Chapter 23
The first time a villain has been resurrected (23)
After the initial shock, Lin Mo regained his senses, looked at Jiang Qinfeng, and calmed down.
He asked, "Brother Qin Feng, in what capacity are you making this request to me?"
Jiang Qinfeng was taken aback.
Only then did he realize what he had said.
He was the one who pushed this person away before, so why did he say such things when he learned about Lin Mo and Gu Xun's relationship and that Lin Mo planned to confront his family about their relationship?
It's like... being afraid that the person in front of you will be taken away...
What happened to repaying the debt of gratitude? What happened to not interfering?
Jiang Qinfeng's thoughts were in turmoil again. He sat up, no longer restraining Lin Mo, his face somewhat pale.
"Gu Xun and I are together because Gu Xun also has feelings for me."
Lin Mo sat up, leaned against the headboard, grabbed the cigarette pack and lighter from the bedside table, lit a cigarette, and said in a deep voice, "But you don't like me, so why should I throw myself at you?"
"Since you think what happened three years ago was an accident, then I don't need to hold on to it anymore."
"Also, I think Brother Qin Feng, you are actually..." Lin Mo smiled at him, "quite contradictory."
"While saying you can't remember, you were on edge and couldn't control yourself when I hugged you."
And this morning he clearly wanted to settle things with me, but just now, after seeing those traces, he became so angry.
They even made the ridiculous suggestion of replacing Gu Xun in helping me.
Don't you think you look ugly?
Each sentence pierced Jiang Qinfeng's heart and lungs, causing him unbearable chest pain and making his face even paler.
"I..." Jiang Qinfeng clenched his fist, and memories of the past flashed through his mind.
There are those involving him and Lin Mo, and those involving Lin Mo and Gu Xun.
The two people walked side by side on the road, while he followed behind Lin Mo like a shadow.
It has absolutely no presence.
I don't know when it started, but I started to find Gu Xun an eyesore.
But the soreness in my chest couldn't be hidden.
Memories from three years ago resurfaced.
The details that his brain had selectively forgotten because he knew he had made mistakes gradually became clear.
That party was filled with many spoiled brats who spoke recklessly.
They teased Lin Mo.
Ask him if he likes Gu Xun? Otherwise, why are the two of them always hanging out together?
Gu Xun is known in the industry for his volatile and domineering temper.
She only shows her gentle side in front of Lin Mo.
They said that if they really got together, none of these people would find it strange, and they would even give them big gifts.
Lin Mo simply smiled and brushed it off. He neither said yes nor no.
Jiang Qinfeng witnessed this entire scene and later drank the spiked wine.
Taking advantage of the drug's effects, or perhaps wanting to prove something, or plunder something, he took Lin Mo...
My breathing became too heavy.
Jiang Qinfeng didn't continue speaking, but turned around and went to the desk by the bed to get a pen.
He pulled off the pen cap, revealing the gleaming tip. He gripped it tightly with his left hand, exerted force, and with a hiss, stabbed it hard into his right hand from his palm. The tip, sticky with flesh, peeked out from the back of his hand!
"Are you crazy?!" Lin Mo exclaimed in shock.
She hurriedly got out of bed, snatched Jiang Qinfeng's hand that had been pierced by a pen, and her lower eyelids quickly turned red.
"I'll go get the first-aid kit!"
But Jiang Qinfeng stopped him.
The next moment, this man, who was usually tall and domineering, knelt down beside him with a thud, his forehead covered in cold sweat from the pain, and his lips were deathly pale.
Fortunately, the pain in my hand finally overshadowed the pain in my heart.
This allowed him to confess his feelings to Lin Mo.
"What happened three years ago was due to my jealousy..."
Bright red blood dripped onto the floor, one drop after another, making Lin Mo's heart tremble.
"Whatever it is, you need to treat your wound first!" He tried to shake off Jiang Qinfeng: "Take care of it first, then we'll go to the hospital!"
But Jiang Qinfeng's left hand was like an iron claw, its rough, hard knuckles gripping Lin Mo's wrist tightly, making it impossible for him to escape.
"That night, I did it on purpose..."
“I heard them joking about you and Gu Xun, and I thought it was possible that you and Gu Xun might get together.”
And all I can do is watch your backs forever, protecting you..."
"I don't know why, but..." Jiang Qinfeng's voice was usually cold and calm, but at this moment it was as if a stone was stuck in his throat, making his words sound slightly hoarse and choked.
"It's so uncomfortable..."
Lin Mo stood there, stunned.
It was as if they couldn't believe what they were hearing.
He looked down at the man kneeling before him.
The once straight back was now bent as if weighed down by a heavy burden, making it look somewhat pitiful.
“You are all young masters, while I am just an outsider who has come to repay the kindness of your parents.”
“You are of equal status, and you have known him longer than I have.”
“You have a lot to talk about.”
"You confide everything to him..."
"I didn't know I was jealous back then... that's why I hurt you..."
“I’m a beast…” Jiang Qinfeng’s sharp features softened as he said, “Later, I escaped reality, chose to forget those things, and then arrogantly pushed you away. That’s enough to prove that I really am, as you say, a complete coward…”
"I know that I am not worthy of liking you."
“But…” He looked up, his eagle-like eyes fixed intently on Lin Mo, as if summoning all his courage. His jaw muscles tightened for a moment before he said, “I still don’t want to give you to anyone else!”
"Gu Xun won't do, Miss Zhao won't do, and none of the women Madam introduces to you in the future will do! And any man you want to meet yourself will be even worse!"
"I know I have no right to do this, nor the ability to do it, but I still want to try!" Jiang Qinfeng's words were firm and resolute.
"I have wronged Master and Madam! So I will bear their anger! I will tell them what I did to you, and my determination that I do not want to give you to anyone else!"
This time, Lin Mo was completely stunned.
The stench of blood in the room intensified, filling Lin Mo's nostrils and making him realize that what he had just heard was not a dream.
From Jiang Qinfeng hurting him to him kneeling down, to the words he said, Lin Mo was stunned.
All those past worries, anxieties, and struggles seemed to quietly dissipate with the man's confession and promises, word by word.
After a long while, he finally turned his face away.
Stray hairs lay flat against her temples, concealing the dampness.
"Get up first."
Lin Mo pursed her lips and helped him up with one hand: "Let's go to the hospital."
Jiang Qinfeng then stood up, his right hand waving, blood staining his chest and thighs.
But he didn't utter a single cry of pain, acting as if he wasn't injured at all.
She whispered to Lin Mo again, "I'm sorry..."
Lin Mo was still a little angry, but she silently wiped the blood off Jiang Qinfeng's body and helped him put on his clothes.
When it came time to put on his pants, Jiang Qinfeng wanted to do it himself, but Lin Mo insisted and bent down to put them on for him.
Jiang Qinfeng felt unusually embarrassed and unconsciously shrank his feet.
As Lin Mo stood up, she quietly wiped her face with her sleeve, turned her back to the man, and said in a hoarse voice.
"I won't forgive you so easily."
Jiang Qinfeng had already anticipated this answer, and was about to speak when he heard Lin Mo say something else.
"However, I'm willing to give you a chance to make amends."
"What opportunity?"
"From today onwards, we will start anew as ordinary lovers."
"Are you willing?"
Jiang Qinfeng looked at Lin Mo in astonishment.
He could only see the other person's soft, white neck, and compared to him, Lin Mo's thin shoulders made his heart ache.
He nodded and replied earnestly, "I'm willing..."

Meanwhile, Yu Tang washed away her fatigue, wrapped herself in a bath towel, and came out of the bathroom with a towel covering her head.
"Ah Sheng, I'm done washing up," he called out to Wei Mosheng, who was still at the table looking at documents on his computer.
