Yunfei had dismissed all the other servants in the house, leaving only the housekeeper to take care of the two of them for three meals a day at mealtimes. Most of the time, it was just Yunfei and Yunqi at home.
Throughout the day, aside from eating and occasionally replying to Xiao Mo's messages, Yun Qi mostly just cleared her mind and slept a lot... Yun Qi didn't feel particularly unwell...
But in the middle of the night, Yunqi started to feel anxious, sweat, and feel unwell all over...
She knew it was a drug withdrawal episode!
It hurts so much! It feels like bugs are crawling all over my body! Yunqi tossed and turned in discomfort, scratching incessantly, trying to relieve the sensation of the bugs gnawing at her skin!
With a "thud," Yunqi rolled off the bed and onto the floor.
Hearing the commotion, Yunfei immediately came over and saw Yunqi lying on the ground, tossing and turning and struggling. She seemed to be itchy all over and kept scratching herself... Even though she was bleeding, she still kept scratching herself!
Yunfei stepped forward and held Yunqi down, but Yunqi struggled continuously...
Yunfei: "Qiqi! Qiqi! Don't hurt yourself!!"
In a daze, Yunqi seemed to hear her father's voice, but she couldn't make it out clearly: "Daddy... I feel terrible... I feel so terrible..."
Yunqi, who had lost her mind, was surprisingly strong. Yunfei was afraid of hurting her, so he could only wrap her tightly in the quilt and then tie her up with a rope!
Yunqi was still struggling... Fortunately, she was tied up and couldn't hurt herself anymore...
Yunqi could only wreak havoc in rage...
Yunfei watched from the sidelines, his heart breaking... yet utterly powerless to do anything...
Perhaps exhausted from struggling, Yunqi, unable to move, gradually calmed down...
Yunqi, feeling weak after regaining her senses, tried to get up but found herself tightly bound. Looking up, she saw Yunfei standing guard beside her...
Yunfei asked worriedly, "Qiqi... are you alright?"
Yunqi: "Dad, I'm fine... I'm just a little thirsty..."
Yunfei handed Yunqi a glass of water and put a straw in her mouth: "Qiqi, drink some water first."
Yunqi felt a little better after finishing the water, and joked with Yunfei with a smile: "Dad, do I look like a 'zongzi'?"
Unexpectedly, her words, which were just meant to lighten the mood, broke Yunfei's defenses, and Yunfei cried!
It is said that "a man does not easily shed tears, only when he is deeply hurt"...
Yunfei: "Qiqi, it's all Daddy's fault! It's all Daddy's fault!! Daddy is sorry for you! Daddy is sorry for you and Mommy!"
Yunqi: "No! No! Daddy didn't do anything wrong to me! It wasn't Daddy's fault! Daddy, don't blame yourself!"
Yunfei lay beside Yunqi's bed, crying his heart out... Yunqi wanted to comfort him, but after saying a lot, Yunfei acted as if he didn't hear her and just kept crying... She wanted to wipe his tears, but she was tied up like a "dumpling" and couldn't move at all...
Fine, let him cry for a while, consider it a way to vent...
Perhaps feeling ashamed of crying, Yunfei gradually calmed down...
Afraid of embarrassing him, Yunqi quickly said, "Dad, it's a bit uncomfortable being tied up like this. Can you help me untie it?"
Yunfei: "Okay."
After untying Yunqi, they helped her sit up.
Yunqi looked out the window; it was already broad daylight.
This... I've been up all night... No wonder I'm so tired...
Yunqi was covered in sweat and felt sticky. After washing up, she went downstairs, ate something with Yunfei, and then went back to her room to rest.
Yunqi is currently lacking energy, and the thought of another injection tomorrow makes it impossible for her to concentrate on anything.
Last night's withdrawal symptoms were already unbearable enough; if she has to take another injection tomorrow... she'll have to continue facing withdrawal symptoms!
Yunqi didn't dare to think about it anymore. She scrolled through her phone, trying to distract herself.
Her finger slid to Xiao Mo's message; he had sent her a long, rambling account of his day, complete with photos.
Yunqi saved the photo and deliberately kept a distance from Xiao Mo while chatting with him.
On this day, as promised, A Biao brought his two henchmen to give Yunqi her last injection.
Yunqi overcame her fear, without crying or making a fuss, and helped Abiao successfully complete his third injection.
This made Ah Biao look at her in a new light: "My little niece is quite brave today."
Yunqi pretended not to hear, silently withdrew her arm, and hid the needle hole under her sleeve.
Seeing that Yunqi ignored him, A Biao also felt bored and left with his underlings.
Yunqi was hallucinating again; she saw the little red bird again. Unlike last time, this time the bird spoke.
Little Bird (Xiao Qi): [Keep going, Qi Qi! If you persevere, you'll definitely succeed in overcoming your addiction!]
Yunqi reached out and tried to grab at the air, but didn't touch the bird.
Yunqi was in a semi-conscious state at the moment, her mind was not clear, and she felt a little lightheaded...
If the little bird is a figment of my imagination, and it encourages me to quit drugs, then it means that subconsciously I still hope to successfully quit drugs!
Yunqi closed her eyes. No matter what, she had to quit this drug!
Because of this third injection, her cravings came on even more fiercely this time...
When Yunqi sensed something was wrong, she immediately had Yunfei tie her up.
Yunfei knew that once her drug addiction kicked in, she might harm herself! Tying her up would actually minimize the harm to her.
But when Yunfei actually saw Yunqi's drug withdrawal relapse again, he couldn't help but cry...
"Ouch...it hurts so much!..."
"Daddy...it hurts...it hurts...waaaaah..."
Even though she was tied up, Yunqi kept rolling around and crying out, but nothing could ease her pain...
Yunqi kept crying and screaming, saying it itched... it hurt... she was in pain...
"So cold...so cold..."
"It's hot...so hot..."
Yunqi's limbs trembled, her body alternated between hot and cold... and she was covered in cold sweat...
