Failure to refuse food
A dreamless night.
Because of a sleepless night.
The morning light filtering through the gaps in the curtains meets the dim light of the night lamp, reminding the people inside that morning is coming.
Zhou Min almost didn't close her eyes all night. For the first time, she felt the discomfort brought by wearing cosmetic contact lenses for a long time. She raised her hand to rub her eye sockets, then turned over and prepared to sit up from the bed.
The sleeping person lost the warm embrace and hummed softly, showing signs of waking up. After Zhou Min carefully patted him to comfort him, he quietly got up and went to the bathroom.
Zhou Min took off his colored contact lenses and destroyed them. Looking at his bloodshot eyes in the mirror, he sighed deeply.
It's all your own fault.
He couldn’t let his eyes go to waste just yet, so Zhou Min took out some eye drops from his makeup bag, dripped them into his eyes skillfully, and closed his eyes to rest.
By the way, has Zhou Xihe already told Zhou Qiting about Zhou Min covering his eyes?
I was busy taking orders a few days ago and had no time to think about this matter carefully. Now that I think about it, Zhou Min's head, which was dizzy due to lack of sleep, began to ache slightly.
It's really a bit tricky.
After resting for a while and putting on the spare colored contact lenses again, Zhou Min finished washing up and walked back to the room. He sat down on the edge of the bed quietly, leaning his back against the headboard, and his eyes habitually fell on the sleeping face he had been looking at all night.
Zhou Min once tried to drink too much alcohol to get himself drunk in order to avoid the nightmares, but later found that it was of no use. On top of the mental discomfort, it also made his body more uncomfortable.
So she knew very well that the sleep quality of drunk people was not very good.
Zhou Yiting slept very uneasily last night. She didn't know whether she had a nightmare or was feeling unwell. She seemed to be about to wake up several times.
Fortunately, Zhou Min, who couldn't sleep, was very considerate. Seeing that the young lady was frowning, he gently massaged her solar plexus. Noticing that the young lady's breathing was disordered, he slowly stroked her back up and down to help her breathe more smoothly.
Zhou Min's intention was not to be considerate, but more out of consideration for ensuring his own safety.
She couldn't imagine how much anger the young lady, who drank because she was unhappy, would endure after waking up from the discomfort.
Thinking of this, Zhou Min was worried that he almost woke Zhou Yiting up last night.
In fact, in this situation, Zhou Min should provide some services to the eldest lady, such as preparing breakfast, to ensure that he can eliminate some of her dissatisfaction caused by his escape for a few days.
But the truth is that the eldest lady's servants were so elusive and thorough that it was not Zhou Min's turn to do these things at all.
The reason they are so elusive is that they are rarely seen. The reason they are so thorough is that they will prepare everything you might need without you having to tell them.
It’s better not to compete with professionals in areas you are not good at.
Zhou Min decided to try a different approach.
-
"Mom, is there anything else you don't want me to know?"
I sent a message to Zhou Xihe yesterday, but Zhou Qiting didn’t have time to ask for a reply in person until a day later.
"Qiting, Mom was wrong about what happened back then." Zhou Xihe took off her glasses helplessly, pinched her brows, and continued, "So those who escaped the blame will be dealt with by Mom personally, okay?"
Zhou Qiting refused. She took out her phone and saw a message from Xiao Gou saying, "I'm busy for the next few days." She didn't reply immediately. Instead, she pulled up the heavily censored but viral video she'd seen at the gym that day, showed it to Zhou Xihe, and asked, "Mom, you've seen that video too, right?"
Seeing Zhou Xihe's silence, she understood and continued, "So there are indeed clues that I don't know about, which can prove that this person is Zhou Min, right?"
"Qiting, Mom doesn't want you to waste your energy on this."
"But after all these years, I still can't forget her." Zhou Qiting took a deep breath and slowly confided in Zhou Xihe, "I often dream of those golden eyes. Sometimes they're playful, sometimes they're cold. Sometimes they look at me sincerely one moment and become cunning the next."
"Every time I wake up from this dream, I'm sad. Thinking back to the time she was deliberately placed next to me, just to lure me out of the safe zone, even the events that would happen after the kidnapping failed were planned..."
"Qiting," Zhou Xihe couldn't bear to see his daughter frowning, so he interrupted her recollection, "What happened back then..."
It was true that Zhou Xihe was wrong in what happened back then, but because of her misjudgment, she had missed the best time to explain.
She is not the type of person who refuses to change her ways even though she knows she is wrong, but her daughter's former "good friend" is now too special and has been included in the wanted list of "perverted murderers" by the Investigation Bureau.
People who were once mistakenly thought to be dead are about to die. How can this not be the same end?
Zhou Xihe didn't want to cause any more trouble and hurt her daughter again, so she didn't explain too much. She said in a firm tone, "Mom will personally handle what happened back then, and the people who escaped the blame back then. You don't need to interfere."
Seeing Zhou Xihe's firm attitude, Zhou Qiting said no more and lowered his head to reply to the puppy's message to ease his boredom.
After seeing that the puppy was allowed to move freely, it took the initiative to send her "Zhou Qiting——" to test her attitude. Zhou Qiting began to want to tease her again.
Zhou Xihe looked at his daughter's expression which gradually softened after she checked the message, and then thought of something, and reminded her: "The investigation agency's system can't find the iris information of your girlfriend." This means that her eyes have been disguised.
"I know." No matter how well the contact lenses fit, one can still find some clues if one looks closely. Zhou Qiting had already noticed it, but he just didn't expose it.
But, shouldn't her mother have said something similar to her yesterday? She could use this as an excuse to "interrogate" her.
Before leaving, Zhou Qiting looked back at Zhou Xihe and said one last time, "Mom, I will continue investigating."
Not long after returning to the office, Zhou Qiting received the news that the puppy had escaped.
It's a rare break time, so let her walk around outside for a while.
It was not until she let herself go home after having enough fun in the evening, and until the bodyguard with a bruised face and nose called to say that the person had run away, that Zhou Yiting realized that she was still too tolerant.
She couldn't help but sneer when she thought about the person who had handed the chains to her that morning and ran away to another place overnight in less than 24 hours.
The puppy really wants to continue his unrepentant behavior to the end.
But am I not also taking advantage of the situation?
Zhou Qiting looked at the locator mark on her phone that showed she was in City T, and felt confused.
Zhou Yiting, who once said that she would leave the puppy some private space, has been using various means, both overt and covert, to mark her.
The choker, the clothes, the bite marks... and this collar with a locator.
But Zhou Qiting always felt that it was not enough, and wanted to leave more marks of his own on her body, not just on her body, it would be best if he could control the puppy's words and actions.
As expected, Zhou Qiting followed the guidance of desire and gradually revealed the dark side that he had once avoided.
The remaining rationality constantly condemned her increasingly extreme desire for control.
At what point did things start to spiral out of control? If she hadn't offered a deal, would he have let her go so easily?
Zhou Qiting knew that from the day she figured out her inner desires, she hadn't considered letting go. That deal had only fueled the fire, allowing her inner anger to grow.
Even if there is no deal, Zhou Qiting will use money, power, and even... herself to weave a cage that belongs only to the puppy.
Once you are trapped, there is no escape.
Seeing the puppy trying every possible way to escape, Zhou Qiting never thought that he would suffer from insomnia for two consecutive days because of this.
She was always thinking about having her men capture the person based on the location.
Her morbid desire for control eroded her sanity, and she could only use alcohol to temporarily escape the deafening noise in her mind.
Until tonight, Zhou Qiting watched the location gradually approaching her with drunken eyes, and the desire to lock the person up suddenly rose again. She had no choice but to swallow glass after glass of cold wine to prevent herself from losing control.
It is pitiful and sad that sober madness can only be curbed in this way.
"Zhou Qiting, I'm back..."
"Um."
"Zhou Qiting, I'm sorry..."
"fine."
…
I can’t control myself anymore… Zhou Qiting thought drowsily, his consciousness gradually falling into chaos.
Alcohol shattered the dream. Zhou Qiting dreamed of many things, past, present, and overlapping.
She dreamed that the golden color of the past and the dark brown eyes of the puppy now gradually overlapped and blended into a pair of strange eyes.
The warm gold contains an unbreakable chill, and both passionate and cold emotions are contained in it, which is extremely contradictory.
As Zhou Yiting struggled to wake up from this absurd dream, she felt herself being wrapped in a strong embrace.
She couldn't help but hug the warmth back. The tighter she hugged, the temperature seemed to rise a little, until the heat dispelled all her uneasiness, and then she gave up.
"Zhou Qiting..." A somewhat aggrieved voice murmured in my ear, restrained and hoarse.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Yiting, who was sleeping, felt her lips being covered by another soft surface, and then a little warmth gently pried open her teeth, carefully absorbing her breath.
Breathing gradually became disordered.
Just when Zhou Yiting wanted to open her eyes and look at the person who disturbed her sleep, the softness quietly retreated, leaving her space to breathe.
Zhou Qiting's consciousness blurred again as her back was gently patted...
pain.
The vague headache after a hangover woke Zhou Yiting from her sleep. She opened her eyes, but before she had time to think about what happened last night, all her attention was attracted by the person next to her.
The man before her knelt obediently beside her, wearing a shirt fresh from the closet, not very wrinkled, but with two buttons undone at the collar, making it look disheveled. A red rope was wrapped around his wrist, strategically tied into a slipknot that could be pulled off.
What was most difficult to look away from was that there was a chain wrapped around her neck, with the other end of the chain held in her mouth, just like... a puppy waiting to be punished.
Zhou Yiting took a deep breath, looked away, sat up from the bed, ignored her, and walked directly to the bathroom. Before closing the door, he considerately left a word to the person on the bed.
"Be good...wait for me."
