HIStory 3: Trapped Oneshots

Story 3: Lock You Up (TangFei CP)

Tang Yi is inside his office when he lets his mind wander for a bit. All of the things that happened felt like a bad dream, memories passing by in a blur and momentarily making Tang Yi forget that they actually did happen. Xing Tian Meng is finally turning into a legal business group running different types of businesses like clothing stores, restaurants, and jewelry stores. Everything had been peaceful with his life these days that he already forgot he was born unlucky when in fact, it took him twenty-four years to acknowledge it.

He grew up not meeting his parents (but turned out his father was alive but also took his life), having been adopted by two lovely couple-he was treated well but he still felt alone-and just when he is about to lead a happy life with the two without knowing who his real parents were, his foster mother died and he never felt more lonely than he ever did. She was the only one who ever really did love him-aware of the fact that his foster father did not accept him and was only indulging his wife. Now that she was gone, the single thread connecting him and his foster father was immediately cut off and Tang Yi was abused and isolated.

After that, he ran away and was taken by the only one who he treated like a father and once again, as fast as he came, that's how fast he was taken away and Tang Yi was left alone all over again. It would've been fine if he died of an ailment or of old age-because that way, Tang Yi could've said goodbye and sent his regards to the older man-but no, someone took him away from Tang Yi forcefully and that's what drove him for revenge. Life only made him taste heaven for a while before sending him back to hell again.

Then, he decided, if he's going back to hell again anyway, he'd rather bring the one who killed Tang Guo Dong with him. Better than going down there alone, right?

Everyone always leaves him and the only one who stayed was Hong Ye. This is the reason why he protects her with all his might because if she was gone too, Tang Yi wouldn't know what to do. Hong Ye never fails to remind him that someone still waits for him at home, that he still has a family, and he is still loved and needed. He was thankful but the solitary feeling didn't go away, it only grew together with his hatred everyday.

In his path of revenge, an annoyance had showed up.

His name is Meng Shao Fei and for four years, this person always sabotages his plans. He was exasperating, infuriating, troublesome, maddening, vexing-beautiful. He didn't even know they would end up like this; wherein the person he always finds punchable would turn out to be the most important person in his life.

He unveiled everything that is hidden from Tang Yi; the secret of his birth, the murder of Tang Guo Dong and his mother, and the real identity of Chen Wen Hao. He even uncovered Tang Yi's heart in the process and he is someone who kept Tang Yi's hopes alive. Someone who filled the empty and solitary feeling inside his soul. This person protected him, shed tears for him, shared emotions with him, and waited for him no matter how long he had to serve his sentence which turned out to be three years.

The things that happened then had been too fast, he got kicked in the face for not telling his lover that he will be released that day before deciding to surprise him by visiting the police station (he still remembers Shao Fei's delighted shriek)-which is actually not that bad because he was coddled for a week by Shao Fei after that-and is happily leading a happy life with him. He is planning to propose to the other soon but for now, he has to look for a stunning ring that would suit his lover.

Is life finally tired of making Tang Yi suffer and decided to reward him atleast once?

'I hope it is.' is what his mind tells him. He already surpassed his his thirties and if life is not tired by then, fuck it.
