To seduce her

Shen Yaochu's lips gently touched Gao Yuchuan's lips, giving him a short and affectionate kiss.

Gao Yuchuan's heart trembled when he felt Shen Yaochu's soft lips touching him.

A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, a mixture of worry and confusion.

He gently held Shen Yaochu's shoulders, asked her to face him, and then asked worriedly: "Yaochu, what's wrong with you? Is...what happened?"

Gao Yuchuan's nervousness made Shen Yaochu realize that he had accidentally revealed his emotions.

She curled her lips slightly, the sunlight shining on her fair face, reflecting the tears flashing in her eyes.

Shen Yaochu pursed her lips and explained: "No, I just feel... lucky to have survived the catastrophe."

Her voice trembled slightly, and when it fell into Gao Yuchuan's ears, it made him feel particularly heartbroken.

Gao Yuchuan gently embraced Shen Yaochu in his arms, feeling each other's warmth.

The sunlight shone onto the two of them through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, covering them with a layer of golden glow.

Gao Yuchuan hugged Shen Yaochu tightly, and their eyes were at the same time cast on BoBo and CiCi who were playing outside.

Gao Yuchuan looked down at Shen Yaochu in his arms, his eyes full of tenderness and cherishment. He whispered, "They are very happy."

"Yeah." Shen Yaochu smiled with a slight nasal tone: "Looking at them, I suddenly feel that we are so lucky to be able to spend these wonderful times together."

Gao Yuchuan gently stroked the back of Shen Yaochu's hand with his thumb, with a special intimacy, as if he wanted to freeze this moment in his heart forever.

Shen Yaochu: "No matter what happens in the future, I feel so happy."

At this moment, they were close together, as if they could hear each other's heartbeats.

The sound of children's laughter coming from outside interrupted their thoughts.

They looked at the children again, and they had the same thought in their minds.

If only this moment could last forever...

----

Qi family.

A tightly closed door was like an invisible barrier, isolating Qi Xiurui from the outside world.

Inside the door, Qi Xiurui locked himself in, unwilling to face any disturbance from the outside world.

Outside the door, Qi's father and mother stood anxiously, their faces full of worry and confusion.

Qi's father frowned, put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth from time to time, as if thinking about how to break the deadlock.

Qi's mother's eyes were fixed on the closed door, as if she was praying that Qi Xiurui could leave the room and get out of all this as soon as possible.

Father Qi finally couldn't help but speak, his voice filled with helplessness and anxiety: "Since the medicine is no longer useful for Shen Yaochu, what is he still worried about?"

Mother Qi sighed softly, shook her head and said, "I know he feels bad, but his body is already like this, and he locks himself in the room, not eating, drinking, or talking. What can I do..."

"Think of a solution! What's the point of sighing here?!" Qi's father complained.

Mother Qi was anxious: "He refuses to speak, and I don't know how to help him!"

The two fell into silence, and a depressing atmosphere filled the air.

Just then, there was a slight noise from inside the door.

The two of them immediately became nervous, and Qi's mother patted the door anxiously, calling softly: "Xiao Rui, are you okay? Do you want to come out and eat something?"

But Qi Xiurui inside the door did not respond at all, and Qi's mother was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Seeing this, Qi's father patted Qi's mother on the shoulder and signaled her to stay calm.

He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calm and firm: "Xiao Rui, we know you may be sad now, but you have to know that we are always here with you. No matter what happens, we will face it with you. So, open the door and let us get through this together. The old man is here, what can't be solved?"

"Yes, Xiao Rui, please open the door. Tell us what's going on. Don't keep it to yourself."

The two tried to get Qi Xiurui to come out through words, but the only response they got was still silence in the room.

Mother Qi was so anxious that she almost cried. She knocked on the door gently, her voice trembling: "Xiao Rui, even if you are in a bad mood, you have to come out and eat something! If you don't eat or drink like this, your body will collapse."

The dead silence inside the door made Qi's mother's tears well up in her eyes.

She finally couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly raised her voice, with a bit of blame and helplessness: "Xiao Rui, we have done so much for you, why do you still want to destroy your body like this? How can we feel at ease if you do this?"

Just as Qi's mother finished her words, there was a sudden noise from inside the door.

Then, the door was suddenly opened, and Qi appeared at the door. His eyes were full of anger and questioning, and he looked directly at Qi's father and mother: "You are the one who replaced my medicine, right?"

Qi Xiurui's voice was cold and sharp, like a sharp blade piercing into the hearts of Qi's father and mother.

They were so frightened by Qi Xiurui's sudden question that they stood there in a daze, not knowing how to respond.

Looking at their panicked expressions and the way they looked at each other after escaping, I became more certain of my guess.

Qi Xiurui's anger grew even more intense, and he asked, "Why are you doing this? Do you know what this means?"

Qi's father and mother knew that the matter could no longer be concealed, and their faces instantly turned somewhat ugly.

Qi's mother's voice trembled as she stepped forward to grab Qi Xiurui's hand, but Qi Xiurui took a step back and dodged her.

Mother Qi looked flustered and tried to explain: "Xiao Rui...listen to mom and dad's explanation!"

"Explain?" Qi Xiurui sneered, "Okay, I want to hear how else you can explain it today."

"Xiao Rui, you are making trouble!" Qi's father was also annoyed. He stood in front of Qi Xiurui and said in a deep voice: "Your parents will not harm you. We came up with this method to let you live, but you come to question us!"

"Do you have to kill others in order to let me live?" Qi Xiurui's eyes were red. "Before, you locked her in the basement and used her body to test the medicine for me. I already felt guilty. I gave her the special medicine to atone for your sins!! But now you are using another kind of bad behavior to try to exchange my life with someone else's life!"

Qi Xiurui's voice was particularly harsh at this moment, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Qi's father and mother's hearts.

Mother Qi was frightened by this sudden accusation and her face turned pale. Her lips trembled and she wanted to say something, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something and no sound came out.

Qi's father was shocked and angry. He never thought his son would say such a thing.

"Xiao Rui..."

Qi Xiurui angrily said: "What's the difference between what you did and murder?!"

"Snapped--"
