Ji Ting couldn't help but take two steps back.
The smile on Shen Tuchuan's face remained the same, "Are you afraid?"
"......A little." Seeing that he was still willing to maintain friendliness, Ji Ting nodded seriously. Who knew that in the very next second, Shen Tuchuan's expression would instantly sink. She groaned in her heart and rushed to make up for herself. "Actually I, I'm not too scared. You won't hurt me right?"
As she talked, she couldn't help but look towards the hammer. Shen Tuchuan followed her gaze and also looked over. Ji Ting was frightened and quickly reached out to grab a corner of his pajamas:
"Well, I didn't get a good night's rest. Let's go back to sleep."
Stop looking at the hammer every so often, it's scaring her.
Shen Tuchuan chuckled, straightened up and took the hammer, stroking the wooden handle affectionately like a lover, "I thought you would obediently obey."
"......Sorry, in the future I will be obedient and listen to you, and I will never go upstairs again." Ji Ting said.
Shen Tuchuan looked at her, and in the next second he grasped the wooden handle with one hand. With a flick of his arm, he smashed the hammer on the sculpture behind him.
The humanoid sculpture was torn apart, the head, arms, and legs smashed onto the ground, making a huge noise. Some of the debris cut Shen Tuchuan's hand, leaving bloody slash marks. Ji Ting shook as if the one smashed in half was her.
"Why, why did you smash it?" Ji Ting's voice began to tremble. Even if she knew that she would be resurrected into another world when she died here, looking at Shen Tuchuan's dead eyes which were like a murderous maniac's almost drove her insane.
Shen Tuchuan stared at her for a while and slowly said, "The real one came back, won't need the fake ones."
Ji Ting felt like she was almost about to pass out. She wanted to grab the collar of the novel's author and growl, let him return her cute and simple child, she did not want this pervert!
"I wanted to clean these up before you found out," Shen Tuchuan seemed oblivious to any pain. He looked at Ji Ting's frightened expression and sighed, "Unfortunately I have done too many things in the past few years and I was unable to deal with all of them at the same time. Plus I was worried that you would be scared, so I could only pack up slowly, but the result was still found by you."
Ji Ting was scared until she was almost crying, "I was just too curious, I won't dare next time!"
As soon as her voice fell, another sculpture was smashed. She froze and sat on the ground, not daring to move. She watched Shen Tuchuan smash all the remaining sculptures. The ceramic shards covered the ground and there was no place to put one's feet.
Shen Tuchuan stood in the mess, quietly watching Ji Ting. He should be tired after this and his breathing made it obvious. The smile in his eyes that he often had during this time was not there.
Ji Ting stared at him blankly, not knowing what to do, but she felt a little more familiar with him.
That's right, Shen Tuchuan's original character was still there. In his bones there was paranoia and darkness. No matter how much things change, it was impossible to transform into a gentleman inside out in only ten years. She was too mindless before so she never found that anything was wrong.
Ji Ting saw this familiar him and felt calmer in her heart. Even though she saw him dragging the wooden handle of the hammer and walking towards her, she was not as afraid as she was earlier. Because he was still him, the same young boy as the injured little beast in her memories.
She actually hadn't discovered that in the ten years since she disappeared, he closed himself off like he had closed off their home, stubbornly leaving it untouched.
"You won't kill me, right?" Ji Ting looked up at him, her eyes full of trust in him.
Shen Tuchuan lowered his eyes, and after a while, he said indifferently, "How could I bear to kill you."
Ji Ting sighed in relief, that kid always disdained to lie. He said no, so he wouldn't. Her brain finally started to work and she tried suggesting, "Then let's clean up all this. We'll treat it like nothing happened, okay? "
"Treat it like nothing happened?" Shen Tuchuan pinched her chin. "Are you sure you aren't running away? Just like ten years ago, after knowing my true heart, you disappeared without a trace."
Ji Ting finally understood why he had concealed his emotions during this time. He simply did not believe her previous explanation and thought she intentionally ran away ten years ago. Afraid that she would run away again, he had been suppressing his true thoughts.
But thinking about it, the time she disappeared was too coincidental. Just when he was about to ask her to be together with him for life, she did not come back after agreeing, who wouldn't think this.
Thinking about this, the expression on Ji Ting's face became even more sincere, "I didn't leave intentionally, I do not know why either, but ten years passed in the blink of an eye. "
After speaking, she paused for a while and added, "Actually, I always had you in my heart. At the time I wasn't able to accompany you for your eighteenth birthday. I'm really sorry."
Shen Tuchuan put down the hammer, squatted in front of her, and stared at her. He chuckled, "Saying this now, is it still meaningful?
"It isn't?" Ji Ting smiled bitterly, "True, regardless of what the reasons were, the fact that I have been away for ten years isn't going to change. For me, all these years, you've really suffered."
Just listening to Li Tuo, she had felt suffocated. Not to mention Shen Tuchuan, who personally experienced it. She didn't expect that by saving him from hating Li Tuo, she would give him a greater hatred of herself.
Ji Ting sighed and stretched her hand out to cradle his face. She looked into his ink black eyes and slowly said, "I'm back, Xiao Chuan, I'm back. No matter what you want, I will give you, as long as you are happy, I will promise you everything."
From the time she had skipped ten years to the present, only now did she feel that she had reopened the task.
Shen Tuchuan looked at her steadily. Even though he quickly tried to cover up the obsession in his eyes, it was still accidentally exposed: "Anything?"
"En."
......
"A luxurious cage will wipe out the canary's yearning for freedom, and a luxurious house will increase people's tolerance for suffering. Both of these things can give people the ultimate enjoyment and make people gradually lose their will to escape."
"It doesn't matter if you want to run away, the cage is strong enough to imprison freedom."
