Pure Love Imprisoned: My Ex-Boyfriend, Who Blamed Me, Imprisoned Me in Love

Lin Mian received a call from Mei Li in the middle of the night, asking for the address of her rented apartment so she could come over.

"Now?" Lin Mian sat up abruptly, startled. "Weren't you going to spend a few days abroad?"

Meili said, "I'm not playing anymore. It's not fun abroad, I don't know anyone there, and even eating is boring."

Lin Mian got out of bed: "Where are you now? Have you arrived at the airport yet?"

"I just got off the plane, you don't need to pick me up, I just took a taxi here," Mei added. "But you can order some good takeout to welcome me back later."

It takes about half an hour to drive here from the airport. Lin Mian tidied up her room and prepared pillows and summer blankets.

She turned on the living room light, sat on the sofa, and ordered takeout.

Before going on a group tour abroad, she cleared out all the snacks and fruits at home. When she got back today, she was too lazy to buy any more, so all she had at home was half a case of bottled water.

She urgently ordered fruit, snacks, and several different late-night meals.

Half an hour later, Mei Li arrived. Lin Mian came downstairs to greet her, and the two entered the house one after the other.

Lin Mian took out the guest slippers from the shoe cabinet.

Meili gripped the handle of her suitcase and looked around. The rented apartment was simply decorated and laid out, but it was filled with small decorative items and kept very tidy, giving it a lively and welcoming feel.

She glanced at the slippers Lin Mian had placed over—women's slippers—and asked, "Do you usually have guests coming over?"

Occasionally, classmates will come over to visit.

But in fact, it has been very rare in the past year. Only in the first year after graduating from university would she occasionally contact her close classmates, visit each other's workplaces, have late-night snacks together, and chat until midnight.

As everyone gets busier with work and new people come into their lives, contact naturally decreases.

Mei asked, "Are there any male classmates?"

Lin Mian turned to look at her: "Did He Duoye ask you to ask?"

Meili walked into the house: "I'm also very curious. Third Master didn't look for anyone else in those years. If it's really true love, you should feel the same way, right?"

Lin Mian didn't dare to speak because she had been on a blind date once.

But it wasn't her fault. She had always thought that He Duoye, who had disappeared without a trace after losing contact, was a scumbag who had already changed his mind.

It's his fault for being so stubborn and refusing to say anything.

Meili was very uninhibited and had a strong sense of curiosity. She looked around the room, even opening the wardrobe to take a look, which gave Lin Mian a strange feeling that she was being raided.

After having a late-night snack, washing up, and getting ready, we went to bed together. It was almost 3 a.m.

Lin Mian wasn't sleepy, but she was very tired. She hadn't slept well for the past few days and her head ached from staying up late.

Mei Li lay on the other side of the bed, a little distance away from Lin Mian, but she was still a living person and had a strong presence, so Lin Mian would need some time to get used to it.

"Your blanket smells wonderful," Meili suddenly said.

Lin Mian couldn't help but feel a little proud: "I specially bought a long-lasting scented laundry detergent, so it will smell good for several days after washing."

She tried several different laundry detergents to find one that had a long-lasting and pleasant scent.

"Oh, has anyone else slept in your bed like this?" said Mary.

Lin Mian: "..."

She was so speechless she almost laughed.

"Tell me honestly, did He Duoye send you to investigate me?"

Meili snorted: "I'm not that bored. I would only do this kind of thing for Third Master because I'm curious."

"..."

Fine, Lin Mian was too lazy to say anything more.

Mei Li stayed at Lin Mian's rented room. Lin Mian originally thought she was just staying for a couple of days, since it wasn't very convenient for two people to share a bed, but she just wouldn't leave.

She wasn't used to sharing a bed with other people, so she slept on the sofa bed in the living room. A few days later, she started looking at new houses, two bedrooms and one living room, located nearby, so it wouldn't interfere with Lin Mian's daily work.

After resting for only a few days after returning home, Lin Mian went back to work at the company, and life gradually returned to normal.

On Friday after get off work, Lin Mian went home early and packed up her things to move with Mei Li.

She agreed to move to a two-bedroom apartment.

Lin Mian tidied up the wardrobe and took out a jewelry box hidden deep inside. Inside were the ten rings that He Duoye had given her. These things were too valuable, and Lin Mian was afraid of losing them, so she had kept them hidden in the wardrobe.

She opened the box and was looking at the ring when her phone rang.

It was an unfamiliar number, but when the call connected, a somewhat familiar voice came from the other end: "Mianmian."

It is the missing Zhang Zhiwen.

"I'm back today too..." Zhang Zhiwen's tone became as gentle and polite as before he went abroad, unusually calm. "I heard that my parents have been causing trouble for you and your uncle's family recently. I'm sorry, but my dad is just impulsive and rude."

Lin Mian, holding her phone, asked, "How did you get back?"

Zhang Zhi asked, "This is a very long story. Why don't we meet and talk about it?"

Lin Mian didn't think she had anything to talk about with Zhang Zhiwen. She said, "Since you're alright, just live your life well. I don't have much to say to you, do I?"

Zhang Zhiwen chuckled and said, "Okay."

He hung up the phone.

Lin Mian still felt uneasy, so she sent a message to her aunt to inquire about Zhang Zhiwen.

Zhang Zhiwen did indeed return today. He took a taxi back to the neighborhood in the early hours of the morning. His mother said he ran back on his own.

He was injured abroad and met a kind person who took him in for more than half a month. After recovering, he asked his family for money and bought a plane ticket back home.

That's roughly what my aunt knew. She felt relieved to see Zhang Zhiwen return. She had been holding a grudge about causing Lin Mian and Zhang Zhiwen to disappear abroad, and now that they were both back, she felt much lighter.

"Mianmian, come over for dinner tomorrow," her aunt said happily. "Bring your friend along, and I'll make you plum-flavored pork ribs."

Lin Mian didn't want to run into Zhang Zhiwen when she went back to her aunt's house, so she used the excuse of moving to refuse.

But Lin Mian didn't expect to receive a call from her uncle the next day, saying that the Zhang family wanted to invite them to dinner to apologize for the previous misunderstanding, and her uncle asked Lin Mian if she wanted to agree.

Lin Mian felt increasingly uneasy. She had already told Zhang Zhiwen what she had said, so there was no reason for her to invite them to dinner.

After a moment's thought, Lin Mian agreed.

She wanted to see what Zhang Zhiwen was up to.

"I'll book the restaurant," Lin Mian said. "They don't need to pay, I'll treat them. I'll find a restaurant now and send you the location link tomorrow."

My uncle thought it was a good idea and agreed.
