He didn’t make it difficult for Chu Cheng and made him stand up. Seeing that he didn’t speak, Chu Cheng spoke again, “Zhouzhou, I can’t watch you get into trouble and not care about you, especially since this isn’t a big deal to me. You aren’t in trouble, you’re fine. When we were separated, I accepted it. But you encountered something that may have a bad impact on you, you didn’t want me to intervene, you even thought of Yu Anyi, and wanted her to help you, but didn’t come to me, I can’t accept that, understand?”
“You couldn’t handle it so you found your friend to help, Anyi is your friend, so you going to her isn’t a problem. But I can’t accept it. I can’t accept that you wouldn’t come to me when something happened, I’m protective and possessive of you, you’re my person, whether separated or not, when something happens, you should come to me first, if you don’t come, then I’ll go to you.”
“You’re right, how many things can you encounter in your life, this may be the worst thing that happens in your life, if you move on, you won’t be afraid of anything. But, if that happens, you really won’t need me anymore, will you?” Chu Cheng looked at him and said seriously, “I don’t accept it, I can’t accept this result.”
He was already used to Ji Qingzhou’s dependence on him, used to taking the initiative to help Ji Qingzhou to smooth out the troubles he encountered. The day Ji Qingzhou’s contract ended and he needed to move out of his house, Chu Cheng didn’t feel it was unacceptable, he knew that even if their relationship was dissolved, he would still help him and let him have a better future, so he let him go.
The day Ji Qingzhou told him he had found a house and didn’t need his attention, Chu Cheng felt depressed but didn’t feel it was unacceptable because Ji Qingzhou was talking to him on the other end of the phone, he felt his wings had grown hard, but in the end this fledgling was still in a safe nest.
Later in the underground garage, Ji Qingzhou told him to let go, he suppressed his emotions, but also accepted it, that day, seeing that he left the rose, he subconsciously felt that he was going to come back.
But until the matter of Fang Yaoxuan came up, when Ji Qingzhou said, “I’ll bear it, I’m not afraid of anything”, in that moment, Chu Cheng truly panicked. Their beginning was based on the fact that Ji Qingzhou needed him and needed his money; their getting along was based on the fact that Ji Qingzhou relied on him and was willing to let him interfere with all of his affairs. Once Ji Qingzhou no longer needed him, no longer relied on him, then what could he do? At that time, could he still get him back?
He always felt that he was able to recover Ji Qingzhou, so he had time to think about his love and his so-called lifetime, however, at that moment, Chu Cheng felt that he had no time left.
He recognized his own mind at that moment, hasty, hurried, anxious towards the person he wanted to chase back, he was like a passenger chasing a train that had sounded the whistle ready to depart, not caring about the scenery and others along the road, running all the way forward, only hoping that the other hadn’t learned to fly.
Of course Ji Qingzhou could grow, could have his own blue sky, but all this, had to be under his watchful eye, in his company. He was full of excitement and determination, and at the last second, caught the train.
Ji Qingzhou listened to his words, he was silent for a while, and finally, smiled and said to him, “Okay.”
What he could give Chu Cheng was actually not much, Chu Cheng didn’t lack anything, he was born to be the pride of the sky, so what he could give was only his own unadulterated love and unreserved trust. If this dependence and attachment was what Chu Cheng wanted, Ji Qingzhou was willing to give him, all his dependence, it was originally with the person in front of him, delivering it to him again wasn’t something that couldn’t be.
“So can you get up now?”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Chu Cheng smiled a little, slowly stood up and sat next to him. He looked at Ji Qingzhou and wanted to say something to him, but his eyes inadvertently looked at his neck, only then did Chu Cheng notice that there was nothing on his neck, and he was stunned for a moment, quietly gazing at his neck with fear for no reason – Ji Qingzhou had really given up on him.
Ji Qingzhou noticed his eyes, looked down and instantly understood why his expression suddenly changed, “You think too much.” He pulled out the jade pendant from his pocket, “I just recently filmed a scene, it wasn’t appropriate to wear it around my neck, so I had to put it in my pocket.”
Chu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, his tense body relaxed slightly, and he even wanted to celebrate, “I thought you took it off.”
Ji Qingzhou looked at the pendant around his neck and said softly, “Before you take it off, I won’t take it off.”
“Then you may not be able to take it off for the rest of your life.” Chu Cheng laughed.
Ji Qingzhou smiled and put the necklace back, thinking it would be nice if they could last a lifetime.
He didn’t say this to Chu Cheng, but asked, “Don’t you want to take a nap? Sleep, I only have a scene to shoot this afternoon, although Fang Yaoxuan had an accident, brother Zhou asked the director, he said filming will continue.”
Chu Cheng nodded, but suddenly remembered his previous question, “Where did you get the knife? Where did you start the conflict?”
“It was at the entrance there.” Ji Qingzhou didn’t hide anything from him, “The knife in my pocket, I’ve always had the habit of carrying it, but you don’t have to worry, it’s a small pocket knife. If Fang Yaoxuan hadn’t forced me this time, I definitely wouldn’t have used it. I know my limits.”
Chu Cheng was stunned, he and Ji Qingzhou had been together for a year, he had never known that Ji Qingzhou had this habit.
“So, when we were together, you also carried it?”
“Sometimes with, sometimes without.” Ji Qingzhou said, “I took it with me all the time after I separated from you.”
When he was with Chu Cheng, because he knew that Chu Cheng’s background and skills were very powerful, most of the time, he was very at ease, sometimes he wouldn’t carry it. But after separating from Chu Cheng, he was alone, so he habitually put the knife back in his pocket again, like when he was a child, thinking that in case he encountered something he couldn’t stop, at least there was a way.
“You just put it in your pocket?”
JI Qingzhou nodded. “It’s easy to take when I use it like that.”
Chu Cheng thought he was quite thoughtful, “I didn’t know you had this habit before.”
Ji Qingzhou thought about it, and slowly replied, “You know, I grew up with my mother, when my parents divorced, I just started my first year. I grew up without siblings, and when my dad moved out after the divorce, I was left with my mom. I thought it wouldn’t make any difference, but then I slowly realized that there was actually a difference. I used to talk to my mom about what was bothering me, but I didn’t anymore, because I thought she was having a hard time. Other people have fathers and siblings, and when they’re angry, they have someone to stand up for them and protect them, but I don’t, so I felt I needed to protect myself.”
“I even took a sparring class before, can you believe it?”
Chu Cheng shook his head, “I can’t tell.”
“Because it was learned as a child, I find it very simple, I remember our teacher made us run for twenty minutes first, so I’ve been running, I think as long as I run fast enough, others can’t hit me.” Ji Qingzhou laughed.
Chu Cheng also smiled, “That’s true.”
“I was still in school at that time, my main job was to learn, our school was strict, sometimes on Saturdays there were classes, every day there were several papers to write, and on Sundays I wanted to stay at home with my mother, so there wasn’t so much time to do anything else, I only had few sparring lessons then I gave up.”
“Then one time, I went out with my classmate, my classmate liked knives, so he went to add to his collection. I decided to get one then, I mostly left it in my pocket, if I encounter people that want to bully me, when I can’t fight, at least I’d have something. Otherwise, if the other was serious, then what would I do? I still have my mother, If I die, she’d be left alone.”
Ji Qingzhou finished speaking and quietly looked at Chu Cheng.
“So, the day you came home with me, you also had a knife in your pocket? It seems I was quite lucky that you didn’t pull a knife on me.”
Ji Qingzhou shook his head, “Not that day.”
At that time he just transmigrated, he didn’t have time to buy it, and then he stayed with Chu Cheng for a while, only then did he buy one, in his first 22 years of life, the knife never came in handy, so he didn’t tell Chu Cheng.
He thought he would never use it, but to his surprise, he did.
“I’ve never wanted to use it.” Ji Qingzhou whispered, “Even if it was Fang Yaoxuan, I didn’t want to use it. It’s bad behavior, I don’t want that.”
Chu Cheng saw him silently lower his head as he spoke, he reached out and took him into his arms, comforting him, “I know, you couldn’t help it, you were just trying to protect yourself, it’s okay.”
Ji Qingzhou was a little sad, he leaned against Chu Cheng and felt his heart souring up little by little. The only time he slapped Fang Yaoxuan, was because Fang Yaoxuan first raised his hand and tried to hit him. But now, because of Fang Yaoxuan, he did what he didn’t want to do.
If only he hadn’t opened the door for Fang Yaoxuan that day, Ji Qingzhou thought, if only he hadn’t provoked Fang Yaoxuan and said he was just using him, or if only Fang Yaoxuan hadn’t been drinking and hadn’t been provoked by him and hadn’t wanted to do those things. But there were so many ifs in this world, so he could only gather up this mood and continue to go forward.
“Do you think I should carry a knife in the future?” He asked Chu Cheng.
Chu Cheng knew how much it still affected him. He looked calm on the surface, but his heart was far less calm. He didn’t want such a thing to happen again, but he was afraid of him encountering such a thing again and not even having the ability to resist.
Chu Cheng couldn’t believe that if Ji Qingzhou didn’t have this habit, Fang Yaoxuan would have gotten his way. As soon as he thought of this possibility, his whole body couldn’t help but tremble and his heart was full of fear.
“I’ll give you something else.” He said, “You don’t have a cold personality, if this happens again, you may not be able to bear it, but you need something to make you feel at ease.”
“What?” Ji Qingzhou curiously asked.
Chu Cheng smiled, “When the time comes, you’ll know, rest assured, it’s better than this.”
Ji Qingzhou thought he was being secretive, “Then okay, anyway, I won’t let others bully me.”
“Who can bully you, not to mention Fang Yaoxuan, even I, was shocked.” Chu Cheng now remembered his mood when he heard what happened, he still felt shocked, he always thought he raised a small sheep, docile and kissable, who thought he was like a small goat, when it couldn’t retreat, it would use its sharp horns to protect itself.
Ji Qingzhou looked at him, smiled and said in a warm voice, “Only you can bully me like this.”
Chu Cheng didn’t expect him to say that, his heart felt slightly, “I don’t want to bully you.” He looked at Ji Qingzhou and kissed his forehead, “You’re the one I love the most.”
Ji Qingzhou heard these words, looked up at him and smiled.

CC has same thought as me, if you love someone you can’t bring yourself to bully them…. That’s why I don’t like romances where mc Or fmc are bullied by their love
My single heart!~ 🤧💘
Tbh it’s very reassuring to carry some small weapon (pocket knife, pepper spray, electric shocker). As a woman, I can relate 🤧
I mean, I don’t want to hurt anyone but I also don’t want to be hurt by anyone 😭
