4: Chapter 4: If you let me go, I'll introduce you to my best friend.
Watching Xu Que, who seemed tireless as he grunted and dug holes to plant seeds, Lin Yutong followed behind him, pouting while watering them.
She had set out happily that morning to film an important scene, but now she had been dragged here to act as manual labor, and in a day's time, she would even have to bear his child.
The more Lin Yutong thought about it, the more miserable she felt.
Tears couldn't help but slide down her fair cheeks.
But she didn't cry out loud.
"If you get thirsty, you can drink this water. It can strengthen your body and keep all illnesses at bay," Xu Que said suddenly while digging, without turning his head.
Hmph!
Lin Yutong scoffed internally and raised her leg in a kicking motion toward Xu Que; she wished she could knock him unconscious with one punch and escape this place.
Unfortunately, she didn't have that ability.
Moreover, she had realized that this space seemed like one of those independent small spaces found in novels.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain how the world could change in the blink of an eye!
Thinking of this, Lin Yutong curiously raised her arm, pressed her rosy lips against the rim of the bright red water ladle, and took a small sip.
o.o
O_O
This water... drinking it made her feel refreshed all over. Could it be that it contained spiritual energy, just like those described in TV shows and novels?!
"Gulp... gulp..."
She tilted her head back and swallowed the water from the ladle that was meant for watering the seeds.
"Xu Que, this place..."
"What about this place?" Xu Que turned his head to look at Lin Yutong.
"N-nothing!"
"You'd better hurry up and think about whether you want to be passive or active!"
"Xu Que, how about you let me go, and I'll introduce my best friend to you? Let her help you have children, how about that? By the way, my best friend is named Li Mengchen; you must have heard of her, right?"
"I don't think that's a good idea, so stop overthinking it. I said that if you don't conceive within a month, then the two of us will just perish together!"
"Then... then if the problem is with you, why should I have to perish with you?"
"Heh, just consider it being buried with me!"
"You..."
...
Three hours later.
Next to the mattress, there was a round table with a single sofa placed on each side.
They were all belongings swiped from the apartment and hotel!
At this moment, Xu Que and Lin Yutong were sitting on opposite sides, eating their food in silence.
"Xu Que, what do I do about bathing and... and going to the bathroom here?" Lin Yutong suddenly asked.
"For the bathroom, just go to the side to take care of it. As for bathing, just carry a bucket of water and find any spot!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yutong felt a wave of stifling anger, but she was helpless and could only take her frustration out on the food in her hands.
Time flew by, and night fell within the Spirit Spring Space.
Xu Que was astonished. The Spirit Spring Space actually had nightfall too; he wondered what the principle behind it was.
"Xu Que, didn't you prepare anything for lighting?"
"Just make do with the phone's light for now. I'll go out and take a look later."
As Xu Que spoke, he walked to the mattress, took off his shoes, and lay down. "Lin Yutong, come over and lie beside me. Let's get used to it first."
"I just ate, I don't want to lie down. Let's... let's do it later!"
In the darkness, Lin Yutong's voice rang out, tense and trembling slightly.
"Lin Yutong, just accept your fate. No one can find you here. If you cooperate obediently, I won't hurt you. Once you are pregnant, I might let you leave. However, if you dare to abort the child after you go back, I will kidnap you again and make you pregnant again, so even if you go back, you must give birth to the child properly."
Xu Que's demonic voice kept echoing in Lin Yutong's ears.
Suddenly, Lin Yutong felt her body lighten. She had left the ground.
"Xu Que, let me go... You can't do this... Do you know that this is illegal?"
In Xu Que's arms, Lin Yutong struggled vigorously, pounding on his chest with her little fists, her voice laced with a hint of a sob.
"Thump!" Xu Que threw Lin Yutong onto the mattress.
The soft elasticity caused Lin Yutong's body to bounce up and down twice.
"Wooo-ooo~"
Listening to Lin Yutong's whimpering, Xu Que felt a wave of helplessness.
But for the sake of the system, the Spirit Spring Space, the Triple Physique, the danger warning, all the savings in his hand, and even more so to avoid singing those 'tears behind iron bars', he had to do this!
"Alright, stop crying. You should feel honored to have my first time. My first time isn't something just anyone can get."
"Wooo-ooo... You're experiencing your first time, but isn't this my first time too? Is my first time something just anyone can get easily? You jerk, wooo-ooo..."
"You're over thirty and this is your first time? Who are you trying to fool!"
Hearing Xu Que's words, Lin Yutong momentarily forgot to whimper. She looked at Xu Que and roared, "Who says you can't keep your first time until you're over thirty? If you think I'm old, then let me go and find someone else! Why are you looking for an old hag like me!"
Watching Lin Yutong, who was raging like a tigress, Xu Que said nothing more and silently climbed onto the mattress.
"You're not, are you? Come on then!"
After saying this, Lin Yutong lay down straight, tears flowing silently from her eyes and sliding toward her crystalline earlobes.
Perhaps because it was his first time doing such... immoral things, Xu Que looked at Lin Yutong, who was lying there like a corpse, and lost his interest.
"Fine, I won't force you tonight. You rest first, we'll continue tomorrow!"
As Xu Que spoke, he put on his shoes, took out the mask and hat he had prepared in advance, and put them on.
In the next instant, he disappeared from the Spirit Spring Space.
Hearing no movement beside her, Lin Yutong suspiciously turned on her phone's flashlight and looked around.
There was no sign of Xu Que anywhere!
Could this really be an independent small space?!
But... isn't this something that only appears in novels?
Why would Xu Que have such a space? Could he really be...
...
Outside.
Xu Que's figure reappeared in the same spot where he had disappeared.
The commercial vehicle had already been towed away by the Longxia authorities.
There was very little traffic on this stretch of road, so no cameras had been installed.
But Xu Que stood there, stunned.
It was actually still daytime outside?!
He quickly took out his phone to check the Beijing time; it turned out that only 1/10 of the time in the Spirit Spring Space had passed outside.
In other words, ten days inside the Spirit Spring Space was only one day outside!
Xu Que snapped out of it, quickly ran into the nearby small woods, and found a hidden spot to hide.
There were dozens of text messages from his parents and sister alerting him to missed calls; he needed to call his sister, Xu Yue, back. Additionally, he needed to go online to check information about himself.
Sure enough! Searching for the name 'Xu Que' brought up an A-level arrest warrant issued for him by Longxia Country!
Sigh... Xu Que let out a long sigh. Although he had known this would be the result, it still left him feeling dejected!
He didn't know if doing this was worth it after all!
He only hoped the system wouldn't let him down.
Moreover, he had to speed up the mission; only by obtaining the Triple Physique and the danger warning as soon as possible could he survive better.
Steadying himself, Xu Que quickly dialed his sister Xu Yue's number.
With the current level of technology, his phone might already be tracked, and perhaps the police from Qingluan Film Studio were already on their way; he had to act quickly!
"Little Que Que, where are you now? Are you okay?"
As soon as the call connected, Xu Yue's anxious voice rang out.
"Sis, I called just to tell you that I'm okay, don't worry. Also, there are unavoidable reasons for what I've done; it wasn't what I wanted, but I can't tell you why right now. Also, please take care of and comfort Mom and Dad for me. Time is tight, so I won't say anything more."
After saying this, Xu Que's figure disappeared from the spot again.
Meanwhile, at the Nightless City high-speed railway station, although the call had been disconnected, the sound of the "woo-woo" siren that had just come through the receiver was still echoing in Xu Yue's ears.
Tears from her eyes couldn't help but roll down her jade-white cheeks. "Little Que Que, sister believes in you, please don't let anything happen to you!"
