This time it’s an actual update hhhhh (sorry for the false updates b4)
Taking advantage of today’s changed shift, I left the European bank early and went to Zhao Gongzi’s company to observe the situation from the shadows.
Zhao Gongzi’s expression wasn’t very good and was very dark. Without a word, he sat before the office desk and stared at the phone in a daze. Hao Da timidly called his name a few times, but he didn’t seem to have heard him.
“Zhao Gongzi!” Hao Da had no choice but to raise his voice.
Zhao Gongzi snapped back to reality and cursed at him. “What the hell are you yelling for?!”
This was the normal Zhao Gongzi.
Zhao Gongzi frowned and asked, “What is it?”
Hao Da timidly and carefully said, “That is, Zhao Gongzi, the thing that you asked me to do, I completed it.”
Zhao Gongzi furrowed his brow. “Oh.”
Hao Da carefully asked, “Sir, you haven’t told Mr. Qiu about this thing yet, right?”
Zhao Gongzi coldly stared at him. This frightened him into backing up two steps. “N-no….no. What I mean is, it’ll be best if you talked about it clearly with Mr. Qiu.”
Zhao Gongzi grabbed hold of his tie, pulled it over and viciously said, “This time, if you dare tell a third person, then I’ll give you a gunshot to the head.”
Hao Da raised his hands in a panic, “I won’t say anything, I definitely won’t say anything, I won’t tell anyone!”
Zhao Gongzi coldly humphed. “My dad——”
“I won’t tell my uncle, and I definitely won’t tell Master Zhao Si!” Hao Da swore hastily, “I won’t even tell Mr. Qiu, I won’t tell anyone!”
Only then did Zhao Gongzi let him go.
Hao Da hesitantly looked at him for a while, then said, “I still feel that, a husband and wife for a night have a hundred days of grace, and a hundred years comes the fortune of sleeping on the same bed, some things have to be discussed openly. Perhaps it’s not to the point where you have to break up, and the situation is not so bad.”
Oh, so it’s already progressed to the point of breaking up. And yet, I’m the third person to know.
Wait, no. I should be the fourth to know.
The third to know is that person Zhao Long had an affair with.
I ate at a street stall before going back. When I did, Zhao Gongzi was already home. He sat on the sofa, raised his head to look at me, and didn’t, like he usually would, ask me where I went and who I secretly met up with after getting off from work instead of immediately coming back home.
Of course, since the one to secretly meet up with someone wasn’t me.
I walked towards the bedroom. All of a sudden, Zhao Gongzi said, “When you’ve finished taking a bath, come here, I have something to tell you.”
I paused in my steps, turned around and went to where he was sitting. “You can tell me now, then.”
He looked at me, then after a few beats, he said, “Go and take a bath first.”
“Tell me first.”
He fell silent, then said, “Okay——”
“Actually, I’ll go take a bath first.” I said.
“Okay.”
I solemnly took a bath.
I earnestly took a bath.
I thoroughly took a bath.
Until Zhao Gongzi knocked on the door and asked, “You still haven’t finished bathing?”
“I haven’t.”
“Oh. You’ve been bathing for three hours.”
This is my house, I pay the water fee. If I so wanted, I could soak in the bath for three months and no one could stop me!

“Stop.”
He stopped.
I stared at him.
He didn’t look at me.
The yellow lamplight made him look tall and handsome. It was me who made him so handsome. I made him run every day to lose weight, otherwise, right now he’d still be a blurry-featured fattie, and wouldn’t have gotten the marathon award–the only thing in his whole life that he’d gotten through his own efforts.
But he doesn’t belong to me because of this.
The books are mine, the bed is mine, the bathtub is mine, but Zhao Long isn’t mine.
It was karma. I took him away from Master Zhao Si, and now someone else is taking him away from me.
In my youth, the person who’d bought me had taken me to get my fortune read and my eight words calculated. The fortune teller had said that I would bring him luck. He also said that I would bring luck to others, not to myself, and that I was a Scorpio lone star.
That’s fine, if I had to be with such an annoying person like Zhao Gongzi for the rest of my days, then it’d be preferable if I was a Scorpio lone star.
The low light of the lamp made people rash. I squashed down those impulses, then calmly said, “Then, let’s go to the living room to talk.”
Zhao Gongzi and I went to the living room and sat down on the sofa. He took out an envelope and pushed it over to me, then said, “My dad doesn’t know about this account, so you can withdraw money without any worry.”
“No need.”
He and I were just satisfying each other’s needs, I don’t need compensation. If I really needed compensation, he couldn’t give it to me anyways.
Maybe it was because the dust had settled and he didn’t need to pretend anymore, but Zhao Gongzi wasn’t reserved and subdued anymore. He frowned and slightly raised his voice. “If I give it to you, then take it!”
I didn’t need to pretend anymore either and said, “I said I won’t take it, so I won’t.”
“Laozi’s giving it to you, so just take it!”
“Don’t want it.”
“Do you want it or not?!”
“Don’t want it.”
“If you keep being like this, then Laozi will kill you!”
“Zhao Long, if you have the guts then beat me to death, if I don’t die, then you have to take on my last name!”
Zhao Gongzi and I both sat down on the sofa, took a while to calm ourselves down, then restarted the discussion.
“I’m giving it to you, so take it.”
“Don’t want it.”
“You won’t be able to stay here. My dad won’t let you go, you need this money.”
“If you explained clearly to Master Zhao Si and said that you want to break up, then why would he not let me go?”
Zhao Gongzi said, “I won’t say it.”
I said, “If you have the guts to do it, then you should have the guts to say it.”
Zhao Gongzi hollered at me, “Who doesn’t have enough guts?! Laozi’s gotten capped with such a big green hat and now Laozi has to announce it to the world?! Doesn’t Laozi need to save any face?! Qiu Yixin, don’t go too far!”
I calmly looked at him for a bit.
Zhao Gongzi cursed me, “What the hell are you looking at?!”
I calmly said, “First, calm down and tell me this: when, at what place and by who were you cheated on by?”
There was something strange in this situation.
That was what I surmised.
Zhao Gongzi got up and viciously flung the blanket on the sofa onto the ground. “How the hell would Laozi know how many times you’ve cheated on Laozi?!”
He picked up the blanket, then viciously flung it onto the ground once more. “Laozi doesn’t want to know where you cheated on Laozi!”
He picked up the blanket again, then viciously flung it onto the ground. “If Laozi knew who you cheated on me with, then Laozi would have already given him a bullet to the fucking head!”
This matter truly did have some strangeness.
I concluded.
I calmly opened the envelope. Inside was an international cheque for a great sum and two boat tickets.
Zhao Gongzi’s expression darkened, and stared at me coldly. And then drilled holes with his eyes into the boat tickets in my hands.
I thought it over, then asked, “So the matter that was going to be discussed clearly with me that you and Hao Da were talking about was that you thought I had an affair with someone?”
Zhao Gongzi hollered, “He sold me out again?!”
“If he had sold you out, then I would have known that the thing you talked about with him was this, and not that you had an affair with someone.”
“I——” Zhao Gongzi paused, then continued hollering at me, “Qiu Yixin, don’t you fucking dare make a bogus accusation at a time like this!”
“First, sit down. Let’s slowly talk this over.”
I lovingly continued, “Zhao Long, you need to eat more walnuts. From today onwards, you need to eat at least five walnuts per day.”
Zhao Gongzi shouted at me, “Fuck eating!”
“Firstly, we need to be clear about something. Have you or haven’t you had an affair?”
Zhao Gongzi cursed at me, “Fuck, you’re trying to frame me again!”
“Secondly, the next thing that we need to determine is: how did you determine that I had an affair? And what’s more, how come you’re so certain about it?”
Every day Zhao Gongzi suspects that me and all kinds of lovers are working together to assassinate him. As such, he hollers at me and curses me every day, instead of giving me huge cheques and ship tickets.
Zhao Gongzi stared at me, brows furrowed. Finally, he seemed to have calmed down. “You said it yourself, are you going to deny it?”
“And what’s more, we need to ascertain a third thing, having dreams is inevitable, dream talk can’t be taken seriously.”
Zhao Gongzi hollered at me, “Qiu Yixin, you fucker! Even in your dreams you’re cheating on Laozi?!”
I haven’t! It’s just better to be safe than sorry! Who knows if your pig head will or will not take my dream mumbles, that even I don’t know about, and take them seriously?!!
Zhao Gongzi picked up the blanket once again, and savagely threw it at me while hollering, “It’s true that I’m somewhat tired, it’s probably very hard for me to keep going on! It’s already a type of burden for me!”
These words really do seem a bit familiar.
Zhao Gongzi took the newspaper from the coffee table, tore it in half, balled one half up and pelted it at me while hollering, “He probably can’t change! Before you, there have been many other people and happenings, but he doesn’t care, and still does as he always has! Qiu Yixin, tell me who have been before him! Laozi knew that you and Jin Xian’er and Huo Feng couldn’t be innocent! And Zhao Wu! And that shitty eunuch!! And that guy from your bank, and that classmate of yours—fuck you, Qiu Yixin! Is it that Laozi doesn’t care?! Laozi regrets not killing you!”
It was sounding more and more familiar.
Zhao Gongzi balled up the other half of the newspaper and pelted it at me, while hollering, “Wait till Zhao Long’s birthday passes to say it! Laozi’s not celebrating this birthday! Birthday my ass! Why don’t you go and submit an article to the newspaper announcing that you’ve given me a green hat on Laozi’s birthday ?!”
If this was his birthday wish, then I could consider it.
Zhao Gongzi looked around, saw that there was nothing suitable to throw, came over and pulled the blanket from my arms, then used the blanket to slap my back, all the while continuing to holler at me, “He can’t do anything even if he doesn’t agree! It’s not like he can really do anything to me! If he truly was going to do something to me, then I can do nothing but let him! Do you think that Laozi doesn’t dare to do anything to you? Laozi is going to kill you right now!”
Me ：“……”
Zhao Gongzi continued to hit me with the blanket and continued to holler, “It’s just that I’m too tired! I’m truly too tired! It’s not that I need money, it’s just that Zhao Long spends too much money! Who can do anything about that, Laozi’s fucking Zhao Gongzi! Did Laozi force you to make money?! Wasn’t it you that said that you wanted to earn money and give me money to prove your independence and equality?!”
Me：“……”
I attempted to explain, “This is a misun——”
“Misunderstanding your mom!” Zhao Gongzi furiously hurled the blanket towards me, “Should Laozi thank you for saying that Laozi isn’t unreasonable and petty?! This thing doesn’t have anything to do with my dad, fuck, it has nothing to do with anyone! You can run away with whoever the hell you want! Laozi is fucking done!”
Me：“……”
Zhao Gongzi finished hurling the blanket, finished cursing at me, turned around and was about to angrily storm out of the apartment. I hurriedly got up and stopped him, but my foot slipped and both of us went down and crashed onto the sofa.
Zhao Gongzi cursed at me, “You’re still fucking laughing?!”
Zhao Gongzi cursed at me, “Scram!”
Zhao Gongzi cursed at me, “Don’t lean on top of me, scram! Qiu Yixin, piss off right now!”
Zhao Gongzi cursed at me, “You fucker, you’re still laughing! Laozi’s going to kill you!”
I controlled myself with difficulty and said, “That phone call was a misunderstanding, I was talking about Headmaster Qian.”
After I said that, I couldn’t help but continue laughing.
Zhao Gongzi bellowed in fury, “You’d even fucking go for that Qian guy?! Qiu Yixin you——”
I didn’t let Zhao Gongzi finish.
He really is way too annoying. Just because of such a thing, he wasted about half a month of my ‘resting’ time for nothing.
Zhao Gongzi’s journal:
……
Fuck, Qiu Yixin is so fucking annoying. Laozi doesn’t like eating walnuts.
The author has something to say:
The second season is complete here～
Dunno when there will be a third season, so I’ll just tag this as completed~
(At first, I just wanted to write a few little extras, but then I wrote so much, even I’m super surprised hhhh)
Rinrin: Aaaaand we’re done! This is the end of Season 2. The next three chapters are more like extras than an actual plot continuation. Hope you’ve all enjoyed the ride!

Overall, will miss the story. Can’t believe I won’t read about this due much longer. And sorry for my rants/review
Also fuck autocorrect.🤬

Why do I imagine Zhao Gongzi throwing a tantrum and slapping Qiu Yixin’s back with a blanket like a kid a little cute?
because he is cute!!! Classic all bark and no bite.
y’know, it’s the gap moe (反差萌）
Hahahaha. So cute even when he’s easily scammed. Look at how Qiu Yixin stole him from his father. Hahahaha.
