Ou Tingyun stood nonetheless.

Yi Zhize was so engrossed in his work that he did not discover him.

As if he was irritated with himself, Ou Tingyun thought, simply wait three extra seconds, absolutely Ze Ze will see me.

He counted down mentally, very slowly, effectively past the three-second timeframe.

He smiled softly, his face as heat because the wind.

The fantasies in his head, nonetheless, had lengthy been rising like mad.

Wanting all of the individuals surrounding him like flies to vanish.

Desirous to imprison him, to lock him up.

Even,

desirous to kill him.

Ou Tingyun turned in silence, took the elevator again to the bottom ground and threw the fastidiously ready lunch field within the trash.

He returned to his automotive and referred to as Yi Zhize.

It rang and the decision was not answered for a very long time.

He felt suffocated, and tyrannical feelings surged by him.

Stubbornly, he referred to as once more and Yi Zhize’s clear, jade-like voice got here by: “Tingyun.”

Forcing down the agitation in his coronary heart, Ou Tingyun’s voice was light, “Ze Ze, are you busy?”

“A bit of, what is the matter?”

“Nothing, I miss you.”

The lawyer’s low snigger got here to his ears, “We simply met just a few hours in the past.”

“I miss you, Ze Ze, I wish to kiss you.”

“I wish to kiss you, now.”

“Now?”

“I am simply downstairs.”

Yi Zhize walked to the window and peered down, and positive sufficient, he noticed Ou Tingyun’s automotive.

The physician urged, “Ze Ze, I am ready for you.”

In desperation, Yi Zhize might solely cling up the cellphone and discover an excuse to exit the workplace.

Ou Tingyun laughed softly, like a infantile teenager who had succeeded in his tips: “Ze Ze, sit on my lap and do as you are advised, hmm?”

To have him bear my mark.

The physician thought.

Wherever he goes,

he won’t ever have the ability to half with me.

“Your current article within the Annual Assessment of Scientific Psychology has precipitated an enormous response within the educational group.” Xu Kangbin reduce to the chase, “However I’ve additionally heard a variety of gossip and I used to be pondering I ought to method you about it.”

Are these circumstances, in reality, true?”

“It’s solely fictional.” Ou Tingyun instantly denied it, “It is not true.”

“You might be one among my finest college students,” Xu Kangbin poured a cup of tea for Ou Tingyun, “There ought to be no educational stains.”

Ou Tingyun accepted the porcelain cup and took a sip of the tea, which was as bitter because it might be.

“There are fairly just a few individuals within the educational world watching you,” Xu Kangbin patted him on the shoulder, “I am positive you will handle.”

“Please don’t fret.” Ou Tingyun put down his tea and repeated, “I’ll care for it.”

Ou Tingyun returned to his dwelling, went straight to his examine, opened a locked drawer, took out a thick stack of thesis supplies and started writing a report and clarification of the experimental knowledge. At round 9pm, when the clarifications had been prepared, he instantly despatched them to Xu Kangbin.

Yi Zhize got here dwelling from work simply in time for this.

He hadn’t had dinner but and was somewhat hungry.

In line with the previous, the physician ought to have ready a meal way back, anticipating him to style and consider it.

However tonight, he did not see Ou Tingyun.

May he be at work?

Yi Zhize went to the examine and the door was open.

There have been many papers on the desk and the pc display screen was nonetheless lit, so the proprietor had clearly simply left.

Out of concern for tidiness, Yi Zhize couldn’t resist the urge to assist him clear his desk.

As he approached the desk, he noticed the title of an English paper.

Yi Zhize solely took a look at it, however instantly recognised the acquainted time period.

Psychogenic Amnesia.

He vaguely remembered that the physician had advised him that this was the reason for his sickness.

The paper was in English and concerned many tables and phrases that Yi Zhize didn’t learn fastidiously.

The primary drawer, as soon as locked, was open and a notepad was mendacity upright.

Yi Zhize took out the black notepad and flipped it open to learn.

The data dated again to the twelfth of September 2021.

The day they first met.

There have been only some phrases: [New prey]

The second entry was dated 22 September 2021.

They met a second time.

That physician wrote: [The game begins]

Going ahead, the data turned an increasing number of frequent.

From only a few phrases to quite a lot of evaluation and conjecture.

From the minute particulars of his manner, his language, his remedy reflections and even his expressions every time.

Yi Zhize’s blood started to congeal.

Each phrase of those data revealed indifference and conceitedness.

The physician was like a superior controller,

and he was only a doll at his mercy for his experiments.

What a mockery.

The person he thought was his saviour was merely Devil in saintly clothes.

What a mockery.

His dedication and indulgence had been met with chilly analysis and wanton manipulation.

What a mockery.

He could by no means have been invested, in any case…

a farce.

The headache that he hadn’t felt in a very long time struck once more.

Yi Zhize calmly learn by the whole report earlier than placing it again in its rightful place.

His temples had been throbbing, the ache was so intense that his complete physique was numb.

Yi Zhize walked out of the examine and sat on the couch in the lounge.

When Ou Tingyun returned, his smile was as light as ever.

However all he felt was a piercing sensation and a sore ache in his coronary heart.

Ou Tingyun stated, “Ze Ze, are you hungry? I am going to go and prepare dinner for you.”

“Instructor,” Yi Zhize checked out him, “what’s a psychological experiment?”

There was a flash of panic in Ou Tingyun’s eyes, which he rapidly coated up, “Why are you asking this swiftly?”

“The topic of the experiment, code identify Z2109,” Yi Zhize’s tone was detached, “it refers to me, proper?”

Ou Tingyun regarded shocked, then fell into silence.

“Every part you have achieved to me, each step of the best way, was deliberate forward and effectively thought out, wasn’t it?”

“Ze Ze, it isn’t essential.”

“Each phrase of reassurance, each promise, each second of tenderness you made for me was nothing however a rehearsed phantasm, proper?”

“Ze Ze, let’s relax, okay?”

“I am calm,” Yi Zhize’s voice was calm, and he spoke one phrase at a time, “you are having enjoyable with the searching sport, aren’t you?”

“I do not perceive what you are speaking about,” Ou Tingyun stated, enjoying dumb, “Ze Ze, are you drained? Do you wish to take a nap and relaxation for some time?”

“There is no must act anymore.” Yi Zhize received up and gazed into his eyes, “The sport is over.”

“Ze Ze, I used to be flawed.” Ou Tingyun pleaded softly, “Do not make me indignant by saying such inexplicable issues, okay?”

Yi Zhize’s eyes had been frosty and he did not reply, he simply walked in direction of the door.

Ou Tingyun took his wrist, “I am sorry.”

“Dr. Ou,” Yi Zhize stated, “we’re achieved.”
