Chapter 36
Coming back to his senses from the distant memories, Xie Jing Xing withdrew his gaze from downstairs and turned back to the study.
The story of the past is over, and the story of the present has not yet begun. Since Fu Yunshen has already forgotten, let everything end here.
…
At the Chen family, Chen Hongwen, who looked ten years older, suddenly suffered a stroke a few days ago. He is now sitting in a wheelchair with his mouth and eyes crooked and his gaze dull.
"The old man is getting confused, and he only knows how to do superstitious things all day long. These feudal superstitions didn't kill anyone, but instead made him suffer like this. He deserves it."
Chen Hongwen's youngest son Chen Dongkai finally came to power and was full of energy and ambition.
Since he was a child, he watched his father kill his grandparents to seize his grandfather's property, secretly kill competitors, maliciously compete to suppress small companies, steal research results from other companies... and eventually make Chen's company bigger. As a son, he naturally learned from him.
But this old man was holding on to his position and refused to give it up. He hypocritically restrained me and didn't let me learn from him, and taught me some morality, but he only knew how to call me a waste. But if the old man hadn't insisted on him keeping to his place, he would have helped Chen to a higher level long ago. How could the old man call him a waste?
Chen Dongkai narrowed his eyes and said, "Tell me, the old man went to find that liar named Xie Jingxing from Wutong Street to do something to Fu Yunshen, which is why he became like this?" Chen Dongkai did not believe in any feudal superstitions. He just thought that it was an excuse for his subordinates to evade responsibility.
The subordinate said tremblingly: "The master said that Xie Jingxing did not agree to him and has already sided with the Fu family, so..."
Chen Dongkai didn't have the patience to care about a powerless charlatan. He interrupted, "How dare a teahouse owner with no background cheat? And shamelessly stand on the side of the Fu family? Just find some street thugs to deal with it."
Chen Hongwen, who was in a wheelchair, let out two "ah ah" sounds when he heard this and wanted to scold his son, but he couldn't say a word.
"As for Fu Yunshen... he is my opponent." He cracked his knuckles, making a crackling sound. "The old man is old, and his methods are like those of a little lamb. He doesn't dare to play for real, so let me do it."
Mr. Liu withdrew his surveillance of the Chen family.
Its original intention was to use secular people and secular means to deal with Xie Jingxing and Fu Yunshen. Now it seems that it chose the wrong person from the beginning. Compared with the old waste who wanted to retire, Chen Dongkai, a madman who had been suppressed for a long time, was the best candidate.
…
The flower arrangement at Qiwu Teahouse was finally completed. Looking from above, the entire area from the alley entrance to the courtyard had turned into a sea of deep red.
Fu Yunshen walked into the alley. On the blue brick walls, the deep red roses and gorgeous peonies were in bud and now in full bloom. It was as if he had walked into a secret realm lost in time and space. The deeper he walked, the more dreamy and glorious it became.
When we walked to the entrance of Qiwu Teahouse, all the flowers were in full bloom, with rich colors and extremely gorgeous appearance.
Xie Jingxing was waiting for him at the door, still wearing his black shirt. Even though it was summer, he buttoned his shirt to the top, looking clean and dignified.
However, behind him are blooming crimson flowers. The red roses and black shirt, the black shirt and fair skin, the fair skin and the gorgeous crimson flowers form a wonderful and strange harmony.
Fu Yunshen was stunned for a moment.
He coughed lightly, presented the bouquet of ninety-nine red roses in his hand, and said, "Thank you, sir, for this small gift for you." He felt that his intention of pursuing her should be very obvious, and it was good for two old men to solve the problem of being single together.
Xie Jingxing looked at Fu Yunshen, understood the meaning in his eyes, but did not take the bouquet.
He looked far away at the end of the alley. All the flowers were in full bloom, not inferior to the magnificent scene of peonies blooming on Suzaku Street in the past. But what was the point of repeating the cycle over and over again?
He smiled and said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Fu, for letting me see such a magnificent sight again. However, our relationship ends here. I will ensure your safety in the event of external interference, but we don't need to go any further."
After receiving Xie Jingxing's clear rejection, Fu Yunshen frowned. Why?
At least he had sensed Xie Jingxing's affection for him before. Did his attitude suddenly change since... since he got the first memory file?
Suddenly he kissed me uncontrollably, suddenly he called me "Shen Shen" in a complicated tone, and suddenly he became indifferent.
He and Xie Jingxing must have had some kind of close relationship in the past, but with Xie Jingxing's reaction now, Fu Yunshen felt as if he had failed him? Moreover, what did the grand scene of "seeing each other again" mean?
Fu Yunshen was not the kind of person who would give up his ideas just because of a single sentence. He raised his eyebrows and asked his own inference: "Mr. Xie, is it because of that memory file?"
Fu Yunshen hit the nail on the head, and Xie Jingxing did not deny it. He said, "Mr. Fu may think so."
Fu Yunshen continued: "So... since this memory is related to me, won't Mr. Xie show it to me?" He was really curious, what did Xie Jingxing see?
Xie Jingxing said, "Mr. Fu, you just need to know that what happened in the past might not be your original intention. Forget the past and start over. It will be good for both of us."
"What happened in the past was not your intention"? This sentence gave Fu Yunshen a sudden inspiration. If that dream was really some kind of revelation...
In the dream, even though the tone of the man in green had changed, he was still following the unchangeable plot and was unable to give any response to the man in green.
If... the man in green is Xie Jingxing, then isn't he torturing him over and over again?
This thought made Fu Yunshen feel a little horrified.
However, these are just speculations. Fu Yunshen believes that his destiny is in his own control and will not tolerate anyone manipulating him. If such a thing really happens, how can he just sit there and wait for death?
He stared at Xie Jingxing and said, "Although the past is important, isn't the present that is in our hands more important? Didn't Mr. Xie also say to start over?"
"Now?" Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows. Now he wanted Fu Yunshen to be free.
Fu Yunshen raised the corner of his lips: "It's just a relationship now, are you afraid, Mr. Xie?"
“That’s all?” Xie Jingxing’s eyes darkened. Fu Yunshen’s nonchalant attitude made him a little unhappy.
"Mr. Xie, are you willing to give it a try with me?" Fu Yunshen took a step forward, raised one hand and pressed it on the flower wall, imprisoning Xie Jingxing in the flower wall. "Mr. Xie, just treat it as completing a mission, I don't mind."
Fu Yunshen's casual attitude annoyed Xie Jingxing, who pushed Fu Yunshen into the gorgeous flower wall with his backhand, and the bouquet of red roses in Fu Yunshen's hand was thrown aside by Xie Jingxing.
The deep red petals were caused to fall down by the huge noise. Fu Yunshen was covered with petals, and some petals even slipped into his collar.
Then the next second, his lips were blocked. Xie Jingxing still had the gentle scent of osmanthus, but this kiss was more intense than the last time, and Fu Yunshen even felt pain.
But since he had expressed his pursuit to her, he had to respond seriously. Last time in the winery, he was pressed on the sofa and lost his mind for a moment, but this time, Fu Yunshen actually felt a little excited. He inserted his fingers into Xie Jingxing's hair, followed Xie Jingxing's rhythm, and even had a tendency to counterattack.
As the two of them moved vigorously, rose petals fell to the ground.
Fu Yun fell deeply into it, trapped in the deep and rich fragrance of roses. The thorns of the roses scratched his cheek, leaving a small cut, from which tiny beads of blood oozed out.
Fu Yunshen felt like he was suffocating, his lips and fingertips began to feel numb, and his breathing became more and more rapid, but he still refused to give in and kissed Xie Jingxing more and more fiercely.
The familiar kiss touched Xie Jingxing, and he finally let go of Fu Yunshen. Their foreheads touched each other. He stared at Fu Yunshen for a while, then gently sucked the blood off Fu Yunshen's face.
Fu Yunshen calmed his disordered breathing and raised the corners of his lips.
There were also several cuts on the back of Xie Jingxing's fair and powerful left hand. He wiped the blood on the back of his hand with the tip of his right thumb and smeared it on Fu Yunshen's lips, making the lips that were already red from his kisses even more gorgeous.
Xie Jingxing pinched Fu Yunshen's chin, lifted it up slightly, and looked down at him. This man usually looked like a sober and rational business elite, but at this moment he was trapped in the crimson flowers, his body covered with gorgeous petals, and his clothes were messy.
Fu Yunshen licked his lips and tasted the smell of Xie Jingxing's blood.
Xie Jingxing lowered his head and kissed Fu Yunshen again, and the blood of the two people mixed together.
Fu Yunshen had no strength left, so he relaxed and enjoyed the kiss.
Xie Jingxing lost interest and finally let him go. He straightened his black shirt and his aura returned to its calm and peaceful state. He was still gentle and reserved. He said slowly, "Mr. Fu, I hope I didn't scare you."
Fu Yunshen felt that Xie Jingxing seemed to have ignited the excitement in him. He just leaned against the flower wall, slightly tilting his head. The flowers rubbed against the wound on his cheek, causing slight pain.
He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Now, Mr. Xie, do you get happiness from me? Maybe we can try to have a relationship?"
Although I don’t know why Xie Jingxing lost control, if they really had a past, Xie Jingxing must have loved him deeply.
