I could only silently retreat to the doorway, further away from her.
I'm so happy to see her eat breakfast so obediently! I'm just glad she didn't go on a hunger strike.
I said, "You stay home obediently. I have to go to work later. I'll cook for her when I get back at noon."
As she was leaving, she asked me why.
Why what?
She asked why she was being locked up.
I said there was no reason why. I said you just need to stay home obediently and leave the dishes and utensils there for me to clean up when I get back.
The reason I left the bowls and chopsticks there was to see if she would try to run away.
When I got back at noon, I cleared the table. I was in a good mood. I checked the home security camera footage, and she didn't try to run away, nor did she break any dishes and hide the pieces...
I set out lunch, quietly stepped back a distance, and then called her over to eat.
She sat down to eat silently, and when we made eye contact, she would still tremble with fear...
I comforted myself: This is already good enough, at least she didn't think about running away...
I was thinking, if she were even closer to me, that would be even better... then I could take care of her forever...
Seeing her finish the meal she made made me feel much better. I was thinking about what delicious food I should make for her tonight.
Several days passed like this. Every day I brought her three meals, quietly watched her finish eating, and then cleaned up before going to work...
Since I've decided to raise her, I'll take good care of her. I specifically looked up information, such as the clothes, jewelry, and daily necessities that girls need...
I've prepared lots of comfortable clothes and shoes for her... and bought some jewelry and bags too... I just don't know if she'll like them...
She behaved very obediently, but I didn't dare to gamble; I was afraid she would run away... I still didn't unlock the chains...
Unexpectedly, one day she secretly looked at me for a while to make sure I wouldn't hurt her, and then she started talking to me.
She said her name was He Yunqi, and she asked me what my name was.
I was really flattered that she would tell me her real name... Does that mean she's not just afraid of me?
I said my name is Chen Xi.
Then I heard her utter the name "Chen Xi"...
That sounds so nice! I hope she'll call me that more often!
She said, "Chen Xi, do you have any ointment? My foot hurts a little..."
I'm so damn stupid! I didn't even notice that her foot was chafed by the chain. The chain rubbed against the wound, and the newly scabbed area reopened... The bad spots started bleeding again...
I'm so sorry, I'll get the ointment right away... I just really wanted someone with me, I didn't want to hurt her... I just wanted her to stay with me, I really didn't want her to get hurt...
