Liang Shi hesitated for a few seconds before replying, "It's even harder to bear than when I was first in my fertile period. Back then, it was just a physical desire, so I could suppress it by hurting myself. But today, it's a double pressure, both psychological and physical, especially the psychological one. It feels like I'll die if I don't force myself on her. It feels like there are ants biting my body. I desperately want to be with her..."
At this point, Liang Shi lowered his head and sighed, covering his face with his hands, "I'm sorry, I deserve to die."
She had no control over this body at all.
Zhao Xuning looked at her with a calm expression, "Anything else? Are there any other feelings? Are you experiencing more physical desire or psychological pressure?"
“Psychological.” Liang Shi recalled his feelings at the time, trying his best to describe them in words. “I was very restless at the time. I just wanted to have a relationship with someone and wanted to get more. The images that passed through my mind were very brutal, about sex.”
She spoke in a very veiled way, but Zhao Xuning managed to understand her.
Zhao Xuning only asked her, "Haven't you fully taken control of this body yet?"
Liang Shi shook his head: "Not yet."
Her luck stat hasn't reached 80 yet, so she doesn't have full control over this body.
Therefore, when the original owner's anxious emotions and physical fear memories are combined, she will feel powerless.
“Then I regret to inform you of my guess,” Zhao Xuning said: “This body has a sex addiction.”
Liang Shi asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"
"It's a condition where people need to have sex to relieve their anxiety when they are feeling agitated," Zhao Xuning said. "From a psychological perspective, it's a manifestation of insecurity. They haven't found a suitable way to vent their emotions, so they choose to use sex to relieve them."
Liang Shi: "..."
Zhao Xuning looked at her, then suddenly curled his lips into a cold smile, "Do you still think you definitely won't hurt Xu Qingzhu?"
Liang Shi: "..."
She sighed, "I'm sorry."
“You didn’t force yourself on me,” Zhao Xuning said. “What good does it do to apologize to me? I’m not going to forgive you on behalf of someone else.”
Liang Shi: "...I am not a person who uses force."
Zhao Xuning raised an eyebrow: "So how did you get hospitalized?"
Liang Shi: "...I was wrong."
Zhao Xuning was amused by her and laughed, "Okay, are you hungry? Shall we go out to eat together?"
Liang Shi asked, "Where is Xu Qingzhu?"
"There's an electric shock outside..." Before Zhao Xuning could finish speaking, Xu Qingzhu's voice came from inside the ward. She was standing at the door, "I'm here."
Liang Shi's expression froze, and he didn't dare to look at her.
Zhao Xuning glanced at the atmosphere between the two and said tactfully, "You two talk first, I'll wait for you outside."
The ward suddenly became awkward without Zhao Xuning.
Liang Shi lay on the bed like a quail.
Xu Qingzhu walked in and kept watching her back.
After a long silence, Liang Shi said in a muffled voice, "I'm sorry."
She had just woken up; her voice was hoarse and sounded aggrieved.
Xu Qingzhu stood there, her clear, cold voice blending into the desolate night, "What?"
Liang Shi pursed her lips, curled up into a ball, and said again, "I'm sorry."
I simply don't dare to face it.
Having lived for twenty-five years, this is the first time I've experienced something like this.
Her calm and composed demeanor crumbled the moment the memories surfaced, and she felt like a beast.
If time could be turned back, she would definitely have strangled herself in that instant.
pity……
Now all she can do is run away like a quail.
Xu Qingzhu's cool voice betrayed no emotion, "So?"
"I don't know," Liang Shi said in a muffled voice. "I'll do whatever you want me to do."
She made a strong show of apologizing.
But Xu Qingzhu scoffed, "So you apologize to people by turning your back on them? Where's your manners?"
Liang Shi: "...politely ran away from home."
Xu Qingzhu was taken aback, and after a moment she heard Liang Shi say in a timid voice, "I'm sorry."
"..."
"My ears hurt from listening to this," Xu Qingzhu said. "This is the third time already."
Liang Shi said in a muffled voice, "I'm sorry."
Xu Qingzhu: "..."
After a moment of silence, Xu Qingzhu said, "I suspect you did this on purpose."
Liang Shi explained: "No."
"Can you apologize to me face to face?" Xu Qingzhu said, "That way I can decide whether to forgive you."
Liang Shi: "..."
After a long while, she stretched out her body, then turned over, burying half her head in the pillow, glancing down with her eyes, but refusing to look at Xu Qingzhu.
Xu Qingzhu immediately noticed her reddened eyes.
My heart softened involuntarily.
Xu Qingzhu crossed her arms and said, "You feel this guilty?"
"Yes." Liang Shi pursed his lips. "I'm really sorry."
If it was the original owner's mess, she would accept it.
But even though she was in control of this body at the time, she still almost hurt Xu Qingzhu.
If the bad luck system existed, it could definitely max out her bad luck value.
Xu Qingzhu was speechless for a moment, as she was genuinely a little angry.
But looking at her expression and eyes, it was as if she had suffered a great injustice, as if she were the one being forced.
Xu Qingzhu felt a mix of emotions.
She sighed softly.
Before she could speak, Liang Shi said, "You can do whatever you want. We can live apart or not. Anyway, I'm moving out of that villa soon. If you want to... you know, I can accommodate you."
The system wouldn't let her mention divorce, so she avoided the sensitive word.
How can the system's AI detect this?
However, some words, in specific contexts, can convey their meaning instantly even if unspoken.
So Xu Qingzhu retorted, "You want a divorce?"
Liang Shi nodded frantically.
Xu Qingzhu clicked her tongue. "Is this your ultimate goal?"
Liang Shi: "?"
"After all this trouble, it's just for a divorce." Xu Qingzhu said expressionlessly, "If you wanted a divorce, you should have said so earlier. Why go through all this trouble? It's not like I'm uncooperative."
Liang Shi's eyes widened. "No, it's just..."
She pursed her lips, met Xu Qingzhu's gaze, and weakened again, looking both aggrieved and timid: "I'm just afraid of hurting you again."
“You got my permission,” Xu Qingzhu said, “so it doesn’t count as harm.”
Liang Shi sat up abruptly and met her gaze. Her reddened eyes seemed to say, "Really?"
Xu Qingzhu shrugged indifferently. "Besides, you were the one who fainted in the end. And besides, weren't you sick?"
Liang Shi: "..."
It sounds like an insult, but it's the truth.
She said dejectedly, "But I really did love you..."
Xu Qingzhu suddenly chuckled, "Teacher Liang, are you acting?"
Liang Shi: "?"
"No!" Liang Shi denied, "I really feel guilty."
“Then your apology to me was insincere,” Xu Qingzhu said. “I reasonably suspect that you are using this as a tactic to advance your own interests.”
She clicked her tongue sarcastically, "I didn't expect that Teacher Liang's acting skills would improve so much after just one moment of unconsciousness. He's got the right feel for it now."
Liang Shi: "...?"
"What does it taste like?" Liang Shi asked.
Xu Qingzhu: "She has the flavor of green tea, using retreat as a means of advancement. She says she feels guilty but does nothing. She pretends to be wronged, as if she wants the whole world to see that she is the one who has been wronged."
"No," Liang Shi argued. "You're the one who's clearly the most wronged."
Xu Qingzhu raised an eyebrow: "Really? I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it."
Liang Shi: "..."
Xu Qingzhu calmly retorted, "So why are your eyes red? What are you feeling wronged about? The person who should feel wronged the most isn't, so why are you feeling wronged?"
Liang Shi: "..."
Liang Shi was rendered speechless.
After a long pause, she realized what she meant and tentatively asked, "Are you trying to comfort me in reverse?"
Xu Qingzhu glanced at her and said in a light tone, "Our Teacher Liang isn't stupid."
Liang Shi: "..."
Xu Qingzhu's sarcastic manner is really...
