Rong Si was also struggling to break free. He looked at Su Jiu and comforted her. “Little Jiu, don’t be afraid.”
I will find a way to get you out of here.
Su Jiu smiled at him. “I’m not afraid.”
For some reason, with the little villain around her, Su Jiu really didn’t feel too scared. Is it because I know he will grow up?
If he lives, does that mean that I will too?
Just as Su Jiu thought about it, a clicking sound came from the door. Someone entered the door!
Su Jiu immediately sat still and pretended that nothing had happened. She warily looked at the door.
The person who came was the same woman as before. Holding a bowl of food, the woman approached Su Jiu with a smile. She asked in a falsely sweet voice, “Little Jiu, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?”
Su Jiu was indeed hungry, but she didn’t know if the woman had drugged the food. Thus, she refused her. “No!”
“You don’t want it? Ha, I’m giving you food out of kindness, and you don’t want it? It seems like you want to do this the hard way!” The woman walked closer to Su Jiu. The smile on her face disappeared, and her expression became ferocious.
However, when she reached Su Jiu, she smiled again. “Little Jiu, this food is very delicious. Even dogs love it. You should try it too!”
Su Jiu was speechless.
So this is dog food?
“Come, be good and eat it. If you don’t, you won’t get anything to eat from now until tomorrow. You’ll be very hungry. No one will give you anything to eat then.” The woman earnestly persuaded Su Jiu.
“I won’t eat it!”
“What if I insist? Think about it. Do you want to eat it yourself, or do you want me to pinch your face and force-feed you?”
Su Jiu pursed his lips and glared at the woman.
At this moment, the little villain, who had been silent all this while, spoke, “I’ll eat it!”
Su Jiu looked at him in shock.
Little villain…
Rong Si stared at the woman with his dark eyes, his expression calm. “I’ll eat it for Little Jiu, alright?”
“Hehe, Little Jiu, you’re really blessed to have so many people who dote on you. Fine, I’ll let you choose. Will you eat it, or will he?”
Su Jiu bit his lips and glanced at Rong Si. She immediately said, “Let me eat it.”
“Big Brother, she asked me to eat it. I’ll eat it then. It’s alright!”
Su Jiu did not want to see the little villain eat dog food. He had also been kidnapped because of her, so how could she let him eat dog food on her behalf?
“How is it? Have you decided? Come, Little Jiu, let me feed you.” The woman creepily smiled. She scooped a spoonful of the food with her spoon and brought it to Su Jiu’s mouth.
Su Jiu sensed the unpleasant smell of the leftovers. She did not know if it was from the dog’s bowl, but she instinctively resisted.
She made a deep breath and took a bite.
Ugh! It’s too disgusting!
Su Jiu did not know when the food had been cooked. But why does it feel like this is rotten?
“Come, eat more. Eat well before you leave tomorrow! When you reach the village, you might not even have such rice and meat to eat!” The woman fed Su Jiu mouthful by mouthful. Before Su Jiu could swallow, another spoonful would come at her.
Su Jiu cried and vomited when she reached the end.
“Let her go!” Rong Si gritted his teeth. He was so angry that his eyes turned red.
He suddenly felt very useless as an older brother. He did not have the ability to protect Little Jiu!
The woman acted as if she did not hear anything. She only stopped when she had forced the entire bowl of rice into Su Jiu’s mouth. Then, she heaved a sigh of relief as if she were venting her anger.
