A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

She had looked up and stared at the confident man, and she didn’t know why, but she had been fascinated by him. Since it didn’t really make much of a difference whether it was Imperial Entertainment or Skyart Entertainment’s training camp, Xia Yingluo simply smiled and nodded. “Okay, you have to keep your promise.”

In this way, she became Zhao Yixuan’s little girlfriend.

Zhao Yixuan arranged her to get into the training camp and applied for a student bonus for her, promising to make her debut. She admired him for almost a year until the dream was broken and it was now time to leave.

Facing the slightly breezy wind in the back mountain, she started to run laps.

Thirty laps may be difficult for other trainees, but it was not too difficult for her—she had been in good physique ever since young and was not inferior to many combatants in her family due to the special training of her father. Thus, this punishment was only a walk in the park.

The sky was clear in the summer, and everywhere the fragrance of the plants and trees could be smelled. She ran and didn’t feel anything at first, but gradually her body became heavier and she felt something wasn’t right. A faint sensation of pain crept up on her, tearing and pulling secretly inside her body, like the feeling that had lingered after that night. It engulfed her, getting stronger and stronger.

Xia Yingluo was a little panicked. What happened?

Didn’t the school doctor say she was healthy and okay?

She wanted to go back down the mountain and go to the school hospital for a detailed examination, but she was perspiring heavily in pain and couldn’t move.

She gritted her teeth and barely took a few more steps when she hit against a strong, solid body.

She looked up and found that it was Wei Lingnan.

Wei Lingnan wore a tailored shirt and trousers. It was obviously hot weather, but she could not see the slightest sweat on his handsome ice-sculpture-like face. His long figure shrouded against the sun and cast a circle of light and shadow.

Suffering from the severe pain in her body, she stared at him dully, as if looking at a mirage.

Wei Lingnan looked down at her and said with a light tone, “I told you before that you’ll be in pain again and will come crying to me for help.”

Hearing this arrogant and annoying remark, she finally concluded that this was not her hallucination. She gritted her teeth and said, “You wish.”

“Then you’ll just die of pain.” He really stood still and watched her stiffly as she tossed about in pain. She fell down slowly, paralyzed on the ground and unable to stand, moaning in excruciating pain, the groans overflowing from the corners of her lips.

She gritted her teeth and made up her mind not to beg him. The pain pulsated and sweat flowed down her forehead, blurring her vision until gradually, she couldn’t see anything. She only stared at a small place in front of her at the corners of her eyes, where there was a pair of finely crafted calfskin shoes that weren’t moving. It belonged to him.

Her knuckles were pale, and she clutched onto his shoes tightly, but she was too weak to leave any traces.

“Wei Lingnan…” She gasped heavily. “I will never, ever, spare you…”

There was a sneer above her head, and she was caught by her messy long hair. Her body was dragged backward carelessly all the way to the shade of the woods. Then, his long figure shrouded her and he covered her lips with his cold thin lips.

She shook her head weakly, trying to avoid him, but she couldn’t.

Dizziness swept through like a violent storm, and her consciousness seemed to sink into a deep sea. Her vision was becoming more and more blurred, and her whole body’s nerves were so sharp that she could clearly feel him ripping off her clothes and caressing her impudently.

Every touch provoked even her tiniest nerves.

He turned her over without much effort, held her head, and entered from behind.

She was in so much pain she wanted to scream, but her throat was hoarse and she couldn’t make a single sound.

When everything was over, he got up and just tossed her a broken coat. “Let me teach you two things. First, you have to be punished for doing what you wanted with the flowers I gave you. Second, you will suffer anytime as long as I want you to.”

Her face was pale and she had never been so angry and helpless before. A fire seemed to be burning in her heart, and she was full of hidden despair, like a sea filling up with cold water. If she had a knife beside her now, she would have killed him without hesitation, she was sure of it!

Wei Lingnan’s footsteps went away.

Xia Yingluo didn’t see it, but his white knuckles were faintly stained with white shards, which were broken Skatana petals that slowly dissipated in the air. He had taken such a long time, devoting all his efforts to cultivate the four flowers. When the flowers bloomed and she had grown up, he had carefully brought them all in front of her, but she had abandoned them and treated them so carelessly.

He was right, this flower could cure her rejection reaction, but she didn’t believe it.

A bird flew across the sky.

She stumbled in the mud like a bird with a broken wing.

She didn’t have energy and went motionless. After a long time, the sky suddenly started pouring heavy rain. Lightning flashed and it poured heavily.

The heat of her body quickly dissipated in the rain. She couldn’t go on like this. The most feared thing in the wild would be losing body heat. Xia Yingluo struggled and exhausted her last strength to climb up the old banyan tree, enduring the tearing pain in her body and stumbling down the mountain.

At this moment, she was extremely grateful that her father was Li Lei, who had taught her so much survival knowledge in the wild.

Relying on the survival instincts she had accumulated over the years, she fumbled down the mountain and opened the door of the school’s medical office in the dark stormy night. The school doctor was leisurely leaning on a lounger by the table and reading a book. The milk coffee in her white porcelain cup was steaming hot. The school doctor was startled after seeing her frail appearance as she quickly put down her book to greet her. “Xia Yingluo, why is it you again?”

Her lips were dark purple and she couldn’t talk.

The school doctor quickly handed the milk coffee to her. “You must be frozen cold, drink something hot.” She turned on the heater again and found a dry towel as well as a hospital gown. “Hurry up and change your clothes, or you’ll fall sick.”

Xia Yingluo also knew that she was in bad condition. She trembled and changed into the clothes slowly, the pain in her body tearing her in half. She was almost done changing when she fell down without warning and curled her body up in pain.

“Xia Yingluo!” The school doctor quickly leaned over to help her. “What the hell is wrong with you?”

“I…” she said intermittently with much difficulty. “I’m in pain, the same pain like the one I told you before… that pain.”

The school doctor’s face was dark. She only realized her body was full of red and purple bruises, and there were also a few ambiguous tooth marks. Needless to say, she already knew what had happened. “You!” She couldn’t help but scold. “Why don’t you know how to love yourself more at such a young age! Why are you messing around with a man in this weather?! That man is also a bastard, how could he let you come here alone?”
