Yu Shuyin was born into a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.
One day,
she arranged to have dinner with her boyfriend, but through a mix-up,
she ended up sharing a table with He Jinzhen.
Realizing what had happened, Yu Shuyin quickly apologized. "I'm sorry, I got the wrong table."
It was an unexpected encounter.
He Jinzhen forced his way into Yu Shuyin's life, maneuvering carefully at every turn, always ready to attack or defend.
On Mid-Autumn Festival, Yu Shuyin's boyfriend's flight was delayed.
But He Jinzhen appeared downstairs from her apartment. He smiled faintly and spoke in a clear, elegant voice. "Yu Shuyin, I don't mind having a secret relationship with you."
Yu Shuyin could only think he was crazy. She said solemnly, "I have a boyfriend."
"I don't mind."
Until one day,
Yu Shuyin saw the medicine on his desk, and surprise crept into her eyes.
But to He Jinzhen, she looked at him as if he were a monster.
He clutched Yu Shuyin tightly, as if gone mad, covering her frightened eyes as he murmured in her ear, "Be good. I'll get better."
Afraid of hearing her reject him, He Jinzhen removed the external cochlear implant processor and looked straight at her with his dark eyes. "Don't leave me. Stay with me tonight."
Unable to hear her refusal, he took her silence as agreement, stopped her from leaving, and confined her within his territory.
But later, when Yu Shuyin prepared to leave him,
He Jinzhen resorted to despicable means to keep her, taking a large amount of medication. Yu Shuyin rushed him to the hospital.
Out of sympathy, Yu Shuyin came to see him.
"You care about me, don't you?"
Yu Shuyin typed on her phone: It's basic human compassion.
He reached out and gripped Yu Shuyin's wrist tightly, saying fiercely, "Then be merciful and give me what I want."
The needle tip drew a long streak of blood across the back of his hand.
