Chapter 91 Both of them have gone mad

Even though Xie Li knew that Yan Yu cared about Shen Jin, he never imagined that Yan Yu would treat him like this for Shen Jin's sake, leaving him with no dignity whatsoever, and tormenting him like this, as if his dignity had been trampled into the ground.

Xie Li was unable to accept it and felt that he had already broken down. If he continued to be treated like this, he might really go crazy. After all, wasn't everything he did for Yan Yu?

If it weren't for him, why would I have done those things!

Xie Li took it all for granted, blaming everything on Shen Jin and Yan Yu. She felt that she had done such a hateful thing because of Yan Yu, and that if it weren't for Shen Jin in the first place, there wouldn't have been so much trouble!

"Why?!" Xie Li's eyes were bloodshot and wide open as he roared hysterically, "Why? Why? Why?! Why can you treat me like this for someone I've known for less than a year?!"

His roar was tinged with sobs, as if he was about to shout himself hoarse. His face was contorted with rage, and he was filled with immense resentment, grievances, and a vicious, ruthless hatred that he had no outlet for, as if it were tearing his heart apart!

He couldn't understand it. Why?! Whether it was that idiot Shen Jin or Yan Yu, why did they treat him like this? Why did he have to suffer this treatment?!

"Why don't you know?! You deserve it! I've been so good to you, and you've treated me like a fool, making a fool of me! Now you're telling me why?!" Yan Yu roared, pulling Xie Li's head in front of him. "How dare you yell at me like that!"

Yan Yu felt that he was a twisted madman. If he liked someone and wanted to be good to them, he could spoil them unconditionally. But once he no longer wanted to be good to that person or had no feelings for them, that person would become a non-human species in his heart.

I don't need dignity, I don't need love, I don't need anything. I just need to torture him terribly, make him suffer unbearably, and then I can vent my anger. That should be enough.

It's a pity that he's been so good to Xie Li for so many years, and only now has he realized that Xie Li has been playing him for a fool. He feels very angry and sincerely feels that these few slaps are enough to make up for all the good he's done for Xie Li over the years and for Xie Li's deception.

Thinking this, Yan Yu raised his hand again and slapped Xie Li's swollen face hard on the other side, causing Xie Li to bleed from the nose, his eyes to glaze over, and he was somewhat unable to react.

Xie Li felt his world suddenly go silent, with only the ringing in his ears. The flashes of slaps resurfaced in his mind, making him forget when he, who had always been pampered, had ever been treated like this...

"...What do you take me for?" Xie Li's voice was hoarse, tears streaming from her swollen eyes. She choked out, "I did all this for this reason! And now you're treating me like this!"

Xie Li felt like he was going crazy. He had never been humiliated like this before and was on the verge of collapse. He bared his teeth and claws and tried to grab Yan Yu, trying to push him away: "Let go of me!"

He felt as if Yan Yu's hand, gripping his head, was about to rip his hair out, ignoring the pain and torment on his scalp, wanting only to vent all his anger on him.

Enraged to the extreme, Yan Yu really wanted to strangle Xie Li. He roared in a hoarse voice, "Tell me now! What else are you hiding from me! Tell me everything!"

Xie Li burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably. Between sobs, she suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, clutching her hair and screaming in a piercing, broken voice, "Aaaaaaah!!"

The scream was so loud that Yan Yu was startled. He immediately covered Xie Li's mouth, then kicked him aside in anger, yelling, "I didn't even scream, and you still have the nerve to scream?! You think you're the one who's wronged?!"

Xie Li was kicked and staggered to the ground. He had been slapped several times and had his hair pulled by Yan Yu, and now he was in a terrible state, almost unable to stand up. He had completely lost his usual elegant demeanor.

Beaten and kicked, treated like trash, Xie Li felt he had gone mad. At this point, he didn't care anymore and screamed at the top of his lungs, "Yes! That's right, I did it all! I did it all!"

"I had Shen Jin's dilapidated house smashed up! Then, when he was chased up the mountain and disappeared, it was my men who chased him! And when he was ambushed at the door later, it was my men who did it! And back at the hospital! I was the one who pushed Shen Jin out! It was me! It was me who did all the bad things! Are you satisfied now?!"

Xie Li felt there was nothing left to hide now, since there was no evidence for these things anyway. He was so angry and embarrassed that he became reckless.

After yelling, ignoring Yan Yu's increasingly embarrassed expression, he staggered to his feet and laughed loudly, asking, "Now you know! So what? Are you going to beat me to death for Shen Jin or what? Or do you want to stab me to vent your anger?!"

Yan Yu was furious. He hadn't expected that Xie Li would not only show no remorse or regret, but would also be so self-righteous. His anger burned even more fiercely, and he roared, "Xie Li!"

Xie Li, filled with murderous intent, felt like he had gone mad. He looked at him mockingly with his bloodshot eyes: "What! Do you dare?! Come on! Avenge your Shen Jin!"

There was a table next to the hospital bed, with some fresh flowers, fruit, and a fruit knife on it.

Before Yan Yu could react, Xie Li burst into laughter, grabbing the fruit knife with lightning speed like a madman. The sharp blade flashed with a blinding cold light as he shoved the knife at Yan Yu, yelling and crying, "Come on! Stab me! Stab me! Stab me all you want!"

Caught off guard, Yan Yu had a cold fruit knife shoved into his hand. His fingertips trembled slightly. Looking at Xie Li in front of him, he roared furiously, "Are you crazy?! Do you want to die that badly?!"

"Didn't you want to avenge your Shen Jin?!" Xie Li roared, "We've had over ten years of friendship! Over ten years of camaraderie, and you treat me like this for some bitch you've known for less than a year! Aren't you angry? You're beating and kicking me? If you have the guts, then stab me in the heart!"

Yan Yu was trembling with rage and slapped Xie Li across the face, sending him flying: "You madman! You think I can't do anything to you just because you're throwing your weight around like this?!"

Yan Yu threw the fruit knife he was holding aside, grabbed Xie Li, and kicked him hard, sending Xie Li crashing into the corner. Xie Li was covered in bruises and his face was swollen and bruised. He sat down on the ground without even trying to dodge, and started crying while holding his head.

His crying was silent, like a broken heart, like despair, with only tears flowing continuously. Yet Yan Yu in front of him remained unmoved, still punching and kicking for someone else.

At that moment, Xie Li felt a chill in his heart.

He thought blankly, "So this feeling is so pathetic and ridiculous..."

The commotion eventually alerted the people outside. The doctor quickly separated the two of them, forcibly administered anesthesia to Yan Yu, and then sent Xie Li to another ward.

As Yan Yu's vision blurred, he heard Wan Cheng angrily cursing in his ear: "Do you know what you're doing?! You bastard! Do you have any conscience at all?! How can you treat him like this?!"

These words had no effect on Yan Yu. Surprisingly, he remained completely unmoved, eerily calm. His eyes were unfocused as he stared at the ceiling, and he opened his mouth: "...I'm a bastard, I learned it from you..."

In response, Yan Cheng raised his hand and slapped him twice without hesitation. Before the anesthetic could take effect, he was knocked unconscious by his father.

In the instant he lost consciousness, Yan Yu felt a burning pain in his hand. Only then did he belatedly realize that it was the pain he felt when he hit Xie Li…

After more than a decade of being together and several years of budding affection, it seems like it's all just... abruptly ended...

He thought, "So he can be this cruel to Xie Li... The person he once cherished like a treasure has become trash in the blink of an eye, beaten and kicked by him. If he has no feelings for Shen Jin in the future... can he treat him the same way?"

Yan Yu felt somewhat exhausted, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Only one thought remained, exceptionally clear: "I really am a twisted bastard..."

Although he had fainted, Xie Li, who had been beaten into the hospital, was unusually lucid. His whole body ached, and he let the doctor treat his injuries, staring blankly at the ceiling.

At this moment, Xie Li's mind was filled with only one thought: "Is this how you treat me..."

Seeing him like this, the nurse felt a little sorry for him, sighed softly, and said in a low voice, "Young Master Xie, you should rest for a while and close your eyes."

She had seen Xie Li a few times and knew that he was very handsome, but now he was bruised and swollen... he looked quite pitiful, and his eyes were much dimmer, as if they had lost their luster.

Hearing the nurse's words, Xie Li slightly moved her eyes, gently shifting them to the nurse. She saw a mixture of pity and helplessness in her eyes, making Xie Li think, "Yan Yu, look, even others know to feel sorry for me, but how could you do this to me..."

When you hit me, it hurt so much... It was a pain I'd never experienced before since I was a child... It was so painful I could hardly breathe, my heart went numb, and it gradually made me despair.

Finally, Xie Li closed his unfocused eyes, moved his lips, and uttered two words with difficulty to the nurse: "It's... okay..."

He gave a faint, somewhat pale, relieved smile.

Yan Yu, I've thought it through... I'm giving up on you... But if I'm not doing well, you absolutely shouldn't expect to do well either...
