A Living Person Had Mysteriously Vanished!... (continued)

The tragic image of a flashlight only emitting a single red dot after being turned on flashed before his eyes, and his lips twitched uncontrollably.

Gu Suian smiled. "Probably not."

Wen Feiran asked curiously, "Do you know what I'm talking about?"

In his mind, Gu Suian should be dressed in a suit and tie, sitting in a low-key yet luxurious office, meticulously handling documents. A soft creature like a kitten, and the act of playing with a cat, were very incongruous with his status.

Gu Suian seemed to sense his thoughts, and said casually and naturally, "I have a kitten."

Upon hearing this, Wen Feiran's eyes nearly turned into lemons, her gaze filled with envy.

He really wanted a cat, but when he first returned to this world, he couldn't even afford to feed himself, so he had to put the idea aside for the time being. As time went by, he had too many things to care about and didn't think about it for a long time.

Now his desire to have a cat is growing stronger, and he'll pick one out from the pet store when he gets back!

Wen Feiran's mood improved, and she stopped worrying about the size of the flashlight. Fortunately, the production team was reliable; although the light was dim, it was their only lifeline in the darkness.

Wen Feiran's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her voice was filled with emotion, "I can finally see the light again!"

A warm yellow light enveloped them, gilding them with a fuzzy golden edge. Wen Feiran looked around and realized why Gu Suian hadn't moved.

His hands and feet were bound by iron chains and he was tied to a wooden chair.

Gu Suian tall and broad-shouldered. The wooden chair was too small for him. His long legs had nowhere to go and could only be spread apart. His hands were tied behind the back of the chair, and he could only make do with this posture, leaning back with his head against the top crossbar of the chair back.

Although he was clearly restrained, Gu Suian's aura was too strong, and his posture was free and relaxed, as if he was just sitting there to rest for a while.

Wen Feiran felt awkward looking away as Gu Suian stared at him from below. His limbs inexplicably went weak. He slowly walked to the back, hiding where Gu Suian couldn't see him, and said, "Teacher Gu, I'll try to help you untie it."

Although the production team wasn't entirely inhumane, in pursuit of realism, they actually used real iron chains to bind Gu Suian's hands, with a keyhole at the top.

Wen Fei wanted to find the key, but Gu Suian stopped him, "As long as the Skill Card is still active, this chain cannot be opened unless there are other additional conditions."

Wen Feiran pursed her lips and said dryly, "Teacher Gu, you know about Skill Cards too?"

Gu Suian didn't think his question was stupid, and patiently answered, "I was just locked in the room, I wasn't deprived of my hearing, I heard everything."

Their actions were tantamount to self-destruction; they were also openly plotting in front of Gu Suian. He found it hard to imagine that the villainous camp could continue playing the game.

Wen Feiran suddenly felt embarrassed to face Gu Suian anymore, and squatted behind the wooden chair, hesitating to make a move.

A few seconds later, Gu Suian's deep, magnetic voice flowed gently in the quiet space, "I'm a little thirsty, can I have some water?"

Wen Feiran immediately snapped out of her daze and quickly got water for Gu Suian. The fans' hearts were also stirring, and they couldn't help but curse the production team in their hearts.

He carefully unscrewed the bottle cap, handed over the water, and only then did he notice that Gu Suian was staring intently at him.

Yes, Gu Suian's hands are still tied.

Wen Feiran was in a dilemma. He secretly wanted Gu Suian to drink water, but he didn't have the opportunity right now. Did he have to feed Gu Suian?

A minute later, Wen Feiran stood before Gu Suian, her limbs trembling, her eyelashes fluttering, unable to meet his gaze.

"Teacher Gu, I'll go slower," Wen Feiran felt that her words sounded strange, so she added, "I won't make you choke."

Gu Suian hummed in response, his expression unreadable.

Wen Feiran slowly raised her arm, and clear water poured out of the bottle. The splashing water droplets were crystal clear under the flashlight beam, sparkling like diamonds.

Gu Suian's mouth was slightly open, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. The room was extremely quiet, with only the clear sound of water and the barely perceptible swallowing sounds echoing within.

Worried that Gu Suian would choke, and having nowhere else to look, Wen Feiran's gaze fell on Gu Suian's lips.

Gu Suian's lips were thin, but his cupid's bow was very prominent, and the curve of his lip peaks was also very full. His lip color was light, and when water droplets splashed on them, they shimmered with a layer of moist luster. In his mind, Gu Suian had always been the epitome of composure, maturity, and aloofness, but now he looked like a siren, sexy and alluring.

Wen Feiran's tongue went dry, her Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and she stared intently at him as if bewitched. After a few seconds, she looked away as if she had been electrocuted.

He stopped staring at her lips like a pervert, but unexpectedly met Gu Suian's gaze.

Gu Suian's gaze was undisguised, direct and naked, taking in his entire reaction.

Wen Feiran felt guilty, like she'd been caught doing something wrong. Her hand trembled, and even more water gushed from the bottle, splashing onto Gu Suian's nose and chin, wetting a small corner of his shirt collar and leaving a dark mark.

An emotion that Wen Feiran couldn't quite discern surged in the atmosphere, making the air thick and sticky, enveloping him like honey. Wen Feiran lost his normal breathing rhythm, his head spun, and he stared blankly at Gu Suian.

Their eyes met. Gu Suian's eyes were deep and dark, like a black hole, enveloping his soul. He was no longer refined and scholarly, but filled with possessiveness and aggression.

For a moment, Wen Feiran thought he had misread it. He blinked rapidly, and when he looked again, Gu Suian's eyes held emotions he couldn't understand, as if everything that had just happened was merely a hallucination.
