71: I Have Hurt Her...

I Have Hurt Her...

Jiang Yang entered into his room and went straight to the bathroom for a shower.2

After a while, Lu Qiang woke up. Rubbing his eyes, he stood up as he looked at the door of Jiang Yuyan's room. He wished to knock on the door but gave up. When he went to Jiang Yang's room, a voice startled him.

"Oh, My God!"

It was Jiang Yang. He just came out of the bathroom with the white towel wrapped around his waist as he stood near the bathroom's door with a serious look on his face like something had happened.

Lu Qiang gave him a questioning look to know what happened, and the next moment he heard his friend.

"How can a man look so handsome with his sleepy face?" Jiang Yang teased.

Ignoring him, Lu Qiang sat on the couch, leaning back and closed his eyes, but Jiang Yang commented again, "No wonder, my rock hearted sister is smitten by you."

Jiang Yang was the kind of person who never liked to do anything in haste. When he saw Lu Qiang, he didn't ask him, 'What happened?' He always preferred to give others their own time and always behaved like his usual self to keep the atmosphere normal. 

When Jiang Yang saw Lu Qiang outside of his sister's room, he already guessed something must have happened to make him spend his night while sleeping outside of his sister's room.

Lu Qiang was still thinking about the things that happened the previous night between him and Jiang Yuyan. He wanted to see her at least once, but couldn't muster up the courage, not knowing how she would react and how he would face her.

Not saying much to give Lu Qiang sometime, Jiang Yang went to the wardrobe to wear the clothes. Once he was ready, he went to the couch and sat beside Lu Qiang, but Lu Qiang still didn't bother to open his eyes.

Spending a few moments of silence while looking at the window that opened into the gallery and observing the view outside, Jiang Yang asked, "How did the babysitting go?"

Lu Qiang sighed deeply, "Not so good. I think I troubled the baby."

"Hmmm! Still, thanks for being with her last night as I couldn't come back."

"No need to be formal. How did the surgery go?" Lu Qiang asked.

"It was successful. It was a critical one, so it took more time than we expected."

"Hmmm!"

As Lu Qiang was finally talking, Jiang Yang asked, "What happened?"

"I am sure you wouldn't like to know it."

"But still… I need to know."

"I have hurt her," Lu Qiang replied, his voice solemn. 

Noticing the change in his voice, Jiang Yang looked at Lu Qiang. He seemed sad, and his eyelashes were moist too, but Jiang Yang averted his sight, pretending he didn't notice it. 

Looking Back at the window, Jiang Yang asked, "Really?

"Hmm!"

"Are you sure, It was you who hurt her?" Jiang Yang countered.

"Then who else could it be?"

"But, I don't think it was you."

Taken aback by these words, Lu Qiang opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Yang, who was staring outside the huge glass window.

Following his sight, to the glass window, Lu Qiang said in a sad voice, "You don't know what I did with her."

Jiang Yang smiled a little. "I am sure you couldn't do anything more than just a kiss."

Feeling surprised again, Lu Qiang glanced at him. At that moment, he thought he couldn't understand Jiang Yang, but he could see Jiang Yang was also worried about his sister and had something in his mind. 

As Lu Qiang didn't know about her past, he couldn't guess what it was and decided to trust Jiang Yang the same way Jiang Yuyan trusted him.

Both stayed silent for a while, looking outside the window. Suddenly, Jiang Yang asked, "Was she unwilling to kiss you?"

Lu Qiang decided to answer honestly. "No!"

"That's good news then," Jiang Yang commented and didn't look like he was in a mood of having fun.

Lu Qiang again got surprised by his words, but this time he had an aggravated expression. 

"Don't you think you are trying to invade her personal space, Jiang Yang?"

Jiang Yang noticed this change in Lu Qiang, but he was calm. 

"That's the best I can do for her, Lu Qiang. If not you, then I'll get to know everything from her, as she shares everything with me. It's just that; I want to know your side of the story to understand her better."

This annoyed Lu Qiang. "Is she a medical project for you or what?"

Lu Qiang knew there was a reason behind Jiang Yang's actions, but he still didn't like it, as every person has the right to have their personal space.

Jiang Yang could guess Lu Qiang was not happy seeing he was inconsiderate towards Jiang Yuyan's privacy, so he gave a simple and straightforward reply.

"She is a wounded person, whom I am trying to heal by treating her unseen wounds. I am doing it for the last eight years, and I will continue doing it until I feel she has completely healed."

Lu Qiang understood him as a brother, but still, he asked, "In that case, weren't you worried about leaving her with a man for the entire night?"

"I am worried about her, that's why I did it." Jiang Yang finally looked at Lu Qiang. "Moreover, I knew the man I left her with won't do anything wrong with her."

What Jiang Yang said, was the truth as Lu Qiang couldn't hurt her, not even in his dreams.

"How can you be so sure?" Lu Qiang asked only to hear his friend praising himself.

"Well! Besides being an extraordinarily handsome and talented person, I have one more quality of understanding a person in just a single glance."

"But that man did hurt her."

"I can't say anything until you tell me what happened between both of you?"

"What kind of a brother are you? Who doesn't get angry at the man who kissed his sister? Instead, you want to know what exactly we did," Lu Qiang annoyingly asked.

Jiang Yang smiled and casually, "Well…One of a kind".
