Sure enough, this matter had become a big deal. With the students trashing the classroom, it became a more serious incident for both the school and the teacher.
Fatty Han was punished and had to write a self-reflection in order to repent, otherwise his parents would be notified that he wouldn’t be graduating.
But Fatty Han was still stubborn, “I’ll write a self-reflection, but first I have to find that person and beat them up. Afterwards, I’m willing to write as many words as you want!”
Lin Dongyang touched his forehead. After the wound was disinfected, a soft scab had formed. The dormitory was quiet as he calmed down. At that time, he was so angry, but now that he thought about it, what was the point of getting angry with his father?
However, even if he had to do it all over again, he still wouldn’t give in.
He felt dizzy and wanted to call Qiao Yichen to hear his voice. Lin Dongyang even purposely cleared his throat, afraid that Qiao Yichen would hear the difference, but…
“Hello, the number you are calling is currently switched off…”
Lin Dongyang’s hand trembled, his mobile phone fell to the ground, and the screen cracked instantly. He didn’t have time to care about anything else, picking it up and continuing to dial the number.
“Hello, the number you are calling is currently switched off…”
Lin Dongyang refused to believe it, he dialed the phone number again, but all he heard was the same cold mechanical female voice.
The things he feared didn’t happen, but unexpected things kept coming one after another.
The pillar that supported him and kept him from collapsing was gone, and in an instant, Lin Dongyang felt like the sky had collapsed. This was the fuse that ignited all of his grievances, all of his resentment, and all of the complaints that had been weighing on his heart for the past few days. His emotions were out of control.
“Ah—!!!”
He screamed, crying and tearing his lungs apart, and his despair could be heard throughout the dormitory.
Lin Dongyang cried until his voice was hoarse and then, feeling tired, he stopped and sat there motionless. His inner world had long since fallen apart.
He had no idea how much time had passed. He finally stopped being as stiff as a statue, opening his wardrobe in a daze and pulling out clothes at random. His neatly folded clothes were being thrown onto the floor.
He found the peaked-cap and mask he’d bought before and put them on, leaving a mess of clothes behind, he closed the door to the dormitory. He went down the stairs, out of the school, got into a taxi and left.
He left quietly, without anyone knowing.
When Fatty Han and the others returned, they thought that a thief had entered their dormitory, but after seeing that no one was in the bathroom, they found that it was even scarier than a thief entering.
The three of them hurriedly contacted Lin Dongyang. Fortunately, the mobile phone wasn’t turned off, “Where are you Yang-zi?”
“Don’t come looking for me, you won’t be able to find me.” Lin Dongyang’s voice sounded tired, making the three people’s hearts, which had already fallen back into their stomachs, get stuck in their throats again.
“Yang-zi, I know you’re feeling bad, but-but you mustn’t do anything stupid,” The three of them were pacing around their dormitory room, like three ants on a hot pan.

“I’m not stupid. It’s fine. I just went out to relax, no need to tell my parents, don’t make them worry.”
“Efjiis?”
“Sc. Ds atf kjs, P bkf sbe uesr j atjcx sbe.”

There was a loud laugh from the other side, “I suspect you’re cursing my Chen-ge, I’m going to tell him.”
“Vtjwfifrr, sbe’gf fnfc rfiilcu bea sbeg oglfcvr. Ktfc sbe mjc pera ub jcv mbwqijlc, P’ii rff lo tf mjc klatrajcv ws akb tecvgfv qbecv olra.”
The two people laughed and cursed at each other. The atmosphere seemed to return to what it was like in the past, causing Fatty Han’s heart to relax.
But the person who had promised to be good, didn’t return that night.
An Qi was stopped outside the villa. This was the first time he, the prospective son-in-law of the Qiao family, had been turned away by the Qiao family.
“Yong-ge, please let me in. I’ll go and persuade Yichen, really. Maybe he will listen to me.” An Qi pressed his hands together and pleaded desperately.
Jiang Xiaoyong furrowed his thick eyebrows, and said with difficulty, “Young Master An Qi, it’s not that I won’t let you in. It’s that chairman Qiao ordered me to not let you interfere with this matter.”
“But what can Uncle Qiao solve by locking him up like this? Please Yong-ge, I really have a big problem here!” Seeing his hesitant expression, An Qi realised he had an opportunity, so he took the initiative to take a small step back and said, “Then let me say one sentence, just one.”
“Young Master An Qi, I know you’re worried,” Jiang Xiaoyong was caught in a battle between Heaven and man, wanting to let the person go but not daring to do so. Just as he was hesitating on what to do, An Qi shouted, “Uncle Qiao!”
Inside the villa, Qiao Weiwei knocked on the door of Qiao Yichen’s room, and called out, “Ge, you have to eat something.” There was no response from inside the room, so Qiao Weiwei continued to call, “Ge.”
Qiao Yongfeng came upstairs to say something to her, and Qiao Weiwei left with tears in her eyes.
Qiao Yichen sat on the floor leaning against the bed, his eyes were red, and his hair was in a tangled mess. He looked even more disheveled than before. Qiao Yongfeng frowned, extremely dissatisfied with his current appearance.
Seeing that he still hadn’t touched the meal, Qiao Yongfeng was displeased, “Are you trying to waste my time by going on a hunger strike?”
Qiao Yichen turned his head slightly, but didn’t look at Qiao Yongfeng. “How long are you going to keep me locked up?”
“Until you agree.”
Qiao Yichen lowered his head again and kept silent as Qiao Yongfeng continued, “I ran into An Qi just now when I was coming back.”
As he expected, Qiao Yichen, who had chosen to ignore him before, raised his head instantly with an impatient expression that couldn’t be concealed.
“An Qi had a message for you, he said that he is missing. So if you insist on wasting time with me like this, then go ahead.” Qiao Yongfeng stood in the doorway blocking the way out, waiting for Qiao Yichen’s next answer. He wanted to see how long Qiao Yichen could stay stubborn.
“How can it be?” Qiao Yichen was incredulous as he got up from the ground. “Let me out, I want to see him first!”
“First, you have to agree,” Qiao Yongfeng frowned at his embarrassing appearance.
“I…”
“Get back to me when you’re ready.” Qiao Yongfeng really couldn’t look at him anymore, and turned to leave. The sound of the lock clicking broke Qiao Yichen’s last bit of remaining sanity.
The door was locked again, but he was desperate. It was hard to move in his own home, but he had promised that he would…
He turned his gaze to the window where the light was coming in from, and his eyes gradually became hot, the grasping a life-saving straw kind of hot.
His body couldn’t fit through the window, so he threw a chair at it so hard that all of the glass in the entire window shattered with a crash.
Without a moment’s hesitation, he jumped out of the window, as if he was escaping.
This was the second floor ah.
The sound of the glass shattering surprised Qiao Yongfeng, who was about to go back to his room. He hurriedly turned back and opened the door again but the room was already empty, and only broken glass remained on the floor.
Ye Lin also heard the noise and came over. Seeing the situation, she felt an ache in her heart, but she didn’t show too much urgency, and just said helplessly, “Let him go, he will come back.”
Qiao Yichen stumbled as he ran towards the gate and saw Jiang Xiaoyong who had just hung up the phone.
Originally, he was prepared to force his way out even if he had to fight, but Jiang Xiaoyong seemed to be waiting specifically to help open the door for him. He handed his car keys to Qiao Yichen and said, “Take my car, Chairman Qiao has taken all of your stuff.”
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoyong was willing to help him, he dispelled his hostility and said, “Thank you,” He was just about to leave when he added, “Yong-ge, lend me your mobile phone too.”
Jiang Xiaoyong lent his mobile phone to him without hesitation. Qiao Yichen dialed the number he knew by heart, but no one answered even after several tries.
Along the way, he hated the fact that he couldn’t fly the car like a plane. He didn’t have time to care about the traffic lights as he headed straight to his apartment on Xingguang Road.
There was only this one place, what if Lin Dongyang wasn’t there?
Qiao Yichen prayed, “Please let me find you.”
Lin Dongyang was curled up on his side, lying on the bed. His eyes were closed tightly, and his knitted brows were full of anxiety. There was a red and black bloody scar on his forehead, and his previously pink and soft lips were cracking due to lack of water. The whole person looked haggard and heartbreaking.
In a daze, Lin Dongyang felt someone touching his face, it tickled a little, so he opened his eyes.
“I woke you up.” Qiao Yichen’s heart felt like it had been gripped tightly by someone’s hand and then tugged hard.
“Qiao Yichen?” Lin Dongyang felt like he was dreaming. How could the person he couldn’t contact suddenly appear in front of him?”
“It’s me.” Qiao Yichen’s thumb was still smoothing out the furrows between Lin Dongyang’s eyebrows.
“Wu—”
Qiao Yichen panicked, and rushed to wipe away the tears from the corner of Lin Dongyang’s eyes. “Don’t cry, I’m here.”
“Qiao Yichen.” There must be magic in this name, just saying it made one feel at ease.
“I’m here.”
Lin Dongyang called out his name repeatedly, and Qiao Yichen didn’t get tired of answering ‘I’m here’. He cupped Lin Dongyang’s face and licked his dry lips, moistening them with his tongue, “I’ll go get you a glass of water.”
Lin Dongyang sniffed and said in a hoarse voice, “I’m hungry too.”
“I’ll cook noodles for you.”
“Okay.”
Qiao Yichen went into the kitchen to prepare the boiling water, but his hand that was holding the kettle kept trembling.
He hadn’t cried since he was a child, he thought that crying was the most useless thing in the world. But now he was looking up at the ceiling, forcing himself to hold back his tears. He admitted that what Qiao Yongfeng had said was true, ‘Without the Qiao family, you have nothing, no money, no power, no ability.’
Yes, he was nothing. He was a waste, with no money, no power and no ability! He couldn’t even stay by his side.
After collecting his emotions, Qiao Yichen came out with the noodles and put them on the bedside table, “It’s hot, and I don’t know if the noodles are salty or not this time.”
“As long as it’s not like the first time, it’s fine.” Lin Dongyang gave a faint smile, “How did you know I was here?”
He hadn’t touched a drop of water since he’d run out alone last night, and he was mentally fatigued. He threw himself headfirst into the bed where Qiao Yichen had once slept and drifted off to sleep, smelling the familiar scent. Not even the ringing of an incoming call woke him up. He knew because just now he had checked his missed calls.
“Because I’m the person closest to you, and I know all of your secrets.”
After letting the noodles cool for a while, Lin Dongyang took a bite and praised. “It’s delicious. Honey, you’re getting more and more amazing.”
“I’ll make whatever you want to eat, honey.”
Lin Dongyang pursed his lips and smiled. This was the first time they had called each other such a name, and unexpectedly they were already used to it.
“Why aren’t you eating?”
“I’m not hungry.”
Lin Dongyang stopped moving his chopsticks, “If you don’t eat, I’m not in the mood to eat either.”
As soon as these words fell, Qiao Yichen came over and opened his mouth to ask him for food. Amused by him, Lin Dongyang picked up some noodles and brought them to Qiao Yichen’s mouth. They shared the only food they had with the attitude of ‘You take a bite and I take a bite.’
Happiness was always short-lived, and Qiao Yichen knew that there was still something waiting for him to resolve. The longer it dragged on, the more damage it would do, which was the development he least wanted to see.
“Honey.” Qiao Yichen called out, “I have to leave for a while.”
Lin Dongyang was stunned, and immediately sat up. “Where are you going? Will you come back?”
Like he was coaxing a child, Qiao Yichen said, “I’ll be back in a bit, wait for me. Honey, be good and don’t run around.”
