Injection and Chains

Yi Zhize awakened once more, his head in a daze.

He seemed round on the fully unfamiliar setting.

Lifting the covers and stepping barefoot on the carpet, crisp ringing like silver bells resounded within the quiet room.

Yi Zhize seemed down and noticed a silver chain tied round his proper ankle.

The chain was lengthy, stretching to the tip of the hallway column.

That physician, secluded him.

He went to the window and seemed out into the huge blue ocean.

He did not know what sort of drug he had been given, however when he tried to recall the previous, a tingling ache got here to his cranium.

He calmly surveyed the inside of the room and plotted his escape from right here quietly.

The door was gently pushed open and Ou Tingyun approached him.

His smile was mild and his voice nice, as considerate as once they first met: “Ze Ze, you are awake? Are you uncomfortable?”

Yi Zhize had a horrible headache: “Mr. Ou Tingyun, as a lawyer, I inform you that you’re now suspected of unlawful detention.”

“Ze Ze is so cute,” Ou Tingyun’s smile deepened, “We’re in love, aren’t we? I took a month’s depart of absence from the regulation agency for you. I believe a month is sort of sufficient time.”

Yi Zhize turned alert: “What?”

Ou Tingyun placed on gloves and took a tray out of a silver-white cupboard to at least one facet. There have been glass bottles with labelled paper and silver syringes on it, “I will hypnotise you and modify your recollections. Ze Ze, I provides you with a flawless and exquisite reminiscence. Overlook all of the disagreeable issues of the previous, solely the longing to like and maintain one another. Any longer, we’ll by no means be aside.”

Loopy.

Yi Zhize thought to himself.

Merely and totally hopeless.

“Tingyun,” Yi Zhize’s palms broke out in chilly sweat, “I do not suppose that is obligatory.” He struggled to decide on his phrases, making an attempt to achieve an oz of leeway, “Proper now, I am proper right here with you, and I am not going wherever.”

“What about later?” Ou Tingyun inserted the syringe into the glass bottle and the clear liquid was drawn into the syringe.

“And later,” Yi Zhize stated, “I will not depart.”

“That is nice,” Ou Tingyun smiled, “however I am nonetheless frightened, hearken to me Ze Ze, it will not harm.”

Yi Zhize seemed on the physician’s smiling face and concern rose steeply in his coronary heart.

Ou Tingyun moved nearer to him, and Yi Zhize instinctively pushed him away and ran out.

‘Clang!’ It was the sound of the silver chain being pulled violently.

Yi Zhize closed his eyes in despair.

Ou Tingyun gently embraced him from behind: “Ze Ze, do not be afraid, it is going to be okay in a second.”

His physique trembled barely.

The needle reduce by way of the pores and skin and pierced deep into the flesh of his neck.

The chilly liquid flowed into the nice and cozy blood and Yi Zhize’s consciousness steadily blurred…

Abruptly, it was as if he had gone again to that night time in 2002.

It was the rain-filled avenue of Lijing Street.

He was like an ignorant intruder, observing the entire occasion from a 3rd celebration’s perspective.

His mom, Xie Qingmeng, was nonetheless as elegant and mild as he remembered.

She was holding his hand and carrying a white clear umbrella.

“Mummy, I wish to eat walnut pastry!”

“Ze Ze is such a little bit glutton.”

“However it’s actually scrumptious.”

“Watch out of vehicles,” Xie Qingmeng held his hand tightly: “do not be so reckless. When it is raining, keep in mind to be courteous to others. Watch out, do not splash water on others.”

“Okay.”

Xie Qingmeng took his hand and walked previous the pedestrian crossing on Lijing Street.

Do not.

Yi Zhize started to tremble.

Do not go any additional.

Cease!

He shouted, cease!

It was no use.

The black automobile got here nearly as quick as if it was aiming at a goal, ramming laborious into the mom and son.

Virtually immediately, Xie Qingmeng pushed Yi Zhize away.

Stumbling, Yi Zhize tumbled a number of instances, splashing mud and water over his physique.

A heat liquid spilled onto his face.

What’s that?

Yi Zhize seemed up and noticed his mom, a bloodied mess.

The automobile door opened and the motive force was a stunning girl, sporting silver heels.

She approached Yi Zhize and knelt down, her smile chilly: “What a pity.”

She stated, “Why wasn’t it you who died?”

“Now that there are such a lot of folks, it is inconceivable to run you over once more” she sighed and grabbed Yi Zhize’s neck, “Rattling it, it is clearly you.”

Yi Zhize felt suffocated and he started to battle desperately.

Onlookers pulled the frantic lady away, sirens sounded and she or he was handcuffed.

Why?

Yi Zhize thought, why?

He awakened from his dream with a jolt.

At midnight night time, Ou Tingyun wrapped his arms round him, his voice low: “Ze Ze, did you have got a nasty dream?”

His senses regained consciousness and Yi Zhize realised that he was now in a state of affairs the place he was unclothed.

Ou Tingyun was nearly glued to his physique, pores and skin to pores and skin, feeling his need vividly.

Cannot be trapped right here, Yi Zhize thought.

Mu Xin hadn’t lied to him, it had by no means been an accident.

He was going to search out out the reality.

Essentially the most pressing factor at hand, nonetheless, was to regain his freedom.

To get him to belief him.

Yi Zhize thought, it was easy.

No matter he needed, he would give it to him.

It was a,

model new,

searching recreation.

Yi Zhize stated, “Instructor, I dreamt of the previous on Lijing Street.”

Ou Tingyun took him into his arms, “Maybe the medication have stimulated you, do not be afraid. It will likely be like that initially certainly, and slowly, I’ll allow you to to overwrite this previous and provide you with new recollections.”

“Instructor, are you able to please not do that?”

“Not do what?”

“I wish to keep in mind all of this,” Yi Zhize took the initiative and wrapped his arms round his neck, “I wish to keep in mind every part that has occurred with you. Our first encounter, your therapy of me. You have been my salvation, Instructor.”

Ou Tingyun’s breath caught barely and there was shock and remorse in his eyes, “Ze Ze, you…”

“I am on their own on the earth, I’ve nothing else to fret about.” Yi Zhize touched his lips, the tone of his voice chilly however extraordinarily provocative: “You are all I’ve left, Instructor.”

Ou Tingyun was so nervous that his physique trembled, fearing that this was only a fantasy he was dreaming about.

Yi Zhize took the initiative and caressed his aroused need, “Let me maintain the one factor in my reminiscence, Instructor, okay?”

Ou Tingyun’s voice was hoarse as his fingertips rubbed the facet of his lover’s face, dropping a tender kiss on his tear-shaped mole: “Okay.”

“Instructor, I like you.”

“I like you too, Ze Ze.” Ou Tingyun buried his head within the nape of his neck, “Love you very a lot.”

Phrases of lingering love have been spoken, intimate lust was launched.

Throughout the obvious sinking, Yi Zhize was terribly sober.

Paradoxically, he had by no means stated love.

There had been a thousand instances when he had needed to inform him, however ultimately it had been too laborious to take action due to timidity or embarrassment.

Now, for the primary time, he confessed passionately to him, however out of deceit and entrapment.

Why?

Beneath the waves of enjoyment, there was a dense ache in his coronary heart.

After that day, their relationship progressed quickly.

Ou Tingyun handled him with the utmost care and tenderness, 100 instances greater than he ever had earlier than.

Yi Zhize fulfilled nearly all the physician’s expectations.

The 2 learn poetry or performs collectively, watched books and movies on psychology collectively.

They have been immersed in hypnosis, and so they made love passionately.

It was like all of the passionate {couples} on the earth.

Though Ou Tingyun had stopped injecting him with medication, he had refused to unlock the chain that had trapped him.

He couldn’t delay any longer.

Yi Zhize thought that if he stayed like this, he was afraid that he would even be deceived by the phantasm he had created.

He was fully immersed on this false love affair.

He needed to discover a approach to unlock the chain.

Yi Zhize took a porcelain cup off the desk and slammed it on the ground.

Then he fetched a shard and stabbed it violently into his ankle.

A pointy ache seeped into his coronary heart and blood dripped out.

Yi Zhize bit his decrease lip tightly, deepening the reduce that the porcelain piece had made.

Chilly sweat broke out, and purple blood stained the silver chain.

The sound of footsteps rang in his ears from a distance.

The physician, he was again.
