Everything's been fine all along, so why did he suddenly go crazy today?

The chains loosened, and Jing Baisen held Liu Nian close, his large foot brushing against Liu Nian's ankle. Not touching the cold chains made him feel somewhat uneasy.

He held Liu Nian tightly, unwilling to let go at all.

Things are different now than before. Without that iron chain, Liu Nian might escape if he's not careful.

Jing Baisen couldn't sleep well all night because he was thinking about this.

Little did he know that Liu Nian had no intention of running away at all.

The reason I got angry yesterday was just an excuse to vent my frustrations.

Jing Baisen has kept him locked up for long enough, and he's shown him enough sincerity. Does he really think he can be locked up forever?

When Liu Nian woke up, he looked directly at Jing Baisen, who was still holding him.

Liu Nian sat up, looked at him with his eyelids lowered, and said, "Alright, stop pretending to be asleep."

Jing Baisen's breathing seemed to become a little heavier before he opened his eyes.

Liu Nian moved his legs.

For once, there wasn't a single chain on his feet when he got up, which made Liu Nian feel relaxed, but also a little uneasy.

He just kept moving his legs, looking at Jing Baisen, without saying anything more.

He didn't speak, and neither did Jing Baisen.

After what seemed like an eternity, Liu Nian finally said, "From now on, don't lock it. This isn't right. If you don't believe me, go out and tell people about this, and see who thinks it's normal."

Jing Baisen seemed somewhat dissatisfied, unwilling to listen to him, and even less willing to pay him any attention.

Liu Nian poked his shoulder again and said, "Did you even understand that?!"

Jing Baisen was annoyed and didn't want him to touch him at all.

Liu Nian was both amused and exasperated. She hugged him from behind and said, "I'm so fat, no one would want me if I went out. What are you worried about?"

Jing Baisen didn't think Liu Nianpang was fat; he thought what he said was completely unbelievable.

Liu Nian released Jing Baisen.

Jing Baisen felt a pang of unease when he felt himself being released, but he was also a little resentful and didn't want to turn around and look at Liu Nian.

Therefore, he didn't know why Liu Nian suddenly let go of him, or what Liu Nian was doing.

The only thing he could notice was that Liu Nian, who had broken free of his chains, had not left the room.

Time is taking too long.

Jing Baisen felt he had waited for a long time, and finally...

A warm body then wrapped around his back.

Then, Liu Nian's hand went around his waist, and his chin rested on his shoulder.

The hand that was around his waist was clenched and placed against Jing Bosen's lower abdomen.

Liu Nian: "Can you answer a few questions for me? If you answer them correctly, I'll give you a reward."

Jing Baisen knew that even if Liu Nian worked hard, he wouldn't have much money, so the reward he gave him was definitely nothing.

But even if it wasn't much, Jing Baisen still wanted it.

Jing Baisen: "...Then ask away."

Liu Nian hugged him tighter and asked, "Can I be you?"

Jing Baisen's eyes flickered. "Yes."

Liu Nian: "Could it just be me?"

Jing Baisen: "Just you."

Liu Nian: "If you cheat on me one day, then it won't be an iron chain that can hold me back."

Jing Baisen's throat moved, and he turned his head to look at Liu Nian.

Liu Nian looked at him, his eyes darting around, and said, "I can give you another chain, but at the same time, I will also chain you up."

Jing Baisen's heart was pounding.

Liu Nian lowered his eyes and released his hand, revealing a ring lying prominently in his palm.

Jing Baisen recognized it at a glance; it was the same ring from back then.

Liu Nian fiddled with the ring on her finger and asked him, "Will you marry me?"

Jing Baisen is getting married and is in a hurry to hold the wedding.

But Liu Nian was not happy, feeling that he was too fat to look good in a suit.

Even when Jing Baisen suggested getting their marriage certificate abroad, Liu Nian refused, saying the wedding photos would definitely not look good.

Jing Baisen was extremely anxious and asked him, "So when are we getting married?"

Liu Nian sat at the dining table, stirring his porridge, and said, "...Of course, we'll wait until I lose weight, maybe twenty pounds. Once I lose twenty pounds, we'll get married and take wedding photos."

Jing Baisen felt that what he said was unrealistic.

“I’m not fat!” Jing Baisen said.

Liu Nian rolled her eyes at him, then ignored him completely and continued drinking her porridge.

Jing Baisen: "...Drink less, porridge makes you fat."

Liu Nian: "...Get lost!"

After saying that, Liu Nian took the porridge and left.

Jing Baisen slumped into a chair in anger, watched Liu Nian walk upstairs, and said to the housekeeper, "...Go and get a batch of fitness equipment."

The fitness equipment arrived, but Liu Nian was too lazy to move; he would only run a few steps before stopping.

He has to go to work and won't be back for lunch; he eats his work lunch there.

Since Liu Nian passed away, the company's work meals have become less oily and less salty, and mostly consist of seafood. Even if there are chicken legs, they are skinned.

Liu Nian overheard someone in the company saying that...

"Our meals have been so good lately! It's just a little lacking in oil and fat."

Why is the skin removed from this chicken leg?

"Who knows? Oh well, let's eat."

Liu Nian looked at the skinless chicken leg and raised an eyebrow.

Just then, my phone rang; it was a message from Jing Baisen.

They asked if they could come and pick him up.

Ever since Liu Nian started working, Jing Baisen has been posting this message every day, but Liu Nian doesn't want to be so high-profile, so he hasn't agreed to it.

Liu Nian stared at his phone and typed, "No."

Feeling incredibly uncomfortable, Jing Baisen returned to his room, picked up the scale Liu Nian usually used, and examined it from all angles.

When Jing Baisen stood up, he found that he was more than ten kilograms heavier than Liu Nian was now.

If he doesn't reduce it, why should Liu Nian reduce it?

As soon as he went outside, Jing Baisen ran into Jing Bailin.

Jing Bolin is in love again today. He's happy to see everyone and seems to be flying. He strode up to Jing Bosen.

But who knew that as soon as Jing Baisen saw his face, he remembered what he had said about Liu Nianpang.

Jing Bolin had just walked up to him happily and called him "Big Brother" when Jing Bosen slapped him on the head, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground.

Jing Baisen didn't even glance at him again and strode away.

When Liu Nian returned home that evening, he saw Jing Bolin looking sullen and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
