Chapter 128
For soone who had long relied solely on willpower to endure her heat cycles, the fire of desire burning inside her body would not so quickly make her lose her senses.
Her original plan had been to take advantage of the arrival of her heat, to go with the flow, and have Zhong Ning and her simply do it.
How could anyone see a delicate, soft oga imrsed in desire, so alluring and tempting, yet not lay a hand on her?
Zhong Ning’s reaction once again upset her calculations; she had not acted according to her expectations at all.
But she had suffered so many setbacks with this person that Xie Shiqing even felt a strange sense of inevitability about it.
No wonder she was her most beloved Ning Ning — always so different, always beyond her grasp.
She could read and manipulate the hearts of everyone else, but Zhong Ning was the sole exception.
Zhong Ning was always that exception.
Her judgnt had been wrong; relying solely on the heat period could not make Zhong Ning get closer to her. The strategy guide was completely wrong — all that nonsense about how once an oga lay down, an alpha would pounce like a wolf or tiger — it had absolutely no reference value.
Since the strategy guide had failed, she could only follow her own ideas.
Zhong Ning was always soft-hearted, and she happened to possess the perfect weapon, didn’t she?
Xie Shiqing cried, wailed, collapsed like a puddle of mud, feigning a ntal breakdown. As expected, she got exactly what she wanted.
She received comfort, she received promises, and naturally, she also received a marking.
In this “ga,” Xie Shiqing had already understood that Zhong Ning was soone who responded to softness, not force.
If you showed her your weak side, you could gain her pity, her careful gentleness, and her respect. But if you tried to manipulate her with a hard edge, all you would get was her most decisive and rciless side.
How lucky she was to have the perfect conditions to pretend to be fragile.
She truly was a patient — sick in body and sick in mind — perfectly so.
If she did not fit the definition of weak, then no one in this world did.
Xie Shiqing slept peacefully, and in Zhong Ning’s arms, she drafted her future plans of action, studying how to peel back those past scars, one by one, and present them before Zhong Ning.
She would show her the pitiful childhood she had lived, then show her the sches she had suffered after the car accident… My god, there was so much she could say.
She slept in joy and woke in happiness.
When she woke up, however, she found that the one keeping watch by her side was not Zhong Ning, but the butler.
Zhong Ning had gone to class — fine then.
Xie Shiqing plugged in her phone to charge, turned it on, and began sending apologetic ssages.
A sensitive, overthinking person, soone pitiful whose heart had suffered trauma — when discovering that she had once again made a mistake the night before, her first reaction would naturally be panic and unease.
[Ning Ning, I… I don’t even know what happened last night. The heat ca on so suddenly, I couldn’t think, I just wanted to get closer to you, a little closer, and then a little more… I…]
[Would you think I’m disgusting? To do sothing like that — I didn’t want to, but I just couldn’t control myself. I’m sorry, Ning Ning. Did I scare you?]
[Ning Ning, you were right to push away. I didn’t want to force you to do sothing you don’t like under those circumstances either. We should be the masters of our bodies, not slaves to our desires. I completely support your way of thinking, it’s just… at that mont, my mind was filled with you… Saying more feels like I’m deliberately making excuses. I just want to apologize. I’m sorry, Ning Ning, I’m sorry.]
[Last night I lost control again, it was entirely my fault. My thoughts at the ti were strange and stubborn, and I troubled you into comforting . I really… I really don’t know what to say.]
[Ning Ning, you’re always so good to . Actually, you don’t have to take care of , it really doesn’t matter. When my illness acts up, I always beco extre and easily say things that put others in a difficult position. I can’t say that I’ve never had those thoughts, but they are only one-sided, not the whole of what’s in my heart.]
[Next ti, don’t take care of anymore. Just lock in the room, and by the next day, I’ll be fine, really… It’s always like this, and it drags you into staying up late. I feel terrible about it and don’t want to burden you or cause you trouble because of my issues.]
[The butler has already co by and brought breakfast. I’ve eaten obediently and also used the tranquilizer. Ning Ning, are you still in class?]
[...About the sheets and mattress that got dirty yesterday, I had soone replace them with new ones. Once again, I apologize. I’m sorry.]
[Ning Ning, can you… can you give so kind of reply? Anything is fine, my heart feels so unsettled.]
[I really know I was wrong about what happened yesterday. It was my fault. Ning Ning, could you say sothing, please?]
…
Xie Shiqing sent a ssage every so often, repeatedly apologizing, saying she had done wrong. Zhong Ning was reading a book and hadn’t looked at her phone, so she never replied. Xie Shiqing then took every single thing she had done the previous night and singled them out one by one, scolding herself for each, saying she shouldn’t have done them, then pleading and begging for Zhong Ning’s forgiveness.
She wasn’t sure if there were caras in the room, but there was a high chance there were, so not long after waking, she had soone clean up the ss on the bed, then went back upstairs.
Her skin was delicate and easily marked, so any injury looked more serious than it was. Most of the ti this was an advantage, but when she cried, if her eyes swelled too much, it didn’t look good.
Xie Shiqing went upstairs to put an eye mask on. As she applied it, she sent ssages — and since she was blind, she could send them without looking at her phone, without delaying either task.
The tranquilizer cultivated from Zhong Ning’s pheromones carried the sa polo blossom scent. It didn’t need to be injected — just twisting open the bottle and letting the scent naturally spread gave the body the illusion of already being marked, and the heat period would naturally fade away.
She lay back in a recliner, two white gel patches covering her eyes, and instructed the butler, “Plant a few polo trees in the garden too.”
It had been a scent she had never cared for before, but after falling for Zhong Ning, it seed to have gradually beco her favorite.
After sending another ssage, Xie Shiqing put down her phone, let out a small yawn, and closed her eyes. Heat periods were like this — most ogas would feel weak and drowsy, and she was no exception.
