Wolf Imprisoned for 19 Nights

CHAPTER 41

After I leave the medical room, my electronic watch rings twice, Gu Yan is probably looking for me again.

I walk hurriedly towards the ninth floor. My body’s still wet and feels cold, and the snow on my coat has melted even more from the heating of the medical room, dripping down drops of water from the hem of my clothes.

I am shivering from the sheer cold that even my teeth are chattering a little.

In fact, my mood is still in a state of panic. What happened just now still lingers me with palpitations. The uncomfortable feeling of depression and fear are pressing on me like the heavy coat I am currently carrying on my shoulders.

With a chaotic pace, I finally step to Gu Yan’s cell, noticing Gu Yan sitting lazily on the bed and reading a book, my disordered pace subconsciously slows down.

I open the cell door and enter, and the throbbing unease in my heart suddenly subsides.

Gu Yan seems a little surprised when he sees me.

“Are you looking for me?” I inhale a deep breath and ask Gu Yan.

“I—I was confused back then. If you’re not looking for me, I’ll go back first.” I turn around in an attempt to leave, but Gu Yan hooks me from behind.

“Don’t be in such a hurry since you’re already here.” I hear Gu Yan’s deep, low voice whispering in my ears, “Hey, you are cold and wet, did you go out to play in the snow again? Why don’t you change your clothes and come back afterwards? “

I didn’t run off to play in the snow!” I growl in embarrassment, and Gu Yan just laughs.

“Did not run around to play in the snow, then what happened? To make Wolf run here in panic like a small animal eager to seek shelter…” Gu Yan’s tone drops a little.

Me? Seeking refuge? Did I arrive with a look of horror on my face?

Gu Yan’s statement makes my scalp tingle. Remembering that at that time of panic, Gu Yan’s name had echoed in my mind more than once— the idea of “I need Gu Yan” seemed to have surfaced as well.

Is it possible? I can’t believe I’m seeking asylum from Gu Yan!

“…No.” This is more impossible than I care to admit.

“Wolf?”

“I… I mean there’s nothing wrong with me, it’s purely because I’m confused that I came running.”

“…Is that so?” Gu Yan’s voice is full of doubts.

“Yes.”

I deliberately conceal from Gu Yan what happened to the three of us just now. It’s better not to let him know about this matter. Gu Yan had warned me before not to get too close to Josh, and I’m worried that once he finds out I was almost beaten up by Li again because of Josh, he would definitely not let me get away with it.

“Hmph, I’ll believe you for the time being, I hope you’re not lying to me.”

Gu Yan straightens my body, cups my face in his hands, and rains a few casual kisses on me, “You’re freezing, why don’t you take a hot shower here and then come out and stay in bed with me until dinner? Hmm?”

I let Gu Yan kiss and remain silent, anyway, even if I refuse, he will eventually force me to accept his request. After sighing softly, I shrug off my wet outer coat and put it near the heater, then step towards his bathroom.

I eagerly take off my cold inner uniform clothes and rush into the shower to turn on the hot water.

I think my head just got frozen by the low temperature inside the Absolute Wing Hall for a while. To consider seeking Gu Yan’s protection is really weird! A hot shower is all I need and I will find that everything is just an illusion!

Letting the hot water drench my whole body, my chilly body gradually feels warm and relaxed, and my tensioned nerves also relaxed. However, the ideas that I thought were mere illusions have not faded away. In my body, in my blood, it keeps circulating around…

When I surface out of the shower, I glimpse that my inner uniform, which had been folded on the sink earlier, has been taken away. Right now, I only have a bath towel around my bottom and a towel covering my wet hair, and the surrounding coldness made goosebumps creep up my body.

I march back to Gu Yan’s cell in annoyance. The uniform was indeed taken by Gu Yan, and it was placed near the heater alongside my coat.

Gu Yan is laying on the bed lazily and flipping through a book, with one hand propping his face, and the other holding the book and tapping it with his long fingers. I approach and glance at the book, it’s actually a book of piano scores.

“My sister has that one too.” I sit down on the edge of the bed, staring at the familiar colors of the music sheet.

“Really?”

Gu Yan closes the score sheet and puts it aside, then his turquoise eyes stare playfully straight at my half-naked body. I couldn’t bear this kind of behavior before, and I’m still not used to it until now.

“Why do you play the piano? Isn’t your family a martial arts family? That’s strange…” I need to find a topic, partly to divert his attention, but also because I’m quite curious.

“Oh, I didn’t learn it as a child, it was only after I entered the Absolute Wing Hall that I embarked on learning on my own.”

“Why do you want to learn all of a sudden?”

“Because I’m bored.”

“Just because of that?”

“No, it’s probably because I used to listen to it when I was a kid, too.” Gu Yan slightly arches his mouth, his soft smile looking so breathtaking, “Vaguely, in my impression, my mother often played the piano to me when I was young. Perhaps she influenced me to try to see if playing piano is really that much fun? Later, I pondered about it, and after getting the hang of it, I considered it as a good hobby.”

“Same as my sister, she also developed an interest in learning music because of my mother’s piano playing.”

“Oh…” Gu Yan raises his eyebrows and gazes at me with a shallow smile in his eyes.

“What?” I observe him nervously.

“Nothing, I just think that Wolf, your eyes really light up every time you mention your sister. Wolf, although you look very handsome and masculine… But when it comes to things related to your sister, you’re like an enthusiastic little animal, very cute.”

My brows tangle together because of Gu Yan’s words.

“Ahhh, you’re angry?” Gu Yan covers his mouth and laughs gently, reaching out and plopping me down on the bed with him, “Then I think we should stop talking about this.”

“Gu…”

The temperature of Gu Yan’s palm touching my bare skin, compared to the slightly cold indoor air, is frighteningly scorching, burning me with a light shiver.

Underneath Gu Yan, I gaze at his white and beautiful face in a daze, being showered with his light kisses and caresses. The gentle and dazzling smile on his face momentarily makes me a little confused… Thr certain unexplained emotion I feel towards Gu Yan that once frightened and worried me, seems to have broken through the small frame of hatred in my heart and gingerly crept and spread outwards.

****

I put my hands in the pockets of my coat and heave a deep sigh, condensing a white smoke of mist from the cold air before dispersing.

After a few days of snow, the temperature in the Absolute Wing Hall seems to have dropped a bit more. This makes the prisoners to just nestle lazily in their cells even at this time of their free time release. The sports field and other corners of the prison look quieter than usual, so deserted that not even insects could be seen.

Everyone would rather hide in a heated place and gawk around… I can’t help but dawdle as well. The stinging sensation of the cold wind blowing on my face also makes me want to hide where there’s a heater.

I shrink my shoulders and take a quick detour around the corner, ready to go back to the dormitory first, change my snow-soaked coat, and then go to the cell on the ninth floor to find Gu Yan because my electronic watch rang again just now. These days, my electronic watch rings more often than usual. Its frequent beeping sound almost makes me so schizophrenic that I can’t help but set it to silent mode.

It has been a few days since Li found out that Josh and I are very close. I deliberately conceal this matter from Gu Yan, but I’m aware that Gu Yan’s intel is very well-informed. I don’t know how long I can hide it… Gu Yan seems to have noticed that there is indeed something wrong with me that day, which can be seen from the fact that he has become more and more pressing on some people these past few days.

Recently, I’m almost tied to Gu Yan. He would ask me to spend the night at his place, and would not allow me to leave him during breakfast, lunch and other times..

This time, it’s thanks to Xue LuoYi that I can run out alone.

As the heater in Xue LuoYi’s office broke due to his 24-hour use, and not finding anyone else to fix it for him after a while, the fear of cold forced him tow me away from Gu Yan, who is quite gloomy from this matter, and make me repair the heater for him.

However, this makes me complain about Xue LuoYi a little bit. Because Gu Yan is unhappy, the unlucky one to suffer for it must be me, and the culprit, Xue LuoYi, kicks me out as soon as the heater is repaired, as if I didn’t make a contribution to his place.

Sighing softly, I pat the snow off my body.

In the past few days, my heart has been very heavy. The realization of an unknown emotion I feel towards Gu Yan taking root inside me keeps haunting my heart and appearing in my night’s sleep.

──To be honest, I already understand that I have developed a sense of inseparable and unbreakable connection with Gu Yan.

Out of the blue, a ball of snow flies and explodes on my face, interrupting the already disordered thoughts in my head, and the cold, tingling pain on the left side of my cheek makes me flustered for a moment.

I stop in my tracks, and the snowball that hit me cracks along my face and falls into powdery crumbs. The cold but fiery tingling sensation forms a torturous discomfort as I hold onto my cheek.

I turn my head to look in the direction from which the snowball came. A man stands in a snowy corner of the corridor. The man notices me looking at him and treads towards me. As soon as he approaches, his gray hair almost becomes one with the looming obscure sky and snowflakes around us. The man himself seems to be melting into the background, his pale, scowling face has a hint of a slight malicious smile, and his ashen eyes shining with an unkind gleam.

“Yi OuMu?”

I’m still in a state of confusion, and right as the foreboding sense of crisis surges in my heart, a sudden, blunt impact hits my back. Someone pounces on me from behind and traps me using their arms. The unruly person clutches my right hand and suppresses my left hand behind my back.

A few strands of light yellow hair drift across the corner of my eye, and I instantly guess who’s behind me.

“Yo, Gu Yan’s little baby, I finally caught you.” Nuo La’s reverberates in my ears.

I struggle, but I can’t get out. Yi OuMu walks closer and closer to me, and I know I’m now under attack.

──A feeling of uneasiness spreads in my heart all of a sudden, before spreading all over my body.
