Chapter 48: Bloody Drama
Ye Xingzhou sat down and casually flipped through the last two pages of the document he had just been reading. When he looked up again, Lin Zhinian had come in and was standing in front of his desk, looking at him with complicated eyes.
Ye Xingzhou said calmly, "Sit down."
Lin Zhinian refused and insisted on standing. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Did my second uncle come to see you before?"
Ye Xingzhou: “Yeah.”
Lin Zhinian stared into his eyes and said, "You want Boshun? Ever since you agreed to introduce business to my second uncle, have you already had this idea in mind?"
"What do you want to ask?" Ye Xingzhou raised his eyelids with an indifferent look, "I am a businessman. It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits. I have no reason to refuse the opportunity that comes to my door."
Lin Zhinian was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "So what you mean is that my second uncle is stupid and deserves to be cheated by you, then what about me? Why did you bring me with you before, causing outsiders including my second uncle to misunderstand our relationship? Was it just to embarrass the elders in your family? Or did you start setting a trap from that time, knowing that my second uncle wanted to use me to exchange for benefits from you, so you went with the flow and let him reap what he sowed?"
Ye Xingzhou said indifferently: "Whatever you think is right."
Whatever he felt was what it was. Lin Zhinian felt bitter in his heart. It was indeed he who took the initiative to approach Ye Xingzhou with a smug look on his face, wishing that after more than ten years, this person would still be waiting for him there.
Ye Xingzhou never expressed anything, but just didn't reject his approach. Perhaps he was just watching the show, watching him put aside his pride like a clown and show his goodwill again and again, and then take advantage of him.
All his sufferings were actually not worth mentioning to Ye Xingzhou.
"Do you really have to be like this? Those things that happened back then...are they really nothing in your eyes?"
Lin Zhinian asked with difficulty in his hoarse voice. He didn't even know why he was waiting here for an hour and insisting on seeing this person. But he would not be satisfied until he got an answer.
"Back then, you could run all over the city to buy me a piece of cake of my favorite flavor for my birthday. We made an appointment to watch the sunrise. You sneaked out of the house in the middle of the night. You rode your bike to take me to the mountains dozens of kilometers away, saying that we would go to see it together in the future. People from other schools came to bother me. You got into a fight with others and dislocated your wrist. I was sick and went to the hospital, and you stayed up all night to watch over me. Are all these things false?"
In the lounge, Qi Xing finished a game absentmindedly and glanced outside.
Teacher Lin looked like he was about to cry as he spoke, staring at Ye Xingzhou in a trance. Qi Xing even felt that his hands were shaking, and he tried desperately to suppress his emotions. However, Ye Xingzhou didn't seem to be looking at him at all. He lowered his head slightly and didn't even change his sitting posture.
Unfortunately, Ye Xingzhou was sitting with his back to the lounge, so he couldn't see the expression on this bastard's face.
Qi Xing curled his lips slightly, retracted his gaze, and started a new game.
Ye Xingzhou was actually distracted, his eyes falling on a cufflink that had fallen beside the folder.
The brightly colored coral stone cufflinks were not his, but Qi Xing's. They must have been accidentally rubbed off when he pushed the person onto the table just now.
The image of Qi Xing immersed in the climax appeared in front of his eyes again, his moist lips slightly parted and he kept breathing, his brows were stained with lust and the corners of his eyes were a lustful red, his overly beautiful face was soaked in sweat, he was completely addicted to it, making people want to ravage, bully, violate and possess him more.
Ye Xingzhou picked up the cufflink between his fingertips and rubbed it slowly.
Lin Zhinian noticed his movements and finally realized that Ye Xingzhou might not have listened to what he said at all and had no interest in his reminiscences of the past.
He bit his lip, becoming more and more embarrassed, and insisted on speaking: "Xingzhou, I know you hate me for leaving despite your request, but I have no choice, I really have no choice. My parents died early, and my second uncle has the final say at home. My life is not easy, not much better than yours in the Ye family. If I leave with you, I will really have nothing. My second uncle wants me to please you now because you are the one in power in the Ye family, but back then, he only regarded me as an alien in the family and wanted to get rid of me as soon as possible. Moreover, it's not just him, but also your father. I have never told you that your father has looked for me."
Ye Xingzhou's fingers paused, and his eyebrows finally moved imperceptibly.
Lin Zhinian's eyes were red, tears flashing in his eyes: "I have actually been hesitating, I want you too, really, I am not as cruel as you think, then your father found me, he told me that he has great expectations for you, he won't allow you to have a stain like me, he asked me to leave you, if I can't do it, he will abandon you, let you go back to where you came from, I was scared, really scared, I didn't dare to gamble.
Later, I actually tried to contact you, but failed. I thought you received the postcard I sent back to China, but when I asked you before, you said no. Maybe your father took it away. I have been thinking about you for more than ten years and never forgot you for a moment, but I didn’t dare to come back. I was afraid of affecting you and afraid that your father would repeat the same trick. It was not until he passed away that I dared to come back to see you. ”
"I thought we still had a chance," he looked at Ye Xingzhou and choked up, "The painting that won the award was drawn by me for you. Do you think the person in the painting is you? No, that's me. I drew myself. I have always lived in darkness. You are my only light. I should have made it clear to you long ago. I am selfish and cowardly, but my heart for you has always been true. It was true then and it is still true now. But why do you want to retaliate against me in this way?"
For a moment, the office was so quiet that you could almost hear a pin drop. No one made a sound except Lin Zhinian's unstable breathing.
Ye Xingzhou kept his eyes down, stroking the cufflink in his hand. No one knew what he was thinking.
Lin Zhinian couldn't see the emotions in his eyes, and Qi Xing in the lounge couldn't see it either.
What finally broke the deadlock was the sound of Qi Xing playing games on his mobile phone.
After the cheerful and light music, there was a humorous electronic music saying "Game Over". Lin Zhinian was startled and looked towards the direction of the lounge in surprise.
Qi Xing pushed the door open and walked to Ye Xingzhou under Lin Zhinian's incredulous gaze. He kicked him and said, "Are you guys done talking? I'm starving. When can we leave?"
Ye Xingzhou looked towards him with a hint of smile in his eyes.
Qi Xing snorted and looked away.
Lin Zhinian looked at Qi Xing who appeared carelessly and finally came back to his senses. A surge of anger suddenly surged in his heart. He had waited outside for more than an hour, and the words he had just said suddenly became extremely ironic at this moment. Perhaps they were just a joke in the eyes of the two people in front of him.
"Why are you here? Why are you eavesdropping on us?"
"I've been here the whole time. I came here first," Qi Xing said innocently in the face of Lin Zhinian's questioning. "Teacher Lin, please be reasonable. I'm here and I heard you talking. How can that be called eavesdropping? Ye Xingzhou didn't chase me away."
"Don't make excuses!" Lin Zhinian was indignant and even gritted his teeth. This young master Qi was born with good fortune. He was spoiled by his parents and had a powerful godfather who spoiled him. He had everything he wanted, but he insisted on snatching Ye Xingzhou from him. Why?
Qi Xing said with a "tsk". "If you ask me, Teacher Lin, you mentioned a lot of things Ye Xingzhou did for you back then, but what did you do for him? Didn't you leave anyway? Well, you were forced to do this, but my mom really likes to watch it. I don't think he would be interested in someone like Ye Xingzhou. Love is not as practical as money. If you don't make money, you're just laying eggs. What kind of revenge is this? Teacher Lin, you think too highly of yourself and look down on the charm of money.
Ah, and, although I don’t understand the literary and artistic thoughts of you intellectuals, I would like to advise you that it is better to live a more sunny life. If two people who are both living in darkness are forced to be together, isn’t that just a way to become depressed? ”
Lin Zhinian was so angry at being insulted by him that he could hardly stand. His face flushed red. Just as he was about to refute, he heard Ye Xingzhou laugh. He subconsciously looked over and saw that this man only had Qi Xing in his eyes. He seemed to be amused by Qi Xing's words, and his expression was happy and relaxed, which was something he had never seen in Ye Xingzhou, not even back then.
Lin Zhinian was speechless for a moment, and after a long pause, he managed to find his voice and asked Qi Xing, "So what is the situation now? You are a playboy who only has a three-minute enthusiasm. Do you know what true love is?"
Qi Xing shrugged: "You said I was just playing around, I was chasing you before, but you didn't believe that the person I was chasing was really you. Now it's the same with Ye Xingzhou, isn't it? We are just playing around, do you think I have to fight to the death?"
The more he spoke so nonchalantly, the more Lin Zhinian felt upset that he had offered his heart to Ye Xingzhou but was treated like a worn-out shoe. "Do you think so too?"
This time the person he asked was Ye Xingzhou.
Ye Xingzhou turned around, the smile on his face faded, and he said coldly: "It has nothing to do with you, so that's all. If there is nothing else, please go back."
Lin Zhinian finally saw clearly that there was indeed no longer any ripple in Ye Xingzhou's eyes because of him, only indifference and annoyance.
When he clearly realized this, Lin Zhinian felt that all the strength in his body had been drained, and he was filled with chills and ashamed. He could not stay there for another second, and not wanting to be ridiculed and mocked, which would only make him even more annoying, he took two steps back, turned around and left quickly.
The footsteps faded away, and Qi Xing glanced coldly at Ye Xingzhou who was still sitting.
Ye Xingzhou grabbed his hand and helped him put on the cufflink that he had been holding in his hand.
Qi Xing watched his actions and suddenly said, "Young Master Ye originally wanted to embarrass your uncle and prevent others from plotting against your marriage, so he found someone to act out his sexual orientation and make it known to everyone. In fact, he could have found anyone, but why did he choose his ex-lover? Could it be that you were really planning to join their company at that time? It's not to the point where you, Young Master Ye, need to sacrifice your looks, right?"
Ye Xingzhou had already helped him button up his cufflinks and fiddled with them gently.
Qi Xing leaned over and moved closer, his face almost touching his, staring into his eyes, smiling: "Or do you actually have selfish motives, Master Ye?"
After staring at each other in silence for a moment, Qi Xing's smile became more playful, but Ye Xingzhou didn't care: "You think too much."
He raised his hand and stroked Qi Xing's chin. "If someone comes to my door, I'll just use him. If you find someone else, do you think the people in the Ye family will trust them so easily? As long as they don't bother me, it doesn't matter."
Qi Xing slapped his hand away, stepped back, stood up, and sneered: "Does that mean that everyone in the Ye family knows about the romantic things you and Teacher Lin had done back then? Yes, who would have thought that Young Master Ye was such a romantic back then? Running all over the city to buy birthday cakes, leaving home in the middle of the night to ride a bike to watch the sunrise outside the city, helping someone fight and dislocating his wrist, staying up all night to take care of patients, I almost applaud, it's so touching, Teacher Lin said that he left you out of helplessness, and the blame is on your dead father. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, shouldn't you regret it, rush up to hug him and make a true confession of love, and then reconcile and have a happy ending?"
The more he talked, the more sour it became. Qi Xing probably realized it and became more and more angry. He felt like the vicious male cannon fodder in that melodramatic drama, the kind who would be struck by lightning if he tried to break up someone's couple.
Ye Xingzhou leaned back in his chair, looked up at him, and noticed every subtle change in Qi Xing's expression.
It's not enough.
Ye Xingzhou: "I see you like watching the TV series your mother likes too. You are quite good at making up stories."
Qi Xing: "He said it himself, what am I making up?"
"I've watched the sunrise with you, helped you in fights, and taken care of you when you were in the hospital," Ye Xingzhou reminded him.
That's not the same thing at all.
Qi Xing sneered, "One last question. What were you thinking about during those ten seconds of silence after he finished speaking?"
Ye Xingzhou frowned.
Qi Xing didn't give him another chance to speak and kicked him again: "I'm going home, go play by yourself, bye."
Ye Xingzhou lowered his voice and asked, "Go home now?"
Qi Xing took out his phone and waved it in front of him: "My mother just sent me a WeChat message saying that something happened at home and asked me to go back now."
Ye Xingzhou grabbed his hand and said, "Stay."
Qi Xing smiled and pried open his fingers one by one, then opened WeChat to let him see clearly. It was indeed a message sent by his mother ten minutes ago.
Ye Xingzhou's face turned cold.
Qi Xing put away his phone.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, I can't accompany you tonight."
When the car drove out of the Ye Building, Qi Xing let out a long sigh, "You bastard Ye Xingzhou, go have fun by yourself."
With others, I sneaked out in the middle of the night and rode my bike to take people to the mountain outside the city to watch the sunrise. With him, I was going to pick him up to shoot cannons and watch the sunrise at the same time.
When you get along with others, you are helping them solve their problems. If someone dislocates his wrist during a fight, and you get involved with him and he almost gets chopped, it is only natural for you to help him block it.
With others, I would stay up all night to take care of them when they are sick, but with him, I would take advantage of him even when he is sick.
Compare yourself with others everywhere, and you will never be able to win.
Not to mention running all over the city to buy a cake for his birthday, I'm afraid he doesn't even know when his birthday is.
If Ye Xingzhou plays any tricks on him that make you think of him or Wan Wan like you, then get out of here.
He stepped on the accelerator hard and sped away without looking back.
