Heart in a Jade Pot

Chapter 9

Scorching And Freezing was curled up in a corner. His left cheek was wrapped in layers of bandages. Bing Qing could not see his expression clearly from her angle, but she could tell that Scorching And Freezing was scared and helpless from his trembling body.

It must be that damned gorilla!

Bing Qing did not care if it was rude or not. She pulled open the window from the outside, took off her shoes, and climbed in. She walked to Scorching And Freezing and knelt down in front of him.

This was the first time Bing Qing had seen Scorching And Freezing cry. Although he had been injured during training before, he had never cried in front of Bing Qing because of injuries.

His face was covered with tears. He hugged his curled up legs and sobbed softly. He was like a lost child who could not find his way home.

Looking at Scorching And Freezing, Bing Qing felt like her heart had been smashed by a blunt object. She raised her hand and gently stroked his soft hair.

Every time Bing Qing cried, her mother would comfort her like this. Then, she would not feel like crying anymore. She did not know if this would work on Scorching And Freezing.

In fact, when Bing Qing knocked on the window for the first time, Scorching And Freezing had heard it. However, he did not want Bing Qing to see him like this. She would be very worried. In the end, however, Bing Qing still came in. When she stroked his hair, Scorching And Freezing remembered that his mother was like this too. She gently stroked his hair when he cried and gently comforted him.

His mother … Scorching And Freezing lowered his head and buried his face in his knees. He cried even harder than before.

When Bing Qing saw that she had made a fool of herself, she wanted to chop her hand off. She panicked and asked, "Scorching And Freezing, what happened?

Is it that gorilla?

Damn it! "

If it was any other day, Scorching And Freezing might have been amused by her, but today he … Scorching And Freezing buried his head even lower, unwilling to let anyone see his crying face. He felt a sharp pain in his left chest, and this pain was still spreading to the rest of his body. Even his internal organs were hurting so much that he almost couldn't breathe. He couldn't control the trembling of his body, and could only let the tears continue to flow from his eyes …

Such a helpless Scorching And Freezing made Bing Qing's heart ache. Plus, she was about to leave soon, and she might never see Scorching And Freezing again in the future. All kinds of emotions intertwined with each other. She sniffled and cried. Her good friend was in so much pain, but she couldn't do anything about it. Since he didn't want to talk about it, then at least let her cry with him.

Bing Qing reached out her arms and carefully wrapped them around his trembling body. Her actions were so gentle that it was as if she was handling the most precious and fragile object in the world.

She pressed her face against Scorching And Freezing's hair and rubbed her cheek against it, just like two little animals hugging each other for warmth.

Scorching And Freezing, who was hugged by Bing Qing, froze. He felt a warm liquid dripping down his neck. Bing Qing's sobs entered his ears. Her arms were trembling slightly, and so was her body.

"Scorching And Freezing … If you don't want to talk … then I won't ask. Don't be afraid, I'm here … I'll stay with you …" Her voice was intermittent, and there was a heavy nasal sound. However, to Scorching And Freezing, it was as effective as a tranquilizer.

He adjusted his position and knelt on the ground like Bing Qing. He wrapped his arms around her waist and buried his face in her shoulder. His body was no longer trembling like before, and his breathing gradually calmed down.

Feeling the change in Scorching And Freezing, Bing Qing stopped crying as well. She tightened her arms around him and hugged him even tighter.

Scorching And Freezing also tightened his arms around her waist. He raised his head and rested his chin on Bing Qing's shoulder.

After a long time, Scorching And Freezing said in a very soft voice, "Mom … She said the left side of my body was so ugly that it was unbearable to look at … So she poured boiling water on my head …" His voice was hoarse from crying for a long time. Every word was like a sharp arrow that pierced Bing Qing's heart.

How … Auntie is such a gentle person … Why?

Why did this happen?

Her heart hurt, but this pain was not even one ten-thousandth of what Scorching And Freezing was experiencing … Moreover, he was injured, and boiling water was poured on his body … Bing Qing did not even dare to imagine such a thing …

But … Now was not the time to find out the reason. However, what could she say to comfort him? At this time, anything she said would be useless.

Bing Qing opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word.

The tears that she tried so hard to hold back flowed uncontrollably again. Bing Qing bit her lower lip hard to stop herself from crying out loud …

"… It's all my fault. It's all because of my mom that she's in so much pain. If it wasn't for me, she wouldn't have been sent to the hospital by that person …" Scorching And Freezing said to himself. His tone was full of self-blame and guilt.

How could he push all the blame onto himself? Scorching And Freezing was not wrong. The one at fault was that bearded uncle. All of this was caused by him. It was all because of him that Auntie was forced to this point. It was all because of him that Auntie was in so much pain … But Scorching And Freezing thought that it was his fault …

Bing Qing let go of Scorching And Freezing's hand and gently put some distance between the two of them. Looking at his right eye that was red and swollen from crying, she said, "Scorching And Freezing, this is not your fault. You … Don't blame yourself so much …" She stopped halfway through her sentence. Bing Qing really did not know what to say.

"No … It's all because of me … It's all because of me …" His pupils lost focus, and he repeated the sentence in a daze.

Bing Qing clamped his shoulders forcefully, forcing him to look at her. She said firmly, "Bombardment Scorch!

Don't push all the blame onto yourself!

If I say you're not wrong, then you're not wrong!

Do you hear me?! "

She unconsciously raised her voice. It was the first time Bing Qing had spoken so loudly and with such a strong tone to Scorching And Freezing.

Scorching And Freezing was pulled back by her voice, and his eyes returned to normal. He opened his mouth as if it was a lifetime ago and said, "But …"

But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Bing Qing. She said in her usual voice, "No buts … Although I don't know why Auntie did this, but … If you continue to blame yourself like this, I believe Auntie will be even more worried when she finds out …"

"Does Mom hate me because … because the left side of my face looks like that person …" Scorching And Freezing turned his face to the side and muttered.

Bing Qing shook her head and raised her right hand to touch Scorching And Freezing's left cheek. She said softly, "Auntie hates that bearded uncle … Not you … And you don't look like him at all. It's just that … It's just that your hair and eyes are the same color … You don't look like him at all …"

"Really?

I … I hate the left side of my face. Just like Mom said, the left side of my body is so ugly that it's unbearable to look at … "He lowered his head, not wanting Bing Qing to see his face.

Bing Qing suddenly felt that her hand had lost its strength. It slid down Scorching And Freezing's face. In the next second, as if she was possessed, she leaned forward and left a kiss on Scorching And Freezing's left cheek. Then, she hugged him and said softly, "It's not like that.

Scorching And Freezing is the best-looking boy I've ever seen. The left side of your face isn't ugly at all. Don't hate yourself just because you hate that person … You're gentle and kind. You don't look like him at all … Bombardment Scorch is Bombardment Scorch. He's the one and only existence in this world. "

Scorching And Freezing could still feel the touch of her lips on his cheek … When she spoke, her hot breath entered his ear. Scorching And Freezing felt as if his face was on fire … She said that the left side of his face wasn't ugly at all … She said that he was the one and only existence in this world.

All this time, Scorching And Freezing knew that he was just a tool that his father used to defeat Ormet. However, Bing Qing said that he was him, so he was him …

He subconsciously wrapped his arms around her waist and nodded forcefully. He moved his head closer to Bing Qing. The fragrance of her shampoo lingered on her hair, and it smelled like a sweet strawberry. It calmed his unsettled heart.

The two of them stayed in this position for a long time. Bing Qing felt that her legs were a little numb … She asked tentatively, "Scorching And Freezing … Are you asleep?"

"No …"

Scorching And Freezing let go of her waist. The two of them were too embarrassed to look at each other after they separated, especially Bing Qing … She felt as if she had taken advantage of Scorching And Freezing … But in this situation, she couldn't care less. Bing Qing just wanted to let Scorching And Freezing know that the left side of his face wasn't ugly at all. Only then would she kiss it … She lowered her head and looked at her knees. For a moment, she didn't know what to do.

"Bing Qing, will you always be with me?" Scorching And Freezing asked after a long silence.

She suddenly raised her head and met his gray eyes. His eyes were filled with anticipation. Bing Qing didn't dare to look into his eyes. She looked away and said with a gloomy expression, "Why … Why are you suddenly asking this?"

Scorching And Freezing pulled her hand over and placed Bing Qing's palm on his left chest. He whispered, "Because … If you're here … It doesn't hurt so much …"

His words made Bing Qing's body tremble. She felt as if all the blood in her body was flowing backward. Her lips were a little numb, and a sour feeling began to spread from her left heart. Her eyelashes trembled slightly. She pursed her lips and turned her head to look directly at him. "Scorching And Freezing … I …"

No, she couldn't say it. If she told him that she was leaving tomorrow, Scorching And Freezing … How sad and reluctant would he be … I'm sorry … I'm sorry … If only I could be braver and tell you this earlier. I'm sorry, I'm too cowardly … I'm too selfish … I don't ask for your forgiveness in the future, but … Please allow me to lie to you once. This is the first time … and also the last time …

"Of course, I will always be by your side. We will be good friends forever." Bing Qing smiled gently at him, trying to hide her guilt …

.....

When Bing Qing left, Scorching And Freezing told her that he would see her tomorrow. She really wanted to bang her head against the wall and die … Halfway through, she realized that the letter was still in her shirt pocket. Bing Qing turned back, but she really didn't have the face to go outside Scorching And Freezing's room. So, she put the letter in the mailbox at the door of the Hong Family's house.

She thought that if someone saw the letter, they could help her pass it to him. On the envelope, only the words "To Bombardment Scorch" were written. There was no sender or stamp.

She went back home dejectedly. She walked straight into her room and lay on her bed. She pressed a pillow against her head and cried until the world was dark.

Bing Qing felt that she was a super big jerk … A big idiot that couldn't be saved … She lay on her bed and slept the whole night. When she woke up the next day, her eyes were swollen like two walnuts. Because she slept on her stomach, she felt sore all over her body …

Since her father wasn't going to sell the house, the furniture was left untouched at home. They only had to take a few pieces of luggage with them. They chose to mail the rest of the things.

She woke up in a daze, washed up, and ate breakfast. Her mother led her all the way to the car. Bing Qing still looked like she had lost her soul. Her eyes were empty, and no one knew what she was thinking.

The Yeh family couple looked at their daughter with heartache. Bing Qing tasted the bitterness of parting for the first time. She felt even more guilty … She felt that Scorching And Freezing must hate her to death … He would never forgive her for the rest of his life.

Bing Qing sighed for the umpteenth time. She covered her head with both hands, and her face was gloomy. This lasted until she arrived in the United States. After they got off the plane, they were brought to a three-story bungalow by the people who were sent to pick them up. This was the future home of Bing Qing, but this home only felt unfamiliar to her. It didn't feel like home at all … She still preferred the house in Japan.

She locked herself in her room and didn't eat or drink for the whole day. She maintained the posture of curling up on the bed without moving. Ayano was so scared that she cried. She grabbed her husband's collar and said that she wouldn't have come to the United States if she knew this would happen. Look at how she tortured her precious daughter. Papa Ye was also full of regret … But there was no medicine for regret in this world …

Later, under her mother's patient persuasion, Bing Qing finally recovered a little. She told her mother about what happened at the Yeh family. Ayano was so angry that she wanted to go back and beat Andwar up. She wanted to hang him on the roof and whip him. Hnan tried his best to calm his wife down …

.....

Japan, Yeh family. Andwar found a letter addressed to his youngest son in the mailbox. There was only a recipient. There was no sender's name on the envelope, and there was no stamp on it. At first glance, it was obvious that someone put it in by themselves.

Judging from the handwriting, the person who wrote it was very young. The handwriting was crooked, and his son's name was written wrongly … The word 'scorched' was missing a stroke …

Although he didn't know who wrote it, it was a critical period for Scorching And Freezing now. He didn't want any external factors to disturb his son.

He opened the envelope roughly and saw the eye-catching signature. It was Ye Bingqing.

Isn't this Ayano Shimizu's daughter?

She only met Scorching And Freezing once. Why would she write a letter to him?

The content of the letter made him increase the strength in his hands. The poor letter was crumpled, and Andwa directly burned the letter with his flame "personality".

No wonder Scorching And Freezing had been staying in his room for the past few months. He was always distracted during training. It turned out that it was all Ayano Shimizu's daughter's doing. Fortunately, she moved away. Such a person would only be an obstacle to Scorching And Freezing. His son had a mission to become Ormet. He didn't have time to play house with her.
