It was a little after nine in the morning. Liang Yisheng was driving and Xu Yan was sitting in the passenger seat. The scenery outside the window was rapidly receding. The two of them got up at seven. Xu Yan was feeling a little sleepy

at this moment. He had gone to bed late last night and got up too early today. When he was about to fall asleep, his cell phone rang suddenly. It was Cheng Xinlu calling. Cheng Xinlu knew that he was at Liang Yisheng's place and would not disturb him unless it was urgent. Xu Yan glanced at Liang Yisheng, who was concentrating on driving.

"It's my agent's call. I'll take it." Xu Yan said.

"Yeah." Liang Yisheng replied.

"Hey Xu Yan, did I disturb you?" Cheng Xinlu's voice was not loud and she did not sound anxious.

"No, what's wrong?"

Cheng Xinlu was silent for a while, then asked, "Are you ready to talk now?"

Xu Yan told the truth, "I'm in Liang Yisheng's car."

Cheng Xinlu was surprised, "Are you two going out? Is he on vacation today or did he come to accompany you?"

"I'm on vacation today, tell me what's going on." Xu Yan said.

"I found Liu Zhi." Cheng Xinlu said.

"It's not convenient to make this matter public and I can't ask for help, so I actually haven't had a good way to find him. I can only do it little by little with my limited ability. I learned from a friend before that he betrayed us because someone promised to let him enter a big company and guarantee that he would be a gold medal economist. I spent a long time looking for him based on this clue and found out that he was deceived. After taking advantage of him, the person dumped him and he returned to his hometown with nowhere to go."

"Xu Yan, Liu Zhi's father passed away last week from bone cancer."

Xu Yan rarely thinks about whether the world is fair or not. A person with congenital disabilities is born with one less ear that can hear sounds than "normal people". If someone asks him, do you think the world is fair? Xu Yan will most likely just smile and answer: Not necessarily, let's wait and see when we live to the end.

Cheng Xinlu sent a long audio clip, which was a recording of her phone call with Liu Zhitong in the morning.

"You finally answered the phone, why didn't you run away this time? I have been looking for you for a year, and you have changed your mobile phone number three times. Let's meet and explain what happened back then. Who asked you to do this, what was promised to you, and how did you do it. Liu Zhi, stop hiding, you will have to pay back what you owe Xu Yan sooner or later."

Then there was a long silence, with only the sound of rustling.

Liu Zhi didn't say anything for a long, long time. At the end, he laughed. That laugh was a chilling laugh, as if the person on the other end of the phone was no longer a living person: "You said I owe Xu Yan? What do you think I owe him? What do I owe him? A bright future? A million in film pay? He should thank me. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have known Liang Yisheng; if it weren't for me, Xu Yan wouldn't be where he is today?"

Cheng Xinlu also laughed, "Indeed, I should thank you. Thank you so much, Liu Zhi. I have been coaching young artists for half of my life, and it was you who made the last artist I coached in my career popular. But Xu Yan shouldn't thank you. What path he wants to take, who he wants to know, and whether he wants to be popular are all up to him to decide, not to be influenced by you."

"You are such a snide talker. Even now you are still so high-handed and blaming me, making me pay the price!! You all have a good life, hahaha, fuck, is that bullshit, you all live so well, and in the end you still blame me? I... I'm just a small artist assistant, and the kind of artist who is so obscure that no one recognizes me when I walk on the street! What the hell can I achieve in my life?! What money can I make?! If I don't help myself, will you help me? My dad owes a lot of medical bills, who will help me?"

"So you can frame Xu Yan? Liu Zhi, this world is fair. You did something wrong, and you will get the punishment you deserve."

"Fair?!" Liu Zhi's voice changed. "You're talking about fair? He knew Liang Yisheng, and Liang Yisheng let him play the leading actor with just one word, and he got a lot of salary. Is this fair? My father was lying in bed in so much pain that he vomited every time he drank a sip of water. He couldn't pay the medical bills, so the hospital carried him on a stretcher and threw him in the corridor. Is this fair?"

"Fairness" is a false proposition, Xu Yan thinks so.

Many "fairness" or "unfairness" are just someone's feelings at the moment, or can be more accurately translated as "satisfaction" or "dissatisfaction." When human factors can no longer influence the development of events, for example, Liu Zhi, who is desperate, can't raise enough money for his father's medical expenses no matter how hard he tries, and there is no way to rely on "human" ability. At this time, he can only complain about the law of nature and feel "unfair."

Liang Yisheng put on protective gear for Xu Yan, and the two were silent.

Boxing gloves wrap very tightly around the hands, and Xu Yan had no experience with this at all, so he let Liang Yisheng help him wrap the bandages, put on the protective gear, and put on the gloves.

The boxing gym is very private, and celebrities must come here often. Someone has already started practicing on the boxing ring not far away, and the sound of hitting the sandbag is very heavy, "bang", "bang", "bang". Xu Yan shook his head. After being wrapped in the helmet, his hearing was forced to decline a lot. Although there were hollow holes next to his ears, his breathing still seemed heavier in the dimness. He turned around and saw Liang Yisheng standing aside and looking at him.

Xu Yan raised his hand and pointed to his left ear: "I can't hear much."

Liang Yisheng pressed his hand down, moved closer and spoke to him: "You have to wear a helmet." Xu

Yan was not used to it, and kept tilting his head: "If I'm just hitting the sandbag, I don't need to wear it, right?"

"No." Liang Yisheng tightened his helmet again.

For Xu Yan, this feeling was like entering a box, with walls on all sides, isolated and helpless. Liang Yisheng had already stood behind him, and without Xu Yan knowing, he reached out to hold his waist and helped him adjust his posture.

"How do you feel?" Liang Yisheng asked.

Xu Yan could actually hear it, but he still turned his head subconsciously and habitually: "I don't know, I have never thought about whether this world is fair. Do you think this world is fair? Some people are born rich and glorious, but some people may die because they can't afford the medical expenses for a small disease."

Liang Yisheng laughed: "Are you talking about me, born rich and glorious."

"...I don't mean that." Xu Yan said. "

Relax, don't be nervous. Your waist is too tense, focus on your upper body, on the sandbag in front of you." Liang Yisheng patted Xu Yan's waist twice, but Xu Yan didn't relax at all, and was made even more tense by these two pats.

"I tried my best." Xu Yan said.

"Throw your punch quickly and hate it. Imagine whoever you hate. Don't pull your arm back, just punch it straight." Liang Yisheng lifted Xu Yan's arm and continued, "Some people live a healthy life and enjoy their old age, while some people are lying in the hospital suffering from illness before they are ten years old. If he wants to see it this way, people are born unfair, and it will never be fair no matter how hard they live. Punch!"

With a "bang", Xu Yan felt his right hand go numb in the glove, and his whole arm was shaken.

"Don't use the strength of your arm to push your fist, use your fist to lead your arm forward." Liang Yisheng said, "So cruel, who did you imagine it to be?"

Xu Yan was a little embarrassed: "No, I don't have anyone I hate."

Liang Yishen adjusted Xu Yan's posture again and patted his waist again. This time Xu Yan was much more relaxed than last time. Listening to Liang Yisheng's deep voice saying in his ear: "I used to wonder whether I liked you or not."

Xu Yan was put in a very standard posture. Liang Yisheng held his arm and helped him fix his elbow at a point. His voice was slow: "People always like to talk about fairness. Do you think there is fairness in liking someone? From the beginning you were my 'thing', and it seemed natural for me to possess you afterwards. Later I found that 'unfairness' is attractive. It drives you to fight and monopolize."

"'Unfairness' is natural. It doesn't teach people to accept their fate, but to fight for their lives. Xu Yan, your assistant has accepted his fate, so he will never live the 'fair' life he wants."

"Punch." Liang Yisheng said again.

After fighting for less than an hour, Xu Yan was sweating all over. He felt refreshed immediately after taking off his helmet, and felt that the view in front of him was open. The coach was probably a friend of Liang Yisheng. He was instructing a girl on the stage next to him. The girl was now free to move around. He saw Xu Yan took off his helmet and greeted Liang Yisheng by leaning on the edge of the stage.

"Don't fight?"

Liang Yisheng took Xu Yan's helmet, hung it on the pillar next to him, and shook his head: "Forget it, I'm still in the crew, and I don't have the energy to go back to film in the afternoon."

"Mr. Liang, you still don't have the energy? You occupied the stage for three hours without even a sip of water. The cleaning lady was stunned and pulled me to persuade you. Don't faint in the boxing gym later. We will be responsible." The coach teased him.

Liang Yisheng laughed and was still helping Xu Yan take off his protective gear. He whispered in his ear: "Don't listen to him, it's nonsense."

The coach stared at Xu Yan. As an artist, Xu Yan was used to being stared at. He smiled generously: "Hello."

"Hello, Mr. Xu, right? I'm the coach here. Come and play often in the future. Liang Yisheng comes here often, let him take you with him."

Xu Yan nodded and replied politely: "Okay."

Liang Yisheng had a play in the afternoon, so he had to go back after playing all morning. Xu Yan's phone kept ringing in the car. Xiao Yuan in the group sent him several voice messages. He looked for headphones to listen to. Liang Yisheng saw him as soon as he took out the headphone box.

"What for?"

"Nothing... just listening to a voice message, it will only take a while." Xu Yan said.

"Is it inconvenient to listen to it?" Liang Yisheng put his arm on the steering wheel and said in a righteous tone.

...

Xu Yan didn't know whether it was convenient or not. Xiao Yuan sent several long voice messages in a row. He should have known about Liu Zhi's affairs and was expressing his opinions or cursing passionately. However, it is not ruled out that Cheng Xinlu knew that Xu Yan went out with Liang Yisheng today, so the number one CP fan said some weird things excitedly.

Xu Yan paused for a while and didn't say anything. Liang Yisheng raised his eyebrows, "Who?"

"...Xiao Yuan."

"Say bad things about me?" he asked.

"No." Xu Yan said quickly, and for Xiao Yuan's innocence, he still turned on the voice.

"Fuck! What kind of person is this? Why would he want to frame Teacher Xu when he is not happy with his own life? This is the kind of terrorist who seeks revenge on society! It's not that Teacher Xu caused his father to have bone cancer. He is just a bad person. Don't make so many excuses. What is fair or unfair!! It's not that poor people will die because they have no money to treat the disease. Why doesn't he think about his own reasons? He is so filial. Why didn't he buy insurance for his father before? Or go to Shuidi to raise funds. My second uncle's old classmate also got a serious disease and raised a lot of money from Shuidi! If it really doesn't work, borrow money from relatives or even take out a loan!"

"When something happens, you complain that the world is unfair. The world is unfair to begin with. What's the point of blaming others? He did this because he didn't have to bear the debt or risk his reputation to raise money or borrow money by framing Teacher Xu. He didn't have to work hard to get a lot of money. He thinks he

is so noble! It makes me so angry!" "I'm sorry, Teacher Xu. I'm just too angry. You don't have to click to listen. The date with the boss is more important. I heard that you went out on a date today? Did you make progress smoothly? Did you kiss? Did you slept together..."

... Everything was normal before. Xu Yan was relieved and thought Xiao Yuan would not say anything weird. He didn't expect her to say this at the end. He hurriedly pressed the lock screen. Xiao Yuan's voice stopped abruptly. Xu Yan almost threw the phone away.

The green light time had arrived long ago. Liang Yisheng looked straight ahead with a smile on his face. He said with a smile, "Why don't you listen? What about sleeping together in the back?"

Xu Yan cleared his throat, turned his head to look at the green belt "whooshing" backwards outside the window, and said in a steady voice, "No, it's not important. I'll go back and listen."

"She's right." Liang Yisheng stopped smiling. "How are you going to deal with Liu Zhi's matter?"

Xu Yan sat up straight and looked at Liang Yisheng, "What do you think? After all, this matter... Although Liu Zhi is my assistant, the person who instructed him is you. Do you need your agent to check the information with my agent, and then continue to find out who was the one who instructed him?"

"No need. This matter ends here. In addition..."

Xu Yan nodded, waiting for him to continue.

"When can you change the honorific? You keep calling me 'you'. It's too much. Can you change it after we slept together, Mr. Xu?" Liang Yisheng asked.
