"No, no need..."
Shen Zhiyi grabbed his hand, like a fish swimming in a dried-up pond, grasping at the last bit of thin air, desperately gasping for breath.
"Young Master, is it really necessary..."
Fu Yinzhou sensed her refusal, saw the thin tears at the corners of her eyes, and the way she shook her head in an effort. In the end, he was afraid of scaring her, so he didn't force her.
He sighed regretfully.
I didn't go any further; I just held her and calmed myself down.
"Zhizhi, don't be afraid." He buried his face in her neck, turned his head, and kissed the corner of her moist eye with tender and gentle movements, sealing and swallowing the tears that were about to fall with his thin lips.
I will not hurt you without your permission.
He held her in his arms, and with a sudden movement, rolled her over so that she could lean gently against him. He patted her back reassuringly.
"I just need you so much."
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he tightened his grip on her arm. "If I scared you, I apologize."
He doesn't consider himself a good person.
Even because of the pain his legs caused him, and because of those dark and twisted days without her, he gradually turned himself into a strange and abnormal madman and pervert.
No one can stand him.
He also cannot accept others normally.
But the understanding is different.
He wouldn't force her unless she was willing or unwilling.
He was even willing to temporarily become a normal person for her sake.
Even hidden beneath this impeccably dressed exterior lies a restless, twisted heart, yearning to tear everything apart.
He was also willing to learn to be calm for her sake.
He will wait until the day she says "yes".
When she... finally accepts herself.
Fu Yinzhou, driven by his desire to possess her and his furious roars demanding her broken body, fought against the torment alone.
Shen Zhiyi closed her eyes, leaning against his chest, listening to his passionate heart still pounding violently.
But he chose to endure it.
She lowered her eyelashes, and amidst a fleeting blush of shyness, she gently curved the corners of her lips into a smile.
Everyone says that Fu Yinzhou is irritable, difficult to deal with, and unpredictable.
But why does she feel that...?
Is he very gentle?
Is it out of compassion for the patient?
However, having worked as a psychologist for so long, she had long since learned that when empathizing with the fate of others, she would never project her own feelings onto them, nor would she allow these experiences to trigger unnecessary emotions in herself, thereby affecting her own life.
All she did was listen and accept.
Understanding is healing.
But for Fu Yinzhou, it seems there's more to it than that.
She felt a concern for him that went beyond that of a patient, and... a desire to know more about him.
...
This went on for more than half a month.
Fu Yinzhou returned later and later each day.
His face grew paler day by day.
The treatment gradually showed improvement.
The repeated torment of the treatment process and the varying degrees of drug reactions made every minute and every second he experienced extremely difficult to bear.
He nearly suffocated several times.
Ai Lu advised him to stay at the sanatorium, but no matter how late it was, Fu Yinzhou insisted on going home.
Sometimes, Shen Zhiyi would stay awake and keep him company for a while.
His health will improve significantly.
Sometimes, when Shen Zhiyi couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell asleep early, Fu Yinzhou would instruct the housekeeper not to wake her.
Only when they could no longer hold on would they pass through the hidden door that separated them, to see her peaceful sleeping face, and to smell her scent.
Afraid of waking her again, he didn't kiss her as boldly as before.
He simply used his gaze, a burning gaze, to gently "lick and kiss" her face...
Shen Zhiyi discovered that whenever she mentioned "treatment," Fu Yinzhou would immediately change his attitude, trying to find ways to change the subject and giving her a displeased look, telling her not to try to persuade him anymore.
Shen Zhiyi felt very discouraged.
Logically speaking, as she spent more and more time by his side, their relationship had long since become closer than that of ordinary people.
However, her persuasion not only failed to arouse any hesitation in him, but instead provoked a more intense rejection than the average person.
She couldn't understand it.
Is it someone deliberately targeting me?
Or has he already discovered that he was sent by Ai Lu to persuade him?
She couldn't quite grasp his thoughts.
The deadline is approaching.
She even considered giving up early.
The last time.
Shen Zhiyi gave herself one last chance to persuade him.
If she fails again, she will terminate the contract early.
That day.
Shen Zhiyi sat in the living room and waited for a long time, until the moon disappeared behind the clouds, but Fu Yinzhou still hadn't returned.
She yawned.
I looked up and saw the clock on the wall.
It's already past 1 a.m.
All the servants in the villa, except for the butler, had already gone to bed.
She leaned back on the sofa, feeling drowsy.
When she woke up again, it was already past nine in the morning.
Shen Zhiyi was startled and jumped up from the sofa.
The blanket covering her slipped off.
She picked it up and frowned slightly, looking puzzled.
Who built it for her?
She looked around and found that there was no one in the villa at all.
At this hour, the servants should already be up and cleaning.
She ran upstairs.
They discovered that Fu Yinzhou's room was also empty.
Just then, the phone in the living room rang, leaving me wondering what was going on.
Shen Zhiyi ran downstairs to meet her again.
It was the housekeeper calling.
"Zhiyi, everyone in the villa had to be transferred out today due to unforeseen circumstances. Young Master saw that you were still asleep, so he didn't wake you up."
"I'll have to trouble you to look after the villa by yourself."
