Love in Shackles

He gazed at the distant lights. “I’m the opposite. Since childhood, I’ve dreamed of being a doctor, opening my own hospital… He always opposed it. We argued for two months, and finally…”

“You still enrolled in medical school. You won.”

He smiled bitterly. “Won? I’m still under his control! I didn’t want to come to Japan, but he forced me.”

“What is he pushing you to do this time?”

He looked at me but held back and shook his head. “It’s nothing! Just old nonsense… Don’t worry about it!”

In his last sentence, there was a hint of helplessness and love.

After all, they were father and son.

No matter how much they argued, the blood-bound affection could never be completely erased.

He suddenly came to his senses and stated, “It definitely won’t be Bo Bing…” My smile deepened—”The beauty’s strategy” worked!

The second night began. The judge announced, “Killers, open your eyes.” I opened my eyes and heard, “Killers, please kill someone.” I pointed at Ye Zhengchen. The judge said, “Game over, the police died!”

Ye Zhengchen opened his eyes, looking at my finger. “I lost!” he sighed deeply. Another officer despised him: “At the point of death, still covering for the killer!? You’re soft-hearted, but they showed no mercy…”

“You totally deserved to die! Let’s drink!” Yu Ge added. Ye Zhengchen gave a bitter smile, picked up a full glass of sake, and drank it in one gulp. Feng Ge winked at him with a cute Tianjin accent: “Feeling down? Dying under the peony flower, even as a ghost you’ll be charming!”

I felt embarrassed by their laughter. “Don’t overthink it, Ye Shixiong and I are just neighbors.”

“Neighbors?” Feng Ge laughed exaggeratedly. “Ask Ye Handsome, does he even know the meaning of ‘pure’?”

I looked helplessly at Ye Zhengchen, waiting for him to clarify. He leaned back in his chair with a teasing smile: “I don’t know!”

Revenge, pure revenge.

Ye Zhengchen crossed his legs, glanced towards Li Kai, and spoke leisurely: “I’ve always been… very impure about your motives… don’t pretend you don’t know.”

Some cheered while others waited to see the drama unfold. “How impure? Tell us!” someone shouted. “Is this a confession?” another asked.
