Xu Zhaozhao's eyelashes trembled slightly.
She turned her head away and called out in a very cold and hard voice, "Baby."
Gu Qingyan frowned slightly. "The king is not satisfied."
In this game, the king has absolute authority.
Xu Zhaozhao called out "baby" a few more times in a fake manner, but Gu Qingyan was still not satisfied.
"Your Majesty, please change it. I really can't do it!"
Xu Zhaozhao really wanted to kneel down in admiration for him.
I should have strangled him just now!!
"good."
Gu Qingyan readily agreed, which made Xu Zhaozhao grit her teeth in hatred.
She sat on the bed, arms crossed, watching Gu Qingyan put on his slippers and walk to the bedside table.
Sizzle.
He gently pulled open the drawer, the sound of it being pulled out clearly in the night.
By the light of the bedside lamp, Xu Zhaozhao saw something with a silvery metallic sheen being taken out.
In an instant, she felt a chill run down her spine, and the fine hairs on her arms stood on end, though they were barely noticeable.
She couldn't maintain her composure and her expression turned cold.
Xu Zhaozhao remembered this thing very clearly—handcuffs.
It can also be described as shackles.
That small, dark room had brought her both physical and mental torment.
Ding-dong.
The two sides collided, producing a crisp metallic clang, which sounded to Xu Zhaozhao like the call of a demon.
Her body trembled slightly, the unbearable memories almost overwhelming her.
Gu Qingyan, holding the handcuffs, gently approached her. Although his face was expressionless, he still managed to frighten Xu Zhaozhao into taking several steps back.
He shrank from one side of the bed to the other.
"I...I won't play these games with you..."
These words came out of Xu Zhaozhao's mouth with difficulty, unable to hide her fear.
She knew very well that if Gu Qingyan used force, she would be powerless to resist.
All the goodwill she had painstakingly built up towards Gu Qingyan seemed to vanish at this moment.
There was no light left in Xu Zhaozhao's eyes.
Gu Qingyan looked at her, then lowered his eyes and raised the cold handcuffs.
Click.
That's the sound of handcuffs locking.
Xu Zhaozhao looked up in surprise and saw him handcuff one of her hands.
Click.
The other end was fastened to a ring on the headboard, a ring used to hang curtains, which ironically made it easier for him to handcuff himself.
He... handcuffed himself?
Xu Zhaozhao's CPU was about to burn out when Gu Qingyan looked up and met her gaze.
There are still some in the drawer.
Gu Qingyan laughed, a laugh that was both obvious and hidden in the darkness. "Then let's play a game of tying up the king, shall we?"
Like the way I tied you up before.
Xu Zhaozhao's pupils contracted slightly; she hadn't expected him to suggest this game.
Gu Qingyan was now tied to the bedside, and Xu Zhaozhao had recovered from the shock, walking unsteadily toward the bedside table drawer.
The chain was too short for him to reach, which is why Xu Zhaozhao had the courage to go there.
Just as he said, Xu Zhaozhao saw clearly in the light that the drawer was full of silver handcuffs, their cold light dazzling to the eye.
Xu Zhaozhao counted them; including the one in Gu Qingyan's hand, there were four.
The only key was placed next to these things.
She didn't touch it, but instead gave Gu Qingyan a wary look. "Why would you keep something like this at home?!"
She didn't even know when he put it there.
Human imagination always amplifies fears; in just a few seconds, Xu Zhaozhao imagined dozens of possibilities.
But... she didn't guess correctly.
"Because I wanted to apologize to you."
Xu Zhaozhao heard an unexpected answer and found his serious face in the darkness.
"OK."
Suddenly, Xu Zhaozhao laughed and took out another one from the drawer. The sound of metal clashing mingled with her laughter.
He slowly approached Gu Qingyan, saying, "Then apologize."
Click.
Without hesitation, Xu Zhaozhao handcuffed his other hand to the ring on the wall.
At this point, Gu Qingyan had lost the freedom of both his hands.
It wasn't over yet; Xu Zhaozhao went back to the drawer and took it out again.
Gu Qingyan took four, but he didn't need them.
Since there were no rings on the ground, Xu Zhaozhao simply tied his feet together.
When he moves, the iron chain makes a pleasant "ringing" sound.
They were fixed to the wall, with a pitifully small range of movement.
Even so, his face remained expressionless.
But when Xu Zhaozhao placed her hand on his loose bow tie, his expression finally cracked.
He was wearing a bathrobe because he had taken a second shower and his pajamas were still drying.
With just a gentle tug from Xu Zhaozhao, he was utterly powerless to resist.
Seeing Gu Qingyan's calm expression broken, Xu Zhaozhao felt a strange sense of pleasure, and she smiled.
Under Gu Qingyan's uneasy gaze, he slowly moved his hand away and placed it on Gu Qingyan's handcuffed right wrist.
It slipped inside the wide sleeve and rubbed his forearm haphazardly, sending shivers of tingling sensation through him.
Gu Qingyan's entire body tensed up.
Gurgle.
He swallowed hard, his lips moved slightly, just as he was about to say something.
The sensation on my forearm vanished like a gust of wind.
Xu Zhaozhao turned around, reached out with her long arm and grabbed all the playing cards on the bed before turning back.
"The punishment is over, now we can continue playing the game!"
Anyone could hear the cunning in her words.
At this point, her memory was actually quite good.
A smile appeared on Gu Qingyan's lips without him even realizing it.
Maybe he really is a pervert.
Despite having my mobility restricted, I didn't feel uncomfortable at all; on the contrary, I was somewhat looking forward to it.
"Um."
He responded to Xu Zhaozhao with a hoarse, nasal voice.
Xu Zhaozhao stood right in front of him, no more than a fist's width away. She spread out all the cards, lowered her eyes, and carefully selected three cards.
Hearts 5, 2, 1.
This time, Xu Zhaozhao very kindly asked Gu Qingyan for his opinion, "Let's choose a 'ghost' card, baby~"
She smiled, her voice rising at the end, sounding even better than the dozen or so forceful "baby"s she had just uttered. Gu Qingyan immediately clenched his fist.
His breathing quickened.
Several seconds later, Xu Zhaozhao heard his hoarse voice, "1."
"Okay, sure."
After Xu Zhaozhao agreed, she turned the three cards over, but did not shuffle them. "Draw them."
Gu Qingyan's movement was restricted, and he couldn't reach her to draw cards at all.
"Oh! You can't smoke."
Before he could speak, Xu Zhaozhao feigned surprise and exclaimed, clearly not intending to give him a chance to slap her.
"Then... let's take the one closest to us."
It sounds reasonable at first glance, but it doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
Xu Zhaozhao did not shuffle the cards. The card closest to Gu Qingyan was "5", and the card closest to herself was "1".
They went to great lengths to cheat.
