It took ten days to half a month before Yang Lei had pretty much recovered.

Fang Yu had been taking care of him. Yang Lei used to think that Fang Yu knew how to take care of people, and now it was even more evident. 7fOnle

Yang Lei had told Fang Yu that this matter couldn’t be blamed on anyone, and he was willing. Fang Yu still acted like it was his responsibility and took care of Yang Lei meticulously.

But the more Fang Yu took care of him, the more uncertain Yang Lei was instead.

He was very afraid that Fang Yu would regret it.

He didn’t know if Fang Yu really accepted his feelings, or if it was just because of momentary impulsiveness, and he just didn’t want the two of them to break off completely like that and wanted to make him stay. DR9uI8

Several times, Yang Lei had the words on the tip of his tongue and wanted to ask, but he also felt that he should give Fang Yu time.

How could it be that easy to come around? Didn’t he himself also think for a long time before he figured it out?

Furthermore, that night, Fang Yu’s kiss and Fang Yu’s passion were not fake. Was it possible to do that with someone you didn’t have feelings for and who was also of the same sex?

So Yang Lei was at ease.

During that time, he was like a sneaky cat. Once they were alone, he would hug Fang Yu and kiss him.

Yang Lei thought that it was very exciting to kiss Fang Yu in broad daylight outside.

There were several Chinese parasol trees behind the small building, with luxuriant foliage and very large crowns. Even if one were to stand at the window upstairs and look down, they would still be blocked by the layers of the tree’s crown, and wouldn’t be able to see below.

There were many wild flowers in the grass by the tree. Behind it, there was also a small pavilion. Inside the pavilion, there were stone tables, stone chairs, and whatnot. It was very cool when the weather was hot. Aunt Zhang and the others would bring lunch and dinner to eat at this pavilion. Especially in the summer, they would light the incense to keep mosquitoes away. Several families would eat, chat, and cool off here. When the weather was nice, they could even see stars all over the sky. It was really incomparably pleasant, and it left very good memories with Yang Lei. SId675

Yang Lei grew up under these parasol trees. He was quite romantic. At the beginning of puberty in adolescence, he even thought that if he had a sweetheart later, he definitely had to bring her here and kiss her under this tree.

That day, Aunt Zhang and Mr. Liu were working in the vegetable garden in the southeast corner of the courtyard. Fang Yu also went to help. Fang Yu grew up in the city, and he found these pea seedlings, red peppers, and whatnot quite new. In particular, Mr. Liu had even planted a kind of spice. This spice that was used for cooking came from Southeast Asia. Mr.Liu got the seed with difficulty and was trying to grow it, and it was growing well. He showed Fang Yu how to use and plant this seed in great detail. Fang Yu listened very attentively. Grand Century Restaurant was creating new dishes, and Fang Yu thought he could put this spice into the dishes and create new recipes. Perhaps it would work. Thus, he attentively consulted Mr. Liu, squatting in the garden and intently studying that spice.

As the saying went: “Men who were concentrating were the most charming.” Yang Lei watched Fang Yu on the side, watching his serious and focused appearance, his calm and resolute expression, and there was an itch in Yang Lei’s heart.

The sunlight shone on Fang Yu brightly. The lush green vegetable seedlings, the brilliant red peppers, the crisp autumn wind with the fragrance of soil, along with the person before his eyes, made Yang Lei’s heart feel intoxicated. His gaze slid down along Fang Yu’s neck, sliding into Fang Yu’s open shirt collar. His heart was itched even more like a cat was scratching it. gPdCdY

“Fang Yu, come here. I need you for something.”

Yang Lei’s expression was very normal. He went over and pulled Fang Yu up.

Fang Yu really thought that Yang Lei needed something. He followed him around the corner and arrived under the parasol tree behind the small building.

“What is it?” w3vOPE

Just as Fang Yu asked, Yang Lei pushed him onto the tree trunk and kissed him.

“…Stop messing around!”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Fang Yu was annoyed by Yang Lei’s constantly unpredictable actions.

“…No one saw…” rQeD1h

Yang Lei hugged Fang Yu, and tilted his head to kiss him.

At this place, there was truly no one who could see them. Fang Yu was stirred up by Yang Lei’s kissing, and hugged Yang Lei, pulling him onto his body and kissing him back.

Sunlight came in through the parasol tree’s leaves and left bright dots, enshrouding the two people hugging and kissing under the tree. The sunlight’s shadows swayed gently, like a scene of the purest love in a school film…

The two of them dared not kiss for too long. These stolen kisses like they were doing something wrong deepened their feelings. Their lips parted with difficulty. Fang Yu straightened Yang Lei’s messy clothes, and Yang Lei bit at his cheek. DCUNFv

“Xiao Yu! Come help me out!”

Mr. Liu’s voice came from behind the building.

“Coming!”

Fang Yu raised his voice to reply. He and Yang Lei looked at each other and smiled… BOepGh

Li San and the others said, Yang Lei definitely must be deeply in love recently.

Yang Lei was abnormal, too abnormal.

When he hung out with this group of brothers, Yang Lei always seemed to have something on his mind. He would find an excuse and leave first. His energy from before to bring a group of people to recklessly go crazy, was all gone.

“Lei Ge, you’re not being loyal? You’re leaving again?” XiHCSw

The brothers were all downcast.

“You all have fun! I’ll pay for everything!”

Yang Lei was very generous.

Could Yang Lei tell them where this “beauty” came from? If he said it aloud, wouldn’t they be scared to death?! gUFYI2

“Enough, enough. Stop guessing blindly! I’m leaving!”

Yang Lei left quickly. That impatient appearance made all the brothers behind him laugh.

Yan Ziyi was also very happy because Yang Lei was really too handy recently. Wherever he pointed, he would put in effort there. He had never seen him this amiable and happy before. In the office, he was even humming. His entire face was glowing. Did he still have any of the reckless energy from before, when he always brought people to look for fights everywhere?

“What is it, Lei-zi? Did something good happen?” 9ldwbi

Even Yan Ziyi was puzzled.

“Something good! Definitely!” Yang Lei said.

“Say it aloud!”

Yan Ziyi was even more curious. JAeTGn

“Secret!”

Yang Lei just messed with his boss like this. There weren’t many people in Jianghu who dared to talk to Yan Ziyi like this.

Yan Ziyi slapped Yang Lei on the head, but seeing Yang Lei’s current condition, Yan Ziyi was really happy and relieved.

If a person fell deeply in love, the entire world was beautiful. rfR3kL

Li San, Chuan-zi, and these brothers that were closest with Yang Lei could all tell that this time, Yang Lei was serious. Which one of his sweethearts before hadn’t they met? But the one this time, no matter how they asked, Yang Lei just wouldn’t say, and he would never bring her for them to see. It was like seeing a dragon’s head but not seeing its tail, but he always spaced out and smiled dumbly. This nearly made Li San, Chuan-zi, and the others’ jaws drop. Had they ever seen Yang Lei as dazed as this? They never had!

All the brothers guessed that Yang Lei had definitely met a goddess.

Because Fang Yu and Yang Lei were tight, along with last time, the two sides joined forces to find Zhou Er for revenge, and they were all quite close. So right now, Fang Yu’s brothers and Yang Lei’s men were also like a family, and they often hung out together. Sometimes, Fang Yu was also there. Li San, Chuan-zi, and the others couldn’t help but ask Fang Yu.

“Yu Ge, have you seen our Lei Ge’s sweetheart?” clezvP

Li San and Chuan-zi thought that, even though they hadn’t seen her, Fang Yu had definitely seen her.

What kind of relationship did Fang Yu and Yang Lei have? Right now, there was no one else in Yang Lei’s eyes. He only recognized Fang Yu. Everyone on the streets knew this.

“…He has a sweetheart?” Fang Yu said.

“How could he not? He’s head over heels. Even when we ask, he never says! He only smiles dumbly!” Ez3lOh

Chuan-zi was too embarrassed to describe Yang Lei’s dazed appearance to Fang Yu.

“This time, there’s an eighty percent chance that he’s serious. Yu Ge, you must ask him. He only listens to you.”

“…”

Fang Yu didn’t speak. The darkness of the KTV room covered Fang Yu’s expression. ZHUzD5

Outside, in front of other people, Yang Lei and Fang Yu were very in sync. They wouldn’t let others see anything abnormal.

Neither of them had discussed this issue, but they both tacitly understood each other. Outside, Yang Lei treated Fang Yu the same as he had before, the same as he treated all his good brothers. He wasn’t abnormal at all. They would even hold back the gaze with which they looked at each other.

Although the two of them had taken this step, to them, this journey had not really begun.

They were both intentionally avoiding this problem, avoiding thinking more about deeper problems. They both knew that if they thought too much, then it could never be easy again. gcrI2h

They both instinctively enjoyed the current feeling. If this world only had their feelings, things would be much simpler.

Unfortunately, this world couldn’t possibly be a world of only two people. Later, they fully understood this.

Fang Yu’s subordinate, Er Hei, was back.

Other than Lao Liang and Hua Mao, Er Hei was the third general under Fang Yu’s leadership. He hadn’t been in Jianghai all this time, but he was instead out of town collecting debts for Luo Jiu’s debt collection business. KQv5Pb

In the gangdom at that time, collecting debt was a major business. They used violent and aggressive methods to force people to pay back the money. However, in terms of general principles, they wouldn’t go against morals, because it was perfectly justified to pay back one’s debt.

Er Hei had very deep feelings towards Fang Yu.

Er Hei didn’t follow Fang Yu from the beginning. Rather, initially, he followed another big gangster leader, Lai Laozhou. Right now, Lai Laozhou had long been pushed down by Yan Ziyi, Luo Jiu, and the others. He had practically disappeared from Jianghu, but in those years, he was still Luo Jiu’s opponent. Later, he was utterly beat into submission by Luo Jiu and Fang Yu. When Lai Laozhou’s people and Luo Jiu’s people crazily fought and ganged up on each other many times, as Lai Laozhou’s fighter, Er Hei had many violent encounters with Fang Yu, but Fang Yu always defeated him.

At that time, Fang Yu was young and vigorous. His fighting skills were impressive, and he was very brave. He fought extremely fiercely. When he was really starting to become known, there weren’t many people who could escape from his hands. After several fights and defeats, Lai Laozhou was furious, and he took his anger out on his subordinates. Er Hei was the first to suffer, and he was ruthlessly cut by Lai Laozhou before them all. Although Er Hei was Fang Yu’s opponent, someone he had defeated, Fang Yu hated seeing bosses beating their own little brothers the most. Seeing this scene, he couldn’t stand it anymore. He went up and challenged Lai Laozhou. iMHcyU

Er Hei disliked Lai Laozhou’s behavior to begin with. He risked his life for him purely for a future. He hadn’t thought that at this time, even his own people wouldn’t speak up for him. The one who stood up for him turned out to be Fang Yu, who should have looked forward to him being cut the most. So how could Er Hei’s heart not be touched and moved?

Ever since that time, Er Hei completely broke off with Lai Laozhou, and he went to find Fang Yu. But at that time, Fang Yu had a rule. People who had injured his brothers all couldn’t follow him. Not only had Er Hei injured them, he had also injured many of them. Could Fang Yu agree? But Er Hei was someone who would be utterly determined to follow someone who convinced him. In order to make Fang Yu agree, when Fang Yu led people to fight with another group of people, Er Hei rushed to the very front. Furthermore, this fight was extremely terrible. In order to protect other brothers, Er Hei was heavily injured. He nearly gave up his life. Fang Yu was touched by this matter. Ever since then, Er Hei kept following Fang Yu, and like Lao Liang and the others, he was Fang Yu’s good brother for life.

Not only could Er Hei fight, he was also very smart. His nickname was “Little Zhuge”, and he was the strategist of this gang.

He had more brains than Lao Liang, he was more normal than Hua Mao, and he was slyer than Fang Yu. In today’s society, Er Hei was the one who would be best off out of these people. D1PTX2

The reason why Luo Jiu asked Er Hei to go out and collect debts was also because he appreciated that he wouldn’t recklessly use force. He would use finesse, and he wouldn’t cause trouble.

For example, when Er Hei went somewhere to collect debts, if there were many accounts at that place and he had to stay there for a long time, Er Hei would first communicate and establish relationships with local people both in and out of the gangdom. He would become acquainted with them, and he wouldn’t offend either side. When something came up, he could even get some protection. It could be seen that Er Hei truly knew his way around society. He knew that one couldn’t rely on their fists to get by in society.

Before, when Fang Yu went into the police station, Er Hei was also very anxious when he knew about it. But he was out of town and Luo Jiu didn’t allow him to come back. Now that he finally finished work and came back, that night at the Grand Century Restaurant, he waited for Fang Yu at the reception feast that Fang Yu had arranged for him. Once he saw Fang Yu, Er Hei went over and gave Fang Yu a big hug.

“Ge! I’ve missed you so much!” cXSBjL

Er Hei hadn’t seen Fang Yu in a long time, and he was very excited.

Er Hei hugged him purely as he would hug a comrade, although he was excited, and he truly hugged a little long. Yang Lei, who was watching from the sidelines, was unhappy.

“Enough, enough. Don’t you find it cringy?”

Yang Lei intentionally teased him. zlE7u0

Er Hei laughed loudly. Although Er Hei and Yang Lei only met a few times before he left, their relationship was still pretty good.

This time Er Hei came back, he also brought good news: He was about to have a wedding.

Er Hei’s wife was a virtuous girl. Everyone was happy for him.

That night, a group of people went to sing. Er Hei and Fang Yu hadn’t seen each other in a long time. He dragged Fang Yu to the bar above the KTV to drink and chat. MZDIRG

Both of them drank quite a lot and talked quite a lot.

Er Hei told Fang Yu about collecting debt out of town, things big and small, especially when he was in Lu City, where he fought with a local tough gangster. That dominant tough gangster in Lu City was the backing of the person Er Hei was collecting debt from. Right after Er Hei went, he found out about the situation, and he didn’t use force. He first used food and drink to win over this tough gangster. However, this tough gangster drank his wine, accepted his money, and received benefits, but in the end, he backstabbed them and even injured Er Hei’s brother. Er Hei fought against him, and the method that he used was quite extreme. Er Hei’s mentality was always to win over if he could win over, and be on good terms if possible. If you change your attitude, then I’ll go for your life. Let’s see who can be crueler.

“Right now, he’s been taken care of by me. He won’t say a word! His temper is gone!”

Er Hei was very proud. CD1pZL

But after Fang Yu heard the entire process of how he dealt with this matter, he felt that it was inappropriate.

“Did you mention Jiu Ge?”

“I did! Can I not say it? Once I say Jiu Ge’s name, he’ll be scared to death!”

Fang Yu furrowed his brows. His experience made him feel that this matter was inappropriate. AMYwCt

“Next time, keep quiet. Strong dragons won’t crush local snakes. If you’re going to do it, do it quietly. Don’t bring Jiu Ge trouble in the future.”

Fang Yu had been a big gangster for many years. Fang Yu wasn’t a pushover. When he should be ruthless, he was ruthless. Otherwise, he couldn’t make it to this position.

“What are you afraid of! Yu Ge, you don’t trust me to do things? That idiot was really subdued. He definitely won’t dare to show his teeth!”

Er Hei was very confident. 1MvcdO

But the later events proved that Fang Yu’s concern was correct.

The aftermath of this incident brought about the great shock later. The impact of this shock was like an earthquake to Jianghai’s gangdom. It ruined Luo Jiu, and it ruined Fang Yu.

The two of them spoke about Er Hei’s marriage. Fang Yu was also happy for Er Hei.

“It’s not easy for people like us to properly have a family. After you get married, I’ll tell Jiu Ge to let others do the debt collection. You come to my restaurant and do some proper work. It’s more secure,” Fang Yu said. EOd21P

Fang Yu was truly considering his brother.

“Thanks, Yu Ge. To tell you the truth, after messing around on the streets for a long time, you’re truly not at ease. Ever since I’ve had Xiao Qin, I’ve just wanted to live peacefully. A few years ago, I wouldn’t even believe that I would think like this.”

Er Hei was also speaking from his heart.

Gangsters like them who came out into the gangdom, no matter if it was for loyalty, fame, money, or success, when they got to a certain point, they wouldn’t be able to continue. This was unrelated to courage. This was just a human need. The need to live life. kRddHy

Fang Yu nodded.

Er Hei took a sip of wine and looked at Fang Yu.

Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

“Yu Ge, what about you?”

Fang Yu knew what he was asking. U63j8z

“Still single?”

Er Hei knew that ever since Fang Yu and that previous girlfriend broke up, Fang Yu had never dated. When he and the brothers spoke of it in private, they all felt that Fang Yu was the kind of person who didn’t easily fall in love, but once he fell in, it would be very dangerous for someone like him.

“No need to hesitate. Find someone who’s good to you, and hurry up and start a family. Look at me. Right now, I’m steady and content in whatever I do. Why? I have a goal! I want to let my wife live a good life. Later, when I have a kid, I’ll be a good dad. What a motivation that is! This feeling is real, seriously. It’s never felt this real before.”

Er Hei was attractive, and was used to playing around. But right now, he really felt that men should still have a family. TZxAtj

“Yu Ge, do you have someone in your heart right now or not?”

Seeing that Fang Yu wasn’t speaking, Er Hei continued to ask.

Fang Yu was silent for a while. Er Hei thought that he would still say “no” as usual. Unexpectedly, Fang Yu said:

“Yes.” Dw xtQ

“Really? What kind of person?” Er Hei was interested.

“Very good,” Fang Yu said.

“…Extremely good.”

“Isn’t that a good thing?! Why is your expression like this?” TcMdNe

Er Hei looked confusedly at Fang Yu’s face full of worries.

Fang Yu drank wine. Only the alcohol could make his mind less sober.

“…I think that it’s not right for me to be with them. It’s not right, it’s not normal. …It will harm them, and it will harm me!”

“…” dWodDU

Er Hei was confused. He looked at Fang Yu, perplexed.

“…But I just can’t let them go!”

Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

Fang Yu suddenly downed the wine in his glass and spoke painfully.

“I fucking… really want to take them away, and go to an isolated place! Who cares if it’s normal or not, I’ll just be with them, the two of us!” VDmxy5

Fang Yu’s alcohol tolerance wasn’t good, and he was drinking with things on his mind. He was already starting to get drunk.

“Yu Ge, Yu Ge…”

Er Hei started to take away his wine glass. The more Er Hei listened, the more confused he was. He supported him.

“Are they… a married woman? That’s nothing. Won’t it be over once they get divorced?” 2k3MRD

“Nonsense!”

Fang Yu was very annoyed.

“Okay, okay. I’m saying nonsense. Let’s stop drinking, okay?”

Er Hei looked at Fang Yu in concern. w2akRS

After following Fang Yu for so many years, he had never seen Fang Yu like this because of his feelings. Never.

“If it’s really that hard, then forget it?” Er Hei urged him. “Where can’t you find a good partner?”

For someone like Fang Yu, what kind of beauty couldn’t he get??

“I only acknowledge them!!” BHx3Ou

Fang Yu screamed like he was competing against someone. Fang Yu was really drunk.

“Okay, okay, you only acknowledge them…”

Er Hei was helpless.

  1. I really dislike the little flash forwards :((

    I wanna know how he ruined the boss and Fang Yu..

    But these little bits of domestic fluff make my heart happy!

    Thanks for the chapter <3

  2. Just a mini peeve/complaint. Sorry Translator no offense meant. I LOVE this novel/plot and characters etc but I cannot help but feel annoyed at the foreshadowing/peeks into the future. I feel like they ruin surprises, twists and major events. Vague ones would be fine but too much of the later plot is being revealed. I WILL keep reading though and THANK YOU translator.
