Chapter 101 His Memories
When Ruan Yi ripped off the soft cloth covering her eyes, she was almost blinded by the pink hue that filled the room.
The walls were peach pink, the curtains were layers of lace, and even the carpet was a soft pink velvet. In the corner, there were several large, fluffy plush toys.
She stared at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling and couldn't help but twitch her lips.
How old is she? Even if you want to imprison her, can't you at least provide her with a more mature cage?
The chaotic scene of being abducted and put into the car flashed through my mind.
When Gu Zhi shoved her into the back seat, Ruan Yi was already struggling like a cockroach turning over, flailing her arms and legs.
They've started randomly slapping people.
He was still muttering, "Let me go!" "Help! Is anyone there? My brother has gone mad!"
But her strength was no match for Gu Zhi. He pressed down on the back of her neck with just one hand and lowered his head to silence her with a kiss.
He didn't say anything, but as if he were addicted to kissing, each kiss became more intense than the last. When his tongue pried open her teeth, Ruan Yi even tasted the blood from where she had bitten them.
The more she struggled, the tighter the man's hand gripped her waist.
Until one moment, she felt a sharp, burning pain as something hard poked her through the thin fabric of her clothes.
Ruan Yi seemed to have been put on pause, frozen like a stone.
The rest of the journey was eerily quiet; I was completely speechless.
The man held her like that, his chin resting on the top of her head, breathing evenly, enjoying it like he was petting a cat, even though that "cat" was already incredibly agitated.
Gu Zhi even raised his hand and gently patted her back, his movements so natural that it was as if they were still the same natural and intimate brother and sister they used to be.
Ruan Yi was tense all over, and cold sweat poured down her back, fearing that he would lose his beastly nature.
But the man's embrace was just too familiar and too warm.
During the bumpy ride, she actually drifted off to sleep, and when she woke up, this was the state she was in.
The door was pushed open.
"Gu Zhi, are you aware that the 'affordable luxury' style is currently in vogue?"
The first thing the girl blurted out was to complain about the overly flashy pink princess-style decor.
A smile spread across the man's eyes. He took two steps to the bedside, picked up the soft cloth that had just covered Ruan Yi's eyes, and played with it in his palm.
Clearly, no one expected that the first thing the girl thought of after being imprisoned would be to carelessly complain about her dissatisfaction with the renovation.
"Too pink?" He chuckled, raising an eyebrow as he reached out and tugged at the lace trim of the sheet. "It's alright..."
"My room has the understated luxury style that my sister wanted."
The lamplight cast sharply defined shadows on his face, and the man's eyes held an unyielding darkness.
"Sister doesn't have to sleep in this room tonight."
Ruan Yi watched as the man calmly uttered such lewd words, and she recalled the suffocating hardness she felt in the car just now.
The shame had barely subsided when it surged back up again.
My sweet, angelic younger brother has suddenly turned into an invincible succubus who keeps spouting lewd remarks. I just can't accept it!
A surge of shame mixed with anger welled up inside Ruan Yi, causing her to raise her voice by eight octaves.
"Gu Zhi, what's wrong with you?"
My gaze swept across the man's shirt fabric, past his shoulders, and I could vaguely see the marks of bandages.
It was probably because Gu Zhi was injured when he shielded her from the glass shards when the window was broken.
It's true that I'm angry, and it's also true that I feel sorry for you.
"Gu Zhi! Stop playing tricks on me, can you explain yourself clearly? Why are you doing this?"
"Do you like me? Do you have a sister complex? Oh my god..." Ruan Yi paused, then tried to think of something a little better.
"Or is it that you just like my type?"
The man looked at the girl's agitated state, his fingertips tracing the soft cloth, and his voice deepened.
"I've never really considered you my older sister."
However, what the man didn't say was that he genuinely liked calling her "sister."
For him, it was mostly a matter of romance, especially when they were very close. The thought of calling her by such a taboo name in the heat of passion was just...
"What the hell is this awful dialogue! Which melodramatic novel did you learn it from?"
Ruan Yi almost laughed out of anger, grabbed the cushion next to her and threw it hard.
"Why didn't you just say you had these thoughts? Instead, you pulled this whole stunt on me, forcibly kissing me and kidnapping me. What do you take me for, a piece of meat on a chopping board?"
The man easily caught the cushion, looked up at him, and his eyes held a hint of questioning.
He's said it so many times, but what happened?
"If I tell my sister, will she agree?"
Ruan Yi suddenly got stuck.
What she really thought was that she couldn't do it.
The man clearly saw through her momentary hesitation, and his chuckle was tinged with bitterness and self-mockery.
"But... what if!"
Ruan Yi quickly raised her voice, as if to drown out her guilty conscience, "What if you had explained yourself earlier! Isn't it just that I respond better to gentle persuasion than force?"
"If you seduce me a few times, maybe I'll... I'll fall for it!"
The more she listened, the more she realized how reasonable it made, and her brows furrowed even more.
"You're quite something, aren't you? You can't even be bothered with seduction! You just resort to mind control and drugging right from the start. Are you even thinking straight?"
"I—I never seduced my sister?"
The man's eyes were full of genuine self-mockery.
At his most frequent, he would seduce someone up to 10,000 times a day.
"Why didn't he try to seduce her?"
"He was practically ready to strip naked and offer himself to Ruan Yi in bed."
His childhood.
The boy awoke from his daze on that scorching morning sun.
My fingertips touched a thick, warm substance.
The tangled images from last night's dream instantly flashed into his mind; in his dream, the girl's hair kept brushing against his wrist as she moved.
The boy suddenly stood up, his ears turning bright red.
Silently, she got up, took the pants she had changed out of, and went into the bathroom. As the water splashed, the face reflected in the mirror showed a stubbornness in her eyes that she herself was unaware of.
From that day on, someone's grand plan of seduction began.
He casually took off his soaked workout clothes in front of Ruan Yi, revealing his sweat-glistening abs, to see if she would glance over.
He deliberately choked while drinking water, letting the water flow over his Adam's apple, down his neck, and into his collar, tensing his chest muscles as she reached out to wipe it for him.
After exercising, he deliberately blocked his sister at the kitchen door, his chest heaving as he panted heavily, watching her reaction to his deliberately suppressed breathing.
Even when Ruan Yi was staying up late doing her homework, she practically came to her door naked, her voice hoarse, "Sister, I can't sleep..."
As a result, Ruan Yi kicked him out because he had to finish his homework.
He had always known that his sister was lustful, and he had long since figured out her straightforward appreciation for beautiful bodies hidden beneath her carefree personality.
That's why he went to great lengths to seduce her with the most primal attraction.
The silence in the bedroom stretched out for a long time.
Upon hearing this question, Ruan Yi tried her best to organize and recall the jumbled memories in her mind.
The details she had overlooked gradually became clear: Gu Zhi did seem to dislike wearing clothes and made strange noises.
She was worried that her younger brother might have asthma...
If all of these are taken into account, well, Gu Zhi does seem to have been quite obviously seducing her.
But what was she thinking at the time?
Oh, she's probably annoyed by the tacky gift from one of her suitors, or complaining that the male lead in her new drama isn't handsome enough.
As a pampered young lady who has been cherished since childhood, she has never stopped being courted and tempted. Who would pay special attention to her younger brother?
Besides...
She really didn't like younger men before!
Ruan Yi stood with her hands on her hips, deep in thought, and then sighed softly.
Although she's also a sucker for good looks, he's her younger brother! And she's the kind of person who sees him through a lens of familial affection.
Who told him to be so blatant in his seduction methods? What if he had used a different approach...?
Who can be sure that things won't develop this way now?
My thoughts were wandering aimlessly when I suddenly heard a soft grinding sound from across the way.
Ruan Yi snapped out of her daze and met Gu Zhi's deep gaze.
Seeing the girl's distracted expression, the man clenched his fists until they turned white, swallowing his emotions.
It seems that he is in pain.
As an adopted child, Gu Zhi knew from the moment he stepped into the Ruan family that Ruan Yi was different from him.
Ruan Yi's world is always full of sunshine, and her embraces are always warm. Before Cheng Huaiyuan left, he would carry her on his shoulders and walk her all over the street.
After the engagement was finalized, no matter how stubborn Shen Xun was, he couldn't hide his feelings for Ruan Yi in his eyes.
Even he himself, didn't he give all his favoritism to her?
Ruan Yi is never lacking in emotions; in fact, she is so enveloped in love that it almost overflows.
Gu Zhi had seen her screaming in front of the TV when she was chasing after celebrities, changing her "husband" every three days, her eyes sparkling.
He could only sit next to his sister and watch. Even though he knew they were celebrities, he still felt incredibly envious, but he didn't even have the right to be jealous.
Because he is just the younger brother.
He knew all too well that those cheap, casual gestures of goodwill were simply not worth Ruan Yi's time.
As her mother, Ruan Ying had always been her role model, so... she was able to stand aside indifferently from a very young age, watching the boys fight over her, while remaining calm and unperturbed herself.
The little affection he received was only because of his brother's status as a relative.
The boy guarded this identity, watching her smile and make a scene with others, and the panic in his heart gradually spread.
Until one night, he looked at the love letter that had appeared in the girl's schoolbag for the umpteenth time.
He clearly realized that if things continued like this, he would forever remain the younger brother.
Wanting too much, yet unable to wait, he resorted to the most extreme method to completely pull her in...
In his despicable world.
When Gu Zhi began to delve into those thick psychology books, he studied the cold theories and analyzed the weaknesses of the human heart. But when he turned to the last page, his pen always hovered over the word "dependence".
But what he wanted was never just that.
In order to find a more precise method, he anonymously infiltrated forums hidden deep within the dark web.
The screen reflected the boy's youthful yet gloomy face as he watched anonymous IDs flaunt their "achievements."
“That little woman can’t live without me now. Yesterday, she was only half an hour late when she came home, and she knelt down crying and begging me not to leave.”
“Mine was the same. She cut ties with her family for me, gave me her bank card, and said she only wanted to be with me.”
The morbid desire for control conveyed between the lines made his stomach churn and tighten, yet he couldn't help but compare it to something else.
His intentions were never like this.
Even though she was entangled with his hints and guidance, Ruan Yi never truly "needed" him.
At most, she would naturally lean over and rub against his shoulder when he deliberately approached, or she would helplessly but indulgently open her arms when he said "Sister, hug me".
Ruan Yi's world remains complete, with her hobbies, her friends, and she even occasionally mentions that she has taken a liking to a new handsome guy.
The girl's eyes were so clear that they showed no fear or dependence that one would expect from someone being manipulated.
He used the most despicable means, but all he got in return was a little more affection from her.
It's like petting a familiar kitten, not a believer's conversion to a deity.
Late at night, the boy stood outside his sister's bedroom door, listening to the even breathing coming from inside.
He had also thought that if he had stopped, and watched her live the life that was rightfully hers—marrying Shen Xun, or marrying anyone Ruan Yi found pleasing, living a dazzling life under the envious gazes of countless people…
The thought had barely crossed my mind when it was crushed by the throbbing pain in my heart.
Girls always seem delicate, but in reality, their wings are stronger than anyone else's.
Even Shen Xun's wicked nature couldn't hold her back in the slightest. Those suitors who came one after another were nothing but fleeting clouds in Ruan Yi's eyes.
She will only fly to where she likes and land on branches that make her feel comfortable.
Their emotions are as direct as a child's; they laugh when they like something and frown and avoid it when they don't.
If he were to say "I like you" openly and honestly.
Ruan Yi would probably pause for a moment, then stroke his head, her tone gentle yet helpless, "A-Zhi, you're still young, you'll meet better girls in the future."
His older sister would patiently guide him and gently push him back into his younger brother's place.
Why can't Ruan Yi like men younger than herself?
Why did Gu Zhi have to be born later than her and still have the title of her younger brother?
The corridor light fell on the boy's nose, and he slowly clenched his fist.
Go even worse, go even more despicable, and use those underhanded methods to the extreme!
Perhaps only in this way... can she truly focus her gaze on him.
Ruan Yi never needed him.
He needs Ruan Yi.
"Without my older sister"
"He will die."
The silence in the bedroom stretched on for too long.
Seeing Gu Zhi remain silent, Ruan Yi felt an inexplicable sense of irritation intensify.
Just as her anger was rising, she braced herself on the mattress to get up, when she suddenly felt a slight pulling sensation in her ankle.
"Um?"
Ruan Yi paused for a moment, then subconsciously lifted her foot, only to find the resistance becoming more pronounced.
The moment he looked down, his pupils contracted sharply.
A golden chain extends from the foot of the bed, with the other end fastened to her right ankle.
The part of the chain that comes into contact with the skin is covered with a thick layer of velvet that feels as soft as cotton.
So much so that she didn't feel any restraint when she woke up or even moved around in bed.
The velvet was light pink, which strangely matched the room's decor, but made the cold metal clasp stand out even more.
"Gu Zhi!" The girl's voice turned somber.
Are you serious?
