Lin Wanxing was always so quiet around him. He was very well-behaved and obedient. He wouldn't look at his legs with strange eyes. Most importantly, he relied on him a lot.
Shen Huai'an liked this feeling very much. It was as if he had a well-behaved kitten by his side. He was too lonely. He had almost no friends and later no family.
He needs such an obedient little thing to lighten his boring life.
Lin Wanxing slept very soundly and didn't even wake up when she got home.
Lin Wanxing had a strange dream. He dreamt of his childhood, of being locked in the attic by his family when he was in school, and of desperately crying and begging them to let him out.
The feeling of despair was suffocating him. In the small attic, he cried while hugging his strawberry bear. He had nowhere to confide his grievances and sadness, so he could only tell the doll in his arms about his grievances.
Over the years, dolls have become his only friends.
Lin Wanxing suddenly shouted in his sleep, "No...don't lock me up!"
He was like someone trapped in a nightmare, struggling endlessly in his dream, like someone stuck in a quagmire unable to escape.
He frowned, repeatedly shouting not to lock him up. He was covered in sweat, his body tense, and his voice choked with emotion, as if he were pleading for something.
Seeing him like this, Shen Huai'an couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Thinking back to how terrified he was by a single sentence from Chen Shuhua and his wife at the banquet, it's likely he's been mistreated in the Chen family all along.
Shen Huai'an had only heard from outsiders that Chen Shuhua had a sick son who needed treatment all year round. Later, it was rumored that Chen Shuhua's son was actually not sick, but that he suddenly became mentally impaired.
It's so pitiful that she's become mentally impaired. Such a beautiful person, and she's gone mentally impaired just like that.
What a pitiful little darling! Now that Chen Shuhua has sent him to his side, he must do his best to cherish this little fool.
Shen Huai'an looked at the boy lying on the bed and suddenly smiled.
He reached out and lovingly stroked Lin Wanxing's cheek with his fair, jade-like fingers. In an instant, his gentle, watery eyes transformed into a terrifying and chilling sight, and his entire aura changed.
His fingers were very nimble. He pinched Lin Wanxing's cheek and then slowly touched the boy's neck. This slender neck was very fragile. If he used too much force, the child would be forever asleep and never wake up again.
But in doing so, he lost a very important work of art. Lin Wanxing was too interesting, and he really couldn't bear to let him fall asleep. He really looked just like Sleeping Beauty.
Shen Huai'an reached out and touched his lips, and sighed:
"It seems that fairy tales didn't teach you how to distinguish between good and bad people. You only defined me as a good person by my appearance. That's ridiculous. You're so stupid."
Shen Huai'an's eyes grew increasingly playful and crazed; his manic state resembled that of a demon that had broken free of its human skin.
During the day, he appears gentle and refined, a gentleman in front of outsiders, but behind closed doors, he is an absolute devil.
"It's better to be stupid, because it's easier to control someone who's stupid."
A strange smile curved his thin lips. Lin Wanxing wanted to be obedient and compliant. He wanted a beautiful and obedient work of art.
Shen Huai'an sat on the edge of the bed, his hands gripping the sides of the blanket. A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and his smile became even more terrifying. The blanket was slowly pulled over Lin Wanxing's face as another, even more horrifying thought arose in his mind.
His mind had already begun to conjure up the scene.
The poignant feeling and that helpless voice were truly thrilling.
Shen Huai'an only thought about it for a moment before gently covering Lin Wanxing with the blanket and tenderly tucking the corners of the blanket around him.
I'm still reluctant to part with him, I really am. Lin Wanxing is so charming, he's truly a delightful surprise.
Shen Huai'an really liked Lin Wanxing so much that he wanted to strangle him.
After covering him with a blanket, Shen Huai'an said gently, "I won't hurt you. I'm a good person, the prince in your heart. I'm your second brother. I will try my best to be a good person, at least in front of you."
He lowered his head and kissed Lin Wanxing's forehead tenderly.
This scene really reminded me of Sleeping Beauty and her prince, but unfortunately, Shen Huai'an is not a prince; he is a devil.
Shen Huai'an placed his hands on Lin Wanxing's ears, lowered his head and smiled as he whispered in her ear, "Good night, baby, sweet dreams."
After saying this, he slowly picked up his cane, stood up, and walked out.
Lin Wanxing was still struggling in her dream, wondering why she was having the same nightmare again.
He missed his little bear so much; tears slowly streamed down his face in his sleep.
Lin Wanxing woke up in the middle of the night with a start. He was covered in cold sweat, his soft hair cascading down his cheeks. He felt sticky and uncomfortable from the sweat. He subconsciously glanced at the clock on the bed.
It was past 1 a.m., and he hadn't had nightmares in a long time. He didn't know why he had been having nightmares lately, but Lin Wanxing didn't think much of it.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, slowly sat up in bed, and turned on the bedside lamp little by little. The warm light made him feel even colder.
He was afraid to go back to the attic, yet also afraid of losing everything he had now.
He sat on the bed for a long time before he recovered; he must have been too tired lately.
The feeling of his pajamas sticking to his body with sweat was very uncomfortable. Lin Wanxing slowly took off his clothes, leaving him completely naked. He slowly walked into the bathroom step by step by the light of the desk lamp.
The bathroom was large, and Lin Wanxing looked around. He sat obediently in the bathtub, soaking in a bubble bath. There were also little ducks in the bathtub.
Lin Wanxing curiously pinched the little gadget, playing with the bubbles in the bathroom with a silly, innocent look in his eyes, completely unaware of the red light flashing in the corner of the bathroom.
