She hadn't expected him to respond that way; Shen Ruo choked on her words, feeling completely stuck.
Taking a deep breath, she said calmly, "Gu Kai, please let me go, will you? What's the point in forcing me like this?"
"And what's the point in you resisting me like this?"
"Do you even realize that your actions are those of a bandit! They disgust me, they're so uncomfortable!"
"If you tried to accept me, you wouldn't feel this way. Ruoruo, why won't you give me a chance, why not try to accept me?"
Shen Ruo turned her head and said indifferently, "Did you give me a chance back then? So, could you now give me a chance to let me go?"
"..." Gu Kai fell silent and said no more.
After a while, he stood up and said helplessly, "You should get some rest, I won't disturb you any longer, take some time to cool down."
He walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. Shen Ruo knew that he'd rather keep her there than let her go.
