Chapter 9

Extra:
Sophomore summer, Shen Zhe brought me suburb villa stay.
Entered, felt strong watched sensation.
Subtly found pinhole cameras everywhere.
Shen Zhe thought I clueless—so I played along.
Blood thrilled; back to camera, licked lips.
Fun.
What more exciting than boyfriend same type as me?
Plus genius brother—even better.
Villa huge, cleaner weekly.
By chance, book-hunting in study.
Through book gap, spied round iron lid’s eerie glow in soft light, dusty lock and key atop.
Intuition: basement below.
Borrowed cleaner’s hand, got key mold; back school, had duplicate made.
Waited, waited—chance came.
Shen Zhe said brother returning.
Faked nerves, pretended unaware Shen Kuo already back, unaware some nights pillow was him.
Table spiked juice—I played along.
Back from bathroom, overheard waiters at stairs.
Since they initiated, saved my effort.
Superb acting fooled both.
Ended locked in room.
Bedhead pinhole camera recorded all.
Didn’t faze.
Feigned resistance, compromise, weakness, escape attempt—all performed.
Why Shen Kuo in backseat.
He saw plan via actions, catching expected.
Plus, never meant run—bait fish to hook.
As wished, basement locked.
Quite nice—more thorough than thought.
Cage breakthrough.
Unsure Shen Zhe’s true feelings—but irrelevant.
Deliberately weakened, used men’s lower-body thinking, sparked conflict.
They won’t know long-planned—nor need to.
Kittens don’t need know.
