"But this is not a battlefield." Gu Xingqiao said word by word, "What on earth are you thinking about, you..."
His breathing became heavier. Tianyuan's behavior was unbearable for him, and he couldn't avoid thinking of the months he spent in prison - he suffered in the dark room, and his mental strength was forcibly extracted, which stretched every minute and every second he endured to the limit. It was like being trapped in a sticky swamp. The sinking was slow, but also endless.
In the torture that lasted for days and months, Cecil's advice surged from all directions, entangled him like a thorn in the flesh. He advised Gu Xingqiao to stop struggling, give up thinking, give up the meaningless rebellion, and follow me and my throne like before, isn't that good
As long as you choose this loyal and gentle path, you will never be hurt again, I promise you...
You won't get hurt any more...
Gu Xingqiao's heartbeat suddenly became unbalanced, violently and disorderly hitting his chest, causing his throat to choke and his whole body to tremble. Tianyuan immediately detected this change and wanted to rush to Gu Xingqiao, but the young man just covered his chest and hastily raised an arm to prevent him from getting close to him.
I promise you... As long as you admit your mistakes and admit defeat, the punishment will end here...
"I'm really sorry. I let my blind impulse take over the command center." Tianyuan said quickly, "What's wrong with you? Your body is..."
"... I want to leave here," Gu Xingqiao's face was pale, "Let me calm down... I want to calm down."
You are asking for trouble, Xingqiao. Why would you rather abandon my protection and struggle here in embarrassment? You are asking for trouble...
“Star Bridge…” Tianyuan opened his eyes wide and took a few steps towards him.
"Don't come over here!" Gu Xingqiao roared. He looked in a miserable state, like a wild beast that was forced into a corner by hunters.
Faced with his rare anger, Tianyuan felt as if he was hit on the head with a stick and leaned back unconsciously.
Gu Xingqiao turned and ran as if he was escaping for his life, his steps stumbling. After a moment's pause, he returned to his room and closed the door tightly.
There was silence all around. After an unknown amount of time, Gu Xingqiao lay on the hard floor, staring at the ceiling with a gloomy look.
The situation seemed to have returned to the way it was when he first arrived - he was not seeking death, he just didn't know what else to do while living.
Bacchus, Cecil.
Many times, he didn't want to think about these two names, simply because he wanted to deceive himself for a while. He told himself that as long as he forgot the frustration and difficulties these two brought him, it would mean that he had truly walked out of the shadows they brought and could look forward with full gear.
However, facts told him again and again that this was impossible. The former was your hometown, which gave you bones, blood and soul, and it was the starting point that you could not escape in your life. The latter was your former best friend and today’s mortal enemy. He gave you a goal for almost the rest of your life and inspired you to fight for it... Then, just when you were about to reach the end, he shattered it all with his own hands.
Love and hate, life and death, these are the themes that run through a person from beginning to end, and are all contained in these two names. How can I escape
