CH 28.4

Shen Jue simply chuckled, appearing nonchalant about the question. 

“We were previously teammates, and now, we’re colleagues. As for what we will be in the future, no one knows. But regardless of what our relationship is, what has it got to do with any of you here? Rather than asking such useless questions, why don’t you make use of the time to interview Chen Ran? I’m afraid all of you won’t be able to see him in the entertainment industry after today.” 

After he said this, he turned around and said, “Security.” 

The security guards in a private hospital were different from those in public hospitals. Besides, the man speaking was their own young master, hence a group of muscular and fierce-looking guards walked up and chased the reporters away like they were little chasing chicks out. 

Shen Jue strode back into the lift.

Once again, Fang Yuan stumbled after him. 

Shen Jue looked at him for a moment. 

Fang Yuan was confused.

Gu Yanshu was lying on the bed quietly.

His face was almost the same colour as the white bedsheets. From his slightly arched back, one could clearly see the curvature of his scapula, like a butterfly that was about to spread its wings, and the red flush at the corner of his eyes made him appear like a fairy. 

Exquisite and pretty, yet frail and pale. 

It was a completely different sight from the man who was alluring and desirable and had dominated the stage just two hours ago. 

Shen Jue touched his forehead. It was still burning hot. 

As though he felt the cooling sensation of Shen Jue’s hand, Gu Yanshu snuggled closer. 

He was incredibly obedient. 

And incredibly seductive. 

Shen Jue touched his face, then sighed. “Gu Yanshu, tell me. What’s our relationship now?”

Back then, you were the one who said that we shouldn’t meet again, but you were also the one who was angry that I didn’t go and see you. You were also the one who said you didn’t like men, and you would want to get married, have kids and have a stable life. Yet, you were also the one who sang this song, and I can’t help but think that there’s more to this. 

For a man like you that’s so tiny, why is your heart so difficult to read? 

As Shen Jue recalled the way Gu Yanshu sang the song, he felt his heart ache. 

That desolation, that loneliness, that helplessness, that frustration. Every single note, every single word of the song smashed upon his heart, making his heart ache. If it was only a performance, then Gu Yanshu would be a terrific performer.

If it was sung for others, then he couldn’t imagine what he would do. Who had the ability to gain Gu Yanshu’s love, and yet caused him so much pain? Just the thought of it was driving him mad with jealousy. 

But if, and only if, this song had something to do with him, what should he do? If the person whom he had always wanted to protect was so upset because of him, how should he compensate this person? 

As he mulled over this, Gu Yanshu suddenly whispered, “It hurts.” 

Shen Jue asked softly, “Where does it hurt?” 

“My leg.” 

There was a nasal tone in his voice, like a child who needed some tender care. 

Shen Jue lifted the blanket and saw the deep, crimson gashes on his porcelain-like skin, and his heart began to ache again. 

Even though the wounds had been treated, they still looked scary. 

When Shen Jue saw Gu Yanshu bleeding during his performance, he was already heartbroken. Now that he was looking at how terrifying these wounds were, he really wanted to carry the latter up and give him a good scolding and beating. 

He suddenly regretted being too respectful of Gu Yanshu’s wishes, and being too concerned about Gu Yanshu’s pride. If he had forcefully made the decision for him, all these things wouldn’t have happened. 

Besides, Gu Yanshu really looked extremely attractive on stage, so attractive that he was feeling jealous, because everyone else could see this side of him. 

He had to admit it, the moment he saw Gu Yanshu in shackles, he had a strong desire to possess him.

As he thought about what Gu Yanshu had said before, “We might look back in the past and realise that these shackles might not actually mean anything”, he looked down and held Gu Yanshu’s ankles. 

His fingers gently massaged the wounds, and as he held the bony area in his palm, feeling how weak and brittle it was, an indescribable feeling welled up inside him. 

His gaze darkened. 

He whispered in a hoarse voice, “Gu Yanshu.” 

“Mm.” Gu Yanshu replied in a daze. 

“I’ll lock you up, alright?” 

Since there’s no looking back, and I can’t pull myself out of this, then why should I leave you alone? 

I might just as well become more unreasonable.
