Su Luyang looked at Xiang Ling in horror, tears streaming down his face, but he couldn't help but say, "Xiao Ling..."

Xiang Ling's face turned black: "Shut up!"

Su Luyang's hands were shaking. He wanted to take out a cigarette, but he didn't dare to smoke in front of Xiang Ling. He reached out and touched the small candy box.

After a while, Xiang Ling saw Su Luyang handing him a candy.

It was the kind of mouth-clearing candy he was used to eating. He had a habit of collecting candy boxes and had a bunch of them stored in the cabinet.

This candy is very sweet. Su Luyang disliked it when he ate it for the first time, but now he carries it with him all the time in order to quit smoking.

Xiang Ling's nose felt sore, he glared at Su Luyang fiercely, snatched the candy and put it in his mouth.

Ugh—it’s so sweet, I don’t know why I like it.

Xiang Ling thought with disdain.

Su Luyang's rental apartment was not far from the central square, a quiet apartment amidst the bustle. He didn't want to share with strangers, so he rented the entire apartment. It had two bedrooms, a living room, and a garden balcony. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, making it a very suitable place to live.

Xiang Ling couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after he entered.

Su Luyang is a person who knows how to live. Xiang Ling has always known this. Although he likes to stay in bed every day, he will do everything in an orderly manner after getting up. He will not forget life for the sake of studying, nor will he be lazy for the sake of life.

Even though he only lived in this short-term rental house for a month, Su Luyang made it feel like home.

Su Luyang squatted on the ground and took out a pair of pink bunny cotton slippers from the shoe cabinet: "This is for you."

Xiang Ling lowered his head and found that Su Luyang was already wearing a pair of blue cotton slippers of the same style.

Xiang Ling couldn't help but sneer: "Prepare for me? Aren't you in the United States? I'll wear it when I go to the United States."

Su Luyang coughed lightly, raised his head and looked at Xiang Ling, and said seriously: "To me, you have always been by my side."

Xiang Ling stood where he was, lowering his head to look at Su Luyang who was squatting on the ground.

Su Luyang's eyes were bright, and after crying just now, they were even more watery and slightly red. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she timidly reached out to help him take off his shoes.

Xiang Ling looked at the top of his head, feeling angry and sad for a moment.

He took a step back and said loudly, "Get out of the way. I know how to change my shoes."

Su Luyang didn't stand up either. He took a step back and squatted behind Xiang Ling, curling up into a ball with his arms and legs stretched out to block the door.

It seemed as if he was afraid that Xiang Ling would leave.

Xiang Ling: “…”

Xiang Ling looked down at Su Luyang, and Su Luyang looked up at Xiang Ling, blinking his peach blossom eyes, looking pitiful and aggrieved.

Xiang Ling took two deep breaths, but he couldn't hold it in any longer, so he half-knelt down and stretched out his hands to pull Su Luyang's hair.

Xiang Ling pulled so hard that Su Luyang couldn't squat steadily and fell to the ground with his butt. His hair was a mess, as if he had been severely abused.

"You're a moron, a fool, a idiot, a brainless bastard, a fool, a jerk!" Xiang Ling cursed Su Luyang as if to vent his anger, but Su Luyang never resisted from beginning to end, and just stared at Xiang Ling the whole time.

It's like the look a stray dog ​​gives its owner when it finally finds a home and is about to be sent away again.

"I'm really screwed to meet you." Xiang Ling spoke fiercely, but his heart was soft as a mess. He held Su Luyang's head and kissed him viciously.

Most of his anger had long since subsided, and now he felt more powerless. He thought he had already entered Su Luyang's heart, but in the blink of an eye he found that this person was still cautiously pushing him into the safe zone he had set.

Xiang Ling understood that Su Luyang was afraid that he would worry, but it was precisely because he understood that Xiang Ling felt even more distressed and angry.

Xiang Ling could see from Su Luyang's performance along the way, including every little movement he made, that Su Luyang really lacked a sense of security and was walking on thin ice with caution.

Was Su Lvyang's deception really that serious? Would they really break up if he got angry? It was obvious with a toe that it wasn't that serious, and it definitely wouldn't lead to a breakup. Yet, Su Lvyang acted as if they were bound to break up.

Xiang Ling didn't believe that Su Luyang didn't trust him. He knew how much Su Luyang liked him. He trusted Su Luyang, and Su Luyang also trusted him.

Eighty percent of the reason Su Luyang acted like that was because he didn't believe in himself. And the reason he didn't believe in himself was definitely the same reason he took a year off from school.

Xiang Ling wanted to curse again. Who on earth hurt his Su Luyang? He really wanted to find him and beat him up without caring about anything.

"Xiao Ling..." Su Luyang sat on the ground and hugged Xiang Ling, "Are you still angry?"

"Are you talking nonsense?" Xiang Ling stood up, took off his shoes and put on the pink slippers that Su Luyang prepared for him.

Not to mention it's quite cute.

As Xiang Ling walked towards the living room, he was surprised at his good temper.

Less than half an hour after Su Luyang cheated him, he had almost forgiven Su Luyang and was still standing up for this liar. What kind of magical power is this? Is it all because of love?

This is totally unlike my old self. I was able to calm down quickly even when I was angry.

Xiang Ling sat on the sofa. Su Luyang stood beside him and asked, "Would you like some water?"

Xiang Ling nodded, and Su Luyang went to the kitchen to get a cup of water. The kitchen of this house was open, and it also had a small bar, which was a bit like a bar and a bit like a teppanyaki restaurant.

Xiang Ling looked at Su Luyang, and remembered what he had said in the supermarket before. He was curious: "You said you were learning to cook?"

Seeing that Xiang Ling was willing to talk to him in a friendly tone, Su Luyang finally smiled: "It's impossible for both of us not to know how to cook. We will have to cook at home in the future."

Xiang Ling was stunned for a moment, inexplicably warmed by Su Luyang's words.

It wasn't that strange, because Su Luyang's words were clearly about planning their future. Xiang Ling really liked this natural feeling, wanting to give the other person a sense of home.

"So what will you do now?" Xiang Ling asked.

"Originally, I was supposed to learn how to make stir-fried clams and fish with Sichuan peppers today. My junior is very good at cooking, and I wanted to learn more now so that I can surprise you later." Su Luyang came over and put two glasses of water on the coffee table. Xiang Ling discovered that these were also a pair of couple cups. Su Luyang really had prepared everything.

But that student...

Xiang Ling snorted coldly, Su Luyang is a fool who attracts bees and butterflies without knowing it!

"I can't cook many dishes now, but I feel that I am quite talented. Can I cook for you tonight?" Su Luyang asked.

Xiang Ling raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, and leaned back on the sofa with his arms crossed: "Su Luyang, have you forgotten what the situation is now?"

Su Luyang immediately backed down.

"Go ahead and tell us everything you need to confess." Xiang Ling said.

Su Luyang suppressed his expression, sat on the carpet, looked at Xiang Ling and said, "I—"

"Wait." Xiang Ling interrupted him and patted the empty space beside him. "Come here, talk to me in my arms."

Su Luyang smiled, and his mood instantly changed from sadness to happiness.

Xiang Ling still cared about him and was afraid that he would be sad so he hugged him and told him.

happy.

Su Luyang quickly sat on the sofa and lay sideways in Xiang Ling's arms. He looked at Xiang Ling and said, "Baby, I love you so much."

Xiang Ling said perfunctorily: "Yes, I love you too. Let's talk business first."

Su Luyang nodded and began to tell the story.

"Do you know Tom Sue?" Su Luyang asked.

Xiang Ling: “…”

Xiang Ling rolled his eyes: "I know, it's the same as Mary Sue."

Su Luyang was stunned for a moment, then he said with a smile: "No, do you know the opera singer Tom Su?"

Xiang Ling shook his head.

Su Luyang said: "He is my father, an opera singer. My mother is a stage playwright."

Su Luyang spoke a little fast, as if he didn't want to dwell on this for too long. He spoke very carefully, but without much of his own emotions, as if this story had nothing to do with him.

Xiang Ling had only heard half of it when he concluded in his mind that it was a story about a scumbag, a slutty woman, and a child who suffered.

Su Luyang's parents were high school classmates and had been together since before graduation. Su Luyang's father's family was an artistic family, and his grandparents and all his relatives followed in this path. They should have been elegant, but in reality, they were arrogant.

They look down on Su Luyang's mother.

Su Lvyang's mother was from an ordinary family. She was hardworking, had good grades, and most importantly, was beautiful. It was clear from Su Lvyang that his mother was a school beauty back then.

But the Tom Su family just looked down on her, thinking that she had nothing but a face.

At that time, family opposition was nothing to the young couple, and Tom Sue and his mother remained inseparable. They broke up after graduating from high school. Tom Sue was admitted to the Juilliard School for Opera, while his mother could only go to a domestic university.

Before they separated, Tom Sue and Sue's mother had sex for the first time, and countless times afterwards.

Two months later, during the university’s military training, Mother Su fainted on the playground.

She is pregnant.

Later, Su's mother took a leave of absence from school, went to the United States, married Tom Su, and gave birth to Su Luyang.

Tom Sue's family had originally disliked Sue's mother, and because she was pregnant out of wedlock, they had an even worse impression of her, thinking she was a woman who relied on her child for her status. But they had to take responsibility for their child, so they agreed to the marriage, but it was conditional.

It was not until Su Luyang became an adult that people in the circle learned that Tom Su had been secretly married and had a tall and handsome son. As for who the son's mother was, no one knew.

The price Su's mother paid for marrying into the Su family was that she would no longer have any contact with Tom Su in public.

For a family like Tom Su's, any marriage that is not recognized by the family is equal to zero.

Mother Su thought about revealing the secret privately, but Tom Su would not allow her to do so, because it went against the family's wishes. Mother Su would definitely be kicked out of the Su family, and Tom Su would not be able to get his share of the family property.

Life in a large family is far less free than Su's mother imagined.

From then on, no matter who Tom Su had scandals with or who he was close to, it had nothing to do with Su's mother.

Unfortunately, Tom Sue is also a scumbag. He is happy with his secret marriage because no one knows he is married, and there will be countless girls who don't know the truth and will keep throwing themselves at him.

Mother Su is not someone who can be completely manipulated. She knows that the Su family values ​​Su Luyang, the son of Tom Su, so she starts to take action against Su Luyang. She was able to marry into the Su family with the help of Su Luyang, and now she can rely on Su Luyang to gain a foothold in the Su family.

Therefore, Su Luyang's life before the age of 18 was always under the control of his parents. He never lived the way he wanted, only the way he could live.

He has no hobbies of his own. It can also be said that Su Luyang once had hobbies, but he had to give up those hobbies under the threats of his parents.

Later, Su Luyang no longer had any hobbies, only specialties.

Every song he can sing, every poem he can recite, every musical instrument he can play, every dance he can dance, even the tone and accent of his voice, the friends he knows, the way he walks, etc., are what his parents want him to be.

He became a favored child of destiny that everyone envied. He was very outstanding, he looked sunny and cheerful, he was kind and brave, had many friends, respected his teachers and loved his classmates.

But he has always been the Su Luyang created by his parents, a Su Luyang without his own ideas.

Things always take a turn for the better. No one expected that when Su Luyang was eighteen years old, he met a girl.

This person was called Yilian, and she was a neighbor who moved next door to Su Luyang in the summer when he turned 18. She was five years older than Su Luyang and was a musical actress.

Originally, Su Luyang's life would not have been any different, but by chance, Elaine discovered the abnormal relationship in Su Luyang's family.

This family didn't treat their child as a child at all. In the eyes of Tom Su and Su's mother, Su Luyang was just a tool to maintain their marriage and family relationships. They imprisoned Su Luyang, cut off Su Luyang's arms, and made him live the way they wanted.

Elaine watched Su Luyang countless times as he walked home with a smile on his face, humming a song as he opened the door, and then the moment he closed the door, he looked lost and expressionless.

It’s as if Su Luyang outside the door and Su Luyang inside the door are actually two different people.

Later, Elaine rescued Su Luyang. She taught Su Luyang how to escape from his parents' control and took Su Luyang to appreciate the beauty of musicals. She secretly took Su Luyang to an interview and let him perform on the musical stage.

At the request of his parents, Su Luyang should have studied opera like his father and become an excellent opera singer.

That was the first time Su Luyang openly disobeyed his parents. He gave up opera and started studying musical theatre instead.

Su Luyang is very outstanding. He became a rising star of the musical of their class. He began to become truly sunny and cheerful, and lived the life that countless people envied.

He relied on his own efforts, and when he got the leading role in his first commercial musical, his grandparents finally agreed to let Tom Su disclose his marriage status, and the Su family was willing to acknowledge the existence of Su's mother.

That was the happiest time for Su Luyang. His mother finally smiled at him, and the gloom that always lingered in the house seemed to disappear without a trace.

Su Luyang is now completely different from his former self, and the person he is most grateful to at that time is Elaine.

But the more grateful you are at the beginning, the more disgusted you will be at the end.

His parents were never able to make it public.

Tom Sue cheated on his wife with Elaine, who was five years older than him.

The author has something to say:

Tomorrow will be the last bloody chapter...
