QiQi was still a little confused. He looked at the door and stretched out his paws to push lightly, as if he wanted to go out to find Qin Zhou.
“QiQi.” He Yang shouted, “Come back.”
QiQi turned around and stared at He Yang for a while, and in the end, he came over very slowly.
QiQi lay on the carpet and looked at the door from time to time, waiting for Qin Zhou to come back.
He Yang turned around. He came to the balcony, and lit a cigarette.
There was one less person in the apartment and it became deserted.
Apparently the day before, they were still hugging and kissing.
But in the blink of an eye, there was nothing.
He Yang looked out the window, a flash of scarlet burning on his fingertips.
Gradually, the burning cigarette butt got shorter as time went by.
Cigarette butts were everywhere.
***
In the evening, the housekeeper aunt came to cook.
The housekeeper aunt habitually wanted to make dinner for two, but He Yang stopped her.
“No need for tonight.”
“Okay.” Auntie nodded and replied, then turned around and went to the cabinet to get a can and fed it to QiQi.
After QiQi finished eating the canned food, he took out the leash from the guest room and looked for He Yang.
QiQi placed the leash in front of He Yang.
He Yang stared at the leash for a long time, and finally put the leash on QiQi and took QiQi out.
It’s just that in the past, the two masters went out together to accompany QiQi for a walk, but today there was only He Yang.
QiQi played outside for a while, and after returning to the apartment, he stayed in the living room to play again.
He Yang returned to the master bedroom.
In the master bedroom, the traces of two people living were everywhere.
There was a water glass used by Qin Zhou on the bedside table, and there was a magazine on the table that he hadn’t had time to finish…….
He Yang took the phone and looked at the contacts list for a long time.
But before He Yang could press the dial button, a call came——
It was Qin Zhou who called.
He Yang answered the phone, “YanYan.”
“He Yang, when I was unpacking the box earlier, I found the ring.” The young man on the other end of the phone said, “Maybe I accidentally picked up the wrong thing when I was packing.”
He Yang didn’t say anything.
That ring was specially put in the suitcase by him in the morning.
“I’ll find someone to deliver the ring tomorrow.” Qin Zhou said.
“No need.” He Yang lowered his head slightly, “You can keep it.”
“It’s too valuable, I can’t keep it.” Qin Zhou looked at the ring box in his hand and frowned slightly.
Although he didn’t know much about jewelry, given He Yang’s status, this ring was definitely not cheap.
“It’s not worth anything.” He Yang lowered his eyes, “If you don’t like it, just throw it away. You don’t have to give it back to me.”
The phone went quiet.
After a while, Qin Zhou responded: “Okay.”
The phone was hung up.

QiQi walked around the master bedroom and then found the owner on the balcony.
He Yang was sitting alone, with a little red dot burning on his fingertips.
There were several empty wine bottles on the table, and the floor was covered with cigarette butts.
QiQi came over. He nudged He Yang’s legs with his head, and then took the Frisbee over.
He Yang looked at QiQi and said without moving, “I’ll send you back.”
QiQi still raised his head, as if he still didn’t understand.
He Yang sent a message to the driver and sent QiQi back to the old house.
As the car drove towards the old house, the Steward also received the news from He Yang and waited in the yard in advance.
After the car stopped, QiQi got out of the car first and ran towards the yard.
The Steward stepped forward and glanced behind He Yang. However, another young man had yet to appear, so he asked, “Young Master He, Mr. Xu didn’t come?”
“No.”
He Yang entered the villa.
Father He was still in the living room, playing chess alone.
He Yang walked over and sat opposite the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was very happy to see He Yang. He then looked in the direction of the door and asked, “Where’s the piano teacher? You didn’t bring him back?”
“He’s not coming.” He Yang dropped a chess piece.
The middle-aged man was stunned and asked, “Did you break up?”
He Yang looked at the chessboard on the table and finally said, “Yes.”
It was almost the same as a break-up anyway.
Their relationship ended.
“Why did you break up?” The middle-aged man was still a little surprised, “Aren’t you already engaged?”
He Yang raised his head and said softly: “I was not good to him.”
He was not good to YanYan.
In those five years, he wasn’t good enough.
It was useless to try to save it now.
***
He Yang stayed in the old house for one night.
But that night, he still had insomnia as usual.
He Yang sat on the balcony on the second floor, looking at the garden outside.
The sky had turned gray, and a bird nest shaped round rattan daybed had been built on the lawn in the garden.
When they lived in the old house last month, Qin Zhou said that he wanted a bed to lie on and bask in the sun.
But now the lazy bed had been placed, but Qin Zhou was no longer there.
He Yang held the phone and was still looking at the call interface in a daze.
Unknowingly, his fingertips accidentally pressed the dial key.
Then the call was connected.
“He Yang?” The voice on the other end of the phone was still a little lazy, as if he was woken up.
He Yang asked, “Did I wake you up?”
“No.” Qin Zhou smiled and said, “I have to get up and work.”
“It’s only five o’clock.” He Yang frowned slightly.
“Yes, I got up at half past four.” Qin Zhou smiled, “I’m too busy. There’s a lot of work piled up.”
“Take a good rest.”
Qin Zhou responded with a sound, and then asked: “What about you? Why did you wake up this early?”
He Yang: “Yeah, I woke up.”
Actually, he’s not asleep yet.
“Then you can sleep a little longer.” Qin Zhou said, “Remember to lock the door, otherwise QiQi will come in.”
“Okay.”
The two chatted casually like friends.
It was until Qin Zhou was about to start work and only then he hung up the phone.
He Yang was still not sleepy. So, he leaned on the chair, opened Weibo then, and searched for Qin Zhou’s name.
In the search results, the first Weibo post that appeared was a video with an elf on the cover ——
It was the promotional video for the game that Qin Zhou had shot before and it was officially announced.
***
The game company made an official announcement in advance and released a promotional video.
The promotional video was a storyline between elves and demons, and the story unfolded from the perspective of elves at the beginning.
Most of the time, the elf in the screen had a back view, or a chin, or a side face……
The cameraman did not give the elf a full head shot, so that players could take the place of its role in the game.
But because the face was not shown, it had a sense of dreamlike beauty.
【Beautiful elf! Five minutes, I want all the information about this elf! 】
【The promotional video is so awesome! The elf looked so stunning at first sight! 】
【The time has been set and I’m ready to grab the spot in the game! 】
The promotional video became a hot search topic on the first day it was released, and even Qin Zhou became a little popular.
He Yang watched the promotional video many times and memorized every scene.
The director also sent a backup copy of all the behind-the-scenes videos to the investor, He Yang.
He Yang flipped through the highlights over and over again, looking at the elf in the camera.
Next to him, QiQi also came over and looked at the laptop screen, seeming to recognize the young man on the screen.
He Yang ignored QiQi. He looked at the screen, and finally called Qin Zhou.
After the call was connected, He Yang said softly: “I saw the promotional video. The acting was very good.”
“Thank you.” Qin Zhou smiled.
He Yang asked, “The director sent me all the behind-the-scenes videos today. Do you want it?”
“No, there’s nothing interesting to see.” The young man on the other end of the phone laughed.
The phone also went quiet, and no one spoke.
After a while, Qin Zhou asked, “Is there anything else?”
He Yang: “No.”
But after hearing this, Qin Zhou said, “If nothing happens, it’s better not to call.”
He Yang was stunned a little and said: “Sorry…….”
He just wanted to hear his voice.
He really missed him so much.
They were only separated for a few days, but it seemed like years had passed.
“I have work, and my schedule has been very busy recently.” Qin Zhou explained patiently, “If you call me, it might be a little inconvenient.”
“I’m sorry.” He Yang responded, “I won’t disturb you.”
“Don’t contact me again in the future.”
“Yeah.” He Yang responded, his voice was still a little hoarse.
“Take good care of yourself.”
The young man’s voice and tone were still the same as before, very gentle.
But such a gentle person was also the most ruthless when he decided to leave.
***
He Yang stayed in the old house for a few days and then returned to Nancheng.
After returning to Nancheng, He Yang called his friends to come out and get together.
But even though it was said to be a party called by He Yang, when He Yang came to the box, he didn’t say anything and just kept drinking.
Young Master Qi came over to pour wine for He Yang and asked casually: “Young Master He, where is the little star from last time? Do you want to bring him out?”
Young Master Qi still remembered the little star he met in the hospital last time. He and Xu ChengYan looked exactly the same, and he seemed to be very favored by He Yang as He Yang took him by his side.
And when He Yang heard this, he finally had a reaction. He raised his head and said softly: “He’s gone.”
Young Master Qi asked, “Where did he go?”
“He’s not coming back.” He Yang said, and then opened a new bottle of wine.
Young Master Qi was right next to him, and he finally noticed something was wrong with He Yang’s state.
He Yang also drank before, but he didn’t drink all the time like he did now.
Young Master Qi raised his head and looked at another young man next to him.
Immediately afterwards, Young Master Qi asked tentatively: “Young Master He, do you want me to call him over?”
Like those little stars in the entertainment industry, they could call him out with just a phone call.
However, after hearing this, He Yang said, “Don’t call.”
Young Master Qi asked, “What’s wrong? Did you have a fight?”
After He Yang heard this, he swayed his glass in a daze and said softly: “No fight.”
There was no quarrel or misunderstanding.
Instead, it was just very peaceful and the relationship was completely broken off.
He Yang continued to drink.
Young Master Qi on the side stopped mentioning this topic and drank with He Yang.
Others in the box also noticed something strange about He Yang, but no one dared to ask.
It wasn’t until after the party ended and He Yang left that a young master tentatively asked, “Did Young Master He break up?”
“It should be, he was drinking so much……”
“It seems like he was ditched…..”
He Yang was dumped.
Now, let’s see where will the story go…
Good riddance 😤 Should’ve known to cherish it when you had the chance!
Thank You for the new chapter ʚ♡⃛ɞ(ू•ᴗ•ू❁)
hehehehe he yang how’s that feels? hurt? hehehehe
😭😭😭💔
I’m not gonna lie and say I don’t feel bad for He Yang because I do. I pity him. He apologized and is trying to be a better person for Yanyan. But I don’t blame Yanyan for his choices. Honestly, I’m glad that he chose himself over anything else. Whether they will get together in the end or not, all I hope is for the happiness of both characters. They suffered in their own ways. I wouldn’t want to see them suffer until the end.
I’m honestly surprised the story didn’t end in a neat little bow with the proposal!! How interesting! I’m really looking forward to the ending now! I feel like the Emperor actor guy Pei or whatever is gonna play a role as a rival or something. I hope so hehehe >:3
