A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

Chi Ruiche was placed in a ward at the end of the corridor. The nurse gave him an injection to reduce his fever. The cool liquid was slowly delivered into his body, and drowsiness immediately took over his brain, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Abu stayed with Jiang Yi for a while before sending a message to Lü Haotian, asking him to take good care of Jiang Yi, as he couldn't leave for the time being.

As night fell, nightmares, like dark shadows, silently entwined Chi Ruiche's soul, dragging him into the abyss.

Chi Ruiche was wearing a dark blue suit. His legs were restrained by an unknown force. The pool in front of him was churning with water, and the splashing water suddenly left the pool and surged up, covering Chi Ruiche.

Chi Ruiche fell into the water, her familiar figure bobbing up and down. The icy water filled her throat, making it hard to breathe.

"all!"

Chi Ruiche struggled to swim over, but every time he touched Jiang Yi, she drifted further away from him. Time and time again, he watched helplessly as Jiang Yi suffered.

The blue pool water turned black, and the swimming pool became an endless sea. Jiang Yi was lifted up by the waves, and Chi Ruiche saw her pale face and tightly closed eyes.

"Yi-yi, I'm here. Open your eyes."

The person in the water did not respond. Waves lapped against his skin, and water droplets dripped from his hair onto his face. The pain in his chest made him begin to lose control of his body.

The rolling waves washed the two of them ashore. Jiang Yi lay quietly on the beach, her disheveled hair stained with sand.

"all!"

Chi Ruiche ran over and collapsed next to her, his outstretched hand trembling as he dared not touch her, his hand hovering over her nose.

He pressed against her chest, continuously breathing into Jiang Yi's mouth, repeating this over and over again, not daring to stop, but the person in front of him did not react at all.

"Yi-yi, it's me, Che. Can you hear me?"

His calls became the most useless words again, and after an unknown amount of time, the girl still did not answer him.

Chi Ruiche picked up Jiang Yi and tried to wipe her face clean, but water droplets or tears still fell on Jiang Yi's face. "I'm sorry, let me wipe it clean for you."

Chi Ruiche's reddened hands trembled as he wiped, but the water droplets seemed to be deliberately making things worse, increasing with each wipe.

"don't want…"

Jiang Yi's cold body remained unresponsive, lying still without breathing or any signs of life. The cold, desolate sea breeze blew past, stinging every inch of her skin.

"I was wrong, don't leave me..."

His world was plunged into immense darkness, the vibrant world turned gray, and he could no longer utter a word as the darkness blinded him.

He stood in the courtyard, and a familiar figure ran past him. The boy was wearing a white tracksuit, and his short, black hair flew back as he ran, his silhouette radiating light in the sunlight.

"all?"

With a fair complexion, bright and intelligent eyes, and red lips with a captivating sheen, her cheeks flushed from running, that was fourteen-year-old Jiang Yi, both flamboyant and innocent.

Grandpa Chi stood in the courtyard, his face stern, and questioned, "Do you know you're wrong?"

Chi Ruiche tried to reach out and grab Jiang Yi, but everything was happening faster and faster. The rattan cane rained down on Jiang Yi, and the girl clung tightly to the boy kneeling on the ground.

"Xiao Si, you should leave quickly."

When 21-year-old "Chi Ruiche" saw Jiang Yi rushing towards him again, he roared anxiously. His dry throat made his voice hoarse, and the pain in his back made his movements slow, but he struggled to pull Jiang Yi into his arms.

"I'm here. Let's see who dares to bully you."

The girl was breathing heavily, the whipping she had just endured causing her excruciating pain, but she still smiled sweetly with raised eyebrows.
