When Xie Mu woke up, he was in a plain white room.
The sheets, the bedding, and even the curtains are all white.
He sat up with some effort, his mind slow, not yet recalling what had happened. At this moment, he was still a little dazed, looking around at the unfamiliar setting.
In the air, the smell of gardenias fluttered faintly at the tip of his nose. A man stood with his back to him as he arranged a vase on the table.
The youth subconsciously cried, “Bo Qin.”
Tan Tao’s hand that held the flower stopped for a moment. The eyes that had always appeared warm cooled down, but only for a moment. The faint coldness disappeared under his gold wire glasses.
He pushed up his glasses, then turned his head around with a gentle smile and called out, “Xiao Mu.”
The confusion within Xie Mu’s eyes quickly faded, and only disgust remained. He got out of the bed but as soon as his shoeless, pale feet barely touched the white blanket, both of his legs gave out and he fell to the ground.
The young man did not understand what had happened. He supported his body in order to sit up but found that no matter how much force his hands had, he couldn’t feel anything in his legs.
Well-shined black leather shoes stopped in front of the struggling, powerless Xiu Mu. Tan Tao slowly crouched down, carefully probing as he tried to gently touch the face of the person in front of him.
The youth dodged the slender fingertips before they reached his pale, beautiful face.
He forcefully turned his face away, his expression full of coldness and hate. “What are you trying to do.”
Tan Tao stared at the person in front of him. He used to be so dependent on him, but now his eyes didn’t even hold Tan Tao’s existence in them.
If he hadn’t experienced it before, it was okay.
But this was wrong.
He had once embraced this warmth.
“Xiao Mu, have you forgotten what happened before?”
The seemingly gentle-looking man smiled and reminded him, “Now that Bo Qin has left you, what are you insisting for?”
His hand brushed along the youth’s clothes, beginning with his calves, then slipped slowly and gently all the way up.
Tan Tao could feel how stiff the person beneath him was. He was shivering, wanting to escape.

He didn’t feel that sad about it.

Xie Mu’s neck was beautiful, slender, and elegant. His collarbone had attractive lines—whether before or now, it was still so attractive.
Tan Tao once liked to sit behind Xie Mu. While Xie Mu paid attention to his lectures, Tan Tao liked to stuff little gadgets between that beautiful neckline.
Sometimes it was a pen, sometimes it was an eraser.
This was Tan Tao’s favorite game when he was young.
At that time, he had wanted to put his own hand there countless times, wanted to caress the young man’s smooth spine and watch his face turn red from shyness. He had the bad intention of wanting to watch him want to hide but be unable to escape, only left with the option of being trapped in his arms.
Thinking of this, the man’s gaze sank. His hand slowly slipped under his collar.
“Get out!”
Xie Mu’s face was cold. Although he was unable to avoid it, he still refused to show any weakness, viciously staring at the person in front of him.
Tan Tao held his hand, feeling the delicate smoothness of his touch. He slowly raised his lips and stretched his fingers out.
“We’ve already come to this, but you still haven’t realized?”
“Bo Qin is not like me. He only treats you as an object. When needed, he’ll use you for kisses, and when you are reprimanded and looked down upon, he can’t even admit you are together.”
“Xiao Mu, don’t you see it clearly?”
“If it isn’t like what I said, why did he shut you there and never let you see anyone else?”
Xie Mu’s eyes were full of rejection. He tried to lean back, doing his best to stay away from the person in front of him.
His lips were white and he viciously rebutted, “I was the one who didn’t want to leave, it’s not like what you said at all.”
“Oh?”
The man felt this was a little funny. His eyes were taunting, and he lay unforgivingly on the white blanket, holding the chin of the determined youth with that unrelenting gaze.
It only looked unrelenting.
He was too vulnerable. As long as he held a needle and gently poked at it, he would pop like a balloon.
—Burst open.
Tan Tao thought of this and couldn’t help but smile even wider. He raised his lips and asked softly, “Then why can’t you receive even a single line of real news?”
Xie Mu’s eyes became a little more panicked, but he still strongly showed his support. “Bo Qin was afraid I’d be sad. He was trying to protect me, he…”
“He was afraid you would see it and learn the truth.”
The man interrupted him, sneering, and overturned all the youth’s arguments without hesitation.
“I’m afraid you know best how much Bo Qin loves face. Now everyone under the heavens knows that you and I have been together before.”
“It’s the equivalent of me eating a bowl of rice then throwing it at him.”
He seemed to have pity in his eyes, but also looked proud. “Bo Qin admitting that his boyfriend had been lying under someone else’s body—that’s more difficult than ascending to the heavens…”
Tan Tao watched the youth’s persistent, confident eyes grow weaker and weaker, as clear as the moon reflected upon the water. Even without his deliberate attempts to destroy it, his conviction dispersed.
He scooted over, gently kissing the corner of the youth’s white lips.
“Didn’t you always yearn to live under the sun and everyone’s blessing? Bo Qin will only make you hide like a rat in a ditch, he doesn’t care about you…”
“But I’m not like that.”
“If you want, I’ll announce it to everyone now.”
“You, are my lover.”
“I’ll always protect you, okay?”
The young man looked at him, his face white as paper, his eyes full of confusion. He seemed to have reached an imperative in front of Tan Tao’s gaze.
Xie Mu’s beautiful lips opened slightly to spit out a word.
“No.”
The man’s rising lips halted, his eyes were full of darkness.
The youth looked at him with a hatred that could even be called disdain.
“You don’t deserve to sully Bo Qin.”
“No matter how bad he is, at least he’s open about his actions.”
Xie Mu’s eyes were full of cynicism. “No matter how degenerate I am, I’ll never be with a man who has done just awful things to me before.”
“Tan Tao, I’ll say it again.”
“When I see you, I’m disgusted.”
Was it…disgusting?
Tan Tao slowly sat up, his beautiful slender fingers pressed against his heart.
There, as if surrounded by prickly vines, hurt a bit from time to time.
He thought expressionlessly, it seemed to hurt a little bit today.
It was okay.
Anyways, he was already used to it.
I insulted you, so you don’t want to talk to me, you hate me when you see me, abhor me, loathe me—
What if the man you trusted wholeheartedly and loved was also like this?
Tan Tao got up. He opened the door, and the doctor in the white coat nervously came in.
Xie Mu recognized him as the doctor who had helped him with hypnosis. His heart was puzzled and anxious.
Looking at the youth’s pale eyes, full of vigilance as he stared at him, Tan Tao pushed at his glasses, raised his eyebrows, and smiled.
“Xiao Mu, I’ll wait for you to wake up.”
Then I’ll wait for you to personally push Bo Qin into hell.
