Chapter 63
Gu Zhun asked for leave for Lin Yuxin. Gu Zhun stayed in the hospital that day. He sat by the bed, looking at Lin Yuxin, who was desperate, and couldn't say a word.
He truly treated Lin Yuxin as his younger brother, and as a good friend he had made on the show. He understood that everyone would be confused about some things, but as long as they could find their way back, it would be fine. However, Lin Yuxin didn't seem to be like that.
He seemed to be possessed by a demon, and no matter how Gu Zhun insulted him, he didn't react at all.
Gu Zhun was so anxious that he jumped up and down the wall. "Are you sick? Lin Yuxin, look at yourself now. You are in such a state and you are still stubborn! Let me ask you, do you still remember why you came here? Do your parents back home know about your current situation?"
When Lin Yuxin mentioned his parents, he finally showed some reaction. He twisted his neck mechanically and said to Gu Zhun in a hoarse voice, "No, don't tell them."
He begged Gu Zhun, tears welling up in his eyes.
After saying that, Lin Yuxin began to cry uncontrollably again.
His tears were so hot that they burned Gu Zhun's skin.
Gu Zhun took care of Lin Yuxin in the hospital for two days. He did not return to the dormitory during these two days and just stayed in the hospital. On the first night, Gu Zhun was lying on the narrow accompanying bed and heard Lin Yuxin crying, who was only separated by a curtain.
He cried from twelve o'clock to two in the morning. His sobs were so heartbreaking. A fifteen-year-old boy should have been unrestrained and high-spirited.
That night, Gu Zhun did not sleep the whole night and his whole body ached. He listened to Lin Yuxin crying and sighing all night long.
The next night, Gu Zhun was getting ready for bed and decided to talk to Lin Yuxin again before going to bed, at least to ease his mind and get a good night's sleep. But unexpectedly, before Gu Zhun could even begin to speak, Lin Yuxin spoke first.
"Brother, I know I was wrong." Lin Yuxin said that he knew he was wrong, but he turned over and turned his back to Gu Zhun, "Brother, I'm sorry."
There was a long silence.
Gu Zhun was still holding the hot handkerchief in his hand, and the handkerchief was still steaming.
He didn't say anything, waiting for Lin Yuxin's next words.
But unfortunately, after Lin Yuxin finished saying these words, he fell silent.
Gu Zhun understood that this turning over meant that he didn't want to talk anymore.
So in the end, Gu Zhun just put the towel into the basin and told Lin Yuxin to have a good sleep tonight.
Lin Yuxin hummed very softly, like a feather falling to the ground, without any sound or splash.
The next day, Gu Zhun left and went back to continue training.
He saw Zhong Tianpei still practicing as if nothing had happened, accepting the praise and compliments from those around him. When he saw Gu Zhun, he even smiled faintly. Gu Zhun felt nauseous and ran to the toilet to vomit for a long time.
Gu Zhun had never thought he would meet such a person, hypocritical and dark, vicious and superficial. Gu Zhun applied to change dormitories, but was rejected, saying that he should not make trouble. So Gu Zhun returned to the dormitory and saw Zhong Tianpei, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He gloated, "Don't waste your energy. How could the production team care about those things? Gu Zhun, don't pretend to be kind anymore. Seeing Lin Yuxin like that, aren't you happy?"
Gu Zhun: "What did you say?" He was simply being unreasonable. Gu Zhun looked at Zhong Tianpei and wanted to kill him the next second.
Zhong Tianpei suddenly became more patient and began to explain: "You know I like you, so why do you want to get so close to others? What do you think? Aren't you doing this on purpose to irritate me? You know I have a bad temper. You can't have anyone else around you except me. I like you so much that I even went to bed with that disgusting person for you. Did you know that I was calling your name in bed and fucking the person you like? Rounding it off, that was you, wasn't it, hahahaha. Looking at that embarrassed guy Lin Yuxin, I couldn't help but feel happy. What a bitch, he dared to seduce in front of me. Look now, isn't he asking for trouble?"
Gu Zhun's mind went blank. What on earth could this mean? Zhong Tianpei had been thinking this way from the beginning to the end. So what was Lin Yuxin's sincerity worth?
The boy who was full of happiness in his heart and eyes, the boy who once told himself that he liked him, was wiped out by Zhong Tianpei's humiliation again and again, and now only a disheartened boy is left.
Gu Zhun looked at Zhong Tianpei, a man with many girlfriend fans. He looked at Zhong Tianpei with almost disbelief, but Zhong Tianpei seemed to be amused by him and said in a sinister and paranoid tone: "Why, are you surprised that I like you so much? Yes, you are so high and mighty, but if you can like such a little bitch, I am not worthy of liking you? Gu Zhun, I hate the look of yours the most, you are so self-righteous, but I really fucking like to see you get humiliated. Tell me," Zhong Tianpei suddenly stepped forward, "what kind of sight is it to see someone like you tied to the bed?"
Gu Zhun felt humiliated when he heard this. He subconsciously slapped the man, but afterward he regretted touching such a pile of shit with his own hands.
"Zhong Tianpei, no one has ever taught you—"
At this time, Gu Zhun's cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was a call from the hospital. Suddenly, he had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.
Sure enough, the hospital called and said Lin Yuxin was missing.
Gu Zhun quickly hung up the phone and was about to turn around to look for Lin Yuxin when Zhong Tianpei grabbed his wrist. He said calmly, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's just lost. It's better than dead."
Because the other party's tone was so natural and casual, Gu Zhun immediately grasped the key information.
Gu Zhun shook off Zhong Tianpei's hand and asked in a high voice, "What did you do?"
Zhong Tianpei suddenly revealed an innocent look like a child, "I told him, if he doesn't die, I will kill you."
"You can't blame me for this, it's your fault. It's you. Why didn't you look at me? If you had looked at me, he wouldn't have died." Zhong Tianpei talked to himself, asking why over and over again. Gu Zhun cursed him as a lunatic, then quickly ran out to find Lin Yuxin.
Because of the development of this matter, Gu Zhun felt that it was bound to become a big deal, so he notified the program team. Then, the program team began to send people out to look for Zhong Tianpei. Zhong Tianpei was locked in the dormitory and was not allowed to go anywhere.
But later, when Gu Zhun went to the hospital, he only saw a letter left by Lin Yuxin. The letter was halting and said nothing, concealing everything that had happened during this period. The letter then asked Gu Zhun and his parents to tell them that he committed suicide because he could not bear the pressure of practice.
Gu Zhun hid the letter because he didn't want the program crew to know about it.
Lin Yuxin was found at one o'clock in the afternoon. His body was floating on the lake. His whole body was swollen and he looked like a ghost.
This incident caused a huge uproar, and the program even stopped recording for a week. The management was urgently trying to find a solution, after all, someone died here.
The producers wanted to push Zhong Tianpei out, after all, he was the one who caused the incident. This plan was agreed by many people at the beginning, but Gu Zhun did not express his opinion because he knew that no one could give him the justice he wanted.
So just when they were about to implement this plan, the big boss above suddenly said that Zhong Tianpei could not be touched. His popularity could bring great commercial value now, and asked them to think of a new solution.
So this plan was aborted, and the producer came up with the idea overnight to silence the gossips by saying that Lin Yuxin was not able to withstand pressure. After all, countless people could not withstand such high-intensity training. At most, it could only be said that Lin Yuxin was too weak and committed suicide because he was too depressed.
Gu Zhun watched these hypocritical faces weeping in front of the camera. They said they felt sorry for the young man's passing, but if it hadn't happened, they wouldn't have even known Lin Yuxin's name. And Lin Yuxin's pitifully few fans wouldn't have had time to grieve before someone new would take his place and become the new trainee.
Until the end of this matter, only his parents and Gu Zhun were sad about the departure of this young man.
Gu Zhun thought, why did God let such a thing happen in front of him again, watching his sister commit suicide, and then watching his new brother commit suicide.
What kind of punishment is this and what did he do wrong?
Lin Yuxin's funeral was held in his hometown. His parents took the ashes back without saying a word. Both of their eyes were swollen from crying, but Gu Zhun finally did not tell the truth behind it.
How to say it, Lin Yuxin was forced to death because of emotional problems. After thinking about it, it seems that she could not bear the pressure brought by the show.
At this moment, Gu Zhun suddenly felt that he was also an accomplice. He knew the truth but was unable to tell them the truth.
For a long time after this incident, Gu Zhun would dream about Lin Yuxin late at night. He dreamed of their first meeting, with Lin Yuxin alone in a corner. If he had not been so self-righteous as to make friends with him, would this incident not have happened? Or if he had not introduced Zhong Tianpei to him, would all this have been avoided?
Gu Zhun couldn't figure it out, but he should have figured it out because Lin Yuxin had already answered him this question.
On the first night when he stayed by her bedside, Lin Yuxin, after crying, said to the sleeping Gu Zhun, "Brother, I will still know him, whether you are here or not. Don't blame yourself. No matter what, I think I will like him in the beginning."
Lin Yuxin thought Gu Zhun was asleep and said a lot of things.
He complained and blamed him, but later he denied all of this and calmed himself down again, saying that it had nothing to do with Gu Zhun.
At that time, Gu Zhun could only close his eyes and force himself not to be discovered, but now he can cover his face and ignore those trivial things.
Lin Yuxin's matter became the biggest thorn between Zhong Tianpei and Gu Zhun.
The trainees only knew that Lin Yuxin committed suicide because of his poor stress resistance, and that Gu Zhun was an unreasonable person. They blamed the whole thing on Zhong Tianpei. None of them knew what role Zhong Tianpei played in all this, nor did they know what kind of dark heart was hidden under that skin. They only knew that with one person gone, there was less competition, and that Zhong Tianpei was not someone to be trifled with, and that there seemed to be someone behind him.
From then on, Gu Zhun was isolated and helpless in this program. He could only use his best results to break out of this terrifying place.
Lin Yuxin became the person he never talked about, but from time to time, Zhong Tianpei would appear in front of Gu Zhun and say some vague words, and occasionally, he would use Lin Yuxin to provoke him.
But most of the time, Gu Zhun could just ignore it, except this time when Zhong Tianpei took out the pen that was stuck in Lin Yuxin's body.
