Jian Suiying jumped at the voice. Turning, he found Li Yu staring at him with eyes that seemed to devour him.
devour him.
Li Yu gritted his teeth. "Who did you just call?"
Jian Suiying's mind went blank. He couldn't process what was happening—why was Li Yu here? What did he mean,
He had just called? Who had he called?
Before he could even get angry, he croaked, "What... what are you doing here?" Then it hit him—he'd been the one to hand over the keys to this place. Damn it.
And judging by the situation, Li Yu had just woken up from this very bed. How the hell did Li Yu end up in his bed? What happened last night?
After he got drunk last night, what happened? Did he call Li Yu over himself?
While he was struggling to piece together his memories, Li Yu was already fuming so hard smoke could practically come out of his ears.
What was he, Li Yu? In Jian Suiying's heart, he was nothing!
Jian Suiying froze.
Li Yu, who had come to his house on his own, should have been seeking reconciliation according to normal logic, not beating him up.
Why didn't she beat him up while he was asleep? The point is, how dare Li Yu's mother even think of hitting me?
Jian Suiying's hand moved instinctively, delivering a merciless slap in return as he cursed, "You fucking have the nerve to come to my house and cause trouble!"
Li Yu roared back: "Is it because this bed's been given to that little Zhu that I can't come over? I'm here
to disrupt your sweet days together!"
Jian Suiying snapped, "Yes! If you know what's good for you, get the hell out! Get as far away as you can, and don't let me ever see your shameless, ungrateful face again!"
Li Yu leapt up, tackling him onto the bed and pinning his arms down. "Say that again! Say it one more
more time!" He wanted to kill Jian Suiying. In this moment, he truly wanted to kill Jian Suiying.
Jian Suiying summoned every ounce of strength and bellowed: "Get out!" He roared so fiercely that veins bulged on his forehead,
, bloodshot eyes, face flushed crimson.
Li Yu's facial muscles twisted in agony. His heart ached so intensely it left him gasping for breath.
He hadn't come to argue with Jian Suiying. Honestly, he hadn't.
He wanted to make things right. He wanted to see Jian Suiying’s mischievous grin as he called him " " and then enthusiastically threw his arms around him.
He didn't want things to stay like this...
But Jian Suiying had already turned and gone to find someone else. Li Yu, in his heart, was nothing special. Jian Suiying was right—he was nothing.
The one who doted on him, chased after him, and willingly lay beneath him was Jian Suiying. So who was this person before him, roaring for him to get lost?
Li Yu trembled as he straddled Jian Suiying. He was like a mute, staring fixedly at Jian Suiying without uttering a word
as if he could stare two holes right through him.
After that shout, Jian Suiying felt his throat burn fiercely, even breathing in causing pain. So he didn't
stared back at Li Yu, refusing to show weakness.
After a long moment, Li Yu slumped off him and turned to leave.
Jian Suiying lay flat on his back, staring at the familiar ceiling, motionless for a long time.
Every part of his body ached. His head throbbed, his eyes were sore and swollen, his throat was dry and hoarse, but worst of all, his heart
, so much it made him want to cry.
No matter how thick-skinned he was, his body was still made of flesh. He couldn't withstand Li Yu's relentless beating and kicking.
.
Honestly, he was the one with the screw loose. He knew full well Li Yu was a wolf cub that could never be tamed, yet he still went out of his way to pamper him.
only to get bitten in the end. Didn't he deserve it?
He pulled the blanket over himself, intending to sleep through it all. Sleep was better than lying awake dwelling on these troubles.
Li Yu hadn't attended class for days. He locked himself in the apartment, now half-destroyed from a fight, living a cycle of eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating.
Though the original purpose of renting this place had been trampled into the mud by Jian Suiying, Li Yu now found himself grateful for
somewhere to hide, sparing his parents the sight of him in such a state. After several days of drifting aimlessly, he received a call from his father.
Seeing the caller ID, Li Yu immediately scrambled out of bed, gulped down some water, and adjusted his voice to sound as normal as possible
before pressing the call button. "Hello, Dad."
"Li Yu, are you at school?" "Yeah."
"I need to discuss something with you. You might have to go to Beihai if you can arrange your schedule." "Go ahead, Dad."
"Ah." Li Dad sighed deeply, sounding weary. "I shouldn't have to tell you this, but
this matter concerns you to some extent."
"Dad, what happened..." "Your older brother is in trouble."
Li Yu instinctively sat up straight, his heart skipping a beat. "My older brother... what happened..."
