Chapter 344 Absolute Imprisonment (8) - Settling Old scores
Then Si Zhong's voice came again: "If I can do it, what will you do?"
If she can do it, she can do it. It's not a big deal. Why should she be expected to do anything?
However, she also wanted to leave herself some room for maneuver, saying, "If you can do that, I'll sleep alone tonight and let you have the whole bed to yourself. That would be a good deal for you."
That way, whether he gets in or not, she won't lose out.
Ning Shu thought she was incredibly clever and put her hands on her hips.
Si Zhong, standing outside the door, was amused by her words and, thinking of the dungeon's quest, said:
"Are you sure you want this? Couples sleeping separately isn't good for dungeon quests."
That "oh" sounded light and airy, yet it was full of threat.
Ning Shu almost forgot that the purpose of her compromise this time was to get through this dungeon.
She was about to leave the game, and this dungeon was a must-complete; otherwise, all her previous efforts would be in vain.
Thinking of this, she became uneasy and immediately opened the door, only to find that Si Zhong was no longer there.
Ning Shu's alarm went off, fearing that Si Zhong would change his mind. She quickly searched for him and finally found him in the bathroom.
When Si Zhong finished washing up and stepped out of the bathroom, he found Ning Shu sitting on the bed, seemingly waiting for him.
Si Zhong walked over and poked her shoulder: "Go back to your guest room. I want to have the bed all to myself tonight."
That dog Si Zhong! He's so petty.
Ning Shu was seething with hatred inside, but her face was plastered with a fawning smile:
"I was just joking. I wouldn't bear to leave you alone in an empty room. Don't be angry."
After saying that, she stood up, pressed Si Zhong down onto the bed, and then massaged his shoulders, saying in a flattering tone:
"Come on, you've had a long day. Let me give you a massage. Is this pressure okay?"
Si Zhong squinted as he enjoyed her service, constantly giving instructions: "Press harder."
Ning Shu increased the pressure: "Is this okay?"
"Hmm, not bad."
Ning Shu tentatively asked, "Then tonight..."
"It depends on your performance."
In the end, Ning Shu successfully stayed.
Having learned her lesson, she decided never to act recklessly again—at least not temporarily.
Sensing Ning Shu's reproachful gaze, Si Zhong asked, "What's wrong?"
Ning Shu retorted indignantly, "You're bullying me again."
Again? He hasn't done much to her these past few days, has he?
Seeing Si Zhong's innocent expression, Ning Shu became even angrier: "You still won't admit it!"
He didn't seem to have said anything just now, so Si Zhong is even more innocent. He has to do something before he can admit it, how can he admit to something that's completely fabricated?
Ning Shu knew he wouldn't admit it, and accused him, "You've been bullying me since the first time we met!"
Si Zhong looked puzzled. Did he have one?
Ning Shu pointed at his nose: "See? You just won't admit it!"
Si Zhong thought for a moment, then hesitated and asked, "Did I bully you during that time in the desert?"
Although he was very angry that time, he didn't do anything to her in the end.
Ning Shu was furious: "Who told you about that time? It wasn't our first meeting, have you forgotten?"
The first time we met, you stepped on my shoulder.
"That time at the amusement park, you had just killed someone, and when you noticed me watching you, you almost killed me too."
Really? He doesn't seem to remember.
Ning Shu continued her accusation: "Another time, you showed up and almost broke my hand without even asking me anything."
"That time in the desert, you think you didn't bully me, right? You scared me to death!"
Ning Shu talked on and on. Some of the things she mentioned he remembered, while others he didn't remember at all.
Si Zhong suspected that Ning Shu was talking nonsense. Anyway, he couldn't remember it, but what she said sounded like something he would do.
"Okay, I was wrong, don't be angry." Si Zhong had a headache.
Ning Shu pressed her advantage: "Tell me, what did you do wrong?"
She was secretly pleased; this time she would teach him a lesson for being so arrogant and domineering, always behaving inappropriately.
This was the first time Si Zhong had been asked this question. How should he answer? Should he tell the truth?
Ning Shucai didn't want to listen to his nonsense; she wanted to protect herself: "I don't want to hear this."
If she didn't want to hear it, then what did she ask just now? For a moment, Si Zhong was completely bewildered by Ning Shu.
Taking the opportunity, Ning Shu asked, "You treated me so badly before, shouldn't you make it up to me?"
Si Zhong finally understood why she had made such a fuss; it turned out she was waiting for him here.
Si Zhong remained calm: "Then how do you want me to make it up to you?"
Ning Shu seized the opportunity: "Don't touch me for the rest of this dungeon."
Si Zhong's smile vanished, his tone turning icy: "No."
Ning Shu retorted angrily, "Then why do you say you didn't bully me!"
Si Zhong readily agreed: "Yes, I bullied you, and I'll continue to bully you in the future."
Ning Shu: "..." She didn't need to say anything more.
That night, while she was taking a nice bath, Si Zhong walked in.
Ning Shu was startled: "What are you doing in here?"
After saying that, he hid underwater in the bathtub, leaving only his neck and above exposed.
Si Zhong chuckled to himself at her little trick, and after coming in, he took off his clothes: "I'll wash with you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she hung the clothes she was holding on the clothes rack and stepped into the bathtub.
Ning Shu flailed twice, preparing to retreat, but before she could even stand up, Si Zhong grabbed her and, in a dizzying moment, pulled her into someone's arms.
Si Zhong: "Why are you leaving? Are you clean? Are you leaving?"
Ning Shu struggled: "It's clean."
Si Zhong: "Oh? Let me check."
Ning Shu struggled even more: "No need, I'll wash up..."
In the end, she was thoroughly "checked".
When Si Zhong carried her out of the bathroom, she was still drowsy.
The next day, after Ning Shu got up, she searched everywhere for things.
Si Zhong watched her wandering around, unable to concentrate on her book at all: "What are you looking for?"
Ning Shu didn't even look up: "Playing cards."
"Why are you looking for that thing?"
Ning Shu grinned and said, "Go ahead and play! Once I find it, I'll teach you how to play."
Ideally, he should be so engrossed in his pleasure that he forgets all about bothering her.
Si Zhong remained silent and continued reading.
After Ning Shu had searched almost the entire villa, she finally spoke up: "I have it in my space."
Ning Shu was taken aback: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Si Zhong: "It's rare to see you so enthusiastic about exercising, how could I dare to interrupt you?"
This is... too much! He deliberately watched her make a fuss while remaining silent.
Seeing Ning Shu's sullen expression, Si Zhong asked curiously, "Do you still want it?"
Ning Shu thought of her plan and swallowed her anger: "...Yes."
Si Zhong smiled and took out a deck of cards from his spatial storage, handing them to Ning Shu. Ning Shu took them and turned to leave.
Si Zhong grabbed her wrist: "You can't even say thank you?"
Ning Shu was still angry, but to avoid being taken advantage of, she reluctantly said, "Thank you."
He turned and ran away and disappeared.
Si Zhong watched her fleeing figure and couldn't help but burst into laughter. For a moment, he felt that this usually quiet villa had become much more lively.
