Chapter 84
"But I've already said I can protect myself. I made preparations and plans before I went, and I can guarantee my own safety!"
"How can we guarantee it? How can we prepare?"
Chu Wen interrupted her sharply and questioned her.
"No bodyguards, no parents or friends, and I'm not here either. Who can protect you? That purple-haired guy?"
Chu Wen took a deep breath, his voice trembling: "Chao Chao, what was your situation when I came in? Do I need to remind you?"
Chu Muchao was stunned for a moment, then remained silent.
She knew of the system's existence and possessed some practical magical skills. The system could also remind and guide her within her consciousness.
But from Chu Wen's perspective, he was unaware of these things.
All he knew was that she was taken to a room upstairs through a secret passage, and that someone had spiked her drink.
If he hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Chu Muchao slowly raised his hand, wanting to take Chu Wen's hand.
Chu Wen almost instinctively swung away, but quickly returned, grasping her wrist and squeezing it tightly in his palm.
"You really are very disobedient."
Oh no, Chu Wen is so angry now.
Should she pretend to faint?
I advise you not to do this. He will take you away immediately, and I cannot go in with my current true form to help you.
Chu Muchao: What kind of prisoner play is he going to do?
【^-^ If you think this is just play, then pretend I didn't say anything.】
Hmm.
Is this what a gentle, warm voice sounds like when it's angry? Or is it still very gentle?
No, snap out of it.
She was almost driven to the brink of collapse by the constant noises.
Chu Muchao let Chu Wen hold his wrist and instead shook his arm with him.
"Brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so curious, and I shouldn't have disregarded my own safety and made you worry. There won't be a next time."
"Too late."
After Chu Wen finished speaking in a cold voice, he sat up straight and looked away.
-
Chu Muchao was still taken to Chu Wen's residence.
No one has lived here for a long time, and the rose petals that covered the ground have all dried up.
Chu Wen frowned, bent down, picked up the person, and went straight into the room.
The master bedroom was clean and tidy, with a faint, pleasant scent of forest trees and grass.
The room, with its predominantly blue-gray color scheme, should have made its owner appear more melancholic and reserved. However, the moment Chu Wen placed him on the bed, Chu Mu looked up and clearly saw a raging fire burning in his dark and gloomy eyes.
"abnormal."
Chu Muchao cursed.
Chu Wen straightened up: "I'll clean up the trash outside, then I'll come back and deal with you."
Chu Muchao lazily lay down on the bed: "Comparing me to trash, I'm going to get angry."
Chu Wen's cold gaze swept over her before he left the master bedroom.
As soon as the room door closed, Chu Muchao mentally shouted "System!"
【^-^ Seeing you still having the leisure to flirt with your boyfriend, I'm afraid I might be meddling and disturbing Miss Mumu.】
Chu Muchao: So you didn't find a chance to stop him? How long can your body last?
"Not necessarily. This is my first time using this wish card too. It's related to your magic, and I can't predict the time. I'm right outside the door. What do you need me to do?"
She didn't want to provoke Chu Wen unless absolutely necessary.
Chu Muchao leaned against the headboard, looking around the room.
There's no wardrobe here, and not much furniture either; this is probably the room he uses to sleep when he occasionally comes back for a few days.
The rose petals scattered all over the living room floor, and the deflated balloons that she glimpsed on the wall when she entered the room, all told her what the owner had previously decorated this place for.
She likes Chu Wen.
From childhood to adulthood, the person she had the most contact with was Chu Wen.
Among the men he met, Chu Wen was exceptional in terms of looks, physique, personality, and emotional intelligence.
She thought that if it were her six months ago, she definitely wouldn't have dragged Chu Wen along like this, knowing that he wanted to use this house to confess his feelings to her but refusing to come, knowing that Chu Wen would be angry and jealous but not restraining herself.
If she were still the same lazy, unambitious person she was six months ago, she would have agreed to Chu Wen's request.
For her at that time, all she wanted was to be happy. She wanted to be a little princess who was pampered and loved by her parents and brother.
But now, her mindset has changed.
She would still find Chu Wen handsome and sexy, be attracted to him, feel heartache when she saw him flustered, feel nervous when she was jealous, and feel angry and afraid.
But at the same time, she also knew that agreeing to Chu Wen's request meant putting a shackle on herself.
Chu Wen's possessiveness and desire for control will only become more intense and uncontrollable, even more excessive than before, gradually encroaching on her life.
Now, Chu Wen may still have concerns, whether he is worried that she will be angry or leave. In any case, he will still restrain himself.
Once they truly become lovers and break through that almost transparent barrier, everything spirals out of control.
She didn't want it to be like this.
Chu Muchao: I remember you said that even if you don't encounter any trouble, you can still try using magic, right?
You can give it a try.
Chu Muchao took out the black pen he had hidden in his pocket, rolled over, and got out of bed.
Chu Wen was sweeping up the dried flower petals in the living room.
He was still wearing his shirt, with the sleeves rolled up to his arms, revealing his well-defined muscles.
Pfft, it evokes a heartwarming scene of a rough-and-tumble villager working.
—It is true.
—I demand that Chu Wen let me leave, and that we never see each other again until the New Year.
"Chaochao, go back to your room."
Chu Wen noticed Chu Muchao coming out, stopped what he was doing, and looked at her with a deep gaze.
Huh?
Something seems off?
Chu Muchao tentatively asked, "Brother, can I go home?"
"No, go in."
The answer was firm and decisive, leaving no room for negotiation.
It didn't work!
Chu Muchao's eyes widened in horror.
He gripped the pen in his hand even tighter.
—It came true!
—Let Chu Wen go inside to take a shower and go to sleep! Don't let your mind wander to romance; think about how to be a good young person who is useful to society and the country!
Try again.
Chu Muchao spoke again in a soft, low voice.
"Brother, do you want to take a shower and go to bed now?"
"Delaying won't help. Go inside and wait, or if you can't wait, you can clean up the trash later."
Chu Wen's words sounded like a final warning.
"Okay, okay."
Chu Muchao was so frightened that he quickly returned to his room.
System! System!
It's no use!
This is the first time her magic has failed to work!
What's going on?!
I burst into tears!
Even magic didn't work, so how was she supposed to leave? She couldn't exactly call the police and have Chu Wen arrested, could she?
It's better to completely rid yourself of the "love-struck" mentality.
Chu Muchao: ?
[If the opponent's willpower is extremely strong, and their obsession with doing something is too intense—stronger than your magic level and your willpower—the magic may fail.]
...
Does Chu Wen really want to sleep with her that much?
【^-^？】
-
Chu Wen finally fell asleep in the middle of the night.
Chu Muchao quietly got out of bed, and as soon as she moved, a thick arm came over and tightly hugged her waist.
She was so frightened that she tensed up, held her breath, and didn't dare to move for a long time.
After finally managing to get out of bed, Chu Muchao squatted down beside the bed and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
After resting for a while, I quickly picked up the clothes scattered on the bed, put them on, and tiptoed out of the room.
The room door was gently closed, and at the same time, the main door was opened from the outside.
Chu Muchao quickly held his breath and looked towards the door, barely daring to breathe.
"Come out, he won't wake up now."
The corridor lights illuminated the gentle eyes beneath her purplish-gray hair.
Chu Muchao breathed a sigh of relief.
"You didn't say you were still there."
He smiled and said, "I don't want to repeat the details of what I see every time. Let's go."
Chu Muchao's eyes widened immediately: "Every time you do this? You have this kind of fetish?"
"If you don't leave, I'll wake him up for you."
Chu Muchao quickly grabbed his arm and pulled him outside, saying, "Let's go, let's go, let's go quickly, we can't come a fourth time."
It's late at night, and there are almost no cars or people on the road.
As they walked downstairs, Chu Muchao paused again.
"Can't you conjure up a car?"
He smiled: "Your demands on the system are a bit too high. If I appear in your world with this body, my magic will be halved."
Then let's take a few steps.
She went to the next block and found a hotel owned by MZ. She decided to stay there for the night, take a shower, and get some rest.
"You may escape today, but he'll come back tomorrow. Without the help of magic, how do you plan to deal with it?" the system asked.
Chu Muchao remained silent for a while.
The system laughed again: "You seem to be deep in thought, but you're actually out of ideas. Is that right?"
Chu Muchao: "How annoying."
If she knew how to deal with Chu Wen, she wouldn't have sneaked away so late at night.
Chu Wen was unmoved by either soft or hard tactics.
Charm didn't work, threats didn't work, so I used all my strength on her.
She was truly at her wit's end.
The woman beside him had her lips tightly closed, but her mind was racing.
His eyelids drooped slightly, his gaze falling on her profile, then moving down to her fair neck, where he saw an unsightly red mark.
"If you can't reciprocate his feelings right now, why not escalate the conflict between you and make him back down?"
“It didn’t work,” Chu Muchao shook his head. “I threatened him, didn’t you hear me?”
"That's because he knows your feelings. If he can't grasp your feelings for him, he'll become cautious and think twice before he speaks."
ah……
Isn't that the same as Chu Wen before?
Thinking of Chu Wen, who used to suppress his feelings, afraid to be jealous or have any physical contact with her, I felt sorry for him...
It's not that she dislikes Chu Wen, but there's no need to bully him like this...
The system chuckled, "But since you're already in this kind of relationship, if you can't bear to do it, just pretend I didn't say anything. After all, he did all this just for your own good, out of concern for you."
I don't know when it started, but phrases like "for your own good" and "worried about you" have become jarring.
Chu Muchao frowned slightly, feeling inexplicably annoyed.
"Why are you frowning, Miss Mu Mu?" the system asked.
Chu Muchao sighed: "To put it bluntly, he's so angry partly because he's worried, and partly because he probably doesn't trust me. He doesn't believe I can handle this, nor does he believe I'm sober."
The system chuckled, "Why would you think that? His worries stem from several different emotions."
"Yes," Chu Muchao laughed, "It's understandable that he's worried I'll fall into his trap. Since he gave me the position, he should believe in my abilities. Why would he give me the position if he didn't trust me?"
Does it satisfy his need for control?
The system had gentle features, with a faint smile at the corners of its eyes and brows.
"How could that be?"
