Ruan Qing was also very helpless; after all, it was challenging to determine the extent of the injuries without going to the hospital. However, he couldn’t force the man to go to the hospital.
In the end, Ruan Qing could only purse his lips and say, “Well, if you ever feel uncomfortable, you can call me. My phone is on 24 hours a day.”
After saying this, he glanced at the time. “It’s already late. I’ll head back to school today.”
The man looked at the young man when he heard this.
The young man was facing sideways, his profile delicate and flawless. Long eyelashes cast shadows beneath his eyes, enhancing the beauty of his exceptionally pretty eyes.
Appearing exceptionally obedient.
Moreover, because they had just been on the same bed, the young man’s face was flushed with a radiant blush, making him look exceptionally charming.
The man withdrew his gaze before the young man noticed, calmly lowered his eyes, and ran his hand through his damp hair. “And then?”
“What, what do you mean ‘and then’?” Ruan Qing was somewhat puzzled.
The man looked straight at Ruan Qing, “Today’s incident. Don’t you plan to take responsibility for it?”
Ruan Qing immediately shook his head. “You misunderstood. I will take responsibility. If you have any medical expenses due to your health, I will cover them. If you need compensation for mental distress, I will do my best to compensate you. It might just take some time; I currently don’t have that much money.”
“Do you think I lack money?” The man spoke lightly, “You’ve seen my body, and you’ve done something so excessive to me. Is compensation enough?”
Ruan Qing bit his lip, lowered his head again, and apologized once more, full of guilt and self-blame, “I’m sorry.”
“For today’s matter, you must take responsibility for me.” The man’s tone carried a hint of firmness.
Ruan Qing lowered his head even more. “I will.”
“That’s good.” The man’s gaze fell on Ruan Qing’s face. He paused, his tone carrying a hint of hesitation and uncertainty. “How old are you?”
Ruan Qing was a bit bewildered, not understanding why the man would ask such a question.
If he’s underage, there wouldn’t be a need for compensation?
Although Ruan Qing felt that the man might be implying this, he still honestly answered his age, “I’m twenty-two.”
“You’ve reached the legal age,” the man nodded satisfactorily, then with an authoritative tone, he continued, “Bring your ID card and household registration tomorrow.”
“...Ah?” Ruan Qing raised his head with a puzzled expression. However, upon seeing the man’s fair chest revealed as his bathrobe casually opened, Ruan Qing awkwardly lowered his gaze again.
The man pulled on his bathrobe and nonchalantly looked at Ruan Qing. “Didn’t you say you wanted to take responsibility?”
...What kind of responsibility required an ID and household registration?
Ruan Qing widened his eyes, finally understanding the vast difference between the man’s ‘responsibility’ and his own concept of responsibility.
His responsibility was to compensate for various expenses, while the man’s responsibility clearly meant the kind related to marriage.
Blushing, Ruan Qing immediately shook his head in panic. “No, that’s not what I meant.”
“I mean...”
However, the man didn’t give Ruan Qing a chance to explain, interrupting him directly with a tone carrying a hint of displeasure. “What? Less than a minute has passed, and you’re already changing your mind?”
Ruan Qing opened his mouth but didn’t speak, a hint of embarrassment on his delicate face.
After all, deciding on something as serious as marriage so hastily was nearly impossible.
Although Qi Shen was the dream lover of most students in the First University, Ruan Qing had never entertained such thoughts. Even before today, he didn’t know Qi Shen; he was here only to deliver certificates and prizes.
He just didn’t expect such an accident to happen.
If it were someone else here, they might have gladly accepted this kind of ‘responsibility.’ After all, Qi Shen’s appearance and demeanor were outstanding, and he was the first heir of the Qi Group.
But for some reason, Ruan Qing wasn’t willing to accept it.
Although he had never thought about what his other half would be like, he didn’t want to easily take responsibility for someone he didn’t know.
He’d rather compensate.
Ruan Qing’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and finally, with a hesitant and negotiating tone, he spoke softly, “I, I really didn’t mean it. It was just an accident. I don’t think it’s necessary to be so hasty...”
The man’s eyes darkened completely, containing a storm-like sense of danger. “Do you think that because I’m a man, my innocence doesn’t matter?”
“Can a man just be seen casually?”
The man was evidently very angry, and his gaze at Ruan Qing felt like an approaching storm. “So because I was seen by you, touched by you, and even bumped into by you, it’s my fault? Am I the one lacking in self-restraint?”
Ruan Qing widened his eyes, looking at the man in astonishment. Then, with a tone of anxiety and awkwardness, he said, “No, that’s not what I meant. I just don’t think it’s that serious.”
“And I really didn’t look carefully. I turned around quickly, and I didn’t see anything.”
“So, you don’t want to take responsibility, is that it?” The man’s tone was extremely cold.
“I... I...” Ruan Qing opened his mouth but ultimately didn’t say anything.
“Heh.” The man’s eyes carried a hint of self-deprecation. “I am indeed someone no one would like.”
After saying this, the man closed his eyes without expression. “You can go.”
Although the man had no expression, there seemed to be a somewhat empty and bewildered feeling, subtly revealing a hint of sadness.
It even gave off a sense of someone with thoughts of despair, making Ruan Qing feel even more guilty.
But strangely, it was just guilt, and it didn’t shake his inner thoughts too much.
He didn’t seem quite like his usual self.
Ruan Qing opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn’t say anything, just turned around and prepared to leave.
However, halfway through, Ruan Qing heard a sound behind him, a sound that seemed a bit off.
Like someone getting out of bed and walking towards the window. He even heard the sound of the window opening.
Ruan Qing instinctively turned his head, only to see the man who had just been lying on the bed now standing in front of the window, then climbing onto the windowsill.
As if he would jump down the next second.
Ruan Qing widened his eyes. This was the third floor; jumping down would cause serious harm if not death.
Without thinking, he quickly ran over, tightly hugging the person and anxiously said, “What are you doing? Don’t be impulsive! Don’t do something foolish!”
However, the man kept struggling, and Ruan Qing was finding it hard to hold on. If this continued, something bad might happen.
Ruan Qing bit his lip, closed his eyes, and shouted loudly, “I will take responsibility! I will be responsible for you!”
The man’s struggling body paused, looking at Ruan Qing with hesitation. His handsome face showed uncertainty. “Really?”
“Yes, really.” Ruan Qing nodded immediately, afraid that any delay might upset the man.
“Clap! Clap! Clap!” Applause echoed at the door, followed by laughter.
Ruan Qing and the man both looked over; it was the boy from earlier.
The young boy had returned.
“Bravo, it’s truly exciting.” The boy seemed to have seen something funny, covering his stomach, tears streaming down from laughter.
“So, big brother, you’re this ‘fragile,’ huh? Hahaha.”
Ruan Qing was also very helpless; after all, it was challenging to determine the extent of the injuries without going to the hospital. However, he couldn’t force the man to go to the hospital.
In the end, Ruan Qing could only purse his lips and say, “Well, if you ever feel uncomfortable, you can call me. My phone is on 24 hours a day.”
