Surrender I

Gunshots cut through the silence.

Xu Ye watched helplessly as the bright red blood spread on that warm chest little by little, like a coquettish flower blooming on a white shirt.In the boundless darkness, Chu Yu looked at him with sad eyes.When the strong wind picked up, the outline was shattered into fine red gravel, and it was blown to nowhere.There was no sound in the shrill screams, and despair surged into a huge wave and swallowed him.

He woke up in a cold sweat, and it took him a long time to break free from the nightmare, and took a few deep breaths to settle down, as if he wanted to expel all the suffocating air stuck in his chest.

A small night light kept in the room glowed bright yellow.Xu Ye got up and opened the window, the late autumn night wind was blowing a bit cold.He put on his clothes and sat quietly by the window, looking at the night sky covered by clouds and the moon, and closed his eyes tiredly.

It's been ten days.It has been so long since Chu Yu left.He disappeared from the world as if out of thin air, without any news.Although he only said lightly to deal with some trivial matters, Xu Ye knew in his heart that these matters were too dangerous for him to be distracted to take care of himself, otherwise he would not have left himself alone in the Chu family's headquarters.The atmosphere in the main residence of the Chu family was also tense, and Xu Ye could see many serious-looking people coming in and out of here every day.The eldest son, Chu Qin, and the third youngest, Chu Xuan, hardly ever came back.All the battles are going on where he can't see, and the only thing floating on the surface is the stock price of Golden Eagle fluctuating up and down.

For fear that he could barely fall asleep, even if he was so exhausted that he would suffer from nightmares.In the dream, he lost Chu Yu again and again.The nightmare tormented him, almost dragging him down.Two days ago, he had to ask the old man's personal doctor to prescribe sleeping pills for him.

It was like going back to the days before I met Chu Yu, feeling restless and suffocated.The old house is located in the east, so he ran to the construction site every day, followed by a group of bodyguards.I put down my chopsticks and devote myself to work after eating two mouthfuls of rice every day, as if I can stop myself from thinking about that person.

Sleepless nights were particularly difficult, Xu Ye glanced at the medicine bottle on the table, and sighed helplessly.Just about to get up to take the medicine, out of the corner of her eye, she saw the figure in the courtyard downstairs and was stunned.

The moon emerged from the clouds, and the clear and bright light silently fell on the man, blurring the outline.Xu Ye's eyes became moist.

The stars didn't know where to hide, and the wind calmed down.

He stood by the window of the second-floor building, while the man looked up at him, and said with a tired face: "Miss me?"

"...No." Xu Ye answered inappropriately, but the water in his eyes couldn't hold any longer and slipped from the corners of his eyes.

"Lie." Chu Yu showed his face and smiled, "Why are you crying, didn't I come back?"

The moment he went upstairs and hugged Xu Ye who was wearing pajamas into his arms, the man's body and mind, which had been tense for many days, finally relaxed.This familiar and warm feeling was what he had been missing all the time. He unconsciously tightened his arms and hugged the person in his arms even tighter.

I became so thin within a few days, I must have not eaten properly.Chu Yu glanced over the glaring medicine bottles beside the bed and the scattered materials on the table, feeling pain in his heart, let go of him, and frowned: "What medicine are you taking?"

Seeing that the other party's expression was unkind, Xu Ye hesitated for a while, and said hesitantly: "I can't sleep well at night, so... I went to the doctor, and he said..."

"You need sleeping pills to sleep now, don't you?"

"Master..." Xu Ye looked at him in panic and helplessness like a rabbit whose tail had been grabbed.

"I left for ten days, and you made yourself look like this." That expression made people feel distressed and angry. Thinking of how he had lived like this for ten days, the fire in Chu Yu's heart completely burned.He threw the coat he was wearing on the chair, pulled out the belt, and said coldly, "Kneel down."

Xu Ye who heard the order knelt down silently.

"Tell me who you are."

"I am your slave."

"Tell me about your rights."

"All my rights come from your grant."

"Tell me about your obligations."

"To make you happy..." When he said these four words, Xu Ye lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on the ground.

Suddenly, a sharp gust of wind blew past my ears, followed by the crisp sound of the thick leather belt slapping against the ground.Xu Ye trembled all over, and raised his face in panic.

Chu Yu's deep eyes are like the vast and cold night, but they also have a quiet and soft gentleness.He stared at the man kneeling on the ground and asked, "You think I'd be happy if I made myself like this?"

Xu Ye's eyes trembled, his nose turned sore, and he said, "I was wrong, master...forgive me..."

"Next, I should help you recall the rules." The man squeezed his jaw, forcing him to look up at himself, "What should be the first thing you do when you see me back?"

Xu Ye was dazed for a while before remembering the "rules" set up before, and replied with some embarrassment: "Go to the door to greet you, and then take the initiative to greet..."

"What did you just do?"

Xu Ye felt a little wronged, but he didn't dare to argue, so he could only muffled: "I was wrong..."

"I'll give you a chance to make amends." Chu Yu sat by the bed and threw the belt aside.This thing would turn up the skin and flesh if it was pumped, it was impossible for him to really use it on Xu Ye.

His slave stood up and approached, closing his eyes and pressing his lips together.Seeing no response from the other party, he opened his eyes in embarrassment, and called out softly, "Master..."

"You only have this little enthusiasm for me?" The man looked at him with a half-smile, "Take off your clothes and come to bed.
