Ye Xiuchen called her name, his voice was somewhat suppressed, low and hoarse, as if it came from deep underground, making people inexplicably panicked.
Yuluo tried to struggle in fear, but he squeezed harder and closer.
"I told you, don't move."
In the darkness, his dark eyes were so gloomy and terrifying that if he accidentally looked in, he would never be able to find his way out.
"When will you graduate, eh?"
His lips left the corners of her lips and moved closer to her ears. His thin lips intentionally or unintentionally slid across her collarbone that was exposed due to the tug. She was so panicked that she didn't notice the dancing flames in his eyes.
"June, June."
It's March now, and in three months, when she finds a job, she will be free.
"I heard that you went to Nie's for an interview today?"
Yuluo was shocked and looked at the man on her body in disbelief. How did he know?
"Luoluo, don't try to hide it from me. Why do you want to find a job? I can't support you?"
Ye Xiuchen's voice penetrated into her ears, passed through the thin eardrums, and reached her heart. Her heart was beating loudly because of fear.
"Brother, I want to live on my own."
"Really?" His hand carelessly touched her cheek, which was pale due to fear, and gradually moved down to linger on her white neck, "You can't wait to leave me so badly?!"
His voice suddenly became furious, and Yu Luo felt her breathing stagnant. Her whole body had been lifted up by her neck and thrown heavily towards the head of the bed.
Yuluo gasped for air, and her red and swollen feet hit the metal bed head. The pain made her burst into tears immediately. She desperately wanted to jump out of bed and escape, but was cruelly caught by the person behind her.
Ankle, pulled up on the bed again.
"ah--"
Yuluo couldn't bear the pain anymore and cried out. The foot he was holding tightly in his hands was red and swollen. Big tears fell down, and the heartbreaking pain came like an overwhelming sea of water.
Ye Xiuchen's anger quickly subsided because of her tears. He lowered his head and glanced at the red and swollen feet in his hands. He pursed his thin lips tightly, but the strength in his hands quietly relaxed.
He stood up and looked down at the petite woman on the bed.
"Luoluo, don't think about leaving one day, because I won't allow it."
The door closed behind her with a bang. Yuluo bit her lower lip tightly, tears falling down. Why did her brother treat her like this? She felt that she could no longer live in this home or by his side.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Miss."
It's Uncle Li's voice.
Yuluo endured the pain in her feet and got out of bed and opened the door. Uncle Li stood anxiously outside the door.
"Miss, why are you so careless?"
Uncle Li held a bottle of ointment in his hand, and Yu Luo took it gratefully, her tears that had not yet dried were about to fall down again.
"Silly boy, why are you crying?"
"Uncle Li, thank you. How did you know that my foot was injured?"
Yuluo didn't notice a twinkle in Uncle Li's eyes.
"Well, the servant just said that the lady was limping when she went upstairs. I guessed that you injured your foot, so I found a bottle of ointment for you."
"Thank you, Uncle Li."
Yu Luo showed a sweet smile, endured the pain and applied the ointment on her ankle. It was cool and very comfortable.
