The result of the test didn’t keep them waiting for too long. It was only on the next day, as Yan Jingze was walking out of the school gate, planning to go home, that he was stopped by a car.
Raising his eyes, he saw Xu Lu sitting in the back seat, and there was a man with a complex expression staring at him.
This man was one of the people in that family photo.
Inside the private room,
Wen Qingzhuang looked at the young man in front of him with complicated feelings. If it wasn’t for his wife bringing him the identification result and tearfully telling him that their son had been found, he really wouldn’t have thought that he would see him in reality in his lifetime.
After receiving the information about the young man from W University, he didn’t know what kind of emotions he was feeling when he finished reading it – whether it was heartache, self-blame, or regret.
His child should have had a carefree life, but due to their negligence as parents, he had to endure a hard life for twenty-three years. When he thought about Wen Yichuan, whom they had raised, and looked at the young man in front of him, Wen Qingzhuang, for the first time, felt the same emotions as his wife.
It was resentment or perhaps unjustified anger.
Patting his crying wife’s back, he said, “Child… come back.”
We will try our best to make up for the twenty-three years we owe you, so come back.
Yan Jingze’s expression was calm as he looked at the couple in front of him. He asked, “Then what about Wen Yichuan?”
Where do you put Wen Yichuan? Isn’t he your son in front of everyone? What are you going to do about him?
After being stung by the remark, Xu Lu grabbed Yan Jingze’s wrist and cried even more hoarsely saying, “He is not my son, you are my son, you are.”
Looking at the woman gripping his wrist tightly, Yan Jingze smiled, then with cold eyes, he raised his hand and slowly pried her hand open.
…
After finishing the lecture, Gu Weizhou who had just walked out of the classroom saw someone blocking his way. He raised his head and immediately recognized the person.
“Is there something you need, Student Li Fei?”
Having done countless psychological preparations, Li Fei thought that she wouldn’t be nervous this time. However, when she saw him smiling at her, all the preparations she had made before seemed to disappear.
“I… I… I…”
Seeing Li Fei unable to say anything for a while, Gu Weizhou smiled and said, “How about we find a place to sit down and talk?”
Blushing and feeling embarrassed, Li Fei lowered her head and said, “Okay…”
Why do I always embarrass myself in front of the male god? QAQ
Handing over the bottle of water he just bought, Gu Weizhou sat next to her and smiled, “Tell me, what’s bothering you that you couldn’t say it even after trying a few times.”
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.
Holding tightly onto the mineral water bottle in her hand, Li Fei buried her head and whispered, “D-Does the teacher… like someone?”
“Olxf rbwfbcf? Zjsyf atja qfgrbc tjrc’a jqqfjgfv sfa, yea…” Xe Qflhtbe qjerfv, atlcxlcu jybea ktja Zbatfg Qfc abiv tlw akb wbcatr jub.

Qlat atbrf kbgvr, Ol Mfl’r ojmf aegcfv ygluta gfv.
Oh my… Oh my god, the male god said he might like her in the future. This… this… this is too unreal.
“Pr atfgf j qgbyifw Vaevfca Ol Mfl, obg sbe ab jrx rbwfatlcu ilxf atlr?”
Feeling the person beside her gaze at her, Li Fei’s heart started beating faster, reaching over 200 beats per minute.
Nervousness, anticipation, and the dreamlike feeling made her tightly squeeze her own hand, trying to maintain her stuttering tone. “T-Teacher… did your family… talk about… an arranged marriage?”
Gu Weizhou’s movements paused. His family had indeed mentioned an arranged marriage to him two months ago. But why is she…
Suddenly realizing something, Gu Weizhou said, “That person…”
With a flushed face, Li Fei raised her head timidly and said anxiously, “T-Teacher… please don’t be angry, I… I didn’t mean to deceive you, but… ”
Before she could finish her words, Li Fei saw a beautiful and gentle smile bloom on the young man’s face. In an instant, it was as if dark clouds had dispersed from above her head, and the warm sunlight was illuminating the earth.
He raised his hand and rubbed the girl who was staring blankly at him. Gu Weizhou smiled and said, “Silly girl, why would I be angry? I was wondering what kind of person that person was, but I never expected it to be Li Fei, my junior. I feel much more relieved now.”
“Re-re-lieved?”
“Because… Student Li Fei is a very outstanding and wonderful girl. Although I have never been in a relationship before, if my partner is Li Fei, I would be more than willing to give it a try.”
Hearing the praise that was almost like a confession from the person she had been secretly admiring for three years, Li Fei was stunned.
The next moment, tears welled up in her eyes.
Seeing her suddenly crying, Gu Weizhou was taken aback and immediately raised his hand to wipe her tears, but unexpectedly, she grabbed his hand tightly.
“Senior… Senior, I really like you. From the moment I stepped into W University, from the first time I saw you, I liked you. I like you so much… I know I shouldn’t try to bind you with an arranged marriage, but… I’m not worthy of you, I can’t keep up with your pace, you are too outstanding, I’m sorry… Waaaah… I really like you…” Amidst her sobbing, she confessed and apologized incoherently, and her tear-soaked face made her words hard to understand.
Seeing this scene, Gu Weizhou smiled and raised his hand to gently embrace her shoulders. He said in a warm voice, “There’s nothing to apologize for, and there’s no need to blame yourself. Being born into such a family, an arranged marriage was inevitable. Instead, I’m happy that it’s you.”
“Wooo….Senior…”
Because of Li Fei’s sudden emotional outburst, Gu Weizhou had no choice but to accompany her until the evening. As he was planning to start his first relationship, he naturally had dinner with her and escorted her home. By the time he returned home, it was almost 10 PM.
As he twisted open the door, he was met with complete darkness. Gu Weizhou habitually reached for the light switch, but before he could react, a hand grabbed his wrist and pressed him against the closed door.
“Who…?!”
“…It’s me.”
The familiar voice eased Gu Weizhou’s heart slightly. “Junior Yan, why are you…?”
“Where were you all day today?” Yan Jungze asked, interrupting Gu Weizhou’s question.
Upon hearing the question, Gu Weizhou naturally thought of Li Fei today. With a slight smile on his face, he said, “I was with a silly girl.”
In the darkness, when Yan Jingze heard those words, the already dim eyes turned into a dark surge of emotions. In his restless chest, there seemed to be a wild beast on the verge of breaking free, with the urge to tear open the person in front of him and swallow him down the throat.
Suppressing the darkness with all his might, he said, “…Who is she?”
“Someone you know, Li Fei, my junior.”
The hand holding Gu Weizhou’s wrist tightened uncontrollably. It was indeed her!
Feeling the pain from his wrist, Gu Weizhou instinctively struggled a bit. “Junior Yan, you…”
Closing his eyes, Yan Jingze tightly suppressed the impulse in his heart and said word by word, “Don’t get close to her.”
Gu Weizhou was taken aback, “What…?”
Slowly opening his eyes, Yan Jingze’s eyes turned completely dark like ink.
He stared at the person in the darkness as if staring at a delicacy that only he could savor alone. He spoke with a cold voice, “Don’t get close to anyone.”
You belong to me alone. Don’t get close to anyone, you’re not allowed!
[If I tell him that I’m about to get engaged and marry a wife, what do you think his reaction would be?]
[His reaction would be to kill you.]
[Sounds thrilling.]
[…You’re like a masochist who loves courting death.]
Upon hearing his words, Gu Weizhou’s brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice, “What do you mean, why am I not allowed to be with my future wife?”
In the system space, No. 001: …sigh.
One second, two seconds, three seconds passed.
[It seems like there is no…]
“Mmm…”
Firmly pressing the person’s wrist against the wall, Yan Jingze’s eyes were as dark as the night, like a newly released wild beast, fiercely biting and sucking on the lips and tongue of the person under him.
It seemed like a punishment, a warning. The man’s eyes, invisible in the darkness, lacked any warmth or tenderness, only filled with dominance and plunder.
“Don’t get close to anyone, you’re not allowed to get close to anyone, you are mine!!!”
With forceful collisions against the person’s teeth, feeling the struggle and resistance from the person beneath him, Yan Jingze’s eyes turned even darker. At the same time, he bit down on the person’s lower lip.
“Ah, mmm.”
Taking advantage of the moment when the person was in pain, the man’s soft tongue entered forcefully, plundering fiercely. It seemed like he wanted to fill every inch of the person’s body with his breath. Only in this way could he make sure that the person belonged to him alone, and only in this way would the person never leave him.
The struggles of the person beneath him became more intense, and the man’s plundering between the person’s lips also became more fervent as well. His deep, dark eyes were fixed on the terrified and fearful eyes of the young man beneath him as if he wanted to swallow him whole.
You can’t escape, you can’t escape!
In the darkness, Gu Weizhou stared at the pair of eyes filled with negative emotions that were so close to him. They were dark, cold, and angry…full of plunder and madness. But deep within those eyes, there was a trace of profound affection, almost soul-piercing.
Three parts piercing deep into the soul, seven parts crushing his soul.
Or maybe it was truly such a crazed look that made Gu Weizhou, who had been staring intently into the person’s eyes, feel as if he was in a trance for a brief moment.
As if the world was overturning, and all dangers and obstacles were vanishing, the entire world seemed to be trembling, with fragments falling from the sky, resembling purgatory on earth.
Amidst this world-ending chaos, as the pieces fell and the world seemed to collapse, a sharp sword with the force of tearing through the air, suddenly rushed towards him with lightning speed.
Fear, panic, and chaos…all the instinctive thoughts and feelings that surged in that moment were abruptly silenced by a terrifying sound of a sword piercing the flesh.
Splurt—
The icy cold sword pierced through his chest, as he floated gracefully like a dancing butterfly, a trace of darkness sprayed into the air from his chest, staining his white shirt.
Lifting his hand, the injured man gripped the sword that was stuck in his chest.
The pain came from the inside out, even from his soul, as if something was tearing him apart.
Yet, even in such pain, he wanted to say something. Struggling to move his lips, a faint smile formed at the corners of his mouth. Apart from a trace of dark color that trickled out, nothing else came out.
His eyelids drooped slightly, and his body fell from mid-air. In the next second, he fell into a pair of arms filled with a cold fragrance.
It seemed like there was a voice ringing in his ears, but the intense pain left him almost unconscious, and he couldn’t hear a single word. However, he clearly saw the person’s white silk belt stained with blood.
Little dots of dark red, like winter plum blossoms blooming quietly in the snow.
Author’s note: The last part is not misplaced; it belongs to this chapter’s main text. Well, you should be able to guess who the person pierced by the sword is, right? As for the specific reason behind what is this incident… hehe, all I can say is that the author’s style is at play again. There will be relevant explanations in the subsequent chapters, and then you’ll understand.
wait wait wait what’s all that ancient setting all of a suddennn!!
EXACTLYYY!!!!! I lost myself there T^T
After seeing the darkness in Jingze’s eyes Gu Weizhou went in trance as if he remembered something from past. So that scene was something he remembered which might have happened in one of his reincarnations or maybe in real life? That’s why Author has written what this is will be explained somewhere later in the story, so anyways if you remember there was a scene when Gu weizhou jumped from the roof he asked 001 for the pain-shield but 001 never told him such a thing exists. Gu weizhou was also confused that why he know such thing? So the author is trying to create a sense of mystery…..
This makes sense. I noticed the trance but it came out of no where so no wonder we are all confused. 😕🙄
Damnn now I wanna know the truth so bad!! So far this is the 3rd or 4th QT I’ve read so dunno bout the patterns but damn this is exciting!!!
Thnx for the explanation 😭🩷
??? 🙄 ???
I want more chapters please. This story is just so good!
10/10 TFTC
..woa…its that from his real past …..ahh ..im curious!!!!!
