Luo Yuqi settled in completely.
Perhaps to make her accept, the two of them were surprisingly calm these past few days, and didn't do anything out of line.
The only thing they did was brainwash Luo Yuqi every day.
"Sister." Luo Yuqi brought in the milk, and began his daily indoctrination. "You can only get one portion of happiness with him, but by staying, you can get two."
She knew who "he" was without needing to be told.
Expecting the usual silence, Luo Yuqi placed the milk in her hand and was about to continue when he heard a faint, hoarse female voice.
"You..." It had been so long since she'd spoken that her speech system seemed to have regressed. Shen Jianxi spoke her short sentence haltingly.
"You... can you really accept the three of us living together?" As she spoke, she laboriously pulled the young man's hand, "Shen Xingzhi will not tolerate it. When you are no longer useful, he will make a move on you."
The young man remained silent. He knew very well what Shen Jianxi was saying.
However, if Shen Xingzhi harbored such thoughts, could he not?
Thinking of this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Luo Yuqi's eyes, quickly disappearing, replaced by a smile.
He held the milk to the girl's lips, and after watching her drink a sip with satisfaction, he said leisurely, "Sister is really persistent. Even now, you haven't forgotten to sow discord. However, I advise you to give up that idea."
As his words fell, the girl's gaze dimmed again, and she lowered her head, no longer speaking.
After closing the door, Luo Yuqi's expression turned completely cold.
Although he knew Shen Jianxi was deliberately trying to sow discord, he had to face this issue.
The current peaceful coexistence between him and Shen Xingzhi was temporary. Both of them wished the other would be eliminated quickly, but circumstances forced them to compromise.
"How is she today?"
Shen Xingzhi's voice came from behind, interrupting his thoughts.
Luo Yuqi looked up and walked past without looking aside. He stopped for a moment as he passed Shen Xingzhi, "Her condition is good, but it's best if you don't appear before her." After saying this, he raised his head and left.
Shen Xingzhi let out a scoff, completely disregarding his words, and pushed the door open.
From the moment he brought her back, he knew she wouldn't be accepted. Reducing his appearances these past few days was merely giving his partner some favor.
Upon entering, he saw the girl leaning against the bed, staring blankly. She didn't turn around even when she heard the door.
Shen Xingzhi walked to a corner of the room and pushed the wheelchair to the bedside.
"The weather is nice today. I'll take you out for a stroll."
"What, is this prisoner's recreation time?" The girl's voice was full of sarcasm. She looked mockingly at her numb legs. "Am I your pet?"
Shen Xingzhi smiled at her agitated emotions, bent down, and easily lifted her onto the wheelchair. He then covered her legs with a thin blanket. After finishing, he slowly said, "Be good, don't demean yourself like this. I wouldn't let pets or prisoners get the better of me."
Saying this, he pushed her outwards. "It's just too dangerous outside. Staying here is for your own safety."
Hearing these shameless words, Shen Jianxi was dumbfounded. No, how could someone be even more shameless than her?!
Fortunately, she had been lowering her head since earlier, so Shen Xingzhi didn't notice her loss of composure.
Shen Xingzhi's constant chatter in her ear was like a monk's scripture to Shen Jianxi. She simply closed her ears and chatted with 77.
"How is Ji Zhaoyun's side?"
77 had been keeping an eye on the outside world for her, collecting intelligence. This time, he replied very quickly, "He, along with Father and Mother Shen, have already suspected Luo Yuqi. With the combined efforts of both families, they should be able to find this place in four or five days."
"Do Luo Yuqi and Shen Xingzhi know about this?"
77 shook his head. "No. Ji Zhaoyun had already instructed them to maintain their cover, so they don't know that the Shen family is also investigating."
"Okay, I understand." Shen Jianxi nodded. Unbeknownst to her, they had already arrived outdoors. She looked up at the roof, blocking the harsh sunlight, and said very softly, "Then let's make a quick end of it."
At any rate, don't die in front of Father and Mother Shen.
...
After that day, Shen Xingzhi and Luo Yuqi would take her out to sunbathe every day, and incidentally massage her legs, which had not lost sensation.
Shen Jianxi also cherished every moment she had alone with Luo Yuqi, watching his attitude waver, while also subtly expressing her affection to him.
Under her performance, Luo Yuqi gradually went from complete disbelief to suspicion, and then to some belief.
Shen Jianxi pressed her advantage, secretly creating friction between the two men. In their repeated conflicts, she steadfastly sided with Luo Yuqi, her favoritism being visibly apparent.
Their relationship progressed rapidly and became increasingly intimate. Shen Xingzhi's gaze grew darker, and the smile that used to adorn his face disappeared.
His emotions completely erupted when he saw the two of them kissing in full view of each other.
The night before Ji Zhaoyun and the others were to arrive, Shen Xingzhi cooked a surprisingly large meal. Incense candles were lit inside. At that moment, Luo Yuqi entered with Shen Jianxi, chatting and laughing.
Upon seeing this, Shen Xingzhi did not get angry. Instead, he spoke gently to them, "You must be tired after playing so late. Come and eat quickly."
Luo Yuqi looked at the table laden with food and the decorations in the room, not understanding what he was doing. He could only cautiously sit down at the chair.
Shen Xingzhi went to the kitchen to get porridge. While he was gone, Luo Yuqi leaned in and whispered to Shen Jianxi, "Don't touch anything on the table later."
Shen Jianxi nodded, her expression appearing docile.
Although she knew the problem was the incense and not the food, she didn't voice it. She simply watched as Shen Xingzhi sat down, watched Luo Yuqi not touch any of the dishes, and watched him collapse onto the floor with disbelief in his eyes. Sudan Novels Net
Shen Jianxi then pretended to collapse weakly onto the wheelchair.
Putting down his chopsticks and rinsing his mouth, Shen Xingzhi slowly stood up and walked behind the two people whose bodies had gone numb.
He bent down, picked up the girl's hand, and kissed it.
"From the first moment I saw you, I was captivated by these hands."
"But you were not obedient."
"But it's alright. Once I turn my treasure into a specimen, we can be together forever."
His expression was devout yet manic as he spoke excitedly about his vision of their future.
"Oh, and for our happiness, I need to remove the obstacles first." Shen Xingzhi suddenly looked at Luo Yuqi on the ground and took out an electric saw from behind a vase.
Shen Jianxi stared in disbelief at the sight of the electric saw.
OMG, a chainsaw maniac!
He walked step by step towards the struggling young man on the floor.
"Where did you put the drug?" Luo Yuqi tried to retreat with all his might, simultaneously attempting to stall for time.
Shen Xingzhi let out a cold snort, answering an unrelated question, "Did you think I didn't know villains die from talking too much?"
After saying this, he turned on the electric saw.
Shen Jianxi stopped watching the show. She pretended to struggle but moved the wheelchair quickly. When she was at a suitable distance, just as Shen Xingzhi's electric saw was about to descend, she lunged forward.
Blood splattered, dyeing the ground red.
Even though Shen Xingzhi braced himself at the last moment, it was no use.
"Ah—" Luo Yuqi cried out in pain, struggling to get up with his hands and feet.
As she reached out to caress him, Shen Jianxi placed the antidote she had smeared on her palm under Luo Yuqi's nose.
Overwhelmed by grief, the young man didn't have time to think about why he suddenly had strength. He stumbled forward and embraced her.
"It's good that you're okay," the girl said, and then her eyes closed forever, leaving the two men in despair.
77: "Ding! Favorability +21, current favorability for Luo Yuqi is 100."
77: "Ding! Luo Yuqi's conquest successful."
"Your death was too anticlimactic, wasn't it?"
A figure floated above the room, next to which was a flickering light cluster. The one who had spoken was this light cluster.
Shen Jianxi watched everything below with coldness, her emotions completely unfazed.
"Can't be helped, I was tired of living."
With these words, she and 77 disappeared from the spot.
