【Ice Nine】Cage

The rain is getting weaker, drifting thinly in the long alley, covering one curtain after another desolately.

Jiu Niang gently pulled her fur-trimmed sleeves to cover her cold hands from holding the handle of the umbrella.

The alley was very quiet, and there were hardly any human voices.Her steps quickened unconsciously, her fingers curled tightly, and her face was frozen cold.

When she finally reached the somewhat old house at the end of the alley, she almost breathed a sigh of relief, raised her hand to grab the door knocker, and walked into the house.

Turning around, she was about to close the door, but suddenly a pale and cold hand pressed on the door, and she couldn't close it with only a little effort.

Jiu Niang's expression changed, she desperately pressed the edge of the door to prevent anyone from entering, and the things in her hand fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

"Shen Qingqiu."

The voice of the young man in black was emotionally unclear, but the strength in his hand was controlled just right, so that the person behind the door would not be pushed away and fall.

Jiuniang lowered her eyes slightly not to look at him, and gritted her teeth to keep him out of the door.

"Master."

Seeing that he didn't respond, the man yelled softly again, his words were sincere and there was no hint of teasing.

The person inside the door only froze for a short moment before being embraced into a warm embrace, and kissed almost passionately.

"I'm here to pick you up."

Luo Binghe caressed the cold eyebrows under his palm, as if he was afraid of disturbing anything, and his tone was a little cautious.

"..."

"Go away."

The man with his eyes closed said calmly and without emotion.It was an incomparably clear voice that did not match that gorgeous appearance.

Luo Binghe hugged him tightly, and said softly: "We need to have a good talk."

"Go away!"

Shen Qingqiu opened his eyes suddenly, the hatred in his eyes seemed to burn through the person in front of him.

The fearless Master Mozun seemed flustered and bewildered at this moment, he just hugged the person in his arms tightly, as if he was afraid that if he was not paying attention, he would run away.

He said in a shy voice: "No matter what, you go back with me immediately." One hand stroked Shen Qingqiu's stomach, feeling that fragile little life through the thick winter clothes. "Besides, it's too dangerous for you to do this, shall we go back?"

Shen Qingqiu's scalp would explode when he touched his stomach, if, if that little bastard slapped him...

He didn't dare to think about it.After that little bit of trust was shattered by Luo Binghe himself, he never dared to trust anyone, let alone the little beast himself.

If this child was finally killed by Luo Binghe after fighting for half his life, Shen Qingqiu can guarantee that even if he risked his life, he would definitely cut this beast to pieces.

Shen Qingqiu's face was very ugly, and without even taking into account his nondescript attire, he pushed Luo Binghe fiercely, pushing him away from him.

The door was slammed shut with a bang.

Perhaps Luo Binghe had some scruples and didn't dare to resist, so he was isolated outside the mottled door.

The door seemed to be a barrier, and the house was the best protection.

Shen Qingqiu fastened the door fast, then leaned over with some difficulty to pick up the things on the ground.

The oil-paper umbrella was still dripping with water, so he put it in the corner of the room, letting the area get wet with a lot of water.

He seemed to calmly wiped off the makeup on his face, changed his clothes, and felt that it was getting colder, so he lit a charcoal fire again in the house, and even cooked a simple dinner for himself with quick hands and feet.

Everything was the same as usual, he lived a boring life.just, just...

Shen Qingqiu slammed the bamboo chopsticks on the table with a "slap", and pressed his forehead to block his dense thoughts, but the effect was minimal.

The rain outside the window picked up again at some point, some of it splashed in from the outside, and wet the pot of evergreen under the window sill, as if the tips of the leaves were radiating cold air.

Shen Qingqiu closed his eyes in pain, he knew that Luo Binghe would find him sooner or later, he might have noticed his unusual attire from the very beginning, but he didn't tell the truth, he was afraid that he would embarrass himself.

He hasn't figured out what to do, even when Luo Binghe mentioned it today, he suddenly thought, how should he give birth to the child?

This child has been regarded as an inseparable part by him, and he must never lose it.

For the sake of this child's safety, he did not hesitate to lose face and dressed up as a woman every day, so that he was able to settle down in this village.But no matter how much the skin looks like a woman, he is determined not to be able to make a woman's voice. In order not to arouse suspicion, he stopped talking and let others regard him as dumb.

He didn't dare to say how much he had done for this child, because he knew that his previous injuries similar to self-harm had caused irreversible effects.This is at least my own flesh and blood, how can I be more useless than others since birth.

Shen Qingqiu was so distraught that even his stomach felt uncomfortable.He rubbed his belly irritably and walked up and down the room.

He deliberately didn't think about anything other than the child. He felt a terrible headache and really didn't want to torment himself.

But I'm afraid that little beast was born to restrain him, the more he restrained himself from thinking about it, the more he thought about all those messy things.

Shen Qingqiu remembered Luo Binghe's light and flirtatious words that day, and couldn't help but feel chills in his heart, and even his fingertips turned white.

Just for fun...

Luo Binghe, you are really nothing.

He pursed his lips, got up and poured himself a glass of water, as if he wanted to swallow the secret bitterness in his heart.

The rain outside was pouring down mercilessly, and the sound of falling on the roof was exceptionally loud, which made the restless Shen Qingqiu even more sleepless.

He was very anxious, but he couldn't figure out what was bothering him, so he could only fidget in the room.

In the end, he angrily began to curse the culprit of all this again. He didn't know how many times it was, he was always unable to perfectly control his emotions in front of Luo Binghe.This person is very capable of disturbing himself, and those superficial self-cultivation will always be defeated in front of him.

Suddenly there was a soft sound outside the door, not loud, maybe it was just the sound of the wind blowing on the wooden door, and it was so small that it was hard to detect under the cover of the rain.

It's just that Shen Qingqiu didn't know if it was because of the hard-to-calm state of mind in Shen Qingqiu's heart, or something else, but he walked lightly and silently to the door.

"Master."

He had just put his hand on the latch, and before he could do anything, he was suddenly startled by a voice.

He knew that Luo Binghe would not give up the idea of ​​taking him back so easily, and at this moment he only thought that Luo Binghe had discovered that he had come, and his face was livid with anger at his ignorant behavior.

Luo Binghe's voice seemed to be wrapped in thick water vapor, as heavy as the downpour.

He pressed his forehead against the door, so the voice was close enough not to be completely swallowed by the heavy rain.

But right away, Shen Qingqiu knew that Luo Binghe hadn't discovered him, but because he had been rambling on.But the rain was too heavy, and Shen Qingqiu was restless, so he didn't notice his movement outside the door.

Realizing that Luo Binghe hadn't found him, Shen Qingqiu heaved a sigh of relief, but he didn't back away, but gritted his teeth and continued to stand motionless behind the door.

"Master, let me see you, I want to see you."

"I didn't know you would suffer all this. It's my fault that I came late."

"Master, come back with me. After the child is born, we can raise him well together."

"Master, we... can start over..."

Those voices blended with the heavy rain, and when they came through the door panel, they seemed a little ridiculously humble.

Shen Qingqiu listened numbly to what he said, didn't even bother to distinguish the truth from the falsehood, and walked back to the bed.

He always couldn't figure out why Luo Binghe always felt that everything should be taken for granted, but after all the messy things, he could ignore so many things, as if they had never happened.

But in Shen Qingqiu's eyes, once some words are spoken, there is no turning back.

He didn't want to take it lightly at all, just like he wouldn't let go of those disgusting women who hurt him, he was always willing to pursue it viciously to the end instead of swallowing his anger.

Now, if Luo Binghe really came here with some sincerity, perhaps just for this child who also has his blood, he should know that Shen Qingqiu is not so easy to give up.After that dripping knife in the heart, she would still willingly let him manipulate her.

He, Shen Qingqiu, wasn't that lowly yet.
