A pill, colorless and tasteless, dissolved in the water glass.
Huo Siyu soon fell asleep after almost finishing the drink; without the need for butler or maids, Huo Tianqi and Situ together assisted Huo Siyu to the nearest bedroom.
After forty-eight hours without sleep, now brought down by the pill, Huo Siyu still slept restlessly, frowning tightly, with uneven breathing, as if even in his dreams he was seething with anger.
"How could this happen..." Huo Tianqi muttered to himself.
He had already stopped opposing Huo Siyu being with Shen Li, for opposition was futile. Huo Siyu would not be hurt if he broke off their relationship, but he couldn't bear it. In this struggle, he had lost completely; he could not leave Huo Siyu—it had been like this since they were children. Even though he always claimed to be the elder.
Then Huo Siyu wanted to marry Shen Li, which he truly couldn't approve of, for the pressure Huo Siyu would have to face was too great.
And now... Shen Li was lost.
