Chapter 24

       When they left the hospital, Pei Qing realised that neither Zhan Weiyang nor Chen Youyou had eaten lunch yet, so he had to take them to the fast food restaurant opposite the hospital for lunch.

       It was past lunch time, there were not many people in the fast food restaurant, and the food was served very quickly.

       Zhan Weiyang and Chen Youyou each ordered a set meal. Pei Qing had already eaten lunch and did not order. So he just sat and watched them eat.

       Chen Youyou was busy being scared just now, but now that his mood stabilised, he felt hungry. When the food was served, he was the first to take a spoon and scoop two large spoonfuls of rice mixed with soup into his mouth. As he chewed with a bulging mouth, he raised his head and he glanced at Zhan Weiyang across him.

       He saw that Zhan Weiyang was still nonchalantly mixing the marinade of his braised pork rice with the rice. He didn’t rush to eat after mixing, but raised his head and looked at Pei Qing sitting next to him, “Qing ge, you are not going to eat?”

       Pei Qing’s seat was by the window, and the sunlight penetrated the floor-to-ceiling glass and shone lazily on him. He leaned on the back of the chair and said to Zhan Weiyang, “I’ve eaten, you can eat.”

       Zhan Weiyang scooped up a spoonful of rice with a small piece of braised pork on it and put it into his mouth. He chewed it and swallowed it leisurely, and then looked at Pei Qing.

       Pei Qing asked him, “Is it delicious?”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded and said, “You can try it.”

       Pei Qing said, “I don’t need to.”

       Zhan Weiyang persisted and said, “Just have a taste.” He scooped out a spoonful of rice and carefully added two pieces of meat on top.

       When Pei Qing saw Zhan Weiyang handing the spoon to his mouth, he suddenly couldn’t bear to refuse. He opened his mouth and let Zhan Weiyang feed the food into his mouth.

       Zhan Weiyang suddenly became happy and asked Pei Qing, “Is it delicious?”

       Actually, there wasn’t anything particularly tasty; it was just the flavor of the braised meat buns sold outside. However, Pei Qing still nodded in agreement.

       Zhan Weiyang handed the coke that came with the set meal to Pei Qing and said, “Here you drink it.” After that, he handed him the paper towel on his plate, as if he wanted to wipe Pei Qing’s mouth in person.

       Chen Youyou frowned as he looked at it. As soon as he frowned, the wound hurt. He quickly relaxed his brows, lowered his head and continued to eat, thinking that Zhan Weiyang was really weird.

       After dinner, Pei Qing drove Chen Youyou home first.

       Zhan Weiyang was sitting in the passenger seat, and Chen Youyou was sitting alone in the back seat. He couldn’t help but poke his head out from the middle of the front seat and look forward.

       Pei Qing stopped the car and waited for the red light when he suddenly asked, “How did Youyou get injured?”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t say anything, but Chen Youyou took the initiative and said, “I-I was hit by X-xie Ling’s bicycle.” Perhaps because Pei Qing was not of the same age, he didn’t object to exposing his stuttering problem in front of Pei Qing.

       Pei Qing said, “Why aren’t you going home after school? What could you be doing outside that would get you hit by a bike?”

       This time Chen Youyou didn’t speak but looked at Zhan Weiyang.

       Zhan Weiyang suddenly became nervous. He secretly raised his hand and hit Chen Youyou’s arm from behind.

       Pei Qing saw it all but said nothing. When the red light passed and the green light turned on, he started the car and continued moving forward.

       After a while, Pei Qing said, “Since Xie Ling hit Youyou while riding a bicycle, I think it would be better for us to notify Xie Ling’s parents so that if the injury changes in the future, we can find someone to take responsibility.”

       Zhan Weiyang blurted out, “No!”

       Pei Qing looked at him, “Why not?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Because it’s all my fault and it has nothing to do with Xie Ling.”

       Pei Qing’s tone was calm, “Are you very protective of Xie Ling, is he a good friend? Is it better than your relationship with Youyou?”

       When Chen Youyou heard their conversation, he became unhappy and said in a complaining tone, “He’s just reluctant to blame Xie Ling!”

       Pei Qing smiled and asked, “Why?”

       Zhan Weiyang turned around and wanted to stop Chen Youyou from continuing, but Chen Youyou just smiled and said, “Because Xie Ling is tall, and handsome, right?” After saying that, he raised his eyebrows at Zhan Weiyang, and then it hurt. He immediately lowered his face.

       Pei Qing listened quietly, and when the car passed the next intersection, he asked without warning, “How are Xie Ling’s grades?”

       Chen Youyou replied without thinking, “Very good!”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t know what Pei Qing meant by asking this question.

       Pei Qing just nodded, and then said, “Good-looking, tall, and has good grades.”

       Zhan Weiyang looked confused.

       Pei Qing drove Chen Youyou home. When Chen Youyou arrived, only his mother was at home. Pei Qing took Zhan Weiyang up to admit his mistake to Chen Youyou’s mother. Without mentioning Xie Ling, he said that when they were fighting he was not careful that he hit Chen Youyou.

       Mother Chen said it was nothing, and invited Zhan Weiyang and Pei Qing to eat fruit, and then scolded Chen Youyou.

       Chen Youyou felt that he was hurt and was being scolded without being comforted. He suddenly felt aggrieved and squatted in the corner without saying a word.

       Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang both looked towards Chen Youyou.

       Mother Chen said she didn’t need to worry about him, and praised Zhan Weiyang for his cleverness and Pei Qing for his good looks and steady personality.

       Before leaving, Zhan Weiyang walked to Chen Youyou and knelt down. He said again, “I’m sorry.”

       Chen Youyou waved his hand at him, indicating that he didn’t care.

       Zhan Weiyang leaned forward and gently pressed his forehead to Chen Youyou’s forehead.

       Chen Youyou quickly hid back, raised his hand to cover his forehead and said, “What are you doing?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I’ll share half of it away for you, so you won’t be in as much pain.” When he was sick as a child, Zhan Pengcheng would coax him like this.

       Chen Youyou said, “No, don’t. I’m afraid of becoming stupid like you.”

       “Chen Youyou!” Mother Chen shouted angrily, “Why are you so rude?”

       Zhan Weiyang was not angry. He just stood up slowly, looked at Chen Youyou melancholy for the last time, and said, “Then I’m leaving.”

       Chen Youyou said, “Just go quickly.”

       Mother Chen sent Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang to the door. She felt a little sorry for what Chen Youyou said just now, and said to Pei Qing, “They are used to playing together, and they don’t speak nicely to each other.”

       Pei Qing smiled and said, “If there were a sense of proportion, Youyou would not be injured.”

       Hearing this, Mother Chen looked at Pei Qing and said, “Are you Yangyang’s older cousin? How old are you?”

       Pei Qing replied, “Twenty-one.”

       Mother Chen nodded, “You look very young to me. Are you in college?”

       Pei Qing responded, “Yes, I am a senior.”

       Mother Chen asked curiously, “Which school is it?”

       Pei Qing mentioned the name of a famous local school.

       Chen’s mother quickly said, “You are so outstanding! Come here to play often when you have time. Youyou is a sophomore in high school this year and his grades are not bad.” She lowered her voice when she said this, fearing that Chen Youyou would hear it, “But he’s mischievous and lacks discipline. He doesn’t listen to me when I speak. If you have the time, could you share your experience of studying well in college with him? Help me persuade him to prepare well for the college entrance exam and strive to get into a school as good as yours.”

       Pei Qing smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll try my best.”

       After saying goodbye to Mother Chen, the two walked into the elevator. Zhan Weiyang suddenly said to Pei Qing, “You should also talk to me.”

       Pei Qing asked, “What to say?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “What Auntie just said about what to say to Chen Youyou.”

       Pei Qing thought for a while and said, “Then tell me about that tall, good-looking person with good grades?”

       Zhan Weiyang looked confused, “Who?”

       Pei Qing looked at him for a while, then looked away, “Forget it.”

       Zhan Weiyang thought for a long time, and when the elevator dinged and reached the first floor, he suddenly realised, “You?”

Chapter 29 – Night Party

       He was supposed to get up early to prepare breakfast, but Zhuo Yue didn’t move. At this moment, Fang Mingyan’s arm was resting on his waist, in a half-hug position. He just stayed motionless in the man’s arms, looking at him quietly.

       Although the two of them slept in the same bedroom on weekdays, their relationship remained confined to the bed and underneath it. Zhuo Yue was always afraid of waking him up when he got up every day, so he carefully moved with caution, quickly leaving the bedroom. Therefore, he had never seen Fang Mingyan asleep from such a close distance.

       When he was sleeping, he looked handsome and gentle—like an archangel in a painting, with his eyes lowered to listen to the holy voice. Zhuo Yue’s eyes fell on his thin lips. When he thought of what happened last night, his face instantly became hot. The overly intense love affair had left Zhuo Yue almost deflated, and all the scenes turned into fragments of blushing and heartbeat, but his body still faithfully remembered every feeling the man brought to him. The ultimate pleasure when the genitals were licked, the breath of each other when the lips intertwined, the wet friction of the lower bodies during continuous thrusting, the moment when the two of them ejaculate together, the man’s caress while holding him in the shower… As he thought of these, his heartbeat uncontrollably rose faster.

       If I could always be by his side…

       Suddenly, such a bold and crazy idea suddenly came to his mind.

       Zhuo Yue was stunned.

       “There are some things that can’t be done, some things that can’t be said, and once certain emotions start, they’re hard to contain.”

       He suddenly remembered this line said by Hua Zhan in ‘The Goddess Strategy’. He didn’t understand it at first, but now he understood it.

       Something sour in his heart gradually melted away and slowly filled his eyes. At this moment, Fang Mingyan, who was sleeping next to him, opened his eyes.

       Zhuo Yue was startled and quickly lowered his head, but someone pinched his chin and raised his eyes to face each other. He had no time to hide his hurried and sad expression, and the moist water in the corner of his eyes fell into the other person’s eyes at the same time.

       “Master, you’re awake.” He lowered his eyes and spoke calmly.

       “Your body hurts?” the man asked.

       “It doesn’t hurt. Just…my eyes are a little dry.”

       Fang Mingyan didn’t expose his excuse. He slightly folded his arms to bring him closer to him, and then kissed his eyes gently, “Sleep with me for a while longer.”

       After dinner, Lin Hui, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, appeared at Hanguan No. 15 and brought a set of clothes to Zhuo Yue. He took it in confusion, only to hear Fang Mingyan say calmly, “Go and put it on. Tonight is the Silver Star Awards Night, and you are a finalist for Best Supporting Actor in the movie.”

       Zhuo Yue’s heart skipped a beat, and there was some panic in his eyes, “Sir, I…those cameras…” Although he had improved greatly through repeated training, he still felt scared when he thought of those dark cameras pointing at him.

       “I will go with you.” The man looked at him calmly.

       Zhuo Yue, who had not been out for more than a month, looked at the scenery outside the car window and found that the scenery was both familiar and unfamiliar.

       Traffic lights, zebra crossings, intersections, and all the streets that he had walked on before had an inexplicable sense of freshness. Flower shops, fruit stalls, night markets, and corners he never noticed at ordinary times looked special now. Young men jogging, girls holding flowers, uncles selling snacks, and street trees that had lost all their leaves. The world seemed to have grown larger, become vivid and concrete, clear and interesting.

       “Chairman Fang, we’re here.” Lin Hui parked the car, and makeup artist, xiao Ya, hurried over to apply makeup on Zhuo Yue. She looked around and said with a smile, “Yue ge must have been extremely moisturized during this holiday. Your complexion is much better than before, even if I don’t put on any makeup, you will definitely look stunning.”

       Except for Lin Hui, no one else knew the whereabouts of Zhuo Yue during this time. This joke made Zhuo Yue blush and glance at the man next to him in embarrassment. The other party curled his lips slightly.

       When everything was ready, Fang Mingyan handed him a mobile phone, “Take it and call me if anything happens.”

       He took it. That was his cell phone. It was taken away on the day he entered Hanguan and was not returned to him until today.

       “Come on, let’s go to the waiting area.” The man walked slowly towards the garage door, and Zhuo Yue immediately stepped up to follow.

       The Silver Star Awards Ceremony was held annually, with all the awards generated by online voting from the public. Its influence grew year by year, so it became increasingly grand. Zhuo Yue followed behind Fang Mingyan with his head down, weaving through the bustling crowd and arriving at the exclusive rest area for Huasheng artists. Several of Huasheng’s top stars were present, and they all stood up to greet the boss when they saw him.

       Lu Chenyang was startled when he saw Zhuo Yue. He walked over and asked softly, “Where have you been recently?”

       “I’ve been resting for a while and relaxing for myself.” He answered vaguely.

       Lu Chenyang was about to ask again when he heard Fang Mingyan’s voice, “Chenyang, come here.”

       The two whispered a few words. After a while, Lu Chenyang returned to Zhuo Yue and asked with some worry, “I heard from the boss that you are not feeling well?”

       He was startled and looked over there. Fang Mingyan was talking to a female singer by the window. Handsome and wealthy men were always easy to be favoured by others. His black suit was fit and steady, with a bit of hidden aura. The silver cufflinks were a bit cold, and the silver-grey tie came from a low-key luxury brand. He was used to seeing him in casual clothes, but now he looked a little unfamiliar.

       Zhuo Yue pursed his lips, looked away, smiled at the person next to him and said, “Well, I have a bit of a stomachache.”

       “I called you many times before, but you didn’t return any of my calls.”

       “I went away to recuperate. I kept turning off my phone for fear of being disturbed. I’m sorry…” He had already thought of an excuse on how to deal with it.

       “Zhuo Yue…” The other party called his name softly, with a look of helplessness on his face. However, in the end, he just smiled, “Let’s go. The boss asked me to accompany you to the entrance.”

       Fang Mingyan’s red carpet partner in the special guest group was arranged by the organisers. This time, his female companion was the promising female director Jiang Yuanyuan. He was widely recognized as a gentleman in the industry, handling every detail with finesse and grace, from opening car doors to offering his arm for support, from controlling their pace to steering the conversation towards the director’s latest work when faced with questions from reporters. After entering the venue gate, Fang Mingyan stopped in his tracks and said, “I’m terribly sorry, but I have something to attend to. I won’t be able to enter the venue for the time being.”

       Jiang Yuanyuan was a little surprised and laughed, “Is Boss Fang going to dump me halfway?”

       “I’m sorry.” The man apologised again sincerely.

       “It’s okay. I can go in by myself. See you later.” After saying that, she walked in. She had been walking unsteadily just now, but now her 11cm high heels were stepping on the ground like a tiger.

       Fang Mingyan looked at his watch and saw that it was almost Zhuo Yue’s entry order. He found a relatively remote work area and looked towards the entrance.

       As soon as they got out of the car, Lu Chenyang and Zhuo Yue aroused loud cheers from the fans outside the stadium. The ‘Linhua’ pair, who had created countless topics in the past, appeared on stage together. Naturally, the reporters would not let it go, and all the long and short cameras in their hands were aimed at them.

       That pitch-black scene made Zhuo Yue feel stiff all over. The feeling of fear came out of the depths of his bones, like a ghost claw that silently strangled his throat. A layer of sweat broke out on his back, and every cell in his body screamed, making him almost want to run away.

       However…the hand in his trouser pocket tightly squeezed the mobile phone, and he tried his best to control himself and move forward.

       There was a text message sent just before he got off the car, from his master.

       “I’ll wait for you inside.”

       Every step was torturous, but he felt like he had support in his heart. It was as if he had put on thick armour, and he could look up and face the difficulties in front of him. He knew that there was someone waiting for him, and as long as he walked through this tho-ny road, he would be able to go to that person.

       Yes, I can do it.

       Zhuo Yue adjusted his breathing, tried to keep his steps steady, and smiled at the overwhelming cameras to make himself look more natural. He left a scrawled signature on the signature wall, quickly walked into the splendid door, turned to the corner where there was no camera, and could no longer hold on.  He held the wall almost as if he had lost his strength, covered his chest in discomfort, and the sweat on his back had almost dampened his shirt.

       “Zhuo Yue?” Lu Chenyang beside him was surprised and quickly supported him. Feeling that he was shaking, he asked worriedly, “What’s going on? What’s wrong with you…? I’ll call the doctor…”

       “No need.” A deep male voice sounded from behind. Fang Mingyan unobtrusively pulled Zhuo Yue into his arms, and said calmly, “Just leave the rest to me. You go in and sit down first.”

       “Chairman Fang, what happened to Zhuo Yue?” Lu Chenyang frowned and asked, “Also, where did he go during the time he was out of contact?”

       The man didn’t answer, but gave him a cold look with oppressive gaze, put his arm around Zhuo Yue’s waist, and led him away quickly. Lu Chenyang was left standing frozen in place.

       Zhuo Yue followed him upstairs in a daze and entered a place that looked like an office. Fang Mingyan helped him sit down on the chair, unbuttoned his collar, then stroked his face and said, “Look at me. I’m by your side, don’t be afraid.”

       After a while, he calmed down, looked around and asked, “Where is this?”

       “I borrowed the office from an acquaintance at the TV station.”

       Zhuo Yue held the water glass in his hand and sighed worriedly.

       “What’s wrong?” Fang Mingyan asked.

       “There are also many cameras in the studio. I’m worried that after a while… I won’t be able to hold on.” He sat with his head bowed, feeling uneasy.

       The man slowly raised Zhuo Yue’s chin, his eyes as gentle as a spring breeze. “I can give you a charm to help you hold on longer.”

       Before Zhuo Yue could react from his confusion, a warm kiss had already covered his lips.

       It was like a sudden dream, like a tree with blooming flowers. It was so beautiful that it made people intoxicated.

       As he came down from upstairs, he turned around and took a look. The man stood as tall as a pine tree, looked at him with encouraging eyes, and said something silently.

       Zhuo Yue recognised that sentence from the shape of his mouth.

       ─Go ahead, I’m behind you.

       He took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and walked into the brightly lit studio hall. On the roof, in the corners, under the stage, in the aisles, in the back rows, cameras were everywhere. He was like a lone herbivore, walking alone through a dangerous dark forest, with no way out and nowhere to hide. However, he could feel the gaze from behind, like a holy light, protecting him and giving him the courage and strength to overcome obstacles.

       “Zhuo Yue, here!” Lu Chenyang waved to him, and their seats were arranged together. When he sat down, the other party asked eagerly, “Did you feel better?”

       “Yes.” He smiled reluctantly, trying his best to lower his gaze and not look at those black machines.

       “What’s going on? What’s wrong with your body?” he asked. When Lu Chenyang saw that he didn’t answer, there was a faint sense of disappointment in his eyes, “Forget it, if you don’t want to say it, don’t say it. I don’t mean to pry into your privacy, and I’ll never tell anyone. I swear, I really just care about you.”

       “I understand.” Zhuo Yue said softly, “You have always taken good care of me.”

       Lu Chenyang was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice, “Is it because of him that you are like this?”

       Zhuo Yue was startled, then realised who he was talking about, and immediately shook his head in denial, “No.”

       “I never believed it.” The man frowned slightly, “From the first time I saw you, I didn’t believe you were the person who was rumoured to have that kind of relationship with him, and I still don’t believe it even now.” He paused. There was a kind of helplessness and worry in his expression that Zhuo Yue had never seen before, “Zhuo Yue, if he ever forces you to do something you don’t want to do, and you can’t get away from him, I can help you. Whether it’s finding a new employer or changing careers, I’ll do my best to help you explore your options. Don’t let yourself end up like this. If your body collapses, everything will be ruined.”

       Zhuo Yue knew that Lu Chenyang had misinterpreted the whole thing and said, “Although I can’t explain the situation to you clearly, it’s not what you imagined. He didn’t force me to do anything; he was just helping me.”

       “In this case, I’m not at liberty to say anything else.” Lu Chenyang’s smile concealed a small amount of regret and sorrow, “But Zhuo Yue, you should understand that approaching him is very dangerous. He can make you or break you.”

       The person beside him did not answer, just sat in silence, gripping the armrests of the seat so tightly that the veins on his hands could be seen.

       Zhuo Yue didn’t know how he survived that party. He only remembered that when he could no longer hold on, he dialled the number stored as an ‘emergency contact’ on his phone with trembling fingers. The man on the other end of the phone lowered his voice. He said to him, “I understand your pain, but I’m asking you to endure this pain. Do it for me.”

       The last words made Zhuo Yue’s eyes wet. He bit his lip and raised his head again. The award presenter on the stage was announcing the shortlist for Best Supporting Actor in Movie. When all the cameras turned to him, what was captured was the moment when his misty eyes looked forward.

       On the big screen, those dark and bright eyes were filled with too many incomprehensible but touching emotions. Then he slowly opened a smile towards the camera, as gentle as the sunshine at the beginning of a rain shower, and as beautiful as the flowers swaying in the wind.

       Just a moment was enough to make people stunned.

       That night, Zhuo Yue’s tearful smile became the focus of many media attention. That shot was also adopted by many media outlets and quickly spread across the internet. It started a conversation with topics such as ‘Dude is so handsome’, ‘It breaks my heart to see it’, ‘I want to give you a hug’, and ‘You are the best actor in our hearts’. Reporters speculated a lot about why he showed such an expression. Unfortunately, they were not able to interview the person involved because Zhuo Yue left the scene in a hurry after the award for Best Supporting Actor was presented.

       In the back seat of the speeding black car, he was lying on Fang Mingyan’s lap as quietly as a child.

       “If you’re tired, take a nap first.” The man touched his head. Zhuo Yue responded softly and then closed his eyes tiredly.

       “If you’re tired, take a nap first.” The man touched his head. Zhuo Yue responded softly, and then closed his eyes tiredly.

       If there was one person in the world who could make him learn to be brave and strong, then only this person could make him let go of all the pretences of strength. At this moment, Zhuo Yue showed Fang Mingyan all his vulnerability, and in that moment captured by the camera, all he could think about was to give his best performance for this person.

       This feeling did not come from coercion and orders, nor from training between master and slave, but from love.

       He fell in love with this man.

       Even though he thought of all the reasons and excuses to deny it, that was the truth.

Chapter 57 – (Side Story) Amusement Park Owner

       “Do you want some drink?” the tall and handsome man asked Feng Junyuan.

       Feng Junyuan was silent for a moment and asked, “What kind of drink?”

       The man smiled and said, “You can drink whatever you like.”

       Feng Junyuan was currently sitting in the home of the man he met on the street. The man’s name was Luo Fei; he had a large house with luxurious decorations. His human identity was that of a very successful businessman, and the identity of his demon form was temporarily unknown.

       Feng Junyuan followed him to his home just because he was a demon, and he was trying to find the monster to learn about Long Xing’s whereabouts.

       Luo Fei opened his wine cabinet, took out a bottle of Petrus1It’s around $257/bottle, opened the bottle and poured Feng Junyuan a glass.

       Feng Junyuan took a whiff of the flavour and then gave it a light lick.

       Luo Fei leaned on the back of the sofa and asked with a smile, “How does it taste?”

       Feng Junyuan actually couldn’t tell how it tasted. He could only reply calmly, “It’s not bad.”

       From Luo Fei’s angle, he could just see a section of Feng Junyuan’s fair neck exposed behind his collar. Gilded Phoenix Wing? Luo Fei thought to himself, what an exquisite thing. It looked much more delicious than Petrus.

       Feng Junyuan took another sip of the wine and found it not very tasty, so he put the wine glass on the table, raised his head and asked Luo Fei, “Have you ever seen a big white-haired demon?”

       Luo Fei asked, “Is it the one who kidnapped Dragon Tip Whip?”

       Feng Junyuan’s eyes widened, “Have you seen it?”

       Luo Fei shook his head, “It has spread throughout the city. I just heard about it.”

       Feng Junyuan was immediately disappointed. He said, “Oh”, stood up and said, “Then I’m leaving.”

       Luo Fei grabbed his wrist and said, “Where are you going to find their whereabouts? I will go with you.”

       Feng Junyuan was obviously hesitant.

       Luo Fei smiled and said, “Don’t be so anxious. The Dragon Tip Whip is a divine weapon. Even if the demon is very powerful, it can’t hurt him. Finding their whereabouts is just a matter of time. You don’t have to be so anxious. How about I treat you to a meal first?”

       Feng Junyuan looked at Luo Fei.

       Luo Fei looked very magnanimous.

       Feng Junyuan finally nodded.

       Xia Hongshen and Song Jun set out for Dongjiao Forest Park to look for traces of Long Xing. Before setting off, Xia Hongshen took Xi Anling with him, turning it into a bell and putting it in his pocket.

       Qin Song finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurried back to school for his next class.

       Because it was still broad daylight, Xia Hongshen did not dare to show off his form easily in the downtown area, so he finally chose the simplest way—taking a taxi.

       Song Jun was a little worried about money.

       In the taxi, he asked Xia Hongshen, “Senior Brother, how will we live in the future if we are so poor?”

       Xia Hongshen said, “There’s Long Xing and the others.”

       Song Jun counted on his fingers and said, “Long Xing is a policeman, so he probably would never make a fortune in his life. Fengliu is good; being a doctor in the future, his salary will likely be high. As for Yueya, don’t expect too much. It’s good enough if she can support herself. Who are you counting on to support you?”

       Xia Hongshen said, “No, I mean, we can sell them for money.”

       Song Jun: “…”

       Xia Hongshen thought for a while, “Since Fengliu can make money, it’s better not to sell it for the time being and start selling Yueya.”

       The little crescent moon bell bounced in Xia Hongshen’s pocket; she heard it all.

       Despite his words, Song Jun could still see Xia Hongshen’s urgency to find Long Xing’s trail. He reached out and rubbed Xia Hongshen’s hair, “Don’t worry too much. Long Xing will be fine.”

       Xia Hongshen held his hand and said, “I’m not worried. He’s the dragon’s tip.”

       Although the Dragon Tip was a whip and he was the softest, he was also the most resilient existence.

       Dongjiao Forest Park used to be a large wasteland, but now it has been developed into a large forest park. There were many restaurants, cafes, and open-air self-service barbecue restaurants. It was generally the first choice for family outings on weekends.

       Today was not the weekend, but there were many people travelling.

       But most of those people gathered in the dining and entertainment area. Beyond the dining area, there was a large area of ​​dense forest, and ordinary tourists would not go deep.

       Song Jun followed Xia Hongshen and walked inside. This forest was an old forest. The trees were all very tall and covered the sky. As they walked deeper, the light became very dark.

       Xia Hongshen took a deep breath and noticed the smell of strange beasts hidden in the air.

       He stood still, and suddenly, there was a clear whistle. The sound went straight into the sky, echoing over the entire city. It was the sound of him summoning his weapons. If Long Xing and Feng Junyuan could hear it, they would be like Chunjun at that time and return to Xia Hongshen immediately.

       It was a pity that Long Xing couldn’t hear it now.

       However, Feng Junyuan, who was already half drunk, heard Xia Hongshen’s call.

       This was Feng Junyuan’s first time getting drunk. Today’s meal was delicious, and the red wine surprisingly started to taste good even after drinking too much of it. The restaurant’s private room had been playing soothing music, and he felt the atmosphere was good.

       When he put down the wine glass, Feng Junyuan’s cheeks were slightly red, which made his skin fairer. He looked at Luo Fei without blinking.

       Luo Fei said, “You’ve had too much to drink?”

       Feng Junyuan suddenly stood up, walked to Luo Fei, and pushed him.

       Luo Fei was pushed back against the back of the seat. When he saw Feng Junyuan’s face approaching, he actually wanted to kiss him on the mouth.

       However, just when their lips were about to meet, Feng Junyuan and Luo Fei both heard Xia Hongshen’s clear whistle.

       “Demon Zhen?” Luo Fei said.

       Feng Junyuan suddenly stood up straight, and with a slight ‘ah’ sound, his body turned into a golden light and flew out of the window, heading straight towards the eastern suburbs.

       There were all kinds of meteors, satellite debris, and UFO legends that day.

       Golden light turned into Gilded Phoenix Wings and appeared in Xia Hongshen’s hand. Xia Hongshen waved him lightly and placed him to the side.

       Feng Junyuan appeared in human form again, covering his head in discomfort, feeling dizzy due to being drunk and flying too fast.

       Song Jun quickly came over to support him, smelled the smell of alcohol on his body, and asked, “Have you been drinking?”

       Feng Junyuan looked at Song Jun blankly and called his name, “Song Jun?”

       Song Jun responded strangely.

       Feng Junyuan suddenly came up and kissed Song Jun on the mouth.

       Song Jun’s entire demeanour immediately changed for the worse.

       Xia Hongshen was so angry that he grabbed Feng Junyuan and turned him into a small gold hairpin. He threw him into his pocket and scolded, “Don’t make trouble!”

       Feng Junyuan was thrown into the small pocket with Xi Anling. After a while, he heard a scream from Xi Anling and then a roar, “You dare to kiss me!”

       Xia Hongshen no longer cared about the two of them and walked deep into the woods with Song Jun. The closer Xia Hongshen got, the stronger the animal scent he smelled.

       Until the two of them found a nest piled with dead grass next to a big tree.

       There were a few long snow-white hairs scattered inside the nest, but the white-haired demon was not seen, and naturally, neither was Long Xing.

       Song Jun stretched out his hand and touched it. He could no longer feel the warmth. The person here must have been gone for quite some time.

       Xia Hongshen’s expression was very serious, even somewhat icy. He stepped onto the pile of grass, destroying it in a mess, then said to Song Jun, “Gather everyone tonight at the amusement park. I must root out that trash!”

       Song Jun nodded.

       That evening, the amusement park gathered all the demons of the entire city once again. However, this time, there was no joyful atmosphere of the Demon Market; instead, everyone’s faces were grave because their leader had taken action, and the consequences could be quite serious.

       There was still half an hour before the call time, and Song Jun stood next to the gate of the amusement park.

       There was no ticket check today. Feng Junyuan was still drunk and was thrown to the merry-go-round by Xia Hongshen, who said he had to vomit before he got off.

       Song Jun felt a little uneasy, mainly because the other party was too powerful and had been able to stay hidden in the dark for a long time. They didn’t know its details or its purpose.

       “Hi,” suddenly someone stood next to Song Jun and greeted him, “Little Chunjun.”

       Song Jun turned around and found that it was the giant panda.

       The giant panda was no longer selling masks today, but it still maintained its animal form and seemed unwilling to turn into a human form.

       Song Jun said to him, “Hello, Panda.”

       The giant panda said, “I was saddened to hear that little Long Xing is missing.”

       Song Jun nodded, “We are sad too.”

       The giant panda stretched out his hand to scratch his butt and asked Song Jun, “Is there anything I can do to help?”

       Song Jun said, “Senior Brother wants to summon all the demons to help him find the whereabouts of the white-haired demon and Long Xing.”

       The giant panda was a little regretful, “I’m locked up in the zoo every day, so I can’t help you much.”

       Song Jun smiled, “It’s okay.”

       The giant panda said, “But my senior brother may be able to help you.”

       “Your senior brother?” Song Jun was a little surprised, “Is he also a panda?”

       The giant panda shook his head, “My senior brother is the owner of the amusement park. The original owner of the Demon Market rented the amusement park area from him to hold the Demon Market.”

       This was the first time Song Jun heard of this person. He was curious, “Who is he? Why have I never seen him before?”

       The giant panda shook his paw and said, “He was very low-key and had no other interest except making money.”

       Song Jun thought for a while and said, “Can you take me to see him?”

       The giant panda said, “Of course, you can come with me.”

       After saying that, the giant panda turned and walked towards the amusement park, and Song Jun quickly followed.

       As he walked, the giant panda explained, “My senior brother has nothing to do with the Demon Market. He was just a human businessman. Don’t misunderstand him.”

       Song Jun couldn’t help but ask, “Why does he never show up and contact us?”

       The giant panda said, “Because the owner of the Demon Market gave a lot of money to rent the venue back then, which was considered a buyout price. Although the owner has changed, the Demon Market can still continue to operate here. Senior brother said that business must be done with integrity; only then will there be the next business deals.”

       With that said, the giant panda took Song Jun to the front of a small fast-food restaurant in the amusement park. The man sitting in the store leisurely drinking a drink was Luo Fei.

       Seemingly knowing Song Jun’s purpose, Luo Fei smiled and greeted him, “Hello, the famous Chunjun sword.”


Notes:
WHAT?! Luo Fei is just human?????

Chapter 56 – (Side Story) The Stolen Whip

       Song Jun slept until midnight and was woken up by a phone call. Xia Hongshen was still pressing on top of him and refused to move away. He raised his head and saw that the screen of Xia Hongshen’s mobile phone was glowing, and the caller ID was Yun Po.

       He took the phone over, connected it, and asked curiously, “Master Yun Po?”

       Yun Po yelled on the other end of the phone, “Long Xing was kidnapped!”

       Song Jun was stunned when he heard this. Before he could ask for more details, Xia Hongshen suddenly reached out and took the phone from his hand, “Hello?”

       Yun Po was a bit furious, “Holy shit! What the hell! It knocked over my car!”

       Song Jun could hear Yun Po’s roar from a distance. He couldn’t help but want to wipe the sweat from his forehead and persuade him to calm down and stop swearing as a monk.

       Xia Hongshen’s focus still remained on Long Xing, “Kidnapped?”

       Yun Po was still cursing, and Wan Mingguang couldn’t listen anymore. He took away his mobile phone and said to Xia Hongshen, “It was a giant white dog that knocked over our car and ran away with the Dragon Tip Whip in its mouth.”

       Xia Hongshen frowned slightly when he heard this.

       Song Jun grabbed the phone again and asked, “Is it a big dog that looks like a husky?”

       Wan Mingguang hesitated for a moment and asked, “What is a husky?”

       Song Jun remembered that his soul had been imprisoned in the mountains for many years, and he didn’t recognise any huskies at all. He was speechless and said, “Sorry, it’s nothing.”

       Xia Hongshen said at this time, “Let Yun Po come back first.”

       Song Jun conveyed what he meant, and then both parties hung up the phone as they had no more clues.

       He sat on the bed and thought for a while. Song Jun worried, “Is it really that white dog demon? What on earth is he going to do to Long Xing?”

       Xia Hongshen shook his head and then said to Song Jun, “Take a few days off and don’t go to work.”

       At dawn the next day, the news that Demon Zhen’s Dragon Tip Whip had been robbed spread throughout the city’s demon world. The rumors suggested that Long Xing was first ‘bitten’ and then ‘snatched away’ by a large monster resembling a white wolf. Anyway, now Demon Zhen was very angry, and the consequences were severe. Anyone who saw Long Xing or the big white demon was immediately supposed to report to Demon Zhen.

       Moreover, because the identity of that monster was unclear, even Ling Xiao came under suspicion. Ling Xiao was a wolf, and with the true identity of the mysterious monster still unknown, it seemed that no member of the Canidae family could escape scrutiny.

       “What a crap!” Ling Xiao, who knew the news, expressed his anger. It had nothing to do with him at all, let alone his relatives.

       Song Jun, who was sitting opposite him, waved his hand to signal him to calm down.

       Xia Hongshen sat next to Song Jun and asked, “Who do you think could do it?”

       Ling Xiao said, “How would I know?”

       Xia Hongshen raised his hand and drew the shape of the monster with his fingers in the air. White mist floated in the air, just like a ferocious husky.

       Xiang Wenxi was lying on the back of the sofa chair where Ling Xiao was sitting, looking at Xia Hongshen’s drawings carefully, and suddenly said, “Eh”.

       “Have you seen it?” Song Jun asked hurriedly.

       Xiang Wenxi held his chin, frowned and said, “I have seemed to see the portrait somewhere, but I can’t remember where I saw it nor what it is.”

       Ling Xiao heard this and said, “Anyway, it’s not a monster that originally existed in this city. It should have intruded from outside.”

       On the way back, Xia Hongshen turned into a little black cat and was held in Song Jun’s arms.

       Song Jun always thought that he was just too lazy to walk, but Song Jun didn’t care about this. He just held the little black cat and walked while saying, “He definitely won’t kill Long Xing. He probably just wants to absorb spiritual power from Long Xing. It looks like he was injured.”

       The little black cat’s ears moved.

       Song Jun felt that it looked cute and reached out to pinch his ears.

       Xia Hongshen immediately turned his head and saved his soft ears from Song Jun.

       Song Jun simply lifted him up and bit his ear.

       The little black cat’s ears twitched and stopped moving.

       In the past two days, Feng Junyuan and Xi Anling had no choice but to ask for leave from campus and the hospital to go out and inquire about Long Xing’s whereabouts.

       Xi Anling came to a middle school near the campus. The school was in class when she came. It was very quiet, and there was not a single student in sight.

       She entered the teaching building of the junior high school, climbed the stairs to the fourth floor, and looked in by the window of the first classroom on the right. There was a young male teacher inside who was giving a physics class.

       Xi Anling stayed quietly by the window and looked in. After a while, many students noticed her and turned to look.

       The male teacher obviously noticed it too. He looked out the window and saw Xi Anling smiling and waving to him.

       The handsome male teacher’s face instantly turned pale with fright, and then his words became stammering, and his mind went blank.

       As soon as the bell rang, the male teacher picked up the books on the desk and wanted to run away, but Xi Anling blocked him at the door of the classroom, grabbed his clothes by the back of his neck, and said, “Why are you running?”

       Then Xi Anling dragged him downstairs. He wanted to struggle but did not dare to struggle. His face turned pale with fright, attracting countless students to watch along the way.

       Walking to the shade of a remote tree near the teaching building, the male teacher could no longer bear the fright. He turned into a squirrel and slipped out of Xi Anling’s hand. He climbed up a big tree nearby and hid on the trees.

       Xi Anling immediately jumped up and down, “Get down!”

       The squirrel stretched out its head and shook it.

       Xi Anling said, “I won’t hit you. I have something to ask you!”

       The squirrel hesitated for a while and asked, “What do you want to ask?”

       Xi Anling raised his head and said, “Have you ever seen a big white dog demon?”

       The squirrel paused for a moment, put a paw to his mouth, looked at the sky and began to reminisce.

       “Qin Song!” Xi Anling called his name.

       The squirrel came back to his senses and said to Xi Anling, “I seem to remember something.”

       Xi Anling was immediately overjoyed, “Really? Where have you seen it?”

       The squirrel was trying to remember.

       Xi Anling suddenly raised her leg to kick the tree trunk and said, “Come down first and follow me to see Master!”

       The squirrel was so frightened that his fur stood up, and he shook his head vigorously.

       Xi Anling said, “Come down quickly! If not, I will ask Master to catch you! Then you will be miserable!”

       As if the thought of being captured by Xia Hongshen was even more terrifying, the squirrel looked at Xi Anling and began to hesitate.

       Xi Anling opened her arms and said, “Come here, I’ll buy you pine nuts to eat.”

       The little squirrel couldn’t resist the temptation and jumped down from the tree. Xi Anling grabbed his big fluffy tail and carried him out upside down.

       At this time, Feng Junyuan was squatting next to the bus stop with a confused look on his face. He had been hesitating all morning, not knowing where he should go.

       Xia Hongshen asked them to find the demon in the city for information, but he was not familiar with any demon. No, the only demon he was familiar with was Xia Hongshen.

       He didn’t know where to go. He watched the buses coming one after another, and He didn’t know which bus to get on.

       Suddenly, a Porsche stopped in front of the bus stop. The door opened, and a handsome man in a suit looked at him, “Fengliu?”

       Feng Junyuan looked up at him and noticed a trace of demonic energy.

       The man smiled and said, “Are you Xia Hongshen’s Fengliu?”

       Feng Junyuan said, “Have I seen you?”

       The man said, “We met last month.”

       When the Demon Market opened last month, Feng Junyuan was almost certain of this man’s identity, but he seemed to have a lot of cultivation. At least Feng Junyuan couldn’t see his real form.

       The man said to him, “Where to go? I can give you a ride.”

       Feng Junyuan didn’t know where he was going, but since this man was a demon, he finally found someone who could ask for information. So he stood up and got into the man’s car and said, “Let’s go to your place.”

       The man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “Okay.”

       Song Jun and Xia Hongshen stopped by the supermarket on their way back because Xia Hongshen was worried that he had run out of cat food and had to buy it at this time.

       Song Jun felt helpless and said, “You actually don’t care about Long Xing’s safety at all, do you?”

       “Of course that was not the case.” Xia Hongshen has transformed into a human form in order to be able to enter the supermarket. “Only when you are full can you have the strength to find someone.”

       The two of them entered the supermarket and went straight to the pet counter. Song Jun was carrying the basket, and Xia Hongshen concentrated on choosing his food.

       After shopping, they went out to check out. The two of them met Xi Anling while waiting in line.

       Xi Anling came to buy pine nuts. When she saw Xia Hongshen and Song Jun, she almost forgot her own pine nuts and rushed over to boast, “I’ve got a lead on the white-furred monster.”

       Xia Hongshen silently put the cat food into Xi Anling’s basket and asked to check out with her.

       Song Jun quickly asked, “What clue?”

       Xi Anling thought of the poor little squirrel and said, “Wait a moment.”

       After paying the bill and coming out, Xi Anling took them to the self-service locker, opened the door, reached out, grabbed the squirrel’s tail inside, and pulled it out.

       People passing by showed frightened eyes.

       Song Jun almost fainted when he saw the squirrel. He couldn’t stand it anymore, so he reached out to rescue the squirrel from Xi Anling and said, “Is this Qin Song?”

       Xi Anling nodded.

       Song Jun saw that many people noticed them, so he simply stuffed the squirrel into his backpack and said, “Let’s talk about it when we get back.”

       Back at the school dormitory, Song Jun put the squirrel on the desk and fed him some water from a water bottle before he regained his breath.

       The squirrel woke up and saw a pine nut in front of him. He stretched out his paws to pick it up. After picking up one, he found that there was another pine nut in front of him, so he chased after it and continued to pick it up.

       After picking up four or five pine nuts in a row, he discovered that Xi Anling had neatly placed the pine nuts on the table one by one, teasing him to pick them up.

       The squirrel suddenly blushed and refused to move.

       Xia Hongshen reached out and knocked on the table.

       The squirrel raised his head and saw that it was him. He was so frightened that he stood up straight.

       “Qin Song,” Xia Hongshen said in a serious tone, “have you seen the monster that kidnapped Long Xing?”

       Squirrel nodded, and he glanced at Xi Anling secretly. In order to speak more conveniently, he turned into a human and sat on the stool in front of the desk. He said, “I received a call from a student in the middle of the night last night. I went to the internet cafe to find a dormitory student. He came out of the internet cafe. It was already very late when I saw a huge white figure running towards the east suburb of Forest Park. I thought I was dizzy at the time, but I seemed to vaguely feel the aura of the Dragon Tip Whip… “

       Xi Anling said, “Why don’t you take the initiative to explain to us?”

       Qin Song’s tone became weak. He lowered his head and said, “I have class in the morning…”

       Song Jun saw that Xia Hongshen seemed to be thinking about something.

       Qin Song asked in a low voice, “Master Demon Zhen, can’t you trace the spiritual power of the Dragon Tip Whip?”

       Xia Hongshen said, “He covered it up. I don’t know what methods he used and what his abilities are.”


The author has something to say:
Next will be the light and easy stories of the demons. Maintaining silence temporarily, it’s not convenient to update the side story now. I’ll consider it after some time…

Chapter 23

       Pei Qing had finished his lunch at noon and was already on the second floor when he received a call from Zhan Weiyang.

       Zhan Weiyang’s tone was very cautious, and he asked him if he could come to the hospital.

       Pei Qing asked subconsciously, “Are you sick?”

       Zhan Weiyang said quickly, “It’s not me, it’s Chen Youyou. I’m just worried.”

       Pei Qing asked him the hospital’s address and said, “Wait for me. I’ll be right over.”

       After hanging up the phone, Pei Qing came down from the second floor and met Auntie Luo who had just washed the dishes. Auntie Luo saw him in a hurry and asked, “Where are you going?”

       Pei Qing knew that if he said he was going to the hospital, the elders would be worried, so he just said, “Go out.”

       Grandma was sitting on the sofa with a blanket on her knees. She habitually took a nap while leaning on the back of the chair while watching TV. She turned her head and said, “Be careful on the road.”

       Pei Qing said, “I know, grandma.” He walked towards the door. When changing shoes in the entrance, he opened the drawer above the shoe cabinet, took out the car keys that Zhan Pengcheng had put there when he left and stuffed them into his coat.

       The family’s SUV was parked in the garage. No one had driven it since Zhan Pengcheng left. Today, Pei Qing drove the car out for the first time.

       In the emergency department of the hospital, everyone looked anxious and walked in a hurry.

       Xie Ling registered for Chen Youyou and waited outside the treatment room for a while before the doctor had time to look at Chen Youyou’s wound and said he needed stitches.

       Chen Youyou’s already pale face turned even paler, and he said, “Will, my appearance be disfigured?”

       The wound was on the right side of his forehead, extending from the hairline to the corner of his eye. It was only about two centimetres long, but it looked quite deep. There was a lot of blood. Even if he wiped it with a tissue, half of his cheek was stained red.

       The doctor didn’t answer him and just said, “Boy, what are you afraid of?” Then he took Chen Youyou in to have his wound cleaned and stitched up.

       Zhan Weiyang and Xie Ling were left waiting in the corridor outside.

       Zhan Weiyang was really worried, with a pair of round glasses and a listless look, and he didn’t care to talk to Xie Ling.

       Xie Ling just looked at the closed door of the treatment room expressionlessly.

       Pei Qing arrived at this time. He found the emergency department of the hospital and saw Zhan Weiyang sitting outside the treatment room from a distance, so he walked toward him.

       Zhan Weiyang blinked and suddenly seemed to feel something. He turned his head to take a look and immediately stood up.

       Xie Ling noticed his movements and looked towards him.

       Zhan Weiyang walked quickly toward Pei Qing. He actually wanted to reach out and hug Pei Qing, but he stopped again when he reached Pei Qing. He was too embarrassed to reach out and just looked up at him and shouted, “Qing ge.”

       Pei Qing also stopped and asked him, “How is Chen Youyou?”

       Zhan Weiyang raised his finger to his forehead, “Here,” and then compared the length of about two centimetres with his thumb and index finger, “It’s such a long gash.” His tone was full of anxiety.

       Pei Qing nodded, raised his hand and touched Zhan Weiyang’s back, leading him toward the treatment room, “Are there any other injuries?”

       Zhan Weiyang shook his head, “No more.”

       Pei Qing asked, “No concussion or anything, right?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “No.”

       Pei Qing said calmly, “Then it’s nothing. Don’t worry.”

       The two of them sat down on chairs outside the treatment room. Zhan Weiyang tilted his head to look at Pei Qing and asked, “Really?”

       Pei Qing looked at him and nodded slightly after a while, “Really.”

       Zhan Weiyang seemed relieved and said, “That’s good.”

       Pei Qing smiled and asked him, “Are you scared?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “It’s all my fault. Chen Youyou got hurt all because of me.” His head drooped unconsciously, “And I haven’t told his parents yet.”

       Pei Qing raised his hand, patted Zhan Weiyang’s shoulder, and then looked at Xie Ling sitting next to Zhan Weiyang. Pei Qing had always had a good memory. He remembered that he had met this young man once, so he said to Zhan Weiyang, “Is this your classmate?”

       Xie Ling had been looking at them since Pei Qing arrived and only turned away when they sat down next to him.

       Zhan Weiyang suddenly felt nervous. He stood up, faced Pei Qing and said, “He is Xie Ling, from our school.” Then he said to Xie Ling, “This is my older cousin.”

       Pei Qing let out a soft ‘Ah’, and said, “Is he Xie Ling?”

       Xie Ling nodded to Pei Qing and turned away, still looking at the door of the treatment room.

       Pei Qing asked Zhan Weiyang who was standing in front of him, “So what is going on?”

       Zhan Weiyang was stunned. He glanced at Xie Ling secretly and whispered, “It’s nothing.”

       Xie Ling suddenly said, “I accidentally hit him while riding my bike.”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at Xie Ling again. He pinched his fingers uncomfortably and said, “No, it’s all my fault.”

       Pei Qing thought that maybe there was an accident when a few high school students were playing around. He could only say, “Go and apologize to Chen Youyou and his parents. Just learn from it and be careful in the future so that no more accidents happen.”

       At this time, the door to the treatment room opened, and Chen Youyou walked out of it with gauze on his forehead and a dazed look on his face.

       When he saw Pei Qing, he was stunned for a moment, and then shouted, “Older cousin.”

       Pei Qing stood up, stretched out a hand toward him, and said, “Come here and let me take a look.”

       Chen Youyou walked over obediently and stood in front of Pei Qing.

       There was gauze on his forehead, so Pei Qing looked around the gauze and inside the hair to make sure there were no other wounds, and then asked, “Is there anything else that feels uncomfortable?”

       Chen Youyou had been struggling all the way from the injury to the present. When he heard Pei Qing’s gentle question, he suddenly felt aggrieved. He shook his head and said, “N-nothing more, older cousin.” As if Pei Qing was his older cousin.

       Pei Qing turned to the doctor who came out from inside and asked if Chen Youyou had any other issues.

       The doctor, noticing that Pei Qing was slightly older, called him into the office. There, he explained some precautions to Pei Qing and gave him a prescription to pay for. He also mentioned that he needed to receive a tetanus shot.

       As soon as Pei Qing got the bill in his hand, Xie Ling grabbed it and said, “I’ll go, I’m the one who hit him.” After saying that, he quickly walked towards the payment window.

       “What’s going on?” Pei Qing turned around and asked Zhan Weiyang and Chen Youyou.

       Chen Youyou and Zhan Weiyang looked at each other, then chased after Xie Ling. He snatched the payment form back from Xie Ling and said, “Not, you, I’ll pay it, myself.”

       Zhan Weiyang quickly caught up with him and said, “I’ll do it, I’ll do it.”

       Xie Ling glanced at Chen Youyou and reached out to get the prescription back.

       Chen Youyou quickly stepped aside and then ran forward with the payment slip in both hands. Zhan Weiyang quickly chased after him, saying, “Give it to me, give it to me.”

       Xie Ling stood there watching them, and then Pei Qing came over. He said to Pei Qing, “Then I’ll leave first.” Then he walked towards the hospital gate.

       Pei Qing didn’t say anything, and his eyes fell on the two people in front of the payment window.

       Zhan Weiyang kept trying to grab the bill, but Chen Youyou stepped on his feet and raised the bill high with one hand while shaking it left and right, trying not to let Zhan Weiyang take it.

       Until the nurse who charged the fee became angry and shouted, “Do you want to pay? If you don’t pay, get out of the window!”

       The two of them were startled. Zhan Weiyang had the same pale face as Chen Youyou. Chen Youyou immediately stuffed the bill into the window.


The author has something to say:
In the main text, there won’t be a subplot for secondary couples, but occasionally I might feel like writing some side stories. However, there’s no guarantee that I’ll always feel like it, so please don’t expect secondary couples. But if you really mind having secondary couples, you might want to reconsider following the story.

At first, when I was torn between the two types of gong; older cousin and school bully. What I actually wanted to write was not this article, nor was it a story about this kind of shou in Zhan Weiyang. Later, after I decided on the shou’s persona, I felt Yangyang is still more suitable to be with the older cousin. If he is with Xie Ling, I think Xie Ling will suffer a lot in the future. After all, this is a short, sweet article!


Notes:
I have no excuse really, I’ve been slacking in translating (not only just this series actually) because I haven’t been in my best mood overall and since I don’t want to half-assed the translation I’d rather just put this on hold and translate later when my overall mood is better
Sorry for the long wait! I’ll still try to keep up a 1x/week schedule (ˊ ꒳ ˋ)

Chapter 22

       It was the first time that Zhan Weiyang met someone whom Chen Youyou called Yu ge.

       Zhu Xinyu was not tall. His thick hair was dyed yellow and combed straight up. There was a pair of black sunglasses hanging in the pocket of his black shirt.

       He brought three young men with him, one of whom looked younger than Chen Youyou and Zhan Weiyang, with a childish look on his face.

       Zhu Xinyu squatted on the steps leading to the underground commercial street and said to the two of them, “Don’t worry, I just want to teach the brat who bullied my little brother a lesson.”

       Chen Youyou said, “Yes!”

       Zhan Weiyang suddenly felt something was wrong. He said, “No, it’s pretending to teach him a lesson.”

       Zhu Xinyu turned his gaze to his face and asked, “What do you mean pretending to teach me a lesson?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “It means you just can’t hit him. Just taunt him. I’ll hide next to him and I’ll rush out soon.”

       Zhu Xinyu took out the sunglasses from his coat pocket and put them on his face, then asked, “What are we going to do if you rush out?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Just run quickly.”

       At this time, a tall and strong young man standing next to Zhu Xinyu was unhappy. He said, “Then we will lose dignity.”

       Zhan Weiyang glanced at Chen Youyou a little at a loss.

       Chen Youyou came close to Zhu Xinyu’s ear, lowered his voice and said, “My classmate’s brain is not very g-good, you, you just follow him along.”

       Zhu Xinyu looked at Zhan Weiyang and said to Chen Youyou, “I can see it.”

       Chen Youyou added, “But you, have to help teach that Xie Ling for me first, and tell him, to be polite to me in the future. Don’t tell, my classmates about this.”

       Zhu Xinyu nodded.

       Zhan Weiyang found that Zhu Xinyu’s face was always facing his direction, but he was wearing a pair of large sunglasses, so he didn’t know if he was looking at him. Chen Youyou secretly spoke into Zhu Xinyu’s ear, just not wanting him to hear it, so he didn’t lean in to listen, but he felt a little uncomfortable.

       After Chen Youyou finished talking to Zhu Xinyu, Zhan Weiyang grabbed Chen Youyou and asked, “What did you say?”

       Chen Youyou whispered, “I told him to listen to you and stop taking action.”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded quickly.

       They walked slowly along the ramp into the commercial street. This commercial street was very narrow, probably only wide enough for a car to pass. The signs of the shops on both sides were still there, but the doors were all closed and no one was there at noon.

       Zhan Weiyang and Chen Youyou hid at the right stairwell of the exit ramp of the commercial street, which leads to the upper floors, and they went directly to the ground along the ramp.

       Zhu Xinyu and the three young men stood waiting in the middle of the commercial street. They had already seen Xie Ling’s photo. Such a young man with outstanding appearance and temperament, wearing the same school uniform as Chen Youyou and the others, surely wouldn’t be missed.

       Chen Youyou hid behind the wall, squatting on the ground and looking outside. During this time, he looked at the time on his phone. It wouldn’t be long before Xie Ling arrived.

       Zhan Weiyang was a little nervous. He lay on Chen Youyou’s back and looked outside with him, holding Chen Youyou’s shoulder tightly with one hand.

       Chen Youyou raised his head and said, “G-gently.”

       Zhan Weiyang quickly let go and said, “I’m sorry.”

       At this time, they saw Xie Ling riding a bicycle opposite the entrance of this not-so-long underground commercial street.

       Chen Youyou and Zhan Weiyang pulled their heads back almost at the same time, looking at each other guiltily, both afraid that Xie Ling would see them.

       Xie Ling was riding a bicycle very fast. In the blink of an eye, he was in the middle of the commercial street and was stopped by Zhu Xinyu and the others.

       Chen Youyou and Zhan Weiyang didn’t dare to look around. They both squatted against the wall, eavesdropping on the conversation coming from the front.

       Zhu Xinyu said, “Are you Xie Ling?”

       The commercial street was an empty passage, which made even the smallest sound extremely loud, allowing Zhan Weiyang to hear clearly what they were saying.

       However, Xie Ling did not answer Zhu Xinyu’s question.

       One person said, “I’m asking you a question! Are you deaf?”

       Xie Ling then said coldly, “I don’t know you.”

       Zhu Xinyu said, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t know me. Let me tell you, Chen Youyou is my brother. I’m here today to give you a warning. If you see him in the future, be polite. Otherwise, if you mess with him once, I’ll beat you up. Did you hear that?”

       Xie Ling said, “Who is Chen Youyou?”

       Zhan Weiyang felt something was wrong, and he immediately wanted to get up and rush out.

       Chen Youyou grabbed him, pulled him to his side, lowered his voice and said, “Wait, wait!”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at Chen Youyou nervously, and at the same time, he heard someone shouting outside, “What the hell are you pretending for? I’m pissed off just looking at how c0cky you are!”

       He couldn’t hold back his anger and had to go out. Chen Youyou hugged his waist and held him back, saying, “Let them, take care of him a bit!”

       There were some chaotic noises outside, the bicycle bell rang suddenly, and then there was the sound of tyres scraping on the ground, accompanied by the sound of swearing words from the young man who was with Zhu Xinyu.

       Zhan Weiyang and Chen Youyou were stunned for a moment. When they realised that there might be a fight, they suddenly panicked.

       Naturally, Zhan Weiyang didn’t really want to ask someone to beat up Xie Ling. As for Chen Youyou, he wanted to ask someone to beat up Xie Ling, but he had no idea in his head how to beat up Xie Ling.

       All he wanted was to have a group of young toughs surround Xie Ling and give him a scare, so he’d avoid crossing paths with him in the future. He wasn’t keen on seeing things escalate to physical violence and injuring someone.

       So Chen Youyou released his hold on Zhan Weiyang. Seeing Zhan Weiyang get up and run there, he also ran.

       Zhan Weiyang ran out first and saw Xie Ling rushing toward him on a bicycle. He was startled and stopped quickly, and he froze in place.

       Xie Ling was obviously taken aback. He was not in the mood to waste time with a group of social hooligans. He used his wheels to knock people out of the way and planned to ride away directly. There was an uphill road in front of him, so he stepped on the pedals to accelerate, and as a result, he saw someone rushing in front of his wheel from the side.

       Xie Ling could only forcefully swing the handlebars to the right, trying to evade Zhan Weiyang. However, just as he swung to the side, another person rushed out from behind. This time, he couldn’t dodge anymore and had to squeeze the brakes to stop his bicycle abruptly.

       However, Chen Youyou was still knocked to the ground, and his forehead just brushed against the spokes of the front wheel.

       Zhan Weiyang exclaimed, “Ouch!”

       Chen Youyou sat on the ground, completely stunned. He couldn’t react for a while until Zhan Weiyang squatted down to support him and called him in a panic, “Youyou!”

       He replied blankly, “Ugh.” Then he raised his head and glanced at Xie Ling. He saw Xie Ling looking at him seriously.

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Youyou, you are bleeding.”

       Chen Youyou was a little confused and asked, “Where?” After saying that, he felt warm liquid sliding down his cheek. He couldn’t help but raise his hand and touch it. Sure enough, his fingers were covered with blood. He shouted, “Mom, mom, mom!”

       Zhu Xinyu and others gathered around. When they saw the blood on Chen Youyou’s face, some people subconsciously grabbed Xie Ling’s collar, “This kid is too vicious!”

       Zhan Weiyang has not forgotten his mission. While holding Chen Youyou tightly, he raised his head and shouted, “Let him go!”

       Zhu Xinyu was not sure what to do for a while. His brothers who followed him found Xie Ling very unpleasant and wanted to punish him. However, at the moment, it was more important to drive Chen Youyou to the hospital first.

       He then waved his hand and said, “Forget it, let’s all go.” At this point, he also thought of cooperating with Zhan Weiyang and the others in acting, pointed at Zhan Weiyang, and said to Xie Ling, “Today, it’s for the sake of this little friend that I’m letting you off the hook, so don’t forget to thank him properly.” After that, he asked Chen Youyou, “Do you need me to take you to the hospital?”

       Chen Youyou shook his head and said with a pale face, “I’ll go by myself.”

       Zhu Xinyu didn’t want to cause trouble, so he said, “Okay, call me if you need anything.” After that, he called several young people who were travelling with him and left together.

       Zhan Weiyang helped Chen Youyou up and walked slowly outside, thinking of taking a taxi on the roadside.

       Xie Ling rode behind them.

       Zhan Weiyang turned back to Xie Ling and said, “Are you okay?”

       Xie Ling looked at him and shook his head.

       Zhan Weiyang said again, “I’m sorry, go home by yourself. I can’t take you back. I want to accompany Youyou to the hospital.”

       Chen Youyou was so panicked at this time that he couldn’t help but want to touch his forehead and didn’t notice a word of what they were saying.

       Xie Ling’s tone was still cold, but he said, “I’ll go with you.”

Chapter 21

       During the last self-study class in the afternoon, Zhan Weiyang poked Chen Youyou on the back from the back row.

       Chen Youyou raised his head and saw that the teacher was not in the classroom. He also confirmed that the homeroom teacher was not outside the window before turning to the back.

       Zhan Weiyang tried his best to get close to his ear and whispered, “I don’t know how to stop Xie Ling when school is over.”

       Chen Youyou immediately wanted to turn back.

       Zhan Weiyang quickly grabbed Chen Youyou’s collar and said, “But we can take a taxi and wait for him in front.”

       Chen Youyou frowned. He felt that Zhan Weiyang was right, but why didn’t he think of it? He kept thinking about how to stop Xie Ling.

       When Zhan Weiyang saw that Chen Youyou was silent, he thought that Chen Youyou disapproved of him, so he asked cautiously, “How is it?”

       Chen Youyou said, “Let’s talk after class.” Then he turned back.

       By the end of class, he said to Zhan Weiyang, “It, should be okay.”

       Zhan Weiyang was very happy, and the two agreed to stop Xie Ling near a deserted underground commercial street on his way home from school.

       The underground commercial street was parallel to the street next to it. There were not many pedestrians on the street, and the commercial street where it was built was even more deserted with all the shops tightly closed. The last time they followed Xie Ling home on bikes, they noticed Xie Ling would take a shortcut through the underground commercial street. The terrain and environment there were relatively complex, making it perfect for them to lay in ambush.

       In the evening, when Zhan Weiyang was doing his schoolwork at his room’s desk, he flipped his workbook to a blank page and drew a road map on it.

       Zhan Weiyang could not remember the actual topography of that commercial street clearly, but he searched for pictures on the Internet and could barely draw a rough map. He then marked himself and Chen Youyou with small circles on it, and then drew another circle and blackened the inside to mark Xie Ling.

       He held the pen between his fingers and kept tapping his head, thinking about what he would do next. He asked Yu ge and the others to stop Xie Ling, grab his collar and ask him to give him money, and then he rushed out and asked them to let go of him. He would pretend to beat the person away, and then he could chat with Xie Ling.

       Xie Ling would definitely thank him. He would then say it was all good and send Xie Ling home.

       “What are you drawing?” When Zhan Weiyang was lost in thought, Pei Qing’s voice suddenly came from above his head.

       Zhan Weiyang was almost frightened out of his wits. He subconsciously raised his hand to block the workbook and said, “It’s nothing.”

       His drawings were ugly, like ghost talisman drawings. Pei Qing didn’t understand what he was painting at all, but when he raised his hand to cover it, Pei Qing wanted to know.

       Pei Qing had just finished taking a bath, exuding a moist and warm scent and the fragrance of shower gel. She sat down by Zhan Weiyang’s bed, looked at Zhan Weiyang and said, “So as long as I’m not here, you won’t study well, huh?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I didn’t…”

       Pei Qing said, “Then what are you drawing that you dare not show me?”

       Zhan Weiyang lowered his head, slowly moved his arm away, and took a look at the route map he drew. After hesitating for a while, he still didn’t want Pei Qing to be unhappy, so he picked up the workbook and brought it to Pei Qing to show him.

       Pei Qing stared at the lines and circles above and asked, “Are you playing backgammon?”

       Zhan Weiyang shook his head.

       Pei Qing said, “What is that?”

       Zhan Weiyang pointed to the upper circle and said, “This is me.” Then pointed to another circle, “This is Chen Youyou.”

       Pei Qing raised her finger to the black circle, “What about this one?”

       Zhan Weiyang stared at the black circle for a long time before replying, “This is Xie Ling.”

       Pei Qing had heard the name Xie Ling more than once. He asked Zhan Weiyang, “Who is Xie Ling?”

       Zhan Weiyang replied, “A classmate.” He didn’t know why, but when he answered Pei Qing’s question, he suddenly felt guilty and unconsciously dug his fingers into his pants.

       In the end, Pei Qing did not continue to ask further questions and just said, “So what are you doing?”

       Zhan Weiyang suddenly had an epiphany and said, “Hide and seek?” After saying that, he secretly looked at Pei Qing’s expression.

       For a moment, Pei Qing’s expression was complicated, and finally, he said, “Okay, continue reading. You must finish your homework today.”

       Zhan Weiyang said quickly, “Okay.” He went back to the table, tore off the page and continued to work on the questions.

       The two of them stayed quietly in a room, and time gradually passed. When Zhan Weiyang finished writing the homework that had to be completed today, it was already past ten o’clock in the evening.

       He yawned and stretched his hands.

       Pei Qing closed the book in his hand, stood up from Zhan Weiyang’s bedside, and said, “Can you sleep by yourself tonight?”

       Zhan Weiyang stretched halfway and put his hands down in a hurry. He looked at Pei Qing and asked, “Why?”

       Pei Qing put one hand in the pocket of his pyjamas and held a book in the other and said, “Do you want to sleep with me all the time?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Yes.”

       Pei Qing asked, “When will it end?”

       Zhan Weiyang thought for a while and then fell into a brief tangle. He found that he didn’t know how to answer this question.

       Pei Qing said, “I’ll only intern here for six months, then I’ll be returning to school.”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at Pei Qing and asked tentatively, “Then can I sleep with you until you leave?”

       “Why do you have to sleep with me?”

       “I don’t want to sleep alone.”

       “Then did you sleep with your father and brother before?”

       “Sometimes I sleep with my father, not my brother.” Zhan Weiguang never slept with him.

       “Is your father coming back next month?”

       “Dad said so.”

       Pei Qing said, “Alright.” These were his last words, and he stopped questioning Zhan Weiyang.

       Zhan Weiyang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he had passed the exam. He followed Pei Qing to his room and closed the door very gently as if he were afraid of disturbing Pei Qing, who would then kick him out.

       After Pei Qing returned to the room, he turned on the desk lamp and sat beside the bed, put his laptop on his lap and opened it.

       Zhan Weiyang quietly climbed onto the bed from the other side, lifted the quilt and tucked himself in, lying on his side and looking at Pei Qing.

       Pei Qing looked at him after a while and said, “Will it affect your sleep if I turn on the computer?”

       Zhan Weiyang shook his head.

       Pei Qing reached out, covered Zhan Weiyang’s eyes, and said, “Then you go to sleep, I’ll watch a movie for a while.”

       Tomorrow was Saturday. Although Zhan Weiyang had to do make-up classes, Pei Qing didn’t need to go to work. He wanted to finish watching the remaining half of a movie.

       He turned off the desk lamp, put on his headphones, and sat quietly on the bed watching a movie.

       Zhan Weiyang closed his eyes and couldn’t fall asleep for a while, so he secretly opened his eyes again and gently approached Pei Qing to look at his computer screen.

       Pei Qing was watching a foreign movie. When Zhan Weiyang came closer to watch it, the male and female protagonists happened to be hugging each other and kissing. The scene was a bit intense.

       The light blue fluorescence of the computer screen shone on their faces, and Zhan Weiyang’s head almost rested on Pei Qing’s shoulder.

       Suddenly, Pei Qing reached out and covered Zhan Weiyang’s eyes, and said, “Don’t look.”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t wear headphones and couldn’t hear the sound of the movie. He didn’t know what the male and female lead were doing now. He just asked, “Why?”

       Pei Qing’s voice was very soft and she said in his ear, “Children are not allowed to watch.”

       Zhan Weiyang’s heartbeat became faster for no reason, and he said, “I’m not a child.”

       Pei Qing said, “You are. I’m counting to three, two, one, and you should turn around and go to sleep.” After saying that, he started counting down with almost no pause, “Three—”

       Zhan Weiyang suddenly turned over and lay down with his back to Pei Qing. He pulled the quilt over his head and said, “I’m asleep.”

       In the end, he kept counting until he finished counting. Zhan Weiyang closed his eyes and fell asleep very quickly. He didn’t know when Pei Qing fell asleep.
