If the previous change in their relationship was only a precursor,
Su Yu now had the illusion that she had gone too far.
Ever since she pretended to lose her temper at the dinner table, Culolo's tolerance for her had refreshed her understanding.
It even made people feel that they were really being spoiled.
This feeling was very scary. On the one hand, it made people feel scared because they didn't know the cause.
On the other hand, they were always eager to know where the bottom line of this pampering was.
Holding the book and leaning on the sofa, Su Yu quietly stared at the slender man not far away.
At this time, Culolo was using his good-looking hands to control the kettle. As he moved,
The coffee powder on the filter gradually emitted a refreshing mellow fragrance.
The man's movements were elegant and smooth.
It was perfect as if it had been precisely calculated countless times. Su Yu had seen this scene many times, but she never seemed to get tired of it.
Every time she saw his smooth movements, she couldn't help but imagine the appearance of this person's hands stained with blood. Could the blade with a cold light be so elegant?
Could killing be interpreted as an art in his hands?
She didn't know what she was thinking all day long.
As if sensing her straightforward gaze, Culolo raised his head and looked in the direction of the girl. After steadily controlling the water in the kettle,
He poured the filtered coffee into another small cup.
Just like that, he came to her with the cup.
"Do you want to try it?" He raised the cup to her.
Sure enough,
The girl lazily reached out and took the cup in his hand.
The next second,
Her fingers trembled when she was scalded by the wall of the cup.
She had already expected that she would be scalded.
Ku Luoluo still held the cup firmly and turned to put it on the coffee table. He reached out and took the book from her arms. "This book is still too deep for you. Let's start with the one I gave you last time."
This was a book that argued whether there had ever been an advanced social phenomenon in the Chir Armanu culture.
"No, I don't like the Lawton civilization." Thinking of the previous book, Su Yu curled her lips, and her face was full of disgust. "It feels like a group of monkeys opening up a mountain."
Her blunt description was met with a chuckle from the man.
"Isn't it interesting to see a monkey carve a mountain?" He flipped through the book in his hand and quickly found the leaf that the girl used as a bookmark. Looking at the type of leaf, the man chuckled and sighed. "Summer is almost over."
When Su Yu was brought here, the weather had just started to get hot.
Su Yu was silent for a long time. She suddenly reached out and pulled the man's clothes.
Culolo lowered his head and saw the girl's amethyst-like eyes looking askance at him. She clearly cared about him but was trying her best to pretend that she didn't care.
Recently, the number of times she acted cute seemed to have increased.
Su Yu considered her tone and asked casually, "Speaking of which, during the exam … I saw Vivian take Kulapika and the others somewhere. Then, what happened?"
This was also the question she had been worried about for the past two months. Due to the man's strange attitude, she didn't dare to ask until today.
No matter which of these two people had an accident, it would be terrible.
"Do you care a lot?" Culolo didn't answer this question directly. Instead, he asked her with a hint of inexplicable meaning. "As far as I know, no matter which of these three people, their relationship with you is not worthy of your attention."
If Su Yu was really just a transmigrated Mary Sue, of course, this would be the case.
Su Yu, who had a guilty conscience, did not answer directly. She snatched the book back from Ku Luoluo's hand to cover up her guilty conscience. "I don't think I have a good relationship with you. You're still asking me questions all the time."
In fact, Ku Luoluo felt wronged. For so many days, if Su Yu hadn't taken the initiative to look for him, he would have pretended that she didn't exist most of the time. However, whenever Su Yu took the initiative to look for him, this man would show the image of a gentle and considerate gentleman and let her make a fuss without any temper.
Still, Su Yu didn't dare to go too far out of consideration for his nature.
Culolo looked at the girl's series of clumsy cover-ups calmly. After a pause, he slowly said, "Nothing happened. Vivian did set up a trap to ambush the two of them, but it was destroyed by Hanzo who was passing by. Now, Leoli and Kulapika have both obtained their Hunter's License and gone to different places."
It sounded like the original development hadn't changed. Su Yu couldn't help but secretly sigh at the firmness of the world's laws. After two seconds, she remembered another person. "What about Vivian? Since she wanted to make a move on Kulapika, it means that she's not in cahoots with Quirrell and the others. Where did she go after the exam?"
"No, she didn't finish the exam." Culolo's smile changed a little when he mentioned Vivian. "She was taken away by the Ten Geezers before she could see the main venue."
"The Ten Geezers?" Su Yu was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously wanted to get up, but her body tensed up and relaxed again. She still didn't reveal her surprise. "Does she have anything to do with the Ten Geezers?"
If that's the case, it's really troublesome.
"It's not related to the Ten Geezers." Culolo's smile finally completely changed. It was just that Su Yu couldn't see all of this from her current angle. "The reason why she was taken away, to be precise, has something to do with me."
"In the underground world, she has always been the 'spokesperson' of the exploration team." Culolo's voice had a hint of sarcasm when he mentioned this strange identity, but there was no trace of nostalgia in his voice. "I just revealed a little bit of information to the Ten Geezers. I didn't expect them to act so high-profile."
They actually took someone away from the Hunter's Examination.
This time, after listening to what he said, Su Yu didn't say anything for a long time.
Culolo was not in a hurry. He took a sip of the coffee on the table and leaned on the sofa very comfortably.
After a long time, he heard her muffled voice saying, "I'm sleepy, Culolo. It's time to take a nap."
Hearing this, the man smiled and looked at her. At this time, Su Yu was using the whole book to cover her face, as if blocking the light that disturbed sleep.
He stood up and carried the girl in his arms with ease. He went upstairs and returned to her room. After putting her down on the bed, he turned around and closed the curtains. Only then did he reach out and take the book from the girl's hand.
"Go to sleep." He said softly. After tucking her in, he got up and left, quietly closing the door.
After hearing the sound of the door closing, the girl on the bed opened her eyes after dozens of seconds. The intoxicating purple crystal eyes didn't have the slightest trace of sleepiness. Instead, there was a struggle and fear in them, like the rolling waves of the sea.
— — —
Since that day, the girl hadn't asked about Vivian anymore. As if she didn't know the news, she lived her normal captive life as usual.
In terms of daily trifles, that man's patience for her had no bottom line. Even if Su Yu was completely lying down and stretched out her hand to open her mouth, he would probably only smile and indulge her everything.
It was as if the two of them were competing to see who would be the first to lose their cool. One of them kept changing her requests every day, while the other calmly fulfilled all of her requests. However, Su Yu was not such a capricious person, let alone Ku Luoluo. No one had ever dared to use the word 'gentle' to describe him.
However, this man, the notorious bandit leader, the alpha wolf who walked out of Meteor Street, had even prepared the bathwater for her.
She was just trying to complain, but she didn't expect him to really satisfy her request. Facing the bathroom where everything was taken care of, even the clothes were neatly placed on the shelf, Su Yu was speechless for a moment. She even felt a little guilty for the man's meticulous care.
"This can't be his real purpose …" Feeling the subtle change in her mood, Su Yu couldn't help but be surprised and said to herself, "Using this kind of thing to numb me …"
If she continued to be treated so gently, she would really forget that the two of them were enemies.
After finishing the preparation work before bed, the girl was about to return to the room when she stopped and turned to the study downstairs.
She didn't knock on the door, but walked in directly. She had done this many times during this period. The girl's bare feet stepped on the wooden floor without making a sound, and she slipped in like a cat.
Although the girl's movements were very quiet, it didn't mean that Culolo didn't notice. He didn't stop the movement of his pen, allowing her to enter and leave his territory at will.
Su Yu first pretended to wander in front of the bookshelf for a long time before slowly walking to the desk.
Cuolo didn't have a ferocious appearance to begin with. Under the warm yellow light on the desk, the man's chiseled face seemed to soften. His soft black hair fell in front of his forehead, and only a trace of the tattoo on his forehead could be seen through the gaps between his hair.
There seemed to be some residual bitter coffee fragrance in the room.
Sensing Su Yu's approach, he didn't raise his head, and the fingertips holding the pages didn't tremble at all. The girl stood silently in front of the desk. After a long while, she suddenly reached out and swept all the documents in front of the desk to the ground, and sat sideways on the desk.
"…" The man finally stopped writing. He raised his head to look at the girl who was looking down at him. Her exquisite face didn't have any extra expression, but there was no part of her that wasn't stunningly beautiful. It was as if the corners of her eyes and eyebrows had been carefully sculpted, and every inch of her was perfect. The soft nightgown outlined her exquisite waistline with her movements. She had one hand on the stack of books beside her, and her whole person revealed a kind of indifference that had never been shown in front of anyone before.
But this didn't conflict with her usual coquettish or angry appearance, or it could be said that this almost inhuman feeling of beauty was her original appearance.
For a moment, Culolo actually had an illusion that he didn't imprison the girl in front of him at all. This body didn't mean anything, and was more like a higher existence that projected a wisp of consciousness into the human world.
This feeling didn't make him very happy. Inadvertently, the man's eyes revealed a trace of coldness. Their gazes intertwined in the air, rubbing against each other, but neither of them took a step back.
Su Yu, however, was secretly delighted by this no longer completely gentle performance.
The corners of her mouth slowly pulled, and gradually bloomed into a gentle and pleasant smile. The cold and hard gaze in her eyes suddenly melted like water, and also became coquettish. Her light pink thin lips pursed, as if two soft petals were in her mouth. Su Yu lowered her eyes, and swept her gaze across the table. Her eyes fixed on the ink used for drawing in the corner.
It seemed that the ink had just been used, and the lid of the ink bottle hadn't been screwed up yet. The girl's slender fingertips lightly touched the bottle, and without any warning, she suddenly flicked her index finger, and the entire ink bottle overturned on the table!
The pitch-black ink suddenly poured out and quickly stained all the papers nearby. Even the documents Culolo was writing were not spared.
That was something he had organized for so long, and he was just a little bit away from completing it, but now it was all ruined by a bottle of ink.
However, unlike Su Yu's imagination, the man's handsome face didn't have a trace of stiffness, and after seeing her actions, he even revealed a helpless and doting smile.
Seeing that the ink was about to drip from the edge of the paper onto him, the man reached out and rolled up the thick stack of documents on the table, and casually stuffed it into the trash can beside the table.
There was no trace of heartache on his face.
Su Yu silently watched him complete this series of actions. Suddenly, he felt a sense of powerlessness, as if he had punched cotton.
"What's wrong, are you not happy?" Culolo keenly noticed Su Yu's emotional changes, and asked in a tone like he was coaxing a child, "Or, you still don't want to sleep?"
During this period of time, the girl was like a pig. She slept as long as she wanted all day, and it was possible for her to have a chaotic schedule at night.
"No, it's not." Even Su Yu didn't know what to say. After she dryly denied it, she turned and left the desk.
Although nothing had happened, she still felt a strong sense of defeat. It was as if her deliberate actions had all been seen through by him. The entanglement in her heart had nowhere to hide from those clear eyes. Even her secret was not far from being discovered.
She didn't know why she had such an inexplicable sense of crisis, but she felt that she couldn't be exposed to those eyes anymore. Unlike when she came, the girl left the study as if she was running away.
The moment she closed the door, she heard the man's calm voice as usual, "Good night, sweet dreams."
She couldn't breathe.
The wooden door blocked the last trace of light from the study. Su Yu's hand holding the door handle was a little too tight, and for a moment, it was as if it was glued to the handle. The dim light in the corridor reflected on the girl's cheeks, and there was a trace of abnormal pale.
After two months of captivity, her string was almost stretched to the extreme.
Su Yu calmed her breathing in place, and after a long time, she released her hand from the door handle. She turned around and slowly walked upstairs, her footsteps were slow and silent.
But the hands hanging by her side couldn't help but tremble slightly.
— —
Can't go on like this.
Su Yu clearly understood that she couldn't hold on any longer.
Locked in a confined space, she fought with that man all day long. She saw the same face every time she opened and closed her eyes. No matter how good-looking that face was, with so many external factors combined, Su Yu felt like she was going to vomit.
She confirmed her appearance in the mirror. The thick sunglasses and hat covered the girl's small face. She reached out and adjusted the hat again. Su Yu poked her head out from the door and looked around, confirming that Culolo was still in the study downstairs.
