Counter Attack Chapter 11

The forth meet up after their break up was selected at a patch of waste land. There was no sight of a single piece of brick within miles. Yue Yue had specially selected a patch of cemented ground and ensured that no spot can be pried open to hide bricks. After everything was ready, Wu Qiqiong appeared before her sight.

This time round, Wu Qiqiong's state of mind was very different from before.

He was mentally prepared. Although his heart still shuddered when he saw her beautiful face, but he would not risk his life for her again. If Yue Yue insisted on breaking up again, Wu Qiqiong probably would have forcefully accepted.

"I have quit my job in MNCs and decided to be an entrepreneur."

A grand sacrifice to change his image. Not only did it failed to gain recognition from the goddess, it led to a feat of scolding.

"Are you fucking stupid? It's such a hard to get job yet you resigned? With that kind of intelligence, you still want to be an entrepreneur? You would bankrupt!! I say, stop torturing yourself and get back to your previous company! You're bound to be a pathetic executive for your entire life. You can't survive leaving that company!"

After hearing that, Wu Qiqiong's heart was dead completely.

His hand in pockets, and stood straight as ever. His eyes were not as lovesicked or gentle as before. There was still, at the most, a tint of impatience and perseverance remaining.

"Tell me straight, are we on , or off?"

This was the first time Wu Qiqiong had spoken to her with such a tone. Yue Yue was amused.

She tiptoed and swayed to his side. She searched all over him from head to toe, even made him to remove his shoes and socks. After ensuring that not a single brick was found, her eyes were bright as ever.

"Off! I don't give it a damn*!"

No one knew if he became sensitive of that word. Wu Qiqiong's mind went haywire again.

He took up his phone, dialed a number, and said a word.

"OK."

Then, Yue Yue saw an electric bike came towards their direction. The moment it was in front of them, a dude in Mohawk took the piece of brick from the basket hanging in front of the bike and handed it to Wu Qiqiong.

Wu Qiqiong grabbed onto it firmly and gave the dude a pat on his shoulder. "Thanks!"

The dude turned around and quickly left.

Wu Qiqiong immediately smashed it against his head. His action did not seemed like a suicide but more of performing a stunt. There was just a little blood seeping. Wu Qiqiong didn't bother to even cover it with his hand. He threw the brick away and headed off.

Yue Yue was left stoning at the spot.

Wu Qiqiong walked into Jiang Xiaoshuai's clinic and started hesitating. Should I go inside? Will I be scolded? While still engrossed in thoughts, Jiang Xiaoshuai saw him. He was exceptionally affectionate and leaped over. He supported Wu Qiqiong inside.

"It had been long since you last came. I thought something had happened to you!"

Surely Wu Qiqiong did left quite some time. After he resigned, he stopped coming to Jiang Xiaoshuai for prescription and healed by himself. His visit this time was purely out of instinct. As if not visiting here after a smash, the entire process would have been incomplete.

"Give me lesser medicine this time round. I have resigned so I'm a little tight recently."

Jiang Xiaoshuai glanced at Wu Qiqiong with disappointment. "Did you seriously quit your job for her?"

"Partly."

Jiang Xiaoshuai stared at his pathetic sight, and couldn't bare to make the matter worse. He disinfected his wound with saline water and examined closely.

"You don't need to apply medicine this time round. Let it heal and it will be fine after 2 to 3 days."

Wu Qiqiong glanced at Jiang Xiaoshuai in confusion. "What do you think is wrong with my head? This time I used the greatest strength. But after smashing I didn't feel much and my head is not dizzy too."

Jiang Xiaoshuai grabbed Wu Qiqiong's hand and placed it against his wound. "Have a feel at it yourself. You head is fucking harder than brick!"

Wu Qiqiong chuckled.

Jiang Xiaoshuai noticed that Wu Qiqiong's laughter looked very comforting.

"I seriously hope that your heart can be like your head. The healing time decreases as the resistance becomes stronger. And finally when it's solidified, nothing will ever be able to break it."

Wu Qiqiong noticed Jiang Xiaoshuai's casual words were able to penetrate deep into his heart.

"Xiaoshuai, do you think I'm very dumb? Very low IQ?"

"Your IQ is not low, you just have low EQ."

Wu Qiqiong asked again. "Then why are you so smart? Why are you able to see through everything?"

Jiang Xiaoshuai shook his sleeves casually and created a small tornado.

"Has been deceived by many."

"You were also deceived before?" Wu Qiqiong couldn't believe his ears.

Jiang Xiaoshuai's lip turned down. "Worse than you."

Silence fell over the clinic.

"Master, please let me follow you!!!"

Wu Qiqiong scooted in front of Jiang Xiaoshuai out of the blue and shouted abruptly. Catching Jiang Xiaoshuai by surprise as he took three big step back, almost tripped into the dustbin.

"Say, can you stop doing things abruptly? Freaked me out! Why did you do that?" Jiang Xiaoshuai stroked his chest to calm himself. Even his eyeballs shrank in size.

Wu Qiqiong's face was sincere. "I don't want to be deceived again."

After everything settled down, Jiang Xiaoshuai said something to Wu Qiqiong. It was a word by Mr Li Kashing. Jiang Xiaoshuai use it as his quote of life as a reminder to himself.

"To crack an egg from outside we call it food; Break it from within we call it vitality. It's the same with life. Crack it from outside it's pressure; Break it from inside it's growth. If you wait for others to crack you from outside, you're bound to be their food. If you can break out from it, you'll discover your growth equates to a rebirth."

T/N

*Don't give it a damn - She meant she don't believe Wu Qiqiong can make another brick appear magically out of nowhere.

Till the next chapter. Ciao.
