Chu Chenan was dazzled by his swaying. His eyelids drooped, his eyes were still dull and confused. He frowned and muttered, "Don't sway."
He reached closer to Qin Jue again, closed his eyes, hugged his neck, and fell asleep.
Qin Jue supported his back. The severe pain in his head distracted his thoughts. The unknown irritability and uneasiness made him hug Chu Chenan even tighter.
The broken and strange memories reappeared in his mind. Every moment of the memory had the shadow of Chu Chenan. This was a memory that he remembered deeply. Even if he had lost his memory, it still made him feel a dull pain in his heart.
What on earth is…
What on earth did he forget...
Qin Jue's knuckles turned white and his thoughts were in a mess. He frowned and relaxed for a long time before he carried Chu Chenan back to the hotel room.
He wiped Chu Chenan's face with a hot towel. Chu Chenan slept very quietly, and would turn over slightly and continue sleeping with a corner of the quilt between his legs.
Qin Jue's fingertips stroked the side of his face, lingering between his eyebrows. He stared at this face for a long time. The more he looked, the stronger the feeling of uneasiness and possessiveness in his heart became.
He kissed Chu Chenan between the eyebrows and held him in his arms through the quilt.
...
...
Chu Chenan was held so tightly that he could hardly turn over. He hummed in dissatisfaction in his sleep, leaned against Qin Jue's neck, found a restrained position and continued to sleep.
Late at night.
In the dim office, Qin Jue sat at the table and looked through the documents on the table. In the folders on top were his detailed medical records and hospitalization records from the past few years.
When he turned to a day three years ago, the record page was blank.
The lit cigar was placed on the ashtray, and wisps of white smoke lingered in the dim air.
Three years ago, I was in a car accident and fell into the sea.
The records of all this were so logical that he never had any doubts.
Qin Jue chuckled in the darkness, and there was a hint of relief mixed in with his gloomy hostility.
In the basement.
A burly man with tattoos on his arms was hanging in the air, with many scabbed and reopened wounds on his body. His mouth was full of blood foam and he was missing an ear.
Half of his head was covered in blood, and he was still breathing hard, mumbling mechanically, "I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore... Please give me another chance... I really didn't think of betraying you... I really don't dare anymore..."
As he spoke, the strong man began to sob and cry, and kept asking the person on the main seat for help.
But no one responded to his pleas. He was pinned down by two bodyguards, and a professional medical worker held a scalpel, ready to cut off his other ear.
“No… no no ahhhhhhhhhh!!! No.”
The sharp howling sound echoed in the basement, making people's scalps numb.
Qin Jue sat on the sofa in the middle, leisurely and watching the whole process.
Butler Borrick stood beside him, sweat dripping from his temples. He spoke in Chinese with a trembling foreign accent, "Sir, did he make any mistakes?"
Qin Jue glanced at Borrick, "He sold the internal currency information of the East Coast half a month ago, causing nine people to be killed in the explosion in the East Coast warehouse. Do you think my punishment is too excessive?"
Borrick's heart tightened and he shook his head, "No, I'm not questioning you."
"Rather than killing him, I'd rather make him live a life worse than death. Cut off his ears today, nose tomorrow, and arm the day after tomorrow... I want him to watch his flesh diminish little by little every day. Only then will I be able to vent my hatred." Qin Jue took a sip of wine, "Borrick, what I hate most is someone betraying me."
Borrick was terrified when he heard this. The sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks and there was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.
"You have been in the Qin family for more than thirty years, right?" Qin Jue narrowed his eyes, admiring the blood flowing on the hanging platform in front of him.
Borrick: "Yes, Master."
Qin Jue wiped his hands with a handkerchief, stood up, patted Borrick on the shoulder, smiled at him, and said, "I hope this day won't come to you."
Borrick opened his eyes wide, his blue pupils trembling, full of tension and fear.
"Stay here until the afternoon and come up to enjoy the view."
After saying that, he casually placed the handkerchief in Borrick's hand and turned to leave the basement.
Tick-tick.
The weak wailing sounded again in the basement.
Blood continued to drip onto the chains.
Borrick's hand holding the handkerchief trembled slightly. He stared fixedly in the direction where Qin Jue left and swallowed hard.
…
When Chu Chenan woke up, he found himself lying in a huge bedroom. The bedroom was decorated exquisitely and luxuriously, and the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling was dazzling.
He rubbed his eyes and sat up. After looking around, he realized that he was in Qin Jue's presidential suite.
No one knew where Qin Jue had gone.
He had no recollection of how he got back last night.
He got up and dragged himself into the bathroom, squeezed some toothpaste onto a disposable toothbrush, and began brushing his teeth with his eyes closed. He was still a little sleepy, his eyelashes were long and distinct like butterfly wings, and his hair was messy.
Chu Chenan was in a daze, and when he was halfway through brushing, he suddenly felt someone hugging his waist tightly from behind.
Chu Chenan's hand paused, he opened his eyes and looked up. Qin Jue was behind him, with his arms around him.
"Baby, you will live with me from now on." Qin Jue kissed his cheek and said, "I like the feeling of waking up every morning and seeing you."
Chu Chenan ignored him, brushed his other teeth carefully, and asked hastily, "Why did I come to your place yesterday?"
"I'm still talking." Qin Jue buried his face in Chu Chen'an's shoulder, sniffing his fragrance, "You were drunk yesterday, and I brought you back."
Chu Chenan blushed and said "Oh", then pushed him gently, "I want to brush my teeth, you go out first."
Qin Jue still held him tightly and insisted on watching him finish.
Chu Chenan smelled a little rust on Qin Jue, but it was not too obvious, so he paused.
This pervert is doing something murderous and arsonish again.
He quickly speeded up the washing process and made way for Qin Jue.
Qin Jue unbuttoned his black shirt. His skin was wheat-colored, and his eight abdominal muscles were faintly visible. He had a strong body and exuded an extremely charming hormonal aura.
Chu Chenan was stunned for a moment.
He just glanced at Qin Jue's abdominal muscles for a few more seconds before Qin Jue shamelessly grabbed his hand.
Qin Jue pulled Chu Chenan's little hand and touched his abdomen, saying, "Let's wash together."
Chu Chenan quickly retracted his hand with red ears and ran out of the bathroom.
shameless.
Chu Chenan came to the door of the room and tried several times to open it but failed, so he had to sit back on the sofa and watch the news.
The news on TV was about the departure time of Star Line announced today, as well as the growth rate of Star Group’s stock in the past week.
As the sound of water running in the bathroom began, Chu Chenan turned on his mobile phone and Jiang Lin sent him a message: Chenan, the ship is setting sail tomorrow, let's go together.
Chu Chenan replied: No, our room numbers are different, just contact me when you take action.
Jiang Lin replied: It’s okay, I bought you an extra ticket, it’s in the room next to mine, and we are a couple now, it will be more convenient if we act together as a couple.
The sound of water in the bathroom stopped.
Chu Chenan glanced back at the bathroom door and quickly typed a reply: No need.
After he deleted the chat history with Jiang Lin, the bathroom door opened immediately.
The nurse sent him a message: Cheng Hao had been transferred to the general ward this morning.
He opened the chat page with Cheng Hao, the care worker.
The nurse just sent him a message: Cheng Hao had been transferred to the general ward this morning.
Chu Chen felt relieved and replied: Okay, I'll come see him later.
Qin Jue walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe with his clothes wide open, and sat down next to Chu Chenan.
He glanced at Chu Chenan's phone screen, "What were you talking about just now, with Jiang Lin?"
"No." Chu Chenan said, "I'm going to the hospital to see my friend who is in the hospital."
"What friend?" Qin Jue frowned, a trace of hostility flashed in his eyes, and said reluctantly, "Let you run back and forth like this."
Before Qin Jue got angry, Chu Chenan quickly explained, "It's just one of my college classmates. He just had surgery last night and there's no one to take care of him."
Qin Jue's anger faded a little, and he hugged him tenderly and kissed him, "Okay, let's have breakfast first."
Chu Chenan nodded: "Yes."
After breakfast, Chu Chenan pointed to the door and said, "Open the door for me."
As soon as he reached the door, Qin Jue pressed him against the wall and kissed him passionately for a long time.
After a long time, Qin Jue let him go and unlocked the door with his fingerprint.
Chu Chenan's lips were swollen and red from being kissed. Just as he was about to turn around, he was pulled back by Qin Jue.
Chu Chenan thought he was really annoying, "What's the matter?"
As soon as Chu Chenan finished speaking, a black coat was put on him.
His eyes froze as he watched Qin Jue carefully adjust his collar and zip it up.
Qin Jue pinched his cheek fiercely and said, "Come back soon."
Chu Chenan felt a little sweet in his heart and said "Oh".
He had just taken a few steps when Qin Jue called him again, "An An."
Chu Chenan turned around, "Hmm?"
"Actually, you like me too, right?" Qin Jue leaned against the door, staring at him sharply.
Chu Chenan lowered his eyes when Qin Jue looked at him. His heart beat faster and he blushed without saying a word.
Qin Jue's sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through him at a glance.
"Break up with that Jiang guy after you come back." Qin Jue said, "I want to be with you."
Qin Jue's tone didn't sound like he was asking for Chu Chenan's opinion, but more like he was informing him. Qin Jue always means what he says. He is completely paranoid and will achieve his goals no matter what.
He looked at Chu Chenan with determination, and waved goodbye to him slowly.
"My baby, come back soon."
Chu Chenan nodded, said nothing, turned and walked to the stairwell.
I felt uneasy about the way things were going.
When I came downstairs, Qin Jue's black Maybach was already parked at the gate.
It was obvious that Qin Jue had arranged it in advance.
The driver opened the door for him in a well-trained manner, and Chu Chenan had no choice but to get in the car.
After arriving at the hospital, he found the ward where Cheng Hao was.
When he arrived at the door of the ward, his steps suddenly stopped.
The door of the ward was wide open and Zhou Qiangshan was there.
"I'm sorry, Haohao. It's my negligence. I made you suffer. I didn't know there was still a blade that hadn't been taken out. Really, you have to believe me. It must have been very painful, right? Why didn't you tell me when you came to the hospital yesterday? I was so heartbroken." He held a bowl of white porridge and tried to please Cheng Hao in every way, "Come, have some porridge to moisten your skin."
Cheng Hao's lips were white and cracked, and he said indifferently, "I can't eat yet."
His intestines were still rotten.
"Oh, I totally forgot. Look at my memory."
Zhou Qiangshan put down the porridge and said, "Haohao, since you are fine, you can be discharged from the hospital today. The ship can sail tomorrow."
Cheng Hao frowned in pain and said weakly, "It still hurts a lot."
Zhou Qiangshan's eyes flashed with impatience, and he said, "You were fine so many times before, why are you crying out in pain this time? Don't you like pain?"
Zhou Qiangshan's words showed that he disliked Cheng Hao for being pretentious.
"Besides, a ship ticket cost me seven or eight thousand," Zhou Qiangshan said in a slow tone, "We can't waste such an expensive ticket, Haohao."
Cheng Hao frowned, turned sideways and closed his eyes, "I understand, you can go back."
Zhou Qiangshan's eyes were full of impatience, and he said, "Okay, then hurry up and pack your things and come back at noon, don't delay."
Cheng Hao: “…”
He half-closed his eyes, and there was no life in them, like dead water.
Zhou Qiangshan snorted softly and muttered as he walked, "You're almost dead and still so hypocritical. If I hadn't seen that you were dying, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to you."
He ran into Chu Chenan shortly after he walked out of the ward.
His disgusted look immediately changed its meaning, and he pronounced his name awkwardly: "Chu...Chu Chenan, why are you here? Are you here to see Cheng Hao?"
Zhou Qiangshan smiled obscenely and looked at him straight.
"Yeah." Chu Chenan nodded, suppressing the disgust in his heart.
"By the way, thank you for sending Cheng Hao to the hospital last night." Zhou Qiangshan looked at Chu Chenan's face with a squinting look and said, "Let me buy you a cup of coffee. Don't you also want to join this circle? I can also introduce you to someone else."
"Okay." Chu Chenan smiled and nodded, not rejecting his ambiguity, "Then contact me at noon."
Zhou Qiangshan was a little surprised. He smiled and rubbed his hands, "Okay."
Chu Chenan nodded.
After he passed Zhou Qiangshan, the smile on his face disappeared instantly and he walked straight into the ward.
Chu Chenan came to the bedside and asked softly, "Cheng Hao, are you feeling better?"
Cheng Hao turned his head slightly and panted weakly, "Hmm...it doesn't hurt as much as yesterday."
Although he said so, Chu Chenan felt that he was still in pain.
"Zhou Qiangshan just came here." Cheng Hao said, "He said the ship can set sail tomorrow."
"Yeah." Chu Chenan hesitated in his heart. After considering it for a while, he decided to say it out loud. "Yesterday I heard from the doctor that...the special medicine he gave you was a fake one."
Cheng Hao was a little unconvinced and said, "How is that possible? My wound healed very quickly after I took the medicine that day."
Chu Chenan said, "That's just a temporary cure. Once the healing period is over, the injury will rebound. That might be why you were in so much pain yesterday."
Cheng Hao lowered his eyes and clenched his hands, "Maybe he bought the wrong one."
"Cheng Hao, he doesn't deserve your love." Chu Chenan said, "If he loved you, he wouldn't let you suffer so much. This kind of hurt is not love at all. Cheng Hao, have you ever thought about leaving him?"
"If it wasn't for love, I would have left him long ago." Cheng Hao said with red eyes, "In fact, I integrated into this circle just for him, just to be able to be with him better."
Chu Chenan understood.
Cheng Hao longed for death, but at the same time he longed to be loved.
Between the two contradictory options, he could only choose the cruelest one.
He wants to offer his body to receive the short-lived but long-desired love before the pain of death comes.
"But do you really love him?" Chu Chenan said, "Maybe you just rely on him?"
Cheng Hao's eyes were red and he didn't reply yet. He just lowered his head and remained silent.
After a long while, he choked up and said, "Thank you for last night, Chen An."
"You're welcome." Chu Chenan felt that he had said too much, so he stood up and said, "Then you should have a good rest first, I'll come to see you in the afternoon."
Cheng Hao nodded, "Okay."
As soon as Chu Chenan walked out of the hospital gate, he drove away the black Maybach and sent a message to Zhou Qiangshan: Let's meet now, I'm at XX cafe.
…
As he expected, Zhou Qiangshan came to the appointment soon and Chu Chenan ordered two cups of coffee.
Chu Chenan deliberately found a remote location.
Zhou Qiangshan only took a sip of coffee and got straight to the point, "Why do you want to join this circle?"
Chu Chenan was prepared and said, "I have depression and I always want to die."
Zhou Qiangshan laughed and rubbed his hands. "Then you have found the right person. I can definitely help you. I can help you get rid of it, and also make your death worthwhile."
Zhou Qiangshan began his brainwashing tactics.
"We have a lot of people here who need you. You're so pretty, you'll definitely be very popular." Zhou Qiangshan continued, "And more importantly, you can trust me completely."
Chu Chenan turned on the recorder hidden in his pocket and listened to Zhou Qiangshan continue to say ambiguously, "I have rich experience. If we become partners in the future, I can make you feel no pain and even give you pleasure from it."
Chu Chenan felt extremely ironic.
Cheng Hao was in so much pain that he was admitted to the ICU last night, and Zhou Qiangshan actually dared to speak here better than he could sing.
"But you and Cheng Hao are still together." Chu Chenan said.
"He will die soon, probably a few days after he gets on board the ship." Zhou Qiangshan thought he had a chance and said hurriedly, "If you want, I can make him die earlier."
Chu Chenan clenched his hands, "Why on the ship?"
Zhou Qiangshan said: "Every year we hold a party, this time on a ship. Many people will volunteer to die that day, including Cheng Hao."
In fact, Cheng Hao never said that he wanted to die on the ship.
Chu Chenan asked: "Is it all voluntary?"
Zhou Qiangshan nodded, "Of course, we won't force anyone to die. That's against the law. We will only do our best to help them and let them leave with value."
The value Zhou Qiangshan mentioned was to let those on the death list contribute their bodies so that those who called themselves butchers could feast on them...
Chu Chenan didn't want to stay any longer, so he put away the recorder and said, "I'm going back first."
"You left so soon, let's talk for a while longer," said Zhou Qiangshan.
Chu Chenan estimated the time and found that he had been out of the sight of the Maybach for two hours.
The driver might be here soon.
"No, let's talk another day." Chu Chenan stood up and said.
Zhou Qiangshan clung to him, holding his hand to prevent him from leaving. "Don't leave so quickly. We can go to the hotel across the street and let you experience it first. You will definitely like it after you try it..."
Chu Chenan quickly broke free from his hand and said, "No need."
He turned around and took a few steps before he saw Qin Jue standing outside the transparent glass door.
Qin Jue was wearing a white shirt and neat black suit pants. He had one hand in his trouser pocket and was looking inside leisurely. His eyes were dark and sharp.
Chu Chenan's heart immediately panicked.
He was not sure at all when Qin Jue would come.
He pushed open the glass door and walked towards Qin Jue, his steps seeming to weigh a thousand pounds.
Qin Jue stretched out his hand and put his arm around his shoulders, "Is that the friend you mentioned?"
"No, my friend's name is Cheng Hao." Chu Chenan was worried that Qin Jue would be furious, so he explained, "He is Cheng Hao's boyfriend. I helped Cheng Hao yesterday, and his boyfriend just wanted to buy me a cup of coffee to thank me."
"Oh, I see." Qin Juechen said with a smile, "Then you get in the car first, baby, I'll go say hello to him."
"Ah?" Chu Chenan blinked hurriedly and whispered, "No, that's not necessary."
Qin Jue patted his shoulder and said, "Go ahead, I'll be there soon."
Chu Chenan had no choice but to get in the car. He looked towards the entrance of the coffee shop through the car window.
Zhou Qiangshan just walked out of the coffee shop and bumped into the tall Qin Jue.
Zhou Qiangshan looked at the man in front of him with a terrifyingly powerful aura. He hesitated for half a second, then immediately put on a smile, "Boss Qin! Boss Qin, why are you here? Are you free? Would you be so kind as to let me treat you to a meal?"
Qin Jue raised his eyebrows, "Do you know me?"
Zhou Qiangshan: "You forgot, I was at your product launch last year! My last name is Zhou, Zhou Qiangshan, and I'm the sales manager of the xx company branch."
Qin Jue had no impression and didn't care, "Oh, you."
Zhou Qiangshan smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Boss Qin, you..."
Before he could finish his words, Qin Jue grabbed his collar. He was frightened by Qin Jue's gloomy look.
Qin Jue came close to him, twisting his neck with enough force to break it, and said softly with a sneer, "Hey, I heard that you like to eat human flesh?"
Zhou Qiangshan's smile froze, "What did you say?"
Qin Jue laughed a few more times, and his smile made Zhou Qiangshan nervous.
"Aren't our Chen An and your boyfriend college classmates? Let's have dinner together some other day."
Zhou Qiangshan was sweating coldly and said hurriedly, "Okay, okay."
After he watched Qin Jue's car leave, he was blocked by a van. He was masked, and several people put him in the car, threw him into a dark alley and beat him up.
Zhou Qiangshan fell to the ground dying and vomited a lot of blood.
He lost two index fingers and broke three ribs.
…
Qin Jue took Chu Chenan to a restaurant outside for lunch before returning to the hotel. Chu Chenan had a very full lunch and felt sleepy again not long after returning to the hotel.
When Qin Jue came to the living room after the video conference, Chu Chenan had already fallen asleep on the sofa.
Qin Jue curled the corners of his lips slightly, hugged Chu Chenan in his arms, and covered him with a quilt. Qin Jue lowered his head and carefully described Chu Chenan's incredibly beautiful facial features. The more he looked, the sweeter his heart became.
It seemed as if they had been in love for a long time.
He stroked Chu Chenan's eyebrows with his fingertips, and after looking at him for a long time, he kissed him on the forehead.
"If you want to eat, give it to me, but I can't bear to eat you."
He has to hide it well.
…
Qin Jue came to the basement.
In the cold and damp room, Borrick knelt under the platform and watched the bloody scene for six hours.
The hung man with tattooed arms had been bleeding profusely since his ears were cut off. He kept groaning in pain, wailing, and begging for death...
Every minute and every second of these six hours was extremely difficult.
Borrick's lips trembled. The first time he saw Qin Jue, he said, "Sir, I did lie to you. Please forgive me."
Qin Jue curled his lips in satisfaction, "What did you lie to me about?"
"I concealed the real reason for your car accident." Borrick trembled, his legs numb from kneeling, "...You had a lover three years ago, his name was Chen An. You loved him very much, but he unfortunately passed away, and his body was preserved intact by you."
Qin Jue's smile suddenly disappeared, and he said gloomily, "Where is it? Take me there now."
Borrick limped to turn on the light in the basement and stopped in front of an iron door. After unlocking it with his fingerprint, the iron door opened automatically.
This is a cold storage room with a huge ice coffin placed inside.
He saw clearly the familiar person lying in the ice coffin. Although the person lying inside was only 60% similar to the current Chu Chenan, he could recognize him with certainty at a glance.
They are the same person.
The word "death" was like a sharp blade, piercing deep into his heart.
He opened his eyes wide, and countless complicated and familiar memories flooded in one after another. Countless phantoms of Chu Chenan flashed before his eyes.
There is the look when he cries, the look when he laughs, the look when he is angry, and the look when he stands in the snow...
Sudden.
Qin Jue smoothed his black hair from his forehead to the back, and the messy hair brushed over his brow bone. He sat down with his body hunched, his eyes wide open in a daze.
He remembered it all.
It was indeed very cold that day, and Chu Chenan actually held an umbrella for him.
He stood on tiptoe awkwardly and gave him half of the umbrella.
…
There was a light red wound on the abdomen of the lying man. Qin Jue raised his hand with red eyes and touched him through the ice coffin.
His An An was once stabbed.
It must be very painful.
His baby is usually so afraid of pain.
Qin Jue laughed out loud, and the short laugh echoed in the cold room. Then a tear fell from the corner of his eye.
Borrick looked at Qin Jue. He had never seen Qin Jue cry since Qin Jue could remember.
this time.
Qin Jue actually cried.
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Qin Jue's eyes were filled with anger, and he casually threw the iron chair beside him towards the wall next to Borrick. After a loud "bang", the iron chair was smashed into pieces.
An iron rod hit Borrick's back, and Borrick groaned in pain, "I'm sorry, Master. It was...your grandfather who asked me to keep it secret."
Qin Jue took a deep breath and turned away eagerly. At this moment, he only wanted to see Chu Chenan.
