Zhou Bingzhu steadily caught the collapsing Gu Shengyin.
His gaze towards her was very gentle, holding her as if she were the most precious treasure in the world.
"Now, I wonât give you the chance to leave again." He said softly.
He held Gu Shengyin and walked out slowly.
When Gu Shengyin woke up, she found herself in a very unfamiliar house.
This house was quite empty, except for a bed large enough for three or four adults to roll around on, there was only a thick and ornate carpet spread on the floor.
What made Gu Shengyin most uneasy was that she couldnât feel her Spiritual Power inside.
Her Lifebound Magic Weapon couldnât be summoned either.
"System, what happened?" Gu Shengyin asked.
The system responded: "Obviously, host, you have been imprisoned."
Gu Shengyin: "...I can see that much. Can you get to the point, where am I, and whatâs wrong with my body?"
The system said: "In your room, Zhou Bingzhu drugged you, and after you passed out, Zhou Bingzhu brought you back to the Capital City and finally locked you up here. He also used special means to seal your Spiritual Power."
Gu Shengyin: "..."
But clearly now is not the time to argue with the system about its way of speaking.
She asked: "So am I back in the Capital City now?"
System: "Yes, host."
Gu Shengyin was somewhat dazed: "Zhou Bingzhu is a political player, right? He must know that illegally imprisoning someone is against the law."
The system said: "Host, please remain calm, illegal imprisonment is only considered a crime if discovered and exposed."
So, as long as no one knows, nothing counts.
Gu Shengyin: "..."
Then the door was opened.
Zhou Bingzhu walked in wearing a high-necked black sweater.
Wearing a sweater, Zhou Bingzhuâs face carried a smile, his brows gentle and distinguished, looking much younger than the person Gu Shengyin had seen before.
"Youâre awake?" He seemed to be in a very good mood.
From the moment he walked in, Gu Shengyin picked up her aloof persona: "You imprisoned me?"
Zhou Bingzhu smiled gently: "How can you call this imprisonment? I just donât want Lanlan to leave me anymore."
Gu Shengyin glared at him: "Whatâs going on with my body?"
Zhou Bingzhu sat down beside her, only then did Gu Shengyin realize that she had been changed into soft comfortable homewear.
"Relax, itâs just a small sealing method. It wonât harm you."
Gu Shengyin said: "Zhou Bingzhu, if you donât want me to hate you, let me go."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Bingzhuâs expression twisted momentarily, he said: "Rather than you not hating me but hiding where I canât see, I would prefer you stay under my wing, hating me."
Gu Shengyin looked at him like this, feeling something was off about him.
She asked the system: "Whatâs wrong with Zhou Bingzhu, he seems severely affected?"
The system said: "Oh, two years ago he just confessed, and the woman he liked disappeared. After finally searching for two years and finding you, you were cold, indifferent, and straightforwardly claimed to be strangers, stimulating him greatly."
Gu Shengyin: "..."
Hearing it like this, I do seem quite heartless...
No, obviously Zhou Bingzhu has turned into a psycho!
The system deeply agreed: "Thatâs right, Zhou Bingzhu was so stimulated by you that he became psycho."
Gu Shengyin silently looked at Zhou Bingzhu in front of her, who watched her intensely without blinking, deciding to adopt a gentle approach.
