I gently applied the ointment to her wound with a cotton swab, and she actually thanked me...

But when she pulled her foot back, the chain touched the wound again... Now, the ointment was useless...

I pursed my lips, considering whether or not to remove the chains from her...

If she doesn't run away, removing the chains isn't out of the question...

I said, "If you don't run away, I'll help you unlock the chains."

She asked me if I would really help her untie it.

I said, "Yes, as long as you don't run away, I'll untie you."

She said yes, she said she wouldn't run away.

I should trust her. Even if I don't, I should trust the security system in my house! Even if she tries to escape, she definitely won't get out of this house!

So I unlocked her chains...

Try to trust her this once!

Unexpectedly, after I unlocked her chains, she thanked me...

She's so adorable!!!

I asked her if there was anything she wanted, and I could buy it for her.

She said she didn't want anything in particular, she just wanted to finish the translation work she had taken on.

I looked at her, wondering if she was trying to secretly call for help while she was at work.

She sensed my worry and said she just wanted to finish what she started. She gave me her account password and said it was okay if she didn't continue. She asked me to log into her account and cancel the translation job, and if possible, apologize to the other party for her...

I went back to my study and logged into her account because she hadn't been online for several days. The other person had been urging her, leaving her messages asking why she hadn't been online, hadn't submitted her manuscript, and if she was having any difficulties. They told her she could talk to him about any problems she might have…

I was very unhappy. I went through all of our chat history. Fortunately, we only talked about work, and occasionally exchanged a few other things. There was nothing inappropriate...

I had absolutely no intention of replying to that person. I looked at her previous translation records and finished the translation work myself.

I translated and sent it to the other party, asking if there were any changes needed.

The other party said that my translation this time was particularly good and that I had made great progress.

Since there were no problems, I said I was going to log off.

The other party said they would transfer a commission to me and asked me to check it.

I logged off as soon as I received it. Who wants to chat with him?

I went to tell her that I had finished the translation work and the commission had been transferred.

She was surprised. She said the translation was very difficult and asked how I could finish it so quickly!

Is it difficult? No, it's quite simple...

However, I was pleased by her admiring gaze, so I said: "It's alright, not too difficult..."

She praised me for being amazing, saying she might not be able to finish it even if she worked on it all day...

I was really happy to be praised like that by her!

She asked me if I could give her some books to read, saying she was bored at home with nothing to do and wanted to read.

Such a small request can certainly be granted! I went to the study and got her a few books on knowledge.

She was very happy and thanked me again.

I'm finding her more and more adorable!! Watching her quietly reading, I think this is what true peace and tranquility look like...

Perhaps she was sleepy, because she fell asleep while reading. Only then did I dare to approach her, gently take the book from her hands, cover her with the blanket, and softly say "Goodnight"...

After that, our relationship became more harmonious, and she wasn't as afraid of me anymore.

I brought in breakfast, and she groggily woke up and asked me what time it was.

She looks adorable even when she's a little dazed!

I said it was 7:10, time to get up, wash up, and have breakfast.

I naturally served her a bowl of porridge, and she naturally accepted it.

But when she said "thank you" to me, I got upset again! Why did she have to say thank you? It felt like we were being too polite to each other, not close at all...

She asked me if I did all of this.

I said yes.

She said it was delicious; I've spoiled her rotten.

If I say it's delicious, then eat more. It would be better if you became spoiled; from now on, you'll only eat my cooking...

After watching her finish eating, I said, "I have to go to work now, you..."

She answered quickly: I'll stay home and read books, I won't go anywhere.

Her playful quick answer made me very happy, and it felt like our relationship had become even closer!

I saw her smile too! I asked, "Are you happy?"

She said she was very bored a few days ago, but now she has books to read, and she is very happy.

Seeing that she was happy, I tentatively asked if I could call her "Qiqi".

She said yes, explaining that since her parents passed away, no one has called her "Qiqi" anymore...

I could tell she missed her parents, and I felt so sorry for reminding her of those painful memories…

She said it was okay, her parents had passed away nine years ago, and she had been living alone ever since. If it weren't for me talking to her, she sometimes wouldn't say more than a few words all day...

I asked her if she had tried to make friends?

She was terrified, her body trembling uncontrollably. She said she was afraid of crowded places; when there were many people around, she was too afraid to speak. She said she was very scared...

Without thinking, I stepped forward and took her hand! I said, "It's okay! It's okay...don't be afraid...don't be afraid..."

She said she didn't know why; she used to be fine, but now she gets scared when she sees a lot of people, and she can't control it...

I said it's okay, and I pulled her into my arms, gently patting her back to comfort her. I said, "See, you can talk to me nicely, which means you're not afraid of me, right?"

She said, "Mmm."

She blushed and pulled away from my embrace when she realized she was still in my arms.
