Even between men and women, feelings like love had their limits. Shallow feelings are as easy to catch as they are to let go, ending at the perfect point. But deep feelings… those allow all obstacles to be overcome, lasting all the way till old age.

He was no longer the lonely youth who could be deceived during a time of chaos, but Shen Zhuoyun was no longer the powerless youth he had been either, only able to gain the one he wanted through deceit. As a result, Qin Mo’s refusal acted like a key, turning open a door that had been locked tіght for six long years, allowing all the dеsires and crazes Shen Zhuoyun had suppressed to now break free.

_{Shen Zhuoyun buried his face in the crook of Qin Mo’s neck. “What if you run away after I undo them?” he whispered along with a light chuckle.}The distance between them allowed Qin Mo to clearly see the crazed look in Shen Zhuoyun’s gaze, so much so that frosted flames seemed to be slowly devouring his pupils. Nonetheless, his lips curled into a grin as he lifted Qin Mo into his embrace and carried the younger man tied up like a bamboo-leaf-wrapped sticky rice dumpling (zongzi) straight out the door.

_{Shen Zhuoyun gave no reply immediately, seeming to carefully choose his words before stating just as clearly, “For you, there may very well be not a soul in this world who isn’t indispensable. But Qin Mo, for me, the only one in my world is you.”}
The owner of those words spoke them with a beaming grin as his eyes remained fixed on Qin Mo. From the ruffled tufts of hair atop that young man’s head, Shen Zhuoyun’s eyes swept over every inch of him. Moving from those eyes peering up at him, struggling to hold their focus without the assistance of their missing spectacles, down to the arch of that soft and fair neck, all the way to every part of that slender form now bound tіghtly in rope.

_{But he did know this much: he couldn’t let him escape.}The darkness before him, coupled with the frоction tugging at his bound body as the car vibrated, was not good at all—it made him feel uneasy.

But he did know this much: he couldn’t let him escape.

_{In their embrace, the answers to those questions became clear and distinct.}Shen Zhuoyun seemed to have recalled something at the accusation, unable to give an answer his grip on Qin Mo tіghtened while his gaze grew darker.

In their embrace, the answers to those questions became clear and distinct.

_{Knowing that guy had bouts of mental illness, Qin Mo said nothing in response. After a while, that guy’s gentle breath again tickled his ear.}
It’s like he’s been gift-wrapped just for me.

Knowing that guy had bouts of mental illness, Qin Mo said nothing in response. After a while, that guy’s gentle breath again tickled his ear. “Would it be alright if I kept you tied up like this forever?” As those words left his lips, he spreаd his arms wide, winding them around Qin Mo, perfectly embracing all of him. Those arms served as yet another binding shackle, leaving the one within them no room to struggle.

_{“Hm?” Shen Zhuoyun replied. “The only act I plan on committing with you is fornication.”}So how could he let him know? Who could understand such a psychotic level of monitoring?

“Hm?” Shen Zhuoyun replied. “The only act I plan on committing with you is fornication.”

“Don’t look.” The voice of that man sounded like a plea, yet his actions had wrenched away Qin Mo’s sight. That ability of Qin Mo to escape from the inescapable prison seemed to have left a deep impression on Shen Zhuoyun. So even now, he feared the sight of the scenery whipping past them was enough to help Qin Mo escape.

_{It seemed that neither of them had forgotten everything from six years ago.}But he did know this much: he couldn’t let him escape.

It seemed that neither of them had forgotten everything from six years ago.

_{Then, what about Shen Zhuoyun? The fact that man had already come back to find him had already proven everything Qin Mo had suspected.}It was only then that he finally spoke.

Not even the passage of six years had put a dent in his fanatical dеsires; if anything, it made his obsession all the more potent. He knew everything about the one standing before him, regardless of it being good or bad, even if it was the reason for his own downfall.

_{{This guy must’ve been born in the year of the dog.} Qin Mo mused while his brows tіghtened.}“I’m back.”

This guy must’ve been born in the year of the dog. Qin Mo mused while his brows tіghtened.

_{“Thank you for giving me six years. I’ve thought it all over carefully during that time, so Shen Zhuoyun, we’re just not a good match.”}
“Qin Zhen isn’t the only one who has your location.” Shen Zhuoyun replied, wearing that soft smile—that same soft smile bearing hints of charm and elegance no different from six years back, but the depth in the gaze accompanying it seemed to have become more vast.

_{But he was also well aware that succυmbing to each and every one of his dark dеsires towards a person who believed it would be better to be a shattered piece of jade than a whole piece of tile—a person who would rather die with pride than live in disgrace—like Qin Mo, would result in losing him forever.}The distance between them allowed Qin Mo to clearly see the crazed look in Shen Zhuoyun’s gaze, so much so that frosted flames seemed to be slowly devouring his pupils.

_{All of you… I want it all.}
But in response, Mo’s brows arched slightly, his gaze showing hints of anger as he spat, “You’re spying on me?”

All of you… I want it all.

_{“Is all this really worth it?”}“You’ve forgotten when I said that, haven’t you?”

“Is all this really worth it?”

_{Volume 2 | Chapter 07: Unlawful Imprisonment}But Qin Mo was sure of one thing: Shen Zhuoyun was special, of that he was certain. So what was so wrong with letting this person remain a special memory forever?

_{Even between men and women, feelings like love had their limits. Shallow feelings are as easy to catch as they are to let go, ending at the perfect point. But deep feelings… those allow all obstacles to be overcome, lasting all the way till old age.}Shen Zhuoyun’s hand snaked its way to Qin Mo’s watch, unbuckling it. Leaning away from Qin Mo slightly, he then gradually pressed the centre of the watch screen with his thumb until the entire thing shattered before their eyes.

“I’m showing interest,” Shen Zhuoyun corrected, after which he helped Qin Mo to his feet, held his shoulders and bound his lips with a kiss.

_{But he did know this much: he couldn’t let him escape.}Qin Mo sat there in darkness; the deprivation of his vision had made his sensitivity to touch all the more pronounced.

But he did know this much: he couldn’t let him escape.

_{“There’s not a soul in this world who is indispensable,” Qin Mo stated. “So just let me go. Why not let us both go, Shen Zhuoyun?”}
Almost at the exact moment Qin Mo felt that man’s tongue invade his mouth, he understood that the person before him was still the same Shen Zhuoyun from six years ago. The sole difference between the him from then and now was that the mask hiding his twisted and ruthless nature had been perfected all the more.

“There’s not a soul in this world who is indispensable,” Qin Mo stated. “So just let me go. Why not let us both go, Shen Zhuoyun?”

_{“Can you undo the ropes?”}Shen Zhuoyun turned to him, gesturing for him to continue speaking, to which Qin Mo obliged.

“Can you undo the ropes?”

Seemingly unmoved by Shen Zhuoyun’s invasion, he waited for the other’s lips to withdraw from his own and took a moment to catch his breath before asking in a whisper, “Does Qin Zhen know?”

“I’m showing interest,” Shen Zhuoyun corrected, after which he helped Qin Mo to his feet, held his shoulders and bound his lips with a kiss.

It was different this time around, though. Qin Mo was grateful, incredibly grateful, that Shen Zhuoyun left him back then. If not for him letting go during that time, Qin Mo would’ve never been able to clearly understand what he does at present: he and Shen Zhuoyun, from their very core, are two people who are unable to coexist.

_{So how could he let him know? Who could understand such a psychotic level of monitoring?}“You’ve forgotten when I said that, haven’t you?”

So how could he let him know? Who could understand such a psychotic level of monitoring?

_{Knowing that guy had bouts of mental illness, Qin Mo said nothing in response. After a while, that guy’s gentle breath again tickled his ear.}“Shen Zhuoyun, if you leave me today, don’t you dare show your face before me for the rest of your days.”

_{Shen Zhuoyun’s hand snaked its way to Qin Mo’s watch, unbuckling it. Leaning away from Qin Mo slightly, he then gradually pressed the centre of the watch screen with his thumb until the entire thing shattered before their eyes.}
He kept constant updates on Qin Mo’s location and even bugged both of his phones. If not for Qin Mo’s hacking skills, he would’ve even gone the extra mile to watch him through the web cameras on his computers.

Shen Zhuoyun’s hand snaked its way to Qin Mo’s watch, unbuckling it. Leaning away from Qin Mo slightly, he then gradually pressed the centre of the watch screen with his thumb until the entire thing shattered before their eyes.

In his youth, he felt resentful of Shen Zhuoyun’s distrust. Six years ago, he was even able to tell him never to appear before his eyes again in this life. But that was also in part to his anger at that moment. After all, Shen Zhuoyun had promised to be Qin Mo’s partner, but he didn’t allow Qin Mo to stand beside him.

_{“Now, you can’t escape.”}Shen Zhuoyun gave no reply immediately, seeming to carefully choose his words before stating just as clearly, “For you, there may very well be not a soul in this world who isn’t indispensable. But Qin Mo, for me, the only one in my world is you.”

_N/AQin Mo could only stand there, feeling the warmth from that man’s skin piercing through his clothes. That familiar sensation spurred on countless fragments of memories, a chaotic mess of scenes, a mix of those dark and those bright, allowing the person before him to again become whole again—to become real.

It’s not as if that person’s frightened visage had never crossed his mind. He had once thought that such a sight would be rather pleasing, but to be frank, any way that guy looked was adored in his eyes. Whether it was his gentle side, his occasional rudeness, his happy smile, his sad expression, or even his teary state as he struggled—and his confusion while trapped in the throes of dеsire—all of it was lovely. Shen Zhuoyun wanted all these and every bit of the expressions he had yet to know to belong to him—and him alone.

_{Warmth enveloped his earlobes, the area moistened as it was sυcked between Shen Zhuoyun’s lips.

In such a scenario, if Shen Zhuoyun truly willed it, he could really be locked away for the rest of his life. But Qin Mo couldn’t allow his thoughts to descend into such musings. He had to take advantage of this moment and do what he could to stop the worst from coming to pass.

_{He was a drug to Shen Zhuoyun—one that caused such an intense addiction it had bored all the way into his bones—one he had no way of quitting.

Sooner or later, Shen Zhuoyun would want reciprocation, and even if he wanted to, he couldn’t. So when such a day came… Qin Mo couldn’t imagine what sort of end would meet him.

“Why did you come here? Why now?” Qin Mo asked, dragging Shen Zhuoyun from his thoughts.

_{In his youth, he felt resentful of Shen Zhuoyun’s distrust. Six years ago, he was even able to tell him never to appear before his eyes again in this life. But that was also in part to his anger at that moment. After all, Shen Zhuoyun had promised to be Qin Mo’s partner, but he didn’t allow Qin Mo to stand beside him.}
Qin Mo could only stand there, feeling the warmth from that man’s skin piercing through his clothes. That familiar sensation spurred on countless fragments of memories, a chaotic mess of scenes, a mix of those dark and those bright, allowing the person before him to again become whole again—to become real.

_{{It’s like he’s been gift-wrapped just for me.}}Shen Zhuoyun gave no reply immediately, seeming to carefully choose his words before stating just as clearly, “For you, there may very well be not a soul in this world who isn’t indispensable. But Qin Mo, for me, the only one in my world is you.”

It’s like he’s been gift-wrapped just for me.

_{Qin Mo repeated those words, his tone placid, before the lids of his eyes lowered and made his gaze seem rather cold.}But in response, Mo’s brows arched slightly, his gaze showing hints of anger as he spat, “You’re spying on me?”

Qin Mo repeated those words, his tone placid, before the lids of his eyes lowered and made his gaze seem rather cold.

_{What was Qin Mo to Shen Zhuoyun?}
What kind of person was Shen Zhuoyun?

What was Qin Mo to Shen Zhuoyun?

_{He had become an invisible tracker, one madly observing every word—every action—of the person in front of him. Not even the passage of six years had put a dent in his fanatical dеsires; if anything, it made his obsession all the more potent. He knew everything about the one standing before him, regardless of it being good or bad, even if it was the reason for his own downfall.}Without warning, his gaze was shrouded in darkness. A warm touch now pressed over his eyelids, and a tіght feeling hugged his waist before his entire body was lifted onto the lap of the one beside him.

_{Shen Zhuoyun’s hand snaked its way to Qin Mo’s watch, unbuckling it. Leaning away from Qin Mo slightly, he then gradually pressed the centre of the watch screen with his thumb until the entire thing shattered before their eyes.}He had become an invisible tracker, one madly observing every word—every action—of the person in front of him.

_{He had changed, but Shen Zhuoyun had changed as well.}
What kind of person was he?

He had changed, but Shen Zhuoyun had changed as well.

Qin Mo said nothing for a long time, only staring at him as if he was making absolutely sure the identity of the person before him was true. It was only then that he finally spoke, asking simply, “How did you find me?”

_{Then, what about Shen Zhuoyun? The fact that man had already come back to find him had already proven everything Qin Mo had suspected.}Qin Mo repeated those words, his tone placid, before the lids of his eyes lowered and made his gaze seem rather cold.

_{“Shen Zhuoyun,” he muttered, “are you planning to commit the act of unlawful imprisonment?”}Just as Jin Yuelin chose to never marry due to his bond with Lin Huiyin—not because he was waiting for her, but rather because there were shared memories he wished to cherish, the kind of memories that can remain untouched with the passage of each day and night. He himself had met Shen Zhuoyun during troubled times, their bond growing during the year they were at their lowest, all culminating in a most exhilarating escape. They faced death together. They shared a connection deeper than most, so what issue was there in leaving those precious memories unblemished? Why let Shen Zhuoyun’s paranoia and his own frigidity mar it?

“Shen Zhuoyun,” he muttered, “are you planning to commit the act of unlawful imprisonment?”

_{If I told him everything right now, would he be scared?}
In their embrace, the answers to those questions became clear and distinct.

If I told him everything right now, would he be scared?

_{With a vacant stare, Qin Mo watched that man carry him down the stairs and stuff him into a car, only regaining his senses just then to realise his situation had turned dire.}Shen Zhuoyun seemed to have recalled something at the accusation, unable to give an answer his grip on Qin Mo tіghtened while his gaze grew darker.

_{“You’ve forgotten when I said that, haven’t you?”}
It was only then that Qin Mo let out a calming breath.

“You’ve forgotten when I said that, haven’t you?”

_{The distance between them allowed Qin Mo to clearly see the crazed look in Shen Zhuoyun’s gaze, so much so that frosted flames seemed to be slowly devouring his pupils. Nonetheless, his lips curled into a grin as he lifted Qin Mo into his embrace and carried the younger man tied up like a bamboo-leaf-wrapped sticky rice dumpling (zongzi) straight out the door.}The owner of those words spoke them with a beaming grin as his eyes remained fixed on Qin Mo. From the ruffled tufts of hair atop that young man’s head, Shen Zhuoyun’s eyes swept over every inch of him. Moving from those eyes peering up at him, struggling to hold their focus without the assistance of their missing spectacles, down to the arch of that soft and fair neck, all the way to every part of that slender form now bound tіghtly in rope.

_{In their embrace, the answers to those questions became clear and distinct.}
It was only then that he finally spoke.

“You may have forgotten, but I haven’t.” Qin Mo continued in the same relaxed tone. “Shen Zhuoyun, back then, remember when I asked you how long we could last?” As he spoke, Qin Mo felt the arms around him slowly stiffen, yet his own thoughts became all the more clear, allowing him to finally speak the words he had originally wanted to say.

_{What kind of person was he?}Warmth enveloped his earlobes, the area moistened as it was sυcked between Shen Zhuoyun’s lips. Once released, intermittent lіcks to that place persisted until the moist touch left a trail before reaching his neck, the soft lіcks now replaced by an action producing a gentle sting.

What kind of person was he?

_{“Now, you can’t escape.”}
“Shen Zhuoyun, if you leave me today, don’t you dare show your face before me for the rest of your days.”

“Now, you can’t escape.”

_{Knowing that guy had bouts of mental illness, Qin Mo said nothing in response. After a while, that guy’s gentle breath again tickled his ear.}He kept constant updates on Qin Mo’s location and even bugged both of his phones. If not for Qin Mo’s hacking skills, he would’ve even gone the extra mile to watch him through the web cameras on his computers.

But he did know this much: he couldn’t let him escape.

_{{I miscalculated again.}}But he was also well aware that succυmbing to each and every one of his dark dеsires towards a person who believed it would be better to be a shattered piece of jade than a whole piece of tile—a person who would rather die with pride than live in disgrace—like Qin Mo, would result in losing him forever.

_{It’s not as if that person’s frightened visage had never crossed his mind. He had once thought that such a sight would be rather pleasing, but to be frank, any way that guy looked was adored in his eyes.}
Even between men and women, feelings like love had their limits. Shallow feelings are as easy to catch as they are to let go, ending at the perfect point. But deep feelings… those allow all obstacles to be overcome, lasting all the way till old age.

It’s not as if that person’s frightened visage had never crossed his mind. He had once thought that such a sight would be rather pleasing, but to be frank, any way that guy looked was adored in his eyes. Whether it was his gentle side, his occasional rudeness, his happy smile, his sad expression, or even his teary state as he struggled—and his confusion while trapped in the throes of dеsire—all of it was lovely. Shen Zhuoyun wanted all these and every bit of the expressions he had yet to know to belong to him—and him alone.

_{“There’s not a soul in this world who is indispensable,” Qin Mo stated. “So just let me go. Why not let us both go, Shen Zhuoyun?”}“There’s not a soul in this world who is indispensable,” Qin Mo stated. “So just let me go. Why not let us both go, Shen Zhuoyun?”

He was a drug to Shen Zhuoyun—one that caused such an intense addiction it had bored all the way into his bones—one he had no way of quitting. So like the addict he was, Shen Zhuoyun craved him endlessly, growing more greedy than before and growing more demanding after every instance. But Qin Mo was born with a cold disposition. Sooner or later, Shen Zhuoyun would want reciprocation, and even if he wanted to, he couldn’t. So when such a day came… Qin Mo couldn’t imagine what sort of end would meet him.

_{“Can you undo the ropes?”}Volume 2 | Chapter 07: Unlawful Imprisonment

“Can you undo the ropes?”

_{Shen Zhuoyun turned to him, gesturing for him to continue speaking, to which Qin Mo obliged.}
“Is all this really worth it?”

Shen Zhuoyun turned to him, gesturing for him to continue speaking, to which Qin Mo obliged.

_{“I’m showing interest,” Shen Zhuoyun corrected, after which he helped Qin Mo to his feet, held his shoulders and bound his lips with a kiss.}In their embrace, the answers to those questions became clear and distinct.

“I’m showing interest,” Shen Zhuoyun corrected, after which he helped Qin Mo to his feet, held his shoulders and bound his lips with a kiss.

_{Without warning, his gaze was shrouded in darkness. A warm touch now pressed over his eyelids, and a tіght feeling hugged his waist before his entire body was lifted onto the lap of the one beside him.}“Qin Zhen isn’t the only one who has your location.” Shen Zhuoyun replied, wearing that soft smile—that same soft smile bearing hints of charm and elegance no different from six years back, but the depth in the gaze accompanying it seemed to have become more vast.

Without warning, his gaze was shrouded in darkness. A warm touch now pressed over his eyelids, and a tіght feeling hugged his waist before his entire body was lifted onto the lap of the one beside him.

_{Shen Zhuoyun gave no reply immediately, seeming to carefully choose his words before stating just as clearly, “For you, there may very well be not a soul in this world who isn’t indispensable. But Qin Mo, for me, the only one in my world is you.”}The distance between them allowed Qin Mo to clearly see the crazed look in Shen Zhuoyun’s gaze, so much so that frosted flames seemed to be slowly devouring his pupils. Nonetheless, his lips curled into a grin as he lifted Qin Mo into his embrace and carried the younger man tied up like a bamboo-leaf-wrapped sticky rice dumpling (zongzi) straight out the door.

_{“Can you undo the ropes?”}It seemed that neither of them had forgotten everything from six years ago.

“Can you undo the ropes?”

_{“I’m back.”}
Shen Zhuoyun turned to him, gesturing for him to continue speaking, to which Qin Mo obliged.

“I’m back.”

_{It was different this time around, though. Qin Mo was grateful, incredibly grateful, that Shen Zhuoyun left him back then. If not for him letting go during that time, Qin Mo would’ve never been able to clearly understand what he does at present: he and Shen Zhuoyun, from their very core, are two people who are unable to coexist.}“I’m showing interest,” Shen Zhuoyun corrected, after which he helped Qin Mo to his feet, held his shoulders and bound his lips with a kiss.

_{What kind of person was Shen Zhuoyun?}In his youth, he felt resentful of Shen Zhuoyun’s distrust. Six years ago, he was even able to tell him never to appear before his eyes again in this life. But that was also in part to his anger at that moment. After all, Shen Zhuoyun had promised to be Qin Mo’s partner, but he didn’t allow Qin Mo to stand beside him.

What kind of person was Shen Zhuoyun?

_{Every sentence, every word, was like an inscription etched into their bones—an oath that both had mulled over countless times in their memories.}Knowing that guy had bouts of mental illness, Qin Mo said nothing in response. After a while, that guy’s gentle breath again tickled his ear. “Would it be alright if I kept you tied up like this forever?” As those words left his lips, he spreаd his arms wide, winding them around Qin Mo, perfectly embracing all of him. Those arms served as yet another binding shackle, leaving the one within them no room to struggle.

Every sentence, every word, was like an inscription etched into their bones—an oath that both had mulled over countless times in their memories.

_{What kind of person was he?}
“There’s not a soul in this world who is indispensable,” Qin Mo stated. “So just let me go. Why not let us both go, Shen Zhuoyun?”

What kind of person was he?

_{“Shen Zhuoyun, if you leave me today, don’t you dare show your face before me for the rest of your days.”}He was no longer the lonely youth who could be deceived during a time of chaos, but Shen Zhuoyun was no longer the powerless youth he had been either, only able to gain the one he wanted through deceit. As a result, Qin Mo’s refusal acted like a key, turning open a door that had been locked tіght for six long years, allowing all the dеsires and crazes Shen Zhuoyun had suppressed to now break free.

“Shen Zhuoyun, if you leave me today, don’t you dare show your face before me for the rest of your days.”

_{Then, what about Shen Zhuoyun? The fact that man had already come back to find him had already proven everything Qin Mo had suspected.}
Shen Zhuoyun gave no reply immediately, seeming to carefully choose his words before stating just as clearly, “For you, there may very well be not a soul in this world who isn’t indispensable. But Qin Mo, for me, the only one in my world is you.”

Then, what about Shen Zhuoyun? The fact that man had already come back to find him had already proven everything Qin Mo had suspected.

_N/ABut Qin Mo was sure of one thing: Shen Zhuoyun was special, of that he was certain. So what was so wrong with letting this person remain a special memory forever?

N/A

_{Qin Mo said nothing for a long time, only staring at him as if he was making absolutely sure the identity of the person before him was true. It was only then that he finally spoke, asking simply, “How did you find me?”}Without warning, his gaze was shrouded in darkness. A warm touch now pressed over his eyelids, and a tіght feeling hugged his waist before his entire body was lifted onto the lap of the one beside him.

_{“Qin Zhen isn’t the only one who has your location.” Shen Zhuoyun replied, wearing that soft smile—that same soft smile bearing hints of charm and elegance no different from six years back, but the depth in the gaze accompanying it seemed to have become more vast.}Every sentence, every word, was like an inscription etched into their bones—an oath that both had mulled over countless times in their memories.

_{But Qin Mo was sure of one thing: Shen Zhuoyun was special, of that he was certain. So what was so wrong with letting this person remain a special memory forever?}
Qin Mo knew right then that his words were not the whispering of sweet-nothings but the tried-and-true thoughts of that madman named Shen Zhuoyun.

But Qin Mo was sure of one thing: Shen Zhuoyun was special, of that he was certain. So what was so wrong with letting this person remain a special memory forever?

_{What kind of person was Shen Zhuoyun?}“Can you undo the ropes?”

What kind of person was Shen Zhuoyun?

_{“You may have forgotten, but I haven’t.” Qin Mo continued in the same relaxed tone. “Shen Zhuoyun, back then, remember when I asked you how long we could last?” As he spoke, Qin Mo felt the arms around him slowly stiffen, yet his own thoughts became all the more clear, allowing him to finally speak the words he had originally wanted to say.}The distance between them allowed Qin Mo to clearly see the crazed look in Shen Zhuoyun’s gaze, so much so that frosted flames seemed to be slowly devouring his pupils. Nonetheless, his lips curled into a grin as he lifted Qin Mo into his embrace and carried the younger man tied up like a bamboo-leaf-wrapped sticky rice dumpling (zongzi) straight out the door.

_{“Hm?” Shen Zhuoyun replied. “The only act I plan on committing with you is fornication.”}He was a drug to Shen Zhuoyun—one that caused such an intense addiction it had bored all the way into his bones—one he had no way of quitting. So like the addict he was, Shen Zhuoyun craved him endlessly, growing more greedy than before and growing more demanding after every instance. But Qin Mo was born with a cold disposition. Sooner or later, Shen Zhuoyun would want reciprocation, and even if he wanted to, he couldn’t. So when such a day came… Qin Mo couldn’t imagine what sort of end would meet him.

“Hm?” Shen Zhuoyun replied. “The only act I plan on committing with you is fornication.”

_{What kind of person was he?}Qin Mo said nothing for a long time, only staring at him as if he was making absolutely sure the identity of the person before him was true. It was only then that he finally spoke, asking simply, “How did you find me?”

Qin Mo was grateful, incredibly grateful, that Shen Zhuoyun left him back then. If not for him letting go during that time, Qin Mo would’ve never been able to clearly understand what he does at present: he and Shen Zhuoyun, from their very core, are two people who are unable to coexist.

It seemed that neither of them had forgotten everything from six years ago.

_{Just as Jin Yuelin chose to never marry due to his bond with Lin Huiyin—not because he was waiting for her, but rather because there were shared memories he wished to cherish, the kind of memories that can remain untouched with the passage of each day and night. He himself had met Shen Zhuoyun during troubled times, their bond growing during the year they were at their lowest, all culminating in a most exhilarating escape.}
With the watch destroyed, he lost his only means of communicating with the outside world. In such a scenario, if Shen Zhuoyun truly willed it, he could really be locked away for the rest of his life. But Qin Mo couldn’t allow his thoughts to descend into such musings. He had to take advantage of this moment and do what he could to stop the worst from coming to pass.

_{“Why did you come here? Why now?” Qin Mo asked, dragging Shen Zhuoyun from his thoughts.}Shen Zhuoyun turned to him, gesturing for him to continue speaking, to which Qin Mo obliged.

“Why did you come here? Why now?” Qin Mo asked, dragging Shen Zhuoyun from his thoughts.

_{He no longer spoke a word to that madman, his gaze turning to the blur of scenery whipping by the window as the car steadily continued on its path, doing his best to gauge which direction they were headed.}
Without warning, his gaze was shrouded in darkness. A warm touch now pressed over his eyelids, and a tіght feeling hugged his waist before his entire body was lifted onto the lap of the one beside him.

_{He had changed, but Shen Zhuoyun had changed as well.}Shen Zhuoyun turned to him, gesturing for him to continue speaking, to which Qin Mo obliged.

He had changed, but Shen Zhuoyun had changed as well.

Then, what about Shen Zhuoyun? The fact that man had already come back to find him had already proven everything Qin Mo had suspected.

_{He had changed, but Shen Zhuoyun had changed as well.}He had become an invisible tracker, one madly observing every word—every action—of the person in front of him. Not even the passage of six years had put a dent in his fanatical dеsires; if anything, it made his obsession all the more potent. He knew everything about the one standing before him, regardless of it being good or bad, even if it was the reason for his own downfall.

He had changed, but Shen Zhuoyun had changed as well.

_{Seemingly unmoved by Shen Zhuoyun’s invasion, he waited for the other’s lips to withdraw from his own and took a moment to catch his breath before asking in a whisper, “Does Qin Zhen know?”}
“Don’t look.” The voice of that man sounded like a plea, yet his actions had wrenched away Qin Mo’s sight. That ability of Qin Mo to escape from the inescapable prison seemed to have left a deep impression on Shen Zhuoyun. So even now, he feared the sight of the scenery whipping past them was enough to help Qin Mo escape.

Seemingly unmoved by Shen Zhuoyun’s invasion, he waited for the other’s lips to withdraw from his own and took a moment to catch his breath before asking in a whisper, “Does Qin Zhen know?”

_{After he was settled in the car, Qin Mo ignored the ropes binding his body, his gaze lingering on the familiar features of the one seated beside him before giving one last attempt to end this all with reason.}“You may have forgotten, but I haven’t.” Qin Mo continued in the same relaxed tone. “Shen Zhuoyun, back then, remember when I asked you how long we could last?” As he spoke, Qin Mo felt the arms around him slowly stiffen, yet his own thoughts became all the more clear, allowing him to finally speak the words he had originally wanted to say.

_{Every sentence, every word, was like an inscription etched into their bones—an oath that both had mulled over countless times in their memories.}With a vacant stare, Qin Mo watched that man carry him down the stairs and stuff him into a car, only regaining his senses just then to realise his situation had turned dire.

_{It was only then that Qin Mo let out a calming breath.}
Keeping Qin Mo confined for the rest of his life was honestly something he hadn’t seriously considered.

It was only then that Qin Mo let out a calming breath.

_{“Thank you for giving me six years. I’ve thought it all over carefully during that time, so Shen Zhuoyun, we’re just not a good match.”}I miscalculated again.

“Thank you for giving me six years. I’ve thought it all over carefully during that time, so Shen Zhuoyun, we’re just not a good match.”

_{{All of you… I want it all.}}Shen Zhuoyun’s hand snaked its way to Qin Mo’s watch, unbuckling it. Leaning away from Qin Mo slightly, he then gradually pressed the centre of the watch screen with his thumb until the entire thing shattered before their eyes.

All of you… I want it all.

_{“Hm?” Shen Zhuoyun replied. “The only act I plan on committing with you is fornication.”}
But he did know this much: he couldn’t let him escape.

“Hm?” Shen Zhuoyun replied. “The only act I plan on committing with you is fornication.”

_{But he did know this much: he couldn’t let him escape.}If I told him everything right now, would he be scared?

But he did know this much: he couldn’t let him escape.

_{Only the heavens know how Shen Zhuoyun got through those past six years.}
Qin Mo sat there in darkness; the deprivation of his vision had made his sensitivity to touch all the more pronounced.

Only the heavens know how Shen Zhuoyun got through those past six years.

_{Shen Zhuoyun seemed to have recalled something at the accusation, unable to give an answer his grip on Qin Mo tіghtened while his gaze grew darker.}Warmth enveloped his earlobes, the area moistened as it was sυcked between Shen Zhuoyun’s lips. Once released, intermittent lіcks to that place persisted until the moist touch left a trail before reaching his neck, the soft lіcks now replaced by an action producing a gentle sting.

If not for him letting go during that time, Qin Mo would’ve never been able to clearly understand what he does at present: he and Shen Zhuoyun, from their very core, are two people who are unable to coexist.}Almost at the exact moment Qin Mo felt that man’s tongue invade his mouth, he understood that the person before him was still the same Shen Zhuoyun from six years ago. The sole difference between the him from then and now was that the mask hiding his twisted and ruthless nature had been perfected all the more.

_{It was only then that he finally spoke.}I miscalculated again.

It was only then that he finally spoke.

_{He kept constant updates on Qin Mo’s location and even bugged both of his phones. If not for Qin Mo’s hacking skills, he would’ve even gone the extra mile to watch him through the web cameras on his computers.}If I told him everything right now, would he be scared?

_{“Now, you can’t escape.”}“Can you undo the ropes?”

“Now, you can’t escape.”

_{“Shen Zhuoyun,” he muttered, “are you planning to commit the act of unlawful imprisonment?”}
The darkness before him, coupled with the frоction tugging at his bound body as the car vibrated, was not good at all—it made him feel uneasy.

“Shen Zhuoyun,” he muttered, “are you planning to commit the act of unlawful imprisonment?”

_{He was no longer the lonely youth who could be deceived during a time of chaos, but Shen Zhuoyun was no longer the powerless youth he had been either, only able to gain the one he wanted through deceit.

That familiar sensation spurred on countless fragments of memories, a chaotic mess of scenes, a mix of those dark and those bright, allowing the person before him to again become whole again—to become real.

_{Qin Mo said nothing for a long time, only staring at him as if he was making absolutely sure the identity of the person before him was true. It was only then that he finally spoke, asking simply, “How did you find me?”}
“Shen Zhuoyun,” he muttered, “are you planning to commit the act of unlawful imprisonment?”

_{{If I told him everything right now, would he be scared?}}The owner of those words spoke them with a beaming grin as his eyes remained fixed on Qin Mo. From the ruffled tufts of hair atop that young man’s head, Shen Zhuoyun’s eyes swept over every inch of him. Moving from those eyes peering up at him, struggling to hold their focus without the assistance of their missing spectacles, down to the arch of that soft and fair neck, all the way to every part of that slender form now bound tіghtly in rope.

If I told him everything right now, would he be scared?
