Ye Xingguang struggled to climb up to the second-floor balcony, lucky for her, the door was left unlocked. She brushed off the dust from her hands and pushed the door open.
She had found her way into Ye Junqings bedroom through his balcony, but he wasn’t in the room.
Ye Xingguang searched all around the mansion, eventually hearing soft coughing from behind a door on the third floor.
The door to the room was unlocked. With a gentle push from Ye Xingguang, it creaked slowly open.
In spite of all her mental preparations for Ye Junqings ill and frail state, she was caught off guard by the sight that met her within…
Ye Junqing had bound his hands and feet, his towering frame rigidly secured to a bespoke throne in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Bathed in the silver moonlight, his handsome face appeared even whiter, akin to an extreme skin-whitening effect. His thick lashes slightly quivered. At the corners of his lips, tucked tight a sense of forbearance, as if he were holding back something so intense his teeth were on the brink of chattering.
Because the lights were off, a chilling sense of eerie melancholy pervaded the entire room.
At the sound of her footsteps, Ye Junqing suddenly opened his eyes…
Almost unable to believe what he was seeing, Ye Junqings eyes transformed in an instant.
Had his hands and feet not been bound, Ye Xingguang was sure he would have charged at her, ready to throw her straight out of the window. Ye Xingguang unconsciously stepped back. Catching her breath to steady her nerves, she dared to speak.
“What’s wrong? Aren’t you feeling unwell? Why are you doing this to yourself?”
“l tried asking the steward and doctor, they said you have episodes when you drink, and that I should leave you alone. Did you lock yourself up because you’re afraid of losing control?”
“I’m coming closer now. Just don’t hurt me. I don’t really want to interfere, but I can’t help it, it’s in my nature. Alright, here I come.”
Before she had even moved, man’s low voice echoed in the dimly lit room:
“Get out…”
“l already told you that I’m not a ball.”
Ye Xingguang mustered up the courage to approach Ye Junging, placing her hand on his forehead. There was no fever, in fact, his skin felt slightly cold. She thought his deathly pale complexion was not due to alcohol poisoning.
He seemed perfectly lucid, certainly not behaving like a drunk man.
“Don’t misunderstand, I don’t mean to pry, but I am, after all, your official companion. Even if 1 don’t have the right to know completely, I should at least get a slight understanding of your situation. Exactly what’s wrong with you? Are you afraid you might harm others during one of your episodes? Is that why you’ve chained yourself up?”
Ye Junqing never responded, treating her as if she were air, lazily sinking into his sofa, enduring whatever was afflicting him.
In any case, since he had locked himself up, no matter how uncontrollable it gets, he shouldn’t be able to harm this annoying woman!
As for Ye Xingguang, she wasn’t sure what she could do. She wasn’t a doctor, but it was clear he was pale and likely cold, so she went to his room, grabbed his blanket, and draped it over him.
Her actions were meticulous, even proactively tucking the blanket around him.
Then sat beside him on the icy sofas, fretting over what else she could possibly do for him.
Even though Ye Junqing looked sick at that moment, to pity him could mean flirting with death. His icy demeanor was like a chilling northern gale. Even with his hands and feet bound, he still held the demeanor of a king on his throne, commanding respect and submission from all who dared approach..
