I'll Guide You Slowly

【Obsessive psychiatrist seme x dark-background genius uke】 Chu Yu had no idea what sins he'd committed in his past life to deserve such a disastrous start in this one: at three years old, he was abducted and sold into a drug den run by a vicious criminal gang. They trafficked in organs and drugs, smuggled contraband, and forced the children they'd abducted into theft, begging, and prostitution. He made up his mind to escape the den, thinking at last his luck would change. But the adoptive father who took him in turned out to be an obsessive lunatic. His adoptive father, Wu Yan, was a psychiatrist specializing in criminal psychology. At first, Wu Yan seemed reliable, safe, and righteous. He cared for Chu Yu, raised him, sent him to the best schools, and personally managed every aspect of his life. Chu Yu trusted with all his heart the man who had saved him from the darkness. Though he occasionally sensed that something was wrong, he never gave it much thought. Until those oddities escalated, growing worse and worse. At first, Wu Yan merely checked his schoolbag, cleaned his room, and asked about his studies. Later, Wu Yan wanted to know every little detail, controlling everything from the weather to Chu Yu's friendships and even whether he could go out. Chu Yu increasingly felt that Wu Yan was like a spider, spinning thread after thread to wrap him up and keep him trapped. A suffocating, airtight web: “It's dangerous outside. Home is safe.” “If you go out, you'll die. They'll find you.” “Look at me. Look at me... You have to behave. You're a good boy...” Chu Yu could no longer stand being controlled. After Wu Yan altered his college entrance exam choices, Chu Yu finally resolved to leave the madman. His first escape failed when drug dealers found him. Wu Yan risked his life to save him, then built him a safe room. “Do you like it?” Wu Yan advanced like a demon. “It's safe. You don't need to be afraid. No one can find you.” His second escape failed. Wu Yan sent Chen Sile, the friend who had helped him, abroad and cut off every means of contact between them. “Good boy, don't be scared. Now no one can take you away. You're completely safe.” His third escape failed. Wu Yan could no longer hold back. He nearly killed Chu Yu in bed, replaced his graduate advisor with himself, and even threatened to break his legs. “Didn't you want to study? Didn't you want to leave me?” “Fine. I'll let you study. I'll make sure you spend your whole life by my side, studying where I can keep an eye on you.” Wu Yan grew more and more deranged, until he was barely human. Knowing there was probably no escape for him in this life, Chu Yu could only try to guide him. He tried telling Wu Yan that the criminals had been brought to justice and that he was safe now. Wu Yan: “Exactly. You're safe by my side, so you must stay right next to me. You aren't allowed out of my sight for even a second.” He tried telling Wu Yan that he'd fallen in love with him and wouldn't run away anymore. Wu Yan: “I believe you. So stay close to me, and I'll protect you.” Chu Yu (⊙﹏⊙): ...Why does this man never listen to reason?
