"Ye Zi?" Xie Yan's weak voice came from outside the door. Cheng Ye hurriedly jumped out of bed and jumped open the door. Seeing Xie Yan outside, his face pale and still in poor health, he smiled brightly, "Brother Xie, you're back?"
Although Xie Yan was wearing neat and tight clothes, it could be seen from his exposed face and wrists that his injuries had not yet healed. His skin was a little dark and yellow, his cheeks were thin, and there were a few scars on his forehead. He had completely lost the spirited look he had when they first met.
When Xie Yan saw Cheng Ye, he also smiled, but it seemed a bit difficult to pull the wound. He walked in slowly, looking at the ground carefully, bent down with difficulty and piled three large plastic bags on the table. He raised his hand to rub Cheng Ye's head, but Cheng Ye avoided him.
His expression froze for a moment, and Xie Yan realized he had just dreamed. He immediately regained the sunny smile he had when they first met, but it was just a pretense. The real smile on his face was a little stiff, and his voice lacked confidence, sounding a little timid: "Go wash your hands and eat."
"Okay." That day at the hospital, Cheng Ye was originally going to run away with Qi Kai's assistance, but was intercepted halfway by Xiao Chubai who somehow learned that the hospital's defenses were lax.
Qi Kai wanted to drag Jinyuan's people along, so he didn't know at the first time that Cheng Ye was "kidnapped" from the hospital by Xiao Chubai, so Xiao Chubai's action was very successful, and he stole the "emperor" from the "palace" without alarming anyone.
In fact, Cheng Ye helped Xiao Chubai kidnap himself, and "accidentally" met Xie Yan on the way, giving Xie Yan a chance to help rescue himself.
666: "..." Xie Yan is such a pitiful kid. He finally escaped from Jin Yuan, but was kicked back to hell by Cheng Ye.
Cheng Ye: "...If you want to complete the mission, then shut up! He didn't even look at how he treated the original owner in his previous life. In this life, he still wants to force me to do it. He never thought about what a terrifying person like Jin Yuan would do to me if he really succeeded. He would be considered light if he doesn't clean me out and peel off a layer of skin..."
666 tilted his head and thought about it for a long time, and it was indeed true.
Xie Yan was only concerned with the mission, completely unconcerned about Cheng Ye's life or death. He deserved to be schemed against by Cheng Ye. It was just unknown whether he was helping Cheng Ye now to gain an opportunity to improve his favorability and bring Cheng Ye back to the Lin family to get information about Jin Yuan, or whether... he had real feelings for her?
Cheng Ye rolled his eyes: "...your true feelings are so cheap!"
666 I feel wronged, but I really like you, Daye. This feeling is truer than real gold!
As soon as Xie Yan saw Cheng Ye, his face was filled with surprise and joy. He immediately helped to subdue Xiao Chubai and rescue Cheng Ye.
However, Cheng Ye had been traveling all the way and had been tortured by Xiao Chubai for a while, and he had not eaten anything at all. Now that he was safe and relaxed, he was really feeling very hungry. Cheng Ye felt that he could eat the entire earth.
This was the first time Xie Yan saw him smile so sincerely since they met.
It looks just as good as I imagined.
Cheng Ye said, that must be~
White lotus halo, blgblg blinds your dog eyes~
The bandages on Cheng Ye's body had been almost removed during the fight. The doctor was just exaggerating and didn't wrap it up again, but he was injured after all, and the exposed skin was blue and purple and covered with bruises.
Xie Yan's eyes darkened.
As soon as they sat down, they felt even hungrier. Cheng Ye picked up his chopsticks and began to eat voraciously. Xie Yan only picked up a piece of sizzling eggplant with his chopsticks, and before he put it in his mouth, he asked tentatively, "What happened to your injuries?"
Cheng Ye, with food in his mouth, mumbled, "Nothing, just jumping off a building."
Xie Yan was drinking water and nearly choked to death. He patted his chest and said in shock, "What did you say? Jumping off a building?!"
Cheng Ye turned around and looked at Xiao Chubai with resentment. Xiao Chubai also hadn't eaten for a long time and had been angry many times in a row. At this moment, he hung his head and looked like he might faint at any time.
Cheng Ye wasn't worried about his life, though. After all, Xiao Chubai had simply been enjoying himself all day, and his body wasn't adapting to the sudden hardship. He was a tough guy, after all, the original White Lotus from the original material, the one who had endured countless hardships before achieving enlightenment. But even if Cheng Ye were to torture him now, he wouldn't achieve perfection!
Cheng Ye pouted: "It's all because of him, Brother Xie. We won't give him any food later. Let him starve. Otherwise, I won't be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart!"
Xie Yan was worried. He put down his water cup and asked anxiously, "Why did you jump off the building? Are you hurt? Where are you hurt? Is it serious?" He almost started to pull off his clothes. He seemed to be thinking of the unpleasantness last time and looked a little embarrassed.
Cheng Ye ate his food and said, "It's okay. It's just multiple soft tissue contusions and a few fractures. But I'm used to it. It's not serious and I can run and jump."
666: "... Ye Zi, even though you didn't study medicine, you shouldn't talk nonsense. You're so serious and yet you're still so alive and kicking. Aren't you worried about being sent to the hospital for an autopsy?"
Cheng Ye carefully glanced at Xie Yan, and found no other expression except worry, so he relaxed a little.
Xie Yan didn't notice anything was wrong with Cheng Ye at all. He even wanted to stand up to check his injuries, but he finally held back: "What does it have to do with him? Did he force you to jump off the building?"
Cheng Ye showed a helpless expression and said, "Don't you know yet?" He raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Yan, "Why are you approaching me?"
Xie Yan suddenly lowered his head, his expression somewhat sad and guilty.
Cheng Ye was just angry just now. Seeing him embarrassed, he felt bored too. He twisted his butt on the stool, put down his chopsticks and looked at Xie Yan politely: "I'm sorry, I know you have parted ways with him, but you know, because of him, there have been many misunderstandings between Jin Yuan and me. I obviously like Jin Yuan very much, but now-"
Cheng Ye leaned back in his chair dejectedly and shrugged: "Jin Yuan and I are almost breaking up."
As he spoke, the ahoge on his head swayed back and forth, which was a bit disturbing.
Xie Yan's pupils dilated slightly, and he suddenly said, "Ye Zi, I—"
Before Xie Yan's butt left the stool, Cheng Ye interrupted him: "Brother Xie, I know how good you are to me, but it was Jin Yuan who rescued me from the dire situation I was in. I hadn't even met you when I fell in love with him. You are very good, but sometimes love also has a first come first served basis. I am really sorry."
Cheng Ye slowly stood up, stood beside the table and bowed deeply.
Xie Yan's lips curved into a bitter arc. He was silent for a while and said, "I know, I know."
Just when Cheng Ye was scratching his head and wanted to say something, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from downstairs.
They were in a run-down hotel, and even if they tried to be quiet, the wooden floor still creaked like a nightingale. The soundproofing was also very poor, so if someone went upstairs, the whole floor would know.
Cheng Ye slowly narrowed his eyes, listened attentively for a while, and suddenly his expression changed slightly: "Oh no, it's Jin Yuan who's here, Brother Xie, you should leave quickly."
After Xie Yan had experienced Jin Yuan's methods, he was a little panicked for a moment: "What about you?"
Cheng Ye suddenly smiled: "Brother Xie, have you forgotten my relationship with Jin Yuan? I said I was about to break up with him, but that was just my one-sided request. Jin Yuan never agreed, and I don't think he would agree either. He must have been the one who asked for it. Don't worry, I was brought out by Xiao Chubai this time. Jin Yuan...he doesn't want to hurt me, so there's no need for me to hide from him."
Xie Yan felt a dull pain in his chest. If only he had met this person earlier, if their first meeting hadn't been filled with calculations and conspiracies, then—
He spoke slowly, his voice hoarse and deep: "I understand." He knew that Cheng Ye really liked Jin Yuan, that there would never be a chance for them, and that... he had already lost the initiative and even the trust in him...
As the footsteps got closer, Cheng Ye hurriedly stuffed the phone on the table into Xie Yan's arms and pushed him to the small window of the bathroom. "Go quickly, I'll do my best to buy you some time, Brother Xie. There are no good people in the Lin family, including Lin Ru. Lin Ru is not worthy of being a mother. She knew that I had suffered a lot in the Cheng family but remained indifferent. I was almost killed in the fight with Jin Yuan some time ago. Brother Xie, run away and live your own life."
He lowered his head slightly after he finished speaking, not wanting him to see the reluctance in his eyes. "I didn't bring my phone with me from the hospital. This is Xiao Chubai's. Maybe I can find something to exchange for some money. It's hard to survive outside without something to rely on."
Xie Yan really only had the intention of using the original owner. The original owner was eager to escape from the precarious life of drifting around in the wind and rain, so she placed all her hopes on this man as if she was grasping at the last straw.
But what did this man do? After the transaction with Xiao Chubai in the evening, he completely forgot about Cheng Ye.
He was a bright pearl on Cheng Ye's dark and thorny path, but this pearl pointed him in the wrong direction, and even - illuminated his location so that the monster could devour him.
Cheng Ye looked at Xie Yan, who had a lame leg and was looking at him with deep affection, and held his hands and placed them on his chest: "Brother Xie, you will definitely find someone better than me and more suitable for you." Then let me become your white moonlight, deeply rooted in your heart, and you will not be able to forget me even in your dreams at midnight.
Your crime doesn't deserve death, but you'll never be freed from your chains and live happily in the castle with the princess. I hope the names Cheng and Ye become a shadow over you, and no matter who mentions them, it'll be like a sharp knife stabbing into your heart, leaving you with eternal restlessness!
After Cheng Ye finished speaking or perhaps cursed in his heart, he turned and left, locking the bathroom door from the outside with a snap.
Turning around, he saw Xiao Chubai staring at him with frog-like eyes. Cheng Ye tilted his head, squinted his eyes, and thought for a long time before saying, "Tsk, I was so focused on acting that I almost forgot about you."
Xiao Chubai's face was ferocious, but he had already faced the reality and didn't want to waste his energy. He just glared at him with hatred!
"But!" Cheng Ye laughed foolishly, "Let's make a bet. No matter what I say, no matter what you say, Jin Yuan will only believe me!" He leaned over, looking down at Xiao Chubai, and hooked his toes on his calf. "Even if he knows I'm talking nonsense, he has to believe it. He loves me, so he can only believe me!"
"He's afraid that if he says anything wrong, I'll die immediately."
"Xiao Chubai, the person you treat with such care, the one you secretly love, is even more devoted to me than you are. See? This is the gap between you and me~"
"He treated you like a piece of trash, but treated me like a treasure. Xiao Chubai, I truly sympathize with you and feel sorry for you. For so many years, you've loved a man who treated you like a fool. In the middle of the night, when you dreamed of him whispering sweet nothings to you, and you were so affectionate with me, did you ever consider that he was actually in my bed, whispering sweet nothings to me, and willing to do anything despicable to please me?"
"Tsk tsk tsk." Cheng Ye looked at him with contempt, as if he was looking at dirt or dust, despising him and ignoring him at the same time.
His eyes were complicated, and Xiao Chubai felt a mouthful of blood rushing to his heart, and his throat suddenly felt fishy and sweet.
Xiao Chubai suddenly pushed forward, and the chair and himself fell on Cheng Ye. Almost at the same time, a group of men in black rushed in. Cheng Ye lay on the ground, rolling his eyes upwards, trying to see clearly who came in.
"Ye Zi!" Jin Yuan's heart almost stopped when he walked in. He kicked Xiao Chubai away and hurriedly picked up Cheng Ye, looking through his wrinkled clothes: "Are you hurt? Where are you hurt? Does it hurt? Let me take a look."
"Jin Yuan!" Cheng Ye looked at Jin Yuan in disbelief. He looked like a heavenly soldier descending from the sky. He reached out and touched Jin Yuan's face. His fingertips were cold. His eyes were slightly red and filled with tears. He hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and wiped his eyes vigorously. "You have lost weight."
After he finished speaking, he met Jin Yuan's worried gaze and quickly added, "I'm fine, I've tied him up, I, I'm really fine." Cheng Ye subtly blocked Jin Yuan's hand that had already reached into his clothes, and pointed at Xiao Chubai, who was kicked to the side but still sitting on the chair with his head on the ground, "Look at him quickly, we just had an argument, he was struggling so hard, I'm afraid, I'm afraid he's hurt..."
He looked helpless, as if he didn't want to tie him up, but if he didn't, he wouldn't be able to subdue him.
"It's okay, I'm glad you're okay." He didn't want to care about Xiao Chubai at all, but his little Ye Zi was probably scared to death because it was the first time he hurt someone. Jin Yuan waved his hand and asked his men to check. He picked up Cheng Ye and staggered out, "Go to the hospital, I'll take you to the hospital."
Xiao Ye Zi was taken away from the hospital. He was already covered in wounds, and now he had been kidnapped by Xiao Chubai for such a long time.
Jin Yuan felt scared when he thought about it.
After Xiao Chubai was untied, he immediately took off the tape on his mouth, and his roar echoed in the narrow room: "Cheng Ye, you bitch, Jin Yuan, you were deceived by him, and you will be killed by him sooner or later, Cheng Ye, you!"
"Shut my mouth!" Jin Yuan said coldly. The tape was useless. The bodyguard looked around and tore off a large piece of the bed sheet that had not been changed for who knows how long. He stuffed it into Xiao Chubai's mouth, causing it to crack slightly and even faint traces of blood to be seen.
Jin Yuan didn't even glance at the embarrassed Xiao Chubai behind him, and walked out of the hotel with Cheng Ye in his arms.
Cheng Ye clutched Jin Yuan's sleeve tightly, his face covered with tears. He buried his head deeply in Jin Yuan's arms: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have lost my temper with you. I should have understood you, Jin Yuan. Blame me. How can you not blame me? I have caused such a big trouble with you." Although he didn't know what the trouble was, after all, as a white lotus, he just made a mess and then beat the wife to death on the beach.
"Ye Zi, Ye Zi--" Jin Yuan murmured Cheng Ye's name. Suddenly, he was a little afraid to look into Cheng Ye's eyes. He could only turn his face away to prevent him from seeing the guilt in his eyes.
I'm so sorry. It's my selfishness that has made you like this, but I still don't want to correct my mistakes.
Cheng Ye was taken back to the hospital. After the doctor examined him and found no injuries other than fatigue, Jin Yuan was still very worried and even stayed by his side, taking care of him personally.
After Cheng Ye had a good sleep, he woke up to see Jin Yuan's silent face. When he met his gaze, Jin Yuan immediately grabbed his hand and asked cautiously, "What's wrong? Where does it hurt?"
Cheng Ye shook his head, said nothing, and just looked at him straight.
