Chu Linyuan took the wine and refilled Si Jin's cup:

"Jingjing, this is a wine that a business partner gave me a few days ago. I heard it's sweeter than regular red wine."

I know you like it, so I saved it especially for you. Drink some more.

“Okay.” Si Jin replied without fear.

Over the years, his alcohol tolerance has improved slightly, and he no longer gets drunk after just two drinks like he did in the first world.

Although he still couldn't drink much, he was quite confident that he could outdrink a young man like Chu Linyuan.

So he picked up his wine glass and clinked glasses with Chu Linyuan in a generous manner.

Unexpectedly, after a few rounds of drinks, he was the one who collapsed first.

Si Jin had no idea that there was medicine in the wine.

They were completely unaware that Chu Linyuan had taken the antidote beforehand.

After everyone collapsed, Chu Linyuan put down the wine glass in his hand, his deep eyes sparkling with starlight.

He stared intently and longingly in Si Jin's direction for a long time before turning his gaze away and slowly lighting the birthday candles.

Under the warm, soft light, bow your head and make a wish:

I hope that from now on, my brother will be with me for every birthday.

Throughout his life, he experienced power struggles, fratricide, and cutthroat competition in the business world.

He had long since become a lone traveler in the darkness, and the moment he opened his eyes was a battlefield of deceit and treachery.

He thought he was used to being hurt and no longer longed for redemption.

However, when he truly encountered the light, he realized how greedy he had been.

His precious one, in this life, the next life, and the life after that.

For all eternity, he can only belong to her!

Thinking this, Chu Linyuan blew out the candle.

Then, he turned around, picked up Si Jin, and carried him through several doors into his basement.

… …

… …

When Si Jin woke up again, she found that the light around her was even dimmer.

This isn't a bedroom; there are only a few dim lamps for lighting.

He frowned slightly, tentatively sat up, and found himself lying on a large bed covered with rose petals.

His limbs were also bound in pale gold chains.

With the slightest movement, the chain will be activated, producing a pleasant tinkling sound.

Looking further, you'll see that the walls around you are covered with his photos.

There are close-ups of his hands and his profile.

There are also images of him actively playing basketball, and quietly reading a book outside the corridor.

One after another, they were neatly arranged and hung on all four walls.

If you look closely, the photo also indicates when it was taken.

Si Jin used his divine power to search through the photos and found that they were taken from the first day he met Chu Linyuan until now.

So, it was that little brat who locked him up here?!

Just then, several clear footsteps came from outside.

Si Jin looked up and saw Chu Linyuan's figure gradually appearing at the door.

He held a cup of hangover soup in his hand, his eyes both clear and cloudy.

Most importantly, Xiao Tianjun actually wore the formal dress he gave him.

The clothes fit surprisingly well.

Every step she takes exudes charm and elegance.

Chu Linyuan held the hangover soup in front of Si Jin, his tone still obedient:

"Jingjing, does your headache still hurt? Have some hangover soup."

Si Jin shoved the teacup out of his hand.

Splash—

The glass fell to the ground, spilling the hangover soup inside, which emitted a faint smell of ginger.

Chu Linyuan glanced at him regretfully, a hint of grievance flashing in his eyes:

"You...don't like it?"

I'm sorry, what kind of soup do you like? I'll make it tomorrow, okay?

Could you please not rush me to leave today?

"Jinjin, I love you, I really love you so much."

As he spoke, the grievance in the boy's eyes gradually turned into madness.

He boldly stepped forward and grabbed Si Jin's hands.

The chain jingled...
