Chapter 64: Good boy, is there anything else that makes you uncomfortable?
The more I coaxed her, the stronger the urge to cry became.
Sheng Baili buried her face in the man's chest, unable to stop crying. Her body twitched and her thin back trembled.
She grabbed his shirt with both hands and wiped almost all of her tears on Lu Zhouyan's body, making his clothes a little messy.
Lu Zhouyan heard her rapid breathing and hiccups from crying, and patted Sheng Baili's back lovingly.
"How did you find me?" Sheng Baili raised his head and asked while sobbing.
A pretty face had turned red from crying, and her long eyelashes were stained with tears and trembled slightly.
His face was full of pity and sadness, so fragile that it seemed like it would disappear in the next second.
Lu Zhouyan slightly bent his index finger and wiped away the cold tears on her face. He sighed and murmured, "I've been wronged."
There was no answer to her question, but Sheng Baili didn't feel ignored.
A broad, slender hand with a sense of control gently stroked his face. Sheng Baili felt at ease and rubbed his hand as if relying on him.
"Let's go back, okay?" The girl raised her wet eyes, which were filled with anxiety and fear. Her voice was nasal and a little bit crying, and unspeakably soft.
She gently pulled Lu Zhouyan's suit jacket and said, "Take me away."
This is scary.
Lu Zhouyan stared into those watery eyes, and his hand trembled nervously.
Lu Zhouyan closed his eyes, suppressing the rage in his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, his gloomy expression returned to normal. He raised his hand and rubbed Sheng Baili's soft hair.
"Well, let's go home."
Lu Zhouyan grabbed the girl's thin shoulders, took her into the helicopter, then turned his head and gave the manager a look.
The matter was explained at the beginning.
The steward nodded respectfully to show that he understood.
Just before stepping into the helicopter, Sheng Baili suddenly stopped.
Lu Zhouyan asked: "What's wrong?"
"Yes, there is something I didn't take."
Sheng Baili grabbed the corner of Lu Zhouyan's clothes and led him in another direction.
The villagers were in a state of confusion, looking back and forth between the two of them, but the man who came was obviously very powerful and not someone they could afford to offend, so they had no choice but to listen to the leader and not cause any trouble.
Zhao's mother cried and screamed, holding Zhuang Fang's hand and asking her what was going on.
"Your daughter Bai Li already has a husband, and you still come to promise her to our family. Return the betrothal money!" Zhao's mother yelled.
Zhuang Fang was also caught off guard. She stared blankly at Sheng Baili's departing back and tried to chase after him, but was stopped by a sturdy bodyguard.
"Ms. Zhuang, please stay." The steward called her with a smile.
"Who are you? What are you doing to me?"
Manager: "Wait until the police arrive before you tell me."
Sheng Baili returned to the dilapidated earthen house. In the dark room, she picked up a black scarf from the ground.
It was covered with dust and looked a bit gray. Sheng Baili brushed off the dust.
"Boss, please go out and wait for me, I'll change my clothes." Sheng Baili said.
The door was closed gently, and the feeling of being imprisoned once again enveloped her. She wondered if there were any mice watching her in the dark. Sheng Baili's teeth trembled a few times, and she quickly changed into her original clothes.
After coming out, Lu Zhouyan recognized that the scarf she was holding was his own, and said with lowered eyes, "If you like it, I'll go back and buy you a new one."
"No need." Sheng Baili held the scarf and liked it very much. "I want this one."
She held the scarf in one hand and held the corner of Lu Zhouyan's clothes with the other. Perhaps because she felt insecure, she didn't let go.
Lu Zhouyan spread his hands and placed them in front of her.
Sheng Baili was stunned for two seconds.
Hold, hold hands
With almost no hesitation, Sheng Baili placed his hand on her. His large hand wrapped around her, not with lust, but just holding her vainly.
Sheng Baili unconsciously moved closer to him.
It was not until he sat down on the helicopter that Sheng Baili felt that he had returned to the real world.
A few hours ago, she was running alone along the map of rivers and mountains, and now she was sitting on a departing plane.
Unbelievable.
Sheng Baili calmed down and her flustered mind finally came back to normal. She looked up and glanced at Lu Zhouyan who was on the phone.
There was a huge roar of helicopters overhead, but Lu Zhouyan's voice was clearer.
He simply responded with a few "hmm", and there was no warmth in his voice.
Sheng Baili then realized that Lu Zhouyan's cold eyes were bloodshot, his brows were relaxed, but he looked obviously tired and exhausted, and it looked like he hadn't slept for several days.
The originally narrow and long double eyelids have now turned into single eyelids.
When he opened his eyelids casually, the glance that came over was filled with cold punishment.
It makes people feel weak in the knees.
Sheng Baili's eyes slowly moved down and saw his dry lips, which were slightly chapped.
Sheng Baili picked up a mineral water bottle, opened it, and handed it to Lu Zhouyan after he hung up the phone.
"You haven't had water in a few days?" Sheng Baili tilted his head, "Your lips are so dry."
What for?
Lu Zhouyan was unaware.
But he was so busy looking for someone these two or three days that he really forgot to drink water.
When Lu Zhouyan took the bottle of water, his eyes paused on Sheng Baili's wrist.
It had been covered by the sleeves before, so he didn't see anything unusual.
Only now did I see that the pair of thin wrists were covered with circles of red marks. Because of the white skin, the red marks looked particularly shocking, as if they had suffered some kind of inhuman abuse.
Lu Zhouyan: "What's wrong with your wrist?"
Sheng Baili subconsciously withdrew his hand, but was held by Lu Zhouyan, who rubbed Sheng Baili's wrist in circles with his thin fingers.
Lu Zhouyan: "Pain?"
Sheng Baili shook his head. "It was very uncomfortable at first. Zhuang Fang tied my hands and feet with ropes. It was very uncomfortable and I couldn't move. But now I don't feel anything."
The bony hand rubbed her wrist, causing a tingling sensation. Sheng Baili pulled his hand back and smiled nonchalantly.
"It's okay, I'm not hurt."
Lu Zhouyan's thin eyelids drooped as he recalled the other person's helpless groan in his mind not long ago.
[Ouch... It hurts, it hurts so much.]
[Stop spanking my butt. Ugh, I want to die.]
[Help, someone please save me.]
Each cry was more miserable than the last. The painful moans were very heartbreaking to hear, and even the last syllables were trembling.
My heart felt like being stabbed by a needle.
Lu Zhouyan turned his head and asked: "Where else are you injured?"
"Hmm..." Sheng Baili blinked.
The pain in her body continued, but she didn't show it.
Lu Zhouyan wanted her to speak, so he lowered his voice and spoke in a gentle tone with a hint of coaxing.
"Be good, tell me where else you feel uncomfortable"
Sheng Baili was drowning in the gentle lake in the other person's eyes, and knocked his head with the mineral water bottle in a daze.
"Why do you hit yourself?" Lu Zhouyan gently reproached her, and put his broad hand on her head, rubbing it gently.
Sheng Baili put down the water bottle.
Then she whispered, "My ankle hurts a little, and my feet are so tired when I walk. My knee hurts a little, but it's bearable. The most painful part is my butt. Last night, Zhuang Fang used a stick to spank my butt. It really hurts..."
It would have been fine if she didn't say anything, Sheng Baili only cared about eating and not being beaten, she was quite strong. But once she opened her mouth and someone was listening carefully, she couldn't help but pour out everything like pouring out beans.
"They didn't give me food, and I had a stomachache from hunger. I finally had a meal, but I didn't expect they would ask me to get married so soon! I couldn't stand it last night, so I ran away by myself, but I was still caught."
Sheng Baili whispered as he pulled up his trouser legs, revealing his bruised calves. He concluded, "I thought I was going to die."
Lu Zhouyan's eyes lightly swept across the scarred calf, and his eyes were stung.
While they were talking, the helicopter landed on the flat ground near the airport, and under Lu Zhouyan's instructions, the cabin door slowly opened.
Lu Zhouyan lifted his legs and went down first, then walked to Sheng Baili.
Sheng Baili held his hand and walked down the helicopter, but Lu Zhouyan suddenly stopped moving.
"Can you walk?" he asked calmly.
The wind from the airport was blowing fiercely behind her. Sheng Baili staggered a few steps due to the wind. The man mistakenly thought that she could not walk, so he just picked her up.
In a moment of distraction, Sheng Baili was already in his arms like a princess.
Lu Zhouyan had broad shoulders and strong forearms. Sheng Baili leaned in his arms, feeling his full chest rising and falling slightly with his breathing.
Beneath the shirt, there is a sense of surging power.
Sheng Baili originally wanted to say that he could walk, but the feeling of being held seemed quite good, so he shut up.
Lu Zhouyan walked steadily, without any bumps. When they were so close to him, Sheng Baili could even smell a pleasant scent of cologne.
Soon, they boarded a plane, where several stewardesses and flight attendants, as well as a doctor, were waiting.
The plane was luxurious and spacious, and Sheng Baili guessed that it should be Lu Zhouyan's private plane.
Lu Zhouyan asked Sheng Baili to lie down on the bed, and then signaled with his eyes for the doctor to come and take care of him.
The plane slowly began to move. Sheng Baili was a little surprised: "Can it fly so soon?"
The flight attendant smiled and replied, "Yes, this is the private airline that General Secretary Lu just ordered, and it has been put into use."
Sheng Baili was shocked for two seconds, and because there were several doctors around her, she pulled her pants up to her knees.
There were bruises all over the fair legs, and some places were swollen and red, with no healthy flesh left.
The doctor dipped a piece of gauze in the medicine, wiped the wound, and applied the medicine skillfully and gently.
Occasionally, when he touched a painful spot, Sheng Baili couldn't help but reach out and grab a ball of air, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.
After applying the medicine, the doctor left. Seeing her painful expression, Lu Zhouyan helped her pull down her pants.
Lu Zhouyan: "It must be painful."
Sheng Baili rubbed his coccyx, tears welling up beside his round eyes. This time he stopped trying to be stubborn and just said "um" obediently.
The bed in the room was very big, and there were only two of them in the quiet environment. Sheng Baili tugged at his coat slightly.
"Boss." Sheng Baili sat up and looked up at him and asked, "Have you been looking for me for a long time?"
"It's not bad."
"You're lying." Sheng Baili stared at his face and murmured, "You look much more haggard."
Lu Zhouyan didn't comment. His dark eyes scanned her worried expression. "Really?"
Sheng Baili nodded and urged him softly: "Boss, did you not sleep well? Now it's okay, go and have a good rest."
After hesitating for two seconds, Sheng Baili pursed her lips and smiled shyly, then thanked him softly.
"Thank you for coming to see me."
Before leaving, Lu Zhouyan stood at the door, his dark and heavy eyes fell on Sheng Baili, and said something.
"You sleep too."
Sheng Baili immediately made a move to lie down obediently on the bed.
"Okay, I'm going to sleep. Good night."
It was still broad daylight, but when the lights were turned off, it was pitch dark, and Sheng Baili subconsciously felt that it was already night.
The door closed and Sheng Baili was the only one left in the room.
Because his butt was still painful, Sheng Baili turned over and lay on his side, hugging the quilt.
What happened in the past two days seemed like a dream.
But Sheng Baili can recall every detail clearly when he closes his eyes.
Horrible and absurd.
If Lu Zhouyan had not arrived in time, she might have been forced to marry a man she didn't like at all and was trapped in a poor place, looking for death.
[Don't be afraid, host, everything is fine now. ]
[The call in the car should be from the male protagonist. He couldn't get in touch with you and realized something was wrong so he came to find you.] Haicha analyzed.
She didn't forget to bring her cell phone when she left, so maybe Lu Zhouyan really sent her a lot of messages.
But now I can't see it.
Sheng Baili felt a little regretful.
There are so few people in mainland China who have delayed calls. Do they send a lot of messages when they are worried?
Sheng Baili lay on her side on the bed. As she thought, she felt sleepy and closed her eyes.
[Sizzle—]
A cold electronic sound suddenly flashed through Sheng Baili's mind, giving him a fright.
The system is finally restored
The next second, the electronic voice started speaking.
【System repair has been completed. 】
[During maintenance, the male protagonist's favorability towards the host was detected +2+3+5+2+10.......]
Sheng Baili: “…”
The series of increases caught her off guard.
The broadcast lasted for a long time.
[As of now, the male protagonist's favorability towards the host is 80, congratulations to the host. ]
[The favorability is too high, the increase is limited and difficult to detect, and it will only be reported at important nodes in the future. 】
"......"
80?
Sheng Baili had no idea about this number, but when she recalled that Lu Zhouyan's favorability towards her was 0 at the beginning, he seemed quite gentle and friendly.
[Special reminder, a favorability of 0-20 means you are acquainted but not familiar with each other, 20-40 means you are good friends, 40-60 means you are in a flirtatious relationship, 60-80 means you are in a passionate relationship, and values above 80 are too high and the sample data is too small, but preliminary judgment shows that this means the male protagonist wants to spend his life with you. ]
Shock, shock.
【A special reward is now issued to you. 】
The electric current crackled for a while, and Sheng Baili waited patiently.
The sound of the electric current disappeared, and she entered the sea of consciousness and saw nothing.
[The rewards have been distributed. Please check them carefully. You can return to the original world after your favorability reaches 100. ]
Sheng Baili: “…”
The reward is just a ball of air in the space.
The electronic voice call ended and Haicha came back. After seeing the updated favorability panel, Haicha and Sheng Baili were shocked and surprised.
[It's just this juicy 80.]
[Over the period of ambiguity and passionate love]
[There is not even a transition, as expected of a male protagonist who has never been in a relationship, his love is so overwhelming. 】
"......"
Downtime.
[The rewards haven’t been distributed yet. The system is acting up again. I’ll go ask.]
Haicha disappeared. Sheng Baili lay quietly on the bed, as if he had been hit by a huge surprise.
But there was also an inexplicable feeling of disappointment rising in my heart that the mission was going to be completed so soon.
In the original world, Sheng Baili was an orphan who lived in an orphanage for more than ten years. She was admitted to the Film Academy because of her beauty. Many people paid attention to her, but she had almost no real friends.
When I was in the welfare home, I often didn’t have enough to eat. After I grew up, I lived on sponsorship and scholarships from kind-hearted people. My monthly living expenses were very low, and I could only eat at cheap stalls in the cafeteria. I never went out to eat or have dinner together.
The peaceful life has no twists and turns, but it is also as quiet as a stagnant pool of water, without any vitality.
Sheng Baili held the quilt tightly in his arms, as if he was holding on to something.
There seems to be no point in going back to the original world.
Depressed and lonely emotions intertwined and wove into an airtight web that wrapped her up in it. The net became tighter and tighter, and Sheng Baili could hardly breathe.
This is not some empty novel world, this is where she wants to stay forever.
The drowsiness brought about by emotions such as fear and panic gradually set in, and the clear consciousness gradually became chaotic.
......
[No, don't come over, it's so dark, don't lock me up here.]
[Woo woo, you disgusting mouse, stop calling.]
[Help, this is so scary, I want to leave, can someone help me?]
[I feel like vomiting. Why did you bring me here...]
The sound of crying and screaming heart echoed in his mind, and Lu Zhouyan opened his eyes instantly. Then he got up from the bed, bent his index finger, and knocked lightly on Sheng Baili's door.
No response.
But the nightmare-like moans continued, and the other party was sobbing quietly, with only pain in his soft voice.
"No, no rat!"
"..Don't eat me."
Not knowing what scene he dreamed about, Sheng Baili's body twitched unconsciously, and his fingers trembled as if they were weakened.
Suddenly, a warm and dry touch gripped her.
The soothing action gave Sheng Baili a great sense of security. The convulsions of her body gradually stopped and she instinctively murmured in her sleep.
"...Uh-huh."
The slightly cool pink fingertips were rubbed neither lightly nor heavily, and Sheng Baili slowly opened her eyes. In the dim light, she saw the familiar cold outline, and the other party was looking down at her.
Sheng Baili's fingers moved subconsciously, but they were held even tighter.
Just now she dreamed that she was locked in a dark room. There were many rats in the room, with scary green eyes, watching her in the night...
As I thought about it, my scalp started to go numb and crystal tears started to fall from the corners of my eyes.
Lu Zhouyan: "I had a nightmare"
The low and gentle voice carries the power to embrace everything, but it only makes the desire to vent stronger.
Tears rolled down to the corners of his mouth, and Sheng Baili tasted the salty taste. The fear of being imprisoned overcame his reason, and the strong sense of uneasiness made the shaky string in his heart break instantly.
Sheng Baili suddenly sat up and wrapped her slender arms around the man's narrow and thin waist.
I pressed my cheek against his abdomen, feeling the warmth inside, and rubbed against it like a small animal to keep warm.
"It's so dark, don't turn off the light." A sweet voice murmured softly, as if acting coquettishly.
Lu Zhouyan picked up the remote control beside him and turned on the light. As if he was very satisfied with her dependence on him, Lu Zhouyan raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head as a reward.
"Okay...what else do you want me to do, huh?"
