“Mmn…”
“Oh my, Xiao Rou still hurts, does she? Then…”
Luo Yun knelt on the ground and placed He Rou’s head on her lap.
“Like this… Xiao Rou, be good.”
Luo Yun’s face was full of smiles.
During the three years she had been away from He Rou, she had been learning how to properly care for a pet.
After all, if they don’t obey and you just hit them randomly, they die easily.
She didn’t want the pet she had raised for so many years to die, especially since it carried her mother’s life within it.
Whenever she thought of that,
she didn’t know why, but the desire to constantly torment He Rou suddenly reached its peak.
So these past few days had been very tiring for her.
Aside from forcing herself not to “look” at He Rou every day, she also had to learn to take care of herself alone.
“Xiao Rou… you must be very hungry.”
“Mm…”
“That’s wrong, that’s not how you say it. Xiao Rou, do you want me to help you learn how a little doggy barks, hmm?”
Luo Yun’s tone had been gentle ever since she entered the room.
This extreme contrast made He Rou feel a fear that rose from the ground up.
It felt like if she let her guard down even a little, she would die, and before dying, she would suffer terribly.
“Woof… woof…”
Her strength was almost gone.
Having not eaten for three days, her throat produced an extremely unpleasant sound.
The sound annoyed Luo Yun, but then she thought it was her own doing, so she refrained from punishment.
He Rou felt a bit cold now.
The weather had dropped recently, but this room was unaffected—except for the door that hadn’t been closed, which was quietly letting in cold air.
The draft was very slight, but He Rou was naked.
Suddenly…
“Achoo—”
He Rou sneezed.
That sneeze nearly killed her; all her wounds screamed in pain at the sound.
“Xiao Rou… good girl, good girl.”
The bottle of milk in Luo Yun’s hand was brought directly to her lips after the sneeze.
“No big gulps. Like a little doggy, slowly let out the sound, okay?”
“…”
The sudden milk made the blood vessels in He Rou’s body rush to her brain like a highway.
The taste of milk filled her mouth.
Her long-deprived body received nourishment.
One bottle of milk was finished quickly.
But He Rou was not satisfied.
After the bottle was empty, her mouth kept sucking air.
The comical sight amused Luo Yun.
“Xiao Rou is so silly… there’s nothing left.”
As she spoke, she pulled the bottle out.
She set it aside.
‘Still… so thirsty.’
He Rou’s mind kept craving more.
The bottle’s capacity was only enough to feed an infant.
He Rou was an adult, so it was just a drop in the bucket.
“Xiao Rou must be full now… then, get up.”
After saying this, Luo Yun stood up.
He Rou, who had been lying on her thighs, hit her head on the ground from the sudden movement.
“Mmn…”
“Ah? Sorry, Xiao Rou, does it hurt…”
Luo Yun’s face was full of a smile as she looked down at He Rou like a beggar.
“If it doesn’t hurt, hmm… I’ll give Xiao Rou five seconds to get up.”
“Five…”
“!”
“Four”
“I… I have to get up…”
“Three”
“No, it hurts… it hurts so much!”
“Two”
“Just… just like this. It hurts too much, I can’t get up at all.”
“One…”
“I’m… I’m sorry, Master.”
“Wow, Xiao Rou can actually talk. Then, I’ll give you a little reward.”
Then Luo Yun took out a bag of pet food that had come in with the bottle.
This time she didn’t just dump it on the ground; she precisely stuffed it into He Rou’s mouth.
“Eat it all, okay~”
Luo Yun watched the gradually filling mouth, and her inner mockery was satisfied.
Once it was completely full, she stopped and placed her hand on He Rou’s chin.
“Mmph… mmph…”
He Rou felt the salty, fragrant, and fishy taste filling her mouth.
Under normal circumstances, it would be disgusting, but she hadn’t eaten for so long.
She couldn’t refuse this sudden reward.
Just as she was controlling her cheeks and chewing big mouthfuls…
“I didn’t let Xiao Rou bite. You can only swallow.”
Luo Yun pinched her chin and pulled downward hard.
“Mmph…”
A large amount of granular matter clogged her throat.
Even with all the saliva she could produce, she couldn’t force it down.
He Rou felt a dryness in her mouth and an almost uncontrollable urge to cough.
“Cough—cough—”
She couldn’t hold it in.
The dog food stuck in her mouth was all coughed out.
Not only did it spray all over Luo Yun, but it also scattered slimy dog food everywhere.
“He Rou…”
Luo Yun’s tone changed, and she used her full name.
She casually picked up a piece of dog food from beside her.
She shoved it into He Rou’s throat again.
And when it reached the opening, her pinching fingers turned into one finger pushing.
Jamming it in hard.
“Eat…” “Eat it all…”
“Wuh—mm…”
After forcing one piece in, Luo Yun grabbed another and continued.
Then three… four…
Until He Rou couldn’t take it anymore.
A strong wave of nausea surged up.
The dog food that had been forced in came back up mixed with stomach acid.
Luo Yun, who had been relentlessly pushing more in, felt a thrill at the sight.
At that moment, she wanted more, even more…
Then Luo Yun stood up, reached out, grabbed He Rou’s long hair, and dragged her over to the long iron chain.
After she let go of the terribly heavy iron lump, the uncontrollable thoughts in her heart grew stronger, more… out of control.
“He… He Rou…”
Luo Yun called out He Rou’s full name.
But before she could react, the iron chain coiled around her neck like a rope.
Instantly, a feeling of being crushed, difficulty breathing, and insufficient blood to the brain all flooded in.
Agony… sheer agony.
“Gyaaahh…”
He Rou couldn’t scream.
Her body sensed she was about to die.
Her hands, which had been obedient all along, came up and grabbed Luo Yun’s, but they didn’t pull or push.
Punishment from the heart and the fear of death—the two were like opposing magnets.
They could never come together.
At that moment, two conflicting commands fought in her mind.
Soon, the suffocating He Rou’s eyes slowly rolled up, her face gradually turned purple.
Her mouth opened wide, her tongue half-hidden, half-protruding from her lips.
Below, countless large and small dams all released their floodwaters.
Now, He Rou was utterly pathetic.
Only when Luo Yun’s heart was satisfied to the extreme did her emotions return to normal.
Only then did she let go of the nearly dead He Rou.
