He Yang went to find Yuan Lie.
Then he sat in the office for the whole day.
Outside the window, there was a LED advertising screen on the commercial building not far away.
On the screen, the game’s promotional video advertisement was playing.
He Yang looked out the window and lit a cigarette.
Yuan Lie was sitting across from him in a white coat. He smiled and said, “President He, I won’t say those comforting words.”
“He is still alive and even living well by himself.”
“You too should move on soon.”
He Yang said nothing, as if he didn’t hear anything, and kept looking at the LED advertising screen outside.
The cigarette butt was getting shorter and shorter, burning his fingertips.
Only then did He Yang react belatedly and put out the cigarette butt.
And, the ashtray on the table was filled with cigarette butts.
Yuan Lie behind the desk still smiled and said gently: “You can try to divert your attention.”
“For example, traveling, chatting with friends to relax, or working and such.”
“Maybe one day, you will meet a more suitable person.”
After hearing this, He Yang said: “No.”
There will never be a second suitable person.
He Yang lit the cigarette again and continued to look at the advertising screen outside.
It was not until evening that He Yang got up and returned to the apartment.
He Yang took a few bottles of wine and stayed alone on the balcony.
Smelling the strong smell of alcohol in the air, the housekeeper aunt looked over the balcony. She wanted to persuade him, but then didn’t dare to go over.
Until late at night, the housekeeper aunt came out of her habit to take a look at the balcony and found that He Yang had fallen unconscious on the floor, surrounded by empty wine bottles.
The aunt quickly sent He Yang to the hospital.

On the other side.
The release of the promotional video made Qin Zhou popular.
Qin Zhou became busy, and his daily schedule was full.
He often got up at four or five in the morning, finished work at eleven or twelve in the evening, and flew around to various cities to catch up on announcements.
On the set, Qin Zhou changed his clothes and sat on the waiting chair, waiting for the shooting to start.
Jiang Lin bought milk tea and came over to visit the set.
Jiang Lin handed over the milk tea, hesitated for a while, and then asked: “Brother Zhou, I recently heard Yuan Lie say that you and my brother…….. what happened?”
Qin Zhou took the milk tea. He thought about it and said: “We broke up.”
“Oh……” Jiang Lin nodded and then asked: “Really broke up?”
Qin Zhou replied: “Yes, we broke up.”

Jiang Lin’s face was full of worry, for fear that the two would get back together.
Qin Zhou was a little amused and said, “I won’t consider dating for the time being.”
“Then, that’s fine!” Jiang Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Zhou sat holding the milk tea for a while until the scene was set up, then he went over to start filming.
After finishing work in the evening, Qin Zhou got into the nanny car and prepared to go back.
The agent was standing next to him and said, “I have picked up a temporary guest role of a variety show for you, and you will record one episode first.”
“Okay.”
“This variety show will be recorded next month, and it will be recorded abroad, so prepare everything that needs to be prepared.” The agent handed over a file.
Qin Zhou took it and flipped through it.
That variety show was a slow-paced daily life show. The guests have to spend a month abroad to earn money by themselves. They can go to work, or open a store to make money. The group that makes more money in the end wins.
The agent said: “I’ll come pick you up at 6 o’clock tomorrow. We’re going to shoot a magazine cover.”
“OK.”
Qin Zhou returned to his apartment and rested for that night.
At around five o’clock the next day, he got up early again and prepared to shoot the cover.
However, after the cover shoot, Qin Zhou was about to go back when he was stopped by his agent.
Agent: “Qin Zhou, someone is looking for you.”
Qin Zhou was still a little confused and was taken to a nearby lounge by his agent.
Qin Zhou opened the door and was a little surprised when he saw the person in the room.
“Mr. Xu.” The Steward smiled gently.
“Uncle Wen?” Qin Zhou stepped forward and asked quickly, “Why are you here?”
“I’m sorry to bother you like this.” The Steward was a little apologetic, “I’m getting old, and I have watched Young Master He grow up. So, I can’t bear it.
“I am the one who made the decision this time. If possible, I hope you can go and see Young Master He.”
Qin Zhou asked, “What’s wrong with He Yang?”
“He’s hospitalized.”
***
Qin Zhou followed the Steward and went to the hospital together.
In the ward, the man on the bed was sleeping.
Qin Zhou calmly walked over, and sat on the chair beside the bed. He looked at He Yang quietly, and found that He Yang had dark circles under his eyes.
Qin Zhou reached out and covered He Yang’s quilt slightly tightly.
However, He Yang seemed to be a little disturbed by Qin Zhou’s movements. His eyelids moved. He slowly opened his eyes and saw the young man beside the bed.
The young man wore a hat and lowered his head slightly. After noticing that He Yang woke up and met He Yang’s gaze, the corners of his eyes curved as he smiled.
He Yang looked at the gentle young man in front of him and stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to hug him.
Qin Zhou saw He Yang’s movements and quickly stopped He Yang’s movements, “Don’t move.”
Qin Zhou quickly put He Yang’s left hand away for fear of affecting the infusion.
And He Yang stared at the person in front of him for a while, then stretched out his right hand to hold Qin Zhou’s hand.
There was a warm and real touch in his palm.
He Yang suddenly said: “It’s not a dream.”
Qin Zhou didn’t take back his hand. He sat on the edge of the bed and said helplessly: “He Yang, how did you end up like this?”
“Uncle Wen said that you have stomach bleeding. You should drink less in the future.”
After He Yang heard this, he said, “I didn’t ask Uncle Wen to find you.”
“I told him not to disturb you.” He Yang frowned slightly, as if he was not satisfied with the Steward’s decision to go find Qin Zhou without permission.
Qin Zhou helped He Yang cover the quilt and said, “Don’t blame Uncle Wen. He cares about you.”
“You should also drink less and smoke less.” Qin Zhou advised.
“En.” He Yang responded, and got up slightly. He sat up and leaned closer to the edge of the bed, still holding the hand tightly in his hand.
The room became quiet and the two of them stopped talking.
After a long time, He Yang said: “I went to check the surveillance records from three years ago.”
“I didn’t hang up the phone.” He Yang raised his head and said, “It was Shen XiuZhu who hung up the phone.”
He looked for the surveillance records of the houseboat from three years ago and found out what happened.
“I didn’t know it was your call.” He Yang exerted force on his hand unconsciously and whispered: “I’m sorry………”
He saw on the surveillance camera that it was Shen XiuZhu who hung up the phone.
That was why he didn’t see the missed call at that time and didn’t know there was such a call.
“I have already informed the Shen family. He will not appear again.” He Yang’s voice was still a little hoarse.
He had helped the Shen family so many times over the years, and his debt to Shen XiuZhu had been paid off long ago.
But he couldn’t accept the phone call that was hung up.
So he had told the Shen family and the people in the nursing home that they had to “take good care” of Shen XiuZhu.
“Can we……….. start over?”
After hearing this, Qin Zhou was a little surprised and said, “He Yang, that phone call has nothing to do with it.”
The car accident had nothing to do with the phone call.
Even if He Yang answered the call, it would not change the outcome because his phone was almost out of battery.
“It’s better to break up.” Qin Zhou reached out, rubbed He Yang’s head, and said, “The relationship between the two of us has nothing to do with other people.”
The two of them had come to this point and it had nothing to do with other people.
“I will change.” He Yang leaned over, “I will change whatever you don’t like, and we will start over.”
“You don’t have to change.” Qin Zhou shook his head. He looked at the man in front of him, and said seriously: “If it’s someone who really loves you, how can they be willing to let you change over and over again?”
Regarding emotional matters, after all, it was the two people’s personalities that were not suitable.
He Yang was willing to change for him, but he wouldn’t change anything for He Yang.
“We’re really not suitable for each other.” Qin Zhou was serious and rational.
He Yang stopped talking.
Qin Zhou looked at the man in front of him and suddenly noticed that He Yang was a little haggard.
The aloof and always cold eldest young master of the He family in his memory——
Had become what he was now.
Now, this was the day he was waiting for: the day when the iceberg melted.
But if you miss it, you miss it.
He had worked hard for five years and once liked He Yang that much.
He was also very regretful that the two of them did not make it to the end.
But he would never regret it.
“Don’t make yourself so difficult.” Qin Zhou reached out and helped He Yang adjust his collar, “You have to take care of yourself.”
“Then come back.” He Yang suddenly said, “I can’t take care of myself.”
Qin Zhou smiled and said, “Didn’t you live well during the three years I was away?”
He Yang said, “I didn’t live well in those three years.”
He had a very bad life.
“Come back.” He Yang lowered his attitude, “You don’t need to take responsibility for, and it’s fine to just treat me as a bed partner.”
“I am very happy when I am with you.” Qin Zhou laughed.
In the last month, the time he spent with He Yang was really relaxing.
The two of them were like lovers.
“But I still prefer to be by myself.” Qin Zhou’s tone was serious.
Being by himself, it was free and also very relaxing.
Qin Zhou thought for a while and said, “Actually, I’m just a scumbag and don’t want to be responsible, so it’s better to break it off.”
Now, he didn’t want to respond to other people’s feelings yet, and still liked to be single.
“I don’t need you to be responsible.” He Yang was very stubborn and whispered: “Stay with me. I don’t want anything else.”
“Forget it.” Qin Zhou smiled and said, “Didn’t I have a car accident before? Just take it as I’m dead.”
“When I had a car accident, weren’t you just fine?”
Jiang Lin told him what happened three years ago.
After he had a car accident, He Yang’s reaction was very calm.
“You’ve lived well for those three years, so you can do it now too.” Qin Zhou smiled.
“It’s different.” He Yang lowered his head slightly, “It’s different…….”
Losing for the first time was different from losing again after regaining it.
“Don’t be sad.” Qin Zhou came over and stretched out his arms to hug He Yang.
Qin Zhou hugged the man very carefully and patted the man’s shoulder gently, “You will meet better people in the future.”
SUFFER <3
I really can’t see a way back… QZ is so independent now.
Whatever happens, I still don’t want them to be together for a lot of reasons.
Forgive my crow’s mouth, but is Shen Xiuzhu not abroad? If Qin Zhou is going to film abroad, I just have an inkling that something might go wrong 😭😭
Hopefully those nurses keep Shen Xiuzhu wrapped up though!
Thank You for the new chapter（*’∀’人）♥
Is He Yang ever going to have a character arc? He’s already been slapped hard with the consequences of his actions but rather then taking a good hard look at himself and changing for the better he’s instead decided to wallow in his own self-pity and try to guilt trip Yanyan into getting back to gether with him. If Yanyan breaking up with him isn’t enough to make him get his act together then I really don’t know what will be.
wanted to see QZ riding into the sunset, single free n happybuttotal chaps 194we r nt even halfway
i can’t believe we’re not even halfway. i’m fine with them not getting back together. i’m really proud of qin zhou he can be how he is right now, prioritize his own happiness, he’s not a slave love (bucin) like he was in those 5 years. now the table turns and he yang is the (toxic) slave love. no relationship will come out good if it’s forced. he yang really need to get therapy, open up, and just be a better person, not for qin zhou but for himself.
He spent those 5 years devoted to you. 5 YEARS! You didnt even realized you’re suffering during tje 3 years. You were okay passing by. Muddleheaded. Now suddenly uou woke up and said ‘ Dang it i missed the dude who were by my side for 5 years slaving for me. It sucks that hes not here’.
Mc is being real cruel with his kindness 😂 but I ain’t mad it
😭😭😭 Now, I just want He Yang to move on 😭 MC doesn’t want you anymore HY, please just let go 😭 You two ain’t for each other srsly 😭 Just stop 😭
This ship had sunk and I don’t care anymore 🥲 it’s better than them hurting each other again again 🥲
Ps. This is the first ship that I gave up on 🥲
