【Interstellar Contract Magician】Ruyuanke

I instinctively tried to struggle, but his strength was so great that I barely had time to react.

Before I could even open my mouth, he mercilessly dragged me to the lounge. The warm light in the room instantly adjusted to the perfect brightness, temperature, and humidity for rest. Everything instantly became almost too comfortable. The walls shimmered with a gentle, elegant light, and the entire environment seemed almost too inviting to leave.

However, my attention wasn't drawn to the surroundings at all. Instead, I was stunned by the reality of being forcibly pushed onto the small bed. He had actually "directly" pressed me down on the bed, my entire body almost pressed against the leather wall, and the space was so cramped that I could barely breathe.

I twisted my body, trying to make some space for myself, however unlikely it was. "Shan Qi, what are you doing?" I asked with some dissatisfaction, my tone clearly complaining, but I still didn't dare to get too excited. After all, his calm attitude always made people afraid to act rashly.

He glanced at me indifferently, as if he didn't care about my complaints, "Do you think you can continue doing those boring experiments in your current state? Rest is what you need most. At least, you will be clearer after resting." His voice was flat, but the irrefutable tone revealed an irresistible pressure.

"Didn't I tell you? Who do you think you are?" I frowned a little excitedly. Even though I was very close to him at this time, I still felt that he was a little superior, looking down at me coldly, as if I was a chess piece that could not escape his arrangement.

He didn't answer immediately, only frowning slightly and remaining silent for a moment. Then, he adjusted his position slightly, as if to give us more space—but the bed was still too small to accommodate both of us. In the end, his back pressed against the leather wall, causing me to feel a sense of oppression.

"Don't worry, you'll fall asleep in a while." He said this without any hesitation, with a cold determination in his eyes.

"What do you think I am, a lullaby?" I couldn't help but laugh at him, but I still didn't struggle. I just closed my eyes helplessly.

He didn't answer, only sighing softly and relaxing slightly. I could feel his calm breathing, the aura emanating from him, gradually making the atmosphere in the room more calm. It wasn't so much a rest as it was a forced suppression of my resistance. But gradually, I found that my tension was beginning to dissipate, as if invisible, and my physical fatigue was slowly emerging. My breathing, involuntarily, began to slow down.

"You know..." I suddenly whispered, my words unconsciously carrying a hint of fatigue, "I really don't like this feeling of being forced to be quiet."

Shan Qi seemed to sense my change in mood. His gaze was no longer as cold as before, but rather a little gentler. "You have to learn to relax," he said softly. "Sometimes, only by being quiet can you truly understand yourself. Maybe you don't like this method, but this is the most effective way for you."

"Do you think I don't like it because I don't want to rest, or because I don't want to be controlled by you?" I suddenly asked, a complex emotion swirling in my heart. Whether it was Shan Qi's unquestionable arrangement or my own suppressed feeling of powerlessness, it made me feel a little uneasy.

Shan Qi didn't answer me directly. He just closed his eyes slightly, as if enjoying this quiet moment. "You'll understand," he said softly, his voice calm as if he was explaining some unspeakable truth.

I didn't say anything more, my body gradually becoming exhausted. Even though I still felt a little reluctant, I eventually relaxed. The air around me grew lighter, the light and warmth seeming to envelop me completely. Gradually, I fell into a state of silence, the only sounds in my ears being Dan Qi's even breathing and my own increasingly steady heartbeat.

Just as I was about to fall asleep, I couldn't help but mutter to myself, "When will I ever truly understand Shan Qi?"

However, that question remained unanswered. And so, in the silence, I finally fell into a deep sleep.
