Pan Yang appeared at the door carrying a cake, and looked at the dark room with some confusion before turning on the light.
"Our family went bankrupt?" Otherwise, why wouldn't the lights be on?
Hearing the sound, Xu Zhouyang stood up from the sofa: "No, I forgot to turn on the light. What's that in your hand?"
Pan Yang placed the cake on the table, somewhat impatiently: "Cake, isn't today your birthday?"
Seriously, can't this cake shop be a little more reliable? They made this guy wait for two whole hours! A full two hours!
"My birthday?" Xu Zhouyang checked the date on his phone. Today was indeed his birthday. He had been too busy with work before, so birthdays were not a big deal for him.
"Thanks."
Pan Yang tossed his schoolbag onto the sofa and sat down at the dining table: "Have you been waiting for me for a long time?"
"It hasn't been long, I'll heat the food up since it's gotten cold," Xu Zhouyang said, picking up the plate and heading to the kitchen.
Pan Yang sat quietly to the side and waited for him. The hot dishes were heated up quickly and the two sat down at the table.
To be honest, Xu Zhouyang found this meal rather agonizing. Huan Yang barely looked at him, as if he no longer liked him, but at school he didn't seem indifferent.
In the end, Xu Zhouyang still chose to speak: "Pan Yang, I'll take what you said before as a joke..."
Before he could finish speaking, Pan Yang interrupted, "What did you say?"
Xu Zhouyang looked at him. His expression was serious, as if he had really forgotten. He opened his mouth and finally found his voice: "You said you liked me before."
"So you think I'm joking?" Pan Yang looked at him, his eyes clearly showing displeasure.
Oh my god! Someone as aloof and handsome as me would joke about something like this. For a big shot like me to say "I like you" for the first time is taken as a joke!
001: "..." I really don't know if the host is shocked or narcissistic.
“Pan Yang, you’re still young, you shouldn’t be like this now…”
Pan Yang suddenly stood up, and Xu Zhouyang was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses.
"Pan Yang! It's time for you to mature. You're eighteen now." Xu Zhouyang tried his best to make his voice sound serious.
“I am your adoptive father. No matter what, in my eyes you are just my child. You will grow up and start your own family in the future, and I don’t want you to regret it.”
"Your current idea is just a passing fancy. Listen to me, Huan Yang. I'm doing this for your own good."
"Heh." Pan Yang suddenly chuckled softly, his dark eyes looking at him calmly, revealing no other emotions, neither anger nor sadness.
Xu Zhouyang felt inexplicably panicked; he even felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
"Okay." Finally, Pan Yang broke the silence.
"What?"
"I'll listen to you and won't bother you." Without hesitation, Fan Yang turned and went upstairs.
Even big shots have pride! Zhou Yang, you're awesome!
Xu Zhouyang breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the stairwell, he felt as if a stone was pressing on his chest, as if he was about to lose something.
It has to be said that Xu Zhouyang's words were very effective; Fan Yang did not ask him anything, as if nothing had happened.
However, rumors began circulating at the school that the top student in the senior year, Fan Yang, had ulterior motives and was in love with his father, causing a great stir throughout the school.
Pan Yang felt that wherever he went, people would stare at him, look him up and down, and then shake their heads and sigh.
Overall, I'm speechless!
In the classroom, Wang Yuan saw Pan Yang sitting in a chair and quickly ran over: "Classmate, do you really like your father?"
“No,” Lin Xuan spoke first, before Pan Yang could finish. “Pan Yang doesn’t like his father. Pan Yang actually…”
Wang Yuan's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this: "Actually what?"
"Actually, Pan Yang likes me, but someone misheard and spread the wrong information."
Not only Wang Yun was shocked, but Pan Yang was also shocked. This young man is amazing. I didn't even know I liked you.
After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he pulled Pan Yang out of the classroom, looking apologetic: "I'm sorry, that's all I can say. I only said that because I wanted to help you. I hope you're not angry."
"No, I'm angry." Yeah, that's how petty I am.
Lin Xuan panicked slightly upon hearing this: "Pan Yang, I'm sorry, I just... I just..."
He paused, his eyes filled with sadness and helplessness as he looked at Fan Yang.
Then, as if he had given up all hope, he took a deep breath and said, "Pan Yang, I just like you. I've liked you for a long time, ever since the first year of high school."
"Is this your reason for spreading rumors?" Pan Yang looked at him and continued, "My biological father is a penniless man. I was just adopted out of pity. I fell in love with my adoptive father."
"Didn't you spread all of these?" Pan Yang looked at him, his tone indifferent.
Lin Xuan panicked for a moment but quickly calmed down: "Pan Yang, you're really confused. How could I hurt you like this if I like you?"
"Tsk, stop pretending." Pan Yang took a step back and looked at him quietly, saying each word clearly, "Don't worry, I will never like you in this lifetime, and I will even forget your name in the future."
"Pan Yang!" Lin Xuan was startled when he heard this and hurriedly tried to grab Pan Yang's hand, but Pan Yang dodged it.
Then, Pan Yang sat awkwardly in the chair. There were very few items in the room. His wrist was tied with an iron chain that extended to the table leg.
001: "Host, tell me if you're acting against me!"
"Who knew this guy would go crazy!" How can you blame the big boss? Even big bosses make mistakes sometimes.
"Host, where's your sword?! Fight your way out!"
"Oh, it upgraded itself, so it's unusable."
"..." I now have reason to suspect that the host did this on purpose.
The door opened, and Lin Xuan came in carrying food, placing it on the table: "I've already asked the teacher for leave, and told Uncle Xu that you were unhappy so you took leave to go abroad, so no one knows you're here with me."
"Aren't you human?" Pan Yang rolled his eyes.
"What?" Lin Xuan's expression froze on his face, but he quickly composed himself: "Pan Yang, will you be with me? I really like you."
"Like you my ass." Pan Yang tugged hard on the iron chain, making a rattling sound.
“Pan Yang, we’re the same kind of people, you should like me.” Lin Xuan’s tone was somewhat excited.
"It's true that you love your father, isn't it? You see, you and I aren't normal people either, so we're the perfect match."
Pan Yang took a step back with the chair, thinking that he couldn't stay with idiots or he would easily catch their ailments.
“Let’s make a bet,” Pan Yang suddenly said, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
"What bet?" Lin Xuan suddenly calmed down and stared intently at Pan Yang.
“Call Xu Zhouyang. You can say anything. Let’s see if he comes looking for me.” As he said this, a slight smile appeared on Pan Yang’s lips.
001 had a bad feeling. It seemed that the host only laughed when he was angry or excited and crazy. In any case, the host's laughter was definitely not a good thing. I knew the host was doing it on purpose!
