Chapter 1: Locked up
In the middle of the night, the sound of car engines and the iron gates of the manor were wide open.
The housekeeper took the coat handed by Shen Zhijin and talked about the same topic as usual: "Miss only read a book for about half an hour today, and the rest of the time is in bed and doesn't do anything else." β
Shen Zhijin paused, his expression was a little impatient: "Didn't you say that you should keep an eye on her and not let her sleep for so long all day long?" β
ββ¦β¦ Didn't sleep. The housekeeper hung his head, and his tone became more and more deferential: "The cook who cooks has specially gone to see it, and she is in bed... Idle. β
Shen Zhijin frowned: "Then eat?" β
"When the three meals were taken away, they were all untouched, and only drank some water."
His face was very dark, and at the end, Shen Zhijin said, "I'll go see her." β
In the innermost room on the right side of the second floor, there lives a master who is secretive to everyone in the manor.
Shen Zhijin twisted the door, and the door was locked from the inside. His expression remained unchanged, and he took the key from the butler and opened it.
She is always so naΓ―ve, and she still wants to hold on to her little world when she has fallen to this point.
It's a pity he won't let it.
The room was pitch black, and the floor-to-ceiling windows were hidden inch by inch by dark curtains, revealing no light.
Shen Zhijin stood at the door without saying a word.
The butler opened his mouth to ask for instructions, but subconsciously closed his mouth after coming into contact with his cold eyes.
He only thought that the young master didn't want to disturb the rest of the people in the house, but he turned on the light in the next moment. As soon as the lights are turned on, you can see everything in the room.
It was a very well furnished room, no doubt about it.
Shen Zhijin didn't have to go to the side of the bed to know that there was no one on the bed, he seemed to have known it a long time ago, and walked to the window without hurrying.
Lifting the corner of the curtain, a person huddled on the windowsill that was narrower than the bed.
The white nightdress couldn't hide the pale and slender ankles, nor could it hide the silver-white iron chains that were encircled at the ankles.
One of the ends of the chain was deep into the wall, and the other was cuffed to the ankle of the girl in front of her.
Shen Zhijin passed through the knee socket with one hand, and wrapped his shoulder and neck with the other, and easily picked the person up horizontally.
The person in his arms was not asleep, and he opened his eyes in a daze, and he didn't react much when he saw that it was him, and he no longer had the appearance that he would lose his temper when he took the key to open the door.
He imprisoned her in chains, and before she knew it, she had long been accustomed to having him by her side.
Shen Zhijin walked to the side of the bed and did not put the person down, still holding him in his arms.
Although the Yu family has declined, its influence in Beijing cannot be underestimated. Coupled with the pressure on him from the Gu family, the stumbling blocks placed on him at will are not easy to solve, and he doesn't know how long he can last.
Yu Mian's quiet and well-behaved appearance tonight is very rare.
He didn't want to open his mouth for a moment to break the situation.
It's been a long time since they've been able to get along peacefully.
After a while, the person in his arms began to struggle, he didn't let go, he couldn't hold back the half-loud Yu Mian at first, and said angrily: "You let go of me!" β
Shen Zhijin was silent, but he was still relieved. Yu Mian rolled to the side, picked up the quilt to cover himself, and only showed a pair of eyes looking at him vigilantly.
If you listen closely, you can hear the crisp sound of chains crumbling as they intertwin.
He inappropriately thought of the little rabbit who protected the turnip, and he was full of momentum, and he was vulnerable to attack with his teeth and claws.
"I heard that you haven't eaten three meals today." Shen Zhijin stood up, irritably unfastened the cufflinks on his right hand, and finally his voice was cold. "Did I say that you can't stop eating?"
Yu Mian clutched the quilt tightly and didn't say a word, making it clear that it was deliberate.
Shen Zhijin looked at the housekeeper standing at the door, and the housekeeper understood and went downstairs. After a while, he brought a few more people into the house.
One person has a tray with a porridge bowl in his hand, and the other has a tray in his hand... Injection. Both of them lowered their heads and did not dare to take another look.
Yu Mian's face turned pale when he saw this, and he was angry: "You threaten me again!" β
"If you don't eat, you will get nutritional injections, and don't play hunger strike with me, it's useless." Shen Zhijin looked at the servant holding the porridge and said coldly, "You come here." β
When people approached, Shen Zhijin took the people far away from him to his side and asked, "Do you want to eat?" β
The millet porridge is stewed softly and fragrant, which is easy to arouse people's appetite.
Yu Mian didn't say a word, and after half a sound, he suddenly reached out and overturned the porridge bowl in the tray.
Except for the servant who was holding the tray and exclaimed, the rest of the people looked surprised, as if they were used to it.
"Skipping meals?"
Shen Zhijin grabbed the slender wrist buried in the quilt with a blank face: "Then let's get an injection." β
There were already several purple needle holes on her porcelain-white wrists.
When the other person heard this, he began to fill the nutrient into the syringe.
"No injections." Yu Mian frowned, and his tone was very aggrieved: "Don't get an injection." β
"Shen Zhijin, I don't want injections."
The nurse in the white coat stopped when she heard this, waiting for the young master's next instructions.
"I don't want to get an injection, and I have to pour out the porridge again." Shen Zhijin sat back on the edge of the bed, and then he was very patient again, and he asked, "Did I say that I can only choose one of the two?" β
"You're twenty-one years old this year, you're not a kid anymore, why are you still so unreasonable?"
His patient persuasion was the same as before, if it weren't for the shackles on his feet, he would have easily listened to his persuasion in a blurred time.
The nurse was hired this month as a family physician assistant, and at first she knew that her job was to take care of a person locked up in the estate. Later, when I saw people, I didn't dare to look at it more, but I vaguely understood why the young master was so concerned.
The girl in front of her looked like a fragile object, her complexion was pale from the sun that had not been seen for a long time, her facial features were juvenile, and she had innocent fawn eyes. This look seems to be seventeen or eighteen years old, and some people believe it.
She finally got a nutritional injection, and although the dose was small, the feeling of swelling was still strong. Yu Mian's eyes were red, and he suddenly didn't know what he was fighting for.
After everyone else left, only Yu Mian and Shen Zhijin were left in the house.
"This is the fourth time I've had a nutrition shot." Shen Zhijin behaved gently, wiping Yu Mian's tears with his fingertips, but his tone was still cold: "If you don't eat tomorrow, it won't be a nutritional injection, and feeding can hurt more than an injection." β
"So eat obediently tomorrow, got it?"
Yu Mian nestled in his arms without retreating, and asked in a muffled voice for a long time: "When will you let me go?" β
Shen Zhijin played with Yu Mian's long hair that fell to his waist, and his expression became more and more careless: "Why are you still so unreminiscing?" β
He unbuttoned his tie and unbuttoned his shirt one by one, and there was a little lust hidden in the depths of his eyes.
Before Yu Mian could react, his ankle was vigorously dragged down, and the whole person was forced to be under Shen Zhijin.
Her slightly panicked and repulsive look fell on Shen Zhijin's eyes, making him feel a little angry for a long time.
He reached into Yu Mian's clothes, and his voice was as cold and hard as ever:
"Yu Mian, it's not the same as before."
"You can't expect me to do the same to you as I did to you."
The night was so dark that it was hard to get up again.
