Li Jingtang: Come again?
Chen Zui really never gets tired of this trick. Anyway, he will let himself go soon.
He tried to use this thought to dispel his fear of the darkness.
But how could I lose consciousness?
After thinking about it, it seemed that the only thing with a problem was the cake, but the cake was made by Chen Mo himself, so there would be no problem. He knew that it was Chen Zui who suggested his birthday, so it must be Chen Zui who put the drug in when Chen Mo was not paying attention.
What a sinister guy, he even uses his own brother.
Li Jingtang made a summary.
He lay there for a long time, and felt a little tired, so he wanted to turn over. He moved subconsciously from lying flat on his back to lying on his side.
After 3 seconds he suddenly sat up!
Touch your hands and feet.
Depend on!
Not tied up!
In the darkness, Li Jingtang's ears turned red with embarrassment. He was used to being tied up, but he only realized it now. He felt like an idiot.
He was completely free to move, groping his way out of the bed. In the darkness, he stretched out his hands, exploring cautiously, his bare feet sliding forward from time to time along the ground.
Chen Zui behind the screen struck a match, and the burning flame reflected in his dark eyes, leaping with joy.
He lit the cigarette in his mouth and casually swung the hand holding the match. The only light in the room was the scarlet between his fingers.
Aotian: It learns secretly, and the first thing it does after becoming a human is to smoke, drink, and perm its hair!
Aotian: [Will you be bored? ]
Chen Zui: [What?]
Aotian: [I don't have any friends. According to the data, humans need friends.]
It is still quite worried about its host and does not want him to become abnormal in loneliness. Ensuring the host's mental health is also its responsibility as a leader.
Chen Zui: [You are my friend.]
Aotian:!
He said he was...his friend...
Chen Zui: [In my heart, you are my good friend, my comrade-in-arms, and the person I trust the most.]
Aotian: [Stop talking.]
Chen Zui: [What happened?]
Aotian: [Wuwuwu X﹏X, I'm about to cry, you are also my best friend, best comrade, and the one I trust the most! ]
Aotian: [To commemorate our friendship, you wait for me! ]
Chen Zui puffed out smoke and watched Li Jingtang open the wardrobe and hit his head, then jumped up and down. He did not lie to Aotian. Although Aotian was not very reliable, such as the things in the novice gift package, but other than that, he was still very dedicated.
As long as it doesn't actively trip him up, he thinks it is a good system.
Li Jingtang walked to the bed and sat down. He recognized that this was the place where he was first imprisoned, which was Chen Zui's home. Chen Mo was also here!
This made him even less afraid.
He touched the door and knocked symbolically: "Chen Zui!"
As expected, no one paid any attention to him.
But it doesn’t matter, Chen Mo will come to rescue him when Chen Zui is not at home.
Li Jingtang returned to the bed and lay down peacefully, with one leg propped up and the other leg comfortably draped over it. However, he didn't have a mobile phone to play with, and it was too dark here, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Chen Zui looked at the leisurely person and felt that he had a really good attitude.
He laughed out loud.
Aotian: [There was a loud bang in the sky, and Aotian made a brilliant appearance~]
Chen Zui: [Applause.]
Chen Zui actually feels that Aotian is a bit like his own little wolf Aye, with a lively personality and no big deal. If Aye could speak, he might be like that.
So he was particularly willing to support Aotian.
Aotian: [I just bought a gift to commemorate our comrade-like friendship! ]
Aotian: [This is for you~]
Chen Zui: [What?]
Aotian: [I added 2cm to your length, no need to thank me~]
Chen Zui raised his eyebrows silently. Although he felt that he was enough and there was no need to make it longer, it would be nice to have some icing on the cake.
[Thank you anyway. I really like your gift. Is there any way I can give you a gift? ]
Aotian: [You can complete the task and get points, which is the best gift for me. ]
Oh, it cost another 190 points for these 2 centimeters. It was originally going to cost 200 points, but with the discount, only 10 points are left from the last task. I have to spend them sparingly.
Chen Zui: [Don't worry, I will definitely complete the task.]
Li Jingtang woke up from a nap and felt a little hungry. He knocked on the door again: "Chen Zui?"
He didn't call Chen Mo because he was afraid that Chen Zui would cause trouble for Chen Mo at home.
No one paid any attention to him.
He went back and sat down depressed. After waking up, he was like a wild beast locked in a cage. He couldn't stay still and kept walking back and forth. But in such a small place, he would occasionally bump into something if he wasn't careful. People with bad tempers gradually became irritable.
In addition, Li Jingtang always felt that someone was watching him in the dark, which made him feel uneasy. This feeling became more obvious as he stayed awake longer.
He could hardly sit still.
Chen Zui looked at the man scratching his head and pressed the switch.
Li Jingtang suddenly stopped moving and leaned forward. He heard the sound of dripping water. He searched for a long time but couldn't figure out where the sound came from. It just kept dripping at the same frequency.
He started banging on the door again. He couldn't stand being in the dark for a long time, and his hands were aching from hammering.
"Hold!"
Li Jingtang had used up all his strength, and the only effect of banging on the door was to make him hungrier and thirstier.
Why didn't Chen Mo come to save him? Was it because Chen Zui hadn't left yet? Or had Chen Mo given up on him?
Li Jingtang's thoughts began to wander uncontrollably, and he unconsciously curled up in a corner. His ears once again noticed the sound of dripping water, and he began to count silently in his heart...
“1, 2, 3…”
“57, 58, 59…”
"301, 302, 303..."
Li Jingtang didn't know when he had read out loud. The numbers seemed to have no end, just like he would always be in the dark.
He stayed up until his eyes were red and staring.
He had been counting to 2364 for a long time, but he was stuck. He seemed to have forgotten what the next number was.
When he repeated the number 2364 for the fifth time.
Chen Zui pressed the switch again.
Li Jingtang looked up suddenly, and the sound of water disappeared. The sound of water was like a sweet spring in his heart. Although he could not see or touch it, it nourished his heart in the darkness and became his only company.
But now the sound of water is gone!
Li Jingtang was panicked and stood up anxiously, his stiff body swaying awkwardly.
"Where's the sound?"
"Why is there no sound?"
If there wasn't even this little sound, he would be in absolute darkness and silence.
Li Jingtang couldn't stand it!
He knocked on the door frantically: "Let me out! Let me out! Let me out!"
The door was suddenly opened. Li Jingtang didn't care and pushed the person who opened the door open and ran out.
Seeing the light again made his legs go weak and he fell to the ground, gasping for breath. His whole body was soaked with sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
"Chen Mo" was pushed down at the door by him, got up, and ran over worriedly.
"I'm sorry, big brother just left."
He squatted beside Li Jingtang and was about to reach out to touch Li Jingtang when Li Jingtang suddenly hugged him tightly. Chen Zui's hand froze in mid-air, motionless, looking a little silly, honest and cute.
Li Jingtang felt the breath and warmth of Chen Zui's life, and only then did he feel that he was slowly coming back to life.
Aotian: [Favorability 22! Wow! Skyrocketing!]
Chen Zui maintained his Chen Mo appearance, and the more stimulation he gave, the more his favorability would increase.
The stiff hand slowly lowered and patted Li Jingtang gently: "It's okay, it's okay."
Aotian: [Favorability 23, 24, 25...]
With Chen Zui's continued comfort, Li Jingtang's favorability towards him increased a little.
After a long while, Li Jingtang raised his head and looked at Chen Mo. Out of habit, he told Chen Mo to let go in order to save his face, but he really couldn't do it now.
What he was holding was not Chen Mo, but his life-saving straw.
"You come with me."
"Otherwise, Chen Zui will beat you again when he comes back."
Chen Zui shook his head: "I can't go out, only my eldest brother can go out."
Li Jingtang didn't understand: "You can't go out? Is he restricting your freedom?"
“It’s not a restriction.”
"My elder brother and I agreed on this."
Chen Zui's words made Li Jingtang even more confused. He stared at the serious Chen Mo. He originally thought that only Chen Zui had a problem with his brain, but Chen Mo, who accepted all this, seemed to...
Was Chen Mo brainwashed by Chen Zui?
"Why can't you go out? Of course you can go out. I'll take you away right now."
He stood up, grabbed Chen Zui's arm and was about to take his men away.
Chen Zui struggled, but he was no match for the other party in strength, so Li Jingtang took him out of the villa and into the yard. Outside was the dark night sky. Li Jingtang was not wearing shoes, but he was so excited that he didn't notice the cold.
When they reached the gate, Chen Zui held on tightly to it: "I can't go out."
"Why?" Li Jingtang was a little angry and raised his voice.
Chen Zui was stunned by his roar and looked at him blankly.
Seeing him like this, Li Jingtang regretted it again. He softened his tone and said, "I'm not yelling at you. I just don't understand why you can't go out when you have hands and feet? Are you going to stay in this house for the rest of your life?"
Chen Zui covered his face with his mask and said, "I will die if I go out."
He muttered, "Those who break the rules will be killed."
Li Jingtang couldn't stand it anymore. He had to take Chen Mo away today and couldn't wait for Chen Zui to come back and beat him up. The two started to pull each other at the door. Li Jingtang originally thought it was easy to control Chen Mo, but the other party was determined not to go out. He slipped and was pushed away. The other party took the opportunity to turn around and ran back, as fast as a rabbit.
"Chen Mo!"
Li Jingtang shouted to catch up but it was too late and he was locked outside the villa.
"Chen Mo! Open the door!"
"Come out!"
He knocked on the door, but no one opened it for him.
Li Jingtang was so angry that he turned around and saw the bicycle parked in the yard.
The fire hit my forehead.
——
Snow falls softly.
Chen Zui made a cup of tea and roasted some persimmons and fruits on the small stove, which was very comfortable.
The bike outside is missing its chain.
There was a man squatting next to the gatepost at the entrance of the courtyard. Li Jingtang was waiting for Chen Zui to come back, so he could beat him with the chain.
He thought and sniffed.
It's so cold.
After 2 hours, Li Jingtang couldn't stand it anymore and gave up. He was about to be frozen into an ice sculpture. He felt that his behavior was very stupid, and this was not the only possibility to protect Chen Mo.
He looked around the villa and tried to put the chain on, but failed.
Li Jingtang was dumbfounded.
Well, the young master who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth is only good at dismantling things.
Long street on a winter night.
The man walking alone barefoot looked so pitiful. Even if he wanted to take a taxi, he had to leave the villa area and go to a place where he could take a taxi.
Mr. Li had never suffered such a torture in his life. He knocked on the door and asked Chen Mo to give him the shoes first, but Chen Mo seemed to be frightened by him and did not open the door.
Li Jingtang walked step by step with difficulty, and a car drove past him from behind.
Feeling like his feet were about to freeze off, Li Jingtang finally came down from the villa area halfway up the mountain. Unexpectedly, he saw an incredible scene.
Yuan Man is hugging Chen Zui!
The man's eyes were wide open, and he was so angry that he didn't even care about the pain for a moment.
He saw that Chen Zui did not reject Yuan Man.
Yuan Man let go of his hand and lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly. He had finally found the benefactor of his family and was so excited that he couldn't control his emotions.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
He apologized quickly, fearing that he had offended his benefactor.
Chen Zui glanced at the person behind him and began to talk to Yuan Man with a gentle smile: "It's okay, I didn't expect to meet again."
Yuan Man looked up at the man and pretended to kneel down to Chen Zui, but Chen Zui grabbed Yuan Man's arm to stop him.
In Li Jingtang's eyes, all of these were classified as: intimate physical contact.
The whistling cold wind was not as cold as Li Jingtang's expression.
They actually got together behind my back! Damn it! Damn it! Especially this guy Yuan Man, he has children and a family!
Chen Zui: “Don’t be like this.”
Yuan Man, an honest man, didn't know how to express his gratitude. He took out the bank card and said, "Thank you. It cost a total of 434,563 yuan. I didn't touch the rest of the money. I will return it to you. Every month, after deducting living expenses and Miaomiao's medicine, I will transfer all the money I earn to this card. I will also return it to you including the interest."
The man was very sincere, even though Chen Zui had never asked for it.
Li Jingtang couldn't hear what they were saying, but he felt that the atmosphere between the two was pretty good and they actually talked for such a long time.
Chen Zui is also a piece of shit, he doesn't like me...
All men are bad!
"This is the money I paid you to leave Li Jingtang. You don't need to pay me back."
"I wasn't with him anyway, so you don't need to waste your money on this."
The man is so honest.
No wonder he was completely dominated by Li Jingtang in the original novel.
Yuan Man has been thinking about the relationship between his benefactor and that tasteless man these days. His benefactor, who is unwilling to admit it, seems to have taken a fancy to that guy, otherwise he would not have spent 5 million to buy him away.
He felt that the guy was totally unworthy of being his benefactor.
I don't want flowers stuck in cow dung.
But he wouldn't mince words: "My benefactor, he doesn't deserve you."
Chen Zui's expression turned slightly colder: "You've crossed the line."
Yuan Man immediately apologized in panic.
Chen Zui estimated that if he didn't end it, the peeping mouse would freeze to death. "Your child's subsequent medication costs are quite a bit. You don't have to pay me back. If he pesters you again, I just hope you won't get involved with him no matter what."
Yuan Man: Love really makes people blind. Even his seemingly shrewd benefactor is not immune.
"Don't worry."
"I, Yuan Man, swear to heaven that I will never have anything to do with him."
Li Jingtang gritted his teeth and said, "It's not over yet, right? What's there to talk about!"
Chen Zui: "Well, it's late, you should go back too."
Before leaving, Yuan Man said: "My benefactor, if you need me to do anything in the future, even if it means you want my life, just let me know!"
His life was given by his benefactor, so his life belongs to his benefactor.
Chen Zui smiled.
He didn't need Yuan Man's life, so Yuan Man turned and left.
Chen Zui got into the car and was about to close the door when a hand suddenly appeared and grabbed the door.
He turned around and saw Li Jingtang appear, staring at him fiercely with snowflakes falling on his body, like a frozen male ghost that had escaped.
Chen Zui: He didn’t chase Yuan Man.
The two looked at each other for a while, and Chen Zui's gaze moved down to Li Jingtang's red, frozen feet covered in snow.
He reached out and pulled the man into the car, onto himself.
The car door was closed to block out the cold wind, and the warm air in the car started blowing.
Li Jingtang pinched Chen Zui's neck fiercely: "You never thought I'd come out again!"
He wished he could strangle Chen Zui to death!
Chen Zui stretched out his arm to reach the drawer of the co-pilot seat, allowing Li Jingtang to pinch him, almost crushing his Adam's apple, and took out a soft blanket to wrap Li Jingtang's feet.
Li Jingtang loosened his grip on his hand.
Chen Zui: "Wear shoes next time you run, or you'll freeze."
He is obviously the least qualified to say this.
Aotian: [Favorability 26%! This can also be increased!]
Li Jingtang frowned and wanted to kick the blanket away. He would not accept the kindness of this ambitious guy, but his ankle was grabbed.
Chen Zui: "You're so cold."
His hand moved from his trouser leg to his calf.
Li Jingtang's face changed slightly, and goose bumps appeared all over his body. Some scenes that he wanted to forget appeared in his mind. He knew the temperature of Chen Zui's driest palm very well.
In order to prove that he was not affected, he pinched Chen Zui's hand with more strength.
"For what you've done to me, even if you die ten thousand times it won't be enough to atone for it!"
He said this while sitting on Chen Zui's lap.
Chen Zui grabbed the handle next to the seat and pulled it, and the seat fell backwards with him and Li Jingtang.
During the swaying, the two almost kissed.
After the chair fell, Li Jingtang didn't know why the defenses in his heart seemed to fall along with it.
Perhaps the two of them had already done the most intimate thing, or perhaps he was frozen silly.
Chen Zui’s face is really good-looking, but his chest muscles are not as exaggerated as Yuan Man’s.
No, no, now is not the time to think about this.
He said sternly, "This is a matter between you and me. It has nothing to do with Chen Mo. You are not allowed to hit him!"
Chen Zui raised his hand and brushed off the melted snowflakes on Li Jingtang's hair: "Do you care about him a lot?"
It seemed unintentional, but Li Jingtang shivered for no reason, and Chen Zui hugged him.
"Do you feel sorry for him?" he continued to ask.
"Are you a human being? He is your brother!" Li Jingtang was so cold that he did not push away Chen Zui's arms. The man's body temperature was very high, warming him through his clothes.
"Who is he to you that you care about him so much?" Chen Zui asked back.
"He's the one who helped me!"
Li Jingtang spoke with a heavy nasal tone, as if he was acting coquettishly, and his head felt a little dizzy. He had been squatting outside for so long and walking barefoot for so long, his body temperature kept rising, and even his strong body would become sick.
He couldn't hold up his head, so he leaned it on Chen Zui's chest.
"Fuck, I feel so uncomfortable..."
"baby."
"You have a fever."
"You're the one who's horny!"
"I'll do it sooner or later. You..."
"Just wait..."
