Chapter 51: Imprisoned Love
Wen Yuhuai didn’t speak again. He pressed his forehead against the car window, staring blankly at the scenery passing by.
Fu Xingjian wasn’t afraid of him looking. Seeing that he seemed interested in the view outside, he spoke in a gentle tone, “Do you like it here? When the weather is nice, we can go for a walk in the mountains together to clear your head.”
Wen Yuhuai withdrew his gaze, leaned his head against the seat back, and simply closed his eyes.
Fu Xingjian didn’t push his luck further. He focused on driving, and after turning another corner, the architectural silhouette of a villa gradually appeared in his sight.
The car came to a steady halt in front of the villa. Fu Xingjian opened his door and stepped out, then circled around to open the rear door for Wen Yuhuai, his voice tender and cloying, “Baby, we’re home.”
Wen Yuhuai didn’t move an inch. He kept his eyes closed with an expressionless face, looking as if he were asleep.
Fu Xingjian knew he wasn’t asleep; he was merely putting up a final resistance.
He stared at him quietly for a moment before suddenly leaning into the car. With clear intent, he pinned the man against the seat and lowered his head to kiss the lips he had long yearned for.
His tongue impatiently forced its way past Wen Yuhuai’s teeth, invading aggressively and plundering like a conquering army.
“Tsk.”
The kiss didn’t last long before they were forced apart. Fu Xingjian let out a soft hiss, a trace of bright red appearing on his tongue.
However, he only chuckled. He licked his lips with a sense of lingering desire; the pale lips stained with blood gave him an eerily bewitching appearance.
“Are you less angry now? If not, do you want to take another bite?”
Wen Yuhuai clenched his jaw tightly, glaring at him with eyes full of rage. His body trembled slightly from the fury.
Fu Xingjian leaned in close again, his dark pupils filled with intense possessiveness. “Of course, if Baby wants to do it in the car, that’s fine too. There’s no one around anyway, so you don’t have to worry about being seen.”
As he finished speaking, he bent a long leg and knelt on the outside of Wen Yuhuai’s thigh, seemingly ready to squeeze into the car to fulfill his words. Wen Yuhuai finally couldn’t sit still any longer. He scrambled out the other side, pulled the door open, and got out of the car.
Fu Xingjian’s eyes curved in satisfaction. He followed him out and paced leisurely behind him with his long strides.
The villa’s main entrance was equipped with a fingerprint lock and facial recognition. Before Wen Yuhuai could react, the door had already recognized his face and opened automatically.
At this point, the probability of escaping was almost zero, and further resistance was futile. Wen Yuhuai pursed his lips and eventually stepped inside.
After crossing the courtyard, the house door also used facial recognition. Wen Yuhuai turned the handle, paused for a few seconds at the threshold, and finally walked in.
Following a few steps behind him, Fu Xingjian watched this scene, the corners of his mouth curling upward uncontrollably. It was like watching a little white rabbit walk into the big bad wolf’s den of its own accord; his heart was filled with infinite satisfaction.
He forgot to mention—the locks here were all one-way. Entering was effortless, but if one wanted to leave, they couldn’t even get out of the house door without his permission.
Once Wen Yuhuai entered, he picked a random room and locked himself inside. He tried his best to calm down and organized his current situation in his mind.
Without a signal, his phone was just a brick; he couldn’t send out any useful information. It would also be difficult for his parents to notice anything unusual here. Even if they remembered to ask a few questions, Fu Xingjian could easily fool them with some random excuse.
This villa was situated halfway up a mountain, and usually, no cars ever passed by. If he wanted to run, he could only rely on his own two legs. But even driving this distance took half an hour; if he relied solely on walking, he feared he’d be caught and dragged back before he even left the villa’s perimeter.
At this thought, his ears buzzed involuntarily, and his already heavy head felt a wave of dizziness.
Click.
The door handle was gently turned from the outside. Wen Yuhuai immediately reacted like a startled animal, snapping his eyes toward the door.
After a few more soft sounds, the handle turned up and down a few times before falling silent, as if the person outside had accepted reality.
However, Wen Yuhuai didn’t lower his guard in the slightest. His gaze remained fixed on the door handle.
Sure enough, only two minutes later, there was movement again. The sound of a key turning in the lock was crisp. A moment later, the door was slowly and deliberately pushed open from the outside.
Fu Xingjian took a look around the room and slowly approached him. “So Baby likes this room.”
Wen Yuhuai’s lips formed a tight line. He looked up at him and said, “It’s good that you’re here. Let’s talk.”
Fu Xingjian sat down on the sofa set against the wall, looking at him with composed interest. “I’m right here. What does Baby want to talk about?”
Wen Yuhuai gripped the mattress beneath him tightly, his tone relatively calm. “When do you plan to let me go?”
Fu Xingjian crossed his long legs, a careless smile hanging on his face. “Didn’t I say it already? When you agree to be with me and give me a proper status in front of outsiders, I will give you your freedom.”
Wen Yuhuai’s eyelashes trembled, and his voice followed suit. “You want me to come out of the closet publicly?”
Fu Xingjian leaned toward him, his tone softening a bit. “A-Yu, don’t be afraid. I’ll be with you. I’ll stand in front of you and block any rumors or gossip.”
Wen Yuhuai still looked at him with that expression of disbelief. “You want me, a straight man, to come out publicly?”
If he were gay, he might have accepted it, but he was a straight man through and through. What kind of closet was he supposed to come out of?
the smile on Fu Xingjian’s face faded slightly. “A straight man? You might not be one for much longer.”
These words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly shocking Wen Yuhuai to his core. Like a trapped beast fighting for its life, he grabbed the lamp on the nightstand, looking ready to smash it over the man’s head if he dared to come closer. “What do you want to do?”
Fu Xingjian didn’t move. He remained seated on the sofa and took out a cigarette from his pocket. He seemed to want to light it but restrained himself, instead carelessly playing with the expensive lighter.
A small blue flame flickered at his fingertips and was quickly extinguished. He said unhurriedly, “Why so nervous? If you’re unwilling, could I possibly force you?”
The veins on Wen Yuhuai’s temples throbbed uncontrollably. “Locking me up here right now is forcing me—”
Fu Xingjian continued to watch him without blinking. Upon hearing this, he curled his lips slightly and responded nonchalantly, “If you insist on thinking that way, then just consider that I am forcing you.”
Wen Yuhuai was on the verge of a breakdown. In the end, he put down the lamp and tried a gentler approach.
“Jian-ge, I admit my previous attitude was a bit too extreme. I shouldn’t have rejected you without even thinking. Can you give me some more time to go back and think about it properly, and then I’ll give you an answer?”
After a pause, he added, “Also, regarding you kidnapping me before, I’ll pretend I don’t know anything about it and won’t pursue it in the future. We can just turn the page, okay?”
Fu Xingjian slowly curled his lips into a smile. Just when Wen Yuhuai thought he saw a glimmer of hope, he heard the man utter the most heartless words in the gentlest voice.
“No.”
He stood up and approached him, reaching out to pull him into his arms. His lips pressed against Wen Yuhuai’s ear, his hot breath fanning against the sensitive shell of his ear. “You can think here, too. You can think however you want. It’s best if you can figure it out, but if you can’t…”
“I believe I also said that if you’re unwilling, then we’ll just live here forever.”
“After all, this place is very large. It’s not like locking you in will break you.”
