Chapter 46 Are you sure you really liked him five years ago?
Although the words were terrifying, it was clear that they were spoken in a joking tone.
So Cen An'an didn't take it seriously.
On the plane, Li Yanzhou didn't make things difficult for her. The flight attendants served her two portions of everything, and didn't mistreat her.
Luo Tingwei could tell he was joking. "What exactly do you want?"
"I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted her to come and keep you company so you wouldn't be half-dead all day long."
"You know best why I've become like this, don't you?"
Luo Tingwei wanted to tear down his hypocritical facade.
Li Yanzhou then looked up from the instruction manual, giving her a dismissive glance, his tone remaining calm.
I don't want to argue with you.
He doesn't care what she says anymore.
"You two have a good chat, I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, he got up from the sofa and left, leaving them alone.
The two breathed a sigh of relief after Li Yanzhou left.
"Weiwei, what happened to you?"
Cen An'an could hardly believe that the pale and weak woman lying on the bed in front of her was actually the once spirited Luo Tingwei.
Luo Tingwei sighed, "It's a long story."
After hearing about her experiences over the past few days, Cen An'an was also speechless with astonishment.
"What? A basement? Chains? And you were forced?"
Is this something a human being could do?
"Didn't Lin Zeyuan come to rescue you?"
Luo Tingwei said that on Feiji Island, she had accepted his feelings.
So they are actually boyfriend and girlfriend.
But Lin Zeyuan hasn't made a sound yet, he's only brought the dog back, which makes Cen An'an quite surprised.
"I don't think this guy will do."
Cen An'an said bluntly, "He's so unreliable. You've been in trouble for so long, and he hasn't shown any intention of coming to your rescue. I think he's just all talk. If you really need help, he'll just ignore you completely."
In fact, what Cen An'an said might not be what Luo Tingwei was thinking.
She just doesn't want to admit it.
So much time has passed, and Lin Zeyuan has never appeared again. Her heart has gradually cooled down from its initial fervor.
She didn't want to admit that Lin Zeyuan had really given up on her, that he really... hadn't done anything.
Once she admitted it, the last glimmer of hope and light in her heart was gone.
What should she do?
Do we really have to stay here forever, by that violent man's side?
Not only Lin Zeyuan, but even her father hadn't heard a word from her, as if... he had forgotten about his daughter.
Seeing that she remained silent, Cen An'an sighed.
"Forget about him. You only liked him because he saved you, but gratitude is not love. You're trapped here now, and he doesn't seem to be looking for you. How are you going to be with him?"
Actually, Luo Tingwei didn't particularly like Lin Zeyuan.
Saying she likes him would be a stretch, but she'd rather be close to him than to Li Yanzhou.
He was a way for her to escape Li Yanzhou and reach the outside world, a ray of light.
But now, Lin Zeyuan has disappeared.
The light in her eyes had also disappeared.
The thought of being trapped by Li Yanzhou's side for the rest of her life was a nightmare for her.
Luo Tingwei hugged herself tightly and buried her head in her arms.
Seeing that she remained silent, Cen An'an assumed she was still thinking about Lin Zeyuan, so she took the initiative to strike up a conversation with her.
Do you have a picture of him? I'd like to see it.
Five years ago, Luo Tingwei was distracted and absent-minded because of this man. She often mentioned him in front of her, but she still doesn't know what he looks like.
She remembered Luo Tingwei's description of him at the time: "Super handsome, like a handsome guy who stepped out of a comic book, so tall, a whole head taller than me."
Upon hearing her words, Luo Tingwei finally reacted and reached for her phone beside the bed.
She and he took some photos together on Fiege Island.
After finding the photo, Luo Tingwei handed the phone to Cen An'an.
Cen An'an took it and savored it carefully.
I have to admit, he is indeed a handsome guy, with a fair complexion and a cute, puppy-like appearance.
When she flipped to the full-body photo of the two, Cen An'an was puzzled for a moment, "Hmm?"
Are you sure he's a head taller than you?
"What's wrong?" Luo Tingwei asked, puzzled.
"Being half a head taller than you is the most I can do."
"I didn't say he was very tall."
"But that's what you said five years ago. You said the boy you liked was very tall, a full head taller than you... Uh, it's only been five years, has he shrunk?"
Finally, Cen An'an concluded, "Are you sure the person you liked five years ago was really him?"
Luo Tingwei stammered, "I...I don't know."
She recalled that Lin Zeyuan had told her that he had saved her, and she believed him without hesitation.
He knew too many details at the time, and she had no reason to doubt him.
Could it be him?
Luo Tingwei's head started to ache, and she instinctively clutched her head again. "I don't want to think about it anymore, my head hurts."
"Forget it, let's not think about it anymore."
Cen An'an quickly went to comfort her.
The next morning, when the maid brought breakfast, Luo Tingwei glanced at it and immediately understood what was going on.
"Uncle Zhong is back?"
This was clearly made by Uncle Zhong.
The maid answered yes.
At this moment, Li Yanzhou walked in, and Luo Tingwei's expression immediately became tense when she saw him.
He walked towards her, and she instinctively wanted to shrink back, casting a pleading look at the maid.
But how could the maid possibly save her?
With just a glance from Li Yanzhou, the maid wisely retreated.
Inside the house, only she and he remained.
The man sat down at the head of her bed, reached out and tucked a stray hair behind her ear, his voice very gentle.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you again."
He continued speaking in a language she couldn't understand.
"I don't blame you for not being able to remember what happened before."
"As long as I remember, that's enough."
What is he saying?
Luo Tingwei dodged his hand and simply said, "Don't touch me."
Li Yanzhou wasn't annoyed. He slightly curved his thin lips, got up, picked up the food on the table, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and brought it to her.
"Here, let me feed you."
Luo Tingwei dared not eat the food he fed her; in her eyes, food that had been handled by him was like poison.
She took a deep breath, but hesitated to open her mouth.
"What's wrong? Is it not to your liking? I specially called Uncle Zhong back. If you're not satisfied, take it away and have him redo it."
No...no.
She stammered, "I... I'll eat it myself."
The more unusually gentle Li Yanzhou acted, the more she felt that something was amiss and that he was definitely planning something big.
Gentleness is just the prelude; a bigger storm is coming.
Seeing her insistence, Li Yanzhou put down his bowl, stood up, and spoke with continued patience.
"Okay, you can eat slowly, I'll go out first."
After he left, Luo Tingwei sighed, looked at the food on the tray, thought for a moment, and finally picked up her chopsticks.
She picked up a small steamed bun and took a bite.
As I was eating, I started to feel something was off.
Finally, a crumpled piece of paper came out of it.
