Xiu Gou's Taming Record

Chapter 183 Ceremony of Recognition

Friday night, the villa was quiet.

Shen Yueling said she hadn't spent time with her dormmates in a long time, so they were having a meal together today, and then going to sing karaoke.

Yu Heng knew she was deliberately avoiding it.

Bai Xinran had taken a shower and was wearing a cotton nightgown with her hair half-dry.

She sat on the edge of the bed, and heard footsteps coming from downstairs.

Yu Heng pushed open the bedroom door, holding a dark brown wooden box in his hand.

Yu Heng had been preparing for this ceremony for a long time, and the handwritten contract was written on parchment.

I originally planned to make the collar myself, but I don't have the means to do so right now.

So I had one custom-made, made of crocodile skin, which cost over two thousand yuan.

There were also some other leather goods, which added up to more than ten thousand.

These things are not a lot of money to him now.

The revenue from Douyin has already reached a considerable scale, and the net income next month should be around 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, and this is just the beginning.

When Bai Xinran saw Yu Heng enter, she immediately stood up.

"Sit down," Yu Heng said.

She sat down again. Yu Heng placed the wooden box on the bedside table and opened it.

Yu Heng opened the wooden box.

At the very top was a roll of dark brown parchment, tied with a dark red ribbon.

Below was a black velvet box, and below that were several black leather belts neatly stacked, their metal buckles gleaming coldly.

Bai Xinran looked at the velvet box; she knew what was inside.

Yu Heng first took out the parchment and untied the ribbon.

The words above are handwritten in black ink, and the handwriting is neat.

"This is the contract." Yu Heng handed her the parchment. "You can take a look."

Bai Xinran took it, her hands trembling slightly.

She actually knew all the terms on the paper; Yu Heng had confirmed them with her item by item beforehand.

On obedience, safety, responsibility, and termination.

But seeing them written so solemnly on parchment still feels different.

After she finished reading, her eyes welled up with tears as she looked up at Yu Heng.

"Any objections?" Yu Heng asked. His voice was flat.

"No." Bai Xinran carefully held the parchment in her hands.

Yu Heng picked up the black velvet box and opened it. Inside was a collar made of light purple crocodile skin.

She noticed that there were tiny characters engraved on the inside of the collar, which could only be seen by looking closely.

It is the intertwining of the cursive script characters "珩" and "灵".

"Do you like it?" Yu Heng asked.

"I like it." Bai Xinran's voice was a little tense.

"Alright, take off your clothes now," Yu Heng smiled. "The ceremony can begin."

Bai Xinran began to undress, while Yu Heng lit scented candles and turned off the lights, creating a much more intimate atmosphere in the room.

Yu Heng handed her the pen.

Bai Xinran unscrewed the pen cap and signed her name on it.

The handwriting is a little shaky, but it's written very clearly.

Yu Heng took the pen and signed his name below.

Then he picked up the inkpad.

Give me your hand.

Bai Xinran extended her right index finger.

Yu Heng grasped her wrist, pressed her fingertips onto the red inkpad, then moved them to the parchment, pressed her fingerprint next to her signature, and then pressed his own fingerprint as well.

Two red fingerprints side by side.

Yu Heng rolled up the parchment, retied the ribbon, and put it back in the wooden box.

"Wear the collar now," he said.

Bai Xinran's body tensed slightly.

Yu Heng picked up the necklace and walked up to her: "Look up."

Bai Xinran looked up.

The collar pressed against her neck, the leather feeling slightly cool.

Yu Heng's fingers touched her skin, adjusting their position.

Click, the buckle is fastened.

The collar fit snugly against her neck, neither too loose nor too tight.

Yu Heng took a step back and looked around.

"That's appropriate," he said.

Bai Xinran raised her hand to touch the collar, then lowered it again.

"Thank you," she said softly.

Yu Heng took out several other leather goods from the wooden box.

A pair of wristbands, also made of crocodile skin, about one centimeter wide, with silver buckles.

There was also an anklet, which was thinner than the wristband.

"You don't need to wear these normally," Yu Heng said, "but you need to wear them during ceremonies."

Bai Xinran reached out her hand, and Yu Heng fastened the wristband on her wrist.

Then he knelt down and put the anklet on her right ankle.

"Stand up," he said.

Bai Xinran stood up.

Yu Heng took a few steps back and looked her up and down.

"Let's go around in a circle," Yu Heng said.

Bai Xinran slowly turned around.

"Alright," Yu Heng said, "now kneel down."

Bai Xinran knelt down, her knees touching the carpet.

Yu Heng walked up to her.

"The contract is signed, the collar is on," Yu Heng said. "From today onwards, you are mine."

Bai Xinran lowered her head and said, "Yes."

"look up."

She looked up.

Yu Heng stared at her for a long time.

Then he bent down, reached out and cupped her chin, his thumb stroking her lower lip.

"Open your mouth," Yu Heng said.

Bai Xinran opened her mouth, and Yu Heng pressed her tongue with his finger, causing Bai Xinran to make a sound in her throat.

He withdrew his fingers and wiped them on her pajamas: "Get up."

Bai Xinran stood up, her legs feeling a little weak.

Yu Heng walked to the bedside and sat down, patting the spot next to him.

Bai Xinran walked over and sat down.

Yu Heng put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to him.

"Are you nervous?" Yu Heng asked.

"A little," Bai Xinran said.

"That's normal," Yu Heng said. "You'll get used to it."

Bai Xinran leaned on his shoulder, the feeling of the collar against her skin was very clear.

"This," she touched the collar, "do I have to wear it all the time?"

"I wear it during the day," Yu Heng said. "I can take it off when I sleep or shower, but I wear it all the time."

"Okay!" Bai Xinran smiled happily. "Thank you!"

"Alright, now we can move on to the final step."

-

When Bai Xinran woke up the next day, it was already past 10 o'clock, because she was too tired.

But I was also very satisfied; that kind of satisfaction is truly indescribable.

It was like emerging from the desert and drinking a bottle of water, or grabbing onto a vine while falling.

It's like seeing a lighthouse while lost at sea, or taking a hot bath after a long and tiring journey.

Bai Xinran tried her best to describe the process with her not-so-great writing skills, but she felt that it was all rather pale.

Furthermore, they identified a long-term goal, or rather, a long-term daily task: expansion.

Thinking about this made her blush a little. This was what she wanted, and Yu Heng supported her.

But I wonder how long it will take to reach the level of a fist.

The future is long, it will come true eventually.
