When Lin Xingzhu finally realized something was off, two days had already passed.
During these two days, Bai Xiying had been particularly clingy, but not in the way she used to be. Bai Xiying wasn't speaking, but everything she did was making it clear that she wanted Lin Xingzhu's attention, to the point where it felt like Lin Xingzhu couldn't take her eyes or heart off her for even a second.
Lin Xingzhu only realized something was wrong because she noticed that she hadn't left the house in two days.
It was normal to stay home for a few days without working or going out, especially when spending time with a girlfriend. But in the past, Lin Xingzhu would still go out to take out the trash, do little errands. This time, however, she hadn't even done that, as if someone had silently cancelled even that small routine for her.
The culprit appeared from the back room, holding a box in her hands.
Lin Xingzhu asked, "What's this?"
Bai Xiying looked down as she unwrapped the box. "A collar."
"A collar?" Lin Xingzhu paused. "You brought this when you came over two days ago?"
Translator's Note~ God I need a collar too xD
Bai Xiying hadn't gone back upstairs in the past two days, and her home didn't have anything like this, so Lin Xingzhu guessed she must've brought it with her that morning.
Bai Xiying nodded. "Yes, what do you think? Does it look good?"
She finished unboxing it and casually tossed the empty box aside, lifting the collar to show Lin Xingzhu.
It was a black leather collar with a silver chain and a bell attached. The long chain had a clasp at the end, looking like it had some kind of deeper meaning.
Bai Xiying fiddled with the chain and bell, making the cold metallic sound as they clinked together.
Lin Xingzhu was quietly examining the collar.
Meanwhile, Bai Xiying lowered her gaze to the long silver chain and the clasp, and for a moment, something like longing flickered in her eyes. But she quickly suppressed it, furrowing her brows as she stared at the long chain. "It's too long. It should be removed."
It might interfere with Lin Xingzhu doing things.
And the bell would make noise, distracting her, so that would need to go as well.
