Li Yu had imagined countless possibilities. He believed the conflict between the two Jian brothers had reached an unavoidable point and that Jian Suilin would inevitably harm Jian Suying.
Yet he never dreamed that opening this door would reveal such a scene.
He stared coldly and blankly at Li Yu and Jian Suilin, who was scrambling to his feet.
Li Yu opened his mouth, trembling as he managed a faint, "Brother Jian," before his voice failed him.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Only the two Jian brothers were in this room. Why was Jian Suiying bound to the bed like this? Who, who had done this to him? Jian Suilin was his own brother!
Jian Suilin no longer concealed his rage and jealousy. Watching Li Yu's contorted face, he felt an unexpected sense of satisfaction. Li Yu's fists clenched so tightly they cracked. "Explain."
Jian Suilin flashed a mocking grin. "Exactly what you saw. Last night, on that bed..."
Before he could finish, Li Yu lunged at him like a cornered beast, fists flying wildly as he roared,
" He roared, "He's your brother! He's your brother!"
Jian Suilin's eyes were completely bloodshot now. He summoned every ounce of strength to engage in a frenzied brawl with Li Yu.
This could no longer be called a fight. Any bystander could see both men genuinely intended to kill the other.
.
To each other, they were the most irreconcilable enemies in the world. They threw their heaviest, most vicious punches
, trying to double the pain and jealousy in their hearts and inflict it on the other.
Jian Suying was his alone! She had always belonged to him and him alone!
He watched as Jian Suilin was now being pinned down and beaten, knowing full well he couldn't possibly win against Li Yu.
If he could move his limbs, he'd personally beat Jian Suilin half to death. But no matter how much he lost his mind, he wouldn't
forget that this kid was still a member of the Jian family.
The roar snapped both men fighting for their lives back to a semblance of reason.
Jian Suiying's heart lurched violently. He had never seen Li Yu like this before. This version of Li Yu sent a chill down his spine.
Li Yu glanced at him, then at Jian Suilin, who lay nearly unconscious from the beating. Finally, he slowly released his grip on Jian Suilin's collar.
He staggered to his feet and moved step by step toward Jian Suying's bed. With every step forward, every inch closer to that bed
required immense willpower.
He reached out, his fist covered in blood, the knuckles raw and scraped. Jian Suying watched him silently, as if looking at a stranger.
Li Yu trembled as he reached to untie the leather strap around his wrist. His fingers moved with unusual sluggishness, refusing to obey his commands
, refusing to come undone.
Jian Suiying watched the blood-stained leather strap, watched Li Yu staring intently at it, and then he saw Li Yu cry.
He had never seen Li Yu cry before.
It turned out that when Li Yu cried, he was just like everyone else. Tears streamed down his cheeks like a faucet that couldn't be turned off, instantly covering his entire face.
Gritting his teeth, he wiped away the tears blurring his vision while struggling to untie the leather
one by one.
Then he embraced Jian Suiying, holding him tightly, calling out with infinite sorrow, " " as if he had suffered
great injustice.
Jian Suiying felt a stinging ache in his eyes, but he held back the tears. He had no reason to cry over Li Yu, nor could he cry for himself.
. Whatever the reason, he couldn't show weakness in front of these two people.
Before these two who competed to hurt him, he would never, ever show weakness. He shoved Li Yu away forcefully. "Get out."
He picked up his clothes draped over the chair, pulled them on one by one, then gathered his belongings from the nightstand. Standing tall, he walked step by step toward the door.
As he passed by Jian Suilin, the latter cried out in anguish, "Brother..."
Jian Suiying paused, then spun around abruptly and delivered several vicious kicks to his stomach.
Jian Suilin writhed like a dying fish, unable even to moan, yet he clutched Jian Suying's legs tightly, sobbing.
"Brother, brother, I truly..."
Jian Suiying kicked his arms away and stormed out the door.
