In the golden cage

Ji Shaoting had no intention of running away.

When he left the room, he really planned to get a mop and come back to clean up the dirt, but when he walked into the living room, his eyes froze on the door for some reason.

It was a mahogany-colored double door, and the golden lock was shiny because it was always open and closed. At a glance, you could tell that it was a door unique to a mansion, and it was so impressive.

Ji Shaoting has always been timid, he shouldn't have the courage to run away.

It was really because the stimulation he received tonight was too great, shaking the ground and subverting his own character.

He looked at the gate, but he didn't see the way to freedom from inside. There was still a debt between him and Li Chen, and they were inextricably entangled with each other, like cocoons bound together.Even if he leaves this door, he will not be free.

But he was able to get rid of Li Chen's smell.

The dirty smell that symbolized humiliation wrapped him in invisible shackles that he couldn't breathe.Ji Shaoting has never been so thirsty for fresh air in his life as at this moment. Breathing is the basic function of the body, so he obeyed his desire to survive and walked slowly into the cold night at [-] o'clock in the morning.

But he couldn't go far, and something in his left hand was pulling him heavily.He raised his hand and found that the source of the falling feeling was the wedding ring that Li Chen put on for him.

Venus stretched out a pair of silver wings, clearly small and exquisite, but as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Ji Shaoting remembered the dream he had before, in which he was locked in a cage, and the closed cage door was not locked with a lock, but a ring welded end to end.

He didn't realize what he was doing until he took off the ring. When he loosened his fingers, the ring fell to the ground with a ding.

Ji Shaoting stared at it in a daze with his head down, thinking that this symbol of marriage could be untied and discarded so easily, thrown on the side of the street like garbage, and then saved from this nightmare time.

But he heard Li Chen's voice: "Tingting——!"

This is the wake-up call from hell, the harbinger of another war.Ji Shaoting looked back in panic, Li Chen was chasing him from the door.Like a prey seeing the hunter, Ji Shaoting immediately tightened his muscles and started to run reflexively.

Li Chen followed behind him like a nightmare, and Ji Shaoting just ran, he didn't know that he could still have such a speed to escape from death.

Then there was an exclamation.He accidentally stepped on a stone, twisted his ankle, and fell forward to the ground.

The exposed skin scraped across the rough stone slabs like a tongue of fire.He heard Li Chen screaming in panic, but he didn't care about anything else, he got up on the ground with all his hands and feet, and ran with all his strength.

The sound of the wind whizzed past my ears, and it seemed that there were hundreds of thousands of miles ahead.

He was only wearing a thin singlet, and the fierce cold wind came in from the cuffs, blowing his whole body.The chest and lungs were also filled with cold wind, and it hurt icily.

After Ji Shaoting rushed out of the main road, a taxi stopped by the side of the road, and he immediately attached the window glass and shouted to open the door.The driver looked at the extremely embarrassed face outside the window, his eyes were full of daze.

Li Chen has already caught up, and there is no extra time to waste.Ji Shaoting thumped the glass hard, screaming for help, "Open the door, open the door, please, open the door!"

The driver then hurriedly pressed the door lock belatedly. Ji Shaoting was about to get in, but the back of his neck was grabbed by a terrifying force.

Too late.

The collar strangled his throat, and Ji Shaoting coughed violently, but Li Chen could only hear his own blood thumping in his ear drums, and he asked Ji Shaoting, "Where are you going?"

"Beside me," he said, "don't go anywhere."

"Li Chen!" Ji Shaoting's voice was about to be torn apart, his usual mellow tone was completely distorted, becoming sharp and hoarse, "Let go, let me go!"

Ji Shaoting's appearance was too miserable, his clothes were disheveled, his arm that should have been clean was covered with plaster and bloodstains.

His whole face was covered with tears, and there was bottomless despair inside.The driver was so stared at by this pair of eyes that his heart was trembling, and he was not a nosy character, so he stumbled down the car door, and a sentence trembled on his lips, whether it was a request or an order: "You, you let go, let him go!" ..."

Li Chen poked out his fierce eyes.

If you ask a murderer what kind of look he has, it's this look.The driver froze in place instantly, as if standing dead.He saw the lips of the gloomy man in front of him open and close, and only said one word to him: "Get out."

"Call the police," but the man held in his arms cried out, "help me report—"

"Get out of here immediately!"

The driver's legs softened and turned into a pool of mud, and he was able to stand still by holding on to the car door.Ji Shaoting was still begging him to call the police, but Li Chen ruthlessly pulled his left hand: "Call the police for what?! You are my wife, and you are also my wife when you call the police. Open your eyes and take a good look at our ring—"

Li Chen's expression disappeared instantly: "Ji Shaoting! Where's your ring?!"

Mars fell into the powder keg, and the world was turned upside down.

"I'm not your wife!" Ji Shaoting retorted fiercely, "Don't be so sentimental! We are obviously fake! We are fake from beginning to end!"

This was simply grabbing Li Chen's most painful point and crushing it back and forth. It was the first time he used dirty words to Ji Shaoting: "Shut up the fuck!!!"

Mingming just told himself that he wanted to start over with Ji Shaoting, but once he was stimulated and felt Ji Shaoting's distinct disgust, he couldn't help but stand up sharply.

His self-protection mechanism is too sensitive and has been ingrained for so many years, and he just can't get away from this inferior personality.

"Where's the ring, Ji Shaoting?! Where's the ring?!"

The driver was so frightened by this uproarious scene, no matter how heartbreaking Ji Shaoting's call for help was, he still got into the car and started the engine, and then the headlights went into the night.

At one o'clock in the morning, the street was empty, and there were occasional vehicles passing by, but no one who was nosy was willing to stop.Ji Shaoting only felt abandoned by the whole world.

Li Chen's hands passed under Ji Shaoting's ribs, put his arms around his shoulders, and dragged him back home.

The fresh air was robbed again, and Li Chen imprisoned him again with himself, no matter how much Ji Shaoting punched and kicked him, it was useless.Li Chen repeatedly asked him where the ring went, and he was so crazy that he seemed to want to kill him.

After all, he only has so much left to connect with Ji Shaoting, this marriage, this couple's status.His only bargaining chip, everything he and Ji Shaoting had left.He had to hold it tightly in the palm of his hand, even if the veins were exposed, the knuckles were white and protruding, and even dripping with blood.

But Ji Shaoting ignored him.

The emotion he had first erupted in the middle of and was extinguished by Li Chen's insult rekindled, and it burned even more vigorously, almost on the verge of collapse: "Li Chen, you crazy! What did I do wrong to meet you?" To you?! Can you please let me go?! It’s always been like this, self-righteous, desperate for face, not speaking human words and suddenly going crazy—"

"But I love you!"

The first time he said these three words, in this extremely bad situation, he repeated in a dazed way: "But I love you, love you very much, more than anything..."

Ji Shaoting felt so weak, this fierce battle hurt both sides and no one won.

"But love isn't like that," he cried.
