After entering the book, I no longer want to be a substitute

Yunxiu pressed his palm hard, telling himself not to act rashly and to develop good habits.

After hearing what she said, Shen Que didn't know whether he believed it or not, and his face was as gloomy as water.

We quarrel as soon as we meet, and there is nothing to do.

Seeing that he didn't move, Yunxiu became annoyed and stood up to leave.

His hand was grabbed with astonishing force. Yunxiu staggered for a moment and was then picked up by the waist.

A pain came from the back of his neck, and the light in front of his eyes gradually dimmed and turned gray until all the light disappeared. Yunxiu lost the strength to struggle and completely fainted.

Shen Que lowered his eyes, his gaze lightly swept across her closed eyes, and couldn't help but hug her tighter.

The housekeeper watched from the side, confused, lowered his head slightly, and asked, "Master, Miss Yun may not like this method."

Shen Que didn't even look at him and walked towards the stairs with the person in his arms.

The housekeeper sighed heavily, shook his head, went to the kitchen, and told the chef to make lighter dishes.

The chefs agreed one by one, not daring to refute Yunxiu who actually liked spicy food.

Third floor, end of the corridor.

Shen Que glanced at the person's face and the door opened automatically. He was the only one who could enter this room.

He generally does not allow people to come in and out at will.

There was no light on in the room, and the curtains were drawn tightly. There was no light at all, and it was pitch black.

Shen Que hooked his foot and the door closed.

The person in his arms seemed to be frightened, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Shen Que seemed to be particularly familiar with the structure and layout here. He did not turn on the light and continued to walk inside.

After walking for a while, he put Yunxiu down and the girl lay down on a bed.

Shen Que fumbled and turned on a small lamp, and the warm yellow light illuminated the place in a small area.

The sheets and quilts were a set of gray. Yunxiu lay there quietly, without any of the aggressive aura he had just shown, and seemed much more obedient.

The bed was enclosed in a large golden cage, the door of which was now open and had a device similar to an electronic lock hanging on it.

There was a long iron chain in the cage that hung down from the top of the head and extended to the side of the bed.

There were some things scattered on the ground: ropes, blindfolds, handcuffs, whips...

Shen Que stared at her for a long time, the anger in his eyes had long since dissipated, leaving only a dark and unclear look.

He smoothed the hair by Yunxiu's ears, caught a glimpse of her hair tie out of the corner of his eye, and reached out to take it off.

The moment her hair was spread out, Shen Que felt strange for a moment.

She is neither like Meng Yao nor Yun Xiu.

It was as if he had never seen such a quiet and steady person before. He felt uncomfortable and his eyes shifted away from Yunxiu's face.

Shen Que thought he was just overthinking and stood up to pick up the chain on the ground.

Since she is disobedient, she has no choice but to be locked up.

Only by locking her up will she be more obedient.

If you make trouble again, you will only beg for mercy when you get hurt and cry.

According to the previous procedure, he should have given her a good beating first, but considering that she was seriously injured last time, he let her go for the time being.

Yunxiu opened his eyes with a distorted expression, his head felt dizzy and he felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained.

So powerless.

Yunxiu felt as soft as a cloud.

She could feel herself lying there, and the scene before her was strange yet familiar, with a chilling and eerie air.

Yunxiu turned her head and discovered the golden cage. She also saw the back of Shen Que's head.

Hearing the sound of chains colliding next to his ears, Yunxiu probably knew what he was going to do.

She knew that Shen Que was an extremely dark and sinister person behind the scenes.

Shen Que picked up the key from the ground, threw it outside the cage, and picked up the chain with a bang.

When I turned around, I found that Yunxiu had sat up, moved to the edge of the bed, and was trying to take away another customized night light.

Of course he knew what it was for.

But she has always been timid and would never fight back if beaten. Why is she so aggressive today?

Shen Que didn't show any fear at all, instead he found it very interesting. He fiddled with the thing in his hand, lowered his deep eyes slightly, looked at her, and said, "Why, you want to use this thing to force yourself on me?"

He looked down on her with a playful air.

Yunxiu thought he would at least stop her, but she didn't expect him to look down on her so much.

In that case, she had no choice but to take it.

But in Shen Que's eyes, such behavior was like a lamb protesting against a wolf.

It won't cause any waves, at most it will make him laugh.

Yunxiu gritted his teeth in anger, he was really looking down on others.

She moved her hips, trying to get as far away from him as possible. "You want to lock me up, right?"

He even knew how to run. This was getting interesting. Shen Que didn't move from where he was. "You didn't listen. You caused this yourself."

When he said this, there was no smile on his face anymore, and he looked at her like prey.

Yunxiu swallowed and pretended to be very scared, his hand holding the lantern shaking.

"But the person you like is Meng Yao, and I'm just Yun Xiu. I don't want to deceive myself anymore. I don't want to be a nameless stand-in..."

She carefully observed Shen Que's expression.

The man had a gloomy face and looked extremely fierce.

I don’t know if it was because Meng Yao was mentioned, or because she said she didn’t want to be a stand-in.

Shen Que put down the chain, walked around the head of the bed, sat down next to Yunxiu, and grabbed her neck.

The man seemed to be suppressing some emotion, the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, his jawline was tense, and there was a tremendous rage in his eyes.

Yunxiu felt that he was facing a monster with unpredictable mood.

His temper comes and goes as he pleases.

"Don't you want to act anymore so soon? Wasn't this your own request?" Shen Que half-closed his eyes and asked in a cold tone.

Yunxiu admitted that he was a little scary now, like a beast that would tear her apart in the next second.

Shen Que's words made Yunxiu a little confused. What did it mean...she wanted to act?

Her silence made Shen Que very dissatisfied.

"Did I ever ask you to replace Meng Yao? Didn't you try every possible way to get close to me from the beginning, saying you were willing to be Meng Yao's shadow and stay by my side? I only agreed to it because you looked so pitiful. Do you think I'm really as dumb as they say, that I can't even tell the difference between Meng Yao and Yun Xiu?"

Shen Que let her go with a smile on his face, but he was clearly unhappy, with a dark look in his eyes.

Yunxiu's eyes widened, his mind racing.

What's going on? It turns out that Shen Que didn't request the substitute himself, but Yun Xiu took the initiative to propose to stay by his side in this way?

She seemed to know nothing, which made Shen Que feel extremely angry.

Shen Yun sneered, "How much of an impact can Meng Yao's disappearance have on me? Are you sad? I think I am a little sad, but so what? Do I have to be like you, looking for death all day long?"

Yunxiu was stunned: "..."

Wait, why is this happening...

He doesn't love Meng Yao, and he can't even say he likes her?

Did the system deceive her and give her a fake script?

However, for so many years, he has been helping Meng Yao in various ways and acting as if he is doting on her in front of outsiders. Why is it?
