The world before her was pitch-black.
Yang Lu's heart was pounding.
She had only gone out for a meal and got knocked out on her way back, after which she seemed to be stuffed into a car. The unpleasant smell of gasoline still lingered on her body.
Who was trying to harm her?
The first person that came to mind was that person, but what she heard was a male voice.
"Miss Yang, Master Zheng."

Was that Siyou?
Yang Lu couldn't help but tear up. There was a sobbing quality to her voice when she asked, "Siyou, is that you?"
"It's me, Lulu, don't be afraid!"
The other party was just as excitable, and the loud sound of a chair dragging on the floor came from his direction. This somewhat calmed down Yang Lu's panicky mood. At least she wasn't alone.
However, Fu Xi's next words scared her.
"There'll be time in the future to reminisce. Right now I just want to ask you one question. Whose idea was it to find someone to ruin Linlang?" Fu Xi's voice was relaxed, causing them to tremble.
The formerly worked up pair immediately fell silent because they now knew that the person had gone through a lot of trouble to tie them here. It was obvious they wouldn't be released so easily.
"Not saying anything? That's fine. All associators will be guilty."
Fu Xi stared at the monitor.Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com
A man and woman were blindfolded and tied to stools. They wore an expression of fear that made him think of fishes dying on parched land.
That night...was his beloved like this, forced to endure a situation she was never supposed to face?
Fu Xi smiled. "I'll grant you two choices."
"One, I give you a joyful heart and let you both die together. A couple will rest under the same tomb. You won't be lonely since you'll have a partner to accompany you to the underworld."
"You actually want to kill us? Aren't you afraid of getting caught? This is a crime!" Yang Lu shrieked in an terrible voice.
"Miss Yang, you're currently a hostage. I advise you to behave and listen to what you're told. The second choice is very simple. One of you should have a taste of the despair Linlang experienced back then. The other person will act as a temporary photographer. When the punishment ends, I'll release you both. What do you think?"
Yang Lu's teeth clattered. "What—what do you mean?"
"Naturally it's to give you a taste of your own medicine. Does Miss Lu understand?"
She sucked in a breath and subconsciously called out, "Siyou!"
The woman's bright eyes fogged with tears but unfortunately, Zheng Siyou was blindfolded and couldn't see.
He was deeply afraid in his heart.
Yes, he liked Yang Lu and was willing to stain his hands with invisible blood for her, but that didn't mean he was willing to endure under a man, especially an insatiable and obese one!
If this matter was ever publicized, he'll never be able to raise his head as a man!
Fu Xi's maneuver was quite ruthless. It served to tear apart the ambiguous affections between the two and make them face the harsh reality. Even if one was to survive today, it would be at the expense of the other person's dignity.

Zheng Siyou didn't respond for a long time.
Yang Lu panicked. Did he want to push her out?
She began to cry miserably as she pleaded, "Fu Xi, you're a magnanimous person, can you let me go? I—I really don't know anything!"
"Then what about my broken cellphone? It was neither too early nor too late. Was that just a coincidence?" Fu Xi looked on indifferently.
"It was...Zheng Siyou! Yes, he's the one who told me to drop it! It had nothing to do with me!" Yang quickly spoke up.
"You—! Yang Lu! Well done, I must have been blind!"
Zheng Siyou desperately reigned in his anger. He did this for her, but he didn't expect that once there was trouble, she gave him the rap! He used to think she was so kind and innocent, but it was all fucking bullshit!
"I will give you an hour to decide on who should take the punishment."
The screen showed their red-faced quarrel.
Dogs who bite one another will be injured in turn.
"Fu Xi, let me go. I-I'll apologize. I'll go kneel in front of her. I'll apologize." Yang Lu's cries were heartbreaking.
"Since you dared to scheme against Linlang, then you should think of this as retribution." Unexpectedly, the man was heartless. To think he pampered Yang Lu not too long ago.
"Have you thought about who will be the hero? Or will you die together?"
Fu Xi felt very gracious for giving them a choice. After all, Linlang didn't even know who played her back then.
Although they were partners who 'lived and died together' in the game, everyone knew that was a virtual world. No one needed to take responsibility for any glib talk of love.
"Since you both want the other to take responsibility, let's do this; whoever breaks off the other person's little finger first will have the right to choose."
"I will only give you one minute."Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com

Fu Xu returned to the golden cage where he hid away his beloved.
That day, he did everything to rouse her sympathy until she agreed to go back home with him.
Linlang was sitting on the sofa. Her crow-black hair was splayed randomly between her arms. She supported her chin with one hand and looked at him with lustrous eyes.
"Fu Xi, did you go looking for a stray cat behind my back?" The two people tacitly covered up the past and only revealed their best sides to one another.
Fu Xi walked over.
She stretched out and wrapped her hands around the man's neck in the manner of an eager child waiting for an answer. "Hurry up and tell me where you went. I couldn't find you when I woke up."
"I went out to relax," he said.
Linlang pointed a spotlessly white finger over his heart.
"Really? You're not lying to me? You didn't go pick up some wildflowers?"
Fu Xi laughed despite himself. "You really have no faith in me. I didn't do anything like that."
As Linlang fell into thought, his hand reached for her ear and stroked the red mole behind it. The low voice he spoke with had a hoarse quality. "He kissed you here, didn't he?"
Within the depths of his pitch-black eyes was a malevolent beast about to rise to the surface.
The woman smiled sweetly, "Why, are you jealous?"
Fu Xi fixed his eyes on her. His expression appeared normal, and no flaw was revealed.
"En, I'm jealous, so jealous that I want to get rid of that guy." He buried his face in her warm neck and murmured, "Linlang, please don't leave me. Stay with me. I'll give you anything you want."
She was quiet and didn't say anything.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became unbearable.
Fu Xi's arms tightened as he gradually fell into despair.
Just when he was about to drop into the abyss, he heard—
"I'll try."
Despite receiving such an ambiguous answer, he still ended up crying.
"...Thank you."
Thank you for still being willing.
