Chapter 563: Chapter 563: True and False, Indistinguishable_1
Li Qing really couldn’t wash away his guilt even if he jumped into the Yellow River now.
He had never expected that in the end, the culprit would turn out to be himself.
And he felt the same way.
It was not like he could make the old Apricot Tree stand up and be a witness.
So the murderer was him!
However, he hadn’t actually planned to do anything to Qin Wenjun, just to scare her a little bit.
"Are you going to kiss or not? If not, then we’ll just stalemate like this, or maybe I’ll hang you up again!" Li Qing said indifferently.
Qin Wenjun was both scared and confused.
"Li Qing, do you have some kind of problem?" she yelled fiercely.
The things Li Qing did tonight were truly beyond her comprehension.
No matter how she thought about it, it all seemed like his doing.
But this bastard was behaving so flippantly, every word of his sounding like a joke.
"Are you going to kiss or not?" Li Qing asked again.
"If I kiss you, will you let me go?" Qin Wenjun asked through gritted teeth.
Li Qing nodded, "I promise I won’t stick out my tongue!"
"You bastard, you want to kiss on the mouth?!" Qin Wenjun’s eyes suddenly bulged like a cow’s.
"If it was just a peck on the cheek, would I have gone through all this trouble?" Li Qing said angrily, "Kiss, of course, means on the mouth!"
"No way!" Qin Wenjun said decisively, her attitude extremely firm.
To her, a kiss on the mouth was as significant as that deed.
"Then we’ll just be at an impasse, and you can be my hostage honestly, anyway, I can see that I’m definitely in hot water today, no matter how I explain, it won’t be clear," Li Qing said calmly.
Qin Wenjun saw several lights approaching from a distance, pondered for a moment while grinding her teeth, and asked, "If I let you kiss me, will you let go of me?"
Li Qing nodded, "A gentleman’s word is as good as his bond."
"...Fine!"
Qin Wenjun glared, clenched her teeth, nodded slightly, then tilted her chin up and closed her eyes forcefully.
Li Qing chuckled lowly with a ’heh’.
Even he himself felt that his smile was incredibly lecherous.
Seeing Qin Wenjun’s resigned, neck-bared-for-the-slaughter demeanor, Li Qing suddenly asked, "What did you have for dinner tonight?"
"Instant noodles, is there a problem?" Qin Wenjun asked breathlessly, annoyed.
"Nothing much, I’m just worried there might be a taste in your mouth," Li Qing said nonchalantly.
Qin Wenjun’s eyebrows shot up instantly, nearly dying of anger.
"Are you going to kiss or not?" she asked through gritted teeth, enunciating each word.
Li Qing said seriously, "Well... I need to think about it, I have some trouble accepting the taste of instant noodles."
"Just now, when I was giving you CPR, no, while I was dealing with you, I noticed those two little steamed buns of yours were quite perky. How about we switch to kissing those instead?" Li Qing chuckled lewdly.
Since Qin Wenjun was adamant to see things that way and he couldn’t clear the misunderstanding, then he might as well go along with it.
After all, he had nothing to lose; it was her, Qin Wenjun, who would feel uncomfortable.
"Impossible!" Qin Wenjun, her face flushed with anger, said sharply.
But this rather attractive blush, it was unclear whether it was caused by anger or by shame.
"You might as well kill me!" Qin Wenjun said fiercely.
"Actually, I just kissed you, and that sensation was so irresistible, I wanted to savor it once more." Li Qing sighed softly and continued, "Look, even though I’ve made a foolish mistake and ruined a brilliant life, your sacrifice would lead to my capture without resistance. You wouldn’t suffer either; in fact, it’s quite a good deal, isn’t it?"
"Impossible, you wish!" Qin Wenjun was so angry that her eyes reddened.
Whether it was a misconception or reality, touched by Li Qing’s words, she felt a dampness there.
"Actually, this really is a good deal. You brought reinforcements, but in my grasp, what if you got hurt in a struggle? How disadvantageous that would be for you? Besides, I’ve already kissed you once; there’s no difference between the first and the second time." Li Qing pleaded earnestly, barely containing his smile.
Damn old lady, spreading rumors about me, framing me, now I want to see what you’ll do.
"If you want to kiss, do it quickly. If not, you might as well kill me," Qin Wenjun said sharply.
Her chest heaved violently, but it was unclear whether it was out of anger or fear.
Li Qing glanced over at the approaching lights but then looked back at Qin Wenjun’s vibrant and fair, flushed face.
He was really just teasing Qin Wenjun with a little joke, deliberately scaring her.
But now he was actually somewhat tempted.
Her little mouth, so pink and juicy, looked really enticing.
"Even though it tastes like instant noodles, I suppose I’ll reluctantly accept it. After all, we had a good relationship before, and I do have regrets about how things turned out," Li Qing suddenly became caught up in the moment.
He sighed softly and said mournfully, "What a pity there is no medicine for regret in this world. Considering the gravity of tonight’s matter, it’s highly likely that I’ll be sentenced to life or even death. If I kissed you, I wouldn’t have any regrets left; I’ve always quite liked you."
"I was indeed too impulsive today; I should apologize to you."
Qin Wenjun, who had closed her eyes tightly, opened a small slit and looked at Li Qing somewhat dazedly.
Although there had been many conflicts between them before, their relationship had indeed been quite good afterwards.
She couldn’t understand why Li Qing would suddenly treat her this way!
Beating her, humiliating her, and even doing that to her... and in the end, he even hung her from the tree, wanting to kill her.
These actions couldn’t be more cruel.
Even though she was the victim, hearing the weighty words "life sentence" and "death penalty" still made Qin Wenjun’s heart ache.
"Hurry up and kiss, you... you can use your tongue; take it as the last... little favor I give you," she said.
Li Qing hesitated for a moment, then bent down and gently captured Qin Wenjun’s soft lips.
A man who doesn’t take advantage when he can is a fool. The emotional scene had escalated to this point; there was no reason not to act on it.
Qin Wenjun’s lips were very cold, probably because of her emotions at the moment.
This made Li Qing reluctant to proceed.
After all, she had just come down from the tree, and it seemed somewhat... inappropriate for him to take advantage of her in this way.
"It’s delicious, too sweet," Li Qing ultimately didn’t use his tongue.
He looked earnestly at Qin Wenjun and said softly, "Actually it wasn’t me, I didn’t hit you, mess with you, nor did I hang you from the tree."
"But don’t worry, I will find that bastard who hurt you."
Qin Wenjun stared blankly at Li Qing, struggling to discern which of his words were true and which were lies.
At that moment, the lights from a distance finally arrived.
"Put your hands up, quick!"
Someone shouted sternly.
"Shut up! Li Qing, how could it be you?" Wang Baichuan emerged, asking in surprise.
