My Unrivaled Princess: I Won’t Mess With You - Chapter 94
Luo Qianqian thought this boy must be terrified, for she knew what it was like to live a life being bullied every day.
She took a look at Lin Zimo and shook her head, signaling him to not question him further, she walked to the young man and said gently, “I know you have been through a lot, me too, I know that feeling. But we are good people here and we can protect you, would you like to tell us your name?”
The boy clenched his fists even harder, then he shook his head and answered, “Guangyao, I… my name is Guangyao.”
The boy had heavy accent, he wasn’t from the capital city.
Luo Qianqian was delighted that the boy finally started to talk, she coaxed, “Great, nice to meet you Guangyao, my name is Luo Qianqian, now do you want to unclench your fists and let me see whether your hands are all right?”
Guangyao stared at Luo Qianqian, he didn’t know what to do and he opened his hands after a little while, Luo Qianqian gasped, his palms were mutilated, the skin was split and the flesh broke forth.
Lin Zimo went to get ointments for him, and Luo Qianqian applied a thick layer of ointments on both of his hands.
Feng Qing didn’t appreciate the way the boy stared at Luo Qianqian, he offered, “Your Highness, please let me… …”, with that Feng Qing walked to them and that rendered Guangyao panicked, he sprang to his feet and wrapped his arms around his head, “Please don’t hit me, I will do whatever you say, please don’t hit me! Please don’t hit my mother! I’m begging you!”
Luo Qianqian’s heart was bleeding, she stopped Feng Qing, “It’s all right, I can take care of him.”
“But Your Highness, it is improper for men and women to have physical contact!” Feng Qing lowered his head, it looked like he had mustered up all his courage to say this to Luo Qianqian.
Feng Qing regretted that they had saved this young man, he didn’t know whether this young man was good or bad.
Luo Qianqian snorted, “Men and women? He is just a boy, all right? Feng Qing, did you keep a distance from your sisters and your mother when you were a boy?”
Feng Qing was choked.
Lin Zimo mediated, “Feng Qing, it’s all right, we are both here to protect Miss. Luo, I don’t think anything will happen to her.”
Lin Zimo was curious to find out who this boy was and what he was up to, the best way was to make him talk more, the more he spoke, the more they could know about him.
Luo Qianqian bent down and stroked Guangyao’s back as a comfort, “Guangyao, don’t be scared, let me apply this ointment for you.”
Guangyao calmed down amid Luo Qianqian’s gentle speaking, his facial expression was less crooked and he quit yelling and crying out for help.
Luo Qianqian smiled at him, and he revealed his hands, “I… …”
“There you go, just like that, give me your hands so I can apply this ointment on the wounds.” Luo Qianqian coaxed.
Guangyao’a voice quavered and tears gushed from his eyes, “Can I… can I call you sister?”
“Sister?”
“Yeah, you are like my elder sister.” Guangyao buried his head in his arms, revealing a pair of innocent eyes, “Don’t get me wrong, I’m not… I’m not calling you old, I just felt like I’ve known you for a long time, I hope you don’t mind… …” Guangyao floundered.
Luo Qianqian stroked his hair and said, “How great, you can be my little brother.”
Feng Qing’s face reddened, he didn’t like this Guangyao boy.
“Why are you in the capital city all by yourself? Where are the rest of your family?” Luo Qianqian asked.
Guangyao shook his head.
“You are the only one left in your family?”
Guangyao nodded.
“Do you have a place to stay?”
Guangyao shook his head in pain.
“How old are you?”
Guangyao raised his head and answered, “I’m… I’m fourteen.”
“That’s great, I AM older than you, of course you are my little brother.” Luo Qianqian grinned.
“Guangyao, I live with a big family, people will talk nonsense if I ask you to stay with me, would you like to stay with Doctor Lin for a while? Doctor Lin can protect you and take good care of you, me and Feng Qing will visit you as well, don’t worry.” Luo Qianqian pointed at Lin Zimo and asked Guangyao.
“But… but I want to stay at yours.” tears started to well up in Guangyao’s eyes.
Feng Qing chimed in before Luo Qianqian could answer, “No way!”
Luo Qianqian looked hesitant, “Guangyao, it’s indeed not proper for me to invite you to stay with me. Doctor Lin is a great person, he will take great care of you.”
Guangyao dared not to say anything in Feng Qing’s presence.
Lin Zimo gazed at Guangyao with probing intensity into his eyes, “You need to answer a few questions first, all right?”
Guangyao took a look at Luo Qianqian and nodded.
“Why would you have such strong Internal Chi? Why is your Internal Chi inhibited by some poison? Was it a coincidence that Luo Qianqian has saved you?”
Guangyao was overwhelmed by the questions, he looked quite lost.
Luo Qianqian’s eyes narrowed when she heard ‘Internal Chi’, “strong Internal Chi’!
And she was sure about the last question, it was a coincidence for sure, she rescued him on her initiative.
Guangyao didn’t want to upset Luo Qianqian but he wasn’t sure whether Luo Qianqian would still protect him once he talked about his past.
“Sister, please don’t get mad.” Guangyao cried.
“I’m not mad, Guangyao, just tell us the truth, I promise you everything is going to be fine.” Luo Qianqian comforted him.
“My family instilled the Internal Chi to me when I was younger, but some people poisoned me and they have been chasing after me and my mother. My mother died from protecting me, I have been hiding myself from place to place after that. I have no ulterior intentions on you or anyone, please trust me!” as Guangyao spoke his eyes brimmed with tears.
