Chapter 338 Absolute Imprisonment (2) - Ning Shu's Hunger Strike
Ning Shu still held onto a hope that there were teammates like him who knew the secrets of the game.
Having common allies makes her path easier.
Unexpectedly, his actions not only failed to bring him the allies he desired, but also exposed his true intentions.
Si Zhong could have taken Ning Shu away the day he learned the truth, but he didn't, because he needed to make some preparations.
He didn't sit idle during the two days he gave Ning Shu his freedom; he created the "Dream Romance" scenario himself.
Why create a separate instance? To prevent Ning Shu from being pulled into the instance midway through, or from entering the instance voluntarily.
Although he could have gone in with her, there were other teammates in the instance as well, making it inconvenient for him to do anything.
Customized instances not only feature only the two main characters, but also allow for customizable content.
He specifically asked the game technicians outside to work overtime to create the content for the customized dungeon.
He also spent money to get them into the dungeon, and at the same time, he and Ning Shujun unbound their binding items from Wen Fei, so the amount of points deducted from the paid items was particularly large.
Looking at the woman lying beside him, he felt it was all worth it, but that man... couldn't be kept.
Si Zhong wondered if he should deal with Cheng Chuan first after leaving, and then take Ning Shu away.
He needed to think carefully about what to do next, after all, he couldn't let Ning Shu continue like this, he had to get her to do it willingly, right?
Seeing him sitting like a meditating monk, Ning Shu knew he must be holding back his anger. She rolled her eyes, pulled the blanket over herself, and turned her back to him, preparing to go to sleep.
Si Zhong's thoughts were interrupted by her actions. Knowing that Ning Shu was tired, he stood up naked and went into the bathroom.
The sound of rushing water drifted over, and Ning Shu's eyelids grew heavy under the hypnotic influence of the sound. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard Si Zhong's voice.
"I've run the water. Do you want to take a shower before you go to sleep?"
Ning Shu ignored him. Si Zhong knew she was angry. Remembering how clean she used to be, he still picked her up.
What?
Ning Shu's voice betrayed her dissatisfaction as she muttered to herself.
Si Zhong coaxed, "I know you're tired, so let's take a bath."
After putting Ning Shu in the bathtub, he wanted to give her a good wash, but Ning Shu was wide awake and wouldn't let him do it.
"Then you can wash it yourself. I'll change the sheets." Si Zhong said, leaving the bathroom and starting to make the bed.
He felt that this was the inconvenience of entering the dungeon; he had to do everything himself, and it was more troublesome without Xiaoman's help.
He used to do everything himself, but it seems he's been living too comfortably lately and has forgotten the hardships of the past.
Ning Shu felt tired even raising her arms. After quickly tidying herself up, she put on the pajamas that Si Zhong had placed on the clothes rack and went out.
Si Zhong had already changed the sheets, but he was nowhere to be found. Ning Shu ignored him, lay down on the bed, covered herself with the blanket, and fell asleep.
When Si Zhong returned from the laundry room, he saw that Ning Shu was already asleep. He went back to bed, hugged Ning Shu, and fell asleep as well.
"These days are so good," Si Zhong thought contentedly, holding the soft, squishy person in his arms.
But when he woke up the next day, his mood was not so good, because Ning Shu was on a hunger strike.
After Si Zhong got up, he made breakfast, which was Ning Shu's favorite chicken porridge. He specially learned how to make it from Xiao Man, and he did it very well.
He thought Ning Shu was secretly sleeping in, but after waiting for a long time and she still didn't get up, he realized that things might not be as he thought.
Ning Shu had actually gotten up and put on her usual clothes after washing up, but she just sat by the window.
When Si Zhong came in, he saw this scene: Ning Shu hugged her knees and looked out the window at the scenery. The sunlight shone on her, making her look serene and sacred, like an oil painting.
Why don't you go out to eat?
Ning Shu ignored him.
Si Zhong finally understood that Ning Shu was throwing a tantrum at him, and that he had really gone too far yesterday.
It's not his fault; he was indeed very angry. He released his pent-up anger after two days and couldn't control it.
He walked over and sat down opposite Ning Shu: "Are you angry with me? But even if you're angry, you still have to eat, hmm?"
After saying that, he reached out and touched Ning Shu's head, but Ning Shu turned her head away.
Si Zhong stared at Ning Shu for a long while with a dark look in his eyes before standing up, leaving the room, and returning some time later.
He was holding a bowl of chicken porridge. After sitting down in front of Ning Shu, he stirred the porridge with a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and blew on it to cool it down.
After testing the temperature, he held the spoon to Ning Shu's lips, but Ning Shu slightly turned her head away.
Si Zhong was persistent and continued to hold the spoon to Ning Shu's lips. Ning Shu had no way to avoid it, so she did, but she didn't open her lips.
The edge of the spoon in Si Zhong's hand only touched her lips, unable to go any further.
"Do you want to starve to death?"
Ning Shu remained silent.
Si Zhong's eyes darted around: "Perhaps you want me to kill him?"
Ning Shu understood that "he" referred to Cheng Chuan, and that this was the matter he cared about the most.
"What does it matter to me whether he lives or dies? Go ahead and kill him." Ning Shu thought that he would be resurrected anyway, so what did it matter?
Si Zhong raised an eyebrow and put down the spoon in his hand:
"But what good will it do you to starve to death? You know you can't get rid of me, and you'll still lose your points and items. Isn't that a loss?"
That's such a loss, but... she couldn't stand it.
She felt as soon as she washed up that if she compromised like this, how could she ever face the world again? She had to fight back!
You have to threaten the other party with something they care about. What does Si Zhong care about? Of course, it's himself.
Ning Shu couldn't guarantee that he was the person Ning Shu cared about the most, but he was definitely someone Ning Shu "cared about," otherwise why would he bother?
Si Zhong felt that he couldn't let Ning Shu run wild, so he put down the porridge bowl and took out a folded "bag" from his spatial storage.
He untied the "bag," shook it, and revealed its full appearance—it was a sleeping bag.
Ning Shu caught a glimpse of his actions out of the corner of her eye and wondered to herself, "Isn't there a bed? Why is he taking out a sleeping bag?"
She soon found out what to do, because she was "stuffed" into a sleeping bag.
This sleeping bag must also be a prop, because when she was stuffed into it, it felt quite spacious inside.
But once inside, I felt like I was wrapped tightly in a sleeping bag, with almost no room to move.
Ning Shu twisted around a couple of times and realized that she was no different from being tied up. What was going on?
After Si Zhong "tied her up," he carried her to the bed and made her lean against the headboard.
He originally wanted to tie her up with a rope, but he was afraid of hurting her, since rope is rough. The sleeping bag prop could perfectly achieve his purpose.
He picked up the bowl of porridge again and held the spoon to her lips: "Eat your food properly."
Ning Shu still ignored him, and Si Zhong, who had tried several times without success, became somewhat annoyed.
