Author's Note: This is a happy ending (HE) side story for Yan Yunzhou. Please proceed with caution if you mind.
Don't go.
These were the two words that Yan Yunzhou repeatedly uttered on the night Jiang Fei disappeared, but ultimately swallowed.
Knowing that pleading would be futile, and knowing that she wouldn't stay for anyone, it made no difference to her whether I said anything or not.
She was like a gentle breeze, brushing past, stirring the heartstrings, and then departing silently.
And he...
Yan Yunzhou had known this since he was a child.
A person like him has no right to be resentful.
He couldn't understand why the couple, knowing full well that the disease had a very high probability of being inherited, would still have him. Was it so that he could become the fruit of their short-lived and pitiful love?
That's ridiculous.
Therefore, from the moment he learned of his illness, he had already made up his mind to completely eradicate the disease himself.
He will not have a wife, let alone children.
However, it would be very boring for a person to live only to wait for death.
Therefore, he would really enjoy the little ripples that occur on the way to death.
His hands were not clean.
The shareholder who was kicked out of the Yan family stood on the roof and threatened to jump off. He then bought the best burial plot.
When threatened with underhanded tactics, he can calmly send people to kidnap that person's relatives and friends.
It's often said that the business world is a place where people kill without shedding blood, but that's not true; blood is shed.
But he hated blood.
Ye Qingqing's pursuit was somewhat unexpected.
However, he couldn't give her the kind of love she wanted.
As for what he wanted, Ye Qingqing never knew.
Then, Jiang Fei appeared.
The first time I knew her, she was Qin Mo's fiancée. Her face was seven or eight parts similar to Ye Qingqing's; she was a stand-in.
That's all.
An explosion occurred on the film set, and Jiang Fei was trapped in the fire. He happened to be nearby.
The fire was out of control, and the surrounding area consisted of wooden houses.
He watched the flames billowing, a life inside, and genuinely just found it amusing.
If you can't control your own destiny, controlling the destiny of others isn't so bad.
So he ordered all the surrounding houses to be destroyed to cut off the possibility of the fire spreading, put out the fire, and then rescued her.
Afterwards, he was countless times glad he had made that decision.
They met again a few months later on the rooftop of the circular building. From there, they could see the woman below, her eyes filled with tears, gazing at Qin Mo and expressing her love. However, after Qin Mo turned and left, her expression instantly calmed down, tinged with a hint of mockery.
That's very interesting.
So he said, "Miss Jiang, it's been a long time."
He thought she would panic, but to his surprise, she didn't even bother to pretend anymore and just smiled and asked him to keep it a secret.
She said, "You're missing a woman here."
"A woman who doesn't love you, but will stay with you."
These words haunted him like a nightmare in the days that followed.
At first, all I wanted was companionship, but later, I started to constantly mind that "not being loved".
The first time she felt something was off was when she asked him to introduce her to Lin Tao.
Her movie role was replaced, which was really just a matter of him saying a word. She thought of coming to find him, but she just sat in front of him with a smile and said, "I want to get to know Mr. Lin."
Lin Tao, who also came from the bloody world of the maritime industry, speaks bluntly and is definitely not a pushover.
However, since she wanted to get to know him, he didn't need to stop her. After all, she and he had no connection whatsoever.
When she hits a wall, she'll naturally know who can help her the most.
However, she successfully regained the role, and from then on, Lin Tao always spoke of her with great respect.
Jiang Fei always seemed to shatter his perceptions, as if injecting a bit of vitality into his boring life.
I suddenly wanted to try something different in the final stage of my life.
She asked, "Mr. Yan, this doesn't count as dating, does it?"
He replied, "Miss Jiang is still so narcissistic."
The relationship was established just that easily.
She never shied away from talking about his death, and would even ask him with great interest, "How much longer can you live?" and discuss how "it's a miracle that he's still alive."
Those who are bold have no scruples.
But it also makes people feel very relaxed.
Everyone around him avoided talking about his illness. In his presence, even the word "death" had to be carefully considered before being uttered. The more people avoided it, the more disgusted they became.
He began to look forward to spending time with her more and more.
Even though he didn't care when he learned that she was going to film a kissing scene, he still went to the hotel where the film crew was staying and looked at her, saying, "Ms. Jiang, shouldn't you give me some compensation?"
He said this jokingly.
But when I said it, I became a little more serious.
She kissed him.
My cold heart stirred slightly.
Later at the banquet, when he saw Qin Mo pressing her against the wall in an ambiguous manner and felt a surge of anger; when he confessed to her that he only had six months left to live; when Assistant Wang exposed that he was "in a good mood with Jiang Fei by his side," he suddenly realized that something was starting to go wrong.
He is not qualified to have this feeling.
So he took the initiative to tell her that he knew many talented young men and could introduce them to her.
So, he drafted a new will, but then didn't contact her for a long time and stopped seeing her.
She was even more heartless and never took the initiative to contact him.
In the end, he lost.
Under the guise of introducing her to a tech upstart, he went to the hotel downstairs, hoping to meet her. Instead, he saw Yan Wang enter the hotel and go to her room.
Yan Wang, his half-brother.
Compared to him, Yan Wang has a healthy body.
He didn't even have the right or the standing to go upstairs and stop them.
He had overestimated himself. After having had companionship, when he stood alone on the top floor overlooking the city again, the thought of Jiang Fei possibly leaning in someone else's arms, embracing, kissing, or even making love to him made his heart clench uncontrollably.
He then realized that he had fallen ill.
There was no surprise, no fear, and even a hint of smugness when she saw Jiang Fei abandon another man and come to the hospital.
He gave her a will, which would ensure she would live a comfortable and worry-free life for the rest of her days.
No need to restrain yourself anymore, just quietly tell her: Luckily, it's just a crush.
He thought he was doomed this time, but Jiang Fei once again shattered his expectations.
She saved him.
She could solve an incurable disease with a simple gesture.
Now that I'm better, there are some things and some people I still want to fight for.
I used to find it amusing to watch her and Qin Mo act out their affectionate scenes, but now it feels jarring and heartbreaking, even if it's fake, I can't bear it.
Seeing Yan Wang flaunting that Jiang Fei chose him just because of his face, he felt even more urge to cut Yan Wang's face off.
But she said, "There are some things I have to do, and you can't stop me."
At the wrap party, she abandoned him and went to find Qin Mo.
When Yan Wang was in danger, she went to save him without looking back.
Even when he was targeting Qin Mo, forcing Qin Mo's company to suffer setbacks, she still chose to help Qin Mo.
He told her, "I won't bring you back every time you leave."
But when she actually left, he stood in the rain once again, waiting for her to come out of the apartment.
Because the person I can't live without is him.
He was afraid that she really wouldn't want him anymore.
This love, which came too late, ultimately shattered all his pride. He stood before her, exhausted, only wanting her to pay a little more attention to him.
Just a little bit is enough.
She took out the document and told him that she had not helped Qin Mo.
In that instant, I felt not only ecstatic but also relieved.
That's fine, as long as she's by his side.
In the years that followed, he watched her film one movie after another, win one award after another, and become loved by more and more people, before announcing her retirement from acting at the peak of her career.
At the press conference for "The Wilderness," she responded to her retirement from acting with confidence, saying, "I don't want to act anymore, I'm fed up."
She's always so fickle.
I already knew that.
But he became more and more entangled.
That night, as she nestled tenderly in his arms and said, "It's such a waste for her to enjoy such a beautiful night view all by herself," he knew she was about to leave.
She eventually grew tired of him too.
She even taught him how to pursue girls.
Actually, there won't be anyone else.
She saved his heart, but from the moment she rescued it, it no longer belonged to him.
...
At the celebration banquet for "The Wilderness", Yan Yunzhou drank quite a lot of wine.
He rarely drinks heavily, but tonight he felt inexplicably uneasy.
When Lin Tao offered to introduce him to someone, he refused without hesitation.
At that moment, a person in front of him said quietly, "I'm being narcissistic again."
His lazy tone was like a gentle breeze, stirring his heartstrings. Yet he dared not look up for a long time, fearing it would be like what he had seen in countless hallucinations before.
The man sat down opposite him and said, "Is something missing here?"
A playful tone, familiar words.
Yan Yunzhou looked up at the woman in the black evening dress, with her snow-white skin, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and a faint scar on her left cheek.
"Yes," he replied.
Jiang Fei frowned: "At this time, shouldn't you be asking 'What's missing?'"
“I’m missing you,” Yan Yunzhou walked up to her and gazed at her intently. “I’m only missing you.”
He lowered his head and kissed the lips of the person in front of him forcefully.
Her lips trembled. What began as a kiss filled with anger and loss of composure gradually transformed into a cautious, pleading one...
The surroundings were deathly silent.
Finally, Jiang Fei chuckled lightly: "Mr. Yan, when did you become so reckless?"
Everyone at the celebration banquet was watching the two of them.
Yan Yunzhou didn't speak, his lips smeared with lipstick, his breathing slightly rapid, which contrasted with his pale cheeks and the beauty mark under his eye, making him look like a demon.
The next second, he carried the woman in his arms, walked through the astonished crowd, and headed out of the banquet hall.
Once in the car, he instructed the driver, "Go home."
Jiang Fei said, "I'm not going back to the villa."
Yan Yunzhou looked at her, his lipstick tinged with a suggestive ambiguity: "Let's go to the hotel."
It's still the same familiar top floor, the same familiar night view, the same familiar rest area.
The moment the door to the break room closed, Yan Yunzhou pinned the woman against it and kissed her fiercely once more.
From the temples to the eyelids, cheeks, the tip of the nose, and then the lips.
He gently touched her skin, pulled down the zipper on one side of her dress, and held her delicate waist tightly, wishing he could melt into her arms.
The top floor was dark, except for the starlight shining through the glass roof.
A soft chuckle escaped Jiang Fei's throat as she reached out and wrapped her arms around Yan Yunzhou's neck, gently biting his lip.
Yan Yunzhou's breath hitched, and the next second he picked her up and placed her on the sofa, their breaths mingling.
The room was filled with ambiguity.
That night, Yan Yunzhou lost his composure.
When I woke up again, it was already daylight.
Jiang Fei leaned lazily against the person behind her, glanced at her brand-new pajamas, and shifted her body.
An arm immediately tightened around her waist from behind, and soft breaths sprayed into her ear: "Miss Jiang, it's been a long time."
Jiang Fei chuckled softly, her voice still hoarse from just waking up: "It's only been a day."
Yan Yunzhou remained silent, but his grip on her tightened even more.
Jiang Fei lowered her eyes and remained silent for a while before asking, "Aren't you going to ask me why I disappeared and then came back?"
Yan Yunzhou helped her sit up, saying, "Because of me."
After living like a zombie for over a year, he learned to give himself some hope.
Even if you know it's fake, it doesn't matter.
Jiang Fei chuckled softly, saying nothing more.
...
Jiang Fei said she lost interest in acting, and she really hasn't taken on another role since.
He gave up his acting career cleanly and decisively.
She really liked her cameo role in "The Wilderness" and used the stills from the show as her phone wallpaper. Every time she saw them, she would sigh deeply.
Sometimes Yan Yunzhou wondered if he was the only option for her to turn back.
But every time she finished thinking like this, and then glanced at Jiang Fei again, she would look at her own goddess still from the drama, sigh softly, and mutter to herself, "Is it fixed yet? Why has it been malfunctioning for so long?"
He couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. Whether it was true or not, at least she turned around.
He began to let go of the Yan family's affairs and spent more time at home with Jiang Fei. He even started to feel anxious and insecure, only feeling at ease when he was by her side.
Jiang Fei enjoys drinking fine wine and appreciating beautiful scenery.
He then went to find her famous wines and took her to see all kinds of beautiful scenery around the world.
No marriage needed, no children, just the two of them.
But recently, Jiang Fei's interests seem to have changed again.
She used to enjoy flattery, but after getting tired of it, she rarely attended public events anymore.
Recently, however, she has started to openly accompany him to some private parties and charity galas in the entertainment industry, and she doesn't care even when she is photographed.
Just when he thought Jiang Fei was bored and wanted to return to the camera, she excitedly grabbed his sleeve, looked at the beauties around them, and said to him, "I'm tired of the beautiful scenery. Indeed, only beautiful women are the most beautiful scenery!"
He smiled, took her fidgeting hand in his palm, and didn't say much at the time, but lost control again that night.
As he carried her to the bathroom late at night, she still leaned lazily against him, gazing at him with half-closed eyes: "Mr. Yan, do you really enjoy being stimulated?"
He lowered his head and pecked her lips: "No."
Jiang Fei laughed out loud: "There's a star-studded awards ceremony in a few days, how about..."
“…Now it is.” He held her in his arms, finally pulling her close once more, and succumbed to her charms again.
He ultimately accompanied her to that star-studded gala.
The stars are dazzling, and there are many beautiful women.
Jiang Fei was very happy that night.
Even though she has retired from acting, she is still very qualified in the entertainment industry. Many young actors and stars came to toast her, which made her even happier.
The two went to the top floor of the hotel again.
As soon as I returned to the lounge, there was violin music, a candlelight dinner, and rose petals—everything I needed.
Jiang Fei looked at him with half-closed eyes.
Under her gaze, his ears burned slightly, a rare occurrence for him, but he still pulled her into his arms: "Tell me, this is how you should pursue a girl."
Jiang Fei laughed out loud, leaned against him, and admired the stars overhead.
Before going to sleep that night, he thought, "This is good."
He'd be happy to continue like this.
As long as she's still alive.
