Chapter 55： You Won’t Believe It

Shen Wunian’s prediction was correct, and in the evening, the villa did indeed experience another power outage. The air conditioner stopped working, and the air slowly became suffocatingly hot. I took a quick shower while there was still hot water, came out and opened all the windows, and then placed electronic candles all over the bedroom.

On the floor, on the table, on the windowsill, and even on the bed …… electronic candles switch on, the simulated flame is windless and automatic, I lie in the circle surrounded by candles, my hands are interlocked and placed on my abdomen, and I feel very peaceful.

Philia told me that Shen Wunian loves me.

But he clearly said that he was angry with me, but he also silenced me, what kind of love is that?

Looking at the chains hanging from the ceiling, I fell into a deep thought, can there really be people who don’t know they love someone?

Oh, there are. Liang Weiren didn’t know. It took him twenty years to not know, and if Yu Xiaoshan hadn’t thrown the hard evidence in front of him, he might not have known that he loved Yu Luo for the rest of his life.

When I thought of Liang Weiren, my thoughts uncontrollably went back to his fly-covered corpse, and I shivered in the middle of summer.

I quickly pushed him out of my mind and continued to think about Shen Wunian.

If it’s true, as Philia said, that they’re about to be extradited back to China, then Shen Wunian really won’t be able to keep me locked up much longer, and I should be able to make it back in time for the start of school.

One Hundred Years …… I have lived until now is only twenty years, one hundred years, is five times my current life, foreign sentenced really hard ah ……

The sky is darkening a little, the steamy wind blows through the window pane, bringing a pleasant evening breeze. When night falls, the rain falls again from the sky like a pearl curtain.

Some tiny drops of water were blown into the house by the wind, the heavier ones fell beside the window and wet the floor, while the lighter ones floated on the bed and landed on my face.

I didn’t want to close the window because it was still cool. When I was half asleep, I suddenly heard the sound of a car coming downstairs.

Didn’t I say that Shen Wunian couldn’t come back tonight?

I slowly raised my arms and stared at the bedroom door.

When the sound of footsteps came from the stairs, my heart was relieved and I lay down again. It was Shen Wunian, I recognized those footsteps.

A short time later, Shen Wunian pushed the door open.

“I thought you said you weren’t coming back tonight?” I gave him a look and lay there without moving.

He seemed a little surprised by my look, holding the door handle and standing by the door for a moment before entering the room.

“I wasn’t too worried, so I came back anyway.”

The house was lit with electronic candles, but that little light was really limited, and as he came closer, I noticed that he was surprisingly soaked to the skin. The ends of his hair were dripping, his face was wet, his shirt was plastered to his flesh, showing the shape of the gauze on his chest, as well as the pink blood that had trickled down his flesh and been washed out by the rain.

It’s been a week since this injury, why is he still bleeding?

“Why are you all wet?”

I propped myself up to sit up again, my eyes glancing absently to catch a glimpse of what appeared to be a blue bracelet tied around his wrist, hanging down at his side. The kind of bracelet I’d only ever seen on hospitalized patients.

“Where did you …… come back from?”

“The car accidentally got a flat tire halfway down the road, and I got out to change the spare, so I got soaked.” He noticed my gaze and put his hand back, answering only the last question.

“No, you ran …… from the hospital.”

Halfway through, Shen Wunian suddenly lifted his other hand, his fingertips wiped the side of my face near my temples, twisted it, and inexplicably came to say, “It was dirty. ” He then cupped my face with one hand, rubbing the spot with his thumb over and over again, “Why can you still be dirty when you’re locked up ……”

Being rained on should only lower the body temperature, but his hand was so hot and shocking that I froze for a moment before thinking of opening his hands, “What are you doing? Stop rubbing, it hurts.”

I frowned and covered my face that he was rubbing painfully, moving to the side, my eyes full of vigilance.

Shen Wunian’s hand froze in the air and it took him a while to pull it back.

“I forgot, you’re afraid of me.” His tone was a bit self-deprecating as he stepped back to a safe distance.

The atmosphere froze for a moment, I stopped talking, he didn’t make a sound either, and the only sound left in my ears was the dripping rain.

This kind of silence lasted about a minute or two, his figure moved slightly, “I’m going to change my clothes. After saying that, he turned and left the room.

This time he left and didn’t come back for half an hour.

It’s not that I want him to come back, it’s just that …… I feel that his condition is not quite right, and hesitantly, I decided to go and check.

Picking up an electronic candle, I carefully stepped out of the room door and went to the next door.

The door of the room was half open, and like the corridor, Shen Wunian’s bedroom was black, completely engulfed in darkness.

“…… Shen Wunian?” I gently pushed open the door and called inside, waiting for half a day with no answer.

Holding the candle, I walked in, and within a few steps, I saw the motionless man on the bed through the dim light.

Shen Wunian’s face is pale, his head is turned to the side, his eyes are tightly closed, one hand is hanging on the edge of the bed, and from a distance, his chest is not rising and falling at all.

“Shen, Shen Wunian?” My brain was blank for a moment, and I quickly stepped forward, a trembling hand probing his nostrils.

Luckily, there was still air. Despite the hot and fast breathing, alive.

I immediately dropped to my knees, stunned.

I reached out to feel his forehead, it was even hotter than before, it must be at least 38C upwards.

“It’s hot ……”

I put the electronic candle on the bedside table and unbuttoned his shirt for him one by one. The gauze on his chest was exposed, having been thoroughly soaked by the rain, revealing a vague color of blood. Gently removing the gauze, I saw the horrible wounds in front of me and gasped.

The original should be stitched closed knife wound is now red and swollen open, filled with gauze soaked with medicine, it looks …… like a large piece of flesh has been plucked out.

It feels like the tip of the knife didn t go in much at the time, so how …… did it hurt so bad? Is it infected?

I took off the wet clothes for him, and when I wanted to take off my pants, I suddenly touched a piece of hard stuff in his pocket. Pulled out a look, is a key.

Raise the key to the eye, and to the foot to gesture a little …… try to insert into the lock hole, “click” sound, the ankle iron ring opened.

Surprised …… just opened?

The long lost freedom is close at hand, I froze for a moment before reacting, jumped up from the floor, busy running to the door.

The corridor is dark, I shivered and ran back to get the candle.

Shen Wunian was unconscious and didn’t even open his eyes.

Even though he was unconscious at the moment, he wouldn’t be able to catch up, but just in case, I still put the chains on his feet. I put on the right foot first, found that there was already a piece of electronic shackle, can only switch to the left foot. When I was done, I took the key and went downstairs, dropping it casually on the floor.

Outside, the rain was much lighter, and as I grabbed a long-handled umbrella from the umbrella stand by the door, I couldn’t wait to get out into the rain.

As I walked along the path in front of the garage, the light was dim, but fortunately there was a streetlight every now and then, so I wasn’t completely in the dark.

My slippers got soaked within a few steps, and every step after that was like stepping on muddy grass. After a few hundred meters I finally saw a metal door, usually there should be a remote control to open it, but I could not find it, so I had to turn it from above. Luckily the gate wasn’t too high and with the help of the umbrella handle I was able to get over it without any problems.

For the rest of the trip, I held the electronic candle in my arms and walked on the disk road for almost an hour before I finally saw the wide main road at the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the brighter main road not far away, I slowly stopped and looked back the way I came. The end of the road was a hazy shadow of trees, with no trace of the villa for a long time. Shen Wunian’s open wound suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, I shook my head and quickened my pace to continue walking forward.

May be in the middle of nowhere, the traffic on the main road is very sparse, I stood on the side of the road waving to stop the car, stopped for half an hour and did not stop.

His body is usually quite strong, should not die, right?

With a whoosh, a small car drove off without looking back.

But the rain was so dirty, and the wound was so close to his heart and lungs, what if he had sepsis?

Whoosh, another big truck drives away and splashes me.

Seems like it would be easy to die if you went into septic shock …… He wouldn’t have gone into shock already, would he?

It was like there were extra scales in my heart, freedom on one side and human life on the other.

He lied to me, locked me up and humiliated me with money …… Every time I think about it, the weight of freedom increases.

But he also saved me, take care of me, for me to find these candles …… scales slowly tend to balance, everything back to the original point.

Well, half a day of torture was for nothing.

Tighten the umbrella handle, I said to myself, will leave everything to the will of God, three more cars, three more cars did not stop, I will go back to take a look.

The first car passed quickly, the second car stopped, asked me what I was doing, know that I want to hitchhike, a foot pedal is also gone.

The third car took a long time, and it took about ten minutes for it to arrive.

The driver, a middle-aged man, stopped the car, rolled down the window and looked at me for a while, asking what I wanted.

“I want to go to Jiang City.” I said.

He shook his head, “I am not going to Jiang City.

This may be the will of God ……

I sighed inwardly and was about to say goodbye to the driver and head back when the other party suddenly changed his words and continued, “But I can send you to the gas station in front of me, and you can go there and ask if there’s anyone going to Jiang City.

“Ah ……”

That is indeed an idea.

“How about it, are you going or not?” The middle-aged man saw me not moving and urged me.

“Ohhh, okay, thanks.” I put my umbrella down and went to the back door.

I pulled it open and stared at the black leather seats for a moment before closing my eyes and slamming them shut again.

“Sorry Uncle, I changed my mind, you go.” I bent down and saluted the driver’s uncle and turned to walk up the hill.

The rain basically stopped, only two or three drops occasionally hit my face with the wind, I used the long-handled umbrella as a walking stick and used my strength to climb up the hill, afraid that if I went back too late, Shen Wunian would really die.

I still hate him.

I hate that he’s always shaking me, and I hate that he’s always shaking me.

How true were Philia’s words? Was the wall of investigation a deliberate attempt to make me discover it? Was he really mad or just pretending? Is there something else in me that he needs?

Somehow, I understand Liang Weiren’s state of mind. I’m afraid of being betrayed, and I can’t tell the difference between true love and false intentions.

But I’m not Liang Weiren, and I don’t want to be Liang Weiren.

It took me an hour to walk down the mountain, and even if I walked up the mountain faster, it would still only take me a little while to get back to the villa in front of the iron gate, and the sky was already light.

As usual, I rolled over from the top, and the moment I landed, my toes went through the front of my slippers, so I just threw them off and walked barefoot on the street.

Luckily I left the door open when I left or I would have had to climb out the window.

The villa was as quiet as when I left, I tried to turn on the lights, still no power. But it was already light outside, so it didn’t make any difference if there were lights or not.

I casually put the umbrella and the electronic candle aside and lightly walked up to the second floor.

There were no traces of chains leading from the bedroom door, which surprised me a bit.

Shen Wunian woke up? And ran into my bedroom? He shouldn’t be studying how to remove the retractable device in the ceiling.

If he was alive and well, I would immediately turn around and flee.

I was ready to run at any moment, but what I saw when I opened the door was not what I expected.

In the room full of flickering electronic candles, the window veil fluttering in the wind, the chains snaking and twisting, and Shen Wunian, topless, sitting on the crimson carpet, piecing together the corner of the puzzle I had left behind.

A line of blood ran down from his wound, and a closer look revealed what looked like a budding rose tattooed on his chest.

He looked up at the sound of a voice, no surprise or anger on his face.

“Are you a hallucination of mine?” He asked calmly.

I was suddenly scared, was this burning stupid or more crazy?

“Do you …… have any anti-inflammatory medication here to bring down the fever or something?” I walked over to him and tried to pull him up from the floor, the skin on my hands was so hot to the touch that I wondered if the blood in his body would open up any second.

“You shouldn’t have come back, just like I shouldn’t have saved you.” As sick as he was, he was still strong, and when I didn’t pull him up, he pulled me down instead.

I stumbled forward to my knees with one hand on the ground, “You ……”

“I should have left you in the container, it was for the best …… “He raised his other hand and rubbed the back of it against my cheek, “But I couldn’t.”

“These days I wonder why I couldn’t.” The intense heat burned the corners of his eyes and dried his lips.

“I hate your tears, I hate that you smile at people, I hate that the old man knows about you, and I hate that you have traces of someone else on you. …… Why do I have to play these ridiculous dating games with you when I’m obviously cured?” His hand went down to my neck, loosely choking it and releasing it.

“You’re just a stray cat I casually fed, I shouldn’t have called you ……. I even freaked out about you with Liang Zai and rushed back from the hospital in the rain ……”

“My pain is all because of you, the five years you were ignorant, I lived in purgatory ……”

“I should have hated you, I hated you from the beginning.”

“What step did I take wrong ……”

He spoke upside down, some I could understand and some I couldn’t.

I pursed my lips and couldn’t help the dryness in my voice as I asked, “So why couldn’t you?”

He looked at me for a long time, and a vivid smile suddenly appeared on his expressionless face, crazy, sick, and desperate.

“I think …… I love you.” As he spoke, he grabbed me by the lapels of my shirt and pulled me toward him, pressing his lips gently against mine, rubbing them lovingly twice, then quickly pulling away.

“But I know you won’t believe it.”
