Chapter 33.9 The Transformation of a Stalker (Intermediate)
The Transformation of a Stalker (Intermediate):
“Oh, wow, impressive! Another drink!”
“Just forget about that scum of a boyfriend already!”
“Yeah, yeah, forget him!”
“Cheers to getting over a breakup!”
“Oh! Cheers!”
“…Hoo…”
Another glass of alcohol was handed to me. I didn’t refuse and drank it down in one go. I wasn’t worried about what they might have put in it, because I was drinking freshly mixed drinks. I found this bar randomly, and the manager didn’t seem to have any particular connection with the man who brought me here.
So, I wasn’t particularly worried about being set up. Rather, if anything had been mixed in, I would have seen it even before drinking it.
I couldn’t remember which drink it was anymore, nor could I recall the name of the man who brought me here. Under the influence of alcohol, I was finally starting to forget some things…
But I couldn’t forget Juncheng at all… There was too much, my head was filled with things about Juncheng. Even if I forgot a part of it… it was only the superfluous parts, like scraps.
There was still an immense amount of Juncheng in my mind.
I cared too much about Juncheng. All this time, I’ve kept everything about him firmly in my memory. This has led me to the point where I can no longer forget him.
Thinking about Juncheng made my heart ache again, and tears started to well up.
The man in the hat took the opportunity to touch my shoulder. Although it was through my clothes, I frowned unpleasantly.
It was uncomfortable.
His hand was rough.
His fingertips had calluses from playing games for a long time, his palm had scars, and it was sticky and disgusting from sweat. It was a revolting hand.
I hated the feeling.
He just wanted to sleep with me, right?
Seeing me, a beautiful woman crying on the street, he got greedy and wanted to get me drunk and do something to me.
An obvious intention, the same old routine.
I felt a bit regretful, and a sense of relief.
It was regrettable that I didn’t meet a man as gentle as Juncheng. It was fortunate that the men I encountered were all lecherous perverts I found unacceptable.
If it were a gentle man, even a simple word of comfort, I would have uncontrollably thrown myself into his arms to temporarily mend the wound in my chest, even if I regretted it afterward…
And then, I would have completely given up on Juncheng, and the wounds would have gradually healed with the solace of time.
Fortunately, I met these vulgar men, which is why I could maintain my clarity…
Was Heaven telling me not to give up yet…?
*Sob sob sob*… Juncheng…
“Ugh, *gag noise*…”
I drank too much again and couldn’t help but vomit.
The man in the hat’s face lit up with joy. Perhaps he thought I had finally reached my limit.
What a pity~
I’m still sober, you know?
My stomach just can’t handle it anymore.
The man in the hat whispered something in my ear, but I couldn’t be bothered to listen. I just nodded casually, and he helped me up and led me out of the bar.
Is he taking me to a hotel? *Hoo*… Does he want to touch me? Not a chance!
Whenever he tried to touch me, I would pretend to lose my balance and lean in the other direction. *Hoo hoo*… Honestly~ what a fool~ He can’t even tell if I’m really drunk or not~ Idiot~
I deliberately acted like I was about to throw up again, and in his haste, he led me into a small alley.
“Hoo hoo…”
I leaned against the wall, tucked my hair behind my ear, and smiled hazily. The men swallowed and walked towards me… Oh dear, they couldn’t control themselves just from this…
“Hey, I’ll give you a chance, *hic*…”
Well, consider it payment for the drinks.
“As long as someone can swear that they will never touch another woman in this life, never lie to me, never hide anything from me, never betray me, never…”
I started listing them one by one, counting on my fingers. Before I could finish, the man in the hat let out a scoff and sneered at me, “Heh, Miss, you need to face reality. There’s no such thing as a non-flirtatious man in this world… Your boyfriend probably dumped you because he cheated, right? That’s just how men are; they want to switch when they get tired of you. Absolute loyalty to you? You’re not looking for a man, you’re looking for a dog.”
No such thing as non-flirtatious men…
Then why did Juncheng reject me… Why…
If he were flirtatious, he wouldn’t have rejected me so decisively…
Thinking of sad memories again, my expression turned cold, and I said to them, “If you can’t do it, then get lost.”
“Heh heh…”
The man clearly wasn’t going to give up that easily. He pulled out a butterfly knife from his pocket.
“Get lost? It’s you who should be rolling with us… Since you drank our drinks, you should at least pay for them, right?”
I knew it…
*Hoo*… If I screamed for help right now… would Juncheng come to save me? No, probably not… He should have gone home by now…
“As expected, if it’s not Juncheng, it won’t work…”
“What?”
…Never mind, let’s just consider this a wake-up exercise.
The man stepped forward to grab my hand, but I twisted his wrist at the artery, catching the knife as it fell from his hand. With that momentum, I pulled him over and kicked him in the groin, causing him to immediately collapse to his knees.
The other men swarmed forward…
Too slow.
I weaved through the gaps between them, drawing wounds on their exposed skin.
In the past, facing multiple men, I would have been completely defenseless… But now…
For some reason, just thinking about Juncheng made me feel like I could do anything.
*Ugh*… I’m supposed to forget him, why do I keep thinking about him…!
Gritting my teeth, I plunged the knife into the man’s palm and shouted,
“Ahhhhhh! My hand, my hand!!!”
“Juncheng An! Juncheng An! Juncheng An… I hate you…!”
*Ga-agh*…
The words that were supposed to come out got stuck in my throat.
“…*Sob sob*… *Sob sob sob*…”
I couldn’t say the word “hate”…
I still like him so much.
I like him even more.
Even though he rejected me, I still like him so much.
He looked so handsome even when rejecting me… Unlike me, he wasn’t nervous at all, didn’t stutter, but spoke his rejection words powerfully and openly… *Sob*… It hurts so much… It still hurts so much…
He rejected me before I could even confess… *Sob sob*, a completely failed unrequited love.
Why did Juncheng know I liked him? Why did he reject me so directly?
Is it because of Ji Lianbing? Because of Jiang Xueqing? Because of the younger sisters?
No… It shouldn’t be any of them. Juncheng in himself is a straightforward person. What should be, should be. He’s a very practical and down-to-earth person.
He dislikes complicated things, dislikes troublesome things, dislikes wrong things.
He also dislikes… my ambiguous attitude.
That’s why he rejected me so decisively.
He already anticipated that if this continued, things would become more and more troublesome, so he rejected me outright from the beginning?
I was too impulsive. I should have taken it slow, started as friends… progressed slowly…
Next time, I must put in my all, not let him… Next time?
Do I have a next time?
Isn’t it all over?
“No, no next time… maybe…”
Realizing this, I couldn’t help but burst into tears again.
“No! *Sob sob*… I don’t want this! I don’t want this… *Sob sob*… It ending like this!”
Cross it out, cross it out, cross out all of it!
“Waaaaah! Help! Help me!”
Cut it out! Cut it out! That kind of failed experience, just cut it out!
“Ugh! My thigh! Boss, save me! My leg’s been stabbed!”
I don’t want it to end like this. I want to start over. I still want to keep looking at Juncheng!
“*Sob sob sob sob*… I, I’ll never mess around with pretty women again… So scary, Mom… Women are so scary…”
Because, because I like him, I like Juncheng… I like Juncheng!
“Crazy woman…! Run! Prioritize the injured brothers!”
When I came to my senses, I realized the men were gone… Huh? Where did they go… I haven’t had enough to vent yet…
“Xiao… Lan?”
A familiar voice… I turned to look at her and replied with a smile.
“Ah, Sakura, what are you doing here?”
Seeing my state, Sakura rushed over and hugged me, saying nervously,
“You…! What’s going on! Why is there blood on you!”
“Mmm, it’s not my blood… *Hoo hoo*, I just taught them a little lesson.”
“We’ll talk about this later. Let’s go home! You’ll stay at my place tonight…”
Sakura grabbed my wrist, trying to pull me away, but my feet felt glued to the ground, refusing to move.
“Sakura, do you know what it feels like to be in love? It’s amazing… The gravitational pull when you fall for someone… You can completely ignore gravity, right?”
I casually threw the blood-stained butterfly knife to the ground, then turned to face Sakura, holding her hands, and confided in her.
“Sakura, he rejected me… I failed again. I was crying so sadly just now, I tried to hate him, tried to forget him, wanted to ruin myself… but I failed.”
I couldn’t forget him at all.
Instead, it became even more profound.
“Thinking about it now, being disliked is also a new experience. Because only when you’re disliked can you truly understand how strong your feelings of love are…!”
Because only Juncheng could make me feel so heartbroken.
The wonderful feeling of falling in love with Juncheng, repeatedly… *Hoo hoo hoo*…
“…Xiaohua you…”
Sakura’s eyes widened as she looked at me… Is there something strange about me?
“Sakura, I love him… In the end, I still love him…! Even if he doesn’t love me, I can still love him~ That’s great~”
“Great…? How is it great!”
“Everything…!”
Listen to me, listen to me, Sakura. Juncheng’s lips are really soft, aren’t they? His butt is also firm, his chest is so broad, I want to bury my face in it and nuzzle…
“Everything! Everything! Everything! Everything! Everything! Everything! Everything! Everything! I love everything about him!”
When I love him, when I love Juncheng, I am the happiest person in the world…!
My mind, my body, my heart are filled, filled, filled…
My heart stopped for nine seconds, and then began to beat again.
My world has no color without him.
Juncheng has eyes that are more straightforward and beautiful than I imagined.
The one I’m gazing at is the person I know best, the person I love most, the person most important to me.
Only when I gaze at him can I feel that he belongs to me…
In that case, I will use these eyes to completely engrave his image within them.
“Xiaohua, you’re acting very strange right now!”
Sakura flung my hand away and pressed down on my shoulders, yelling at me.
“Strange? Not at all~ *Hoo hoo*, I’m feeling better than ever right now, actually? Ideas are popping up one after another, and I want to put them into action right away!”
Right, I have a really good idea~
“I’ve decided, Sakura! In the past, I only cared about myself, but from today onwards, I’m going to make Juncheng the main theme of my life!”
Sakura frowned and asked,
“Are you saying… you’re going to stalk him all the time?”
“No, active stalking is too outdated. That way, I can’t watch him twenty-four hours a day…”
Although I really want to be with Juncheng all the time, I’m still human. I can’t watch him when I’m sleeping, and my movements are limited when he enters certain places… My body alone isn’t enough… So…
“Sakura… will you lend me your listening equipment? And, Xiaoliang, doesn’t he have some discarded cameras?”
“You…! What are you…!”
Sakura seemed to have figured out what I intended to do and gripped my arm, calling out nervously.
I immediately knelt down, clasped her legs, and begged,
“Please, this is a once-in-a-lifetime request! Sakura~ Please~”
“…I understand. I understand! I’ll give them to you! Get up now!”
She agreed~ That’s great~ I knew Sakura wouldn’t refuse my request~
“But be reasonable, okay, Xiaohua! Don’t get too deep! You’re already too far gone!”
“I know, thank you~ I like you second best, Sakura~”
“Hmph… You only like me second best…”
“It’s about the same level of liking as my parents~”
“Alright, I get it, let’s go home. Look at yourself! Honestly… you have no idea how worried I am about you…”
“Yes~ Yes~”
I will engrave the person I love in my eyes, and I will watch him forever…
My most favorite…
Of course, it’s still…
An Juncheng…
*Hoo hoo hoo*…
