Chapter 73: Not Imprisonment, It’s Love! 73
He struggled hard.
He tried to break free from Li Qiulan’s restraint, but for some reason, his hands and feet felt inexplicably soft and powerless. However, Shen Tangqing didn’t have time to think deeply about it.
“Li Qiulan, I already told you, I don’t like men. A twisted melon isn’t sweet… You let go first…”
Before he could finish, Li Qiulan suddenly leaned in close.
His warm breath carried a light scent.
“Brother, I just love eating melons that aren’t sweet.”
After speaking, he picked Shen Tangqing up by the waist and placed him on the sofa.
Shen Tangqing: ?
Isn’t he in poor health? How is he so strong??
Wait, that’s not the point.
“What are you doing?”
Shen Tangqing leaned back against the sofa, struggling to get up, but Li Qiulan was faster, reaching out to pin his shoulder down.
He took a step forward, kneeling with one leg on the sofa, his hands pinning Shen Tangqing’s wrists.
Shen Tangqing was pinned against the sofa, unable to move.
The two were a bit close.
Their breaths seemed to intertwine.
“Brother, you actually still have strength. I thought… Brother wouldn’t have any strength left!”
After speaking, Li Qiulan revealed a smile to Shen Tangqing that looked innocent and harmless but actually hid a few degrees of calculation.
Shen Tangqing’s face changed abruptly.
What he hadn’t had time to think about just now was instantly realized upon Li Qiulan’s hint.
“You drugged me…?”
“En, I did. I was afraid Brother would move around and hurt himself…”
Li Qiulan resumed his mask of obedience.
Shen Tangqing gritted his back teeth, both angry and furious.
He thought Li Qiulan was kind, innocent, and simple.
He didn’t expect this guy to be a black sesame glutinous rice ballâwhite on the outside, black on the inside.
A big bad wolf pretending to be a little white rabbit in front of me!!!
“Li Qiulan, was everything you showed me before an act?” Shen Tangqing’s voice carried suppressed anger.
Li Qiulan blinked, his long, slender eyelashes trembling. He didn’t deny it.
“As long as Brother likes it, I can keep acting forever.”
After speaking, he released the hand pinning Shen Tangqing and shifted his right hand to press on Shen Tangqing’s shoulder, holding him down so he couldn’t get up.
“Whatever Brother likes, I’ll pretend to be what you like…”
“I won’t like you no matter what you are. You’d better let me leave right now.”
The smile on Li Qiulan’s lips froze in place, the warmth in his eyes fading bit by bit.
He raised his hand, his fingertips landing on Shen Tangqing’s collar.
Gently twisting the fabric, he spoke slowly, word by word.
“Then I’ll just have to lock Brother up until Brother likes me.”
Shen Tangqing looked at Li Qiulan in disbelief, his pupils dilating from shockâ
He hadn’t expected Li Qiulan to be so bold!
“Li Qiulan, this is illegal.”
At this moment, the grievance in Li Qiulan’s eyes had long vanished, leaving only undisguised madness and gloom.
Like damp moss accumulated over yearsâslimy, cold, exuding a chill that made one’s hair stand on end.
“Brother, you might not know, but in Jing City, no one dares to touch me yet. My backing… is harder than you think. Making you disappear silently from Jing City is something I can still accomplish.”
He looked at Shen Tangqing, his voice pressed extremely low, carrying a thick possessiveness, like an airtight net trapping Shen Tangqing firmly.
“So choose, Brother. Will you obediently stay by my side, or force me to take action and make sure you can never leave here?”
Shen Tangqing: ? Is this a multiple-choice question?
ââ
Li Qiulan had originally intended to take it slow, but who told Shen Tangqing to want to date!
And to be coveted by some ill-intentioned people.
He could only lock Shen Tangqing up.
Here, there were only the two of them. He could finally be with Brother.
Thinking of this, the corner of Li Qiulan’s mouth hooked into a strange arc of obsession and madness.
Truly makes one look forward to it!
âŚ
Shen Tangqing hadn’t expected Li Qiulan to be such an outlaw. He felt terrible.
He fell silent for a moment, forcing himself to calm down.
“Qiuqiu, I think we can talk properly.”
Hearing the name “Qiuqiu,” Li Qiulan’s expression instantly softened.
“Okay, Brother. You speak, I’m listening seriously.”
His obedient appearance was like a different person from the gloomy him just now.
Shen Tangqing gave a light cough.
“You let go of me first. Can we sit and talk properly?”
This posture really made Shen Tangqing feel uncomfortable.
Li Qiulan let go very readily and sat beside Shen Tangqing.
Shen Tangqing breathed a sigh of relief in secret. While unobtrusively shifting to the side, he slowly guided Li Qiulan.
“Qiuqiu, this matter of being with you isn’t a small thing. You have to give me time to consider, right? Don’t you think so?”
“En, Brother is right.” Li Qiulan nodded obediently, but his gaze was like a clinging vine, wrapped deadly around Shen Tangqing’s face.
“So…” Shen Tangqing slowed his speech, carrying a tentative caution.
“Can I go back and consider for a few days before giving you an answer?”
Li Qiulan stared into Shen Tangqing’s eyes, his gaze sharp, as if seeing through his thoughts.
A moment later, he suddenly smiled, carrying a meaning that was hard to fathom.
“Brother, shall I tell you a secret?”
Shen Tangqing’s heart gave an inexplicable jump, a trace of uneasiness rising for no reason.
“What secret?”
Li Qiulan smiled even sweeter, his eyes curving, innocent and harmless.
It made Shen Tangqing dazed for a moment, almost thinking the gloomy and crazy person from before was his hallucination.
The next second, Li Qiulan leaned sideways slightly, moving close to Shen Tangqing’s ear, and spoke slowly, word by word.
“Actually, from the very beginning, I never planned to let Brother leave.”
His words were like a basin of cold water poured over Shen Tangqing’s head, making his hair stand on end instantly.
He turned his head abruptly to look at Li Qiulan in shock.
Coincidentally, Li Qiulan also looked up, still smiling at him.
That honey-coated smile, in Shen Tangqing’s eyes, was arsenic.
Randomly poisoning an unlucky netizen.
Like himâ
Shen Tangqing’s expression froze, forcibly suppressing the palpitations in his heart.
“Qiuqiu, what do you mean by this?”
“Just the literal meaning, Brother. Isn’t it good to stay here and keep me company?” Li Qiulan’s tone was light, as if talking about an insignificant matter.
“Exams are coming up soon, I can’t stay with you. Besides, if I don’t go home, my mom and the others will look for me if they find out.”
Shen Tangqing finished speaking, his tone carrying a hint of warning.
“You also know, the Jiang family has status in Jing City…”
Li Qiulan’s smile deepened.
“Brother, I will forge proof that you died in a car accident. You can stay here and accompany me forever… Don’t worry, I’ve already arranged it. I guarantee it will be flawless.”
Shen Tangqing felt his cerebellum shrink for a moment.
Is this something a human can do?
But looking at Li Qiulan’s face intertwined with excitement, he didn’t doubt for a second that this person could actually do it.
Silent for a moment, Shen Tangqing spoke coldly.
“Li Qiulan, do you want to imprison me here?”
The smile on Li Qiulan’s face faded due to his cold and alienated tone.
He didn’t like Shen Tangqing calling him by his full name; he liked hearing Shen Tangqing call him Qiuqiu.
“It’s not imprisonment, it’s love.”
Li Qiulan finished speaking and suddenly leaned close to Shen Tangqing.
The two looked into each other’s eyes.
Li Qiulan spoke slowly.
“I love you.”
