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

The hotel is surrounded by a large garden area, with streetlights that stay on all night. The light filters through the dense green foliage, leaving only a faint afterglow, while the stone and cobblestone paths remain dark.

In areas with dense greenery, it was so dark that only a shadow could be seen.

Lin Mian had been looking down from upstairs and saw the streetlights, which were very bright. But once she stepped inside, the feeling was different.

It's a bit creepy.

Unconsciously, she gripped He Duoye's hand tightly.

He Duoye took out his phone to check the time: "Is a ten-minute walk enough?"

Lin Mian: "..."

She looked around, then looked up at the brightly lit building next to her. It was indeed not suitable to stay in the woods for the middle of the night.

Turning a corner, the two entered a tree-lined path. The trees on both sides were very tall, and the streetlights were located beneath them, making the path even brighter.

Lin Mian stepped onto the flower bed by the roadside and said to He Duoye, "I want you to carry me."

He Duoye had one hand in his pocket and looked up slightly at Lin Mian, who was standing on a high place. The streetlights were dim, and the interplay of light and shadow made his features appear more defined and profound.

His eyes had become very dark, with a subtle, dark softness.

But what he said wasn't so pleasant to hear.

"Did you secretly drink behind my back tonight? That's so unusual."

Lin Mian didn't intend to argue with him. With a cold face, she asked a very temperamental question: "Are you going to carry it or not?"

He Duoye looked at her for a while, seemingly calculating something in his mind, and finally gave in.

He turned around, revealing his broad back.

He was in a hurry to leave, so He Duoye just threw on a loose black long-sleeved shirt. The fabric was soft and shapeless, but because he had broad shoulders and enough back muscle lines, he managed to pull off a sexy mature man look.

Lin Mian leaned over him, wrapped her arms around his neck, and had her legs firmly supported by his strong arms.

Just like countless times before.

Initially, he carried Lin Mian when she was injured. Later, when they started dating, he would carry Lin Mian when she got tired, which also made it easier for her to pull his hair when he was being sarcastic.

He Duoye carried Lin Mian on his back and slowly walked through the woods.

It was very quiet around them, and neither of them spoke.

Lin Mian pressed her cheek against his ear, watching their overlapping shadows and listening to each other's breathing.

Time suddenly stretched out, slowed down, and softened.

After He Duoye finished walking along the tree-lined path, Lin Mian directed him to turn back and walk it again.

He Duoye asked impatiently, "How many times are you planning to walk this route?"

Lin Mian didn't argue with him. Instead, she pressed herself against He Duoye's back, then reached into his collar and touched his pectoral muscles.

He Duoye hissed, somewhat amused: "Are you sure you want to do this here?"

Lin Mian placed her palm against his slightly scarred chest, her soft palm clearly feeling his strong heartbeat.

"He Duoye," Lin Mian began, then immediately asked, "Do you really want me to go back?"

He Duoye paused for a moment, and Lin Mian could clearly feel his heartbeat become erratic, even if only for a brief instant.

"What, you don't want to go back?" He Duoye said. "Want to stay and have children for me? I might consider it."

Lin Mian pinched He Duoye's pectoral muscle hard: "I'll give birth to your fart."

He Duoye said, "Then you've had quite a few children. We're blessed with many children."

Lin Mian: "..."

She changed "揪" to "扭".

"Then you've had quite a few children. You could be nominated for a world wonder award for being a man who can have children."

He Duoye said, "I'm not going. I have my pride."

After he finished speaking, he gave Lin Mian a hard bounce. The moment her body was thrown into the air, she had to loosen her grip on He Duoye's chest muscles and instead hug his neck tightly to prevent herself from being thrown around.

He then asked, "How much longer are you going to walk?"

Lin Mian: "..."

She didn't want to walk with that bastard He Duoye anymore; it was pointless and just her making trouble for herself.

A stubborn ex-boyfriend should just rot in the ground and then be blown to smithereens by a passing kid with a firecracker.

She released He Duoye, landed on the ground, turned around, and angrily turned and walked away.

A second later, He Duoye strode over at a leisurely pace.

"You've been very irritable lately," he said.

He's so annoying, he can't even speak properly.

Lin Mian quickened her pace, but a fallen leaf blocked her path, and she angrily slapped it away. A few innocent leaves fell from the roadside tree, and He Duoye caught one in his hand.

He glanced at it, quickened his pace, and caught up with Lin Mian.

"Don't be angry, I have something to give you."

Lin Mian paused slightly, her face expressionless. She neither answered nor stopped walking.

He Duoye took a few quick steps and blocked Lin Mian's way, extending his clenched fist towards her: "Give me your hand."

Lin Mian looked at him coldly and stretched out one hand.

He felt a coolness in his palm and put down a very light and small... leaf.

Lin Mian: "..."

She picked up the leaf and examined it from all angles. It was just an ordinary leaf, without even a single insect or bird droppings.

Lin Mian felt the fire gradually boiling inside her body.

At this moment, He Duoye grabbed Lin Mian's hand and made her turn the leaves over, pointing to one of them: "Look here, there's a hole, it's really special."

Lin Mian: "..."

She clenched her fist, crushed the damn leaves, and then kicked He Duoye hard.

"He Duoye, you're really annoying."

Lin Mian lifted her foot and left, this time without looking back.

The garden was quiet in the middle of the night. The night breeze was cool and damp. Not far away, behind the bushes, was a clear artificial stream with beautiful pebbles lining the banks.

Lin Mian paused, suddenly remembering something from the past.

One weekend, Lin Mian dragged He Duoye to play by the river.

It was the dry season, and the river was very low. The banks were covered with all kinds of pebbles, some of which were very beautiful in color. Lin Mian found it interesting and squatted down to search through them.

She wanted to collect some uniquely shaped, beautifully colored, and small, exquisite stones. Once home, she could put them in glass jars as souvenirs or use them as mulch in flowerpots.

Lin Mian plans to buy two potted plants, such as easy-to-care-for cacti, to add some life to the rented room.

As she was engrossed in her search, He Duoye suddenly squatted down beside her and mysteriously told her, "I found something good."

Lin Mian knew he liked to act foolishly, but given that he had just picked up two nice stones, she believed what he was saying at that moment.

She asked, "What?"

He Duoye raised his hand and placed something in Lin Mian's palm.

Lin Mian looked down and saw a cylindrical, dark object. She asked, "What is this?"

He Duoye said, "I don't know, maybe it's dried dog poop."

Lin Mian instantly flung the object in her hand away, jumped up in disgust, and chased He Duoye for several hundred meters.

After being hit, He Duoye said that it wasn't dog poop, but barbecue charcoal that the families having a picnic nearby had thrown into the water.

"Ha." Lin Mian sneered at the stream.

Thinking back on those things now makes me even angrier.
