Chapter 56 Then die with me, Liang Guanyue...
The light and shadow wall at Stro University has been renovated, and Fu Yunlu was officially sentenced today to be transferred from the main city to the 53rd administrative district starting next month.
The event Liang Guanyue was in charge of went smoothly. After the event, he was invited to a celebration banquet. Liang Guanyue was tired of these unnecessary social interactions, so he made an excuse that he had something to do in the evening and could not go to dinner with them. He wished these people a good time.
When passing by the school's large screen, he saw Fu Yunlu on it.
The last time I saw Fu Yunlu here was when he was reporting the human insect transformation incident in District 06. At that time, even though he rarely rested due to his non-stop work, he was still in high spirits and full of energy.
The image on the large light screen was clear enough. Liang Guanyue stood there for a while, then looked up at Fu Yunlu. After not seeing her for a month, he seemed to have a hard time remembering what Fu Yunlu looked like before.
The now somewhat embarrassed Fourth Prince had no choice but to hold a press conference under pressure. Facing every sharp question from the reporter, he gave perfect answers with tact.
Until a reporter asked, "I heard that a few months ago you forced an Alpha to have sex with you, is that correct?"
Fu Yunlu's forced smile froze. His Adam's apple moved, and he gripped the microphone with his fingers. He whispered, "...This has nothing to do with this press conference."
"According to insiders, Alpha is just a powerless college student who hasn't even graduated yet."
Fu Yunlu raised her hand: "Stop asking irrelevant questions."
The reporter dodged the security guard's attempts to stop him and said, "You forced an Alpha into an improper relationship with you. Not only did you use your power to coerce him, you even destroyed an Alpha's nature! What's the difference between what you did and what Fu Yunliang did?!"
The scene suddenly became chaotic. Fu Yunlu stared at him silently for a long while before saying, "Please ask this reporter to leave."
Everyone subconsciously tried to find out what kind of expression Fu Yunlu would show, trying to find a flaw on his face, but Liang Guanyue's eyes moved to his clenched hands - a prince who had worn a mask for many years, his expression would not betray his inner thoughts, but his body would.
Everyone around started discussing who the Alpha was, but Liang Guanyue, the protagonist, turned around and left with a lack of interest.
He was wondering when Fu Yunlu would come to take revenge on him.
Could they really let him go like this? Liang Guanyue felt that this was impossible.
It's time to find an opportunity to deal with that idiot Fu Chaoyang. It would be very difficult to deal with him alone, but fortunately John was sent over.
It was difficult to argue with a double A in bed. Even though John seemed obsessed with him now, it was hard to tell when it came to such things. Fu Yunlu was willing because she had been laying the net for a long time. Liang Guanyue could hardly muster the same patience to deal with John.
“Guan Yue!!”
Liang Guanyue took a deep breath in annoyance, then put on a smile the next second, raised his head, and looked at John, who was waving at him in the car, with feigned surprise: "Why are you here?"
John smiled and said, "They said you didn't go to the celebration party, so I came to find you."
Liang Guanyue walked into the car, and John pressed the start button and asked him if he had any plans for tonight. Liang Guanyue did not answer immediately, but asked directly: "John, we are both Alphas, have you ever thought about us having sex?"
John was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Liang Guanyue to suddenly ask the next question, and began to stutter: "Of course I have thought about it. This, this... shouldn't I do it?"
Liang Guanyue asked, "Why are you here?"
John asked cautiously, "Has Fu Yunlu...did you do this?"
Liang Guanyue smiled and said, "What do you think?"
"...You've done it before." John coughed shyly. "I think you must have had...that experience down there, right?"
Liang Guanyue glanced at him with a half-smile, and stretched out a palm in front of him. John didn't understand why and pressed it against her. Liang Guanyue stroked his cheek with her thumb and said, "So you want to sleep with me, John."
John nodded with bright eyes.
Liang Guanyue said, "Aren't you afraid that I might be in trouble? After all, the Fourth Prince forced me to do that with him."
"I haven't mentioned this matter because I'm afraid you haven't gotten over it yet," John explained. "And don't worry, I won't force you until you agree."
Liang Guanyue withdrew his hand out of boredom. He had thought that his roommate would be different from Fu Yunlu, but now it seemed that their words were exactly the same.
What is this, a substitute version of Fu Yunlu?
He said, "Stop for a moment in front. I have something to do."
John frantically grasped his hand and asked tentatively, "Are you angry?"
"John, I'm an Alpha too." Liang Guanyue started playing pitiful, as usual. "I don't want to be the one on the bottom every time. Let's both think about it again."
John couldn't understand: "But you and Fu Yunlu both——"
"That's something I can't help."
"So there's a solution for me, then?"
"He has no feelings for me." Liang Guanyue said, "But you said you liked me, so I thought you would be different from him." He smiled bitterly, "Maybe my expectations were too high."
John choked, his eyes wandering, as if he was thinking of some words to defend himself, but Liang Guanyue was too lazy to listen to the meaningless words, so he pushed open the car door and walked out.
He came to the river to enjoy the breeze, and looked up to see a flock of migratory birds flying across the sky in the shape of a "human". He opened the terminal and turned to Fu Yunlu's message column. The last message was sent to him by Fu Yunlu on the night she left. The gist of it was to remind him to take good care of himself, not to stay up late all the time, and to tell him if he encountered any grievances at school, and he would handle it for him no matter how busy he was.
Liang Guanyue did not reply, because he knew that these words would never come true.
District Fifty-Three… the administrative districts beyond the fifty-third zone were half a garbage planet. The head of state hadn't even specified a return date, so Fu Yunlu was truly leaving the center of power. Upon his return, the main city's alignment would likely be completely reshuffled. By then, how many major families would still be willing to risk standing behind this tainted prince?
This is also the reason why Liang Guanyue did not hand over the remaining evidence in his hand to Fu Chaoyang.
He was very satisfied with the current result. No matter what, there was still a possibility for Fu Yunlu to turn around in the future - after all, if someone was forced into a desperate situation, even a rabbit would bite when it was cornered, not to mention that Fu Yunlu was not a rabbit.
Liang Guanyue was not stupid enough to think that a commoner like him could really escape from this vortex of power unscathed.
He stretched and prepared to take a leisurely walk back to the dormitory from the river, but Liang Guanyue was always keen on being followed, and it was obvious that someone was trying to attack him from behind.
He thought for two seconds, decided to play dumb, and turned to walk towards a less crowded place - he had to get it over with anyway, so why not do it today?
It only took a moment for him to be knocked unconscious by the drugs, and when he woke up, he was already next to Fu Yunlu.
His hands and feet were handcuffed with electronic shackles, and his brain was still a little drowsy from the effects of drugs. Liang Guanyue opened his eyes in confusion and shook his head. Fu Yunlu next to him had a pair of rimless glasses on his nose. His outfit was no different from what he saw at the press conference today. He must have ordered someone to kidnap him right after the press conference.
Seeing him awake, Fu Yunlu turned off his laptop and smoothed Liang Guanyue's hair over his forehead, revealing his emerald green eyes. He stared silently at the Alpha, who was nearly ten years his junior, for a moment before saying, "Guanyue, how are you doing lately?"
Liang Guanyue asked, "Where is this?"
Because all the sun visors in the car were down, Liang Guanyue could only barely recognize that it was an enclosed space.
Fu Yunlu replied: "We are in the car."
"Where do you want to take me?"
"Let's go to the beach."
"..." Liang Guanyue said, "Fu Yunlu, do you want to kill me?"
Fu Yunlu chuckled softly twice: "How could you think of me killing you when I took you to the beach?"
"Your eyes tell me so." Liang Guanyue tried to sit up straight, "and you don't seem to want to live anymore."
Fu Yunlu was still smiling. He said, "Guan Yue, what do you want?"
"Does it matter?"
"I've given you everything I could." Fu Yunlu murmured, "I didn't know you would hate me so much."
Liang Guanyue caught the word "you". In his opinion, the only people who could influence Fu Yunlu were himself and his mother.
It seems that Fu Yunlu's one-sided family affection has finally come to an end - along with the "love" he thought he already had.
A thirty-year-old Alpha, still unable to see the reality like a child, cherishes the fantasy of a happy ending and delusion that his efforts will be rewarded. When reality hits him hard, he flees in panic like a stray dog.
But if she didn't have such a desire for love, how could Fu Yunlu have fallen into her own trap and ended up in this situation today?
Ridiculous and extremely contradictory.
So when Fu Yunlu asked Liang Guanyue why she betrayed him, Liang Guanyue turned around, looked at Fu Yunlu's face, and said cruelly: "Because this is all your fault."
“…”
Fu Yunlu seemed to have forgotten to breathe at that moment, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he could hardly utter a word, but he forced himself to speak: "...My fault?"
Liang Guanyue smiled and said, "Yes, Fu Yunlu, it's your fault."
"If you could break free from your fantasy, you would see Zhao Yi's true face—she spared the head of state, Fu Liaoyan, and the Zhao family. But with nowhere to vent her hatred, she could only wield her sword against the weaker. Fu Yunlu, you are that weaker one."
"You thought that by working hard day after day, abandoning yourself, fulfilling her wish to pursue power, and providing her and the Zhao family with a sensible and outstanding successor candidate, you would win her favor."
"But don't you really feel it? Your brother Fu Yunliang can get everything you truly desire without any effort."
"I think you're willing to shield Fu Yunliang again and again because you've discovered that every time this happens, your mother shows you a tenderness that borders on 'maternal love.'"
"It's as if you two are really a family, as if you really have the same treatment as Fu Yunliang."
"But, Fu Yunlu, it was all fake. You knew it very well, but you kept letting it happen until Fu Yunliang's actions came back to bite you."
"As for how you handled Ji Shun, you were utterly stupid."
Liang Guanyue looked at him with a hint of pity at this point and said, "For a lover you've only been with for a few months, you abandoned your assistant who has been with you for so many years. Fu Yunlu, should I say you are affectionate or heartless?"
Fu Yunlu closed his eyes and listened quietly to Liang Guanyue's voice. After a while, he said hoarsely, "So from the beginning to the end, in your heart, I am such a stupid and incompetent person, right?"
Liang Guanyue did not answer.
Fu Yunlu continued, "So every time you say 'I love you' to me, you actually mean 'I hate you', right?"
"..." Liang Guanyue shook his head and said frankly, "The emotion represented by the word 'hate' is too strong. Fu Yunlu, I cannot possess such a strong emotion." He ruthlessly told the man who seemed to be on the verge of collapse, "Fu Yunlu, I am just tired of living a controlled life like this."
Fu Yunlu muttered in a low voice: "Control?"
Liang Guanyue said: "Don't you understand? If you hadn't threatened me, I wouldn't have had anything to do with you at all."
He said, "I don't hate you, nor do I love you. Every 'I love you' I said was just to deal with you, or to get the results I wanted—like having you gradually fall in love with me, and then gradually lowering my boundaries, allowing me to mark you, completely enter your reproductive cavity, and hand over access to your database. I was blinded by this and thought I had the love I hadn't received in the previous thirty years."
"Ha..." Fu Yunlu covered his face and laughed angrily. He had lost a lot of weight in the past month, and the protruding bones seemed to be piercing through the thin skin. He said, "Liang Guanyue, you don't even want to say a nice word to me at the end?"
"Brother." Liang Guanyue softened her voice, "I love you."
Fu Yunlu quickly raised her head, her deep blue eyes staring at him blankly. Her lips trembled, as if she wanted to say something.
Then Liang Guanyue smiled and said, "Why, are you satisfied?"
Fu Yunlu felt a chill run down his spine as he watched Liang Guanyue's smile, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Tears welled up in his eyes, dripping down like broken strings. He choked up so hard he couldn't even utter a single sentence, only making meaningless, hoarse sounds like a mute.
Before Liang Guanyue opened his eyes, Fu Yunlu had been thinking - if Liang Guanyue was willing to continue lying to him, could he pretend nothing happened?
Or say something nice.
Or explain that you have compelling reasons.
He found countless reasons for Liang Guanyue to forgive his betrayal.
But Liang Guanyue overturned all of them, trampled them under his feet, and told him that she had no feelings for him.
This made Fu Yunlu begin to doubt whether it was because he should not have been born, so even the love he could bestow was considered worthless by Liang Guanyue.
"You're willing to be with another Alpha, but you think my feelings are disgusting." Fu Yunlu laughed at himself. After saying this, he was silent for two seconds, then took out a pistol and said, "In that case, then die with me who disgusts you."
"This is your punishment for betraying me, Liang Guanyue."
