KEIGHTY: Special thanks to Beverly‘s support <3 (Extra Chapter 2/2)
He Yu quickly opened the drawer and took out the document bag containing his ID and certificates. After hesitating for a moment, he opened the cabinet again to get his clothes. Although Fu Chenshan spent money to buy such clothes for him, leaving them here together with Fu Chenshan’s clothes doesn’t seem appropriate. He might as well take them away to avoid additional expenses.
Fu Chenshan came over and held He Yu’s arm. “Xiao Yu, don’t do this. I’ll go and persuade Zhilu. Don’t be angry.”
He Yu turned to him and smiled. “I’m not angry. Miss Ling is right. She wants to move in. It’s really inappropriate for me to stay here.”
Fu Chenshan watched him fold his clothes and put them on the bed and asked, “Then where will you go now?”
He Yu said, “I’ll find a place to stay for one night, and then I’ll rent a house tomorrow. It’ll be okay. I’m a grown man, so you don’t have to worry.”
Fu Chenshan suddenly grabbed He Yu’s arm and asked, “Are you planning to go to Qiao Mudong’s place?”
He Yu was stunned for a moment. He really didn’t expect to go to Qiao Mudong’s place, so he shook his head. “How could that be? It’s not like I can’t survive alone.”
Fu Chenshan still held on to him tightly. “Promise me not to go to Qiao Mudong’s place! There is a hotel on the corner of the street called Jin Yutang. You go and get a room tonight. I will pick you up tomorrow and accompany you to find a place to live in.”
He Yu refused, “No need; I can find a place to live by myself.”
Fu Chenshan turned around and saw that Ling Zhilu had walked away to the bathroom. He hugged He Yu tightly and put his head on his shoulder.
He Yu remained silent without struggling.
Fu Chenshan whispered, “Xiao Yu, I’m sorry. Give me some time, and I will never let you suffer this kind of injustice again!”
Before He Yu realized the meaning of his words, Fu Chenshan had already let him go.
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 took a suitcase from his room and helped He Yu fold the clothes one by one and put them in it. He Yu looked at Fu Chenshan’s back and suddenly remembered that the day he was released from prison, Fu Chenshan once told him that he would never let him be wronged again. At that time, what was he thinking? He Yu told himself: If you believe him again, you would be a hundred percent idiot.
After everything was packed and He Yu was about to leave, Ling Zhilu also calmed down. She sat in the living room and turned on the TV, constantly changing channels but not even raising her head to look at him.
Fu Chenshan walked He Yu to the door and said to him, “Be safe; it’s dark outside. You can take a taxi and go directly to Jin Yutang Hotel. I will pick you up tomorrow afternoon.”
After saying that, Fu Chenshan turned sideways to block Ling Zhilu’s view, took out a card, and gave it to He Yu. It was a credit card. Fu Chenshan said, “Swipe the card and sign my name.”
He Yu knew that he didn’t want Ling Zhilu to know, so he shook his head silently and whispered, “I don’t need it.”
Fu Chenshan insisted: “Take it.”
He Yu still shook his head. “It’s really not necessary; just take it back.”
“Xiao Yu,” Fu Chenshan suddenly called in a deep voice, and then he came up and kissed He Yu’s forehead gently, and at the same time stuffed the card into He Yu’s jacket pocket.
He Yu was stunned. His first reaction was to see if Ling Zhilu had noticed. After realizing that the other party probably couldn’t see him from this angle, he raised his head and looked at Fu Chenshan.
Fu Chenshan stretched out a hand to touch his face and said again, “Promise me you’re not going to Qiao Mudong.”
At this time, Ling Zhilu finally couldn’t help shouting, “Fu Chenshan! Are you finished?”
He Yu came to his senses and said, “I’m leaving.”
Fu Chenshan nodded and reminded him, “Be careful.”
He Yu dragged his suitcase out of the community where Fu Chenshan lived. He looked at the cars coming and going on the street, still feeling a little dazed for a moment.
There still seemed to be a warm touch on his forehead. That kiss used to be He Yu’s wish for many years, but he wasn’t thinking about it now. If it had been three years ago, He Yu would have shed a few tears in excitement. But it was no longer three years ago. He Yu touched his chest. It was impossible to say that he was not touched at all, but he could not find the slightest feeling of heartbeat. He was more surprised and felt an unspeakable regret.
What are you regretting for? He couldn’t answer himself.
He Yu squatted on the side of the road, not wanting to leave. Of course, he would not stay in Jin Yutang. It was a five-star hotel, and he couldn’t afford it. At this time, the best plan was to find a small hotel to stay in for one night and rent a cheap house tomorrow. If it doesn’t work, he might have to ask Li Tang to let him borrow money.
He Yu was still in the middle of planning when the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang. When he took out his cell phone to answer the call, he also found the credit card Fu Chenshan had put on him.
While answering the phone, He Yu looked at the card carefully under the light of the street lamp. “Hello?”
“He Yu?” Qiao Mudong’s suppressed and irritable voice can be heard on the other side of the phone. “Do you know how many calls I’ve made to you today?”
“Huh?” He Yu asked. “How many?”
Qiao Mudong replied angrily, “At least ten!”
He Yu asked again, “What’s the matter?”
If Qiao Mudong was in front of him, he would probably smash his phone in his face. Suppressing his emotions, Qiao Mudong asked, “Where are you?”
“Me? Now?”
Qiao Mudong said, “Stop talking nonsense and just answer me.”
He Yu raised his head and looked at the house number in front of the side door of the community behind him: “No. 17, Jinyu Street.”
Qiao Mudong was confused. “Who knows where No. 17 Jinyu Street is?!”
He Yu replied helplessly, “Can you find Jinyu Street? There is a Carrefour opposite here, and I am standing on the roadside.”
Qiao Mudong responded, “Continue standing there and don’t leave. I’ll come find you.”
Before He Yu could answer, Qiao Mudong hung up the phone.
He Yu had no choice but to stand on the street and wait. After nearly half an hour, Qiao Mudong’s car suddenly stopped beside him.
Qiao Mudong noticed that there was a suitcase beside He Yu’s feet, so he got out of the car, walked to him, kicked the suitcase beside him, and asked, “What are you doing?”
He Yu shrugged. “I’m looking for a place to live.”
“Looking for a place to live?” Qiao Mudong asked. “Don’t tell me that you haven’t had a place to live for so long since you came out? Are you living on the streets?”
He Yu: “I used to stay at a friend’s house.”
Qiao Mudong asked, “Have you been kicked out now?”
He Yu shook his head. “His girlfriend is moving in with him. It’s inconvenient for me to live there.”
Qiao Mudong kicked his suitcase again. “Kicking you out even if it’s dark outside? What a really kind friend you have!”
He Yu dragged his luggage to the other side and said, “Let’s not talk about him anymore. Since you are here, take me to a hotel, by the way.”
“Hotel?” Qiao Mudong asked. “What hotel? Can’t you stay at my house?”
He Yu immediately said, “I won’t live in your house.”
Qiao Mudong wanted to grab his head and twist it to see if he could squeeze out the water, and shouted, “Then where do you want to live?”
He Yu felt that talking to Qiao Mudong was really hard, so he yelled back: “I told you I’d stay in a hotel!” Then he said, “You can’t park here. Be careful, the police are coming.”
Qiao Mudong kicked him in the butt. “Then why don’t you get in the car?! What the hell are you wasting your time talking to me for?!”
He Yu took a small step forward, turned around, and picked up the luggage. He then asked Qiao Mudong to open the trunk. He threw the luggage in and then got into the passenger seat.
Qiao Mudong also climbed back to the car.
He Yu said while fastening his seat belt, “Send me to find a hotel.” After thinking for a while, he added, “The small hotel next to the school is pretty good.”
Qiao Mudong started the car. “We’ll talk about it later. Come with me to dinner first. I haven’t eaten enough tonight.”
Hearing this, He Yu suddenly felt that he was also hungry, so he closed his mouth and let Qiao Mudong drive forward.

KEIGHTY: The next volume, Volume 3, will start in the next chapter! So excited~
Their interactions truly delight my day. They just bicker like an old couple, their love language is kicking each other’s butt. 😂
Thank you Beverly for your generosity. We readers are leeching off of your kindness lol
Toda vez que eles brigam, me acabo de rir
Right. Same here 😂
I don’t quite get what He Yu’s thinking… 🤔 He clearly knows FCS doesn’t like him back, but he still doesn’t want FCS to know what he did with Mudong in the office…so he still likes FCS? Knowing FCS used him? He doesn’t even believe FCS anymore, so why still like him?Thanking Beverly for your generosity too ❤
Its not only FCS, throughout the whole story so far hes always been unwilling to tell people hes gay, i forgot his name but He Yu was reluctant to tell his boss that he was gay. I like both genders, and im not necessarily ashamed.. but im still reluctant to tell people because im scared of people’s reaction, even though Ive already accepted the fact that im gay
Ah so what you mean is his face is paling because Ling Zhilu was aware that it was him in the office? I see then…thanks!
Fu Chengshan…I don’t understand you. I’m amazed He Yu isn’t more bothered but I guess prison really numbed him to all of those previous feelings or even caring about whatever the hell is going on with Fu Chengshan. But he needs to get it together and figure it out smh especially since he has an angry homophobic girlfriend that hated He Yu from the start
