Chapter 3, Chapter 127, IF1: Starting with this guy...

In the end, Kim Cho-wan still took the person back.

The apartment she rented was extremely small, so there wasn't much room for Yin Zhihua. Fortunately, he was perceptive enough to know that he was dirty and didn't dare to touch anything. He only sat obediently on the floor mat that Jin Chuwan had prepared for him after he had taken a shower and changed into clean clothes.

Yin Zhihua glanced at his bear-patterned nightgown, his face flushing slightly. It was the first time he had ever worn a dress, and the bottom felt empty, making him a little uncomfortable.

He wanted to wear pants, but after searching for a long time, Jin Chuwan could only find this one that he could barely fit into.

The faint fragrance emanating from the clothes made Yin Zhihua's face burn even hotter.

He glanced at the doorway; there was a clanging noise outside. It took a while before Jin Chuwan returned.

She held a thick, black rope in her hand and spoke calmly to Yin Zhihua.

"Hands out."

Yin Zhihua stared blankly at the thumb-thick nylon rope for a while. Although his face was very red, he still awkwardly reached out his hand.

"No, I didn't expect you to have this kind of..."

As Yin Zhihua was speaking, he was suddenly bound twice. Jin Chuwan showed no mercy, the loops were tied very tightly, and the other end was tied to the table leg. The length was only enough for him to lie down and sleep, making it difficult to even turn over.

Yin Zhihua now realized that she wasn't really interested; she was simply wary of him...

Thinking about it, he felt wronged again, and said dejectedly with his head down, "If you're not comfortable with this, you can tie another one around my neck. If you regret it, it's not too late to kick me out now. At worst, I'll freeze to death, and maybe I can go home after I die..."

Seeing his pale, weak, and self-destructive appearance, Jin Chuwan remained silent for a while before slowly answering.

"There's no need to go that far..." she said, standing up. "Anyway, there are security cameras in the house. Even if I'm unlucky enough to run into a heartless jerk, you won't be able to escape..."

It was getting late, so Jin Chuwan put the pepper spray from her bag under her pillow, then lifted the covers and lay down.

It was already past one o'clock. She was very tired and sleepy. What was even more annoying was that she had to work overtime again tomorrow. She had been doing this for half a month in a row. This kind of life made her feel exhausted and frustrated, and she didn't know when it would end.

A few days ago, her family called to say that her father was sick and asked her to send some money home, but her team leader kept refusing to approve her leave.

Thinking about it, Jin Chuwan sighed and closed her eyes.

After sitting alone for a while, tied up, Yin Zhihua finally lay down. He observed the crowded and somewhat messy room, and then took one last look at Jin Chuwan lying on the bed.

The faint sound of breathing reached Yin Zhihua's ears, but it made him feel sleepless.

After calming down, he suddenly realized that Jin Chuwan in this world didn't seem to be doing very well either. Although she didn't like to laugh before, she was always relaxed. But now, she seemed to sigh all the time.

I sigh when I open the door, I sigh when I look for something, and I even sigh while looking at my phone before going to sleep.

She didn't have many clothes, her room was small, and she looked thin and tired, which made him feel heartbroken and powerless.

He himself is now a penniless, homeless man with no identity or means of support. What can he do...?

Yin Zhihua didn't sleep a wink all night, staying awake until dawn.

Jin Chuwan woke up around six o'clock, but she had obviously forgotten that there was a man in the house and habitually stepped on him.

Then a man's wailing came from inside the room.

Yin Zhihua rolled around, his body bent over, causing the table to shake violently. Jin Chuwan, who had just woken up, hurriedly squatted down and looked at Yin Zhihua, whose eyes were red.

"Are you alright? Where did I step? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

Seeing that Jin Chuwan seemed to realize something and was about to pry open his thighs, Yin Zhihua hugged the blanket tightly.

"No...I'm fine..."

The man's eyes were filled with tears as he gritted his teeth.

Damn it, he might as well be insane! Ever since he came into this world, he's been tortured and broken, and even the last bit of his manly self-respect is about to crumble!

Yin Zhihua changed his posture and covered his face with both hands.

Damn, he was about to cry.

Seeing him in so much pain, Jin Chuwan felt a pang of guilt. She scratched her hair and said cautiously.

"Don't do this, why don't we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"

The man, scarred in every sense of the word, glanced at her resentfully before crawling back into bed.

After a while, Jin Chuwan heard a muffled voice from under the covers: "I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Jin Chuwan glanced at the time; more than ten minutes had passed since she started this commotion. She had a lot to do today, so she listened to Yin Zhihua and stopped paying attention to him.

After washing up, she prepared to leave, but before closing the door, she glanced at Yin Zhihua.

Jin Chuwan's place is not far from the company, only a 20-minute walk. However, she gets up early every day to go to the nearby residents' market to buy groceries, since she has to eat dinner when she gets home in the evening. To save money and for health reasons, she cooks for herself.

However, Jin Chuwan had other things to do today, and Yin Zhihua was still naked at home. Even if she was reluctant, she had to buy him a set of clothes to make do.

On her way home, Jin Chuwan bought some breakfast.

She ate her own portion on the way, and packed Yin Zhihua's portion in her bag to keep it from getting cold.

When she returned, Yin Zhihua seemed to have recovered. He was squatting on his makeshift bed on the floor, holding his blanket, deep in thought.

It wasn't until Kim Cho-wan handed him breakfast that he finally got his.

Yin Zhihua took it and wolfed it down; it was clear he was really hungry.

Jin Chuwan propped her chin up and stared at him from the ground.

"Eat slowly, no one will take it from you. These are some clothes I bought for you, try them on later to see if they fit. I can't help you much because my abilities are limited. You'd better cheer up as soon as possible. You can stay with me for now until we find your family. Of course, the premise is that you behave yourself. If I feel that something is wrong, I will call the police and kick you out immediately."

Kim Chu-wan's words were extremely indifferent and ruthless.

Yin Zhihua, biting into his crepe, nodded obediently after listening.

At this moment, he was just a useless man who lived off a woman. Even if Jin Chuwan only gave him a warning, or even if she treated him like a servant, he could only swallow his anger.

Perhaps because he slept in a warm bed all night, Yin Zhihua was still able to stubbornly insist on dying yesterday, but now he doesn't care at all.

All he wants to do now is stay by Kim Cho-man's side.

He felt that perhaps this was an opportunity given by God. They were destined to be apart in their previous lives, so God allowed him to come to this world to find Jin Chuwan again.

With this thought in mind, Yin Zhihua's fighting spirit suddenly ignited.

He began to fantasize about his future success and reaching the pinnacle of life, about owning a mansion and a sports car, about Jin Chuwan looking at him with new eyes, falling in love with him, and then falling in love with him, getting married and having children.

He wasn't greedy; he just wanted a son and a daughter, the girl like Wanwan, and the boy like him...

In just a short while, Yin Zhihua had already thought of names for the two children. He wouldn't have woken up if it weren't for a sudden pain in his hand.

Kim Cho-wan was untying the ropes binding his hands.

She kept her head down, but her gaze paused briefly when she saw the abrasions on his wrist.

Yin Zhihua tilted his head and smiled nonchalantly: "This little wound will heal in a bit, you don't need to worry about it."

Kim Chuwan nodded.

She glanced at Yin Zhihua and sighed again.

"I left some money on the table, not much, but enough for your meal."

After Jin Chuwan finished speaking, she looked up at the guy who claimed to be the male supporting character in the novel.

After resting, he looked much more energetic. She thought he was very handsome when he was weak, but now that he had recovered his complexion, he seemed even more amazing.

Fair skin, high nose bridge, clear eyes like glass, and rosy lips.

Jin Chuwan's cheeks flushed slightly as she looked at the screen.

Without filters or makeup, just a clean, bare face, and it looks this good.

Maybe he really did step out of a novel...

Jin Chuwan couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

She glanced at the rope on her hands and suddenly felt a strange sense of guilt, as if, in a contest of their ulterior motives, she was the one who should be tied up.

However, Kim Cho-man would never admit to something that would hurt her pride.

She stood up, slung her bag over her shoulder, and prepared to go to work, but as soon as she opened the door, she remembered something and turned back to look at Yin Zhihua.

“I only have one key, so if you go out, you'll have to figure out how to leave the door open. If you don’t want to, there are delivery phone numbers in the drawer.”

Jin Chuwan left after speaking, and Yin Zhihua, who was wiping his mouth, stared blankly at the closed door for a while.

To be honest, he felt that Jin Chuwan in this world was too unguarded.

He's a stranger no matter what, how can she just leave him at home like that? She should take him with her when she goes out.

What if he stays at home and steals things?

Yin Zhihua squatted on the floor, filled with righteous indignation. After he finished venting, he went to look at the clothes that Jin Chuwan had bought for him.

Although it didn't suit his taste at all, he inexplicably liked it more and more the more he looked at it.

Well...

Could it be because this is the first time Jin Chuwan has bought him clothes?

Yin Zhihua blushed as he glanced at the men's clothes. The feeling of being taken care of by his wife in this domestic life made his chest feel inexplicably warm.

It feels so good to have someone you like by your side, with no one competing with you for them.

After changing his clothes, he stretched. Although he had been wandering for several days, he felt refreshed after resting. He carefully observed the house where Jin Chuwan was staying.

To be honest, it's not as good as the room she rented in college.

The room was pitifully small. It was already difficult enough for her to live alone, and now with this makeshift bed on the floor, there was almost no room to put her feet down.

Yin Zhihua glanced around the room and sighed, mimicking Jin Chuwan's expression. No wonder she left so calmly; there was nothing in the house except for personal belongings. Even a thief would be bewildered.

Moreover, it's clear that she doesn't have time to take care of herself. The whole room is very cold and deserted, without any decorations or plants, just a bed and a set of tables and chairs.

Yin Zhihua watched for a while, then got up and rolled up his makeshift bed on the floor.

This is a three-bedroom house that has been divided into three rooms for rent. Yin Zhihua went out to take a look and felt extremely disgusted. Even when he and his mother were wandering around, they had never lived in such a crowded place.

He found his suit with a mournful expression. There were a few UnionPay cards in the pocket, but no matter how he looked at them, they weren't his.

He also tried going to the bank, but the password was wrong, the name was wrong, and the ID number was wrong.

Yin Zhihua was troubled by the card, unsure whether the problem lay with him or with the card.

But there's no use thinking about it now. He plans to clean the room thoroughly before Jin Chuwan comes back.

Although he's now living off a woman, he wants to be a useful gigolo.

He will never let Kim Cho-wan regret taking him home!
