77 THROW YOU OVER MY SHOULDER (2/2)

And if everything she remembered was real and she could trust her thoughts, how could her flawed self be near this wonderful person? He had literally travelled to the end of the world to find her and all he had found was a broken shell of a human.

Zhong Feng looked at the glazed look in those glowing yellow eyes and sighed. It seemed that there was a long road ahead. But he did not feel frustrated. He anticipated every moment that he would spend with this person he had claimed as his.

”If you do not come in voluntarily, I will have to throw you over my shoulder.” He threatened with a smile that did not seem like a smile.

Something seemed to shift in Hu Lei's muddled mind when she saw that expression. Her heart rate increased in a strange form of excited fear, though she was not afraid. It was like the terror that a ticklish person felt when you threatened to tickle them.

This feeling confused her even more. She did not know why he stirred up things in her mind and heart. Still, she nodded and followed him into the beautiful mansion set in the middle of lush woods.

Zhong Feng felt a sense of accomplishment. He had been hoping that the threat would work because he would naturally not want to handle his little person crudely. He led her to the house though she still looked reluctant to come in.

He understood this reluctance. If anyone had been locked underground for so long, they would not be willing to return to confinement. For her, any building had to feel like a prison. He felt his heart ache for her, but he knew that it would take time for her to feel comfortable in closed spaces.

Even if she never did, he would always be there to comfort her.

The mansion in the woods was a special place he had designed for her while waiting for her return. Everything was completely automated with smart technology as per his proprietary design. When they stood before the entrance for a moment, the doors opened without any action. This front door combined various access control methods, including facial recognition and retinal scan as well as stature, gait and personal device detection for ideal security.

This level of security was essential because the mansion did not have any guards or other personnel. Zhong Feng did not plan on changing this. The house was also completely isolated at the middle of otherwise untouched woods, so precautions were necessary.

Hu Lei looked around the house in amazement as she walked in. Perhaps it was because she had literally only seen the colour white in the last few years, but the place looked beautiful and perfect. From the turquoise walls and hardwood floors, to the colourful painting and the comfortable furniture, she felt that this is what a home should look like.

However, something in the back of her mind seemed to remind her that this man had always thrived in simplicity. Yet, why was everything like this? Was it for her? She did not want to think of it like this. Her throat felt clogged up, and her eyes stung as she felt the urge to cry.

But she did not want to shed tears because she felt that this illusion would break, and she would find herself manacled in a cold basement. So, she would do what she had done for the whole time that she had been a captive. She would calm down and think.
