Shen Changze stayed in front of the bed for three hours before Shan Ming’s fever obviously subsided and he woke up. Shen Changze nervously watched him slowly opening his eyes. When the two eyes met, Shen Changze could clearly see a trace of panic was replaced in Shan Ming’s eyes.
Shen Changze touched his forehead with his hand and said softly, “Baba, I was out of my mind. Don’t hate me.”
Shan Ming opened his mouth and uttered the words, “Get lost.” After saying these words, he realised that his voice was very dry and very hoarse.
Shen Changze poured a glass of water for him. He helped him up and fed him a sip of water. He stroked Shan Ming’s back, “It was my fault that I lost control of myself.”
Shan Ming closed his eyes, “Go away.”
Shen Changze’s expression remained unchanged. But his eyes were filled with sadness, “Such a thing will never happen again. Don’t be afraid of me. I never thought of hurting you.”
Shan Ming said in a hoarse voice, “Shen Changze, you are abnormal.”
Although he used to feel that Shen Changze’s possessiveness towards him was a bit abnormal, he ignored it before thinking that he would not be able to do anything to him even with such possessiveness. And despite that, the kid was still very obedient to him. But he never thought that one day, he would feel fear and resistance due to Shen Changze’s strong desire to control him.
For him, being able to control himself and live as how he wanted is his greatest joy in life. But Shen Changze’s desire to control him is completely against that freedom. Shen Changze wanted to restrain him. He wanted to keep him locked by his side. How could Shan Ming be willing? He wanted to go wherever he likes and spend his day however he likes. No one can control him.
However, today, he realised that Shen Changze wanted to dominate him. If he resisted him, Shen Changze might do what he did yesterday to him again due to anger. He knew that he could no longer stay by Shen Changze’s side. Otherwise, sooner or later, he would be swallowed whole by Shen Changze’s ever-expanding desire to monopolise him.
Shen Changze held his hand and said calmly: “I know that. I know I’m abnormal. I want to control you. I want to tie you up. And if you look at others even for a moment, I will be jealous. Baba, if I can stop yourself, I won’t force you like this. But the more you stay away from me, the more anxious I am. And the more I have to hold on to you.” After Shen Changze finished speaking, cold sweat broke out all over his body. He suddenly realised that Shan Ming’s hand, which was held by him, clenched and trembled. He immediately let it go. Seeing Shan Ming’s pale face made him feel even more uncomfortable.
He then brought Shan Ming’s hand to his lips and kissed it. He choked up and said: “Baba, I love you. Why can’t you stay by my side? Why did you abandon me again and again? I expect very little from you. As long as I can see you all the time, it’s enough for me. Is that too difficult? You just have to listen to me. I will treat you very well. You should understand this.”
Shan Ming slowly retracted his hand. He said wearily, “I only listen to myself. I really regret it now. We should have only been father and son for the rest of our lives.”
Shen Changze’s heart was stabbed heavily with those words. He looked at Shan Ming quizzically, “You…are you telling me that everything we’ve been through this year was nothing? Are you regretting it? Say that again. Tell me. Do you regret it?” Shen Changze’s tone rose unconsciously. His voice trembled at the end.
Shan Ming turned his head and looked at him. He then emphasised each of his words clearly, “Yes. I regret it. We are only father and son. And we should just be father and son for the rest of our lives.”
Shen Changze stood up abruptly. The emotions in his eyes were constantly changing from sadness to despair. His eyes looked like a deep, bottomless ocean.
Shan Ming lowered his eyelids, not daring to look into his eyes.
Shen Changze bent down slightly and whispered into his ear: “Baba, you can’t regret it. I am your man. This will never change. You can only choose to accept me. Don’t let me hear such words again. You cannot escape from my grasp. You belong to me and will always be mine.”
After Shan Ming listened to these words with a stiff body, he received a soft kiss on his ears. This kiss was hot and humid. But it made him feel cold from head to toe.
Shen Changze had woven a net over his head and had caught him in it relentlessly. It just makes him want to escape even more.
How did things become like this? Is this really the child he brought up with his own hands? Now, this kid just wanted to open his mouth and swallow him. He really feels like he has raised a wild beast. But wait, Shen Changze is indeed a wild beast.
Could it be that the soft and timid child who always cuddled in his arms was just his hallucination? The ‘son’ in front of him made him feel strange and afraid!
Shen Changze endured his surging heartache. He forced himself to sort out his emotions. Shan Ming was tortured by him just the night before so he didn’t want to irritate him more. To deal with Shan Ming, it is more effective to be soft. But recently, their relationship always ended up in anger and clashes of fists.
Shen Changze slowly pressed down his body and let him lie back down on the bed. He then took off his shoes, lifted the quilt, and lay down beside him.
Shan Ming turned his head and looked at him coldly. His eyes looked defensive.
Shen Changze stretched out his hand and hugged him into his arms, “Ten minutes. Just ten minutes. And then I’ll leave.” He didn’t want to see Shan Ming’s expression full of resistance again. So he rested his chin on the top of his head and rubbed it lightly. His warm palms gently caressed Shan Ming’s back.
Shan Ming was still very tired. In this familiar embrace, he felt sleepy for a moment and his eyelids dropped to a close.
Shen Changze’s mantra-like voice kept ringing in his ears, “Baba, I love you. No one loves you more than me. Just look at me. That’s enough. Just think about me. That’s enough. Don’t reject me. You can’t escape me. No matter where you go, I will always find you. So don’t leave me. And don’t betray me…”
Shan Ming closed his eyes to sleep. He could only sigh in his heart.
Shen Changze left after Shan Ming fell asleep. Zhao Qingling never came back and she couldn’t be contacted. Everyone was worried that something might have happened to her. Shen Changze rushed back to the abandoned hospital as quickly as possible. After all, they were his biological parents. He didn’t want to see any tragedy.
Since Shan Ming’s fever hadn’t completely subsided, he was groggy for the next two days and spent them in bed. When he was able to get off the bed, it was already three days later. Tang Tingzhi told him that the latest news from Shen Changze confirmed that Zhao Qingling was captured by Shen Yao.
Shan Ming asked: “Where is the ‘Sea Dragon’ horn?” That thing is too scary. If Shen Yao got it, to stop him would have to sacrifice much more resources than now.
Tang Tingzhi shook his head, “No one knows where the ‘Sea Dragon’ horn is. Zhao Qingling is not willing to give the ‘Sea Dragon’ horn to Shen Yao, nor will she give it to us. The higher authorities require me to bring back the lost ‘Sea Dragon’ horn. But…” A trace of worry brewed under Tang Tingzhi’s flat expression.
Ayer pinched his ears, “It’s enough for you to just bring yourself back. Don’t think about that damned ‘Sea Dragon’ horn anymore. That thing should be destroyed.”
Shan Ming put on his clothes and took a few gulps of water. He said firmly, “We are going to save her. I am familiar with the environment of that abandoned hospital. Shen Changze should be there. I think this is the best time for us to defeat Shen Yao.”
Yang Guan said: “What if he already got the ‘Sea Dragon’ horn?”
Ayer squinted his dangerous blue eyes and said in a deep voice, “Then we can’t wait for him to make the best use of it before we take action.”
Tang Tingzhi nodded, “That’s right. We’re going to take the initiative this time. Our strength can definitely compete with him this time.”
This time, there were thirty-two people in their team. The number of Dragon Blood people had reached thirteen. It can be said that they sent all the best Dragon Blood people trained by the government for many years. This time, they all vowed to subdue Shen Yao to death. Or else, they would not be reconciled.
Ayer thumped on Shan Ming’s shoulder, “Are you good to go?”
Shan Ming’s face was still a little pale but now is definitely not the time to lie on the bed and rest. He wiped his face and proudly said: “I will do as I please.”
Ayer put a large plate of meat in front of him, “Eat. And then we’ll leave.”
