Wait, what if Zhu Yuan found out that the person he saved went to save someone else in the blink of an eye? Would he be so angry that he would vomit blood?
System: "Yes, host, yes."
Xi Xingxue: "......"
I suddenly regretted using such a melodramatic method to save people.
It's too difficult.
However, when Xi Xingxue later recalled this scene, the choice she presented to him was still to use his body to shield Shen Yu from the bullet.
Because he couldn't beat the man with the gun, if he continued to rashly try to take the gun from him, he would most likely be shot dead.
It would be better to choose to shield Shen Yu from bullets with your body when the gunman fires at him; that way, Shen Yu would be moved to tears.
This is the saying, "Take a gamble and you might turn a bicycle into a motorcycle."
......
I don't know how much time passed.
Xi Xingxue regained some consciousness in a daze.
He felt wet all over, as if someone was wiping him down.
However, he was too weak to speak, but he was able to communicate with the system consciously.
"Master," Xi Xingxue transmitted in her mind.
"Host, please speak."
"Answer the question in my heart," Xi Xingxue said weakly.
The system quickly probed Xi Xingxue's thoughts, then coughed lightly.
"Host, you now have both good news and bad news in front of you."
Xi Xingxue: "I want to hear the good news first, so I can be happy, hehe."
System: "The good news is that Zhu Yuan's favorability has reached 75, and Chen Yu's is 80."
Xi Xingxue was slightly taken aback. After waking up, she found that the person who seemed more difficult to win over actually had a higher favorability rating.
Is it really worth having such a melodramatic scene of someone blocking a bullet? I should have stopped that bullet from Zhu Yuan too!
Although the scene of someone being hit by a bullet while rushing to save another person, only to be hit by another bullet, is rather eerie.
System: "Next is bad news."
Xi Xingxue: "Okay, I'm not listening anymore. I want to go to sleep in a happy mood."
System: "..." A breath caught in its throat, neither rising nor falling.
Seeing that its host was really about to fall asleep, the system couldn't help but say, "I don't care, I'm going to say it anyway. The bad news is that you've been locked up by Zhu Yuan!"
"Lock him up?" Xi Xingxue was stunned.
"That's right, Zhu Yuan is physically stronger, so he woke up before you. After discovering that you had actually shielded Shen Yu from a bullet, he was so angry that he sat up in shock from his deathbed and immediately sent people to rush into the hospital and take you away!"
"After that, Zhu Yuan called the Xi family and told them that you would be traveling for a while longer, and then locked you in the villa. The chain store had already been bought."
Xi Xingxue: "???"
Just then, a hand came to his face and gently lifted his eyelids.
At the same time, a bewitching voice pierced Xi Xingxue's eardrums:
"Wife... is she pretending to be asleep?"
Xi Xingxue: !! !! She dared not speak and remained motionless.
Zhu Yuan's voice was a little hoarse, and his cold laughter echoed in the room, bizarre and eerie.
He spoke slowly, word by word: "She went behind my back to save another man and didn't want to wake up. Xiao Xi is really bad."
"How should I punish you...?"
A rustling sound rang out, and something cold was gripped onto Xi Xingxue's wrist.
Xi Xingxue could no longer pretend to be asleep.
He murmured a few times, then slowly opened his eyes, hiding his small hands under the covers, pretending not to see the chain that was almost put on the bedside.
"Little bird, is that you? How long have I been sleeping?"
Zhu Yuan's gaze lingered on the bedside for a moment, then he calmly lowered the chains, smiled with his eyes down, "Finally you've decided to wake up, otherwise... how much longer would you have kept lying to me?"
His eyes held a mixture of surprise and a hint of bitterness, danger, possessiveness, and other complex emotions.
Like a drizzling rain that filled the sky, it brought a chill and dampness as it fell on Xi Xingxue.
Xi Xingxue had just woken up and was still weak, but she wasn't thirsty, probably because someone had fed her water while she was unconscious.
He laughed and said, "Haha, no, I dream about you all the time."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuan's gaze settled on the boy's delicate, pale face.
He didn't speak, his lips were pursed, and his usually alluring eyes suddenly held a dangerous undercurrent.
Xi Xingxue felt a chill in her heart and pursed her lips.
Forget it, I'm not going to say anything. This person seems to be in a terrible mood.
It's the kind of situation where someone gets angry just because he stepped out of bed with his left foot first.
After a long silence, Zhu Yuan finally spoke.
"If it weren't for the facts, I would have really believed it, Xiao Xi. You promised you would only like me, how could you be so disobedient?"
"Clang!" Under Xi Xingxue's horrified gaze, Zhu Yuan picked up the chains.
"You..." Xi Xingxue shifted her bottom further into the bed, "Little bird, what do you want to do?"
Zhu Yuan tilted his head and smiled wickedly: "If I want to keep you by my side, you can't go anywhere. Otherwise, you might go and save someone else again."
“He’s my brother… Anyway, I have a reason to save him,” Xi Xingxue explained.
“But the way your brother looks at you isn’t innocent.” Zhu Yuan leaned down, his large hand reaching under the covers to grasp Xi Xingxue’s wrist.
Xi Xingxue's fingers trembled. "Are you really going to handcuff me? Is there no room for negotiation?"
The atmosphere in the room fell into a brief silence.
Zhu Yuan closed his eyes briefly, then slowly smiled. "Unless you swear to stay away from people who have impure intentions towards you and disband your so-called 'fishpond'."
"After returning to China, hold an engagement banquet with me. From now on, be my one and only fiancé."
