He subconsciously turned his head, and the person holding him stiffened, quickly turning to worry. He saw that the person in his arms was coughing so hard that his face was red, and he couldn't catch his breath for a long time.
Rong Yu panicked immediately. Regardless of whether he was awake or not, he put the medicine aside and gently patted his back to help him catch his breath.
When he finally caught his breath, Geng Qi could no longer keep up the act.
He sat at the head of the bed, and Rong Yu sat beside him, both with their heads down, not saying a word.
The air was thick with awkwardness.
Geng Qi never expected that he would choke on a mouthful of soup; his body was so unreliable!
The other person was clearly even more embarrassed, or rather, nervous.
They secretly fed him tonics, using despicable means to administer them while he was ruining his body to show his determination.
Rong Yu didn't dare ask him if he was awake just now. He had only dared to enter the room after the person had fallen asleep these past two days, and he had also administered a sufficient amount of the 'medicine'. If he was really awake, he must have noticed what he had done.
Where did they slip up?
After a long silence, he heard a soft sigh. He glanced up and saw the person sitting on the bed suddenly turn to the side, take the unfinished soup from the tray on the bedside table, and drink it all in one gulp.
"Don't do that again in the future."
"..."
Rong Yu's eyes darkened slightly, and his hands, hanging at his sides, slowly clenched.
Before he could think further, Geng Qi said, "Have someone send it over, I'll eat it myself."
He spoke calmly, without any hesitation.
Rong Yu was stunned for a moment, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes: "You..."
Just as I was about to ask something, the man lay back down, the chains rattling softly. Looking over, I saw his eyes, which had just lit up, quickly dim again.
Beneath the chains, the brocade quilt was not fully covering her, and her shackled legs were exposed. Her skin was fair, smooth, and slender, so even the slightest mark on her legs would be particularly noticeable.
On the inside of the shackles, where the bones were so thin they bulged out, there was a deep red mark, and even a small patch of skin was rubbed raw. My heart ached, not knowing whether it was because of his injury or because he had caused it himself.
No wonder he was so calm and composed towards him today.
Upon receiving the news that he was willing to eat at the palace, he was overjoyed, feeling as light as if a huge weight had been lifted from his shoulders. However, upon returning to the villa, the truth he witnessed was even more devastating.
He didn't just accept it; he was forced to accept it.
Without food, he has no strength, so how can he escape?
Rong Yu gave a self-deprecating laugh, his expression somber.
Geng Qi was waiting for his next reaction, but when he turned around, he saw that the man was no longer looking at him, but staring at his legs.
Suddenly, his hand was gripped, its palm icy cold. Geng Qi instinctively flinched, but the grip tightened even more.
It's so cold, bro!
Rong Yu ignored him, staring at his ankle and rubbing the wound with his fingertips. Seeing him pull his foot back in pain, he said in a low voice, "It hurts a lot, doesn't it?"
If you know how much it hurts, why don't you let me go right now?
Geng Qi rolled his eyes inwardly, but couldn't bear to upset him, so he composed himself and said, "It's alright."
Rong Yu smiled.
Yes, being treated like this by him, this pain is nothing compared to the pain in my heart.
I thought he would feel guilty, but to my surprise, he hesitated for a moment and said, "If you're afraid of pain, then don't even think about running away."
"..."
The voice was soft, like a lover's whisper in the ear.
Geng Qi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Did he escape?
He just wanted to see if he could untie it. Anyone who woke up and saw themselves like this would want to try, right?
As for the injuries, it's really not his fault. He already had some injuries before he came; he just accidentally broke the skin.
It really didn't hurt that much.
He shook his head inwardly; he hadn't realized this person had the potential to be a yandere.
He didn't answer, and Rong Yu didn't expect him to answer either. She took the ointment and applied the medicine to him gently, as if afraid that he would suffer.
Geng Qi watched as he carefully applied the 'medicine', refusing to remove the shackles, and stayed by the bedside as if worried that he might scratch the wound again.
Feeling heartbroken, Geng Qi moved to the inside of the bed.
Seeing that he was "avoiding" him, Rong Yu was about to leave when he heard the man say, "Go to sleep. I won't move around. You sleep on the outside and remember to turn off the light."
"..."
