After showing it to He Yunqi, Lu Yichen asked me what was going on.
I said there was nothing to say.
Lu Yichen asked me: Did He Yunqi stay here voluntarily?
I told her she stayed voluntarily!
Lu Yichen said: "Would you voluntarily stay in the basement, where you never see the sun?!"
Lu Yichen advised me, saying that He Yunqi's condition was not good, and that I shouldn't have locked her in the basement, as she would get sick from not getting sunlight all year round...
But I don't want to let her go!
Lu Yichen said, "This is imprisonment! It's illegal!"
I said, "I won't let her leave!"
Lu Yichen compromised. He said that if he didn't want He Yunqi to get sick again, he couldn't keep her locked in the basement anymore. He suggested moving her to a room where she could get sunlight.
I said okay, I'll change her room.
Then I chatted with Lu Yichen, and he learned that I had drugged He Yunqi on the roadside and brought her back...
Lu Yichen said she was quite unlucky; an orphan, her parents died in a car accident, she also suffered from social anxiety, and then you drugged her and took her home…
I told her I could support her!
Lu Yichen asked me how long I had kept her locked up...
I said one month.
Lu Yichen remained silent for a long time before finally patting my shoulder and saying, "Now that you've brought her back, treat her well and try to get married as soon as possible!"
Marriage?! I don't think I've ever considered it! But surprisingly, it sounds great! If I married He Yunqi, it would definitely be a very happy thing!!
But I also have concerns. I said I don't know what He Yunqi is thinking, and I don't know if she's willing.
Lu Yichen told me to treat her well, really, really well! Then she definitely wouldn't want to leave me!
So I started treating He Yunqi even better! I moved her to the second bedroom on the second floor and took meticulous care of her, cooking her delicious food, buying her pretty clothes and jewelry... and reading and watching TV with her...
He Yunqi's activity range expanded from her room to the entire villa; as long as she didn't leave the villa, she could move around freely.
I silently told myself that I needed to give her some space, as long as she didn't leave, as long as she stayed with me...
But if she tries to escape, I will definitely lock her up!
Our interactions started to resemble those of a real couple... and our relationship improved... It seems Lu Yichen's suggestion was right!
My younger brother, Chen Chen, came to my house to cause trouble again. He saw He Yunqi, and his eyes lit up, just like always—he wanted to snatch her away!
He Yunqi ignored him and didn't say anything when she saw Shen Chen. She just told me that she went upstairs first.
Her ignoring Chen Chen made me feel a little better.
But Shen Chen kept provoking me, and I couldn't control myself anymore; I wanted to "destroy the world" again.
I never expected Yun Jin to come downstairs and take my hand.
I snapped out of my daze and asked her why she had come down again.
She said she was worried about me.
In an instant, the thought of "doomsday" vanished. All I wanted to do was hold her tightly and tell her I was fine and not to worry.
She looked at Chen Chen with disdain and asked me why he was still staying at our house.
That sentence made me even happier!
She said she didn't like Shen Chen and told me to get rid of him!
I was delighted and immediately told him to get out: "You saw it too, you're not welcome here! Get out!!"
Shen Chen was kicked out!
Because of this incident, our relationship became even closer.
I told her that Shen Chen was my half-brother, born from my father's affair. My mother had always been in poor health, and her health deteriorated further after she found out about my father's affair. She passed away not long after. Later, my father married Shen Chen's mother.
He Yunqi was very worried about me. She knew they weren't treating me well, so she kept comforting me, saying, "It's okay, you'll have me from now on. I'll be there for you!"
I never expected that my deliberate act of weakness would actually earn me He Yunqi's promise to stay with me!
What's said can't be taken back!! He Yunqi!! From now on, you'll have to stay with me!!!
My relationship with He Yunqi is getting better and better! I told her about my work, and after she learned that I was involved in the production of antiviral drugs, she admired me even more!
Her adoring gaze made me feel that my work was very meaningful!
She said, "You actually work at the National Academy of Sciences?! That's amazing!!"
She said, "You're developing an antiviral drug? That's amazing!! If you succeed, it can help so many people! You'll be a hero of our country!!"
We learn about each other's past and experiences, we comfort each other, and our relationship grows stronger!
We've gotten to know each other much better now! And what should I do if I can't bear to let her go?!
Our relationship progressed further because of Shen Chen's harassment.
Ever since Shen Chen saw He Yunqi at my house last time, he hasn't been able to get her out of his mind. He always waits for me near my house while I'm at work. He Yunqi is terrified. She doesn't have a cell phone and can't contact me, so she can only wait for me to come home...
I felt a little guilty. I hugged her and, after much consideration, prepared a cell phone for her so that she could contact me anytime.
For a fleeting moment, I had a dark thought: if she dares to call the police and try to escape, I will definitely catch her and lock her up completely!
I was surprised to find that she was just browsing websites and watching videos on her phone, and she would occasionally text me. She said she didn't dare to text me too often for fear of disturbing my work. She would only ask me if I had eaten lunch, and if I hadn't, she would urge me to go eat...
Shen Chen is really persistent; after being stopped by the security guard several times, he finally bought an apartment in the complex... I don't know why he's so determined to compete with me...
