Chapter 56 The naive Xu Wenci didn't even experience the "love crematorium."
The crowd pushed and shoved each other, arguing.
"How could Xu Wenci suddenly dare to do that? He usually seems so quiet." Someone seemed to be pointing at him.
Those eyes were fixed on his back, but scattered the moment he turned around, and went to a more secluded place to continue their condemnation of him.
"Don't let his quiet and unassuming demeanor fool you; I've heard that the more unassuming a person is, the more ruthless they can be when they get down to business..."
"Ah...so everyone says he killed someone, is that true? I heard the police even came..."
The person involved stood there, stunned, without any reaction.
They were even more dissatisfied, as if simply avoiding the person in the rumors was not enough to prove their attitude towards the matter. They shoved each other, taking the opportunity to push Xu Wenci, the person involved.
He did not kill anyone.
Xu Wenci murmured.
"I didn't kill anyone..."
I just... I just saw that person jump.
He simply... witnessed that person jump off the roof that afternoon when he went to the rooftop.
That person is not a student at the school.
He was just a temporary worker who came to the school to repair light bulbs.
Xu Wenci curled up in the cold corner, as if that would block out all sight. He kept his head down, staring at the mottled patterns on the ground, without uttering a word.
But his eyes remained stubborn.
He did nothing.
At that time, he was unaware of the existence of the script that controlled his destiny.
His fate, all his misfortunes, actually stemmed from the script.
He knew nothing about it.
This naiveté remained until he met Fu Yanli at the age of twenty-seven, when it was completely shattered.
Just as the script described, he became obsessed with Fu Yanli.
Fu Yanli descended like a god and then saved him.
At that time, he was genuinely not averse to Fu Yanli's touch.
Perhaps for this reason, his love reached its peak.
But the script insisted on being that way.
Fu Yanli insisted on doing it that way.
As he plunged the dagger into Fu Yanli's heart, he began to loathe Fu Yanli's touch.
Warm, viscous blood soaked his clothes, and bright red blood stained his entire palm. The strong, metallic smell in his nostrils was so pungent that it made his stomach churn with nausea. This nausea gave rise to a destructive ferocity he had never felt before.
How disgusting.
It makes me want to vomit.
He felt so nauseous that he wanted to punch Fu Yanli repeatedly until he was covered in blood and gore.
He couldn't stop talking about Fu Yanli.
Xu Wenci covered his face and closed his eyes.
He was absolutely terrible in the last world.
The same applies to this world.
But why did Fu Yanli teach him to fight in the previous world?
Why is Fu Yanli so obsessed with unraveling his inner turmoil even though he was clearly killed by him?
Why does Fu Yanli, knowing that he couldn't resolve his inner conflict in the previous world, continue to solve this problem that Fu Yanli is completely unaware of in this world?
He won't tell Fu Yanli.
He really killed someone.
At the age of twenty-nine, he finally fell silent.
The photo Aunt Ye gave him was a piece of his past that he most wanted to erase.
During that time, he thought about how he really wanted to transfer schools and go somewhere where no one knew him, so he could live a good life.
However, his tuition and living expenses were all sponsored by kind-hearted people.
He is not qualified to ask such a question.
Fu Yanli wasn't asking why some people felt disgusted when they were around him, was he?
It's because it's disgusting.
There is no other reason.
Because those people are disgusting.
The existence of that group of people, their aura, everything about them made him feel incredibly disgusted.
He hates being touched.
"In the previous world, Xu Wenci couldn't be touched by anyone else, and it's the same in this world, but it's clearly not because of the script..."
During the three-day car journey, Fu Yanli leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes, pretending to doze off.
But he couldn't help but think that Xu Wenci couldn't be touched by him.
It must not be touched.
I don't want to be touched.
Why?
In the previous world, it seemed that he simply couldn't be touched by anyone other than himself.
Looking back now, it's astonishing that Xu Wenci actually believed his clumsy excuse at the auction.
This is nothing like the perceptive yet distrustful person he used to be.
It's definitely not the script's fault.
There are no rules or regulations.
The most likely reason is Xu Wenci's psychological state.
Did he make him sad?
He blinked, gripped his hands tightly, and unconsciously pinched his fingers.
"Boss," the driver said with a smile, glancing at Fu Yanli in the rearview mirror, "you're in such a hurry to go to Suzhou, is there some business opportunity?"
“No,” Fu Yanli tilted his head and rubbed his temples, “You wouldn’t tell my mom, would you…”
"No, young master," the driver said, now addressing him as young master. "Although Madam is very worried about you, she still believes that you can protect yourself."
"Stop flattering me," Fu Yanli took out his phone, unlocked it, and opened the photo album, wanting to see if there were any new photos, but this time, there weren't. He just frowned slightly and continued the topic, "You just need to protect Xu Wenci."
“But Mr. Xu Wenci is indeed very skilled; you can tell he’s trained,” the driver said. “He easily shook us off.”
Fu Yanli raised an eyebrow. Of course.
He taught Xu Wenci.
Xu Wenci is very capable; he has always been very talented when it comes to fighting.
He's much better than him.
Unfortunately, he was a ghost.
Otherwise, Xu Wenci would definitely have beaten him up badly back then, and beaten him up every day.
"After you drop me off, go and rest. You don't need to come with me."
The driver disagreed: "Young master, you're unfamiliar with this place..."
Fu Yanli was speechless. "This isn't my first time here."
Fu Yanli sat up straight, his brows furrowing slightly: "Tell me, what exactly did my mother send you here for..."
The driver hesitated for a moment before answering truthfully, "Madam asked me to come and see Mr. Xu Wenci."
Fu Yanli smiled and said, "I'm not here to see Xu Wenci."
What?! The seme wasn't here to pursue the uke... Thumbs down! Thumbs down! Thumbs down!
I came here to see the "love-chasing crematorium" [angry][angry][angry]
Fu Yanli frowned, probably because the viewers in the live chat had no idea what he had done wrong.
The people in the live chat probably don't know what he did.
So, in the eyes of the viewers, what wrong thing did he do?
Perhaps it's because of the white moonlight...
This reason...
hiss.
Anyone could see that the "white moonlight" is fake.
Fu Yanli answered the driver's question with a calm expression.
The driver was speechless: "..."
“Stop guessing,” Fu Yanli looked away, gazing at the street scene rushing past the window. But he couldn’t help thinking about his mother’s fickle attitude towards Xu Wenci. So he looked up at the driver’s questioning eyes and made up a story: “I’m here to relax and clear my head.”
“Young Master, things are not peaceful with the Fu family right now, and Old Master Qiao is also eyeing us covetously. Not to mention your current cooperation with the Su family. Do these things put any pressure on you?”
"No." Fu Yanli remained calm.
The driver was speechless again: "..."
“Don’t talk nonsense,” Fu Yanli finally told the truth, “I did go to see Xu Wenci.”
The driver nodded: "Young master, keep up the good work."
Fu Yanli couldn't understand his mother's thoughts. One moment she disagreed with Xu Wenci being with him, the next she silently reminded him not to mistreat Xu Wenci, and then she urged him to pursue Xu Wenci.
However, he didn't come here to chase after Xu Wenci; he came to find someone.
Tutoring center in the west of the city.
Fu Yanli withdrew his gaze and silently recited these words in his heart.
Li Suhe.
It is Xu Wenci's mother's name.
According to reports, Li Suhe's parents died in a car accident when she was eighteen. After entering university, she worked part-time as a dance tutor and her life was not easy.
The reasons why he got together with Xu Wenci's father are somewhat complicated.
Li Suhe is a person who is easily moved to pity.
The same applies to Xu Wenci's father.
She was soft-hearted and treated Xu Wenci's father, who was also a tutor at the time, as a friend. She was also soft-hearted and accepted his pursuit. She was also soft-hearted and gave birth to the child.
However, Li Suhe, who had always been soft-hearted, suddenly ran away.
What exactly is the reason?
How could Li Suhe possibly escape on her own?
If Li Suhe simply left normally, why did she lie to Xu Wenci that his mother was dead?
They must be hiding something.
Once Li Suhe was found, everything became clear.
All the questions Xu Wenci wanted to know were answered.
Fu Yanli searched for a long time without closing his eyes.
Not sleeping for a long time is not a very uncomfortable thing for Fu Yanli.
But today, he happened to catch a cold.
CEOs are generally not sick.
Every time I get sick, it's exceptionally severe.
He planned to buy two boxes of medicine first.
There's no rush to find Li Suhe.
Being too hasty can easily lead to losing your composure.
Shaking his head, Fu Yanli vaguely saw that the space around him seemed to be distorted, and in the distorted and blurry world, he could only perceive that Xu Wenci had appeared in front of him.
However, it seems that Xu Wenci will not resist.
Separated by a transparent glass panel.
He couldn't see clearly and squinted slightly.
The pain in his head made him close his eyes involuntarily, but he eagerly opened them the next second.
But no, the world remains distorted.
Someone was shoving Xu Wenci.
Xu Wenci simply stood there, motionless.
Despite being pushed into a corner, he stubbornly kept his head down and didn't say a word.
He did not shed a tear.
He didn't clench his fist either.
It seems that they just treat this as a very ordinary thing.
This is the Xu Wen Ci that the script was satisfied with.
They will not resist, they will not shout.
But I always want to live.
Because they wanted to live, they endured everything, so they didn't shout or resist.
However, Xu Wenci is not like that.
This is Xu Wenci, controlled by the script.
Before he could even think, his leg had already stepped forward, and he quickly stepped forward, shielding the cowering figure behind him.
Despite his headache blurring his vision, he forced a single word through gritted teeth, enduring the dizziness: "Get out!"
He couldn't see their expressions; their faces were distorted into a chaotic shadow in his eyes.
But he couldn't see Xu Wenci's expression either. He blinked, trying to see clearly, but all he could see was a blur.
He didn't know exactly what happened afterward, only that those people left.
Xu Wenci, his face blurred, sobbed softly.
Everything before his eyes gradually became clear, as if light had pierced through the illusion before him. Xu Wenci's eyebrows and eyes carried an immature sharpness, as well as a familiarity that startled him.
That's when he realized it.
It turns out that Xu Wenci was quite naive.
So innocent that there was no hatred in her eyes, nor any complex, incomprehensible depth.
It was just Xu Wenci who was controlled by the script.
He shook his head, his fingers trembling slightly.
He saved Xu Wenci now, but what about after that?
Will Xu Wenci still have to do this afterward?
His head was spinning even more, so he bit his lip, forcing himself to stay awake.
He didn't have time to think any further, he just gripped Xu Wenci's shoulders tightly, completely unaware that his hands were trembling violently: "My name is Fu Yanli, I'm the president of the Fu Group. You can come to me if you need anything."
The next second, he could no longer hold on and, with a cry of alarm, lost consciousness.
The strong smell of disinfectant made him frown and try to open his eyes, but he found it was all in vain.
He took a few deep breaths and finally opened his eyes. A few groggy words reached his ears before the light in front of him even appeared:
"This is Beitai in Haicheng... Someone has fainted..."
Haicheng?
Isn't he in Suzhou?
oh.
He just saw Xu Wenci from the script.
Xu Wenci was in Haicheng.
So... he was just dreaming...
That's not right...
It's not a dream.
He only saved Xu Wenci once.
In that case...
Fu Yanli pursed his lips.
Fu Yanli, I've saved you more than once.
I met you in Suzhou, the same city I met a year ago in Haicheng.
Haicheng.
The Su family.
"President Su, why are you cooperating with Fu Yanli? He doesn't seem as reliable as his daughter!" Su Anlan blinked, sitting next to her father, her tone clearly dissatisfied.
"I'm not cooperating with him, it's just that Old Master Qiao's plan is too dangerous. If we don't cooperate with him, we can only cooperate with Fu Yanli. We have to choose sides to ensure our safety," Old Master Su explained patiently.
Grandpa Su always doted on his youngest biological daughter, who had been lost since childhood.
If this youngest daughter hadn't gone missing, she wouldn't have had to suffer so much.
"What exactly is the plan? Why didn't you tell me?" Su Anlan always asked these kinds of questions directly, and if she couldn't get the answer, she would keep pressing for details.
"Old Master Qiao's purpose is very complicated. It's not simply about squeezing out the Fu family. I don't know the specifics, but I do know that he probably intends to kill Fu Yanli. He feels that the Fu family is entirely supported by Fu Yanli, but he seems to say that he has to kill Fu Yanli first, so he has been planning to capture Fu Yanli."
Su Anlan was drinking water and almost choked when she heard this.
Why is Old Master Qiao getting less and less intelligent as he gets older? He personally killed Fu Yanli.
The probability of this happening is 0.
It's not as likely as Grandpa Qiao wishing that Fu Yanli would be struck by lightning.
"Old Master Qiao's plan..." Su Anlan smiled, "...he seems to be getting a little senile..."
Grandpa Su wasn't very old, but he was of a high generation. He raised an eyebrow, his smile showing a hint of indulgence, "Only you would dare to scold me like that."
Su Anlan raised her head, somewhat puzzled, "Dad, you asked my eldest brother to cooperate with Fu Yanli, but why did he have Yi Pei negotiate the cooperation for him?"
"The Yi family and the Fu family are so closely related that they can almost be considered one entity. However, it is not easy for others to use one family to get close to the other. Fu Yanli gave this opportunity to the Su family so easily, which shows that his ambition is not only aimed at the Qiao family."
Author's note: I've been revising the story a lot lately, to the point of feeling nauseous.
But the sense of accomplishment is incredibly strong every time I finish revising a chapter. [Sunglasses]
