Zhang Deng felt like he was finished. As an editor, he reported plagiarism only to be subjected to cyberbullying by the influencer's fans, with an overwhelming flood of abusive comments in his ...
Chapter 37: Yuzhou Laiqiang (Part 7) Knowledge changes destiny.
Zhang Deng: “Hmm!”
"It hurts so much!" Zhang Deng's eyes were filled with tears. It was pure pain. He touched his mouth and stretched out his hand to show Wei Yuanye, "It's bleeding!"
Wei Yuanye's expression was cold, and when he had no expression, he seemed a little cruel.
Zhang Deng's face turned red again. He felt a little embarrassed and lowered his head involuntarily.
Zhang Deng felt an indescribable sense of shame: it turned out that Wei Yuanye knew how he felt.
He denied it, threw a tantrum, and shamelessly changed the concept, but even Wei Yuanye himself knew that Zhang Deng liked him.
What about Wei Yuanye?
Is this kiss, which isn't really a kiss, considered a response?
Zhang Deng didn't dare to guess. He wanted to make a joke, but he couldn't find any topic or excuse. He couldn't rationalize Wei Yuanye's behavior.
"I'm... so sleepy," Zhang Deng said as he was about to leave. "Let's take a nap."
Wei Yuanye held him back.
"Do we have to sleep at this time?" Wei Yuanye asked.
Zhang Deng was extremely embarrassed: "Well, what do you want to do?"
He has already realized his own shame and meanness. He is just an ordinary person who can be kidnapped by the suspension bridge effect. He will fall in love with the person who saves him. He is so lacking in love and so cheap.
What else could he do? Zhang Deng felt a surge of resignation. After all, he was already so shameless, who could humiliate him?
But Zhang Deng still couldn't say words like "like" and "love", which was too... too undignified.
Zhang Dengguang has already used up all his face just because he dares to stand opposite Wei Yuanye.
Wei Yuanye said, "What are you thinking about?"
What was I thinking? Zhang Deng was a little confused, and I was scolding myself.
But who can understand his heart? A man walking unsteadily on a suspension bridge, holding a long stick in his hand to represent balance, one side represents his desire for love, the other side represents his desire for dignity.
But what he may end up facing is falling into the abyss and getting nothing in the end.
What kind of future will he and Wei Yuanye have?
Wei Yuanye has his own world, and Zhang Deng has his own world. They are not the same kind of people. Zhang Deng wants to go home, and his Xiao Mi is still waiting for him.
There was no future, but now there was no dignity either. Because everyone knew that Zhang Deng was in love with Wei Yuanye, he could no longer deceive himself, this had long been an open secret.
Even if he denied it a hundred times, no one would believe that he didn't love Wei Yuanye.
Because it's true.
Love cannot be hidden.
Zhang Deng remembered the old saying: There are only two things in this world that cannot be hidden: sneeze and love.
That's right, after all the effort, Zhang Deng put in, he still lost everything.
Zhang Deng felt desperate. He didn't even know why Wei Yuanye wanted to tear the window paper.
Originally, letting them pretend to be good friends for life was the best option for him.
Zhang Deng said, "Why are you doing this?"
Wei Yuanye said: "I like you."
Zhang Deng: “…”
"It's shameful, isn't it?" Wei Yuanye laughed at himself.
Zhang Deng: “?”
Wei Yuanye said: "Every time I go on a mission, the recipients fall in love with me."
"They think...I made sexual advances to earn points." For Wei Yuanye, this was undoubtedly a self-exposure, "but I can't refute it because I have no memory of it."
Zhang Deng seemed to finally understand something - for Wei Yuanye, this relationship was also shameful.
Wei Yuanye said, "I don't know how I carried out my missions in the past, but I think I'm quite shameless. I do like you."
This sentence doesn't sound like something Wei Yuanye would say at all, but that's what he said.
Is it because of this kind of thing that he is making fun of himself? Zhang Deng thought that since Zhang Deng went to the World Tree, Wei Yuanye has always had a gloomy feeling. He couldn't tell what it was because of it, or whether he really had such a feeling.
But at this moment, Zhang Deng seemed to have found the answer.
Wei Yuanye also felt pain and struggled because of this relationship.
He also wants to deny it, that's why his movements are strange and his expression is stiff. He can't figure out his position, can't tell the occasion from the wrong one, and can't sort out the relationship.
So that’s how it is, Zhang Deng thought, so that’s how it is.
If it is two people who are shameful, then miraculously it will no longer be shameful.
Zhang Deng smiled. Wei Yuanye saw his smile and laughed too, but with a more mocking tone. He said, "Do you think this is ridiculous too?"
Zhang Deng: “No.”
Wei Yuanye took a step back and leaned against the shoddy wooden door of the bathroom. Even in this state of dejection, he still looked handsome. He turned his head to face Zhang Deng and said, "But I can't help it."
"Whatever you think," Wei Yuanye said, "it's normal if you feel disgusted."
Zhang Deng couldn't find any words to accurately express his mood, so he could only touch Wei Yuanye's hand first.
When the warm palms touch each other, there is no need to say many words anymore.
There was clear shock in Wei Yuanye's eyes when he looked at Zhang Deng.
Zhang Deng couldn't help but shed tears. They were hot tears, just like his mood, so burning.
Zhang Deng said, "I like you, too."
Said it out loud.
Although it was such a shameful thing to say, Zhang Deng thought that true love was shameless anyway.
No one can preserve their dignity in love. Zhang Deng immediately convinced himself that love is a crudely cut gem. Whenever a person who thinks he is decent is tortured by love and becomes mean, cheap, and servile, the gem will have an extra facet, and eventually it will appear to be shining because of these despicable things.
Because it was so painful, it actually made people nostalgic. Zhang Deng quickly fell in love with this feeling of self-deprecation. This was the feeling he wanted. He was not noble to begin with, and he had the feeling of being despised by others, which was just right.
It’s just a bit unfair to Wei Yuanye.
But Wei Yuanye said he liked me, and Zhang Deng thought, so what if I am a little selfish.
There are so many charges, this one is not the only one.
Wei Yuanye was shocked by Zhang Deng's confession. He seemed to have never expected a response from Zhang Deng, but his character was still nobler than Zhang Deng's. He urged himself to face reality honestly. He said to Zhang Deng, "The treatment you suffered at the World Tree was all because of me. They thought I had caused such a big fuss that you came to me. Because of me, your reputation will also be damaged."
Zhang Deng said, "But my reputation is already bad. I'm a psychopath. I don't care."
There was another thing he didn't dare say. If he could really date a man like Wei Yuanye, what would reputation mean? He would be willing to spend ten years in prison.
Wei Yuanye said: "Did I know that I like you a long time ago?"
Zhang Deng said, "I don't know."
Zhang Deng didn't dare to think so because Wei Yuanye was too outstanding.
Someone who has been so outstanding since childhood can never belong to him.
"Do you know that I like you?" Zhang Deng asked.
Wei Yuanye said, "I know."
Zhang Deng thought to himself, "Sure enough."
But Wei Yuanye underestimated this love. In Wei Yuanye's eyes, he was no different from Liu Yan. He thought that Zhang Deng's feelings towards him were the same, with some love, but more of disgust and disdain.
Wei Yuanye looked at him for a moment, then moved his mouth closer again, this time gently. Zhang Deng didn't resist. Zhang Deng's mouth had a cut, which was a little swollen and red. Wei Yuanye licked it for a while, making Zhang Deng's face flush.
"Okay." Finally, Zhang Deng couldn't stand it anymore and pushed his chest away. He felt that if he kissed him any further, he would explode.
One day could not bear such great happiness. Zhang Deng put his palm on his heart, feeling the "bang" and "bang" vibrations, each of which was protesting to him.
Wei Yuanye's gaze on him intensified his feeling. Wei Yuanye was like a wolf staring at its food.
Why is he like this? Zhang Deng muttered in his heart, why in a relationship, Wei Yuanye suddenly seemed so aggressive?
Zhang Deng had no place to hide under his gaze, so he asked, "Can you please stop looking?"
Wei Yuanye said, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay." Zhang Deng said.
Wei Yuanye looked away, but after a moment, he turned back and said, "One last point."
"I don't know who I provoked in my previous world," Wei Yuanye said. "Maybe someone will come looking for me in another world, but I won't pay any attention to them."
"Oh," Zhang Deng agreed, "I understand."
Wei Yuanye said: "You can be angry, but don't-"
He paused for a moment before uttering the word: "Breaking up is not allowed."
"Okay," Zhang Deng agreed as usual, appearing so docile and obedient. "I understand."
Wei Yuanye stared at him closely and asked, "Are you sure?"
Zhang Deng: "Sure."
Zhang Deng was still clutching the clothes on his chest. He felt that he was even a little breathless, but he really didn't care. He didn't want Wei Yuanye to think that he didn't care about this relationship and Wei Yuanye's past experiences, so he tried his best to organize his thoughts and said, "I can understand."
"Because I'm not jealous," Zhang Deng portrayed himself as extremely rational and noble. "I know who you are. I won't be angry, and I won't... I won't break up with you."
Wei Yuanye looked down at him, countless emotions rolling in his eyes, but he finally suppressed them all and said, "Okay."
Zhang Deng: "Anything else?"
Setting these rules before confirming a relationship should make you appear more sophisticated. Zhang Deng was satisfied with his performance.
Wei Yuanye: “No more.”
Zhang Deng thought carefully about whether he had any bottom line that could not be touched, but when he was happy, he had no idea about possible misfortune, and he could not think of anything that he could not accept.
love.
Zhang Deng's heart was beating like thunder. On the day Wei Yuanye broke into his life, Zhang Deng pretended to be asleep in bed and secretly saw Wei Yuanye sitting on his sofa, stroking his cat, and playing games with his legs crossed.
He thought Wei Yuanye was very handsome and he had imagined that he was his boyfriend, but he never dared to think it would come true.
God, I forgive you. It turns out you really love me.
Zhang Deng thought, everything is over, and my life can start from today and completely write off everything.
