I could only wander around by myself, and think about my situation.
In reality, Zhao Gongzi has been needlessly overthinking. I had prepared to dress more handsomely in order to get closer to Miss Yu, in order to re-invoke some of the old feelings Miss Yu has hidden deep within her heart. After all, other than representing the President, Miss Yu was also participating in the opening ceremony of a middle school that the President had set up in this city. I hoped that Miss Yu could recommend me for the role of instructor at that well-budgeted middle school, as I want to buy a new sofa covering.
But I don’t know when I’ll get a chance to speak with Miss Yu.
Some ladies passed by me and said, “Did Miss Yu go back upstairs to the guestroom to change?”
“They say it’s just changing clothes but…..”
“Isn’t Zhao Gongzi with……”
“What, can’t someone switch to eating vegetarian a bit?”
I didn’t mind their discussion, but, firstly, why am I a meat dish and Miss Yu a vegetarian dish? Secondly, why am I meat and why is Miss Yu vegetables?
I hurriedly went upstairs, and saw, from afar, Zhao Gongzi and Miss Yu fighting about something.
Goodbye, my instructor salary.
Goodbye, my sofa cover.
Goodbye, my kitty that I’d only need to save for 8 more months to get and raise.
I walked closer, and before they could notice me, I heard Zhao Gongzi say, “Just stop it and give up, you won’t be able to enter the Zhao family!”
If there was a second sentence then it would be Miss Yu saying, “Yixin understands me.”
If there was a third sentence then it would be Zhao Gongzi saying, “What fucking use is him understanding?! It has nothing to do with him!”
Well.
There wasn’t a fourth sentence.
If there was a fourth sentence, I would rather use the time it would take to listen to the fourth sentence to quietly leave, just as I had quietly come; with a sweep of my sleeve, unable to bring with me any of the clouds in the sky.
If there must be a fourth sentence, then it would be Miss Yu calling me in a surprised voice. “Yixin?”
The fifth sentence was asked by Zhao Gongzi. “What did you come here for?”
Yes, what did I come here for? Perhaps I came here to act as Uncle Da Li’s evidence.
Evidence that Zhao Gongzi has a childhood sweetheart his age, who is suited to him in terms of family background, who Zhao Gongzi is pure and intimate with, yet I despicably came in between them and tore them apart, and had forcefully robbed Zhao Gongzi of his virtue and reason.

There is no right or wrong when it comes to love, but the way in which you show your love has wrongs and rights; forcefully stealing it was wrong, without a doubt.

Sorry, I wasn’t able to understand that you meant the matter of Zhao Gongzi being on the side of Master Zhao Si, who was strongly backing the other President into becoming the President, and you being on the side of the President who had not yet become President when you were speaking about the cage of statuses.
“If we can’t freely and bravely pursue love, then why can we still cowardly and regulatorily keep on living? Yixin, do you think what I’m saying is right?”
Sorry, I misunderstood who you meant.
Miss Yu is a perfect lady. She’s the president’s niece, her personality was open and cheerful, she was a visionary, she had spent time studying abroad, and finished in the top three for beauty pageants. In addition, she courageously pushed me out of the way when Uncle Da Li backed up the car, giving me the chance to get in between her and Zhao Gongzi.
I hate Zhao Gongzi.
Why do so many people like him?! Just because he’s handsome? Without me, he would just be a fatty with a blurry shape! It’s because of me that he’s handsome, and so the handsome him belongs to me.
Love makes Miss Yu courageous and stylish, and makes me pitiful.
Zhao Gongzi asked me, brows furrowed, “Hey I’m talking to you, what did you come here for?”
Miss Yu kindly asked me, “Yixin, do you have something you needed me for?”
“Oh, he wants to go to that whatever it’s called school and be a teacher.”
It suddenly dawned on Miss Yu what he meant. “Of course! That’s perfect, we’ve been unable to find a suitable music teacher. I had originally thought of recommending Yixin, but you said that he has three jobs, and I was worried that he would be unable to handle more.”
Perhaps if I say this it’s pretentious, although I don’t mind using my own connections to others to obtain the salary that I want and my new sofa cover and my ⅛ kitty, I minded it a bit when Zhao Gongzi used his connections to obtain for me the salary that I want and my new sofa cover and my ⅛ kitty.
What’s more, Miss Yu was robbed of her love by me.
But, I was not a magnanimous person nor a noble person, I was just a person who would do anything to achieve their goal.
And so I gave a faint smile and said, “Many thanks.”
On the way back, Zhao Gongzi furrowed his brows as he asked me, “What is it now?”
I lightly smiled and replied, “Nothing much.”
Zhao Gongzi said, “If it’s nothing much then get off. Fuck, you got fatter again, eat, eat, eat, all you think about is eating. Are you a pig?”
I tightly held onto his neck.
“Fuck, we have a car yet we’re not taking it and you wanted to be carried. Fuck, do you think you’re still a kid?”
I glanced at the car driving slowly behind us, and said, “Tell Hao Da to go back. Tomorrow he still has to go to the company and hold a meeting.”
Zhao Gongzi cursed at me, “Is there something wrong with you? There are still three blocks before we reach home. Fuck, do you actually intend for me to carry you on my back the whole way?”
“Zhao Long, I love you.”
“Fuck, hang on tight and don’t fall! Did you not eat your fill tonight?”
I had already stolen Zhao Gongzi, unbidden, so it wasn’t as if I couldn’t abandon him without a goodbye as well. I was just a floating weed in this chaotic world, surviving on the favour and grace of the Zhao family, I should do it for the good of Zhao Gongzi’s future. In any case, he was so annoying.
Zhao Gongzi cursed at me, “Are you deaf? I asked if you ate enough during dinner! If you’re not full then tell Da Tou to buy something!”
And yet he was just so unreasonable, and definitely wouldn’t let me leave. I’m just a floating weed in this chaotic world, only surviving on the grace and favour of the Zhao family. And Zhao Gongzi is so annoying. If they didn’t let me leave, then I can’t leave.
Zhao Gongzi stopped, turned his head around and shouted at his past assistant and current manager, “Da Tou! Go and buy night snacks!”
I’m just a floating weed in this chaotic world, without any support or backing, if I do leave then I’ll have to bring Zhao Gongzi with me, that way when I have no money I can sell him. I’m so scheming and manipulative, and continued to lull him, “Zhao Long, I love you.”
Zhao Long suddenly said, “I really can’t carry you anymore! I just twisted my ankle. Da Tou!”
But Hao Da had already driven away, on his way to buy some late-night snacks.
Zhao Gongzi put me down, then threw the coat down on the steps and said, “Sit here and wait for him to come back. Fuck, it’s all your fault, you really are so fucking fussy.”
I won’t be moved, because that coat was mine and I bought it just last month.
Zhao Gongzi cursed at me, “Fuck, what are you looking at?! What’s the matter if Laozi sits on your coat? Is Laozi supposed to sit on the ground then?”
He’s so annoying, he threw down my coat yet is ‘complaining first as a villain’.
I picked up the coat and shoved it back into his arms, turned around and crouched down. “I’ll carry you back.”
Zhao Gongzi coldly asked, “Are you even able to carry me?”
“I’ll try.”
He wasn’t polite with me and just climbed on.
I thought that he was much heavier than me.
Zhao Gongzi coldly said, “Bullshit.”
I piggy-backed him with difficulty, and said, “I heard your conversation with Miss Yu.”
Zhao Gongzi fell silent for a long time, then said, “Don’t mind it.”
“I didn’t know at the time.”
“Hn, Laozi guessed that you didn’t know.”
I asked, “You knew?”
“There’s not much that Laozi doesn’t know.”
“Miss Yu took me as a friend back then.”
“She takes you as a friend now too.”
“I feel a bit guilty, after all.”
“What does it fucking have to do with you? Why the fuck’s sake are you getting guilty for?”
“She still treated me so well.”
“I’ve already said that it doesn’t have anything to do with you. Shit, how come you have so many crappy problems? Do you even have to mind the things that have nothing to do with you?”
“What involves you, involves me.”
“Laozi doesn’t even want to fucking care about it, yet you want to care about it? Don’t bring it up anymore, we’ll both forget about it!”
I could only stop continuing this train of conversation and said, “Zhao Long, I love you.”
Zhao Gongzi fell silent, then said, “Stop.”
I stopped, then watched as he went down, crouched in front of me and said, “My ankle is fine now.”
I asked, “Were you pretending just now? You just didn’t want to give me a piggyback? I already said that I love you, but you still didn’t want to piggyback me?”
Zhao Gongzi swore at me, “Fuck, you’re spouting so much crap. Are you getting on or not?”
Of course I’ll get on.
Zhao Gongzi continued forward with me on his back. After a long while, he said, “Me and my dad are different in regards to this kind of thing.”
Hmn? Why’re we suddenly talking badly about Master Zhao Si?
But whatever, I’m too lazy to ask.
Ah, I should instead carefully think about how I was going to reduce my feelings of guilt towards Miss Yu. I hope that she can come to recognize San Ge’s improvement, and can understand just how stubborn, backwards, close-minded, rude, arrogant, unreasonable and annoying Zhao Gongzi is. San Ge is the one who’s a passionate, lively new era youth.
Zhao Gongzi’s Journal:
Yu Huilan likes my dad. Why the heck do so many women like my dad?
Rinrin: Yeah, why??? He really must be handsome…a silver fox IG. Also, Yixin is so incredibly, vibrant green with jealousy in this chapter hhhhhhhh. Yes, yes, your Zhao Long is absolutely terrible so no one else could be with him, only you can stay by his side, oh but of course, it’s not because you love him to bits, it’s just because you’re indebted to the Zhao family, absolutely, that is the truth, definitely not because of love pssshhh
Vic: yeah this dude better be the hottest shit around for how much they obsess over him
Akane: This one took way too long for my taste….. And yet another flower has fallen to the ol’man’s charms or like I call him: “the one that had to f***ing interfere and leave problems all over the place”.
ahhh so I was right about the self-centered part. I was just wrong about the target lol
