cage
The clear eyes are filled with deep emotions, which overflow with slow blinks.
Zhou Min quietly looked back at Zhou Qiting, whose eyes were gleaming with seductive desire. He did not avoid her naked and straightforward gaze. After a moment of silence, he leaned forward and sealed his unspeakable feelings in a gentle kiss.
But just as he tasted a hint of sweetness, Zhou Min's shoulder was pushed away by the person in front of him.
Zhou Qiting's face was still flushed, but the lust in her eyes had disappeared.
What she wanted at this moment was for Zhou Min to personally admit his feelings for her, but this man just refused to say anything.
"Put me down."
It was a cold tone without any ups and downs, and Zhou Min could hear the hidden displeasure.
She knew what the problem was, but her eyes still dimmed a little. She slowly pulled out her hand that was still buried in the warmth and obediently relaxed the strength that was holding Zhou Yiting.
"Hmm..." The slow withdrawal still caused a muffled groan, and the still sensitive body couldn't help but tremble.
After Zhou Yiting calmed down a little, Zhou Min helped her land gently on the ground, but as soon as she touched the floor, Zhou Yiting couldn't stand firmly. Seeing this, Zhou Min hurriedly exerted force to catch her in his arms.
Zhou Qiting took a deep breath, calmed himself down, pushed away Zhou Min's arms, tidied himself up briefly, and left the room without even looking at Zhou Min again.
Zhou Min stood there in a daze until the heavy sound of the door of the bedroom next door closing was heard. Her body seemed to have lost all strength and she turned around and leaned against the wall.
Feeling the remaining body temperature on her back, Zhou Min couldn't help but feel tears in her eyes, and a feeling of powerlessness enveloped her.
Zhou Min slowly slid down to sit on the floor, curled up his body, and buried his head in his knees. He used this posture that gave him a little sense of security to vainly resist the pain in his heart.
She couldn't love recklessly, but she also couldn't resist the attraction. While she was despising her own dirty soul, she was also enjoying the pleasure that didn't belong to her.
He was so despicable and hesitant, pushing Zhou Qiting away again and again.
Could it be that his existence itself was a mistake? Zhou Min pondered in confusion.
We mistakenly came into this world and were abandoned. We mistakenly trusted the wicked and fell into hell.
He mistakenly used a false identity to deceive a relationship that he did not deserve, causing Zhou Qiting to suffer undeserved disaster.
If only I could disappear, disappear in a gunshot, disappear after a beating, disappear in the cold winter month when I was born.
After a long time, Zhou Min raised his head, wiped the tears from his cheeks with the back of his hand, stood up, picked up the scattered wet wipes, and cleaned up the mess on the ground.
She hooked the pair of high-heeled shoes that Zhou Qiting had left behind with her left fingertips, walked out of the room, came to the door of Zhou Qiting's bedroom, bent down and gently placed the shoes at the door, turned and walked downstairs.
When she reached the stairs, she was a little surprised. The bodyguards who had been guarding the corner of the stairs were gone, and there was no living person on the entire third and second floors.
Zhou Qiting was mentally prepared to accept any action he took against her, and even planned to put his own life in his hands, so she withdrew all the bodyguards.
Zhou Min raised his hands and traced the lines on his palms with his eyes.
How can I hold that precious heart with my hands stained with sin?
-
Zhou Min originally thought that after the unpleasant ending yesterday, Zhou Qiting would not see her again in the short term.
But she was wrong.
When she was taken into Zhou Yiting's bedroom by bodyguards late at night, she saw a cage she had never seen before placed less than two meters away from the bed.
The cage was made of dull metal, and the railings were carved with intricate rose branches, faintly emitting an icy light.
With a light "click", the lock of the cage door opened. Zhou Min's eyes swept across the keyhole hidden in the patterns without leaving a trace. Then he was pushed into the cage with his shoulders lowered and the cage door closed.
After watching the bodyguard leave after completing his mission, she turned around and carefully examined the object she had just glanced at.
In the corner of the cage stood a silver dish filled with water. In the center was a satin cushion, slightly large, but not large enough for a person to lie flat on. On top of it lay a thin silk blanket, clearly tossed in there carelessly.
Dog cage, dog bowl, dog kennel... Zhou Min raised his hand and touched the collar around his neck, grinning.
It’s quite complete.
She didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and sat cross-legged on the cushion, straightened her back, and calmly waited for what might happen to her next.
About half an hour later, the door was opened again.
In a quiet room, even the slightest noise is more noticeable to someone concentrating.
Zhou Min's eyes were focused on the short corridor leading to the bedroom door. Until he saw the familiar figure, he quickly lowered his eyelashes and looked away, pretending to be indifferent, but in fact he pricked up his ears to listen carefully to all the movements coming from that direction.
Zhou Yiting walked straight through the cloakroom into the bathroom without stopping and closed the door.
The long distance and winding road made it impossible for Zhou Min to judge Zhou Qiting's movements from the sound, so time seemed to stretch infinitely in his anxious mood.
Until he heard the bathroom door being pushed open again, Zhou Min lowered his eyes, his nerves tightening little by little as the light footsteps gradually approached.
A body that had just emerged from the bath came closer with warm steam rising from it. He lowered his eyes to catch a glimpse of a pair of feet in soft-soled velvet slippers standing by the bed. The delicate ankles and calves not covered by the bathrobe were so white that they were dazzling. Then the bathrobe slipped to the ground, and the rich scent warmed by body temperature filled his nose. Zhou Min couldn't help but clench his hands hanging by his sides.
Soon, after a slight sound of a switch being pressed, the lights in the room suddenly dimmed, leaving only a night light on the bedside that emitted a dim light.
Then there was a rustling sound of fabric rubbing against each other, and the room returned to silence.
After waiting for a while, Zhou Min raised his head cautiously.
Zhou Yiting was lying on the bed with his back to her, half covered with a thin silk quilt.
The hazy warm light outlined Zhou Qiting's silhouette. The curves of her shoulders and neck were particularly soft in the dim light. The beams of light slowly flowed along her spine into the gaps in her nightgown.
The weather was getting colder. Although the temperature in the room was kept constant, Zhou Min couldn't help but frown when he saw Zhou Qiting's thin back exposed outside the quilt.
If you don’t cover yourself with the quilt properly, your hands and feet will be cold when you wake up tomorrow.
But considering the current delicate relationship between the two, Zhou Min would seem too concerned if he reminded her out loud, and at that distance Zhou Min could not reach the corner of Zhou Qiting's quilt, so he could only stare at the back in a depressed mood.
Time passed slowly, and Zhou Min watched helplessly as the thin quilt slipped off little by little as the sleeping person occasionally turned over.
Zhou Min's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
However, Zhou Min's worries did not last long. Just as some dim light from the sky came through a gap left by the thick curtains, Zhou Qiting's cell phone on the bedside table rang.
The sudden noise startled Zhou Min, who had been sitting all night. He hurriedly lay down and curled up on the cushion, closing his eyes and pretending to be asleep.
Zhou Yiting raised his hand to turn off the alarm on his mobile phone, got up from the bed and sat quietly for a while before getting out of bed to wash up.
Until the door closed again, Zhou Min opened his eyes and fell into thought.
He came back late at night and went out early in the morning. Why did Zhou Qiting come here to rest?
An answer was vaguely forming in his mind. Zhou Min drooped his lips, feeling full of guilt.
-
That night, Zhou Minwan declined the bodyguard's escort and voluntarily entered the cage.
Something was unusual. The bodyguard confirmed again and again that the cage was locked securely, glanced at Zhou Min who was carefully studying the patterns on the water dish, and left the room doubtfully.
Zhou Min didn't care about the bodyguard's vigilance because she knew that trust between people could not stand the test.
Even though she is now a prisoner with no control over her fate, given the crimes she has committed, it is reasonable for the bodyguards to be cautious.
Not long after, the sound of a door opening was heard. This time Zhou Min did not avoid it. His eyes were fixed on Zhou Qiting from the moment he appeared in the corridor, without blinking for a moment.
Zhou Qiting didn't care about the presumptuous look, as if she was just an ordinary piece of furnishings in the room. Even when he passed by her after taking a shower, he didn't even bother to give her a glance.
The light in the room dimmed again. After Zhou Min counted her heartbeat to the six thousandth time, she looked up at the person on the bed who seemed to be fast asleep.
After turning over several times, Zhou Yiting fell asleep on his side facing her this time.
The thin blanket on the person lying not far away slid down a little, revealing the skin and slender white neck that could not be covered by the nightgown. The upper body was slightly curled up, and the arms were folded and stretched at the sides. The lips that were once bright and rosy were now a little pale, the breathing was steady, but the brows were slightly wrinkled.
Zhou Min looked at the sleeping face he had been thinking about day and night for a long time under the dim night light.
The bodyguard's defense was correct, but he underestimated Zhou Min.
Zhou Min spread out his palm, and with his fingertips flexibly flipping, he clamped the slender metal strip that had been hidden in his hand between his fingers, inserted it into the keyhole hidden in the pattern, and fiddled with it gently.
She had secretly removed this from the buckle of her belt during the day. Although the material was a bit hard, it was barely enough to open the lock.
It took some time to finally open the lock, and Zhou Min tiptoed to the bed.
She held her breath and concentrated, carefully pinching the corner of the quilt that had slipped down with her index finger and thumb, and pulled it up gently and slowly, for fear of accidentally waking the sleeping person.
Zhou Min hadn't experienced such a nervous moment for a long time. The last time was when Zhou Qiting questioned her about the knowledge points related to the Investigation Bureau.
When the quilt completely covered Zhou Yiting's shoulders, she breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the cage and closed the door, then raised her hand to wipe the thin layer of sweat from her forehead.
It was a busy and fulfilling night.
Early in the morning, the alarm clock rang again. Zhou Yiting opened his eyes, and the haziness in his eyes gradually faded away.
When she regained consciousness, she noticed that the quilt was still covering her shoulders. A hint of doubt flashed across her face, but she quickly returned to normal.
Until night.
Zhou Min no longer stared at Zhou Qiting who had returned home. He squatted on the cushion, curled up in a ball with his back to her, looking depressed.
When Zhou Yiting passed by the cage whose lock he had ordered his bodyguards to remove, he glanced at the pitiful figure and sneered.
