My Scheming Little Devil

She wouldn’t stop, mumbling and screaming, "Come out... get out... disgusting thing..."

Witnessing her crazed self-harm, Ji Lingkong’s heart trembled, his handsome face turning deathly pale like paper.

A powerful, tearing pain exploded from his heart.

Without thinking, he dashed forward, kneeling on the ground, bent over, heart aching as he grabbed her hands and tightly embraced her, preventing her from harming herself further.

Jun Yiyi was held from behind by him, her whole body shivered, thinking they were going to catch her again for more injections, she screamed desperately, struggling in fear.

"Let go of me... disgusting thing... don’t touch me..."

Ji Lingkong felt her desperately struggling in his arms, that slender little body trembling in fear, revealing how terrified she was at the moment. Her tears fell drop by drop on the back of his hand, burning him as if scalded by hot iron, making him tremble involuntarily.

Waves of piercing heartache surged from his chest, penetrating deep into his bones, even his soul, filling him entirely with immense anger, self-reproach, and suffering.

He didn’t know why he was feeling such intense emotions towards a stranger.

But this pain came so unguarded, so real and vivid, as if emerging from his soul, making it impossible to ignore. All he knew was that he couldn’t just watch her suffer, couldn’t tolerate others harming her like this.

"Jun Yiyi, it’s me." His voice was heavy with anguish, urgently calling her name.

Jun Yiyi shuddered, turned her head to see his face through the tangled hair falling over her face.

Her heart tightened, hugging herself, shrinking back in fear, tears streaming down her face as she trembled and choked, "I confess... whatever you want me to say, I will. Please, don’t torture me anymore... I’m in so much pain..." She was truly driven insane by him, disregarding all dignity and stubbornness.

Ji Lingkong saw her so terrified, his gaze darkened, heart tightened as spasms of pain attacked him.

"Don’t be afraid, you won’t be tortured anymore. I won’t hurt you!" He hugged her tightly, tenderly cradling her, rubbing her back to calm her frantic emotions.

With trembling hands, he gently brushed aside the messy hair covering her face, revealing her small face ravaged with fear. What should have been a pretty and lively countenance was now pale, trembling, smeared with blood and tears, like a battered little white flower on the verge of death.

Those usually mischievous and lively eyes were now only filled with fear and emptiness, their helpless and uncertain gaze breaking his heart.

"Don’t be afraid, no one can hurt you anymore, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!" Ji Lingkong’s voice was full of sorrow, heavy with self-reproach.

Jun Yiyi cowered in his arms, feeling as though she had found a lifeline amid despair, her small hands trembling as they clutched his clothes. Remembering the disgusting things on her body, she cried and begged, "Help me get rid of those disgusting things, I beg you, take them away."

Ji Lingkong finally noticed her abnormality, lifted her bruised arm, saw the dark blue things slithering under her pale skin, his face changed dramatically, eyes turning bloodshot as intense anger erupted within.

Turning around, he shot a cold, sinister glare towards the nearby Black Wolf.

Black Wolf was stunned, jaw dropped in shock, face colorless since Ji Lingkong barged in. The smug, savage aura drained away, leaving only tension and helplessness.
