Chapter 108 How about marrying him to you?
Lin Suiren is numb.
Writing a self-criticism is one thing, but why can't I leave this room?
Imprisonment play?
Lin Sui wiped her face and forced a emotionless smile: "Are you serious?"
“Of course.” Yu Cinian’s eyes curved into a smile. “The squad leader is too disobedient. How can he learn to behave if he isn’t properly disciplined?”
Lin Sui: "...Are you sure you didn't pick up the wrong script?"
"What kind of script does Miss Lin want?" Lu Xiang knelt on the bed with one leg, reached out and lifted her chin, asking with a charming smile, "Should I chain you up, or hang you up and whip you until you behave?"
As she spoke, she lightly flicked the whip in her other hand, the sharp barbs on it reflecting a cold glint...
Lin Sui decisively picked up a pen: "I'll write a self-criticism, I'll write it now."
She was told to write a self-criticism, but she was someone who had never even attended school for more than a few days, so she really didn't know how to write one.
I keep writing the same old things: I was wrong, I shouldn't have kept it from you, I shouldn't have gone out to play alone without you, I shouldn't have drugged you, I shouldn't have made you so humiliated, and I shouldn't have ruined your strong image in the hearts of your fans.
As she wrote, she muttered to herself, making the veins on the foreheads of the four people next to her throb.
"Bang!" Li Ye slammed his hand on the table, unable to contain himself any longer. "Wrong."
Lin Sui paused, tilted her head back, and blinked: "What did you do wrong?"
Li Ye: "..."
Sixing Gas laughed: "You're wrong!"
He picked up the thin piece of paper and slapped it hard on Lin Sui's face, demanding, "You call yourself a master? What kind of utter nonsense have you written? Is this a question of whether or not to drug someone, huh?"
"What's the problem?" Lin Sui asked humbly.
These words made the group's faces darken even more.
“It seems the squad leader still hasn’t realized her mistake.” Yu Ci smiled, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes. “Then let her reflect on her actions here for a while.”
Lin Sui: “…”
As they left one by one and locked the door from the outside, Lin Sui realized they weren't joking.
After a two-second silence, she lay down.
Sure, I've been pretty tired lately anyway, so it's good to get some rest.
The bed was exceptionally soft, like lying on a cloud, and it had a fresh and pleasant scent.
Lin Sui couldn't help but pull up his collar and smell it.
She hasn't changed her clothes; won't she get the bed dirty?
Oh well, whatever, it's not her bed anyway.
Within seconds, Lin Sui accepted her disheveled appearance with a clear conscience, and within a few more seconds, she began to feel drowsy.
Unfortunately, she couldn't get a nap as the tightly closed door opened again.
Lin Sui assumed that the villains had returned, so he lazily continued to lie there.
But then an old voice chuckled and said, "As expected of Master Lin, you remain calm and composed no matter what you encounter. Not bad, not bad."
Lin Sui was startled and tilted her head to look, only to meet a pair of kind, bright, and intelligent eyes.
It was an old man with white hair wearing a kung fu shirt and waving a palm-leaf fan.
Behind him followed a tall, middle-aged man with regular features.
Lin Sui slowly sat up, his gaze unintentionally sweeping over the old man's face, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.
Nevertheless, the old man still discovered it.
He still smiled and asked, "What did Master Lin see?"
“You know you…” Lin Sui pursed her lips and hesitated before speaking.
Having held office for many years, the old woman was incredibly perceptive. Before she could finish speaking, she waved her palm-leaf fan and interrupted, "Hey, at this age, who doesn't have some minor or major illnesses?"
Seeing that he understood, Lin Sui said no more.
After the middle-aged man brought over a chair, the old man sat down and instructed, "You stay outside and keep watch. Don't let those rascals or that girl from the Lu family come and bother us."
"Yes."
Soon, only an old man and a young boy remained in the small, dark room, silently gazing at each other.
"Master Lin, have you figured out who I am?" The old man finally spoke first.
Lin Sui: "Yu Cinian's grandfather."
At the same time, she was also a little surprised, not expecting that she would end up sleeping in the Yu family's house.
"That's right." Old Master Yu's eyes crinkled with a smile. "Many years have passed, but Master Lin's demeanor remains as impressive as ever, still as amazing as ever."
Lin Sui: "...You don't need to be so polite, just call me Lin Sui."
"Okay, then I'll call you Sui Sui."
Grandpa Yu was very good at seizing opportunities. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Then, Sui Sui, do you remember, you and Anian..."
Lin Sui knew what he wanted to ask.
In fact, if she hadn't met him, and apart from his white hair and more wrinkles, he had hardly changed, Lin Sui might never have remembered that she had actually met Yu Cinian when she was a child.
When she was seven or eight years old, it happened to be the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. Old Mo took her down the mountain to burn paper money for the lonely ghosts who had no incense offerings.
These wandering souls barely get a full meal throughout the year, and rely entirely on grabbing more incense offerings on this day to prolong their lives.
At that time, a boy of about ten years old was mixed in with this group of wandering ghosts.
But he was stupid; he just stood there dumbly, seemingly unaware of how to snatch the incense offerings.
Lin Sui kindly cooked some for him separately.
However, he still wouldn't eat or move, looking as dull as a fool.
Lin Sui ignored him, but he followed her on his own.
He followed Lin Sui wherever he went, and refused to eat the incense offered to him. Only then did little Lin Sui belatedly realize that this seemed to be a living soul.
After Lao Mo confirmed it, it was indeed a lost soul that had been missing for several days. If it didn't go back soon, it might be in trouble.
Although Lao Mo is only a novice in fortune telling and face reading, he can be reliable sometimes.
He carried the soul of one person and soon found the unconscious little boy in a private hospital.
And Grandpa Yu stayed by the little boy's bedside.
She was reluctant to go into the ward at the time, so she waited in the corridor and didn't know what the two of them talked about.
All I remember is that before she left, Grandpa Yu specially came out to thank her profusely and gave her a bag of White Rabbit milk candy.
She doesn't like sweets, so she kept one and gave the rest to Old Mo.
Therefore, Yu Cinian's suitcase full of milk candies did not remind her of this little episode.
After remembering, Lin Sui only had one question left: "Did Yu Cinian and I really have a childhood betrothal?"
Grandpa Yu was taken aback, then laughed heartily while fanning himself with a palm leaf fan: "What do you mean by childhood betrothal? That's just something that brat said."
Lin Sui breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Old Master Yu said, "However, Master Mo did say back then that you two have a deep connection and will be bound together in the future, so..."
He looked at Lin Sui with a smile, his eyes gleaming: "If Sui Sui is willing, this old man will make the decision and marry him to you, how about that?"
After a pause, he dropped another bombshell: "By the way, buy one get one free, plus a Si Xingran."
"Cough...cough..."
Lin Sui was so frightened that he choked on his saliva and waved his hands and shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, I can't handle it."
Grandpa Yu raised an eyebrow: "So you dislike it?"
"No, not exactly." Lin Sui awkwardly touched her nose. "I'm not in good health, so I haven't thought about getting married."
And then two major villains appeared. This kind of blessing with multiple wives is not something ordinary people can enjoy. She was afraid that her already short lifespan would be further shortened.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Yu frowned: "Are you alright? Should I have my private doctor come and take a look at you?"
After saying that, he seemed to remember something, then relaxed his brows and smiled, "Oh right, I forgot, your illness has always been treated by the old Chinese medicine doctor, who is much more skilled than me, his private doctor. You don't need him."
Lin Sui: "You know?"
“I always kept in touch with Master Mo before he passed away.” Old Master Yu was inexplicably proud. “Before you systematically studied metaphysics, I was the one who introduced him to several of his big feng shui clients.”
Lin Sui: "..." No wonder that after that, the stingy Lao Mo not only became more generous, but also looked exceptionally energetic.
However, the old man's words also reminded her that her recent attacks had been too frequent, and it was time to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.
“Actually, I’ve wanted to find you for a long time, but Master Mo said that I can’t interfere with you and Anian until you meet again.” Old Master Yu said, glancing hesitantly at Lin Sui.
Lin Sui: "Please feel free to speak your mind."
Grandpa Yu sighed and said, "I think you should have noticed it by now. No matter how normal A-Nian acts, his behavior is ultimately different from that of a normal person."
"And then there's Xingran. Don't let his carefree and nonchalant attitude fool you; he's actually a pitiful kid."
“If it weren’t for… he wouldn’t have been triggered to develop a split personality. It’s my Yu family that owes him.”
"I'm getting old and can't look after them for much longer, but I see they treat you very differently. If possible, I hope you can help me restrain them and stop them from hurting people indiscriminately, okay?"
Looking into the old man's pleading eyes, Lin Sui fell silent.
After a moment, she shook her head: "I'm sorry, I don't think they need to be restrained, nor do I have the right to restrain them."
"Aren't you worried?" Old Master Yu stared at her and asked, "Aren't you afraid that if they continue like this, they'll turn into cold-blooded monsters and commit even greater sins?"
Lin Sui didn't want them to end up like in the novel—becoming serial killers and suffering a terrible fate.
But... "I'd rather they hurt others than be hurt myself. I can only promise that I won't let them kill anyone."
Hearing the absolute protectiveness in her words, Old Master Yu was stunned for a long time before laughing loudly, "Good, good, I knew I hadn't misjudged you."
As he laughed, tears welled up in his eyes: "Now, even I... can rest assured."
"I don't quite understand." Lin Sui was too lazy to calculate, so she simply asked, "We only recorded two episodes of a variety show together, why do you think I can control them? Just because of what Lao Mo said?"
Grandpa Yu chuckled and sighed, "You probably don't know how nervous they were when they found out you went to see Chen Jue alone, especially after learning that Chen Jue had already killed three women."
Si Xingran wished he could remove all the bombs from his laboratory.
Yu Cinian wanted to use his connections to transfer a special forces unit from the military.
Li Ye even contacted his mercenary comrades abroad.
Lu Xiang also wanted to disguise himself as the director of the Public Security Bureau and mobilize a large number of police officers.
Tang Xi then immediately picked up a huge two-meter-tall sculpture, presumably intending to smash it to death on Chen Jue...
Of course, these were just irrational thoughts that occurred to them in the heat of the moment when they were angry.
But all of this shows how much they care, and how...afraid they are.
Even Grandpa Yu was surprised and astonished by this level of concern.
Even though Lin Sui didn't seem to have done anything for them, they still had a natural trust in and desire to protect her.
He didn't know the others, but this was truly rare for Yu Cinian, after all, he...
Lin Sui was also stunned.
It was at this moment that she finally understood what they were angry about.
So when Grandpa Yu left, Yu Cinian and the others came back to find Lin Sui and were surprised to find that she had already quietly written a letter of self-criticism.
Lin Sui filled a page with her writing, every word filled with heartfelt emotion.
It fully expresses a central idea: I was wrong, I shouldn't have gone into danger alone and made you worry, I promise I will never do it again.
Lu Xiang's expression softened a bit, but she couldn't help grabbing her hand and gritting her teeth, saying, "Do you know that if we had arrived any later, your hand would have been ruined!"
Lin Sui felt guilty and dared not utter a single word in rebuttal.
Besides, it really was her problem.
She underestimated the force of the restraint, which caused her to expend more effort and thus fail to dodge the bullets in advance.
"Let's eat." Li Ye was finally not so cold anymore, and she returned to the virtuous and gentle demeanor that Lin Sui was familiar with.
Lin Sui was so moved by the steaming hot seafood porridge he served that she almost cried.
Si Xingran waited until she finished eating before tapping the table and asking, "Where's Chen Jue? What did he say to you?"
Lin Sui slowly wiped her mouth, thought for a moment, then raised her head and calmly said, "Actually, it doesn't matter why you became murderers."
Yu Cinian's smile vanished, and he was about to speak when he suddenly met her deep, dark eyes.
Lin Sui stared at them intently, saying each word clearly: "The important thing is that I will always protect you and prevent you from having the opportunity to kill anyone."
These words clearly pleased the group, and Lin Sui successfully freed himself from the dark room.
While being led around the Yu family manor, she learned that they had come to the Yu family because the old man was celebrating his birthday that day.
As comrades-in-arms who fought alongside Yu Cinian against demons, the old man personally invited them to attend his birthday banquet.
"Where is Tangtang?" Lin Sui asked, frowning.
"Speaking of which, that's what I wanted to ask you." Lu Xiang asked curiously, "Did you have a fight with that little potato?"
Lin Sui paused slightly, then said helplessly, "We're not always together, so you don't know if we've had any arguments?"
“That’s true, it’s hard for her to start a fight.” Lu Xiang didn’t mean to treat her differently, she just stated the facts casually. “We originally agreed to conduct a three-way interrogation of you, but last night, as soon as you fell asleep, she insisted on going back.”
"I don't know if I'm avoiding you, or if I have a reason to go back."
Lin Sui lowered her eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
"...What kind of behavior is this, always acting so carefree and irresponsible? Can't you learn from your older brother?"
Suddenly, a scolding voice came from not far away. Lin Sui looked over and saw Si Xingran standing there with a gloomy face, letting a woman scold him.
