Su Ling curled up tightly in Ye Moran’s arms. His arms weren’t long enough to wrap around her, so he just grabbed onto one of her arms.
“Holding on so tight, are you that afraid I’ll suddenly leave?”
“No, don’t leave. Don’t leave me…”
Su Ling heard the word “leave” and held on even tighter.
“Hmm?!”
“Loosen up a bit, you’re hurting me.”
Ye Moran frowned. The little guy was holding her so tightly it actually hurt!
Su Ling froze for a moment before slowly loosening his grip slightly…
But as soon as he let go even that much, his body began to tremble.
“Are you afraid? Of what?”
Ye Moran looked at the little guy’s trembling body, completely unable to understand what he was so afraid of.
Was he afraid she would leave?
But she didn’t have any intention of leaving at all?
What exactly was he afraid of?
Moreover, the little guy’s state seemed a bit off?
She felt a strange sense of unease and couldn’t help reaching for her phone to dial that number, but they were Deep Underground, and there was no signal at all!
Seeing how Su Ling could not bear to be away from her, Ye Moran let out a soft sigh!
She stood up. Under the little guy’s nervous gaze, she poured a cup of water. With her back turned to him, she took out a Sleeping Pill, broke it in half, and put one half inside!
The pill slowly dissolved in the water, making the originally clear liquid look a bit cloudy!
“Drink it.”
Su Ling didn’t hesitate for a moment. Even though he saw that Elder Sister seemed to have put something in the water, he still drank it without hesitation!
After finishing, he looked at Elder Sister with wide, expectant eyes.
Helpless, Ye Moran could only climb back onto the bed and offer one of her arms to him!
The little guy seemed very clingy now, which made her feel both happy and a bit helpless.
At the same time, her heart was full of worry. The little guy’s state was truly wrong; he gave her an indescribable sense of eeriness!
After a while, Su Ling felt a sense of drowsiness. He tried hard to keep his eyes open, but his eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and his body felt exhausted.
Using the last bit of his strength, he slowly moved closer to Elder Sister’s body until his entire weight was leaning against her.
Only after doing all this did he completely relax and close his eyes!
After confirming that the little guy was asleep, Ye Moran got up, dressed, and headed upstairs.
***
Su Ling slept very comfortably this time, without nightmares or anything at all.
Su Ling blinked his eyes in a daze, staring blankly at the ceiling without blinking.
Elder Sister was gone again…
He wanted to do something, wanted to find Elder Sister, wanted to… so many things. There were many things he wanted to do.
But it was as if he couldn’t control his body. His body told him it was tired and didn’t want to move!
He just wanted to lie there quietly like this, doing nothing at all…
Creak…
Suddenly, the door was slowly pushed open.
Hearing the sound, Su Ling’s body seemed to have been switched on. A trace of vitality returned to his eyes as he sat up in bed, looking toward the door with a dazed expression.
But the person at the door was not the one he was expecting. It was a stranger he had never seen before.
“Who… are you?”
“Me? You don’t recognize me?”
Su Ling shook his head.
“Alright then.”
Lin Qingyu was somewhat disappointed. She thought the little guy would remember her, but she hadn’t expected him to have forgotten her long ago.
She shrugged helplessly, approached the little guy, and sat down beside him.
“Since you don’t remember me, let me reintroduce myself. Um… I’m your Elder Sister’s friend. She asked me to come and see you today.”
“My name is Lin Qingyu. What is yours?”
“I… My name is Su Ling…”
“Su Ling?”
Lin Qingyu’s mouth twitched. That girl Ye Moran actually even changed Ye Jin’s name. It was really…
However, none of this seemed worth being surprised about. After all, when she first learned that Ye Jin was being kept in such a place that never saw the light of day, she was far more shocked than she was now!
At that time, she had almost called Ye Moran a lunatic!
“Since we know each other’s names now, can we be friends?”
“Friends?”
“That’s right. Since we know each other’s names, what else could we be but friends?”
“Friends…”
Su Ling slowly lowered his head. He remembered having many friends in the past, but those friends had all abandoned him later…
“Then we are friends now. As a friend, can I ask you a few questions?”
Su Ling opened his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing and just nodded gently.
“Can you tell me why you’re here?”
“I made Elder Sister angry. Elder Sister is punishing me by making me stay here.”
“Then do you like it here?”
“I… like it…”
“Do you really like it?”
“I…”
“If you don’t like it, it’s okay to say so. No one will do anything to you?”
“I… I don’t know… don’t ask anymore, okay? Please don’t ask…”
Su Ling shook his head in pain. He clutched his head and curled himself into his knees, as if trying to separate himself from everything around him!
Watching this, Lin Qingyu’s frown deepened.
She didn’t continue.
“Then get some rest. I’ll come see you again in a while!”
After saying that, she turned and headed upstairs.
When she reached the Study, she saw Ye Moran sitting at the desk, staring unblinkingly at the Monitor Screen.
She frowned, walked over, and slammed the laptop shut!
“Stop watching!”
“Let go!”
Lin Qingyu took a deep breath.
“Do you have any idea that Ye Jin is in a very problematic state right now?”
“What problem?”
“He could be driven insane by you at any moment!”
“Impossible!”
Ye Moran retorted. She had only locked the little guy up; how big of a problem could that be?
“Impossible? Think carefully about everything you’ve done to Ye Jin!”
“Forcing his friends to stay away from him, finding people at school to engage in Bullying against him, and then appearing just in time to play the good samaritan and comfort him.”
“Designing a scheme to frame Jiang Yu and then pinning it all on the little guy, causing the Ye Family to abandon him!”
“And now you’re even imprisoning him, keeping him locked up!”
“He has been pampered and protected by all of you since he was a child. Now that he’s suddenly suffering through all this, how long do you think he can hold out?”
“I’m warning you, it’s best to let him out as soon as possible. At the very least, don’t lock him in a place like that. Otherwise, you’ll regret it!”
After saying her piece, Lin Qingyu turned and left. This was the last bit of help she could give the little guy!
“Wait, you didn’t perform Hypnosis on him?”
“Hypnosis my ass!”
Lin Qingyu felt that this woman had truly gone crazy. Ye Jin was already like that, yet she still wanted her to perform Hypnosis on him?!
As expected, a lunatic’s way of thinking was different from a normal person’s.
Ye Moran’s brow remained furrowed. She carefully recalled everything she had done to the little guy. All of it was just so she could keep him by her side!
Did those things really hurt the little guy?
But those people in the Ye Family weren’t good people at all. She made the little guy leave that place to protect him!
And those so-called friends of the little guy were just a bunch of trash who lusted after his body. What was wrong with cleaning out the trash?
As for framing the little guy—as she said, it was only to make the little guy escape that devil’s den of the Ye Family!
Everything she did was for the little guy’s own good. Why couldn’t she be understood?
