wanted to speak, but the mans large hand on his throat prevented him from uttering a word.
Yu Luoyin could only shake his head gently at her, as if telling her not to come closer.
Oh, I forgot youre mute. You cant speak, and your family doesnt have money to repay. The house was sold, and were still renting this rundown place. So, what should we do? Im really angry
Liu Yiba looked at Bai Xunyins frail and helpless appearance, as if realizing that they were doomed to never receive the owed money.
He muttered nervously, Maybe youre just better off dead.
As soon as he finished speaking, the large hand clasping Yu Luoyins neck loosened, and the young mans body immediately leaned towards the edge of the rooftop, seemingly about to fall.
The same nightmare recurred once again, and Bai Xunyins pupils contracted sharply.
The girl felt as if blood was splattering all around her again, and it seemed like some valve in her body had been turned, causing her to uncontrollably scream out:
No!!!
