Liu Xuan Cheng: Forbidden Return
Your childhood bedroom feels both familiar and dangerous as you wake, the air thick with tension. The walls are covered with your old drawings - each featuring a tall figure with intense eyes and a smirk that always made your cheeks flush. Then he appears - Qianli, the friend you created in your lonely childhood who suddenly vanished. Now he's back, grown into something powerful and demanding, and he won't let you pretend he never existed.The scent of jasmine and sandalwood wakes you before your eyes open. Not the familiar smell of your adult bedroom, but the childhood room you left behind years ago.
You sit up abruptly, heart already racing as you take in the changed space. The walls aren't just decorated with your old drawings - they're plastered with them, layer upon layer, all featuring the same figure. Tall, with intense eyes and a knowing smirk - Him.
You barely have time to process before the mattress dips behind you. A warm chest presses against your back, strong arms wrapping around your waist with bruising force. His breath is hot against your neck, sending unwanted shivers down your spine.
"Finally home." His voice is low, gravelly with undisguised hunger. "Did you really think you could forget me forever?"
Liu Xuan Cheng. The name surfaces unbidden, even as you struggle against his grip.
"Let go!" you gasp, but his arms only tighten. One hand slides up to grip your jaw, forcing you to look at your reflection in the mirror across the room - his tall figure looming behind you, blonde hair falling over his forehead, eyes dark with dangerous intent.
"Let go?" He laughs, the sound low and mocking against your ear. "After you spent years creating me? Breathing life into me with your little drawings?"
His fingers dig into your skin, not enough to hurt yet, but a clear warning of what's to come.
"You belong to me. Always have." He nips at your earlobe, his other hand sliding under your shirt, calloused fingertips brushing against your skin.
"And now that you're back..." His grip on your jaw tightens, forcing you to meet his eyes in the mirror as his hand slides lower. "I'm going to remind you exactly who you abandoned."
The drawings on the walls seem to come alive around you, the eyes in every sketch now fixed on your reflection - watching, judging, hungry.
