We agreed it was just a hug, why did you actually do it?

Feng Kai hung up the phone while Su Weile was still stunned.

A while later, a video was sent over.

The video showed a place resembling a clinic. Feng Kai's phone slowly scanned every corner, and Su Weile saw Uncle Xu and his bodyguard sitting on a stool, both staring at a large screen.

Then Feng Kai's camera turned to the big screen, and Su Weile forgot to breathe the moment she saw it.

On the big screen, he immediately saw that Tang Shaowu was sleeping on the recliner.

Across from him sat a man in a white coat, who was looking at his watch and making notes.

The video ends.

After a while, Feng Kai must have gone to a place where it was convenient to talk again.

"Tang Shaowu is not doing well. Since you left, he has become anxious and suffers from insomnia. Apart from working like crazy and video chatting with you, he hardly speaks at all."

He didn't really believe you would come back, and to be honest, I didn't really believe it either.

Tang Shaowu is too obsessive, and the love he wants is too extreme. A lover like that would make you feel very tired.

We were all surprised that he let you go this time. He truly loves you, that's why he did this.

Xiaoman and I haven't told you the truth about Tang Shaowu because we were worried it would affect your judgment. If you don't plan to come back, we think it might be a good thing for you.

Tears streamed down her face like a dam breaking. "Brother Kai, what happened to him? Why is he sleeping in the clinic?"

Feng Kai sighed softly. "This is a psychological clinic. Tang Shaowu never accepts any psychological treatment, but this is a place Yan Zhengke found for him. He comes here every day to receive hypnosis. This will give him a short period of sleep."

He usually comes over around this time because you two video chat in the evening. He didn't expect you to video chat with him so early today.

"I don't know, I really didn't know he was in such a bad state. He chats with me every day and we video chat, and he always seems normal."

He said he would wait for me, without asking when I would return. But... but I didn't intend to make him wait very long, so why doesn't he believe me?

Feng Kai could tell that Su Weile was genuinely distressed. "Lele, don't worry, we'll all be watching over him. You... you can come back whenever you want."

Tang Shaowu has been working on two major projects simultaneously lately, so he's probably a bit tired. Don't worry too much.

Feng Kai had just offered Su Weile a few words of comfort when a voice came from inside the consultation room, and the phone was abruptly hung up.

Su Weile glanced at the time; Tang Shaowu had only slept for two hours.

It's only been two hours, and they already need to use hypnosis?

----------------------------------------

Tang Shaowu's headaches have recently reached a new level.

During the last time he had a severe headache, he experienced visual disturbances; a blind spot appeared in his visual center. Yan Zhengke took him for a very detailed examination.

The conclusion was that the tumor in his head seemed to be working in conjunction with his persistent headaches.

The tumor seemed to be lurking in his mind, ready to act at any moment if Tang Shaowu's condition was not good or his emotions were off.

Feng Kai said, "This really is Tang Shaowu's biological son! He's just like his master—ruthless, wicked, and clever. He'll be tough to deal with!"

Tang Shaowu closed his eyes and leaned quietly against the back of the car. He suddenly recalled the moment he discovered he had a tumor in his brain.

His roommate was a man in his forties who had been tormented by illness to the point of losing all dignity.

At night, he would bang his head against the wall and kneel before the nurses, just to get a strong painkiller.

He would threaten to jump off the window to force his wife to have surgery on him as soon as possible because he couldn't take it anymore.

Tang Shaowu watched all of this with a cold eye, his head throbbing with pain. It felt like there was a hammer inside his head, rhythmically hammering away.

The man, his face streaked with tears and snot, said resentfully, "Why is it that both of you have brain tumors, but you don't feel any pain while I'm in excruciating pain? The doctor must have given you some good medicine, right?"

Tang Shaowu said coldly, "Go ahead and jump. You won't feel any pain anymore, and I can stay here in peace."

Later, that person really quieted down, not because he got better, nor because he jumped down, but because after finally getting the surgery he wanted, he was completely paralyzed, losing the ability to speak and move.

At that moment, Tang Shaowu wanted to ask him, "Are you still in pain?"

-----------------------------

Tang Shaowu never complained: Why can others be healthy, but I have to get such a serious illness? Why do some people never experience pain in their entire lives, but he has to go through it countless times?

He was used to being powerful, and even when facing fate, he was not good at bowing down.

Tang Shaowu never uses medications that cause excessive dependence, and even when he is in great pain, he never gets highly effective injections.

A slight smirk appeared on her lips as she couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly: Even the most meticulous plans can have flaws; she never imagined that the person she was most dependent on and addicted to was Su Weile.

Su Weile has been gone for a week, without mentioning that she would come back, but the number of phone calls and video calls she makes each day is increasing.

Tang Shaowu understood Feng Kai and Zhou Xiaoman's intentions. He wouldn't hold their favoritism towards Su Weile against him; his Lele deserved everyone's favoritism.

Yesterday, Yan Zhengke asked him, "How much longer can you endure this?"

He laughed and said, "Don't you all think I've finally had a change of heart and am going to spare his life?"

Yan Zhengke said expressionlessly, "Perhaps you have thought about it."

Tang Shaowu had seriously considered it; he was always able to endure, so perhaps he could try to keep enduring it.

After all, given my current state, I probably won't need to endure it for too long.

But he really couldn't guarantee it; this was the first time he had ever felt so insecure about himself.

Tang Shaowu believed that no one could understand his longing for Su Weile. Every minute Su Weile was away was so painful and unbearable for him.

Everyone has been watching him closely, worried that he might repeat his self-harming behavior. Little do they know that ever since Su Weile left, he has been engaging in the most severe form of self-harm every single moment.

"Su Weile, you'd better come back on your own initiative, otherwise, if I can't take it anymore, neither of us might end up well..."

The car stopped at Jinhai General Hospital, and Tang Shaowu was able to pull himself out of his complicated thoughts.

Uncle Xu's voice rang out softly, "Young Master, we've arrived."

The bodyguard got out of the car first, walked over to Tang Shaowu's side, and opened the car door. He habitually glanced around, but when his gaze fell on one spot, he suddenly stopped.

Su Weile stood at the hospital entrance, still dressed as handsomely and eye-catching as ever, but he had visibly lost a lot of weight.

Tang Shaowu's car was very eye-catching, and Su Weile would easily spot it.

However, with so many people coming and going in the hospital, when the bodyguard looked back at his young master, he discovered that Tang Shaowu had already spotted Su Weile.

The two stared at each other across the crowd. After a rare, brief moment of surprise, Tang Shaowu smiled genuinely, a smile he hadn't shown on his face for a week.

He calmly stared at Lele in the car, while Su Weile opposite him resembled a raging little leopard, her whole body seemingly burning with flames.

Tang Shaowu's smile deepened, while Su Weile's eyes grew even redder.

The two people were so far apart, yet they spoke almost simultaneously and unconsciously:

Tang Shaowu, "Little Fool".

Su Weile: "You bastard!"
