Chapter 4 - Brought back to china

Kenniji learned of Yan Ting's hospitalization and promptly visited him the next morning.

**Boguji Hospital - Yan Ting's Ward**

Upon entering the ward, Kenniji found Yan Ting lying in bed, softly uttering his name.

"Ken... Kenniji, please don't leave me. Kenniji," Yan Ting murmured.

Kenniji tightly clasped Yan Ting's hands. "Yan Ting! Yan Ting! I'm so sorry. Please wake up! I promise to protect you forever!" he cried, his voice breaking as tears flowed down his cheeks.

The warmth of Kenniji's tears fell upon Yan Ting's hands, stirring him from his slumber.

"Ken... Kenniji?" Yan Ting asked softly.

"Yes, it's me," Kenniji responded.

With considerable effort, Yan Ting raised his hands to touch Kenniji's face. "Ken... Kenniji. I missed you," he said gently.

"Ting, don't worry; I will always be here for you," Kenniji reassured him.

From that moment on, Kenniji and Yan Ting became inseparable. Yan Ting embraced a more feminine identity, which sparked a wave of gossip among the neighbors in his apartment complex.

**Two Weeks Later**

Several neighbors, including Wang Ping, Yan Ting's mother, witnessed Yan Ting and Kenniji share a kiss outside their building.

Upon returning home, Yan Ting found Wang Ping waiting for him in the hallway.

"Mum! I'm back!" he announced cheerfully.

"Stop right there! What were you and Kenniji doing downstairs just now?!" Wang Ping demanded, anger evident in her tone.

"Mum... I... I've been in love with him for a year. I'm sorry, but we're dating," Yan Ting confessed, looking down in shame.

Wang Ping slapped him across the face. "What did you just say?! Dating?! Do you realize both of you are men? Do you have any idea what people are saying about you?! Because of this, his parents have cut ties with me and insisted we return to China!" she cried, her voice filled with frustration.

"But Mum! I can have a child! I can get pregnant! I'll talk to his parents tomorrow. Please don't worry," Yan Ting pleaded.

Wang Ping pushed him down onto the floor. "Do you understand?! Because of you, I lost my job! And now the neighbors are talking badly about both of you, calling you madmen! Crazy!" she yelled.

Despite injuring his leg in the fall, Yan Ting stood firm.

"Mum! I will never give up on Kenniji! I will fight for him until the end!" he declared.

"Then you want me to die?! Fine! I'll jump out the window right now!" Wang Ping shouted, rushing toward the kitchen window. Yan Ting sprinted after her, pulling her back and holding her tightly.

"Mum! Please! I love Kenniji so much! Don't force me to break up with him! He's the reason I recovered from my fever last month!" Yan Ting sobbed.

"I'll give you two weeks to end things with him! Regardless, we're going back to China in two weeks," Wang Ping stated resolutely.

"What?! We're returning to China?! Why?!" Yan Ting gasped in shock.

"We're losing our jobs because of your selfish love! Don't you understand?!" Wang Ping retorted angrily.

"Losing... losing jobs because of me?! We can find other jobs! We don't have to leave Japan! I love Japan and Kenniji!" Yan Ting cried.

Wang Ping grasped his shirt tightly.

"My dear son! Don't you see?! No one will accept people like you! I don't want you to suffer!" she cried, embracing him.

Both mother and son wept bitterly. Just then, Xia Ming returned home and noticed their distress. Having been drinking, he smirked at their tears and forcefully took Yan Ting into his room, locking the door behind them.

Wang Ping banged on the door.

"Ming! What are you doing? He's your son! You can't treat him this way! He's only 15!" she shouted.

Inside the room, Xia Ming began to strip Yan Ting, making inappropriate comments about his body.

"Oh, my son lacks masculinity! Let me see your upper body. Oh, your nipples are like a girl's, and you have a little bit of chest," Xia Ming said with a twisted smile.

"Dad, please let me go! I don't want this!" Yan Ting cried out in desperation.

Xia Ming crossed a line, subjecting Yan Ting to abuse, which left him screaming and pleading for help. The ordeal lasted for hours, leaving Yan Ting bruised and bleeding.

When Xia Ming finally exited the room, Wang Ping rushed in to find her son in a terrible state. Overwhelmed with grief, she tragically took her own life by jumping from their apartment.

Yan Ting, hearing the impact, rushed outside in a bathrobe to find his mother lying motionless in a pool of blood. Pushing through the crowd, he clutched her lifeless body, tears streaming down his face.

The police arrived and took Yan Ting to the hospital, but they cuffed him and brought him to the station. In a panic, he begged for his mother not to leave him, promising to comply with her wishes.

"Please, let me attend my mother's funeral before going to the police station," he pleaded through his tears.

A policeman examined Yan Ting closely, noticing signs of trauma. "He should see a doctor. It looks like he's been sexually abused," the officer said softly.

Terrified, Yan Ting fell to the ground, denying the accusations. "No... nothing's wrong! No one forced me!" he insisted.

The situation escalated, leading to Yan Ting being sent to the hospital for evaluation. Xia Ming, hearing that his son was there, arrived with plans for exploitation.

In the hospital, Yan Ting begged to pay his last respects to his mother. The police, however, informed him that he needed to be sent back to China, as he had no relatives in Japan.

Just then, Xia Ming appeared, claiming to be Yan Ting's father, to which Yan Ting vehemently protested. Overwhelmed with emotion, he collapsed.

The nurse assured Yan Ting that they would ensure Xia Ming left, but the pain was too much for him, and he fainted.

Later that night, Xia Ming and his friends secretly took Yan Ting from the hospital, planning to return to China.
