Chapter 17: Humiliating Chocolate
Xiao Mumu woke up in a daze and found that the chains on her body had disappeared.
“What’s going on?”
She quickly got up, trembling, tore off the tape sealing her mouth, took out the wad of paper, and walked to the door of the storage room, wanting to reach out and open it.
She twisted the doorknob, but the door remained unmoved.
“It seems it’s locked......”
Xiao Mumu slumped to the ground, hugged herself, and began to cry.
She didn’t understand why Su Qinghan wanted to torture her like this; it would be better to let her go or kill her directly, but she chose the most painful way.
Time passed bit by bit, and her stomach, which hadn’t eaten for a long time, began to protest.
Suddenly, the door opened; Xiao Mumu looked up and saw a somewhat tired Su Qinghan staring at her.
She stretched out her hand, approaching Xiao Mumu; the latter closed her eyes, shrank her head back, and her body began to tremble instinctively.
“I’m really too weak, I only know how to bully... woo...”
After a long time, no pain came; she mustered her courage, lifted her head, and glanced at Su Qinghan.
She then found that a carton of milk had appeared in her hand at some point.
“Drink it,” Su Qinghan said coldly.
This commanding tone made Xiao Mumu not dare to refuse.
She stretched out her scrawny little hand and took the milk from Su Qinghan’s hand.
After inserting the straw, Xiao Mumu began to drink slowly; the sweet and mellow milk moistened the cracked earth, bringing relief to her weak body.
Su Qinghan left the storage room, walked to the bedroom, picked up a blanket and bedding, and returned to the storage room.
She threw these at Xiao Mumu’s feet and said to her: “You’ll sleep here tonight.”
After speaking, she left the storage room and locked the door again.
Xiao Mumu put the half-finished milk in the corner, planning to drink it slowly, got up, and began to make her little den.
A moment later, she lay on the somewhat hard blanket, covered with a quilt. Although the storage room was very cold, at least she had something to cover herself with, so she wouldn't catch a cold and get sick.
Xiao Mumu recalled the recent experience and found that Su Qinghan hadn’t hit her.
“What’s wrong with her? Why does she seem a bit dispirited......”
She shook her head: “I’m not going to think about that hateful, vicious, despicable woman!”
Slowly, Xiao Mumu felt a long-lost warmth and began to yawn involuntarily.
“Mmm... a bit sleepy.”
Stretching, Xiao Mumu curled her entire body into the quilt, like a cat, coiling her body into a ball.
Feeling the warmth of her body, she gradually drifted off to sleep.
Meanwhile, Su Qinghan, having finished her bath, sat on the sofa, gulping down “Coke” from her hand.
It seemed only the stimulation of carbonated drinks could make her feel a little better inside.
A long time later, after finishing a bottle of “Coke,” she lay on the sofa, thinking about her experience in Building Seven.
“The fragrance emitted by that mutated plant can actually confuse people.
Besides Zhang Wei, whom I saw with my own eyes, the other four should also have been confused and then digested. Fortunately, it had just advanced to the second tier, and its strength wasn’t too strong.
Otherwise, I would definitely have been confused by a more realistic environment. The others were unlucky; Zhang Wei had the potential to awaken abilities, his spiritual power was stronger than ordinary people, he wasn't directly controlled, at least his consciousness was clear.
The others were directly controlled and died in a muddle-headed way.”
Su Qinghan didn’t deliberately control the feeling brought by the “Coke”; her head began to feel dizzy, and a tear flowed from the corner of her eye.
“Little Lan, although I know you’re an illusion, when I first saw you, I almost believed it was true, thought you had really come back to my side......”
Su Qinghan muttered, her head getting dizzier, seeing double of everything.
She wanted to stand up, but instead, she fell headfirst onto the sofa and fell asleep.
***
Early the next morning, Xiao Mumu crawled out from under the quilt.
She stood up and stretched, full of energy.
“That was such a comfortable sleep~”
Grumble grumble~
Xiao Mumu touched her somewhat empty stomach, her mood sinking a little again.
“My stomach is so hungry......“
Xiao Mumu looked at the corner, picked up the milk she hadn’t finished yesterday, and was happily drinking it when Su Qinghan pushed the door open.
She looked at Su Qinghan, who had a smiling face, and her heart was instantly filled with fear.
“Crawl over here.” Su Qinghan’s words, carrying absolute authority, fell into her ears.
Xiao Mumu put down the milk carton, and just as she lifted her foot to walk towards Su Qinghan, the latter spoke: “No, crawl over here.”
Xiao Mumu lifted her eyes to look at Su Qinghan, daring to be angry but not daring to speak, slowly bent down, supported herself on all fours, and slowly crawled towards Su Qinghan’s feet.
“Now you’re being quite obedient, aren’t you? It seems that when they’re disobedient, locking them up and starving them for a few days works, teaches them a lesson!” Su Qinghan smiled and patted Xiao Mumu’s head.
The latter only felt humiliation, having completely become Su Qinghan’s pet.
Su Qinghan hooked her finger on the collar around Xiao Mumu’s neck, and Xiao Mumu was led by her to the sofa, kneeling on the floor.
Xiao Mumu looked in disbelief as Su Qinghan’s empty hand conjured a bag of potato chips and began to eat them.
“This is...... an ability! Just like in the novels!” Xiao Mumu became even more terrified of Su Qinghan.
A gurgling sound came from Xiao Mumu’s stomach again; she lowered her head, not looking at Su Qinghan.
Just then, with only a tearing sound, the sound of a packaging bag being torn open reached her ears, followed by a small, dark thing appearing before her eyes.
Xiao Mumu’s nose twitched; she smelled the fragrance emanating from that thing.
“Chocolate!”
“Want to eat it?” Su Qinghan let out a light laugh, the smile on her face was so...... it made Xiao Mumu shiver all over.
After struggling internally for a long time, she still nodded and said weakly: “Want... to eat...”
Su Qinghan heard Xiao Mumu’s reply, held the chocolate tightly in her hand, and slowly rubbed it.
After about twenty seconds, the chocolate melted, covering Su Qinghan’s palm.
She extended her palm to Xiao Mumu’s mouth and said to her: “Alright, come and eat!”
Xiao Mumu looked at the melted chocolate, feeling aggrieved in her heart: “Can’t you just let me eat it properly? Do you have to humiliate me like this......”
Between eating and not eating, Xiao Mumu only thought for three seconds before choosing the former; after all, the feeling of an empty stomach was really unbearable, and besides, this was chocolate, high in calories.
Xiao Mumu stretched out both hands, held Su Qinghan’s wrist, closed her eyes, and began to lick the chocolate.
The rich, fragrant chocolate was eaten by Xiao Mumu; that silky smooth feeling made her completely fall in love with the chocolate she had eaten countless times before but had always found ordinary.
Sweet with a hint of fresh fragrance, it seemed to be Su Qinghan’s scent.
“Delicious!“
Xiao Mumu gradually became engrossed in it, licking even more vigorously, completely finishing the chocolate on Su Qinghan’s hand, but she still wasn't satisfied and continued licking.
It wasn't until Su Qinghan, with a smile on her face, gently hooked her finger at the corner of her mouth and slowly retracted her hand that Xiao Mumu reacted.
She blushed and lowered her head shyly.
