asphyxia.

An overwhelming feeling of suffocation.

The feeling of suffocation ends with a sharp pain.

Just when Xi Shengyi thought Chu Lin was going to strangle him to death, the force on his neck suddenly loosened.

She was like a dehydrated fish returning to the sea, and her breathing was not steady for a long time.

Her tears were choked out without her knowing, and Xishengyi's face was covered with a mess of liquid.

Chu Lin just watched quietly. After a moment, he squatted down and turned the switch on the execution stand.

Xishengyi's legs, which were originally apart, were slowly spread apart, and the cross became a "big" shape.

"Being nice to you will only make you impatient. I should have treated you like a toy from the beginning." Chu Lin said lightly, unbuckling his belt with one hand.

.

.

Time was stretched out, as if it had stopped, just like Xishengyi's breathing.

She no longer had any strength in her body, and her wrists were bleeding from being rubbed by the chains. At first, the pain was overwhelming, and then it seemed as if her nerves had lost the ability to feel.

Chu Lin had no intention of letting her go.

When he was about to lose consciousness, Xishengyi managed to utter a few words in a whisper.

Her voice was too soft for Chu Lin to hear clearly. He leisurely used his free hand to pinch her face and said, "Say it again."

Xishengyi's eyes were dark. She reluctantly raised her head and looked at him:

"Hate you."

Chu Lin's eyes suddenly darkened.

Without waiting for Chu Lin's response, she fainted as if to escape.

When I woke up again, I was still in the cell as expected.

But she had been put down, curled up on a piece of smooth cloth, and was wearing new clothes, a soft nightgown.

The kind she least likes to wear.

Xi Shengyi couldn't move for the time being, he just tilted his head reluctantly and found that it was Chu Lin's suit.

The wrist was also bandaged.

She didn't know whether the worst-affected areas had been treated with medicine, and she couldn't feel it.

[When did Chu Lin leave?] Xi Shengyi asked, [What time is it now?]

[It’s already Monday noon. Chu Lin left at... 12 o’clock last night, on time.]

Xi Shengyi: [......]

[ok, fine.]

She panted for a while and her eyes fell on the supervisor outside.

The supervisor still had his back to her. In the dim candlelight outside the cell, he looked like a statue dripping with wax.

The kind that has no thoughts of its own.

Xishengyi can only think of other ways:

[If I pretend to be unconscious and don't talk to Chu Lin for a whole day, does that count as time?]

[No. Unless Chu Lin doesn’t contact you.]

Xishengyi thought about it and felt that the possibility should be very small.

She didn't want to stay on Chu Lin's clothes anymore, so she took a few deep breaths and moved to the side.

It only moved half an inch.

The smell of blood from yesterday's execution lingered for a long time, and there was no sound from the prisoner in the next cell. Xi Shengyi didn't know whether he was dead or had been taken away for treatment.

Xishengyi took another deep breath and moved another half an inch.

The system wanted to say that you really don’t need to do that, but seeing Xishengyi’s determined eyes, it shut its mouth.

The noise of Xishengyi's movement became louder and louder. The supervisor outside heard the noise and turned to look at her.

Xishengyi looked at her for a moment, rolled his eyes, and continued to move.

The supervisor was stunned for a moment, then picked up an old-fashioned pager or something like that and said in a neither-too-loud voice, "Sir, she's awake."

Xishengyi: "......"

Her throat also felt a little sore from crying for so long.

She swallowed her nonexistent saliva and said in a hoarse voice, "Sister, I have no grudge against you."

The supervisor turned into a wax figure again.

Xishengyi didn't dare to move. He closed his eyes and collapsed on the ground as if waiting to die.

In a moment, familiar footsteps were heard, and the door opened and closed. Xishengyi opened his eyes and found that there was no light in front of him again. He was a little overwhelmed.

"Chu Lin." Her voice trembled a little.

"Hmm" Chu Lin's voice rang out in front of him. His cold fingers touched Xi Shengyi's forehead, and the man on the ground began to tremble uncontrollably.

The girl's temperature was normal. Chu Lin gently picked her up and walked to the armchair at the side.

Chu Lin's tone returned to the time when they were in love, with a smile on his face: "Let's change the posture today."

Xishengyi was unable to stop his actions and could only close his eyes in vain. Tears began to flow out of his eyes that had already been dried up.

"It's not Sunday. You can't..."

Chu Lin laughed at her words, but he covered his beloved's mouth with his hand without saying a word.

Xishengyi felt like he was in hell.

At the end, whether it was because of Chu Lin's remaining compassion or because her willpower was suddenly aroused, Xi Shengyi, who was put back into the new suit, used her last bit of strength to grab the trouser leg of Chu Lin who was about to leave.

There was a moment when Xi Shengyi cried loudly because of the pain and fear of being locked up for a long time, but Chu Lin seemed to deliberately misunderstand her meaning and gently kissed her forehead, as if he was playing with a pet:

"Afraid of the dark?"

After that, there was a candle in the cell, and Chu Lin was doing something under the light that seemed like it would never stop.

Chu Lin's shoes were glowing with the same cold light as their owner's. Xi Shengyi felt like a toy that he would use and then throw away.

"elder brother."

She didn't have the courage to call Chu Lin by his real name anymore.

She didn't have the strength to look up, not to mention that she was in the dark and couldn't see Chu Lin's expression at all: "What... When will you let me out?"

Hearing this, Chu Lin squatted down and rubbed her head: "27 days, baby."

Xishengyi was stunned for a long time before he understood the meaning of this sentence.

She let go in despair.

27 days was very long, as long as 27 years. Xishengyi stared at the system panel every day, counting the days second by second.

On the last day, as soon as Chu Lin stepped into the cell, Xi Shengyi propped himself up, with hope in his eyes obvious: "The last day... the last day."

Chu Lin laughed, walked over and picked her up as usual, "Well, I'll take you somewhere."

Xishengyi suddenly had a bad feeling.

She didn't dare to struggle, so she could only ask cautiously, "Where are we going?"

Chu Lin didn't respond.

The dim candlelight outlined the man's cold and hard profile. No matter how hard the warm firelight licked it, it could not melt the frost on it.

Xi Shengyi was carried out of the prison, but found that Chu Lin did not walk towards the exit, but towards the stairs on the other side.

Xi Shengyi tightened his grip on Chu Lin's clothes.

Chu Lin carried her up to the third floor and walked to the door of one of the cells.

Xi Shengyi still didn't dare to look at the situation in those cells. The prisoners' groans were the same as those on the first floor. She buried her face in Chu Lin's chest, as if this way she wouldn't have to face what was going to happen next.

The cell door slowly opened and Chu Lin let her down.

Xi Shengyi was still facing Chu Lin. She did not dare to turn around for a moment. There seemed to be someone's broken breathing behind her. The smell of blood lingering in her ears was extremely strong. She even had to breathe rapidly through her mouth to ensure the intake of oxygen.

"It's the last day. I'll give you a gift." Chu Lin said calmly.
