Bound by Pain, Freed by Vengeance Chapter 9

Before Mason Gu could help Li Huaite find his destined darling, Li Huaite discovered that he seemed to have found Mason Gu's (soul mate) first.

This originated from a dream that Li White had recently received from a big client.

The client's name is Qi Shu, the youngest son of the eldest son of the Qi family in the imperial capital. He is rich, powerful, and smart. In one word, he is a d@Mn winner in life. And this winner in life has been troubled by a dream that he has every night, over and over again. In order to get treatment, he came to LV City for Li White's name.

"A nightmare?"

"In a sense, it's a beautiful dream." Qi Shu sat across from Li White, dressed in a meticulous manner and serious in his attitude. He didn't look like he was seeing a psychotherapist, but rather like he was going to attend an important international conference.

"Can you describe it in detail?" Freud said that dreams are often a reflection of a person's deepest desires.

Qi Shu recalled the black-haired young man who had appeared in his dreams every night recently. He had a gentle smile and bright eyes. In the university's lecture hall, he looked up from the projector with a slender waist that could be held in one hand, and waved to him as if he had just entered the room. His attitude was natural and generous. He said, "Qi Shu, you're here? Great, I need you."

The sun was shining brightly, the windows were clean, and the black-haired young man looked like a traditional ink painting, fresh and timeless, with picturesque features. Everything in the dream was very clear and real, and Qi Shu felt that he could even vaguely smell the scent of soapberries on the young man.

The picture was so beautiful, but Mr. Qi, who graduated with a science degree, could only say dryly: "There was a man standing on the podium, very tall, very thin, and very fair."

"...Well, it seems that the focus of the dream is the character." To be more precise, Qi Shu's focus is on that character. "Can you tell me more about that young man? Have you met him before? What is your relationship with him? Or what kind of friendship are you looking forward to developing with him?"

"I have never seen him in my life." But I wish I could meet him right away.

"When I say seen, it can be from a painting, a photo, or even a film or TV show. It doesn't necessarily mean that you really know each other."

"No." If I had seen him, I would definitely not miss him. Qi Shu thought for a moment and added, "If I saw him, I would definitely recognize him at a glance. This is the sketch I drew based on my dream."

Qi Shu took out a black wallet and took out a sketch of a small elephant that he had prepared long ago from where he kept his photos. He felt a little regretful that his drawing skills were not good enough and he could only depict the elephant's appearance but not its spirit. The beauty of that young man could not be explained in a few words or a portrait sketch.

Li White felt that it was enough, because...isn't this Mason Gu? !

"Have you seen this person?!" Qi Shu's calm demeanor finally changed with Li White's surprised expression. His elder brother said that he was crazy to believe that the person in his dream really existed, but now reality has proved that he is not crazy.

"I can't answer your question for now. Unless you tell me first, why are you so obsessed with this person just based on a dream." Li White looked at Qi Shu vigilantly. No one would have to find a person just because they dreamed about that person, even if they dreamed about him/her repeatedly. He didn't dare to think deeply about this obsession.

Mason Gu has suffered enough, and Li White doesn't want to attract a tiger before the wolf has left. The Qi family is a great family that has been entrenched in Country C for a hundred years. It can only call the shots in the surrounding areas of LV City. The He family can't be compared with it at all.

Qi Shu was not angry at Li White's vigilance. He understood and supported his caution, so he gave the reason without hesitation: "He said he needed me."

"......Then what?"

"What else do you need?" Qi Shu frowned. Isn't this reason enough?

Li White was a little bit unacceptable and asked for a second confirmation: "That's it?"

"That's it." Qi Shu would feel very happy when dreaming, but when he woke up he would be left with only anxiety. It was not because he had lost the other person, but because something seemed to be telling him that the person needed him and he should find him quickly.

"What if he's doing well and doesn't need you? Maybe it's just a need in your heart. You need him to need you."

"I will leave after I make sure that he is really living a good life and not disturb his life." The reason why Qi Shu wanted to find that person was to solve his troubles, not to become his troubles.

Just want to help someone? My God, are the third-generation officials so conscious now? Please look at me, look at me, I am in urgent need of money, please help: "Mr. Qi is unexpectedly helpful."

Qi Shu's ears turned slightly red: "Of course, if he is willing, I am also willing to try to develop a relationship with him that goes beyond helping him."

"......" You're such a sultry guy! Did your parents know that you like someone in such a unique way? Did your elder brother know that you became g@y in your dream for no apparent reason?

Qi Shu replied seriously: "I came out to my family in high school, and they understood me."

Lee White was a little embarrassed for a moment after accidentally speaking out his true feelings, so he could only change the subject: "I have good news and bad news."

Qi Shu listened attentively.

"The good news is that I happen to know the person you dreamed about. He has a good personality and good character, and his IQ is still high. Most importantly, he is probably g@y. The bad news is that I think the two words he fears most in the short term are 'relationships'."

At the same time, the He family.

Liam was depressed for a while after being hit by Li Huaite. After he settled Mason Gu, he locked himself in the study and smashed all the antiques in it. The sound of smashing was endless. After two hours, he finally calmed down. He called his assistant and asked him to get the video record of the conversation between Li Huaite and Mason Gu no matter what.

Half an hour later, Liam got what he wanted. Li White agreed to email Liam a live video, which could be watched only once before the cost would be reimbursed. In addition, Liam promised that he would not ask for the patient's private information in the future. His talk therapy method was also a kind of trade secret.

Liam agreed.

Then...Liam's painting style changed.

After confirming that the content of the video was consistent with what Li White said, Liam's mind began to replay the video over and over again in a self-torturing manner. The scene in which Mason Gu had numb eyes and an expression like a walking corpse made him feel more uncomfortable than ever. It was like a knife was constantly stabbing his heart, causing blood to sizzle out.

Liam didn't even have the energy to be angry. He just sat in silence in the mess until the golden crow sank in the west, and then he barely pulled himself together.

This time, Liam's attitude towards Mason Gu was truly extremely gentle, and there was no longer the feeling of holding his breath and planning to take revenge sooner or later as in the early days.

In the study, he thought a lot. When he first met Mason Gu, he wanted to cherish her. When did he change? Maybe it was when he couldn't get a response from Mason Gu no matter how he pursued her, and he started to get angry at his own incompetence.

From childhood to adulthood, Liam has lived under the high-pressure rule of his father. It seems that no matter how hard he tries, he cannot escape his father's shadow. This makes him hate his own incompetence very much. When he feels similar incompetence in Mason Gu, he gets angry. If I can't beat my father, how can I beat you, a poor student?

From then on, the more afraid Mason Gu was of him, the angrier he became, and the angrier he was, the more afraid Mason Gu would be of him. It was an endless vicious cycle with no possibility of redemption, so he simply gave up completely.

When Mason Gu committed suicide, Liam felt scared for the first time, afraid of losing him. He thought clearly that he must control his temper this time, but in the end, he failed after Mason Gu recovered. He once again turned his inability to save Mason Gu's life into a full-on rage. He kept finding excuses to excuse himself.

Now, facing the crazy Mason Gu, Liam can no longer find a reason. He is the only one who can drive Mason Gu crazy. He asks himself, does he really love Mason Gu? Is this the way you love someone?

No! He loves him! Even if no one believes it!

Liam covered his face, in extreme pain, and filled with guilt. He had so many opportunities to save the situation, but he didn't cherish them. Now he was once again at a crossroads, and he told himself that he must not make the same mistake again this time.

"As long as you get better, I'll do anything for you. You can leave if you want, I'm not lying to you, I'll compensate you, house, car, money, by the way, academically, do you still want to continue studying at A University? Or go abroad, there are better universities abroad than A University. Talk to me, please. No, it's okay, if you don't want to talk, don't talk, I'll change your room for you? You must not like the previous room, it's too depressing, or just change the house?"

Then...I really changed the house as well.

Liam and Mason Gu moved to a villa in the suburbs, a newly developed wealthy neighborhood that was surrounded by mountains and rivers, with fresh air and a large garden full of spring colors and vitality.

"Do you like it? You can come out to see the scenery tomorrow morning. It will be more beautiful."

Mason Gu was completely defeated by He Bingtai. This person was so fickle that he wanted to send people to hell one moment, and then he wanted to praise them to heaven the next. His ups and downs were like a roller coaster. The changes were too fast. Do you really not need to see a psychiatrist?
