Chapter 25 Can He Really Save Him? [VIP]
With lingering fear, Qin's mother patted her chest and led Qin's father away.
When Qin's father left, he was practically kicked in the butt by Qin's mother.
Even though Qin's father kept insisting that he hadn't met Ziyu, Qin's mother didn't believe him and kept cursing and hitting him along the way.
This made Qin's father even more certain that Ziyu was a terrifying monster who had bewitched his son and then his wife, who left in fear and terrification.
Qin Yuzhen was still in shock at almost seeing Ziyu fall again. He held Ziyu tightly as if he had just regained her, ignoring his mother's questions.
Ziyu had no choice but to drag her soulless body back to her room, crying over the money she had lost.
As soon as the door closed, Qin Yuzhen came to his senses and circled around Ziyu's body, carefully checking for any injuries.
Ziyu hung his head, looking utterly hopeless to Qin Yuzhen.
Qin Yuzhen felt a little relieved after confirming that Ziyu had not suffered any external injuries.
"They didn't give you any trouble, did they?"
Qin Yu asked, his words carrying a ruthless tone that implied he would turn against Qin's parents if they dared to make things difficult for Ziyu.
Ziyu replied dejectedly, "No."
Qin Yuzhen didn't quite believe it, but he also knew he couldn't push Ziyu too hard.
Qin Yuzhen said, "If they do anything to upset you, you should tell me."
Ziyu nodded haphazardly, "Mhm."
Qin Yuzhen was still a little worried, so he picked up his phone and told his secretary that he needed to take a few days off.
Ziyu was taken aback: "Should we ask for leave? Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"
During their first playthrough, they were practically working 007 to develop the company, so they couldn't just take a break whenever they wanted.
Ziyu was exhausted, and Qin Yuzhen was exhausted too; neither of them had much of a chance to catch their breath. Ziyu was doing it for the mission, while Qin Yuzhen was doing it more out of a sense of pride. He was proud by nature, unwilling to bow his head, and never willing to give up easily in anything he did.
He never imagined that Qin Yuzhen would take leave because he might get injured.
Qin Yuzhen slowly revealed a reassuring smile: "It's alright, I had already arranged everything by the time I arrived."
Ziyu hadn't been able to get involved in the company's internal affairs during this period, so naturally he didn't know how Qin Yuzhen, with over ten years of experience from his previous life, was managing the company.
What once seemed difficult for Qinyu Town now appears remarkably simple and easy to handle.
However, all these company matters are secondary to Ziyu's safety. His rebirth was solely for Ziyu's sake.
He would do anything and give anything as long as Ziyu felt happy and content.
Even if it costs him his life.
"It's up to you to decide." Ziyu, fitting the submissive character, smiled gently and understandingly. "If the company needs me, I can come anytime."
Qin Yuzhen sighed, recalling the illness Ziyu had developed in his previous life due to work and social engagements.
Ziyu has always been like this.
What merit or ability does he possess...?
Qin Yuzhen said, "It's alright, you should rest well and go in a few days."
*
As night fell, Ziyu lay in bed, held tightly in Qin Yuzhen's arms.
This is the third day of my vacation after moving in.
He barely managed to squeeze through the embrace of the large Qin Yuzhen and the pressure of the blankets, desperately trying to breathe in fresh oxygen as if he had escaped a desperate situation.
Fortunately, the air conditioning was set to a low temperature; otherwise, wrapped up like that in such hot weather, he would have either suffocated or died from the heat.
He couldn't understand it. Why was he sleeping with Qin Yuzhen? Why weren't they in separate rooms?
"You live in this room."
Qin Yuzhen raised his chin and looked at Ziyu with indifferent eyes, as if the young man in front of him was not his boyfriend, but a stranger.
Ziyu pursed his lips. Although he was living in his boyfriend's house, he had a strange feeling of being a dependent.
How dare a submissive uke resist the arrangements of a scumbag seme?
It's already a great favor that he can live with Qin Yuzhen.
"From now on, don't come in without my permission," Qin Yuzhen said coldly.
Ziyu turned his head away, seemingly unwilling to let Qin Yuzhen see his embarrassment. This was really painful for the submissive who was overjoyed and thought he could take living with Qin Yuzhen to the next level. It is rare for someone to live with their boyfriend and sleep in a separate room, not to mention that Qin Yuzhen's attitude towards him was no different from that towards a tenant.
Ziyu said, "Okay."
[This system is amazing! I thought I'd lose all privacy after moving in! I didn't expect that little scumbag Qin Yuzhen to be so understanding!]
Ziyu happily carried the things into the room.
System: [Whatever makes you happy.]
Ziyu: [I love having my own room! No rent or utilities! Plus, my own room, so awesome!]
I'm not happy at all!
Ziyu couldn't understand why they hadn't been assigned rooms. The scumbag hadn't suggested it, and as a simp, he certainly wouldn't have said so.
So Ziyu could only move in with a sorrowful expression.
The money is gone, and so is the privacy.
What's even more frightening is that Qin Yuzhen seems to have developed a skin hunger disorder, clinging to him and refusing to let go. Things were relatively normal a while ago, but perhaps because they live in different places and spend little time together, Qin Yuzhen still maintains a certain distance from him.
But after moving in, during his few days of vacation, he followed Ziyu everywhere he went, and at night he wouldn't leave him alone. If he wasn't sure that the game NPCs wouldn't be replaced, Ziyu would have suspected that Qinyu Town was being possessed from time to time.
Otherwise, how could someone change so much?
In the previous playthrough, he was forced to recover from a fracture after only a short stay. He spent the first month of summer vacation in a hospital ward and only moved into a guest room to recuperate in the second month.
At that time, Qin Yuzhen's attitude towards him was frighteningly cold.
The nanny brings in all three meals a day, and the caregiver also takes care of her when she bathes.
In short, he will never follow me around like a shadow like this again, and I won't wrap him up like this at night.
Ziyu pondered for a long time.
He couldn't understand it.
Qin Yuzhen's grip on his hand began to loosen, and Ziyu quickly seized the opportunity to turn over. Just as Qin Yuzhen was about to frown, he grabbed a pillow and stuffed it into Qin Yuzhen's arms.
Qin Yuzhen no longer frowned.
Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief.
He slowly walked out of the room and onto the balcony.
He's still preoccupied with the prize money he lost.
The reason this scene resulted in a higher fine is because he should have been in the hospital feeling melancholic at that point in time, and then, upon learning that Qin Yuzhen had kept his first mistress, he would be heartbroken but dare not resist.
His silence these past few days is because he's thinking about how to steer the story back on track.
Just now, he thought of it.
Ziyu opened the door, looked at the familiar stairwell, and took another deep breath.
He calculated that although the storylines involving Qin's parents were lost, the plot of him learning about the cheating scumbag while bedridden was still achievable.
Based on this calculation, he will only deviate from the plot value by 10%, which will allow him to recover at least 10% of the bonus!
As long as he can break a bone!
Compared to money, what's a broken bone?! He won't die anyway!
Ziyu stood at the top of the stairs and stretched her leg muscles.
—Although he had a vague feeling that it was unlikely he would find a lover in Qinyu Town this time around…
Ready.
Ziyu tripped and fell straight down!
The house I bought in Qinyu Town has floors that are very far apart, and the stairs are long and steep.
Ziyu felt as if the world was turning upside down, her back slamming against the sharp corner again and again, and her calves hitting the handrail under the armrest. Pain traveled up her calves and back.
With a thud, Ziyu fell heavily down the last step.
Ziyu's beautiful calves were now twisted in a strange way, and she grimaced as she covered her calves.
It hurts!
Ziyu assured him that his lower leg must be badly broken.
As he wished, he heard the familiar electronic voice of his assistant.
[Plot repair value 10%, 10% bonus returned.]
The sound was so beautiful that Ziyu almost forgot the pain of his broken leg.
He cried out in pain while simultaneously laughing.
We made it back, a full two million...
Two million yuan!
With this money, what does it matter how much pain or suffering he endures? As long as he has money, he doesn't need anything else; he just wants money.
Even in the summer nights, it was still hot, and the marble floor quickly warmed up as well.
The injured area on my back started to burn with pain.
If he starts yelling now, given how much Qin Yuzhen cares about him lately, he might just rush out and take him for a checkup the next second.
That won't do; he'll suffer from aftereffects. He needs to call later.
Ziyu's idea is good.
He found a relatively comfortable and less painful position, and only after taking several deep breaths did he find it.
His eyelids were twitching badly, and Ziyu reached out to press them down.
At that very moment, Ziyu caught a glimpse of light out of the corner of his eye.
He looked up—
A tall man was standing at the bottom of the stairs in the otherwise empty room.
A faint light shone through the doorway, casting an indistinct shadow on the man's face.
On this extremely hot night, a sudden coolness came from beneath me.
When did he start standing there?!
The man was as silent as a mountain. He walked slowly and heavily to Ziyu's side.
The faint moonlight shone through the window above the stairwell, illuminating the man's handsome, sculpted face and reflecting the suppressed pain beneath his deep black eyes.
"I...I didn't see the road clearly when I came out..." Ziyu hurriedly blurted out the excuse he had prepared.
Qin Yuzhen remained silent.
Ziyu's heart was in his throat.
He asked cautiously, "Are you angry?"
Qin Yuzhen still didn't answer. He looked at Ziyu's twisted calves, and the almost desperate pain in his heart almost suffocated him.
"...Does it hurt?" Qin Yuzhen asked in a low voice. He had already sent a message to the emergency center before coming down.
Ziyu was stunned.
He didn't expect Qin Yuzhen's first reaction to ask him if he was in pain.
He thought Qin Yuzhen would mock him for being stupid, blame him, and question him.
"...Uh, does it hurt?" Ziyu asked tentatively.
The pain of a fracture is naturally unbearable, but he has become quite resistant to injuries. As an orphan in real life, he has long been used to getting hurt.
This is why he didn't hesitate to break his leg for money.
After all, compared to being broke, the pain of being injured is nothing.
Qin Yuzhen looked at Ziyu in despair.
Ziyu could actually see a hint of heartbreak in his eyes.
……broken?
Why does Qin Yuzhen have this feeling in his eyes?
The ambulance arrived quickly, and Ziyu was put into it. Although Ziyu seemed to be in control at first, he actually fainted from the pain not long afterward.
Looking at Ziyu sleeping on the stretcher, her face was almost deathly pale from the pain.
Therefore, Ziyu had no idea how turbulent Qin Yuzhen's emotions were right now.
Qin Yuzhen gripped Ziyu's hand tightly.
How could that be? How could this happen?
He couldn't understand how someone as cautious as Ziyu could possibly leave the house and accidentally fall down the stairs.
When the doctor handed the medical record to Qin Yuzhen, he looked at the injury report, which was exactly the same as in his previous life, and the suffocation in his heart intensified.
How could that be...
How can they be exactly the same?!
Hasn't he changed?
Why did it end up like this?
The doctor said, "If you had brought this leg fracture earlier, it would have been much better. You came too late, and even if it's healed, it will leave lasting effects."
They are exactly the same.
Same.
For the first time, the usually proud heir of the Qin family showed a helpless expression.
The worst thought crossed his mind: Could it be that his rebirth couldn't change the predetermined outcome?
Will Ziyu still get hurt or die?
