There’re Always Paranoid Thoughts to Monopolize Me - Chapter 63.2

After saying this, Song Qingzhuo gave a cold laugh.

“I advise you to obediently come with me before Huo Zhonglou abandons you, otherwise you’ll end up losing both love and fortune, with nothing left!”

Just as Qin Ke was about to speak, she suddenly heard rapid footsteps coming from below the balcony.

She instinctively looked up and saw a familiar figure taking several strides up to the balcony.

“Huo—”

Before Qin Ke could even react, Huo Jun, with a terrifyingly cold expression, had just come to a stop when he raised his foot and viciously kicked towards Song Qingzhuo, who was sitting sideways in the rattan chair with his back to him.

With a muffled “bang,” along with the tea table next to the rattan chair being knocked over, the solid crystal vase with a hard bottom fell onto Song Qingzhuo, who had been directly kicked to the ground. Champagne roses and water spilled all over him.

It was a complete mess.

Qin Ke was shocked.

Song Qingzhuo seemed dazed from the kick, with the rattan chair he had been sitting on still overturned and covering his back like a turtle shell.

Song Qingzhuo awkwardly tried to turn over and get up.

Huo Jun didn’t give Song Qingzhuo this chance.

He stepped forward and directly knelt on the floor, firmly grabbing Song Qingzhuo’s tie. Under the tightening tie, Song Qingzhuo clawed at his collar, his eyes rolling back as he choked. At this moment, Huo Jun’s eyes were so cold and calm that it sent chills down one’s spine.

With an expressionless face, he clenched his fist and started punching Song Qingzhuo’s face viciously — each blow seemed like it was meant to kill him.

A few seconds later, Qin Ke finally came to her senses.

Seeing Song Qingzhuo already bleeding from his mouth and nose due to Huo Jun’s beating, Qin Ke’s pupils suddenly contracted—

“Huo Jun!”

More chaotic footsteps were heard from below the balcony as Dou Yingjie and others rushed over, drawn by the commotion.

But Qin Ke couldn’t spare a glance for them.

Her face turned pale as she looked at the two men on the ground — Huo Jun had completely lost his reason at this moment, his eyes almost entirely bloodshot, frighteningly red.

If this continued, Huo Jun might actually beat the man to death!

This terrifying thought struck Qin Ke.

She didn’t care about anyone else now, hurriedly running over to grab Huo Jun’s arm as he raised it again.

“Are you crazy — do you want to go to jail!?”

Qin Ke shouted hoarsely as she ran up.

However, Huo Jun was already completely lost in his hallucination, and without even turning his head, he yanked his arm back—

“Bang.”

“…Qin Ke!”

Someone in the crowd that had just reached the balcony cried out in alarm.

“—!”

Huo Jun’s raised arm suddenly froze.

The next second, he suddenly realized something and turned his head, his eyes bulging as he looked back—

The girl he had just inadvertently pushed away had fallen to the ground, her face pale.

At this moment, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head.

All of Huo Jun’s anger and irrationality instantly extinguished.

He turned back, got up, and ran to Qin Ke’s side, almost stumbling as he helped the girl up.

The young man’s face was deathly pale, as if he had been frightened. Without saying a word, his thin lips trembling and eyes frantic, he reached out to touch the girl’s forehead.

“Qin Qin—”

“…I’m fine.”

Qin Ke slowly regained consciousness from the blackout caused by the fall. Seeing Huo Jun’s terrified expression, she reached out and held his hand.

The hand still stained with someone’s blood, the hand that had just been striking with the force of iron and stone, was now trembling uncontrollably.

Qin Ke’s heart ached.

Fighting her dizziness, she repeated. “I’m fine, don’t be afraid.”

Hearing the pale-faced girl speak, the massive stone weighing on Huo Jun’s heart came crashing down.

It left him dazed, with a pain in his chest as if it had suddenly split open.

Huo Jun held the girl tightly, burying his head as he spoke in a hoarse voice. “I’m sorry… I—”

Before Huo Jun could finish, Dou Yingjie, who had just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to step forward, suddenly changed expression—

“Watch out!!”

Qin Ke’s breath caught.

Huo Jun only heard a vicious wind coming from behind him.

Without thinking, he forcefully pulled the girl into his arms to protect her.

“Bang!”

The solid crystal vase smashed violently against Huo Jun’s head.

“…!”

Qin Ke’s heart shrank sharply.

Immense shock instantly overwhelmed her.

Under that boundless terror, she only managed to see Song Qingzhuo’s hideous and nauseating smile covered in blood, as well as the bright red blood trickling down from the pale forehead of the young man in front of her…

No–

She heard a hoarse voice screaming inside her heart.

The light faded.

Qin Ke’s consciousness sank into darkness.

****

The moment her consciousness returned, Qin Ke sat up abruptly.

“Huo Jun–!”

The intense dizziness made her sway violently, almost falling back onto the bed.

The servant attending by the bedside was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to her senses and ran to the door–

“Miss Qin Ke is awake!”

“…”

Qin Ke endured the dizziness as she climbed out of bed, supporting herself against the wall as she staggered towards the door with her seemingly swaying vision–

“Where is Huo Jun… Where is Huo Jun– Let me see him!”

The girl’s voice couldn’t hide her obvious weakness and hoarseness. But the unprecedented coldness and anger made even the servants feel at a loss.

Until Yan An quickly ran in from outside the door, reaching out to stop Qin Ke–

“Ke Ke, you haven’t been examined yet, you can’t get out of bed now!”

“Sister Yan An–” As soon as she saw Yan An, Qin Ke almost couldn’t hold back the sting in her nose. She looked at Yan An, holding back tears, “Where is Huo Jun– Is Huo Jun alright?”

Yan An nodded, “The doctor has examined him– Just like you, he only has a mild concussion, he’ll be fine!”

“…!”

The breath Qin Ke had been holding in her heart suddenly loosened, and she almost collapsed to the floor right there.

The girl lowered her head, tears silently falling along her pointed chin.

It seemed that only when the tears fell onto the back of her hand did she react, quickly wiping them away.

But the tears refused to listen to her, falling more and more as she wiped, dropping down like broken beads.

Qin Ke finally couldn’t help it and covered her face with her hands.

“I was so scared…” the girl choked softly, “I thought something had happened to him…”

“…”

Yan An’s gaze flickered, seemingly hesitant.

After a few seconds, she turned her head helplessly, looking towards Huo Jingyan who was standing silently at the door.

Huo Jingyan frowned slightly.

After a few seconds of silence, he still spoke in a deep voice.

“Ke Ke. Although Huo Jun’s injury isn’t severe, the doctor said… he’s now in an unexplained deep coma.”
