This is an extremely unfamiliar place for He Jiarui.
He Jiarui's eyes were drugged and she could hardly see anything. There were shadows all around her and the air was filled with a cold and damp smell, which made her feel very anxious.
"Wuwuwu..." She tried to call for help. Her wrists were tied behind her back, and the ropes were so tight that it hurt, and her blood flow was restricted.
Fear took over her mind.
The dark memories of her childhood that had long been forgotten came flooding back to her.
When He Jiarui was young, she was kidnapped by unidentified people. Ji Xuan went out to work at the time and she was alone at home. Someone knocked on the door and she thought it was her owner coming back. As a result, she was knocked unconscious with a club after opening the door. She was locked in a dark room for seven days and seven nights until Ji Xuan and the police rescued her.
Ji Xuan said that he rescued her by paying a ransom.
It was also from then on that she became more attached to Ji Xuan.
I had already forgotten about it.
But in the dark environment, she seemed to see her helpless childhood self again.
Who will save her?
When Lin She returned, Gu Huaiwei was curled up in a recliner, holding a half-edited script in her arms. She was peaceful in her sleep, her eyes closed, her breathing light and shallow, like a handful of other girls at school, unrecognizable in a crowd.
No sophistication, no aggression.
Gu Huaiwei had originally intended to wait for Lin She to come back and ask about the phone. But she was so sleepy, and the blanket on the chair was too soft, she just wanted to close her eyes and rest, but she didn't expect to fall asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.
When Lin She saw this scene, he stretched out his pale, bony hand, casting a shadow on Gu Huaiwei's sleeping face.
Gu Huaiwei had previously told Lin She to tell her as soon as he had any news after he returned.
Lin She then prepared to wake Huaiwei up as she requested.
Before he touched Gu Huaiwei's shoulder, He Xueyi grabbed Lin She's wrist.
"Let her rest. If there's anything, we can talk about it tomorrow."
Although He Xueyi's skin was snow-white, it had a bloody color. When his five fingers clasped Lin She's cold white wrist, they were two completely different temperatures.
"No." Lin She's idea was very simple. Gu Huaiwei asked him to report back, so he had to complete the task.
"Is work so important?" He Xueyi cast no shadow under the light. He looked empty. There was a faint blush at the corners of his eyes. His golden eyes looked at Lin She. "Ms. Manager, you've been staying up late every day lately. Please be a little considerate of the humans."
"Don't you want to open the gates of paradise earlier?"
“There’s no conflict.”
"Don't get in the way. Your presence reduces my work efficiency and is redundant." Lin She's dark green pupils were locked on He Xueyi. The fingertips of his other hand just lightly touched He Xueyi's hand, and two bleeding holes appeared on the back of He Xueyi's hand.
"Don't be so violent." He Xueyi stuck out her pink tongue and licked the blood off the back of her hand.
Their ways of doing things are completely different, and they can't stand each other's behavior.
Lin She still woke Gu Huaiwei up.
Gu Huaiwei woke up with a start, and the script she was revising in her hand slipped. He Xueyi bent down in time and caught the script that was about to fall.
"You are all here." Gu Huaiwei rubbed her sore eyes and glanced at the time on her mobile phone. It showed that it was 3 a.m.
He Xueyi returned the script to Gu Huaiwei.
"Ms. Manager, if you are tired, you can rest for a while."
"No need. Lin She is back. I have to work overtime tonight to keep up with the filming schedule." Gu Huaiwei's soft hair fell gently on her shoulders. She saw the obvious worry in He Xueyi's golden eyes. "It's getting late. You should go and get some rest first."
Bai Meimei has the most normal schedule among them. She goes to bed early and gets up early, and is full of energy every day. At this time, she is already sleeping soundly in the matchmaker's hut with her quilt wrapped around her.
"You are really two workaholics. Paradise made the right choice by choosing you." He Xueyi turned and left, returning the space in the hall to Lin She.
Lin She directly reported the results: "Ms. Gu, I copied the information from He Jiarui's phone."
"I knew you could do it." Gu Huaiwei climbed up from the recliner. She had just woken up from a nap and was feeling lazy all over.
In the middle of the night, even the chirping of insects outside the matchmaking agency had stopped. The hall seemed exceptionally quiet, with only the faint light from the computer screen reflected on Gu Huaiwei's face.
"Come here and import the information you copied into the computer." Gu Huaiwei lazily returned to his workstation, yawned, his eyes a little hazy, and he tapped the keyboard slowly.
Lin She pulled over an office chair and sat next to her, importing the information copied today into Gu Huaiwei's computer.
Gu Huaiwei's fingers slowly slid the mouse as she looked at the text message content copied from He Jiarui's mobile phone. Her eyes, which were originally a little sleepy and distracted, gradually focused and her expression became serious.
In the past two days, He Jiarui has been sending messages to Chen Liuxiang, asking her what the relationship between her and Lu Beijiu is.
He Jiarui: Is Lubeijiu the most special one in your heart?
He Jiarui: What on earth is the purpose of your pact with me? You keep us in the manor, but don't touch us, and don't let us lay eggs for you. Xiangxiang, I really can't see through you.
He Jiarui: Xiao Gao said that every time you travel far away, you are with a man. Is that man Lu Beijiu?
He Jiarui: If you really care about him, just terminate the contract with all of us and take only him back to the manor.
He Jiarui: If you treat everyone equally, I won’t expect you to give me both magnetism and love, but you can’t be special to only one person, otherwise I will seem cheap.
He Jiarui: Please tell me a clear answer. If I know it, I will give up and stop bothering you.
Chen Liuxiang's attitude towards He Jiarui was particularly cold.
She said that if He Jiarui wanted to return to the manor, they could rekindle their relationship, but if he wanted to separate completely, she would not stop him.
As for the magnetic value compensation, He Jiarui can set the price at will.
Gu Huaiwei held her face with one hand and speculated, "Do you think He Jiarui deliberately disappeared to attract Chen Liuxiang's attention and make her worry about her?"
"There is such a possibility." Lin She didn't quite understand the human thought process, but he had only seen the behavior of putting oneself in danger to attract the attention of others in the fragile sacrifices in the paradise.
"If that's the case, she's very naive."
Gu Huaiwei continued to read. Whenever He Jiarui was wronged by Chen Liuxiang, he would go to Ji Xuan to cry and seek comfort.
The conversation started out normal.
But because Ji Xuan was too pampered and obedient to her, what she said later was a bit over the line.
He Jiarui: I want to come back to you, but I have no reason to come back to you.
He Jiarui: Why are you just a small clerk? If your appearance were more perfect, if you were not so ordinary, if you had enough magnetism, we could live a happy life.
He Jiarui: Ultimately, it’s your fault.
Two hours after the message was sent, Ji Xuan replied to the last text message.
Ji Xuan: I’m sorry.
