KEIGHTY: Special thanks to lemontea! (Extra Chapter 4/5)
When He Yu returned to Fu Chenshan’s house in the evening, he felt a little exhausted. It’s not because he’s tired from work. The physical fatigue is far less than the pressure in his heart. Maybe it’s because he’s too tense. Even now, he still finds it difficult to relax.
There was no light on in the room, and He Yu didn’t know if Fu Chenshan was at home. He closed the door, relaxed his body, and leaned against the door. He closed his eyes, raised his hand, and wiped his face.
The door of Fu Chenshan’s room suddenly opened, and an orange light seeped out from the door. He Yu heard the sound of Fu Chenshan walking out.
“You’re at home.” He Yu lowered his body and began to take off his shoes.
“Well.” Fu Chenshan stood in front of He Yu and looked at He Yu’s loose clothes, which were obviously other men’s clothes.
He Yu put on his slippers and walked inside. As he walked, he took off his outer shirt and said, “I’m going to take a shower first.”
Fu Chenshan grabbed his arm when he passed by him.
He Yu stopped and looked at him. “What?”
Fu Chenshan grasped He Yu’s hand tightly, then relaxed his grip and asked him, “Where did you spend the night last night? Was it at Qiao Mudong’s place?”
He Yu’s mind went blank for a moment, and he only thought about why Fu Chenshan thought of Qiao Mudong. Did Ling Zhilu recognize him today?
Fu Chenshan saw He Yu lowering his head, his face a little pale, and his lips pursed tightly. He suddenly raised his hand with force. “That was really you in Qiao Mudong’s office today, wasn’t it? Zhilu told me. I, I still couldn’t believe it! Xiao Yu, what are you doing?”
He Yu’s arm hurt from being pinched by him, so he twisted hard to get rid of him.
Fu Chenshan, however, held on tightly and refused to let go, saying in a deep voice, “Do you have to be like this?”
He Yu felt his anger rising. “What’s wrong with me?”
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.
Fu Chenshan said, “Are you fooling around with that bastard named Qiao? Why don’t you love yourself so much?”
He Yu didn’t expect Fu Chenshan to say such ridiculous things, and he was so angry that he almost laughed. “What love yourself? I am free to be with whomever I want; what does it have to do with you?”
Fu Chenshan’s voice suddenly became louder: “Before your mother passed away, I promised her that I would take good care of you in the future!”
He Yu suddenly felt heartache. He punched Fu Chenshan in the face. “Don’t mention my mother! What qualifications do you have to mention my mother?!”
That punch was very powerful. He Yu had done a lot of physical work in prison, and the strength of his arm was not comparable to that of Fu Chenshan, who had been sitting in an office for three years.
He was knocked back two steps by He Yu’s punch and stumbled, holding on to the wall before he could stand still. He Yu dropped his hands by his side and felt himself slightly trembling. When he raised his head, he saw that half of Fu Chenshan’s face was red, and the skin on his cheekbones was already scathed.
Fu Chenshan lowered his head and leaned against the wall. His voice suddenly softened. “You’re right, I’m the one who should be sorry for you and Auntie. I have no right to mention her.”
He Yu gasped lightly, took two steps back, and sat on the armrest of the sofa, raising his hand to press his forehead.
Fu Chenshan stood up straight and said to He Yu, “You should take a shower first. It’s getting late. Have a good rest.” Then he went back to his room and closed the door from the inside.
He Yu went to take a shower. After washing, he dug out the medicine box in the bathroom and found two band-aids. He walked to Fu Chenshan’s room and knocked on the door gently. He was not sure whether Fu Chenshan was already asleep.
Who would have thought that after only two knocks, Fu Chenshan opened the door from the inside.
Seeing that his cheeks were still red, He Yu raised the band-aid in his hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
Fu Chenshan stepped aside. “Come in.”
There was only one desk lamp turned on in the room, and the quilt on the bed had been spread out. Fu Chenshan, wearing plaid pajamas, sat down by the bed.
He Yu stood beside him, kneeling on the bed with one leg. His head was buried in helping Fu Chenshan apply a band-aid.
Because the lights were a little dim, He Yu was so close that Fu Chenshan could almost feel his breathing. The movements of He Yu’s finger were very gentle. Because he had just taken a shower, he was exuding a warm and moist smell.
He helped Fu Chenshan patch up the wound, and when he stepped away, Fu Chenshan held his hand.
He Yu wanted to withdraw his hand, but Fu Chenshan’s grip tightened.
Fu Chenshan asked, “Xiao Yu, how did you meet Qiao Mudong?”
His tone was calm, as if he were just chatting with He Yu, so He Yu couldn’t lose his temper. He remained silent, not knowing how to answer Fu Chenshan.
He and Qiao Mudong met in prison, but Ling Qiang must’ve tried his best to cover up the news that Qiao Mudong had been in prison. He was afraid that even Ling Zhilu and Fu Chenshan may not know.
Sure enough, the next moment he heard Fu Chenshan say, “Didn’t Qiao Mudong just come back from abroad two or three weeks ago? I heard that he was sent to France when he was in college. How did you get the chance to know him?”
France? He Yu couldn’t help but want to sneer. Ling Qiang really dared to talk nonsense. He bet that Qiao Mudong couldn’t even understand English, and now he studied in France? And listening to Fu Chenshan’s tone, everyone in Lingyun probably believed it.
How long can such a lie be kept hidden? He Yu really couldn’t figure it out. Probably in the end, everyone accepted Qiao Mudong’s identity as the eldest young master, and Lingyun was also successfully taken over by him. If everyone knew the truth, no one would care.
Fu Chenshan used a slight force on his hand to call back He Yu’s attention: “Xiao Yu, you haven’t answered my question yet.” They grew up together and knew each other’s friends clearly. Fu Chenshan didn’t think He Yu had the opportunity to meet people like Qiao Mudong.
He Yu thought for a while and said, “When I was in college.”
Although he and Fu Chenshan were studying at the same university, because they had different majors, they rarely met each other. They would only meet up to have a meal together after one or two months. At that time, He Yu didn’t dare pester Fu Chenshan too much to avoid him from noticing his affections, so he made many other friends and tried to get in touch with some people in the circle. Unfortunately, his relationship with them faded away later, and when he finally graduated from college and started working, he and Fu Chenshan were still tied together.
He Yu said that he met Qiao Mudong when he was in college, so Fu Chenshan couldn’t go into details because it was impossible for Qiao Mudong to never come back after several years in France, and he didn’t know who He Yu met outside at that time.
Maybe Qiao Mudong was supposed to be a passer-by in their lives, but because he suddenly became Ling Qiang’s illegitimate son, he brought different relationships to several people.
Although Fu Chenshan still had many questions to ask, he couldn’t ask any more. It’s because there is one thing that they both know very well, but no one wants to mention it again. That is, He Yu likes men, and for a long time, the man He Yu liked was Fu Chenshan.
Fu Chenshan himself did not accept He Yu, so he was not qualified to question He Yu: Don’t you like me? How can you be with another man?
It was because three years ago, he used He Yu’s feelings for him to make He Yu serve three years in prison for him. So, he was not qualified to question He Yu on behalf of He Yu’s mother: Why do you like men? Why can’t you just find a girl and be together happily?
Fu Chenshan let go of He Yu’s hand and said to him, “It’s getting late; go and rest.”
He Yu nodded, and before leaving Fu Chenshan’s room, he said to Chenshan, “I’m sorry.”
Fu Chenshan raised his head and looked at him with an incomprehensible expression.
He Yu said, “Don’t take the words I just said to heart. My mother was mad at me. It’s all my fault, and it has nothing to do with you.”
“I…” Fu Chenshan stood up.
“I’m going to bed now.” He Yu interrupted what he wanted to say and then closed the door for him. “Good night.”
That night, He Yu dreamed again.
He dreamed that he and Fu Chenshan were standing in a small room with no windows or doors, and Fu Chenshan said to him, “Xiao Yu, I will wait for you to come out, and then we can live a good life together.”
Then Fu Chenshan went out through an iron door that created more doors out of thin air. When Fu Chenshan went out, the iron door was closed tightly, and the whole room returned to its original appearance without doors and windows.
He Yu stayed alone in the room. He didn’t know how long it had passed. It seemed that it was time for the world to grow old.
Someone opened the door. Fu Chenshan and his mother stood at the door, waiting for him. One of them stretched out a hand towards him and said, “Xiao Yu, I’m home.”
He Yu was very happy. He walked over and held their hands, but he suddenly realized that his hands felt cold, and even his arms were cold. He was startled and woke up on the bed.
Only then did He Yu realize that his arms had been hanging outside the quilt at some point. Thinking that the dream was supposed to have a happy ending, he actually broke out in a cold sweat.
He turned over and wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, but he didn’t fall asleep again for a long time.
He Yu got up not long after dawn. While he was washing up in the bathroom, he heard the sound of the door of Fu Chenshan’s room opening. Fu Chenshan stood at the door of the bathroom, buttoning his shirt, and said to him, “I’ll take you to work.”
He Yu spit out the mouthwash and said, “Okay.”
Fu Chenshan was driving while He Yu was sitting in the passenger seat. Because it was still early to go out, the streets were not too congested.
While waiting at the red light, Fu Chenshan said to He Yu, “Xiao Yu, Qiao Mudong is not a good person. You’d better keep some distance from him.”
He Yu said nothing and looked ahead.
Fu Chenshan added, “He may not be able to stay in the Ling family for long.”
He Yu said slowly, “I know my own affairs, so you don’t have to worry.”
At this time, the green light had turned on. Fu Chenshan stepped on the accelerator and drove out without saying anything else.
Fu Chenshan this bastard is speaking as if he’s a good person. Who is he, who sent his best friend to prison in his own place and used his feelings to toy with him for his own benefit, to call anyone else a bad person. I can’t stand this guy. I hope he and his mean girlfriend just go away somehwere and leave He Yu alone.
Waiting for the biggest face-slap to fu chenshan and his arrogant girlfriend 😡
