I met a yandere rich girl online using fake photos, and she kidnapped me.

Lin An glanced down at her phone, then looked at her holding it up: "Checking my heartbeat?"

"Yes," Huo Nianci said, "that way I can prevent you from developing feelings for others. If your heart beats too fast, I'll know someone is getting close to you."

Lin An opened his mouth, wanting to say, "A fast heartbeat doesn't necessarily mean you're attracted to someone; it could just be from being scared."

But before he could speak, Huo Nianci looked down and pressed a button on her phone.

Almost at the same instant, Lin An felt a slight stinging sensation in his ankle.

It felt like being gently pricked by something extremely thin.

He looked down at the chain on his ankle, then looked up at Huo Nianci.

"It even has a microcurrent function," Huo Nianci waved her phone screen at him, a familiar smile on her lips. "If An'an misbehaves, I can give you a little punishment remotely."

Lin An looked at her, then glanced down at the thin chain on his ankle, and took a deep breath.

He lifted his ankle and wiggled it, then said, "Let's go eat, the porridge is getting cold."

Huo Nianci smiled, put her phone away, reached out and took his hand, pulling him out of the guest room.

The two sat down back at the table. The congee was still steaming, and the side dishes and steamed buns were still warm.

Huo Nianci picked up another piece of chili-fried eggs and put it in her mouth, her cheeks puffed out, looking like she was in a very good mood.

Lin An lowered his head and ate his porridge. After a few sips, he said, "By the way, you're supposed to see a psychologist today, right?"

Huo Nianci glanced at him.

She neither said yes nor no, she just hummed in agreement and continued to drink her porridge.

Lin An watched her lower her head and drink her porridge, and didn't say anything more.

He finished his porridge and got up to go to the kitchen to clean up the dishes.

The sun is shining brightly outside the window; it's another beautiful sunny day.

……

After the two finished eating, Lin An went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes, washed and dried his hands, and when he came out of the living room, Huo Nianci had already changed into her outdoor clothes.

She wore a light beige cardigan over a white tank top, paired with dark blue straight-leg jeans and white sneakers.

Lin An also changed his clothes and walked to the entrance to bend down and change his shoes.

He put on his left shoe and was about to put on his right shoe when he paused.

A small section of silver chain peeked out from under the trouser leg.

He squatted there, turned to look at Huo Nianci, and asked, "Could you take off your anklet before going out?"

Huo Nianci was tying her shoelaces on her white sneakers when she heard his words. Without even looking up, she said, "Don't even think about it."

"It's not really appropriate to wear it out in public..."

"What's wrong with that?" Huo Nianci tied her shoelaces, straightened up, walked to him, and squatted down.

She reached out and pulled his trouser leg down, covering the silver chain: "Who can see it if it's inside your socks? Nobody's going to pull down your pants to look at your ankles."

Lin An looked down at his ankle.

Huo Nianci squatted down in front of him and adjusted the position of the anklet through her sock with her fingertips.

He let it lie snugly against the skin on the inside of his ankle, then patted his calf: "Okay, I promise you won't see it."

Lin An opened his mouth as if to say something, but Huo Nianci had already stood up to get the small handbag hanging on the shelf by the door.

He looked at the anklet hidden under his socks at the bottom of his trousers, sighed, put on his right shoe, and stood up.

The two went out together.

The mirrored wall in the elevator reflected the shadows of the two people. Huo Nianci naturally took his arm and rested her head on his shoulder.

The elevator doors reflected their profiles in the mirrored wall...

When the two came out of the lobby, the black Hodge was already parked at the entrance.

The driver got out of the car and opened the back door. Huo Nianci got in first, and Lin An followed her in.

As the car drove out of Longjiang Dijin, Huo Nianci took out her phone from her bag.

I opened the app that connects to the anklet and glanced at it. The screen displayed a steady heart rate reading.

She gave a satisfied "hmm" and put her phone back in her bag.

"What's wrong?" Lin An asked.

"I just checked An'an's heartbeat, and it's perfectly normal," Huo Nianci said.

"Okay," Lin An leaned back in his seat and didn't ask any more questions.

The street view outside the window gradually changed from the wide tree-lined avenue of Longjiang Imperial View to the main road of the city, and then to a relatively quiet street.

Finally, the car stopped in front of a gray-white three-story building.

Next to the main entrance hangs a light-colored wooden sign with the two characters "聊愈" (Liao Yu) engraved in rounded handwriting.

After parking the car, the driver turned around and said, "Miss, we've already made an appointment with Dr. Nangong. She'll let you and Mr. Lin go straight in."

Huo Nianci nodded, opened the car door, and got out.

Lin An came down from the other side.

When the two walked to the glass door together, Lin An noticed that Huo Nianci's domineering aura had disappeared again.

She seemed to have reverted to the terrified little girl she was last night.

Lin An reached out and took her hand.

"Shall we go?" Lin An said.

Huo Nianci glanced at him sideways, said nothing, and pushed open the door.

The lobby was indeed very quiet.

Today is a rest day, and there are no other patients in the clinic.

Then a woman wearing a light blue shirt and white trousers came out of the inner room.

She wore gold-rimmed glasses, had an oval face, and looked like a gentle and kind older sister.

Upon seeing Huo Nianci and Lin An, Dr. Nangong smiled and said, "Miss Nianci, it's been a long time since you've visited. Please come in."

She stepped aside to make way for the doorway, and Huo Nianci took Lin An's hand and walked inside.

It was a healing room of about 20 square meters.

A beige fabric sofa was placed against the wall, with two light gray single chairs next to it.

In the middle is a low, light-colored wooden coffee table, on which sits a small potted green plant and a box of tissues.

Huo Nianci chose to sit in the corner of the beige sofa, and Lin An sat down next to her, her hand still being held tightly by Huo Nianci.

She hunched her shoulders slightly forward, adopting a defensive posture.

His gaze fell on the potted green ivy on the coffee table, without looking at Dr. Nangong.

Dr. Nangong sat down in the single chair opposite her and said, "Miss Nianci, it's been several years since you last visited my clinic, hasn't it?"

Huo Nianci nodded, but still didn't look at Doctor Nangong.

Her fingers were digging into the back of Lin An's hand.

Dr. Nangong didn't urge him, but waited quietly for a few seconds before continuing in that calm tone, "How have you been lately? Has there been any improvement?"

Huo Nianci shook her head.

Dr. Nangong nodded slightly, as if he had already expected this answer.

"So... have you been having nightmares lately? Have you experienced any strange symptoms?"

Huo Nianci did not answer.

She leaned her body towards Lin An, almost pressing herself against him.

Dr. Nangong's gaze followed her movements and landed on Lin An.

She sized him up for a few seconds, then asked, "Miss Nianci, is this your boyfriend?"
