BXBX NOVEL Chapter 509 - Meeting Again
She stretched her hand towards him, which Lu Bojing immediately caught on to. Frightened, alarmed and defensive - he pressed her wrist.
"Ah, ah, ahhhh! Leave, leave, leave my hand!"
Lu Bojing widened his eyes and as he finally saw her clearly, he hastily let go of her hand. Guilt washed over him, and he burst into tears. "I-I-I am really sorry…I didn\'t mean to h-hurt you…"
The girl rubbed her wrist in pain and at first, she wanted to lash out, but seeing his crying and helpless face, the words couldn\'t come out.
"You can slap me as r-revenge. I hurt you, s-so you hurt me now…"
"..."
Her mouth twitched. "...No thanks," then she mumbled, "I cannot believe you forgot about me. Am I ugly?"
Lu Bojing shook his head. "You aren\'t, and I didn\'t forget you. I-I was thinking about something else, so I couldn\'t recognize you…I am sorry. I am really sorry. I am useless…"
She was dumbfounded again.
"I-It\'s okay. I didn\'t mean it that way."
Saying that you are useless is too harsh.
Lu Bojing glanced at the slight redness of her wrist, and the tears poured out like a storm. "Please hit me. I am horrible! H-How could I do this to you? I am really sorry! It became red because of me," he sniffled.
"..."
"You…cry so much. Don\'t you ever get dehydrated?"
He wiped his eyes and said, "I am a doctor. I know it\'s very important to drink lots of water. So, I drink lots of water."
"..."
She didn\'t know what to say to this. To her surprise, Lu Bojing took her hand and gently rubbed his thumb along the red bruise.
The girl was shocked. "Is it really a man\'s hand? Damn, your skin is so smooth like a woman\'s! And your fingers look so delicate…"
Then she recalled the burly man and her hand.
"But the strength in them is no joke at all…You are so average build and slim. How do you have so much strength? Tell me. What do you eat!"
Lu Bojing concentrated on her bruise, and she obediently shut her mouth. He pressed a point and asked, "Does it feel b-better?"
"Yes…" she was amazed now. "It feels less painful."
He cried. "Thank God. I wouldn\'t have been able to forgive myself otherwise…"
Then he took out something from his pocket. It was a small bottle of balm.
The girl coughed. "You keep balm handy in your pocket?"
He nodded. He took some of it and applied it on the redness. "Do this again after a few hours, and it will be alright…"
He let go of her hand after the small treatment was over, and she lamented.
His skin was really soft…
"H-How did you end up here?"
She snapped from her daze, and her expression turned grim. "Well the debt collectors kidnapped me…"
He blinked. "The money from my credit card wasn\'t enough?"
The girl pursed her lips. "I didn\'t use it."
"Why not?"
She puffed up her cheeks. "How could I use your money like that? I mean, it\'s your money!"
"But I gave it to you."
"Which is a matter of deep concern," she dryly said, "Do you just hand out your super cool cards to everybody you meet?"
"No."
"Then how can you just give it to me?"
He pursed his lips. "Because you needed it."
"There are a lot of people who need a lot of money in this world. Are you so charitable to help everybody in need? Is it even possible? What if I was lying and was a bad person? You would have been fooled."
Lu Bojing hesitated but said nothing in the end.
"B-But you should have used it…I had no use of that money. If you didn\'t use it, then how did you pay your debt?"
"I didn\'t," the girl took a card out of her secret pocket. "I didn\'t want the goons to have this card when they nabbed me. They would have stolen all your money! Here. Take your card back."
Lu Bojing widened his eyes. "Y-you still have it?"
She was speechless. "What do you think money is? Even if I didn\'t use it, I couldn\'t just throw millions of money in the trash."
Lu Bojing stared at it. He didn\'t know what to think about it. "Please keep it with you…"
She sighed. "Look, I understand your sincerity in helping me. But I cannot keep it. It\'s not like I am some goody two shoes, but there are certain things I cannot accept."
"H-huh? It\'s not about your principles…"
She blinked. "So?"
"I already got another card from my Boss," Lu Bojing obediently took out his shiny black card and showed it to her. "I don\'t need it because I have another one."
The girl puked blood. She stared at him in disbelief.
Here I am killing myself every single day to earn money for my debt, and he this man got another card with millions in it?
"Y-you…Just who is your Boss!? Who are you working for? Is his house made up of gold!?"
Lu Bojing seriously said, "It\'s normal rock and cement…"
"..."
"It was a sarcastic question!"
Lu Bojing trembled and burst into tears again. "I-I am really sorry. I don\'t understand sarcasm that well. Sorry for being like this…"
She had an urge to pinch his cheeks hard.
"S-So they kidnapped you…"
"Yes," she cleared her throat. "I don\'t know what they can possibly do by kidnapping me. I really don\'t have any money! And I am not counting yours!"
Lu Bojing was horrified. "W-What do you mean what they can possibly do to you? T-these are bad men. Really bad men. They want their money back at any cost. If you cannot do it, then they will take it by using your body.. Either they will take out your organs and sell them in the blackmarket or sell you to some rich client as a prostitute."
