DTBS - Chapter 71
Chapter 71: Setting You Free
"Slash—!" The knife plunged into the cat doll's head, brutally destroying the big white cat's smiling expression.
Qin Qingshang closed her eyes, holding up the white cat doll, her body trembling with fear. She thought she was going to die, so she simply channeled the intensity she had when playing Werewolf yesterday, thinking "take down as many as possible." She kicked out, hitting the man in front of her squarely in the groin, making him let out a piercing scream.
"Qingshang!" Tao Qiuyun grabbed the man's wrist, preventing his knife from advancing another inch.
Heaven knows, when she turned to counterattack and saw the knife touch the big white cat doll, her heart nearly stopped. If the knife hadn't plunged into the doll, if she hadn't happened to grab the man's wrist and force him to stop, Qin Qingshang would have... because she was saving her.
The woman's grip tightened.
It was all because of her soft heart and her hesitation to strike hard due to the live broadcast!
Image? If this gentle and polite image would cause Qin Qingshang harm, then it was better to reveal the fangs she already possessed.
Holding the man's wrist firmly with her right hand, Tao Qiuyun quickly and forcefully twisted and lifted it, directly dislocating his wrist joint. Her expression was colder than snow, more severe than frost.
"Ah ah ah—!"
Tao Qiuyun wrapped her left arm around the woman in front of her, pulling her into an embrace. She used her elbow forcefully, this time hitting the man's temple without mercy. This immediately silenced the man who was screaming in pain from his groin and wrist, providing a simple and effective physical "anesthesia."
"Qingshang, are you hurt anywhere?" Tao Qiuyun held her shoulders and turned the cat doll around. "Qingshang?"
"Ah!" Qin Qingshang snapped back to reality, looking at the big white cat doll in her hand with a knife stuck in its head. She reached out, pulled the small knife out, and tossed it aside, sighing, "Big Cat is dead."
"No," Tao Qiuyun's eyes welled up, "Big Cat is still alive, she's fine."
"Then let's go back and fix her, this is the big white cat that saved our lives!" Qin Qingshang smiled and held up the big white cat doll with the wound on its face.
They looked at each other, seeing the familiar gentle eyes. Only then did Qin Qingshang's tense nerves completely relax, and the feeling of lingering fear slowly surfaced. She reached out and wrapped her arms around Tao Qiuyun's neck, burying herself in her embrace, just like she had held her during the Night of Stars. "Qiuqiu, we actually survived."
This time, Tao Qiuyun didn't hesitate at all. Almost instinctively, the moment Qin Qingshang hugged her, she immediately wrapped her arms around her waist, pulling her into her embrace. Her arms tightened, her voice slightly trembling, "Yes, thanks to you for blocking the knife for me."
"I used the stand-in technique!" Big Cat tried to lighten the mood.
"That was amazing." Tao Qiuyun closed her eyes, holding her even tighter.
The live stream chat, which had been silent moments before, was now completely flooded with comments:
【Ah ah ah ah, you scared me to death, I forgot I could breathe】
【Is this a police and bandit movie set? (I'm new here)】
【Is this a romance show? Is this a romance show? Oh, I looked at the name of the live stream room, I think it fits perfectly】
【Super High-Speed Heartbeat, indeed, truly super high-speed, so high-speed my heart almost stopped】
【Although it was really thrilling just now, I still want to say Sister Qin is amazing】
【Sister Qin : Didn't expect it, I know the stand-in technique】
【Sister Qiu is incredible! Incredible! That skill, and when she grabbed that person's wrist just now, did you see her cold expression? Ah ah ah ah, my tears are flowing from the corners of my mouth】
【If Sea King Qiu is willing to settle down in the future and not flirt around so much, I might reluctantly agree to her dating my Sister 】
【Ah ah ah ah, I've already prepared the wedding gift money, please, please, promise me you'll get married as soon as you get out, I checked the calendar, today is a good day, suitable for marriage】
【Could Qiu Yi be an anti-drug police officer? She seemed to have noticed that guy was off earlier】
【Sister Qiu Sister Qin hehehe】
The other guests rushed over, asking about Tao Qiuyun and Qin Qingshang's condition. The show's director was even more terrified and personally came over, repeatedly urging the two to go to the hospital for a check-up no matter what. The production team and other guests would cooperate with the police investigation here.
"It's really great that you two are okay," Fang Yu sat down next to Qin Qingshang. "Qiuqiu still has a small check-up, so you wait here for a bit."
"Captain Fang," Qin Qingshang looked at him curiously, "Are you and Qiuqiu very close? She always comes to you for things."
"No, no! Just friends, no other relationship, please don't misunderstand," Fang Yu quickly waved his hand and explained, "We just grew up together, plus I know her true nature... uh."
"True nature?" Big Cat tilted her head, as if she had discovered a big secret. "What true nature?"
"Nothing," Fang Yu smiled and changed the subject. "Right, I watched your show, it's very interesting. What are you playing at? Why would wives participate in a romance show?"
"Captain Fang," Qin Qingshang saw that he didn't answer her question and also avoided his question, bringing up a new topic: "Qiuqiu said that my previous incident involved drug dealers. Did you tell her? You were willing to tell her, so shouldn't I, the person involved, know exactly what happened?"
"Moreover, since you and Qiuqiu are childhood friends and have a good relationship," the woman stared at him, "then do you know why Qiuqiu is so... brave and righteous?"
She chose a positive word.
"This..." Fang Yu stammered.
"Then I'll ask another question," she crossed her arms. "Tao Qiuyun, has she always been so knowledgeable? She even knows details about drug use that very few people would actively pay attention to. She could react so quickly, perhaps it's related to her having seen drug users, but... if she hadn't truly understood it, I don't think just seeing them would be enough for her to reach this level."
"Um, do you know about her past?" Fang Yu probed.
"Are you talking about being a bartender at a bar?" Big Cat nodded seriously. "I know, she also likes to help drunk girls."
"Since you know, there's nothing for me to hide. She probably just didn't have time to tell you either." Fang Yu relaxed. "Qiuqiu was actually quite well-behaved at first, and she completely avoided bars, clubs, and even slightly chaotic places. Growing up, she was the type... you know, 'someone else's child'?"
"Mhm mhm." Big Cat nodded.
"But something happened when she was studying abroad."
"What happened?"
"Let me clarify first, Qiuqiu has never been in a relationship. When I heard she married you, I was completely stunned," Fang Yu prefaced, then continued, "She had a junior classmate, their relationship was actually just average. But Qiuqiu usually liked to take care of girls, so that junior couldn't help but confess to her during the holidays. Of course, Qiuqiu rejected her on the spot."
"Rejected her on the spot!" Big Cat exclaimed. "That junior must have been very sad."
"Yes, she was sad, she cried terribly." Fang Yu sighed, his expression also becoming heavy. "The night she was rejected, that junior was invited by her classmates to drink at a bar. She got drunk..."
Qin Qingshang froze, sensing something bad. She hesitated, "That..."
"It's okay," Fang Yu shook his head, looking at her with sincerity. "She didn't even tell her wife, she hid it deep enough. This kind of psychological issue should have been confessed to you before marriage. Wives should be honest with each other."
Qin Qingshang fell silent, and Fang Yu's voice continued:
"That junior got drunk and was picked up by someone, by a group of people. Some of them were drug users, and they even injected her with that stuff to enhance the mood. The next day, she jumped off a building at school and committed suicide."
"Qiuqiu found out about this..." Fang Yu lowered his head. "She had already flown back to the country at that time. Actually, she's very good at hiding her emotions. I was having dinner with her then and couldn't tell, she was exactly the same as usual."
"But later I found out, she flew back to the school that very night. Besides finding a lawyer to sue and throw those scumbags in jail, she also staked out that bar every day. When she encountered men who picked up girls, she would drag them into the alley and beat them up. She had learned martial arts, and she was stronger than average people. Relying on her exceptional talent, she vented her anger recklessly."
Hearing this, Qin Qingshang only felt heartache. "Then, did her psychological state get better later?"
"It seemed to get worse, new problems appeared." Fang Yu leaned back in his chair. "Later, I don't know how Sister Huai found out about her, and then introduced her to a psychologist. The doctor told her, 'You are not a savior, you can't save everyone, you can't take everything upon yourself.' Under the doctor's professional advice, she found a hobby that could calm her down..."
"Bartending?" Qin Qingshang finished his sentence, already having a general idea of the situation, but there was still one question. "Do I look like her junior classmate?"
"Huh?" Fang Yu was startled, then shook his head frantically. "Why would you think that? No, not at all! Not to mention Qiuqiu didn't like that junior at all, that junior was a foreigner with bright red explosive hair, three nose rings, over ten earrings, and a lip piercing. You can't say whether you look alike or not, you can only say you're completely unrelated!"
"Completely unrelated to what?" Tao Qiuyun walked over. "What are you talking about?"
"Talking about how brave and fearless you are, Qiuqiu!" Qin Qingshang smiled and ran towards her. "Are you okay now?"
"Yes," shaking her head at Qin Qingshang, Tao Qiuyun turned her gaze to Fang Yu, a hint of scrutiny in her eyes. "Did you say anything?"
"No, no," Fang Yu smiled and stood up. "How could I casually interfere with you two young wives' matters! I'll leave first. That guy is a breakthrough. I'll send you a commendation banner later."
Seeing Fang Yu leave, Qin Qingshang looked at Tao Qiuyun. Just as she was thinking about how to start the conversation, Tao Qiuyun spoke first:
"Qingshang, I was just thinking, if I explain it to you face-to-face now, will I still need to write an 800-word application report?"
Big Cat choked.
Report, report, always a report!
She was furious, but the woman in front of her had such a gentle and serious look, it was impossible to get angry. After all, the suggestion of writing a report was her own idea.
Qin Qingshang sneered. Under Tao Qiuyun's surprised gaze, she reached out and touched the woman in front of her from head to toe.
"You..." Tao Qiuyun opened her mouth, her face slightly red.
"Do you remember which parts of you I touched?" The woman crossed her arms.
"Yes," Tao Qiuyun nodded. "Touched the top of my head, eyebrows, eyes, nose, face, lips, chin, neck, collarbone, ches..."
"Stop!" Qin Qingshang interrupted her, saying fiercely, "It's good that you remember. For each of those places, write me an 800-word explanation report! And just like we agreed before, you have to specify that it was your body part that touched me! Not a single word less, I'll count and check them one by one. Also, you're not allowed to use those repetitive methods like 'I hinder you' from before. If you can't do it... if you can't do it, we divorce!"
Write reports, write reports, I'll make you like writing reports!
"I can do it," Tao Qiuyun stared at her. "Are you that eager to divorce me, Miss Qin?"
Hearing her call her Miss Qin again, Qin Qingshang clenched her fists, pretending not to care. "Not that eager, anyway, it's only half a year left, it'll be soon."
"Okay," the woman hid the emotions in her eyes, suppressing the reluctance in her heart, and said stubbornly, "Don't worry, Miss Qin, in half a year, I will definitely let you go free and divorce on time."
"...You better!" Big Cat said fiercely, puffing out her cheeks, and turned to leave.
Tao Qiuyun, Tao Qiuyun, Tao Qiuyun!
Ah ah ah ah, she's so angry she could die!
Wait, why am I angry?
Divorce is divorce, if we don't divorce, it'll look like I can't bear to leave you!
Divorce! Must divorce!
You can still think about report at a time like this🤣
