When Jian Suiying awoke, sunlight streamed directly onto his face. The winter sun always felt especially warm.
The sheets beneath him had been changed. Though his body was bare, there was no sticky dampness—clearly, he had been cleaned. Jian Suilin, as always, had been meticulous, minimizing his discomfort.
Even so, the first thought that flashed through Jian Suying's mind upon regaining consciousness was to kill him. He regretted not drinking more last night.
He could forget everything that had happened, rather than remembering every scene with crystal clarity.
Jian Suilin sat fully dressed at his bedside, as if waiting for him to wake. Seeing his eyes open, he gently
"Brother, you must be hungry."
Jian Suiying stared at him coldly. "How long do you plan to keep me tied up?" His voice was hoarse, barely recognizable as human speech.
Last night, he hadn't stopped cursing Jian Suilin, nor had Jian Suilin stopped violating him.
Finally, both were exhausted.
Jian Suilin pressed his lips together, lowering his eyelids. "I don't know either... Every extra second I can stay with you is worth it." Jian Suying turned his face away and closed his eyes.
Everything that needed to be said, every curse that needed to be hurled, he had already uttered last night. Now, only exhaustion remained in his heart. He didn't want to think about anything
because whatever he thought about pushed his psychological limits, and he couldn't bear it.
Why didn't he belong to him? Why? Jian Suilin resented every reason preventing his older brother from being his own, resented it
hating it enough to want to destroy everything.
Jian Suilin suddenly turned his face away, spat in his direction, and spat with disgust, " " "Don't touch me, you fucking disgusting bastard."
."
Jian Suilin froze, his face turning pale. After finally recovering from a wave of intense heartache, he reached out with trembling hands
hand to wipe the substance from his face.
Brother, I love you.
Brother, I love you, I love you.
Last night, amidst the violent thrusts, the words "I love you" echoed relentlessly in his ears like a terrifying curse—
curse, began echoing in Jian Suiying's mind once more, driving him to the point where he wanted to bite the man in front of him to death.
He no longer cared what vengeance such desperate, mad love might bring. All he knew was that possessing what he craved most in this life—even for just one night—was worth any risk.
Jian Suiying shot him a look of disgust before turning her face away.
"Brother, are you thirsty? Hungry? What would you like to eat?"
After waiting a long while with no response, Jian Suilin spoke to himself, "Just tell me what you want to eat..."
I couldn't bear to look at you, but whenever I saw you, I wanted to hide."
"But you... why did you fall for Li Yu? What good is he? I want to kill him..."
Jian Suilin's previously calm tone suddenly turned violent at the mention of Li Yu. If he could turn back time, he would never have let Li Yu set foot in his home.
Without all these "coincidences" , none of the three would have ended up in their current predicament.
Jian Suiying couldn't fathom what had gone wrong with his world. Last night's events had completely overturned his life.
Before that, he could never have imagined his younger brother confessing his love in his ear.
This whole fucking mess was too twisted, too fucking disgusting. He wished a bolt of lightning would strike them both dead
How clean!
They were all insane.
Just as Jian Suilin was clinging to his older brother, pouring out his heart, a frantic ringing of the doorbell, mixed with the sound of someone violently kicking the door, abruptly
shattered the illusion he'd been wallowing in.
"Open up! Open up!"
Li Yu's low growl echoed from outside.
The expressions of both men inside changed instantly.
Jian Suilin hadn't expected Li Yu to find his residence so quickly, while Jian Suying, seeing her own naked body and
bound limbs, felt even more helpless.
He'd rather smash his head against the wall than face the humiliation before Li Yu.
Jian Suilin slowly pushed himself up, offering Jian Suying an unusually haggard smile. This dream was too brief—too short to even begin to mend his broken heart.
He tracked down Jian Suilin's assistant overnight, forcing him to cooperate with his fists, and finally located this property. From
11 PM last night until now, these agonizing nine-plus hours had left him physically and mentally drained. He feared that if he was even a moment too late
and regret it for the rest of his life.
Jian Suilin kissed Jian Suying's lips once, then again, lingering over him with reluctant gazes before slowly
he reluctantly got out of bed, walked out of the room, and locked the door behind him.
As soon as the front door swung open, Li Yu charged like a cornered lion. His eyes blazing crimson, he seized Li Suiying's collar the instant the door opened.
grabbed his collar. "Where is he!"
Jian Suilin's eyes burned with unmasked hatred. "How did you find me here?"
"Where is he! What did you do to him!" Li Yu realized arguing was futile, shoving him hard to the ground , then began searching the room for Jian Suying.
After pushing open two rooms with no one inside, he tried to open the one at the very end of the hallway, only to be
.
Li Yu took two steps back and kicked the door violently.
The solid wood door, weighing over seventy pounds, emitted a thunderous crash, but the blow failed to budge the heavy, sturdy door. Li Yu's leg went numb from the impact.
Just as he stepped back to prepare for a second kick, he suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him. Turning, he saw Jian Suilin
a chair hurtling toward his head.
Li Yu had no time to fight back. The more Jian Suilin reacted like this, the more terrified Li Yu became that the scene behind the door was something he couldn't bear to see.
His mind held only one thought: he had to see Jian Suiying immediately.
The sight that met his eyes froze Li Yu solid.
