Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Nothing Valuable
"The fan who had the illness is fine! He was given emergency asthma medication and admitted to a hospital room for oxygen therapy."
Liu Ping pushed the door open in a hurry and just passed the nurse.
He was sweating profusely, and he ran to Yan Pei in two steps, smacking his lips in pain: "Oh my god, such a long cut."
Yan Pei's hand was resting on the table. His wound was on his forearm, winding from the wrist bone to the elbow. It was clearly visible and not deep, but a lot of blood had been lost. If the nurse had not taken away and thrown away the gauze after use, the scene would have been even bloodier.
However, the two of them could only speak three sentences during their family reunion.
Soon, Liu Ping complained: "Fortunately, your voice is precious, your hands are not a problem."
Yan Pei glared at him and snorted coldly: "It hurts so much... I'll sue him to death! Go to jail!"
"Let's not talk about whether to sue or not," Liu Ping sat down and took out his phone to flip through it. "Did you know that a passerby filmed you on video? Now the whole internet is watching you beat up the illegitimate child, and even Boss Yan can't stop it!"
"If you can't stop it, then tell him to leave it alone," Yan Pei said dismissively. "Let him earn the money from this massive traffic reward."
"Hey, Young Master Yan, you are so arrogant." Liu Ping said sarcastically.
Yan Pei: "Have you found out the origins of that man?"
"There's no need to check. Our little firecracker has already hung it on the wall."
Liu Ping still has a strong sense of belonging to his fans, and he calls them little firecrackers one by one, but when they cause trouble, he wishes to blow them all up and die together.
"One of your straight Kongtong fans has been hyping up the 'interesting' thing lately, quite radical. He swears to bring you back to the right path."
"In just a few hours, this guy wet the bed in junior high, skipped school in high school, and failed technical school... he even failed technical school! And all his disgusting comments on various platforms, his exorbitant prices for merchandise, etc., were completely uncovered. What's even funnier is that he even created a thread specifically for this, where he went on a rant with CP fans for eight hundred words."
Liu Ping shows a screenshot on his mobile phone.
The more this person broke down, the more excited Yan Xue became. In the end, she just mechanically replied: Yan Pei is not gay! Yan Pei is not gay!
Especially desperate.
He sighed: "Why bother, I ask you, hyping up CPs is real and fake... Oh."
Liu Ping was halfway through his words when he realized what was happening and apologized to the third person in the room, "That's not what I meant, Cen Xue. I can guarantee that Yan Pei's feelings for you are genuine!"
I have never seen anyone get away with slapping a tiger in the face.
If this isn’t true love, what is?
"Ah," Cen Xue was caught off guard by the sudden call of her name, "It's okay, I don't care about that."
It's over, true love seems to be a one-way street.
Liu Ping glanced at Yan Pei with pity.
Cen Xue gave a polite social smile and said, "Excuse me, can I see the video?"
Liu Ping handed it over with both hands: "Of course I can."
The video was shot in the evening, and because it was at a distance and the picture was zoomed in, it was a little blurry and noisy.
In the picture, a group of people walked out of the studio door. There were more than a dozen girls waiting outside the door, some of them carrying cameras, and they surrounded them as soon as they saw them.
They left at a different time; Fu Rouyun's group had already returned. The production team had informed them in advance that fans would be following them offline, so they remained calm, using the time before boarding the bus to catch up on emails or share their thoughts with fans during the recording.
Cen Xue awkwardly made cat ears gestures from countless angles at the urging of her fans.
"Left, right, front, back... Sorry, I forgot there's no tail. Turn around, Xiao Mi!"
"Xiao Mi Xiao Mi, we will always support you!"
"Xiao Mi, I skipped classes to come see you——"
Cen Xue's expression turned serious. "How can you skip class?"
Fan: "Ahhh, he talked to me! This trick really works!"
Cen Xue: "..."
Accidents always happen suddenly.
When the girl at the outermost edge screamed, the black shadow had already rushed in front of her. Cen Xue only felt a flash before her eyes, and her chest was tightly gripped by gravity, and a layer of burning pain passed through her neck.
"Die, you disgusting homosexual!!!"
Just by listening to his voice, you can probably tell that the world has not been kind to him, and it seems like he has eaten too many spicy snacks.
Cen Xue was also a man, and he struggled to break free from him, but he heard the noise of fans behind him, and he was worried and pushed again.
Li Mu caught him.
The teammates reacted a little slowly and wanted to rush over to block Cen Xue, but someone was faster.
Yan Pei appeared at this moment. The video captured his car just leaving the underground garage and he ran over almost at the same time as the troublemaker.
He was not as restrained as the others, and he punched hard, hitting the flesh.
The troublemaker fell back two or three meters!
"[Beep] you [Beep]!"
There is no doubt that this is the video's built-in sound mute. Yan Pei has an outstanding voice, and even if the effect is damaged, you can still tell it is him.
Normally, he could sing a high note for thirty seconds without taking a breath, and his cursing was also extremely loud. The people present subconsciously lowered their jaws.
"Who are you calling disgusting? I'm going to make you bleep!"
Yan Pei rushed over and subdued the fan boy, and started beating him.
When the fan boy saw that it was the real owner, he became even more desperate and broke down, screaming and struggling wildly.
In the night, a silver reflection flashed by.
Yan Pei's hand was cut, and that's how the cut happened.
"You even have a knife!" He didn't even have time to feel the pain, and snatched it with a sly grin, "You bastard, you still want to hurt me?!!"
What happened next was that Liu Ping led a group of people to rush up and subdue the troublemaker.
Although strictly speaking, it is hard to say who was subdued.
Cen Xue still remembered the bloodshot in Yan Pei's eyes when they were separated, and his fists clenched tightly as if he was holding something precious.
The video taken by the passerby suddenly stopped.
After the playback was completed, it automatically slid up to the comment section, and unexpectedly caught Cen Xue's eye.
【Yan Pei is a real man】
[Fuck, is that a knife? Are you okay? I saw an ambulance coming QAQ]
Yan Pei really showed no mercy with those punches. The bang bang bang was so rhythmic. Ugh.
How do you know someone created a second-hand version of the combat effects for a music game? [Video link]
【I am convinced by the firecracker girl】
[Celebrities have hit people, but their fans are still gloating about it. There is no hope.]
[Hello, he's a stalker and he was the first to start. Our Brother Yan was just being brave and doing what was right.]
[Wow, wow, wow, wow, our little one is well protected by him...]
What are CP fans worried about?
[I don't know if I should say this or not, but the way Yan Pei charges forward while Cen Xue protects the fans from behind is incredibly well-matched.]
Mom and Dad protect me...
Cen Xue: "..."
alright.
He turned off the video, seeing that was enough.
"Thanks."
"No thanks," Liu Ping took the phone and said to Yan Pei, "The company has already issued a statement saying that you were acting in self-defense to protect your personal safety, and the ambulance was called for a fan."
Rarely, the facts and description are exactly the same.
The fan who teased Cen Xue by saying that she skipped class had asthma. The troublemaker pushed her to the ground, and she was so scared that she couldn't breathe.
The person traveling with him didn't know anyone and couldn't find any emergency medicine, so he called 120 to pick someone up.
He also pulled Yan Pei, whose arm was bleeding, over.
Knock knock.
"Excuse me……"
The nurse suppressed her excitement and opened the door a crack, then interrupted cautiously, "Someone needs to come over here to pay the bill."
"I'll do it!"
Liu Ping jumped up. He was a very elastic fat man. He trotted over and said, "Let's share the expenses for that asthmatic girl."
The nurse and his voice faded away:
"Can I have your autograph?"
"Sister, our teacher Yan's injury is on his right hand."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
…
Only Yan Pei and Cen Xue were left in the room.
Cen Xue leaned against the window, looking at the night through the gap in the curtains, and suddenly noticed a flash of light downstairs.
He frowned and said, "It seems that reporters are following us."
"If no one follows me, then I'm the one who's out of fashion, okay?" The anesthetic was about to wear off, and Yan Pei couldn't put on a good face. "Here, take it."
He extended his left hand towards Cen Xue.
Cen Xue was stunned for half a second, then hesitated and handed her hand to him.
The fist that had been clenched tightly from the ambulance until now finally loosened, and a necklace fell into Cen Xue's palm.
The pendant looked like a small bottle, but the chain was torn into several pieces. It was the one that Cen Xue had worn for many years without changing it and was extremely precious to her.
"...You picked it up." Sighing blankly, Cen Xue subconsciously touched her neck.
I realized it later and it was burning with pain.
The troublemaker grabbed his necklace by the collar and it was torn off while he was struggling.
Perhaps because the sweat and cosmetics had corroded the material, the chain was particularly fragile, but it was still equivalent to cutting the neck. I didn't know whether to say it or not, the red scar happened to be connected to the kiss mark left by Yan Pei, so there was no need to cover anything up.
"Nonsense!" Yan Pei said unhappily, "It's not like I don't know you care about this."
It seemed that he was thinking about Yan Pei's injury and the fans' illness. Although he was obviously very upset, he still held back and didn't say anything.
But that pitiful look was already revealed in his expression. He was melancholy and fragile, with redness at the corners of his eyes. No matter who looked at him, he would probably be willing to say anything within three seconds, for fear that a Schrödinger's tear would fall.
Didn’t you see Liu Pingshun so smooth that he almost patted someone on the back to put them to sleep?
Cen Xue: "Why didn't you give it to me just now?"
Yan Pei said, "I didn't have anesthesia just now, so I had to hold on to something to endure the pain. I can find it back for you. It's not too much to lend it to you."
Cen Xue suddenly met his eyes.
His mouth was tightly pursed and his eyes were wide open.
My eyes, which were once covered with fog, now see a little clearer.
Before Yan Pei could fully grasp the emotion in it, he saw him turn his head again and wipe his face fiercely with the back of his hand.
Yan Pei's voice involuntarily weakened, leaving only stubbornness inside: "...you won't give me your hand again."
Cen Xue: "You're always like this."
Yan Pei: "What's wrong with me?!"
Cen Xue stopped talking.
He was very confused.
It's hard to say, he can now live in peace with his ex who kissed him during the day, and she even ignored his celebrity status and beat up some bad fans for him, and even - remembered the necklace.
Cen Xue is really good at reading people's expressions.
The scene was already chaotic enough, what was a lost necklace? He had originally intended to suppress this despair, but Yan Pei actually remembered and found it from the beginning.
In an instant, complex emotions surged up and I almost couldn't control them.
Of course, the clearest thing is the blame on Yan Pei——
It's always like this. Every time I do something annoying and unacceptable, I feel that this is the worst that can happen.
Then they do some surprising things to give you the illusion that you still care about them.
So annoying.
Cen Xue couldn't stand this repetition anymore.
He didn't want to owe Yan Pei anything anymore.
Yan Pei was still whispering: "Although I really don't understand the meaning, if I don't realize it after you did that, am I still a human being? But you didn't treat me as a human being in the first place. You scolded me like that this afternoon, so I am just..."
"Yan Pei," Cen Xue rarely called out his name, causing the latter to look up suddenly. "What exactly do you want from me?"
He continued in a hoarse voice: "Do you want to get back together with me? Or are you still upset and want to take revenge on me?"
Yan Pei couldn't stand the provocation: "Revenge you?! If I want revenge——"
Cen Xue held the small bottle pendant in her hand and shook it carefully.
There was a sound of one or two small things rolling inside.
"There's nothing valuable in it," he interrupted.
"Just two small stones. One of them is white and looks like a tooth when it is washed clean."
Yan Pei was stunned: "A small stone."
Before he could react, Cen Xue was answering his previous complaint.
The answer he had missed for seven years was suddenly given, and he couldn't handle it for a while.
Before leaving the hospital, Cen Xue said, "If you don't want anything, just stay away from me and don't bother me anymore."
*
"Flash Revolution" left a staff member to pick him up and take him back to the training camp.
On the way back, Cen Xue took out her cell phone, and sure enough, it was already filled with a series of unread messages.
[Lu Yanxi]
[I saw the trending search, are you okay?]
[I saw that video, luckily Yan Pei was there]
[If you see this message, please reply and let me know you are safe]
[Someone filmed you guys at the hospital. Sorry, I didn't mean to follow you. I'm relieved to see you're okay.]
[There are a lot of paparazzi downstairs, be careful]
…
Cen Xue suddenly had a feeling. He immediately looked out the car window and happened to pass by a large black car on the side of the road.
But when he saw that there was no one inside, he felt an indescribable sense of emptiness.
With a soft sigh, he replied inexplicably:
My necklace is broken.
The reply came almost instantly.
[Lu Yanxi]
[I'm glad everyone is alright.]
[I remember the necklace I gave you back then. The chain is detachable and will last a long time. Change it up.]
[Cen Xue]
[I sold that one.]
[sorry. ]
It was rare that he was the one to apologize to Lu Yanxi.
Cen Xue still remembers that it was the first birthday present he received in his life.
Lu Yanxi was silent for a while before replying:
[That one is quite rare, so I won't get much of a discount if I sell it. I'm glad I can help you.]
Look, this kind of thoughtfulness again.
Why did these two men make him feel a little helpless today?
At this time, another message came on the phone.
[Unknown Contact]
[I happened to be going on a business trip that day. If you don’t mind, I’d like to give you a ride?]
[Cen Xue]
[Thank you. That would be a bother.]
The message replies came to a temporary halt at this point. Cen Xue looked up and bumped into a staff member who was looking at her.
"Haha," the staff member tried to smooth things over, "It's normal to carry a cell phone. No one can live without one these days."
Cen Xue smiled and said, "Yes."
He calmly put his phone back into his bag.
Then I heard the staff say, "Mr. Fu also has a cell phone, we all understand."
Cen Xue: "..."
He emphasized the question: "...Huh?"
