Qin Zhou no longer hesitated and turned to leave.
Su Tang followed Qin Zhou and couldn’t help but look back at the man.
The man looked a little pathetic. His suit was stained with red wine, his eyes were slightly red, and he was being held tightly by two people beside him.
Su Tang retracted her gaze and stopped paying attention to that person.
Jiang Lin also quickly took He Yang to the lounge upstairs, and asked Yuan Lie to borrow a spare suit and bring it to He Yang.
Yuan Lie was entertaining guests in the banquet hall before, and he didn’t know about the farce in the garden until he came to the lounge and saw that He Yang’s state was a bit wrong.
He Yang lowered his head and remained silent. His body exuded low air pressure, the front of his white shirt was stained with wine, and his suit jacket was left wrinkled aside.
Yuan Lie walked over and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“He’s drunk.” Jiang Lin was a little angry, “He still got the wrong person after being drunk. He rushed up and insisted on hugging other person and not letting go——”
“Jiang Lin.” He Yang interrupted, and said coldly, “I’ve not mistaken.”
“Brother, he just looks alike!” Jiang Lin was so anxious that he quickly explained: “He’s a celebrity. He has put on makeup!”
He Yang: “He’s Xu ChengYan.”
“It’s not him!” Jiang Lin was somewhat tired of saying that. He put the clothes aside, and didn’t bother to care, “I’ve brought the clothes, you can change them yourself.”
After speaking, Jiang Lin turned around and left.
Yuan Lie came to the corridor, and then he asked to Jiang Lin, “What had provoked Young Master He?”
Jiang Lin sighed and explained: “He has encountered Brother Zhou. He wanted to hug Brother Zhou and not let him go. He even wanted Brother Zhou to go back with him.”
“My brother was drunk and his eyes were not good. So, he recognized Brother Zhou as someone else.”
“I tried to reason with him, but he still didn’t listen…….”
Jiang Lin complained, and suddenly noticed that the person beside him was silent.
“Jiang Lin.” Yuan Lie looked over and asked, “Who does Young Master He mistake Qin Zhou for?”
“It’s that friend of ours…….” Jiang Lin frowned slightly, “Qin Zhou looks a lot like that friend and my brother just mistook the wrong person.”
Yuan Lie: “How similar?”
Jiang Lin thought about it, and he still replied, “It’s quite similar. When I first saw him, I even thought they were twins, but it’s all right after I got used to it.”
After hearing this, Yuan Lie showed a typical gentle smile on his face, and said calmly, “Mr. Jiang, I need an explanation.”
Although Yuan Lie was smiling, his tone was a little cold.
“What explanation?” Jiang Lin was stunned.
“About Qin Zhou.” Yuan Lie narrowed his eyes, “When you went to chase stars, you didn’t tell me that he looks a lot like that friend of yours.”
Jiang Lin was still a little guilty. He whispered, “I just don’t think it’s necessary to say……”
Although at first he did approach Qin Zhou because he and Sister-in-law looked the same, but now it’s different.
“Mr. Jiang, it’s not a good thing to hide from the doctor.” Yuan Lie smiled, “I think we need to have a good chat.”
“When is Mr. Jiang free? I can give you psychological counseling.”
“It’s really not necessary.” Jiang Lin waved his hand quickly, “I’m really fine. No consultation is needed.”
Jiang Lin and Yuan Lie went downstairs together and went to find Qin Zhou again.
Qin Zhou was still in another lounge downstairs because his clothes were also soiled.
Jiang Lin looked for it, took a spare suit, and said with some guilt: “Brother Zhou, I’m sorry…….”
“My cousin is drunk today and is a little impulsive. He is usually not like this……..” Jiang Lin’s voice became smaller and smaller.
Yuan Lie was just outside the room. He looked at Qin Zhou in the room, and took out his mobile phone to search for Qin Zhou’s information.
Jiang Lin was still chatting with Qin Zhou, and Yuan Lie didn’t go in to disturb him. After closing the door, he went upstairs to find He Yang.

He Yang had already changed his clothes. He stood alone by the window, and lit a cigarette.

He Yang frowned and said, “He is not dead.”
Yuan Lie sighed softly. He had to take out his mobile phone and said to He Yang, “Is that the person you saw at the banquet?”
He Yang glanced at random, and after seeing the young man on the screen, his pupils shrank, “Where did this photo come from?”
When Yuan Lie saw He Yang’s reaction, he already had an answer in his heart.
“Young Master He.” Yuan Lie smiled, “I haven’t seen your friend, and I don’t know what your friend looks like, but what I can be sure of is ——”
“The person in the photo is not that friend you know.”
“He is an artist under our company, Qin Zhou.”
He Yang looked at the photo on the phone, and after a long time, he said, “He is Xu ChengYan. He is not dead.”
The topic went back to the original point.
“Young Master He, you are really drunk.” Yuan Lie sighed softly. “I also remember a little about Qin Zhou’s information. His hometown is a small village in the north.”
Yuan Lie recalled the information. “His family conditions are not very good, and he has no chance to know you.”
He Yang lowered his eyes and stopped talking.
Seeing that He Yang’s attitude seemed to soften a bit, Yuan Lie said, “There are indeed two strangers who look alike in this world. It’s just a coincidence.”
Yuan Lie still smiled, “Young Master He, You should calm down first.”
After a long time, He Yang replied softly, “Yeah.”
He Yang stayed by the floor-to-ceiling window for a while. He gradually calmed down, and then left the room.
The banquet hall was still very lively. He Yang came to the railing on the second floor and looked at the guests below.
In the crowd, He Yang saw the black-haired young man at a glance.
The young man was still talking with Jiang Lin, and the two seemed to be very familiar with each other, as if they had known each other for a long time.
He Yang looked at the young man’s figure. He still went downstairs and walked towards the young man.
The young man just turned his back to the entrance of the stairs, so he didn’t notice someone approaching behind him.
However, Jiang Lin noticed that He Yang was coming and his expression changed. He hurriedly stepped forward, and protected Qin Zhou behind him.
“Brother.” Jiang Lin called out cautiously.
Qin Zhou also turned around and saw He Yang.
He Yang had also changed into a new suit, and his face had returned to the original indifferent look. One could no longer see the embarrassment in the garden before.
There were other guests around, and some people recognized He Yang’s identity and greeted him one after another.
“President He.”
After Qin Zhou heard it, he also followed and called like everyone else: “President He.”
He Yang looked at the young man’s figure and said slowly, “Sorry, I was drunk just now.”
This time, He Yang’s reaction was calm, and he didn’t lose his temper at all.
“It doesn’t matter.” Qin Zhou still had a polite smile and a distant tone.
He Yang’s eyes fell on the tear mole in the corner of the youth’s eye, and suddenly asked, “Have you been to Nancheng before?”
“No.” The youth smiled, “This is my first time here.”
“Have you been to the mountain village in Xicheng?”
The young man nodded and replied, “I went to film there last year.”
He Yang stopped talking. He just looked at the young man’s peach blossom eyes.
There was still a smile in the young man’s eyes, and there was no flaw in the expression on his face.
Neither of the two spoke, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
Jiang Lin probably felt that the atmosphere was not right. He said quickly: “Brother, my friend is a little tired. I will send him back first.”
After that, Jiang Lin took Qin Zhou away first.
He Yang watched the backs of the two leaving, and did not withdraw his gaze back until the two left the banquet hall.
Yuan Lie was not far away and saw the scene where He Yang and Qin Zhou were chatting just now.
Yuan Lie came over and asked, “How was your chat with Qin Zhou just now?”
“It’s okay.” He Yang said casually.
“Then, it’s just the wrong person?”
He Yang: “I’ve not mistaken.”
The person who he had been with for five years, he would never mistake him no matter what.
“Young Master He, he is Qin Zhou.” Yuan Lie explained patiently, then changed his angle and asked, “Even if it is really him, why hasn’t he come to find you for the past three years?”
Yuan Lie: “He didn’t even recognize Jiang Lin.”
He Yang looked down at the ring in his hand and did not speak.
It’s been three years.
Obviously still alive, but that person never came back once.
***
On the other side, Jiang Lin sent Qin Zhou back to the hotel.
Qin Zhou sat on the sofa while reading the script and making a phone call.
But to be precise, only the person on the other end of the phone made a long, unilateral speech, and Qin Zhou only responded occasionally.
“Okay, I see.” Qin Zhou replied.
The other end of the phone continued: “I don’t know how you got the invitation letter from the Yuan family. It’s fine as long as you seize the opportunity well.”
“M-hm.”
“If you are with the right person, you won’t have to work hard for the next few decades.” The agent began to hint again, “The Boss Jin I told you before, he raised a newcomer recently.”
“Boss Jin directly poured tens of millions into the crew just to support the newcomer.”
“Well.” Qin Zhou’s attitude was very casual.
Agent: “Look at you. You hesitated to agree before, and those big bosses won’t wait for you all the time. They will find someone else directly.”
“M-hm.”
Qin Zhou responded perfunctorily all along. When the call ended, he threw the phone on the sofa and didn’t care anymore.
Qin Zhou got up and went back to his room to pack his luggage.
The next morning, Qin Zhou carried his suitcase and returned with Su Tang, ready to return to the crew.
Jiang Lin also wanted to follow him to visit the crew, but was stopped by Qin Zhou.
“You’d better work hard now.” Qin Zhou rubbed Jiang Lin’s head.
“Brother Zhou! My family has money! It’s fine if I don’t work!” Jiang Lin wailed, “I just want to go to the set with you!”
But Qin Zhou still didn’t agree, he just let Jiang Lin stay in Nancheng.
Qin Zhou: “It has been raining on the crew’s side recently, and the road is not easy to walk on. So, let’s wait for the weather to get better.”
Jiang Lin had no choice but to agree first. He prepared to wait for the weather to clear before leaving.
Qin Zhou and Su Tang got on the plane and returned to the crew.
Qin Zhou put the luggage back in the hotel room, and rushed to the set with Su Tang to do makeup first.
In the past few days, they had taken leave to attend the birthday banquet in Nancheng. The crew also filmed other supporting roles first and coordinated the time.
There was only one dressing room in the crew, and when Qin Zhou passed by, he heard a voice inside ——
“Gossip! Film Queen Tang confessed to Film emperor Pei, but she was rejected!”
“Alas, Film emperor Pei has been single for so many years. I’m so anxious. Why doesn’t he find a partner…….?”
“And then, have you heard of the He family in Nancheng? I heard that the eldest young master He is very handsome! He looks like a star!”
As soon as Qin Zhou entered, he saw it was the makeup artist who was chatting with Su Tang.
But to be precise, it was the makeup artist’s unilateral gossip, and Su Tang could only close her eyes and couldn’t move.
It wasn’t until the makeup artist finished that Su Tang opened her eyes and asked, “Wait a minute, is it true that Film emperor Pei rejected the confession?”
“That’s how I heard……” The makeup artist said, and started to put makeup on Qin Zhou again.
“But the film queen is so beautiful. Why did he have to refuse her?” Su Tang didn’t understand.
“This is not clear. Film emperor Pei has been single for a long time.” The makeup artist shook his head, “I heard that the one from the He family is also single.”
Su Tang thought for a while, but still said: “But the gossip I heard about Young Master He is that he’s already engaged……”
The makeup artist asked again, “Didn’t Sister Su Su go to Nancheng this time? Did you see Young Master He?”
“I didn’t see him! I don’t even know what he looks like!” Su Tang felt a little emotional, “Those big shots have fixed circles, and none of us in the 18th tier have a chance to strike up a conversation!”
Qin Zhou still didn’t speak when he heard Su Tang’s voice.
In fact, Su Tang and Young Master He met at the banquet that day.
The makeup artist smiled: “It’s normal for little people like us to not be able to meet them.”
“That’s right.” Su Tang nodded.
***
Qin Zhou’s afternoon scenes ended early. So, he finished work before Su Tang.
The assistant went out to buy dinner, and Qin Zhou went back to the hotel by himself.
But just when Qin Zhou arrived downstairs of the hotel, he saw a familiar luxury car parked outside the hotel.
This car was a unique custom-made model in the world, and the license plate number was also a special serial number.
He had ridden in this car countless times, and he also remembered every decoration in the car. He could recognize this car just by looking at it.
However, Qin Zhou still pretended not to see it and prepared to go around.
Just then, the car’s rear door opened.
The man in a suit slowly got out of the car and came to Qin Zhou with a gift bag in his hand.
Qin Zhou respectfully said: “President He.”
He Yang handed over the gift bag and said slowly: “Sorry, your dress was soiled at the last banquet.”
The gift bag was packed up very exquisitely and gorgeously. Qin Zhou recognized that the package was from V brand, and what was inside should be a set of clothes.
Qin Zhou didn’t take the bag. He just said, “President He, it’s all in the past and never mind about the suit.”
He Yang didn’t answer, and still stared at the person in front of him.
The two were deadlocked for a while. Qin Zhou had no choice but to accept it first, “Thank you, President He.”
“Mr. Jiang helped to prepare the suit, and I will also hand this suit over to Mr. Jiang.” Qin Zhou’s tone was still very distant and the attitude was lukewarm.
He Yang looked at those peach blossom eyes, and suddenly called out, “Qin Zhou.”
“Huh?”
He Yang suddenly turned around and took out a large bouquet of white roses from the car, “Apology for the last time.”
He Yang handed the rose to the youth.
Hmmm wonder what his plan is? Try and re-seduce him? Not sure it’ll work ….
Pretty sure his EQ isn’t high enough to realise that. Which is good because it means we get to watch him make a fool of himself and pretend he isn’t the end-game.
First… Thank you for Soooo many chapters… So lovely to sink into the slow and gentle pace of this story. Xx
Second there will be no running away this time…
😉
Let the wife chasing begin!!!
Please make him (HY) suffer a little bit more and gain some EQ
Thx for the chappy
Thank You for the new chapter (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡
He Yang disgusts me. He just won’t reflect ever. Like bro it was your fault that Yanyan had such a bad life and even if you are sure that zhozhou is yanyan then think why he didn’t return to you tch! Communication is the key in a relationship and He Yan never communicated🙄 I hate him and I will always hate him till the last chapter of this novel. Why can’t Yanyan find a different Love interest…someone who will treat him right.
Ikr? He Yang really lives up to the title of scum gong. I will never, ever ever ever like him. His past doesn’t justify his mistreatment for our MC. I hope he suffers more under our MC, if he doesn’t then is the ending really a happy one? Happy ending = miserable He Yang.
100% agree with you! I‘m not gonna take that, oh it was just misscommunication. He didn‘t intend to treat him badly shit. He was someone who would wake Yanyan up so that he can take He yang home from the disco. Like do you have no respect for him? He isn‘t your driver. Or the way he made that disgusting bet about Yanyan when our yanyan never treated him badly. Or how he let his friends bully yanyan. He deserves the title scum gong more than everybody!
I agree with you , like my God ! How dare he act as if it was Yanyan fault he didn’t come back! They even made a BET on how long until he comes back ! The worst ! manipulator bastRd! Arrogant SCm! Oh my God I hate him ! Poor Yan Yan . He was stuck in that toxic relationship for too long . He was mistreated all these years and yet the fcking SCm had the Audacity to say “come back with me ” Like what the hell dude! you want my Knife on your stomach or something ?!😇
While I also don’t agree with He Yang’s treatment, I believe he actually has psychological issues that are preventing him from developing deeper, meaningful relationships, or even experiencing or comprehending said emotions. We’ve seen time and time again how he’s quite stubborn, as even in visits with his psychologist he struggles to even begin opening up about how he feels and actually brushes it off, as if it’s inconsequential.
Again, it doesn’t make his treatment correct, but if he’s geuinely emotionally inept, he needs help, not pure disgust.
Nauuur he’s trying to make up from his mistakes using the ‘look alike’ Qin Zhou. Freak you He Scum!
Replacement in other words like 😇 this ML is so 🙄 he’s gonna hurt him again like WTF He Yang please give Yan Yan a break ,, you already broke him for many years and here you are again 😒
Ouuu.. Roses.
Thank you so much ms translator for the multiple chapter uploads. Love it!!
Thanks for the chapter
That’s right Yan Yan, gaslight him and make everyone think he’s crazy. That’s the best revenge
I feel sorry for HY but I still don’t like him with Yanyan. He still hasn’t bothered to look at himself and his toxic behaviors. The story has done a good job of explaining why but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s just not a healthy person to be around. He should really take that psychological counseling and do some serious work on his inability to face his own emotions.
But I do have to say that I give him credit for knowing that QZ is actually Yanyan. He DOES know Yanyan – which is something.
I really hope that the psychiatrist will do some work as the ml is so broken. Like he loves him so much and recognises him, he even had hallucinations of him, but he is a ice block that shows nothing. I hope there will be a lot of growth.
Growth would be nice. Right now I can’t find it in my heart to wish for anything good for him.
I HATE THE MALE LEAD SO MUCH 😭😭😭😭, kinda hoping the MC will find someone who much much much much much better than him
who needs a heartless scum gong, right?
Yuan Lie really living up to his character setting of ‘ran away from his family business worth hundreds of millions to pursue a dream’ our boy is SO excited to get an opportunity to therapize someone whether they like it or not
Man ! I usually don’t log in to comment but the ML is so F#ck up, I had to 😇
I’m so angry arggghhh ! He’s the ML but I wish he wasn’t. I just can’t. My blood is boiling right now! Now you found someone who “looks” like Yan Yan SO WHAT ?! gonna use him for replacement?
Well, you told him not to come back…
He yang needs to work out the cause of his emotional ineptitude before he starts dating again. Forget chasing ZhouZhou, my guy was gonna spend his days thinking illusions of a person he recently lost were NORMAL. My guy, we should sort that out first, dontcha think? 😭🤚🏽
“Sorry, I was drunk.” means:
Sorry, I was drunk. I did not mean to startle you and cause you trouble.
and not,
Sorry, I was drunk. I mistake you for someone else
😂😂😂… dayymm! since day 1 he was so firm that Yanyan is alive. Never doubted it for once.
Man sure knows Yanyan at a glance… truly shows that he was observant of him for 5yrs… its just that he failed to show it more transparently.
Okay but TO BE FAIR,,, when someone seems to like everything you give them it’s hard to tell what kind of stuff they like. Honestly I’m low-key thinking he’s mirroring his parents and anyone who showed him affection NGL. Doesn’t excuse the fact that he ignored his injured hand, but honestly I’m seeing a connection between his mom and the lil white lotus so he might have treated his special BECAUSE his mom treated him special so he felt a lil connection to his mom with him. Don’t come after me if I’m wrong tho v.v
I am so happy that I’m not crying anymore. My eyes feel weird from crying for so long.
Tbh, if he wantedbto confirm, he would only need take Qi Qi to Yanyan XD
you are so dang right lmao. the dog won’t lie. If QiQi saw him, his tail will go helicopter mode 😂
and then, the stalking begins…
that creepy bastard!
Sigh!!!👀
White roses symbolize loyalty, purity, and innocence. “Since they represent these ideas, the white rose has also become the most popular flower to be seen at weddings,” says Poulson. According to Poulson, they can also symbolize eternal love, a new start, and fresh beginnings.
That “It’s been three years. Obviously still alive but that person never came back once” line hurts
Thanks for the chapter ♡♡♡♡♡
I just want to say I started this novel at past 1am. It’s 6:53am 😭
I feel you, that was me from last night into this morning around 6am too lmao. I went sleep after but all now my eyes are a little sore😅
Bro it’s 8:36am for me :,) my boyfriend went to sleep like, 4 hours ago 😭🥲👍
He felt in his heart that they weren’t together and everytime he did things for Mc that would basically mirror what he would do for SXH (whatever his name is idc), which means when they were intimate, him smelling the perfume that snake wears, the style of clothes he wore and the glasses(the biggest tell tale sign btw especially for someone who doesn’t even wear glasses), hell even the “obedient” temperament. It must have all felt like he was intimate with SXH, everytime they did it and I really just ugh, so sickening.
He could’ve rejected Mc everysince if he felt he didn’t like him but no, he led the man who loved him so much, on for 5 YEARS, made a fool out of him in front of his friends several times, just to tell him they were never a thing. The fact that Mc even gets back with him from the looks of it is just-. If the Mc was my friend personally and I knew the ins and out of their relationship, my friend can say bye bye to him forever cause this would never fly.
Okay so he does know how to be romantic… Then why was he such an ass hat when they were in a situationship tf
honestly, I’m so glad HY recognized yanyan and didn’t doubt whether it’s really him or not. plus points for HY
If I were Yanyan, I wouldn’t go back either. 🙄
