At the very end-when he was tied into a dumpling, the ropes on his body was of just the right strength: not too tight, not too loose. He then closed his eyes to wait for the suffering feeling to invade his senses.
Not long after, he felt the familiar discomfort.
Even though it was not his first-every single time, he felt the death-like torment… Bai Luoyin. His eyes suddenly produced immense hatred. It was all her fault, all that woman’s fault.
When he was overwhelmed by the hatred till the point he lost his senses, a pair of hands held his shoulders down.
When he was finally a bit saner, he looked up; and in his blurry gaze, he saw a man’s silent face and his slightly worried expression.
“Chu Lui, you’re actually an idiot.”
His consciousness started slipping away from him, but the pain was still reverberating through his bones, tormenting his body and his soul. It was as if there were a thousand holes in his body, and his soul was infected.
By things like anger, hatred, and indignance.
This carried on until he was breathing heavily, that the ropes on his body went loose.
“Congratulations, you’ve survived again.” Chu Lui untangled his rope and threw it aside before checking the time on his watch.
“This time, it lasted twenty-four minutes and fifteen seconds, which is two minutes less than the previous and five minutes less than the one before that. Looks like you’ll be recovering real soon.”
Gao Yi sat up, and his clothes were all drenched. He was uncomfortable. He walked past Chu Lui and opened the door to the washroom.
Chu Lui took no notice and walked out. Actually, he himself did not know what he was doing
He was obviously his love rival, obviously someone he could not wait for him to die; and yet he still helped him.
Was this not ridiculous?
Suddenly, his phone rang. He held it and saw it was Du Jingtang. He placed his phone by his ear and walked to the sofa to sit. Not only Gao Yi, but he was beat as well.
He flung his aching arm. Packing a delivery was already not easy, let alone packing a person-a man that would go crazy anytime.
“Brother, when are you coming back?”
There was a thermometer in Du Jingtang’s mouth, and a fever patch on his forehead. One of his hands was on a drip, and there was a large ulcer on his mouth. All of this was caused by him being heaty.
“What happened?” Chu Lui leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes, breathing lightly.
“Brother, if you don’t come back soon, I’m going to die.”
Du Jingtang threw the document he was holding onto the floor.
“I can’t take this anymore. Fuck. This CEO position is not for humans. Every day, there are bound to be matters cropping up here or there. I don’t even have time to drink water. Tell me, how exactly did you do this?”
“Just like that.” Chu Lui had indeed forgotten how he was holding onto that position. He just got used to it, or perhaps he was born for that position, born to be a businessman.
The busier his work got and the more challenging it was, the more excited he became. Of course, someone with the IQ of Du Jingtang would never understand.
Du Jingtang touched his burning forehead.
“My brother, come back please. I can’t take it anymore. Are you trying to kill me?”
“I know.” Chu Lui hung up. Yes, he did know; but even if he knew, it did not mean he was going back. Anyway, even without him, the company would not collapse immediately so he was not too worried.
Gao Yi rubbed his forehead and walked out. He looked much better than the past, but he was still very skinny. No one knew how long it would take to gain back the weight he lost.
He flicked his wrist, and on it, there were deep lines of rope burns.
He sat down, and his eyes were still a bit dark.
“Do you hate her?” Chu Lui asked him lightly.
“Can I not?” Every minute of Gao Yi’s every type of suffering. Every scar he had from this was all because of that woman, because of the Bai family. How could he not hate them?
Chu Lui was not too interested in what Gao Yi had gone through. He folded his legs and wanted to take out a cigarette out of habit, but he found out that he did not have any.
Gao Yi opened the drawer beside him and threw a pack of cigarettes and a lighter over.
“It’s local, just take it.”
“Thanks.” Chu Lui took the lighter and cigarette and walked out. There was not much interaction between the two as they were honestly just acquaintances.
However, they weirdly had a twist of fate.
What a pity, they were born to be enemies. Chu Lui’s wife and child would sadly be taken over by Gao Yi in the future. Towards this kind of ending, the Chu Lui of the Chu Enterprise, the one who looked far and wide and did not care about anyone else… it was something he could not accept nor tolerate.
Just why was he here?
Because the two most important women in his life were here.
Gao Yi opened his eyes once again and felt aches throughout his body. His eyes were clearer than ever, and it was as if he had seen something else, but it was over in a flash.
He opened the drawer, and on his wrist, there was still the bruise from the rope burns. It had been months, but they did not go away. No one knew when or how this would ever end.
However, at least he was getting better day by day; like now, he had already slowly recovered his senses. Both Wei Lan and Xia Ruoxin were relieved—as compared to the past, he was a lot better.
When he acted up, the pain he felt was less than before; and the duration of which he was sane was also longer.
His drug addiction became smaller, and the duration of his attacks had become longer. Of course, his suffering had also decreased.
One day after another, ten days had past; and after half a month, from having an attack three times a day, to twice… to only once. He was almost normal.
He looked better than ever, and his body was slowly recovering.
He would be better in a while.
At that moment, he was sitting around watching television with Rainy. Rainy still loved her daddy the most, but not Chu Lui. When she called for Chu Lui, she only called him ‘Uncle’-a very unfamiliar ‘Uncle’. To her, Gao Yi was her father that she loved the most, the father that saved her… and Chu Lui was not.
