Languor || Zhong Chenle

Guardian

"The guardian started harming the boy by saying things that triggered the boy's trauma."

"He simply became a parasite to the boy and won't help the boy cope with his emotions."

"The boy's body is still intact but his emotion are a mess."

"What happened to the boy afterwards?"

Chenle stopped for a while. Savoring a sip from his now cold drink.

"The boy struggled to live eversince, the end."

Xiao Yue's eyes widen.

"What?"

"What?"

I'm puzzled by the ending of his story. Was it intentional for him to tell topic of "two sides"?

Why did he told me such thing. This isn't what i expected from the boy that smiled sweetly just a moment ago.

"U-uh why did you tell me this story, who is the boy anyway?"

He smiled.

He reach for a golden rope on his side of the wall.

A few seconds later Sebastian walks in with a new warm cup of Chenle's drink. Which i don't even know what inside.

"May i serve you some tea My Lady?" Sebastian asked me.

I nod.

After Sebastian walks out the door i turned my head to Chenle again.

"So?"

"I wanted to tell you this story because the boy is me dear."

"Wait, so are you emotionally unstable now?"

"Think what you want to think but i told you that because now you are involved with the story."

A pang of unknown feelings flew over my chest.

"I still don't know why that would be something for you to tell all of those."

"Because the boy's guardian might have targeted you as a danger."

"Would he harm me in any way?"

"He prefers to deal with danger the way he dealt my so called father."

"Um, just before we continue, who is your father exactly?"

"A cult leader that had been stabbed so many times that his organs poured out of his body."

I am beyond shocked. The fact that he said something so nauseating without changing his expression.

A realization just hit me.

Oh, no.

So that means Chenle's guardian killed his father?

By stabbing him so many times that-

I can't continue.

But Chenle said as if its was his guardian's preference.

So did he killed people that way?

"So, you are saying that you don't want to kill people, its just what your guardian wants to do?

He chuckled.

For a few moments i was petrified.

His wry laugh isn't the one he claimed to have. Is he acting now? What just happened?

"I didn't say that i don't want it though."

"What do you mean?"

"It was fun playing with you."

"What?"

What did he meant by playing?

Wait.

Did he lie about him being innocent at the 127 base?

Of course not...

Right?

"Did you lie to me at the 127 base earlier?"

"Get out fool."
