At noon, the man returned. He came in, cleared the table, and then brought in lunch...
The man set out lunch and silently stepped back a short distance: "Come and have lunch."
Yunqi got up and sat down at the dining table, silently eating her lunch. The man watched her eat, and Yunqi noticed his gaze and couldn't help but tremble again...
The man was very satisfied with Yunqi's performance. He watched her through the camera all morning, and Yunqi neither ran away nor deliberately broke the bowl to hide the pieces...
Maybe I really can take care of her forever...
The man watched Yunqi finish eating and silently cleaned up the dishes. As he was leaving, he said, "I'll come back from get off work and cook dinner for you later."
"..."
And you know what? Men's cooking is way better than takeout...
After the man left, Yunqi stared idly at the clock on the wall, watching the time tick by... When she got tired of staring, she lay back down on the bed and went to sleep...
Several more days passed like this. Every day, the man would bring in three meals a day, silently watch Yunqi finish eating, and then silently get ready to go to work. He even thoughtfully prepared comfortable changes of clothes for Yunqi... but the chains were never removed...
Yunqi thought that the two of them were somewhat acquainted. While eating, Yunqi secretly glanced at him and tried to talk to him: "I... my name is He Yunqi, what... what's your name?"
From the moment he brought Yunqi back, he sent people to investigate her and learned that she was an orphan and had always lived alone...
I don't want to let her leave...
The man was flattered that Yun Qi would tell him his real name. He hesitated for a moment and said, "My name is... Shen Xi."
“Chen Xi…” Yun Qi repeated his name, “Chen Xi, do you have any ointment? My foot hurts a little…”
Although Yunqi was very careful every time she walked, the chains would always rub against and pull on her wounds, causing the newly scabbed wounds to reopen...
Chen Xi followed Yun Qi's gaze to her feet. The iron chains on her anklets occasionally made a scraping sound, pulling at the wound. The anklets were visibly red and swollen, and in severe areas, the skin had broken and was bleeding...
Shen Xi was at a loss. He just wanted her to stay with him. He didn't want to hurt her or get injured: "Wait a moment, I'll get you some ointment!"
Watching Chen Xi rush out and then rush back in, approaching Yun Qi with ointment and cotton swabs in his hand, he said somewhat nervously, "I... I'll help you apply the ointment."
After spending a few days together, Yunqi was no longer afraid of this man. Yunqi nodded: "Then I'll trouble you."
Shen Xi gently placed Yun Qi's foot on his thigh, and carefully applied ointment to the wound with a cotton swab... Shen Xi applied the ointment very carefully, and Yun Qi thanked him, but when she pulled her foot back, the chain touched the wound again...
Now the ointment was used up for nothing...
Chen Xi pursed his lips, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, before turning to Yun Qi: "I can help you untie the chains, but don't run away, okay?"
"Will you really help me untie it?"
"Hmm. As long as you don't run away..."
"Okay, I won't run away..."
Although Shen Xi still didn't quite believe Yun Qi, he still untied her chains.
This is his house. Even if Yunqi can get out of this room, she can't get out of this house. There are security cameras in the house, Yunqi doesn't have a key, and she doesn't have a cell phone to contact the outside world...
Then... I'll trust her this once.
Yunqi lifted her leg, and without the chains, her feet felt much lighter. Without thinking, she thanked Shen Xi, "Shen Xi, thank you!"
Chen Xi pursed his lips: "Is there anything you want? I can buy it for you."
Yunqi shook her head: "I don't want anything... I just had some translation work that I hadn't finished... Could you let me finish it?"
Chen Xi stared intently at Yun Qi.
Yunqi started to get nervous again: "If it doesn't work... I... I won't do it... Could you... could you log into my account... and help me... cancel this translation job?... If... if you can... please apologize to the other party... My account is..."
After listening, Shen Xi left the room, went to the study, and logged into He Yunqi's account.
Unexpectedly, she had taken on quite a few translation jobs. This time, because she hadn't updated for several days, the client was already urging her to finish, and there were multiple messages.
[Mr. Li]: Angel, why haven't you submitted your manuscript yet? Is there some difficulty?
【Mr Li】: Angel, it's been several days, why haven't you been online? Have you encountered any difficulties in real life?
【Mr. Li】：Angel, feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions.
【Mr. Li】: Angel, the deadline is approaching, why aren't you online yet? What happened?
A hint of displeasure flashed in Shen Xi's eyes. This "Mr. Li" had collaborated with He Yunqi many times, often seeking her help with translation work. They would chat briefly over time, but fortunately, the chat logs were all work-related and contained nothing inappropriate...
After reviewing He Yunqi's previous translation records, Shen Xi completed the translation work himself.
Yunqi was also surprised watching the live stream sent by Xiaoqi in her room. It was finished in just over an hour? Clearly, the translator was better than her…
"That's normal. Shen Xi is a highly intelligent researcher, someone who can destroy the world with a flick of his wrist. What's a little translation to him?"
"..." Okay, it's good to help her finish it.
Shen Xi replied using He Yunqi's account: The translation has been compiled and sent to you. Please take a look and see if there are any places that need to be changed.
【Mr. Li】: Angel, your translation this time was excellent, you've made great progress!
