The surrounding air froze for a moment.
He smiled and tucked Gu Baiwei's stray hairs behind her ears one by one, his voice chilling: "Sister, if you make me unhappy, I can't guarantee what I might do to them."
When she met those eyes, which were as cold and sinister as a venomous snake even when they were smiling, she felt a chill run down her spine.
What exactly do you want to do?
Her grip on the hem of her clothes tightened slowly, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
"Sister, don't use so much force, it will hurt your hand."
Qi Yu reached out and grabbed her hand, smiling as she gently pried open her tightly clenched fingers one by one and held them in her palm.
He then smiled faintly at her and said, "I don't want to do anything, I just want my sister to stay obediently by my side."
"You're a madman! You're a madman!"
Gu Baiwei reached out and grabbed the plate next to her, then smashed it at him.
The plate of hot food shattered on his forehead, leaving a shallow cut from which bright red blood slowly seeped.
He casually raised his hand to wipe it away, then licked the remaining blood from his fingertips clean.
Then, with a gentle expression, she took another plate and placed it in Gu Baiwei's hand: "Sister, smash as many plates as you like, as long as you're happy."
“As long as you eat properly, you can vent your anger however you want.” He continued with a smile, “However, if you try to make me feel sorry for you by going on a hunger strike, what you’ll see tomorrow might be their corpses.”
He spoke the most cruel and heartless words in the gentlest tone, and the chill in his voice made Gu Baiwei shiver involuntarily.
Although the room was warm and comfortable, at this moment, Gu Baiwei felt as if her whole body was immersed in icy water, and she couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Qi Yu straightened up, picked up the empty tray, and said with a smile, "Sister, you rest for a while, I'll make another one."
As he spoke, he suddenly reached out and touched the top of her head: "Sister, be good, or I can't guarantee what I might do. After all, apart from you, everyone else is worthless to me."
After saying that, he walked out the door in a very good mood.
Soon, the familiar sound of stir-frying came from outside the door again.
A middle-aged woman walked into the room with her head down, quickly tidied up the things on the floor, and thoughtfully poured her a cup of hot water and placed it on the table before leaving.
When the room fell silent again, Gu Baiwei felt completely exhausted and leaned against the headboard. This man was terrifying.
I wonder where Yueyue and Li are now, and Datou too...
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she reached into her pocket for her phone, but couldn't find it anywhere. Feeling a little dejected, she leaned against the headboard and closed her eyes.
Yes, someone as cautious as Qi Yu would never let her keep her phone.
In fact, she couldn't remember many things clearly, but for some reason, she could clearly remember how terrifying this man was.
Without a cell phone to call for help, she could only lean against the headboard and think about how to escape.
Before I could come up with a useful solution, the door was opened again.
Qi Yu, just like before, walked in with a smile and a tray.
The tray held the same dishes as before: a bowl of shredded pork noodles, a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, and a plate of flavored eggplant.
He naturally picked up the bowl of noodles, brought it to her lips, and said with a smile, "Sister, try it and see how it is."
Gu Baiwei's gaze fell on his forehead, which had a band-aid on it, and she pursed her lips: "I can eat by myself."
She reached out to take the bowl, but Qi Yu said with a smile, "But I want to feed my sister."
Although he was still smiling, his tone was undeniably assertive.
A brief, deathly silence fell over the air as their gazes met. Gu Baiwei lowered her eyes first and bit into the noodles on her chopsticks.
She now understands very well that she has no right to say no to him at the moment.
"That's a good girl, sister. You have to be a good girl and stay by my side from now on."
Qi Yu continued feeding her in a good mood.
Gu Baiwei didn't actually have much of an appetite, but she was afraid of upsetting him, so she forced herself to eat a little.
After eating half a bowl of noodles and some vegetables, she shook her head and said, "I'm done eating."
"Okay, then I'll take my sister out for a walk."
He happily put down the bowl, reached for his coat and draped it over her shoulders, then extended his hand to her.
After a moment's hesitation, she obediently placed her hand on his.
His pale, thin hand instantly enveloped her soft little hand, and he happily intertwined his fingers with hers: "Sister, I'm so happy right now."
Gu Baiwei resisted the urge to pull her hand away and tentatively asked, "Then could you let me see Yueyue and the others?"
After asking that question, she nervously observed his expression.
"Sister, I hope that right now you only have me in your heart and only look at me."
He reached out and pulled her collar up: "Sister, don't make me unhappy, or you know what will happen."
Hearing him say that, her heart sank instantly, and she dared not continue the conversation about seeing them.
"Be a good boy and I'll let you see them."
He reached out and gently ruffled the top of her hair, his voice soft.
Gu Baiwei could only obediently let him take her hand and go for a walk.
Stepping outside, I discovered that this was actually a small village.
As evening fell, wisps of white smoke rose everywhere in the village.
They didn't see many people on the road, so Qi Yu held her hand tightly and walked slowly around the village, taking very slow steps.
The two walked around most of the village when he suddenly turned to her and asked, "Sister, do you like it here?"
After a moment of silence, she nodded gently. If she hadn't been forced to be with him, she would have quite liked this quiet and vibrant little village.
It was like... like what? She couldn't quite remember.
Qi Yu was delighted by her words and said in a very good mood, "If you like it, sister, how about we stay here forever?"
This time, Gu Baiwei neither nodded nor shook her head, but simply looked at him and asked, "Why me?"
"Sister, what are you saying?"
He looked down at her with a puzzled expression. When their eyes met, Gu Baiwei spoke again: "Why do you have to be with me? There are plenty of women who are prettier and smarter than me. You don't need to waste your time on me."
"Sister, are you kidding me? Whether in the past or now, the only person I've ever loved is you."
His words, which were almost a confession, made Gu Baiwei unhappy at all.
At that moment, she realized even more clearly that this man was a complete madman.
Just because of a simple "I like you," he could imprison her and even hurt everyone around her.
She didn't want to waste any more words with him, so she quickened her pace and walked forward.
Qi Yu, however, continued to stride alongside her, seemingly unconcerned, and the two walked closely together, appearing quite intimate.
As she reached the village entrance, a pleasant male voice, tinged with doubt, suddenly came from behind her: "Miss Gu?"
