Qin Zhou watched from the railing for a while, and then said to the person beside him: “Wanna go upstairs to eat?”
“Okay.” Su Tang responded. She turned around and left with Qin Zhou.
And just as the two left, He Yang in the lobby on the first floor seemed to notice something and looked up in the direction of the second floor.
It’s just that the staff on the second floor were all coming and going. When He Yang looked over, he could only see a receding figure disappearing into the corridor.
He Yang didn’t pay any more attention and continued to walk forward.
The manager led the way in front and quickly said, “Young Master He, the room is in the penthouse suite, I’ll take you there.”
After arriving in the penthouse suite, the assistant put away the luggage and took out the laptop and documents.
He Yang stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and was looking outside.
The top floor had a good view, and from this angle, one could see the layout of the entire villa.
He Yang habitually touched his pocket, but he didn’t find what he wanted in his pocket, and then he remembered that the wooden tag had been locked in the drawer by him.
He Yang lowered his head and looked at the palm of his hand.
There was nothing in his hand, and he was suddenly not used to it.
He Yang took out a cigarette and lit it.
The secretary had already sorted things out, so he came over and asked, “President He, do you want to go to the dining room?”
“M-hm.” He Yang responded.
The western dining room was on the seventh floor. When He Yang passed by, he had already missed lunch time, and there were not many people in the dining room.
However, the hotel manager specially prepared lunch for He Yang and asked the chef to bring it over.
Holding the knife and fork, He Yang was just about to cut the steak. But when he raised his head inadvertently, he was suddenly stunned.
The side of the dining room by the corridor was a floor-to-ceiling window. Through the window, He Yang saw a figure in the corridor outside——
Outside the window, a familiar-looking young man was smiling and talking to a young woman beside him.
The two were so close together that their relationship seemed close. They were like a couple in love.
He Yang stared at that figure in his field of vision. His hand holding the knife and fork tightened unknowingly.
It wasn’t until the figure of the man disappeared from sight that He Yang woke up a little.
Another hallucination.
***
After Qin Zhou left the dining room, he went with the crew to film.
The crew was filming at a nearby scenic spot, not too far from the hotel.
This time, he was still playing a Mary Sue online drama. He was still playing the second male lead, and Su Tang was the female lead.
Su Tang’s part in the afternoon was a little later, so she came later than Qin Zhou.

Qin Zhou was still reading the script, and handed over the hot water bottle.
“Thank you.” Su Tang hurriedly took the hot water bottle into her arms, and her body shrunk into a ball. She glanced at Qin Zhou’s script again, and sighed, “This is your third time acting as a spare tire…….”
“Yeah!” The little assistant on the side nodded quickly, “Brother Zhou is so pitiful. He always serves as a spare tire for Sister Su Su!”
This was the third collaboration between Qin Zhou and Su Tang, and during these three collaborations, Qin Zhou was the male supporting role, and served as a spare tire for the role played by Su Tang.
Su Tang smiled: “Maybe next time, he will be the male lead.”
Suddenly, Su Tang thought of something, and said to Qin Zhou: “By the way, did Brother Zheng tell you about the CP hyping?”
“He did.” Qin Zhou nodded.
He and Su Tang were both under the same agent, and they had collaborated on three works in a row, which was very suitable for hyping up CP. The agent had mentioned this to him in the past few days.
Su Tang asked: “Did you agree?”
“I don’t care.” Qin Zhou said lightly, “If you don’t mind, we will be an on-screen couple.”
“That’s fine.” Su Tang also didn’t care about it and said lightly: “I’m fine with anything, as long as I can make money.”
Su Tang moved closer to the stove, feeling a little warmer, and she chatted again: “When I just came, I saw that big shot again in the hotel.”
“Really?” Qin Zhou’s response was very flat, and he was still reading the script.
“I secretly asked the person at the front desk and they said that this person was their immediate boss who came from Nancheng.” Su Tang touched the hot water bottle and asked casually, “Have Zhou Zhou been to Nancheng?”
“No.” Qin Zhou turned a page of the script and didn’t care much.
It was only then that Su Tang remembered that Qin Zhou was from the north, “I haven’t been there either, but I heard that there seems to be quite a lot of big shots in Nancheng.”
Su Tang added: “By the way, I also saw that he was wearing a ring on his hand. It is estimated that he is married.”
After Qin Zhou heard this, he raised his head and said a little surprised: “Married?”
“It should be, after all he’s wearing a ring.” Su Tang muttered: “I don’t know which girl is so lucky…….”
Qin Zhou nodded and said: “Yes, very lucky.”
The person who could melt the iceberg must be very special.
But these things had nothing to do with him.
Qin Zhou continued to read the script until the staff came to call him. Only then, he got up and went to film first.
He had relatively few scenes today, only a few scenes, which would be over soon.
In the evening, Qin Zhou finished work.He changed his clothes and returned to the hotel.
And when Qin Zhou got out of the car, he looked at the hotel inadvertently and saw the man in the hotel lobby at a glance.
The man was surrounded by the crowd. Qin Zhou looked at the man, his eyes slowly moved down, and noticed that the man was wearing a ring on his left hand, which should be an engagement ring.
He Yang was engaged.
Although he didn’t know who the engagement partner was, Qin Zhou thought of Shen Xiuzhu at once.
That’s fine. The two childhood sweethearts had finally achieved a positive result, and they were a natural pair.
Qin Zhou turned his head to the side and lowered the hat on his head a little. The brim of the hat blocked most of his face.
The assistant got out of the car and came over from behind, saying, “Brother Zhou, I just got a call saying that tomorrow’s scene has been changed and the filming has been postponed until the day after tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Qin Zhou wore a hat and entered the hotel with the assistant.
It happened that He Yang and the secretary came out from inside.
He Yang was still talking to the secretary in a low voice. He didn’t pay attention to other people, let alone the young man walking in from outside.
The distance between the two was getting closer, but neither of them looked up.
Until the shoulders of the two inadvertently touched, the young man in the hat turned slightly and voluntarily gave up his position ——
Then, they passed by.
Qin Zhou didn’t look back. After walking past by the side, he walked directly towards the elevator.
But He Yang suddenly stopped. He hesitated for a moment, then looked back and saw the back of the young man.
The secretary on the side noticed He Yang’s abnormality, and called out with some doubts: “President He?”
He Yang watched the back of the young man leaving, and only after the young man entered the elevator, did he withdraw his gaze, and said lightly, “It’s nothing.”
It was just another hallucination.
***
He Yang inspected the resort for two days.
After the business trip, He Yang went to the psychological clinic.
Doctor Yuan smiled and asked, “Does Mr. He have anything to share with me today?”
He Yang lowered his head and rubbed the ring on his left hand, and said slowly, “I saw him on a business trip.”
Yuan Lie narrowed his eyes and asked, “Is it hallucination again?”
“Yeah.” He Yang’s voice was very soft, “I can see him all the time.”
During the two days in the hotel, Xu ChengYan could always be seen.
Whether in the dining room or in the garden, he could be seen everywhere.
The hallucinations this time were still very real, and the voices of the youth and others talking could even be heard.
“Mr. He.” Yuan Lie persuaded patiently, “I really recommend that you try other hobbies to divert your attention.”
“For example, chasing stars or something.” Doctor Yuan smiled, “Now Mr. Jiang is very happy chasing stars every day.”
Recently, Jiang Lin rarely came to the clinic to find him. He was busy chasing stars, making lists and retouching photos every day, and he had also started learning to edit videos.
However, the two still kept in touch, and occasionally had a phone call or something, and Jiang Lin often mentioned that star.
And every time Jiang Lin mentioned Qin Zhou, his tone was very relaxed and cheerful. He was very happy.
He could also see that Jiang Lin had already let go and found new joy in life.
Dr. Yuan added: “I still have a photo of that star here. His name is Qin Zhou. He is a rookie actor and not very famous.”
Saying that, Yuan Lie opened the drawer, took out a photo of Qin Zhou, and asked, “Mr. He, would you like to take a look? You can try chasing stars.”
He Yang didn’t look at the photos, he just frowned and said: “Not interested.”
Seeing He Yang’s reaction, Yuan Lie couldn’t say anything else, so he had to put Qin Zhou’s photo back in the drawer.
“Then, does Mr. He have any plans for the future?” Dr. Yuan asked again.
He Yang rubbed the ring on his hand, as if he hadn’t heard it, and was a little distracted.
After a long time, He Yang said, “Send the ring out.”
But after Dr. Yuan heard it, he sighed softly, “But he can’t receive the ring, so it’s pointless for you to do this.”
He Yang lowered his eyes and did not speak.
A ring that couldn’t be sent was really meaningless.
“Young Master He, it’s time for you to try to start a new life.” Dr. Yuan advised, “Always living in the memories, hallucinations and auditory hallucinations will only get worse.”
He Yang stopped talking, quietly stayed in the consultation room and didn’t leave until late in the evening.
The apartment was still deserted. He Yang returned to the bedroom, turned on the light, and saw the ring box on the bedside table at a glance.
He Yang sat on the edge of the bed, took the ring box, and gently rubbed his fingertips on it.
Opening the box, there was a ring that could not be delivered.
And this ring was a pair with the ring on his left hand.
He Yang looked at the ring, then got up, took the ring box to the study, and opened the drawer.
Inside the drawer were a wooden tag and an old yellowed photo album.
He Yang put the ring box in it too, and inadvertently, his fingertip touched the wooden tag beside.
He Yang lightly touched the writing on the wooden tag, and finally retracted his hand and locked the wooden tag and the ring box together.
It was all pointless.
XXXXX
T/N: Another double update! Enjoy!
Thank You for the new chapter (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
We already know He Yang didn’t gently looked through that photo album every night bcz of Xiuzhu, but because of his mother and the clothing thing also came from his mother. We may also not forget that he thought Yanyan liked cakes so he always bought it for him, and only came to know Yanyan didn’t really like it after a long time. This whole stuff of He Yang and Xiuzhu seems to be fully connected to He Yang’s mother and everyone misunderstood it all.
Then there’s this “why would I be sad” thing and the fact He Yang really seems to not know what he feels, doesn’t express it, has real problems of communication (can’t have real conversations with people/has difficult with it) and like… Bro
There’s something really messy going on with He Yang since his childhood and everyone is ignoring it bcz they hate him
Actually I think He Yang have traumas and his mother’s death really caused a great impact on him. He didn’t even cry when his mother died and only kept quiet. It’s so obvious that he have mental problems but because he’s calm they just thought he’s okay.
Yeah and he barely talks too. I think he’s being misunderstood by everyone, from that steward to his “friends” and even Yanyan. Then it comes the readers who say they hate him and stuff without trying to see things from his side
He yang never have time to be mourning for his mother actually.. he need to be strong because his father just break down after his mother died.. he need to take care everything and even the family company.. for yanyan in the first place the one who confessed are yanyan and he really think whatever he doing are acceptable with yanyan he know yanyan gonna love him whatever he do.. people being arrogant with that..
The very 1st thing that I thought of this last chapter was that HY is definitely mentally ill, in the sense of how much he compartmentalize. It’s like his threshold for outletting emotion is so much higher than everyone around him. And I do not what you would call it if you had to diagnose him. Does this absolve him of his past behavior? No – but it’s interesting to see it and understand it more as we go.
I really don’t like the psychologist here 😒 so unprofessional
Same, although he’s not completely without blame there also seems to be more than meets the eye. The main thing that’s suspicious right now is the fact he used to cover yanyan’s eyes and gave him lots of glasses like the ones that green tea childhood friend uses.
But even though he is mentally ill his actions is not excused… He just regarded someone as his servant waiting for him like a dog.. there was also something wrong with yanyan cause he tolerated his actions for 5 years believing he is a super hero that can change him. It’s actually wrong in a relationship to think that you can change the person you will just get hurt. Besides his indifference with yanyan and his complacency didn’t make me pity him..
I actually have a theory about the eye covering…like remember he said something about peach blossom eyes will cheat.. he’s weird we all already know by now. Well he still can’t be forgiven, given how he let his friends treat mc, how he himself treated MC
Oh. Poor HY 🥺.. its just so sad that for 2yrs he hallucinate about Yanyan and now that the real is in front of him he still regards it ashallucination… HY still had not move on from his mothers death and now Yanyan is gone.
Just when he wants to let go… fate rolled the dice again for him to meet yanyan who is now… a different man. 🤧
I still hate him for those 5yrs but the man is suffering and will continue to suffer.. 🥺 If only he gave yanyan assurance 😭
AAAAHHH this man is never getting better under this therapist. i mean the guy has been having both auditory and visual hallucinations and no treatment plan?! i mean, im not an expert on mental illnesses or abnormal psychology but there is a science behind treating these. talking abt it ofc will help to an extent but real work needs to be done to help him deal with his grief. even if XCY comes back, he will not be cured.
and why tf is he disclosing things that JL told him as a patient?!!!
Thank you! >.<
also hy is really so pathetic. im kind of relieved… during their entire “relationship” he didnt even think of xcy as a human. he treated him like a sex toy, a servant, and a personal chef. he let his friends talk shit all day and even joined in on the shit talking. i also cant tell who the male lead is. if its hy im going to freak out!
