Luo Yan twitched his lips again, "I know, I just want to put on a mosquito-proof bracelet for you. Come on, get your flashlight and watch the road so you don't fall."
After Luo Yan put a light pink thin ring on Qiu Bailu's wrist, he walked away very simply. Qiu Bailu followed behind him, feeling like he was holding fifteen buckets of water, and he was nervous.
Qiu Bailu couldn't remember whether the fireflies were good-looking or not that day. She only remembered that she had been very nervous and carefully answered every question of Luo Yan. Until later, Luo Yan seemed to have realized something and didn't say a word.
Talk to her.
Just when he was sending her back to the cabin, he mentioned it vaguely, "There are some dangerous places on this island. Don't run around when you are fine. If you really get lost, I'm afraid I can't help you. Little
Lu, you didn’t hide anything from me?”
"Why do you say that?" Qiu Bailu's face froze.
"Because I think you are a little absent-minded, like you are planning something. I don't like to be betrayed. If you want to do something, I hope you can be more agile and don't let me know."
Qiu Bailu still wanted to explain, but Luo Yan was no longer willing to listen anymore.
Qiu Bailu felt that there was something in his words, so she spent the night in fear. When she got up the next morning, she found that Luo Yan had left a text message for her, saying that he had left the island and returned to China, and would come back in a week.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A week later, her assignment to the class should have been completed. Whether she should leave or not, there would be a conclusion. She knew that she was a little ungrateful. Luo Yan was not only good to her, but very good, but this was good.
, making her unable to bear it.
They are not the same kind, just like the difference between humans and gods. Some people are only suitable for admiration, not for love.
After spending a long week in anxiety, Ben did not show up, but Luo Yan came back.
On a sunny afternoon, Qiu Bailu sat at a simple oak table, watching the sea and drinking coffee. The coffee beans are produced on the island. Each one is hand-selected. The taste is better than the most expensive coffee on the market. Qiu Bailu originally
I don’t drink coffee, but I can’t resist such a rich taste.
Before I finished my cup of coffee, there was a knocking sound outside the door.
Qiu Bailu's hand trembled, and some of the half-full coffee splashed out of the cup. The splashed liquid left indecent marks on the clothes on her chest.
"Miss Qiu, Mr. Luo has some things to deal with, so he can't come over. He asked you to arrange your own time."
Luo Yan's personal bodyguard stood outside the door. Qiu Bailu had met him several times. He was a very cold-blooded and cold person. He answered every question without any mercy. Qiu Bailu still doesn't know his name.
Luo Yan couldn't come over, so she should feel relaxed, but for some reason, Qiu Bailu's heart was tightened.
If it was an ordinary matter, Luo Yan would not inform her specifically. Could it be...
"What is it? Can I help?"
The bodyguard's expression became a little strange, "I'm afraid you can't help me with this."
After he finished speaking, he was about to leave. Qiu Bailu chased after him, "What on earth is going on?"
"There was a child on the island who broke the clan rules. The clan leader was about to punish him and invited Mr. Luo to watch."
"What's the child's name?" Qiu Bailu heard her voice tremble, and the bodyguard looked at her deeply, "It seems to be called Ban..."
In the very center of the island, near the cliff of the waterfall, there is a flat open space. The residents of the island often choose to hold prayers or gatherings there.
When Qiu Bailu stumbled all the way there, Ban was being pulled towards some extremely tall pillars erected in the center of the open space. His mother was following behind him, crying sadly and wanting to step forward.
He went to pull her, but was held back by several men, preventing her from moving.
"Qiu, Qiu, help me." Ban shouted immediately when he saw Qiu Bailu.
Qiu Bailu glanced around and found Luo Yan farther away, standing with an old man with a long beard who looked very old and was wearing linen clothes commonly worn by island residents.
Luo Yan saw Qiu Bailu coming, but ignored him. He leaned forward intently, as if listening to the old man's speech, but his eyes fell on an unknown place, as dark as a sea cave with no bottom.
"What did he do wrong? Why should he be punished?" Qiu Bailu rushed to Luo Yan.
Luo Yan's brows raised, "This is their clan's decision. I don't know. You can ask them."
"They don't speak English at all! How can I ask? If you don't know, why did they invite you here? Luo Yan, don't pretend to be confused because you understand."
"That's good, Xiaolu. But between the two of us, who is pretending to be confused and pretending to be confused?" Luo Yan sneered, took something from the hands of the person next to him, and threw it in front of Qiu Baili without looking at it.
The white mobile phone was immediately smashed into pieces, and the plastic shell and screen separated, revealing the blue-green chip inside.
That was her cell phone, the cell phone she gave to Ben.
Qiu Bailu was speechless for a moment. Luo Yan looked at her face and felt an indescribable annoyance in his heart. Was he treating her badly? He would pick off the stars and moons for her if she asked for them, but how did she respond to him? She
Thinking about running away and thinking about other men, she was really smart and took advantage of an innocent child to her advantage.
He really underestimated her! She was so skillful that she conquered people in a short time and was willing to work for her!
"No, I don't want to go up, Qiu, help me, please, Mr. Luo, I know I'm wrong, don't hit me..." Ban was tied tightly to the pillar, his back exposed, far away from him
Not far away stood a man with muscles as strong as stone, also holding a long black leather whip in his hand.
The man raised his hand, then dropped it hard, leaving a gray mark on the rocky ground with his leather boots.
Qiu Bailu watched him walking towards Ban, and immediately realized what the punishment they were talking about was about. She didn't care about anything, grabbed Luo Yan's arm, and said quickly, "I asked him to do this.
Yes, I begged him, I lied to him, this matter has nothing to do with him, you can't punish him. If you want to blame, just blame me."
Luo Yan's face was calm, as if he had heard something ridiculous, and he smiled slightly, "How can I blame you? It's because he didn't follow the rules. If he is not punished today, I'm afraid he won't be able to remember."
After he finished speaking, he gestured to the old man. The old man immediately shouted something to the man holding the leather boots. The man understood and immediately raised his whip.
"No!!!" Qiu Bailu shouted, threw herself behind Ban, and protected him with her hands, "You can't hit him, he is so young, you will break him, he is here to help me deliver the message.
You only make mistakes when you go out, and it's all because of me." She paused, then looked at Luo Yan again, "If you want to punish me, just punish me."
The place was lonely. The islanders obviously didn't understand what Qiu Bailu was talking about, but that didn't mean they didn't understand what was going on between the two people. For them, Luo Yan was the most noble person besides the patriarch and the god.
Guest, Qiu Bailu is the woman he brought, and her identity is naturally unusual. But now Qiu Bailu suddenly yells at Luo Yan... I'm afraid something is not right.
Luo Yan's brows were raised, as if he was very distressed, "Xiao Lu, it's very difficult for me to do this. Do you know how many lashes he will be punished?"
"It's my fault, no matter how many times I'm whipped, I'll take it for him!!"
"Then...since you said so..." Luo Yan looked embarrassed, as if he had made up his mind, he continued, "Then I have no choice but to obey his orders respectfully. You will receive his 20 lashes."
"Xiao Lu, if you refuse now, you still have a chance." When Qiu Bailu untied Ban and tied himself to the pillar, Luo Yan walked to her and whispered.
Qiu Bailu stared at the ground, "If you can exempt him from punishment, then of course I am willing to refuse."
"This is impossible. I am a person who knows rewards and punishments. If someone does something wrong, someone must be punished. If I break the rule once, I'm afraid everyone will take my words as shit. Xiaolu, this time, it's really
It doesn’t work.”
It is really weird to say such vulgar words from such an elegant person.
Qiu Bailu wanted to laugh, and she really did, but her smile made Luo Yan's face instantly look very ugly.
Luo Yan waved his hand fiercely and walked away from her. The old man was discussing something with him. He waved his hand casually, and the first whip fell on Qiu Bailu's back without any warning.
The whip came through the air and made a sharp whistle in mid-air. The tough leather of an unknown beast immediately fell heavily on Qiu Bailu's back. The thin layer of summer clothes on her body was immediately torn open by it, and a stream of blood
The red traces immediately appeared.
The pain came so suddenly that Qiu Bailu was not prepared at all. Perhaps in her heart, she still had a fantasy that Luo Yan would be merciful and let her go the moment the whip fell.
But fantasy is just fantasy after all.
The pain of her flesh exploding made her whole body tense up. The sun was so big that it made her body sweat. The salty sweat rolled down from her skin, which magnified the pain countless times. Qiu Bailu gritted her teeth and couldn't hold back.
Let yourself scream, and soon the smell of blood will spread in your mouth.
The scene was completely silent, except for Ben's weak cries and begging sounds, which could be heard not far away. Other than that, there was the muffled sound of one whip after another hitting his skin.
A ball of fire seemed to be burning behind Qiu Bailu, and her eyes were blurred by the pain. She didn't know if it was sweat or tears that covered everything in front of her eyes, as if everything was covered with a layer of white veil. Everything became so unreal, only
That man, he is real.
She couldn't see Luo Yan's expression clearly, but she could feel his eyes. She had done something wrong and had to pay the price. He wanted her to feel pain and wanted her to know how powerful he was. There was no forgiveness in his eyes, only
