He Zhijin was heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do. The weight of responsibility on his shoulders was suffocating him. He knew that if he turned around, he would not be able to make up his mind. He could only turn his back on him and say sorry over and over again.

Later, I heard that Jing Zuohuai went abroad for further studies, and I felt relieved.

But who knew that everything he did was for himself. I thought he had given up at that time, but who would have thought that he carried himself for so long.

How tiring and painful it must be...

"After the team disbanded, I helped Qiuchi and the others get liquidated damages. That money should be considered compensation." He Zhijin sighed. "Chiyang was more ruthless than I thought. At first, he didn't even want to pay the liquidated damages. In the end, I had to use some tricks to get him to relent."

In exchange, He Zhijin became Chi Yang's manager, responsible for leading the new boy band. There was a lot to learn, and the people he was leading were not easy to deal with, so He Zhijin put a lot of effort into them.

Although things were not going as planned, this time he was no longer as confused as before. Instead, he kept adjusting himself and doing everything well.

Because he knew that Jing Zuohuai would come back one day, and would become better and stronger. He didn't want Jing Zuohuai to be disappointed because of him, and he didn't want to be too far away from him, because he was also afraid that he would grow to a position that he could not reach.

I hit the wall and shattered it into pieces, but reality was not any kinder to me.

"I gave up my dreams, my self-esteem was worn down, and my love was exhausted." He Zhijin spoke calmly, as if he had let go of everything. "The desensitization stage was very difficult, but I made it through it."

After being trapped in rules for too long, freedom makes people feel a little restrained.

"Actually, I personally feel that I'm not a lucky person, but an unlucky one." He Zhijin turned and looked at him with love in his eyes. "But I met you, signed with your studio, and became your agent and assistant."

"Because of your persistence, I have regained the courage to pursue my dreams. Thank you, my baby."

When Jing Zuohuai heard him speak, he suddenly sat up from the bed, his voice a little tense, not knowing what to say.

"Wow..."

He Zhijin was amused by his opening voice and quickly sat on the bed and hugged him. Wasn't this part just about playing the victim? Why was this baby crying?

"Oh, what's wrong?" He Zhijin's voice was so soft, "Why are you crying? Are you worried about me? This is all in the past. It's over. It's okay now."

Jing Zuhuai wiped his tears and sobbed, unable to utter a single word. He Zhijin helped him catch his breath and kissed his cheek from time to time.

"I, I'm fine. I just, just, uh..." His voice was still a little choked up, "I always thought I was wrong. People around me said I was paranoid and didn't respect you. But I think you just like the entertainment industry, you belong here."

It seems I did nothing wrong.

He Zhijin just hugged and kissed him, smiling at him with love.

"You're right. I'm afraid you know me better than I do myself. My baby has helped me so much. If I don't come back soon, I'll be exhausted."

Jing Zuhuai shook his head, wanting to say it was okay. He had done this out of selfish motives. Even if He Zhijin didn't like him in the end, it didn't matter. He had already fulfilled his dream by allowing him to return to this stage.

"Okay, now that we've talked about it, let's forget about the unpleasantness before, okay?"

Jing Zuohuai nodded quickly.

"So, now..."

"Wait, I have another question." Jing Zuohuai hesitated, but still looked at him very seriously, "Just now, you called me baby many times, and, and kissed me...just..."

It was too ambiguous, and he even felt a little embarrassed. But he still wanted to ask, what if, what if he had the same idea as him?

But He Zhijin just smiled, a very happy smile. This made Jing Zuohuai even more puzzled. He was afraid that it would be different from his expectations. He was very afraid.

"Blame me, I wasn't clear enough." He Zhijin kissed his eyes, "I like you, I want to be with you, I've wanted to be with you since the first time I saw you."

What?

"I know you mean the same thing." He Zhijin said, feeling that he owed him a lot.

He had gone too far before, and had made Jing Zuhuai sad for a long time. He felt deeply hurt whenever he thought about it. But that wouldn't happen again. He would never make him sad again. He would make up for all that he owed him.

"This confession comes too late. My withdrawal made my baby wait for a long time. I'm sorry."

It won't happen again, never again. He won't abandon Jing Zuohuai, he will always be by his side, progressing and growing with him.

"Jing Zuohuai, I like you and I love you." His tone was sincere and firm. "So, baby, are you willing to be with me?"

He felt his pockets, but found nothing. Feeling a little embarrassed, he fumbled for the necklace and took it out. It was the pendant Jing Zuohuai had designed for him. He Zhijin took it out and placed it in his palm.

"I'm a little embarrassed to say this. I was planning to give it to you as a token of our love, but it hasn't arrived yet." He Zhijin said a little embarrassedly, "I'll leave the thing you gave me with you for now. I'll come back to exchange it with you when the gift for you arrives. Is that okay?"

Jing Zuohuai looked at the pendant in his hand and suddenly smiled. Why did it feel so cheap? Who would use a gift from someone else as a deposit?

But the weight in his hand made him feel at ease and made him realize that He Zhijin really belonged to him.

"You've always known that I like you. Do you think I would reject you?"

He Zhijin hugged him tightly, kissing him again and again. He had never felt so happy before. He was like a child who had suddenly found a treasure. He was so happy.

"Hey, do you want to reject me? After all, I rejected you before." He Zhijin suddenly thought, "Don't you want revenge? I will confess my love to you even if you reject me."

Jing Zuohuai just shook his head and scratched his nose with a smile, "Silly, aren't you? I don't have any intention of taking revenge on you."

How could I bear to do that? I simply can’t bear to do that.

"Baby, you're too soft. I can't bear to bully you like this."

"Then...bully me, I'm willing to let you bully me." Jing Zuohuai smiled and kissed him, "I have a good temper, so I won't be angry with you, as long as you don't bully me too harshly."

"So well-behaved." He Zhijin smiled, "I can't bear to bully you. I just got her and confirmed our relationship, so I have to pamper her first."

It’s great that I’m finally together with He Zhijin~
