The ship suddenly exploded violently.
The attack was so fierce that before Zhong Lingyu had time to react, he was already in a raging fire and fainted.
She couldn't remember what happened next.
I only vaguely remember that Shen Huaizhou protected her in his arms...
Zhong Lingyu slept all day and night.
The next morning, she woke up in a bed.
It was dark all around.
Zhong Lingyu saw the sealed windows and the door with a layer of iron bars.
A few rays of sunlight seeped in faintly.
But the room was still dark and depressing.
Zhong Lingyu knew that this was a 'cage' specially made for her by Shen Huaizhou.
He really wants to lock her here.
But she is not in the mood to care about this at the moment.
Because she was not sure whether Shen Huaizhou was safe or not.
The explosion at that time was too sudden. In order to protect her, Shen Huaizhou used his body to block it for her.
Zhong Lingyu got out of bed with bare feet and knocked hard on the door, "Is there anyone there?"
"Miss Lingyu, you're awake." Adjutant Li's voice came from outside.
"Where is Shen Huaizhou?"
"The young marshal is still in the hospital."
Zhong Lingyu asked eagerly: "How is he?"
"Miss Lingyu, don't worry. The young commander is fine. It's just a minor injury. He will be discharged from the hospital in a few days."
Adjutant Li's voice came slowly through the door.
Zhong Lingyu was still worried, "Adjutant Li, can you let me out? I want to see Shen Huaizhou."
"Sorry, Miss Lingyu, I can't let you out without the young commander's instructions."
With that said, Adjutant Li opened the door. He lowered his head and handed some fresh porridge and steamed dumplings through the gap in the fence door. "Let's eat something first."
Zhong Lingyu pleaded: "Adjutant Li, I really just want to see him, I won't run away."
"Miss Lingyu, please don't embarrass us subordinates. I can only open the lock if the young marshal personally orders them to be released." Adjutant Li was very embarrassed.
Zhong Lingyu saw a palm-sized lock left outside the iron gate.
Then, Adjutant Li closed the wooden door, and the room became dark again.
Zhong Lingyu slid along the wall and fell to the ground.
She buried her head in her knees, tears streaming down her face.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and darkness swallows up the last ray of sunlight.
Zhong Lingyu sat on the ground for a whole day.
She didn't drink any water.
When the servant came in to collect the dishes, the food was still sitting there.
She was not on a hunger strike, but was too worried to eat.
If it weren't for her, Shen Huaizhou wouldn't have boarded the ship and been involved in the explosion.
He won't get hurt trying to save her.
Zhong Lingyu felt extremely guilty.
Later, Adjutant Li heard that Zhong Lingyu refused to eat, and came to persuade Zhong Lingyu early the next morning.
Zhong Lingyu smiled weakly, "Adjutant Li, I'm not on a hunger strike."
Adjutant Li thought for a while and said, "Miss Lingyu, if you are worried about the young marshal, you really don't have to worry too much. The young marshal is really fine."
"Then why can't I go see him?" Zhong Lingyu asked.
Adjutant Li lied: "Because... the young marshal said he didn't want to see you."
Zhong Lingyu's throat was slightly choked.
She was silent for a long time, silently picking up a bowl of porridge and drinking it stiffly.
Shen Huaizhou is safe and sound, he just doesn't want to see her...
That's good news.
As long as he's fine.
Big teardrops fell into the porridge bowl with a clatter.
Adjutant Li felt uncomfortable looking at it.
He drove to the hospital.
In a ward on the third floor, Shen Huaizhou was sleeping peacefully on the bed.
Adjutant Li entered quietly, and the movement was so small that it was almost negligible.
But Shen Huaizhou, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes.
His pupils were unfocused and he just stared blankly at the ceiling.
Adjutant Li felt sad. He stepped forward and said, "Young Marshal, everything is fine with Miss Lingyu. It's just that she was worried about you and told me that she wanted to see you. But your eyes suddenly lost sight because of the explosion. I I just thought I wouldn’t let her come for the time being, so I lied to her.”
Shen Huaizhou sat up from the bed.
The quilt slipped off his body, revealing a large bandage soaked with blood.
The whole person's condition looked terrible.
But there was no embarrassment in his eyes, but instead a bit of gloom and narrowness.
Shen Huaizhou sneered, "Why is she worried about me? She just feels guilty. She would rather die than accompany me. But now, in order to save her, I am injured and blind... She will never pay back her life. Please take care of this favor."
He could lock her in the house.
You can also take advantage of her guilt and put an invisible shackles on her.
This way, she will never leave.
Shen Huaizhou covered his eyes and laughed with a deep voice.
Adjutant Li's hair stood on end.
He had been with Shen Huaizhou for many years, but he never thought that he would become so crazy for a woman.
But the more the young marshal does this, the farther and farther the hearts between Miss Lingyu and him will grow.
It's just that the current young commander doesn't look like he can listen to advice.
But Adjutant Li couldn't help but said: "Young Marshal, your injuries will eventually heal, and your eyes are only temporarily blind..."
"I don't care!" Shen Huaizhou interrupted in a deep voice, "My eyes are blind because of Zhong Lingyu, and the injuries on my body are because of Zhong Lingyu. She has to stay with me for the rest of her life."
Adjutant Li did not continue to persuade, but just sighed and said, "Young Marshal, why don't you meet Miss Lingyu, and I will bring her to you."
"She can't leave that house, not even the room." Shen Huaizhou followed Adjutant Li's voice and looked over with empty eyes.
The look in his eyes was terrifying.
Adjutant Li couldn't help but shuddered, "But..."
"Do as I say."
Everything around Shen Huaizhou was gloomy.
The sunlight falling on him seemed to become cold.
Adjutant Li had no choice but to leave.
*
From the day she was imprisoned by Shen Huaizhou, Zhong Lingyu had stayed in the dark room for three full days.
The room was very big, she didn't have to do anything, eat and drink, she just had to give orders to the servants.
Jewelry and delicacies are all available.
She seemed to be locked in a huge iron cage, dark and dark.
Days like this tortured her deeply.
Zhong Lingyu didn't want to be locked up in a place like this.
She wanted to talk to Shen Huaizhou.
But he still hasn't come back.
Zhong Lingyu was lying on the bed, staring blankly at the bright and clear blue sky outside the window, tears rolling down involuntarily.
The soft white pillow was soaked with a large wet mark.
At this time, there was movement outside the door.
It was the sound of a lock being opened.
Zhong Lingyu became even more numb after hearing this voice.
She thought it was a servant coming to deliver the food, so she didn't even look back and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law Fu, I'm not very hungry. Please bring the food down."
Shen Huaizhou was escorted in by Adjutant Li.
He closed the door and said coldly: "On the boat, you said you would die to apologize and asked me to kill you. Now, what are you causing trouble? You don't want to eat and you want to starve to death?"
