Imprisoning the Black Moonlight

Yao Gongyue was awakened by You Lili's scream and was so angry that she wanted to kill someone.

"What the hell? I have talismans in my drawer, take them out and stick them on your forehead!" she shouted angrily.

"No...no," Yuri ran over and roughly pulled her off the bed.

"Can you confirm if I'm seeing things? Who does that man look like?"

Yao Gongyue was pulled to the window and looked down. In the dim light, she could only see the sharp outline of an SUV and the tall figure of a man.

Another bolt of lightning flashed—

The crimson light instantly illuminated half of the night sky.

Only then could she truly see the people downstairs.

I took out my phone and saw it was 1:30 a.m.

Another inexplicable discomfort welled up in my chest.

The two looked at each other.

"Yuebao, do you want to go down and talk to him? What's wrong with him all of a sudden?"

"I'm not going!" Yao Gongyue turned and lay down on the bed. "Are you crazy?!"

Yu Lili sighed, "Baby, other men might genuinely be acting out their deep affection to gain sympathy, but he isn't!"

"Why?" the girl asked in a muffled voice, turning her face away.

"He didn't even know how to pursue you and had to come to me for advice. In fact, I almost taught him step by step, but he couldn't even last an afternoon before he confessed everything. This shows that he's a true straight man, a steel straight man, and he doesn't have that many tricks up his sleeve."

As Yu Lili spoke, she pulled her best friend out of bed and draped a coat over her shoulders. "Go and talk to him. Even if he really wants to pursue you, this isn't the way to do it!"

Yao Gongyue lowered her eyes and thought for two seconds, "Where are my slippers?"

Yu Lili rolled her eyes at her, "All you ever do is look for are slippers or socks. Am I your mother?"

While complaining, he bent down and found her slippers under the bed, then put them on her feet.

……

The night was dark and the wind was howling. The man leaned against the car, the cigarette between his fingers about to burn out.

Ding Ding Deng

The sound of slightly hurried footsteps approached from afar.

The man looked up abruptly. In the darkness, a beautiful young woman, wearing a long coat and with her hair flying wildly in the wind, was running towards him.

“The moon…” His hand trembled, his voice a little hoarse, “Why did you come down? It’s cold at night!”

"You know it's cold at night? In this freezing weather, are you planning to stand here until dawn? There's a limit to how much you can bother someone. What are you trying to do?" Yao Gongyue was a little angry. "I'm very busy. I have to go to class during the day, prepare for exams, and find ways to make money. I'm not a good student to begin with, so I have to work harder than others. Is it really necessary for you to bother me in the middle of the night?"

"I'm sorry, Moon!" Nuohan was flustered and at a loss, and her appearance, on the verge of tears, was truly heartbreaking.

"I didn't mean to, Moon, don't be angry, I'll leave right now, okay? Don't be angry!"

He took two steps closer, trying to pull her up, but was shoved away.

"Don't come here again!" After saying this, she turned away coldly, her slender back stretched long in the dim light, like a sharp sword, piercing the man's heart again and again.

Nuohan stood there, his hands trembling, his heart aching so much he could hardly breathe. He didn't understand why, even though he had met her first, the ending remained unchanged. In the end, in both his lives, he could never have her…

The intense pain tormented the man so much that he could barely stand, but the one who fainted first was Yao Gongyue, who was about to walk downstairs.

"Moon!" The man was so startled he almost cried out. He took two steps to catch up, picked up the person, put them in the car, and rushed to the hospital like a madman.

Less than 24 hours later, I had two full-body checkups, and the results were the same: everything was normal.

Lying in her hospital bed, Yao Gongyue couldn't understand it either. She turned to leave, but after only a few steps, the pain in her chest became so intense that she couldn't stand up. It was beyond her limit. Even now, just thinking about that pain makes her scalp tingle.

"Moon, here, have some water!" The man handed her some warm water. "How are you feeling now?"

Yao Gongyue took the water glass and took a sip. "When did the doctor say I could leave? The smell here is weird, I don't want to stay here."

The man was completely used to her fussiness. He took the water glass and placed it on the bedside table. "You can leave anytime, but it's not dawn yet."

When Yao Gongyue left the dormitory building, she told the dormitory manager that she would be back in two or three minutes. Now that so much time has passed, knocking on the door again would obviously get her scolded. However, she doesn't feel any discomfort at the moment and doesn't want to stay in the hospital.

“My apartment is right across from your school, you can come to my place first!” the man said tentatively, then added, afraid she might overthink it, “If you don’t want to stay with me, I can stay in the car and not even come inside.”

Yao Gongyue was both amused and exasperated. "What are you doing? It's like I'm bullying you."

"I'm afraid you'll be unhappy, Moon. I'm so afraid you'll be unhappy and angry with me, and I don't know how to comfort you."

The girl's heart clenched, and she took a deep breath. "Where are my slippers?"

The man quickly bent down and slipped the delicate pink slippers onto her feet. "Where are you going?"

"Didn't you say you were going to your place?"

Nuohan's lips twitched, flattered and surprised, "Okay!"

-

"My goodness, this house is so big! Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about apartments?" Yao Gongyue exclaimed as she walked inside.

The houses here aren't cheap; she wasn't sure exactly how much, but one this big was definitely not something an average person could afford.

"This was arranged by my subordinates. I don't care, as long as I can see you." The man stood at the door, hesitating whether to go in or not.

Yao Gongyue paused in her stroll, turned around, and saw the man standing at the door. A tightness gripped her chest. "What are you doing standing at the door?"

"May I come inside?"

"Brother, this is your home!" she said, a little angry. "What did I do to you? Why are you acting like a wronged little wife?"

The man's Adam's apple bobbed, but he said nothing. He came in and closed the door.

"Are you tired? Go to your bedroom and get some sleep. I'll wake you up in the morning!"

"No rush, come here first, I want to ask you a few questions." Yao Gongyue sat down on the sofa and looked up at him.

Nuohan stiffly moved over and sat up straight.

Why were you downstairs at my dorm?

Nuohan's fingers, which were resting on his knees, twitched. "I'm anxious. I want to be closer to you."

"If I hadn't noticed, were you planning to stay until dawn?"

The man pursed his lips and remained silent, but Yao Gongyue understood perfectly well that his silence meant he admitted it.

Are you planning to stay there until dawn every night?

"I won't bother you. You have to let me see some light, moon. Don't I even deserve to be a little closer to you? Why are you so hostile towards me?"

The man finally couldn't hold back any longer. Suppressing the dull pain in his chest, he asked in a hoarse voice.

Looking into those injured, scarlet eyes, Yao Gongyue actually felt a pang of pity. "I didn't say that."

"Then why did you tell me not to come again?"

"Who stays up all night? Their body can't take it."

"That's still better than not being able to find you." The man's voice choked with emotion, his lips trembling as he suppressed his overwhelming feelings.

Their eyes met, and they remained silent for a long time.

After a long pause, the man finally reacted, "Moon, you...you're concerned about me, aren't you?"
