CH 7

As soon as Xu Qinghe opened her eyes, she saw a small, fine key lying peacefully not far away. Like last time, she was neatly dressed and even had a thin blanket around her waist.

Her left hand was still handcuffed and locked in an uncomfortable position at the bedhead. When Xu Qinghe stretched her hand, she saw the scarlet and terrible scars on her wrist that covered her fair skin — it stung a bit.

After seeing these wounds, the events that happened not long ago slowly returned to her mind, rubbing a tingling pain on her dull nerves.

Only after a moment of daze did she reach out for the key tremblingly, but as soon as her fingers touched it, she let out a muffled groan of pain.

The so-called “present” was still stuffed in her bottom, causing her such severe pain. Just lying there, she could feel the intrusion of the foreign object making her uncomfortable. Already the slightest movement caused it to squeeze inside, bringing forth a wave of soreness from her small hole that would make her go limp.

So she had to pull out this “present” by herself? From there?

Pursing her lips, Xu Qinghe frowned as she inserted the key into the handcuffs to free herself. Only then did she realize that the handcuffs were hers, so it wasn’t hard to guess that the other handcuffs that were previously attached to her other wrist were Ji Zizhong’s.

Then her heart trembled when she thought of Ji Zizhong.

Before she passed out, she heard K say that she was only interested in her, so either Ji Zizhong got spared — or she was killed like the secretary. The more she thought about this, the more anxious she became, yet the more anxious she became, the more frightened she got. So it was not surprising that her shaking fingers holding the key slipped off several times from the lock.

With the handcuffs removed with great difficulty, she jumped straight out of bed and pushed the door open, catching sight of Ji Zizhong being handcuffed to the catty-corner stairs. Her mouth was duct-taped, her hair scattered around her shoulders, and she was leaning against the stairs in such a frail manner. The moment she saw Xu Qinghe, her eyes suddenly lit up — her gaze with both surprise and joy.

“Ji Zizhong…” Xu Qinghe ran over to her. Seeing Ji Zizhong being alright, the weight on her heart was finally lifted.

Quickly pulling off the duct tape, and just right after the handcuffs were unlocked, Ji Zizhong embraced her tightly around Xu Qinghe’s waist. She paused next to her ear for a long time before sighing emotionally: “…Good thing nothing happened to you.”

“They didn’t do anything to you, did they?”

A slightly trembling voice clearly revealed Ji Zizhong’s nervosity. Xu Qinghe was hugged tightly, feeling the warmth of Ji Zizhong and her hot breath on her ear. A few strands of messy hair brushed against her cheek — ticklish.

The author has something to say:

I went to the beach on May 1st and only got home last night, so I’m really tired from traveling. I apologize for not updating these days, but I’ll make up for it in the next few days.

After reading the comments, I still want to explain some things. I have repeatedly typed warnings in the text/title/author’s notes. Since this was the case, why do you have to click on here if you don’t like it and accuse the novel of being a “straight man pushing porn”, “H for the sake of H”, and “not correct three views” after reading it? I can’t argue against these, I can’t, but I’m sorry that you might not like it.

I can only say that the ending will not be a happy ending in the traditional sense. There are a lot of things about Ji Zizhong (or K) that I haven’t written out yet, so her character is not developed enough yet. But it seems that she did kill a lot of people and raped Officer Xu, so it’s hard to go for a sweet ending. [ Ji Zizhong: It’s just human nature to like people like me (not).jpg]

However, I think the outline for the ending is reasonable and not too abrupt, so don’t worry about it. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to write more than one ending if I’m not happy about it, but now that I’m the one writing the story, I can do that.(›´ω‹ )

I’ll say these things again: This novel is a “wrong morals but a bit upright H-text”. Proceed with caution and I won’t repeat it later. Thank you for all your likes and review suggestions, and I hope you all have a great May Day~

The translator has something to say:

Well, I haven’t seen any negative comments so far, so thank you for that! I of course understand that this novel isn’t for everyone, but since you’ve stuck with me until now, I guess it’s not that bad…right? ;D

So after reading through a lot of meaty texts (meat = porn in Chinese) lately, I say this novel is still one of the better ones with plot. I also have noted down a few more novels I enjoyed while browsing the whole Yuri tag on Haitang/Po18, which I really want to translate after I’ve finished this one. However I want to focus on finishing this one first, since I know how many novels get dropped halfway and/or await updates after months.

Though as I warned before, I’ll probably aim for weekly releases since I have a few games I want to play too. I bought “Foul Play” today, which is a VN about a detective and an assassin. Premise sounds quite…similar to Non-Police (without all the rape stuff), lol.
