Chapter 31 Do you think you're the only one who can be reborn? [VIP]
"I can't accept this!" The young man in front of him looked almost broken, as if he would shatter completely if he took another step closer. He looked at Qin Yuzhen—his boyfriend of ten years—but at this moment, it was as if he was only just getting to know him, and he was such a stranger.
"Qin Yuzhen, do you understand? I can never accept being your mistress."
Ziyu spoke each word with a tearful, heartfelt tone.
"If you want to get married, then we'll break up!"
Qin Yuzhen's face darkened: "Do you know what you're saying?"
"I know!" Ziyu shouted, staring intently at the man in front of him. Just moments before, he had learned of his boyfriend's request to marry his beloved, and Qin Peng had even gone so far as to fly to him to mock his foolishness and naivety.
"Qinyu Town, just consider these past ten years as a waste of my life." Ziyu exhausted all his strength and said, "Let's break up."
Break up? Qin Yuzhen looked at the almost broken young man in front of him and sneered, "Fine."
He didn't even try to salvage the situation.
"You'll regret it."
Qin Yuzhen didn't believe that the man in front of him could really cut ties completely and never contact him again.
Qin Yuzhen believes that it's more likely that Ziyu is trying to threaten him rather than Ziyu leaving him.
He had no idea that Ziyu, who had always been the most obedient and well-behaved girl in the past ten years, would one day start to put on airs and try to threaten him by breaking up with him.
Qin Yuzhen forcibly ignored his discomfort and slight panic.
"I will have someone come and clarify the property relationship between us."
Ziyu looked at Qinyu Town with disappointment.
Sure enough, he still looks the same.
Cold-hearted and arrogant.
"No need," Ziyu said. "I don't want anything. I'll pack my clothes and leave."
Qin Yuzhen's brows furrowed even deeper.
A self-inflicted injury ruse?
Qin Yuzhen sneered inwardly. He never imagined that Ziyu would use such a clumsy trick to attract his attention.
"what ever."
How could Ziyu really leave him? Ziyu loves him so much. Qin Yuzhen thought that when Ziyu came back, he would agree to be her lover.
His secretary can help him with many trivial matters in life, so Ziyu can leave if he wants.
Initially, it was just a contract where Ziyu's name was mistakenly written. Later, it turned into an accidental spill of water, calling the secretary by the wrong name, and so on.
It wasn't until he was taken to the engagement banquet by Xia Xiaoqiao that he blurted out that his groom's name was Ziyu.
The pain of loss is only realized in hindsight.
At that moment, an indescribable, excruciating pain spread from his heart to every part of his body, and he fainted at his engagement party.
He developed heart problems that day, and no one could find out the truth about his condition. The doctors in the hospital always seemed to be in a hurry, but no one really cared about him.
The hospital only had two departments, orthopedics and dermatology, and nothing else. The doctors were completely helpless with Qin Yuzhen's heart disease, which seemed to be an unexpected occurrence.
Finally, Qinyu Town located Ziyu's current address and office area.
Ziyu's life after leaving him was different from what he had imagined. He was coveted by others, and that guy Tang Zuo was even more ruthless. All the resumes Ziyu submitted were destroyed, and even his last escape route was gradually worn away. But Ziyu did not back down or despair. On the contrary, except for the first few days when Ziyu drowned his sorrows in alcohol, he continued to live positively even after being rejected.
Even without him, Ziyu's life didn't change much.
On that very day, Qin Yuzhen forced himself to stand before Ziyu, and the image of Ziyu in his memory merged with her current appearance.
At this moment, Ziyu was wearing a white coat, and the boy in front of him was the lead actor Mingyu. Mingyu's face was pale, and he looked extremely malnourished. He was tightly clutching the doctor's coat, pleading painfully and desperately.
"Please, don't give up on me... don't give up on me."
The doctor looked at the poor patient with annoyance, his expression clearly showing pity, yet he uttered cruel words: "Don't make things difficult for me..."
"Don't go, no..."
The doctor seemed not to understand why the person in front of him was so persistent in pulling at him, as if he were the last straw. But unfortunately, the doctor did not want to be anyone's savior. He held the patient's hand and, little by little, gently but firmly pried the patient's—ex-lover's—hand off.
The doctor said, exasperated, "Please leave me."
Ziyu said in annoyance, "Please leave me."
With a loud crash, everyone present was startled by the startling sound. Their biggest sponsor, his face grim, swept past everyone, with overturned filming props at his feet. It was clear that the sound had come from him. Qin Yuzhen ignored everyone and walked straight to Ziyu. Then, in front of everyone, he grabbed Ziyu's hand.
Ziyu, who was still immersed in the play, was clearly dragged out of the play. When he saw the person in front of him, he opened his mouth wide in disbelief, and Mingyu, who was acting with him, was obviously also frightened.
Qin Yuzhen's grip on Ziyu was frighteningly strong. Without offering any explanation, he pulled Ziyu away.
All of this happened so fast that even the director didn't have time to react.
By the time they came to their senses, Ziyu had already been taken away from the film crew by Qin Yuzhen.
Mingyu quickly recovered from his shock and immediately chased after them.
The lead actors and key supporting actors had all run away, and even the most composed director couldn't help but yell, "Where are you going? The filming isn't finished yet!"
"Come back! All of you, come back here!"
Lin Keyi, who had been silent all along, finally got up. He was closest to the director and stopped him just as the director was about to chase after him. He smiled, his wildness hidden beneath the smile, and said, "That's enough. We have enough footage left."
On the other side, Ziyu suddenly snapped out of her daze after witnessing the chaotic scene.
My wrist was so swollen from being pulled that it turned red.
"What are you doing!" Ziyu abruptly shook off Qin Yuzhen's hand, frowning as she questioned, "What's wrong with you?"
He hadn't even gone to find Qin Yuzhen yet, but unexpectedly Qin Yuzhen appeared now, and acted so erratically.
"What am I doing? What are you doing?"
Qin Yuzhen stopped and turned to look at Ziyu. "What are you doing dressed like that?"
"Didn't you realize? I was acting."
Why did you choose to act?
"The actor who played this role had an accident, so there was no other way but for me to fill in," Ziyu replied patiently.
"You're not even in this profession! You think you can just act because they tell you to? Do you know how badly I almost thought—"
The unfinished words stuck in his throat.
"What did you think?"
As Qin Yuzhen looked at Ziyu, who was frowning and becoming increasingly impatient, his fear grew little by little.
He almost... almost thought Ziyu had also been reborn...
"Yuzhen, I don't know what's wrong with you lately, but can't you talk to me properly?" Ziyu suppressed her temper and tried to maintain her gentle and submissive persona as she replied to Qin Yuzhen, "I'm doing this for the good of the company. Mingyu's drama can't have too many problems."
Qin Yuzhen listened to Ziyu's words, staring blankly at the incessantly chattering Ziyu. The words were uttered from Ziyu's mouth and entered his left ear, while the Chinese characters were broken down into unknown strokes and dots that came out from his right ear. He couldn't understand what Ziyu was saying at all.
The thought that Ziyu might also be reborn made his heart race with panic.
Ziyu said a lot, but when she came to her senses, she saw Qin Yuzhen looking dazed.
Ziyu: ?
What exactly happened?
Just as Ziyu was about to speak, the noisy telephone rang suddenly.
"Ziyu? Is that Ziyu? Come back quickly! Your aunt committed suicide!"
Startled, Ziyu ignored Qin Yuzhen, who was still in a daze, and quickly asked, "What?"
Wait a minute! How could this be?
"Forget everything else! Come back quickly!"
Ziyu hung up the phone and called Qinyu Town several more times, but Qinyu Town did not respond.
Ziyu was anxious. In the actual storyline, it was impossible for his aunt to commit suicide at this time. He had to go back and check on her!
He's already strayed 15% from the plot point; he can't afford to stray any further.
Ziyu called out Qin Yuzhen's name one last time, but Qin Yuzhen remained motionless, as if under a spell, his head bowed, muttering something that Ziyu couldn't understand. In the end, she could only send a message and her location to her secretary and urgently call a driver to pick her up.
Not long after Ziyu left, Mingyu, who had caught up with him, finally arrived late.
"Brother Ziyu!"
Mingyu watched as Ziyu got into the car, and pursed his lips.
He turned his gaze to Qin Yuzhen, who was standing to the side.
Unable to contain his inner rage any longer, he lunged forward and kicked out hard.
This kick jolted Qin Yuzhen, who was lost in his own inner world, awake.
Mingyu's eyes were full of hostility, completely unlike the sunny and innocent big boy he appeared to be.
"Why don't you just die?!"
Qin Yuzhen snapped out of his daze, the pain in his abdomen causing him to furrow his brow.
Why do you keep ruining all of this?!
Mingyu shouted, then kicked Qin Yuzhen hard again. The force was so great that Qin Yuzhen felt his abdominal flesh turn blue and painful almost instantly. He tried to stand up, but Mingyu immediately bent down and grabbed his collar tightly. "What good are you to him besides keeping him confined to that small area?! If you don't love him, you'd better let him go!"
"What nonsense are you spouting?!" Qin Yuzhen's face contorted with rage as he clenched his left fist and slammed it into Mingyu's cheek!
"I can't separate from Ziyu!"
Mingyu's face was slapped to the side, and he tasted blood in his mouth.
"You're not going to break up with him? What? You killed him once, and now you want to kill him a second time?"
Just as he was about to deliver another punch, Qin Yuzhen abruptly stopped, staring in shock at Mingyu's profile.
It was indeed a familiar face, but the words it spoke filled Qin Yuzhen with an unprecedented sense of unfamiliarity and fear.
"Qin Yuzhen, do you think you're the only one who can be reborn?"
