The subsequent incident happened very suddenly, but perhaps not suddenly. Its arrival was premeditated, hidden in the sudden disappearance of his fathers all day long, in the tense atmosphere of the research institute, and perhaps in Jin's inexplicable abnormal emotions that he was not aware of.

In Chi Li's last memory, in the dim laboratory, he saw several strange figures intruding into the laboratory's territory.

Those people were unfamiliar, not from the institute, nor from Loran Royal Family.

There was chaos all around, and Chi Li was locked in a hiding mechanism in the wall, unable to move.

Jin seemed to have expected something and asked him to stay here. His body did not obey his control at all. His heart was pounding as if it was about to jump out of his chest. His limbs followed Jin's last order. He could only watch helplessly as the strange man inserted the needle into the back of Jin's neck.

Jin looked distressed. After a while, the clothes tore apart and the fish tail appeared underneath itself.

Chi Li had difficulty breathing, tears blurred his vision, and he sobbed uncontrollably.

The man seemed to have heard the movement here, and was about to look for the sound when he was caught by the fish's tail. The next second, the sharp blade picked up a corner of Scale and plunged into Jin's tail. Blood flowed all over the ground, but Jin never made a sound.

The man seemed to sense danger and could not delay any longer, so he stabbed the fish's tail a few more times. At the last moment, he did not even look in the direction of Chi Li.

With an attitude that cannot be refused, I let Chi Li hide under the mechanism of the wall. The last sentence is to ask Chi Li to wait for him: Be good and wait for me here.

Chi Li I didn't know it at the time, but now I realize that I was saying goodbye.

Chi Li looked at Jin in a pool of blood, his lip was bitten until it bled. At that time, he only had one thought, he wanted to kill those people.

After that day, time did not give Chi Li any chance to breathe. He could not even find Jin on his own. What made him even more powerless was the expressions of his fathers who were not surprised when they learned about it, but just helpless and sad.

From then on, Chi Li lived in guilt and anxiety. He hated himself for being weak and powerless. He realized that Jin had been protecting him, but why couldn't he protect Jin.

Until chaos ensues, and a few days later, it's the fathers' surprise.

Chi Li was taken away in the chaos and developed a high fever that lasted for half a month.

While he cursed himself, he also sought relief and thought that he should die from the menacing disease.

But he survived.

He also lost memories that would cause him a lifetime of pain.

·

Chi Li When I woke up, my eyes were sore and swollen.

Lost in memories, he shed tears from time to time, crying until he had difficulty breathing, and his eyelashes trembled violently, but he could not wake up completely.

Si Jinyan has been accompanying Chi Li, and Chi Li's pain seems to be attached to him.

Because Chi Li was unconscious, Si Jinyan almost killed Bai Qi in a fit of rage.

After Bai Qi finished helping Chi Li recover his memory that day, the tears flowing from his eyes were bright red, and they were blood, and there was blood oozing out of his ears.

When his attendant saw this scene, he was so worried that he almost cried. Bai Qi comforted the attendant, "It's okay. This is the price. It will be fine in a few days."

One day passed, Chi Li was still unconscious, Bai Qi just said calmly, "He was affected by past memories, and it is normal to fall into a coma. I believe Chi Li, he will wake up."

However, three days later, Chi Li was still like this. Si Jinyan found Bai Qi again. Bai Qi still had a calm and indifferent expression, and what he said was as if it was nothing to do with him, which made Si Jinyan angry.

If it weren't for Lu Jiu's timely insight and the attendant blocking Bai Qi, Bai Qi would never be able to leave completely.

Because the attendant blocked Si Jinyan in time, his cheekbones became red and bruised for a long time.

Bai Qi frowned, looking at Si Jinyan who was extremely emotionally unstable and clenching his fists, he rarely scolded loudly, "Si Jinyan!"

With Lu Jiu's persuasion and Bai Qi's repeated assurances, Si Jinyan's anger calmed down a little, and his golden eyes stared angrily at Bai Qi: "If something goes wrong, I will be the first to come to you."

Bai Qi also showed some impatience and anxiety. "Nothing will happen to him."

Si Jinyan is so angry and blames himself.

He blames himself for listening to what Bai Qi said.

When he fell into a predicament that was difficult to save Chi Li, Bai Qi's words tempted him and made him shaken.

Before Bai Qi appeared here, Bai Qi had contacted Si Jinyan many times, but was rejected by Si Jinyan.

Until Si Jinyan promised Chi Li not to have a baby anymore, and he promised to let Chi Li go. Since then, Chi Li has become indifferent and disgusted with him.

At this time, Si Jinyan received a message from Bai Qi again.

Bai Qi: "I can help you as a trade..."

What Bai Qi wants is obvious. Bai Qi wants the throne, but he does not have any military power. He will not be Yao Di's opponent.

Si Jinyan conquers the hearts of the people and holds most of the military power. These military powers were given to him by the former emperor, and Si Jinyan will always stand on the side of the former emperor. He always abides by the former emperor's will and protects the peace of this territory for him.

The current emperor is Yao Di, but Si Jinyan is not for Yao Di, but for this land and people.

The temptation given by Bai Qi is too great, and the temptation given by Si Jinyan is always just Chi Li.

Under such conditions, Si Jinyan agreed.

However, Chi Li fell into a coma.

Chi Li's tears, the clenched hands in the dream, the sad sobs, the painful expressions, and the sometimes inaudible breathing... all tortured Si Jinyan's nerves, and regret also tortured Si Jinyan, all the time.

Because of his actions, Chi Li was once again in danger.

So Si Jinyan is angry, self-blaming, and sad.

·

On the fourth day, Chi Li finally woke up, but when he opened his eyes, they were still dull and stared blankly at the ceiling.

Si Jinyan took a nap for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw Chi Li waking up as if in an illusion. He was so excited that he even froze for a moment, then he held Chi Li's hand tightly, suppressing his panic and joy, and softly called Chi Li's name, "Chi Li."

When Chi Li looked at Si Jinyan, his eyes seemed to be looking farther away through Si Jinyan. The hollowness and sadness in his eyes made Si Jinyan's heart drop.

Si Jinyan noticed that Chi Li was reciting something but didn't hear it clearly, so he moved closer to Chi Li's lips, but he only heard a single tone.

Si Jinyan frowned. "What?"

Chi Li did not speak any more, but looked at him with complicated eyes, pity and sadness.

Si Jinyan's heart dropped and he couldn't bear it any longer. He leaned close to Chi Li's forehead. Regardless of how much Chi Li hated him before, he comforted him in a low voice, "Chi Li, Chi Li, it's okay. Just wake up and don't think about it anymore."

Si Jinyan is comforting Chi Li, and he is also comforting himself.

In the past few days, the fear of losing Chi Li has struck again, followed by that day - Chi Li pointed the knife in his hand directly at himself and stared at him coldly.

Si Jinyan will never forget that scene no matter what.

Si Jinyan once again felt that as long as Chi Li could be alive, awake, and healthy, there was nothing more important than this. If Chi Li wanted to go home, as long as he opened his eyes and told him, he would send Chi Li back immediately.

If Chi Li wants him to disappear, as long as Chi Li wakes up and tells him, he will leave immediately and never appear in front of Chi Li again.
