The flute played a cheerful Italian melody.

Above the magnificent ballroom, the dim light fell on the floor, presenting an extreme coldness.

Qin Wu lay on the single sofa with his two bloody hands spread on the armrests, allowing the doctor to treat his wounds.

His mother couldn't stop crying and sat beside him with her shoulders twitching, but Qin Wu himself was indifferent, staring at the half-moon that was faintly visible outside the window.

After bandaging one of the wounds, Mrs. Qin finally took a deep breath, calmed down a little, pulled a chair over and sat next to him, and asked him seriously with a nasal voice: "Awu, can't you just give up on her? You saw today that one of them is now a nationally renowned cartoonist, and the other is not disabled at all. In the future, she will most likely inherit the Wen Group. The most important thing is..."

She tried to hold it back, but couldn't bear it any longer and raised her voice: "The most important thing is that bitch Ye Kong is simply a lunatic! Did you see what she looked like today? She really dares to use a knife or a gun to kill you! Do you really want to die in her hands?!"

"..."

Qin Wu then moved his eyes, and his moonlit eyeballs moved slightly, staring at his mother's distorted face without any emotion.

"Ah."

He said: "If I have to die, I really want to die in her hands."

"..." Mrs. Qin held her breath and stared at him in silence for a long time. When she opened her mouth, she lowered her voice again, "Can you tell me why?"

"I love her." He looked away.

"...What is so good about her?" Mrs. Qin stood up and paced back and forth in front of the terrace like a trapped beast.

The moonlight and the light cast her shadow on the ground, moving back and forth like a floating ghost.

"Why do you love her? Have you ever thought about how mom and dad feel? How sad mom would be to see you like this? You love her? Have you ever thought about how mom loves you? Would mom be afraid that you would get hurt?!"

"So what?" Qin Wu didn't even raise his eyelids.

"...Qin Wu, how could you say such a thing?" Mrs. Qin was incredulous and extremely sad. "Did your mother not love you enough since you were a child? Or did your marriage with your father affect you? How could you become such a cold-hearted and twisted person?"

Qin Wu was silent for two seconds, as if he finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

He suddenly laughed, his head tilted back, his eyes on his pale face looked even deeper and deeper, staring at Mrs. Qin lightly: "Mom, you should accept that most of these things are born into people - although you are not satisfied, I am sorry..."

He shrugged: "Your son is such a cold-hearted and twisted person - so the cold-hearted and crazy Ye Kong and I are a perfect match."

"..."

Mrs. Qin's face twitched slightly: "You are clearly a love-brained person."

Suppressing her anger, she sat down again: "But Wu, Mom really doesn't think you love her - maybe you just want to conquer her? Because she is very powerful, better at chess than you, she ignores you, and can see through people's hearts. She can't be defeated even if you beat her - so, that's why you want to conquer her and make her submit to you."

"Awu." She sat a little closer, trying to let her son see her sincerity, "This is just an instinctive desire to conquer. Anyone would want to conquer a special, excellent and powerful person of the opposite sex, but Awu, this is not love!"

"Even if it's what you said, why isn't this love?"

"If I am willing to give my all to conquer someone, then why is this not love? Even if I really only have a desire to conquer her, compared to her submission and obedience to me, what I think about more in my mind is... clearly the scene of playing chess with her."

Qin Wu pulled the corner of his mouth and tilted his head to look at the moon behind the clouds: "There is a moon as beautiful as tonight, with fruits placed aside, wind and insects chirping..."

His expression and tone were very tired, and he spoke so slowly that it seemed like he was about to fall asleep at any moment: "And Ye Kong."

"I have lived for more than twenty years, but I only remember the summer when I was seventeen."

"When I'm with her, time seems to slow down. The weather, smells, and sounds all become traceable - my heart beats fast, but I feel very quiet, a quiet I've never felt before."

His chest rose and fell with long intervals between each movement and his breathing was slow.

He withdrew his gaze from the moon and slowly fell on his mother's stunned face.

"You've never imagined myself like this, have you? I've been reborn into a lucky person, but my life has been so busy and yet so boring since I was born."

"You said I just wanted to conquer her - but I don't care if she doesn't treat me well. She can always ignore me, but she has to stay by my side."

"..."

Mrs. Qin kept her eyes slightly open.

The doctor started giving Qin Wu an injection only after he had almost bandaged the wound.

The only sound in the quiet room was slow breathing.

So Mrs. Qin's voice seemed particularly sudden.

"Then why were you so cruel to her?"

Qin Wu paused, meeting his mother's gaze.

"When we first caught her, it was you who suggested having her interrogated, right? It was also your suggestion to beat her, wasn't it?"

The woman stood up, took a deep breath, and looked at him with some pity: "Do you think this is also a sign of love?"

Qin Wu had no expression on his face: "It's a trick."

The woman shook her head. “You’re hopeless.”

"Although I don't know Wen Can, but judging from the scene just now, his love is far more than yours, and it is healthy, deep, and full."

Qin Wu raised his head and looked at her: "Do you know what love is?"

"..."

"You haven't felt it yourself, nor have you given it, how dare you make a judgment so easily? Did your father love you? Or did you love him?"

"..."

Qin Wu retracted his gaze and watched the medicine in the syringe being pushed into the blood vessels. His pupils tightened and his expression was almost a little crazy: "Unhealthy love is still love."

“I will never let go.”

There was a knock on the door at this moment.

Qin Wu looked up and heard Zhu He whisper outside the door: "Sir, it's President Wen who's here. He seems to have something to say."

Qin Wu narrowed his eyes: "Let him in."

The doctor treated him, stood up and said, "Your injury is serious and requires surgery, but there is no equipment on the ship. My suggestion is to return to the ship and go to the emergency room. Also, you have a special blood type, so it's best to have the hospital prepare in advance."

When the door opened, Mrs. Qin stood up and asked anxiously, "What if I don't have the surgery?"

The doctor looked at her and said: "If you don't have surgery, this hand will probably just be a decoration. If it's serious, it will be difficult to cure the varicose veins."

"Awu!" Mrs. Qin looked at Qin Wu eagerly.

Wen Rong paused at the door, then walked in while observing.

"Awu! Return to the ship immediately! We are going to the hospital for surgery!"

"no!"

——The person who blurted out this was not Qin Wu, but Wen Rong.

Everyone paused.

After a while, Qin Wu raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a deep smile.

He turned to look at Wen Rong and tilted his head: "Boss Wen, do you have any ideas?"
