Chapter 39
“Su Jingyan.” Zhao Hongyang hurriedly rushed out, hindering Su Jingyan’s path.
Su Jingyan narrowed his eyes, his body instinctively leaned towards the wall, taking a few steps back to create some distance. He then turned to the side, frowning at the person who had inexplicably halted him on his way.
Honestly, owing to his appearance, simply walking down the road he would often draw the attention of passers-by. Some even went as far as sneaking photos, fixating on him with a gaze resembling admiration for a beautiful object and they proceeded to comment on him extensively – ranting and raving, with voices so loud as if they were afraid that he, as the person in question, wouldn’t be able to hear them.
For the people who gave him gifts, and there were a lot of them, it might have been worthy of bragging for others, but for him it was fear, it was a nightmare.
Because not only did he receive the ordinary love letters, snacks, and small gifts, but he also received some repulsive things, even used personal items and death threats.
So speaking truthfully, he didn’t need or want the likes and adoration that these people thought they had put so much effort into.
He’s not a celebrity, and he has no need nor desire to get any appraisals from these people. He’s just an ordinary guy who doesn’t have to pretend or even curry favor for that matter.
What’s more, stars are human beings too, and they also fight for privacy, wanting their fans to keep distance from their idols’ lives.
He doesn’t require it, he has to reject it and reject it thoroughly.
“Is something wrong?” Su Jingyan’s face was pale, his fingers clenched the school bag he was carrying in his hand, and his eyes carried a few points of defensiveness.
At the moment Zhao Hongyang stopped him, many of the surrounding fanboys and fangirls who secretly followed Su Jingyan instantly erupted into a melon eating crowd full of surprise, adding a few eyes in every direction to watch the show.
Another one confessing to the male god?
Exciting.
Zhao Hongyang, however misplaced, from the feedback of those around him, had an even more ecstatic smile on his face. He mistakenly took the onlookers’ amusement as support and encouragement, and in his heart, he directly marked Su Jingyan with his own imprint.
The cause may have had something to do with Zhao Hongyang himself, who was also considered a popular figure in the school’s department, alongside his family’s financial conditions which were also considered to be quite good. Over the years, he had enjoyed a smooth and trouble-free life without experiencing many setbacks. The girlfriends he had were easily charmed by him with just a flick of his finger. Therefore, in his eyes, someone like Su Jingyan, who didn’t know how to appreciate his advantages, only irritated him even more.
With a hint of flattery and eagerness on his face, Zhao Hongyang said in a friendly manner, “We’re classmates after all. How about the two of us grab lunch together today?”
Su Jingyan looked at his greasy expression, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and furrowed his brow, replying displeased, “No, I’m not eating near the school today. I’m heading back now.”
When Zhao Hongyang heard this, he was stunned again and his mouth opened in surprise.
Why is it different from the original plot development?
However, as his mind quickly shifted gears, he calmed down and believed that Su Jingyan had changed his course from going to the school cafeteria in order to reject his invitation.
When Zhao Hongyang thought so, in his heart, apart from the realization, more still was the sense of humiliation of being rejected over and over again by Su Jingyan.
In just a couple hours, Su Jingyan had rejected him twice in a row!
But he completely forgot that he was only an ordinary classmate to Su Jingyan, who was in the same class but he hadn’t spoken a few words with, so the other party didn’t have to be very enthusiastic about him, not to mention the fact that he still had dirty intentions towards him in his heart.
Zhao Hongyang glared with anger.
Previously, Su Jingyan had been perfectly fine during the last few regressions, so why did he become so difficult to deal with this time?
Damn it.
Zhao Hongyang suppressed his anger, clenching his fist. He raised his head and stared intensely at Su Jingyan’s clear eyes.
When will you be able to have me in your eyes!
Su Jingyan remained indifferent to the emotions displayed by his fellow classmates. Even as the other person’s expression grew increasingly unpleasant, he showed little emotional response.
Seeing that the other party did not have the slightest intention to make way for himself in a sensible manner, Su Jingyan hooked the corner of his mouth, and, revealing a professional fake smile, coldly swept a glance at Zhao Hongyang, as once again, he pulled away to a distance, his face expressionless, his voice indifferent as he walked forward, “Make way, thank you.”

After saying that, he really didn’t look back and continued walking in the direction of the school’s main entrance, also completely ignoring how ugly Zhao Hongyang’s face behind himself was.

The male god belongs to everyone!
The people beside them had long been unable to hold back, secretly taking pictures of Su Jingyan and Zhao Hongyang standing together and talking on their cell phones, just waiting to share them with their own little sisters.
It won’t be long before everyone at school finds out that the school heartthrob had once again slain another handsome guy, complete with a picture attached.
Tsk tsk tsk.
That heartthrob’s charm is really something.
Zhao Hongyang stared at Su Jingyan’s back, gritting his teeth a little, so angry that his shoulders were slightly trembling and his entire body was in a rage.
He especially hated it as he listened to the unscrupulous discussion around him, which was mixed quite a bit with ridicule and snickering at his actions and the results.
One must know that Su Jingyan was recognized as an aloof male god in their school.
Not to mention with the opposite sex, he rarely even appeared with people in the same frame on campus. He was basically alone, low-key, even less talkative than that and not even living in the dormitory.
The only chances of seeing him at school were in class or squatting in the library, anything else, don’t even think about it.
The girls who were chatting away nearby suddenly held their phones and exclaimed, “Oh my goodness, I just captured a moment of Su Jingyan laughing! Ahhhh, I’m dead!”
“Fuck, where is it? Where is it? Sister quick let me look and add me as a friend to share!!”
All around was a wail, a swarm of people rushing up, kneeling and begging for Su Jingyan’s picture.
The girl chuckled twice and was about to suggest creating a group for everyone to share when, to her dismay, her phone suddenly went completely black without any warning, and she couldn’t turn it back on.
Damn!
The girl’s head spun and a million horses raced inside.
Fuck, what the hell?
Isn’t this my new cell phone?
Su Jingyan, under the various scrutinizing glances from the people around him, walked out of the school gate at a leisurely pace without showing any change in expression. After stepping out of the gate, he turned back slightly, saw that no one was following him, and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It was really scary.
Without the pressure of being stared at, and seeing the students around also slowly decreasing, Su Jingyan’s mood also became gradually relaxed, stepping lightly in the direction of his own neighborhood.
Su Jingyan came from a fairly well-off family. His family was engaged in business abroad, and they had a car, a house, and savings. He didn’t have to worry about his basic needs.
Just because he didn’t want to stay in the school dormitory, his family had generously purchased an apartment in a nearby residential area for him to use as his bachelor pad throughout his four years of college.
The neighborhood wasn’t too far from the school, it was only a ten-minute walk, or seven or eight minutes if he was running.
Su Jingyan was in a good mood, not letting the little episode just now disturb his good mood because, at this moment, he was full of thoughts of only one person – Lu Yichen.
As he walked, he covered the spot where his heart was, his doe eyes curving up now and then, his eyelashes fluttering up and down, joyful and full of smiles.
So this is what it feels like to be in love.
Su Jingyan was somewhat unable to suppress his frantic thoughts of Lu Yichen, his fingers clenching the clothes around his heart.
Su Jingyan’s front step had only just stepped into the door of the neighborhood, when the eyes of the man who had been waiting for a long time at the entrance of the neighborhood lit up at once.
The man pushed up the glasses perched on his nose, brushed off his suit with his hand, and patted out the wrinkles to straighten it.
Then as soon as he rushed forward, he quickly stretched out his hand to stop Su Jingyan’s way.
Su Jingyan was stopped in his tracks by the person who suddenly ran and reached out, and he halted in surprise, furrowing his brows.
Su Jingyan had absolutely no impression of this person.
To be honest, when Zhao Hongyang blocked him he recognised it. After all, they were classmates even though they weren’t close, so it wasn’t entirely unfounded. But this man in front of him, he didn’t even know who he was. For him to suddenly rush out and block his way, this behavior could be described as extremely rude.
Su Jingyan gave him a strange glance, thinking he was acting a bit crazy. He tried to walk around the man and continue in another direction, but he was stopped by someone’s hand.
Su Jingyan completely lost his temper this time, standing still after distancing himself as much as he could. Hestared at the man warily and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
The man’s name was Yang Haodong, a plastic surgeon, and also the nice-looking gentleman who rode the same elevator as Su Jingyan in the morning.
He chuckled, showing no signs of embarrassment for causing an inconvenience to others. He even nonchalantly took out a business card from his pocket, handed it to Su Jingyan, and with a flattering expression, said, “I’m Yang Haodong, I’d like to be friends with you.”
After saying that, Yang Haodong’s black eyes flashed, hiding some hidden and dangerous emotions within them, without revealing what kind of calculations he was making.
Su Jingyan watched his actions with a furrowed brow, not saying a word for quite a while. He didn’t even reach out to take the business card the man offered. He pursed his lips, and the resistance in his eyes was unmistakable, almost as if he wanted to say it outright.
Yang Haodong still had that fawning smile on his face, showing an expression of not understanding Su Jingyan’s resistance. He continued to gaze at him with a slightly oily and ingratiating look in his eyes, displaying a strong sense of purpose.
Zhao Hongyang quietly followed Su Jingyan the whole way, but was very restrained in doing so, controlling the distance between the two of them so that he didn’t let Su Jingyan find out.
As he followed, he was still pondering what to do next.
Because, according to the normal chronological order, Su Jingyan only went back to the neighborhood after eating before and then he met that plastic surgeon right after.
If this time, Su Jingyan’s timeline is advanced, what about that plastic surgeon? Will he still be there?
Is there any chance of him rushing out to save the day?
He was thinking so anxiously all the way, watching Su Jingyan walk to the gate, where the familiar scene happened once again.
Zhao Hongyang couldn’t help but sigh with relief.
That plastic surgeon came back to harass Su Jingyan as expected.
The out-of-control feeling of discomfort in his mind vanished in an instant.
It hasn’t changed. It’s still normal.
Zhao Hongyang still harbored some frustration over Su Jingyan’s previous refusal, feeling that Su Jingyan didn’t appreciate him. So this time, he wasn’t as eager to rush out and intervene as he had been in previous situations. Instead, he hid in a corner and observed the scene.
Hmph!
He was determined to intervene and come to Su Jingyan’s rescue only when Su Jingyan was pushed to the brink of tolerance, with no way to avoid or escape the situation, and perhaps even on the verge of tears due to fear.
Think of it as his punishment for Su Jingyan’s lack of respect.
The more Zhao Hongyang thought about Su Jingyan’s attitude towards him, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Squatting down next to it, he watched the play attentively.
Su Jingyan looked at the man in front of him who was oily and unaware of it. It was making his expression really a bit unbearable and he frowned, a few more points of impatience inside his tone, “Thank you, I need to go home now.”
The man still refused to make way, extending his hand in the air with a rude demeanor, as if he wouldn’t budge unless Su Jingyan accepted his business card.
Su Jingyan pursed his lips, somewhat at a loss as to how to respond now, and his eyes were also a little erratic.
The main thing was that this neighborhood was quite remote, and he didn’t know what’s going on, but at this moment, there was no one nearby.
Just as Su Jingyan was feeling a headache and didn’t know what to do, he suddenly felt the pockets of his clothes become heavier.
It was like the weight of something had suddenly been shoved in there by someone. There was a lot of movement, like it was afraid he wouldn’t know something had been shoved in.
When Su Jingyan felt this strange feeling, almost subconsciously, he pulled out a handful of the things that appeared out of thin air in his pocket.
At the moment of pulling it out, not to mention Su Jingyan, the people who looked on were dumbfounded, even Yang Haodong who was blocking his way froze in place, his pupils shrinking violently.
—It was a knife.
Yang Haodong reaching out his hand following Su Jingyan’s action of taking out the knife stopped, and he was so scared that he immediately shrunk his hand back, and even took the initiative to take two steps back, vacating Su Jingyan’s original path. While retreating, he also gave himself an exit, “It’s okay if you don’t want to be friends, haha.”
Yang Haodong paused, his voice became a little hoarse, as if he was suppressing some emotion, and his entire state looked a little weird, glancing over Su Jingyan’s entire body, “We’ll still see each other sooner or later anyway.”
After saying this, Yang Haodong took three steps forward, then turned back with reluctance, unable to resist looking at Su Jingyan’s face. His gaze held a mixture of three parts infatuation, four parts obsession, and three parts madness.
It was so beautiful, even without any expression, it was still so beautiful.
Yang Haodong’s body was vaguely trembling a bit uncontrollably because of feeling esctatic.
Su Jingyan was utterly baffled from start to finish. It was only after Yang Haodong had completely left that he suddenly realized the situation and became flustered. He looked around anxiously, feeling like he was holding a hot potato, unsure of what to do.
He broke out in cold sweat out of fear and, making sure no one was around, he hurriedly shoved the knife back into his pocket, gulping in shock.
The heartbeat was also panicked because of the sudden appearance of this knife, he was flustered, and the whole person was in a daze.
Zhao Hongyang’s view was restricted as he crouched in the corner, secretly observing Su Jingyan. Additionally, due to the distance, he couldn’t see Su Jingyan’s actions clearly, and he had no idea what Su Jingyan had taken out.
As far as he could tell from his direction, he only knew that the plastic surgeon who was supposed to be stalking Su Jingyan suddenly gave up his pestering, revealed a placating expression, and quickly left the scene with sudden good sense, leaving only Su Jingyan frozen in place for a while before continuing on.
Everything appeared to be so well-organized, with no hint of anything unusual.
It shouldn’t be! It shouldn’t be like this!
Zhao Hongyang’s eyes turned red with frustration. He suddenly stood up, and it looked like he was about to pop his eyeballs out with how wide he stared. His whole demeanor appeared as if he had gone mad. He was shaking his head vigorously, his eyes wide with disbelief.
Why does it happen like this? It’s not supposed to be like this? What went wrong? What’s going on?
Zhao Hongyang began to hiss inwardly and shook his head, his feet felt slightly unsteady.
Damn it!
Su Jingyan was thoroughly frightened, and once he realized what was happening, he sprinted towards the building where he lived. During his run, his steps felt light, and he seemed a bit unsteady. His entire being felt shaky, and his face turned ashen. He had a constant fear that he might collapse or even trip at any moment due to his unsteady footing.
But when you think about it, there was an inexplicable dangerous weapon in his pocket. How could he not be in the least bit panicked?
For Su Jingyan, this was like seeing a ghost, extremely frightening.
The moment Su Jingyan’s footsteps stepped into the door of the building, he let out a sigh of relief and immediately froze, pausing at the door’s location, his own mouth wide open, staring stupidly at the location of the elevator in front of him.
In front of the elevator entrance …
Wwas standing a slender, well-built man …
The man seemed to be waiting for the elevator, his hands in his pockets and his face expressionless.
And at the moment when Su Jingyan rushed in, panting heavily, it’s unclear whether it was because the man heard the commotion of someone running or for some other reason, but he had coincidentally turned to the side and then slowly turned back, with his eyes just happening to meet Su Jingyan’s surprised gaze.
This one glance, inexplicably, seemed like a gaze that had lasted for a thousand years.
Su Jingyan opened his mouth, blinked rapidly, and took quite a long moment to process what had happened. He couldn’t restrain his excitement and immediately broke into a big smile. His eyes lit up with an excited gleam.
It’s Lu Yichen!
It was the name he had been reciting all the way—Lu Yichen!!
After the man saw Su Jingyan’s obviously changed expression, he half narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, as if he had been pleasured, and his originally tightly wrinkled brows slowly relaxed along with him with a pleasurable expression.
“Yichen!” Su Jingyan shouted very loudly, his voice was also very crisp with uncontrollable joy and excitement.
Su Jingyan’s words just fell, when the elevator door also immediately followed. At the moment that it opened, Su Jingyan saw the situation and immediately reacted. He quickly rushed up, while Lu Yichen did not move and stood in place, staring at him without turning his eyes.
Su Jingyan, panting heavily, stood next to Lu Yichen. He paused for a moment, and then called out, “Yichen.”
His tone inexplicably gave off a somewhat pitiful feeling.
The man discreetly squinted his eyes to steal a glance at Su Jingyan’s profile, chuckled softly, and then said in a deep voice, “Let’s go.”
