Ye Ming slapped Lu Xiuwen’s hand away and dashed outside with his reddened eyes!

Lu Xiuwen lowered his head and stared at his hand in a daze. That slap was more like a blow to his heart and it was really painful. 4aBi f

He pursed his lips tightly and chased after Ye Ming. It only took him a few strides to catch up with Ye Ming. He hugged Ye Ming from behind and gently said, “Xiao Ran, calm down. Tell me what exactly you heard, okay?”

Ye Ming was pulled into Lu Xiuwen’s arms. He leaned against his firm and warm chest, listening to his gentle and deep voice. However, he felt even more upset and aggrieved. Big droplets of tears came flowing down and he couldn’t stop them. He clenched his teeth and trembled as he said, “Let me go!”

How could Lu Xiuwen let him go? He knew that he must calm Ye Ming down now and not let his imagination run wild. He patiently said, “I know that some of the things that I’ve done were wrong and I shouldn’t have hidden them from you. But I loved you and I won’t hurt you.”

Love? Your love was to control my everything and interfere with my life without my consent, forcing me into this sort of relationship with you…and even letting someone get me drunk so that you could get me in bed? You are my uncle…the one that I trusted the most, but you behaved immorally. This is your love? rN3bhM

This is what you mean when you claim you won’t hurt me?

Ye Ming eyes were bloodshot as if he had a brain hemorrhage. Suddenly, he lowered his head and bit Lu Xiuwen’s arm. He struggled with all his might and frantically screamed, “Let go of me! Let go of me!”

Ye Ming really bit him hard. Lu Xiuwen felt a sharp pain in his arm, but it was nothing compared to the pain in his heart. No matter how sad Ye Ming was before, he was able to comfort him because he knew that he was special to Ye Ming. But now…his words could no longer comfort this person.

It made him even more upset and pained instead.

Because he didn’t trust him anymore.

Lu Xiuwen felt Ye Ming was struggling harder and he was worried that Ye Ming would injure himself. Finally, his eyes darkened and he loosened his hold on him.

Ye Ming never looked back. As soon as he freed himself from his hold, he dashed outside without hesitating!

Lu Xiuwen watched as Ye Ming left. His expression was heavy and he did not even care about the injury on his hand as he followed him out. I9Rnik

Ye Ming was still in a fit of anger. Before he could fully understand what happened, he shouldn’t be forceful. It was a good idea to let Ye Ming calm down by himself. But Lu Xiuwen was worried about Ye Ming leaving in such a condition. Fortunately, he still wore the necklace, so Lu Xiuwen followed Ye Ming’s trail from afar.

Ye Ming dashed outside the house, stumbling. This road was long and there was nobody around. It was quiet and deserted.

As he was walking alone down the road, he suddenly recalled that not long ago, on the day that Lu Xiuwen confessed his feelings to him, he had also dashed out due to fear and panic.

At the time, he had not expected that Lu Xiuwen had those sorts of feelings for him. He couldn’t accept such a change in their relationship and attempted to escape. But the moment he left the Lu residence, he realized that after he left Lu Xiuwen, he had nowhere to run to…his love and reliance on that person had eventually brought him back to that house. NE4dk

Lu Xiuwen’s kindness toward him made him open his heart little by little. He mustered the courage to love that person, even if it meant going against the world. He wanted to be with him…He thought that the love between them was strong and sincere. He thought that they could face all sorts of challenges.

But only now did he realize that Lu Xiuwen was never as sincere as he appeared to be.

He was the only one who had really loved with all his heart.

But no. He couldn’t go back. This time, there was no way he was going back.

The little self-esteem he had left didn’t allow him to continue to be an innocent fool that others could mess with.

Ye Ming walked until his legs were shaking. He walked and stopped, walked and stopped. Finally, he got out from there. He stood at the traffic light, staring at his surroundings blankly. In the end, he got into a car and went to school. In this big world, beside Lu Xiuwen’s house, he had nowhere else to go. Everything was so unfamiliar…

Eventually…he went back to the dormitory. 9Rrndh

Ye Ming had left in a hurry. Besides a little pocket money, he had nothing else on him. Because he had moved out earlier on and did not have the dormitory’s key with him, he stood in front of the door in a daze. In the end, he couldn’t stand any longer, so he sat down and leaned against the wall.

Not long after, class ended and people started to come upstairs. They were shocked when they saw the confused Ye Ming sitting on the ground. One of the classmates went over and asked kindly, “What happened, Gu Ran? Do you want to go into our dorm to rest for a while?”

Ye Ming huddled into himself and buried his head in his arms without replying.

When he didn’t get a response, the classmate who made the offer left, embarrassed. But seeing Ye Ming in such a state, he wondered, could it be that something had happened to him? Wasn’t he the young master of the Lu family? What could have troubled him? Why was he in such a pitiful state? 4nrxvi

After a long while, Hu Lei, Zhao Xing, and Wei Weicai were back. When they saw Ye Ming at the door, they were really shocked. “Why are you back?”

Ye Ming hadn’t lived in the dorm for a long time now, and he had not contacted them. Hu Lei was really surprised to see Ye Ming.

Actually, Hu Lei was not really bothered by Ye Ming’s identity. However, the people beside Ye Ming always made him feel uncomfortable, as if they were not from the same world. This made him feel unhappy and uneasy…And because of that, Hu Lei gradually drifted apart from Ye Ming. When he saw him here looking pitiful, he felt his heart go soft. This rough guy was not so petty.

“Hello? What happened to you? Why aren’t you talking?” Hu Lei patted Ye Ming’s shoulder and smiled as he said, “Is it the end of the world?” T7SXGU

Ye Ming heard Hu Lei’s voice and after a long while, he lifted his head in a daze. His face was tearstained and his black eyes were filled with helplessness. He was like a small animal that had been abandoned. Hu Lei was stunned. The smile on his face froze.

He sensed that something bad must have happened…Although Ye Ming didn’t do well after he got rich, as his loving classmate, he couldn’t leave him alone. So, he pulled Ye Ming up and pushed him into the dorm.

Zhao Xing and Wei Weicai stared at each other and went to pour Ye Ming a glass of water without saying anything. They looked at him in concern.

Ye Ming noticed his classmates’ concerned gazes. Even though he had not contacted them for so long, they were willing to offer him shelter and help. At this moment, any sort of warm gesture would cause him to lose control of his fragile side. Tears came rolling down again. zemK3P

Hu Lei was really speechless. Why hadn’t he realized that Ye Ming was a cry baby before? Although Ye Ming always seemed to be gentle and quiet, he’d never cried before! They were all men, what was there to cry about?

He scratched his head and said, “What happened to you…sigh, forget it. It’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it.”

Ye Ming held the glass of water in his hands and kept quiet for a long time. He lowered his head and croaked, “I…I wanted to come back and stay. Can I…”

Hu Lei was dumbfounded. “I don’t see why not. You haven’t relinquished your bedspace. It’s been there all this while, see—” The moment he turned his head around and looked at the upper bunk next to him, he suddenly felt embarrassed. ik13wZ

Being in a mixed male dorm and with Ye Ming having been away for a long time, his bed had already been upgraded to a garbage heap from all their dirty clothes and stinky socks.

Hu Lei made a signal. Zhao Xing and Wei Weicai immediately removed all the dirty piles and stuffed them in the bathroom.

Zhao Xing glanced at the empty bed. He fetched the beddings and helped Ye Ming fit it. Of course it wasn’t the best, considering it was set up on such a short notice. He let out a forced laugh. “This is all we can do for now. Young Master Gu will have to make do…”

Ye Ming was overcome by sadness and burst into tears again. iWHe02

Zhao Xing, “…” Was it because of something he said just now? Why was he crying again?

Ye Ming raised his hand to wipe away his tears. After a long time, he took a deep breath and managed to stop his tears. However, his voice was still unsteady. He said, “Thank you.”

Really, thank you…

Thank you for still being willing to take me in. x0Vywf

Seeing that Ye Ming finally stopped crying, the three lords let out a sigh of relief. They thought for a while and figured that Ye Ming wouldn’t want to go out. So they went out for dinner together and decided to bring some food back for Ye Ming.

Ye Ming saw that they had left, and he climbed on the bed, sitting there and staring blankly.

[Ye Ming: You see who your true friends are when you go through difficulties. These few brothers of mine are wonderful. I like them.]

[888: You never showed that you liked them before and you had never treated them as good friends. Didn’t you say that it’s okay that you drifted apart, and you only think about them when you need to use them?] f84QgZ

[Ye Ming:…]

Would his system die if he gave a bit of support just for a day?

In fact, Lu Xiuwen had never gone far. He watched as Ye Ming went into the dorm. He stayed there for a long time before leaving.

When he got in the car, Lu Xiuwen’s expression turned completely gloomy. The line of his jaw was cold and stiff. He tapped his finger lightly on his knee and his cold voice was filled with anger. “Where’s Zhang Hongzhi?” KQ5WM

The bodyguard answered respectfully, “He’s waiting for you at the office.”

Lu Xiuwen pursed his thin lips slightly,  eyes dark. “I’ll meet with him now.”

Zhang Hongzhi was scared out of his mind when he was suddenly brought to the office by Lu Xiuwen’s men. He sat inside the conference room with his hands clasped together. The longer he waited, the more fearful he became.

How did it turn out this way… nWjgOc

Everything had been going smoothly and he got what he wanted. But suddenly, everything fell apart.

Zhang Hongzhi waited for a long time. Lu Xiuwen finally came over at nighttime.

Zhang Hongzhi lowered his head and found that Lu Xiuwen’s arm was still stained with blood. It looked as though he had been bitten. Lu Xuiwen probably hadn’t rested, as he hadn’t changed his clothing…Zhang Hongzhi’s mouth went dry. He stared at Lu Xiuwen’s dark eyes and sensed that he was screwed. oTt2XG

Ye Ming was almost done resting in the dorm when Hu Lei and the rest came back with the takeaway dinner. Because they had previously lived together for a long time, they knew Ye Ming’s tastes and had ordered the food that they used to eat.

Although the food from the cafeteria was simple and the take-away food was slightly cold and not outstanding, Ye Ming held the food in his hands and ate quietly. He felt very touched.

It was so good to have such friends during his most helpless time.

At night, Ye Ming slept alone on the narrow bed. The rest of his classmates were still up, playing games below his bunk with earbuds in. bedoKk

This bed was very narrow and hard. The quilt was not soft nor warm. The warmth of that man’s body was missing and there was no one there to hug and kiss him, for him to rely on…he was all alone.

He turned over, the pendant of the necklace he wore around his neck exposed. That beautiful, precious sky blue gem was like an ocean’s teardrop. Ye Ming stared at it in a daze. Tears came streaming down uncontrollably.

He was thinking about him.

After leaving that man, he realized how much he loved and cared about him. And because of that, his deceit caused him so much pain. Ndw0Ar

It was as if his heart had turned hollow with nothing left.

To him, Lu Xiuwen was no longer just a guardian that he respected but someone who he loved with all his heart. He was his entire world. But this world had collapsed and instantly left him utterly defeated.

Hu Lei and the others played games until midnight. Once they quietly slipped back into the bed that night, they realized that Ye Ming was not asleep. They thought that he had fallen asleep long ago. He let out a sigh in his heart when he saw Ye Ming like this…

Because Ye Ming wouldn’t talk about it, these classmates came up with a lot of tragic scenarios. They heard that Ye Ming was not Lu Xiuwen’s son and they had no blood connection. He was merely the son of Lu Xiuwen’s foster sister. He brought him to the Lu family to raise him because he pitied him. In fact, he had nothing to do with the Lu family. oJ0xAB

With such a relationship, it was good if he was willing to treat him well, but if he was unwilling to…it all probably came down to one word only.

During this period of time, at school, besides those who admired and wanted to curry favor with Ye Ming, there were also those who felt sour and hated him, saying that Ye Ming had everything he wanted now because Lu Xiuwen was still interested in him. He wasn’t a family member of the Lu family. If one day he was swept from the house, how was he going to act like a young master?

Hu Lei secretly thought, What the f*ck? Could it be that those haters were right? Ye Ming was indeed swept out from the house by Lu Xiuwen? This is too cruel. The more Hu Lei thought about it, the more he pitied him. A paternal love suddenly sprouted within him and he decided that he would make breakfast for Ye Ming tomorrow.

  1. Thanks for your hard work! And Happy New Year!

    I’m betting that for the sake of the mission, Ye Ming will get in contact with that guy (the rival from the original plot) somehow. Then Uncle will go all yandere. 😏

  2. Hu Lei😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤❤💔

    This is the first chapter that’s made me cry since the …sci-fi one I guess (that scene with his sister got to me). The only other one was the cancer baby. I like it when YM’s role is less manipulative
