After walking along the passageway for a long time, the light finally brightened up a little.
At the end of the narrow passageway was a cave. There was a dark pool in the cave that was blocked by an iron fence.
The light that Gu Sinian saw was from the candles on the inner wall of the cave. It was very weak and swayed left and right with the cold wind that suddenly blew in the cave, illuminating the room in the distance.
With a splash, there was a strange movement in the pool.
"Who's there?" Gu Sinian's face darkened and he took two steps back.
Another 'crash' sound was heard.
The flashlight shone on the fence, through the gap between the bars, and fell on the dark water, rippling with light.
A man stood in the water, a tall man. The water was at the same level as his knees. His hands were chained to the walls on both sides. He raised his head and stared at Gu Sinian in a daze, his voice hoarse.
"Ling Han?"
Gu Sinian's face stiffened. He looked at the man in the water prison in disbelief. "Why are you here?"
Thinking of his previous speculation, he suddenly understood something. "You didn't leave at all?"
The man in the water prison seemed to be unable to make a sound. He opened his mouth a few times and looked very painful.
Seeing his pale face, he didn't know how many days he had been locked here. In December, the water was bone-chilling. If he wasn't taken out, his legs were very likely to die.
"You wait."
While speaking, Gu Sinian held the flashlight and began to look for a lock along the fence. His other hand touched the side of his waist.
His eyes froze. His waist was empty.
A cold wind blew behind him. He turned around abruptly, but before he could do so, a heavy blow came from the back of his head. His vision turned black and he fainted.
…
Lanjiang City.
Haiyan Media's penthouse apartment.
When Ye Huanyan led Song Xiaobo through the door, she deliberately looked at him twice. She found that when he entered the room, there was no change in his expression. He was still following behind Gu Min, seemingly a little shy.
Naonnao dragged Xiaobo to his room to look at his electronic equipment. Gu Min opened the fridge and took out some food. She plopped down on the sofa and turned on the TV.
"Have you been watching idol dramas recently?" Ye Huanyan glanced at the screen and only saw a recently popular young actor reciting his lines. His voice was as stiff as a recorder.
"Sister Xiao Yue said that sometimes when you're too nervous, you just look at these things and don't need to use your brain."
Ye Huanyan raised her eyebrows and didn't comment. She carried two glasses of milk and walked towards Naonnao's room.
"Drinking milk again?"
Naonnao sighed when he saw the milk.
"You can only grow taller by drinking milk. The earlier you finish it, the earlier you can brush your teeth and sleep." Ye Huanyan patted Naonnao's head and handed the milk in her other hand to Xiaobo.
Xiaobo didn't say anything. He took the milk and drank it like drinking wine.
"I'm not going to sleep. It's still early. I want to talk to Brother Xiaobo …"
"We'll talk when you wake up tomorrow." Ye Huanyan directly interrupted Naonnao. "And I have something to talk to your Brother Xiaobo."
It was about the portrait.
Naonnao drank the milk and went out to call Gu Min to take him to the bathroom to take a shower. Only Ye Huanyan and Song Xiaobo were left in the children's room, staring at each other.
"Gu Min isn't here. You don't have to pretend anymore. Tell me, why are you following us?"
"There's no purpose."
His voice was very calm. When he spoke, he stuck out his tongue and licked the milk foam at the corner of his mouth like a child.
"What about the portrait? You really can't draw it, or are you just stalling for time? "
"I can't draw it."
Hearing this, Ye Huanyan didn't get angry. She glanced at him. "If you still can't draw it tomorrow morning, I'll ask someone to send you to a private studio until you draw it."
"It's fine if you don't believe me. I really can't draw it. It's useless even if you ask someone to watch me."
"I don't plan to ask someone to watch you."
Ye Huanyan corrected him.
Sure enough, Song Xiaobo's expression froze. He stopped licking his lips. "Aren't you afraid that I'll run away?"
"It's just a portrait. If you don't draw it, I have other ways to find what I want."
"But that portrait is very important to you."
"But if you delay it for too long, it won't be important anymore."
Ye Huanyan couldn't be bothered to beat around the bush with him. She said directly, "If you have any conditions, just state them. My deadline is tomorrow morning. If you don't want to draw it, you can leave tomorrow."
Song Xiaobo's face paled. "I … you … you can really agree to my conditions?"
"Say it."
"I want to marry Min Min."
Ye Huanyan felt a lump of blood in her throat. She couldn't spit it out or swallow it down.
She knew that this rascal had bad intentions towards Gu Min, but she didn't expect that he would dare to say this after only knowing her for two days.
"I can't help you with this." Ye Huanyan waved her hand. Her mouth twitched as she looked at his baby face that was revealed after the bruise disappeared. Her face was full of doubt. "And have you reached the legal age for marriage?"
"I'm twenty-three."
"You look like you're thirteen."
"You said that I can state my conditions."
"But Min Min is free. Even if I'm her mother, I can't make decisions about her marriage."
"She called you Second Miss …"
"Do you think this is a feudal society? Selling yourself as a slave? What are you thinking? She's like my sister."
"I don't care. You said that I can state my conditions. This is the only condition I have."
Ye Huanyan felt that they were back to square one again. She frowned and stared at Song Xiaobo for a while. She stroked her chin and said, "Although I can't force Min Min to marry you, I can give you time to spend with her. Even after you finish drawing the portrait for me, you can still stay here. How about it?"
"Really?" Song Xiaobo's face lit up.
"Really."
Ye Huanyan blinked. "Then the portrait …"
"I'll give it to you tomorrow morning."
"Deal."
When Ye Huanyan came out of Naonnao's room, she heard Naonnao yelling from the bathroom in the living room. "You got water in my eyes, Gu Min, you idiot."
After a while, Gu Min was chased out by Naonnao. Her hands were wet. She muttered as she came out, "I told you not to open your eyes. I told you I wouldn't let you fall, but you didn't believe me."
She walked to the living room with her wet hands. When she looked up, she saw Ye Huanyan coming out of Naonnao's room. She was staring at her meaningfully with a half-smile.
She was stunned. "Second Miss, what's wrong?"
"Xiaobo agreed to draw."
"Really?" Gu Min raised her eyebrows and looked happy. "When did this happen? His autism was cured? He can talk to people now? "
Ye Huanyan was silent for a few seconds. She shook her head firmly. "No, he still won't talk."
"I'll go look for him."
Seeing Gu Min's excited look, Ye Huanyan smiled helplessly.
It was a good match for a brainless person to meet a young man who was full of twists and turns.
"Ding!" A notification sounded on his phone.
Ye Huanyan opened her phone and saw the picture sent by Su Hong.
In the picture, Lan Yin was wearing a bikini and standing far away on the beach of Tahiti. She was talking to a chubby middle-aged man. The man was not tall, and his round belly looked particularly exaggerated outside his swimming trunks. It was as if half a watermelon had been stuffed into it.
