Gu Qingxin took a taxi home. At this time, Lin Yin had already left for work. Qingxin had lost all her belongings, so she found the spare key under the doormat to unlock the door.

The first thing she did as she went in was to call Lin Yin. The call was answered quickly, and an anxious voice from her mother came through, “Where were you last night? Why was there no answer from your phone?”

“Mom, I’m so sorry, I lost my phone by accident yesterday. My classmate fell ill, so I was taking care of her all night and I forgot to call.” Gu Qingxin, choking back tears, apologized to her mother.

Lin Yin was finally at ease, “In the future, if something like this happens, you must call me. Do you know how worried I was?”

“I’m sorry, it definitely won’t happen again.”

“Call Qianqian too. She was unable to reach you last night and was also very worried. I have work on my side now, I won’t keep you. Prepare something to eat, don’t starve yourself.” Lin Yin hung up the phone.

Feeling miserable, Gu Qingxin set down the phone and got up to walk into the bathroom, intending to take a bath first.

Standing under the shower, she turned on the water without even taking off her clothes, letting the cold water wash over her.

The ice-cold water finally brought her some calm. Resolutely, she took off her clothes. Since this had already happened, no amount of sadness would make a difference.

Gu Qingxin, you are no longer the pampered Miss Gu. For your mother’s sake, you must face everything with strength.

Tossing her clothes to the side, she looked down at her abdomen, which had been hurting. When she saw the terrifying tattoo on her lower belly, her black pupils contracted sharply.

Quickly, she looked up into the mirror. There, a little lower than her belly, was a wolf-head tattoo.

Half of the lifelike, richly colored wolf was hidden, lurking, ready to pounce and kill its prey at any moment.

Especially those two eyes, they seemed alive, emitting a horrifying glow.

Gu Qingxin was shocked, she hurriedly covered the tattoo, blocking the pair of eyes that terrified her.

Turning around and facing away from the mirror, she finished taking her bath, took a towel, wrapped herself in it, and still feeling unnerved.

What was that man thinking, giving her a tattoo? The thought of being touched by different strangers made her sick.

All of it made her so miserable she wanted to cry. She picked up her toothbrush, applied toothpaste, and started brushing vigorously without even wetting the brush. She brushed again and again, hoping to eliminate the taste of that man.

When the foam in her mouth turned light pink, she finally stopped this self-torturing behavior.

Her hands on the edge of the sink, she closed her eyes in discomfort. Even if she could brush away the taste in her mouth, how could she remove the smell from inside her body, let alone the terrifying wolf tattoo?

After cleaning herself up, Gu Qingxin called Bai Qianqian. As soon as the call connected, the girl’s concerned voice immediately came through, “Gu Qingxin, where did you go last night? You didn’t get into any trouble, did you? Auntie and I were really worried about you.”

“Qianqian, I’m okay.” Gu Qingxin’s voice was somewhat listless.

Bai Qianqian had more important things to worry about, so she didn’t notice her unusual state. After a few seconds of silence, she said, “Qingxin, there’s something I think you need to know.”
