Chapter 49, The Third Story (9)
Qin Chu narrowed his eyes.
He struggled slightly and discovered that his wrists were tied together. The knot was cleverly tied, with each wrist looped around the other, and then pulled hard when he wasn't looking, binding his hands behind his back.
The person who had previously buried their face in the pillow, sounding like they were about to cry, was now propped up and smiling at him.
The rope wasn't particularly strong, and the attack wasn't particularly dangerous. It didn't seem like they wanted to kill him, and it didn't reach the level that would make Qin Chu feel threatened or on guard.
Qin Chu was confused. He frowned and stared at Qi Xuan, asking sincerely, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Qi Xuan: "..." Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?
Facing Qin Chu's calm, clear, and puzzled gaze, Qi Xuan felt a strange, familiar sense of powerlessness, making him want to laugh uncontrollably: "But Mr. Lu, you asked me to stay overnight, and now you're asking me what I need?"
Qi Xuan held the bandage in his hand, his forehead pressed against Qin Chu's ear, and a low laugh drifted over.
The gesture was too intimate, causing Qin Chu's already furrowed brows to furrow even more, and he shifted his neck to move aside. After thinking for a moment, assuming that Qi Xuan was still uneasy about his identity, he said, "I am not a member of the Qi family. As I said before, my purpose is to protect you."
Qi Xuan raised his head, looking at Qin Chu with a smile in his eyes. When he heard Qin Chu finish the sentence, he said, "Repeat this sentence again."
Qin Chu raised an eyebrow: "My purpose is to protect you?"
Qi Xuan found the audio enjoyable and wanted to record it on his phone for repeated playback.
Qin Chu quickly added, "I did contact your second brother, but..."
Before Qin Chu could finish speaking, Qi Xuan tugged hard on the rope to stop him, complaining, "Why bring him up? Don't mention anyone else. Watch me."
Qin Chu: "..."
General Qin couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Is he crazy?"
After waiting for a long time without Noah saying a word, an electronic voice announced: "Privacy mode is now enabled. You may choose to disable privacy mode or leave a message."
Qin Chu: "..." What the hell is this thing now?
After staring at the bound man for a long time, Qi Xuan leaned close to his ear and asked, "Mr. Lu, do you really not know what I want to do?"
Qin Chu looked at him but didn't reply, his expression still cold and robotic.
Qi Xuan's restlessness had long since subsided, but it was as if a mischievous monkey had jumped out, determined to cause trouble, preferably to make someone angry, curse, or even... cry.
He smirked, holding the square paper bag he'd been holding in his hand, now almost warm, against Qin Chu's lips, and whispered, "I'll tell you once you bite it open."
Qin Chu's eyebrows shot up instantly.
As it turned out, General Qin was just a bit slow-witted, but not stupid.
Through his relentless self-destructive behavior, President Qi successfully earned himself a severe beating.
The next morning, as a mature system, Noah precisely timed the activation of privacy mode. And then... then he saw President Qi tied to the bed.
Noah remained silent for a moment.
To some extent, the current situation was not unexpected. However... he did not expect it to be so intense.
Qin Chu was sitting on the bed adjusting the collar of his shirt.
This was unusual for Qin Chu, as he was never one to linger in bed and was quick and efficient at dressing, so there was no need for him to sit on the bed to get dressed.
This unusual behavior made Noah curious about what had happened the previous night.
But Qin Chu quickly answered Noah's question, asking in a cool tone, "How's the progress of the small task? Is it full? I'll get up if it is."
Noah: "..."
Very well, so sitting on the bed was to fulfill the literal meaning of "sharing a bed and pillows"... It seems that tying President Qi to the bed also serves the same purpose.
Looking at the progress bar, it's 96%.
Qin Chu patiently sat on the bed and racked up points for a while.
He could sit still, but Qi Xuan, who was bound hand and foot, couldn't lie down.
Qi Xuan tapped the bed with his only movable finger: "Hey, is it really that serious? I just kissed you once, and you tied me up all night."
Qin Chu didn't even glance at him, calmly sitting there racking up points.
Qi Xuan's smile vanished: "I'm not kidding, let it go, I need to go to the restroom."
This time, Qin Chu glanced at him, but everything was based on the progress bar, and he had no intention of loosening the restraint at all. He only said coldly, "Hold it in."
Qi Xuan: "..."
Is this a matter of whether or not you want to hold it in?
It's dangerous early in the morning, and they won't let him go to the toilet. What if he embarrasses himself? They didn't even cover him with a corner of the blanket.
Fortunately, before President Qi made a fool of himself, the progress bar finally reached 100% albeit with some difficulty.
Qin Chu then took pity on the man and took the knife to cut the rope. But before his hand even touched the edge of the rope, the bound man protested: "Tsk, throw the knife to me, I'll do it myself."
He muttered under his breath, "I can't take your touch right now."
Qin Chu was happy to have some peace and quiet, so he threw the knife away and turned to leave.
After Qi Xuan dawdled through his personal matters, he came out to find the culprit had finished washing up and was carrying a bottle of water, clearly heading to the gym.
After a tumultuous night, the man remained unchanged, showing not even a hin
