Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 642 I Will Strangle You

“I don’t like you at all.”

“Who do you think I am?”

Chu Lui sneered, “I want to strangle you to death.”

“Same goes for me. Your face makes me wretch.”

“Your bag of bones disgusts me.”

One after another, both of them looked as if they were talking. However, only they themselves knew how scary the explosives between them were. Luckily, they still knew that they could only move their mouths and not take action. If not, they would really fight till one of them ended up dead.

“Daddy...” Suddenly, a voice interrupted their conversation which made both men stop talking. Almost at the same time, they both turned and smiled.

A coffin-like smile-stiff.

A smile from a bag of bones-ugly.

Rainy bit her small fist then ran over.

Chu Lui extended her hand, and so did Gao Yi; but as expected, Rainy was not at all interested in Chu Lui’s hand and climbed onto Gao Yi’s lap.

Then, she took out a lollipop from behind and placed it in Gao Yi’s hand.

“Mommy said Daddy is sick so Rainy brought candy for Daddy.”

“Thank you.” Gao Yi held the child tightly and brandished the candy in the air. The smile on his face was like a dagger to Chu Lui’s heart.

He did it on purpose. On purpose.

Suddenly, Chu Lui stood up and walked into his room as fast as the wind before slamming the door shut.

“What’s wrong with Uncle?” Rainy blinked in curiosity before biting her fist again.

“Ignore him, he’s crazy.”

Gao Yi rubbed Rainy’s head. “Come on, Daddy will bring you out for a walk.”

“Okay.” Rainy clapped her hands. “I want to pick flowers.”

“Okay, let’s go pick flowers.” Gao Yi smiled and looked up at the welcoming color of the sky. Even though he was skinny, but when he looked up at the blue sky, his gaze became clearer.

He lay down and let Chu Lui tie him into a dumpling. The discomfort attacked him once again and caused his head to spin; he knew his drug addiction was kicking in again.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes.

“Are you trying to kill me?”

“Am I?” Chu Lui used his brute force to tie a dead knot. To think he was denying it, this was absolutely plain murder.

After he was done, he clapped his hand.

He was delighted upon seeing the Gao Yi that he had tied up. His tying method was not bad; he should enjoy it.

Gao Yi tried to struggle and get the ropes off him, but his struggle only made it worse.

Slowly, he started to relax and stopped moving.

It was good that the rope was tight anyway; if not, he might do something stupid.

After about half an hour, his entire body was filled with sweat; and his clothes were drenched. He breathed heavily as if he was exhausting all his strength.

“Do you want to see?” Chu Lui asked as he passed a mirror to him.

Gao Yi closed his eyes and ignored him.

Sorry, he would not be easily angered by this method to ridicule him.

He spat lightly. He felt much better nowadays, and he was not in as much pain as he was in the past. Perhaps he was really getting better.

He exhaled the suppressed air in his lungs. He closed his eyes as he was very tired, and once he relaxed, he entered into a deep slumber.

When he woke up, Xia Ruoxin was already there.

“You’re awake?” She walked over and placed her hand on his forehead.

“Yeah, I am.” Gao Yi sat up straight, his head was still aching.

“Drink some water.” Xia Ruoxin brought a cup of water over. The water had some sugar and salt in it to replenish the bodily fluid inside his body as he had sweat too much. If he continued, he might become dehydrated.

“Thank you.” Gao Yi took the cup and drank it in big gulps till it was gone. Then, he lay back on the pillow. It was like this every day. After several rounds, it was as if every ounce of energy in his body was lost; especially when he was in his fainting state, he did not have any energy to even lift his hand.

“Where’s he?” Gao Yi asked suddenly.

“Outside. Not sure what’s wrong with him.” Xia Ruoxin took a towel to wipe Gao Yi’s hands and did not talk much about the person as if she was reluctant.

Actually, she was reluctant, very reluctant. “Actually, he’s not that bad.” Gao Yi leaned forward. Surprisingly, he was talking for that man. It was hard to imagine as just a while back, the two of them were like enemies and could not even stand the sight of each other.

“You’re speaking for him, huh.” Xia Ruoxin took his other hand and wiped it, only to find the traces of rope burn on his wrist, which clouded her eyes. “If this goes on, I’m afraid your wrist will break.”

She threw the towel into the water pot and took out a box of medicine from the drawer. She opened it and started applying medication to him slowly. She placed Gao Yi’s arm on her knee and carefully cleaned his wound... even though she knew it would not help much as he would still need to be tied up after she cleaned it.

His body had new and old wounds; other than the rope being tight, the others were self-inflicted and also from the clashes between the few people. It was a tough and rough journey for him.

Actually, there were quite a few times that she wanted to give up and give him the drug upon seeing his miserable state. However, she still tolerated in the end; and she was glad she did.

After suffering for a while, the suffering would not continue on forever.

“It’s okay.” Gao Yi took away his hand. “It will get better slowly. You don’t have to clean it. My skin is pretty thick. Don’t blame him, too. If it’s not tight, I might cause greater harm.”

No one knew if he did it on purpose or not.

Xia Ruoxin added another crime to Chu Lui’s list: not knowing how to tie ropes.

Chu Lui had also noticed that Xia Ruoxin was treating him even more coldly, but he did not know exactly what he did wrong to offend her.

He used all his might to tie Gao Yi’s ropes; he wanted to just strangle him to death.

“You can do it tighter.”

Gao Yi peeled on his lips nonchalantly. “Anyway, if she sees the injury on my wrist, she would know that you did it.”

“Despicable.” Chu Lui instantly understood what Gao Yi meant.

No wonder the woman had been ignoring him.

“Thank you.” Gao Yi was as though allowing others to randomly slice him; they could even kill him if they wished.

Oh. Suddenly, Chu Lui pulled on the rope tight and almost caused him to not be able to breathe.
