    <h4>Chapter 1 (Inherent Familiarness) Elocution Solves Predicament on First Meeting</h4>


    Like a boulder that sank into the water, the piece of explosive news gave rise to great waves.


    The young elite that sent shockwaves through the business world had made a public announcement that he wasn¡¯t straight. Furthermore, he had also resigned from his position as a chairman.


    More astonishingly, the personnel of hispany collectively came out of the closet at the same time he made the announcement.


    Countless young men and unmarried women fell into depression after finding out that these eye-catching handsome men and dazzlingly beautiful women were homosexuals. Public discussion ignited like wildlife. In a sh, everyone expressed their differing opinions and caused a huge tidal wave.


    When his photo was published online, he was immediately named the best-looking chairman of the year. What kind of appearance did he have?


    His sharp eyebrows were like the rainbow and his pupils glittered like stars. The bridge of his nose was tall and straight. He had sharp facial features and a cold, grave face that lent him an imposing aura even when he was calm. He was truly a giant among men, someone with a great temperament in addition to good looks.


    He was surnamed Zhao, with the single name of Yuan. Though young, he was already a top gun of the construction materials business of the current generation. Not only was he famous for the astronomical figures in hispany¡¯s annual financial report each year, but he was also known for pouring in nearly half of his personal fortune into building charitable schools and developing the LGBTmunity.


    Once, a busybody investigated him and learned that he was married. The busybody subsequentlymitted suicide by jumping into ake.


    There were also those who found out that Zhao Yuan was intricately connected to a certain famous pianist, a certain beautiful but unfortunate diva whose star power had diminished, as well as a man whose face was sshed across newspapers for sending his own father to the guillotine. They were all graduates of Jifu University.


    Thus, news of a certain chairman murdering his wife in order to love in the open appeared in newspapers. No matter how many times the police personally rified matters, it was no match for the barbarous growth of public opinion. By the time everyone recovered their senses and looked for Zhao Yuan to clear the dense fog that shrouded the whole affair, he had secretly vanished and escaped far from trouble.


    Everyone¡¯s target turned to Jifu University.


    The former site of the university was unfortunately turned into a business area lined with tall buildings a long time ago.


    One detective-minded reporter happened to find an old photo printed in a small town newspaper.


    The main building of Jifu University had abruptly copsed into a pile of dust and ash, revealing theplete vista of the setting sun. The sunshine that was so bright that it could cause one to stifle was now sprinkled over a lone young man standing in the wind. He wore a fedora and his suit coat billowed in the wind. His lowered head concealing his appearance as he silently lit a cigarette. Behind him were bits of paper that filled the sky. Upon closer look, those were bits of a photo that was torn to shreds.


    Tracing back the time, the one who stood atop the ruins three years ago was named Lin Wenxi. What he torn to shreds was all the photos left behind in Jifu University. His hands were trembling but in the end, one of the photos still remained.


    That photo was the one that ended up getting published online and provoked tears in countless people. It was of a time when he was the most youthful.


    The time in which the photo immortalized was his ardent youth. Like ink that was spilled on fine writing paper, it gradually spread out diluted and permeated subtly. Under the white halo, Lin Wenxi could be vaguely seen to be squinting as if he had shed the heavy burden that weighed on his body. His two hands hung beside him as he allowed Zhao Yuan to freely embrace him. Zhao Yuan wrapped his slender body around Lin Wenxi as they kissed, with blue veins protruding on one of his arms.


    He was like a bud of a bamboo shoot that sprouted after the rain. He was like an expansive forest of bamboo trees, stretching his branches and leaves for him. When the first light of dawn rose in early summer, before the morning star Venus became visible, there was no one else there. Only the light breeze of May quietly immortalized everything into an unobliterable youth.


    ¡ªEpigraph.


    Eleven years ago.


    The admission rules of Jifu University clearly lined out that students would be undergoing a three-month military training upon entering the university.


    ¡°So long?!¡± Lin Wenxi wore a slight frown.


    ¡°Since university students can be exempted from entering military service, Jifu University especially arranged this as a form ofpensation. The goal is to develop a strict discipline, a firm studying manner, h h h...¡± His father, Lin Ziwei, who was also the headmaster of the university, was rather solemnly reprimanding his son.


    However, that was only effective against adults who were fully eighteen. Lin Wenxi himself was clearly a seventeen-year-old child.


    ¡°You won¡¯t be enjoying any privilege!¡± Lin Ziwei was obviously dissatisfied with his son¡¯s reaction.


    ¡°I... don¡¯t want to live on campus,¡± Lin Wenxi said, stammering.


    Lin Ziwei¡¯s expression turned cold as he scowled. His wife, Huang Xiya, immediately terminated her desire to send her son to school. She watched as Lin Wenxi walked out on his own without any expression. On one hand, she pondered if everything was prepared¡ªbe it clothes ormonly-used medicine. On the other hand, she couldn¡¯t help wanting to put his son back into her belly like when she was pregnant with him. Once she thought of her pregnancy back then, Huang Xiya looked pensively at Lin Wenxi¡¯s disappearing figure. ¡°There isn¡¯t much resemnce between them. In the end, he¡¯s still more simr to me.¡±


    It was the third day since the freshmen first reported to the university. After arguing with Lin Ziwei over this matter, Lin Wenxi had no choice but to haul his two heavy suitcases and carry a bup bag on his shoulders alone. Looking like a penniless person, he followed the map of the campus and slowly made his way to his own dormitory building. Though his sense of direction didn¡¯t improve simply because he was now in university, he still sessfully arrived at his dorm after several twists and turns. The only thing was that he was covered in mud after getting sshed by a luxury car. The provocation, as well as narrowed eyes of the girl inside the car, caused Lin Wenxi to subconsciously frown.


    His dorm waspletely deserted. He assumed that his dorm mates had gone foraging when noon arrived. There were four beds, with the bed near the washroom still empty. To a person who had never slept in a top bunk like Lin Wenxi, this was a challenge even greater than the three-month of military training. The two other beds were in somewhat of a mess; the one underneath his was the only neat and tidy one. The quilt was folded until it resembled a block of tofu. It seemed as if the owner had gone through militarized training beforehand.


    Lin Wenxi attempted to carry the leather suitcase up the top bunk but upon weighing it, he realized that his meddlesome mom must have stuffed a few more clothing or a pile of books inside. He failed to carry the suitcase even after several tries. Instead, the suitcase fell on his face and brought him down with it. The leather suitcase fell on the lower bunk and instantly made a mess out of the neat and tidy bed, leaving behind a muddy imprint.


    While Lin Wenxi¡¯s head was still spinning, he heard a voiceing from the door. He turned his head and saw his three dorm mates entering. He was sweating profusely and his good-looking face was burning red.


    Out of the three people, one exuded the air of a bandit. He had a full beard despite being only eighteen or neen. There was a vague look of resentment in his eyes. He looked like Lu Zhishen with an unshaved head (a monk character in the novel ¡°Water Margin¡±). The other person looked fresh-faced and handsome. His every movement exuded gentleness and ease. He looked at Lin Wenxi with an amused expression. Thest one wore a mocking smile. His brows were so sharp that they looked like they were engraved onto his face. His eyes were like stars and his nose was tall and straight. His robust chin was faintly dyed with an ink-like, greenish-ck color. Though he dressed in incredibly ordinary clothing, he exuded a bold and spirited air.


    It was onlyter that Lin Wenxi would learn that they were Zheng Kai and Wang Xiang, and that thest one was named Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°My God! How beautiful!¡± Wang Xiang said, giggling. He saw a child with silk-like strands of ck hair, picturesque eyebrows, limpid pupils and thin lips. He looked so natural that it seemed as if spring flowers had mistaken the season and bloomed amongst the cold frost. One couldn¡¯t help feeling an inexplicable sympathy for him.


    Zheng Kai put on a stern expression and said nothing.


    Zhao Yuan ced his hand on the chair with the other ced on his hips. While picking his teeth, he looked at Lin Wenxi as if nothing had happened. ¡°Are you okay?¡± he asked. The moment he entered the door, he saw full and plump little buttocks swinging nonstop and then a boy falling down along with a suitcase. The boy looked so pathetic that despite being rather concerned, he felt more likeughing.


    ¡°He has be a bully in a second,¡± Lin Wenxi thought upon seeing this. He pondered over it a little longer and passed Wang Xiang a note.


    Unexpectedly, Wang Xiang started reading the note out loud after receiving it. ¡°Nice to meet you, friend. I¡¯m new here, so please treat me kindly. I¡¯ll suffer from insomnia if I sleep on the top bunk. Is it okay if we exchange beds?¡± Lin Wenxi had originally nned to leave the note after putting away his suitcase and go out for lunch. When he saw that Wang Xiang was the owner of the tidy bed, he directly handed him the slip of paper.


    Once Wang Xiang finished reading the note, he and Zhao Yuan raised their heads and guffawed. Lin Wenxi cast Wang Xiang a furious look, his face turning even redder.


    ¡°Look, look. Everyone thinks this bed belongs to me. You might as well hand it to me.¡± Wang Xiang was grinning at Zheng Kai.


    ¡°You are judging someone by their appearance, youngster. This bed is mine!¡± The unruly Zheng Kai first lit up a cigarette before spitting out a mouthful of smoke above Lin Wenxi¡¯s head.


    Zhao Yuan nced at Lin Wenxi with a small smile. ¡°Zheng Kai, I¡¯m also taking the lower bunk. I¡¯ll trade with you.¡±


    Zheng Kai scrunched his nose after hearing what he said. ¡°Then you must help make my bed again. I want to see if your bed-making skills are up to my level.¡±


    Lin Wenxi made a noise as quiet as a mosquito in answering him and slowly moved Zheng Kai¡¯s ¡°bed items¡± without saying a word. He unfolded the bed sheet, applied pressure on the corners of the bed, and removed creases on the sheet. He didn¡¯t rest for a single moment during the whole process and in no time at all, an even neater bed sheet, the quilt folded to form neat edges, and a new appearance came into view. Zheng Kai couldn¡¯t help praising him in his heart. Being a fresh graduate of a military school who underwent extremely strict military training, he had unexpectedly lost to a child who hadn¡¯t even grown a mustache yet.


    Meanwhile, in Wang Xiang¡¯s eyes, Lin Wenxi¡¯s actions earlier were more like an artistic performance. The use of the phrase ¡°lightly pinching in the strings, slowly strumming and plucking them¡± was incredibly apt for him. Immediately, he felt a sense of familiarity with Lin Wenxi as if he was an intimate friend. He jumped around a little, sometimes calling their new dorm mate the reincarnation of Lin Daiyu (a female character in the novel ¡°The Dream of Red Mansion¡±) and sometimes saying his skin was soft and smooth or his face was icily cold. Zheng Kai felt that his ears were unconsciously shivering and his hands were somewhat itchy.


    Soon enough, Zheng Kai pressed Wang Xiang down on the bed and resolutely threw several punches at him through the quilt. ¡°You¡¯re so verbose even though you¡¯re a man! Don¡¯t you find that to be pedantic?!¡±


    As Lin Wenxi was still not talking, Zhao Yuan patted his quilt with a smile. ¡°We¡¯re all brothers of the same dorm. If you want the lower bunk, I¡¯ll take the top one.¡±


    Wang Xiang suddenly escaped Zheng Kai¡¯s clutches andughed. ¡°Zhao Yuan, if you sleep up there and twitch too loudly, you¡¯ll make this young master below you cry. By the way, young master, we still don¡¯t know your name. Why don¡¯t you introduce yourself? You can also tell us your three measurements.¡±


    Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t speak even after a long time had passed. This bored Wang Xiang and he ran off to the dormitory next door to make some noise. Zheng Kai left for the court with a basketball in hand to look for his friends. Before leaving, he asked Zhao Yuan, ¡°Zhao Yuan, you know how to y basketball, don¡¯t you? Let¡¯s have a one-on-one match.¡±


    ¡°Go ahead. I still have something to do,¡± Zhao Yuan replied, smiling. Zheng Yuan left on his own, a little miffed. When everything was finally peaceful, Lin Wenxi went to the washroom to change clothes.


    ¡°Yo? He isn¡¯t even saying thanks?¡± Zhao Yuan smiled pensively. His sight fell on Lin Wenxi¡¯s luggage.


    Lin Wenxi entered the washroom quietly and walked out dressed in a pair of casual ck shorts and a white, feather-like shirt with short sleeves. The shirt set off his pale and thin cheeks, making him look like an otherworldly figure free from the vulgarity of the mortal world. Zhao Yuan¡¯s heart jumped in surprise and a smile soon appeared on his face. ¡°Wenxi, have you eaten?¡±


    Lin Wenxi nodded.


    ¡°That¡¯s enough. How can a busy kid like you have time to eat?¡± Zhao Yuan pointed at the electronic keyboard, the variety of books, umbre, and medicine that Lin Wenxi took out. For a moment, he wanted tough.


    Lin Wenxi paused for a moment. How would he know the location of the dining hall or canteen when he was new to the university? For Zhao Yuan to speak this way, he was just trying to usenguage as well as possible actions to terminate this conversation as early as possible.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Zhao Yuan put his arm over Lin Wenxi¡¯s shoulders, wanting to leave. Lin Wenxi followed along in a daze. It wasn¡¯t until they were on their way that he recalled something and asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you guys already eat?¡±


    ¡°I wasn¡¯t full.¡± Zhao Yuan smiled as he touched his belly that was almost bursting from his hotpot lunch earlier. He fiercely suppressed the belch that would betray his willpower.


    During their subsequent meal, Zhao Yuan stuffed himself so much that he nearly spewed blood. Even so, he was perfectly content because this kid gave him an inherently familiar feeling.

    <h4>Chapter 2 (Help Me Bend Him) Turning a Bet into a Promise with Ease</h4>


    Zhao Yuan volunteered to show Lin Wenxi around the campus after they were done with lunch.


    Lin Wenxi wore aplicated expression the entire time.


    In the expansive campus, avenues that stretched north and south crossed at the center while arterial roads that stretched east and west traversed over them horizontally. Sitting in the middle of it all were crisscrossingnes. There were also some walking trails that led to remote areas of the campus, hidden under the canopy of blooming flowers and verdant greenery. The numerous tall buildings made of reinforced concrete showed a hint of the interesting design of the ssical Gardens of Suzhou with its alternatively hidden and visible structures. To Lin Wenxi¡¯s surprise, Zhao Yuan had memorized all theseplicatednes and where they lead to. What made Lin Wenxi even more speechless was that Zhao Yuan was very familiar with the buildings¨Cwhether it was a teaching building,b building, or dormitory building, which faculty did the building house, and even whether a certain building had a male-female dormitory, which floor was the male dormitory, and which floor was the female dormitory.


    This time, Lin Wenxi had no choice but to open his mouth. ¡°Why do you know everything?¡±


    ¡°My family owns this university.¡± Zhao Yuan burst out inughter as he patted his chest. Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t help curling his lips. ¡°My father, Lin Ziwei, is the true founder of this university...¡±


    If Wang Xiang found about this, his eyes would certainly widen. ¡°The moment he entered the university, the senior sisters who want to help Zhao Yuan with his luggage can form a line! His luggage ended up getting taken to different dormitories and he didn¡¯t have his quilt! He took a few of us brothers and asked around to retrieve his things one by one. How can he not be familiar with the campus?!¡±


    In the afternoon, Lin Wenxi¡¯s three dorm mates exuberantly pretended that they were senior brothers to help same-year freshmen ¡°junior sisters¡± bring their luggage to their dormitories. Even girls without luggage weren¡¯t exempted. The moment they were found strolling around campus alone, they would be the prey of those three.


    When it was almost night time, the three mentally calcted the total of numbers and names of the girls that they individually obtained. They discussed everything from the girls¡¯ looks to figures. The girl that dominated their discussion was a girl named Chen Wanxin, who was surprisingly also their ssmate.


    Zheng Kai described Chen Wanxin in a way that made her protruding parts sound like steamed buns and her perky parts sound like balloons. Lin Wenxi wanted tough when he heard this. It was Wang Xiang who sounded more poetic¡ªChen Wanxin, with beautiful and dark eyebrows like faraway mountains, eyes that submerged one in dreams of peach blossoms, pupils that were like pools of still spring water. Zhao Yuan said disdainfully, ¡°Proud and arrogant ¡®green tea¡¯ (describing ambitious or cunning women who fake innocence).¡±


    ¡°F*ck! Just because she¡¯s the only girl who didn¡¯t give you her number?!¡± Zheng Kai retorted unhappily. ¡°If you¡¯re that good, make her your girlfriend!¡±


    ¡°I bet you can¡¯t make her your girlfriend!¡± Wang Xiang aimed his anger at amon enemy.


    ¡°Oh? What are you betting?¡± Zhao Yuan read a sports digest as hey down carelessly.


    Wang Xiang and Zheng Kai exchanged looks of dismay.


    ¡°I want your No.23 jersey with Jordan¡¯s personal signature,¡± Zhao Yuan told Wang Xiang in azy manner.


    ¡°Deal!¡± Zheng Kai replied straightforwardly. On the other hand, a stunned Wang Xiang firmly knocked his head on the metal frame of the top bunk. ¡°No...¡±


    When Wang Xiang was about to protest, Zheng Kai immediately ran to his top bunk and raised his fist, acting as if he was about to beat him. Wang Xiang pped on a crying face and asked Zhao Yuan, ¡°If you fail to make that girl your girlfriend, what will you lose?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll be your errand boy for a year for free. Needless to say, that includes getting takeout, filling seats, checking in hotels, and asking girls out on my behalf!¡± Zhao Yuan didn¡¯t even look up.


    ¡°Zheng Kai, if that kid happens to seed courting the girl, won¡¯t you and I be suffering a double loss?¡± Wang Xiang was a little hesitant.


    Zheng Kai guffawed. ¡°There are plenty more fish in the sea. Why obsess over a single fish?¡±


    Zhao Yuanughed heartily and asked Wang Xiang for the deadline.


    Wang Xiang raised three fingers. ¡°Three months! Or why don¡¯t we change the bet? Make the poker face in our dorm say something to us tonight. I still don¡¯t know his name...¡±


    Lin Wenxi gave it some thought. Wang Xiang was trying to drag him into these affairs. He quietly and hesitantly said, ¡°Eh?¡±


    The entire dorm fell into silence.


    Wang Xiang maintained his original bet with a crying face. He acknowledged it.


    Over at the women¡¯s dormitory, Chen Wanxin and a group of girls had already gotten to know each other. Girls were slower to be closerpared to guys. Thus, Chen Wanxin sat silently in the dorm. The guy that she ran into earlier in the day gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity, which was why she asked her chauffeur to drive a little closer. She didn¡¯t expect her car to ssh mud all over him.


    When she lowered the car window to look at him, he seemed to have looked past the mud entirely and stared fixedly with his eyes. She stared through him, his ordinary jeans, the white sleeves that were somewhat yellowing, as well as a pair of leisure shoes that couldn¡¯t be any more ordinary. Just one nce told her that he was a child from an impoverished family. Yet, why did his temperament make him look like an otherworldly being that resided outside this chaotic world? He looked so noble that he made her feel a little suffocated. Inexplicably, she felt that there was something in him that was summoning her. It felt instinctual.


    Meanwhile, the guy that she was thinking of was lying down. Zheng Kai and the other two were bbering, discussing the military training tomorrow. They couldn¡¯t help taking out their uniforms and trying them on. Lin Wenxi opened his eyes a little and saw Wang Xiang dressed messily in his camouge clothing. Zheng Kai was dressed too rigidly. Every part of his clothing fitted tightly without any wrinkle to be seen. On the other hand, Zhao Yuan stood straight in his olive-green outfit with a mocking expression on his face.


    Zhao Yuan¡¯s pitch-ck eyes swept Lin Wenxi¡¯s bed. Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t stop his eyelid from twitching until he turned over his body and continued to sleep. There was a brief moment where he felt that Zhao Yuan¡¯s tall, straight stature and his mighty, formidable brows carried an unspeakable majesty.


    The beginning of the military training was marked by a loud and clear whistling sound reverberating far and wide through the entire dormitory building. Someone on the ground floor used a loudspeaker to loudly proim, ¡°The military training for freshmen has officially begun! Everyone put on your clothing neatly, divide yourselves into groups,e down, and line up within five minutes!¡± The other three had long gotten ready. Lin Wenxi was the only one who was a little flustered.


    Zhao Yuan ordered Zheng Kai and Wang Xiang to gather the students in the nearby dormitories as quickly as possible and form groups so that every student could find a ce that they belonged to. When everything calmed down, he looked directly at Lin Wenxi and fixed the button that was fastened crookedly on his shirt. When their eyes met, Lin Wenxi felt Zhao Yuan¡¯s burning hot gaze on him and turned his face away. Just as he wanted to say something, Zhao Yuan had already picked up a red jersey as well as a list of names. With an urgent expression, he pushed Lin Wenxi out of their door.


    Students of every ss roamed chaotically like a bunch of headless flies. Zhao Yuan was the only one who waved his red jersey in the air and yelled, ¡°Students of ss 10, gather here and stand in formation!¡± He took out a list of names and started taking roll call. Like streams flowing back into the ocean, the scattered students swiftly assembled. Zhao Yuan made an upright Zogist salute. ¡°Reporting to the Instructor: ss 10 is fully assembled!¡±


    It was only then that the military instructor¡¯s dark expression slowly eased. He loudly proimed, ¡°Students of ss 10 will first go to the drill ground for the training! The rest of you, run tenps after gathering!¡±


    Students of ss 10 set off in a jog while in a formation amid wailing and howling sounds and ran to the drill ground with vigorous heroess. Being amid the ranks, Lin Wenxi felt as if the red jersey in Zhao Yuan¡¯s hand was like the sunshine bathed in the wind. Suddenly, a strange sense of belongingness and tranquility emerged in his heart.


    Nothing interesting happened over the few days of military training until they were told that they would have a friendship exercise with the female squad the next day.


    It wasn¡¯t known whether the two enemies, Wang Xiang and Zheng Kai, woke up too early or didn¡¯t sleep at all. Before the military instructor even sounded his whistle, the two had already put on their full uniform and set off looking dashing.


    Unfortunately, the friendship exercise would only begin after an entire day of military training. Thus, by the time it started, the two were muddied all over. They sat among their ssmates with their heads hanging dispiritedly. When they left the dormitory earlier, they were immactely dressed. Now, their heads and faces were filthy with grime and looked worse than beasts.


    The rules of the friendly match dictated that if the girls won the talentpetition, they could pinpoint a guy and make him take any ¡°artistic action¡±. The guy wasn¡¯t allowed to refuse, and vice versa if the guys won.


    In the end, reality proved that a truly handsome guy would still stand out in a crowd. In no time at all, countless girls had already picked Zhao Yuan.


    Clenching his teeth, Zhao Yuan made more than ten round trips walking on a handstand and singing five to six songs in a hoarse voice in less than an hour. But when he was requested to sing ¡°Mom Is the Best in the World¡±, he resolutely rejected it and epted the punishment of being hugged, felt up, or carrying a girl and making a round trip around the drill ground.


    This round ofpetition was a dance showdown. Zheng Kai¡¯s street dance performance was filled with fierce and enthusiastic movements. His ample force won him quite a few admiring praises. Surprisingly, Chen Wanxin was chosen to represent the girls. She epted the invitation and slowly walked out.


    In Zheng Kai¡¯s eyes, Chen Wanxin¡¯s perky, substantial chest was still visible under the hazy light despite her olive-green camouge uniform and childish its. There was a small smile on her lovely face and she looked untouched by the vulgarity of the mortal world. Suddenly, therge pair of eyes under her eyshes came to life when her two dimples appeared on her face. The dark of the night was intoxicating and her gentle dance steps were even more so. Her movements were deft and skillful as she took long strides and swayed gently with her waist. Step by step, she formed a lotus flower that blossomed in every male student¡¯s heart.


    Zheng Kai stared fixedly at Chen Wanxin¡¯s steamed buns and the pair of balloons, having fallen deep in the enemy¡¯s trap. He didn¡¯t even realize it when Wang Xiang rapped him on the head.


    The dance performance finally came to an end, leaving its audience in awe. Zheng Kai wholeheartedly epted his loss.


    Chen Wanxin made only one request. ¡°The next male student to be invited is Lin Wenxi of ss 10.¡±


    ¡°Lin Wenxi?¡± Surprisingly, no one in the female squad had heard of him. He had truly kept a low profile.


    Amotion rose among the male squad. It took a while before Zhao Yuan lifted a slender figure and pushed him over to the girls¡¯ side. The corner of his mouth lifted to form a demonic smile. ¡°Wenxi, tame her and then hand her over to me!¡±


    It wasn¡¯t until now that the female squad noticed such an outstanding young master in their ss. His nose, brows, and eyes caused them to begin whispering.


    A dazed Lin Wenxi stood more than a meter away from Chen Wanxin. When she suddenly approached him, he abruptly recalled the car that sshed mud all over him when he was first enrolled. The owner of the car seemed to be this girl, who had looked partially provoking and disdainful.


    ¡°Shut up and kiss me.¡± Chen Wanxin¡¯s eyes fluttered shut, looking as if she must have that kiss.


    Booming adtion resounded in the vicinity like a sudden p of thunder.


    It was such explosive news to see a girl worthy of being called a campus beauty publicly wooing a guy when the school year had just started!


    Zheng Kai suddenly fell silent after hearing Chen Wanxin¡¯s words. Wang Xiang beamed at Zhao Yuan, pondering over how he should torment this youngster throughout the year.


    Chen Wanxin opened her eyes after sensing no movement for a good while. Lin Wenxi had disappeared out of sight. She didn¡¯t know when he had silently walked back to his squad, leaving her alone with her lips puckered for a long time.


    The guys and girls all burst into thunderousughter. The military instructor couldn¡¯t help frowning as he forcefully resisted the urge tough. Chen Wanxin¡¯s lovely face turned burning red under the light. She had never received such a squeaky clean rejection in her life. After a long pause, she clenched her teeth and spat out, ¡°Wait and see, Lin Wenxi.¡± She then turned around firmly and returned to her squad.


    ¡°Help me take my revenge!¡± Chen Wanxin looked at her two dorm mates, Shu Xiaoman and Zhang An¡¯an, with a grieved expression.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t... we bend him...?¡± Shu Xiaowan swallowed a gulp of saliva.


    Zhang An¡¯an raised her hand in agreement and high-fived Shu Xiaoman in congrattions. They had be close friends after realizing that they shared amon interest when they had just entered the university. They thought this matter would have a rather promising oue. Looking at Lin Wenxi¡¯s aura, they found him to be remarkably simr to a cold, arrogant, and pampered ¡°uke¡±. If they could witness for themselves how a talent like this was ¡°bent¡±, wouldn¡¯t it be a beautiful experience?


    Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman exchanged looks and had a brief discussion before whispering the n into Chen Wanxin¡¯s ears. Though Chen Wanxin found the n a little strange, she also thought it was rather clever.


    While they were talking, another match between the guys and girls had unfolded. This time was the male representative¡¯s, Zhao Yuan¡¯s, victory. Surprisingly, he picked Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°I want to date you. Tell me your condition,¡± Zhao Yuan whispered into her ear.


    Chen Wanxin smiled coolly. This poor kid who overestimated his capabilities dared to covet her contact details. Though she had seen many graceful, handsome, and outstanding men since young, she had never seen such a confident and bold expression. The corners of his mouth were curved into a smile. He seemed to exude a strange kind of charm.


    ¡°Oh...¡± Chen Wanxin slowly approached Zhao Yuan with the elegance of an orchid. ¡°Help me bend Lin Wenxi. Make him fall for you and then dump him.¡±


    Zhao Yuan found her words to be unfamiliar to his ears but he didn¡¯t feel awkward at all. He bowed politely and nted a soft kiss on Chen Wanxin¡¯s hand. ¡°Your word is mymand, Your Highness.¡±


    Considering Zhao Yuan¡¯s circumstances, Chen Wanxin found it strange to witness such a carefree guy like him using the French gentlemen¡¯s etiquette. Furthermore, his every movement was lithe and well-practiced.


    It seemed that there were quite a few outstanding guys in this batch of freshmen. Things were about to get interesting.

    <h4>Chapter 4 (Why Are You Shaking Your Ass?) Open Strife, Veiled Struggle, Not Giving Up</h4>


    Next, the students needed to practice matching their strides. Those who marched well would be selected for the square-shaped military parade while those who didn¡¯t would be selected for the square-shaped military boxing parade. Every day, the students would gather at the center of the field to practice military boxing. The only problem was that the center of the field was the field that the university had just freshly repaired. The grassy ground had been cleared out, leaving behind yellow soil. When wind swept the ground, sand would fly as well.


    Wang Xiang found it hard to imagine why history books didn¡¯t make records of the number of deaths that urred during military parades in the fall in ancient times.


    The guys and girls practiced on their own. Zhao Yuan was part of the frontline troops and the one beside him was Lin Wenxi. Zhao Yuan had been upset in many ways ever since drinking Lin Wenxi¡¯s ¡°Desation Water of Lin n¡± and the incident gave rise to the feeling of wanting to fight Lin Wenxi. When he observed Lin Wenxi coolly, he discovered that thetter had a weakness.


    Thus, whenever Wang Dong would yell the rallying cry of ¡°one, two, one¡± in front, Zhao Yuan would perform it to the best standard while mouthing the words ¡°one, one, two; one, one, two¡± over and over to Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi was already struggling to catch up in the first ce. When he heard Zhao Yuan¡¯s unceasing interruption, he obediently followed the wrong order several times and caused a great disorder in the parade.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi, step out of the ranks!¡± Following Zhang Dong¡¯s imposing order, Lin Wenxi took a goose-step forward without hesitation.


    ¡°Try and march again.¡±


    Frowning, Zhang Dong watched Lin Wenxi¡¯s steps while helping thetter to follow the tempo.


    ¡°One, two, one; one, two, one...¡± In the beginning, Lin Wenxi marched very fluidly. Wang Xiang was also naturally reminded of a song lyric: ¡°Majestic he steps into his office, dignified he strides to the courtroom.¡± He found this kind¡¯s posture to be rather beautiful. However, after Lin Wenxi made two trips, everyone stared helplessly as he lost all sense of direction. The same time he moved his left foot, he would swing his left arm. The same time he moved his right foot, he would swing his right arm. He looked like a duck learning to walk. It caused thunderousughter in everyone. The thing was that he was born with such a delicate and unique temperament. It was like a wless gem that had a ck dot on its surface; the blemish would be very apparent.


    Naturally, Lin Wenxi was feeling extremely vexed deep inside. After marching for a while earlier, he heard a faint cry of ¡°one, one, two¡±ing from god knows where. Though the voice was faint and barely audible, it nevertheless ended up upying his whole mind and causing him to lose all reason. He glowered at the only one who stood perfectly straight without a change in expression, Zhao Yuan. He was very clear that if he skinned Zhao Yuan¡¯s face, he would undoubtedly see an unconcealedrge grin underneath.


    ¡°You, go over to a corner and practice by yourself.¡± Zhang Dong guided the other students in practicing the goose-step as if nothing had urred.


    ¡°Report: I wish to request the help of the toon leader.¡± For the first time in history, Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t act mute.


    Zhao Yuan felt a secret stab of fear. Such a request wouldn¡¯t only dy his own training but also hinder the use of the frontline troops. The military instructor would likely disagree.


    Zhang Dong nodded and ordered Zhao Yuan to step out of the ranks. Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi stared at each other as they stood face-to-face.


    ¡°You¡¯re the one who caused this trouble,¡± Zhao Yuan said, smiling.


    Lin Wenxi cast him a cold nce and walked to the middle of the training ground without permission. It was currently noon with the sun hanging directly overhead, spilling dazzling, and luminous sunlight. Standing under the hot sun was enough to make anyone feel dizzy. Even the strictest instructor, Zhang Dong, chose to conduct the training at the side of the training ground. Some of the other instructors even shifted their students to train in tree shade.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi, stop standing under the sun... Lin Wenxi, have you gone mad?¡± Zhao Yuan couldn¡¯t help feeling startled. He felt very depressed.


    Lin Wenxi felt a tiny sliver of the doubt after hearing Zhao Yuan¡¯s contradictory words but remained calm and continued to march seriously on the field. Naturally, Zhao Yuan once again used his trick but Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t react at all. For two consecutive days, Zhao Yuan felt as if his skin was close to shedding after standing under the hot sun. Lin Wenxi, however, seemedpletely untouched. His skin still looked so glossy, soft, and tender. Zhao Yuan was ufortably parched as he stared at the four bottles of water tied to Lin Wenxi¡¯s waist.


    Zhao Yuan disregarded the rules and swiftly seized a bottle of water from Lin Wenxi. He cheerfully said, ¡°Since you¡¯re getting me to be the substitute instructor, you¡¯ll have to pay tuition fee.¡± Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t expect Zhao Yuan to be so shameless as to steal two bottles of water. It wasn¡¯t until Lin Wenxi feigned dizziness that a flustered Zhao Yuan immediately returned a bottle to him. The two of them came to a tacit understanding to live in harmony for the time being.


    The next day, the two of them continued their little warfare. However, Zhang Dong could no longer stomach it and went over to investigate.


    ¡°He has a limited talent for this. I think I¡¯m incapable of training him well.¡± Zhao Yuan spread out his hands, looking as if there was nothing he could do.


    Lin Wenxi took out a media yer from his belt without a word and turned it on with a slight pop. Then, a voice that sounded as if it was delighting in someone else¡¯s misery reverberated: ¡°One, one, two; one, one, two. How obedient! You sure y along well! Pa, pa!¡± The final sound was Zhao Yuan happily pping his hands as he cheered. Right now, it was like two resounding ps on his face.


    Zhang Dong¡¯s expression immediately darkened. He stared fixedly at Zhao Yuan like a sudden bolt of lightning that split open a dense sea of dark clouds. Zhao Yuan couldn¡¯t help trembling deep inside but he also quickly calmed down. He stood straight, perfectly following the military standard, and looked at Zhang Dong with rapt attention. The more obedient he was at this moment, the lighter his punishment would be. Zhao Yuan was well-versed in such affairs indeed.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi, tell me how you¡¯d like to punish him.¡± Zhang Dong looked at Lin Wenxi. In a moment of absent-mindedness, Lin Wenxi felt as if he experienced a misconception. The way Zhang Dong looked at him seemed like the warm sunshine spilling through the eaves on a winter day. Zhang Dong¡¯s gaze also looked the moonlight borne by the tiny wings of a firefly on a midsummer night. Lin Wenxi had never experienced anyone¡¯s gaze at such a close distance. More importantly, he had never seen such a gentle gaze from a man.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi,¡± Zhang Dong said in a chiding tone. The gentleness on his face immediately turned into a strict coldness. Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t help feeling startled and promptly said, ¡°Let him teach me until I learn how to march.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s considered a punishment?¡± Zhang Dong couldn¡¯t help feeling doubtful.


    Lin Wenxi smiled without replying. However, Zhao Yuan looked as if he had encountered his greatest enemy.


    Zhao Yuan¡¯s entire face seemed close to shedding off ayer of skin after tanning under the sun every day. On the other hand, Lin Wenxi¡¯s face was painted with ayer of blush the color of sunset. The natural color blessed him an implicit charm. However, his bad sense of direction seemed to bepletely gone. Zheng Kai and Wang Xiang were bewildered but Lin Wenxi ignored them. When Zhang An¡¯an saw that Wang Xiang was still confused, she jabbed him hard on the temples. ¡°Don¡¯t you understand? He must¡¯ve put on sunscreen of decent quality! How could a little uke who cherishes his face like him not have some form of skincare?¡±


    The next day, Lin Wenxi habitually opened his bottle of facial cream and wiped it all over his face. Then, a spicy smell assailed his nostrils and his face immediately felt a searing heat!


    Lin Wenxi hastily rinsed his face and glimpsed at Zhao Yuan who had just wiped the grin off his face and was burying his head into the pillow.


    On the way to the military training, Zheng Kai felt that something was very wrong with Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Why are you shaking your ass?¡± Zheng Kai asked rudely.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you have better things to do than staring at someone¡¯s ass?¡± Wang Xiang walked over to him.


    Zhao Yuan patted Lin Wenxi¡¯s shoulders. ¡°What... did you do?¡±


    Lin Wenxi walked away without saying a word.


    Zhao Yuan, as the toon leader, waste to the training.


    After running tenps around the field as a punishment and returning to the toon, he put in a request for Lin Wenxi to learn under a different deputy instructor. Lin Wenxi resolutely refused the request. Zhang Dong looked pensive before putting on a cold smile. Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi were sent away with depressed looks, having been kicked off to the military boxing parade. There were only dozens of students that were slowly being eliminated to the military boxing parade. They could barely form a team. They would eat dust and soil over at the field each day, all while shouting, ¡°The first style: protect the crotch!¡±


    Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan turned into a pair of y dolls. In the end, they were invited back to their ss.


    ¡°How¡¯s your progress? Can you match up to others¡¯ strides now?¡± Zhang Dong asked without even raising his head.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan replied dispiritedly.


    ¡°I can¡¯t hear you!¡± Zhang Dong bellowed. The two of them felt a sudden jolt of shock. They puffed their chest, sucked in their abdomen, and stood perfectly straight. They replied loudly, ¡°Report: Yes!¡±


    ¡°Show me!¡± Following Zhang Dong¡¯s order, the two of them made a round trip to demonstrate their marching while the rest students were taking refuge in the shade under trees. Just then, dark clouds suddenly covered the sky. It was as if a hole had been carved out of the sky and cold wind unexpectedly swept the area, bringing with it the pouring of water from the Milky Way. It turned into tens of thousands of dipper that rained down below. Just as Zhao Yuan was quietly whining about the hardship he was experiencing, he saw Lin Wenxi remain engrossed in marching without a change in expression. Lin Wenxi demonstrated the march step by step, surprisingly perfectly. Drenched, the two of them returned to the toon under their ssmates¡¯ jest.


    In order to catch up to everyone¡¯s pace, Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi suspended their internal strife for the time being. They began putting in extra effort into their training. Whenever Zhang Dong waved his huge hand, the two of them would often leave the toon all by themselves to undergo special training. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuan disyed a startling talent in this area. Not only was he able to grasp the gist of every movement at once, but he was also able to master it at once. His mind and body were united as one, allowing him to learn extremely quickly. By contrast, Lin Wenxi¡¯s memory was indeed impressive but the coordination of his movements was unnatural and unregted. He kept falling further and further behind.


    ¡°We¡¯ll all keep an eye on you, okay?¡± Zhao Yuan told Lin Wenxi, happily requesting from Zhang Dong the permission to return to the toon and train. Thus, a wonderful scene appeared in the ss. While everyone was training in a square-shaped formation, Lin Wenxi practiced by his own in a corner.


    When it was a little after nine, the military songs choir came to an end and everyone was dismissed. However, Zhao Yuan had been unable to detect Lin Wenxi¡¯s whereabouts for many consecutive nights. The only thing he knew was that Lin Wenxi would quietly tiptoe in past midnight and return to his bed to sleep only when it was close to one am. The uniform bedtime during the military training was before 10.30 pm and the military instructor woulde and inspect the rooms unscheduled after that hour. That was because the next day, the instructor would have to wake up at 5.30 am to arrange internal affairs and wee the inspection. Zhang Dong wasn¡¯t quite as meticulous when it came to this aspect. He sought only results as well as for students not to arrivete and leave early, train seriously, andply with the discipline. It didn¡¯t matter to him if the students slept a littleter. Thus, he had only inspected two times since the beginning of military training.


    That night, Lin Wenxi returned to his dormitory veryte. Once he came back, he immediately looked for his cell phone using a shlight. Zhao Yuan peeked his head out of his top bunk and said happily, ¡°Instructor Zhang came to inspect our dorm today. Oh, you didn¡¯t bring your phone. When we called you, it¡¯s sitting there making a helpless noise, a helpless noise...¡±


    Lin Wenxi retorted coolly, ¡°Thief!¡±


    Zhao Yuan couldn¡¯t help feeling panicked. ¡°You¡¯re the one who left it behind! It¡¯s not my fault!¡±


    Lin Wenxi said coldly, ¡°Despicable! You don¡¯t even dare to admit your wrongdoing aftermitting it!¡±


    Seeing as his reputation was about to be tainted, Zhao Yuan loudly cried, ¡°Don¡¯t use me of things I¡¯ve not done! No matter how you put it, I¡¯m not the one who did it!¡±


    Lin Wenxi said, ¡°I don¡¯t care how you dispute this.¡±


    Zhao Yuan felt both angry and panicked. He couldn¡¯t help hitting hard on the frame of the bed and then on the bedside. The bed was unable to resist the force and trembled. Zhao Yuan could feel the pain reaching deep into his bone marrow and sucked in a cold breath. Themotion had awakened both Zheng Kai and Wang Xiang, who vaguely heard the sound of people arguing. Zheng Kai said impatiently, ¡°If it¡¯s not you, then it¡¯s not you. Why are you wasting your saliva?¡± Wang Xiang seriously exined things to Lin Wenxi. ¡°It¡¯s really not Zhao Yuan. I¡¯m the one who found your cell phone.¡± When Zhao Yuan heard his words, he knew that his unjust treatment was being washed clean and he felt relieved of a burden. He then smugly awaited Lin Wenxi¡¯s apology.


    ¡°Oh. Of course, I know that,¡± Lin Wenxi replied cidly. Then, no other sound came from him.


    ¡°You!!!¡± Zhao Yuan was so infuriated that he felt like his lungs were about to explode. He wanted to retaliate yet he didn¡¯t wish to disturb his other dorm mates. Thus, hey down on the bed while struggling. A few words from Lin Wenxi had sessfully provoked him to this state. Lin Wenxi was too despicable!

    <h4>Chapter 4 (Why Are You Shaking Your Ass?) Open Strife, Veiled Struggle, Not Giving Up</h4>


    Next, the students needed to practice matching their strides. Those who marched well would be selected for the square-shaped military parade while those who didn¡¯t would be selected for the square-shaped military boxing parade. Every day, the students would gather at the center of the field to practice military boxing. The only problem was that the center of the field was the field that the university had just freshly repaired. The grassy ground had been cleared out, leaving behind yellow soil. When wind swept the ground, sand would fly as well.


    Wang Xiang found it hard to imagine why history books didn¡¯t make records of the number of deaths that urred during military parades in the fall in ancient times.


    The guys and girls practiced on their own. Zhao Yuan was part of the frontline troops and the one beside him was Lin Wenxi. Zhao Yuan had been upset in many ways ever since drinking Lin Wenxi¡¯s ¡°Desation Water of Lin n¡± and the incident gave rise to the feeling of wanting to fight Lin Wenxi. When he observed Lin Wenxi coolly, he discovered that thetter had a weakness.


    Thus, whenever Wang Dong would yell the rallying cry of ¡°one, two, one¡± in front, Zhao Yuan would perform it to the best standard while mouthing the words ¡°one, one, two; one, one, two¡± over and over to Lin Wenxi.

 Chapter 5 (I’ll Go Soft on You Just This Once) The Delicate Youngster Shows His Might

    <h4>Chapter 5 (I¡¯ll Go Soft on You Just This Once) The Delicate Youngster Shows His Might</h4>


    When Zhao Yuan thought of the punishment that Lin Wenxi would face the next day, his anger gradually dissipated.


    Thest time Zhang Dong inspected their dormitory, Zheng Kai had sneaked out to celebrate his victory over a senior brother on the basketball court. His punishment had been to do one hundred press-ups. Zhao Yuan was thinking that he could step up when Lin Wenxi¡¯s face was twisted pitifully from panting while doing the press-ups. Being the toon leader, him honorably offering to rece Lin Wenxi would cause thetter to owe him a great favor. Naturally, he would still wait until Lin Wenxi was almost dying of exhaustion before bravely stepping forward. Zhao Yuan fell asleep happily as if Lin Wenxi had already lowered his head and plead for leniency from him with a pout.


    However, Zhang Dong only asked about Lin Wenxi¡¯s whereabouts, evidently not finding it a huge problem. This turn of events confused Zhao Yuan.


    Zhao Yuan waited for Lin Wenxi to leave the dormitory and then secretly followed after him.


    When Wang Xiang noticed that something was going on, he immediately hid and followed after Zhao Yuan. Zheng Kai, unable to stand to be the only one left in the dormitory, helplessly followed after Wang Xiang. Wang Xiang got a fright after finding someone behind him and he loudly asked Zheng Kai, ¡°Why do you like walkingst? Don¡¯t tell me you have feelings for me...¡±


    Zheng Kai delivered a kick at Wang Xiang¡¯s ass. ¡°I have a bone to pick with you!¡±


    Wang Xiang couldn¡¯t help arguing, ¡°I¡¯ll fight you to the death!¡±


    The two of them bickered for a moment, only to find no trace of Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi anywhere. They left on their own whileining. Wang Xiang went to look for Zhang An¡¯an while Zheng Kai raised his cell phone with an unwitting smile on his face. Disyed on the screen of the phone was Chen Wanxin¡¯s photograph.


    Zhao Yuan lost his target after tailing him halfway and resorted to asking passers-by. ¡°Have you seen a handsome male student wearing a white t-shirt?¡±


    The girl who was carrying water stared at him for a good minute before calmly replying, ¡°I have; aren¡¯t you one?¡± Zhao Yuan looked at his body and realized that he was identally wearing a white t-shirt. He had no choice but to correct his wording. ¡°He has fair skin and refined looks. He wears frameless sses and is pretty thin.¡±


    The eyes of the girl carrying the water blossomed into peach flowers while she pointed at a lonesome figure in the gymnasium. ¡°I respect him so much! He¡¯de over at eight or nine pm every night to practice until twelve pm! His movements are perfectly coordinated and his posture is bloody awesome!¡±


    Zhao Yuan gave her a small nod. Just as he was about to take his leave, the girl said with a smile, ¡°These days, love between two guys is epted! Especially you two who are born to be a couple! Hold on tight to your chance and don¡¯t let other people im your man!¡±


    Zhao Yuan found her words to be inexplicable and confusing. After casting her a nce, he immediately walked over to the gymnasium. The only thing was that the girl appeared rather familiar. Of course, he would find her familiar, seeing as he and Shu Xiaoman once met each other briefly during the military training.


    Havinge across a treasure on her journey, Shu Xiaoman was naturally jumping in joy. She excitedly called Zhang An¡¯an and told her everything. Zhang An¡¯an, who was reading her horoscope to exin her life at that time, immediately became spirited and ran to the outside of the gymnasium. There, she saw Zhao Yuan standing alone.


    Zhao Yuan watched as Lin Wenxi stood alone, first marching to others¡¯ stride, then marching at parade step, standing at ease, turning left, turning right, and finally saluting. Lin Wenxi repeated every movement more than ten times, so much so that he even fell down while trying to turn left because of his legs going soft. However, he swiftly climbed to his feet and continued practicing. When Lin Wenxi practiced his goose-step, Zhao Yuan secretlyughed at his kick looking as gentle as a feather. That was because Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t lift his foot high enough and his footing was often unstable. Thus, when the sole of his footnded on the ground so weakly that not even the slightest bit of dust would fly, his movement looked disharmonious in military training that required every movement to produce a thunderous sound. However, at this moment, Zhao Yuan couldn¡¯t bring himself tough no matter what. In order to produce the best effect, Lin Wenxi kept lifting his leg and mming it hard on the ground again and again. If the impact wasn¡¯t as strong as he desired, he would stop and stamp his foot on the original spot with as much force as he could muster.


    Under the dim light, Zhao Yuan saw the sweat on the youngster¡¯s forehead as well as the expression that was many times calmer and more tenacious than usual. So it turned out that it was only when Lin Wenxi was alone that he would show all these.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go soft on you just this once,¡± Zhao Yuan thought. ¡°This person is really tormenting himself, not even having dinner.¡± He slowly walked out, preparing to seek the manager to help bring some bread and fruits into the gymnasium. The minute he stepped out, he caught a glimpse of Zhang An¡¯an and the girl who carried water earlier gathered. Both of them couldn¡¯t look more excited than if they had tried.


    ¡°You don¡¯t know me, do you? I¡¯m Shu Xiaoman, An¡¯an¡¯s dorm mate!¡± Shu Xiaoman extended her hand politely. She honestly found a heroic and imposing character like Zhao Yuan to be very suited for a character with a distinguished temperament like Lin Wenxi. The two of them were simply a match made in heaven.


    Zhao Yuan returned the courtesy and, after thinking for a moment, said, ¡°Can you two help him?¡±


    Extraordinarily, the two of them nodded at the same time. Their movements were even more coordinated than that of the military instructor during the training.


    Zhao Yuan said, ¡°He hasn¡¯t had dinner yet. Since you¡¯re here to see him, don¡¯t you think you should do something?¡±


    An idea suddenly hit Zhang An¡¯an. ¡°No problem, but you must fork out the money and get the food yourself.¡±


    Naturally, Zhao Yuan wouldn¡¯t care about things like this. He said brightly, ¡°That¡¯s for sure.¡±


    After Zhao Yuan handed them the milk and bread, Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman happily entered the gymnasium.


    Lin Wenxi was still practicing without stopping. The pool of sweat on the shiny floor was very obvious to the eye. Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman handed him the food with beaming smiles. Even though Lin Wenxi was starving, he appeared upset by the girls¡¯ abrupt disruption and politely refused.


    Zhang An¡¯an couldn¡¯t stop herself from yelling, ¡°Zhao Yuan told us to give them to you! He was outside watching you for a long time!¡± She was hoping that Lin Wenxi would ept the food, perfectly contented. Unexpectedly, Lin Wenxi swiftly picked up his jacket and left without even looking back.


    ¡°An¡¯an! Why did you sell Zhao Yuan out so quickly? Didn¡¯t we agree that their love should be love-hate?¡± Shu Xiaoman wanted to cry but no tears came. She felt as if a good script that she had penned was abruptly edited by the director.


    ¡°Silly! It¡¯s time to stop fishing for results! The two of them have been fighting for a good few days. It¡¯s the time to let Wenxi find out about Zhao Yuan¡¯s feelings. Besides, you saw it, didn¡¯t you? Zhao Yuan isn¡¯t faking his concern for Wenxi. Why shouldn¡¯t we give our blessing?¡± Zhang An¡¯an said, smiling.


    ¡°But look, Lin Wenxi seems to be angry,¡± Shu Xiaoman said.


    ¡°He¡¯s just angry that Zhao Yuan didn¡¯t give him the food directly,¡± Zhang An¡¯an said, particrly confidently. She blinked and put her thumbs and middle fingers together to press onto Shu Xiaoman¡¯s forehead. ¡°Little girl, don¡¯t tell me that you¡¯re harboring other thoughts.¡±


    Shu Xiaoman lowered her head a little. ¡°How is it possible...¡± Even so, she appeared incredibly pale and feeble when she said these words. She was confused herself, too. The seemingly frail and delicate Lin Wenxi had such a stubborn side to him. His pupils were so bright and firm and his standards for himself were so high. He was countless times stronger than the boys that she had met. It was so much so that in the past half hour that she had been watching Lin Wenxi, the desire of crying had appeared in her eyes.


    Zhang An¡¯anughed brightly and then returned to report this to Chen Wanxin with Shu Xiaoman. Chen Wanxin was considered the unquestionable leader of their three-person dormitory. She had also vaguely be the leader of the girls in the ss. She was liberal with money and always the one who would pick up the bill at dinner. Whenever the girls had problems, she would undoubtedly take the responsibility to help them. Her background must be pretty significant.

 Chapter 6 (Overexertion) Harming Others by Harming Oneself Leading to Mutual Elimination

    <h4>Chapter 6 (Overexertion) Harming Others by Harming Oneself Leading to Mutual Elimination</h4>


    Soon, it would be the final selection drill for the square-shaped formation of the military training.


    The students of Jifu University must form a proper square-shaped formation as well as listen to the military instructor¡¯s orders to stand straight, go forward, go backward, match others¡¯ strides, perform the goose-step, squat down in ce, and march at the same time.


    In the beginning, the squads marched superbly after the order to perform goose-steps was made. Suddenly, someone in the front row staggered and plunged forward to the ground. Under ordinary circumstances, everyone would have stopped and burst outughing but it was now a matter of honor for their entire ss. Everyone fell into silence and inwardly despising this person who was humiliating them at this critical moment¡ªLin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi knew that when Zhao Yuan, who stood beside him, shoved his toes at him when withdrawing his foot. Unable to react in time, Lin Wenxi immediately copsed.


    However, the grim-facedmander had yet to order for them to stop. Every student that made up the subsequent rows must move forward and trample over him without stopping. Wang Xiang, who stood behind Lin Wenxi, closed his eyes and lifted his leg high up. He was about to step on Lin Wenxi¡¯s body with force. If someone stopped at this moment, it would be deemed an act of defiance of the order. It would cause the entire ss to be eliminated.


    Zhao Yuan¡¯s n was to trip Lin Wenxi and make him stagger as it wasn¡¯t something major to the ss. What he didn¡¯t expect was that Lin Wenxi had been forcing himself to practice for many days, causing his waist and thighs to be limp and painful. Lin Wenxi had been persisting on the basis of his mind alone. When Lin Wenxi fell, Zhao Yuan couldn¡¯t think of anything else and immediately rushed to his aid.


    ¡°Halt!¡± The ear-splitting, thunderous sound instantly gave everyone relief and they reflectively halted. However, the one who gave the order wasn¡¯t themander. It was Instructor Zhang Dong, who dared to righteously defy thew of heaven.


    Everyone looked at each other in dismay and the atmosphere suddenly became incredibly severe.


    ¡°Zhang Dong!¡±


    ¡°Here!¡±


    ¡°Your row is eliminated!¡± themander bellowed.


    ¡°I request to run fiftyps! I implore you, Senior Official, to give us another chance!¡± Zhang Dong yelled, as he stood straight and made a salute.


    Themander¡¯s expression turned ashen and he left with his hands sped behind his back. He walked toward the other squad without turning his head around.


    Zhang Dong ordered the row of students that he was responsible to stand in ce at attention. He himself went off to run under the hot sun.


    Lin Wenxi cast Zhao Yuan a quick nce and ran off after Zhang Dong without turning his head. Zhao Yuan swiftly ran past Lin Wenxi and went up to Zhang Dong.


    Lin Wenxi hadn¡¯t run for long before he felt like his soul was already leaving his body. When he ran past the girls¡¯ squad, he was no longer able to keep going. He lowered his head as his pace slowed to a stop before raising his head again to continue running. Someone handed him a bottle with a redbel. The owner of the bottle had a pair of fair hands that were untouched by the burning sun under the olive-colored long sleeves.


    Lin Wenxi barely raised his head to see a person with bright eyes and white teeth grinning widely at him. He waved his hand and continued moving forward. When he ran past the girls¡¯ squad again in his secondp, the girl handed him her bottle of water again. Lin Wenxi once again rejected her offer. This continued in his thirdp and Lin Wenxi was once again persistent. However, he felt as if he had tripped over something and fell to the ground with a tumble. He copsed on the ground, unable to get up for a long time. When he saw the grinning girl withdraw her foot, he felt a moment of confusion rather than a stab of displeasure.


    The girl unscrewed the lid, pinched Lin Wenxi¡¯s cheek with one hand, and poured water into his mouth with her other hand. Fuming, she said, ¡°It¡¯s fine if you¡¯re this way, but you even forced me, Shu Xiaoman, to give you water! Do you know that the Instructor would punish me with twenty press-ups each time Ie here?! I¡¯ve never done that many press-ups in my entire life! What should I do if my muscles be developed? What should I do if my arms be big?¡±


    Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t know if he should cry orugh, but he was unable to retort with all the water pouring into his system. It wasn¡¯t until that half of the water poured down his body and the other half entering his stomach that Shu Xiaoman threw the bottle at him and turned around to leave in anger.


    The sun hung high overhead and the autumn hot spell wreaked havoc on everyone. It took no more than twops for Zhang Dong¡¯s neat camouge uniform to be soaked with sweat. However, he didn¡¯t even make a move to wipe away his sweat. His eyes were burning like fire as he advanced courageously. Zhao Yuan finally caught up to him. He told Zhang Dong what happened while panting heavily.


    ¡°Take good care of him when you return,¡± Zhang Dong said quietly.


    Zhao Yuan jumped in fright. He simply couldn¡¯t get used to the Instructor speaking in such a mild manner.


    ¡°Hey, why are you being so delicate? You just stumbled a little. Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re faking it?¡± Zhao Yuan asked carelessly.


    Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t reply.


    Zhao Yuan started panicking. He swiftly ran to Lin Wenxi, subconsciously putting a foot in front of him. He turned pale with fright and immediately withdraw his foot. He heard only a quiet snort from Lin Wenxi and saw thetter flying out. Simultaneously, Zhao Yuan¡¯s awkward posture caused him to fall atop Lin Wenxi.


    ...


    ¡°Zhao Yuan!¡± Underneath him, Lin Wenxi¡¯s nasally voice was basically raging with anger.


    ¡°I hurt myself during the fall. I can¡¯t move.¡± Zhao Yuan faked a groan. He then heard a quiet groan from Lin Wenxi below him and nothing else.


    Zhao Yuan immediately climbed to his feet. Below him, Lin Wenxi swiftly stood up and wiped Zhao Yuan¡¯s face with a fistful of sand.


    ¡°You wench! You know nothing except to fake death, dizziness, and stupidity!¡± Zhao Yuan sprang toward Lin Wenxi and picked him up by the waist. He carried Lin Wenxi back to their squad and threw thetter on the field. Lin Wenxi no longer had any strength to climb back up. Hey there and stared nkly at Zhang Dong swiftly running all fiftyps and all twenty kilometers.


    Lin Wenxi himself requested to be shifted to the square-shaped military boxing parade. Zhao Yuan told the ss what had happened and also requested to be shifted.


    The two of them departed amidst sounds of sighing. Their ssmates couldn¡¯t helpmenting with regret. To be fair, Lin Wenxi had been catching up to them despitegging behind in the beginning. No matter which subject, he had been performing to the best standardtely. He wasn¡¯t in any way inferior to the squad leader Zhao Yuan or the ¡°man of steel¡± Zheng Kai.


    In the end, four people, all from Dorm No. 216 were also expelled from the military parade to the military boxing formation. Moreover, two upants of them also appeared overjoyed.


    Zhao Yuan knew very well that Zhang An¡¯an and Chen Wanxin were also expelled to the military boxing squad. Due to the nature of the performance put on by the squad, there would naturally be the mingling between the guys and girls.


    ¡°I heard your n failed?¡± During their rest tie, Chen Wanxin looked for Zhao Yuan and sat together with him. She carelessly waved her little handkerchief to fan herself and turned the fruit that the older Senior Sister gave Zhao Yuan earlier in her hands from time to time. Then, she peeled the skin of the fruit without giving it much thought and focused on eating as she stood up. She conveniently tossed a few of the fruits to her squad mates. Even though she was dripping with sweat, the indistinct fragranceing off from her swirled in the air and entered Zhao Yuan¡¯s nostrils. With every movement of her handkerchief, the faint wind would carry the fragrance of jasmine everywhere. Before long, the heads of quite a few guys popped up next to Zhao Yuan. In Zheng Kai¡¯s words, this was the fragrance of earth after returning to the vige and open fields of one¡¯s childhood.


    ¡°There¡¯s still time,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°Don¡¯t let me look down on you.¡± Chen Wanxin patted Zhao Yuan gently on the shoulder with a bright smile. The flirtatious nature of the exchange was unconceble.


    ¡°It¡¯s not something pressing. It¡¯s already within my grasp; both he and you.¡± Zhao Yuan¡¯s heroic emotions exploded after Chen Wanxin¡¯s provocation.


    Chen Wanxin¡¯s heart stirred ever so slightly. It seemed that Zhao Yuan¡¯s feelings for her were rather sincere.


    The end of the military parade of the freshmen finally arrived but unfortunately, the weather refused to cooperate and brought on a heavy downpour. Chen Wanxin had brought her cell phone with a dedicated camera function to the event, full of joy and expectation. She had nned on uploading the photo online and she already had Zhang An¡¯an and Wang Xiang came up with the title: ¡°hical leader avoids the rain while smoking and cracking melon seeds; the down-and-out students get drenched in the rain as they march against the wind.¡±


    When Chen Wanxin saw the leader of the army and the group of military instructors standing on the spacious and empty field and getting drenched with the other students without using an umbre, she immediately felt that the title of the photograph would be libelous. She shoved her cell phone into Zheng Kai¡¯s hands and had him keep it for her. In the past few days, everyone could see how loyal he was to her. It was also the time to test his persistence. Zheng Kai was so happy that he forgot himself and started babbling god knows what. Chen Wanxin didn¡¯t pay attention and merely nodded casually.


    Wang Xiang was instantly overjoyed. ¡°Did she really promise to gift you this phone?¡±


    Zheng Kai nodded resolutely. Wang Xiang expressed his desire to borrow this high-quality object for several days and take good photographs of him and Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s daily life. He would thenpose poetry and turn the photographs into mini animation as a gift for Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s uing birthday. Zheng Kai happily gave his tacit agreement. He got Wang Xiang to keep the phone and hide it properly in his pocket before leaving with a peace of mind.


    The night squads for the square-shaped military parade put on a rather uniform performance. The eyes of all the squad leaders were light. There was now very little disparity between them and the square-shaped military parade of the regr army. The way they swung their arms, kicked their legs, shouted the slogans, went forward in unison, and neatly adhered to the official standard didn¡¯tck in the slightest. They appeared grand and majestic.


    Meanwhile, the square-shaped military boxing parade appeared to be in disorder.


    The ambitious Zheng Kai carelessly hit Wang Xiang right in the middle of his butt while throwing a punch. Wang Xiang¡¯s eyes widened in shock and he opened his mouth to yell, ¡°Brother Kai! I already have An¡¯an! Shouldn¡¯t we... consider this in another lifetime?¡±


    Zheng Kai couldn¡¯t stop himself from kicking Wang Xiang until he was staggering. Wang Xiang took advantage of the moment to run over to Zhang An¡¯an. In a sh, a burst of mor arose in the square-shaped military boxing parade. Frowning, Lin Wenxi stared coolly at Zhang An¡¯an who was about to throw herself at him. Zhang An¡¯an was so frightened that she nearly trembled. She stood there, frozen. She then abruptly changed her direction to go over to Zhao Yuan. Only then did the ¡°military heart¡± stabilized once again.


    When the military parade ended, all the guys of the square-shaped military boxing parade were told to practice in the field all day long. They were indifferent as the rain was nice and cold. They put their hands on their hips and began chattering. Unexpectedly, the moment the military instructor finished speaking, the clouds scattered and the rain let up. The sun revealed itself, shining as brightly as the military instructor¡¯s smiling face. The expression of the guys immediately fell in dejection.


    Wang Xiang cried out in surprise, ¡°So everyone¡¯s been ¡®sunned¡¯ (ng for having sexual rtions with a man).¡± Zheng Kai enclosed Wang Xiang¡¯s forehead, thinking this child had been poisoned too severely, and by Zhang An¡¯an at that. He then stared at Chen Wanxin with rapt attention as well as her slightly protruding butt and the cascading long hair after she took off her cap. Her entire being was like a walking poison that made her irresistible to men whether physiologically or mentally. Moreover, the poison was suddenly approaching him in a leisurely manner. The poison opened her mouth to say, ¡°Where¡¯s my phone?¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t... you give it to me as a gift?¡± Zheng Kai resisted the poison.


    ¡°Since when did I say that?¡±


    ¡°Oh... So I misunderstood you. Wang... Wang Xiang, the cell phone...¡±


    Wang Xiang was seated on the ground, looking immersed. The heads of a group of guys were gathered next to his. They were so upied that no sound could touch them. Chen Wanxin cast a nce at them and immediately saw the screen of her cell phone flickering nonstop. There were photographs that were showing up over and over on the screen.


    ¡°Zheng Kai!!!¡±


    ¡°Ah...!¡± Zheng Kai cried in horror. He held his crotch. ¡°How vicious! What will you do for the second half of your life?¡±


    Wang Xiang and the rest had run so far that not even their shadows could be seen. The cell phone was ced safely atop a cushion. The screen was finally showing thest of the series of photographs. It was none other than the one of Zhao Yuan training Lin Wenxi in matching others¡¯ stride¡ªthe anxious and conscientious-looking Zhao Yuan as well as a cid Lin Wenxi. To any onlooker, this was a very harmonious scene. It was up to anyone¡¯s guess how Chen Wanxin managed to photograph this scene at such a close range.


    Chen Wanxin¡¯s expression changed ever so slightly. She took light steps to grab her cell phone. With a shallowugh, she said, ¡°Zheng Kai, you owe me a favor.¡± Zheng Kai¡¯s spirit was already flying after seeing her sweet smile. Naturally, he didn¡¯t know what she was saying and was just busy nodding nonstop.

 Chapter 7 (Reward of 500,000!!) Heavy Reward to Encourage the Participation of the Courageous

    <h4>Chapter 7 (Reward of 500,000!!) Heavy Reward to Encourage the Participation of the Courageous</h4>


    The girls of the female Dorm No. 419 invited Zhao Yuan to tea.


    ¡°You embarrassed him so much in public! You overdid it!¡± Zhang An¡¯an said. ¡°Did you see his gaze earlier? It was as sharp as a knife! It was so cold that it made one¡¯s liver and lung shiver! Moreover, he deserved credit for maintaining discipline and even when he was punished, he didn¡¯t show the slightest bit of reaction. He really knows how to grasp the bigger picture. I think Zhao Yuan will have a hard time nailing him.¡± Zhang An¡¯an was still having lingering fears over Lin Wenxi¡¯s gaze when they were in the square-shaped military boxing parade.


    ¡°No... I was doing it to vent anger on behalf of Wanxin,¡± Zhao Yuan retorted self-righteously.


    ¡°Venting anger? That¡¯s one way to do it. But if you overdo things, how will you ¡®bend¡¯ him?¡± Shu Xiaoman interrupted.


    ¡°I think... it doesn¡¯t matter... whether he¡¯s ¡®bent¡¯ or not. We don¡¯t have to go all the way,¡± Chen Wanxin suddenly said.


    Zhao Yuan¡¯s eyes immediately brightened. ¡°Why don¡¯t we drop this? We¡¯ll just let it be.¡±


    ¡°No way, no way! That¡¯spletely insincere! What you have to do next is to treat him kindly! Suppress him and then praise him! When conditions are right, sess will naturally follow!¡± Zhang An¡¯anughed while pping.


    After thinking about it, Chen Wanxin reluctantly nodded.


    ¡°I think the two of us must do something to suppress him or sess will be far out of grasp,¡± Zhang An¡¯an said, smiling.


    ¡°What are you going to do?¡± Inevitably, Shu Xiaoman was on guard.


    Zhang An¡¯an shed her a faint smile. ¡°I care so much for Lin Wenxi; how could I bring myself to do anything to him?¡± She whispered into Shu Xiaoman¡¯s ears and thetter couldn¡¯t stop herself from howling inughter.


    ¡°Could it be that you want me to make the move myself?¡± Chen Wanxin asked.


    ¡°No. If it¡¯s you, he¡¯ll either be dead or injured. Didn¡¯t you just make Zhang Liang from the next ss swallow the love letter he wrote to you while crying the day before yesterday?¡± Shu Xiaoman immediately raised a hand to stop her.


    ¡°I heard there¡¯ll soon be a camp. There will be plenty of chances,¡± Zhang An¡¯an said, smiling.


    The camp that Zhang An¡¯an mentioned was the cruelest part of the military training for freshmen of Jifu University. The so-called training could be better described as a countryside survival contest. Students were free to form their own groups. Food was limited and each group would have to find a depot to replenish their stock. This year, the freshmen and sophomores would train together. There would be three thousand students in total. Only the first three hundred students to reach the depot would be qualified to enter the second round. The students would keep getting eliminated until the champion, first runner-up, and second runner-up were crowned at the final depot.


    Wang Xiang was loudly reading the rules while slowly rubbing the stubble on his chin. He cast a sideward nce at Lin Wenxi¡¯s sleek-as-jade neck and chin and clicked his tongue while sighing.


    ¡°How boring.¡± Zheng Kai smiled faintly. To him, any sort of university-level military training was nothing more than child¡¯s y.


    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re afraid, Brother Kai?¡± Wang Xiang chuckled. Then, he heard a loud noise as the board that supported his bed creaked miserably and a force prated the board to deliver a stinging pain on his butt. Wang Xiang red at Zheng Kai with a grimace. Zheng Kai withdrew his hand, acting as if nothing had happened.


    Zheng Kai indeed thought of such training as child¡¯s y. Being a graduate of the Green Fields Military Academy, he was a strong and sturdy person who had long experienced many battles. There was no way he could ept Wang Xiang mocking him like that.


    Zhao Yuan changed his position after hearing their conversation and neatly made a paper airne. When Wang Xiang opened his big mouth to ask again, the paper airne flew straight into his mouth. He took out the paper airne moodily. Zhao Yuan leisurely said, ¡°Unfold the airne and read what¡¯s inside.¡±


    Wang Xiang¡¯s mouth widened as he read. Zheng Kai also couldn¡¯t help holding his breath as he listened with rapt attention. Lin Wenxi maintained the state of being fast asleep or being dead. Zhao Yuan turned Wang Xiang¡¯s No. 23 jersey in his hands and tried to measure it against his body.


    Jifu University was established five years ago by the Education Bureau Chief of the town, Lin Ziwei. It was a university that operated amongmoners and had an incredibly strict militarized supervision and terribly harsh admission conditions. Every year, they would admit only one thousand and five hundred students to its nine majors of Englishnguage, Chinesenguage, sports studies, international trade,puter science,w, physics,munications engineering, and machine automation. The university would never publicly or directly attract new students, only leaving their faculty to gather students with proper qualifications from all over the country. Thus, in the first year of the university¡¯s operation, only a little more than one hundred students were recruited. Later on, the admission criteria were even rxed until the talents of Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan¡¯s batch were fully recruited. However, students from all over the country rushed to enter this university for the sole reason that of the more than one hundred students of the first batch, ten were sent to the United States as exchange students. It was said that they went to Harvard, Yale, and MIT. That was only when everyone found out that the origin of the reputation of Jifu University was abroad.


    Even the investment to establish the university that the omniscient Lin Ziwei garnered came from overseas. They might not be able to write rmendations for students to study in the top universities in the country, but the ivy leagues overseas were offering their olive branches to Jifu University instead. This way, the faculty didn¡¯t even have to run around. Students from all over the country who didn¡¯t wish to go the ordinary way would take the initiative to enter Jifu University.


    However, the number of students who could receive a rmendation for the ivy leagues overseas was small and there were countless tests that the students would have to endure before getting their wish. The military training at the beginning of their admission in the past three months was a cudgel that aimed straight for their faces. The results of the military training and the countryside camp were their best rewards. The rewards of the past years weren¡¯t as good as this year¡¯s simply because the first student who graduated from Harvard in the past five years was too remarkable and helped Jifu University obtain an incredible advantage. Thus, the countryside camp was abruptly turned into a countryside survival contest for both freshmen and sophomores. The only thing was that the reward was so great that the five obstinate and unreasonable old men concealed all the details of the camp. In the beginning, they nned to only announce it at the first turning point. Unexpectedly, the granddaughter of one of the obstinate old men stole the information and it eventually ended up in Zhao Yuan¡¯s hands.


    What sort of rewards were there?


    The first thirty students to reach the endpoint would receive ten rmendation credits each. What was the use of rmendation credits? ording to the final-year credit umtion ranking of the university, the higher up the ranking one was, the better the university one could choose. For example, one could opt for Harvard or Cambridge. This was significant as the top scorer of every grade for cultural and societal practices would be eligible to obtain one credit. The top rankers of the various knowledgepetitions organized by the university would also receive only one credit. If one was elected as the leading youngster of the small town or given a courageous award, one would receive five credits. Only those who were selected as having ¡°moved the world¡± and made a name for themselves on the cultural or nationalpetitions on various television stations would receive ten credits. Thirty credits would be awarded to those whose papers, inventions, and the like received national-level and international recognition. That was to say that the first thirty students who reached the endpoint would basically receive the treatment of someone who has ¡°moved the world¡±!


    The top three guys and three girls out of the thirty people would receive 30 rmendation credits. The champion for both genders would be eligible to apply for the rmendation for Harvard and receive a schrship of 500,000 yuan.


    ¡°My brothers and sisters, could I be dreaming?¡± Wang Xiang felt as if he had been awakened from a dream but his words seemed to have plunged his listeners into dreand instead.


    Everyone in the dorm was burning with desire. Even Lin Wenxi, who was internally and externally cool, was inevitably moved. Simultaneously, he was also a little displeased. There was no word from his father at all about this sort of reward.


    Very soon, someone came to investigate. This information was top secret before its announcement. The senior sisters had stolen the information and passed it onto Zhao Yuan. Naturally, she would have to collect it back from Zhao Yuan. Several soldierly-looking crews of the defense studies stared long and hard at the regtions that was once again folded into an airne but left without saying a word. Later on, they heard that the senior sisters was expelled by the university. They also heard that Zhao Yuan was indifferent toward the oue and didn¡¯t put on a show of being so touched that he would give himself to the girl. Due to this, the other senior sisters felt their enthusiasm dampened a little. It wasn¡¯t that Zhao Yuan was indifferent. Rather, he had simply picked up a paper by the road. He was simply thinking of teasing Lin Wenxi with it. After all, the kid hadn¡¯t spoken to him for several days.


    Fortunately, the guards came to the conclusion that this had nothing to do with Zhao Yuan. Even so, this was a confidential matter that couldn¡¯t be publicized. Zhao Yuan was also rather happy and unrestrained to have many disappointed senior sisters stop bothering him.


    The information on the reward had spread far and wide. The freshmen and sophomores now had a vested interest in the uing survival contest.

 Chapter 8 (Couldn’t Help Covering the Eyes!) Things Accelerate When People Get Closer

    <h4>Chapter 8 (Couldn¡¯t Help Covering the Eyes!) Things elerate When People Get Closer</h4>


    The group of fujoshi representatives, spearheaded by Shu Xiaoman, had already neglected the ultimate reward. Perhaps, it was better to say that they personally believed that they didn¡¯t have the capability of even getting close to the reward. They put all their focus on discussing how to make Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi into a pair. The verdict was working together to manufacture an exceptionally good opportunity for Zhao Yuan and help him seed.


    However, the girls led by Chen Wanxin were used to watching scheming pce harem dramas. They had a very different idea when it came to the concept of manufacturing an exceptionally good opportunity.


    Thus, Zhao Yuan¡¯s supplies inexplicably disappeared. Wang Xiang, being a person who would rather advance and retreat together, shared his supplies with him. However, Wang Xiang¡¯s supplies disappeared as well. Thus, the members of the dorm discussed and came to the conclusion that everyone, except the weakling Lin Wenxi, would guard Zheng Kai and Lin Wenxi¡¯s life-saving rations in shifts. Sure enough, no one touched Lin Wenxi¡¯s part of the supplies. Lin Wenxi was simply too aloof that the other three came into an understanding that if he was unwilling to do something, they wouldn¡¯t force him either.


    When it waste at night, Zheng Kai stared nkly at the sea of stars in the sky above. This was his best opportunity! Thinking about it, it had been three years since hest saw his father. His father¡¯s words at Green Fields Military Academy rang beside his ears: ¡°Don¡¯te home before establishing yourself in society and bing an elite!¡± Since then, he had heard no news of his hometown.


    Why did his father do this? His father didn¡¯t allow his mother to visit him. Over the past three years, he didn¡¯t even make a single phone call home. He supposed his family didn¡¯t even know if he was dead or alive. Now that he was selected to enter Jifu University, he was merely a hundred miles away from home. If his father knew this, what would he do?


    He felt a stinging sensation pricking his eyes as if he was close to crying. Yet when he saw Chen Wanxin, a smile blossomed on his face.


    ¡°Zheng Kai, I want your rations,¡± Chen Wanxin said, smiling.


    ¡°Sure.¡± Zheng Kai directly handed her his knapsack.


    ¡°You¡¯re not going to ask me what for?¡± Chen Wanxin was a little startled.


    ¡°If you want it, I¡¯ll give it to you. There¡¯s nothing much to it,¡± Zheng Kai replied.


    ¡°I¡¯m menstruating recently, so thanks...¡± Chen Wanxin shed him a lovely smile.


    ¡°Rest well and try to stay warm.¡± Zheng Kai nodded. He wanted to say something but realized that they had nomon topic to talk about. He could only watch as Chen Wanxin walked away.


    It was more than enough for one person to fill his stomach with Lin Wenxi¡¯s rations. Now that there were four of them, it was hard to make sure that they could eat their fill. Lin Wenxi just ate a smaller portion and handed the remaining food to Wang Xiang to divide it between the three of them. Thus, all of their stomachs were only half-filled the next day. The pace of their squad became no different than the pace of the girls¡¯ squad.


    Zhao Yuan¡¯s stolen supplies were indeed Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman¡¯s work just as they were setting off. Everyone was in such boisterous spirits that no one would have foreseen their ssmates stealing from them. Their goal was to force Lin Wenxi to help a little. They didn¡¯t expect Wang Xiang to stir trouble for them. Thus, Zhang An¡¯an confiscated his rations. Once again, they didn¡¯t expect Zheng Kai to be filled with brotherly affection, so they asked Chen Wanxin to make a personal appearance. This resulted in Lin Wenxi himself eating the least and sparing the most for his group members. While the two girls were dejected, they were even more worried about him. They knew that they must allow Zhao Yuan to pick up something tomorrow but this mustn¡¯t be discovered by other people.


    ¡°One puts himself above themon popce, and another can keep sleeping even if Mount Tai copses,¡± Wang Xiang said, helplessly summing up Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan. Lin Wenxi would typically go to bed early to counteract his hunger while Zhao Yuan would run around to look for wild herbs. Meanwhile, Zheng Kai and Wang Xiang were seated opposite each other. Zheng Kai couldn¡¯t help pulling on the weeds growing on the ground and chewing on them for a moment.


    ¡°It¡¯s also An¡¯an who asked for my rations, saying that her period is here. Say, wouldn¡¯t it be nice if girls don¡¯t have a period?¡± Wang Xiang also painfully pulled on the weeds to chew.


    ¡°I have an idea. You can get them pregnant. From a biological perspective...¡± Zheng Kai painfully spat out the weed in his mouth. He saw that Wang Xiang was already hiding inside the tent while enclosing his ears.


    In reality, all they had to do was seek help from the nearby military instructors. However, the premise was that they would have to withdraw from the contest. To seek help from the military instructors no matter what happened during the course of the contest would be considered a withdrawal. There was no exception even for the case when someone had fainted. Jifu University¡¯s admission office had already made this very clear to the military instructors that the things like first aid, medicine, food, tent, and rope were well-prepared in the supplies they provided the students. Moreover, in order to be a student of Jifu University, the students would either have exceptional talent in medicating and nursing or were all-rounders with the innate ability to survive the wild. There were also those who were experts at rock climbing and shifting. Even among those who had no ability at all, some would at least know some poetry and use it as a spiritual fodder. Take for example, Wang Xiang.


    At dawn, a few girls gathered for a discussion. One of them started sobbing. ¡°Can you please let me go?!¡± The sound came from none other than the residence of the four guys in Dorm No. 216. Several military instructors grabbed their weapons and rushed over there. There, they discovered Zhao Yuan grabbing a rabbit by the ears and holding a sharp dagger in his other hand. He ced his hands together and quietly began the religious ceremony to help the soul of the rabbit to find peace. Just as the white knife was about to stab forward and a red knife was going to show up, the rabbit shivered in fright and put its paws together like Zhao Yuan did as it pleaded pitifully.


    There was another rabbit struggling on the ground with its paws tied. Its snow-white fur was stained gray by the soil and the corner of its eyes seemed like it was about to burst forth with tears at any time. Judging from the blood stains on its frontal ws, it seemed that its paws were smashed by a rock until they had goneme. With its eyes brimming with tears, it put its ws together and pleaded pitifully.


    So it was a false rm.


    Shu Xiaoman walked up to them and gave Zhou Nannan a little push. ¡°Hey, are you a manifestation of a rabbit spirit? Why are you asking them to let you go?¡±


    ¡°Let the pair of pitiful rabbits go is like... letting me go. I... I feel bad...¡± Zhou Nannan was sobbing so hard that she was sniveling.


    Zheng Kai and Wang Xiang woke up muddleheaded after being awakened by all the mor. Lin Wenxi¡¯s tent also trembled ever so slightly and before long, he finished neatening his clothes and slowly came out. The three of them were stupefied to see such a scene. When Zheng Kai saw the rabbits, his stomach immediately rumbled. Wang Xiang smacked his lips. Lin Wenxi squatted down to gently caress the rabbit¡¯s injured ws.


    ¡°Oh, you¡¯re not letting me eat the rabbit? You want us to starve to death?¡± Zhao Yuan said cidly.


    ¡°That... That rabbits smell good...¡± Zheng Kai couldn¡¯t help squatting down and feeding more wood to the fire.


    ¡°Zheng Kai, you bastard! You dare eat!¡± Chen Wanxin was the first to step up.


    ¡°Wang Xiang, you dare eat!¡± Zhang An¡¯an put both of her hands on her hips.


    ¡°That... That... Lin Wenxi, you dare eat!¡± Suddenly, Shu Xiaoman said something simr to Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi was rather dumbstruck and his expression turned apathetic. He wrapped a strip of in white cloth around the frontal ws of the rabbit to stop its bleeding. Within seconds, the rabbit immediately limped far, far away and soon disappeared out of their sight.


    ¡°Hey! Lin Wenxi! Did you want the rabbit toe back after a thousand years to pay a debt of gratitude to you?!¡± Wang Xiang rose to his feet, feeling deep regret for the rabbit meat that never made its way into his mouth. He then turned to look at Zhang An¡¯an with a bright smile. ¡°The rabbit is actually a male. It¡¯s still okay for it to pay a debt of gratitude.¡± Zhang An¡¯an gave him a thumbs-up.


    Zhao Yuan clenched the rabbit ears in his hand and scratched his neck with the handle of his dagger with a faint smile. The rabbit started struggling but like usual, Zhao Yuan didn¡¯t even raise his head.


    Lin Wenxi silently walked over to him, intending to snatch the rabbit. Zhao Yuan tossed his knife and swiftly stuffed the rabbit into his embrace. Wearing a teasing smile, he yelled, ¡°Lin Wenxi, take off my clothes if you want this rabbit.¡±


    The hearts of Shu Xiaoman and Zhang An¡¯an blossomed into a flower after seeing this. They immediately quieted down. Chen Wanxi also watched Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi with great interest.


    Lin Wenxi picked up the knife on the ground and gestured it at his wrist. His small face was as red as a tomato. Without needing him to speak, Zhao Yuan immediately took out the rabbit and threw it toward the wild. The rabbit flopped on the ground twice before turning around to sh them a smug smile and disappearing.


    The girls were inevitably disappointed to see that such a hasty conclusion to a good show. Even so, they could see that Lin Wenxi was infuriated. They were afraid that he would take this seriously and do something foolish, so they were also secretly relieved at the turn of events. Zhang An¡¯an gave it a thought and then signaled Shu Xiaoman with her eyes. Thus, the two of them thoughtfully sent some food that they had stolen from Zhao Yuan and Wang Xiang over to Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t even spare them a nce. He handed the food to Wang Xiang and returned to his tent.


    Zhao Yuan followed after Lin Wenxi closely and abruptly threw himself into thetter¡¯s tent. In a moment of careless, he pressed Lin Wenxi to the ground. Lin Wenxi immediately got a whiff of a strange smell from Zhao Yuan¡¯s body. Before he could react, Zhao Yuan was alreadyying on the ground with his jacket off. Inevitably, Lin Wenxi caught a glimpse of his lean figure. He couldn¡¯t help covering his eyes and cry out in fright.


    His rmed cry caused the students outside the tent to once again band together.

 Chapter 9 (Pining Lin Wenxi to the Ground) Adding Fuel to the Fire to Initiate a Farce

    <h4>Chapter 9 (Pining Lin Wenxi to the Ground) Adding Fuel to the Fire to Initiate a Farce</h4>


    Zhao Yuan abruptly pulled onto the drapery in a moment of panic. Pitch-ck darkness shrouded the inside of the tent. He immediately turned on the light.


    The people outside would want nothing more than to break into the tent and see what was going on. However, they were afraid that the delicate Lin Wenxi would easily copse. Thus, all of them transformed into the young imperial guards of the Ming Dynasty, searching for crevices in the tent or pushing open the draped door ever so slightly. Unfortunately, even though it was Wang Xiang who helped Lin Wenxi build the tent, Lin Wenxi had many nuisances helping him reinforce the tent. The tent was built so tightly sealed that not even wind could enter.


    Inside the tent, Lin Wenxi also heard themotion outside. He said nothing but kept his hands over his eyes.


    ¡°Hey, even if it¡¯s a girl who saw me like this, I don¡¯t think she¡¯ll have such a big reaction? Haven¡¯t you gone nude in your upper half?¡± Zhao Yuan asked self-assuredly.


    Lin Wenxi continued to cover his eyes and ignored him.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t open your eyes, I¡¯ll be taking my pants off.¡± Zhao Yuan grinned. He leaned forward and tried to pull away Lin Wenxi¡¯s hands that were covering his eyes. Lin Wenxi once again cried out in rm. He chided Zhao Yuan in a strained voice, saying, ¡°Scram!¡± The people outside the tent roared withughter.


    ¡°Hey! Is there any reason left in this world? Do you know what this is? The rabbit that you let off just now excreted on my body! If I don¡¯t enter your tent and let you smell the stink, I... I¡¯ll be wronging myself!¡± Zhao Yuan brought his chest closer to Lin Wenxi as he spoke. Lin Wenxi panicked when he smelled the exceptional smell but dared not to yell. He could only suppress his hatred and say, ¡°What will it take for you to go out?¡±


    ¡°Wipe it clean for me. Seeing as I¡¯m deprived of a meal of rabbit meat and stinking of piss, shouldn¡¯t you take some responsibility?¡± Zhao Yuan¡¯s chest came even closer to Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi expressed his unwillingness.


    A mor rose outside the tent and Wang Xiang was eventually selected as the representative. He was already opening the tent that he built from the outside when the tide of people pushed him in, causing him to stagger and fall forward. Right then, Zhao Yuan was in the press-up position with both hands supporting his body, restraining himself from approaching Lin Wenxi yet not really approaching him. Unexpectedly, with the weight of several people on him, Zhao Yuany t on Lin Wenxi¡¯s body with a muffled thud.


    Lin Wenxi felt as if the entire sky had darkened before his eyes.


    Everyone soon recovered their senses and scattered one after another. Zhao Yuan climbed up from the ground with great difficulty. Lin Wenxi was so badly crushed under all that weight that he was nearly suffocating. When he saw a slurry, gooey stain on his spotlessly white shirt, he silently sent everyone out and closed the tent door.


    Outside the door, everyone¡¯s attention was drawn to Zhao Yuan¡¯s muscles¡ªhis two nk-like, sturdy pectoral muscles that were like armor, six protruding abdominal muscles that were so well-contoured that they looked as if they were engraved onto his body, and flexed muscles on his arms. His physique wasn¡¯t on therge side but just looked like Michngelo¡¯s David. Its masculine disposition was visible from inside out, making it look like a valiant warrior. Zhao Yuan¡¯s bronze-colored skin was like the burning sun. In a sh, the girls cried out in surprise and drooled over him, unable to control themselves. During the military training, the dorm strictly prohibited the exposure of chests. Thus, not even Wang Xiang saw Zhao Yuan¡¯s beautiful masculinity. He couldn¡¯t stop himself from pumping his fist at Zhao Yuan¡¯s chest. ¡°So you have this sort of inner beauty!¡±


    Under everyone¡¯s intense gazes, Chen Wanxin leisurely walked up to Zhao Yuan and willfully wiped the stain on his chest. She left him with several napkins for him toplete the cleaning and then gracefully walked away while everyone watched enviously. Zheng Kai burned with jealousy and took off his jacket on the spot. He stood in front of Zhao Yuan and showed off his own refined bicipital muscles. He said in a rough voice, ¡°Mine aren¡¯t inferior to yours!¡±


    Zheng Kai¡¯s physique was simply superb. His every muscle was like a finely cut piece of art. Unfortunately, his muscles were a little too big. The girls felt a little intimidated by them instead. Though there were sounds of admiration, it was still no match for the affection they felt for Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Alright, alright. You¡¯re just like a shaved orangutan. What¡¯s there to look at?¡± Chen Wanxin curled her lips. Zheng Kai immediately hung his head dispiritedly and put on his clothes. He then aimed for stripping Wang Xiang¡¯s clothes, but thetter nimbly dodged left and right and caused Zheng Kai to chase him round and round. Just as they were bickering, Lin Wenxi opened the door to his tent. He had already changed into a beige-colored jacket and tossed the sullied jacket to Zhao Yuan. He said in a low voice, ¡°Wash it!¡±


    ¡°Wash it? How do I wash it?¡± Zhao Yuan was troubled. They didn¡¯t carry much water with them and clothes were usually washed at the supply point, where they could instantly dry them. Zhao Yuan gave it some thought. He searched for a point on the map and then hastily ran off without another word.


    ¡°Say, isn¡¯t it the same to wash the jacket when we¡¯re at the supply point? Why must you ask him to wash it now? You can¡¯t even dry it.¡± Chen Wanxin was secretly fuming.


    Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t even spare her a nce and returned to his tent without replying.


    ¡°What a freak,¡± Chen Wanxin said indignantly.


    ¡°Maybe that¡¯s the only clothing he has. See how he changes his clothes only once a day,¡± Shu Xiaoman said with augh.


    ¡°Show me your elbows,¡± Chen Wanxin said.


    Shu Xiaoman raised her hand in confusion. Zhang An¡¯an was already covering her mouth to stifle herughter.


    ¡°You elbows didn¡¯t turn to the opposite direction! How can your words be so unpleasing to the ear!?!¡± Chen Wanxin said coolly. Shu Xiaoman couldn¡¯t helpughing involuntarily.


    The several leaders of the girls¡¯ squad had already set off while Chen Wanxin waited anxiously in ce. By then, most of the tents had already been dismantled. When it was almost noon, Zhao Yuan returned from far away in high spirits while holding Lin Wenxi¡¯s clean clothes in both hands. In the beginning, Lin Wenxi was regretting his decision to send Zhao Yuan away and dy everyone¡¯s time. When he saw Zhao Yuan panting in exhaustion as he ran over, he lowered his head and silently looked at Zhao Yuan¡¯s hair that had gotten drenched from the fog and dew of the mountain. There were also many bloody stains on his calves after getting scratched by gods knew what. His new injuries ovepped with old ones. Moreover, he must have put in quite some effort into capturing the rabbits yesterday. Lin Wenxi returned to his tent and when he came out, he handed Zhao Yuan some Folium Callicarpa Peduncta to stop his bleeding.


    ¡°You recognize Folium Callicarpa Peduncta?¡± Zhao Yuan was astonished.


    ¡°Hm.¡± Lin Wenxi¡¯s expression turned a little disappointed. In his memories, there seemed to be a childhood ymate who taught him how to distinguish Folium Callicarpa Peduncta. The ymate also knew how to capture rabbits. However, it was such a far away time. Everything that was worth being engraved into his memory was cut away by the de of never once seeing each other again.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll be enjoying your favor! Help me paste it on.¡± He lifted his ankle.


    Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°You¡¯re really asking for a beating.¡±


    Zhao Yuanughed heartily and immediately urged everyone else to set off. He pointed at the map, saying that he had found a stream that could lead them directly down the mountain.


    The girls of the same dorm hastily gathered toe up with a countermeasure. Zhao Yuan¡¯s impressive action would certainly draw great appreciation from Lin Wenxi. They discussed what they should do next.


    Shu Xiaoman suddenly lifted her head. ¡°Sister Wanxin, why do you look a little unhappy?¡±


    Zhang An¡¯anughed wickedly. ¡°Looks like someone has put herself in someone else¡¯s shoes.¡±


    While the two girls pestered her, Chen Wanxin looked longingly at the dismantled tents of the guys of Dorm No. 216. She didn¡¯t know where they had gone. Several military instructors were carefully inspecting if the bonfire they left behind hadpletely stopped burning lest an ident urred.


    Since the guys and girls werepeting for a different set of ranking, the guys had been taking good care of Chen Wanxin and the others. They had long surpassed other girls while Zhao Yuan and the rest had been dyed a great deal due to their food and drink issues. No wonder they would so hastily run far away.


    This proved that the guys of Dorm No. 216 weren¡¯t just good at capturing rabbits.

 Chapter 10 (He Has Disappeared) The Clear Creek Follows the Treacherous Flow

    <h4>Chapter 10 (He Has Disappeared) The Clear Creek Follows the Treacherous Flow</h4>


    The group traced the terrain under Wang Xiang¡¯s leadership and studied the topography of the mountain. To their surprise, they discovered that they didn¡¯t have to go down the mountain via the winding road and could instead follow the creek downward. They soon saw another mountain top, where the first supply point was located.


    The flow of the creek was neither fast nor slow. It wasn¡¯t a shallow creek either. Based on the topography of the mountain, Wang Xiang concluded that there couldn¡¯t possibly be a waterfall. Thus, it waspletely safe for them to follow the creek downward. However, there would be strange stones protruding from the sides of the creek every now and then. If they went down from the coastal side, they didn¡¯t know if they would be able to get a direct route.


    A glimpse through the binocrs told them that there were already a significant amount of olive-green silhouettes hidden from the view in the forest beneath the mountain. From the looks of things, there were already people who had reached the bottom.


    The matter could no longer be dyed. Zheng Kai fished out a Swiss Army knife from his knapsack and abruptly shed the bamboo trees next to him with confident familiarity. The bamboo trees copsed to the ground with a sighing sound.


    Wang Xiang and Lin Wenxi both helped to chop off a jade-green bamboo each. Zhao Yuan frowned. ¡°Don¡¯t blindly waste your efforts!¡± He pointed at aparatively aged-looking bamboo. ¡°There¡¯ll be water inside the fresh bamboos. Its cavity won¡¯t be quite empty. Don¡¯t start building a Titanic bamboo raft now, where it won¡¯t even hold the weight of a single person! The old and hollow bamboos are more useful.¡±


    Wang Xiang looked discontented. When he saw the protruding blue veins all over Zheng Kai¡¯s arm and heard the unending sound of bamboos snapping, he took in a deep breath. On the other hand, Lin Wenxi looked unperturbed and looked for bamboos without a word. Zheng Kai couldn¡¯t help shing a look of admiration at Zhao Yuan. Even someone like Zhao Yuan had such a good grasp of logic.


    Afterboring for no less than an hour, Zheng Kai and Zhao Yuan had finished chopping ten bamboos each while Wang Xiang and Lin Wenxi chopped five altogether. Zheng Kai selected eighteen of the best bamboos as material and then began threading ropes with Zhao Yuan. Lin Wenxi and Wang Xiang had no way of intervening at the moment and thus resorted to sitting on the side. Wang Xiang repeatedly studied the map while Lin Wenxi read a book written in some ancientnguage that others had no way of reading with ease.


    Zheng Kai nimbly took out a rope and swiftly turned it over in his hands. Before long, a bamboo raft was already tightly secured. It took less than half an hour for him to finish the construction. After a quick discussion with Zhao Yuan, they gathered the life buoys of the three of them and some useful vacuum seal bags and tied them to the raft after inting them.


    ¡°Mine.¡± Lin Wenxi handed over his own life jacket.


    ¡°Alright, alright. Just one nce at you tells us that you can¡¯t swim,¡± Zhao Yuan said disdainfully. Lin Wenxi put his hands on his hips but didn¡¯t know how to retaliate for that was theoretically the truth.


    Before long, everyone climbed onto the bamboo raft. Zhao Yuan, being meddlesome, erected a meter-long pir on the side. Seeing as Zheng Kai was confused, Zhao Yuan shrugged and said, ¡°You¡¯ll understand whyter.¡±


    Zheng Kai pushed the bamboo raft into the creek while fastening a rope around the trunk of arge tree. He jumped onto the raft, spread his legs, and began to firmly rock the raft. Only then did he waved his hand to signal everyone else to climb onto the raft. Zhao Yuan was the first to jump onto the raft and stood on it very firmly. Lin Wenxi followed Wang Xiang up the raft but the swaying raft caused him to lose his footing. He immediately grabbed onto the pir that Zhao Yuan prepared to stand firm on his feet. Zheng Kai looked at Zhao Yuan and gave him a thumbs-up. He had to give it up to Zhao Yuan!


    Wang Xiang carefully squatted on the raft and pulled on the knot that kept the bamboo raft tied together. He said admiringly, ¡°Zheng Kai, if I¡¯m a girl, I¡¯ll definitely fall in love with you.¡±


    Zheng Kai turned around to look at him with a frown. ¡°Don¡¯t speak. Watch our route carefully, you damned homo!¡± Suddenly, a white light glinted. Wang Xiang jumped in surprise. The habit of the square-shaped military boxing squad caused him to use the first style in a moment of panic¡ªprotecting himself. Unexpectedly, he saw Zheng Kai was only cutting off the rope that tied the raft to the tree, allowing the raft to move downward along with the flow.


    Zheng Kai turned around with a raised eyebrow. ¡°Wang Xiang, are you masturbating?¡± Wang Xiang pursed his lips. ¡°Damn you!¡±


    The water in the creek was incredibly limpid but the flow was very slow. Sure enough, Wang Xiang was very familiar with the map. It was also no wonder the Defense Branch had chosen this ce as the contest venue. To university students with some capabilities, there wasn¡¯t any danger to speak of. Zheng Kai focused on moving the raft with the pole. He took off his jacket to reveal his chest and began singing at the top of his voice. Unfortunately, the lyrics caused Wang Xiang to tremble greatly. ¡°Younger Sister, you sit at the bow of the ship. Brother, I, will walk on the shore...¡±


    When Zhao Yuan saw that Lin Wenxi had his back against Zheng Kai, he couldn¡¯t help raising an eyebrow with a smile. He took off his jacket and stood in front of Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxi shifted to face another direction, not seeing him. Zhao Yuan noticed that Lin Wenxi¡¯s ears were turning faintly red. He couldn¡¯t helpughing even more brightly.


    Zheng Kai heaved a sigh. He cleared his throat and spat phlegm into the water. ¡°Zhao Yuan, don¡¯t act so overfamiliarly with him. I¡¯ve gotten tired. It¡¯s your turn.¡± Zhao Yuan obediently took over the bamboo pole and also navigated the waters incredibly steadily.


    ¡°Sing me a song or two.¡± Zheng Ki stood on the raft with his hands on his hips without even holding onto the railing. He ced his arm around Wang Xiang¡¯s shoulder, frightening thetter so much that he nearly fell into the water. Wang Xiang trembled with fear for a good while, saying, ¡°Little bamboo raft, flow with the current; fish swims, birds sing; both sides of the river are lined with trees; the seedlings are lush and green; thend of fish and rice; little bamboo raft... swims in the painting...¡± When he finished reciting, he trembled as he looked at Zheng Kai and awaited his sentence.


    ¡°You sure know how to pick your song based on the mood. Not bad. Sing me another song. I want it to be rted to the bamboo raft,¡± Zheng Kai ordered.


    Wang Xiang rubbed his head. It took him a good while to stretch his neck and sang, ¡°A little bamboo raft flows along the river, traveling along towering green mountains on both sides of the shore. The mighty eagle spreads its wings and soars through the sky. Even when wind and rain strikes, the burden of revolution weighs heavily on the shoulders. The teachings of the party are etched deeply into the mind...¡±


    Zheng Kai rubbed Wang Xiang¡¯s head. ¡°Keep my teachings deeply ingrained into your mind. I¡¯m not a homo but a straight guy. I like Chen. Wan. Xin!¡±


    Wang Xiang looked at the fair and graceful silhouette on the shore. His eyes glinted as he said, ¡°Do you dare to shout it a louder?¡±


    Zheng Kai¡¯s courage surged. He yelled, ¡°I, Zheng Kai! Like! Chen Wanxin!¡±


    Chen Wanxin¡¯s chiding scream came from a short distance away from the shore. ¡°Zheng Kai, you shameless man!¡± The moment Zheng Kai heard her words, he was like a deting rubber ball. He hung his head and fell into total silence. Zhao Yuan smiled cidly and yelled, ¡°Zheng Kai likes Chen Wanxin very much!¡± Zhang An¡¯an replied equally loudly, ¡°What about you, Zhao Yuan?!¡±


    ¡°Zhao Yuan wants to fight him for the girl!¡± Wang Xiang yelled. Then, he screeched.


    ¡°Wang Xiang, I think you¡¯re the one who wants to snatch Chen Wanxin¡¯s husband,¡± Zhang An¡¯an said.


    ¡°You damned woman!¡± Wang Xiang couldn¡¯t help feeling indignant.


    Zheng Kai once again ced his arm over Wang Xiang¡¯s shoulders. ¡°Brother, do you know your crime yet?¡±


    ¡°I do.¡± Wang Xiang nodded carefully.


    ¡°Are you happy?¡± Zheng Kai asked.


    ¡°I am...¡± Wang Xiang hemmed and hawed.


    ¡°Then recite thirty-eight poems to express your incredible happiness. Or I¡¯ll push you off the raft immediately,¡± Zheng Kai said loudly.


    Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t helpughing after hearing what kind of punishment it was. Zhao Yuan looked at him with a raised eyebrow. Suddenly, he felt something opening up in his chest, giving rise to a proudly singing grand passion.


    ¡°Why should one catch the spring wind in a famous park, when spring flowers blossom throughout the journey...¡±


    ¡°My high horse proudly gallops with the gentle spring breeze; I see all the flowers in Chang¡¯an in a single day...¡±


    ¡°Gon, gon, ospreys cry, crying on the shoal...¡±


    ¡°On the banks the monkeys call incessantly, but my skiff has passed beyond the thousand mountains...¡±


    Unexpectedly, Zheng Kai conscientiously counted that Wang Xiang had recited thirty-seven poems. Wang Xiang had exhausted his entire knowledge bank and cried pitifully, ¡°Earth endures, heaven endures; someday they may both end, while this endless sorrow goes on and on forever!¡± He closed his eyes and raised his butt, waiting for Zheng Kai to send him into the water with a kick.


    The poker face finally spoke.


    ¡°Let me help you with the final poem: Leaving the home with heartyughter aimed at heaven; how could we be mediocre people with ambitions?¡± Lin Wenxi said with a smile. Wang Xiang¡¯s eyes widened as he stared at Zheng Kai bracing himself with the pole with his sweat-drenched chest exposed. He thenughed heartily.


    ¡°Is there such a poem?¡± Zheng Kai said unhappily.


    ¡°There is, there is,¡± Wang Xiang added. He then recited theplete poem by Li Bai. Deep inside, he was surprised as he had never seen Lin Wenxi reciting any sort of verse, song, or poetry. He didn¡¯t expect Lin Wenxi to read such an emotional and apt poem the moment he opened his mouth. He feared he was no match for Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°I¡¯ll let you off just this once, seeing as poker face is putting a word in for you.¡± Zheng Kai cast a sideways look at Lin Wenxi. Suddenly, he bellowed. ¡°Damn! Waterfall! All of you, jump into the water!¡± While speaking, he was already kicking Wang Xiang on the butt and forcing him into the water. Zhao Yuan¡¯s reaction was even faster. He inserted the pole into the crack between stones and supported the bamboo raft. In a sh, he greatly cushioned the falling tendency of the raft. He thennded a great kick at Zheng Kai¡¯s back before gently carrying Lin Wenxi and throwing him next to Zheng Kai. By the time Zhao Yuan wanted to jump off the raft, it was already toote.


    The three of them poked their bodies out of the water that reached their chests. Right then, they saw the creek washing the bamboo raft away and no sign of Zhao Yuan anywhere.

 Chapter 11 (Descending like a God) The Descent of the Hero Increases Heartbeats

    <h4>Chapter 11 (Descending like a God) The Descent of the Hero Increases Heartbeats</h4>


    ¡°Zhao Yuan!¡± Wang Xiang uttered a pained cry. If something bad happened to Zhao Yuan, it would be impossible for him to escape censure. He had studied the map and topography of the mountain very well. There was no way that there would be a waterfall here.


    For a moment, Zheng Kai forgot to release his grasp on Lin Wenxi. Only when Lin Wenxi began struggling that he remembered him and immediately let go. The two of them crawled to the shore. If the waterfall was about ten meters high, the bamboo raft would probably have hit the waters by now. The raft flowed along the current and swiftly disappeared out of sight. Meanwhile, the pool of water under the waterfall was so quiet that it was terrifying.


    Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t help wanting to climb down the waterfall but Zheng Kai was dragging him across the water and hauling him up the shore. He could only stare foolishly at the deep waters underneath as if he was possessed.


    ¡°Climbing is prohibited!¡± The sounding of the horn was swiftly buried under the thunderous booming sound. The helicopter hovered high up in the sky a short distance away let down a ropedder. Two familiar-looking and fully armed guards climbed down thedder and leaped into the waters midair. The three people on the shore heaved sighs of relief. Theyy on their stomachs to watch the guards¡¯ rescue mission, understanding that while this wilderness field training was only just beginning, it was likely already the end for Zhao Yuan. Even so, all was fine as long as Zhao Yuan was safe. This was the thought shared by all three of them. In particr, Wang Xiang was so worried that his tears flowed freely down his face. In his mind, he recalled all sorts of memories with Zhao Yuan since the beginning of university.


    The guards emerged from the surface of the waters. Just as they were about to dive in again, a drenched figure a short distance away hastily climbed out of the waters, staggered, and copsed on the shore. Even so, he was yelling firmly, ¡°It¡¯s not you people who saved me! I still haven¡¯t lost, not yet!¡±


    Wang Xiang enveloped Zheng Kai into a hug and began crying tears of cry. Zheng Kai was so moved that both of his eyes were tinged with the faintest of red but he didn¡¯t forget to say, ¡°You damned homo, don¡¯t hug me.¡± Wang Xiang sped his face and wriggled his body. ¡°I¡¯m going gay. I¡¯ve fallen in love with Zhao Yuan.¡± Zheng Kai and Lin Wenxi were both silent. However, limpid tears were sliding down Lin Wenxi¡¯s cheeks.


    Zhao Yuan was like a hero that had descended from heaven. Several guards that had climbed down the helicopter pointed at the seven to eight warning signs with bold, red letters and sternly reprimanded them. The four of them turned their heads around and saw the words written on the signs: ¡°Waterfall ahead; entry is forbidden.¡± Who knew that they wouldpletely miss the tes while amusing themselves? Fortunately for Zhao Yuan, he wasn¡¯t eliminated. The guards wrote this in their records: ¡°Student Zhao Yuan escaped the pool of water with his own efforts and didn¡¯t ride the helicopter. We¡¯ll consider this friendly support. Even though the four of them ignored the warning signs, we¡¯ll refrain from deducting their points seeing as it¡¯s their first offense.¡±


    It was only then that they learned that their credits would be deducted if they were found not extinguishing the fire they built to cook in the wild and throwing their rubbish everywhere. They swiftly recounted everything that had happened since the beginning of the wilderness training. Besides Zheng Kai spitting phlegm into the water as well as capturing a sparrow and sticking chewing gum onto its body, they didn¡¯t seem to havemitted any mistake. The guards didn¡¯t act ambiguously and showed them the way by pinpointing the direction with a twig. They then pulled an iron chain over the area to blockade this creek as to prevent any more idents.


    Having escaped a great catastrophe with their lives intact, Wang Xiang kept hugging Zhao Yuan while crying throughout their entire journey. Zheng Kai tried yelling and scolding him but he was unable to stop Wang Xiang from unleashing his natural instincts. In the end, he gave it some thought and said solemnly, ¡°You¡¯re f*cking crying over failing to read the map, aren¡¯t you? You might have the ability, but you¡¯re not proficient at all! We¡¯re all not ming you anymore!¡± These words struck right where it hurt. Wang Xiang immediately stopped crying and began smiling throughout the whole journey. It wasn¡¯t until then that Zheng Kai understood that unfortunately, Wang Xiang had been ying the sympathy card. He was very unhappy as he thought about this during the journey. In the end, he grabbed Wang Xiang and threw a few punches at him. To his surprise, Wang Xiang admitted his mistake giddily.


    Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi found Zheng Kai¡¯s words to be rather urate. Wang Xiang was indeed an all-rounder; he was well-versed in poetry, literature, astronomy, geography, and even painting. He could even sing well too. The only thing was that none of his skills was superior to others. For example, when it came to poetry and literature, even Lin Wenxi¡¯s impromptu poem recitation earlier had far surpassed Wang Xiang¡¯s skills. When it came to astronomy, the forgetful Wang Xiang mistook Ursa Major for Taurus simply because the brightest stars of the Taurus constetion, the Alpha Tauri and Beta Tauri, connected with six or seven stars in the sky to form a Y-shape and it shared a resemnce to a funnel. Yet Wang Xiang forgot that Taurus would typically only appear in the winter sky. When it came to geography, their thrilling misadventure earlier had cost all of their trust in him.


    When Zhao Yuan was still confused about direction while struggling in the waters, what shed across his mind wasn¡¯t only the image of his sickly father but also the idental image of Lin Wenxi¡¯s faint smile. What he saw was Lin Wenxi¡¯s beautiful eyes clouded with unceasing tears. This was something he had to keep to himself. Though his behavior was appropriate, he was harboring other thoughts in his mind. His inviting cheeks were as pale as snow, and his gait was graceful and fluid. He looked exactly like the person in books Zhao Yuan met as a child. Zhao Yuan couldn¡¯t help feeling a gentle shiver in his heart.


    ¡°Wenxi, did you worry about me?¡± Zhao Yuan grinned joyfully, patting Lin Wenxi on the shoulders.


    Lin Wenxi stared at him for some time before slowly saying, ¡°Can¡¯t you be a little normal?¡±


    Zhao Yuan was somewhat dumbstruck. He couldn¡¯t help rubbing his chin. ¡°Since when am I not normal?¡±


    Lin Wenxi said only the first half of his sentence before ignoring Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan understood neither the heads nor tails of it but his train of thought was disturbed by the noise Wang Xiang was making. Thus, he was unable to grasp Lin Wenxi¡¯s thoughts in the end.


    It was said that good fortune was sure to follow after one escaped from cmity. The guys of Dorm No. 216 were the first team to arrive.


    It was said that a number of their senior brothers, even their senior sisters, had attempted to build bamboo rafts and flow down the creek. They would either float only a short distance, be surrounded by perils, or give up because the raft making process took too much time. These seniors were nowhere near as good as they were. Not only could they swiftly pinpoint the creek, but they could also build and operate the raft efficiently. Their names were engraved in glittering gold on the honor roll of the first supply point.


    For the first time, Zhao Yuan, Zheng Kai, Lin Wenxi, and Wang Xiang held tight onto each other¡¯s hands and took the lead in setting off for the second depot.


    When Chen Wanxin and her group arrived at the depot and saw the names engraved in gold on the honor roll, it took them a while to recover their senses. Their conclusion was: ¡°True love can make one conquer every obstacle.¡± They vowed to stick close to the guys from now on and thus, made no attempt to rest. They hastily rushed to the next stop.


    There was evidently a clear superiority for the guys when it came to physical strength. Leaving four to five hours ahead of everyone else was enough to help them disappear out of sight. When they came across Zhang Dong, Shu Xiaoman caught hold of his loudspeaker in a moment of desperation and roared, ¡°Listen here, Zheng Kai! Chen Wanxin has fainted! Hurry up and return to the first depot!¡± She then gently pushed Chen Wanxin toward at a dumbstruck Zhang Dong.


    Chen Wanxin made a slight shift with a gentle turn in her footwork. With expectant eyes and a well-timed lovely smile, she returned the loudspeaker to Zhang Dong. Zhang Dong opened his mouth as if there was something he wanted to say but Chen Wanxin raised her lily-white hands and cast him a clouded gaze. She put together her forefinger and middle finger and ced them on her lips, indicating for him to keep quiet. She raised an eyebrow at him.


    Zhang Dong¡¯s sense of righteousness red. ¡°Your team is suspected of viting discipline. Your punishment is to stay put for three hours.¡±


    Chen Wanxin¡¯s pretty face alternated between turning dark and red. She mumbled to herself, ¡°Is he still considered a man?¡±


    While speaking, Zhang Dong lifted the loudspeaker and yelled, ¡°Dorm No. 216, there were girls who vited discipline and are now being penalized. Everything is secure for now. Please swiftly move to the next site.¡±


    The girls hadn¡¯t believed that the loudspeaker would be able to reach the guys considering how capable they were. They were merely trying to joke around. What they didn¡¯t know was that Zhang Dong was one of the person-in-charge of their wilderness training and his loudspeaker was connected to all the security crew. How could the guys of Dorm No. 216 not know?


    Zheng Kai abandoned his knapsack and tried to return dressed in lightweight gear for battle as soon as he heard. When Wang Xiang heard Shu Xiaoman¡¯s voice, he knew Zhang An¡¯an was certainly with her. It was a serious offense to vite discipline. He himself was also worried. Just as he was about to abandon his knapsack, Zhao Yuan said pensively, ¡°Let¡¯s go together.¡± He dragged Lin Wenxi along but thetter refused.


    ¡°Only when the four of us work together, can we take the lead. Trust me. We¡¯re the best team!¡± Zhao Yuan secretly whispered into Lin Wenxi¡¯s ear. He then said in jest, ¡°Of course, you¡¯re not at all useful at the moment.¡±


    Lin Wenxi stood in ce with a faint red coloring his cheeks. ¡°I¡¯m well aware of that, so I don¡¯t dare to slow you all down.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t! It¡¯s so much more interesting with you around. It boosts our morale!¡± Zhao Yuan said, grinning.


    ¡°No harm would be done if contrast doesn¡¯t exist, isn¡¯t that right?¡± Lin Wenxi sneered.


    Zhao Yuan could tell that there was something off about Lin Wenxi¡¯s tone but didn¡¯t know what exactly was wrong. He was determined to drag Lin Wenxi along but thetter shook him off with force. ¡°I wanted to go on my merry way in the first ce.¡±


    ¡°Be careful of a rabbit biting you to death or a mouse taking you away!¡± Zhao Yuan couldn¡¯t help feeling a little angry.


    ¡°Even if that¡¯s the case, it has nothing to do with you!¡± Lin Wenxi said powerfully. He walked off in another direction on his own. Zhao Yuan wanted to go after him but Wang Xiang was already running far in the direction they hade in. He stomped his feet and went after Wang Xiang. Lin Wenxi turned his head ever so slightly, suddenly feeling a tartness in his nose.


    Zhang Dong left behind a military instructor to watch over the three girls. After the instructor kept an eye on them for a little over an hour, three figures showed up from a distance while furiously panting. Other students looked curiously at the people who had gone the wrong way and returned to the first depot, all not understanding what had happened. The three girls were even more astonished, so much so that they couldn¡¯t stop their jaws from falling. ¡°You guys managed to hear that?¡± Shu Xiaoman added at the same time, ¡°Where¡¯s Lin Wenxi?¡±


    ¡°Instructor Zhang¡¯smunication device is connected to all instructors! Not only are you punished, so is he! Go back, the three of you! These girls have vited discipline in deliberately misleading you all to return,¡± the young military instructor said with a frown.


    ¡°Wang Xiang, I¡¯ll have to stay put here for three hours,¡± Zhang An¡¯an said, pouting.


    Chen Wanxin raised three fingers and shed a wide smile at Zhao Yuan. Zheng Kai¡¯s eyes instantly widened with anger and he gave Zhao Yuan a little push.


    Shu Xiaoman continued to ask, ¡°Where¡¯s Wenxi?¡±


    Zhao Yuan could only reply, ¡°He abandoned us.¡±


    Shu Xiaoman was speechless.


    Zhao Yuan said solemnly, ¡°Hm? We came back ourselves to top up our supplies. We estimated that we have seven days¡¯ worth of journey left but we left so hastily that we didn¡¯t bring our shlight and enough water.¡± He then spread his hands, putting on an act of helplessness.


    ¡°Oh, everyone is given the same allocation. If that¡¯s the case,e with me to check the registration record,¡± the military instructor said, smiling.


    ¡°Instructor, even if we didn¡¯t return for this reason, it¡¯s also our freedom toe back. Time is tight and the mission is crucial. Since nothing of consequence happened, why don¡¯t you turn a blind eye, brother? Moreover, you¡¯ve already punished them for enough hours. It¡¯s also the first offense for these three young girls. When ites to punishment, it¡¯s fine if it¡¯s effective. Punishment is a tactic, not the goal. Don¡¯t you agree, brother?¡± Zhao Yuan said conversationally, trying to persuade the military instructor. The intelligent Chen Wanxin immediately yed along and added, ¡°That¡¯s right. We¡¯ve really learned our lesson. We won¡¯t vite disciple again! You were once as young as we were. Who at our age hasn¡¯t made a mistake or two?¡± Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman also yed along by putting on weak and innocent expressions.


    The military instructor¡¯s expression gradually rxed.


    ¡°Besides, we¡¯re all students that Instructor Zhang personally taught. We also want to fight for a better cement so that he can be proud of us. Being his subordinate, you¡¯ll also be benefitting from it! Isn¡¯t mutually-beneficial cooperation the goal of this wilderness training?¡± Zhao Yuan said earnestly.


    The military instructor waved his hand. ¡°That¡¯s enough. It¡¯smendable that you¡¯re admitting your mistake. But remember not to repeat it!¡±


    The girls gathered around him, chattering andughing nonstop. The military instructor grinned and then excused himself.


    Chen Wanxin¡¯s gaze at Zhao Yuan was shrouded in a freshyer of gentleness. Simultaneously, she also found Zheng Kai to be a truly muscr but simple-minded guy. She couldn¡¯t help disliking him even further.

 Chapter 12 (I’ll Hit You with My Mouth) Tricking Zhao Yuan with Just a Word or Two

    <h4>Chapter 12 (I¡¯ll Hit You with My Mouth) Tricking Zhao Yuan with Just a Word or Two</h4>


    Sure enough, their journey to the second depot was much more difficult than getting to the first depot. With the girls stopping by every now and then to poke at the flora, their journey was greatly dyed. Zhao Yuan appeared a little anxious. He handed his knapsack to Wang Xiang and ran ahead of everyone else.


    He was unable to get through to Lin Wenxi on the phone. Several days ago, Zhang Dong had reminded them that the signal was very unstable on the mountain and requested the students to work in teams. Zhao Yuan was currently regretting not making Lin Wenxi stay earlier. The only thing was no one could guess what Lin Wenxi was thinking, with his temper and tendency to speak in half sentences!


    Zhao Yuan ran back to the spot where he separated with Lin Wenxi earlier and then traced him via two different directions for a good ten minutes. When he saw no sign of Lin Wenxi, he couldn¡¯t help feeling somewhat anxious. He cleared his throat and yelled all over the ce. This kid couldn¡¯t have gone on his own despite knowing well that the team couldn¡¯t be separated, could he? Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t seem like the type of character that Wang Xiang was, who would conceal himself and start ying a game of hide and seek.


    ¡°Stop yelling ande down!¡± Zhao Yuan immediately searched for Zhang Dong when he heard thetter¡¯s voice. He found Zhang Dong half kneeling inside a sunken pit that spanned five meters on both sides, trying his best to pinch Lin Wenxi¡¯s philtrum. Lin Wenxiy there with a red and swollen face, and his eyes tightly shut.


    ¡°We need to do CPR! Hurry up ande down!¡± Zhang Dong shouted. When Zhao Yuan climbed three meters down into the pit, he let go his grip and allowed himself to directly plunge downward. Hended in a half-squat. Zhang Dong gave him quick praise before immediately ordering Zhao Yuan to conduct CPR. ¡°Pinch his nose and blow into his mouth. Release his nose when his chest is moving up and down again.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s been so long! Why aren¡¯t you performing CPR on him yourself?!¡± Zhao Yuan was very resentful. Lin Wenxi had evidently fallen into the pit after losing his footing. He had fallen so hard that he stopped breathing. This was such a life-and-death critical moment. Moreover, Zhang Dong wasn¡¯t a shy person. He shouldn¡¯t hesitate at this time.


    ¡°I just found him! Stop the nonsense and start immediately!¡± Zhang Dong chided him sternly.


    Zhao Yuan took in a deep breath and brought his mouth downward without hesitation. He followed Zhang Dong¡¯s instructions to the tee. Sure enough, Lin Wenxi¡¯splexion gradually eased after several attempts. Zhao Yuan finally felt a sense of relief. He inhaled deeply and was about to repeat the resuscitation when he suddenly saw Lin Wenxi opening his eyes. Just as he was about to cry in excitement, he heard a crisp ringing sound and felt a stinging pain on his face. Lin Wenxiy on the ground with his eyes wide open and his feet raised. He was so angry that he was finally breathing again but soon fell unconscious because of his anger.


    ¡°You do it! I don¡¯t want to do it anymore!¡± Zhao Yuan had been the boss of his ssmates ever since he was young with connections to both the light and dark side. Moreover, his father had greatly favored him since he was a child and he had no memories of ever taking a p from anyone. Though he was so ardently rescuing someone, so much so that he himself was gasping, he was unexpectedly suffered Lin Wenxi¡¯s thoughtless revenge.


    Zhang Dong resolutely shook his head. ¡°No, I¡¯m not worthy! I¡¯m not worthy!¡±


    ¡°Hurry up! It¡¯s magnanimous if you perform CPR alone but you¡¯ll be sullying him if you make a series of people perform CPR!¡± Zhang Dong said impatiently, with anger evident on his expression. He pointed at Lin Wenxi. ¡°Will you, Zhao Yuan, really let him die?¡±


    Zhao Yuan advanced toward Lin Wenxi with arge stride. Each time he breathed into Lin Wenxi¡¯s mouth, he would check if thetter was showing signs of waking up lest he suffered an ambush again. Momentster, Lin Wenxi exhaled a long breath. Zhao Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. From the look of things, Lin Wenxi had basically been disqualified.


    To his surprise, Zhang Dong broke off into a run and made a leap. Drawing support from the rattan and rocks that lined the steep sides of the pit, he smoothly climbed up and took off inrge strides.


    ¡°Instructor! How should I exin this?!¡± Zhao Yuan yelled in panic.


    ¡°Yell louder if you don¡¯t want him to continue in this contest.¡± That was all Zhang Dong said. Shortly after, he said to the pager pinned to the end of his shoulder, ¡°Everything is fine in Section C. I¡¯m going to continue patrolling; my coordinates are...¡±


    Zhao Yuan felt as if he had just woke up from a dream. Lin Wenxi was obviously forced to seek help from Zhang Dong... Zhang Dong¡¯s favoritism couldn¡¯t be any more obvious.


    Lin Wenxi looked at Zhao Yuan with a pair of clouded eyes. He seemed a little clear-headed now. He had gone off on his own earlier and walked for a long time before finding himself back at his original location. This repeated, costing him a great amount of time. He thickened his face and followed after another team for some time, but when the members noticed them, he couldn¡¯t bring himself to be so shameless and took an alternate route. He followed the umon marks on the map but unexpectedly found himself stepping on air and falling unconscious.


    Fortunately, the pit wasn¡¯t too deep. Moreover, there was also shrubbery and soft mud underneath, resulting in him only losing his breathing when he fainted. When he woke up for the first time, he felt an icy-cold sensation on his lips. Someone was cing his mouth on his, kissing him. In a moment of panic, he used what little strength he had left to p the person. The second he woke up, regardless of how muddle-headed he was, he also knew that the person that he attacked earlier was the one who rescued him. He just didn¡¯t expect it to be Zhao Yuan.


    Zhao Yuan stared coolly at Lin Wenxi and rubbed his still stinging face with his finger from time to time. He fished out a cigarette and started smoking it with an unhappy expression.


    Lin Wenxi rested for a short while. Then, he turned to look at Zhao Yuan with his typically tranquil expression.


    Zhao Yuan cast him an aloof nce. Seeing as there was no guilt on Lin Wenxi¡¯s face, he couldn¡¯t help reevaluating just how shameless Lin Wenxi was.


    After some time, Lin Wenxi finally said, ¡°Remember to extinguish your cigarette butt or we¡¯ll get our marks deducted.¡±


    Zhao Yuan had been waiting for Lin Wenxi to let down his ego and apologize. He had secretly prepared a magnanimous and righteous speech but also wanted to Lin Wenxi suffer a little. For example, he could get Lin Wenxi to do hisundry, help him massage his shoulders, and the like. He never expected those words out of Lin Wenxi. He resolutely stamped on the cigarette butt to extinguish it and said maliciously, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you be kneeling down and apologizing? Or better yet, kill yourself to express your shame!¡±


    ¡°Then why did you save me?¡± Lin Wenxi said unhurriedly.


    Zhao Yuan exploded in anger. ¡°Then shouldn¡¯t you be apologizing at least?!¡± He had already given up his initial idea and was now settling for second best.


    ¡°When ites to a great favor like life-saving grace, I can only repay it with simrly great favor and not words,¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°I don¡¯t need your thanks but since you¡¯ve pped me, you ought to apologize!¡± Zhao Yuan said fiercely, thinking that he would at least give Lin Wenxi a little fright.


    ¡°Since you don¡¯t want my thanks, then let¡¯s have a fair debate. You kissed me and I pped you. Isn¡¯t that debt settled?¡± Lin Wenxi said, sounding rather confused.


    ¡°You!¡± Zhao Yuan was so upset that he felt the need to express his displeasure, but for a moment, he was left speechless.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi, I owe you from our previous lives!¡± Zhao Yuan couldn¡¯t help stamping his feet.


    ¡°I feel the same,¡± Lin Wenxi said with a faint smile.


    ¡°Compared to how chatty you are today, you¡¯re so much cuter when you close your mouth and don¡¯t speak.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve never been cute and neither do I want to be cute. Then I better speak more in the future.¡±


    ¡°Shut up!¡±


    ¡°What a sunny and cloudless day; the flowers blossom everywhere...¡± Lin Wenxi began to open his mouth and sing.


    Zhao Yuan: ¡°...¡±


    Zhao Yuan held his head in distress. ¡°Lin Wenxi, you... should return to normal. If the others know this is your character, they¡¯ll be scared to death...¡±


    ¡°Beg me then.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m begging you!¡±


    ¡°Kneel down and beg me then.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t push it!¡±


    ¡°Hit me then.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you force my hand!¡±


    ¡°Come. Here¡¯s my face. Hit me then!¡± Lin Wenxi brought his face close to Zhao Yuan.


    In a fit of anger, Zhao Yuan pressed his lips on Lin Wenxi¡¯s face. ¡°You didn¡¯t forbid the use of any tool, did you? I¡¯ll hit you with my mouth. Do you want to give it another go?¡±


    Lin Wenxi stood still as he blushed furiously. He pointed at Zhao Yuan. ¡°You... You hooligan!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m happy about it. Do you want to give it another go?¡± Zhao Yuan was incredibly smug.


    ¡°I¡¯m not going to argue with you. How do we climb up from this ce?¡± Lin Wenxi pointed at the five-meter-deep pit with a nearly seventy-degree inclination. He couldn¡¯t think of a solution at the moment.


    ¡°I won¡¯t have any problem climbing up. Why don¡¯t you beg me?¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    Lin Wenxi pursed his lips and sat down, motionless.


    ¡°Hurry up, won¡¯t you?¡± Zhao Yuan leaned forward toward Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi gave it a good thought before climbing down while bickering continuously with Zhao Yuan. Earlier, he had been somewhat fric as well. A mischievous idea hade to him, prompting him to speak at length. He firmly believed that silence was golden. His father had sternly requested him to be taciturn when, as a child, he was on the cusp of dying. He never would have said those words in the past. He saw that Zhao Yuan had no ns of letting things go and also understood that he had no way of climbing such a steep incline. He pressed his temples. His body suddenly fell backward and fell on the ground.


    Zhao Yuan immediately rushed over to him.

 Chapter 15 (You Don’t Have to Go So Far, Do You…) Sharing a Bed in Autumn

    <h4>Chapter 15 (You Don¡¯t Have to Go So Far, Do You...) Sharing a Bed in Autumn</h4>


    The sun descended in the west, nketing the world in ayer of sunset glow. The golden evening light spilled on a bunch of tired but excited faces. The air seemed to have bepletely still as the autumn scenery stretched on before them. Silence fell over everyone, submerging them in tranquil peace.


    The setting sun returned to the mountain, unveiling curtains to the night and the starry sky that washed away all the daytime mor. Every now and then, autumn insects would make some noise. The breeze passed through the forest and caressed their faces. The air was so fresh that one couldn¡¯t help wanting to take a deep breath. In the dark night without the city lights, young hearts could find those innocent vors of life more easily.


    The group carefully studied the map before deciding on their route for tomorrow. However, they found out that they were still nearly one hundred kilometers away from their second stop. Everyone estimated that they had unexpectedly walked only more than ten kilometers after a full day of frolicking. In a sh, their expressions turned grim.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t we go our separate ways?¡± Zhang An¡¯an asked in a quiet voice. ¡°Guys and girls are ranked separately, after all.¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t abandon Wan Xin,¡± Zheng Kai muttered.


    ¡°Who needs you to take care of me?¡± Chen Wanxin retorted and sat even closer to Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°What about marching at night?¡± Wang Xiang asked, waving the shlight.


    ¡°No, Zhao Yuan¡¯s injuries haven¡¯t been dealt with yet,¡± Chen Wanxin said firmly.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. There¡¯s nothing wrong with me,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    Seeing as no one made any objection, the group set out to tidy up their tents and the like before continuing their journey.


    Wang Xiang, who led the group with a shlight in hand, looked excited. He pointed the beam of the shlight at the middle of the map. It was the only main road that would lead them to the second depot. Their exhaustion was immediately washed away. At that moment, they were focused on getting as far as they could. Even the chatty girls had stopped talking to focus on walking as they daydreamed about how romantic it would be to run into fireflies in early autumn. asionally, Wang Xiang would stop to beam the shlight at his face and deliberately distorted his face but he would frighten no one. Zhang An¡¯an even pinched his face and joked, ¡°Do you think you¡¯re Zheng Kai?¡± Suddenly, Zheng Kai understood what it meant to be shot even though one was lying down in Stephen Chow¡¯s movie.


    When night fell, the girls could no longer endure their exhaustion. Zheng Kai found a sheltered meadow and told everyone to stop and prepare to rest.


    However, a problem immediately cropped up. Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t have a tent.


    ¡°Wenxi, you can join me tonight.¡± Zhao Yuan pitched the tent and stood beside Lin Wenxi calmly. Chen Wanxin was trying to persuade Zhao Yuan to deal with his wounds first when Shu Xiaoman suddenly ran over to them. She leaned down with her arms behind her back and cast Lin Wenxi a clouded gaze. ¡°Wenxi, join me tonight.¡±


    ¡°Wenxi, join me tonight.¡± Zhang An¡¯an, who stood next to Shu Xiaoman, copied her friends¡¯ actions mechanically.


    ¡°Are you two concubines waiting to be the king¡¯s bedtimepanion?¡± Chen Wanxin said unhappily.


    ¡°Wenxi, join me tonight.¡± Wang Xiang was looking at Zhang An¡¯an. The words that left his mouth seemed to carry a different kind of meaning.


    Zheng Kai frowned and left them to patrol again with a shlight in hand.


    Lin Wenxi found some hay by himself and spread some clothes on top of it. He then prepared to go to sleep.


    ¡°Stop teasing him, all of you.¡± Zhao Yuan went over to Lin Wenxi and helped him pack his clothes into his knapsack. Suddenly, Lin Wenxi felt as if he was soaring. He found himself being picked by Zhao Yuan and carried horizontally over to thetter¡¯s tent. This was the legendary princess carry. For as far as Lin Wenxi could remember, this was his first time being held like this. He stared at Zhao Yuan in confusion and saw that Zhao Yuan¡¯s eyes were full of mischief.


    Shu Xiaoman and Zhang An¡¯an kept screeching, causing several tired birds in the forest to cry in protest. They quieted down again. Chen Wanxin stood in ce motionless. In the cover of the night, no one could tell what kind of expression she was wearing.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to go so far, do you...¡± Lin Wenxi said with difficulty.


    ¡°I¡¯m so sleepy that I don¡¯t have the mood to fight you over this. This is the only way for you to follow me obediently. Otherwise, struggle and scream if you have the ability to. You can cry ¡®No! No!¡¯ like a little sissy.¡± Zhao Yuan stared calmly at Lin Wenxi¡¯s blushing face. He leaned over to pinch Lin Wenxi¡¯s nose. ¡°Smells good. Natural aromatherapy, I see. Looks like I¡¯ll have a good sleep tonight.¡±


    For a moment, Lin Wenxi had no way of countering him. The corners of his mouth twitched. Suddenly, he took a bite out of Zhao Yuan¡¯s arm. He bit ruthlessly, leaving an incredibly deep mark on his skin. Zhao Yuan gritted his teeth and suppressed the pain to continue smiling. ¡°Bite a little harder, won¡¯t you? I guarantee you¡¯ll die of shame when you see it in the future.¡±


    Lin Wenxi was still biting Zhao Yuan as he shook his head. He seemed to hear Zhao Yuan¡¯s gentle voice next to his ear, saying, ¡°Be good.¡± Then Zhao Yuan was gone, having entered the tent.


    Shu Xiaoman and Zhang An¡¯an broke out in apuse.


    Shu Xiaoman, Zhang An¡¯an, and Wang Xiang were already sticking straight outside of Zhao Yuan¡¯s tent. Zheng Kai couldn¡¯t help spitting. He went inside his tent, put out the light, and directly covered his ears.


    Not long after, Zhao Yuan lifted the tent curtain and deliberately winked at them. ¡°I can¡¯t take off my clothes. Who among you can help?¡±


    Shu Xiaoman raised her hand and immediately entered the tent. Shortly after, she came out while pouting. ¡°Forget it. Lin Wenxi¡¯s face is so cold that it¡¯s frosted even though everyone¡¯s just ying around. You, don¡¯t act this way.¡± She dragged Zhang An¡¯an away to rest all while looking like she had consumed stimnts. Wang Xiang turned the word ¡°broken sleeve¡± (ng for being gay) in his mouth but in a moment of carelessness, he identally climbed into Zheng Kai¡¯s tent. Before long, everyone heard Wang Xiang screaming like a ughtered pig. The entire tent trembled all over.


    Was that tent shaking (euphemism for people having sex in a tent)? Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman climbed into Zheng Kai¡¯s tent in shock. For a moment, it was so chaotic that Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi actually enjoyed some measure of peace.


    Lin Wenxi sat in silence.


    ¡°Did you think I¡¯m acting like a hooligan again? It¡¯s not like you¡¯re a girl.¡± Zhao Yuany down with a smug look on his face.


    ¡°Are you going to treat your wounds?¡± Lin Wenxi asked serenely.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing serious. Don¡¯t disturb me,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    Lin Wenxi stepped forward to first inspect Zhao Yuan¡¯s knees.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be like this. I¡¯m going to yell. I¡¯ll tell people you¡¯re molesting me.¡± Zhao Yuan posed with both hands hugging his chest, looking like a woman from a decent family who had been vited.


    ¡°Scream then.¡± Lin Wenxi kept going despite the fear he felt, until he eventually felt no fear whatsoever.


    ¡°Wenxi, I¡¯ll have to take off my pants if you want to check my wounds.¡± Zhao Yuan spread his hands out helplessly, while carefully taking in Lin Wenxi¡¯s expression. Sure enough, Lin Wenxi¡¯s face became tinged pink but he forced himself to calm down. ¡°Take them off then.¡±


    ¡°You...¡± Suddenly, Zhao Yuan felt a deep sense of helplessness.


    Zhao Yuan had no choice but to roll his trousers up to his knees. Lin Wenxi saw that the blood on his legs had mostly solidified but therge chunks of broken skin on his knees had been rolled up. Zhao Yuan¡¯s injuries were truly severe. Lin Wenxi then examined Zhao Yuan¡¯s calf and found several sharp cuts. Once again, he would damage Zhao Yuan¡¯s flesh as soon as he touched his skin. He thought for a moment before saying, ¡°Take off your jacket.¡±


    Somewhat stunned, Zhao Yuan ced his hands over his chest. ¡°Lin Wenxi, you weren¡¯t like this before.¡±


    ¡°This time isn¡¯t like other times. Besides, I¡¯ve already seen it all. It¡¯s just so-so,¡± Lin Wenxi said cidly.


    ¡°What do you mean, so-so? Don¡¯t tell me I don¡¯t look good...¡± Zhao Yuanughed like a hooligan.


    Lin Wenxi nodded in response and then added, ¡°Do you want to take it off yourself or should I?¡±


    ¡°You do it.¡± Zhao Yuan remained still.


    The intoxicating breath came close to Zhao Yuan¡¯s neck and he felt a ticklish sensation there. Lin Wenxi was slowly removing Zhao Yuan¡¯s jacket from the waist up. When the motion identally scraped against several bloodied scabs on his body, Zhao Yuan felt so much pain that he frowned.


    Lin Wenxi saw the four blood-red marks that the rope left behind on Zhao Yuan¡¯s shoulder, waist, and abdomen on both sides. Zhao Yuan¡¯s chest was bruised blue and purple. There were also many scratches with bloodied scabs still present. Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t help feeling a stab of pain in his heart and his tears nearly fell again. He wondered just what kind of person Zhao Yuan was, to be able to act like nothing was wrong and walk such a long distance with them even when he was suffering such great pain. Just what kind of experience had he umted over the years? How could his strength and physique be forged without enduring all sorts of training?


    He applied alcohol on Zhao Yuan¡¯s wounds and disinfected them. He slowly cleaned the scabs and painted Merbromin on every wound. He went over every area meticulously so as not to leave any wound untreated. When it came to Zhao Yuan¡¯s knee, he gently cut off the dead skin with a pair of scissors and applied some medicine on it. Thus, all the injuries on Zhao Yuan¡¯s body were taken care of. For a long time, the two of them didn¡¯t speak as Lin Wenxi worked. Finally, a sweat-drenched Lin Wenxi stopped and put everything way. He then went to sleep in one corner of the tent.


    How could Zhao Yuan not notice Lin Wenxi¡¯s gentleness, careful movements, concentration, and worried expression? He couldn¡¯t help feeling a faint ache in his heart. Suddenly, drowsiness swept him and hey down to sleep. However, the sound of Lin Wenxi¡¯s even breathing was like the rolling of thunder. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn¡¯t sleep.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan,¡± Lin Wenxi called for him in a very quiet voice. His eyes were closed and all he could see was his father¡¯s, Lin Ziwei¡¯s, imposing gaze as thetter requested him to finish his cultural studies homework, learn to y the piano, or read all sorts of history books and poetry. Then, it was even more painful memories hidden deep in his consciousness, the kind that he dared not revisit. However, Zhao Yuan being by his side tonight had given him in an iparable sense of security that allowed him to reminisce. He felt as if those memories weren¡¯t as bitter as he had remembered.


    When he graduated high school, a ssmate left a message on hismemorative album: ¡°I wish you can always meet the right person at the right time in your life.¡±


    These words seemed to havee true.


    ¡°Will you be apologizing again?¡± Zhao Yuan leaned over with an incredibly confident look. He carefully took in Lin Wenxi¡¯s face. It would be too much to call Lin Wenxi a beauty, but he had refined and elegant looks. However, he just had to keep all of his emotions buried under his cold face, never easily exposing them. If he was to call Lin Wenxi ordinary, that would be even more inurate. Lin Wenxi had a subtly raised chin, delicate and sharp eyebrows, and a pair ofrge eyes. Though he had single eyelids, it was effective in the sense that the beauty of double eyelids didn¡¯t distract people from his looks. Instead, people would be more drawn to the profound, limpid eyes underneath. While Zhao Yuan was staring into Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes, thetter suddenly rolled his eyes and said unhappily, ¡°You only know how to fake being asleep.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve been faking for half an hour but you¡¯re still not asleep. I got tired of pretending.¡± Zhao Yuan helplessly ced his hands behind his head.


    Lin Wenxi kept quiet.


    Zhao Yuan got up and unzipped the zipper at the top of the tent. Immediately, the image of the clear moon hanging high in the sky emerged in their sights. The stars that dotted the sky dimmed in an instant, leaving only a splendor that traveled thousands of miles to pour into the small tent. The moon was high up against a backdrop of sparse clouds and a clear sky. Lin Wenxi¡¯s heart gradually became clear and tranquil. He smiled faintly and said, ¡°Falling asleep drunk under the same quilt in autumn; traveling hand in hand during the day.¡± Today, whether under the sunset or the splendor of the night, Lin Wenxi truly had a lot that he wished to express.


    ¡°So you¡¯re also a fan of ssical works. You don¡¯t usually reveal your talent, do you?¡± Zhao Yuan helped tuck Lin Wenxi inside the quilt. Lin Wenxi had already sunken into a very tranquil sleep. Zhao Yuan raised his hands that were used as a pillow earlier but stopped less than one-third of a meter away from Lin Wenxi¡¯s soft and smooth face. The moonlight spilled on his face like ayer of silver powder. His eyshes trembled ever so slightly as he made a light noise. The first day he arrived at the dormitory, he ought to be a little angry after seeing someone openly snatching the lower bunk. But why did he calm down after seeing his sky-blue mosquito, sea-blue bed sheets, and indigo quilt? When he saw him turn around with a smile, he had felt a sudden spark of joy.


    ¡°Who was he? Why would he evoke such protective feelings in him?¡±

 Chapter 14 (This Is Pretty Embarrassing) Walking Down the Same Path

    <h4>Chapter 14 (This Is Pretty Embarrassing) Walking Down the Same Path</h4>


    ¡°Dear God! What did I just see?!¡± Shu Xiaoman¡¯s screech caused Zhao Yuan to immediately rx his hand. He said solemnly, ¡°You know how to y along.¡± Lin Wenxi instantly stopped crying and nodded.


    ¡°Damn it! Isn¡¯t it just a little fall? You¡¯re just like a girl, crying that much! I didn¡¯t even say anything!¡± Zhao Yuan said loudly as he rubbed Lin Wenxi¡¯s hair roughly. He also tried weaving a braid with Lin Wenxi¡¯s hair.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it because you¡¯re too fat and squashed me?!¡± Lin Wenxi retorted hatefully.


    ¡°I¡¯m fat? Lin Wenxi, don¡¯t you think your reason is too far-fetched?¡± When Zhao Yuan saw that Lin Wenxi had yet to recover his senses, he had no choice but to add, ¡°I just farted, that¡¯s all. To think you¡¯ll get such a fright that you fell down! How strange!¡±


    Lin Wenxi was momentarily stunned. He suppressed the smile that was threatening to show up on his face and replied, ¡°Good that you know you¡¯re farting!¡±


    Zhao Yuan pretended to wave his fist, acting as if he was about to beat him. Lin Wenxi slowly climbed up and sneered at him.


    Shu Xiaoman was shocked. This was clearly not what had happened just now. Why did they change so drastically? She felt very disappointed. Chen Wanxin looked coldly at them. She could feel that something wasn¡¯t right. She had clearly seen Zhao Yuan stroking Lin Wenxi¡¯s hair with an incredibly gentle expression. Their conversation was also abrupt and absurd. When Zhang An¡¯an noticed Chen Wanxin¡¯s expression, she turned to look at Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi. She pursed her lips into a small smile. ¡°Alright, alright. It¡¯s fine as long as you found him. Zhao Yuan, you seem to be bleeding? Where is the blood flowing from?¡±


    Chen Wanxin couldn¡¯t help feeling a stab of anger. ¡°You still have the mood to joke around!¡± She walked up to Zhao Yuan and carefully examined him. Zheng Kai¡¯s face turned green again.


    Bruises covered Zhao Yuan¡¯s entire body, including his palms and arms. The cloth on his knees was also worn out, revealing the blood that was seeping out from his wounds. He was covered in mud all over and ayer of dust coated his face. When he spoke to the military instructor earlier, he was still the bright and sharp-tongued Zhao Yuan. In such a short period of time, he had turned into this state. Evidently, he had been tormented quite miserably. The me was presumably on Lin Wenxi. However, even though Zhao Yuan would typically her wishes in bickering with Lin Wenxi and bullying him, Zhao Yuan had never truly mistreated Lin Wenxi. Suddenly, Chen Wanxin couldn¡¯t help feeling indignant. She raised her hand and tried to p Lin Wenxi straight across the face.


    ¡°Let¡¯s not hurt our friendship. I didn¡¯t notice that there¡¯s a pit here and tripped Lin Wenxi. Look how hard he stumbled. Of course, I must go down and rescue him,¡± Zhao Yuan said calmly after blocking Chen Wanxin¡¯s hand.


    Only then did Chen Wanxin realize that she had forgotten her manners. She cast Lin Wenxi an angry look and then started helping Zhao Yuan wipe away the blood on his body.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine. We should go now. I¡¯ll take care of it myself when we reach a ce where we can pitch our tents. I don¡¯t want to dy everyone. Reaching the second depot wouldn¡¯t be as easy as reaching the first one,¡± Zhao Yuan said in a partiallymanding tone. Chen Wanxin was speechless. Even though her heart ached for him, she inexplicably went along with his wish.


    Before long, Lin Wenxi began thinking about leaving the team.


    Even though he didn¡¯t understand Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman¡¯s words, he had a vague idea of their meaning. For example, when they asked, ¡°What exactly happened? How did he carry you up?¡± For example, when they asked, ¡°Is he on top or beneath you?¡±


    Zhang An¡¯an opened her mouth wide and looked as if she was chewing something soft. She sweetly raised an eyebrow and the words that left her mouth was as sweet as honeyed glutinous rice. She bared her white and straight teeth as if she was going to gobble Lin Wenxi alive. ¡°Wenxi, what would you be like if you¡¯re a girl? What would you be like?!!¡± Shu Xiaoman reached out to give Lin Wenxi¡¯s cheeks a gentle pinch. ¡°How soft! I really like how it feels! Say, why do you think Zhao Yuan hasn¡¯t pinched your little face yet?¡± She swallowed a little when she was done speaking.


    Lin Wenxi pushed Shu Xiaoman¡¯s hand aside in displeasure. ¡°Please conduct yourself with dignity,¡± he said solemnly.


    Only then did Shu Xiaoman withdraw her hand awkwardly. She whispered into Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s ear, saying, ¡°This is really quite embarrassing.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. You¡¯re unfamiliar now, but you¡¯ll be closeter,¡± Zhang An¡¯an replied with a chuckle. She took Shu Xiaoman¡¯s hand in hers with a little pout. Together, they walked alongside Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi was incredibly uneasy deep inside. He wanted to inspect Zhao Yuan¡¯s injuries but knew that he couldn¡¯t act like Wang Xiang, sometimes jumping up and down while pulling onto Zhao Yuan¡¯s arm and sometimes pinching his neck. More importantly, he couldn¡¯t stand next to Zhao Yuan from the beginning to the end the way Chen Wanxin did. Besides bickering, few words were exchanged between him and Zhao Yuan. It wouldn¡¯t seem right if they suddenly became close. But why did he had to hide this way? What exactly was he hiding?


    The three of them had nothing to say throughout the entire journey and moved forward by following the rest of the team. Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman helped Lin Wenxi clear the weeds and kick off the stones in their path. Wang Xiang walked ahead of them, leading the way. From time to time, he would turn around to look at Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s gentle and sweet demeanor and feel a stab of jealousy. While helping to check the map, Zheng Kai watched Chen Wanxin walking closely beside Zhao Yuan and felt a jab of pain. Now that he had lost the bet, he hadpletely forgotten about the basketball jersey that he was about to lose.


    The sunlight gradually darkened as they journeyed, revealing the glow of sunset instead. Zheng Kai found a clean and safe und to camp on that night.


    The girls cleaned up the site while the guys took charge of pitching the tents. The group stared nkly at the bread and eggs. The only fruit that they had was dried and shriveled persimmon. The rare beef jerky in their possession had beenpletely divided amongst the group that hadn¡¯t taste meat for several days along the way. They had little appetite for what remained of their rations.


    Zheng Kai and Zhao Yuan ate with relish, with thetter looking as if he wasn¡¯t injured at all. Unexpectedly, even Lin Wenxi was able to chew and swallow slowly. Wang Xiang and the others were deeply distressed.


    ¡°Wenxi, why do you look like you¡¯ve never suffered a day in your life?¡± Shu Xiaoman sized Lin Wenxi up, taking in his fair skin. She was even a little envious of hisplexion didn¡¯t even change after going through the furnace that was the military training. More importantly, there was not much change in his skin color. His skin was a little tanned but it wasn¡¯t the scorched kind. His skin was still fair with a pinkish tinge.


    Lin Wenxi gave her a small smile as a way of responding to her question. He picked up a bottle of mineral water and took a sip.


    Seeing this, Zhao Yuan told them that he was going off to find some wild fruits and left on his own. Chen Wanxin followed after him. Without them both, Lin Wenxi could clearly feel the atmosphereing to a standstill. In this boundless wilderness, he felt like he was the only person around. Suddenly, Shu Xiaoman sat next to him. She tilted her head and ced it onto Lin Wenxi¡¯sp. She closed her eyes to rest. ¡°This princess has gotten tired. There¡¯s nothing to eat either. Since you¡¯re a guy, you should carry everything for the girl and do everything for the girl¡¯s sake, not act for the sake of all girls. Lend me yourp for a rest.¡±


    Zhang An¡¯an teased her friend, saying, ¡°This older sister¡¯s thighs are thicker than Wenxi¡¯s. Do you want to switch?¡± Wang Xiang obediently fell onto Zhang An¡¯an but she seized him by the ear, causing him to yelp.


    Shu Xiaoman pursed her lips and adopted a morefortable posture to face Lin Wenxi¡¯s abdomen. She closed her eyes and fell asleep just like that. Lin Wenxi wanted to move, but Shu Xiaoman¡¯s sleeping face against his thighs was so sweet. She wore an imperceptible smile that carried her exhaustion from running around all day. Right then, she was clearly a pitiful yet adorable person. Her fiery temper during the day was extinguished. Lin Wenxi lowered his head to stare at her face for quite some time but had no interest in getting her off him.


    Zheng Kai watched the sunset alone. He lit a cigarette and remained silent for a long time.


    No one knew when a small flower fell on Shu Xiaoman¡¯s forehead. Lin Wenxi chuckled and reached out to help her brush it off. Shu Xiaoman¡¯s long eyshes flickered and she looked up. She asked softly, ¡°You¡¯re not angry anymore?¡±


    Lin Wenxi nodded with a straight face.


    Shu Xiaoman put her cheeks closer to Lin Wenxi, where she could smell his sweat. The odor wasn¡¯t as strong as that on other guys. Neither was it simr to the scent of women¡¯s sweat that was mixed up with cosmetics. Instead, it was an elegant and intoxicating feeling. She didn¡¯t know if it was because of the faint smell of cologne on her hair or the tranquil sounds of chirping birds in the wind. Shu Xiaoman had actually fallen asleep.


    When Shu Xiaoman woke up again, Zhao Yuan had already returned with a bunch of bright red fruits. They were about the size of olives but their kernels were plump. They looked incredibly lovely but each fruit was covered with thorns. Shu Xiaoman studied it carefully before looking at Lin Wenxi. ¡°It looks like you.¡±


    Lin Wenxi caressed his cheek, unexpectedly grasping the meaning of Shu Xiaoman¡¯s words. He took the fruit and buried it in the sand. He repeatedly used his shoes to roll and step on the fruit. When he picked it up again, the fruit looked bright and clean.


    Shu Xiaoman climbed up with a swish and rested both hands on her cheeks. She watched Lin Wenxi use the rainwater collected on the leaves beside him to wash the fruit and rub it dry with paper towel. He pinched the stripes on the skin of the fruit with his fingernails and used his thumb to break it into halves. He then carved out the brown seed inside and gave her half of the flesh.


    ¡°For me?¡± Shu Xiaoman¡¯s voice was very quiet and her face was slightly red. That was because all eyes were on Lin Wenxi, his hands, and then Shu Xiaoman¡¯s face. Zhang An¡¯an couldn¡¯t help shaking her head.


    Wang Xiang, Chen Wanxin, and Zhang An¡¯an were holding their knives, ready to cut the thorns on the fruit. Wang Xiang¡¯s finger was pricked by a thorn, causing a bead of blood to form. Chen Wanxin also had a thorn stabbing her finger and was looking for Zhao Yuan to help her pick it out. However, she froze when she saw Lin Wenxi¡¯s series of quick actions.


    Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t pay attention to everyone¡¯s gazes. Everyone¡¯s fruits were piled under his feet. Wang Xiang felt as if he could squeeze water out of his eyes.


    Zhang An¡¯an pointed at Wang Xiang¡¯s head and said, ¡°If you have a tail now, you can very well shake it off!¡±


    Lin Wenxi¡¯s face twitched. Shu Xiaoman was already eximing that the fruit was delicious. Thus, everyone sat closer and watched Lin Wenxi even more closely. Shu Xiaoman frowned as she ate. ¡°This is the first time since I, this old sir ¨C ah, no, old madam ¨C was born that I¡¯m blushing...¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t this just Cherokee rose? You hicks.¡± Zheng Kai recovered his senses after he was done smoking a few cigarettes on the stone. He looked as if he didn¡¯t know if he shouldugh or cry. Simultaneously, he also felt that something wasn¡¯t quite right and opened his mouth to correct himself. ¡°You city dwellers...¡±


    ¡°Jar of sweets,¡± Lin Wenxi said concisely.


    ¡°Cherokee rose.¡± Zheng Kai corrected him.


    ¡°Oh...¡± Lin Wenxi continued to peel the fruits. Besides bickering with Zhao Yuan, he was no good at dispute of any kind.


    ¡°You¡¯re both right. City dwellers call it the Cherokee rose while country bumpkins, like those in my hometown, call it the jar of sweets.¡± Zhao Yuan leaned over and crouched down. He acted just like Lin Wenxi and soon cleaned a bunch of jar of sweets fruits.


    Lin Wenxi shrugged after hearing his words.

 Chapter 15 (You Don’t Have to Go So Far, Do You…) Sharing a Bed in Autumn

    <h4>Chapter 15 (You Don¡¯t Have to Go So Far, Do You...) Sharing a Bed in Autumn</h4>


    The sun descended in the west, nketing the world in ayer of sunset glow. The golden evening light spilled on a bunch of tired but excited faces. The air seemed to have bepletely still as the autumn scenery stretched on before them. Silence fell over everyone, submerging them in tranquil peace.


    The setting sun returned to the mountain, unveiling curtains to the night and the starry sky that washed away all the daytime mor. Every now and then, autumn insects would make some noise. The breeze passed through the forest and caressed their faces. The air was so fresh that one couldn¡¯t help wanting to take a deep breath. In the dark night without the city lights, young hearts could find those innocent vors of life more easily.


    The group carefully studied the map before deciding on their route for tomorrow. However, they found out that they were still nearly one hundred kilometers away from their second stop. Everyone estimated that they had unexpectedly walked only more than ten kilometers after a full day of frolicking. In a sh, their expressions turned grim.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t we go our separate ways?¡± Zhang An¡¯an asked in a quiet voice. ¡°Guys and girls are ranked separately, after all.¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t abandon Wan Xin,¡± Zheng Kai muttered.


    ¡°Who needs you to take care of me?¡± Chen Wanxin retorted and sat even closer to Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°What about marching at night?¡± Wang Xiang asked, waving the shlight.


    ¡°No, Zhao Yuan¡¯s injuries haven¡¯t been dealt with yet,¡± Chen Wanxin said firmly.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. There¡¯s nothing wrong with me,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    Seeing as no one made any objection, the group set out to tidy up their tents and the like before continuing their journey.


    Wang Xiang, who led the group with a shlight in hand, looked excited. He pointed the beam of the shlight at the middle of the map. It was the only main road that would lead them to the second depot. Their exhaustion was immediately washed away. At that moment, they were focused on getting as far as they could. Even the chatty girls had stopped talking to focus on walking as they daydreamed about how romantic it would be to run into fireflies in early autumn. asionally, Wang Xiang would stop to beam the shlight at his face and deliberately distorted his face but he would frighten no one. Zhang An¡¯an even pinched his face and joked, ¡°Do you think you¡¯re Zheng Kai?¡± Suddenly, Zheng Kai understood what it meant to be shot even though one was lying down in Stephen Chow¡¯s movie.


    When night fell, the girls could no longer endure their exhaustion. Zheng Kai found a sheltered meadow and told everyone to stop and prepare to rest.


    However, a problem immediately cropped up. Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t have a tent.


    ¡°Wenxi, you can join me tonight.¡± Zhao Yuan pitched the tent and stood beside Lin Wenxi calmly. Chen Wanxin was trying to persuade Zhao Yuan to deal with his wounds first when Shu Xiaoman suddenly ran over to them. She leaned down with her arms behind her back and cast Lin Wenxi a clouded gaze. ¡°Wenxi, join me tonight.¡±


    ¡°Wenxi, join me tonight.¡± Zhang An¡¯an, who stood next to Shu Xiaoman, copied her friends¡¯ actions mechanically.


    ¡°Are you two concubines waiting to be the king¡¯s bedtimepanion?¡± Chen Wanxin said unhappily.


    ¡°Wenxi, join me tonight.¡± Wang Xiang was looking at Zhang An¡¯an. The words that left his mouth seemed to carry a different kind of meaning.


    Zheng Kai frowned and left them to patrol again with a shlight in hand.


    Lin Wenxi found some hay by himself and spread some clothes on top of it. He then prepared to go to sleep.


    ¡°Stop teasing him, all of you.¡± Zhao Yuan went over to Lin Wenxi and helped him pack his clothes into his knapsack. Suddenly, Lin Wenxi felt as if he was soaring. He found himself being picked by Zhao Yuan and carried horizontally over to thetter¡¯s tent. This was the legendary princess carry. For as far as Lin Wenxi could remember, this was his first time being held like this. He stared at Zhao Yuan in confusion and saw that Zhao Yuan¡¯s eyes were full of mischief.


    Shu Xiaoman and Zhang An¡¯an kept screeching, causing several tired birds in the forest to cry in protest. They quieted down again. Chen Wanxin stood in ce motionless. In the cover of the night, no one could tell what kind of expression she was wearing.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to go so far, do you...¡± Lin Wenxi said with difficulty.


    ¡°I¡¯m so sleepy that I don¡¯t have the mood to fight you over this. This is the only way for you to follow me obediently. Otherwise, struggle and scream if you have the ability to. You can cry ¡®No! No!¡¯ like a little sissy.¡± Zhao Yuan stared calmly at Lin Wenxi¡¯s blushing face. He leaned over to pinch Lin Wenxi¡¯s nose. ¡°Smells good. Natural aromatherapy, I see. Looks like I¡¯ll have a good sleep tonight.¡±


    For a moment, Lin Wenxi had no way of countering him. The corners of his mouth twitched. Suddenly, he took a bite out of Zhao Yuan¡¯s arm. He bit ruthlessly, leaving an incredibly deep mark on his skin. Zhao Yuan gritted his teeth and suppressed the pain to continue smiling. ¡°Bite a little harder, won¡¯t you? I guarantee you¡¯ll die of shame when you see it in the future.¡±


    Lin Wenxi was still biting Zhao Yuan as he shook his head. He seemed to hear Zhao Yuan¡¯s gentle voice next to his ear, saying, ¡°Be good.¡± Then Zhao Yuan was gone, having entered the tent.


    Shu Xiaoman and Zhang An¡¯an broke out in apuse.


    Shu Xiaoman, Zhang An¡¯an, and Wang Xiang were already sticking straight outside of Zhao Yuan¡¯s tent. Zheng Kai couldn¡¯t help spitting. He went inside his tent, put out the light, and directly covered his ears.


    Not long after, Zhao Yuan lifted the tent curtain and deliberately winked at them. ¡°I can¡¯t take off my clothes. Who among you can help?¡±


    Shu Xiaoman raised her hand and immediately entered the tent. Shortly after, she came out while pouting. ¡°Forget it. Lin Wenxi¡¯s face is so cold that it¡¯s frosted even though everyone¡¯s just ying around. You, don¡¯t act this way.¡± She dragged Zhang An¡¯an away to rest all while looking like she had consumed stimnts. Wang Xiang turned the word ¡°broken sleeve¡± (ng for being gay) in his mouth but in a moment of carelessness, he identally climbed into Zheng Kai¡¯s tent. Before long, everyone heard Wang Xiang screaming like a ughtered pig. The entire tent trembled all over.


    Was that tent shaking (euphemism for people having sex in a tent)? Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman climbed into Zheng Kai¡¯s tent in shock. For a moment, it was so chaotic that Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi actually enjoyed some measure of peace.


    Lin Wenxi sat in silence.


    ¡°Did you think I¡¯m acting like a hooligan again? It¡¯s not like you¡¯re a girl.¡± Zhao Yuany down with a smug look on his face.


    ¡°Are you going to treat your wounds?¡± Lin Wenxi asked serenely.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing serious. Don¡¯t disturb me,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    Lin Wenxi stepped forward to first inspect Zhao Yuan¡¯s knees.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be like this. I¡¯m going to yell. I¡¯ll tell people you¡¯re molesting me.¡± Zhao Yuan posed with both hands hugging his chest, looking like a woman from a decent family who had been vited.


    ¡°Scream then.¡± Lin Wenxi kept going despite the fear he felt, until he eventually felt no fear whatsoever.


    ¡°Wenxi, I¡¯ll have to take off my pants if you want to check my wounds.¡± Zhao Yuan spread his hands out helplessly, while carefully taking in Lin Wenxi¡¯s expression. Sure enough, Lin Wenxi¡¯s face became tinged pink but he forced himself to calm down. ¡°Take them off then.¡±


    ¡°You...¡± Suddenly, Zhao Yuan felt a deep sense of helplessness.


    Zhao Yuan had no choice but to roll his trousers up to his knees. Lin Wenxi saw that the blood on his legs had mostly solidified but therge chunks of broken skin on his knees had been rolled up. Zhao Yuan¡¯s injuries were truly severe. Lin Wenxi then examined Zhao Yuan¡¯s calf and found several sharp cuts. Once again, he would damage Zhao Yuan¡¯s flesh as soon as he touched his skin. He thought for a moment before saying, ¡°Take off your jacket.¡±


    Somewhat stunned, Zhao Yuan ced his hands over his chest. ¡°Lin Wenxi, you weren¡¯t like this before.¡±


    ¡°This time isn¡¯t like other times. Besides, I¡¯ve already seen it all. It¡¯s just so-so,¡± Lin Wenxi said cidly.


    ¡°What do you mean, so-so? Don¡¯t tell me I don¡¯t look good...¡± Zhao Yuanughed like a hooligan.


    Lin Wenxi nodded in response and then added, ¡°Do you want to take it off yourself or should I?¡±


    ¡°You do it.¡± Zhao Yuan remained still.


    The intoxicating breath came close to Zhao Yuan¡¯s neck and he felt a ticklish sensation there. Lin Wenxi was slowly removing Zhao Yuan¡¯s jacket from the waist up. When the motion identally scraped against several bloodied scabs on his body, Zhao Yuan felt so much pain that he frowned.


    Lin Wenxi saw the four blood-red marks that the rope left behind on Zhao Yuan¡¯s shoulder, waist, and abdomen on both sides. Zhao Yuan¡¯s chest was bruised blue and purple. There were also many scratches with bloodied scabs still present. Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t help feeling a stab of pain in his heart and his tears nearly fell again. He wondered just what kind of person Zhao Yuan was, to be able to act like nothing was wrong and walk such a long distance with them even when he was suffering such great pain. Just what kind of experience had he umted over the years? How could his strength and physique be forged without enduring all sorts of training?


    He applied alcohol on Zhao Yuan¡¯s wounds and disinfected them. He slowly cleaned the scabs and painted Merbromin on every wound. He went over every area meticulously so as not to leave any wound untreated. When it came to Zhao Yuan¡¯s knee, he gently cut off the dead skin with a pair of scissors and applied some medicine on it. Thus, all the injuries on Zhao Yuan¡¯s body were taken care of. For a long time, the two of them didn¡¯t speak as Lin Wenxi worked. Finally, a sweat-drenched Lin Wenxi stopped and put everything way. He then went to sleep in one corner of the tent.


    How could Zhao Yuan not notice Lin Wenxi¡¯s gentleness, careful movements, concentration, and worried expression? He couldn¡¯t help feeling a faint ache in his heart. Suddenly, drowsiness swept him and hey down to sleep. However, the sound of Lin Wenxi¡¯s even breathing was like the rolling of thunder. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn¡¯t sleep.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan,¡± Lin Wenxi called for him in a very quiet voice. His eyes were closed and all he could see was his father¡¯s, Lin Ziwei¡¯s, imposing gaze as thetter requested him to finish his cultural studies homework, learn to y the piano, or read all sorts of history books and poetry. Then, it was even more painful memories hidden deep in his consciousness, the kind that he dared not revisit. However, Zhao Yuan being by his side tonight had given him in an iparable sense of security that allowed him to reminisce. He felt as if those memories weren¡¯t as bitter as he had remembered.


    When he graduated high school, a ssmate left a message on hismemorative album: ¡°I wish you can always meet the right person at the right time in your life.¡±


    These words seemed to havee true.


    ¡°Will you be apologizing again?¡± Zhao Yuan leaned over with an incredibly confident look. He carefully took in Lin Wenxi¡¯s face. It would be too much to call Lin Wenxi a beauty, but he had refined and elegant looks. However, he just had to keep all of his emotions buried under his cold face, never easily exposing them. If he was to call Lin Wenxi ordinary, that would be even more inurate. Lin Wenxi had a subtly raised chin, delicate and sharp eyebrows, and a pair ofrge eyes. Though he had single eyelids, it was effective in the sense that the beauty of double eyelids didn¡¯t distract people from his looks. Instead, people would be more drawn to the profound, limpid eyes underneath. While Zhao Yuan was staring into Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes, thetter suddenly rolled his eyes and said unhappily, ¡°You only know how to fake being asleep.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve been faking for half an hour but you¡¯re still not asleep. I got tired of pretending.¡± Zhao Yuan helplessly ced his hands behind his head.


    Lin Wenxi kept quiet.


    Zhao Yuan got up and unzipped the zipper at the top of the tent. Immediately, the image of the clear moon hanging high in the sky emerged in their sights. The stars that dotted the sky dimmed in an instant, leaving only a splendor that traveled thousands of miles to pour into the small tent. The moon was high up against a backdrop of sparse clouds and a clear sky. Lin Wenxi¡¯s heart gradually became clear and tranquil. He smiled faintly and said, ¡°Falling asleep drunk under the same quilt in autumn; traveling hand in hand during the day.¡± Today, whether under the sunset or the splendor of the night, Lin Wenxi truly had a lot that he wished to express.


    ¡°So you¡¯re also a fan of ssical works. You don¡¯t usually reveal your talent, do you?¡± Zhao Yuan helped tuck Lin Wenxi inside the quilt. Lin Wenxi had already sunken into a very tranquil sleep. Zhao Yuan raised his hands that were used as a pillow earlier but stopped less than one-third of a meter away from Lin Wenxi¡¯s soft and smooth face. The moonlight spilled on his face like ayer of silver powder. His eyshes trembled ever so slightly as he made a light noise. The first day he arrived at the dormitory, he ought to be a little angry after seeing someone openly snatching the lower bunk. But why did he calm down after seeing his sky-blue mosquito, sea-blue bed sheets, and indigo quilt? When he saw him turn around with a smile, he had felt a sudden spark of joy.


    ¡°Who was he? Why would he evoke such protective feelings in him?¡±

 Chapter 16 (Screaming Outside the Tent) Work Together to Defeat the Naughty Guys

    <h4>Chapter 16 (Screaming Outside the Tent) Work Together to Defeat the Naughty Guys</h4>


    The next morning, when Zhao Yuan got out of his tent, he discovered something unusual. ¡°Howe there are two holes in the tents? Did some mousese to gnaw on the tent? But these holes are about one meter above the ground? How could mouses do that?¡±


    He deliberately remained silent about that, and made a fire to cook noodles for everyone. The team had enough noodles but did not have enough sauce. In the end, among the seven bowls of noodles he cooked, only five had sauce. He went to ask Lin Wenxi to get up, but he still looked sleepy. He wiggled a little with a meaningful smile on his face.


    ¡°You brat...¡± Zhao Yuan thought and pinched his ear. Lin Wenxi finally got up while smiling.


    After that, Zhao Yuan went to the other tents to wake up the others. Soon enough, nearly everyone got out of their tents and ruched toward the noodles. Although Chen Wanxin was a girl, she showed a raw energy like a man and quickly finished her bowl of noodles. In the meantime, Lin Wenxi was still slowly enjoying his noodles with some pickles on top.


    When the other two girls wearily crawled out of their tent with dark circles around their eyes, they were disappointed to find out that there were only two bowls of in noodles left for them.


    ¡°Did you two sleep wellst night?¡± asked Zhao Yuan. He smiled slightly and added, ¡°We don¡¯t have enough sauce for everyone, so I hope you can enjoy your in noodles. By the way, didn¡¯t you get up quite early before?¡±


    ¡°Uhm, there were some very noisy bugs outside our tentst night. We¡¯ll choose a good spot to put up our tent and have a good sleep tonight,¡± Shu Xiaoman said while massaging her waist. It was clearly not easy for her to swallow those in noodles. Zhang An¡¯an twitched her face, trying her best to force a smile. She whined a little and then snatched Lin Wenxi¡¯s bowl from his hands to pour half of his soup into her bowl. Upon seeing that, Lin Wenxi put down his chopsticks. Zhang An¡¯an smiled and said, ¡°Ah, you don¡¯t want to eat anymore?¡± With these words, she poured all his noodles and soup into her bowl. She even used her chopsticks to stir the food in his bowl to further disgust him.


    ¡°What? Do you think that you¡¯re eating some two-vor hot pot?¡± Wang Xiang twitched his mouth and said somewhat grumpily.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Zhang An¡¯an nodded and replied.


    Wang Xiang gave his bowl to her and said, ¡°Add one more vor to it. I still have some soup left in my bowl.¡±


    Zhang An¡¯an was irritated. After chasing after Wang Xiang quite a long time, she finally tucked his head into a backpack to punish him.


    After the meal, they continued their journey. At about 10 p.m., they put up tents to take a rest again.


    Before going to sleep, Zhao Yuan gave Lin Wenxi a ck ball pen and two pieces of oval paper tes while saying, ¡°Here you are. Draw my eyes on them.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Lin Wenxi asked, his eyes widened in surprise.


    ¡°Don¡¯t ask me why I know that you can draw. Didn¡¯t you remember that I used to search all your closets and cases for facial masks?¡±


    ¡°Um,¡± Lin Wenxi replied nonchntly.


    ¡°Come on, draw my eyes on them as fast as you can.¡± Zhao Yuan pressed the papers and the pen into Lin Wenxi¡¯s hands. Lin Wenxi picked up the pen and asked Zhao Yuan to sit still. After quite a long time, Zhao Yuan felt that his legs became numb, but Lin Wenxi was still busy drawing on the papers. He could not help but ask while panting, ¡°How long do I have to sit still?¡±


    After a while, Lin Wenxi replied slowly, ¡°Uhm, I just spend some time enjoy it.¡±


    ...


    Zhao Yuan swallowed hard and then snatched the paper tes from Lin Wenxi. The eyes looked sharp and shiny, but they apparently did not look like Zhao Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°They don¡¯t look like my eyes,¡± Zhao Yuan said confusedly as he thought, ¡°I¡¯ve sat still and kept my eyes widely opened for such a long time. Did I do anything wrong?¡±


    ¡°Uhm, it¡¯s dark here. I can¡¯t see your eyes clearly, so I just drew what I wanted.¡±


    ¡°Lin Wenxi... Lin Wenxi...¡± Zhao Yuan was stuck for words. He had managed to keep still for such a long time for Lin Wenxi, but Lin Wenxi had just drawn something else without even telling him. He wondered, ¡°Can I cut off all my meridians to explode myself together with this Lin Wenxi like the guys in kung fu fiction did?¡±


    Right at this moment, Lin Wenxi took out a red pen and added something to the paper tes. A momentter, Zhao Yuan found out that the eyes were filled with blood and looked spooky and dreadful.


    ¡°You want to y, so let¡¯s y hard,¡± Lin Wenxi smiled slightly and nced at the two holes in the tent. Upon seeing that, Zhao Yuan made a thumb up sign to Lin Wenxi.


    Late at night, someone screamed outside their tent and woke up nearly all the people around this ce, including the young military instructor who was put in charge of the students¡¯ safety. The military instructor crept all the way from his tent toward where the sound came from. When he was near to the ce, he saw students in the neighboring tents alle out to hold two girls. When he got closer, he discovered that the two girls were trembling with fear while pointing their fingers at Zhao Yuan¡¯s tent. One of them mumbled, ¡°Oh my goodness! Eyes, big eyes, bleeding big eyes!¡±


    No one could hear a sound from the tent.


    ¡°Oh no! Did something terrible happen to the students in the tent?¡± With this in mind, the military instructor immediately approached the tent from its back, opened it and turned on his magnesium shlight. The next moment, he saw Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi sleep soundly together with their ears stuffed with cotton balls. Zhao Yuan smacked his lips in the sleep and then turned around, putting his thigh on Lin Wenxi¡¯s waist.


    The military instructor asked the students what was going on and then checked the two boys in the tent again to make sure that they were alright. After that, he left the ce. The two girls who had screamed just now were Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman. They had nned to steal a nce at Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi tonight. Although now they did not want to get close to their tent anymore, they could not help but wonder why they had stuffed their ears with cotton balls. They also remembered that Zhao Yuan seemed to be smiling when the shlight lit up his face.


    Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi remained silent for quite a long time inside the dark tent after the incident. When everything quieted down outside, Lin Wenxi suddenly pinched Zhao Yuan¡¯s arm and asked, ¡°Did you feel happy by putting your thigh on my waist?¡±


    Zhao Yuan remained still.


    ¡°Stop pretending that you¡¯re fast asleep. You really think that I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re doing! Your thigh is so heavy. Get off me!¡± Lin Wenxi continued to pinch Zhao Yuan¡¯s arm.


    ¡°Ah, stop. You¡¯ll make wounds open again,¡± Zhao Yuan contorted his face and whined.


    Lin Wenxi immediately drew back his hand and mocked, ¡°You acted well!¡±


    Zhao Yuan grinned slyly, and then they slept face-to-face for the rest of the night.


    The next day was a nice sunny day, but all the food they had now was bread. Wang Xiang looked at the map and told the team that they still had at least 80 kilometers to walk. ¡°If we continue to travel with our girlfriends, we¡¯ll need at least 3 or 4 days. During the past few days, about 10 people had surpassed us. And all of them were single and energetic boys,¡± said Wang Xiang.


    ¡°What? Who¡¯s your girlfriend?¡± Zhang An¡¯an pinched Wang Xiang¡¯s arm and then she suddenly noticed that there was a bruise on Zhao Yuan¡¯s arm. She turned to look at Lin Wenxi and teased, ¡°Wenxi, you don¡¯t need to pinch and torture Zhao Yuan like that, even if you really feel hurt.¡±


    Upon hearing that, Chen Wanxin immediately approached Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan rolled his sleeves down and said smilingly, ¡°I think that it was you who wanted to be tortured by him.¡±


    Zhang An¡¯an thought of what she had experiencedst night. She felt scared and was rendered speechless.


    They continued to walk until noon. When they reached the end of the road, they saw only a long-neglected riverbank ahead, which seemed to stretch toward the end of the sky. It seemed to have stood there for years and it looked out of repair. Under the clear blue sky, the riverbank was surrounded by withered and yellow reeds. Some birds flew out and back into the reeds now and then. The scenery was good, but the team was too hungry to enjoy it.


    The girls were discouraged upon seeing the riverbank, as they could not spot a single tree ahead. Upon thinking that they had to spend the rest of the day walking under the scorching sun, they felt feeble and copsed to the ground.


    ¡°No matter how much I hate it, I have to swallow this dry bread for my lunch,¡± Zhang An¡¯an thought and looked sad. She would have given up this journey a long time ago if she had not been so intrigued by some of her teammates. She had a th body (Wang Xiang said that she was a little fat) and felt really tired after hiking day after day. She and the other two girls were lying down in a shade and chatting now while Zhao Yuan and Zheng Kai went down into the river. No one knew what they were doing out there.


    ¡°You¡¯re really good at it. You got five fish.¡± Half an hourter, they saw Zheng Kai and Zhao Yuan walk back to them. They carried an earthen jar which was filled with some silvery things. All the team members came over to surround them, except Lin Wenxi. They were surprised to find out that Zheng Kai and Zhao Yuan had caught 7 or 8 living fish in such a short time. They looked so hungry as if they were about to eat those fish alive. When they asked Zhao Yuan how did they catch these fish, he just replied, ¡°I caught them with just a hook and some angleworms.¡±


    They made fire, hung a wok over it and then poured some oil into the wok. Zhao Yuan rubbed each fish with his hands before putting it into the wok. He saidpassionately, ¡°s, these poor things. They¡¯re so simple and naive.¡±


    Wang Xiang twitched his mouth and mocked, ¡°Look at the merciless face of you, Zhao Yuan. You¡¯re nemesis of simple and native things, such as the fish and the wide gooses.¡±


    The girls smiled meaningfully upon hearing that, but Zhao Yuan and Zheng Kai just confusedly looked at each other.


    Wang Xiang waved his hands and added, ¡°It¡¯s really hard tomunicate with rough guys.¡±


    Zhao Yuan lifted up his head and shouted to Lin Wenxi, who had remained silent all this while. ¡°Hey, thepassionate guy, if you don¡¯te to save the fish now, they won¡¯t have the chance to transform into beautiful girls to repay your kindness in your next life.¡±


    ¡°Just like Wang Xiang said, the moment these simple and naive things met you, they were doomed to die. Why do I bother saving them?¡± To everyone¡¯s surprise, Lin Wenxi talked back to Zhao Yuan. He had seldom retorted Zhao Yuan before.


    Zhang An¡¯an asked smilingly, ¡°Wenxi, do you mind telling us whether you¡¯re a fish or a wide goose?¡±


    Lin Wenxi replied, ¡°¡®Wide gooses flew into the clouds, and white fish swam in the water.¡¯ I stand on the ground. I¡¯m a man.¡±


    Shu Xiaoman added smilingly, ¡°The line after ¡®Wide gooses flew into the clouds, and white fish swam in the water¡¯ is ¡®This sadness could not be told to anyone¡¯. So, Wenxi, why are you sad?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s sad because the fish is so delicious but Zhao Yuan didn¡¯t just cook it for him. s, let¡¯s leave all the fish for Wenxi. Zhao Yuan cooked the fish for him,¡± Wang Xiangughed and said.


    ¡°Okay, you don¡¯t want to eat the fish. I see,¡± Zhao Yuan said smilingly when the smell of the fish made everyone¡¯s mouth water.


    When the other team members chatted, Zhao Yuan began cooking the fish. He added some dry twigs to the fire now and then and added salt and different sauce to the fish at the proper time. He fried the fish from side to side and sent out tantalizing smell to the crowd. Before taking the fish out of the wok, he even added some wild vegetables that no one knew where did he get them. He skillfully finished the process, attracting everyone¡¯s attention.


    The entire team was excited as they had not eaten meat for days. When Zhao Yuan began to give the fish to the team members, Wang Xiang even stuck out his tongue like a dog, waiting eagerly for the food. However, Zhao Yuan gave everyone on the team a fried fish except him. Zhang An¡¯an looked at Wang Xiang and frowned. ¡°Hey, why don¡¯t you wag your tail?¡±


    Zhao Yuan pointed at a fish who was still struggling and wiggling in the earthen jar and said to Wang Xiang, ¡°It¡¯s yours.¡±


    ¡°Brother Yuan, how can you...¡± Wang Xiang rubbed his hands together and swallowed hard.


    ¡°Some people just like to use their mouths to talk instead of eating. You can speak as much as you want now,¡± Zhao Yuan said and then excitedly stuffed a chunk of fish into his mouth in front of Wang Xiang. Lin Wenxi could not help but curl his lips into a smile upon seeing that. Zhao Yuan was pleased.

 Chapter 17 (A Good Line of a Poem) Wide Gooses Flew into the Clouds

    <h4>Chapter 17 (A Good Line of a Poem) Wide Gooses Flew into the Clouds</h4>


    Wang Xiang grumbled to Zheng Kai, but Zheng Kaipletely ignored him. He just kept eating while saying to Zhao Yuan, ¡°Hey, bro, I want one more fish.¡±


    Wang Xiang went to sit down beside Chen Wanxin and said, ¡°Wanxin, could you please...¡±


    Chen Wanxin exchanged a look with Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan spread out his hands and said, ¡°I¡¯m too tired to cook now.¡±


    After a moment of thought, Wang Xiang went to beg Lin Wenxi. ¡°Brother Wenxi, it¡¯s my bad. I¡¯m sorry. Please help me.¡±


    Lin Wenxi pretended to misunderstand him and said, ¡°But I don¡¯t know how to fry a fish. How can I help you?¡± While saying this, he carefully picked the fish bones out before putting the fish into his mouth.


    Wang Xiang bashfully whispered something into Lin Wenxi¡¯s ear. The next moment, Lin Wenxi stopped eating and looked at Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°If you give me a sweet smile, I¡¯ll cook the fish.¡± Zhao Yuan rubbed his hands gleefully and gave Lin Wenxi a covetous stare.


    ¡°Stop talking such nonsense.¡± Lin Wenxi smiled and then pretended to be angry. Zhao Yuan was excited upon seeing that. He heated the wok and poured some oil into it. A momentter, a fried fish was ready. Upon getting the fish, Wang Xiang was nearly moved to tears.


    When Lin Wenxi put his fried fish into his mouth, he was stunned and thought, ¡°This taste is so familiar, but I¡¯m sure that I¡¯ve never met this Zhao Yuan before. Did I meet this guy in my previous life or something? Howe every now and then I¡¯ll feel that I¡¯ve met him before? I clearly remember this taste, but I just can¡¯t remember when and where I tasted something like this before.¡±


    For the girls on the team, they would have nevere this far without the help from the boys. The boys often helped them carry their backpacks. They would even coax the girls into giving backpacks to them sometimes. The girls also had never expected to enjoy such tasty food cooked by a boy. When they eating the fish, they could not help but feel grateful for the boys¡¯ help from the bottom of their hearts. The boys felt grateful to travel with these girls too. With them being around, they had a lot of fun andfort all along the way. Zhang An¡¯an would stitch up their broken clothes. Chen Wanxin and Shu Xiaoman would fold their clothes neatly and manage to fix them into their backpacks every day. With the help of the girls, the team remained neatly-dressed all these days.


    After having such a nice meal, the team traveled fast in the afternoon. They went fishing again and caught several simple-minded fish from the river for dinner. After that, they never met such simple and naive fish again. When they were tired of walking in the afternoon, they ran into several students who got burned by the heat of the sun. The girls teased them and felt excited to continue their travel. The team walked along the main stream of the river in the beginning and then took a turn into mountains. After that, they walked along a small tributary river for two hours. In thete afternoon, they saw some smoke curling up from kitchen chimneys ahead. It was a mountain vige. They walked along a meandering path toward the vige. The grass beside the path had all turned yellow in the autumn. Gradually, they could see the houses in the vige clearly. They were built with blue-green bricks and ck roof tiles. Bamboo fences were built around every house. It was a quaint and peaceful vige.


    When they reached the vige, the vigers receive them warmly.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to thank me anymore. Some soldiers came here and told us everything. You¡¯re students and this trip is part of your military training. They told us to take a good care of you.¡± The viger who was in charge of receiving them said cordially and then treated them with all kinds of beans, dried peppers and wild fruits. The viger even wanted to cook the rooster who crowed every day at sunrise to treat the students.


    Zheng Kai pointed at a group of hens in the viger¡¯s yard and said, ¡°From a biological perspective, the hens would feel sad upon knowing that their spouse died identally.


    Wang Xiang added, ¡°¡®What¡¯s love? We¡¯ll remain in love until death tears us apart.¡¯ From a biological perspective, once the cock dies, the hens may kill themselves for love. So please don¡¯t kill the rooster.¡± The viger was stunned upon hearing that and said, ¡°You people from the city are really strange...¡±


    The viger could offer them only two bedrooms. The three girls agreed to sleep together in one bedroom, but the boys could hardly ept that four of them would have to sleep together in a room for the night. Zhao Yuan said that he would make a bed for himself on the floor, and Lin Wenxi said that he wanted to sleep in another house. After a while, a youth came to take Lin Wenxi to his home for the night. Although the youth was just a countryman, he looked quite handsome and elegant. Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman could not help wondering what was going to happen between this youth and Lin Wenxi tonight.


    Lin Wenxi and the youth walked for about 10 minutes and reached a house on the top of a small hill. They rested in the yard for a while, and then the youth¡¯s elder sister came back.


    She entered the yard, carrying a basin of clothes. She was dressed in white clothes and looked like a fairy under the moonlight. Lin Wenxxi was somewhat stunned by her beauty, and the young woman also seemed to be a little surprised upon seeing Lin Wenxi. She introduced herself, ¡°Nice to meet you, my name is Zhu Ziping.¡± Lin Wenxi whispered in ssical Chinese, ¡°Wide gooses flew into the clouds. Ziping returned under the moonlight.¡±


    Zhu Ziping smiled while covering her face with a hand and said, ¡°That¡¯s a good line of a poem.¡±


    The youth frowned slightly and said, ¡°Sis, I really don¡¯t understand the ssical Chinese. I¡¯ll go to boil some water.¡± With these words, he walked away, leaving Lin Wenxi and Zhu Ziping in the yard.


    Upon seeing Zhu Ziping hang up the clothes to dry in the yard at night, Lin Wenxi was confused and asked, ¡°Why don¡¯t you hang up your clothes to dry during the day?¡±


    Zhu Ziping replied smilingly, ¡°It¡¯s too hot during the day. At night, the dew will gather on the clothes and the wind will blow them dry. When they¡¯re dry, they¡¯re cool andfortable to wear.¡±


    Lin Wenxi was impressed and asked, ¡°Why does someone so elegant like you live here in this small mountain vige?¡±


    Zhu Ziping smiled slightly under the moonlight with no expression on her thin face. ¡°I¡¯m tired of the life outside and happy to live here on my own. This is what I want,¡± said Zhu Ziping.


    Lin Wenxi nodded and thought, ¡°There must be something behind this choice of her, but she doesn¡¯t want to tell it to anyone else. I¡¯ll just stay here for a night. I¡¯d better not ask too many questions about a woman¡¯s personal life.¡± Lin Wenxi stood up and walked around, observing this ce carefully. Zhu Ziping did not stop him.


    When the water was ready, Lin Wenxi went to take a bath. As he had not taken a bath for days, he really enjoyed it. During the day, when his cellphone had been able to get some signal, he had received a call from his father, Lin Ziwei. He asked him to give a good performance but did not ask anything about his health. After talking to his father on the cellphone, he talked to his mother and shared some interesting things with her. Unfortunately, the signal went down all of a sudden, which made him feel quite sad. Now this bath made him forget about the sadness and feel happy again.


    The electricity supply was cut off at about 9:00 at night. When Lin Wenxi and the youth were about to go to sleep, Zhu Ziping invited Lin Wenxi to her room.


    Lin Wenxi followed Zhu Ziping into her room, which was dimly lit by a red candle. He sat on a stool and gazed at a big thing covered by a piece of blue cloth, while thinking, ¡°It looks like a piano. But howe a piano is left in such a mountain vige?¡±


    ¡°You created a nice poetic line for me the moment you met me. I¡¯m really pleased to see you here. Although you¡¯ll just stay here for a night, I still want to y a tune for you to repay your kindness and also as a way of saying goodbye to you.¡± With these words, Zhu Ziping removed the blue cloth, revealing a shiny grand piano.


    Lin Wenxi was stunned and thought, ¡°Grand pianos are usually used for concerts and rank among the most expensive pianos.¡± He approached the piano to observe it carefully. The wood was ck and shinny, looking like a piece of ck crystal. He opened the fallboard, which was thin and smooth, and removed a piece of blue, glossy cloth covering the keyboard. After that, he saw something on the piano. It was a big, shield-like mark with a gold-ted letter B on it. ¡°What? This is a B?sendorfer piano?¡± Lin Wenxi¡¯s face changed as he thought, ¡°I first saw such a top-notch B?sendorfer piano back in a grand concert when I was a child. Every B?sendorfer piano from Vienna is made of best-quality spruce wood by skillful craftsmen. It¡¯s said that it¡¯ll take them several years to make such a piano. Even in China, spruce wood is very expensive, as spruce trees grow only in the northernmost part of the country, such as Heilongjiang Province. It¡¯s an extraordinary piano. But howe it suddenly appears in front of me in such a mountain vige?¡± Lin Wenxi was so impressed and could not help but take a step backward.


    It was going to be an extraordinary night.

 Chapter 21 (He Did Not Make a Sound) Two Tigers Fighting Each Other

    <h4>Chapter 21 (He Did Not Make a Sound) Two Tigers Fighting Each Other</h4>


    The two girls quickly came up to help them dress the wound. Zheng Kai pointed at Lin Wenxi, who was lying on the ground silently, looking pale.


    Zhang An¡¯an had seen Zheng Kai push Lin Wenxi up just now. She really wanted to joke about it and asked Lin Wenxi whether his assh*le was alright. However, when she saw the injuries on their bodies, she decided to remain silent about this. When she was about to use Wang Xiang of being so useless, she saw him dress Zheng Kai¡¯s wounds professionally and carefully. She smirked and thought to herself, ¡°Well, looks like Wang Xiang knows how to dress wounds better than me.¡± As such, she could only focus on taking care of Lin Wenxi. She said, ¡°Cutie Wenxi, be brave. It may cause you a little pain. Let me blow it for you to give you somefort. You¡¯ll recover very soon, cutie Wenxi.¡± Upon hearing that, the other two boys felt disgusted.


    When the two girls focused on taking care of Lin Wenxi, Wang Xiang lookedpassionately at Zheng Kai, who was lying on the ground and frozen in a spasm of pain, and said, ¡°Brother Kai, looks at it. Girls only take care of the ones who groan and moan.¡±


    Zheng Kai muttered, ¡°But Wenxi did not make a sound.¡±


    Wang Xiang sighed and said, ¡°When you can¡¯t stand the pain the next time, remember to cry out. Don¡¯t just let it go. You remain silent. That doesn¡¯t mean that you can tolerate it. That only means that it¡¯s not hurtful enough.¡±


    Zheng Kai knew that Wang Xiang was talking about something else. He looked deeply at Chen Wanxin and then tightly closed his eyes without saying a word.


    Upon seeing that, Wang Xiang felt his eyes well up with tears. He punched Zheng Kai hard on the shoulder and shouted, ¡°Cry out...¡± Before he finished his sentence, Zheng Kai lifted a leg to kick him off. Wang Xiang flew backward while shouting, ¡°Aw.¡± When hended, he quickly got up and rubbed his butt. After that, he came back to sit beside Zheng Kai again. Upon seeing that, Shu Xiaoman chuckled while covering her mouth with a hand. She thought, ¡°Looks like Wang Xiang will be bent before Lin Wenxi.¡±


    Right at this moment, Zhao Yuan arrived, his face somber. He untied the rope to release Shu Xiaoman and asked her to check her wounds. He looked at Lin Wenxi and felt relieved to see that he was alright. The next moment, he suddenly pounced on Zheng Kai, and then they grappled with each other. Shu Xiaoman walked past Lin Wenxi who seemed calm on the surface and noticed that he was exceptional pale and had excessive sweats on his temples. She hurriedly went to check whether Lin Wenxi was alright.


    Usually, Zhang An¡¯an might be able to dissuade two boys from fighting each other, but now she only wanted to stay as far away as possible from Zheng Kai and Zhao Yuan to avoid getting identally injured by them. They were like two tigers fighting each other, and no one could stop them.


    It seemed that they nned to fight till death.


    Because of his strength, once Zheng Kai smashed his fist on Zhao Yuan, Zhao Yuan would be injured badly. However, Zheng Kai seldom got the chance tond his fists on Zhao Yuan. When Zhao Yuan punched Zheng Kai, Zheng Kai would feel some pain too, but he would not get injured. As such, Zhao Yuan changed his tactics and fought very strategically. He used some deceptive movements to delude Zheng Kai into smashing himself into a rock or something. It was hard to tell who would win the fight in the end.


    Suddenly, Zhao Yuan made a listless mistake and failed to dodge Zheng Kai¡¯s punch. He felt that everything went ck the moment he got punched in the face. His nose started bleeding as he fell t on his back. Upon seeing that, Chen Wanxin shouted to Zheng Kai, ¡°You¡¯re such a dumb*ss! You did something stupid yourself and even want to stop us from mentioning it!¡± She hurriedly came to Zhao Yuan to protect him. Upon seeing that, Zheng Kai was stunned. He fell silent, picked up his backpack and walked away.


    Zhao Yuan struggled up, nning to fight Zheng Kai again. Right at this moment, Shu Xiaoman screamed, ¡°Wenxi, you bled a lot...¡± While saying this, she tried to use her hand to touch his back. The next moment, she found out that her palm became sticky with blood. She was frightened and shrilled. ¡°Wenxi, let me check it!¡±


    Not very far away from them, Zheng Kai was so surprised upon hearing it that he nearly fell to the ground. He had discovered that Lin Wenxi was wounded just now, but he never expected him to be injured so badly. He thought, ¡°I believed that I was resilient enough, but Lin Wenxi is also able to stand the pain like me. He¡¯s a worthwhile friend.¡± He changed his mind and regretted what he had done. He decided to remain with the team no matter what.


    Zhao Yuan hurriedly set up a tent at a well-ventted ce and put a clean quilt on the floor of the tent.


    He went to get Lin Wenxi up and help him walk into the tent. At this moment, the others discovered that Lin Wenxi¡¯s back and the ce where he hadin had already been dyed blood red. Zhao Yuan entered the tent after Lin Wenxi with a medical kit in hand and he did not ask anyone else to help him.


    Lin Wenxi never went topless in front of others, even when he slept together with Zhao Yuan in the same tent. Zhao Yuan got used to sleeping with just his underpants on, but Lin Wenxi always slept fully dressed in their tent. Zhao Yuan was well aware that Lin Wenxi deliberately did this to express his dissatisfaction.


    Shu Xiaoman was worried about Lin Wenxi, but upon seeing Zhao Yuan and him enter the tent together, she felt somewhat excited. She exchanged a look with Zhang An¡¯an, and then they approached the tent sneakily. They peeped through a narrow opening near the tent zipper and saw something that they could hardly forget in their lives.


    Lin Wenxi knelt on the quilt with his back toward Shu Xiaoman, and Zhao Yuan squatted down to help him take off his shirt. Lin Wenxi clenched his fists, seemed to be hesitant. Zhao Yuan smiled and gleefully whispered something into his ear, making him unclench his hands. He let Zhao Yuan unbutton his shirt and take it off slowly. Shu Xiaoman saw his shoulders first. The skin of his shoulders was white and soft. It looked as if it were glowing like the moon in the darkness. After that, she saw his shoulder des tremble a little and could not help but worry about him. Gradually, Zhao Yuan took off Lin Wenxi¡¯s shirt, revealing all of his back.


    Lin Wenxi¡¯s back was well-shaped, and his shoulder des and spine were held just in ce by his muscles. Shu Xiaoman thought even Chen Wanxin, who was an excellent dancer, did not have such a good-looking back. Lin Wenxi was not muscr as Zheng Kai or saggy as Wang Xiang. His muscles were not big or bulging like those of Zheng Kai. They looked like the barely visible mountains in a Chinese ink-wash painting. As he wore a belt, Shu Xiaoman could see clearly that he did not have any fat around his waist. He looked like a person who exercised regrly. The scratched area on his back was quite big and distinct. Some dead skin curled up but still adhered to his back. Upon seeing the wound, Shu Xiaoman was so worried that she wanted to break into the tent right now. When she saw Zhao Yuan apply some merbromin on the wound directly, she could not help but crawl into the tent.


    Lin Wenxi was startled and turned to look at her. She was impressed deeply and fell to the ground when seeing the front of Lin Wenxi¡¯s body. She covered her mouth and looked at him in surprise. He had prominent corbones, slightly-bulging chest muscles, and six-pack abs. ¡°Wow, this feeble-looking Lin Wenxi turns out to have a quite masculine body, and his body looks just fine. If he gets fewer muscles, he¡¯ll not look like a man, but if his muscles get bigger, he¡¯ll look too muscr,¡± Shu Xiaoman thought andpletely forget about what she wanted to do here.


    When they yed basketball together under a scorching sun, Zheng Kai and Zhao Yuan did not care much about going topless, and they would even whistle at some girls nearby to catch their attention. Lin Wenxi would never do anything like that.


    Even at home, his father Lin Ziwei would never go topless or let him go topless. Lin Ziwei believed that a man had to be elegant and have a good taste. Once, when Lin Wenxi had said that he just wanted to go topless to cool himself down, Lin Ziwei replied, ¡°You can only do that in your room. Don¡¯t go topless in the living room.¡±


    Lin Wenxi retorted, ¡°What¡¯s the problem? You and mum saw me naked when I was a child.¡±


    Lin Ziwei was upset and said, ¡°That¡¯s because you were a small child back then. Now you grow up. When you¡¯re a child, you¡¯re a nk sheet of paper. When you grow up, you have to be careful to draw on this paper. Do you want to be a cheap scrawl or a great picture?¡±


    Lin Wenxi twitched his mouth and said, ¡°I just want to draw whatever I think and feel. I want an impressionist painting.¡± Upon hearing that, Lin Ziwei rapped sharply on Lin Wenxi¡¯s head with his knuckles.


    Lin Wenxi had read extensively since his childhood and was good at debating. When Lin Ziwei failed to defeat his son by logical discussion, he would subdue him physically. Lin Wenxi would pretend to agree with his father, but never really epted his ideas. One day, Lin Wenxi took off his shirt and yed Nintendo in the living room while cooking rice in the kitchen. Lin Ziwei came back and knocked on the door. Lin Wenxi was too absorbed into the game to notice that until he smelt that something was burnt in the kitchen. He hurriedly went to turn off the gas and open the door without putting his Nintendo away. His father punished him by making him cook ¡°satisfactory rice¡± for a month. Once his father or mother found the rice he cooked not satisfactory enough, he would have to cook for one more day. In the end, he cooked rice everyday during the summer vacation. After this incident, he never went topless in front of other people again. He became a well-principled and somewhat conservative young man.


    Before Shu Xiaoman recovered from the shock, Lin Wenxi had already put his shirt back on. When he was about to button the shirt, Shu Xiaoman hurriedly stopped him. She suddenly stood up and nearly broke the tent. After that, she bent down and got close to Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, what you¡¯ve done is not enough. This is not some small scratch. You should cut the dead skin off from his back and disinfect the wound before applying some merbromin to it. Otherwise, his wound will be infected.¡± With these words, Shu Xiaoman took out tweezers and a bottle of medical alcohol from the medical kit. After sanitizing the tweezers, she used it to clean Lin Wenxi¡¯s wound.


    In Zhao Yuan¡¯s eyes, Shu Xiaoman moved too gently and slowly. He thought it was too troublesome. When he sat on the floor with his leg crossed, he carefully observed her and realized that she was treating Lin Wenxi professionally. She never applied the medical alcohol to the worst wounded part directly and treated the wound very tenderly. When she needed to clean some part of the wound, she would tell Lin Wenxi in advance to give him some time to get prepared for the pain. It took her a long time to clean the wound. She was so concentrated that she broke into a sweat. Lin Wenxi broke into a sweat too because of the pain.


    ¡°Can you stand the pain?¡± Zhao Yuan asked and grabbed Lin Wenxi¡¯s hand. Lin Wenxi grabbed Zhao Yuan¡¯s arm tightly without moving a little or saying a word.


    When Shu Xiaoman finished applying the merbromin to Lin Wenxi¡¯s back, she sighed, ¡°Wenxi, how could you remain silent all the time? I...¡± What she wanted to say was ¡°I nearly fall in love with you¡±, but on second thought, she felt that it was quite strange to say something like that at such a moment. In the end, she said, ¡°I know it¡¯s troublesome to clean the wound, but only in this way, you won¡¯t get many scars on your back. Look at Zhao Yuan, he has scars all over his body.¡± While saying this, she pointed out all the scars in Zhao Yuan¡¯s face, neck, arms, and calves. Most of them were light, but a few of them were heavy and probably caused by knife cuts.


    She shook her head and sighed again, ¡°I really hope that you guys can cry out in pain like Wang Xiang, but Lin Wenxi just remained silent no matter how much pain he felt. As to you, Zhao Yuan, how did you get so many scars and knife cuts? Now you, you¡¯ll probably get a few more scars!¡± With these words, she managed to take Lin Wenxi¡¯s fingers off Zhao Yuan¡¯s arm. She shook her head helplessly and asked, ¡°Do you boys just like to abuse yourselves?¡± She turned around and crawled out of the tent.

 Chapter 19 (Zheng Kai, Don’t Rush!) The Impetuous Man Trying to Prove Himself

    <h4>Chapter 19 (Zheng Kai, Don¡¯t Rush!) The Impetuous Man Trying to Prove Himself</h4>


    When Wang Xiang took out the map and asked their host for directions, their host shook his head slowly and said, ¡°You¡¯ve taken a wrong turn. The river you saw yesterday is called the Yinshui River and your destination is on the other side of the Niutou Hill, which is located at the end of the main stream of the Yinshui River. You took a wrong turn yesterday and thus entered this vige.¡±


    It turned out that Wang Xiang had read the map wrong again and made the team waste several hours. Upon knowing that, Zheng Kai hit his fist on Wang Xiang¡¯s head.


    Zheng Kai did not re up probably because he was somewhat influenced by the peaceful atmosphere in the vige. The team quickly packed up and set off. They had to hurry up. Otherwise, the entire team would be eliminated from thepetition.


    They walked along the Wen Stream, the small tributary of the Yinshui River, to leave the vige, and then they walked along the main stream of the Yinshui River to reach the Niutou Hill. Now they were faced with two choices. The first one was taking a mountain path in the east to climb up the hill, which would take them at least 10 hours. The second choice was climbing the cliff to reach the top of the hill, which was risky but would save them a lot of time. The second depot was right behind this group of hills.


    The team members had quite enjoyed their journey since leaving the first depot. As such, they nearly forgot about thepetition. When Wang Xiang said that the second depot was near, they all feltpetitive again and chose to climb the cliff to reach the depot faster.


    Zheng Kai felt upset and thought, ¡°If we had not taken the wrong turn yesterday, we would¡¯ve been able to camp on the top of the hillst night. If I had discovered that mistake earlier and walked during the night, I would¡¯ve reached the second depot now. But now, as I have to travel with these girls, I can¡¯t walk as fast as I want.¡±


    When they were ready to climb the cliff, they spotted about 10 signs around the ce, which read, ¡°No Climbing.¡± They felt hesitant and wanted to take the mountain path in the east.


    ¡°No climbing, but what will happen if we climb it?¡± Zheng Kai asked.


    ¡°Probably nothing,¡± Wang Xiang replied.


    ¡°Yes, nothing will happen to us!¡± Shu Xiaoman added excitedly.


    They turned to look at Zhao Yuan, and Zhao Yuan turned his face slightly to nce at Lin Wenxi. Upon seeing that he was ready and even somewhat excited, Zhao Yuan nodded to agree.


    Zheng Kai and Zhao Yuan went to explore the way first. When Zhao Yuan rolled up his sleeves, Zheng Kai got topless and began to climb. Every now and then, he would grab some grass on the cliff for bnce with one hand and struck a sickle into the rock nearby with the other hand to check whether that ce could hold a piton securely. Once he found such a suitable spot, he would hammer a piton into it and then secure a rope on it by tying a firm knot.


    The others on the team were astonished by Zheng Kai¡¯s physical strength. Soon enough, he disappeared into the shrubs, and all they could hear was the nging sounds made by his sickle. Zhao Yuan followed Zheng Kai and carefully checked all the pitons to make sure that everything was as secure as possible. When he was still climbing, Zheng Kai reached the top and prepared rock-climbing tools for everyone. At noon, Zheng Kai cast two ropes down and climbed down the cliff together with Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan is such a careful person. I saw him hammer quite a lot of pitons for you,¡± Chen Wanxin said smilingly to Zheng Kai.


    ¡°If it was not for Brother Kai today, all of you except me would have to take the tortuous mountain path in the east,¡± Zhao Yuan said solemnly.


    Zheng Kai just remained silent, his face somber.


    ¡°For safety¡¯s sake, we¡¯ll take only two people to climb with us every time. Wenxi, you and I use a rope. Wanxin, you climb the cliff together with Brother Kai. The others just wait here for me and Zheng Kai toe down again,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°What? Why not take thedies up first?¡± Wang Xiang said worriedly and then bashfully looked at Zhang An¡¯an.


    ¡°Well, many students have gotten lost or dropped out by now. They¡¯ve been taken away by the military instructors. Considering theplexndforms, we really should thank you for taking us here, Wang Xiang. You¡¯re... really good.¡± Zhang An¡¯anforted Wang Xiang. Zhao Yuan also touched Wang Xiang¡¯s head and praised him. Wang Xiang¡¯s face changed and then he felt confident again.


    ¡°By the way, I think it¡¯s time for us to say goodbye to you guys. We¡¯ve caused so much trouble for you. We don¡¯t want to dy you guys any longer,¡± Zhang An¡¯an added. Shu Xiaoman and Chen Wanxin simultaneously nodded in agreement.


    ¡°No, we have to travel together.¡± Zheng Kai rejected their request and said, ¡°I promise to send all of you up to the top of the hill!¡±


    After several rounds of discussion, all the boys from Dorm No. 216 and all the girls from Dorm No. 419 decided to continue traveling together.


    When Chen Wanxin walked to him, Zhao Yuan felt somewhat awkward and looked at Zheng Kai. Upon seeing that, Zheng Kai just silently picked up Zhang An¡¯an. Soon enough, these two teams began to climb the cliff together, and the boys dragged and helped the girls all along the way. Suddenly, Zheng Kai seemed to lose his patience. He thought that Zhang An¡¯an was too slow, so he strapped her to his back and continued to climb while carrying her. Upon seeing that, Zhao Yuan had no choice but to carry Chen Wanxin on his back too. No matter how hard he tried, he could not catch up with Zheng Kai. Zheng Kai climbed very fast but very unsteadily. Once he missed his footing, the consequences would be disastrous.


    ¡°Don¡¯t rush, Zheng Kai!¡± Zhao Yuan could not help but shout at Zheng Kai.


    ¡°When ites to physical strength, you have to admit that I¡¯m better than you!¡± Zheng Kai talked back coldly and looked down at Chen Wanxin. Upon seeing her, he felt annoyed and climbed even faster. Zhang An¡¯an was so frightened that she just tightly held Zheng Kai¡¯s shoulders with her eyes closed.


    Zhao Yuan could not help but sigh and continued to climb up together with Chen Wanxin step by step.


    He took good care of her and helped her all along the way, but he never got too close to her. When Chen Wanxin was too tired to climb, he would stop and wait for her. He would push her up when there was a need, but he never held her tightly without asking. He acted very politely and even somewhat detachedly. Chen Wanxin, who was quite an audacious girl, remained silent and avoided looking at Zhao Yuan all along the way. She looked around and spotted two lovely butterflies and a small lizard on the cliff. She also saw some beautiful purple flowers on the cliff. In the meantime, she felt disappointed and thought, ¡°Just now, Zhao Yuan clearly wanted to climb the cliff together with Lin Wenxi instead of me. Well, it might be because of the bet, but it¡¯s just a bet. Zhang An¡¯an, Shu Xiaoman and I just wanted to y a prank on that Lin Wenxi as he embarrassed me in front of everyone. Did Zhao Yuan take it seriously? Does he really n to turn Lin Wenxi into a gay before chasing after me? Why does he take this task so seriously? And he doesn¡¯t seem to like me very much. Is it because his roommate Zheng Kai likes me? Is it because he just doesn¡¯t want topete with his friend for me? Is it because he... really likes Lin Wenxi? Did he really mean it when he asked me to be his girlfriend?¡±


    With this in mind, Chen Wanxin was confused.


    When Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin were about to reach the top of the hill. Zheng Kai was rushing down the cliff. He looked extremely fast and nimble, which deeply impressed Chen Wanxin. She had expected to meet all kinds of talented people in Jifu University but had never expected to meet someone like Zheng Kai. She had never seen anyone even the bodyguards of her family show such an astonishing physical strength.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, you have to admit today that I¡¯m better than you!¡± Zheng Kai smiled and continued rushing down.


    ¡°Brother Kai, don¡¯t rush! This isn¡¯tughing matter!¡± Zhao Yuan said somewhat anxiously.


    Zheng Kai ignored him.


    When he reached the top of the hill, Zhao Yuan was soaked with sweat and had to take some rest. Zhang An¡¯an was lying on the ground beside him, looking frightened, as she had not yet recovered from the shock. ¡°That monster just drank some water before going down again!¡± mumbled Zhang An¡¯an.


    ¡°Wanxin, if you don¡¯t like brother Kai, please don¡¯t tease him now and then. You should know how much he cares about you,¡± Zhao Yuan said to Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°When did I tease him?¡± Chen Wanxin grumbled.


    ¡°Just now, when you said, ¡®Zhao Yuan is such a careful person¡¯. But everyone saw clearly that Zheng Kai was the one who contributed the most. If Wang Xiang said this, no one would get upset, because we know that he¡¯s always a brainless guy. However, you¡¯re a smart girl. You should¡¯ve never said anything like that,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Alright, I see. But to be frank, I don¡¯t like guys who¡¯re not smart enough. Zheng Kai is as stubborn as a mule. He¡¯s not clever,¡± said Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°Then you should respect him as a schoolmate. You can¡¯t be so mean to him simply because he said that he likes you. Even if you were a princess before, you have to understand how to treat other people properly now,¡± Zhao Yuan raised his voice. Chen Wanxin was a little upset, but she had to admit that he had a point. As such, she just remained silent.


    ¡°Sigh, Zhao Yuan, be a man. Don¡¯t scold a girl in your ss like that. She¡¯s not a child. You could¡¯ve said this to her in a more eptable way,¡± Zhang An¡¯an said and handed some water to Chen Wanxin.


    Chen Wanxin thanked Zhang An¡¯an smilingly and then fell silent again. Her parents adored her very much, and she was always bossy to others. She had never expected Zhao Yuan to scold her like that. She thought that she should get mad and even hysterical at this moment, but she just felt disappointed and sad now.


    Zhao Yuan tried to call Zheng Kai, but his cellphone could not get any signal here. As such, he said to the girls, ¡°Excuse me, I have to go now. I¡¯m a little worried about Zheng Kai.¡± With these words, he jumped down while grabbing the rope. He tried his best to slide down as fast as possible.


    When he was two thirds of the way down the cliff, he was astonished by what he saw. He was frightened, irritated and worried. He shouted sharply, ¡°Zheng Kai, you¡¯re such a dumb*ss!¡±

 Chapter 20 (Relax, We Won’t Die) Zheng Kai’s Anger Nearly Lead to a Disaster

    <h4>Chapter 20 (Rx, We Won¡¯t Die) Zheng Kai¡¯s Anger Nearly Lead to a Disaster</h4>


    Zheng Kai was rushing toward the top of the hill with Wang Xiang tied on his back and Lin Wenxi tied to his front. The rope had to sustain the weight of the three boys, and the blue veins on Zheng Kai¡¯s arms had all stood out. The dry twig in Zheng Kai¡¯s mouth nearly got chewed through. Despite these, Zheng Kai continued to rush toward the top.


    ¡°Zheng Kai, go back down!¡± Zhao Yuan shouted.


    Zheng Kai spat out the dry twig and retorted, ¡°Zhao Yuan how can you outshine me today?¡± The twig rolled on the cliff for some time and then fell down silently. Zhao Yuan felt that his heart sank together with the twig.


    ¡°Zheng Kai, are you stupid? You get upset, so you put three people¡¯s lives in danger. Wenxi... Wang Xiang... are you alright?¡± Zhao Yuan broke out in a cold sweat and tried his best to catch up with Zheng Kai, nning to help him out when there was a need.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, I¡¯m fine,¡± Lin Wenxi said with difficulty.


    ¡°I¡¯m, I¡¯m fine...¡± Wang Xiang was too frightened to speak clearly now.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, if I were you...¡± Zheng Kai panted and said, ¡°I would go down to fetch Xiaoman. Who knows what will happen to her when she¡¯s alone in this wild hill? Besides, even if something happens to us, what can you do? Are you nning to fall down the hill together with us?¡±


    Wang Xiang nearly cried upon hearing that.


    Zhao Yuan knew that he could do nothing up here now, so he tried his best to slide down the cliff as fast as possible. When he left, he heard Lin Wenxi say, ¡°Zhao Yuan, be careful.¡± His heart ached.


    The moment hended on the ground, he immediately carried Shu Xiaoman on his back and began to climb up. Shu Xiaoman told him what had happened just now.


    ¡°When Zheng Kai came down, he immediately tied Wang Xiang to his back and said that he had to take the two boys up first. He said that he would leave me for you as I was lighter than the boys. Wang Xiang and Lin Wenxi could hardly agree with what he said. Lin Wenxi even tried to run away from Zheng Kai, but Zheng Kai quickly caught up with him after chasing him for some time with Wang Xiang on his back. He tied Lin Wenxi to his front the moment he caught him. Wang Xiang tried to escape at that time and bit Zheng Kai¡¯s shoulder. Zheng Kai pped him on the butt, making him cry.


    ¡°Zheng Kai said, ¡®I¡¯m a Green Fields Military Academy graduate. How can I be outshone by someone else?¡¯ He spat and roared with anger before he climbed the cliff again.¡±


    No one knew that Lin Wenxi was actually filled with awe upon hearing that Zheng Kai was a Green Fields Military Academy graduate. Years ago, when Lin Wenxi had been transferred from a vige school to a school in the city, his father Lin Ziwei had nned to send him to the Green Fields Military Academy. Upon knowing that, his mother Huang Xiya was extremely worried. She cried so hard that she fell ill. Because of his mother, his father finally gave up this n. After that, his father often asked his subordinate Hong Xuan, a Green Fields Military Academy graduate, to take Lin Wenxi to swim or ride a bike. As such, Lin Wenxi was quite healthy and strong, although he looked thin. When he heard about the dreadful training methods of the Green Fields Military Academy from Hong Xuan, he felt really grateful for his mother.


    Green Fields Military Academy was located on the outskirts of another small city. With the rushing Yangtze River in the front of it and a high cliff at the back of it, it was strategically located and remained mysterious to the outsiders. No student could escape from this academy, and every year, some of its students wouldmit suicide by jumping into the river as they could hardly bear the torture anymore. Despite that, this academy stood there for years and had strict requirements of admission. It only recruited 13-year-old boys who passed all the exams, physical abilities tests and health and background checks, and it never recruited bad-looking ones.


    After three years, the students who passed all the tests would continue to study in the academy for three more years, and those who failed to pass the tests would be transferred to the other high schools. As students of the academy could only return home once a year, most parents would not choose to send their sons to the academy unless they were too busy to take care of them. Some people would also send the orphaned boys of their families to the academy. Hong Xuan¡¯s father died during his childhood. When he was 13, he left his mother to study in the Green Fields Military Academy. After that, he became Lin Ziwei¡¯s bodyguard and driver. Hong Xuan said that he himself had been among the top students of the academy.


    Since meeting Zhu Zilinst night, Lin Wenxi became interested in people¡¯s backgrounds. He was just interested in them and never told this to anyone. He was interested in Zhao Yuan again and wondered while climbing the cliff, ¡°The most distinguishing feature of Zhao Yuan is his good looks. He¡¯s handsome and unique. He really stands out from the crowd. He¡¯s probably not so strong as Zheng Kai, but sometimes he can defeat him in a fight. It¡¯s said that he used to practice kung fu. He has the qualities a good leader should have. He¡¯s clear-minded and calm, no matter what happens. He seems to have grown up in the countryside since he knows how to catch hares and fish and how to cook in the wilderness without a lot of the modern conveniences. He¡¯s also able to recognize medical herbs. But strangely, he looks more like a child from a well-off family than a person from the countryside. He¡¯s bold but not rude. His manner is bright, and he never uses any filthynguage. He¡¯s well-principled and good at concealing his real feelings. As for Wang Xiang, he must be loaded. Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman, I can¡¯t figure them out. Chen Wanxin is pampered and...I don¡¯t know.¡± After thinking for some time, Lin Wenxi was surprised to find out that he seemed to be more interested in the boys and did not know much about girls. He mocked himself in his heart for a while and smiled. It was uneasy and sometimes scary to climb the cliff, but most of the time, Lin Wenxi felt quite secure.


    Zhao Yuan had also heard of the Green Fields Military Academy. If it had not been for his father, he would have gone to study in the academy a long time ago. He was also interested in Zheng Kai¡¯s past and wondered, ¡°Zheng Kai must¡¯ve deliberately hidden his strength during the military training. He probably knows more than the military instructors do. He knows how to build and row a bamboo raft and how to climb rocks. He must be well-trained. Did he study in the Green Fields Military Academy for three years or six years? No wonder Jifu University epts him. He¡¯s indeed talented. ¡°However, he doesn¡¯t seem to be interested in military or political stuff. He seems to like biology very much. If so, why did he choose to study in the Green Fields Military Academy? Zheng Kai¡¯s story must be long and interesting.


    ¡°As Wenxi is tied to Zheng Kai¡¯s front, his back might be scratched by the rocks sometimes.¡± With this in mind, Zhao Yuan suddenly felt energetic. He climbed up with both his hands and feet as fast as he could. He was eager to meet Lin Wenxi again. He wanted to make sure that he was safe.


    At this moment, Lin Wenxi felt quite unsteady and awkward. He felt that he was pushed up by Zheng Kai instead of being dragged up by him. Zheng Kai exerted himself to push Lin Wenxi up while panting heavily, and Lin Wenxi was nervous upon hearing his pants. Suddenly, Lin Wenxi felt his body sink and heard some broken rocks fall down. It was because Zheng Kai had gotten a sore arm and nearly missed his footing just now. He quickly regained his footing, grabbed the rope tightly with one hand and supported Lin Wenxi with the other hand. He also put one of his knees on the rock to keep his bnce. When Lin Wenxi turned to look at Zheng Kai, he was stunned. Blue veins stood out on Zheng Kai¡¯s arms, which had already been smeared by blood. Blood was oozing out from the wounds on his knee and dying the rock red. Despite that, he still gripped the rope with his teeth and continued to support Lin Wenxi with one of his hands.


    ¡°I can climb the cliff by myself,¡± Lin Wenxi said pleadingly to Zheng Kai. He believed that he could climb up on his own as it was not far away from the top now. Besides, he really did not want to be pushed up like this.


    ¡°Rx, we won¡¯t die,¡± Zheng Kai replied with difficulty. Suddenly, something flickered within his eyes. He started to climb the cliff again and quickly reached the top. The three of them copsed to the ground the moment they arrived. Zheng Kai was covered all over with scratches and bruises, especially his arms and knees, but he felt quite pleased as he thought that he had protected Lin Wenxi well. When he turned to look at Lin Wenxi, he was surprised to see that Lin Wenxi was covered with lots of scratches and bruises too. He thought, ¡°As Wang Xiang screamed all the way to the top of the hill, I thought that he probably got badly wounded and scared. But Lin Wenxi is clearly worse wounded than him. Howe Lin Wenxi never made a sound? He just kept looking at me worriedly.


    ¡°I was really desperate just now and had this outbreak of strength. I used to think gleefully that I would never have to take some hell-like physical training or military drill anymore after graduating from the Green Fields Military Academy. I never expected that I would do this again and even get someone innocent into trouble.¡± With this in mind, Zheng Kai chuckled and said to Lin Wenxi, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±

 Chapter 21 (He Did Not Make a Sound) Two Tigers Fighting Each Other

    <h4>Chapter 21 (He Did Not Make a Sound) Two Tigers Fighting Each Other</h4>


    The two girls quickly came up to help them dress the wound. Zheng Kai pointed at Lin Wenxi, who was lying on the ground silently, looking pale.


    Zhang An¡¯an had seen Zheng Kai push Lin Wenxi up just now. She really wanted to joke about it and asked Lin Wenxi whether his assh*le was alright. However, when she saw the injuries on their bodies, she decided to remain silent about this. When she was about to use Wang Xiang of being so useless, she saw him dress Zheng Kai¡¯s wounds professionally and carefully. She smirked and thought to herself, ¡°Well, looks like Wang Xiang knows how to dress wounds better than me.¡± As such, she could only focus on taking care of Lin Wenxi. She said, ¡°Cutie Wenxi, be brave. It may cause you a little pain. Let me blow it for you to give you somefort. You¡¯ll recover very soon, cutie Wenxi.¡± Upon hearing that, the other two boys felt disgusted.


    When the two girls focused on taking care of Lin Wenxi, Wang Xiang lookedpassionately at Zheng Kai, who was lying on the ground and frozen in a spasm of pain, and said, ¡°Brother Kai, looks at it. Girls only take care of the ones who groan and moan.¡±


    Zheng Kai muttered, ¡°But Wenxi did not make a sound.¡±


    Wang Xiang sighed and said, ¡°When you can¡¯t stand the pain the next time, remember to cry out. Don¡¯t just let it go. You remain silent. That doesn¡¯t mean that you can tolerate it. That only means that it¡¯s not hurtful enough.¡±


    Zheng Kai knew that Wang Xiang was talking about something else. He looked deeply at Chen Wanxin and then tightly closed his eyes without saying a word.


    Upon seeing that, Wang Xiang felt his eyes well up with tears. He punched Zheng Kai hard on the shoulder and shouted, ¡°Cry out...¡± Before he finished his sentence, Zheng Kai lifted a leg to kick him off. Wang Xiang flew backward while shouting, ¡°Aw.¡± When hended, he quickly got up and rubbed his butt. After that, he came back to sit beside Zheng Kai again. Upon seeing that, Shu Xiaoman chuckled while covering her mouth with a hand. She thought, ¡°Looks like Wang Xiang will be bent before Lin Wenxi.¡±


    Right at this moment, Zhao Yuan arrived, his face somber. He untied the rope to release Shu Xiaoman and asked her to check her wounds. He looked at Lin Wenxi and felt relieved to see that he was alright. The next moment, he suddenly pounced on Zheng Kai, and then they grappled with each other. Shu Xiaoman walked past Lin Wenxi who seemed calm on the surface and noticed that he was exceptional pale and had excessive sweats on his temples. She hurriedly went to check whether Lin Wenxi was alright.


    Usually, Zhang An¡¯an might be able to dissuade two boys from fighting each other, but now she only wanted to stay as far away as possible from Zheng Kai and Zhao Yuan to avoid getting identally injured by them. They were like two tigers fighting each other, and no one could stop them.


    It seemed that they nned to fight till death.


    Because of his strength, once Zheng Kai smashed his fist on Zhao Yuan, Zhao Yuan would be injured badly. However, Zheng Kai seldom got the chance tond his fists on Zhao Yuan. When Zhao Yuan punched Zheng Kai, Zheng Kai would feel some pain too, but he would not get injured. As such, Zhao Yuan changed his tactics and fought very strategically. He used some deceptive movements to delude Zheng Kai into smashing himself into a rock or something. It was hard to tell who would win the fight in the end.


    Suddenly, Zhao Yuan made a listless mistake and failed to dodge Zheng Kai¡¯s punch. He felt that everything went ck the moment he got punched in the face. His nose started bleeding as he fell t on his back. Upon seeing that, Chen Wanxin shouted to Zheng Kai, ¡°You¡¯re such a dumb*ss! You did something stupid yourself and even want to stop us from mentioning it!¡± She hurriedly came to Zhao Yuan to protect him. Upon seeing that, Zheng Kai was stunned. He fell silent, picked up his backpack and walked away.


    Zhao Yuan struggled up, nning to fight Zheng Kai again. Right at this moment, Shu Xiaoman screamed, ¡°Wenxi, you bled a lot...¡± While saying this, she tried to use her hand to touch his back. The next moment, she found out that her palm became sticky with blood. She was frightened and shrilled. ¡°Wenxi, let me check it!¡±


    Not very far away from them, Zheng Kai was so surprised upon hearing it that he nearly fell to the ground. He had discovered that Lin Wenxi was wounded just now, but he never expected him to be injured so badly. He thought, ¡°I believed that I was resilient enough, but Lin Wenxi is also able to stand the pain like me. He¡¯s a worthwhile friend.¡± He changed his mind and regretted what he had done. He decided to remain with the team no matter what.


    Zhao Yuan hurriedly set up a tent at a well-ventted ce and put a clean quilt on the floor of the tent.


    He went to get Lin Wenxi up and help him walk into the tent. At this moment, the others discovered that Lin Wenxi¡¯s back and the ce where he hadin had already been dyed blood red. Zhao Yuan entered the tent after Lin Wenxi with a medical kit in hand and he did not ask anyone else to help him.


    Lin Wenxi never went topless in front of others, even when he slept together with Zhao Yuan in the same tent. Zhao Yuan got used to sleeping with just his underpants on, but Lin Wenxi always slept fully dressed in their tent. Zhao Yuan was well aware that Lin Wenxi deliberately did this to express his dissatisfaction.


    Shu Xiaoman was worried about Lin Wenxi, but upon seeing Zhao Yuan and him enter the tent together, she felt somewhat excited. She exchanged a look with Zhang An¡¯an, and then they approached the tent sneakily. They peeped through a narrow opening near the tent zipper and saw something that they could hardly forget in their lives.


    Lin Wenxi knelt on the quilt with his back toward Shu Xiaoman, and Zhao Yuan squatted down to help him take off his shirt. Lin Wenxi clenched his fists, seemed to be hesitant. Zhao Yuan smiled and gleefully whispered something into his ear, making him unclench his hands. He let Zhao Yuan unbutton his shirt and take it off slowly. Shu Xiaoman saw his shoulders first. The skin of his shoulders was white and soft. It looked as if it were glowing like the moon in the darkness. After that, she saw his shoulder des tremble a little and could not help but worry about him. Gradually, Zhao Yuan took off Lin Wenxi¡¯s shirt, revealing all of his back.


    Lin Wenxi¡¯s back was well-shaped, and his shoulder des and spine were held just in ce by his muscles. Shu Xiaoman thought even Chen Wanxin, who was an excellent dancer, did not have such a good-looking back. Lin Wenxi was not muscr as Zheng Kai or saggy as Wang Xiang. His muscles were not big or bulging like those of Zheng Kai. They looked like the barely visible mountains in a Chinese ink-wash painting. As he wore a belt, Shu Xiaoman could see clearly that he did not have any fat around his waist. He looked like a person who exercised regrly. The scratched area on his back was quite big and distinct. Some dead skin curled up but still adhered to his back. Upon seeing the wound, Shu Xiaoman was so worried that she wanted to break into the tent right now. When she saw Zhao Yuan apply some merbromin on the wound directly, she could not help but crawl into the tent.


    Lin Wenxi was startled and turned to look at her. She was impressed deeply and fell to the ground when seeing the front of Lin Wenxi¡¯s body. She covered her mouth and looked at him in surprise. He had prominent corbones, slightly-bulging chest muscles, and six-pack abs. ¡°Wow, this feeble-looking Lin Wenxi turns out to have a quite masculine body, and his body looks just fine. If he gets fewer muscles, he¡¯ll not look like a man, but if his muscles get bigger, he¡¯ll look too muscr,¡± Shu Xiaoman thought andpletely forget about what she wanted to do here.


    When they yed basketball together under a scorching sun, Zheng Kai and Zhao Yuan did not care much about going topless, and they would even whistle at some girls nearby to catch their attention. Lin Wenxi would never do anything like that.


    Even at home, his father Lin Ziwei would never go topless or let him go topless. Lin Ziwei believed that a man had to be elegant and have a good taste. Once, when Lin Wenxi had said that he just wanted to go topless to cool himself down, Lin Ziwei replied, ¡°You can only do that in your room. Don¡¯t go topless in the living room.¡±


    Lin Wenxi retorted, ¡°What¡¯s the problem? You and mum saw me naked when I was a child.¡±


    Lin Ziwei was upset and said, ¡°That¡¯s because you were a small child back then. Now you grow up. When you¡¯re a child, you¡¯re a nk sheet of paper. When you grow up, you have to be careful to draw on this paper. Do you want to be a cheap scrawl or a great picture?¡±


    Lin Wenxi twitched his mouth and said, ¡°I just want to draw whatever I think and feel. I want an impressionist painting.¡± Upon hearing that, Lin Ziwei rapped sharply on Lin Wenxi¡¯s head with his knuckles.


    Lin Wenxi had read extensively since his childhood and was good at debating. When Lin Ziwei failed to defeat his son by logical discussion, he would subdue him physically. Lin Wenxi would pretend to agree with his father, but never really epted his ideas. One day, Lin Wenxi took off his shirt and yed Nintendo in the living room while cooking rice in the kitchen. Lin Ziwei came back and knocked on the door. Lin Wenxi was too absorbed into the game to notice that until he smelt that something was burnt in the kitchen. He hurriedly went to turn off the gas and open the door without putting his Nintendo away. His father punished him by making him cook ¡°satisfactory rice¡± for a month. Once his father or mother found the rice he cooked not satisfactory enough, he would have to cook for one more day. In the end, he cooked rice everyday during the summer vacation. After this incident, he never went topless in front of other people again. He became a well-principled and somewhat conservative young man.


    Before Shu Xiaoman recovered from the shock, Lin Wenxi had already put his shirt back on. When he was about to button the shirt, Shu Xiaoman hurriedly stopped him. She suddenly stood up and nearly broke the tent. After that, she bent down and got close to Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, what you¡¯ve done is not enough. This is not some small scratch. You should cut the dead skin off from his back and disinfect the wound before applying some merbromin to it. Otherwise, his wound will be infected.¡± With these words, Shu Xiaoman took out tweezers and a bottle of medical alcohol from the medical kit. After sanitizing the tweezers, she used it to clean Lin Wenxi¡¯s wound.


    In Zhao Yuan¡¯s eyes, Shu Xiaoman moved too gently and slowly. He thought it was too troublesome. When he sat on the floor with his leg crossed, he carefully observed her and realized that she was treating Lin Wenxi professionally. She never applied the medical alcohol to the worst wounded part directly and treated the wound very tenderly. When she needed to clean some part of the wound, she would tell Lin Wenxi in advance to give him some time to get prepared for the pain. It took her a long time to clean the wound. She was so concentrated that she broke into a sweat. Lin Wenxi broke into a sweat too because of the pain.


    ¡°Can you stand the pain?¡± Zhao Yuan asked and grabbed Lin Wenxi¡¯s hand. Lin Wenxi grabbed Zhao Yuan¡¯s arm tightly without moving a little or saying a word.


    When Shu Xiaoman finished applying the merbromin to Lin Wenxi¡¯s back, she sighed, ¡°Wenxi, how could you remain silent all the time? I...¡± What she wanted to say was ¡°I nearly fall in love with you¡±, but on second thought, she felt that it was quite strange to say something like that at such a moment. In the end, she said, ¡°I know it¡¯s troublesome to clean the wound, but only in this way, you won¡¯t get many scars on your back. Look at Zhao Yuan, he has scars all over his body.¡± While saying this, she pointed out all the scars in Zhao Yuan¡¯s face, neck, arms, and calves. Most of them were light, but a few of them were heavy and probably caused by knife cuts.


    She shook her head and sighed again, ¡°I really hope that you guys can cry out in pain like Wang Xiang, but Lin Wenxi just remained silent no matter how much pain he felt. As to you, Zhao Yuan, how did you get so many scars and knife cuts? Now you, you¡¯ll probably get a few more scars!¡± With these words, she managed to take Lin Wenxi¡¯s fingers off Zhao Yuan¡¯s arm. She shook her head helplessly and asked, ¡°Do you boys just like to abuse yourselves?¡± She turned around and crawled out of the tent.

 Chapter 22 (Trust Me) Nearly Quit the Competition

    <h4>Chapter 22 (Trust Me) Nearly Quit the Competition</h4>


    After taking some rest, the team started to travel again. Suddenly, it became somewhat cold, and dark clouds began to gather in the sky, casting a long shadow over the mountains. The team saw the lightning and then heard the thunder. It was windy, and it was going to rain very soon. Lin Wenxi looked back at the mountain vige and somehow thought of the young woman, her piano and her story again. When the team members all put on their helmets and burrowed into the wood, someone hurriedly chased after them and cursed. ¡°These brats, you even dared to climb the cliff...¡± After running for a while, he stopped wearily and said to himself. ¡°Well, if I had not drunk too muchst night... Zhao Yuan is indeed good at drinking.¡±


    That evening, the team deliberately chose to camp at the top of a slope since it was raining, but at night, their tents still got flooded. When Zhao Yuan woke up, he felt that his pants got wet and thought that he probably had a wet dream. When he discovered that Lin Wenxi was soaked in muddy water, he was stunned and thought, ¡°Every evening when we camp, we follow Zheng Kai¡¯s instructions toy some bricks, wooden tes and waterproof membranes below our sleeping mats in case that our beds get wet at night. As such we slept very well during the past nights even when it was raining. Howe we get soaked tonight?¡± He immediately turned on his shlight and nned to wake Lin Wenxi up. In the light, he saw that Lin Wenxi¡¯s face was red, his lips were pale and his eyes were tightly closed. He touched his forehead and found out that he had a high fever. ¡°Lin Wenxi got injured and kept walking during the day. And now he¡¯s soaked in the rain. He must fall ill now,¡± thought Zhao Yuan.


    He lifted up his head to check the tent and discovered that water still kept rushing into the tent. ¡°Oh, no!¡± he cried out as he thought, ¡°We camped on the top of a slope. If the water can rush into our tent like this, that means¡ªthere¡¯s andslide!¡±


    He hurriedly put a raincoat on Lin Wenxi and wrapped him tightly in the coat. He picked him up, carried their backpacks and rushed out of their tent. He could hardly stand while holding Lin Wenxi in the rainstorm. He felt so desperate in the darkness.


    He had not felt so panicked for a long time. ¡°Where are the others? How are they?¡± he thought while walking in the mud with difficulty. Lin Wenxi put his arms around Zhao Yuan¡¯s neck and coughed repeatedly. Suddenly, Zhao Yuan saw some light ahead. He swished his shlight for three times, and then he saw the light ahead moved in the same way. He knew that he found his teammates and hurriedly came to them. They gathered under a tree. Zheng Kai sat on the ground with his back against a rock, his face somber. Wang Xiang said, ¡°If there¡¯s lightning again, will this tree be struck by it?¡± The moment he finished his sentence, they saw bolts of lightning sh across the sky and heard loud thunder again.


    Wang Xiang was too frightened to utter a word anymore.


    Their campground was located on the top of a slope, which was about 10 meters above the ground. This ce was not very windy, but the soil here was quite soft. The soil got soaked in the rain and then andslide took ce. Fortunately, all the team members were safe, although all their tents had been washed away. Chen Wanxin was the first one who cried out ¡°Help¡±, and the one who came to her rescue in time was Zheng Kai. He picked her up and continued to look for shelter. After sending all the girls and Wang Xiang to a nearby wood, Zheng Kai went out again to look for their backpacks and their teammates, Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi. Luckily, he spotted the light shortly after he left the wood and found Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi.


    As Lin Wenxi was very sick, Zhao Yuan was so worried that he felt angry about Zheng Kai again. Right at this moment, Lin Wenxi patted his waist slightly and whispered to him, ¡°Don¡¯t me him.¡± Upon hearing that, Zhao Yuan suppressed his anger and sat down together with Lin Wenxi.


    They looked at their watch and found out that it was 2:30 a.m. If it continued to rain like this, they had to wait until 7 a.m. or 8 a.m. to see everything clearly again. They felt worried as they had lost most of their backpacks in this rain. It would take them at least a whole day to reach the next depot. They had nned to have a good sleep tonight and walk as fast as they could to reach the depot the next day, but thisndslide disrupted their n. They had no idea what to do next, and in the meantime, they were worried about Lin Wenxi, who had already passed out and looked extremely pale. Zhao Yuan put Lin Wenxi down on a soft ce and ran into the rain again.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, where are you going?¡± Wang Xiang asked anxiously.


    ¡°He wants to find some medicine for Wenxi,¡± Zheng Kai said slowly and grabbed Zhao Yuan to stop him. ¡°Don¡¯t go. Even if you find some medicine, it probably has lost its effectiveness after being soaked in the muddy water for such a long time.¡± Zhao Yuan got rid of him and continued to run into the rain. He searched around but found nothing. Suddenly, he shouted, ¡°Come out, military instructor! I want to quit now. We need medical help!¡±


    Upon hearing that, the others understood what he was trying to do. Zhang An¡¯an thought to herself, ¡°The military instructor is following us all along the way. He knows everything. As none of us ask for help, he just leaves us alone. But Wenxi is so sick now, how can he be so merciless? How can the Jifu University be so merciless? This is just a military drill. Why does it have to make uspete so fiercely for the rankings.¡± With this in mind, Zhang An¡¯an burst into tears and shouted, ¡°I quit! I just want to quit this f*cking stupidpetition! How can you be so merciless and refuse to help someone dying?¡±


    ¡°How many of you want to quit?¡± Zhang Dong came out of a wood nearby and asked. He looked coldly at them while holding an umbre over himself.


    ¡°Me! I quit and, and...¡± Zhao Yuan wanted to make a decision for Lin Wenxi, but felt hesitant. He thought, ¡°Lin Wenxi even wanted to travel on his own in case that these girls dyed him. If he had not lost his backpack, he would¡¯ve been traveling ahead of us now. If he wakes up and knows that I made this decision for him, what¡¯ll he think?¡±


    ¡°And Lin Wenxi! He has to quit,¡± Chen Wanxin said loudly. ¡°He¡¯s too sick to walk now.¡±


    ¡°Wanxin, you...¡± Zhao Yuan said and turned around. Chen Wanxin stepped out of the wood and gazed at the military instructor.


    Lin Wenxi woke up and heard what Chen Wanxin had just said. He cried out, ¡°No, I don¡¯t quit!¡±


    ¡°Lin Wenxi?¡± Zhang Dong was stunned. He went over and bent down to check Lin Wenxi. After that, he said angrily, ¡°How dare you! You made this arbitrary decision to climb the cliff and got your teammate to suffer so many injuries. And you did not report this thing to me!¡± He touched Lin Wenxi¡¯s forehead and then checked his pupils. He took out a bottle of warm water and some pills from his waist pack and fed the pills to Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°My tent is over there on the rock. I¡¯ll take Lin Wenxi away.¡± With these words, Zhang Dong picked up Lin Wenxi and prepared to leave.


    ¡°No!¡± Lin Wenxi grabbed the military instructor¡¯s arms and got down.


    ¡°Wenxi, listen to me. This is not the only chance for you to get some credits. We¡¯ll have another chance in the future. I¡¯ll quit with you, okay?¡± Zhao Yuan squatted down to wipe the raindrops off his forehead. Lin Wenxi struggled to stand up with the help of Zhao Yuan.


    He looked at his watch. It was 4 a.m. ording to their original n, they should¡¯ve set off now, but at this moment, Zhao Yuan, Zheng Kai, Wang Xiang and the three girls still stood here.


    After a while, Lin Wenxi smiled slightly and said, ¡°You guys can set off now.¡± He slowly walked toward Zhang Dong and said, ¡°Zhao Yuan, you need to go now.¡± In the meantime, he thought of his father¡¯s words, ¡°I don¡¯t ask you to rank 1st, but I have to see your name among the top 10!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, dad. I can¡¯t do that,¡± he thought dejectedly.


    ¡°That¡¯s my mistake. I got Wenxi to suffer this, so I¡¯ll take care of him. You guys can set off now. Wenxi, don¡¯t quit!¡± Zheng Kai said and grabbed Zhang Dong to stop him.


    Lin Wenxi gazed at him and said, ¡°I don¡¯t me you for this.¡±


    When Zhang Dong helped Lin Wenxi walk toward his tent slowly, Zhao Yuan caught up with them.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, if you don¡¯t go, I won¡¯t go to have a rest.¡± With these words, Lin Wenxi pushed the umbre away and stood in the rain together with Zhang Dong. The three of them stood there for a while. A bolt of lightning shed across the sky, but they still remained unmoved.


    ¡°Do you really want to quit, Wenxi?¡± asked Zhao Yuan.


    Lin Wenxi shook his head dejectedly.


    ¡°Then trust me,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    Upon hearing that, Lin Wenxi threw himself into Zhao Yuan¡¯s arms. Zhao Yuan quickly carried Lin Wenxi on his back and said to Zhang Dong. ¡°If he¡¯s really too sick for this, I¡¯ll give him to you!¡±


    Zhang Dong stood in the rain without saying yes or no. He was surprised to find out that the little boy had grown into a strong-willed young man. ¡°Just hang in there, Wenxi,¡± thought Zhang Dong.

 Chapter 23 (Wang Xiang Got a Zero!) An’an Was Dragged down by Wang Xiang

    <h4>Chapter 23 (Wang Xiang Got a Zero!) An¡¯an Was Dragged down by Wang Xiang</h4>


    ¡°Attention, march rapidly!¡± Zhao Yuanmanded. The team set off again.


    As it rained intermittently, the team had to stop sometimes. Lin Wenxi could not remember how many times they stopped. The only thing that he remembered was the warmth of Zhao Yuan¡¯s back. He felt so warm there that he nearly broke into a sweat.


    After traveling for some time, he felt that someone fed him some liquid food which tasted like bread. Another time when they stopped, he heard Zheng Kai¡¯s deep voice. ¡°Hold these two bamboo sticks in ce!¡± After that, he felt that he was lyingfortably on a stretcher instead of being carried by Zheng Kai or Zhao Yuan.


    When the team stopped again, he heard the boys leave to fetch some water and the girls chatting together. Chen Wanxin said, ¡°Looks like he¡¯s even weaker than a girl! Zheng Kai has muscles, Wang Xiang reads the map, and Zhao Yuan is our leader. The three of us have to pack up the tents, wash the clothes and do many other things every day. Now we have to take care of him. Without him, we would arrive at the destination now.¡±


    Shu Xiaoman retorted in a low voice, ¡°If we hadn¡¯t spent so much time ying around, Wenxi would¡¯ve arrived at the destination a long time ago. He¡¯s actually quite strong.¡±


    ¡°Humph, can he read the map?¡± Chen Wanxin said somewhat grumpily.


    ¡°He could¡¯ve joined another team,¡± Shu Xiaoman said somewhat sternly.


    ¡°Haha, I think he would¡¯ve arrived at the destination now if he had hooked up with that military instructor. Our cute brother Wenxi is just so charming and able to hook up with any guy. Do you think so?¡± Zhang Anan said smilingly to amuse the other two sisters. By doing so, she sessfully resolved their conflict.


    Upon hearing their conversation, Lin Wenxi thought dejectedly, ¡°I really didn¡¯t contribute much to the team. I just dyed them and caused them a lot of trouble.¡± He was so tired that he quickly fell asleep. When he woke up again, he heard Zhao Yuan¡¯s anxious voice.


    ¡°What do you want? To take the test one by one or as a team?¡± the examiner asked impatiently.


    When the team arrived at the depot, they were told that every one of them had to take a test consisting of 20 questions. Once an examinee answered a question correctly, he or she would get one point. To pass the test, an examinee had to get at least 10 points if he or she took the test alone. For those who took the test as a team, each of them had to answer 20 questions, and they could pass only by getting an averaged score of 10 points. If the team failed to get such an averaged score, all the members of the team would be eliminated from thepetition. The questions of the test fell into different categories, which included ¡°politics and economy¡±, ¡°astronomy¡±, ¡°geography¡±, ¡°military¡±, ¡°liberal arts¡±, ¡°physics and biology¡±, ¡°medicine and health care¡±, ¡°electronicputer¡±, ¡± ¡°math and logic¡± and ¡°music and dance¡±.


    The team had to be careful about this choice. They could not ensure that every one of them could get 10 points if they took the test one by one. However, if they took the test as a team, they had to know every team member¡¯s strength and work closely with one another. As both of the two choices were risky, the team members just looked at one another without saying a word.


    After a while, Zhao Yuan said resolutely, ¡°I¡¯ll team up with Wenxi. You guys can make your own choices. We can¡¯t get all of us eliminated from thepetition here.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll also team up with Wenxi,¡± said Zheng Kai.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take the test with Wang Xiang,¡± Zhang An¡¯an said affirmatively.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take the test with Wanxin,¡± Shu Xiaoman bit her upper lip and said.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take the test alone,¡± Chen Wanxin sneered and said. Shu Xiaoman was embarrassed. When Zhang An¡¯an was about to speak for Shu Xiaoman, Shu Xiaoman shook her head to her and quickly corrected herself, ¡°I¡¯ll take the test alone!¡±


    The next moment, they separated and entered different test rooms. Everyone of them was nervous since they knew that tests in Jifu University were never easy.


    Zhang An¡¯an picked ¡°music and dance¡±, as this was what she was most skilled in. Wang Xiang hesitated for a long time and then picked ¡°liberal arts¡±.


    Chen Wanxin also picked ¡°music and dance¡±, and among all the seven team members, she was the first one who passed the test. When she walked into the second depot after the test, she still had cold sweat on her forehead. She felt so lucky that she had managed to answer most of the questions correctly. She had been stunned when she was asked to write out the musical notation for Tchaikovsky¡¯s First Piano Concerto after listening to the piece of music twice. Fortunately, not long ago her father¡¯s subordinate Mo Qian had given her the musical notation and asked her to practice ying this piece of music. Now, she smirked with arrogance and looked at the test building, her long hair floating in the wind. She wondered, ¡°All my roommates and all the boys from Dorm No.216 are still in the test building. How are they now? How is Zhao Yuan? Will he pass the test? Well, I really don¡¯t know much about him. I just found him kind of attractive before, but I won¡¯t consider him to be attractive anymore.¡±


    To her surprise, a momentter, she saw Shu Xiaoman pass the test and step out of the building. Shu Xiaoman chose ¡°medicine and health care¡±. She was good at medical stuff, but she never nned to be a doctor.


    Chen Wanxin had never expected Shu Xiaoman toe out so quickly, so she saidplimentarily, ¡°You¡¯re brilliant.¡±


    ¡°So are you,¡± Shu Xiaoman smiled slightly and replied. Now she perfectly understood why Chen Wanxin had chosen to take the test alone. She thought that it was a wise choice and did not want to me Chen Wanxin for embarrassing her at that moment anymore.


    Right at this moment, Zhang An¡¯an and Wang Xiang walked out of the test building, and they did not look happy. Shu Xiaoman hurriedly came up to them and asked them what happened, Zhang An¡¯an sighed, and Wang Xiang said sadly, ¡°It¡¯s my bad. I dragged An¡¯an down.¡±


    Zhang An¡¯an had also picked ¡°music and dance¡± and been asked to write out musical notations after listening to some rarely-heard piece of music, to dance improvisingly to some song and to answer many questions. She worked really hard and got 13 points. As such, Wang Xiang just needed to get 7 points to get both of them to pass the test. However, Wang Xiang got a zero. He failed to recite Qu Yuan¡¯s poem Lisao. He wrote my characters wrongly when writing another poem The Moon Night of Spring River and Flowers from his memory. He forgot about Napoleon¡¯s birthday, metaphysics and Aristotle. He also failed to write a poem using a Yuan Dynasty writing format called Getting Drunken under the Flowers. In the end, their averaged score was 6.5 points, and thus both of them were eliminated from thepetition.


    ¡°How did you get into this university?¡± Zhang An¡¯an poked Wang Xiang¡¯s forehead and said dejectedly.


    ¡°I, I published a dozen novels...¡± Wang Xiang muttered.


    ¡°Remember to write an autobiography for yourself in the future and write down this shameful thing you¡¯ve done!¡± Zhang An¡¯an was so angry that her slender eyebrows became nted, and her eyes welled up with tears. When she heard that both Chen Wanxin and Shu Xiaoman had passed the test, she felt even more regretful. She sighed, ¡°I really trusted a wrong guy.¡± The next moment, she discovered that Wang Xiang looked even sadder than herself. She hurriedly said something tofort him. Shu Xiaoman and Chen Wanxin also said something to help them get over their sadness. It took them quite a long time to calm down.


    Lin Wenxi, Zhao Yuan and Zheng Kai took the test together. Lin Wenxi picked ¡°liberal arts¡±. Zhao Yuan nced over all the categories and said with his handsid out in a shrug, ¡°I wish I could choose martial arts.¡± After a moment of thought, he chose ¡°politics and economy¡±. Zheng Kai chose ¡°military¡±.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you choose ¡®physics and biology¡¯?¡± asked Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°I¡¯ve never passed any physics or chemistry exam,¡± Zheng Kai replied. He had to take a general knowledge course back in the Green Field Military Academy, but he never excelled at it. If it had not been for his excellent military skills, he would have been expelled from the school a long time ago.


    Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi went to sit down, and Zheng Kai began to take his test.

 Chapter 24 (You Are Really Awesome!) Lin Wenxi Gave a Good Performance and Nearly Succeeded

    <h4>Chapter 24 (You Are Really Awesome!) Lin Wenxi Gave a Good Performance and Nearly Seeded</h4>


    In the beginning of his test, Zheng Kai was given 10 rubber bullets and asked to shoot an AK47 model gun. He was told that he could get 1 point by getting seven 10-rings. There were 10 scoring rings on the target, and the 10-ring was the small center spot of the target. Upon hearing that, Zhao Yuan widened his eyes in surprise and began to wonder how difficult his test would be, while touching Lin Wenxi¡¯s forehead with one hand to check whether he still had a high body temperature. The moment Zheng Kai saw the model gun, he looked grim. He observed the gun for a moment and then quickly loaded the bullets into it. He lifted up the gun, aimed and shot all the bullet shots at once. Nine of these bullets hit the 10-ring. Upon seeing that, Zhao Yuan could not help but cheer. Zheng Kai easily got one point.


    After that, he was asked to dismantle and reassemble an AMR sniper rifle model. He swiftlypleted this task, which deeply impressed Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi.


    After getting 4 points in a row bypleting 4 different hands-on tasks, Zheng Kai felt much more confident. Nevertheless, when he heard the next question, he was dumbfounded.


    ¡°Which battle is considered to be the turning point of the Warring States period? Where did it take ce?¡±


    ¡°Uhm...¡± Zheng Kai wanted to retort that this question should not be put in this category. On second thought, he realized that it did have something to do with military knowledge. He was rendered speechless.


    ¡°The Battle of Changping, fought between the Qin state and the Zhao state,¡± Lin Wenxi said and then coughed violently. The next moment, they saw that the green light was on, which meant that they answered the question correctly. Now they had five points. Zheng Kai turned around and gave a thumb-up sign to Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Which battle is the turning point of the anti-fascist World War II? Which countries fought it? And how many troops did each of these belligerent countries send to the battle? What was the most widely-used individual firearm back then?¡±


    Zheng Kai was rendered speechless again. Lin Wenxi could not help but get closer to Zhao Yuan and felt warm andfortable in his arms.


    Zheng Kai failed to answer all the following 14 questions. When he finished his test, he banged his fist on Zhao Yuan¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Now we count on you.¡±


    Zhao Yuan nodded and said, ¡°Take a good care of him.¡±


    The moment Zhao Yuan left, Lin Wenxi immediately began catnapping at his desk. Upon seeing that, Zheng Kai smiled understandingly. He took off his coat and covered Lin Wenxi with it. After that, he sat as far away from Lin Wenxi as he could.


    ¡°Shang Yang Reforms upy an important ce in the history of ancient China, since it abolished very and established a centralized feudal monarchy. Thousands of yearster, a reform in Japan drastically changed the Japanese society, turning the feudal country into a capitalist one. What¡¯s the name of this reform? And who¡¯re the outstanding figures during this reform?¡±


    ¡°What? Is this really just one question?¡± Zhao Yuan thought dejectedly and nned to give up.


    ¡°It¡¯s Meiji Restoration, and the outstanding figures are Sakamoto Ryoma... Takasugi Shinsaku...¡± Lin Wenxi said slowly and with difficulty and he answered the question correctly. Zhao Yuan was so excited that he wished that he could rush to Lin Wenxi and kiss him now. He clenched his fist to suppress the urge and moved to the next question.


    ¡°What are the macro regtory tools for the national market economy? Which functional departments are using them? Please give examples of economic regtion in recent years and try to analyze the roles of these regtory tools.¡±


    Zheng Kai gasped in shock at this question, and Lin Wenxi frowned without saying a word.


    ¡°Prices, tax rates, exchange rates, interest rates, and wages. Commodity prices are determined by the market. Central and local governments will cooperate with one another to control themodity prices by injecting or retrieving different funds. The central bank is in charge of exchange rates and interest rates. As for tax rates, tax bureaus, finance bureaus and civil affairs bureaus at different administrative levels will work together to determine them... Recent examples...¡±


    Zhao Yuan borated his argument for at least several minutes. Lin Wenxi was astonished and deeply impressed, as he seldom saw Zhao Yuan study this kind of things.


    ¡°Try to analyze the post¨CWorld War II electoral system in the United States. What¡¯s the advantages and disadvantages of letting their presidents have investors? What do you think about this kind of democracy?¡±


    Zhao Yuan replied, ¡°The vast majority of people usually don¡¯t have much thought about politics, economy, and international rtions. Most of their voting decisions are influenced by the political ideas, backgrounds and behaviors of the candidates. As most of the voters never know the candidates in person, they can only make their decision ording to the candidates¡¯ speeches, the media remarks, and some opinion leaders¡¯ ideas. ¡°Remarks from the media and the opinion leaders are usually very one-sided, and the candidates¡¯ investors are able to create and spread those one-sided remarks. Without these investors, the candidates can never get so much media exposure. As such, I think this kind of democracy is pseudo-democracy.¡±


    After answering these two questions, Zhao Yuan looked quite tired out. Lin Wenxi exchanged a look with Zheng Kai and then looked at his backpack. Zheng Kai was puzzled. Lin Wenxi said, ¡°Water.¡±


    ¡°Do you want to drink some water?¡± Zheng Kai said, took out a bottle of unopened mineral water and gave it to Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxi sighed slightly and handed the water to Zhao Yuan.


    Zheng Kai touched his own head and simpered.


    Fortunately, the next two questions were simple. Zhao Yuan answered them correctly.


    ¡°Since the reform and opening up, how much the GDP of China has increased? How many enterprises have been established since that time? Where are these enterprises located? Which enterprises are the most representative ones?¡±


    ¡°The GDP has increased from a negative number to a positive number... The enterprises are located all over the country. As for the most representative ones, well, some state-owned enterprise, some other state-owned enterprise...¡± Zhao Yuan did not know the answer and started talking nonsense. Upon hearing that, Zheng Kai could not help butugh out loud.


    Zhao Yuan continued to talk nonsense when answering the other 14 questions. After getting five points, he returned to his seat, his face somber. As Zheng Kai and Zhao Yuan got only 10 points together, Lin Wenxi had to get 20 points. Otherwise, their team¡¯s average score would be below 10 points and they would be eliminated from thepetition. That meant, Lin Wenxi had to answer all the 20 questions correctly during his test. Everyone thought that it was impossible.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, Wenxi. Let¡¯s go to the hospital first. You can¡¯t wait any longer.¡± With these words, Zhao Yuan wanted to help Lin Wenxi get up.


    ¡°No. How can we give up without trying? I think he can do it,¡± Zheng Kai said and stood up to stop Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°To go on undeterred by the danger ahead? Well, I admire your confidence and courage. But Wenxi is too sick to take this test. Do you really want to see him fight till death when you already know the result?¡± Zhao Yuan said grumpily.


    ¡°Bother Yuan, why not say that we never know what miracle is wrought in our life? I¡¯m fine. I can do this. Please rest assured,¡± said Lin Wenxi. Because of the high fever, he could hardly open his eyes now. Zhao Yuan remained silent for a moment and then hugged Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxi rested his head on Zhao Yuan¡¯s chest to feel his breath and listen to his heartbeat.


    Question 1 Fill in the nks: (A poem written by Du Fu) ¡°Look at the setting sun and chant a______¡±. Please recite the poem and point out which genre it belongs to.


    ¡°It¡¯s Liang Fu Chant, a Yuefu poem. ¡®Step out of the city gate of Qi City and look at the distant Yinli. There are three tombs in the middle...''¡±


    After Lin Wenxi finished reciting the poem, the green light was on.


    Question 2: Please list all the dynasties of the ancient China, their beginning and ending dates and the names of the monarchs or emperors.


    Lin Wenxi listed the required details one by one and only got stuck for a moment when talking about the five nomadic tribes and the three Han generals who founded 16 states (A.D. 304-439). In the end, he sessfully listed all the required details.


    Question 3: When the Tang dynasty reigned in the ancient China, how many countries existed in the other parts of the world? What about their social systems?


    ¡°What a ridiculous question! Who knows the answer?¡± Zhao Yuan thought angrily and nearly cursed out.


    To his surprise, Lin Wenxi named quite a few countries after some thought. ¡°There might be some other countries, but as they didn¡¯t leave any reliable historical materials, no one can be sure about their existence,¡± added Lin Wenxi.


    The green light was on.


    Zheng Kai and Zhao Yuan were astonished.


    They could hardly believe what happened when Lin Wenxi got 19 points. Now, it was thest question. The three of them simultaneously held their breath.


    Question 20: Please recite 50 poetic lines which included a character from the examinee¡¯s name.


    Lin Wenxi chose the character Xi (stream) from his name and started to recite. ¡°I always remember the evening I spent at the pavilion by the stream... Clouds rise from the stream while the sun is setting... The stream near the peach forest is too shallow for a boat...¡±


    After reciting more than 40 poetic lines, Lin Wenxi felt exhausted and dizzy. He still had a high fever. He waved to Zhao Yuan, asking Zhao Yuan to help him stand up.


    At this moment, the red light was on. Lin Wenxi panted heavily and slumped back into his chair. Zheng Kai suddenly stood up and clenched his fists, while thinking, ¡°So this is it? Are we going to be eliminated from thepetition?¡±

 Chapter 25 (The 10th Wonder of the World) Zhao Yuan Managed to Get the Last Point

    <h4>Chapter 25 (The 10th Wonder of the World) Zhao Yuan Managed to Get the Last Point</h4>


    ¡°You just continue to recite poetic lines containing the character ¡®Yuan¡¯ (deep water) and leave the rest to me,¡± Zhao Yuan bent down to talk to Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi nodded and quickly recited 7 or 8 lines. ¡°Read Tao Yuanming¡¯s poems aloud, I¡¯ll rise from Jiuyuan... Fish swimming in the deep water and birds flying among the wood, each in its own ce...¡±


    The red light was on again and began to flicker, signalling to the examinees that the had to leave now. The examiner in the corner stood up impatiently.


    ¡°I protest!¡± Zhao Yuan raised his hand high and said.


    ¡°Speak,¡± The examiner in the dark corner still remained barely visible to them. He stood still like a statue.


    ¡°We¡¯re a team. ording to the rules, we can answer questions together. The 20th question asks us to recite 50 poetic lines, each including a character from the examinee¡¯s name. Just now Lin Wenxi recited lines including the character ¡®Xi¡¯ from his name, but now it¡¯s my turn. I choose the character ¡®Yuan¡¯ from my name, and he just recites lines containing the character ¡®Yuan¡¯ for me. I can¡¯t see there¡¯s anything wrong with that,¡± Zhao Yuan said assertively. Upon hearing that, Lin Wenxi immediately realized what Zhao Yuan intended to do, Zheng Kai thought for a while and finally realized what was going on. He banged his fist on Zhao Yuan¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Good boy, you¡¯re smart!¡±


    The examiner kept silent for a long time, and then the green light was on.


    ¡°Thank goodness! We passed!¡± Lin Wenxi took a deep breath and thought with relief. Zhao Yuan rubbed his chest to help him rx and said, ¡°If you¡¯re too tired, just tell me, my cutie Wenxi.¡±


    Zheng Kai got goose bumps upon hearing that and said, ¡°Zhao Yuan, Wenxi is a boy, you...¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t disturb him. Let him have a rest. Do you forget who answered those 20 questions correctly for us?¡± Zhao Yuan replied without looking at Zheng Kai. He helped Lin Wenxi to stand up slowly and said, ¡°Wenxi, you¡¯re the 10th wonder of the world!¡±


    Lin Wenxi smirked and said, ¡°Then you and Zheng Kai are the 8th and 9th wonders of the world respectively.¡±


    ¡°Well, well, whatever you say is right!¡± said Zhao Yuan. He was so excited that he picked Lin Wenxi up and strode out of the test building while carrying him. Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t help but scream and struggle, trying to extricate himself from Zhao Yuan¡¯s arms. It was sunny outside. When they walked under the trees, Lin Wenxi saw something like stars flickering within Zhao Yuan¡¯s eyes. He lifted up his hand to touch Zhao Yuan¡¯s eyelids. Gradually, his vision became blurred, and he gradually fell asleep rxedly and with a smile on his face.


    When he woke up again, he found himself lying on a bed in a small room. He was put on a drip. He looked around and saw another person lying on a bed beside him. It was Zheng Kai. Since meeting this guy, Lin Wenxi had never seen him be so quiet. He was put on a drip too, his stered leg up in the air. Lin Wenxi mused for a long time but still failed to figure out why this super energetic Zheng Kai ended up here. He remembered that Zheng Kai and Zhao Yuan had taken turns to carry him all along the way.


    The next moment, Zhao Yuan and Shu Xiaoman entered the room. One of them sat beside Lin Wenxi¡¯s pillow, and the other sat at the end of the bed. Before being asked, Shu Xiaoman excitedly began to tell Lin Wenxi everything.


    ¡°Zheng Kai told everyone what was a real man with his own actions. His injuries are worse yours. He gets scratches all over his body, and his knee nearly gets aminuted fracture. He always pretended to be alright in front of Chen Wanxin so much so that he nearly forgot about his own injuries. He walked fast and caught a cold on that rainy night. Although he had a high fever, he still forced himself to set off again and even help Zhao Yuan carry you. He was nervous during the test, but after the test, he rxed and finally lost control of himself. He went to a quiet corner and cked out there.


    ¡°Before that, he just told us that he needed to take a rest in the depot. When all of us were busy taking care of you, he copsed to the ground without being noticed by anyone. When some other students arrived at the depot and saw him, they cried for help. At that time, we knew that our strongest macho Zheng Kai had fainted.


    When Zhao Yuan found him, he couldn¡¯t help but punch the pir next to him and shouted, ¡°Zheng Kai, you¡¯re f*cking stupid to try so hard to defend your d*mned honor! Even when you fainted, you had to choose such a quiet corner!¡±


    ¡°Zhao Yuan tried to pick up Zheng Kai, but fell down on the ground too. He was also exhausted. In the end, we worked together to carry Zheng Kai to the depot clinic.¡±


    Shu Xiaoman told Lin Wen that Zheng Kai was just exhausted but not very sick. ording to her, Zheng Kai would be able to join thepetition again when his wounded knee was alright, but Lin Wenxi would need at least several days to recover since he was too sick and his wounds got infected.


    Lin Wenxi looked at Zheng Kai dejectedly and asked, ¡°Who else will continue to hike?¡±


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, Zheng Kai, and Wanxin. As for you, you can set off whenever you feel alright. Almost all the top 30 students failed the test in the second depot and thus got eliminated from thepetition. A few survivors have already set off, and it¡¯s impossible to catch up with them now.¡± With these words, Shu Xiaoman held Lin Wenxi¡¯s hand to feel his body temperature. When she found out that he did not have a high fever now, she unknitted her eyebrows. Lin Wenxi felt worried, as Shu Xiaoman did not tell him what had happened to the other three teammates.


    ¡°What about the other four members of our team?¡± Lin Wenxi asked inly.


    ¡°They failed the test,¡± said Shu Xiaoman.


    ¡°It seems that I won¡¯t have any chance to win thispetition,¡± Lin Wenxi thought sadly and slumped into his bed.


    The next moment, he said, ¡°I remember that I¡¯ve passed the test. I¡¯m not eliminated from thepetition. Am I right?¡±


    Shu Xiaoman bit her lip and shook her head, trying to stop Lin Wenxi from joining thepetition again.


    Right at this moment, Zhang Dong entered the room and asked, ¡°Do you want to go now?¡± He looked coldly at Zheng Kai for a moment and then looked Lin Wenxi up and down.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Lin Wenxi stood up and answered assertively.


    ¡°If so, you¡¯d better hurry up! Many students have set off by now. If you continue to stay in the clinic, you won¡¯t win thepetition and you¡¯ll dy your teammates. If you want to give up, you¡¯d better give up now!¡± Zhang Dong said solemnly as if he was scolding his own subordinate.


    ¡°Where¡¯s your conscience? He¡¯s too sick to leave!¡± Shu Xiaoman rushed to Zhang Dong and shouted to him with her hands ced on her hips.


    She continued grumpily, ¡°There are three kinds of people in the world. The first kind of people still have their conscience. The second kind of people have their conscience eaten by dogs. What about the third kind of people? Do you know that?¡± Zhang Dong ignored her, turned around and left.


    Shu Xiaoman was stunned and shouted to him, ¡°What the f*ck! You even don¡¯t want to know the answer!¡±


    ¡°So what about the third kind of people?¡± Zheng Kai woke up and asked with a smile.


    ¡°Even dogs will feel disgusted at the idea of eating the third kind of people¡¯s conscience, and Zhang Dong was one of them!¡± Shu Xiaoman shouted toward the leaving military instructor. When she turned around to look at Zheng Kai, Zheng Kai was looking at something in the ceiling and chuckling.


    ¡°Oh, I see.¡± Zhang Dong suddenly came back with Wang Xiang and stood behind her. Shu Xiaoman turned around and pointed at Wang Xiang. Wang Xiang stuttered, ¡°Is there anything wrong with me?¡±


    ¡°Come in here to take care of Zheng Kai. I¡¯m busy taking care of Wenxi!¡± shouted Shu Xiaoman.


    Wang Xiang rushed to Zheng Kai and eximed while checking his wounds. ¡°Look at you! How can you stand so much pain? It¡¯s said that people like you must have no one to take care of you during your sad childhood. Oh, poor boy, don¡¯t worry. An¡¯an and I will take care of you in the future!¡±


    Zheng Kai looked back at Wang Xiang, his face somber.


    Zheng Kai¡¯s childhood was indeed very different. He had to get up at 6 a.m. to run several kilometers together with his father Zheng Zihuan every day, when the other children at his age still yed mud or some transformer toys together every day.


    When he went to school, he had two free hours after the morning sses every day. However, his father would give him only half an hour to take a nap and during the remaining 1.5 hours, he would ask him to y basketball or do some sit-ups or push-ups. His father would give him only two hours to finish his homework after dinner every day. Once he failed to finish his homework during the two hours, his father would beat him up. If he cried, his father would scold him and tell him that a man should never cry. His father would even flog him with his leather belt until he stopped crying. Every day, during the two free hours after dinner, Zheng Kai would finish his homework as fast as he could in order to get some time to y with the other children in his neighborhood. Nevertheless, he seldom got such a chance. As such, he failed to have any friend in his neighborhood and most of the time, he could just sit down on the ground to watch the stars alone.


    In the evening, he had to take a cruel two-hour weight training. His father would ask him to do frog jumps with some heavy quilts on his back or to do pull-ups with some heavy sandbags tied to his ankles. Once his father thought that he did not try his best, he would flog his butt or thighs with his belt. Every night, he had to go to sleep at 10 p.m. and sleep for 8 hours. When he woke up, he would start his training again. Sometimes, his father would even hire some professional trainers to teach him fencing, boxing and martial arts.


    Zheng Kai knew that his father was not cruel to him, as his father, who did not have much money, let him eat very well every day. He could have meat, fish and milk for every meal and sometimes, he would even be able to eat some hares or snakes from the mountain. Once his father thought that he did well in the training, he would buy him his favorite clothes and toys. Strangely, his father would forbid him from ying with the toys at home. Zheng Kai did not quite understand his parents. His father was busy training him every day, and his mother often cried. They did not seem to love each other very much but they did not divorce. When Zheng Kai first learned something about biology from a high school girl in his neighborhood, he was intrigued and wondered, ¡°Does my father have some overexcited sympathetic nerves? Is that why he often sighs at night and makes me train long and hard during the day?¡±


    Time flew, and Zheng Kai gradually grew into a teenager. Because of his father¡¯s cruel training, he became exceptionally strong and tall. He won various kinds ofpetition in different sports meetings, and thus caught the attention of the Green Fields Military Academy. The academy made an exception to recruit him. After that, he left his home to study in the academy for five years. His mother woulde to the academy to visit him every half a year and left while crying. His father only came to the academy once to attend his rewarding ceremony during the second year of his high school.


    Zheng Kai never liked to think back to his past, but Wang Xiang¡¯s words reminded him of all his past experiences and made him feel somewhat depressed.


    ¡°I juste back to tell you something important. When you walk out of this room, you can go to the third room to your left to get the supplies. As now there are only 30 students left in thepetition, and we have 30 military instructors, each one of you will be followed by a military instructor.¡± With these words Zhang Dong threw a quick nce at Lin Wenxi and said, ¡°If you want to go. Get up! Hurry up! Don¡¯t act like a girl!¡±


    ¡°Is there anything wrong with a girl? I¡¯m a girl and I made it here!¡± Shu Xiaoman was upset and shouted with her hands on her hips again.


    ¡°If you verbally abuse your military instructor, you¡¯ll be eliminated from thepetition! Remember it,¡± Zhang Dong replied in a deep voice after a moment of silence.


    ¡°Alright, I quit now. Can I scold you if I quit?¡± Shu Xiaoman said smilingly, while pointing at the military instructor. She twitched her mouth and lifted up her head, looking aggressive. Lin Wenxi was impressed by the proud look on her face. It somehow reminded him of Lin Qingxia¡¯s role Dongfang Bubai.


    ¡°Look, he¡¯s scared of me. Wenxi, don¡¯t worry. You just need to lie on your bed,¡± Shu Xiaoman pped her hand and said excitedly beside Lin Wenxi¡¯s bed.


    Zhang Dong left without saying a word. When Shu Xiaoman turned around, she saw Zheng Kai and Lin Wenxi hurriedly get out of their beds and pack up together with Zhao Yuan.

 Chapter 26 (You Are Really Abnormal) Separate at a Juncture of Three Roads

    <h4>Chapter 26 (You Are Really Abnormal) Separate at a Juncture of Three Roads</h4>


    ¡°You, You are really...¡± Shu Xiaoman was stuck for words upon seeing the three boys hurriedly getting ready to set off again. She suddenly felt so sad that she gritted her teeth and stormed out of the room.


    She happened to run into Zhang An¡¯an at the door, and Zhang An¡¯an touched her forehead and asked worriedly, ¡°What happened?¡±


    ¡°An¡¯an, Wenxi, Wenxi, he wants to join thepetition again!¡± Shu Xiaoman said while sobbing.


    Zhang An¡¯an immediately understood why Shu Xiaoman suddenly decided to give up thepetition and became so sad. She looked at Wang Xiang while thinking, ¡°I should feel lucky since Wang Xiang is such an obedient guy.¡± She sighed and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Better days are yet toe. Will you feel better by thinking that he joined thepetition because of Zhao Yuan?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know. I just feel sad,¡± Shu Xiaoman replied with a somber face. The two girls went out to talk privately, leaving Wang Xiang at the door. Upon seeing that, Wang Xiang shook his head and spread his hands in shrug. When he walked into the room, the other three boys were ready to get their supplies.


    He patted Lin Wenxi¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Hey, buddy, if you can¡¯t hold on, just give up. Your parents must be worried about your health.¡± Lin Wenxi paused for a moment, but then continued to walk out without hesitation.


    ¡°Xiaoman, do you regret quitting thepetition so easily?¡± asked Zhang An¡¯an.


    ¡°Yes. It turns out that I really have no idea what a kind of person he is,¡± said Shu Xiaoman.


    Zhang Anan couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°You always think that he¡¯s as weak as a piece of paper but never know that he¡¯s such a tough, gutsy guy.¡±


    When Lin Wenxi, Zhao Yuan, Chen Wanxin and Zheng Kai set off, they had a little trouble. Lin Wenxi asked Zhao Yuan to go first but Zhao Yuan refused and kept following him. Chen Wanxin wanted Zheng Kai to go first but Zheng Kai refused and followed her.


    Upon seeing that, Wang Xiang sat cross-legged on a stool, and chanted sarcastically, ¡°The pole is long, and the bench is wide. The bench wants the pole to be attached to itself, but the pole doesn¡¯t want to be attached to the bench...¡± To his surprised, the next moment, he saw that Zheng Kai was rushing back while shaking his fists grumpily. ¡°Oh, no!¡± Wang Xiang cried out and ran away. When he was about to run past Zhang An¡¯an, Zhang An¡¯an shot out her foot to trip him up. He fell to the ground face down and copsed on the ground for a moment. After that, he went to Zhang An¡¯an, asking for a hug.


    Lin Wenxi chose Zhang Dong as his military instructor.


    While being followed and watched by their military instructors, Zhao Yuan, Lin Wenxi, Zheng Kai and Chen Yuxin felt quite nervous. Zhao Yuan tried to hold Lin Wenxi to help him walk more easily but got rejected. He thought back to what Wang Xiang had just chanted and decided to just walk beside Lin Wenxi slowly.


    Suddenly, Chen Wanxin stopped and pushed Zheng Kai forward while saying, ¡°You go first, Zheng Kai.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t. You know that I¡¯ve just recovered from a severe illness,¡± Zheng Kai scratched his head and replied smilingly.


    ¡°I warn you to hurry up and win the first prize, Zheng Kai! Otherwise, I won¡¯t talk to you anymore!¡± Chen Wanxin shouted while pointing to the front.


    Zheng Kai was confused and thought, ¡°I remember that it was Chen Wanxin who took care of back in the clinic when I passed out. She wiped my arms clean, tied a bandage around my foot and then tucked me in my bed. I was conscious back then, but I pretended to be unconscious to enjoy the moment until she was asked to leave and pack up her things. That is probably the happiest moment in my life so far. I¡¯m willing to remain uncouscious for my whole life if she¡¯ll continue to take care of him. Well, that¡¯s not quite possible. But doesn¡¯t she begin to like me? If she really likes me, why does she want to send me away? Does she want me to prove that I¡¯m well-matched to her by winning the first prize?¡±


    Zheng Kai felt dejected and then felt excited. He wondered with shiny eyes, ¡°Why do I suddenly be so emotional? This is incredible.¡±


    ¡°What if I really win the first prize?¡± Zheng Kai asked cheerfully.


    ¡°I¡¯ll beroth Wang Xiang to you,¡± Chen Wanxin turned her face to the side to avoid looking at him and said.


    ¡°I¡¯ll always remember your promise. If Wang Xiang refuses to marry me, you will be held ountable.¡± With these words, Zheng Kai grinned to Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan and shouted, ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you guys at the destination. Don¡¯t let me down!¡± He started running forward while carrying his backpack, and his military instructor chased after him while panting heavily. The military instructorined, ¡°F*ck, can you give me a break to catch my breath? How can you run so fast? I¡¯ll not be able to catch up with you brat, if I get a little bit older.¡±


    Chen Wanxin watched Zheng Kai running away and felt rxed. She turned to look at Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan, who were still embroiled with each other. Lin Wenxi repeatedly persuaded Zhao Yuan to go first, but Zhao Yuan insisted on traveling together with him. Chen Wanxin thought that now they looked like two old friends who were declining each other¡¯s kind offers out of modesty. She smiled and caught up with them. The three of them began to travel together.


    Soon enough, they arrived at a junction of three roads. ording to the map, they should walk down the road in the middle. Nevertheless, Lin Wenxi chose the road on the left, and Chen Wanxin, the one on the right. Both of them tactfully pretended to have read the map wrong.


    ¡°Hey, you two, we should walk down the road in the middle,¡± Zhao Yuan stopped, looked to the left for a moment, and then looked to the right. Suddenly, he shouted, ¡°Lin Wenxi, Chen Wanxin, attention!¡±


    Upon hearing themand, Lin Wenxi and Chen Wanxin habitually stopped and stood up straight.


    Upon seeing that, Zhao Yuan smiled with satisfaction and continued, ¡°Lin Wenxi, face right! Chen Wanxin, face left!¡±


    The next moment, Zhao Yuan was rendered helpless. Chen Wanxin continued to strut forward on the right road. Lin Wenxi trotted briskly to the left and quickly disappeared. Zhang Dong chased after him. Lin Wenxi¡¯s movements seemed perfect, except for his somewhat feeble steps. He almost did not look like a patient.


    Zhao Yuan touched his head confusedly as he thought, ¡°Chen Wanxin and Lin Wenxi seldom talk to each other. Why did they simultaneously set on different paths? The acted as if they had made up this n together a long time ago.¡± Knowing that he could not travel together with them, Zhao Yuan decided to focus on thepetition. He was determined to be ranked among the top three, and this thought quickly upied his mind. He started to run as fast as he could.


    When he went far away, Lin Wenxi and Chen Wanxin walked back to the junction of the three roads.


    ¡°Pretty good, my little brother Wenxi. You really understood me well,¡± Chen Wanxin said cordially and stretched out her hand to touch Lin Wenxi¡¯s head. Lin Wenxi, who was just several centimeters taller than Chen Wanxin, moved his head away to avoid her hand and asked, ¡°Your little brother?¡± He remembered this slender hand very clearly.¡±When I was on Zhao Yuan¡¯s back, she often put her hand under my nose to feel my breath or pinched me to check whether I was pretending to be sick and sleepy. I remained silent about that, but then she even ndered me in front of Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman. Well, it¡¯s not a big deal, but I still feel hurt,¡± thought Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°As you¡¯re such an obedient and well-behaved little brother, I¡¯ll apany you for a while,¡± Chen Wanxin said and walked together with Lin Wenxi. She was pleased since her n worked. She had whispered to Lin Wenxi to give him a hint that they could pretend to read the map wrong and set on different paths at the junction of the three roads ahead. She thought,¡±I was a little surprised and worried when Zhao Yuan shouted, ¡®Attention.¡± Fortunately, Lin Wenxi cooperatated with me very well.


    ¡°And Zhao Yuan didn¡¯t choose to chase after Lin Wenxi.¡± With this in mind, she smiled with satisfaction.


    When they were walking together, Chen Yuxin asked Lin Wenxi about his family. Lin Wenxi told her that he was the only child of an ordinary family, his father was an ordinary government employee and his mother was a frence writer. ording to him, none of his rtives were wealthy or powerful. Throughout the conversation, Lin Wenxi refused to tell Chen Wanxin his father¡¯s name.


    Upon hearing that, Chen Yuxin began to wonder.


    ¡°When I first came to this university and saw Lin Wenxi, he was dressed in ordinary clothes but looked outstanding. I somehow found him very special. I asked him to kiss me during the military training before. I just wanted to tease him and y a prank on him. To my surprise, he turned down my request. What he said today is his real background?


    ¡°That¡¯s impossible! Such an elegant and refined young man does not look like a child of an ordinary family at all. If he was really brought up in an ordinary family, he would never be able to get recruited by this university. Wang Xiang said that the reason Lin Wenxi looks so cold and detached is that he has seen through the vanity of life, but I don¡¯t think so. He just likes to observe what¡¯s going on around him before he decides what to do next.


    ¡°He¡¯s like a vignt animal in a dark jungle, always calm and observant.


    ¡°Wait, do I just think too much? Do I overestimate him?¡±

 Chapter 27 (Stay here and Keep an Eye on My Backpack) Wanxin Scheme Against Wenxi

    <h4>Chapter 27 (Stay here and Keep an Eye on My Backpack) Wanxin Scheme Against Wenxi</h4>


    Chen Wanxin talked andughed all along the way and told Lin Wenxi something about her family.


    ording to her, her father was a low-ranked official, and her family ran a small business. Throughout the conversation, she never told him what kind of official he father was or what kind of business her family ran. Obviously, she did not n to let him know. He did not ask her for more details, as he only cared about the things that were important to him.


    Lin Wenxi and Chen Yuxin helped each other all along the way. After a morning¡¯s trek, Chen Wanxin expressed her concern about Lin Wenxi¡¯s health, and then they found a ce to sit down and have a rest. Chen Wanxin asked Lin Wenxi to keep an eye on her backpack and shyly said that she had to leave for a moment.


    Lin Wenxi looked at her inquiringly. She had a blush on her cheek and said, ¡°I have to use the toilet.¡±


    ¡°I see,¡± Lin Wenxi responded and turned around. It was time for him to take medicine now. He felt much better after working up a sweat today, but to his surprise, he somehow felt chilled to the bone at this ce that Chen Wanxin chose. It was very windy and cold here.


    After staying at the ce for a while, Lin Wenxi could not help but sneeze. Chen Wanxin still did note back.


    He opened his backpack and took out a wool sweater, which Shu Xiaoman had wedged into his backpack back in the depot. ording to her, she had managed to get this sweater from a boy student by making eyes at him.


    Lin Wenxi put it on, but the next moment he felt somewhat hot and took it off. After taking it off, he felt chilled by the wind again. He was dejected and wanted to leave this ce as soon as possible. However, he could not leave now as he had promised to take care of Chen Wanxin¡¯s backpack. He was always faithful to his promise.


    Lin Wenxin could not help but wondered, ¡°Does anything happens to her?¡±


    Zhang Dong stood behind some trees at a distance, staring coldly at the back of Chen Wanxin. asionally, he would shift his gaze to Lin Wenxi, who was still waiting for the girl.


    The ce where Lin Wenxi stayed now was located in a valley between two mountains, which ran in a north-south direction and was well ventted. As it waste autumn now, winds often originated in the north and blowed toward the south. Once there was a wind, this ce would be extremely windy and cold. Experienced travelers would never choose such a ce to take a rest.


    Zhang Dong discovered that since leaving Lin Wenxi, Chen Wanxin had been ying with her cellphone while leaning against a tree. Sometimes, he could see her stick her head out to look at Lin Wenxi, who was shivering with cold.


    Zhang Dong smiled and wondered, ¡°What¡¯s she up to? Is she just crotchety? What an unruly girl!¡± The next moment, when he noticed the coldness and slyness on her face, he frowned and walked to Lin Wenxi.


    He put one hand into his pants pocket, grabbed his belt with the other hand and ced a foot on a stone while questioning Lin Wenxi with a grim face. ¡°You¡¯d better hurry up. What¡¯re you doing here?¡±


    Lin Wenxi, who felt grateful for Zhang Dong¡¯s help all along the way, nodded smilingly to him and then could not help but cough. He nced around, looking for Chen Wanxin.


    He sighed slightly and sat down while replying, ¡°I¡¯m waiting for her.¡±


    Upon hearing that, Zhang Dong slightly clenched his fists.


    ¡°As your military instructor for the third-roundpetition, I¡¯m obliged to urge you to advance at full speed!¡± Zhang Dong looked grim and gave Lin Wenxi a long, hard stare.


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait a little longer,¡± Lin Wenxi remained seated and said with a shiver because of the cold.


    The military instructor looked into Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes and thought, ¡°He¡¯s still stubborn and simple like before, but why does he look somewhat restless and uneasy now? He probably has a hard time growing up during these years.¡± Zhang Dong sat behind Lin Wenxi, lost in thought. As he used his body to block the wind for Lin Wenxi, Lin Wenxi suddenly felt warm.


    ¡°Thank you,¡± Lin Wenxi whispered.


    Zhang Dong sat quietly and thought, ¡°Don¡¯t say that. I¡¯m willing to die ten thousand deaths to make it up to you.¡± He stared at Chen Wanxin who was still behind the trees. After a while, Chen Wanxin walked out a little bit hastily and smilingly spoke to Lin Wenxi, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I lost my bread (pad). I could only use some leaves.¡±


    Lin Wenxi was confused and wondered, ¡°What bread? Isn¡¯t her bread in her backpack?¡± Despite that, he did not ask anything. He gave Chen Wanxin¡¯s backpack to her, and then they started to eat lunch together. Chen Wanxin took out some light green sauce and smeared it over Lin Wenxi¡¯s biscuits. Lin Wenxi ate them and found the sauce very tasty. He couldn¡¯t help but smile and asked, ¡°What¡¯s this?¡±


    Chen Wanxin was a little surprised. Zhang Dong coughed meaningfully.


    ¡°This is sd dressing. Haven¡¯t you eaten any sd before?¡± Chen Wanxin said smilingly. She picked Lin Wenxi¡¯s hands up and looked at them. He had long and slender fingers, and his nails were well manicured. She wondered, ¡°He doesn¡¯t look like a hardworking country boy, but howe he has never eaten any sd? Is it because his family sticks to asian cuisine or because they¡¯re too poor to afford even some sd dressing?¡±


    Lin Wenxi shook his head without saying a word. After that, he grabbed Chen Wanxin¡¯s hands and said solemnly, ¡°We have to set off now.¡±


    They waved to Zhang Dong and then quickly set off. Zhang Dong followed them closely and looked around. He was surprised that he could not see Luo Yang, Chen Wanxin¡¯s military instructor. He thought, ¡°Where is Luo Yang? Why does he feel so assured to let his student to travel alone? But he really doesn¡¯t have to worry much about this Chen Wanxin.¡±


    At night, Lin Wenxi and Chen Wanxin spotted two weird things on the ground. Upon seeing them, Chen Wanxin got scared, her face pale. Lin Wenxi, however, could not help but snicker. They were two paper tes, each of them with a bleeding eye drawn on it.


    Days ago, Zhao Yuan had put them into the two holes in his tent to scare Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman. When the two girls sneaked to his tent in the quiet night and turned their shlight on, they were frightened to death and shrilled. As Zhao Yuan had stuffed his ears and Lin Wenxi¡¯s ears with cotton balls beforehand, they did not get tortured very much by the noise.


    Upon seeing this pair of bleeding eyes again, Lin Wenxi felt somewhat apologetic toward the two girls and thought, ¡°Since that time, they¡¯ve never dared to approach our tent again. When Zhao Yuan asked me to draw a pair of eyes on these paper tes, I somehow felt prankish and drew these bleeding eyes to scare them. Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman just like to gossip. They¡¯re in fact quite nice and kind girls, and it¡¯s really happier to travel with them being around.¡±


    The next moment, he noticed that this pair of paper eyes are neatly ced together and their inner corners pointed toward the same direction. He thought, ¡°These paper eyes were not inadvertently dropped by Zhao Yuan. He must¡¯ve ced them here for a reason.¡±


    Lin Wenxi went to the ce the eyes pointed at and then found a pile of several stones. Beside the stones, he found two fried fish and a bottle of green sauce under several big leaves. He opened the lid of the bottle to smell the thick liquid. It smelt somewhat bitter and somewhat fragrant. He thought that this green sauce was probably some kind of herbal medicine.


    Lin Wenxi felt sad upon thinking that he still had to take some bitter medicine, but then he felt pleased upon thinking of Zhao Yuan. He drank the green sauce up and smiled. He thought, ¡°It tastes somewhat spicy and sweet. But why didn¡¯t he leave me a note to tell me how to take this medicine?¡±


    He picked up the two fried fish and went toward his tent. When he was about to enter his tent, he stopped for a while and then asked Chen Wanxin toe out. He gave her a fried fish.


    ¡°They are left here by Zhao Yuan,¡± Lin Wenxi said smilingly and then returned to his tent.


    The fried fish was cold now, but it still tasted good. Chen Wanxin was happy to have some fish and thought cheerfully, ¡°Zhao Yuan never forgets to take care of me and Lin Wenxi even when he¡¯s busy traveling. Wait, it was Lin Wenxi who found the fish. Why not me?¡± Chen Wanxin felt dejected.

 Chapter 28 (Take Me to the River) Lin Wenxi Is Determined to Walk Alone

    <h4>Chapter 28 (Take Me to the River) Lin Wenxi Is Determined to Walk Alone</h4>


    The next morning, Chen Wanxin looked listless, since she had been perplexed for a whole night by the thought that Zhao Yuan had left the fish only for Lin Wenxi instead of her. Lin Wenxi, however, looked energetic since he had a good sleep after taking the medicine left by Zhao Yuan. It turned out to be very effective in curing the cold. As such, Lin Wenxi helped Chen Wanxin a lot during the trip that day.


    In the evening, Lin Wenxi spent a lot time looking for a camping ground. Chen Wanxin could tell that he was anxiously looking for something. At 10:00 pm. Chen Wanxin stood behind Lin Wenxi with a bottle of green sauce in hand. She stared coldly at him, inserted it into the soil and stepped heavily on it.


    Lin Wenxi found an extinguished campfire and a t rock used for cooking here. He could tell that they were left by Zhao Yuan, but he failed to notice two specially made hooks on the rock. Zhao Yuan had often tied the hooks on his ropes and let the girls prepare the ropes and hooks for him. As such, Chen Wanxin spotted the hooks at first nce.


    The two hooks had been ced to point toward another rock. Chen Wanxin had found the ce and taken out all the things left by Zhao Yuan a long time ago.


    Lin Wenxi heard Chen Wanxin stomp her feet. He turned around and asked caringly, ¡°Are you tired?¡±


    Chen Wanxin hesitated for a while and replied, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s time to rest.¡±


    Lin Wenxi still looked anxious. He hesitated for a moment and then quickly pitch up a tent for Chen Wanxin.


    He felt pleased with himself as he thought, ¡°Zhao Yuan often teased me for only being able to get high scores in exams but being useless in the real life. He never knew that I hated thisment. I¡¯ve watched him setting up tents for many times and gotten all the tricks as to how to connect the tent poles, how to insert the poles into the ps to raise the tent and how to stake the tent to the ground for stability. But as he was always ready to help me, I just let him pitch up tents all the time. Now, it seems that I¡¯m good at setting up a tent too.¡± After that, he set up a tent for himself. When he was about to sleep, his stomach growled. He took out a sausage and had a bite while sighing secretly, ¡°Well, it tastes so-so.¡± He started to miss Zhao Yuan¡¯s fried fish.


    He wondered, ¡°Although the fried fish I foundst night was cold, it was still tasty. When did Zhao Yuan fry the fish? What did he think when frying the fish? Wait, where did he get the fish?¡±


    Lin Wenxi took out the map and read it carefully. The main road was clear to see. If a student had good physical stamina, he or she could run along the road to reach the destination early. Lin Wenxi also found the Yinshui River on the map. It flowed past a high mountain and then into a group of low hills. As long as there were no great waterfalls along the river, it would be a shortcut leading to the destination, not to mention that there might be some pontoon bridges built by the vigers which could help the traveler to reach the destination earlier.


    ¡°As Zhao Yuan was determined to be ranked among the top three, he must have chosen the shortcut. Besides, as he can manage to leave fried fish for me, he must be walking along the river. He came back to this road to leave me the fried fish. He must be pressed for time. Ah, the fried fish.¡± Lin Wenxi thought and started to feel hungry and restless.


    ¡°Will he go fishing at night? He will be tired out if he continues to travel in this way.¡± With this in mind, Lin Wenxi decided to set off to find Zhao Yuan. He got up and went to find Chen Wanxin.


    He woke Chen Wanxin up and told her that he had to set off now as he was worried that some other students had already surpassed them. He lied to her that he had heard some people talking and walking past just now. Chen Wanxin covered her mouth which was filled with fried fish now while staying inside her tent. She did not stop Lin Wenxi. She just asked him to be careful and then smilingly put some fish into her mouth.


    She waited for quite a long time until she heard another person leave the ce hurriedly. Knowing that both Lin Wenxi and his military instructor had left, she stepped out of her tent and threw the fish bones away. She bit her lower lip and pulled her coat grumpily while thinking, ¡°Who did you leave the fried fish for? Me or Lin Wenxi!¡±


    After a while, she began blowing a whistle. After hearing three long whistle sounds and two short ones, her military instructor walked out of the darkness. Her military instructor was Luo Yang, a subordinate to Zhang Dong.


    ¡°Luo Yang, I want to be ranked among the top three,¡± Chen Wanxin said with her back toward Luo Yang. She uttered this request in a quitemanding tone.


    ¡°Boss Mo has already nned everything for you. I¡¯ve been waiting for yourmand all the time! I¡¯ll contact him now and ask him to take care of everything,¡± said Luo Yang. A momentter, he lowered his head a little and asked tentatively. ¡°What about Zhang? He seems to disagree.¡±


    ¡°Boss Mo will take care of everything. I don¡¯t need to worry about that. Am I right?¡± Chen Wanxin interjected impatiently. She swished her hand. Luo Yang bowed to her and silently disappeared into the darkness.


    Lin Wenxi groped his way in the dark night and advanced. Everything on the hill was dark except for the shlight in his hand. He could not help but exim in his heart, ¡°It¡¯s so dark. No wonder vigers here can only start work at daybreak and go home at sunset.¡±


    The map showed the Yinshui River but did not show any road leading to the river. As such, Lin Wenxi could only advance toward the Yinshui River through the wood. He somehow heard some people whispering in the darkness and saw a pair of big eyes watching him from above. He raised his shlight toward them and found out that they were nothing but two crooked branches. Usually he would feel sleepy at night, but now, as he was nervous and sweating, he did not feel sleepy at all.


    He wondered, ¡°I suddenly walked away in the middle of the night. Does my military instructor catch up with me? Days ago, he got too drunk in the vige to catch up with us and failed to stop us from climbing the cliff.¡±


    After stumbling along the mountain path for more than an hour, he suddenly felt some cool water vapor blowing across his face. He knew that he was near to the river and could not help but quicken his steps. He was too hasty to notice a crooked cane hanging from above and bumped into it. He fell to the ground and retched violently. Right at this moment, a person approached him. He was scared and moved backward while raising his shlight toward the person. To his surprise, he saw nothing but trees. When he felt frightened and confused, someone patted his shoulder. He screamed with fright and then heard Zhang Dongugh nonchntly. ¡°I used to think that you have only one expression on your face,¡± said Zhang Dong.


    He helped Lin Wenxi stand up and stretched out a hand to rub the dirt and earth off his clothes. Lin Wenxi was a little embarrassed, and his cheeks turned red. Nevertheless, he did not look so panicked now. He looked calm andposed.


    Zhang Dong was going to know how Lin Wenxi behaved when he was calm andposed very soon.


    ¡°Take me to the river,¡± Lin Wenxi uttered a request in amanding tone. Zhang Dong was surprised by his tone in the beginning, but after a moment of thought, he figured it out. He remembered that his little sister would also utter a request in this tone. Unlike Lin Wenxi, his sister would even grab his hands and shake her body every time she acted in a pettishly charming manner.


    Zhang Dong smiled and quickly began to advance. When the road was difficult, he stretched out a hand to pull Lin Wenxi. To his surprise, Lin Wenxi quickly took his hands back the moment he touched his hand. Zhang Dong nearly lost his bnce and fell to the ground because of this.


    ¡°Come on! Snap to it!¡± Zhang Dong grabbed Lin Wenxi and dragged him all the way to the river. The moment they arrived, they heard some loud noise in the air and saw a helicopter fly over their heads. Zhang Dong looked up and saw some yellowish light pass through the window of the helicopter. He shook his head and sighed.

 Chapter 29 (Don’t Poke There) Zhang Dong Scolded Lin Wenxi

    <h4>Chapter 29 (Don¡¯t Poke There) Zhang Dong Scolded Lin Wenxi</h4>


    Lin Wenxi looked at his watch. It was 3:00 am. He hurriedly pitched up his tent to have some rest. Zhang Dong walked back into the wood, nimbly jumped up and climbed up a thriving tree. As the tree had many branches, he put his backpack on some crossed branches and slept with his head on the backpack.


    He squinted his eyes, looking at Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxi mounted his shlight to a tripod holder, letting the light shot toward the slowly flowing river. The river reflected the light back on his calm face. Zhang Dong somehow felt that the night became even quieter because of the calm look on Lin Wenxi¡¯s face. Lin Wenxi rubbed his tent and the hesitantly looked at Zhang Dong.


    Zhang Dong smiled and turned around. He leaped to some other crossed branches of the tree and swiftly wove the smaller branches there into a nest for his head. After that, he tied himself up with two vines to create a swaying hammock for himself. He yawned rxedly and nced sideways at Lin Wenxi. He saw Lin Wenxi run to the tree without saying a word and thought, ¡°Well, he¡¯s still a child.¡±


    Zhang Dong found Lin Wenxi unusually quiet now and wondered, ¡°What is he thinking now?¡±


    ¡°Instructor Zhang?¡± Lin Wenxi said softly. Zhang Dong remained silent.


    ¡°Instructor Zhang.¡± Lin Wenxi raised his voice, but his voice still sounded somewhat squeaky. Zhang Dong was not satisfied with that and still remained silent.


    There was no sound.


    As Zhang Dong was lying with his face toward the sky and his back toward the ground, he could not see Lin Wenxi clearly. Suddenly, he felt a tickle on his nape. He wanted to turn around but failed to do so, since he was tied up by the vines. After that, he felt a tickle in his armpit, on his waist, and then somewhere below his waist... He could not help but tuck his tailbone and thought grumpily, ¡°Sure enough! A man can be killed but can not be humiliated!¡±


    ¡°Lin Wenxi, what¡¯re you doing? Don¡¯t poke my ass!¡± Zhang Dong cried out with a loud voice.


    ¡°I see...¡± Lin Wenxi said and then used the dry twig in his hand to poke Zhang Dong¡¯s back for a few times.


    ¡°What? You did that again! You...¡± Zhang Dong untied himself, grabbed the tip of a branch and jumped down, his face full of anger.


    ¡°You just asked me not to poke your ass...¡± Lin Wenxi said somewhat embarrassedly.


    ¡°If you want to call me, speak louder!¡± Zhang Dong said sternly. Lin Wenxi was stunned. He moved his lips but failed to utter a word.


    ¡°Did your toon leader talk like that in your military training?¡±


    ¡°No!¡± Lin Wenxi straightened his back and replied loudly.


    ¡°Attention!¡±


    Lin Wenxi stood up straight.


    ¡°At ease!¡±


    Lin Wenxi immediately stood at ease.


    ¡°About turn!¡±


    He turned around.


    ¡°Quick march!¡±


    Lin Wenxi marched toward the river, but gradually, he slowed down. The surface of the swelling river, which was about 30 meters in width, was already on a level with the river bank. The river seemed to flow slowly, but Lin Wenxi could clearly see some vortexes in it. He thought, ¡°This river looks quiet on the surface, but the undercurrent beneath the surface must flow very fast. Once I fall into the river, I can never survive even with the help of Zhang Dong.¡¯


    As he got closer and closer to the river, he felt anxious and slowed down.


    ¡°Attention, about turn!¡± shouted Zhang Dong. Lin Wenxi stood upright and then turned around, while feeling the cool vapor blowing on his back and hearing the river roaring behind him.


    ¡°Why did you call me just now?¡± Zhang Dong asked loudly. Lin Wenxi could only hear his voice and could not see him in the dark.


    ¡°Instructor Zhang!¡± Lin Wenxi replied loudly.


    ¡°Why did you call me?¡±


    ¡°I want to...¡± Lin Wenxi stuttered.


    ¡°About turn! Quick march!¡± Zhang Dong shouted.


    Lin Wenxi turned around, took a step forward, and then took another step forward, feeling hesitant. Now, he was only about one meter away from the rushing river. Within three steps, he would end up in the river. With this in mind, he could not help but shudder with fear.


    ¡°About turn!¡± Zhang Dong asked Lin Wenxi to stop again. Lin Wenxi stood in the wind and trembled.


    ¡°Why did you call me?¡±


    ¡°Report to Instructor Zhang! I want to sleep in the tree!¡±


    ¡°Why do you want to sleep in the tree?¡±


    ¡°...¡± Lin Wenxi was rendered speechless.


    ¡°About turn!¡± Zhang Dongqing shouted again. Lin Wenxi felt hurt upon hearing his cold voice and thought, ¡°Well, Zhang Dong can never let me die here. He just wants to push me by putting me in this dangerous situation. If I refuse to obey his orders and leave this ce, he¡¯ll probably just deduct my points.¡± The next moment, when Lin Wenxi thought of the stern look on Zhang Dong¡¯s face, his nting eyebrows and his determined mouth, he somehow felt that he could never disobey Zhang Dong.


    He turned back again and replied loudly, ¡°Because it¡¯s fun!¡±


    ¡°Dismiss!¡± Zhang Dongmanded and set Lin Wenxi free. Lin Wenxi stumbled forward with his wobbly legs, and when he managed to return to the tree, his legs were still shaking.


    Zhang Dong nimbly climbed up the tree, tied a few vines to a branch of the tree and then cast them down for Lin Wenxi. He grabbed the vines and slid down to hold Lin Wenxi up. Lin Wenxi grabbed the vines and tried his best to climb up. As the vines twined too tightly around his arms, he felt really hurt. His military instructor, however, just ignored all his pains and climbed up the tree again. After resting in the tree for a while, Zhang Dong heard Lin Wenxi fall to the ground and groan.


    After a long time, Lin Wenxi finally climbed up the tree and panted heavily. Zhang Dong was a little surprised and gazed at Lin Wenxi. He thought of the strong-willed boy during the military parade again. ¡°Back then, Lin Wenxi insisted on leaving the formation and practicing alone. Now, he seems to have fully recovered from his illness. It¡¯s great to see him act like this than see him lying on the bed all day long,¡± Zhang Dong thought pleasedly.


    Zhang Dong taught Lin Wenxi how to build a ¡°bird nest¡± to rest his head on and how to tie himself up with vines. He taught him to tie a slipknot and put a finger into the loop to stop it from untying during sleep. By doing so, they could also untie the knot rapidly if there was an emergency. When they got ready to sleep, the day had begun to break. Lin Wenxi set his rm and fell back on his swaying hammock made of branches and vines, feeling rxed andfortable.


    Not long after he closed his eyes, he was woken up by his rm and opened his eyes again. It was a quiet and misty morning. The mountains and rivers in the distance evoked his memories of ink-wash paintings, and the wood on the top of the mountain was covered with golden sunshine. A bird skimmed the surface of the Yinshui River, leaving some ripples behind, which looked like a smile on the surface of the river.


    Lin Wenxi felt great while enjoying the scenery. He yawned and breathed some fresh air. It was 5:30 am. He felt energetic, although he had slept for only about one hour.


    He looked at Instructor Zhang. Hey on his back with one knee bent, looking vignt during his sleep. He frowned slightly. It seemed that he had heard his rm but still did not want to open his eyes. Lin Wenxi wondered, ¡°He¡¯s probably a student from the Army Civilian Police Academy in the other city. He looks about 23 or 24 years old. What kind of life does he live?


    ¡°ording to Zhao Yuan, the reason Zheng Kai is equipped with so many extraordinary skills is that he¡¯s a graduate from the Green Fields Military Academy. He said that the academy trains its students strictly. As to this Zhang Dong, he has probably never showed his full strength in front of us.¡±


    Gradually, Zhang Dong stopped frowning and did not look so grim as usual. Lin Wenxi smiled slightly upon seeing that. He remembered how Zhang Dong had jumped down the tree with a brand in his hand. As he was deeply impressed by the movement, he wanted to try it by himself.


    Lin Wenxi struggled to stand up and jumped off the branch, while grabbing another branch in hand.


    To his surprise, before hended on the ground, he felt that the branch in his hand could not be bent anymore and was about to bounce back. He wanted to release that branch but felt hesitant. The next moment, the bent branch bounced back, sending him up into the air.


    ¡°I¡¯m flying now...¡± Lin Wenxi thought when he was sent up into the air. After that, when he fell down toward Instructor Zhang, he was too frightened to scream. He quickly bumped into the military instructor, and his knee smacked into something soft between the military instructor¡¯s thighs. Zhang Dong groaned with pain and curled up. In the end, both of them started to slide down the tree toward the ground.


    Lin Wenxi felt that this was his mistake and wanted to get behind Zhang Dong to protect him from hitting the ground directly. Nevertheless, before he could move, Zhang Dong had already held his waist with one hand and grabbed a branch with another hand to slide down to the ground.


    When theynded, Zhang Dong tried to stand up straight but failed and bent down. The next moment, he tried to stand up again, but failed one more time.


    ¡°Uhm... I¡¯m sorry... It¡¯s the first time that I¡¯ve tried this new skill...¡± Lin Wenxi scratched his head and said bashfully, waiting for Zhang Dong to punish him.


    ¡°That¡¯s alright... It¡¯s always great for you... to learn new things.¡± Zhang Dong forced a smile to Lin Wenxi and then said with a solemn face. ¡°But you can¡¯t try something new regardless of the consequences. And you can¡¯t be hesitant when it¡¯s time for you to make a decision. If we were on the battlefield, you would identally kill the brothers around you. Do you understand?¡±


    Lin Wenxi could not fully understand Zhang Dong¡¯s idea but he still nodded his head

 Chapter 30 (Where Are Your Smiles) A Boy Listening to the Rain

    <h4>Chapter 30 (Where Are Your Smiles) A Boy Listening to the Rain</h4>


    ¡°Your military instructor is talking to you. How can you be absent-minded?¡± Zhang Dong shouted and came at Lin Wenxi with ws. Lin Wenxi screamed and ran away. While running, he often looked back at Instructor Zhang, who still could not stand up straight and could only staggered along the way. Lin Wenxiughed, and at that moment, a beam of sunshine happened to light up his face, making his smile look exceptionally bright.


    Zhang Dong was stunned upon seeing thatughing face. He quickened his steps to catch Lin Wenxi and lifted his fist. Lin Wenxi curled up upon seeing that, and then he felt that something was flicked off his head. The next moment, he saw a dried leaf falling down from his forehead. He looked back at Zhang Dong while beaming brightly.


    ¡°Listen, if you want to talk, just say aloud. If you want to do something, just go for it. Don¡¯t be overcautious!¡± Zhang Dong shouted to Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi nodded earnestly.


    Zhang Dong lowered his voice and added, ¡°And if you want tough, you have to open your mouth andugh out loud. It¡¯s a happy thing. Why do you hide your emotions all the time. You can¡¯t evenugh naturally.¡± While saying this, he took out his cellphone to scan the photos.


    He had taken these photos of his students in groups or individually during the military training, and the young people on the photos all beamed brightly and never concealed their true emotions except for Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxin just curled his lips up to force a smile. Once he erged the photo to look at Lin Wenxi¡¯s face, he could tell that there was no emotion shown on it at all.


    ¡°Where are your smiles?¡± Zhang Dong asked in a deep voice.


    Upon hearing the question, Lin Wenxi looked somber and was lost in thought. ¡°Where are my smiles? I remember that I smiled a lot when I was a naughty little boy.


    ¡°Back then, I used to pluck all the colorful tail feathers of a rooster raised by ourndlord to please myself. After losing those feathers, that rooster seemed to know how ugly it became and refused toe out of his nest again. As such, it just crowed in its nest every day.


    ¡°I also hated my neighbor¡¯s screaming cat very much and mixed some 520 adhesive into its food to glue its mouth. The cat got anxious and scratched its own face with its ws. In the end, the cute white cat lost all the hair on its face.


    ¡°Like the other children in the courtyard where I lived, I would throw some firecrackers into the cow dung to scare the passers-by. The passers-by would grumpily go toin to my parents with smelly cow dung on the clothes. My father would scold me and even beat me for doing such mischief, but my mother would usually try her best to protect me. However, sometimes, when I was too naughty, my mother would not stop my father from flogging me mercilessly with his leather belt.


    ¡°My father was exceptionally strict. The other children¡¯s parents would just force them to go to visit and apologize to the passers-by or pinch their butts for punishment. They would just cry for a while after being punished, and then everything would be alright for them. However, once I did something wrong, the others would look coldly at me and whispered, ¡®His father is an official.¡¯ Maybe that was why my father was so strict. When I made mistakes, he would ask me to kneel down on the floor, on the ridged surface of a washboard, on some rods or even on a rock for at least one hour. I used to think that my parent adored me until being flogged unconscious by my father one day. After that day, I did not want to y together with the other children anymore, since once I yed with them, I would probably make a mistake. I would get punished and beaten up for those mistakes.


    ¡°Gradually, the children in the courtyard seemed to know something and every time they saw me, they would flee.


    ¡°Once I caught a little boy and asked him why. He replied while trembling, ¡®My mother said that your father was a good official. She warned us not to teach you any bad habit.''¡±


    Lin Wenxi sighed secretly, ¡°Yes, some people said that my father was a good official, and some would just stare coldly at me once I made a mistake. As my father was an official, I was different. All I wanted back then was to y and ran together with the other children in the courtyard, but I could only read or even recite some books at home.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been lonely since my childhood.¡±


    The next moment, Lin Wenxi thought of Fangfang. ¡°No, I still had Fangfang to y together with me. He was a little older than me and taught me many interesting things when we yed together in the mountains and in the rivers. He taught me how to recognize edible wild fruits and vegetables, and his mother was very good at cooking and often invited me to have a meal together with them. Fangfang¡¯s home was well-furnished and nicely-decorated. It didn¡¯t look like a country house at all. My father was afraid that I would find vanity appealing if I often yed with Fangfang, so he wanted to stop me from ying with him. Fortunately, my mother would agree to let me go to Fangfang¡¯s home to have a meal as long as I promised to wash dishes for them after the meal. Fangfang was nice to me. He would ask me to enter the kitchen together with him and wash all dishes by himself. After that, he would tell everyone that it was me who washed them.


    ¡°Fangfang¡¯s mother knew everything, but she never told this to anyone. She even told the others that I was a very considerate child and often helped her wash dishes and do housework.


    ¡°My mother would never let me y together with Fangfang before I finished my homework. As such, I tried my best to finish my homework well and even recite poems under the moon every night just to get a chance to y with Fangfang during the day.


    ¡°It was fun to y together with Fangfang. He could recognize herbs and find many tasty things in the wilderness. We ate the red fruit in March and edible hawthorn leaves and ferns in April. We picked raspberry, mulberry and bamboo shoots in May and wild fruits and lotus seeds in June and July. When it was autumn, we could eat some wild grapes and a special herb called ¡®without sorrow¡¯ in August and had some other wild fruits and chestnuts in the other autumn months.


    ¡°Sometimes, Fangfang would take me to a wood and lie on the ground to watch wide gooses fly across thete autumn sky toward the south. In December, when it snowed, I would insert my hand into his pocket to warm it while watching snowkes falling down quietly. When he threw a snowball at my head andughed, I would chase after him, trying to get back at him. Fangfang was almost my whole world back then.


    ¡°Unfortunately, he moved away after spending just one year with me.


    ¡°Not long after he moved away, my family moved into the city and I went to a primary school in the city. Every time I sat quietly inside my ssroom and looked out at a por tree, I would think of the tree that I nted together with Fangfang. I would wonder how tall it was and who woulde to take care of it in the rain.


    ¡°Back in the school, I always achieved outstanding scores and excelled at every subject. I was quiet, too quiet, but both the teachers and my parents liked a quiet child.


    ¡°Later, I went to a middle school and met the most disgusting thing in my life. Because of it, I became emotionally closed off.


    ¡°I can never understand why this thing happened to me. It¡¯s hurtful and disgusting. After that incident, I went home dejectedly and sealed myself off.


    ¡°Six yearster, I came to this university.¡±

 Chapter 31 (Just Want to Make You Laugh) Zhang Dong Tricked Lin Wenxi into Laughing out Loud

    <h4>Chapter 31 (Just Want to Make You Laugh) Zhang Dong Tricked Lin Wenxi into Laughing out Loud</h4>


    Lin Wenxi looked at the photo silently, and gradually came out of his trance.A drop of tear flowed down his face and fell to the screen of Zhang Dong¡¯s cellphone. He wiped it off the screen and lifted up his head to look at the sky. By doing so, he stopped himself from crying. After that, he looked at Zhang Dong with a smile.


    ¡°Come on. Be a man! When you want to cry, just cry. And when you want tough, justugh,¡± Zhang Dong tightly held Lin Wenxi¡¯s shoulders, his hands somewhat trembling.


    ¡°Well, I remember!¡± Lin Wenxi replied smilingly. His smile was as bright as the clear blue sky.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take a photo of you. You have tough out loud!¡± Zhang Dong smiled and lifted up his cellphone, with his camera focus on Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi raised a hand to make a V-sign and smiled slightly.


    ¡°That¡¯s not good enough. Let¡¯s try again.¡±


    Lin Wenxi sat on the ground, tilted his head and looked at Zhang Dong.


    ¡°Cut! Try again.¡±


    Lin Wenxi was a little embarrassed. After a moment of thought, he raised a hand and gave a thumb-up to Zhang Dong. He tried his best to smile at his military instructor, but Zhang Dong was still not satisfied.


    They stood up and continued to walk. Lin Wenxi walked silently in the front, and Zhang Dong closely followed him.


    ¡°What the f*ck!¡± Zhang Dong suddenly cursed.


    Upon hearing that, Lin Wenxi turned around and saw that one of Zhang Dong¡¯s feet was stuck in the mud. Zhang Dong hastily pulled the foot out, but his shoe was still stuck there. He was anxious and lost his bnce, so he stepped into the mud again. His ck sock was smeared all over with some yellowish and whitish mud. Zhang Dong looked so embarrassed, and Lin Wenxi could not help butugh out loud. Suddenly, he heard a camera shutter sound.


    Zhang Dongxin looked at the photo with satisfaction and then put the cellphone away. He squatted down to pick up his shoe and put it on. After that, he urged Lin Wenxi to advance.


    ¡°Show me the photo,¡± Lin Wenxi was a little displeased and said.


    ¡°I¡¯ll show you the photo when youugh out loud again. I promise,¡± Zhang inserted his hand into his pants pocket and said.


    ¡°Hah-hah-hah!¡± Lin Wenxi burst intoughter. A fish was startled by him and jumped out of the water and then fell back into it.


    Zhang Dong gave Lin Wenxi the cellphone, and Lin Wenxi saw his photo. He grinned, revealing his white teeth. His eyes were ck and shiny. Upon seeing the photo, Lin Wenxi could not help but smile. He returned the cellphone to Zhang Dong and skipped forward.


    Zhang Dong was a little surprised upon seeing that and thought, ¡°What? He¡¯s skipping forward? He¡¯s at least 17 or 18 years old now. Does he reveal his true self now? That¡¯s adorable. I remember that on that day, he also skipped all along the way while carrying a little school bag on his back.¡±


    When Lin Wenxi stopped to read the map, he frowned and started to miss Wang Xiang. When Zhang Dong came close to him, he stopped frowning and let his military instructor tell him where to go.


    Suddenly, Lin Wenxi thought of something and asked worriedly, ¡°Does this count as cheating?¡±


    ¡°Well, in fact, I think this trip is too hard for you guys, Even a real soldier can hardlyplete this trip. Doesn¡¯t your university worry that you¡¯ll fall off some cliff and die? Jifu University is just ridiculous and disgusting! As your military instructor, I¡¯m obliged to tell you how to avoid such risks and dangers!¡± Zhang Dong said solemnly. The next moment, he calmed down, pressed a button on his pager and shouted toward it. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with this f*cking stupid pager? The signales on and off all the time!¡±


    Lin Wenxi curiously looked at the pager, and Zhang Dong pressed another button on it.


    Lin Wenxi was stunned and looked at Zhang Dong, as now he knew that this pager was an anti-cheating device used to record conversations between the military instructor and his students.


    ¡°Did it record what I said just now?¡± Lin Wenxi asked anxiously.


    Zhang Dong put an index finger to his lips indicating silence and then yed the recording. The pager recorded Zhang Dong¡¯s curse but did not record their conversation before that. Lin Wenxi smiled with relief. He thought of something else and asked, ¡°We used to set off at night, but at such times, you were always able to catch up with us. How did you do that? Did you stay awake all night long to keep a close watch on us?¡±


    ¡°OF course... You know what, You should know when to stop asking questions!¡± Zhang Dong reprimanded Lin Wenxi, and Lin Wenxi could not help but lower his head. The next moment, Zhang Dong cheerfully took out a tracer. On the tracer, there were a green spot and a red spot. He pressed some buttons to turn the tracer on and then signalled Lin Wenxi to walk to a tree which was not very far away from them. Lin Wenxi walked toward the tree and after a while, he heard the tracer ring. A voice called out, ¡°The target is moving. The target is moving.¡± Zhang Dong pressed some buttons again, and the tracer quieted down.


    Upon seeing that, Lin Wenxi thought, ¡°Oh, that¡¯s why he could always catch up with us. Once we stopped to take a rest, he would turn the tracer on to trace us. Once we started to move, the tracer would ring.¡±


    Lin Wenxi gave a thumb-up to Zhang Dong and whispered, ¡°High-tech.¡±


    Zhang Dong gave a thumb-up back to Lin Wenxi, pointed to his cheeks and grinned. Lin Wenxi revealed an understanding smile.


    Lin Wenxi seemed to be looking for something all along the way. Once he spotted an extinguished campfire, he would be very excited and go to search the area around the extinguished campfire. After a while, he would calm down and look disappointed.


    ¡°What¡¯re you looking for?¡± Zhang Dong was curious.


    Lin Wenxi took out a green medicine bottle, opened it and put it under Zhang Dong¡¯s nose.


    ¡°Cinnamon juice. It can warm your body and cure kidney weakness. Do you have such a problem?¡± Zhang Dong teased.


    Lin Wenxi shook his head and silently put away the bottle.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll stop teasing you. Cinnamon juice can cure cold. No wonder you recovered from the cold so fast.¡± Zhang Dong smiled meaningfully and added, ¡°Who cares so much about you? It¡¯s not Zheng Kai. It must be Zhao Yuan.¡±


    Lin Wenxi¡¯s cheeks flushed red. He shrugged his shoulders without saying a word and behaved like a sassy, streetwise boy. Zhang Dong had never seen Lin Wenxi behave like this before. He could not help but pinch the boy¡¯s face andugh out loud.


    After sleeping in trees for two nights, Lin Wenxi felt tired out. He felt as if his bones had fallen apart. Upon thinking that Zhang Dong had slept in trees all these days, he felt perplexed about why his military instructor abused himself in this way. He looked at Zhang Dong¡¯s backpack and found out that his tent bag was gone.


    ¡°How did you lose your tent bag?¡± asked Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°When did I bump into you?¡± Zhang Dong smiled and asked.


    Lin Wenxi suddenly realized what had happened and gradually lowered his head, while thinking,¡±I left all of a suddente at night. To ensure my safety, Zhang Dong had to catch up with me as soon as possible. He might not have enough time to pack his tent. Or he just thought that I left to take a walk around the ce and never expected me to travel at night.¡±


    ¡°Thank you,¡± Lin Wenxi whispered.


    ¡°You¡¯re wee. To repay my kindness, when you pitch up a tent tonight, you should let me sleep together with you.¡± Zhang Dong patted Lin Wenxi¡¯s shoulder and said directly.


    Lin Wenxi shook his head slowly while thinking, ¡°I had no choice but to sleep together with Zhao Yuan before. If I sleep together with my military instructor tonight, I¡¯ll be a promiscuous bitch who is able to sleep with any man. Wait, how can I describe myself as a bitch?¡± Lin Wenxi could not help butugh.


    ¡°Well, I¡¯ll sleep in the tent tonight, and you sleep in a tree,¡± Zhang Dong added.


    Lin Wenxi thought that Zhang Dong was just joking. To his surprise, at night, Zhang Dong really set up the tent and invited him to sleep together. Zhang Dong smiled meaningfully at Lin Wenxi, and Lin Wenxi looked a little embarrassed.


    Beyond Zhang Dong¡¯s expectations, Lin Wenxi walked away and clumsily climbed up a tree. He wove some branches and vines into a hammock in his ungainly way and slept on it.


    Lin Wenxi slept in trees for two consecutive nights, when Zhang Dong slept in his tent. As he had a hard time sleeping in the cold and windy nights, he looked listless during the day. Despite that, he still insisted on running all the way. Upon seeing that, Zhang Dong felt confused and wondered, ¡°Why does Lin Wenxi work so hard? Does he really want to be ranked among the top three? Or does he work so hard for another reason?¡±

 Chapter 32 (My Destination Is You) The Destination for Lin Wenxi

    <h4>Chapter 32 (My Destination Is You) The Destination for Lin Wenxi</h4>


    Lin Wenxi sessively received calls from Wang Xiang, Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman during his trip. Some of them expressed concerns about his health, and some of them asked him what rank he thought he could get in the end. Wang Xiang teased him, ¡°Have you copsed to the ground?¡±


    Zhang An¡¯an kept him asking if he was still sleeping together with Zhao Yuan in the same tent every night. When she knew that Zhao Yuan had left Lin Wenxi alone, she shouted in disbelief, ¡°No way. That¡¯s impossible.¡± Shu Xiaoman told him that they had returned to Jifu University and continued their miliary training there. Sheined that she was a little bored with this training and said meaningfully, ¡°Wenxi, when youe back, we¡¯ll have lots of fun. Hah-hah-hah.¡± Upon hearing her dreadfulughter, Lin Wenxi was so scared that his heart began to race. He immediately hung up the phone.


    Tonight was the third night when Lin Wenxi slept on a tree alone. When Zhang Dong was awakened by a loud noise nearby and climbed out of the tent, he saw Lin Wenxi curl up on the ground. Evidently, the boy had just fallen from the tree. Fortunately, as his backpack offset some of the impact, he was not just scared and not injured.


    Zhang Dong kicked hard on Lin Wenxi¡¯s back, and thetter was startled by having the pain and immediately stood up. He threw Zhang Dong an angry nce, returned to the tree and tried to climb up the tree again.


    ¡°If we were in a war now, you would have to sleep in the grave together with skeletons and the ghosts! Do you really think you have to be clean?¡± Zhang Dong kicked Lin Wenxi to force him kneel on the ground and poured mud on him. Lin Wenxi felt that his head was smeared with mud and hurriedly stood up. Zhang Dong kicked him again and made him copse to the ground. He used his hands to cover his head, gritted his teeth and let Zhang Dong continue to pour mud on him. When Lin Wenxi was smeared all over with mud, Zhang Dong dragged him all the way into the tent.


    Lin Wenxiy on his side, his shoulders trembling. Zhang Dong propped his head with one folded arm, gazed at the boy for a moment and then closed his eyes while clenching his fists. He thought, ¡°Now he looks just like before... If it is wrong, just let it be!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m never worried about being dirty. And you¡¯re never dirty,¡± Zhang Dong said softly while embracing Lin Wenxi from behind. After a long time, Lin Wenxi finally stopped trembling. Zhang Dong had a lot of thoughts that night, and even he himself did not know whether he fell asleep.


    Because of that night, Lin Wenxi sessfully got rid of his old habit of never sharing a bed with anyone. That night, when he was covered with mud and thought dejectedly that he had never been so dirty before, someone told him that he was never dirty.


    When they set off the next morning, Lin Wenxi could not remember how many days he had kept running on the road, as he slept for less than three hours for several nights on the trot. Now, when he traversed hills and waded across rivers, he was never worried about getting dirty. He even did not care much about taking off his shirt in front of Zhang Dong. He washed his clothes in the river and dried it by putting it in the sun.


    Zhang Dong squinted at his body and smiled. ¡°Your skin is so white.¡± Lin Wenxi replied, ¡°You look really tan.¡±


    Zhang Dong approached Lin Wenxi, grabbed the boy¡¯s hand and put it on his chest while saying, ¡°My heart was darkened before, but it¡¯ll not be darkened anymore in the future.¡± Lin Wenxi did not quite understand what his military instructor meant and looked him up and down. Zhang Dong was slim but muscr. His body was covered with scars. His body looked different from that of Zhao Yuan or Zheng Kai. Lin Wenxi believed that only a seasoned soldier could have such a body. He gasped when he saw a long scar on Zhang Dong¡¯s waist. It was clearly left by a knife-cut. He turned his head to the side and said, ¡°It¡¯s not easy to be a soldier. Am I right?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid of looking at these scars. They clearly show many medals I got,¡± Zhang Dong said proudly while sighing in his heart, ¡°I used to hurt someone. I want to make it up to him, but I don¡¯t know if I can do that.¡±


    ¡°Sigh...¡± Lin Wenxi sighed and added, ¡°My father has a driver. He used to be a soldier, and his arms are covered with scars too. You guys really work hard.¡±


    Upon hearing that, Zhang Dong smiled as he felt that Lin Wenxi¡¯s words warmed his heart. The next moment, he decided to y a prank on the cute boy. He patted Lin Wenxi¡¯s back to smear some mud on it. Lin Wenxi wiggled his body and stretched his hands, trying to wipe the mud off. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not touch that part. Upon seeing that, Zhang Dong could not help butugh out loud.


    Suddenly, something flickered within Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes, and then he rapidly ran to an extinguished campfire nearby. When he found some fish bones and warm ashes there, he grinned. ¡°Instructor Zhang,e on, hurry up. We¡¯re almost there!¡±


    Zhang Dong was confused and wondered,¡±We¡¯re almost there? Where? Does he talk about the destination? It¡¯ll take us at least two days to get there. Why does he say that we¡¯re almost there?¡± Lin Wenxi quickly put on his clothes, picked up his backpack and ran away.


    When Zhang Dong caught up with Lin Wenxi again, he knew what the boy had been talking about just now.


    Lin Wenxi suddenly stopped and gazed ahead, looking sad and disappointed. The next moment, he sat on the ground with a nk look on his face. He was tired out as he did not get much sleep this week. Zhang Dong looked ahead and saw Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin in the wood, which was not very far away from them. The boy and the girl sat on a rock and chatted cheerfully while enjoying some fried fish together.


    Lin Wenxi felt as if his head was about to explode as he thought, ¡°Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin stay together and seem to enjoy themselves very much. They¡¯ll probably feel disturbed when seeing me here. Why do I have to try so hard to catch up with him? Why?


    ¡°Wait, why is Chen Wanxin here? Why could she surpass me? Zhang Dong and I ran all the way and slept just a few hours every night. Why?¡±


    Lin Wenxi scratched his head in agony. He just could not figure out why these things happened.


    Suddenly, he thought of that night and the helicopter which had roared and flew above his head. He was surprised and thought, ¡°Was she on that helicopter?¡± He gazed at Chen Wanxin and then saw her smile gradually freeze on her lips.


    Zhao Yuan spread his hands in shrug and said, ¡°It looks like I¡¯ve wasted too much time cooking and eating. Now both Wenxi and Wanxin catch up with me.¡± He was really surprised upon seeing Lin Wenxi¡¯s tired face. He looked Zhang Dong up and down and then looked back at Chen Wanxin suspiciously. After that, he said smilingly, ¡°Well, probably all the roads lead here. Come on, let¡¯s have some fried fish.¡±


    Zhang Dong exchanged a look with Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxi stood up and stepped forward to pick up some fried fish. He grumpily stuffed it into his mouth and felt as if he was chewing some wax. He thought, ¡°I¡¯ve imagined many times how we are going to meet. If Zhao Yuan was fishing just now, I would scare his fish away. If he was frying his fish, I would approach him from behind and cover his eyes with my hands. I¡¯ve even imagined how we bump into each other while hiking at night. Wait, why did I miss him so much?¡± Suddenly, Lin Wenxi thought of a picture that he had seen before. It depicted a donkey chasing a carrot in front of itself. He blurted out, ¡°I¡¯m a donkey.¡±


    Upon hearing that, Zhao Yuan felt puzzled.


    Lin Wenxi took out a green medicine bottle. Zhao Yuan took it and asked smilingly, ¡°Did you find all the bottles?¡±


    Lin Wenxi shook his head, and Chen Wanxin deliberately turned her head to the side to look at somewhere else.


    ¡°You got some of them. Well, that¡¯s alright,¡± Zhao Yuan smiled and said.


    ¡°I found only this one.¡±


    ¡°Well, students after you are lucky to get some free medicine.¡±


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Lin Wenxi said with a smile. He felt relieved after saying this and realized that this was all that he really wanted to tell Zhao Yuan after traveling for these days.


    ¡°Ahem, stop this public disy of affection. Can you guys talk privately?¡± Chen Yuxin said smilingly.


    ¡°Come on, we¡¯ll arrive at the destination within at most two days. Let¡¯s fight!¡± Zhao Yuan stretched a hand toward Lin Wenxi and said with a smile.


    Lin Wenxi shook his head as he suddenly felt exhausted. He said, ¡°I¡¯m tired. I want to have some rest.¡± He looked up at the sky. The sun was setting, and birds were flying toward their nests. He somehow felt as if thispetition was over. He did not care about the destination anymore since he thought that he had already reached his destination.

 Chapter 33 (Watch Your Mouth) Wenxi Got Reprimanded by His Father

    <h4>Chapter 33 (Watch Your Mouth) Wenxi Got Reprimanded by His Father</h4>


    Zhao Yuan touched Lin Wenxi¡¯s forehead and said, ¡°You caught up really quickly, and you recovered fast from the cold too.¡± He turned to look at Zhang Dong and said, ¡°Thank you very much for taking such a good care of my brother, Instructor Zhang.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s alright, both of you are my brothers,¡± Zhang Dong replied inly. After that, he shouted to Zhao Yuan¡¯s military instructor, ¡°You¡¯re really good for nothing. Howe you look even more tired than your student?¡±


    Upon hearing that, Zhao Yuan¡¯s military instructor immediately stood upright and said, ¡°Report to Instructor Zhang. My student never took a shortcut and kept traveling on the main road. He slept for only 3 or 4 hours a day, so did I. However, every day he would make a fire and fry some fish for himself. Besides, he had a good sleep every night before reaching the second depot. Compared to him, since the beginning of this military training, I¡¯ve...¡±


    ¡°Stop making excuses! Don¡¯t forget that you¡¯re a soldier!¡± Zhang Dong shouted.


    The other military instructor stood at attention, saluted to Zhang Dong and then said to his student, ¡°Zhao Yuan, I have to remind you that you¡¯ve rested for a long time here!¡±


    Zhao Yuan thought for a moment and reached out his hand to pull Lin Wenxi, while saying, ¡°If you can just hold on, let¡¯s set off. After all, we¡¯re not far away from the destination now.¡±


    ¡°No. I¡¯m really exhausted.¡± Lin Wenxi waved his hand and added, ¡°You can set off together with Wanxin.¡±


    Chen Wanxin said smilingly, ¡°You¡¯ve just recovered from the cold, but you still ran all the way here. I¡¯m impressed. If I hadn¡¯t taken the shortcut and traveled day and night, I would¡¯ve never been able to surpass you.¡± With these words, she rubbed her eyes. There were evident dark circles around them.


    ¡°Yes, both of us chose the right way,¡± Lin Wenxi said while smiling meaningfully.


    Chen Wanxin felt quite ufortable upon seeing that. She forced a smile and said, ¡°Different people may have different ideas about which is the right way. Many things can¡¯t be weighted by a bnce. I just want to say that the stronger you are, the more fairly the world will treat you.¡± Chen Wanxin regained her natural smile again.


    Lin Wenxi nodded smilingly without saying a word.


    Zhao Yuan was well aware that the shortcut among the hills was a very difficult road. He thought that Chen Wanxin would have never been able to catch up with himself so fast without some special help from her military instructor.


    After a moment of thought, Zhao Yuan looked deeply into Lin Wenxi and said, ¡°Wenxi, I¡¯ll try my best to be ranked among the top three, for you!¡±


    Lin Wenxi nodded and smiled brightly. ¡°Just go now.¡±


    Zhao Yuan felt encouraged. He turned around and set off while saying, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Upon hearing that, Chen Wanxin hurriedly chased after him, and Luo Yang immediately came out of the woods nearby. Zhang Dong stared coldly at Luo Yang, which made thetter feel somewhat embarrassed. He saluted to Zhang Dong and rapidly ran away.


    When they left, Zhang Dong reached out his hand to Lin Wenxi and said, ¡°Do you really think that I¡¯ll let you rest?¡±


    ¡°You can¡¯t force me,¡± Lin Wenxi retorted, his face somber.


    ¡°For me, it¡¯s alright to force anyone to do anything, except for forcing that person to have sex with me!¡± Zhang Dong sneered and pulled Lin Wenxi up.


    ¡°Are you talking about junglew?¡± Lin Wenxi was stunned and asked.


    Zhang Dong kept dragging him forward while saying, ¡°You have to remember. Just mind your own business! Don¡¯t poke your nose into everything!¡±


    ¡°But this is a university, not a jungle! How can she cheat without being caught and punished?¡± Lin Wenxi said grumpily.


    ¡°Yes, this is a university. And you have to grow into a man after getting into a university,¡± said Zhang Dong.


    ¡°I remember that An¡¯an used to tell me... that a boy can grow into a man just after a night,¡± said Lin Wenxi.


    Upon hearing that, Zhang Dong suppressed his urge tough out and continued to drag Lin Wenxi forward, while saying, ¡°Stop talking nonsense!¡± After walking for quite a long time, Zhang Dong finally agreed to let his student have some rest again. Lin Wenxi really wanted to cry now and could not help but sigh in his heart.¡±Why did I choose such a strict and demanding instructor for myself? Is it a blessing or a curse?¡± The next moment, he thought of something else and spoke to Zhang Dong. ¡°I think of something that you can¡¯t force a person to do. You can never force anyone to give you his or her belongings. Otherwise, you¡¯ll be considered a robber.¡± Zhang Dong rolled his eyes at Lin Wenxi and said, ¡°You know what. I¡¯m a robber. Do you have any problem with it?¡±


    Lin Wenxi hurriedly shook his head, while thinking to himself, ¡°Alright, it looks like my military instructor thinks that it¡¯s alright to be a robber. Well, robbers are great. What can I say now...¡± As Lin Wenxi felt really tired and could not walk very fast, Zhang Dong deliberately reduced his walking speed for him. In Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes, what his military instructor did was very heart-warming.


    When Lin Wenxi arrived at the third depot at dusk, he was told that as he was the fifteenth student that arrived here, he was disqualified in thispetition now. He talked with the other students in the depot and learned that Zheng Kai arrived here first, and Zhao Yuan was second to him.


    He looked around, searching for Zhang Dong, and then he saw him enter the military instructors¡¯ lounge. Suddenly, he was surrounded by several girls.


    Theyughed at Lin Wenxi and said, ¡°Which ss are you in? Did you fall into a cesspit or something? You really stink. Why not go to take a shower first?¡±


    Some boys heard that and teased Lin Wenxi. ¡°This buddy really worked hard!¡±


    Lin Wenxi lowered his head in embarrassment and left for a quiet bamboo forest outside without saying a word. This depot was quiterge, and there was arge garden outside the depot building. The roads inside the garden were all paved with gstones and these roads all led to a musical fountain at the center of the garden. Although it was autumn now, the bamboo forest was still green. Lin Wenxi walked into the garden while thinking dejectedly, ¡°What a heartless person. We¡¯ve traveled together for such a long time, but he just left without saying goodbye. Oh, wait, the military training is not over yet. He still has a chance to train me and torture me in the near future.¡± The next moment, he thought of something else. He tightly grabbed his cellphone in his pants pocket so much so that he felt his hand became sweaty. After a while, he finally made up his mind and called his father Lin Ziwei.


    ¡°Dad, someone cheated during thispetition.¡±


    ¡°Is there anyone near you?¡± Lin Ziwei sounded calm and serious as usual.


    ¡°No.¡± Lin Wenxi looked around and stood farther away from the students, who gathered and chatted in the garden.


    ¡°Uhm, tell me what happened.¡±


    ¡°A girl who traveled with me cheated. She took a helicopter and suddenly surpassed me.¡±


    ¡°A helicopter? What¡¯s her name?¡±


    ¡°Chen Wanxin.¡±


    Lin Ziwei fell silent for quite a long time and then asked, ¡°What¡¯s her ranking?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±


    ¡°Do you have any proof?¡±


    ¡°No. But we used to hike together. After leaving her, I ran all the way every day, but suddenly she just¡ª¡±


    ¡°If you don¡¯t have any proof, you should stop talking about this thing! Have you told this to anyone else?¡±


    ¡°Not yet.¡±


    ¡°Watch your mouth!¡±


    ¡°I see.¡± Lin Wenxi replied helplessly.


    ¡°Do you still remember why Xiang Yu ransacked Xianyang after capturing the city?¡±


    ¡°He did it on impulse,¡± replied Lin Wenxi. Since his childhood, he had read ¡°A General Reflection for Political Administration¡± and ¡°Records of the Grand Historian¡± again and again at the behest of his father. As he had memorized all the stories from these books, whenever his father tested him on his knowledge of these books, he would give his father a satisfactory answer.


    ¡°Why did Chen Ping seed in driving a wedge between Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng?¡±


    ¡°Xu Yu is too suspicious.¡±


    ¡°Good, you remember these stories very clearly. But you failed to learn anything from them! You called me on impulse to tell me about something that you can not prove. When you were surpassed by someone else, you became excessively suspicious of that person without justification. If you can¡¯t prove it, stop talking about it. Do you understand?¡± Lin Ziwei sounded harsh now.


    ¡°I see.¡±


    Lin Ziwei directly hung up the phone. Lin Wenxi released his cellphone and felt somewhat dejected. He squatted down and scratched a bamboo with his nails.


    ¡°The current rankings! Heree the current rankings!¡± Suddenly, someone nearby shouted. Lin Wenxi and the other students in the depot all flocked to an electronic screen. He was surprised that he did not see Chen Wanxin¡¯s name on the ranking of the top three girls.


    He walked around the depot building, the garden and the other nearby ces on the hill, but still failed to find Chen Wanxin.

 Chapter 34 (The Light Was Flickering) Someone Peeped at Lin Wenxi at Night

    <h4>Chapter 34 (The Light Was Flickering) Someone Peeped at Lin Wenxi at Night</h4>


    ¡°Don¡¯t you think that you should go to take a shower first? You¡¯ve changed from a lovely Young Pioneer into an ugly, dirty nestling from the desert.¡± Someone sneered behind Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxi turned around and saw Zhang Dong standing on the withered grass. It waste autumn, but Zhang Dong just wore a red vest and ck shorts.


    Lin Wenxi looked down at himself and discovered that his olive green camouge suit was smeared all over with his sweat and the mud that Zhang Dong had poured onto him. He thought to himself, ¡°Wow, it has turned a muddy colour. It¡¯s indeed suitable for concealment in the desert.


    He stood upright and slightly lifted his chest while saying, ¡°Well, you should say, ¡®You¡¯ve changed from a marine into a desert eagle.''¡±


    ¡°Stop showing off your t pecs. Don¡¯t embarrass yourself.¡± Zhang Dong smiled teasingly and added, ¡°You haven¡¯t had a good rest for days! Go to take a shower now. There¡¯s a dinner party tonight. After dinner, you have to go to sleep in a mixed dorm. There¡¯s no single room reserved for you!¡± He paused for a moment and continued, ¡°You¡¯ll go back to your university tomorrow. Hey, you know what. You¡¯ll fall into my hands again.¡±


    Lin Wenxi watched Zhang Dong walking away and made a face toward him, while thinking. ¡°You can never manipte me by threatening me with violence, Robber Zhang Dong!¡± After that, he took his basin and sat in a daze in front of a public bathhouse, which was located in the southwestern corner of the depot. Upon seeing the boysughingly walk out of the bathhouse with their toiletries, he went into the ce to take a shower.


    He enjoyed the hot shower so much that he felt slightly dizzy.


    He wondered, ¡°During the past two months, things really didn¡¯t go as I had expected. Every time I think back to the first day when I came to this university founded by my father and those roommates in my dorm, I feel as if I just had a dream. Where are Zhao Yuan and Zheng Kai now? When will they reach the destination?¡± When Lin Wenxi slowly rubbed his soap on his skin, he thought of something else. ¡°That day, when Zhao Yuan treated my skin wound, he just hastily applied some medicine on it, but Shu Xiaoman was different. She moved gently and slowly. Wait, did she touch me somewhere where just shouldn¡¯t be touching?¡±


    When be began to rub the soap on his buttocks, he felt a dull pain and immediately stopped rubbing. He ced one of his hands on the shower wall panel to keep bnce, sighed and then pounded on the wall panel with the other hand.


    Suddenly, the light flickered and went out. Lin Wenxi immediately tensed up and continued to rub soap on himself in the dark. After a while, when the light was on again, Lin Wenxi could see that his shower door was locked. He felt much relieved. A few secondster, the light was dimmed, and everything seemed to quiet down except for the sound of running water. Lin Wenxi saw a hat above his shower door, but it quickly disappeared. He let the shower run full st, trying to calm himself down with the loud sound of running water. The next moment, he felt something wiggling on his feet and could not help but scream. He shrank into a corner while panting heavily, and then he heard some people running into the bathhouse. The light was on, and some student asked, ¡°How are you? Is there anything wrong inside?¡±


    When Lin Wenxi was about to speak, he heard Zhang Dong¡¯s voice. ¡°I came here to check the bathhouse. When I was about to turn off the light, some boy suddenly screamed. I was really startled! Hey, who¡¯s inside this shower room? Which ss are you from? Have you washed for two hours? Get out now!¡±


    ¡°Are you saying that this person has stayed inside that shower room for two hours?¡±


    ¡°Wow, he must¡¯ve scrubbed ayer of skin off himself.¡±


    ¡°Maybe he¡¯s not alone.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, there are probably a boy and a girl or two boys inside this shower room.¡±


    ¡°Hey, the people inside, I saw you!¡±


    ...


    Upon hearing that, Lin Wenxi thought to himself, ¡°Well, not only girls like to gossip.¡±


    He slowly rinsed the soap off his body. After that, he slightly opened the door and reached out his hand to grab his clothes hanging on the other side of the shower door. To his surprise, he failed to grab anything. He took his hand back and shouted, ¡°Give my clothes back to me!¡±


    The students outside burst intoughter. ¡°You know what, you must¡¯ve made this door shake too much, so your clothes fell to the floor.¡±


    ¡°Hey, how many bonus points will I get by filming this and uploading it to Caoliu website?¡±


    Lin Wenxi saw a finger above his shower door pointing toward a side wall panel of his shower room, He turned his head to the side and saw his clothes there.


    Lin Wenxi put on his clothes and hesitated for a long time before opening the door and walking out of the shower room. He was greeted with curious students, who were smiling meaningfully at him. He nodded and smiled back at them. The boys imagined that they would see an embarrassed girl, who was not properly dressed, in the shower room. They hurriedly stuck their heads into the room, but much to their disappointment, they failed to see anyone inside. They felt suspicious and started to look for the military instructor. However, they could not see the military instructor and that good-looking boy anywhere inside this bathhouse at the moment.


    As such, the boys began to gossip about the military instructor and the good-looking boy. They even talked about this during the dinner party. The girls enjoyed these gossips. They even used their imagination to dramatize all the details of this incident, making the party go with a swing.


    Lin Wenxi sat in the bamboo forest, which was far away from the crowd. He got two dishes. One was a fried fish. He ate only less than half of it and put it down. The other dish was also a fried fish. He did not touch it and gave it Zhang Dong, who kept watching him with a smirk on his face. Zhang Dong took the fish, and quickly gulped it down. After that, he continued to watch Lin Wenxi with a smirk on his face. Lin Wenxi gave him the remaining half of the fried fish, he quickly gulped it down again. Lin Wenxi felt so awkward that he immediately ran away from his military instructor.


    Zhang Dong looked at Lin Wenxi. He wore a pair of dark blue jeans and a light blue and white sweater. He looked extra fresh in the autumn wind. Zhang Dong could not help but beam brightly. This was the first time that he had seen Lin Wenxi dressed in something other than the camouge suit.


    After the dinner, the students went to their dormitories with their friends. Lin Wenxi went to his dorm and then quickly walked out of it. After a while, he plucked up courage to enter the dorm again, but still quickly escaped from the ce. He was filled with astonishment and thought, ¡°This is ridiculous. This mixed dorm has only four beds. That means I have to share my bed with at least 6 or 7 boys.¡±


    A girl walked up to Lin Wenxi and said smilingly and meaningfully, ¡°Who knows what will happen when so many boys sleep together.¡± With these words, she burst intoughter and walked away. Lin Wenxi got goose bumps all over his body.


    The next morning, Zhang Dong woke up at 4:00 am. After traveling together with the students for these days, the military instructors got used to waking up at this hour. As they were afraid of waking up the students, they decided to go down the hill toplete their daily drill. When Zhang Dong walked out of his dorm, he saw a slender figure. It was a boy dressed in a blue and white sweater. The boy fell into a doze while holding a dirty backpack.


    Lin Wenxi had left his dorm early this morning. When he woke up and found out that there were at least two legs and two arms on his body, he immediately closed his eyes and prayed. When he opened his eyes again, he finally epted the fact that he was sleeping together with several boys and the boys who slept beside him put their right legs and right hands on him. He thought desperately, ¡°Well, I¡¯m sleeping in the mixed dorm and among a group of animals. And these animals keep snoring.¡± It had taken him a lot of effort to get out of the bed. Now he opened his eyes again and saw a familiar person doing exercises in the sun. He was stretching his hands above his head and bending himself at the waist. Lin Wenxi really wanted to kick his ass, but on second though, he decided to show some respect and just elbowed Zhang Dong down the steps.


    Zhang Dong reacted quickly and nimbly ran down the steps. He swiftly turned around and picked up a small stone. When he was about to throw the stone at the person behind him, he saw that it was Lin Wenxi and dropped his hand. He smirked at the boy and then smiled at him. In the end, heughed out loud and walked away.


    He thought, ¡°It looks like this brat is about to retrieve himself very soon!¡±


    Shortly after breakfast, the pick-up coach arrived. The students got on the coach one by one. Three of the students in the depot had been sent back to the university yesterday since they were wounded and needed treatment. Now, there were 24 students, and two of them were forced to take this coach to go back to the university to take a rest. When they heard that it would at least 6 hours to drive back to their university, they were astonished. They were told that they had walked nearly 500 kilometers during the past 20 days. The wends and swamps that they had walked past were not even located in the city where they set off from. It was said that the top three students would have to walk another 100 kilometers to reach the destination. Lin Wenxi received a call from Shu Xiaoman. She asked him many questions. ¡°Is your hair a mess now? Have you fully recovered from the cold? Did you meet any boy you like? I can be your matchmaker...¡± She kept asking and talking, and Lin Wenxi just gave her some simple answers or replied by saying, ¡°Uhm¡±. After that, Zhang An¡¯an and Wang Xiang talked with him on the phone. They worked smoothly together and kept teasing about his rtionship with Zhang Dong.

 Chapter 35 (Immediately Abandon the Plan) Still Waters Run Deep

    <h4>Chapter 35 (Immediately Abandon the n) Still Waters Run Deep</h4>


    After talking with Shu Xiaoman on the phone, Lin Wenxi heaved a sigh of relief, and then he thought of his father. ¡°My father asked me be ranked among the top ten. I¡¯ve let him down this time. How am I going to exin this to him? Anyhow, I¡¯ve tried my best. He¡¯ll at most punish me by asking me to recite a few more books. Well, he often asks me to read boring books, such as those onws and civil service exams. He probably wants me to take the civil service exam in the future.


    ¡°What¡¯s so great about being an official? My father worked hard his whole life, and even now when he serves as the deputy mayor of this city, he still can¡¯t let his family live a good life. My mother has to work day and night at the desk, sorting out her investigation notes and writing, and I have to be strict with myself all the time since my childhood and never be allowed to gain any benefit from my father¡¯s job. Back in my highschool, those schoolmates whose parents were officials were super proud and even arrogant. My father was ranked higher than their parents, but he always asked me to swallow insult and humiliation and not to put him in an awkward situation.


    ¡°ording to my mother, this is because my father has an imcable enemy, who will make a fuss about any small mistake of my father. As it¡¯s very difficult to deal with this enemy, he can only be strict with my mother and me. I remember that uncle Hong Xuan said that a man should dominate his special sphere of work and treat his family tenderly in the private sphere, but my father doesn¡¯t seem to be able to do either of them.¡±


    Lin Wenxi suddenly became somewhat angry with his father as he had given him lots of pressure and asked him to be ranked among the top 10. The second moment, he became angry with himself as he failed to win thepetition. He was lost in thought and remained silent all the way.


    Before he realized it, it waste afternoon, and the coach parked in front of the gold-ted gate of Jifu University, which was shining in the setting sun. Lin Wenxi smiled apologetically to the boy who sat next to him and had kept talking all along the way. Lin Wenxi was not sure if this boy had been speaking to him.


    Most of the boys were excited to return to the university and hurriedly got off this coach while asking their friends to have a drink together or asking their girlfriends to spend some quality time together. Lin Wenxi waited for them to leave and then silently got off the coach. The moment he got out of the coach, he saw three students looking at him with shiny eyes. Before he realized what was going on, he was embraced by Shu Xiaoman. After that Zhang An¡¯an and Wang Xiang came up and hugged them silently as the sun went down.


    As Lin Wenxi needed to put down his luggage first, the four of them walked together toward the male dormitory building for students ofputer science department while talking all the way.


    ¡°Why did you hug Xiaoman so tightly just now? Did you want to take advantage of her?¡± Zhang An¡¯an grumpily asked Wang Xiang.


    ¡°I hugged them because you did so. I followed the example of you, my dear.¡¯ Wang Xiang shrugged and spread his hands.


    ¡°Great, what a sweet, submissive boyfriend you are. So do you want to follow the example of me when I have a period? I guess that I can ask Zheng Kai to give you a kick and make you bleed,¡± Zhang An¡¯an said with a solemn face.


    ¡°No, no, no.¡± Wang Xiang hurriedly shook his head and added, ¡°A gentleman like me is principled and just can¡¯t do some things.¡±


    ¡°How dare you call yourself a gentleman? How can a gentleman arbitrarily hug a young woman like Xiaoman?¡± Zhang Anan pinched Wang Xiang¡¯s arm and said.


    ¡°Well, do you think it¡¯s alright for a young woman like Xiaoman arbitrarily embrace a young man like Wenxi?¡±


    ¡°Wenxi is just adorable. Everyone can hug him!¡±


    ¡°What? Wenxi... I think that she¡¯s suggesting that you¡¯re a person of loose morals...¡±


    ¡°Wang Xiang!¡± Zhang An¡¯an shouted angrily with her hands on her hips. Wang Xiang hurriedly admitted defeat and apologized to Zhang An¡¯an. He held her chubby hand and walked while swaying their hands and singing, ¡°Sway and sway, sway and sway, An¡¯an said that I am great.¡±


    Lin Wenxi suppressed his urge tough out and continued to talk with Shu Xiaoman. He told her what had happened after they had left the second depot, but he did not tell her about the herbal medicine left by Zhao Yuan, the inexplicable catching up of Chen Wanxin and the things between Zhang Dong and himself. He just told her, ¡°I traveled together with Chen Wanxin for some time and then we separated. When I arrived at the third depot, I didn¡¯t meet her there.¡±


    Shu Xiaoman got a little bored upon hearing that. The next moment, she giggled and said, ¡°You know what, Wanxin returned to the university earlier than you guys. She told us when she met you and Zhang Dong, you were improperly dressed and smeared all over with mud, but Zhang Dong looked happy and energetic...¡±


    Lin Wenxi was astonished and thought in disbelief, ¡°What? Chen Wanxin came back earlier than us?¡±


    Chen Wanxin had indeede back to the university earlier than him.


    Three days ago:


    When Luo Yang and she had been in the helicopter and flying in the sky, Luo Yang had helplesslyined to Boss Mo, ¡°Boss Mo, Miss Chen keeps looking at the ground through a telescope, searching for some extinguished campfire. Once she spots such a thing, she¡¯ll ask us tond and she¡¯ll take away all the things left there. Now, she spots a boy and asks us tond at night again.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s alright. How is everything else?¡±


    ¡°We onlynd in secluded locations and use the best sound-absorbing equipment to cover the sound of the propellers. We y bird singing every time wend. I¡¯m sure that no one will notice us from 30 meters away.¡±


    ¡°De careful!¡± Boss Mo replied coldly.


    ¡°But even if some student sees us, it¡¯ll be alright. No one can take a clear picture of us with a cellphone at night!¡±


    ¡°Just be cautious!¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    Two days ago:


    On thend, Luo Yang had whispered to Boss Mo on his pager, ¡°Boss Mo, Miss Chen said that someone saw her, but that person didn¡¯t take a picture.¡±


    ¡°Then why do you report this to me? Who is that person?¡±


    ¡°Boss Mo, that person is Lin Wenxi.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Boss Mo remained silent for a moment and added, ¡°Immediately ask Miss Chen to abandon the n. It¡¯s alright to give up these credits. She¡¯ll have lots of opportunities to win them back in the future! She can go anywhere she wants even without the help of this Jifu University. No one can stop her!¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    The night was long and quiet.


    Upon hearing that Chen Wanxin hade back earlier, Lin Wenxi thought that he had probably misunderstood her before. He shrugged and walked into his dorm.


    He had note back to this ce for more than a month. Before his departure, he had just hastily covered his quilt and bed with some newspapers to prevent them from being covered with dust. He thought that it would take him a lot of time to clean up tonight, but when he saw his bed, desk and chair, he was surprised. His quilt was nicely folded and ce on his bed, and everything was spotlessly clean and ced like before.


    Lin Wenxi found the light of the setting sun that came in through the window somewhat ring. His eyes got sore. He put down his backpack, which was severely worn. Actually, the students had been asked to return the backpacks to their military instructors, but all of them had decided to keep the backpacks and even the toiletries as souvenirs. He lowered his head and looked at his shoes. They were stuffed with tissues and cotton, and the surface of them was spotless too. Lin Wenxi changed his clothes and left his dorm. Although he was dressed in some ordinary clothes, Shu Xianman still found him attractive and grabbed his arm while resting her head on his shoulder. Lin Wenxi slightly turned his head to look at her and smelt a faint fragrance from her hair. He understood everything without hearing a word from her.


    ¡°Look at you. No matter how Wenxi is dressed, you¡¯ll find him super cute!¡± Zhang An¡¯an teased.


    ¡°Yes, he¡¯s the cutest person in this world!¡± Shu Xiaoman smiled somewhat bashfully.


    ¡°You¡¯ll find him even cuter when he doesn¡¯t wear anything. Am I right?¡± Zhang An¡¯an poked Shu Xiaoman¡¯s head.


    ¡°What a mean girl you are!¡± Shu Xiaoman gently pinched her arm.


    ¡°Yeah, An¡¯an, you¡¯re such a... I think that you¡¯re always able to know what I¡¯m thinking,¡± Wang Xiang looked at Zhang An¡¯an and said meaningfully.


    ¡°Wang Xiang, I really have to teach you a lesson today!¡±


    With these words, Zhang An¡¯an started to chase after Wang Xiang.


    ¡°They¡¯re just hysterically funny. Wang Xiang is even more shameless than An¡¯an. They¡¯re just meant for each other!¡± Shu Xiaoman grabbed Lin Wenxi¡¯s arm, and Lin Wenxi did not resist it. He suddenly thought of something and asked: ¡°Where¡¯s Chen Wanxin?¡±


    ¡°She asked for a leave and went home. During the past days, we were really tortured by the military instructors in the daytime, and at night we had to learn some military theory and sing military songs. Aren¡¯t we students ofputer science department? We haven¡¯t touchedputers for months. If we continue like this, what kind of job will we find in the future? Oh, we can work as military instructors for pupils in primary schools. We¡¯ll give them a hard time and make them understand that life is not easy. We¡¯ll torture them!¡± Shu Xiaoman said and rolled up her sleeves, revealing her white arms.


    Lin Wenxi smiled slightly and thought, ¡°Well, my father was right. I can¡¯t use anyone without proof. Chen Wanxin gave up thepetition and came back earlier. No one has a reason to use her of cheating in thepetition, and there¡¯s no evidence that can be used to prove that. Everyone believes that it was a military instructor who took the helicopter to work.¡±


    He enjoyed hearing Shu Xiaoman talking, as she always sounded so carefree and delighted.


    ording to Shu Xiaoman, the girls in her dorm had a new roommate named Zhou Nannan. Lin Wenxi remembered this girl. She was the girl who had asked the boys to release the rabbit. She had a cute doll face, and was somewhat chubby. Her eyes were big and bright. She had a sweet voice, but not sounded affected.

 Chapter 36 (Zhao Yuan Is the Second) The King Returned to Reunite

    <h4>Chapter 36 (Zhao Yuan Is the Second) The King Returned to Reunite</h4>


    They met other boys from the same ss in the small restaurant. Wang Xiang was very hospitable. He gathered everyone and drunk together.


    Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t want to drink at all. Shu Xiaoman was quite into it and Zhang An¡¯an took a few drinks and asked Wang Xiang to pay the bills. Xin Wenxi was watching the waiter change the tes for Zhang An¡¯an one after another. The tes were full of the broken shells of spicy shrimps, the bone of chicken feet, the fishbone of sweet and sour fish, the shell of ms and snails, the fat from pork belly and the scraps from tofu. Zhang An¡¯an was using her chubby hands to slowly open a crab shell and sucked the butter in it.


    Shu Xiaoman persuaded Zhang An¡¯an, ¡°The crab is cold-natured, don¡¯t eat too much.¡± She handed a dish of shredded ginger and said, ¡°I know you don¡¯t like the taste of ginger, but you should eat some.¡± Zhang An¡¯an didn¡¯t respond. Shu Xiaoman was used to this. She saw the snacks Zhang An¡¯an brought back after the military training and predicted that Wang Xiang would go bankrupt someday.


    Wang Xiang felt upset on his way back. He felt sorry for the money he just spent. Zhang An¡¯an starred at him and said, ¡°You invited them. Of course, you¡¯ll pay for them. We just took advantage of it.¡±


    ¡°No, you need to make me understand. Tell me what¡¯s wrong. You are angry, I can tell.¡± Wang Xiang wouldn¡¯t give up.


    When Lin Wenxi and Zhang An¡¯an went back to their own dormitory, Wang Xiang was still asking about what was going on.


    ¡°You are so stupid! How great if everyone knows each other and could have a good time chatting. Did you see Wenxi barely talk? He was really shy. Xiaoman hasn¡¯t seen him for so long. They must have lots to say to each other.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re right. But Do you always wish Wenxi can date with Brother Yuan? Why do you set him and Xiaoman up?¡±


    ¡°From the biology aspect as Zheng Kai said, men, are two-timers.¡± Zhang An¡¯anughed.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to hear to this, don¡¯t want to listen to Zheng Kai, don¡¯t want to know about biology... I am not a two-timer... I am... I don¡¯t think other people are worthy, just because of An¡¯an!¡±


    ¡°Looks like you think I¡¯m worthy?¡± Zhang An¡¯an smiled slightly.


    ¡°The beauty of whom I think is somewhere about the water. The modest, retiring, virtuous, youngdy, for our prince a good mate she.¡± Wang Xiang looked at Zhang An¡¯an, provokingly.


    ¡°I¡¯m not retiring.¡±


    ¡°In the Tang Dynasty, they believed chubby as beauty...¡±


    ¡°This is modern society now.¡±


    ¡°Ugly An¡¯an, me, Wang Xiang, want to chase you.¡± Wang Xiang finally stop being elegant and saying poems.


    Zhang An¡¯an was about to hit him before her body had been lifted in the air by Wang Xiang. He waddled to the girl¡¯s dormitory and dropped her down. They immediately attracted a lot of onlookers.


    ¡°I, like you.¡± Wang Xiang stretched his hand and rubbed Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s cheek slightly, and then he turned and swayed away.


    Zhang An¡¯an frowned with blushed cheeks. She looked at the back of Wang Xiang and said, ¡°Finally act like a real man.¡± Later, she was still worried about him. So she went to the 24-hour pharmacy and bought sober-up tea. She took it to the boys¡¯ dormitory and asked Lin Wenxi to hand it over to Wang Xiang. Then she finally set her mind at rest.


    It was again a few days of military training. Lin Wenxi, as a toon leader, won much attention from lecturing military theory and organizing military songs. Shu Xiaoman asionally heard Lin Wenxi¡¯s heartyughter. It was difficult to believe that he used to be silence and shy. But anyway, she thought that Lin Wenxi was really good-looking when heughed. She didn¡¯t expect that the training could change him so much.


    Chen Wanxin became more active when she came back from home and was really nice to the new roommate, Zhou Nannan. The whole room was united and harmony. Life like this seemed to be really nice. Shu Xiaoman was very satisfied, so did Zhang An¡¯an.


    ¡°Report! ss ten has been assembled! Please indicate!¡± Lin Wenxi saluted standardly and asked loudly.


    ¡°At ease! Today¡¯s mission is...¡± Zhang Dong exined. Afterward, he stood in the distance to watch Lin Wenxi lead the mission.


    Zhang Dong also noticed that Lin Wenxi would walk back along after the military training. Lin Wenxi was the brother to everyone on the field. But he had never been very close to anyone. asionally, only one girl named Shu Xiaoman would stick with him like sticky candy. Zhang Dong slightly frowned.


    Lin Wenxi went to the bathhouse to fetch water. Zhang Dong was also following him, in the distance and silently. Lin Wenxin held a few water bottles by himself. He was very struggling but walked upstairs very steady.


    Lin Wenxi and Zhang Dong, after training, only politely said hello to each other if they met. Sometimes he would suddenly smile at him, like remind something. It was like what? It was likepleting a task.


    Until Zhao Yuan came back.


    Yes, Zhao Yuan. They came back, very high-profile return with sess. The college held a very grand wee ceremony for them. Even Zhang Dong, who was used to the grand scene, couldn¡¯t help but recall the grand asion of the day.


    The top two people of the cross-country training in boys team were taken by theputer school ss ten, namely Zheng Kai and Zhao Yuan. Cross-country training girls team, first ce,puter school, Wang Zhengjuan.


    The treatment of the top three was naturally different. They took a military helicopter andnded slowly on the podium. In the roar of the helicopter and the sparkle light of the firework, three boys and three girls, wearing gold, silver and copper metal, walked off the ne.


    The first one walked off was Zheng Kai. He wore a dark green camouge hat and a pair of military radar sunsses. He smiled very well and kept sending kisses to his ssmates on the field. Then there was Wang Zhengjuan, a short-haired and capable girl who had a pair of dashing eyebrows. Then it was Zhao Yuan, wearing a camouge hat. Exhaustion could be seen from his eyes but a shining smile was still on his face. When he got off the ne, he looked around the field and his eyes fell on Lin Wenxi, who was staring at him too. They were far apart but they smiled at each other.


    After everyone left the helicopter, they took a bow to the people on the field. Then they took photos with the leaders before they got off the stage.


    The School of Computer had swept the board with the boys¡¯ championship and the girls¡¯ championship. It was said that it was the most brilliant moment in the short history of the college. The dean announced that the corresponding rewards remained unchanged, and the entire college suddenly boiled. The crowds formed by the girls surrounded all six of them, and the boys had to stay outside and sighed.


    All the heroes who came back with honor were asked to give a speech.


    Zhao Yuan only said one sentence, ¡°Thank you!¡± The girls on the field suddenly boiled and shouted loudly, ¡°Who is it? Say the name! We¡¯ll make sure not to kill her!¡± He slowly searched in the crowd for the person whom he hadn¡¯t seen in a few days. Even though he didn¡¯t find her, Zhao Yuan believed that she must be hiding in a quiet corner, soundlessly, just like himself at the moment. So he was very calm. At the moment, Chen Wanxin hugged her hands around her chest and stood side by side with her roommates to talk about the brutalpetition that Wang Xiang had heard at thest stop.


    ¡°Who do you think he¡¯s talking about?¡± Chen Wanxin asked with a smile.


    Zhang An¡¯an read her face and smiled, ¡°Must be you!¡±


    Shu Xiaoman wanted to say it was Lin Wenxi, and when the words came to her lips, she only said, ¡°I agree.¡±


    ¡°Really? You all know that Zhao Yuan was not talking about me, right? Who was he talking about?¡± Chen Wanxin said coolly.


    ¡°Not me anyway.¡± Zhang An¡¯an kept shaking her head.


    ¡°Not me,¡± Shu Xiaoman said softly.


    ¡°Who is it then?¡± Chen Wanxin kept asking.


    ¡°Chen Wanxin!¡± The girls were shocked by the voice which came from the podium. They all looked up at the same time.

 Chapter 37 (My Bet Is Going to Lose) Wang Xiang Revealed His Bet After Drinking

    <h4>Chapter 37 (My Bet Is Going to Lose) Wang Xiang Revealed His Bet After Drinking</h4>


    Zheng Kai shouted, ¡°You want me to take the first ce, I got it!¡±


    In a screaming cheer, Chen Wanxin pulled her face down. ¡°Boring!¡± She turned and left.


    Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman shook their heads at the same time. ¡°Lovers.¡±


    Zheng Kai didn¡¯t expect Chen Wanxin to have any response. For a long time, he didn¡¯t know what to say. Hence, he passed the microphone to the champion of the girls¡¯ team, Wang Zhengjuan.


    Wang Zhengjuan wore a baseball cap and a yellow short-sleeved T-shirt. It was worn in ck crocodile leather trousers. On her feet, it was a pair of well-designed shoes tailored by famous designers. The look was simple and refreshing. She might be recognized as a fair-skinned man if it was not for her ck horsetail and the curve of her body.


    ¡°Zhou Nannan, I love you!¡± Wang Zhengjuan shouted toward the field.


    It was really interesting that the confess came one after another. It was only two months since school started. Everyone was surprised by how many couples appeared in such a short time. They were all guessing which boy was called Zhou Nannan and was able to make the girl happy. Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman turned pale. They looked at each other and went back to the dormitory to ask Zhou Nannan, who refused toe out earlier, for an exnation.


    Everyone was taking pictures and uploading them to all kinds of social media. Zheng Kai and Zhao Yuan found that there were so many girls at Jifu University. Zheng Kai, in the middle of the crowd, starring at the familiar back that was leaving the field, tried to squeeze a way out. However, the champion¡¯s honors, awards, signatures, and other itinerary arrangements followed. The field was still crowded with many people. The girls found that Zhao Yuan, who was more eye-catching than the title of champion, was missing.


    Zheng Kai was surrounded by the crowd. Zhang Dong¡¯s eyes swept across the inconspicuous corner of the yground, where two teenagers stood there, one was covering another¡¯s eyes.


    On that day, Lin Wenxi, as the toon leader, led the whole toon to salute on the ceremony. When the leaders finished their speech and the winners got off the stage, the field was so noisy that Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t want to keep the order anymore. So he stayed away and watched Zhao Yuan, Zheng Kai, and others being surrounded by the crowd. He turned around, walked slowly around the yground and stopped under a tree. Here, it was once the ce where ss ten was trained. The vigorous military training of the Jifu University came to the end with the end of the field training.


    His eyes were covered while he was standing there along. A low voice came beside his ear, ¡°Guess who I am?¡±


    Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t help but smile. This kind of joke, he yed often when he was a child. After all these years, someone was still ying such naive tricks on him. But he knew who it was, so he didn¡¯t turn around but just stood quietly.


    The owner of the pair of hands was obviously curious. He touched Wenxi¡¯s eyebrows and didn¡¯t get any response. He thought he might not cover the right ce so moved up and down on Wenxi¡¯s face, and finally decided to stop on his eyes. After a while, Zhao Yuan finally turned Lin Wenxi around. ¡°You are very patient...¡± No sooner did he said the word, he was stunned when he saw Lin Wenxi¡¯s naughty smile and bright eyes.


    ¡°You¡¯ve changed,¡± Zhao Yuan said, smiling.


    ¡°Really? How?¡± Lin Wenxi smiled harder.


    ¡°Bing more handsome...¡± Zhao Yuan had always been good at dealing with people and coping with ease. But now he only wanted to take a closer look at Lin Wenxi¡¯s smiling face. He did not feel like having a talk and also had nothing to say, so he made an awkward conversation.


    ¡°I think that you¡¯ve also changed.¡± Lin Wenxi still kept a smile.


    ¡°Oh? How?¡± Zhao Yuan was delightedly getting closer to Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi moved backward and snorted, ¡°Be more honest.¡±


    Zhao Yun rubbed Lin Wenxi¡¯s nose and said, ¡°Shameless.¡± He reached out his hands and tried to tickle Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxiughed and dodged, suddenly he shouted, ¡°You bastard!¡±


    Bastard, Lin Wenxi suddenly stopped.


    He looked around and didn¡¯t find the one he was looking for. That person had been cruel to him, but he made him sessful. Lin Wenxi just realized that, until the end of the wee ceremony, after tonight¡¯s chorus performance, all the military instructors would leave the next day.


    ¡°Tomorrow, are all the military instructors going to leave?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°Yes. It was a short stay,¡± Zhao Yuan said. When they were in the helicopter and looked out over a panorama of the small city, he was told on the that tonight would be the goodbye dinner and the chorus performance, and they would say goodbye the next day. Zhao Yuan didn¡¯t have any attachment to any instructors except Zhao Dong. Perhaps it was because he was his instructor, or perhaps it was because he kept letting the ease of Lin Wenxi in the training.


    ¡°You don¡¯t want they go?¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°They have to leave.¡± Lin Wenxi sighed.


    ¡°You¡¯re really taking this easy.¡± Zhao Yuanughed. He held Lin Wenxi around his shoulders and talked about the journey he just had as if he was talking about his biographic. Lin Wenxi listened carefully and enjoyed.


    Zhang Dong was standing behind them and no one could tell what he was thinking. ¡°If this person could make you happy. Then I wish you could be like this ever after.¡± He thought in his mind.


    At night, everyone put on their performing dress, which was a pair of camouge olive green pants and a ck top with a red and yellow Jifu University armband. The clothes made everyone look heroic and capable. Zhao Yuan noticed Lin Wenxi was having a feeling of seriousness and coolness, perhaps because of his skin color.


    ¡°Leaves are falling in the cold wind, the army is a green flower, dearrades, don¡¯t miss home, don¡¯t miss your mom...¡± The students of Jifu University sang the bright military song. Their sensitive and shyness faded away, reced by their boldness and braveness. The night sky was solemn, but the song made it gentle and stagnation. Many students hugged their military instructors at the end of the performance and cried. Lin Wenxi stood next to Zhao Yuan. He was shocked by the loud voice of the performance. He noticed that Zhao Yuan was devoted when singing. Some words rolled in his throat, and he shivered. Especially when singing a word like ¡°mom¡±, he felt that Zhao Yuan was out of control.


    The military songs went round and round, and all the people sat in their toon and shared thest supper. The school canteen logistics department were so generous and offered the dishes that could not be eaten in the dining hall. The ban over tobo and alcohol during training time was canceled with an announcement. Boys and the instructors were talking about life, football, and future. Girls also enjoyed eating and drinking. They told each other their secrets. The whole ce had be a mess.


    The farewell banquetsted until the middle of the night, and until the next morning. At the beginning of November, a cold autumn day, no one expected the full moon stood for a farewell. Wang Xiang sat alone under the tree. He had a few threw-ups already. He whispered, ¡°The military training like this will not happen again in my life. People like this is rare in my life too.¡±


    Zhang An¡¯an filled up a cup and gave it to Wang Xiang. She said softly, ¡°Come on, Xiangxiang, you read me a poem!¡± Wang Xiang took the wine and stretched his neck and drank it. He also lifted Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s chin slightly and started to say, ¡°It was hard to meet thee and then bid farewell. The east wind blew weakly... and all flowers fell.¡±


    Zhang An¡¯an threw Wang Xiang on the ground hard. She put her hands on hips, and said with anger, ¡°In front of me, remember to say, the chrysanthemum fell!¡± Wang Xiang nodded and carefully wiped the wine stains on his chin. He didn¡¯t want any stains on his jersey.


    Zhang An¡¯an couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Did you wear this jersey to break the mood?¡±


    Wang Xiang replied with tears, ¡°An¡¯an, my jersey that has the autograph of Jordan, won¡¯t be mine anymore. I want to wear it while I can.¡±


    Zhang An¡¯an was still puzzled. She heard Wang Xiang mumbled, ¡°There are only less than fifteen days left. You didn¡¯t see the way Chen Wanxin looked at Brother Yuan. She must have agreed.¡±


    Zhang An¡¯an felt more confused and said loudly, ¡°Wang Xiang, exin yourself!¡±


    Wang Xiang was suddenly stunned and said, ¡°My bet is going to lose! When the school started, Brother Yuan and I made a bet. If he could make Wanxin date him, I should give him my jersey. Three months, three months are almost...¡± Zhang An¡¯an was trying to cover Wang Xiang¡¯s mouth, but it was toote.


    Chen Wanxin suddenly dropped her ss and turned pale.

 Chapter 38 (I Have Promised Now) Hard to Refuse His Love Profession in Public

    <h4>Chapter 38 (I Have Promised Now) Hard to Refuse His Love Profession in Public</h4>


    Zhang An¡¯an dragged up Wang Xiang and said to Chen Wanxin, ¡°He is drunk. Don¡¯t take it seriously. I will take him back and ask clearly.¡± While saying, she was dragging Wang Xiang to the boys¡¯ dormitory.


    Chen Wanxin smiled and didn¡¯t move. Her face was hiding in the shade of the tree and couldn¡¯t be seen clearly in the shadow.


    The party continued. Even Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t help but drink a few cups. After two cups with Zhou Nannan, who was newly introduced by Shu Xiaoman, he was already drunk.


    ¡°Zhou Nannan, Wang Zhengjuan, you...¡± Lin Wenxi said hesitantly.


    ¡°You don¡¯t like it?¡± Zhou Nannan smiled faintly. Lin Wenxi somehow thought of dandelion.


    ¡°No, you¡¯re really good,¡± he said loudly. Lin Wenxi was drunk and acted bravely. He didn¡¯t even know why he would support them. Zhou Nannan suddenly burst into tears and took a drink. She said to Lin Wenxi, gently, ¡°In the future, this can be said quietly with me. Don¡¯t do it in front of so many people, don¡¯t say so loud.¡±


    Zhou Nannan and Wang Zhengjuan knew each other since high school. Many stories had happened between them. Wang Zhengjuan, even though the daughter of a sessful businessman, had been despised because of the subtle rtionship with her. Even their best boyfriend wouldn¡¯t admit their rtionship. She didn¡¯t expect Lin Wenxi, who first met, would be so friendly and honest. How could she not cry?


    ¡°Why can¡¯t I say it out loud? I want to say, I... I like... Zhao...¡± His mouth was covered by Zhou Nannan. ¡°Some things, mutual understanding would be alright. Why bother to announce it to the public? Zhengjuan just didn¡¯t understand this!¡±


    Shu Xiaoman heard clearly and was about to p when Lin Wenxi finished the whole name. But she calmed down when she heard what Zhou Nannan said. She remembered what Zhang An¡¯an had said in their dormitory, ¡°It is interesting to make fun of each other. But it would be impossible if you admit the truth.¡±


    Wang Zhengjuan walked through the crowd and raised her toast. She said, ¡°Everyone is having a good time. We¡¯ll have lots of opportunities to drink in the future. Today, I will not bother you anymore. I will pay my tribute and drink up first.¡± She drank the beer and turned the ss upside down to show that she finished the drink.


    ¡°Nannan, it¡¯s time to go to our team to have a drink, get to know each other! You have plenty of time with your roomie in the future.¡± Wang Zhengjuan squatted on her knees. Zhou Nannan sighed and walked away by herself. Wang Zhengjuan panicked and chased after her.


    Lin Wenxi thought what just happened and felt grateful for Zhou Nannan.


    ¡°Wenxi,e here! You were such a man when you climbing. Didn¡¯t like Wang Xiang. He was so pussy and rumbled all the way!¡± Zheng Kai filled a ss of wine and handed it to Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxin was not so pale anymore after Zhou Nannan took her hands away.


    Lin Wenxi took over the ss of wine and dried it up. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. The paper towel had been handed over from Zhao Yuan. Lin Wenxi took the paper towel and satisfactorily wiped his lips. He was already dazzled.


    ¡°I propose this toast for brother Kai. Thank you for your help all the way.¡± Lin Wenxi gave the drink to Zheng Kai, who drunk it without hesitation. Zheng Kai had a drink with everyone around, especially with Wang Xiang. He and Zhao Yuan had been drinking for more than a dozen cups. Seeing Zhao Yuan was still alright, he decided to drink with him again after putting others down.


    Zheng Kai was not an alcoholic, but he hadn¡¯t met a rival when he drank. If someone toasted him back, he needed to have another drink. So he filled his cup again and handed it over to Lin Wenxi. Zhao Yuan suddenly reached out and said, ¡°You have put down many people, leave some sober ones. I¡¯ll drink this cup with you.¡±


    ¡°No!¡± Lin Wenxi said. Chen Wanxi was also there. She also said it at the same time. Everyone was staring at both of them.


    Chen Wanxin smiled lightly. ¡°You can¡¯t spoil a man. What is your rtionship with him? Why do you drink for him?¡±


    Zhao Yuan didn¡¯t know how to answer. Chen Wanxin said again, ¡°He is your roommate. Isn¡¯t Zheng Kai your roommate? You are so partial one of them...¡±


    Zhao Yuan was puzzled and looked at Chen Wanxin. He wondered what was going on. More than a month ago, it was here, Chen Wanxin smiled at him and said, ¡°You turn him into a gay then I¡¯ll date with you.¡±


    Chen Wanxin smiled soundlessly. She took out the wine ss and handed it to Zhao Yuan. She said, ¡°Zhao Yuan, on the first day of military training, you said you¡¯ll chase me, now I agree.¡±


    Zhao Yuan thought he misheard it. ¡°What did you say?¡±


    ¡°I said, I agree to be your girlfriend!¡± Chen Wanxin said loudly.


    The boys in the ss gathered around and wanted to hear about the story that Chen Wanxin, the campus belle, how to be taken in such a short time. When everyone saw that it was Zhao Yuan, they all knew that they were born to be with each other and started to cheer.


    Zhao Yuan stunned.


    Zhao Yuan didn¡¯t know since when he had felt this bet was meaningless. He was nning to y cool with Chen Wanxin, who would be too arrogant to date with him. Or he could find a time and exin the bet to her. If Chen Wanxin was making trouble, he also had an excuse. They were both making jokes and didn¡¯t owe each other anything since Chen Wanxin joked about turning Lin Wenxi into a gay.


    He didn¡¯t expect Chen Wanxin would confess in public.


    ¡°What should I say? No, I was joking? Or, tell her about the bet? Or refuse her because I haven¡¯t got what she wants?¡± Zhao Yuan struggled in his mind. He looked at Lin Wenxi, who swayed toward Zhang Dong with a ss of wine.


    ¡°Is he angry? Or dodged away because he doesn¡¯t want me to be embarrassed?


    ¡°But, why did I look at Wenxi?¡±


    ¡°Wanxin, I¡¯m not good enough for you. I didn¡¯t know you enough. And I was impulsive. But now I feel like...¡± Zhao Yuan was trying to find out what to say. Chen Wanxin walked gently toward Zhao Yuan and kissed him.


    Zhao Yuan looked at her with eyes opened wide. Chen Wanxin lowered her head slightly and smiled. ¡°Because of Zheng Kai, or... Lin Wenxi.¡±


    Zhao Yuan shook his head. ¡°We are not right for each other.¡±


    ¡°That also gave me three months, be my boyfriend. We¡¯ll see!¡± Chen Wanxin whispered.


    The apuse came from the surrounding crowd. Zheng Kai had stepped away from the table.


    ¡°What do you say? Are we right for each other?¡± Chen Wanxin smiled and turned to face a group of young men who had already be crazy.


    ¡°Yes!¡± A heartfelt blessing.


    Not far away, Lin Wenxi raised his ss and said, ¡°Zhang Dong, thank you.¡± The ss suddenly trembled and fell. Zhang Dong smiled slightly and reached out quickly. He held the ss firmly and returned it to Wenxi¡¯s hand. He said, ¡°Pay attention if you want to thank me.¡±


    ¡°No!¡± A clear, loud sound rang out. The bottle cracked and the wine in it sshed.

 Chapter 39 (Just Take Me!) Wanxin Confessed to Zhao Yuan

    <h4>Chapter 39 (Just Take Me!) Wanxin Confessed to Zhao Yuan</h4>


    It was Shu Xiaoman that had just shouted to everyone. She stood in front of the railing nearby.


    She put her hands behind her back and held the railing to keep her bnce. Faced with a crowd of faces, she felt nervous, and her legs got wobbly. Not long ago, she had received a call from Zhang An¡¯an. Zhang An¡¯an told her what Wang Xiang had said and warned her to keep an eye on Chen Wanxin and to stop her from doing something stupid. Chen Wanxin looked rxed and kept drinking with the boys, as such Shu Xiaoman did not worry much about her in the beginning. She just had never expected Chen Wanxin to suddenly confess to Zhao Yuan.


    Upon seeing Chen Wanxin confess to Zhao Yuan, Lin Wenxi immediately walked away from the crowd to avoid them. Without Zhang An¡¯an being around, Shu Xiaoman felt helpless and thus shouted to everyone, trying to stop Chan Wanxin.


    ¡°Why does it have anything to do with you?¡± Chen Wanxin retorted, her face somber.


    Shu Xiaoman could not stop trembling. She did not know whether it was because of the drink or the fear. Inspired by the desperation, she stumbled all the way to Chen Wanxin and said, ¡°Zhao Yuan, he doesn¡¯t deserve you! He asked you to be his girlfriend because he made a bet with Zheng Kai and Wang Xiang. If he manages to make you his girlfriend within three months, Wang Xiang¡¯ll give him his jersey. It¡¯s a No.23 jersey with Jordan¡¯s personal signature. Zhao Yuan never took you seriously. How can he deserve you?¡±


    Upon hearing that, Zhao Yuanxin felt relieved and really grateful to Shu Xiaoman. He thought, ¡°I can never tell this to Chen Wanxin in front of so many people. It¡¯s too hurtful, and she¡¯s innocent. More importantly, if she tells everyone that she has asked me to ¡®bend¡¯ Lin Wenxi, Wenxi will be embarrassed. I¡¯ve tried to tell Chen Wanxin the truth before.


    ¡°However, she just always managed to make me shut up. I really don¡¯t know whether it¡¯s because she is too smart or because she really likes me.¡±


    ¡°This is what I want,¡± Chen Wanxin said coldly. ¡°Xiaoman, thank you for your advice, but this is what I want. I would feel grateful to you if you did this for me. But if you did this for someone else, I would feel really disappointed.¡± While saying this, she threw a quick nce at Lin Wenxi.


    Shu Xiaoman was stunned. She stood still, unable to utter another word.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry. As Xiaoman said, I really don¡¯t deserve you,¡± Zhao Yuan said bluntly. He regretted what he had done to this girl. He had never expected her to really like him before. Back in his high school, he had made simr bets with his friends and won all of them. He would tell the girl the truth and give her a treat after she promised to be his girlfriend. The girls would not care much about that or feel hurt. They would just call Zhao Yuan frivolous and fickle.


    ¡°Well, I just want to know do you want to be my boyfriend?¡± Chen Wanxin said loudly.


    ¡°Wanxin, I¡¯m just a bad boy. I really don¡¯t deserve you,¡± Zhao Yuan insisted.


    ¡°That¡¯s alright. I like a bad boy,¡± Chen Wanxin said solemnly. Some boys nearby whistled upon hearing that.


    ¡°I am a... hooligan,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°I¡¯m here for you. You can take me anytime you want,¡± said Chen Wanxin.


    Shu Xiaoman looked at Chen Wanxin with her mouth agape. She wondered, ¡°What? Is she drunk? Or, is she always such a girl? Doesn¡¯t she worry that the others will consider her a girl of loose morals upon hearing that?¡±


    ¡°Wow, it looks like this girl has given herself to a lot of guys before.¡± Someone in the crowd suddenly sneered. No one would tease her for being persistent, but what she had just said clearly made some people that she was a girl of loose morals.


    Chen Wanxin red at that person and added, ¡°I¡¯ve only told this to Zhao Yuan. I never told this to anyone else before. Nor will I tell this to anyone in the future.¡±


    Zhao Yuan regretted what he had done even more and thought, ¡°Chen Wanxin is such a beautiful girl, and she confessed to me in front of so many people. I¡¯d better not embarrass her any longer.¡± The next moment, he somehow thought of Lin Wenxi. ¡°Wenxi said that I changed. What did he think of me in the past? What kind of the rtionship I have with him?¡±


    Chen Wanxin suddenly threw herself into Zhao Yuan¡¯s arms. Zhao Yuan tightly grabbed her shoulders with his hands. Shu Xiaoman looked away and happened to see Lin Wenxi fall into Zhang Dong¡¯s arms.


    Lin Wenxi drank with Zhang Dong for quite a long time and got tipsy. Zhang Dong ced his hand on the boy¡¯s chest and suddenly pushed him while asking smilingly, ¡°Are you alright?¡± Lin Wenxi lost his bnce and nearly fell to the ground. Zhang Dong did not go to hold the boy. Instead, he snatched the cup from the boy¡¯s hand and poured some liquor for himself. He lifted up his head as he gulped down the liquor.


    Back in the third depot, Zhang Dong had once eaten up the fish left by Lin Wenxi. Upon seeing Zhang Dong took his cup away, Lin Wenxi hastily stuttered out, ¡°That, That is my cup.¡±


    Zhang Dong seemed to think of something, too. Heughed and mumbled, ¡°Oh? Is it yours? I¡¯m really drunken, really drunk.¡± After that, he got close to Lin Wenxi and whispered beside the boy¡¯s ear. ¡°We¡¯ll have another chance to drink together in the future.¡±


    Lin Wenxi heard his military instructor talking while looking at Zhao Yuan. He saw that Chen Wanxin threw herself into Zhao Yuan¡¯s arms and the students around them gave them a big round of apuse. Lin Wenxi looked up into the sky. As it was almost winter now, the moon on the sky looked exceptionally cold, and the stars could no longer be seen. Suddenly, he lost control and fell forward.


    Zhang Dong held Lin Wenxi and then he felt that his chest got wet with the boy¡¯s tears. He wanted to gently touch Lin Wenxi¡¯s hair and bite his ear. He wanted to pull the boy tightly toward himself.¡±No, I can¡¯t.¡± With this in mind, he suppressed the urge to hold Lin Wenxi tightly and shook him while saying, ¡°Wake up, why did you fall asleep at this hour?¡±


    Lin Wenxi felt dizzy and started to vomit. Zhang Dong patted his back and helped him to walk aside. Lin Wenxi felt that he had vomited his insides out. Shu Xiaoman hurriedly came over to help him. She fed him some vinegar, fetched him some warm water and used a silver needle to stimte the point between his thumb and forefinger. Later, when Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin came over to see him, Lin Wenxi woke up and kept smiling at Zhao Yuan.


    When everything was alright, someone urged Zhang Dong to sing a song for this goodbye party.


    Zhang Dong immediately stood in the center and started to sing. He made an unusual sound with his throat. He seemed to be imitating the sounds made by a neighing horse in the beginning, and gradually he raised his voice to make some amazing high-pitched sounds. When he lowered his voice again, it still sounded solid and melodious.


    One of the students was surprised and cried out, ¡°This is Hoomei singing! This is Hoomei singing from Inner Mongolia!¡± Zhang Dong did not stop upon hearing that and continued to sing in some foreignnguage after his Hoomei throat singing. His singing now was loud and clear, and it sounded somewhat sad. Lin Wenxi was nearly moved to tears. That student who had just shouted excitedly suddenly started to cry and said, very movingly, ¡°This is Mongolian. I¡¯ve never expected to meet someone from Inner Mongolia here.¡±


    When Zhang Dong finished singing the song, the students burst into thunderous apuse. Many of them asked the student from Inner Mongolia to trante the lyrics for them. The students shook his head and said, ¡°It¡¯s difficult to trante them directly. I can only tell you that this song¡¯s title is ¡®Swan Geese¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Swan Geese,¡± Lin Wenxi thought to himself while looking at Zhang Dong¡¯s back under the moonlight. Even many yearster, Lin Wenxi could still remember this sad song and the lonely soldier who had to stay far away from his hometown and every time he heard this tune, he would hum and sing. ¡°Swan Geese fly up to the sky. How far away the sky is? I¡¯ll keep drinking and refilling my cup. I¡¯ll never go back until I get drunk.¡±


    That night, Lin Wenxi noticed that Zhang Dong kept standing with his face toward the north, his hometown.


    The students came to say goodbye to Zhang Dong.


    Zhao Yuan and Zheng Kai just asked the military instructor to take care of himself. Wang Xiang got more emotional than a girl. He held Zhang Dong¡¯s waist and cried. Upon seeing that, Chen Wanxin could not help but tease, ¡°Look at your boyfriend, Zhang An¡¯an. Is he really a man?¡± Zhang An¡¯an retorted, ¡°Usually a man will suppress his urge to cry when he¡¯s sad. I think that¡¯spletely unnecessary. A man can cry any time he wants.¡±


    Chen Wanxin slightly raised her eyebrows and looked at Lin Wenxi. She asked smilingly, ¡°What a kind of man is he?¡± Shu Xiaoman hurriedly replied, ¡°Lin Wenxi is just too shy to say anything to Zhang Dong.¡± Zhang An¡¯an smiled and agreed. Lin Wenxi did note to say goodbye to Zhang Dong. He walked away from the crowd and returned to his dorm alone.


    Everything went back to normal as if nothing had happened during the past few months.

 Chapter 40 (Hi, My Name Is Gu Xi) When You Look at Me, the Whole World Is Lit up.

    <h4>Chapter 40 (Hi, My Name Is Gu Xi) When You Look at Me, the Whole World Is Lit up.</h4>


    The next morning, Zheng Kai got up early and asked Zhao Yuan, Wang Xiang and some other boys from some other dorms to y basketball together.


    Zhao Yuan wanted to ask Lin Wenxi to y together, but Lin Wenxi stilly on his bed and even covered his head with his quilt. Upon seeing that, Zhao Yuan thought, ¡°It must¡¯ve been difficult for him to fall asleepst night. He turned his shlight on and seemed to be reading something throughout the night.¡± Zhao Yuan did not sleep well either and could not help but rub his eyes.


    Upon seeing that, Zheng Kai teased, ¡°What? Were you too excited to fall asleepst night after getting a pretty girlfriend and this jersey?¡±


    Wang Xiang put an arm around Zheng Kai¡¯s shoulders and asked, ¡°Brother Kai. do you really don¡¯t mind it at all?¡±


    Zheng Kaizheng said solemnly, ¡°Well, it¡¯s a fairpetition. I can¡¯t put the me on my friend because I¡¯m not so skillful as he is!¡±


    Wang Xiang smiled meaningfully and asked, ¡°Skillful? What kind of skill? Have you guys tried it together?¡±


    Zheng Kai deliberately squinted his eyes and asked, ¡°Do you want to try?¡±


    Wang Xiang raised his butts and said, ¡°Come on.¡±


    Zheng Kai punched him and said, ¡°If I didn¡¯t know that you have a girlfriend, I would really be disgusted by your jokes!¡±


    Wang Xiang said seriously, ¡°s, if I did not have this girlfriend, I would still be a pure-minded child.¡±


    After that, he talked to Zhao Yuan, who had remained silent all this while. ¡°Brother Yuan, I¡¯ll wash this jersey at noon when wee back. When it gets dry, I¡¯ll give it to you. What do you say?¡±


    Zhao Yuan replied, ¡°Just keep it. The bet is a joke. I never mean to take your jersey. By the way, don¡¯t drink that much again. Even if you drink, remember to keep your mouth shut!¡±


    Upon hearing that, Wang Xiang lowered his head embarrassedly and said, ¡°Thank you for your advice. I nearly forgot that it was I who divulged this secret. I¡¯m really sorry, bro. Let me treat you to lunch, okay?¡±


    ¡°Just one meal? Unless you defeat me in the basketball game, you¡¯ll have to treat me to lunch every day! What do you say?¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°You¡¯ll have to treat me to lunch every day too. Come on, Wang Xiang. You¡¯re loaded. Just consider this as some public welfare undertakings,¡± Zheng Kai said slowly.


    Wang Xiang smirked and agreed.


    Suddenly, they saw Zhao Yuan walk toward the canteen alone.


    ¡°Hey, let¡¯s eat together after the game,¡± said Zheng Kai.


    Upon hearing that, Wang Xiang said with a smile, ¡°Sigh, you deserve to be alone for your whole life, Zheng Kai. He just leaves to buy some breakfast food for Wanxin or Lin Wenxi!¡±


    ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you buy breakfast food for An¡¯an?¡±


    ¡°The snacks in her dorm are enough for her to eat for half a year. Why do I have to be worried about her breakfast?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re feeding her up. Once she¡¯s fattened by you and looks like a sow, won¡¯t you feel embarrassed to take her out?¡±


    ¡°Well, I¡¯ll fatten myself up until I look like a boar. In this way, we¡¯ll still look well-matched,¡± Wang Xiang said smilingly. Zheng Kai was rendered speechless. They stood in the ce, waiting for Zhao Yuan. After a while, they saw Zhao Yuan walk back toward their dorm with some breakfast food, which was obviously just enough for one person.


    Lin Wenxi was still lying on his bed. He did not want to wake up. He dared not to wake up. No matter how strong the hangover was, he was conscious enough to think of what had happenedst night. Upon thinking that Zhao Yuan had a girlfriend now, he somehow felt frustrated and dejected so much so that he was unable to open his eyes or eat anything. He continued covering his head with his quilt, shrouding himself in the darkness.


    ¡°Hey,e on. I¡¯ve found a sister-inw for you. Why are you so unhappy?¡± Zhao Yuan teased and took the quilt off Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxi still kept his eyes tightly closed, and his face and ears all blushed red.


    ¡°Hey, wake up. You know what. You have to face the reality bravely.¡± Zhao Yuan said while feeling somewhat anxious.


    ¡°Stop it, Wenxi. Anyway, she¡¯s not really my girlfriend.


    ¡°By the way, do you really care so much about the fact that I have a girlfriend now?


    ¡°Wenxi,e on, get up for breakfast. You can continue to have a tantrum after eating something for breakfast.


    ¡°Wenxi, as long as you agree to have breakfast, I¡¯ll listen to everything you say.¡±


    Zhao Yuan softened his voice and continued, ¡°Wenxi, please open your eyes to look at the breakfast food. You can¡¯t waste it like that. It¡¯s innocent.¡± He gently patted Lin Wenxi¡¯s forehead and said, ¡°Cute Wenxi, it¡¯s time to have breakfast. Don¡¯t starve yourself. I¡¯ll give you a satisfactory answer.¡±


    Lin Wenxi finally opened his eyes and asked in a sleepy voice, ¡°What did you say just now?¡±


    ¡°I... I¡¯ll give you a satisfactory answer...¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°No, before that.¡±


    ¡°The food is innocent.¡±


    ¡°No, still before that.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t remember.¡±


    Lin Wenxi closed his eyes again.


    ¡°Alright, alright. I¡¯ll listen to everything you say,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    Upon hearing that, Lin Wenxi sprang from his bed, devoured the buns and the soy milk and then handed the paper bags to Zhao Yuan, while saying. ¡°This is my firstmand. Throw the garbage away for me.¡±


    Zhao Yuan took it over, looked at Lin Wenxi for a moment, and said coldly, ¡°I only said that I¡¯ll listen to everything you say. I didn¡¯t say that I¡¯ll do whatever you want. Remember it.¡± With these words, Zhao Yuan threw the garbage away and cleaned the table for Lin Wenxi. ¡°I¡¯ll go to y basketball now,¡± Zhao Yuan said and left loiteringly. Upon seeing that, Lin Wenxi felt somewhat upset. He sat on his bed and remained silent for a long time. He wanted to tickle his throat to vomit the food out. On second thought, he gave up this idea, as he was afraid that it would make him look bad. He began to read some piano notes to distract himself.


    When he was engrossed in the piano notes, someone knocked at the door and walked in.


    ¡°Who are you looking for?¡± Lin Wenxi asked without looking up, as he was busy thinking about the tune yed by Zhu Ziping.


    ¡°Does Zheng Kai live here?¡± A somewhat childish voice asked. It sounded so sweet and clear that Lin Wenxi could not help but look up at the person.


    He looked the person up and down and felt surprised.


    That boy had bright eyes and distinct eyebrows. His soft ck hair fell over his forehead. He had a somewhat slender figure, and his skin was as white as snow. Besides, he also smelt great.


    ¡°Hi, my name is Gu Xi.¡± The boy introduced himself.


    Lin Wenxi muttered to himself, ¡°You eyes are as bright as the moon and as clear as the snowkes. When you look at me, the whole world is lit up.¡±


    Gu Xi pped his hands and said smilingly, ¡°Thank you. You¡¯re so nice. You must be Zheng Kai¡¯s roommate Wang Xiang! I heard of you a long time ago!¡±


    Lin Wenxi did not deny that. He just pointed to Zheng Kai¡¯s bed and said, ¡°He sleeps over there, the lower berth.¡±


    Gu Xi walked to Zheng Kai¡¯s desk and then sat at the desk to gaze at a photo of Zheng Kai. He whispered to himself. ¡°I haven¡¯t met him for months. He looks even more masculine now. It looks like he has just won a first prize in somepetition. Well, no one can defeat him. He¡¯s graduated from the Green Fields Military Academy.¡±


    Lin Wenxi remain seated on his bed and looked Gu Xi up and down, while eximing in his heart, ¡°This Gu Xi is such a pretty boy.¡±


    Gu Xi did not pay much attention to Lin Wenxi in the beginning. He frowned and continued to whisper to himself, ¡°Oh, he must have drunk a lot of liquorst night,¡± With these words, he turned around and looked at Lin Wenxi. He chuckled and said, ¡°You¡¯re not Wang Xiang. You¡¯re Lin Wenxi, and the one who sleeps on the upper berth above you is Zhao Yuan. I¡¯ve been looking forward to meeting you!¡±


    Lin Wenxi wondered curiously, ¡°Why does this boy know all of our names just by finding Zheng Kai¡¯s bed?¡± He smiled and asked, ¡°Why are you looking forward to meeting me?¡±


    Gu Xi blinked an eye and said smilingly, ¡°You¡¯re different from what I thought you¡¯d be. It¡¯s said that you¡¯re a poker face, who never speaks more than four words. They say that a person will be frozen to death by sitting beside you.¡±


    Lin Wenxi nodded slightly and said, ¡°You¡¯re too pretty. I just can¡¯t stop myself from talking to you.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Gu Xi sat beside Lin Wenxi, smoothed his hair and asked, ¡°Do I look better this way?¡±


    Lin Wenxi hurriedly nodded and said, ¡°Great, that¡¯s great.¡±


    Gu Xi looked delighted. He looked over the books on Lin Wenxi¡¯s desk. He moved so gently without making a sound. He patted Lin Wenxi¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°You are such a nice guy. I¡¯ll call you big brother Wenxi. Is that okay?¡±


    Lin Wenxi smirked and thought, ¡°Well, I don¡¯t think that there¡¯s any student in this university who is younger than me. I had just turned 17 when I was enrolled by Jifu University. This Gu Xi was exceptionally pretty. Howe we never heard about him during the military training? He must¡¯ve been enrolled recently and thus skipped the training.¡±


    ¡°No problem, so I¡¯ll call you Little Gu.¡±


    ¡°No, you call me Little Xixi.¡±


    ¡°Xixi? I¡¯ll feel that I¡¯m calling myself.¡±


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll call you Big Xixi, and you¡¯ll call me Little Xixi. That¡¯s it.¡±


    Lin Wenxi just did not want to say no to such a pretty boy, so he immediately nodded his head in agreement.


    Upon seeing that, Gu Xi beamed brightly with satisfaction. His lips were red, and his teeth were white and regr. Lin Wenxi just could not move his eyes away from him.


    Lin Wenxi was so impressed by the good-looking boy that he even started to feel ashamed of his own appearance and totally forgot about hisints about Zhao Yuan.


    Suddenly, he thought of the two holes in his tent and what had happened to Zhao Yuan and himself during the military training. He immediately went to close the door of his dorm, while thinking worriedly, ¡°We¡¯re doomed. Once Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman know about this Gu Xi and that he seems to have a thing for Zheng Kai, they¡¯ll try their best to sneak to our dorm and even drill holes into our door.¡±

 Chapter 41 (I Come here to Break up with You) Drawing Water in a Sieve

    <h4>Chapter 41 (I Come here to Break up with You) Drawing Water in a Sieve</h4>


    At noon, Zheng Kai, Wang Xiang and their new friends went to have lunch together. Among their new friends, there was a girl named Wang Zhengjuan. She was good at ying basketball and had outshone Wang Xiang in the game just now. To their disappointment, Zhao Yuan refused to join them. He bought some food and went back to their dorm again.


    ¡°We¡¯d better call Wenxi Baby Lin in the future.¡± Wang Xiang twitched his mouth and said.


    ¡°Are you jealous?¡± Wang Zhengjuan asked while swishing her ponytail. The boys found her very charming and looked at her. She said, ¡°Why do you guys keep looking at me? Don¡¯t you know that I¡¯m not avable now.¡±


    Upon hearing that, the boys all shifted their gazes toward something else. They all knew about the rtionship between Wang Zhengjuan and Zhou Nannan.


    ¡°What... why do I have to be jealous?¡± Wang Xiang stuttered.


    ¡°Little Xiang¡¯er, you know what. The biggest tragedy in one¡¯s life is that he or she dares not to do something that he or she really wants to do, such as not having the courage to love the person that he or she really loves. Sometimes, people even fail to notice that this is a tragedy. I love Zhou Nannan and I decide to love her without worrying about what others will think of us. If any of you has a disagreement with our rtionship, I¡¯ll teach this guy a lesson in a basketball game. If he stills refuses to ept us, just feel free to challenge me. I¡¯m a level-10 taekwondo ck belt,¡± Wang Zhengjuan said inly. The boys all gave her thumbs-up.¡±


    ¡°Well, I¡¯m not that tragical. I know what I want, and the person I love is one of your roommates. But still thank you for your advice,¡± Wang Xiang said with a smile.


    Wang Zhengjuan gazed at Wang Xiang for a moment, and then looked at Zheng Kai, who looked confused. She smiled slightly and said excitedly, ¡°Come, let¡¯s dive in.¡±


    When Zhao Yuan returned to the dorm, he was surprised to see that Lin Wenxi was sleeping again. He could not help but wonder, ¡°Does he can somehow read my mind or something?¡± He never knew that a few minutes ago, Lin Wenxi had received a text message from Wang Xiang. ¡°Brother Yuan went to buy lunch for you.¡±


    Zhao Yuan put the lunch down and felt lost for a moment. After a moment of thought, he turned around and left. He went to the girls¡¯ dormitory building and asked Chen Wanxin toe out.


    Chen Wanxin knew that Zhao Yuan still needed some time to ept her as his girlfriend. She was prepared to give him some more time.


    She had discussed this matter with Mo Qian and asked for his advice. In the beginning, Mo Qian was reluctant to discuss it with Chen Wanxin, but as Chen Wanxin insisted, he said, ¡°You did take a risk to confess to that boy in the public, but it¡¯s actually a clever move. I used to tell you a story. Do you still remember it? The Wang family wanted to give a project to the Li family, and the Liu family wanted topete with the Li family. The Liu family sent their daughter to drink the son of the Wang family under the table and sleep with him for a night. tually, nothing happened between them during that night, but the Liu family made a fuss about it and managed to let the Wang family know about this matter. The son of the Wang family didn¡¯t like the girl from the Liu family, but the girl neverined about this. She often called him as a friend and would even go to fetch him when he got drunk. After some time, even the young man¡¯s girlfriend felt somewhat stressed by the girl. In the end, the son of the Wang family and the daughter of the Liu family became good friends, and the Liu family got the project. Miss Chen, do you understand? ¡±


    Chen Wanxin was a clever girl. She understood what Mo Qian meant immediately. She thought, ¡°Now I just need to separate Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi and to take things slow with Zhao Yuan.¡±


    She had been angry when she had first heard that Zhao Yuan chased after her just to win a bet. In the meantime, she had somehow been determined to make Zhao Yuan her boyfriend. After that night, she often thought, ¡°If there¡¯s really something between Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi, I can hardly win him over for the time being. I¡¯d better keep the bet between Zhao Yuan and me a secret and give him some time to calm down. When he¡¯s rxed and ready to ept me, I¡¯ll influence him day by day. As long as everyone knows that I¡¯m his girlfriend, he¡¯ll still take me into consideration.


    ¡°I can tell that he¡¯s a very responsible guy although he looks reckless. He didn¡¯t tell me about the bet when I took the risk to confess to him in the public. I¡¯m sure that he didn¡¯t do that to protect his reputation. He did that because he did not want to hurt me. If he didn¡¯t care about me at all, he would never do this. I guess that I still have a chance.¡±


    Despite that, Chen Wanxin was really surprised by this sudden and unexpected invitation from Zhao Yuan. She asked Zhang An¡¯an to go down the dormitory building together with her.


    What Zhao Yuan was going to say was totally beyond her expectations.


    ¡°Wanxin, I, Ie here to break up with you,¡± Zhao Yuan said tly.


    Chen Wanxin tried her best to curl her lips into a slight smile and asked, ¡°If I agree with you, what you¡¯ll do? And if I disagree, what you¡¯ll do?¡±


    ¡°I just want to unterally, unterally break up with you. I¡¯ve thought about it for a whole night. I don¡¯t think that we¡¯ll be happy together,¡± Zhao Yuan said earnestly.


    ¡°Then who do you think will make me happy?¡± Chen Wanxin asked.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± Zhao Yuan said honestly. ¡°I think you deserve one of the best guys in this world, but I¡¯m not one of them.¡±


    ¡°Then who do you think will make you happy?¡± Chen Wanxin asked. At this moment, she felt perfectly calm and kept looking tentatively at Zhao Yuan with her bright big eyes.


    ¡°Well, I think we don¡¯t need to discuss this matter here. You¡¯re a great girl. I¡¯m sorry,¡± Zhao Yuan said, ready to leave.


    ¡°Hey, you¡¯re being unreasonable now. If you want me to agree, you¡¯ll have to buy me breakfast every day for a whole month. After that month, we¡¯ll break up. What do you say?¡± asked Chen Wanxin.


    Upon hearing that, Zhao Yuan thought in relief, ¡°This is what she wants. She¡¯s really nice to give me this chance to extricate myself from this awkward situation.¡± He felt somewhat grateful for Chen Wanxin and nodded while saying, ¡°Well, that¡¯s it.¡±


    After Zhao Yuan¡¯s departure, Chen Yuxin heaved a sigh of relief and asked Zhang An¡¯an, ¡°An¡¯an, have you reached a conclusion?¡±


    ¡°What conclusion?¡± Zhang An¡¯an, who had remained silent all this while, asked in surprise.


    ¡°Why do you think Zhao Yuan want to break up with me? Is it because of Zheng Kai or Lin Wenxi or because he just doesn¡¯t like me at all?¡± asked Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°I really don¡¯t know what he thinks, but I don¡¯t think that he dislikes you. He never hates to spend some time together with you. He has to meet with you every time when he delivers breakfast food to you. It¡¯s somewhat like a date. If he hates to meet you, he¡¯ll never grant your request,¡± said Zhang An¡¯an.


    ¡°An¡¯an, you just know how tofort others. I know that apart from dancing and music, you¡¯re also good at psychology. I reached this conclusion a long gao. How can you not know this? I guess that you were just worried that you might mislead me by telling me what you thought. Am I right?¡± Chen Wanxin gently smoothed Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s hair over her forehead and then added seriously, ¡°You know what. I¡¯m always nice to the ones who don¡¯t act against me.¡±


    Upon hearing that, Zhang An¡¯an felt a shiver went up her spine. She blinked and said, ¡°Sister Wanxin, you¡¯re right. I¡¯m indeed interested in psychology, but psychology can¡¯t enable me to read someone else¡¯s mind. I dared not to tell you my opinion not only because I was worried that I would mislead you but also because I really could not read Zhao Yuan¡¯s mind.¡±


    ¡°Alright, alright. I see. I overestimated you,¡± Chen Wanxin said and then put her arm around Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s shoulders signaling friendship.


    Zhang An¡¯an clenched her fist slightly. Her hand started to sweat due to anxiety.

 Chapter 42 (That’s None of Your Business!) Lin Wenxi Got Jealousy

    <h4>Chapter 42 (That¡¯s None of Your Business!) Lin Wenxi Got Jealousy</h4>


    Zhao Yuan, Zheng Kai, Wang Xiang and their new friends kept ying basketball until the evening. They really enjoyed hanging out together and decided to go singing at a karaokea together tonight. They invited their friends to join them, thus all the girls of Dorm No. 213 and all the guys from Dorm No. 216 came to the karaokea, except Lin Wenxi. Shu Xiaoman was surprised that Lin Wenxi did note and asked, ¡°Where is Lin Wenxi?¡±


    ¡°Now, he¡¯s a sleeping beauty in his bed,¡± Zhao Yuan teased smilingly while thinking, ¡°Lin Wenxi has really crossed the line this time. I¡¯ll continue ignoring him until I return to the dorm tonight to tell him everything.¡±


    The guys and the girls had a good time singing, drinking and ying games at the karaokea. When the guys tipsily returned to their dormte at night, they could not find Lin Wenxi anywhere or get through to him on the phone. Neither did they find any note left by him. Zheng Kai did not consider this a big deal, but Zhao Yuan was worried to death when he noticed that Lin Wenxi had not touched the lunch food on the table at all. He was so frightened that he immediately sobered up and urged Zheng Kai and Wang Xiang to look for Lin Wenxi together with him. As such, the guys hurriedly walked out of their dorm again.


    They searched all the ces on the university campus, which were frequented by Lin Wenxi, such as the bridge, the library and the piano room, and even went out of the university to look for him. Nevertheless, they still failed to find him. When they returned to their dorm again, Zhao Yuan looked worried and dejected and said, ¡°We need to call the police.¡± Zheng Kai thought that Zhao Yuan was making a fuss about a trifle and said, ¡°Come on, he¡¯s an adult now. He knows that he has to be responsible for himself, and he doesn¡¯t have to tell you everything about himself. Don¡¯t be so worried!¡±


    ¡°I agree with Brother Kai,¡± Wang Xiang echoed.


    ¡°He didn¡¯t have lunch or receive any of our calls. As his roommates, we need to care about his safety. Do you think that everyone is like you, who will probably survive after being thrown downward from the 11th floor of a building?¡± Zhao Yuan retorted impatiently.


    ¡°Well, brother Yuan has a point too,¡± echoed Wang Xiang. Zheng Kai raised his fist upon hearing that and immediately scared Wang Xiang away.


    Suddenly, Zhao Yuan mmed his head heavily and shouted, ¡°No, this is no good!¡± With these words, he ran out of the dorm again.


    ¡°What? Are you serious?¡± Zheng Kai felt helpless and tired out, but he still ran after Zheng Kai. So did Wang Xiang. The next moment, the three boys were stunned and stopped at the door. They saw an exceptionally pretty boy walking toward them with sleepy eyes.


    The boy they saw was Gu Xi.


    ¡°Why did youe here?¡± Zheng Kai could not help but frown.


    ¡°Why can¡¯t Ie here if you cane?¡± Gu Xi could not help but smile sweatly at Zheng Kai. ¡°It¡¯s been a while.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m busy now. Let¡¯s talkter,¡± Zheng Kai said, ready to leave.


    ¡°You guys are really noisy. Now everyone knows that someone in your dorm is missing. tually, he¡¯s lying on my bed now. He¡¯s just too embarrassed to return to your dorm,¡± Gu Yan said smiling and pointed toward his dorm.


    Zheng Kai was rendered speechless. After a while, he could not help but curse, ¡°F*ck!¡±


    Gu Xi said with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t just say that. If I give you a chance, are you willing to sleep with me?¡±


    ¡°Whew, you¡¯re talking like this again. I have nothing to say to you!¡± Zheng Kai said and then rushed back to his dorm.


    Gu Xi kept smiling and looked at Wang Xiang. Wang Xiang rubbed his hands together and said, ¡°You know brother Kai just can¡¯t understand your humor. Don¡¯t mind it.¡±


    After that, Gu Xi watched Wang Xiang go back to his dorm and whispered to himself, ¡°I got used to it a long time ago. If you don¡¯t want me to say it, I won¡¯t say it anymore.¡±


    Zhao Yuan strutted into Gu Xi¡¯s dorm and dragged Lin Wenxi out. Lin Wenxi kept his head down and remained silent. When Zhao Yuan was about to re up, he saw students of the other dormse out and watch them. He suppressed his anger and dragged Lin Wenxi to a staircase. He asked grumpily, ¡°Where did you hide?¡±


    Lin Wenxi, who had looked so embarrassed a moment ago, suddenly became confident and said, ¡°Did I hide? I just found the toilet in our dorm somewhat stinky and went to sleep with Gu Xi. Did I have to ask for your permission to do that?¡±


    Zhao Yuan was stuck for words and then he raised another question. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you eat your lunch?¡±


    ¡°I just couldn¡¯t eat it!¡±


    ¡°You really overdo your acting!¡±


    ¡°Anyhow, that¡¯s none of your business!¡±


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t youe out earlier! We were so sleepy and we kept looking for you and shouting your names for more than two hours. Our voices get hoarse because of that. Don¡¯t tell me that you didn¡¯t hear us,¡± Zhao Yuan said angrily.


    ¡°I really did not hear that.¡±


    ¡°You, You did this on purpose! Otherwise why did you look so embarrassed just now?¡±


    ¡°Did I? When did you see that I was embarrassed?¡± Lin Wenxi lifted up his chest and retorted.


    ¡°Hey, it looks like that some boy considers himself to be strong enough to strike out on his own. Do you really think that your wings are strong enough for you to fly to the sky?¡± Zhao Yuan teased grumpily.


    Lin Wenxi pretended to misunderstand him and said, ¡°What are you talking about? Fried chicken wings, or brine duck wings?¡±


    ¡°Lin Wenxi, you¡¯re so selfish. You deliberately hid from us and kept us looking for you just because I didn¡¯t talk to you at noon. You are really pampered!¡± With these words, Zhao Yuan turned around and left.


    Upon seeing Zhao Yuan re up, Lin Wenxi felt dejected and said, ¡°That¡¯s none of your business. Why do you have to care so much about me?¡±


    Zhao Yuan was surprised upon hearing that and sighed secretly, ¡°Why did I break up with Chen Wanxin today?¡± He walked back into his dorm and left the door open.


    Lin Wenxi felt sad. He had never meant to y tricks on his roommates. Although he was somewhat irritated by the cold attitude of Zhao Yuan at noon, he did not deliberately leave the lunch food untouched. The reason he did not eat it was that it was too spicy. He had some stomach problems and could not eat spicy food. In the evening, he went to find Gu Xi and chatted with him. They talked about poems, history and traditional Chinese painting. They enjoyed it so much that they forgot about the time. As Lin Wenxi did not want to meet Zhao Yuan for the time being, he decided to sleep in Gu Xi¡¯s dorm. When Zhao Yuan, Zheng Kai and Wang Xiang failed to find him anywhere and came back to the dorm, he heard them talking but was too embarrassed to walk out. As such, Gu Xi walked out first, trying to extricate Lin Wenxi from this awkward situation. Lin Wenxi had never expected Zhao Yuan to use him of being selfish and pampered. He felt that he was wronged and decided to sleep in Gu Xi¡¯s dorm for the night.


    Zhao Yuan waited for a long time but still did not see Lin Wenxie back. He thought that Lin Wenxi must have decided to sleep in Gu Xi¡¯s dorm. He felt a headache after drinking so much liquor and walking for such a long time tonight. He felt exhausted and fell asleep.


    The next morning, when Lin Wenxi went back to his dorm to take his textbooks together with Gu Xi at 7:30 am, they were surprised that everyone in the dorm had already left. Lin Wenxi exchanged a look with Gu Xi and wondered, ¡°Although the teacher is going to call the roll at 8:00 am this morning, they really don¡¯t need to get up this early. And they were drunkst night.¡± Lin Wenxi and Gu Xi hurriedly left for the ssroom.


    Wang Xiang had gotten up early because he had been woken up by a call from Zhang An¡¯an, asking him to upy a seat for her. Zheng Kai had gone to y basketball with his friends in the early morning. As for Zhao Yuan, he had gotten up early to buy breakfast food for Chen Wanxin.


    Zhao Yuan had nned to leave immediately after delivering the food to Chen Wanxin, but the moment he met Chen Wanxin, he was surprised and decided to stay. Chen Wanxin carried a pile of books and said smilingly to him, ¡°Some girls failed to get their textbooks yesterday. I¡¯ll bring these books to the ssroom for them.¡±


    As the books were obviously too heavy for Chen Yuxin to carry, Zhao Yuan decided to help her out. He picked up two heavy bags and walked toward the ssroom together with Chen Wanxin. Wang Xiang saw what happened, as he was waiting for Zhang An¡¯an here.


    Zhang An¡¯an stood at the gate of the dormitory building and watched Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin walk away while sighing, ¡°Wenxi has a strong rival in love.¡±


    In fact, it was Zhou Nannan who was put in charge of distributing these textbooks. Zhou Nannan had her period today and nned to ask Wang Zhengjuan for help. To her surprise, Chen Wanxin took all the textbooks away right after she received a call from Zhao Yuan. She clearly had a hard time carrying so many textbooks, but she refused help from all the other girls.


    Upon seeing that, Shu Xiaoman felt puzzled and asked Zhang An¡¯an what why she behaved like this.


    Zhang An¡¯an told Shu Xiaoman what had happened yesterday, but Shu Xiaoman still felt confused.


    Zhang An¡¯an exined further. ¡°Firstly, she asked Zhao Yuan who he thought could make her happy. If Zhao Yuan had broken up with her because of Zheng Kai, he would¡¯ve said Zheng Kai. However, he didn¡¯t say that. She observed him for a while to further confirm that he did not break up with her because of Zheng Kai. After that, she asked Zhao Yuan who would make him happy. She was pretty sure that Zhao Yuan liked Lin Wenxi. In this way, she figured out why Zhao Yuan wanted to break up with her.¡±


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t she just ask him whether it was because of Lin Wenxi? Why did she have to take so much trouble?¡± Shu Xiaoman gazed at Zhang An¡¯an confusedly. She thought that Zhang An¡¯an had probably thought too much.


    ¡°No, if she had asked him directly, he would¡¯ve felt alerted. In this way, she would¡¯ve never been able to get the answer. She managed to make him put his guard down by asking him the first question. As such, when he answered the second question, he did not hide his true feelings anymore. Wanxin asked me toe down together with her because she needed my opinion to further confirm her conclusion.¡±


    Shu Xiaoman could not help but exim. ¡°Oh, gee. You must¡¯ve been stressed out. What did you do?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t think that I can deceive her. tually, I don¡¯t quite agree with her analysis and conclusion, but you know, once she makes up her mind, no one can change her. I¡¯m just a little worried that she¡¯ll do something bad to Wenxi. No, no, no. She won¡¯t,¡± Zhang An¡¯an gently touched her own chest and said.


    Shu Xiaoman could not help but frown.

 Chapter 43 (You Are Such a Devil!) Lin Wenxi’s Sympathy Ploy Worked Again

    <h4>Chapter 43 (You Are Such a Devil!) Lin Wenxi¡¯s Sympathy Ploy Worked Again</h4>


    Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin walked together silently while carrying the books. Suddenly, Lin Wenxi and Gu Xi emerged from roadside shrubs and stood in front of them.


    They were stunned upon seeing the two boys.


    The moment Zhao Yuan saw Lin Wenxi, embarrassment quickly flicked across his face. He decided to ignore him and continued to walk ahead, while thinking, ¡°Last night, I was too upset to tell him that I broke up with Chen Wanxin. Well, I think, I don¡¯t need to tell him about this now or in the future.¡± When he was about to walk past the two boys, Gu Xi came up and asked smilingly, ¡°Brother Yuan, may I help you? And this beautiful sister is...¡±


    Chen Wanxin was d to meet this pretty boy and said gleefully, ¡°Are you a new student in this university? Look at you. You look even more slender than Wenxi.¡±


    Gu Xi and Chen Wanxin introduced themselves to each other. The next moment, they were surprised to find out that Lin Wenxi was gone.


    ¡°This little devil! Do you still think that you have a reason to be angry with me?¡± Zhao Yuan thought grumpily. He had just seen Lin Wenxi twitched his mouth toward him and left without saying a word.


    This was their first lesson of this term. Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman sat in thest row, so did Wang Xiang, Zheng Kai and Gu Xi. Wang Xiang sat next to Zhang An¡¯an. Zheng Kai was dozing in a corner of the lecture room while tilting his head to his left hand side. Upon seeing that, Gu Xi, who sat at Zheng Kai¡¯s left hand side, deliberately tilted his head to his right hand side. Like all the other good girls, Chen Wanxin sat in the front of the lecture room. Lin Wenxi sat between a wall and an empty seat. Upon seeing that, Zhao Yuan took the seat beside Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi had refused to eat the breakfast food that Zhao Yuan had bought for him this morning.


    Lin Wenxi refused to talk to him.


    Now, Lin Wenxi even smiled at another boy who came to borrow a notebook.


    Zhao Yuan felt irritated!


    He managed to drive away all the four boys who sat around them. When they left with their belongings to find other seats, Zhao Yuan cheerfully sat beside Lin Wenxi again and enjoyed the peace.


    When the ss was over, Lin Wenxi picked up his textbook and wanted to leave. Zhao Yuan deliberately blocked his way. Lin Wenxi tried to push him aside but failed. He gritted his teeth and tried to stride over the desk. To his surprise, Zhao Yuan grabbed one of his feet and stopped him. Now Lin Wenxi was lying face down on the desk. He could neither get out nor retreat to his seat. He was embarrassed and blushed red.


    After a moment, a teacher came in and saw them. She slightly pushed up her sses and wanted to start this ss. She felt that something was not quite right today and looked at the two boys again without saying a word. All the students in this lecture room shifted their gaze to the two boys. All of them knew Zhao Yuan, as he had seen him on the podium during the award ceremony of the military training.


    The next moment, a piercing cry scared all the birds nearby away, and the two boys were asked to leave the lecture room. One of them still held some breakfast food in hand. In the room behind them, the teacher began to give her lecture.


    ¡°You¡¯ve gone too far this time, Lin Wenxi!¡± Zhao Yuanined while wiping a shoe print off his face.


    ¡°You¡¯re crazy!¡± said Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°You¡¯re crazy! You even refused to eat breakfast,¡± Zhao Yuan handed the breakfast food to Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi turned his face to the other side to avoid the food. Gradually, beads of sweat began to form on his forehead and head, and his face became increasiningly pale. Upon seeing that, Zhao Yuan thought, ¡°He doesn¡¯t look alright. Is he suffering from low blood sugar?¡± With this in mind, he put a straw into the soy milk bottle and fed it to Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxi kept stepping backward to avoid it until he fell to the ground.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you have to buy breakfast food for Chen Wanxin every day? Why do you still have time to take care of me?¡± Lin Wenxi said, his voice weak. Zhao Yuan was pleased upon hearing that. He rubbed his hands together and said. ¡°I¡¯ll tell you why when you finish your breakfast.¡±


    ¡°No, I won¡¯t eat it.¡±


    ¡°Come on, have a bite!¡±


    ¡°No, the food is cold now.¡±


    Lin Wenxi¡¯s face became as white as a piece of paper, and he started to sweat more profusely than before. Upon seeing that, Zhao Yuan felt anxious and ran away as fast as he could. After a while, he ran back to Lin Wenxi with warm sugar water and buns.


    ¡°It¡¯s still warm. You can eat now,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°No, I can¡¯t eat unless you tell me why.¡± Lin Wenxi held a stool to keep his bnce and refused to eat again.


    ¡°Alright, alright. I broke up with Wanxin. She agreed and asked me to buy her breakfast every day for a month in return. That¡¯s why I buy breakfast for her every day!¡± Zhao Yuan sat dejectedly beside Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°But why?¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t tell you anything unless you eat some food. You¡¯re such a devil!¡± Zhao Yuan suddenly stood up and said grumpily with his hands on his hips.


    Lin Wenxi took a bite of a bun and asked, ¡°Why did you break up with her?¡±


    ¡°Finish your breakfast first,¡± Zhao Yuan said and helplessly covered his face with his hand.


    Lin Wenxi smiled and immediately drank up the soy milk. He was starving. ¡°I can listen to you while eating.¡±


    Upon hearing that, Zhao Yuan told him everything. ¡°She¡¯s just not the right girl for me.¡±


    ¡°Then who is the right girl for you?¡± Lin Wenxi looked up at Zhao Yuan and asked with a smile.


    Zhao Yuan touched his chin and said, ¡°Uhm, I haven¡¯t met her yet.¡±


    ¡°What did you say to those boys who sat around us? Why did they suddenly run away from us?¡± asked Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°I just threatened them by telling them that if they dare to get within one meter of you. I¡¯ll beat them up,¡± Zhao Yuan said proudly. Lin Wenxi frowned and said, ¡°You can¡¯t do that anymore.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Commander Wenxi.¡± Zhao Yuan rubbed his hands together gleefully and added, ¡°And you can¡¯t refuse to eat breakfast anymore.¡±


    ¡°Why?¡± asked Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t eat breakfast, you¡¯ll have low blood sugar.¡±


    ¡°Does that have anything to do with you?¡±


    ¡°Urg... when you have low blood sugar, I¡¯ll be scared and have high blood pressure.¡±


    ¡°Pooh!¡±


    The two of them sneaked back into the lecture room when the teacher did not pay much attention to them. They sat in thest row and beside Zhang An¡¯an.


    ¡°Where¡¯s Zhou Nannan?¡± asked Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Over there. She sits in the third row and near the right front corner together with Wang Zhengjuan. She still sits upright. Look at Wang Zhengjuan. She looks as if she was sticked to Zhou Nannan,¡± said Shu Xiaoman.


    ¡°You¡¯re really observant,¡± said Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Don¡¯t disturb me. I¡¯m chatting with Little Xixi,¡± Shu Xiaoman waved her hand to Lin Wenxi and said impatiently. Lin Wenxi was surprised and thought, ¡°Little Xixi, that¡¯s his nickname we decied on yesterday. Why does he allow Shu Xiaoman to call him Little Xixi so quickly?¡±


    Lin Wenxi had never expected Gu Xi to make friends with Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman so quickly. He told the two girls many things about himself.


    In the beginning, Lin Wenxi could hardly believe that Gu Xi and Zheng Kai had been schoolmates since grade 7, as Gu Xi did not look like a Green Fields Military Academy graduate at all. After that, Gu Xi told them that Green Fields Military Academy also recruited students to study rear services and he was such a student. ¡°Students like me seldom received military training, and most of the time, we just learned something rted to rear services, such as ounting, budget control and fire protection. When Zheng Kai graduated from the high school of the Green Field Military Academy, he chose to apply for Jifu University instead of continuing his studies in Green Fields Military Academy. As he got recruited by Jifu University, I also wanted toe here and applied for this university too.¡± Jifu University had made an exception to recruit Gu Xi because he excelled in his high school and was exceptionally good at cooking and well-versed in the knowledge of budget management and the use of all kinds of financial software.


    When the girls asked him about his rtionship with Zheng Kai, Gu Xi said meaningfully, ¡°That¡¯s a secret.¡±


    Upon hearing that, Lin Wenxi wondered, ¡°What? ¡®That¡¯s a secret.¡¯ The girls will think that he has admitted that there¡¯s something between Zheng Kai and him by saying that.¡± Lin Wenxi could tell at a nce that the two girls were super interested in this pretty boy now.


    He sighed secretly, ¡°This Gu Xi is indeed a pure-minded boy. How can he tell someone that he has just met so many things about himself?¡±


    When Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan went back to their dorm together in the evening, Wang Xiang watched Lin Wenxi alertly and then could not help but point a finger at him while saying, ¡°Wenxi, you have this disease. Why do you conceal this fact from us? Do you know that... it¡¯s contagious.¡±


    Lin Wenxi was confused. He did not have any disease, except that he would asionally catch a cold.


    ¡°Someone said, said that you have AIDS... Zhao Yuan, don¡¯t you know that?¡± Wang Xiang trembled and remained three steps away from Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Do you know that?¡± Lin Wenxi took a step closer to Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, be careful. It¡¯s not something trivial,¡± Wang Xiang said solemnly. He had never looked so serious before.


    ¡°That¡¯s alright. I hope, I hope to be infected,¡± Zhao Yuan raised his hands and chuckled.


    ¡°Are you crazy?¡± Wang Xiang shouted and then added in a low voice, ¡°Wenxi, I¡¯m sorry. I don¡¯t discriminate against you. I just think that you should tell us...¡±


    ¡°Zhao Yuan!¡± Lin Wenxi suddenly realized what Zhao Yuan had said to those boys sitting around them in the lecture room to drive them away. He picked up his pillow to m Zhao Yuan¡¯s head. Zhao Yuan raised a hand, trying to stop Lin Wenxi, but he identally broke the pillow, shedding feathers throughout the room.


    When the boys were engaged in the pillow fight, Chen Yuxin received a call.


    ¡°What? Still in the hospital?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Okay, I see. By the way, what about the background of Lin Wenxi?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s from an ordinary working family in Yangzi County.¡±

 Chapter 44 (You Will Regret It) Zheng Kai Refused to Help Chen Wanxin

    <h4>Chapter 44 (You Will Regret It) Zheng Kai Refused to Help Chen Wanxin</h4>


    The next morning, when Zhao Yuan got up to wash his face and brush his teeth, he saw Lin Wenxi hurriedly get up and follow him to the washstand. Zhao Yuan asked, ¡°Why do you get up so early?¡±


    ¡°Today, I¡¯m going to herd the sheep, just like a shepherd dog,¡± Lin Wenxi mumbled.


    ¡°What do you mean, littlemb? Tell me. What¡¯re you up to?¡±


    Lin Wenxi smiled without saying a word.


    Lin Wenxi followed Zhao Yuan everywhere, which made thetter very confused. He pointed at the girls¡¯ dormitory building and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to deliver some breakfast food. Do you want toe with me?¡±


    Lin Wenxi nodded earnestly.


    ¡°Are you saying that you want to watch me deliver breakfast to her?¡±


    Lin Wenxi nodded again.


    ¡°So I¡¯m the sheep?¡± Zhao Yuan could not help but cry out.


    Lin Wenxi nodded again.


    ¡°You¡¯re courting death, littlemb!¡± Zhao Yuan stopped and shouted grumpily to Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi pointed at his breakfast and said, ¡°You know what. I haven¡¯t eaten breakfast yet.¡±


    Zhao Yuan had no choice but to admit defeat.


    ¡°If you admit that you¡¯re a sheep, just bleat,¡± said Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°You!¡±


    Lin Wenxi looked up at the ceiling thoughtfully, inserted a finger through the handle of the stic bag, which contained his breakfast, and scooped it up from his desk. The bag swayed from side to side and looked as if it was about to fall to the ground at any minute.


    ¡°Barr!¡± Zhao Yuan bleated like a sheep. This young man had never been so subservient and servile to anyone before. He felt humiliated. Nevertheless, when he saw Lin Wenxi lower his head and smile sweetly, he felt great and thought, ¡°Well, it¡¯s my honor to serve such a pretty person.¡±


    When Chen Wanxin saw Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxie together to deliver some breakfast food to her, she smilingly received the food while crumpling a piece of paper in her bag into a ball. It contained detailed information about the optional courses of Jifu University. She had taken a lot of efforts in collecting the information and nned to discuss it with Zhao Yuan this morning. Nevertheless, now she could only watch the two boys walking away cheerfully without saying a word. She felt as if her chest had been pounded heavily.


    In the evening, the boys all returned to Dorm No. 216.


    ¡°Xiang¡¯er,e here, help me get properly dressed,¡± Zheng Kai said and pulled Wang Xiang off his bed.


    Wang Xiang felt awkward andined. ¡°Hey bro, only my girlfriend An¡¯an calls me Xiang¡¯er. I was really disgusted upon hearing you calling me Xiang¡¯er.¡±


    Upon hearing that, Zhao Yuan immediately put down the business journal in his hand and said, ¡°Hey, Xiang¡¯er.¡±


    ¡°Hey, Xiang¡¯er, is your surname Guo?¡± Lin Wenxi echoed while reading a newly bought piano score in his hand. (Guo Xiang whose nickname is Xiang¡¯er is a female character in the wuxia novel The Return of the Condor Heroes by Jin Yong.)


    Wang Xiang gritted his teeth. He grumpily pulled Zheng Kai¡¯s cor up to choke him, tied his belt into a dead knot and quickly climbed up to his bed.


    Zheng Kai grabbed the guardrail on Wang Xiang¡¯s bedside with both hands, prepared to jump up.


    Wang Xiang hurriedly mmed Zheng Kai¡¯s hands, trying to stop him. When Zheng Kai lifted himself up, Wang Xiang started to kick him while shouting, ¡°Stay away from my bed, you sex maniac.¡± Zheng Kai lifted up a hand to grab Wang Xiang. The next moment, the two boys rolled to the ground together. When Wang Xiang was about to speak again, his guardrail fell down on his head.


    Wang Xiang thought worriedly, ¡°Who knows what Zheng Kai is going to do? Maybe he¡¯ll even tear my bead down. I¡¯d better do what he wants now.¡± With this in mind, he smiled and quickly helped Zheng Kai get properly dressed. Zheng Kai went to look at himself in the mirror. He was satisfied and smiled. Before he stepped out of the dorm, he looked back at his roommates and said, ¡°If I get what I want tonight, I¡¯ll give you guys a treat. If I fail tonight, Xiang¡¯er will make it up to me.¡±


    Wang Xiang was frightened and cried out, ¡°Come on, why do you have to do this to me? It¡¯s just your first date with Chen Wanxin.¡±


    Zheng Kai walked out of the door confidently, although he did not quite understand why Chen Wanxin suddenly asked him out this afternoon when she had already forced Zhao Yuan to promise to be her boyfriend in front of everyone. Anyhow, he still felt excited upon thinking of the pretty girl.


    In the afternoon, Chen Wanxin hade to find Zheng Kai and said smiling, ¡°A¡¯kai,e to meet me at the ce where we took the military training on the yground at 9 o¡¯clock tonight.¡± With these words, Chen Wanxin left. Zheng Kai patted his face to make sure that he was not dreaming. When he watched her walking away, he wished that he had wings and could fly beside her his whole life. When Zheng Kai came back to his dorm, he told all his roommates about this and asked Wang Xiang to help him get dressed.


    After Zheng Kai¡¯s departure, Zhao Yuan used two screws, some iron wire and a wire cutter to mend the guardrail for Wang Xiang. He finished it within 10 minutes, which deeply impressed Wang Xiang. Wang Xiang shook the guardrail a few times and then tried to rest his back on it. When he confirmed that it was fixed, he expressed his gratitude to Zhao Yuan by reciting a line from a famous poem.


    Lin Wenxi thought that Wang Xiang was really overdoing it, as this line was often used topliment some very powerful people.


    After mending the guardrail for Wang Xiang, Zhao Yuan sat next to Lin Wenxi. He found that Lin Wenxi had read this piano score for a long time and asked him to y a tune for himself.


    Lin Wenxi said with a smile, ¡°No, I¡¯m really just so-so. I know someone who¡¯s really talented. The tune she yed is really amazing.¡±


    Zhao Yuan shook his head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t mind it. I don¡¯t know much about piano. Just y a tune for me.¡±


    Lin Wenxi smiled and then told Zhao Yuan everything he knew about Zhu Ziping, the young woman that he had met in the mountain vige.


    After hearing that, Zhao Yuan smirked and said, ¡°There are more than six billion people in this world, and you want to find Yun Che for this Zhu Ziping when you know little about this man¡¯s appearance and background. It¡¯s impossible.¡±


    Lin Wenxi replied smilingly, ¡°Yeah, the world is so big, but you still meet me.¡±


    Upon hearing that, Wang Xiang who sat on his bed echoed, ¡°Ah, this is Yuanfen (destiny/ape¡¯s manure).¡± (In Mandarin Chinese, the word for destiny and that for ape¡¯s manure are homophones.)


    Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi smiled at each other.


    Wang Xiang continued while covering his nose, ¡°It¡¯s so stinky!¡±


    Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi came at Wang Xiang together. Wang Xiang cried all the way out of the dorm and went to ask Gu Xi for help.


    At night, when Lin Wenxi was engrossed in the piano score Colorful Clouds Chasing The Moon and simted ying a piano on his desk, Zheng Kai came back to the dorm quietly without be noticed by anyone except Wang Xiang. Wang Xiangy on the edge of his bed and put his head down to look at Zheng Kai, while shouting, ¡°Hey, Zheng Kai, when did you sneak into the dorm?¡± Only then did Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan notice that Zheng Kai hade back. He was lying on his bed with his hands ced under his head now, seemingly lost in thought. They could not tell at a nce whether he was happy or sad.


    After a while, he sighed, ¡°Well, Zhao Yuan, you once defeated me in drinking. I¡¯ve never expected you to be able to defeat me in love.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean? What happened?¡± Zhao Yuan asked with concern.


    ¡°I just want to tell you, Zhao Yuan. Don¡¯t give up on her because of me. I don¡¯t want to chase after her anymore. After all, we¡¯ve known each other for just three months. I don¡¯t care that much about her. If you really like her, just go get her,¡± Zheng Kai said loudly. ¡°I¡¯ll treat her just as a ssmate. I promise.¡±


    ¡°What happened indeed?¡± Zhao Yuan asked anxiously.


    ¡°It¡¯s none of your business. It was I who craved for what I¡¯m not worthy of, like a toad wanting to eat the meat of a swan! It¡¯s not a bid deal. I¡¯ll find a female toad for myself in the future,¡± Zheng Kai grumbled.


    ¡°Haha! When I meet your girlfriend in the future, I¡¯ll call her a female toad!¡± Wang Xiang teased, but the other three boys in the dorm all remained silent.


    Lin Wenxi was lying on his bed, his face covered by the piano score. He seemed to have fallen asleep.


    Late at night, Zheng Kai opened his eyes and tightly clenched his fist, when he recalled what Chen Wanxin had said to him.


    ¡°Actually, I just want you to do something for me. I want you to tell Lin Wenxi that Zhao Yuan treats him tenderly for a reason. The reason is that I asked Zhao Yuan to ¡®bend¡¯ him.¡±


    ¡°What? You can¡¯t tell him this? I can¡¯t believe that you refused to do such a small thing for me. Me? No! I can¡¯t tell him by myself.¡±


    ¡°Alright, alright, you are a man of integrity. I¡¯m a petty woman who is difficult to get along with!¡±


    ¡°Yes, I fall in love with Zhao Yuan. I used to like a lot of guys, but I never loved any of them.¡±


    ¡°Yes, you won the first prize, but I was not happy about that. I never asked you to get the first prize for me. I just wanted to send you away, as Zhao Yuan kept ming me for urging you to take the risk to climb the cliff and getting Lin Wenxi wounded. Well, it would¡¯ve been great, if Zhao Yuan had won the first prize. I would¡¯ve hugged him and even kissed him on the podium.¡±


    ¡°You owed me a favor during the military training. I want you to return the favor now!¡±


    ¡°Huh? What do you mean by saying that it¡¯s not worthy? I think that it¡¯s worthwhile?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you know that Zhao Yuan refuses to be together with me because of you and Lin Wenxi? He considers you his good friend. And that Lin Wenxi just clings to him all the time. Without you being around, he would have been together with me a long time ago. We would have never needed to feel so awkward!¡±


    ¡°Zheng Kai, you¡¯ll never have a chance with me. You can try, but I advise you to not do it. We¡¯ve known quite a lot about each other for the past 2 months. You¡¯re a person of your word. So am I. I think that you¡¯re a great guy. That¡¯s why I tell you this. Otherwise, I¡¯ll never tell you that we can never be together. I¡¯ll treat you as a random guy who likes me and use you to do all kinds of things for me. ¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t say that you don¡¯t believe that I¡¯m such a kind of person. You don¡¯t know everything about me, but I know a lot about you. Your father Zheng Zihuan is just a clerk in the government of Yangzi County, and your mother Guo Ciyun is just a high school biology teacher. They sent you to Green Fields Military Academy to save money, didn¡¯t they? Even if your parents were peasants, I would be able to know their backgrounds clearly.¡±


    ¡°Do you want to beat me up? Okay, unless you won¡¯t feel ashamed of beating a girl.¡±


    ¡°You won¡¯t tell this to Zhao Yuan. If you do, we don¡¯t even have the chance to be friends.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to do this to you, but I can¡¯t believe that you refused to do such a small thing for me. What did Lin Wenxi do to you to make you like him so much?¡±


    Zheng Kai had not said much during the conversation. When he left, he said with a nk expression on his face, ¡°You¡¯ll regret it.¡±


    He thought, ¡°I told you that I owed you a favor but I never told you that I was nning to repay your favor with my whole life.¡±

 Chapter 45 (Well Versed in Both Academic Knowledge and Sports Skills) To Begin Their Campus Life

    <h4>Chapter 45 (Well Versed in Both Academic Knowledge and Sports Skills) To Begin Their Campus Life</h4>


    Not long after the military training, the students had to take formal sses and lectures. Soon enough, they found out that these courses were as demanding as the military training.


    The university did not require theputer science majors to attend many lectures on their professional knowledge. When Lin Wenxi checked the university timetable, he found out that there were at most two one-hour lectures per weekday and sometimes, there were no sses or lectures to attend on Thursdays and Fridays. However, when he took a look at the exam arrangements. He could not help but gasp in astonishment. They had to take lots of courses and pass lots of exams within the following three months. Theirpulsory courses included physics,which Lin Wenxi hated the most, English, advanced mathematics, discrete mathematics, geography, history, politics, ethics and morality andw basics. Their professional courses included C++ programming, java programming, lura scripting, object-oriented,puter logic,puter architecture, operating system,puterposition and algorithm basis. Wang Xiang, who had already forgotten most of the math knowledge that he learned in his high school, calcted and said, ¡°Gee, we need to attend 85 lectures and pass 23 exams during the first term. That means we have to take an exam for every four lectures we take. And some of the exams are evenbined with hand-on projects, such as building a radio!¡±


    The university timetable was detailed and well-organized. It must have been written by a professional. When Wang Xiang read thest line of words on the timetable, he could not help but cry out, ¡°What? This is ridiculous!¡± After that, he pretended to spout blood and lie dead. Jifu University advised the students to finish all theirpulsory, optional and professional courses sessfully within the first two years and encouraged them to graduate ahead of time or a start their own business during the junior year. Students who finished the courses ahead of time could also win postgraduate rmendations and to further their studies in another university.


    Fortunately, the students could choose to take some extra-curricr courses that they really enjoyed. All of them like these extra-curricr courses very much.


    They could choose to study liberal arts. In this ss, they would explore the history of the ancient China. They would discuss how Li Shizhen had made his professional achievements. They would know that the poem contained in the prelude of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was actually written by Yang Shen instead of the author of the novel and Yang Shen was a top schr banished from the court by the emperor. They would even discuss the real rules in the royal harems and find out more about their own ancestors. Lin Wenxi outshone the others here and never missed a ss. As for students who chose to study the natural sciences, they would be able to tell whether the moon was in its first quarter or second quarter, and some of them would even be able to predict the weather by observing the moon at night. (Their weather forecasts were quite urate, which deeply impressed the other students in the university.) They would also study different human civilizations and even extraterrestrial civilizations. Shu Xiaoman enjoyed this ss very much and liked to predict what Lin Wenxi, a typical Leo, was going to do the next day.


    The extra-curricr arts courses gave the students the chance to learn drawing, singing, dancing, string music, wind music and percussion music. When a teacher found an exceptionally talented student here, he or she would train this student separately to help the student improve his or her skills. Zhang An¡¯an, Chen Wanxin and Shu Xiaoman outshone the others in the dancing ss. Their satin-like skin and graceful gestures made a lot of boys fall for them. As for the sports lovers, they could choose to learn basketball, volleyball, badminton, swimming, shot-put and even bodybuilding. After defeating the basketball coach by himself, Zhao Yuan was deemed to be ¡°half student and half coach¡±. As he coached his ssmates pretty well, the coach gave half of his wages to Zhao Yuan. Apart from basketball ss, Zhao Yuan was also ¡°half student and half coach¡± in the martial arts ss. He taught his ssmates Taekwondo. With his help, even Wang Xiang managed to master some martial arts skills. He often teased himself, ¡°Now I¡¯m sure that I¡¯m invincible in nursing homes and nurseries.¡±


    Students who choose to take social skill ss would learn negotiation skills, lecture skills, and marketing skills. Those who chose to study social sciences would explore how a society or an economy worked and developed. Every time the central government issued a new policy or a NPC member submitted a proposal, they would study it and analyze it. Sometimes, some doctoral students from the other universities woulde here to discuss with them and make friends with them. There was even a physiology ss. Students would observe and study all kinds of behaviors, including sexual behaviors of animals and human beings. Zheng Kai excelled in this ss just as he did in the martial arts ss and the basketball ss. Under the strict supervision of the university, the students in the physiology ss did not do anything out of line. Gu Xi chose some extra-curricr courses too, and Shu Xiaoman believed that he must have chosen all the sses that Zheng Kai would attend.


    Students from the other universities could take these extra-curricr courses of Jifu University as well. If they excelled in their sses, Jifu University would recruit them and help them transfer to this university.


    Not long after the students began to enjoy their campus life, their school counselor told them a piece of exciting news: The Freshmen Contests were going to be held in December. Zhao Yuan had heard a lot about these contests from the girls on the campus and had already told his ssmates to get prepared as early as possible.


    The Freshmen Contests were a series ofpetitions.


    All the freshmen in the university had to take thesepetitions seriously.


    There were singing contest, dancing contest, basketball match, ser match, ping-pong match, poetry-reading contest and English speech contest. This even was like a talent show. All the freshmen in this university and from the other universities and applicants applying for this university couldpete in the contest, but usually, most of the contestants were students of Jifu University. Once a student from another university won a contest here, he or she would win a postgraduate rmendation, which would give him or her a chance to further his or her studies in a key university in the country. Once a student of Jifu University won a contest, he or she would get some credits. Students with high credits would be able to further their studies in some famous university abroad.


    Zhao Yuan, who was not very good at math, calcted his credits for a long time and thought, ¡°With the help of the credits I¡¯ve got by winning a second prize in the wilderness training, I¡¯ll win a postgraduate rmendation which can get me into a key university in the country. If I don¡¯t want to further my studies, I can use the credits to get a chance to work in argepany or start my own business. Many partners of this university arergepanies. I can manage to pull a lot of money for my business.¡± He threw a quick nce at Zheng Kai and said, ¡°They say that it¡¯s not a big deal to win a second or third prize in the whilderness training, but it¡¯s not ture. The credits are worthwhile enough.¡±


    Zheng Kaiughed and said, ¡°I also know that if I don¡¯t want to further my studies, I can give up the rmendation and exchange it for a schrship, some real money!¡± Upon hearing that, his friends allughed and teased him for being too unambitious.


    That being said, they could not really intervene and stop Zheng Kai from using his credits in this way. As Jifu University allowed its students to decide how to use their credits by themselves.


    When everyone was enjoying their wonderful and inspiring campus life, Shu Xiaoman often looked somber. She repeatedly thought, ¡°Should I do as Chen Wanxin said? Should I ¡®test¡¯ their rtionship?¡±

 Chapter 46 (How Does Wenxi Treat You?) Wanxin Enticed Xiaoman

    <h4>Chapter 46 (How Does Wenxi Treat You?) Wanxin Enticed Xiaoman</h4>


    One day, Chen Wanxin asked Shu Xiaoman to pick dance dresses for the dancing contest togther with her. After they decided on the dresses and told the shop owner all the sizes that they needed, Chen Wanxin invited Shu Xiaoman to drink a cup of coffee with her in the best cafe nearby.


    ¡°What do you think about Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi?¡± Chen Yuxin asked with a smile.


    ¡°They¡¯re great being together. I haven¡¯t seen another two boys in the university who get along with each other so well,¡± replied Shu Xiaoman.


    ¡°Well, you should know why Zhao Yuan treats Wenxi so well. It¡¯s because I asked him to do so in exchange for me being his girlfriend.¡± Chen Wanxin took a sip of her coffee, picked out a good-looking sugar cube, and crushed it.


    ¡°Well, it was because of that in the beginning,¡± Shu Xiaoman said and took a sip of her coffee. After that, she added, ¡°This ck coffee has little sugar. Although it¡¯s bitter, it can stimte the central nervous system and help us lose fat. I think I can bring some ck coffee back to the dorm for An¡¯an.¡±


    Chen Wanxin almost lost interest in speaking to Shu Xiaoman again.


    She looked at this simple-minded roommate and mused for a moment, ¡°My coffee must be sweet.¡± She crushed thest sugar cube in the dish and said while smirking. ¡°If Wenxi knows this, what will he do?¡±


    ¡°Well, I think we¡¯d better keep this a secret forever,¡± Shu Xiaoman said, her eyes widened in surprise.


    ¡°If Wenxi never knows about this, won¡¯t you feel that it looks like that Zhao Yuan is lying to him all the time? If their rtionship starts from deception, it¡¯s not so pure and good. Don¡¯t you think so?¡±


    ¡°Um, you have a point, but they do enjoy staying together now. Zhao Yuan really likes Wenxi. He takes such a good care of him and often buys ketchup and olive oil to cook for him. I watched him go to the office to apply for the liberal arts ss yesterday. He can¡¯t be interested in the ss. He chose the ss for Wenxi. Wenxi is an assistant teacher in that ss now. And, you know what. Wenxi has applied for a basketball ss, and Zhao Yuan will be his coach. They just like each other and enjoy being together.¡±


    Chen Wanxin felt a dull pain in her chest and was rendered speechless. She slowly adjusted her sitting position and drank up her coffee. She lit ady cigarette and watched the smoke rising up. Tears wetted her eye sockets, as she thought dejectedly, ¡°Zhao Yuan delivered me breakfast together with Lin Wenxi every day, except for the first day. In thest day of the month, I felt that I had a lot of things to tell him, but he just said smilingly, ¡®Now, we break up.''¡± When Zhao Yuan announced the end of his rtionship with Chen Wanxin in front of many people, he looked relieved. After that, Chen Wanxin received many love letters and gifts from the other boys, but she still felt sad.


    She could not understand. ¡°What happened to me? Many guys from rich and powerful families of this city fall for me. They¡¯re my equals, and I¡¯ve known many of them since childhood. Why didn¡¯t I fall in love with any one of them? Why do I have to love a son of a rural hunter and a hawker? As for this Lin Wenxi, he¡¯s an elegant and refined young man, but he¡¯s just a son of an ordinary family. Maybe that¡¯s why these two guys look so well-matched.


    ¡°No! That¡¯s not ture!¡±


    She asked, ¡°Xiaoman, how does Wenxi treat you?¡± A sudden gust of cold wind blew into the cafe through the window. Shu Xiaoman could not help but shiver.


    ¡°Well, he just treats me as a ssmate, probably more friendly than he does the other girls,¡± Shu Xiaoman replied and felt uneasy.


    ¡°You know what. I¡¯m just wondering why you often sigh and discuss constetions and numerology with An¡¯an when you hope that Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi could be together. I guess that you might¡¯ve checked your constetion and that of Lin Wenxi many times to figure out whether you¡¯re well-matched. You probably have checked the constetions of Zhao Yuan, Zheng Kai, Wang Xiang and Gu Xi, but in the end, you found out that you¡¯re the best for him. Am I right?¡±


    ¡°Well, that¡¯s not a big deal. The fact is that Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxin are meant to be,¡± said Shu Xiaoman.


    ¡°Meant to be? Well, I really want to find out whether they¡¯re meant to be. If they are, we have nothing to say. But if they¡¯re not, these four years will be exceptionally long and hard for you...¡± Chen Wanxin sighed.


    ¡°How can we find out whether they¡¯re meant to be?¡± asked Shu Xiaoman.


    Chen Wanxin raised her eyebrow and said smilingly, ¡°Tell Lin Wenxi the bet between Zhao Yuan and me. If they do love each other, they will take it as a joke and won¡¯t be affected, and you can get over him once and for all. You won¡¯t need to feel dejected every day and will go back to being the lovely, straightforward and simple girl. If they make a fuss about this trifle and even break up because of it, we can tell that they don¡¯t really love each other. Do you really think that everyone can ept their rtionship? Lin Wenxi is just pathetic if Zhao Yuan is lying to him all this time. But you¡¯re even more pathetic than him. You upy a seat for him in the library and wash clothes for him every day, but he just knows nothing about it.¡±


    After a moment of silence, Shu Xiaoman said, ¡°I, I sincerely hope that they can stay together.¡±


    ¡°So, you have to make sure that Zhao Yuan truely loves Lin Wenxi. Don¡¯t you want Lin Wenxi to be happy? If Zhao Yuan is lying to Lin Wenxi all this time, you should ask him to end this rtionship as soon as possible! ¡°Both of your parents are doctors. You should know that some patients just don¡¯t want to admit their diseases and even refuse to receive necessary treatment. If Lin Wenxi is really ill, don¡¯t you want him to face the reality?¡±


    ¡°Well...¡± Shu Xiaoman hesitated. She nned to discuss this matter with Zhang An¡¯an.


    Just at this moment, Chen Wanxin said, ¡°Don¡¯t go to ask An¡¯an for help again. An¡¯an will definitely agree with me. And you¡¯ve kept doing what she suggested sinceing to this university. Even though her suggestions were good, you should sometimes listen to your own heart. You should learn to make decisions by youself.¡±


    Shu Xiaoman thought for a long time and then nodded silently. Upon seeing that, Chen Wanxin said that she had to leave now and hurriedly walked away. She came out of the cafe and then took a taxi to the provincial hospital. She had already found out where that person was.


    After talking with Chen Wanxin in the cafe, Shu Xiaoman had been busy practicing dancing together with Chen Wanxin and Zhang An¡¯an for the contest during these days. She still felt not sure about Chen Wanxin¡¯s suggestion.


    The freshmen contests were about to begin.


    Chen Wanxin and all her roommates had signed up for the dancing contest. As Chen Wanxin was a great choreographer, she quickly won everyone¡¯s recognition. After the knockout stage, only 12 girls, including Chen Wanxin, Zhang An¡¯an, Shu Xiaoman and Zhou Nannan, were picked out as finalists to form a team, and a few other girls were selected as substitutes.


    One day, Chen Wanxin saw Zhang An¡¯an eating chicken legs in the lounge during the break, she went to sit beside Zhang An¡¯an and said, ¡°An¡¯an, you know that everyone says that the 12 of us are the most attractive and talented girls in this grade. But every time I look at the girls standing together on the stage, I¡¯ll feel that something does not look quite right.¡± With these words, she pinched Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s bby waist.


    Zhang An¡¯an deftly threw the chicken bones into the trash can and wiped her hands. She patted Chen Wanxin¡¯s shoulder and said confidently, ¡°Well, I can gird up my loins. It¡¯s not a big deal. Haven¡¯t you noticed this?¡± She lifted her chest and proudly showed Chen Wanxin her big boobs.


    ¡°Just control yourself... You boyfriend has just recognized a girl as his ¡®sister¡¯. Don¡¯t you feel worried about that?¡± Chen Wanxin watched Zhang An¡¯an with concern.


    ¡°That¡¯s alright. I know that girl and I¡¯ve approved it.¡± Zhang An¡¯an grabbed Chen Wanxin¡¯s hand and continued, ¡°Why do you and Xiaoman look so worried? Do you have anything to tell me?¡±


    Chen Wanxin threw a nce at Shu Xiaoman and replied smilingly, ¡°No, nothing. We just worked too hard for this contest. As you don¡¯t like to go out, we have to go out to get everything prepared. We¡¯re so tired that both of us have lost weight.¡±


    ¡°Well, thank you for being so considerate. But I¡¯m really bored to death when staying in the dorm alone. Wang Zhengjuan just never wants to leave Nannan. As for Wang Xiang, this bastard just keeps buying me snacks!¡± Zhang An¡¯an could not help but rub her bby belly.


    When Chen Wanxin walked past Shu Xiaoman, she said in a low voice, ¡°So, tonight is the time. Remeber it, Xiaoman.¡±


    Shu Xiaoman was rendered speechless.

 Chapter 47 (My Best Friend Had A Thing for Me) Gu Kai and Zheng Kai’s Past

    <h4>Chapter 47 (My Best Friend Had A Thing for Me) Gu Kai and Zheng Kai¡¯s Past</h4>


    As Chen Wanxin¡¯s dancing team and Zhao Yuan¡¯s basketball team had been built up, Chen Wanxin invited all her team members and all the members of Zhao Yuan¡¯s team to have a party tonight. Everybody was excited upon hearing this suggestion and readily agreed. The three boys from Dorm No.216 enjoyed singing and drinking and could not wait to start the party and impress everyone. Zhao Yuan managed to invite another person to this party. He believed that this person¡¯sing would pleasantly surprise everyone.


    Despite theplicated rtionships between the guys of Dorm No.216 and the girls of Dorm No. 213, they never felt awkward ying together. All the girls of Dorm No. 213 would go to the party. Zhao Yuan also dragged Lin Wenxi, who was not on his basketball team, out of their dorm to join this party.


    Zhao Yuan said, ¡°You should go out to y. You read that piano score every day. If you continue to do that, you¡¯ll get moss growing on you.¡± Lin Wenxi said, ¡°I won¡¯t join any contest unless the trophy is a piano.¡±


    Zhao Yuan found this hrious and sighed secretly, ¡°This Lin Wenxi is indeed childish. Credits are much more valuable than a piano.¡± He said, ¡°Fuck the piano. Forget about it now. I¡¯ll buy you a piano in the future!¡±


    Lin Wenxi pped his hands and asked gleefully, ¡°When?¡± Zhao Yuan replied with a smile, ¡°When you get married.¡± Lin Wenxi grumpily turned his face away.


    Gu Xi happened to hear that. He pettishly shook Zheng Kai¡¯s arm and said in a sweet voice, ¡°Kaikai, I want a piano too.¡±


    Zheng Kai was rendered speechless and used his thumb to poke Gu Xi¡¯s head. He sighed, ¡°s, can you just try to act normally?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m acting normally now. Haven¡¯t you gotten used to me? Don¡¯t they say that living things can always manage to adapt themselves to circumstances?¡± Gu Xi blinked his eyes and said smilingly.


    ¡°Living things can change the circumstances as well,¡± said Zheng Kai.


    ¡°Come on, let¡¯s see whether you can change me. Change me now! Big Xixi,e join me!¡± Gu Xi grabbed Zheng Kai¡¯s thick arm and pulled himself up. Some substitutes of the basketball team sneered at him, but he did not care about it at all.


    Zheng Kai felt really helpless.


    Back in the Green Fields Military Academy, Zheng Kai had always been a silent boy, except at the monthly parties of the school. One night, when he walked past a public washroom, he happened to see a group of boys bully a good-looking boy. That boy just refused to back down no matter how the other boys abused him. Such a thing could be seen from time to time in the Green Field Military Academy, and most people in this school, including Zheng Kai, would never interfere in such a situation. Nevertheless, he was tipsy that day and somehow decided to help the good-looking boy out. He quickly knocked all the bad guys down and saved that boy. That boy was Gu Xi. At that time, he was the top chef of his ss, and the boys loved his dishes very much and wanted him to cook for them privately. Gu Xi did not want to defy the school rules and refused them. As such, they dragged him into the public washroom to pour cold water and even urine on him.


    Since that night, those bad boys had held a grudge against Zheng Kai. Althought they could not defeat him in a fight, they could make all kinds of troubles for him. At such times, Gu Xi would always step forward bravely to help Zheng Kai. Despite that, most of the time, both of them would still get framed by the bad boys and punished by the school. As Zheng Kai worked diligently day and night and had to receive harsh physical training every day, he fell ill and did not have a good appetite. Gu Xi, who was younger that Zheng Kai but was in a higher grade, decided to stay down this year to take care of Zheng Kai. He lived together with Zheng Kai in the school hospital and prepared medicine and food for him every day for three consecutive months. Gu Xi was tired out and fell ill during these three months, but he never stopped taking care of Zheng Kai.


    On a rainy night, when Zheng Kai suddenly took a turn for the worse and needed blood transfusions, he apanied the school doctor to go to another county several kilometers away to fetch the blood that Zheng Kai needed. On their way back, their car crashed. He took off his coat to protect the blood freezer and took a taxi to deliver the blood to the hospital. When he came back, he fainted and fell to the ground after giving the blood storage box to the doctors at the gate of the hospital. When Zheng Kai viewed the video footage from the security cameras in the hospital, he saw Gu Xi, who was slender and wore only some light clothes, stumble all the way to the hospital in the cold winter rain while tightly holding a blood storage box. Since then, Zheng Kai had always considered Gu Xi his best friend.


    Zheng Kai recovered very well after the three months. Not long after that, he won a martial arts contest of the school and made great achievements in a military training. Because of his increasing reputation, those bad boys dared not to bully him anymore.


    Beyond Zheng Kai¡¯s expectation, he gradually discovered that his best friend Gu Xi seemed to have a thing for him. The other boys in the school also discovered this and looked at them differently. Zheng Kai did not want to lose this good friend, but he still tried to talk with Gu Xi about this matter. Every time they talked about this, Gu Xi would end up crying like a baby. As such, Zheng Kai decided to keep Gu Xi at a distance and stopped talking about this matter unless Gu Xi did something out of line. Zheng Kai was always a straight guy and disliked guys who were sissy. He had never expected that one of his best friends would have turned out to be sissy.


    When the dancing team, which had 12 finalists and 3 substitutes, and the basketball team, which had 5 finalists and 5 substitutes, gathered at the gate of the university, Chen Wanxin was surprised to find out that there were 27 of them.


    ¡°Oh, Wenxi is here too. And hey, Gu Xi. Do you guyse to boost our morale or something?¡± Chen Wanxin grabbed Gu Xi¡¯s arm and asked. Gu Xi wiggled his body and said, ¡°No, please don¡¯t touch me!¡±


    Upon seeing that, everyone burst intoughter. Suddenly, they heard a loud female voice. ¡°Nannan, why didn¡¯t you invite me to this big party? How can you do this to me?¡± Wang Zhengjuan said and came over to grab Zhou Nannan¡¯s arm. Zhou Nannan was startled but then when she found out that no one was looking at them differently, she felt rxed. Wang Zhengjuan gently poked Zhou Nannan¡¯s forehead with a finger and said, ¡°Rx. It¡¯s not a big deal. Don¡¯t you see that An¡¯an and Xiaoman always go hand in hand when they go shopping together. Don¡¯t be so sensitive!¡± Zhou Nannan snorted and could not help but blush.


    The groupughed and walked to a karaoke near the university.


    As it was the first time Lin Wenxi hade to such a ce, he felt somewhat nervous. Shu Xiaoman looked around with interest and then she gently pushed Lin Wenxi while asking, ¡°Wenxi, look at this well-decorated ce. Do you think that we can afford ying here?¡±


    Wang Zhengjuanughed out loud and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s my treat!¡± Upon hearing that, everyone was surprised and shifted their gaze toward Wang Zhengjuan, who was dressed in pure ck and looked cool. Chen Wanxin swallowed her words and smirked. After that, she thanked Zhou Nannan with a smile. Zhou Nannan smiled bashfully and said, ¡°That¡¯s alright, as long as you guys can have fun here.¡± Chen Wanxin felt a little ufortable and said, ¡°Look at you. You really consider yourself a hostess to us all.¡± Zhang An¡¯an echoed and then teased Wang Xiang since he had not offered to pay for this party just now. The girls chatted and giggled.


    They went into their karaoke room and got deeply impressed by this well-decorated ce.


    ¡°This is Rococo style, just like the style of the Pce of Versailles. It¡¯s delicate and exquisite.¡± Zhou Nannanmented calmly.


    Their room was on the top floor of this building. It was the best room in this karaoke. It was about 200 square meters and big enough for more than 50 people. Its ceiling and walls were all covered with exquisite patterns, and the chairs here were all light golden. The mats and cushions inside the room were all beautifully embroidered. Lin Wenxi looked at this ce and thought, ¡°If we went dutch here, I would have to ask Wang Xiang to lend me some money.¡±

 Chapter 48 (Wenxi, I Am Sorry) Zhang Dong Bitterly Regretted What He had Done

    <h4>Chapter 48 (Wenxi, I Am Sorry) Zhang Dong Bitterly Regretted What He had Done</h4>


    The boys and girls enjoyed themselves at the karaoke. They drank, sang, rolled dice and yed poker or mahjong.


    Lin Wenxi and Gu Yu kept whispering to each other, and Zhao Yuan sat cross-legged beside them and looked at them smilingly. Sometimes, Zhao Yuan would leave to drink and then quicklye back. Lin Wenxi did not say a word to Zhao Yuan, but every time he felt tired, Zhao Yuan would notice that and approach him to let him lean on his body.


    Zhao Yuan took such a good care of the two boys. Shu Xiaoman was amazed upon seeing that.


    Suddenly, they heard a sweet female voice and could not help but listen to her attentively. She sang like an angel and deeply impressed everyone in the karaoke room.


    It was Zhang An¡¯an singing a love song. ¡°You¡¯re always brave and always protect me. I¡¯m somewhat petty but care a lot about you. I¡¯m really blessed to have you in my life...¡±


    Zheng Kai kicked Wang Xiang into the center of the dance floor and said, ¡°You react really slowly. You¡¯re the one who deserves to be single for a lifetime!¡±


    Wang Xiang hurriedly went over to hold Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s hand and sang together with her. ¡°Give you my hand, like a gentle beast. Give my freedom to...¡± The boys and girls who have just been deeply impressed by Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s singing voice could not help but boo Wang Xiang, since he had such a hoarse and loud voice and totally ruined the song. His singing voice did remind everyone of a roaring beast.


    Zhao Yuan chuckled upon seeing that while talking to someone on the phone. Lin Wenxi heard him say, ¡°The 16th floor, the room near the main entrance.¡±


    When the boys and girls were making catcalls toward Wang Xiang, the door was suddenly pushed open, letting some cold air flow into the room. A person who wore a military coat and looked travel-worn stepped into the room. Because of the dazzling light inside the room, none of them recognized who he was.


    ¡°You guys really have a good time here.¡± Upon hearing his voice, everyone cheered. ¡°It¡¯s Zhang Dong!¡±


    Zhang Dong walked out of the shadow and into the light. He took off his hat, revealing his short ck hair. He had thick eyebrows, a hooked nose and a chiseled jawline, looking quite handsome and masculine.


    The boys flocked to their military instructor excitedly, and the girls looked at him surprisedly. They wondered why they had not noticed this good-looking young man during the military training. He really stood out among the soldiers.


    Lin Wenxi stood behind the crowd and greeted Zhang Dong by nodding to him. Zhang Dong approached the boy and put his arm around his shoulders. When they sat down together, Zhang Dong said, ¡°I told you that we would have a chance to drink together in the future.¡± With these words, he poured a cup of liquor and gave it to Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxi drank it up without saying a word. Somehow he felt that this liquor tasted exceptionally sweet.


    ording to Zhang Dong, he hade to the city on business and happened to hear about this party. He said that he just wanted toe here to have fun. Every boy came up to drink a toast to him, and he drank a toast back to each of them. When a girl came to drink a toast to him, he would drink two cups of liquor to show his respect. Everyone liked this gant soldier very much.


    He chatted with them about a lot of things, such as the news, the sports and even some TV series that the girls liked very much. When he asked them about their Freshmen Contests, Chen Wanxin said that she was determined to win the first prize in the dancing contest, and Zhao Yuan expressed that it was just a piece of cake for his team to win the basketball match.


    Upon hearing that, Shu Xiaoman whispered to Lin Wenxi, ¡°Zhao Yuan and Wanxin are really well-matched.¡±


    Lin Wenxi remained silent.


    Shu Xiaoman continued, ¡°But why did they suddenly break up? You know what. In the beginning, when Zhao Yuan asked Wanxin to be his girlfriend, Wanxin said that she would never say yes to him unless he sessfully ¡®bended¡¯ you. He really treated you tenderly after that. Even I felt envious upon seeing you guys being together. But now, he seems to enjoy being together with you and doesn¡¯t think about Wanxin anymore!¡±


    Lin Wenxi was startled and asked, ¡°What did you say?¡±


    Shu Xiaoman repeated what she had said and asked, ¡°Are you really in a rtionship with Zhao Yuan?¡±


    Lin Wenxi felt so irritated that he nearly cked out. He felt somewhat dizzy and turned to look at Zhao Yuan. After drinking with Zhang Dong, Zhao Yuan went to roll dice together with Zheng Kai. Their faces were red now. Theyughed and looked excited.


    Lin Wenxi thought to himself, ¡°No, this is not true.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan has treated me very well since the first day we met. He did not do this because of Chen Wanxin, although he did use Chen Wanxin to make me feel jealous during the past few months. That¡¯s not a big deal. Well, I can ask him about this matterter. This is just nothing but a joke.¡±


    Despite that, he was still somewhat sad after knowing this. When he felt that tears started to wet the corners of his eyes, he hurriedly went to the bathroom. When he came back, his face was covered with small drops of water, and some of his hair got wet too.


    ¡°I know that you can drink more than that.¡± Zhang Dong gently patted Lin Wenxi¡¯s back and asionally pinched his spine. Lin Wenxi found this feeling somewhat familiar and suddenly trembled. He wondered, ¡°Is it Zhang Dong?¡± He looked at Zhang Dong in utter disbelief and thought to himself, ¡°No, I must¡¯ve thought too much. I must be confused and crazy now. But I guess it¡¯s alright to ask him some questions in a joking tone.¡±


    ¡°Instructor Zhang, were you a student of Zhenbei high school in Yangzi County?¡± While saying this, Lin Wenxi could not help but chuckle. He thought, ¡°I must be crazy. That boy can¡¯t be Zhang Dong. That thing happened 6 years ago, and at that time Zhang Dong probably still stayed at his hometown in inner Mongolia.¡±


    ¡°Yes...¡± Zhang Dong blurted out. He looked stunned and lost in thought.


    ¡°Six years have passed, but I can never forget about it. Why did I meet this boy again during the military training. It¡¯s such a strange coincidence. He has changed. He¡¯s not the happy little boy anymore. That boy could cheerfully skip all the way back home while humming a tune even when he was alone.¡±


    Lin Wenxi looked at Zhang Dong incredulously and dared not to ask him a question again. To his surprise, Zhang Dong suddenly got emotional and said, ¡°Wenxi, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Zhang Dong was confused by his emotions now. He should have realized that if Lin Wenxi was able to recognize him, he would have known who he was during the military training instead of asking him this question now.


    Zhang Dong bitterly regretted what he had done. Now, he really wanted to kill himself in front of Lin Wenxi to cleanse the sins.


    ¡°You¡¯re sorry?¡± Lin Wenxi could hardly believe what he had heard.


    He thought to himself, ¡°Why did he say that he¡¯s sorry. Why did he apologize to me?¡± Zhang Dong reached his hands out toward Lin Wenxi, trying tofort him. Upon seeing the hands, Lin Wenxi thought to himself,¡±These hands, these hands, back in that pitch-dark night...¡±


    ¡°No! Why is it you?¡± Lin Wenxi screamed out loud. He sounded miserable and desperate.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Wenxi...¡± Zhang Dong muttered to himself.


    Lin Wenxi picked up a cup of liquor and poured it on Zhang Dong¡¯s face to vent his anger, but he felt that it was not enough. He picked up a beer bottle and mmed it on Zhang Dong¡¯s head.


    As Lin Wenxi was a quiet and mild person, no one had expected him to do such thing. Zhao Yuan had felt that something was not quite right when he saw Lin Wenxi pick up the beer bottle. He had nned to go there to help Zhang Dong out, but the next moment, he thought that it was unnecessary to help this nimble and strong soldier. He had never expected Zhang Dong to remain still and let Lin Wenxi m the bottle on his head. Upon seeing the beer flowing down Zhang Dong¡¯s face together with his blood, everyone was panicked and hurriedly came over to help him treat the wound. Suddenly, they heard the door m. Lin Wenxi stormed out of the room.


    ¡°Leave me alone!¡± Zhang Dong shouted harshly. He picked up his coat and hurriedly ran out of the door.


    Shu Xiaoman was shocked. She covered her mouth with her hand, tears welling up in her eyes. She wondered, ¡°Oh, what happened? Lin Wenxi looks so sad and angry. ¡°But shouldn¡¯t he be mad at me? Why did he beat Zhang Dong instead of me?¡±


    When everyone was stunned and felt lost, Zhao Yuan rapidly ran out of the door.

 Chapter 49 (Feeling Helpless in a Dark Alley) Painful Memories

    <h4>Chapter 49 (Feeling Helpless in a Dark Alley) Painful Memories</h4>


    Someone said confusedly, ¡°Hasn¡¯t Zhang Dong always taken care of Lin Wenxi?¡±


    ¡°What was going on?¡± Gu Yu asked Shu Xiaoman, the nearest bystander of the conflict, but she cried so hard that she could not utter a single word.


    Chen Wanxin contemtively looked at Shu Xiaoman and felt very surprised.


    ¡°Come on, they¡¯re grown-up men. Let them handle their own business. Let¡¯s continue to y,¡± Wang Zhengjuan said and immediately came up with a game, which was simr to music chairs. Instead of snatching chairs, they passed around a sheet of paper with their mouths and the one who failed to pass the paper to the next person when the music stopped would be eliminated. The boys and girls felt excited upon hearing this idea. They asked the waiters toe in and clean the table for them. After that, they gleefully began to y.


    Shu Xiaoman did not seem to be interested in this game at all. She stood up and wanted to go out. Zhang An¡¯an grabbed her hand to stop her and slowly shook her head toward her, while saying, ¡°Tell me what happened.¡±


    As Shu Xiaoman refused to talk to her, Zhang An¡¯an dragged Wang Xiang aside and whispered something beside his ear while throwing a quick nce at Chen Wanxin. Evidently, she had already guessed what had happened to Shu Xiaoman.


    The next moment, Zhang An¡¯an pushed Wang Xiang away whileining. ¡°Sigh, how can you be so stupid?¡±


    Wang Xiang scratched his ear and went back to drink with the boys while muttering to himself. ¡°That¡¯s ridiculous. You¡¯re not making any sense.¡±


    Chen Wanxin yed a piece of dance music and proposed a toast to keep the party lively. They guys felt excited again and quickly forgot about what had just happened.


    ¡°I have to leave now. Help me find him and then contact me,¡± Zhang Dong said to Zhao Yuan on the phone.


    ¡°Please rest assured. He¡¯s my roommate. I have the responsibility and obligation to take care of him.¡± Zhao Yuan replied. After leaving the karaoke club, he went to the top of a nearby pedestrian bridge to look around, searching for Lin Wenxi. He believed that Lin Wenxi would not want to go back to the university now.


    Zhang Dong got into a military car. His driver nced at him and asked teasingly, ¡°Brother Dong, how did you get hurt during such a short time?Did you catch your woman cheating or something?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s none of your business. Let¡¯s get down to some serious business and go to find Boss Mo now,¡± Zhang Dong replied in a deep voice while wiping the blood off his forehead with a tissue and taking some shards of ss out of his wound. After that, he acted as if nothing had happened and continued to chat with his driver cheerfully.


    One hourter, after searching nearly all the ces nearby, Zhao Yuan came to a fountain square near the campus. He sat beside the fountain, in a daze. After a moment, he felt somewhat surprised and wondered, ¡°Isn¡¯t here a dazzling musical fountain performance every night? Why is it so quiet now? And where¡¯s the fountain?¡± Zhao Yuan felt that the air was humid here and thought, ¡°Maybe the performance stopped not long ago.¡± Zhao Yuan heaved a long sigh and saw the steame out of his mouth.


    Suddenly, he heard someonein, ¡°What a pity. If that boy hadn¡¯t stepped into the fountain and stayed there for more than half an hour, the performance would not have stopped this early.¡±


    Someone echoed, ¡°Yes. He must be crazy. Who would want to step into a cold fountain in the winter? He¡¯ll suffer from frostbite if he has not frozen to death.¡±


    Their words made Zhao Yuan¡¯s heart ache. He thought anxiously, ¡°What? He stepped into the cold fountain and stayed there for more than half an hour! Why did he torture himself like that? What happened to him?¡±


    Finally, he got through to Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxi¡¯s voice sounded exceptionally cold.


    ¡°I¡¯vee back to the dorm,¡± he said on the phone.


    ¡°I¡¯lle back to find you. Just stay in the dorm and don¡¯t go anywhere,¡± said Zhao Yuan. When he was about to speak again, Lin Wenxi hung up on him.


    When he walked up the stairs, he saw obvious water stains all along the way. He opened the door of Dorm No. 216 and saw water stains at the door, inside the room and in front of Lin Wenxi¡¯s desk. He found some wet clothes in the bucket and then he saw Lin Wenxi lying on his bed, shivering. He wrapped himself in a thick blue quilt and buried his wet head in the quilt too. Zhao Yuan noticed that the air was humid inside the dorm and went to open the door of the bathroom. He discovered that the floor of the room was wet. He touched the shower-head and found out that it was freezing cold. ¡°This stupid boy!¡± He could not help but sigh inside his heart.


    Zhao Yuan was a little upset. He slowly sat down beside Lin Wenxi, and then he stood up again and went downstairs to buy some ginger powder. He made some warm ginger tea with the powder, calmed himself down and then gently patted Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Wenxi, get up and drink some ginger tea. Otherwise you¡¯ll catch a cold.¡±


    Lin Wenxi revealed his face. His lips had turned purple because of the cold. He moved his shivering lips and said slowly, ¡°You didn¡¯t prepare the cinnamon juice just for me. I remember that at that time, Chen Wanxin caught a cold too.¡± He paused and then muttered. ¡°I smelt the fried fish inside her tent that evening, but I kept telling myself that I would find another extinguished campfire you left and I would find some fried fish there. If you just wanted to leave the fish to her, why did you use the eyes that I drew to mark the spot?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯re you talking about, Wenxi? Stop talking nonsense.¡± Zhao Yuan felt confused and urged Lin Wenxi to take some ginger tea now.


    Lin Wenxi lifted up his hand to knock over the cup and sshed the ginger tea on his desk. After that, he sat up and took out a square box from his backpack. It contained a pair of paper eyes that he drew. The eyes looked ferocious and welled up with blood drops. Upon seeing them, Lin Wenxi felt that his eyes were sour. He somehow felt that these eyes were really crying tears of blood. He felt upset and tore them into pieces.


    Zhao Yuan quietly wiped the ginger tea off the desk. Not long after that, Zheng Kai and Wang Xiang walked into the dorm, looking tipsy. Gu Xi also came to this dorm. He hurriedly went to hold Lin Wenxi tofort him.


    Zheng Kai looked at the cup on the ground and the water on the desk and said loudly, ¡°Wenxi, just tell us what happened. We¡¯ll help you out if you have trouble. Don¡¯t just keep it to yourself and make all of us feel confused.¡±


    ¡°s, don¡¯t you know that guys also have a few ufortable days every month? Brother Kai, let give him some time to calm down,¡± Wang Xiang said smilingly.


    ¡°Fuck! He mmed a beer bottle on someone¡¯s head. And that someone is our military instructor! Are you saying that he did this just because he suddenly felt ufortable? Wenxi, just tell us. You¡¯ll feel better by telling us the truth,¡± said Zheng Kai. He was obviously drunk tonight. He had never talked so much before.


    ¡°Zheng Kai! Just give him some time!¡± Zhao Yuan said in a deep voice.


    ¡°What the fuck! Aren¡¯t we brothers? Brothers hide nothing from one another. If he has some trouble, he should, should tell us. We¡¯re brothers and we should, should help one another... But he just has a tantrum and remains silent. What the fuck is he doing?¡± Zheng Kai staggered and then slumped on Wang Xiang¡¯s bed. He drank too much tonight, as he always lost in the games and got punished to drink. Apart from that, he was often tricked by his cunning friends into drinking. He was too drunk that he sat on Wang Xiang¡¯s belly without knowing it at all. Wang Xiang groaned intively, giving Zheng Kai goosebumps. He immediately pressed a pillow into Wang Xiang¡¯s face to stop him from making any sound. Wang Xiang struggled, trying to get rid of Zheng Kai.


    ¡°Come on, brother Kai. Do you really think that brothers should hide nothing from one another? If one of your brothers asks you to tell him everything about yourself since your childhood, will you tell him?¡± Gu Xi twitched his mouth and said.


    ¡°Huh, you brat. I can tell my brother everything. If you want to know, I¡¯ll tell them to you tonight. Come here, let¡¯s talk for a whole night!¡± Zheng Kai pointed at Gu Xi and said.


    Gu Xi¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and he could not wait to throw himself into Zheng Kai¡¯s arms and talk with him for the whole while sleeping together with him. He did not care about whether it was because Zheng Kai was drunk tonight. The next moment, he looked at Lin Wenxi and felt worried and hesitant.


    Lin Wenxi had soaked himself in the cold water at the fountain and walked back to the dorm in the cold wind. He had even taken a cold shower before going to bed. When his cold body gradually became warm under the quilt, he felt dizzy and sleepy. As such, he fell asleep fast.


    He had a dream. In a cold and windy night, someone blindfolded him and dragged him into total darkness. He was desperate and panicked and did not know what was going on or what that person was going to do. He was afraid that he would not be able to see the sunrise tomorrow.


    He kept struggling until he could not move anymore. That person held him tightly. He felt that beads of cold sweat quickly formed on his head, forehead, and all over his body.


    He felt helpless and hurt and kept groaning, but no one heard him. At that moment, he thought that no one really cared about him.


    When that person finally stopped, he tightly held him and kept apologizing to him.


    That person left quietly, leaving him alone in the quiet alley.


    Before leaving the ce, that person put all the clothes back on him.


    When he removed the ck cloth around his eyes, he still could not see anything. He desperately ran to the main street and saw many people there. They all looked decent and walked fast. He shivered in the wind, but no one noticed him. No one cared about him. He felt as if he was a piece of garbage, which was going to be buried forever.


    When he went home, he washed himself many times but still felt that there was a sticky substance between his legs. This feeling haunted him and made him want to kill himself.


    He said to himself, ¡°If I meet this person again, I¡¯ll kill him at any cost. I won¡¯t mind perishing together with him!¡±


    He kept this secret to himself and never dared to get close to any stranger again. Sometimes, when he wanted to end his life and gave up this dirty body, he would think of his parents. ¡°No, I can¡¯t die now. I¡¯d better do what my parents want in this life, and when they die, I¡¯ll kill myself. No, that¡¯s not enough. I have to know who is that person before I die.¡±


    Over these years, he had this dream many times. In fact, it was not a dream but something that had really happened to him. It was like a scar in his heart. When he woke up, he found himself soaked with sweat. His face was cold, and his bitter tears were in the corners of his mouth. Under the moonlight, he saw a person sitting quietly beside him. He sat with his elbow on his knee and his chin in his hand. This person was just dozing beside him, but Lin Wenxi was somehow frightened and cried out. ¡°Piss off! Don¡¯te close to me!¡±


    The next moment, he heard that person say, ¡°Do you wake up? It¡¯s alright. It¡¯s me. Don¡¯t be afraid.¡± ¡°It¡¯s Zhao Yuan,¡± Lin Wenxi thought and fell asleep again. Zhao Yuan gently patted Lin Wenxi and then fell asleep beside him.

 Chapter 50 (Why Do You Have to Set Yourself against Everyone?) Wenxi Blew Up at His Friends

    <h4>Chapter 50 (Why Do You Have to Set Yourself against Everyone?) Wenxi Blew Up at His Friends</h4>


    When Lin Wenxi woke up again, he saw Zhao Yuan bent over his desk, snoring. It was winter now, but Zhao Yuan still wore only a thin sweater and a coat. Upon seeing that, Lin Wenxi could not help but think worriedly, ¡°It was really cold and windyst night. He drank so much beer and went out to find me in the chilly weather. It¡¯s not good for his health no matter how strong he is.¡±


    His nose twitched and he began to weep.


    He thought to himself, ¡°Zhao Yuan, I know that you¡¯re optimistic and humorous and can make fun of anything, but what do you really think about me? Do you take me seriously? Or do you just treat me well because of a bet? I don¡¯t me you. I can¡¯t me you. My body was dirty. I can¡¯t ask you to adore me and cherish me.¡±


    He got out of his bed and saw a cup of cold ginger tea on his desk. Beside the ginger tea, there were a few buns and tarts and a bottle of soy milk. He found a note beneath the bottle. It was left by Gu Xi.


    ¡°Big Xixi, just be happy. Remember to eat your breakfast.¡±


    Lin Wenxi packed some of his clothes and left the university.


    When Zhao Yuan woke up, he yawned and smiled. He had been busy taking care of Lin Wenxist night and fallen asleep at 5:00 am or 6:00 am this morning. To his surprise, he had a good dream. He dreamed that he had an unforgettable night together with Lin Wenxi. In his dream, Lin Wenxi looked at him with smiling eyes, and there were red silk curtains around their bed and a pair of red candles burning in their room.


    He smacked his lips and turned around. When he saw that Lin Wenxi¡¯s bed was empty, he was startled and broke out in a cold sweat. He looked at himself and found out that Lin Wenxi had covered him with the blue and white coat that he often wore. He touched Lin Wenxi¡¯s bed and quilt. Although the quilt was still somewhat warm, the bed was cold. He thought that Lin Wenxi must have left a long time ago.


    He called Lin Wenxi but failed to get through to him. After that, he called Gu Xi, Wang Xiang and Shu Xiaoman, but still failed to get any clue as to Lin Wenxi¡¯s whereabouts.


    Zhao Yuan asked Wang Xiang to find their university counselor and tell the counselor that they had to contact Lin Wenxi¡¯s parents in an emergency.


    ¡°Why do you want me to do that?¡± asked Wang Xiang.


    ¡°You have the cheek to do anything.¡±


    Wang Xiang beat his breast and sighed before leaving for the counselor¡¯s office.


    Not long after that, he returned dejectedly, as he failed to get the contact information. Zhao Yuan asked him to find the counselor again and tell her that they had to contact Zheng Kai¡¯s parents in an emergency. This time, Wang Xiang seeded.


    Upon seeing the contact information, Zhao Yuan frowned. He went to find the university counselor by himself and sessfully got what he wanted.


    ¡°How did you do that?¡± Wang Xiang asked curiously.


    Zhao Yuan smiled and said, ¡°I just asked her if there¡¯s anything special about Lin Wenxi¡¯s parents? I told her that I just couldn¡¯t understand why she could tell us how to contact Zheng Kai¡¯s parent when she refused to let us contact Lin Wenxi¡¯s parents.¡± Zhao Yuan felt somewhat curious about Lin Wenxi¡¯s family now. All he knew was that Lin Wenxi¡¯s family lived in this city. They had never asked about each other¡¯s family by now. Neither had anyone of them taken the initiative to talk about his own family. Zhao Yuan wondered, ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk about my family for a reason. What about Lin Wenxi? Why didn¡¯t he talk about his family at all?And why did the counselor feel so reluctant to give us the contact information of his parents?¡±


    When talking with Lin Wenxi¡¯s parents on the phone, Zhao Yuan found out that they sound quite nice. They thanked Zhao Yuan and told him that Lin Wenxi hade home this afternoon. Upon hearing that, Zhao Yuan felt relieved.


    Lin Wenxi was the only child of his parents, and they cared a lot about him. As he had locked himself in his room for hours since returning home, his mother Huang Xiya kept crying for hours. Despite that, he still refused toe out. The moment his father Lin Ziwei received the call from Zhao Yuan, he was busy urging his son toe out of his room.


    Not long after that, Lin Ziwei received a call from Lin Wenxi¡¯s university counselor. This counselor was the wife of his subordinate and would tell him everything about his son. Today, she told him a thing that totally irritated him.


    ¡°When Wenxi¡¯s teacher read out his name in today¡¯s lecture, a girl named Shu Xiaoman answered the roll call for him. She probably thought that it would be alright as the teacher probably didn¡¯t know who Lin Wenxi was. However, she didn¡¯t know that the name list the teacher had was actually a name-gender list. When she answered the roll call for Wenxi, the teacher was shocked and asked her to stand up to further ensure that she was a girl and could never be Lin Wenxi.¡±


    Lin Ziwei was angry. He stood in front of Lin Wenxi¡¯s door, gave a choked cry and then kicked the door open. To his surprise, he did not see anyone inside the room.


    He panted heavily and opened the closet. He saw his son hiding inside the closet. The boy was trembling and weeping.


    Two dayster, when Lin Wenxi came back to the university, he looked absent-minded, and his eyes were ssy. He kept lying on his bed and refused to attend any lecture or ss.


    At noon, Zhao Yuan bought Lin Wenxi a box of lunch food and some porridge from the canteen after ss. When he went back to the dorm with the food, he found out that the ginger tea cup was empty. He thought that Lin Wenxi must have drank up the tea and smiled. After putting the lunch box on Lin Wenxi¡¯s desk, he went to the bathroom to wash his hands. To his surprise, he smelt ginger tea in the sink. The smile on his face disappeared.


    ¡°Today¡¯s lecture was about the configuration of aputer system. You know what. The teacher managed to finish the first two chapters during the first ss! The guy who invented the firstputer is named n Turing, and he¡¯s gay. Do you know what that means? He was a guy who liked guys! Well, that¡¯s not important. I should tell you about floating-point arithmetic, binary arithmetic and octal arithmetic...¡±


    Zhao Yuan threw away the cold buns on Lin Wenxi¡¯s desk and then bought him a bowl of warm porridge. Lin Wenxi got up and get dressed. After that, he left with a somber face.


    ¡°He¡¯s a grown-up man. Why do you have to do these things for him?¡± Zheng Kai said disdainfully.


    ¡°He¡¯s not a man,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Haha, even you...¡± Zheng Kaiughed and said.


    ¡°He¡¯s a boy,¡± Zhao Yuan interjected.


    Zheng Kai sighed after a moment of silence. ¡°No matter what, he should take care of his own business. Look at him. He refuses to attend lectures and even refuses to eat. What the fuck does he think now?¡±


    Zhao Yuan said solemnly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. You won¡¯t understand it at all. You¡¯ve gotten used to handling everything in a simple and direct way. You know what. I think you deserve to be alone for your whole life.¡±


    ¡°What? Why do you talk like Wang Xiang now? And what does this have to do with my love life?¡± Zheng Kai asked dejectedly.


    Right at this moment, Lin Wenxi walked into the dorm while bending his head down. He held a cup of juice in his hand. It was orange juice instead of his favorite cherry juice.


    He still refused to attend any lecture in the afternoon.


    When Zhao Yuan came back to the dorm after ss, he sat beside Lin Wenxi¡¯s bed and kept talking about the lecture ¡°Digital Logic¡± for an hour. Suddenly, Lin Wenxi turned around, and his face flushed red.


    ¡°Huh, what does he want to do now? I remember this face. When I pulled him up in the tent that day, he looked just like this,¡± Zhao Yuan thought and felt somewhat excited.


    He continued to talk about ¡°Digital Logic¡±, like a teacher giving a lecture.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan! Don¡¯t call my parents anymore! Just mind your own business!¡± Lin Wenxi suddenly shouted to Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan was stunned and did not how to react for the time being. He continued to talk about ¡°Digital Logic¡±.


    ¡°Piss off!¡± Lin Wenxi shouted again. Zhao Yuan could not believe what he had just heard and stopped talking. He looked at Lin Wenxi in disbelief, feeling sad and helpless. Lin Wenxi looked back at him sneeringly and distainfully. Zhao Yuan did not know what he had done wrong. He moved his lips but failed to utter a word. Zheng Kai abruptly turned up the volume of his music by several times to make noise. Zhao Yuan quietly left the dorm and went to y basketball to vent his emotions.


    ¡°It¡¯s too noisy!¡± Lin Wenxi covered his ears and shouted toward Zheng Kai. He sounded even louder than the music now. Zheng Kai stopped ying the music, jumped off his bed and strutted to Lin Wenxi. When he was about to beat Lin Wenxi, Wang Xiang hurriedly ran over to stop him by holding him tightly.


    ¡°Impulse is the devil. Just make some concessions for the sake of peace and our friendship,¡± Wang Xiang said to Zheng Kai.


    At this moment, Lin Wenxi suddenly sat up on his bed and looked up at Zheng Kai while saying, ¡°You¡¯re too noisy.¡±


    Zheng Kai punched Lin Wenxi twice in his chest. Lin Wenxi could not stand it and fell heavily on his bed. His back happened to hit on the guardrail of his bed. He managed to sit up again and red at Zheng Kai.


    Wang Xiang thought frightenedly, ¡°Does Lin Wenxi really want to die?¡± He could not watch it anymore and covered his eyes with his hands.


    Suddenly, he heard a sweet voice. ¡°You can¡¯t beat him.¡± He opened his eyes again and saw a slender boy throw himself at Lin Wenxi. It was Gu Xi. Gu Xi turned around to face Zheng Kai, who was really angry now, and opened his arms to protect Lin Wenxi.


    Zheng Kai had no choice but to stop. He grumpily picked up his coat and strutted out of the dorm.


    After that, Gu Xi held Lin Wenxi¡¯s hands and whispered to him, ¡°The boys in your dorm, including Zheng Kai, all treat you well and care about you. Zheng Kai is just dumb and simple-minded. Please don¡¯t be mad at him.¡±


    Lin Wenxi silently pulled back his hands and looked coldly at Gu Xi.


    ¡°Why do you have to set yourself against everyone?¡± Gu Xi felt worried and asked with a trembling voice.


    Lin Wenxi frowned and muttered. ¡°Only in this way, they won¡¯t care about me anymore. I should¡¯ve died 6 years ago...¡±

 Chapter 51 (What Can I do for You?) Desperation

    <h4>Chapter 51 (What Can I do for You?) Desperation</h4>


    Gu Xi continued to talk despite being aware of Lin Wenxi¡¯s cold attitude toward him. He told Lin Wenxi that there was a newly-opened piano store nearby. As they shared thismon interest, they went to the piano store together. It was called Ziyun Piano Store.


    When Lin Wenxi saw this name, he found it somewhat familiar.


    The sales girl in the store greeted them cordially and invited Gu Xi to y a tune. Gu Xi shook Lin Wenxi¡¯s arm. To his surprise, Lin Wenxi was intrigued and quicky sat on the bench to y a peice of ssical music. When enjoying the music, the sales girl noticed that Lin Wenxi¡¯s sleeves were too long and it hindered him from ying the piano smoothly. Before the boy realized it, the girl went over to roll the sleeve up for him, revealing some new bruises on his arm. Lin Wenxi was bruised from belt beating. He quickly rolled down his sleeves to cover his bruises and left. Gu Xi grabbed his hand and burst into tears.


    ¡°Why are you crying?¡± Lin Wenxi asked coldly and curiously. He wondered, ¡°Gu Xi met me not long ago. Although we do share somemon interests, we¡¯re not good friends yet. Why does he feel so sad for me now?¡±


    ¡°Did those bruises caused by Zheng Kai? That bastard!¡± Gu Xi said while sobbing.


    ¡°No, it was my father who did this to me. ¡®Spare the rod, spoil the child.¡¯ That¡¯s one of his beliefs,¡± Lin Wenxi said tly.


    Gu Xi slowly grabbed Lin Wenxi¡¯s hand and gently touched it. Somehow, Lin Wenxi felt that the bruises on his arms were not so painful anymore.


    ¡°But you¡¯re not a child anymore. He has to treat you as an adult now. I can go to your home together with you. I¡¯ll have a talk with him and tell him how he should treat you now,¡± Gu Xi said seriously. The next moment, when he noticed the strange and ominous expression on the face of Lin Wenxi, he pped himself across the face and said, ¡°That¡¯s really inappropriate! Why did I say that?¡± Upon seeing that, Lin Wenxi could not help but smile and then he quickly put on a straight face again.


    Back in his home, Lin Ziwei had red up upon knowing that Lin Wenxi had skipped sses and refused to eat breakfast. He scolded Lin Wenxi as if he had done something really outrageous, and Lin Wenxi could not help but talk back. After a messy brawl with his father, he was punished by his father and knelt on the ground. Upon seeing that, his mother Huang Xiya cried and had a fight with his father. It was at this moment that Lin Wenxi took this chance to sneak out of his home.


    When he came back to his university, he found out that he could never peel off his clingy friend Gu Xi. After spending some time together with Gu Xi, he finally came to know why this slender boy could manage to subdue a tough guy like Zheng Kai. In Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes, Gu Xi was more than clingy. He was so close to him and seemed to be always around him.


    When he wanted to take a walk through the campus, Gu Xi reported to him in a low voice, ¡°Shu Xiaoman has juste out of the girls¡¯ dormitory building. If you don¡¯t want to meet her, you can avoid her by taking the Xueyuan road.¡±


    When there was a smelly toilet ahead, Gu Xi warned him in a loud voice. ¡°Oh gee, this university really doesn¡¯t care about the air at all. Stop going ahead. There¡¯s a public toilet ahead of you on the right. Let¡¯s go that way. Let¡¯s go to the library.¡±


    When he drank milky tea together with Gu Xi, Gu Xi never minded drinking up the tea that he left after drinking up his own tea. This reminded Lin Wenxi of someone who never minded eating his leftover food. He felt irritated and asked Gu Xi grumpily, ¡°We¡¯ve been walking around for such a long time. Where indeed do you want to go?¡±


    Gu Xi blinked his eyes and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go wherever you go.¡±


    Lin Wenxi went back to his dorm, and Gu Xi followed him and then sat beside him on his bed. Lin Wenxi went to the bathroom. Gu Xi stood up and followed him again. Lin Wenxi opened the door a crack and said, ¡°Don¡¯t say that you want to follow me into the bathroom.¡± Gu Xi shook his head and then sat on a chair with his face toward the door of the bathroom. When Lin Wenxi went out and sat on his bed again, Gu Xi turned his head 180 degrees to look at Lin Wenxi again.


    Wang Xiang, who had juste back from the basketball court, happened to see that. He took off his sweat-soaked top and eximed, ¡°What ackey you are.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯d rather be ackey than a pushover like you,¡± Gu Xi retorted loudly.


    ¡°What the fuck are you talking about?¡± Zhao Yuan walked into the dorm and asked. The moment he saw Lin Wenxi, who staggered in and out of the dorm without talking to anyone except for Gu Xi, he was rendered speechless and looked sad. He thought that he must have done something wrong and was afraid of offending Lin Wenxi again. As such, he really did not know what to do now.


    At night, when the electricity went out, Zhao Yuan still tossed and turned in his bed restlessly. When he slept on his side, he suddenly saw Lin Wenxi¡¯s shadow through the window of the bathroom. He saw him stand still for a moment and then bend down. The water in the bathroom kept running, but Lin Wenxi never seemed to stand up again.


    Zhao Yuan worriedly jumped off his bed and pounded on the door of the bathroom. To his surprise, he did not see any mist on the window. When he touched the door, he found out that it was cold too.


    Zhao Yuan pretended to be impatient and grumpy and shouted, ¡°Who¡¯s in the bath at midnight? Hurry up. I have to pee now. I can¡¯t hold it any longer.¡±


    The next moment, he heard some noise inside the bathroom. After that, Lin Wenxi walked out of it while trembling. His lips were purple, and his face was covered with water or tears. He seemed to have put on his clothes hastily and forgotten to cover the bruises on his arms. Zhao Yuan grabbed Lin Wenxi¡¯s arm and rolled up the sleeves. To his surprise, he saw that it was covered with bruises. He tore Lin Wenxi¡¯s clothes and saw bruises all over his body. ¡°These wounds look worse than those that he got when climbing the cliff together with Zheng Kai,¡± Zhao Yuan thought in surprise.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to wake up anyone else. Just leave me alone,¡± Lin Wenxi said coldly and pushed Zhao Yuan away. When he was about to put his clothes back on, Zhao Yuan held him tightly, dragged him into the bathroom and locked the door.


    ¡°What¡¯re you doing?¡± Lin Wenxi shouted and pushed Zhao Yuan away again. He felt somewhat irritated and frightened, and his eyes became red. He looked at Zhao Yuan vigntly.


    When Zhao Yuan approached him, he picked up the wire cutter behind himself, which had been left here by Zhao Yuan after repairing the window.


    Zhao Yuan rushed toward him and hugged him tightly. He flogged Zhao Yuan¡¯s back with the wire cutter. Zhao Yuan groaned and let Lin Wenxi flog him again.


    He continued hugging Lin Wenxi tightly while enduring the pain, his face against Lin Wenxi¡¯s forehead. He said, ¡°Wenxi, tell me what happened.¡±


    ¡°Please just tell me, okay?¡± Zhao Yuan began to sob.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t let me go, I¡¯ll kill myself in front of you by mming my head into the wall,¡± Lin Wenxi said coldly.


    Zhao Yuan hurriedly took his hands off Lin Wenxi. He stood in front of the door and asked, ¡°What can I do for you? I¡¯m willing to do anything for you, Wenxi!¡±


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, I beg you to leave me alone and stop treating me so well. Leave me alone. Give me some peace.¡± Lin Wenxi stressed each word with due strength, and tears began to spill out of his eyes.


    ¡°No, I didn¡¯t treat you well enough. Otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t hide this thing from me or torture yourself like that. It¡¯s my bad. I failed to take a good care of you, so you left in anger and refused to let me take care of you when you¡¯re wounded so badly. I¡¯m sorry, Wenxi. I didn¡¯t know what I should do. I could only hug you. I just wanted to keep you warm,¡± Zhao Yuan kept talking. He would rather die than watch Lin Wenxi hurt himself.


    ¡°You really don¡¯t need to do this for me!¡± Lin Wenxi replied coldly, making Zhao Yuan feel desperate.

 Chapter 52 (Just Do What You Want) Zhang Dong Wanted to Pay for His Sin with His Own Life

    <h4>Chapter 52 (Just Do What You Want) Zhang Dong Wanted to Pay for His Sin with His Own Life</h4>


    There was a small bar called Jifu Bar near Jifu University. It preferred to use some old songs from the 1980s as the background music. Sometimes, it would also y some American country music, blues and jazz.


    Zhao Yuan and Zhang Dong kept drinking until Zhang Dong got tipsy and bent over the table. Zhao Yuan asked in a deep voice. ¡°Is there anything between you and Wenxi?¡±


    Zhang Dong was tipsy, but his mind was still clear. He told Zhao Yuan about his past and what he had done to Lin Wenxi.


    About nine years ago, Zhang Dong¡¯s parents had managed to transfer him from a middle school in Inner Mongolia to another one in Central China, since they believed that their son could receive a better education in the new school. Beyond their expectations, Zhang Dong had much difficulty with his lessons in the new school and gradually gave up his studies. He skipped sses, made friends with street hooligans and often got into fights with the bad boys. Later, when he was in grade 9, his parents got a divorce. Repeated frustrations made him feel emotionally and physically exhausted.


    One night, when he was wandering alone on a street after a fight, he saw a lovely boy.


    Under the street light, he saw the boy step into a dark alley while carrying a schoolbag on his back. Shortly after that, the boy quickly ran out of it and found someone to ask directions. He walked ahead, but somehow he returned to this street again after a moment. He walked into the alley again and quickly ran out while angrily mming his own head. He took out some scotch tape and a few paper strips. He stuck the paper strips to leave marks while walking and humming a tune. Zhang thought, ¡°This boy is really adorable.¡± He looked up at the cloudless sky and the bright moon.


    Suddenly, he wanted to y a prank on the boy. Once the boy stuck a strip, he would sneakingly tear it off. Soon enough, the boy got lost and returned to the street again.


    He felt anxious. He gritted his teeth and plucked up his courage to run into the dark alley again. Zhang Dong knew that it was a dead-end alley.


    Under the moonlight, he saw the face of the boy. He looked pure and untroubled like an angel. Suddenly, he had an inexplicable impulse. He followed that boy, and his heart began to throb. He quickly caught up with the boy and forced himself on him. The boy screamed. He grabbed his neck and covered his mouth. The boy kept struggling, which made him feel even more excited. When he raped the boy, he gently pinched his smooth spine with his thumb and forefinger. When the boy was exhausted and when he was soaked with sweat, he left that boy on the spot and fled.


    After that, Zhang Dong ran away from his home and then got transferred to another school. He felt lucky that he had escaped punishment. He joined the army before graduation from his high school. He studied and worked hard in the army. Due to his academic and military achievements, he got recruited by a military university ahead of the time. This year was his junior year of university. He nearly forgot about what he had done 6 years ago.


    Beyond his expectations, he met this boy again. On the first day of the military training, Zhang Dong recognized the boy in the crowd at a nce. He looked at him and smiled bitterly. This boy was much taller than before, and his cheeks were not chubby anymore. Now he had a chiseled jawline, and he wore his hair in a 3-7 pomade style instead of wearing them short.


    He still remembered the adorable smile of the boy, but now he discovered that this boy was exceptionally silent and cold. He seldom smiled or looked happy. Zhang Dong felt regret and wondered, ¡°Why does he be such a person? Is it because of what I did to him years ago?¡± He tried to get close to the boy and make it up to him but seldom got such a chance until the wilderness training began. To his disappointment, he found out that it was probably toote to make up for his crime.


    ¡°I even dared not to give him artificial respiration. I was afraid of tarnishing him. I¡¯m dirty...¡± Zhang Dong muttered.


    After hearing Zhang Dong¡¯s story, Zhao Yuan punched Zhang Dong heavily in the face. Zhang Dong wiped the blood off his nose and said smilingly, ¡°I¡¯ll take care of it. This is none of your business.¡± The two of them left the bar, without noticing that the waiter had ced under their table a little ck box gleaming with a green light when refilling cups for them.


    Zhao Yuan thought of what Lin Wenxi had said during the psychology ss. When the teacher asked them to use a sentence toment himself or herself, Lin Wenxi said, ¡°I have an extremely proud soul and an abject body.¡±


    He thought of how Lin Wenxi kept using the coldest water to wash himself.


    He could not imagine how Lin Wenxi had stepped into the cold fountain and walked back to the dorm in the chilly weather. He could not imagine him have such a hard time at home. He wondered, ¡°They say that a pitiable person certainly has something to be despised, but Wenxi is such a nice person. During the military training, he peeled the wild fruit for everyone and practiced alone in the gym for the team. Sometimes, he was a little naughty. He sneakingly exchanged the beds on the first day we met and yed pranks on me during the military training. But, I still can¡¯t find a reason to despise him. Why does such a nice person have to suffer such misery?


    Zhao Yuan went to find Lin Wenxi and asked him to go out without exining anything. Lin Wenxi immediately came out with him without hesitation. At that moment, Zhao Yuan felt as if he was an aplice with Zhang Dong.


    When they came to a secluded corner of the campus, Lin Wenxi still did not look hesitant. The moment he saw Zhang Dong, his face changed, and tears welled up in his eyes.


    ¡°Wenxi, just give Zhang Dong a chance,¡± Zhao Yuan said tly and left. He had to leave this to Zhang Dong.


    Lin Wenxi turned around and wanted to leave this ce as soon as possible.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi, attention!¡± Zhang Dongmanded solemnly. Upon hearing that voice, Lin Wenxi could not help but think of what had happened between them near the Yinshui River. Back then, Instructor Zhang had forced him to march toward the rushing river until he bravely voiced his thought.


    ¡°Unfortunately, he¡¯s not Instructor Zhang anymore. He¡¯s just Zhang Dong.¡±


    With this in mind, Lin Wenxi stood upright, turned around and slightly bowed to Zhang Dong. He waved his hands and walked away without saying goodbye.


    He heard Zhang Dong chasing after him rapidly. When Zhang Dong caught up with him, he saw a shiny dagger in the soldier¡¯s hand. He remained calm and looked at Zhang Dong quietly.


    ¡°Just do what you want,¡± Zhang Dong said and gave Lin Wenxi the dagger and a signed ¡°life and death contract¡±. Lin Wenxi received the dagger and let the contract fall to the ground.


    When he wielded the dagger, Zhang Dong could not help but tense up. He gritted his teeth and lifted his chest, ready to get wounded or even killed. The next moment, he was stunned, as Lin Wenxi used the dagger to cut his own arm. Blood oozed out and quickly covered the wound.


    He covered the wound with his hand and took a step back. His face became pale because of the pain. He smiled coldly and cruelly at Zhang Dong.


    ¡°You helped me a lot during the military training, Instructor Zhang. Now I repay your kindness with this cut and don¡¯t owe you anything anymore. I¡¯m still Lin Wenxi and you¡¯re just Zhang Dong. I¡¯ll never forgive you in my life!¡± Lin Wenxi said while sobbing. With these words, he dropped the dagger and ran away.


    Zhang Dong kicked the dagger into the garden and asked Zhao Yuan toe out.


    ¡°He¡¯s injured. I¡¯m not worthy of his forgiveness,¡± Zhang Dong patted Zhao Yuan¡¯s shoulder and said. He smiled and got stuck for words. After a while, he strutted away without saying a word.


    Zhao Yuan saw the blood-stained contract on the ground. He picked it up and read it while running away to find Lin Wenxi. He could not help but clench his fists.


    He thought in surprise, ¡°Zhang Dong really meant it when he asked Wenxi to kill him. He really wants to pay for his sin with his own life. With this contract, Wenxi who has not turned 18 yet won¡¯t be charged with wounding with intent or murdering. But why was it Lin Wenxi instead of Zhang Dong who got wounded in the end?¡± Zhao Yuan went to the dorm and then to the university health center. When he arrived at the health center, he saw that Lin Wenxi had finished dressing his wound.


    ¡°Please rest assured. I won¡¯t kill myself before Zhang Dong dies,¡± said Lin Wenxi.


    Upon hearing that, Zhao Yuan just remained silent. He knew that no matter what he say, it would be wrong.


    ¡°Now, Zhao Yuan knows about this thing. He knows about it,¡± Lin Wenxi thought repeatedly.


    He kept crying at night.

 Chapter 53 (They Were Tears Shed by Zhao Yuan) Tears of Sadness

    <h4>Chapter 53 (They Were Tears Shed by Zhao Yuan) Tears of Sadness</h4>


    Lin Wenxi seemed to have returned to normal, but Zhao Yuan could not be sure whether Lin Wenxi was alright.


    Lin Wenxi was willing to talk to his roommates now, but every time he spoke, his sentence would contain only 3 to 8 words. He actively answered questions in the sses and he usually answered them exceptionally well. Everybody thought that Lin Wenxi was alright now.


    He was able to cope with Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman¡¯s teasing naturally. He somehow restored his rtionship with Zheng Kai. They would pat each other¡¯s shoulder to great each other every time they met. He even helped Wang Xiang answering a roll call. All the boys in the dorm, except Zhao Yuan, thought that he was alright now. Lin Wenxi always smiled and treated everyone friendly. He treated Zhao Yuan friendly too, but just as an ordinary friend.


    He did not go to the bathhouse together with Zhao Yuan anymore. Neither did he go to the canteen together with him. Every time he saw Zhao Yuan, he would walk away.


    Zhao Yuan decided to have a serious talk with Lin Wenxi.


    Recently, Lin Wenxi liked to visit piano stores in the city. Every time he went to a piano store, he would y ¡°Colorful Clouds Chasing The Moon¡± on a piano. Gu Xi, who apanied Lin Wenxi on all these trips, gradually remembered the peice of music and hummed it every day. Zhao Yuan decided to follow Lin Wenxi to a piano store.


    To carry out his n, he told Shu Xiaoman, who often broke into their dorm to discuss the rtionship between one¡¯s constetion and his or her personality with Lin Wenxi, that he intended to help Lin Wenxi tackle a psychological problem on Saturday. He asked her not toe on that day.


    Upon hearing his request, Shu Xiaoman replied, ¡°As long as you don¡¯t n to help him solve the physiological problem, I¡¯ll do what you want.¡±


    On Saturday, Zheng Kai invited Zhao Yuan to y basketball together. Zhao Yuan fobbed him off. Wang Xiang invited him to go to the martial arts ss together. He said that he had already asked for a leave. Lin Wenxi quickly realized what Zhao Yuan was up to and sneered coldly.


    When Zhao Yuan followed Lin Wenxi to Gate No.3 of the university, he saw a girl standing under the Chinese parasol trees near the gate. The girl stood with her back toward him. She had long hair, and her yellow coat seemed a little short for her. When he recognized who she was, he was surprised. ¡°Why does Zhang An¡¯an suddenlye to this ce?¡±


    Lin Wenxi got on the bus with a cold expression on his face. When Zhao Yuan was about to catch up with Lin Wenxi, Zhang An¡¯an grabbed him and asked, ¡°Wait, didn¡¯t you say that you want to tell me something about Wang Xiang?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t ask you toe out,¡± Zhao Yuan said assertively.


    Zhang An¡¯an took out her mobile phone and showed him a text message on it. ¡°An¡¯n, meet me at Gate No.3 at 2:00 pm. Wang Xiang did something wrong recently. I think you should know.¡± It clearly showed that its sender was Zhao Yuan.


    Zhao Yuan suddenly realized what Lin Wenxi had actually done when he had been pretending topare the appearances of their Nokia cellphones back in their dorm.


    In fact, Wang Xiang did get too close to his so-called ¡°sister¡± recently. Zhao Yuan knew about it but never nned to interfere. He never knew that Lin Wenxi noticed this too. Neither did he expect Lin Wenxi to use this to set him up. He did not know what to say at this moment. In the end, he just told Zhang An¡¯an that this was a prank that Lin Wenxi yed on him.


    Zhang An¡¯an refused to believe that and said, ¡°Wenxi never made groundless guesses. He must¡¯ve have sent you here for a reason. You must know something!¡±


    ¡°What a clever girl!¡± Zhao Yuan sighed helplessly in his heart. He asked, ¡°You¡¯re good at psychology, aren¡¯t you? Can you help me understand why Lin Wenxi behaves like this recently?¡±


    Several days ago, Lin Wenxi had asked Zhang An¡¯an toe down her dormitory building to meet him. When they met, Lin Wenxi asked, ¡°Is there really a bet between Chen Wanxin and Zhao Yuan?¡±


    Zhang An¡¯an knew that it was meaningless to hide this fact from him anymore, as Shu Xiaoman had already told him about this bet. She nodded to Lin Wenxi, and then the boy left and walked into the darkness.


    Zhang An¡¯an could not help butin, ¡°How can I know the things between you guys? If you think that he¡¯s strange recently and you want to know why, you can ask him or his friend by yourself. Now Wenxi¡¯s best friend is Gu Xi. Why do you ask me about it?¡±


    Zhao Yuan thought that Zhang An¡¯an did have a point and thus told her what he knew about Wang Xiang and his so-called ¡°sister¡±. Upon hearing that, Zhang An¡¯an staggered away while crying and covering her face with her hands.


    After that, Zhao Yuan told Wang Xiang what had happened to avoid being used of interfering in the personal affairs of other. He also used this thing to threaten Wang Xiang into helping himself.


    He chose Wang Xiang for a reason. Lin Wenxi did not have many friends. Zheng Kai was not close to him especially after the incident wherein he had nearly beaten him up. Although they could treat each other as friends now, Zhao Yuan was pretty sure that Lin Wenxi still held a grudge against Zheng Kai.


    As for Gu Xi, he was a very loyal friend to Lin Wenxi. Zhao Yuan worried that if he asked Gu Xi for help, he would sell him out and tell Lin Wenxi his n.


    As such, Zhao Yuan could only choose Wang Xiang, who was sometimes a pushover and a yes-man but had good people skills. Lin Wenxi was seldom on guard against him.


    After repeatedly swearing his loyalty to his girlfriend, Wang Xiang was exhausted. Several dayster, he finally seized an opportunity to help Zhao Yuan.


    At night, he dragged Lin Wenxi down the dormitory building and said, ¡°I lost something in the bathhouse. I need you to help me finding it.¡±


    ¡°Why does it have to be me?¡± asked Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Well, to be frank, I¡¯m afraid of the dark,¡± Wang Xiang said while trembling in the chilly wind. His lips turned purple because of the cold weather. He looked really pitiable.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you ask Zheng Kai to help you?¡± asked Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Zheng Kat? You know what kind of person he is. If he knows that I¡¯m afraid of the dark, he¡¯ll probably lock me in the dark bathroom for a whole night and believe that he can cure my fear of the dark by doing this,¡± Wang Xiang said worriedly.


    Lin Wenxi could not deny that Wang Xiang had a point, but he still felt that there was something wrong about this invitation.


    When they entered the bathhouse, Wang Xiang suddenly pushed Lin Wenxi into a shower room, and the door of the room was quickly locked. Warm water came out of the shower and drenched Lin Wenxi from head to toe. Lin Wenxi saw Zhao Yuan, who only wore shorts, standing in front of himself.


    ¡°What¡¯re you doing?¡± Lin Wenxi shouted, and his face changed.


    ¡°After taking a warm shower, you won¡¯t want to take a cold shower anymore,¡± Zhao Yuan said while soaping himself and singing, ¡°Let us learn how to be cruel...¡±


    Lin Wenxi tried to pull out the bolt to open the door but failed. He saw a lock on the door. Zhao Yuan had locked it the moment Wang Xiang pushed Lin Wenxi into the shower room.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, let me go,¡± Lin Wenxi said coldly. Warm water was flowing down his body, but he still felt cold inside.


    ¡°You sneakingly used my cellphone to send out a text message. Now I get back at you by ying this prank on you. Now we¡¯re even. Just take a warm shower here, cute Wenxi. I¡¯ve found your underwear, sweater and coat in your closet and brought them down here. You won¡¯t feel cold. Come on. I¡¯ll help you undress,¡± Zhao Yuan said smilingly and tore Lin Wenxi¡¯s wet coat off. After a while, Lin Wenxi was stripped to the waist.


    ¡°p.¡± Lin Wenxi pped Zhao Yuan across the face. Zhao Yuan covered his face with a hand and looked at Lin Wenxi in disbelief.


    Zhao Yuan took a deep breath and said, ¡°Wenxi, this is the second time.¡± .


    ¡°Let¡ªme¡ªgo!¡± Lin Wenxi said coldly.


    Zhao Yuan abruptly took Lin Wenxi into his arms and said, ¡°You treat everyone well recently except me. Why do you keep avoiding me? I know it¡¯s cold in the winter, but my heart is warm. Can you feel it?¡±


    He pressed Lin Wenxi¡¯s face against his strong chest. Lin Wenxi felt sofortable and safe and did not want to move.


    Nevertheless, the next moment, he thought, ¡°No, I can¡¯t face him now. I¡¯m dirty and abject.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, this Zhao Yuan...¡± Lin Wenxi thought of Shu Xiaoman¡¯s words and Wang Xiang¡¯s stealth behaviors. He suddenly felt that love and friendship were just ridiculous. He somehow thought of the night again and felt as if he were embraced by Zhang Dong. He felt disgusted and screamed, ¡°I won¡¯t believe no matter what you say!¡±


    ¡°Wenxi...¡± Zhao Yuan said and suddenly felt a sharp pain. He looked down and saw Lin Wenxi biting him on his chest. He bit him ridiculously hard.


    Zhao Yuan felt that Lin Wenxi was about to bite off the flesh on his chest. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists while enduring the pain. He remained still and let Lin Wenxi bite him. He looked at Lin Wenxi with difficulty. After quite a long time, he closed his eyes in pain.


    He thought, ¡°It looks like he¡¯s determined to treat me as an enemy. He doesn¡¯t care about me anymore. Why does he want to get rid of me so much? Why?¡± He felt so frustrated that he did not want to get close to Lin Wenxi again. He twitched his nose, and his heart turned cold.


    Gradually, Lin Wenxi felt exhausted. He stopped biting Zhao Yuan and looked at the deep bite in a daze.


    Zhao Yuan pushed Lin Wenxi away and opened the lock without saying a word. He left Lin Wenxi some clothes wrapped in a waterproof package and walked away.


    Lin Wenxi stood alone in the shower room. He pped himself hard across the face. He had felt some drops of warm water fall on his body a moment ago, and he knew for sure that they were tears shed by Zhao Yuan!

 Chapter 54 (Zhao Yuan Was Not His Usual Self) To Prevail in the Freshmen Contests

    <h4>Chapter 54 (Zhao Yuan Was Not His Usual Self) To Prevail in the Freshmen Contests</h4>


    ¡°Miss Chen, why not upload this photo to the forum of your university? It¡¯ll definitely cause a sensation,¡± Luo Yang said while pointing at a photo. Chen Yuxin had gazed upon this photo for a long time.


    She shook her head and replied, ¡°Compared to that, it¡¯s better to make the rumor about him having AIDS spread faster and wider.¡±


    Luo Yang felt confused and looked at the photo again. ¡°Under the dim light, Zhao Yuan walked out of the bathhouse while only wearing shorts, and behind him stood Lin Wenxi who was topless too. What else could they do? This photo proves everything. We can use it to destroy Lin Wenxi. Why does Miss Chen refuse to use this evidence against him? This girl is so unpredictable.¡±


    Lin Wenxi was content with his life now.


    His life was peaceful. No one woulde to disturb him. Only Gu Xi woulde to talk with him sometimes. Despite that, he still wanted to move out of his dorm. He nned to ask his mother to give him more money and take some part-time jobs. In this way, he could rent an apartment off the campus for himself for the next half year.


    One night, when Lin Wenxi turned on the shower, warm water spewed down. He was stunned.


    Students of Jifu University could take warm showers in their dorms by rotating their shower controllers to the left, but due to the water use restriction, they usually did not have adequate shower water pressure. As such, most of them preferred to go to the bathhouse in the winter. They just needed to pay a little money to enjoy a refreshing shower for an hour.


    Unlike his schoolmates, Lin Wenxi always took showers at his dorm. Every time he took a shower, he would rotate the shower controller to the right and let the cold water drench himself from head to toe. Tonight, however, when he rotated the shower controller to the right as usual, warm water came out of the shower head. He rotated the controller to the left and then left it in the middle, the water was still warm. He thought, ¡°Someone must¡¯ve blocked the cold water pipe.¡±


    Lin Wenxi was rendered speechless. He flushed the toilet and found out that water in the toilet was warm. He turned on the faucet over the basin. Warm water came out of it again. Someone had blocked all the cold water pipes in this dorm.


    He had no choice but to take his first warm shower in this winter.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, what you¡¯ve done seems to be too...¡± Wang Xiang twitched his mouth and said.


    ¡°This may be thest thing that I can do for him,¡± Zhao Yuan interjected while rubbing his chest. He did not feel that painful now, but he understood that he and Lin Wenxi could never go back to their past life.


    Not long after that night, Freshmen Contests began.


    Chen Wanxin was not interested in basketball, despite that she had often been invited to watch basketball matches by her admirers before. She went to watch the basketball match on the campus without high expectations. To her surprise, she was deeply impressed by Zhao Yuan¡¯s skills and enjoyed watching the game very much. As such, she went to watch all the basketball matches until the final.


    Zhao Yuan showed his leadership on the basketball court. He moved nimbly while asionallymunicating with his teammates with hand signals. During half-time, he set the strategy calmly and confidently. When dappled sunlight shone through the leaves of the ne trees, his broad shoulders and handsome face were lit up. Upon seeing that, Chen Wanxin could not help but hold her breath. Her heart was pounding with excitement.


    She watched him with a slight smile. He scored and took off his vest while cheering. He gazed upon the basketball, jumped up and blocked a shot.


    After the match, girls surrounded him and delivered him clothes and water. Some bold girls even threw themselves at him. In the past, Zhao Yuan would have received such favors with a smile, but today, he just remained silent, his face cold.


    Chen Wanxin looked at Zhao Yuan. She found it hard to believe that this outstanding young man was rted to that silent person.


    She thought, ¡°Zhao Yuan doesn¡¯t look happy. Is it because of his family affairs? No, it¡¯s probably not. He has never visited that person and does not seem to be worried about that. Is it because of Lin Wenxi? I haven¡¯t seen them being together for quite a long time. Neither have Luo Yang and his subordinates.¡±


    As for Shu Xiaoman, she finally epted the fact she did not have a chance with Lin Wenxi. As such, she gradually got over her crush on the boy. Much to her disappointment, Lin Wenxi refused to talk to her anymore. She did not know whether it was right for her to tell him about the bet between Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin.


    The basketball final and the dancing contest fell on the same day.


    That day, when Chen Wanxin and her teammates walked out of their dormitory building, they caught the attention of a lot of boys. The girls were dressed in very fit and sexy tank tops, mini skirts with ckce hems and ck pantyhoses with golden shimmer. They looked like those cool and attractive girls depicted inic books. The boys were excited upon seeing them so much so that they probably would not sleep well at night.


    A big crowd of boys escorted them all the way to the stage. The boys huddled together but always managed to keep a polite distance from the girls. All the boys knew Chen Wanxin very well. It would be alright if they just stayed beside her and watched her, but once they offended her, she would definitely beat them up.


    During the final rehearsal of the dance, when Chen Wanxin heard the loudspeaker announce the basketball team of Jifu University as the champion, she smiled. Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman were so excited that they hugged together. Unlike the girls, who did not have time to watch the basketball final, Lin Wenxi had gone to watch the match.


    Gu Xi had dragged Lin Wenxi all the way to the stand. They watched the match with telescopes. During the match, the scores remained quite close, Lin Wenxi felt anxious. Upon seeing that Zhao Yuan who always looked confident seem to be anxious too, he felt worried and even somewhat suffocated. When Zhao Yuan¡¯s team finally won the match, he finally felt relieved and refreshed.


    When the crowd burst into cheers, Lin Wenxi saw Zhao Yuan walk out of the crowd alone with a towel around his shoulders. He quickly left the excited crowd for the dorm.


    ¡°If you really care about him, just go to find him,¡± said Gu Xi. ¡°Look at me and Zheng Kai. He thinks that I¡¯m too clingy. He often scolds me and even yells at me because of that, but I can still do what I want.¡±


    Lin Wenxi shook his head and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. I have to go to the poem writing contest for Wang Xiang. It¡¯s about to begin.¡±


    Gu Xi smiled upon hearing that. In fact, it was he, An¡¯an and Xiaoman who hade up with this idea together. They had asked Wang Xiang to carry out this n, as Wang Xiang was always able to avoid offending Lin Wenxi.


    Wang Xiang was a member of the basketball team, and he also entered his name for the poem writing contest, while pretending to neglect that the contest and the basketball finally fell on the same day. When he had to go to the basketball final, he begged Lin Wenxi, who had not signed up for any contest, to help him out. Gu Xi also persuaded Lin Wenxi by saying, ¡°Wang Xiang is quite a nice guy except for being a little fickle in love. He¡¯s my friend too. Just help him out this time, for me.¡± Wang Xiang repeatedly whined about this thing. If he quit the poem writing contest now, he would lose some credits. In the end, Lin Wenxi agreed to help him.


    ording to the rules, if a student did not have time to go to a contest, he or she could send a substitute for himself or herself. If this student quit without finding a substitute for himself or herself, he or she would lose some credits.


    Lin Wenxi went to the poem writing contest and quickly became a finalist.

 Chapter 55 (To Die a More Glorious Death) Lin Wenxi Made Peace with Zhang Dong

    <h4>Chapter 55 (To Die a More Glorious Death) Lin Wenxi Made Peace with Zhang Dong</h4>


    The poem writing contest was considered to be the most challengingpetition for liberal arts students, as most of them were not as talented as Cao Zhi. (Cao Zhi was an aplished poet who lived in thete Han Dynasty in ancient China and was able to make a verse while taking seven steps.) A contestant had to write a poem in ssical Chinese within 5 minutes on an assigned topic and then gave it to a hostess, who would read it out for the judges.


    The topic for the first round of the contest was the wind.


    Lin Wenxi was thest one to turn in his poem. The hostess read out all the poems one by one.


    Here was Lin Wenxi¡¯s poem:


    Flowers and bamboo trees danced beside the pavilion.


    Clouds and wild geese flew away from thend.


    Full-sail boats embarked on a long voyage.


    I walked away leaving the changing ocean tides behind.


    The judges spent 15 minutes reviewing all the poems. Lin Wenxi got the highest score and entered the next round.


    During the second round, the remaining contests were asked to write about flowers.


    Lin Wenxi was thest one to turn in his writing again. When the hostess read out his poem, she pronounced every word in a sweat, mellow voice.


    Bramble flowers withered away in the wind of thete spring.


    Peach and plum blossom faded in the rain of the early summer.


    I never regret missing the splendid peony blossom.


    Only the red flowers of the winter plum are my true love.


    Lin Wenxi got the highest score again and entered the next round. The audience was surprised, and the campus newspaper journalists all gathered near the stage to take photos of him. Gu Xi stood among the audience alone. He felt amazed as he perfectly understood these two poems written by Lin Wenxi.


    Gu Xi disliked theplicated ssical Chinese very much. Every time he heard Wang Xiang quote some lines of ancient Chinese poems, he would jeer at him. He thought that a real man should look heroic and determined like Zheng Kai.


    This was the first time he had been deeply impressed by the charm of the ssical Chinese. He had a brand new understanding of Lin Wenxi as well.


    He eximed in his heart, ¡°Lin Wenxi always looks so calm andposed whenposing a poem. That¡¯s really charming. I¡¯ve never expected this mncholy young man to be so talented!¡±


    Many people had already guessed the topic for the third round. It was the snow.


    The judges just could not wait to read Lin Wenxi¡¯s poem.


    The moon and the stars were falling dark.


    The north wind was ruthless.


    The wind seemed endless just like my sorrow.


    I drank in the wind until I got drunk.


    The judges thought that this poem was too sad and not so well written as the first two poems, but they still let him enter the fourth round.


    The fourth round was thest round of the contest, and the winner of this round would be the winner of the contest. The topic for this round was the moon.


    The other remaining contestant quickly wrote out a poem, and then the hostess read it out with emotions. It was well written and impressed everyone. Lin Wenxi sat in a daze on the stage. When the countdown was about to be over, he abruptly stood up and surprised all the audience.


    He picked up the microphone beside himself and read his poem out.


    They say that Chang¡¯e should regret stealing the elixir.


    I believe that she just wants to get rid of the earthly world.


    She has endured the loneliness for thousands of years.


    This istion gives her the chance to enjoy the clear and bright moonlight in return.


    Only a few people apuded for him. It was within his expectations. This poem was not inted with finenguage. It was more about his own sorrows and pains. He slowly closed his eyes and thought, ¡°That¡¯s alright. I¡¯ve just spoken my mind. Only someone who is able to endure istion and break all earthly bonds can really enjoy the beauty of the moon.¡±


    When the judges showed the scores, all the audience was surprised. The two remaining contestants got the same score. The organizingmittee had prepared another topic for overtime, but now the staff could not find this topic anywhere. They were at a loss to know what to do.


    Everyone was in a fix.


    Suddenly, some girl among the audience thought of an idea and shouted toward the stage. ¡°We canpare their total scores of the four rounds!¡± Everyone immediately echoed. Lin Wenxi found this female voice somewhat familiar. He turned to look at that girl and found out that she was Shu Xiaoman.


    He wondered in surprise, ¡°Doesn¡¯t she have to go to the dancing contest?¡± Gu Xi was as surprised as Lin Wenxi.


    Upon seeing Shu Xiaoman in the crowd, he thought, ¡°Well, Shu Xiaoman is just fond of excitement. Wait... Oh, no!¡± He grabbed Shu Xiaoman and asked, ¡°Why are you here, Shu Xiaoman? Don¡¯t you have to dance on the stage in your hot outfit now?¡± Shu Xiaoman was stunned and stood in a daze. The next moment, beads of sweat started to form on her forehead. Gu Xi guessed what had happened and hurriedly dragged her to the dancing contest.


    When they arrived, Chen Wanxin¡¯s team had already started their performance. Due to the absence of Shu Xiaoman, the team could not present a perfect 3-4-5 formation. Although their current formation looked quite strange, they danced very well and looked super energetic. As such, the dance did not look bad. In the end of the dance, they could clearly see Chen Wanxin¡¯s smile froze on her face.


    The staff of the poem writing contest quickly calcted the overall scores of the two contestants, and Lin Wenxi turned out to be the winner. He received the trophy and smiled slightly. He looked at the audience and failed to spot any familiar face. When he thought that he could not find anyone to share his happiness now, he noticed a familiar figure. That person wore a hat and stood behind the crowd. He believed that he would be able to recognize this person even when this person was burned down into ashes. That person left, and Lin Wenxi swiftly chased after him without knowing why he was doing this now.


    After running for quite a long time, he heard Zhang Dong speak behind him. ¡°You¡¯ve been chasing after me for such a long time. Why not look back now?¡± Lin Wenxi clenched his fists and turned around, pale with anger.


    Zhang Dong took a step closer to Lin Wenxi. He took off his hat and nodded his head while saying, ¡°I¡¯m really impressed by your performance today. I never know that you¡¯re so talented.¡±


    Lin Wenxi red at him.


    Zhang Dong walked even closer to Lin Wenxi and slowly reached out his hand to brush off some dust in the boy¡¯s hair. He said, ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since that night. You¡¯ve been depressed for all these years. I dare not to ask you to forgive me, but I beg you to treat yourself better. You can take my life whenever you want, and I promise that you¡¯ll never be held ountable for that.¡±


    Lin Wenxi pointed a finger at the busy road and smiled evilly while saying, ¡°Here¡¯s a chance. Just throw yourself under a fast-traveling car.¡± Zhang Dong turned to look at the road. There were many cars, and many of them were traveling at high speed. If he threw himself under a car, others would probably just consider him a careless pedestrian.


    He was slightly stunned and then felt relieved.


    Since joining the army, he had been awarded quite a lot of medals for his military aplishments. He almost died twice before. He used to firmly believe that he would die a glorious death. He had never expected Lin Wenxi to ask him tomit suicide here. He thought, ¡°As a soldier, I¡¯ll definitely regret killing myself here instead of dying for my country, but if my death can make up for my fault and make Lin Wenxin pick himself up again, it¡¯s still worthwhile.¡±


    With this in mind, he chose a fast-traveling BMW and ran toward it.


    The BMW driver reacted quickly and turned the steering wheel in time to drive in the centerne. The driver slowed down and honked the horn to show his dissatisfaction. After that, it sped off.


    Zhang Dong felt somewhat annoyed and tried again. He pretended to be waiting for traffic lights at the roadside. When he saw a fast-traveling Porsche, he ran toward it while biting his lower lip nervously. He closed his eyes as he thought, ¡°I never know that I¡±m so afraid of death.¡±


    ¡°Zhang Dong!¡± Lin Wenxi screamed at him. Upon hearing that, Zhang Dong stopped running and managed to fall on his back.


    The driver mmed the brakes and looked back at Zhang Dong before driving away carefully.


    Zhang Dong fell to the ground, his face pale. If it had not been for his agility, he would have been knocked down by the car and even gotten killed on the spot. He looked back and saw Lin Wenxi. The boy was running toward him, looking even paler than himself.


    ¡°Are you crazy?¡± Lin Wenxi pulled Zhang Dong¡¯s cor and shouted.


    ¡°I meant it when I said that my life is yours,¡± Zhang Dong said tly.


    Lin Wenxi released Zhang Dong¡¯s cor and shook his head while saying, ¡°You should die in the battlefield. That¡¯s more worthwhile. Why do you want to kill yourself for me? It¡¯ll defile your glory!¡± With these words, he turned around and left.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi, I told you before. You¡¯re not dirty. The dirty person is me!¡± Zhang Dong shouted loudly toward Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxi ran into the gate of his university while covering his ears with his hands.


    At this moment, Girls¡¯ Dorm No. 213 was in a state of chaos.

 Chapter 56 (I Don’t Have Any Special Feeling for Zhao Yuan) Wenxi Managed to Appease Wanxin

    <h4>Chapter 56 (I Don¡¯t Have Any Special Feeling for Zhao Yuan) Wenxi Managed to Appease Wanxin</h4>


    The results came out, and Chen Wanxin¡¯s team got only the third prize. Chen Wanxin, who was determined to win the first prize, felt annoyed upon knowing this, as she had worked hard and carefully rehearsed this dance again and again during the past month. She walked down the stage and pped Shu Xiaoman across the face.


    Shu Xiaoman had felt guilty before, but after being pped by Chen Wanxin, she felt irritated. After a moment of thought, she lifted up her hand and pped Chen Wanxin across the face too. Chen Wanxin was stunned and stood in a daze.


    Upon seeing that, Shu Xiaoman pointed a finger at Zhao Yuan and shouted, ¡°You really need to discipline your girl!¡± She stomped her feet and ran back to her dorm.


    Zhao Yuan touched his nose and felt somewhat awkward, as everyone knew that he had broken up with Chen Wanxin. Shu Xiaoman was pretty smart. By mentioning this thing again, she sessfully shifted everyone¡¯s attention to Chen Wanxin and Zhao Yuan. In this way, she quickly got herself out of this awkward situation. Chen Wanxin looked embarrassed, and her pretty face flushed red with anger. Zhao Yuan slowly walked toward her and handed her a facial tissue while saying in a soft voice, ¡°Everything will be alright.¡±


    Upon hearing that, Chen Wanxin fixed her gaze on Zhao Yuan, and tears quickly welled up in her eyes. Zhao Yuan started to take pity on her as he thought, ¡°She has never cried like this. And she has single eyelids too.¡± He could not help but get close to her and wipe tears off her face. He gently patted her head and then turned around, prepared to take his departure.


    Upon seeing that, Zhang An¡¯an kicked Wang Xiang, who still stood aside in a daze, and quickly left the ce. Wang Xiang felt confused and grumbled. ¡°Why is it me every time?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t go,¡± Chen Wanxin said to Zhao Yuan.


    Nevertheless, Zhao Yuan still walked away without any hesitation.


    When Chen Wanxin went back to her dorm, she had a big fight with Shu Xiaoman. During the fight, they threw each other¡¯s basins, buckets and bedding downstairs. When they got mad, they started to throw away the things that belonged to Zhang An¡¯an and Zhou Nannan. As these two girls were busy collecting their belongings all the time, they did not have time to stop Shu Xiaoman and Chen Wanxin. That night, Wang Xiang took Zhang An¡¯an out for a night, and Zhou Nannan went to sleep in Wang Zhengjuan¡¯s dorm.


    Chen Wanxin took a taxi to her home and returned to the dorm on the next evening with a gang of thugs. They forcibly ripped off Shu Xiaoman¡¯s outer clothes and drove her into the cold weather outside the dorm. After that, they smeared all her bedding and clothes with mud. Zhang An¡¯an and Zhou Nannan swiftly grabbed some clothes and rushed out to help Shu Xiaoman.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t want to live in this dorm anymore, just go to help her!¡± Chen Wanxin shouted in a threatening tone.


    Zhang An¡¯an red at her and replied assertively, ¡°Then you¡¯d better live alone! I know that you have a reason to be angry at her, but you¡¯ve really crossed the line!¡±


    Chen Wanxin calmed down a little and said, ¡°So An¡¯an and Nannan, excuse me for being so bold.¡±


    ¡°Who dares to bully Nannan?¡± Wang Zhengjuan suddenly strutted into the dorm and hugged the trembling Zhou Nannan with one arm. After that, she grabbed the right wrist of Chen Wanxin with the other hand and brought it down behind her back in a wristlock. Chen Wanxin gritted her teeth and exchanged a look with the hired thugs. They quickly came over to surround Wang Zhengjuan.


    Wang Zhengjuan sent Zhou Nannan to Zhang An¡¯an and gripped Chen Wanxin¡¯s wrist harder while whispering beside her ear, ¡°Chen Wanxin, you act really wantonly. You must believe that you¡¯ll be alright no matter what you do since your father is a high-ranking official.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯re you talking about?¡± Chen Wanxin was surprised and wondered, ¡°No one in Jifu University knows anything about my family. Why does this Wang Zhengjuan know my father? She¡¯s a rich girl indeed, but...¡±


    Wang Zhengjuan continued to whisper, ¡°Do you want me to post something on the forum to tell everyone what you did? I think your father won¡¯t want to see such a thing. Back in your high school, when you beat someone up, he forced you to write an apology letter to that person. It¡¯s humiliating, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    ¡°You guys¡ªwithdraw!¡± Chen Wanxin said with a somber face.


    ¡°My clothes!¡± Shu Xiaoman shouted while crying.


    ¡°Wang Zhengjuan, I¡¯ve shown you respect today. You¡¯d better not go too far,¡± Chen Wanxin said coldly.


    Wang Zhengjuan smiled slightly at Chen Wanxin and then asked Zhou Nannan to leave with her. Zhou Nannan refused, as she decided to take care of Shu Xiaoman together with Zhang An¡¯an.


    The three girls shuddered with cold outside their dormitory building. They failed to contact their university counselor and did not want to call the police. In the end, they followed Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s advice and went to ask the guys in Dorm No. 216 for help.


    Upon seeing the three pretty girls walking into their dormitory building, the boys were surprised. A momentter, they saw the girls stand at the door of Dorm No.216.


    At that time, Zheng Kai was doing push-ups inside the dorm while wearing only short underpants. As he did push-ups with Gu Xi and Wang Xiang sitting on his back, his face and ears all turned red, and blue veins stood out on his arms. Gu Xi gently pinched Zheng Kai¡¯s muscles while counting, ¡°27, 28...¡± Lin Wenxi was reading a book while lying in his bed, and Zhao Yuan sat with a radio in hand, listening to a news broadcast.


    The moment Zheng Kai saw the girls, he abruptly jumped up while reaching out a hand to hold Gu Xi in case that he lost bnce. After that, Zheng Kai hurriedly rushed into the bathroom, and Gu Xi immediately picked up the clothes ced on the stool and gave them to Zheng Kai.


    Wang Xiang fell on his butts, his face twisted because of the pain. He grumpily shouted toward the bathroom, ¡°Why can¡¯t you do push-ups with your third leg when you see girls?¡±


    ¡°Can you do push-ups with your third leg upon seeing me?¡± Zhang An¡¯an shouted at Wang Xiang. She thought disappointedly, ¡°Why does Wang Xiang always act like this? He¡¯s handsome, with chiselled good looks, but he¡¯s just not masculine enough. It¡¯s easer to find masculinity in Lin Wenxi than in him, not to mention Zhao Yuan and Zheng Kai.¡±


    Upon hearing that, Wang Xiang hurriedly got up. He lifted his chest and tightened his abdomen, looking wonderfully handsome again. He said meaningfully, ¡°I promise that you won¡¯t be able to get out of bed in the morning!¡±


    Shu Xiaoman told Zhao Yuan what had happened while asionally ncing at Lin Wenxi.


    Upon seeing that, Wang Xiang grinned and teased, ¡°Do youe here to find Zhao Yuan or Wenxi?¡± At this moment, Zheng Kai got fully dressed and stepped out of the bathroom. He covered Wang Xiang¡¯s mouth with a hand which was soaked in cold water, while saying, ¡°I¡¯ll feed you some urine if you keep talking like that!¡± Wang Xiang felt nauseous and threatened to get back at Gu Xi. Gu Xi dodged him nimbly and fled.


    Zhao Yuan thought that it was better for the girls to ask the office of safety and security for help, so he said,.¡±I am afraid that I can¡¯t....¡±


    To his surprise, Lin Wenxi interjected, ¡°I will go to help you out.¡±


    Shu Xiaoman was pleased upon hearing that, but she felt somewhat worried at the same time. She asked, ¡°You? Aren¡¯t you worried that you¡¯ll irritate her even more?¡±


    ¡°Just rest assured,¡± Lin Wenxi said while putting on his coat. He went out with the girls.


    After talking with Chen Wanxin for less than one minute, he managed to totally change her attitude toward Shu Xiaoman. Chen Wanxin returned all the things to Shu Xiaoman and then cordially held her hand while saying, ¡°It¡¯s only a misunderstanding. Let¡¯s forget about it, Xiaoman.¡±


    Later, Shu Xiaoman could not help but call Lin Wenxi. She asked him, ¡°What did you say to Chen Wanxin?¡±


    ¡°I said that I really hate it when others make jokes about my rtionship with Zhao Yuan, as I really don¡¯t have any special feeling for him and just treat him as an interesting friend. I told her that on the first day of university, Zhao Yuan told us that she was the most beautiful girl he¡¯d ever seen although she looked somewhat arrogant and refused to give him her number. I also said that it was Zheng Kai who urged Zhao Yuan to bet against him.¡± Lin Wenxi kept rambling as a way of forcing himself to forget about watching Zhao Yuan wipe tears for Chen Wanxin this morning. When he thought he finally erased it from his mind, he stopped talking and hung up on Shu Xiaoman, without giving her anytime to respond.


    Shu Xiaoman thought dejectedly, ¡°Maybe I really know nothing about him.¡±


    ¡°Miss Chen, why do you ask us to stop? The thread has caught quite a lot of attention. It¡¯s going to go viral!¡± asked Luo Yang, confusedly.


    ¡°Well, I just want to avoid trouble whenever possible. That¡¯s it. By the way, investigate the background of Wang Zhengjuan for me!¡± While saying this, Chen Wanxin looked up at the sixth floor of the girls¡¯ dormitory building. Suddenly, she saw someone, who looked simr to Wang Zhengjuan, stick her head out and look down. She hurriedly walked aside to hide herself under the shadow of a tree.


    ¡°What do you want to do with Instructor Zhang?¡± asked Luo Yang.


    ¡°I¡¯m not interested in that thing at all. Boss Mo can do whatever he wants.¡± Chen Wanxin said coldly, while wrapping herself in a mink sweater. ¡°Oh, what about Uncle Zhao¡¯s medicine? Has he received it?¡±


    ¡°Just rest assured, Miss Chen. Boss Mo found a good doctor for him,¡± Luo Yang said in a deep voice.


    ¡°Good job,¡± Chen Wanxin said and then hung up the phone.


    She stood under the tree and looked up at the bright moon while thinking, ¡°It¡¯s windy tonight. It¡¯ll be a nice day tomorrow.¡±

 Chapter 57 (The Three Guys Were from the Same Village!) Fellow-villagers in the Same Class

    <h4>Chapter 57 (The Three Guys Were from the Same Vige!) Fellow-vigers in the Same ss</h4>


    Compared to the other universities, Jifu University was unconventional in many ways, except for exam requirements. ording to its university calendar, its students had to take many exams during the period between the New Year¡¯s Day and thest day of this semester.


    Lecturers at the university never highlighted or underlined any part of the books and never told the students which parts should they review for the exams. They just informed the students of the examination arrangements and then warned them that they often saw students get 59 in the exams. They said, ¡°As students of this university, you should understand the cruelty ofpetition in advance.¡±


    Upon hearing that, Wang Xiang pretended to give dying kicks and said, ¡°My dear lecturer, just show somepassion!¡±


    After the lectures, the guys went back to their dorm. Zhao Yuan scanned the pervious examination papers for some time and then he threw them to the ground grumpily while swearing, ¡°Fuck!¡±


    Zheng Kai picked up an examination paper and held it between the index and middle finger. After scanning the paper, he picked up another one and read it. A momentter, he cursed, ¡°Fuck!¡±


    Wang Xiang was a little surprised and teased. ¡°Although they say that knowledge can bring you everything including a gorgeous woman, you guys really don¡¯t need to act like this when you meet her.¡± With these words, he picked some examination papers and read them. His face gradually turned livid. When he was about to give dying kicks again, Zheng Kai coughed a few times to clear his throat. Wang Xiang was afraid that Zheng Kai would vent his anger on him. He hurriedly put down the papers and dragged Gu Xi, who had sat beside Lin Wenxi all this time, all the way to Zheng Kai. After that, he sat next to Lin Wenxi, who was busy preparing for the exams, and said, ¡°You know what, Wenxi. Questions never repeat themselves in the past exams. ¡±


    Lin Wenxi looked up and said, ¡°I see.¡± After that, he continued to do his exercises.


    In the following days, everyone was busy preparing for the impending exams. They were much busier than students who were preparing for college entrance exams.


    Under the leadership of Zheng Kai, guys who lived in Dorm No. 216 and Gu Xi prepared for the examination of political ideologies together.


    Gu Xi was more than happy to stay here together with Zheng Kai. He began to recite the book loudly.


    ¡°Love, do not harm the mothend. Serve, don¡¯t disserve the people...¡± Gu Xi was unable to call to mind what was next.


    To his surprise, Wang Xiang fluently recited all the ¡°Eight Honors & Eight Disgraces¡±.


    ¡°I seldom saw you reading the book. Don¡¯t tell me that you¡¯re a man of noble mind.¡± Gu Xi felt reluctant to admit defeat.


    ¡°Do you want me to kick your ass?¡± Wang Xiang cracked his knuckles to make some popping sound and said. Suddenly, he remembered that Gu Xi was Zheng Kai¡¯s best friend. He looked at Zheng Kai dejectedly and added, ¡°It¡¯s an honor to serve the people, including Zheng Kai. Go to serve him. Remember to touch only his upper body. If you touch somewhere else, you should pay for that.¡±


    Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan remained silent all the time. They still treated each other like enemies. Wang Xiang could not help but feel curious about what had happened back in the bathhouse that night. When he asked Zhao Yuan about that thing, Zhao Yuan immediately put up his fists. When he asked Wenxi, Wenxi refused to talk to him for three days. When he asked Gu Xi, Gu Xi looked exceptionally worried and remained silent. When they were preparing for the exams together, Wang Xiang could only talk with Gu Xi and teased him sometimes. Gradually, they became good friends.


    After they took all the exams, they started to pack their belongings, prepared to go home for the Chinese New Year.


    Gu Xi gave Zheng Kai a jade goddess of mercy pendant ne when he came to Dorm No. 216 to say goodbye to him. He said that it had been consecrated by a monk. Zheng Kai happily received this gift. When he was about to put it into his drawer, Gu Xi was displeased and insisted on putting the ne around his neck. He enjoyed watching Zheng Kai wear the ne. When he left with satisfaction, Zheng Kai took the ne off and put it in his drawer. Wang Xiang squinted his eyes and said: ¡°This is not a good choice.¡±


    ¡°I did this for a reason. I always lose things. I¡¯m afraid that I¡¯ll lose it after wearing it for a few days,¡± Zheng Kai said without looking up. He was busy packing his things.


    When he was answering a call from his family, who urged him to go home as soon as possible, Zhao Yuan was intrigued by his dialect.


    The guys in the dorm seldom had a chance to have a heart-to-heart talk as they were always busy with all kinds of things, such as the military training, the wilderness training, Freshmen Contests and exams. Now, when they were prepared to go home for the winter vacation, they finally had a chance to get to know more about one another. When they chatted at night, Zhao Yuan and Zheng Kai were surprised to find out that they were probably born into the same vige and went to different countiester when they grew up.


    Zheng Kai asked Zhao Yuan in their local dialect, ¡°Hey, bro. What¡¯s going on between you and Lin Wenxi? Why do you suddenly treat each other like enemies? You guys have to live in the same dorm for at least one and a half years in the future. Do you n to treat each other like this until you graduate?¡± He dared to talk about this in the dorm now, as he was pretty sure that the other boys did not understand this dialect.


    ¡°Nothing. It¡¯s just a personality sh,¡± replied Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Bah, I don¡¯t believe it. You guys used to treat each other like real brothers,¡± Zheng Kai snorted and said.


    ¡°Can you speak Mandarin Chinese?¡± Wang Xiang grumbled. Zheng Kai threw a banana to him. Wang Xiang was pleased and stopped interfering.


    ¡°When did you be such a gossiper like Wang Xiang?¡± Zhao Yuan asked Zheng Kai in their dialect.


    Their dialect was not totally different from the Madarin Chinese, so Wang Xiang quickly realized that they mentioned his name. ¡°Hey, did you talk about me in your dialect? Can you just be frank with me?¡± Zheng Kai threw two bananas to Wang Xiang and said in Madarin, ¡°We said that you¡¯re a great guy. If you interject again, I¡¯ll throw some smelly socks at you.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re so mean and shameless,¡± Wang Xiang grumbled.


    ¡°I¡¯m not trying to pry into your personal affairs, but we¡¯re brothers who live in the same dorm. We¡¯d better treat one another friendly. ¡°Just tell me how you suddenly got a scar on your chest. Wang... That noisy bastard said that you had this scar after taking a shower together with Wenxi. Did you really have that kind of rtionship with him? I have to warn you. That¡¯s not good,¡± Zheng Kai seemed to get a little upset and said in the dialect.


    ¡°That¡¯s nonsense. Don¡¯t believe that little bastard. I got this scar after I hugged a hedgehog tightly. A hedgehog probably never needs a hug.¡± Zhao Yuan sighed.


    ¡°Fuck! It¡¯s you that talk nonsense. What does this have anything to do with some hedgehog? If there¡¯s a hedgehog in our university, I¡¯ll eat it alive. De you believe that?¡± Zheng Kai could not help but feel somewhat irritated.


    Zhao Yuan yawned and stopped talking. Zheng Kai thought, ¡°Zhao Yuan is usually a straightforward guy. As he refused to tell me the truth just now, he must¡¯ve decided to keep this thing to himself.¡± With this in mind, Zheng Kai decided to never ask him about this thing again.


    Lin Wenxi could not help tossing and turning in bed. He could not feel asleep, as he had just discovered that Zhao Yuan and himself were from the same vige:


    He wondered, ¡°How big can a vige be? As we¡¯re in the same ss now, we¡¯re basically the same age. Howe I¡¯ve never met him before? If I had met him earlier, we would¡¯ve be friends a long time ago and I would¡¯vee home together with him. If so, I probably would not meet Zhang Dong that night... I would still be me. And Zhao Yuan, you would still be you.


    ¡°You¡¯d better not hug a hedgehog like me. The more tightly you hold me, the worse you¡¯ll get hurt. Maybe you just consider me a friend, a roommate or a brother, but I¡¯ve already fallen in love with you...


    ¡°The moment I met you, I noticed the scars on your body. I want to know how you got those scars.


    ¡°I want to know everything about you.


    ¡°I want to know why you always look somewhat sad when you smile.¡±

 Chapter 58 (You Are Adorably Stupid) Interlocked Stratagems

    <h4>Chapter 58 (You Are Adorably Stupid) Interlocked Stratagems</h4>


    The next day, Lin Wenxi told his roommates that he was going to visit a rtive in the city and left the dorm. In fact, he did not have any rtive here. Before getting to the long-distance coach station, he deliberately took a wrong bus in the city to take a detour as a way of avoiding his friends.


    When Lin Wenxi was wandering around in the city, his friends set off together from their university.


    Wang Zhengjuan drove a Rolls Royce, carrying Zhou Nannan and Shu Xiaoman. Chen Wanxin¡¯s driver drove a slightly outdated Land Rover, carrying her, Zhang An¡¯an and Wang Xiang. Zheng Kai and Zhao Yuan wore helmets and rode motorcycles that they rented. Now they were roaming beside the two cars like two bodyguards.


    Zhao Yuan was surprised when he found out that Chen Wanxin¡¯s driver looked somewhat familiar. He suddenly remembered that this man had worked as a military instructor during the military training, and his name was Luo Yang.


    Chen Wanxin looked slightly unhappy all along the way. She had asked Luo Yang to drive a limited-edition Lamborghini to fetch her, but Boss Mo stopped her and told her that her father did not allow her to do that.


    There was a Volkswagen in front of them, and its driver seemed to be a novice. It never changed itsne and remained more than 10 meters behind the car in front of itself. As such, it was often overtaken by other cars. Chen Wanxin, who was sitting in the front-passenger seat, could not tolerate following this Volkswagen car anymore. She red at Luo Yang, Luo Yang smiled embarrassedly and said, ¡°Boss Mo told me to drive you home safely and not to stir up any trouble.¡±


    Chen Wanxin shouted grumpily, ¡°How can you tolerate following such a stupid novice? What a good-for-nothing you are!¡± She suddenly lifted up her hand and pushed the steering wheel to the left. Luo Yang grumbled and quickly stepped on the brake. Unfortunately, he still failed to avoid a rear-end collision with the car in the front.


    The group stopped. They moved their cars, took pictures, and called the traffic police. After quite a long time, they set off toward the long-distance coach station again. Fortunately, they arrived there in time.


    After dropping Zhang An¡¯an and Wang Xiang at the station, Chen Wanxin, who lived in the city, casually chatted with Zhao Yuan for a moment and left with Luo Yang. Wang Zhengjuan and Zhou Nannan said that they were going to start a self-driving travel.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you need to go home for the Chinese New Year?¡± asked Shu Xiaoman.


    Wang Zhengjuan shook her head affirmatively, and Zhou Nannan seemed hesitant to speak. Zhang An¡¯an looked at them dubiously. She remembered that Zhou Nannan had once told her that the reason she came to the universityte was that she had to take care of something in her family. She gently pulled Shu Xiaoman¡¯s coat to give her a hint that she should stop talking now.


    Zheng Kai rushed to a coach after casting a quick nce at Chen Wanxin. Zhang An¡¯an, Shu Xiaoman and Gu Xi, who lived in another province, needed to go to the train station next door.


    When Wang Xiang was about to leave for the train station together with Zhang An¡¯an, he spotted Lin Wenxi in the waiting room of the coach station. He immediately ran into the room and asked Lin Wenxi, ¡°Is your rtive a coach driver or the stationmaster here? Where¡¯s your rtive? Ask him or her toe out now.¡±


    In fact, Lin Wenxi was just waiting for his coach here.


    ¡°Oh, he has to deal with something urgent, so I have to go home now.¡± Lin Wenxi said tly.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you have to inform him before visiting him? Howe he suddenly had to deal with something urgent? Even if he did have something urgent, he should¡¯ve called you?¡± Wang Xiang continued to question Lin Wenxi, trying to force him to admit that he was avoiding his friends deliberately.


    ¡°Well, he suddenly died from an acute myocardial infarction.¡± Lin Wenxi said with a nk expression.


    ¡°You¡ª!¡± Wang Xiang was rendered speechless. He suddenly understood why Zhao Yuan had once sighed that it was just meaningless to argue with Wenxi.


    ¡°What a shameless liar you are!¡± He sighed while thumping his chest and stamping his feet.


    Lin Wenxi nced at Zhang An¡¯an and then said slowly, ¡°Stop whining. This is not the worst. You know what. You¡¯re going to get into a serious trouble very soon.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± asked Wang Xiang.


    ¡°It¡¯s a secret.¡±


    ¡°Wenxi, you!!¡± Wang Xiang was fed up with Lin Wenxi¡¯s attitude and really wanted to grab his neck to choke him.


    ¡°Within one minute, we can hear someone shouting hysterically at you,¡± Lin Wenxi smiled and said.


    Wang Xiang felt blood rushing to his head. When he was about to get mad, Lin Wenxi added slowly, ¡°Look, An¡¯an looks¡ªreally¡ªanxious... Is shete for her train?¡± It took him half a minute toplete this sentence. Wang Xiang finally realized what Lin Wenxi was talking about and looked back at Zhang An¡¯an. She kept looking at her watch and looked agitated. Wang Xiang gnashed his teeth and looked at Lin Wenxi maliciously. He gave him a thumb-up. The next moment, he felt that it was not right and gave Lin Wenxi the middle finger.


    When Lin Wenxi was busy teasing Wang Xiang, Zhao Yuan silently picked up the ticket at the foot of Lin Wenxi. His destination was Yangzi County, and his seat was Seat No. 38.


    Upon seeing the ticket, Zhao Yuan could not help but sigh secretly. ¡°Lin Wenxi is also from Yangzi County. That means he understood what Zheng Kai and I saidst night when we were chatting in our dialect. He¡¯s really good at concealing his emotions! He lied to us that he was going to visit some rtive in the city before his departure. He must¡¯ve taken a bus to this station to avoid me, but he probably never expected that he and I were going to take the same coach and even sit next to each other...


    ¡°s, why do you have to act like this, Lin Wenxi?


    ¡°If you don¡¯t act like this and don¡¯t mind going back to our hometown together with me, I¡¯ll be bitterly disappointed and believe that you don¡¯t care for me at all. But now, I have to say that you¡¯re really adorably stupid. The more you try to hide, the more you get yourself exposed.¡±


    Zhao Yuan smiled lightly and put the ticket back on the floor.


    Lin Wenxi picked up the ticket and sat calmly.


    Not long after that, they heard the station announcement. ¡°Dear passengers, the long-distance coach No.XXX heading for Yangzi County is going to leave the station within 15 minutes. Please pack your belongings and get on the coach through the 11th gate.¡±


    Lin Wenxi continued sitting calmly. He was waiting for Zhao Yuan to get on his coach. He nned to change his ticket after Zhao Yuan¡¯s departure. He could¡¯ve gone to change his ticket now, but he just could not do that in front of Zhao Yuan.


    When there were 10 minutes left, Lin Wenxi still managed to remainposed.


    Five minutester, Lin Wenxi felt somewhat anxious and hesitantly asked Zhao Yuan, ¡°Which coach are you going to take?¡±


    ¡°Oh, the next one,¡± Zhao Yuan looked at his watch and said, ¡°It seems that it hasn¡¯t arrived yet.¡±


    Lin Wenxi hurriedly picked up his suitcase and said bluntly, ¡°Excuse me, I have to leave now.¡± He quickly ran away. Zhao Yuan sighed slightly and followed him.


    Shortly after Lin Wenxi took a seat on the coach, Zhao Yuan got on the coach and sat next to him.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say...¡± Lin Wenxi was surprised and stuttered.


    ¡°Oh, I found someone to exchange tickets with me just now,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    Lin Wenxi knew that Zhao Yuan was lying. He thought grumpily, ¡°How can you find someone to exchange tickets with you within such a short period of time?¡± He twitched his mouth and said, ¡°Shameless liar.¡±


    ¡°Oh, am I a shameless liar? ¡°Did you tell the truth when you said that your rtive suddenly died from an acute myocardial infraction?¡± Zhao Yuan retorted smilingly.


    Lin Wenxi was rendered speechless.


    Zhao Yuan kept talking about his school life back in South City High School all along the way. Lin Wenxi kept pretending to be asleep while listening attentively to Zhao Yuan.


    He sighed emotionally in his heart. ¡°I had no friends back in the high school. My parents were overprotective and only allowed me to y together with my father¡¯s driver Hong Xuan. They always sent Hong Xuan or his subordinate to protect me. Back then, I liked to keep everything to myself and never talked much with Hong Xuan. Although he¡¯s younger than my father, he has served in the same troop together with my father before. Hong Xuan is a man of few words. He just took me to do exercises after school.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan¡¯s high school life is so different. He had brothers, girls and wonderful stories.¡± Lin Wenxi enjoyed listening to Zhao Yuan¡¯s stories.


    One hourter, when they reached the West Station of Yangzi County, Zhao Yuan told Lin Wenxi something before his departure. He said, ¡°A hedgehog has protective spines on his body. They¡¯re its armor. The other side of the armor is against its soft body. I¡¯m your armor. I want to protect you and stay close to you all the time.¡±


    Upon hearing that, Lin Wenxi was stunned and stood in a daze. He thought, ¡°Zhao Yuan never talked like this before. He must have a hard time recently.


    ¡°You know what, Zhao Yuan. I really want to be together with you. I even want to leave with you now¡±

 Chapter 59 (His Nose Was Twitching) A Trip to the Southern Party of the City

    <h4>Chapter 59 (His Nose Was Twitching) A Trip to the Southern Party of the City</h4>


    When Lin Wenxi returned home, his father Lin Ziwei did not wee him. Instead, he scolded him for pushing himself forward during the Freshmen Contests.


    ¡°I won the first prize with my own ability! Every parent wants his or her child to excel at something, but why do you always get upset when I win a prize?¡± Lin Wenxi retorted angrily. He went into his room and shut the door.


    Shortly afterwards, his mother Huang Xiya went into his room and grabbed his hand, trying to have a heart-to-heart talk with him. ¡°Most judges of the poem writing contest know your father. He¡¯s worried that they showed partiality to you and deliberately gave you a high score. I¡¯ve read all the poems. I have to say that you deserve your prize. Your father is just worried that you get too proud and...¡±


    ¡°And so-and-so will use him of letting his son enjoy some privileges. Is that what you want to say? Why don¡¯t you just send me to a university in another city, in another province or even abroad. By doing so, you don¡¯t need to worry about these things anymore.¡± Lin Wenxi interjected impatiently.


    ¡°My dear, you¡¯re still a child. You don¡¯t understand,¡± Huang Xiya said sadly.


    ¡°Yes, I don¡¯t understand. I don¡¯t understand anything. If you always treated me as a child, I wouldn¡¯t know anything. But you never treat me as a child. You¡¯ve disciplined me strictly since I went to the elementary school. Am I really your child?¡± Lin Wenxi said bitterly.


    ¡°Wenxi!¡± Huang Xiya anxiously rubbed her forehead. After a moment of silence, two lines of tears rolled down her face.


    Lin Wenxi was well aware that his mother was not a mentally vulnerable person. He really had no idea what made her cry. He thought about it over and over but still failed to think of an exnation. He had no choice but to remain silent. He always felt suffocated at home.


    He did not know when his mother left his room or when he fell asleep. He dreamed about that person. In his dream, that person shouted from a distance, ¡°Attention. At ease.¡± He felt as if he was covered with mud again and carried a backpack.


    A few dayster, Lin Wenxi¡¯s parents discussed returning to their vige for the Chinese New Year.


    As most of his rtives in the vige still remembered Lin Wenxi as a very naughty boy, they did not like him very much. Because of his parents, they would usually pretend to like him, but Lin Wenxi did not like such false disy of affection at all. He had note back to his vige for the festival for six years on the excuse of being busy with his studies. When he stayed in the county alone, his parents would invite Hong Xuan and his family to apany him or to send him to Hong Xuan¡¯s home.


    Upon receiving his transcript from this university, he was dejected since he failed two exams. In the meantime, he felt pleased since now he had a reason to stay in the county during the festival.


    He told his parents, ¡°I failed two exams, so I have to stay at home to study and can¡¯t apany you to the vige during the next week.¡± Lin Ziwei was irritated upon hearing that and wanted to beat his son up. The next moment he remembered that his wife kept crying for no reason at night recently. To avoid upsetting his wife, he just reproached his son and asked Hong Xuan to take care of Lin Wenxi before his departure. Despite that, Lin Ziwei and Huang Xiya still felt worried.


    Lin Wenxi quickly realized how worried his parents were.


    His mother had filled the refrigerator with all kinds of milk, bread and other nutritional supplements. They were all inexpensive high-quality products that she had carefully picked out and bought from the supermarket. His father had put up a poster in his room. There was a slogan on it¡ª ¡°You¡¯ll Be Given an Important Task.¡± Lin Wenxi looked up at the slogan and felt that this was really unnecessary. When he was about to take it off, he somehow thought of what Zhao Yuan had said about himself back in the psychology ss. He smiled and looked at the slogan in a daze.


    Hong Xuan was Lin Ziwei¡¯s bodyguard and driver now. He had once been a subordinate under Lin Ziwei back in the army. He had a wide forehead, thick eyebrows and a big nose. He always looked solemn and authoritive. Unlike Lin Ziwei, who seldom did exercises after leaving the army and looked somewhat fat now, Hong Xuan practiced kung fu every day after work and looked slim and muscr. He was a hard-working man and had managed to suppress many street thugs for Lin Ziwei. When Lin Ziwei and his wife did not have time to take care of their son, they would send Lin Wenxi to Hong Xuan¡¯s home. Over the past decade, Hong Xuan had often taken Lin Wenxi to do exercise, and Lin Wenxi had considered him as a rtive and someone like his father. Lin Wenxi respected and feared Hong Xuan.


    Compared to Lin Ziwei, Hong Xuan did not discipline Lin Wenxi very strictly. As such, when staying together with Hong Xuan, Lin Wenxi dared to do something that he did not dare to do in front of his father. Nevetheless, once he went too far, Hong Xuan would punish him by forcing him to do more exercises. Because of Homg Xuan¡¯s help, Lin Wenxi was basically in good health albeit not exceptionally strong.


    When Hong Xuan came to take care of Lin Wenxi, he just cooked for him and urged him to study. Sometimes he would watch TV, but most of the time, he would practice kung wu in the yard. Hong Xuan was not good at studying at all, and he often asked Lin Wenxi to help his own daughter Hong Yan doing her homework.


    One day, his wife was sick, and her daughter was in grade 12 and busy with her studies. Given this, he asked a leave and told Lin Wenxi to take care of himself for one day.


    After Hong Xuan¡¯s departure, Lin Wenxi excitedly rolled in his bed as he was free now. After a while, he felt a little lost as he did not know what to do. He did not have any friends here except Hong Yan. What he did not know was that his parents liked Hong Yan very much and even nned to ask him to marry this pretty and nice girl when he grew up.


    Lin Wenxi gave Hong Yan a call and then went to her home on the excuse of visiting her sick mother. To his surprise, Hong Yan¡¯s mother, who was sick, managed to prepare an exceedingly good lunch for him and then called Lin Ziwei to express her gratitude. He had never expected that he would bring so much trouble for Hong Yan¡¯s mother. After helping Hong Yan finishing her homework, he went home alone.


    When he reached the door of his home, he searched his whole body but still could not find the keys. He recalled that Hong Xuan did not take the keys away with himself either. He thought that he had probably left the keys at home.


    Lin Wenxi and his family had lived in this old-fashioned courtyard since they had moved into the county 7 years ago. Although it was located in a prosperous area in the eastern part of the county, it was simply decorated and did not look like a living ce of a high-rank official. None of their neighbors knew that this ce was the home of the former director of the education bureau of Yangzi County.


    Now Lin Ziwei was the deputy mayor of the city, but he did not move into the city. He still lived in this courtyard in Yangzi County, as this county was his hometown and located just on the edge of the city. Hong Xuan would drive him to and from work every day, and once he was too busy, he could sleep in his office. He chose to stay in Yangzi County for another reason. This county had many famous schools, such as Zhenbei Middle School and High School, South City Middle School and High School, West City Middle School and High School and East City Middle School and High School.


    As such, Lin Ziwei would rather continue living in Yangzi County than move into the city.


    The facilities in the courtyard looked simple, but in fact, they had been carefully designed and upgraded by relevant departments five years ago when Lin Ziwei had be the deputy mayor of the city. Given this, Lin Wenxi knew that it was impossible for him to break into this courtyard now.


    He walked back toward Hong Xuan¡¯s home, but when he got only half way, he decided to go to Xuezi Bridge. He had to cross this bridge to go to Zhenbei High School and return home each day when he was a high school student. Because of the impending Chinese New Year, most of the vendors had returned to their hometown. This bridge looked empty now. As it had just rained, the bridge was somewhat muddy.


    Lin Wenxi stood on the bridge in the wind and looked down at the quietly flowing Yangzi River. He thought gleefully, ¡°I¡¯m finally free today.¡± He decided to take a walk in the county.


    About one hourter, he reached Zhegui Bridge in the south of the city. If he continued to travel southward, he would see many viges. Many vigers gathered around the bridge and sold local specialities to earn some money for the Chinese New Year.


    Lin Wenxi bought a mountain apple from an old man and gave the man¡¯s grandson two sweets. That little boy smiled cheerfully and gave him an orange-colored crab apple in return. Lin Wenxi took a bite of the crab apple and liked its sweet and sour taste very much.


    Somehow he thought of Zhang Dong again. He clearly remembered how Zhang Dong had trained him and managed to make himugh out loud.


    Zhang Dong¡¯s words still rang in his ears. He touched his neck and thought, ¡°Zhang Dong really meant it when he asked me to kill him. He¡¯s a hard-working soldier. Zhang Dong, why is it you? Why do you suddenlye back into my life after all these years? Why did you do that to me years ago?¡± Lin Wenxi still hated his own body, but he did not hate it so much as before. He remembered Zhang Dong¡¯s words. ¡°You¡¯re not dirty. The dirty person is me.¡±


    For the first time in recent 6 years, Lin Wenxi had walked down thatne again. When he reached Binhe Road and looked at his home from a distance, it began to snow.


    Snowkes began falling down, and this world would soon look pure and white. Upon seeing the snowkes, Lin Wenxi thought of his childhood ymate Fangfang, but he could not remember his face clearly now. He wondered, ¡°Where¡¯s Fangfang? What is he doing now? Does it snow in his hometown? Will he think of me? He¡¯s probably 20 years old now. Does he go a university?¡±


    He walked back to Zhegui Bridge and stood on the bridge alone in the snow.


    Someone pointed at him and teased, ¡°Does that guy want to jump into the river now? Doesn¡¯t he know that he won¡¯t get drowned to death by doing so? He¡¯ll get frozen to death.¡± Lin Wenxi heard it but still remained unmoved.


    ¡°Hey, bro, are you really nning to jump into the river?¡± Someone approached him and asked. Lin Wenxi just wanted to spend some time alone and did not want to be disturbed. He turned around and smiled at the person.


    When he was about to leave, he heard someone in the crowd calling his name. A tipsy guy ran to him and grabbed his hand. He shivered and seemed to sober up upon seeing Lin Wenxi¡¯s face.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan!¡± Lin Wenxi said, and his nose was twitching.

 Chapter 60 (Lin Wenxi Wore Only an Undershirt) Naughty Boys at Night

    <h4>Chapter 60 (Lin Wenxi Wore Only an Undershirt) Naughty Boys at Night</h4>


    ¡°Why do you stand here alone?¡± Zhao Yuan asked Lin Wenxi. He reached out his hand to wipe away the snowkes from Lin Wenxi¡¯s hat. He noticed that there was a thinyer of snow on his hat and knew that Lin Wenxi must have stayed here for quite a long time.


    Zhao Yuan still acted cordially as if nothing had happened between Lin Wenxi and him.


    Lin Wenxi looked at Zhao Yuan and felt deeply touched.


    ¡°You guys leave first. Excuse me for staying here for a while.¡± Zhao Yuan waved to his friends and said. His friends slowly walked away while humming some tune.


    ¡°Do you have some trouble? It¡¯s gettingte. Why don¡¯t you go home?¡± Zhao Yuan asked while putting an arm around Lin Wenxi¡¯s shoulders. They stood on the bridge and looked at the river together.


    Lin Wenxi told him that he had left his keys at home and could not get into his home now. He also told him that his parents had gone to their vige for the Chinese New Year. Upon hearing that, Zhao Yuan grabbed Lin Wenxi and slowly walked forward.


    ¡°Where are you taking me?¡± asked Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take you to my home,¡± Zhao Yuan said smilingly. Lin Wenxi was a little embarrassed but still followed Zhao Yuan quietly.


    When they reached Zhao Yuan¡¯s home, Lin Wenxi saw a redntern illuminating the whole courtyard. He felt warm upon seeing thisntern and said with a smile, ¡°Thisntern is really bright.¡±


    Zhao Yuan smiled thoughtfully without saying a word. He opened the door and invited Lin Wenxi toe into his home.


    The room was dimly illuminated, but Lin Wenxin clearly saw a picture on the wall which faced the door. An old-fashioned square table, which was wiped clean, was ced under the picture, and an incense burner filled with ashes was ced in the center of the table. Apart from the incense burner, there were an abacus and an old book on the table. Lin Wenxi felt curious.


    He went to the table and ttened the ashes in the incense burner. After that, he was intrigued by the shiny ck beads of the abacus and yed the abacus for a while. He pointed at the picture and asked, ¡°Who is this man?¡±


    ¡°Try to guess,¡± Zhao Yuan replied, his chin cupped in his hand.


    ¡°I guess that this is probably a portrait of Fan Li, the founding father of Chinesemercial business,¡± replied Lin Wenxi.


    Zhao Yuan was impressed and threw a tin of beer to Lin Wenxi as a reward.


    Lin Wenxi frowned and said, ¡°I thought that you would at least pour me a ss of water.¡±


    Zhao Yuan opened the tin, quickly gulped down half a tin of beer, and then give it to Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxi could tell that Zhao Yuan was tipsy. He stopped talking about the picture and asked Zhao Yuan about his family. Zhao Yuan grumbled something, and Lin Wenxi sat quietly beside him. After a while, Zhao Yuan seemed to sober up and told Lin Wenxi where the bathroom and the bedroom were. Lin Wenxi went to the bathroom to wash up. When he returned to the living room, he saw Zhao Yuan watching a basketball game on TV. After a while, Zhao Yuan looked up at Lin Wenxi in a daze.


    After quite a long time, they finally went into Zhao Yuan¡¯s bedroom together. Zhao Yuan swiftly took off his clothes and got into his bed. Lin Wenxi felt somewhat awkward. He sat on the edge of the bed, tightly grabbed the quilt cover and looked at it in a daze. It seemed that he did not n to take off his clothes and sleep here.


    ¡°What¡¯s so interesting about the quilt?¡±


    ¡°Nothing. I just want to say that the carp embroidery on your quilt cover looks really nice. Your mother must have clever hands and good taste.¡± Lin Wenxi kept looking at the embroidery and added, ¡°Why don¡¯t you sleep?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re always talkative when you¡¯re nervous,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you turn off the light?¡± Lin Wenxi continued to ask.


    ¡°Can you take off your clothes and put them away if I turn off the light now?¡± Zhao Yuan suddenly pped his hands and asked, ¡°Are you shy?¡± A momentter, when he saw Lin Wenxi¡¯s cheeks flushed red with embarrassment and anger, he felt naughty. He sprang up from his bed, put an arm around Lin Wenxi¡¯s neck to pull him down on the bed and then quickly ripped off Lin Wenxi¡¯s down jacket, Lin Wenxi struggled to sit up, and his chest heaved up and down. Although he wore a thick sweater under his jacket, he still looked slender. Zhao Yuan was excited and came at Lin Wenxi again, trying to rip off his sweater.


    Lin Wenxi red at Zhao Yuan and thought, ¡°Is he so forgetful? I bit him and broke his heart not long ago!¡±


    Zhao Yuan seemed tipsy. He crossed his arms over his chest and squinted at Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi felt somewhat anxious and shouted, ¡°Turn off the light. You should at least respect my habits.¡± Before he finished his sentence, the light was turned off. It was pitch-dark in the room now, since the window was too small to let enough lighte in. Zhao Yuan remained silent, and Lin Wenxi could not feel his existence anymore.


    Lin Wenxi had never experienced such darkness. After a long time, he still failed to see his own fingers clearly.


    ¡°Hey?¡± He said, but Zhao Yuan did not reply. He could only hear his own voice inside the room now.


    His heart began to race, as he crawled to the ce where Zhao Yuan had been. When he touched it, he was surprised to find out that it was empty. He could not help but scream. Suddenly, the door was opened and slowly closed. The next moment, the door was opened again. Lin Wenxi could not help but think of some scenes in horror movies.


    When he fumbled for the light switch on the wall, he touched a cold thing. It seemed to be a cold hand. He shrilled. Suddenly, the light was on, and a weird-looking mask appeared about 30 centimeters in front of his face. He was too frightened to cry out. He hid under the quilt and shivered.


    ¡°Humphy, you coward, do you dare to shout at me gain?¡± Zhao Yuan said and wanted to get under the quilt. To his surprised, he could not uncover the quilt, as Lin Wenxi tightly wrapped it around himself.


    ¡°I¡¯m freezing to death!¡± Zhao Yuan could not help but cry out. He had stayed outside for quite a long time. If it had not been for this good health, he would¡¯ve had a running nose now.


    Lin Wenxi continued to wrap the quilt tightly around himself. He gritted his teeth and remained silent.


    Zhao Yuan grabbed the quilt with both hands and lifted it up. Lin Wenxi was lifted up together with the quilt but he still tried his best to grab the quilt. Suddenly, the quilt cover tore. Zhao Yuan lost bnce and fell beside Lin Wenxi. They looked at each other, their faces less than 10 centimeters apart.


    At the moment, both of them were exhausted and panted heavily. They kept looking at each other for several seconds. Lin Wenxi¡¯s face and ears all turned red.


    Blue vines stood out on Zhao Yuan¡¯s forehead, and his head was soaked with sweats. He looked into Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes, but Lin Wenxi still kept a straight face.


    When their eyes met, Zhao Yuan was deeply impressed by the clear and bright eyes of Lin Wenxi. He found it hard to control himself and reached out a hand to grab Lin Wenxi, as he thought of what Zhang Dong had told him back in the cafe.


    ¡°No,¡± He thought and quickly came back to his senses. He looked at something behind Lin Wenxi and shouted, ¡°Look, what¡¯s that?¡± Lin Wenxi was surprised and looked back. Zhao Yuan took this chance to rip off Lin Wenxi¡¯s sweater.


    ¡°You jerk!¡± Lin Wenxi shouted while wearing an undershirt. Zhao Yuan pointed a finger at him andughed. Lin Wenxi felt that something was wrong, but he stilly prone on the bed without covering himself with a quilt. He felt quite uneasy.


    ¡°What¡¯s the big deal? We slept together during the wilderness training,¡± Zhao Yuan grumbled. Somehow, he thought of Zhang Dong¡¯s words again and really wanted to do something to Lin Wenxi. Suddenly, he felt sad. He felt as if his Lin Wenxi had been taken away by someone else.


    He looked at Lin Wenxi¡¯s slender neck, clearly visible shoulder des, white skin and red lips. He felt increasingly excited. After a while, he sighed heavily and said, ¡°Let¡¯s sleep. It¡¯s almost 1 o¡¯clock.¡± He gradually calmed down and felt tired. He picked up the broken quilt cover and said, ¡°It¡¯s alright if you want to sleep with your pants on. But you have to mend my quilt cover tomorrow. Otherwise, I won¡¯t let you leave this ce.¡±


    As Lin Wenxi remained silent, he continued, ¡°This is my only quilt cover. If you don¡¯t mend it, we can only sleep without a quilt!¡±


    Lin Wenxi swiftly took off his outer trousers and woollen trousers under the quilt, folded them and ced them beside himself. He said, ¡°I¡¯ll try my best to mend it, but I can¡¯t promise you that I¡¯ll mend it well. If your mother scolds you for ruining the quilt cover, you can¡¯t put the me on me.¡±


    Zhao Yuan did not reply. He had fallen asleep with his head resting on his hands.


    Upon seeing that, Lin Wenxi slept as well. Shortly afterwards, he felt that Zhao Yuan put an arm around his waist. He remained silent.


    He struggled a little and then calmed down. He looked at the ck sky and the falling snowkes through the window and thought, ¡°It still snows. Tomorrow, everything will be covered with snow. Will such a scene make me forget about everything?¡± Gradually, he fell asleep.


    It was a cold and windy night, but he felt warm.

 Chapter 61 (Can You Lead the Way for Me?) Two Snowmen under the Moonlight

    <h4>Chapter 61 (Can You Lead the Way for Me?) Two Snowmen under the Moonlight</h4>


    Lin Wenxi yawned and kicked his feet. Suddenly, he felt some cold wind blowing toward his neck and quickly shrank under his quilt. He touched the ce beside him and found out that Zhao Yuan was not there.


    He felt that his neck was somewhat itchy and looked down. He saw scarves, sweaters and nkets around his neck and shoulder. With these things being around, no matter how he moved around in his bed, his shoulders would still be kept warm. He smiled sweetly and rolled on the bed gleefully. He felt that there was something heavy above his feet. He sat up and saw many nkets and coats ced above his feet. Some of them had fallen to the ground just now.


    Lin Wenxi was too embarrassed to sleep again. He quickly got dressed under the quilt. Hey on the bed for a while with his eyes closed and then finally made up his mind to get up. He made the bed and folded everything nicely.


    He had a good sleepst night and looked energetic today. When he walked into the living room, he saw a rice cooker on the table but did not see Zhao Yuan. He looked around and finally found Zhao Yuan in the shop at the back door of the courtyard. There were a lot of guests, and Zhao Yuan was very busy.


    While attending to the guests, Zhao Yuan looked back at Lin Wenxi and teased, ¡°It looks like you¡¯ve never slept well in recent years except forst night. I could not help but check whether you were still breathing this morning.¡±


    ¡°I hope that you didn¡¯t check it with your mouth!¡± Lin Wenxi pretended to be upset. Zhao Yuan thought of how Lin Wenxi had pped him during the wilderness training and snorted.


    Zhao Yuan nimbly took out a bag, blew it up and put some firecrackers in it. He asked the customer why he bought these firecrackers and then stuck a pair of red double happiness characters on the front and back of the bag. He said, ¡°There are four happy things for you¡ªthe new year, the marriage, a good harvest and a new-born child. Congrattions!¡±


    The customer grinned from ear to ear and happily gave his money to Zhao Yuan before leaving with the firecrackers.


    Lin Wenxi was so impressed that he could not help but stare at Zhao Yuan.


    When the customers left, Zhao Yuan dragged Lin Wenxi all the way back into the living room and made him sit at the table. He opened the rice cooker. There was some sweet potato porridge inside. Upon seeing the orange-yellow sweet potatos, Lin Wenxi felt that his mouth was watering. When he received a bowl of porridge from Zhao Yuan, he quickly spooned some porridge into his mouth. Zhao Yuan stopped him by patting his head.


    He said grumpily, ¡°Slow down. It¡¯s hot.¡±


    Lin Wenxi looked up at Zhao Yuan with dissatisfaction andined with his mouth full. ¡°You¡¯ve started bullying me since I came to your home.¡±


    Zhao Yuan had never seen Lin Wenxi acting like this before. He felt naughty and squeezed Lin Wenxi¡¯s cheeks with a hand. ¡°Biu.¡± The porriage spouted from Lin Wenxi¡¯s mouth and smeared the table.


    Lin Wenxi was upset and abruptly stood up, nning to get back at Zhao Yuan. ¡°Crash.¡± His bowl fell to the floor and broke with a crash. The floor was smeared with porridge too. Lin Wenxi felt awkward and somewhat annoyed. Zhao Yuan quickly found a broom and swept up the broken pieces.


    When he was about to dump them into a garbage bag in a corner of the room, Lin Wenxi shouted, ¡°Wait a minute.¡± He found an old newspaper and used it to wrap all the broken piece of the bowl. After that, he asked Zhao Yuan to give him some scotch tape and carefully sealed the package. After a moment of thought, he sellotaped a note to the package, which read, ¡°Broken Ceramic Chips¡±, and put the package into the garbage bag.


    Zhao Yuan felt confused.


    ¡°I just don¡¯t want some scavengers to cut their hands identally.¡± Lin Wenxi exined.


    Zhao Yuan felt touched and nodded his head while saying, ¡°Your mother is really kind.¡±


    Lin Wenxi said with his hands on his hips, ¡°I admit that what you said just now is correct. But shouldn¡¯t you say, ¡®You¡¯re really kind¡¯?¡±


    Zhao Yuan smiled and said, ¡°Like mother, like son.¡±


    Lin Wenxi snorted and found another bowl. He filled a bowl of porridge for himself, sat far away from Zhao Yuan and began to eat.


    Zhao Yuan looked at Lin Wenxi and thought, ¡°He acts differently now and doesn¡¯t look like the Lin Wenxi that I know in the university.¡± After that, he went to take care of his business. After a while, he came back again to clean up the bowls and chopsticks.


    Zhao Yuan had a busy day. At about 8:00 pm, when Lin Wenxi helped him putting all the firecrakers away, he asked, ¡°Why are you alone at home? Where¡¯s your family?¡±


    ¡°The man is busy doing business outside, and the woman is missing,¡± Zhao Yuan said casually.


    ¡°So you stocked these firecrackers for your shop by yourself in recent days?¡± Lin Wenxi was surprised and asked.


    ¡°Yes, at the beginning of each year, I¡¯ll buy some firecrackers from a familiar wholesaler. He¡¯ll deliver these firecrackers here, and if I can¡¯t sell them out, he¡¯ll take them back. He¡¯s just an old friend of mine. We help each other in business,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    Lin Wenxi looked at Zhao Yuan¡¯s shoulders and sighed secretly, ¡°It¡¯s not easy to do this business. He has to manage the money, ensure the safety and sell the products all by himself. But he said as if it was just a simple thing. His life is not easy.¡±


    ¡°You feel sad for me, don¡¯t you?¡± Zhao Yuan asked with a smile.


    ¡°No. I¡¯m feeling sad for these firecrackers in stock!¡± Lin Wenxi said and opened the door, letting cold air blowing into the room. The world outside was covered with snow now.


    Lin Wenxi breathed on his hands to warm them and then rubbed them against each other. He saw a groove left by a bicycle stretch into the alley. Several children were building snowmen over there. They had made several snowmen, but none of them had eyes. They had just dug two holes on the face of each snowman.


    Lin Wenxi suddenly muttered, ¡°It¡¯ll be great if I have some marbles now.¡±


    Zhao Yuan had never expected Lin Wenxi, who was about to turn 18, to be interested in ying such a childish game. Despite that, he still went to look for his marbles. Every boy who grew up in a vige yed marbles. So did Zhao Yuan. Nevertheless, when he grew up, he put his marbles away. When Zhao Yuan went into his bedroom and saw the nicely folded quilt, he nodded with satisfaction and said, ¡°Tut-tut, you¡¯ll make a good wife.¡± Upon hearing that, Lin Wenxi pinched his arm hardly. Zhao Yuan squatted down and took out a rusty iron box from under his desk. When he opened it, Lin Wenxi was excited. He looked at the colorful marbles in a daze, as he somehow felt that he had seen these marbles before.


    Nevertheless, he could not remember where he had seen these marble in the past. He guessed that he had probably seen them in a dream.


    ¡°Hey, is there anything wrong with you?¡± Zhao Yuan pushed Lin Wenxi and asked. He grabbed a handful of marbles and gave them to Lin Wenxi while saying, ¡°Is that enough? Don¡¯t lose all of them to the children outside.¡±


    ¡¢


    ¡°Do you have ck ones?¡± asked Lin Wenxi.


    Zhao Yuan opened the quilt and poured the marbles onto it. Lin Wenxi was displeased upon seeing Zhao Yuan ruin his nicely-fold quilt like that.


    There were about a hundred colorful marbles, but none of them were ck. Lin Wenxi was slightly disappointed and sighed. Upon seeing that, Zhao Yuan immediately ran out.


    Lin Wenxi even did not have enough time to stop him. When he came to the door, he could only see a line of footprints stretch into the alley. There was a street on the other end of the alley.


    After quite a long time, Zhao Yuan still did note back. Lin Wenxi could not help bute out with the door left unlocked.


    He received a call from Hong Xuan and then another call from his mother. After talking with them on the phone, he suddenly found out that he was lost. He dialed Zhao Yuan¡¯s number, but the next moment, he thought, ¡°No, I can¡¯t call him. He¡¯ll definitelyugh at me for getting lost at my hometown.¡± He put his cellphone away and nned to find the right way by himself. Suddenly, he bumped into another person. He looked up and saw Zhao Yuan¡¯s confused face.


    He shrugged his shoulders and pretended to take it easy. Zhao Yuan grinned and asked, ¡°Are you lost?¡±


    ¡°Who¡¯s lost? Did you get lost?¡± Lin Wenxi retorted.


    ¡°Oh, yeah, I¡¯m lost. Can you lead the way for me?¡± Zhao Yuan could not hide the smile on his face.


    ¡°You!¡± Lin Wenxi was upset. He stamped his feet and lowered his head to look down at Zhao Yuan feet. He silently followed Zhao Yuan. Soon enough, they went back to Zhao Yuan¡¯s home.


    ¡°Why does a person clever as you will do stupid things sometimes?¡± Zhao Yuan could not help but sigh. He squatted down beside the children who were busy building snowmen and put two ck marbles into the two holes in the face of a snowman. With these two marbles, the snowman looked lifelike.


    The children were excited upon seeing that and begged Zhao Yuan to give ¡°eyes¡± to the other snowmen. When Zhao Yuan finished giving eyes to all the snowmen, he gave the remaining marbles to the children.


    Lin Wenxi looked at the happy children and then he noticed the beads of sweat on Zhao Yuan¡¯s neck. He twitched his nose and thought, ¡°He must¡¯ve been running all the way to buy these ck marbles. He disappeared for more than half an hour. He must¡¯ve run down several streets.¡±


    They made a few more snowmen together with the children. Lin Wenxi wrote a character ¡°Xi¡± with his finger on the back of a snowman, and a character ¡°Yuan¡± on the back of another snowman standing nearby. The two snowmen stood side by side under the moonlight. Lin Wenxi looked at them in a daze.


    ¡°Why do I feel that the one on the left looks much more handsome than the one on the right?¡± Zhao Yuan put an arm around Lin Wenxi¡¯s shoulders and asked.


    ¡°I think so, too.¡± Lin Wenxi felt rxed with his neck leaning against Zhao Yuan¡¯s arm. This feeling somehow reminded him of his happy time back in the courtyard where he had lived during his childhood.


    After a while, a little girl put a red paper bag on the lower part of the snowman with a ¡°Xi¡± character on its back to make a skirt for it, while saying, ¡°She¡¯s the wife.¡± Lin Wenxi¡¯s cheeks flushed red with embarrassment. He beat Zhao Yuan hardly and ran toward the house.


    ¡°Do you me me for that? You made this snowman by yourself. You built it in your image. It looks slender...¡± Zhao Yuan shouted and chased after Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxi stopped at the door and looked at thentern thoughtfully.


    He wondered, ¡°Why does Zhao Yuan make thisntern glow all the time? It¡¯s alright to turn it on at night. But why didn¡¯t he turn it off during the day? It has been on for about twenty hours by now.¡±


    ¡°Why do you waste electricity like that? Why didn¡¯t you turn it off?¡± Lin Wenxi said while looking for the switch.


    ¡°Thisntern has no switch,¡± Zhao Yuan said slowly.


    ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡°Uhm... we just want to make it glow all the time.¡±


    ¡°Oh...¡± Lin Wenxi seemed to believe Zhao Yuan¡¯s words without doubt. After a moment, he asked, ¡°Where¡¯s your mother? Why didn¡¯t I see her?¡±


    Zhao Yuan felt a sharp pain in his chest upon hearing that.

 Chapter 62 (His Mother Went Crazy) Zhao Yuan’s Bitter Memories

    <h4>Chapter 62 (His Mother Went Crazy) Zhao Yuan¡¯s Bitter Memories</h4>


    Years ago, Zhao Yuan¡¯s father Zhao Ming had achieved great sess in his business and moved into Yangzi County from the countryside. At that time, Yangzi County had ns to build new districts. He grabbed the chance and became a real estate developer. Not long after that, he became the richest man in the county.


    As his business grew, he became increasingly aggressive and bold. He signed a contract to build the first 30-storey building of Yangzi County, which was going to be the highest building in the county. As at that time, most high buildings in the county had only a dozen floors, this project was considered to be unimaginable. At the age of 12, Zhao Yuan often went to the construction site together with his mother to listen to his father¡¯s ns. At that time, Zhao Yuan still had a mother.


    Unfortunately, due to some unexpected factors, the construction of the building was suspended. Zhao Ming¡¯s face became increasingly somber, and Zhao Yuan and his mother gradually became short of money. One day, some creditors broke into their house and dragged his mother into a room. After that, Zhao Yuan could only hear his mother screaming and his father roaring and exchanging blows with the creditors. That day cast a shadow over him forever.


    Zhao Yuan¡¯s mother went crazy. About two yearster, she ran out of the house on a snowy night and never came back. Zhao Ming followed her footprints and ran out of the house too. He kept looking for her for days but still failed to find her. He called the police and put up a notice. Much to his disappointment, he still failed to get any information about her. One day, someone told him that a crazy woman fell into a well. He managed to pump the well dry but still did not find her. Someone told him another day that a crazy woman fell into the Yangzi River recently. He hired many people to drag the river for her body for days but failed to find her again. He stayed beside the river until being battered unconscious and sent back home by some of his creditors.


    At the age of 13, Zhao Yuan experienced great changes in his life.


    He saw his home being evacuated and sealed and his father being taken away by the police. After that, he went to the countryside to live with his uncle for a year. When he reunited with his father, his father¡¯s suspended project began construction again, but it did not belong to his father anymore.


    He and his father had to move around to avoid the creditors and work hard to pay the debts. Zhao Yuan learned martial arts out of need instead of interest, as he had to protect himself against the creditors¡¯ thugs. Before he graduated from the South City Middle School, he became an apprentice of a kung fu master. In the following five years, he kept practicing martial arts every day. As his master lived next door to him and his father, his father often went hunting in the mountains together with his master. asionally, his father woulde back to the county to take care of the debts.


    As Zhao Yuan often hung out with his martial brothers, he gradually cultivated an unrestrained personality. He often traveled around to make friends through the practice of martial arts. He also had good people skills and never offended anyone. Despite that, in other people¡¯s eyes, he was nothing but a hooligan.


    Sometimes, he would mock himself andpare himself to a swordsman who was forced to enter jianghu.


    Fortunately, there were quite a lot of rtives and friends offering help to him and his father. Gradually, he grew up, and his father paid off the debts. Zhao Yuan felt lucky to survive these years. Two years ago, his father had bought a house here and opened this small shop.


    When he hung thentern up at the gate of the new house, he said, ¡°We have to keep it glow for 24 hours every day until we die. Upon seeing thisntern, your mother will find the way home.¡± Zhao Yuan had never expected his father, who was a man of few words, to say something so romantic.


    Upon hearing Lin Wenxi ask him about his mother, Zhao Yuan was lost in thought for a moment and then replied with a smile, ¡°She divorced my father and lives in another city now.¡± While saying this, he prayed in his heart that his mother did live in another city now and live well.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± Lin Wenxi said and looked somewhat sad.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯m alright now.¡± Zhao Yuan smiled and picked up a reed broom nearby to clean the surface of thentern. He thought in surprise, ¡°It¡¯s really dusty. It looks like that my father has been away for quite a long time.¡±


    His father Zhao Ming had told him that he would not go home for the spring festival this year because of some business. Zhao Yuan had been surprised upon hearing that his father had left home to do business again, as in recent two years, his father just sold some firecrackers during the spring festival and some mountain delicacies during the other months in his own shop.


    Lin Wenxi smiled embarrassedly at Zhao Yuan, and Zhao Yuan pinched his face. Lin Wenxi felt annoyed and turned his face away.


    Zhao Yuan could not help butugh out. ¡°I just think that you look pretty when you smile. Pretty things are rare. Is it why you seldom smile?¡±


    Lin Wenxi blinked his eyes and smiled sweetly. Upon seeing that, Zhao Yuan felt contented. He went to the house to take firecrackers to the shelves while thinking, ¡°There were lots of customers today. I have to keep the shelves stocked with firecrackers for tomorrow.¡± Lin Wenxi wanted to help him but had no idea what he should do. Upon seeing that, Zhao Yuan asked him to go to the bedroom to have a rest.


    This was the first time Lin Wenxi had carefully observed Zhao Yuan¡¯s bedroom. Everything was simple in this room. There was no mattress on his bed. Beside the bed, stood a case which served as the night stand. There were only amp and an rm clock on the case. His curtain was a piece of ck cloth with a few orange firework patterns on it. His windowsill was randomlyid with straw. His wardrobe was ck and red, and there were only several items of clothing inside the wardrobe. Most of them were ck or red. All the clothes he had for the winter were a red cloak, a ck wool coat and a pair of dark gray jeans. Under the orange light of the desk, Lin Wenxi could not see the color of the desk clearly. He could only see several old books on the desk, such as Thick ck Theory, Principles of Economics and other economics books. It was hard to believe that a hooligan like Zhao Yuan would be interested in such books. Beside the desk, stood an iron frame with a punching sandbag. Apart from the sandbag, there were two dumbbells and a gripper. Hong Xuan had taught Lin Wenxi how to use them before.


    ¡°Have you finished checking my room?¡± Zhao Yuan said smilingly and walked in with a dish in hand. There were two sizzling fried fish on the dish. Lin Wenxi was excited upon seeing the fish and immediately began to eat. To his surprise, he found out that this fish did not have many bones and all its bones were soft.


    He quickly devoured his fish and looked at the other fish with a smile.


    ¡°It¡¯s all yours,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°No. I¡¯m almost full. I want only the head and the tail,¡± Lin Wenxi smacked his lips and said. Zhao Yuan immediately gave him the head and the tail and then quickly gulped down the remaining part of the fish.


    After the meal, Zhao Yuan went to the kitchen to wash the dish. After quite a long time, he still did note back. As such, Lin Wenxi went to the kitchen to see what was going on. To his surprise, he found out that Zhao Yuan was not good at cleaning up at all although he was well-versed in cooking. Lin Wenxi cleaned the kitchen for Zhao Yuan and then went to wash his hands in the sink.


    Zhao Yuan grabbed his hands and looked at them. Lin Wenxi¡¯s hands were slender and white. Zhao Yuan liked them very much.


    When Lin Wenxi waited for hispliment, he grinned and said, ¡°I hope that you can clean the whole house for me, including the front yard, the back yard, the living room and the bedroom!¡±


    Lin Wenxi red at him. Suddenly, he took Lin Wenxi into his arms.

 Chapter 63 (What Do You Want To Do With Me) Forget to Say the Words about Its True Meaning.

    <h4>Chapter 63 (What Do You Want To Do With Me) Forget to Say the Words about Its True Meaning.</h4>


    Zhao Yuan dragged Lin Wenxi all the way into the bedroom and pushed him to the bed.


    ¡°What do you want to do?¡± asked Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°I want to fuck you.¡± Zhao Yuan answered.


    ¡°It is ¡®what do you want to do?¡¯, not ¡®what do you want to do with me?''¡± Lin Wenxi corrected.


    ¡°You say you want to do, then let¡¯s just do it.¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°Hum!¡± Lin Wenxi did not want to entangle himself in this topic. He matched some clothes and forced Zhao Yuan to try them right away.


    ¡°If I am going to try on these clothes, I should take off mine first. Don¡¯t you know that?¡± Zhao Yuan¡¯s smiling face nearly pressed into Lin Wenxi¡¯s nose and Lin Wenxi fell back on the bed.


    ¡°Your posture is wrong. You shouldy on all fours.¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°Why you be such an extremely slick person every time when you are in the room?¡± Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t think of anything at the moment to contradict Zhao Yuan. He couldn¡¯t help but feel ashamed and angry.


    ¡°Why your whole person bes totally stupid when you are in the room? It is said that when a man is in love, his IQ will be zero.¡± Zhao Yuan said leisurely and began to untie his buttons.


    Before he took off hisst cloth, Lin Wenxi suddenly stepped forward and stopped him, ¡°No...¡±


    Zhao Yuan hesitated a little and said, ¡°My father said that I should always carve the wound in the stone and engrave the hatred on the beach. From the time I picked up your ticket, I only have a beach left.¡± Then he quickly removed hisst cloth and his well-built body with good muscles all exposed in front of Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes stared firmly at the two scars on Zhao Yuan¡¯s right chest, which had been shallowly concaved in his chest. ¡°Why was I so cruel and ruthless at that time?¡±


    Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t help but gently touch these wounds. He wished he could have magic right now, so he could soothe them one by one.


    ¡°Oh, Lin Wenxi. When you hurt others, you hurt yourself as well.¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°You are wrong. I hurt myself even much more...¡± Lin Wenxi said, suddenly his whole person shocked. Then he shook his head sharply, ¡°I just feel that I don¡¯t deserve you anymore.¡±


    ¡°You want to deserve me for what...¡± Zhao Yuan said casually, and he smiled. He was to think of something, but he suddenly stopped. Looking at Lin Wenxi in puzzlement, he only felt that his warm blood was surging and the intense feeling rushed through his whole body. There seemed to have a sea of fire burning in his heart, which made him unable to think or say anything else. However, his mind suddenly enlightened. All of a sudden, he seemed to see a bright moon and pieces of colorful clouds. He just whispered, ¡°Wenxi...¡±


    Lin Wenxi loosely covered his mouth. His face flushed red, his eyebrows raised and his eyes blinked. His expression changed rapidly, like the shadows left on the opennd by the clouds flying across the sun, also like the flowing water beneath a little bridge in the vige with dense willow trees and bright flowers. Zhao Yuan could not help but stretch out his arms. Lin Wenxi felt like he was sucked toward him and then he fell deeper into his arms.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Zhao Yuan, I am sorry.¡± Lin Wenxi kept whispering.


    ¡°How can I understand your humiliation and loneliness in the ten more years? In those years, I lived in South City, while you lived in Zhenbei. In such a small city, we actually had never met each other. What a pity.¡± Zhao Yuan could not help feeling emotional.


    ¡°In the end, as the northern goose flies south, you finallye to me...¡± Lin Wenxi whimpered. But suddenly, he felt wrong. Probing down, he pinched a thing like a stick and he immediately looked down. He was greatly frightened that he retreated a few steps. It was also such a thing that had humiliated him once in a frosty night, but he didn¡¯t think that Zhao Yuan would...


    ¡°I don¡¯t mean to... But it is not obedient. I suppose that it wants to see what you look like...¡± Zhao Yuan suddenly felt helpless. He deeply understood Lin Wenxi¡¯s forbidden area in his past. Hence, just now once he felt something wrong, he stretched out his arms and wanted to take it back. But to his surprise, Lin Wenxi threw himself into his arms initiatively. He had hugged Lin Wenxi before not just once or twice, and he only felt it was a little warmer. However, he had never thought that thing would be so shameless that it actually wake up now!


    Lin Wenxi tried to calm himself down, but he couldn¡¯t do it. He clearly felt that the same thing of him was slowly waking up and it seemed that it was to get up after azy stretch. Lin Wenxi was greatly shocked, and he rushed to the bathroom, drenched it brutally with cold water several times. He begged it note back again in his mind. Meanwhile, Zhao Yuan pounded hard on it, and murmured, ¡°Get down! Get down! Fuck!¡±


    Lin Wenxi suddenly smiled, ¡°Go down and take a cold shower.¡±


    Zhao Yuan agreed tamely. But Lin Wenxi¡¯s face blushed again. He thought to himself, ¡°Why? What¡¯s wrong with me today? I have just drenched it with cold water. Why does it rebel again?¡± Lin Wenxi ran down once more, and then he refused to return to the room.


    ¡°Again... It¡¯s snowing... Let¡¯s go out for a walk.¡± Zhao Yuan was also quite annoyed. He went downstairs with his toes pointing outwards. Both of them had some dirty motives and they all walk out the door with a really wield posture.


    The cold wind was blowing their faces, Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t help but shudder with cold. Zhao Yuan wanted to take his jacket off and gave it to him, but he looked at Lin Wenxi hesitantly. Then he couldn¡¯t help butugh. Lin Wenxi also lowered his eyebrows and looked down whose face was as red as roses now.


    The flying snow was boundless and the sky was far and wide. They walked side by side to the Zhegui Bridge. The river wind was whistling. The shadows of the lights on both sides reflected on the sparkling water, a lot like the bright lights from the windows waiting for the children to return home. Zhao Yuan quietly reached out his hands. He tried a few times and finally managed to grab Lin Wenxi¡¯s little hands in his hands.


    At that point, Lin Wenxi felt that everything was quiet down, and the barriers in his chest were gone, ¡°A little righteousness, a thousand miles of free wind!¡±


    Zhao Yuan smiled and said nothing. He only felt that he was full of energy in his chest, and it also seemed that his heart had settled down. The first time in his life, he felt so stable.


    ¡°You tell me, what¡¯s wrong with us?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°You should ask what¡¯s wrong with them...¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°Be serious.¡± Lin Wenxi reproached coyly.


    ¡°Why do you think that I am not serious? We are so good now. They probably just want to make friends.¡± Zhao Yuan simply sang a ssical song, ¡°I am looking for a friend. I find a good friend. We salute each other and shake our hands.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t be childish!¡± Lin Wenxi stared at him.


    ¡°If Zheng Kai were here, he would say something like from the biological point of view that it¡¯s a stress response of the cerebral cortex, and then the brain will secrete...¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Uh-huh...¡± Lin Wenxi no longer wanted to talk about this topic, so he asked, ¡°What do you think of Gu Xi and Zheng Kai?¡±


    ¡°Gu Xi is merely a child that he doesn¡¯t know anything. If he continues to pester Zheng Kai, something will happen to him one day sooner orter.¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°What will happen to him that day?¡±


    ¡°He will turn into ashes or his fragrance will vanish. You have more extensive vocabry than me, you say it yourself.¡±


    ¡°No, it can¡¯t be...¡±


    ¡°Zheng Kai is not Wang Zhengjuan, Gu Xi is not Zhou Nannan. The world is not running ording to personal will. He should let it go if it is the time to, shouldn¡¯t he?¡± Zhao Yuan said sternly.


    Lin Wenxi was a little depressed.


    ¡°The wind is getting stronger, let¡¯s go back.¡± Zhao Yuan yawned slightly. He loosed Lin Wenxi¡¯s hand, and held his shoulder. The figures of them soon disappeared into the snow night.


    That night, they slept back to back. None of them dared to get close to each other, because only in this way could they sleep in peace during the night.

 Chapter 64 (You Should Piss Off!) To Defend the Weak against the Strong

    <h4>Chapter 64 (You Should Piss Off!) To Defend the Weak against the Strong</h4>


    There was a street behind Zhao Yuan¡¯s home. It was not very wide and seldom traveled by vehicles, but as it connected two counties, it was frequently traveled by pedestrians. As such, there were many shops and unlicensed street vendors.


    Zhao Yuan pointed at two men who were smoking at a corner of the street while ncing around from time to time and told Lin Wenxin. ¡°They must be urban management officers.¡±


    Before opening this small shop, Zhao Yuan¡¯s father Zhao Ming had been an unlicensed street vendors and feared the urban management officers just like the other vendors.


    At the crossroad, located a teahouse. Its owner would inform the vendors of theing of the urban management officers by calling the most respected guy among them. Once this vendor saw an iing call from the teahouse owner, he would tell all the other vendors that the urban management officers wereing. In an instance, these vendors stood up and pretended to be pedestrians. They would walk around while carrying two baskets on a shoulder pole. Upon seeing that, the urban management officers had no reason to arrest them. Once the officers sessfully arrested an unlicensed vendor on the spot, the vendor would getpletely unreasonable and even make a scene with them. Even if the officers just came to give these unlicensed vendors a warning, they would be agitated and use the officers of not giving them a chance to make a living.


    Gradually, the urban management officers got used to turning a blind eye to the unlicensed street vendors, as long as they did not hinder the traffic. In the past, Zhao Yuan had often opened the back door of his house to set up a stall on the street. As he got along well with his neighbors, they would help him guard against the urban management officers. Once the officers came, they would tell him to pack up his things and close his back door. As such, he had never gotten caught by the officers. When he and his father had some money, they applied for a business license and opened this shop at the back of their house. Now, Zhao Yuan often helped the unlicensed street vendors guard against the urban management officers.


    After hearing Zhao Yuan¡¯s story, Lin Wenxi frowned slightly.


    Zhao Yuan said with a smile. ¡°Do you think I shouldn¡¯t do this?¡±


    Lin Wenxi replied bluntly, ¡°Yes.¡±


    Upon seeing the serious look on Lin Wenxi¡¯s face, Zhao Yuan did not know whether tough or cry. He exined. ¡°This is a market. Without it, this street won¡¯t be so lively.¡±


    Lin Wenxi said righteously, ¡°No, if everyone refuses to obey the regtions, this street will be blocked up.¡±


    Zhao Yuan did not want to argue with Lin Wenxi. He thought that it was alright to do anything to make money as long as it was not illegal. Lin Wenxi¡¯s reaction made him feel a little ufortable. He asked, ¡°Is someone in your family an official? You really talk like an official now.¡±


    Lin Wenxi looked somewhat nervous and honestly replied: ¡°Yes. Do you hate officials?¡±


    Zhao Yuan said. ¡°Yeah.¡± Zhao Yuan vaguely remembered that his father had said that the reason he got broke was that a newly promoted official hindered him frompleting his project even when he managed to get all the certificates required. Because of this failed project, Zhao Yuan¡¯s father became deeply in debt, and the life of his family gotpletely changed.


    As such, Zhao Yuan really did not like officials very much. He told Lin Wenxi what he felt directly, as he wanted to be honest with him. He would never voice his thoughts so directly in front of the other people.


    Upon seeing the flicker of disappointment within Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes, Zhao Yuan pointed at a box of snappers and asked smilingly, ¡°How much do you think this box of snappers is worth?¡± (Snappers are a kind of firecrackers that you throw to the ground to make snapping noises and often yed by small children.£©


    By doing this, he sessfully diverted Lin Wenxi¡¯s attention. Upon looking at the nicely packaged box, Lin Wenxi could not help but reach out his hand to touch it. He said, ¡°I think that it¡¯s worth at least a dozen yuan.¡±


    Zhao Yuanxi chuckled and said, ¡°Alright, I sell it to you at 10 yuan now. That¡¯s such a bargain for you!¡± Afterwards when Lin Wenxi knew that Zhao Yuan sold such a box of snappers at 10 yuan when he bought it at 2 yuan, he could not help but call Zhao Yuan a ck-hearted businessman.


    Lin Wenxi used to hate the children who yed with snappers on the street, as he did not like noise. Today, however, when the children in the street came to y together with him, he felt somewhat excited and gave them his snappers for free. Soon enough, all the children nearby knew about this and came to beg him for snappers. As such, no one wanted to buy the snappers anymore.


    Lin Wenxi thought it was alright to give them some snappers as they were cheap. At first, he still secretly counted how many boxes he consumed. Gradually, he forgot about this since he had a good time ying snappers with the children.


    Zhao Yuan did not have many snappers now but still happily gave them to the children for free. He sighed with a smile while looking at Lin Wenxi. He thought, ¡°No matter a person is rich or poor, he or she can find a way to have fun. As long as he¡¯s happy, I feel contented.¡±


    Suddenly, a little boy came up and grabbed Lin Wenxi¡¯s hand. He pointed a finger at a noisy crowd nearby while sobbing and saying that his grandpa was bullied. Lin Wenxi looked at the boy and remembered that he was the child who had given him a crab apple yesterday. He rushed into the crowd and saw that two men who wore auxiliary urban management officer armbands were about to throw a wooden cart filled with apples down the bridge.


    When the wooden cart shook, many apples fell from it. All of these apples had lucky words printed on them. Beside the cart, the old man, who was arrested by another two auxiliary urban management officers, was ovee with sadness and kept crying.


    Some people who lived nearby wanted to pick up the apples for the old man, but the auxiliary urban management officers stopped them by shouting at them. A few children crawled into the crowd, picked up some apples, and ran away while eating the fruit.


    When the cart of apples was about to be thrown down the bridge, Lin Wenxi shouted, ¡°How dare you!¡±


    Upon hearing that, the auxiliary urban management officers shifted their gaze to Lin Wenxi and shouted at the boy, ¡°You brat, piss off!¡±


    Lin Wenxi was irritated and roared, ¡°You should piss off! How can you bully an old man like him? Where¡¯s your conscience?¡±


    The auxiliary urban management officer, who insisted on throwing the old man¡¯s cart down the bridge, was named Yang Anbang. He used to be a street hooligan and had just got this job through his connection. He felt at home in the urban management team and became excessively arrogant now. Lin Wenxi¡¯s reaction made him feel somewhat disgraced. He overturned the wooden cart and ran to Lin Wenxi while stepping on the apples on the ground. He grabbed the boy¡¯s cor and shouted, ¡°Fuck off, if you don¡¯t want to die here.¡±


    Lin Wenxi was not afraid of Yang Anbang at all. He violently pushed the man away while shouting, ¡°You must pay for the apples you ruined!¡± The next moment, Lin Wenxi¡¯s vision went ck, his cheeks stung and his ears started tingling. He knew that he got pped across the face. He wanted to fight back but did not know how. During the moments of darkness, he heard some peopleughing and then whining.


    When Zhao Yuan could not find Lin Wenxi anywhere around his shop, he heard him shouting somewhere outside. When he ran to the crowd, he happened to see Yang Anbang p Lin Wenxi. He was furious and elbowed his way into the crowd. Upon seeing Yang Anbang kick Lin Wenxi, he felt worried and irritated and kicked the man away. Upon seeing that, the other auxiliary officers came at Zhao Yuan together.


    Zhao Yuan defeated all of them easily. They fell to the ground while whining before they could get close to the boy. Zhao Yuan did not want to get into any trouble. He pulled Lin Wenxi up and ran together with him. To his surprise, they ran into several policemen in ck uniforms the moment they rushed out of the crowd. Zhao Yuan did not run away as usual. Instead, he stayed in the ce while tightly holding Lin Wenxi¡¯s hand.


    The crowd of people who witnessed what had happened all took up the cudgel for the two boys, but the policemen said that these boys needed to give the police a statement and took the boys and the auxiliary urban management officers away in their patrol cars.


    Zhao Yuan insisted on sending his friend to see a doctor first. As such, the moment they arrived at the police station, a doctor came to see Lin Wenxi and gave him some painkillers. After that, they were asked separately by the policemen.


    Zhao Yuan could not find anyone to help them out at this moment, as his cellphone was temporarily expropriated by the police. He behaved cooperatively and then managed to contact one of his friends by giving a policeman a hint. ording to the investigation, Yang Anbang was the one who had started the fight, so Zhao Yuan was released in the evening. Besides, the auxiliary urban management officers did not get badly wounded. Yang Anbang was just slightly injured, and the other auxiliary officers, who were always afraid of getting hurt, had just pretended to get wounded by falling to the ground.


    The moment he got his cellphone back, he immediately contacted Lin Wenxi. To his surprise, he found out that Lin Wenxi¡¯s cellphone was power off. He asked around and discovered that Lin Wenxi had not been released yet.


    Zhao Yuan begged the policemen for a long time and told them that they could not detain his friends as he had not turned 18. After some time, the policemen lost their patience and drove Zhao Yuan out of the police station.

 Chapter 65 (At Least, You Haven’t Slapped Me across the Face) To Warm Each Other at a Cold Night

    <h4>Chapter 65 (At Least, You Haven¡¯t pped Me across the Face) To Warm Each Other at a Cold Night</h4>


    Lin Wenxi was angry and kept asking the policemen why they detained him.


    The policemen patiently asked him questions and then banged the table to threaten him, but still failed to get him booked. They went to ask Zhao Yuan for help, and Zhao Yuan said that they could try to contact Lin Wenxi¡¯s parents.


    Beyond everyone¡¯s expectation, Lin Wenxi just refused to show the policemen his student ID card or tell them how to contact his parents. This was because he knew that he would get into trouble if they contacted his father Lin Ziwei. When Zhao Yuan got released, Lin Wenxi was still detained in the police station.


    ording to the regtions, the policemen could not frisk Lin Wenxi. As he refused to cooperate with the policemen, they could only leave him in an empty room alone.


    Before getting thrown into the room, Lin Wenxi shouted at the policemen, using them of illegally detaining him without a warrant. The policemen refused to let him go before getting his statement. The locked the door and handed over their work to the next shift before going home.


    The policemen had asked their colleges on the next shift to deliver a meal to the boy who was locked in the room in the evening, but the policemen on the next shift just forgot about it. Because of the impending spring festival, the policemen just did not pay much attention to their jobs. They kept ying mahjong in the evening.


    It was a cold winter night, and there was no bed or quilt inside Lin Wenxi¡¯s room. To make the situation even more unpleasant, there was even a water leak in a corner of the room. It seemed to be a storage room, but because of theing festival, all the things had been distributed out. At this moment, there was nothing left inside this room, not even a strip of paper.


    After staying inside this room for about half an hour, Lin Wenxi felt that his knees were frozen. He stood up and kept pounding on the thick wooden door.


    Not long after that, the policemen heard a loud ng and went to see what happened. They saw Zhao Yuan smash a window of the police station with a rock


    By doing so, Zhao Yuan sessfully got himself locked together with Lin Wenxi. Before getting into the police station, he made a call.


    ¡°Who is it?¡± Lin Wenxi asked with a trembling voice.


    ¡°It¡¯s me,¡± Zhao Yuan replied and groped his way across the room.


    Lin Wenxi felt relieved and continued to ask with a trembling voice, ¡°Did you get detained too?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Zhao Yuan sighed inwardly, ¡°Howe a calm and nice guy like Lin Wenxi will be a totally different person when he gets angry? He¡¯s not as smart as usual now.¡±


    When Zhao Yuan grabbed the cold hands of Lin Wenxi, he felt worried about his health and could not help but take him into his arms. During this process, his lips identally touched the cold lips of Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi¡¯s heart began to race when he felt the warm lips of Zhao Yuan. He could not help but to hold Zhao Yuan more tightly, his mind aplete nk. After a while, he pushed Zhao Yuan away while shouting, ¡°Pervert!¡±


    The next moment, he heard Zhao Yuan reply solwly and calmly, ¡°It¡¯s great. At least you haven¡¯t pped me across the face this time.¡±


    Lin Wenxi was rendered speechless.


    ¡°You seem to regret having pped me before,¡± Zhao Yuan smiled and approached Lin Wenxi. He hugged him from behind. Lin Wenxi felt that his body was warm now.


    He twitched his mouth and said, ¡°It seems that you just can¡¯t forget about the feeling of being pped across the face. Do you want to try again?¡±


    As the night was long, they could not remain standing all the time. Zhao Yuan lean against a vertical wall while tightly holding Lin Wenxi, trying his best to keep him warm.


    He was not sure how long he had been standing like this together with Lin Wenxi when he heard someone open the door with a key. A beam of light was shot into the room, and then a nket, a bag of bread and a hot water bottle were thrown to them. Upon seeing these things, Zhao Yuan was pretty sure that they would be released tomorrow.


    Zhao Yuan asked Lin Wenxi to hold the hot water bottle and then covered him with the nket. Lin Wenxi refused and struggled to stand up. He folded a corner of the nket and asked Zhao Yuan to sit on it. After that, he sat in between Zhao Yuan¡¯s legs and arms and wrapped the unfolded part of the nket around both of them. Fortunately, the nket was big enough for them.


    Zhao Yuan did not feel cold anymore. He embraced Lin Wenxi and kept patting him as if he was holding a baby. Lin Wenxi enjoyed this feeling. He put his face against Zhao Yuan¡¯s chest and felt relieved. Gradually, he fell asleep.


    The next morning, Lin Wenxi woke up first and used his head to touch Zhao Yuan¡¯s chin to wake him up. At this moment, they could see sunshine creep into the room through the cracks of the door. Zhao Yuan yawned and stretched. His whole body ached as he had gotten wounded during the fight yesterday. He had not paid much attention to his wounds and pains until now.


    Suddenly, the door was opened, and strong light entered the room. Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi could not help but cover their eyes with their hands.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan,e out!¡± A policeman shouted outside.


    Zhao Yuan grabbed Lin Wenxi¡¯s hand and asked to leave together with his friend, but got refused. He knew that it was not wise to argue with a policeman and let the man drag him out of the room. Lin Wenxi was locked up in the dark room alone. He felt agitated and tightly held the nket.


    ¡°I never know that you have such a powerful friend!¡± The policeman took Zhao Yuan into another room. On the table inside the room ced two cups of hot drinks, two pieces of bread and several steamed buns.


    Zhao Yuan looked pale now. His face was unshaved, and his eyes were swollen and red. There were some blood stains at the corners of his eyes. His nose was swollen and stained with blood too. He refused to eat breakfast and kept on thinking how to get Lin Wenxi released. At this moment, the door was opened and a woman who wore a mink fur hat and a pair of color-changing sunsses came in. She was well-dressed but looked young. She was Chen Wanxin.

 Chapter 66 (Zhao Yuan Seemed to Have Changed) A New Semester

    <h4>Chapter 66 (Zhao Yuan Seemed to Have Changed) A New Semester</h4>


    ¡°What did you do to yourself?¡± Chen Wanxin felt worried and anxious upon seeing Zhao Yuan. She took out her handkerchief to wipe the wounds for him while saying angrily, ¡°Did the policemen beat you up? I won¡¯t let them off! No one in this county dares to act against my will!¡±


    Zhao Yuan turned his face away and said, ¡°No, not them. I¡¯m fine. Can you ask them to release Wenxi now?¡±


    Chen Wanxin slightly frowned andined, ¡°I thought that you would want to say some sweet words to me first.¡±


    Zhao Yuan said with a smile, ¡°Thank you, Wanxin.¡±


    Chen Wanxin smiled slightly and asked, ¡°Why did you think of asking me for help?¡±


    Although Zhao Yuan felt anxious, he still managed to remain calm in front of Chen Wanxin. ¡°When I noticed that your driver is a senior military instructor, I know that you can help me out. Sometimes, money can¡¯t solve all the problems.¡± Zhao Yuan guessed that Chen Wanxin¡¯s family must be very powerful.


    Chen Wanxin nodded and continued to wipe the wounds for Zhao Yuan. She felt irritated upon seeing Zhao Yuan get wounded for Lin Wenxi, so she just refused to make any promise to Zhao Yuan now.


    ¡°Please ask the police to release him now, Wanxin. It¡¯s cold inside the room,¡± Zhao Yuan said eagerly.


    Chen Wanxin frowned and said coldly, ¡°No, I won¡¯t ask them to release him. He made you get injured so badly!¡±


    Zhao Yuan kept coaxing Chen Wanxin for a long time. He did everything she wanted him to do. He ate up the bread, drank up the milk and let her wipe all his wounds clean.


    ¡°Wanxin, what do you want me to do in exchange for you helping Wenxi?¡± Zhao Yuan asked somewhat grumpily.


    Upon hearing that, Chen Wanxin, who was holding a spoonful of soup and blowing on it to cool it down, sttered the soup to the ground and stood up. Her eyebrows knitted tightly together. She shook her head and pointed a finger at Zhao Yuan while sobbing. ¡°You called me at 10:00 p.mst night, asking me to help you out. I tried my best to solve the problem for you and traveled all night toe to this ce to see you. How can you talk to me like this?¡±


    Zhao Yuan was rendered speechless, as he was well aware that at this moment, he should not talk like this.


    Tears slowly rolled down Chen Wanxin¡¯s face. She smiled bleakly and pushed the door open. She pointed at another room and said, ¡°Look with your own eyes, Zhao Yuan!¡± With these words, she picked up her handbag and walked away without looking back at all.


    When Zhao Yuan entered that room, he saw Lin Wenxi sitting on a sofa with some nkets ced beside him. Zhao Yuan could tell that Lin Wenxi was still angry and refused to wrap himself in the nkets or eat the food here. He thought, ¡°Lin Wenxi looks warm now. It looks like that he was released a long time ago. Chen Wanxin was just joking when she told me that she would not help him.¡±


    With this in mind, Zhao Yuan ran out of the police station to find Chen Wanxin. When Lin Wenxi caught up with him, the two of them saw Chen Wanxin run toward a luxury SUV while weeping.


    ¡°s...¡± Zhao Yuan sighed and let steame out of his mouth while watching the vehicle speed away. Inside the SUV, Chen Yuxin was talking with someone on the phone. She said in a deep voice, ¡°It is time to let him know.¡±


    Lin Wenxi felt somewhat suffocated. Last night, he had indulged himself in the warm embrace of Zhao Yuan. He had never given much thought to why Zhao Yuan had been locked in the same room together with him until now. At this moment, he realized how Zhao Yuan had managed to get into that room to apany him. He thought ruefully, ¡°When he was injured and needed a good rest, he hugged me and remained fixed in the position all night to keep me warm. He didn¡¯t eat the bread as I refused to eat it.¡± Lin Wenxi wanted to cry, but his eyes were dry. He suppressed the urge to sob and thus made a strange noise in his throat. He felt dejected and worried upon seeing Zhao Yuan¡¯s wounds.


    ¡°Don¡¯t cry. It¡¯ll be considered a sign of weakness here,¡± Zhao Yuan calmly said and then felt a sharp pain at the corners of his mouth. Lin Wenxi stopped sobbing and nodded.


    The two of them went to find two policemen to take their ID cards, student ID cards and cellphones back before leaving the police station. The two policemen looked somewhat apologetic and kept saying that it was a misunderstanding before sending them away.


    Lin Wenxi gritted his teeth and looked back at the police station where he had been detained for a night. This police station was located in a remote coner of the country.


    He thought, ¡°It was Chen Wanxin who got me out of this ce. Her family must be quite powerful. And I, the only son of the deputy major of the city, had to be locked in this ce for a whole night and dared not to tell anyone who I am. If they had known who I am, they would¡¯ve treated me the way they did Chen Wanxin. That¡¯s one of the perks of being a rtive of an official. Maybe it¡¯s wrong for my father to keep my identity a secret. I used to think that my father did this for justice, but where¡¯s justice. It seems that it has nevere up to me.¡±


    As Zhao Yuan had asked his neighbors to help him take care of the shop in time, when they came back to the shop, everything was alright. When Lin Wenxi was about to dress Zhao Yuan¡¯s wounds, Hong Xuan called him.


    ording to Hong Xuan, Lin Ziwei wanted Lin Wenxi toe back to the vige to spend Chinese New Year¡¯s Eve together as nearly all the rtives hade back this year. At Lin Ziwei¡¯s request, Hong Xuan would send Lin Wenxi back to the vige.


    Lin Wenxi felt reluctant to leave Zhao Yuan but he had to obey his father¡¯s wish. In the afternoon, when the luminous sun shone brightly over the yard, Zhao Yuan apanied Lin Wenxi to the gate. It was exceptionally cold when the snow began to melt. Lin Wenxi could not help but shiver. He looked at the two snowmen and noticed that the thin snowman¡¯s skirt tilted. He went to put the skirt back in ce and walked back to Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°You... Just take care of yourself,¡± said Zhao Yuan. Lin Wenxi nodded and walked away. After a while, he looked back and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Zhao Yuan.¡±


    Zhao Yuanughed and said, ¡°Don¡¯t say that. You¡¯re the bravest guy I¡¯ve ever met.¡± Upon hearing that, Lin Wenxi left gleefully. When he looked back at Zhao Yuan again, he could not help but touch his own lower lip, his heart racing.


    Throughout the new year holiday, Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan had never called or texted each other.


    When the new semester started, Zhao Yuan seemed to have changed.


    On the first day of the semester, when Lin Wenxin woke up in the sunny morning and yawned, he saw a bowl of hot-dry noodles on this desk. He knew for sure that it was Zhao Yuan who bought it for him and Zhao Yuan only bought breakfast for him.


    ¡°Fuck! Why did he only buy breakfast for you? Did you meet each other¡¯s parents and get engaged or something? Why are you suddenly on good terms now? Didn¡¯t you break upst year? Tell me. What happened during the new year holiday?¡± Wang Xiang sprang out of his bed, nning to eat Lin Wenxi¡¯s noodles.


    Lin Wenxi hurriedly took a bite and then put the noodles down while saying, ¡°Hehe, help yourself.¡± With these words, he went to wash up.


    Wang Xiang felt confused.


    He wondered, ¡°Where¡¯s Zhao Yuan now?¡±


    When Lin Wenxi called Zhao Yuan, Zhao Yuan said, ¡°I¡¯m in the lecture room now. I¡¯ve upied seats for us in the front of the room.


    When Lin Wenxi took his breakfast to the lecture room, he saw Chen Wanxin standing outside the room and calmly looking up at the blue sky. She gleefully chatted with Zhang An¡¯an while eating her breakfast.


    To his surprise, the package of her breakfast was exactly the same as the one of his breakfast.

 Chapter 67 (Why Did She Bully You?) A Fight during a Lecture

    <h4>Chapter 67 (Why Did She Bully You?) A Fight during a Lecture</h4>


    Upon seeing Lin Weenie, Chen Waxiness could not help but tease, ¡°It looks like Chaos Yuan is a two-timer.¡±


    Lin Weenie remembered what he had said to Chen Waxiness before. He thought, ¡°Chen Waxiness clearly takes my words seriously and believes that Chaos Yuan and I are just friends. However, what happened during the new year holiday made me realize that I cannot let go of my obsession with Chaos yuan.¡±


    Lin Weenie pretended not to understand what she meant and looked at her.


    ¡°I never know that you and Chaos Yuan are from the same county. You were suddenly on bad termsst year, and now you guys get along well with each other again. Didn¡¯t you say that you don¡¯t have a special feeling for him? Do you still want to keep your words?¡± asked Chen Waxiness.


    ¡°That depends on how you define a special feeling. For me, friendship between roommates and ssmates is not special,¡± Lin Weenie said in a deep voice.


    ¡°Is love a special thing for you?¡± Chen Waxiness kept a straight face and asked bluntly.


    ¡°No, it¡¯s amon thing,¡± Lin Weenie replied tly.


    ¡°So tell me what is a special feeling?¡± Chen Waxiness asked angrily.


    ¡°If you have a feeling, which¡¯s simr to that between you and your parents, for one of your peers, it¡¯s very special. And racial discrimination is special...¡± Lin Weenie began to ramble.


    ¡°You!¡± Chen Waxiness got furious. As she had believed Lin Wenxi¡¯s words, she gave up plotting against this boy. She had never expected him to deny what he had said so quickly.


    ¡°You know what. I¡¯m not Shu Xiaoman who believes in the so-called pure love. Such an idea just disgusts me! Boys should love girls. That¡¯s how human beings survive and multiply. It¡¯s wrong for you to love Chaos Yuan. You¡¯ll be despised. Stop it now,¡± Chen Waxiness pointed at Lin Weenie and said while standing on the steps.


    Lin Weenie went up the steps slowly and then whispered beside Chen Wanxin¡¯s ear, ¡°I love him and I can¡¯t stop it. What can you do? Does this have anything to do with you? If you¡¯re able to make him fall for you, I¡¯ll wish you all the best!¡±


    Upon hearing that, Chen Waxiness smiled coldly and asked, ¡°Are you saying that you¡¯re determined topete with me?¡±


    ¡°I never n topete with anyone else. I just follow my own heart to love or hate someone. I don¡¯t care whether it¡¯s right or wrong,¡± replied Lin Wenxin. ¡°As for you, Chen Waxiness, do you really love Chaos Yuan? Or, do you just want to get him for some other reasons?¡±


    Chen Waxiness was surprised and then replied with a smile, ¡°Every girl will like a guy like Chaos Yuan, as long as she¡¯s not blind!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not blind either,¡± said Lin Weenie.


    ¡°But a person like you can¡¯t love him in a decent way like I do,¡± Chen Waxiness giggled and said.


    ¡°Oh? What kind of person am I? I really want to know how a well-educated girl from a powerful family like you will verbally abuse me,¡± Lin Weenie said with a smile.


    ¡°Hehe, you¡¯re not blind, but there are still some things that you can¡¯t see. Unlike you, I know everything about Chaos Yuan,¡± said Chen Waxiness.


    ¡°You¡¯re not me. How do you know that I don¡¯t know these things?¡± Lin Weenie retorted with a smile.


    ¡°Hymph!¡± Chen Waxiness suddenly lifted up a hand to throw Lin Wenxi¡¯s breakfast to the ground and walked away.


    Lin Weenie squatted down to look at his breakfast food. It was stained with dust now. He felt dejected. He pursed up his lips and gritted his teeth.


    ¡°Are you alright, Weenie? Why did Chen Waxiness bully you?¡± Gu Xi ran up to Lin Wenxin and felt indignant. ¡°You can eat my breakfast food. Here you are. If it¡¯s not enough, I¡¯ll go to buy more food for you.¡±


    ¡°Thank, but I don¡¯t need the food,¡± Lin Weenie said and then carefully washed his noodles with mineral water. After that, he ate up the noodles under the astonished gaze of Gu Xi.


    Later that day, the lecturer who taught object-oriented technology grumpily rushed into the university counselor¡¯s office. Shortly afterwards, Gu Xi and Chen Waxiness entered the office at the request of their university counselor.


    ¡°You¡¯re university students now! How could you fight during a lecture?¡± The university counselor held her sses, trying to see them more clearly. She could hardly believe that a girl was able to beat up a boy. Upon seeing the slender boy, she understood why this thing happened.


    This morning, when the lecture on the object-oriented technology had just began, Gu Xi rushed into the lecture room all of a sudden. He bashed a book on Chen Wanxin¡¯s head and stuffed her mouth with a dirty steamed bun while saying, ¡°You bullied Weenie and ruined his breakfast food. Now, it¡¯s time for you to eat some dirt!¡±


    Chen Waxiness, who had been listening to the lecturer attentively, failed to react in time. After getting hit by Gu Xi and tasting some dirty dust in her mouth, she burst with anger and shame. She poured a cup of water on Gu Xi and then pped him several times in a row. Gu Xi was quickly beaten to the ground. When she grabbed an ink bottle, nning to bash it on Gu Xi¡¯s head, Chaos Yuan stood up and stopped her in time.


    ¡°He started the fight. Can¡¯t I fight back?¡± Chen Waxiness shouted at Chaos Yuan.


    ¡°That¡¯s enough,¡± Chaos Yuan said and dragged Chen Wanxi to the side. When he was helping her smooth her hair, he happened to see theplicated look within Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes.


    Lin Weenie came up to help Gu Xi to stand up. The moment Gu Xi stood on his feet, he pushed Lin Weenie away and ran toward Zheng Kai, who was sitting in the back row and dozing. He threw himself into Zheng Kai¡¯s arms and cried. Upon seeing that, Zheng Kai was furious and looked around. When he found out that it seemed to be Chen Waxiness who had beaten up Gu Xi, he calmed down and said, ¡°Don¡¯t mess with her. I can¡¯t help you if you fight against her.¡±


    ¡°Aren¡¯t we brothers?¡± Gu Xi asked while sobbing.


    ¡°But I can¡¯t beat up a girl for you. I can¡¯t do such a thing.¡± Zheng Kai exined.


    ¡°But at least, you shouldfort me!¡± Gu Xi grumbled.


    ¡°What do you want me to do?¡± Zheng Kai asked worriedly. Thest time he had Gu Xi such a question, Gu Xi had asked to hug and kiss him. Because of this incident, Zheng Kai had ignored Gu Xi for days.


    ¡°I just want to hug you and cry for a while. Is it okay?¡± asked Gu Xi.


    ¡°There are so many people around us...¡± Zheng Kai replied worriedly.


    ¡°I¡¯ll do that when we go back to the dorm,¡± said Gu Xi


    ¡°...¡± Zheng Kai was rendered speechless and tacitly approved it.


    When Zheng Kai went back to Dorm No. 216 after the lecture, Gu Xi rushed into the dorm and wrapped his arms around Zheng Kai¡¯s waist. To his surprise, he was unable to cry at this moment no matter how hard he tried. He kept rubbing his face against Zheng Kai¡¯s body and refused to leave. Zheng Kai felt displeased. He thought that Gu Xi looked alright now and thus threw him out of his dorm.


    As for the lecturer, he felt angry at Chen Waxiness and Gu Xi, as they ruined his lecture today. In Jifu University, every lecturer was given only 3 or 4 hours to finish all his or her lectures during each semester. The lecturers spent lots of time preparing the lectures, trying to cover all the important knowledge points while keeping the students interested. He had only one hour to finish his lecture today but wasted more than 10 minutes because of these two students. After the lecture, he went to find the university counselor in a fit of anger.


    The university counselor had dealt with a lot of conflicts between student before but had never met such a situation where a boy got beaten up by a girl. After careful investigation, she deducted a few of their credits and let the two students leave.


    When Chen Waxiness went back to her dorm in a fit of anger, she received a call from Luo Yang.


    ¡°I heard that you were bullied. Do you want me to get back at that student for you?¡± Luo Yang asked with concern.


    ¡°No. It¡¯ll be ridiculous for you to get back at such a slender boy. As to Lin Weenie, as you sure that he¡¯s from an ordinary family?¡± asked Chen Waxiness.


    ¡°ording to my investigation, he is,¡± Luo Yang said cautiously. Just before this semester, Mo Qian had ordered Luo Yang not to tell Chen Waxiness the real identity of Lin Weenie since Chen Wanxin¡¯s father did not want them to fight against each other. To Luo Yang¡¯s surprise, Chen Waxiness and Lin Weenie still became deadly foes like their fathers. He was confused since Chen Waxiness seemed to hate Lin Wenxi¡¯s gusts but never agreed to let him harm the boy. He asked Chen Waxiness, ¡°What about the forum thing?¡±


    ¡°Postpone it. We¡¯ll have another chance in the future. Don¡¯t send anyone to beat him up. You¡¯ll only alert him by doing this. And some of his friends know kung fu. If you irritate them and get into trouble, I won¡¯t help you out!¡± Chen Yuxin said coldly.


    ¡°So what exactly do you want, Miss Chen?¡± Luo Yang asked confusedly.


    ¡°I¡¯m waiting for a chance to crush him once and for all. I want him to be kicked out of this university!¡± Chen Waxiness said balefully. Suddenly, she saw someone through her window and asked, ¡°Who is it?¡± She ran out of her dorm.


    To her surprise, the corridor was empty.

 Chapter 68 (I Can’t Avoid or Ignore Her Anymore) Zhao Yuanqing Owes a Lot to Chen Wanxin

    <h4>Chapter 68 (I Can¡¯t Avoid or Ignore Her Anymore) Zhao Yuanqing Owes a Lot to Chen Wanxin</h4>


    On Valentine¡¯s Day, Shu Xiaoman, Lin Wenxi, Gu Xi, Zheng Kai and a few boys and girls gathered together in the evening tofort each other. Shu Xiaoman enviously told them that at the beginning of this year, Zhao Yuan hade to the city to visit Chen Wanxin.


    She made many guesses as to why Zhao Yuan had visited Chen Wanxin during the spring festival and kept talking at the table. Zheng Kai and Lin Wenxi kept listening to her without saying a word. Gu Xi enjoyed gossiping together with Shu Xiaoman for a while. After that, when he noticed that Zheng Kai did not wear the jade goddess of mercy pendant ne, he felt displeased and kept pestering Zheng Kai. Zheng Kai asked him to stop making a fuss over such a small thing.


    ¡°By the way, why didn¡¯t Zhao Yuane here together with you guys? Do you know where he is, Wenxi?¡± asked Gu Xi.


    Lin Wenxi and Zheng Kai fell silent at the same time.


    Early this evening, Chen Wanxin had suddenlye to their dorm and asked Zhao Yuan to go out with her. Zhao Yuan tried to refuse her in the beginning, but in the end, he still packed up his things and left with Chen Wanxin silently.


    Since being told by Chen Wanxin that he did not know something about Zhao Yuan, Lin Wenxi had always wanted to find a chance to ask him about it in recent days but failed to think of a proper reason to ask him about his personal affairs.


    Lin Wenxi did not know this thing for a reason.


    During the new year holiday, Zhao Yuan had received a call from a nurse of a hospital in the city not long after Lin Wenxi had left his house. The nurse told him that his father had been in the hospital for nearly half a year and owed the hospital a lot of money now.


    Zhao Yuan hurriedly went to the hospital to see his father. When he found out that his father looked alright, he felt much relieved.


    The debts were a big problem for him. He thought, ¡°It looks like that I can only raise the money by selling our house in the county and borrowing money from my rtives and friends.¡±


    When he was lost in thought, the door of the ward was suddenly opened, and Chen Wanxin came in while carrying many nutrition supplements. They were surprised upon seeing each other here.


    ¡°You?¡± They eximed simultaneously.


    Chen Wanxin told Zhao Yuan how she had identally found his father in this hospital. ¡°My cousin works in this hospital. One day, she told me that a patient who got wounded in a traffic ident stayed in her hospital for a long time without paying the medical expenses and refused to contact his family. I was just curious and then found out that this patient is from Yangzi County and his surname is Zhao. I checked his photo and thought that he looks simr to you, so I decided toe here to see him.


    ¡°Uncle Zhao refused to talk to me when we first met. When I told him that I¡¯m your girlfriend, he felt much relieved. I told him that you perform well in our university, and he was moved to tears.


    ¡°Uncle Zhao said that he wanted to save more money for your future, so he came to work in the city to make money. One day, when he was driving a truck, a pedestrian suddenly stood in his way. To avoid hurting the pedestrian, he made a sharp turn and thus drove his truck into a pond. Fortunately, he was taken out of the pond in time. But the pedestrian was nowhere to be found.¡±


    (What Zhao Ming had not told Chen Wanxin was that he suspected that someone had altered his steering wheel. As he had no evidence, he could only bear the loss by himself. He used all his money to pay off his loans and thus did not have money to pay for his medical expenses.)


    Chen Wanxin continued, ¡°Uncle Zhao did not want to make you and your rtives worried and insisted on waiting for the traffic police to find out the pedestrian who should bear half of the loss. As such, I paid for his medical expenses and helped him to hide this thing from you.¡± When Chen Wanxin was talking, Zhao Ming thought to himself, ¡°My son has a good girlfriend. When I¡¯m discharged from the hospital, I¡¯ll have a serious talk with him. I should urge him to study hard and work hard to pay the money back to his girlfriend.


    ¡°And this girl is so pretty and kind. She helped me a lot. Obviously, she must love my son very much. If Zhao Yuan loves her too, I should advise him to mary her when he has a sessful career and a good ie.


    After hearing Chen Wanxin¡¯s words, Zhao Yuan felt touched and said, ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Zhao Yuan loved and respected his father very much. He had lost his mother when he was little, and it was his father who had worked hard year after year to support him. He thought, ¡°I didn¡¯t treat Chen Wanxin very well in the past. I¡¯ve never expected her to do such a thing for me. I¡¯m really grateful for her, but she told my father that she¡¯s my girlfriend. This is somewhat awkward.¡±


    Upon hearing Zhao Yuan¡¯s words, Chen Wanxin said with tears welling up in her eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t thank me. I always treat your father as my own father.¡±


    Zhao Ming was so moved. He suppressed his urge to cry and said, ¡°Yuan, your girlfriend is really nice. She took good care of me every time she came to see me. She fed me water and food and even washed clothes for me.¡± While saying this, Zhao Ming could not help but think of his missing wife. He thought that if his son could marry this kind girl he would really have nothing to worry about in the future.


    ¡°Wanxin...¡± Zhao Yuan stuttered. ¡°I¡¯ll definitely pay you back.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t say that. I¡¯m perfectly happy to help you.¡± Chen Wanxin paused and then whispered, ¡°How did you know that your father is here?¡±


    Zhao Yuan told her that a nurse had called him and told him everything. Chen Wanxin was so surprised upon hearing this that her face changed. She hurriedly made a call and shortly afterwards, a female doctor who looked somewhat simr to Chen Wanxin, walked into the ward.


    ¡°Hey, cousin! I¡¯ve told you that I¡¯ll take care of Uncle Zhao¡¯s medical expenses. Why did you call his son?¡± Chen Wanxin said anxiously.


    ¡°What¡¯re you talking about? It¡¯s not me. Maybe it¡¯s someone at the cashier. It¡¯s probably Xiao Liu,¡± the female doctor grumbled and dragged Chen Xinxin out.


    ¡°Do you know how much money you¡¯ve paid for him? He still owes the hospital some money. You¡¯ve sold quite a lot of your jewelry for this thing. If you continue to pay for him, your father will find it out sooner orter. He¡¯ll be angry at you!¡± The female doctor said outside. ¡°And I saw Xiao Liue to visit Mr. Zhao before. He probably gave his son¡¯s number to her. That¡¯s none of my business!¡±


    ¡°Alright, alright, I know it¡¯s not you. Don¡¯t tell this thing to anyone. Otherwise, I won¡¯t ask Boss Mo to help your husband to get the loan!¡± said Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°Tut-tut, how can you threaten your cousin like this? We¡¯ve been as close as real sisters since our childhood.¡± The female doctor pinched Chen Wanxin with a smile on her face and then walked away.


    ¡°Stop ming your cousin, Wanxin. I was me. I just don¡¯t want you to take care of these things alone, so I gave my son¡¯s number to the cashier,¡± Zhao Ming said apologetically.


    Chen Wanxin nodded slightly and said. ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal. I was just afraid that this thing would distract Zhao Yuan from his studies.¡±


    ¡°No, I should¡¯ve let him know a long ago. Please forgive me. I¡¯m really selfish...¡± Zhao Ming said ruefully.


    ¡°No, no. I should help him even if we¡¯re just ssmates. And, I... I mean he and I are...¡± Chen Wanxin stuttered while looking at Zhao Yuan.


    Zhao Yuan smiled toward her without saying a word.


    Upon seeing that, Chen Wanxin asked Zhao Ming to take a good care of himself and left.


    After her departure, Zhao Ming said disappointedly, ¡°It seems that she likes you but you don¡¯t like her. ¡°What a pity! She¡¯s such a good girl. If you really don¡¯t like her, you should let her know instead of letting her waste her time on you!¡±


    ¡°She knows it,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Sigh, I thought that you two really loved each other. I really shouldn¡¯t have let her do all those things for me. I feel somewhat guilty now.¡± Zhao Ming could not help but sigh.


    ¡°She lets me know about this thing when she wants me to know about it.¡± Zhao Yuan suddenly said. He was well aware that if Chen Wanxin really did not want him to know about this thing, he would not be able to know it.


    ¡°That¡¯s nonsense! No matter how rich she is, she can¡¯t help me pay the medical expenses all the time. She might¡¯ve really sold her jewelry for me or borrowed money from her friends. Now she cannot make ends meet and thinks of this method to shift this burden to you without hurting anyone¡¯s feelings. She¡¯s so considerate and thoughtful. You really don¡¯t deserve her!¡± Zhao Ming said somewhat grumpily.


    ¡°Dad, don¡¯t get upset. I¡¯ll pay her back! But she¡¯s not as good as you think her to be...¡± Zhao Yuan felt reluctant to continue. After all, a rich girl like Chen Wanxin probably had never taken care of a patient by herself before. Considering all she had done to his father, Zhao Yuan did not want to speak ill of her anymore.


    He thought, ¡°It seems that my father ns to respect my choice now, although he feels grateful for Chen Wanxin. But if she continues to help us, he¡¯ll probably urge me to marry her in the future.¡±


    Zhao Yuan had some doubts about Chen Wanxin.


    He thought, ¡°If she really just cared about me without asking anything in return, she would never let me know what she had done for my father. Now when she knows that Wenxi and I are on good terms and feels sad about it, I ¡®happen¡¯ to receive the call from the hospital. I know what she wants, but I cannot give it to her.


    ¡°However, considering all she has done for my father, I can¡¯t avoid or ignore her anymore.¡±

 Chapter 69 (To Covet Sichuan after Capturing Gansu) Disputation

    <h4>Chapter 69 (To Covet Sichuan after Capturing Gansu) Disputation</h4>


    As Lin Wenxi and Zheng Kai remained silent when hearing Zhao Yuan¡¯s name. Gu Xi regretted mentioning him and wanted to say something to ease off the tension and divert everyone¡¯s attention. He teased, ¡°I wish that a hot couple like Zhang An¡¯an and Wang Xiang would find out that they¡¯re real brother and sister someday, haha.¡±


    ¡°Haha, I wish you and Zheng Kai were real brothers,¡± Shu Xiaoman hurriedly echoed.


    Gu Xi was rendered speechless.


    After that, Shu Xiaoman began to read horoscopes and astrology. After her failure to prove that a Leo guy and a Pisces girl were well-matched, she began to search the Inte for a Leo guy¡¯s best gay partner but failed to get any result. She felt bored and started to check whether a Scorpio guy and a Scorpio girl were well-matched. When she got a negative result, she sighed inwardly, ¡°This is a big worry.¡±


    Gradually, the boys and girls lost interest in this gathering. They chatted for a while and then dispersed.


    Not long after Shu Xiaoman returned to her dorm, Chen Wanxin and Zhou Nannan came back. When it was gettingte, they still did not see Zhang An¡¯an. Shu Xiaoman wanted to call Zhang An¡¯an, but Zhou Nannan stopped her while smiling meaningfully at her.


    ¡°So why did youe back tonight?¡± asked Shu Xiaoman.


    ¡°Don¡¯t mention it! Just log onto the forum of the university and you¡¯ll know why!¡± Zhou Nannan looked somewhat annoyed.


    Shu Xiaoman remembered that Wang Zhengjuan had kissed Zhou Nannan in the public when they hung out with their friendsst time. Wang Zhengjuan adored Zhou Nannan and did everything she wanted her to do except for one thing. Wang Zhengjuan just could not stop showing affection in public ces. They had quarreled for many times because of this.


    When Chen Wanxin went to the bathroom, Zhou Nannan whispered to Shu Xiaoman, ¡°Guess who I ran into on my way back to the dorm?¡± Before Shu Xiaoman replied, Zhou Nannan added mysteriously, ¡°I saw Zhao Yuan and Wanxin! Wanxin wanted to hold Zhao Yuan¡¯s hand, but he refused. As such, she held his arm and walked together with him all along the way. Why do they suddenly get back together?¡±


    ¡°Who knows? Maybe Zhao Yuan made a bet with someone again,¡± Shu Xiaoman said and forgot to lower her voice. At that moment, Chen Wanxin happened to walk out of the bathroom and hear what she said. Chen Wanxin flushed with anger and said, ¡°Watch your mouth, Shu Xiaoman!¡±


    Since thest time she had fought against Chen Wanxin, Shu Xiaoman had been on bad terms with her. Upon hearing what she heard, Shu Xiaoman just chuckled and thought to herself, ¡°Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi are a perfect match.¡± The next day, when she told this thing to Zhang An¡¯an, Zhang An¡¯an touched her head and said smilingly, ¡°Silly girl, leave them alone. If they¡¯re really meant for each other, they will get together in the end no matter what Wanxin does.¡±


    ¡°Do you think that they¡¯re worried about being gossiped? Do you think that¡¯s why Zhao Yuan gets back together with Wanxin?.¡± Shu Xiaoman asked hesitantly.


    ¡°Come on. Nowadays, no one will discriminate against them. They would be able to get married if they were in another country. Why do they have to be worried about that?¡± Zhang An¡¯an replied without hesitation.


    ¡°An¡¯nn, I think you¡¯ve changed recently.¡±


    ¡°How did I change?¡±


    ¡°As you have Wang Xiang now, you don¡¯t care about Wenxi anymore.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t think that Wenxi has a special feeling for Zhao Yuan. You should work harder now. Once Wenxi gets a girlfriend, you¡¯ll get really upset, won¡¯t you? Besides, now I think that maybe Gu Xi and Wenxi are a couple. Which one of them do you think is on the top?¡± Zhang An¡¯an said whileughing meaningfully. Shu Xiaoman smacked her while swearing and chasing after her.


    When the two girls calmed down, they sat down together in the woods.


    ¡°In the gentle waves of Cambridge, I would be a water nt!¡± Zhang An¡¯an smilingly recited a line from a love poem. This was what Wang Xiang had grumbled before falling asleepst night. Upon hearing that, Shu Xiaoman had goose bumps all over her body. Suddenly, they saw Lin Wenxi and Gu Xi sneak through the woods, each holding a bottle of water in hand. The girls were intrigued and crept behind the boys.


    After a while, they saw the boys stop in front of the library and discuss something. Gu Xi grabbed Lin Wenxi¡¯s clothes and wanted to drag him out of the woods, but Lin Wenxi refused. He gave his bottle of water to Gu Xi and left. Shu Xiaoman and Zhang An¡¯an managed to avoid Lin Wenxi and continue to creep behind Gu Xi. Not long after that, they saw Zheng Kai and Zhao Yuan sweeping away dead leaves on the square in front of the library. The square covered an area of about a few thousands square meters. Half of it had been swept by now.


    Shu Xiaoman thought of the recent work-study programme. ¡°It looks like they¡¯ve joined the programme. It¡¯s said that campus cleaning and maintenance jobs are the hardest and dirtiest jobs. I guess that they¡¯re well-paid jobs. As they¡¯re working here, Gu Xi and Lin Wenxi must¡¯vee here to deliver them some water. But why did Lin Wenxi leave?¡± The girls felt confused and looked around. When they saw Chen Wanxin feeding water to Zhao Yuan, they understood why Lin Wenxi suddenly left.


    ¡°What a public disy of affection,¡± Shu Xiaoman said while stamping her feet and then looked worriedly at Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxi was walking under some plum trees now, which did not have any leaves on their branches. Shu Xiaoman felt somewhat bleak upon seeing that.


    ¡°Don¡¯t get too obsessed with it!¡± Zhang An¡¯an whispered to Shu Xiaoman, asking her to lower her voice.


    Gu Xi walked up to Zheng Kai and handed him a bottle of water. Zheng Kai received the water without saying a word and quickly gulped it down. When he was about to pick up the other bottle of water, Gu Xi stopped him while saying smilingly, ¡°No, this one is for brother Yuan.¡±


    ¡°When did you begin to cozy up to Zhao Yuan?¡± Zheng Kai was puzzled.


    ¡°It¡¯s not I that carried this bottle of water here. The boy who brought it here had felt embarrassed and fled,¡± Gu Xi threw a quick nce at Chen Wanxin and said. Chen Wanxin immediately understood what he was talking about. She felt somewhat annoyed and continued to pour water for Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan, however, could not help but look at the woods and receive the bottle of water from Gu Xi.


    Gu Xi suddenly took the water back and said grumpily, ¡°Wang Xiang taught me an idiom, ¡®To covet Sichuan after capturing Gansu¡¯. Do you know what does it mean? It¡¯s often used to describe people who have insatiable desires. Now that you¡¯ve drunk Wanxin¡¯s water, you can¡¯t drink Wenxi¡¯s water.¡± With these words, he screwed the lid open and poured the water on the ground. He threw the empty bottle at Zhao Yuan and walked away.


    ¡°You!¡± Chen Wanxin flushed with anger. She nced at Zheng Kai and found out that he also looked somewhat irritated. She gave him a tissue and smiled at him. Zheng Kai felt so ttered and quickly wiped off sweats from his face with the tissue. When Chen Wanxin was not looking at him, he hurriedly inserted the tissue into his pocket and felt energetic again. He was so excited and could not wait to finish cleaning the square.


    When Chen Wanxin stormed back into her dorm, Shu Xiaoman and Zhang An¡¯an, who had known everything, deliberately avoided her. After a while, she still failed to calm herself down. Instead, she felt even angrier. Suddenly, she remembered that Shu Xiaoman had once said that Zheng Kai refused to wear a jade goddess of mercy pendant ne that Gu Xi gave him.

 Chapter 70 (What a Strange Coincidence!) To Meet Each Other Everywhere

    <h4>Chapter 70 (What a Strange Coincidence!) To Meet Each Other Everywhere</h4>


    When Lin Wenxi finally managed to pass the two exams that he had failedst semester, he discovered that he got an even fuller schedule and had to go to theputer room to practice his skills for this semester.


    When he went to theputer room, he was surprised to find out that this room was packed with students from the other departments and even the other universities. If he wanted to use aputer here, he had to wait in line. He thought dejectedly, ¡°Unfortunately, I¡¯m not Zhao Yuan who can always find someone to upy a seat for himself and even another seat for Chen Wanxin. And I don¡¯t have a girlfriend like Zhang An¡¯an, who always upies a seat for her boyfriend. Gu Xi will probably just be able to upy a seat for Zheng Kai.¡± With this in mind, he nced at the crowd and turned around, prepared to take his leave.


    ¡°Wenxi! Wenxi! Here!¡± Zhao Yuan raised his hand inside theputer room and shouted.


    Lin Wenxi walked up to him with a smile.


    ¡°Oh, you¡¯ve found a seat for me. Thank you!¡± Chen Wanxin took the seat with a smile and said. Zhao Yuan was rendered speechless. When he looked around, he could not find Lin Wenxi anywhere.


    Lin Wenxi did not want to go to theputer room again. He wanted to ask his parents to buy him aputer but was not sure whether it was appropriate to make such a request of them. He needed at least several thousand yuan to buy aputer. The money was equal to one-month¡¯s allowance of his father. His mother was a writer who had published quite a lot of works, but she was not well-paid either. Every time he thought about his mother¡¯s ie, he felt confused, since he often heard that some on-line novel writers could earn several million yuan a year. His mother kept saving money for him and nned to use her money to help him get married and buy an apartment.


    Every time his mother went shopping, she wouldpare prices in different malls. It would even take her a lot of determination to buy just one good piece of clothing. Upon thinking about his parents¡¯ ie, he felt hesitant to ask them to buy him aputer although he really needed one now.


    After talking with his father on the phone, Lin Wenxi was not worried about this matter anymore. His father refused his request directly and asked him to join the work-study program to earn some money to buy aputer for himself. He muttered to himself, ¡°I¡¯m probably not a real son of my father...¡±


    When his mother Huang Xiya knew about this and used her husband of being too mean to their child, Lin Ziwei still refused to change his mind. As such, Huang Xiya secretly gave Lin Wenxi some money, but it was not enough for aputer. After some thought, Lin Wenxi entered for the work-study program and quickly got a job interview. It was a part-time doorman job at a high-end restaurant.


    He went to the interview together with Gu Xi, but in the end, only he got hired. Afterwards, the manager told him that the reason his friend got eliminated was that he looked too attractive.


    ¡°Once he stands at the door, we can¡¯s do business. People will flock to the door to look at him,¡± said the manager. ¡°We¡¯re not running that kind of business here.¡±


    Upon hearing that Lin Wenxi joked, ¡°Are you suggesting that I don¡¯t look attractive enough?¡±


    ¡°No. At least, you look like a boy, and your posture is good. But your friend looks really slender and somewhat girly. I¡¯ll ask the makeup girl to cken your face a little to make you well-matched to the other handsome doorman. It¡¯ll be great to see you guys standing at our door!¡± The manager pinched Lin Wenxi¡¯s arm and went to get a contract for him.


    After getting the contract and leaving the restaurant, Lin Wenxi said smilingly to Gu Xi who looked grumpy now. ¡°You know what. The manager is worried that his customers won¡¯t eat anything in his restaurant if you stand at the door.¡±


    ¡°Why? I think that I look even more attractive than you do,¡± Gu Xi gently stroked his cheeks and said dissatisfiedly.


    ¡°Because you look too attractive just like Zhao Yuan. People will forget that they¡¯re hungry upon seeing you. I¡¯m really lucky to meet such handsome guys like you!¡± Lin Wenxi touched Gu Xi¡¯s head and said with a smile.


    Gu Xi grinned happily.


    On Saturday, Lin Wenxi got up at around 6:00 am in the morning. Right at this moment, he heard Zhao Yuan¡¯s rm clock ringing. They were surprised upon seeing each other get up so early on a Saturday morning. Zhao Yuan jumped to the ground and went to wash up. Lin Wenxi stood behind Zhao Yuan and frowned, as he thought that Zhao Yuan was going to buy breakfast food for Chen Wanxin again. Zheng Kai and Wang Xiang were also woken up by the noise.


    Wang Xiang muttered dissatisfiedly, ¡°In recent days, you always came back to the dormte at night. How many girls have you fucked recently, Zhao Yuan? Do you want to do Wenxi today?¡±


    ¡°You yed the video game all night and got too tired to open your eyes. But now it seems that your mouth still works well. Do you want Zheng Kai to insert a banana or something of simr shape into your mouth?¡± Zhao Yuan talked back.


    ¡°You¡¯re such a dirty-minded hooligan!¡± Wang Xiang suddenly opened his eyes and red at Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Why did you drag me into this shit? Stop making such jokes. I¡¯m a straight guy!¡± Zheng Kai stretched and yawned.


    ¡°And you¡¯re a single guy, A¡¯kai. Instead of jerking off, you¡¯d better take good care of Wang Xiang. You know what. Just don¡¯t waste your baby batter.¡± Zhao Yuan wiped his face and said.


    Wang Xiang was annoyed and shouted, ¡°Feed your baby batter to Wenxi. Maybe he can get pregnant with his mouth!¡± The moment he finished his sentence, he got hit on the head by a thick book. He looked at the angry face of Lin Wenxi in surprise and added, ¡°Tut-tut, you¡¯re such a greedy guy, Zhao Yuan. You already have Wanxin now. Why do you still want Wenxi to make a baby with you?¡±


    The next moment, the dorm resounded with screams and shouts. Wang Xiang got beaten up by the other three guys and was forced by them to clean the dorm. Afterwards, Wang Xiang told this thing to Zhang An¡¯an to seekfort, but Zhang An¡¯an scolded him. ¡°What a dirty-minded guy you are.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t you that taught me these things? Now I¡¯ve be better at this than you are. Are you jealous?¡±


    ¡°Save it, Wang Xiang. You taught yourself about these things and pretended to be an innocent boy in front of me! And don¡¯t joke about Wenxi and Zhao Yuan¡¯s rtionship anymore. Things between them areplicated, not to mention Wanxin¡¯s intervention,¡± Zhang An¡¯an retorted grumpily.


    ¡°I never meant to joke about their rtionship. The two of them just act strangely all the time. They did everything together. You know what. This morning, they got up early together and left the dorm together. Gu Xi said that he heard them quarrel at the door of the dormitory building,¡± said Wang Xiang.


    ¡°What did they quarrel about?¡± Zhang An¡¯an felt intrigued and asked.


    Wang Xiang told her everything he knew.


    In the morning, Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan had left their dorm together. When they walked out of their dormitory building, Zhao Yuan asked Wenxi, ¡°Where are you going so early in the morning? Do you n to follow me?¡±


    Lin Wenxi twitched his mouth and replied. ¡°I¡¯m going to hide from you.¡±


    ¡°I can find you no matter where you go, as long as you don¡¯t go back into your mother¡¯s womb,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Then don¡¯t follow me. Let¡¯s see whether you can do that!¡± said Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°It¡¯s you that follow me,¡± Zhao Yuan said while taking a step forward to stand in front of Lin Wenxi.


    Gu Xi did not know which one of them was walking in the front when they left. After quarreling all the way to the bus station, Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi were surprised again, as they got on the same bus.


    ¡°Are you serious? Do you have to take a bus to buy breakfast food for Chen Wanxin?¡± asked Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Who told you that I was going to buy breakfast food for her. I¡¯m going to buy some vinegar for you,¡± replied Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°What?¡± asked Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°The quality of the vinegar that you eat is not good enough. Stop eating it,¡± said Zhao Yuan. (In Chinese, if you say that someone is eating vinegar, you mean that this person feels jealous,)


    Lin Wenxi could not help but pinch Zhao Yuan and asked, ¡°Where indeed are you going?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m going to work as a watchdog. What about you?¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to work as a door god,¡± said Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Like a watchdog in the celestial world?¡± Zhao Yuan teased.


    The two boys kept bickering over such trifles for an hour gleefully and then got off the bus at the same bus stop.


    They thought, ¡°What a strange coincidence! We do the same part-time job!¡±

 Chapter 71 (Going Out Every Night) Zhao Yuan Did Three Part-time Jobs

    <h4>Chapter 71 (Going Out Every Night) Zhao Yuan Did Three Part-time Jobs</h4>


    The manager said with surprise, ¡°What? You¡¯re ssmates! Jifu University has recruited some really handsome boys this year.¡±


    ¡°Handsome and talented boys...¡± Lin Wenxi mumbled in a low voice and then fell silent. Zhao Yuan stared at him and asked, ¡°How did you find me here, honey?¡±


    Lin Wenxi shrugged his shoulders without saying a word. Soon enough, they got changed and stood at the door of the restaurant. Now, each of them wore a red jacket with two ribbons and a tassel medal in the front part of it, shoulder boards with yellow tassel fringe trim, a cowhide belt which was 3 centimeters in width, a pair of red pants and a pair of ck leather over-the-knee boots. Both of them looked great in the suits. Lin Wenxi said proudly, ¡°We¡¯re dressed like young generals with outstanding and meritorious achievements.¡±


    When they started to work, they did not feel so proud anymore.


    They had to stand upright at both sides of the door and greeted and bowed to every customer, when he or she entered the restaurant. They had to work from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm, and during this period of time, they were allowed to go to the toilet only once. They had half an hour to eat their lunch and another half hour to take a nap. In the afternoon, they had to work from 2:00 pm to 7:00 pm before handing over their work to their colleagues on the next shift.


    During the military training, they had been asked to stand still under the scorching sun for three consecutive hours and not allowed to blink too often. Given this, they used to think that this job would be easy for them. They could asionally move their necks to rx themselves and went to the toilet when necessary. To their surprise, not long after they started to work, they were soaked with sweats. As it was a weekend, there were many customers. They had to bow again and again.


    In the beginning, Lin Wenxi could not tell passers-by from customers and bowed to some people who were just walking past the restaurant. Every time those passers-by were surprised by him and ran away whileughing, he would look pale and embarrassed. Some girls woulde to take a photo with Zhao Yuan and even ask for his number. Some passers-by who were attracted by his good looks would evene to touch him. Zhao Yuan treated them politely and did his job well.


    When they came off duty and each got a daily wage of 200 yuan. They decided to eat hot pot together.


    Zhao Yuan lifted up his arm and said to Lin Wenxi, ¡°Come on, grab me.¡±


    Lin Wenxi shook his head and said, ¡°No, you¡¯re tired too.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not a big deal. I¡¯ve gotten used to this kind of life. I¡¯ll be alright.¡± Before Zhao Yuan finished his sentence, Lin Wenxi grabbed his arm and rested his upper body on it. In this way, they walked all the way to the bus stop. Lin Wenxi thought to himself, ¡°I used to despise Gu Xi as he always lets Zheng Kai drag him in this way, but now I see why he does this all the time. This really feels great.¡±


    When they returned to their dorm, Zhao Yuan asked Lin Wenxi to lie prone on his bed. After that, he sat on Lin Wenxi¡¯s butts and gently massaged his waist. Lin Wenxi felt much rxed.


    Upon seeing that, Wang Xiang immediately took a picture of them and sent it to Zhang An¡¯an, while mumbling teasingly, ¡°My beloveddes on horseback.¡±


    Lin Wenxi was too tired to move, so he said, ¡°Stuff a banana into his mouth, Zhao Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Let Zheng Kai take care of him,¡± Zhao Yuan said while massaging Lin Wenxi¡¯s waist. Not long after that, he told him that he had to leave and walked out of the dorm. Lin Wenxi was curious and crept behind him. Wang Xiangughed and said, ¡°What¡¯re you doing? He¡¯s going to meet Chen Wanxin!¡±


    ¡°Are you sure?¡± Lin Wenxi asked, his eyes widened in surprise.


    ¡°They meet up at the gate of the university nearly every night. Who the hell knows what they¡¯re up to!¡± Wang Xiang said while reading a geography magazine in his bed.


    Zhang An¡¯an was pleasantly surprised upon receiving the photo from Wang Xiang. She immediately threw her cellphone to Shu Xiaoman. Shu Xiaoman nearly screamed with excitement when seeing the photo. She managed to suppress the urge and quickly saved the photo to the phone. After that, she gave Zhang An¡¯an a hint, asking her to remove the photo from the chat history. Zhou Nannan happened to see the photo and cried out in excitement, ¡°Oh, this is great. I¡¯m looking forward to seeing a photo of them kissing!¡±


    At this moment, Chen Wanxin came out of the bathroom wearing a pair of white bunny slippers. She walked to the bedside of Zhang An¡¯an and asked, ¡°What¡¯s it?¡±


    Zhang An¡¯an realized that Chen Wanxin must¡¯ve seen everything and said smilingly, ¡°I¡¯ve deleted it, as I don¡¯t want anyone else to see it.¡± With these words, she gave Chen Wanxin her cellphone and showed her the chat history between her and Wang Xiang.


    ¡°What¡¯s the photo about?¡± Chen Wanxin asked with a smile.


    ¡°It¡¯s about something that a guy does when his wife is not at home,¡± Zhang Anan smiled helplessly and replied.


    Chen Wanxin asked smilingly again, ¡°Does this guy do this thing together with a man or a woman? Sometime, your words just can¡¯t be taken in their literal sense.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s really just a funny photo that I took back in my hometown. Only vige girls like me will find this funny.¡± Zhang An¡¯an smiled embarrassedly and replied. Chen Wanxin threw a quick nce at Shu Xiaoman, took out a mask, and slowly put it on her face. After a while, she finished dressing up and walked out of the dorm with a smile.


    ¡°What do you think she goes out to do together with Zhao Yuan every night?¡± asked Shu Xiaoman.


    ¡°Don¡¯t care about the things that you shouldn¡¯t care about,¡± Zhang An¡¯an said in a deep voice.


    ¡°But do you forget about what I¡¯ve told you? On that day, I heard her say...¡±


    Zhou Nannan interjected, ¡°But she did nothing, didn¡¯t she? I think she won¡¯t do anything to him. She¡¯s not that mean. Every time there¡¯s something wrong with the things in our dorm, she¡¯ll find someone to fix them without asking us to share the expenses. She even helped me getting an antenna for the radio I made. She¡¯s not a bad girl.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re such a stupid and sweet girl. It¡¯s easy to buy off someone like you. Hey, did you tell her what I told you girls?¡± Shu Xiaoman frowned and asked.


    ¡°No, I didn¡¯t. I remain neutral all the time, hehe,¡± Zhou Nannan said with a smile.


    Zhang An¡¯an smiled and held their hands as she said, ¡°Stop it, Xiaoman. Nannan is a pure-minded girl. She¡¯ll keep asking who the good guy is and who the bad guy is when watching a TV show. She won¡¯t be suspicious of anyone without evidence. As long as she doesn¡¯t tell Wanxin what you told us, it¡¯ll be alright.¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t. Trust me!¡± Zhou Nannan grinned and put a strawberry jelly drop into her mouth. These sweets were brought back from abroad by a friend of Chen Wanxin.


    Zhao Yuan felt tired recently.


    Apart from the campus cleaning part-time job, he did three other part-time jobs. He worked as a doorman in the weekends, a martial arts instructor at night, and a part-time salesman in theputer market. He went to the market whenever he had time to earnmissions by sellingputers, and every night, he had to teach two one-hour martial arts sses. When Zhao Yuan weighed himself, he found out that he had lost 2.5 kilograms over the past month. Despite his hard work, he still did not have enough money to pay his father¡¯s medical expenses. Now he was thinking about selling his house back in his hometown again.


    At midnight, he sat beside the boxing ring alone, soaked in sweats. His arms hurt as he had helped his students practicing the round kick for hours. He lit a cigarette and inhaled the cigarette smoke. Suddenly, he thought that he had an illusion. ¡°Why is Lin Wenxi here?¡±


    He fixed his eyes upon the person in front of him and saw that it was Chen Wanxin. She smiled and took out a bottle of sports drink. She had stayed here quietly and watched Zhao Yuan for a long time.


    ¡°Have you been here all night?¡± asked Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Yes, I just wanted to spend more time together with you,¡± replied Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°You should¡¯ve returned to the university when I finished the first ss. Now the door of your dormitory building is closed,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Yuan, how about I pay the remaining debts for you?¡± asked Chen Wanxin. She did not sound very confident as she had already sold all her jewelry and borrowed money from all her close friends and rtives. She thought that she probably had to steal some of her mother¡¯s jewelry to pay the debts for Zhao Yuan. She had thought about asking Mo Qian for help, but Mo Qian would never lend her money without asking the use of the money. Once Mo Qian knew that she borrowed money to help Zhao Yuan, he would definitely tell this thing to her father.


    ¡°Thank you very much, Wanxin! But you¡¯ve promised me that you¡¯ll let me solve this problem. I¡¯ll find a way to solve it,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°But there¡¯s only half a month left!¡± Chen Wanxin could not help but retort.


    Zhao Yuan remained silent. He wanted to solve this problem by himself. In the meantime, he also wanted to see how hard he could work and how much potential he had under such pressure.

    Today, when Lin Wenxi stood at the entrance to the restaurant together with another part-time doorman, they bowed more frequently than usual and felt exhausted. After some observation, Lin Wenxi noticed that some customers just kepting in and out all the time.


    Zhao Yuan, who was worried that the hospital would not give his father prompt treatment before it received some money, asked for a leave, and went to the hospital to pay some of his father¡¯s medical expenses. As such, Lin Wenxi had to rely on himself to solve this problem now. He kept wondering, ¡°What would Zhao Yuan do if he was here?¡± When he spotted the sarcastic smiles on their faces, he came to realize that these people were hired by someone to give him a hard time. He stopped bowing to them. Although he was annoyed, he still managed to keep smiling.


    One of these strange customers shouted at him, ¡°Hey, how can you treat your customers so coldly? You even didn¡¯t say anything to greet us!¡±


    Lin Wenxi remained calm as he knew that real customers of this high-end restaurant would never make a fuss over such a trifle. After all, he remained polite and smiled at them all the time. Upon seeing their reactions, he knew for sure that these strange customers hade here to make trouble for him. After some thought, he took out his cellphone and took a few pictures of them.


    They were surprised and surrounded him while asking, ¡°Hey! What¡¯re you doing? Why did you take pictures of us? What¡¯re you up to?¡± Lin Wenxi took out 500 yuan from his pocket, which was all his savings, and said tly, ¡°Who tells me the truth first will get paid first.¡±


    Someone immediately pointed a finger at a cafe across the road and said, ¡°The girl who¡¯s sitting in the cafe over there hired us!¡±


    Lin Wenxi looked at the girl sitting by a French window and recognized the light-yellow coat which Chen Wanxin often wore. He was sure that this girl was Chen Wanxin and got furious. He threw the money at that person and ran toward the cafe.


    Upon seeing that, Chen Wanxin flushed with anger and pushed the young man sitting beside him, while saying sarcastically, ¡°That¡¯s your brilliant idea!¡± With these words, she stood up and walked toward the back door of the cafe, nning to flee the ce. She had flown into a rage the moment she knew that Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan worked together at this restaurant. She believed that it was Lin Wenxi who deliberately followed Zhao Yuan here. As she knew that Zhao Yuan asked for a leave today, she came here and asked her driver Luo Yang to think of a way to make Lin Wenxi suffer.


    Luo Yang found several real estate sales agents, who were nicely dressed but could not earn much money during a day. He gave each of them 200 yuan and asked them to keeping in and out of the restaurant to give Lin Wenxi a hard time. He had never expected that Lin Wenxi would have taken out 500 to buy the truth.


    The moment Chen Waxin walked out of the cafe, she ran into Lin Wenxi. She shouted, ¡°If you don¡¯t go back as soon as possible, you¡¯ll be fired.¡± She was quite impressed by the nicely-dressed Lin Wenxi and thought to herself, ¡°I would get along well with this pretty boy if he didn¡¯t want my boyfriend.¡±


    ¡°Why do you do this to me?¡± asked Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°I, I just like to see you get angry.¡± Chen Wanxin smiled and added, ¡°Why do you have to follow Zhao Yuan here and do this part-time job together with him?¡±


    ¡°Firstly, I¡¯ve no choice. The work-study program offers me only this part-time doorman job and a part-time flyer distributor job! I have to stand all day long here. Do you think that I enjoy doing this job? Secondly, I didn¡¯t follow Zhao Yuan here. Even if I did, what does that have anything to do with you? How can you y such a contemptible trick on your ssmate? Aren¡¯t you a well-educated university student?¡± Lin Wenxi was filled with indignation.


    ¡°With you being around, Zhao Yuan won¡¯t love me wholeheartedly! I¡¯ve done so much for him. What about you? What did you do?¡±


    ¡°When he needs me, I¡¯ll be there. When he doesn¡¯t need me, I¡¯ll quietly walk away. I don¡¯t want anything from him. If you really think that it¡¯s I who hinders you from getting him, just continue to y these ridiculous pranks on me and put on an act to embarrass yourself,¡± Lin Wenxi replied grumpily and ran back toward the restaurant while considering how to exin his absence to the manager.


    Unfortunately, no matter how he exined to his manager, his manager still decided to fire him ording to the rules.


    ¡°Do you really think that you can do whatever you want, Chen Wanxin? Do you really think that you can bully me like that? I¡¯ll be able to make your restaurant get closed down,¡± Lin Wenxi thought furiously and wanted to call Hong Xuan immediately. On second thought, he gave up this idea, as he was well aware that neither Hong Xuan nor Lin Ziwei would allow him to reveal his identity or use their power to do such a thing. They even had not done anything to help him when he got detained in the police station of Yangzi County during the spring festival.


    Lin Wenxi felt like a loser£®


    He had spent all his wages. He had bought only a few books for himself and given himself a treat for just a few times. He had wasted most of his money on the strange customers who were actually hired by Chen Wanxin. To make the matter worse, now he could only work as a flyer distributor, as the work-study program did not offer a tutor job or something else.


    Lin Wenxi sat silently all day long while feeling depressed. Fortunately, he did not lose his temper over trifles now. As long as he did not show everyone a sullen face, Zheng Kai would not have a problem with him. Wang Xiang knew that he could never defeat Lin Wenxi in argument and did not want to talk with this moody boy now. Gu Xi took Lin Wenxi to different piano stores, trying to make him feel better. Zhao Yuan quit the part-time doorman job upon knowing that Lin Wenxi got fired.


    As Zhao Yuan had four part-time jobs now, he did not have much time to stay inside his dorm or even attend the lectures. Fortunately, his friends took turns to answer the roll calls for him. As such, he did not have much trouble in the university. His first part-time job was the assistant coach of the basketball ss of the university. Although there were not many basketball sses, the pay was good. He also worked as a part-time salesman in theputer market and a part-time martial arts instructor. To help his students practice martial arts, he often got beaten up, but he felt that it was alright. His fourth part-time job was a waiter at a bar.


    The manager of the restaurant, where he had once worked as a doorman, introduced him this waiter job. To thank the manager, Zhao Yuan gave him a treat and helped him train the new doormen.


    The bar where Zhao Yuan worked was named MO Capital. It was thergest all-night bar in the city and located on the top floor of a 40-story building in the downtown area of the ciTy. There was a well-decorated revolving restaurant inside the bar. As such, when you stayed inside the bar, you could enjoy the night view of the entire city. This bar was one of the five franchised bars owned Mo Cheng. The other four bars were MO Night, MO Fall, MO Sky and MO World. Only a few people knew that this Mo Cheng was the most powerful man in the city, whose name was Mo Qian.

    <h4>Chapter 73 (Desktop Has Been Changed) Schemes One After Another</h4>


    The sry of the bar was really good. Themission was given in proportion to the sales.


    As a new waiter, Zhao Yuan attracted the attention of many regr customers at his first appearance. From middle-aged women to young girls, all of them were asking for him. The waiters would sell wine also drink with customers. Among the customers, there were distinguished and noble people. There were also poor customers who only came to try new things.


    Zhao Yuan treated everyone equally. He apanied them with his enthusiasm. He wouldn¡¯t be happier if the guests bought more wine. He wouldn¡¯t stay longer with them if they offered more tips. But he would stay with one guest until he left. However, Zhao Yuan¡¯s tolerant level of alcohol was really amazing. He could drink with a dozen guests one night. He was not affected at all while others got drunk.


    However, Zhao Yuan was rtively different from other waiters. He could let customers touch him, whether it was ady or a gentleman. They hugged him and he spread his hands to show his calmness. Theyy in his arms and he silently apanied them. Even when they patted his ass and he just smiled for it. So, he was named as ¡°Boneless Zhao.¡±


    But ¡°Boneless Zhao¡± had seriously offended an old customer here.


    Thedy wanted to kiss Zhao Yuan, and Zhao Yuan refused. So, she pped him. Zhao Yuan didn¡¯t p back, didn¡¯t bow, and just apologized. However, thedy wasn¡¯t happy about this. She had to kiss Zhao Yuan with her lips that covered with red lipstick. Zhao Yuan refused again and was pped again. At that time, Zhao Yuan punched thedy and put her down on the sofa with her back. Thedy couldn¡¯t move for a long time until he called 120.


    Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuan was rewarded with a ¡°Humble Award¡± by the bar. These chain bars had a lot of benefits for employees, but the most enviable rewards were two. One was the rewards with the meaning of ¡°modesty¡±. Whether it was modesty, humble, or brave, although the bonus was not much, it meant that the basic sry and the corresponding salesmission would increase. The second was also the most important reward. It was the rewards with the meaning of ¡°ink¡±. Whether it was attack or aplishment, it meant a high reward and even had the opportunity to settle in the core leadership of the bar.


    The award-winning staff would take a look at the names and deeds of the ink awards one by one. Zhao Yuan walked to the side of a gold-ted jade cab, and his eyes fell on one of the ¡°Ink Protection¡± awards. The gold-ted character ¡°Zhang Dong¡± written on it.


    Zhang Dong? Which Zhang Dong? The Zhang Dong?


    Zhao Yuan didn¡¯t want to see more. This bar seemed to have a mysterious atmosphere everywhere. It always felt like someone was observing himself in secret.


    Zhao Yuan was not paranoid. It was true that someone was recording everything about him from bar to counter, from time to time.


    This person was very clear about why Zhao Yuan could drink so much. Every time after Zhao Yuan drank with a guest, he would go to the bathroom and use his fingers to stimte his throat, so that all the wine he had drunk would spit out. He knew very well the painful voice when Zhao Yuan vomited and the calm face when he came out. He also knew very well how Zhao Yuan would m the wall of the outer corridor with his fist after being poured by the troubled customers. He would change into a sincere smile immediately after washing.


    He passed it all to Chen Wanxin.


    Chen Wanxin almost shed tears, but she knew that it was all she could do. No, not limited to this, she didn¡¯t know what Zhao Yuan was worried about from time to time¡ªhe would go in whenever he passed the piano store on his way to do part-time jobs. Zhao Yuan didn¡¯t know how to y the piano, but Lin Wenxi looked very skilled. Gu Xi said that Lin Wenxi would y the same song in every music house, which was said to be very perfect and pleasant to listen to.


    What was in the piano shop? Would he buy a piano for Lin Wenxi? No, it was impossible. It was impossible for him to spend any money right now.


    ¡°Whatever, whatever. Luckily, Zhao Yuan is not like he used to be. He won¡¯t mind if I want to stay with him no matter where he is, and how long I stay with him. Of course, he won¡¯t mind. He teaches Sanda. I only wait outside. He teaches basketball. I only help him to pick up the ball. He sellsputers. I introduce customers to him. He goes to the bar. I only drop him off downstairs. Although Lin Wenxi is very annoying, what he said is quite right. ¡°When he needs me, I am there. When he does not need me, I walk away quietly.¡±


    ¡°It seems that this is also happy. I am already satisfied, am I? However, why is he almost do anything I¡¯ve asked but he is still so cold to me? It¡¯s already the season of spring, and everything gets warm! I begged to take a photo with him. I lean in his arms. He didn¡¯t refuse either. Why do I feel so lonely when I walked in the crowd? Why I had never seen his earnest, angry, worried, and even frightened eyes on me when he was so excited and asked me to save Lin Wenxi?! But I just saw it in the eyes of Zheng Kai, the wooden head! He helped me to take up the seat, fetch water, carry the props to the sisters of the dance ss, and even came forward to help to revenge the guy who cheated on one of the sisters! He saw me standing in the rain and waiting for Zhao Yuan to bring me breakfast, that look, was it sad, or pity? Why it has to be Zheng Kai!¡±


    ¡°Only Lin Wenxi, isn¡¯t it? Lin Wenxi, what is good in him? Except being strong, having a little talent, when heughs, seemingly good-looking, better temperament, what else does he have? Doesn¡¯t look better than Gu Xi. Also, he is not the most talented person in the world. Doesn¡¯t have a good family background. But he has a bad temper. He doesn¡¯t know many people and doesn¡¯t have a good ability to deal with things. What¡¯s good in him?¡±


    Chen Wanxin shook her head in pain. Then she got a piece of news from Luo Yang, which made her angrier.


    Lin Wenxi originally thought that he wouldn¡¯t get aputer in the short-term. Unexpectedly, there was aputer shop in Guangfu Town in the city. They suddenly delivered aputer to his door, which was a fairly good one at the time.


    ¡°Well...¡± Lin Wenxi was more vignt about this ¡°falling money¡± than happy. He knew that his father, Lin Ziwei, would never be so ¡°romantic¡±. And his mother, following Lin Ziwei¡¯s arrangement on major issues, wouldn¡¯t make the decision on her own. Hong Xuan wouldn¡¯t worry about this at all.


    He thought it was Zhao Yuan. But could Zhao Yuan worry about this since he was too busy and always disappeared?


    And when theputer was assembled, the power was plugged in and turned on, Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t help but be greatly furious. The default desktop of theputer was a photo of Chen Wanxin and Zhao Yuan! The background was the street, the vehicles were crowded and busy. Zhao Yuan didn¡¯t have any expression. Chen Wanxin was smiling. But it was clear that Chen Wanxin was lying on the chest of Zhao Yuan. This was... when... where, why would it appear on theputer screen!!¡ªChen Wanxin, did you do this?


    Lin Wenxi jumped up, picked up the monitor and mmed it to the ground. Then he kicked the mainframe and the socket to the corner. He was still angry so he jumped on the mainframe and step on it. He swore that he had never been so angry for a long time, and he had not lost his mind for a long time.


    Zhao Yuan was on a basketball ss, tired and sweaty, and a text message came, ¡°Mr. Zhao, order number XXXX, theputer you purchased, monitor model: XXX, motherboard XXXX... has been sent to XXX Road XXX No. 216, Department of Computer Science, Jifu University.¡±


    Zhao Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile.

 Chapter 74 (What are you afraid of?) Wenxi is Miserable and Zhao Yuan is Confused

    <h4>Chapter 74 (What are you afraid of?) Wenxi is Miserable and Zhao Yuan is Confused</h4>


    ¡°Have you got theputer? Happy?¡± Zhao Yuan was so excited that he sent a bunch of text messages and went back to ss.


    When he finished ss, he looked at the messages he got and became dignified.


    ¡°Did you buy it? Zhao Yuan, did you do this on purpose?¡±


    ¡°No, it can¡¯t be you. It must be Chen Wanxin!¡±


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, why theputer screen is a photo of you and Chen Wanxin. Tell me!¡±


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, I am sorry... sorry.¡±


    What happened?


    Zhao Yuan saw that theputer lying in the corner which had been broken into pieces when he went back to the dormitory. He felt breathless and stood there for a long time. Wenxi never got angry easily. But did he do anything wrong? Why did he buy thisputer, just impulsive, just could not help it, but!


    Zhao Yuan looked at the pile of broken copper and stic, turned and threw them away.


    ¡°Even if I didn¡¯t reply your messages, you don¡¯t need to do this!¡± Zhao Yuan said angrily.


    ¡°I did this before you texted, Zhao Yuan...¡± Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t help but say loudly, but everything seemed toote. Zhao Yuan disappeared at the door of their dormitory, and Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t catch up.


    ¡°You did it, right? You bitch!¡± Lin Wenxi yelled at Chen Wanxin on the phone.


    Chen Wanxin smiled lightly, but tears dropped out of her eyes.


    Chen Wanxin heard from Luo Yang that the boss of theputer shop said Zhao Yuan bought aputer for himself.


    But Chen Wanxin was very clear that Zhao Yuan was not like Wang Xiang who loved to y games. Unlike Zheng Kai, who liked to watch various movies, he only loved to watch games, American dramas, and financial news and so on. Although he had to do his homework every time afterputer lesson, he would go to the library if he needed aputer. He helped the librarian to set up theputer configuration and supplied reliable equipment. So the librarian specially reserved aputer for him. He could use theputer all by himself at noon when there were fewer people.


    Zhao Yuan, he didn¡¯t need aputer. Only Lin Wenxi, who thought there were too many people and didn¡¯t like to wait for an experiment. Only him! Only he needed aputer!


    This money was for Zhao Yuan¡¯s father to treat his illness. How could he do this? In less than a week, what could he do to get this money? Even if he wanted to buy it, why not wait for he got enough money for his father first, then buy it? Yes, Lin Wenxi was not happy recently, not pleasant, nothing more!


    Hehe, did this to make the beauty happy? But, Xin Wenxi, what kind of beauty he was?


    Chen Wanxin asked others to put the photo of Zhao Yuan and herself into theputer and set as the default screensaver, desktop, and even the icon of each default folder. She also deliberately turned the entire desktop background of theputer into arge photoposed of dozens of small photos, and the desktop of the entire C disk was filled with pieces of pictures. All the pictures were the same content. The content of all the pictures was ¡°Zhao Yuan Loves WanXin¡±.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi, let¡¯s see. How angry will you be!¡±


    ¡°Of course! How was it? Are your hands too tired to change the setup? You can¡¯t smash theputer. It was Zhao Yuan who brought it! I guess you won¡¯t, you are so gentle and lovely, how can you have such a poor temper?¡± Chen Wanxin giggled.


    ¡°Oh, I printed the photo before I smashed theputer, then I cut off your face and sprinkled a pee on it, I don¡¯t know if you feel it.¡± Lin Wenxi said with a smile.


    ¡°You...bastard!¡± Chen Wanxin couldn¡¯t help but be angry. How could Lin Wenxi do such nasty things!


    Lin Wenxi wouldn¡¯t do this. He was just saying it because he was too angry.


    ¡°Not even a bit of you, Miss Chen.¡± Lin Wenxi smiled bitterly.


    ¡°So, I will tell you something else. Zhao Yuan, a little stupid, he has no money to treat his father, so he takes how many jobs? One, two, three, four, four jobs! Now he probably only earned less than half of the money, and he has spent a few thousand to buy aputer for you, and then... You have smashed theputer, haha! Lin Wenxi, are you sad? I guess you are very happy. Zhao Yuan is so nice to you, are you not happy? But what can you do, Lin Wenxi, I tell you, I will definitely help Zhao Yuan to figure out a way in the week, and you, well, can only get guilty. Right, don¡¯t think about anything like death and sin. You¡¯ll spoil the fun.¡± Chen Wanxin gave a silver bell-likeugh and then hang up the phone. She couldn¡¯t guess what Lin Wenxi would do, crying for Zhao Yuan to forgive? Zhao Yuan¡¯s most ufortable thing was such a weak behavior. Or, write a poem to him? Zhao Yuan wouldn¡¯t understand it. She thought that Lin Wenxi would burst into tears and couldn¡¯t help feeling very happy.


    ¡°You are crying andughing. You scared me! I will go to the hospital to see Nannanter...¡± Zhang An¡¯an couldn¡¯t help but be afraid.


    ¡°I cried?¡± asked Chen Wanxin.


    Zhang An¡¯an nodded. Chen Wanxin suddenly noticed that the corners of her eyes were already wet.


    Lin Wenxi wanted to cry, at the same time, he wanted tough. He finally resisted the tears. He wanted tough out, but his mouth was dry, and his sound was lost.


    During this time, Zhao Yuan worked so madly. Lin Wenxi looked at it in his own eyes, but he never knew why. Instead, he just thought about it like this. Today, Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin went out together. The other day, he and Chen Wanxin went shopping together. Sad, always sad. But he didn¡¯t dare to show it in front of Zhao Yuan, because he actually had no reason to say something to Zhao Yuan because he went outside with a girl.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay if I don¡¯t know, but I never asked!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay if I don¡¯t know, how could I be so angry!¡±


    Suddenly, a thunder sounded outside the window. It was the thunder of summer. The summer was finallying. Yesterday the Bramble flowers looked beautiful on campus and were all withered and fell. They were gone. No, no, no, Zhao Yuan wouldn¡¯t be that angry, no...


    When heavy rain poured, Lin Wenxi could no longer bear to stay in the dormitory. He couldn¡¯t reach Zhao Yuan with any contact and had searched everywhere that Zhao Yuan might go. There was no sign of him.


    Lin Wenxi stood downstairs in the rain, and let the rain wash him like long whips. If the time went backward for a few hours, if he affirmed his guess at the time that theputer was bought by Zhao Yuan, he would certainly not smash theputer, he would definitely ask Zhao Yuan first, and then wait for his reply. ¡°What happened to me?¡± Lin Wenxi looked up. He couldn¡¯t open his eyes because of the heavy rain.


    The clear sky under the umbre came unexpectedly. Gu Xi stood by with an umbre.


    ¡°Even Zheng Kai can¡¯t stand it anymore. He let mee down to see you. This is how I know... What happened?¡± Gu Xi was very worried.


    ¡°He won¡¯t talk to me anymore, right? I broke his heart.¡± Lin Wenxi shook his head and muttered.


    Gu Xi had already heard something from Wang Xiao in Room 216. He knew the surface but not the hidden story. For a long time, he whispered, ¡°Do you like Zhao Yuan?¡±


    Lin Wenxi nodded. ¡°I never liked a person or loved a person. But I know that I want to be with a person. Whether he isughing or frowning, I hope to apany him. With him, everything is enough. But I don¡¯t know what Zhao Yuan feels. He is very good to me, really good. But why he would rather stay with Chen Wanxin than at school, stay in the dormitory. Why would he rather tell Chen Wanxin about his father than telling me? Why is his life, his real life, I have never participated? Does he like me?¡±


    ¡°You may not know whether Zhao Yuan likes you. But I know very well that Zheng Kai has no feelings for me.¡± Gu Xi sighed. The rain was even heavier, the storm outside the umbre was big, but inside it was dripping as well. The clothes of both of them were soaked, and they kept trembling in the cold wind, but no one wanted to leave.


    ¡°But you still...¡± Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t help but gently pat on Gu Xi¡¯s head. Suddenly he felt pain in his heart.


    ¡°I like him. I saw him for the first time in junior school. I like him. No, I fell in love with him when I first saw him! He can be very fierce to me, very bad, but he has always been very honest. He fights for everything he wants. The things in the military academy, couldn¡¯t be finished telling in a few days. But Zheng Kai has always been Zheng Kai, and he is so clear. He is the only man that I¡¯ve ever seen who is straight from body to bones.¡±


    Gu Xi¡¯s eyes were clear, and his voice was trembling, but he said very proudly, ¡°He hates boys being weak. He thinks that a boy can be thin, but he must not have a fragile heart.¡± So, Gu Xi paused and said loudly, ¡°I never let him know that I love him, but...¡± He had already had tears in his eyes. The story of him and Zheng Kai wouldn¡¯t be able to be clearly exined for a while.


    ¡°But I always let him, even let myself know, I don¡¯t want to be with him!¡± Gu Xi said with the sound of a cry.


    ¡°So, a boy like him who doesn¡¯t like any male being feminization can allow you to be around him and entangled?¡± Lin Wenxi took a breath.


    ¡°Yes! But on the day he got married, I will leave.¡± Gu Xi had already shed tears.


    ¡°What are you doing this for?¡± Lin Wenxi asked with some pity.


    ¡°Do you have to love a person for the sake of anything? I will be great to apany him for a few years. I can¡¯t think or dare to think about others. It is wrong to think too much.¡± Gu Xi looked up and choked and said, ¡°Wenxi, Zheng Kai and I are definitely impossible. He can¡¯t be more straight, but I think that you and Zhao Yuan are really possible. I can see that his feelings for you should not be simple. You are also very affectionate about him too. It¡¯s just that no one has made it clear, and even no one has ever thought to make it clear, because you are both afraid!¡±


    ¡°Yeah, but what am I afraid of?¡± Lin Wenxi fell into silence.


    ¡°I am afraid to be expelled from the psychological interest ss like Zhou Nannan and Wang Zhengjuan? Or I¡¯m afraid that like Zhou Nannan, apart from the roommates and Wang Zhengjuan, no one is willing to talk to her? I¡¯m afraid that I will be beaten by Wang Zhengjuan¡¯s family like Zhou Nannan?¡± Gu Xi said in a low voice.

 Chapter 75 (Does he know?) Gu Xi Untied the Knot Gently

    <h4>Chapter 75 (Does he know?) Gu Xi Untied the Knot Gently</h4>


    What Gu Xi said was real.


    Zhou Nannan signed in the psychological interest ss together with Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman. Wang Zhengjuan naturally participated as well. In the sex psychology ss, the psychological teacher regarded the love behavior of the same gender as a psychological disorder, which made Wang Zhengjuan angry. She suddenly stood up and debated with the psychological teacher. The poor psychological teacher was speechless to argue. Wang Zhengjuan was even ignoring the entire ss and kissed Zhou Nannan. The two were delisted because of the disorderly ssroom order.


    Everyone thought that the rtionship between the two would be even closer, but Zhou Nannan and Wang Zhengjuan had a big fight. Shu Xiaoman heard and understood the reason. Zhou Nannan med Wang Zhengjuan liked to show off and had to let the whole school know about them.


    Zhou Nannan was right. Not only the whole school knew, but Wang Zhengjuan¡¯s parents knew. As early as in high school, they only heard that the rtionship between the two girls was close. They didn¡¯t take it very seriously. asionally being asked, Wang Zhengjuan was temperamental and the family no longer interfered. But a while ago, a counselor called and told them their only daughter had psychological barriers. They learned that she was in love with a girl after kept asking, and the whole school knew it. Wang Zhengjuan¡¯s parents were honorable people. They also knew that the students of the school were more kinship with many of their colleagues. This was a p in the face in front of friends and rtives.


    The family of Wang Zhengjuan sent people to the school to threaten Zhou Nannan. Zhou Nannan seemed to be weak. But at that time, she was very strong and refused. Wang Zhengjuan¡¯s family was so angry and hired people to beat Zhou Nannan near the school, causing Zhou Nannan¡¯s serious injury to the hospital. It wouldn¡¯t be a small matter to hurt a student at the ce that so close to the school. How about the reputation and order of Jifu University?


    The incident shocked the founder of the school, Lin Ziwei, and a raid investigation wasunched. Although Wang Zhengjuan¡¯s family had a strong background, after all, it could not protect them obviously. So they lost money and people. Wang Zhengjuan and her family broke, and the emissary was imprisoned. Her family was also sentenced to apologize to Zhou Nannan at the official website of the school. However, it was strange that no one of Zhou Nannan¡¯s family hade and visited her.


    Although Wang Zhengjuan had been apanying Zhou Nannan in the hospital, this catastrophe had caused many boys and girls who had the same thoughts chilling about certain things, at least not as casually as they used to.


    ¡°I went to see her, alright... she is fine.¡± Lin Wenxi was quite a bit worried.


    ¡°You are worried, your family will do things like this to Zhao Yuan. To be honest, Zhao Yuan¡¯s family, from his words and deeds, we can see that it should be a declining ordinary family. But you, not only I, even An¡¯an can¡¯t see what family you areing from. You...¡± Gu Xi couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t help telling Gu Xi all about his family.


    ¡°OMG! Who can tell it! You would smile when someone cut the line. You were never angry no matter how terrible Wang Xiang¡¯s jokes are. You even don¡¯t have any excessive behavior when Chen Wanxin is against you from time to time. You... really are a child from the powerful family. You hide it, too deep... Zhao Yuan... Does he know?¡± Gu Xi couldn¡¯t help but admire him. Facing his peers Lin Wenxi, who was a little older than himself, he felt like he was like an artificial swimming pool. He could be seen through at a nce, and Lin Wenxi was really a deep valley.


    Lin Wenxi shook his head.


    ¡°So, he must have something that is difficult to tell you, right? He is probably afraid that you¡¯ll be worried. So he didn¡¯t tell you, such as his father¡¯s illness.¡± Gu Xi whispered.


    ¡°But why Wanxin knows...¡± Lin Wenxi shook his head.


    ¡°Listen. The more people who care about each other, the more they don¡¯t want to be confessed. For example, you would rather tell me, but never want to let Zhao Yuan know, isn¡¯t that the same reason?¡± Gu Xi shined with big eyes, asked.


    ¡°Is it... it seems...¡± Lin Wenxi suddenly realized something.


    Gu Xi nodded his head heavily.


    ¡°You are lost in this.¡± Gu Xi shook his head and sighed. ¡°So simple, you seem to be a demon recently. It is not like you at all, isn¡¯t it? You used to be a shame and don¡¯t want to talk to anyone. You even, without hesitation, hurt Zhao Yuan who cares most about you. But Zhao Yuan was angry at you for a while and decided that you were not really going to break with him. So he suddenly turned around and treated you like before. The days of the New Year, ording to what you said, it¡¯s really quiet, and everyone admires it! Therefore, if you have been worried about things recently, pessimistic or sad, you don¡¯t dare to ignore people, so you are so timid and careful to get along with everyone. Even Wang Xiang said that you were very awkward recently! But you are so reluctant to get along with others, and you have been suppressed. It is no wonder that you have recently be more and more tempered. After all, it has been suppressed for too long and needs to be released.¡± Gu Xi sighed, holding Lin Wenxi¡¯s hand. The two stood side by side in the rain and wind, and suddenly felt a burst of warmth in their heart, also burst of bitter cold.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi, don¡¯t let yourself regret. You may not understand, but when you feel something for a person, no matter it¡¯s sad, happy, or painful, no matter that person is a boy or a girl, you are in love. Since you fell in love, the rest of the things are no longer important, right?¡± Gu Xi took Lin Wenxi¡¯s hand and asked, ¡°Tell me, who you thought of? It must be Zhao Yuan!¡±


    Lin Wenxi felt a little short of breath. He listened to Gu Xi said that he thought of Zhao Yuan at first, but asionally, Zhang Dong, who had no news for a long time, woulde to his mind.


    Lin Wenxi suddenly smiled and pointed his finger at the nose of Gu Xi and said, ¡°I think of you.¡±


    Gu Xi pretended to hit Lin Wenxi, while Shu Xiaoman and Zhang An¡¯an showed up not far away. At the same time, Wang Xiang rushed down from the dormitory.


    ¡°Are you a dead man? I have called me for so long!¡± Zhang An¡¯an poked his nose when she saw Wang Xiang.


    ¡°I thought at the beginning that Wenxi and Gu Xi were dating and really into it... then I found it was not the case...¡± Wang Xiang mmed his mouth and said to Lin Wenxi, ¡°Brother Yuan went out and no one knows where he went. He won¡¯t know that you are stupidly standing here in the rain!¡±


    Shu Xiaoman had already put a raincoat on Lin Wenxi, carefully covering every part of his body. The brown sugar ginger soup in the mug was to keep the cold away. Because of the recent spring tide, the temperature had suddenly dropped quickly. She left only a bowl for Zhou Nannan and put the rest in the cup. Shu Xiaoman patiently poured the soup into two portions, one for Gu Xi and one for Lin Wenxi, squinting for them to drink.


    Lin Wenxi had to go back to the wind gallery of the dormitory building under Su Xiaoman¡¯s insist. He was holding a mug in his hand, feeling the palm of the hand was very warm, and soon, handed it to Gu Xi. Seeing the two people being nice to each other, Shu Xiaoman¡¯s original worries had be a casual smile.


    And untilte at night, Zhao Yuan came back from the rain.


    Gu Xi was sitting at the bedside of Lin Wenxi and smiled. ¡°So, seriously apologize to him. Of course, it is better to find a way to help him solve his father¡¯s problem. Since youe from a powerful family, and your father has a long history with the university, you must have a solution, right?¡±


    In the beginning, Lin Wenxi just shook his head, suddenly he got an idea, and his eyes lit up. As long as he did it surprisingly, he would be able to do something without his father knowing temporarily. As for the punishment, after his father found out, those could not bepared to today¡¯s pain in the storm!


    ¡°Yes, there will be a way!¡± Lin Wenxi said coldly.

 Chapter 76 (You Will Be in Real Trouble) Wenxi Abused His Power

    <h4>Chapter 76 (You Will Be in Real Trouble) Wenxi Abused His Power</h4>


    Lin Wenxi wrapped himself in his quilt, and Zhao Yuan was drenched with rain. Upon seeing that, Gu Xi decided to leave them alone. He covered his mouth to avoid making a sound and got the quilt at the end of Zheng Kai¡¯s bed tucked under Zheng Kai¡¯s feet. After that, he left smilingly. Zheng Kai was snoring and had no idea what was going on.


    Wang Xiangy in his bed with his back toward Lin Wenxi. He breathed evenly and listened attentively.


    When Lin Wenxi was about to get up, Zhao Yuan stepped forward to stop him by saying, ¡°I know that this is not your fault. I don¡¯t me you.¡± Drops of water fell from his body to the ground.


    ¡°I¡¯ve filled all the 6 thermos bottles with hot water. Don¡¯t go to the bathhouse. Go to take a warm shower in the bathroom,¡± said Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°I¡¯m not cold,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°I don¡¯t care if you¡¯re cold or not. Go to take a warm shower. This is an order.¡± Lin Wenxi raised his voice a little. As he shrunk inside a dark corner behind his deskmp, his facial expression was indiscernible.


    Shortly afterwards, Zhao Yuan finished his shower and ran out of the bathroom while wearing only his thermal underwear suit. He said to Lin Wenxi, ¡°I¡¯ll give you a piece of good news soon!¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want your good news. I only want you to be good,¡± Lin Wenxi said softly.


    ¡°Wenxi...¡± Zhao Yuan held Lin Wenxi¡¯s bed railing with one hand and ced the other hand on Lin Wenxi¡¯s desk. He felt an urge to get into Lin Wenxi¡¯s bed, but upon seeing the snorting Zheng Kai and the silent Wang Xiang, he clenched his fist and suppressed this urge.


    ¡°There¡¯s half a cup of ginger tea in that thermos cup. Drink it,¡± said Lin Wenxi. Zhao Yuan immediately drank up the tea. Lin Wenxi had prepared the tea half an hour ago and had heated it up for three times by now.


    ¡°Your toothbrush is so worn. I¡¯ve bought you a new one. Your gums bleed recently. I¡¯ve reced your toothpaste with another one rmended by Xiaoman. Go brush your teeth now.¡± This was the third order given by Lin Wenxi. Zhao Yuan obediently followed it and went to brush his teeth.¡±


    ¡°Your quilt is too thin, I¡¯veid a nket on top of your quilt. Go to sleep now,¡± Lin Wenxi said in the dark corner. Zhao Yuan crawled into Lin Wenxi¡¯s bed quietly and touched his cheeks. He asked, ¡°When did you start crying behind my back?¡±


    Zhao Yuan had found out that Lin Wenxi sounded somewhat hoarse long ago. Back then, he had thought that Lin Wenxi probably caught a cold. When Lin Wenxi shrank into the corner, he realized that the change in his voice was not caused by a cold.


    Upon hearing Zhao Yuan¡¯s question, Lin Wenxi just remained silent, but he could not stop tears from welling up in his eyes. He began to sob and was unable to utter a word.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± The two of them blurted out at the same time.


    ¡°I shouldn¡¯t hide this thing from you,¡± said Zhao Yuan. ¡°I just don¡¯t want you to feel worried about me. After all, you¡¯re not obliged to share this burden with me.¡±


    ¡°You didn¡¯t tell me because I¡¯m just your roommate. Am I right? You just could not find a reason to tell me about it, right?¡± Lin Wenxi asked while weeping. ¡°Zhao Yuan, I¡¯ll tell you everything about me very soon. We¡¯ll sit down and talk it through. We¡¯ll take this talk seriously, okay?¡±


    ¡°Okay, okay, I¡¯ll do whatever you want,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Climb up to your bed and sleep now,¡± Lin Wenxi gently pushed Zhao Yuan and said. Suddenly, Zhao Yuan took him and his quilt into his arms.


    ¡°No, please. We¡¯re in the dorm now,¡± Lin Wenxi said anxiously.


    ¡°Uhm, I feel exceptionally cold tonight.¡± Zhao Yuan tightly hugged Lin Wenxi from the back and said, ¡°Sleep now, dear.¡±


    ¡°You can¡¯t mess around,¡± said Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°I¡¯ll behave myself, But if you continue to nag me, I can¡¯t promise you that my little brother won¡¯t mess around,¡± Zhao Yuan whispered beside Lin Wenxi¡¯s ear.


    Lin Wenxi was stunned and touched Zhao Yuan¡¯s little brother with his hand. Upon finding out that he was somehow aroused, he felt somewhat irritated and sneered, ¡°You should be castrated!¡±


    ¡°If so, who¡¯ll make you happy for the rest of your life?¡± Zhao Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Piss off...¡± Lin Wenxi flushed red with embarrassment and said.


    ¡°Cute Wenxi, time to sleep...¡± Zhao Yuan whispered. Lin Wenxi felt so warm and rxed. He thought to himself, ¡°Thank you, Zhao Yuan. Thank you for giving me the courage.¡± Soon enough, he fell asleep.


    In the meantime, Wang Xiang was gnashing his teeth anxiously while lying in his bed. He did not know whether tough out or to remain silent. He was also not sure whether he should tell this thing to Zhang An¡¯an. He thought, ¡°Maybe this is just a joke between them. It¡¯s not necessarily a fact now. Once Iugh and tell this thing to the others, it¡¯ll be considered a fact and the others will judge their rtionship.


    ¡°Is it right to judge them? Well, I really don¡¯t know. s, why did I eavesdrop on their conversation?¡± After that, Wang Xiang thought about the rtionship between Zhou Nannan and Wang Zhengjuan and that between Gu Xi and Zheng Kai. He also thought of Zhang An¡¯an and how he had been carried away by his feelings on the first day at this university.


    The next day, Zhao Yuan left early in the morning again. The other three boys had already gotten used to his absence. When they woke up, they washed up and waited for Gu Xi to deliver some breakfast food to them. After that, they went to attend lectures together. It seemed to be another normal day.


    Nevertheless, for Lin Wenxi, this day was not normal.


    He went to the dean¡¯s office and asked the dean to solicit contributions from the public to help Zhao Yuan.


    The dean expressed sympathy but asked Lin Wenxi to provide him with many documents, such as proof of family ie of Zhao Yuan, his father Zhao Ming¡¯s medical records and some documents signed by the administrative departments of the university. It would take the administrative departments at least a week to review all the documents. More importantly, Zhao Yuan would never want to provide such documents to solicit contributions.


    ¡°Just sign the documents for me now. I¡¯ll bring them to the president of the university for you. I¡¯ll find a way to get them signed!¡± Lin Wenxi said coldly.


    The dean was shocked upon hearing Lin Wenxi¡¯s request since this boy asked him to organize a fundraising today.


    Although he knew that Lin Wenxi was Lin Ziwei¡¯s son, he could not allow him to behave so unreasonably.


    When he was about to ask Lin Wenxi to get out of his office, Lin Wenxi said while banging his desk. ¡°You should know who I am!¡±


    ¡°Even if I can¡¯t get the documents, I¡¯ll organize a fundraising today. If someonees out to stop me, you¡¯ll be in real trouble!¡± With these words, Lin Wenxi stormed out of the dean¡¯s office and mmed the door behind him. He thought grumpily, ¡°This dean is so stubborn. It¡¯s an urgent thing. Why does he have to stick to the rules?¡±


    The dean touched his bald head covered with cold sweat and thought somewhat angrily, ¡°Is there anything wrong about this boy? Maybe I should contact his father Lin Ziwei now.¡± On second thought, he decided to call the president of the university first. Unfortunately, no one received his call. After some thought, he smiled and thought, ¡°I can let him organize the fundraising first and submit the required documents afterwards. After all, rules are rules.¡±


    Lin Wenxi regretted shouting at the dean very much, as he knew that his father would know about this thing sooner orter. He wanted to find a chance to make an apology to his father, but when he called his family, his mother told him that his father had gone to some vige on business and could not answer a call since his cellphone had no signal in the countryside. Upon knowing that, Lin Wenxi felt much relieved.


    He quickly brought Zheng Kai, Wang Xiang, Gu Xi, Shu Xiaoman and Zhang An¡¯an together and told them what had happened to Zhao Yuan. At this moment, they finally understood why Zhao Yuan did so many part-time jobs this semester. Shu Xiaoman and Zhang An¡¯an felt somewhat embarrassed and their face turned red. Two days ago, when they had run into Zhao Yuan in the canteen, they had teased him, ¡°Take care, Zhao Yuan. You¡¯ve pined away since the beginning of this semester. Is it too hard for you to satisfy a boy and a girl at the same time?¡± Back then, Zhao Yuan had just smiled at them and hurriedly walked away.


    Zheng Kai made a donation box by himself, and Wang Xiang wrote down what happened to Zhao Yuan and printed it out. Shu Xiaoman, Zhang An¡¯an and Gu Xi went to buy some goddess of mercy pendants as thank-you gifts for the donors.


    Upon seeing the thank-you gifts, Wang Xiang was surprised and said, ¡°These gifts will make us look like those monks who beg for alms by giving you some Buddha statues...¡±


    ¡°As long as this method works, we don¡¯t mind it!¡± Zheng Kai red at him and said.


    ¡°Wait...¡± Zhang An¡¯an pointed at the notices that Wang Xiang had printed out and continued, ¡°Zhao Yuan even did not want to tell this thing to Wenxi before. Do you think that he wants everyone else to know about this thing?¡±


    Lin Wenxi agreed with Zhang An¡¯an and felt worried. After some thought, he muttered to himself, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, grandpa.¡± He told Wang Xiang, ¡°Rewrite the story. Tell everyone that it¡¯s my grandfather that is lying in a hospital now.¡±


    Zhang An¡¯an was shocked and asked, ¡°Are you serious? Is your grandfather still alive?¡±


    Lin Wenxi shook his head and replied, ¡°No, he¡¯s dead. He¡¯ll forgive me.¡±


    It took the boys and girls a while to calm down. Wang Xiang thought for a moment and asked, ¡°What if a rich person wants to donate arge sum of money and our donation box is too small for the money?¡±


    Lin Wenxi took out another sheet of paper, rapidly wrote down Zhao Yuan¡¯s bank ount number and stuck it to the donation box.


    Wang Xiang was impressed and said, ¡°I guess that you even know the size of Zhao Yuan¡¯s underwear.¡±


    Lin Wenxi felt anxious now. Upon hearing Wang Xiang¡¯s words, he blurted out, ¡°Anyhow, it¡¯s muchrger than yours!¡±


    Everyone burst intoughter upon hearing that. Gu Xi put an arm around Lin Wenxi¡¯s shoulders and said, ¡°Wenxi, I know that you probably said that without thinking too much... But... It¡¯s really hurtful.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t imagine how you guys live together in the same dorm...¡± Zhang An¡¯an got stuck for words. Lin Wenxi flushed with embarrassment. Soon enough, they began to visit dorms of theputer science department to solicit donations.

 Chapter 77 (My Friends Are So Talented) To Solicit Donations in Different Ways

    <h4>Chapter 77 (My Friends Are So Talented) To Solicit Donations in Different Ways</h4>


    ¡°Fundraising? Are you saying that Lin Wenxi organized a fundraising?¡± Chen Wanxin asked the girls who lived next door when she heard them talking about the fundraising. She was irritated in the beginning. On second thought, she felt pleased.


    When she talked with Luo Yang on the phone, she asked, ¡°What about Zhao Yuan¡¯s house in his hometown. Has he sold it?¡±


    ¡°Not yet, but we¡¯ve introduced a buyer to him. The buyer thinks that the house is alright. I guess it¡¯ll be sold very soon,¡± Luo Yang said in a matter-of-fact tone.


    ¡°No, ask the buyer not to buy it. There¡¯s another way to raise funds for Zhao Yuan,¡± Chen Wanxin said with a deep voice.


    Luo Yang was surprised and asked curiously, ¡°Are you nning to borrow money from Boss Mo?¡±


    ¡°No, I won¡¯t ask that servile man for help again!¡± Chen Wanxin said grumpily. ¡°He sent someone to buy all the jewelry that I sold and returned it to my mother. My mother flew at me in a temper and called me stupid for selling my jewelry at such low prices.¡±


    ¡°Well, at least, Boss Mo didn¡¯t tell your father anything about it,¡± Luo Yang could not help but mumble.


    ¡°Have you ever informed against me to Mo Qian?¡± asked Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°Boss Mo cares about only important things and leaves all the trifles to me. Sometimes, he¡¯ll ask me about you, but I only told him the things that you allow me to tell him,¡± Luo Yang said cautiously.


    After a moment, Luo Yang added, ¡°But, how could Lin Wenxi organize a fundraising within such a short period of time? He probably stillcks some documents. How about we...¡±


    Chen Wanxin hurriedly interrupted, ¡°No, don¡¯t disturb him. Let him do what he wants. His roommates and the two roommates of mine are not stupid. I can¡¯t turn all of them against me. Besides, if they can raise enough money, it¡¯ll be a good thing.¡± Chen Wanxin could not help but smile.


    ¡°If so, he¡¯ll take all the credits...¡± said Luo Yang.


    ¡°How can I let such a thing happen?¡± Chen Wanxin smiled slightly and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to solicit donations in the girls¡¯ dormitory building. What do you think?¡±


    ¡°Well, you have to share the credits not the me. Let Lin Wenxi take the me if the university disapproves of this fundraising.¡± After that, Luo Yang lowered his voice and continued to talk. Chen Wanxin could not help but chuckle. After talking with Luo Yang on the phone, she went straight to the boys¡¯ dormitory building.


    When she came to the boys¡¯ dormitory building, the fundraising effort was in full swing. Upon seeing Chen Wanxin, the most attractive girl in the university, the boys flocked to the donation box to donate money and no one had patience with Wang Xiang who had been exining the reasons for this fundraising anymore.


    Despite that, Chen Wanxin was still dissatisfied with the growth rate of the fund. She thought, ¡°Zhao Yuan hase back to sell his house in his hometown. If he fails to make a deal with this buyer, he¡¯ll probably find another buyer within a short period of time through his connections in his hometown. Once he sells the house, he and his father will have to rent a house in the countryside after his father leaves the hospital. I can¡¯t let such a thing happen. My parents did keep a low profile recently. How could they fail to get it done?¡±


    Chen Wanxin brought everyone together and told them her ns. Lin Wenxi was impressed by her ideas and looked pleased.


    The next day at noon, they remitted all the donations they had collected to Zhao Yuan. Apart from the money they remitted, some donations were directly remitted to him by donors such as Wang Zhengjuan. When they found out that Zhao Yuan had enough money to pay his father¡¯s remaining medical expenses, they all felt relieved.


    Not long after that, they were collectively invited into the dean¡¯s office.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi, you... You kept asking everyone, especially administrators at all levels and types of the university, for donations... Well, I¡¯m in sympathy with you, as you, you¡¯re the champion of the poem writing contest...¡± The dean got stuck for words. Lin Wenxi had asked not only the students for donations. He had asked the dean, every department head, and even the vice president of the university to donate at least 2,000 yuan. If anyone of them disagreed, he would lose his temper or threaten them by saying, ¡°If you don¡¯t donate the money, I¡¯ll cut my wrist or jump off a building to kill myself.¡± As all the administrators of the university knew that he was Lin Ziwei¡¯s son, they were afraid of irritating him. As such, they all donated money ording to his will. As the dean was not allowed to reveal Lin Wenxi¡¯s identity, he really did not know what to say at this moment.


    Lin Wenxi smiled slightly and said, ¡°Thank you for your donations. It¡¯s really kind of you to help me out!¡±


    ¡°Do you know how your friends solicit donations for you?¡± The dean asked while ring at him.


    ¡°This Wang Xiang sold his autographs in front of the girls¡¯ dormitory building, and each of his autographs cost 100 yuan. He also sold your essays and poems, and they were over 1,000 yuan each. Oh Gee! You¡¯re a good writer, and he does have good handwriting. But how could you overcharge everyone like that? This is robbing. Sigh, why do I have students like you? And Gu Xi, you offered boxed meals, which didn¡¯t contain much meat, at a unit price of over 200 yuan! Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman, you girls really impressed me. You didn¡¯t overcharge anyone, but look at what you did. One of you went to sing in front of the boys¡¯ dormitory buildings to collect money, and the other went to prescribe medication to treat body weakness for the boys. What body weakness? You bring shame to Jifu University!¡± The dean shouted at them in a fit of anger and threw a piece of newspaper to them. ¡°Look at the newspaper! Jifu University is in the newspaper, as we gotined by another four universities!¡±


    When Zheng Kai read the newspaper, he could not help but chuckle. He thought, ¡°Wow, I never knew that my friends are so talented. Chen Wanxin told us that we should ask for more donations by showing off our talents. It was she that advised Wang Xiang to sell his calligraphy works. As we were busy soliciting donations, we never told one another how we collected the money when we met.¡±


    Upon seeing that, the dean said, ¡°Are youughing, Zheng Kai? You¡¯ll go to the United States as an exchange student next year! How could you collect donations by threatening the other students? This is racketeering. You even rented yourself out as a temporary boyfriend! What did you do? I really...¡± The dean got stuck for words and slumped down on his sofa. A momentter, he pointed a trembling finger at Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°And you... Wanxin. I thought that a youngdy like you would at least be more reasonable. But you made all the girls on your dancing team wear miniskirts and leather pants, dragged them to different universities and made them dance in front of the students¡¯ dormitory buildings. You even used A Song to Tough Guys as your dance music. I really don¡¯t understand why you pick this song. Do we really live on the same?¡± The dean nearly cried out.


    ¡°If you like our dance, I can dance for you now. An¡¯an, music! Wang Xiang and Zheng Kai, where¡¯s the apuse?¡± Chen Wanxin smiled and got ready to dance.


    The dean was shocked. He hurriedly waved his hands as he said, ¡°No, please. I just want to know whether Zhao Yuan really meets trouble.¡±


    The boys and girls nodded together.


    ¡°If so, why did you tell everyone that Wenxi¡¯s grandfather is ill?¡± The dean said while covering his face with his hands to stop him from crying.


    Lin Wenxi remained silent.


    ¡°You, you go out first... As you didn¡¯t vite any regtion of the university, I can¡¯t punish you without pre-approval from the university administration. You can leave now, except for Lin Wenxi.¡±


    ¡°Well, tell me, Wenxi. How should we write about this thing in the certificate?¡± The dean spread his palms and asked.


    Lin Wenxi was stunned and sighed inwardly, ¡°Well, this is my bad. I lied to everyone in the beginning. Without a certificate to prove what I¡¯ve said is true, the other students will think that this fundraising is a fraud. Once some student calls the police, we¡¯ll be in real trouble. Gu Xi and I will probably not get arrested as we are minors under the age of 18. But Zheng Kai and the others will probably get imprisoned.¡±


    ¡°I guess that we¡¯ll have to make do,¡± said Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°To make do? What do you mean? Are you suggesting that you don¡¯t need a certificate now?¡± The dean asked with a somber face.


    ¡°No. I mean that I want a certificate to prove that my grandfather is ill. As to the other things, you can leave them to me,¡± said Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Are you asking me to let you be held ountable? Are you able to do that? All of us know that your father is strict with you. Did you organize this fundraising with permission of your father?¡± asked the dean.


    Lin Wenxi shook his head.


    The dean felt helpless and really wanted to cry now.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t issue this certificate, we¡¯ll be in trouble. But if you issue it, you¡¯ll be alright. So will my friends. I¡¯ll bear the consequences by myself!¡± Lin Wenxi solemnly said.


    ¡°Are you sure?¡± asked the dean.


    ¡°Do you think that my father will kill me because of this thing?¡± asked Lin Wenxi.


    The dean shook his head, which was covered with cold sweat, and thought to himself, ¡°I¡¯ve never expected this boy to be so brave and determined. Since being recruited by this university, he has been taken care of by his military instructors and university counselor. I used to think that he¡¯s a quiet and over-protected boy. But suddenly, he took the risk of being punished by his father and organized this fundraising to help his friend. He even prepares to bears all the consequences alone. He does have a strong sense of justice just like his father.¡±


    Upon seeing the dean seal the certificate with a trembling hand, Lin Wenxi said with a nk expression. ¡°Let¡¯s go to find the president together.¡±


    He continued to tell the dean his n, ¡°As you¡¯re more familiar with the president and better at dealing with him, I¡¯ll let you talk to him. I¡¯ll just tell him that I¡¯m willing to bear all the consequences. Let¡¯s urge him to seal the certificate and upload it to the official website of the university as soon as possible. When the fuss dies down, we¡¯ll find a way to remove the certificate from the website.¡±


    The dean agreed and led Lin Wenxi to the office of the president.


    It did not take them much effort to persuade the president. After all, Lin Wenxi had promised to take full responsibility. Not long after that, the certificate was posted on the official website of the university. Upon seeing it, the students all praised Lin Wenxi for being a filial grandson.


    Zhao Yuan was surprised upon receiving the money. At first, he thought that this money was from Chen Wanxin. When he called her, he knew that the money was raised by Lin Wenxi on the excuse of helping his sick grandfather. Zhao Yuan felt worried about him and hurriedly went back to the university. When he saw the certificate on the website, he felt puzzled and wondered, ¡°How did Wenxi manage to do that?¡± He could not help but feel curious about Lin Wenxi¡¯s background.


    Zhao Yuan wanted to express his gratitude for Lin Wenxi with actions instead of words. After thanking his friends through text messages, he immediately went to the hospital to pay his father¡¯s remaining medical expenses. Upon hearing about this fundraising, his father Zhao Ming was surprised.


    He anxiously urged Zhao Yuan. ¡°Hurry up! Go back to your university to help Lin Wenxi!¡±


    Zhao Yuan also felt somewhat uncertain whether Lin Wenxi would be alright. In the meantime, he was determined to dig out the truth.

 Chapter 78 (He Is the Savior of Our Family) Zhao Yuan and His Father Felt Grateful

    <h4>Chapter 78 (He Is the Savior of Our Family) Zhao Yuan and His Father Felt Grateful</h4>


    ¡°Do you know who Lin Wenxi is?¡± Zhao Ming asked with difficulty. He was in thest stage of treatment now and felt really exhausted. His damaged kidney tissue had gotten repaired, and his right leg had been amputated.


    Upon hearing his father¡¯s question, Zhao Yuan shook his head.


    ¡°Of course, you don¡¯t know. He won¡¯t tell you. Years ago, I always thought that someone framed me but failed to find any evidence. When I was arrested, I was told that I would be imprisoned for at least several years. At that time, I heard about an upstanding official who was surnamed Lin. He was the head of the county¡¯s displine inspectionmission at that time. I wrote him dozens of letters, asking for his help. He was determined to redress this injustice but failed to find any evidence either. He discovered that some of the documents that I submitted to get the building permit were missing for no reason. Fortunately, he proved that I was never engaged in illegal fund-raising activities. As I didn¡¯t get the building permit in time, I had some financial problem and was deeply in debt. One yearter, when I was on trial, the court thought that I had the ability to repay debts and decided to release me.¡± Zhao Ming said with a sigh.


    ¡°Are you suggesting that the official surnamed Lin is Lin Wenxi¡¯s father?¡± Zhao Yuan asked in a low voice.


    Zhao Ming nodded firmly.


    ¡°If it had not been for him, I would¡¯ve died in jail! He¡¯s the savior of our family. You must take good care of his son!¡± said Zhao Ming.


    ¡°Wenxi has never told me anything about his family...¡± Zhao Yuan said while shaking his head. In the meantime, he sighed inwardly, ¡°Well, why does he have to tell me these things? It¡¯s my bad. I fail to win his trust. That¡¯s why he hides these secrets from me.¡±


    ¡°His father nned to send him to another university before. As he¡¯s the founder of Jifu University, he doesn¡¯t want others to use him of abusing his power. To his surprise, the admission office of Jifu University recruited his son ahead of schedule without knowing his identity, since his son was exceptionally talented and well-versed in literature and history. As his son was determined to go to Jifu University, he had no choice but to agree,¡± said Zhao Ming.


    ¡°How do you know this, dad?¡± asked Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°You seldom read newspapers before. Lin Wenxi¡¯s father seemed to have an imcable enemy who would spread rumors about his son and his wife to cken his name from time to time. The government of Yangzi County once tried to stop the rumors but failed to find the rumor maker. As such, it had no choice but to publish articles in newspapers to rify the rumors. However, it could not do this too often in case that the people would think that this official protested his innocence too much. After that, he was transferred to the education bureau. He made a great contribution to Yangzi County by managing the several high schools very well. As such, he still works in the government now. Otherwise, he would¡¯ve been taken down by his enemy a long time ago. Back then, you were still a little boy and didn¡¯t care much about such rumors. Of course, you don¡¯t know Lin Wenxi¡¯s identity.¡±


    Zhao Ming continued worriedly, ¡°After knowing what Lin Wenxi has done in the university, his father¡¯s enemy will probably make a fuss about this thing again. You¡¯d better go back to your university as soon as possible. Once he needs you to prove that he¡¯s innocent, you must speak for him and don¡¯t let him take any me. You should protect him in the university. I think no one dares to physically harm him, but you¡¯d better stop him from doing anything like this again. After graduating from the university, he can go to another city to enjoy a peaceful life.¡±


    Zhao Yuan felt increasingly nervous upon hearing that. He hurriedly rushed back to Jifu University.


    Zhao Yuan gave his friends a treat and got the list of the donors¡¯ names. After that, he went back to his dorm and chatted with his roommates for some time before going to find Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Is everything okay with you?¡± Zhao Yuan seriously asked Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi shook his head, as he had no idea how his father would react upon knowing what he had done in the university. Lin Ziwei was still in the countryside and could not receive calls.


    ¡°From now on, you have to tell me everything when you¡¯re in trouble. Did I make myself clear?¡± Zhao Yuan said very seriously.


    ¡°Why?¡± Lin Wenxi shrugged. In the meantime, he thought, ¡°My father will at most beat me up. When I can¡¯t bear the pain, I¡¯ll pretend to pass out. My mother will feel worried about me upon seeing that and fall out with him. My father will alwayspromise with her.¡±


    ¡°Just promise me!¡± Zhao Yuan said anxiously.


    Lin Wenxi smiled and nodded.


    Since that day, Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi had stayed together nearly all the time. Upon seeing that, their ssmates could not help but wonder, ¡°Is Lin Wenxi terminally ill? Why does Zhao Yuan stay together with him all the time?¡±


    Every day in the morning, Zhao Yuan would deliver breakfast food to Lin Wenxi and watch him eating breakfast. After that, they would attend lectures together. They would even go to the toilet together during breaks. Upon seeing them leave together for the washroom, Zheng Kai could not help but point at them with a trembling finger as he asked, ¡°Do they get physiologically synchronized?¡± Wang Xiang smiled bleakly and replied, ¡°You know what. Zhao Yuan even refuses to y basketball together with us if Wenxi refuses to join us. What can we do?¡±


    ¡°Oh, you don¡¯t say. Zhao Yuan even refuses to let me spend some time together with Wenxi now. He just wants to keep Wenxi for himself,¡± Gu Xi sighed slightly.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan seldom talks to Wanxin now. When he meets us, he¡¯ll just smile at us,¡± Shu Xiaoman said bashfully.


    After soliciting donations together, girls from Dorm No. 419 and boys from Dorm No. 216 often hung out together.


    ¡°Well, I don¡¯t mind it. After all, it was not I that made the most contribution for the fundraising,¡± Chen Wanxin smiled slightly and said.


    ¡°No, it was you that made the most contribution,¡± Shu Xiaoman said immediately. Suddenly, she felt that someone pulled a corner of her coat. Zhang Anan looked somewhat worried.


    ¡°To be fair, it was Wanxin that inspired us to ask for more donations. She did make the most contribution.¡± Zheng Kai said after some thought.


    ¡°How can forget who organized this thing?¡± said Gu Xi.


    ¡°Well, Maybe Zhao Yuan doesn¡¯t treat us differently ording to our contributions. He just wants to stay together with Wenxi.¡± Shu Xiaoman suddenly came to a conclusion. She felt that Zhang An¡¯an pulled her coat again and did not know what to say.


    Chen Wanxin did not seem to pay much attention to Shu Xiaoman¡¯s words. She asked Zheng Kai curiously, ¡°By the way, do you guys really think that it¡¯s alright for them to stay together all the time?¡±


    Wang Xiang said indifferently, ¡°We¡¯re not against it or for it.¡±


    Zheng Kai turned his face away as he said, ¡°I don¡¯t like to gossip about others behind their backs.¡± Chen Wanxin seemed somewhat irritated and said to Gu Xi with a smile, ¡°Zheng Kai really adores you. Yesterday, I told him that this jade goddess of mercy pendant ne looked really nice, and today, he wears it.¡±


    Upon hearing that, Zheng Kai left without saying a word. Gu Xi flushed with embarrassment but did not chase after Zheng Kai. Instead, he went to the garden alone.


    ¡°Chen Wanxin, you¡¯ve gone too far!¡± Shu Xiaoman said loudly. ¡°Do you want to turn everyone against you?¡±


    ¡°Yes. Whoever speaks for Lin Wenxi is my enemy. If you stay neutral and mind your own business, I¡¯ll treat you as my sister. Well, that¡¯s it. I have to go to see Nannan. She¡¯s about to leave the hospital.¡± Chen Wanxin smiled and walked away.

 Chapter 79 (You Don’t Have to Be So Smart) An’an Saw through Everything

    <h4>Chapter 79 (You Don¡¯t Have to Be So Smart) An¡¯an Saw through Everything</h4>


    ¡°An¡¯an, why did you remain silent all this while?¡± Shu Xiaoman asked eagerly.


    ¡°Xiaoman, don¡¯t be so hasty.¡± Zhang An¡¯an sighed. ¡°Don¡¯t you know what Wanxin is capable of? Gu Xi told me that she hired some people to create difficulties for Lin Wenxi when he was doing his part-time job and then managed to upload photos of her and Zhao Yuan to theputer that Zhao Yuan bought for Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxi smashed theputer to pieces upon seeing the photos. Do you think you¡¯re able to outwit her?¡±


    ¡°What? How did you know these things I never heard of? It looks like Wenxi is more intimate with you...¡± Shu Xiaoman was surprised and somewhat annoyed.


    ¡°You care about Wenxi. So do I. He¡¯s also my friend. But you just focus on acting against Wanxin. By doing so, you can¡¯t help Wenxi and will probably get yourself into trouble. I seldom talk to Wenxi. Instead, I often talk with his best friend Gu Xi and he¡¯ll tell me something about Wenxi. Besides, I always remain neutral. As such, Wanxin won¡¯t pay much attention to me or consider me her enemy,¡± Zhang Anan said gently.


    ¡°Are you suggesting that Wanxin will consider me her enemy?¡± Shu Xiaoman couldn¡¯t help but feel surprised. ¡°But she didn¡¯t do anything to me except sending her thugs to ruin my things.¡±


    ¡°As she has just said, she only considers those who help Wenxi as her enemies. When Gu Xi spoke for Wenxi just now, Wanxin immediately said that thing to break his heart. He must be crying alone in the garden now. You said that she never did anything to you. Do you forget how she made you tell that thing to Lin Wenxi? After you told him about the bet between her and Zhao Yuan, he began to estrange himself from you. No matter how hard you try to help him, he seldom talks to you now. He doesn¡¯t hate you. He¡¯s just afraid of being hurt by you again. By making you divulge the secret to Wenxi, Wanxin got close to Zhao Yuan again and hurt both you and Wenxi without doing anything by herself. What a meticulous n! Don¡¯t you feel afraid of such a scheming girl?¡± Zhang An¡¯an said seriously.


    Shu Xiaoman could not help but gasp. ¡°I... I want to move to another dorm.¡±


    ¡°Really? If you move to another dorm, can you stop yourself from helping Wenxi from time to time? As now you live in the same dorm room, she won¡¯t go too far. Once you live in another dorm, who knows what will happen in the future?¡± Zhang An¡¯an frowned slightly and said.


    After a moment, she added, ¡°If you can stop yourself from caring about Wenxi and acting against Chen Wanxin, she won¡¯t do anything to do when you move to another dorm. Perhaps she¡¯ll even try to rope you in!¡±


    ¡°What? That¡¯s impossible! She hates my guts!¡± Shu Xiaoman said indignantly.


    ¡°She doesn¡¯t hate you. You don¡¯t deserve that. Neither of us does. She hates only Wenxi and all those people who help Wenxi to act against her. Think about Zhou Nannan. She¡¯s also a friend of Wenxi but she always stays neutral. ¡°Among the four girls in our dorm, Nannan is the most innocent and pure-minded girl. She acts like a child, and everyone likes her. To be frank, Chen Wanxin is not a mean girl. She treats Zhou Nannan sincerely and always gives her good snacks and nice clothes. When Zhou Nannan got beaten up, she turned to Chen Wanxin first instead of Wang Zhengjuan. Now both Wang Zhengjuan and Zhou Nannan are grateful for her,¡± Zhang An¡¯an said and then asked Shu Xiaoman to sit down together with her in a quiet corner. She drank some water and then looked at Shu Xiaoman while sighing inwardly, ¡°Sigh, this girl is really not smart enough.¡±


    Shu Xiaoman lowered her head and asked, ¡°What if Wanxin knows that you...¡±


    ¡°She treats me friendly and at the same time guards against me, since she knows that I¡¯m able to guess her thoughts. She treats Wang Xiang very well too. She sent him a signed jersey and a pair of brand sport shoes on his birthday. Wang Xiang readily epted all the gifts. I dare not tell him any secret now, in case that he¡¯ll divulge it when he get drunk,¡± Zhang Anan said dejectedly.


    ¡°Yes, you¡¯re right. All the girls in our ss like Wanxin. She often gives us a treat and always behaves modestly in the dancing team. She gives us chances to lead a dance, pick clothes or even gain more credits. She neverpetes with us. She treats all the boys nicely too no matter whether they¡¯re her suitors. Once anyone needs her help, she¡¯ll never refuse. In this sense, she¡¯s somewhat like Zhao Yuan,¡± said Shu Xiaoman.


    ¡°You¡¯re quite observant now. As to Zhao Yuan, he¡¯s popr among the boys since he often teaches those martial arts for free and help them mend things. His family is poor, so he can¡¯t receive any financial aid from his family. Gu Xi also takes pity on him for that. He¡¯s such a capable young man and exceptionally good at ying basketball. All the boys in our ss think highly of him. As they¡¯ll usually ept his advice, he has helped the university counselor solve many problems. Because of this, he has been promoted from the head of the sports department to the vice president of the student union. He has organized many different activities and made great achievements in soliciting investment funds for the university. By doing so, he must¡¯ve umted many business connections. His people skills are as good as those of Wanxin. The only difference is that Zhao Yuan has achieved this all by himself. He¡¯s not as rich and powerful as Wanxin. He can rely on only his ability and... appearance. When I first met him, I thought that he was too masculine. I used to think that his future partner had to be very submissive, but to my surprise, Lin Wenxi is not such a person. I¡¯ve been proved wrong this time,¡± said Zhang An¡¯an.


    ¡°So do you... like Zhao Yuan?¡± asked Shu Xiaoman.


    Zhang An¡¯an slowly shook her head and said, ¡°Girls who like him probably owed him something during their previous lives. He often coaxes those girls into helping him by smiling at them or hugging them. After he gets what he wants, he¡¯ll get rid of them quickly without giving them any chance to pester him. What a jerk! I can¡¯t like such a guy. Lin Wenxi really did a good thing by subduing this jerk!¡±


    ¡°Haha, how did Wenxi manage to do that?¡± Shu Xiaoman asked gleefully.


    ¡°If you want to know more about it, you can talk with Gu Xi. He enjoys talking about the things between Zheng Kai and himself and those between Zhao Yuan and Wenxi. Wenxi is usually quiet, but he¡¯s actually well-versed in debating. Zhao Yuan seldom outwitted him.¡± Zhang An¡¯an said with a smile.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan seems to get much closer to Wanxin this year. Even Wenxi feels jealous,¡± said Shu Xiaoman.


    ¡°Yes. Before the New Year vacation, they treated each other like strangers, but after the vacation, his attitude suddenly changed. Considering what happened to his father, I guess there are many things that we don¡¯t know,¡± Zhang An¡¯an said while smiling faintly. ¡°Do you remember the senior military instructor named Luo Yang? Wanxin often contacts him and asks him to do all kinds of things for her. Her family must be very powerful. I guess that Lin Wenxi¡¯s family is powerful too, although he never talks about it.¡± Zhang An¡¯an said.


    Shu Xiaoman was intrigued and asked, ¡°What makes you think so?¡±


    ¡°Look at the certificate posted on the school¡¯s official website. It¡¯s written ording to the story that Wenxi made up. What does that mean? Do you really think that Wenxi is able to persuade the dean and the president of the university to issue such a certificate?¡± Zhang An¡¯an said with a meaningful smile.


    ¡°So how did he do that?¡±


    ¡°He managed to do that with the help of his Identity! Sometimes, your identity is even more important than your ability,¡± said Zhang An¡¯an.


    ¡°What¡¯s your background? You¡¯re such a smart girl. You can¡¯t be a child of an ordinary family,¡± Shu Xiaoman asked with a smile.


    ¡°My background? You¡¯ll know about it in the future.¡± Zhang An¡¯an said mysteriously.


    ¡°What should I do in the future?¡± asked Shu Xiaoman.


    ¡°Firstly, you have to control your temper and don¡¯t deliberately act against Chen Wanxin again. That being said, you can still asionally express some dissatisfaction with her in a proper way. Secondly, don¡¯t be impulsive and think well before you act. What Wanxin did recently was not a big deal. Remember what she said over the phone that day. She¡¯s clearly up to something. Once we notice that she¡¯s going to do something to Wenxi, we have to stop it or ask someone else for help without exposing ourselves,¡± said Zhang An¡¯an.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so smart,¡± Shu Xiaoman pinched Zhang Anan¡¯s bby stomach and said.


    ¡°There¡¯s another thing you need to remember. No matter whether Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan will end up being together or not, this thing is between them. You can¡¯t change it. Given this, stop caring so much about them. Besides, if you sincerely hope that Lin Wenxi will end up with Zhao Yuan, you should get over Lin Wenxi as soon as possible,¡± said Zhang An¡¯an.


    ¡°What do you mean? I never like...¡± said Shu Xiaoman.


    ¡°Save it. Don¡¯t tell me that you never feel a thing for him. If so, why did you get used by Wanxin and tell Wenxi the bet between Wanxin and Zhao Yuan?¡± Zhang An¡¯an said seriously.


    Shu Xiaoman was rendered speechless and blushed a little, after some thought, she said, ¡°An¡¯an, you see through everything, but what about your own rtionship with Wang Xiang? I don¡¯t think that he loves you very much. He seems to have written a poem about some girl named Ziping recently. Who knows if he falls in love with another girl? He¡¯s somewhat unfaithful and deceptive.¡±


    Zhang An¡¯an shook her head. ¡°He¡¯s a romantic guy. I know it. I can tell that he loves me. Once we get married and have children, he¡¯ll change.¡±


    ¡°What? Do you begin to think about marrying him now?¡± Shu Xiaoman asked in surprise.


    ¡°Somehow I think that I¡¯m destined to love him. He has many shorings, but he¡¯s kind and sometimes very obedient like a child. Besides, he¡¯s also a responsible guy,¡± Zhang An¡¯an said with a smile.


    ¡°Are you sure that you love him as a man instead of a child?¡± Shu Xiaoman teased.


    ¡°Hey!¡± Zhang An¡¯an cuffed Shu Xiaoman.


    ¡°Even if Wenxi does have a special background just like you said, is he really able to bear all the consequences? Do you think that he¡¯ll be alright?¡± Shu Xiaoman asked worriedly.


    ¡°I think that he¡¯ll be alright. If he doesn¡¯t get strictly disciplined by someone from his family, he won¡¯t let Wanxin bully him like that in the university,¡± said Zhang An¡¯an. ¡°I don¡¯t think that his family will be hard on him after knowing this thing.¡±


    ¡°I hope so. Sigh...¡±


    The two girls slowly walked back to their dorm while chatting.

 Chapter 80 (When I Still Have Time) Lin Wenxi Acted Hastily

    <h4>Chapter 80 (When I Still Have Time) Lin Wenxi Acted Hastily</h4>


    ¡°Let¡¯s go to visit Nannan together, Zhao Yuan,¡± Lin Wenxi suddenly said.


    ¡°You went to see her a few days ago. She¡¯s going to leave the hospital very soon. Why bother visiting her again?¡± Zhao Yuan said with his handsid out in a shrug.


    ¡°She¡¯s badly injured and worried about you all the time. And Wang Zhengjuan has given you... Well, anyhow, I think we¡¯d better go to see her again,¡± said Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go if this is what you want,¡± Zhao Yuan pped his hands and said. ¡°What¡¯re we going to give her?¡±


    ¡°Her favorite lollipops and a white rabbit,¡± Lin Wenxi said with a smile.


    ¡°Do you mean a white rabbit doll?¡± Zhao Yuan touched Lin Wenxi¡¯s head and asked.


    ¡°Yes. You¡¯re very understanding.¡± Lin Wenxi smiled.


    ¡°So do you want to marry me for that?¡± asked Zhao Yuan.


    Lin Wenxi¡¯s face suddenly became somber as he said, ¡°Stop kidding like that. I hope that next time you ask this question, you really mean to marry someone!¡±


    ¡°But I¡¯ve asked only you this question,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Are you suggesting that you were serious just now?¡± Lin Wenxi asked solemnly.


    Surprised by his bluntness, Zhao Yuan felt at a loss and stuttered, ¡°When, when I ask someone again, I¡¯ll be serious.¡±


    Grief flickered in Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes. After a moment, he asked smilingly, ¡°Are you going to ask me that question again?¡±


    Zhao Yuan was astonished and wondered, ¡°Why does Lin Wenxi suddenly be so pushy? I¡¯ve never thought of marrying him. I just want to treat him sincerely and I¡¯m willing to do anything for him. But I can¡¯t marry him. Why does he ask me such a question? Anyhow, I can¡¯t say no.¡± After some thought, he replied seriously, ¡°When I¡¯m determined to marry you, I¡¯ll ask you that question again.¡±


    Lin Wenxi gave him a thumbs-up and said, ¡°Perfect logic.¡±


    ¡°Hehe, I¡¯ve learned how to debate from you.¡± Zhao Yuan grinned and said.


    When they went to see Zhou Nannan together, they met Chen Wanxin in the ward. Both of them felt grateful for her, as she had helped them a lot in soliciting donations. Before Zhou Nannan and Wang Zhengjuan came back, they chatted together cheerfully. Even Lin Wenxi did not hate her so much now.


    When Wang Zhengjuan and Zhou Nannan came back, the boys were surprised to find out that Wang Zhengjuan looked even more haggard than Zhou Nannan. She usually wore her hair in a ponytail but today, she wore her hair down. Her eyes were sunken and ck-ringed. She tightly grabbed Zhou Nannan¡¯s hand and let her rest on her arm. Zhou Nannan was pleased upon seeing the rabbit doll. She yed with it and gradually fell asleep.


    Upon seeing that, the boys said goodbye and left.


    ¡°Please rest assured. I¡¯ll take care of the things in your family.¡± Chen Wanxin whispered to Wang Zhengjuan while gently patting her shoulder.


    ¡°Thank you. But Nannan and I have to face the reality sooner orter. I¡¯ll handle these things by myself in the future. My parents just don¡¯t want me to bring shame on them. They have to run their business,¡± said Wang Zhengjuan.


    ¡°That¡¯s alright. I didn¡¯t know it before, but now I know that we¡¯re members of the same big family. Mo Qian will take care of you. As to the other things, I believe that a capable person like you will handle them well. After all, Nannan has been cut off by her parents because of you sinceing to this university,¡± said Chen Wanxin.


    Wang Zhengjuan nodded and said, ¡°Thank you for your support. This little fool is really the love of my life.¡±


    Chen Wanxinughed and made a heart shape with her hands. ¡°Wish you two all the best.¡± With these words, she left the ward. By that time, Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan had already walked out of the building.


    Chen Wanxin looked at the boys through the window and wondered, ¡°Why did the dean let Lin Wenxi off so easily?¡±


    At night, when Chen Wanxin went into her dorm room, it was empty and quiet. She guessed that Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman probably had left for the library. Upon seeing Shu Xiaoman¡¯s cellphone on the bed, she smiled. She picked it up and flipped through the photos inside the cellphone.


    ¡°Wow, she hides a lot of things from me,¡± Chen Wanxin sneered coldly. After that, she checked Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman¡¯s chat history and saw the photo that they had deliberately hid from her on that day.


    ¡°Huh? An¡¯an is not honest with me either.¡± Chen Wanxin thought and then put the cellphone back on Shu Xiaoman¡¯s bed.


    She called Luo Yang. ¡°I want to know why the dean hasn¡¯t done anything to Lin Wenxi by now. How much do you know about this boy¡¯s background?¡± Chen Wanxin asked in a deep voice.


    ¡°I¡¯ve investigated into this thing. The administration of the university decides not to punish him because there¡¯s no precedent for this situation,¡± Luo Yang replied cautiously.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you do something to make them punish him? Now that Zhao Yuan has spent all the money, the university won¡¯t ask him to return the money. But it has to let the students know where their donations really go,¡± said Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°Miss Chen, don¡¯t be so hasty. In the end, things will mend.¡± Luo Yang tried his best to remain calm, but he knew that a smart girl like Chen Wanxin would deduce that Lin Wenxi was not from an ordinary family ording to all the details that she knew. He thought worriedly, ¡°Once she finds out that Lin Wenxi¡¯s father is her father¡¯s imcable enemy Lin Ziwei, who the hell knows what she¡¯ll do.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe it. You¡¯re lying to me!¡± said Chen Wanxin. ¡°You could¡¯ve sent someone to divulge the secret to the students and asked them to question the university administration.¡±


    ¡°Miss....¡± When Luo Yang was trying to exin further, Chen Wanxin hung up on him.


    Chen Wanxin saw an iing call from Lin Wenxi. She smiled and answered the call.


    ¡°I just want to tell you that after I get what I want, Zhao Yuan will be yours,¡± said Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Do you think that I¡¯ll believe you again?¡± asked Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°I don¡¯t care whether you believe it or not. I only hope that you¡¯ll treat him sincerely. His life is too hard...¡± Lin Wenxi told Chen Wanxin all that he knew about Zhao Yuan¡¯s family.


    Upon hearing Zhao Yuan¡¯s story, Chen Wanxin could not help but take pity on him. She thought, ¡°He has been through so many difficulties over the past years and grown up to be such an outstanding young man. Only I deserve such a guy.¡±


    ¡°Lin Wenxi, you¡¯d better not lie to me again!¡± Chen Wanxin said coldly.


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing between him and me. You know that. Well, that¡¯s it.¡± Lin Wenxi hung up the phone. Chen Wanxin called Luo Yang again. ¡°Forget about that thing I told you just now. I believe that the university has already decided how to punish Lin Wenxi. I bet that it¡¯ll be a severe punishment! By the way, remember not to let MO Capital give Zhao Yuan any top-notch award! I don¡¯t want him to be the second Zhang Dong!¡±


    ¡°You know that it¡¯s not my call, Miss Chen. Boss Mo thinks highly of Zhao Yuan now. Besides, once he joins Boss Mo¡¯s family, you¡¯ll be able to get closer to him. Isn¡¯t it what you want?¡± said Luo Yang.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want that. And I know what you¡¯re up to. Look at Zhang Dong. After being deluded into joining you, he got expelled by his university. What did you give him? What¡¯s your n? What¡¯re you going to force him to do? Well, I don¡¯t care much about him. You can do whatever you want to him, but you can never touch Zhao Yuan,¡± Chen Wanxin said harshly.


    ¡°I¡¯ll tell Boss Mo what you want, but isn¡¯t it better for you to tell him that by yourself?¡± asked Luo Yang.


    ¡°You sneakingly touched my hand when I slept in the car thest time. Do you want me to tell him that?¡± Chen Wanxin sneered.


    ¡°Miss Chen, I, I¡¯ll do what you want!¡± Luo Yang hurriedly hung up the phone. He thought ruefully, ¡°Sigh, she was not asleep at that time. I really shouldn¡¯t have touched her hand. Did she do this deliberately?¡±


    Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi came back to Dorm No.216.


    ¡°Yuan, you told me that you¡¯re going to give me a surprise. What¡¯s it?¡± asked Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Why do you suddenly think of it?¡± Zhao Yuan asked mysteriously.


    ¡°You¡¯ve found Yun Che, haven¡¯t you?¡± Lin Wenxi said smilingly.


    Zhao Yuan was surprised and stuttered. ¡°How, How do you know that? Well, I¡¯ll take you to find the girl in the secluded vige after finishing all the things here.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve already finished all the things here. Let¡¯s skip the physics lecture tomorrow. Why does the university makeputer science majors study physics for a year? That¡¯s ridiculous,¡± said Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Uhm... Okay,¡± Zhao Yuan said while wondering, ¡°Why does Lin Wenxi act so hastily recently? He¡¯s not acting like himself.¡±


    Lin Wenxi slowly walked out of the dorm room to receive a call.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t youe back? Do you forget what I¡¯ve told you?¡± Lin Ziwei shouted angrily.


    ¡°Dad, I still have one thing to do. I need at most three days to finish it. After that, I¡¯ll go home,¡± said Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°No, I don¡¯t agree. You have to return to home tomorrow!¡± Lin Ziwei got exasperated.


    Lin Wenxi still refused to back down. ¡°If so, you can ask Uncle Hong Xuan to kidnap me.¡± With these words, he hung up on his father.

 Chapter 81 (How Did You Find Him?) Zhao Yuan Managed to Find Yun Che

    <h4>Chapter 81 (How Did You Find Him?) Zhao Yuan Managed to Find Yun Che</h4>


    ¡°Ziyun Piano store gets a new boss, and this new boss is Yun Che,¡± Zhao Yuan said gleefully on their way to the piano store.


    ¡°How did you find him?¡± Lin Wenxi asked curiously. He himself had never figured out how to find Yun Che as he knew only his name. The reason he studied the piano score was that he thought he might be able to meet him somewhere and remind him of Zhu Ziping by ying the song on the piano in the future.


    Zhao Yuan was always a problem solver. Since knowing that Lin Wenxi often went to Ziyun Piano Store, he had been wondering, ¡°Ziyun? This name sounds somewhat familiar. Is this just a coincidence?¡±


    He had asked Wang Xiang to write a poetic line containing the names of Yun Che and Zhu Ziping and managed to persuade Ziyun Piano Store to solicit investment by publishing this line as an ad on many local websites.


    As Lin Wenxi was a frequent visitor to the piano store, the store owner and clerks all knew this boy from Ji Fu University and agreed to help him. Among the intentional investors, Zhao Yuan quickly discovered a man named Yun Che. He did everything in his power to help the store to get the investment from Yun Che and then managed to meet and have a drink with this man. As at that time, he was busy doing part-time jobs. He decided to take Lin Wenxi and Yun Che to find Zhu Ziping when he had time.


    Upon knowing how Zhao Yuan had found Yun Che, Lin Wenxi could not help but be impressed. ¡°It¡¯s not an easy thing to find Yun Che, although Zhao Yuan made light of what he has achieved. He had to find out whether Ziyun Piano Store is underfunded and then convince the owner of the store to publish the ad on the websites, which is designed to intrigue Yun Che. Well, he also has good luck.¡± Lin Wenxi thought when they were heading toward the piano store after skipping the lecture.


    Yun Che was surprised upon hearing that some students hade to the piano store to find him, as he had just taken over this store. He was a well cultured man and admired Lin Wenxi¡¯s artistic temperament very much. He felt that this boy was somewhat like himself. Both of them were good-looking and kind of detached from the earthly world.


    Lin Wenxi looked at Yun Che. He wore a white suit, a white shirt and a pair of white shoes. He had thick eyebrows and bright eyes. His face was somewhat pale. Under the incandescentmp, it seemed as if he was enveloped in a white mist. He stood close to them but at the same time seemed to be detached from them. Lin Wenxi did not say anything. He went directly to the piano in Yun Che¡¯s room and yed Colorful Clouds Chasing The Moon on it. He yed it well, albeit not so well as Zhu Ziping did.


    Yun Che did not think too much at first, as many people in this world liked this song and many people knew how to y it on a piano. He thought that this boy probably just came to seek his guidance, so he gave him some advice and nned to send them away.


    ¡°Zhu Ziping lives alone by the Yinshui River in Damu County,¡± Lin Wenxi said solemnly.


    Yun Che¡¯s face suddenly changed.


    Lin Wenxi told him everything. He became pale after hearing that and murmured, ¡°Take me to find her.¡±


    As they were busy with studies in the university, Zhao Yuan nned to take Yun Che to find Zhu Ziping on a weekend. When Zhao Yuan was about to refuse Yun Che¡¯s request, Lin Wenxi, who seemed not to care about anything recently, readily promised him.


    Zhao Yuan hurriedly dissuaded Lin Wenxi. ¡°Are you serious? Do you know how to go to Damu County? Are you sure that you still remember the route? Don¡¯t forget that we still have lots of things to do at the university. Yun Che, please give us some time to prepare. Can you give me your number? We¡¯ll call youter.¡±


    Yun Che nodded and then sent them to the door of the store. When they walked out of the store, Lin Wenxi looked back and saw Yun Che dejectedly slump down into his chair near the door. He wanted to go back tofort him, but Zhao Yuan dragged him away.


    ¡°That¡¯s none of your business. No matter how much you want to help them, you have to take care of yourself first. Do you forget what happened thest time when you protected that old man from the street hooligans?¡± Zhao Yuan said grumpily. Even he himself did not understand why he felt angry at this moment.


    Lin Wenxi nodded after some thought and said, ¡°Oh, I see, but you don¡¯t need to be angry.¡±


    ¡°I just don¡¯t want you to be alone,¡± Zhao Yuan said seriously. He realized that he just felt worried about Lin Wenxi¡¯s safety and did not want him to go to the depths of mountains with a stranger.


    Lin Wenxi smiled upon hearing that. Zhao Yuan frowned slightly.


    The next morning, Zhao Yuan finally came to know that he should have never trusted Lin Wenxi so much.


    Lin Wenxi¡¯s bed was empty, but hisputer was still on. The screen was filled with all kinds of maps of Damu County. Zhao Yuan immediately called Lin Wenxi, and Lin Wenxi told him that he was on his way to Damu County. Zhao Yuan could not help but sigh inwardly, ¡°Why did I have to connect the wires to give him the chance of using theputer at night? He must¡¯ve searched for maps on the Intest night and sneaked out early in the morning.¡±


    ¡°Fuck! I¡¯ve told you that this is none of your business!¡± Zhao Yuan cursed angrily. He hurriedly checked the maps on theputer and asked Wang Xiang to help him answer the roll call today.


    He tried every possible way to persuade Lin Wenxi and finally made him promise to wait for him in Damu County. He still felt worried as he knew that cellphones could not receive any signal near the branch of the Yinshui River within Damu County. After talking with Yun Che for a few times on the phone, he finally ensured that everything was alright. He felt relieved and fell asleep on the long-distance coach.


    After the three of them gathered at Damu County, they took a tractor to Yunzhong Vige where Zhu Ziping lived. Lin Wenxi thought to himself, ¡°The name of the vige sounds great. No wonder Zhu Ziping chose to live there.¡±


    On the tractor, Lin Wenxi and Yun Che kept talking about piano music. Lin Wenxi was so impressed by Yun Che¡¯s opinions. He got so excited that he nearly fell from the tractor. Fortunately, Zhao Yuan pulled him back in time. When Yun Che promised to teach him, Lin Wenxi was so moved that he nearly kow-towed to Yun Che. Upon seeing that, Zhao Yuan sighed inwardly, ¡°Why does Lin Wenxi be a different person every time he leaves the university?¡± Later, when he talked about this thing with Gu Xi, Gu Xi told him. ¡°Lin Wenxi bes a different person only when he stays with you.¡±


    Before the tractor reached the branch of the Yinshui River, Lin Wenxi insisted on getting off the tractor and walking to the vige. The tractor driver reduced the price a little and dropped them off. After the tractor made its way back, Yun Che asked confusedly, ¡°The tractor driver said that we were going to reach the vige in half an hour. Why do we have to get off the tractor here?¡±


    ¡°Whenever you go, she¡¯s waiting for you over there. She¡¯s your destination. But for me, all I have is the scenery along the road,¡± Lin Wenxi said with a smile.


    After that, he told Yun Che some interesting things that had happened during his wilderness training. Upon hearing that, Yun Che understood his decision and stoppedining.


    The Yinshui River is diverted around the Niutou Hill.


    Lin Wenxi stood in front of the hill for a long time, lost in thought. Half a year ago, Zheng Kai had carried him all the way up to the cliff here, Zhao Yuan had taken off his shirt in a tent on the top of the hill, and Shu Xiaoman had crawled into the tent to dress his wounds. His teammates had been woken up by andslide on a rainy night and then carried him all along the way as he was sick. With this in mind, Lin Wenxi snapped a dead branch off a nt near the river and walked while beating the deep grass with the branch. As it is summer now, the scenery here is different from that of the autumn. Lin Wenxi somehow had mixed feelings now.


    When they were walking along a path on a rice paddy field, it suddenly began to rain. Zhao Yuan took off his shirt and walked beside Lin Wenxi to protect him from the rain. Yun Che walked behind them silently.


    The paddy fields looked fresh and green. The smell of the rice nts mixed with that of the soil. Egrets flew over the fields, and orioles chirped among the trees. They felt refreshed and forgot about all their troubles. Lin Wenxi wondered, ¡°Why do I feel that I had a simr experience before? On a rainy day, a boy walked by my side and said teasingly, ¡®I¡¯ll marry you in the future.''¡±

 Chapter 86 (Three Months Have Passed) Lin Wenxi Feels Alone

    <h4>Chapter 86 (Three Months Have Passed) Lin Wenxi Feels Alone</h4>


    Three months had passed.


    Time flew fast. In recent months, Lin Wenxi had worked very hard day and night, but his body was much better than before. He taught Chinese, mathematics, English, music,bor, and physical education for more than one hundred students of this school, and had already be very popr among students. In these three months, besides Huang Xiya who contacted him three times, no one contacted him, including his father.


    On this day, Lin Wenxi sat silently in the bamboo forest, stroking the only high-end electronic organ that the president had applied to superiors for a long time. When the wind blew through the bamboo, the bamboo shadow cast on the wall. Lin Wenxi yed the organ, singing gently. ¡°You will feel love, hatred, and forgiveness. Life will not only be full of sadness. The lover can¡¯t take away your paradise...¡±


    It was said that people born on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month were lucky boys. Magpie Bridge blessed them. Their love affair would be smooth and stable, and they would be happy all their lives. But there was also another saying, the Chinese Valentine¡¯s Day was the day of separation. If they were born after midnight, they would have an unsmooth love affair and encounter misfortunes. Lin Wenxi was born at midnight on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. And this Chinese Valentine¡¯s Day was his eighteenth birthday.


    Over the years, Lin Wenxi celebrated his birthday with parents almost in the same way. His mother Huang Xiya would cook some dishes and buy some drinks. His father Lin Ziwei would rest at home on this day no matter how busy he was. When he was a child, Lin Wenxi always thought that his father loved him. But when he grew up, he began to wonder why there was no birthday cake or candles for his birthday every year, but there was a bunch of beautiful red roses.


    Sensible Lin Wenxi was angry about that. So one year, he shook off the petals and enjoyed a footbath with petals. At that time, his father and mother hade into the bedroom early. By the time his father came out in satisfaction, only stems were left. Fortunately, his father seemed to be in a perfect mood. He only asked Lin Wenxi to write Evesting Hatred ten times. So Lin Wenxi wrote a note and put it in his father¡¯s bedroom. It said, ¡°On the seventh day of July when none was near, at midnight in Long Life Hall he whispered in her ear.¡± His father was angry, but he couldn¡¯t me him. Later, Lin Wenxi felt that he had learned something that night.


    Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t remember the real sense of celebration of his birthday. He only remembered that when he was four or five, an elder brother yed games with him. They pretended to be a wife and a husband. ¡°Why I can¡¯t remember.¡± Lin Wenxi sighed again, lying on his side with the calendar. ¡°I just need to remember the happiness at that time; I needn¡¯t recall all the details.¡±


    The next day, it rained so heavily. The Chinese Valentine¡¯s Day happened to be the first day of the fifteen days summer vacation. This also meant that Lin Wenxi¡¯s teaching career wasing to an end. Several days ago, Hong Xuan had called to tell that he would pick up Lin Wenxi in the afternoon of the next day of Chinese Valentine¡¯s Day.


    At the end of the second ss in the afternoon, parents were crowded on the steps of the school gate, waiting in line for their children. At ordinary times, they had already rushed into the courtyard, chatting in groups about how to educate children. However, they heard that the new teacher came from a famous university, so this time they waited quietly with farm specialties in their hands to show their respect to the new teacher.


    Lin Wenxi wanted to refuse all the gifts, but he didn¡¯t know that the vigers in this small vige were so forthright that they thought he only epted expensive gifts when he refused. They anxiously asked him if their children behaved badly. If so, Lin Wenxi could punish them severely. Some parents even pulled the child over directly and pped him in public, scolding him for not listening to the teacher. Lin Wenxi pulled over the innocent child and helplessly received gifts one by one. They were all delicious delicacies that he and his ymates loved when they were children.


    ¡°Oh, God, I¡¯llpletely recall my childhood.¡± Lin Wenxi looked at each student with a happy and slightly bitter smile, thinking in mind.


    ¡°Erniu has with good memory and can remember knowledge quickly. He must be very promising when he grows up.¡±


    ¡°Yumei is good at hand-making. She can make all the origami I teach them.¡±


    Lin Wenxi talked about every student with their parents. To everyone¡¯s surprise, Lin Wenxi had remembered every student in the past few months. He also remembered their preferences and advantages.


    ¡°The children are obedient and well-behaved. Xiaofeng is a little naughty and likes fighting, but as long as I reason with him, he will obey and not bully the junior children. Besides, he¡¯s good at sports. He has a good physical body and can do sports in the future.¡± Lin Wenxi grabbed a taller, dark-skinned child and wiped his nose with a smile.


    ¡°Oh, Mr. Lin, don¡¯t get your hands dirty. My boy is very naughty. You can beat and swear at him if he doesn¡¯t listen to you. You needn¡¯t treat him too well.¡± Xiaofeng¡¯s mother smiled, twisted her child¡¯s mouth and scolded, ¡°How kind Mr. Lin is to you. If you bully your ssmates again, I¡¯ll break your leg!¡±


    A child next to him cried and sobbed. ¡°Mr. Lin, he doesn¡¯t bully the junior ss but bully us. Www...¡±


    Lin Wenxiughed and picked him up, his forehead against his nose. He said with a smile, ¡°Little Gan, if he bullies you again, you can race with him. No one can match you in long-distance and short-distance race. You can beat him, then run away, beat him again and run away.¡± Hearing that, Little Gan burst intoughter. The parents did not expect Lin Wenxi to teach their children this way, feeling curious and funny.


    Xiaofeng turned back and said, ¡°For Mr. Lin¡¯s sake, I won¡¯t hit you, but you can¡¯t always pull Cuihua¡¯s braids!¡±


    After hearing that, Little Gan felt ashamed and wanted to cry again. Lin Wenxi gently beat him on his head and said, ¡°You¡¯re eight years old. You should like a man. A man never cries often. If you want to cry, raise your head and look at the blue sky, then you won¡¯t want to cry.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re my son. From today, I don¡¯t want to see you cry again! Raise your head and look at the sky if you want to cry!¡± His father once told him.


    When Lin Wenxi returned alone, the campus was empty. There was only an old security guard at the door, who was packing things. When Mr. Lin left tomorrow, the school would be locked for half a month. He heard that a new teacher wasing.


    ¡°Mr. Lin, you teach so well that we are all reluctant to part with you. My little grandson has improved his performance since you came. He has been admitted to the primary school in the township in the second half of the year!¡± The old security guard took Lin Wenxi¡¯s hand and talked in a floppy way.


    ¡°He¡¯s brilliant. I just helped him.¡± Lin Wenxi said politely.


    ¡°If my son had ever met such a good teacher as you, he would not have be a farmer!¡± The old man¡¯s eyes were red with excitement and he couldn¡¯t stop thanking him.


    ¡°I believe the new teacher will be very good. The government cares about you. There will be a lot of teachers like me.¡± Lin Wenxi said solemnly.


    ¡°Well, since you said so, I can put my mind at ease!¡± The old man tidied up the campus courtyard in high spirits. Lin Wenxi pulled his trousers, bent down and cleaned up the blocked drainage canal in the yground in the rain.


    At dusk, the night was gloomy as if the eternal night wasing. The wind in the corridor blew toward Lin Wenxi with heavy rain. He didn¡¯t hide and let the rain pour himself through. The dim light bulb in the room slightly swayed by the unknown wind, and the shadows of the light were swaying. Lin Wenxi looked at the light, thinking. ¡°Which university I¡¯ll go to after a few days? Will I have time to go back to Jifu University? What is Zhao Yuan doing? Is Gu Xi still sad for Zheng Kai? But, what¡¯s the meaning of going back? When will we reunite after this separation?¡±


    In the quiet night, Lin Wenxi was shocked by the sudden sound of the phone which was like ghosts¡¯ crying. He answered. It was the Vige Head who was worry about Lin Wenxi¡¯s safety due to the heavy rain. He wanted to send someone to take Lin Wenxi downhill for rest. But Lin Wenxi refused and said everything was okay.


    If Lin Wenxi went down, he might be invited to have a drink with the vige cadres. He wouldn¡¯t refuse. As a child of Lin Ziwei, he had thought that there would be such a moment he lifted his cup on behalf of his father. ording to his father¡¯s original n, he would graduate from Jifu University and study abroad. Then he would return to take part in the civil service examination, being promoted step by step. Or maybe he would seed in one step just like Chen Wanxin. Lin Wenxi did not know what his future would be like. But he thought it would not be different from father¡¯s n for him. It was a closed ring. He could not escape, and never thought about escaping.


    After answering the phone, Lin Wenxi suddenly felt very cold. He checked the stove. The fire was burning and he could boil water.


    Lin Wenxi recalled that he had taken cold baths for more than a month in the winter ofst year. But to his surprise, he hadn¡¯t had a cold. So he believed that he wouldn¡¯t have a cold in the summer. Suddenly, he remembered Zhao Yuan who deliberately imitated him to sing while taking a cold bath in the bathroom. Thinking of this, Lin Wenxi felt somewhat embarrassed.


    But he surprisingly found himself was smiling from the mirror.


    Lin Wenxi made faces at the mirror and stroked his forehead gently. At the age of eighteen, he was no longer young. Stubble had appeared on his face. He was not as young as he was in high school. Looking up again, Lin Wenxi suddenly found that besides himself, a blurred figure appeared suddenly in the mirror.

 Chapter 83 (A Long Story) The Lovers United after Five Years

    <h4>Chapter 83 (A Long Story) The Lovers United after Five Years</h4>


    Zhu Ziping and Yun Che had met each other during the first year of their music university. Both of them were good-looking and talented young people. They never met or talked to each other before they were romantically in love with each other. They just spontaneously took each other¡¯s hand in a rain of cherry blossom.


    Without anyone introducing them to each other, they naturally held each other¡¯s hand when they first met at the university. None of them felt awkward. Before that moment, Zhu Ziping had never taken a man¡¯s hand like this.


    They somehow felt as if they had met before and this was a reunion.


    They seemed to be predestined to meet each other. After being together for four years, they nned to get married after graduation.


    Zhu Ziping took Yun Che home and bashfully introduced him to her parents. Upon seeing the well-dressed and well-spoken young man and all the expensive gifts he bought for them, Zhu Ziping¡¯ foster parents strongly opposed their decision to get married. Later, Zhu Ziping who had never defied her foster parents in the past ran away from her home to find Yun Che, since he had told her, ¡°I and the city where I live are waiting for you to reawaken our hearts.¡±


    Although Zhu Ziping had known that Yun Che was from a well-off family before, the moment she reached his door, she was still surprised. Yun Che¡¯s home was arge manor, and she could see many well-dressed servants working inside it. She looked at the calm face of Yun Che and felt nervous. He had never told her that he was from such a super rich family.


    Yun Che trusted Zhu Ziping. He was confident that her love for him would not change because of his background. He knew that she would just treat his parents as her future inws and would not get stressed out in front of them.


    In the beginning, Yun Che¡¯s parents were impressed by Zhu Ziping¡¯s elegance and beauty. When they asked about her family, Yun Che wanted to stop them, but Zhu Ziping calmly told them everything about her parents and foster parents.


    After knowing that, they still treated her nicely, but at night, Yun Che did note to spend the night with her.


    Now that she had run away from her home, Zhu Ziping knew that she had only Yun Che now. She was well aware that it would take his parents a while to ept her, so she waited patiently.


    With the servants being around, she did not have any chance to cook, do housework, or do anything else that she was good at. All she wanted to do was to y the piano together with the man she loved on moonlit nights, but Yun Che¡¯s parents never allowed them to stay together at night.


    She felt alone, as the manor wasrge and looked empty at night. Yun Che had once promised her that they would have drunk some wine and yed Colorful Clouds Chasing The Moon together on every moonlit night. Zhu Ziping was subtle and Yun Che, passionate. They had deeply impressed lots of people back in their university when ying piano together. None of them expected that everything would end at a moonlit night. On that night, when the rain stopped, Zhu Ziping missed Yun Che too much and sneakingly jumped over the fence between the garden of the hosts and that of the guests. She spotted Yun Che at a bonfire party and saw a sexy girl in his arms.


    The next day, Zhu Ziping decided to leave. She had stayed here for a month since Yun Che had promised to persuade his parents to approve of their rtionship. Over the past month, they had met for only five times. Every time they met, they could only spend a short period of time together. She thought to herself, ¡°If Yun Che has fallen in love with someone else or found a girl who¡¯s well-matched to him, he won¡¯t ask me to stay here. He still loves me, but he¡¯s in a dilemma now. I can tell that he pretended to smile at me every time we met. Even if we¡¯re really predestined to fall in love with each other, we have to admit that we can¡¯t be together because of these practical problems. Maybe we¡¯re predestined to meet these problems.¡±


    Before her departure, Zhu Ziping left Yun Che a note. She felt as if she had used all the strength in her body to write this note. ¡°If you still want to be together with me,e to meet me at the North Railway Station at noon. Let¡¯s run away.¡±


    Zhu Ziping waited at the railway station from noon to evening. Dark clouds gathered in the sky. She got drenched in the heavy rain and feltpletely disappointed. At night, when the rain stopped, it became somewhat windy. She was alone under the bright moon.


    She still firmly believed that Yun Che loved her. She was never attracted to wealth or luxurious lifestyle. All she wanted was to live together with Yun Che in a quiet corner of the world. She just wanted to y the piano together with him on every moonlit night. Without Yun Che, she felt that she could not remember a note and there was no music in her world.


    When Zhu Ziping returned home, she acted strangely. She turned her cellphone on and off again and again. Sometimes, she yed the piano, and sometimes, she pounded the piano angrily. She looked somewhat insane. When she recovered, she learned that her foster mother had passed away because of overwhelming worries and thus regretted what she had done very much. She sent a text message to Yun Che. ¡°Let¡¯s end our rtionship now. Thank you for appearing in my life as a wonderful piece of music. It¡¯ll take me my whole life to forget about it. If we can meet each other again without contacting each other beforehand, I¡¯ll take your hands and leave with you again.¡± After sending that message to Yun Che, she cut off contact with everyone except her bestie.


    Zhu Ziping did not know that at that time, Yun Che was locked in a room by her parents. As he was eager to meet her at the railway station, he jumped from the third-floor room and got severely injured. He hadin on a bed in a hospital for three months and in the first few days, he could not move at all. When he was able to pick up his cellphone, he called Zhu Ziping but failed to get through to her. He was in total despair and thus recovered slowly. After leaving the hospital, he ran away from home and traveled to many different ces. One day, his friend saw the ad of Ziyun Piano Store and told him this thing. He hurriedly went to the piano store and bought it. During this process, he gradually realized that the ad was specially designed to attract his attention by Zhao Yuan and Zhao Yuan did this to make Lin Wenxi¡¯s wishe true.


    When they came back to Ziyun Piano Store together, Yun Che sighed. ¡°We¡¯ve wasted five years.¡± He tightly held Zhu Ziping¡¯s hand and silently recalled how they had met a few days ago back in the vige.


    On that day, Yun Che stood at the door of Zhu Ziping¡¯s house, waiting for her. ln thete afternoon, she finally came back with some fresh vegetables that she had just picked from her field and a jar of cherry blossom in hand. They smiled at each other and then naturally held each other¡¯s hands just like what they had done nine years ago, when he had been19 and she, 18.


    Nine years had passed. Now she was 28 and he was 29. They did not simply feel delighted or excited when seeing each other. They hadplicated feelings which they could hardly express through words. Just like Zhu Ziping had written in that text message, Yun Che appeared in her life again without contacting her beforehand. He held her hands when the sun was setting and the morning glory in the garden changed from light red to dark blue.


    Zhu Ziping seemed somewhat bashful. She still looked like a young girl, but Yun Che already had some visible wrinkles in the corners of his eyes. He slowly told her all the things that he had been through during the past five years. Tears flowed down Lin Wenxi¡¯s face. He sobbed and asked, ¡°Can you tell me when you knew that you¡¯re in love, Ziping?¡±


    After some thought, Zhu Ziping replied, ¡°I knew it when I discovered that I would feel happy for him and sad for him. And sometimes, the feelings were soplicated that I could not tell whether I was happy or sad.¡± Lin Wenxi nodded. Zhu Ziping wanted toe close to him tofort him, but he refused. After that, he quietly left the piano store together with Zhao Yuan.


    The piano store was quiet again.

 Chapter 84 (Unless You Defeat Me) Saddened by the Departure, Zhao Yuan Picked a Fight with Hong Xuan

    <h4>Chapter 84 (Unless You Defeat Me) Saddened by the Departure, Zhao Yuan Picked a Fight with Hong Xuan</h4>


    On their way back to their university, Lin Wenxi asked Zhao Yuan, ¡°Do you think it¡¯s impossible for two boys to love each other the way Yun Che and Ziping do?¡±


    ¡°You should ask Xiaoman such a question instead of me. Or, you can ask Wang Xiang,¡± Zhao Yuan replied casually while holding a de of foxtail grass between his lips.


    ¡°I¡¯m wondering what¡¯ll happen when we reunite after being separated for five years,¡± said Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Huh? I think it¡¯ll be pretty normal for us to not meet each other once during five years after graduation,¡± Zhao Yuan spit the de of grass and said while looking at Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Oh...¡± Lin Wenxi remained silent for a moment before adding, ¡°What if I disappear for no reason for five years? What will happen when we reunite?¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t recognize you at that time.¡±


    ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡°You know what. A girl changes fast in physical appearance from childhood to adulthood. Who the hell knows what you¡¯ll look like five yearster?¡± Zhao Yuan said teasingly with a smile.


    ¡°Be serious!¡±


    ¡°Uhm, I think that we shouldn¡¯t let such a thing happen. I really don¡¯t know how to answer such a question. If there¡¯s no such a thing, I don¡¯t have to answer it.¡± Zhao Yuan smiled helplessly.


    ¡°What if it happens?¡±


    ¡°What will you do if it happens?¡± asked Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Uhm, we shouldn¡¯t let it happen...¡± Lin Wenxi twitched his mouth.


    ¡°What if it really happens?¡± Zhao Yuan became intrigued.


    ¡°Yeah, what if it really happens? What will you do?¡± asked Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°What about you?¡± asked Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°You¡¯re childish!¡± Lin Wenxi was a little angry.


    ¡°Let nature take its course. Didn¡¯t you say that if two people are predestined to meet, they¡¯ll meet each other anyway?¡± Zhao Yuan said while scratching his head.


    Lin Wenxi nodded and said, ¡°Yeah.¡±


    That evening, Lin Wenxi said that he had to go home and left the university.


    Later, Zhao Yuan called him to ensure that he had reached home safely. The next day, Zhao Yuan¡¯s father left the hospital, and Zhao Yuan went to take care of him. They lived together for a few days and discussed the debts together. When Zhao Yuan was ready to return to the university, he called Lin Wenxi but could not get through to him.


    When Zhao Yuan returned to the dorm alone, Wang Xiang came up to him and asked, ¡°Where have you been together with Wenxi? Where¡¯s he now?¡±


    Zhao Yuan thought in surprise, ¡°What? Lin Wenxi hasn¡¯t returned to the university yet.¡± Right at this moment, his cellphone rang. It was a text message from Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Dear Zhao Yuan, I¡¯ve never expected our story to end so abruptly. I feel as if it has not yet started when it ends. I¡¯ve transferred to another university in a far-away ce. Anyway, if we¡¯re predestined to meet, we¡¯ll meet each other someday. Do you think how many yearster we¡¯ll meet again? What will you say and do at that time? I¡¯m looking forward to it but at the same time, feel somewhat nervous about it. I¡¯m afraid that you¡¯ll forget about me. But I¡¯ll never forget about you. Besides, please help me take care of Gu Xi. Tell him that I¡¯ll miss him. By the way, I¡¯m the son of the upright official that you¡¯ve mentioned before. I¡¯m sorry to tell you about this now. I really didn¡¯t know how to break this to you. In the end, I want to tell you that after sending out this message, this SIM card will be deactivated. Oh, someone wille to the dorm to pack my belongings. He¡¯s my father¡¯s bodyguard, and his name is Hong Xuan. Don¡¯t provoke him. He¡¯s fierce. In addition...¡±


    As a text message could contain at most 63 words, this farewell letter was sent to Zhao Yuan in 5 text messages. Zhao Yuan looked at the words and imagined how Lin Wenxi typed them out while frowning slightly. He wondered, ¡°What does he want to say in the end of the letter? Why didn¡¯t he finish the letter?¡±


    Zhao Yuan slumped down into Lin Wenxi¡¯s bed and repeatedly read the text messages. He felt as if his body was hollowed out and everything in his life was meaningless. He kept calling Lin Wenxi but never got through to him. In the end, he had no choice but to call Lin Wenxi¡¯s parents.


    ¡°Wenxi has transferred to another university.¡± This was the only answer he got.


    Zhao Yuan could not believe what he had heard and sat listlessly inside the dorm. Suddenly, the university counselor led a middle-aged man into the dorm. He had dark skin and looked slim and fierce. The man came to pack Lin Wenxi¡¯s belongings.


    ¡°Who¡¯re you?¡± Zhao Yuan asked while sitting on Lin Wenxi¡¯s bed.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, this is a rtive of Lin Wenxi. Hees here to pack Wenxi¡¯s belongings, as he has transferred to another university,¡± said the university counselor.


    ¡°Crap! We¡¯ve lived together for such a long time and treat each other like brothers. Why didn¡¯t he tell us anything before transferring to another university?¡± Zhao Yuan said angrily.


    ¡°He doesn¡¯t need to exin everything to you. Get out of the bed,¡± said the middle-aged man.


    ¡°Show me your ID card and a certificate that proves your rtionship with Lin Wenxi,¡± Zhao Yuan said coldly. He still remembered his father¡¯s words, although his mind was confused now. He just wanted to protect Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°You¡¯re not qualified to ask me to do that, Zhao Yuan!¡± The man said, his face somber. He looked at Zhao Yuan with piercing eyes.


    ¡°Stop it, Zhao Yuan. Wenxi¡¯s parents called me to exin this thing beforehand,¡± The counselor said with a solemn face.


    ¡°No. I won¡¯t let you take his things away unless you defeat me!¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    To his surprise, the middle-aged manughed and said, ¡°Hehe, Jifu University does have many daring young men. I haven¡¯t engaged in a fight for a long time. Do you want to fight here?¡±


    ¡°Uncle Hong, he¡¯s Wenxi¡¯s best friend. Please don¡¯t take his childish words seriously. Could you please give me some time and let me have a talk with him?¡± The university counselor got anxious.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go downstairs! After you!¡± Zhao Yuan to the middle-aged man.


    The middle-aged man was Hong Xuan. He came here to take Lin Wenxi¡¯s belongings home at the request of Lin Ziwei.


    Upon hearing Zhao Yuan¡¯s words, he strode out of the dorm room. Zhao Yuan came out of the room after Hong Xuan and then locked the door behind himself. He called Zheng Kai, ¡°Don¡¯t allow anyone to open the door of our dorm unless Ie back. And tell this to Wang Xiang!¡±


    At that moment, Zheng Kai and Wang Xiang were watching dozens of girls of the dancing team rehearsing on their training ground, and Wang Xiang was teasing about Zheng Kai¡¯s rtionship with Gu Xi. When Zheng Kai was about to teach Wang Xiang a lesson, he received the call and hurriedly went back to the dorm together with Wang Xiang.


    There was a concrete sports field in front of the dormitory building where male students of theputer science department lived. It was on this sports field that the students gathered for their on-campus freshmen military training. When Zhao Yuan and Hong Xuan came down to the sports field, there were many students down there. Some of them were walking on the sports field, heading for their lecture rooms or their dorms. Some of them were doing experiments. Some were ying badminton. Suddenly someone shouted, ¡°We¡¯re going to fight. Go away, if you don¡¯t want to get injured!¡±


    Some students knew Zhao Yuan and hurriedly dragged the other students away from the ce and told them what was going on. Soon enough, arge crowd was gathering around Zhao Yuan and Hong Xuan. The university counselor who was busy dissuading Zhao Yuan from fighting against Hong Xuan suddenly noticed that Hong Xuan was ring at her, so she hurriedly went to help maintain the order. Fortunately, the students were willing to listen to her and obediently stood inside the safety zone designated by her. The students were curiously watching the duel between the two men, which seldom happened in real life but was often depicted in kung fu fiction.


    Zhao Yuan angrily came at Hong Xuan after giving a shout-out, but Hong Xuan just kept dodging him with apletely straight face.


    The students enjoyed watching the fight very much, as they had never expected that Zhao Yuan was so fierce and able to jump up so high and do a twist in the air. Neither had they anticipated that the middle-aged man was so nimble. He just focused on defending instead of counterattacking.


    Among the crowd, there was a boy who knew kung fu. He could not help but shout out, ¡°Side kick! Shoulder throw! Punch with both hands! Trip him up...¡± Suddenly, someone pulled his cor and threw him out while shouting angrily, ¡°Do you want to try my Dragon-beating Palms!¡± It was Zheng Kai, and he had juste to this ce.


    Upon hearing his words, Hong Xuanughed and said, ¡°That makes sense!¡± With these words, he turned sideways to dodge Zhao Yuan¡¯s round kick and then attacked Zhao Yuan with palms. Zhao Yuan staggeringly retreated a few meters while covering his stomach with his hands and looking very pale. Zheng Kai wanted to help him but got stopped by him. He gritted his teeth, stood upright and came at Hong Xuan again. He crazily attacked Hong Xuan but only managed tond two punches on some invulnerable parts of the man¡¯s body. Suddenly, he groaned as his body flew backward and then hit the ground. He covered his chest with his hand, and his nose started bleeding.


    Upon seeing that Zhao Yuan got bullied, Zheng Kai could not help but join the fight. Zhao Yuan suffered from such an intense pain that he could not speak at the moment. He made lots of hand gestures, trying to stop Zheng Kai, but Zheng Kai ignored it. Before everyone realized what was going on, Hong Xuan had already picked Zheng Kai up by the waist and thrown him to the ground. Zheng Kai got lots of scratches in his arms and legs but still refused to back down. He attacked Hong Xuan again and got punched in the temple. During the process, he idently hit Hong Xuan¡¯s crotch. He was embarrassed as he clearly felt that he had hit something soft just now. He regretted it very much and but he was too dizzy to get up and apologize.


    Hong Xuan felt an acute pain in his crotch and flew into a rage since he thought that Zheng Kai did this on purpose. When he was about to beat Zheng Kai up to teach him a lesson, a slender boy stood in his way. Although the boy flushed with fear and looked nervous, he still opened his arms to stop Hong Xuan. He said, ¡°I won¡¯t let you beat him up!¡±


    Hong Xuan was surprised. He could have easily knocked this boy down with just one palm strike. Nevertheless, he stopped and said.


    ¡°Great, you¡¯re a loyal friend, boy. For you, I won¡¯t beat him up! And Zhao Yuan, what else do you want to say?¡±


    ¡°No, nothing. As I get defeated by you, I won¡¯t talk nonsense! I have only two questions. Is Wenxi safe? And how do you know that I¡¯m Zhao Yuan!¡± Zhao Yuan asked as he stood up, totteringly.


    Hong Xuan grinned and said, ¡°Wenxi is very safe. Don¡¯t worry about him. As to your second question, Wenxi only mentioned you to me before.¡±


    Before his departure, Lin Wenxi had told Hong Xuan, ¡°Please treat my roommates nicely when you go to my dorm to pack up my things, especially Zhao Yuan. He may want to stop you.¡±


    Back then, Hong Xuan had smilingly asked Lin Wenxi, ¡°How do I know which one is Zhao Yuan?¡±


    Upon hearing that, Lin Wenxi replied, ¡°He¡¯s the most handsome guy among my roommates. He¡¯s probably the most handsome guy you¡¯ve met in your life. ¡°And he knows kung fu. Don¡¯t underestimate him.¡±


    Hong Xuan considered thisment to be very childish and thus did not tell it to Zhao Yuan.


    When Zhao Yuan and Zheng Kai were looked after and surrounded by several students, Hong Xuan asked a few other people to work together with him to pack Lin Wenxi¡¯s belongings. Soon enough, they took all his things away, including his keyboard, books and bedding.


    In the end, Hong Xuan pointed at a red sweatshirt and said, ¡°This sweatshirt is not his. It must¡¯ve been put in his closet by mistake.¡± With these words, he left.


    Zhao Yuan looked at the sweatshirt, and his eyes were sour. He had been looking for this sweatshirt all this time but failed to find it anywhere. On the first day at the university, Lin Wenxi had worn this shirt.

 Chapter 85 (I Don’t Have to Worry about It) Lin Wenxi Was Going to Teach at a Remote and Poor Area

    <h4>Chapter 85 (I Don¡¯t Have to Worry about It) Lin Wenxi Was Going to Teach at a Remote and Poor Area</h4>


    Lin Ziwei told Lin Wenxi a few days ago that he had to leave Jifu University. Lin Wenxi was punished by stopping his study at Jifu University and going to a remote mountain vige in Yangzi County to teach for half a year. Later, he would arrange for him to study in a normal university in the next-door province as an exchange student.


    Both Lin Wenxi and Huang Xiya was puzzled, because Li Wenxi¡¯s future might be ruined if he left Jifu University.


    ¡°He¡¯s so eye-catching at Jifu University. I was against it!¡± Lin Ziwei said with a serious look.


    ¡°Wasn¡¯t that caused by your investigation on the cheating of Chen Tianjiao¡¯s daughter? Otherwise, they would not contact the media?¡± Huang Xiya was very unwilling.


    ¡°It¡¯s because of me that his name didn¡¯t appear in the newspaper. Otherwise, now my precious son would have been known by everyone! What¡¯s more, we naturally have to investigate the wrong thing. If we make the mistakes sound less serious, how can we ensure the fairness and transparency of the cross-countrypetition?¡± Lin Ziwei asked.


    ¡°Chen Wanxin didn¡¯t win thepetition, and she gave up in the end. Why did you insist on investigating these trivial things? Since he disgraced you by finding fault with Wenxi, don¡¯t you know find fault with his daughter?¡±


    ¡°His daughter is much smarter than Wenxi and never did anything wrong! From high school to college, she was praised by everybody. Shall I fake an usation against her? He didn¡¯t say anything wrong about Wenxi. Wenxi is to me for this matter! He spared no efforts to win the first prize in the contest of freshmen. Then others suspected that I help him. This time he organized a false fund-raising in the name of me! If I don¡¯t teach him a lesson, do you think that he can continue to stay at Jifu University? You can lose face, but I can¡¯t!¡± Lin Ziwei frowned with anger.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to say more. I suspect that there are some things rted to his wily daughter. Later, I will let Hong Xuan check it for me from time to time,¡± said Lin Ziwei.


    ¡°Wenxi said that he was locked during the Spring Festival and bullied by the girl at school. He was unhappy. So he did something in the name of you to release his anger. But he didn¡¯t do any bad things. He organized donation to help his ssmate. Can¡¯t you guide him more? Every time he makes a mistake, you either beat him or scold him. He¡¯s a child, you....¡± Huang Xiya said, and her eyes were red.


    ¡°Xiya, he had many bad ideas when he was only a child. If not because of me, he would have been a naughty boy. You say I should guide him. Yeah, the beat is guidance. Punishment is guidance too! After the experience in the countryside of this time, he will understand me.¡± Lin Ziwei stroked his wife¡¯s beautiful hair and said with pity.


    ¡°But that vige is so far and poor. Ziwei, sometimes I wonder you¡¯re so cruel to him whether because...¡± Huang Xiya suddenly burst into tears.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t mind it before, and won¡¯t mind it in the future. I didn¡¯t heat him, and didn¡¯t dislike you either.¡± Lin Ziwei said gently.


    Huang Xiya nodded, tears keeping rolling down her face. She owed too much to her husband. Since the birth of Lin Wenxi, Huang Xiya had been diagnosed as infertile. But her husband, who attached great importance to carrying on the family line, still insisted on marrying her and loved her like before. Huang Xiya thought she couldn¡¯t change her husband¡¯s mind anymore, so she could only ask people to send some clothes and food to Lin Wenxi secretly from time to time.


    The Vige Head of Vige Zhao and the president of the school had been waiting for and weing the new teachers at the entrance to the vige.


    To Lin Wenxi¡¯s surprise, the president was only a girl about twenty-four. The group arrived at the foot of a hill by a jolty tractor. On the way, the vige cadre repeatedly consulted Lin Wenxi¡¯s rmendation letters, the photo on which made him worry that whether such a weak student could get used to the poor vige. However, Lin Wenxi sat very steadily on the jolty tractor all the way. And he could also walk fast on the long mountain road to the vige after the tractor. These native vigers didn¡¯t need to slow down and wait for him.


    The Vige Head smiled reassuringly. Although Lin Wenxi was a college student, he was hardworking and didn¡¯t need special treatment. But his personal safety had to be ensured. But to the Vige Head¡¯s puzzlement, the Township Head coughed slightly and said on the phone, ¡°In addition, report his life to me every few days... and his physical health and mood. Er... And rtionship state.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. He¡¯s just a student of Jifu University. He¡¯s excellent at university, so he cane here to teach even though he¡¯s a freshman. But he¡¯s too young and underage, so I have to pay more attention to him.¡± The Township Head smiled helplessly. In the morning, he received a personal call from Lin Ziwei who clearly demanded equal treatment to Lin Wenxi. But soon after, Mrs. Lin called him and hoped that he could take care of Lin Wenxi. How dare he not pay attention to Lin Wenxi?


    Lin Wenxi quickly forgot the direction because of the winding mountain road. They arrived at a rtively t ce and saw steps made of earth and stone. The bamboo forests on both sides were green and vigorous, and the end of the steps was the school which was situated on the top of a hill that was much higher than others. Because the soil here was very soft,ndslide always happened in a small area on rainy days. But there had never been a significant event. For the sake of students¡¯ safety, the school was located in this ce especially.


    The school was surrounded by endless bamboo forests, outside which were sprawling shrubs. There almost was no dense jungles here, which somewhat dispelled Lin Wenxi¡¯s fear of the presence of ferocious wild animals such as tigers and wild boars. He carried all his luggage and looked around the dormitory that the president had arranged for him personally. It was the only bungalow in the school. There was only one wardrobe, a wooden bed with a mat, a small coal stove and some daily necessities. It was very simple but tidy and clean. Even the cement floor under his feet was cleaned up. Onlyter did he know that the bungalow was the president¡¯s residence. She couldn¡¯t refuse the vigers¡¯ enthusiasm and reluctantly agreed to live in the mostfortable ce in the school. Because of the arrival of Lin Wenxi, the president packed her things and lived in the tile house on the other side.


    In addition that the water supply was insufficient and all domestic water needed to be transported from the submontane vige, Lin Wenxi was satisfied with everything. The most satisfying thing was that there was no signal at all on the mountain. There was only one telephone wire connected with a public telephone. In this way, his mother couldn¡¯t monitor him from time to time. In Lin Wenxi¡¯s mind, he wondered what expression Zhao Yuan would have and what he would say when they reunited after a long time separation. Thinking of this, Lin Wenxi felt very sad.


    The students had been idle for a long time because one of the teachers went home to get married. The president¡¯s application for teachers had been approved many times, but no teacher hade. These days they knew that there would be a new teacher, but they didn¡¯t expect the new teacher to be so extraordinary.


    Lin Wenxi also knew that the school only provide amodation and there was no sry.


    There was only one ss of every grade, so there were three sses from grade one to grade three. Every ss had four lessons a day. Whether they could rest depended on the situation, for the students of grade three, as long as their learning progress kept up with that of the students in township primary school, they could take the exam at the end of the school year. After passing the exam, they were eligible to go to town primary school. It meant that from the fourth grade, the students who graduated from here had to take care of themselves in the new school, which was almost unimaginable to Lin Wenxi.


    Therefore, Lin Wenxi pitied these children when facing them.


    After six lessons a day, many students liked to y together with Lin Wenxi because of their love of the new teacher.


    In students¡¯ heart, Lin Wenxi was a magician.


    He could teach many beautiful Chinese and English nursery songs in ss, although he always forgot the lines. He taught them to make paper airnes, paper cranes, and paper frogs and so on after school, and made gands with leaves for girls. He also taught them many self-created poems at any time, though he never exined for them.


    However, some students secretly found the poems that Mr. Lin wrote in his bedroom, but Mr. Lin couldn¡¯t exin them.


    ¡ª¡ª


    It¡¯s a beautiful night.


    Everything is


    Tranquil and lovely.


    I don¡¯t have to worry about it.


    I needn¡¯t avoid it either.


    Even though you¡¯re not here,


    I still can feel you by my heart.

 Chapter 86 (Three Months Have Passed) Lin Wenxi Feels Alone

    <h4>Chapter 86 (Three Months Have Passed) Lin Wenxi Feels Alone</h4>


    Three months had passed.


    Time flew fast. In recent months, Lin Wenxi had worked very hard day and night, but his body was much better than before. He taught Chinese, mathematics, English, music,bor, and physical education for more than one hundred students of this school, and had already be very popr among students. In these three months, besides Huang Xiya who contacted him three times, no one contacted him, including his father.


    On this day, Lin Wenxi sat silently in the bamboo forest, stroking the only high-end electronic organ that the president had applied to superiors for a long time. When the wind blew through the bamboo, the bamboo shadow cast on the wall. Lin Wenxi yed the organ, singing gently. ¡°You will feel love, hatred, and forgiveness. Life will not only be full of sadness. The lover can¡¯t take away your paradise...¡±


    It was said that people born on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month were lucky boys. Magpie Bridge blessed them. Their love affair would be smooth and stable, and they would be happy all their lives. But there was also another saying, the Chinese Valentine¡¯s Day was the day of separation. If they were born after midnight, they would have an unsmooth love affair and encounter misfortunes. Lin Wenxi was born at midnight on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. And this Chinese Valentine¡¯s Day was his eighteenth birthday.


    Over the years, Lin Wenxi celebrated his birthday with parents almost in the same way. His mother Huang Xiya would cook some dishes and buy some drinks. His father Lin Ziwei would rest at home on this day no matter how busy he was. When he was a child, Lin Wenxi always thought that his father loved him. But when he grew up, he began to wonder why there was no birthday cake or candles for his birthday every year, but there was a bunch of beautiful red roses.


    Sensible Lin Wenxi was angry about that. So one year, he shook off the petals and enjoyed a footbath with petals. At that time, his father and mother hade into the bedroom early. By the time his father came out in satisfaction, only stems were left. Fortunately, his father seemed to be in a perfect mood. He only asked Lin Wenxi to write Evesting Hatred ten times. So Lin Wenxi wrote a note and put it in his father¡¯s bedroom. It said, ¡°On the seventh day of July when none was near, at midnight in Long Life Hall he whispered in her ear.¡± His father was angry, but he couldn¡¯t me him. Later, Lin Wenxi felt that he had learned something that night.


    Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t remember the real sense of celebration of his birthday. He only remembered that when he was four or five, an elder brother yed games with him. They pretended to be a wife and a husband. ¡°Why I can¡¯t remember.¡± Lin Wenxi sighed again, lying on his side with the calendar. ¡°I just need to remember the happiness at that time; I needn¡¯t recall all the details.¡±


    The next day, it rained so heavily. The Chinese Valentine¡¯s Day happened to be the first day of the fifteen days summer vacation. This also meant that Lin Wenxi¡¯s teaching career wasing to an end. Several days ago, Hong Xuan had called to tell that he would pick up Lin Wenxi in the afternoon of the next day of Chinese Valentine¡¯s Day.


    At the end of the second ss in the afternoon, parents were crowded on the steps of the school gate, waiting in line for their children. At ordinary times, they had already rushed into the courtyard, chatting in groups about how to educate children. However, they heard that the new teacher came from a famous university, so this time they waited quietly with farm specialties in their hands to show their respect to the new teacher.


    Lin Wenxi wanted to refuse all the gifts, but he didn¡¯t know that the vigers in this small vige were so forthright that they thought he only epted expensive gifts when he refused. They anxiously asked him if their children behaved badly. If so, Lin Wenxi could punish them severely. Some parents even pulled the child over directly and pped him in public, scolding him for not listening to the teacher. Lin Wenxi pulled over the innocent child and helplessly received gifts one by one. They were all delicious delicacies that he and his ymates loved when they were children.


    ¡°Oh, God, I¡¯llpletely recall my childhood.¡± Lin Wenxi looked at each student with a happy and slightly bitter smile, thinking in mind.


    ¡°Erniu has with good memory and can remember knowledge quickly. He must be very promising when he grows up.¡±


    ¡°Yumei is good at hand-making. She can make all the origami I teach them.¡±


    Lin Wenxi talked about every student with their parents. To everyone¡¯s surprise, Lin Wenxi had remembered every student in the past few months. He also remembered their preferences and advantages.


    ¡°The children are obedient and well-behaved. Xiaofeng is a little naughty and likes fighting, but as long as I reason with him, he will obey and not bully the junior children. Besides, he¡¯s good at sports. He has a good physical body and can do sports in the future.¡± Lin Wenxi grabbed a taller, dark-skinned child and wiped his nose with a smile.


    ¡°Oh, Mr. Lin, don¡¯t get your hands dirty. My boy is very naughty. You can beat and swear at him if he doesn¡¯t listen to you. You needn¡¯t treat him too well.¡± Xiaofeng¡¯s mother smiled, twisted her child¡¯s mouth and scolded, ¡°How kind Mr. Lin is to you. If you bully your ssmates again, I¡¯ll break your leg!¡±


    A child next to him cried and sobbed. ¡°Mr. Lin, he doesn¡¯t bully the junior ss but bully us. Www...¡±


    Lin Wenxiughed and picked him up, his forehead against his nose. He said with a smile, ¡°Little Gan, if he bullies you again, you can race with him. No one can match you in long-distance and short-distance race. You can beat him, then run away, beat him again and run away.¡± Hearing that, Little Gan burst intoughter. The parents did not expect Lin Wenxi to teach their children this way, feeling curious and funny.


    Xiaofeng turned back and said, ¡°For Mr. Lin¡¯s sake, I won¡¯t hit you, but you can¡¯t always pull Cuihua¡¯s braids!¡±


    After hearing that, Little Gan felt ashamed and wanted to cry again. Lin Wenxi gently beat him on his head and said, ¡°You¡¯re eight years old. You should like a man. A man never cries often. If you want to cry, raise your head and look at the blue sky, then you won¡¯t want to cry.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re my son. From today, I don¡¯t want to see you cry again! Raise your head and look at the sky if you want to cry!¡± His father once told him.


    When Lin Wenxi returned alone, the campus was empty. There was only an old security guard at the door, who was packing things. When Mr. Lin left tomorrow, the school would be locked for half a month. He heard that a new teacher wasing.


    ¡°Mr. Lin, you teach so well that we are all reluctant to part with you. My little grandson has improved his performance since you came. He has been admitted to the primary school in the township in the second half of the year!¡± The old security guard took Lin Wenxi¡¯s hand and talked in a floppy way.


    ¡°He¡¯s brilliant. I just helped him.¡± Lin Wenxi said politely.


    ¡°If my son had ever met such a good teacher as you, he would not have be a farmer!¡± The old man¡¯s eyes were red with excitement and he couldn¡¯t stop thanking him.


    ¡°I believe the new teacher will be very good. The government cares about you. There will be a lot of teachers like me.¡± Lin Wenxi said solemnly.


    ¡°Well, since you said so, I can put my mind at ease!¡± The old man tidied up the campus courtyard in high spirits. Lin Wenxi pulled his trousers, bent down and cleaned up the blocked drainage canal in the yground in the rain.


    At dusk, the night was gloomy as if the eternal night wasing. The wind in the corridor blew toward Lin Wenxi with heavy rain. He didn¡¯t hide and let the rain pour himself through. The dim light bulb in the room slightly swayed by the unknown wind, and the shadows of the light were swaying. Lin Wenxi looked at the light, thinking. ¡°Which university I¡¯ll go to after a few days? Will I have time to go back to Jifu University? What is Zhao Yuan doing? Is Gu Xi still sad for Zheng Kai? But, what¡¯s the meaning of going back? When will we reunite after this separation?¡±


    In the quiet night, Lin Wenxi was shocked by the sudden sound of the phone which was like ghosts¡¯ crying. He answered. It was the Vige Head who was worry about Lin Wenxi¡¯s safety due to the heavy rain. He wanted to send someone to take Lin Wenxi downhill for rest. But Lin Wenxi refused and said everything was okay.


    If Lin Wenxi went down, he might be invited to have a drink with the vige cadres. He wouldn¡¯t refuse. As a child of Lin Ziwei, he had thought that there would be such a moment he lifted his cup on behalf of his father. ording to his father¡¯s original n, he would graduate from Jifu University and study abroad. Then he would return to take part in the civil service examination, being promoted step by step. Or maybe he would seed in one step just like Chen Wanxin. Lin Wenxi did not know what his future would be like. But he thought it would not be different from father¡¯s n for him. It was a closed ring. He could not escape, and never thought about escaping.


    After answering the phone, Lin Wenxi suddenly felt very cold. He checked the stove. The fire was burning and he could boil water.


    Lin Wenxi recalled that he had taken cold baths for more than a month in the winter ofst year. But to his surprise, he hadn¡¯t had a cold. So he believed that he wouldn¡¯t have a cold in the summer. Suddenly, he remembered Zhao Yuan who deliberately imitated him to sing while taking a cold bath in the bathroom. Thinking of this, Lin Wenxi felt somewhat embarrassed.


    But he surprisingly found himself was smiling from the mirror.


    Lin Wenxi made faces at the mirror and stroked his forehead gently. At the age of eighteen, he was no longer young. Stubble had appeared on his face. He was not as young as he was in high school. Looking up again, Lin Wenxi suddenly found that besides himself, a blurred figure appeared suddenly in the mirror.

 Chapter 87 (Am I Dreaming) I Am Happy to Meet You Again.

    <h4>Chapter 87 (Am I Dreaming) I Am Happy to Meet You Again.</h4>


    Lin Wenxi felt stunned. Before he clearly saw that face, he picked up the scissors in front of the mirror to protect himself.


    But the scissors fell to the ground suddenly. Lin Wenxi knew the school gate could not stop him. But how on earth did he find here?


    They hadn¡¯t seen each other for more than three months. Zhao Yuan wore a raincoat, which was rising with the wind at the door. He wore the same coat as he wore when he first went to the dormitory and ck sports trousers and ck sneakers which were already wet. Lin Wenxi had secretly hidden the coat in his cab. But when he left the dormitory, he could not find it for a moment.


    ¡°Did you miss me?¡± Zhao Yuan stretched out his arms.


    ¡°No!¡± Lin Wenxi turned his head.


    ¡°Let me see if you¡¯re lying.¡± Zhao Yuan took off his raincoat and went up to stand in front of Lin Wenxi


    Lin Wenxi was more mature than he was in military training, and also a little sunburnt. In the past, he used to wear white clothes, white shoes, light blue jeans or casual clothes, looking like a delicate fairy. But now he wore an ordinary T-shirt, linen hand-knitted shorts, and a pair of patched rubber sandals. If he blushed again, it couldn¡¯t be seen clearly.


    Zhao Yuan pinched Lin Wenxi¡¯s chin and let him turn around. He saw a pair of tearful eyes and lovesickness in them. How could Zhao Yuan not understand? All the jokes he wanted to say disappeared. ¡°Wenxi, I miss you,¡± Said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°You got wet in the rain again, did you?¡± Zhao Yuan touched Lin Wenxi¡¯s back and said, ¡°Take a bath in hot water quickly. You always like to mistreat yourself as soon as anything happens. I really don¡¯t know if you understand ¡®our bodies are received from our parents¡¯.¡± Zhao Yuanined while he was going to pick up the towel hanging on the side of the wardrobe. But Lin Wenxi held him tightly and refused to move.


    ¡°Don¡¯t move. I hope it¡¯s not a dream.¡± Lin Wenxi muttered but was patted on his ass hard. ¡°What did you do?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not a dream.¡± Zhao Yuan chuckled.


    Lin Wenxi immediately let go of him, but Zhao Yuan refused to let go.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you let me go?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s a dream...¡± Zhao Yuan said with a smile.


    This time Lin Wenxi heavily patted him on the ass, but Zhao Yuan did not resist.


    Lin Wenxi asked, ¡°Normally, you¡¯ll stop me in order to show that you¡¯re the winner.¡±


    ¡°Today, you can do whatever you want.¡± Zhao Yuan said gently in Lin Wenxi¡¯s ear.


    Lin Wenxi was shocked. ¡°What are you going to do?¡±


    ¡°To celebrate your birthday. Today, you¡¯re eighteen. You¡¯re an adult. You must have a birthday celebration of adult style.¡± Zhao Yuan smiled, blinking his eyes.


    ¡°How did you know?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°ording to your ID card, July 7th is your birthday. But I know the seventh day of the seventh lunar month is your real birthday.¡± Zhao Yuan naughtily touched Lin Wenxi¡¯s head and went to the corner to boil water.


    Soon Zhao Yuan sweated heavily. After a while, he took off his coat and continued boiling water.


    Lin Wenxi was sitting far away. He saw sweat dropped on Zhao Yuan¡¯s bronze skin. It was a portrait of a masculine man with great artistic appreciation. He took out the drawing board and drew slowly.


    ¡°You, how did you find me?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s a coincidence. You¡¯re teaching in my hometown where I was born! My cousin always said about Mr. Lin¡¯s at home. I came to pick him up this afternoon and I saw you!¡± Zhao Yuan grinned


    ¡°It¡¯s a... fate...¡± Lin Wenxi gave a bitter smile.


    Zhao Yuan eventually felt too hot due to the fire, calling him, ¡°Come and cool me.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t move around, or you¡¯ll be painted as Wang Xiang.¡± Lin Wenxi said


    ¡°Wang Xiang has been miserable...¡± Zhao Yuan was quite speechless. ¡°By the way, Wang Xiang and An¡¯an almost broke up.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s normal.¡± Lin Wenxi did not raise his head. ¡°Your fickleness in love looks too fake, but his looks real. Won¡¯t it bring any problem?¡±


    ¡°Why am I fickle?¡± Zhao Yuan wiped sweat, took the towel thrown by Lin Wenxi and wiped it directly.


    ¡°Wang Ling, Hu Yucheng, Zhang Zi, Zhang Ke...¡± Lin Wenxi put down his brush and began to count.


    ¡°It seems that you look coldly as a bystander and know everything clearly. Then why don¡¯t you count yourself in?¡± Zhao Yuan said with a smile. .


    ¡°You and I...¡± Lin Wenxi could say nothing for a moment.


    ¡°How can youpare with ordinary people, my fairy beauty?¡± Zhao Yuan kept chuckling. He could not help feeling a little crazy when he was boiling water here in the hot summer.


    ¡°Gu Xi is the fairy beauty.¡± Lin Wenxi smiled secretly and asked, ¡°By the way, how was Gu Xi and Zheng Kai?¡±


    ¡°You go on drawing, and I¡¯ll tell you.¡± Zhao Yuan urged him.


    Lin Wenxi picked up his brush and continued to draw, showing great patience.


    ¡°They made up. Zheng Kai bought him aplete set of kitchen utensils and worked out all his roommates. He helped him pack up a special ce in his dormitory so that he could cook at any time.¡± Zhao Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°It¡¯s easy to bribe Gu Xi. If I were Gu Xi, I would have to ask him to return the statue of Goddess Guanyin to me and smash it up!!¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°I¡¯ll catch it.¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°You¡¯re not Zheng Kai!¡± Lin Wenxi was somewhat angry.


    ¡°I¡¯m better than him.¡± Zhao Yuan said smugly.


    ¡°In what aspect?¡± Lin Wenxi asked, only to see Zhao Yuan protruded his tongue and gently licked his lips. Lin Wenxi immediately got goose bumps, threw down his drawing board, and ran out.


    ¡°Eh? Why didn¡¯t you get angry?¡± Zhao Yuan came forward to see, but Lin Wenxi turned around and said nothing.


    Zhao Yuan saw the drawing of him wasn¡¯t totally the same as himself. But people familiar with Zhao Yuan could recognize it was him. ¡°But why there are two furry ears on the head and I look like a Husky?¡± Zhao Yuan said solemnly, ¡°You¡¯re fascinated by the Inuyasha!¡±


    ¡°Does the Inuyasha look so ugly? Have you ever heard that Husky is the dumbest dog?¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°Me? Stupid?¡± Zhao Yuan smiled, fondling Lin Wenxi¡¯s slightly blushed cheek.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know. Are you hot?¡± Lin Wenxi asked with a smile.


    Zhao Yuan wiped his sweat and said, ¡°You go to the stove, then you¡¯ll know whether it¡¯s hot or not!¡±


    ¡°Are you tired?¡± Lin Wenxi asked again.


    Zhao Yuan nodded hurriedly.


    ¡°Show me your tongue.¡± Lin Wenxi said with a strange smile.


    Zhao Yuan showed his tongue in puzzlement.


    ¡°There already are threerge bottles of hot water. Mr. Husky!¡± Lin Wenxi pointed to three hot water bottles in the corner and giggled.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi! You¡¯ve gone too far.¡± Zhao Yuan thought that he was yed a trick on by Lin Wenxi. He rushed forward and pinched Lin Wenxi¡¯s neck. ¡°Take a bath first!¡±


    Lin Wenxi hesitated for a long time, but refused to move. There wasn¡¯t a bathroom in Lin Wenxi¡¯s dormitory. Usually, Lin Wenxi closed the curtains and the door, washed alone, then went out to see the starry sky for a while, and finally rested.


    Zhao Yuan looked around for a moment and said, ¡°You¡¯d better take off clothes directly. If you drive me out, there will be two holes in your window.¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t take a bath.¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°You¡¯ll catch a cold.¡± Zhao Yuan stepped forward and gently patted Lin Wenxi on his shoulder. He slowly took off his jacket and was about to untie his trousers when Lin Wenxi said, ¡°You turn back. I¡¯ll do it myself. No peeping!¡±


    Zhao Yuan turned his back, sat for a moment and turned his face. ¡°Wenxi, is it hot?¡±


    A scream came from the dormitory.

 Chapter 94 (What’s Your Condition?) Re-enter the Lin Family’s Defence

    <h4>Chapter 94 (What¡¯s Your Condition?) Re-enter the Lin Family¡¯s Defence</h4>


    Zhao Yuan lost the mood to enjoy the beautiful early autumn scenery in the countryside. He sped past Liu Lanhua and Cao Damiao and returned home.


    Lin Wenxi¡¯s calls had be his daily sustenance.


    ¡°Are you up?¡± he asked.


    ¡°Yeah.¡±


    ¡°Did you sleep wellst night?¡±


    ¡°Not bad. What about you?¡±


    ¡°I... slept pretty well too. Have you ate?¡± In reality, Zhao Yuan had been suffering from frequent bouts of insomnia ever since he came home.


    ¡°Yeah. What about you?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve eaten too. What did you today?¡±


    ¡°Reading... some stuff.¡± In reality, Lin Wenxi was reading his new university¡¯s brochure on admissions, rules, regtions, schedule, and so on. Lin Ziwei gave little exnation of these things and made him settle the rest.


    Dayster, Zhao Yuan finally reached the end of his patience.


    ¡°Is someone watching your home...?¡± he asked.


    ¡°My mom has been home due to the holidays and my dad also seems incredibly free these few days. Every now and then, Uncle Hong Xuan would patrol the area with a few men...¡± Lin Wenxi was feeling helpless. ¡°Do you know where I live?¡±


    How could Zhao Yuan not know? He had quite a few friends from all walks of life in Yangzi County, some from the Power Supply Bureau and the Telmunications Office. They were able to give him the address of a head of household called Huang Xiya. It wasn¡¯t the first, second, or even the third time Zhao Yuan had visited Lin Wenxi¡¯s home. Each time, Huang Xiya would entertain him with courtesy. Either that, or Lin Ziwei would persuade him to leave in a powerful but gentle manner. He truly had no more reason to visit Lin Wenxi¡¯s home anymore.


    But whether or not he had an excuse, Zhao Yuan decided to try his luck this time.


    ¡°I¡¯ll visit in the afternoon,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    Thus, in that bright and sunny afternoon, Lin Wenxi insisted to stay inside his room and refused to go shopping with Huang Xiya.


    The moment Zhao Yuan entered the door, he swiftly found the shoe covers and sat leisurely on a chair inside the living room. Lin Wenxi poured him a cup of hot tea. Lin Ziwei, who was reading the newspaper, raised his head to look at the uninvited guest. He waited for him to speak first.


    ¡°Uncle, if I return all the donated money, will you allow Wenxi to stay?¡± Zhao Yuan asked.


    ¡°It has nothing to do with money. It¡¯s true that he has helped you but he did so with an erroneous method. I don¡¯t care if the contributions offset errors. But his departure has no direct rtion to your issue,¡± Lin Ziwei replied.


    ¡°Our ssmates don¡¯t wish to see Wenxi leave,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°You¡¯ve made several visits as a representative of your ssmates. These are all not an excuse. Simrly, no excuse will work for him,¡± Lin Ziwei said frankly.


    ¡°After all, Jifu University is more suitable for him. Shouldn¡¯t a person who excels in both moral and studies like him be more suited to stay in a bigger world so he could further his studies and expand himself?¡± Zhao Yuan asked.


    ¡°No university is a person¡¯s ultimate future,¡± Lin Ziwei said.


    ¡°But any major decision can affect a person¡¯s entire life,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    Lin Ziwei looked at Zhao Yuan in surprise. He put down the newspaper and drank a mouthful of the tea. Neither indignant nor angry, he said, ¡°So if we know this decision is the right one, all he has to do is walk in the right direction.¡±


    ¡°The word ¡®right¡¯ leaves a lot of room for debate. You should say that the decision is made for his sake so all he has to do is walk in the direction that is good for him,¡± Zhao Yuan said, smiling.


    ¡°That¡¯s the idea.¡± Lin Ziwei affirmed his words.


    ¡°Then how is it good for him? He¡¯s an adult and has the right to decide his own path. Give him theplete right to exercise his personality and leadership. This treatment should be the best for him, is it not? What you think is good for him might not necessarily be what he thinks is good for him. So, wouldn¡¯t it better for him to make his own decision?¡± Zhao Yuan asked earnestly.


    ¡°Your words make sense.¡± Lin Ziwei gave Zhao Yuan an approving nce and smiled. ¡°An adult has the right to do anything that he wants, provided it doesn¡¯t go against thew and morals. But as they say, one can be a master even at a young age because he has learned the things earlier than others. And one can be a master in his field if he persists in it. When one encounters something soplicated that his young age and inexperience prevents him from making a sound decision, it¡¯s necessary for a senior to help him make certain decisions. Do you agree?¡±


    ¡°I agree. However, I also believe that no one canpletely understand another person. Even though you¡¯re Wenxi¡¯s father, you might notpletely understand him. You might not fully grasp how much potential he has, how far his capabilities extend, and what his character is like. So, when you said ¡®his young age and inexperience prevents him from making a sound decision¡¯, that¡¯s your experience talking. It¡¯s not measurable by practical standards. It¡¯s a false proposition. Since that¡¯s the case, then the decision you¡¯re making for him is also a false proposition. Do you agree?¡± Zhao Yuan asked frankly and assuredly.


    ¡°Then, let me give you a standard. Let¡¯s take the incident of him helping you fundraise. He didn¡¯t have to use his grandfather¡¯s, my biological father¡¯s, name for the donation. He could¡¯ve just used your name. Even though it¡¯ll hurt your self-esteem, that¡¯ll so trivial as to not worth a mention when ites to saving your father! Do you agree?¡± Lin Ziwei asked.


    Zhao Yuan had no choice but to nod in agreement.


    ¡°If he is capable enough to understand you as a person, he wouldn¡¯t have acted so recklessly and given others a chance to exploit him. Rationally andwfully, he was asked to reveal the source of the donation. The conclusion was that he ¡®hadmitted a fraud¡¯ and in turn, affected and harmed his family. Your ssmates understood who is he doing this for but outsiders and the all-pervasive media didn¡¯t. And thisck of understanding and confusion were just ripe for others to manipte. They added fuel to the fire and hurt him, his university, and his family. If he was truly capable, wouldn¡¯t he be able to prevent the situation whereby three parties suffer a loss?¡± Lin Ziwei asked.


    ¡°He...¡± For a moment, Zhao Yuan was speechless. How could Lin Wenxi consider all that? Lin Wenxi was so focused on fundraising without hurting his self-esteem that it was impossible for him to be an old sly fox. His actions were all born out of an innocent desire to help. What would he do if he was in Lin Wenxi¡¯s position? Likely, he would at least have some misgivings and deal with things more cunningly. He might even ignore Lin Wenxi¡¯s so-called self-esteem. However, this was also where Lin Wenxi surpassed him in.


    Zhao Yuan gave Lin Wenxi, who sat nearby quietly, a meaningful look as he considered all these. For a moment, he didn¡¯t know what else he could say.


    ¡°He might make a decision under the assumption that it¡¯d be good for him but he might not be able to determine if it would be good for his family and household. Does a person lives only for himself?¡± Lin Ziwei added patiently.


    Zhao Yuan kept quiet. Sometimeter, he stood up and bowed to Lin Ziwei. ¡°As Lin Wenxi¡¯s friend, I¡¯m grateful that you took time out of your busy schedule to patiently talk with me. This proves how much you treasure Wenxi. Thank you.¡±


    Lin Ziwei nodded in approval but said nothing. Zhao Yuan had no choice but to nce at Lin Wenxi, and then again. Only then did he leave dejectedly.


    ¡°Your ssmate is not only quick-witted but can also think for himself. He¡¯ll be somebody in the future! You should stay friends with him and learn from him if it doesn¡¯t affect the overall situation. It¡¯ll bring you many benefits,¡± Lin Ziwei told Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi remained silent.


    ¡°What do you think about transferring to another province?¡± Lin Ziwei asked.


    Lin Wenxi lowered his head. After a long time, he finally shook his head with force.


    ¡°Your mother and Hong Xuan have exined why many times. If you insist on being stubborn, there¡¯s nothing we can do,¡± Lin Ziwei said as he made his way to his room. ¡°How can I bare my fangs if you don¡¯t leave, you silly child? And your mother is the greatest Achilles¡¯ heel of my life!¡± Lin Ziwei couldn¡¯t help sighing.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to go but I have no choice. Thank you.¡± Zhao Yuan nearly burst out crying after reading Lin Wenxi¡¯s short text message.


    Chen Wanxin was in near disbelief that this familiar number belonged to Lin Wenxi! She stared at the caller ID, not knowing what to do.


    For that period of a little more than three months, she had nearly given up. She had nearly thought that even if Lin Wenxi leaves, she had no way of being with Zhao Yuan.


    Ever since Lin Wenxi left, Zhao Yuan acted as if he had lost his soul.


    Even though he kept going to work, he would only leave for the pub every now and then. Sometimes, he even got dead drunk. It was to the point that gossip was swirling about his suspicious rtionships with the men and women who came to the pub. He would pick up men and women and dump them just as swiftly, causing their resentment to soar. This earned him the nickname ¡°yer Zhao Yuan¡±.


    Zhao Yuan continued going to ss, though he could be found sound asleep all year round. Unexpectedly, he even got hit in the face by the ball while ying basketball. Zheng Kai was so furious that he nearly called for a rebellion to evict Zhao Yuan from the court. ording to Wang Xiang, Zhao Yuan shifted from the top bunk to the lower bunk and even frequently wore that red jersey. It looked as if Zhao Yuan was indeed bewitched.


    He ignored all the girls and it was only when he was with Gu Xi that people would see his previous heartyughter.


    Every now and then, at a specific time, Zhao Yuan would disappear for one or two days like clockwork. Whenever he came back, he would gather his friends and drown his sorrows in alcohol. If not for the fact that his grades hadn¡¯t dropped to the bottom, that he once helped the subdistrict catch and deliver a thief to the university with fanfare, and the slow deduction of the course credits won from cing second in the cross-countrypetition, perhaps Zhao Yuan would be put on probation.


    Chen Wanxin was terribly worried about him. She wanted to have a talk with him but he gave her no chance. He wouldn¡¯t even look at her straight in the eye.


    Once summer vacation began, Zhao Yuan ran off to Beijing by himself and only returned to Yangzi County after visiting the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, townships, and universities there. But he was only back for several days before he went off to get drunk with a band of brothers. This continued until Zhao Ming gave him a firm beating with a club and shooed him off to the countryside to help his aunt with her farm work. Zhao Ming understood that whenever Zhao Yuan was down in the dumps, thetter would often stare nkly at the few photographs he took with his mother. Zhao Ming knew that once he sent Zhao Yuan to work for his aunt Liu Lanhua, who married a farmer, thetter would regain his spirit soon enough. Even though he was the biological father, Liu Lanhua¡¯s words were much more effective than his.


    Chen Wanxin pressed on the screen of her phone to answer an iing call.


    ¡°Wanxin, Wenxi is going to be sent to study at a university in another province. Do you have a way of making him stay at Jifu University?¡± Zhao Yuan asked.


    ¡°I don¡¯t. More importantly, I¡¯m not willing to.¡± Chen Wanxin couldn¡¯t help feeling irritated after hearing Zhao Yuan mentioning Lin Wenxi again.


    ¡°Tell me your condition,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°Would you dare agree to my condition?¡± In the early autumn, Chen Wanxin¡¯s voice through the phone made Zhao Yuan get goosebumps all over. A burst of cold air filtered into his skin and prated his bones. He couldn¡¯t help shivering.

 Chapter 95 (Cancelling the Placement Himself) Zhao Yuan Plots for Liu Wenxi

    <h4>Chapter 95 (Cancelling the cement Himself) Zhao Yuan Plots for Liu Wenxi</h4>


    ¡°State your condition,¡± Zhao Yuan said in a low voice.


    ¡°Be my boyfriend. And I want you to stop all forms ofmunication with Lin Wenxi!¡± Chen Wanxin said.


    ¡°Impossible!¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°Then it¡¯s impossible for me as well!¡± Chen Wanxin replied coolly.


    ¡°Wanxin, I have nothing but gratitude for you. I thought of many ways to repay your kindness but it¡¯s not something like being your boyfriend. A rtionship that exists only in name has no meaning whatsoever! Why will you slowly reduce the affection between us into dust? We¡¯re at least good friends, aren¡¯t we?¡± Zhao Yuan said sincerely.


    ¡°To me, you being my boyfriend in itself is the meaning of everything!¡± Chen Wanxi retorted loudly.


    ¡°The ¡®boyfriend¡¯ title is the most meaningless one in the world,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°I¡¯ll make sure that the title will be meaningful.¡± Chen Wanxin chuckled softly. ¡°So is that a yes or a no?¡±


    ¡°I can be your boyfriend but I want to remain friends with Wenxi. We... have always been innocent,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    Chen Wanxin tried her best to control her emotions and asked neutrally, ¡°Who¡¯d believe that? Will Zheng Kai? Wang Xiang? How about An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman? Gu Xi and Nannan even less so! More importantly, will Lin Wenxi?¡±


    ¡°Alright. I promise you. Our agreement willst three years!¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°I have another condition. After Lin Wenxies back to Jifu University, you must move out of the dorm. I¡¯ll rent an apartment outside and you¡¯ll live with me,¡± Chen Wanxi said.


    ¡°Impossible,¡± Zhao Yuan said forcefully. The reason he wanted Lin Wenxi to stay was so that he could see him and hear his voice every day. If he were to move out, he would rather Lin Wenxi move to another province. If worsees to worst, he would just meet Lin Wenxi three yearster. That was better than moving out of the dormitory and seeing Lin Wenxi only during sses and gatherings that thetter were frequently absent from. How could he endure this?


    ¡°You have no right to make conditions,¡± Chen Wanxin said.


    ¡°Forget it then. Thanks,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°Are you retreating to make an advance or are you truly refusing?¡± Chen Wanxin asked.


    ¡°I refuse!¡±


    Chen Wanxin chuckled. ¡°You¡¯ll ignore him even though you live with him. Zhao Yuan, he¡¯ll be in a lot of pain, you know? Can you stand it? This is a paradox.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you have confidence in yourself? I¡¯m your boyfriend now but you¡¯re asking that I ignore other boys. Won¡¯t you be degrading yourself to ask that?¡± Zhao Yuan chuckled.


    ¡°Not worried, are you? Fine. You can befriend him but you must move out and live with me!¡± Chen Wanxin said.


    ¡°Deal,¡± Zhao Yuan said solemnly.


    ¡°Tonight. Mo Capital. Let¡¯s discuss the details face-to-face,¡± Chen Wanxin said.


    Chen Wanxin wasn¡¯t the only one waiting for Zhao Yuan. Luo Yang was there as well.


    ¡°I believe there¡¯s no need to introduce Instructor Luo,¡± Chen Wanxin said with a smile. Zhao Yuan nodded. The three of them took their seats.


    Even after a round of discussion, they were unable to find a solution.


    Chen Wanxin spected that her father and Mo Qian had a level of influence in Jifu University but in her opinion, Lin Wenxi was very mysterious. She couldn¡¯t understand why Jifu University would send Lin Wenxi away as an exchange student. She thought that his punishment would involve things like putting out an announcement criticizing him or asking him to write a public apology letter. However, the punishment was strange. In making Lin Wenxi an exchange student from Jifu University, the diploma that he would receive after graduation would becking prestige. This would effectively mar his future. This matter was certainly not so simple.


    Did her father pull some strings?


    Chen Wanxin and Mo Qian had questioned the former¡¯s parents separately. Mo Qian inquired all of her friends and rtives about Jifu University. Yet, when they gathered the next day, they still couldn¡¯t find the reason why.


    ¡°Do you know who¡¯s making Lin Wenxi leave? Whether rationally or emotionally, this punishment is too strange,¡± Chen Wanxin said, frowning.


    When Zhao Yuan muttered irresolutely to himself, she immediately said, ¡°Unless you really want him to leave, tell me everything that you know.¡±


    ¡°I think it doesn¡¯t matter who wants him to leave. We have to switch our focus,¡± Zhao Yuan said brightly.


    ¡°Speak.¡± Chen Wanxin handed him a ss of floral champagne imported from Paris.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to start from Jifu University. All we need to do is find the other exchange student. We can go to the university in the other province and get the student to cancel his or her cement. I¡¯m sure the cement has been decided a long time ago and the university won¡¯t be able to find a recement so quickly. That way, Wenxi won¡¯t have to leave,¡± Zhao Yuan said confidently.


    Chen Wanxin couldn¡¯t help giving Zhao Yuan a thumbs-up. She threw a nce at Luo Yang and thetter immediately nodded and started singing praises of Zhao Yuan. ¡°Your ssmate is really clever!¡±


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, just think of the many great things we can achieve in the future if we work together from now on!¡± Chen Wanxin¡¯s gaze lingered on Zhao Yuan¡¯s unfathomable pupils. Under the influence of the alcohol, she became engrossed in his eyes. How could such a man not belong to her?


    ¡°You¡¯re too polite with yourpliments. I¡¯m just an ordinary person. Since we all agree that we¡¯re moving in the right direction, I¡¯ll leave the rest to you.¡± Zhao Yuan toasted Luo Yang and Chen Wanxin and drained his ss in one gulp.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, Lin Wenxi will be in a very dire situation if he finds out about our agreement. I don¡¯t know what I¡¯ll do,¡± Chen Wanxin said, smiling. She crushed a cherry until it burst, sending the juice flying everywhere.


    ¡°Whatever is it that you do, I¡¯ll repay in tenfold!¡± Zhao Yuan sneered and walked away withrge strides.


    ¡°Eldest Miss, you¡¯re doing him an enormous favor. Boss Mo will have to act personally for this,¡± Luo Yang said respectfully.


    ¡°Naturally I¡¯ll convince him,¡± Chen Wanxin said disdainfully.


    ¡°But what benefit will Zhao Yuan bring you that you¡¯re helping him out this much?¡± Luo Yang asked.


    ¡°He¡¯s the son-inw of my Chen family. What benefit do you think he¡¯ll bring?¡± Chen Wanxin smiled and carefully wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin. She thought the fragrance of alcohol was particrly fresh and cool.


    To Chen Wanxin¡¯s surprise, Mo Qian swiftly agreed to her request.


    ¡°It¡¯s strange how agreeable you are today.¡± Chen Wanxin looked at Mo Qian astutely.


    Very soon, she understood why. Lin Wenxi wasn¡¯t an ordinary person.


    ¡°To think I¡¯ve heard nothing about this at all. Had you not tell me, they¡¯d really be able to fool everyone and make him an exchange student. Rest assured. I¡¯m even more anxious to keep him here!¡± Mo Qian said.


    ¡°Then why would you be so desperate to tell me Lin Wenxi¡¯s identity? Didn¡¯t you refuse to let Luo Yang tell me?¡± Chen Wanxin asked coolly.


    ¡°If you were left ignorant, you wouldn¡¯t be able to respond in time if anything happens. Continue what you¡¯ve been doing in university and guide that kid. If you make him suffer and turn him into a joke, that will be the biggest help you¡¯d give me. Then it¡¯d be much simpler to expel him. I want the reputation of the Lin family to reach rock bottom.¡± Mo Qian watched Chen Wanxin attentively, a barely discernible smile on his lips.


    Chen Wanxin shrugged with a calm smile. With a mischievous look, she said, ¡°We¡¯ll have to depend on my boyfriend then.¡±


    ¡°You and your feminine nature! But it doesn¡¯t matter. It¡¯s indeed a fine thing for Zhao Yuan to be your ideal husband but shouldn¡¯t you at least ask for your father¡¯s opinion?¡±


    ¡°The person I choose will naturally be the best.¡± Chen Wanxin then urged him, ¡°Uncle Mo, hurry up!¡±


    Soon enough, Luo Yang received Mo Qian¡¯s secret order. Before he left, he carefully asked, ¡°Boss Mo, aren¡¯t you being a little hasty in agreeing so easily to Eldest Miss¡¯ request?¡±


    ¡°Hasty? If we dragged our feet, he might really leave! If he remains under our control, Lin Ziwei will have to be wary of us. If he¡¯s not here, Lin Ziwei will be able act boldly and we won¡¯t be able to keep things under wraps anymore!¡±


    ¡°Are they already on the move? Is Lin Ziwei¡¯s chauffeur involved?¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about it. I¡¯ll find a way to deal with the one called Hong Xuan. And don¡¯t you think that I don¡¯t know about your feelings for Wanxin. I advise you to end them as soon as possible!¡± Mo Qian said.


    Luo Yang rubbed his nose, feeling embarrassment rise within him. Once Mo Qian began using hiswork, information on the other exchange student was swiftly obtained. The student was a merchant¡¯s daughter who was overjoyed after finding out that she would be attending Jifu University. However, the girl was suffering from a certain disease and her heart was in a less-than-ideal condition.

 Chapter 90 (That’s Also My father’s Name) The Past of an Officer Touched the Heart of a Teenager

    <h4>Chapter 90 (That¡¯s Also My father¡¯s Name) The Past of an Officer Touched the Heart of a Teenager</h4>


    When they finished speaking, both of them sank to the ground. Looking at each other, Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan smiled and then shook their heads. In an instant, they couldn¡¯t figure it out. ¡°Why did we run away?¡±


    They were very clear that it was not surprising that Zhao Yuan would never choose to abandon his father who had just recovered from a severe illness. While Lin Wenxi, even if he was willing to part with his parents for a few years, he knew he couldn¡¯t prevent Lin Ziwei from digging deep to find him. If that happened, everything would go out of control.


    However, if Lin Wenxi was back, when would they meet each other again? No matter how Zhao Yuan was good at making connections, he couldn¡¯t leave Jifu University and get transferred to the school that Lin Wenxi would go. Or Zhao Yuan could drop out of his school to apany Lin Wenxi in other provinces. But Zhao Ming was obsessed with the wish of Zhan Yuan¡¯s future sess, so he would never allow that!


    In addition, at present, it seemed that they had not quitee to the situation that needed them to escape from everything and give up everything.


    ¡°Live each day as ites.¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°Okay, live each day as ites! I will... I will think of a way.¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    Zhao Yuan carried all the wild vegetables on his back and walked Lin Wenxi down the mountain step by step. Lin Wenxi had meant to bounce around but at this moment he was extremely docile. He just let Zhao Yuan lead him to here and there. He always felt that no matter which direction Zhao Yuan went, it would also be his direction.


    When they were close to the house, Zhao Yuan let go of his hand. Zhao Yuan checked him three times until he was sure that Lin Wenxi was okay, he was finally relieved.


    It was a cool night. On their way back, Lin Wenxi enjoyed it a lot. They walked along a lotus pond, full of joy. Lin Wenxi threw a stone at the mirrorlike surface of the pond, and the stone skipped across the surface, leaving a string of lovely ripples. Zhao Yuan also threw a stone freely, and a much longer string of bigger ripples reached to the distance. The string rmed two water birds. They fluttered their wings and flew across the clouds. The shadows of the shattered thick clouds covered the ground. A bolt of lightning triggered by the birds shed across the deep sky.


    After that, there came the thrilling thunders. An unexpected gust of wind suddenly washed away all the hustle and bustle of the day. In an instant, the night fell like theing of doomsday. The trees not far away became blurred. A thunderstorm storm was just brewing in the dark clouds now.


    It was still far away from his aunt¡¯s home. Zhao Yuan immediately grabbed Lin Wenxi¡¯s hand. Following a vaguely recognizable trail covered with wild grass, they ran to the fisherman¡¯s farmhouse.


    Soon came down the raindrops as big as beans, dropping onto their faces and backs, rather painful. After a while, these raindrops turned into a hazy rain curtain. The road became more difficult to identify. Zhao Yuan had no other choice but to slow down, and he carefully strode across every ditch on the road.


    The wild wind with the heavy raindrops blew the grass and trees by the roadside hither and thither. Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi stumbled all the way. The raindrops were beating against their bodies. Zhao Yuan felt very painful, but he worried about Lin Wenxi even more. Thus, he took off his coat and covered Lin Wenxi with it. While he was topless and was busy in protecting Lin Wenxi, they were running wildly in the rainy night. When Lin Wenxi felt that Zhao Yuan¡¯s cloth was covered on his body, the pain on his body disappeared inexplicably, and waves of warmth and an impulse upsurged in his heart all of a sudden.


    This impulse made him simply tear off his coat without unbuttoning. He raised his cloth and called out with ease and satisfaction.


    At this time, Zhao Yuan finally set his heart at rest. It seemed that in the depth of Lin Wenxi heart lived another person, a teenager who was stronger, brighter and more open-minded.


    Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi waved their clothes all along the way. They were topless but they still disyed themselves in the rain. Holding each other¡¯s hands, they were whistling, running, and jumping. When the two approached the farmhouse, they even tightly held each other¡¯s hands and started to run in circles, shouting at the top of their voices. Eventually, with his arms over Lin Wenxi¡¯s chest, Zhao Yuan couldn¡¯t help but lift Lin Wenxi up in the air.


    Lin Wenxi felt that his whole person was in a serene and vast universe. The thunderstorm not only failed to stop their pace but let them fly all the way to the light in the dark night.


    The light in the dark night belonged to a fisherman¡¯s house.


    ¡°Teacher Lin!¡± The couple in the fisherman¡¯s house cheered for a moment. ¡°Many thanks to you!¡±


    Obviously, Lin Wenxi was not familiar with them. He kept searching his students who looked like the couple in his mind.


    The fisherman went to the bedroom and waked up his child who was already in bed. It turned out that he was Xiaofeng who gave Lin Wenxi a headache for a while. This child usually liked to bully the children in lower grades. Lin Wenxi let him understand by reasoning while moved him with emotion. It was unknown how much effort Lin Wenxi had taken to make him behave well. Originally, he had quite bad study and living habits. Thanks to Lin Wenxi¡¯s tight rein on him in the past few months, he had passed the semi-annual examination of the countryside in the town. Now he was able to enjoy formal primary education in the town.


    For a while, they had a pleasant talk together. After Xiaofeng had greeted them, the couple coaxed him to sleep in the bedroom. Then the couple came to apany Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan. They chatted about the rain that had dropped during all these years, the wind that had blown and the snow that had fallen.


    On the thunderstorm night, a few people, though young and old, they talked a lot about the ponds in the snow, the mountains, the lonely birds, the harvest after the snow, and the marten that came out to hunt in the snow. Someone said that if you heard a creaking sound from pine trees when they were crushed by the heavy snow, you could then find a lot of firewood in the mountains. It was certain that when the snow was falling heavily, the ponds would be covered with thick iceyers the next day. However, you could only see the iceyers at a distance and you couldn¡¯t step on the ice. Some wild birds which needn¡¯t fly south would peck holes on the ice. After that, they would wait aside quietly until the fish under the water couldn¡¯t hold their breaths anymore and get hooked automatically.


    ¡°There is plenty of fish below the ice. That kind of birds is very clever. One bite for one fish at a time. The shining white fish bellies were rolled over there. In the past few years, I have thought about raising some cormorants to catch fish such that we can have something to harvest even in winter. Thus, we won¡¯t worry about for the whole year. Perhaps we can also stock up a lot of the Spring Festival goods. Our child will go to school soon.¡± The fisherman became very happy when he talked about the days ahead. He added, ¡°This ce is one of the dozens of remote mountain areas in the town of the forest. It¡¯s true that when the officers and the people united as one, even the rivers will be a bit purer!¡±


    ¡°Uncle Wei? Since you called him uncle, the person should be about eighty or ny years old. He actually has the samest name as my father¡¯s!¡± Lin Wenxi smiled.


    The fisherman said happily, ¡°It¡¯s not like that. Uncle Wei is younger than me. He is called Uncle Wei only because we respect him a lot. Though he worked in the town, he often went to the countryside. It has been a dozen years since he was transferred. I will go to the town every year during the Spring Festival. His several cousins are still there, waiting for the preserved meat we make. In previous days, when he had an interview with people here, he liked the preserved meat made by my wife! It¡¯s a pity that I haven¡¯t seen him for several years. I heard that he had be a high-ranking official in the city now. It is a blessing for people in the city.¡±


    It looked like that Lin Wenxi had perceived something but he couldn¡¯t discuss it. Zhao Yuan suddenly understood but he didn¡¯t say it.


    At the thought of ¡°Uncle Wei¡±, the voice of the fisherman was louder and his courage also increased. He stood up and smiled, ¡°You should also have heard about him. Nowadays, there are fewer officers who are willing to bring benefits to people!¡± The fisherwoman was knitting a small and thin sweater for her child in silence at one side. She also nodded contentedly and added, ¡°Previously, all we knew was farming. As a result, if there was a disaster like a gue of insects, we could not survive. Uncle Wei led us to dug lotus ponds, build fish ponds and open fish farms. When the water was connected to the water in the Yang River, everyone saw an honest way to make a fortune. Being an official should truly have a great mind!¡± The fisherman couldn¡¯t help nodding with agreement. Zhao Yuan saw that Lin Wenxi¡¯s face became more and more solemn and he listened very carefully when the couple was talking about his father¡¯s previous things.


    ¡°What¡¯s more, even if he is in charge of education now and has be Director Lin and also the deputy secretary, he never forgets us who live in the remote and backward ce. You see that in every six months, the schools in the town will hold an enrollment examination especially for students in the countryside. Usually, the number of students to be enrolled is only four to five per vige in a half year. But this year, fifteen students in our vige managed to get in! Director Lin opened the gate of policy for us, and you are the savior who led us to stride across the threshold!¡± Obviously, the fisherman was still very excited.


    Lin Wenxi almost made a detailed inquiry about what his father had done in this vige in all these years. The fisherman and the fisherwoman certainly loved to share these things with him. So they told him all the things they could think about, including hearsay.


    Lin Wenxi suddenly understood the meaning that his father asked him to teach here. In the past, he had never thought about what it meant to be the son of Lin Ziwei.


    Somehow, the peasant woman suddenly mentioned, ¡°I heard that Uncle Wei¡¯s child is very naughty. But I suppose a naughty child should also have great achievements after he grows up!¡±


    The rain outside became smaller. Liu Lanhua had already called several times to urge them to go home. Now it was midnight already and it was still dark outside. The farm was too small to put up guests. Therefore, Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi stood up to say good-bye.


    The fisherman thought for a second and took something like a wooden stick off the wall. It should be a bamboo stick, the tip of which was tied with ck silk cotton. He sent it in the firece and turned a circle. After a while, mes wereing from the top of the bamboo stick and this torch with bright mes lighted up the whole room. The wind blew through the window, the mes on the torch swayed and jumped. This was the first time that Lin Wenxi saw a real torch.


    ¡°The shlight is out of power. I have to go to the market to buy a new one tomorrow. This stuff is old, but it is very practical.¡± With this, he handed the torch to Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan held the torch and pointed to a pile of flutes in the corner. Those were ready-made flute models but they were not painted yet. Zhao Yuan asked for one. The fishermanughed happily, ¡°It never urred to me that you also are interested in this. They were rough made by me. I still wanted to learn the skill from a good craftsman in the town and after I practice for half a year, I will sell my flutes in the city. If you don¡¯t mind, just pick up one!¡±


    Zhao Yuan picked a bamboo flute and turned around it for a couple of times. Fully satisfied, he led Lin Wenxi out.


    Soon after they went out, the fisherwoman saw some money on the stool that Zhao Yuan had just sat down on. They chased out quickly while yelling. However, Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi had long gone. The fisherman saw that the money was deliberately stuck in the crack on the stool. He knew in his heart that they intentionally left it behind. He said impressively, ¡°Nowadays, wherever I go, I can alwayse across nice people. It is to be regretted that we let two students help us. I feel quite ashamed of myself.¡± The peasant woman grinned. ¡°Take it easy. We need the money to send our child to school. The vige is not very big so we can find them sooner orter. We will return them the principal plus the interest then. In this way, we won¡¯t owe them a debt of gratitude!¡±


    The couple then talked about some trivial things of life for a long time, and they went to sleep.

 Chapter 91 (Grab the Torch, Play the Flute) The Torch and Flute Tunes Illuminate the Night

    <h4>Chapter 91 (Grab the Torch, y the Flute) The Torch and Flute Tunes Illuminate the Night</h4>


    It was still drizzling outside. Zhao Yuan raised the torch in his hand and the fire swayed in the fine rain. The two of them put on their clothes. Lin Wenxi¡¯s clothes were now dry but Zhao Yuan¡¯s clothes were still soaked. Only then did he recall that Zhao Yuan had ced his clothes in front of the campfire and his behind.


    Lin Wenxi touched thepel of his clothes to try and wring it dry. Zhao Yuan looked at him like he was aplete idiot.


    Out of the blue, Lin Wenxi grabbed his torch and ced it in front of him to illuminate the way. Zhao Yuan got dressed and chased after him. ¡°I think we¡¯re still get soaked in the rain walking the trail. Let¡¯s speed up.¡±


    Lin Wenxiughed. ¡°The saying goes that, ¡®Flowers are blooming on your way home, so enjoy them while ambling along¡¯ but look at you. You won¡¯t even let me catch a break.¡±


    ¡°The only thing blossoming now is rainwater. What¡¯s there to be happy about?¡± While tugging Lin Wenxi, Zhao Yuan sped down the trail. Inadvertently, he spotted the crescent moon looming behind the dark clouds at the far end.


    Giggling, Lin Wenxi began running with the torch high up. The me illuminated his face, highlighting a pair of eyes that were lit up with joy. In the darkness of the night, his beautiful face gleamed as brightly as the moon hanging high in the sky. Zhao Yuan smiled. He pressed gently on the flute in his hand, his fingers dancing up and down. A mellow and melodious song reverberated all around the trail and the sky.


    Lin Wenxi was surprised by his flute-ying skills. Moreover, he could tell that he was ying the song ¡°Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon¡±.


    With its gentle rhythm that gave way to a cadence toward the end, Lin Wenxi felt like he could hear the vicissitudes of life and overwhelming sorrow of parting from the song. Perhaps, the song also spoke of a kind of mncholic blessing.


    Lin Wenxi¡¯s footsteps gradually quietened. A faint smile danced on his lips.


    Their wind-swept hair danced in the air. In the quiet and empty sky, the moon suddenly brightened as if it had been awakened. The weather was clear when the full moon abruptly arrived and showered the world with rays of moonlight. Fireflies fluttered in the clear night, their light crisscrossing and swirling in the air. In a limpid, insignificant pocket of the universe, the two of them walked as freely as the air through the wilderness. One led the way with a torch in hand, a pair of clear eyes, and an engrossed expression on his face. The other took the rear, ying a song on the flute that sounded as distant as a flowing river. The tunes ovepped again and again, rising and dipping as the song continued. The song made them feel like space-time had all but disappeared here. Even the fleeting time felt like it hade to a standstill, making them feel as if there was no end to their journey.


    The colorful clouds had different meanings; the bright moon was elegant. The bright moon and the colorful clouds depended on each other to illuminate the sky, mountains, flowers, and flowing rivers. Lin Wenxi, who took the lead with his raised torch, listened to such a song and stared at such a person. He threw his arms wide open and strolled through the wilderness under the drizzle. Even if it was nighttime, he felt as if he could see the rainbow in the bright sky. Zhao Yuan was smiling with an asional raised eyebrow. Following the rhythm of the song, he sometimes walked a few paces faster and sometimes moved slowly. One led the way with a torch in hand, while the other yed the song ¡°Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon¡± on the flute behind him.


    The two of them ran back into the house but they were still engrossed in their mood. They sat shoulder-to-shoulder outside the house and stared at the stars that asionally showed themselves in the night sky.


    ¡°Look at the cluster of stars in the sky. They appear so close to each other but the reality is that even the distance between two of the nearest stars must be measured in light years. Even if we put together the distance we¡¯ll walk in our lifetime, we¡¯ll never cover the distance between two stars. Yet our life gradually slips away while we¡¯re still on our way to our destination.¡± Wenxi spoke pensively.


    He asked, ¡°Do you think we¡¯ll turn out that way when we leave separately?¡±


    Zhao Yuan chuckled. ¡°The stars don¡¯t have phones but we do. We can keep in touch...¡±


    Lin Wenxi was reminded of how Zhao Yuan would always have a way to pacify him. He could only smile helplessly.


    ¡°Wenxi, I¡¯ll find a way. I promise. Besides, even if... even if we can¡¯t stay in the same city for the next few years, won¡¯t we be able to make our own choices after we graduate, join the workforce, and earn our freedom?¡± Zhao Yuan said. His eyes were as vibrant as ever. They carried an irresistible force.


    ¡°Will you forget about me?¡± Lin Wenxi asked. He didn¡¯t think Zhao Yuan would be able to find a way to do so.


    Zhao Yuan stood up and wrapped Lin Wenxi¡¯s fist with his hand. He held tight onto his hand and said earnestly, ¡°I promise you that I¡¯ll be thest to ever forget about you! My good... good younger brother...¡±


    Lin Wenxi¡¯s lips trembled and he pulled his hand out of Zhao Yuan¡¯s grip. Suddenly, he pointed to Zhao Yuan andughed. ¡°Why does this feel like a scene out of a TV show, where the guy would always treat the girl who had a crush on him like a sister?¡±


    Zhao Yuan had more to say but he considered himself a scorpion right now, a scorpion that was pointing its stinger to painfully jab Lin Wenxi¡¯s chest. Before the stinger coulde into contact with Lin Wenxi¡¯s beating heart, he chose to restrain himself.


    Zhao Yuan had gradually calmed down as the day came to an end. He lost his previous panic and the urge to flee with Lin Wenxi. He knew that abnormal feelings had taken root between him and Lin Wenxi a long time ago. Yet, he also knew that once he pokes into certain issues, things would develop in an unimaginable direction. Perhaps, things wouldbust until all that was left were ashes. He understood that what would remain was waiting as well as time. If he didn¡¯t want Wenxi and himself to be repeatedly tormented by various issues, he should let everything end now.


    He smiled and said, ¡°Look. I didn¡¯t treat you like a sister, did I?¡± Then, he leisurely hummed, ¡°Sister Lin falls from the sky...¡± Lin Wenxi smiled but didn¡¯t reply. He picked up a wilted branch and tugged it across the ground. He was neither writing nor drawing¡ªbut it was as if he was scribbling someone¡¯s name.


    The tiled house built with mud-bricks was warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The window covered with a decorative film allowed light to pour freely into the house. Paper cuttings of the words ¡°Safe and sound¡±, characteristic to the country folk, were pasted on both sides of the window. They seemed vivid and lifelike.


    The underground heating tunnel was covered with dry straw that was harvestedst year. In the lower temperatures of the night, the faint fragrance of grass coupled with the smell of earth was both nostalgic and warm. Atop the dry straw was a thin, pleasantly soft cotton-padded mattress that the country folk made themselves as well as a newly-woven mat of reed and bamboo that emanated a faint reed fragrance. Under the heated brick bed was the water storage system. It would turn cold once nighttime arrived. When night fell, the source of light would be a yellowed light bulb covered with a bright red casing fashioned out of paste, the only one in the house. The entire house was quiet and tranquil. Coupled with the steam rising from the underground heating tunnel, they felt like they were on a bamboo raft flowing down a calm andrge river. At this point, the skylight on the red-tiled roof with a decorative film fixed on the ss was being moved. The moonlight poured into the house little by little through the skylight, gently and thoroughly epassing the heatable brick bed.


    Even deep into the night, the two of them couldn¡¯t find sleep even as theyy on the bed. Lin Wenxi¡¯s shoulder was pressed close to Zhao Yuan¡¯s. His eyes were wide open.


    ¡°Are you asleep?¡± Zhao Yuan asked softly.


    ¡°Not yet.¡±


    ¡°Why not?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t dare to sleep. I fear that the night would just pass once I wake up.¡±


    Zhao Yuan couldn¡¯t help sighing.


    Like him, Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t know how many days they still have. It would barely take any effort for a person of Hong Xuan¡¯s caliber to find someone in this small vige. It was only a matter of time.


    The two of them locked themselves in a tight embrace as they unknowingly slip into dreand.

 Chapter 92 (How Brief!) Unmasking the Act, Breaking East and West

    <h4>Chapter 92 (How Brief!) Unmasking the Act, Breaking East and West</h4>


    Lin Wenxi woke up early the next morning. He was just stretching his back when he got such a bad fright that he straightened his back. What he saw were none other than a furious-looking Lin Ziwei, a teary-eyed Huang Xiya, and a steely, expressionless Hong Xuan.


    ¡°No!¡± Lin Wenxi blurted out.


    ¡°No, how could we only have one day? How could our reunionst only one day?!¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t look ill!¡± Lin Ziwei sneered.


    Zhao Yuan stood behind her and gave Lin Wenxi a meaningful look.


    Lin Wenxi immediately understood what he meant. ¡°I was feeling under the weather when I met my university ssmate. That¡¯s why I decided toe here and rest.¡±


    ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you inform your Uncle Hong Xuan over the phone? Are you so ill that you can¡¯t even make the call?¡± Lin Ziwei asked coolly.


    ¡°After ending the call, I felt dizzy and had to lie down for a day. I¡¯m only feeling better now,¡± Lin Wenxi said. He was smiling but deep inside, he was shuddering. ¡°I was nning to call you immediately.¡±


    Only then did Lin Ziwei¡¯s expression mellowed. Just as swiftly, he steeled his face. ¡°Remember to keep us informed next time. Let¡¯s go!¡±


    Lin Wenxi was just making up lies. He didn¡¯t really think they would believe him and was surprised that he managed to survive this ordeal. Knowing that his alibi had likely matched up with Zhao Yuan¡¯s, he couldn¡¯t help rejoicing in secret. To make his lie even more believable, he gently ced a hand on his forehead. ¡°The countryside has better air. It doesn¡¯t matter if I stay here for a couple more days. Why don¡¯t you return first and I¡¯ll go back in another two days...?¡±


    ¡°You brat! I know what you¡¯re up to with just a raise of that tail of yours! Watch your attitude! We¡¯re leaving!¡± Lin Ziwei¡¯s face was filled with anger.


    Huang Xiya¡¯s sorrow turned into joy after seeing that her son was fine. She smiled and said, ¡°He won¡¯t befortable inside a moving car. Nothing wrong with letting him stay here for a couple more days. This ce is pretty nice. He had been working hard for a few months; it¡¯s no big deal to let him rest for a bit.¡± Lin Wenxi yed along and nodded.


    Coincidentally, Cao Damiao and Liu Lanhua were just done with their morning farm work. The moment the good-natured farmers saw so many people in their house, they jumped with fright. They hastily asked, ¡°A Yuan, are all these people your friends?¡±


    Zhao Yuan, hit by a wave of awkwardness, immediately tried to lead his aunt and uncle out of the house. Lin Ziwei said with a smile, ¡°We¡¯re Wenxi¡¯s parents. This kid came out to y but he¡¯sing home with us now.¡±


    Ca Damiao hurriedly but carefully put away his hoe and patted the mud off his body. He gently gave his wife a nudge and said, ¡°I see! So it¡¯s Teacher Lin¡¯s parents. Come,e. Please take a seat! Teacher Lin is amazing! Hey, wife, fetch the wine that I¡¯ve kept for a few years and ughter the hen to serve the guests! Hurry, hurry! Don¡¯t just stand there!¡±


    ¡°Please don¡¯t be so courteous. We¡¯re just about to leave. I need to thank you for your hospitality to my good-for-nothing son. We¡¯ll return another day to express thanks for allowing him to bothering you.¡± Lin Ziwei immediately stopped the simple and honest man. He asked with a smile, ¡°How¡¯s the harvesttely? Where are your children studying?¡±


    ¡°Pretty good! A new vige is being built and the roads are paved up to our doorway. They even distribute seeds and seedlings for free in the vige. We¡¯re rushing for the year-end harvest!¡± Cao Damiao said. ¡°Wa¡¯er? Well, Wa¡¯er is Teacher Lin¡¯s student. She managed to enter a primary school in town. She¡¯ll be going there once the semester begins in half a year.¡±


    Huang Xiya couldn¡¯t help smiling. Her husband would always steer the conversation back to his profession.


    ¡°That¡¯s great. I hope Wenxi wasn¡¯t being mischievous yesterday?¡± Lin Ziwei asked.


    ¡°No! A Yuan took him out to y. He was so happy!¡± Liu Lanhua walked toward the mass of string beans growing on the bamboo rails with a smile.


    Lin Wenxi¡¯s smile froze on his face.


    ¡°Thank you so much for your hospitality. We¡¯ll take our leave now.¡± Lin Ziwei left after shing them a bright smile. Cao Damiao and Liu Lanhua continued to be courteous. With a face full of smiles, Huang Xiya told the couple not to see them off. She didn¡¯t forget to shoot a re at Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi nced at Zhao Yuan. There were a million words that he wished to say but they were all stuck in his throat. He lowered his head and walked out of the door. Only then did he turn his head.


    Liu Lanhua and her husband saw them out of the door all the way to the footpath between paddy fields. They repeatedly tried to make Lin Ziwei and Huang Xiya stay for a meal.


    ¡°Uncle, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry and ask me to see them off.¡± Zhao Yuan stomped his feet.


    ¡°What are you daydreaming about? Hurry and see them off!¡± Cao Damiao gave him a nudge.


    ¡°You must yell for me to see them off. Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t a kid like me look like I¡¯m acting on my own ord?¡± Zhao Yuan said, frowning.


    ¡°How are you considered a kid? You¡¯ve always been opinionated since young. We¡¯re not too bright and can only y second fiddle to you,¡± Cao Damiao retorted.


    ¡°Help me put on an act then! Yell and ask me to see them off!¡± Zhao Yuan gnashed his teeth in anger.


    ¡°Huh? You¡¯re taking me seriously? Does a brat like you know how to respect your elders?¡± Cao Damiao frowned and raised his hand, wanting to hit Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°If A Yuan asks you to yell, then you yell! Don¡¯tze around! Him seeing them off is also a demonstration of our sincerity!¡± Liu Lanhua jabbed her husband¡¯s head. Cao Damiao swiftly yelled, ¡°A Yuan! Hurry and see Old Brother Lin and Teacher Lin off!¡± The farmer¡¯s voice was loud. Even though the trio were one hundred meters away, they heard him loud and clear.


    ¡°Look at that kid! He¡¯s acting like he¡¯s going to the market even though he¡¯s supposed to see them off! I¡¯m not done talking yet; why has he already run so far away?¡± Cao Damiao grumbled to himself while pointing to Zhao Yuan¡¯s back. The moment he started yelling, Zhao Yuan had already vanished like a wisp of smoke.


    ¡°No need, my friend!¡± Lin Ziwei turned around to respond but he saw that Zhao Yuan, with his forehead drenched with sweat, was already running over to them. He stared at Zhao Yuan with a grim expression and said, ¡°You two coborated so well that I was nearly fooled!¡± Seeing as Zhao Yuan was here, he had no choice but to take several steps away to let the youngsters have a chat.


    The four of them walked along the main road. When the trio was about to board the car, Zhao Yuan had no choice but to stand in ce and waved. He no longer had any excuse to see them off. He stared at Lin Wenxi turning around every few steps before finally entering the car. He saw how Lin Ziwei pulled Lin Wenxi into the car.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan!¡± Lin Wenxi poked his head out from inside the car and waved continuously at Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Goodbye, Zhao Yuan!¡± he yelled.


    ¡°Goodbye...¡± Lin Wenxi¡¯s voice suddenly turned hoarse. A stab of pain, along with that sorrowful voice, pierced deep into Zhao Yuan¡¯s chest.


    Zhao Yuan felt a tartness in his nose and his tears nearly fell.


    After painstakingly searching for Lin Wenxi for more than three months, he finally came across thetter by coincidence. How could he bear such their painfully brief reunion of no more than two days? How brief it was! How many months or years would it be before they meet again? Zhao Yuan could only see the way Lin Wenxi looked when they first metst year, with his head lowered shyly. He could only see Lin Wenxi¡¯s faint smile, his stubborn eyes, and his pained tears. Zhao Yuan was such a fool yesterday. Why did he say that he would take Lin Wenxi in as his younger brother? He felt immense regret eating at him. There were many words left unspoken. How could he have let Lin Wenxi leave just like that?


    ¡°Wenxi!¡± Zhao Yuan yelled. However, the car had already left the road and disappeared behind the mountain. He broke into a run, making his way to the mountaintop shortcut leading to the town. He ran without a care. It was as if the force in his body could take him to Yangzi County and to the end of the world.


    At first, he didn¡¯t think that he would be able to catch up to the car. To his surprise, at the mountaintop, he saw the car stopping at the formerpound of the countryside government office.

 Chapter 93 (I’m 7 cm tall) The Childhood Years of Childhood Friends

    <h4>Chapter 93 (I¡¯m 7 cm tall) The Childhood Years of Childhood Friends</h4>


    When Lin Wenxi¡¯s car drove past the formerpound of the countryside government office, he loudly insisted on getting down.


    ¡°I want to take a look! Just a look!¡± Lin Wenxi yelled.


    ¡°What¡¯s there to see?¡± Lin Ziwei¡¯s voice rose alongside his anger.


    Lin Wenxi swiftly lowered the window and poked his neck out. In a moment of desperation, Hong Xuan pulled up by the road and steadily stopped the car. After the car was unlocked, Lin Wenxi threw the door open and flew out of the car so quickly that his father couldn¡¯t grab him in time.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on, Hong Xuan?¡± Lin Ziwei asked, easing his tone.


    ¡°Brother Wei, I watched this kid grow up. His happiest childhood days were all spent here. Besides, the building will be demolished soon. Let him take a look so he can have something to remember it by,¡± Hong Xuan answered.


    ¡°You¡¯ve be sentimental.¡± Lin Ziwei was unhappy.


    ¡°Heh. Wenxi sometimes calls me his second dad, so I must have some right to educate him.¡± Hong Xuan smiled with some embarrassment.


    ¡°I agree,¡± Huang Xiya said, smiling. She pushed open the door and exited the car to go after Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi entered thepound, and then the innermost room on the right side of the corridor on the ground floor, absentmindedly. He had spent nine years of his childhood here and it took another nine years before he returned again. Entering this ce, he felt like he had once again be that inexperienced child. Was he four or five years old then?


    He found the familiar white walls and red-painted corners, familiar wooden door with mottled yellow paint and pale blue screen windows inside. The furniture inside the building was all different now. Perhaps, it would be more urate to say that even if the furniture hadn¡¯t changed, Lin Wenxi wouldn¡¯t be able to remember how they looked like anyway. He walked down the smooth limestone floor and found his childhood bedroom. Looking at it now, the room was much smaller than he remembered. However, the corner of the room was as spacious as ever. The wall was covered with messy handwritings made from charcoal pencils and mud-soaked wooden sticks. He had never allowed his parents to clean it up.


    ¡°A frog has four thighs...¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m 7 cm tall now.¡± It ought to be 70 cm. Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t know if he wanted to cry orugh after seeing his childhood handwriting.


    ¡°I¡¯m Yuan Yuan.¡±


    Lin Wenxi stared fixedly at thest line ofrge handwriting¡ª¡±Fangfang is my brother! He¡¯ll protect me!¡±


    Shock jolted him. Even his scalp felt numb. It was as if the time was rapidly reversing, turning him into that child not even a meter tall. The charcoal pencil handwritings were scribbled messily on the corner of the walls with shaky hands. Deep inside, however, these words contained his truest and purest desire. And the two neatly-written words at the end of the sentence¡ª¡±I will.¡± Those were the promise that Fangfang wrote down while looking steadily at him back then.


    Lin Wenxi reached out to caress the two words. He feared that he would smudge the writing, yet he also wished to touch them with force. For a moment, he didn¡¯t know what to do.


    His childhood memories grew manically like feelers. From the first time that Fangfang pulled him from behind the door to y, to the time Fangfang wiped his tears after he got a harsh scolding from his parents, to Fangfang¡¯spanionship through the four seasons. For a little more than a year, it was as if the two of them had never left each other. Who knew that they would instantly lose contact upon their separation, nevermunicating for the next 14 years? He suddenly remembered the white por tree he saw on his way. It was tall, lean, and strong with lush green leaves. Could it be the same tree that he and Fangfang nted?


    The white por tree was now more than 30 cm tall. Judging by the spot it was nted in, Lin Wenxi knew it was the same tree that they nted 14 years ago. Back then, he didn¡¯t know how to nt a seedling and tried to bury the whole thing in the ground. It had put Fangfang in quite a bit of panic.


    ¡°That¡¯s not a seed! How can you bury it?¡± That was what Fangfang told him back then.


    Suddenly, Lin Wenxi burst outughing¡ª¡±When this tree grows tall, I¡¯lle back and count the stars with you.¡±


    For every summer afterward, he would walk around the tree in hopes that it would grow as soon as possible. He evenpared their heights, wishing for the tree to soon grow into a tree tall enough for him to take cover from the sun. Only afterward did he realize that he himself was also growing alongside the tree. By the time the por tree was as tall as he was, he had to go along with his father¡¯s work transfer and move to the county town. Just like that, everything was gradually forgotten.


    Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes widened. He stared at the person under the tree in disbelief.


    That was once a child who liked being on his own, with his hands sped behind his back. He was now a youngster dressed in a fiery-red short-sleeved shirt and a pair of jeans, looking as sturdy as the white por tree. His handsome looks, bright eyes, tall nose, chiseled jaw, as well as the maturity and wisdom that were for a 20-something youngster could be found in his gleaming pupils. The only thing unchanged was that faint smile on his lips, partially concerned and partially helpless. No wonder. It was no wonder Lin Wenxi felt like he had seen him before when they first met. Even though things had gone through a million changes, the person remained unchanged when facing the current Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°It¡¯s you...¡± Though he had no proof, Lin Wenxi was sure that it was him¡ªZhao Yuan, who stood under the tree, was surely the person he had longed for more than 10 years. He had shown up when Lin Wenxi least expected him. As if a long-time desire was finally answered, Lin Wenxi was at aplete loss of what to do. Tears fell from his eyes.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± After seeing Huang Xiya¡¯s repeated failed attempts at persuading Wenxi to leave, Lin Ziwei got out of the car and grabbed his son¡¯s hand. He pulled his son to the car without another word.


    ¡°I¡¯m not a child anymore! My 18th birthday is already over!¡± Lin Wenxi said hoarsely.


    ¡°Long conversations bring no benefit!¡± Lin Ziwei grabbed Lin Wenxi and dashed to the car.


    ¡°Uncle Lin, I¡¯m the one who asked Wenxi to stay for a few more days. I admire him greatly and treat him like my real younger brother!¡± Zhao Yuan said. He couldn¡¯t help himself. He felt like he couldn¡¯t catch his breath and his forehead was drenched with sweat. His entire face was red.


    ¡°If you really think of him as your real younger brother, you shouldn¡¯t be his aplice in tricking us and allow him to donate in his grandfather¡¯s name! Student Zhao Yuan, you¡¯re smart and capable. You have a bright future ahead of you. I hope you¡¯ll take good care of yourself. Wenxi still needs to cultivate his character so he can distinguish right from wrong. There¡¯s no haste to have a reunion between ssmates. We still have a lot of business to attend to. Why don¡¯t you go home? Please ry my thanks to your uncle.¡± Lin Ziwei eased his tone ever so slightly, his voice carrying only power and no anger.


    ¡°Fangfang, Fangfang...¡± Lin Wenxi loudly called for Zhao Yuan, his voice gradually turning distant.


    ¡°Fangfang?¡± Zhao Yuan looked around and saw no girl around him. Then, he returned his gaze to the car and watched it drive away.


    ¡°He¡¯s my childhood ymate, Fangfang. Remember him? The boy who used to y with me,¡± Lin Wenxi kept saying throughout the car ride.


    After racking her brain for some time, Huang Xiya finally said, ¡°Back then, your father and Uncle Hong Xuan were always away on business trips. I suppose they haven¡¯t met him. I myself was quite busy too. I don¡¯t have much of an impression.¡±


    ¡°But you ought to remember that my ymate was called Fangfang,¡± Lin Wenxi said hopefully.


    Huang Xiya shook her head. ¡°You did have a pretty close ymate then but that was more than 10 years ago. I really can¡¯t recall his name or appearance but I¡¯m sure he¡¯s not called Fangfang. Besides, he¡¯s the son of our rather affluent neighbors. I don¡¯t think your ssmate resembles him.¡±


    ¡°Then, do you remember if his surname is Zhao?¡± Lin Wenxi continued to ask.


    Huang Xiya shook her head. ¡°I¡¯ve gotten old and my memory is failing me. I¡¯ve only met the kid¡¯s mother, Liu something Xiaomei a few times.¡±


    ¡°Then... Then was Liu something Xiaomei... was Aunt Liu a good cook? Was she especially good at frying fish?¡± Lin Wenxi asked, hanging onto one final shred of hope.


    Huang Xiya shook her head apologetically.


    ¡°I don¡¯t remember seeing you being this tenacious when I told you to trace our ancestry history and records!¡± Lin Ziwei couldn¡¯t help feeling a stab of anger.


    Lin Wenxi lowered his head and said no more for the rest of the car ride.

 Chapter 94 (What’s Your Condition?) Re-enter the Lin Family’s Defence

    <h4>Chapter 94 (What¡¯s Your Condition?) Re-enter the Lin Family¡¯s Defence</h4>


    Zhao Yuan lost the mood to enjoy the beautiful early autumn scenery in the countryside. He sped past Liu Lanhua and Cao Damiao and returned home.


    Lin Wenxi¡¯s calls had be his daily sustenance.


    ¡°Are you up?¡± he asked.


    ¡°Yeah.¡±


    ¡°Did you sleep wellst night?¡±


    ¡°Not bad. What about you?¡±


    ¡°I... slept pretty well too. Have you ate?¡± In reality, Zhao Yuan had been suffering from frequent bouts of insomnia ever since he came home.


    ¡°Yeah. What about you?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve eaten too. What did you today?¡±


    ¡°Reading... some stuff.¡± In reality, Lin Wenxi was reading his new university¡¯s brochure on admissions, rules, regtions, schedule, and so on. Lin Ziwei gave little exnation of these things and made him settle the rest.


    Dayster, Zhao Yuan finally reached the end of his patience.


    ¡°Is someone watching your home...?¡± he asked.


    ¡°My mom has been home due to the holidays and my dad also seems incredibly free these few days. Every now and then, Uncle Hong Xuan would patrol the area with a few men...¡± Lin Wenxi was feeling helpless. ¡°Do you know where I live?¡±


    How could Zhao Yuan not know? He had quite a few friends from all walks of life in Yangzi County, some from the Power Supply Bureau and the Telmunications Office. They were able to give him the address of a head of household called Huang Xiya. It wasn¡¯t the first, second, or even the third time Zhao Yuan had visited Lin Wenxi¡¯s home. Each time, Huang Xiya would entertain him with courtesy. Either that, or Lin Ziwei would persuade him to leave in a powerful but gentle manner. He truly had no more reason to visit Lin Wenxi¡¯s home anymore.


    But whether or not he had an excuse, Zhao Yuan decided to try his luck this time.


    ¡°I¡¯ll visit in the afternoon,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    Thus, in that bright and sunny afternoon, Lin Wenxi insisted to stay inside his room and refused to go shopping with Huang Xiya.


    The moment Zhao Yuan entered the door, he swiftly found the shoe covers and sat leisurely on a chair inside the living room. Lin Wenxi poured him a cup of hot tea. Lin Ziwei, who was reading the newspaper, raised his head to look at the uninvited guest. He waited for him to speak first.


    ¡°Uncle, if I return all the donated money, will you allow Wenxi to stay?¡± Zhao Yuan asked.


    ¡°It has nothing to do with money. It¡¯s true that he has helped you but he did so with an erroneous method. I don¡¯t care if the contributions offset errors. But his departure has no direct rtion to your issue,¡± Lin Ziwei replied.


    ¡°Our ssmates don¡¯t wish to see Wenxi leave,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°You¡¯ve made several visits as a representative of your ssmates. These are all not an excuse. Simrly, no excuse will work for him,¡± Lin Ziwei said frankly.


    ¡°After all, Jifu University is more suitable for him. Shouldn¡¯t a person who excels in both moral and studies like him be more suited to stay in a bigger world so he could further his studies and expand himself?¡± Zhao Yuan asked.


    ¡°No university is a person¡¯s ultimate future,¡± Lin Ziwei said.


    ¡°But any major decision can affect a person¡¯s entire life,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    Lin Ziwei looked at Zhao Yuan in surprise. He put down the newspaper and drank a mouthful of the tea. Neither indignant nor angry, he said, ¡°So if we know this decision is the right one, all he has to do is walk in the right direction.¡±


    ¡°The word ¡®right¡¯ leaves a lot of room for debate. You should say that the decision is made for his sake so all he has to do is walk in the direction that is good for him,¡± Zhao Yuan said, smiling.


    ¡°That¡¯s the idea.¡± Lin Ziwei affirmed his words.


    ¡°Then how is it good for him? He¡¯s an adult and has the right to decide his own path. Give him theplete right to exercise his personality and leadership. This treatment should be the best for him, is it not? What you think is good for him might not necessarily be what he thinks is good for him. So, wouldn¡¯t it better for him to make his own decision?¡± Zhao Yuan asked earnestly.


    ¡°Your words make sense.¡± Lin Ziwei gave Zhao Yuan an approving nce and smiled. ¡°An adult has the right to do anything that he wants, provided it doesn¡¯t go against thew and morals. But as they say, one can be a master even at a young age because he has learned the things earlier than others. And one can be a master in his field if he persists in it. When one encounters something soplicated that his young age and inexperience prevents him from making a sound decision, it¡¯s necessary for a senior to help him make certain decisions. Do you agree?¡±


    ¡°I agree. However, I also believe that no one canpletely understand another person. Even though you¡¯re Wenxi¡¯s father, you might notpletely understand him. You might not fully grasp how much potential he has, how far his capabilities extend, and what his character is like. So, when you said ¡®his young age and inexperience prevents him from making a sound decision¡¯, that¡¯s your experience talking. It¡¯s not measurable by practical standards. It¡¯s a false proposition. Since that¡¯s the case, then the decision you¡¯re making for him is also a false proposition. Do you agree?¡± Zhao Yuan asked frankly and assuredly.


    ¡°Then, let me give you a standard. Let¡¯s take the incident of him helping you fundraise. He didn¡¯t have to use his grandfather¡¯s, my biological father¡¯s, name for the donation. He could¡¯ve just used your name. Even though it¡¯ll hurt your self-esteem, that¡¯ll so trivial as to not worth a mention when ites to saving your father! Do you agree?¡± Lin Ziwei asked.


    Zhao Yuan had no choice but to nod in agreement.


    ¡°If he is capable enough to understand you as a person, he wouldn¡¯t have acted so recklessly and given others a chance to exploit him. Rationally andwfully, he was asked to reveal the source of the donation. The conclusion was that he ¡®hadmitted a fraud¡¯ and in turn, affected and harmed his family. Your ssmates understood who is he doing this for but outsiders and the all-pervasive media didn¡¯t. And thisck of understanding and confusion were just ripe for others to manipte. They added fuel to the fire and hurt him, his university, and his family. If he was truly capable, wouldn¡¯t he be able to prevent the situation whereby three parties suffer a loss?¡± Lin Ziwei asked.


    ¡°He...¡± For a moment, Zhao Yuan was speechless. How could Lin Wenxi consider all that? Lin Wenxi was so focused on fundraising without hurting his self-esteem that it was impossible for him to be an old sly fox. His actions were all born out of an innocent desire to help. What would he do if he was in Lin Wenxi¡¯s position? Likely, he would at least have some misgivings and deal with things more cunningly. He might even ignore Lin Wenxi¡¯s so-called self-esteem. However, this was also where Lin Wenxi surpassed him in.


    Zhao Yuan gave Lin Wenxi, who sat nearby quietly, a meaningful look as he considered all these. For a moment, he didn¡¯t know what else he could say.


    ¡°He might make a decision under the assumption that it¡¯d be good for him but he might not be able to determine if it would be good for his family and household. Does a person lives only for himself?¡± Lin Ziwei added patiently.


    Zhao Yuan kept quiet. Sometimeter, he stood up and bowed to Lin Ziwei. ¡°As Lin Wenxi¡¯s friend, I¡¯m grateful that you took time out of your busy schedule to patiently talk with me. This proves how much you treasure Wenxi. Thank you.¡±


    Lin Ziwei nodded in approval but said nothing. Zhao Yuan had no choice but to nce at Lin Wenxi, and then again. Only then did he leave dejectedly.


    ¡°Your ssmate is not only quick-witted but can also think for himself. He¡¯ll be somebody in the future! You should stay friends with him and learn from him if it doesn¡¯t affect the overall situation. It¡¯ll bring you many benefits,¡± Lin Ziwei told Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi remained silent.


    ¡°What do you think about transferring to another province?¡± Lin Ziwei asked.


    Lin Wenxi lowered his head. After a long time, he finally shook his head with force.


    ¡°Your mother and Hong Xuan have exined why many times. If you insist on being stubborn, there¡¯s nothing we can do,¡± Lin Ziwei said as he made his way to his room. ¡°How can I bare my fangs if you don¡¯t leave, you silly child? And your mother is the greatest Achilles¡¯ heel of my life!¡± Lin Ziwei couldn¡¯t help sighing.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to go but I have no choice. Thank you.¡± Zhao Yuan nearly burst out crying after reading Lin Wenxi¡¯s short text message.


    Chen Wanxin was in near disbelief that this familiar number belonged to Lin Wenxi! She stared at the caller ID, not knowing what to do.


    For that period of a little more than three months, she had nearly given up. She had nearly thought that even if Lin Wenxi leaves, she had no way of being with Zhao Yuan.


    Ever since Lin Wenxi left, Zhao Yuan acted as if he had lost his soul.


    Even though he kept going to work, he would only leave for the pub every now and then. Sometimes, he even got dead drunk. It was to the point that gossip was swirling about his suspicious rtionships with the men and women who came to the pub. He would pick up men and women and dump them just as swiftly, causing their resentment to soar. This earned him the nickname ¡°yer Zhao Yuan¡±.


    Zhao Yuan continued going to ss, though he could be found sound asleep all year round. Unexpectedly, he even got hit in the face by the ball while ying basketball. Zheng Kai was so furious that he nearly called for a rebellion to evict Zhao Yuan from the court. ording to Wang Xiang, Zhao Yuan shifted from the top bunk to the lower bunk and even frequently wore that red jersey. It looked as if Zhao Yuan was indeed bewitched.


    He ignored all the girls and it was only when he was with Gu Xi that people would see his previous heartyughter.


    Every now and then, at a specific time, Zhao Yuan would disappear for one or two days like clockwork. Whenever he came back, he would gather his friends and drown his sorrows in alcohol. If not for the fact that his grades hadn¡¯t dropped to the bottom, that he once helped the subdistrict catch and deliver a thief to the university with fanfare, and the slow deduction of the course credits won from cing second in the cross-countrypetition, perhaps Zhao Yuan would be put on probation.


    Chen Wanxin was terribly worried about him. She wanted to have a talk with him but he gave her no chance. He wouldn¡¯t even look at her straight in the eye.


    Once summer vacation began, Zhao Yuan ran off to Beijing by himself and only returned to Yangzi County after visiting the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, townships, and universities there. But he was only back for several days before he went off to get drunk with a band of brothers. This continued until Zhao Ming gave him a firm beating with a club and shooed him off to the countryside to help his aunt with her farm work. Zhao Ming understood that whenever Zhao Yuan was down in the dumps, thetter would often stare nkly at the few photographs he took with his mother. Zhao Ming knew that once he sent Zhao Yuan to work for his aunt Liu Lanhua, who married a farmer, thetter would regain his spirit soon enough. Even though he was the biological father, Liu Lanhua¡¯s words were much more effective than his.


    Chen Wanxin pressed on the screen of her phone to answer an iing call.


    ¡°Wanxin, Wenxi is going to be sent to study at a university in another province. Do you have a way of making him stay at Jifu University?¡± Zhao Yuan asked.


    ¡°I don¡¯t. More importantly, I¡¯m not willing to.¡± Chen Wanxin couldn¡¯t help feeling irritated after hearing Zhao Yuan mentioning Lin Wenxi again.


    ¡°Tell me your condition,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°Would you dare agree to my condition?¡± In the early autumn, Chen Wanxin¡¯s voice through the phone made Zhao Yuan get goosebumps all over. A burst of cold air filtered into his skin and prated his bones. He couldn¡¯t help shivering.

 Chapter 95 (Cancelling the Placement Himself) Zhao Yuan Plots for Liu Wenxi

    <h4>Chapter 95 (Cancelling the cement Himself) Zhao Yuan Plots for Liu Wenxi</h4>


    ¡°State your condition,¡± Zhao Yuan said in a low voice.


    ¡°Be my boyfriend. And I want you to stop all forms ofmunication with Lin Wenxi!¡± Chen Wanxin said.


    ¡°Impossible!¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°Then it¡¯s impossible for me as well!¡± Chen Wanxin replied coolly.


    ¡°Wanxin, I have nothing but gratitude for you. I thought of many ways to repay your kindness but it¡¯s not something like being your boyfriend. A rtionship that exists only in name has no meaning whatsoever! Why will you slowly reduce the affection between us into dust? We¡¯re at least good friends, aren¡¯t we?¡± Zhao Yuan said sincerely.


    ¡°To me, you being my boyfriend in itself is the meaning of everything!¡± Chen Wanxi retorted loudly.


    ¡°The ¡®boyfriend¡¯ title is the most meaningless one in the world,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°I¡¯ll make sure that the title will be meaningful.¡± Chen Wanxin chuckled softly. ¡°So is that a yes or a no?¡±


    ¡°I can be your boyfriend but I want to remain friends with Wenxi. We... have always been innocent,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    Chen Wanxin tried her best to control her emotions and asked neutrally, ¡°Who¡¯d believe that? Will Zheng Kai? Wang Xiang? How about An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman? Gu Xi and Nannan even less so! More importantly, will Lin Wenxi?¡±


    ¡°Alright. I promise you. Our agreement willst three years!¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°I have another condition. After Lin Wenxies back to Jifu University, you must move out of the dorm. I¡¯ll rent an apartment outside and you¡¯ll live with me,¡± Chen Wanxi said.


    ¡°Impossible,¡± Zhao Yuan said forcefully. The reason he wanted Lin Wenxi to stay was so that he could see him and hear his voice every day. If he were to move out, he would rather Lin Wenxi move to another province. If worsees to worst, he would just meet Lin Wenxi three yearster. That was better than moving out of the dormitory and seeing Lin Wenxi only during sses and gatherings that thetter were frequently absent from. How could he endure this?


    ¡°You have no right to make conditions,¡± Chen Wanxin said.


    ¡°Forget it then. Thanks,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°Are you retreating to make an advance or are you truly refusing?¡± Chen Wanxin asked.


    ¡°I refuse!¡±


    Chen Wanxin chuckled. ¡°You¡¯ll ignore him even though you live with him. Zhao Yuan, he¡¯ll be in a lot of pain, you know? Can you stand it? This is a paradox.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you have confidence in yourself? I¡¯m your boyfriend now but you¡¯re asking that I ignore other boys. Won¡¯t you be degrading yourself to ask that?¡± Zhao Yuan chuckled.


    ¡°Not worried, are you? Fine. You can befriend him but you must move out and live with me!¡± Chen Wanxin said.


    ¡°Deal,¡± Zhao Yuan said solemnly.


    ¡°Tonight. Mo Capital. Let¡¯s discuss the details face-to-face,¡± Chen Wanxin said.


    Chen Wanxin wasn¡¯t the only one waiting for Zhao Yuan. Luo Yang was there as well.


    ¡°I believe there¡¯s no need to introduce Instructor Luo,¡± Chen Wanxin said with a smile. Zhao Yuan nodded. The three of them took their seats.


    Even after a round of discussion, they were unable to find a solution.


    Chen Wanxin spected that her father and Mo Qian had a level of influence in Jifu University but in her opinion, Lin Wenxi was very mysterious. She couldn¡¯t understand why Jifu University would send Lin Wenxi away as an exchange student. She thought that his punishment would involve things like putting out an announcement criticizing him or asking him to write a public apology letter. However, the punishment was strange. In making Lin Wenxi an exchange student from Jifu University, the diploma that he would receive after graduation would becking prestige. This would effectively mar his future. This matter was certainly not so simple.


    Did her father pull some strings?


    Chen Wanxin and Mo Qian had questioned the former¡¯s parents separately. Mo Qian inquired all of her friends and rtives about Jifu University. Yet, when they gathered the next day, they still couldn¡¯t find the reason why.


    ¡°Do you know who¡¯s making Lin Wenxi leave? Whether rationally or emotionally, this punishment is too strange,¡± Chen Wanxin said, frowning.


    When Zhao Yuan muttered irresolutely to himself, she immediately said, ¡°Unless you really want him to leave, tell me everything that you know.¡±


    ¡°I think it doesn¡¯t matter who wants him to leave. We have to switch our focus,¡± Zhao Yuan said brightly.


    ¡°Speak.¡± Chen Wanxin handed him a ss of floral champagne imported from Paris.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to start from Jifu University. All we need to do is find the other exchange student. We can go to the university in the other province and get the student to cancel his or her cement. I¡¯m sure the cement has been decided a long time ago and the university won¡¯t be able to find a recement so quickly. That way, Wenxi won¡¯t have to leave,¡± Zhao Yuan said confidently.


    Chen Wanxin couldn¡¯t help giving Zhao Yuan a thumbs-up. She threw a nce at Luo Yang and thetter immediately nodded and started singing praises of Zhao Yuan. ¡°Your ssmate is really clever!¡±


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, just think of the many great things we can achieve in the future if we work together from now on!¡± Chen Wanxin¡¯s gaze lingered on Zhao Yuan¡¯s unfathomable pupils. Under the influence of the alcohol, she became engrossed in his eyes. How could such a man not belong to her?


    ¡°You¡¯re too polite with yourpliments. I¡¯m just an ordinary person. Since we all agree that we¡¯re moving in the right direction, I¡¯ll leave the rest to you.¡± Zhao Yuan toasted Luo Yang and Chen Wanxin and drained his ss in one gulp.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, Lin Wenxi will be in a very dire situation if he finds out about our agreement. I don¡¯t know what I¡¯ll do,¡± Chen Wanxin said, smiling. She crushed a cherry until it burst, sending the juice flying everywhere.


    ¡°Whatever is it that you do, I¡¯ll repay in tenfold!¡± Zhao Yuan sneered and walked away withrge strides.


    ¡°Eldest Miss, you¡¯re doing him an enormous favor. Boss Mo will have to act personally for this,¡± Luo Yang said respectfully.


    ¡°Naturally I¡¯ll convince him,¡± Chen Wanxin said disdainfully.


    ¡°But what benefit will Zhao Yuan bring you that you¡¯re helping him out this much?¡± Luo Yang asked.


    ¡°He¡¯s the son-inw of my Chen family. What benefit do you think he¡¯ll bring?¡± Chen Wanxin smiled and carefully wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin. She thought the fragrance of alcohol was particrly fresh and cool.


    To Chen Wanxin¡¯s surprise, Mo Qian swiftly agreed to her request.


    ¡°It¡¯s strange how agreeable you are today.¡± Chen Wanxin looked at Mo Qian astutely.


    Very soon, she understood why. Lin Wenxi wasn¡¯t an ordinary person.


    ¡°To think I¡¯ve heard nothing about this at all. Had you not tell me, they¡¯d really be able to fool everyone and make him an exchange student. Rest assured. I¡¯m even more anxious to keep him here!¡± Mo Qian said.


    ¡°Then why would you be so desperate to tell me Lin Wenxi¡¯s identity? Didn¡¯t you refuse to let Luo Yang tell me?¡± Chen Wanxin asked coolly.


    ¡°If you were left ignorant, you wouldn¡¯t be able to respond in time if anything happens. Continue what you¡¯ve been doing in university and guide that kid. If you make him suffer and turn him into a joke, that will be the biggest help you¡¯d give me. Then it¡¯d be much simpler to expel him. I want the reputation of the Lin family to reach rock bottom.¡± Mo Qian watched Chen Wanxin attentively, a barely discernible smile on his lips.


    Chen Wanxin shrugged with a calm smile. With a mischievous look, she said, ¡°We¡¯ll have to depend on my boyfriend then.¡±


    ¡°You and your feminine nature! But it doesn¡¯t matter. It¡¯s indeed a fine thing for Zhao Yuan to be your ideal husband but shouldn¡¯t you at least ask for your father¡¯s opinion?¡±


    ¡°The person I choose will naturally be the best.¡± Chen Wanxin then urged him, ¡°Uncle Mo, hurry up!¡±


    Soon enough, Luo Yang received Mo Qian¡¯s secret order. Before he left, he carefully asked, ¡°Boss Mo, aren¡¯t you being a little hasty in agreeing so easily to Eldest Miss¡¯ request?¡±


    ¡°Hasty? If we dragged our feet, he might really leave! If he remains under our control, Lin Ziwei will have to be wary of us. If he¡¯s not here, Lin Ziwei will be able act boldly and we won¡¯t be able to keep things under wraps anymore!¡±


    ¡°Are they already on the move? Is Lin Ziwei¡¯s chauffeur involved?¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about it. I¡¯ll find a way to deal with the one called Hong Xuan. And don¡¯t you think that I don¡¯t know about your feelings for Wanxin. I advise you to end them as soon as possible!¡± Mo Qian said.


    Luo Yang rubbed his nose, feeling embarrassment rise within him. Once Mo Qian began using hiswork, information on the other exchange student was swiftly obtained. The student was a merchant¡¯s daughter who was overjoyed after finding out that she would be attending Jifu University. However, the girl was suffering from a certain disease and her heart was in a less-than-ideal condition.

 Chapter 96 (She’s Dead?) Pulling off His Return to University and Burial of Trouble

    <h4>Chapter 96 (She¡¯s Dead?) Pulling off His Return to University and Burial of Trouble</h4>


    After packing his luggage and ordering bus tickets, Lin Wenxi was off.


    ¡°Remember not toe home often. Better yet, don¡¯te home at all!¡± Lin Ziwei said solemnly.


    ¡°Hm.¡± Lin Wenxi nodded but thought that it wasn¡¯t a bad idea to visit Zhao Yuan¡¯s home for Chinese New Year instead of his own.


    ¡°I¡¯m saying that you should avoid Yangzi County as much as possible!¡± Lin Ziwei emphasized. It was as if he could see through his son¡¯s thoughts.


    Lin Wenxi nodded silently.


    When his bus was about to leave Yangzi County, he sent one final text message to Zhao Yuan: ¡°I¡¯m thankful to you.¡±


    The reply: ¡°I hope it¡¯s not toote.¡±


    While he was still reading the text message, another person was receiving a phone call. Hong Xuan¡¯s face darkened after the call and his grip tightened on his Nokia phone, causing the keys on the device to pop out of their sockets nearly. Confused, Lin Wenxi stared solemnly at the typically calm and robust Hong Xuan. He became even more perplexed when Hong Xuan made him get off at the next stop and grab his luggage. Then, Hong Xuan went to buy tickets at the counter without another word.


    ¡°Return tickets?¡± Lin Wenxi noticed that the bus terminal written on the ticket was Yangzi County.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± he asked.


    ¡°Some issues cropped up with the other exchange student. I suspect other arrangements will have to be made,¡± Hong Xuan said solemnly.


    They left home in the morning and returned by noon. However, Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t feel rxed in the slightest. He suddenly recalled Zhao Yuan¡¯s text message: ¡°I hope it¡¯s not toote.¡± Could Zhao Yuan alone really pull this off? It seemed unlikely. He would rather believe this to be a coincidence. However, whatever it was, he ought to be able to return to Jifu University. He thought he should inform Zhao Yuan about this and happily ran off to make a call.


    ¡°What? She¡¯s dead? How did a perfectly fine person die?¡± Lin Ziwei was furious. ¡°Is this piece of news urate?¡±


    ¡°Yes. I got the news from my men over there. Everything¡¯s settled at the university but the youngdy suddenly passed away, apparently of a heart attack. My men have confirmed that she indeed had heart disease,¡± Hong Xuan said with certainty.


    ¡°F*ck! How could there be such a coincidence?!¡± Lin Xiwei flung the teacup in his hand to the floor with force. Hong Xuan¡¯s heart jumped when he heard his old leader cursing.


    ¡°Are your men reliable? I hope they didn¡¯t reveal any information,¡± Lin Ziwei asked.


    ¡°They¡¯re my brothers. They¡¯re absolutely reliable when ites to things like this!¡± Hong Xuan assured Lin Ziwei with a pat on his chest.


    ¡°Investigate it. Have them investigate the student¡¯s death with the local police and see if it¡¯s nature at work or humans pulling the strings!¡± Lin Ziwei said.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Another thing. Besides us, is Wenxi¡¯s ssmate Zhao Yuan the only one who knows that he¡¯s about to leave?¡± Lin Wenxi asked. ¡°And does Zhao Yuan know his identity?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure. I know that Zhao Yuan is the only one who knows aside from us. From my investigation, I know Chen Tianjiao kept his word about not letting his daughter Chen Wanxin find out about Wenxi¡¯s identity. Chen Wanxin has a fairly decent reputation in the university and I¡¯ve never heard of any major conflicts between her and Wenxi. So, the information should be secure from their end,¡± Hong Xuan exined.


    ¡°Investigate Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin¡¯s rtionship. Find out Zhao Yuan¡¯s background. Don¡¯t tell me he¡¯s just a university student. Considering his nature, Wenxi will be in a very precarious situation if he really wants to break thew.¡± Lin Wenxi punched the wall. Evidently, he was terribly vexed.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan and Wenxi are really close. They¡¯ve long dubbed each other brothers. Zhao Yuan takes care of Wenxi very well and even saved him during the cross-country practice,¡± Hong Xuan said.


    ¡°Is that so? Even so, we can¡¯t let down our guard!¡± Lin Ziwei said.


    Hong Xuan had more to say but when he saw how tightly knitted his former superior¡¯s eyebrows were, he swallowed the words that were about to leave his mouth.


    ¡°Wenxi and Zhao Yuan are a pair! They¡¯re very close even if they tend to quarrel. Zhao Yuan is always tagging behind Wenxi, buying him breakfast, and bringing him hot water. I once saw Zhao Yuan squatting down to tie Wenxi¡¯s shoces! He dotes on Wenxi so much!¡±


    ¡°Zhao Yuan got so much thinner in the few months after Wenxi left!¡±


    What did this imply? Hong Xuan could vaguely feel that something was off about the situation but didn¡¯t know exactly what it was. The fair and quiet child¡¯s words were unbelievable. Take his rtionship with Brother Wei for example. They were long-time blood brothers. He would throw his life for Brother Wei¡¯s sake withoutint but if someone were to ask him to buy breakfast, serve tea, bring hot water, and tie shoces for Brother Wei... He might not even be able to do such attentive and loving things for his wife. Considering this, Hong Xuan felt a terrible shock. Many years ago... someone seemed to have treated him this way.


    Hong Xuan didn¡¯t dare to ponder this issue. He hastily went off to do his business.


    Three months had passed since Lin Wenxi¡¯s departure. When the new semester finally began, midsummer had been reced by a hot autumn spell that regained its might. It was once again time for the military practice. Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan entered the campus together. Lin Wenxi finally smiled as he took in the scenery. When he stepped through the university entrance by himself on his first day, he never thought he would someday do the same thing with such a handsome and elegant young man beside him.


    The sweet scent of osmanthus and the pollen of Chinese roses filled the mid-autumn air. Two rows of shy, lovely chrysanthemums stretched from the campus entrance to the end of the world. The Chinese parasol trees that lined the street were lush and verdant against the quiet blue sky. Back then, he never found Jifu University to be this beautiful!


    Zhao Yuan quietly watched Lin Wenxi as they walked. Such times were wonderful. It seemed that fate wasn¡¯t unkind to him. But would he truly have to endure three years of painful waiting for such a moment again? How great would it be if Wenxi was simply an ordinary child? He felt as if his life would know nothing but happiness if he could always have this child with a smile throughout the whole journey.


    Before they could even warm their seats in the dorm, Gu Xi ran to Lin Wenxi¡¯s room like a little chick who had escaped its cage. She nearly touched Wenxi all over before saying serenely, ¡°Did you know there was a weirdo who came and asked about you after you left?¡±


    Lin Wenxi asked him to describe the weirdo¡¯s appearance. When he learned that the weirdo had a wide nose,rge ears, and skin as dark as Judge Bao, he smiled. Who would it be if not Hong Xuan?


    Wang Xiang grabbed Lin Wenxi¡¯s arm admiringly. ¡°It¡¯s said that lotus roots are hollow and white while the lotus flowers are stained with mud. Look at you! Why did you torture yourself to this state?¡±


    Even Zheng Kai dropped his usual indifference and asked after Lin Wenxi¡¯s wellbeing.


    Soon, the girls from the Female Dorm No. 419 also came. Shu Xiaoman insisted on giving Lin Wenxi an enthusiastic hug while Zhou Nannan exchanged greetings with him. The two were only content after making sure each other was fine. Zhang An¡¯an pointed to Wang Xiang and said, ¡°Your oblique tones and rhyme are all off! Why don¡¯t you just prostitute yourself instead of selling arts?¡±


    It was business as usual. Only, Chen Wanxin stared at Zhao Yuan with an elusive smile. She stood in a corner quietly.


    Zhao Yuan, as the president of the student union, wouldn¡¯t shirk his duty in the university¡¯s new admission assembly. Wenxi and Wang Xiang were tasked with creating a slogan for the assembly. The task of establishing an area for receiving parents was given to some earnest-looking female and male ssmates with proper manners. The task of establishing an area for receiving seniors was given to some lively and passionate ssmates, such as Chen Wanxin¡¯s dance team¡ªXiaoman and so on. The task of refurbishing the road signs, distributing the student union handbooks, and overhauling the water and power supply as well as bed sheets in the freshman¡¯s dorm, was given to students skilled in household electric appliances and machinery. Zhao Yuan also established numerous guide tours: one to exin the courses of Jifu University, one to help the freshmen with their luggage, one to guide visitors around the ssrooms, and one to exin the schedule of the military practice and the follow-up exercises.


    After a busy week, the assembly was finally over. The student union threw a drinking party to draw curtains on the whole affair. Everyone spent time calcting their umted merits while teasing the pretty girls they had just met. Under theputer, Chen Wanxin looked at Zhao Yuan silently. ¡°Now that you¡¯re done with your business, it¡¯s time for you to make good on your promise.¡±


    Zhao Yuan nodded. ¡°I will.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 97 (I Never Promised to Sleep with You) Wanxin¡¯s Affection Meets Cold Rejection</h4>


    During the feast that Zhao Yuan threw, the bustle and joy of the new semester became water under the bridge.


    Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t believe his ears when he heard Zhao Yuan dere that he was dating Chen Wanxin. His former girlfriend had now be his current girlfriend. Chen Wanxin repeatedly toasted her friends as a way of epting their congrattions. In an instant, she became the center of attention of the feast. She was as lovely as the spring flowers blossoming in the ravine.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to toast me, Wenxi?¡± Chen Wanxin smiled. ¡°I remember clearly what you once told me.¡±


    ¡°Why... aren¡¯t you celebrating with Zheng Kai?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°Well, initially we weren¡¯t able to arrange this feast but Zheng Kai took charge and got things settled. I¡¯ve already expressed my thanks to him. Moreover, the skilled pianist I invited will arrive in a moment. The pianist will add to our enjoyment.¡± Smiling, Chen Wanxin raised her wine cup to the corner of Lin Wenxi¡¯s mouth. ¡°In the few months that you were away, I¡¯m the one showing him concern and taking care of him. In the past, that was my role. In the future, it will continue to be my role.¡±


    Subconsciously, Lin Wenxi felt his entire body go cold. They were once again together, but how could people believe in a love without reason and feelings without a trace? How could anyone notice the uneasiness hidden under the shadows of Zhao Yuan¡¯s delighted eyes?


    That was right. Didn¡¯t Zhao Yuan call him his younger brother? How could he know the private affairs between him and her? Perhaps, Zhao Yuan felt a deep and profound friendship for him, and not... Then, how should he exin the gentleness exchanged between the tip of their tongues and the heavy, boorish affection that evening when they slept in the rain-enveloped vige? That was right. Zhao Yuan only knew that he was bothered by all these and that he himself was unwilling. Did Zhao Yuan think that he was against it? Would their feelings rise and die in the same ce? He once believed that he would be unable to see Zhao Yuan again in his life but unexpectedly, heavens took sympathy on him and allowed them to stay close to each other. Perhaps, he should already be content with this situation.


    Once he understood this point, he came to understand everything.


    Lin Wenxi raised his ss and downed it in one shot to wish her a long and happy life with Zhao Yuan!


    The sound of the piano was intense, upright, and bold. A shiver ran down Lin Wenxi¡¯s spine. Who was that? Yun Che? Zhu Ziping? Were they ying as an ensemble? What had happened in the time that he was away? Everything became inconceivable and impervious to reason!


    Lin Wenxi raised his ss again, this time toward the two of them.


    The sound of the piano abruptly ended.


    ¡°It¡¯s been awhile, Younger Brother Wenxi.¡± Zhu Ziping beamed.


    ¡°Why are you two...?¡± Lin Wenxi opened his mouth but shock held his tongue.


    ¡°Since this is Zhao Yuan and his girlfriend¡¯s first public banquet, Wanxin invited us here to join the fun. Ziping prefers the quiet but when he heard that you¡¯ll be here, we decided toe and visit the kid! Where have you beentely?¡± A pleased-looking Yun Che looked calmly at Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°I went home to settle some family problems. How... did you meet Wanxin?¡± Lin Wenxi asked, somewhat astounded.


    ¡°Shees to the music store often. Not only does she introduces students to us, but she also rmends customers to buy pianos from us. All of the customers have refined tastes, too. We were still confused when she said she¡¯s a good friend of yours and Zhao Yuan¡¯s girlfriend. We couldn¡¯t be any happier to meet her!¡± Yun Che said, smiling.


    Lin Wenxi made a sound of acknowledgment pensively. He then asked, ¡°Is everything good on your end?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re fine. We¡¯re getting married soon. When the timees, please attend our wedding!¡± Yun Che said with augh.


    ¡°Of course.¡± Lin Wenxi raised his ss and once again drained it.


    When Zhao Yuan had sessfully applied to live outside of the campus, tidied his bed, and was about to leave, Lin Wenxi sat there quietly and sadly.


    What did he say earlier?


    ¡°Believe me. I¡¯m still me.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re still you, so you decided to leave me and move into Chen Wanxin¡¯s gilded nest. And why exactly have you decided to keep this from me?¡±


    When night fell, Zhao Yuan arrived in the home he would be sharing with Chen Wanxin in an intoxicated state. His things were already put in order in every corner of the home with Chen Wanxin¡¯s things. The spacious living room had every furniture and appliance they needed. In the middle was a 24-inch LED color television. A glittering chandelier hung over the living room, where the sofas were decorated with a Totoro pillow from Hayao Miyazaki¡¯s animation and a basketball-shaped pillow with tworge embroidered eyes.


    Zhao Yuany on the sofa, his entire being almost sinking into the cushion. Instantly, his backbone sank into the snug,nguid feeling and he nearly turned into a pile of mud. Suddenly, he sat upright in rm.


    ¡°Come and soak your feet in hot water.¡± Chen Wanxin carried a basin of water over and gently set it under Zhao Yuan¡¯s feet.


    ¡°Go... and get some rest,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    Chen Wanxin didn¡¯t answer him. She began helping him untie his shoces.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to do this.¡± When Zhao Yuan hastily reached out to stop her, a softness akin to a waters snake sank into his embrace.


    ¡°I¡¯m happy to do it for you,¡± Chen Wanxin said. She leaned over to help him out of his shoes but he swiftly lifted his feet to avoid her hands. ¡°I¡¯m used tozing around. I¡¯ll just sleep here.¡±


    ¡°Do you want me to do it or will you do it yourself?¡± Chen Wanxin spread her hands and stood up.


    Zhao Yuan quietly took off his shoes and socks and then ced his feet in the water inside the wooden basin. The basin automatically detected his feet and began gently shaking. The sawtooth-shaped scrub underneath began scrapping the soles of his feet. It was an incredibly satisfying andfortable sensation.


    A pair of lily-white hands reached for his feet and gently wiped his feet and ankle. When Chen Wanxin¡¯s soft hands brushed the back of his feet, Zhao Yuan grabbed her hands in a firm grip. ¡°Wanxin, you don¡¯t have to demean yourself this way!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re my future husband. How can I not do something like this?¡± Chen Wanxin shed him a pretty smile.


    Zhao Yuan endured the washing of his feet. After dumping the water from the basin and entering his bedroom, what he saw perplexed him.


    His basketball was ced somewhere within reach. The desk was filled with his books. The deskmp was decorated with a leopard cat-print shade and emanated a gentle but bright light. There was an ab machine, resistance machine, dumbbells, and even a steel bar meant for chin-ups installed on the wall. The furnishing was undoubtedly thoughtful.


    Zhao Yuan couldn¡¯t help smiling wryly when he saw therge bed. It was the only bed in the house.


    The air-conditioned room was cool and breezy. The lighting fixture set against the navy-painted ceiling was like a glittering gem against the sky. The orange-colored radiance was warm and the decor was charming. The intoxicating deskmp, wallmps, and cupboardmp resembled the moonlight cast on a sea of flowers. Smoke rose from the sea of flowers and an unknown incense smell reached his nose. Even a strong and unyielding young man like Zhao Yuan was hit by a drowsy spell. He felt his body be powerless and he wanted nothing more than to dive under the gold-embroidered goose-down silk quilt.


    ¡°Yuan...¡± Chen Wanxin called his name in a low and mellow voice like that of the cry of an oriole. With her graceful movement and bewitching eyes, Zhao Yuan couldn¡¯t help thinking, ¡°Evil spirit from the Silken Web Cave...¡±


    The cotton cape automatically slid off her body, revealing pronounced cor bones and an ample chest. Her bewitching and enchanting lips were the color of fire. Zhao Yuan felt the mes within him nearly burn him into a crisp.


    A bright-faced Chen Wanxin gently removed her clothing with her fair hands, exposing her delicate and exquisite body. Underneath her seductive andrge breasts, her heartbeat sounded like the tremor of earthquakes and tsunamis.


    It was as if she was intoxicated.


    She was waiting for her husband to take off the troublesome clothes covering his body, waiting for his muscled and sturdy arms, waiting for his lower half to give in to the temptation. For now, his body was at least hers.


    However, his eyes suddenly flew open and his pupils brightened. He abruptly shoved her aside.


    ¡°Hmph! I never promised to sleep with you!¡±


    He moved away from her and walked out of the room withrge strides.

 Chapter 98 (That’s a Boring Drama) A Jealous Zheng Kai Tricks Wang Xiang

    <h4>Chapter 98 (That¡¯s a Boring Drama) A Jealous Zheng Kai Tricks Wang Xiang</h4>


    ¡°Zhao Yuan! How dare you leave!¡± Chen Wanxin hastily adjusted her cotton shawl and ran out of the room, crying foul. Zhao Yuan was sitting on the sofa. He ignited his lighter with a snap, lit up a cigarette, and exhaled a long and deep breath of smoke.


    ¡°Wanxin, I don¡¯t think a boyfriend has the duty to sleep with his girlfriend,¡± he said coolly.


    ¡°I¡¯m not forcing you to...¡± Chen Wanxin said softly.


    ¡°I¡¯m not willing. I¡¯ll sleep on the sofa from now on,¡± Zhao Yuan replied emotionlessly.


    ¡°You!¡± Furious, Chen Wanxin walked back to the bedroom and mmed the door shut. For a long time, she couldn¡¯t cate her indignation. When she woke up the next morning, she found Zhao Yuan long gone.


    She considered this to be a small confusion in her overall n. Her n was to cook a frog in the boiling water but she had been too hastyst night. After pondering over this issue, she finally got an answer.


    It was another breezy autumn night with a bright moon hanging overhead. A spirited Zhao Yuan privately invited Lin Wenxi for a delightful flute-ying session by theke. Even though Lin Wenxi knew that Zhao Yuan was Chen Wanxin¡¯s boyfriend in name, Zhao Yuan continued to treat him like usual. Gradually, he let down his heavy heart.


    Feeling that he had not fully expressed himself, Zhao Yuan gave Chen Wanxin a call that night. He told her that he was preupied and wouldn¡¯t be returning. After thinking about it, Chen Wanxin called Zheng Kai and asked, ¡°Is Zhao Yuan drinking with you?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re ying Chinese chess and eating melon seeds in the dorm. Lately, we¡¯ve be cultured men,¡± Zheng Kai said distractedly.


    The phone call suddenly ended mid-conversation. A woeful Zheng Kai watched Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi ying Chinese chess. Lin Wenxi had given up his chariot, horse, and cannon pieces to make a clean swipe of Zhao Yuan¡¯s pieces. With three soldier pieces surrounding a general piece, Lin Wenxi had already backed Zhao Yuan into a dead-end. Thus, Zheng Kai said, ¡°Zhao Yuan, your wife is asking you to go home and sleep.¡±


    ¡°My wife is watching a Korean drama.¡± Zhao Yuan addressed a teary-eyed Wang Xiang who had his eyes fixed on theputer screen.


    Wang Xiang was unmoved and continued immersing himself in the Korean drama mission that Zhang An¡¯an assigned him.


    Zheng Kai titled his head to nce at him. Frowning, he said, ¡°That¡¯s a boring drama. The male lead dies in the end. Unable to ept his death, the female lead kills herself as well.¡±


    Wang Xiang looked up in anger. ¡°How will you know when you don¡¯t watch Korean dramas?!¡±


    Zheng Kai widened his eyes. ¡°I might not have watched this drama but Gu Xi did. She¡¯s always babbling to me about this. It¡¯s so annoying that my bird is shrinking!¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t believe me?¡± When Zheng Kai saw that Wang Xiang was sprawling over the table and ignoring him, he picked up the mouse and tapped lightly to select thest episode of the drama. Sorrow music began ying as a beautiful and pleasant woman passed through a cemetery and then copsed on the ground next to a bottle of poison. Wang Xiang looked away with his eyes closed. Zheng Kai raised his foot over Wang Xiang¡¯sp and locked thetter in his seat. Zheng Kai pressed Wang Xiang¡¯s head with a single hand and tugged thetter¡¯s eyelid open with his other hand, forcing him to watch a good five minutes. Tears fell from Wang Xiang¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Let¡¯s see if you¡¯ll keep watching something unhealthy and meaningless like this!¡± Zheng Kai said indignantly.


    Wang Xiang was momentarily silent and proceeded to run every episode at double the speed. Then, he opened a game application and continued ying.


    Zheng Kai was quietly watching Zhao Yuan when Chen Wanxin¡¯s call came again. She repeated her previous words: ¡°Has Zhao Yuan left the dorm?¡±


    ¡°Nope! He¡¯s kissing Lin Wenxi¡¯s lips!¡± Zheng Kai yelled as he nced at Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi who were chatting andughing non-stop with their faces close together.


    Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi looked up at the same time. The former wore a meaningful smile. He lowered his body and told Lin Wenxi, ¡°Why don¡¯t we give him a basketball? Yun Che doesn¡¯t exercise and looks sickly all year round. We don¡¯t know if he¡¯ll be able to make a baby with that silly girl.¡±


    ¡°You might as well give him a dumbbell!¡± Lin Wenxi said in annoyance.


    ¡°Good idea! Ziping will be grateful to you for her entire life!¡± Zhao Yuan said in delight.


    ¡°The jersey you¡¯re wearing is pretty nice too. Why don¡¯t you give him that as well?¡± Lin Wenxi pouted. Zhao Yuan swiftly covered the pit of his stomach. ¡°This is a jersey that a certain someone would be a thief to protect. How I can bring myself to give it away?¡±


    ¡°Enough. Let¡¯s get back to business. I think a set of teaware sounds like a good gift. Last time I was at Ziyun Piano Store, I noticed some of Yun Che¡¯s teacups were chipped. But I don¡¯t know if Sister Ziping noticed,¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°I say we give him something practical. I think a washing machine is a good idea. Not only is it durable, but it also saves them some money. Don¡¯t you agree?¡±


    Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan were engrossed in their quiet chat that they seemed to be ignoring Zheng Kai. They didn¡¯t notice the dark cloud cast over Zheng Kai¡¯s face.


    Zheng Kai saw that Wang Xiang waspletely absorbed in his game. Right then, Chen Wanxin¡¯s third phone call came.


    ¡°Bitch! If you want Zhao Yuan to go home and roll on the bed with you, call him! Stop pestering me!¡± Zheng Kai finally lost his patience and yelled at Chen Wanxin over the phone. Then, he pressed on the power button of Wang Xiang¡¯sputer. Wang Xiang sat dumbly in front of hisputer and stared at the dark screen while listening to the incessant scolding of his teammates: ¡°Wang Xiang! Why aren¡¯t you moving?!¡± ¡°You damned ck sheep! Don¡¯t you know how to dodge?!¡± He looked up and heaved a drawn-out sigh. Then, he ran out of their dorm and came back minutester with Gu Xi and Sangsang. He made Gu Xi force Sangsang change their beds.


    Gu Xi looked dumbfounded, not knowing what was going on. When she saw Zheng Kai lying on his bed with a grim face, she walked over to help tidy up his desk. She tidied his books and cleaned his ashtray. Seeing that Zheng Kai was still dispirited and saying nothing, she pouted and went off to help Lin Wenxie up with ideas for a wedding gift for Yun Che and Zhu Ziping. Zheng Kai continued to lie on his bed, asionally stealing nces at the three annoying fellows. When he thought of Chen Wanxin, anger rose in him. Dribbling a basketball, he ran down the stairs.


    Within seconds, the three of them heard Zheng Kai¡¯s voiceing from downstairs.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t let me leave, I¡¯ll smash the door!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the rules! Lights off and sleep at 11 pm! It¡¯s now over 12 am. Where are you going?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re not my grandson! Why are you asking me where I¡¯m going?¡±


    ¡°How dare you insult the housekeeper! I¡¯ll call the guards!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re never my grandson, so how is this considered an insult against you? If you were my grandson, wouldn¡¯t that insult you instead?¡± Zheng Kai¡¯s loud, mockingugh could be heard from the corridor of their floor. The three couldn¡¯t help trembling at the same time.


    That night, Gu Xi slept on Zheng Kai¡¯s bed in Dorm No. 216. Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan slept face-to-face on the same bed. Meanwhile, the sound of dribbling basketball echoed throughout the massive field of Jifu University.


    This continued for several nights. Finally, Chen Wanxin could no longer leave things be.


    Thus, the housekeeper brought a student to Dorm No. 216.


    ¡°From now on, Guo Liang from ss 1 will upy the top bunk,¡± the housekeeper said while covering his cheek and ring daggers at Zheng Kai, who was ¡°educated¡± by the university counselor. When he pped on a smile as sharp as a knife on his rough face and tried to talk, the housekeeper immediately escaped.


    Zheng Kaiy on the bed with both his feet raised high up and against the top bunk. He said to the neer Guo Liang, ¡°We don¡¯t wee you here. Leave.¡±


    Naturally, Guo Liang had heard of Zheng Kai¡¯s reputation. He had no choice but to call the housekeeper and wait in agony.


    ¡°Bro, this is a bed that the university assigned me. My previous dorm is under repairs...¡± Guo Liang looked pained.


    ¡°Do you need me to repeat myself? Don¡¯t you see that all the beds are upied?¡± Zheng Kai asked sharply.


    ¡°Let me stay the night, at least. Where should I go otherwise...¡± Guo Liang pointed to his tworge luggage hesitantly.


    ¡°Alright. You can stay the night.¡± Zhao Yuan jumped off from the top bunk with a smile. ¡°I¡¯ll rough it in the lower bunk.¡±


    ¡°Thank you. Thank you so much.¡± Guo Liang hastily moved his luggage inside and let it pile freely. Trembling, he climbed to the top bunk with a quilt in hand.


    Zheng Kai nced sideways at Zhao Yuan and cleared his throat. ¡°This beast is ying nice after gaining an advantage!¡±


    Guo Liang got such a bad fright that he nearly fell off the bed.


    ¡°What do you mean ¡®rough it¡¯?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°I mean you¡¯re going to have to rough it,¡± Zhao Yuan said, biting Lin Wenxi¡¯s ear. He sneaked his arm under Lin Wenxi¡¯s body and rested it behind thetter¡¯s neck, pressing them close.


    Amid a conversation with Zhang An¡¯an over the phone, Wang Xiang suddenly said, ¡°Thedy doth protest too much.¡±


    Guo Liang left the next day but Gu Xi was standing at the door of Dorm No. 216, hugging a quilt to herself.

 Chapter 99 (What Are You Doing Here?) Zhang Dong Confronted Lin Wenxi

    <h4>Chapter 99 (What Are You Doing Here?) Zhang Dong Confronted Lin Wenxi</h4>


    ¡°The university counselor has arranged Guo Liang to live in my dormitory and asked me to live here.¡± Gu Xi said timidly.


    ¡°That little bastard is so smart?¡± Zheng Kai beat the bed.


    ¡°You don¡¯t wee me?¡± Gu Xi asked.


    Zheng Kai stopped talking.


    Zhao Yuan once again jumped from the upper bunk and said, ¡°It seems that it is necessary to make ns for a long-term fight.¡± He then rolled to Lin Wenxi¡¯s bed.


    ¡°Wang Xiang, are you serious?¡± Chen Wanxin almost shouted in a hoarse voice.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°He does that every night?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, before Gu Xi came to the dormitory, brother Yuan only slept on his upper bunk, but now he sleeps on the lower bunk every day.¡± Wang Xiang said with a smile.


    He then hung up the phone.


    Chen Wanxin answered Luo Yang¡¯s call.


    ¡°Tell Zhang Dong that Lin Wenxi came back to the campus.¡± Chen Wanxin said coldly.


    On this day, Zhao Yuan was tempted by Zheng Kai to go out to y basketball with him. When Lin Wenxi was practicing calligraphy in the dormitory alone, Wang Xiang suddenly ran in and said, ¡°Wenxi, someone at the gate is looking for you.¡±


    Although Lin Wenxi was puzzled, he wasn¡¯t suspicious about it. He hurried to the gate, slowly approached and saw the figure standing under the sun. The guy had taken off his camouge military uniform and only wore a gray casual suit. He looked much thinner on his side face. Nevertheless, he stood straight proudly there like a statue of a door-god. He slightly knit his soldierly brows on his solemn face. His military appearance and figure was unabated.


    ¡°Zhang Dong, what do youe here for?¡± Lin Wenxi thought.


    Zhang Dong seemed to be unkind, but when he saw Lin Wenxi, his eyes gradually softened. He slowly walked to Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi hadn¡¯t seen Zhang Dong for a long time. Looking at his face, Lin Wenxi found that Zhang Dong seemed to be much more haggard. On his thinner face, there was a more upright nose, but his expression was iprehensible, showing that he was soft and seemingly disappointed at the same time.


    After his eyes drifted for a moment, his face suddenly became very gloomy. He grabbed Lin Wenxi¡¯s cor and roared harshly. ¡°Lin Wenxi! Let¡¯se straight to the point! You can beat me or kill me as you want, but don¡¯t y dirty behind me!¡±


    ¡°Make yourself clear.¡± Lin Wenxi looked at Zhang Dong without fear.


    ¡°You know what you have done!¡± Zhang Dong said, striding away.


    ¡°Zhang Dong, stop!¡± Lin Wenxi shouted behind Zhang Dong, but Zhang Dong just walked proudly without looking back.


    ¡°I am going to kill you now. Will you let me do that?¡± Lin Wenxi said loudly.


    Zhang Dong immediately stopped, slowly turned around and approached Lin Wenxi. With an extremely fierce face, he took a bright Swiss army knife from his waist, handed it to Lin Wenxi and ced it on his own chest, ¡°Do it yourself! Stab deeper!¡±


    Lin Wenxi put away the knife and said, ¡°I have done everything straightforward with a clear conscience! We haven¡¯t seen each other for so long, but you me me for something I¡¯ve never done as soon as we meet. What do you mean by doing that?¡±


    Zhang Dong pinched both cheeks of Lin Wenxi and said, ¡°Wenxi, you told me to serve our country as a soldier and die in a valuable and meaningful way! But you... It¡¯s my senior year and I¡¯m going to graduate!... Why did you... Why did you do this to me? No matter you want to beat me or kill me, I have noints. But you refuse to do that to me again and again... You...¡±


    ¡°Make yourself clear!¡± Lin Wenxi red at him.


    ¡°Yes, maybe it¡¯s not done by you. It¡¯s the monstrous crimemitted by me. I deserve what you did to me. I¡¯m too ashamed to ask you... In my lifetime, I¡¯ve never been afraid of death. I¡¯ve rushed forward wherever there was danger and received countless merits and glory. I thought that I could pay for my crime with them... It turns out that shame is shame, and sin is sin. I have to bear this for a lifetime, right?...¡± Zhang Dong let Lin Wenxi go. In that instant, he seemed like much older, slightly arching his back.


    ¡°Wenxi, I¡¯ve always been rubbish, right? Rubbish should go to those filthy and stinking ditches, right?¡± Zhang Dong walked step by step.


    Lin Wenxi felt several kinds of inexplicable sorrow. He firmly believed that he still hated Zhang Dong who had brought him countless nights during which he was too resentful and painful to fall asleep. Nevertheless, what had happened to Zhang Dong and made Zhang Dong be like this? What did it have to do with him?


    Zhao Yuan soon learned about what had happened on that day, and made the following analysis.


    ¡°y dirty, it means that Zhang Dong was framed by someone and me you for that. The only possibility is that a matter has been known by someone who shouldn¡¯t know it.¡± Zhao Yuan looked at Lin Wenxi, observing his reaction. Zhao Yuan was uncertain whether Lin Wenxi would strenuously resist if he brought up something.


    Lin Wenxi looked calm, which did not seem like a forced expression. Wasn¡¯t he angry? Lin Wenxi nodded and approved of Zhao Yuan¡¯s analysis. Zhao Yuan suddenly felt a little disappointed.


    ¡°No matter who knows the matter, it is bound to have a very serious impact on Zhang Dong, otherwise he will not say so. It only proves that Zhang Dong has lost the thing that he treasures with his life because of this matter.¡± Zhao Yuan looked a bit serious, and Lin Wenxi¡¯s face gradually darkened.


    ¡°What a soldier treasures with his life is nothing more than the honor as a soldier. It¡¯s possible that someone wants to damage his honor and spread this matter to his school. It may make him kept in school under surveince or even be expelled. I can ask Wanxin to learn about these from military instructor Luo. However, a one-sided statement is unconvincing. There must be some evidence to prove Zhang Dong¡¯s riotous life seven years ago. But who did that? Why? What is the evidence?¡± Zhao Yuan said, while thinking deeply.


    Lin Wenxi was shocked and appreciative of Zhao Yuan¡¯s logical inference, while worrying about Zhang Dong¡¯s situation. At the same time, Zhao Yuan grabbed his hair, wondering why he was so worried about Zhang Dong¡¯s affairs.


    Lin Wenxi was depressed, while Zhao Yuan found that he was like a deted ball which was unable to move at all. In addition to repeatedly telling Gu Xi to apany Lin Wenxi, he and Zheng Kai just attended sses and yed basketball for fun.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t fall out again with Zhao Yuan, right?¡± Gu Xi asked, ¡°When you were unhappy, didn¡¯t he suddenly be extremely cheeky to ask you to whip him? Why does he also seem to be unhappy?¡±


    Lin Wenxi¡¯s face gradually darkened, and he suddenly remembered that when he was tempted that night, he obviously wanted topletely blend with Zhao Yuan, but was seen through by Zhao Yuan. Although Zhao Yuan helped him analyze the reason, after all, did Zhao Yuan care about that? However, he failed to say that when he stayed with Zhao Yuan.


    Asked by Gu Xi repeatedly, Lin Wenxi calmed down as if he was unrestrained, and talked about the story between him and Zhang Dong seven years ago.


    Gu Xi opened his eyes wide at first, looked unconvinced, held Lin Wenxi¡¯s hand tightly and sighed. Seeing Lin Wenxi seemingly calm down, he joked, ¡°How I wish Zheng Kai could treat me like that.¡± Lin Wenxiughed involuntarily.


    Gu Xi said anxiously, ¡°I may not be able to think of a reason, but if neither you nor Zhao Yuan think through early, the small problem will turn into a big one and things won¡¯t work out between you! You should know that there is either no problem or a big problem between you!¡± He then asked again, ¡°Do you mind if others know these?¡±


    Lin Wenxi nodded seriously.


    ¡°Wenxi, no matter what happens, you must forgive me for what I am going to do!¡± Gu Xi said and hurried away.

 Chapter 100 (They Have Bought the Tickets) Touched by Sorrow

    <h4>Chapter 100 (They Have Bought the Tickets) Touched by Sorrow</h4>


    In the evening, Lin Wenxi received a call from Zhang An¡¯an whom he had barely contacted.


    ¡°The autumn breeze is cool, and stars fill the sky, but I have a lot of doubts. I want to ask you to help me figure them out. Don¡¯t refuse me.¡± Zhang An¡¯an said.


    On that night, Zhao Yuan was supposed to go to Wanxin¡¯s residence. Although Lin Wenxi was quite upset, he could not bear to refuse her, so he went to the yground alone.


    In the chilling night, Zhang An¡¯an and Gu Xi sat side by side on the stairs beside the court, looking at Lin Wenxi with a smile.


    ¡°Can you forgive him?¡± Zhang An¡¯an asked.


    Lin Wenxi frowned, nced at Gu Xi and asked, ¡°Who?¡±


    ¡°Zhang Dong!¡± Zhang An¡¯an said affirmatively.


    Lin Wenxi turned around and walked away.


    ¡°Wenxi, in this school and even the world, besides you and brother Kai, I trust An¡¯an the most. Please trust me in the way I trust you!¡± Gu Xi said loudly from behind.


    Lin Wenxi stopped, looked up at the sky, and came back to sit down again with a frosty face.


    ¡°No matter how angry you are, please get mad at us after we finish talking tonight. But now, please answer my question.¡± Zhang An¡¯an said sternly, ¡°Have you forgiven him?¡±


    Lin Wenxi had thought about this question countless times. He had thought about it when Zhang Dong almost rushed to the road to get himself killed for a word of his. He had thought about it when passing through the ck alley, which seemed to be possessed by nightmare, alone on the snowy night during Spring Festival. He had thought about it when revisiting the hills where he had experienced cross-country training. Now he was also thinking about it. Lin Wenxi shook his head. It was not that he didn¡¯t feel pain any more, but he buried it. Burying it didn¡¯t mean letting it go.


    ¡°The most intolerable thing for a person is being betrayed and hurt by someone who has the closest rtionship with him.¡± Zhang An¡¯an suddenly said.


    Lin Wenxi suddenly felt a shock.


    ¡°Until the military training was over, you have already regarded him as a very close person in your heart. Maybe he was not even less important in your heart than Zhao Yuan! Otherwise, why do you remember all the details with him? Thus, you keep thinking why it¡¯s him.¡± Zhang An¡¯an said calmly, and his eyes were as bright as the stars on the blue sky without being stained by dust.


    ¡°If it is someone else, I believe that when he held a knife and asked you for forgiveness, you will have stabbed him for revenge or forgiven him directly and stopped thinking and asking about it, because you don¡¯t care about his life or death at all. But it is Zhang Dong, a debt that you cannot avoid.¡± Zhang An¡¯an said heartily.


    Lin Wenxi thought about Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s words silently.


    ¡°This a hurdle that Zhang Dong and you can¡¯t cross. If you want to undo the knot in your mind, you must make it clear in a face-to-face talk. Otherwise, After Zhao Yuan was picked up by Wanxin because he drank too much tonight, there will be the second time and the third time. We all know that Zhao Yuan doesn¡¯t like Wanxin. Nevertheless, don¡¯t make him owe her so much that he has to pay it back with his life!¡± Zhang An¡¯an said.


    ¡°While Zhao Yuan is in trouble, you are duty-bound to help him as if you have turned into someone else. However, it seems to us that in normal times, he has always been the one who takes the initiative and leaves nothing untried. Have you ever thought that Chen Wanxin might be the hurdle between you and Zhao Yuan, but Zhang Dong is actually the hurdle between Zhao Yuan and you? Hasn¡¯t he seen how Zhang Dong treats you? Hasn¡¯t he seen how you treat Zhang Dong with such an experience? Zhao Yuan is the first-ss smart person I have ever seen, but sometimes he acts like a rogue and as stupid as a child in front of you. He may not be able to deal with this knot in his mind, so you should take the initiative.¡± Zhang An¡¯an grabbed Lin Wenxi¡¯s hand and held it tightly.


    ¡°Why do you want to help me?¡± asked Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°I¡¯ll tell you a story.¡± Zhang An¡¯an said and looked up. No one had noticed when Shu Xiaoman came over.


    ¡°I have a brother called brother Xi. When he was in high school, there was a boy who was very nice to him, but he didn¡¯t realize anything and treated the boy badly. He was very ignorant, but the boy was very mature. He once hurt that the boy so terribly that the boy wanted to leave school, but when the boy left, he realized that he was in love with the boy.¡±


    Brother Xi who had never left his hometown went to the provincial capital to look for the boy. After enduring numerous hardships, maybe it was destined that he finally found the boy. They lived a very happy and sweet life, studying hard and facing difficulties with a smile together. The boys even lived in brother Xi¡¯s home for a period during which he helped brother Xi with housework and dirty and rough jobs. They enjoyed every minute that they were together. Unexpectedly, in a basketball game, after winning the game painstakingly, the boy firmly held brother Xi in his arms, and they almost kissed each other. However, a boy who was jealous of brother Xi made their rtionship known to the public by writing it on the ckboard. As a result, brother Xi couldn¡¯t bear the prejudice of others. He became more and more reticent, even fighting with others, drinking and skipping sses, and finally suffered from nervous breakdown. He had to rest at home. Brother Xi took the opportunity to escape from his home under the strict guard of his father, and eloped with the boy. The boy drove him all the way to the urban area on his motorcycle. They stayed together happily in the urban area for two days. They had bought the tickets and decided to go to Guangzhou the next day. ¡±


    Zhang An¡¯an was slightly sobbing, while Lin Wenxi was speechless, listening very carefully.


    ¡°They were going to Guangzhou the next day, but when brother Xi got up early and happily and opened the door, he saw his parents. Brother Xi must be heartbroken at that time, so he kept arguing, crying and even attempting suicide. Finally, he calmed down and returned to school, but he failed to restrain his feeling at the first sight of the boy.¡±


    ¡°He frantically hurt and tortured himself. Finally, the boy didn¡¯t want to see him in pain and chose to leave school. Thest time they met, brother Xi wanted to give everything to the boy, but the boy was too tired because of everything on his shoulder. After a lot of things happened, he was doubted by brother Xi¡¯s parents and even beaten by brother Xi¡¯s father. ¨C But he was an orphan.


    ¡°He eventually knew that he might never be able to meet brother Xi and chose to leave the town. On the day he left the town, brother Xi took his schoolbag to return to school. Brother Xi only gradually learned about these after graduation. ¡±


    ¡°Afterwards, the boy has always considered that brother Xi already has a girlfriend and maybe is going to get married. However, brother Xi has waited for him for seven years during which they failed to contact each other because of the obstruction of the boy¡¯s friends. Finally, brother Xi attended his wedding after graduation.¡±


    ¡°After the boy graduated, no, I should have called him a man, he went to Guangzhou where he nned to go with brother Xi. He met his wife there, and they went to another city to work hard.¡±


    ¡°The man said that his the most regretful thing for him is leaving his hometown, but the least regretful thing for him is meeting his current wife. The man¡¯s wife is very beautiful and pregnant now.¡±


    ¡°Wenxi, do you know that they haven¡¯t contacted each other until now!¡±


    ¡°I once hoped that bother Xi could be brave enough to look for him, but brother Xi refused to do that. Later I gradually understood brother Xi¡¯s thoughts. If they meet, maybe the man could not be with brother Xi because of his family responsibilities, the rtionship between brother Xi and him will be doomed. Maybe the man decides to be with brother Xi, but he will carry the shame of abandoning his wife and child and can never live the previous happy life with brother Xi. Some things passed, and they are gone forever. You missed someone, and you miss him forever. As brother Xi said, he would rather live in the memory forever than let their story ended by time in reality.¡±


    ¡°They are not together indeed, but I can understand the pain and regrets they used to have, and they have to ept it. If they were braver, a little braver, how would the story end...¡± Zhang An¡¯an said and couldn¡¯t help but burst into tears.


    ¡°How is your brother Xi now?¡± Lin Wenxi asked with tears in his eyes.


    ¡°He?¡± Zhang An¡¯an looked at the south and said after thinking for a moment, ¡°Now he has been living alone in the city where they nned to go.¡±


    ¡°Go, Wenxi, go find him.¡± Zhang An¡¯an said, ¡°Don¡¯t ruin your present life because of the past.

 Chapter 101 (He is a scumbag!) Zhao Yuan and Wenxi Came to Visit Zhang Dong but Met No One

    <h4>Chapter 101 (He is a scumbag!) Zhao Yuan and Wenxi Came to Visit Zhang Dong but Met No One</h4>


    ¡°An¡¯an, what happened to Wenxi that you told him such a story? Who are they?¡± Shu Xiaoman could not help asking after Lin Wenxi and Gu Xi left.


    ¡°Xiaoman, you really shouldn¡¯t show up,¡± said Zhang An¡¯an.


    ¡°But when I came back from my history ss, I saw Wenxi walking towards the yground. So I followed him somehow, and I watched you talking here all the time. I just cannot help myself... I feel like I haven¡¯t spoken to him for a long time.¡± Shu Xiaoman whispered.


    ¡°Oh... It¡¯s hard for you.¡± Zhang An¡¯an sighed.


    ¡°But An¡¯an, what happened to Wenxi?¡± Shu Xiaoman asked.


    ¡°I promised I would never talk with anyone about him again.¡± Zhang An¡¯an said gloomily, lowering her head.


    Hearing this, Shu Xiaoman felt overwhelmed like experiencing lightning strikes, and she burst into tears, covering her mouth. ¡°An¡¯an, don¡¯t do that... I am really useless at all. Wenxi would rather talk to you than to me.¡±


    ¡°Wenxi only told Gu Xi, and Gu Xi chose me to deal with it. Wenxi originally intended to keep it to himself. We should respect him together, okay?¡± Zhang An¡¯an smiled, holding Shu Xiaoman¡¯s hand. Shu Xiaoman left with tears and hatred.


    Lin Wenxi unexpectedly disappeared again.


    Zhao Yuan angrily stamped his feet in the dormitory. Fortunately, after Wang Xiang repeated what Zhang An¡¯an said, Zhao Yuan ran away in a hurry.


    In front of Zhang Dong¡¯s military academy, Zhao Yuan finally saw the man who worried him all day.


    Military academies were not allowed to enter at will, and guards would not give a notice. Lin Wenxi still felt bitter cold from the brilliant sunshine to the nting sunlight.


    The cadet student on guard could not bear to see the scene. He brought him to the guard room and treated him to a meal. After asking for several times, they said that Zhang Dong had left the academy and his whereabouts were unknown. Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t know where to go. Since he ran out of money and could not buy the tickets to go back, he sat quietly on the flower bed near the school gate, dropping his head in a daze.


    ¡°Don¡¯t bother to wait. Mr. Zhang Dong left school before he graduated. It¡¯s almost half a year now.¡± the guard couldn¡¯t help saying.


    ¡°Are you looking for Zhang Dong?¡± A young man with a magnificent appearance suddenly came up. The guard tightened his stomach and threw out his chest, and saluted, ¡°Company Commander Liao!¡±


    Company Commander Liao nodded slightly.


    ¡°Yes, I am. May I ask where Zhang Dong, Instructor Zhang is?¡±


    ¡°He is not Instructor Zhang!¡± Company Commander Liao solemnly dered, ¡°He became a soldier in 16, and was enrolled in this school in 18. He was academically outstanding andpleted the courses in advance! He has made great contributions time and again. One year ago, all of us called him Company Commander Zhang, and he was granted captain in advance! If it had not been for the ident, he would have been the youngest major among us! But, he was such a dirty man. His achievements and abilities could not offset the crime of rapemitted by him! What¡¯s more that was a minor boy... If it were not that he couldn¡¯t be prosecuted ording tow, he would have been imprisoned until he became an old man.¡±


    ¡°Was there any evidence?¡± asked Zhao Yuan. He wondered why this happened suddenly since only Wenxi, Zhang Dong and himself knew what was going on with Wenxi at that time.


    ¡°There were anonymous letters and recordings. Besides, Zhang Dong himself admitted. Are these not evidence?¡± the man sneered.


    Recordings, Zhao Yuan thought... Maybe Zhang Dong got drunk and told to others. Then, I had no clues to investigate. But, why should I bother to worry about Zhang Dong? Zhao Yuan felt sad all of a sudden.


    ¡°When hemitted the crime, he was under age, so he should be innocent if sentenced.¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°You little boy know a lot,¡± that man smiled and asked, ¡°Why are you looking for Zhang Dong?¡±


    ¡°I want to know where he went after leaving the school,¡± Lin Wenxi respectfully asked even though he was impatient with the man¡¯s attitude.


    ¡°Where did he go? I don¡¯t know about it. Maybe, he is looking for the little boy who he had fun with in the past!¡± the manughed.


    ¡°You can¡¯t insult him!¡± Lin Wenxi¡¯s face turned red with anger.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that an elite became a scumbag who was cast aside by everyone! I also feel ashamed for him as his roommate!¡± Company Commander Liao said with a sneer and strode into the campus seriously.


    ¡°You!¡± Lin Wenxi was so angry that he clenched his fists, and Zhao Yuan hurriedly drew him aside, ¡°You must be crazy to make trouble here!¡±


    ¡°But he...¡± said Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t Zhang Dong like that?!¡± Zhao Yuan suddenly questioned, ¡°Isn¡¯t he disgusting and dirty?¡±


    ¡°At that time, you let him find me and let him hold a knife...¡± Lin Wenxi said coldly.


    Zhao Yuan sighed, ¡°You can¡¯t deny the fact told by thepanymander just because you and I had forgiven him.¡±


    ¡°But after all, he was under age at that time...¡± Lin Wenxi said with tears.


    ¡°Wenxi! I just want to know, what are you going to do if he shows up?¡± Zhao Yuan asked, ¡°Do you want to be with him?¡±


    ¡°No! For the sake of his past, which time didn¡¯t he risk his life to be out on duty? Which time did he care about his safety? During the cross-country training, he enlightened me time and again. How could I forget what he had done for me? If I had known all this, I would have hoped that he would not admit it personally. I hope that he will graduate at ease, stay in the army, fight for the glory as a soldier, and be what he wants to be! All he had made up for is enough! I moved on, and I hope he did too. Also, I hope you... move on.¡± Lin Wenxi witnessed Zhao Yuan, with his stubborn eyes suddenly turning into the lingering clouds.


    ¡°Did you really move on?¡± Zhao Yuan asked with a smile.


    Lin Wenxi nodded, and his eyes were gentle. He quietly stared at Zhao Yuan, looking at his brows, smiles, and eyes. He thought of his unpleasantness when he was in a strong mood that night. He hoped that time could go back, and he would not mind and resist, but would wholeheartedly ept Zhao Yuan¡¯s violent storm.


    Lin Wenxi hoped that Zhao Yuan could embrace him deeply at the moment and that Zhao Yuan would also say to him, ¡°I don¡¯t mind. I don¡¯t mind at all.¡± As Zhao Yuan said that night, ¡°You are not dirty at all.¡± He also hoped that Zhao Yuan would quietly tell him things between him and Chen Wanxin at this emotional moment.


    It should be a beautiful dusk!


    At this moment, the evening wind intoxicated the sunset, evening mist glow covered the ground, and the clouds flowedzily. The nting glow reflected on Lin Wenxi¡¯s face, and instantly turned into a touch of tender shyness. Everything was like Lin Wenxi, waiting in silence.


    Lin Wenxi had an urge to cry.


    However, Zhao Yuan blinked and suddenly pped his hand with joy. ¡°Continue to wash yourself and wait tonight!¡±


    ¡°You!¡± Lin Wenxi suddenly blushed. When the sunset fell on the horizon and night came, the feeling of affection just now turned into all kinds of resentment. Lin Wenxi made threatening gestures and ran toward Zhao Yuan.


    Zhao Yuan carried Lin Wenxi, and hummed, ¡°It¡¯s sunny, and the flowers are blooming.¡±


    Lin Wenxi remembered what happened during the cross-country training, and patted Zhao Yuan on his shoulder angrily. ¡°You seek revenge for the smallest grievance, and you are so narrow-minded.¡± But Zhao Yuan carried him and ran like a gust of wind.


    In the afternoon, in a ssroom of Jifu University.


    ¡°Why did you feel sad?¡± Chen Wanxin asked Shu Xiaoman. She found that Shu Xiaoman who gathered up with Zhang An¡¯an at other times, sat very far from her today.


    ¡°Nothing...¡± Shu Xiaoman was at the desk listlessly.


    ¡°Did Lin Wenxi went to find Zhang Dong?¡± asked Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°Howe you know?¡± Shu Xiaoman couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°My boy is gentle to me like a sheep these days, so as to let me ask Luo Yang about Zhang Dong in school. My boy¡¯s concern, of course, is your boy¡¯s concern! My boy ran away, and your boy certainly ran away, too! We are in the same boat.¡± Chen Wanxin said with a smile.


    ¡°Your boy, and my boy... I am not lucky like you...¡± Shu Xiaoman said grumpily.


    ¡°To be honest, I think you are the most suitable person for Wenxi.¡± Chen Wanxin smiled.


    ¡°Wenxi is suitable for me, but I am not definitely suitable for him. Otherwise, he will say nothing to me.¡± Shu Xiaoman looked at Chen Wanxin with caution.


    ¡°So, do you want to know?¡± Chen Wanxin asked smilingly.


    For a moment, Shu Xiaoman knew everything about Zhang Dong and Lin Wenxi. It was like the ginseng which she treasured before was bitten by a rat. She was worried and angry, and went pale.


    ¡°Howe you know?¡± Shu Xiaoman asked.


    Chen Wanxin felt awe and said smilingly, ¡°Naturally someone would tell me.¡±


    ¡°An¡¯an?¡± Shu Xiaoman asked.


    Chen Wanxi was mute for a while and immediately looked rxed, saying smilingly, ¡°You don¡¯t have to know something so clearly. You only need to know, however, somebody informed me because I can help him.¡±


    ¡°Zhao Yuan?¡± Shu Xiaoman asked again.


    Chen Wanxin justughed speechlessly.


    At night, and in Chen Wanxin¡¯s house.


    ¡°Wanxin, could you tell me Zheng Kai¡¯s attitude?¡± a boy asked on the phone.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you know Zheng Kai¡¯s attitude? You can see it from his attitude toward Gu Xi! Believe it or not, and you can have a try by yourself.¡± Chen Wanxin said coldly.


    ¡°How should I try?¡± the man asked.


    ¡°When you get drunk, give him a hug and never let go. See his reaction.¡± Chen Wanxin smiled casually.


    ¡°Okay, and thank you. But if you ask me for helpter, don¡¯t do anything to hurt Wenxi!¡±


    ¡±I already knew that Zhang Dong would not fight against Lin Wenxi, otherwise, he would not let you be a messenger.¡± Chen Wanxin smiled.


    ¡°Then why are you doing this?¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to ask why. In short, I promise, I won¡¯t let you do anything that hurts anyone. I just want you to give me some news from time to time.¡± Chen Wanxin said.


    He hung up the phone in silent.


    Chen Wanxiny down fretfully, pressing her hands on the temples and feeling a splitting headache. She really didn¡¯t expect that Zhang Dong did not fight against Lin Wenxi, and neither did Lin Wenxi. Why on earth is it so?

 Chapter 102 (I am a boy!) I can’t ask for anything.

    <h4>Chapter 102 (I am a boy!) I can¡¯t ask for anything.</h4>


    When Gu Xi saw Wang Xiang, who was sleeping soundly while holding Zheng Kai tightly, he bit the pillow towel and burst into tears.


    To celebrate the first anniversary of the sessful end of cross-country training, the hosts, Chen Wanxin and Wang Zhengjuan invited boys and girls in their ss to the party.


    As the champion, Zheng Kai was certainly on the chief invitation list and he brought Gu Xi. Wang Xiang, of course, apanied Zhang An¡¯an. Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi intended to stay in the dormitory instead of going to the party, but they had to act as eye candy due to everyone¡¯s enthusiasm.


    Unexpectedly, Wang Xiang exposed that he implicated Zhang An¡¯an during the cross-country training, so he was asked topensate it by drinking ss after ss. He himself was enthusiastic to drink with a lot of people, and then copsed into Zheng Kai.


    At the end of the party, Wang Xiang suddenly embraced Zheng Kai¡¯s shoulder, with his legs holding him, and refused to let go.


    ¡°Bro, are you drunk? The person who you want to hold is over there¡ª¡± Zheng Kai shouted, ¡°An¡¯an, bring your man back and tie him up.¡±


    A group of people came together and mustered their strength to pull Sloth Wang down from Zheng Kai. Sloth Wang just struggled desperately and shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t touch me! I am going to sleep! I am going to sleep!¡± With his hands holding Zheng Kai¡¯s neck, Wang Xiang hugged him more tightly.


    ¡°How about coping with the leech after getting back... I feel a little bit...¡± Zhang An¡¯an was dizzy because just now Chen Wanxin found various excuses to pile her with booze. She really couldn¡¯t make it. Zhou Nannan and Wang Zhengjuan was supporting Zhang An¡¯an and returned to the dormitory.


    ¡°Are you drunk due to the little bit of wine? You should carry him on your back if you can walk.¡± said Chen Wanxin. Like receiving military orders, Zheng Kai instantly stood upright, and let Wang Xiang put his hands around his neck, his legs around his waist and his head on his chest. He strode forward, like carrying a schoolbag in front of his chest.


    By the time they arrived at his dormitory, Zheng Kai was already drunk and sleepy, but Wang Xiang seemed to be an iron hoist and pressed him tightly. How could he sleep?


    Zhao Yuan patted Wang Xiang on his butt several times. As soon as Wang Xiang woke up, he cried and hugged him tighter.


    ¡°He, like a little tadpole, found his mother, or you can show him mother love.¡± Zhao Yuan said helplessly.


    ¡°How can I do that? How can I sleep well? And we are in the same bed...¡± Zheng Kai groaned and burped.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Chen Wanxin suddenly came in through the door.


    ¡°An¡¯an and Xiaoman are both drunk, and Nannan is also picked up by Zhengjuan. I think I am the only one who can see what is going on with the unworthy boy for An¡¯an.¡± Chen Wanxin said smilingly.


    ¡°This... this...¡± Zheng Kai¡¯s tongue was twisted.


    ¡°He is your roommate and brother. What¡¯s wrong with you? He is now out of order, and if you pull him down forcibly and unexpected incidents urred, what should An¡¯an do?¡± Chen Wanxinughed covering her mouth, ¡°Be obedient, and that¡¯s it.¡±


    Zheng Kai didn¡¯t fully understand and responded ¡°oh¡±, and fell asleep. He only felt that the head on his chest seemed to move again and rub again, and then pressed tighter.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, don¡¯t you follow me?¡± asked Chen Wanxin.


    Lin Wenxi was facing the wall at the time, and seemed to be asleep with his back to everything behind him.


    ¡°Your boyfriend has quarreled with you, and doesn¡¯t want to talk to you recently.¡± Zhao Yuan said and jumped on Lin Wenxi¡¯s bed. He pulled the thin quilt and slept with his back to Lin Wenxi.


    Chen Wanxin, with a sullen face, went out without saying a word.


    ¡°Remember to lock the door.¡± Zhao Yuan added.


    The mming of the door could be heard.


    Gu Xi looked at Zheng Kai¡¯s bed silently. Zheng Kai looked up and frowned as if his chest was supporting the weight of Wang Xiang¡¯s whole body, and it was difficult for him to breathe. Gu Xi, however, clearly saw Wang Xiang sticking to Zheng Kai¡¯s open cor, rubbing slightly against the thick chest, and his legs moving slowly. Was Zheng Kai regarded as An¡¯an by Wang Xiang, or...? Gu Xi was confused.


    From the first time Zheng Kai saved himself as a god, Gu Xi longed for a long, long time. Even if he had been carried by Zheng Kai and asked Zheng Kai to hold himself, he made Zheng Kai ufortable because of his intentional and unintentional intimate actions. If he had not been treated as a brother, Zheng Kai would have lost his temper at that time.


    So he had to be cautious. He cooked for him silently, made his bed, andughed at other¡¯s joke and even criticisms in silence. After turning his back, he still wore a bright face, because he knew that Zheng Kai was actually tired of being made fun of due to these things, and he even fought someone. Someone shouted in front of Zheng Kai, ¡°If you are a real man, you shouldn¡¯t be with this chick.¡±


    ¡°Shouldn¡¯t a man be with the chick?¡± This was the warmest words that Zheng Kai said, but it meant nothing.


    ¡°However, I am not a chick. I am a boy!¡±


    So it was not until Zheng Kai persuaded all the gossip people that rumors gradually faded, and the bright moon appeared. Gradually, he couldn¡¯t control himself. Gradually, he did something that displeased Zheng Kai. But he knew that Zheng Kai tolerated it for him. Although Zheng Kai repeated hisints, he always turned over to smoke in silence in face of his tears.


    However, he was about to enter the university department, only to find that Zheng Kai had left. He only said on the phone, ¡°I will go to the Jifu University. Take care.¡± Then there was silence for a long time.


    Did he deliberately avoid me?


    ¡°Long yearnings recall long memories, short yearnings have no end. If I knew my thought of you would be so tangled, wouldn¡¯t it be better we had never acquainted?¡± If at that time, you let me be bullied and turned a blind eye; if at that time, you hadn¡¯t passed by, there would not have been so many stories between us, and I would not have so much sadness and joy.


    With all my cooking skills, I followed you to Jifu University. I would have been very careful and cautious.


    But I saw Zhou Nannan and Wang Zhengjuan, two passionate girls. Although Zhou Nannan was not as open and outgoing as Wang Zhengjuan, she carefully and innocently dealt with some cynicism and sarcasm, and was unwilling to tell her any trouble after Wang Zhengjuan was anxious to tell everyone their rtionship. Wang Zhengjuan didn¡¯t know that Zhou Nannan had been counseled by a psychological teacher several times since then, and that Zhou Nannan always missed her family and became homesick. Zhou Nannan never said that, but smiled happily. One carried a heavy load to move forward, and another one was degage and free, but the happy time when they got together gave them full courage and confidence!


    I also met Lin Wenxi, who I regarded as a confidant, a seemingly fragile boy, a man with intelligence and knowledge. He seemed to have a secret family and identity behind him. He, a teenager who boasted poetic romance like running waterfall and was cold like the autumn moon, was changed into one with a breeze-like smile by Zhang Dong and Zhao Yuan. But, his smile was for Zhao Yuan. And his pain was also for him, wasn¡¯t it? Otherwise, why was he like hiding himself in the ice and walking in the world through the barrier of cold ice if he alienated Zhao Yuan? Why was he full of vitality like spring returning to the earth if he was with Zhao Yuan? It seemed that Zhao Yuan and he liked each other, but their behaviors never went beyond the rules. In front of others, apart from brotherly frolics, they only met each other¡¯s eyes with deep feelings in their gaze when left alone. It seemed that everyone knew, and it seemed that everyone couldn¡¯t see clearly. If someone was bolder, were they be so anxious?


    It seemed that everyone here was more open and tolerant. I really lived afortable life, and I also felt life like this was a favor of my life.


    Wang Xiang, Wang Xiang, did you know that you carelessly and quietly embraced Zheng Kai, closed to his chest, leaned against his body? And that was what I had longed for before! What would Zheng Kai do if I was drunk? He would throw me into the bed, throw a towel on myself, and strode away.


    Should I be like Wang Xiang, who fraternized with Zheng Kai and had a girlfriend? In this way, would Zheng Kai no longer scruple me?


    No, I should have been content with it, right?


    Gu Xi pondered over and over again. He couldn¡¯t help looking down at the lower bunk and saw Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan sleeping soundly side by side. They were dressed neatly. On a closer look, Zhao Yuan stretched out an arm under his pillow and quietly put it behind Lin Wenxi¡¯s neck. So, unless someone deliberately approached their bed and had a look, everyone would think that they were just lying side by side, which was extremelymon.


    Gu Xi couldn¡¯t help covering his mouth with tears streaming down.

 Chapter 103 (Go away!) Riffraff Zhao Yuan flirted with Wenxi

    <h4>Chapter 103 (Go away!) Riffraff Zhao Yuan flirted with Wenxi</h4>


    Lin Wenxi had a strange dream in the evening, so in the morning he woke up in joy and panic.


    He got up in a flurry and saw Zhao Yuan sitting on the edge of his bed, writing a flow chart and a nning case on theputer, which was presumably about the students¡¯ union. Lin Wenxi was somewhat upset and half sat, lying on his back. In his dream, he couldn¡¯t tell who Zhang Dong was and who Zhao Yuan was. But he knew clearly that they were naked in the dream, showing their bodies which could make any girl daydream about. He himself, however, was afraid. He was unscrupulous in the darkness, but when the unknown light was turned on, he was afraid that everything would be visible.


    But Lin Wenxi also saw that the two men in front of him kept the posture of the heroes in his dream and slept soundly with saliva dripping. The two men were exactly Wang Xiang and Zheng Kai.


    ¡°What happened?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ncing at them, Zhao Yuan said, ¡°How about having a try?¡±


    Lin Wenxi then kicked Zhao Yuan and said, ¡°Go away.¡±


    Zhao Yuan moved his buttock away, leaving enough space for Lin Wenxi to get up and continued to concentrate on his work.


    Lin Wenxi was very eager to get up and wash his body in the washroom. He wondered that it had not happened for a long time since he was young. Even if it happenedst time, he forgot what it was. But this time, he clearly remembered all the sentimental details in the dream. With the body friction, he was sweating like a spring rain. It was also like pear blossoms, blooming and flying all over the sky, blooming again and again... He felt painful, and also joyful.


    ¡°Just go away!¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°Oh.¡± Zhao Yuan moved again and asked, ¡°Where am I going?¡± Seeing Lin Wen¡¯s face was a little flushed, like the spring flowers blooming after rain, he felt funny and reached out to pinch his face, but he was pped away.


    ¡°Go out, out of the dormitory.¡± Lin Wenxi said unscrupulously. Zheng Kai was not in the dormitory, and Wang Xiang was probably with Zhang An¡¯an for extra tutoring¡ªSince Wang Xiang took the third grade in cultural coursesst year, he was forced by Zhang An¡¯an to take the first ce. Therefore, Lin Wenxi could speak boldly to Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Why should I get out of the dormitory?¡± Zhao Yuan asked.


    ¡°To buy breakfast for me!¡± Lin Wenxi made up an excuse.


    Zhao Yuan took out the breakfast which had been hidden under a book page, and he intended to tease Lin Wenxi with it.


    When Lin Wenxi saw the soybean milk and the fried bread stick, he couldn¡¯t help swallowing saliva, but still said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat this.¡±


    ¡°Oh.¡± Zhao Yuan replied. He picked the soybean milk to drink, and put the fried bread stick into his mouth, saying, ¡°I¡¯m hungry, so hungry...¡±


    ¡°Zhao Yuan!¡± Lin Wenxi resisted the hunger in his heart, gloomily fell into the bed, turned back to the wall and ignored him.


    ¡°Well, howe there¡¯s another one?¡± Zhao Yuan said with some fuss when he took out another breakfast from the other side of the page. Lin Wenxi flowed up without guts and ate all the food, but still did not get up.


    Zhao Yuan smiled and said that he was tired. He said that he was going to stretch his muscles and bones. When he went out, he closed the dormitory door, leaving it unlocked.


    Lin Wenxi crept up like a burr and was about to run into the bathroom. He heard Zhao Yuanughing at the door. It turned out that Zhao Yuan had been hiding outside to listen all the time, and he just caught Lin Wenxi.


    With thisugh, Zheng Kai woke up first and silently watched Wang Xiang, whose mouth was wide open and pressed on his chest, and he was astonished and motionless for a while. He saw Lin Wenxi covering his crotch and running into the bathroom. It seemed that his pants were wet. Zheng Kai thought for a moment and then looked at Gu Xi, who was lying on the edge of the opposite bed and was stunned. The moment Wang Xiang just changed his position, curving his legs, Zheng Kai only felt a bit of heart-piercing pain somewhere. He opened his eyes wide and suddenly came to his senses. He only felt his pores opening and a bit cold.


    Lin Wenxi was frightened out of the bathroom by a scream. At that time, he had changed his clothes and saw Wang Xiang with his back against the wall. He was like a pool of mud. Although he screamed in pain, he could not wake up his numb nerves.


    Suddenly, he loosened his grip, and his pants that he was ready to throw into the bucket was already on Zhao Yuan¡¯s hand.


    Zhao Yuan picked it up and sniffed it gently near his nose. ¡°Good wine needs no bush.¡±


    Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t understand and he grabbed his clothes. Wang Xiang was tilting his head at the bedside, muttering unconsciously, ¡°I¡¯m not afraid that hooligans can fight, but afraid that hooligans are educated. Ouch, it kills me.¡±


    Zhao Yuan looked up and asked with a smile, ¡°Where does it hurt? Can I press it for you?¡±


    Wang Yuan instantly shut up and fell asleep again.


    Gu Xi covered his mouth for a moment, and choked back hisugh, looking at Zheng Kai, who was dissatisfied and took off his clothes to wash.


    Zheng Kai thought about it and spit heavily into the sink: ¡°I really should change the dormitory!¡±


    During the ss break, Lin Wenxi hurried to the bathroom, probably because he drank too much soybean milk for breakfast. When he unzipped his trousers, he suddenly felt someone watching him. Lin Wenxi looked sideways, Zhao Yuan was whistling absently beside him and peeing. Lin Wenxi instantly had no intention of urinating. Since he was unable to meet his physiological needs smoothly for a while, he had to put on his trousers again.


    After Zhao Yuan finished, he looked sideways and said with a smile, ¡°If you keep it so constrained, it won¡¯t grow very long. It needs to breathe more. From time to time, you can help them grow with your hands.¡± Lin Wenxi ran away with bitter cold. When he passed through the small garden, he saw Wang Xiang gloomily running out from the inside.


    Wang Xiang, staggering all the way, didn¡¯t notice Lin Wenxi, who was very puzzled at the familiar figure in the forest.


    Chen Wanxin was even more puzzled than Lin Wenxi. Wang Xiang was stranger than others.


    Some time ago, Chen Wanxin always liked to call Zheng Kai about Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi. Zheng Kai finally got annoyed and scolded her ¡°stinky bitch¡±. Chen Wanxin knew that he was like a simple-minded animal and even had some rage against himself, so she turned to Wang Xiang who seemed to be good for nothing.


    Unexpectedly, Wang Xiang cooperated very well. Every time Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi did something, he said it clearly, but Wang Xiang finally came to the conclusion that he ¡°always thought they were joking.¡±


    Naturally, Chen Wanxin was grateful to Wang Xiang, so she gave him a lot of books and so on. Wang Xiang didn¡¯t want any of them, but just made such a strange request to Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°An¡¯an always felt that I was not considerate enough to Wenxi and Zhaoyuan. I didn¡¯t know how to be considerate. An¡¯an told me to sleep with Zhao Yuan for one night. But Zhao Yuan is always with Wenxi, so I couldn¡¯t find any chance. It¡¯s better to try it on Zheng Kai.¡± Wang Xiang said.


    ¡°She was joking with you, and you shouldn¡¯t be so serious!¡± Chen Wanxin disdainfully said,ughing at Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s inexplicable behaviors.


    Wang Xiang shook his head, ¡°I still want to have a try. Since Zheng Kai listens to you, please help me.¡±


    Although Chen Wanxin despised the incredible request, she also earnestly agreed to it in order to master Zhao Yuan¡¯s trend in time.


    Last night, Wang Xiang fulfilled his wish, so Chen Yuxin asked him, ¡°How did you feel?¡±


    Wang Xiang said smilingly, ¡°I didn¡¯t have any special feeling, probably because I was drunk. How about having another try when I am sober?¡±


    ¡°Do you want more? Are you really addicted? Is An¡¯an enough for you to hold?¡± Chen Wanxin couldn¡¯t help being very angry.


    ¡°Well, you know, I want to try something new...¡± Wang Xiang just smiled.


    ¡°I warn you that An¡¯an missed her period for several days. If you don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on, you can ask Zheng Kai who knows most about biology!¡± Chen Wanxin said so viciously that Wang Xiang widened his eyes and ran away shaking his head.

 Chapter 104 (Are You Also Faint?) the Storm Is Frequent in the Wedding

    <h4>Chapter 104 (Are You Also Faint?) the Storm Is Frequent in the Wedding</h4>


    On this day, Lin Wenxi asked Gu Xi to buy clothes with him. He chose two suits, shirts, and ties.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you ask me, instead of Zhao Yuan, to go with you?¡± Gu Xi muttered all the way, although he was happy to apany him.


    ¡°I¡¯ll give him a surprise, and I especially wait for him to give basketball lessons to the little kids, freshmen before I came over.¡± Lin Wenxi said with a smile.


    ¡°Little kids...¡± Gu Xi was thinking for a moment and touched Lin Wenxi¡¯s head.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Wenxi asked in surprise.


    ¡°You are still growing up, and you are calling them little kids! Moreover, Zhao Yuan told me that you held your 18-year-old adulthood ceremony this summer. You are obviously one year younger than me, so why should I call your elder brother?¡± Gu Xi frowned and pursed his lips up.


    ¡°It was you that called me Big Xixi, and yourself Little Xixi as soon as you entered the dormitory. What can I do...¡±Lin Wenxi felt quite speechless.


    ¡°By the way, what was your 18-year-old adulthood ceremony?¡± Gu Xi curiously asked, ¡°Did you... with Zhao Yuan?¡±


    Lin Wenxi, unaware of his red ears and his instant dignified look, immediately said smilingly, ¡°It only thundered but didn¡¯t rain.¡±


    ¡°What did you mean? What did you mean?¡± Gu Xi kept asking Lin Wenxi.


    They were chatting with each other and kept saying like quarrels. Lin Wenxi was suddenly bumped against by someone, and he subconsciously apologized first. But that man pointed to his clothes and said, ¡°It¡¯s dirty, and pay for it.¡±


    Lin Wenxi directly led Guxi leaving, but that man jumped up to Lin Wenxi and grabbed his cor, ¡°Pay for it.¡±


    ¡°You are so unreasonable...¡± Gu Xi said. Just after that, his head was severely knocked by that man.


    ¡°Oh, my cor is also polluted by you, and please pay for it.¡± Lin Wenxi said coldly.


    The man violently pushed Lin Wenxi forward, ¡°Are you provoking me?¡±


    ¡°Go to the front station on the left, take No.38 bus and go back where you should go.¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    The man ignored him and he continued to hold on to Lin Wenxi. Seeing it was like schr encountering soldier, Gu Xi couldn¡¯t help scratching his head, ¡°If Zhao Yuan was here right now...¡± The moment he was murmuring, his eyes lit up. Who was the man but Zhao Yuan with a cold face and serious look, tightly holding that reckless man?


    Gu Xi happily cheered, holding the cup of orange juice in his hand, ¡°Magicmp, magicmp, please send Zheng Kai here again!¡±


    ¡°Magicmp¡± didn¡¯t respond. Gu Xi pursed his lips up and smilingly watched Zhao Yuan crunching the man¡¯s fingers, and giving him a loud p. Zhao Yuan strangled the man¡¯s cor in the same way and asked, ¡°Did Chen Wanxin send you here?¡±


    The man seemed to be awakened after drinking. He shook his head in a muddy way and hurried to ask for forgiveness.


    ¡°Forget it.¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    Zhao Yuan pushed the man away, ¡°ording to your grandpa, go to take No.38 bus by yourself, and I am keeping an eye on you!¡±


    The man looked pale and shiveringly walked across the road.


    Zhao Yuan smiled at Lin Wenxi as if waiting for something.


    Lin Wenxi looked displeased and said, ¡°Do you expect me to give you a hug or throw you a kiss when you called me grandpa?¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t say... ¡®ording to your nephew...''¡± Zhao Yuan was speechless.


    Lin Wenxi thought for a while and nodded his head,ughing brightly, and Zhao Yuan followed him happily. Gu Xi followed them with envy.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid ofints from the freshmen?¡± Gu Xi asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, since ancient times, the beauty has been dangerous.¡± Zhao Yuan said, and his head was immediately beaten.


    ¡°See? You watch Inuyasha so much that you have learned Kagome¡¯s style!¡± Zhao Yuan covered his head and pinched Lin Wenxi¡¯s ears.


    ¡°Where is No.38 bus leading?¡± Gu Xi asked.


    ¡°Psychiatric hospital.¡± Zhao Yuanughed.


    They threeughed and strolled in several shops, and finally chose two suits.


    Gu Xi was curious, and stared at the fitting mirror. Lin Wenxi with his stiff suit, was actually very handsome. Although he was not strong enough, he still had an imposing appearance. As for Gu Xi himself, he couldn¡¯t handle the well-fitting suit. Zhao Yuan, was tall and broad-chested, and he looked like a business tycoon as if the suit was made for him specially.


    ¡°In addition to your thievish-looing eyes on Wenxi¡¯s buttocks, you look like a distinguished rich man!¡± Gu Xi couldn¡¯t help praising, and he remembered that when Zheng Kai asked himself with dressing, he was also handsome, but...¡±


    Yun Che and Zhu Ziping finally realized their dreams and tied the knot. For this reason, they held a grand wedding in their own city.


    Because of Lin Wenxi, Female Dormitory 419 were also familiar with Zhu Ziping, especially Shu Xiaoman, who always learned piano badly and always liked to visit the piano shop. Although Zhang An¡¯an was too fat to walk around, she still liked to be with Shu Xiaoman. All of them gave their gifts separately. Wang Zhengjuan and Chen Wanxin drove cars respectively, and they set off together. Zheng Kai and Zhao Yuan rented two motorcycles to drive on both sides, one driving Gu Xi, and another driving Lin Wenxi.


    The wedding is extremely grand and solemn.


    The couple specially invited Lin Wenxi to above the salt and gave a brief introduction using the slides that were ying to all the guests. The formal wedding began slowly in a solemn symphony.


    Only a lot of people can¡¯t find Chen Wanxin and Shu Xiaoman. Zheng Kai looked around for a while, and no one answered the phone, so he sat them sat absent-mindedly. Gu Xi frowned and excited with the music of the wedding. He could not help cing his hands on Zheng Kai¡¯sp under the table, but they were gently moved away.


    Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan, as the best men, stood next to Yun Che, delivering the rings and gifts, and they are very responsible and considerate. To their surprise, the bridesmaids were none other than Shu Xiaoman and Chen Wanxin. In the rehearsal, the bridesmaids were the other two girls. Why...?


    Looking at the two beautiful young girls, Zhao Yuan was surprised secretly.


    ¡°I wanted to surprise you so as to secretly let Wanxine here as a bridesmaid.¡± Zhu Ziping smiled gently and took over the cross-cupped wine handed over by best men. Meanwhile, the bridesmaids also delivered the wine to Yun Che.


    ¡°It was really a surprise...¡± Zhao Yuan thought.


    Everything went on harmoniously and naturally. The happy smiles of the couple, shallow and deep, were deeply reflected in Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes. All the joys and sorrows they had experienced were like a movie, which was repeating and intertwining in his mind. Time lived up to them. The lovers would eventually get married. They were so happy!


    ording to the rehearsal, the bridesmaids and the groomsmen would hold hands with each other and pulled up the two falling curtains again. Then the couple went to the front of the stage, exchanged the rings and epted the blessing of the guests. In the rehearsal, Lin Wenxi needed to take the bridesmaid he was facing, Shu Xiaoman, and Zhao Yuan needed to hold Chen Yuxin¡¯s hand.


    But at this point, there was something wrong with it.


    Lin Wenxi seemed to be lost in spirit. The moment the host announced it, Lin Wenxi looked directly at Zhao Yuan¡¯s hand. As soon as he was holding it, he walked out. When he walked two steps, He came to himself in a panic, and was about to let go, but Zhao Yuan held it tightly. At the same time, he saw Zhao Yuan¡¯s solemn and imposing expression.


    Chen Wanxin behind them felt cold all over. At the wedding ceremony, the groomsman held another groomsman to lead the way together. This corrupted public morals. How dare he do it in public!


    She thought that Zhao Yuan would absolutely have held her hands for the sake of the grand and orderly wedding. Even if only for seconds, she expected the seconds so much that she couldn¡¯t sleep well for the whole night. She never gently put her little hand into his big hands. Didn¡¯t she strive for such emotional moment? At that time, she knew that Zhao Yuan didn¡¯t like her, but such a photo could be her unforgettable memory in the future!


    Why did she bother to prepare the dress which could rival the bride¡¯s wedding dress?


    Why did she bother to make up in the backstage?


    Why did she repeatedly watch the video of rehearsal and practice with Shu Xiaoman on the yground? But she didn¡¯t attend the rehearsal.


    Chen Wanxin, when did you make yourself so humble that you took the initiative to help Zhao Yuan wash his feet, and that you prepared the warm bed to wait for a night with Zhao Yuan? When did you chase after Zhao Yuan to be your boyfriend? You were bothering!


    Now, Luo Yang¡¯s cousin, with carelessness, frightened the exchange student to death because of heart disease, and was imprisoned. Luo Yang and Mo Qian racked their brains to save him. They also tried to cover up the fact that it was their idea, and kept it quiet to his father. To appease Luo Yang, she gave him a hug! Is that man worthy? But the poor fellow, a man, cried in front of herself, hoping only that she could hold him... It was definitely not sympathy! It was to let him cooperate, not betray himself!


    Zhao Yuan, did you know all of this? When Lin Wenxi held your hands, you just behaved so naturally and ept the mistake?


    Shu Xiaoman felt that her hands were scratched by Chen Wanxin, and she said with pain, ¡°Chen Wanxin, be rxed. If something goes wrong with the wedding, everyone will be unhappy.¡±


    Do I need to care who is happy or unhappy?


    Chen Yuxin left in anger.


    Shu Xiaoman stared at the back of Lin Wenxi and walked away from the other side.


    Zhao Yuan, staring at Lin Wenxi, found that he was distracted, and immediately understood. They two formed symmetry with the bridesmaids, which looked like a wedding arrangement.


    Finally, the bride¡¯s bouquet was thrown to Lin Wenxi.


    Holding the bouquet in hands, Lin Wenxi watched the couple drinking cross-cupped wine, and fantasized that he, in a suit and tie, and Zhao Yuan, in tuxedo, drank cross-cupped wine, even if there were many audience apuding, blessing andughing constantly.


    ¡°Who am I going to give it to?¡± Lin Wenxi thought, and handed the bouquet to Gu Xi, ¡°Even if you have no chance, I hope you finally have a real end.¡±


    Gu Xi, holding the flowers in hands, shed tears, and he saw Zheng Kai followed Chen Wanxin and ran out.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi was dippy, and are you dippy too? How would others think of your actions?¡±


    ¡°You are not worried about others¡¯ thought, are you?¡± Zhao Yuan said slowly.


    ¡°You don¡¯t even feel ashamed!¡± Chen Wenxin red at him.


    ¡°Me? I don¡¯t think so. Lin Wenxi suddenly didn¡¯t stand still, so I took him. That¡¯s it. Howplicated can it be?¡± Zhao Yuan continued, ¡°It¡¯s you, Wanxin, don¡¯t send someone to hit Lin Wenxi on the road next time, okay?¡±


    ¡°What did you say? I don¡¯t!¡± Chen Yuxin was angry and felt confused.


    ¡°s...¡± Zhao sighed slightly and strode away. He always remembered that the girl in front of him was kind to his father, and he was d to be a friend, even a bosom friend of her. But gradually, this kind of feeling faded away. At thought of her, he only wanted to do part-time job and paid back the money that he owed to her.


    Inside the hall, Wang Xiang felt fearful after the event, ¡°If Zhao Yuan let go of Wenxi¡¯s hands or in reverse, they were hiding the truth.¡±


    ¡°Both of them were following their conscience.¡± Zhou Nannan smilingly watched Wang Xiang. ¡°And you, what¡¯ your conscience?¡±


    Watching Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s rising belly, right, what is my conscience.

 Chapter 105 (Hold Me Firm!) the Fragrance Could Be Smelt Since It Is Getting Cold

    <h4>Chapter105 (Hold Me Firm!) the Fragrance Could Be Smelt Since It Is Getting Cold</h4>


    On his way back, Lin Wenxi leaned behind Zhao Yuan, with his hands tightly around Zhao Yuan¡¯s waist, and his face tightly against his back. With the cold wind blowing two sides of his body, he still felt warm.


    Chen Wanxin¡¯s crying figure appeared in their vision. Zhao Yuan screwed the eleration gear and the car was zooming like an arrow.


    ¡°Yuan, stop.¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    The car stopped slowly.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go to see her.¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°Come on, don¡¯t be like the Virgin Mary. She always arranges some confusing things, and that¡¯s very boring!¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°If I arranged some confusing things, what will you do?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°If then, you are not Lin Wenxi!¡± Zhao Yuan said, and restarted the car, suddenly driving forward. Lin Wenxi suddenly saw that not far behind Chen Wanxin, Zheng Kai was smoking incessantly on the stairs.


    Chen Wanxin was delighted to see the motorcycle stop, but the man didn¡¯t turn back. He even didn¡¯t want to see her! Only the boy was sitting behind him, holding his waist, looking at her. What was that look? Was he provoking her?


    A pair of hand, with disgusting smell of smoke, handed over a bottle of hot milk. It was Zheng Kai.


    Chen Wanxin overturned the milk, ¡°Is it meaningful?¡±


    Zheng Kai was silent.


    Didn¡¯t you say that you had given up on me and that you were dead-hearted? What are you doing by following me? As a man, you did nothing but followed a girl, so don¡¯t you feel ashamed?¡± Chen Wanxin asked sharply, with tears drying up.


    ¡°I am very happy.¡± Zheng Kai said.


    ¡°You are brainless!¡± Chen Wanxin couldn¡¯t help scolding him.


    Zheng Kai grinned. Zhang An¡¯an once came to told him, ¡°If Chen Wanxin is angry with you, she may care a little about you. If she ignores you, she never really cares about you.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Zheng Kai said with delight.


    Chen Yuxin felt that this person was incurable.


    ¡°Do you approve of Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan, right? Did you see them holding their hands? You¡¯re happy, are you? You want them to do that, so you have the chance to sympathize me, right? Let me tell you, no way!¡± Chen Wanxin said angrily. It was an insinuation in her grieved remark.


    ¡°They, in my opinion, they themselves don¡¯t understand what they are doing. Indeed, they are glued together to quarrel and frolic. Or, they stay together ying the piano and flute. But I couldn¡¯t see anything between them in respect of... After all, they live in the same dormitory, and see each other every day. They both taboo it. You know, if they sleep together and kiss each other, I am the first one to feel disgusting and to kick them out. But they don¡¯t do that. I think they are more than brothers, and that¡¯s it.¡± Zheng Kai said honestly.


    ¡°That¡¯s because they are hiding something! They are scared! They feel ashamed! Do you think they feel ashamed today?¡± Chen Wanxin was indignant.


    ¡°Wenxi almost fell down today, and Zhao Yuan pulled him. He didn¡¯t want to destroy the process and had no choice.¡± Zheng Kai remembered what Zheng Kai said.


    ¡°You should believe his bullshit! Let me ask you, what do you think of Gu Xi? He likes you, which everyone knows!¡± Chen Wanxin said.


    ¡°He is young and ignorant.¡± Zheng Kai said.


    ¡°At what age is it called growing up? You are twenty years old, and Gu Xi is only one year younger than you! Neen should have been called a man! You say he¡¯s still young?¡± Chen Wanxin said stubbornly.


    ¡°From a biological point of view, there are physiological age, but also psychological age, Gu Xi¡¯s psychological age is about 8 or 9 years old. I treat him as my brother, and it¡¯s nothing for eight or nine-year-old brother to be a little sticky.¡± Zheng Kai said.


    ¡°You! Don¡¯t tell me something biology! Zheng Kai, you know it, don¡¯t you? Only because Gu Xi did something good for you, you would find an excuse for him even if you disdain him. He likes you, and he just likes you! If you continue to treat him as a nine-year-old boy, he will be fond of you disgustingly!¡± Chen Wanxin said.


    ¡°Wanxin, it is Gu Xi¡¯s freedom to like someone, and I can¡¯t interfere as his bro. But I know very well who I like.¡± Zheng Kai said.


    ¡°You will tolerate it and deceive yourself. When he kisses you in public one day, you will know it¡¯s disgraceful!¡± Chen Wanxin said.


    ¡°Go back, and I¡¯ll drive you.¡± Zheng Kai was silent for a while and said.


    ¡°I have a car with a driver and air conditioning, and there is no need for you to drive me with this rented car.¡± Chen Wanxin¡¯s eyes were full of contempt.


    ¡°What if Zhao Yuan said this to you?¡± Zheng Kai suddenly asked.


    Chen Wanxin couldn¡¯t respond to it for a while.


    ¡°Come on. If you always sit in the car, you¡¯ll never know how wonderful the outside world is. Or, two people must have something inmon, so they¡¯ll speak the samenguage.¡± Zheng Kai said.


    ¡°You speak a lot of nonsense.¡± Chen Yuxin said coldly


    ¡°That depends on who I am talking with.¡± Zheng Kai suddenly smiled. He was imposing in ordinary time, and he should be shy in his precocious face.


    Chen Yuxin stood up and decided to leave.


    ¡°Wanxin...¡± Zheng Kai couldn¡¯t help sighing at the frost.


    ¡°Hurry up to lead the way!¡± Chen Wanxin¡¯s voice was like the light of heaven, suddenly dispelling all the cold in the frosty night. Zheng Kai happily pointed to the parking area nearby and strode forward.


    Zheng Kai jumped on the motorcycle and said to Chen Wanxin: ¡°Come on.¡±


    Chen Wanxin, who usually sat on thefortable and soft car seat, disdained the poor people who rode motorcycle to attract customers. Unexpectedly, it was her first time that she had sat on it personally. She didn¡¯t know what to do.


    ¡°Hold me firm!¡± Zheng Kai said.


    Chen Wanxin had only grasped the iron shelf of the back seat tightly, and soon she suddenly understood the meaning of Zheng Kai¡¯s words.


    Her hands tightly grasped Zheng Kai¡¯s clothes on both sides. Even if they had never been closed, Zheng Kai smiled and felt satisfied. But would her hand be frozen by the momentary exposure to the cold wind? Zheng Kai slightly frowned, and took off the gloves on the motor¡¯s handle and handed them to Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°Which stinky man had touched it?¡± Chen Yuxin was slightly angry.


    Zheng Kai thought about it, took back the gloves again, and put Chen Wanxin¡¯s hand into his pocket, ¡°Don¡¯t catch a cold.¡±


    After he said, the motorcycle zoomed and left at a fast speed. Chen Wanxin leaned Zheng Kai¡¯s back, with her hands clinging to his pocket. Although her cheeks were cold, and her breath was not smooth, the warmth splitting at Zheng Kai¡¯s solid back was so precious and made her couldn¡¯t help yearning for it. This kind of warmth definitely couldn¡¯t be felt in the air-conditioned room or a heated car. However, it was until that time that she herself understood it.


    It might be the same with Lin Wenxi. When he took a cold bath in winter, he was cold. That¡¯s why Zhao Yuan¡¯ hug was so warm. The little prison during the Spring Festival was cold, but Zhao Yuan¡¯s worry was warm as usual. On such a motorcycle did Lin Wenxi hide behind Zhao Yuan.


    But why can¡¯t I be the one?¡±


    The lights on both sides of the city are gradually blurred in the fog, like the time of being blurred, the distant memories, and the wind blew heavily, but it was quiet.

 Chapter 113 (Wenxi, Why) All Zhao Yuan’s Hardships Went for Nothing Like the Ever-flowing Yangtze

    <h4>Chapter 113 (Wenxi, Why) All Zhao Yuan¡¯s Hardships Went for Nothing Like the Ever-flowing Yangtze</h4>


    ¡°After the final match, I can get the ¡°Mo¡¯s battle¡± credit as long as I try my best. And that I can change a morefortable bed for my father by making use of the considerable champion¡¯s bonus. In the next few months, I may not need to worry too much about my father¡¯s medical expense.¡±


    ¡°Maybe, maybe I can join in the selective matches every timeter on such that I can transfer my father to another hospital.¡±


    Zhao Yuan thought to himself while walking on his way to the boxing field, and his hands slightly trembled.


    Chen Wanxin held his hands and pressed them against her face. The fists¡¯ master guarded the fate of his family in the most primitive way. She believed that her thousands of ck hair would only dance for him.


    Zhao Yuan looked at her silently. Her ming red lips were close at hand, and her pair of bright eyes gazed at him. Now, they only need a passionate kiss to be the hero and the beauty, the universally epted perfect couple since ancient times. But Zhao Yuan shook his head and smiled apologetically to Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°That¡¯s enough, right?¡± Chen Wanxin thought. However, she did not know that another person shed across Zhao Yuan¡¯s heart at this time. That person fell in the darkness, but he took the initiative to press his lips against Zhao Yuan¡¯s, and it was the actual first kiss of Zhao Yuan. The sweetness at that time seemed to be the evil influence which entangled Zhao Yuan tighter as time passed, and it seemed that he could never escape from it.


    When Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin came near to the boxing field, they saw police cars encircled the ce, the red and blue dazzling warning lights made both of them feel a little flustered.


    Zhao Yuan grabbed Chen Wanxin and quickly ran up to the nearestmercial building with her. They looked down to the distance from the upper floor and saw a scene that made them copse.


    Many people lined up and walked out of the underground boxing field almost in the same posture¡ªall their hands were tied behind their back. In the boxing field, there was a desk decorated with a golden thumb. Initially, the desk was the ce where they did the match exnations, and where people added the ante. But now, two teams of people with helmets wearing camouge clothing and ck armors were carrying out the desk from the field.


    Zhao Yuan pulled Chen Wanxin and rushed outside the police wall. He even specifically stopped the people who had gathered to watch the fun to ask the reason. Chen Wanxin witnessed that Zhao Yuan had already stopped seven to eight passersby like mad and kept asking, ¡°What happened in there?¡± Those passersby either shook their head, or were frightened by his utterly distracted look, or shook him off immediately.


    No answer was precisely the best answer.


    ¡°Brother Yuan! Please stop. I beg you...¡± Chen Wanxin hugged Zhao Yuan from behind, trying to stop him.


    ¡°Gone, all is gone.¡± All in a sudden, Zhao Yuan looked like that all his strength was pulled away. He dropped down on the steps, and his eyes looked haggard.


    ¡°What should I do?¡± With his red and swollen eyes, Zhao Yuan who felt that he had no way out now looked at Chen Wanxin and threw himself into her arms like a child.


    To ask for help, he used to post his difficult situation on the inte and even employed online ghostwriters. But in this world, too many people were suffering, so not everyone could attract public attention. ¡°I signed a contract with my previous employer, where I had done a part-time job. Its prepaid payment was limited, and I had spent all the money. Those rtives and friends who can help also did their best already. Even the house of my family was... I am homeless now!¡±


    After resting for a short while, Zhao Yuan stood up, took Chen Wanxin¡¯s hand, and went back. Chen Wanxin knew that Zhao Yuan must have found out a solution. But since he had got to the point where he even needed to fight the underground fatal boxing match to earn the medical expense of his father, what else could he do? Chen Wanxin wanted to see Zhao Yuan crying beside her. Even a moment of crying would be a relief for him and her.


    Perhaps, it was wrong to do like this from the beginning.


    ¡°Brother Yuan! Don¡¯t push yourself too hard, okay? Don¡¯t force yourself to stand up and move on. Cannot you stop for a moment?¡± Chen Wanxin said softly, her tears flowing down inadvertently.


    Zhao Yuan turned around to look at her with a smile. ¡°As long as I still stay alive, I can find a way.¡±


    Hardly had he finished speaking, Chen Wanxin raised her head and kissed Zhao Yuan deeply. Tightly closing her eyes, she felt that the hustle and bustle of the world around them fade away and turned into a quietness. It seemed that the shing neon by their side had be many butterflies, which kept fluttering around them cheerfully. Zhao Yuan knew that in her deep eyes, he was the only one. He was not hardhearted enough to push her away once again.


    When Chen Wanxin opened her eyes, she spotted Lin Wenxi standing not far away. At this moment, she felt that she seemingly didn¡¯t need to grab anything or fight for anything. Facing Lin Wenxi, she felt very calm.


    The figure of Lin Ziwei in a heavily armed car slowly came into Zhao Yuan¡¯s sight. At the same time, he saw the person standing in the near distance was short of breath because of running. It was precisely the person who he had missed for such a long time, which felt like several centuries to him. He had been waiting that he would give him a big hug and kiss him deeply at the end of the game.


    ¡°Wenxi... It was you...¡± Zhao Yuan raced to Lin Wenxi, and it seemed that his eyes were burning.


    ¡°I just hope that you will not get yourself killed,¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°Say everything clearly!¡± Zhao Yuan grabbed Lin Wenxi by his cor.


    Lin Wenxi thought that Zhao Yuan was furious, but he could only see a deep sadness in Zhao Yuan¡¯s eyes. The sad feeling spewed out, spread, and surrounded him tightly. Lin Wenxi even felt a little afraid.


    The field involved prostitution, drugs, and fatal underground boxing. Sometimes, the lives of those boxers were at stake. Before long, Lin Ziwei gave this credit to his colleague, who was in charge of criminal cases. Naturally, this case was examined and dealt with vigorously and effectively by his colleague and the subordinates of him. In the face of so many people, Lin Wenxi could not tell Zhao Yuan that it was his father who caused all of this, so he chose to shut up.


    Zhao Yuan grabbed Lin Wenxi¡¯s cor brutally. At this time, he wanted badly to tear the person before him into pieces. Zhao Yuan also tried to beat him and even destroy him. However, once he saw Lin Wenxi¡¯s unutterable look and the concern on his face that he could not conceal, Zhao Yuan found it was so hard to be angry with him, except feeling sad. Shaking his head, Zhao Yuan let Lin Wenxi go and said while slowly stressing each syble. ¡°Wenxi, in the future, please don¡¯t poke into my affairs, okay?¡± His voice was gentle and mild, but each of his words sounded bloody and as sharp as the de.


    ¡°Does it hurt?¡± Lin Wenxi murmured his question to Zhao Yuan, who then shook his head and nodded while smiling at him.


    ¡°Why?¡± Lin Wenxi asked again.


    Zhao Yuan was silent.


    ¡°The war between men has always been a life-or-death struggle. Though I felt worried, I still thought that he had put up quite a good show, and he was such a brave man! If it were you, I¡¯m afraid that you wouldn¡¯t know the feeling the pleasure and the sense of aplishment after winning a life and death match!¡± Chen Wanxin looked down at Lin Wenxi.


    Zhao Yuan walked away and brushed past Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi saw it clear that the tears were sliding down from the corners of Zhao Yuan¡¯s eyes. Those tears went across Zhao Yuan¡¯s face like a streak of lightning shed across the still night.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan...¡± Lin Wenxi tried to say something, but he only felt that everything before him went ck, and his faces became burning hot.


    Chen Wanxin red at him, and her hand was still trembling. Before Lin Wenxi could react, Chen Wanxin pped once again in his face, and this p from her sounded very clear and loud.


    ¡°What are you doing...¡± Lin Wenxi asked, somewhat vaguely. He could not even feel the pain on his face.


    Chen Wanxin raised her hand again, but Zhao Yuan griped it. ¡°How dare you?!¡±


    ¡°But, Brother Yuan! The bonus of the match!¡± Chen Wanxin¡¯s tears dropped down again.


    Zhao Yuan turned around and walked away.


    Lin Wenxi stood still. He thought that he misheard what Zhao Yuan had said. He wanted to catch up him and asked what exactly Zhao Yuan had said just now.


    Lin Wenxi never felt that there would be such a moment that Zhao Yuan seemed to leave far away. Lin Wenxi went forward and caught up with him.


    Zhao Yuan pushed him away subconsciously.


    It was unknown whether it was because Zhao Yuan pushed him too hard or Lin Wenxi was unprepared that Lin Wenxi suddenly hit the iron fences on the sidewalk and fell heavily to the ground. Lin Wenxi gently stroked his cheeks and rubbed his knees softly. He was a little dumbfounded now. Watching Chen Wanxin leaving arm in arm with Zhao Yuan and their backs disappear quickly at the end of the crowd, he was torn apart like the cold air breathed by pedestrians being torn instantly in the boundless dark night.


    ¡°Brother Yuan. Are you okay, Brother Yuan?¡± Chen Wanxin kept asking.


    Zhao Yuan suddenly turned around, and he mped Chen Wanxin¡¯s waist firmly with his five fingers. Chen Wanxin felt a sharp pain in the wrist, and her wrist almost became numb.


    ¡°You... hurt me...¡± Chen Wanxin grumbled.


    ¡°Chen Wanxin! Why did involve Wenxi in this matter? Who...¡± Zhao Yuan asked sharply, but he immediately swallowed the two remaining words, ¡°are you,¡± down to his stomach.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t...¡± Chen Wanxin argued in a hurry.


    Zhao Yuan mercilessly left Chen Wanxin behind.


    On the spot, Chen Wanxin gave herself a bitter p in the face and muttered to herself, ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have appeared here. I shouldn¡¯t have done that. I took such a redundant action. Zhao Yuan, he is so smart...¡±


    Zhao Yuan thought, ¡°Why would Chen Wanxin tell Wenxi about the things rted to the boxing field? She must have known Lin Wenxi¡¯s background, and she also knew that Lin Wenxi could stop me! You, all of you treated my father and me like this!¡±


    ¡°Who is Chen Wanxin exactly? Who the hell is her...¡±


    Zhao Yuan ran somewhat frantically into the night in the distance, deeper and deeper.

 Chapter 107 (He Could Only Fight to the Death!) Zhao Yuan Joined the Mo’s family to Save His Father.

    <h4>Chapter 107 (He Could Only Fight to the Death!) Zhao Yuan Joined the Mo¡¯s family to Save His Father.</h4>


    ¡°Yuan, can I go with you?¡± Lin Wenxi followed Zhao Yuan, who was walking out of the dorm.


    ¡°You have to help me with my ss notes! The exams areing, but Wang Xiang is out of his wits, Gu Xi¡¯s mind is gone, and the bastard Zheng Kai has been quite busy hitting on girls. Now you are the only one I can count on so stop following me!¡± Zhao Yuan smiled lightly.


    ¡°You knew everything...¡± Lin Wenxi felt a little embarrassed. He knew that he couldn¡¯t track him because Zhao Yuan was too alert.


    In the past few days, Lin Wenxi followed Zhao Yuan three times.


    In the first trip, Zhao Yuan took the No. 12 bus. Lin Wenxi watched Zhao Yuan getting off at Normal University East Road and then he hurriedly followed after him. However, Zhao Yuan disappeared quietly all of a sudden, and Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t find him anywhere.


    In the second trip, Zhao Yuan still took the No. 12 bus, but this time, he got off at Normal University South Road. When Lin Wenxi was looking for him, he found that Zhao Yuan got on the bus again from the front door immediately after he got off from the back door.


    In the third trip, Zhao Yuan took only one stop. Then he took a taxi and pulled away.


    Lin Wenxi thought that Zhao Yuan was nothing different from the past. It was just that the more time he spent with him, the more he realized that there was always ayer of dark clouds in Zhao Yuan¡¯s eyes. Just like now, the sky was crystal blue, but far away in the distance, dark clouds along with heavy winds gradually surged up, everything getting colder.


    Again, Zhao Yuan came to MO Capital, a city that never slept, where lights and shadows flickered all the time.


    He already knew that if he gained the top-notch award in here, the Mo¡¯s family would help him realize an unattainable wish. Besides, the people here seemed to be somewhat interested in him.


    ¡°What¡¯s the requirement to get the top-notch award Zhang Dong got in here?¡± Zhao Yuan asked the shopkeeper.


    ¡°Noment,¡± the shopkeeper said coldly.


    ¡°If you are not interested in me, why did you especially find a few brats in secret to fraternize with me and touted here as an awesome ce? As far as I see, it¡¯s no great shakes,¡± Zhao Yuan said. It started half a year ago that there were always some people who tried to let him know the benefits of the highest honor in MO Capital. After bragging about it for quite some time, they seemed to think that he was not interested and hence they stayed quiet for quite a long time. However, once he showed some interest recently, those little tricks instantly popped up one after another. Someone in MO Capital valued him, Zhao Yuan was very clear and sure about that.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t believe that, why does it sound that you are less sure about it recently?¡± With a cold smile, the shopkeeper handed Zhao Yuan a ss of wine.


    One sip of wine and Zhao Yuan said with a smile, ¡°Bear Gall Wine, it can clear hearts and brighten eyes. Since I can tell good from bad, then show me the way to talk in details.¡±


    The shopkeeper was slightly surprised, then he gave a thumbs up to Zhao Yuan and led him to the internal chamber.


    ¡°I will only answer three questions for you,¡± the shopkeeper said, ¡°Let me begin with your first question.¡±


    ¡°Zhang Dong got the credit of ¡®Assistant of Mo¡¯s family¡¯ here. He had only one purpose. It was that he wanted to see someone again and spend some time with this person,¡± the shopkeeper said cidly.


    ¡°So you helped him to be one of the military instructors who were primarily responsible for the military training of Jifu University. And was he mainly in charge of theputer science department? This question is not one of the three questions. You may answer it if you like.¡± After a little thinking, Zhao Yuan quickly understood.


    ¡°Yes, you are brilliant.¡± The shopkeeper handed over an Albero Cigar and lighted it up for him with a diamond-studded Cartier lighter which was made of pure gold.


    ¡°What is Zhang Dong¡¯s mission?¡± Zhao Yuan asked.


    ¡°Get one student from the military academy to work for him and support the student until graduation,¡± the shopkeeper said.


    Zhao Yuan didn¡¯t have to ask who this student was because he could roughly guess that.


    ¡°Where is Zhang Dong now? The address must be urate to the house number,¡± Zhao Yuan asked again.


    ¡°This is the third question. Are you sure that all your three questions are not about the person himself?¡± The shopkeeper smiled slightly.


    ¡°I¡¯m sure. Just the three questions.¡±


    ¡°I can only answer what I know. He is still in the city, but none of you can hope to find him.¡±


    ¡°I have finished asking. Now, it¡¯s your turn,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°What do you want me to do?¡± The shopkeeper picked up a bean sprout gently, dipped it with a little sauce, and then chewed it slowly.


    ¡°To wipe out injustice for someone,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°Where does this persones from? Where did the injustice happen?¡± asked the shopkeeper.


    ¡°People in Yangzi County and injustice also happened there.¡±


    ¡°No problem. The thing you need to do for me is straightforward, as long as you can fight.¡± The shopkeeper washed the Tea Bodhisattva he raised skillfully with the tea.


    ¡°Just say it directly.¡±


    ¡°Get your task at the MO Heaven in the Jiaozi Road, Tianfu District. Someone there will tell you more.¡± The shopkeeper stood up as soon as he finished.


    Zhao Yuan rushed to the MO Heaven without stop. It was a thirty-storied building which was exclusive for the MO. The first 15 stories of the 30-storied building were universal recreation bath centers. However, all the stories above the 15th floor were all richly embellished superb pces for resting. They said that the only key to the rest area of the 16th floor and the above was to have a credit card with a 1 million yuan overdraft at least. Each story would only take four guests per day.


    The ce Zhao Yuan was invited to was on the 3rd floor underground.


    The person in charge let Zhao Yuan watch a match.


    On the big screen, a man with a murderous face was violently punching a man lying on the ground. It looked like the man lying on the ground was already unconscious. Foaming at the mouth, he could only breathe in but couldn¡¯t breathe out.


    ¡°He was sent here by ourpetitor to sabotage our business and upied our King Bonus every time. For the time being, we don¡¯t have apetent person who can help us to get rid of him. So now everything depends on you.¡± The person in charge looked at Zhao Yuan calmly and then took some time to exin the process of participating in thepetition in detail.


    ¡°If you take the task, you should begin your training tonight and take part in the match as early as possible. I should warn you that you are going to y each match on the sign of life and death. Thus, if you don¡¯t do your utmost to win, you may be killed by the people who fell to the ground ying dead long before you enter the final match!¡± the person in charge said.


    Zhao Yuan nodded seriously.


    He could only fight to the death.


    A few days ago.


    The public security bureau officially informed Zhao Yuan that his father, Zhao Mingjiang, was formally arrested for murder.


    Faint and dizzy, Zhao Yuan hurried to the other side of the small city where his father used to purchase goods. He was familiar with everything there, but only not the solemn and awe-inspiring public security bureau.


    When his father Zhao Mingjiang was purchasing the goods, he came across the criminal who raped his wife that year. The man fled after hemitted the crime, and didn¡¯t know whether the man was protected or somehow that there was no news from him for the past ten years or so. However, that man provoked his father in broad daylight. Then in a huff, his father hurled the weight violently at the head of that man. Seeing that man keep twitching and his blood streaming down from his head, his father whose eyes were red with anger continued to hit the weight vehemently on that man until the man was lying on the ground and couldn¡¯t move anymore. His father called the police himself and waited there for the police officers to lock both of his hands with burnished handcuffs. It was a pair of calloused hands, typically belonged to a farmer. With such a pair of hands, his father once had everything under perfect control and vowed to build the tallest building in the small city named after his wife.


    The decision of life and death was made only in a moment. It was so easy to blur good and evil.


    The rape case of the year had been filed a long time ago. Initially, the evidence was verified. But then, the evidence was missing, and it became a case of pendency. It was impossible to prove that the rapist his father said was the man who was killed by his father. Even worse, Zhao Yuan could never unearth the crime the manmitted, and so that man became an innocent victim instead.


    Zhao Yuan suddenly understood why that man dared to swagger around and didn¡¯t even bother to avoid his father. Perhaps the evidence was destroyed recently! Fortunately, the local police station also found this such that they hadn¡¯t yet convicted his father, and so the situation of his father could still be remedied.


    Zhao Yuan¡¯s first thought was to turn to Lin Wenxi¡¯s father Lin Ziwei for help. Lin Ziwei looked into his father¡¯s case once though he left the case unsettled eventually. However, Lin Ziwei must have grasped lots of truths in that case.

 Chapter 108 (Confronting So Severe Threats, Zhao Yuan’s Father Was Near to Death)

    <h4>Chapter 108 (Confronting So Severe Threats, Zhao Yuan¡¯s Father Was Near to Death)</h4>


    Zhao Mingjiang Was Now in Danger Because a Condemned Prisoner Tried to Assassinate Him


    ¡°Are you Zhao Mingjiang¡¯s son?¡± Lin Ziwei was very surprised.


    ¡°Yes,¡± said Zhao Yuan, red-eyed.


    ¡°I cannot handle this thing for the time being,¡± Lin Ziwei said briefly.


    ¡°Uncle Lin, I know that your identity makes you feel a little awkward. But you have previously managed the work of the discipline inspection. Moreover, you have subordinates all over the world. Also, you are in charge of public security and stability maintenance work. Therefore, I believe you can at least rmend someone, right? I¡¯m begging you! No matter what you required, I¡¯d like to do.¡± Zhao Yuan could not help kneeling in a moment of desperation.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to kneel before me. Men have gold under their knees. If there is a way, I won¡¯t sit here and do nothing,¡± Lin Ziwei said calmly and let Hong Xuan help him up.


    No matter how Zhao Yuan pleaded him, Lin Ziwei remain unmoved. Zhao Yuan only felt that there was no way out, and he fell into deep despair. Zhao Yuan was prey to a growing despair. As a son, he knew that his mother had a considerable grievance, but he was unable to avenge her. Then, he watched his fathernguish in jail, but he could not save him. He had arge circle of friends, but it was good for nothing at this crucial moment!


    ¡°Director Lin, this child knows so many things about you!¡± Hong Xuan looked extremely surprised.


    ¡°These things about me are not some big secrets. Zhao Yuan could learn about these if he tried his best to investigate. It¡¯s just that the way he learned...¡± Lin Ziwei took a deep breath and closed his eyes for rest.


    ¡°Yeah! You have asked me to investigate him, and it turned out that this is Chen Wanxin¡¯s boyfriend!¡± Hong Xuan said with concern, ¡°At first we had no idea who had leaked the fact that Wenxi was going to be an exchange student. Wenxi had only spoken to Zhao Yuan and Zhao Yuan must have told Chen Wanxin about it!¡±


    ¡°You have told me this thing once. We¡¯d better leave it there.¡± Lin Ziwei waved his hand with some impatience.


    The moment Hong Xuan found out the rtionship between Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin, he was going to teach Zhao Yuan a lesson, but Lin Ziwei stopped him. Hong Xuan still remembered Lin Ziwei¡¯s words at that time.


    ¡°First, whether it was the exchange student happened to have a heart attack, or someone did it on purpose, we have only been specting without any evidence. The person who got caught stated affirmatively that he didn¡¯t know the victim had congenital heart disease. Besides, it was an ident because the person didn¡¯t have any ovep with the victim. No clue could be found to prove that this person did it intentionally, so he had been convicted of involuntary manughter, and this case was closed. Second, even if someone did it deliberately, can you prove it was Chen Tianjiao who did it? Third, even if you find out the evidence that Chen Tianjiao did it, can you also prove that Chen Wanxin reported it? Chen Tianjiao has been taken the greatest care to protect his daughter, and he also made an appointment with me that we will never let our children get involved in the past grudges. You also had concluded that Chen Wanxin could not possibly know Wenxi¡¯s identity. Fourth, even if none of the above conclusion is right, can you find out whether Zhao Yuan told her unasked or Chen Wanxin made him say it by some means? No, you cannot! Fifth, and most important point, Wenxi said that he didn¡¯t tell the others except Zhao Yuan. But is this reliable? As far as I know, he has been drunk three times in school. Except for Zhao Yuan, a girl named Gu Xi is also his friend, and two other girls also have a good rtionship with him. All of them are in the same dorm with Chen Wanxin.¡±


    ¡°But Wenxi is your child... I am anxious about him!¡± Hong Xuan had to remind his superior who gave him orders though he admired his unusually cool head.


    ¡°You treats Wenxi as though he were your son, so I understand your irritation. However, you went to reason things out with him and even taught him a good lesson in the absence of any rigorous evidence and logic. Even if you have any of this, you don¡¯t have to resort to violent means, understand? As a man in your forties, it should not be your way of thinking!¡± At the time, Lin Ziwei was indeed very furious.


    ¡°Keep an eye on Zhao Yuan some more time and keep me informed at any time.¡± Lin Ziwei only told him to do so.


    Hong Xuan did what Lin Ziwei told him to do. He found Zhao Yuan rarely went to Chen Wanxin¡¯s residence. Usually, the two of them were more like strangers. Instead, Zhao Yuan was extremely concerned about Lin Wenxi, sincerely.


    Hong Xuan came to his sense. Seeing that Lin Ziwei still close his eyes meditatively and remained silent, he could not help asking, ¡°Since that is so and we have been following up the case, why cannot we tell Zhao Yuan something? After all, Zhao Yuan is Zhao Mingjiang¡¯s son, and he may know something that we haven¡¯t yet known. Moreover, he probably doesn¡¯t want to get Wenxi involved in. He is so smart that he always remembers what you have told him before.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s always wise to y safe! If Zhao Yuan knows that we are helping, he will always ask us how everything is going. What if he reveals something to the wrong person? Then, in due course, he will surely keep close contact with us. In that way, Wenxi will know this thing sooner orter. Thus, it is better to let himpletely give up the idea and wait for the result without anxiety. When the truth of this case hase out, he will be relieved!¡± Lin Ziwei could not help giving Hong Xuan a resentful stare.


    ¡°Brother Wei always thinks everything more thoroughly than me... Hehe...¡± Hong Xuan smiled first embarrassedly.


    Soon after Zhao Yuan returned from Lin Ziwei¡¯s ce, he learned that someone in prison attacked Zhao Mingjiang and he was severely hurt. That person was already sentenced to death for murder before he did this. Therefore, he didn¡¯t mind killing one more person, and he was executed some time ago.


    At this moment, the people in the prison could choose to save Zhao Mingjiang or not. After they paid a portion of his medical expense, they were ready to give him up. But unexpectedly, a man took the initiative to go to prison and promised to pay the rest of the medical expense, which gave Zhao Mingjiang a chance to continue the treatment. Otherwise, he would eventually die quickly in prison, and he would be sent to the funeral house for cremation. Then what was waiting for Zhao Yuan would be only a cinerary casket.


    Zhao Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Why would my father be confined together with a criminal who was guilty of murder and was going to be executed soon? Why would the criminal attack my father?¡±


    ¡°All the clues have already been disconnected.¡±


    ¡°Who is manipting all this? Who is it exactly that has tried every means to destroy all the evidence?¡±


    Zhao Yuan saw Zheng Zihuan, his father¡¯s best friend, who had been taking care of his father when he was seriously ill. Although Zheng Zihuan was able to bear the medical expense, he looked terribly distressed already. Holding the hands of the handsome thin man, Zhao Yuan cried bitterly with his heart bleeding. After that, Zhao Yuan transferred the ownership of the stores in his family to someone else and used up all the support from friends and rtives. And he even sold the house in which his father and mother had been stayed together morning and night without informing his father.


    However, his father was still struggling between life and death, soberly.


    In the past few days, Zhao Yuan¡¯s life had been turned upside down.


    After he had heard that anyone who won any top-notch award in MO Capital could turn a desperate situation into a wonderful one, he immediately tried without the slightest hesitation. Zhao Yuan firmly believed that now he was even capable of killing and burning, let alone merely fight desperately for his father. If he could really get what he wanted and sessfully brought his father¡¯s grievances to light, he would be most willing to join the mysterious organization.


    Underground fatal boxing had always been a way for the people in this city to make fortunes. Any boxer who could help bankers win the bet would get a handsome reward. When a high reward was offered, brave fellows were bound toe forward. Zhao Yuan was one of the brave fellows who would like to take the risk.


    Lying quietly in the ward with tubes attached to his whole body, Zhao Mingjiang was still in aa.


    Zhao Mingjiang didn¡¯t want to die. He wanted to live. He also wanted to run his live well and get to the bottom of everything that had happened. However, he knew that only his son could realize the wishes of him. Zhao Yuan¡¯s ability was limited, and he knew full well his daily expense. If it were not for generous financial support from his long-forgotten old friend Zheng Zihuan, it would probably be thest time his son saw him when Zhao Yuan left home for school after the summer vacation.


    Zhao Yuan kept back his tears manly and continued to talk about those past events with Zheng Zihuan, trying to make Zhao Mingjiang wake up soon.


    Zhao Yuan was not surprised at all that this Zheng Zihuan knew his family affairs very well. Zheng Zihuan knew how beautiful Zhao Yuan¡¯s mother was, how his beautiful mother agreed to marry his humble father. He also knew that how she shouted loudly that she would beat her boy to death once he came out when she had difficulty in giving birth to Zhao Yuan, but then she still took good care of her boy Zhao Yuan.


    However, the smell of death was still hanging over Zhao Mingjiang. In just several seconds, that person stabbed him ten more times. He was fortunate enough to survive from that.


    Sometimes, Zhao Yuan wondered whether his father would pass away once Zheng Zihuan had finished recalling all his father¡¯s life. But he didn¡¯t want that. He wanted his father to see with his own eyes that after graduation, his son who was not a person of no particr talent had the strength to let the scale of destiny lean to his end atst once he got a great tform!


    Zhao Yuan would make it at all costs.

 Chapter 109 (Zheng Kai Was Very Annoyed) Facing the East Wind Together, Each of Them Looked Troubled

    <h4>Chapter 109 (Zheng Kai Was Very Annoyed) Facing the East Wind Together, Each of Them Looked Troubled</h4>


    Zheng Kai had been distraught recently.


    Because his father asked him to give up the rmendation he got after he became the first in the cross-country race of Jifu University and exchange it for a schrship. However, his father never said a single word about the use of the money. Zheng Kai had thought that if there was no hope for him to be with Chen Wanxin, it was also an excellent choice for him to go abroad as an exchange student once his sophomore year began. Everything might be different when he returned gloriously from the United States.


    But his mother told Zheng Kai on the phone with her nose running and tearsing out that his father might get in trouble outside. After spending all the money saved up for Zheng Kai to take a wife in the future, he also borrowed money here and there and even floated the idea of selling their house in the town.


    Zheng Kai had to ask for a leave to go home.


    ¡°This is the life-saving money for emergencies! I prepared it for my brother! How many more fucking times do I have to tell you?¡± Facing his father who screamed hysterically and almost lost his senses, Zheng Kai had to hold his mother Guo Ciyun in his arms and patted her thin shoulder gently. Zheng Kai gathered less and separated more with his parents since his childhood, but he still remembered that he enjoyed his mother¡¯s tenderness the most when his harsh father treated him that way, even though he no longer needed such a touching love andfort from his mother since his early youth.


    Zheng Kaipromised.


    ¡°He never paid the slightest attention to us, and he treated you heartlessly as if you were not his son! In his eyes, there is only his brother. So many years, A¡¯kai, I feel so bitter in my heart, so bitter! When you settle down into a marriage, I will, I will tell you everything... Www...¡± Zheng Kai firmly remembered the words his mother said while crying. In Zheng Kai¡¯s memory, his mother never cried so hysterically. She cried like her grievances and sadness of these years all broke out at the moment.


    Maybe Wang Xiang was right that energy was conserved so no one would always be unlucky. After Zheng Kai solemnly confirmed that he would give up the rmendation, he transferred all the money to his father. In a drunken night, someone held him into her arms with a pair of tender hands. For the first time in his life, he was lying in the arms of a woman other than his mother. Her soft and bulging breasts, as well as her smooth skin, awoke Zheng Kai¡¯s burning desire over the years. That night, he lingered on that woman¡¯s body and indulged himself in an orgy of the flesh.


    At first, Zheng Kai only wanted to enjoy one night of sex. Seeing that the girl also made love with him out of her willingness, he considered nothing else but sex. But he suddenly remembered the warmth Gu Xi left on his lips that night. Henceforth, Zheng Kai had a new girlfriend, Lu Sisi.


    This day, Dorm No.216 was finally empty. Zheng Kai went to y basketball early. In some corner, Wang Xiang was loitering. And in the evening, Lin Wenxi usually would go to study. Zhao Yuan had taken a few days off. And carrying with cleaning cloth and cleaning balls, Gu Xi opened the door with his key, and he thought that he would begin to clean the bottom of Zheng Kai¡¯s bed.


    Gu Xi used toe to Dorm No. 216 and did the cleaning, which had formed a habit of him. In his eyes, although Dorm No. 216 of the four boys was in order, it did not mean that the room was clean enough. For example, asionally, some toothpaste would adhere to the wash basin. Sometimes, the wind would blow the socks hanging on the window to the ground. All those things were the reasons why Gu Xi, who was a Virgo, frowned.


    Not to mention that he was already a member of the dorm now.


    Gu Xi saw that some spider webs piled up in the corners of the dorm, and there were also some faint shoe prints on the floor. Moreover, the floor of the washroom did not seem to be very clean either. Thus, he nned to take this opportunity and gave a surprise to all the people in the dorm.


    The door opened, and a girl inside the room stopped while looking at Gu Xi in surprise. She was precisely Zheng Kai¡¯s new girlfriend, Lu Sisi. Holding a rag in her hand, she also wanted to help Zheng Kai do the cleanup.


    With his left hand full of cleaning products, Gu Xi flushed a little and said, ¡°It¡¯s you, my sister-inw. I happened to return the things I have borrowed from Wenxi.¡±


    Lu Sisi smiled coldly and said, ¡°I have heard about the thing that you have been sending breakfast to this dorm. I also know that you oftene here to clean. But I find it very strange. Shouldn¡¯t a boy think more about the things boys always do instead of worrying about the things that girls usually do?¡±


    Gu Xi opened his mouth and tried to say something. But finally, he swallowed the words on his lips, turned his head, and walked away. It was just then that he bumped into the bare-chested Zheng Kai who was sweating and happened toe back.


    ¡°Help me to get some hot water. I need to take a shower,¡± Zheng Kai said casually. He was stunned upon seeing Gu Xi. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t he be studying with Lin Wenxi at this time?¡±


    ¡°I... won¡¯t bother,¡± Gu Xi said. Then he slightly bowed his head and walked out of the dorm silently.


    Tonight, there was no moonlight, and it was very dark outside. It seemed that a thick ck coffin board had blocked the clear and bright Milky Way. Gu Xi felt that he had no other ce to go, so he went to the study room to look for Lin Wenxi. They had their seats there, and they had taken a lot of books to upy their ces there. It was a privilege Zhao Yuan got for Lin Wenxi and Gu Xi as the chairman of the student union. Even Chen Wanxin could not enjoy the privilege.


    But Lin Wenxi was not there.


    ¡°Undoubtedly, he should be studying here. But where is he now? Where should I go?¡±


    Gu Xi felt that there was no need for him to enter this dorm again.


    The girl who brought the meals to Zheng Kai was very attentive. Almost everyone in the dorm benefited from her a lot. Wang Xiang called her sister-inw at her left and then called her again, sweetly at her right. If Zheng Kai bullied him, she could offer shelter for him.


    Of course, Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi had no reason to stop Zheng Kai from officially being in a rtionship with the girl, and so they were also very polite to her. The girl had already be a member of Dorm No. 216. Although Chen Wanxin sometimes might pop up in the dorm and embarrassed her, she could justifiably appear at any party Zheng Kai attended. At the party, she could help Zheng Kai decline the wine others urged him to drink in time. She could hand a cup of water to Zheng Kai and carry his clothes when he yed basketball. Hand in hand, she could also go for a walk with Zheng Kai on the yground and meet the admiring gazes proudly from others¡ªwhat kind of women could be the girlfriend of Zheng Kai who had got the first ce in the cross-country race of Jifu University?


    Gu Xi knew that he had no more excuses always to pester Zheng Kai now because Lu Sisi had even taken away his extremely humble little wishes to do anything that he could do for Zheng Kai like cleaning his dorm, taking extra care of Zheng Kai¡¯s tabletop and bed. He had not yed around with Zheng Kai for a long time since she had already upied him fully.


    If there was one excuse for Gu Xi to stay, it would be Lin Wenxi. Gu Xi always believed that he and Lin Wenxi were two of a kind that they would fall in love with boys. Gu Xi always felt grateful that Lin Wenxi had shared with him lots of the words which he didn¡¯t want to talk to Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Even Wenxi has covered something to me. Going to study in the evening has already be our unshakeable habit. If he doesn¡¯t go to study, he will tell me the reason and even discuss it with me.¡±


    Gu Xi did not know that Lin Wenxi at the moment had the same mixed feelings as his.


    ¡°Something happened to Zhao Yuan.¡± On Lin Wenxi¡¯s way to study, Chen Wanxin left quickly after she casually said the sentence to him. Lin Wenxi had no choice but to follow closely behind her.

 Chapter 110 (You Wanted to Be With Me) Yearnings Between Lovers Were Deeper Than the Oceans

    <h4>Chapter 110 (You Wanted to Be With Me) Yearnings Between Lovers Were Deeper Than the Oceans</h4>


    It was a building that Lin Wenxi had never been before. With ease, Chen Wanxin scanned the elevator card in the underground garage and went directly to the third floor underground. The boxing match in the field was in full swing, and the scene in the ring looked extremely horrifying¡ªboth of the two boxers who were fighting with blood covering their bodies. After a great cry, all the audience in the field uttered exmations. Lin Wenxi could tell that they were cheering for the exciting and bloody match, not because they worried about the yer who fell to the ground, hovering between life and death.


    Upon seeing such a thrilling match, Lin Wenxi was much terrified.


    ¡°Do you know that Zhao Yuan will appear in the ring soon?¡± Chen Wanxin said calmly.


    ¡°No, it¡¯s impossible!¡± Immediately, Lin Wenxi heard his heart beat loud.


    ¡°Why is it impossible? To make a bet with me, he yed the match. You also know that Zhao Yuan always likes to bet. If he loses the bet, he will be my boyfriend only and forget anyone else. If Zhao Yuan wins, I will break up with him, and we will go our separate ways since then. By the way, he wants to buy you the most expensive piano with the bonus of the match. Isn¡¯t it a good deal?¡± Chen Wanxin smiled gently behind her hand.


    ¡°What will happen if he loses? How can he win?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°If he loses, it means that he fails to win the championship and he is defeated. If he wins, it means that he beats all the previous champions. Now he is already in the top 16 and the match tonight is the eighth-final. How about that? Why not take a look at it?¡± Chen Wanxin snorted withughter, but she felt a sharp pain as if her heart was being torn apart.


    By ident, Chen Wanxin was invited here to see the seed yers who were about to take part in the match.


    At this point, with sweat dripping from his head, Zhao Yuan just finished his training. He took off the swathing bands wrapped around his hands, and there seemed to be some blood on those bands. Then he poured cold water all over his head, and all his muscles instantly twitched violently. His spine had only knotted muscles, and there was barely any fat around. He had experienced brutal training in the past. The practice in these days was to awaken his physical strength and put himself in a fighting state, and also made him get familiar with the rules of the match.


    Zhao Yuan took a half-month leave. Zhao Yuan told Lin Wenxi that his father, who was now in another province, asked him to take care of his business in case that Lin Wenxi would go to look for him in his hometown. Zhao Yuan called Lin Wenxi seven or eight times a day whenever he was free until Lin Wenxi became a little upset about him, and finally, Lin Wenxi put his heart at rest.


    Zhao Yuan tied up his bath towel and sat silently in the bathhouse of the boxing ring. He lit a cigarette for himself and called someone.


    Chen Wanxin knew that this call was not for her.


    ¡°Boss Yu, this boy is my ssmate. What makes him take part in the match?¡± Chen Wanxin went straight to the boss of the underground boxing field and asked.


    ¡°Mo¡¯s family,¡± Boss Yu answered in short. Chen Wanxin nodded. After a phone call, Luo Yang soon appeared timidly.


    ¡°How many times have I told you that you mustn¡¯t let Zhao Yuan join Mo¡¯s family?¡± Chen Wanxin wished that every word said by her now could turn to stones and she would like to smash the asshole to death with those stones one by one.


    ¡°He came here himself. And it seems that something big has happened to him. Someone said that he wants to wipe out injustice for someone. You see, Boss Mo has gone to investigate the case himself,¡± whispered Luo Yang.


    ¡°Why would Mo Qian attend to the matter personally? Isn¡¯t it a thing usually done by a henchman like you?¡± Chen Wanxin raised her eyebrows and asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s, it¡¯s just because you value him and so Boss Mo concerns about him!¡± Luo Yang said with a smile. But in fact, Luo Yang knew it very clear that only a few keywords, ¡°Zhao,¡± ¡°Yangzi County,¡± and ¡°wipe out an injustice¡± were enough to arouse Mo Qian¡¯s great attention.


    Recently, Lin Ziwei had been keeping track of the unsettled case of that year. Mo Qian was forced to arrange the rapist of that year to provocate Zhao Mingjiang repeatedly because Mo Qian wanted to send Zhao Mingjiang to prison and then kill him there. However, to his surprise, someone in the prison saved Zhao Mingjiang secretly and then there happened to be someone willing to pay his medical expense, which kept Zhao Mingjiang alive for the moment. Butter, when Mo Qian sent someone to kill him once again, the prison suddenly dispatched more people to protect Zhao Mingjiang in the name of the medical parole that the significant criminal needed. Since then, no one could approach Zhao Mingjiang without permission.


    As soon as Mo Qian learned that Chen Wanxin was in a rtionship with Zhao Yuan, he sent Luo Yang to investigate the background of Zhao Yuan. Luo Yang only found from Zhao Yuan¡¯s residence booklet that his father was Zhao Guangli and his mother was Liu Xuehua who was dead. No one had thought that Zhao Mingjiang got the name Zhao Guangli just ording to the generation of his family. The people who knew him only called him Uncle Guang but his real name was Zhao Mingjiang. Only his close rtives and friends would call him his real name. Not until the rapist returned to Yangzi County to hide and spotted Zhao Mingjianging in and out did he hurriedly report it. However, someone took advantage of him, and then he died in the hands of Zhao Mingjiang, which also could be regarded as a sort of cause-and-effect cycle.


    Only after Mo¡¯s family reopened an investigation, Mo Qian knew that Zhao Yuan was the son of Zhao Mingjiang who was also called Zhao Guangli. Therefore, he gave a strict order that even Zhao Yuan won the match, they would dy the time in every way to kill Zhao Mingjiang! How could Luo Yang dare to tell such a thing to Chen Wanxin?


    ¡°Is there any way to make Zhao Yuan quit from the match?¡± asked Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°The things promised by Mo¡¯s family alle at a cost,¡± Luo Yang said, ¡°It is the rule of Mo¡¯s family, and it is even inconvenient for Boss Mo to meddle too much in.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll pay the price.¡± Chen Wanxin said, ¡°As long as Zhao Yuan stays unharmed, you must make him withdraw the match as soon as possible! Remember, you should make him withdraw the match rather than lose the match!¡±


    ¡°Miss, are you considering too much for that guy?¡± Luo Yang groaned.


    ¡°It¡¯s none of your business. Can you cancel the match?¡± asked Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°I cannot. But I know someone who cane up with a solution,¡± said Luo Yang.


    ¡°Who is it?¡±


    ¡°Your deadly rival, Lin Wenxi.¡±


    ¡°His daddy will only mess up our field! What are the benefits for us?¡± Chen Wanxin asked.


    ¡°I guess in private that they will abandon this field sooner orter. Only this time, it is Lin Ziwei who will send someone to smash it. We can see what exactly Lin Ziwei is capable of this time, and some of his people will also show their faces,¡± Luo Yang said.


    Chen Wanxin nodded and felt what he said was quite reasonable.


    As a matter of fact, Luo Yang did not understand why Mo Qian would reveal Lin Wenxi¡¯s identity early and even let Chen Wanxin begin to take advantage of Lin Wenxi. Luo Yang had received a strict order not to talk about something like that because it was a matter of life or death. That was why Luo Yang always remained silent when Chen Wanxin became suspicious many times.


    Mo Qian said tly, ¡°Lately, Lin Ziwei investigated too actively. It¡¯s time.¡± It was only that the Chen family and Mo¡¯s family had managed this underground boxing field with painstaking effort for seven or eight years. Together with MO Heaven, they had be the biggest cash cow and underground casino of Mo¡¯s family. If they were all destroyed, it would be a significant loss. Luo Yang did not dare to ask anything about this because he was always somewhat afraid of Mo Qian, who was the boss of Mo¡¯s family.


    So Chen Wanxin naturally found the pale Lin Wenxi who was right in front of her now.


    ¡°How about watching a match first?¡± Chen Wanxin asked.


    ¡°Anything you have told me, I always need to think it over first and then think it twice,¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°Is that so? Then you watch the match. I will go to the bathroom first.¡± With this, Chen Wanxin turned around and walked right away because she really didn¡¯t want to see and also didn¡¯t dare to see Zhao Yuan hurt the slightest when he was fighting on the stage.


    So did Lin Wenxi.


    He had never seen that Zhao Yuan fought so desperately. He saw Zhao Yuan¡¯s look on the big screen. Zhao Yuan¡¯s eyes looked sharp and fierce. He even brutally licked the blood from his mouth corners and swallowed it. Every punch and each kick from him was to kill. He either punched directly at the face or kicked at the vital part of his opponents. There were no restrictions in this match, and boxes were not allowed to wear any protective gear. It seemed that Zhao Yuan could not notice the pain when his opponent punched or kicked at him, and he never retreated.


    Zhao Yuan fell to the ground and kept rolling to avoid his opponent¡¯s foot which trampled down to kill.


    Zhao Yuan stood up and fought back.


    Zhao Yuan won the match. Raising his arms, he shouted loudly and then he stumbled down the stage.


    ¡°Call him to confirm all of this,¡± Chen Wanxin said while smiling.


    Lin Wenxi picked up his phone, but it rang. It was Zhao Yuan. It should be the time point when Lin Wenxi finished his study in the evening, and Zhao Yuan called him to ask how he was doing as always.


    ¡°Wenxi, today, I found the quality of the tile of a brand is pretty good, and its waterproof function ispelling. We do not seem to have such kind of goods!¡± Zhao Yuan smiled happily.


    ¡°How many times higher of the price that you n to resell it?¡± Lin Wenxi asked in a deep voice.


    ¡°You say how many times higher of the price, then we will sell it at that price. It¡¯s all up to you, of course!¡± Holding his phone, Zhao Yuan¡¯s both hands couldn¡¯t help quivering violently for the fierce fight that he just went through.


    ¡°I, I won¡¯t say that you are a profiteer any more. When will you be back?¡± Lin Wenxi asked in a trembling voice.


    ¡°I will be back soon, and I am going to bring you a present, a big surprise!¡± Zhao Yuan looked extremely excited on the phone. Behind the ss, Lin Wenxi gazed at Zhao Yuan silently in a corner. At this moment, Zhao Yuan was putting ice on his legs with one hand.


    ¡°I miss you,¡± Lin Wenxi murmured.


    ¡°Hey! Which part of me do you miss? Is it my upper body or my lower body? Is it my mouth, my chest, or my arms?¡± Zhao Yuan asked, grinning.


    ¡°I ask you, you...¡± Lin Wenxi opened his mouth and uttered something blur. Then he found that he couldn¡¯t say anything at all and he only wanted to cry. It was only until now that he finally understood the kind of feeling when he wanted to cry but had no tears, he wanted to shout out loud but had no voice. With tears filling Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes, he covered his mouth and clenched his teeth, not allowing himself to make any abnormal noise.


    ¡°Today the temperature on your side has dropped again. When you go out, remember to wear your gloves that have the avatar of Inuyasha on them. You like that dog the most, don¡¯t you? When I go back, you can rap sharply on my head with your knuckles for several times, and I won¡¯t resist. Is that okay?¡±


    ¡°I have repaired the water heater, so there is more hot water now. Don¡¯t talk to others about that...¡±


    ¡°The mat of your bed is a bit thin. Haven¡¯t you noticed that it is thicker? Because I brought you a warm nket before I took my days off. You little boy didn¡¯t thank me for that! You haven¡¯t found that, right?¡±


    ¡°I found...¡±


    ¡°Wenxi, what¡¯s wrong with you? Are you crying?¡± Zhao Yuan¡¯s voice sounded very anxious. Lin Wenxi saw Zhao Yuan stand up, stumble a bit and almost fall. But he still smiled tenderly.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine. I guess I miss you so much today...¡± Lin Wenxi burst into tears. Seeing that Zhao Yuan held the wall and spun around with anxious in the lounge, Lin Wenxi scurried out.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, I miss you. I miss you so much that it even hurts me a lot to breathe, do you know that? Early... pleasee back early!¡± Lin Wenxi hung up the phone in a hurry. Then he hid in a corner by the roadside. He cried with his head down. His shoulders were trembling, up and down. After a long time, a burst of heart-breaking crying sounded, even passers-by couldn¡¯t bear to hear it. Lin Wenxi said to Zhao Yuan in his heart. ¡°Even if you don¡¯t break up with Wanxin, I won¡¯t mind. I only throw a tantrum asionally. I know that.¡±


    ¡°That day, you were not making the best of the mistake. You wanted to be with me, right?¡±

 Chapter 111 (What Am I?) When True Is Taken for False, False Becomes True

    <h4>Chapter 111 (What Am I?) When True Is Taken for False, False Bes True</h4>


    ¡°So do I have to ask you once again? How do you choose? Do you choose to let him win, or let him lose?¡± asked Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°Hum, as long as he doesn¡¯t take part in the match, there will be no win or loss.¡± Lin Wenxi gave a cold smile.


    Chen Wanxin did not expect that Lin Wenxi would say this. She felt sad and happy upon hearing his words. She felt sad because ording to Lin Wenxi¡¯s character, he would make every effort to find a solution. However, once Lin Wenxi got involved in it, it seemed that Zhao Yuan¡¯s feelings of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness on this matter would have nothing to do with her anymore. That was why she felt sad at the same time.


    Lin Wenxi stumbled away. Although he wanted to see Zhao Yuan very much, he managed to keep an extremely clear head. Lin Wenxi thought to himself. ¡°Chen Wanxin will not turn a blind eye to Zhao Yuan. As for me, I cannot keep myself from saying some impulse words once I see him. He is a fool. What a fool!¡± When he faced the wind, his tears wereing down again, and he could not restrain his tears until he spotted Gu Xi, who squatted by the pir, painfully waiting for him toe back.


    ¡°Gu Xi,¡± Lin Wenxi brushed away his tears and said hoarsely.


    ¡°Wenxi... Where have you been?¡± Gu Xi slowly stood up from the ground and threw himself into the arms of Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°You... Have you been up here all the time? And why didn¡¯t you call me ?¡± Feeling sorry for him, Lin Wenxi caressed Gu Xi¡¯s hair.


    ¡°I am afraid that you have some important things to do. And I am afraid. I am afraid that you just ignored me.¡± Gu Xi pouted, and he did not dare to look up at Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°What happened?¡± asked Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°I am fine. I just felt like that no one wanted me anymore when you were not here,¡± Gu Xi whispered.


    ¡°Your Sister An¡¯an, Sister Xiaoman, and Sister Nannan, all of them like you very much. You can go to y with them.¡± His words touched Lin Wenxi who couldn¡¯t help smiling.


    ¡°An¡¯an is overwhelmed by her affairs. I have told you about Xiaoman¡¯s condition. Well, Wang Zhengjuan often brings Nannan to home recently, which seemingly gives Nannan a headache. Why do I feel that after we entered the sophomore year, everyone seems to be one year older such that many people are getting busy and lots of things also beplicated all in a sudden,¡± said Gu Xi.


    ¡°We all have long since grown up.¡± Lin Wenxi smiled. ¡°Right, we all have grown up. I guess we should at least be more mature in dealing with things.¡± He remembered the photos he took just now in the underground boxing field, and he could also use them as irrefutable evidence to prove that the boxing field was involved in prostitution and drugs. As soon as he entered the field, he realized that phones were not allowed there. But since Chen Wanxin coulde and go freely, he also dared to pay attention to everything and took photos when he wanted to because of his rtionship with her, even if the security guards in the field had noticed him already.


    ¡°Sometimes, I only want to stay in high school when we were all in the Green Field Military Academy. Anyway, I can never go back.¡± Gu Xi eximed.


    ¡°Talk to me all about your recent events.¡± Lin Wenxi sighed slightly, squatted down, and looked at Gu Xi while smiling.


    Gu Xi felt pain and regret.


    ¡°I just could not help...¡± Losing his self-control, Gu Xi cried on Lin Wenxi¡¯s shoulder.


    ¡°Your situation is much harder than mine. You know perfectly well that Zheng Kai is not gay, then why should you...¡± Lin Wenxi caressed Gu Xi¡¯s head fondly.


    ¡°Perhaps, people like us are all like this. We insist on seeking our doom, even when we know it is impossible. Wenxi, what about you? If, I mean, by any chance, you also find out that it is impossible for you and Zhao Yuan to be together, what will you do?¡± asked Gu Xi.


    ¡°Then, I¡¯ll find another lover.¡± Lin Wenxi shrugged.


    ¡°Do your family know about the rtionship between you and Zhao Yuan?¡± Gu Xi asked.


    Lin Wenxi shook his head.


    ¡°I told my family long ago. After bickering for years, my mom simply chose to treat me as a girl.¡±


    Lin Wenxi gave Gu Xi a thumbs up.


    ¡°Will you let your family know?¡± Blinking his eyes, Gu Xi asked with wet tear stains hanging at the corners of his eyes.


    ¡°I¡¯ll know when it¡¯s time. Now, I am not very sure about some things.¡±


    ¡°Is it because of Zhao Yuan? He praises you to the skies, and he is so good to you, right? However, he has never told anyone about his rtionship with you. And he has never admitted his feelings for you, even to me, hasn¡¯t he? Sometimes, you envy Sister Nannan, do you? You envy her that she has Wang Zhengjuan, who is willing to dere her love for her in any corner of the world, do you?¡± Gu Xi asked.


    Lin Wenxi turned his head away.


    ¡°In fact, these are not the questions that I wanted to ask you. It¡¯s just because that one day, I had talked with An¡¯an about all of this. She wanted me to tell you that you don¡¯t need to worry about all of this. Besides, Sister Nannan not really felt pleased to see Wang Zhengjuan tell everyone she met that Nannan was her girlfriend. After all, many people don¡¯t quite understand their rtionship, and they evenughed at them as if their rtionship was some joke. Wang Zhengjuan had already made their parents know it because she said that she wanted to fight fire with fire. However, Sister Nannan wanted to let nature take its course.¡± Gu Xi sighed, not without grief.


    ¡°Really?¡± Lin Wenxi was somewhat curious. For if Zhao Yuan told anyone that he loved him, Lin Wenxi would probably fall in a faint on the spot with happiness.


    ¡°During that time at the beginning of the semester, Nannan never came to school because she had fallen out with her family. Her family heard that Wang Zhengjuan was also at school such that they would let her go to school only after she promised them that she wouldn¡¯t have any dealings with Wang Zhengjuan in the future. Later on, she fled from her home by herself, and then her family cut off her source of ie. So now, basically, she was kept by Wang Zhengjuan. However, Sister Nannan sincerely hopes that she can provide for herself. She had got a part-time job to do architectural design. But Wang Zhengjuan stuck with her all the time such that she could not get a space of her own. You tell me, do you want someone to take possession of you in such a crazy way?¡± Gu Xi asked.


    For a while, Lin Wenxi was speechless. He then said with a smile. ¡°Originally, we were talking about Zheng Kai. How did we start to talk about me? And then, how did we mention Nannan? I hope that everybody can be better, be much better. I also wish that we can all reach the other shore at the end of the time.¡±


    ¡°I just don¡¯t know how far the time can go and how far the people behind the time can go?¡± Gu Xi said with a beaming smile.


    ¡°Do you know Red Spider Lily?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    Gu Xi nodded.


    ¡°In front of me, the smile on your face just now blossomed like a flower, which looked lustrous and brilliant. However, behind you, your sadness spread all over the mountains and ins, like a boundless sea of bitterness. Xi, don¡¯t be too hard on yourself,¡± said Lin Wenxi. At this time, they saw Wang Xiange up to them in drunk. He directly squatted before Lin Wenxi, and the smell of wine on his body instantly assailed their nostrils.


    ¡°Bitter? You all know what you are. But for me, I don¡¯t even f*cking know what I am. Who, who is more bitter? Sweet... It is sweet. Drink it!¡± With this, he lifted a pot of Chinese medicine and was about to pour it into Lin Wenxi¡¯s mouth.


    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Lin Wenxi frowned.


    ¡°Do you know? Xiaoman, that evil girl, made the pot of Chinese medicine with red flowers, the seed of Job¡¯s tears, and Angelica. What the f*ck! I cannot believe that she made it so that she could help An¡¯an abort my child, the child of us,¡± Wang Xiang mumbled, ¡°An¡¯an doesn¡¯t want this child. She doesn¡¯t want...¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t she drink it? She should go to the hospital!¡± Lin Wenxi turned pale with fright.


    ¡°You see... Even you think so too. You don¡¯t believe me, am I right? You also think that I don¡¯t love An¡¯an enough, do you? Why? I want, I want this child!¡± Wang Xiang grabbed Lin Wenxi¡¯s cor.


    ¡°Look at your behaviors. Do you think you look like someone who is going to take the responsibility to be a father? How many people crave to be a father, but they cannot?¡± Gu Xi said in a low voice.


    ¡°Is that so? I don¡¯t deserve this child. Anyway, I am not f*cking qualified to be a father!¡± Wang Xiang stared at Lin Wenxi, his eyes widening. ¡°Why I, why I envy you?¡±


    Gu Xi and Lin Wenxi dragged and pulled Wang Xiang with all their strength, and finally, they managed to move him back to the dorm.


    ¡°Hit me. Brother Kai, hit me a p, okay?¡± Wang Xiang jumped on Zheng Kai once again. Then, he hung on in his bed and stopped moving.


    Zheng Kai threw a quilt on Wang Xiang¡¯s butt and went out with Lu Sis, sullenly. In the end, he dropped a warning. ¡°Don¡¯t spit on my bed, or else I will torture you to death tomorrow!¡±


    ¡°Torture me to death... Great... I hope, I hope that you can torture me to death...¡± Wang Xiang murmured vaguely. Lin Wenxi was on the run, serving him tea and water. After a long while, Lin Wenxi finally could sit down at ease, and then he sent all the photos he took in the boxing field to Lin Ziwei.

 Chapter 112 (He Must Also Stay Awake) In My Heart I Am Fond of You, but You Are Not Aware

    <h4>Chapter 112 (He Must Also Stay Awake) In My Heart I Am Fond of You, but You Are Not Aware</h4>


    Far into the night, Zhao Yuan packed up everything and returned to the small room he rented temporarily. It was a vige in the city, so there were no roadmpste at night. Zhao Yuan was in the darkness, and he couldn¡¯t even see his hand.


    At this moment, Zhao Yuan felt like that all the dormant pains on his body woke up. Burning pains radiated all over his body, especially on his knees. Strolling, he went each step with all his strength.


    ¡°I want to call Lin Wenxi again. Somehow, when such a big thing happened to my family and me, I even have spent more time in missing him than thinking of my father. At the thought of that boy¡¯s smile, I felt my heart is full of strength at once. I want to do my best to guard all of this.¡±


    ¡°But what if I died in the boxing ring?¡±


    Zhao Yuan suddenly understood that what he feared previously was not the death. Instead, he was afraid that he could never again see such a smile as brilliant as fireworks, look into such a pair of expressive eyes, and hug that warm body.


    ¡°Wenxi,¡± Zhao Yuan thought, ¡°I miss you, too.¡±


    ¡°It seems that someone is following me.¡±


    Zhao Yuan held his shlight tight. He waited until the noise that someone made approached him. All of a sudden, he turned on the shlight and shot the beam of light there. While Zhao Yuan sounded a scream of Chen Wanxin, he saw her turn pale with fear.


    ¡°Why are you here?¡± Zhao Yuan asked coldly.


    ¡°Do you think that I don¡¯t know what the things you need to do?¡± Trying her best to stand firm, Chen Wanxin put down her hand that covered her eyes and said.


    ¡°What are the things that you have known?¡± asked Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know the reason, but I know what you are going to do,¡± Chen Wanxin replied.


    ¡°I don¡¯t need your help.¡± With this, Zhao Yuan handed the shlight to Chen Wanxin and said to her, ¡°Go back on your own.¡±


    In a sh, a warm fuzzy feeling went through Chen Wanxin¡¯s heart. She still did not want to leave after taking the shlight. ¡°I just, I just want to take a look at the ce where you live.¡±


    ¡°It is too small to receive an honored guest like you.¡± Zhao Yuan refused.


    ¡°I, am I your honored guest?¡± Chen Wanxin asked with a smile.


    At this moment, Zhao Yuan finally noticed that Chen Wanxin only wore a severely in robe. The marten shawl usually around her neck was not there, and the scarlet leather gloves on her hands were gone, either. The shoes on her feet were the ordinary fluffy shoes girls wore for the winter. Under the light, her face looked simple and pure, but she looked more gracious in this natural style than in her nobledy posture in usual.


    ¡°What do you want to do?¡± asked Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, I am still your nominal girlfriend, so of course I can enter your room. You can surely shut me out. But I will not leave even if I may freeze to death on the street!¡± While Chen Wanxin was speaking, she began to take off her coat.


    Zhao Yuan knocked her hands away and buttoned up her coat. ¡°Just go.¡±


    ¡°These are the best medicines for traumatic injuries. You can use them,¡± said Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Chen Wanxin began to unwrap the package, and then she squeezed out the ointment little by little. ¡°Do you need me to take off your clothes? Since when did you also be a little girl?¡±


    ¡°No need.¡±


    ¡°You are afraid of me, are you? You feel sorry for me, so you refuse me thoroughly, right?¡± Chen Wanxin smiled coldly while looking at Zhao Yuan, motionless.


    With a somber face, Zhao Yuan quickly took off the clothes on his upper body, rolled up his trousers and sat cross-legged on the bed.


    From his cheeks to his forehead, neck, shoulders, back, thighs, calves, and knees, extravasated blood and bumps covered his whole body. And it was quite evident that these injuries had scarcely got repaired and treated.


    The moment Chen Wanxin applied the white ointment to his forehead, Zhao Yuan still did not utter a sound and kept his icily cold look as if all the wounds on his body had nothing to do with him.


    But Chen Wanxin murmured in her heart. ¡°It hurts a lot, but why don¡¯t you even frown a bit? At this very moment, I¡¯d rather you cry out!¡±


    A drop of tear fell on Zhao Yuan¡¯s skin, ice-cold.


    Zhao Yuan slightly frowned.


    Chen Wanxin ground her teeth all the time until she covered all his wounds with the ointment. Then she could not restrain her tears anymore and burst into tears. But Zhao Yuan still sat cross-legged, unmoved. He just let the piercingly cold wind lift the edge of his coat and gnaw at his skin. In fact, Zhao Yuan enjoyed embracing the freezing cold in the middle of the night in winter.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan! I will not force you to do anything anymore, and I will never put pressure on you! I only hope that I can do something for you as your friend!¡± Chen Wanxin croaked and dropped down into the chair.


    ¡°I know that you never like me. I also know that all of this is only my wishful thinking. Just allow me to apany you for a few days, okay?¡±


    Zhao Yuan shook his head. ¡°My business, you cannot handle.¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t deal with your business. You are a man of indomitable spirit, so you certainly can find a way to handle it! However, I will still do my best to help you! On this point, you also have no right to control me!¡± said Chen Wanxin.


    After a moment of silence, Zhao Yuan looked up and happened to see the pair of clear eyes of Chen Wanxin. What kind of eyes did she have? Her eyes looked so calm and determined! Zhao Yuan couldn¡¯t help but turn away his face.


    The door closed. Zhao Yuan did not know when Chen Wanxin left.


    Outside of the building, Chen Wanxin looked back at the windows of Zhao Yuan¡¯s room, and thought, ¡°Even the lights in his room look lonely and sad. At many nights that have passed, he must also stay awake!¡±


    Her tears dripped down once again. ¡°Zhao Yuan didn¡¯t dare to look at my eyes because he was afraid that he might fall in love with me. Zhao Yuan, couldn¡¯t you give me a chance topete fairly with Lin Wenxi?¡±


    Chen Wanxin stumbled around and no longer cared about how much mud was on her feet. She felt her way forward on the muddy path, leaving deep and shallow footprints behind. ¡°In the darkness of the night, how did that mane back alone with wounds covering all over his body? How did he deal with the wounds by himself? And how did he go out early in the next morning, full of fighting spirit? But when he talked with Lin Wenxi on the phone, his voice sounded so soft and gentle...¡±


    Chen Wanxin looked up at the dark merciless night, only feeling that she might not stop shedding her tears.


    A beam of light came from her back, and the path under her feet suddenly became clear. Now, Chen Wanxin could see the whole way crystal clear, including the hollows, rocks, and mud on it.


    Chen Wanxin stopped silently, raised her head to look at the sky, and her smile bloomed from her tears.


    Lin Wenxi heard from Chen Wanxin that the progress of the match went on very rapidly. Last night, it was the quarterfinals. Tonight, it was the final four. The night after tomorrow would be the final match. He also knew that the opponent Zhao Yuan needed to confront in the final match would be the extremely horrifying Gold Champion who had won eighteen matches in a row. The Gold Champion had already killed one person. Hence, thetest deadline to stop Zhao Yuan from taking part in this match would be the day after tomorrow.


    When Chen Wanxin mentioned a matter of life and death, the look on her seemed solemn but extremely calm, as if it was not something essential for her. Lin Wenxi immediately felt rather strange. ¡°It seems that Chen Wanxin knows it for sure that I can sessfully stop Zhao Yuan! Chen Wanxin, she must have known my background! I am afraid that her purpose cannot be that simple! But what else can I do?¡±


    During the day, Lin Wenxi would chat with Zhao Yuan as long as he was free. But, when it waste at night, he usually felt too anxious to sleep.


    Hong Yan, Hong Xuan¡¯s daughter, had told him that Hong Xuan was very busy every day in the past two days, and Hong Xuan only mentioned that he would not go home to rest tomorrow night.


    ¡°Tomorrow night is the final match. I still have time,¡± Lin Wenxi thought.


    After getting through another long day, Zhao Yuan seemed to be all right on the phone.


    Initially, Lin Wenxi nned to invite Chen Wanxin to go with him, but Chen Wanxin told him that she had arrived in advance.


    Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Wenxi took a taxi and set off immediately. He could no longer endure the pain of insomnia night after night. He also could not imagine the physical condition after Zhao Yuan went through the quarterfinals, the final four, and the semi-final. Lin Wenxi would feel a sharp pain every time he thought of it!

 Chapter 113 (Wenxi, Why) All Zhao Yuan’s Hardships Went for Nothing Like the Ever-flowing Yangtze

    <h4>Chapter 113 (Wenxi, Why) All Zhao Yuan¡¯s Hardships Went for Nothing Like the Ever-flowing Yangtze</h4>


    ¡°After the final match, I can get the ¡°Mo¡¯s battle¡± credit as long as I try my best. And that I can change a morefortable bed for my father by making use of the considerable champion¡¯s bonus. In the next few months, I may not need to worry too much about my father¡¯s medical expense.¡±


    ¡°Maybe, maybe I can join in the selective matches every timeter on such that I can transfer my father to another hospital.¡±


    Zhao Yuan thought to himself while walking on his way to the boxing field, and his hands slightly trembled.


    Chen Wanxin held his hands and pressed them against her face. The fists¡¯ master guarded the fate of his family in the most primitive way. She believed that her thousands of ck hair would only dance for him.


    Zhao Yuan looked at her silently. Her ming red lips were close at hand, and her pair of bright eyes gazed at him. Now, they only need a passionate kiss to be the hero and the beauty, the universally epted perfect couple since ancient times. But Zhao Yuan shook his head and smiled apologetically to Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°That¡¯s enough, right?¡± Chen Wanxin thought. However, she did not know that another person shed across Zhao Yuan¡¯s heart at this time. That person fell in the darkness, but he took the initiative to press his lips against Zhao Yuan¡¯s, and it was the actual first kiss of Zhao Yuan. The sweetness at that time seemed to be the evil influence which entangled Zhao Yuan tighter as time passed, and it seemed that he could never escape from it.


    When Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin came near to the boxing field, they saw police cars encircled the ce, the red and blue dazzling warning lights made both of them feel a little flustered.


    Zhao Yuan grabbed Chen Wanxin and quickly ran up to the nearestmercial building with her. They looked down to the distance from the upper floor and saw a scene that made them copse.


    Many people lined up and walked out of the underground boxing field almost in the same posture¡ªall their hands were tied behind their back. In the boxing field, there was a desk decorated with a golden thumb. Initially, the desk was the ce where they did the match exnations, and where people added the ante. But now, two teams of people with helmets wearing camouge clothing and ck armors were carrying out the desk from the field.


    Zhao Yuan pulled Chen Wanxin and rushed outside the police wall. He even specifically stopped the people who had gathered to watch the fun to ask the reason. Chen Wanxin witnessed that Zhao Yuan had already stopped seven to eight passersby like mad and kept asking, ¡°What happened in there?¡± Those passersby either shook their head, or were frightened by his utterly distracted look, or shook him off immediately.


    No answer was precisely the best answer.


    ¡°Brother Yuan! Please stop. I beg you...¡± Chen Wanxin hugged Zhao Yuan from behind, trying to stop him.


    ¡°Gone, all is gone.¡± All in a sudden, Zhao Yuan looked like that all his strength was pulled away. He dropped down on the steps, and his eyes looked haggard.


    ¡°What should I do?¡± With his red and swollen eyes, Zhao Yuan who felt that he had no way out now looked at Chen Wanxin and threw himself into her arms like a child.


    To ask for help, he used to post his difficult situation on the inte and even employed online ghostwriters. But in this world, too many people were suffering, so not everyone could attract public attention. ¡°I signed a contract with my previous employer, where I had done a part-time job. Its prepaid payment was limited, and I had spent all the money. Those rtives and friends who can help also did their best already. Even the house of my family was... I am homeless now!¡±


    After resting for a short while, Zhao Yuan stood up, took Chen Wanxin¡¯s hand, and went back. Chen Wanxin knew that Zhao Yuan must have found out a solution. But since he had got to the point where he even needed to fight the underground fatal boxing match to earn the medical expense of his father, what else could he do? Chen Wanxin wanted to see Zhao Yuan crying beside her. Even a moment of crying would be a relief for him and her.


    Perhaps, it was wrong to do like this from the beginning.


    ¡°Brother Yuan! Don¡¯t push yourself too hard, okay? Don¡¯t force yourself to stand up and move on. Cannot you stop for a moment?¡± Chen Wanxin said softly, her tears flowing down inadvertently.


    Zhao Yuan turned around to look at her with a smile. ¡°As long as I still stay alive, I can find a way.¡±


    Hardly had he finished speaking, Chen Wanxin raised her head and kissed Zhao Yuan deeply. Tightly closing her eyes, she felt that the hustle and bustle of the world around them fade away and turned into a quietness. It seemed that the shing neon by their side had be many butterflies, which kept fluttering around them cheerfully. Zhao Yuan knew that in her deep eyes, he was the only one. He was not hardhearted enough to push her away once again.


    When Chen Wanxin opened her eyes, she spotted Lin Wenxi standing not far away. At this moment, she felt that she seemingly didn¡¯t need to grab anything or fight for anything. Facing Lin Wenxi, she felt very calm.


    The figure of Lin Ziwei in a heavily armed car slowly came into Zhao Yuan¡¯s sight. At the same time, he saw the person standing in the near distance was short of breath because of running. It was precisely the person who he had missed for such a long time, which felt like several centuries to him. He had been waiting that he would give him a big hug and kiss him deeply at the end of the game.


    ¡°Wenxi... It was you...¡± Zhao Yuan raced to Lin Wenxi, and it seemed that his eyes were burning.


    ¡°I just hope that you will not get yourself killed,¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°Say everything clearly!¡± Zhao Yuan grabbed Lin Wenxi by his cor.


    Lin Wenxi thought that Zhao Yuan was furious, but he could only see a deep sadness in Zhao Yuan¡¯s eyes. The sad feeling spewed out, spread, and surrounded him tightly. Lin Wenxi even felt a little afraid.


    The field involved prostitution, drugs, and fatal underground boxing. Sometimes, the lives of those boxers were at stake. Before long, Lin Ziwei gave this credit to his colleague, who was in charge of criminal cases. Naturally, this case was examined and dealt with vigorously and effectively by his colleague and the subordinates of him. In the face of so many people, Lin Wenxi could not tell Zhao Yuan that it was his father who caused all of this, so he chose to shut up.


    Zhao Yuan grabbed Lin Wenxi¡¯s cor brutally. At this time, he wanted badly to tear the person before him into pieces. Zhao Yuan also tried to beat him and even destroy him. However, once he saw Lin Wenxi¡¯s unutterable look and the concern on his face that he could not conceal, Zhao Yuan found it was so hard to be angry with him, except feeling sad. Shaking his head, Zhao Yuan let Lin Wenxi go and said while slowly stressing each syble. ¡°Wenxi, in the future, please don¡¯t poke into my affairs, okay?¡± His voice was gentle and mild, but each of his words sounded bloody and as sharp as the de.


    ¡°Does it hurt?¡± Lin Wenxi murmured his question to Zhao Yuan, who then shook his head and nodded while smiling at him.


    ¡°Why?¡± Lin Wenxi asked again.


    Zhao Yuan was silent.


    ¡°The war between men has always been a life-or-death struggle. Though I felt worried, I still thought that he had put up quite a good show, and he was such a brave man! If it were you, I¡¯m afraid that you wouldn¡¯t know the feeling the pleasure and the sense of aplishment after winning a life and death match!¡± Chen Wanxin looked down at Lin Wenxi.


    Zhao Yuan walked away and brushed past Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi saw it clear that the tears were sliding down from the corners of Zhao Yuan¡¯s eyes. Those tears went across Zhao Yuan¡¯s face like a streak of lightning shed across the still night.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan...¡± Lin Wenxi tried to say something, but he only felt that everything before him went ck, and his faces became burning hot.


    Chen Wanxin red at him, and her hand was still trembling. Before Lin Wenxi could react, Chen Wanxin pped once again in his face, and this p from her sounded very clear and loud.


    ¡°What are you doing...¡± Lin Wenxi asked, somewhat vaguely. He could not even feel the pain on his face.


    Chen Wanxin raised her hand again, but Zhao Yuan griped it. ¡°How dare you?!¡±


    ¡°But, Brother Yuan! The bonus of the match!¡± Chen Wanxin¡¯s tears dropped down again.


    Zhao Yuan turned around and walked away.


    Lin Wenxi stood still. He thought that he misheard what Zhao Yuan had said. He wanted to catch up him and asked what exactly Zhao Yuan had said just now.


    Lin Wenxi never felt that there would be such a moment that Zhao Yuan seemed to leave far away. Lin Wenxi went forward and caught up with him.


    Zhao Yuan pushed him away subconsciously.


    It was unknown whether it was because Zhao Yuan pushed him too hard or Lin Wenxi was unprepared that Lin Wenxi suddenly hit the iron fences on the sidewalk and fell heavily to the ground. Lin Wenxi gently stroked his cheeks and rubbed his knees softly. He was a little dumbfounded now. Watching Chen Wanxin leaving arm in arm with Zhao Yuan and their backs disappear quickly at the end of the crowd, he was torn apart like the cold air breathed by pedestrians being torn instantly in the boundless dark night.


    ¡°Brother Yuan. Are you okay, Brother Yuan?¡± Chen Wanxin kept asking.


    Zhao Yuan suddenly turned around, and he mped Chen Wanxin¡¯s waist firmly with his five fingers. Chen Wanxin felt a sharp pain in the wrist, and her wrist almost became numb.


    ¡°You... hurt me...¡± Chen Wanxin grumbled.


    ¡°Chen Wanxin! Why did involve Wenxi in this matter? Who...¡± Zhao Yuan asked sharply, but he immediately swallowed the two remaining words, ¡°are you,¡± down to his stomach.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t...¡± Chen Wanxin argued in a hurry.


    Zhao Yuan mercilessly left Chen Wanxin behind.


    On the spot, Chen Wanxin gave herself a bitter p in the face and muttered to herself, ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have appeared here. I shouldn¡¯t have done that. I took such a redundant action. Zhao Yuan, he is so smart...¡±


    Zhao Yuan thought, ¡°Why would Chen Wanxin tell Wenxi about the things rted to the boxing field? She must have known Lin Wenxi¡¯s background, and she also knew that Lin Wenxi could stop me! You, all of you treated my father and me like this!¡±


    ¡°Who is Chen Wanxin exactly? Who the hell is her...¡±


    Zhao Yuan ran somewhat frantically into the night in the distance, deeper and deeper.

 Chapter 114 (I Walked the Path You Had Passed) I Walked on the Way You Came

    <h4>Chapter 114 (I Walked the Path You Had Passed) I Walked on the Way You Came</h4>


    Zhao Yuan dropped out of school, and no one could find him anymore, except Chen Wanxin.


    When Lin Wenxi came to his sense, he forced Chen Wanxin to give him an exnation.


    ¡°But I didn¡¯t make you wipe out the whole boxing field,¡± Chen Wanxin said with a smile.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t care about this. Whatever the reason was, I still would do what I had done as long as I knew that Zhao Yuan joined the fatal underground boxing match. So it has nothing to do with you! I only want to know why Zhao Yuan would take part in the fatal underground boxing match!¡± Lin Wenxi asked sternly.


    ¡°I told you before.¡± Chen Wanxin turned her back to Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°It was not the first confrontation of us. So you should know that I am not a fool,¡± Lin Wenxi said coldly.


    ¡°If you are so capable, you can figure it out yourself.¡± Chen Wanxin sneered.


    Slowly dropping the words one by one, Lin Wenxi asked her. ¡°Who, are, you?¡±


    ¡°I am Chen Wanxin.¡± With a smile, Chen Wanxin went on her way.


    Zhao Yuan was extremely angry with Chen Wanxin, but she had her reasons. ¡°Even I could feel that you had stayed in bad condition recently, let alone Wenxi, who was in the same dorm with you. Wenxi did not know the agreement we made during the Spring Festival. You also kept your promise such that you did not make the whole thing clear to him. I guess that was the reason why he always chased after me to ask for an answer. Thus, I had to take him to the boxing field to see you.¡±


    ¡°Besides, Yuan, in all fairness, I also just knew why you joined the fatal underground boxing matches in these two days. How could I tell Wenxi the reason if I did not know that? He... I guess that he did not mean it and he just worried about your safety.¡± Chen Wanxin exined.


    ¡°I know. It¡¯s okay.¡± Zhao Yuan smiled at her. However, Chen Wanxin instinctively took a step back. Apparently, Zhao Yuan hid something so deep from her in his smile, which was only the tip of an iceberg above the water. But what was buried in the water in the bottomless abyss? Chen Wanxin felt increasingly uncertain about the present situation.


    When Lin Wenxi went home, he just lightly greeted his families, and then he went straight to the ce where he did voluntary teaching.


    He arrived at the home of the Vige Head.


    ¡°Let¡¯s chat,¡± Lin Wenxi said unconcernedly. But the Vige Head seemed to be much frightened.


    ¡°I am only an ordinary teacher, and your attitude scared me,¡± Lin Wenxi added. He figured out long ago that the Vige Head had known his background. It must be because of his mother, who always worried about this thing or that thing of him, and so she must have specifically told the Vige Head to take care of him. Although he didn¡¯t get too much preferential treatment, the politeness of the folks living in the vige and the great caution of the Vige Head when they faced him, all of which made him always feel that they would connect all his efforts to his background. Just like a handsome guy who achieved great achievements with his efforts, others would still say, ¡°It was just because he is a good looking guy.¡± All of this made him feel that somehow, his hard work in teaching was not recognized. Others respected him only for the sake of his status. ¡°Well, I¡¯ll just try my best to get what I want by making use of my so-called status,¡± Lin Wenxi thought.


    ¡°No, not really. Mr. Lin, if you have anything to say, say it. I haven¡¯t seen too much of the world, so I cannot guess people¡¯s minds.¡± The Vige Head could not help making it clear to him.


    ¡°You must know the things that had happened in Zhao Yuan¡¯s family. Then tell me everything you know.¡± Lin Wenxi took the tea made by the wife of the Vige Head, took a sip of it and looked at them with a condescending look. But everyone could see that the so-called ¡°condescending¡± could not be used to describe the attitude of Lin Wenxi. However, sometimes, a paper tiger could also be scary.


    Lin Wenxi almost heard all things Zhao Yuan¡¯s family had gone through. He knew the road Zhao Yuan¡¯s father had traveled. But in the end, all flourishing days of his family came to an end.


    It was no wonder that Zhao Yuan had wide connections. It seemed that he was taking advantage of all the resources avable around him, only to survive and go on living.


    It was apparent that the Vige Head did not know the ever-burning redntern hanging in Zhao Yuan¡¯s home deathless endlessly. He did not know how persistent Zhao Yuan¡¯s father was in the long waiting, and how many sighs and sobs Zhao Yuan¡¯s father had made in each long night. ¡°I suppose that Zhao Yuan¡¯s parents also had experienced the unreasoning passion of love when they were young and had made a life and death promise. Perhaps, Zhao Yuan, his only son, is the reason that keeps him alive.¡± Suddenly, Lin Wenxi thought again, ¡°How would Yun Che and Zhu Ziping handle it when they faced such a difficult misfortune? What if it were my parents?¡± No, Lin Wenxi dared not to think more. Fate yed such a trick on them, but who on earth was the one that governed all these things?


    Lin Wenxi felt like this kind of blood feud of Zhao Yuan¡¯s family was on him now. The Vige Head did not dare to say the name of the person who indirectly caused the disappearance of Zhao Yuan¡¯s mother. Suddenly, some part of Lin Wenxi realized that there were so many people who had been convicted by his father¡¯s iron and blood methods. However, Lin Wenxi did not know whether or not Zhao Yuan¡¯s father was one of them.


    Clenching his fists, Lin Wenxi felt an upsurge of emotion, and his face looked sad and angry. With great caution, the Vige Head said that it seemed the person always acted against Director Lin, but he was reluctant to say anything more beyond that.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t he dead yet? Well, I will watch him die in the future,¡± Lin Wenxi said, grinding his teeth.


    When his mind calmed down, Lin Wenxi asked lots of the things that happened in Zhao Yuan¡¯s childhood. But it was a pity that the Vige Head could not remember much of those things. He only told Lin Wenxi that when Zhao Yuan was six or seven years old, Zhao Yuan¡¯s father moved to the town with his family. Upon seeing that Lin Wenxi cared so much about Zhao Yuan¡¯s affairs, the Vige Head told him many more things that Zhao Yuan did every year when he returned to the vige as an adult. Zhao Yuan would lend a hand to repair houses and install electric wires for his neighbors. He would send domestic water to the school and repair tables and desks for the school. Zhao Yuan also liked taking the children in the vige up and down the mountains to y. Lin Wenxi felt like that he had traveled throughyers of space and time such that everything Zhao Yuan did was rted to him. He was also there when Zhao Yuan was repairing the house. And when Zhao Yuan was carrying the water for the school, he apanied him and wiped the sweat for him. While Zhao Yuan was ying with the children, he was among the group of children.


    Before leaving, Lin Wenxi asked the Vige Head abruptly. ¡°Did Zhao Yuan ever have a pet name Fangfang in his childhood?¡±


    The Vige Head shook his head.


    Lin Wenxi had asked Zhao Yuan¡¯s aunt the same question, but both of them feltpletely confused. It seemed that both of them had spotted Lin Wenxi¡¯s gloomy look.


    Lin Wenxi decided to stay here for a brief time.


    During this time, what he had done made the people in this small vige remember his name, Lin Wenxi, since then. They enjoyed talking about the memories the young man left them in this cold winter for quite a long time.


    Lin Wenxi reopened the ss, lengthened the teaching time per ss, and offered courses in the evenings. He taught twelve sses a day, being responsible for all kinds of courses.


    He became the ¡°King of the Children.¡± On holidays, he and his little friends living on the street called more friends, and they climbed almost all the mountains in the entire vige. They repaired the desks and chairs of the vige¡¯s schools and helped to dredge the channels in the fields. Following Lin Wenxi, the children were willing to do any work. After some time of hard working, Lin Wenxi would take all of them to the biggest ¡°supermarket¡± in the vige, and a dozen people would buy all the goods in the shop. Grinning from ear to ear, the boss would often give each of them a few lollipops as presents and watch those more than ten little friends go back home tightly packed together in the alley, hand in hand and side by side. Lin Wenxi also did something wild that he had never thought of like turning up his sleeves to show his bare arms, rolling up his trouser ends, and so on.


    It had rained twice in these days, so some corners of the house were leaking. Lin Wenxi picked thedder and climbed up while trembling. By making use of the cement and some broken roofing tiles, he repaired the corners of the house neatly with a jingle-jangle sound. The rain drenched him through. So in silence, he took off his coat and roasted it by the campfire. When he quieted down, he would stare at the empty seat next to him as if Zhao Yuan was sitting there smiling. At that time, Zhao Yuan was only a few years old.


    Lin Wenxi took the children to pick more wild fruits and wild vegetables from the woods, and then he would make those ingredients into balls with Liu Lanhua. Well, all of those strange-shaped balls were Lin Wenxi¡¯s masterpieces. Lin Wenxi would eat those balls made by him, and sometimes he would throw some balls to the dog which he called ¡°Da Yuan¡± outside. He would then cook those delicately pinched balls with thoroughly mixed seasoning and gave them to his next-door neighbors from door to door. In return, his neighbors would give him a big armful of fried corn kernels and pumpkin seeds. While enjoying the unusual local food, Lin Wenxi was beaming.


    Even during the holiday, Lin Wenxi would help the neighbor¡¯s kids with their homework, which had produced an immediate effect. Therefore, each time when Lin Wenxi yelled in the yard, those children nearby would bring their benches and homework to his yard one after another. While rushing to fight for the front-row seats in the yard, they would make the chicken and duck in the yard jump up and down with their wings waving, which made the whole yard very lively. After some time, all the children in the yard learned some children¡¯s English songs and the most basic English greetings. Although their English was very poor, they were happy to let Lin Wenxi correct their errors. And the most hard-working children could even tell all the things in the yard in English one by one. Each time when Lin Wenxi crazily hung out with the children and got holes in his clothes or trousers, some children woulde up to him and insist on taking his clothes or pants back their home. Always, the mothers of the children were able to fix his items to their original appearances. Moreover, whenever his little friends got some fresh fruits and vegetables in the wild, they would stuff them in baskets and send all of those to Lin Wenxi¡¯s ce while swallowing saliva.


    Lin Wenxi had lived here for nearly half a month, and it was the third time that Hong Xuan came up to him.


    ¡°My mother once said that Zhao Yuan hade to our house alone. Why did hee to my home? His father was not at home, and the neighbor of his father told me that his father had an ident. Are you going to give me the answer or not?¡± Upon seeing Hong Xuan, Lin Wenxi still said the same sentence.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan¡¯s father bes seriously ill. Zhao Yuan might want to earn the bonus of the match by taking part in the fatal underground boxing match,¡± Hong Xuan said indifferently.


    ¡°If his father was badly ill, why would hee to my dad to ask for help?! When his father had a serious illness, the only thing he needed was money! Does my family look like a rich one? Uncle Hong Xuan, could you please stop treating me like I am still the little child in the past years?¡± Lin Wenxi threw his questions in a loud voice.


    ¡°He only wanted to ask Brother Wei to introduce some people for him to get a loan...¡± Hong Xuan replied.


    ¡°Hong Xuan! Uncle! The folks in this vige have told me about the things that had happened to Brother Yuan¡¯s family in the past! Do you know that good news never goes beyond the gate, while bad news spread far and wide? All the folks in the vige told me that Zhao Yuan¡¯s father hadmitted a crime! But what was the crime? Why did Zhao Yuan need the help from Lin Ziwei? Why did he have to fight the underground fatal boxing match to earn money? Only you can give me the answers to these questions!¡± Lin Wenxi shouted at Hong Xuan hoarsely.


    But Hong Xuan shook his head and turned around.


    ¡°Who is Chen Wanxin? Have you found out that yet?¡± Lin Wenxi asked him but looked the other way.


    ¡°No, I cannot find out who she is,¡± Hong Xuan answered.


    ¡°Cannot you find out who Chen Wanxin is? The family name of my father¡¯s old rival is Chen, and Chen Wanxin has already known my background. Do you think that I cannot figure all of this out? What¡¯s the need to only listen to Lin Ziwei¡¯s words and deceive even yourself?¡± Lin Wenxi roared angrily.


    ¡°Wenxi, he is your father,¡± Hong Xuan said.


    ¡°Hong Xuan! I call you uncle, but in fact, I have been treated you as the other father of me for a long time in my heart! But what about you? You have apanied me for so many years. Did you do all that only to follow Lin Ziwei¡¯s words? Don¡¯t you have a single bit of parental love to me? Isn¡¯t there the least bit of affection between us like a father and a son?¡± Lin Wenxi said hoarsely, and he even started to whimper.


    ¡°Lin Ziwei is always busy with his bullsh*t work, so he cannot understand me. But you, Hong Xuan... You brought me up since I was a child, don¡¯t you know who I am?¡± Lin Wenxi stood there injured while sobbing.


    Hong Xuan could no longer hold his feelings back and that he immediately held Lin Wenxi in his arms. ¡°Wenxi, it is a confidential matter, so you must not get involved!¡±


    ¡°But I¡¯ve already got involved in! Someone used me to ruin Zhao Yuan¡¯s hope! You told nothing to me so that I don¡¯t even have the qualification and ability to protect myself. What about you? Can you go to my school and watch me twenty-four hour a day? Can you make me drop out of school? Or, can you transfer me again to another school?¡± Lin Wenxi kept sobbing in Hong Xuan¡¯s arms. ¡°For so many years, I have almost lived in an incognito life. Thus, when someone bullied me, I didn¡¯t dare to say anything. And when I got, got... by that person, I still dare not utter a sound. I was told that I should be obedient and be an ordinary child. But the standards required of me by my father are not the standards of a child from an ordinary family. Uncle Hong Xuan...¡±


    Hong Xuan touched Lin Wenxi¡¯s head gently. It was the first time that he embraced this child so tightly. This child had always been undergoing rigorous training and stringent requirements of him. It was also the first time that Hong Xuan heard the voice from Lin Wenxi¡¯s heart. Another father of Lin Wenxi! Right, since he was a child, Lin Wenxi always nestled in his arms and stared at him. What a willful child! But when this child Lin Wenxi was a child, his body was weaker than the girls¡¯. Thus, many times when Lin Wenxi fell, when Lin Wenxi broke his head and was bleeding, and when Lin Wenxi could not continue his weight-bearing running, Hong Xuan really wanted to take a step closer and lend him a hand. But he dare not! He could not do that, either! The old mother of Hong Xuan at home was so eager to have a grandson, but since he already had a beautiful lover, he would never think more. However, he didn¡¯t expect that after so many years, he could form such a close rtionship with Lin Wenxi.


    Then, Lin Wenxi learned the things about Chen Wanxin. Or more precisely, he knew the things about Zhao Yuan who had a broken family. He also realized what a horrible family and rival the Chen family was, and everything that Zhao Yuan had endured for so many years.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know the specific reasons that Zhao Yuan chose to fight the underground fatal boxing match. But at least it should be rted to his father, who was seriously ill and stayed in the hospital. You can only ask Zhao Yuan himself about these specific things.¡± Still, Hong Xuan spoke of this subject to Lin Wenxi with some reservations. Hong Xuan did not say a single word about the progress of the investigation into the case of Zhao Yuan¡¯s father, which was a too sensitive thing.


    ¡°And, there is not much advice that I need to give you. It¡¯s just that you should not talk about the things of Zhao Yuan before your father for he truly worries that you will get involved in all of this.¡± Hong Xuan added.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan! How can you bear all of this alone?¡± Lin Wenxi sat on the ground. He choked with his head buried in his hands. His big drops of tears fell down and wet the ground, which almost dyed the dirt the color of blood.


    It was time to leave. Lin Wenxi walked up to the top of the hill behind Liu Lanhua¡¯s house and looked around. He had been to each ce where Zhao Yuan walked by in this vige, and he had also experienced everything that Zhao Yuan had gone through.


    ¡°I stayed in the ce where you had lived. I walked the path that you had passed. Without waving good-bye, I want to leave quietly.¡±


    In the town, under a white por, a boy shed strings of tears.

 Chapter 115 (I Will Do That) Making a Guarantee against His Own Will

    <h4>Chapter 115 (I Will Do That) Making a Guarantee against His Own Will</h4>


    In a hotel in a small city.


    ¡°Boss Mo, you have always been scared that Director Lin and Director Chen will thoroughly ruin their rtionship. I¡¯m afraid that no one can get any good in the end.¡± It was Zhang Dong who was speaking.


    At the beginning of Zhang Dong¡¯s freshman year, the bodyguard group of Chen¡¯s family, which was led by Mo Qian took a fancy to Zhang Dong and a batch of students. Zhang Dong signed a contract to work for Chen¡¯s family after his graduation. As a guarantee, Zhang Dong could be exempted from tuition and fees, and he would receive the most rigorous training in this university. And at the same time, he would get an advance payment, which he could use to buy a better house for his parents.


    The performance of Zhang Dong in the past few years was indeed beyond everyone¡¯s expectations. He had been making contributions in those years and got many medals. The pattern stood for rank on his epaulets started with a bar and a star. Later, it became two stars, and then three stars. Just after a few years, the pattern on his epaulets became two bars and a single star! The more time he had spent, the more remarkable exploits he would get, but he always felt that somewhere at the bottom of his heart was empty and gloomy.


    He finally put forward a request of his own to Mo¡¯s family. At that time, Lin Wenxi just entered the school as a freshman.


    Since then, Zhang Dong epted direct tasks from Mo Qian in advance from time to time. Although Mo Qian didn¡¯t ask him to break anyw ormit any crime, Zhang Dong still felt those tasks were somewhat disgraceful.


    Just before the graduation, Zhang Dong tried to break the contract because he felt regretful already. But to his surprise, the school expelled him for a not to be divulged thing that he had done in the past. He had investigated many times and wanted to find out who did it. At first, he thought it was Lin Wenxi who told that thing to his school, so he could not help but go to Jifu University to ask for a reason from Lin Wenxi. But the moment he saw Lin Wenxi, he was convinced that such a kind-hearted child would never do it.


    He even knew that this child might still have an inexplicable feeling toward him. But at that point when he noticed that Chen Wanxin, who already considered Lin Wenxi as her enemy long ago was watching Lin Wenxi from a distance, he had no choice but to leave the misunderstanding there.


    From then on, he spected that Chen¡¯s family wanted to make him determined enough to do things for them, so they tried every dirty trick to ruin his honor as a soldierpletely.


    As for how they got the evidence of those happened things and sent it to the school, Luo Yang told Zhang Dong the answer without the slightest hesitation in a drunk state when Zhang Dong pretended to call him brother. Luo Yang got the evidence by installing lots of bugs in advance in the cafe where Zhang Dong and Zhao Yuan had the conversation. Well, the person who gave Luo Yang information that when and where they were going to have a conversation would surely be Chen Wanxin, who now Zhang Dong could only respectfully call her Miss Chen.


    The reason why Luo Yang did not care about telling him all of this was that he knew Zhang Dong¡¯s parents had been invited to the city, and they were treated very well. Zhang Dong understood the stakes, so he had no choice but to ept the tasks which he could not refuse and silently endure his increasingly painful feeling.


    The identity of Lin Wenxi must have been revealed to Chen Wanxin, which meant that when their hostile state became white-hot, and both Chen¡¯s family and Mo¡¯s family reached their final days, they would y all the dirty tricks they knew to make things difficult for Lin Wenxi. Now, Zhang Dong could no longer ignore the dangers that Lin Wenxi might encounter. Thus, he broke into Mo Qian¡¯s hotel even without getting countermeasures ready.


    ¡°Oh? Then you tell me straightforwardly, what can you use to exchange for my promise that I will not harm him, or even not deal with him forever?¡± Mo Qian asked.


    ¡°Boss Mo¡¯s promise carries great weight. As long as you promise not to hurt him, I will do the thing you requested well,¡± Zhang Dong said.


    ¡°But can you choose not to do the thing well even if I don¡¯t promise you?¡± Mo Qian sneered, and his fingertips gently swept across the wing of his nose.


    ¡°Boss Mo, I¡¯ve never done such a big task like killing. It is my first time to kill someone, so I need some preparation time at least,¡± Zhang Dong said.


    The essential condition of joining the bodyguard group of Chen¡¯s family formally was to make a guarantee first. However, the price of making such a guarantee seemed to be too costly.


    But he could also choose not to make such a guarantee. If it were not that he mistakenly believed that joining in Chen¡¯s family was equal to working for the government, and in fact, he was going to protect an official who was diligent and responsible for the people, he would not sign the contract and would not ept the money.


    But at this moment, he had already made a big mistake. His parents were being watched rather than being taken care of. But the hateful thing was that there was probably not such a person in this city who could shake Chen¡¯s family.


    Zhang Dong also felt very surprised. The person he needed to kill was a murderer who was now on medical parole. Zhang Dong had checked the intensive care unit of the murderer, in which there was usually only a middle-aged man who was making all-out efforts to take care of him, and this man was even willing to deal with that person¡¯s shit and piss. As to the murderer, he was dying. So why would he bother to take the risk of killing him?


    Therefore, Zhang Dong was waiting at the beginning. He only looked forward to the early death of that murderer, and then he could forge the evidence that he killed the person. In this way, he could not only assure the safety of his parents, but also did not need to take the risk of paying with his life for killing someone else.


    ¡°Well, I agree. I will find a way to make the people of the prison reduce their defense. But I don¡¯t want him to live up to the New Year, which means you still have three weeks.¡± With this, Mo Qian raised his chin and added, ¡°I didn¡¯t notice that you have got feelings for him. Hehe, hehe.¡±


    Somewhere near the hospital in the small city.


    When Chen Wanxin passed by a beauty salon, somehow she wanted to take a look inside because it was the ce where Zhao Yuan worked recently. She thought that Zhao Yuan must outshine others easily in this ce and would surely win the attention of every woman. However, at the thought of that many people here had enjoyed Zhao Yuan¡¯s elegant bearing, she felt a little unhappy in her heart.


    Chen Wanxin was talking absent-mindedly with the receptionist. The skin care products that the receptionist introduced to her were all the things that she disdained to use. Usually, what she used were products imported from Europe, so how could those thingse into her eyes? By ident, Chen Wanxin suddenly saw between the pink curtains that a young man was very intimate with a woman, and their movements were quite indecent. But upon seeing clearly who the man was, the heart of Chen Wanxin froze all in a sudden. ¡°Isn¡¯t that Zhao Yuan?¡±


    Chen Wanxin brushed away the curtains and rushed in. She happened to see that Zhao Yuan was helping a middle-aged woman make the tea. But it seemed that the middle-aged woman disliked it and she wanted Zhao Yuan to find a way to make the tea taste better. Then, while blowing the tea gently without batting an eyelid, Zhao Yuan drew near to the middle-aged woman.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan!¡± When Chen Wanxin walked up to him, she had already hidden the dissatisfaction and doubts in her heart. She pulled Zhao Yuan gently and said something else, ¡°Brother Yuan, I get a solution.¡± The tone she spoke was very soft and tender.


    ¡°You are so talented, and you are an acknowledged leader. How can you condescend to take such a job?¡± Chen Wanxin suppressed her grievances and asked softly.


    ¡°It¡¯s none of your business,¡± Zhao Yuan said in a deep voice.


    The proprietress of the beauty salon was the richdy who was beaten by Zhao Yuan in the MO Capital. She had always been interested in Zhao Yuan. And soon, she got a phone call from Zhao Yuan who volunteered to work at her salon. Of course, she felt very excited. With her instructions and help, Zhao Yuan gained advantages from all sides in this beauty salon. Then, he got many big orders in a short time such that he could pay the medical expense, which was still too much for him to burden with the payment he received. Zhao Yuan did this only because of that therge sum of money Zheng Zihuan offered obviously could no longer cover all the medical expense.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to say more. I understand all of this.¡± Chen Wanxin put a bank card in Zhao Yuan¡¯s hand and added, ¡°The money in this card is enough to cover all the uncle¡¯s medical expenseter. I know that you don¡¯t want to owe anyone anything so that you can give me an IOU. And that you have to pay interest for that.¡±


    ¡°Where did you get so much money?¡± Zhao Yuan asked coldly.


    ¡°I got the money by honest means. Just believe me, and you don¡¯t need to ask more questions,¡± Chen Wanxin said. She finally managed to borrow the money from Mo Qian, and she begged Mo Qian to keep it a secret for her. As for when she needed to pay the money back, and what kind of equal value price she needed to pay, Mo Qian only replied to her with a slight smile.


    ¡°Can you take me to see your father?¡± Chen Wanxin whispered her request to Zhao Yuan.


    Zhao Yuan felt as if his gums were bleeding because he had ground his upper and lower teeth too hard.


    The two prison guards verified their identities. Zhao Yuan knocked on the door, and the voice of a familiar man came from inside. It was his Uncle Zheng, Zheng Zihuan, who had been taking care of his father all the time.

 Chapter 116 (She Was the Protective Cover)

    <h4>Chapter 116 (She Was the Protective Cover)</h4>


    Thinking in Depth and nning Carefully, Zhao Yuan¡¯s Father Tried to Protect His Only Son


    ¡°Who is she?¡± On the alert, Zheng Zihuan looked Chen Wanxin up and down.


    ¡°My ssmate, Chen Wanxin, shees here together with me to see my father. What is my father¡¯s situation today?¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°Your father mentioned her...¡± Zheng Zihuan paused a little and said with a smile, ¡°He will be fine. You see, now he is having a good rest.¡± Zheng Zihuan moved out of the way. He bent down to get the basin with some filth in it and brought it out. He looked so solemn that it seemed as if he was aplishing his longed-for wish.


    In the hospital bed, the mouth and nose of Zhao Mingjiang were under the breathing mask. He slept very well. He looked as if he had never suffered from any pain.


    ¡°You look pretty much like him. He is as handsome as you.¡± Bashfully, Chen Wanxin slightly twisted her head. While nibbling her lips with her shell-like teeth, Chen Wanxin took Zhao Yuan¡¯s hand and stroked it with some pity.


    ¡°His weight has declined 20 kilograms. Otherwise, with a healthy and hearty look, he will be just like his old self in appearance,¡± Zhao Yuan said while smiling. He felt much more relieved with Zheng Zihuan here.


    ¡°Is the uncle who just left your rtive? He looked so bookish and gentle that remind me of Wang Xiang.¡± Chen Wanxin remembered the man just now who she had never seen, and he gave Zhao Yuan¡¯s father such meticulous care.


    Chen Wanxin picked up those pills that she didn¡¯t know on the table. Each kind of pills was ced in separated pillboxes. Thebel on each pillbox pasted in order and the writing on them also looked legible. The man she met just now had written the names and the dosage of those pills on those boxes, and he had also indicated whether the pills should be taken before or after meals. Perhaps, only a careful and thoughtful wife was willing to do all the things he had done for her husband.


    ¡°No, he is a friend of my father. He said that they were ssmates in their junior school and high school,¡± Zhao Yuan said truthfully.


    Chen Wanxin pursed her lips, but she was going to ask, ¡°Has he married? Does he have any child?¡± Suddenly, she felt it was very inappropriate to ask such questions, which sounded like a kind of disrespect. Thus, she just nodded and said, ¡°If it were your mother who was here to take care of him, your father would be much happier.¡±


    Unexpectedly, a very crisp sound came from outside the door. It seemed that someone dropped something on the ground. Zhao Yuan rushed to check. He opened the door and saw Zheng Zihuan was picking up the basin in a flurry. Zheng Zihuan just clearly heard that something fell hard on the cold cement floor and was shattered to pieces.


    ¡°Uncle Zheng, are you okay? Do you need a break?¡± Zhao Yuan said politely.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine. I just thought that a little kid like you have also grown up and that you even have a girlfriend now.¡± Zheng Zihuan patted Zhao Yuan¡¯s shoulder and put down the basin quietly. He quickly took away the pillbox from Chen Wanxin¡¯s hand, and said, ¡°Those pills are expensive, and his father should take them on schedule and at the proper dose. Wanxi, you should take care not to drop the pills.¡±


    Chen Wanxin was a little puzzled. The man before her called out her name, which surprised her. But at the same time, she felt delighted because it suggested that Zhao Yuan had already talked about her with the people closest to him. However, what surprised her was that he used a little strength to take the pillbox away from her, but obviously, it was the first time she met him.


    ¡°A Yuan, you can go for a walk around with your little girlfriend first. Lately, I always feel someone is staring at me when I go downstairs.¡± Zheng Zihuan said grumpily.


    Zhao Yuan immediately took his suggestion and walked out of the ward with Chen Wanxin in a hurry.


    ¡°Look, the person in the ward is your father... He... Why didn¡¯t he allow you to stay in the ward?¡± asked Chen Wanxin.


    Zhao Yuan said, ¡°Uncle Zheng, he is always like this. He doesn¡¯t allow anyone to disturb my father. And the doctor has told us that Dad needs more rest and he must avoid too many mood swings.¡±


    ¡°But I still think he seems to be a little sensitive, and he said that someone is staring at him...¡±


    ¡°He says that all the time. I have paid attention to that, but I haven¡¯t found anything wrong. After all, the hospital is so big, and we are on the 29th floor...¡± Although Zhao Yuan said something like that, he still wandered around the hospital with Chen Wanxin for a long time. Zhao Yuan knew it very clear that his father entered the hospital in the name of the medical parole, so his father was unprotected now. If someone that had some connection with the condemned prisoner who had tried to assassinate his father came here, Zhao Yuan could not guarantee his father¡¯s safety. Therefore, he spent a lot of money to transfer his father to the ward next to the room where the nurses stayed. In here, people came and went, and most of them were nurses. Finally, Zhao Yuan felt a little relieved.


    In the ICU.


    Zhao Mingjiang dumped all the pills that Chen Wanxin had touched into the trash can and loaded the boxes with new pills. Then, he gently touched the man¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Zhao, write a few words.¡±


    Zhao Mingjiang nodded with difficulty.


    Zheng Zihuan carefully checked and counted the medicine. Resting his chin in his hands, he gazed at Zhao Mingjiang and said, ¡°Brother Zhao, cannot we tell A Yuan the truth?¡±


    Zhao Mingjiang shook his head slightly and reached out his hands to write on the drawing board in the hands of Zheng Zihuan, one letter at a time. ¡°No.¡±


    ¡°If Chen Wanxin is the same with her father. Then, A Yuan...¡± Zheng Zihuan looked extremely embarrassed.


    ¡°No, she isn¡¯t.¡± Zhao Mingjiang seemed to be very determined. Pointing to the pills in the trash can, he shook his head helplessly.


    ¡°I cannot trust anyone from the Chen family!¡± With this, Zheng Zihuan sighed again. ¡°When will you tell him?¡±


    Zheng Zihuan knew that he did not want him to intervene in, so he nodded somewhat reluctantly.


    Just like Zhao Mingjiang, Zheng Zihuan felt that the thing happened in that year had inscribed in his heart. Although he tried in many ways to save him and asked help from many people, he could only watch his childhood friend be thrown into prison.


    However, both of them were very clear that the person who was in charge of the city construction in that year was Chen Tianjiao. At that time, Chen Tianjiao had a daughter named Chen Siya. The first time Zhao Mingjiang saw Chen Wanxin, he did not pay attention to this little girl surnamed Chen who considered herself as Zhao Yuan¡¯s girlfriend.


    Until the time Zheng Zihuan came to take care of Zhao Mingjiang in person, he finally noticed that there was such a girl named Chen Siya when Zhao Mingjiang gestured him the things about Zhao Yuan. However, when Zheng Zihuan was working in the bank, he saw many times that Deng Yifei, Chen Tianjiao¡¯s wife, came to the bank to remit money. He especially noticed the beneficiary¡¯s name, which was: Chen Wanxin.


    Zheng Zihuan lightly mentioned Chen Wanxin to some reliable higher-ranking officials. It was then that he learned that Chen Wanxin was precisely the daughter of Chen Tianjiao. Presumably, to protect his only daughter, Chen Tianjiao changed her name from Chen Siya to Chen Wanxin when she started high school.


    Zheng Zihuan wanted to make the thing about Chen Wanxin clear to Zhao Yuan at this moment. But Zhao Mingjiang had his n, which sounded a little amusing.


    ¡°With Chen Wanxin around, maybe... the Chen family won¡¯t hurt A Yuan.¡± It was precisely the idea of Zhao Mingjiang when he was awake. Zheng Zihuan had no choice but to agree with him. Zhao Mingjiang came across the person who raped his wife in that year who provoked him for no reason and even insulted his wife, so Zhao Mingjiang killed him on the spot. After that, he was arrested for murder, and he was put in prison without any serious interrogation. When he was in prison, someone nearly killed him. The whole series of events looked like a huge of conspiracies. Though they didn¡¯t have any evidence that Chen Tianjiao was behind all those events, both of them was almost sure that Chen Tianjiao was closely rted to those events.


    ording to the things Chen Wanxin had done in previous, she should have intense feelings for Zhao Yuan. Perhaps, God blessed his only son, so God gave his son a protective umbre, Chen Wanxin.


    How could Zhao Mingjiang not feel happy and relieved about that?


    The time Lin Wenxi arrived at the hospital waste at night. Hong Xuan had told him the address of the ward of Zhao Yuan¡¯s father, and Lin Wenxi kept it firmly in his mind.


    Lin Wenxi went all the way here. He barely ate anything, so he felt flustered in his heart at this moment because he was too hungry. Holding the wall, Lin Wenxi searched the ward number by the light. Before he could make it to Ward No. 8, he spotted Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin sat side by side on the bench.


    Chen Wanxin nestled up against Zhao Yuan like a bird. In her heart, she felt endless joy. Chen Wanxin thought that it seemed that Zhao Yuan¡¯s father had already epted her. Now she could skillfully sort the pills into those boxes. And as a girl, Chen Wanxin could be careful enough to notice where Zhao Yuan¡¯s father felt ufortable, and how to help Zhao Yuan¡¯s father massage his body with the most suitable strength.


    Sometimes, she thought that she had never done these things to her parents, but she was willing to do everything for Zhao Yuan. It seemed that she had be an indispensable part of this broken family. Although the friend of Zhao Yuan¡¯s father, Zheng Zihuan, always watched out for her for no reason, he also became more or less more friendly to her recently. Chen Wanxin felt that something inside her body was melting. In the endless joy, the world looked like extremely wonderful to her, and in her eyes, everything in the world turned into happy symbols.


    As for Zhao Yuan, he didn¡¯t reject her when she carefully attempted to get closer to him. Chen Wanxin found that she cherished the period of time a lot. Even if she knew that Zhao Yuan was always suspicious of her for making use of Lin Wenxi, she believed that it was only his doubt and it could be resolved slowly. She firmly believed that.


    Lin Wenxi wanted to leave. He tried to run away as crazily fast as he could. But it was unknown that whether he was hungry or desperate, the fruits he carried in his hand dropped to the ground all in a sudden. Lin Wenxi remembered that the kiss Chen Wanxin gave to Zhao Yuan outside the boxing field. Whether it was that she had a thing for him, but he had nothing for her, or that the love between them was already so deep that they kissed naturally? Lin Wenxi was at a loss.


    Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin looked toward him together. What they saw was a boy with a ghost-pale face who leaned against the wall, feebly. In a daze, he looked at them nkly.


    Zhao Yuan got up, and so did Chen Wanxin. Zhao Yuan went forward, and so did Chen Wanxin. At the sight of Lin Wenxi, somehow, she would suddenly find herself in a dark forest, and each breath of air in the dark forest could be deadly to her. Chen Wanxin felt her whole body and heart were shaking. Disappointedly, she found out that although she had apanied Zhao Yuan for such a long time, Chen Wanxin still felt inferior to the extreme when she met Lin Wenxi.


    A glimmer of surprise flickered in Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes at the time when he spotted Zhao Yuan, but gradually, his surprise turned into helplessness.


    Lin Wenxi thought for a second. Then he gently smiled and said, ¡°I juste to see how Uncle Zhao is now.¡±


    ¡°How do you know this ce?¡± Chen Wanxin asked first.


    ¡°What happened to Uncle Zhao?¡± Lin Wenxi only looked at Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°He is okay,¡± answered Zhao Yuan. After that, he felt unspeakably heavy. Zhao Yuan thought that he had much to say to Lin Wenxi, but the more he wanted to tell him, the more difficult for him to open his mouth, or it should be said that Zhao Yuan didn¡¯t know where to begin.


    ¡°Oh, then I, I will leave.¡± Lin Wenxi shrugged breezily and went to the elevator. When the elevator door opened, the three of them cried out in surprise.

 Chapter 117 (Zheng Kai, You?) The Son of Zheng Zihuan Had a Manner of a Dragon or Tiger

    <h4>Chapter 117 (Zheng Kai, You?) The Son of Zheng Zihuan Had a Manner of a Dragon or Tiger</h4>


    ¡°Zheng Kai, why are you here?¡± asked Zhao Yuan.


    Zheng Kai looked suspiciously at the three of them and asked, ¡°Zhao Yuan, I haven¡¯t seen you for a long time. You, why are you here?¡±


    But each of the three people had their secrets in the heart, so they remained silent.


    Zheng Kai said with a smile, ¡°In the elevator just now, I heard some people talking about that a crazy man wearing a red quilted jacket had been waiting for the elevator for a long time. Finally, he chose to take the stairs, carrying a bunch of things. Now I see that it must be you. Lin Wenxi, you have walked up 29 flights of stairs...¡± Zheng Kai thought to himself that Lin Wenxi¡¯s bright red quilted jacket looked as red as fire, and the color of it seemed like that of the jersey Zhao Yuan wore all the time.


    Lin Wenxi smiled with a little embarrassment.


    Zhao Yuan couldn¡¯t help clenching his fists and gazed right at Lin Wenxi who turned his head and looked away. Lin Wenxi asked Zheng Kai, ¡°Well, what do youe here for?¡±


    ¡°Oh, my mom asks me to look for my father. She wants me to bring him home for dinner!¡± Zheng Kai blurted out the words that made everyone felt confused.


    Zhao Yuan suddenly realized something. ¡°Zheng Kai... Zheng Zihuan.¡±


    They watched Zheng Kai walk into Ward No. 2908, which was precisely the ward of Zhao Yuan¡¯s father.


    Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin hurried to catch up. Lin Wenxi followed them. He saw Zhao Yuan turn his head slightly and smile apologetically at him. But facing his smile, Lin Wenxi felt more painful than being sentenced to death.


    Seeing Zhao Yuaning in with him, Zheng Kai was a little overwhelmed. He looked at the weak middle-aged man lying on the bed who so close to death but still smiled with his eyes. Then he looked toward Zhao Yuan and produced a forced smile¡ªa month ago, Zheng Kai¡¯s father took a long leave and took away the family money and the schrship Zheng Kai got by giving up his rmendation. Until now, his father was still deep in high debt. Zheng Zihuan did all of this all for his brother in the provincial capital. And finally, his father simply came to the provincial capital to take care of that person by himself and never went home again since then. When his mother managed to push herself until the end of the year, she hoped that his father would at least go back home to celebrate New Year together. However, Zheng Zihuan actually refused her, so Zheng Kai came here to see his father.


    Zheng Kai wanted to see who could make his father give away almost everything, including his family. At first, Zheng Kai even meant to persuade his father to go back. But to his surprise, that person was his roommate Zhao Yuan¡¯s father! Though he got a whole lot resentment and anger, he had to keep a tight lid on his feelings at this moment.


    All of a sudden, Zhao Mingjiang opened his eyes. He gazed at Zheng Kai and began to cough violently. Zheng Zihuan quickly handed him the hot water without saying a word to Zheng Kai.


    Zhao Mingjiangy on his back and sighed heavily.


    Ever since Zheng Zihuan knew what happened to Zhao Mingjiang, he often assisted him financially. At first, Zhao Mingjiang refused his offer of help. But in the end, Zhao Mingjiang epted it only because Zheng Zihuan told him, ¡°You should stay alive for your son.¡± When Zheng Zihuan started to took care of him, Zhao Mingjiang felt very embarrassed. But every time Zhao Mingjiang called his rtives to help, Zheng Zihuan would make an excuse and turn them down adamantly. If Zhao Mingjiang insisted on finding someone to rece him, Zheng Zihuan would bow his head and weep.


    It was already difficult enough for Zhao Mingjiang to breathe. So, in the end, he did not have more strength to try to persuade his old ssmate. But Zhao Mingjiang knew that he might never be able to repay the kindness of him.


    ¡°There is still some time before the New Year. You go back to school first and worry about your exams. I will go back when it is time,¡± Zheng Zihuan said coldly.


    Zheng Kai was full of anger, but he could not lose his temper now. Behind a forced smile, he kept silent.


    Lin Wenxi was a bit confused. ¡°If Uncle Zheng and Uncle Zhao had a secret rtionship, then how could they have Zhao Yuan and Zheng Kai?¡± When such an absurd idea popped up in his mind, Lin Wenxi felt that he was so unreasonable. He smiled, a little sadly. ¡°If I guess all kinds of friendship between men like this, I will either insult love or insult friendship.


    Secretly, he felt ashamed of himself. But suddenly, he noticed a figure shed across the staircase. Lin Wenxi rushed down like an angry lion. The whole staircase echoed his footsteps and screams. ¡°Zhang Dong! Come out!¡±


    Lin Wenxi chased him to the outside of the building and the door of the hospital. However, the streets were quiet, and there was not a trace of Zhang Dong.


    Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin rushed downstairs.


    Lin Wenxi could hardly believe his eyes, but he was sure enough that he had seen Zhang Dong!


    ¡°Are you sure it is Zhang Dong?¡± asked Zhao Yuan.


    Lin Wenxi nodded.


    ¡°Why would Zhang Dong be here?¡± Zhao Yuan pursed his lips, and he looked pretty distracted. Chen Wanxin had the same doubt. She only knew that Mo Qian and Luo Yang had tried many ways to make Zhang Dong join the Mo family without a hitch, but it seemed that they failed. Later on, she never heard Luo Yang talk about the news about this person. ¡°So, what was he doing here? Is it that Mo Qian doesn¡¯t quite trust me such that he sent someone else to follow me?¡±


    When the three people were wondering, Zheng Zihuan called Zhao Yuan and asked him to hurry back.


    In the ICU, a group of people had waited outside for a long time, but they were still not allowed to enter.


    Zheng Zihuan gave Zheng Kai a loud p in the face. Zheng Kai watched the door of the ICU. Just now, he was unable to restrain himself and quarreled a few words with his father. But he didn¡¯t know that they could disturb Zhao Yuan¡¯s father to such a point. It looked like that Zhao Yuan¡¯s father was indeed struggling between life and death. Zheng Kai seemed to start to understand Zheng Zihuan¡¯s nervousness and carefulness. Thus, he just bore the p from his father and didn¡¯t even utter a sound.


    At this moment, Zhao Yuan felt very anxious, and the face of Zheng Zihuan looked somber first, and then it turned pale. The eyes of him flickered. Now he became so nervous that his whole body even began to tremble.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. Everything will be fine,¡± Lin Wenxi murmured.


    All of a sudden, Zheng Zihuan¡¯s eyes became sharp. He pulled Zhao Yuan aside and asked, ¡°The boy over there. What¡¯s his rtionship with you?¡±


    ¡°He is my roommate,¡± answered Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Why do you always let someone unrtede here? What¡¯s his name?¡± Zheng Zihuan looked anxious and angry.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi. There is absolutely nothing wrong with him. Uncle, you can rest assured,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi? Did your father ever mention him to you?¡± Zheng Zihuan asked.


    Zhao Yuan nodded.


    ¡°Do you know his identity? He is... the son of Director Lin...¡± Zheng Zihuan asked with some excitement.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Let him take you, take you to see Director Lin. Director Lin knows all about this; he can definitely find a way!¡± Walking up and down the hallway, Zheng Zihuan could hardly control his excitement.


    ¡°There is nothing his father can do. I, I have already talked to his father,¡± Zhao Yuan said with some difficulty.


    ¡°Except for Director Lin, no one can manage this! I and the others have written a lot of letters to Director Lin. You should use your rtionship with his son as soon as possible! It¡¯s now a matter of your father¡¯s life and death, do you still care about your self-respect? You should let Director Lin find a solution for you even if you have to go down on your knees!¡± Zheng Zihuan pulled Zhao Yuan farther and said in a loud voice.


    Zheng Zihuan felt very puzzled about Zhao Yuan¡¯s silence.


    Together, they backed outside of the ICU. When Zheng Zihuan saw that Zheng Kai still sat there, he shouted angrily at him, ¡°Why don¡¯t you hurry home? Don¡¯te backter on! I have my n!¡±


    Zheng Kai patted Zhao Yuan¡¯s shoulder heavily. ¡°Bro, I¡¯m sorry!¡±


    In return, Zhao Yuan alsoforted him. ¡°Zheng Kai, we have involved your family in trouble. I owe you a lot of thanks! In the future, I am willing to do anything for you in return!¡±


    Zheng Kai nodded. And in silence, he cast a look at Zheng Zihuan, and he looked at Chen Wanxin out of the corner of his eye. Then he left, poker-faced.


    ¡°Wenxi, you are A Yuan¡¯s roommate, so you know best how he is getting on at school. I¡¯d like to learn about that on behalf of his father, okay?¡± Zheng Zihuan said abruptly.


    Lin Wenxi nced at Zhao Yuan and followed Zheng Zihuan. Chen Wanxin guessed that Zheng Zihuan was to investigate Lin Wenxi as carefully and thoroughly as the way people checked on household upants. She could not help sneering secretly in her heart.


    After walking down two flights of stairs, Zheng Zihuan suddenly stopped in the aisle and knelt down before Lin Wenxi, in a solemn way.

 Chapter 118 (Only You Can Help!) Zheng Zihuan Knelt Before Wenxi to Ask for Help

    <h4>Chapter 118 (Only You Can Help!) Zheng Zihuan Knelt Before Wenxi to Ask for Help</h4>


    ¡°Uncle, what are you doing?¡± Lin Wenxi was very shocked, and he hurried to help him up.


    ¡°Please hear me out, and I won¡¯t get up until I finish!¡± Zheng Zihuan choked with sobs.


    ¡°Uncle, if you have anything to say to me, I¡¯ll feel morefortable when you stand up and tell me. Otherwise, the only thing I can do is to run back and ask Zhao Yuan why.¡± Lin Wenxi knelt down, too.


    ¡°Wenxi, you are A Yuan¡¯s roommate and Director Lin, Lin Ziwei¡¯s son, are you?¡± Upon hearing Lin Wenxi¡¯s words, Zheng Zihuan rose unsteadily to his feet and helped Lin Wenxi up. He was to speak and then hesitated. But finally, he opened his mouth.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan have told you...¡± Lin Wenxi wondered.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan¡¯s father and I are life and death childhood friends. Everything happened in his family, except for him and his son, I know best. Do you know why your Uncle Zhao became like this?¡± Zheng Zihuan asked.


    Lin Wenxi suddenly looked at Zheng Ziheng solemnly. He knew that what he was going to say would be extremely confidential and essential.


    A few minutester, Lin Wenxi fully understood what exactly Zhao Mingjiang and Zhao Yuan had experienced during this period.


    In the vige, Lin Wenxi just learned that Zhao Mingjiang hadmitted a crime and Hong Xuan only said that Zhao Mingjiang was seriously ill. But Lin Wenxi did not know that Zhao Mingjiang hadmitted a murder and he became ill because someone attacked and almost killed him. Such dangerous and cruel things that had never crossed Lin Wenxi¡¯s mind and the things that he didn¡¯t even dare to think about actually happened to Zhao Yuan and his father. Zhao Yuan, whose mother¡¯s present whereabouts was unknown and who had hung on only with his father, took on all of those things. But Zhao Yuan was only two years older than him!


    It didn¡¯t know how long the ever-burning redntern had been hanging there. At this time, Lin Wenxi seemed to see that thentern was swaying with the wind right before him. In thentern, the light flickered. It looked like that any carelessness would pull the light into a dark abyss. The fierce and piercing look of Zhao Yuan when he was in the boxing field and the sadness on his face when he survived from the life and death boxing match clearly reappeared before Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes. However, the voice of Zhao Yuan on the phone still sounded affectionate enough even when he just went through a cruel match. At that time, Zhao Yuan told him that he woulde back soon, and soon they would meet again.


    Lin Wenxi could not restrain his tears anymore and burst out crying.


    ¡°Boy, don¡¯t cry. You cannot cry at this point. The matter about whether or not the Chen family is involved in, the more solid the evidence is, the less we can to let A Yuan know about it. Do you know now that Chen Wanxin is not only A Yuan¡¯s girlfriend but also his strongest bargaining chip against the Chen family?¡± Zheng Zihuan held back his tears and firmly grasped Lin Wenxi¡¯s arm.


    ¡°Moreover, you should try not to show anyone of the Chen family that you know something about them. Though they are afraid of Director Lin, they may not fear you. They are a group of people who are capable of doing anything!¡± Zheng Zihuan seemed to be very emotional.


    ¡°Well, things happened to Zhao Yuan¡¯s father may not be done by the Chen family.¡± With this, Lin Wenxi could not help feeling bouts of great pain deep down. If it were not the Chen family who had done all of this, the Chen family would pose no threat to Zhao Yuan. But if it was, Lin Wenxi believed that even though Chen Wanxin had tried by every means to help and apany Zhao Yuan, Zhao Yuan could ignore Chen Wanxin¡¯s feelings and directly break their friendship because of all theplicated affairs happened in previous. All of a sudden, Lin Wenxi felt that he was very selfish. However, he could not afford a single mishap.


    ¡°That¡¯s what I was afraid of! Besides, I¡¯m almost certain that the Chen family must have already intertwined with this matter! To prevent Zhao Mingjiang from revealing the event happened at that year, they spared no effort to kill Zhao Mingjiang when he was in prison. Once they know that they have aroused the suspicion of Zhao Mingjiang¡¯s son, they will surely bring him a lot of trouble!¡± Zheng Ziheng said desperately.


    Lin Wenxi nodded seriously. He thought for a moment and whispered a question. ¡°Did Zhao Yuan ever have a pet name Fangfang?¡±


    With certainty, Zheng Zihuan replied, ¡°No.¡±


    ¡°Did he live near the governmentpound of the White Por Town in Yangzi County when he was a child?¡± Lin Wenxi asked again.


    Zheng Zihuan shook his head. ¡°When A¡¯kai was born, I moved to another county. Later, I heard that Mingjiang made a career, and then he was down and out. But at that time, he was already in Yangzi County. So I have no memory of the things that you just talked about.¡±


    ¡°When Uncle Zhao became a little sober, could you please take some time to ask him for me?¡± Lin Wenxi said. At this time, there was a nurse upstairs calling the family members of the patient, so the two of them hurried there.


    The door of the ICU was open.


    Some nurses were bustling around Zhao Mingjiang. Zhao Yuan found that they connected a few more tubes to his father. The nurses specially indicated the function of each tube and emphasized that the firmly fixed red tube was necessary to maintain the patient¡¯s heart rate, so they should not touch it easily.


    Using their mobile phones, Chen Wanxin and Zheng Zihuan recorded those important matters one by one. Lin Wenxi really wanted to help but he could not. He could only watch them. Thus, in the meantime, Lin Wenxi felt a little lost. He hoped that the person who could do these things for Zhao Yuan was him. But suddenly he felt a little relieved because if they were here to take care of him, he would no longer need to worry about the situation of Zhao Yuan. Some day in the future, Zhao Yuan¡¯s father would get better. He could help them find out who the person behind all of this was and bring this person to justice.


    Zhao Mingjiang had seen Lin Wenxi¡¯s elegant personal style and appearance from Zhao Yuan¡¯s albums in his phone long ago. At the time when he slowly woke up, he spotted the child in the albums standing right in front of him. Zhao Mingjiang managed to squeeze out a smile and stretched out his hand with difficulty, even though the veins in his hands bulged like withered vines in the night.


    Lin Wenxi felt startled when he saw such a pair of hands in a sudden, and then he held Zhao Mingjiang¡¯s hands tight. He was somewhat surprised. Even after meeting only once, Zhao Yuan¡¯s father looked delighted to see him again.


    For so many days, Chen Wanxin often thought that although Zhao Yuan¡¯s father was kind to her, she always felt that something was missing. Until now, when she witnessed his attitude toward Lin Wenxi, she finally realized that Zhao Yuan¡¯s father had never been so close to her.


    ¡°Did Wenxi often go to y at Brother Yuan¡¯s home?¡± Chen Wanxin felt that she suddenly became insanely jealous that even her voice was trembling.


    ¡°It is the first time I met Uncle. Presumably, Zhao Yuan has already introduced me to him at an earlier time.¡± Lin Wenxi smiled gently. ¡°I have never thought that something like this would happen to you. Uncle Zhao, please rest assured. I will find ways to help you! I am not a very capable person, but I will never regret to do anything that I have promised to do even at the cost of my life!¡±


    Zhao Mingjiang nodded slightly andughed very peacefully.


    Lin Wenxi thought that Zhao Mingjiang began his career as a mason, but he dared to seek his fortune with his skills. Then, he became the legend in his hometown. At that time, Zhao Mingjiang must have been in high spirits and full of ambition. Who would have thought that he was reduced to such a situation now? Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t help feeling sadness welling up. With a sad and regretful look, he sat on the edge of the bed until Zhao Mingjiang fell asleep again.


    Lin Wenxi had received several short messages, from Hong Xuan.


    Hong Xuan had been surveying the situation around the hospital for a long time. He found that the prison seemed to have loosened its vignce. So he immediately reported this change to Lin Ziwei, and then he stayed in a parking lot nearby to wait for Lin Wenxi. But he had waited for too long. This time, Hong Xuan didn¡¯t ask for instructions from Lin Ziwei and decided by himself, though he did not know what the consequences would be. Huang Xiya knew that he had carried Lin Wenxi off to the outside of the town, so now she was in such a hurry that she made a lot of phone calls to urge him to take Lin Wenxi back.


    Lin Wenxi said that he had toe back tonight. Zhao Yuan walked with him all the way downstairs and said, ¡°There¡¯s no car here at this time.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Someone will pick me up.¡± Lin Wenxi smiled and said, ¡°Wanxin, how about taking a walk with me?¡±


    In surprise, Zhao Yuan watched at the two persons who usually were hard to get along with each other strolling idly along the street and chatting leisurely.

 Chapter 119 (This Is a Declaration of War!) Lin Wenxi Declared War on Wanxin

    <h4>Chapter 119 (This Is a Deration of War!) Lin Wenxi Dered War on Wanxin</h4>


    ¡°Do you love him?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°What do you think?¡±


    ¡°Oh, even if he is not your boyfriend, you will do everything you can to help him, right?¡± Lin Wenxi said with a sneer.


    ¡°What are you trying to say?¡± Chen Wanxin was not in the mood to beat around the bush with Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°He¡¯s your nominal boyfriend, but my real man! My eighteenth birthday was spent with Zhao Yuan. At that time, what should happen had happened.¡± Lin Wenxi giggled, but Chen Wanxin was too angry to go any further. She had enough impulse to push Lin Wenxi into the fast-moving vehicles on the road.


    ¡°Do you really think there¡¯s something between you two, like Shu Xiaoman said, about pure love? Sh*t! If everyone is like you and Gu Xi, human beings must be extinct!¡± said Chen Wanxin, pointing to the tip of Lin Wenxi¡¯s nose.


    Lin Wenxi stretched out his forefinger and middle finger, slowly pushed Chen Wanxin¡¯s hand aside, and said with a rxed face, ¡°They want to learn from Gu Xi and me, but they can¡¯t. Falling in love with Brother Yuan, I am very happy!¡±


    ¡°What a shame!¡± Chen Wanxin shouted out loudly. Passers-by looked back at them as if watching a couple quarrel. Lin Wenxi really thought that he and Chen Wanxin were young couples. He put his hand on Chen Wanxin¡¯s shoulder and said with a smile, ¡°Hey, if you want to quarrel, let¡¯s go back home. Hahahaha!¡± Chen Wanxin tried to struggle, but she found that Lin Wenxi was not that weak. She could not break away from Lin Wenxi¡¯s arm. The banter in Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes and the mockery in his mouth were like a ruthless mirror, which showed all she had done. She seemed to see the awkward and powerless herself, who was struggling in the pupils of Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Let me go!¡± Chen Wanxin cried out powerlessly, and Lin Wenxi looked at her with amazement, still holding her hand. Chen Wanxin stretched out her hand and pinched Lin Wenxi severely. With pain, Lin Wenxi frowned slightly, pulled Chen Wanxin in his arms, and remained motionless. The smile on his face was generally gentle and charming, like a deeper and endless mire. He was going to swallow Chen Wanxin.


    Chen Wanxin felt that Lin Wenxi had be aplete stranger who was very terrifying at this time. Taking advantage of Lin Wenxi¡¯s less hard strength, she pushed away the man who had grown from a boy to a man overnight in a panic and shouted, ¡°Lin Wenxi! Tell me, what exactly do you want?¡±


    Lin Wenxi unclenched his hands and approached Chen Wanxin with a look of awe, saying, ¡°Since he and I have done it, what else can I want?¡±


    Chen Wanxin could not help but step back. Was he going to fight to the death?


    ¡°Chen Wanxin, I, Lin Wenxi, don¡¯t think I¡¯ve ever been sorry for you, but you¡¯ve done some dirty things to me over and over again. Now you ask me what I want? It¡¯s time for me to ask you what you want. You want Brother Yuan, don¡¯t you? He is very nice to Wang Xiang, Brother Kai, Gu Xi and Xiaoman. Why can¡¯t he be kind to me?¡± ¡°Because I like him, you feel sick, and you did this to me? Can you stop other people in the world from loving Zhao Yuan and kill them? What¡¯s more, since Brother Yuan treated me well in the beginning, I¡¯m afraid it was you who started the figurine. Didn¡¯t you let him make me a gay? Now I admit that I¡¯m gay. And you two are together. Now I want to ask you, Chen Wanxin, what else do you want?¡± Lin Wenxi shook Chen Wanxin hoarsely, and his eyes seemed to be filled with angry blood.


    ¡°You¡¯re sorry for me when you live in this world!¡± Chen Wanxin did not know how to respond. She grabbed only a few words of Lin Wenxi¡¯s and spoke aloud.


    ¡°Oh, then I can only be sorry for your whole life! If there is a next life, I hope that I will continue to be sorry for you!¡± Lin Wenxi sneered and said, ¡°By the way, I am not good at using any means, but I want to say that I am Lin Ziwei¡¯s son. Things between our fathers, I have heard from my mother more or less. If you as a descendant, in the future participate in these ideas too much, affecting my family, as I said to Uncle Zhao, I will risk my life once I really want to do something. I can choose to forget all the things you did before, but you¡¯d better not do anything to let me remember all the old and recent grudges. Otherwise, I can do something as simple and foolish as taking out a knife and carving someone¡¯s face!¡±


    ¡°Now, I want to make peace with you. Let¡¯s pretend to never know each other in the future. Shake hands if you like.¡±


    Lin Wenxi reached out.


    Chen Wanxin looked at Lin Wenxi incredibly. It was hard for her to imagine that when two people came to this point, Lin Wenxi¡¯s choice was to seek peace. She held out her hand suspiciously. Their hands were firmly held together, swearing by the cold winter, and the two were never rted from then on.


    ¡°By the way, as for you and me, for Brother Yuan, how about the fairpetition? My feelings are not blessed by the world. If you are afraid of such feelings that are not recognized by everyone, how can you go a long way with Brother Yuan in the future? Even for your own consideration andparison, in the future you want to marry, should not you marry a man who can give you a sense of security and trust? If Brother Yuan is not that kind of man, why don¡¯t you let go earlier?¡± Lin Wenxi said with a smile.


    ¡°I will never! Even if he does not love me, I believe in time! Time will soon prove your infatuation, and that he and I are a natural pair. Everyone will bless us!¡± Chen Wanxin said sharply.


    ¡°A girl¡¯s youth is no longer than a boy¡¯s. She can¡¯t be dyed and paid by mistake. It¡¯s not called youth. It¡¯s called the predecessor of a woman. Women can never be girls!¡± Lin Wenxi smiled slightly and bowed to Chen Wanxin. He said, ¡°There are some things that I choose not to talk to Brother Yuan, but it¡¯s not the right time yet. You conduct yourself well.¡± He never looked back but left straightly.


    Chen Wanxin was shaking with anger, but she had to admit that Lin Wenxi was right. If she could not even win a rtionship that was not appreciated by the world, andcked confidence, what would she do with the rtionship?


    She looked at Lin Wenxi¡¯s hands in her trouser pockets, and he left behind in a smart way. Suddenly she felt a little scared. Lin Wenxi was like a spring that never knew the copse pressure limit. How much pressure it would put on him, the rebound would be more serious. He was just totally different from what he was a year ago.


    Looking up, Chen Wanxin found that over the town, the bright moon faded, the cold stars twinkled, and she shivered from cold suddenly, although there was no wind in the tall buildings. She had a vague feeling. At this moment, Lin Wenxi, the young man with a frosty face and elegant temperament at the beginning of school, the boy with a gentle smile, and used to meet Zhao Yuan then became impulsive without hesitation, died.


    It was not reconciliation, but a deration of war!

 Chapter 120 (More Afraid of Life than Death) Mo Qian Tortured Zhang Dong

    <h4>Chapter 120 (More Afraid of Life than Death) Mo Qian Tortured Zhang Dong</h4>


    At this moment, in a dark underground room, a man¡¯s hands were tied to a cross and his feet were soaked in cold water.


    He had been stripped of his coat, and there were visible whishes from his arms to his chest, some of which were already stained with scarlet blood. In front of him, a man of wretched figure was beating his abdomen with a wooden stick. In severe pain, he still stood up and epted the stick with the wind. After one and another blow, if he rxed a little, his back would be pierced by a sharp iron thorn behind him.


    Such inhuman torture did not make him beg for mercy. He just clenched his lip without any scream.


    ¡°Zhang Dong, You don¡¯t want your parents¡¯ lives anymore? Boss Mo hasn¡¯t killed someone for a long time. Do you really want to be killed?¡± Luo Yang said, dropping the stick. He hit hard on the body of Zhang Dong. Without a guard, his back immediately stuck in the iron thorn, and he was painful to snort. His red face suddenly became pale, and his forehead exuded dense cold sweat.


    Blood dripped into the sink below where his feet were soaked. The whole sink showed a faint red color.


    ¡°Boss Mo, as I said, I was going to do it. Lady... was in the hospital, and you can confirm it to her personally! You want me to do such a damaging thing... in front of the Lady... It was not a big deal if I was caught on the scene, but you can¡¯t afford it if the Lady was frightened!¡± Zhang Dong gasped for breath and resisted the tremendous pain he suffered when he was awake.


    Luo Yang smiled coldly. The switch on his hand was pressed down, with a booming sound of electric current. Although the two wires leading to the sink were still calm, Zhang Dong felt his calf muscles contracting violently and could hardly feel the existence of his legs. When the current stopped, Zhang Dong¡¯s eyes were torn with pain, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, but he just clenched his teeth and kept silent.


    ¡°Begin to do it? Zhang Dong, you are so clever to begin to do it when everyone was there!¡± Luo Yang said coldly.


    ¡°Did you send the news secretly? If we hadn¡¯tid hands on the back door of the hospital, the man named Lin Wenxi would have followed you long ago. Zhang Dong, well done!¡± Luo Yangughed and pushed the switch down again. Zhang Dong¡¯s face was almost twisted by the sudden pain. He stretched his neck and looked straight at Luo Yang.


    Mo Qian signaled Luo Yang to stop, Zhang Dong¡¯s body suddenly fell, soft in the iron thorn behind him. The sharp pain forced him to stand up, holding his abdomen straight. It was true that he could neither survive nor seek death.


    ¡°Are you really not afraid of death?¡± Mo Qian asked sharply.


    ¡°No,¡± Zhang Dong answered with hatred.


    ¡°I am afraid of death, but I am more afraid of life than death,¡± Zhang Dong said coldly.


    Zhang Dong did not know that Zhao Yuan¡¯s father was the one to be killed, but he was still unable to start. When he knew the truth, it was even more difficult to restrain his pain and anxiety. He was forced to change his cell phone number, lost everyone¡¯s way of contact, and was closely watched every day. Fortunately, for several days in session, the prison should have arranged for people to guard more tightly. Zhang Dong did not do his best, so he often dyed again and again on the pretext of fear of acting rashly and alerting the enemy.


    That night, it was supposed that a group of people was escorting Zhang Dong for information gathering. Unexpectedly, Zhang Dong took the initiative without warning. What assured the rest was that they stopped Zhang Dong at the back door. Otherwise, several student-like people who followed him, and one of them was Zhao Yuan mentioned by Luo Yang before. He was said to be very capable of fighting and might cause unexpected trouble.


    Several people escorted Zhang Dong back overnight and handed him over to Luo Yang. Under the threat of knives and guns, Zhang Dong was tied up in such a purgatory basement, a prison for traitors.


    ¡°You are seemingly not afraid of our means,¡± Luo Yang said coldly. Zhang Dong looked angrily at Tan Luoyang. His eyes were as bright as electricity. Luo Yang felt awkward. He dared not say a word again for a moment.


    ¡°Well, he¡¯s afraid of conscience. Fate is not better than death.¡± Mo Qian spoke out Zhang Dong¡¯s thought. Zhang Dong thought that Mo Qian was a cunning and shrewd man, but unfortunately, he became a running dog of Chen Family.


    ¡°Then you are not afraid of such fate worse than death?¡± Mo Qian said, and opened a video in which Zhang Dong¡¯s mother and stepfather were cooking vegetables in the kitchen with love. It was in his own home. Mo Qian deliberately send his parents back, but made such a despicable arrangement!


    ¡°From the kitchen to the bedroom, even the toilet, there are our cameras everywhere. What happened to your parents in bed and in the toilet, the videos are in my hands. Now I¡¯ve sealed them. Do I have to take all my brothers to watch them?¡± Mo Qian smiled happily and said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if we add something to their dishes at any time. It won¡¯t kill them. It will only let them pull up for a few days. Otherwise, they will lose sleep and hair... Ha-ha-ha.¡± Mo Qian¡¯sughter almost made Zhang Dong feel suffocated. Zhang Dong closed his eyes painfully and shook his head constantly. He wanted to say something in his throat, but he was too sad to speak out.


    The muscles on Mo Qian¡¯s face were slightly twitching, and soon he recovered calmly, and said, ¡°Bro, I won¡¯t do these to your parents as long as you are obedient. I promise your parents will be safe for the whole life!¡±


    Zhang Dong stiffened his neck and could not say a word. Suddenly, two drops of clear tears came down from his eyes, mixed with blood from the corners of his mouth. One and another drop fell into the pool, and in the silence, made a heartbreaking ticking sound.


    Mo Qian gazed at him for a moment and nodded slowly. He had to admit that Zhang Dong was indeed a tough man. But Mo Qian¡¯s greatest interest was to forge such an iron-boned man into a lunatic of war who obeyed him. He could serve himself when he was alive, and he could serve as the gun fodder to risk his life for him. If he got Zhang Dong with such good skill, it was just like adding wings to a tiger.


    ¡°Come on, Luo Yang, Zhang Dong is our brother. Now he just doesn¡¯t understand the task. The two old people in his family will make him understand. Let him go. Don¡¯t embarrass him any more. I¡¯ll see the Ladyter. I don¡¯t want my handy dirty.¡± Mo Qian said, with his figure disappearing in the darkness.


    Luo Yang was very reluctant to let Zhang Dong go until he had given several punches on him. Unexpectedly, Zhang Dong, despite being inhumanly tortured for a long time, he knocked Luo Yang down to the ground after release like a hungry wolf rushing to the tiger. But he still did not feel relieved. His several heavy punches knocked him almost unconscious. Luo Yang¡¯s face was full of blood, and his eyes could not open.


    Zhang Dong did not stop until a few people came over and control him.


    Luo Yang knew that if he couldn¡¯t kill Zhang Dong this time, he might receive some ¡°transparent holes¡±ter. He felt somewhat scared and said that he would forgive him this time, leaving with someone¡¯s support.


    Zhang Dong was watched and escorted to return to where he lived. Here, there was no TV, no Inte, no mobile phone, no paper and pen. Except for some special training equipment to prevent physical decline, there was no sharp thing. He had been here for nearly half a year. Since then, he has inadvertently found a bunch of letters written by Mo Qian more than ten years ago.

 Chapter 121 (Fine, Let’s Go!) When Everybody Adds Fuel, the Flames Rise High

    <h4>Chapter 121 (Fine, Let¡¯s Go!) When Everybody Adds Fuel, the mes Rise High</h4>


    When Lin Wenxi returned homete at night, he was scolded.


    ¡°Since your father was on a business trip, your uncle Hong Xuan couldn¡¯t escort him for the first time. He felt worried about you, so he left your uncle Hong Xuan to look in the countryside. You didn¡¯t evene back home, rather flew there!¡±


    With a series of rebuke, Lin Wenxi knew that Lin Ziwei mighte back in a few days. He failed to inquire about it by all means and was scolded, so he had to go to sleep at night.


    Lin Wenxi could not wait for his father to return home, but also was forced to study by his mother. After he called Zhao Yuan and asked about Zhao Mingjiang¡¯s condition, he returned to school reluctantly and received a letter from the school educational administration.


    It recorded how many exams Lin Wenxi had missed and how many credits had been deducted. Graduation from Jifu University only depended on the credit system. Even if one failed all the examinations, as long as there were enough the usual umted credits, it was enough for one to graduate. Lin Wenxi¡¯s umted credits at this time, was almost deducted to the degree of being on the verge of retardation. He then read the announcement about Zhao Yuan, whose cross-country training points were also deducted to the degree that there was not much left.


    Lin Wenxi, who was worried all day, had no mood of going to ss again. On that day, he was hit by a piece of paper on his forehead at the school gate. The contents of the note made him unable to sit still any more.


    There were only a few scrawled words on the note, ¡°Zhao Mingjiang is in a critical situation!¡± There were no more words.


    Lin Wenxi did not intentionally wonder why the note hit himself in this way, who wrote it. He hurried to contact Zhao Yuan, inquiring about Zhao Mingjiang¡¯s recent situation. He dared not to disclose what the note said for the time being. Lin Wenxi went to the hospital again, so he knew that Zhao Mingjiang would suffer from repeated illness due to being stimtedst time. However, he insisted that Zheng Zihuan would not take care of him again and let him go back.


    In the hospital, Chen Wanxin was on the day shift and Zhao Yuan was on the night shift. Sometimes, Zhao Yuan¡¯s aunt Liu Lanhua and uncle Cao Damiao would help, and sometimes several of Zhao Mingjiang¡¯s rtives came to visit intermittently, so the two could rx a little. Since the New Year was approaching, many rtives and friends had to travel back and forth, which was also very hard.


    Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t find anybody else to help him. He went to find Zheng Kai, who was helping to formte the student¡¯s military management n, and handed over the note.


    ¡°You mean, someone wanted to harm Boss Zhao?¡± Zheng Kai asked.


    Lin Wenxi did not intentionally care about Zhao Mingjiang¡¯s nickname casually made by Zhang Kai. He asked, ¡°What should we do?¡±


    ¡°Call the police,¡± Zheng Kai said.


    Lin Wenxi looked at him with a faint smile.


    Zheng Kai suddenly realized that the words on the note were not threats, but rather reminders. How could the police ept it?


    ¡°You believe it, don¡¯t you? Who on earth did Boss Zhao offend to be tortured like this?¡± Zheng Kai asked.


    Lin Wenxi pretended not to know.


    ¡°D*mn it. My dad even refused to recognize his family for the sake of Boss Zhao. Now I have to go and serve him? Are all our family ves of Zhao Yuan? Fine, let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll mobilize some brothers.¡± Zheng Kai¡¯s fatalistic turn left Lin Wenxi speechless.


    Zheng Kai called friends and recruited several brothers, and let Lin Wenxi lead the way. Gu Xi went to find several girls in Dormitory 419. Shu Xiaoman was of course duty-bound. Zhou Nannan also took Wang Zhengjuan. Zhang An¡¯an alone was pregnant and had applied for an off-campus residence and Wang Xiang was taking care of her. Lu Sisi, Zheng Kai¡¯s girlfriend, did not know what to do but insisted to follow him. Zheng Kai red at and frightened her, so she had to quit.


    Zhao Yuan was surprised to see a group of people rushing to the hospital, so Lin Wenxi took out the note. When Zhao Yuan watched his brothers and sisters who join together to help him when the final exam was approaching, his eyes were instantly moist. When there was no one to help and no one to depend on, the helping hands were undoubtedly like a charcoal in the snow, which gave him much confidence and hope.


    In the hospital, Gu Xi and the girls were assigned for the day shift and boys for the night shift, and each person took a four-hour rotation, while Zhao Yuan stayed in the ward almost day and night.


    Gu Xi was a little angry, and she had to often face Chen Wanxin with a cold face by herself during the day shift. Wang Zhengjuan volunteered to be on the night shift. Zhou Nannan was definitely willing to apany her. As for Shu Xiaoman, when Lin Wenxi was awake, she was awake. Even when Lin Wenxi was asleep, she sometimes was still awake to be lost in thought in order to watch Lin Wenxi. It was better to say that she was on duty only for Lin Wenxi.


    During the day, there still needed someone to take care of him. Gu Xi had to undertake all kinds of tasks such as food purchasing. But the money was given by Chen Wanxin.


    Two other prison guards and people were on shifts. When they saw ¡°massive forces¡± guards, they mulled along, sometimes went to the bathroom, sometimes went to the streets, or even stayed away for a whole day, which seemed extremely rxed. In their opinion, if Zhao Mingjiang abandoned treatment, he could be dead, and the matter would be over, but he was still holding hisst breath. It seemed that he was getting better, which forced their colleagues to be on duty. Until Zhao Mingjiang would be able to move freely, he would be sent to the prison hospital, and then received the unfinished trial. It was just a death penalty. The difference lied in that he died earlier orter. It cost them so much money to suffer, which really made them puzzled.


    asionally, just as the group of people who stayed up all night fell asleep carefully in the customized room next to them, Gu Xi and Shu Xiaoman, standing outside the window with dark eyes, looked at each other and smiled.


    Late at night, it was supposed that two or three people were on duty for four hours, and then in turn. Everyone was nervous and in high spirits, while Zheng Kai had his own favorite cigarettes, taking turns all night and breathing mist to refresh himself.


    ¡°Gu Xi is good to you. He only buy your favorite brand of cigarettes.¡± Wang Zhengjuan was flicking the ashes and chatted with Zheng Kai at the window. Zhou Nannan was wrapped in a quilt and slept on the sofa in the inner room.


    ¡°Umm,¡± Zheng Kai said perfunctorily.


    ¡°Well, in fact, Gu Xi is more suitable for you than Wanxin. Wanxin has done this for Zhao Yuan. Is it possible for her to notice you?¡± Wang Zhengjuan lightly kicked Zheng Kai. Zheng Kai helped Chen Wanxin cover the quilt at night, leaving a whole cup of hot tea, which was witnessed clearly by her. But Chen Wanxin may think it was made by Zhao Yuan, because she always stared at Zhao Yuan after she woke up.


    ¡°I have a girlfriend,¡± Zheng Kai said carelessly.


    ¡°Come on! Who can you lie to? You may soon break up with Lu Sisi, right? An¡¯an said that you are on a rtionship with a few women. Recently you changed girlfriend frequently, or, it was for Wanxin. However, it doesn¡¯t make sense. Then, you did it for Gu Xi. What on earth has Gu Xi done to you? You are so disgusted with him.¡± Wang Zhengjuan gently spat out a smog with a smile.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t do it for anyone. I am willing to do it. If you don¡¯t care about my business, I won¡¯t mind yours.¡± Zheng Kai was a little unhappy


    ¡°I was right, haha! Guess what An¡¯an said? She said that either Gu Xi kissed you, or attacked you when you were showering, or he did you when you were drunk. You were angry because you were bottom? It was you who took his advantage since Gu Xi was so handsome. Why were you so mad?¡± Wang Zhengjuanughed.


    ¡°D*mn it! What¡¯s in Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s head? Let all stuffed into her stomach. She was concentrating on either Wenxi or Gu Xi. Is that enough?¡± Zheng Kai frowned, and somewhat could notugh or cry.


    ¡°You should not be worried by others. You and Gu Xi, Wenxi and Zhao Yuan, two couples. How good it is!¡± Wang Zhengjuan stillughed.


    ¡°Either you are joking due to childlike mind or psychologically ill. How is it a good thing?¡± Zheng Kai couldn¡¯t help muttering.


    Wang Zhengjuan¡¯s expression immediately changed. ¡°Who did you say was psychologically ill?¡±


    Zheng Kai turned around. ¡°I respect you as a hero so I don¡¯t quarrel with you!¡±


    ¡°You f*cking should respect me as a man!¡± Wang Zhengjuan put one hand on Zheng Kai¡¯s shoulder, and it was almost to fight. Zhou Nannan whimpered inside and woke up. She immediately put on a smile and ran over to Zhou Nannan. In the end, she dropped a sentence, ¡°I wish your dad and your children will have this psychological problem in the future!¡±


    Zheng Kai¡¯s heart sank suddenly. When Zheng Zihuan had to leave the hospital, it was Zheng Kai who picked him up. At that time, Zheng Kai was afraid that he could not forget the eyes look when Zheng Zihuan looked at Zhao Mingjiang for all his life. He never saw his father shed tears.

 Chapter 122 (Men Stay Here!) Lin Wenxi Was Attacked When He Returned to School

    <h4>Chapter 122 (Men Stay Here!) Lin Wenxi Was Attacked When He Returned to School</h4>


    So many students in a ss ran away, but atst they couldn¡¯t swathe mes in paper. Under the strict orders of the university counselor, several other boys were on duty for a few days, but eventually, they went back one after another because nothing serious happened.


    Later, Gu Xi could not hold up. Instead, he was taken care of by others due to sickness. He dared not stay there but ran back to school secretly and silently, which made Lin Wenxi ufortable for a long time.


    Zheng Kai was worried about being attacked by someone during the daytime, so he chose to be on duty with Chen Wanxin during the day. His kindness was ridiculed by Lin Wenxi that he was a single dog driven out of the door in a snowy day, watched the owners fall over each other under the window and shed tears. Zheng Kai was surprised at why Lin Wenxi was so mean. Atst, he was saddened by the clear picture in Lin Wenxi¡¯s words, and lit cigarettes in the window.


    Shu Xiaoman was more and more depressed. The three girls in her dormitory had dependent but she had not even seen the hope of germination. She thought that if she tried her best to treat Lin Wenxi, she would be able to wait for the day when the clouds and mists were cleared, even if not, she could ept that he was with Zhao Yuan. But this boy would try his best as long as it was beneficial to Zhao Yuan, and would avoid everything that was unfavorable to Zhao Yuan. He was even afraid that his loud voice would affect Zhao Yuan¡¯s sleep. Surprisingly, he knew that Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin was sleeping in another room, but he could guard at the door of the ward without showing his emotion.


    More than once, she felt that she was seemingly farther and farther away from the boy. When she left the hospital, Lin Wenxi had not been retained her at all, nor had she ever been sent out.


    ¡°Wenxi, you should go back to school.¡± Zhao Yuan suddenly sat in the bench in the hospital corridor, by Lin Wenxi¡¯s side, and said before he kept silent for a long time.


    ¡°Did I disturb your two-people¡¯s world?¡± Lin Wenxi bowed his head and yed the only game, Snake, in his mobile phone, and said absently.


    ¡°Wenxi...¡± Zhao Yuan took Lin Wenxi by the shoulder and held him in his arms. ¡°Do you know? Sometimes, it¡¯s the only way I feel like I¡¯m still alive.¡±


    ¡°Yuan... I am sorry... I don¡¯t know your situation, or I¡¯ll never ask my dad to ban the boxing gym.¡± Lin Wenxi shrank in Zhao Yuan¡¯s hug and whispered.


    ¡°I don¡¯t me you. It¡¯s me who is useless.¡± Zhao Yuan gently patted Lin Wenxi¡¯s back. ¡°You must be tired these days.¡±


    ¡°Since you have met your darling, how can you not be overjoyed?¡± Lin Wenxi smilingly said, ¡°Anyway, you don¡¯t understand.¡±


    ¡°They are Gu Xi¡¯s two dishes. One is red bean porridge mixed with something, called ¡®since you have met your darling¡¯ and the other is a heart-shaped pair of stewed chicken wings, called ¡®how can you not be overjoyed¡¯. I have known it for a long time.¡± Zhao Yuan smiled wearily and said, ¡°You and him are literary and artistic young fair boys.¡±


    ¡°Did my mother contact you?¡± Lin Wenxi asked. He knew that once the university counselor called his family and his mother couldn¡¯t contact him, she would go to Zhao Yuan, which became a routine when Zhao Yuan first called his family. Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t know that Zhao Yuan had been scolded before he came.


    ¡°Well, if you don¡¯t go back to school, your credits would be negative,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°We can repeat the year¡¯s work together, and we stay in school for another year.¡± Lin Wenxiughed and rubbed in Zhao Yuan¡¯s hug, feeling dissatisfied, rubbed again. Then still dissatisfied, he like a cat generally rubbed directly under his neck. Zhao Yuan could not help kissing him. When they were amused, someone coughed slightly beside them. It was Zheng Zihuan.


    ¡°You¡¯re not afraid that something happened to your father since you did it on duty!¡± Zheng Zihuan said sternly.


    Lin Wenxi blushed to his ears. He recalled that they couldn¡¯t hold their feelings and made such a move in the corridor. Obviously, Zheng Zihuan was looking straight at them.


    ¡°Uncle Zheng, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Zhao Yuan asked.


    ¡°What were you doing? You are two boys.¡± Zheng Zihuan turned around to look at Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°We were training on how to do artificial respiration,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°How about helping me have a try?¡± Zheng Zihuan said with a poker face.


    ¡°Zheng Kai can do it, too,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    Lin Wenxi almostughed. Zhao Yuan could be rascally at any time, which was really puzzling.


    ¡°I¡¯ll rotate with you, beause your university counselor had called several times for urging. A¡¯kai, have to go back to school...¡± Zheng Zihuan said with some embarrassment.


    ¡°Howe? His credit ranked the first. It¡¯s all right for him not to go to school in half a year,¡± Lin Wenxi said in surprise.


    ¡°His credit was used for more important things,¡± Zheng Zihuan said briefly.


    Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi looked at each other and suddenly came to realize, so they got up together to find Zheng Kai.


    ¡°All three of you can go back for the time being. I¡¯ll stay here with A Yuan,¡± Zheng Zihuan said to Chen Wanxin who was rubbing her eyes after waking up.


    Chen Wanxin of course refused, but her phone rang. It was an unprecedented scolding by her mother Deng Yifei. She also knew that if she didn¡¯t want to repeat her grades in disgrace, she had to attend the intensive examinations of these days. Since she asked others to take the examinations for her and she was caught once. ording to the school rules, she should have been deducted a lot of credits and kept in school but ced under surveince. If it hadn¡¯t been Mo Qian who calmed down the matter, it would have been difficult to deal with it if it hadn¡¯t been passed on to her father.


    There was a professional course examination the next morning, so they three dared not dy much, but rushed to Jifu University overnight.


    The rented car came to the city in thete evening. They three was walking in parallel in the underground passage. The lights were somewhat dim, and there were few pedestrians. If at ordinary times, even if Lin Wenxi alone was walking in the tunnel which could absorb all voices, and could not help being scared.


    On the other side of the tunnel suddenly came out of several tall young people, who were all wearing masks and holding sticks in their hands, and surrounded them as if they knew them.


    Zheng Kai believed that he could win if he fought alone. But at that moment, it was hard to protect his beloved girl and his roommate, Lin Wenxi, equal to half a woman.


    Zheng Kai looked eagerly at them, escorting Lin Wenxi and Chen Wanxin behind him, and said loudly, ¡°Bro, is it my Zheng Kai¡¯s fault offend you, or is there something else? One should answer for what he does himself. You can aim at me. You can¡¯t be real men if you bully the girl and kid.¡±


    They ignored it.


    Lin Wenxi, suppressing his fear, smiled and said, ¡°We are only students. We haven¡¯t dealt with any of you. Do you mistake us for somebody else?¡±


    ¡°Would you like to fight with him? I will also respect you as a real man even if you lose it!¡± Chen Wanxin said with a smile.


    The leader of them said in a low voice, ¡°Men stay here, and the girl gets away right now.¡±


    Zheng Kai giggled, and said on purpose, ¡°First teach us how to get away!¡± He kicked one person to the side, and seized the stick in his hand. He handed it to Chen Wanxin, and pushed her behind him. ¡°You go first, and call the police.¡± He pointed to Lin Wenxi and said, ¡°He is also a woman.¡± So he protected Lin Wenxi to rush out.


    Chen Wanxin handed back the stick and turned her head very simply. She never believed that the police woulde faster than Luo Yang.

 Chapter 123 (Don’t Fall Down) Zheng Kai Was Injured for Protecting Wanxin

    <h4>Chapter 123 (Don¡¯t Fall Down) Zheng Kai Was Injured for Protecting Wanxin</h4>


    ¡°Don¡¯t run first,¡± Lin Wenxi whispered, ¡°Wait for Wanxin to go far.¡±


    Zheng Kai felt it very reasonable. First, he stopped and looked around at the unknown criminals. For a moment, he said to Lin Wenxi, ¡°Are you ready?¡±


    Lin Wenxi nodded and felt that Zheng Kai was pulling him like they were going to fly forward.


    ¡°We don¡¯t want to see blood.¡± On the other side of the tunnel, a few people approached them with glittering knives. Zheng Kai stopped immediately and breathed in a cool breath. ¡°D*mn it, is my life going to be buried here? I haven¡¯t yed with enough women!¡±


    ¡°Zheng Kai, you try to fight those holding sticks. If it¡¯s not difficult, just leave,¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°I will not leave you behind. Rest assured!¡± Zheng Kai spat to the ground, and took a breath to refresh himself. Immediately, he looking around coldly, like an evil ghost.


    ¡°They may aim at me. There is no need to make a vain sacrifice,¡± Lin Wenxi whispered.


    ¡°Not true. We can stall for a moment and wait for the police.¡± Zheng Kai held on to Lin Wenxi tightly. ¡°It¡¯s easy to handle it if there is no blood!¡± After that, he waved the stick and immediately hit one of them. It was strange that these people did not rush up. Zheng Kai also tried to kick forth and back, and two fell down. Unexpectedly, these people did not attack Lin Wenxi, so he said, ¡°Their target is me! Run as fast as you can whenever it is a gap. As he was saying, he loosened Lin Wenxi, and rushed up to try his best to fight. His stick opened and closed, but no one could get close to him. Until he turned around, he saw Lin Wenxi, grinning bitterly, was controlled by a group of people. He was just about to run there.


    Zheng Kai patted his head seriously. ¡°F*ck! Stupid!¡± With a loud roar, he ran away.


    Since those holding sticks could not stop Zheng Kai, he was about to catch up with Lin Wenxi. A knife light appeared in front of him. Zheng Kai heard Chen Wanxin shouting alongside him, ¡°No!¡± Immediately he followed the sound to see, those gangsters thought that they could not control they two in a short time. Some had no opinions, and one of them suddenly took out a bright dagger from his arms and went straight to Chen Wanxin.


    Zheng Kai found that Chen Wanxin was so close to one of them. Without hesitation, he jumped forward and embraced Chen Wanxin in his arms, but only felt it was cool at his back.


    Lin Wenxi turned around and covered his mouth. He saw that half of the bright white dagger had been inserted into Zheng Kai¡¯s back, which was instantly dyed red by blood.


    The leader pped him who did it fiercely and several people shouted, ¡°Take him away now!¡± Then Hijacking Lin Wenxi, they ran.


    ¡°Police! Stop! ¡± A fierce roar came. When Lin Wenxi saw the people in front of him, his heart immediately became rxed.


    Hong Xuan, with more than a dozen uniformed personnel, seemed to descend from the sky and stood at the tunnel with majesty.


    The cold knife rested on Lin Wenxi¡¯s neck with the sharp edge, and Lin Wenxi could not help but creep.


    ¡°One more step forward, he¡¯s dead!¡± the man said fiercely, waving his colleagues together, frowning slightly, and ordering the policemen to step back. When they walked a little further, they pushed Lin Wenxi and turned around to run away.


    Hearing a gunshot and standing in his ce, Lin Wenxi was almost paralyzed. Hong Xuan firmly held him up and whispered, ¡°Lin Ziwei¡¯s child can¡¯t be so coward.¡±


    Coward... Lin Wenxi thought in silence. He always thought that such a bloody scene would only appear in theputer screen. He did not know that he had already been involved in it, and he, for the first time in his life, heard such a deafening gunshot. How could he not feel scared? The danger was so close!


    ¡°Zheng Kai!¡± Lin Wenxi rushed to Zheng Kai, and Zheng Kai was just holding Chen Wanxin, leaning against the wall, and watching her tenderly.


    The body was extremely warm, but blood seemed to be coagted. Chen Wanxin had to admit that for the first time in her life, she had an illusion that she could not shed tears when Zheng Kai had rushed to her. She opened her eyes and looked at the blood in her hands exuding from the man with pity and concern in his eyes, and even some apology. For the first time, she felt that he might be dying to protect herself.


    All the pledges were not as one-thousandth good as they were now. She vaguely remembered that Zhang An¡¯an had said that they had long past the age of listening to love.


    ¡°Listen, I won¡¯t let you die, understand?¡± Chen Wanxin said in a trembling voice.


    Zheng Kai nodded and gently pushed Chen Wanxin aside. He slowlyy down along the wall. Lin Wenxi half knelt on the ground and caught him.


    The sound of the ambnce pierced the tranquility of the night, like the fierce lightning in the chaos, which made Lin Wenxi suddenly awake. ¡°Uncle Hong Xuan, hospital!¡±


    Hong Xuan nodded, leaving a few people to take care of, jumped on the police car. And the police car drove to the hospital, shing red and blue light and zooming away.


    ¡°Zheng Kai, you always say you are a pure man. Don¡¯t fall down...¡± Lin Wenxi said, with tears falling.


    ¡°Not dead...¡± Zheng Kai gasped heavily, only feeling that his back began to warm up with a burst of heat, his head began to feel dizzy, and his breathing seemed difficult.


    ¡°Don¡¯t speak A¡¯kai, don¡¯t speak...¡± said Lin Wenxi. But he felt it wrong again. In general, at this moment on TV, one would say, ¡°Don¡¯t sleep. Don¡¯t sleep.¡± Lin Wenxi suddenly felt confused.


    Zheng Kai totally could abandon himself and run away, and then go to call the police. He should not have faced the dazzling knife like this. He was brave and courageous. Who let him not cherish his own life so much? Who let him use his flesh and blood body to block Chen Wanxin¡¯s knife. Lin Wenxi thought that even if Zheng Kai did not rush to it, the knife wouldn¡¯t fall on Chen Wanxin. Lin Wenxi looked at Chen Wanxin viciously and smiled coldly.


    Chen Wanxin squatted down and looked at Zheng Kai in silence. She reached out and grasped him tightly.


    At the near high slope, Luo Yang said to Mo Qian, ¡°Boss Mo, we don¡¯t have to let those waste go at all.¡±


    ¡°Now that you know they are waste, of course, you have to let them go earlier! If something happened again, we can¡¯t afford the consequence!¡± Mo Qian said.


    Luo Yang had never seen Mo Qian feared anyone since he followed him. Even facing Chen Tianjiao, Mo Qian just showed his respect, and he did not have to follow Chen Tianjiao¡¯s instructionspletely. At this time, it clearly showed that they had hostages, which was an advantage, but he easily ordered to let them go, which really made him puzzled.


    ¡°Do you know who the leader is?¡± Mo Qian seemed to have guessed what Luo Yang was thinking and asked, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that he could mobilize the police!¡±


    ¡°Is that the driver who always follows Lin Ziwei?¡± Luo Yang asked in a low voice.


    ¡°That¡¯s Lin Ziwei¡¯s most ruthless subordinate in the army and Lin Ziwei¡¯s brother. They went through fire and water together!¡± Mo Qian said coldly. Suddenly he was thinking, ¡°After all, I chose a road different from yours. I hope we don¡¯t have to confront each other as we did today.¡±

 Chapter 124 (Act now!) Mo Qian Made a Ruthless Plot Based on His Previous Plot

    <h4>Chapter 124 (Act now!) Mo Qian Made a Ruthless Plot Based on His Previous Plot</h4>


    Ambnces came hurtling toward here and sent the group of people to the affiliated hospital of Jifu University.


    It became increasingly difficult for Zheng Kai to breath. Fortunately, that person stabbed him on his right side. Then, the de passed his spine and thrust through his lung sideways.


    Lin Wenxi sat there, looking depressed. Standing by the window, Chen Wanxin stared nkly up at the dark sky in silence.


    She had made a call to Luo Yang, but he only said, ¡°They are our men. We are to take Lin Wenxi away and lock him up for two days to keep him from meddling in our business. No one will embarrass you.¡±


    ¡°You block the way of a ssmate of mine, what about him?¡± asked Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°Is your ssmate that Zheng Kai? It seems that he is not so close to Lin Wenxi, so he will get kicked a few times at the most as long as he doesn¡¯t fight desperately.¡±


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say that earlier? If you only wanted to catch Lin Wenxi, why didn¡¯t you find a chance to catch him when he was alone?¡± asked Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°But it was urgent! You didn¡¯t know that started with the investigation on the matter happened in the boxing field, Lin Ziwei had found out a lot of things recently. By locking his son up can buy Boss Mo a little time to arrange things. Buttely, Lin Wenxi had been hiding in the hospital where you are in and was not reluctant toe out. Today, we finally get a chance to catch him!¡±


    ¡°But the people you found to catch Lin Wenxi are so stupid! Now both of them may start to suspect me!¡± After dejectedly hanging up the phone, Chen Wanxin figured out a solution. Then in the confusion, she walked outside and nned to purge herself of suspicion by bing a hostage.


    But it did not ur to Chen Wanxin that Zheng Kai would be so generous that he was even willing to risk his life for Lin Wenxi. Chen Wanxin screamed just now because she suddenly realized that they were about toy their murderous hands on Zheng Kai. Upon hearing Chen Wanxin¡¯s voice, that person stopped abruptly. However, in a panic, another bandit was in the middle of chasing Zheng Kai so that the sudden appearance of Chen Wanxin startled him. Holding a dagger in his hand, the bandit rushed toward her unconsciously, which surprised Chen Wanxin even more. At this time, Zheng Kai was afraid that it would be toote to stop the bandit who was rushing to Chen Wanxin. So his first response was to block this attack, which might not be very dangerous, by his flesh and blood...


    Until the doctor announced that there was nothing seriously wrong with Zheng Kai, Lin Wenxi and Chen Wanxin finally let out a sigh of relief. The doctor said that Zheng Kai needed to do a minimally invasive operation when he woke from surgery. Then, ording to his physical condition, he should take a rest and adjust for some time. After that, he could leave the hospital.


    When Lin Wenxi learned that nothing strange had happened in the hospital that night, he experienced the onset of tremendous drowsiness and sunk into a deep sleep outside of the ward.


    That night.


    ¡°Only because Miss Chen was near to him, the man wanted to hold her hostage so as to force Zheng Kai to surrender. He didn¡¯t mean to do any harm to Miss Chen. After all, he managed to hurt one of them.¡± Being tamed by Mo Qian¡¯s arbitrariness, Luo Yang almost knelt to the ground to beg for the leniency. Just now, they didn¡¯t see everything clearly. It was not until Chen Wanxin made a call and reproached harshly that Luo Yang finally knew that the bunch of idiots hired by him had made such a big mistake.


    ¡°But that doesn¡¯t mean he could put Miss Chen¡¯s life in danger!¡± In a fury, Mo Qian scolded.


    Luo Yang trembled a little and said. ¡°I have told everything to the leader of them. However, I could not make everything clear right in front of the men of the leader. You also know that the less I show my face, the better.¡±


    ¡°How many people we have lost this time?¡± Mo Qian asked, his face somber.


    ¡°Only three of us are arrested. The three are all insignificant people so that they will give out nothing, ¡± Luo Yang said with an apologetical smile.


    ¡°Will they give out nothing? Our men temporarily decided to catch Lin Wenxi at the time they spotted Lin Wenxi, so why could Hong Xuan get here in such a short time? Someone in your group must have be his informant, you idiot!¡± Mo Qian said calmly.


    ¡°Hong Xuan, could he really be that capable...¡± Luo Yang could not help but feel a bit frightened. Meanwhile, he greatly admired Mo Qian, who had repeatedly told him recently not to appear on a public asion easily.


    ¡°The one who led, is he reliable? He didn¡¯t get caught, did he?¡± Mo Qian asked.


    ¡°A rtive of the Chen family introduced him to me, so there should be nothing wrong with him. The informant must be one of his men, but even if he is caught, he cannot do me any harm,¡± said Luo Yang carefully.


    ¡°Arrange the leader to hide in other provinces first. As for the other things, I will think about them.¡± Lying on the sofa, Mo Qian sat cross-legged and closed his eyes for rest.


    With the greatest caution, Luo Yang made a cup of mint herbal tea and ced it on the table. When Mo Qian closed his eyes to take a rest, he usually needed something to refresh him.


    ¡°If Lin Wenxi disappeared for a few days, Lin Ziwei would certainly not dare to investigate further. But now, we have failed to catch Lin Wenxi, so I guess that Hong Xuan will be better prepared and Lin Ziwei also will not stop. I am afraid that we will mess this thing up sooner orter. Why didn¡¯t that condemned prisoner kill Zhao Mingjiang at that time? If he had seeded, he could have saved us from so much trouble!¡± Mo Qian could not help but feel a little upset.


    Ten more years ago, Zhao Guangli took part in the bid to build the tallest building in Yangzi County. After he went through the evaluations of all the parties, the all qualified Zhao Guangli stood out from thepetition and won the bid. However, Chen Tianjiao, who was in charge of the examination and approval of buildings, dyed the final investigation on the bid. No other reasons, it was just that Chen Tianjiao had received the money and gifts from many families except Zhao Guangli who had sent him nothing. Zhao Guangli was quite sure that no one dared not to approve his application because the result of the open bid was set in stone. Zhao Guangli looked down on him like this really annoyed Chen Tianjiao.


    Chen Tianjiao waited for Zhao Guangli toe to find him proactively. Unfortunately, that stubborn Zhao Guangli was so conceited that he asked the construction crew to begin their construction work before he got all the bidding documents. Therefore, Chen Tianjiao decided to go the whole hog, ignoring whatever the consequences. He waited for a chance. Then at the time when Zhao Guangli did the construction work to a certain degree, he disapproved of Zhao Guangli¡¯s application for construction on the excuse of the iplete application materials.


    Even if this man of little importance reported this matter to the higher authorities, Chen Tianjiao knew that he was well prepared. It was also the reason why Lin Ziwei could not trace the case to its source when he got the caseter on.


    Why was the material iplete? Because in secret, someone changed some of the construction application materials as Chen Tianjiao had instructed.


    Why could Chen Tianjiao disapprove of the materials when the construction crew had constructed for such a long time? Because a subordinate of Chen Tianjiao failed to submit the application documents in time. This subordinate of Chen Tianjiao took the me for him as Chen Tianjiao had instructed.


    Why could the construction crew start their work without any certificate for the construction? ording to the regtions, Zhao Guangli had already passed the preliminary examination in the open bid. Thus, in theory, he could first carry out a small part of the construction work.


    Because of the thing about the documents, Zhao Guangli almost lost all his property to build the tallest building. But why didn¡¯t anyone warn him about that? It was because Zhao Guangli was too conceited.


    Chen Tianjiao only intended to make Zhao Guangli bankrupt. But he did not expect that a member of his family had a creditor-debtor rtionship with Zhao Guangli. Moreover, on the power and position of Chen Tianjiao, one of his men beat and raped Zhao Guangli¡¯s wife, Liu Xuehua, for many times. What happened to Liu Xuehua made her insane. Then, on her way of running away from home, she got killed by a car. Chen Tianjiao was lucky enough because he also got connections in the traffic management bureau. Thus, they sent Liu Xuehua¡¯s body to the funeral parlor on the excuse that they could not identify the dead. Then, they cremated her body and scattered her ashes by the way. It was just the series of these things that brought some hidden dangers to the trouble that happenedter.


    At first, no one had expected that Lin Ziwei would suddenly investigate the case based on discipline inspection. Moreover, no one had ever thought that someone found out Zhao Mingjiang was Zhao Guangli. Initially, Zhao Guangli had already epted his fate and stopped appealing to the higher authorities for help. However, someone secretly did something to his truck such that his wheel suddenly became malfunctioned when he was driving. Bad things happened to him once again. Feeling that his life was threatened, Zhao Mingjiang immediately decided to appeal again, so he contacted Lin Ziwei for many times. Lin Ziwei followed up the evidence left on the truck and tracked down the case. Little by little, Lin Ziwei found out the rapist in that very year. Up to this point, both the rapist and Zhao Mingjiang had to die.


    They arranged the rapist to provoke Zhao Mingjiang. They just wanted to put Zhao Mingjiang in prison for fighting, and then they could make a condemned prisoner attack and kill him. But it had never urred to them that Zhao Mingjiang would fight desperately with the rapist and stabbed him to death out of the years of hatred. This thing arose another wave of disturbances. Although the condemned prisoner managed to attack Zhao Mingjiang, he failed to kill him. This event brought them a lot more trouble then.


    Zhao Mingjiang must die.


    Mo Qian suddenly opened his eyes and thought to himself, ¡°God helps me! Now Hong Xuan has paid all his attention to Lin Wenxi and has sent his men to protect him. Then, he must not be in the mood to guard Zhao Mingjiang.¡± Mo Qian slightly smiled. ¡°Luo Yang, ask Zhang Dong to act now!¡±

 Chapter 125 (An Unqualified Shtup Buddy) Wanxin Argued Angrily with the Coquette

    <h4>Chapter 125 (An Unqualified Shtup Buddy) Wanxin Argued Angrily with the Coquette</h4>


    Early the next morning, Lin Wenxi asked Gu Xi to the hospital, waiting for Zheng Kai to wake up. A girl was alsoing with Gu Xi. She was precisely Lu Sisi, Zheng Kai¡¯s girlfriend.


    Zheng Kai opened his eyes in the morning light, and a burst of pain came from his back and his chest. In pain, he slightly frowned. But the moment he saw Chen Wanxin, all his pain went away.


    When Gu Xi learned that Zheng Kai was seriously injured, he immediately felt an importunate throb of pain. And Lin Wenxi also told him about how severe Zheng Kai¡¯s situation was. Thus, Gu Xi thought that Zheng Kai would be too painful to say anything when he woke up. However, it didn¡¯t ur to him that Zheng Kai actually behaved like this.


    ¡°Previously, when I was sick, I would be extremely delicate. The sickness would always make my eyes fill with tears. Even more, I would moan as if I was suffering from a much greater pain than I really did. Previously, when I felt ufortable because of illness, the sunny day would turn into a cloudy one in my eyes. I honestly wished that I could change my tears into rains in the sky and let my tears drop altogether. But under such a heavy blow, Zheng Kai, he actually smiled peacefully and gazed only at Chen Wanxin now.¡±


    Gu Xi sensed that in this life, there would never be other girls who Zheng Kai would gaze at in that way, let alone himself. Even if Zheng Kai would cast his eyes at him, he only regarded Gu Xi as a special friend or his brother. However, such a rtionship would gradually be memory bubbles when Zheng Kai got married and had children in another ce after graduation. But at this moment, the pair of tender eyes of Zheng Kai resolved all the unwillingness of Gu Xi. Gu Xi knew that he really should give up now and gave Zheng Kai his most true blessing. He hoped that Zheng Kai could get the girl he wanted.


    ¡°Wanxin...¡± It was Zheng Kai¡¯s first sentence.


    ¡°I will rent a few days of mine to you. The rental fee is the blood that you have shed for me,¡± said Chen Wanxin.


    Zheng Kai¡¯s eyes widened, and he could not helpughing. But soon, he coughed intensely without stop. The nurse outside of the door rushed in. They almost wanted to chock the person who should have been lying on the bed obediently to death.


    The nurses scolded Zheng Kai¡¯s ¡°families¡± by enumerating their wrongdoings and left while gazing at each other in speechless dismay. Seeing that Zheng Kai¡¯s eyes were still full of smile, Chen Wanxin could not help smiling slightly.


    ¡°I am the girlfriend of A¡¯kai. Since I am here to apany him, what are you doing here?¡± Lu Sisi could not help but identify herself.


    ¡°Are you Lu Sisi?¡± Chen Wanxin yawned and cast a sharp look at her. Then she said while smiling coldly. ¡°You are only one of Zheng Kai¡¯s unqualified shtup buddy. Why do you yell here?¡±


    ¡°You!¡± All of a sudden, Lu Sisi¡¯s face became red with anger. ¡°You are not even his shtup buddy!¡±


    ¡°Almost every day, you ask him to do push-ups when you sit on his back. You also make him do pull-ups while sping him round the neck. What¡¯s more, you let him carry you in his arms and go running. Then what? You ask others to shoot all of this and upload those pictures to Facebook to show everyone that you have such a horse-like boyfriend. Uhm, a robust stallion who is great in bed.¡± With this, Chen Wanxin nced at Zheng Kai, who smiled even more brilliant.


    ¡°You only like his body, which only makes you a sow in heat! Why do you bother broadly showing everyone those postures you make on the bed?¡± Chen Wanxin said while smiling sweetly.


    ¡°You are the sow in heat! Neither are you his girlfriend, nor have you had sex with him. What right do you have to scold me? What qualifies you to take care of A¡¯kai here?¡± Lu Sisi became furious. She pointed at the tip of Chen Wanxin¡¯s nose and roared.


    ¡°Hey, hey, why are you angry?¡± ¡°I heard that every time before you make love, you would poke a hole in the condom. Do you want to give birth to a stallion surnamed Zheng or a sow named Zheng Si?¡± Holding Lu Sisi¡¯s fingers in her hand, Chen Wanxin pinched them mercilessly.


    ¡°You...¡± Lu Sisi almost cried with anger. Now that Chen Wanxin exposed such a secret of the boudoir of her face to face, how could she not feel shameful?


    ¡°A¡¯kai, this thing, you...¡± With a mournful face, Lu Sisi was trying to say something to Zheng Kai, and there were tears in her eyes already.


    ¡°Zheng Kai disdained to say jokes like that to me! However, as a man, he also likes talking after drinking a few bottles of wine. Meanwhile, Zheng Kai, he has a gossip roommate who likes sharing bullsh*t to others. Do you know he is the gossip man of the universe?¡± Sitting on the stool cross-legged, Chen Wanxin carelessly picked up the seeds of the strawberry in her hands with a toothpick. After she said that, she looked up and smiled.


    Upon hearing Chen Wanxin describe Wang Xiang like this, Lin Wenxi and Gu Xi could not help smiling at each other.


    Before Lu Sisi could react, Chen Wanxin added leisurely, ¡°He is a man who gossips the whole day. Hence, everyone in the world knows things about you.¡± Then Chen Wanxin raised her eyebrows in anger. With a stern face, she pointed to Lu Sisi and reproached in a harsh voice. ¡°You don¡¯t know yet how peopleughed at you behind your back, and you don¡¯t know how shameless you are, either. Get out of here! If you were a girl who treats your rtionship with Zheng Kai seriously, I would be polite to you. But since you are such a shameless slut, then don¡¯t make a fool of yourself here!¡±


    ¡°You...!¡± Atst, Lu Sisi could not help bursting into tears. Sheined tearfully to Zheng Kai. ¡°A¡¯kai, she, she insulted me like this. But you, you said nothing.¡±


    ¡°See, now that we all know you only like Zheng Kai¡¯s body. What did the nurse say just now? Gu Xi, tell us.¡± Chen Wanxin sneered coldly.


    ¡°Aunt Nurse told us that Brother Kai should try not to speak in three days and don¡¯t breathe hard,¡± Gu Xi said while trying to hold back hisughter.


    ¡°Have you heard that? I would rather let this lovely boy take care of Zheng Kai than allow a sow like you to seduce him! Who knows whether you will sleep under Zheng Kai¡¯s crotch tonight or not! If he cannot do it from your front, you can let him try to do from behind or do it with his tongue! No one knows whether or not you will lie on Zheng Kai¡¯s chest like a puddle of mud while screaming, ¡®no, no more,¡¯ before he gets better!¡± In an increasingly high spirit, Chen Wanxin started to utter dreadful oaths. At this time, Lin Wenxi and Gu Xi felt a little sympathy for Lu Sisi, instead. ¡°What has Lu Sisi done that provoked Chen Wanxin?¡±


    ¡°Zheng Kai! Say something! I want you to say something!¡± Lu Sisi could not help screaming.


    Zheng Kai tried to mutter something through his throat, while Chen Wanxin turned around and red at him. ¡°Dare you say a single word of bullsh*t? I am now full of anger and I am wondering when I can lose my temper!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m, I¡¯m sorry,¡± Zheng Kai said with great difficulty.


    Lu Sisi pulled off the ne on her neck. She went nk for a while and threw it hard at Zheng Kai. At this time, Gu Xi suddenly cropped up from the side. Then, the ne hit in his face, and a streak of blood appeared on his face immediately.


    Lu Sisi covered her face and ran out while screaming.


    Chen Wanxinnded her eyes on Gu Xi. She could not help feeling a bit touched. ¡°If it were a dagger, I¡¯m afraid that Gu Xi would also jump out like this. The feelings Gu Xi has toward Zheng Kai... is it true...¡±


    Chen Wanxin drew Gu Xi to her side and checked his face carefully. She smiled gently. ¡°Stupid kid, the smell of rouge and powder on such a woman is usually too strong. Perhaps, the ne is poisonous. Remember to sterilize yourself when you go back.¡± She turned around and said to Zheng Kai, ¡°How many love debts are you going to owe?¡±


    Zheng Kai was slightly stunned, and gradually, the expression on his face calmed down.


    ¡°Well, kid. If someone bullies you in the future, don¡¯t only tell that to your Wenxi nor just tell that to An¡¯an or Xiaoman. Most of the time, they will only listen to you andfort you with some superficial words. But I¡¯m different, I can help you beat those little bad guys up!¡± Chen Wanxin couldn¡¯t help but pinch the flushed face of Gu Xi andughed.


    Although Gu Xi didn¡¯t like Chen Wanxin that much because of Lin Wenxi, he felt that her words cheered up his body and mind at this moment and so he nodded.

 Chapter 126 (On Your Knees!) Lin Wenxi Asked His Father for Help

    <h4>Chapter 126 (On Your Knees!) Lin Wenxi Asked His Father for Help</h4>


    Anyhow, Lin Ziwei was forced to return home by Lin Wenxi. He never thought that he had raised such an ungrateful son. Neither did he expected that he had such a wife who would act as absurdly as his son.


    His wife, Huang Xiya, gave him an emergency call. She said that Lin Wenxi asked him to go home. Otherwise, he would kill himself. Judging by the photo taken by Huang Xiya, Lin Ziwei saw that Lin Wenxi had already cut his wrist. If the de cut into a little bit deeper, Lin Wenxi might cut his aorta.


    ¡°Just let him continue to cut himself. If he is not responsible for his life, then who else can?¡± Lin Ziwei was determined to see how capable his unworthy son was! However, those uninterrupted calls from Huang Xiya greatly distracted and annoyed him. Lin Ziwei was so afraid that she would mention those sad memories again. So he had no choice but to go home in advance.


    But just when Lin Ziwei came home, Lin Wenxi immediately became well-behaved. With a look of uncertainty, Huang Xiya stared at her husband. She tried to smile but did not seed. Upon seeing that his son was safe and sound, Lin Ziwei breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he turned to look at Huang Xiya, a little angry. ¡°You also horsed around with him!¡±


    It was then that Huang Xiya covered her mouth with her hand andughed. When this naughty kiddy came home, crying and screaming, he said that he wanted to see Dad. Later, he sat in front of her dressing table and picked up the love token of them. Lin Wenxi then said while smiling. ¡°Two more dayster, it is your 18th wedding anniversary.¡±


    Huang Xiya could not think of any way to remind her busy husband of their anniversary. However, her son showed her a picture and told her what his n was. At first, Huang Xiya felt that his idea was indeed a little ridiculous. But Lin Wenxi kept bugging her all day long. He swore to her that as long as Lin Ziwei came home, he would return school and finish his following exams so as not to lose all his credits. He also said that he suddenly missed his father a lot. Lin Wenxi bothered Huang Xiya so much, and she also missed her husband a lot, so she finally chose to y such a ¡°sympathy-getting ploy¡± with her son.


    Lin Wenxi sent a picture of his arm to Zhou Nannan and asked her to help him airbrush it. At that point, Zhou Nannan wasposing an architectural drawing. Upon receiving Lin Wenxi¡¯s task, she thought about how toplete the task for a long time. Together with her roommate Wang Zhengjuan, she found many pictures which she could use to make the picture Lin Wenxi wanted. Finally, she sessfully made the almost real picture which Lin Wenxi showed to his fatherter. This picture also reminded Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman of the bloody eyes drew by Lin Wenxi during the cross-country training which still haunted them. When the group of girlsughed and yed with each other, they began to worry about Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi who had taken a long leave. Busying with their work, these girls got together, and from time to time, they would also go to the hospital and visit Zheng Kai. All of them felt relieved after they saw Chen Wanxin and Gu Xi look after Zheng Kai very well.


    During these days, Lin Wenxi was burning with anxiety. He wanted to visit Zhao Mingjiang in the hospital. But he also had to deal with exams in the school. In a hurry, Lin Wenxi took Shu Xiaoman¡¯s advice. Learning from Chen Wanxin, he also found someone to take exams for him.


    It was only that Lin Ziwei had never returned. And recently, Hong Xuan showed a strong determination. Wherever Lin Wenxi went, he would follow him together with several police officers. Hong Xuan had received a phone call to inform him that someone would attack Lin Wenxi. Therefore, he mobilized all his buddies of the old year and put almost all the police on duty. Hong Xuan had conducted several trials and investigations, and he even tried to extort confessions by using illegal punishment. However, he still could not find the leader who was behind all of this. Hong Xuan was very concerned about Lin Wenxi¡¯s safety. So privately, he left a few police behind to protect the only son of Director Lin.


    Lin Wenxi had waited for his father for a long time, but Lin Ziwei still didn¡¯t appear. Thus, he could only take such an unwise sympathy-getting ploy and even cheated Huang Xiya into doing this with him. Until he finally met Lin Ziwei, Lin Wenxi abruptly knelt down. Straightening up his neck, Lin Wenxi stubbornly asked Lin Ziwei to arrange some people to the hospital to prevent Zhao Mingjiang from being killed.


    Lin Ziwei became furious. He turned his head to look at Hong Xuan, who seemed quite calm at this time.


    ¡°I think we should let Wenxi know something. After all, it was Chen Tianjiao who had broken the promise first.¡± Hong Xuan exined, neither humble nor pushy.


    ¡°Even if he knows, what can he do? Has he figured out any solutions yet? He involved himself in first, and then, he even needs you to protect him!¡±


    On his knees, Lin Wenxi took out the anonymous note. ¡°Dad, even if Uncle Hong Xuan didn¡¯t tell me, someone still wanted me to know that.¡±


    Lin Ziwei had to drop himself into the chair. ¡°Zhao Mingjiang, he is a murderer with incontrovertible evidence of guilt. The person who attacked him was a condemned prisoner. He was sentenced to death after he gave his statement. So, there is no witness of testimony after this conspirator passed away! ording to a special permit, the prison sent guards to keep Zhao Mingjiang safe, cannot six prison guards ensure his safety?¡±


    ¡°Director Lin, there are only two guards. At first, all those six guards sent by the prison watched him all day long. Butter, they are on duty by turns, two guards a day, ¡± Hong Xuan said.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you report it earlier?¡± Lin Ziwei mmed hard on the table.


    ¡°Only after I went to the hospital did I knew this news. I had been dealing with other things before,¡± said Hong Xuan.


    ¡°Dealing with other things? It was only the thing that the bad son stayed in the countryside and was reluctant to go home! Look at you, Lin Wenxi, what can you do to help?¡± Lin Ziwei¡¯s face turned red with anger.


    ¡°Only that man can ce obstacles in our way. That is to say that he actually has already made a n,¡± Hong Xuan said.


    ¡°Disaster emanates from careless talks. So before you get any evidence, don¡¯t talk recklessly.¡± Lin Ziwei interrupted Hong Xuan.


    ¡°Dad! Please send someone there quickly! I know that it is inappropriate and not standard. But since Uncle Hong Xuan could mobilize so many people to protect me, he can also send people to protect Zhao Yuan¡¯s father!¡± Lin Wenxi begged in a trembling voice.


    Lin Ziwei wanted to say something, but finally, he just waved his hand wearily.


    ¡°Wenxi, sending some people to protect you is something private. But, sending people to guard a murderer openly will be an eye-catching public affair! Your family is not like the Chen family who can rely on a criminal gang, the situation of which is entirely unclear. However, the forces that your father relies on are his previous subordinates who are all officials of a certain status! A slight move in one part may affect the situation as a whole. If we do something inappropriate, some of our enemies might make a fuss about that. Then, not only your father¡¯s previous subordinates will all be exposed, but your father will also experience a great crisis. Do you know the seriousness of this matter?¡± Hong Xuan could not help exining.


    ¡°Why do you tell him those things?¡± Lin Ziwei squeezed his fist.


    ¡°Dad, there must be a way, right? You can regard Uncle Zhao as me. To protect me, you can let Uncle Hong Xuan use the police force, so there must be something you can do to help Uncle Zhao, am I right? I don¡¯t want Uncle Hong Xuan and the guards to follow me. Send them all to Uncle Zhao, is that all right? Uncle Zhao is innocent. And Zhao Yuan, he, he is very pitiful!¡± Lin Wenxi moved forward on his knees. Tears streaming down from his checks, he kept shaking Lin Ziwei¡¯s legs.


    ¡°Wenxi, don¡¯t associate with Zhao Yuan anymore. Zhao Yuan, in fact, Zhao Yuan is not a good person.¡± Huang Xiya could not help frowning and sighing.


    ¡°If he is not a good person, then who else can be a good person? Mom, don¡¯t stab in my heart again! A Yuan and I, we are just like brothers. He is my flesh and blood. He is my only brother in my life...¡± Lin Wenxi said tearfully.


    ¡°Stay there on your knees!¡± With this, Lin Ziwei walked out into the darkness with his briefcase. And he said, ¡°Hong Xuan, keep an eye on him.¡±


    Not long after Lin Ziwei went out, someone knocked at the door. Hong Xuan looked through the peephole and found that it was Zhao Yuan.

 Chapter 127 (Wenxi, Go Back) I Only Feel Safe with You at My Side

    <h4>Chapter 127 (Wenxi, Go Back) I Only Feel Safe with You at My Side</h4>


    Seemingly realizing something, Lin Wenxi rushed to the door and opened it.


    As soon as Zhao Yuan came in and saw Huang Xiya, he flopped on his knees and gave her a loud kowtow.


    ¡°Yuan, get up. There will be a way out. We are going to work this out.¡± Lin Wenxi rushed to hug Zhao Yuan, crying heart-wrenchingly.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, we have tried every possible means that we can think of. Uncle Lin¡¯s ability is also limited.¡± Huang Xiya looked very unhappy. She really wanted to roar at the boy in front of her, but she was not hardhearted enough to do that.


    Kneeling on the ground, Zhao Yuan just would not get up.


    Today, Zheng Zihuan told him very seriously that no matter what, he should get help from Lin Wenxi¡¯s family.


    ¡°Even if you will be humiliated, even if you have to bow and scrape, you should ask Director Lin to take up the matter!¡± Zheng Zihuan said, ¡°They attacked Lin Wenxi because they knew that he had brought so many students to guard your father, which indicates that our enemies have been around us all the time and they are going to make their move soon! Do you understand?¡±


    Zhao Yuan certainly understood. However, when Lin Ziwei told him in person that he would try his best to figure out a way, but his ability was limited, Zhao Yuan could also understand that. Zhao Yuan didn¡¯t want to constrain Lin Wenxi to do things that were beyond his power, nor did Zhao Yuan want to implicate Lin Wenxi. After Lin Wenxi was attacked, Zhao Yuan became so painful that he nearly rip his hair out. But now his father was on the verge of death. Zhao Yuan knew it clearly that enemies had been lurking around his father, so he had no choice but toe to Lin Wenxi¡¯s home.


    On its rough trip back to Yangzi County, the car stopped and went. Everything on the way went against Zhao Yuan. It seemed as if some crises would strike him. At the time Zhao Yuan arrived at Yangzi County, the sky looked horribly gloomy with those low-lying dark clouds. Zhao Yuan could hear faint thunder roars from behind the clouds. The first heavy rain this winter was about to begin. Burning with anxiety, Zhao Yuan came trembling to the Lin family.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, go away! Don¡¯t keep close touch with Wenxi, please! My son also needs to stay alive!¡± Huang Xiya could not help crying. She covered her face with her hands, tears slipping out between her fingers.


    ¡°Did my son owe you something in his previous life? He exceeded his authority to raise money for you. Because of that, he was punished and was sent to teach at a remote and poor area. In the end, he became a bag of bones! And it was also because of you that some people attacked and almost kidnapped him! He had been living in a quiet and steady life. How could he meet you at Jifu University who then pulled him in such a whirlpool-like situation?¡± Huang Xiya poured out her heart, honestly.


    ¡°Mom! I beg you to shut up, okay?¡± Lin Wenxi stood up abruptly and snarled at Huang Xiya.


    ¡°Did you ask me to shut up? Do you know that the exchange student was dead?¡± asked Huang Xiya sharply.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t they say that there was something wrong such that the student could not join the exchange program?¡± Lin Wenxi was shocked and turned to ask Hong Xuan.


    ¡°He is dead. He walked into a dark alley for no reason and was scared by someone, which led to sudden heart failure. For now, we cannot find any other reasons. So we cannot tell whether it is a coincidence or a murder deliberately done by someone,¡± said Hong Xuan.


    ¡°Is he dead?¡± Zhao Yuan looked up at Huang Xiya, and then looked at Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°You only told Zhao Yuan the thing that you are going to be an exchange student, did you?¡± Huang Xiya asked Lin Wenxi. But Lin Wenxi turned around without replying.


    ¡°I am asking you, Zhao Yuan. Did you tell the thing to Chen Wanxin only?¡± Huang Xiya shot her question at Zhao Yuan, sharply.


    After a long silence, Zhao Yuan said with difficulty, ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°You still have a sense of responsibility that you dared to admit it!¡± Huang Xiya smiled coldly. ¡°A fine life is lost. Very good, perfect!¡±


    ¡°So, was it Wanxin who helped me to go back to Jifu University? Did she ask you to be her boyfriend in exchange?¡± Lin Wenxi whispered his questions.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Zhao Yuan replied.


    ¡°It¡¯s a coincidence, a coincidence...¡± Lin Wenxi fell down. He had never thought that Zhao Yuan tried so hard to find a solution only because he didn¡¯t want to leave. And the person Zhao Yuan happened to ask for help was Chen Wanxin. However, it never urred to Lin Wenxi that they would kill someone indirectly. He and Zhao Yuan had all be aplices. Lin Wenxi found it was quite hard to believe that.


    ¡°How can there be so many coincidences? A person¡¯s life! Do you know how vicious can the Chen family act? And how innocent Wenxi is? Ziwei, Hong Xuan, and I dared not to say that to Wenxi, only because we fear that Wenxi cannot bear the burden. He cannot bear the burden!¡± Painfully looking at her only son, Huang Xiya burst into tears.


    ¡°Last time I came... Why didn¡¯t you tell me? Otherwise...¡± Zhao Yuan looked at Lin Wenxi, who seemed quite painful at this moment.


    ¡°Chen Wanxin is only your nominal girlfriend. And you never know her background. So you would certainly turn to her for help. Besides, there is no evidence to prove that the exchange student was murdered. Nor is there any evidence to show that the Chen family murdered the student. To keep you from bearing too much burden, your father doesn¡¯t want to say too much to you. No evidence means no existence. You don¡¯t need to think too much. And Wenxi, so do you!¡± Hong Xuan said calmly with his eyes looking at Huang Xiya.


    Huang Xiya quivered all in a sudden. In pain, she even pinned such a big sin on his son. ¡°Yes, there is no evidence. I, I spoke without thinking just now. But... Zhao Yuan, you should not be with my son anymore. It is my final piece of advice to you.¡±


    ¡°You can go now. As long as you stop hanging out with Wenxi all the time, I promise you that I will ask Ziwei to find a solution as soon as possible!¡± said Huang Xiya solemnly.


    Zhao Yuan only felt as if a chain of gold was hanging around his neck. However, he had to nod with great difficulty when this matter had reached this stage.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t agree!¡± Lin Wenxi stood up and protested. ¡°Mom, you should take a break first. You are confused by now. Hasn¡¯t Dad figured out a way and sent some people to guard Uncle Zhao? Making a deal at this time, do you really want to entrap my father in immorality?¡±


    Huang Xiya mulled her son¡¯s words over and could not help feeling a moment of panic. In a hurry, she held on to the arms of the chair and saw Lin Wenxi walking out together with Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Wenxi, you stay to apany your mother. As for my affairs, I will try to find a solution,¡± Zhao Yuan said softly. He knew that although he did not meet the requirements of the Mo family, the Mo family must have had such an ability to wipe out injustice for his father. Because they had promised him that they would help him with that if he won the match. Zhao Yuan was going to find the Mo family. At this moment, he would not hesitate to do anything that the Mo family might make him do.


    ¡°Your problem is mine and also my family¡¯s problem.¡± Lin Wenxi hugged Zhao Yuan gently, and then he held Zhao Yuan in his arms. ¡°Trust me, okay?¡±


    Zhao Yuan shook his head. ¡°I have brought you too much trouble.¡±


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, the most regrettable moment in my life is the night of that Tanabata. The happiest moment in my life is the day that I stayed in the countryside with you. Although only a short day, I have thought about it many times. The life of that day is the kind of life I truly want to live.¡± Lin Wenxi embraced Zhao Yuan. He rested his head in Zhao Yuan¡¯s chest and would not let go.


    ¡°Son, where are you going?¡± asked Huang Xiya.


    ¡°Me? Didn¡¯t dad think of a solution long ago? I am going to Uncle Zhao¡¯s ce. Now that Hong Xuan follows me wherever I go with the guards to protect me. When I am there, they will protect Uncle Zhao and me, won¡¯t they?¡± Lin Wenxi smiled at Huang Xiya brilliantly.


    Hong Xuan¡¯s heart suddenly missed a beat. ¡°Lin Wenxi wants to cut off all means of retreat to make us protect Zhang Mingjiang. How could hee up with such an idea? But Wenxi, this is simply a suicide! It is already a fact that someone wille to kill Zhao Mingjiang. Brother Wei won¡¯t allow Lin Wenxi to put himself in such a dangerous situation!¡±


    ¡°Wenxi,e back!¡± Huang Xiya leaned against the door, but she did not have the strength to go on. ¡°Wenxi, youe back!¡±


    Huang Xiya¡¯s voice sounded particrly harsh in the dull night.


    ¡°Uncle Hong Xuan, won¡¯t you stop me, too? But this is my father¡¯s decision,¡± Lin Wenxi said while smiling. ¡°I believe that you will protect me like a father protecting his son, whenever and wherever, will you?¡±


    Hong Xuan nodded silently.


    ¡°Wenxi, go back.¡± Zhao Yuan stood still.


    ¡°I only feel safe with you at my side.¡± Lin Wenxi held Zhao Yuan¡¯s hand and slowly walked forward. As for Zhao Yuan, his face was covered with tears already.


    The lightning shed across that lightened Lin Wenxi¡¯s face, and a sudden thunder sounded. Usually, Lin Wenxi had a gentle and quiet face. However, at this moment, he became so determined that his expression looked as firm as the steel.

 Chapter 128 (Is Life Always This Hard) Zhao Mingjiang Died with Hatred

    <h4>Chapter 128 (Is Life Always This Hard) Zhao Mingjiang Died with Hatred</h4>


    The night was getting deeper and deeper. A gust of cloudy wind beat against the car windows which consequently rustled. Rainstorm would ur before the thunder. Two police cars rushed to the hospital in the dark.


    As soon as he arrived downstairs, a sudden ringing of his mobile phone rang. Zhao Yuan suddenly hit a nerve. He looked at the name of Zheng Zihuan on his mobile phone. A burst of uncertainty surged in his heart. He stared at the screen and dared not answer the phone.


    Lin Wenxi took his cell phone and answered. He looked at Zhao Yuan nkly and his tears rushed down. When Hong Xuan saw the situation, he took several policemen to find the security guards of the hospital and immediately blocked the scene.


    Zhao Yuan numbly took over the mobile phone. Inside it was Zheng Zihuan¡¯s desperate voice calling, ¡°He¡¯s gone. Mingjiang, is gone...¡±


    What awaited Zhao Yuan was a death notice and a cold body. When Zhao Yuan left a few hours ago, he still held the hand of the body, which was still warm.


    ¡°Was he peaceful when he has gone?¡± Zhao Yuan stared straight at one of the nurses with no tears in his eyes.


    ¡°He was quiet and painless.¡± The nurse looked at the child with pity, who got up early early and sleptte to apany his own father.


    ¡°We sometimes wish you a good sleep.¡± The nurse added when she left in tears.


    Lin Wenxi stood beside Zhao Yuan with a dull look. When Zhao Mingjiang woke up, he took his hand with all his strength. He knew that Zhao Mingjiang had a lot to say, but he could not. All the warmth in his hands had not yet dissipated.


    Zheng Zihuan had fainted. Several doctors were carrying out temporary rescue not far away. A cart rushed over and transported Zheng Zihuan to the operating room. Everything seemed in chaos.


    The police quickly intervened, isting the crowd, busily collecting fingerprints, shoe prints, and the forensic doctors kept making analysis notes.


    ¡°The cause of death is unknown, but it should be rted to the pipe that was unplugged.¡±


    ¡°What is this?¡± There are white spots on the rubber of the nozzle, like something hard hitting.


    ¡°There were only the footprints of the caregivers. There is no sign of forcible entrance to the door and of the struggling before the deceased¡¯s death.¡±


    ¡°The line has dropped. Why didn¡¯t there be a buzzing rm?¡±


    ¡°To get the surveince video.¡±


    Everybody was busy inside. Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan sat side by side. After a while, Hong Xuan came over and gently patted Zhao Yuan on the shoulder. ¡°Restrain your grief.¡±


    ¡°Was no one found...¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°There is no trace at all.¡± Hong Xuan sighed. He shook his head and dialed a number.


    It was not until Zheng Zihuan stumbled out of the ward that Zhao Yuan got up to help him sit down. They were taken to the police for questioning and recording.


    Zheng Zihuan was in a very good state of mind at night. Unexpectedly he suddenly lost consciousness and sank into oblivion. When he woke up again, he found the red pipe connecting Zhao Mingjiang¡¯s lifeline was pulled out and held tightly in Zhao Mingjiang¡¯s hand. Zhao Mingjiang¡¯s face was calm as if he had fallen asleep. In Zheng Zihuan¡¯s panic call, all the nurses and doctors rushed to transport Zhao Mingjiang and rescued him. At about 3 a.m., they dered the rescue ineffective and that he was dead.


    ¡°When I¡¯m not awake, it seemed like... It seemed that a pair of hands poked through the door...¡±


    ¡°What did you do before you fainted?¡±


    ¡°I drank a ss of water.¡±


    ¡°Where was the water from?¡±


    ...


    In the ongoing investigation of the case, Zheng Zihuan was unable to cooperate. He seemed to have lost his soul and became a little dementia. In the face of the next police inquiries, he gave the irrelevant answers.


    Zhao Yuan rested Zheng Zihuan in bed and began to deal with his father¡¯s affairs with Liu Lanhua, who was also informed ofing over. At hometown, he had to deal with the cancetion of the household registration and other matters, and needed to issue a notice to the corresponding rtives, and eventually, the body will go back to his home to make peace, all of which need to be handled by him. Zhao Yuan asked him to go home first. Everything left could only be his own.


    Supporting his disintegrated spirit, Zhao Yuan signed his opinion on the disposal of the body, and received many investigations and inquiries from the police. Finally, he signed the letter of consent to forensic anatomy solemnly.


    ¡°Everything is fine, Brother Yun. Don¡¯t drive me away. I just want to apany you.¡± Lin Wenxi leant on Zhao Yuan¡¯s shoulder.


    Silent.


    Zhao Yuan went to the morgue. He hadn¡¯t said goodbye to his father yet.


    Zheng Zihuan sat silently at the entrance of the morgue with a haggard look and a little beard. He saw Lin Wenxi, and nodded slightly, which was a greeting.


    When the door of the morgue opened, Zheng Zihuan quickly turned around to run in and sat under one of the freezers.


    ¡°This man is really... If I don¡¯t think that he is poor, I would have called the security to blow him away! When he came in, he would run to the cab, and ask me to open the cab. What do you think happened to this man? Is he crazy? It¡¯s not an emergency cremation or a police autopsy...¡± The guardian seemed to be frightened to have a lingering fear and kept on nagging.


    Zhao Yuan smiled apologetically and led Lin Wenxi¡¯s hand into the cold morgue.


    Zhao Yuan quietly watched his father who slept peacefully. In his life, the man who was blood connected with him had never slept so quietly. Zhao Yuan remembered that his father had been busy all the time for himself and his iplete family. He only slept for four or five hours all night, under the deskmp and streetmp all night. During his inadequate sleep time, he often called his wife¡¯s name ¡°Xuehua... ¡°.


    Zhao Yuan remembered that he once persuaded his father to take care of his health, but his father said, ¡°Why should we sleep long before we die? We could sleep long after we die.¡±


    Nowadays, this quiet and peaceful father was gone, with endless grievances and resentment. He must have missed his unknown mother in his lifetime. He must have missed himself in his lifetime, as well as the story of Wenxi that he once told him over and over again. How could he sleep for a long time?


    ¡°Your son was not filial! Why did I not apany here without leaving for an inch? Why did I seek help to kneel for others! Zhao Yuan knelt down and felt that the blood in his body was frozen and could not feel any joy, anger and sorrow.


    Zhao Yuan remembered what a girl said in a movie, and he also asked himself, ¡°Is life always this hard, or is just when you¡¯re a kid?¡±


    Right, always like this.


    ¡°Join the Mo Shi, and you will be rich and powerful, live in the shadow of the city, curse this disgusting bustling world!¡± a voice said to Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°The world is so cruel, why bother to be sentimental?¡±


    The shadows around him knelt down together with hands tightly clutching the freezer, and tears dropping to the ground. ¡°His pain was no less than mine. I could feel that his heart was hot.¡±


    ¡°Maybe he is thest tenderness of my life.¡±

 Chapter 129 (Let’s Go to Find Him) As Bitter Cold Was Approaching, Heavy Snow Blocked the Mountain

    <h4>Chapter 129 (Let¡¯s Go to Find Him) As Bitter Cold Was Approaching, Heavy Snow Blocked the Mountain</h4>


    With the calmness of Zhao Yuan, Zheng Zihuan was tearful, and they three stayed up for the whole night.


    A dayter, the police gave the further confirmation and registered it as a murder case.


    At present, only the view of one¡¯s back in the video could be used as a breakthrough point.


    The police carefully told them all the investigations¡ªthere was nothing else in the ward except the usual caregiver¡¯s fingerprints and shoe prints. The buzzing rm had been cut off earlier, and the red detoxification tube, which had been tightly connected, was loosened in advance. There was a white spot at the interface. Something hard caused the detoxification tube to fall down and the hard object was a stone. Combined with Zheng Zihuan¡¯s recollection, it should be someone who used auncher like a slingshot. The hospital¡¯s video was nk for three hours because of a sudden power failure in the surveince room, which temporarily was an ident. But after the power supply was restored, a strange man¡¯s back appeared in the corner of the corridor, but the man¡¯s face was not photographed.


    There was a veryrge dose of sleeping drugs in Zheng Zihuan¡¯s drinking water. If he drank all, it was also very likely for him to die.


    After the police finished, they showed the remaining video to the three. Through the only 10-second video, they saw a man wearing a sport cap, and they could not tell how old he was. He rushed out of the safe passage, where there was no camera.


    ¡°He is somehow like... Zhang Dong.¡± Lin Wenxi could not help but shout out.


    The reminder notes were like the slingshot hit Lin Wenxi. Zhang Dong visited once. Zhang Dong appeared twice. Zhao Yuan¡¯s father died. Eventually, the handwriting of the note was identified as Zhang Dong¡¯s. If he was the murderer, why should he remind him? If he was not the murderer, why did the evidence that appeared point to him?


    Zhang Dong, the note, and the slingshot¡ªMo Shi, Zhao Yuan¡¯s heart was cold.


    ¡°When can we bury Mingjiang?¡± Zheng Zihuan asked.


    ¡°The specific cause of death has yet to be ascertained. The video still needs to be analyzed, and the autopsy of the deceased will take time. I estimate that it will take at least half a month. It is difficult to get through this year.¡± The person in charge gave a sad smile.


    ¡°Why did it take so long?¡± Zheng Zihuan asked excitedly.


    ¡°There are many criminal cases, and we can¡¯t look into this case so quickly if no one cares about it,¡± the policeman said and nced at Lin Wenxi.


    Zhao Yuan nodded gratefully and said to Zheng Zihuan, ¡°Uncle Zheng, you should go back to rest soon. My father has gone. You can¡¯t ruin your body because of him. You haven¡¯t eaten for three days. Aunt is waiting for you at home. Besides, Brother Kai¡¯s injury may not be healed yet.¡±


    ¡°When you will cremate him, I¡¯ll see him off.¡± Zheng Zihuan did not reluctantly stay here. In addition to repeatedly seeing Zhao Mingjiang sleeping peacefully in bed but losing his bloody face, more was to recall everything before. He felt guilty when he saw that Zhao Yuan could forcibly resist grief these days and deal with all the matters in good order, but he was really incapable of helping anything. On the contrary, he needed the two children to take care of himself distractedly, so he really felt guilty.


    ¡°Before cremation, be sure to tell me because I don¡¯t want to see him in a jar when Ie.¡± Zheng Zihuan repeatedly asked Zhao Yuan to promise, and Zhao Yuan solemnly agreed.


    ¡°It¡¯s an eventful year.¡± Shu Xiaoman and Gu Xi sat in pairs, idly turning over the fortune-telling book, and Zhang An¡¯an was lying quietly with the book in hand.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that I am the only one in Dormitory 419 now.¡±


    ¡°I also didn¡¯t expect that I am the only one in Dormitory 216 now.¡±


    The two face to faceughed bitterly.


    Wang Zhengjuan speeded up on the highway, and it was said that she killed someone. Zhou Nannan went to assist in the investigation. Zhou Nannan was the youngest in her dormitory, and her mind is the purest. Everyone treated her as a sister, and they never thought that she would cry for someone else. Shu Xiaoman had no alternative but to take care of her from time to time.


    What worried Shu Xiaoman most was about Zhao Yuan¡¯s family, but Lin Wenxi refused to reveal anything. Shu Xiaoman recently worried about her roommate. Seeing Lin Wenxi refused to say anything intimate to herself, she couldn¡¯t help remembering what happened in the hospital that day. Suddenly, she felt bitter in her heart and then left with red eyes.


    ¡°Fortunately, in the hospital, you could eat a ready-cooked meal, and walk a hundred steps after the meal. This time, you could experience the taste as a mother. Would you like to make a quilt, or a pillow?¡±Shu Xiaoman couldn¡¯t help teasing Gu Xi.


    ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. As soon as Sister Wanxin knew that Zhao Yuan¡¯s father had an ident, she lost the jujube soup that she hadn¡¯t finished feeding, and ran away without a shadow. Guess what Zheng Kai would do?¡± Gu Xi asked, pouting his mouth.


    ¡°He would be distressed,¡± Shu Xiaoman said.


    Zhang An¡¯an put down the book and smiled lightly. ¡°He would be full of blood.¡±


    Gu Xi widened his eyes and said, ¡°How do you know everything?¡±


    ¡°Dead?¡± Chen Wanxin had a hard time getting in touch with Zhao Yuan at that time. When she learned something from the phone, she took her bag and ran away before she could do more tidying up. Gu Xi saw Zheng Kai, who had been lying in bed for many days and was still breathless, immediately pulled out the saltwater, jumped up, and ran out in his sick clothes. Gu Xi, who had been brimming with energy, was so frightened and shocked.


    ¡°Who did you say died?¡± Zhang An¡¯an asked.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan¡¯s father,¡± Gu Xi whispered.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell us earlier?¡± Shu Xiaoman asked nervously.


    ¡°What¡¯s the use of telling that? Some went home, some followed and some apanied, which were in chaos. What¡¯s more, the holiday was approaching,¡± Gu Xi said.


    The three were gloomy at the same time.


    The first snow of the harsh winter buried all the disturbances in the mud.


    The dormitory building was empty. At the dormitory building in the evening, the empty and dark corridor made people unable to see that there had beenughter here. Lin Wenxi was sitting quietly in the middle of the corridor, holding out his hand, feeling the cold wind in the hall silently and twining on his fingers. At the fingertips, when the wind turned, he cried over there, where Zhao Yuan once made himugh. There, Zhao Yuan stood at the door with hot strawberry juice, smiling. There, Zhao Yuan held a book, carefully exined the main points of the book with himself. No, not only here. Lin Wenxi ran downstairs, running in the campus. The flying snowkes prated into his neck, but he was unaware of that.


    In the green field of the yground, the grass was withered and the memory was cold. The bright sunshine of Mid-Autumn was cover by cold stars. Someone had no choice but to brave the hot sun instead of punishing himself. Someone was smart enough to apany himself into the military sports team in the yellow sand all over the sky. Those bright days, those nights with resonant songs, were gone. All the past was turned into the smudge under the snow. The youngsters would not be seen when the stars were all over the sky, they pointed to the stars and said that they would be brothers for a lifetime.


    ¡°Wenxi, you are finally back.¡± Someone was talking behind him, and in the empty yground, the voice was very loud.


    Lin Wenxi turned around in a hurry and saw Gu Xi, with both sadness and happiness. ¡°Why haven¡¯t you returned home yet? Didn¡¯t the vacation begin earlier?¡±


    ¡°I am waiting for you toe back,¡± Gu Xi faintly said, blowing a puff into ice.


    ¡°An¡¯an said that you woulde back. It¡¯s so cold in winter and your winter clothes are all in the dormitory. You would help Zhao Yuan take his even if you don¡¯t take your own clothes, right?¡±


    The reason why Lin Wenxi who went back to school was to help Zhao Yuan get his winter clothes.


    When he found Zhao Yuan in the countryside, Zhao Yuan was helping with the farm work of the end of the year in his hometown. In the winter of minus four or five degrees, there was no heating or air conditioning. Zhao Yuan only wore a coat and an underwear.


    ¡°The child is a little silly.¡± Wang Damiao could not help sighing, and greeted with Lin Wenxi, sitting in the corner of the house, beside the stove which was used by the countryside farmers used to warm. In this farmyard, there was no clothing suitable for Zhao Yuan¡¯s size, only an old imitation army coat worn by Wang Damiao, and Zhao Yuan refused to wear it.


    ¡°He would rather sleep in the firewood room than in the room. How can I face my brother-inw in case of any misfortune?¡± Liu Lanhua tried to weep. Even she couldn¡¯t let Zhao Yuan obey her anymore.


    Zhao Yuan was very busy every day. He helped Liu Lanhua to do all the housework and farm work until he was exhausted. Lin Wenxi slept with him in the firewood room. It was like spending two days in an ice cer, without any words or expressions between them.


    Lin Wenxi knew that Zhao Yuan became an orphan.


    ¡°Only he can cure himself,¡± Gu Xi said, ¡°I don¡¯t know how long the snow willst.¡±


    ¡°The snow in the heart needs blood to melt,¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    The snow grew heavier and heavier and it suddenly grew heavy, blurring the figures of the two, like the storytelling book quietly closed. The title page of the book was full of fallen leaves of ne trees, gradually piled up into graves.


    They wanted to leave separately, but they saw that the whole world was covered with snow. The uneven school trees became a continuous rolling silver grasnd. Gu Xi rushed excitedly into the snow. The school had never been so quiet. In the world of only two people, he felt like he had a pair of wings and could gallop and fly at will.


    ¡°Look, kid, the snow blocked the mountain.¡± Lin Wenxi looked anxiously at the slowly fading snowkes. Gu Xi did not believe that, so they arrived at the passenger station with a glimmer of hope. As a matter of fact, all the buses stopped operating.


    Lin Wenxi and Gu Xi crowded in a quilt and watched the news on the inte. Only then did they know about the snow disaster in the south. Hundreds of thousands of people were blocked in the railway station of the most prosperous city in the South and did not know the date of their return. Nine expressways of important provinces in Central China had been closed. Airport flights had been dyed and grounded, resulting in heavy economic losses.


    The snow disaster was so serious that he didn¡¯t know which school his father visited. His mother was at home alone. Lin Wenxi bowed his head. He didn¡¯t listen to Gu Xi sighing beside him about the handsome migrant workers returning home by motorcycle.


    Lin Wenxi ran out of his house with a negative spirit. He pointed to Lin Ziwei¡¯s nose and cried out, ¡°You could override to call the police to protect Zhao Mingjiang earlier. You abided by the rules and did not go beyond the prescribed limit! Why can you let Uncle Hong Xuan protect me, but for the sake of face, you can disregard anyone¡¯s life!¡±


    Huang Xiya was about to chase Lin Wenxi out. Lin Ziwei shouted, ¡°Leave him alone!¡±


    Hong Xuan knew that Lin Ziwei went out in the thunderstorm that night. In fact, he went to visit his old friends in the city. Unexpectedly, those people acted so fast that at that night, the killing had started and everything was toote.


    ¡°What do you think about Zhao Yuan?¡± Lin Wenxi asked Gu Xi.


    ¡°He was supposed to be shoveling snow,¡± Gu Xi said.


    ¡°How can we go back?¡± Lin Wenxi seemed to be talking to himself.


    Gu Xi was silent. If the snow did not stop, the road would be impossible to pass.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go to find him,¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°Who?¡±


    ¡°Yun Che.¡±


    Lin Wenxi remembered that Yun Che had a motorcycle, which looked cool and awesome. He also remembered that Yun Che didn¡¯t n to go home this year for the Spring Festival but took Zhu Ziping¡¯s parents back to the town.


    ¡°You haven¡¯t been here for a long time, Brother Wenxi.¡± Yun Che was holding Lin Wenxi¡¯s shoulder affectionately. ¡°And you, cute Gu Xi!¡±


    Lin Wenxi and Gu Xi just sat down and exchanged greetings for a moment. They came out together and pushed Yun Che¡¯s motorcycle when they went out.


    ¡°Che, Wenxi does not seem to be able to drive a motorcycle. Did you ask him?¡± Zhu Ziping asked worriedly in the inner room.


    ¡°Oh, I forgot, the oil is not full!¡± Yun Che said, and chased out, but there was no figure of Lin Wenxi outside the piano shop.

 Chapter 130 (Zhao Yuan…) Latecomer in the Heavy Snow

    <h4>Chapter 130 (Zhao Yuan...) Later in the Heavy Snow</h4>


    On the snowfield of the suburbs.


    ¡°Wenxi, I think falling like this could only result in the death in a foreign town!¡± Gu Xiy on the ground, and somehow could not move. This was the sixth or seventh time that he had fallen into the snow with Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°You have to follow me. What can I do?¡± Lin Wenxi pout his lips and said.


    ¡°I thought you have learned something from Zhao Yuan!¡± Gu Xi said discontentedly, patting the snow foam on his heavy backpack.


    ¡°Oh, he sprained his leg that time. Acatually, it was me that hit him,¡± Lin Wenxi leisurely lit a cigarette, and said.


    ¡°When did you learn to smoke again?!¡± Gu Xi asked in surprise.


    ¡°Last year¡¯s New Year.¡± Lin Wenxiughed. ¡°Otherwise, you can go back to school.¡±


    ¡°No! Anyway, I only hope to die on the same day of the same month in the same year! ¡°Gu Xi said stubbornly.


    ¡°Haha! Why bury your bones in the hometown? There are green hills everywhere in your life! Enjoy this trip!¡± Lin Wenxi boldly jumped on the motorcycle, stepped on it, and helped Gu Xi wear his helmet and tie his belt.


    ¡°When Zhao Yuan took you by bike, did he do the same thing?¡± Gu Xi asked.


    ¡°He? Hey... You know why he wanted to teach me to ride a motorcycle?¡± Lin Wenxi said with a smile.


    ¡°He did it to let me drive him, and he could sit behind me. He said that was the normal position! You know what¡¯s on this man¡¯s mind, don¡¯t you?¡± Lin Wenxi twisted his engine and frowned slightly. He heard Gu Xi muttering ¡°Really Happy!¡± With augh, the motorcycle pedaled away, leaving deep and shallow rut in the snow.


    They fell from afternoon to dusk, from dusk to night, watched the journey by shlight, and they only walked less than half way.


    ¡°Would you like Uncle Hong Xuan to pick you up?¡± Gu Xi couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Let him live a happy New Year!¡± Atst, Lin Wenxi had some experience from falling and drove steadily along the way. With the snowstorms along the way, Lin Wenxi¡¯s whole body had been soaked and shivered in a burst of cold.


    ¡°Wenxi, what do you say if there¡¯s no oil on the way?¡± Gu Xi asked timidly.


    ¡°I¡¯ll tear you the doomsayer¡¯s mouth first!¡± Lin Wenxiughed and said. They started the engine again. After a while, they just felt that the car was going slower and slower. Then it fluctuated up and down and made a sudden sound. Then it cut off with great dissatisfaction and went on strike.


    ¡°Gu Xi!!!¡± In the snowfield where there was no vige in front and no shop in back, the sound of Lin Wenxi¡¯s madness resounded.


    They pushed the motorcycle under the tree and stared at each other.


    ¡°Do you think we will freeze to death tonight?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°Call the police or the firefighter? We can also see handsome fire police in orange clothes and shiny reflective bands. Handsome!¡± On the contrary, Gu Xi seemed a little excited.


    ¡°Then when Zheng Kai appeared, all the handsome men became clouds,¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°Zheng Kai is also a cloud,¡± Gu Xi said.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°I will never like a straight guy again! Now I don¡¯t believe the saying of ¡®making him a gay¡¯. Something is brought from the blood and doomed to be useless,¡± Gu Xi said with a smile.


    ¡°So you let him go? I don¡¯t believe it.¡± Lin Wenxi pouted his mouth.


    ¡°If there were any possibility, I would not give up. Now, I would only wish him well.¡± Gu Xiughed naughtily.


    Lin Wenxi was half beliving. ¡°Give me your mobile phone.¡±


    ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡°My mobile phone should be left in the dormitory.¡±


    ¡°Mine should also be left in the dormitory.¡±


    ¡°Gu Xi, you are a...!¡±


    ¡°Lin Wenxi, you are just a...!¡±


    Lin Wenxi pushed the motorcycle in frustration and walked in the snow side by side with Gu Xi. The snow was still flying, but there was no time to appreciate its romance. Here, if they could meet someone on the road, perhaps they could find a ce to settle down. If you couldn¡¯t, however, Lin Wenxi and Gu Xi smiled at each other.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think you¡¯re actually afraid,¡± Gu Xi said.


    ¡°Umm.¡± Lin Wenxi nodded.


    ¡°Because there¡¯s someone in the world who never makes you afraid again, right?¡± Gu Xi blinked his eyes and asked.


    ¡°Yes, there is such a person. I do not know when to start, as long as he is in the world, I never feel lonely, and I feel that anything is trivial, as long as I know that he is right there.¡± Lin Wenxi smiled and stamped his foot.


    Without knowing how long after that, Gu Xi suddenly said, ¡°Wenxi, let¡¯s throw the motorcycle here and walk faster...¡±


    ¡°No, once you borrow, you must return it back.¡±


    Before long, Gu Xi said, ¡°Wenxi, I feel numb all over.¡±


    Lin Wenxi let Gu Xi sit on the motorcycle and pushed the car all the time. After that, he was numb enough to feel not cold. He just pushed the car along, as if this was the way to prove that he was alive. He only hoped that the Venus would rise again and the dark sky would shine soon. The torch shone for so long and the light became weaker and weaker. If the torch also cut off... Lin Wenxi had been numb and unable to think any more.


    It was like the Venus rising on the horizon, and it was like a meteorite crossing the horizon. Why was it so loud? The sudden noise of the motorcycle shed in front of him, and Lin Wenxi stood still and watched a man with a helmeting towards him. Now if he pulled out a dagger, he could do nothing about it.


    ¡°Wenxi.¡± Who is this? How do you know me? Wait, why is this sound so familiar?


    With the motorcycle helmet removed, a familiar face appeared in his eyes, but also he put on thick clothes. Without saying anything, Lin Wenxi threw himself on the man. ¡°Do you know wear thick clothes now? Did you know that?¡± Lin Wenxi asked aloud.


    Zhao Yuan did not speak. He pointed to what behind Lin Wenxi. The motorcycle fell to the ground and Gu Xi fell on the ground looking at them with a grievance.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan...¡± Gu Xi could not help crying and rushed over. For a moment, they both hugged Zhao Yuan like children, one crying and the otherining.


    ¡°How could youe here?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°Yun Che called me in time.¡± Zhao Yuan added, ¡°When can you change your sudden hyperthyroidism?¡± Only once did you ride a motorcycle and you hurt me. You should dare to drive more than 300 kilometers of snowy road with Gu Xi? If you fall into a pit, what about Gu Xi?¡±


    Gu Xi barked, ¡°Bowwow...¡±


    Lin Wenxi smiled and touched Gu Xi¡¯s head. Gu Xi said to himself, ¡°I like your PDA.¡±


    The three agreed that Zhao Yuan was carrying Gu Xi, and with the chains prepared by Zhao Yuan to drag Yun Che¡¯s motorcycle. Lin Wenxi rode Yun Che¡¯s motor to control the direction and went back together. Gu Xi sat behind Zhao Yuan and kept turning his back to make face to Lin Wenxi. ¡°I am in the back. Is it a perfect posture?¡±


    When Zhao Yuan heard this, he held Gu Xi up with his backhand and stuffed him in front of him. He asked, ¡°Is the perfect posture?¡±


    ¡°Stop saying. Wenxi is crying.¡± Gu Xiughed naughtily, rubbing his way to Zhao Yuan¡¯s chest. He felt warm all over, without bitter cold and helplessness just now. He was still thinking, if only it were Zheng Kai, how good it would be.

    <h4>Chapter 142 (Do Not Mix Personal Feelings in It) Flying Home-returning Birds Due to Deeply Love</h4>


    ¡°Wenxi, I¡¯m here to thank you.¡± Near the pool on campus, Zhou Nannan smiled. The early spring breeze brushed her cheeks. She was beautiful and lovely, and had a baby face and a pair of dimples.


    ¡°It¡¯s no big deal. I¡¯m just doing my best,¡± Lin Wenxi said tly.


    ¡°Juanjuan... She can¡¯t say anything grateful. She made a mistake and was very regretful, but it was her grandmother that threatened her to leave me with her life. She was in a hurry and ate something bad. And she drove on the road to vent her anger, otherwise it won¡¯t be like this...¡± Zhou Nannan said with tears.


    ¡°How to deal with it?¡± Lin Wenxi asked calmly.


    ¡°We hired the bestwyer, and alsopensated arge sum of money to the families, and then... Change the traffic police appraisal at that time. Change what she ate to... Red Bull... The division of responsibilities has also been dealt with. I know it¡¯s not good... But... I really can¡¯t bear Juanjuan...¡± Zhou Nannan lowered her head.


    ¡°It¡¯s very good. It is Wanxin who has means,¡± Lin Wenxi said with a smile.


    ¡°No, the way of Wanxin is often some bad way... Juanjuan knew it for a long time, but Juanjuan¡¯s parents had been very tired working in Wanxin¡¯s family. They wanted to leave Wanxin¡¯s family for a long time, but they couldn¡¯t for a while,¡± Zhou Nannan said hesitatingly.


    ¡°Juanjuan said, since you could think of this method, there must be a way... So... She let me ask you, too,¡± Zhou Nannan said shyly.


    ¡°Let her parents keep the bottom line. As for others, I¡¯m an ordinary person. I don¡¯t have any idea.¡± Lin Wenxi looked at Zhou Nannan cautiously.


    ¡°But, once this is over, Juanjuan said that her parents would be more entangled, and she was worried about what might happen,¡± Zhou Nannan said eagerly.


    ¡°Nannan, I don¡¯t have any good idea for a while, but since you have this idea, I will remember it. I wille to you when I have a chance in the future.¡± Lin Wenxi smiled gently.


    Zhou Nannan nodded. ¡°I don¡¯t know how to repay you.¡±


    ¡°Be Lady White Snake in the afterlife.¡± Lin Wenxi smiled.


    Zhou Nannan grinned happily and left.


    ¡°Uncle Hong Xuan, did you keep the file of all the evidence for the ident?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°Yes, I did. The evidence is clear. The Chen family sent theirwyers and threatened the families of the victims. Your ssmates whomitted the crime have been released. What are you going to do?¡± Hong Xuan asked.


    ¡°Give everything to Dad. He should know how to do it,¡± Lin Wenxi said, and suddenly saw in the distant forest, Wang Zhengjuan and Zhou Nannan hand in hand, quietly watching the fish in the water. In the sunshine, Zhou Nannan¡¯s smile was bright like pearls. He saw Wang Zhengjuan gently stroking Zhou Nannan¡¯s long hair. Zhou Nannan turned around and held Wang Zhengjuan¡¯s hand. They looked at each other and smiled.


    Time seemed to be still in those gentle hands.


    Another slight rain came down slowly.


    Flying flowers free like the dream, endless rain thin like the sorrow. In such early spring, there was a pair of couple, like a painting. It rained with the sun. Did the rainugh, or the sun weep?


    In Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes, tears suddenly appeared.


    ¡°Uncle Hong Xuan, don¡¯t give it to my father,¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°Why? With this, at least we can let Chen Family lose again and dare not show up in a short time!¡± Hong Xuan said.


    ¡°Have you ever heard of cutting the weeds and dig up the roots? Why should we let them not show up? You must keep the evidence in good condition. Once we have the chance, we will fight in many directions. Don¡¯t forget that there seems to be some movement in City A. The fox¡¯s tail ising out soon,¡± Lin Wenxi said with a smile.


    ¡°Since you have a n, I will listen to you first, but you should not mix any personal feelings in it, which is not worth it!¡± Hong Xuan calmly reminded.


    ¡°Fine.¡± Lin Wenxi was silent. In the distant sky, a pair of birds flew by, and then rushed to the distant high altitude. The pair of figures pointed to the sky, farther and farther away.


    Well, go on. Lin Wenxi smiled and took out the pair of statues to y


    With clear water and breeze, sunshine and rain, Lin Wenxi greedily breathed the rare atmosphere, and he saw Gu Xi standing beside the water alone.


    ¡°Today, everybody¡¯s out.¡± Lin Wenxi greeted Gu Xi with a smile.


    Gu Xi came with moonlight and sat down gracefully in the bright light.


    ¡°You really still live in winter.¡± Lin Wenxi had tidied Gu Xi¡¯s cor. In such weather, he still wore a velvet jacket. Didn¡¯t he feel hot?


    Gu Xi sighed softly and said, ¡°You are like me.¡± With saying, he took the statue, and carefully stared at it. He liked it so much that he could not bear to part with it for a while.


    Lin Wenxi turned around, looked up, and breathed deeply into the sky. In the white clouds of the blue sky, it seemed to appear Zhao Yuan¡¯s face when he angrily smashed the money jar. The childhood impression was unforgettable over the years. Lin Wenxi, with a smile on his face, turned around, but heard Gu Xi scream in a panic, and then something fell into the pool with a grunt. Lin Wenxi looked at Gu Xi incredibly and forgot what to say. He rushed to the shore to lie down and watched the stone carving sink slowly. He reached out to grab it. His hands fluttered and rippled on the surface of the water, frightening the fish in the water.


    ¡°No...¡± Lin Wenxi cried out with difficulty and turned to look at Gu Xi. His tears had flowed down.


    Gu Xi was already at a loss in embarrassment. He knew that he had made a terrible mistake. He fell down beside Lin Wenxi and his mind was nk.


    Seeing Lin Wenxi dialing the phone crazily, Gu Xi knew that he would not miss anyone except Zhao Yuan at the moment.


    Lin Wenxi¡¯s face grew paler and paler, and soon he was walking impatiently around the pool.


    Gu Xi suddenly had an ominous thought in his heart. He stood up trying to stop something, but it was toote. He watched Lin Wenxi plunge into the water with a painful face. ¡°Can he swim?¡± This was Gu Xi¡¯s first thought. Moreover, Lin Wenxi jumped into the water, did not cry for help, and was trying to reach the bottom of the water.


    Gu Xi climbed to the edge of the pool with joy and some worries. He saw transparent bubbles constantly rising towards the surface of the water. It seemed that Lin Wenxi in the water could not reach the bottom of the water all the time. He was drinking a lot of water! Lin Wenxi had been struggling instinctively in the water, and the bubbles in the water were getting bigger and bigger. The hands exposed to the water were waving wildly.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi!! Help!¡± Gu Xi suddenly responded and burst into tears. He couldn¡¯t help dialing a number he hadn¡¯t touched for a long time. After a few cold words, the answer was only ¡°Wait till Ie.¡±


    ¡°Wenxi, I¡¯m sorry for you! I won¡¯t! I¡¯ll never do it again!¡± Gu Xi wiped his tears. Someone nearby came over. Several people were ready to take off their clothes to go into the water. However, they saw a strange man in his clothes jumping into the water.


    The strange man was holding Lin Wenxi¡¯s head, swimming in the water and slowlynding on the bank.

 Chapter 132 (Perhaps, It Would Be Soon) This Piece of Feeling Was Waiting to Be Looked Back

    <h4>Chapter 132 (Perhaps, It Would Be Soon) This Piece of Feeling Was Waiting to Be Looked Back</h4>


    Zheng Zihuan did not know why he didn¡¯t fall in love with someone.


    His family and workce went panic, because how could such an excellent young talent still be single? Hence, Zheng Zihuan, who dated with many girls of his hometown in a year, could not find a suitable one. Finally, he saw a thousand love letters written to him by his fellow countryman Guo Ciyun in high school, so he married her.


    In a few years, Zheng Zihuan took his wife and children to the city, and suddenly lost contact with Zhao Mingjiang. Soon after, he was sent to another county by himself. Soon afterwards, he took his wife Guo Ciyun and son Zheng Kai to another county together, andpletely cut off contact with Zhao Mingjiang. Until he heard that Zhao Mingjiang was in dire straits and burdened with debts. After separation for eight or nine years, they met each other again.


    ¡°Howe you haven¡¯t been in contact for so many years?¡± Lin Wenxi asked with red eyes.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± Zheng Zihuan answered with some sorrow, drinking a ss of white spirit.


    ¡°When did youe to the town? How old was Brother Kai then?¡± Lin Wenxi suddenly asked a seemingly unrted question.


    ¡°I don¡¯t remember that. He was about six or seven years old.¡± Zheng Zihuan seemed to be still immersed in memories, and did not answer Lin Wenxi in detail.


    Lin Wenxi wanted to continue questioning, but suddenly he felt that it had no meaning. Something urred to him, so he blushed and hesitated, asking, ¡°Well... Then if you like Uncle Zhao, how could Brother Kai be born?¡±


    Zheng Zihuan was a little surprised. He nodded andughed, saying, ¡°In these days, the younger generation is really open.¡± He added, ¡°At that time, I was young and impetuous. Although I had no idea of these aspects at all, but I could not help it when I recalled it. But in fact, when I did it, in my mind, I thought all about A Yuan¡¯s father, about hisughter, his frown...¡±


    Lin Wenxi tilted his head to hide his panic and asked, ¡°What about now?¡± After saying that, he turned his face, secretly looking out of the window.


    Zheng Zihuanughed but did not speak. Lin Wenxi was restless at the moment.


    Lin Wenxi thought of Hong Yan, as well as his own parents. He suddenly began to be afraid because one day, Zhao Yuan would do the same.


    Now it was hard to meet one person with the same experience who could tell him the marriage experience and life after marriage. Lin Wenxi was just too curious.


    But the story of this man was the same as Gu Xi¡¯s. The difference was that Zhao Mingjiang might not know Zheng Zihuan¡¯s mind until he died, and Zheng Zihuan might never reveal his mind to his beloved.


    He purely loved the past and burdened with everything without affecting the life of his beloved. How could it be inconceivable and uneptable to bury this feeling for a lifetime and hide it till death?


    At least, Zheng Kai knew Gu Xi¡¯s feelings for him. At least because of this feeling, Zheng Kai sometimes pitied Gu Xi and also understood Gu Xi. But because of this feeling, Zheng Kai disliked Gu Xi and refused him.


    He himself might be more fortunate, because Zhao Yuan had more or less feelings for himself. Although Lin Wenxi could not weigh how much the feeling was, he and Zhao Yuan both knew that this had be an unbreakable link between them, but also an abyss that could not be crossed. cing himself in other¡¯s position, Lin Wenxi felt deeply sad. The two emotions were intertwined in his heart. The fiercer the contention was, the more difficult Lin Wenxi could not express. He could not ovee his surprise, so his face turned white and red for a while. For a long time, it turned into a long sigh, apanied by liquor into the stomach, so that liquor stired up the warmth in the blood to calm his turbulent mood.


    Gu Xi, however, was already full of tears.


    Zheng Zihuan felt like returning to what he used to be decades ago. He could see through everything in Lin Wenxi. He persuaded Lin Wenxi to take his second ss of wine and said, ¡°If you don¡¯t love a woman, you will never marry her. That will ruin her.¡±


    ¡°Since you and she had children, and Brother Kai was so tough, you should be happy, right?¡± Lin Wenxi asked in a low voice.


    ¡°Every moment with her, you always think of another person. Over time, she will be suspicious. Gradually, she will know that person is not a woman, but a man,¡± Zheng Zihuan said, ¡°You must not be such a person as me, which will harm yourself and others.¡±


    ¡°What if the one you like just like you? Won¡¯t it be allowed?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°Will your parents agree? What do your rtives and friends think of you?¡± Zheng Zihuan said with some seriousness.


    ¡°Well, what do you think of the matter itself? Is it a mental illness? Or is it brought in blood?¡± Gu Xi asked.


    ¡°I have been specting for a long time that I like a man because I am not strong enough. So I was very strict with A¡¯kai when he was young. He didn¡¯t y any charming role in front of me and his mother. He solved problems with his fists even in primary school. I asked him to behave like a pure man. I even sent him to Green Fields Military Academy at the age of thirteen and let him live alone for almost six years. Until now, I think he is more sensible and tough than all his peers, and I am relieved that I have chosen the right way.¡± Speaking of this, Zheng Zihuan was somewhat proud.


    Lin Wenxi only felt a little angry. He had been under the strict control of his father since he was a child. The restraint and pain in the past repeated before his eyes. He always felt that he had been missing something since he was a child. Sometimes this kind of loss could only bepensated when he memorized Fangfang.


    But what kind of life did Zheng Kai live when he was a child? Zheng Kai¡¯s image seemed to turn into a six or seven-year-old child, who had been rushing in front of himself to protect and love him. Behind Zheng Kai, maybe it was the wounded whip for Zheng Kai, while the whip holder was the self-satisfied Zheng Zihuan, who did not want to let Zheng Kai have a glimmer of homosexual thoughts.


    Lin Wenxi thought again. No wonder Zheng Kai used to think that he was not a man enough. No wonder Zheng Kai was very difficult to ept the intimacy between boys. It must be that Zheng Zihuan instilled all kinds of ideas into him since childhood.


    Lin Wenxi clenched his fist tightly, and finally turned his anger into sadness. He choked and asked Zheng Zihuan, ¡°Do you despise yourself?


    ¡°No, I didn¡¯t,¡± said Zheng Zihuan.


    ¡°Then why did you let Zheng Kai despise people like you?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m just afraid that this mental illness will be contagious and that he will be affected if he meets those like me in the future.¡± Zheng Zihuan was a little anxious to exin.


    ¡°Then you think I¡¯ll infect him, don¡¯t you?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°Are you such a person?¡± Zheng Zihuan asked.


    ¡°You saw Zhao Yuan and me that day,¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°Maybe, I don¡¯t know. In a word, I don¡¯t think A Yuan would do that,¡± Zheng Zihuan muttered to himself.


    ¡°Brother Yuan would do what?¡±


    ¡°Wenxi, A Yuan should be like his father, who would not like a.... like people like us. Besides, he was the only son of his dad. How could you turn him into such a person?¡± With saying that, Zheng Zihuan suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, so he was ready to exin, but did not know how to exin. He simply drank a ss of liquor.


    The silence of Lin Wenxi made Zheng Zihuan more and more uneasy.


    ¡°No, I don¡¯t mean that. I would not treat you like that. I just think, Wenxi, it¡¯s too painful. You know, it¡¯s too painful. I take care of him and I¡¯m happy. But there¡¯s always no limit to people¡¯s desires. I¡¯ve been with him for so long, and more than once, I hope he could hold my hand, and could even kiss me. However, I thought it would be a kind of sphemy to him. I don¡¯t deserve it... don¡¯t deserve it...¡± Zheng Zihuan was a little excited, and his face became redder and redder because of the alcohol.


    ¡°Is there anything wrong with such love?¡± Lin Wenxi unconsciously shed tears which were like big beans rolling down into his ss. He picked up the liquor, finished drinking, only to feel endless bitterness.


    ¡°Right... Is there anything wrong?¡± Zheng Zihuan suddenlyughed, and then shook his head, sitting in his chair dejectedly, ¡°Wenxi, you are the only son in your family. Your father is honest all his life and has a good reputation if your father knows you... What would he think? People live for a lifetime, not only for themselves.¡±


    ¡°If I can change, I will. But can I choose?¡± Lin Wenxi retorted.


    Zheng Zihuan shook his head painfully, ¡°Mingjiang kept talking about you and worrying about you in the days before he left. Often, I repeatedly asked A Yuan to show him your photos on his mobile phone, so that he could feel at ease.¡±


    ¡°I can feel, I can feel his thanks to my father, and I can feel his expectations, but...¡± Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t help bursting into tears.


    ¡°So, you should stop meddling in these things in the future. I have known that you were attacked. It was very good for A¡¯kai to protect you and the girl,¡± Zheng Zihuan said.


    ¡°Thank you. When Uncle was alive... I didn¡¯t take care of him. I¡¯ll do my best in the future!¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°No, he and I hope you will not get involved any more. Let A Yuan deal with it alone. He can do it. You should also keep some distance from A Yuan. His identity is too dangerous for you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you for your reminder. I know it very well in my mind.¡±


    Lin Wenxi turned around and left. He really couldn¡¯t bear to stay with this poor man again. Perhaps everyone had the mark of the times, but that man locked himself in the 1970s forever, in his youth when the feelings were vague.


    Before going out, Lin Wenxi turned to Zheng Zihuan and asked him. Whether his voice was cold or excited, it trembled violently. ¡°Uncle Zheng, has Brother Kai cried for more than twenty years?¡± Lin Wenxi asked. He looked up at the sunshine in the mist, and suddenly felt that no sunshine could shine on the ruins of the world.


    Gu Xi burst out crying loudly. He suddenly understood why Zheng Kai, who met at Green Fields Military Academy, was so silent, and refused and disgusted with many things. But the originator of all this was a person who should have the most experience and understanding of his own suffering.


    Inside, Zheng Zihuan buried himself on the table and muttered to himself, ¡°He never cried... Perhaps... it would be soon.¡±

 Chapter 133 (From Black Hair to White Hair) What Is Love Supposed to Be?

    <h4>Chapter 133 (From ck Hair to White Hair) What Is Love Supposed to Be?</h4>


    Shortly after the start of the school, the results of the forensic test came out. Zhao Mingjiang died of kidney failure eventually. Because the tubes used for his detoxification fell so that the extravasated blood in his body could not get out. The few of them continued to cooperate with the investigation, though they did not have too much hope. Then, they began to make arrangements for the cremation.


    On this day, Zhao Yuan went to see his father onest time, and then his father would be cremated.


    Everyone from Dorm No.216 with Chen Wanxin and Shu Xiaoman from the girl¡¯s dorm all went to the funeral house together.


    Lin Wenxi only thought that Chen Wanxin had lost so much weight. Now, she got a pair of weary eyes, and her bloodless cheeks looked ghastly pale. She disappeared from school for a long time since she got the news of Uncle Zhao¡¯s death. It was not until today could Lin Wenxi see her again.


    The funeral house was just like a ck hole, which specialized in engulfing the happiness part in the seven emotions and six sensory pleasures. So there was only endless sadness left in the funeral house.


    The group of peopleid out the funeral wreaths together. They made a deep bow to Zhao Mingjiang and then saluted him. With a burst of funeral music, the ss coffin began to move slowly and waited to enter the operation room. As soon as the ss coffin was removed, a big fire of nearly a thousand degrees would enwrap Zhao Mingjiang¡¯s body, like thest solemn hymn of praise in this world for this person.


    The ss coffin slowly moved forward, and all the people on the spot shed their tears silently. Abruptly, Zheng Zihuan stepped forward, pointed at the ss coffin, and said, ¡°A Yuan, before your father died, he had somest words for you.¡±


    Zhao Yuan was startled in a sudden. Then he bowed his head and listened to him solemnly.


    ¡°Old Zhao told me that Wanxin was a very sensible nice girl. He wanted you to marry her in the future if Wanxin wanted to marry you.¡± In tears, Zheng Zihuan said to Zheng Kai with a smile, ¡°Son, I left you a letter. Please remember that!¡±


    Before Zheng Kai could react, he saw Zheng Zihuan striding away. When Zheng Kai realized that there was something wrong with his words and hurried to chase after him, Zheng Zihuan had already jumped on the windowsill. In a hoarse voice, he shouted at Zheng Kai and Zhao Yuan. ¡°Both of you remember what I said!¡± After that, he nced at Lin Wenxi and smiled sadly. His body tilted and fell.


    ¡°Dad!¡± Zheng Kai climbed on the sill and reached out. But there was only cold wind passed between his five fingers, which made him feel ice-cold. They could only hear someone cry out in horror. Zheng Kai covered his eyes and didn¡¯t dare to look down. With his body leaning against the wall limply, Zheng Kai sat down slowly. Gu Xi and Wang Xiang instantly rushed toward Zheng Kai together. Feeling his whole body ice-cold, Gu Xiy prone on the windowsill and wanted to look down. But his legs became so weak that he flopped down. Holding the wall with one hand, Wang Xiang had already choked with sobs.


    Meanwhile, Zhao Yuan whispered an exmation and immediately ran downstairs. The group of them was a mess now. While screaming, they ran down the stairs after Zhao Yuan.


    Lin Wenxi jostled through the crowd and saw a scene that he could never forget in his life.


    Little by little, the blood trickled from the bottom of that person, flowing around slowly and helplessly. His steaming blood was now floating on the icy ground, and its warmth vtilized and disperse like the life being drained, not knowing where the life¡¯s shattered soul could beplete again.


    There was not a single trace of pain and panic on Zheng Zihuan¡¯s face. He looked totally relieved. Two streams of blood came out of his nose and ran toward his cheeks slowly. His mouth opened and closed. It seemed that he was trying to say something. Standing beside him, Zhao Yuan didn¡¯t allow others toe close, and he had already made an emergency call.


    ¡°Uncle Zheng...¡± Holding his breath for some time, Lin Wenxi finally managed to cry out and released the hard feelings that blocked in his chest. He rushed up to Zheng Zihuan. Kneeling on the ground, Lin Wenxi tried to hold Zheng Zihuan¡¯s head with his hands, but he was too afraid to move. Lin Wenxi was afraid that if Zheng Zihuan could still be saved, he might suffer a second injury and died because of his rash action.


    The blood was still oozing from Zheng Zihuan¡¯s body. The more and more intense smell of blood choked Lin Wenxi. In a panic, Lin Wenxi carried the blood on the ground in both hands and fed it to Zheng Zihuan. He thought that in this way, he could get the blood back to Zheng Zihuan¡¯s body.


    ¡°Help, help...¡± Lin Wenxi cried loudly. Not knowing what he could do to help, he sat on the ground and kept sobbing.


    ¡°Wenxi... Don¡¯t look at him...¡± Zhao Yuan held Lin Wenxi in his arms and said with a soft voice on and on, ¡°Don¡¯t look at him...¡±


    When Zheng Kai stumbled down the stairs, the ambnce was here already.


    The doctor pronounced Zheng Zihuan dead on the spot.


    Everything came too suddenly that none of them was able to figure out what they should do next. Every one of them stayed still with a serious look. It seemed that time was frozen up. Only Lin Wenxi was still sobbing in a low voice.


    Lin Wenxi thought to himself. ¡°He must have made up his mind to kill himself that day, so he told me, a junior and also a chance acquaintance of him, everything happened in his life. Although Zheng Zihuan¡¯s heart was filled with great pain at that time, he tried his best to remind me. What he said might not be that reasonable, but he was worried about me just like Zhao Yuan¡¯s father who had already passed away.¡±


    ¡°More than 30 years transformed Zheng Zihuan from a teenager with ck hair into an old man with white hair. What kind of friendship that he could never forget till death? What sort of steely determination made him kill himself after Zhao Mingjiang¡¯s death? Was it because that the time he spent with Zhao Mingjiang was so good that he could not finish talking about it in one afternoon and that he could no longer stand living alone in this world?¡±


    Zheng Kai held his father up and slowly walked to the funeral house.


    Zheng Kai dressed Zheng Zihuan in his most decent suit, and the encoffiner made Zheng Zihuan look rather dignified, and even very handsome.


    Zheng Kai thought that when his father was alive, he was not in the mood to dress himself up. It was evident that his father was a charm and elegant man. But because of Zhao Mingjiang, he could not sleep in the day and at night, and both his mind and strength were worn out. Finally, his father said goodbye to this world in such a tragic way.


    And the body of Zhao Yuan¡¯s father was still stored in the cold ss coffin because of an unexpected incident.


    The wind mmed in from the window, and everyone¡¯s head was nk.


    ¡°He was gay! He deserved it! Since he was gay, why would he marry my mother and make her suffer the whole time? Why did he choose to give birth to me?¡± Suddenly, Zheng Kai started to growl.


    ¡°Brother Kai...¡± Lin Wenxi whispered his name.


    ¡°Don¡¯t call my name!¡± Zheng Kai red at the dead body of his father with his fists clenching. Then, it seemed that the whole hall of the funeral house became a stretch of silent hills. Embracing each other, Shu Xiaoman and Gu Xi just couldn¡¯t stop crying.


    Until Guo Ciyun, Zheng Kai¡¯s mother came, the few of them barely said a few words.


    Gu Xi tried to make Zhao Mingjiang and Zheng Zihuan cremate together. Although Zhao Yuan felt reluctant to do so in his heart, he could not bear to turn down this suggestion. Zhao Yuan still remembered that Zheng Zihuan had been taking good care of his father for such a long time. It was not known how many sad adjectives were needed to describe Zheng Zihuan¡¯s apologetic feeling before he jumped down. Zhao Yuan could not restore Zheng Zihuan¡¯s mood at that time, and he remained silent for the moment.


    ¡°Who do you think you are that can decide my husband¡¯s funeral arrangements?¡± On Guo Ciyun¡¯s face, there was no sadness, but only endless anger. Pointing at Gu Xi¡¯s nose, she reproached harshly to him. Lin Wenxi pulled Gu Xi into his arms in a hurry.


    ¡°It¡¯s impossible! Before his death, he had always been fascinated by that man surnamed Zhao. I will not fulfill his wish, even if he is dead now!¡± Guo Ciyun roared hoarsely.


    ¡°Uncle Zheng, obviously he...¡± Gu Xi still couldn¡¯t help but continue to say, and he burst into tears.


    ¡°I knew that Zhao Mingjiang would get your father killed sooner orter.¡± It seemed that Guo Ciyun was still so angry that she swore while pointing at the ss coffin over there.


    ¡°Mom, please give us some peace!¡± Zheng Kai seemed to have calmed down, and it was not known from his expression that whether he was sad or frustrated.


    ¡°I want to swear! He was Zihuan¡¯s burden when he was alive. Your father rushed all over the ce to help him and spent almost the entire fortune to support him. Now, he even took your father¡¯s life away when he died. What kind of fatal rtionship was this?¡± Guo Ciyun wept out mournfully. She could not hold the burden anymore and copse backward.


    In the end, they cremated the bodies of Zhao Mingjiang and Zheng Zihuan separately. Guo Ciyun did not allow anyone to approach Zheng Zihuan¡¯s cinerary casket. Carrying the casket alone while cursing Zhao Mingjiang, she walked away slowly.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± Zheng Kai said to Zhao Yuan. His face was pale but looked extremely calm. However, Zhao Yuan could hear that Zheng Kai¡¯s voice was slightly shaking.


    Zhao Yuan smiled gently and clutched Zheng Kai¡¯s shoulders. ¡°Buddy, I¡¯m sorry, too.¡±


    Regardless of how Zheng Kai¡¯s mother insulted Zhao Mingjiang, Zhao Yuan kept silent all the time. He remembered how humbly his father apologized to this woman. He also knew that if his father were still alive at this moment, he would never allow him to fight back against a woman who had lost her husband.


    ¡°She is very lonely, so was he.¡± Wrapping his arms, Gu Xi sobbed in the corner alone. Wang Xiang leaned against him, and it didn¡¯t know what he was thinking about. Zheng Kai cast a strange look at Gu Xi. Suddenly, he smiled coldly and chased after his mother.

 Chapter 145 (Leave a Number) Mo Qian Visits Zheng Kai to Return the Clothes

    <h4>Chapter 145 (Leave a Number) Mo Qian Visits Zheng Kai to Return the Clothes</h4>


    What Wang Xiang gave Lin Wenxi were several tickets that had been torn to pieces and then glued together.


    The tickets were for a number of trips from a small town to City A, which was too eye-catching.


    ¡°Who asked you to send it?¡± Lin Wenxi asked calmly.


    ¡°Wanxin,¡± Wang Xiang said.


    ¡°What else did she ask you to do?¡±


    ¡°She asked me to keep an eye on all your movements and always convey them to her,¡± Wang Xiang said sincerely.


    ¡°What can she give you?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°I... can¡¯t say,¡± Wang Xiang said.


    ¡°What can I give you?¡± Lin Wenxi asked with a smile.


    ¡°I want to be in.¡± Wang Xiang thought for a moment before responding.


    ¡°In what?¡± Lin Wenxi was curious.


    ¡°In on what you are doing.¡±


    ¡°What am I doing?¡±


    ¡°Getting rid of the devil.¡± Wang Xiang scratched the back of his head andughed.


    ¡°What are you doing it for? Is it for justice or for the moon?¡± Lin Wenxi looked deeply at Wang Xiang and his eyes began to turn cold.


    ¡°I know these days I¡¯ve disappointed you all, Brother Yuan, Brother Kai and you who were all my good brothers. I don¡¯t want to be disturbed by something that made the dormitory always quiet. I hope I can give some assistance in the matter of Brother Yuan.¡± Wang Xiang blushed a little.


    ¡°What can you do?¡± Lin Wenxi was amused and looked at Wang Xiang yfully.


    ¡°If you want me to say anything to Wanxin, I¡¯ll say it to her.¡± Wang Xiang scratched his head.


    ¡°What can Wanxin give you?¡± Lin Wenxi asked again.


    Wang Xiang,¡±...¡±


    ¡°If you don¡¯t tell me what Wanxin can give you, how will I know that I can also give you what you want? Since I can¡¯t afford to give you what you want, how can I be sure that your choice will always be me and that you will not turn to Wanxin in the end?¡±


    ¡°No, from beginning to end, I¡¯ll always stand by you. Whether Wanxin gives it to me or not, it¡¯s the same!¡± Wang Xiang said, pping his chest.


    ¡°If I didn¡¯t know you, I would have believed you. However, after knowing you, I only know that you are a bastard who let a pregnant woman abort at six months. I only know that you are a yboy with at least five girlfriends. You were so fickle that I could not believe you. And most importantly, I don¡¯t need anybody to participate in what I do, Wang Xiang, that¡¯s all,¡± Lin Wenxi said slowly.


    Wang Xiang stomped his feet on the ground in anger.


    ¡°Mo Shi hase out, so you should keep an eye on one person,¡± Lin Wenxi said to Hong Xuan.


    ¡°Who?¡±


    ¡°Zhao Yuan.¡±


    ¡°How could it be him?¡±


    ¡°It suddenly urred to me that there was no movement in the hospital that the people in City A had been keeping an eye on. Maybe the attending physician who checked for heart disease changed the hospital at that time? Zhao Yuan has frequently been in City Ately. It¡¯s a good idea to keep an eye on him.¡±


    ¡°Did he join Mo Shi? Stupid!¡± Hong Xuan was very angry.


    ¡°I... I don¡¯t know how deeply he is involved, but Mo Shi will not give him an important task now. He himself should know this well, and he must be in a hurry to achieve it, so there will be some mistakes.¡± Lin Wenxi was quite worried.


    ¡°What do you want to do?¡± asked Hong Xuan.


    ¡°Prevent him from doing everything,¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    Hong Xuan meditated for a moment and agreed. At 12 o¡¯clock midnight, Hong Xuan was kicking sandbags at home crazily. He had just apanied Lin Ziwei to turn around ande back. He had been working for two weeks safely and steadily. He should not take physical exercise. He pondered on what Lin Wenxi had said and the fact that Lin Wenxi did not submit those pieces of evidence to Lin Ziwei in the past. He frowned.


    In the afternoon, a visitor came to Dormitory 216.


    ¡°Thank you for your clothes, bro.¡± Mo Qian handed over Zheng Kai¡¯s clothes.


    ¡°Haha! I thought I had given them to you!¡± Zheng Kaiughed. Lin Wenxi was grateful when he heard that the life-saving benefactor had arrived. Lin Wenxi looked him over carefully. He seemed to be in his early thirties, but his mature demeanor and grace that made everyone unable to refuse him had to have been cultivated for a long time.


    Lin Wenxi repeatedly thanked him and pushed Zheng Kai, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you leave a phone number back then? So now you don¡¯t know how he came to be here.¡±


    ¡°It was because at that time Brother Qian had something else to do. He left first.¡± Zheng Kaiughed.


    ¡°Oh, I went to the hospital and asked. It¡¯s easy to look up medical records. Is he all right?¡± Mo Qian asked with a smile.


    ¡°There¡¯s too much water in his brain.¡± Zheng Kai sighed.


    ¡°Howe? The younger brother is awake, holding two statues in his hand all the time as if they were his life,¡± Mo Qian said with a smile.


    ¡°Right! Those two little things are really destined! They were a pair of children¡¯s love tokens. After they grew up, they lived in the same dormitory.¡± Wang Xiang perked up when he heard what was being said, so he opened his mouth and responded.


    ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense! They are not tokens of love!¡± Zheng Kai was somewhat unhappy.


    ¡°Haha, it is not a big deal. I can¡¯t tell your age. I don¡¯t know if I should call you Uncle Mo or Brother Mo.¡± Lin Wenxi said with a smile.


    ¡°Me? I am in my forties, and I keep fit,¡± Mo Qian said with a smile.


    ¡°Uncle Mo, look, my dormitory is too messy to receive an honored guest like you. I don¡¯t know what kind of restaurant I should choose if I want to invite you to dinner. If you don¡¯t mind, can you leave a contact number for me to take my parents to visit you one day?¡± Lin Wenxi spoke very sincerely.


    ¡°Bro, you need not be so polite. For me, it was a piece of cake and just added to my virtue. It is not easy to enter Jifu University, so do not be too impulsive next time!¡± Mo Qian looked at Lin Wenxi with some pity.


    ¡°Thank you for your instructions, Uncle Mo. Please leave a contact number. That¡¯s all. I¡¯m really sorry.¡± Lin Wenxi blushed slightly.


    Mo Qian handed over a business card. ¡°Actually, I am very happy to have such a rtionship with the top students of Jifu University. In the future, if you want to have a part-time job, you cane to mypany and have a try.¡±


    The three men sent Mo Qian downstairs and watched him get into a BMW. They waved to him.


    Lin Wenxi looked at his business card: Mo Qian, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Feiyi Garments Co., Ltd.


    ¡°Do you know what heaven and earth, as well as the Eight Diagrams, are?¡± Lin Wenxi turned to Wang Xiang.


    ¡°What...¡± Wang Xiang hid behind Zheng Kai when he noticed the bad look on Lin Wenxi¡¯s face.


    ¡°It¡¯s a golden gossip. Once he knows what happened, the whole world will know!¡± Lin Wenxi said angrily.


    Zheng Kai heard and smiled.


    Not long afterward, Wang Xiang secretly asked Lin Wenxi, ¡°Wenxi, should I tell Wanxin that I encountered Mo Qian today?¡±


    ¡°What do you think?¡± Lin Wenxi looked at him with a faint smile.


    ¡°I... I don¡¯t know. I want to tell her, but I am afraid you have some thoughts. If I don¡¯t tell her, Wanxin will know sooner orter. If I don¡¯t tell her at once, she will doubt my sincerity.¡± Wang Xiang hesitated.


    ¡°It¡¯s up to you.¡± Lin Wenxi smiled and went to the school hospital.


    On the way back from the school hospital, Lin Wenxi was still somewhat uncertain. Some nurses said that today, someone dide to ask the name of the person who fell into the water a few days ago and also looked at the dormitory registration address. That meant Mo Qian did not lie. However, there was something wrong with the appearance of this person, but Lin Wenxi could not put his finger on it. Perhaps, he was just too sensitivetely.

 Chapter 135 (All that You Know) Lin Wenxi Tried Hard to Find a Sound Strategy

    <h4>Chapter 135 (All that You Know) Lin Wenxi Tried Hard to Find a Sound Strategy</h4>


    The storm was over, and all the boys from Dorm No. 216 fell into a long silence.


    Lin Wenxi could not break the ice at all, so he could just let it go on. He didn¡¯t know when the silence would end. Only Wang Xiang would asionally tell some jokes, but these jokes were like the wind blowing over the surface of a rock. When the wind of the joke passed, nothing changed.


    Lying alone on the bed, Lin Wenxi recalled many people and many things.


    The group of girls often came to visit together, but it was a pity that one of them was not here. Zhou Nannan was now busying helping Wang Zhengjuan.


    When all the others had left, Zheng Kai spoke to Lin Wenxi when he saw that there was no one else around. ¡°Tell me everything you know. My dad mentioned to me that he met you before the New Year.¡±


    Lin Wenxi told him everything factually, but he omitted all the overheated rhetoric of Zheng Kai¡¯s father.


    Lin Wenxi murmured. ¡°Everyone blessed them. They got married and had children, but in the end, death separated them.¡± Lin Wenxi thought for a moment and then said to Zheng Kai, ¡°Brother Kai, your father...¡±


    Zheng Kai knitted his brows tightly and closed his eyes to rest. ¡°My father was great.¡± Zheng Kai thought. ¡°Isn¡¯t that so? Since my childhood, my father never paid too much attention to managing my culture courses, but he focused on my physical training. He sent me to Green Fields Military Academy in junior high school, and I spent six years there. When he was home, I could feel how much my mother loved him. He ate the ready-cooked meals my mother prepared for him and wore the clean clothes my mother washed for him. However, I never saw him treat my mother with much enthusiasm. As for the wonderful scenes full of love when families got along very well with each other, it seems I never had memories like that.


    ¡°How could such a father and husband be great? In my eyes, he was only a symbol¡ªa symbol of a father.¡±


    ¡°Shameful,¡± Zheng Kai said with a smile. ¡°So are you.¡±


    Lin Wenxi slightly gnashed his teeth but didn¡¯t say anything.


    That night, Lin Wenxiy alone on the bed, tossing and turning restlessly. ¡°I heard that my mother and my father had a shotgun marriage, which was almost a joke at that time. Even if my dad was a government official, they were still unable to restrain their feelings and had sex, risking universal condemnation. My dad must have loved my mother for years. On significant matters, my mother believed in my father, but my father would be scared out of his wits and instantly drop all his principles once my mother began to cry. That was the reason why I escaped many beatings from father¡¯s leather belt.


    ¡°My mother must always love my father. Many times in my memory, she leaned against the door and waited for my father toe back. My mother would still hand my father a cup of hot tea with a smile whenever he came back even though the dishes she made had be utterly cold.¡±


    Lin Wenxi thought of Yun Che and Zhu Ziping, and the love between them that mightst forever, the blessings from everyone during their wedding and their sweet smiles. He also remembered Gu Xi and Zheng Kai. Gu Xi said that no end was also an end. ¡°But did he make it?¡± Lin Wenxi asked in his heart.


    ¡°The love between Zhang An¡¯an and Wang Xiang is so the indistinct such that others have never felt the intimate rtion between them. But who knows, maybe like still waters run deep, they hide their feelings so deep that others cannot see it.


    ¡°Chen Wanxin, a girl who is usually very bossy, will be someone like a bewitchingly charming peony under Zhao Yuan¡¯s gaze. Before Zhao Yuan, Chen Wanxin will abruptly turn herself from a woman like a bright red pony into a shy littledy like a pink pony. How much does she love Zhao Yuan?¡±


    Thinking of this, Lin Wenxi suddenly felt that he didn¡¯t hate Chen Wanxin that much for what she had done.


    ¡°But how Shu Xiaoman treated me?¡± Thinking of this, Lin Wenxi suddenly felt a little terrified. He remembered Guo Ciyun, who had written 1000 love letters. ¡°To be with me, is Shu Xiaoman more persistent than Guo Ciyun who wrote the 1000 love letters?¡± Then Lin Wenxi remembered what their life was like after Guo Ciyun had married Zheng Zihuan sessfully.


    ¡°As for Wang Zhengjuan and Zhou Nannan, Xiaoman said that Wang Zhengjuan¡¯s grandma forced her to break up with Zhou Nannan and threatened her with her life. Her grandma even came to find Zhou Nannan herself and gave her arge sum of money in order to make her break up with Wang Zhengjuan. Zhou Nannan could not bear to get Wang Zhengjuan into trouble once again, so she took the money, boldly and unashamedly. Then, she announced the end of their rtionship. But to everyone¡¯s surprise, Wang Zhengjuan did such an extremely crazy thing. Now that Wang Zhengjuan is still in prison, the person responsible for the traffic ident has not yet been identified. Wang Zhengjuan and Zhou Nannan, a pair of star-crossed lovers, what would happen to them in the future?¡± Lin Wenxi remembered that Zhou Nannan once said, ¡°I only wish that I could have an ordinary but peaceful life.¡±


    ¡°But how can she have an ordinary but peaceful life? Right! Zhou Nannan!¡± Lin Wenxi seemed to have heard from Zhou Nannan that Chen Wanxin got a lot of things done for Wang Zhengjuan. But why didn¡¯t Chen Wanxin do anything when such a big thing happened to Wang Zhengjuan this time?


    ¡°Chen Wanxin.¡± Lin Wenxi frowned.


    Zhao Yuan had noted return to the dorm. Instead, he had decisively moved out to live with Chen Wanxin. Lin Wenxi did not even try to stop him. He only cast a nce at Zhao Yuan and smiled without saying anything.


    However, Lin Wenxi had slept with Zhao Yuan so many nights. Now, with the chill in the spring air, how could he spend the long night alone? Every night, Lin Wenxi would grasp the pillow firmly while things that had happened shed across his brain. ¡°As the son of Director Lin, I was locked in a cell of the Yangzi County, and Chen Wanxin proudly saved me. Because I had overstepped my authority to help Zhao Yuan, I was punished by being sent to teach at a remote and poor area and was separated with Zhao Yuan for three months! And I was so useless that I failed to protect the life of Zhao Yuan¡¯s father! But what about Chen Wanxin? She openly took the helicopter during her wilderness training. When she went out, her driver was actually a military instructor. She has lots of money to burn and much power to abuse. She was even involved in murdering the exchange student, who had be a scar that Zhao Yuan and I could not mention!


    ¡°Chen Wanxin, unless you don¡¯t know about all of this, can you sleep with Zhao Yuan? Aren¡¯t you afraid that you will tremble with fear when you wake up in the middle of the night?¡±


    It so happened that Shu Xiaoman invited Lin Wenxi and Gu Xi to visit Zhang An¡¯an together. Lin Wenxi still had his eyes closed while resting, and he let Gu Xi go there first. Gu Xi knew the Lin Wenxi¡¯s current situation, so he didn¡¯t force him to go with him and left with Shu Xiaoman. Before leaving, he cast a stern nce at Wang Xiang, who was still indulging in a game.


    However, when Gu Xi came back, Lin Wenxi was gone.


    When Lin Wenxi saw the two at the school gate on their way back, he had immediately gone out to look for Zhang An¡¯an. However, he was greatly frightened when he saw her.


    ¡°How did you be like this?¡± Lin Wenxi hurriedly helped Zhang An¡¯an to sit down to have some rest. Zhang An¡¯an, who had always been chubby, now looked like an extremely withered frost-touched flower. If it were not for the fact that her forehead and face still looked young, she would be as emaciated as a seventy- to eighty-year-old woman. What surprised Lin Wenxi more was that her baby bump had disappeared and her belly had be t!


    Lin Wenxi set aside his thoughts at once and asked her why.


    ¡°There is nothing to say.¡± The minute she opened her mouth, her tears flowed down. ¡°Just now, I have said all the things that I wanted to say to Xiaoman and Gu Xi. I don¡¯t want to repeat it.¡±


    ¡°If you have anything to say to me, just say it.¡±


    ¡°An¡¯an, can you not be so smart?¡± Lin Wenxi could not help eximing.


    ¡°Gu Xi came to visit me, how could you not havee with them? And just when they left, you came here. You avoided them, so you must have something you want to say to me without them around.¡± said Zhang An¡¯an.


    ¡°I want to tell you that Wang Xiang...¡±


    ¡°Do you want to tell me that Wang Xiang has a new girlfriend? You saw them, right? So, what do you want to exchange for this news?¡± Zhang An¡¯an asked him, a little bit wearily.


    ¡°An¡¯an... I...¡± Lin Wenxi suddenly became speechless.


    Zhang An¡¯an uttered a sigh and turned to look at the window.


    ¡°Wang Xiang attended the funeral of Zheng Kai¡¯s father. Ever since he came back from the funeral, his whole person has changed. Wang Xiang kneeled before me and begged me to have an abortion. Wenxi, previously, he wanted this child so much! The child was six months old at that time! Six months old!¡± Zhang An¡¯an murmured tearfully.


    ¡°I guess he didn¡¯t want to do you any harm.¡± Lin Wenxi said, ¡°He made a bad decision, didn¡¯t he?¡±


    ¡°He had always been very good to me... But all of a sudden, he made this decision. Was it because I became fatter, or I¡¯m not pretty anymore? In order to make me end the pregnancy, he deliberately found another girlfriend! Hehe, she is the one you saw before. Wang Xiang is publicizing this matter everywhere as if he is afraid that there is someone who doesn¡¯t know it yet. He tells everyone that I, Zhang An¡¯an, is bearing his child, but he has already abandoned me!¡±


    ¡°No... An¡¯an...¡± Lin Wenxi whispered. He wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. Lin Wenxi believed that Wang Xiang was trying to cover up his misdeed. He did not want to harm Zhang An¡¯an the way Zheng Zihuan had harmed Guo Ciyun, but Lin Wenxi could not draw a firm conclusion. He did not want to say this to Zhang An¡¯an, either.


    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s talk about your things.¡± Zhang An¡¯an said, ¡°What do you want to know?¡±


    ¡°All that you know about Wanxin,¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°Wenxi, Wanxin and you are like water and fire now!¡± Zhang An¡¯an said in a deep voice.

 Chapter 136 (Are You Ready?) The Wise An’an Deduces the Truth

    <h4>Chapter 136 (Are You Ready?) The Wise An¡¯an Deduces the Truth</h4>


    ¡°Wanxin must have also asked you, right? Because you remain neutral and don¡¯t help either of us,¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    Zhang An¡¯an nodded. ¡°Usually, you like sharing your things with Gu Xi and Gu Xi likes talking to me. Thus, Wanxin also has asked me everything about you. However, I don¡¯t even dare to specte about what has happened to you. How can I draw any conclusion? I guess that she must be afraid of you, so she came to ask me. She should also be scared of Instructor Zhang.¡±


    Lin Wenxi listened with interest.


    ¡°Zhang Dong has be a wanted criminal for the time being. He has contacted you through paper notes. Then he certainly can get in touch with you through other means. At present, all the evidence proves that Zhang Dong killed Zhao Yuan¡¯s father, and this note gives me two directions to analyze this matter. The first direction is that Zhang Dong was coerced into murdering Zhao Yuan¡¯s father. The second direction was that Zhang Dong tried to use this note to cover up his crime. Well, I am quite sure that this note from Zhang Dong points to the first direction.¡±


    ¡°Why do you believe Zhang Dong so much?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°Don¡¯t try to trap me. You cannot do anything to me even if I tell you that I made the judgment by my intuition.¡± Zhang An¡¯an smiled slightly, and a touch of redness appeared on her pale face.


    Immediately, Lin Wenxi stopped asking and begged, ¡°An¡¯an, please don¡¯t humiliate me.¡±


    ¡°Well, forget it. Wenxi, even you would have such an embarrassing moment. Hey, from the time I knew that you could hide your father so deep, I realized that you are just kind and honest. But you are definitely not so naive like Gu Xi and Xiaoman.¡± Zhang An¡¯an seemed to be a little tired, Lin Wenxi hurriedly took a pillow and put it behind her back.


    ¡°I never rely on my intuition. The basis of my judgment is evidence,¡± said Zhang An¡¯an.


    ¡°Do you know why Xiaoman is not so close to me as before?¡± Zhang An¡¯an asked.


    Lin Wenxi shook his head. He really could not guess the private things between girls.


    ¡°Long time ago, Xiaoman, sheined tearfully to me and asked me why I would rather tell the thing that Zhang Dong had done to you to Chen Wanxin than to her. I wanted to deny it immediately, but then I admitted right on the spot that it was me who told Chen Wanxin that. Do you know why?¡± Zhang An¡¯an looked at Lin Wenxi, yfully.


    ¡°You really have to test my IQ all the time.¡± Lin Wenxi gave her a gentle smile. After thinking for a little while, he suddenly shuddered all over and gasped in shock. ¡°My God! She knew!¡±


    Zhang An¡¯an nodded slightly. ¡°You have got the point! The best horse stumbles, so does a person. Chen Wanxin is always thinking of provoking my rtionship with Xiaoman, but she identally exposed herself. She knows about the thing that happened between you and Zhang Dong. What¡¯s more, she didn¡¯t learn this thing from you! I believe that except for Gu Xi and Zhao Yuan, you wouldn¡¯t tell anyone about the thing that happened between you and Zhang Dong! Since Wanxin knows the fact, there is only one possibility: she let someone report Zhang Dong! But who reported Zhang Dong? Of course, it was Instructor Luo who always stayed around her! As a subordinate of Zhang Dong, he knew very clearly what is fatal to Zhang Dong.¡±


    ¡°An¡¯an, at that time, you could react in such a short time and didn¡¯t retort upon Xiaoman such that you saved her and protected yourself. But, it was just that you have to suffer after that! What will you do if Wanxin knows that you have admitted the thing that you should not have admitted?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°I believe that with Chen Wanxin¡¯s wisdom, she would never provoke Xiaoman in a direct way like that. If the two of them confronted face to face, the truth woulde out. How could she be so stupid? She must have given Xiaoman a vague answer. As for Xiaoman, sometimes she thought that it was me who told that to Chen Wanxin, and sometimes she thought it was Zhao Yuan. She might have thought it was you who said that. But Xiaoman was still uncertain. Finally, she suspected that I did that, so I had to admit it. In this way, she certainly will not go to seek confirmation from Wanxin. Therefore, Wanxin is unlikely to know what had happened,¡± said Zhang An¡¯an.


    ¡°But, even if you had denied it at that time, Xiaoman might not have gone to ask Zhao Yuan the same question, right?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°Why would Xiaoman suspect me? Because she also did not believe that Zhao Yuan would tell Wanxin about this. If I had denied it, she would have felt nervous and uncertain. Thus, she might tell someone else about thister on. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can easily see that Zhao Yuan actually likes you. He uses his life to love you.¡± Zhang An¡¯an chuckled to herself, and Lin Wenxi could not help blushing slightly to his ears.


    ¡°I swear that I will not say a word about anything you said to me today. I will zip my lips!¡± Lin Wenxi said firmly.


    ¡°Thank you. I have nothing to do with these things. I know how to deal with it. You can rest assured. You know that I am capable of handling all of this, so youe to ask me. You didn¡¯t ask Xiaoman because you were afraid of getting her into trouble and you didn¡¯t trust her that much. Am I right?¡± Zhang An¡¯an smiled with appreciation.


    ¡°Xiaoman, sometimes she considers things in a too simple way. But she is very nice and kind, ¡°Lin Wenxi said thoughtfully, ¡°An¡¯an, please go on.¡±


    ¡°Why could Chen Wanxin know the matter? This question is key! You didn¡¯t tell Zhao Yuan about it in person, did you? During that time, you looked so depressed and subdued, and you could not tell Zhao Yuan about that thing.¡± Zhang An¡¯an analyzed.


    Lin Wenxi nodded in admiration.


    ¡°I remember that Gu Xi told me that it was Zhao Yuan who pulled you into the woods to find Zhang Dong, who was determined to die at that time. Zhang Dong had decided to kill himself at that time. I guess that means Zhao Yuan learned this from either Zhang Dong or Wanxin. Even if Wanxin knew the thing about you and Zhang Dong a long time ago, she would not be too stupid to tell Zhao Yuan about this. She would instead write big-character posters and posts about this thing and let someone send these posters and posts to the school forum! Just like she let someone to cook up the story that you got AIDS and spread the news around,¡± said Zhang An¡¯an.


    ¡°The school forum...¡± Lin Wenxi had never been to the school forum, so he certainly didn¡¯t know about these things.


    ¡°You should me Zhao Yuan for the foolish thing he did. You must remember the thing that you ignored him once, and then he became jealous. Feeling his head swimming, he told the person sitting beside you that you got AIDS. After that, Wanxin put the thing that you got AIDS into a post and sent it to our school forum. Xiaoman and I found the senior student who was in charge of the school forum and seduced him. Then we sessfully made him delete the post. Of course, Xiaoman was the main force, and I acted as an assist,¡± Zhang An¡¯an said with a smile.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t know that there is such a thing! An¡¯an, thank you very much!¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°There is nothing to thank me for. Xiaoman and I, we want you to be with Zhao Yuan from the very beginning. It is probably because both of us are genuine fujoshi... But now, it bes increasingly difficult for me to see many things clearly. After having experienced such a life-and-death disaster together, you and Zhao Yuan should have stayed together all your lifetimes. But recently, I heard from Gu Xi that you two are drifting apart only for thest words reported by someone else. s...¡± Zhang An¡¯an stared at Lin Wenxi, raising her eyebrows.


    ¡°It¡¯s a long story to tell,¡± said Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Let¡¯s talk about these things when everyone¡¯s mental wounds close up. Anyway, Gu Xi said that Zheng Kai¡¯s father had extremely contempt for you, Gu Xi, and himself. It is not that I am rude to the dead, but perhaps, he ryed the falsest words. But I really cannot understand why Zheng Kai¡¯s father insisted on saying that Zhao Yuan and Wanxin should get married,¡± Zhang An¡¯an said while smiling.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go back, go back to our topic just now.¡± Lin Wenxi forced himself to make her stop talking more about that.


    ¡°Haha!¡± Zhang An¡¯an gave him an understanding smile. ¡°Okay, we denied the possibility of the second direction. Therefore, Zhang Dong must have said it to Zhao Yuan himself. He admitted to Zhao Yuan in person that he had done these things. However, how could Chen Wanxin know the time and ce of these things? There is only one possibility: Chen Wanxin had long known all the movements of Zhang Dong. Someone had already started to tail Zhang Dong at an earlier time. Moreover, the person might have overheard, or even more likely, have recorded the conversations when Zhang Dong confessed those things to Zhao Yuan. Otherwise, without any evidence, why could someone win the case at the first try, especially when Zhang Dong was one of the hottest students in the military school at that time?¡± Zhang An¡¯an said thoughtfully.


    ¡°It¡¯s a recording.¡± Lin Wenxi said affirmatively. He remembered what thepanymander had said.


    ¡°Well, you are right. Most likely, it is a recording,¡± Zhang An¡¯an said tly while smiling, ¡°I heard that in order to develop their power, sinister gangs will do favors to those students in sports schools or military schools as early as possible. Then, those gangs can make the students do dirty things for them. At the same time, they will collect the evidence. Threatening those students with the evidence, the gangs will force them to make a guarantee. With the high reward and the guarantee, many of those students have to choose the road of no return. Zhang Dong, he is likely to be one of the victims. Behind Chen Wanxin, there is a huge sinister gang, which is an extremely horrible group. I say it is extremely horrible because they still attempted to attack you when they had already known your background. Meanwhile, they seized the opportunity to ask Zhang Dong toy his murderous hands on Zhao Yuan¡¯s father. Wenxi, are you fully aware of the danger?¡± Zhang An¡¯an asked Lin Wenxi seriously.


    When Lin Wenxi finished listening to the analysis of Zhang An¡¯an, he was suddenly enlightened. He sighed with surprise. ¡°An¡¯an, if you were born in ancient times, then Zhuge Liang could not no longer be the symbol of wisdom.¡±


    Shaking her head, Zhang An¡¯an said, ¡°I have misjudged you and Zhao Yuan. I thought you were just a very delicate son from an official or literary family. I finally realized that you are invulnerable and stubborn. And I have never imagined that you are so persevering in the face of difficulties. I thought that Zhao Yuan was just a ruffian from a declining rich family. But I have never thought that under his sophisticated and rascal exterior, he is so upright, but also so unfortunate. Simrly, I cannot understand and see though Wang Xiang, the person I was lying next to in bed.¡±


    ¡°Wang Xiang may not be able to see through himself. How can we fully understand him?¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°You are really good at blocking my questions. I was about to ask your opinion,¡± Zhang An¡¯an said, smiling.


    ¡°It¡¯s not all like that. Even if I have stayed in the same dorm with him for a very long time, I don¡¯t quite understand him.¡± Lin Wenxi smiled shamefully.


    ¡°Wenxi, in the future, don¡¯t ask me anymore! I have to keep out of all your affairs. It is not that I cannot take on the responsibilities. I have problems that I don¡¯t want to talk about. I hope you can understand,¡± Zhang An¡¯an said.


    ¡°I understood,¡± Lin Wenxi said with a smile.


    ¡°Wenxi, well, are you ready for real?¡± Zhang An¡¯an asked.


    Lin Wenxi said with a smile, ¡°I prepared with my life!¡±


    Zhang An¡¯an couldn¡¯t help shedding tears. ¡°If you can¡¯t, leave yourself a way open for the future. Always remember to stay safe!¡±


    ¡°Since Zhao Yuan intended to follow his father¡¯sst words, half of me has been buried in the coffin already. An¡¯an, thank you!¡± Lin Wenxi smiled sadly and took his leave.

 Chapter 137 (Bullshi*t Morals) Lin Wenxi Tried by All Possible Means to Plan

    <h4>Chapter 137 (Bullshi*t Morals) Lin Wenxi Tried by All Possible Means to n</h4>


    ¡°Yuan, I know that you don¡¯t want to mention this matter, but I still hope that you can talk to me about it in detail. I want to know all the details about the matter of the exchange student that you asked Chen Wanxin to deal with at the beginning,¡± Lin Wenxi said to Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Wenxi, leave my affairs alone.¡± It seemed that Zhao Yuan was very dissatisfied with Lin Wenxi for interrupting his basketball match with others.


    ¡°They are also my affairs! And, only today, Chen Wanxin doesn¡¯t follow you around. You don¡¯t want me to ask her, do you?¡± Lin Wenxi asked with a smile.


    ¡°Go ahead to ask her.¡± With this, Zhao Yuan turned around and left.


    ¡°Yuan, I remember that in previous, as long as Iined of pain, you would instantly feel worried about me, and if I pretended not to have breakfast, you would be anxious. Although you are with Chen Wanxin now, I can guarantee that you will always lose to me once I y those tricks.¡± Lin Wenxi smile brilliantly.


    Zhao Yuan threw away the basketball and turned to look at Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Wenxi, what exactly do you want to do?¡± Zhao Yuan couldn¡¯t help feeling a little angry.


    ¡°Do you know that? I have said to myself many times that without you, Zhao Yuan, I will be a living dead in this world. You can certainly continue to turn your back on me cruel-heartedly. But over time, I will take it seriously. At that time, there would be no point for me in living, and my life would be meaningless, too. Therefore, I would not care if I lose one finger today or lose an eyeball tomorrow. Yuan, believe me, I am now much crazier than you!¡± Lin Wenxi said coldly.


    Zhao Yuan just remained silent, his face somber.


    ¡°You can say such heartless things more. But now, my heart is very vulnerable, and I will take your words seriously. In the future, I will no longer ask you to do things like hugging or kissing me that may put you in awkward situations. However, you¡¯d better be obedient when I ask you to do something for me! Otherwise, I will let you see how I kill myself with your own eyes.¡± Lin Wenxi smiled, a little sadly. ¡°Now, I can only threaten you by saying something like this, right?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the point of doing this?¡± Zhao Yuan asked sharply.


    ¡°I just want you to know that in this world, there is someone who is willing to live for you and die for you!¡± Lin Wenxi said slowly.


    ¡°Wenxi, don¡¯t say so...¡± Zhao Yuan smiled sadly. ¡°I don¡¯t deserve that.¡±


    ¡°Actually, everything is worthwhile for me since the first time I saw you,¡± Lin Wenxi said while smiling.


    Zhao Yuan felt helpless for a moment. So he had no choice but to tell Lin Wenxi everything happened at that night when he had a conversation with someone at the ce of the Mo family.


    ¡°Luo Yang, it was you.¡± Lin Wenxi smiled lightly.


    ¡°Yuan, I will win you back in my way!¡± Lin Wenxi smiled and waved goodbye to Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Wenxi, don¡¯t do anything for me again. Please don¡¯t...¡± Silently watching the figure that gradually drifted away, Zhao Yuan felt that his heart seemed to be bleeding.


    ¡°He cannot take risks for me anymore.¡±


    ¡°Uncle Hong Xuan, take me to A City. I am going to meet the families of the exchange student,¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°You¡¯d better stay put and behave yourself. Wenxi, you have no idea how many dangers there are.¡± Hong Xuan said, feeling quite worried.


    ¡°Uncle Hong Xuan, I am protecting myself! I stay in school, so I am clearer about the situation I am in. Either you can let my father get ready to send me abroad, which will need him to do a lot of work, right? Because he fears that some people will think he bends thew for the benefit of his son, right? Or you can let me drop out of school and go to work in other cities. If Ie back until you finish fighting, will that be safer? Or, I can go out and rent a house so that you and your bunch of men can keep your eyes on me 24 hours a day. All of you can even follow me to the ss. I guess that you guys appear so mighty and strong that you can surely draw lots of attention, right? Then, my dad will think it is too mboyant, and he will worry about this or that...¡± Lin Wenxi giggled.


    ¡°Wenxi, how can you say Brother Wei like that?¡± In a low voice, Hong Xuan reproached.


    ¡°I¡¯m just saying that I get such a cowardly dad! He has already let me down, but what about you? Do you only know how to teach me? To be honest, when Lin Ziwei is dealing with the affairs, is he too stubborn in sticking to his principles that may be deadly sometimes? There are many methods in therge-space grey zone between ck and white. You should have made up for his shorings, shouldn¡¯t you? The two of you rigidly do things together. If one day someone drives you up to the wall, can any of youe up with any solutions?¡± Lin Wenxi said tly.


    ¡°You should know that a false step may cause lifelong regret. If you take a false step, can you make sure that you will not fall into the abyss at your left side?¡± Apparently, Hong Xuan became a little anxious.


    ¡°In fact, you want to do a lot of things, but you are not allowed to do those things, aren¡¯t you? Because my father is not allowed you toe up with any depraved thoughts, isn¡¯t it? But, aren¡¯t those thoughts the voice from your heart? Otherwise, why did you defy my father¡¯s order that day and tell me everything? You began to wobble, didn¡¯t you?¡± Lin Wenxi said with a smile.


    ¡°Wenxi, you will not understand. It¡¯s a matter of principle...¡± said Hong Xuan.


    ¡°Don¡¯t mention the principle to me! Do not vite thew can be a principle, but don¡¯t transgress social morality will no longer be a principle of me! If you don¡¯t take me there, I certainly can find a way to go there by myself. At that time, do you still have to follow me?¡± Lin Wenxi sneered.


    Hong Xuan was slightly stunned because Lin Wenxi seemed to remold himself thoroughly overnight.


    A city.


    ¡°I want to avenge your daughter. You should remember my following words clearly. If anyone asks youter, you must remember to tell them that Wang Zhengjuan is your rtive. She is a sophomore in ss six of theputer science department at Jifu University! It is her photo! Besides, if someone reopens the case, you should assert emphatically that you have seen this person appear near your home, and this person is Luo Yang,¡± Lin Wenxi said seriously to the exchange student¡¯s parents. Then, he handed them the picture of Luo Yang in military uniform.


    ¡°If anyone threatens you and youpromise, your daughter in the grave deserves to be wronged!¡± Lin Wenxi snapped, pointing at the ck and white photo of their daughter hanging on the wall. Then he walked over and lit a stick of incense in silence.


    ¡°Besides, I should tell you in front of your daughter that if you betray me to anyone, you will certainly die from injustice like your daughter!¡± Lin Wenxi put out the incense with a p. ¡°In the future, it¡¯s your choice whether you want the murderer to confess and atone for his sin before your daughter or you want him to lit incense for you!¡±


    Lin Wenxi walked out in a very threatening manner.


    ¡°Wenxi, but you have no evidence,¡± Hong Xuan said.


    ¡°But we obviously know that it should be the Chen family! We don¡¯t have any evidence, so do we just let them get away unpunished? To get the evidence, sometimes we should wait until they showed their traces. Remember to send people to stare at this family and don¡¯t let anything bad happen to them,¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°Wenxi, are you sure that you are going to take care of this matter?¡± Hong Xuan asked, lowing his brows.


    ¡°Uncle Hong Xuan, even if there is no one to help me, I will stick to the end! I will go my way. Whether I can get a good end or a bad end, the oue of my life is in my hands. It¡¯s not up to fate!¡± Lin Wenxi said stubbornly.


    Hong Xuan nodded and could not help feeling respect for him. He had never seen Lin Wenxi like this. Such a descendant of the Lin family was the one who could really make his blood surge and rekindle his fighting passion of the year! Hong Xuan watched him with a look of admiration. ¡°I don¡¯t know what made you who you are today in such a short time. But I will definitely support you to the end! Just consider that I am making up for the part of Brother Wei¡¯s shorings. But you should promise me one thing: protect yourself!¡±


    Lin Wenxi nodded seriously.


    Lin Wenxi knew that Zhou Nannan had rented a house near the prison where Wang Zhengjuan was in. She had been living there alone all the time.


    Several times on his way there, Lin Wenxi wanted to go back home by car. In his heart, he felt very uneasy.


    ¡°Nannan, why hasn¡¯t Wanxin helped Wang Zhengjuan?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know...¡± Zhou Nannan¡¯s face was a little pale.


    ¡°You know, but you just don¡¯t want to tell me! Do you know that just now, the family behind Wanxin did a big bad thing? They hide their capabilities now while biding the time, so they can¡¯t show up,¡± Lin Wenxi said with a smile.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t heard of any big bad thing, but Sister Wanxin must feel a little tricky to help us. And in fact, A¡¯juan should not take the full me. A¡¯juan said that the man changed hisne without turning on the turn signal, so she didn¡¯t have enough time to react on the highway. I think nothing big will happen on A¡¯juan even if Sister Wanxin does not help,¡± Zhou Nannan said honestly.


    ¡°If there is no big problem, why hasn¡¯t she been sentenced or released yet? Because Wang Zhengjuan¡¯s father and mother are trying hard to save her. Once they fail, how many years will Wang Zhengjuan be sentenced? So many years in prison will ruin her.¡± Lin Wenxi said coldly.


    ¡°Wenxi, don¡¯t scare me. Why do you speak in such a strange way?¡± Zhou Nannan could not help taking a step back, looking at Lin Wenxi with astonishment. The boy with a gentle smiling face would never be so cold and speak gruffly with such a stern look.


    ¡°Nannan, I am here to help you,¡± Lin Wenxi eased his tone and said.


    ¡°You... How can you help me?¡± Zhou Nannan retreated, a little scared.


    ¡°You just need to tell Wang Zhengjuan that Wang Luyao, an exchange student in A city who died from a sudden heart attack, is her rtive. Wang Luyao¡¯s parents have been trying to find a way to reopen her case. Let Wang Zhengjuan say these words to Chen Wanxin, who will save her then.¡± While smiling, Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°Really?¡± Zhou Nannan couldn¡¯t help smiling.


    ¡°But you, why do you help me?¡± Zhou Nannan asked with a smile.


    ¡°Nannan, we are the same kind of people. You like Zhengjuan, just like I like Zhao Yuan, isn¡¯t it?¡± Lin Wenxi said heavily.


    Zhou Nannan pped her hands and nodded while smiling. Then she asked, ¡°But will Sister Wanxin help us if I do as you told me?¡±


    ¡°Nannan, if you want to get Zhengjuan out, just do what I said. Though you remain neutral between Wanxin and me, I¡¯m afraid that you still know lots of the things Wanxin did to me. Who I am and who she is, you can have your judgment no matter how simple-minded you are. I have nothing more to say,¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    Zhou Nannan nodded solemnly, ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Lin Wenxi sat and chatted a little while longer with her, and then he left. When he went out, he lifted the corners of his mouth and formed a smile as the crescent moon, a lot like the bloody one in the sky.


    ¡°Uncle Hong Xuan, get the irrefutable evidence against Wang Zhengjuan. Meanwhile, send your men to keep a close watch on Wang Zhengjuan¡¯s families. Once they try to get in touch with the Chen family, be sure to put the monitoring in ce. And the most important point, I have shown Zhang Dong¡¯s photo to you. Protect him well if he appears!¡± Lin Wenxi said slowly.


    ¡°Zhang Dong is a wanted criminal, so I guess he will not appear on public asions in the short term,¡± Hong Xuan said.


    ¡°I hope that they will make some mistakes. I don¡¯t know what they will do, but if there is any action, there will be ws,¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Hong Xuan said, ¡°However, I cannot go to your ce often. The most important responsibility for me is to protect your father.¡±


    ¡°I know.¡± Lin Wenxi said gently. Throwing his phone aside, he sighed as if relieved of a heavy load and fell into bed.

 Chapter 149 (It Couldn’t Cure my Life!) He Would Rather Die Than Being Insulted

    <h4>Chapter 149 (It Couldn¡¯t Cure my Life!) He Would Rather Die Than Being Insulted</h4>


    Zheng Kai shouted on the stage, and the audience heard Xiang Yu shouting, ¡°Ambnce.¡± They could not help but feel it unreal andugh a lot. Xiang Yu had taken off his robe and wrapped Concubine Yu¡¯s neck with it. He jumped off the stage with Concubine Yu in his arms, and hurriedly ran to the entrance of the auditorium.


    ¡°Blood...¡± Lin Wenxi looked at the bloodstains sprinkled on the ground. His heart seemed to have been severely cut. He burst into tears and said, ¡°You are so silly!¡±


    ¡°Gu Xi, Gu Xi, fu*k!¡± Zheng Kai ran all the way, and the sweat stains on his face dyed the make-up colors together.


    ¡°The blood bank isck of blood...¡± The doctor wiped his sweat. ¡°There are so many idents in your ss... somebody was drowned and somebody was pregnant... Now, there is one who cut his neck.¡±


    Zheng Kai could not have imagined that the prop sword had been reced by Gu Xi with the real sword glittering with cold light. Only the martial arts team hid several real swords, and he did not know how Gu Xi got them out. How could he unconsciously rece the props?


    ¡°Draw my blood as much as you can,¡± Zheng Kai said seriously. In the past, Gu Xi also transfused blood for him. He knew that they were of the same blood type.


    The blood came out of Zheng Kai¡¯s arms bit by bit, one bag after another. Gu Xi had fallen into aa due to ischemia. His pale face was like a piece of thin paper, which was unbearable for people to watch. His breath, like a candle in the wind, might vanish at any time.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡± Zheng Kai buried his head deeply.


    Zheng Kai still remembered Gu Xi¡¯s cold eyes and deep despair at that time.


    That night, Zheng Kai stood as guards at the bier for all night. He still felt sorry for his father¡¯s death. Gu Xi couldn¡¯t help persuading him. Without saying anything, Zheng Kai dragged Gu Xi into the bathroom.


    Zheng Kai did not know what he was doing. He remembered Chen Wanxin¡¯s tenderness when she took care of himself. He remembered Chen Wanxin¡¯s decision to leave when she knew about Zhao Yuan¡¯s ident. He remembered Chen Wanxin¡¯s smile at him when they met again, as if they returned to the past.


    The person, in front of him, who had been taking care of, following, entangling, sticking to himself and making himself annoyed was thest one he wanted to hurt. He couldn¡¯t frown at him or shout at him, but he never knew how annoying he was and how much he hated all this.


    How shameful and disgusting was when this man kissed his lips in the middle of the night!


    Why was this person not Wanxin!


    Zheng Kai was hysterical and furious.


    That night was so unusual, because the thunder was so loud and the rain was so unusual. Zheng Kai¡¯s fierce face was terrible. Gu Xi was taken off naked, shivering all over. He almost begged Zheng Kai to let him go, but Zheng Kai refused.


    ¡°It hurts! Zheng Kai, let me go! ¡±


    He struggled with all his strength.


    His arm was deeply bitten, but the pain stimted Zheng Kai¡¯s fighting spirit.


    ¡°Zheng Kai, I beg you. I have already let go... I just want to be friends with you... and brother...¡±


    ¡°Shameful! What friends and brothers! You¡¯re as shameful as my dad!¡±


    Blood suddenly seeped out and fell to the floor, but Zheng Kai did not perceive it.


    It was like the blood in his heart flowing out.


    Until he became numb, paralyzed and couldn¡¯t utter a word.


    Gu Xi even thought that as Zheng Kai¡¯s venting tool, he was also very happy. Gu Xi persuaded himself and deceived himself into being happy. Zheng Kai¡¯s warm body left his trembling body, and finally, his cold wordspletely crushed the lies he told himself, ¡°Is this what you want? I gave it to you! You can go.¡±


    ¡°This is what I want. This is what I have waited for eight years! You don¡¯t like that a boy behaves like a girl, so I¡¯ve been learning how to be a man. You don¡¯t like the fragility of boys, so I never cry in front of you and always smile.¡±


    ¡°Zheng Kai!¡± Gu Xi wasughing.


    Gu Xi opened his eyes andughed. Enduring the numbness of his feet, he slowly walked out of the door and fainted in the rain outside.


    Like time flew backwards, in the cold rainy night so many years ago, Gu Xi, holding the life-saving medicine box, fell into the mud.


    When Zheng Kai went to help Gu Xi buy lunch and returned to the hospital, Gu Xi had already left. He asked his mother Guo Ciyun. Guo Ciyun said calmly, ¡°I only persuaded him not to report the case, and he...¡±


    Zheng Kai thought that he would never see Gu Xi again, but he didn¡¯t expect that Gu Xi came back from God knew where.


    However, Zheng Kai knew that Gu Xi was still alive, but also was dead.


    He never said a word, but he still would send his coat over at the cold night.


    Zheng Kai was confused.


    He suddenly remembered the sentence that Lin Wenxi said at his father¡¯s funeral, ¡°Can somebody tell me, what love is supposed to be? That makes me hold no fear in the face of death. With your absence, my existence is meaningless on earth.¡±


    ¡°Is that love?¡± His father taught himself what boys should and shouldn¡¯t do when he was young.


    Zheng Kaiughed with a hoarse voice.


    When Gu Xi woke up again, the ssmates were standing around him.


    Zheng Kai, with an unshaven beard, glossy face, bloody eyes and paleplexion, was still holding his hand. Lin Wenxi, beside him, was too haggard to be human. When he saw himself waking up, he was weeping.


    Lin Wenxi med himself deeply.


    He found Gu Xi¡¯s expulsion notice in Gu Xi¡¯s dormitory. With this notice, many things gradually were clear.


    Gu Xi had been absent from school for two weeks without any reason. He didn¡¯t listen to the ss monitor¡¯s admonition, and pped the monitor of another ss, because the monitor privately said that two boys in a ss behaved ambiguously. Gu Xi was reprimanded by the counselor, and he even held the counselor in public and kissed him fiercely. Gu Xi scared the counselor to make a fool of himself in public and he almost broke up with his girlfriend.


    ¡°Atst, the dean of the Academy talked to Gu Xi that day. As a result, he heard the movement in the office of the college building. After a while, the door of the office opened. The dean sweated and ran out, shouting all the time. Later, I asked Gu Xi what had happened. Gu Xi said that he just pinched the dean¡¯s balls for a few times and that it was quitefortable. The dean stood and enjoyed it for a while before he ran away.¡± Shu Xiaoman said so.


    ¡°Gu Xi asked me not to bother you with these things. You¡¯ve been so busytely that you haven¡¯t been in your dormitory very often. I wanted to talk to you several times, but there¡¯s always no chance.¡±


    As Gu Xi¡¯s confidant and friend, he was like deaf and blind, and he was too insensible.


    Lin Wenxi held Gu Xi¡¯s hand and burst into tears.


    ¡°Wenxi, if you get thinner, you¡¯ll dry up.¡± As soon as Gu Xi finished, his tears fell down.


    ¡°Don¡¯t wait for those who don¡¯t deserve, okay?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t be like me,¡± Gu Xi said, cruelly beating Zheng Kai¡¯s hand, but the big hands just held Gu Xi.


    ¡°Kill me, Gu Xi,¡± Zheng Kai said, ¡°You can do everything you want to me.¡±


    Gu Xi looked around at the crowd andughed contemptuously. ¡°Are you serious? Guys, did you all hear that?¡±


    Lin Wenxi covered Gu Xi¡¯s mouth. ¡°Gu Xi, stop. It¡¯s hard for you, and it¡¯s also hard for... First, you should be well.¡±


    Gu Xi pushed Lin Wenxi¡¯s hand aside. ¡°My disease can be cured, but my life cannot! If you are destined to have something, you will. However, you cannot have it by force. Someone¡¯s father had left hisst words, what can you do even if he really loves you...?¡±


    ¡°Zheng Kai! I want you to kiss me in public! Would you like to?¡± Gu Xi smiled coldly.


    Zheng Kai frowned slightly, bent down, pursed his lips, closed his eyes to hold his breath, and then decided to kiss Gu Xi¡¯s mouth.


    ¡°No!¡± Lin Wenxi pulled Zheng Kai hard and said to Gu Xi, ¡°Let¡¯s leave some room for each other.¡±


    ¡°I want it! I want!¡± Gu Xi shouted.


    ¡°Zheng Kai, go out, and you all can go out, I will apany Gu Xi!¡± Lin Wenxi shouted fiercely and looked around the crowd. He was desperate to find that Zhao Yuan was not here.


    When the crowd went out, Gu Xi turned away and ignored Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°He forced himself to do what he was unwilling to do in public. The affairs between you will soon be spread. Zheng Kai¡¯s greatest regret in his life is the evil fruit that Uncle Zheng nted for him in the past. If it goes on like this, even if he feels guilty and forces himself to go on, it will really be over between you. There is no room for turning back!¡± Lin Wenxi said sadly.


    ¡°What room should I have for turning back? Can things get worse? I¡¯d rather want his fake gentle than be a friend all my life and suffer when I see him!¡± Gu Xi sneered.


    ¡°Gu Xi! Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know!¡± ¡°You¡¯re trying to free him! You¡¯re only trying to free him now! You want to offset what he did, so you don¡¯t owe him anything, do you? I want him to owe you!¡± Lin Wenxi said ruthlessly.


    ¡°Oh, what about Zhang Dong? Does Zhang Dong still owe you?¡± Gu Xi asked with a smile.


    ¡°Zhang Dong...¡± Lin Wenxi was silent for a moment.


    Gu Xi said slowly and expressionlessly. Only then did Lin Wenxi understand that the pain and evil he suffered in the past should be several times on Gu Xi.


    ¡°At that time, I also asked you how you felt when Zhao Yuan did that to you... I thought it would be very happy... But I, I only had an impulse to die... I hate... Wenxi, I hate... But... In the end, how can I hate him?!!¡± Gu Xi sobbed.


    Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t help holding Gu Xi, with tears flowing straight.


    ¡°I, I really want to be friends with him and forget the past. I just want to... I just want to apany him, but God won¡¯t even give me such an opportunity now!¡± Gu Xi suddenly coughed violently.


    ¡°Stop talking and have a good rest.¡± Lin Wenxi gently patted Gu Xi¡¯s back, and his heart had been twisted and extremely painful.


    ¡°I can¡¯t hate him, so I can only hate myself... I want to tell him that I don¡¯t me him, but I can¡¯t say! Even if I don¡¯t me him, he can¡¯t let go of himself. Why I can¡¯t have a chance to be friends with him? I just want to die. Why should I be saved?¡± Gu Xi kept crying.


    ¡°Zheng Kai, did you really did him?¡± Outside, Wang Xiang could not help blurting out and immediately regretted.


    A loud p fell on Wang Xiang¡¯s face. Zhang An¡¯an was so angry that her chest fluctuated violently.


    ¡°Great!¡± Wang Xiang hated to say that and he immediately pped himself several times by himself and rushed out of the crowd.

 Chapter 150 (Why Is It you Every Time?) Protect the Companions Due to Heroic Spirit

    <h4>Chapter 150 (Why Is It you Every Time?) Protect the Companions Due to Heroic Spirit</h4>


    On the same day, Chen Wanxin suddenly came to look for Lin Wenxi and showed him some pictures.


    Photographs showed different models of mobile phones. It fixed in the deleted text messages, each of which was a different number and it was the task of Zhao Yuan sent by Mo¡¯s family.


    ¡°The tasks sent out by Mo¡¯s family are usually deleted immediately. They are kept for only three days before they arepletely destroyed. Only these are the ones I can photograph.¡±


    Lin Wenxi looked at thest photo, which was just only a few words, ¡°Tomorrow night, City A, must ask the whereabouts of the file. Address: XXXX.¡±


    In the previous photo, the task was, ¡°City A, escort to leave.¡± ¡°City A, transfer the destination.¡± Obviously, Zhao Yuan had sessfullypleted several tasks.


    ¡°How to do it depends on you.¡± Chen Wanxin smiled and handed over a piece of paper and pen. ¡°Here you are. Copy the address.¡±


    ¡°Flower Road, No. XXX...¡± After Lin Wenxi finished copying the address, Chen Wanxin was unhappy to leave.


    ¡°Cunning!¡± Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t help hating to say. In this way, Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t keep a little evidence, and even the address was written by himself. The only so-called evidence in hand now was a few tickets from a small town with the name and date scraped off to City A.


    Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t think too much, because it was in a hurry. He immediately contacted Hong Xuan.


    ¡°These days, you really did not find Zhao Yuan¡¯s whereabouts? Don¡¯t you know what he did?¡± Lin Wenxi asked aloud.


    ¡°I have my own arrangements,¡± Hong Xuan said.


    ¡°Where are your inferiors going tonight? To catch Zhao Yuan, right? You don¡¯t want to stop him, but wait to catch them all, right!¡± Lin Wenxi roared.


    ¡°Wenxi, how did you know?¡± Hong Xuan asked.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter! What on earth are you going to do? Uncle Hong Xuan, we reached an agreement that you would stop Zhao Yuan whatever he did. It is enough to stop him!¡± Lin Wenxi was in such a hurry that he did not know what to do.


    ¡°Wenxi, you are too emotional. I have been waiting here for a long time. Tonight, we should not only catch Zhao Yuan, but also the doctors transferred by him, as well as some people in Mo¡¯s family! Zhao Yuan ising soon!¡± Hong Xuan said without hesitation.


    ¡°Uncle Hong Xuan, let him go. If you stop him once, Mo¡¯s family may not assign any more tasks. You needn¡¯t do it!¡± Lin Wenxi was so anxious that he couldn¡¯t hold his feet. He ran out immediately.


    ¡°Just wait calmly! It is a crime to work for Mo¡¯s family! Also, don¡¯t bother to send news secretly, because Zhao Yuan is using the new mobile phone number to contact Mo¡¯s family!¡±


    The phone hung up.


    Zhao Yuan¡¯s phone had really never been answered.


    Lin Wenxi rushed downstairs quickly, suddenly remembered that he had forgotten his money, so he turned back to his dormitory and stuffed all the cash into his wallet, and ran out in a hurry.


    ¡°Wenxi, he...¡± Zheng Kai just now came back from the hospital and asked Wang Xiang.


    Wang Xiang shrugged his shoulders and Zheng Kai hurried to follow Lin Wenxi. Wang Xiang followed him together.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to do something. What do you do? Go back!¡± Zheng Kai was very dissatisfied.


    Wang Xiang shrugged again.


    Zheng Kai did not have time to say more, but saw that Lin Wenxi stopped a taxi, and he took another taxi. ¡°Keep up with that car with the license te number! It¡¯s my friend!¡±


    Wang Xiang nervously looked at Zheng Kai. ¡°What do you know?¡±


    Zheng Kai shook his head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know. I only know that Wenxi is dangerous recently.¡±


    ¡°Since you don¡¯t know anything, why are you so anxious!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s none of business!¡±


    ¡°It is worthy that he recognized you as his brother.¡± Wang Xiang was envious.


    ¡°You can also do it,¡± Zheng Kai said casually.


    A big face was attached to Zheng Kai¡¯s arm, ¡°Brother Kai, hello.¡±


    Zheng Kai pped his hand on Wang Xiang¡¯s head. ¡°Useless! Don¡¯t treat me like a woman!¡±


    ¡°Even if you have recognized Lin Wenxi as your brother, would you really be so good to him ording to your bad temper? I guess, because you treated Gu Xi like that, then you felt guilty, and you couldn¡¯t get along with Gu Xi. So you make up for Gu Xi¡¯s confidant, Lin Wenxi, right?¡±


    ¡°Zhou Youlin¡¯s fatherter found Xue Gongcan¡¯s sister. Although Xue Gongcan¡¯s grandfather opposed it, he was still with Zhou Youlin. Perfect ending. Do you like it?¡± Zheng Kai said with a smile.


    ¡°Zheng Kai! Can you not go to see thest episode of the TV series I saved every time?¡± Wang Xiang was so depressed that he was about to shed tears.


    ¡°NO. I watched the film you saved in Believing Brother Chun to Get Eternal Life from the head to the toe,¡± Zheng Kai smiled, looking at the front, and casually said.


    ¡°Zheng Kai, Zheng Kai, I, I...¡± Wang Xiang was so depressed that he almost didn¡¯t breathe.


    The two were joking in the car for a while, and Wang Xiang secretly asked Zheng Kai, ¡°Do you have any money with you?¡±


    Zheng Kai immediately looked displeased. ¡°Keep your voice down.¡±


    On the way, Wang Xiang answered a phone call from Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°Is Wenxi out of the dormitory?¡± Chen Wanxin asked in a low voice.


    ¡°Yes, he¡¯s going to study by himself again, but it seems that he¡¯s not in good spirits,¡± Wang Xiang said.


    ¡°OK, I see,¡± Chen Wanxin said briefly.


    As the car went farther and farther, Zheng Kai and Wang Xiang could not help but look imposing, as if he was going out of town.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi should go there. Boss Zhang, inform Zhao Yuan and change his address,¡± Chen Wanxin said calmly on the phone.


    ¡°What task is to be assigned to him?¡±


    ¡°Except our people, whoever would enter in, p him ten times! Let¡¯s see whether he could do it!¡± Chen Wanxin gave a cold smile.


    Boss Zhang hung up to call another person and said so.


    ¡°It may be not that difficult to fool Lin Wenxi out of school. Did he with these efforts go to City A just for several ps? It really leaves them room. It¡¯s a little girl¡¯s thought!¡± There was a loudugh on the phone.


    Two cars were speeding along the highways of the two cities. Night had fallen and the front car disappeared at the turning.


    Zheng Kai hastily urged, ¡°Keep up! If you can¡¯t drive, I can do it! ¡±


    The driverined calmly, ¡°Get off the car to drive by the current, okay?¡±


    After he said, a loud band was heard. The whole world began to shake. Zheng Kai hurriedly hugged Wang Xiang, who was chewing gum bubbles, into his arms and covered his head with both hands.


    When the body stabilized, Zheng Kai moved his feet and struggled hard to get up. He found that the car was close to the guardrail on the side of the road and med out. As for the driver who was lying on the steering wheel, shaking his head constantly and trying to wake himself up.


    ¡°F*ck!¡± Zheng Kai shouted angrily and lifted Wang Xiang in his arms. ¡°Are you pretending to be dead?¡± He pointed to the chewing gum sticking to his chest and the moisture, feeling rather gloomy, but Wang Xiang¡¯s eyes were swollen and red, and his tears fell like broken pearls.


    ¡°You won¡¯t die even if you swallowed the gum! Why are you afraid of such a small deal?¡± Zheng Kai was outraged.


    ¡°Brother Kai...¡± Wang Xiang sighed.


    ¡°Sir, are you alive? The door on my side is broken. Can you open it on your side?¡± Zheng Kai pushed a Wang Xiang again and said, ¡°Stop mourning! Push your door!¡±


    ¡°Brother Kai...¡± Wang Xiang whispered, and suddenly fell into Zheng Kai¡¯s arms, crying.


    ¡°What are you doing? Zheng Kai was confused.


    ¡°Why?¡± Wang Xiang was crying hoarsely. At that time, Wang Xiang had not realized, only felt warm. It turned out his whole body was covered in Zheng Kai¡¯s bosom. No matter how bumpy the car was, Wang Xiang¡¯s body waspletely undamaged, but he saw Zheng Kai¡¯s forehead, arm, and neck were scratched and bruised.


    ¡°What? Let¡¯s go out to see which b*stard did it first!¡± Zheng Kai was holding Wang Xiang¡¯s clothes on his back, but he could not drag him.


    ¡°Why did you protect others every time there was a danger? Why did you have to fight against so many people when Wenxi was in danger? Why would you help Wanxin stop the knife? Our lives matter, and didn¡¯t your life matter?¡± Wang Xiang held Zheng Kai in his arms and kept crying.


    ¡°You are so weak and would hinder me, which is why I like to fight alone!¡± Zheng Kai said indignantly.


    ¡°Brother Kai, I feel bad!¡± Wang Xiang sobbed. ¡°If something happens to you, I will not live!¡±


    ¡°You f*cking...¡± Zheng Kai was speechless for a moment. He kept pushing the door with his elbow. After a while, he pulled out a safety hammer from the back seat and shouted at Wang Xiang, ¡°Get back.¡±


    Wang Xiang did not move.


    ¡°It¡¯s important to do business. You b*stard, don¡¯t follow me next time!¡± Zheng Kai pulled Wang Xiang, who embraced his waist and abdomen like a twisted lollipop, but he refused to let go.


    Zheng Kai inexplicably recalled that Gu Xi was disgruntled in the past. He was neither angry nor scolding. He could not help saying ¡°Be good¡±. Gu Xi immediately turned angry into happy. He cleared his throat and his facial muscles twitched. ¡°Be good...¡±


    Wang Xiang shouted God, jumped up and huddled back. He hugged himself tightly, and could not help smoothing the goosebumps on his body.¡±


    ¡°B*stard!¡± Zheng Kai muttered and made a sudden effort. After several times, he finally broke the window and cleared away the residual ss debris. Then he barely got out and looked at the road. There was no one on the street.


    This area was a traffic blind area, without street lights, and even the road signs had been damaged. In light of it, it was impossible to catch up with Lin Wenxi again.


    Deep in the dark of the night, Luo Yang asked curiously, ¡°Boss Mo, we could speed up to hit it to the bottom of cliff, since it was deste here. Our driver was absolutely capable! Those who stood in the way were just disgusted with life.¡±


    Mo Qian smiled but said nothing, thinking in his heart, ¡°Zheng Kai, your coat saved everyone¡¯s life in the car.¡±


    County A.


    ¡°Uncle Hong Xuan, did Zhao Yuane over? I aming!¡± Lin Wenxi said on the phone. Road Flower was such arge street. Lin Wenxi looked at the address and raised his head. The building number brand was strikingly hanging on the wall. It should be in such a downtown area.


    ¡°He hasn¡¯t been here! Those who were tracking Zhao Yuan had a car ident. Wenxi, it should be revealed.¡± Hong Xuan looked very sad.


    ¡°I¡¯m outside the door. Wait for me to discuss it,¡± Lin Wenxi said, pushing open the door of the warehouse.


    The cold sharp knife rested on the neck, and his belongings were quickly taken away.


    The lights inside instantly made him dazzling, but Lin Wenxi clearly saw that a group of unfamiliar people with angry eyes, holding knives or sticks, or lying or holding, or smoking or pinching beer bottles, which was in a state of disorder.


    And Zhao Yuan was standing in the middle.

 Chapter 140 (Not Hers, But His) A False Relationship Became True

    <h4>Chapter 140 (Not Hers, But His) A False Rtionship Became True</h4>


    ¡°Fate,¡± Lin Wenxi said with a smile.


    Zhao Yuan turned around to leave.


    ¡°Have you really joined the Mo family?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°Wenxi, now that you and I have to go our separate ways, you can stop.¡± The tall man spoke cold words.


    Spring wasing, but why was Lin Wenxi¡¯s heart so cold?


    ¡°In the end, we still meet each other. I still remember that I ended up in the same ce as you when I found a part-time job. When I chose a remote and poor ce to teach, I happened to go to your hometown. Zhao Yuan, in this life, you can never escape from me,¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°Wenxi, when was the first time you went here?¡± Zhao Yuan asked.


    ¡°Two weeks ago.¡± Lin Wenxi answered frankly.


    Zhao Yuan left peacefully.


    Mo Qian was very satisfied with Zhao Yuan¡¯s reply this time. He smiled and said to Chen Wanxin, ¡°Wanxin, Zhao Yuan could even betray Lin Wenxi. You can rest assured and let him join the Mo family.¡±


    ¡°Fortunately, I ran into Wenxi. Otherwise, it would be moreplicated.¡± Zhao Yuan could not help secretly feeling delighted at such a stroke of luck. ¡°Two weeks ago, Lin Wenxi was here. After such a long time, given their strength, the Mo family must have already known who had been here to investigate. Therefore, the action they have taken was unnecessary. It was nothing but their test of loyalty. However, they used Lin Wenxi to test me. Was it Wanxin¡¯s idea or someone behind her?¡± Zhao Yuan thought with a meaningful smile.


    Chen Wanxin decided all at once. Upon seeing Zhao Yuan, she took out a few photos that the Mo family had taken to make guarantees.


    ¡°Yuan, let it go,¡± said Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°Finally, you admit that you have connections with the Mo family.¡± Zhao Yuan chuckled, browsing the photos without batting an eyelid. In fact, Zhao Yuan was shocked upon seeing these photos. Each of them was evidence of a bloody crime. He had never expected that there secretly happened so many filthy and bloody things behind this brightly-lit bustling city, and he would be one of the people who did all those things, living in the silt and abyss of the dark side. ¡°Zhang Dong must have been sent by the Mo family, but why did the Mo family want to kill my father? In addition to the murder my fathermitted, there is only the disaster that ruined my family. But who is behind all of this?¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you tell me before that if we joined hands, we could do great things together? The things in those photos are the great things you talked about, right?¡± Zhao Yuan chuckled with a cold smile.


    His words made Chen Wanxin¡¯s blood freeze. For a moment, she was speechless as if a fishbone had gotten stuck in her throat.


    ¡°Wanxin, what else do you know?¡± Zhao Yuan threw the photos. Lying on the sofa, he smoked in silence. With a faint smile on his face, Zhao Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Little by little, he outlined Chen Wanxin in detail with his eyes.


    Zhao Yuan¡¯s calm but pressing gaze made Chen Wanxin feel as if her heart was being ground relentlessly until it became bits of flesh mixed with blood. ¡°Zhao Yuan must know something. Is he waiting for me to confess to give me a chance? If not, why would he say ¡®admit that you have connections with the Mo family?¡¯ Right, he knows it already. But what else does he know?¡±


    Chen Wanxin did her best to keep a calm exterior and went to sit by Zhao Yuan¡¯s side. Holding his waist and clinging tight to his chest, she said, ¡°Yuan, hold me tight.¡±


    Like holding a rag doll, Zhao Yuan hugged Chen Wanxin closely, but his face was as cold as iron.


    ¡°Yuan, tonight, let me be your woman.¡± Looking into Zhao Yuan¡¯s eyes, Chen Wanxin¡¯s tears flowed down. At this time, she intended to tell Zhao Yuan everything honestly.


    ¡°Wanxin, if you give me all the information only in exchange for sex, then forget it. Don¡¯t you feel that you will be wronged by doing so?¡± Zhao Yuan stubbed out his cigarette and tried to say those words as gentle as possible. ¡°One step away. She knows everything. I am now just one step away from knowing the truth!¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t feel it is unworthy! I will never feel wronged! Now I won¡¯t feel embarrassed even if you want me to kneel and beg you! Yuan, you are the man I want most in my heart. Even though I may not be lucky enough to marry you in the future, I still hope that you are the one who will have my virginity!¡± Chen Wanxin said with a hoarse voice.


    ¡°Wanxin, you don¡¯t have to be like this. Many people like you. A¡¯kai is the best one among them. Trust me. When you look back, he will definitely be there waiting for you.¡± Finally, Zhao Yuan felt touched somewhere in his heart, so he exposed his true feelings.


    ¡°I feel obliged to him for everything he did for me, but I cannot deceive myself into loving him because I know very well that I don¡¯t love him! Yuan, I don¡¯t know when I started to like you and love you so much. It was your appearance that took my fancy at first, but gradually, I know very well that I will always love you even if you have changed beyond recognition. You are my beloved one no matter whether you are indifferent or passionate.¡± Crying, Chen Wanxin folded her arms around Zhao Yuan, and she could no longer hold her tears back. At this moment, as long as Zhao Yuan could give her a little bit of response, she would be willing to die immediately.


    In the deathly silence, only Chen Wanxin¡¯s cries could be heard.


    After a while, Chen Wanxin suddenly felt her body rising up into the air. At first, she was surprised, then, she felt delighted. Wrapping around Zhao Yuan¡¯s neck, she trembled with fear.


    Zhao Yuan stood up steadily and carried Chen Wanxin to the bedroom. With one hand resting on the bed, he looked at Chen Wanxin carefully and then suddenly kissed her deeply.


    Ceaselessly, Zhao Yuan searched his mind for every twinkle and smile of Lin Wenxi. Zhao Yuan thought of Lin Wenxi¡¯s long eyebrows and his single-fold eyelids that looked mischievous and depressed. His looks when he pouted, when he was angry, and when he was at a loss whether to cry or tough now all entered Zhao Yuan¡¯s mind. All of a sudden, Zhao Yuan understood that his physiological reaction was much more honest than his brain. Zhao Yuan remembered Lin Wenxi¡¯s hot body in the depth of that blurred night. Then, he could no longer restrain the desire for sex in his body, which was as fierce as flood or savage beasts.


    ¡°The groans are definitely not hers, but his.¡±


    ¡°The fine and slim hands also belong to Wenxi.¡±


    ¡°The pair of tearful eyes are still Wenxi¡¯s.¡±


    In the hazympshades, Zhao Yuan seemed to have an illusion because the person in front of him looked exactly the same as Lin Wenxi, no matter whether it was his outline of the cheeks or his manner! ¡°Wenxi!¡± Zhao Yuan shouted out loud in his heart.


    Aroused by affection, but Zhao Yuan could not terminate his desire by decency. Their bones intertwined. After an all-night rave, Zhao Yuan could no longer remember who the woman before him was.


    Chen Wanxin held Zhao Yuan tight. With tears and a smile, she fell asleep with satisfaction.


    ¡°I am the daughter of Chen Tianjiao. My father, the deputy secretary of the small city, is in charge of the city construction and public security in several ces. My father has a cousin who used to stay in the army. Usually, I call him uncle. My uncle is in charge of the family business now, but I rarely see him because my father never allows me to get involved in anything rted to the family.


    ¡°I learned about the existence of the Mo family when I was in high school, but I didn¡¯t know what kind of organization it was until a boy molested me at school. I didn¡¯t dare to tell my father and only mentioned it to my uncle unintentionally. Later on, someone cut off the boy¡¯s hand outside the school, but the suspect said nothing. He just took the boy¡¯s hand away in the dark. No one could find out who the suspect was.


    ¡°However, my uncle showed me the photo of his arm once. They fed the arm to dogs. However, I didn¡¯t feel scared at all! From that time on, I knew what I can use to get whatever I wanted.


    ¡°The Mo family is arge organization. The MO Capital is just one of the liaison bars. Usually, I onlymunicate with the boss of the bar, Zhang Xilian. Any grievance I have suffered, he will send someone to handle that when I tell him. Zhang Xilian has many people working for him. Zhang Dong is basically one of them. Luo Yang is also one of them, and he already made his guarantee a long time ago. But Zhang Dong always wanted to back out. Eventually, I guess he must have been forced to do those things... But I know nothing else. I just know that Zhang Dong killed your father. I feel afraid all the time. The Mo family not only does things for the family but also always takes cooperation tasks from outside. The Mo family can send thugs or killers and will leave no trace of crimes as long as the bounty is high enough. I also nned to ask Zhang Xilian and even my uncle. However, I am afraid they will think that I am on your side wholeheartedly such that they will even make me cut all the ties with you. But Yuan, you are just as important as my life!¡± Laying her head on Zhao Yuan¡¯s chest, Chen Wanxin burst into tears.


    ¡°Yuan, there will be no turning back for you once you have joined the Mo family because you have tomit a major crime or a murder to make your guarantee. Sometimes, you need to conceal your identity or even change your voice. They will resort to every conceivable means to make full use of you! What¡¯s worse, once you have joined the Mo family and they notice that you are no longer loyal to them, they will assign you to deal with people who are closest to you except your families. For example, they will send you to harm your confidantes, your closest friends, and your buddies. If they want you to deal with Lin Wenxi one day, what will you do?¡± Chen Wanxin asked. ¡°They always have the means to put pressure on you!¡±


    ¡°No, I have nothing at all now so they have nothing they can threaten me with. Besides, the Mo family has already sent me to tail Wenxi. I havepleted this task and passed their loyalty check. Wanxin, I don¡¯t care whether you are here trying to test my loyalty on behalf of the Mo family or you are sincerely looking out for me, I will thank you for all of this. As for Wenxi, we have already gone our separate ways! In the future, as long as I can avenge my parents and I am still lucky enough to stay alive after that, I will follow thest words of my dad. I will marry you and spend my remaining years with you till death,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan! Since when did you be so naive and ignorant! How can you deal with strangers that you don¡¯t know and even some children who are only a few years old! Do you really want to cover your hands with their blood? Zhao Yuan, think carefully!¡± Chen Wanxin cried out loud.


    ¡°I am waiting for the next task that the Mo family will give me.¡± Zhao Yuan said coldly and strode out.


    Chen Wanxin covered her chest, and she tried so hard to control her distress. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Zhao Yuan. I still lied to you!¡±


    Chen Wanxin knew perfectly well that if she told him everything she heard from her parents, he would use all kinds of crazy means to take revenge on Mo Qian, or even her parents, risking his own life. Zhao Yuan was fierce and powerful when he was fighting with one opponent, but how could hepete with bodyguards who have loaded guns? Chen Wanxin feared that Zhao Yuan would die with hatred even before he met Mo Qian. At the thought of that, she just could not let it happen.


    But she had never expected that Zhao Yuan would even betray Lin Wenxi. For the first time, Chen Wanxin hoped that Zhao Yuan would still care about Lin Wenxi and care about everything concerning Lin Wenxi.


    Chen Wanxin thought to herself, ¡°Has Zhao Yuan fallen into such a low state for real? Or, is it a two-person show? No, no way. The look on Lin Wenxi¡¯s face when he stared at Zhao Yuan was definitely not fake.¡±

 Chapter 141 (It Was Not Mine) Would Rather Miss the Childhood Sweetheart

    <h4>Chapter 141 (It Was Not Mine) Would Rather Miss the Childhood Sweetheart</h4>


    ¡°Wenxi, whose is this?¡± Holding a small statue of Beita, the new roommate questioned, ¡°I thought it was Gu Xi¡¯s at first.¡±


    Gu Xi who was next to him also look at Lin Wenxi with confuse.


    ¡°Since I¡¯m new here, I want to clean the whole bed thoroughly. I saw this in the seam at the end of the bed,¡± the new roommate said.


    Lin Wenxi felt that his blood hadpletely solidified.


    When parted in the past, Fangfang took Lin Wenxi to the only toy store in the countryside. They both liked the statues of Shuke and Beita at the same time, which were the most expensive ¡°treasure of the town shop¡±. Lin Wenxi touched his skirts and, knowing that he, at a young age, would never be able to afford tens of yuan that he had never imagined. However, he loved it too much to bear to part with it. Beta identally dropped to the ground and the ear was broken. The shopkeeper was so angry that he must take Lin Wenxi to meet his parents.


    Fangfang turned to his home and took a piggy bank. He smashed it in front of him, and took out all the money in it, saying with confidence, ¡°Keep the change!¡±


    The shopkeeper turned angry and saw the children out of the house with making clicks.


    Fangfang gave Shuke to Lin Wenxi and left Beta for himself.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t recognize meter, you can recognize it,¡± Fangfang said at that time.


    Unexpectedly, no more than a monthter, Fangfang moved to another ce with his whole family. Lin Wenxi had been chasing him with Shuke for a long time, and could only watch the two trucks go away in the distance. Young Lin Wenxi, for the first time, tasted the sadness of parting. The pain was erged until he saw Beita again.


    ¡°This is yours, isn¡¯t it?¡± Lin Wenxi smiled and said to Zhao Yuan in tears, handing the statue over. Time flew. Over the years, two people diverged from each other, and did not expect what the fate it was!


    Zhao Yuan was shocked secretly. The statue, which he brought to the university, seemed to have been lost for a long time. Experiencing a lot, he had forgotten its existence. He only remembered that it was shared by a child who often yed together when he was a child, but he did not remember the child¡¯s name and appearance clearly. It was Lin Wenxi who went to the governmentpound that time. Zhao Yuan vaguely remembered the birch tree there, and that when he was young, he should have been there several times.


    Looking at Lin Wenxi, Zhao Yuan immediately realized that he should be the owner of another statue.


    There is no story without coincidences in such a big world.


    Zhao Yuan grinned bitterly in his heart. When he saw Lin Wenxi for the first time in his dormitory, he had an intimate knowledge of him. It had really been a long time to reunite for more than a decade.


    At that time, how old was Lin Wenxi? Zhao Yuan¡¯s memory was not clear. He only knew that there always seemed to be a child looking out of the window when he passed by.


    Always, he was alone.


    He looked like in prison.


    When Zhao Yuan thought of the story of selling children, he asked his mother, Liu Xuehua. Liu Xuehua only said at that time, ¡°Here are the ces where officials live. They won¡¯t sell children. Probably, this child doesn¡¯t want to go out to y. You can go to y with him.


    At that time, Zhao Yuan ran to the bottom of the window and asked him, ¡°Why don¡¯t youe out to y?¡±


    The child just shook his head.


    ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±


    The child still shook his head.


    Little Zhao Yuan could not help running into the courtyard for the first time. He directly ran into the room and pulled the child out.


    The child seemed not good at ying mud, ying house, ying basketball and so on, but he could draw in the sand, which was always good.


    It was him.


    The distant memory seemed to be awakened. Zhao Yuan thought that he wanted to protect the child for the first time in his life. ¡°But he... Why did he call me Fangfang? I never remembered such a name.¡±


    But what was the use? The two diagonal lines met, crossed and flew to different ces.


    It was just an ident.


    ¡°What... is this?¡± Zhao Yuan looked at Lin Wenxi with some curiosity.


    ¡°You don¡¯t recognize it? That¡¯s what was found in the seam of your bed!¡± Lin Wenxi shouted.


    Zhao Yuan shook his head. ¡°I¡¯ve never had such a child¡¯s thing. Don¡¯t you want to give it to me?¡±


    ¡°Are you sure it¡¯s not yours?¡±


    ¡°No. Gu Xi is sleeping in my bed. It¡¯s his,¡± Zhao Yuan said thoughtfully.


    ¡°This is my childhood ymate, Fangfang¡¯s. I have a Shuke and he has a Beita. This little Beta mouse had been smashed by me. That¡¯s his! Moreover, Gu Xi doesn¡¯t understand the dialect of our hometown at all! He has never been to Yangzi County!¡± Lin Wenxi still did not believe in him.


    ¡°This is really not mine,¡± Zhao Yuan said coldly.


    ¡°Then tell me, whose will it be?¡± Lin Wenxi asked angrily.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Zhao Yuan shook his head slightly. ¡°I¡¯m busy.¡±


    ¡°Zhao Yuan! You don¡¯t admit it! Why don¡¯t you admit it?¡± Lin Wenxi grabbed Zhao Yuan¡¯s neckband tightly. His eyes were torn and his tears slowed down.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want you to mistake me for somebody else. You asked me if I was Fangfang before, but I really don¡¯t remember that I was Fangfang. You asked me again about this statue. Wenxi, Is there such a coincidence in the world?¡± Zhao Yuan asked calmly.


    Lin Wenxi was so disappointed that he gave Zhao Yuan a hard push, ¡°Zhao Yuan! You had better not recognize me in your whole life!¡± Turning around and running, he pounced heavily on the ground carelessly. The statue on his hand fell in response. Lin Wenxi struggled to get it. A bicycle wheel ran over his finger and his palm was suddenly smeared with blood by the statue. The man who rode a bicycle was probably afraid of causing trouble. He elerated and left without looking back.


    Lin Wenxi held the statue tightly and sadly sat down on the steps. Zhao Yuan had left without trace.


    At the distant corner of the street, a man was riding a bicycle, and was somewhat uneasy. In front of him stood a handsome young man with a somber face in the driveway he wanted to pass. The man rang the bell and screamed, ¡°Get out of the way. Get out!¡±


    The bicycle stopped abruptly, and the young man turned a deaf ear to him, but stared at him coldly with eyes sh like lightening.


    ¡°What are you doing? Can¡¯t you hear me?¡± The man was a little annoyed.


    ¡°Now you know stop?¡± The young man gave a cold smile.


    ¡°What can I do if you are so stupid here? I got something to do.¡± The man seemed to feel the anger of the youth, and he turned the left front wheel, ready to go forward again. But he himself, with the bike, was kicked down. His forehead had been punched before he realized.


    ¡°F*ck you!¡± The man was angry, trying to struggle, but suddenly he understood what kind of opponent and what kind of rage he was facing.


    ¡°Don¡¯t fight...¡± The man¡¯s face was bloody, his eyes were red and swollen, and his mouth was muttering and unable to speak clearly.


    The fist was still hitting like iron, and the man has no strength to cover his head and fight. He watched his fist hit him with one and another punch. He felt that he was going to die today.


    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Several policemen came up with batons and shouted. When they arrived, therey a dying man on the ground. The talented young man had already disappeared.


    MO Capital.


    ¡°Just let you go to the auto show to intercept a person and send a document. Why can¡¯t you do this well?¡± The shopkeeper, Boss Zhang looked a little angry.


    ¡°Something unexpected happened. It¡¯s not a big deal anyway. Tell me the next assignment.¡± Zhao Yuan seemed a little impatient.


    ¡°City A, take an attending physician of this hospital to this address,¡± Boss Zhang said with augh. Subsequently, Zhao Yuan¡¯s mobile phone received a text message with an unfamiliar number. The task above was clearly written.


    ¡°Fine.¡± Zhao Yuan nodded.


    Imperial Capital Building.


    ¡°Is it Lin Wenxi again? In that case, I should go and see the boy by myself.¡± Mo Qian smiled coldly.

 Chapter 142 (Do Not Mix Personal Feelings in It) Flying Home-returning Birds Due to Deeply Love

    <h4>Chapter 142 (Do Not Mix Personal Feelings in It) Flying Home-returning Birds Due to Deeply Love</h4>


    ¡°Wenxi, I¡¯m here to thank you.¡± Near the pool on campus, Zhou Nannan smiled. The early spring breeze brushed her cheeks. She was beautiful and lovely, and had a baby face and a pair of dimples.


    ¡°It¡¯s no big deal. I¡¯m just doing my best,¡± Lin Wenxi said tly.


    ¡°Juanjuan... She can¡¯t say anything grateful. She made a mistake and was very regretful, but it was her grandmother that threatened her to leave me with her life. She was in a hurry and ate something bad. And she drove on the road to vent her anger, otherwise it won¡¯t be like this...¡± Zhou Nannan said with tears.


    ¡°How to deal with it?¡± Lin Wenxi asked calmly.


    ¡°We hired the bestwyer, and alsopensated arge sum of money to the families, and then... Change the traffic police appraisal at that time. Change what she ate to... Red Bull... The division of responsibilities has also been dealt with. I know it¡¯s not good... But... I really can¡¯t bear Juanjuan...¡± Zhou Nannan lowered her head.


    ¡°It¡¯s very good. It is Wanxin who has means,¡± Lin Wenxi said with a smile.


    ¡°No, the way of Wanxin is often some bad way... Juanjuan knew it for a long time, but Juanjuan¡¯s parents had been very tired working in Wanxin¡¯s family. They wanted to leave Wanxin¡¯s family for a long time, but they couldn¡¯t for a while,¡± Zhou Nannan said hesitatingly.


    ¡°Juanjuan said, since you could think of this method, there must be a way... So... She let me ask you, too,¡± Zhou Nannan said shyly.


    ¡°Let her parents keep the bottom line. As for others, I¡¯m an ordinary person. I don¡¯t have any idea.¡± Lin Wenxi looked at Zhou Nannan cautiously.


    ¡°But, once this is over, Juanjuan said that her parents would be more entangled, and she was worried about what might happen,¡± Zhou Nannan said eagerly.


    ¡°Nannan, I don¡¯t have any good idea for a while, but since you have this idea, I will remember it. I wille to you when I have a chance in the future.¡± Lin Wenxi smiled gently.


    Zhou Nannan nodded. ¡°I don¡¯t know how to repay you.¡±


    ¡°Be Lady White Snake in the afterlife.¡± Lin Wenxi smiled.


    Zhou Nannan grinned happily and left.


    ¡°Uncle Hong Xuan, did you keep the file of all the evidence for the ident?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°Yes, I did. The evidence is clear. The Chen family sent theirwyers and threatened the families of the victims. Your ssmates whomitted the crime have been released. What are you going to do?¡± Hong Xuan asked.


    ¡°Give everything to Dad. He should know how to do it,¡± Lin Wenxi said, and suddenly saw in the distant forest, Wang Zhengjuan and Zhou Nannan hand in hand, quietly watching the fish in the water. In the sunshine, Zhou Nannan¡¯s smile was bright like pearls. He saw Wang Zhengjuan gently stroking Zhou Nannan¡¯s long hair. Zhou Nannan turned around and held Wang Zhengjuan¡¯s hand. They looked at each other and smiled.


    Time seemed to be still in those gentle hands.


    Another slight rain came down slowly.


    Flying flowers free like the dream, endless rain thin like the sorrow. In such early spring, there was a pair of couple, like a painting. It rained with the sun. Did the rainugh, or the sun weep?


    In Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes, tears suddenly appeared.


    ¡°Uncle Hong Xuan, don¡¯t give it to my father,¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°Why? With this, at least we can let Chen Family lose again and dare not show up in a short time!¡± Hong Xuan said.


    ¡°Have you ever heard of cutting the weeds and dig up the roots? Why should we let them not show up? You must keep the evidence in good condition. Once we have the chance, we will fight in many directions. Don¡¯t forget that there seems to be some movement in City A. The fox¡¯s tail ising out soon,¡± Lin Wenxi said with a smile.


    ¡°Since you have a n, I will listen to you first, but you should not mix any personal feelings in it, which is not worth it!¡± Hong Xuan calmly reminded.


    ¡°Fine.¡± Lin Wenxi was silent. In the distant sky, a pair of birds flew by, and then rushed to the distant high altitude. The pair of figures pointed to the sky, farther and farther away.


    Well, go on. Lin Wenxi smiled and took out the pair of statues to y


    With clear water and breeze, sunshine and rain, Lin Wenxi greedily breathed the rare atmosphere, and he saw Gu Xi standing beside the water alone.


    ¡°Today, everybody¡¯s out.¡± Lin Wenxi greeted Gu Xi with a smile.


    Gu Xi came with moonlight and sat down gracefully in the bright light.


    ¡°You really still live in winter.¡± Lin Wenxi had tidied Gu Xi¡¯s cor. In such weather, he still wore a velvet jacket. Didn¡¯t he feel hot?


    Gu Xi sighed softly and said, ¡°You are like me.¡± With saying, he took the statue, and carefully stared at it. He liked it so much that he could not bear to part with it for a while.


    Lin Wenxi turned around, looked up, and breathed deeply into the sky. In the white clouds of the blue sky, it seemed to appear Zhao Yuan¡¯s face when he angrily smashed the money jar. The childhood impression was unforgettable over the years. Lin Wenxi, with a smile on his face, turned around, but heard Gu Xi scream in a panic, and then something fell into the pool with a grunt. Lin Wenxi looked at Gu Xi incredibly and forgot what to say. He rushed to the shore to lie down and watched the stone carving sink slowly. He reached out to grab it. His hands fluttered and rippled on the surface of the water, frightening the fish in the water.


    ¡°No...¡± Lin Wenxi cried out with difficulty and turned to look at Gu Xi. His tears had flowed down.


    Gu Xi was already at a loss in embarrassment. He knew that he had made a terrible mistake. He fell down beside Lin Wenxi and his mind was nk.


    Seeing Lin Wenxi dialing the phone crazily, Gu Xi knew that he would not miss anyone except Zhao Yuan at the moment.


    Lin Wenxi¡¯s face grew paler and paler, and soon he was walking impatiently around the pool.


    Gu Xi suddenly had an ominous thought in his heart. He stood up trying to stop something, but it was toote. He watched Lin Wenxi plunge into the water with a painful face. ¡°Can he swim?¡± This was Gu Xi¡¯s first thought. Moreover, Lin Wenxi jumped into the water, did not cry for help, and was trying to reach the bottom of the water.


    Gu Xi climbed to the edge of the pool with joy and some worries. He saw transparent bubbles constantly rising towards the surface of the water. It seemed that Lin Wenxi in the water could not reach the bottom of the water all the time. He was drinking a lot of water! Lin Wenxi had been struggling instinctively in the water, and the bubbles in the water were getting bigger and bigger. The hands exposed to the water were waving wildly.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi!! Help!¡± Gu Xi suddenly responded and burst into tears. He couldn¡¯t help dialing a number he hadn¡¯t touched for a long time. After a few cold words, the answer was only ¡°Wait till Ie.¡±


    ¡°Wenxi, I¡¯m sorry for you! I won¡¯t! I¡¯ll never do it again!¡± Gu Xi wiped his tears. Someone nearby came over. Several people were ready to take off their clothes to go into the water. However, they saw a strange man in his clothes jumping into the water.


    The strange man was holding Lin Wenxi¡¯s head, swimming in the water and slowlynding on the bank.

 Chapter 143 (Do You Seek to Die?) Wenxi Drowned and Kept the Authenticating Object

    <h4>Chapter 143 (Do You Seek to Die?) Wenxi Drowned and Kept the Authenticating Object</h4>


    On the shore, the stranger man was pressing his chest on Lin Wenxi for first aid, and murmuring to Gu Xi, ¡°Artificial respiration.¡±


    Gu Xi flustered up to Lin Wenxi and bowed his head.


    ¡°Don¡¯t do it unless you¡¯re familiar with it. Let me do it.¡± Another man who had just gone to help Lin Wenxi raised his head and leaned down to his mouth.


    Lin Wenxi gave a whoop and spat out a mouthful of dirty water. The middle-aged man who gave him artificial respiration did not avoid it for a moment, and the water was all sprayed into his mouth. The man¡¯s eyes opened wide and he didn¡¯t know what to do. He swallowed the water with a murmur and said in a hurry, ¡°Hurry up and go to the Colonel¡¯s Hospital. Although he is awake, I don¡¯t know if the water entered his brain.¡±


    The man and Gu Xi rushed to the school hospital with Lin Wenxi in their arms. Gu Xi hurriedly contacted Zhang An¡¯an and Shu Xiaoman.


    In the hospital.


    Lin Wenxi began to have a fever, which made him sometimes confused and sometimes sober. He repeatedly shouted, ¡°Fangfang, Fangfang... Zhao Yuan...¡± Although the doctor told that he only choked a lot of water, and because of his weak and cold body, he would recover after a few days¡¯ rest. But it was painful to see that his face became thinner and paler.


    ¡°Fangfang?¡± Gu Xi was puzzled for a moment. What was the rtionship between this stone carving and Fangfang asionally mentioned by Lin Wenxi? Was he Zhao Yuan?


    When Zheng Kai arrived, the strange man nodded and smiled, and said goodbye.


    ¡°Tell me your name for thankster!¡± Zheng Kai said.


    ¡°Mo Qian.¡± The man smiled and said, ¡°I have to go back first.¡± Then he sneezed suddenly. In the early spring, the temperature here was still about ten degrees, so the man was shivering with cold.


    ¡°My name is Zheng Kai!¡± Zheng Kai thought for a moment and dialed. ¡°Wang Xiang, bring some of my clothes to the school hospital!¡±


    Not long afterwards, Wang Xiang ran over. When he saw Lin Wenxi, he asked with a tongue-tied voice, ¡°If he wanted to die in a cold day, he needn¡¯t choose this method.¡±


    When Zheng Kai saw the long johns and clothes, sleeveless jersey, shorts and even... underwear brought by Wang Xiang, he put it directly on Wang Xiang¡¯s head. ¡°Where is your brain?¡±


    ¡°I thought you were going to be hospitalized. You should wear these bedclothes in bed.¡± Wang Xiang felt extremely wronged.


    ¡°Take care of Wenxi, I will take it by myself,¡± Zheng Kai angrily said. Mo Qian smiled politely. ¡°I have something to do, so I have to go first.¡±


    Zheng Kai took off his cotton-padded clothes and handed them to Mo Qian with the long johns Wang Xiang had brought to him. ¡°Brother Qian, put on the clothes. You shouldn¡¯t risk your health for saving others. Turn left and the bathroom was at the end.¡±


    When Mo Qian went out, Wang Xiang snorted. ¡°You are so sweet.¡±


    ¡°Should I be sweeter?¡± Zheng Kai asked.


    ¡°How?¡± Wang Xiang walked closer to Zheng Kai, and his nose tip was less than five centimeters from Zheng Kai.


    ¡°Go to the bathroom... Clean up Brother Qian¡¯s clothes, wash them and leave contact information for him to take, so that he will not carry a pile of wet clothes,¡± Zheng Kai pointed out the door and said.


    ¡°Sh*t! Go yourself! I don¡¯t see you¡¯re so kind to your roommate!¡± Wang Xiang jumped up and said.


    ¡°You¡¯d better behave yourselftely and make amends for one¡¯s crimes by good deeds, Mr. yboy Wang!¡± Zheng Kai said, and kicked behind Wang Xiang¡¯s buttock. Wang Xiang fell forward and went out cursing in his mouth.


    Gu Xi sat coldly beside Lin Wenxi and looked silently at the statue on the table. After a while, he turned and left.


    When Zheng Kai lost his coat, there was only one shirt in it. When the cold wind hit, he thought for a while and opened Lin Wenxi¡¯s quilt and wanted to go in for warmth. Wang Xiang would help himself take his coatter.


    Lin Wenxi suddenly woke up, only to hear a man¡¯s scream and noise at the door. He felt a little stunned and cool. He saw Zheng Kai lifting his quilt and looking straight at himself, and he was naked all over.


    ¡°Zheng Kai!!¡± Lin Wenxi subconsciously opened Zheng Kai¡¯s hand, and wrapped himself up with a quilt. When he was exposed to the wind, he couldn¡¯t support himself andy down weakly.


    Zheng Kai unexpectedly lifted the quilt with a little more energy. He suddenly lifted Lin Wenxi¡¯s quilt from head to foot. He even forgot that after Lin Wenxi fell into the water from outside and entered the hospital, the doctor should take off all his wet clothes. The pile of clothes was still seeping out in the corner of the wall.


    At the door, Zhang An¡¯an, Shu Xiaoman and Zhou Nannan, Wang Xiang who had just returned from the bathroom, and a male doctor who was about to change Lin Wenxi with his sick clothes. They all saw the human spring scene under the quilt.


    ¡°Spring... ising.¡± Shu Xiaoman couldn¡¯t help calling the doctor. Her face turned red first.


    ¡°Xiaoman... called,¡± Zhang An¡¯an whispered.


    ¡°Wenxi... was shy,¡± Wang Xiang said.


    ¡°You... That¡¯s enough!¡± Zheng Kai put his hands on his waist and said to Lin Wenxi, who was flushed on the bed, ¡°Anyway, I haven¡¯t seen anything, but you actually have six small abdominal muscles.¡±


    Everyone hissed.


    ¡°Well... Zheng Kai, that man doesn¡¯t seem to be in the bathroom, and your clothes were taken by him,¡± Wang Xiang said.


    One man, the bathroom, and the clothes. Shu Xiaoman and Zhang An¡¯an looked at Zheng Kai¡¯s single clothes with some delight, thinking of the soul vicle of Lin Wenxi and his long white legs. Their nature was revealed for a moment, and their faces wore the same fascinated smile.


    ¡°Would you like me to take off and show you?¡± Zheng Kai frowned and said.


    ¡°A shaved gori.¡± Zhang An¡¯an can¡¯t help joking. Zheng Kai sat down thoughtfully and looked at the two statues on the table.


    ¡°Well, I¡¯ll get it for you.¡± After Wang Xiang finished, he dared not look directly at Zhang An¡¯an and ran away with his head hunched.


    Lin Wenxi opened his eyes slightly, smiled at Shu Xiaoman and said to An¡¯an, ¡°You are thin.¡±


    Shu Xiaoman frowned, ¡°Now she runs every night, diets and loses weight. She just wants the heartless person.¡±


    Zhang An¡¯an said with a smile, ¡°At least, I have been hurt by someone.¡±


    Shu Xiaoman red at her. ¡°If you are brave to speak it in the face of yboy, you can still be rxed...¡±


    Zhang An¡¯an said, ¡°Flies will stare at stinky eggs and flowers will attract butterflies. Make yourself excellent, then you will have the corresponding brilliance, won¡¯t you?


    ¡°Hum, flowers can attract one or a dozen of butterflies.¡± Shu Xiaomanughed and joked.


    At this moment, Wang Xiang pushed the door in again, holding a thick velvet cloak in his hand.


    ¡°Why are you so fast?¡± Shu Xiaoman was slightly surprised.


    ¡°I saw Gu Xi downstairs, and he gave me his things and left.¡± Wang Xiang hesitated and threw the clothes to Zheng Kai and ran away like receiving an amnesty.


    Gu Xi... Zheng Kai inadvertently sighed slightly.


    With the memory just now, the girls drew a picture of ¡°Spring Pce¡± in their mouths, whileforting Lin Wenxi, which was very noisy.


    Zheng Kai went out to smoke. He took the stone carvings when he entered the door and put them together in the hands of Lin Wenxi, ¡°Wenxi, did you risk your life for this?¡±


    ¡°What do you know?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°This is mine.¡± Zheng Kai pointed to the statue of Beta.


    ¡°Fangfang?¡± Lin Wenxi opened his eyes instantaneously and stared at Zheng Kai in disbelief. He looked at the statue in his hand and saw Zheng Kai. He choked and said, ¡°Why not him?¡±


    ¡°Who?¡± Zheng Kai asked.


    ¡°No...¡± Lin Wenxi pushed Zheng Kai away in a despondent way and said, ¡°It¡¯s not you. It shouldn¡¯t be you.¡±


    ¡°Well, I bought it with a little kid when I was a kid, and I always took it with me. I guess I lost it and when I used it to shoot. I didn¡¯t pay attention to it,¡± Zheng Kai said.


    ¡°You, have you lived in Yangzi County?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°I lived it for a period of time, and then I moved. But I didn¡¯t expect that the kid was you. It was really a fate.¡± Zheng Kai smiled gently.


    ¡°You just took it... to shoot and paly?¡± Lin Wenxi asked in a trembling voice.


    ¡°When I was a child, I always remembered to keep it, and I didn¡¯t know why. Later, when I thought about it, I would y, so I didn¡¯t throw it,¡± Zheng Kai said calmly.


    ¡°When I was young, I couldn¡¯t remember many things. Do you still remember some?¡± Lin Wenxi¡¯s pale face was filled with a smile.


    ¡°Your favorite thing was ying house. I was very rude at that time. Girls in the street didn¡¯t y with me, so I had to carry you around as a bride every time.¡±


    ¡°The por trees, you bury them horizontally in the soil as seeds... Wenxi, you didn¡¯t remember all these things.¡± Zheng Kai couldn¡¯t helpughing.


    Tears dripped from the corner of Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes like lines. It was just so-called fate, so-called providence.


    ¡°You took good care of me at that time, thank you,¡± Lin Wenxi said, and he would not open his mouth again.


    Gu Xi couldn¡¯t help visiting the hospital again. He met Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°You know, Lin Wenxi almost died! Zhao Yuan, you b*stard! He has been unable to get through to your phone. The first person to think of was you. It was you!¡± Gu Xi beat Zhao Yuan hard. The man in front of him made him mad. He suddenly calmed down. It was Zhao Yuan he was beating not so much as Zheng Kai. Although he was sad at the moment because Zhao Yuan didn¡¯t show up when Lin Wenxi needed him most, and it was not worth for Lin Wenxi. But was it worth for himself?¡±


    Lin Wenxi cried out loud. He saw Zhao Yuan¡¯s back in the aisle leaving. He saw Gu Xi catch up with him and beat him up. So he cried and did not know why he was crying. After crying, he felt tired, and fell asleep regardless of the weariness. He thought vaguely that that was it. Just like the military training meeting, he was looking for the fire left by Zhao Yuan, thinking that it was his end, but at the end he saw Chen Wanxin.


    Looking for so long, he always thought that the end point was Zhao Yuan. But due to the destination, the end was Zheng Kai who had been ignoring himself.


    Lin Wenxi felt ufortably blocked and turned around to vomit out. He heard the rushing footstepsing in. Someone squatted down and was quiet. However, he knew who it was, but he refused to open his eyes. He was afraid to see an apologetic face. He was afraid that he apologized. He just wanted the man to hold himself and said that he was the owner of the statue, not someone else.


    ¡°Have a good rest.¡± Zhao Yuan smiled at himself.


    ¡°You... don¡¯t go.¡± Lin Wenxi reached out but in vain.


    Zhao Yuan rose and left with his fingers firmly embedded in his palm.


    ¡°Get out of here! Don¡¯te back when you¡¯re gone!¡± Gu Xi picked up the stool and smashed it hard on Zhao Yuan¡¯s back, but he could not stop Zhao Yuan¡¯s departure.


    Zhao Yuan walked out of the hospital. Since the twilight had sunk, the golden sunset shone through the heavy clouds on the left sky, reaching the central blue sky. On the right, the ck clouds were rolling and it was about to rain. Half of the city was sunny, while half of the city was rainy. He suddenly remembered what Lin Wenxi said that day. Was the sun crying, or the rainughing?


    He seemed to see himself standing in the dividing line of the city, with golden sunshine on the left and raging storms on the right. It was warm and cold at one time. However, he didn¡¯t know which way to go, because somebody was standing there, waiting for him to put on his coat. The man was like one who held to the torch in the rain in the small vige and smiled like the moon in the sky.

 Chapter 144 (What Favor? Just Tell Me) Zheng Kai, Substitute for Zhao Yuan, Was Heavily Trusted

    <h4>Chapter 144 (What Favor? Just Tell Me) Zheng Kai, Substitute for Zhao Yuan, Was Heavily Trusted</h4>


    Lin Wenxi suddenly pulled out the infusion tube and ran out with barefeet. Obviously, he could not get rid of Zheng Kai.


    Gu Xi shook his head, and he could no longer face the deep despair in Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes. Just now, how did he sinister and deliberately throw the statue into the water?


    ¡°Wenxi, what on earth are you doing?¡± Zheng Kai did not understand Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan. It seemed that they were alienated, but they were so tied up with each other.


    A few days ago.


    ¡°Zheng Kai, you need to do me a favor.¡±


    ¡°What favor? Just tell me.¡±


    Zheng Kai inexplicably listened to Zhao Yuan¡¯s stories about Lin Wenxi¡¯s childhood for more than half an hour, and repeatedly interrupted him to interrupt a few words.


    ¡°You¡¯re so womanishly fussy. What are you hiding?¡± Zheng Kai was puzzled after he understood Zhao Yuan¡¯s request.


    ¡°Before your father died, he had been protecting Wenxi. Wenxi and I can¡¯t get any closer.¡± Zheng Kai instantly understood what Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°¡±The matter of both of you, you can do it yourself!¡± Zheng Kai said in a low and muffled voice.


    ¡°Because you owe him, and your father owed his father.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t mention my dad!¡± Zheng Kai said angrily.


    ¡°Listen to me first.¡±


    Only then, Zheng Kai knew that more than a decade ago, his father took great pains to let his mother teach in the city. At one time, the family was in trouble and all the money was given away. But let alone the director of the education bureau, he did not see the deputy director. His father had no choice but to write many letters to the director of education bureau. Unexpectedly, the director replied. Considering that his mother worked hard in his hometown and achieved great results, he formally transferred her into the city. He also heard about giving gifts from his father, and began to investigate. He unexpectedly expelled two section directors by all means, which was very popr.


    He knew the surname of the director at that time, but never thought that he was Lin Wenxi¡¯s father.


    ¡°Get rid of your bullsh*t stereotypes! You¡¯re somehow a soldier from Green Fields Military Academy. He¡¯s been in dangertely, bro!¡± ¡°You are the only one I can ask for!¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°Since Wenxi is in trouble, as his roommate, it is incumbent on me to help him. It has nothing to do with you. What¡¯s the point of doing this trick? I can¡¯t fu*king act, let alone a sad y!!¡± Zheng Kai muttered.


    ¡°Would he believe if you approached him for no reason?¡± Zhao Yuan asked.


    ¡°I went directly to him and said, ¡®Lin Wenxi, I will protect youter.¡¯ That¡¯s it! It¡¯s gross for you to do all these girls¡¯ things.¡± Zheng Kai was very dissatisfied.


    ¡°Wanxin seems to be in a bad mood recently,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    Zheng Kai, ¡°...¡±


    ¡°She misses her hometown¡¯s dumplings a little,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    Zheng Kai said, ¡°Zhao Yuan, you b*stard! I will add vinegar in my dishes!¡±


    Zheng Kai raised his hand to surrender.


    When Lin Wenxi was tired, Zheng Kai moved him back to the hospital bed. He was angry that Zhao Yuan left such a sick man to himself, and was worried about Lin Wenxi¡¯s condition.


    Looking back at Gu Xi, he saw that Gu Xi disappeared again.


    When Lin Wenxi woke up again, he saw Zheng Kai lying on the bed next to him and snoring slightly, while Shu Xiaoman was lying in front of his bed.


    Lin Wenxi crept up quietly and looked out of the window. Suddenly, it seemed that the season had changed. The cold spring had gone away. It would be a summer night. The countryside was tranquil. It turned out that it was just the ending of the day after fanaticism disappeared. The autumn vor was strong.


    ¡°Don¡¯t catch cold. Take a break,¡± Shu Xiaoman said.


    ¡°I¡¯ve had enough sleep. You can sleep in my bed. It¡¯s still warm.¡± Lin Wenxi turned around and helped Shu Xiaoman put on his coat. He saw that Shu Xiaoman seemed to weep and turned back again. Shu Xiaoman looked at Lin Wenxi calmly and wanted to ask many questions, but she remembered what Gu Xi said.


    ¡°Xiaoman, you always only think of Wenxi and Zhao Yuan to satisfy your silly thoughts! Don¡¯t mention Zhao Yuan in front of Wenxi in the future!¡±


    But Shu Xiaoman wanted to mention.


    She knew that Zhao Yuan used to be good to Lin Wenxi, but that kind of good feeling was not an ordinary feeling to a dormitory roommate. Finally, he even made a choice between Chen Wanxin and Lin Wenxi, but she didn¡¯t know why Zhao Yuan chose to leave Lin Wenxi. She didn¡¯t know why his feelings were so clear and deep that even his real girlfriend Chen Wanxin was jealousy. But Zhao Yuan should...


    Shu Xiaoman, dressed in clothes, blocked the window and looked at Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi smiled slightly and said, ¡°I¡¯m taller than you. Are you trying to keep me out of the wind or afraid of me jumping down?¡±


    Shu Xiaoman was surprised to find that Lin Wenxi spoke with a slightly ruffian look, and his tone was distinctly like Zhao Yuan¡¯s careless tone.


    ¡°I thought you would be as cold as you were when you first came to college,¡± Shu Xiaoman said.


    ¡°Well, I haven¡¯t been in vain for more than a year. I won¡¯t run away from what happened. You can rest assured.¡± Lin Wenxi returned to the hospital bed andy quietly. He took a vacant seat and said, ¡°Xiaoman, you can either go back to your dormitory now to avoid the scolding, or lie next to me, with the bedclothes, and of course, don¡¯t take off your clothes.¡± Shu Xiaoman listened to this, and she was so angry that she wanted to hit him, and finally sat by the bed, turning her face.


    ¡°Oh, you can go to Zheng Kai¡¯s bed to listen to his grunts,¡± Lin Wenxi said calmly.


    Shu Xiaoman said, ¡°Do you think I dare not?¡± Saying, she was ready to go to Zheng Kai¡¯s bed. However, she just wriggled a few times, and then happilyy down beside Lin Wenxi, with the quilt, lying down quietly. Just like in the field, she used to lie quietly beside Lin Wenxi basking in the sun, and that feeling was wonderful.


    Zheng Kai really was unable to take care of others, so Lin Wenxi, who could only have porridge for breakfast, stared at a bowl of spicy beef noodles, drooling backwards, opening his eyes and unable to speak.


    Zheng Kai looked at Lin Wenxi¡¯s saltwater and reached out to test the tubr dripper in the middle. He carelessly pinched it with two fingers. He saw a tube of saltwater poured into Lin Wenxi¡¯s vein like the rushing of the river. Lin Wenxi only felt cold in his bones.


    Although Shu Xiaoman knew that the two people who met again after a long time needed time to improve their feelings, she still drove Zheng Kai away in a very just and honest way.


    Shu Xiaoman delivered the breakfast in the morning, cooked soup at noon, made sweet soup at night, and even washed the clothes. She couldn¡¯t be driven away even for one night. After she slept in Lin Wenxi¡¯s hospital bed once, she even had to sleep next to each other every night. She even helped the hospital change the sheets for free. She also took a very warm bedsidemp room to make the hospital her home.


    Lin Wenxi thought he had better discharge.


    On the day of discharge, Shu Xiaoman and Gu Xi came together to pick up Lin Wenxi. On the way, Zheng Kai wiped his sweat and whirled around his index finger with a basketball. He hurriedly ran. ¡°Da*n it! You shouldpete shooting with me!¡± The basketball fell down identally and hit Lin Wenxi in his head. Lin Wenxi only felt that it was dark. Could personality change so much from childhood to adulthood? Lin Wenxi grinned bitterly in his heart.


    Arriving at the dormitory, Wang Xiang alone asked Lin Wenxi out.


    ¡°I¡¯ll give you something,¡± Wang Xiang said.

 Chapter 145 (Leave a Number) Mo Qian Visits Zheng Kai to Return the Clothes

    <h4>Chapter 145 (Leave a Number) Mo Qian Visits Zheng Kai to Return the Clothes</h4>


    What Wang Xiang gave Lin Wenxi were several tickets that had been torn to pieces and then glued together.


    The tickets were for a number of trips from a small town to City A, which was too eye-catching.


    ¡°Who asked you to send it?¡± Lin Wenxi asked calmly.


    ¡°Wanxin,¡± Wang Xiang said.


    ¡°What else did she ask you to do?¡±


    ¡°She asked me to keep an eye on all your movements and always convey them to her,¡± Wang Xiang said sincerely.


    ¡°What can she give you?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°I... can¡¯t say,¡± Wang Xiang said.


    ¡°What can I give you?¡± Lin Wenxi asked with a smile.


    ¡°I want to be in.¡± Wang Xiang thought for a moment before responding.


    ¡°In what?¡± Lin Wenxi was curious.


    ¡°In on what you are doing.¡±


    ¡°What am I doing?¡±


    ¡°Getting rid of the devil.¡± Wang Xiang scratched the back of his head andughed.


    ¡°What are you doing it for? Is it for justice or for the moon?¡± Lin Wenxi looked deeply at Wang Xiang and his eyes began to turn cold.


    ¡°I know these days I¡¯ve disappointed you all, Brother Yuan, Brother Kai and you who were all my good brothers. I don¡¯t want to be disturbed by something that made the dormitory always quiet. I hope I can give some assistance in the matter of Brother Yuan.¡± Wang Xiang blushed a little.


    ¡°What can you do?¡± Lin Wenxi was amused and looked at Wang Xiang yfully.


    ¡°If you want me to say anything to Wanxin, I¡¯ll say it to her.¡± Wang Xiang scratched his head.


    ¡°What can Wanxin give you?¡± Lin Wenxi asked again.


    Wang Xiang,¡±...¡±


    ¡°If you don¡¯t tell me what Wanxin can give you, how will I know that I can also give you what you want? Since I can¡¯t afford to give you what you want, how can I be sure that your choice will always be me and that you will not turn to Wanxin in the end?¡±


    ¡°No, from beginning to end, I¡¯ll always stand by you. Whether Wanxin gives it to me or not, it¡¯s the same!¡± Wang Xiang said, pping his chest.


    ¡°If I didn¡¯t know you, I would have believed you. However, after knowing you, I only know that you are a bastard who let a pregnant woman abort at six months. I only know that you are a yboy with at least five girlfriends. You were so fickle that I could not believe you. And most importantly, I don¡¯t need anybody to participate in what I do, Wang Xiang, that¡¯s all,¡± Lin Wenxi said slowly.


    Wang Xiang stomped his feet on the ground in anger.


    ¡°Mo Shi hase out, so you should keep an eye on one person,¡± Lin Wenxi said to Hong Xuan.


    ¡°Who?¡±


    ¡°Zhao Yuan.¡±


    ¡°How could it be him?¡±


    ¡°It suddenly urred to me that there was no movement in the hospital that the people in City A had been keeping an eye on. Maybe the attending physician who checked for heart disease changed the hospital at that time? Zhao Yuan has frequently been in City Ately. It¡¯s a good idea to keep an eye on him.¡±


    ¡°Did he join Mo Shi? Stupid!¡± Hong Xuan was very angry.


    ¡°I... I don¡¯t know how deeply he is involved, but Mo Shi will not give him an important task now. He himself should know this well, and he must be in a hurry to achieve it, so there will be some mistakes.¡± Lin Wenxi was quite worried.


    ¡°What do you want to do?¡± asked Hong Xuan.


    ¡°Prevent him from doing everything,¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    Hong Xuan meditated for a moment and agreed. At 12 o¡¯clock midnight, Hong Xuan was kicking sandbags at home crazily. He had just apanied Lin Ziwei to turn around ande back. He had been working for two weeks safely and steadily. He should not take physical exercise. He pondered on what Lin Wenxi had said and the fact that Lin Wenxi did not submit those pieces of evidence to Lin Ziwei in the past. He frowned.


    In the afternoon, a visitor came to Dormitory 216.


    ¡°Thank you for your clothes, bro.¡± Mo Qian handed over Zheng Kai¡¯s clothes.


    ¡°Haha! I thought I had given them to you!¡± Zheng Kaiughed. Lin Wenxi was grateful when he heard that the life-saving benefactor had arrived. Lin Wenxi looked him over carefully. He seemed to be in his early thirties, but his mature demeanor and grace that made everyone unable to refuse him had to have been cultivated for a long time.


    Lin Wenxi repeatedly thanked him and pushed Zheng Kai, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you leave a phone number back then? So now you don¡¯t know how he came to be here.¡±


    ¡°It was because at that time Brother Qian had something else to do. He left first.¡± Zheng Kaiughed.


    ¡°Oh, I went to the hospital and asked. It¡¯s easy to look up medical records. Is he all right?¡± Mo Qian asked with a smile.


    ¡°There¡¯s too much water in his brain.¡± Zheng Kai sighed.


    ¡°Howe? The younger brother is awake, holding two statues in his hand all the time as if they were his life,¡± Mo Qian said with a smile.


    ¡°Right! Those two little things are really destined! They were a pair of children¡¯s love tokens. After they grew up, they lived in the same dormitory.¡± Wang Xiang perked up when he heard what was being said, so he opened his mouth and responded.


    ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense! They are not tokens of love!¡± Zheng Kai was somewhat unhappy.


    ¡°Haha, it is not a big deal. I can¡¯t tell your age. I don¡¯t know if I should call you Uncle Mo or Brother Mo.¡± Lin Wenxi said with a smile.


    ¡°Me? I am in my forties, and I keep fit,¡± Mo Qian said with a smile.


    ¡°Uncle Mo, look, my dormitory is too messy to receive an honored guest like you. I don¡¯t know what kind of restaurant I should choose if I want to invite you to dinner. If you don¡¯t mind, can you leave a contact number for me to take my parents to visit you one day?¡± Lin Wenxi spoke very sincerely.


    ¡°Bro, you need not be so polite. For me, it was a piece of cake and just added to my virtue. It is not easy to enter Jifu University, so do not be too impulsive next time!¡± Mo Qian looked at Lin Wenxi with some pity.


    ¡°Thank you for your instructions, Uncle Mo. Please leave a contact number. That¡¯s all. I¡¯m really sorry.¡± Lin Wenxi blushed slightly.


    Mo Qian handed over a business card. ¡°Actually, I am very happy to have such a rtionship with the top students of Jifu University. In the future, if you want to have a part-time job, you cane to mypany and have a try.¡±


    The three men sent Mo Qian downstairs and watched him get into a BMW. They waved to him.


    Lin Wenxi looked at his business card: Mo Qian, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Feiyi Garments Co., Ltd.


    ¡°Do you know what heaven and earth, as well as the Eight Diagrams, are?¡± Lin Wenxi turned to Wang Xiang.


    ¡°What...¡± Wang Xiang hid behind Zheng Kai when he noticed the bad look on Lin Wenxi¡¯s face.


    ¡°It¡¯s a golden gossip. Once he knows what happened, the whole world will know!¡± Lin Wenxi said angrily.


    Zheng Kai heard and smiled.


    Not long afterward, Wang Xiang secretly asked Lin Wenxi, ¡°Wenxi, should I tell Wanxin that I encountered Mo Qian today?¡±


    ¡°What do you think?¡± Lin Wenxi looked at him with a faint smile.


    ¡°I... I don¡¯t know. I want to tell her, but I am afraid you have some thoughts. If I don¡¯t tell her, Wanxin will know sooner orter. If I don¡¯t tell her at once, she will doubt my sincerity.¡± Wang Xiang hesitated.


    ¡°It¡¯s up to you.¡± Lin Wenxi smiled and went to the school hospital.


    On the way back from the school hospital, Lin Wenxi was still somewhat uncertain. Some nurses said that today, someone dide to ask the name of the person who fell into the water a few days ago and also looked at the dormitory registration address. That meant Mo Qian did not lie. However, there was something wrong with the appearance of this person, but Lin Wenxi could not put his finger on it. Perhaps, he was just too sensitivetely.

 Chapter 146 (Is He?) Mo Qian Investigated the Childhood Friend

    <h4>Chapter 146 (Is He?) Mo Qian Investigated the Childhood Friend</h4>


    At night, Hong Xuan called Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°If unnecessary for a case, we don¡¯t need to waste human and material resources to investigate your ssmate Zheng Kai. Wenxi, you should remain rational!¡± Hong Xuan couldn¡¯t help reminding.


    ¡°As for Mo Qian, he, your father and I arerades-in-arms from the samepany. His business has been going smoothly since he was transferred to engage in trade. He is the No. 1 Friendship Sponsor of Jifu University. He sponsors a lot of money for the construction of the school every year. From the information currently avable, he is a serious businessman in the city. All the tax records and risk records are perfect, except for bribing your father before. It¡¯s a stain. From the information we have now, we can¡¯t find his any contact with Chen Family. Why are you involved with him?¡±


    ¡°I identally fell into the water, and he saved me once,¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°I¡¯d better arrange for someone with you...¡± Hong Xuan said helplessly.


    ¡°No, I¡¯ll let you investigate Zheng Kai, because there are the bodyguards around me. He is the top student of Green Fields Military Academy. It¡¯s also very fateful that he was the ymate in the courtyard of the government when he was a child. I now recognize him as a brother. He¡¯s always around me now,¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°The one who helped you when you were attacked? I used to y with him at your school. His skill is not bad, and he is inflexible but energetic. But it¡¯s much better than the average policeman.¡± Hong Xuan acquiesced and said, ¡°When you were in the government courtyard, you often yed with a child, but was it him? Why did you suddenly remember him? It has been more than ten years.¡±


    Lin Wenxi briefly said about the statue.


    ¡°Such a fate is really rare. You ask me to investigate him, which means investigating whether he is the ymate or not. We have limited energy. Since he is not our enemy, we can put it off for a while. I will pay attention to him for you,¡± Hong Xuan said.


    ¡°But I always think that ymate is... It¡¯s Zhao Yuan,¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°If he is not, why should he take the initiative to admit and remember those things? Now, it is unimportant who it is. It must be the one who can help you! Wenxi, at an extraordinary moment, doesn¡¯t be emotional anymore!¡± Hong Xuan said solemnly.


    ¡°OK, I understand. Is there any movement of Zhao Yuan recently?¡±


    ¡°No,¡± Hong Xuan said.


    Lin Wenxi felt relieved and went back to his dormitory. He heard Zheng Kai screaming, ¡°D*mn it! Isn¡¯t this An¡¯an?¡±


    Zheng Kai pressed Wang Xiang¡¯s head. He saw Wang Xiang watching a video of a talent show contest. Zheng Kai pulled off Wang Xiang¡¯s headphones and reced them with bass guns. The whole dormitory immediately sounded, ¡°Sweet, you smile sweetly, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze.¡±


    The song was like alcoholic drinks and scented tea, which let people make dream.


    Lin Wenxi gathered together. It must be Zhang An¡¯an. Zhang An¡¯an, in gorgeous skill clothes, was singing slowly in the bright stage.


    ¡°She is much thinner,¡± Zheng Kai said, ¡°I shouldn¡¯t tell that she is as least C!¡±


    ¡°What C?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°Size,¡± Zheng Kai said.


    ¡°The size of what?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°Men¡¯s bottom is rtive to women¡¯s top! Do you understand?¡± Zheng Kai¡¯s eyes were full of contempt.


    ¡°Neck?¡± Lin Wenxi thought for a moment and whispered.


    Zheng Kai, ¡°...¡±


    Wang Xiang turned off the video, grabbed his jersey and ran out.


    ¡°B*stard. He didn¡¯t cherish her before, and now she is going to be a star!¡± Zheng Kai muttered, turning on the D-disk on Wang Xiang¡¯sputer urately and pointing to the daily folder.


    Lin Wenxi looked at Zheng Kai inexplicably, and Zheng Kai smiled. ¡°I¡¯ll show you something wonderful.¡± Subsequently, he did not hesitate to choose ¡°learning courseware¡± from more than a dozen folders.


    ¡°Learning courseware... you?¡± Lin Wenxi was curious, and saw Zheng Kai continue to operate.


    The folder ofposition principle experiment.


    Select the ¡°boring code¡± folder


    ¡°Backend code¡± folder


    ¡°Believing Brother Chun leads to an eternal life¡± folder.


    ¡°Dreams¡± folder.


    ¡°Guess what?¡± Zheng Kai grinned and clicked on it. Several videos appeared in front of him. Just looking at the video thumbnails, Lin Wenxi blushed.


    Zheng Kai directly opened the p**n and sat cross-legged, handing half of his ear to Lin Wenxi. ¡°Together?¡±


    Lin Wenxi ran away with blush at the sight of the raunchy picture.


    ¡°I know you dare not!¡± Zheng Kai took his headset, with his eyes bright, and swallowing saliva.


    ¡°Studhorse,¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°Sexual apathy,¡± Zheng Kai actually heard it and responded casually.


    Lin Wenxi was angry to face inward, but his heart seemed to be ignited, and suddenly returned to that night...


    Imperial Capital Building.


    ¡°Boss Mo, this is the background information you want.¡± A neatly printed sheet of paper was handed over.


    Mo Qian browsed the information, and his face became more imposing.


    ¡°Boss Mo, there¡¯s another funny thing here. It was Zheng Kai¡¯s father, Zheng Zihuan, who had been obstructing us in the hospital, and we wanted to kill him together. However, he jumped from the building tomit suicide at Zhao Mingjiang¡¯s funeral. Some brothers witnessed it by themselves. There were also media reports, which caused a lot of gossips,¡± Luo Yang said with augh.


    ¡°Oh? Suicide? Is he terminally ill or something?¡± Mo Qian said indifferently.


    ¡°I checked it before. Zheng Zihuan was the childhood friend of Zhao Mingjiang. It was said that there was something wrong with Zheng Zihuan! It seems that something is wrong! Look, Boss Mo, he first helped Zhao Mingjiang pay his debts when Zhao Mingjiang was not aware of good or bad. Then, when Zhao Mingjiang was dying, he came out to help him pay for his medical expenses, which caused so much trouble. Finally, he cared Zhao Mingjiang in the hospital day and night, and did all that women could do! Eventually, hemitted suicide in public at the funeral... Do you think is that funny?¡±


    ¡°Why is it so funny?¡± Mo Qian asked.


    ¡°No... It¡¯s not funny. I just feel that their rtionship is like this. Will Zheng Zihuan leave something for Zheng Kai? Is this to be checked?¡± Luo Yang asked.


    ¡°Don¡¯t bother. Even if he left something, it is not proof. Don¡¯t investigate Zheng Kai in case that turns the boat upside down in the sewer! Zheng Kai came out of the Green Fields Military Academy somehow. If anything happens, there will be someone in the military academy to help him,¡± Mo Qian said.


    ¡°But since the boy defined the rtionship with Lin Wenxi, he always followed Lin Wenxi in and after ss. Besides, a servant followed him, called Wang Xiang. Even if we have any ns, there will be some trouble,¡± Luo Yang said tentatively.


    ¡°Don¡¯t act rashly!¡± Mo Qian said calmly, ncing at the woolen overcoat at the cloakroom.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on at the Green Fields Military Academy?¡± Mo Qian asked.


    ¡°Allpetitions are the first, as well as the top students of the Green Fields Military Academy. But we can¡¯t find out other things. There is no contact between the Green Fields and us,¡± Luo Yang said.


    Mo Qian snorted and looked at the information again, which read ¡°Yangzi County¡±. How did he know Lin Wenxi before? Interesting. Mo Qian smiled and said, ¡°Go to invite thedy.¡±


    ¡°You mean... Zhao Yuan is the childhood friend of Lin Wenxi?¡± Chen Wanxin asked.


    Mo Qian nodded and threw the information over. ¡°When Lin Wenxi was a child, he was in Tianfu Township, andter transferred to Yangzi County to study. Zheng Kai was always in Guangming Township when he was a child. On the contrary, it was your Zhao Yuan who spent two years in Tianfu Township when he was a child.¡±


    ¡°See? Zhao Yuan doesn¡¯t even recognize his ymate. You know he¡¯s determined. I won¡¯t say more about the following words.¡± Mo Qian smiled.


    ¡°As for Zhao Yuan who doesn¡¯t recognize his ymate, if Lin Wenxi knew the truth, these were all the girls¡¯ thoughts. You can deal with it by yourself, and I would not interfere.¡± Mo Qian smiled triumphantly.


    Chen Wanxin walked away with a cold face.

 Chapter 147 (Add a Sketch) Busy Preparations for the School Anniversary

    <h4>Chapter 147 (Add a Sketch) Busy Preparations for the School Anniversary</h4>


    The anniversary of Jifu University was approaching. It was said that during the anniversary, the seniors of every university would appear. This time, the university should assign Zhao Yuan, a sophomore year¡¯s student and the president of the Student Union.


    Chen Wanxin was very satisfied with the arrangement. Her father¡¯s influence was remarkable indeed.


    ¡°You are very clever in this way. Let the master start contacting Zhao Yuan, do a good job in the early stage, and make Zhao Yuan unable to engage in his business.¡± Mo Qianughed and praised Chen Wanxin, ¡°But aren¡¯t you afraid that Mo¡¯s family forced Zhao Yuan too much to let him drop out of school?¡±


    ¡°Unless Mo¡¯s family does not want this good guy. You know, Uncle Zhao¡¯sst words are that, after graduation, if I want, let A Yuan marry me. He, first of all, is a student and has to graduate,¡± Chen Wanxin said with a smile.


    ¡°Fine, after you.¡±


    Chen Wanxin, the president of the Art Association, Lin Wenxi, the president of the Literature Association, Zheng Kai, the president of the Sports Association and the presidents of other associations, held repeated consultations on the school anniversary of Jifu University with Zhao Yuan, the president of the Student Union.


    It was hard for Lin Wenxi to imagine that he could calmly talk with Chen Wanxin and Zhao Yuan on the same table about the performance of the program. Of course, Chen Wanxin¡¯s dance team was still the main part of the dance. The solo singer was Zhang An¡¯an, who was already a little famous. And she would participate in the top eightpetition of the talent show, which was well known in the school. As for the piano performances, foreign aids were invited. They were Yun Che and Zhu Ziping who had not been connected for some days. They ran the Ziyun Piano Store well. They did not seek to expand the facade, but to seek a corner. Even though it was a small piano store with five or six pianos, it became a well-known literary and artistic site. They invited the matchmaker, Lin Wenxi to help for a fee from time to time and get along very well. In addition, magic shows, acrobatic performances, sketch shows, hosts and also invited students with their own special skills.


    For the decoration design, Zhou Nannan was duty-bound. They reached an agreement on the leaders¡¯ food. Gu Xi and Shu Xiaoman were responsible for the nutritional soup of health preservation. The soup was exclusively for the leaders to enjoy.


    Then, it was about finding advertisers to sponsor, the overall arrangement of school funding, props purchase, video production and so on. They had been busy for several days, and finally arranged in an orderly way.


    Advertiser sponsorship of course could dy, for school funding was still adequate for the time being.


    Unexpectedly, the student in charge of finance somehow was deceived and transferred arge amount of money to a strange ount. The ssmate in charge of finance cried all day long, and for a moment no one could suddenly give out a sum of money. Even Chen Wanxin, who had always been generous, could only make some financial preparations, and Wang Zhengjuan, because of previous idents, almost poured money out of the home to mediate reparations, could only get a few thousand yuan. Although it was reported, it was impossible to be cleared up in a short time. It was also a series of examination and investigation to apply to the school.


    For the sake of the present, they could only go to ask sponsorship right away. Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin had the most extensivemunication. At this moment, they had to act separately in a hurry, but far water could not save the near fire.


    When they were at a loss, Zheng Kai found the card in his dormitory. ¡°Wenxi, would you like to have a try?¡±


    Lin Wenxi had learned Mo Qian¡¯s ¡°identity¡± from Hong Xuan. He knew that it was a good thing for Mo Qian to be mutually beneficial. Without much hesitation, he agreed.


    Mo Qian entertained Zheng Kai and Lin Wenxi in a very upscale restaurant. Mo Qian made a request that all the clothes for the masquerade party should be provided by Feiyi Garment and that its logo should be printed on it. He also asked the host to broadcast the advertisements of Feiyi for tens of seconds at the opening.


    Rtive to the amount of sponsorship provided by Feiyi, this requirement was not excessive. After they two went back and discussed with the public, the two sides coincided.


    Feiyi was so generous. The next day after the contract was signed, arge sum of money was credited to themon ount, and every link of the contract became active again. Lin Wenxi and Zheng Kai contacted about masquerade costumes in the middle of the way and exchanged several times. Boss Mo gave very detailed suggestions on clothing brand and matching requirements. He even invited the exclusive designer of thepany to design with him.


    ¡°Zheng Kai, forget it. Act as a special soldier in Contra. Otherwise, the American soldier in the King of Fighters was also good.¡± Mo Qian only gave Zheng Kai this suggestion.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi, you are one of the most elegant people I¡¯ve ever seen. The great patriotic poet, Qu Yuan, fits yours. Or, you could act Xu Zhimo, or Su Shi, who wrote ¡®a little magnanimity, a thousand miles of wind¡¯.¡± Mo Qian pondered for a while and said then, ¡°Actually! You make up for a woman to y Diaochan, and Zheng Kai ys Lv Bu. Is it wonderful?¡± Mo Qian pped his hands andughed.


    Lin Wenxi saw Mo Qian in his thirties was also so childlike, so he inevitably became intimate,ughing and saying, ¡°How about the friend you saw when I fell into the water that day, ying Diaochan?¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Yes! I thought that it was a girl at first, and he was so pretty!¡±


    ¡°No, no,¡± Zheng Kai said, ¡°I don¡¯t y Lv Bu, and I can y Li Kui and Zhang Fei.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s OK for you not to y Lv Bu. After all, the cultural connotations of Lv Bu and Diaochan are not very strong. What about Farewell My Concubine? Zheng Kai can y Xiang Yu and your ssmate can y Concubine Yu.¡± Mo Qian smiled slightly.


    Lin Wenxi hadn¡¯t felt so happy for a long time, so he gave Mo Qian a thumbs-up.


    ¡°Well, let¡¯s decide it ourselvester,¡± Zheng Kai said in embarrassment.


    ¡°Just add a sketch and call it Farewell My Concubine,¡± Lin Wenxi said with a smile, for he really wanted to see Zheng Kai and Gu Xi still have some contact. Although Lin Wenxi was unable to know by all means of inquiries, he knew that all the pain of Gu Xi came from Zheng Kai.


    Mo Qian said earnestly, ¡°Seriously, Farewell My Concubine is one of my favorite ys. I haven¡¯t seen it for many years. If you can really let me see the splendor of the younger generations of Jifu University, I¡¯m also happy within.¡±


    ¡°We can arrange it, but we¡¯ll find students who are good at acting,¡± Zheng Kai said.


    ¡°Actually, you¡¯re good.¡± Mo Qian looked at Zheng Kai with amusement. ¡°From the aspect of body and physique, you are the overlord of the Western Chu Dynasty! Don¡¯t say more. That¡¯s settled! Today I will send someone to tailor your clothes. Wenxi, you call your ssmate together. In addition, Wenxi, you can¡¯t stand out and decide what to y by yourself!¡±


    Zheng Kai couldn¡¯t help but be dumbfounded. Since the sponsor spoke, he had to do it.


    ¡°Just y a sketch, You and Gu Xi don¡¯t go to the point where you arepletely isted from each other all their lives, do you? You don¡¯t need to hug or kiss him,¡± Lin Wenxiter said with a smile.


    But Lin Wenxi soon regretted it very much.


    In the middle, because of the masquerade ball, the ss representatives of boys and girls went to a cafe to discuss.


    The early spring sunshine crept on the cold window, the frost on the window dispersed, and the evergreen trees outside were bustling slightly, with new vitality.


    Suddenly, the sun was a bit dazzling, and Lin Wenxi looked up slightly. Zhao Yuan stood by the window with his hands at back. Wang Xiang asked him toe so early, but others still didn¡¯te. At this moment, it was not suitable for discussion.


    At the moment, there were only Zhao Yuan, Zheng Kai and Lin Wenxi in the entire private room.


    Lin Wenxi gave Zheng Kai a look. Zheng Kai was surprised and smiled and said, ¡°Shall we start first?¡±


    Lin Wenxi frowned and red at Zheng Kai.


    ¡°What are you ring at me? I have agreed to y Xiang Yu.¡± Zheng Kai stared back at Lin Wenxi.


    Wang Xiang suddenly pushed the door open and grabbed Zheng Kai to drag him out, ¡°Wanxin is looking for you!¡± Then, Zheng Kai was dragged out by Wang Xiang.


    Lin Wenxi¡¯s face gradually showed a slight smile. For so many days, it seemed that he had really experienced an ordinary university life. He didn¡¯t have to be cautious about everything as if walking on thin ice all the time. And he hadn¡¯t stayed so quietly with Zhao Yuan for a long time. Even if they didn¡¯t talk, it was excellent.


    ¡°I go to the bathroom,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°It¡¯s in the chartered room.¡± Lin Wenxi pointed to another door in the room.


    ¡°What¡¯ the matter now?¡± asked Lin Wenxi.


    Zhao Yuan was silent.


    Suddenly, Lin Wenxi took Zhao Yuan¡¯s hand, touched it slowly. All of a sudden, he covered his face with it, ¡°Yuan, how long has this hand not been near me, even if for a moment, a minute, a second. Did you intentionally forget the past?¡±


    It was unsure whether the smell of bath lotion of Lin Wenxi or the sunshine was too mild. Zhao Yuan had a moment ofziness and warmth in his heart. He tried hard to pull back his hand, but he felt that there was no strength on him. Sunshine sprinkled on their faces, and it was so tranquil that the whole world was quiet. A bird flew outside the window, and another bird happily followed. Lin Wenxi felt that this feeling was like a song.


    The door suddenly pushed open. It was Chen Wanxin pushing the door in.


    Chen Wanxin felt that the picture in front of her was very dazzling. The sunshine on the ss window was even more dazzling. She turned slightly angry, leaning against the outside wall. She clenched her teeth, squeezed out a smile on her face, then turned around and knocked on the half-open dormitory door. She coughed and said, ¡°Is your cell phone text message ringing not loud enough? And you don¡¯t wait for me.¡± From her words, she was acting in a pettishly charming manner.


    When she entered the room again, Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi looked at each other with their hands in their breasts.


    Chen Wanxin went over and took Zhao Yuan¡¯s arm. ¡°Why are you standing? Have a seat and talk with me.¡±


    Gu Xi suddenly came in and red at Chen Wanxin angrily. ¡°The couple who were always flirting in the public would usually break up soon, don¡¯t you know?¡±


    ¡°Do you have a love to show?¡± Chen Wanxin retorted.


    ¡°So I will die behind you.¡± Gu Xi smiled coldly.


    Chen Wanxin could not help being angry, so she got up to grab Gu Xi. Zhao Yuan put Chen Wanxin around his waist and said, ¡°You are still tempered. Why do you haggle over with a kid.¡±


    ¡°You are a kid! Nonsense!¡± Gu Xi said, sitting far away from both of them. Just as the others came in, he was ready to discuss the proper business.


    Chen Wanxin was very puzzled. It was Gu Xi who called and said to herself that Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi had gone to the cafe ahead of time. She thought that Gu Xi had ¡°surrendered¡± to herself because of Zheng Kai. Unexpectedly, what he said showed that he stood on the side of Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi wanted to y Su Shi at first, and Shu Xiaoman was going to y Wang Fu. Lin Wenxi changed to y Xu Zhimo. Shu Xiaoman raised her chest and said that she was reincarnated Lu Xiaoman. Lin Wenxi had no choice but to y the role of Monk Xuanzang. Shu Xiaoman shouted, ¡°I want to y the role of White Dragon Horse!¡±


    Everyone, ¡°...¡±


    When they failed, Lin Wenxi had no choice but to perform the mascot. It was the Year of the Pig. Lin Wenxi thought it would be a good choice to be a golden pig.


    Shu Xiaoman, ¡°Then, I will y Chang¡¯e.¡±


    Zhang An¡¯an took her back to her seat.

 Chapter 148 (Wish to Cherish Each Other in the Next Life!)

    <h4>Chapter 148 (Wish to Cherish Each Other in the Next Life!)</h4>


    The Real Concubine Yu Said Goodbye to the False Overlord of Western Chu


    This year¡¯s students of Yuejin University seemed to be the most outstanding.


    Chen Wanxin¡¯s ¡°Break Dance¡±, with youthful rhythm, stunned the whole audience and caused a minor climax. The girls¡¯ dance team gathered again, with brilliance and amazement.


    Zhang An¡¯an, with a graceful figure, was bumpy and beautiful, dressed up in a princess¡¯s evening dress, and sang a wonderful song. The song ¡°The day doesn¡¯t understand the dark of the night¡± captured numerous male and female fans, and the audience eximed.


    ¡°Do you regret?¡± Zheng Kai pressed Wang Xiang¡¯s head.


    Wang Xiang looked carefully at her for a while and shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s almost your turn. I¡¯ll go to make up with you.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s a beautiful girl inside to help me. You¡¯re not going to take advantage, are you?¡± Zheng Kai said scornfully.


    ¡°Perhaps.¡± Wang Xiang chuckled and went to the dressing room with Zheng Kai.


    Zheng Kai thought that Wang Xiang dide to take advantage, but to take advantage of himself. It was obviously make-up, however, Zheng Kai always felt that Wang Xiang¡¯s hand passing through his chest, back and arms, which caused an indescribable feeling of crispness and numbness. However, these beautiful cosmeticians put all their energies on Gu Xi but only gave Zheng Kai a suit of clothes, casually scattered his hair and let it be. In their eyes, Gu Xi, a man dressed as a woman, was like a pure jade, which was worth carving.


    There was another cheer outside the court.


    Yun Cheposed the music by himself and Zhu Ziping wrote the lyrics, which formed a piano song called ¡°Matchmaker Brook¡±.


    ¡°The moon was in the Matchmaker Brook, and it was easy for men, not for the moon, to get old. Every year, the sound of the brook can be heard, and the silk can be washed. If the moon didn¡¯t shine your face, it is difficult to see you. It is difficult to meet each other but easy to say goodbye. A decade is a mere snap of the fingers, which was given to the strings. The worries in the past were given to the strings. At the edge of the cliff, take the brook sound as music, and miss each other forever. The moonlight is like water while water is like the sky. The beauty is like a flower faraway. We are looking forward to meeting forever. After a long time, we eventually stopining, as if you were around me. We apany each other forever. The blossom falls, and you can recall the torch and the flute ying. It is a long-term affection. The home-returning birds passed. I let down the world, but unwilling to let down the time in vain.¡±


    Lin Wenxi was shocked. He only mentioned to Zhu Ziping about the torch and the flute ying on the bright moonlit night. At that time, he could not control his feelings. Did she perceive something wrong?


    It was full of ancient charm. They two performed a four-hand joint y in a piano, but it was as if one person did with one heart, which definitely caused the praise of the audience.


    ¡°The sea of bitterness is endless, but the back is the shore,¡± Gu Xi said coldly.


    ¡°Oh, I haven¡¯t been to the sea of bitterness yet. I have to feel its boundlessness before I can choose to turn back,¡± Lin Wenxi, holding the big head of the golden pig, said reluctantly.


    Suddenly someone patted Lin Wenxi on the shoulder. Lin Wenxi looked back and saw a huge golden pig turning around awkwardly, with two bows tied to her head. It was funny that his and Gu Xi¡¯s mascots could only reach the chest of the golden pig.


    Lin Wenxi pulled Gu Xi to run. The golden pig was supposed to chase him. However, it moved quickly for a moment and fell to the ground. The audience at the edge came to help, but saw a girl with messy hair, crawling out and swore. Lin Wenxi popped his head to look. Wasn¡¯t it Shu Xiaoman? When Shu Xiaoman finished dancing, she went to the backstage to look for the mascot. Unexpectedly, the pink pig was taken away, only one big golden pig left. She had to tie two bows to show it was a girl. The pig was really too high. She had to secretly open the pig¡¯s belly, bowed her body, and ran out staggering. Just now, she controlled the golden pig to beat Lin Wenxi, which could only be achieved by twisting her body with all her strength. But then if she ran to catch up with him, it was absolutely impossible.


    Lin Wenxi and Gu Xi took off their headgear and came to help Shu Xiaoman. Shu Xiaoman¡¯s forehead was scratched, her arm was broken, her hair was long and messy, and her forehead was full of sweat, which made her look very awkward. Lin Wenxi helped Shu Xiaoman wipe the sweat from her forehead with some distress, but it was difficult to look directly into her dark and bright eyes.


    Suddenly Shu Xiaoman grabbed Lin Wenxi¡¯s hand and summoned up the courage to say, ¡°Wenxi, be my boyfriend.¡±


    Lin Wenxi put down Shu Xiaoman¡¯s hand.


    ¡°I only need one minute.¡± Shu Xiaoman stretched out a finger, but her head was nk. She felt that she was crying, but it must be at the bottom of her heart, not in her eyes. Sheughed andughed so loudly that she felt she could not feel her face.


    Shu Xiaoman hugged Lin Wenxi tightly. Lin Wenxi did not resist, wondering what to think.


    ¡°If you have one minute, you¡¯ll want three minutes, and even an hour. What should not be yours will not be yours.¡± What Gu Xi said was so cold that Shu Xiaoman¡¯s arm slowly loosened.


    ¡°It turned out that being your boyfriend is to hug, so I should be your boyfriend for several times,¡± Gu Xi said.


    ¡°Gu Xi, are you going to make everyone dislike youtely?¡± Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Even you, right? Soon, I won¡¯t let you hate me anymore.¡± After Gu Xi said, he sneered and left.


    The program was more brilliant than the previous ones, with a few sketches in the middle. The grand chorus followed a few small programs. It was the school song of Jifu Universityposed by Yun Che.


    Then Farewell My Concubine was arranged in these small programs as a feedback to Mo Qian, the biggest sponsor.


    Zheng Kai, in a ck armor covered with blood. The white towel tied forehead, and he held the overlord weapon with one hand. He wore a stern face, but there was affection in his eyes. He wasing over with mighty and force. Concubine Yu, however, had long hair. Her eyebrows were ck without making up, and her lips were red without staining. Her eyes were full of affection and tears. The corner of her mouth seemed to upwarp but stop. The tens of millions of speechless words were all in a smile.


    ¡°D*mn it. Gu Xi was ying himself.¡± Wang Xiang came out of the dressing room sweating heavily. Originally, the cosmetician was designated. Unexpectedly, Wang Xiang ran to the dressing room as an assistant and helped Zheng Kai to make up well. The cosmetician couldn¡¯t help but praise him. Lin Wenxi found Wang Xiang quite funny. Inadvertently, he developed a new skill. There were numerous skills that he could do, like matching clothes, geography and astronomy, poetry and literature, calligraphy, history, basketball, tea culture.


    Concubine Yu was rushing to Zheng Kai¡¯s bosom and said, ¡°King.¡± It was like the broken jade of Kunshan, and the lotus weeping dew, which saddened all the audience.


    The Chu song was so heartbreaking and rose from all sides.


    ¡°In the cool autumn of September, the frost was flying in the fields. The expedition was going on day and night. Eventually, Liu Bang won the war. The white-haired mother was heartbreaking and the wife was alone waiting in the vacant room...¡±


    When Zheng Kai rehearsed, he read Xiang Yu¡¯s Last Song with excitement. He had the feeling of majesty but no destion. Finally, he had to find someone else to dub it for him. As soon as the song was finished, the mournful music suddenly yed, and finally, a short but sad scene was about to appear.


    ¡°Liu Bang¡¯s army has captured thend of Chu, and there are sad songs of Chu from all sides. Since King¡¯s heroism and strong will have been exhausted, I have no reason to live in the world alone!¡± The sigh, unexpectedly, was from such a weak Gu Xi! It was so stunning to hear that the temporarily inserted y. It turned out to be the most splendid chapter, making the whole auditorium silent.


    Concubine Yu pulled up the prop sword she had ced. The sword had a faint sound and was chilling.


    ¡°Farewell! Wish to cherish each other in the next life!¡± With a wail of sorrow and a sh of cold light, the sword scratched his neck.


    The Xiang Yu on the stage seemed to be stunned, and then jumped up suddenly. He kicked Concubine Yu¡¯s sword out, hugging her and shouting endlessly.


    ¡°Well... Xiang Yu is too involved in the y. If he doesn¡¯t want a woman to die, he...¡± Wang Xiang couldn¡¯t helpughing bitterly. Without such a kick, since Gu Xi fell to the ground and the two people took leave of each other, the y may be able to be one of the top programs, which was a lot of credits.


    Suddenly they heard Zheng Kai on the stage take up the microphone to shout loudly, ¡°Ambnce!¡±

 Chapter 149 (It Couldn’t Cure my Life!) He Would Rather Die Than Being Insulted

    <h4>Chapter 149 (It Couldn¡¯t Cure my Life!) He Would Rather Die Than Being Insulted</h4>


    Zheng Kai shouted on the stage, and the audience heard Xiang Yu shouting, ¡°Ambnce.¡± They could not help but feel it unreal andugh a lot. Xiang Yu had taken off his robe and wrapped Concubine Yu¡¯s neck with it. He jumped off the stage with Concubine Yu in his arms, and hurriedly ran to the entrance of the auditorium.


    ¡°Blood...¡± Lin Wenxi looked at the bloodstains sprinkled on the ground. His heart seemed to have been severely cut. He burst into tears and said, ¡°You are so silly!¡±


    ¡°Gu Xi, Gu Xi, fu*k!¡± Zheng Kai ran all the way, and the sweat stains on his face dyed the make-up colors together.


    ¡°The blood bank isck of blood...¡± The doctor wiped his sweat. ¡°There are so many idents in your ss... somebody was drowned and somebody was pregnant... Now, there is one who cut his neck.¡±


    Zheng Kai could not have imagined that the prop sword had been reced by Gu Xi with the real sword glittering with cold light. Only the martial arts team hid several real swords, and he did not know how Gu Xi got them out. How could he unconsciously rece the props?


    ¡°Draw my blood as much as you can,¡± Zheng Kai said seriously. In the past, Gu Xi also transfused blood for him. He knew that they were of the same blood type.


    The blood came out of Zheng Kai¡¯s arms bit by bit, one bag after another. Gu Xi had fallen into aa due to ischemia. His pale face was like a piece of thin paper, which was unbearable for people to watch. His breath, like a candle in the wind, might vanish at any time.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡± Zheng Kai buried his head deeply.


    Zheng Kai still remembered Gu Xi¡¯s cold eyes and deep despair at that time.


    That night, Zheng Kai stood as guards at the bier for all night. He still felt sorry for his father¡¯s death. Gu Xi couldn¡¯t help persuading him. Without saying anything, Zheng Kai dragged Gu Xi into the bathroom.


    Zheng Kai did not know what he was doing. He remembered Chen Wanxin¡¯s tenderness when she took care of himself. He remembered Chen Wanxin¡¯s decision to leave when she knew about Zhao Yuan¡¯s ident. He remembered Chen Wanxin¡¯s smile at him when they met again, as if they returned to the past.


    The person, in front of him, who had been taking care of, following, entangling, sticking to himself and making himself annoyed was thest one he wanted to hurt. He couldn¡¯t frown at him or shout at him, but he never knew how annoying he was and how much he hated all this.


    How shameful and disgusting was when this man kissed his lips in the middle of the night!


    Why was this person not Wanxin!


    Zheng Kai was hysterical and furious.


    That night was so unusual, because the thunder was so loud and the rain was so unusual. Zheng Kai¡¯s fierce face was terrible. Gu Xi was taken off naked, shivering all over. He almost begged Zheng Kai to let him go, but Zheng Kai refused.


    ¡°It hurts! Zheng Kai, let me go! ¡±


    He struggled with all his strength.


    His arm was deeply bitten, but the pain stimted Zheng Kai¡¯s fighting spirit.


    ¡°Zheng Kai, I beg you. I have already let go... I just want to be friends with you... and brother...¡±


    ¡°Shameful! What friends and brothers! You¡¯re as shameful as my dad!¡±


    Blood suddenly seeped out and fell to the floor, but Zheng Kai did not perceive it.


    It was like the blood in his heart flowing out.


    Until he became numb, paralyzed and couldn¡¯t utter a word.


    Gu Xi even thought that as Zheng Kai¡¯s venting tool, he was also very happy. Gu Xi persuaded himself and deceived himself into being happy. Zheng Kai¡¯s warm body left his trembling body, and finally, his cold wordspletely crushed the lies he told himself, ¡°Is this what you want? I gave it to you! You can go.¡±


    ¡°This is what I want. This is what I have waited for eight years! You don¡¯t like that a boy behaves like a girl, so I¡¯ve been learning how to be a man. You don¡¯t like the fragility of boys, so I never cry in front of you and always smile.¡±


    ¡°Zheng Kai!¡± Gu Xi wasughing.


    Gu Xi opened his eyes andughed. Enduring the numbness of his feet, he slowly walked out of the door and fainted in the rain outside.


    Like time flew backwards, in the cold rainy night so many years ago, Gu Xi, holding the life-saving medicine box, fell into the mud.


    When Zheng Kai went to help Gu Xi buy lunch and returned to the hospital, Gu Xi had already left. He asked his mother Guo Ciyun. Guo Ciyun said calmly, ¡°I only persuaded him not to report the case, and he...¡±


    Zheng Kai thought that he would never see Gu Xi again, but he didn¡¯t expect that Gu Xi came back from God knew where.


    However, Zheng Kai knew that Gu Xi was still alive, but also was dead.


    He never said a word, but he still would send his coat over at the cold night.


    Zheng Kai was confused.


    He suddenly remembered the sentence that Lin Wenxi said at his father¡¯s funeral, ¡°Can somebody tell me, what love is supposed to be? That makes me hold no fear in the face of death. With your absence, my existence is meaningless on earth.¡±


    ¡°Is that love?¡± His father taught himself what boys should and shouldn¡¯t do when he was young.


    Zheng Kaiughed with a hoarse voice.


    When Gu Xi woke up again, the ssmates were standing around him.


    Zheng Kai, with an unshaven beard, glossy face, bloody eyes and paleplexion, was still holding his hand. Lin Wenxi, beside him, was too haggard to be human. When he saw himself waking up, he was weeping.


    Lin Wenxi med himself deeply.


    He found Gu Xi¡¯s expulsion notice in Gu Xi¡¯s dormitory. With this notice, many things gradually were clear.


    Gu Xi had been absent from school for two weeks without any reason. He didn¡¯t listen to the ss monitor¡¯s admonition, and pped the monitor of another ss, because the monitor privately said that two boys in a ss behaved ambiguously. Gu Xi was reprimanded by the counselor, and he even held the counselor in public and kissed him fiercely. Gu Xi scared the counselor to make a fool of himself in public and he almost broke up with his girlfriend.


    ¡°Atst, the dean of the Academy talked to Gu Xi that day. As a result, he heard the movement in the office of the college building. After a while, the door of the office opened. The dean sweated and ran out, shouting all the time. Later, I asked Gu Xi what had happened. Gu Xi said that he just pinched the dean¡¯s balls for a few times and that it was quitefortable. The dean stood and enjoyed it for a while before he ran away.¡± Shu Xiaoman said so.


    ¡°Gu Xi asked me not to bother you with these things. You¡¯ve been so busytely that you haven¡¯t been in your dormitory very often. I wanted to talk to you several times, but there¡¯s always no chance.¡±


    As Gu Xi¡¯s confidant and friend, he was like deaf and blind, and he was too insensible.


    Lin Wenxi held Gu Xi¡¯s hand and burst into tears.


    ¡°Wenxi, if you get thinner, you¡¯ll dry up.¡± As soon as Gu Xi finished, his tears fell down.


    ¡°Don¡¯t wait for those who don¡¯t deserve, okay?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t be like me,¡± Gu Xi said, cruelly beating Zheng Kai¡¯s hand, but the big hands just held Gu Xi.


    ¡°Kill me, Gu Xi,¡± Zheng Kai said, ¡°You can do everything you want to me.¡±


    Gu Xi looked around at the crowd andughed contemptuously. ¡°Are you serious? Guys, did you all hear that?¡±


    Lin Wenxi covered Gu Xi¡¯s mouth. ¡°Gu Xi, stop. It¡¯s hard for you, and it¡¯s also hard for... First, you should be well.¡±


    Gu Xi pushed Lin Wenxi¡¯s hand aside. ¡°My disease can be cured, but my life cannot! If you are destined to have something, you will. However, you cannot have it by force. Someone¡¯s father had left hisst words, what can you do even if he really loves you...?¡±


    ¡°Zheng Kai! I want you to kiss me in public! Would you like to?¡± Gu Xi smiled coldly.


    Zheng Kai frowned slightly, bent down, pursed his lips, closed his eyes to hold his breath, and then decided to kiss Gu Xi¡¯s mouth.


    ¡°No!¡± Lin Wenxi pulled Zheng Kai hard and said to Gu Xi, ¡°Let¡¯s leave some room for each other.¡±


    ¡°I want it! I want!¡± Gu Xi shouted.


    ¡°Zheng Kai, go out, and you all can go out, I will apany Gu Xi!¡± Lin Wenxi shouted fiercely and looked around the crowd. He was desperate to find that Zhao Yuan was not here.


    When the crowd went out, Gu Xi turned away and ignored Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°He forced himself to do what he was unwilling to do in public. The affairs between you will soon be spread. Zheng Kai¡¯s greatest regret in his life is the evil fruit that Uncle Zheng nted for him in the past. If it goes on like this, even if he feels guilty and forces himself to go on, it will really be over between you. There is no room for turning back!¡± Lin Wenxi said sadly.


    ¡°What room should I have for turning back? Can things get worse? I¡¯d rather want his fake gentle than be a friend all my life and suffer when I see him!¡± Gu Xi sneered.


    ¡°Gu Xi! Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know!¡± ¡°You¡¯re trying to free him! You¡¯re only trying to free him now! You want to offset what he did, so you don¡¯t owe him anything, do you? I want him to owe you!¡± Lin Wenxi said ruthlessly.


    ¡°Oh, what about Zhang Dong? Does Zhang Dong still owe you?¡± Gu Xi asked with a smile.


    ¡°Zhang Dong...¡± Lin Wenxi was silent for a moment.


    Gu Xi said slowly and expressionlessly. Only then did Lin Wenxi understand that the pain and evil he suffered in the past should be several times on Gu Xi.


    ¡°At that time, I also asked you how you felt when Zhao Yuan did that to you... I thought it would be very happy... But I, I only had an impulse to die... I hate... Wenxi, I hate... But... In the end, how can I hate him?!!¡± Gu Xi sobbed.


    Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t help holding Gu Xi, with tears flowing straight.


    ¡°I, I really want to be friends with him and forget the past. I just want to... I just want to apany him, but God won¡¯t even give me such an opportunity now!¡± Gu Xi suddenly coughed violently.


    ¡°Stop talking and have a good rest.¡± Lin Wenxi gently patted Gu Xi¡¯s back, and his heart had been twisted and extremely painful.


    ¡°I can¡¯t hate him, so I can only hate myself... I want to tell him that I don¡¯t me him, but I can¡¯t say! Even if I don¡¯t me him, he can¡¯t let go of himself. Why I can¡¯t have a chance to be friends with him? I just want to die. Why should I be saved?¡± Gu Xi kept crying.


    ¡°Zheng Kai, did you really did him?¡± Outside, Wang Xiang could not help blurting out and immediately regretted.


    A loud p fell on Wang Xiang¡¯s face. Zhang An¡¯an was so angry that her chest fluctuated violently.


    ¡°Great!¡± Wang Xiang hated to say that and he immediately pped himself several times by himself and rushed out of the crowd.

 Chapter 150 (Why Is It you Every Time?) Protect the Companions Due to Heroic Spirit

    <h4>Chapter 150 (Why Is It you Every Time?) Protect the Companions Due to Heroic Spirit</h4>


    On the same day, Chen Wanxin suddenly came to look for Lin Wenxi and showed him some pictures.


    Photographs showed different models of mobile phones. It fixed in the deleted text messages, each of which was a different number and it was the task of Zhao Yuan sent by Mo¡¯s family.


    ¡°The tasks sent out by Mo¡¯s family are usually deleted immediately. They are kept for only three days before they arepletely destroyed. Only these are the ones I can photograph.¡±


    Lin Wenxi looked at thest photo, which was just only a few words, ¡°Tomorrow night, City A, must ask the whereabouts of the file. Address: XXXX.¡±


    In the previous photo, the task was, ¡°City A, escort to leave.¡± ¡°City A, transfer the destination.¡± Obviously, Zhao Yuan had sessfullypleted several tasks.


    ¡°How to do it depends on you.¡± Chen Wanxin smiled and handed over a piece of paper and pen. ¡°Here you are. Copy the address.¡±


    ¡°Flower Road, No. XXX...¡± After Lin Wenxi finished copying the address, Chen Wanxin was unhappy to leave.


    ¡°Cunning!¡± Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t help hating to say. In this way, Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t keep a little evidence, and even the address was written by himself. The only so-called evidence in hand now was a few tickets from a small town with the name and date scraped off to City A.


    Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t think too much, because it was in a hurry. He immediately contacted Hong Xuan.


    ¡°These days, you really did not find Zhao Yuan¡¯s whereabouts? Don¡¯t you know what he did?¡± Lin Wenxi asked aloud.


    ¡°I have my own arrangements,¡± Hong Xuan said.


    ¡°Where are your inferiors going tonight? To catch Zhao Yuan, right? You don¡¯t want to stop him, but wait to catch them all, right!¡± Lin Wenxi roared.


    ¡°Wenxi, how did you know?¡± Hong Xuan asked.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter! What on earth are you going to do? Uncle Hong Xuan, we reached an agreement that you would stop Zhao Yuan whatever he did. It is enough to stop him!¡± Lin Wenxi was in such a hurry that he did not know what to do.


    ¡°Wenxi, you are too emotional. I have been waiting here for a long time. Tonight, we should not only catch Zhao Yuan, but also the doctors transferred by him, as well as some people in Mo¡¯s family! Zhao Yuan ising soon!¡± Hong Xuan said without hesitation.


    ¡°Uncle Hong Xuan, let him go. If you stop him once, Mo¡¯s family may not assign any more tasks. You needn¡¯t do it!¡± Lin Wenxi was so anxious that he couldn¡¯t hold his feet. He ran out immediately.


    ¡°Just wait calmly! It is a crime to work for Mo¡¯s family! Also, don¡¯t bother to send news secretly, because Zhao Yuan is using the new mobile phone number to contact Mo¡¯s family!¡±


    The phone hung up.


    Zhao Yuan¡¯s phone had really never been answered.


    Lin Wenxi rushed downstairs quickly, suddenly remembered that he had forgotten his money, so he turned back to his dormitory and stuffed all the cash into his wallet, and ran out in a hurry.


    ¡°Wenxi, he...¡± Zheng Kai just now came back from the hospital and asked Wang Xiang.


    Wang Xiang shrugged his shoulders and Zheng Kai hurried to follow Lin Wenxi. Wang Xiang followed him together.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to do something. What do you do? Go back!¡± Zheng Kai was very dissatisfied.


    Wang Xiang shrugged again.


    Zheng Kai did not have time to say more, but saw that Lin Wenxi stopped a taxi, and he took another taxi. ¡°Keep up with that car with the license te number! It¡¯s my friend!¡±


    Wang Xiang nervously looked at Zheng Kai. ¡°What do you know?¡±


    Zheng Kai shook his head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know. I only know that Wenxi is dangerous recently.¡±


    ¡°Since you don¡¯t know anything, why are you so anxious!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s none of business!¡±


    ¡°It is worthy that he recognized you as his brother.¡± Wang Xiang was envious.


    ¡°You can also do it,¡± Zheng Kai said casually.


    A big face was attached to Zheng Kai¡¯s arm, ¡°Brother Kai, hello.¡±


    Zheng Kai pped his hand on Wang Xiang¡¯s head. ¡°Useless! Don¡¯t treat me like a woman!¡±


    ¡°Even if you have recognized Lin Wenxi as your brother, would you really be so good to him ording to your bad temper? I guess, because you treated Gu Xi like that, then you felt guilty, and you couldn¡¯t get along with Gu Xi. So you make up for Gu Xi¡¯s confidant, Lin Wenxi, right?¡±


    ¡°Zhou Youlin¡¯s fatherter found Xue Gongcan¡¯s sister. Although Xue Gongcan¡¯s grandfather opposed it, he was still with Zhou Youlin. Perfect ending. Do you like it?¡± Zheng Kai said with a smile.


    ¡°Zheng Kai! Can you not go to see thest episode of the TV series I saved every time?¡± Wang Xiang was so depressed that he was about to shed tears.


    ¡°NO. I watched the film you saved in Believing Brother Chun to Get Eternal Life from the head to the toe,¡± Zheng Kai smiled, looking at the front, and casually said.


    ¡°Zheng Kai, Zheng Kai, I, I...¡± Wang Xiang was so depressed that he almost didn¡¯t breathe.


    The two were joking in the car for a while, and Wang Xiang secretly asked Zheng Kai, ¡°Do you have any money with you?¡±


    Zheng Kai immediately looked displeased. ¡°Keep your voice down.¡±


    On the way, Wang Xiang answered a phone call from Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°Is Wenxi out of the dormitory?¡± Chen Wanxin asked in a low voice.


    ¡°Yes, he¡¯s going to study by himself again, but it seems that he¡¯s not in good spirits,¡± Wang Xiang said.


    ¡°OK, I see,¡± Chen Wanxin said briefly.


    As the car went farther and farther, Zheng Kai and Wang Xiang could not help but look imposing, as if he was going out of town.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi should go there. Boss Zhang, inform Zhao Yuan and change his address,¡± Chen Wanxin said calmly on the phone.


    ¡°What task is to be assigned to him?¡±


    ¡°Except our people, whoever would enter in, p him ten times! Let¡¯s see whether he could do it!¡± Chen Wanxin gave a cold smile.


    Boss Zhang hung up to call another person and said so.


    ¡°It may be not that difficult to fool Lin Wenxi out of school. Did he with these efforts go to City A just for several ps? It really leaves them room. It¡¯s a little girl¡¯s thought!¡± There was a loudugh on the phone.


    Two cars were speeding along the highways of the two cities. Night had fallen and the front car disappeared at the turning.


    Zheng Kai hastily urged, ¡°Keep up! If you can¡¯t drive, I can do it! ¡±


    The driverined calmly, ¡°Get off the car to drive by the current, okay?¡±


    After he said, a loud band was heard. The whole world began to shake. Zheng Kai hurriedly hugged Wang Xiang, who was chewing gum bubbles, into his arms and covered his head with both hands.


    When the body stabilized, Zheng Kai moved his feet and struggled hard to get up. He found that the car was close to the guardrail on the side of the road and med out. As for the driver who was lying on the steering wheel, shaking his head constantly and trying to wake himself up.


    ¡°F*ck!¡± Zheng Kai shouted angrily and lifted Wang Xiang in his arms. ¡°Are you pretending to be dead?¡± He pointed to the chewing gum sticking to his chest and the moisture, feeling rather gloomy, but Wang Xiang¡¯s eyes were swollen and red, and his tears fell like broken pearls.


    ¡°You won¡¯t die even if you swallowed the gum! Why are you afraid of such a small deal?¡± Zheng Kai was outraged.


    ¡°Brother Kai...¡± Wang Xiang sighed.


    ¡°Sir, are you alive? The door on my side is broken. Can you open it on your side?¡± Zheng Kai pushed a Wang Xiang again and said, ¡°Stop mourning! Push your door!¡±


    ¡°Brother Kai...¡± Wang Xiang whispered, and suddenly fell into Zheng Kai¡¯s arms, crying.


    ¡°What are you doing? Zheng Kai was confused.


    ¡°Why?¡± Wang Xiang was crying hoarsely. At that time, Wang Xiang had not realized, only felt warm. It turned out his whole body was covered in Zheng Kai¡¯s bosom. No matter how bumpy the car was, Wang Xiang¡¯s body waspletely undamaged, but he saw Zheng Kai¡¯s forehead, arm, and neck were scratched and bruised.


    ¡°What? Let¡¯s go out to see which b*stard did it first!¡± Zheng Kai was holding Wang Xiang¡¯s clothes on his back, but he could not drag him.


    ¡°Why did you protect others every time there was a danger? Why did you have to fight against so many people when Wenxi was in danger? Why would you help Wanxin stop the knife? Our lives matter, and didn¡¯t your life matter?¡± Wang Xiang held Zheng Kai in his arms and kept crying.


    ¡°You are so weak and would hinder me, which is why I like to fight alone!¡± Zheng Kai said indignantly.


    ¡°Brother Kai, I feel bad!¡± Wang Xiang sobbed. ¡°If something happens to you, I will not live!¡±


    ¡°You f*cking...¡± Zheng Kai was speechless for a moment. He kept pushing the door with his elbow. After a while, he pulled out a safety hammer from the back seat and shouted at Wang Xiang, ¡°Get back.¡±


    Wang Xiang did not move.


    ¡°It¡¯s important to do business. You b*stard, don¡¯t follow me next time!¡± Zheng Kai pulled Wang Xiang, who embraced his waist and abdomen like a twisted lollipop, but he refused to let go.


    Zheng Kai inexplicably recalled that Gu Xi was disgruntled in the past. He was neither angry nor scolding. He could not help saying ¡°Be good¡±. Gu Xi immediately turned angry into happy. He cleared his throat and his facial muscles twitched. ¡°Be good...¡±


    Wang Xiang shouted God, jumped up and huddled back. He hugged himself tightly, and could not help smoothing the goosebumps on his body.¡±


    ¡°B*stard!¡± Zheng Kai muttered and made a sudden effort. After several times, he finally broke the window and cleared away the residual ss debris. Then he barely got out and looked at the road. There was no one on the street.


    This area was a traffic blind area, without street lights, and even the road signs had been damaged. In light of it, it was impossible to catch up with Lin Wenxi again.


    Deep in the dark of the night, Luo Yang asked curiously, ¡°Boss Mo, we could speed up to hit it to the bottom of cliff, since it was deste here. Our driver was absolutely capable! Those who stood in the way were just disgusted with life.¡±


    Mo Qian smiled but said nothing, thinking in his heart, ¡°Zheng Kai, your coat saved everyone¡¯s life in the car.¡±


    County A.


    ¡°Uncle Hong Xuan, did Zhao Yuane over? I aming!¡± Lin Wenxi said on the phone. Road Flower was such arge street. Lin Wenxi looked at the address and raised his head. The building number brand was strikingly hanging on the wall. It should be in such a downtown area.


    ¡°He hasn¡¯t been here! Those who were tracking Zhao Yuan had a car ident. Wenxi, it should be revealed.¡± Hong Xuan looked very sad.


    ¡°I¡¯m outside the door. Wait for me to discuss it,¡± Lin Wenxi said, pushing open the door of the warehouse.


    The cold sharp knife rested on the neck, and his belongings were quickly taken away.


    The lights inside instantly made him dazzling, but Lin Wenxi clearly saw that a group of unfamiliar people with angry eyes, holding knives or sticks, or lying or holding, or smoking or pinching beer bottles, which was in a state of disorder.


    And Zhao Yuan was standing in the middle.

 Chapter 151 (Blood Cannot Be Sacrificed Wine) Sharp Dagger with Cold Light against the Lover

    <h4>Chapter 151 (Blood Cannot Be Sacrificed Wine) Sharp Dagger with Cold Light against the Lover</h4>


    A few hours ago.


    Zhao Yuan received a text message, ¡°Task Address: No. XXX of the Flower Road. Task: Whoeveres in, except our own brother, cut off his ears.¡±


    Zhao Yuan couldn¡¯t help but wonder that his assignment had always been brief, and the rest was decided by himself. But this time, the task was so clear, even for the details. Whose ears should be cut off?


    At the same time, Zhao Yuan also knew that Mo Shi gradually recognized himself. Finally, the task of this time was not to escort, transfer and stare at someone, but to really see the blood.


    Zhao Yuan washed his face in the public toilet.


    These hands were about to be stained with blood, no matter whose it would be.


    Zhao Yuan couldn¡¯t help washing his hands over and over again. Suddenly he heard Lin Wenxi weeping. Suddenly it seemed that Gu Xi¡¯s blood had flowed into the pond. He seemed to see Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes with tears, looking at himself and seemingly saying thousands of words.


    He washed his hands again and rinsed them repeatedly.


    In a deep breath, in the dark night, a gloomy young man went out. In his heart only left Lin Ziwei¡¯s helplessness when he begged for him, only left Huang Xiya¡¯s so-called efforts when he kneeled in front of her, and only left the bloody knife behind Zheng Kai and the pain in his heart when Lin Wenxi was attacked. Also, there were tears streaming from his crazy mother, as well as the cold body of his father, Zhao Mingjiang, and a pool of blood of Zheng Zihuan¡¯s on the ground! A debt of blood should be paid by blood too!


    There was only darkness, dense darkness on the road to the end.


    Half an hour ago, Zhao Yuan had already arrived here. There were a line of Mo Shi fighters in it. They either practiced freestyle grappling or the scums who were forced or volunteered to degenerate. Their skills were all extraordinary. All had daggers or sticks in their hands. Whom would they deal with? Why?


    The warehouse was located in the main street of the Flower Road, the busiestmercial and trade area of City A. At the back of the first floor of the busiest shopping mall were entertainment and leisure ces on both sides. The road was crowded with people and vehicles.


    At the main entrance of the warehouse, all the street lights were on, all the corridor lights of the main door were open, and the main door was half-open. Magnesium lights and lighting lights in the warehouse were all shining with dazzling light, as if they were afraid that the visitors would note, and prepared it specially.


    Who was it?


    When the door opened, Zhao Yuan waspletely shocked. How could it be Lin Wenxi? How was it possible that he was alone? What about Hong Xuan? Where were all Hong Xuan¡¯s subordinates? Didn¡¯t Zheng Kai follow him all the time?


    Several doubts rose in Zhao Yuan¡¯s mind. Suddenly he realized that it was an insidious trap.


    ¡°009, our task is to keep an eye on you, and you are clear about your own task. Do it.¡± Two rough-faced fighters escorted Lin Wenxi and pushed him to Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°What task?¡± When Lin Wenxi saw the situation, his mind was awake. Hong Xuan must be trapped by the trick to lure the tiger from the mountain! The reason why he came here was that Chen Wanxin and Mo Shi worked hand in glove with each other. But what on earth did Chen Wanxin intend to do?


    ¡°To make it clear, today, it¡¯s the day of 009 to make his promise that he will be loyal to Mo Shi. The require was too f*cking simple. Just cut off your ear. Hey? We brothers risked our lives for it!¡± A scarred face pushed Lin Wenxi forward fiercely. ¡°Zhao Yuan, we are ordered that if the task ispleted, we brothers will respect you as our boss!¡± Saying, he saluted with hands folded and raised in front of his face to Zhao Yuan. More than ten other fellows formed a circle and also paid tribute to Zhao Yuan.


    Lin Wenxi was standing upright, but there was no panic in his heart. He knew that Chen Wanxin might be so frenzied but she would never hurt Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°What would be if he didn¡¯tplete?¡± Lin Wenxi asked coldly.


    ¡°Well, we¡¯ll do it for him! Also, Zhao Yuan will leave an ear, as a punishment for betrayal, and he will be permanently removed from the Mo¡¯s family!¡± The scarred face grinned sinister and said, ¡°To be our boss, he must cut an ear, otherwise, we brothers can¡¯t be convinced!¡±


    ¡°Oh? I could go out alive.¡± Lin Wenxi smiled slightly. ¡°It seems that someone has shown mercy on me.¡±


    ¡°Right, what background on earth did youe from? Should the boss show mercy to you? As a matter of fact, it¡¯s easy to kill you!¡± The scarred faceughed loudly.


    ¡°It turned out that Chen Wanxin was afraid of someone!¡± ¡°Since Chen Wanxin is afraid of those behind me, if you do anything to me, will you not be afraid of being treated as a scapegoat by her? Do you want to think more about it? Those behind me can deal with it as the meritorious service. Maybe it won¡¯t be long before you can go back to your homes and find your mothers.¡± Lin Wenxi smiled again.


    ¡°I never heard of Chen Wanxin you just mentioned! But boy! You have a good eloquence, but you are still young and naive. Who has home and mother when entering Mo¡¯s family? Even if someone who was stupid goes with you, he must be dead when hees out again. Do you understand?¡± Someone wasughing gloomily.


    Lin Wenxi could not help but look at Zhao Yuan in silence.


    The dagger in Zhao Yuan¡¯s hand had been trembling all the time.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan won¡¯t do anything to me. Whoever with clean handses over to take my ears!¡± Lin Wenxi said calmly.


    ¡°It matters whether Zhao Yuan is willing to give up his ears or not. Why are you so anxious? There¡¯s so much nonsense, Zhao Yuan, hurry up. Brothers are waiting for you to be sworn brothers together, and light incense!¡± The scared face approached Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°What are you anxious about? This person in front is my college ssmate. If I cut off his ears, should I continue my college education?¡± Zhao Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Crap! When you determined to enter Mo¡¯s family, how can you care about the past and the future? This is our iron-blooded oath when we entered Mo¡¯s family. Since you really join the Mo Shi, how can you stay in the f*cking university? Don¡¯t forget, Zhao Yuan, it is you who are begging for Mo¡¯s family. Mo¡¯s family not only gives you money, but also your family¡¯s blood debt! If you refused to do it, are you going to be a scout for entering Mo¡¯s family? None of the scouts of Mo¡¯s family had a good ending!¡± the scarred face said gloomily.


    Zhao Yuan¡¯s fist went straight into the heart of the scarred face, which was almost Zhao Yuan¡¯s all strength. The scarred face was suddenly hit, almost spitting blood, half kneeling on the ground and lying on his back in a sandbag on one side. ¡°Zhao Yuan, are you really...!¡±


    ¡°As your boss, I¡¯ll let you know first. The boss is not willing to hear subordinate being too loquacious. The boss doesn¡¯t like his subordinate to talk about his family, so behave well. Is that clear?¡± Zhao Yuan scolded fiercely, and his eyebrows were cold. A lot of fighters had heard of Zhao Yuan¡¯s martial skill. They dare not retort, and had to keep nodding.


    Zhao Yuan held the dagger and slowly approached Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan!¡± Lin Wenxi could not help slowly retreating, but he was repressed fiercely by two of them.


    Zhao Yuan came to Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan!¡± Lin Wenxi shook his head incessantly, and his tears rushed down. ¡°Zhao Yuan, my blood must not be the sacrificial wine to send you to a road of no return!¡± If you do it, I will immediately die in front of you to sacrifice your father, my uncle Zhao in blood!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± Zhao Yuan said coldly.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, you, you won¡¯t, will you?¡± Lin Wenxi lost his voice and cried out that the dagger with cold light had been raised, and drew an arc in the air. Lin Wenxi closed his eyes painfully and tears came unexpectedly. ¡°Zhao Yuan, from now on, you are a passer-by!¡±


    ¡°Zhao Yuan!¡± A sad scream came from behind, and the dagger stopped in mid-air.

 Chapter 152 (It Was a Relief) Zhang Dong Alone Entered the Extremely Dangerous Place

    <h4>Chapter 152 (It Was a Relief) Zhang Dong Alone Entered the Extremely Dangerous ce</h4>


    When they turned around, they saw a man holding an iron rod, with the momentum of an avnche, pounced forward and came directly to Zhao Yuan.


    Zhao Yuan did not stop him and was swept straight out.


    The man came to protect Lin Wenxi with one hand, and suddenly pulled out his pistol. He scolded the crowd gloomily, ¡°Who dares to go forward?¡±


    Under the muzzle of the ck hole, someone eximed, ¡°Zhang Dong of the top list!¡±


    It was Zhang Dong who protected Lin Wenxi. At that time, he also worked in City A. It was to force to ask archives, which was originally the task of Zhao Yuan, but was given to Zhang Dong. He had sessfullypleted the task, but suddenly received a phone call from a strange woman. ¡°Lin Wenxi is in trouble. Address XXXX¡± and quickly hung up.


    Zhang Dong came in through the window behind the warehouse. More than a dozen people were listening to Zhao Yuan, so they did not realize that an excellent fighter came in from behind.


    Zhao Yuan did not see the visitor clearly just now. He was deliberately beaten out without stopping the sticks. He could not help but be angry with blood directly rushing to his head. He, waving his dagger, directly came to Zhang Dong.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan!¡± Zhang Dong roared, and the gun pointed directly at Zhao Yuan. ¡°Things between us will naturally be dealt withter!¡± Then he squinted to Zhao Yuan to signal Lin Wenxi.


    Zhao Yuan suddenly came to his senses. He understood what Zhang Dong meant. He really lost his mind. Now, saving Lin Wenxi¡¯s life first was the most important thing.


    ¡°Whoever has the key, if you don¡¯t hand it out, I¡¯ll kill your boss first! Put the knife down!¡± Zhang Dong held the gun to Zhao Yuan¡¯s forehead. Zhao Yuan looked at him angrily. Zhang Dong was so close to himself that he could dodge away and hit Zhang Dong¡¯s key point with a knife. The great hatred about his father could be paid. But so, Wenxi...


    Zhao Yuan chose to give up and threw the dagger on the ground.


    Soon, someone handed over the key. Zhao Yuan just now was ready to do it, which was tantamount topleting the task of Mo¡¯s family. He was surely the leader of these people.


    The door was opened, and immediately another gun grabbed Zhang Dong¡¯s forehead.


    ¡°Wenxi, run!¡± Zhang Dong snorted.


    ¡°Zhang Dong! Who order you to kill Uncle Zhao. Tell me!¡± Lin Wenxi shouted.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t kill him,¡± Zhang Dong said in a low voice, ¡°Run!¡±


    Lin Wenxi was slightly surprised but he couldn¡¯t consider too much at the moment. Looking back at Zhao Yuan, he could not hold his tears any more. He hurriedly rushed to the corner.


    ¡°Zhang Dong, the person you intend to guarantee has run away. Please admit your guilt with me.¡± The oneing had a peaceful face, but his smile was faint.


    ¡°Boss Zhang!¡± Zhao Yuan eximed. The person who came was the keeper of MO Capital who usually gave him the task.


    Zhang Dong didn¡¯t move.


    ¡°Okay, anyway, Lin Wenxi should go far.¡± Boss Zhang looked up at the watch and said, ¡°Let¡¯s put down our guns. It¡¯s not very good to point at our brothers.¡±


    They put down their guns together, looked at each other andughed, and went into the distant night.


    Zhao Yuan rushed out and shouted at Zhang Dong¡¯s back, ¡°Zhang Dong, if it was not you, who was that?!¡±


    If it wasn¡¯t Zhang Dong, who would it be? If it wasn¡¯t Zhang Dong, it may not be done by the Mo¡¯s family. If it wasn¡¯t Mo¡¯s family, were his painstaking efforts for a long time in vain? Zhao Yuan looked nkly at the two¡¯s distant backs for a moment, hitting at the door and unable to speak.


    Boss Zhang handed Zhang Dong a cigarette. ¡°Brother, what you said was like one piece of stone killing three birds, which was brilliant.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m ttered.¡± Zhang Dong ignited the cigarette and exhaled a deep breath of mist.


    ¡°As long as you didn¡¯t admit it was you, you won¡¯t betray the Mo¡¯s family. Your parents will still be safe and sound. Then Zhao Yuan would think that there was someone else who killed his father, and that it would be meaningless for him to join the Mo¡¯s family to investigate. Next, Lin Wenxi will surely believe you. He may also shift his target. At least in the short run, he should not make trouble with Mo¡¯s family... He can keep safe for the time being.¡± Boss Zhang smiled and said, ¡°You have so many people to protect. Can you deal with it? You don¡¯t think for yourself?¡±


    ¡°You know too much, Boss Zhang. Why don¡¯t you ask first, how do I know here?¡± Zhang Dong smiled coldly.


    ¡°I know the person who secretly sent news to you, but Boss Mo can¡¯t do anything to her.¡± Boss Zhang seemed very reassured.


    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡±


    ¡°What do you think you will be punished when you go back this time?¡± Boss Zhang¡¯s tone of voice was very sincere.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. It is a relief if I will die,¡± Zhang Dong said with a smile.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter with death?¡± Boss Zhang sighed. ¡°Boss Mo is not such a fool. Be careful. It is my duty to atone for my sins, so please forgive me.¡±


    ¡°Fine.¡± Zhang Dong threw away his cigarette butt. ¡°Give me another one. I¡¯m tired of it.¡±


    Atst, Hong Xuan contacted Lin Wenxi and rushed to take him back. On the way, Lin Wenxi said nothing but shed tears in silence.


    ¡°He really did it to me...¡±


    ¡°He really did it to me for Mo¡¯s family.¡±


    ¡°If it was not Zhang Dong... Who was it?¡±


    He hadn¡¯t seen Zhao Yuan¡¯s smile and his gentle eyes for a long time.


    After a long time, Lin Wenxi exined to Hong Xuan all the events of that day. He just made up a lie that Zhao Yuan was going to cut off his ears, and Zhang Dong came out to save him.


    ¡°What Zhang Dong said alone was not credible. All the evidence was directed at him, unless other evidence is obtained,¡± Hong Xuan said, ¡°Chen Wanxin did it to you, and also intended to cut off your ears?¡±


    Lin Wenxi clenched his teeth and nodded.


    ¡°I¡¯ll make a solemn statement with your father. Besides, what are you going to do about Chen Wanxin?


    ¡°I have no idea. That¡¯s it,¡± Lin Wenxi suddenlyughed and said. ¡°When will our mutual injuries be avenged on each other?¡±


    Hong Xuan didn¡¯t expect that Lin Wenxi would say discouraged words. He wanted to ask again but since they had arrived at the school, Lin Wenxi went out of the car and left. Hong Xuan waved and sent several people to follow Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Don¡¯t go out of school these days until I tell you.¡± Hong Xuan stepped on the gas and drove a long way.


    Zhao Yuan thought, ¡°He must be very disappointed with me.¡±


    When Zhao Yuan picked up his dagger to approach Lin Wenxi, he silently thought that Lin Wenxi was four meters away from the gate. The gate was locked and the key was in the right hand of the man. The people on the left and right sides of Lin Wenxi should be dealt with and beat them. He pushed Lin Wenxi to the door, open the lock, and it would cost 15 seconds. Those who horizontally and sidelingy on the ground would not rush over so quickly for the time being. He could fight those who were standing for half a minute.


    As for what remained, at that time, Zhao Yuan did not care whether he would be chopped to death by the daggers or forced to cut off his ears. He knew that Lin Wenxi was his fate. The conditions given by Mo¡¯s family were so simple. He knew that he could do it to anyone. However, facing Lin Wenxi, Zhao Yuan found that he had no chance to win.


    Just Chen Wanxin!


    Zhao Yuan wandered all night in City A, and took the bus back in the early morning.


    Last night, Zhao Yuan stayed up all night without answering the phone. It looked like he started to do it to Wenxi? In the morning, while pouring tea for herself, Chen Wanxin thought of the look of Zhao Yuan when he came in the door that day. It was so gentle and attentive and Lin Wenxi was full of affection as if his eyeballs almost seeped out.


    She gently opened the cup lid. ording to Zhao Yuan¡¯s characteristic, presumably these ps could not fall down. In this way, Zhao Yuan¡¯s task could be regarded as a failure, and the Mo¡¯s family might be even more disappointed with Zhao Yuan. If Zhao Yuan could really hit Lin Wenxi, ording to his personality, he would not testify to himself. He should have run away with tears in disappointment. But Zhao Yuan felt guilty about Lin Wenxi, and did not know what would happen to the mission from Mo¡¯s family next time?


    Chen Wanxin was even a littlecent. The door opened. Zhao Yuan came back with a ghastly pale face. Chen Wanxin smiled and stood up gracefully.

 Chapter 153 (Tears Was Falling in My Blood) Zheng Kai Kissed Goodbye to Gu Xi

    <h4>Chapter 153 (Tears Was Falling in My Blood) Zheng Kai Kissed Goodbye to Gu Xi</h4>


    A loud p fell on Chen Wanxin¡¯s face.


    ¡°Malicious woman!¡± Zhao Yuan still felt it was not enough, so he pped her again. Chen Wanxin¡¯s tender white cheeks immediately showed two clear palm marks.


    ¡°Yuan, make it clear!¡± Chen Wanxin was panting on the tea table, but Zhao Yuan tore her hair up.


    ¡°You framed Lin Wenxi, deceived him, and colluded with the Mo¡¯s family with such a vicious means! Chen Wanxin, I should think that you still have a little kindness because we are ssmates!¡± Zhao Yuan shouted furiously and suddenly pushed Chen Wanxin to the wall. He turned around and mmed the door to leave angrily.


    On Zhao Yuan¡¯s way to Jifu University, Chen Wanxin¡¯s text message came.


    ¡°I admit it! I deceived Wenxi to City A. I asked Boss Zhang to give you a task. It was to p Wenxi in the face. If you don¡¯t believe it, you can challenge Boss Zhang face to face! I know you can¡¯t bear to do it. I just thought that if you fail this task, the Mo¡¯s family world despise you even more! Zhao Yuan, I, Chen Wanxin did never fail to acknowledge what I did it! ¡±


    Zhao Yuan deleted the text message and ran to Jifu University.


    Lin Wenxi was not in the dormitory.


    ¡°Where is Wenxi?¡± Zhao Yuan asked with concern.


    ¡°He has gone to see Gu Xi off in the station and he has already cried in the dormitory,¡± Wang Xiang said discontentedly, ¡°Well, Zhao Yuan, where did you gost night? A¡¯Kai and I were chasing Lin Wenxi¡¯s car but we met with a car ident on the road. We almost lost our lives!¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Zhao Yuan sat on the bed of Lin Wenxi, looking silently at a pair of statues on the table, and all sorts of past events came into his mind.


    Wang Xiang told briefly about the identst night. If it was not an ident, it must be those from the Mo¡¯s family. However, Chen Wanxin had no reason to do cruelly to Wang Xiang and Zheng Kai. Zhao Yuany on the bed of Lin Wenxi with his hands on his head. He buried his head in the pillow and breathed deeply. On his body, it was such a delicate taste. It was not fragrance, nor sour sweat. It was only Wenxi¡¯s special taste. For a long time, he hadn¡¯t smelt it and seen his smile for a long time. Zhao Yuan explored his hand gently, and the pillow towel was wet.


    Zhao Yuan was ready to sob.


    Last night when Lin Wenxi returned to his dormitory, it was not long after Zheng Kai and Wang Xiang were wrapped up in the clinic. Lin Wenxi knew what had happened to Zheng Kai and Wang Xiang. He looked at Zheng Kai¡¯s face, with red potion smeared on his neck and arge bandage on his arm. The disgust against him because of Gu Xi was reduced at that time. But thinking of Gu Xi, he couldn¡¯t help sighing. ¡°If Zheng Kai devoted half of the heart and soul to Gu Xi, like he treating me, Gu Xi would not be in such a situation!¡±


    Lin Wenxi did not intend to repeat what had happened the previous night. He only mentioned that he was fine and Zhao Yuan was OK. And then he felt sleepy.


    An hour ago, Lin Wenxi woke up in the morning light. His nose seemed acor and his eyes were slightly sticky. He touched the pillow and scolded that he himself was not promising in his heart. But suddenly he saw a stranger sitting on his bed and looking at himself with a faint smile.


    His hair was dyed golden, like a thick golden colour, under which long eyebrows prated like brushes. Under the eyebrow brush was a pair of eyes which were very bright. The soft orange light shone in the eyes, like the fox spirit in ancient Chinese myths. His lips were red and gently wiped. There was a sneer that seemed to see through the whole world. Two ears ring brightly shook under the earlobes, which showed endless loneliness.


    The man stretched out five pale fingers, and bright red nails were on them. They gently extended to Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Gu Xi!¡± Lin Wenxi was so surprised that he couldn¡¯t shut his mouth. At the same time, Zheng Kai and Wang Xiang also turned to get up.


    ¡°Hey, you weren¡¯t in the hospitalst night, and you refused to see us, so it turned out that you went to cosy again?¡± Wang Xiang asked quickly.


    ¡°You go out and I¡¯ll talk to Wenxi alone for a while,¡± Gu Xi said coldly.


    Wang Xiang immediately tidied up and ran out. Zheng Kai tidied up for a moment, and looked at Lin Wenxi. It was not until Lin Wenxi nodded at him that he went out.


    ¡°Why did you look like this?¡± Lin Wenxi asked sadly.


    ¡°This is me,¡± Gu Xi said calmly.


    ¡°Howe? You... Why do you dress up as women? Where did you go to cosy? Why can I not recognize who you are dressing up as?¡± Lin Wenxi asked with some sillyughter.


    ¡°I never cosy anybody, and I only y myself. If even you don¡¯t ept me, Gu Xi, that¡¯s it.¡± Gu Xi still kept smiling.


    ¡°No, I don¡¯t mean that, but as soon as you show your nature, I thought I went into ancient Chinese ghost stories.¡± It was still a bit hard for Lin Wenxi to believe.


    ¡°Oh, well, the lovely little fox spirit of ghost stories is here to say goodbye to you, you schr!¡± Gu Xi said with a smile.


    ¡°What? No, I¡¯m trying to find a way out. I can help you with your expelling!¡± Lin Wenxi took Gu Xi¡¯s arm.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Gu Xi smiled shallowly. ¡°Don¡¯t you see me off?¡±


    ¡°No...¡± Lin Wenxi shouted.


    Gu Xi went out on his own.


    They walked out of the dormitory one by one. Lin Wenxi felt that the eyes of his ssmates in the corridor were like electric light bulbs, ring and dazzling. He almost instinctively held Gu Xi¡¯s shoulder and put his head close to his chest, so as not to let more burning eyes fall on his fragile skin. His skin was almost transparent. It was so transparent that the blood flow inside could be seen, and the heart trembling constantly could also be seen.


    Lin Wenxi wanted to send Gu Xi to sit in the woods, but Gu Xi refused. He held his head high to wee everyone¡¯s strange eyes and walked along the north-south main road of the school.


    Lin Wenxi put his arm around Gu Xi and said, ¡°Our masks grow out of heaven. To tear them off is to tear off ayer of skin alive. What kind of pain and determination do you have to make this happen?¡±


    Gu Xi seemed to be hit by something, and his body trembled violently. He quickly squatted on a stone by the roadside. Tears rustled down and dropped into the cracks.


    ¡°Wenxi, there¡¯s a saying that people die like lights off, but I think the death of heart is more like lights off,¡± Gu Xi said with a smile.


    He hugged him tightly, and the sound of the camera shed around him. So, Lin Wenxi grabbed a stone and threw it at where the sound came.


    ¡°D*mn it, do you want to kill people? How many can you kill? We all saw it!¡± someone shouted angrily not far away.


    The student was a school newspaper reporter. He identally passed by, and photographed the scene that Lin Wenxi deeply embraced Gu Xi out of professional habits. Of course, he knew Lin Wenxi. He had heard that Lin Wenxi was mild-tempered, unttered and not a troublemaker, so he did not expect to be bothered by the photography. But he did not know that Lin Wenxi threw a stone without saying one word. He was seemingly careless but urately hit his hand, and the mobile phone almost fell to the ground.


    He was a little angry, because he thought he had no malicious intentions. So he was full of nausea after the attack and scolded Lin Wenxi. What made him even angrier was that Lin Wenxi had been holding the boy gently and quietly, as if there was no bystander in the world at all.


    It was said that the greatest punishment for the enemy wasplete disregard. Lin Wenxi was like an iceberg that looked up to the horizon, cold and solemn, and refused to give him even the light from the corner of his eye. He was provoked by this action. He remembered Lin Wenxi¡¯s identity and felt that he had been treated like this because of his different identities. He was provoked and shouted, ¡°Killing!¡±


    This shout was serious. Many people looked around here. Lin Wenxi suddenly felt the pressure of people¡¯s eyes. He still held Gu Xi in his arms and didn¡¯t care them.


    Gu Xiughed in a dry voice, ¡°I thought I had lost everything, but now I know what I lost is only the scenery I saw. I never knew that the person who apanied me to see the scenery is also an indispensable beauty.¡±


    Gu Xi wanted to struggle away from Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxi¡¯s strength was getting stronger and stronger so that he couldn¡¯t move.


    ¡°Well, the more people look at us, the more you stubbornly show it to others,¡± Gu Xi said with a smile.


    ¡°Look, I¡¯m going to turn my cold eyes to them. Don¡¯t show your weakness,¡± Lin Wenxi said softly.


    Gu Xi always had some worries about Lin Wenxi. Although he was going to leave, Lin Wenxi had to spend the remaining two years here. Gu Xi was not afraid to absurdly kiss the teaching director in public, but he never wanted to influence Lin Wenxi. So one wanted to hold, but another wanted to push. It was like Lin Wenxi wanted to bully Gu Xi.


    The students who were hit felt that he was provoked. Maybe they could be used as headline news pictures, but now they could be exposed to the public in advance, which made him feel that his work results were mercilessly giarized. He held up a stone and tried to smash back to Lin Wenxi. He dared not hurt him, but at least he had to smash Lin Wenxi¡¯s little foot.


    A big hand grasped his wrist tightly. Soon he felt his hand was paralyzed, so his fingers were loose and the stone fell.


    Lin Wenxi heard the falling of stones and nced over there. He saw the man thrown out by Zheng Kai without a word. It could be dubbed with a swish.


    ¡°What are you looking at? Does the fist look good?¡± Zheng Kai shouted around, and soon the crowd began to scatter, but some people in the crowd muttered, ¡°How many protagonists are there in this y?¡±


    As the crowd disbanded, Lin Wenxi let go of Gu Xi and sighed with relief,ughing at Zheng Kai.


    Lin Wenxi apanied Gu Xi around the whole campus and took him to the long-distance passenger station. Gu Xi did not expect that Lin Wenxi would take himself all the way to the railway station on the edge of the city.


    They two with red eyes in the long-distance bus had been crying constantly. After crying, they talked so much. Even if they were silent when they stopped, they could look at each other¡¯s eyes where there were endless words.


    ¡°Why can¡¯t we be together, tell me?¡± Gu Xi asked, holding Lin Wenxi¡¯s arm.


    ¡°Do you love me?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    Gu Xi was silent, then smiled and said, ¡°Yes, I love and respect you.¡±


    Departure was like tomorrow. Even if you didn¡¯t want it, it woulde when you woke up in the morning, or when a ray of sunshine entered the room.


    Those who should go would go.


    At that time, there were tform tickets at the railway station. He went to help Gu Xi settle his luggage. The big suitcase was really heavy. Gu Xi and Lin Wenxi lifted the suitcase together. Gu Xi was not tall enough, and Lin Wenxi could not finish it alone.


    A pair of big hands stretched out, and then it was Zheng Kai¡¯s silent face.


    Lin Wenxi was shocked. He followed all the way from Jifu University to the passenger station, and took a bus for nearly two hours from the station to the edge of the railway station.


    ¡°Gu Xi... No matter where you go, take good care of yourself, I¡¯m sorry, these years, you always take care of me and care everything about me. Besides asionally fighting for you and doing some hard work, I have no use at all. That night... I...¡±


    ¡°Stop talking.¡± Gu Xi¡¯s eyes were flooded with tears instantly.


    ¡°Gu Xi, when you were in the hospital, I said that you can do whatever you want me to do. You asked me to kiss you, right?¡± Zheng Kai said calmly.


    Lin Wenxi felt that Gu Xi¡¯s finger on his arm tightened suddenly.


    ¡°Gu Xi, if I said that I sincerely wanted to do it this time, would you dislike me and feel I am dirty?¡± Zheng Kai asked.


    ¡°Zheng Kai! Are you crazy?¡± Lin Wenxi could not help but ask.


    ¡°Gu Xi, I¡¯m not good at talking, you know. I can¡¯t be with you, and I can¡¯t understand your feelings... But now I can at least believe that they do exist, undeniably exist... I grew up without any ymates. The days I felt gentle... It¡¯s all the days when you¡¯re around. I can¡¯t repay what you did for me in the past eight years. I don¡¯t know how to express my feelings. But I want to kiss you, hold you, and wish you all peace and good luck. Will you, Gu Xi? I may only kiss in my whole life... you, such a boy...¡± Zheng Kai said with great difficulty and hesitation.


    Gu Xi covered his face, and his eyes glistened with tears which were rolling down like broken pearls, holding the eight years ofpanionship.


    Gu Xi burst into tears and plunged into Zheng Kai¡¯s arms.


    Those two lips were closely linked, not because of love In that instant, he felt that the world hadpletely stopped. For eight years, he had sunk and drifted in a bitter sea, and even nearly drowned himself. Eventually, he saw a calm harbour.


    He was satisfied with everything in the past eight years.


    Lin Wenxi was already in tears, holding his seat and looking up at the top of the carriage.


    Unexpectedly, there was no apuse. As was expected, there were only disdainful onlookers. But Gu Xi¡¯s blooming smile became a beautiful scene that Lin Wenxi had never seen in his life.


    Zheng Kai¡¯s tears fell into Gu Xi¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Brother Kai... Don¡¯t cry... I haven¡¯t seen you cry in my life. You cannot cry because of me... No... I don¡¯t me you long ago,¡± Gu Xi said in a hoarse voice but Zheng Kai¡¯s tears had dried up.


    ¡°No... I am not crying.¡± Zheng Kai turned over and denied.


    ¡°Brother Kai, just one drop has fallen into my blood. I will remember that you are such a good brother who really pitied me and loved me.¡±


    ¡°The days I felt gentle were the days when you are around.¡±


    Gu Xi smiled slightly, and felt God treated him well.


    The train started.


    The train moved slowly, then speeded up, and ran forward at a high speed. Lin Wenxi followed it for a few steps. He seemed to see Gu Xi lying on the window waving relentlessly, as if he could smell a faint fragrance of Gu Xi.


    The old song yed in the railway station suddenly sounded, ¡°How are you feeling now? Do you still have that smile on your face? Since ancient times, there have been many sorrows and pains in life. Please be happier and have a free and easy life.


    The special voice and rich emotion of the old song came into Lin Wenxi¡¯s mind. He turned and the train sped northward.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to further north, where it is bone-chilling cold there, so that I can keep my mind awake forever. Maybe this heart will not often make me mentally and physically exhausted.¡±


    Lin Wenxi knew that no matter how cold the north was, Gu Xi would have a warm life as spring.


    ¡°Thank you, Zheng Kai, for being so kind.¡± Lin Wenxi smiled and wiped his tears.


    ¡°Don¡¯t tell anyone.¡± Zheng Kai was still a little embarrassed.


    ¡°Who says you can¡¯t be romantic and you can¡¯t talk, you man. You are so romantic¡ªall the gentle days were because you are around. Do you know? All the gentle days of my childhood are also because you are around,¡± Lin Wenxi said with a smile.


    ¡°Wenxi, I¡¯ve been thinking for a long time. I¡¯d better confess to you,¡± Zheng Kai said.

 Chapter 170 Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi Missed Each Other So Much that They Chose to Run Away Together

    <h4>Chapter 170 Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi Missed Each Other So Much that They Chose to Run Away Together</h4>


    ¡°No! None of these is true! All of this is fake!¡± Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t help bing furious.


    Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t remember how many time Lin Ziwei had pped in his face.


    Lin Ziwei was so angry that he almost fell to the ground. ¡°Now Zhao Yuan had corrected his own mistake and proved your innocence! How many more disgraceful things you are going to do?¡±


    ¡°Innocence? He and I are always innocence! I like him and he likes me. What is wrong with that? You must have forced him to do those things! What did you do to him? Did you threaten him with the case of his family?!¡± Lin Wenxi stared at Lin Ziwei with ring eyes.


    Lin Ziwei kicked Lin Wenxi down to the ground. But Lin Wenxi climbed up and made a threatening gesture. Then, he rushed to Lin Ziwei and was going to put up a desperate fight.


    Hong Xuan blocked in front of Lin Wenxi. ¡°Wenxi, calm down!¡±


    ¡°How can I calm down? Uncle Hong Xuan, Zhao Yuan, he has no father and no mother. He only has me now! How could you bear to treat him like that?¡± Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t stop crying and he struggled to rush to Lin Ziwei.


    ¡°This kid... This kid... What did Zhao Yuan do to turn your head? How can you be someone like this?¡± Covering her face, Huang Xiya held onto the chair. She felt so distressed as if her heart would break.


    ¡°Even if there is anything, don¡¯t wrangle with your father now. Take a step back!¡± Hong Xuan whispered sternly. Hong Xuan was actually very surprised because Lin Wenxi had never disobeyed his father since childhood. Lin Wenxi rarely quarreled with his father, let alone he was going to disrespectfully attack his father for real! In his heart, Hong Xuan somewhat felt that Director Lin was angry to the extreme. ording to his temperament, it was very possible for him to cut a finger of Lin Wenxi off on the spot.


    ¡°No! I am going to find him! I will make it clear to him!¡± Lin Wenxi grabbed Hong Xuan¡¯s arm and bit.


    Hong Xuan felt pain, but he didn¡¯t let Lin Wenxi go. ¡°Is that what a real man can do? You always bite! Go back to your room and calm yourself down first!¡± While saying this, he picked Lin Wenxi up around the waist and rushed to Lin Wenxi¡¯s bedroom within a few steps.


    ¡°Put him down!¡± Lin Ziwei shouted loudly. Hong Xuan could not help shivering and loosened Lin Wenxi. He anxiously whispered, ¡°Apologize to your father, Wenxi!¡±


    Lin Wenxi tore himself from him and came at Lin Ziwei again.


    In previous, Lin Ziwei was the superior of Hongxuan, so he was also a brave person who was good at fighting. Although he had been a government official for a decade and didn¡¯t practice the martial arts, he was still strong enough to subdue Lin Wenxi. He ducked sideways and directly grabbed the throat of Lin Wenxi by his fingers that curved like talons. He grasped Lin Wenxi by the throat and pressed him against the wall. Huang Xiya suddenly eximed.


    ¡°Tell me. What is your rtionship with Zhao Yuan?¡± Lin Ziwei asked coldly.


    ¡°We are a couple...¡±


    ¡°I will give you another fu*king chance! Answer me again!¡±


    ¡°We are lovers... I love him... He loves me...¡±


    ¡°I dare you to say that again!¡± Lin Ziwei became increasingly anxious. He exerted more strength to grab Lin Wenxi¡¯s neck. Now Lin Wenxi¡¯s tongue had rolled out a little, and arge part of the whites of his eyes also turned out.


    ¡°We are husband.... and wife... since... I was four...¡± Lin Wenxi¡¯s face already went purple, but he stared steadily at Lin Ziwei. His face twisted because of the pain of suffocation. But he still stubbornly refused to say what Lin Ziwei wanted to hear.


    Huang Xiya mmed the back of Lin Ziwei. Finally, she turned so anxious that she picked up a teacup and knocked it hard against her husband¡¯s head. The cup was smashed, and Lin Ziwei was bleeding. However, Lin Ziwei still stood still, his arm veins bulging. Lin Wenxi¡¯s tongue was pushed out a little. Because of the instinct to survive, Lin Wenxi struggled with his limbs kicking around involuntarily.


    ¡°Hong Xuan! You... You hurry... Wenxi, Wenxi is dying!! My child...¡± With her trembling hands, Huang Xiya picked up the fruit knife on the te. Shivering all over, she stood up slowly. At the moment, she looked at the back of her husband as if she were looking at a devil. At the sight of Lin Wenxi in misery, Huang Xiya walked up to Lin Ziwei step by step.


    Hong Xuan judged that Lin Ziwei did not intend to kill Lin Wenxi. Otherwise, he would have broken Lin Wenxi¡¯s neck already. Therefore, he endured the scene and waited for the change. But now, when he saw Huang Xiya going to stab Lin Ziwei, he had to jump on Lin Ziwei. Hong Xuan hit the crook of Lin Ziwei¡¯s arm with his elbow. Meanwhile, he bent his leg and directly threw Lin Ziwei to the ground. cing himself behind Lin Ziwei, Hong Xuan acted as a crash pad, and then they fell to the ground together.


    Lin Wenxi copsed to the ground from the wall. Huang Xiya hugged him and cried.


    Lin Ziwei stood up, lifted his foot, and kicked at Lin Wenxi. However, he kicked into Huang Xiya¡¯s belly instead. Immediately, shey down on Lin Wenxi, moaning ceaselessly.


    In a hurry, Lin Ziwei squatted down and held onto Huang Xiya¡¯s hands. He put her hands in his arms. After a long while, he asked in a trembling voice. ¡°It was me... It was my mistake... What should the Lin family do?¡±


    Hong Xuan waited until Lin Wenxi fetched his breath and helped him go back to his room. Lin Wenxi turned around and smiled coldly. ¡°Lin Ziwei! Remember that one day when you be old and are going to die, you will expect Zhao Yuan, who is the husband of you son, to nourish you in your old age and bury your dead body! As for me, I will never take care of you!¡± He turned around and mmed the door closed.


    ¡°When I finish the Zhao family¡¯s case, I wille back and send this evil son to the hospital!¡± With this, Lin Ziwei put his briefcase under his arm. Instantly, Hong Xuan stood beside him in high spirits.


    ¡°Keep an eye on this beast!¡± Lin Ziwei said, ¡°I will leave six people to help you.¡±


    Huang Xiya just shed tears in silence.


    That night, Lin Wenxi refused to eat and drink. Huang Xiya had to go to persuade him in his room. After a while, Lin Wenxi came out to eat. But Lin Ziwei and Hong Xuan were not there. Lin Wenxi felt a little surprise, but he maintained hisposure.


    The next day, whatever it was breakfast or lunch, Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t feel like eating. Naturally, Huang Xiya tried to relieve him of his unpleasant feelings. Also, she gave Lin Wenxi one more free hour at noon. Lin Wenxi noticed that three of the six guards left by his father were on duty now. He guessed that the other three guards must take the night shift.


    In the middle of the night, Lin Wenxi got up and went to the bathroom. He noticed that there was only one guard who was guarding outside his room. The other two should be patrolling around the house.


    That night, Lin Wenxi called out in the bathroom that he had a stomachache. When Huang Xiya was pouring the hot water for him, he took her phone in his hand. Later, when Huang Xiya came again, Lin Wenxi drank the water obediently. He told his mother that he would be fine after a few moments of rest. At that time, a message had already arrived at Zhao Yuan¡¯s phone.


    Another night, it was dark and windy outside. Once again, Lin Wenxi howled in pain with his hands on the stomach. Huang Xiya and two guards supported Lin Wenxi, and they rushed to the nearest hospital. For the moment, Lin Wenxi felt pain all over his skin, so the two guards did not dare to grasp him firmly. Looking at lights that were twinkling alternately at the alley, Lin Wenxi suddenly broke free, didn¡¯t know where he got the strength. At the end of the alley, Lin Wenxi saw the motorcycles of Zhao Yuan and Zheng Kai were blowing hot gas, and they waited for him in anxious. Immediately, Zhao Yuan grabbed Lin Wenxi into his arms. Then, they drove away at a fast speed in high spirits.


    Zheng Kai drove behind and kept the several guards away from Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan. He didn¡¯t allow those guards to touch their motorcycles. One of the guards pounced on Zheng Kai while the other two quickly sat on their police motorcycles and opened the red and blue double sh. Zheng Kai knocked the guard to the ground with his elbow. Right after that, he pressed hard against the elerator. With a series of the happy roaring of the motorcycle, he drove to the other direction.


    Before Yun Che and Zhu Ziping left, they left Lin Wenxi the motorcycle Zhao Yuan was riding now. It had the great horsepower and could run as fast as a car. Hence, those guards couldn¡¯t find them at all. They had to report the thing happened to Hongxuan. However, they couldn¡¯t reach Hong Xuan.


    ¡°Where are we going?¡± Leaning on Zhao Yuan¡¯s chest and clutching him tightly, Lin Wenxi closed his eyes with a smile and asked.


    ¡°You tell me.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯d like to get into your body.¡±


    ¡°Wenxi, are you ready?¡±


    Lin Wenxi buried his face deep in Zhao Yuan¡¯s chest and breathed deeply.


    ¡°To see you again, I was willing to go through any hardships.¡±


    No matter it was the end of the sky or the corners of the sea, Lin Wenxi would like to go with Zhao Yuan. Though there were thousands of words he wanted to say, Lin Wenxi only nodded affirmatively.

 Chapter 155 (Tell Zhang Dong) Mo Qian Got Wenxi Drunk This Night

    <h4>Chapter 155 (Tell Zhang Dong) Mo Qian Got Wenxi Drunk This Night</h4>


    ¡°The brilliant opinions of Yun Che and Zi Ping, helped me to resolve my doubts! Excuse me, I could not help overhearing what you said, as I was just next door. Hearing such a touching tale, I could not bear to disturb you.¡± Mo Qian said, with augh.


    ¡°Uncle Mo, why are you are here?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°Well, I am a frequent visitor here. But I have never seen my little friend Wenxi, here before! Fate! It must be fate!¡± Mo Qian said with a smile.


    ¡°Do you know each other?¡± Zhu Ziping asked happily. ¡°Uncle Qian oftenes here during the day, while Wenxi likes toe at night. So you two must have missed each other many times!¡±


    ¡°We met because of a lucky coincidence. We became friends, by ident. Our fate can live up to the meaningful words you two said just now!¡± Mo Qian seemed to be extremely happy.


    ¡°Uncle Qian usually helps to run the business at our store, which is very considerate of him. But we are unable to repay your kindness.¡± Yun Che said, respectfully.


    ¡°Boss Yun, you have magical hands. You gave my piano a good tuning. Also, you repaired and maintained it, which is wonderful!¡± Mo Qian waved his hand.


    ¡°I think they are going to close the store for the night. Since we have been brought together by fate, let¡¯s go somewhere to sit and chat.¡± Mo Qian smiled, and reached out to Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi nodded silently.


    In the early summer of May, the vitality of the city hadpletely recovered.


    They could see the whole bustling street. Mo Qian and Lin Wenxi turned left at the intersection of Pinghe Avenue and Binjiang Road. After walking for three minutes, they arrived at the ce, where they had their singing session, thest time.


    The hall was crowded with a lot of men and women, who were waiting in line. They were eager to spend their unused energy tonight. Some people were smartly dressed in suits, and some wore blue or green id T-shirts. There were women in skirts and ck silk stockings. Some women were in high heel tform shoes, while some were in glittery evening dresses. After passing by them, Lin Wenxi saw manyrge billboards, advertising newmercial buildings, hoping to attract potential investors. Behind those billboards were rows of grand-scale modern buildings, which had been newly built, after the demolition of the old ones. The buildings were arranged in neat order, like the teeth of ab. They nearly reached to the sky. Cars came and left in an endless stream, at the underground parking lot, next to the buildings. Indeed, it was easy to buy a car, but it was difficult to find a parking space. The parking lots at this ce were very popr, because supermarkets and many public facilities were situated around the area. In addition to that, there was a distinctive, local hotel, located at the side. The hotel was of a considerable size, and offered both amodation and catering services, as part of its attraction. It was over forty storeys high. Its windows with alloy aluminum edges, were neat and uniform, and those light cobalt blue windows reflected the clouds in the sky. Each day, they witnessed the sunrise and sunset, as well as the movement of the clouds. The hotel had a huge signboard, with colorful neon lights that shed continuously, 24 hours a day. Thus, the pedestrians far and near, could clearly see the signboard, which made this building a well knownndmark, in the nearby business area.


    The ce Mo Qian mentioned, was situated at thisndmark.


    The evening breeze made people feel heady and warm, as if they were not on the earth. The red wine in the goblet looked like blood. After drinking it, Lin Wenxi felt his heart racing, all of a sudden. Lin Wenxi held the goblet in his hand, and turned his face to the breeze. Seeing all the luxuries of the city and the bright lights, he suddenly asked Mo Qian, ¡°How do you feel about your marriage?¡±


    ¡°Me? I got divorced.¡± Mo Qian said.


    ¡°Why?¡± Lin Wenxi asked.


    ¡°I guess you must have read Qian Zhongshu¡¯s ¡®Fortress Besieged.¡¯ All I want to say, is in that book.¡± Mo Qian smiled and asked, ¡°So what about you?¡±


    Mo Qian lit a Cuban cigar. The smoke of the cigar drifted in the wind, and the aroma floated to the tip of Lin Wenxi¡¯s nose. He thought it smelt very nice. Somehow, he felt that Mo Qian looked very elegant, smoking the cigar.


    ¡°From time to time, my family often mention my childhood friend to me. She is a little sister, who lives next door, and has just entered the university. But I have not taken the initiative to contact her.¡±


    ¡°Well, that¡¯s your fault. You can try to get along with her. If she thinks that you two are not suitable for each other, then your parents will have no reason to force you. After all, forced love does notst.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re right. Don¡¯t you have any other person that you like?¡±


    ¡°No.¡±


    ¡°Oh? What kind of person will that be?¡± Lin Wenxi was very curious. He wondered what kind of girl would be able to win the heart of such a man.


    ¡°You.¡± Mo Qian slowly blew a ring of smoke, and said this very seriously.


    Lin Wenxi smiled and said, ¡°You can tell a joke, as if you mean it. People in your workce are truly frightening.¡±


    ¡°Do you want to hear the reason?¡±


    Lin Wenxi shook his head.


    Suddenly, Mo Qian flipped his left hand. In a blink of an eye, a rose appeared in his palm. He handed it to Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi did not take it. His eyes widened in disbelief. Whenever he watched any magic shows on TV, Lin Wenxi always thought that he would be alert enough to see through the magician¡¯s tricks, if it was done right in front of him. But he did not expect that Mo Qian could perform the trick, in such a wless way.


    ¡°If you do it again, I will take the rose.¡±


    Lin Wenxi kept his eyes wide open and waited for Mo Qian to do it again. He was trying to expose Mo Qian¡¯s trick. Mo Qian reached out to press against Lin Wenxi¡¯s back and moved toward his neck. Feeling an itch in his neck, Lin Wenxi looked down. It seemed that a brilliant red rose was about to blossom before his eyes. Lin Wenxi took it joyfully, grinning from ear to ear. He would force Mo Qian to teach him the trick.


    ¡°Do you want to hear the reason?¡± Mo Qian asked again, with a mischievous expression and gave Lin Wenxi a challenging look.


    Lin Wenxi nodded.


    ¡°To save a little statue, you were foolish enough to jump into the water, even though you know you can¡¯t swim. It shows that you value feelings. You are knowledgeable, but you never show off your talents. It indicates that you are a reserved and civilized person. When someone hands you a leaflet, you will not refuse him, and will take it. You won¡¯t throw it away in front of him, even if you are not interested. It shows that you judge others, as you would like to be judged by them. You always know what is appropriate and can behave properly on any asions. Also, you can control the scene, on those asions. All these suggests that you have an aura of power. Finally, you associate with people like me, which shows you have good taste.¡± Mo Qian said all these, in one go. Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t believe that the perfect person Mo Qian was raving about just now, was him.


    ¡°Do you want to know the reason why I don¡¯t like you?¡± Lin Wenxi smiled sweetly, with his head tilted.


    ¡°Say it.¡± Mo Qian was a little surprised.


    ¡°You have a glib tongue, which doesn¡¯t live up to the honest and elegant image, I have of you, in my mind. It suggests that you are a person who has two faces. Well, I fear this kind of person most.¡± Lin Wenxi was still smiling.


    ¡°Some people always like to treat the truth as a lie, just like there will always be someone, who will regard the truest confession, as a joke on All Fools¡¯ Day.¡± Mo Qian said.


    Lin Wenxi remembered he received a note from Shu Xiaoman, which said that she liked him, on April Fool¡¯s Day,st year. He took it as a joke. He also recalled that Shu Xiaoman begged him to be her boyfriend for just one minute, at the anniversary celebration, not too long ago. Lin Wenxi heaved a sigh.


    ¡°It seems that you remembered something that proved what I said, right?¡±


    ¡°No.¡± Lin Wenxi stubbornly denied this.


    ¡°Oh. Then, I will add onest reason. I also like your stubbornness.¡± Mo Qian smiled and handed the red wine to Lin Wenxi.


    Lin Wenxi drained the cup with one gulp. He began to cough violently.


    ¡°I have not formally confessed to Zhao Yuan. I, indeed have confessed in private, and Zhao Yuan would probably say, ¡°Then clean up yourself and wait for me.¡± After that, Lin Wenxi would take a shower. But he never got a chance to sleep with Zhao Yuan again. ¡°What if I confess to Zhao Yuan in public? Will that person say what Zheng Kai has asked: are we performing a campusedy?¡±


    ¡°Well, well. Forget it. Why would I think of this?¡±


    ¡°Friendship is like a person having two hearts. While love is that of two persons sharing one heart. If a couple are not of one heart, how can they say that they are in love with each other? At most, it is a kind of friendship, whereby people will greet each other sometimes, just like us.¡± Again, Mo Qian handed Lin Wenxi a ss of wine.


    After hearing Mo Qian¡¯s words, Lin Wenxi was stunned.


    That night Lin Wenxi was very drunk, and he was somewhat muddleheaded. He only remembered that Mo Qian helped him get into the car.


    Mo Qian looked at Lin Wenxi who had fallen asleep in the car, and picked up the phone. ¡°Tell Zhang Dong that someone has hijacked Lin Wenxi.¡±

 Chapter 156 (Everything Is Alright Now, Wenxi) Both Zhang Dong and Wenxi Fell into a Trap

    <h4>Chapter 156 (Everything Is Alright Now, Wenxi) Both Zhang Dong and Wenxi Fell into a Trap</h4>


    Mo Qian¡¯s car was driven through a busy street, but the driver of the car, was a stranger with an evil smile.


    The driver brought Lin Wenxi, who was totally sloshed, from the car to a hotel. Before long, a man wearing a peaked cap, walked hurriedly into the hotel and produced his ID card. The card showed the name Zhang Shouxi. Zhang Dong was a wanted criminal, so he changed to a new identity, to avoid being arrested.


    At the milk tea shop of Jifu University, a few clerks had been waiting anxiously for a long time already, but Lin Wenxi did not arrive. They went into the shop to check. They found out that the shop was vacant. Greatly shocked, they contacted Hong Xuan. Meanwhile, they went to Lin Wenxi¡¯s dorm to look for him. However, Lin Wenxi¡¯s phone was turned off.


    Late at night, Lin Wenxi was in a hotel.


    Someone had covered Lin Wenxi, who was d only in his underpants, with a thick cotton quilt. Lin Wenxi slept with a smile on his face. His intoxicated appearance resembled that of a tamed princess.


    Zhang Dong gently pushed open the door of the room. It seemed that the door was unlocked!


    Zhang Dong took a dagger from his trouser pocket, and held it in his hand. He pushed the door slowly, but nothing happened.


    The first thing Zhang Dong did, when he entered the room of the hotel, was to put back Lin Wenxi¡¯s clothes, and then he tucked him in. Zhang Dong was afraid that Lin Wenxi would catch cold, so he stretched out his hand, and touched his arms and chest. After a while, Zhang Dong went to check the table and the cab in the room, and even felt around the walls, for cameras. It was only when he confirmed that the room had no cameras that he felt greatly relieved.


    Zhang Dong sat at the edge of the bed for a long time, staring at Lin Wenxi, and was a little lost in thought.


    ¡°What is going on with you? How can you give Mo Qian an opportunity to take advantage of you?¡± Zhang Dong could not help stroking Lin Wenxi¡¯s cheek gently, as he thought to himself.


    ¡°Now everything is alright, Wenxi. I wronged you before. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Suddenly, Zhang Dong could not help himself, and leaned over to kiss Lin Wenxi¡¯s forehead, which was quite cold. Zhang Dong climbed into the bed, took off his clothes, and stretched out his thick arms. He put his arms around Lin Wenxi and hugged him tightly for a very long time. Only when Lin Wenxi¡¯s body was no longer cold, and the bed became very warm, did Zhang Dong move away, cautiously and got up to get dressed. Unexpectedly, Lin Wenxi turned over in bed, and threw aside a corner of his quilt. Zhang Dong could not stop himself from sitting on the side of the bed once again, and covered him snugly, with the quilt.


    ¡°Wenxi, how long has it been since we had a good chat with each other? A year?¡± Zhang Dong asked in his heart.


    ¡°At that time, I really wanted to put my life in your hands, and let you end it. But how could you be willing to do that? I am too hypocritical, right? You would rather cut yourself and tell me that I owe you my whole life. Yes, all my life, I owe you.¡± Holding Lin Wenxi¡¯s hands, Zhang Dong suddenly cried out.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be wilful any more. Don¡¯t be naughty. Take good care of yourself.¡± Zhang Dong murmured and kissed the back of Lin Wenxi¡¯s hand.


    ¡°Not good.¡± A sudden dizziness overpowered Zhang Dong. He tried to steady himself and looked around. But finally, unable to support himself, he fell heavily to the floor.


    Lin Wenxi felt as if he was in a dream, in which he met Zhang Dong, whom he had not seen for a long time. It seemed that Zhang Dong said many things to him, in the dream.


    ¡°Boss Mo, you nned this thing and even involved Lin Wenxi. Won¡¯t all your previous efforts be wasted?¡± Luo Yang asked carefully.


    ¡°Luo Yang, why would I destroy Zhao Guangli, in one fell swoop? Tell me your opinion.¡± Mo Qian read an educational newspaper, and asked this question casually.


    ¡°Swift action is one of the best tactics. Hong Xuan was afraid that we would attack Lin Wenxi again, so he arranged for many guards to protect him. For one thing, this matter exposed Lin Wenxi¡¯s actual deployment capability. For another, Hong Xuan would not have the means to arrange for people to protect Zhao Guangli, in such a short time. By making use of their plot to defeat them, you sent people to attack Zhao Guangli directly and killed him by surprise!¡± Luo Yang gave a thumbs up to show his approval and eximed.


    ¡°That Hong Xuan, he can really mobilize all the regr military troops. We should never underestimate him. But we do not even have one formal troop. All of us are depending on the Mo family. Our enemy is out in the open, while we are acting under cover. Each of the two sides has its advantages and disadvantages. Perhaps, we were able to sessfully kill Zhao, because we had a bit of luck on our side¡±. Mo Qian closed his eyes and thought.


    ¡°Do you know why I am so anxious to bring ruin and shame upon Lin Wenxi?¡± Mo Qian asked.


    ¡°Won¡¯t Lin Ziwei discover what you are doing?¡± Luo Yang asked in surprise.


    ¡°Yes. Do you know why Lin Ziwei is able to act so swiftly?¡± Mo Qian asked with a smile.


    Luo Yang frowned, but he could not figure out the reason.


    ¡°They are starting to use tricks!¡± Mo Qian sneered and said, ¡°We failed to do the business rted to the Wang family, well. I doubt that the Wang family will do something bad to us. There were a few idents at City A. Moreover, recently, several of our stores were always running into big and small problems. I suspect that it was Hong Xuan, who sent his men to do all of this. They deliberately stirred up trouble, so as to track us down by following the clues. Such means is indeed very different from Lin Ziwei¡¯s old-fashioned policies. I wonder if Hong Xuan and Lin Wenxi are in this together. Hong Xuan has been honest for so many years. If he is only following Lin Ziwei¡¯s lead, then it is impossible for him to act alone. Hong Xuan and Lin Wenxi ruined our stable situation, when they started investigating the incidents in City A.¡±


    ¡°Then we will have several chances to kill that Lin Wenxi!¡± Luo Yang said.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi is the Lin Family¡¯s only child. If he dies, Lin Ziwei and Hong Xuan will increase all their efforts to seek revenge. Speaking of Lin Ziwei, when his wife Huang Xiya stood in front of the master, the master allowed her to stab him to death. Do you believe it? If Lin Ziwei were mad, he could drag the master out of his workce and execute him on the spot. Do you believe that, too?¡± Mo Qian¡¯s face was as cold as ice. ¡°We may kill Lin Ziwei, but we can never get rid of Lin Wenxi! You must give up this idea, from now on!¡±


    ¡°Yes... Yes... Boss Mo. But what about the master and Lin Ziwei¡¯s wife?¡± Luo Yang whispered.


    ¡°Things between them are history now.¡± Mo Qian said. In fact, what worried Mo Qian more, was Hong Xuan.


    When they escorted Zhang Dong back, he said usibly that he was the one who saved Mo Qian¡¯s life.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi is a person who would rather die than be humiliated. If Zhao Yuan cut off Lin Wenxi¡¯s ears, Lin Wenxi might still be alive. But if someone else cuts off his ears, Lin Wenxi would definitely take his own life on the spot! At that time, Lin Wenxi¡¯s parents had to deal only with Chen Tianjiao. But do you know what Hong Xuan would do, if he knew that you had killed Lin Wenxi?¡± Zhang Dong asked with a smile.


    ¡°What would he do?¡± Unexpectedly, Mo Qian felt a little nervous.


    ¡°A year ago, you asked me to keep track of Hong Xuan. You know that Hong Xuan is Lin Ziwei¡¯s bodyguard, and also Lin Wenxi¡¯s godfather. But you don¡¯t know that Hong Xuan has adopted Lin Wenxi. Hong Xuan has only one daughter, and his family particrly wanted a son. However, due to the one child policy and work reasons, he did not have any more children.¡±


    ¡°Hong Xuan has been with Lin Wenxi, since Lin Wenxi was two years old. The time Hong Xuan spent with Lin Wenxi, was even longer than what he spent with his family. Lin Wenxi¡¯s father was very busy, and did not allow Lin Wenxi¡¯s mother to spoil him. Hong Xuan brought Lin Wenxi up and trained him. If Lin Wenxi had not been so weak, Hong Xuan would have made him into a super soldier! Hong Xuan treats Lin Wenxi even better than he treats his own child. If you harm Lin Wenxi, Hongxuan will not give up, and would spare no efforts to hunt you down! If Hong Xuan were not in the charge of Lin Ziwei, he could be a god of killing! It was this quality that you appreciated most at the beginning, didn¡¯t you?¡± Zhang Dong sneered.


    ¡°Zhang Dong, sometimes, you should think before you talk.¡± Mo Qian said.


    ¡°My parents¡¯ lives are in your hands, which is something I am holding against you. You only have one weakness in your life, which I know very well. I know, all too clearly that you want get rid of me, at any time. But it is a pity that Chen Tianjiao will not be happy, if you do something bad to me.¡± Zhang Dong smirked. ¡°You recruited a fierce tiger into the Mo family, not a sick cat!¡±


    ¡°Zhang Dong, I will not harm Lin Wenxi. But I can find a way to make him kill you. If you don¡¯t believe that, would you like to give it a try?¡± Mo Qianughed.

 Chapter 157 (Everything Is Going to Change) Lin Wenxi Was Humiliated Again

    <h4>Chapter 157 (Everything Is Going to Change) Lin Wenxi Was Humiliated Again</h4>


    Chen Wanxin told Zhao Yuan everything about Mo Qian and the Mo family.


    ¡°I wanted to confess to you long ago, but your parents were still around, at that time. Now, I also have to consider my parents. I am afraid that their safety will be threatened by Mo Qian! My parents may arrange for me to go abroad, and they probably want to lie low for a while, to stay away from trouble. I am worried that Mo Qian will try to cheat you again...¡± Chen Wanxin said tearfully.


    Zhao Yuan¡¯s heart was somewhat touched, but what made him more worried at the moment, was Lin Wenxi¡¯s safety. ¡°Why did Mo Qian approach Lin Wenxi?¡±


    Zhao Yuan felt frightened, then his phone rang. It was Zheng Kai, who told him that Lin Wenxi was missing.


    Only Zhao Yuan knew the ces where Lin Wenxi would normally patronize.


    Zhao Yuan said briefly to Chen Wanxin, ¡°Have a good trip.¡± After that, he ran off in a hurry. Chen Yuxin smiled lightly. ¡°After tonight, will Wenxi still be yours?¡±


    The ce that came to Zhao Yuan¡¯s mind, was naturally the Ziyun Piano Store. Yun Che and Zhu Ziping were very surprised, and they told him that Lin Wenxi had left with Mo Qian.


    ¡°Damn!¡± Zhao Yuan cursed.


    Then, he contacted Lin Wenxi¡¯s parents, andter, the police. After that, they searched the whole city.


    On the same day, Lin Wenxi woke up, in great confusion. His breath stank of alcohol, and he found himself in a strange hotel. He was naked, and his clothes were at the side!


    Lin Wenxi immediately put on his clothes. His phone was left intact, on the table. Just as Lin Wenxi got up to take it, he felt a burning pain in the middle of his hips. Lin Wenxi fell back on the bed. Tortured by the faint pain, Lin Wenxi felt the gastric juices churning in his stomach, and suddenly he vomited. The mixed smells of disgusting, overnight alcohol and his digestive juices, permeated the room, instantly. It made Lin Wenxi vomit even more violently. Only when all his gastric acids came out of his throat, did Lin Wenxi finally stop vomiting.


    Then he checked his phone, and countless messages popped up.


    All the messages were from his parents, Hong Xuan, Zheng Kai, An¡¯an, Xiaoman, Wang Xiang, Yun Che, Ziping, Zhao Yuan and so on.


    Amidst those messages, was a message from some stranger, who sent Lin Wenxi, two photos?


    In the first photo, Zhang Dong was unfastening Lin Wenxi¡¯s clothes.


    In the second photo, Lin Wenxiy naked, together with Zhang Dong.


    ¡°Was my dreamst night, a real one?¡±


    Lin Wenxi¡¯s mind went nk, and he deleted the two photos quickly.


    ¡°What happened? What on earth happened?¡± Frantically, Lin Wenxi called Mo Qian. However, it was an invalid number. Lin Wenxi then tried the number where the photos were sent from, but it was also an invalid number!


    Later, a bted message from unknown number arrived, ¡°Everything is going to change; the storm is approaching. Leaving Jifu University early will be the your best choice.¡±


    ¡°Zhang Dong!¡±


    Lin Wenxi banged his phone violently on the bed. ¡°This time, was there someone who forced you to do all of this? Were youpelled to hurt me?¡±


    With his hands gripping his forehead, Lin Wenxi fell heavily on the bed. He was in a confused state of mind. Though Lin Wenxi felt like crying, he was unwilling to shed any tears.


    After a long while, his phone rang again. It was Zhao Yuan. At this moment, a stream of telephone calls came in. Zhao Yuan¡¯s call was the first one.


    Silently, Lin Wenxi rejected the call. Then he sent a message. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Tell Zheng Kai that I will be back soon.¡±


    ¡°Who else have they sent the two photos to? What do they want to do?¡±


    ¡°Uncle Hong Xuan, bring some of your men here. I want the police and forensic doctors here, as well. It doesn¡¯t matter, nothing serious...¡± After Lin Wenxi sent Hong Xuan the address, he switched off his phone, and rushed into the bathroom, retching.


    There was a sound of water continuously running in the bathroom, apanied by retching sounds from Lin Wenxi.


    For the first time in his life, Lin Wenxi smashed his fists against the wall, until blood was flowing from his hands.


    Hong Xuan came as quickly as he could, at noon.


    Lin Wenxi said indifferently. ¡°All of you,e in, and put on gloves. You need to find fingerprints...¡±


    Under Hong Xuan¡¯s close questioning, Lin Wenxi briefly told him that he went out for a drink together with Mo Qian. He could not remember what had happened next, but he felt that he had been touched.


    At this moment, Lin Wenxi suddenly sobered up. In an instant, Lin Wenxi felt the urge to get someone to check if anyone¡¯s seminal fluid was still in his body, and to get the DNA of that person. However, he suddenly remembered that he had bathed countless times, so any remaining seminal fluid would already have been washed off. And even if he had not taken any shower, Lin Wenxi did not have the courage to do the test.


    ¡°I am getting the surveince video out, now¡± Hong Xuan said, in a deep voice.


    ¡°There are a lot of fingerprints. It seems that many guests have been in this room,¡± said the forensic doctor.


    ¡°Wenxi, whose fingerprints do you want topare these with?¡± Hong Xuan asked.


    ¡°Mu Qian... And Zhang Dong,¡± said Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°I am afraid there is no way to get Mo Qian¡¯s fingerprints. We have Zhang Dong¡¯s fingerprints on file! What happenedst night?¡± Hong Xuan became furious. ¡°The room is full of whisky fumes! You must have drunk a lot! How do you know that we need topare this with Zhang Dong¡¯s fingerprints?¡±


    ¡°There seems to be some gas remaining, in the room. It should be an aphrodisiac.¡± The forensic doctor added.


    ¡°Wenxi!! You are still not telling me the truth!!¡± Hong Xuan caught hold of Lin Wenxi¡¯s cor. ¡°What happened? I will tear him to pieces!¡±


    ¡°Nothing, Uncle Hong Xuan. It¡¯s nothing...¡± Lin Wenxi shook his head and whispered. With tears in his eyes, Lin Wenxi copsed in Hong Xuan¡¯s arms, and burst out crying.


    Some people reported that one part of the surveince videost night, was missing. No images could be seen, as to who went in and out with Lin Wenxi. There was only one segment of the video that showed Zhang Dong, a wanted suspect on the run, pushing the door open. The images after that, were gone.


    Hong Xuan urged Lin Wenxi to go home, but Lin Wenxi refused. He did not take any of the calls from Lin Ziwei or Huang Xiya. Instead, he went to the dorm, in the afternoon.


    ¡°Don¡¯t send anyone after me! I have already suffered. Can anything worse happen to me? If they want to kill me, they should have done it long ago, already!¡± Lin Wenxi yelled loudly at Hong Xuan.


    Hong Xuan swapped some people around, to follow Lin Wenxi, while he brought the rest of the people with him, and went straight to the Feiyi Garments Co., Ltd.


    ¡°If you insist on following me, I will call the police.¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    The few people, who were trailing him, stood still.


    ¡°It is useless to follow me in broad daylight. I got rid of your brothersst night. Should I y hide-and-seek with you today?¡± Lin Wenxi suppressed the humiliation and sadness in his heart, and said this, with a forced smile.


    The few people looked at each other in silence, but they did not move.


    ¡°Uncle Hong Xuan, he is now on his way to find a very dangerous person, Mo Qian. I bet you have heard of that name before. Do you think the few soldiers he brought with him will be enough? They failed to track mest night. Do you think it is enough for Uncle Hong Xuan to bring in that bunch of useless helpers? If you have any real talents, you should go and support Uncle Hong Xuan. It will be a chance for you to use your talents well! If anything happens to him, none of you can get away from the responsibility!¡± Lin Wenxi said seriously. Then he took out a sheet of paper, and wrote an address on it, quickly. ¡°Go now!¡±


    The few nodded to each other. Like a st of wind, they rushed to the taxis waiting for customers, at the side of the road.


    When Lin Wenxi was back at school, he felt as if a generation had passed him by. He came out from the schoolst night, and returned to it today. But it seemed that many things had been gradually stripped from his body.


    No one was in the dorm. ¡°They must all be outside, looking for me¡± Lin Wenxi thought.


    Lin Wenxiy face down on the bed, silently. He didn¡¯t want to sit down. He didn¡¯t want to touch his hip, as that reminded him of the things that had happenedst night.


    The doors and windows started to shake slightly, without any warning. The wind abruptly blew in and made the wind chimes hanging on the clothesline, which had been sent by Shu Xiaoman, tinkle constantly. Then, the whole bed started shaking slowly. Lin Wenxi suddenly stood up.


    Someone shouted from outside, ¡°It¡¯s an earthquake!¡±

 Chapter 175 (All Because of You) Murdered His Brother Because of His Wife

    <h4>Chapter 175 (All Because of You) Murdered His Brother Because of His Wife</h4>


    ¡°Time flies! It has been twenty years! Now everything between us is over. Educating an outstanding son for me, plus your life can make up for my hatred toward you for taking my woman away!


    ¡°When I fell in love with Huang Xiya, she was only seventeen. I had been courting her for seven years! When I was twenty-seven, she finally agreed to marry me.


    ¡°We used to be brothers! We went to school together, went back home together, ate together, and we even wore the same trousers! When we were sixteen, we joined the army together. After that, we tempered ourselves in the army together. Because we forged ahead with determination, both of us were promoted and given loyal subordinates...


    ¡°After retiring from the army, from a delivery man you became a clerk, while from amunications technician I became an official staff member of a state-owned enterprise.


    ¡°Later, we both became members of government offices. Although we had different politics, we were still sincere toward each other and never cheated on each other in dark officialdom. I thought in such a harsh environment, at least I had a brother to clean up the dirty water of officialdom with me.


    ¡°We shared the same ideals, but we did things in different ways. I admit that I wasn¡¯t as smart and capable as you were. That was why you always got promoted faster than I did, but I didn¡¯t admire or envy you at all. I even kind of adored you for yourposure. You could always solve problems by surprise inadvertently. You loved the masses and treated them as your own children. Although you were young, even your elders called you ¡®Brother Wei.¡¯ You were both virtuous and disinterested, and enjoyed a good reputation among the officials!


    ¡°As your brother, I had always been proud of you.


    ¡°But you also admired me because I also had something you liked but couldn¡¯t get.


    ¡°Everyone knew that I had a pretty, gentle, and adorable girlfriend. Since we didn¡¯t work in the same town, I had been trying to transfer her job. I looked forward to when we would work in the same town and my unit would allocate me an apartment. I would be able to afford the betrothal gifts and marry the one-in-a-hundred talented woman rightfully. Her parents were snobs, and in order to marry her, I put in great effort. In those seven years, I missed her so much whenever I couldn¡¯t see her. I, Chen Tianjiao, only loved Xiya in my life. If it wasn¡¯t for my parents and the work, I wouldn¡¯t have married my current wife, Deng Yifei. She loves me, but I have never loved her!


    ¡°On my way to purchase materials for the army, I passed by a bookstore. The first time I saw her there, I was deeply attracted to her.


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t enough to describe her as ¡®stunningly beautiful¡¯, because she was not only beautiful but also a well-known talented woman who could write beautiful poetry and articles as well. I regarded myself as a literary young man, butpared to her, I was nothing at all. You were only a rough man, how could you be worthy of her? I was so lucky to have met her and won her heart.


    ¡°In those seven years, Xiya and I didn¡¯t have much time to be together. I didn¡¯t know that you had written many letters to her during that period. You spent all your sry and subsidies in a year on writing letters! Xiya loved me and she had never written back to you. If someone else hadn¡¯t mentioned it to me, I wouldn¡¯t have believed that the moment you saw Xiya¡¯s photo, you fell in love with her!


    ¡°Even when I found out about it, I wasn¡¯t mad at you. The love of beauty is universal. There were few women as outstanding as Xiya, so it was no wonder that many men wanted to get her. I wanted to give you a chance to fairlypete with me. I neither asked you about it nor mentioned it to Xiya. If Xiya chose you, I might get myself drunk for a few days, but after waking up, I would still wish you happiness, and treat you like my best friend! I, Chen Tianjiao, could be that frank and aboveboard. But what did you do to me, Lin Ziwei?


    ¡°You knew that Deng Yifei of our vige loved me, so you resorted to fraud. You slipped pills into my drink, took away Xiya, who was sleeping by my side, and got Deng Yifei into my bed. After that night, we conceived my daughter, Chen Wanxin... Under my parents¡¯pulsion, I had to marry Deng Yifei. But Xiya believed that I was innocent. After one year¡¯s effort, I divorced Deng Yifei and left her and my daughter. Xiya still agreed to marry me.


    ¡°Twenty years ago, Xiya was about to marry me when you came up with a venomous scheme again! You found several pregnant women and asked them to use me that I was the father of the babies in their bellies! Moreover, you even found several girls and asked them to use me that they were all my former girlfriends.


    ¡°I couldn¡¯t exin those clearly. Later, I was put into jail for half a year because someone used me. Without you, these wouldn¡¯t have happened!


    ¡°When my grievances had been cleared, none of those women were willing to betray you. They only said that they had wanted to marry me, so they came up with such a bad idea! Ridiculous! Lin Ziwei, it was so ridiculous!


    ¡°When I was released from jail, you had married Xiya! And Xiya was already pregnant!


    ¡°Do you know how sad and ashamed I was when I saw your wedding pictures? It was her most beautiful moment with a wreath on her head and her beautiful long hair flying in the breeze. However, she wasn¡¯t by my side at the moment. Was the smile on her face genuine? I could feel the reluctance and helplessness in it!


    ¡°Everyone thought us a perfect couple. I would have wanted to go through thick and thin with her! The two of us made a promise at the source of the Wenxi River of another county that we would never part. You thought yourself a man of magnanimity, but you should know that the dirtiest thing you have done in your life was to take your brother¡¯s wife away!¡±


    Chen Tianjiao¡¯s heart throbbed. Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes and eyebrows looked a little like Huang Xiya¡¯s. ¡°Maybe only I and Xiya could give birth to such a good-looking and charming child. I had seen Wenxi a long time ago, but I didn¡¯t think that he was my son. I thought Xiya had given him the name of ¡®Wenxi¡¯ only in memory of our past. I had never thought that he was our son!


    ¡°After getting married, you had a beautiful wife and a good-looking son. You had a sessful official career and you became a division leader. In order to catch up with you, I chose a different path. I made mistakes all the time. I know that even if I did good deeds for the rest of my life, I couldn¡¯t make up for what I did! But why did I end up like this? It¡¯s all because of you! You kept me down all the time and wanted to get rid of me. You never expected that you would offend so many senior officials while investigating the old case. So you should be med for your own death! No matter how capable, a deputy secretary is only a fish. How can it win a fight against a steel?


    ¡°Whether you¡¯ll hate me or feel regret in theherworld, you should bless your son to lead a happy life. I won¡¯t let him know the other side of our family, and I won¡¯t let him have anything to do with Moshi. Since my daughter has gotten involved in those businesses, I have to let her continue on this path. As for the son of Xiya and me, I will make sure he will be safe and healthy. And he will have his own career. Let¡¯s wait and see. I¡¯m responsible for the rest of Wenxi¡¯s life.¡±


    The news of the return of Chen Tianjiao¡¯s son spread throughout the whole n. Lin Wenxi was only neen years old, and he was a student at the university, so all the n powers tried to approach him. Chen Wanxin¡¯s mother, Deng Yifei, ttered her stepson by all means. However, what troubled her was that her daughter, Chen Wanxin, did not like her younger brother.


    The news that Lin Wenxi was her brother came to Chen Wanxin like a bolt from the blue!

 Chapter 176 (A Cold Light Flashing) A Slight Error in Thought Almost Leads to Disaster

    <h4>Chapter 176 (A Cold Light shing) A Slight Error in Thought Almost Leads to Disaster</h4>


    Chen Wanxin felt it was ridiculous. The person she had wracked her brains to deal with was actually her younger brother! Moreover, this brother had not only taken her boyfriend away but would also take her ce in the family. Having thought of these, she gritted her teeth and hated him to the core. How could she even squeeze the trace of a smile for Lin Wenxi.


    Had Mo Qian and Luo Yang not gotten a strict order not to harm Lin Wenxi so that they did not dare follow her instruction, Chen Wanxin would have killed Lin Wenxi when he was still in the hospital. Chen Wanxin had always believed that she was not cold-blooded enough to end a person¡¯s life, but recently, she found herself so sober-minded that she could even n something that she had never dared to think before.


    ¡°It is said that you had a terrible argument with him. Who were you fighting about? I think it must have been Zhao Yuan. Aside from those stupid and sweet girls from Jifu University, who will support you? Zhao Yuan seemed to have attended Lin Ziwei¡¯s funeral on your behalf. Since you two have eloped, how could he do that?¡±


    Chen Wanxin had asked Lin Wenxi to meet her at the cafe. As she talked about this, sheughed. Lin Wenxi walked quietly, and then entered the cafe from the side door.


    ¡°Lin Ziwei is not my father. I was brought up by my mother and Uncle Hong Xuan.¡± Lin Wenxi answered in a low voice.


    ¡°Are you saying that you¡¯ll be loyal to me? Are you sad? How did it feel when you were almost beaten to death and abandoned by your mother? Did you join our family because you had no other choice? Or is there something up? Listen! The Chens are different from the Lins, and nobody will take you as a member of our family! If you want to stay here, you¡¯d better be humble and never try to make trouble! If you find a job after graduation, we¡¯ll be fine! If you dare to get your hands on our family¡¯s businesses or contact Zhao Yuan again, I won¡¯t let you go!¡± Chen Wanxin threatened viciously.


    ¡°Wanxin, we aren¡¯t at war yet, but you have already lost. You¡¯ve spent a lot of effort on A Yuan, but the number of times I made love with him is more than the number of times you held his hand. In this respect, you havepletely lost. Now, what are you worrying about? Are you afraid that I will take your ce in the family, or you are afraid that I¡¯ll inherit our father¡¯s fortune?¡± Lin Wenxi sneered, grabbing his trouser pocket.


    ¡°Your surname is Lin! You don¡¯t deserve to call my father dad! You¡¯re just a bastard of yourscivious mother and my father!¡±


    Lin Wenxi clenched his fist firmly. He stared at Chen Wanxin and said, ¡°Wanxin, don¡¯t go too far!¡±


    ¡°Lin Wenxi, I saw the photos of your father taken after his death. His mouth, eyes, and ears were full of mud. He swallowed a lot of mud before his death. It is said that drowning is the most painful way to die. I wonder what it felt like for a person in darkness to only inhale mud when he tried to breathe, and could only swallow mud when he opened his mouth. Do you think he thought of you when he was dying?¡± Chen Wanxinughed loudly, covering her mouth with her hand. Looking at Lin Wenxi¡¯s face that was pale after a serious illness, she became even more triumphant.


    Lin Wenxi pinched the dagger in his trouser pocket.


    He had brought the dagger for self-defense aftering to the Chens, but he had not thought it would be used at this moment. If he killed the woman, he would be sentenced to death. Then, the Chens would be extinct. Making their family extinct could also be a means of revenge!


    Thinking of this, Lin Wenxi stopped hesitating. With a cold light shing, he raised his dagger and thrust it straight toward Chen Wanxin¡¯s neck.


    It was toote when Chen Wanxin saw the dagger and wanted to dodge. However, someone grabbed the dagger firmly, causing the person¡¯s palm to get cut and begin to bleed.


    It was Zheng Kai.


    Chen Wanxin¡¯s face turned pale with fear, but she also felt a little sad.


    After returning home from university, Chen Wanxin was arranged to stay at a ce in the countryside where she used to live. She did not do anything but wait for the notice that she should go abroad. When she saw the news about Lin Wenxi in the newspaper, she was overwhelmed with excitement. Several days ago, she had already seen some rifications. Chen Wanxin could easily tell that some people at Jifu University had done many things to prepare the videos, pictures, and the texts of the news. Furthermore, Zhao Yuan would rather say that Shu Xiaoman was his girlfriend and did not even mention her name. What made her even angrier was seeing videos of Dongchuan¡¯s interview. Zheng Kai was the one who had traveled thousands of miles for thepletion of the interview videos.


    Zheng Kai did not seem to know that Wang Xiang had a crush on him, and he even ignored the fact that Gu Xi had loved him for eight years. He even disagreed with what his father had done after his death. Why he was warm-hearted enough to help Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi?


    Chen Wanxin could not understand it. Everyone seemed to be helping Lin Wenxi. Even that bitch, Zhang An¡¯an, who had never taken sides, did not care if the scandal about her conceiving Wang Xiang¡¯s child woulde to light while defending Lin Wenxi in the media.


    However, whenever she was at home, she always saw a man looking up at her window from the other side of the street. She knew it was Zheng Kai.


    She did not know why Zheng Kai came to Yangzi County and asked about her whereabouts. He walked around under her apartment every day, but Chen Wanxin had never walked downstairs to meet him. She hated this man extremely. She did not understand why he knew what she disliked but still did not do anything for her. Not only did he not regard Lin Wenxi as an enemy, he even took good care of him.


    But it was also this man who had grabbed the dagger with bare hands and saved her life. As of now, he had helped her three times.


    ¡°I know you can send this bastard flying with a kick. Why were you so silly as to get yourself injured?¡± It pained Chen Wanxin to see Zheng Kai get hurt, but she felt anger more.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to hurt him.¡± Zheng Kai looked at Lin Wenxi, emotionlessly. ¡°Wenxi, I don¡¯t want you to hurt Wanxin either.¡±


    ¡°Zheng Kai, let go of my dagger!¡± Lin Wenxi shouted angrily.


    ¡°Wenxi, both your dad and my dad have passed away. I didn¡¯t like my dad before, but I know that I will never see him again in my life, even when I am old or dead. I know how you feel! You told me to take care of myself first before helping others. I also hope that you can think of yourself before doing anything,¡± Zheng Kai said, looking at Lin Wenxi with concern.


    Ever since he had returned to the Chens, nobody had been this frank with Lin Wenxi. He could not help but burst into tears. He stopped thrusting the dagger and his hand loosened feebly. Taking Zheng Kai¡¯s bleeding hand in his, he was both angry and regretful. He began to tremble with inner pain.


    ¡°Zheng Kai! You... How could you say that to him?¡± Chen Wanxin was so angry that she almost cried. ¡°If you help me kill him, I¡¯ll... I¡¯ll marry you!¡±


    ¡°Wanxin, what are you talking about? I will marry you only if you are truly willing to marry me. Otherwise, I¡¯d like you to marry another man happily.¡± Zheng Kai smiled slightly.


    ¡°Zheng Kai, I¡¯ll never love a dumbhead like you! If you help Lin Wenxi, you¡¯ll be my enemy!¡± With that, Chen Wanxin left both angry and shaken.


    ¡°Wenxi, don¡¯t be that stupid anymore. If you send the Chens to jail one day, I¡¯ll wait for Wanxin¡¯s release without ming you.¡± Zheng Kai held Lin Wenxi¡¯s hand tightly.


    ¡°Brother Kai, why did you fall in love with such a woman? You deserve the best woman in the world. Why?¡± Lin Wenxi could not help but hold Zheng Kai, crying. All the grief, pain, and fear he had suffered in the past few days burst out that moment. Now, the man who was by his side was Zheng Kai, whom he regarded as his elder brother, and not his beloved.


    ¡°How is Zhao Yuan now?¡± Whenever he thought about how awkward Zhao Yuan must have been after he took away his clothes, money and cell phone, Lin Wenxi could not help butugh bitterly. He knew that Zhao Yuan had attended the funeral of his father on his behalf. Now, every word he had said to his father gave him bitter pain and remorse.

 Chapter 177 (My Name Is Chen Yuanxi!) Lin Wenxi Changes His Name After Returning to the Chens

    <h4>Chapter 177 (My Name Is Chen Yuanxi!) Lin Wenxi Changes His Name After Returning to the Chens</h4>


    When Zhao Yuan learned what had happened to Lin Wenxi, he was still in Tianfu County to deal with the aftermath. He went to Yangzi County in a hurry, but because Chen Wanxin¡¯s apartment was heavily guarded, he did not find a chance to get in.


    Zhao Yuan and Zheng Kai stayed outside the apartment for two days before they finally saw two luxurious cars approaching. When from afar Zhao Yuan saw Lin Wenxi, whom he had not seen for such a long time, he rushed out recklessly. Zheng Kai failed to stop him, so he had to follow.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, did youe to visit me, or someone else?¡± Chen Wanxin opened the sunroof and asked loudly.


    Lin Wenxi kept silent in the back seat.


    ¡°Wenxi, how are you doing?¡± Zhao Yuan stood in front of the car and asked anxiously.


    The window rolled down, revealing Chen Tianjiao¡¯s cold face to Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°He is the murderer who killed Wenxi¡¯s dad!¡± Zhao Yuan thought. He had seen Chen Tianjiao¡¯s photos in the newspapers but never met him in person. Recalling what Hong Xuan had said, he clenched his fists tightly.


    Lin Wenxi seemed to have seen through Zhao Yuan. He raised his head slightly and said, ¡°Zhao Yuan, this is my dad, Chen Tianjiao.¡± He was cold, lifeless, and emotionless as he spoke. ¡°Is he really Lin Wenxi, the person I miss so much?¡±


    ¡°Wenxi, how are you doing?¡± Zhao Yuan asked with a hoarse voice.


    Lin Wenxi nodded with a faint smile and answered. ¡°You know how I had been at the Lins. Although I¡¯m a stranger here, I¡¯m getting by.¡±


    Chen Tianjiao smiled and turned his head and asked, ¡°Only getting by?¡±


    ¡°Dad, of course you¡¯ve been good to me,¡± Lin Wenxi said with a faint smile. Looking at Zhao Yuan, he said, ¡°Yuan, go back to the university. I¡¯m good. That¡¯s enough.¡±


    ¡°Out of nowhere like lightning! Really? His father?¡±


    When the window was rolled up halfway, Zhao Yuan suddenly reached out to stop it.


    Chen Tianjiao could not help but get angry. ¡°Young man, do you want to make trouble?¡± He shouted.


    Zhao Yuan held on to the window and refused to let go. Chen Tianjiao ordered the driver to move forward.


    He reached out and grabbed Zhao Yuan¡¯s hand while the driver immediately released the brake.


    He pried Zhao Yuan¡¯s fingers from the window one by one with his cold hand. Zhao Yuan deeply felt that he cared only about himself.


    Seeing them moving away, Zhao Yuan immediately started the motorcycle he had rented. With a roar of the motor, it rushed out like an arrow flying from the bow.


    ¡°Wenxi,e with me!¡± Zhao Yuan weaved through the crowd, and soon, several policemen on motorbikes were following him. Meanwhile, Chen Tianjiao asked his driver to speed up and leave him behind.


    ¡°Don¡¯te to me again. I¡¯m a member of the Chens. Yuan, take care!¡± Zhao Yuan received Lin Wenxi¡¯s message as he left the traffic police brigade. He was speechless as he stared at the short text message.


    The Chens were on their way to the countryside to hold a ceremony. The news of the return of Chen Tianjiao¡¯s son should not have caused such a stir, but this son had been raised for neen years by Lin Ziwei, his enemy. It made everyone in the family a bit worried.


    The ceremony was grand, and because the Chens were powerful enough to manipte the media, no news of the ceremony came out, and this big event only circted from ear to ear.


    As soon as Chen Tianjiao announced that Chen Yuanxi was his long-lost son, some elders of the family objected. Their reason was simple: since Lin Wenxi¡¯s surname was Lin and he had been raised by Chen Tianjiao¡¯s political opponent, Chen Tianjiao should not let him return to the Chens openly. Some others who were not so extreme thought that since Chen Tianjiao and Lin Wenxi were rted by blood, Lin Wenxin should be taken as a member of the Chens. However, Chen Tianjiao should never give the Chens¡¯ business to his son.


    Because most elders of the family were against it, even though Chen Tianjiao had made sufficient preparation, he still felt embarrassed and angry.


    Chen Tianjiao turned his head and looked at his wife, Deng Yifei. Deng Yifei then stood up and emotionally said, with tears flowing and nose running, that although her daughter was as capable as a man, she was still a girl. She only hoped that her daughter would lead a simple life, and she was relieved that her husband¡¯s son would take over the family business. She was happy for her daughter as well.


    Everyone could sense her deep love for her daughter based on her words. They were so moved. It also inspired the maternal love of a small group of female members of the family, and they could not agree more with her. To ease the worry of some people that Lin Wenxi and Chen Wanxin might not get on well with each other, Deng Yifei exined that the two of them had studied in the same university for two years, and they were as close as brothers and sisters. Fate had brought their rtionship further, and they became real siblings, so both Lin Wenxi and her daughter were lucky.


    Chen Wanxin then said that she loved her brother very much and that she would like him to be a member of her family. However, the stubborn family members continued to oppose them, and the family was almost on the verge of war! Mo Qian remained calm. He immediately ordered several dozen people to surround the ce. The situation was serious enough to rm even the military of the town.


    Amidst the chaos, Lin Wenxi coldly watched what was going on.


    He was in the middle of a dilemma.


    But it was as if he could see through everyone as his gaze swept over the people in the hall.


    He stood up and shouted. Both sides became quiet. He then raised his head and spoke in an extremely cold voice, piercing every corner of the hall.


    ¡°I have changed my name. My current name is Chen Yuanxi. ¡®Xi¡¯ means ¡®first rays of the morning sun.¡¯ Since my dad is God¡¯s favored one, I should be as excellent as him. After neen years, I have returned to my hometown and have be a member of the Chens, which is connected to me by blood. If anyone calls me ¡®Lin Wenxi¡¯ again, this will be a sign of disrespect and an insult to my father, Chen Tianjiao!¡± He paused for a while, looking at the family members with satisfaction as they ruminated over the meaning of his words.


    ¡°You¡¯re all my uncles and aunts, or my siblings. I, Chen Yuanxi, will treat you as my rtives, and I¡¯ll try my best to lead everyone in taking our family to greater heights once I take over the business from my father. I haven¡¯t made any contribution to our family yet, and all you know about me is that I¡¯m Chen Tianjiao¡¯s son. Let¡¯s wait and see. I¡¯ll show you what great achievements I can make in a few years! I won¡¯t forget those who support me, and I¡¯ll give them great rewards. However, if anyone still refuses to ept a child of the Chens as a member of their family, I won¡¯t show mercy to him when I take the power of the Chens!¡± Chen Yuanxi spoke in a firm voice, and his words were like an invisible knife on everyone¡¯s neck. All the elders became acutely aware of the kid in front of them as not only Chen Tianjiao¡¯s son by blood but also as a tough person. Nobody dared to protest again, and everyone fell silent.


    Deng Yifei looked at some of the elders of the family.


    Not long after, an elder stood up in the crowd and shouted. ¡°How will you prove that you¡¯re loyal to our family?¡±


    ¡°We have just started our business abroad, and we don¡¯t have enough people to handle the business yet. I¡¯m going to study abroad and I¡¯ll help our family handle the business there. During this period, I will stay out of domestic business. If I can¡¯t make our overseas business prosperous, I¡¯ll never put my hands on our family¡¯s domestic business. If I break my word, I will die in my boots! You have my word. If anyone still thinks that I¡¯m not qualified, just say it!¡± Chen Yuanxi said loudly.


    Chen Tianjiao could not help but take a deep breath. The kid had juste back less than half a month ago, and Chen Tianjiao had only briefly introduced the family business to him for the sake of his status. He was surprised that Lin Wenxi had already gotten so familiar with the family business, and he had even made up his mind to change his name!


    How could a neen-year-old child be so brave and determined? Lin Wenxi had never mentioned that he would change his name. Had he discussed it with him in advance, things would not have gone this far. However, this was the only way he could find out who among the Chen family members were on his wife, Deng Yifei¡¯s, side. Chen Tianjiao smiled faintly. But if this kid had also thought of things this way, it was a little terrible.


    However, Chen Tianjiao did not want to suspect him anymore. Having just been reunited after neen years, it seemed that they were fated to be father and son.


    After finishing his words, Chen Yuanxi left with easy, putting his hands into his trouser pocket.

 Chapter 161 (Aftershocks Happened) At Sunset, Zhao Yuan Finally Found Wenxi

    <h4>Chapter 161 (Aftershocks Happened) At Sunset, Zhao Yuan Finally Found Wenxi</h4>


    The days passed by and the golden time for rescue within 72 hours after the earthquake had passed. The traffic in the counties of Xichuan had gradually returned to normal. In the past few days, many volunteers were assigned to carry the wounded on arge scale. But unlike before, now they would go to every ruin and every ce that might have survivors calling continuously. Sometimes, Zhao Yuan was asked to throw food and drinking water which was scarce in the disaster area to some holes that looked quiet and empty.


    ¡°Excuse me, is there someone called Zhao Yuan here?¡± Along the way, a girl in overalls asked with an anxious look. At this time, the girls at the medical station just had finished their breakfast in a hurry. The girl was quite worn out by a long journey, and her face was covered with dust. But she still looked quite noble and extraordinary refined. The other girl with her had a graceful figure, who looked very charming and amiable. But it seemed that the girl couldn¡¯t stand the hard journey. Among them, there was a valiant boy who was tall and strong. The other handsome boy was very elegant, but he appeared quite worried and frightened.


    ¡°Chen Wanxin, why are you looking for him?¡± The cold voice of the medical team leader rose behind Chen Wanxin.


    In a surprise, Chen Wanxin felt happy that someone answered her, and she turned around. But then, she saw a face almost covered with hatred. The beautiful face seemed to be painted with some ck color by those dark clouds overhead, and some sadness had immersed into the face. The team leader was Lu Sisi!


    ¡°Brother Kai, is everything fine with you?¡± Lu Sisi pursed her lips and asked in a spurious smile.


    ¡°Now it was not the time to talk about the nonsense. Zhao Yuan, where did he go?¡± Zheng Kai asked.


    ¡°You are still so rude, annoying, and detestable!¡± Lu Sisi curled her lips and said.


    ¡°Who knows where such a living dead has been sent off? Or did he run by himself?¡± Lu Sisi looked at Chen Wanxin with an ice-cold face.


    ¡°Lu Sisi, may I ask where is he?¡± Chen Wanxin asked very politely.


    ¡°Why should I tell you?¡±


    ¡°Sisi, Zhao Yuan is my brother.¡± Zheng Kai started to talk. He looked at the medical team leader, somewhat apologetically.


    ¡°The girls you have dumped for this woman are enough to form a female baseball team! I cannot wait to beat you to death with a stick. But it is a pity that you are too tough. Then, I have to hit Chen Wanxin!¡± With this, Xiaoyuan rushed to strike Chen Wanxin.


    Zheng Kai was going to stop her, but Chen Wanxin blocked his hands.


    ¡°You can p me ten times only if you tell me where Brother Yuan is.¡± Chen Wanxin was almost pleading. Seeing Chen Wanxin¡¯s imploring look, the muscles on Zheng Kai¡¯s face turned tight because he had never seen such an overbearing and bossy little princess would be so subservient.


    Lu Sisi gave Zheng Kai a sweet smile. ¡°If I hit you, Brother Kai Ge will beat me to avenge you. Well, Brother Kai, if I hit her, will you beat me for real? In fact, I am willing to be beaten by you.¡±


    ¡°You tell me the truth. Then, let¡¯s go back to do something intimate.¡± Zheng Kai said with a smile. With his eyes fixing on Lu Sisi¡¯s chest, he slightly got closer to her. Lu Sisi couldn¡¯t help but flushing. All in a fluster, she took a step back.


    ¡°This is the business between her and me!¡± Chen Wanxin was unable to restrain herself and pinched Zheng Kai. ¡°If you dare to touch this woman once again, I will curse you that you can never get a wife and you will only have Wang Xiang, your little follower, to stay with you all your life!¡±


    Wang Xiang¡¯s expression changed dramatically, but Zheng Kai felt quite happy in his heart, secretly.


    ¡°Remember that you should pay me back everything you owe me sooner orter.¡± Lu Sisi forced a sweet smile. ¡°He went to Dongchuan. I suppose that he must have gone to find the war reporter, Lin Wenxi.¡±


    Chen Wanxin¡¯s nose suddenly twitched. ¡°He... Is he alright?¡±


    ¡°Do you think people who havee here will have a good time?¡± Lu Sisi pointed to those patients with minor injuries whoy together behind them. Some of them were waiting for their families here. Some people were here to wait for the government to resettle them. Among them, those busy people who shuttled back and forth were volunteers from schools. Each of them looked tired, but they forced themselves to keep up their spirits.


    ¡°You¡¯ve been working very hard, sisters.¡± Chen Wanxin nodded to show her respect. Then, she was ready to go along the path with Zheng Kai. But at this time, a group of martial-looking men surrounded them. The one who led was exactly Luo Yang.


    ¡°Miss, I¡¯m here to bring you back.¡± Luo Yang said while slightly bowing down. When Zheng Kai saw Luo Yang give him a sharp look before he bent down, he immediately felt his fists were ready to fight.


    ¡°Get lost.¡± Chen Wanxin only said one sentence.


    ¡°Themunication here has not been restored. Otherwise, I will ask your mother to talk to you directly. She is very worried about you.¡± Luo Yang insisted.


    ¡°Even if you don¡¯t listen to me!¡± Chen Wanxin said with some hatred. Luo Yang immediately lowered his head and went behind those men he brought. Those people were going to catch Chen Wanxin. At this point, Zheng Kai squared his shoulders and stood before Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°Zheng Kai, don¡¯t overestimate yourself.¡± Luo Yang said coldly.


    ¡°Luo Yang, do one thing for me. Leave a few people here to help.¡± She pointed to the leader Lu Sisi. ¡°Each of you looks so strong and powerful. Please do something serious! Stay here and follow Miss Lu¡¯s words.¡±


    Lu Sisi was short of hands. She saw the few people were robust and strong, and it seemed that their kungfu was at least as good as not Zheng Kai¡¯s. Feeling quite happy, she immediately agreed and nodded.


    ¡°The rest of you can be our guards, and you should listen to Zheng Kai¡¯smand!¡± With this, she smiled gently toward Luo Yang. ¡°The military truck you brought here can be a big help.¡± After that, she took Luo Yang¡¯s phone and casually threw it into the ruins on one side. ¡°Yourmunication is interrupted, and you search for me here for a few days. Finally, you find me and escort me home safely. How about this story?¡±


    Luo Yang took out another phone and said, ¡°I have another one.¡± His act made a group of people tough.


    Chen Wanxin immediately pulled a long face and went straight to the truck. ¡°Zheng Kai, I don¡¯t believe the bunch of garbage. You drive.¡±


    Dongchuan.


    ¡°Wenxi? Hey! He is really a talented person! We didn¡¯t n to take him at first. But his attitude was tough and he jumped on the car with us. We asked him what he could do. He said that he could write. Weughed at him about that! But who knew that he dared to go all the ces that even those local reporters and other kinds of reporters didn¡¯t dare not go. Because of that, he got a lot of first-hand information and photos. Thanks to his reports, many ces got timely reinforcement!¡± The leader of the advance team of Jifu University was an old friend of Zhao Yuan on the basketball court. At this time, he put his arm around Zhao Yuan¡¯s shoulder and said excitedly.


    ¡°Where is him?¡± Zhao Yuan asked.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know. He didn¡¯t follow the support team like us. He followed those firefighters. To my surprise, he was very popr among those firefighters. Lin Wenxi does his jobs much faster than those professional reporters, like taking photos, sketching the scene on the sport, and sending quick news!¡±


    ¡°How can you not know? As a team leader, how is it possible that you don¡¯t know where he lives, what he eats, and how he arranges his jobs?¡±


    ¡°Brother, you have seen Dongchuan here. Unlike Xichuan, all the ces here are in great confusion. People all over the ces need help from others. Immediately after volunteers arrive here, the rescue team will call them for help. Then, those volunteers will follow the rescue team. Even if you want toe back, sometimes you just cannot find the way back! Great changes will take ce in minutes! If I didn¡¯t stay at the base camp and left seven or eight medical students, I wouldn¡¯t know which corner I would stay at this time.¡± The team leader smiled bitterly.


    Phones couldn¡¯t get any signal in here.


    Zhao Yuan dialed several times and picked up the phone to check. Suddenly, he threw it heavily on the ground. The team leader helped him pick the phone up and muttered, ¡°Is this has anything to do with the phone...¡±


    ¡°Hey, if there is no signal, you cannot get it by smashing your phone. Well, I dropped mine a few days ago. So did other students...¡± Some students came over and shrugged. ¡°All of us use local beepers. We have sent a few beepers to every registered team of volunteers. But Lin Wenxi doesn¡¯t have one.¡±


    ¡°If there is no signal, how could he send out his reports?¡± Zhao Yuan asked.


    The leader pointed to the radio on the ground. ¡°The only channel that is avable now is this. Sometimes, people broadcast the news on this channel. Sometimes, peoplemand and dispatch through it.¡±


    ¡°What is the ce in thest brief report of Lin Wenxi?¡±


    ¡°I suppose it is the Red Star Road in the west. I have a map here. We are now on Zhuhai Road, which is tens of kilometers away from the Red Star Road! But bro, take a look around. No matter how hard you try, you cannot walk a distance of tens of kilometers!¡± While they were talking, the tents began to shake gently. The group of volunteers still remained calm and continued to nurse the wounded who were lying on the ground. What was more, those volunteers tried tofort them. They told those injured persons that the roads were expanding and the ambnces woulde soon such that they could be transferred to receive treatments in a better hospital. But as a matter of fact, none of them knew when a touch of green on the reinforcements¡¯ camouge uniforms and the white color of doctors and nurses could appear at this ce. The ce mid horrifying ruins which only had a scene of deste bricks and stones. Fortunately, there was air-dropped food. Otherwise, the supply they brought here when they set out would run out.


    The new volunteers separated in all directions. Zhao Yuan was given a shlight. While checking the map, he groped for the direction and moved to the Red Star Road.


    The scenes along the way looked more miserable and deserted than that of Xichuan. On the road, Zhao Yuan often met people who would ask him for help. He didn¡¯t decline any of them. Not deny it. Luckily, he had a strong sense of direction. After he took many turns to help, he could still go back to his way. He picked up a supply bag on the ground and ate something in a hurry. Then, he continued to go forward with difficulty.


    There was no smell of the human world here.


    Rubble could be seen everywhere. There was a doll covered with dust and a squashed iron can. On the broken window leaned sideways, a terrifying white curtain was torn to strips. Sometimes, they floated high in the wind, and sometimes those stripes would fell down, like the prayer gs chanting in the wind again and again.


    The people on the stretchers were carried from here to there by the running soldiers, rescue team members, and firefighters. The shirts, suits, and dresses of those people should look pretty good originally. And the person with the newly dyed red hair should havebed the hair by the window.


    Without even knowing it, a glowing red sun had already hung in the west, facing the bronze face of Zhao Yuan.


    The sky was getting dark. The wind of May blew on his thin soaked shirt, and Zhao Yuan felt the hidden coldness of the shirt. From noon to nightfall, he finally arrived at the ce near the Red Star Road.


    Standing among the high ruins, Zhao Yuan checked the ces as far as he could see. Seeing the flickering light ofntern shadows in the south, he carefully moved over there in the surging crowd.


    This was a primary school. The rescue operations were carried out in an intense but orderly manner. The police dogs and the detectors had already done the final check. There was no sign of life. If there were no ident, they would move to the next ce when thest child in the innermost ce had been sent out. They would wait for the notice and transferred tonight. Or, they would rest on the spot tonight. Soldiers and volunteers were too tired these days. The team leader of the armed police was smoking thoughtfully before the ruin with an exhausted look.


    However, he noticed that when all the other people were evacuating, someone arched his back and went straight to the ruins.


    ¡°Who is that? Stop!¡± The loudspeaker rang.


    But how could Zhao Yuan stop? When he got close to the crowd, Zhao Yuan found the figure went along with the crowd and entered the building. He had not seen this figure for a few days, but he felt that they had separated for half a lifetime. All of a sudden, Zhao Yuan nearly burst into tears upon seeing the figure.


    ¡°Wenxi!¡± Zhao Yuan dashed straight in. But he found that he could barely stand. The whole building seemed to heave itsst groan. The dust on both sides of the trembling wall fell with a rustling sound. Aftershocks happened!

 Chapter 162 (Zhao Yuan Burst Out Crying) Under the Ruins, Their Lives Were in Danger

    <h4>Chapter 162 (Zhao Yuan Burst Out Crying) Under the Ruins, Their Lives Were in Danger</h4>


    Zhao Yuan saw Lin Wenxi.


    At first, he only saw a shadow bending the waist. He thought that he had seen an illusion because he was excessive fatigue. Zhao Yuan tried his best to stop himself from being cheated by emotions. ¡°Stay awake. I should stay awake.¡± He thought. The shadow he saw got up and held a few y pots in the hands. Zhao Yuan could even clearly see the crystal clear drops of sweat soaking into the tips of the shadow¡¯s brows. Perhaps, the master of the shadow was aware that someone was looking at him. So the master of the shadow tilted his face and looked toward Zhao Yuan. Suddenly, the face became pale, and the happiness on the face faded. The shadow nearly dropped the y pots in the hands. In a flurry, he went to tidy the mess up. While he did this, he still remembered to smile at Zhao Yuan, delightedly, and even happily. Through the window of the wall, Zhao Yuan saw Lin Wenxi standing behind the broken walls. It seemed that Lin Wenxi always stood there. From the very beginning to thest of thest, he always stood there.


    Zhao Yuan had tears in his eyes. He rushed to Lin Wenxi, but he swayed and ran unsteadily. Then, he fell sideways on the ground. Zhao Yuan touched the trembling earth, and he saw the soil on the walls fall in session. Zhao Yuan leaned to one side to dodge, and he desperately eximed, ¡°No!¡±


    The ground trembled and shivered in pain. It seemed to be unable to withstand the enormous pressure at one corner of the world. A deep pain like that fell quickly and heavily onto the heart of Zhao Yuan. He saw the shaking dust on the broken walls. Large chunks of bricks fell like tears and the rain. The dust scattered in all directions, and the back of Lin Wenxi suddenly disappeared behind the smoke and dust.


    Zhao Yuan found himself to be stuffed in the darkness. He couldn¡¯t see or hear anything. After a long time, he heard someone outsidemanding, ¡°Tworades from the rescue team, a war reporter, an injured person, and the man who rushed in. In all total, there are five people trapped inside.¡±


    ¡°Everyone, evacuate to the safe position first!¡±


    The tremors continued. Zhao Yuan found a table and got under it. Facing some wall, he burst out crying.


    ¡°Wenxi!¡± Zhao Yuan felt that his heart was torn apart. He had never suffered such kind of pain. If it were possible, he would rather die than bear the pain.


    Zhao Yuan repeatedly called Lin Wenxi¡¯s name. He felt that he still had a lot of words that he hadn¡¯t yet said to Lin Wenxi. Every day, these words stayed in his heart like mosquitoes in hibernation in the winter. Though he knew those words were there in his heart, Zhao Yuan never had a deep feeling toward them, nor did he try to destroy them. Naturally, he was used to living with them for a long time. But now, all of those mosquitos hade alive as if they had entered into the spring and summer. There were tens of thousands of them that had exposed their fierce faces and began to attack Zhao Yuan inrge numbers with teeth bared and ws outspread. Zhao Yuan hated this kind of feeling. Those beasts stayed very closed with Zhao Yuan. Like the dust in front of him, he just couldn¡¯t get rid of them no matter how hard he tried. Those mosquitos were everywhere and stayed with him all the time. Zhao Yuan seemed to feel that because they had experienced the fierce and cruel hibernation, those mosquitos wanted to take revenge two times more serious on him at this moment. Only after a few seconds, it seemed that he was already in a disastrous state.


    ¡°Wenxi!¡± Zhao Yuanxi burst into tears. In the dark night, his screams were like a night owl¡¯s, which sounded sad and shrill.


    A week ago, Lin Wenxi arrived in Dongchuan with the team. His task was to write reports about the situation in rescue operations¡¯ front line in Dongchuan after the earthquake. Lin Wenxi should not only record the things that happened there but also keep in touch with Jifu University and the school association to provide them thetest news. There were disasters brought by the earthquake and the feeling of suffocation during the rescue operation. Moreover, there was joy when they saved someone and sorrow when people were separated from their loved ones by death. All the feelings above mingled together under the dark sky. At this moment, there were a thousand ideas in Lin Wenxi¡¯s heart that he wanted to write them down. However, he couldn¡¯t describe the world before him because the words would be either too premature or too exaggerated.


    In addition to writing news, Lin Wenxi would roll up his sleeves and went to carry stretchers just like other boys. But he couldn¡¯t do too heavy work. When he carried the stretcher, he could only carry children. However, whenever there was an urgent task, he wouldn¡¯t hesitate to do anything that needed to be done.


    Lin Wenxi once managed to carry a slightly fat middle-aged woman. As a result, he almost fell. From then on, others would no longer ask him to carry people. But Lin Wenxi was restless. When all the people in the medical team were busy, he would go to chat with every injured person. He always listened to their stories. They would tell him the stories of themselves, their families, and their friends. At that time, Lin Wenxi knew their true feelings, as the joys of reunions and the sorrows of separations. Somehow, he thought whether or not Zhao Yuan would concern about him ore here to save him if he happened to travel here when the earthquake urred. Lin Wenxi even hoped that he could be buried in the mud and it would be Zhao Yuan who dug him out in person. At first nce, in addition to the sunshine of life, he could see the smiling face of Zhao Yuan who was worried about him. All of these unforgotten ideas were always kept in Lin Wenxi¡¯s mind. As he was chatting with a wounded person, they started to talk about the volunteers.


    ¡°Are you really volunteers whoe here to help?¡± The man asked.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t want any money for all the things you did? What is your aim in working so hard?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know. Perhaps, by doing so, we can find some meaning of our lives.¡±


    ¡°The meaning of life, does that child have the same idea?¡± The injured person said with a bitter smile. He told Lin Wenxi that he was from Xichuan, and he only got a few injuries when he was in the county. After he got the treatment, he worried about his families. So he followed a team of cars and arrived in Dongchuan after innumerable hardships. But unexpectedly, the first day when he was in Dongchuan, an aftershock happened, and his feet were hit by stones.


    Lin Wenxi remembered the aftershocks that happened the day before yesterday. Though he slept in the anti-shock tent, he was shaken violently by the ground like a baby in the cradle shaken by its stepmother. Lin Wenxi felt that the ground nearly shook his internal organs out of his body. One of the volunteers who came with him was injured by a copsed beam. Fortunately, nothing serious happened to him.


    The injured person felt very happy when she learned that Lin Wenxi was from Jifu University. She said that the man named Zhao Yuan who carried her stretcher was from Jifu University too. She also said that it seemed that Zhao Yuan never slept every single day. She heard those nurses say that they were quite worried about him, so she was very impressed.


    ¡°He is very handsome. A girl said that it was worthy of getting hurt if she could be carried by him. The girl also said that he is a gift sent by God tofort her. See, what kind of nonsense did she say?¡±


    Lin Wenxi was very concerned about Zhao Yuan and he hurriedly asked the situation of Zhao Yuan. The injured person exaggerated two times the words those girls said with their anxious looks, and then told Lin Wenxi all about that while holding up her thumb to praise Zhao Yuan.


    At that time, Lin Wenxi prepared to apply to go to Xichuan.


    But Lin Wenxi saw the broken walls in front of him. Before him, all those people exerted all their efforts to rescue. There were soldiers, volunteers, and rescue team members injured or sacrificed every day. The situation of a disaster needed to be reported. But could their stories be forgotten by others?


    Lin Wenxi chose to stay.


    A few hours ago, Lin Wenxi heard that a senior from his team was talking on a special walkie-talkie. He said that new schoolmates from Dongchuan woulde here to help. It seemed that there was a person named Zhao Yuan who shoulde to the Red Star Road.


    ¡°A fool.¡± Lin Wenxi smiled.


    When they got thest child out, Dongchuan might no longer need him. A few dayster had passed. Although there were still constant aftershocks, arge number of reporters and media workers from the formal newspaper office had rushed to this ce. Lin Wenxi intended to go to the headquarters of the volunteers of Jifu University and apply to go to Xichuan.


    The injured child was crying, and it was not convenient to use the stretcher inside. So Lin Wenxi held the child in his arms and coaxed him.


    When the aftershock urred, Lin Wenxi leaned forward and threw the child to the rescuer in front. Then, Lin Wenxi saw arge piece of soil falling in front of him, and he passed out.


    What Lin Wenxi remembered at that time was Zhao Yuan¡¯s warm embrace which felt as warm as spring when he jumped upstairs and held Lin Wenxi in his arms.

 Chapter 163 On Hearing the Sound of the Piano, Zhao Yuan Knew Lin Wenxi Was Fine

    <h4>Chapter 163 On Hearing the Sound of the Piano, Zhao Yuan Knew Lin Wenxi Was Fine</h4>


    Lin Wenxi swore that if the voice that called him became louder, he would definitely climb up and throw a brick at him!


    At that time, Lin Wenxi stayed in the corner, and he had no signs of injury. Perhaps Lin Wenxi became excessively nervous for the moment, or he was too tired after all these days. After he threw the child out, Lin Wenxi fell down, not knowing whether he fainted or fell asleep on the spot.


    At first, Lin Wenxi slept quitefortably. But suddenly, he heard someone calling his name. ¡°What an unpleasant sound.¡± Lin Wenxi frowned the entire time in his dream.


    It seemed that the voice had threatened him. It said, ¡°If you are dead, I will put you in the refrigerator so that you can never beid to rest!¡±


    ¡°Are you kidding? Put me in the fridge? Then, don¡¯t you have to tear me limb from limb? But, I still want toe back to life after being frozen!¡±


    The voices seemed to scold him. ¡°D*mn. You f*cking idiot. You have a body as fragile as Lin Daiyu, but you act like Hua Tuo, who devoted himself to cure the sickness to save the patient. Why don¡¯t you cure yourself first?¡±


    ¡°Did you say that my body is as fragile as Lin Daiyu¡¯s? If Uncle Hong Xuan heard that, he would p you to death!¡±


    It seemed that the voice was still cursing Lin Wenxi. ¡°I curse that you will have toe back in another life as a canary! I will f*cking keep you in the crotch of my trousers forever!¡±


    ¡°What???


    ¡°Did I hear that right????


    ¡°In the crotch of his trousers?


    ¡°A canary???


    ¡°What a hooligan!¡±


    Lin Wenxi heaved a long sigh and struggled to wake up. Then, he heard the hoarse and exhausted call of Zhao Yuan. It seemed that he was in tears, and every word he said was full of blood.


    Just now, Lin Wenxi woke up with anger, and he felt that his mighty force was about to break loose. But soon after, he found that he was too weak to make a sound.


    Lin Wenxiy on the pile of ruins and quietly listened to Zhao Yuan¡¯s monologue from over there.


    ¡°Now, I... I only have you...¡±


    Though Lin Wenxi made use of all his strength to call out, his voice sounded as small as a mosquito and his cry soon disappeared into the darkness.


    Lin Wenxi was in total darkness. There was no trace of light nor any movements.


    When aftershocks came, people in the rescue team had to assure their safety and evacuate to a safe position first. After the aftershocks, they should first ensure their safety, and then they could go to save others. Lin Wenxi knew this rule. The soil in front buried him like this. Lin Wenxi could only remember that he entered a three-story building that had not yet copsed. At this moment, he was not sure whether he could get out or not. Around here, there was no excavator or any other machine that could lift heavyweight objects. People here could only dig everything using their hands and feet.


    Lin Wenxi thought, ¡°How long can the air support us?


    ¡°I heard that the worst way to die is to be buried alive...¡±


    The voice of Zhao Yuan next door calmed down. ¡°What happened to him? Is he too tired or is he... Is he... He must have used up the air!¡±


    Lin Wenxi started to feel scared. Little by little, sweat oozed from his pores. As the sweat evaporated off his skin, his opened blood capiries could now amplify even the slightest chill. He seemed to be engulfed by the cold feeling and the thick darkness that enveloped him. Lin Wenxi thought, ¡°Couldn¡¯t I meet Zhao Yuan again even if I died?¡±


    Zhao Yuan finally began to sober up a bit. The cries just now had cost him too much physical strength. Increasingly, the instinct for survival sobered him up. He roughly touched the space around him and figured out that he was in a space about five to six square meters. The noise of the movements outside faded away gradually, which indicated that thendslide continued after he was blocked in. No light coulde in. Zhao Yuan didn¡¯t know how far he was to the Earth¡¯s surface. He didn¡¯t know whether or not there was any steel pipe that could reach to the surface. Behind him, there were only a few pieces of broken wood, shabby tables, and a damaged item, which perhaps was a voice box. There were several beams in the near distance. He didn¡¯t feel that he was choking now because fresh air coulde in from the ces that provided support for those beams. Moreover, Zhao Yuan had a supply bag, some water, and food on him. All of this was enough for two meals and could keep him from starving for a few more days.


    ¡°However, what about Lin Wenxi? Does he have anypanions? Does he have any food? Did he get hurt? Why isn¡¯t there any movement at all?¡±


    Zhao Yuan called out again and pressed against the pile of soil. He wanted to hear even a little bit of sound from there, even sounds of groaning!


    Zhao Yuan began to dig a tunnel. He avoided the support points of the beams where there was a heap of bricks and clods of dirt. After breaking a stick, he dug again and again. ¡°No, it is too slow,¡± Zhao Yuan thought, and then he used his hands to dig once again. ¡°God bless me. Let me find Wenxi even at the price of my life.¡±


    Something cut Zhao Yuan¡¯s hand, and his blood mixed in with the dirt. But he ignored it.


    Zhao Yuan slowly move the stones away.


    The soil above fell again and filled the space that Zhao Yuan just excavated. He was like Sisyphus, who pushed a huge rock up toward the summit day after day. But every time he reached the summit, the big rock would roll down to the starting point.


    Zhao Yuan felt pain and helpless.


    But he still continued to dig.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi! Wait for me!¡±


    Zhao Yuan¡¯s tears mixed with blood. Bit by bit, he was still digging the hole that was less than 10 centimeters deep.


    An intensive tinkling sound came from the other side. Although the sounds were faint, it sounded as loud as the ringing of a big bell to Zhao Yuan at this time!


    Zhao Yuan pressed his ears against the wall and listened carefully. He even didn¡¯t notice that dirt had fallen into his mouth.


    The sound was¡ª


    Zhao Yuan remembered that night when he yed the flute and Lin Wenxi held the torch. In silence, Lin Wenxi yed the solo alone countless times and gave a soft smile. Upon hearing the familiar melody of a piano, Zhao Yuan felt as if his whole body were pumped with new blood, which gave him goosebumps.


    ¡°I heard it. Wenxi, I heard it! Are you okay?¡± Zhao Yuan cried andughed at the same time. He punched the wall vehemently. After a while, he even pulled his hair. It seemed that all his instincts were like that of a mad man.


    In response, Lin Wenxi knocked three keys of C.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you talk? Wenxi, are you injured?¡± Zhao Yuan cried out.


    Lin Wenxi used a low note. That was to say, no, he didn¡¯t get hurt.


    ¡°You mean that you are too tired to speak aloud, so I cannot hear you. Am I right?¡±


    ¡°Tok, tok, tok.¡± Lin Wenxi gave a positive answer.


    Lin Wenxi suddenly found the piano keys in the darkness. A nearly perfect piano was ced in the corner. It seemed that when the earthquake happened, people were attending a music lesson here.


    Lin Wenxi had little hesitation. He started to y Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon. The song he yed sounded as smooth as floating clouds and flowing water. The scene he showed was as impressive as the bright moon that hung high in the sky. All the words Lin Wenxi wanted to say were in the song he just yed.


    Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t remember how many songs he had yed. After each song, Zhao Yuan would shout, ¡°Go on.¡±


    But Lin Wenxi¡¯s hands felt sore.


    He began to realize that he was hungry and exhausted.


    Lin Wenxi yed a luby, which nearly made him fall asleep. Then, he heard Zhao Yuan shouting over there. ¡°Not sleepy enough. y it again!¡±


    Lin Wenxi slightly hammered the piano keys and made a noise.


    ¡°My good baby, don¡¯t be angry. Otherwise, you will get wrinkles and be less beautiful.¡± Like a charm, the voice of Zhao Yuan came from the other side.


    ¡°This person must have been possessed by Wang Xiang!¡± Lin Wenxi thought.


    Then, Lin Wenxi yed The Pale Moonshine, a song that Wang Xiang often hummed. It was only when Lin Wenxi yed the phrase ¡°The more I try to hide, the more I am exposed¡± that all of Wang Xiang¡¯s past shed across Lin Wenxi¡¯s mind like a bolt of lightning. All of a sudden, Lin Wenxi realized something.


    ¡°I am not this fu*king Wang Xiang! With me by your side, you are actually thinking of some other man!¡±


    Lin Wenxi yed I am by your side.


    Zhao Yuan roared over there. ¡°I am around, but how can you not see...¡±


    Lin Wenxi fell down heavily.


    ¡°Ah, at the sight of hills and rivers, you miss the one far away in vain. Why shouldn¡¯t you cherish the one who is standing right before you? Who had said all of this to educate Wang Xiang?¡±


    ¡°Say something. If you still remained silent, I... Er... Ah...¡± Zhao Yuan screamed.


    Lin Wenxi climbed up to the piano again and hit against the keys hard.


    ¡°Oh, I¡¯m fine. Isn¡¯t that I learned from someone? Do you know the story The Boy Who Cried Wolf?¡±


    ¡°Or else you y Neen Times Touch...¡±


    ¡°I know you haven¡¯t heard it. I¡¯ll sing it to you, and then you can y.¡±


    ¡°Do you stop talking again? Ugh... Did I get injured or not? It hurts. But where does it hurt...¡±


    In horror, Zhao Yuan heard Lin Wenxi ying the song that was used to release souls from purgatory, Great Compassion Mantra.


    ¡°I am fu*king still alive!!!!¡±


    Not knowing if it was because of the aftershocks or some other reasons, a few pieces of mud fell, and the ground shook three times.

 Chapter 164 I Want to Hold Your Hands, and with You, I Will Grow Old

    <h4>Chapter 164 I Want to Hold Your Hands, and with You, I Will Grow Old</h4>


    The military truck had its advantages. Chen Wanxin, Zheng Kai, and others arrived in Dongchuan.


    Zheng Kai forced Luo Yang and others to help the advance team to deliver some supplies and then ordered them to help transport some of the wounded. While breaking all the barriers, they drove all their way to Red Star Road after they had almost done everything.


    Of course, the work of breaking the barriers was also assigned to Luo Yang.


    Somehow, Zheng Kai found that he felt utterly disgusted with Luo Yang, or maybe he even hated Luo Yang to his bones. Later, Zheng Kai tried to think about his feelings toward Luo Yang. Perhaps it was because Chen Wanxin had done some more or less bad things, and Luo Yang must have egged her on in most of those bad things. Therefore, Chen Wanxin was still a good girl in Zheng Kai¡¯s mind, but Zheng Kai was the big bad wolf.


    Luo Yang and others were quite worn out by this journey. Feeling quite miserable, they spotted Miss Chen chatting happily in the passenger seat with Zheng Kai!


    When the aftershocks urred, their faces suddenly clouded over.


    Immediately after this group of people hurried there, someone asked them for help. Then, they saw more than a dozen soldiers continually digging there.


    ¡°Were there some people buried after the aftershock?¡± Zheng Kai rolled over and jumped out of the car.


    ¡°A war reporter from Jifu University is buried in there with an unknown young man!¡± The team leader wiped the sweat from his face. ¡°Come here to help! All of them are still alive and kicking!¡±


    ¡°I am fu*king still alive.¡± The sentence said by Zhao Yuan greatly shook the ground and everyone.


    Immediately, Zheng Kai called on everyone to dig together. He pointed to Shu Xiaoman with one hand and said, ¡°You, if you want to cry, go to cry somewhere else. Otherwise, you should either get down to help or cry when they die!¡±


    ¡°D*mned Zheng Kai, what f*cking nonsense are you talking?¡± Shu Xiaoman couldn¡¯t help wiping her tears away and suddenly masked her face. Feeling wronged, she began to take the responsibility to transport the soil.


    ¡°You people down there, say something!¡± the team leader shouted to the people down below with great effort using a big loudspeaker.


    But there was no response.


    ¡°Motherfu*ker! He shouted so loud just now!¡± The team leader cursed in rage, and his men worked even harder.


    ¡°Luo Yang, if anything bad has happened to the person below, I will bury all of you along with him!¡± Chen Wanxin lifted a bag of earth with difficulty, and her face took on a grim expression.


    Luo Yang had never seen Miss Chen looked so crazy. He had to nod meekly and didn¡¯t dare to utter a sound even when the digging made his figures bleed.


    The group of people dug from two o¡¯clock in the morning to the beginning of dawn. Then, they heard hoarse screams from below.


    ¡°Yes. Mom is the best in the world! I only f*cking remember this song!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t stop! y Colorful Clouds Chasing The Moon a hundred times!¡±


    After that, everyone heard the sound of the piano underneath. It was Dream Wedding.


    ¡°I don¡¯t allow you to sleep! I have heard this song, too! When I get out, I will f**king marry you!¡±


    Suddenly, everyone was startled.


    ¡°Are there two boys buried underneath?¡± asked the team leader.


    ¡°Can the war reporter bedy general Hua Mu-Lan, who is a woman but dresses like a man?¡± Someone cried out in surprise. ¡°But I have touched him. His chest is t!¡±


    Hardly when he finished speaking, Zheng Kai rapped sharply on the person¡¯s head with his knuckles.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, listen! Keep talking! We areing! Where is Wenxi? Wenxi, please say something!¡± Holding a loudspeaker, Zheng Kai shouted at the people down below.


    ¡°He is alive! Alive!¡± Zhao Yuan cheered happily. ¡°Wenxi, Wenxi, hurry up! y the piano!¡±


    ¡°Zheng Kai! Have them dig in the direction where the piano sound came from! Come on! Wenxi cannot hold on any longer!¡± Zhao Yuan continued roaring eagerly.


    But the piano sound stopped.


    ¡°Wenxi? y the piano, Wenxi!¡± Zhao Yuan shouted.


    ¡°Wenxi, hurry up and y! You can y Neen Times Touch!¡± Zheng Kai shouted.


    ¡°Brother!¡± Zhao Yuan pped in celebration.


    But there was still no piano sound that came out.


    ¡°Wenxi, Wenxi! Then... Then how about ying Catch the Loach?¡± Zhao Yuan¡¯s voice was choked with emotion.


    ¡°Wenxi!¡±


    ¡°The pond is filled up with rainwater. The rain again stopped. Loaches are everywhere in the mud at the edge of the field. Every day I wait for you... I wait for you...¡± Zhao Yuan was already in tears. ¡°I remember all those things that happened between us in the past years. At that time, you were only a 4-year-old little devil. How could you remember so many things?¡±


    ¡°I also remember the sentence I said when I carried you on my back...¡±


    ¡°Wenxi...¡± Zheng Kai couldn¡¯t help being mad. Zheng Kai crazily threw down his pair of hands like an excavator. Shu Xiaoman stopped transporting earth and joined Zheng Kai. Before long, her two hands were bleeding. Zheng Kai immediately pulled Shu Xiaoman away. ¡°You should leave the men¡¯s job to us. Or else, we will have to treat youter!¡±


    ¡°Then, won¡¯t you get hurt?¡± When Wang Xiang was digging the earth, he heard a girl behind him say at the same time. In surprise, he turned to look at Chen Wanxin.


    But Chen Wanxin immediately turned around.


    Zheng Kai paused for a moment, and a bitter smile appeared in the corner of his mouth.


    When the sunshine in the morning was spread everywhere, Zhao Yuan saw the light he hadn¡¯t seen for a long time in the darkness. The re from the sun blinded him.


    ording to the position Zhao Yuan pointed in, the group of people madly excavated and transported earth with tools like hoes. Finally, they were about to make it.


    ¡°Wenxi, listen. If you can move, lean back because we are going to dig to the ce where you are!¡± Zhao Yuan shouted.


    Everyone did not hesitate, and all of them quickly swung their hoes. After a while, there appeared a small hole and the mound copsed. Then, they saw Lin Wenxi squat in the corner. With a pale face, he looked at them.


    Zhao Yuan rushed toward Lin Wenxi, handed him a ss of sugar water, and instantly picked Lin Wenxi up. ¡°The air outside is very fresh. You... Come here to smell it... Why did you stop ying... You nearly made me die from worry...¡±


    ¡°The tears are salty. I don¡¯t want it,¡± Lin Wenxi said slowly.


    Along the mound, Zhao Yuan held Lin Wenxi and carried him out. For the moment, everyone shouted and jumped cheerfully.


    ¡°Idiot, I wanted you to be the first person I saw the moment I saw the light. How could I bear... How could I bear all the time that I waited to dig you out?¡± Lin Wenxi could not help crying.


    Before everyone could react, they were scared out of their wits by the scene in front of them!


    Zhao Yuan held Lin Wenxi tight and kissed him deeply. Holding Lin Wenxi in his arms, Zhao Yuan began to circle on the spot in this deste ruin. He danced in the rays of the morning sun like he was dancing on the ground full of beautiful flowers. It seemed that these flowers hade to life, and they were flying in the blowing wind continuously!


    ¡°Your kiss makes it hard for me to breathe, but I would rather not breathe. Kiss me deeper, Zhao Yuan, deeper.¡±


    ¡°Lin Wenxi! I love you!¡± Zhao Yuan shouted out a high-pitched roar, and it reverberated throughout thend.


    The tears of the person Zhao Yuan kissed and hugged fell like rain.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi! I am Zhao Yuan! I love you!¡± Zhao Yuan couldn¡¯t help shouting like mad. ¡°All my life, I¡¯ve only loved you. From the time we walked on the path in the field to the time we met again at the university, you have upied my whole heart. Whom else can I see?¡±


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you worried that you will cause another earthquake?¡± Lin Wenxi smiled through tears.


    ¡°You always say that I spoil the show. Why don¡¯t you learn my strengths but learn this...¡± Zhao Yuan gently stroked Lin Wenxi¡¯s brows.


    Zhao Yuan clung to Lin Wenxi. He was very anxious to stuff Lin Wenxi into his heart, stomach, and liver. How he wished Lin Wenxi¡¯s blood could run in the veins of his body and drink Lin Wenxi¡¯s saliva in his own mouth. He found himself sinking into Lin Wenxi¡¯s star-like eyes already.


    Both of them forgot the world around them.

 Chapter 165 A General’s Reputation Is Built Upon the Sacrifices of Tens of Thousands of Soldiers

    <h4>Chapter 165 A General¡¯s Reputation Is Built Upon the Sacrifices of Tens of Thousands of Soldiers</h4>


    ¡°Pa, pa.¡± The sounds of shooting arose all around them.


    Luo Yang took the phone and was filming what was happening at this time.


    Zheng Kai rushed forward. He grabbed Luo Yang¡¯s fingers and reproached in a sharp voice. ¡°Put it down!¡±


    But Luo Yang kept a firm hold on his phone. Zheng Kai made up his mind, and then there came a few crisp sounds. It turned out that Zheng Kai had broken Luo Yang¡¯s three fingers and the phone fell to the ground. Zheng Kai picked the phone up and violently threw it to the ground. After that, he smashed the phone under his shoes.


    ¡°You son of a b*tch! We have escaped from death in a great catastrophe. Please say something happy. Don¡¯t spoil the fun!¡± Zheng Kai frowned. But Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan were still exchanging their endless words right from their hearts. Zheng Kai cast a look at them and frowned again. ¡°Hey, Zhao Yuan, don¡¯t you feel ashamed? You are flirting with a good man in public!¡±


    Not far away, Chen Wanxin slightly turned around. Then, her two men hurriedly put their phones into their pockets without being noticed. Chen Wanxin saw Shu Xiaoman go nk off to the side, and her phone had fallen onto the ground.


    Shu Xiaoman didn¡¯t know why she was crying. She thought she was actually happy, so she smiled. But Shu Xiaoman felt that she had never experienced such a sour feeling in her heart.


    ¡°Hey, don¡¯t be so sad.¡± Chen Wanxin came over and rubbed Shu Xiaoman¡¯s shoulders.


    ¡°I... I am so excited,¡± Shu Xiaoman said timidly.


    ¡°You are too lonely,¡± Chen Wanxin said while biting her tongue deliberately and pulling the corner of Wang Xiang¡¯s clothes. ¡°Your mouth is watering.¡± Then, she whispered in his ears, ¡°Don¡¯t you want Zheng Kai to hold you like this?¡±


    ¡°Zheng Kai! Wanxin said that she wants you to hold her like this!¡± Wang Xiang shouted out loud.


    ¡°Pa!¡± Chen Wanxin gave Wang Xiang a p. She stumbled to the car, shedding tears unconsciously.


    Zheng Kai frowned again, and suddenly he held Wang Xiang¡¯s hand. Wang Xiang only felt that the top of his skull was going to be lifted from him.


    ¡°Why are you blushing?¡± Zheng Kai asked rudely.


    Shaking, Wang Xiang couldn¡¯t utter a word. And Zheng Kai turned to look at Shu Xiaoman. Then, the three of them walked up to Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi. Zheng Kai, Wang Xiang, and Shu Xiaoman turned their backs to Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi. With their six hands joined together, they formed a circle around Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Zheng Kai, don¡¯t be too considerate,¡± said Wang Xiang.


    ¡°I am afraid that if it gets out, it will be very shameful for all the people in dorm No. 216.¡±


    ¡°But fire cannot be wrapped up in paper. You don¡¯t know how many people have taken pictures of them!¡±


    ¡°Who else did you see that has taken a picture? I will f**king go to teach him a lesson!¡±


    ¡°Both Xiaoman and I have taken photos of them. Will you teach us a lesson? How you will do it?¡±


    ¡°Take all your clothes off and throw the two of you to the little ck house!¡± Zheng Kai said grumpily.


    ¡°You should take the couple¡¯s clothes off instead.¡± Wang Xiang pursed his lips. At the same time, he was surprised to find that both Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi had entered into a realm in which they forgot themselves along with everything else. To all their surprise, the couple made no response to them even until now! Wang Xiang couldn¡¯t help muttering, ¡°A slim lotus leaf, not yet unfurled, scarcely appears. When on its pointed tip, a dragonfly is alighted.¡±


    Finally, Lin Wenxi noticed the change of Zhao Yuan. Embarrassedly, he lowered his head, pursing his lips.


    ¡°I just like to see your shy look.¡± Zhao Yuan smiled slightly, and his eyes looked quite clear and calm.


    ¡°I like you to make me shy,¡± Lin Wenxi said with a smile.


    ¡°Woof...¡± Wang Xiang shout out loud and startled Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Sister, you dropped your phone!¡± With a smile, a dirty child handed Xiaoman¡¯s phone to her, and Xiaoman smiled back, blushing.


    Luo Yang had a simple operation in the hospital, but the resources of the hospital in the disaster area were far from sufficient. So he left for downtown first. Chen Wanxin said some caring words to him. Though not very sincere, the angry Luo Yang became happy. Otherwise, upon seeing his expression when his eyesnded on the driver Zheng Kai¡¯s back, it would make Shu Xiaoman feel a chill in her heart, and Zhao Yuan would also want to break his remaining seven fingers.


    After a simple examination, they learned that Lin Wenxi was only overstrained. He became weak because the ce he stayed was poorly ventted. The doctor asserted that an ordinary person would begin to feel suppressed in the chest and suffocated, which were symptoms of a severe oxygen deficiency. Zhao Yuan eximed happily that those who survived a catastrophe were bound to have good fortune. Inevitably, he whispered to Lin Wenxi and let Lin Wenxi clean himself.


    The group of people drove downtown. The traffic of the town in the southwest was not affected too much. Now all the traffic there had been resumed, so they chose to travel downtown first. Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi stuck together all day long. ording to the careful observation of Wang Xiang, they had never stayed 3 cm away from each other for even a second. Through an in-depth research, Wang Xiang found that they also went to the bathroom together.


    At night, together, they called Zhou Nannan and Wang Zhengjuan to tell them that everything was okay. When they also learned that Zhou Nannan was in Wang Zhengjuan¡¯s home, they were all seized with anxiety for them.


    Meanwhile, Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi were separated from them and went somewhere else because Zhao Yuan had gotten news from Xu Yi¡¯s family.


    There was a thick diary, which recorded more than 2,000 days and nights that Xu Yi had spent.


    The title page said: ¡°Unable to be a couple when we are living, I hope we can rest in the same grave after death.¡±


    ¡°My only obsession.¡±


    Zheng Kai and Wang Xiang got a twin-bed room. Shu Xiaoman and Chen Wanxin both ordered a single room. Chen Wanxin sent Luo Yang to buy tickets and get everything ready to go back to school.


    That night was a sleepless night for many of them.


    Wang Xiang gazed at the back of Zheng Kai. He remembered Gu Xi¡¯s blood that flowed and the sword that glittered like frost and snow. So far, he could hardly believe that Gu Xi would do things in such a primitive way and slide such a sharp sword across his throat. When Zheng Kai held Gu Xi in his arms and rushed out, he seemed to go insane with anxiety and had tears in the eyes. Wang Xiang had never seen Zheng Kai, who was always a tough man, act like that. Everyone at the station that day did not notice that Wang Xiang went to hide in the front of the train carriage. Covering his face, Wang Xiang squatted down and was all tears.


    In his bed, Wang Xiang tossed and tumbled. ¡°Zheng Kai, I guess he is not totally against homosexuality now.¡±


    He went on tossing and turning. ¡°An¡¯an said that she would hold a benefit concert to raise money for the people in stricken areas. I wonder how she is doing everything now.¡±


    For the first time, Zheng Kai could not fall asleep. Vaguely, he remembered Gu Xi and thest text message he received from him. Gu Xi told him that he had settled in the north and had a good time. After that, Zheng Kai couldn¡¯t get through to him, though Zheng Kai did not know why he called him and what he could say at that time. Again, Zheng Kai remembered the two letters his father left at home when he left.


    Shu Xiaoman leaned against the window frame. With tears hanging on her eyshes, she let the breeze blow her long hair.


    She remembered the time when Zhang An¡¯an and she had peeked at Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi through a crack in the tent more than a year ago. At that time, each and every move of Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi would affect them. Every time when they spotted any intimate action between the two men, it was enough for them to talk about excitedly at their leisure for a while. But gradually, it seemed that everything had changed. Now Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi finally became a couple as they had wanted. ¡°But why am I crying?¡± Shu Xiaoman asked herself in the heart.


    In the bathroom, Chen Wanxin kept washing her body. With a tight grip, she held a diamond basketball model, which she prepared to send to Zhao Yuan at the time when she left him for home.


    Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi were in a hotel.


    ¡°Have you cleaned yourself?¡± outside the bathroom, Zhao Yuan asked anxiously.


    ¡°Not yet!¡±


    ¡°But you have been washing for such a long time! If you wash ayer of your skin off, you will feel more painful!¡±


    ¡°...¡± There was only the sound of running water.


    ¡°You¡¯re not nervous, are you Wenxi?¡± Zhao Yuan asked with a smile.


    ¡°Why are you so impatient? You have been working hard for so many days. Why not take a break?¡±


    ¡°I... I really need to pee.¡± Zhao Yuan begged outside the door.


    Lin Wenxi waited for a little longer and opened the door. Zhao Yuan jumped on him as if the south pole of a ma had met the north pole...

 Chapter 166 Private Photos Being Exposed to the Public, There Is No Place for Them to Hide

    <h4>Chapter 166 Private Photos Being Exposed to the Public, There Is No ce for Them to Hide</h4>


    Shu Xiaoman printed the photo from her phone and gave it to Lin Wenxi the same day.


    Someone had applied ayer mask to the photo. The time in which the photo immortalized was their ardent youth. Like ink that was spilled on fine writing paper, it gradually spread out diluted and permeated subtly. Under the white halo, Lin Wenxi could be vaguely seen to be squinting as if he had shed the heavy burden that weighed on his body. His two hands hung beside him as he allowed Zhao Yuan to freely embrace him. Zhao Yuan wrapped his slender body around Lin Wenxi as they kissed, with blue veins protruding on one of his arms.


    He was like a bud of a bamboo shoot that sprouted after the rain. He was like an expansive forest of bamboo trees, stretching his branches and leaves for him. When the first light of dawn rose in early summer, before the morning star Venus became visible, there was no one else there. Only the light breeze of May quietly immortalized everything into an unobliterable youth.


    ¡°Well, no need to thank me. I only printed two photos for you, and I deleted them all.¡± Shu Xiaoman smiled and left. ¡°An¡¯an is going to hold her benefit concert tonight in the auditorium. Remember toe. Where is Wang Xiang? Let him be there, dead or alive. Please!¡±


    The benefit concert that Shu Xiaoman spoke of was the first mini-concert of Zhang An¡¯an after she won the championship. Recently, Zhang An¡¯an had be increasingly popr, and in addition, the concert would be held in her old school, so the tickets for the benefit concert were sold out long ago. After a while, Zhang An¡¯an came to deliver the tickets herself.


    The boy who had changed the bed with Gu Xi in order to learn basketball from the famous Zheng Kai had gone back to his original ce. For a long time, he had nopanion in the dorm. Even if there were others there sometimes, they existed as quiet and lifeless as the air. It was really difficult for him to endure such a life, so he returned after Gu Xi left the school. Therefore, Zhan An¡¯an only gave four tickets to the people in dorm No. 216. Of course, Zhao Yuan, who was going to take his stuff from Chen Wanxin¡¯s ce, was also included.


    Unexpectedly, Chen Wanxin was not there. It seemed that she returned home right after she came back to school. Because of that, Zhao Yuan felt quite rxed. So he invited Zheng Kai to help him carry all his things back to school. Now he returned to his upper bunk in dorm No. 216 and felt very happy.


    Zhao Yuan even wondered if he should rent a small house outside the school and live together with Lin Wenxi.


    As for Lin Wenxi, he was busy confessing his whereabouts these days from morning till evening to his parents and Hong Xuan. However, he refused to mention what happened that night. Lin Wenxi¡¯s parents wanted to arrange for Hong Xuan to look after him, but Lin Wenxi also determinedly refused this suggestion. Anyway, he didn¡¯t want such a person as fierce and mighty as a giant man-made burning star to always stay beside him.


    The concert of Zhang An¡¯an that night had a huge crowd in the audience. The scene looked so hot and dazzling. A group of them sat in the VIP seats in the front row. They heard Zhang An¡¯an singing one song after another. Sometimes, she sang with deep feelings; sometimes, she danced energetically while singing.


    Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi sat side by side. It seemed as if Zhao Yuan had grown countless hands and feet so as to caress all over Lin Wenxi¡¯s body. Because of that, Lin Wenxi wanted to change his seat with Wang Xiang. But Wang Xiang curled his lips. ¡°I don¡¯t dare to provoke a rutting dog. I¡¯d rather sit with my family Kaikai.¡± Speaking of this, he tilted his head and pretended to lean on Zheng Kai¡¯s shoulder. At the same time, he still listened to every word and every sentence said by Zhang An¡¯an with his ears up.


    Zheng Kai red at Wang Xiang. ¡°I don¡¯t dare to provoke a rutting dog, either.¡± And he changed his seat with Shu Xiaoman, who was on his right.


    ¡°Wang Xiang, listen to her carefully!¡± Shu Xiaoman pointed to Zhang An¡¯an, who was on the stage now.


    ¡°Previously, I thought I could indulge myself after I got you. Then, I became as fat as a penguin. But now, I run a dozen circles every night. Besides, I have been on a diet and control the carbohydrate and oil intake every day. For whom did I do all of his? Last time when the earthquake urred, you were the first one who rushed to my dorm to save me. However, I said something that hurt you deeply. I am sorry for that! I knew long ago what you thought in your heart. Now, I still want to say: I love you very much and always will. If you like, can youe to me now?¡±


    ¡°People say that women are men¡¯s university. I hope that you can stay for teaching.¡±


    All the students under the stage shouted in unison. ¡°Come out! Come out!¡± For a moment, the atmosphere on the spot surged in waves of climaxes.


    At this moment, the audience wanted to see someone like Prince Charming stand out to protect the rising little star in the circle of singers.


    But what disappointed them all was that no one walked onto the stage. Only a man sitting in a VIP seat in front fled in panic and two other people chased after him with a determined effort, which caused not a small concern.


    Wang Xiang ran outside, but Shu Xiaoman failed to hold him back. After Shu Xiaoman, Zheng Kai went on to chase him like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey. Upon seeing all of this, Zhang An¡¯an stood silently on the stage, choking with sobs. She could not utter a word.


    Lin Wenxi was anxious, and he rushed to the stage. At this moment, the cheers and screams of the audience were rising here and subsiding there. Some students who knew Lin Wenxi felt more excited and screamed his name loudly in the audience¡ªLin Wenxi, he could indeed be considered ¡°Prince Charming¡±.


    Lin Wenxi grabbed the microphone and gently supported Zhang An¡¯an, who covered her face and cried. He eximed, ¡°Well, allow me to rify first. I am not... I¡¯ve juste here to tell you that the boy that An¡¯an likes is not in the auditorium now. But An¡¯an doesn¡¯t know. If he were here, he would definitely rush up to the stage. Tell me, am I right?¡±


    Those students around the stage apuded together.


    ¡°Then, let¡¯s give the stage back to An¡¯an, okay?¡± Lin Wenxi shouted again.


    However, Zhang An¡¯an covered her face and ran to the back of the stage. The concert was going to be screwed up. Lin Wenxi stood there and was at a loss what to do next. Then, he heard those waves of screams came to him. The noise from the audience now was much louder than it was just before.


    Lin Wenxi looked around and was quite puzzled. But Zhao Yuan had already rushed to the stage. He gently covered Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes and tried to pull him out from the front door. Lin Wenxi put forth his strength to move Zhao Yuan¡¯s hand away and looked at the big screen.


    On the giant screen, there were so many pictures showing everything that had happened in the hotel that night after Lin Wenxi fall asleep. Those pictures revealed much more than the two photos that Lin Wenxi had received.


    First, Zhang Dong began to unbutton Lin Wenxi¡¯s clothes. Then, Zhang Dong leaned over and kissed the tip of Lin Wenxi¡¯s nose. After that, everyone saw the graceful curve of Lin Wenxi from his naked back to his naked butt. With the whole body of Lin Wenxi lying on Zhang Dong, Zhang Dong tightly put his arms around Lin Wenxi¡¯s back. Everything was shown clearly.


    Lin Wenxi was stunned on the spot, and his head went nk. What quickly brought him to his senses was the picture of him and Zhao Yuan on the giant screen. On the ruins, in the rays of the morning sun and Venus, they held each other tight and kissed.


    But it was exactly the photo Shu Xiaoman took for Lin Wenxi!


    In the field, the voices of cheers, gasps, sighs, and roars all mixed together. All of this became an animated picture, which showed that there are all kinds of people in the world.


    Zhao Yuan wanted to go to the backstage to give the person who yed the video a severe beating. But he also grasped Lin Wenxi. He was afraid that if Lin Wenxi took the matter to heart, he would again escape and avoid seeing him. He had to drag Lin Wenxi all the way out. When Shu Xiaoman and Zheng Kai came back, Zhao Yuan also chased them out.


    After a short while, Zhang An¡¯an ran back to the stage. The giant screen was closed and turned into darkness.


    ¡°Just now, it should be someone who yed a trick on me. The person digitally altered some photos to disturb the course of my concert. Now everything is back to normal. I¡¯m sorry! I will sing the following songs unapanied for all of you. Is that okay?¡± Zhang An¡¯an tried her best to control her excited look and started to sing slowly.


    Just now, Zhang An¡¯an had run to the backstage. Obviously, she didn¡¯t want to continue to sing. But to her surprise, she saw the photos disyed on the small screen. In a hurry, she asked the audio technician to stop ying it. However, the technician just stuttered that theputer seemed to have been infected by a Trojan virus.


    Zhang An¡¯an pulled out the screen connector and the USB sh disk that was used to copy the photos. She grasped it and put it in her pocket. ¡°Perhaps,¡± she thought, ¡°this can provide the clues to find the troublemaker.¡± In fact, Zhang An¡¯an felt that she already knew who the person was so there was no need to investigate at all.

 Chapter 186 (Zhao Yuan, Don’t Go!) The Wedding Ceremony Was Suspended in the Flute Music

    <h4>Chapter 186 (Zhao Yuan, Don¡¯t Go!) The Wedding Ceremony Was Suspended in the Flute Music</h4>


    Chen Wanxin agreed Zhao Yuan¡¯s requests without much hesitation.


    But it made her feel helpless and her parents very angry that Zhao Yuan had sent the wedding invitations to so many people.


    Things were bing moreplicated. In a new information age, a lot of things that were under control could be made public at any time. Besides, the government strengthened oversight over the collection of betrothal gifts for officials and their spending on various items. Chen Tianjiao and his wife had not expected that the news about their daughter¡¯s marriage spread so quickly half a month before the wedding.


    Everybody knew that the secretary of the small city, Chen Tianjiao¡¯s daughter would get married to a young general manager of a newpany.


    Their wedding photos could be seen on G City and the small city¡¯s local webs. One of them was the daughter of a high-rank official, another one was a young, handsome and capable general manager. Such two people¡¯s wedding immediately rose a hot discussion among people.


    Chen Tianjiao had a hard time to cool down the heat of the topic in the small city. However, in G City, Zhao Yuan had almost gotten everything ready for the listing of hispany by taking advantage of this matter.


    It was not good for the Chens, but Zhao Yuan would get a lot of benefits from it. What annoyed Chen Tianjiao more was that his disobedient daughter even told him that she would hold the wedding ceremony with Zhao Yuan before they got the marriage certificate. Chen Tianjiao could not tell it was Zhao Yuan or Chen Wanxin who hade up with such a bad idea.


    Anyway, the marriage between Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin was finally settled, although the overwhelming news about it died down under Chen Tianjiao¡¯s intervention.


    The wedding ceremony would be held at Jifu University¡¯s military training ground, where Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxi had first met.


    Both Chen Wanxin and Zhao Yuan knew that Jifu University was going to close down. Since the death of Lin Ziwei, the founder of Jifu University, the university had less social connections, and its reputation was not what it used to be. This timest year, the university decided to organize a cross-country hike, but was resisted by many sides. More unfortunately, someone died in the hike. Therefore, in the end, the activity was canceled. Without Lin Ziwei¡¯s support, the university¡¯s reputation took a nose dive, and now it had stopped recruiting students. Sincest year, most students and faculty members had been assigned to study or work in other colleges of the small city.


    Chen Wanxin knew that Jifu University was going to be demolished, and it would be taken over by her family in the real estate business. But who would be mainly responsible for this had not been decided yet.


    Because of this, Zhao Yuan decided to hold their wedding at Jifu University. Chen Yuanxi could not agree more. Chen Tianjiao and his wife did not say anything about it. Later, Zhao Yuan provided his n about the arrangement, host, security and other rtive issues about their wedding, and Chen Wanxin raised no objection. Then they gave the n to Chen Wanxin¡¯s parents. After revising the n ording to Chen Wanxin¡¯s parents¡¯ments, Zhao Yuan began to dispatch people and arrange rtive issues. Everything was undergoing smoothly in order. During this period, Chen Yuanxi was handling business issues in the U.S., and he had not opened the link to the small city¡¯s news for a long time.


    Jifu University. Sunny. Nov 11. Appropriate to marry.


    There were only two red boards on the university¡¯s gate, indicating the wedding notice of two outstanding alumnus of the university. Apart from the photographers who were invited to take photos and videos for the wedding, there was no any media reporter.


    The setting was very simple. The most luxurious decoration was a red carpet, which was spread from Jifu University¡¯s gate to the ce where the military training took ce. The wedding stage covered a range from ss ten¡¯s girls¡¯ military training site to the boys¡¯. The wedding host was a Chens¡¯ rtive.


    They set more than a hundred tables. Among the guests, some were the celebrities of the small city, and some were the bosses, entrepreneurs and VCs Zhao Yuan had known in G City. Thankfully, the other side of the yground had been designed as a temporary parking lot which was filled with red, white and ck cars, like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Rolls-Royce and so on.


    The security was extremely strict. All the university¡¯s gates opened as usual, but the whole yground was fenced in. There were several security guards every ten meters, and a camera every twenty meters. Zheng Kai and his colleagues were sitting behind the stage and watching the cameras.


    There was an interesting incident during the wedding. On the screen, Zheng Kai saw his ssmate, Wang Xiang, who had just returned the small city, riding a bike over slowly. His bike hit the back of an Audi parked outside the school gate. A person who got out of the car happened to be Zhang An¡¯an, who was extremely popr in the small city.


    Zheng Kai closed his eyes with a smile. He could tell what would happen next without thinking about it. Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s assistant would get out of the car to check what happened, and then teach Wang Xiang a lesson taking him as Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s fan. Then Zhang An¡¯an would helplessly ask Wang Xiang to go inside with her, and Wang Xiang would definitely slip away. As long as there was a university ssmates party that Zhang An¡¯an and Wang Xiang attended at the same time, the same things would happen. Zhang An¡¯an had never felt uneasy in the face of Wang Xiang, but Wang Xiang would be nervous at the sight of Zhang An¡¯an, and he would run away as soon as possible. On such asions, his legs seemed to have turned from chicken¡¯s to ostrich¡¯s.


    At this point, Zhao Yuan walked over and gave Zheng Kai a ss of wine. ¡°Buddy, I¡¯m sorry!¡±


    ¡°You didn¡¯t take away my daughter. You should say sorry to her father,¡± Zheng Kai said. He shook his hand and continued, ¡°I won¡¯t drink it.¡±


    ¡°Buddy, thank you for protecting Wanxin for so long!¡± Zhao Yuan changed his toast.


    Zheng Kai gulped down the wine and said, ¡°It¡¯s unnecessary to say that much. Take good care of her!¡±


    ...


    The wedding was undergoing. The beautiful, sweet bride was waiting for the host to announce that the bride and groom would exchange rings and kiss each other. Next, the rtives and friends of the two sides would deliver speeches and then she would kneel on the floor to serve tea to her parents and Zhao Yuan¡¯s aunt and uncle. After that, the ceremony would be over.


    Chen Wanxin still remembered the moment she had attended the wedding for the first time. It was on Yun Che and Zhu Ziping¡¯s wedding. Wearing a gauzy dress, she looked as beautiful as the bride. Although the wedding dress on her now was even not the same luxurious and beautiful as the bridesmaid¡¯s veil she had worn, but she felt that it was her most beautiful moment in her life.


    Now her years of longing had finallye true! Thinking of Chen Yuanxi, who was still in the US, Chen Wanxin could not help but smile slightly.


    She did not care if Zhao Yuan really loved her, and she did not think it mattered. She just wanted to have a baby with Zhao Yuan. Then she would hand over all her power and responsibility in thepany to Zhao Yuan, and she would assist her husband and teach their child at home, like an average housewife would do.


    Her lips quivered and her eyes sparkled as she thought that she was about to live the life of her dreams.


    Even Zhao Yuan was a little moved as he looked at her.


    When the solemn wedding march rang out, all the guests, apart from Shu Xiaoman and Zhang An¡¯an, who kept silent all the time, raised their sses, showing their best wishes to this new couple.


    The wedding ring was taken out from the box by a pair of big hands and slowly put on a small hand with the silk glove. The rest would be left to time, and time would tell if they would keep their promises.


    Suddenly, they heard the soothing flute musicing from the distance. The sound came nearer and nearer. The flute yer walked onto the steps while ying the flute.


    The melodious sound of the flute reminded Zhao Yuan of the countryside path in the drizzle, the birch, No. 216 dormitory, the cold police station cell, the lonely volunteer teacher dormitory, the pond full of lotus blossoms, the Dongchuan ruins and the ce where they cried andughed together during military training. Nobody noticed that the wedding music had stopped ying at some point.


    Crazily hugging the groom, the bride raised her head and affectionately kissed the groom on his lips. She wrapped around his neck with her arms, pressing her face against his broad chest.


    But nothing could stop the wedding ring from slipping from the groom¡¯s hand.


    Chen Yuanxi put away his flute and left with a smile. Zhao Yuan strode forward, but Chen Wanxin held him firmly from behind. ¡°Zhao Yuan, don¡¯t go!¡± She pleaded.


    Most guests had no idea what was happening, but there was an uproar among the people who knew Chen Yuanxi.


    Zhao Yuan pushed Wanxin¡¯s hands away. Without any hesitation, he ran after Chen Yuanxi in the direction he had left.

 Chapter 168 (Your Blood Is with Me) Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi Were Forced to Separate

    <h4>Chapter 168 (Your Blood Is with Me) Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi Were Forced to Separate</h4>


    No one knew that this storm woulde so quickly and would be so big.


    When Zhao Yuan woke up in the morning, he opened the website and browsed the local news in the first time.


    The news about them was everywhere.


    ¡°The Deputy Secretary¡¯s son raised funds illegally and cheated a lot of people.¡± Then, there was the picture of Lin Wenxi who held a donation box to raise money. In the picture, Lin Wenxi was smiling. But Zhao Yuan knew that it must be an idental smile of Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°The Deputy Secretary¡¯s son abandoned the new generation¡¯s ¡®Little Pop Princess.''¡± Three photos followed the title.


    In the first photo, Zhang An¡¯an confessed with a silver voice and deep feeling. Aside: Little Pop Princess confessed to the yboy, expecting him to appear on the stage.


    In the second photo, Lin Wenxi picked up the microphone on the stage. Aside: The second powerful generation denied the rtionship with Little Pop Princess.


    The third one, Zhang An¡¯an immediately turned around and ran away. Aside: Little Pop Princess was hurt and left.


    ¡°A second powerful generation openly had sex with several men.¡± Photos were attached. Lin Wenxi with Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi with Zhang Dong, whose key positions were pixted.


    ¡°The man the second powerful generation had sex with is a murderer!¡±


    ¡°The private photos of the second powerful generation and the wanted man.¡±


    ¡°The wanted murderer was good at taking off other people¡¯s clothes. The son of the Deputy Secretary enjoyed making love with him.¡±


    ¡°The second powerful generation cheated on an examination. Could a different person of the admission ticket take and pass the exam?¡± Moreover, someone posted the detailed evidence of Lin Wenxi cheating on the exam!


    ¡°Did they say Lin Wenxi cheated on the exam?¡± Zhao Yuan bristled up in anger. ¡°At the end ofst year, Lin Wenxi gave up the exam to apany him so that he let Shu Xiaoman find someone to take the exam for him. But did they even plot this thing?¡±


    All local websites, big or small, were filled with the news about Lin Wenxi, anytime and anywhere. Zhao Yuan shut his eyes tightly, but Lin Wenxi leaned on his shoulders and watched the news without a blink.


    None of them could get in touch with Chen Wanxin. No one could reach Mo Qian again. They disappeared without a trace.


    Zheng Kai smoked the cigarette one after another while Wang Xiang also sat there with a frown of anxiety. Those people had been umting the news little by little and spread the news in a day. Beyond that, they denounced Lin Wenxi in each article both by photos and writing, which strongly guided the direction of public opinion. And even if Lin Wenxi stood out to argue for himself, it would be useless for him to rify everything. Too many rumors can confuse what is right or wrong. Once Lin Wenxi went out from the dorm door, everyone would use him of anything they thought he had done.


    ¡°Mo Qian is the person who killed my father. Wanxin told me that night... If I had known this earlier, Wenxi would never have gone to another ce with Mo Qian.¡± Zhao Yuan clenched his fists.


    ¡°I don¡¯t me you. You called me countless times that night, I know. It was just I lost control of myself for a while and fell into his trap... The forensic doctor said that there was an aphrodisiac in that room. Zhang Dong... I suppose he also...¡± Lin Wenxi said calmly, but anyone could hear that his voice was trembling violently.


    Finally, Wang Xiang could no longer endure hunger. He groaned, ¡°I can only do things when I am full!¡± With this, he ran out. But all of a sudden, someone came in, and he staggered. The one who came was Shu Xiaoman.


    ¡°Wenxi! It was not me!¡± Like mad, Shu Xiaoman rushed in.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t give them the photo! The person who took the exam for you was rmended by Wanxin. I couldn¡¯t find anyone and lost my head for the moment at that time... Wenxi! I didn¡¯t do all of this deliberately!¡± Upon seeing the news and videos about Lin Wenxi were everywhere, Shu Xiaoman instantly lost her head. Zhang An¡¯an had returned to her brokerpany and was cooperating with others to deal with the things happened at the concertst night. She helped issue the public rtions draft to eliminate the effect of the rumor about Lin Wenxi and her. Zhou Nannan had just returned to the dorm early in the morning and failed to stop Shu Xiaoman.


    ¡°It was not you. We didn¡¯t me you.¡± In a hurry, Lin Wenxi got up and said with a smile.


    ¡°Wenxi, Wenxi, are you okay?¡± Shu Xiaoman asked with fear.


    ¡°It was nothing. Some people nned and did these things deliberately, so I could not avoid all the trouble.¡± Lin Wenxi slowly shook his head and smiled gently. ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡±


    Zhao Yuan was nearly going to cry.


    ¡°Zheng Kai! You still like that vicious woman! That ck widow!¡± In tears, Shu Xiaoman came at Zheng Kai.


    ¡°If you want to hit me, then go ahead to beat me. I will take the responsibility for all the mistakes Wanxin made. If anyone wants to beat me, I will never fight back!¡± Zheng Kai threw away the cigarette butt and sat in silence.


    Shu Xiaoman picked up the globe on Wang Xiang¡¯s table, but then she put it down heavily on the table and ran out, crying. After a while, a scream of Zhou Nannan came from outside. ¡°Xiaoman!¡±


    All of them ran out and spotted Shu Xiaoman copsed down andy under the wall. Arge blood stain was left on the wall. Being unable to bear the shame and anger, Shu Xiaoman actually chose to do things in such a fierce way and knocked her head against the wall!


    All the four people rushed to the door. But they bumped into Hong Xuan who blocked their way. Behind him were seven to eight serious-looking subordinates of him. Each of them looked capable and tough.


    ¡°Go home with me.¡± Hong Xuan said.


    Zhao Yuan went forward and stood in front of Lin Wenxi to protect him. Meanwhile, Zheng Kai instantly bent down and held his breath. He was now in the state of fighting.


    Hong Xuan slightly raised his hand. Then, two bores of two gun respectively fixed on the foreheads of Zhao Yuan and Zheng Kai. Wang Xiang who stood next to Zheng Kai was so scared that he clenched his fists and was sweating. ¡°They... They did nothing...¡±


    ¡°Hong Xuan! You carry private guns to threaten civilians. Can you afford the charge?¡± In a moment of desperation, Lin Wenxi called Hong Xuan by name.


    ¡°Wenxi, take an extraordinary step sometimes. It was you who taught me to do so.¡± Hong Xuan smiled coldly. ¡°How many days haven¡¯t you been home? How much trouble did you make?!¡±


    ¡°This is none of his business!¡± Zhao Yuan said loudly.


    ¡°Beat the boy surnamed Zhao up first! If you dare resist, I will fu*king shoot this ¡ª¡± After he said this, he pointed his gun at Wang Xiang and continued, ¡°good-for-nothing.¡±


    All of a sudden, Wang Xiang felt a chill in his heart. Didn¡¯t know where he got the courage, he shouted, ¡°If you want to kill me, then... just kill me. However... you are not allowed to... touch Zheng Kai. He is the sworn brother of Wenxi. Well, you¡¯d better not... kill me.¡±


    Though Zheng Kai was furious, Wang Xiang nearly made him burst intoughter. He violently pushed Wang Xiang to the bed, and Wang Xiang fell down on his back with legs pointing up. ¡°If you want to be a hero here, make it make it fu*king snappy!¡±


    ¡°Then, do you want to be the hero?¡± Hong Xuan pretended to smile.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think you dare to kill me!¡± Zheng Kai slowly dropped the words one by one. At that time, they had already taken Zhao Yuan out under Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes. Before long, the person who guarded outside bashed and kicked Lin Wenxi for some time. Zhao Yuan didn¡¯t fight back. He tightly covered his head, making no sound.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, I know that you are a hard bone. Are you idiots? If your feet and hands are not hard enough to deal with him, then use electric batons! He will never know who Hong Xuan is if you don¡¯t scare the shit out of him by electric shocks! Zhao Yuan, you brought us such shameful trouble! How dare you! Most probably you are associated with people who had released those photos! Director Lin took great trouble to investigate the case for you and will find out who did the case soon. But all of you brought him such big trouble out of the blue. Do you know how great the risk he has to take now? Beat him! I will take the responsibility if you beat him to death!¡± Hong Xuan roar with furious behind them.


    ¡°Who is behind the case?¡± Zhao Yuan asked with some effort.


    ¡°Those people who are outside, if you dare to hit him again, you can only carry my fu*cking body back!¡± Lin Wenxi took out a sharpened brush and pressed it right against his throat. The hue and cry those people uttered while beating immediately stopped.


    ¡°Uncle Hong Xuan, you didn¡¯t know what happened! You didn¡¯t know that I almost died with Zhao Yuan when the earthquake urred! You don¡¯t even know that I liked Zhao Yuan first. No. In fact, I, Lin Wenxi, love Zhao Yuan! In this life, I only love him!¡± ¡°If you let something bad happen to him, I will go to die with him!¡± Lin Wenxi pressed harder, and the brush immediately drew a blood stain on his neck.


    ¡°Wenxi! Are you crazy? Zhao Yuan is a fu*cking man! ¡ª Kid, you are more than crazy! You even slept with a murderer... The Lin family actually got a son like you. How unfair God is!¡± Hearing Lin Wenxi said so many crazy words, he was already in an uncontroble rage.


    ¡°You won¡¯t understand it. I don¡¯t expect you to understand! I count to three. If you still don¡¯t let him go, the words I am going to say will be myst.¡± Lin Wenxi suddenly shed tears.


    ¡°Go back with me obediently. Everything is negotiable. If you are unwilling to go and we take your body home today, your father will be more rxed. In any case, the public will know from the news that the son of Lin Ziwei kills himself to apologize because he feels guilty and remorseful!¡± Obviously, Hong Xuan was pissed off.


    ¡°Uncle, don¡¯t say these words. The most painful person is Wenxi, is Wenxi!¡± Didn¡¯t know when Shu Xiaoman woke up. She climbed over from the side and grabbed Hong Xuan¡¯s trouser legs. A pool of blood remained on her temple. ¡°If you continue to say like that, Wenxi may leave us for real! I beg you! Don¡¯t say that again!¡± With this, Shu Xiaoman bowed down to the ground and gave him a kowtow. ¡°Many of these things are rumors. That night, someone cheated Wenxi out... Wenxi didn¡¯t dally with An¡¯an... The exam... Chen Wanxin arranged the person... Everything was done by Chen Wanxin... Wenxi is already very sad...¡±


    When all the people there saw Shu Xiaoman say these words, they knew a little about the fact. At this time, their heart suddenly softened, including Lin Wenxi. He sobbed and said, ¡°Nannan, you must help Xiaoman to go to the hospital. Don¡¯t dy anymore!¡±


    ¡°No. Uncle, it is not Wenxi¡¯s fault. We... all did something wrong! Especially me! Kill me first, will you?¡± It seemed that each word Shu Xiaoman said was bleeding, each cry she uttered was with tears. Hong Xuan¡¯s anger cooled a little after hearing what she said. ¡°At least, there may still be room to correct Lin Wenxi.¡± Hong Xuan couldn¡¯t help frowning. ¡°You, first take this little girl to the hospital. Her endlessly weep is really annoying!¡±


    Some people hurriedly dragged and pulled Shu Xiaoman. Finally, she was carried out.


    Lin Wenxi felt relieved. But then, he closed his eyes in desperation. He knew that once he went home this time, he would never be able to return to school even if things were luckily solved. Except that, it was very likely that he would be directly arranged to go abroad. So if he left this time, he didn¡¯t know when he could see Zhao Yuan again. How could he not be overwhelmed by grief?


    ¡°I will leave. I will go home with you...¡± Lin Wenxi said, ¡°Release Zhao Yuan. Let them go... They are all very good to me, Uncle Hong Xuan, just like you...¡±


    With a wave of his hand, Hong Xuan let his men retreat to the corridor and enclosed the ce tight.


    Slowly, Lin Wenxi walked out of the dorm door. Zhao Yuan, who was lying on the ground, stubbornly insisted on standing up. It was unknown where he got the strength. Lin Wenxi threw himself at Zhao Yuan. When he was hugging and kissing Zhao Yuan, Lin Wenxi¡¯s mouth was filled with Zhao Yuan¡¯s blood. Suddenly, Lin Wenxi started to suck Zhao Yuan¡¯s wounds until his mouth was full of blood.


    All of a sudden, this change stung Hong Xuan to a rage. He rushed forward and grabbed Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°Your blood is with me now. Even if I died, I wouldn¡¯t feel lonely.¡± Lin Wenxi smiled and strode away.


    Zhao Yuan rushed forward, but Hong Xuan stopped him resolutely.


    ¡°Who is behind the case...¡± Zhao Yuan asked in a cold voice.


    ¡°Chen Wanxin¡¯s own parents! We areck of the final proof. Zhao Yuan don¡¯t do anything stupid first!¡± Hong Xuan said viciously in a low voice. Then, the majestic-looking Hong Xuan left with a group of his men.


    The sky was a little too gloomy. The storm that should haveest night was still brewing continuously.

 Chapter 169 (A Sudden Sunny Day) Gathered Everyone’s Wisdom and Fought Back

    <h4>Chapter 169 (A Sudden Sunny Day) Gathered Everyone¡¯s Wisdom and Fought Back</h4>


    Lin Wenxi knew what kind of negative effects these things would bring to his father. Even worse, the discipline inspectionmission might conduct a temporary investigation on his father. Probably, his father would be detained and interrogated.


    As soon as he got home, Lin Wenxi chose to kneel before the door and refused to go in.


    He had been kneeling there till midnight. Huang Xiya was all in tears. Finally, even Hong Xuan couldn¡¯t bear the scene anymore and interceded for Lin Wenxi so that Lin Ziwei let him in.


    The whole family sat together and held a meeting to interrogate Lin Wenxi, who should tell the others everything.


    ¡°I told you that Zhao Yuan is not a good person! He led such a good child of us astray!¡± Huang Xiya appeared to be extremely angry.


    ¡°Mom! Stop it, please!¡± Lin Wenxi was unable to make any more arguments. At this moment, all arguments were unnecessary. When he raised money, he smiled and left others the evidence. As for the exam, he also carelessly left a w for his enemy. Moreover, he was easily cheated by Mo Qian and fell into his trap. Lin Wenxi knew that he had done everything wrong. However, hugging Zhao Yuan so passionately was the only thing he didn¡¯t think he did wrong. Lin Wenxi deeply loved that man, heartily.


    Two dayster.


    Lin Ziwei looked at the prepared draft on the table, and exchanged a look with Hong Xuan. Then, he slightly nodded. Meanwhile, Zhao Yuan, Zheng Kai, Shu Xiaoman, Zhang An¡¯an, Wang Xiang, Zhou Nannan, Wang Zhengjuan, and some others all appeared at the door of Lin Wenxi¡¯s home. With solemn looks, they confronted the guards at the door.


    Lin Ziwei let Zhao Yuane in to talk.


    When Zhao Yuanqi entered the door, Lin Ziwei violently pped him in the face and kicked him on his knee heavily. Zhao Yuan knelt on the ground with one knee and straightened up.


    ¡°You still don¡¯t know that you are wrong!¡± Lin Ziwei asked sharply. Suddenly, intense knockings on the door came from Lin Wenxi¡¯s room. And Lin Wenxi kept calling Zhao Yuan¡¯s name.


    ¡°Uncle! Wenxi is innocent!¡± Zhao Yuan¡¯s tears suddenly fell.


    ¡°Humph, if you didn¡¯te to my door yourself, I would have to send people to find you! I know that he is innocent, and everything is your fault! You had a narrow escape from death, so you were too excited. Hence, you expressed the excitement in the wrong way at that time. Am I right?¡± Lin Ziwei said coldly.


    ¡°No, no! I sincerely ¡ª¡±


    Then, Lin Ziwei pped him hard in the face once again. All at once, Zhao Yuan clearly understood his intention.


    Lin Ziwei turned red on the face and grabbed Zhao Yuan¡¯s neck. ¡°Evil son!¡± ¡°Zhao Mingjiang¡¯s evil son!¡± Soon afterward, he threw a pile of the drafts to Zhao Yuan. Whether Zhao Yuan could ept it or not, what Lin Ziwei said just now would be the only fact!


    Zhao Yuan looked at the words on the drafts word by word. It seemed that those words had turned into thousands of ants which were biting him all over. Suddenly, he closed his eyes. ¡°I... ept.¡±


    ¡°I have some documents and videos here for you. I believe these materials can help you.¡± Zhao Yuan said in a deep tone.


    Lin Ziwei checked the materials and then smiled slightly with satisfaction. ¡°Zhao Yuan, if I only consider this thing, you are smart enough! Great minds think alike. You and your ssmates made a contribution atst!¡±


    Lin Ziwei immediately pulled a long face. ¡°In previous, my wife always felt that Wenxi should stay far away from you. I understand now that a woman¡¯s sixth sense sometimes can be more effective than logic and evidence. Listen to me carefully, Zhao Yuan. Wenxi will soon be transferred to another school abroad. You must not have any contact with him! Although I investigated your family¡¯s case, I only do this to deal with Chen Tianjiao. It has nothing to do with you and your father! If you still have connections with Wenxi in the future, I will not use Zhao Mingjiang¡¯s case to bring down Chen Tianjiao because I have many other ways to do it. Do you understand?¡±


    ¡°Uncle Lin, my father told me the things you had done before. So did my aunt, my father¡¯s best friend Uncle Zheng Ziheng, and the fisherman in the countryside! I know that you are not such kind of person, so you don¡¯t have to threaten me with these things! No matter what I will do, you will always get to the bottom of the case. Not because you are trying to help me, but because you do all of this only for justice!¡± Zhao Yuan said with tears.


    Lin Ziwei and Hong Xuan could not help feeling surprised at the same time. ¡°This Zhao Yuan, if he were a decent young man, how many outstanding achievements he would get in the future!¡± In his heart, Hong Xuan even secretly cherished this young talent.


    ¡°Justice wille sooner orter. Thank you! So, I cannot agree with your request! You don¡¯t have to support Wenxi and me, but please don¡¯t forcibly intervene against us. Let it be...¡± Zhao Yuan pleaded. Suddenly, he knelt on the ground with his knees.


    ¡°I have heard about the thing about Zheng Ziheng, which is ridiculous, extremely absurd! I will never allow such things to happen to Wenxi! Members of the Lin family will never do such a shameful thing! You¡¯d better be sensible enough and disappear from Lin Wenxi¡¯s side! Even if you cannot ept my suggestion, I can send him as far as I can, and you will never see him again in your life!¡± Lin Ziwei looked very angry.


    ¡°Uncle, that¡¯s all I want to say. I will never do the thing you asked me to do, unless I am dead.¡± Zhao Yuan smiled slightly and stood up. His solemn eyesnded on Lin Wenxi¡¯s bedroom. Then, he clenched his teeth and left decisively.


    ¡°How is everything going? Zhao Yuan?¡± Shu Xiaoman asked in a hurry.


    ¡°You¡¯ve been working hard for us during these days! On behalf of Wenxi, I want to thank every one of you!¡± Zhao Yuan couldn¡¯t help bowing to all students presented.


    Zhang An¡¯an and Zhao Yuan thought and nned with a painstaking effort that very night. Finally, they came up with the idea that could rescue them unexpectedly from a desperate situation.


    Wang Xiang spent the whole night weighing the words of the prepared drafts. The moves of public rtions and all the media interviews were done by the agency of Zhang An¡¯an. Because she threatened her agency with her future and forced them to help. Moreover, Zhou Nannan and Wang Zhengjuan changed the public opinions of their campus and removed the doubts of those students. Wang Zhengjuan, who was always shy, actually dared to attend various meetings to make a personal example. They told everyone their stories. In this way, more and more people started to understand the things that happened between Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi. To record interviews with video, Wang Zhengjuan provided funds for Zheng Kai to fly to Dongchuan, which was far far away. Zheng Kai found the rescue teams in Dongchuan at that time. He was a man of few words, but he sessfully convinced all the rescue teams toe forward and say something to help. Shu Xiaoman carried the heavy equipment she borrowed from Wang Zhengjuan and rushed back and forth between the major universities to rify the event of fundraising at that time. She was also busy running about the small city. That was why they could get the first-hand interview report from Yangzi County and Tianfu Town.


    All of this was done in only two days!


    Another day came.


    Lin Ziwei must have used very terrifying means.


    All the media kept silent.


    All the reports about Lin Wenxi disappeared, and all the press and media said the following news.


    The Deputy Secretary tried to help people get rid of a scourge, but he faced reprisals. Some people digitally altered the photos of his son and spread the rumors about him. Besides that, there appeared some experts who did technical analyses to those photos on the spot. Those experts also told others how those people altered the photos and how brilliantly they changed the photo. Beyond that, almost on all the major forums, onlinemunities etc., there appeared many technical posts which discussed the effect and the way to alter photos digitally. For a time, the pixted photos made by enthusiasticizens could be seen all over the inte. Among them, many new and innovative photos designed by thoseizens captured the headlines of the front-page, which greatly reduced the attention to Lin Wenxi.


    The descendant of the Lin family raised money for his ssmates. He was ¡°exiled¡± by his sterning father and was sent to teach at a remote and poor area. On the news was an interview video of Zhao Yuan, who exined in detail how Lin Wenxi helped him raise money and how he took care of his self-esteem.


    The teaching of the Lin family¡¯s descendant was unanimously praised! On the news were interviews of many vigers who strongly supported Lin Wenxi. They told the audience how Lin Wenxi had spent the three months, during which time he worked all day and night diligently. And they also shot the amodation condition of Lin Wenxi in detail. Also, there was a video of Zhao Yuan¡¯s aunt Liu Lanhu, in which she showed her thanks to Lin Wenxi with tears.


    The descendant of the Lin familybated the quake and carried out relief work. He wrote many reports from the front-line and nearly died there. On the news were the interviews of the leader of Jifu University¡¯s rescue team and the local rescue team of Dongchuan in the field. And there were also their signatures.


    The Little Pop Princess came forward to refute a rumor that Lin Wenxi abandoned her. In the video, Zhang An¡¯an used the rumourmongers in a tearful voice. She also made a solemn apology to Lin Wenxi. As for to whom Zhang An¡¯an confessed on the spot, some busybodies dug everything about this outter. They also found out the secret that Zhang An¡¯an aborted her six-month fetus. In the end, Wang Xiang took the initiative to stand out and apologized to Zhang An¡¯an. Then, the fans of Zhang An¡¯an condemned him both by word of mouth and in writing. Those fans evenunched a personal attack on him. But Wang Xiang bore all of that. Thing like that happenedter.


    Now Lin Wenxi was kept in a twenty square meters room. The bed, the cab, the electronic keyboard, and various books were all Lin Wenxi had at this time.


    There was no clock, no phone, noputer, or any other electronic equipment. Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t know how long he had stayed in this small room. Only when he needed to go to the bathroom or when he ate meals, he would gently knock on the door three times. Then, Hong Xuan would open the door and let him out. He would watch Lin Wenxi get everything done. At noon every day, Lin Wenxi could spend one hour in the living room reading newspapers or watching the news.


    All the local newspapers were ced in front of Lin Wenxi, so he saw everything before him clearly. If it were not for the full support of his ssmates in the university, he supposed that his father and Hong Xuan could never do all of this in such a short time. Lin Wenxi suddenly knew why Zhao Yuan came that day.


    There was also a big-character newspaper. The title was written in the center of the newspaper, which was extremely striking.


    As a Survivor of a Disaster, the Volunteer Zhao Yuan Mistook His Roommates for His Girlfriend.


    The picture attached on the news was a screenshot of the video in which Zhao Yuan made a solemn apology.


    ¡°The newspaper news had reported the event between a second powerful generation and several men. It turns out it was a big mistake! The newspaper specially set this special column to apologize sincerely to the Lin family with an article enclosed to rify the facts.


    The reporter, ¡°Please describe the situation at the time in detail.¡±


    Zhao Yuan, ¡°I was buried in the ruins for one night. All the things I thought at that time was the situation of my girlfriend. I missed her so much that my body was getting weaker. When I came out of the ruins, I suddenly felt all my eyes could see was shining white and the first person I saw was my roommate. But subconsciously, I took him as my girlfriend and instantly came up to hug him.¡±


    The reporter, ¡°At the time, didn¡¯t your roommates resist?¡±


    Zhao Yuan (with a smile), ¡°He kept cursing me, but I was a man of great strength and I was anxious at that time. Until I felt that something was wrong, I finally let him go.¡±


    The reporter, ¡°Why did you feel wrong?¡±


    Zhao Yuan (touching his head and smiling bitterly), ¡°I touched his Adam¡¯s apple, which greatly frightened me!¡±


    The reporter (smiled understandingly, and turned to Zhao Yuan¡¯s girlfriend), ¡°Are you Zhao Yuan¡¯s girlfriend?¡±


    Zhao Yuan¡¯s girlfriend, ¡°Yes.¡±


    The reporter, ¡°Where were you at that time?¡±


    Zhao Yuan¡¯s girlfriend, ¡°I was right beside him, and I felt quite confused! I let him kneel on a washboard to punish him!¡±


    ...


    Lin Wenxi only felt the cold had prated his bones. He hurriedly turned on the TV and switched to the local television station. The television showed clearly the video of Zhao Yuan.


    In the video, Zhao Yuan and Shu Xiaoman stood side by side. While smiling slightly, they bowed and apologized to Lin Wenxi.


    It seemed that the directions of all the public opinions were changed overnight. After Lin Wenxi had experienced a two days storm, he suddenly met a sunny day.

 Chapter 170 Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi Missed Each Other So Much that They Chose to Run Away Together

    <h4>Chapter 170 Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi Missed Each Other So Much that They Chose to Run Away Together</h4>


    ¡°No! None of these is true! All of this is fake!¡± Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t help bing furious.


    Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t remember how many time Lin Ziwei had pped in his face.


    Lin Ziwei was so angry that he almost fell to the ground. ¡°Now Zhao Yuan had corrected his own mistake and proved your innocence! How many more disgraceful things you are going to do?¡±


    ¡°Innocence? He and I are always innocence! I like him and he likes me. What is wrong with that? You must have forced him to do those things! What did you do to him? Did you threaten him with the case of his family?!¡± Lin Wenxi stared at Lin Ziwei with ring eyes.


    Lin Ziwei kicked Lin Wenxi down to the ground. But Lin Wenxi climbed up and made a threatening gesture. Then, he rushed to Lin Ziwei and was going to put up a desperate fight.


    Hong Xuan blocked in front of Lin Wenxi. ¡°Wenxi, calm down!¡±


    ¡°How can I calm down? Uncle Hong Xuan, Zhao Yuan, he has no father and no mother. He only has me now! How could you bear to treat him like that?¡± Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t stop crying and he struggled to rush to Lin Ziwei.


    ¡°This kid... This kid... What did Zhao Yuan do to turn your head? How can you be someone like this?¡± Covering her face, Huang Xiya held onto the chair. She felt so distressed as if her heart would break.


    ¡°Even if there is anything, don¡¯t wrangle with your father now. Take a step back!¡± Hong Xuan whispered sternly. Hong Xuan was actually very surprised because Lin Wenxi had never disobeyed his father since childhood. Lin Wenxi rarely quarreled with his father, let alone he was going to disrespectfully attack his father for real! In his heart, Hong Xuan somewhat felt that Director Lin was angry to the extreme. ording to his temperament, it was very possible for him to cut a finger of Lin Wenxi off on the spot.


    ¡°No! I am going to find him! I will make it clear to him!¡± Lin Wenxi grabbed Hong Xuan¡¯s arm and bit.


    Hong Xuan felt pain, but he didn¡¯t let Lin Wenxi go. ¡°Is that what a real man can do? You always bite! Go back to your room and calm yourself down first!¡± While saying this, he picked Lin Wenxi up around the waist and rushed to Lin Wenxi¡¯s bedroom within a few steps.


    ¡°Put him down!¡± Lin Ziwei shouted loudly. Hong Xuan could not help shivering and loosened Lin Wenxi. He anxiously whispered, ¡°Apologize to your father, Wenxi!¡±


    Lin Wenxi tore himself from him and came at Lin Ziwei again.


    In previous, Lin Ziwei was the superior of Hongxuan, so he was also a brave person who was good at fighting. Although he had been a government official for a decade and didn¡¯t practice the martial arts, he was still strong enough to subdue Lin Wenxi. He ducked sideways and directly grabbed the throat of Lin Wenxi by his fingers that curved like talons. He grasped Lin Wenxi by the throat and pressed him against the wall. Huang Xiya suddenly eximed.


    ¡°Tell me. What is your rtionship with Zhao Yuan?¡± Lin Ziwei asked coldly.


    ¡°We are a couple...¡±


    ¡°I will give you another fu*king chance! Answer me again!¡±


    ¡°We are lovers... I love him... He loves me...¡±


    ¡°I dare you to say that again!¡± Lin Ziwei became increasingly anxious. He exerted more strength to grab Lin Wenxi¡¯s neck. Now Lin Wenxi¡¯s tongue had rolled out a little, and arge part of the whites of his eyes also turned out.


    ¡°We are husband.... and wife... since... I was four...¡± Lin Wenxi¡¯s face already went purple, but he stared steadily at Lin Ziwei. His face twisted because of the pain of suffocation. But he still stubbornly refused to say what Lin Ziwei wanted to hear.


    Huang Xiya mmed the back of Lin Ziwei. Finally, she turned so anxious that she picked up a teacup and knocked it hard against her husband¡¯s head. The cup was smashed, and Lin Ziwei was bleeding. However, Lin Ziwei still stood still, his arm veins bulging. Lin Wenxi¡¯s tongue was pushed out a little. Because of the instinct to survive, Lin Wenxi struggled with his limbs kicking around involuntarily.


    ¡°Hong Xuan! You... You hurry... Wenxi, Wenxi is dying!! My child...¡± With her trembling hands, Huang Xiya picked up the fruit knife on the te. Shivering all over, she stood up slowly. At the moment, she looked at the back of her husband as if she were looking at a devil. At the sight of Lin Wenxi in misery, Huang Xiya walked up to Lin Ziwei step by step.


    Hong Xuan judged that Lin Ziwei did not intend to kill Lin Wenxi. Otherwise, he would have broken Lin Wenxi¡¯s neck already. Therefore, he endured the scene and waited for the change. But now, when he saw Huang Xiya going to stab Lin Ziwei, he had to jump on Lin Ziwei. Hong Xuan hit the crook of Lin Ziwei¡¯s arm with his elbow. Meanwhile, he bent his leg and directly threw Lin Ziwei to the ground. cing himself behind Lin Ziwei, Hong Xuan acted as a crash pad, and then they fell to the ground together.


    Lin Wenxi copsed to the ground from the wall. Huang Xiya hugged him and cried.


    Lin Ziwei stood up, lifted his foot, and kicked at Lin Wenxi. However, he kicked into Huang Xiya¡¯s belly instead. Immediately, shey down on Lin Wenxi, moaning ceaselessly.


    In a hurry, Lin Ziwei squatted down and held onto Huang Xiya¡¯s hands. He put her hands in his arms. After a long while, he asked in a trembling voice. ¡°It was me... It was my mistake... What should the Lin family do?¡±


    Hong Xuan waited until Lin Wenxi fetched his breath and helped him go back to his room. Lin Wenxi turned around and smiled coldly. ¡°Lin Ziwei! Remember that one day when you be old and are going to die, you will expect Zhao Yuan, who is the husband of you son, to nourish you in your old age and bury your dead body! As for me, I will never take care of you!¡± He turned around and mmed the door closed.


    ¡°When I finish the Zhao family¡¯s case, I wille back and send this evil son to the hospital!¡± With this, Lin Ziwei put his briefcase under his arm. Instantly, Hong Xuan stood beside him in high spirits.


    ¡°Keep an eye on this beast!¡± Lin Ziwei said, ¡°I will leave six people to help you.¡±


    Huang Xiya just shed tears in silence.


    That night, Lin Wenxi refused to eat and drink. Huang Xiya had to go to persuade him in his room. After a while, Lin Wenxi came out to eat. But Lin Ziwei and Hong Xuan were not there. Lin Wenxi felt a little surprise, but he maintained hisposure.


    The next day, whatever it was breakfast or lunch, Lin Wenxi didn¡¯t feel like eating. Naturally, Huang Xiya tried to relieve him of his unpleasant feelings. Also, she gave Lin Wenxi one more free hour at noon. Lin Wenxi noticed that three of the six guards left by his father were on duty now. He guessed that the other three guards must take the night shift.


    In the middle of the night, Lin Wenxi got up and went to the bathroom. He noticed that there was only one guard who was guarding outside his room. The other two should be patrolling around the house.


    That night, Lin Wenxi called out in the bathroom that he had a stomachache. When Huang Xiya was pouring the hot water for him, he took her phone in his hand. Later, when Huang Xiya came again, Lin Wenxi drank the water obediently. He told his mother that he would be fine after a few moments of rest. At that time, a message had already arrived at Zhao Yuan¡¯s phone.


    Another night, it was dark and windy outside. Once again, Lin Wenxi howled in pain with his hands on the stomach. Huang Xiya and two guards supported Lin Wenxi, and they rushed to the nearest hospital. For the moment, Lin Wenxi felt pain all over his skin, so the two guards did not dare to grasp him firmly. Looking at lights that were twinkling alternately at the alley, Lin Wenxi suddenly broke free, didn¡¯t know where he got the strength. At the end of the alley, Lin Wenxi saw the motorcycles of Zhao Yuan and Zheng Kai were blowing hot gas, and they waited for him in anxious. Immediately, Zhao Yuan grabbed Lin Wenxi into his arms. Then, they drove away at a fast speed in high spirits.


    Zheng Kai drove behind and kept the several guards away from Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan. He didn¡¯t allow those guards to touch their motorcycles. One of the guards pounced on Zheng Kai while the other two quickly sat on their police motorcycles and opened the red and blue double sh. Zheng Kai knocked the guard to the ground with his elbow. Right after that, he pressed hard against the elerator. With a series of the happy roaring of the motorcycle, he drove to the other direction.


    Before Yun Che and Zhu Ziping left, they left Lin Wenxi the motorcycle Zhao Yuan was riding now. It had the great horsepower and could run as fast as a car. Hence, those guards couldn¡¯t find them at all. They had to report the thing happened to Hongxuan. However, they couldn¡¯t reach Hong Xuan.


    ¡°Where are we going?¡± Leaning on Zhao Yuan¡¯s chest and clutching him tightly, Lin Wenxi closed his eyes with a smile and asked.


    ¡°You tell me.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯d like to get into your body.¡±


    ¡°Wenxi, are you ready?¡±


    Lin Wenxi buried his face deep in Zhao Yuan¡¯s chest and breathed deeply.


    ¡°To see you again, I was willing to go through any hardships.¡±


    No matter it was the end of the sky or the corners of the sea, Lin Wenxi would like to go with Zhao Yuan. Though there were thousands of words he wanted to say, Lin Wenxi only nodded affirmatively.

 Chapter 171 (I’ll Bite You to Death) Holding Each Other’s Hands, They Went All the Way North

    <h4>Chapter 171 (I¡¯ll Bite You to Death) Holding Each Other¡¯s Hands, They Went All the Way North</h4>


    The two people took the SIM card out and threw it away. The summer wind was cool, with a ze of lights on both sides of the road, like the farewell of fleeting time or the change of seasons.


    Zhao Yuan drove his car up to Jifu University in one go. After a while, Zheng Kai rushed over, along with many junior male and female students from a number of universities.


    Shu Xiaoman handed over a phone and said, ¡°An¡¯an is afraid of being tracked by the paparazzi, so she only recorded a video for you.¡±


    ¡°I hope when meeting again, you have no vows or promises; just holding hands, still an innocent one for us,¡± Zhang An¡¯an said so excitedly in the video that she covered her mouth for a while, then smiled and sang. ¡°I want to show you the sea, and say I love you; give you the brightest stars, and say I miss you... Let us only have free love.¡±


    ¡°Let us have free love.¡± Lin Wenxi sang along, with a smile and moist eyes.


    ¡°Hold your hands and grow old with you,¡± Zhou Nannan said, holding Wang Zhengjuan¡¯s hands tightly. Wang Zhengjuanughed and said to them, ¡°You are better than me!¡±


    ¡°You, too. Time flies, but you will be still young,¡± Lin Wenxi said with a smile.


    ¡°I hope we will meet again,¡± Shu Xiaoman slightly lowered her head and said. She still looked pale because before she had fully recovered, she had continued to work hard. As a result, she became ill once again.


    ¡°Um... For some private activity, masturbation... do it in moderation... A little bit for fun is ok, but more will do harm to you, and going longer and longer without abstinence will destroy you,¡± Wang Xiang said with a quick nce at Lin Wenxi. He was unable to bear looking into his eyes. He felt very embarrassed at the moment.


    ¡°If we meet again, I hope your hands will not be fully calloused,¡± Zhao Yuan said,ughing and patting Wang Xiang¡¯s shoulder.


    Zheng Kai turned around and said, ¡°It¡¯s my turn? Oh... If you need my help for some reason, don¡¯t hesitate to call me.¡±


    Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t help rushing into Zheng Kai¡¯s arms and said, ¡°Kai, my dear friend, thanks for your help all the time.¡±


    Zheng Kai took a slight step back and said, ¡°Must be... It must be A Yuan? You both are very excellent men and friends to me.¡±


    ¡°Zheng Kai just spoke out the puzzlement for me. How can good men choose each other...¡± Shu Xiaoman said and couldn¡¯t helpughing while covering her mouth.


    ¡°Kai, my friend, now you aren¡¯t opposed to our rtionship. I am very satisfied,¡± Lin Wenxi said, and couldn¡¯t help hugging Zheng Kai in his arms again and again, with a slight cough from Zhao Yuan behind.


    . Zheng Kai grinned and said, ¡°You... you are indeed as strong as a tiger, but pretend to be a silk cat.¡± As he spoke, he patted Lin Wenxi¡¯s back with a sense of embarrassment.


    ¡°This tiger has an elder brother who loves him. For a long time, I thought you cared for me just out of guilt for Gu Xi. Butter on, I knew that you treated me like your younger brother. You once said that Gu Xi had a mental age of nine years old. It doesn¡¯t matter for him to caress you. But I am one year younger than him. So it¡¯s still not a problem for me to caress you, am I right?¡± Lin Wenxi said and almostughed. Hey on Zheng Kai¡¯s shoulder and caressed a few more times. Seeing Zheng Kai¡¯s tetanic body, he caressed him again and again. Zhao Yuan couldn¡¯t stand it anymore.


    Until Zheng Kai began to sweat heavily, Lin Wenxiughed with his hands covering his mouth, then said, ¡°All right. You have put up with me for such a long time, and you suffered greatly!¡± Then heughed again with his head up and said, ¡°You looked so cute and I almost couldn¡¯t help kissing you.¡±


    Slightly distracted, Zheng Kai suddenly felt that if Lin Wenxi had long hair, he would look quite the same as Chen Wanxin. Thinking of that, he grinned andughed out loud.


    Zhao Yuan rushed over, utterly difited, and said, ¡°If you could y a trick like this in front of me, I can¡¯t imagine what you will do behind my back!¡± All the people keptughing. When Lin Wenxi got on the motorcycle, he waved his hand to the people again and said to Zheng Kai, ¡°Zheng Kai, don¡¯t ept another younger brother anymore. Otherwise I, this big tiger, will only kill one after another! Also, if you help others in the future, pay attention to your own safety first. Even though you are strong, you are also made of flesh and blood. We are all very concerned and worry about you!!¡±


    After Zheng Kai heard Lin Wenxi¡¯s heartfelt words, he was so moved and excited that he couldn¡¯t help walking two steps forward. He suddenly remembered that there was once a person who took care of and was concerned about him day and night for eight years. And then this person gradually made his heart full of tenderness toward the world, instead of a heart like iron.


    On the motorcycle, Lin Wenxi hugged Zhao Yuan¡¯s back tightly with great and full satisfaction.


    ¡°Hey, you mooched off Zheng Kai and now you are all hands to me. Do you really think that I am easily bullied?¡± Zhao Yuan said discontentedly.


    ¡°If you keep talking nonsense, I will not have sex with you for three years.¡±


    ¡°I will tie you up to have sex with you for three years.¡±


    ¡°Hmph, we will wait and see.¡±


    ¡°We... Where are we going first?¡± Zhao Yuan asked,ughing in the wind.


    ¡°We¡¯ll go north first. I want to find Gu Xi. I wonder how he is.¡±


    ¡°What if you find him? Do you want him to be a part of my harem?¡±


    ¡°If you dare to have some bad intentions, I will cut off your penis immediately.¡±


    ¡°It seems that someone needs to fill his mouth with something.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll bite you to death.¡±


    ...


    Late at night, they found a random hotel to stay in and had sex all night. At daybreak, Zhao Yuan was driving the motorcycle, full of energy, but Lin Wenxiined all day about a backache.


    After they arrived in an unknown town, they bought spare oil, tents, and so on there. Zhao Yuan kept calcting their remaining money and bargaining along the road with the money that had been earned on a work-study basis. He felt that money was actual money when youcked it. However, Lin Wenxi still bought a strange little box, mysteriously.


    When they set off again, it was at noon. On the early summer day in May, with the sun shining, Zhao Yuan was carrying a heavy package under the sun, full of sweat on his forehead. Lin Wenxi couldn¡¯t carry the backpack with the tent and the daily necessities in it. So, he could only sit pressed to Zhao Yuan¡¯s chest and stick together with the sweat dripping.


    Suddenly, feeling the cool breeze in his neck, Zhao Yuan lowered his head and nced down in a hurry, seeing that Lin Wenxi was holding an automatic fan in his hands and blowing air on himself. This was what he bought just now.


    Zhao Yuan suddenly felt that fate was not mean to him.


    ¡°Maybe after Uncle Lin finds out the evidence and catches the murderer, I can go back to offer a humble apology. Or maybe after Wenxi¡¯s parents think it through, I can take Wenxi back to show filial piety to them. But if these don¡¯t happen, I can find a ce and earn money to buy a car to travel around the world. If Wenxi wants to, then we can go to whatever country to get a marriage certificate together. Until we both get too old to walk, we can adopt several children, or even a few cats, facing the sea with flowers blossoming in spring.¡±


    Zhao Yuan thought, pushing his chin against Lin Wenxi¡¯s forehead and smiling slightly.


    When they got tired along the way, they would stop and take a rest, leaning against a tree to cool down, or Lin Wenxi mastered the direction to drive the motorcycle together on some untraversed roads, filled with apprehension. Unconsciously, they arrived at a boundary marker, which was the dividing line between a small town and the other provinces. Lin Wenxi looked up and gently kissed Zhao Yuan¡¯s jaw. The two men stared and smiled at each other. Then they got off the motorcycle and pushed forward.


    Behind them was their hometown. In front of them was only the north.

 Chapter 172 (Safe and Sound, I’ll Come back to You) A False Return on the News of His Father’s Death

    <h4>Chapter 172 (Safe and Sound, I¡¯ll Come back to You) A False Return on the News of His Father¡¯s Death</h4>


    Driving along the bumpy path, they found their motorcycle was running out of gas. In order to arrive at the next destination as soon as possible, they decided to choose the expressway. However, some ident seemed to happen on the expressway, so Lin Wenxi had to check online to see when traffic would resume. He asked Zhao Yuan to take care of their luggage and then walked into a inte caf¨¦.


    The local governmental department had announced that the expressway would be under maintenance and would open to the public after a week.


    Lin Wenxi thought for a while and could not help but click on the link to the little city¡¯s news.


    The whole homepage was gray, and there was a picture of several white candles at the top of the page. Obviously, it indicated mourning for the death of an important person. When Lin Wenxi saw the headline, he froze and could not move for a long time, as if struck by lightning.


    ¡°Tens of Thousands of People Send Wreaths to Commemorate the idental Death of Deputy Secretary Lin Ziwei.¡±


    Lin Wenxi rubbed his eyes and moved the mouse. The photo under the headline had been taken when his father, Lin Ziwei, had just taken office as the deputy secretary. He looked very dashing and ambitious. Now, both the confidence on his lips and the pride in his eyes had merged into the contrasting ck and white colors.


    There were several lines of small words under the photo indicating the dates of birth and death of Lin Ziwei, as well as what had happened at the time of the ident. It also exined that the driver who had been with him was missing, and his whereabouts were unknown. It was spected that he might have been killed in the line of duty. There was also a short text offering a reward for finding the body of the driver.


    Having waited a long time and still not seeing Lin Wenxi, Zhao Yuan came over with the motorcycle and looked around at the gate of the inte caf¨¦.


    ¡°Impossible!¡± Lin Wenxi ran out howling and covering his eyes with his hand. Zhao Yuan immediately gave him a hard tug to prevent him from crashing into the transparent ss door which was half-open at the gate.


    ¡°Wenxi, what happened?¡± Zhao Yuan was so worried that he left everything else behind.


    ¡°My dad... my dad!!¡± Lin Wenxi was unable to speak as he cried. Zhao Yuan¡¯s heart suddenly sunk.


    ¡°Call your mother now!¡± Zhao Yuan hurriedly pulled Lin Wenxi to the booth nearby and inserted the phone card into the slot.


    Lin Wenxi¡¯s hand was shaking so violently that it took him a long time to dial the number of his mother, Huang Xiya.


    ¡°Hi, Auntie! This is Zhao Yuan speaking. I¡¯m with Wenxi now. We just heard the news about Uncle. Auntie, please hold on. I¡¯ll ask Wenxi to speak with you!¡± With that, Zhao Yuan passed the telephone receiver to Lin Wenxi and then hugged his thin shoulder firmly while pressing his face to his forehead. After a long time, Lin Wenxi gradually stopped shaking.


    ¡°Mom, my dad...¡± Before he could continue, he had choked with tears. ¡°What I discussed with dad has unfortunatelye true. Heavens, you¡¯re so cruel to pay me back like this!¡± Lin Wenxi thought.


    ¡°Listen, Wenxi. Don¡¯te back!¡± Huang Xiya said in a calm voice.


    ¡°Mom, when did it happen? I¡¯m gonnae back to confess to dad right now. Mom...¡± Lin Wenxi held the receiver, leaning against Zhao Yuan¡¯s chest weakly. He was heartbroken and overwhelmed with sorrow.


    ¡°Listen! Don¡¯te back, and don¡¯t call again! The Lin family does not have such an unfilial son like you!¡± Huang Xiya sobbed and then suddenly hung up.


    ¡°She is still mad at me. Yuan, my dad... Mom is still mad at me. Had my dad not forgiven me before his death?¡± Lin Wenxi said incoherently, choking.


    Zhao Yuan deposited their luggage and then helped Lin Wenxi go over to a quiet park. After resting for a while, Lin Wenxi gradually regained hisposure.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go and buy the tickets!¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    However, Lin Wenxi refused to return home. He told Zhao Yuan about what had happened at home.


    ¡°I hate him!¡± Lin Wenxi said.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go back and take care of our mother, okay? She is our only dearest person now,¡± Zhao Yuan persuaded, embracing Lin Wenxi. They fell into a long silence. A pair of swallows skimmed over the water and then parted. Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes became red again.


    Zhao Yuan wanted to buy the return ticket for the afternoon, but Lin Wenxi disagreed.


    ¡°It will be difficult for me toe out again if I return home. I think we may all return to Jifu University finally. Don¡¯t you think so? Let¡¯s stay here one more night. A night so free,¡± Lin Wenxi said with a smile.


    That night, Zhao Yuan found Lin Wenxi crazy. He showed no signs of sadness on his face and keptmenting on Zhao Yuan¡¯s movements while they were making love. His dissatisfaction aroused Zhao Yuan¡¯s desire to conquer, and they repeatedly expressed their love for each other in the bathroom and on the bed.


    Zhao Yuan felt as if he had gone through an extremely difficult battle?¡ªno?¡ªfour battles at least. He was very exhausted for the first time in his life. Every time he ran out of energy, Lin Wenxi climbed on top of him like a hungry tiger. Zhao Yuan felt every muscle in his body surrender.


    Finally, Lin Wenxi shook his head in disappointment. Although the room was air-conditioned, he was still sweating profusely. He then asked Zhao Yuan to do a hundred push-ups as punishment.


    Lin Wenxi maliciously sat on Zhao Yuan¡¯s back. He stood up and jumped up and down from time to time. Zhao Yuan took a few breaks and managed to finish the push-ups. After that, Zhao Yuan did only two things before falling asleep?¡ªfirst, lie on the bed, second, embrace Lin Wenxi.


    Zhao Yuan woke up in the morning. After a night of rest, he had recovered his strength but felt a little sore in his chest. He usually had no problem doing so many push-ups with Lin Wenxi on his back, but knowing that he was already so tired the night before, Lin Wenxi still tortured him like that. Obviously, he had done it on purpose! Zhao Yuan reached out his arm to hug Lin Wenxi, but found no one beside him!


    The sandalwood on the table had burnt out. Zhao Yuan saw a box of delicious food such as beef, fish, etc. on the table. At the same time, he also found his wallet that had his ID card, bank cards, and cash inside, missing.


    He was right. Lin Wenxi, the bastard, had done it on purpose!


    There was a note on the table with tear stains and a poem on it.


    ¡°As man and wife we ever unite, we never doubt our love.


    Let us enjoy our fill tonight, as tender as cooing doves!


    Thinking of the way I should go, I rise to see if time is due.


    The stars appear dim high and low. Adieu! I must bid you adieu.


    Away to the battlefield I will die, I know not if we will meet again.


    Holding your hand, I gave a sigh. My tears of farewell fall like rain.


    Enjoy the spring flowers in view! Don¡¯t forget our time in glee!


    Safe and sound, I¡¯lle back to you. Even if killed, my love won¡¯t die with me.¡±


    Although Zhao Yuan could not understand all the words, the meaning of the first andst lines of the poem was obvious.


    Lin Wenxi would be in danger! Zhao Yuan immediately figured out the reason that Lin Wenxi had been reluctant to return home. ¡°It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t want to go home, it was that he didn¡¯t want me to go home with him. There must something strange about Lin Ziwei¡¯s death. Since those people dared to murder Lin Ziwei, it will be even easier for them to deal with Lin Wenxi and Huang Xiya?¡ªan orphan and a widowed mother.¡±


    Zhao Yuan wanted to rush downstairs, however, the moment he got off the bed, he could not help but stomp his foot in anger.


    Lin Wenxi had gone too far! Aside from Zhao Yuan¡¯s ID card, bank cards, and cash, he had also taken his underwear and shoes!


    Zhao Yuan wrapped a nket around his body and finished his breakfast quickly. He walked downstairs, wearing the slippers provided by the hotel that were as thin as paper.


    When he got downstairs, he became both anxious and angry, and he did not know whether he shouldugh or cry. The damned thief, Lin Wenxi, had even taken the deposit for their room!


    Most irritating of all, he had even told the hostess of the hotel that he had left Zhao Yuan to work for the hotel in order to pay for the nutritious breakfast.


    Zhao Yuan preferred to be a thief than be a waiter!


    Finally, the hostess of the hotel agreed to let Zhao Yuan work as a waiter for five days to pay the debt.


    Zhao Yuan tried to swindle some money but failed, so he began to concentrate on his work.


    Even when wearing the waiter¡¯s suit, Zhao Yuan looked so handsome that the hostess still wanted this castaway young master to be her daughter¡¯s boyfriend. Zhao Yuan eventually found an opportunity to call Zheng Kai. He asked Zheng Kai to go to the countryside first.


    During the first two days, Zhao Yuan did nothing after work aside from eating and resting well so as to save his energy. On the third day, he saw ady wearing a lot of jewelry and followed behind her quietly.

 Chapter 173 (I’m Your Husband!) Zhao Yuan Adopts Huang Xiya as His Foster Mother

    <h4>Chapter 173 (I¡¯m Your Husband!) Zhao Yuan Adopts Huang Xiya as His Foster Mother</h4>


    When he called Zheng Kai, thetter had told him that he had been arrested by the police.


    Apparently, Zheng Kai had tried all means to get into the Lins¡¯ apartment, but all his attempts failed. Finally, he rushed over in anger and knocked down several security guards, managing to reach the gate. However, a group of security guards subdued him and put him in jail. Fortunately, the security guards found out that Zheng Kai was a student of Jifu University based on his student ID, so they did not ask the police to punish him severely. In the end, he only spent several days behind bars. Aside from that, his cell phone was not confiscated.


    ¡°It¡¯s quite your style!¡± Zhao Yuanughed bitterly. He had already gotten a sum of money from the wealthydy. That night, thedy was so passionate, wanting to have sex with him. He managed to flee and was now on his way to Yangzi County.


    Zhao Yuan rode the bus to Yangzi County. When he got off, he rushed toward Lin Wenxi¡¯s apartment.


    Along the way, he caught a glimpse of Lin Ziwei¡¯s picture on a newspaper at a stall by chance. The page of the newspaper was in ck and white. Zhao Yuan stopped and saw that the first page had the following headline in big letters, ¡°The Deputy Secretary Died on the Way to Inspection, and His Son Hasn¡¯t Returned for His Funeral Yet.¡±


    ¡°Hasn¡¯t returned? Hasn¡¯t returned?¡± Zhao Yuan was shocked.


    At this moment, he really wished he could fly.


    At Lin Wenxi¡¯s apartment¡­


    Zhao Yuan did not see the security guards Zheng Kai had mentioned. The courtyard was empty. With the setting sun hanging low in the sky, the breeze gently touching the peach leaves that had fallen early, the firecracker debris, and the joss paper ashes on the ground, it made one feel deste and sad, as if one was on the way to theherworld.


    The door of the apartment was locked, but the windows were not closed. Looking through the anti-burry screen from outside, Zhao Yuan could see several chairs and a piece of a broken leather belt scattered on the floor. There was a calendar on the table. Obviously, Huang Xiya had turned the page of the calendar every day, but after the day Lin Wenxi had returned home, the calendar page did not seem to have been turned anymore. ¡°Where¡¯s Wenxi?¡± Zhao Yuan kept shaking the security screen and shouted loudly into the room, but nobody answered. The room was quiet, empty and lonely.


    ¡°What has he been doing in the three days since we lost contact? As the only son of the family, he must have suffered a lot!¡± Zhao Yuan thought.


    He squatted down as he looked up at the sky. The sun had set, and the sky was aze. Suddenly, tears swelled up and his vision became blurry.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you know that I¡¯m willing to shelter you from all dangers? If you¡¯re in danger after Uncle Lin¡¯s death, that means his death must be connected to my father¡¯s case. Do you know that? Wenxi, whether you like or not, you can¡¯t deprive me of my rights! You said that as man and wife we ever unite, we never doubt our love. Who am I? I¡¯m your husband!¡± He shouted inwardly.


    ¡°You came to pay your respects to Director Lin, didn¡¯t you? His funeral ceremony is going to be held in the countryside,¡± a slightly trembling old man said. He was too old and had to support himself with a walking stick.


    ¡°Did his son, Wenxi,e back?¡± Zhao Yuan asked anxiously, wiping the tears from his eyes.


    The old man shook his head and answered. ¡°Don¡¯t mention that evil son! He seemed to have left after quarreling with Director Lin. Everyone should have learned about Director Lin¡¯s death by now, but that evil son hasn¡¯te back yet!¡±


    Zhao Yuan nodded and thanked him for the information. He then ran out and stopped a car, heading for the countryside.


    The demolition of the governmentpound at the countryside had not been finished yet. Lin Ziwei¡¯s career started here, and now this ce would be thest station of his life in this world.


    The front gate was decorated with white flowers and ck cloth hanging on the portrait of Lin Ziwei, who looked confident and calm. The elegiac couplets on either side said, ¡°Contributing all the time in his life to free people from pain; Making great achievements in the happiness and well-being of the people, which will benefit generations.¡± The top scroll said, ¡°A Great Man.¡±


    The first time Zhao Yuan met Lin Ziwei, thetter had educated him for some time. It was not until now that Zhao Yuan could believe that it was also thest time he would meet Lin Ziwei. That strong-willed man with a few wrinkles on his face had always smiled. He had shouldered the responsibility of both the wellbeing of the local people and the education of his wife and son. However, such a person had died at forty-eight¡ªthe most glorious age of life. Zhao Yuan suddenly remembered his father, a man who had worked hard in his lifetime for the happiness of his children but could not enjoy a peaceful life in his old age. ¡°God was so unfair to them!¡± he thought, tears streaming down his cheeks. He did not know what was going on with Wenxi and his mother.


    Zhao Yuan was stopped by the security guard when he was about to walk in. He seemed so sad with his tears flowing and nose running as he looked at the security guard, unable to speak. Although the security guard was a man of strict discipline, he knew that Zhao Yuan was really sad so as to shed tears. Therefore, he did not question him further, and let him in.


    The courtyard was filled with funeral music. The grass and the trees seemed sad, and the clouds in the sky seemed to stand still. Zhao Yuan immediately saw Huang Xiya, who was kneeling in front of the coffin. Her head was wrapped with a white handkerchief, and she was wearing a white mourning dress. She looked skinny and had sunken eyes.


    Huang Xiya was still a little angry at the sight of Zhao Yuan, however, she still raised her body a little in acknowledgment. Then, someone gave Zhao Yuan three incense sticks and asked him what kind of etiquette he would follow.


    Zhao Yuan answered that he would kneel three times and kowtow nine times, like the children of the dead would do.


    That person said that Mr. Lin had only a son, and others were not allowed to perform such rites.


    Zhao Yuan raised his head and answered. ¡°Uncle Lin is a disinterested official. All the average people who have benefited from him can be regarded as his children. I¡¯m one of them, so I should be taken as one of his sons. Everyone is equal, so I must kowtow to him to show my respect.¡± Since he was so determined, and what he said sounded reasonable, the man turned to Huang Xiya and ask her for advice. Huang Xiya nodded slightly and said, ¡°He is the adopted son of my husband and I. ording to his identity and the etiquette rules, he can do that.¡± The man smiled in relief and said, ¡°Mr. Lin¡¯s son ising to kowtow to him. If Mr. Lin learns about it in theherworld, he will feel happy.¡± He then gestured, and the deafening saluting gun rang out nine times outside the courtyard. After that, the man reced the three sticks of incense with nine sticks and passed them to Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Xiya, has Wenxi¡­e back?¡± A middle-aged woman with a weary look walked in. When she found that the person who was kneeling on the ground was not Wenxi, she was shocked. Then, she cried bitterly, covering her face with her hands.


    ¡°Wenxi didn¡¯te?¡± Zhao Yuan did not dare to think about anything else. He took the incense, knelt down, and kowtowed hard three times. Then he stood up, knelt down, and kowtowed hard three times again. After doing this three times, the rites that the son should perform to his father was finished. Then, he was asked to kneel next to Huang Xiya. The middle-aged woman came over and knelt beside Huang Xiya as well. ¡°You have asked another person to finish the rites without Wenxi being here. Aren¡¯t you afraid that Wenxi will be considered unfilial?¡± she asked.


    ¡°Wenxi won¡¯te. He is no longer the son of Ziwei and me. Now, our adopted son has finished the rites on his behalf. Ziwei will be very happy in another world.¡± Huang Xiya answered calmly, looking sad.


    ¡°Aunt¡­ Wenxi¡­¡± Zhao Yuan could not help but ask.


    ¡°Wenxi hasn¡¯te back since his father passed away. There are still many things we need to do¡­ Ziwei left us so suddenly¡­ The government demanded that we cremate his body, but a few rtives and I want to bury him. Only by retaining his body can he resurrect. If he turns into a handful of ash and there is nothing left¡­ Right now, we don¡¯t have any man to make decisions for us, and we don¡¯t know if the coffin should be ced here three days or seven days. We are all women¡­¡± the middle-aged woman said, and began to cry again, patting Huang Xiya on the back.


    ¡°Biya, when people die, there¡¯s nothing left. Why are you still struggling with these unnecessary and overborate formalities?¡± With that, Huang Xiya stared at Lin Ziwei¡¯s portrait, falling into silence for a long time.


    Zhao Yuan asked about Lin Wenxi repeatedly, but Huang Xiya only shook her head, saying that she did not know Lin Wenxi¡¯s whereabouts. Zhao Yuan did not dare to ask too much, so he looked for signs that Lin Wenxi might havee back, while cautiously taking care of Huang Xiya.


    ¡°Ziwei has been working on your father¡¯s case, and he has collected a lot of evidence. Before his death, he had gone to visit thest critical witness. As his wife, I¡¯m confident in his ability.


    ¡°Wenxi has changed a lot. He is more outgoing and mature than before. But what you two think¡­ I have a personal request as well. I hope you can persuade Wenxi to change his mind. Everyone said that it was pathological. I can¡¯t imagine my son getting such a disease. We wanted to take him to the hospital when the time was right. Can you help me get him cured when you see him in the future?¡±


    Looking at the weary look of Huang Xiya, Zhao Yuan felt worried. He was respectful and filial to the sad woman, and he took care of her as if she were his own mother. He did not dare to mention anything about Lin Wenxi casually.


    Since he had performed the rites of a son, he should take the responsibility of a son. With him making decisions, things became easier. The coffin would be ced in the courtyard for three days. After that, the body would be cremated and sent to the cemetery of the county. Due to his special status and great achievements, the local government decided to arrange a secluded, separate cemetery for Lin Ziwei. His rtives and friends were happy about that. When they asked for Huang Xiya¡¯s advice, she did not answer but instead looked at Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan thought that Lin Ziwei had always adhered to the policy that officials should be close to the masses and take them as their family, so he preferred to put his ashes in themon cemetery so that he would be among the masses and rest in theherworld in theirpany forever.


    In the first seven days after Lin Ziwei¡¯s death, Huang Xiya stayed up every night. Nobody could stop her from doing that. Zhao Yuan served tea and took care of her the whole time, so all the rtives and friends of the Lins took him as their family. Even the cousins of Lin Wenxi, who had never seen Zhao Yuan before, called him ¡®Brother Yuan.¡¯


    However, on the eighth day, Huang Xiya disappeared without saying good-bye to anyone.


    ¡°Ziwei had two wishes for Wenxi before his death. First, he hoped Wenxi would marry Hong Xuan¡¯s daughter, Hongyan. Second, he hoped Wenxi would lead a happy life. Since I have adopted you as my son, you¡¯re Wenxi¡¯s adopted elder brother. If you still want to keep the improper rtionship between you, you should think about my dead husband and your rtionship! I¡¯m taking my husband with me, and I won¡¯te back here anymore. You¡¯re a nice person. Both you and Wenxi have grown up. Be careful not to choose the wrong way. Kid, thank you for your care in the past few days. Wherever I am, I wish you the best.¡± This was thest message Huang Xiya had sent to Zhao Yuan. After that, she could no longer be reached on the phone.


    Lin Ziwei¡¯s ashes had been buried in the cemetery. What Huang Xiya had taken away with her was a small portion of his ashes that had been sealed in a silk bag. Zhao Yuan had many questions to ask her, but she had not mentioned anything about them.


    Zhao Yuan sat in front of the lotus pool in the countryside, staring at it nkly. Lin Wenxi¡¯sughter had rung out here, his touching smile had appeared behind the torch here before. It was midsummer and the grass was flourishing, but his beloved had gone. He could only recall the good times he had spent with him here.


    Under the dazzling sunshine, Zhao Yuan walked around the lotus pool. He saw the green, lush lotus leaves stretch to the horizon, interspersed with lotus flowers. A waterfowl was standing in the lotus pool alone. Then he walked to the local governmentalpound. The por tree stood there gracefully, its luxuriant foliage cast a great shadow on the ground. He vaguely heard several kids ying there. This was the same scenario as before.


    At this point, Lin Wenxi woke up in the ICU of a county hospital.

    <h4>Chapter 193 (A Cooperation Agreement Has Been Reached) Chen Yuanxi¡¯s Trip in North Works</h4>


    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Chen Yuanxi had recovered hisposure.


    ¡°Are you still acting?¡± Zhang Dong sat down and took out a video yer.


    Chen Yuanxi was horrified to find that it was shown in the video that he and Zhao Yuan were holding each other tightly at the door.


    ¡°Fortunately, this won¡¯t be sent to Mr. Mo in real time. It will be sent half an hourter,¡± said Zhang Dong.


    ¡°Did you install it?¡± Chen Yuanxi could not help asking.


    ¡°Of course,¡± Zhang Dong said with a calm face, ¡°It was hanging in that corner all day. Didn¡¯t you find it? And Zhao Yuan also has be an idiot! You two should work separately. If you work together, both of you will be foolish and can do nothing. ¡±


    ¡°What do you want to do?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    Zhang Dong deleted the video, then he went out and installed the camera again. As he moved thedder, he said, ¡°I felt that something bad would happen when I saw Zhao Yuane in. So as soon as you closed the door, I destroyed the camera. However, you can only have one chance. If it happens again, Mo Qian will definitely send someone else to be your bodyguard. It may be Luo Yang. Do you believe it?¡± said Zhang Dong.


    ¡°Are you threatening me?¡±


    ¡°I dare not. You are the young master of the Chens now, but don¡¯t forget that I¡¯m still your instructor! Today, I¡¯ll teach you something. You have been very careful all the time since you join the Chens, and you should even be cautious about your food which might be poisoned. However, you lose your mind and caution every time when you meet Zhao Yuan! Do you want to destroy all these years¡¯ hard work? Don¡¯t you want you and Zhao Yuan¡¯s father to be vindicated? If you want to, put aside all these private affairs first! Don¡¯t you know who you are facing? Wake up!¡± After that, Zhang Dong pped the table hard.


    Chen Yuanxi¡¯s face was suddenly solemn. If it had not been for Zhang Dong, all this would have been known by Mo Qian, as well as by Chen Tianjiao. Even if he could make thousands of excuses to escapeter, the trust he had gained in the Chens would be greatly reduced, and Zhao Yuan would be regarded as the enemy by the Chens again. Chen Wanxin and Zhao Yuan would divorce, then...


    ¡°What do you want?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°I hope you believe me,¡± said Zhang Dong.


    Chen Yuanxi did not speak any more and went back to his room. Zhang Dong was still lying on the sofa with his clothes.


    Because Chen Yuanxi came in person, a city in Inner Mongolia was willing to ept BC Company¡¯s investment in the city, and to cooperate in the development of scenic spots with distinctive features.


    Chen Yuanxi invited Chen Wanxin, the president, and shareholders, who were interested in the development in Inner Mongolia, to go to Inner Mongolia with him. He also brought Zhang Dong with him. Zhao Yuan, as the representative of the cooperativepany, together with Shu Xiaoman, the secretary, and the senior management of thepany, also made field visits. They came back and forth, and more than half a month passed.


    Chen Wanxin had to admit that the ce Chen Yuanxi chose really had great development potential. The shareholders had reached a preliminary agreement, willing to make the additional investment here.


    After the cooperation agreement was reached, the news that YH Company and BC Company would closely cooperatepletely broke off the news that Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin were not harmonious after getting married. Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin joined hands to attend the conference and cut the ribbon at the opening ceremony of the newly establishedpany in Inner Mongolia, several hands holding together.


    Chen Tianjiao was very satisfied with this. He had been looking on coldly for a long time. He agreed on Chen Wanxin¡¯s and Zhao Yuan¡¯s request for certificate, but the condition was that the YH Company had to be listed. Mo Qian, as a result of capital operation, ounted for most of the shares of the branchpany in Inner Mongolia, and the rest was jointly held by YH Company and BC Company.


    Zhao Yuan had started preparing more than half a year ago, and now what he needed was funds, contracts, financial statements, and other orders, but it was unknown that why his listing n had been dyed. It seemed that it would be postponed to the next year.


    Zhao Yuan was so furious that he dismissed the financial team of thepany. Chen Wanxin wanted to help Zhao Yuan with the financial team from the BC Company, but received Chen Yuanxi¡¯s full suppression and opposition. Zhao Yuan had no choice but to invite a new financial team to manage the financial affairs. The new financial team had just taken over the work, and they had to start the work from the beginning. In this way, the listing n would be postponed again.


    Chen Wanxin asked Zhang An¡¯an, ¡°Zhao Yuan doesn¡¯t love me, does he?¡±


    ¡°You know the answer. For the sake of his father¡¯sst words and the development of thepany, he married with you.¡± Zhang An¡¯an said, ¡°Is your whole life only worth one¡¯sst words? ording to what his father said, if you don¡¯t want to, Zhao Yuan doesn¡¯t have to marry you.¡±


    ¡°But I want to,¡± said Chen Wanxin


    ¡°Wanxin, if I were you, if I really love Zhao Yuan, and Zhao Yuan also loves me, then I would give up all the shares of thepany for him. No matter how my father thinks, I would directly register for marriage with Zhao Yuan, be a full-time wife, and raise my own children. No one can stop me. But you can¡¯t give up so many shares, right? So, in your mind, Zhao Yuan, or that certificate, is not as important as those shares! Why do you have to be so stubborn? Just let go of yourself and others, will you?¡± advised Zhang An¡¯an.


    ¡°In this way, all I have will belong to Chen Yuanxi!¡± said Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°So, your shares take the first ce, thepetition with Yuanxi takes the second ce, and the certificate takes the third ce. Maybe Zhao Yuan takes the fourth ce?¡± said Zhang An¡¯an.


    Chen Wanxin hung up.


    ¡°Zhang An¡¯an is right. Maybe I should be a full-time wife and have my own children!¡±


    At the same time, Zhao Yuan¡¯s investigation in Inner Mongolia had made substantial progress. A clue indicated that Wang Wankun and Rao Yu had been involved.


    ¡°One of the people who guarded Zhang Dong¡¯s parents is Wang Chang, the nephew of Wang Wankun. After being reced, he has been being tracked by the Mo Family. Now his whereabouts are unknown. ording to the investigation, we think that he doesn¡¯t want to work for the Mo Family any longer. Guess who Wang Chang is?¡± said Zhao Yuan mysteriously.


    ¡°Since you asked me to guess, he must be someone I¡¯m familiar with. The one, who I¡¯m familiar with and also is rted to the Chen Family, must be Wang Zhengjuan,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°You¡¯re going bald, Yuanxi.¡± Zhao Yuan said discontentedly.


    ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. Tell me now, what are you going to do?¡±


    ¡°I think Wang Zhengjuan has little to do with this matter. She and Nannan are in Shanghai now. We needn¡¯t disturb them. But I¡¯m afraid that you have to meet Wang Wankun in person. Several years ago, Wang Zhengjuan asked for your help. I believe that her parents must know you. But now we don¡¯t know whether they are friends or not. You have to make them tell us,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Okay. You¡¯ve done a good job, thank you. By the way, you¡¯ve been listening to Chen Wanxin recently. As long as she asks you to apany her, then you go. Don¡¯t you worry that something bad will happen?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi with a smile.


    ¡°I slept on the sofa for more than half a month. If you don¡¯t help me, I might sleep with your rival,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    Chen Yuanxi frowned and said, ¡°Be serious!¡±


    That night, Zhao Yuan received arge box of extremely thick condoms in his room, and his face turned livid.

 Chapter 175 (All Because of You) Murdered His Brother Because of His Wife

    <h4>Chapter 175 (All Because of You) Murdered His Brother Because of His Wife</h4>


    ¡°Time flies! It has been twenty years! Now everything between us is over. Educating an outstanding son for me, plus your life can make up for my hatred toward you for taking my woman away!


    ¡°When I fell in love with Huang Xiya, she was only seventeen. I had been courting her for seven years! When I was twenty-seven, she finally agreed to marry me.


    ¡°We used to be brothers! We went to school together, went back home together, ate together, and we even wore the same trousers! When we were sixteen, we joined the army together. After that, we tempered ourselves in the army together. Because we forged ahead with determination, both of us were promoted and given loyal subordinates...


    ¡°After retiring from the army, from a delivery man you became a clerk, while from amunications technician I became an official staff member of a state-owned enterprise.


    ¡°Later, we both became members of government offices. Although we had different politics, we were still sincere toward each other and never cheated on each other in dark officialdom. I thought in such a harsh environment, at least I had a brother to clean up the dirty water of officialdom with me.


    ¡°We shared the same ideals, but we did things in different ways. I admit that I wasn¡¯t as smart and capable as you were. That was why you always got promoted faster than I did, but I didn¡¯t admire or envy you at all. I even kind of adored you for yourposure. You could always solve problems by surprise inadvertently. You loved the masses and treated them as your own children. Although you were young, even your elders called you ¡®Brother Wei.¡¯ You were both virtuous and disinterested, and enjoyed a good reputation among the officials!


    ¡°As your brother, I had always been proud of you.


    ¡°But you also admired me because I also had something you liked but couldn¡¯t get.


    ¡°Everyone knew that I had a pretty, gentle, and adorable girlfriend. Since we didn¡¯t work in the same town, I had been trying to transfer her job. I looked forward to when we would work in the same town and my unit would allocate me an apartment. I would be able to afford the betrothal gifts and marry the one-in-a-hundred talented woman rightfully. Her parents were snobs, and in order to marry her, I put in great effort. In those seven years, I missed her so much whenever I couldn¡¯t see her. I, Chen Tianjiao, only loved Xiya in my life. If it wasn¡¯t for my parents and the work, I wouldn¡¯t have married my current wife, Deng Yifei. She loves me, but I have never loved her!


    ¡°On my way to purchase materials for the army, I passed by a bookstore. The first time I saw her there, I was deeply attracted to her.


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t enough to describe her as ¡®stunningly beautiful¡¯, because she was not only beautiful but also a well-known talented woman who could write beautiful poetry and articles as well. I regarded myself as a literary young man, butpared to her, I was nothing at all. You were only a rough man, how could you be worthy of her? I was so lucky to have met her and won her heart.


    ¡°In those seven years, Xiya and I didn¡¯t have much time to be together. I didn¡¯t know that you had written many letters to her during that period. You spent all your sry and subsidies in a year on writing letters! Xiya loved me and she had never written back to you. If someone else hadn¡¯t mentioned it to me, I wouldn¡¯t have believed that the moment you saw Xiya¡¯s photo, you fell in love with her!


    ¡°Even when I found out about it, I wasn¡¯t mad at you. The love of beauty is universal. There were few women as outstanding as Xiya, so it was no wonder that many men wanted to get her. I wanted to give you a chance to fairlypete with me. I neither asked you about it nor mentioned it to Xiya. If Xiya chose you, I might get myself drunk for a few days, but after waking up, I would still wish you happiness, and treat you like my best friend! I, Chen Tianjiao, could be that frank and aboveboard. But what did you do to me, Lin Ziwei?


    ¡°You knew that Deng Yifei of our vige loved me, so you resorted to fraud. You slipped pills into my drink, took away Xiya, who was sleeping by my side, and got Deng Yifei into my bed. After that night, we conceived my daughter, Chen Wanxin... Under my parents¡¯pulsion, I had to marry Deng Yifei. But Xiya believed that I was innocent. After one year¡¯s effort, I divorced Deng Yifei and left her and my daughter. Xiya still agreed to marry me.


    ¡°Twenty years ago, Xiya was about to marry me when you came up with a venomous scheme again! You found several pregnant women and asked them to use me that I was the father of the babies in their bellies! Moreover, you even found several girls and asked them to use me that they were all my former girlfriends.


    ¡°I couldn¡¯t exin those clearly. Later, I was put into jail for half a year because someone used me. Without you, these wouldn¡¯t have happened!


    ¡°When my grievances had been cleared, none of those women were willing to betray you. They only said that they had wanted to marry me, so they came up with such a bad idea! Ridiculous! Lin Ziwei, it was so ridiculous!


    ¡°When I was released from jail, you had married Xiya! And Xiya was already pregnant!


    ¡°Do you know how sad and ashamed I was when I saw your wedding pictures? It was her most beautiful moment with a wreath on her head and her beautiful long hair flying in the breeze. However, she wasn¡¯t by my side at the moment. Was the smile on her face genuine? I could feel the reluctance and helplessness in it!


    ¡°Everyone thought us a perfect couple. I would have wanted to go through thick and thin with her! The two of us made a promise at the source of the Wenxi River of another county that we would never part. You thought yourself a man of magnanimity, but you should know that the dirtiest thing you have done in your life was to take your brother¡¯s wife away!¡±


    Chen Tianjiao¡¯s heart throbbed. Lin Wenxi¡¯s eyes and eyebrows looked a little like Huang Xiya¡¯s. ¡°Maybe only I and Xiya could give birth to such a good-looking and charming child. I had seen Wenxi a long time ago, but I didn¡¯t think that he was my son. I thought Xiya had given him the name of ¡®Wenxi¡¯ only in memory of our past. I had never thought that he was our son!


    ¡°After getting married, you had a beautiful wife and a good-looking son. You had a sessful official career and you became a division leader. In order to catch up with you, I chose a different path. I made mistakes all the time. I know that even if I did good deeds for the rest of my life, I couldn¡¯t make up for what I did! But why did I end up like this? It¡¯s all because of you! You kept me down all the time and wanted to get rid of me. You never expected that you would offend so many senior officials while investigating the old case. So you should be med for your own death! No matter how capable, a deputy secretary is only a fish. How can it win a fight against a steel?


    ¡°Whether you¡¯ll hate me or feel regret in theherworld, you should bless your son to lead a happy life. I won¡¯t let him know the other side of our family, and I won¡¯t let him have anything to do with Moshi. Since my daughter has gotten involved in those businesses, I have to let her continue on this path. As for the son of Xiya and me, I will make sure he will be safe and healthy. And he will have his own career. Let¡¯s wait and see. I¡¯m responsible for the rest of Wenxi¡¯s life.¡±


    The news of the return of Chen Tianjiao¡¯s son spread throughout the whole n. Lin Wenxi was only neen years old, and he was a student at the university, so all the n powers tried to approach him. Chen Wanxin¡¯s mother, Deng Yifei, ttered her stepson by all means. However, what troubled her was that her daughter, Chen Wanxin, did not like her younger brother.


    The news that Lin Wenxi was her brother came to Chen Wanxin like a bolt from the blue!

 Chapter 176 (A Cold Light Flashing) A Slight Error in Thought Almost Leads to Disaster

    <h4>Chapter 176 (A Cold Light shing) A Slight Error in Thought Almost Leads to Disaster</h4>


    Chen Wanxin felt it was ridiculous. The person she had wracked her brains to deal with was actually her younger brother! Moreover, this brother had not only taken her boyfriend away but would also take her ce in the family. Having thought of these, she gritted her teeth and hated him to the core. How could she even squeeze the trace of a smile for Lin Wenxi.


    Had Mo Qian and Luo Yang not gotten a strict order not to harm Lin Wenxi so that they did not dare follow her instruction, Chen Wanxin would have killed Lin Wenxi when he was still in the hospital. Chen Wanxin had always believed that she was not cold-blooded enough to end a person¡¯s life, but recently, she found herself so sober-minded that she could even n something that she had never dared to think before.


    ¡°It is said that you had a terrible argument with him. Who were you fighting about? I think it must have been Zhao Yuan. Aside from those stupid and sweet girls from Jifu University, who will support you? Zhao Yuan seemed to have attended Lin Ziwei¡¯s funeral on your behalf. Since you two have eloped, how could he do that?¡±


    Chen Wanxin had asked Lin Wenxi to meet her at the cafe. As she talked about this, sheughed. Lin Wenxi walked quietly, and then entered the cafe from the side door.


    ¡°Lin Ziwei is not my father. I was brought up by my mother and Uncle Hong Xuan.¡± Lin Wenxi answered in a low voice.


    ¡°Are you saying that you¡¯ll be loyal to me? Are you sad? How did it feel when you were almost beaten to death and abandoned by your mother? Did you join our family because you had no other choice? Or is there something up? Listen! The Chens are different from the Lins, and nobody will take you as a member of our family! If you want to stay here, you¡¯d better be humble and never try to make trouble! If you find a job after graduation, we¡¯ll be fine! If you dare to get your hands on our family¡¯s businesses or contact Zhao Yuan again, I won¡¯t let you go!¡± Chen Wanxin threatened viciously.


    ¡°Wanxin, we aren¡¯t at war yet, but you have already lost. You¡¯ve spent a lot of effort on A Yuan, but the number of times I made love with him is more than the number of times you held his hand. In this respect, you havepletely lost. Now, what are you worrying about? Are you afraid that I will take your ce in the family, or you are afraid that I¡¯ll inherit our father¡¯s fortune?¡± Lin Wenxi sneered, grabbing his trouser pocket.


    ¡°Your surname is Lin! You don¡¯t deserve to call my father dad! You¡¯re just a bastard of yourscivious mother and my father!¡±


    Lin Wenxi clenched his fist firmly. He stared at Chen Wanxin and said, ¡°Wanxin, don¡¯t go too far!¡±


    ¡°Lin Wenxi, I saw the photos of your father taken after his death. His mouth, eyes, and ears were full of mud. He swallowed a lot of mud before his death. It is said that drowning is the most painful way to die. I wonder what it felt like for a person in darkness to only inhale mud when he tried to breathe, and could only swallow mud when he opened his mouth. Do you think he thought of you when he was dying?¡± Chen Wanxinughed loudly, covering her mouth with her hand. Looking at Lin Wenxi¡¯s face that was pale after a serious illness, she became even more triumphant.


    Lin Wenxi pinched the dagger in his trouser pocket.


    He had brought the dagger for self-defense aftering to the Chens, but he had not thought it would be used at this moment. If he killed the woman, he would be sentenced to death. Then, the Chens would be extinct. Making their family extinct could also be a means of revenge!


    Thinking of this, Lin Wenxi stopped hesitating. With a cold light shing, he raised his dagger and thrust it straight toward Chen Wanxin¡¯s neck.


    It was toote when Chen Wanxin saw the dagger and wanted to dodge. However, someone grabbed the dagger firmly, causing the person¡¯s palm to get cut and begin to bleed.


    It was Zheng Kai.


    Chen Wanxin¡¯s face turned pale with fear, but she also felt a little sad.


    After returning home from university, Chen Wanxin was arranged to stay at a ce in the countryside where she used to live. She did not do anything but wait for the notice that she should go abroad. When she saw the news about Lin Wenxi in the newspaper, she was overwhelmed with excitement. Several days ago, she had already seen some rifications. Chen Wanxin could easily tell that some people at Jifu University had done many things to prepare the videos, pictures, and the texts of the news. Furthermore, Zhao Yuan would rather say that Shu Xiaoman was his girlfriend and did not even mention her name. What made her even angrier was seeing videos of Dongchuan¡¯s interview. Zheng Kai was the one who had traveled thousands of miles for thepletion of the interview videos.


    Zheng Kai did not seem to know that Wang Xiang had a crush on him, and he even ignored the fact that Gu Xi had loved him for eight years. He even disagreed with what his father had done after his death. Why he was warm-hearted enough to help Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi?


    Chen Wanxin could not understand it. Everyone seemed to be helping Lin Wenxi. Even that bitch, Zhang An¡¯an, who had never taken sides, did not care if the scandal about her conceiving Wang Xiang¡¯s child woulde to light while defending Lin Wenxi in the media.


    However, whenever she was at home, she always saw a man looking up at her window from the other side of the street. She knew it was Zheng Kai.


    She did not know why Zheng Kai came to Yangzi County and asked about her whereabouts. He walked around under her apartment every day, but Chen Wanxin had never walked downstairs to meet him. She hated this man extremely. She did not understand why he knew what she disliked but still did not do anything for her. Not only did he not regard Lin Wenxi as an enemy, he even took good care of him.


    But it was also this man who had grabbed the dagger with bare hands and saved her life. As of now, he had helped her three times.


    ¡°I know you can send this bastard flying with a kick. Why were you so silly as to get yourself injured?¡± It pained Chen Wanxin to see Zheng Kai get hurt, but she felt anger more.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to hurt him.¡± Zheng Kai looked at Lin Wenxi, emotionlessly. ¡°Wenxi, I don¡¯t want you to hurt Wanxin either.¡±


    ¡°Zheng Kai, let go of my dagger!¡± Lin Wenxi shouted angrily.


    ¡°Wenxi, both your dad and my dad have passed away. I didn¡¯t like my dad before, but I know that I will never see him again in my life, even when I am old or dead. I know how you feel! You told me to take care of myself first before helping others. I also hope that you can think of yourself before doing anything,¡± Zheng Kai said, looking at Lin Wenxi with concern.


    Ever since he had returned to the Chens, nobody had been this frank with Lin Wenxi. He could not help but burst into tears. He stopped thrusting the dagger and his hand loosened feebly. Taking Zheng Kai¡¯s bleeding hand in his, he was both angry and regretful. He began to tremble with inner pain.


    ¡°Zheng Kai! You... How could you say that to him?¡± Chen Wanxin was so angry that she almost cried. ¡°If you help me kill him, I¡¯ll... I¡¯ll marry you!¡±


    ¡°Wanxin, what are you talking about? I will marry you only if you are truly willing to marry me. Otherwise, I¡¯d like you to marry another man happily.¡± Zheng Kai smiled slightly.


    ¡°Zheng Kai, I¡¯ll never love a dumbhead like you! If you help Lin Wenxi, you¡¯ll be my enemy!¡± With that, Chen Wanxin left both angry and shaken.


    ¡°Wenxi, don¡¯t be that stupid anymore. If you send the Chens to jail one day, I¡¯ll wait for Wanxin¡¯s release without ming you.¡± Zheng Kai held Lin Wenxi¡¯s hand tightly.


    ¡°Brother Kai, why did you fall in love with such a woman? You deserve the best woman in the world. Why?¡± Lin Wenxi could not help but hold Zheng Kai, crying. All the grief, pain, and fear he had suffered in the past few days burst out that moment. Now, the man who was by his side was Zheng Kai, whom he regarded as his elder brother, and not his beloved.


    ¡°How is Zhao Yuan now?¡± Whenever he thought about how awkward Zhao Yuan must have been after he took away his clothes, money and cell phone, Lin Wenxi could not help butugh bitterly. He knew that Zhao Yuan had attended the funeral of his father on his behalf. Now, every word he had said to his father gave him bitter pain and remorse.

 Chapter 177 (My Name Is Chen Yuanxi!) Lin Wenxi Changes His Name After Returning to the Chens

    <h4>Chapter 177 (My Name Is Chen Yuanxi!) Lin Wenxi Changes His Name After Returning to the Chens</h4>


    When Zhao Yuan learned what had happened to Lin Wenxi, he was still in Tianfu County to deal with the aftermath. He went to Yangzi County in a hurry, but because Chen Wanxin¡¯s apartment was heavily guarded, he did not find a chance to get in.


    Zhao Yuan and Zheng Kai stayed outside the apartment for two days before they finally saw two luxurious cars approaching. When from afar Zhao Yuan saw Lin Wenxi, whom he had not seen for such a long time, he rushed out recklessly. Zheng Kai failed to stop him, so he had to follow.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, did youe to visit me, or someone else?¡± Chen Wanxin opened the sunroof and asked loudly.


    Lin Wenxi kept silent in the back seat.


    ¡°Wenxi, how are you doing?¡± Zhao Yuan stood in front of the car and asked anxiously.


    The window rolled down, revealing Chen Tianjiao¡¯s cold face to Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°He is the murderer who killed Wenxi¡¯s dad!¡± Zhao Yuan thought. He had seen Chen Tianjiao¡¯s photos in the newspapers but never met him in person. Recalling what Hong Xuan had said, he clenched his fists tightly.


    Lin Wenxi seemed to have seen through Zhao Yuan. He raised his head slightly and said, ¡°Zhao Yuan, this is my dad, Chen Tianjiao.¡± He was cold, lifeless, and emotionless as he spoke. ¡°Is he really Lin Wenxi, the person I miss so much?¡±


    ¡°Wenxi, how are you doing?¡± Zhao Yuan asked with a hoarse voice.


    Lin Wenxi nodded with a faint smile and answered. ¡°You know how I had been at the Lins. Although I¡¯m a stranger here, I¡¯m getting by.¡±


    Chen Tianjiao smiled and turned his head and asked, ¡°Only getting by?¡±


    ¡°Dad, of course you¡¯ve been good to me,¡± Lin Wenxi said with a faint smile. Looking at Zhao Yuan, he said, ¡°Yuan, go back to the university. I¡¯m good. That¡¯s enough.¡±


    ¡°Out of nowhere like lightning! Really? His father?¡±


    When the window was rolled up halfway, Zhao Yuan suddenly reached out to stop it.


    Chen Tianjiao could not help but get angry. ¡°Young man, do you want to make trouble?¡± He shouted.


    Zhao Yuan held on to the window and refused to let go. Chen Tianjiao ordered the driver to move forward.


    He reached out and grabbed Zhao Yuan¡¯s hand while the driver immediately released the brake.


    He pried Zhao Yuan¡¯s fingers from the window one by one with his cold hand. Zhao Yuan deeply felt that he cared only about himself.


    Seeing them moving away, Zhao Yuan immediately started the motorcycle he had rented. With a roar of the motor, it rushed out like an arrow flying from the bow.


    ¡°Wenxi,e with me!¡± Zhao Yuan weaved through the crowd, and soon, several policemen on motorbikes were following him. Meanwhile, Chen Tianjiao asked his driver to speed up and leave him behind.


    ¡°Don¡¯te to me again. I¡¯m a member of the Chens. Yuan, take care!¡± Zhao Yuan received Lin Wenxi¡¯s message as he left the traffic police brigade. He was speechless as he stared at the short text message.


    The Chens were on their way to the countryside to hold a ceremony. The news of the return of Chen Tianjiao¡¯s son should not have caused such a stir, but this son had been raised for neen years by Lin Ziwei, his enemy. It made everyone in the family a bit worried.


    The ceremony was grand, and because the Chens were powerful enough to manipte the media, no news of the ceremony came out, and this big event only circted from ear to ear.


    As soon as Chen Tianjiao announced that Chen Yuanxi was his long-lost son, some elders of the family objected. Their reason was simple: since Lin Wenxi¡¯s surname was Lin and he had been raised by Chen Tianjiao¡¯s political opponent, Chen Tianjiao should not let him return to the Chens openly. Some others who were not so extreme thought that since Chen Tianjiao and Lin Wenxi were rted by blood, Lin Wenxin should be taken as a member of the Chens. However, Chen Tianjiao should never give the Chens¡¯ business to his son.


    Because most elders of the family were against it, even though Chen Tianjiao had made sufficient preparation, he still felt embarrassed and angry.


    Chen Tianjiao turned his head and looked at his wife, Deng Yifei. Deng Yifei then stood up and emotionally said, with tears flowing and nose running, that although her daughter was as capable as a man, she was still a girl. She only hoped that her daughter would lead a simple life, and she was relieved that her husband¡¯s son would take over the family business. She was happy for her daughter as well.


    Everyone could sense her deep love for her daughter based on her words. They were so moved. It also inspired the maternal love of a small group of female members of the family, and they could not agree more with her. To ease the worry of some people that Lin Wenxi and Chen Wanxin might not get on well with each other, Deng Yifei exined that the two of them had studied in the same university for two years, and they were as close as brothers and sisters. Fate had brought their rtionship further, and they became real siblings, so both Lin Wenxi and her daughter were lucky.


    Chen Wanxin then said that she loved her brother very much and that she would like him to be a member of her family. However, the stubborn family members continued to oppose them, and the family was almost on the verge of war! Mo Qian remained calm. He immediately ordered several dozen people to surround the ce. The situation was serious enough to rm even the military of the town.


    Amidst the chaos, Lin Wenxi coldly watched what was going on.


    He was in the middle of a dilemma.


    But it was as if he could see through everyone as his gaze swept over the people in the hall.


    He stood up and shouted. Both sides became quiet. He then raised his head and spoke in an extremely cold voice, piercing every corner of the hall.


    ¡°I have changed my name. My current name is Chen Yuanxi. ¡®Xi¡¯ means ¡®first rays of the morning sun.¡¯ Since my dad is God¡¯s favored one, I should be as excellent as him. After neen years, I have returned to my hometown and have be a member of the Chens, which is connected to me by blood. If anyone calls me ¡®Lin Wenxi¡¯ again, this will be a sign of disrespect and an insult to my father, Chen Tianjiao!¡± He paused for a while, looking at the family members with satisfaction as they ruminated over the meaning of his words.


    ¡°You¡¯re all my uncles and aunts, or my siblings. I, Chen Yuanxi, will treat you as my rtives, and I¡¯ll try my best to lead everyone in taking our family to greater heights once I take over the business from my father. I haven¡¯t made any contribution to our family yet, and all you know about me is that I¡¯m Chen Tianjiao¡¯s son. Let¡¯s wait and see. I¡¯ll show you what great achievements I can make in a few years! I won¡¯t forget those who support me, and I¡¯ll give them great rewards. However, if anyone still refuses to ept a child of the Chens as a member of their family, I won¡¯t show mercy to him when I take the power of the Chens!¡± Chen Yuanxi spoke in a firm voice, and his words were like an invisible knife on everyone¡¯s neck. All the elders became acutely aware of the kid in front of them as not only Chen Tianjiao¡¯s son by blood but also as a tough person. Nobody dared to protest again, and everyone fell silent.


    Deng Yifei looked at some of the elders of the family.


    Not long after, an elder stood up in the crowd and shouted. ¡°How will you prove that you¡¯re loyal to our family?¡±


    ¡°We have just started our business abroad, and we don¡¯t have enough people to handle the business yet. I¡¯m going to study abroad and I¡¯ll help our family handle the business there. During this period, I will stay out of domestic business. If I can¡¯t make our overseas business prosperous, I¡¯ll never put my hands on our family¡¯s domestic business. If I break my word, I will die in my boots! You have my word. If anyone still thinks that I¡¯m not qualified, just say it!¡± Chen Yuanxi said loudly.


    Chen Tianjiao could not help but take a deep breath. The kid had juste back less than half a month ago, and Chen Tianjiao had only briefly introduced the family business to him for the sake of his status. He was surprised that Lin Wenxi had already gotten so familiar with the family business, and he had even made up his mind to change his name!


    How could a neen-year-old child be so brave and determined? Lin Wenxi had never mentioned that he would change his name. Had he discussed it with him in advance, things would not have gone this far. However, this was the only way he could find out who among the Chen family members were on his wife, Deng Yifei¡¯s, side. Chen Tianjiao smiled faintly. But if this kid had also thought of things this way, it was a little terrible.


    However, Chen Tianjiao did not want to suspect him anymore. Having just been reunited after neen years, it seemed that they were fated to be father and son.


    After finishing his words, Chen Yuanxi left with easy, putting his hands into his trouser pocket.

 Chapter 198 (Dear Fool) Zhao Yuan Took Precautions to Solve Chen Yuanxi’s Problems

    <h4>Chapter 198 (Dear Fool) Zhao Yuan Took Precautions to Solve Chen Yuanxi¡¯s Problems</h4>


    In Chen Wanxin¡¯s hands, it was the two usation letters and obvious evidences of Chen Yuanxi transferring and collecting ounts.


    ¡°Should we hand it to the judiciary authorities and police or settle it out of court and you leave thepany with nothing? Of course, you have made contributions to thepany, so you will be allowed to hold some shares and dividends, so as to ensure that you will not live a poor life in the future.¡± Chen Wanxin threw the documents on the table, and all the shareholders frowned in puzzle for a while.


    ¡°I was framed!¡± Chen Yuanxi loudly said, ¡°So I believe that the police will prove my innocence.¡±


    ¡°Were you framed? Tell me, who can frame you with these pieces of evidence?¡± Chen Wanxin sneered.


    ¡°I¡¯ll asked mywyer to exin for it. Before the police find out the truth, I¡¯m still the major shareholder of thepany! Now I¡¯m going to announce the first decision that BC Company will buy back its shares in YH Company and use it as a fund for thepany to explore the Inner Mongolia market!¡± said Chen Yuanxi. This decision had been discussed and was made by Zhao Yuan and Chen Yuanxi two days ago. After the listing, Zhao Yuan needed to leave BC Company. Finally, he would announce that Chen Wanxin and he had not got the marriage certificate. This was the so-called kicking down thedder. In order to seek self-protection, Chen Yuanxi announced this decision in advance to slow down the war.


    ¡°Sister Wanxin, do you think we should call the police or privately negotiate and investigate it?¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    Once BC Company bought back its shares of YH Company, Zhao Yuan¡¯spany might not be able to be listed. Chen Wanxin knew that this meant that her wedding would be postponed again. She did not expect Chen Yuanxi to ignore Zhao Yuan¡¯s interests now.


    To Chen Yuanxi¡¯s surprise, Chen Wanxin nodded and said, ¡°I agree to buy back the shares of YH Company.¡± It would take time to buy back shares. As long as Chen Yuanxi was overturned, Chen Wanxin was confident that she could change the decision made in the shareholders¡¯ meeting.


    As expected, Chen Yuanxi¡¯s personal freedom was first restricted and then his authorities inpany were removed. He was not allowed to leave the small town and had to cooperate with investigation at any time.


    Chen Yuanxi knew that Chen Wanxin had already been prepared so that the police¡¯s action was so fast. But he did not understand what had happened between Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin so that their engagement could not threat Chen Wanxin.


    A few days ago, Chen Wanxin went to ask for Mo Qian¡¯s help to drive Chen Yuanxi out of BC Company, and proposed that he would get some options of BCpany in a low price aspensation.


    Mo Qian just indifferently said, ¡°Since marrying you is already in the will, what are you worried about?¡± ¡°In those days, your affairs in City A were discovered by your brother due to Zhao Yuan. Now because of Zhao Yuan, do you want your brother topletely discharge you from thepany?¡± After that, Mo Qian stopped talking.


    Mo Qian¡¯s words awakened Chen Wanxin to the realization that she almost lost everything for the contract.


    Although Mo Qian helped neither Chen Yuanxi nor Chen Wanxin, he still provided a way for Chen Wanxin, which was her ssmate, the Wangs in the past. Chen Wanxin got the evidence of Chen Yuanxi¡¯s mistakes for the reason of what had happened in that year. Then she quickly set a trap for Chen Yuanxi, and did not want to give him any chance to survive.


    The affairs about Wang Zhengjuan had not been settled, and his own affairs had been found by Chen Wanxin. Chen Yuanxi could not help but smile bitterly when he thought of that.


    Hearing the news, Zhao Yuan grinned and said on the phone, ¡°Haven¡¯t you had a good rest recently? Have you forgotten that I asked you to return me one million and make a corporate ount? s, we always need a n B, my dear fool!¡±


    After being teased by Zhao Yuan, Chen Yuanxi was a little angry. Then Zhao Yuan continued to say, ¡°I¡¯ve explored it in Inner Mongolia. The other side needs your token. Think about what it is.¡±


    Chen Wanxin really could not tell whether she was framed by Zhao Yuan and Chen Yuanxi together. Although the evidence was clear, Chen Yuanxi leisurely showed the record to the police that he had transferred the money which Chen Wanxin thought he had embezzled back to YHpany. Whether had he embezzled? YH Company showed the chat record between Shu Xiaoman, the assistant of the president, and the financial staff. It suggested that Shu Xiaoman had asked the financial staff to transfer the money to the corporate ount of BCpany, rather than to Chen Yuanxi¡¯s private ount, but the financial staff made a mistake and transferred the money to Chen Yuanxi¡¯s private ount, so that Chen Yuanxi was believed to had embezzled.


    Then, YH Company transferred the one million to the corporate ount of BCpany, which was called the cooperative rebate for purchasing building materials. In the contract, the cooperation rebate was clearly exined. The whole matter made Chen Wanxin speechless.


    Chen Wanxin asked Luo Yang to investigate the financial staff, but the financial staff had already gone to Bali with arge amount ofpensation money and was lying on the yacht in Bali, surrounded by beautiful women. Chen Wanxin waster reprimanded by Chen Tianjiao, and could not say a word for herself.


    But the token arranged by Hong Xuan really upset Chen Yuanxi.


    He did not receive the token that Hong Xuan said at all.


    He thought about it again and again. When Zhao Yuan came to the small town, he asked Zhao Yuan to do something.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t been a thief!¡± Zhao Yuan said as he waved his hands.


    Hearing that, Chen Yuanxi frowned while Zhao Yuan curled his lip.


    Then Chen Yuanxi curled his lip while Zhao Yuan frowned.


    Finally, Chen Yuanxi gently patted his hips, and Zhao Yuan ran away in a happy mood.


    ¡°He must be a goat in thest life!¡± Chen Yuanxi sat there, depressed for a long time.


    Zhao Yuan, full of grievance in his heart, went to Ziyun Piano Store in the small city to find a girl named Hong Yan. Then he stole half of the pendant and took many pictures of Hong Yan¡¯s life.


    ¡°I¡¯m the head of apany that is going to be listed, but I actually stole something for you!¡± Zhao Yuan came back in anger.


    ¡°Was stealing shoes is okay?¡± Chen Yuanxi asked indifferently.


    ¡°You stole my clothes!¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Did I? Why can¡¯t I do it since you can? A few years ago, Wanxin told me that she is your girl. Do you think I know nothing?¡± Chen Yuanxi stood up with great momentum.


    ¡°I, I did that to get some information.¡± Zhao Yuan sat down with fear, hugged Chen Yuanxi¡¯s waist, and leaned against him.


    ¡°What if she has a baby?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°It¡¯s impossible. I used two condoms...¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Then why don¡¯t you use when you sleep with me?¡± Chen Yuanxi was angry.


    ¡°Let¡¯s have a try tonight to see if you¡¯ll bite my arm again because of pain!¡± Zhao Yuan grinned as he said that.


    ¡°Hum, tonight? I want to change our roles tonight, OK?¡± Chen Yuanxi raised his eyebrows and smiled.


    ...


    Zhao Yuan took the pendant and asked with a smile, ¡°Is this a love token?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t change the topic!¡± Chen Yuanxi could not help being rude.


    ¡°It¡¯s a love token, isn¡¯t it? You see, you also have a love affair with someone else...¡± Zhao Yuan was extremely aggrieved.


    Chen Yuanxi was both angry and helpless, saying, ¡°When I was a child, my father and uncle Hong Xuan exchanged it with each other, and Hong Yan and I were arranged to get married when we were very young. Uncle Hong Xuan must be worried about me, so that he began to think about my marriage, and hoped that I could officially start to contact Hong Yan.¡± ¡°That¡¯s it. Now you can send someone to Inner Mongolia. I will let the American connect with you and tell you what you should do.¡±


    ¡°Where¡¯s Zhang Dong?¡± asked Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°He goes to get some information for me. I¡¯m going to be a bad guy...¡± Chen Yuanxi stretched out.


    ¡°Be my bad guy first...¡± After Zhao Yuan finished his words, Chen Yuanxi once again felt that he had been lifted.


    ¡°Can¡¯t you hold me like holding a baby every time? It¡¯s embarrassed,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    Zhao Yuan lifted Chen Yuanxi, and made him sit on his shoulders, shouting, ¡°Anybody wants to by a child?¡±


    After a while, Chen Yuanxi¡¯s scream rang.


    ¡°Wenxi, I¡¯m sorry... The lintel of the door seems to be too short...¡± Zhao Yuan cried out with concern. Just now, it seemed that they were back in time. He was the six-year-old boy in the countryside again. He put the little Lin Wenxi on his shoulder and ran around in the field.

 Chapter 179 Lovers Apart—They Were Meant to Be Lovers for Only Half a Lifetime

    <h4>Chapter 179 Lovers Apart¡ªThey Were Meant to Be Lovers for Only Half a Lifetime</h4>


    Chen Yuanxi would leave for abroad tomorrow. Chen Tianjiao had prepared everything for him, like visa, luggage and ticket, and had found a university that would ept Chen Yuanxi. Chen Yuanxi had to admire Chen Tianjiao¡¯s wide connections. Chen Wanxin was assumed to go abroad, but she decided to give it up. She would like to take over her family business while continuing her studies at Jifu University. Even so, Chen Tianjiao had managed to arrange everything in such a short time.


    ¡°Dad, I¡¯m going abroad tomorrow. I want to go back to my hometown and walk around. After all, it may be a long time before Ie back.¡± It was the first time for Chen Yuanxi to request Chen Tianjiao for it.


    Chen Tianjiao closed his eyes and did not answer.


    Chen Yuanxi lowered his head slightly and said with a smile, ¡°I know you don¡¯t want me to go back because I lived with my adopted father there so many years, but there are trails of mother as well...¡± He sobbed.


    After hesitating for a while, Chen Tianjiao nodded. He touched Chen Yuanxi¡¯s head and said, ¡°I have arranged people to look for your mother. I promise they will find her.¡±


    ¡°Please arrange more hands to protect me! All the outsiders said that I was Lin Ziwei¡¯s unfilial adopted son. Maybe some impulsive young men will throw stones at me. Who knows?¡± Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.


    Chen Tianjiao nodded in agreement.


    Chen Yuanxi walked slowly and after a while, he was far away from the Chen mansion. He turned around and said with a smile, ¡°Brother Fa, someone has been making trouble at your girlfriend¡¯s hair salon recently. Even I worry about her safety. If there is nothing special, you can take a leave today. And you, Brother Fu! I asked someone to bring imported nutritious food to your mother. I¡¯m sure she is much better now. You can visit her today. Brother Lu, You should know better than a bachelor like me what day is today. You¡¯d better take the time to be with your wife. Otherwise, she will be annoyed.¡±


    The three bodyguards were so touched at his words. However, since Chen Tianjiao had ordered them to closely follow behind Chen Yuanxi, they did not dare leave without his permission.


    ¡°It¡¯s up to me. Don¡¯t worry. My father won¡¯t object. I will contact you after Ie back. I will meet you here at eight this evening.¡± Chen Yuanxi smiled.


    The three bodyguards had never seen their young master smile like that. In their minds, Chen Yuanxi was just like a god who knew what they were thinking about, and all of them felt extremely ttered. However, they were still hesitating.


    Chen Yuanxi frowned slightly and his face darkened. ¡°You only have five seconds to think about it. Get out of here, now! Do you want me to go back home and leave you here in the sun?¡±


    The three of them immediately disappeared from Chen Yuanxi¡¯s sight.


    ¡°Our young master has always been nice to us!¡± one of the bodyguards said with a sigh. The other two nodded in agreement when they thought they were going to see their family members.


    Chen Yuanxi stood on the street and stretched himself at the sun. He flicked the dust from his sleeve. Deng Yifei had bought this suit for him, and he had to put it on at Chen Tianjiao¡¯spulsion. This suit was tailored and carefully made, so it was very expensive. When he was Lin Wenxi, he had never imagined that he would have worn such high-quality sports clothes one day.


    The girls on the street could not help but look at him. Chen Yuanxi looked too obvious on such a street with his tall and slim figure, fair and handsome face, high-ss suit and glitter watch. Such a wealthy and handsome young man was the Prince Charming of all the young girls in love. For them, such a man could only appear in the movies and TV series.


    Chen Yuanxi walked slowly. He walked down a long street full of roses, but no fragrance left on his body.


    At the end of the familiar road was his home, which he could never return.


    Zhao Yuan was lying on a bench at the gate, wearing in clothes. Chen Yuanxi could not tell if he had fallen asleep. Beside Zhao Yuan were the bedding and sheets Chen Yuanxi had taken from home and some clothes he could no longer take.


    Some of them belonged to his father, some to his mother, and to himself.


    Zhao yuan seemed to lie in a broken and sweet memory.


    Chen Yuanxi suddenly felt liking crying.


    ¡°You finally got him,¡± said the old man who had leaned on his crutch to show Zhao Yuan the way. He walked to Zhao Yuan and continued, ¡°Young man, you have been waiting here from sunrise to sunset every day. You¡¯re even more diligent than I when I was courting my wife!¡±


    Zhao Yuan came back to himself. He was so surprised when he saw the person in front of him.


    ¡°Wenxi... After all, Director Lin had raised you for neen years!¡± The old man shook his head and sized Chen Yuanxi up. Frowning, he took off his reading sses and wiped it before wearing it again. Then he looked Chen Yuanxi up and down again and said, ¡°You have changed a lot. I will tell Director Lin what you look like in the future when I meet him in another world.


    ¡°Uncle! Please...¡± Zhao Yuan stopped the old man from continuing, with a sincere look.


    The old man left with a sigh. Chen Yuanxi stood still, looking at Zhao Yuan indifferently.


    Zhao Yuan heard from Huang Biya that Chen Yuanxi and Lin Ziwei had a big fight, so Chen Yuanxi had even refused to attend Lin Ziwei¡¯s funeral. Later, he got the news that almost choked him¡ªChen Yuanxi was actually Chen Tianjiao¡¯s son by blood! Besides, he had already returned to the Chens. Zhao Yuan was not interested in what Huang Biya told himter about what had happened between Huang Xiya, Chen Tianjiao and Lin Ziwei. He had a feeling that Chen Yuanxi seemed to be getting further and further apart from him, and the two of them were almost standing on opposite sides of the earth.


    ¡°It¡¯s ironic that Chen Wanxin is the murder, Chen Tianjiao¡¯s daughter! Although I have never loved her, she had loved me for so long time. And my beloved Wenxi is Chen Tianjiao¡¯s son!¡±


    Zhao Yuan felt incredible. Wenxi hated everything of the Chens, how could he have taken Chen Tianjiao as his father and return to the Chens? Apart from the blood which ran in him came from the Chens, everything else about him was given by Uncle Lin and Auntie Huang!


    Zhao Yuan had been waiting here for half a month.


    They looked at each other. The courtyard was extremely quiet. Now it seemed the sunshine had turned to the moonlight, the day to the night and the sky full of stars. Everything was so quiet that they seemed to be the only two in the world.


    Zhao Yuan could not hold back his tears when he looked at the person with his mouth open, seemed to have a thousand words to say to him.


    The bearing and dress of the man in front of him were quite different from before. It seemed Chen Yuanxi had matured by ten years in the two months after leaving Zhao Yuan. His eyes were no longer clear and bright. Nobody could tell what he was thinking. His was no longer naive, but more rational and calm, like an adult man. His face was no longer as pale as a sheet, but turned a tan, like bronze polished by time, emanating the glow of maturity.


    However, despite his stubborn air, the fine dress could not hide his skinny face, and the high-ss skin care product could not wipe the weary look from his face.


    ¡°I knew you woulde here.¡± Chen Yuanxi smiled slightly.


    Chen Yuanxi¡¯s tears welled up again. He had realized a long time ago that this man would be his lifelong weakness, and he was clear that he would be this man¡¯s mortal danger. He did not know why he just could not control himself at sight of him. Maybe he still clung to the tenderness of the moment in his arms.


    ¡°Wenxi!¡± Zhao Yuan whispered.


    Like being struck by lightning, Chen Yuanxi suddenly sobered.


    ¡°My name is Chen Yuanxi. Lin Wenxi had been beaten to death by his mother,¡± Chen Yuanxi said coldly, trying to break free of Zhao Yuan¡¯s embrace.


    ¡°No. You¡¯re still Wenxi. There is only one Wenxi in the world, and no matter what happened, you will share it with me.¡± Zhao Yuan held Chen Yuanxi in his arms firmly and did not want to let him go.


    ¡°I came here to give back one thing to you.¡± With that, Chen Yuanxi walked into the room. Everywhere in the room was clean, even better than before. The TV, table, chairs, tea table were still in their original ce. Even the fan which had been used seven years had been carefully cleaned and it looked like a new one. Chairman Mao¡¯s portrait hung above the front door. It seemed he was looking at Chen Yuanxi serenely, and reminding him about Lin Ziwei. Chen Yuanxi had a feeling that his parents were still living here just like before. He seemed to see his father sitting in the big chair on the left with a serious look and reading a book, his mother writing her work, and Uncle Hong Xuan looking at him softly and firmly.


    It had been two months since they parted. Now things remained the same while the person had changed.


    Chen Yuanxi¡¯s tears dropped onto the floor.


    Even if he avenged Lin Ziwei, his life would never be the same again.


    Since parting with Zhao Yuan at the hotel, the only thing he had taken back was the pair of statues. Now they were lying in the luggage bag he had not had time to put away when he came backst time.


    Chen Yuanxi took the statues and put them in his pocket. Then he slowly walked around in the room. He came to his bedroom, the living room, his parents¡¯ bedroom, the dining room, the kitchen and the back corridor.


    They walked out silently. After a while, they reached the only hill in the Yangzi County. There was a temple on the hill named Buddha¡¯s Voice Temple. Chen Yuanxi had never believed in God or Buddha, but now he suddenly had an impulse to have someone from the temple to tell his fortune.


    The buildings of the temple were mighty. Maybe because there was also a well-known Taoist mountain at the border of Yangzi County, people in this region would visit the Buddhist temple or the Taoist abbey to make wishes or ask for fortune-telling. All bodhisattvas in Buddha¡¯s Voice Temple looked mighty and vivid.


    Chen Yuanxi and Zhao Yuan were waiting for a monk to tell their fortunes.


    The monk was confused. He asked Chen Yuanxi and Zhao Yuan, ¡°Why are you both asking me to tell your marriages, not your careers?¡±


    ¡°Only with marriage can there be a career,¡± Zhao Yuan answered.


    Chen Yuanxi said coolly, ¡°All beings are endowed with the Buddha nature, but because of their delusional persistence, their Buddha nature is hidden. If we have Buddha in our minds, we¡¯ll find Buddha everywhere. As for our career, relying upon ourselves is better than relying upon the others.¡±


    The monk was very happy. He said, ¡°It¡¯s not easy to understand something about the Buddhist scriptures at your age. ording to this logic, you don¡¯t have to ask me about your marriage, because it will be better to rely on yourselves.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi shook his head helplessly and said, ¡°If God doesn¡¯t bless me, no matter how hard I try, I have little chance to get married with the one I love. As the saying goes, do one¡¯s best and leave the rest to god¡¯s will. I have tried my best, so I want to know the god¡¯s will now.¡±


    Zhao Yuan gaped. He sized up Chen Yuanxi, who was still Lin Wenxi in his eyes.


    Twirling the Buddha beads, the monk said with a smile, ¡°Benefactor, please throw the peach wood for divination.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi threw two pieces of peach wood onto the floor, one heads and one tails. The monk shook his head and said, ¡°Young man, you¡¯re a little upset, so you¡¯re not sincere enough. You¡¯re not confident about your marriage, are you?¡±


    Chen Yuanxi froze. He had never expected that the rtionship between Zhao Yuan and him to be blessed. ¡°Did the monk mean that Zhao Yuan and I have the opportunity to be together?¡± He wondered. Chen Yuanxi closed his eyes and threw the peach woods onto the floor again. Two heads! That meant he was sincere enough. Then he needed to throw the peach woods another three times in a row.


    ording to his own rule, the monk picked a sealed slip from the third row and second column of the lucky draws. He asked Chen Yuanxi to open it.


    Chen Yuanxi opened the slip and saw two words on it¡ª¡±Causeless Flower.¡±


    He was shocked.


    The monk shook his head slightly. ¡°If two people who are not doomed to be together meet, they can only enjoy a moment of happiness, but their rtionship can¡¯tst long. It will lead them to ¡®marriage robbery¡¯.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi looked at the monk seriously and asked, ¡°What¡¯s ¡®marriage robbery?''¡±


    The monk exined with a sigh, ¡°Whom you will meet and marry is destined, but many people who can¡¯t get what they want are reluctant to ept the results, so they will think about robbing other people¡¯s marriage. That¡¯s the so called ¡®marriage robbery.¡¯ If the two who are not destined to be together try to be together, they will not only break up those who are destined to be together, but also unable to stay with those they love long.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi looked at the monk nkly. He felt that it was quite like the rtionship between the three of them¡ªZhao Yuan, Chen Wanxin and him.


    ¡°But maybe you still have a chance. As the saying goes, man is the master of his own fate.¡± The monk sped his hands, narrowed his eyes, and stopped talking.


    ¡°You have never believed in Buddha. Why did youe for divination? I don¡¯t believe the ¡®marriage robbery¡¯ he said. Even though I have robbed someone else¡¯s marriage, I won¡¯t give it back!¡± Zhao Yuan pulled Chen Yuanxi out and put a lot of money into the charity box.


    ¡°We are doomed to part. If we continue to be together, we¡¯re robbing other people¡¯s marriages,¡± Chen Yuanxi muttered.


    ¡°I know you must have a lot to tell me. Me too. Let¡¯s find a quiet ce and discuss it. Don¡¯t be silent as you werest time, okay?¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°Do one thing for me,¡± Chen Yuanxi said.


    ¡°Say it.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s y house,¡± Chen Yuanxi said, pointing at a water pit. It was shining today, but it had rained the day before, so a number of water pits appeared on the mountain road.


    ¡°How?¡± Zhao Yuan asked.


    ¡°Just do as we did in our childhoods,¡± Chen Yuanxi answered.


    Zhao Yuan found a water pit and dug a lot of mud from it. Chen Yuanxi stood still and looked at him. After a short while, Zhao Yuan¡¯s clothes and skin were covered with mud. He built up two y houses with mud as if by magic. Then he made eight y figures with two masses of mud for each. After that, he made a square y box. Time passed in the processing of the mud. It reminded Chen Yuanxi of a dozen of years ago. ¡°The box that the eight people are carrying is arge sedan chair. The weak and slim figure on the sedan chair is me, Chen Yuanxi. The adorable sturdy man who is walking ahead of the sedan chair is Zhao Yuan. This one is his house, and that one is mine. The sedan chair is being carried out from my house,¡± Chen Yuanxi thought.


    ¡°A girl who lives in a small vige has beautiful eyes, and ck, shiny hair.¡± Lin Wenxi used to sing this line more than ten years ago.


    ¡°Her bridegroom made a bridal sedan chair that needed eight people to carry. It isn¡¯t because the girl is too heavy, but because her bridegroom loves her so much,¡± Zhao Yuan had sung this line with him ten years ago.


    ¡°The bearers carried the sedan chair out my house, heading for yours. I opened the window and glimpsed your shoulder secretly.¡±


    ¡°The bearers carried the sedan chair out your house, heading for mine. You looked at my broad shoulders secretly and your heart could not help but beat fast.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi drew his thoughts back and began to hum the song with Zhao Yuan, just like what they had done years ago.


    ¡°The girl smiled shyly and asked the magpies if her bridegroom took her to his heart.¡±


    ¡°Her bridegroom grinned and said, ¡®You don¡¯t have to ask the magpies. You¡¯re already in my bridal chamber!''¡±


    With that, Zhao Yuan suddenly carried Chen Yuanxi on his back.


    Time flew. The sun and the moon rose in the sky every day. What had happened a dozen years ago was still vivid in their memories.


    One day ten years ago, it had rained at beginning, and then the sun came out at dusk with breeze gently blowing. They remembered that the sunshine had been so warm, and the drizzle had been like silk.


    An elder boy carried a younger boy on his back. He excitedly rushed on the path in the field and shouted loudly, ¡°I will marry you when I grow up!¡±


    ¡°Do you still remember?¡± Chen Yuanxi asked, leaning on Zhao Yuan¡¯s back.


    ¡°I remember. I said I would marry you.¡± Zhao Yuan put Lin Wenxi down and embraced him.


    ¡°Do you remember your dad¡¯sst will? Do you remember what you have said in front of his tomb?¡± Chen Yuanxi continued.


    ¡°You, you still remember it.¡± Zhao Yuan was a little sad.


    ¡°Are you still going to marry me?¡± Chen Yuanxi looked at Zhao Yuan emotionlessly.


    ¡°I...¡±


    Chen Yuanxi covered his mouth gently. ¡°Yuan, fairy tales can nevere true!¡± With that, he hurled the statues in his hand far away and then ran away.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, you can¡¯t forget what happened, and I can¡¯t forget the hatred. We will fight again sooner orter. Let¡¯s put an end to this rtionship. I wish you happiness in your life.¡±


    Zhao Yuan failed to grab Chen Yuanxi. When he was worried about the statues, Chen Yuanxi had run away.


    He stood on the slope, feeling sad.


    ¡°As man and wife we ever unite, we never doubt our love,¡± Zhao Yuan remember this two lines and read them to himself. ¡°You said that...¡±

 Chapter 180 (I Can’t Forget You) It Has Been Six Years Since We Last Met

    <h4>Chapter 180 (I Can¡¯t Forget You) It Has Been Six Years Since We Last Met</h4>


    Six yearster...


    At the hotel of the highest building in the CBD of G city, a group of well-dressed people raised their sses to a man sitting in the middle. They looked at him with admiration. Even in casual clothes, this man had a very impressive bearing. His big eyes were shining under his sword-like brows, his nose was high and straight, and his chin was clean-shaven with a bit of stubble. With his slightly pursed lips, he looked calm and at ease. His broad, square chin was raised a little. He did not refuse anyone¡¯s toast and drank one ss of wine after another.


    ¡°Good for you, Mr. Zhao!¡± a beautiful young woman said, looking at him affectionately.


    Mr. Zhao smiled slightly and then emptied the Lafite in his ss.


    ¡°Wow! Great, Mr. Zhao!¡± The beautiful woman immediately poured another ss of wine for him. He tapped the table slightly to show his thanks using local etiquette.


    By the time the banquet ended, many people were drunk as they headed home. The beautiful woman wanted to send Mr. Zhao home, but Mr. Zhao pointed to a car with the hazard lights on and said with a smile that his girlfriend was waiting for him.


    The beautiful woman whispered in his ear. ¡°Everybody knows that you¡¯re just using your secretary as an excuse to prevent me from showing my love to you. I don¡¯t believe that I can¡¯t conquer you!¡±


    Mr. Zhao grabbed her by the arm slightly and said in a low voice, ¡°Little girl, remember my advice. You shouldn¡¯t trust any businessman.¡±


    The pretty woman turned her head to the side as she took Mr. Zhao¡¯s arm, wiggling her slender waist while walking toward the Land Rover. She tapped the window and said, ¡°Hey, Shu Xiaoman! I just might challenge you for the position of general manager¡¯s secretary in the future. Be careful!¡±


    Shu Xiaoman rolled down the window and answered with a sweet smile. ¡°At least nine other women have said this to me before.¡± With that, she got out and helped Mr. Zhao onto the car. She then immediately started the car, causing the exhaust to blow on the beautiful woman. Seeing the girl¡¯s appearance through the rearview mirror, Shu Xiaoman smiled happily.


    ¡°You¡¯re so naughty,¡± Mr. Zhao said with a smile.


    ¡°She is only a general manager assistant of Chen Wanxin, but she seems to think highly of herself!¡± Shu Xiaomanughed. ¡°Zhao Yuan, you¡¯re so popr among the girls of universities and officedies, but you have never even looked at them carefully. What¡¯s more, you always use me as an excuse to get rid of them.¡± Shu Xiaomanined.


    ¡°Pressure is also motivation. I¡¯m building up a standard for your future husband.¡± Zhao Yuan rxed a little with a slight smile. His curved lips looked so charming.


    He had felt bored during the dinner when he had to sit among people and pretend to be serious as a leader.


    ¡°Fine. Zhao Yuan, where are you going? Back to your home?¡±


    ¡°No. I¡¯m going to thepany.¡±


    ¡°Sir, it¡¯s already one o¡¯clock in the morning! You should pay attention to your health. What are you striving so hard for?¡±


    ¡°Several orders were suspended. It is said that Mr. Chen, the new general manager of BC Company, is a little bit special. I have to check the orders and find a way to get them executed,¡± Zhao Yuan said with a slight frown.


    Shu Xiaoman was stunned. She braked hard and almost hit the rear of the car ahead.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Zhao Yuan asked with concern.


    ¡°Nothing. You reeked of alcohol and I felt dizzy. Since Mr. Chen is a man, it will be easier for me to deal with him.¡± Shu Xiaoman pinched her own hand hard, but the pain in her heart was more intense than the pain of digging nails into her flesh. The pain had not disappeared in the past six years.


    By then, Lin Wenxi had been gone for three years without any trace.


    Zhao Yuan, now Mr. Zhao, had searched for him everywhere frantically. When Zhao Yuan was only a junior student at university, he had found a venture capitalpany to invest in his business. He then established his ownpany. With a unique vision of entrepreneurship, good taste on material selection, employee self-management model, and data-orientated service model, hispany¡¯s performance grew exponentially and thepany quickly turned into a unicorn. Then the A round and B round investments came to him one by one. Even though he was only 23 years old at that point, he had already be the best in his industry.


    However, in addition to his studies and work, whenever he found any clue about Lin Wenxi, Zhao Yuan would go and look for him no matter the distance. Unfortunately, he returned disappointed every time.


    Zhao Yuan once cried bitterly¡ªwhen he found Yun Che and Zhu Ziping.


    Shu Xiaoman knew how heartbroken he was at that time. After all, that was the only clue for him.


    Yun Che and Zhu Ziping had just returned from the Everest Base Camp. Because Zhu Ziping had not sufficiently prepared for climbing mount Everest, she had gotten frostbite. Her parents were so worried that they decided to visit her by train. Zhu Ziping did not want to let her elderly parents travel far, so after staying in the hospital for a few days, she had driven back to the small city with Yun Che. It was only when she got back that she found out what had happened to Lin Wenxi.


    The two of them had gone to Ziyun Piano Store that they had transferred to Lin Wenxi only to find a girl named Hong Yan running the store.


    Hong Yan said Lin Wenxi asionally got in touch, but only through IP telephone from abroad. She had checked the IP address and found it had been modified. She had also asked a hacker to trace it, but he could not find anything. When Lin Wenxi had handed over the piano store to her, he had mailed the Letter of Entrustment and all other necessary agreements. Unfortunately, she could not find any trace from the postal address, because there was no sender¡¯s address on the envelope. If the letter could not arrive at the destination, it would not be sent back to the sender but discarded instead.


    Lin Wenxi only told her that on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar every year, someone would go to the piano store to fetch letters sent by Yun Che and Zhu Ziping.


    On the seventh day of July for two consecutive years, a well-dressed Filipino who spoke Chinese poorly hade to the store and respectfully handed the Letter of Entrustment from Lin Wenxi to Hong Yan, but the signature on the letter was ¡®Chen Yuanxi.¡¯


    It was now the third year since then. Chinese Valentine¡¯s Day wasing again soon.


    Shu Xiaoman remembered that Zhao Yuan, now Mr. Zhao who was the general manager of apany with more than two hundred employees, had crouched down before the steps and smoked all night. He threw two cigarette cases on the ground casually. The cigarette butts littered the ground, as messy as his hair. His shoce was untied and his shoes were dirty, but he was in no mood to care about this.


    However, Zhao Yuan brought a suitcase, which surprised Shu Xiaoman.


    In it were several clean clothes, his passport with visas to many countries like the United States, Singapore, Australia and so on. Aside from these, Zhao Yuan had applied for visas to all countries that did not require a passport to apply for a visa. Shu Xiaoman had helped him to get the visas in person. She thought Zhao Yuan had applied for so many visas for business purposes. However, Zhao Yuan had begun to make preparation to go abroad when he heard that someone would go to the piano store to fetch the letters. Since then, Shu Xiaoman realized that she had not really known what Zhao Yuan wanted.


    ¡°Is he nning to follow the Filipino servant abroad?¡± Shu Xiaoman wondered.


    The Filipino arrived as scheduled. He took the letters but did not talk to anyone.


    Zhao Yuan rushed over and threw a punch at the Filipino. However, the Filipino seemed to have some fighting experience and would not give in easily. Zhao Yuan had put a lot of time and effort into creating thepany, but he had never stopped practicing freestyle fighting, so he was very vigorous and his movements were swift. After a while, the Filipino was knocked down with his suit torn.


    Several people surrounded the Filipino who did not say anything. They had no idea what to do.


    To Shu Xiaoman¡¯s surprise, Zhao Yuan spoke to the Filipino continuously in fluent English. Finally, thetter answered several words in English. Based on how he spoke, Zhao Yuan could tell that he must have lived in the U.S. for many years. Shu Xiaoman only knew that Zhao Yuan had been abroad many times, but she had never thought that in order to find Lin Wenxi, Zhao Yuan had practiced his English so well.


    Zhao Yuan let the Filipino go but followed him secretly. However, the Filipino was very cunning. He frequently got in and out different cars. Finally, it was Zheng Kai who called Zhao Yuan and told him that the Filipino had already arrived at the train station instead of the airport as everyone had expected. Zhao Yuan had already foreseen that something might happen in the process of tracing the Filipino, so he had called Zheng Kai the night before. Zheng Kai was the team leader of the security guards in Chen Wanxin¡¯s BCpany at that time. Hearing the news, he waited at the train station in the early morning. The Filipino was trying to get rid of Zhao Yuan and the others, but he had not thought that someone else was tracking him as well.


    In order to avoid attention, Yun Che and Zhu Ziping were asked to stay in the small city. Zhao Yuan, Zheng Kai, and Shu Xiaoman got into different carriages. As they had expected, the cunning Filipino got off the train halfway, went to a city in the north, and then flew to New York in the US from there. Zheng Kai and Shu Xiaoman could not go abroad at the moment. Zhao Yuan took his trunk with him and immediately bought a first-ss ticket. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was the scruffiest guest in the first-ss cabin.


    Both Shu Xiaoman and Zheng Kai were worried about something when they saw Zhao Yuan off. Shu Xiaoman remembered that there were many things in thepany waiting for Zhao Yuan¡¯s attention, including the appointment he had made with the VCs a long time ago. They had nned to discuss the C round of financing with Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan had never beente for business meetings, but this time, he did not only break one but many appointments. As the only general manager¡¯s assistant, Shu Xiaoman had to make arrangements to postpone the roadshow. She drafted a brief n ording to Zhao Yuan¡¯s way of thinking and discussed with several deputy general mangers, trying tofort and reassure the picky VCs for Zhao Yuan.


    A few dayster, Zhao Yuan returned to G City, looking even more down and out. He did not sleep off the jetg, but took a icy water bath. After freshening up, he headed for thepany. Apart from Zhao Yuan himself, Shu Xiaoman was the only one who had his apartment¡¯s key. Since Zhao Yuan often worked at home, she could only watch the icy fog spread from the bathroom. For Zhao Yuan, the hot summer seemed to have turned into cold winter.


    The roadshow was very sessful. All the VCs were deeply attracted by Zhao Yuan¡¯s foresight, and a lot of investments and many invitations came to him.


    But Shu Xiaoman had no idea what had happened to Zhao Yuan when he was in the US.


    Zhao Yuan followed the Filipino and arrived in New York. Later, he saw thetter ask a deliveryman to send the letters he had fetched from Ziyun Piano Store to another ce. Zhao Yuan knocked down the deliveryman easily. He checked the mailing address and found that the letters were going to be sent to the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, but the recipient was neither Lin Wenxi nor Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi is there!¡± Zhao Yuan¡¯s heart beat fast. However, he was soon arrested by the police for beating up the deliveryman. Zhao Yuan had used almost all his methods but still could not get the police to release him. He had to stay in jail for several days. As soon as he was released, he immediately left for California.


    He managed to find the recipient and kept seeking him out to talk. However, that person seemed to find something wrong, so he reported Zhao Yuan for illegally staying in the country. Zhao Yuan¡¯s passport showed that he could only stay in the United States for seven days. After an investigation, he got deported to China and returned to G City.


    Because he had a record of being repatriated, Zhao Yuan was not allowed to go back to the US for a year. A yearter, he set foot in the United States again.


    However, that person at the California Institute of Technology had graduated, and nobody knew his whereabouts. Therefore, Zhao Yuan¡¯s only clue was broken.


    Blooming roses could be found everywhere in the USA. The red color was a symbol of passion and romance in this country. However, Zhao Yuan only felt like his heart was filled with withered petals that he could not sweep from his heart.

 Chapter 181 (I’m Going to Marry Zhao Yuan) After a Lot of Scheming, Zhao Yuan Will Marry Chen Wanxin

    <h4>Chapter 181 (I¡¯m Going to Marry Zhao Yuan) After a Lot of Scheming, Zhao Yuan Will Marry Chen Wanxin</h4>


    Zhao Yuan did not know who Mr. Chen was, but he thought it might be Lin Wenxi. However, based on the photo, he could tell that Mr. Chen was already about forty years old. Even if Lin Wenxi had had stic surgery, he would not look like this. Shu Xiaoman, however, knew that this Mr. Chen was only the acting deputy general manager of BC Company whose surname happened to be Chen. The real general manager, Mr. Chen, had just returned to China, and it would be some time before he took the position.


    She knew this because Chen Wanxin hade to her a few days ago.


    ¡°It¡¯s time for you to give up. Am I right?¡± Chen Wanxin said with a smile, grabbing her hand affectionately.


    ¡°Yes. You should be satisfied!¡±


    ¡°What makes you think so? As my roommate from university, I¡¯m one of the few people in the world who care about you. In any case, I wish you would marry him. I wish Brother Yuan would stop getting involved with him. Otherwise, Brother Yuan will lose everything he has. We¡¯re not students anymore. Brother Yuan¡¯spany is still quite young and has manypetitors, so it is still in danger. Even if you did not care about your future, you should stop them from contacting with each other for the sake of your ssmates.¡± Chen Wanxin¡¯s eyes shed coldly, causing Shu Xiaoman to shudder.


    Shu Xiaoman did not answer. Whether Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi contacted each other or not, they only had each other in their hearts.


    ¡°Among our college ssmates, An¡¯an has be the star of tomorrow. It¡¯s said Nannan and Wang Zhengjuan live in Shanghai. They are lucky they finally got together. Wang Xiang is the only one that confused me. And you! You have quietly worked for Zhao Yuan for six years, and you have waited for Chen Yuanxi for six years. To be frank, I wish you would wait until he changes his mind,¡± Chen Wanxin said, as if she cared about Shu Xiaoman deeply.


    Shu Xiaoman knew that not everything Chen Wanxin had said was true. However, in such a mixed andpetitive city, she had almost never heard a word of sincerity. What Chen Wanxin had said made her feel like she had seen a streak of green in the corner of the big city in the cold winter.


    She remembered her ssmates.


    Ever since graduating from university, Chen Wanxin had be an important leader in her family business. After several years, she was promoted to be the general manager running the listedpany with several long-term partners. She led afortable life now. In the past four years, herpany was cooperating more and more closely with YH, thepany Shu Xiaoman worked for. Zhou Nannan and Wang Zhengjuan always showed their love in the WeChat moments, and it was unnecessary to worry about their rtionship. Shu Xiaoman had seen Wang Xiang several times in the cities where Zhang An¡¯an held concerts. She also saw Wang Xiang and Zheng Kai more than one time at food stalls, very drunk. Wang Xiang had be a salesman in apany located near BC Company and traveled around the country looking for customers. Among the college friends, only he had no house, no car and almost no money in the bank. He used up almost all of his money every month, and his physical condition was not that good.


    ¡°Wait? Now I don¡¯t even know who I¡¯m waiting for.¡± Shu Xiaoman took a sip of lemonade and said, ¡°Wanxin, let¡¯sy it out clearly. What do you want me to do?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m going to get married.¡± Chen Wanxin remarked while fiddling with the poinsettia beside the table, causing the petals to shiver gracefully above the blood-red leaves.


    ¡°You¡¯re getting married?¡± Shu Xiaoman was surprised.


    ¡°It seems your boss hasn¡¯t mentioned it to you. Half a year ago, yourpany¡¯s capital chain was broken when yourpany was going to get listed on the new over-the-counter market. All the major shareholders wanted to withdraw their shares. Do you know who injectedrge amounts of capital into thepany?¡± Chen Wanxin asked with a smile.


    Shu Xiaoman suddenly felt that Chen Wanxin¡¯s smile was as annoying as it was six years ago.


    ¡°I know it was yourpany that almost broke ourpany¡¯s capital chain. It was you who asked several people to order our products and give a deposit, then you asked them to cancel all the orders. A Yuan is a smart person, but I don¡¯t know why he fell on this matter.¡± Shu Xiaoman¡¯s face darkened.


    She did not understand what it had to do with Chen Wanxin¡¯s marriage.


    ¡°He has no choice but to marry me! First of all, before he died, his father asked him to marry me. He is a dutiful son, so he will follow his father¡¯s will and marry me. Second, only I can help him and hispany. Third, he can only find the person who killed his father after marrying me! Aren¡¯t these reasons enough? He has been apart from Chen Yuanxi for six years, and he doesn¡¯t know what he looks like now! Chen Yuanxi is totally different from what he used to be,¡± Chen Wanxin said.


    But Chen Wanxin was only half right.


    Zhao Yuan had paid a lot of under-the-table money for the long-term cooperation with the Chens, but he had made a record every time. Now he had bribed the deputy general manager of the Chens who was in charge of the business in south China, and had the goods on many members of the Chens. When the Chens get into trouble one day, he was confident that he could put all the Chens¡¯ members into jail while keeping himself safe. However, what Zhao Yuan wanted was far more than this. He wanted to get closer to the Chens and get involved in more important businesses, then he would be able to obtain the evidence of their insider trading. When the time was right, he would expose all the skeletons in the Chens¡¯ closet. Even if he could not uproot the whole family, he would shake their foundation.


    With the foundation shaken, the position of the newly promoted secretary of the Chens would be precarious. Of course, this was a long way off, but if he could find a way, he might reach his goal soon.


    Fortunately, Chen Wanxin would never know what Uncle Hong Xuan had told him before leaving the boy¡¯s dormitory.


    The opportunity to infiltrate the Chens wasing soon.


    Zhao Yuan had figured out the big bosses¡¯ real intentions soon after they came to him. He happened to need an opportunity to get closer to the Chens, so he took the opportunity to make himself a natural son-inw of Chen Tianjiao.


    He figured all the Chens¡¯ rtives and friends would show up at his wedding ceremony, and that person he had been waiting for woulde back.


    He did not believe that Lin Wenxi had returned the Chens simply to find his origin, and he believed that he would meet Lin Wenxi again someday.


    That time when he was in deep pain, Zhang An¡¯an quietly sat with him on the campus yground tofort him. Eventually, he told Zhang An¡¯an what had happened to him and Lin Wenxi. They calmed down, thought it over and things seemed to get clearer. He was more certain that Lin Wenxi had returned to the Chens because of something to do with his father, Lin Ziwei¡¯s death.


    This became the only reason that had sustained Zhao Yuan to wait for Lin Wenxi until now.


    After separating from Lin Wenxi at the Buddha¡¯s Voice Temple, Zhao Yuan was very confused. When he told his troubles to Zhang An¡¯an, he understood that he and Lin Wenxi could not be a carefree couple before he avenged his father. Lin Wenxi must have seen through it and known that he would always have revenge on his mind. Only when theirmon enemy, the Chens, was destroyed could they be together happily.


    ¡°Why are you telling me this?¡± Shu Xiaoman asked.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want anyone to interfere with my wedding ceremony, and that includes Chen Yuanxi! He will be appointed as the deputy manager of BC Company soon after returning to China. Whenever Zhao Yuan had business matters to discuss with me, he had always asked you and the deputy general manager of yourpany to meet me because he didn¡¯t want to see me. If he finds out that the new deputy general manager is Chen Yuanxi, I don¡¯t know what he will do. You know better than I do what he has done for Chen Yuanxi,¡± Chen Wanxin said. ¡°If you can help me hide the news, I will do everything possible to create opportunities for you to stay with Chen Yuanxi. After all, I¡¯m the general manager. He has to follow my instructions at work and for external contacts after returning,¡± Chen Wanxin continued.


    ¡°But Wenxi is your younger brother. How can I hide the news of your wedding from him?¡± Shu Xiaoman asked.


    ¡°I will arrange for him to return to the United States. You don¡¯t need to worry about that.¡± Chen Wanxin looked down.


    ¡°Why should I help you? I still remember what you did before,¡± Shu Xiaoman said with a smile.


    ¡°Things are different now. We have never been enemies. You were so naive that you wanted Chen Yuanxi and A Yuan to be together. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have done those to you. Now, we have the same goal. We each take what we want. That¡¯s all,¡± Chen Wanxin said coldly.


    ¡°What if I still want them to be together?¡± Shu Xiaoman asked tentatively.


    ¡°If you were still a college student, I believe you would think this way. Now you are the only general manager¡¯s assistant of yourpany, and Zhao Yuan gave you many shares, so if any rumors about him and Chen Yuanxi spread and what had happened between them was made known to the public, what will happen to yourpany? The scandal would be enough to bring thepany down. Even if you do not think about yourself, you should consider Zhao Yuan! In the past six years, ever since Zhao Yuan began to create hispany, you have been working for him. I think maybe because you couldn¡¯t stay with Chen Yuanxi, you wanted to stay with the person he missed. Are you still thinking that you did this because you wanted them to be together? Don¡¯t be naive! You love Chen Yuanxi, so just like me, you don¡¯t want them to be together. Am I right?¡± Chen Wanxin poured half a ss of wine for Shu Xiaoman and continued, ¡°It¡¯s up to you. What¡¯s more, Chen Yuanxi is at home now. If you agree to my request, I will bring you to him right now.¡±


    Shu Xiaoman thought for a while and then nodded with a smile. But she was not quite sure about her feelings for Lin Wenxi.


    She saw a familiar figure in the Mercedes as it slowly came out of the gate. Shu Xiaoman rushed to the car and stopped it. The man inside hesitated for a while before finally opening the door.


    It had been six years!


    Shu Xiaoman was extremely excited as soon as she saw the man¡¯s ck leather shoes and trouser legs. She even had an impulse to rush up and hug him right now. She wanted to look at him carefully to find out what he looked like, and she wanted to hear how he was doing.


    Now she finally had a legitimate reason to talk to this man.


    Lin Wenxi stood not far away from her.


    He was still handsome, but the delicate and graceful air had grown mature and wise. His eyes glistened as if they could see through everything. His chin was no longer chubby but was square. His nose was straight. Even his lips seemed to be eloquent. He had a thick moustache on his lips. As a man of only about twenty-five years old, he was already at the pinnacle of sess.


    The tidy and elegant business suit with a single row of buttons on it, the silk necktie and the gold Rolex watch on his wrist all showed his unusual status. However, he seemed to be the same as all other sessful men. Shu Xiaoman sized him up, trying to find something different about him. He was very strange and polite to her with a faint smile on his face. ¡°Is he really Lin Wenxi?¡± Shu Xiaoman wondered.


    ¡°Wenxi?¡± Shu Xiaoman called his name in a trembling voice.


    ¡°Hi, Xiaoman!¡± He was still frank and confident, but when he called her name, he was not as loving and dependent as before. He did not greet her like an old friend he had not seen for a long time. It seemed he had known what would happen a long time ago¡ªthey would meet each other, and they would just treat each other like strangers.


    ¡°By the way, my surname is Chen, and my given name is Yuanxi.¡± With that, he handed her a business card with a smile.


    Shu Xiaoman felt the business card seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and it was hard for her to carry it. She stared in horror at the hot-stamping name on the business card¡ªChen Yuanxi.

 Chapter 182 (It’s Him!) Several Years Have Passed, and Everything Has Changed

    <h4>Chapter 182 (It¡¯s Him!) Several Years Have Passed, and Everything Has Changed</h4>


    Chen Yuanxi still wore a polite smile on his face.


    Shu Xiaoman cleared her throat and squeezed out a standard business smile. She took the business card from Chen Yuanxi with her hand and gave her business card to him, lowering her head slightly.


    ¡°Oh! You¡¯re from YH Company. You can discuss it with my assistant in detail for orders because he should be clearer about that. If you want to talk to me about something personal¡ª¡± Chen Yuanxi looked at his watch and said, ¡°you have 10 minutes.¡±


    ¡°Mr. Chen, since I¡¯m neither your rtive nor your friend, how can I have anything personal to talk to you about? Please arrange for your assistant to discuss it with me.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi fell into silence for about three seconds before he called someone and gave an order about something. Then he asked the driver to take Shu Xiaoman to the office.


    After hesitating for a short moment, Shu Xiaoman got into the car and sat in the passenger seat.


    Seeing that Chen Yuanxi was about to leave, tears streamed down her face. She wiped the tears from her face gently and tapped the window. ¡°How have you been these years?¡± Shu Xiaoman asked with the mostmon and the most intimate words to greet him, an old friend she had not seen for such a long time.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Chen Yuanxi answered with a smile.


    ¡°Well...¡± Shu Xiaoman nodded and waved goodbye to Chen Yuanxi. She looked so serious, as if she were waving farewell to someone whom she would never see again.


    ¡°They asked us topete with otherpanies for the bid through formal channels,¡± Shu Xiaoman reported to Zhao Yuan on the phone.


    ¡°Oh? It¡¯s unbelievable that theirpany has a down-to-earth new leader!¡± Zhao Yuan asked meaningfully, ¡°What kind person does Mr. Chen seem to be?¡±


    ¡°Just like you saw in the photo. He is the new deputy general manager of theirpany, and his surname happens to be Chen,¡± Shu Xiaoman answered.


    ¡°He¡ª! Emm¡ª¡± Zhao Yuan raised his voice a lot unconsciously.


    Shu Xiaoman shook her head. She had thought that after such a long time, Zhao Yuan¡¯s feelings for Lin Wenxi should have cooled down, but she was wrong. From the time he founded thepany until now, Zhao Yuan had never been so nervous in front of an employee. He was almost incoherent, as he lost his mind and could not stay calm anymore. Shu Xiaoman could not imagine what would happen if he met Lin Wenxi.


    In Shu Xiaoman¡¯s memory, there was only once that Zhao Yuan had lost his mind. It was because of his cell phone that he had used when he was still a college student. The cell phone was missing for no reason during the relocation of hispany. Zhao Yuan immediately ordered to stop the process and rummaged everywhere in thepany until he found the cell phone in a trashcan in the corner. His former assistant was fired because of this, and after that, he employed Shu Xiaoman as his assistant. At the beginning, Shu Xiaoman was confused as to why Zhao Yuan had kept this cell phone for such a long time. It was not until she saw the familiar number when she was paying the phone bill for Zhao Yuan that she vaguely understood everything.


    Zhao Yuan had used this phone number all the time when he was in university. It had been several years since he graduated from university, but he was still paying for the number.


    Shu Xiaoman had secretly checked the cell phone once. Obviously, it had been wiped carefully every once in a while, so the screen was as bright and clean as a new one, apart from a clear scratch on it. Shu Xiaoman remembered that Lin Wenxi had been annoyed because Zhao Yuan answered a phone call and was on it for too long. He then scratched an ¡°L¡± on the screen with a small knife. He said that it would make Zhao Yuan hold him to his ear every time he answered the phone.


    Shu Xiaoman thought it was too childish, but she was very moved. However, in addition to being purely moved, she felt a fire within her, as if she wanted to burn everything out.


    Shu Xiaoman thought that she would read messages of love between Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi on his phone, but to her disappointment, she only found somemon greeting messages between average friends. They were so polite and formal and she could even not understand how they had be so closeter. Shu Xiaoman was a little confused. ¡°Are they really a couple? Who really loves the other one and who doesn¡¯t?¡± she wondered.


    Calls from all the other people in the contacts had been set up to be rejected. Only for one number had the call records and text message records not been changed yet.


    ¡°Mr. Zhao, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Shu Xiaoman asked with concern.


    ¡°I¡¯m okay. You can prepare for the bidding right now,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    ¡°Okay. Mr. Zhao, I met someone today. Guess who,¡± Shu Xiaoman added.


    ¡°It must be Chen Wanxin. Then you will ask me why I didn¡¯t tell you we were getting married, right?¡±


    Shu Xiaoman frowned slightly. Zhao Yuan seemed too smart!


    ¡°Yes. As your first assistant, I think I have the right to know it in advance so that I can arrange the rted issues!¡± Shu Xiaoman said.


    ¡°You¡¯re both my only assistant and my college ssmate, so you know everything about my past. If you still think the same way as years ago, what will your reaction be if you know that I¡¯m going to marry Wanxin?¡± Zhao Yuan asked.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, I¡¯m not that stiff. I know we should put thepany first. Even if you marry Wanxin, I know you are doing it for the good of ourpany. How can I do something bad to you?¡± Shu Xiaoman smiled slightly, pursing her lips.


    ¡°Good! Since you¡¯re on business, I believe you will put personal feelings aside,¡± Zhao Yuan continued.


    Shu Xiaoman admired her boss so much. He was both smart and handsome. His only Achilles¡¯ heel was Lin Wenxi, who had alreadye back from abroad.


    ¡°Mr. Zhao, you know me well.¡± Shu Xiaomanughed loudly. She said, ¡°Let¡¯s get down to business. Mr. Zhao, since Mr. Chen did not want us to take shortcuts, we can only bid through formal channels. But to be frank, we can get these orders by relying on ourpany¡¯spetence. You always do insider business with the Chens. I wonder when you will confess these to me. After all, I¡¯m your closestpanion in work.¡±


    ¡°All the Chens¡¯ members have one thing inmon, that is, if we rely on our ability, we can only cooperate with them one time. On the contrary, if we do insider trading with them, they will give us repeat orders all the time. You can go through the normal formalities. If we can¡¯t win the bid, I will meet Mr. Chen in person,¡± Zhao Yuan said confidently, seeming to have resumed hisposure.


    ¡°It¡¯s unnecessary. I can fix it.¡± Shu Xiaomanughed secretly, covering her mouth with her hand. She knew that Zhao Yuan was a man of his word. If something unexpected happened in the bidding, he would go to meet Lin Wenxi. If that was the case, one of the two would be out of control. That was thest thing she wanted to see.


    At the Chen mansion¡ª


    Chen Wanxin was sitting squarely in the studio and making a copy of a photo of Huang Xiya, which had been taken many years ago.


    ¡°She is so pretty!¡± Chen Wanxin thought with a slight smile. Huang Xiya, Chen Yuanxi¡¯s mother, had been very beautiful when she was young. Her beauty was perfect and pure. No wonder Chen Yuanxi had been so charming and delicate before. His brows and eyes resembled her mother very much. When she began to draw Huang Xiya¡¯s nose, Chen Wanxin frowned slightly. ¡°Why didn¡¯t Lin Wenxi inherit all his mother¡¯s looks? His nose and lips look quite simr to mine, and the same as dad¡¯s!¡± She really wanted to cut off his nose and poke his mouth until it was crooked. While drawing, Chen Wanxin remembered how much she had suffered for the name of ¡°Chen Yuanxi¡±.


    At the beginning, Chen Wanxin thought that Chen Yuanxi¡¯s name was not suitable for a boy. It made people feel that the owner of the name was too gentle and weak. A boy should have a name that would make people feel that this person was generous and calm. She persuaded Chen Tianjiao, saying that his son should follow his father¡¯s decision in changing his name.


    Chen Tianjiao had suggested several names to his son, like Chen Ziting, Chen Ziyuan, Chen Zimo, and so on, but all were declined by Chen Yuanxi. Even though he had not gained a foothold in the Chens, he dared to refuse his father rightfully.


    Chen Wanxin was very depressed about this. Chen Yuanxi joked with her, ¡°Sister, have you heard the story of the old monk and the young monk carrying a woman across the river? It¡¯s not me, but someone else who can¡¯t forget the past. I¡¯m done with the past, so it has nothing to do with me if you still can¡¯t win his heart.¡± Hearing that, Chen Wanxin was so angry that she almost cried.


    Fortunately, Chen Yuanxi had been in the U.S. for almost all of thest six years. He woulde back asionally for business, but only contacted his father and seldom returned home. Therefore, they did not have much time to see each other, and she was not bothered. However, not long after Chen Yuanxi¡¯s return from the U.S., he gained the trust of both the family¡¯s elders and the servants. It threatened Chen Wanxin¡¯s ce in the family. Chen Wanxin often goaded Chen Yuanxi by mentioning Zhao Yuan in front of him, but it did not work. Whenever she called him Brother Yuanxi, she was filled with anger, because the name sounded like thebination of the names ¡°Zhao Yuan¡± and ¡°Lin Wenxi¡±. She could do nothing about it and had to smile to Chen Wenxi in front of people, pretending that they were getting on well with each other. How could Chen Wanxin do nothing after suffering such a dumb loss?


    She had never believed that Chen Yuanxi had nothing to do with Zhao Yuan. She put Zhao Yuan¡¯s photos in his room, on his sleeves, and everywhere she could think of to observe his reaction. To her surprise, Chen Yuanxi was very calm when he saw the photos. Chen Wanxin knew that such children¡¯s tricks might neither shake Chen Yuanxi¡¯s determination nor stop him from quickly taking over their family¡¯s business. ¡°He has put his hands on our family¡¯s business! Dad was out on a business trip...¡± Chen Wanxin thought.


    Chen Yuanxi was hesitating for one thing recently. Because of the needs of a real estate project, there was still a house in the north of the city that needed to be demolished. Only after the house owner agreed to move out could their project go ahead.


    Chen Wanxin and the project leader, Luo Yang, managed to assign this task to Chen Yuanxi.


    If they had faced the same situation before, Luo Yang would have provided some additional conditions. If the house owner still refused them for demolition, they would find an opportunity to trick the owner and his family out of their house and begin to demolish the house forcibly. He had been very familiar with this. Furthermore, the house owners could not find a way to plead their grievances. However, in recent years, the government had put a lot of effort into discipline rectification, especially on the punishment of forced demolition. Therefore, Luo Yang was much more restrained than before. He heard that although Chen Yuanxi had done a good job in the U.S, he did not have any criminal record there. None of their family members could have a clean background. So he would do nothing but just wait and see what Chen Yuanxi would do.


    They did not give any information to Chen Yuanxi about the house owner to be relocated, and they did not assign a helper to him either.


    When Chen Yuanxi was still patientlymunicating with the house owner before the owner would like to open the door for him, he heard the rattle of the bulldozer near him. Luo Yang stood high on the side of the bulldozer and ced one hand on his hip triumphantly, smiling at him. It seemed that Luo Yang had arranged for a demolition crew to follow him, and even the media hade. Once they began to forcibly demolish it, people would only see Chen Yuanxi on camera.


    ¡°I¡¯ll fight you to the death!¡± The person who was in the room rushed out and was about to hit Chen Yuanxi. However, when he got closer to Chen Yuanxi, he suddenly let out a cry in surprise, ¡°It¡¯s you! The evil son of the Lins!¡± Then he grabbed Chen Yuanxi by the cor, his eyes widening with anger.


    Chen Yuanxi looked at him carefully, and found that he was the dean of studies of his university!


    The reporters immediately took this opportunity to take photos.


    Beads of sweat oozed from Chen Yuanxi¡¯s forehead. He sneered inside. ¡°She made a move so fast!¡±


    The bodyguards on both sides were going to beat that man, but were stopped by Chen Yuanxi¡¯s yelling. Chen Yuanxi stretched his arms out and stood firmly in front of them. Although these bodyguards were not familiar with him, they knew that he was Chen Tianjiao¡¯s son, so they did not dare to move on, and they only looked at Luo Yang, awaiting his instruction. All of this was photographed.


    The dean of studies cried bitterly behind him. He ran to his side and shouted, ¡°Director Lin, I¡¯m sorry that I didn¡¯t educate him well!¡±


    Chen Yuanxi¡¯s shoulders shivered slightly. He had not heard someone call his father ¡°Director Lin¡± in a long time. It had been such a long time! Now several years had passed and everything had changed.

 Chapter 183 (It’s You, Zhang Dong!) Out of Control at the Sight of His Enemy

    <h4>Chapter 183 (It¡¯s You, Zhang Dong!) Out of Control at the Sight of His Enemy</h4>


    ¡°Young master, which side are you on?¡± Luo Yang asked, looking at Chen Yuanxi half-smiling.


    ¡°Luo Yang, if you have the guts, you can drive the bulldozer over me. If you dare not do this, shut up now! Don¡¯t let our men take the me for you!¡± Chen Yuanxi said in a harsh voice. Then he helped the dean into the room.


    After an hour, Chen Yuanxi walked out slowly with a contract in his hand. He said, ¡°Luo Yang, leave them a week to move out. If you would like toe back in seven days, I won¡¯t stop you.¡±


    Luo Yang was shocked. He could not believe that the nail-house holder, whom he had spent a long time trying to persuade to move out, signed a contract with Chen Yuanxi after half an hour¡¯s negotiation!


    Luo Yang had always been arrogant, and the householders were either afraid of him or hated him, so at the beginning, they were in a mood of resistance, and they were not patient to read the files. Besides, Luo Yang¡¯s men were aggressive, and they did not have the patience to clearly introduce to the householders the policies that were formal, well-developed, and supported by the government, so both sides reached an impasse. If they had negotiated with the householders patiently and peacefully, they could reach an agreement with them. Now because of this householder, the project had been dyed for a long time.


    Chen Yuanxi knew that the dean had worked for Lin Ziwei before. He was a man of integrity, and he would neverprise. However, he was not an unreasonable and stubborn person. Therefore, after walking into the room, Chen Yuanxi calmed the dean down in the name of Lin Ziwei. He then patiently exined all the policies and the actual arrangement of the relocation to him. He also showed him the rted regtions andws on-site or looked them up for him, and called the rted department to prove that what he said was true. With official documents, goodpensation for demolition, as well as Chen Yuanxi¡¯s modest and patient attitude, soon the whole family of the dean agreed to move.


    ¡°Young master, did you increase thepensation a hundredfold?¡± Luo Yangughed arrogantly. He was so surprised when he took the contract. Although thepensation was good, it was still within the prescribed limits.


    ¡°Since you¡¯re not smart, you should study hard. What I hate the most is those who are more stupid than me, but don¡¯t study as hard as me.¡± Chen Yuanxi sneered.


    Luo Yang was annoyed. ¡°No matter how capable you are, you have to follow Wanxin¡¯s instructions. Don¡¯t forget that you are just an acting deputy general manager!¡±


    ¡°Oh? Really?¡± Chen Yuanxi smiled slightly. Then his face suddenly darkened and he pped Luo Yang in the face. ¡°Luo Yang, tell me if you¡¯re a dog of our Chens?¡± He spoke loudly, and all the bodyguards could hear it clearly.


    ¡°Buddies, since you¡¯re all men, you shouldn¡¯t be led by a dog. You can go back now.¡± With that, Chen Yuanxi grinned at those bodyguards.


    Luo Yang stood in front of Chen Yuanxi awkwardly. No matter how he answered now, he had already been humiliated.


    In the Chens¡¯ domesticpany, aside from daring not to offend his immediate supervisor, Mo Qian, and his equal, Zhang Dong, who was filled with strong killing intent, he did not take any outsiders who worked for the Chens seriously.


    Chen Yuanxi had juste back from abroad and he had not set up his authority among the Chen family¡¯s domestic business yet. ¡°He hasn¡¯t even gained a firm foothold in the family yet, but he already dared to p me! Now Secretary Chen is reluctant to meddle in the Chen family¡¯s business, and he is out for business recently. Even if something happens, like I hurt Chen Yuanxi by ident, Chen Wanxin and her mother will help me keep things under control.¡± He was very confident that he could get help from Chen Wanxin and her mother for such trifles.


    ¡°It¡¯s the right time to make a move!¡± he thought.


    ¡°You all see that I hurt our young master by ident!¡± Luo Yang was extremely angry and he bared his ferocious features. He raised his palm and swung it at Chen Yuanxi with a little hesitation, trying to p him. Chen Yuanxi stood firmly, looking mighty. Luo Yang was scared and he felt his palm a little cold, but driven by alcohol, he still waved his palm hard at Chen Yuanxi.


    Chen Yuanxi saw a figure shing in front of him. Then Luo Yang¡¯s hands were grabbed from behind, and he fell onto the ground before rolling far away.


    ¡°Who? How dare you?¡± Luo Yang managed to stand up awkwardly, cursing. He had already been suppressed by Chen Yuanxi just now, but when he saw the person in front of him, his arrogance died out. Just like a flower that had bloomed in a second, his angry face immediately turned to a smiling one.


    ¡°Mr. Zhang, what are you doing here?¡±


    Chen Yuanxi looked at the man with his back to him. He was tall and strong. His green short-sleeved shirt was tucked into his camouge pants, and his pants were tucked into his hard sport-boots. This was the standard attire for the Chens¡¯ private bodyguards. When he looked carefully, Chen Yuanxi could not help gasping. He would recognize him even if this person had turned to ashes.


    He did not feel pain, and he had neither love nor hate for this man. But he felt like he had swallowed a whole jar of mixed sauce. The smell was so strong that his tears almost streamed down.


    ¡°Zhang Dong!¡± Chen Yuanxi called his name, gritting his teeth.


    ¡°I came toote, Wenxi!¡± Zhang Dong turned and smiled generously.


    At the thought of Zhang Dong¡¯s back in the disgusting video and the miserable death of Zhao Mingjiang, Chen Yuanxi¡¯s eyes zed with hatred.


    Zhang Dong understood how he felt. But even Zhang Dong himself could not exin many things.


    Zhang Dong knew that after six years, he himself was no longer that soldier of integrity. Because his mother was threatened by his step-father, he had be Mo Qian¡¯s stooge. Fortunately, Mo Qian trusted him very much and promoted him quickly. So Zhang Dong became his most capable subordinate.


    ¡°From now on, I, Zhang Dong, will be our young master¡¯s bodyguard. I didn¡¯t expect that the first time I would fight for our young master would be to deal with our own man!¡± Zhang Dong sneered.


    Luo Yang and his men shivered with fear at the indifferent words.


    Zhang Dong was well-known in thepany for his capability. Luo Yang was no match for him, and his men were frightened of him. Luo Yang had punished Zhang Dong before, so he was scared after Zhang Dong got promoted and was even superior to him. In recent years, he had wracked his brains to frame Zhang Dong, but Zhang Dong saw through all his tricks and avoided the crises. After that, Mo Qian and the Chens¡¯ members trusted Zhang Dong more. In the past two years, Luo Yang only cared about his own business and did not mess with Zhang Dong again. And Zhang Dong had forgiven Luo Yang¡¯s past misdeeds. Therefore, there was no conflict between them.


    ¡°I was just joking. Mr. Zhang, don¡¯t take it seriously. Luo Yang smoothed out his clothes, smiling at Zhang Dong. Then he ran away with his men in the blink of an eye. Chen Yuanxi found that Luo Yang¡¯s legs were trembling slightly just now.


    ¡°Get out!¡± Chen Yuanxi roared. He picked up a stick from the flower bed and threw it hard at Zhang Dong, as if he saw the most disgusting thing in the world.


    Zhang Dong widened his eyes, looking at Chen Yuanxi quietly. He gritted his teeth, without uttering a single word, allowing the stick tond on his body.


    ¡°I know even if I told him the truth, it wouldn¡¯t help. Anyway, I have no evidence. He won¡¯t believe me.¡±


    Zhang Dong smiled bitterly.


    Thest time Chen Yuanxi had seen Zhang Dong was in A City. After saving Chen Yuanxi, Zhang Dong told him that it was not him who had killed Zhao Mingjiang. Chen Yuanxi believed him. However, he had never expected that Zhang Dong would have done such a nasty thing. Because of that video, apart from his friends, Chen Yuanxi was looked down upon and abandoned by everyone at university. He felt as if he had suddenly fallen from heaven to hell. Everyone looked at him strangely. Even Zhao Yuan, although he still trusted him after the earthquake, was still a little suspicious, let alone the others. If not because of the video, his father would not have offended so many people in officialdom. If not because of the video, his father... Chen Yuanxi believed that maybe his father was still in despair over him before his death.


    Chen Yuanxi¡¯s hands were injured by the burrs on the wooden stick. His tidy clothes looked a little messy, his leather shoes were covered with dust, and his trouser legs were wrinkled. Now he no longer looked neat and dignified as usual.


    Zhang Dong had heard many people say how resolutely Lin Wenxi behaved and how strictly he ruled his staff. He was serious in speech and manner, and he ran the Chens¡¯ overseas business well. If the domestic business had not been declining in the past few years, he would not have offered toe back to help run the family business. Zhang Dong was surprised that such a person would have lost his mind like this at this point.


    ¡°It has been about seven years!¡± Zhang Dong thought. ¡°Another seven years have passed after we had parted for seven years. Now I¡¯m already 29 years old. In the previous 15 years, we only had two-plus months to be together as friends. In the future, we won¡¯t have such an opportunity again.¡±


    ¡°I will be your bodyguard in the future, so you have many opportunities to beat me.¡± Zhang Dong grabbed the stick firmly and said gently, ¡°Don¡¯t hurt yourself. I heard that you had never show your happiness and anger on your face in so many years. What will you do if the others know your weakness?¡±


    Chen Yuanxi immediately calmed down.


    He had held back his anger and tried to have Zhang Dong go to the U.S. with him, so that he could make everything clear. But Mo Qian tried every means to stop him from doing so. Obviously, he did not trust Zhang Dong. Now he asked Zhang Dong, the most capable bodyguard of the Chens, to protect him, so Chen Yuanxi believed that Zhang Dong must have done many dirty jobs for this family.


    But Chen Yuanxi knew that Chen Tianjiao also thought in the same way.


    In the past years, Chen Tianjiao had taken great care of Chen Yuanxi. He worried that he might be hungry or unhappy to think of the past. He took him all over the U.S., invited the best teacher to give him lectures, created the best employment conditions for him, and stopped every one of the Chens from getting him in trouble.


    In the beginning, Chen Yuanxi thought that he was pretending to care about him, butter, he found out that Chen Tianjiao treated his only son well from his heart.


    Since Luo Yang was so afraid of Zhang Dong, Chen Yuanxi could tell that Zhang Dong would be useful to him. He knew that he should let go of the hatred from years ago and get on well with him. However, although he had experienced a lot and was much more mature than before, he found himself suddenly out of control.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll call the police to arrest you?¡± Chen Yuanxi asked coldly.


    Zhang Dong took off his sunsses, and Chen Yuanxi found there was a slight change in the area from his auricle to the eye and the bridge of his nose. Besides, Zhang Dong always wore sunsses. Therefore, after six years, even he felt that Zhang Dong looked a little strange to him, let alone average people. No wonder Zhang Dong dared to strut up the street.


    ¡°Good for you!¡± Chen Yuanxi smiled. ¡°But you are still not qualified to be my bodyguard!¡±


    ¡°Young master, tell me your criteria,¡± Zhang Dong said confidently. But soon after, he stopped being spontaneous. The person in front of him was not Lin Wenxi from years ago, but his young master, whom he had to protect.


    Chen Yuanxi shook his sleeve and walked away. Zhang Dong followed closely behind him.

 Chapter 205 Being Betrayed, Chen Yuanxi Escaped in the Confusion

    <h4>Chapter 205 Being Betrayed, Chen Yuanxi Escaped in the Confusion</h4>


    Chen Yuanxi only gave Zhang Dong a simple order. ¡°Extort a confession from Luo Yang.¡±


    ¡°Wenxi, I do this on my own initiative. You should remember that all of this has nothing to do with you!¡± Zhang Dong said. Thinking for a moment, he set off immediately after some brief preparations.


    At the same time, somewhere in a small town near Beijing, the long-prepared operation began finally.


    At the beginning of summer, lots of dark clouds hung above the small town. Long bolts of lightning spread all over the sky exaggeratedly, just like the shlight falling on the dying man¡¯s wrinkled face. The city was like a decaying body, and the endless streams of vehicles were the body¡¯s corrupting blood vessels. Standing by the window of his office, Chen Tianjiao smelled death.


    The door opened, and a group of public officials took him out. From that moment on, he would be required to report his problems within a prescribed time, being confined in a small hotel room of this small town.


    However, Chen Tianjiao pleaded not guilty. He knew that as long as he hadn¡¯t admitted his guilt, everything was still possible for him. Through hiswyer, Chen Tianjiao passed on this news to his families, who were already in a mess.


    Thewyer specifically told Chen Yuanxi that his father was now facing a huge crisis and expected him to find a solution.


    Chen Yuanxi looked so anxious that he almost cried out.


    Deng Yifei went to the bedroom to call others for help while Chen Wanxin and Chen Yuanxi sat in the living room, upying themselves with different thoughts.


    ¡°He is only in solitary confinement.¡± Chen Yuanxi thought coldly in his heart. ¡°I should never underestimate Chen Tianjiao¡¯s power. If he is not sent to the procuratorate as soon as possible, he will merely go through a superficial investigation in the confinement.¡±


    Chen Wanxin was very puzzled. At this moment, Mo Qian disappeared without reason, and Luo Yang also disappeared. She remembered that three days ago, Luo Yang was supposed to take her home, but he didn¡¯t show up. Finally, Chen Wanxin had to ask Zheng Kai to bring her home. From then on, she had never received any news from Luo Yang. Immediately after that, her father, Chen Tianjiao, was isted from them! Now, she felt very upset and confused.


    ¡°Sister Wanxin, is it possible that Mo Qian has done something that got our dad into trouble?¡± Chen Yuanxi asked.


    ¡°Ridiculous! Mo Qian has been doing business with our father for decades!¡± Chen Wanxin said.


    ¡°Sister Wanxin, who do you trust more, Zheng Kai or Luo Yang?¡± Chen Yuanxi asked.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°Luo Yang is missing. Mo Qian is missing, too. Then our dad is in trouble. Can you guarantee that you, your mother, and I won¡¯t have any trouble next?¡± Chen Yuanxi said anxiously.


    All of a sudden, Chen Wanxin got his point.


    Before long, Zheng Kai hurriedly rushed to Chen¡¯s home together with a group ofbative security guards. Upon seeing such a scene, those guards who initially stayed in Chen¡¯s were nearly about to take up their weapons and fight with them.


    Although Chen Yuanxi looked extremely anxious, he failed toe up with any solution. Instead, Deng Yifei was bustling around in a hurry, and Chen Yuanxi sent some people to protect her.


    Chen Wanxin fixed her eyes on Chen Yuanxi. However, the longer she stared at him, the stronger the wrong feeling in her heart became. After a long time, she went to the bathroom.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan! Where are you? Yuanxi and I have been trapped at home. Some people may attack us!¡± cried Chen Wanxin. She sounded as if she were about to break into tears.


    Hiding outside the bathroom, Chen Yuanxi could not overhear her, but he could figure it out through reading her expressions. Frowning, Chen Yuanxi thought for a moment. ¡°Sh*t! She caught me!¡±


    Sure enough, Chen Yuanxi¡¯s phone rang immediately, showing the caller ID, Zhao Yuan.


    Hearing the ringing sound, Chen Wanxin slowly walked out of the bathroom while staring at Chen Yuanxi.


    Quickly, Chen Yuanxi carried his phone and went to the bathroom.


    ¡°Who is it? Isn¡¯t that from Zhao Yuan?¡± Chen Wanxin stood in his way and asked with a cold smile, ¡°What are you so afraid of?¡±


    ¡°Brother Yuan and I, we are going to share some words of love. Do I need to ask for your permission first?¡± Wearing a smile, Chen Yuanxi asked.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I am your sister, so I don¡¯t mind.¡± Chen Wanxin smiled back at him.


    ¡°Step aside!¡±


    ¡°No!¡±


    Suddenly, Deng Yifei popped up from her room. Pulling a long face, she watched the brother and sister who were arguing when they faced the imminent disaster.


    Chen Yuanxi didn¡¯t want Chen Wanxin to say something unfavorable. After all, he didn¡¯t want to confront her and her mother at the same time. Thus, he answered the phone, thinking fast to respond appropriately. ¡°Yes, I am safe now. You don¡¯t need toe over.¡±


    Although Chen Yuanxi repeatedly told him not toe, he believed that Zhao Yuan would definitely rush over to him.


    ¡°What is the use of also asking Zhao Yuan to help us with the trouble?¡± ¡°Zheng Kai is enough to protect us,¡± Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.


    ¡°ording to your character, I suppose that you will certainly call your handsome and smart brother Zhao Yuan first when you are in trouble if you take our family as your own. Am I right?¡± Chen Wanxin asked with a cold smile. ¡°You pretend that you don¡¯t know what to do. What a great actor!¡±


    ¡°Sister, do you know the difference between you and me? Since you entered the university, whenever you encounter something, the first thing you do is to ask for help. You didn¡¯t want to take the exams, so you hired someone to take the exams for you. When you were toozy to move, you asked Zheng Kai to bring you the meals. You called Luo Yang to deal with me, but he didn¡¯t make it. After that, you let Mo Qian continue handling me. But do you know me? The first thing I do when I meet problems is to find solutions by myself! Thus, after I returned home from abroad, Ipletely defeated you when we were under the same condition! Thus, I am now trying to figure out a solution. The first thing I do is not to call Zhao Yuan, who is perhaps on a business trip somewhere! Even if we will be in danger, do you want him toe back and join the battle when his suit, tie, and leather shoes are still on him? Zhao Yuan is indeed exceedingly brilliant and brave. But when he faces so many gangsters alone, do you want him to block the attacks with his flesh body for you or me?¡± Chen Yuanxi spoke in a harsh tone and with a stern expression.


    ¡°But you should at least contact Zhang Dong first! Where is Zhang Dong?¡± Chen Wanxin breathed a sigh of relief and asked.


    ¡°Sister Wanxin, I should ask you instead. Since Zhang Dong left yesterday, he never came back again. Isn¡¯t he the person sent by Mo Qian to keep watch on me?¡± Chen Yuanxi red at her.


    Chen Wanxin was a little stunned. ¡°Chen Yuanxi, if Luo Yang or Zhang Dong nned to deal with us, they would have done so a few days ago. They didn¡¯t need to disappear first! Therefore, some people made them disappear. As for who these people are, I could only ask you!¡±


    ¡°Ask me? Miss Wanxin, may I ask you? Who else can harm Mo Qian? Who can do something bad to our dad? If I were determined to scheme to ruin this family, indeed, I would first call Zhao Yuan to be my advisor. Between you and me, who do you think Zhao Yuan would like to offer his help? I let you ask Zheng Kai toe. But who Zheng Kai will save first when we are in danger at the same time? Have you lost your mind? Or is it because you always have a prejudice against me?¡± Chen Yuanxi looked like he was unable to restrain his anger.


    Chen Wanxin gave it a little thought. Looking at Zheng Kai, who was patrolling outside the window, she became speechless, finally. The two of them sat in silence for a while. But then, their phones rang at the same time.


    The two siblings went back to their own bedroom, respectively. But after a while, they went out at the same time.


    Zheng Kai heard the voices of Chen Wanxin and Chen Yuanxi in the room. He quickly went inside to check.


    ¡°Zheng Kai, catch Chen Yuanxi. He wants to ruin my family!¡± Chen Wanxin looked so anxious that she burst into cry.


    ¡°Zheng Kai, catch Wanxin, she wants to destroy me!¡± Chen Yuanxi yelled. It seemed that he was also very anxious.


    Like a crazy tiger, Chen Wanxin had already pounced on Chen Yuanxi to hit him. On the alert, Chen Yuanxi kept his eyes on Zheng Kai. And from time to time, he also looked out of the window.


    Just now, Chen Yuanxi received a call from Zhang Dong. ¡°Yuanxi, wait for me outside. I will pick you up right away.¡±


    ¡°Luo Yang, he ran away!¡± Zhang Dong said, ¡°Let¡¯s talk in detail when we meet!¡±


    ¡°Zheng Kai, are you going to catch him or not?¡± Chen Wanxin yelled at him.


    At this point, Chen Yuanxi pushed Chen Wanxin aside and ran out while shouting, ¡°What a mad woman! She is hardhearted enough to hurt her own brother!¡± Then, he reproached those people outside. ¡°All of you quicklye inside to watch Miss Chen!¡±


    When they faced such a confusing situation, the group of people outside was puzzled on the spot.


    They knew that they could neither attack the brother nor the sister. Thus, all of them turned to look at Zheng Kai in unison.


    ¡°Catch Chen Yuanxi!¡± Deng Yifei suddenly rushed out of the room. ¡°Catch him, the go*mned son!¡±


    Meanwhile, a st of the trumpet came from outside. Chen Yuanxi dashed out all of a sudden. The bunch of the Chen family¡¯s guards followed right after him. However, the group of BCpany¡¯s bodyguards stayed still, looking at Zheng Kai.


    ¡°Zheng Kai! Go ahead, catch him! He wants to murder me! He has already dragged my dad down! Zheng Kai!¡± At this moment, how Chen Wanxin wished that she could have a pair of wings for her to catch this traitor who had lurked in her home for seven years! Chen Wanxin found that the fact was a little hard to swallow. ¡°The whole seven years, this person stayed at home together with me, pretending to be one dear member of my family. Especially, he acted so well to be my father¡¯s filial son. What else is he capable of? Why on earth would he choose to deal with his own biological father? But even if he had found out that our father murdered Zhao Mingjiang, he would never act like this!¡± Chen Wanxin felt scared and greatly frightened.


    Chen Wanxin sobbed pitifully. But Zheng Kai stood still at the same ce.


    Outside the door, Zhang Dong let out a bellow. ¡°Who fu*king dare go against me?!¡±


    Those bodyguards were either Zhang Dong¡¯s subordinates in the Chen family or people who had witnessed Zhang Dong¡¯s power, so how dare theye forward to attack him? Then, under the gaze of everyone, Zhang Dong pulled away together with Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°Pa!¡± Chen Wanxin pped Zheng Kai in the face.


    ¡°Zheng Kai, are you fu*king still a man or not? I am the one who will be ruined! It is me!¡± Chen Wanxin rebuked, crying.


    ¡°I will always be by your side,¡± Zheng Kai said.


    ¡°Get lost!¡± Chen Wanxin desperately pounded Zheng Kai¡¯s chest. ¡°From college to now, you have done nothing to make me happy!¡±


    In silence, Zheng Kai embraced Chen Wanxin in his arms. Not uttering a sound, he just let her hit and me him.


    In a rush, Zhang Dong and Chen Yuanxi went back to their residence. They quickly packed up their clothes and valuables and drove out.


    It seemed that the road before them was endless.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to hand him over to Officer Tan? How could this be?¡± Chen Yuanxi asked.


    ¡°Officer Tan is a traitor! There must be a few traitors in the list given by Uncle Xuan! We were just lucky enough before so that we had nevere across any!¡± Zhang Dong said with a deep voice.


    ¡°That means, when you call others to pick up Luo Yang, Uncle Hong Xuan has already exposed, right?¡± It seemed that Chen Yuanxi was talking to himself. One of his fathers had died, now he couldn¡¯t bear to lose another!


    ¡°Yuanxi... Even if Mo Qian does not want to take Uncle Xuan¡¯s life away, he will imprison him. You have told me that Uncle Xuan gave all the evidence he collected in these years to one person. But who is that person? Now, in this case, I suppose that we can have the chance to find this person,¡± Zhang Dong said.


    But Chen Yuanxi shook his head. ¡°Uncle Hong Xuan did not leave any clues for me to look for this person...¡± Feeling a little exhausted, Chen Yuanxiy on his back. After a long time, he asked Zhang Dong. ¡°There is a photo album at the top of my study... I looked for it just now, but I didn¡¯t find it. Did you bring it with you?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t take that much. I only took two photos of it,¡± Zhang Dong said. His face turned a little pale now.


    Chen Yuanxi looked at him a little nervously.


    ¡°One of the photos is a family photo with you and your parents in it. The other photo is the one shot in Dongchuan,¡± Zhang Dong said with a smile because he saw that Chen Yuanxi¡¯s look rxed a little.


    But the car suddenly stopped.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°Yuanxi, go ahead. Go... as far as you can. I¡¯m sorry...¡± Zhang Dong managed to finish speaking with his trembling voice, and suddenly he copsed to the steering wheel.


    Only at this moment did Chen Yuanxi notice that there was a lot of blood on Zhang Dong¡¯s back, and his ck clothes were soaked in blood. The blood dripped down from his back and had already formed a puddle on the cushion.

 Chapter 185 Chen Wanxin’s Scar: Hold the Wedding Ceremony, and Then Get the Certificate

    <h4>Chapter 185 Chen Wanxin¡¯s Scar: Hold the Wedding Ceremony, and Then Get the Certificate</h4>


    The YH Company.


    Zhao Yuan was lying in the soft seat of the president. The ashtray on the table was filled with a lot of cigarette butts. Subordinates who were here to report their work stood in a row outside the door, but none of them dared to go in to disturb him. Zhao Yuan threw away thest cigarette butt and gave a little whistle. ¡°In any case, I have to meet this person!¡±


    Without informing Xiaoman, he booked a ne ticket and flew directly to the county¡¯s airport.


    As Zhao Yuan was about to get married soon, an idea struck him. So he returned to his former residence in Yangzi County and wandered around the ce. Then, another inexplicable impulse seized him. Immediately, Zhao Yuan rented a car and drove to Tianfu Vige.


    All the houses of the old governmentpound were pulled down to make room for a new row of small western-style buildings. The construction materials for these buildings came from the branch established by the YH Company in the small county. At that time, Zhao Yuan offered a great discount but made only a request: they must not cut down the white por.


    Zhao Yuan sat under the tree in silence for a long time. He thought that he must have been dazzled by looking because the figure got on from the car¡¯s back door seemed so familiar to him! But before he could react, the car pulled away. Zhao Yuan only managed to get the car¡¯s license te number and asked his friends to help him to check it. Finally, he learned that the car owner was a very ordinary householder of the county. However, Zhao Yuan could no longer calm down.


    At his urging, the acting deputy general manager of the BC Company finally agreed to meet him.


    The person who sat opposite Zhao Yuan was a senior executive of the BC Company. Only judging by the appearance, he looked extremely like the person in the photo given by Xiaoman.


    After exchanging a few words with the executive, Zhao Yuan felt that this person¡¯s performance was not in ordance with his tough attitude showed in the contract. When Zhao Yuan was going to continue sounding him out, Chen Wanxin pushed the door open and came in.


    As usual, she greeted him. ¡°President Zhao, why did not you tell me that you got some spare time to visit ourpany?¡±


    By the time the whole office quieted down, Zhao Yuan said with a smile, ¡°I should separate official business from private things. After I finish dealing with this case, I will talk about our wedding with you.¡±


    ¡°We should not show off before the wedding. You know, my father mentioned it before that our situation is quite different now.¡± Chen Wanxin smiled. She took Zhao Yuan¡¯s hand and sat down beside him. ¡°Right, Yuan. Let¡¯s get the marriage certificate first.¡±


    ...


    During off-hours, the employees of BC Company gathered in the corridor. They did not know what had happened. Just now, thunderous arguing sounds broke forth out of the VIP reception room. Or, there was only one voice from the young deputy president Chen Wanxin. After a short time, those employees saw a handsome and well-built guy walking out from the reception room. The president secretary of the BC Company recognized that he was the president of the YH Company, which had always cooperated closely with her Company. He was not a deputy president, but the real president Zhao Yuan. The secretary secretly eximed. ¡°Could it be that President Chen also wanted to court Zhao Yuan but failed?¡± On second thought, the secretary remembered that she had said, ¡°I can get anyone I take a fancy to.¡± She could not help feeling quite regret. Then she thought to herself. ¡°I do not dare to chase the man the president loves.¡± In secret, she was gradually relieved.


    Chen Wanxin was left alone in the office, tears swirling in her eyes.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan just told me that we should hold the wedding ceremony, and then get the marriage certificate.¡±


    ¡°Why did he want to do like that? Did he regret it? But Zhao Yuan has clearly promised to marry me. We have prepared the wedding rings and have also taken wedding photos. Once our wedding is over, I can share the wedding photos into WeChat Moments and also send them to Facebook, just like other girls will do. I clearly know all the things that I expect and has spent many sleepless day and night because of that. Now, the wedding ising soon. But why would Zhao Yuan behave like this?¡±


    Shu Xiaoman swore to God that she did not tell Zhao Yuan any news about Chen Yuanxi. Atst, Chen Wanxin chose to believe her for the moment.


    Then, Chen Wanxin thought of Zhang An¡¯an again. At this moment, who could have enough IQ and EQ to share her worries? Only Zhang An¡¯an, her university roommate, could. After Chen Yuanxi left, Chen Wanxin went to study at Jifu University. But she had been living alone outside the university. Even Zhou Nannan was on the alert against her, let alone Shu Xiaoman. Usually, these young girls were not to Chen Wanxin¡¯s liking. Only An¡¯an could chat with her for a while. The two of them had been getting on for two years, plus Chen Wanxin¡¯s vigorously support to the career of Zhang An¡¯an. So they actually got along pretty well with each other.


    ¡°Even if he suggests that you two will only hold the wedding but not get the marriage certificate, I suppose that you will also agree in the end. After all, you are the active and initiative part in this rtionship. So Zhao Yuan has already got the upper hand, hasn¡¯t he?¡± Zhang An¡¯an said, somewhat wearily. After taking part in a whole day¡¯s activities, she finally managed to get some rest.


    ¡°Now, the divorce rate of men and women is so high. To be honest, I think that A Yuan considered the matter more carefully. You see, A Yuan has no parents and is working hard for his career alone in G City. He does not know how the elders of your family will think about him. When you prepare for the wedding, all of you are going to deal with many chores. The opinions of those elders toward Zhao Yuan will only show at the time. In case something not good happens at that time, both you and he can freely get rid of this rtionship. In this way, the rtionship with Zhao Yuan will not bring you any burden if you are going to get married again. After all, in the present society, having been married before may have little effect on men when they are going to get married again. But it can have a great impact on women, not to mention that you are in such a high status,¡± Zhang An¡¯an said with a smile.


    ¡°In any case, you and A Yuan are not like ordinary couples. There are too many entanglements between you. On the bright side, Zhao Yuan came up with such a suggestion because he wanted to be responsible for you. On the dark side, he is afraid that he will regret it. But if A Yuan doesn¡¯t want to get married, he can make it clear for you! Anyone may get a marriage phobia. I think that you two get a stronger reaction.¡± Zhang An¡¯an exined in detail.


    Suddenly, Chen Wanxin felt much relieved.


    ¡°But what about you? You are almost twenty-six years old. But there is not any sex scandal about you. Don¡¯t tell me that you are still in love with Wang Xiang, who sells the groceries,¡± Chen Wanxin asked.


    ¡°Wang Xiang is selling high-end sensors. I do not know if he will try to make a good showing when he knows that you said he was selling the groceries,¡± Zhang An¡¯an said while smiling gently.


    ¡°Do you anyone that you like in the small city? I can try my best to help you. But if the person is one of the stars or talented musicians, I am afraid that I am unable to help.¡± Chen Wanxin slightly chuckled, once again.


    ¡°Me? The Hongluan Star has never moved for me. Who knows if I am a lesbian? If I like girls, I will be fond of the type of girls like you, who are not merely domineering but lovable and timid.¡± Zhang An¡¯an smiled.


    ¡°If you were a man, I might consider you to be my boyfriend.¡±


    ...


    Soon after they talked on the phone, Shu Xiaoman got a call.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan is getting married. Why hasn¡¯t anyone told such a big thing to us? As his secretary, you must have known this,¡± Zhang An¡¯an asked, burning with a frenzy of rage.


    ¡°President Zhao has always told me that we should keep a low profile, keep a low profile. If he wants to send invitation letters, he must have his arrangements. I have no way to interfere with the ns he made,¡± Shu Xiaoman said.


    ¡°I ask you, is Wenxi back?¡± Zhang An¡¯an asked.


    ¡°No.¡±


    ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you say that you do not know? Why did you immediately say that he is not back? It seems to me that you either have a reliable contact to inform him, or you know it well that he is back. Am I right?¡± Obviously, the tone of Zhang An¡¯an sounded a little exciting. Over these years, she had tried to get the news about Lin Wenxi through many people who had various rtionships with her. Also, Zhang An¡¯an had traveled between the United States and China for several times. However, she found no way to get any news of Lin Wenxi. At least, no matter how well Zhang An¡¯an got along with Chen Wanxin, she never told a single word about Lin Wenxi to Zhang An¡¯an. Chen Wanxin only said that Lin Wenxi went abroad in a hurry and hardly had any connection with her.


    ¡°An¡¯an, you are toxic. I only know that he didn¡¯te back.¡± Shu Xiaoman almostughed in her exasperation.


    ¡°Xiaoman, I should remind you that don¡¯t be a tool of others again!¡± Zhang An¡¯an felt a little anxious.


    ¡°I understood. I can deal with it myself. An¡¯an, do not worry. If you repeatedly say that again, I am going to tell Wang Xiang that your mother began to urge you to get married.¡± Shu Xiaoman made fun of her.


    Finally, Zhang An¡¯an hung up the phone with worry.


    ¡°Why cannot I stop getting myself involved in theseplicated things? Why cannot I just forget this person? Isn¡¯t it good to live a peaceful life?¡±

 Chapter 186 (Zhao Yuan, Don’t Go!) The Wedding Ceremony Was Suspended in the Flute Music

    <h4>Chapter 186 (Zhao Yuan, Don¡¯t Go!) The Wedding Ceremony Was Suspended in the Flute Music</h4>


    Chen Wanxin agreed Zhao Yuan¡¯s requests without much hesitation.


    But it made her feel helpless and her parents very angry that Zhao Yuan had sent the wedding invitations to so many people.


    Things were bing moreplicated. In a new information age, a lot of things that were under control could be made public at any time. Besides, the government strengthened oversight over the collection of betrothal gifts for officials and their spending on various items. Chen Tianjiao and his wife had not expected that the news about their daughter¡¯s marriage spread so quickly half a month before the wedding.


    Everybody knew that the secretary of the small city, Chen Tianjiao¡¯s daughter would get married to a young general manager of a newpany.


    Their wedding photos could be seen on G City and the small city¡¯s local webs. One of them was the daughter of a high-rank official, another one was a young, handsome and capable general manager. Such two people¡¯s wedding immediately rose a hot discussion among people.


    Chen Tianjiao had a hard time to cool down the heat of the topic in the small city. However, in G City, Zhao Yuan had almost gotten everything ready for the listing of hispany by taking advantage of this matter.


    It was not good for the Chens, but Zhao Yuan would get a lot of benefits from it. What annoyed Chen Tianjiao more was that his disobedient daughter even told him that she would hold the wedding ceremony with Zhao Yuan before they got the marriage certificate. Chen Tianjiao could not tell it was Zhao Yuan or Chen Wanxin who hade up with such a bad idea.


    Anyway, the marriage between Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin was finally settled, although the overwhelming news about it died down under Chen Tianjiao¡¯s intervention.


    The wedding ceremony would be held at Jifu University¡¯s military training ground, where Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxi had first met.


    Both Chen Wanxin and Zhao Yuan knew that Jifu University was going to close down. Since the death of Lin Ziwei, the founder of Jifu University, the university had less social connections, and its reputation was not what it used to be. This timest year, the university decided to organize a cross-country hike, but was resisted by many sides. More unfortunately, someone died in the hike. Therefore, in the end, the activity was canceled. Without Lin Ziwei¡¯s support, the university¡¯s reputation took a nose dive, and now it had stopped recruiting students. Sincest year, most students and faculty members had been assigned to study or work in other colleges of the small city.


    Chen Wanxin knew that Jifu University was going to be demolished, and it would be taken over by her family in the real estate business. But who would be mainly responsible for this had not been decided yet.


    Because of this, Zhao Yuan decided to hold their wedding at Jifu University. Chen Yuanxi could not agree more. Chen Tianjiao and his wife did not say anything about it. Later, Zhao Yuan provided his n about the arrangement, host, security and other rtive issues about their wedding, and Chen Wanxin raised no objection. Then they gave the n to Chen Wanxin¡¯s parents. After revising the n ording to Chen Wanxin¡¯s parents¡¯ments, Zhao Yuan began to dispatch people and arrange rtive issues. Everything was undergoing smoothly in order. During this period, Chen Yuanxi was handling business issues in the U.S., and he had not opened the link to the small city¡¯s news for a long time.


    Jifu University. Sunny. Nov 11. Appropriate to marry.


    There were only two red boards on the university¡¯s gate, indicating the wedding notice of two outstanding alumnus of the university. Apart from the photographers who were invited to take photos and videos for the wedding, there was no any media reporter.


    The setting was very simple. The most luxurious decoration was a red carpet, which was spread from Jifu University¡¯s gate to the ce where the military training took ce. The wedding stage covered a range from ss ten¡¯s girls¡¯ military training site to the boys¡¯. The wedding host was a Chens¡¯ rtive.


    They set more than a hundred tables. Among the guests, some were the celebrities of the small city, and some were the bosses, entrepreneurs and VCs Zhao Yuan had known in G City. Thankfully, the other side of the yground had been designed as a temporary parking lot which was filled with red, white and ck cars, like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Rolls-Royce and so on.


    The security was extremely strict. All the university¡¯s gates opened as usual, but the whole yground was fenced in. There were several security guards every ten meters, and a camera every twenty meters. Zheng Kai and his colleagues were sitting behind the stage and watching the cameras.


    There was an interesting incident during the wedding. On the screen, Zheng Kai saw his ssmate, Wang Xiang, who had just returned the small city, riding a bike over slowly. His bike hit the back of an Audi parked outside the school gate. A person who got out of the car happened to be Zhang An¡¯an, who was extremely popr in the small city.


    Zheng Kai closed his eyes with a smile. He could tell what would happen next without thinking about it. Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s assistant would get out of the car to check what happened, and then teach Wang Xiang a lesson taking him as Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s fan. Then Zhang An¡¯an would helplessly ask Wang Xiang to go inside with her, and Wang Xiang would definitely slip away. As long as there was a university ssmates party that Zhang An¡¯an and Wang Xiang attended at the same time, the same things would happen. Zhang An¡¯an had never felt uneasy in the face of Wang Xiang, but Wang Xiang would be nervous at the sight of Zhang An¡¯an, and he would run away as soon as possible. On such asions, his legs seemed to have turned from chicken¡¯s to ostrich¡¯s.


    At this point, Zhao Yuan walked over and gave Zheng Kai a ss of wine. ¡°Buddy, I¡¯m sorry!¡±


    ¡°You didn¡¯t take away my daughter. You should say sorry to her father,¡± Zheng Kai said. He shook his hand and continued, ¡°I won¡¯t drink it.¡±


    ¡°Buddy, thank you for protecting Wanxin for so long!¡± Zhao Yuan changed his toast.


    Zheng Kai gulped down the wine and said, ¡°It¡¯s unnecessary to say that much. Take good care of her!¡±


    ...


    The wedding was undergoing. The beautiful, sweet bride was waiting for the host to announce that the bride and groom would exchange rings and kiss each other. Next, the rtives and friends of the two sides would deliver speeches and then she would kneel on the floor to serve tea to her parents and Zhao Yuan¡¯s aunt and uncle. After that, the ceremony would be over.


    Chen Wanxin still remembered the moment she had attended the wedding for the first time. It was on Yun Che and Zhu Ziping¡¯s wedding. Wearing a gauzy dress, she looked as beautiful as the bride. Although the wedding dress on her now was even not the same luxurious and beautiful as the bridesmaid¡¯s veil she had worn, but she felt that it was her most beautiful moment in her life.


    Now her years of longing had finallye true! Thinking of Chen Yuanxi, who was still in the US, Chen Wanxin could not help but smile slightly.


    She did not care if Zhao Yuan really loved her, and she did not think it mattered. She just wanted to have a baby with Zhao Yuan. Then she would hand over all her power and responsibility in thepany to Zhao Yuan, and she would assist her husband and teach their child at home, like an average housewife would do.


    Her lips quivered and her eyes sparkled as she thought that she was about to live the life of her dreams.


    Even Zhao Yuan was a little moved as he looked at her.


    When the solemn wedding march rang out, all the guests, apart from Shu Xiaoman and Zhang An¡¯an, who kept silent all the time, raised their sses, showing their best wishes to this new couple.


    The wedding ring was taken out from the box by a pair of big hands and slowly put on a small hand with the silk glove. The rest would be left to time, and time would tell if they would keep their promises.


    Suddenly, they heard the soothing flute musicing from the distance. The sound came nearer and nearer. The flute yer walked onto the steps while ying the flute.


    The melodious sound of the flute reminded Zhao Yuan of the countryside path in the drizzle, the birch, No. 216 dormitory, the cold police station cell, the lonely volunteer teacher dormitory, the pond full of lotus blossoms, the Dongchuan ruins and the ce where they cried andughed together during military training. Nobody noticed that the wedding music had stopped ying at some point.


    Crazily hugging the groom, the bride raised her head and affectionately kissed the groom on his lips. She wrapped around his neck with her arms, pressing her face against his broad chest.


    But nothing could stop the wedding ring from slipping from the groom¡¯s hand.


    Chen Yuanxi put away his flute and left with a smile. Zhao Yuan strode forward, but Chen Wanxin held him firmly from behind. ¡°Zhao Yuan, don¡¯t go!¡± She pleaded.


    Most guests had no idea what was happening, but there was an uproar among the people who knew Chen Yuanxi.


    Zhao Yuan pushed Wanxin¡¯s hands away. Without any hesitation, he ran after Chen Yuanxi in the direction he had left.

 Chapter 187 (You Didn’t Even Ask Me How I’ve Been All These Years!) Reunion after Six Years

    <h4>Chapter 187 (You Didn¡¯t Even Ask Me How I¡¯ve Been All These Years!) Reunion after Six Years</h4>


    While running forward, Chen Yuanxi was embraced by Zhao Yuan from behind and dragged to the back of the stage.


    Before Zhao Yuan could say something, Zheng Kai grabbed his cor with anger. ¡°Zhao Yuan, You b*stard!¡± He shouted. Zhao Yuan did not say anything but turned his head and looked at Chen Yuanxi. Chen Yuanxi raised his head, looking at Zheng Kai, his eyes as calm as water.


    ¡°F*ck! It¡¯s you, Wenxi!¡± Zheng Kai slowly let go of Zhao Yuan. He looked at Chen Yuanxi with hesitation.


    ¡°My name is Chen Yuanxi.¡± Chen Yuanxi corrected Zheng Kai coldly. He was extremely calm as he looked at Zheng Kai.


    Zheng Kai gave him a hug and shouted, ¡°Cut the crap! Where have you been all these years? You look even more handsome!¡± He then pushed Chen Yuanxi away and gave him a heavy punch. ¡°I¡¯ll deal with youter!¡± With that, he hurried to the stage.


    Everything became quiet. After a short while, Zheng Kai¡¯s voice rang out on the stage, ¡°Everyone, please calm down. Something seemed to have happened to Wanxin¡¯s brother, so Wanxin asked her groom to find her brother just now.¡± The host just came back to himself and he hurried to cooperate with Zhen Kai to exin the reason for the groom¡¯s sudden missing.


    ¡°Wenxi!¡± Zhao Yuan held Chen Yuanxi firmly, pressing his chin against Chen Yuanxi¡¯s shoulder. He did not know what to say, but only wrapped around him tight with his arms, as if as soon as he loosed his arms, the person in front of him would disappear like the wind and would never be found again.


    Chen Yuanxi did not answer.


    ¡°How have you been these years? Are you okay?¡± Zhao Yuan began to choke. He gave Chen Yuanxi a heavy punch, and then touched him gently. He clenched his fists, but did not know what to do.


    Chen Yuanxi stood still, like a statue.


    ¡°You finally belong to her, right?¡± After a while, Chen Yuanxi asked.


    ¡°Wenxi, Wanxin and I didn¡¯t apply for the marriage license!¡± Zhao Yuan sobbed and continued, ¡°Wenxi, you¡¯re so cruel! You didn¡¯t even ask me how I¡¯ve been and what I¡¯ve suffered all these years! No... that¡¯s enough. You still care about me, don¡¯t you?¡±


    Chen Yuanxi¡¯s shoulders suddenly drooped.


    He had thought of Zhao Yuan every day and night for the over 3000 days of the past six years, and he had never forgotten how miserable his father looked before death.


    He had thought that the first time he saw Zhao Yuan after his returning to China would be on a business asion. Or maybe Zhao Yuan had gone back to his hometown, Yangzi County. Or maybe Zhao Yuan had be a lecturer of the Jifu University after graduation. Chen Yuanxi had not been eager to find Zhao Yuan after returning, because he was clear why he had left a few years ago.


    However, the other day, he saw Zhao Yuan in dark-color sport suits under a birch when he was at the governmentalpound which would be demolished. That man stood under the lush foliage, looking calm, restrained and mature.


    He could not tell whether they would be enemies or friends.


    Six years had passed, and many things had changed.


    The closer he was to home, the more nervous he became.


    The moment he got a call from Shu Xiaoman that Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin were getting married, he could no longer stay calm. He just wanted to see Zhao Yuan before Zhao Yuan became his brother-inw.


    ¡°Wenxi, say something! It has been six years. Why did you leave me so long time? Why?¡± Zhao Yuan seemed to have lost his mind. He shook Chen Yuanxi¡¯s shoulders crazily.


    ¡°Kiss me.¡± Chen Yuanxi raised his head, looking at Zhao Yuan quietly.


    Zhao yuan was obedient. He kissed Chen Yuanxi passionately, their love lingering between lips and teeth.


    ¡°Hold me tight.¡±


    Zhao Yuan hugged him tight and almost rudely. It nearly choked him. The feeling was so familiar. Zhao Yuan had never been rude to him, and he was gentle even when he kissed him. However, he had always been so aggressive and dominating when he held him in his arms, making him feel that he could not even belong to himself, but only to Zhao Yuan.


    That was enough.


    ¡°Six years ago, you had two choices¡ªforget the hatred and stay away from here with me, or nurse your strength and bide your time. Yuan, you chose thetter, so I couldn¡¯t stay here with you. I want you to be safe from all this. Leave the rest to me, okay?¡± At the moment, Chen Yuanxi suddenly saw Zhang Dong¡¯s figure shing outside. He immediately let go of Zhao Yuan and was about to leave, but Zhao Yuan firmly grabbed him by the hand. They were Like two tangled ivies, and nothing could separate them.


    ¡°Wenxi, I can do everything you want. But promise me that you will talk to me every day, and you will show up in front of me every day! Do you know how I feel? I¡¯m going crazy!¡± Zhao Yuan said in a harsh voice.


    ¡°You¡¯re more like a little girl!¡± Chen Yuanxi chuckled. ¡°You won¡¯t let me down,¡± he said.


    ¡°I will guard you in the nearest ce to you. That¡¯s enough.¡± Zhao Yuan smiled inwardly.


    Just now, a discussion rose among the guests. Although everything was still in order, some media reporters waiting outside the university heard the news and tried every means toe in. Hearing Zheng Kai¡¯s exnation, the guests fell into a moment¡¯s silence. Mo Qian asked Luo Yang to y the wedding photos on loop behind the stage. After that, the guests calmed down.


    Chen Wanxin was filled with anger, but the moment she saw Zheng Kai, her tears welled up. Zheng Kai walked down from the stage and sat next to her. At the same time, he taught his men how to prevent the media reporters froming in, and how to evacuate guests in case of chaos. Apart from this, he did not say anything with a serious look. He did not even talk to Chen Wanxin.


    When the groom strode onto the stage, the crowd roared again.


    ¡°Where is my bride?¡± Zhao Yuan asked loudly on the stage.


    Chen Wanxin raised her head, tears streaming down. Zheng Kai smiled at her all the time. After the beautiful figure hurried to the stage, Zheng Kai felt his heart stop beating for a second. He then turned around and returned to his working position.


    ¡°Your brother questioned me why his sister¡¯s wedding was so simple. I told him that I was not wealthy yet, and when I made a fortune in the future, I would hold a big wedding for his sister. Your brother also told me that his sister¡¯s favorite fruits were cherry and caramb, and she did not like to eat something both sour and spicy. Besides, he said his sister did not like to sleep with a high pillow or too soft mattress.¡± With that, Zhao Yuan walked to Chen Wanxin. He held her tight and kissed her deeply.


    The guests broke into prolonged and continuous apuse.


    Outside the Jifu University...


    ¡°Zhang Dong, what did you see?¡± Chen Yuanxi asked in a low voice.


    ¡°Nothing. But I¡¯m not sure if Luo Yang saw something. I just wanted to remind you,¡± Zhang Dong said with a smile.


    Chen Yuanxi¡¯s heart sunk. ¡°What on earth do you want to do?¡±


    Zhang Dong took out a cell phone and showed him a video shot from a top view angle. In the video, Chen Yuanxi saw what he had just done with Zhao Yuan at the back of the stage.


    ¡°It will be dangerous if you can¡¯t control your feelings,¡± Zhang Dong said with a serious look.


    ¡°How dare you shot the video?¡± Chen Yuanxi could not help but fly into a rage.


    ¡°See whose phone it is!¡± With that, Zhang Dong took out his own cell phone and dialed Luo Yang¡¯s phone number. Then the phone in his hand began to vibrate.


    ¡°You can decide for yourself what to do with this video.¡± Zhang Dong smiled, looking at the distant grounds. Luo Yang had just dressed his wound, and now he was standing there, his face ck and blue. Mo Qian stood by his side, face darkened.


    ¡°What do you want from me?¡± Chen Yuanxi asked.


    ¡°Mo Qian asked me to monitor you and report to him at any time. Mr. Chen asked me to protect you,¡± Zhang Dong answered.


    ¡°Then what are you actually doing?¡± Chen Yuanxi asked slowly.


    ¡°I¡¯m doing what I want to do.¡± Zhang Dong said seriously, ¡°I regard you as Lin Wenxi.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi thought for a while and then took Luo Yang¡¯s cell phone from Zhang Dong. There was neither call record nor short message inside. He only saw the video shot just now in the album, and he had no idea if it had been sent to anyone else.


    Chen Yuanxi suddenly mmed the cell phone onto the ground and crushed it with his foot. Such cell phones had been specially treated, and once the video was deleted, nobody could restore it. However, Chen Yuanxi was still afraid that in case this video was seen by Chen Tianjiao, it would cause another storm.

 Chapter 188 (Which Side Are You on?) Luo Yang Is Confused about Mo Qian’s Decision

    <h4>Chapter 188 (Which Side Are You on?) Luo Yang Is Confused about Mo Qian¡¯s Decision</h4>


    Luo Yang was confused as to why Mo Qian had arranged Zhang Dong, such a dangerous person, to protect Chen Yuanxi. Zhang Dong was somewhat honest, but he followed both Chen Yuanxi and Mo Qian¡¯s orders. Obviously, he was not loyal to Mo Qian.


    ¡°You are doing the same thing. Apart from following my order, you also follow Wanxin¡¯s, don¡¯t you?¡± Mo Qian said slowly, ¡°Wanxin was our only young master before, of course we would have tried our best to protect her. Now Mr. Chen¡¯s son has returned to the Chens. Although he is still weak, he is still our young master, Mr. Chen¡¯s son by blood.¡±


    ¡°Boss Mo, which side are you on?¡± Luo Yang could not help asking.


    He remembered what had happened in the vige six years ago. The only road out of the vige was muddy because of the heavy rain that day. Someone had reported about thendslide hazard.


    Luo Yang had been monitoring the vige for a long time, so he had gotten the news. Under Chen Tianjiao¡¯s instruction, the news was tight sealed. Then Mo Qian and Luo Yang went to the spot in person. They asked the Mo family members to make arge area of loosend at the intersection more loose, and then blocked the crumbling rocks with a temporarily. After the designing of the Mo family expert, all the weight of the small slope was almost concentrated on the concrete column beside Luo Yang.


    It was a huge project.


    If Lin Ziwei still did not show up and it kept raining, they had to untie the and release the stones earlier. Then they would have to arrange someone to stop Lin Ziwei and kill him on his way. Anyway, even if they died together with Lin Ziwei, they would carry out Chen Tianjiao¡¯s order and kill Lin Ziwei. Otherwise, the Chens and the Mos would be destroyed.


    Thankfully, Lin Ziwei came to the vige to inspect as usual, and only took one subordinate, Hong Xuan, with him ording to the regtion. He had never thought that Chen Tianjiao would have been so ruthless that he even wanted to kill him. After all, if anything bad happened to Lin Ziwei, Chen Tianjiao would also suffer heavy loss if Lin Ziwei¡¯s men tried their best to fight him and make those cases without sufficient evidence real.


    But Lin Ziwei did not want to do this. He was clear how Chen Tianjiao, a man of pure character, had be what he was now. There were times when Chen Tianjiao had gone too far, but Lin Ziwei would rather warn him to his face than destroy him. After all, they used to be best friends, and he had done something that he felt sorry to Chen Tianjiao.


    However, Chen Tianjiao had been trying to get rid of him without leaving a trace all the time.


    When Lin Ziwei and his driver, Hong Xuan, arrived at the intersection, the overwhelming artificial debris flow ran down. Hong Xuan was quick-witted and he quickly rolled the wheel, trying to turn the car sharply in 180¡ã. However, the road was too muddy, causing the car slightly sink before being hit by stones. The moment the car fell into the valley, Hong Xuan kicked the door open and jumped out of it.


    Luo Yang remembered that Hong Xuan had been badly injured and fallen into aa. However, his injuries were serious but not fatal. On the other hand, Lin Ziwei had been carried downstream by the water together with mud and sand after falling into the valley with the car. It was impossible for him to survive.


    Mo Qian asked all the others to leave, and only he and Hong Xuan were left on the spot.


    Later, people found Lin Ziwei¡¯s body, but Hong Xuan was missing for no reason.


    After this, people who had been on the spot that day was given arge sum of money and hid themselves in a foreignnd. After all, the person they had murdered was a deputy secretary who hadplex social rtionships! Later, those people either died secretly or had to leave their homnd and live abroad.


    Only Luo Yang were left and still worked for Mo Qian.


    He remembered how furious Chen Tianjiao was when he had known this, but Mo Qian did not say anything, but only lowered his head.


    Luo Yang also remembered that Mo Qian had taken him to a secluded office and asked him, ¡°Why haven¡¯t you found Hong Xuan?! You must find him. Even if he has died, you should find his body! Understand?¡±


    Luo Yang was a little surprised at that moment. When he was thinking about how to answer, he saw Mo Qian¡¯s hand at the table, where there was a silencer pistol.


    ¡°Boss Mo, we have tried our best and rummaged everywhere, but still couldn¡¯t find him! Maybe he has been dragged to somewhere and eaten by the wild beast,¡± Luo Yang said with a smile. ¡°The forensic found a lot of Hong Xuan¡¯s blood, which was intermittent to the river. Even the policeman thought that it was not possible for Hong Xuan to survive. I think he must have died!¡±


    Hearing that, Mo Qian¡¯s face softened. Luo Yang knew if he had said something wrong just now, he would have been killed. Since then, he became even more cautious.


    Mo Qian had showed mercy to Lin Wenxi many times. When Zhang Dong had gone to A City to save Lin Wenxi, Luo Yang thought he could take this opportunity to avenge himself in the name of thepany¡¯s interest, and maybe he could even kill Zhang Dong, who was not that obedient to Mo Qian. However, Mo Qian did not punish Zhang Dong, and it was said that Zhang Dong had even confronted Mo Qian in the face.


    Another time, they were ordered to kill Lin Wenxi¡¯spanions on his way. For them, it would be easy to get rid of Zheng Kai without leaving a trace. Zheng Kai had always gotten in their ways. However, Mo Qian showed mercy again. Although Mr. Chen had told them not to make unnecessary troubles, Mo Qian had never taken such remarks seriously, and he had ruthlessly killed many people he wouldn¡¯t have killed.


    When Lin Ziwei had been going to investigate their cases, Mo Qian asked his men to shoot a indecent video of Lin Wenxi. They could easily kidnap Lin Wenxi again to threaten Lin Ziwei, and they almost had only one chance to get Lin Wenxi out of the university, but Mo Qian asked them to let Lin Wenxi go to avoid alerting Lin Ziwei.


    Since the two sides almost fought face to face, why did Mo Qian still worry that they might alert Lin Ziwei?


    When Mo Qian had not known that Lin Wenxi was Mr. Chen¡¯s son, he had always shown mercy to him. It might because he was afraid of Hong Xuan and Lin Ziwei. But after Lin Ziwei¡¯s death, he still had an opportunity to deal with Lin Wenxi, but Mo Qian gave it up again. Could that because of Huang Xiya?


    Now Mo Qian had arranged Zhang Dong to protect Chen Yuanxi. Although Zhang Dong had done what he had been asked to do because his parents had been held hostage, he was not that obedient. Who knew what he would do secretly with Chen Yuanxi? Youngdy had never believed that Chen Yuanxi wanted to return to the Chens from his heart, so she had tested him many times, but by now, Chen Yuanxi had not shown any w yet.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to ask Boss Mo what to do next. Since we can¡¯t deal with the young master, at least we should force him back to the US. Otherwise, Wanxin will be suppressed all the time,¡± Luo Yang thought.


    ¡°I¡¯m on my own side. Luo Yang, which side will you be on?¡± Mo Qian asked with a smile.


    ¡°Boss Mo, I¡¯ll be on your side,¡± Luo Yang said in a low voice.


    ¡°That¡¯s it! Wanxin has you to help her and Yuanxi has Zhang Dong. You¡¯re loyal to Wanxin, but Zhang Dong is like a wild horse off the reins. Now both Yuanxi and Zhao Yuan are suspicious about him. In this respect, you and Wanxin have an advantage over them,¡± Mo Qian said meaningfully.


    ¡°But what about you, Boss Mo?¡±


    ¡°My main job is to manage the Mo family. I will neither help our young master, nor our youngdy. I will only work for Mr. Chen.¡± With that, Mo Qian smiled. But his face immediately darkened. ¡°You¡¯re so useless! All of you three graduated from the military school, but every time you met Zhang Dong, you were beaten up and came back disgracefully. When you met Zheng Kaist time, three of your fingers were broken! How can our youngdy believe what you, a good-for-nothing, said?¡±


    ¡°But Boss Mo, obviously, Zhao Yuan is bullying Wanxin. He... What he did with our young master at the back stage...¡± Luo Yang stammered.


    ¡°Do you have any evidence? Without evidence, even I can¡¯t believe you! Tell this to Wanxin yourself! Seeing that the wedding was about over and the guests were waiting for the new couple to toast them, Mo Qian went back to his seat.


    Chen Yuanxi hade back to the wedding. Sitting among the friends and rtives, he was chatting with the Chens¡¯ rtives happily.

 Chapter 189 (What Are You Trying to Pull?) A Debate at the Family Gathering

    <h4>Chapter 189 (What Are You Trying to Pull?) A Debate at the Family Gathering</h4>


    Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin walked over to the friends and family seats and toasted to their parents and the Chen elders.


    Chen Wanxin¡¯s parents managed a smile and took the wine from the new couple, who had not gotten marriage certificates yet. Only very few Chen family members knew Zhao Yuan¡¯s background. Hearing Chen Wanxin¡¯s introduction and seeing Zhao Yuan¡¯s handsome face, they were very satisfied with him. Besides, Zhao Yuan was decent when he spoke. Therefore, most of the Chens spoke highly of him. It made Chen Wanxin extremely happy. Zhao Yuan¡¯s face glowed all over with pleasure. Chen Wanxin looked at him and smiled shyly, lowering her head.


    After a while, they began to toast to their peers. Several beautiful bridesmaids apanied Chen Wanxin and her female ssmates from university and high school. On the other hand, although Zhao Yuan had invited many guests here, he had not arranged for anyone to be his groomsmen. When the guests were trying to keep Zhao Yuan drinking, Zheng Kai and Chen Yuanxi came by in silence.


    Shu Xiaoman stared at Chen Yuanxi quietly, raising her ss in the air. She was so surprised that she could not speak. Zhang An¡¯an pinched her wrist hard and then put the ss close to her lips. ¡°You have tried your best,¡± she said.


    Shu Xiaoman, Zhang An¡¯an, Zhou Nannan, Wang Zhengjuan, and Chen Yuanxi, who had left for six years, raised their sses heavy-heartedly. At the moment, Wang Xiang suddenly said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with our society? Men often marry women they don¡¯t love, and women marry men who don¡¯t really love them. What¡¯s more, they all know it. What¡¯s the point of doing that? Don¡¯t they think it¡¯s boring?¡±


    Chen Yuanxi sneered. He looked Wang Xiang up and down and then at Zhang An¡¯an. Then he clinked sses with them separately.


    ¡°Wenxi, I just want to know if you¡¯re okay these years,¡± Zhang An¡¯an said.


    Chen Yuanxi nodded, then walked to the guests at the next table with Zhao Yuan.


    Chen Wanxin suddenly walked back and poured the wine in her ss onto Wang Xiang¡¯s head. ¡°I didn¡¯t want to invite you here, but Brother Yuan said you were his roommate for four years at university, so you had to attend our wedding. You haven¡¯t changed a bit since we graduated. What about you? Have you figured out who you really like? You¡¯re sitting on the fence. You don¡¯t know which way the fence will fall until it falls. I hope you won¡¯t regret it!¡± With that, she grabbed Zhang An¡¯an by the hand and shook her head. ¡°An¡¯an, he doesn¡¯t deserve you!¡± she whispered in Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s ear.


    ¡°I know many things about Wang Xiang. I¡¯m d that you have never humiliated Wang Xiang and me with these things. But you did this neither for me nor for Wang Xiang,¡± Zhang An¡¯an said with a smile.


    ¡°What?¡± Chen Wanxin was a little confused.


    ¡°Wanxin, Zheng Kai has already had a ce in your heart.¡± Zhang An¡¯an passed another ss of wine to her and continued, ¡°Sometimes, you should stop what you¡¯re doing and talk to yourself. Then you will be clearer about what exactly it is that you want.¡±


    Chen Wanxin looked at Zhang An¡¯an with doubt, but she still emptied the ss.


    ¡°Why are you telling her this?¡± Shu Xiaoman could not help asking.


    ¡°I nted a seed in Wanxin¡¯s heart. I believe it will blossom and yield fruit someday. Perhaps only at that time can people who are destined to be together stay with each other.¡± Zhang An¡¯an looked at Wang Xiang quietly and continued, ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I can¡¯t find the answer for my own business. Maybe Wanxin is right¡ªYou don¡¯t know which way the fence will fall until it falls.¡±


    Shu Xiaoman felt it hard to understand what Zhang An¡¯an said. She was cautious and did not dare to say much. When Chen Wanxin had toasted to her just now, her eyes gleamed with coldness. Shu Xiaoman knew that Chen Wanxin must have figured out that she had informed Lin Wenxi about her wedding, because except for Shu Xiaoman, nobody else present knew Lin Wenxi¡¯s phone number. Shu Xiaoman herself could not tell why she had done this. When she had seen Lin Wenxi, she felt he was strange and distant to her. She thought Lin Wenxi would never be as intimate with her as he used to be, and in his mind, she might even be inferior to An¡¯an.


    Everyone had changed after so many years. Lin Wenxi was no longer the young man who had been as pure as a brook when heughed. He had be elusive, like a deep pool. Shu Xiaoman had worked with Zhao Yuan every day for so many years, so when she had seen his depressed look, she could not help telling Lin Wenxi the news. Maybe she had done this just to make him happy, but she could not tell who the person was¡ªZhao Yuan or Lin Wenxi?


    After the wedding, Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin went back to their apartment. The bedroom was very cold and cheerless. Although Chen Wanxin had been prepared mentally, she was still worried. The next day, Chen Wanxin asked Zhao Yuan to go to the civil affairs bureau with her to get the marriage certificate. However, Zhao Yuan¡¯s registered permanent residence was in G City, and Chen Wanxin¡¯s was in the small city, so they could not decide where to register their marriage for the moment. It led to the reunion of the ¡°whole family¡± after a few busy days.


    Zhao Yuan wanted to register their marriage in this small city, and he could set up a branch here. Besides, Wanxin¡¯spany had gone public. As the main leader of thepany, Wanxin should not leave now.


    Chen Tianjiao and his wife were still hesitating. They wanted Zhao Yuan to stay in G City, thus, their family business would not fall into Zhao Yuan¡¯s hands along with their daughter so soon, but they did not feel assured to have their daughter go to G City. They wouldn¡¯t mind if Zhao Yuan stayed in the small city with them. They believed that after a long time¡¯s observation, they would know whether Zhao Yuan could be trusted. If Zhao Yuan did not know who had killed his father or he was not capable enough or unwillingly to investigate his father¡¯s death, they could hand over their daughter¡¯s business to Zhao Yuan, their son-inw. After all, Zhao Yuan had a unique insight into the market, and he was good at bothpany management and business development. If he could make the Chens clean business more sessful, Chen Tianjiao would enjoy his old age with his wife abroad.


    But when Zhao Yuan offered to stay in the small city, they began to be suspicious and became even more indecisive.


    They wanted to know their daughter¡¯s opinion.


    ¡°I... I will follow Brother Yuan¡¯s decision.¡± Chen Wanxin did not care about anything else now. For her, the most important thing was to hold on to Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Dad, you¡¯d better let my sister go to G City so that she can stay with my brother-inw. How can a new couple live in different cities? If my brother-inw stays here, it will be difficult for him to find someone to take care of his business in G City. If my sister goes to G City with him, I can help her to manage BCpany.¡± Chen Yuanxi spoke with fervor and assurance. He nced at Chen Wanxin, but immediately turned his eyes.


    Chen Wanxin was shocked. She wondered what Chen Yuanxi was thinking. She thought for a short moment and asked, ¡°My brother, do you know ourpany¡¯s next move?¡±


    Chen Yuanxi smiled slightly and answered, ¡°Amercial pedestrian street is needed in the southeast to facilitate nearby residents. It will attract more people to buy apartments there. We can invite investment for the shops on the pedestrian street, thus, we don¡¯t have to pay for the pedestrian street. It will be the best of both worlds.¡±


    Chen Wanxin asked with a smile, ¡°Do you know what we need to do to build the pedestrian street?¡±


    ¡°Demolish... Jifu University.¡± Chen Yuanxi paused before he said any word. However, he did not want to be involved in this matter.


    ¡°Well, I will leave it to you. By the way, Jifu University does not have to be torn down. If the local government arranges an official to appoint the president and a management team for the university, it can recruit students as usual. The president of the university was disheartened and didn¡¯t want to run the university anymore after Secretary Lin¡¯s death, so he has assigned all the students to other colleges.¡± Chen Wanxin chuckled.


    Like facing an abyss, Chen Yuanxi felt a chilling toward him.

 Chapter 190 (The Song of the Nightingale) A Debate at the Family Gathering

    <h4>Chapter 190 (The Song of the Nightingale) A Debate at the Family Gathering</h4>


    Chen Yuanxi hesitated for a while. Since the university had been founded by his adopted father, Lin Ziwei, it was the only immovable property tomemorate him. If he demolished the university, his father¡¯s soul could not rest in another world. With arge area of grasnd and singing birds, the campus¡¯ scenery was beautiful in all seasons. However, it would be ruined soon, and Chen Yuanxi could do nothing about it, but let out a sigh. Since it had been decided, it was useless to argue. Otherwise, the others would be suspicious about him.


    ¡°You¡¯re right. After all, we graduated from Jifu University. Besides, if they run it well and update it to a half state-owned half private university, the nearby buildings within ten kilometers can be taken as school district housing. In the short term, setting up a pedestrian street seems to be the best choice, but in the long term, we may benefit more by keeping the university,¡± Zhao Yuan remarked.


    ¡°Don¡¯t digress. We¡¯re discussing where Wanxin and you will register your marriage,¡± Chen Tianjiao narrowed his eyes and said slowly.


    Chen Yuanxi immediately winked at Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Well, I suggest you not to rush to get your marriage certificate.¡± Chen Yuanxi got several cups of Blue Mountain Coffee from Jamaica ready soon.


    ¡°Yuanxi, dad and mom don¡¯t drink coffee much. The western lifestyle is not popr here. You¡¯d better prepare some green tea for them,¡± Chen Wanxin reminded.


    Chen Tianjiao shook his hand and said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. Let¡¯s get down to business. Yuanxi, go on.¡± Chen Tianjiao interrupted Chen Wanxin and took a sip of coffee. It was so bitter that he frowned, but he still continued to drink it quietly.


    ¡°Sister, acting brother-inw, I may be too blunt, but what I¡¯m thinking is in our family¡¯s interests. We don¡¯t know much about my acting brother-inw¡¯s background, so we need to observe a little bit longer. Otherwise, if hispany goes into debt because of poor management, and as the major shareholder, he can¡¯t find anyone to invest, my sister and I have to pay off his debts with ourpany¡¯s money. Or maybe he will pay the debt on his own, but once their marriage is registered, my sister will be obliged to pay the debt together with him. Therefore, in any case, our Chen family has to pay the debt for him. Although ourpany¡¯s performance is not rising very fast, we have a profit of 15%. I¡¯m nning to expand ourpany into a group one. If a horse steps on a trap while running on a grasnd, it will fall heavily. Do you agree with me, dad?¡± Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.


    ¡°What? Acting brother-inw?¡± Zhao Yuan could not help butugh inwardly.


    ¡°Ourpany? You should make some contribution and officially be the deputy general manager before you call it ¡®ourpany!''¡± Chen Wanxin corrected him angrily.


    Chen Yuanxi only stared at Chen Tianjiao, but said nothing.


    ¡°Since thepany is the Chens¡¯, of course it belongs to you and your brother! What are you arguing for?¡± Chen Tianjiao looked a little annoyed.


    ¡°Tianjiao, we¡¯d better focus on the current issues. As the saying goes, financial matters should be settled clearly even between brothers. Let¡¯s talk about such triflester.¡± Deng Yifei patted Chen Tianjiao on the shoulder.


    ¡°The elder she grows, the more I need to teach her! She is already a listedpany¡¯s general manager!¡± Chen Tianjiao shot a re to his wife.


    ¡°How can you call him ¡®acting brother-inw?¡¯ We have held a wedding ceremony and everyone has known it!¡± Chen Wanxin shouted anxiously and angrily. She did not want to continue this topic anymore.


    ¡°It¡¯s said in the past few years, you, the Chens¡¯ youngdy, used every means, and even with the threat of death, to force dad and mom to agree your marriage with my false brother-inw. Since dad and mom have agreed on your marriage, why didn¡¯t you get your marriage registered? I was shocked when I heard this from dad yesterday. My false brother-inw, can you exin it? It¡¯s you or my sister don¡¯t want to have the certificates?¡± Chen Yuanxi asked, half-smiling.


    ¡°False brother-inw?¡± Zhao Yuan turned his head slightly and sized up Chen Yuanxi. A smile appeared on his lips, and he immediately understood Chen Yuanxi¡¯s intention. He answered, ¡°I made the proposal. We brought forward our wedding for mypany¡¯s financing¡¯s sake. With Wanxin¡¯spany behind me, myst round of financing will be very smooth. We have discussed it. Because I¡¯m not good enough for Wanxin now, I offered not to apply for the marriage certificate for a short time.¡±


    ¡°Sister, even your boyfriend has taken our family¡¯s interests into ount. Why are you so eager to get the certificate?¡± Chen Yuanxi asked with a smile.


    Chen Wanxin instantly understood Chen Yuanxi¡¯s intention. She wished she had a thousand mouths to defend herself. However, what Chen Yuanxi said had stirred up Chen Tianjiao¡¯s resentment against her, and now he was looking at her emotionlessly. Chen Wanxin suddenly flew into a rage. ¡°Boyfriend? You!¡±


    ¡°You ignored our family¡¯s interests for personal reasons! Do you deserve to be the general manager of thispany?¡± Chen Yuanxi continued with a faint smile, ¡°Zhao Yuan, we will hold a family meetingter. You¡¯d better leave us alone for a moment.¡±


    Chen Wanxin suddenly took out a drawing with a smile. In the drawing, a pretty young woman was smiling affectionately. Chen Yuanxi closed his eyes painfully, because the woman in the drawing was his mother, Huang Xiya.


    ¡°Dad, look! I have never met my auntie, but I got a photo of her and copied it recently. She is so beautiful. Her eyes are just like Brother Yuanxi¡¯s. It¡¯s a pity that she has married Lin Ziwei and stayed with him for neen years!¡±


    Chen Tianjiao¡¯s face turned pale. Chen Wanxin was secretly pleased, because it was what she wanted.


    ¡°What do you mean, Chen Wanxin? What makes you call my mother that?¡± Chen Yuanxi was in a rage, looking terrible.


    ¡°Enough! Wanxin, you know well that Xiya¡ªWhy are you still rubbing it in?¡± Chen Tianjiao banged the table and shouted angrily. Chen Wanxin immediately pretended to apologize. Meanwhile, she gave Chen Yuanxi a furtive nce and found he was on the verge of tears. She suddenly felt that it was much more effective to use Huang Xiya to blow Chen Yuanxi than to use Zhao Yuan. After all, Zhao Yuan was still safe and sound, but Huang Xiya¡¯s life was uncertain.


    ¡°Yuanxi, you will be in charge of the demolition of Jifu University!¡± Chen Tianjiao waved Chen Yuanxi and Chen Wanxin away, still angry with Lin Ziwei. ¡°Don¡¯t hurry to register your marriage. Let¡¯s talk about the following issuester!¡±


    Zhao Yuan smiled slightly and answered, ¡°Dad, I will follow your words.¡± He was gentle when he called Chen Tianjiao ¡®dad¡¯ and it made Chen Wanxin a little moved. With a faint smile, Chen Tianjiao said, ¡°You¡¯d better call me ¡®uncle¡¯ now. You can call me ¡®dad¡¯ when yourpany goes public and you have gotten the marriage certificate.¡±


    ¡°Dad!¡± Chen Wanxin was furious and looked at Chen Yuanxi angrily. But soon, she smiled. ¡°You should at least set a deadline for the demolition,¡± she said.


    ¡°Yuanxi, a month!¡± With that, Chen Tianjiao walked to his study.


    As soon as the three of them walked out of the room, Chen Yuanxi pped Chen Wanxin in the face. Without any mental preparation, Chen Wanxin almost fell to the ground.


    ¡°I still remember your name is Lin Wenxi!¡± Chen Wanxin said ferociously and raised her hand. However, before her hand could reach Chen Yuanxi, she got another p in the face. It was so loud that Deng Yifei heard it and rushed out to see what was happening. Chen Tianjiao walked out as well and looked at the siblings.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of being punished by God and struck by lightning?¡± Chen Yuanxi said coldly.


    Chen Wanxin scolded Chen Yuanxi angrily, pointing at him, ¡°You are trying to stop me from marrying Brother Yuan. Why are you doing this?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re trying to marry a man with a questionable origin. Why are you doing this?¡± Chen Yuanxi asked back.


    Deng Yifei shouted at Zhao Yuan, ¡°Zhao Yuan, my daughter was beaten. How can you just stand by and watch?¡±


    Chen Yuanxi¡¯s heart trembled. ¡°Zhao Yuan, I should be med to beat my sister, but you heard what she said just now. You¡¯d better discipline your woman when you¡¯re back!¡± With that, he left, angrily.


    Chen Wanxin looked at Zhao Yuan. She knew it was useless to ask him for help. She had already been grateful that Zhao Yuan had performed well at the wedding, without embarrassing her in front of her family and friends. Besides, he had agreed to get the marriage certificate with her. She knew that Zhao Yuan subconsciously helped Chen Yuanxi when they had been talking just now, but she did not care. After Chen Yuanxi¡¯s departure several years ago, Zhao Yuan almost died. She did not believe that they would restart a rtionship in such a short time. She needed to find a way. There were many problems that needed to be solved.


    Obviously, Zhao Yuan could not continue to live in the Chens¡¯ wedding room, so he left alone and took up residence in a hotel in the small city.


    After Zhao Yuan had left, Chen Tianjiao asked Chen Yuanxi toe back to attend the family meeting.


    Chen Yuanxi had just walked far away in anger, but after receiving his father¡¯s call, he immediately showed up. Chen Wanxin was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She really wanted to rush to him and tear down his smiling face. However, Chen Yuanxi only called her ¡®sister¡¯ with a smile, looking so close to her. Chen Wanxin was even angrier, feeling like her lungs explode.


    Chen Tianjiao got the news from his elder brother that aftering out from their mansion, Chen Yuanxi had vented his anger on Zhang Dong again, who had been avoiding Zhao Yuan, by asking him to clean the rust on the gate. Chen Tianjiao immediately asked Zhang Dong to meet him, and then asked Zhang Dong to go back first. Chen Tianjiao knew that Chen Yuanxi might still be mad at Zhang Dong, but he did not know that after six years, his son, who had been calm and decent, still could not forgive Zhang Dong because of that incident. He had once wanted to ask Mo Qian to exin to Chen Yuanxi on behalf of him, but Mo Qian told him that if hepromised once, he would have toprise more times in the future. However, apart from Zhang Dong, nobody else could protect his son well.


    ¡°Even your younger brother knows what it means not to get the marriage certificate for the moment. Zhao Yuan is a reasonable person as well. But why are you still insisting on this? You¡¯re so eager to marry him, even ignoring our family¡¯s interests!¡± Chen Tianjiao was furious.


    ¡°In the beginning, I didn¡¯t think that much. Considering that A Yuan was nice to me these years, I just wanted to run ourpanies well with him. After all, if we join hands, the twopanies would be stronger than being run separately. A Yuan¡¯spany will soon be able to raise capital, and he has been preparing for thepany to go public. Although it was dyed a little, I have confidence in my husband. A Yuan is already 27, and he is YH Company¡¯s general manager. He is capable enough to handle this. Don¡¯t you think so, Yuanxi?¡± Chen Wanxin asked.


    Chen Tianjiao¡¯s face softened a lot.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan is a sensible and capable person. He must be considering about thepany¡¯s interests, so he decided to postpone the marriage certificate application. He has been reasonable, so he must have his reason for doing so. Sister, if you agree that Zhao Yuan is man of reason, you should take his suggestion into consideration, instead of registering your marriage in a hurry. Am I right? Do you think Zhao Yuan¡¯s concerns are absurd? You have been with him so many years, but I¡¯m only his former roommate. Don¡¯t you know him better than I do?¡± Chen Yuanxi smiled slightly.


    ¡°¡®As man and wife we ever unite, we never doubt our love.¡¯ Of course I will support A Yuan. I won¡¯t care even if hispany fails to go to public, and I would like to share the consequences with him. I trust him because he deserves my trust. That¡¯s why I want to get our marriage certificate earlier. It¡¯s a guarantee for both of us. As an outsider, you can¡¯t understand my feelings for my husband. Dad, mom, I¡¯m sure you will understand how I feel now. After all, you have married for years,¡± Chen Wanxin said.


    Chen Yuanxi was shocked.


    His heart almost stopped beating. He wrote these words on the note he had left to Zhao Yuan. Obviously, Zhao Yuan had kept the note. But when did Chen Wanxin find it?


    ¡°Outsider?¡±


    Chen Yuanxi sneered secretly, but he still looked peaceful and gentle. ¡°The marriage between you and Zhao Yuan is not only an affair about you two, but also about the two families. Since I¡¯m a member of the Chens, I can¡¯t be taken as an outsider, and dad and auntie are not outsiders either. Zhao Yuan didn¡¯t protest when dad decided to postpone your marriage registration. Even he can wait, why are you in such a hurry? Is our whole family not as important as Zhao Yuan, an outsider? I don¡¯t understand why you call me ¡®outsider¡¯. Sister, you should think it over.¡±


    ¡°Chen Yuanxi, you¡¯re still loving Zhao Yuan! Then why did you leave him without hesitation years ago? What were you worried about? You must have been hiding something!¡±


    Chen Wanxin thought. But she did not know what she could do.


    ¡°Dad, mom, I admit I¡¯m too selfish, but I did it because I love A Yuan so much! Mom, you have been treated dad in the same way, haven¡¯t you?¡± Chen Wanxin¡¯s eyes became reddish.


    Hearing that, Deng Yifei was heartbroken. She looked at Chen Tianjiao with tears in her eyes. Chen Tianjiao¡¯s expression softened. He gently patted Chen Wanxin on the back and said with a nod, ¡°Let¡¯s wait for some time. If there¡¯s nothing wrong with Zhao Yuan during this period, you can apply for the certificate with him, okay?¡±


    ¡°Dad, I have returned to the Chens for more than six years. Although my adopted father and you had different political views before, he had raised me for neen years. I don¡¯t know whether Uncle Hong Xuan is still alive. My mother has gone for years with my adopted father¡¯s ashes with her, and I don¡¯t know her whereabouts. Now I don¡¯t have any family members except the Chens. Everything I¡¯m thinking about is out of consideration for our family.¡± With that, Chen Yuanxi¡¯s eyes turned red as well.


    Chen Tianjiao grabbed him by the hand, but did not know what to say.


    ¡°What your brother said makes sense. After all, anything about love is only personal affairs. We know how you love Zhao Yuan, but for our family¡¯s sake, you should be more patient,¡± Chen Tianjiao said sincerely and earnestly.


    Gritting her teeth slightly, Chen Wanxin nodded with a smile, but tears suddenly dreamed down her cheeks. Chen Yuanxi tried for a while, but could not squeeze a drop of tear. He then looked at Chen Tianjiao calmly and said, ¡°Help me to find my mother.¡± With that, tears welled up. Even Deng Yifei was moved.


    Since everything had been decided, Chen Yuanxi held back his impulse to refuse to tear down Jifu University. ncing at Chen Wanxin, he walked back to his room.


    After a short moment, he heard someone knocking at the door. He opened the door and saw Chen Wanxin. ¡°What shall I do to make Zhao Yuan marry me?¡± she asked coldly.


    ¡°This is between the two of you. Why are you asking me?¡± Chen Yuanxi said, as cold as ice. Chen Wanxin found that he had not turned on the light, and his room was dark.


    ¡°You know what I¡¯m talking about!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t try to get what you can¡¯t.¡±


    ¡°I will find a way!¡± Chen Wanxin said with a smile, taking a deep breath.


    ¡°Go ahead, sister! No matter what you will do, I can deal with it.¡±


    With that, he closed the door.


    ¡°You¡¯re just like a nightingale, but I will never believe what a nightingale is singing!¡± Chen Wanxin thought.


    It was said that Chen Yuanxi had never turned on the light in his bedroom, even in the US, and he had only worked in his living room.

 Chapter 191 (Lin Wenxi Is Totally Dead) Jifu University Has Been Demolished

    <h4>Chapter 191 (Lin Wenxi Is Totally Dead) Jifu University Has Been Demolished</h4>


    When Chen Yuanxi had to prepare for the demolition, Chen Wanxin, in the name of her marriage, stopped living in the courtyard of Chens and moved into her own matrimonial house in the small town. And Zhao Yuan had the right reason to stop living with Chen Wanxin.


    Zhao Yuan wanted to stay in the small town. One day, he answered the phone call from Chen Yuanxi.


    Chen Yuanxi said, ¡°It was my meaning to save her face at the wedding, but you got your marriage registered with Wanxin without my permission. Don¡¯t you think I should be angry?¡±


    Zhao Yuan said, ¡°I never n to get the certificate with anyone else. Chen Tianjiao and Deng Yifei reject me, and I only believe that you can understand me.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi said, ¡°So, did you also frame me?¡±


    Zhao Yuancently said, ¡°You can say that our minds think alike.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi said, ¡°You¡¯d better be frank with me when you have any idea next time, or it will cause me to misunderstand. Then I will deal with you like before. Are you afraid of the useful tricks that I only y to deal with you?¡±


    Zhao Yuan continued to say with proud, ¡°If so, I¡¯ll know better that you are still Lin Wenxi.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi said with sincerity and earnest, ¡°Go back to G City, and don¡¯t let Chen Tianjiao and Deng Yifei, as well as Wanxin, suspect you. My phone has been equipped with anti-monitor. You¡¯d better equip your mobile phone as well. In the future, you can call this number directly and say what you want to say.¡±


    ¡°I always feel that our meeting after six years¡¯ separation seems a little unromantic,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    Chen Yuanxi was angry and said, ¡°How do you want to be romantic? Isn¡¯t it vigorous to force me back with a wedding?¡±


    Zhao Yuan said with a broken heart, ¡°At the very least, you haven¡¯t apologize to me formally or told me about your life in America, let alone...¡±


    Chen Yuanxi said, ¡°Anything else?¡±


    Zhao Yuan said, ¡°I remember we have been together. However, since you left, it has been six years that we haven¡¯t...¡±


    ...


    The news that Jifu University would be demolished quickly reached everywhere in the world. Many social elites who graduated from Jifu University expressed their anger by publishing notices or writing articles in the media, or asked agents to negotiate how to protect Jifu University.


    In the General Manager Office, Chen Yuanxi smiled when he looked at the letters, mails, and letters of authorization, which rushed over like a flood, and met the visitors in person.


    Jifu University existed in name only in the past few years. Unexpectedly, it actually ended magnificently. The flowers were bright and would wither and fall one day. What Chen Yuanxi wanted was the fruits in the midsummer and autumn.


    Chen Yuanxi was busy with reception and negotiation all day long. After a few days, he listed everything himself.


    ¡°Why is it so arresting?¡± asked Chen Tianjiao at home.


    Chen Yuanxi said calmly, ¡°I really don¡¯t know.¡± Then he looked at Chen Wanxin thoughtfully.


    Chen Wanxin smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t look at me. The demolition has already been announced in the news. Why is it so arresting? Maybe because someone has intentionally spread it, or because someone¡¯s behaviors are so eye-catching. I also think it¡¯s a pity that it will be demolished.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi snorted coldly and went out of the house as he eavesdropped on their conversations. Sure enough, Chen Tianjiao asked Chen Wanxin about this matter after he left. Chen Yuanxi smiled happily when he heard their conversations. Soon, a mobile phone stored with many lists was entrusted to the bank by Chen Yuanxi.


    On the demolition site, the Deputy CEO of BC Company and other subordinates were all present, only Chen Wanxin was absent. Chen Wanxin was sitting in a high-rise tea cafe a hundred meters away. The scene of demolition was broadcast on the notebook on the table in front of her, and Luo Yang, on the side, raised his telescope from time to time.


    ¡°The news has spread so quickly, as if it has wings. It must be someone¡¯s trick,¡± Luo Yang said uneasily, ¡°I asked Boss Mo for instructions. Boss Mo asked me to keep an eye on Chen Yuanxi, and said nothing else.¡±


    ¡°In a word, we just make sure that the result will not be good for him, and the process is not important. The people you arranged are reliable, aren¡¯t they?¡±


    Luo Yang said, ¡°Yes, they are. But in addition to the ssmates you arranged, there was another one who has been hiding in the corner. I saw him. It was the one who used to behave like a girl and transferred to another school when he was a sophomore.¡±


    ¡°Huh, was it him? Anyway, he is of no use to us,¡± Chen Wanxin thought for a moment and said, ¡°But he will influence Chen Yuanxi. Ask some people to keep an eye on him. When he goes back, find out his specific address.¡±


    Luo Yang nodded, and made a phone call. Then he pointed to there and said, ¡°Here they are.¡±


    To Chen Yuanxi¡¯s surprise, almost all of his ssmates were present, and Zhao Yuan was also there.


    ¡°Xiaoman, I remember that I gave you other orders,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°My boss has left tasks to several vice presidents, and he came here himself to have a good time,¡± Shu Xiaoman said with a smile.


    ¡°OK, sit and enjoy the show,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°What kind of the show?¡± asked Shu Xiaoman.


    ¡°How can the demolition of Jifu University be exined in one sentence? There must be another trouble that appears before the previous one is solved. I wonder what role Zhao Yuan ys in it?¡± asked Zhang An¡¯an.


    Shu Xiaoman said, ¡°You are so leisure! You just sang in the next city for three hoursst night, and now you¡¯re here to see the show in the cold wind.¡±


    Zhang An¡¯an smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯ve been here for four years, not a day. Even if no one would deliberately ask me toe, I also would like toe myself.¡±


    ¡°I heard that Wang Xiang was invited by Wenxi to be the consultant of thepany to analyze the floor structure of the whole school, and to discuss the explosion with a group of experts there,¡± said Shu Xiaoman.


    ¡°I heard that Wenxi was attackedst night,¡± Zhang An¡¯an said with a smile.


    Shu Xiaoman was a little surprised, but Zhao Yuan was shocked. He could not help but want to run to the building. Zhang An¡¯an stopped him and said, ¡°I was joking.¡± Then she looked at Shu Xiaoman, and said with a smile on her face, ¡°Someone seems to have changed his mind.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk to you again.¡± Shu Xiaoman could not help pouting and turned away.


    For a moment, the crowd quieted down.


    Before the demolition of the main building, the students outside had begun to talk about it. Soon, someone raised his horn and shouted, ¡°There must be other ways to deal with it. Does President Chen ignore the founder of this school at all?¡±


    And others immediately echoed.


    At this time, someone came with a banner, which said,


    ¡°A father has raised his son for neen years, and the son is going to kill his father when he is twenty-five.¡±


    Then, more than a dozen teachers of Jifu University, who lived in the dormitories for teaching staff, came out.


    The arrangement of time, ce, character, event, and conflict was perfect! All the reporters present cheered. The demolition had not started, but they had started to write and prepared to release it on the spot. Furthermore, some had taken out their mobile phones and were going to record self-burning of someone if it happened. Maybe their first-hand material would be selected for the local chronicles!


    A group of riot police, fully armed, came out from both sides in good order, and their shields were ced in front of them orderly. Those teachers kept a distance with the police, only keeping shouting.


    Chen Yuanxi smiled coldly and pped his hands. Then more than ten young men in suits appeared, with unknown things in their hands, walked into the crowd, and talked with those protestors. At the same time, Chen Yuanxi ordered to demolish the building, followed by the final confirmation of the ster. After that, only a loud sound was heard in the distance. The main building of Jifu University copsed and was in ruins. Seeing that, Chen Yuanxi felt that his heart suddenly fell into a deepke, struggling and falling.


    In the distance, Chen Wanxin suddenly stood up and snapped, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Luo Yang kept in touch with somebody for a long time and said in a deep voice, ¡°Those arewyers who have signed contracts with these people on behalf of ourpany. Moreover,wyers told them that they could add supplementary agreements in the contract, such as provision of school district housing and endowment insurance, and many other conditions...¡±


    Chen Wanxin¡¯s face turned red and she angrily shouted, ¡°What a kind of mob they are!¡± What she was looking forward to was that many media reported that Chen Yuanxi forcibly demolished his Alma Mater and was in conflict with aborigines.


    ¡°Eldest Miss, Chen Yuanxi informed the riot police, and at the same time found all thewyers who had signed the contracts on behalf of thepany. He works along both lines. Those who are invited to make trouble really have no reason to work hard,¡± said Luo Yang.


    Chen Wanxin turned her back. She remembered that when she was in thepany, Chen Yuanxi smiled and invited her to the Legal Department to help introduce the staff. She could not be in conflict with her brother on the surface, so she asked people of Personnel Department to help him. Presumably, Chen Yuanxi was already nning these things at that time, so that he could smoothly get the information of thewyers who signed the contracts!


    Chen Wanxin¡¯s face was gloomy. Chen Yuanxi would n his next step every time when he did a thing, so that others could not defeat him. To Chen Wanxin¡¯s surprise, Chen Yuanxi really demolished Jifu University. What a cold person he was!


    In fact, Chen Yuanxi was not as powerful as Chen Wanxin thought.


    The main building of Jifu University copsed in the dust, and the setting sun behind the building suddenly appeared, in full view. The strong dusk light was shining on Chen Yuanxi at the moment.


    ¡°Let me be vulnerable once.¡±


    ¡°Fifteen years has gone by, all that remains is this pile of ruins. All has gone! There are no more traces of you in the world...¡±


    ¡°One day in the early autumn of that year, the sun was zing. When I went out, I saw your figure on the window.¡±


    ¡°In that year, I went to the countryside to teach and understood everything you had done.¡±


    ¡°In that year, you grabbed my neck, and was angry with my cowardice! Unexpectedly, that was ourst meeting. You¡¯re dead, and I will have no chance to reconcile with you.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi was wearing a western-style gentleman¡¯s hat and silently lighting a cigarette, with his coat flying in the wind. He lowered his head, and silently tore up all the photos he had left in those two years. The flying scraps of paper were gone.


    If Lin Wenxi did not die, the Chens would never change!


    Today, the previous Lin Wenxi was totally dead...


    ¡°Please bless me and make my road more and more smooth...¡±


    Unconsciously, there was only one picture left in his hand, which was left by Dongchuan.


    Chen Yuanxi looked at it carefully and then put it into his pocket as his hands slightly shook.


    In the video in front of a group of students, how the Jifu University was demolished and copsed was repeatedly shown. In the smoke and dust, everyone¡¯s memories roared away.


    People who had raised his trumpet was still shouting, and suddenly staggered because he was punched by someone.


    Zheng Kai took back his fist and said angrily, ¡°Zhang Liang, it was you who asked someone to take an exam for Wenxi. Then it was you who reported him. Now it¡¯s you who raise a trumpet and be a clown. I drove you out of the bedroom, do you remember? Come to me if you are angry!¡±


    Zhang Liang threw his horn and staggered away.


    Zhao Yuan could not help but give Zheng Kai a thumbs up.


    Zheng Kai said with a smile, ¡°Mr. Zhao, you¡¯re a senior manager now. It¡¯s not convenient for you to do this. Let me do it.¡±


    ¡°There are only ssmates here, no senior manager. Last time when I got married, I didn¡¯t invite you by myself. Tonight, I¡¯ll be the host, and let¡¯s get together!¡± Zhao Yuan smiled and held Zheng Kai¡¯s shoulder.


    The students of ss 10 thought it might take another six years to have a ten-year reunion. Unexpectedly, their Alma Mater had been demolished and Lin Wenxi, their former ssmate, was in charge of the demolition. They all sighed with emotion. All of a sudden, they saw the figure in the ruins suddenly kneeling down.


    Zhao Yuan was about to rush over, but he saw a man running forward quickly and carrying Chen Yuanxi on his back. He was...


    Zhao Yuan did not go. He believed that Chen Yuanxi would make it clear. All he had to do was appease these college ssmates and avoid some unnecessary hate.

 Chapter 192 (I Have Eaten Vermicide!) Zhao Yuan’s and Chen Yuanxi’s Minds Think Alike

    <h4>Chapter 192 (I Have Eaten Vermicide!) Zhao Yuan¡¯s and Chen Yuanxi¡¯s Minds Think Alike</h4>


    Fortunately, the banquet was very lively. Atst, Zhao Yuan invited his wife Chen Wanxin to here to give a brief introduction about the investment n of Jifu University, and warmly weed everyone back here to purchase real estate.


    Although they felt sorry that their Alma Mater had been demolished, they still felt relieved after Chen Wanxin briefly introduced the future investment n of Jifu University. And they were more relieved to know that Chen Yuanxi had not gone his own way in this matter.


    Zhao Yuan would continue to do what a husband should do. He took Chen Wanxin home, appeased her for a moment, and then left. He had more important things to do.


    Zhao Yuan was walking on the empty street. Suddenly, somebody patted him on the shoulder, and Zhao Yuan almost gave the person an overarm throw. He turned his head and saw drunk Zheng Kai, who seldom got drunk.


    Zheng Kai kept thinking about what Zhang An¡¯an said just now, so that he unconsciously asked the taxi driver to go with the newly married couple.


    ¡°I heard that you are leaving BC Company?¡±


    ¡°A¡¯kai, I suggest you stay. Wanxin will need you.¡±


    ¡°They just got married, but live apart in a city. Think about it. I don¡¯t want to see that in the end, your opponent will be a wretched dog who often follows Wanxin.¡±


    Zheng Kai still remembered that Wenxi had said that he should pay attention to the words of An¡¯an.


    But Zheng Kai was at a loss.


    Zhao Yuan helped him and said, ¡°Brother Kai, we are brothers! What can¡¯t I say to you? Wanxin and I do get married! ¡±


    ¡°Bullsh*t! If you really get married, why do you live apart? I¡¯m still awake, don¡¯t lie to me!¡±


    ¡°My father-inw and mother-inw are not allowed us to live together until mypany to be listed.¡± Zhao Yuan patted Zheng Kai on the back and said, ¡°When we graduated, I would like you to work with me, but you insist on secretly participating in that interview without telling Wanxin...¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m track-minded, so that I can only do something mediocre!¡± Zheng Kai smiled helplessly.


    Zhao Yuan asked with a smile, ¡°Because of my family, you sold your admission to school. Now you refuse to ept my money. You want me to owe you forever?¡±


    ¡°That money is for my father. I¡¯ll ask for him when I go back,¡± Zheng Kai said.


    Zhao Yuan and Zheng Kai spoke a lot and sent him to his residence in the small town.


    When he turned and was about to go to Chen Yuanxi¡¯s ce, he saw an unread email on his mobile phone. He clicked it and read it. Then he smiled with satisfaction and replied, ¡°Xiaoman is getting more and more reliable.¡±


    The demolition of Jifu University was really sessful. Not only did the disturbance was prevented, but also the rtionship with the teachers, who used to live in the university, was further coordinated. There were several reasons for the sess. Manywyers had been contacting those teachers and negotiating with them, because Chen Yuanxi had set goals and rewards for everyone. In addition, he had applied to Chen Tianjiao for media support, and made a good rtionship with the media. Several cases that they pacified the relocation householders had been positively reported.


    In a short time, Chen Yuanxi became the formal vice president of BC Company, and specialized in the supervision of external market development, bidding, and demolition. Thergest shareholder of thepany, Mo Qian, who had received various benefits from Chen Tianjiao, signed a contract and reduced the shares he held, which then was upied by Chen Yuanxi.


    Although Chen Wanxin was still the president of BC Company, she could only defeat Chen Yuanxi on the condition that she united with all other shareholders in all of the general meeting of shareholders. In addition, Chen Tianjiao asked people to register a newpany, whose shareholders were Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin, and separated part of BC Company¡¯s business.


    Such a change aroused heated discussion.


    Chen Wanxin had not gotten any notice in advance. And Deng Yifei even talked about it with Chen Tianjiao and wanted to stop him.


    ¡°There are so many branches, and you and your daughter both hold a lot of shares. Now Yuanxi only upies the main position in BC, and are you so worried about that?¡± This was all Deng Yifei got from her husband. Deng Yifei knew that Chen Yuanxi had earned full trust of her husband by destroying the only foundation of his adoptive father with determination.


    Chen Tianjiao stood at Chen Yuanxi¡¯s door, speechless for a long time. That day, his son¡¯s tears almost made his heart soften and almost stopped him from asking Chen Yuanxi to demolish Jifu University. But when he remembered that Lin Ziwei had upied Huang Xiya for neen years, Chen Tianjiao had to be ruthless.


    ¡°In the future, everything of the Chens can be yours.¡±


    The first thing Chen Yuanxi did after he took office was to move to the vi, which was near thepany and Chen Tianjiao bought for him a few years ago. The reason was that the house was close to thepany. The only condition for Chen Tianjiao to agree with him to live alone was that Zhang Dong, the bodyguard, had to live with him and Chen Yuanxi had to promise not to embarrass Zhang Dong again. Chen Yuanxi agreed and smiled at Zhang Dong.


    ¡°Last night, the unpredictable young master punished tired Brother Dong, who had worked for him for a day, by asking him to guard at the door for a whole night. Today, he actually promised so happily in the face of Brother Dong.¡± Several bodyguards looked at the young master suspiciously and murdered in their minds...


    When Chen Yuanxi moved to the new house in a low-key way, Zhao Yuan happened toe back from the north and took the opportunity to help him. After entering the new house, Zhao Yuan inspected the whole room and knocked here and there from time to time.


    ¡°Are you finding where you can hide in the future?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°I want to see if anybody hides a man here who is strong and suitable to be a bodyguard,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    Chen Yuanxi meditated for a second and said, ¡°We¡¯ll soon know whether he is enemy or friend. Don¡¯t make any trouble for me.¡±


    ¡°Do you dare to stay with him if he is an enemy? Do you want me to be quiet in such a situation?¡± Zhao Yuan felt a sharp pain in his lower body as soon as he finished his words, and Chen Yuanxi walked away with his head held high.


    Zhao Yuan seemed to hear the sound of something breaking, then he limped out of Chen Yuanxi¡¯s house and was helped out by Zheng Kai who was confused.


    As soon as they left, Chen Yuanxi threw a rag to sweaty Zhang Dong, who was in the secret room, and asked him to clean the whole house, then he went back to the room in exhaustion to sleep.


    In the morning of the next day, Chen Yuanxi found that all four rooms had been cleaned. The breakfast on the table was his favorite high fiber oatmeal with pure milk. Next to it was a piece of medium well steak. And Zhang Dong was standing at the door without saying a word.


    Chen Yuanxi threw breakfast out of the window and said, ¡°Clean it up for me!¡± After that, he went to the car and was about to start it.


    But Zhang Dong did not clean the room. Instead, he got on the car and sat beside Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°You disobey my order?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi while frowning.


    ¡°My first task is to protect you. The secondary task is to suffer your anger,¡± said Zhang Dong with a smile.


    ¡°Well, will you drive the car?¡±


    ¡°We can¡¯t drive when we are tired.¡±


    Zhang Dongy in the car and slept the whole way. Chen Yuanxi arrived at thepany¡¯s underground garage and was about to leave, leaving Zhang Dong in the car. Suddenly, he was frightened by the rm clock behind him. Zhang Dong woke up and jumped out of the car, saying, ¡°It¡¯s faster than I thought.¡± Then he took out coffee powder, essential balm, and cigarette, which he often used, prepared in the underground garage for a while, and briskly walked into the elevator.


    Then Chen Yuanxi asked him to guard the gate.


    The topic of the meeting was the exploration in the northern market, Inner Mongolia.


    The small town was thousands of miles away from Inner Mongolia, and people with good visions were not very optimistic about the real estate in Inner Mongolia. Besides, the Chens almost knew no one useful in Inner Mongolia.


    All that shareholders said did not help much. As the major shareholder, Chen Yuanxi made the final decision and ignored a lot of objections.


    He had failed again and again. The business team, publicity team, and rtionship team sent to Inner Mongolia all failed. Chen Yuanxi remembered that among the people who had insured for Jifu University at that time, and there was indeed one from Inner Mongolia. But it annoyed him that who he could send to contact that person.


    At this time, Zhao Yuan sent a list. Chen Yuanxi browsed it in safe mode and contacted him.


    ¡°How do you know?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°No matter what, Chen Tianjiao needs to keep a low profile if he wants to demolish Jifu University. And Wanxin wouldn¡¯t let the Chens be trapped in what they were going to do. So it was you who released the news. On the surface, it¡¯s not good for you. After all, your identity is a piece of hot news in the small town, not to mention that you were going to destroy the legacy of your adoptive father. But the letters, solidarity, and agency from all sides you will receive are what you really want. You can find uncle Lin¡¯s previous subordinates from them,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°I remember taking vermicide when I was a child. How can I keep you?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi with a smile.


    ¡°I stayed to build the rear,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Now to business! How can you get in touch with people in Inner Mongolia?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°During this period, I have investigated all the people. There are more than 30 people, some at home and some abroad. I have asked people to investigate them or visited them by myself. Three of them are uncle Lin¡¯s previous subordinates. One is in Inner Mongolia. As for the other two, I don¡¯t know if they want to shake their bad reputation or are arranged by Chen Wanxin. The rest are former students of Jifu University,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    Chen Yuanxi coughed and asked, ¡°Well done. Where did you get your list?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve been in the United States for six years, but learned nothing about high technology. I went in and out of the Chens mansion three times and pasted an inductor on yourptop and the corner of Chen Tianjiao¡¯s study respectively, which was as thin as paper. The one in Chen Tianjiao¡¯s study must be thought as a piece of waste paper by Deng Yifei and have been thrown away by her when she cleaned the room. The one in your room has been posted near the cooler of yourputer. Therefore, everything in yourputer is as transparent as those in Wang Xiang¡¯s folder of the year, ¡°Forever Brother Chun¡±. The password of opening the hidden disk you set is the multiplication of my date of birth and yours. As for opening the folders in the hidden disk, you set two passwords. One is recorded in yourputer in the United States in the form of a document and was found by me when I transferred the file. The other password is 5201314zhaoyuan. I also found out that there once was arge graphic document in yourputer, which has been copied. Where did the copy go? On that day, when you went to the bank, no one followed you. Wenxi, you know, I¡¯m very happy these days... your password...¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll change it to 5201314zhengkai when I go back,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    On hearing his soft voice, Zhao Yuan was happy andughed, ¡°OK, I won¡¯t say much else. I¡¯ve been studying hacker technology for more than six years, and really have learned a lot! If Luo Yang and Wanxin also keep up with the times, and also try to monitor yourputer, or paste a monitor somewhere in your ce, what do you do? Now you can tell me how Zhang Dong became your bodyguard!¡±


    ¡°Chen Tianjiao and Mo Qian sent him to protect me. He listens to two people. I¡¯m not sure whether he is an enemy or a friend,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°So, is the reason why you took so much trouble to contact people in Inner Mongolia protecting his family?¡± asked Zhao Yuan.


    Chen Yuanxi said discontentedly, ¡°Hello, Mr. ascarid.¡±


    ¡°Well, don¡¯t put all your eggs in one basket. Zhang Dong is not worth you doing these things at the risk of being suspected by Chen Tianjiao. Leave it to me!¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Hello, Mr. vinegar.¡± Chen Yuanxi was still dissatisfied.


    ¡°Mr. vinegar hase to your house. You¡¯re noting out to see him?¡± Zhao Yuanughed and said.


    Chen Yuanxi opened the door and there was no one outside. Suddenly, he remembered that Zhao Yuan knew that Zhang Dong was with him. How could he appear? It was clear that he was fooled by Zhao Yuan again. He said angrily to the phone, ¡°You¡¯re still the same. You haven¡¯t changed at all!¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m still your favorite, right?¡± The voice seemed toe from the phone, but also seemed to sound in his ears. Chen Yuanxi was very surprised, and had already been lying in somebody¡¯s warm arms.


    ¡°How can I trust you to stay here alone when you are cheated and go out of the house so easily?¡± The warmth and whispering words in his ear made Chen Yuanxi could not help but lie in Zhao Yuan¡¯s arms and beat him constantly.


    ¡°Ouch, it hurts... Little jerk, I should beat you. After all these years since you left, I finally got you,¡± said Zhao Yuan. Then he took Chen Yuanxi to the house, and was about to take off their clothes.


    ¡°Asshole! Don¡¯t you know Zhang Dong lives with me?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°I saw him go out, so I asked some subordinates in mypany to y a game with him on the way. I think he won¡¯te back so early,¡± said Zhao Yuan. Chen Yuanxi remembered that just now he had been upset and asked Zhang Dong to buy the designated milk tea in a well-known shop in the small town for him. He had not expected Zhao Yuan to stalk them nearby.


    ¡°You... didn¡¯t rush up...¡± Chen Yuanxi could not help but be a little surprised.


    ¡°You and I have two fathers inmon. Since you can choose to keep him by your side, I believe that you have your reasons. I want to ask you, but I believe you,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°You could not defeat Zhang Dong in the past, let alone now! What¡¯s the use of your subordinates?¡± Chen Yuanxi was worried.


    ¡°Don¡¯t make an excuse!¡± Zhao Yuan said as he locked the door. Then he pushed Chen Yuanxi to the bedroom, opened the secret room, and pushed him in.


    ¡°When I moved that day, you were nning for today, right? You¡¯ve found out this secret room, but you said nothing. You¡¯re so scheming!¡± Chen Yuanxi angrily scolded Zhao Yuan, who had already embraced him. ¡°Wenxi, do you know I miss you...¡±


    ¡°I think what you miss is my body,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°Don¡¯t ruin the mood anymore! But anyway, what you said is the truth!¡± Zhao Yuan said as he suddenly held Chen Yuanxi. Then Chen Yuanxi only felt he was lifted in the air, and fell on the soft bed.


    ¡°You violent...¡± Chen Yuanxi was kissed and could say nothing before his words were finished.


    ¡°I¡¯m telling you, Zhao Yuan, if you don¡¯t be gentle...¡±


    ¡°Rx, rx! I haven¡¯t seen and touched you for more than six years! I can finally touch you today!¡±


    ...


    Both of them tidied themselves quickly, like a drowned mouse, and seemed to have be decent gentlemen again. Chen Yuanxi worried that Zhang Dong would return, so he hurried to ask Zhao Yuan to leave, who was unwilling to leave. After Zhao Yuan left, Chen Yuanxi cleaned the room. When he saw the shoes on the ground, he was in a great hurry and dialed Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°You¡¯re wearing the wrong shoes, don¡¯t you know?¡± shouted Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°No, my shoes fit well, but there¡¯s something in my bag. Well, when should I return it? Now, or...¡±


    ¡°Zhao Yuan!!!¡± Once Chen Yuanxi met Zhao Yuan, he would have no idea and lose control.


    At this time, Zhang Dong opened the door and entered, with a ck ss ball in his hand. Then he threw it directly into the sofa.

 Chapter 193 (A Cooperation Agreement Has Been Reached) Chen Yuanxi’s Trip in North Works

    <h4>Chapter 193 (A Cooperation Agreement Has Been Reached) Chen Yuanxi¡¯s Trip in North Works</h4>


    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Chen Yuanxi had recovered hisposure.


    ¡°Are you still acting?¡± Zhang Dong sat down and took out a video yer.


    Chen Yuanxi was horrified to find that it was shown in the video that he and Zhao Yuan were holding each other tightly at the door.


    ¡°Fortunately, this won¡¯t be sent to Mr. Mo in real time. It will be sent half an hourter,¡± said Zhang Dong.


    ¡°Did you install it?¡± Chen Yuanxi could not help asking.


    ¡°Of course,¡± Zhang Dong said with a calm face, ¡°It was hanging in that corner all day. Didn¡¯t you find it? And Zhao Yuan also has be an idiot! You two should work separately. If you work together, both of you will be foolish and can do nothing. ¡±


    ¡°What do you want to do?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    Zhang Dong deleted the video, then he went out and installed the camera again. As he moved thedder, he said, ¡°I felt that something bad would happen when I saw Zhao Yuane in. So as soon as you closed the door, I destroyed the camera. However, you can only have one chance. If it happens again, Mo Qian will definitely send someone else to be your bodyguard. It may be Luo Yang. Do you believe it?¡± said Zhang Dong.


    ¡°Are you threatening me?¡±


    ¡°I dare not. You are the young master of the Chens now, but don¡¯t forget that I¡¯m still your instructor! Today, I¡¯ll teach you something. You have been very careful all the time since you join the Chens, and you should even be cautious about your food which might be poisoned. However, you lose your mind and caution every time when you meet Zhao Yuan! Do you want to destroy all these years¡¯ hard work? Don¡¯t you want you and Zhao Yuan¡¯s father to be vindicated? If you want to, put aside all these private affairs first! Don¡¯t you know who you are facing? Wake up!¡± After that, Zhang Dong pped the table hard.


    Chen Yuanxi¡¯s face was suddenly solemn. If it had not been for Zhang Dong, all this would have been known by Mo Qian, as well as by Chen Tianjiao. Even if he could make thousands of excuses to escapeter, the trust he had gained in the Chens would be greatly reduced, and Zhao Yuan would be regarded as the enemy by the Chens again. Chen Wanxin and Zhao Yuan would divorce, then...


    ¡°What do you want?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°I hope you believe me,¡± said Zhang Dong.


    Chen Yuanxi did not speak any more and went back to his room. Zhang Dong was still lying on the sofa with his clothes.


    Because Chen Yuanxi came in person, a city in Inner Mongolia was willing to ept BC Company¡¯s investment in the city, and to cooperate in the development of scenic spots with distinctive features.


    Chen Yuanxi invited Chen Wanxin, the president, and shareholders, who were interested in the development in Inner Mongolia, to go to Inner Mongolia with him. He also brought Zhang Dong with him. Zhao Yuan, as the representative of the cooperativepany, together with Shu Xiaoman, the secretary, and the senior management of thepany, also made field visits. They came back and forth, and more than half a month passed.


    Chen Wanxin had to admit that the ce Chen Yuanxi chose really had great development potential. The shareholders had reached a preliminary agreement, willing to make the additional investment here.


    After the cooperation agreement was reached, the news that YH Company and BC Company would closely cooperatepletely broke off the news that Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin were not harmonious after getting married. Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin joined hands to attend the conference and cut the ribbon at the opening ceremony of the newly establishedpany in Inner Mongolia, several hands holding together.


    Chen Tianjiao was very satisfied with this. He had been looking on coldly for a long time. He agreed on Chen Wanxin¡¯s and Zhao Yuan¡¯s request for certificate, but the condition was that the YH Company had to be listed. Mo Qian, as a result of capital operation, ounted for most of the shares of the branchpany in Inner Mongolia, and the rest was jointly held by YH Company and BC Company.


    Zhao Yuan had started preparing more than half a year ago, and now what he needed was funds, contracts, financial statements, and other orders, but it was unknown that why his listing n had been dyed. It seemed that it would be postponed to the next year.


    Zhao Yuan was so furious that he dismissed the financial team of thepany. Chen Wanxin wanted to help Zhao Yuan with the financial team from the BC Company, but received Chen Yuanxi¡¯s full suppression and opposition. Zhao Yuan had no choice but to invite a new financial team to manage the financial affairs. The new financial team had just taken over the work, and they had to start the work from the beginning. In this way, the listing n would be postponed again.


    Chen Wanxin asked Zhang An¡¯an, ¡°Zhao Yuan doesn¡¯t love me, does he?¡±


    ¡°You know the answer. For the sake of his father¡¯sst words and the development of thepany, he married with you.¡± Zhang An¡¯an said, ¡°Is your whole life only worth one¡¯sst words? ording to what his father said, if you don¡¯t want to, Zhao Yuan doesn¡¯t have to marry you.¡±


    ¡°But I want to,¡± said Chen Wanxin


    ¡°Wanxin, if I were you, if I really love Zhao Yuan, and Zhao Yuan also loves me, then I would give up all the shares of thepany for him. No matter how my father thinks, I would directly register for marriage with Zhao Yuan, be a full-time wife, and raise my own children. No one can stop me. But you can¡¯t give up so many shares, right? So, in your mind, Zhao Yuan, or that certificate, is not as important as those shares! Why do you have to be so stubborn? Just let go of yourself and others, will you?¡± advised Zhang An¡¯an.


    ¡°In this way, all I have will belong to Chen Yuanxi!¡± said Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°So, your shares take the first ce, thepetition with Yuanxi takes the second ce, and the certificate takes the third ce. Maybe Zhao Yuan takes the fourth ce?¡± said Zhang An¡¯an.


    Chen Wanxin hung up.


    ¡°Zhang An¡¯an is right. Maybe I should be a full-time wife and have my own children!¡±


    At the same time, Zhao Yuan¡¯s investigation in Inner Mongolia had made substantial progress. A clue indicated that Wang Wankun and Rao Yu had been involved.


    ¡°One of the people who guarded Zhang Dong¡¯s parents is Wang Chang, the nephew of Wang Wankun. After being reced, he has been being tracked by the Mo Family. Now his whereabouts are unknown. ording to the investigation, we think that he doesn¡¯t want to work for the Mo Family any longer. Guess who Wang Chang is?¡± said Zhao Yuan mysteriously.


    ¡°Since you asked me to guess, he must be someone I¡¯m familiar with. The one, who I¡¯m familiar with and also is rted to the Chen Family, must be Wang Zhengjuan,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°You¡¯re going bald, Yuanxi.¡± Zhao Yuan said discontentedly.


    ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. Tell me now, what are you going to do?¡±


    ¡°I think Wang Zhengjuan has little to do with this matter. She and Nannan are in Shanghai now. We needn¡¯t disturb them. But I¡¯m afraid that you have to meet Wang Wankun in person. Several years ago, Wang Zhengjuan asked for your help. I believe that her parents must know you. But now we don¡¯t know whether they are friends or not. You have to make them tell us,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Okay. You¡¯ve done a good job, thank you. By the way, you¡¯ve been listening to Chen Wanxin recently. As long as she asks you to apany her, then you go. Don¡¯t you worry that something bad will happen?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi with a smile.


    ¡°I slept on the sofa for more than half a month. If you don¡¯t help me, I might sleep with your rival,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    Chen Yuanxi frowned and said, ¡°Be serious!¡±


    That night, Zhao Yuan received arge box of extremely thick condoms in his room, and his face turned livid.

 Chapter 194 (What Did You Get Me to Drink!) Chen Wanxin Plans to Sleep with Zhao Yuan

    <h4>Chapter 194 (What Did You Get Me to Drink!) Chen Wanxin ns to Sleep with Zhao Yuan</h4>


    The next day, Chen Yuanxi asked Zhao Yuan to prepare some materials for him. Then he inquired about a debt from the financial department, and asked Zhao Yuan to send an email to him, which he then sent to Chen Wanxin. Chen Yuanxi also sent the email to Mo Qian and called him.


    ¡°You want to report Wenxi?¡± Shu Xiaoman asked Zhao Yuan in a loud voice.


    Zhao Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°Keep it down.¡±


    Shu Xiaoman nodded and said, ¡°But...¡±


    ¡°Wenxi has his own reason. You have to make arrangements as soon as possible. You need to leave written proofs for everything. Give them the highest kickback, but don¡¯t say it to Wanxin!¡± said Zhao Yuan. Shu Xiaoman agreed. When she was about to go out, she saw Zhao Yuan leaning against the window and lighting a cigarette.


    She had never found that Zhao Yuan¡¯s side face was so good-looking.


    He had a high profile nose, the perfect face contour, and slightly erect chin, where there always was little stubble. It seemed that he could never clean them. In the room with heating, Zhao Yuan only wore a id shirt of red and white. He was standing there with one hand in the pocket, frowning slightly and looking out of the window at the sky.


    Shu Xiaoman suddenly remembered that when they met the problem of capital chain, Zhao Yuan also leaned against the windowsill of thepany


    She had thought thepany might not survive that time.


    But soon he gave Shu Xiaoman an unexpected result. Shu Xiaoman saw him negotiate in person and go home drunk several times. He drank with people to consolidate the foundation. After drinking, he improved their rtionships by other means. He got drunk several times and exchanged that for several big orders at the end of the year. Then, he persuaded venture capitalists and introduced several investment banking firms, which soon made thepany¡¯s performance better. Internally, Zhao Yuan introduced a new assessment method in time, organizedmunity management, quickly merged peer-to-peerpetitive enterprises, defeatedpetitors one by one in thepetition of shares, and maintained the maximum control over thepany. After the problem of this time, the YH Company not only survived, but also made its performance better.


    Later, Shu Xiaoman thought that Zhao Yuan could have done all this a long time ago, but he had been entangling with the Chens. She even thought if it was rted to Chen Wanxin. But she could not figure it out. She did not dare to explore the secrets in Zhao Yuan¡¯s heart, who was her ssmate and boss. She only could worship him in her heart.


    She saw extraordinary courage and determination in Zhao Yuan.


    In the past, Yuanxi was pure and Zhao Yuan was virtuous in Shu Xiaoman¡¯s mind. But as time passed by, she suddenly felt that her horizon had increased and her mind began to change gradually. Her eyes at Zhao Yuan were different.


    When did it start? She did not know. Maybe, it started since she had the ability to buy a house for her parents and a favorite car for her father, or maybe it started since Zhang An¡¯an said that it seemed that someone had changed his mind that day.


    But the man in front of her had had an unforgettable experience with Lin Wenxi in Dongchuan. They had said goodbye to Jifu University and went to find their own world. He was supposed to leave at that time, but he came back in a loss. Six yearster, he married Wanxin, who he did not love. What was the matter with all this? It seemed that since Wenxi came back, Zhao Yuan seldom left important things to her.


    ¡°Why are you still here?¡± asked Zhao Yuan.


    Shu Xiaoman made a face and went away with a lot of worries. When she went out, she saw Chen Wanxining back in a panic.


    ¡°President Chen, what happened?¡± asked Shu Xiaoman.


    ¡°It¡¯s none of your business!¡± Chen Wanxin said in a cold voice, ¡°Even if you were talking about business, is it necessary to discuss in the bedroom? Don¡¯t you know that Zhao Yuan has got married?¡±


    On hearing Chen Wanxin¡¯s words, Shu Xiaoman blushed. Zhao Yuan used to work at home, and she also had the key to his home, so she did not realize that it was improper now for a moment. She apologized to Chen Wanxin and left in a hurry.


    Chen Wanxin slowly closed the door and smiled.


    After a while, Chen Wanxin looked at Zhao Yuan, who was sleeping in a daze on the bed. Then she lit a box of liquid on the desk, and sniffed the smell gently. Suddenly, her mobile phone rang. She wanted to turn it off, but found that it was Mo Qian who called her. She had to turn around and go out.


    Mo Qian asked her to go to the coach station at once to meet a person, and deal with something.


    ¡°Coach station???¡± Chen Wanxin could not help being confused and crying out. It was as least an hour and a half¡¯s drive from here to the coach station.


    At this point, she had to order the bodyguards around her, and she hurried to leave.


    Shu Xiaoman was scolded by Chen Wanxin just now. Suddenly, she remembered that when Zhao Yuan asked her to sort out the materials in the daytime, he gave the entrance card to her. In order to avoid Chen Wanxin¡¯s further doubts, she called Zhao Yuan immediately and wanted to return it, but Zhao Yuan did not answer the phone, so she had toe back. When she came close to the room, she heard Chen Wanxin¡¯s cry and hurriedly hid herself. When Chen Wanxin left, she came to the door.


    Zhao Yuan did not answer the phone, and there was no response when she knocked on the door. Shu Xiaoman thought for a moment and entered the room with the entrance card.


    When Zhao Yuan woke up, he felt something was wrong. Last night, something must have happened! He saw Chen Wanxinst night, and drank the milk tea she bought, then he felt dizzy. He could vaguely remember what happened next. It seemed that Lin Wenxi had entered his room, and he was gentle and obedient...


    ¡°What did you do?¡± Zhao Yuan harshly asked Chen Wanxin, who was lying beside him.


    ¡°Last night, Mo Qian called me and asked me to pick up someone at the coach station in person! However, after waiting for more than two hours, I saw nobody! It was more than six o¡¯clock in the morning when I came back. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can ask Mo Qian and my bodyguards!¡± Chen Wanxin said wrongly. She secretly felicitated that when she came back in the morning, the smell in the room had gone away. She hurriedly threw the milk tea on the table and the fragrant box in the bedroom, then came to the bed and tightly hugged Zhao Yuan, who was sleeping. However, no matter how she called and touched Zhao Yuan, he had no reaction at all.


    ¡°What did you give me to drink?¡± Zhao Yuan asked again.


    ¡°Ah Yuan, are you crazy?¡± Chen Wanxin sat up and covered her body.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t I sleep on the sofa? Why am I in bed now?¡±


    ¡°You suddenly said you were sleepy, and then came to the bed. How do I know? What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± asked Chen Wanxin with concern.


    Zhao Yuan got up at once, took on his clothes in a daze, and called the police.


    After the criminal police arrived, they interrogated some people and checked the video. However, the monitors near the door of Zhao Yuan¡¯s room were all ruined. Zhao Yuan could not help patting his forehead. He remembered that these monitors had been deliberately damaged by himself shortly after he moved in.


    Then Zhao Yuan applied for a medical examination. But the police refused to file a case after taking the testimony. Zhao Yuan was in a hurry, and was about to go to the hospital. Chen Wanxin hurriedly followed him. But Zhao Yuan suddenly waved and pushed Chen Wanxin.


    Chen Wanxin was in a hurry. She saw Zhao Yuan walking and making a phone call. Suddenly, he stopped there, turned around, and crazily asked, ¡°Chen Wanxin! Where is Wenxi?!¡±

 Chapter 195 (Dad, It’s You) A Cold Killer and An Amiable Father

    <h4>Chapter 195 (Dad, It¡¯s You) A Cold Killer and An Amiable Father</h4>


    Chen Yuanxi regretted that he had asked Zhang Dong to go out and help the cleaners sweep the street. However, it had be a habit to ask Zhang Dong to do whatever he wanted. It seemed that in this way, he would have lesser memories of the experience he encountered, a few years ago.


    After Chen Yuanxi issued the order to Zhang Dong, he received a call from Zhao Yuan, who asked if he had gone to look for himst night. Chen Yuanxiughed and teased him for a while. Then he wanted to drink some liquor brewed in Inner Mongolia to warm his body. However, he had been dragged into a smallne, when he was on the way to buy the liquor. His mouth and nose were covered, and then he fainted.


    When he woke up, he found he was in a dark and cold basement.


    He realized that he had been kidnapped.


    In the darkness, someone said, ¡°It¡¯s my pleasure to meet you, young master.¡± Then the ck cotton cloth covering Chen Yuanxi¡¯s eyes was removed, and the dazzling light made Chen Yuanxi close his eyes, and it was a long time before he got used to the light.


    The face of the man in front of him, had a mask on.


    Chen Yuanxi calmly said, ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±


    ¡°He Fu.¡± The voice of the man was muffled.


    Chen Yuanxi had heard from Zhang Dong that He Fu had be the third leader of the Mo Family, in recent years, and everyone feared him.


    It was said that He Fu had been a desperado in the past. He had killed many people before he was arrested. Then he was discovered and taken on by Mo Qian. When he was Mo Qian¡¯s bodyguard, he was loyal and had saved Mo Qian¡¯s life several times, in times of crisis. He was ruthless, and had inherited the style of the Mo Family. He would hurt people as long as he fought. He had sessfully killed manypetitors for Mo Qian.


    Even the eyes alone, of such a person, would instill fear in people, not to mention the fact that he had murdered numerous people.


    He Fu grabbed Chen Yuanxi¡¯s neck and said, ¡°Guess who the person lying in that corner is?¡±


    Only then did Chen Yuanxi see a bloody sack in the corner, which was packed in a trunk.


    He Fu slowly pushed the suitcase forward with his feet, and opened the sack. Immediately, a pale and bloodless hand flopped in front of Chen Yuanxi, and the heavy smell of blood wafted out to him. On seeing that, Chen Yuanxi frowned, and restrained his disgust. He snapped, ¡°You won¡¯t kill me! If you want to kill me, you would not have brought me here. In this case, move this away and let¡¯s talk!¡± As soon as Chen Yuanxi finished speaking, he saw that the bloody hand in front of him had been cut off by someone! Chen Yuanxi could not help whining and vomiting, at the sudden stench.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you for years. You¡¯re pretty sessful now.¡± He Fu used a cold and shining dagger to stir up the vomit, and then slowly smeared it on Chen Yuanxi¡¯s face.


    Chen Yuanxi¡¯s limbs were bound with ropes, and he could not move. He was almost driven mad by the disgusting smell. He could not make out the appearance of the person, and reluctantly said, ¡°Why do you need to cover your face? Do you dare to show me your face?¡±


    He Fu once again grabbed Chen Yuanxi¡¯s throat with one hand. Chen Yuanxi gagged and his tears flowed down. ¡°Who...are you?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    He Fu pulled off the mask. Chen Yuanxi felt that he had never seen such an ugly person before, in the world. His face was full of puckered scars, and looked like it was covered with leeches. The biggest scar on his face was so livid that it looked like a living, twisted, huge earthworm. When he saw his face, Chen Yuanxi could not help vomiting again.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi, long time no see,¡± said the man, in a malicious voice.


    ¡°He called me Lin Wenxi?¡± Chen Yuanxi was so shocked that it felt as he had been sshed with a bucket of ice water in the midst of winter, after getting drunk. He tugged strongly at the ropes binding his hands, and coughed violently. After a long time, he suddenly choked and sobbed, ¡°Uncle Hong Xuan, you are still alive. How did you be like this...?¡±


    He Fu did not respond, just stared at him coldly.


    Chen Yuanxi suddenly smiled happily. One¡¯s face might not be recognized clearly and his hair could be shaved off, but the eyes could not be changed in anyway. He Fu, who used to be Hong Xuan, looked at Chen Yuanxi in the same way as before, full of an elder¡¯s love and concern. He had been ruthless to Chen Yuanxi, because he thought that Chen Yuan had nned for many years, but still did not know how to protect himself.


    Two teardrops fell from Chen Yuanxi¡¯s eyes. Uncle Hong Xuan had been a man with ck hair and bright eyes, though his skin was swarthy at that time. Seven years ago, even at the age of 46, he still looked like a middle-aged man in his early forties. When had he turned into a man with thick pores and garish scars on his face? Half of his handsome eyebrows had turned white, and his hands, which used to be bony, looked like a pair of skinny ws now, although they were still powerful.


    He was like a sere, huge ancient tree, which was still tall, but with its life already burned out. What had he done in the Mo Family? It was said that each executor of the Mo Family had killed many people!


    ¡°Dad!¡± Chen Yuanxi could not restrain himself any longer. He shouted, ¡°Dad!¡±


    The muscles on He Fu¡¯s face suddenly twitched, and the knife in his hand, fell to the ground.


    ¡°Daddy! I¡¯m Wenxi!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve always been Wenxi!¡± Chen Yuanxi shouted and struggled desperately.


    ¡°You... why did you demolish Ziwei¡¯s school? Why do you call your enemy, father? Why are you the vice president of BC Company?¡± He Fu came to Chen Yuanxi, grabbed his cor, and asked loudly, ¡°You even changed your name!¡±


    Chen Yuanxi could not stop shaking his head and choking with sobs.


    ¡°Tell me!¡± He Fu asked in a sharp voice, and again firmly gripped Chen Yuanxi¡¯s neck.


    ¡°You¡¯re the only family I have now...¡± Chen Yuanxi did not struggle anymore, and closed his eyes.


    He Fu, standing in front of Chen Yuanxi, was Hong Xuan, who had survived during that disastrous year.


    Hong Xuan sat in silence. That rainy evening seven years ago, was the turning point of his life.


    Seven years ago.


    He vaguely remembered that when he was in a daze, someone held him in his arms and cried all the time. He was held tightly and the lips of the person who held him, was cold.


    He still remembered that it seemed that there had always been someone sleeping beside him and snuggling up to him. He thought that Lin Ziwei had sent him home, and his wife was trying to wake him up.


    But he also remembered that when the car rolled down the mountain, Lin Ziwei only shouted, ¡°Let Wenxi and Hong Yan get married and stay alive!¡± Then there was no more sound. Hong Xuan could not save Lin Ziwei, who was in the co driver¡¯s seat. He had opened the door and jumped out of the car, when the car was in mid-air.


    When Hong Xuan came to, he was in an unknown farmyard somewhere in another province, where the people did not speak to him at all. After tending to his wounds, they all left, leaving some food, a sum of money, and several sets of clothes. Knowing that he could not return to Yangzi County for the time being, Hong Xuan went to search for information on the Inte. The information he found, was the same as what Chen Yuanxi saw at that time.


    Hong Xuan hoped that his former armyrades and old friends would not leave like this, so he went back to the county, in camouge. It took a lot of effort to get in touch with a few reliable people, and he began his investigations secretly.


    But Lin Ziwei had been buried.


    Huang Xiya was missing.


    Then, Lin Wenxi joined the Chens.


    This series of events did not stop Hong Xuan.


    But the heavy rain had washed away any footprints that may have been left, and no vigers had ever seen these murderers.


    What he could only find were some deep marks on the grass, which had not been washed away by the rain. However, they were not footprints, only very t marks. Maybe they were left by the murderers, when they carried stones to the mountain. The murderers were very smart, and their shoes might had been covered with iron, at that time.


    After a long period of investigation, evidence collection, and visits, he found that there was no evidence left. Lin Ziwei¡¯s formerrades in arms and friends in the police station, who were involved in the investigation, were all transferred to other ces, within the next month.


    What many former subordinates could only do was to help vindicate Hong Xuan and help Lin Ziwei get the honor he deserved, after his death.


    Hong Xuan knew that it was toote.


    He disfigured himself, leaving a deep scar on his face. Then, on a rainy night, he ughtered a group of young people, who were raping a young woman in turn. After that, he was now a murderer who had killed five people.


    Finally, he seeded in approaching Mo Qian and the Mo Family.


    Hong Xuan did not want to tell Chen Yuanxi all this. He untied Chen Yuanxi, and massaged his arms slowly. After a long time, he said, ¡°In a word, bear in mind that I am He Fu, the number one killer of the Mo Family. Hong Xuan is dead!¡±


    Then Chen Yuanxi told him all of the changes during these years.


    How time flies and brings a great change to the world. Chen Yuanxi had worked hard for many years, and he sometimes sighed with emotion, when he was alone. But now he felt that all he had done, was not as good as a tenth of what Hong Xuan had done. After all, Hong Xuan only was Lin Ziwei¡¯s sworn brother, while Chen Yuanxi was his son, whom he had raised for 19 years.


    Chen Yuanxi threw himself into Hong Xuan¡¯s arms and cried for a long time, until Hong Xuan gently touched his head with his warm hands and slowly said, ¡°You are still a child.¡±


    The two sat in silence for a moment, then Chen Yuanxi asked in a trembling voice while pointing at the body in the ground, ¡°Who is that...¡±


    ¡°The man Mo Qian asked me to kill.¡± Hong Xuan said in a deep voice.


    A week ago, Hong Xuan received a task to kill a man here. Originally, he could have left this task to his staff, but he felt it was necessary to meet Chen Yuanxi, who had be a Vice President.


    Last night, after finishing his task, he was supposed to bury the corpse in order to destroy all traces, and then leave the province by bus, and finally go to the small town. But he said that there was something wrong with the body, and lied that he would go to the coach stationter.


    Mo Qian could not allow Hong Xuan to make any mistakes in other provinces, so he asked Chen Wanxin to wait for him at the coach station, and arranged to meet him. Mo Qian did not expect that Hong Xuan would kidnap Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°Is that... is that Wang Chang?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°How do you know?¡±


    ¡°I just found that he was here! Was Ah Yuan found out when he investigated this matter? Or... how could Mo Qian know all this? I¡¯ve never been out of the hotel... I...¡± Chen Yuanxi was stunned.


    ¡°Before he died, I interrogated him. He not only guarded Zhang Dong, but also knew one of the people who was involved in killing Ziwei, and that man is now abroad.¡±


    ¡°But... he is dead...¡±


    ¡°In those days, when I protected you and had no time to care about other things, Mo Qian sent someone to kill Zhao Mingjiang. And when Ziwei and I went to get the testimony of thest witness, he poisoned you and caused you topse into aa. He would never wait, and instead cut the Gordian knot! Bear in mind that any move that challenges his bottom line is likely to make him kill you. When you were investigating Wang Chang, he was also investigating him, and he was much faster than you.¡± said Hong Xuan.


    ¡°Wenxi, you are no match for him. Ziwei wants you to live well, not to seek revenge! Leave the avenging to me!¡± said Hong Xuan.


    ¡°Uncle, I won¡¯t give up.¡± Chen Yuanxi was very stubborn.


    ¡°Mo Qian does not dare to do anything to me. Before the Chens copses, he won¡¯t hurt me. I hope you can confirm one thing for me during this period, that is, whether Mo Qian is actually at odds with Chen Tianjiao. Chen Tianjiao asked Zhang Dong to protect me, but at the same time, he also asked Zhang Dong to monitor me. I have been an observer for so many years. Chen Tianjiao does not want Chen Wanxin or me to set foot in the Mo Family. However, when Chen Wanxin was still in high school, Mo Qian told her about the Mo Family. When she was in college, Chen Tianjiao did not want Chen Wanxin to know my identity, but Mo Qian exposed my identity early. Although he is loyal and devoted to the Chens, he also disobeys Chen Tianjiao frequently.¡± Chen Yuanxi said.


    Hong Xuan thought for a moment and said, ¡°It¡¯s hard for me to get close to Chen Tianjiao, so I don¡¯t know how he thinks, but I will pay attention to him. The evidence that I have left in the Mo Family for so many years, is kept by somebody. But I can¡¯t tell you who she is now. I must ensure her safety! Time¡¯s up, see you next time!¡±


    ¡°Wait a minute! Uncle, who killed my father?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°Mo Qian and a group of running dogs! It has been inconvenient for me to investigate it for so many years, and this matter was done too secretly. So I think you can only start from Luo Yang. He is likely to be one of the participants, but he has always been with Mo Qian, and is loyal to him. His sister is Mo Qian¡¯s ex-wife, but she is dead,¡± said Hong Xuan.


    ¡°Does Mo Qian have any children? Since we can¡¯t kill him, we can kill his son or daughter!¡± Chen Yuanxi could not hide the hatred in his voice.


    ¡°Wenxi, you should have a child with Ziwei,¡± said Hong Xuan.


    Chen Yuanxi was slightly shocked, then he nodded and said, ¡°The people, who are keeping an eye on Zhang Dong¡¯s parents, must be reced by those you trust!¡±


    ¡°I know it. Now you can go.¡±


    ¡°How can I contact you, Uncle Hong Xuan?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°When it¡¯s time to get in touch, I¡¯lle to you naturally. There can¡¯t be any interaction between us!¡± said Hong Xuan.


    Chen Yuanxi hugged Hong Xuan, and touched the scar on Hong Xuan¡¯s face gently, with his fingers. He could not help crying.


    ¡°Boy, don¡¯t cry! You are the child of the Lin Family,¡± said Hong Xuan.


    Chen Yuanxi smiled through his tears and said, ¡°You are still the same. I haven¡¯t heard you talking like this for many years. Let me hear that again.¡±


    Hong Xuan was silent for a long time, then he hugged Chen Yuanxi and patted him on the shoulder, saying, ¡°Protect yourself and stay with Zhang Dong. He is on your side. No matter what he has done to you before, at least, he is on your side now. Don¡¯t get sentimental!¡±


    Chen Yuanxi nodded heavily, and asked, while pointing to the body, ¡°Well, he...¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll take care of it.¡± Hong Xuan said, and turned his back.


    Chen Yuanxi did not speak anymore. He looked at the back which was not very straight, his tears flowing again.

 Chapter 222 (I Finally Don’t Have to Wait for You) Chen Yuan Has No Fate to be with Hong Yan

    <h4>Chapter 222 (I Finally Don¡¯t Have to Wait for You) Chen Yuan Has No Fate to be with Hong Yan</h4>


    Two monthster, Beijing.


    The summer hase.


    Zhang Dong dragged out an air water tank and set up a small swimming pool in the room. Chen Yuanxi was naked and immersed in the water. He remembered that Captain Cao had been telling him from the small town that people of the Mo Family had been caught one after another, but the one who often provided clues was He Fu, the major fugitive who had killed three people several years ago.


    Captain Cao had asked about the identity of He Fu several times, but Chen Yuanxi said nothing.


    ¡°It¡¯s enough. You¡¯re so tired. Come here,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    Zhang Dong took off his vest and rolled down. They had ying in the water for a while, and did not notice the sound of the door opening.


    When Hong Xuan came in, Chen Yuanxi was lying on Zhang Dong¡¯s body, pouring water on his head, and washing his hair. When they saw Hong Xuan, they immediately stopped, looking like children who had done something wrong.


    Hong Xuan came here to discuss Chen Yuanxi¡¯s marriage.


    However, Chen Yuanxi eloquently repeated thest words of Zhao Mingjiang.


    ¡°The man has gone,¡± Hong Xuan sighed and said, ¡°Wenxi, I never think there is any love between you and Zhao Yuan. He and you are brothers, maybe just like your father and I. Wenxi, conduct yourself well.¡±


    ¡°What is the right way?¡± Zhang Dong asked, ¡°Uncle Xuan, you can¡¯t see the whole world even if you travel far and wide.¡±


    ¡°People havews, so does the nature. You¡¯re old enough, but can¡¯t you understand that?¡± asked Hong Xuan.


    ¡°You and uncle Lin are brothers. Zhao Yuan and he are lovers. Things are different among different people,¡± Zhang Dong replied in a loud voice.


    ¡°What about you and him?¡± Hong Xuan grabbed Zhang Dong¡¯s cor, and angrily asked, ¡°I¡¯ve been watching you for so long. How about you and him?¡±


    ¡°Just because Wenxi and I are mature men, we know better how to judge the world.¡± Zhang Dong¡¯s face was calm, and his eyes were clear.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan is married! How can he think it through?¡± Hong Xuan asked in a fierce voice.


    Chen Yuanxi¡¯s face suddenly turned pale.


    Only then did he know that Zhao Yuan had already held a wedding ceremony with Shu Xiaoman in City G when he did not bother about what was happening in the outside world for two months.


    ¡°He has twin children and has achieved sess in his career. Wenxi, you¡¯re twenty-seven this year. Zhang Dong, if I remember correctly, you are thirty-one! You two stay here all day and do nothing serious. Tell me, is Luo Yang executed? Has Mo Qian been sentenced to death? Are you in the mood for anything else?¡± Hong Xuan could not help being fierce.


    Seeing that Hong Xuan had be an ordinary father who was urging his son to get married, Zhang Dong could not helpughing.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything wrong. Did I do something wrong? I¡¯m tired and want to rest. That¡¯s all!¡± Chen Yuanxi suddenly blushed, and said angrily, but he was gently knocked on his head by Hong Xuan.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything wrong. Leave me alone!¡± Chen Yuanxi sat on the chair with anger and turned his head, keeping silent.


    ¡°You are the same child as before!¡± Hong Xuan had not seen Chen Yuanxi doing that for many years, and could not help feeling it funny at this moment.


    Chen Yuanxi turned and said, ¡°I am a child. You¡¯re my only father now, and I am always your child!¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t talk to you!¡± Hong Xuan seemed angry.


    ¡°Then you can stop talking with me. If you are angry, you can lock yourself in the room. Don¡¯t stay in front of me!¡± Chen Yuanxi simply said.


    Although Hong Xuan had a good physical body, he had been tired for so many years and was more than fifty years old, so he did feel unwell because of being angry with Chen Yuanxi and went to the inner bedroom to have a rest.


    ¡°He¡¯s really married this time.¡± After Hong Xuan went in, Chen Yuanxi sat in a daze. Zhang Dong saw that his left index finger seemed to be bleeding because of being pinched by his right hand.


    Zhang Dong knew that there was no reason for him to talk at the moment. When the night wind blew, he put on a coat for Chen Yuanxi, who had been standing alone by the window for more than two hours.


    Zhao Yuan¡¯s wedding was grand and extravagant. It seemed that he wanted everyone to know that he, the president of YHpany, would marry a beautifuldy. The twins were very adorable and the couple loved each other. At the wedding, people toasted each other, full ofughter and happiness.


    The bride¡¯s red floor-length evening dress was very beautiful and bright, looking like the red sunset.


    But suddenly, the skirt began to twist. Gradually, it became the bloody scar on Hong Xuan¡¯s face and the scar on Gu Xi¡¯s forehead. Then a face appeared on the skirt. It was Wang Xiang who had passed away. He seemed to be smiling and crying.


    Chen Yuanxi woke up suddenly from a nightmare, and Zhang Dong also sat up beside him.


    Zhang Dong held Chen Yuanxi in his arms, patted him gently on the arm, put his chin on Chen Yuanxi¡¯s forehead, and said softly, ¡°It¡¯s OK, it¡¯s OK.¡±


    The door was suddenly opened. Hong Xuan turned on the light with a puzzled face. When he saw this situation, his face immediately turned livid. But when he saw the sweat on Chen Yuanxi¡¯s head and his pale face, his face gradually turned gentle.


    Chen Yuanxi broke away from Zhang Dong and smiled at Hongxuan. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±


    ¡°You never have nightmares,¡± said Hong Xuan.


    ¡°Maybe because I¡¯ve done a lot of bad things.¡± Chen Yuanxi smiled and wiped his sweat with a pillow towel.


    Before closing the door, Hong Xuan added, ¡°Is there an rm clock in that pillow? It has been shaking suddenly.¡±


    Zhang Dong smiled bitterly, ¡°Yes. I¡¯ll take it away.¡±


    That evening, Zhang Dong had been pressing the pillow and dared not get up again. Chen Yuanxi pillowed his arm and gradually calmed down.


    The three lived together for several days, and Hong Xuan became more and more unhappy. At Zhang Dong¡¯s suggestion, the three decided to go back to the town together to meet Hong Xuan¡¯s daughter, Hong Yan.


    When they were close to Ziyun Piano Store, Hong Xuan stopped and gave Chen Yuanxi a pinhole camera.


    ¡°Uncle Hong Xuan, will you... not go?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    Hong Xuan nodded his head.


    Maybe before making the decision, Hong Xuan had already realized that he would never meet his daughter again in this life. Hong Xuan had passed by for many times, even once sneaked into Ziyun Piano Store to secretly watch his daughter y the piano in the house. But they could not meet. He did not know what would Hong Yan think when she saw his appearance. Instead, he would rather let her gradually ept that her father had died eight years ago.


    Chen Yuanxi calcted and found that he had not seen his childhood ymate for more than eight years, although he had lived in the small city for so long and passed Ziyun Piano Store several times.


    They met each other face to face and hardly knew each other.


    They had not meet for many years. Chen Yuanxi wanted to talk about something they were familiar when they were children, but he finally failed to do after raking his brains, so he could simply ask Hong Yan how she had been these years. Then he knew that she had been running the piano store here and had opened another two small piano stores in the small town after he transferred Ziyun Piano Store to her when she graduated.


    Soon, Chen Yuanxi went straight to the point. He was eager to hear Hong Yan say that she had a lover.


    But Hong Yan was single.


    ¡°I¡¯m waiting for you toe back.¡± Hong Yan said with a smile.


    ¡°Wait for me?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°If you don¡¯te back and make it clear to me, I can¡¯t get married! My love has been dyed for so many years!¡± Hong Yan said with a smile.


    Until then did Chen Yuanxi know that Hong Xuan had conveyed Lin Ziwei¡¯s will to two people when he had an ident. One was Huang Xiya and the other was his wife.


    Hong Xuan always regarded Lin Ziwei¡¯s order as his faith. Naturally, he hoped that Hong Yan would marry Chen Yuanxi. Besides, Hong Yan and Chen Yuanxi had been engaged when they were children, which they both knew. So he thought that Hong Yan was willing to marry Chen Yuanxi. However, he could hardly believe his daughter¡¯s remark at this moment .


    ¡°We haven¡¯t seen each other for more than eight years and three months. In these years, we have our own lives. Even if you hase back to the small town, we still couldn¡¯t have chance to meet. You don¡¯t know me, and I¡¯m not familiar with you. Besides, you¡¯ve changed a lot! I can only get your information from news and newspapers. How can we have that kind of rtionship?¡± Hong Yan smiled and blushed.


    ¡°I have always respected uncle Lin, and I am very sorry for his departure. Since things have passed for so many years, I won¡¯t say anymore. But his will is only valid for you, and can¡¯t restrain me. Although my mother told me that my father wanted me to marry you, and even if I want toply with my father¡¯s wishes, I also have to respect your wishes, don¡¯t I?¡± ¡°Look, you haven¡¯te to make it clear for so many years, so that I couldn¡¯t get married. Brother Wenxi, how can youpensate me?¡± Hong Yan then joked and smiled, two shallow dimples appearing on her face.


    Chen Yuanxi¡¯s eyes turned red and he held Hong Yan tightly in his arms, saying, ¡°Sister, uncle Hong Xuan is my father. You are not my friend, but my sister!¡±


    ¡°I really have two good family members. One is my father, who has escaped from death in a great danger. At present, Chen Tianjiao is dead, but I don¡¯t know where he is. He hasn¡¯t returned home for more than eight years! The other is you, my brother. You joined the Chen Family, worked as a undercover, and destroyed the Chen Family to avenge uncle Lin. I also haven¡¯t seen you for more than eight years. It¡¯s really...¡± Hong Yan said as her eyes turned red, and then she sobbed softly in Chen Yuanxi¡¯s arms.


    Chen Yuanxi suddenly felt that something had been melted in his heart, which then became a pool of spring and rippled in the warm sunlight.


    ¡°Yanyan, I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s my fault. What I did before is too dangerous. I¡¯m afraid that I couldn¡¯t protect you.¡± Chen Yuanxi thought of the scenes in Hong Xuan¡¯s house when he was a child. He remembered that when he was severely trained by Hong Xuan, there was always a sister who wiped his wound. When he was sick, there was always a sweet voice around him. It was an excuse! For many years, because of all this, he had been cold-hearted and had not taken care of her for a second. He just had left her a Ziyun Piano Store that seemed to be profitable.


    ¡°Brother, you have told me that I can read and see the letters and photos sent by Brother Yun Che and Sister Ziping. I knew what you meant from the first letter. I read every letter. It¡¯s true. I know and remember every story. I feel the same with them! I shed tears with them and have fun with them. Brother Xi, I sincerely hope that Brother Yuan and you can live happily together. The world is big and the time is still early. In the future, it will be our young generation¡¯s world, right?¡± Hong Yan said with a smile.


    ¡°How are they doing?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°They have children. Now they are living in the prairies of Latin America. They said that they would to go to the South Pole soon! They said they would take many pictures of Antarctica and Aurora. They said there is the ends of the earth!¡± Hong Yan held Chen Yuanxi tightly and said.


    ¡°Thank you, sister. You know all this.¡± Chen Yuanxi was very peaceful.


    After Chen Yuanxi and Zhang Dong left, Hong Yan stood at the door of Ziyun Piano Store, tightly holding the half of the pendant once she had lost and shedding tears again.


    ¡°Brother Xi, I finally don¡¯t have to wait for you.¡±

 Chapter 197 (Only Half of the Conversation Is Recorded) Chen Yuanxi and Mo Qian Frame Each Other

    <h4>Chapter 197 (Only Half of the Conversation Is Recorded) Chen Yuanxi and Mo Qian Frame Each Other</h4>


    Chen Yuanxi received two letters in the office, attached with evidence of he taking kickbacks and embezzling public funds in thepany¡¯s business negotiations.


    The sender was unknown, but he knew that they all from Wang Wankun. Under the pretext of YH Company¡¯s dunning, Mo Qian asked the Wangs in the South District to investigate. And the evidence was sent by Zhang Dong to Wang Wankun step by step. If Wang Wankun and his wife were enemies and stood against Chen Yuanxi, the two letters would be sent to Chen Wanxin or Chen Tianjiao, then situation would be very hard for him. But in the end, the two letters were received by Chen Yuanxi.


    Chen Yuanxi met Wang Wankun and his wife in early spring.


    After arriving at the hotel, he asked Zhang Dong to go to the entrance of the parking lot to guard the door as usual.


    Wang Wankun and Wang Zhengjuan were very simr, but their temperaments were quite different. Wang Wankun looked gentle, while Rao Yu was not as timid and lovable as her name suggested. That pair of eyes on her thin face were full of slyness, which made Chen Yuanxi could not help being some unhappy.


    ¡°We have shown you our sincerity. President Chen, I¡¯m wondering why youe,¡± asked Rao Yu.


    ¡°Now it¡¯s my turn to show my sincerity,¡± Chen Yuanxi handed over the record of Wang Zhengjuan¡¯s coping with the aftermath of an traffic ident and said, ¡°If we strictly base on the record and hire a wisewyer, it¡¯s not a problem to sentence Wang Zhengjuan to two or three years in prison.¡±


    On hearing that, the couple changed their faces a little.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that you had been keeping the evidence after helping Zhengjuan get rid of the punishment at that time,¡± Rao Yu said carefully with a smile.


    Chen Yuanxi slowly said, ¡°Zhou Nannan spared no effort to exchange anything for me to let go of Zhengjuan, so I naturally got what I wanted and fulfilled my promise. If I had given this to my adoptive father who then had used this to deal with the Mo Family, the Mo Family would have suffered a lot.¡±


    ¡°But your natural father is Secretary Chen,¡± said Wang Wankun.


    ¡°My father seems to have nothing to do with the Mo Family. You want to leave the Mo Family, not my father, don¡¯t you?¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Rao Yu replied with a serious look.


    ¡°That¡¯s it. What I want is Wang Chang¡¯s whereabouts. I¡¯ll guarantee his safety,¡± Chen Yuanxi said, ¡°You have to be quick. I only have five minutes left.¡± Chen Yuanxi knew that he could not leave those shareholders too long in the name of temporary meeting with important customers, otherwise someone would definitely report his behavior to Chen Wanxin, or even to Mo Qian. At that time, Zhang Dong could not lie for him except for telling the truth.


    Rao Yu said with a smile, ¡°Mr. Chen, I knew that you had great ability when you were in the university. Now you are even more powerful and have helped Secretary Chen manage the BC Company in order. You are much better than your sister.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t try to cause alienation between me and my sister. Although I don¡¯t get along with her, we are siblings. I won¡¯t embarrass her. You¡¯d better think about it carefully.¡± Chen Yuanxi was a little impatient.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll say what I want. We knew a couple in City Hua. Their son likes Zhengjuan. We hope that you can find a way to let Zhengjuan marry him. Then we¡¯ll tell you everything,¡± said Rao Yu.


    ¡°Huh... but you know your daughter likes Zhou Nannan.¡± Chen Yuanxi was a little angry, but still smiled lightly.


    ¡°They do live a good life in Shanghai. But as a result, Zhengjuan gave up to going to the original Jifu University. As long as she and Zhou Nannan stay in China, our whole family will be looked down upon. Besides, in order to threaten us, some people have been sent to Shanghai to pick on them. If Zhengjuan couldn¡¯t y Kung Fu and Wanxin had not mediated, Zhengjuan would already have been injured. She is busy enough with her own affairs, but she had to take care of the delicate Zhou Nannan. It¡¯s unnecessary to say how dangerous she is now. We can¡¯t get rid of the Mo Family until she¡¯s safe.¡± Rao Yu seemed quite angry, and Chen Yuanxi looked at Wang Wankun, who was ying with his mobile phone.


    ¡°The Mo Family can¡¯t hurt her if she goes to City Hua! As long as she is safe, we can testify against the Mo Family at any time. Even though we may be sentenced to several years in prison, it¡¯s better than being rted to the Mo Family forever. President Chen, do you know that we have always thought you would never care about the Mo Family again for so many years? We thought you were just the young master of the Chen Family.¡± Rao Yu¡¯s voice trembled a little when she said that.


    ¡°I¡¯m the young master of the Chen Family, but I don¡¯t want the Chen Family to have something to do with the Mo Family again,¡± Chen Yuanxi said solemnly.


    ¡°I agree to your request,¡± Chen Yuanxi said as he strode out. Unexpectedly, it rained heavily outside and he had to go to the road outside the hotel to take the taxi.


    Suddenly, an umbre appeared on the top of his head, which was held by the wet Zhang Dong.


    Zhang Dong handed the umbre to Chen Yuanxi, and walked straight beside him. His face was unable to be seen under his sunsses.


    Imperial Capital Building.


    Wang Wankun and Rao Yu handed the recording to Mo Qian. Thest sentence of the recording was, ¡°What I want is Wang Chang¡¯s whereabouts. I¡¯ll guarantee his safety.¡±


    ¡°Boss, as you expected, Mr. Chen¡¯s two usation letters and what he asked you to do are all tests on us. This is what he really wants,¡± said Wang Wankun.


    Mo Qian asked while frowning, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you record the whole conversation?¡±


    ¡°I was afraid that Mr. Chen would be suspicious, so I put down my mobile phone after I recorded the key sentence,¡± said Wang Wankun.


    ¡°I¡¯m wondering whether it is true or not that you want to leave the Mo Family,¡± asked Mo Qian with interest.


    ¡°Boss, we have always wanted to retire, and you already know that. But we have never betrayed the Mo Family and you. Our only wish is to ensure the safety of my daughter, which you¡¯ve known about for years. As long as she gets married to City Hua, it doesn¡¯t matter whether we¡¯ll quit or not. It¡¯s all up to you. If we¡¯ll still be useful in the future, we¡¯ll be willing to help you,¡± said Rao Yu with a smile.


    Chen Yuanxi said to Zhang Dong, ¡°You still have to report what happened today to Mo Qian.¡± Seeing that Zhang Dong was puzzled, he said with a smile, ¡°Just now in the room, only Rao Yu was talking, while Wang Wankun was secretly ying with his mobile phone. But I think he only recorded the first half of my words. Maybe Mo Qian has known my previous arrangement, and asked the Wangs to test me. Now it seems that they believe in neither me nor Mo Qian. They only believe and get close to the people who can help their daughter get married to City Hua.¡±


    ¡°Let Wang Zhengjuan marry...¡±


    Chen Yuanxi remembered the scene of two people nestling together on the bank of the pool and Wang Zhengjuan¡¯s personal performance on the rostrum. ¡°She wants the whole world to know that Zhou Nannan belongs to her. Will she agree to get married? What will Mo Qian do if he were me?¡±


    Chen Yuanxi was still thinking about it when he received an email, which said that Chen Wanxin was going to hold a general meeting of shareholders, whose topic was impeachment of Chen Yuanxi.

 Chapter 198 (Dear Fool) Zhao Yuan Took Precautions to Solve Chen Yuanxi’s Problems

    <h4>Chapter 198 (Dear Fool) Zhao Yuan Took Precautions to Solve Chen Yuanxi¡¯s Problems</h4>


    In Chen Wanxin¡¯s hands, it was the two usation letters and obvious evidences of Chen Yuanxi transferring and collecting ounts.


    ¡°Should we hand it to the judiciary authorities and police or settle it out of court and you leave thepany with nothing? Of course, you have made contributions to thepany, so you will be allowed to hold some shares and dividends, so as to ensure that you will not live a poor life in the future.¡± Chen Wanxin threw the documents on the table, and all the shareholders frowned in puzzle for a while.


    ¡°I was framed!¡± Chen Yuanxi loudly said, ¡°So I believe that the police will prove my innocence.¡±


    ¡°Were you framed? Tell me, who can frame you with these pieces of evidence?¡± Chen Wanxin sneered.


    ¡°I¡¯ll asked mywyer to exin for it. Before the police find out the truth, I¡¯m still the major shareholder of thepany! Now I¡¯m going to announce the first decision that BC Company will buy back its shares in YH Company and use it as a fund for thepany to explore the Inner Mongolia market!¡± said Chen Yuanxi. This decision had been discussed and was made by Zhao Yuan and Chen Yuanxi two days ago. After the listing, Zhao Yuan needed to leave BC Company. Finally, he would announce that Chen Wanxin and he had not got the marriage certificate. This was the so-called kicking down thedder. In order to seek self-protection, Chen Yuanxi announced this decision in advance to slow down the war.


    ¡°Sister Wanxin, do you think we should call the police or privately negotiate and investigate it?¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    Once BC Company bought back its shares of YH Company, Zhao Yuan¡¯spany might not be able to be listed. Chen Wanxin knew that this meant that her wedding would be postponed again. She did not expect Chen Yuanxi to ignore Zhao Yuan¡¯s interests now.


    To Chen Yuanxi¡¯s surprise, Chen Wanxin nodded and said, ¡°I agree to buy back the shares of YH Company.¡± It would take time to buy back shares. As long as Chen Yuanxi was overturned, Chen Wanxin was confident that she could change the decision made in the shareholders¡¯ meeting.


    As expected, Chen Yuanxi¡¯s personal freedom was first restricted and then his authorities inpany were removed. He was not allowed to leave the small town and had to cooperate with investigation at any time.


    Chen Yuanxi knew that Chen Wanxin had already been prepared so that the police¡¯s action was so fast. But he did not understand what had happened between Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin so that their engagement could not threat Chen Wanxin.


    A few days ago, Chen Wanxin went to ask for Mo Qian¡¯s help to drive Chen Yuanxi out of BC Company, and proposed that he would get some options of BCpany in a low price aspensation.


    Mo Qian just indifferently said, ¡°Since marrying you is already in the will, what are you worried about?¡± ¡°In those days, your affairs in City A were discovered by your brother due to Zhao Yuan. Now because of Zhao Yuan, do you want your brother topletely discharge you from thepany?¡± After that, Mo Qian stopped talking.


    Mo Qian¡¯s words awakened Chen Wanxin to the realization that she almost lost everything for the contract.


    Although Mo Qian helped neither Chen Yuanxi nor Chen Wanxin, he still provided a way for Chen Wanxin, which was her ssmate, the Wangs in the past. Chen Wanxin got the evidence of Chen Yuanxi¡¯s mistakes for the reason of what had happened in that year. Then she quickly set a trap for Chen Yuanxi, and did not want to give him any chance to survive.


    The affairs about Wang Zhengjuan had not been settled, and his own affairs had been found by Chen Wanxin. Chen Yuanxi could not help but smile bitterly when he thought of that.


    Hearing the news, Zhao Yuan grinned and said on the phone, ¡°Haven¡¯t you had a good rest recently? Have you forgotten that I asked you to return me one million and make a corporate ount? s, we always need a n B, my dear fool!¡±


    After being teased by Zhao Yuan, Chen Yuanxi was a little angry. Then Zhao Yuan continued to say, ¡°I¡¯ve explored it in Inner Mongolia. The other side needs your token. Think about what it is.¡±


    Chen Wanxin really could not tell whether she was framed by Zhao Yuan and Chen Yuanxi together. Although the evidence was clear, Chen Yuanxi leisurely showed the record to the police that he had transferred the money which Chen Wanxin thought he had embezzled back to YHpany. Whether had he embezzled? YH Company showed the chat record between Shu Xiaoman, the assistant of the president, and the financial staff. It suggested that Shu Xiaoman had asked the financial staff to transfer the money to the corporate ount of BCpany, rather than to Chen Yuanxi¡¯s private ount, but the financial staff made a mistake and transferred the money to Chen Yuanxi¡¯s private ount, so that Chen Yuanxi was believed to had embezzled.


    Then, YH Company transferred the one million to the corporate ount of BCpany, which was called the cooperative rebate for purchasing building materials. In the contract, the cooperation rebate was clearly exined. The whole matter made Chen Wanxin speechless.


    Chen Wanxin asked Luo Yang to investigate the financial staff, but the financial staff had already gone to Bali with arge amount ofpensation money and was lying on the yacht in Bali, surrounded by beautiful women. Chen Wanxin waster reprimanded by Chen Tianjiao, and could not say a word for herself.


    But the token arranged by Hong Xuan really upset Chen Yuanxi.


    He did not receive the token that Hong Xuan said at all.


    He thought about it again and again. When Zhao Yuan came to the small town, he asked Zhao Yuan to do something.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t been a thief!¡± Zhao Yuan said as he waved his hands.


    Hearing that, Chen Yuanxi frowned while Zhao Yuan curled his lip.


    Then Chen Yuanxi curled his lip while Zhao Yuan frowned.


    Finally, Chen Yuanxi gently patted his hips, and Zhao Yuan ran away in a happy mood.


    ¡°He must be a goat in thest life!¡± Chen Yuanxi sat there, depressed for a long time.


    Zhao Yuan, full of grievance in his heart, went to Ziyun Piano Store in the small city to find a girl named Hong Yan. Then he stole half of the pendant and took many pictures of Hong Yan¡¯s life.


    ¡°I¡¯m the head of apany that is going to be listed, but I actually stole something for you!¡± Zhao Yuan came back in anger.


    ¡°Was stealing shoes is okay?¡± Chen Yuanxi asked indifferently.


    ¡°You stole my clothes!¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Did I? Why can¡¯t I do it since you can? A few years ago, Wanxin told me that she is your girl. Do you think I know nothing?¡± Chen Yuanxi stood up with great momentum.


    ¡°I, I did that to get some information.¡± Zhao Yuan sat down with fear, hugged Chen Yuanxi¡¯s waist, and leaned against him.


    ¡°What if she has a baby?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°It¡¯s impossible. I used two condoms...¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Then why don¡¯t you use when you sleep with me?¡± Chen Yuanxi was angry.


    ¡°Let¡¯s have a try tonight to see if you¡¯ll bite my arm again because of pain!¡± Zhao Yuan grinned as he said that.


    ¡°Hum, tonight? I want to change our roles tonight, OK?¡± Chen Yuanxi raised his eyebrows and smiled.


    ...


    Zhao Yuan took the pendant and asked with a smile, ¡°Is this a love token?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t change the topic!¡± Chen Yuanxi could not help being rude.


    ¡°It¡¯s a love token, isn¡¯t it? You see, you also have a love affair with someone else...¡± Zhao Yuan was extremely aggrieved.


    Chen Yuanxi was both angry and helpless, saying, ¡°When I was a child, my father and uncle Hong Xuan exchanged it with each other, and Hong Yan and I were arranged to get married when we were very young. Uncle Hong Xuan must be worried about me, so that he began to think about my marriage, and hoped that I could officially start to contact Hong Yan.¡± ¡°That¡¯s it. Now you can send someone to Inner Mongolia. I will let the American connect with you and tell you what you should do.¡±


    ¡°Where¡¯s Zhang Dong?¡± asked Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°He goes to get some information for me. I¡¯m going to be a bad guy...¡± Chen Yuanxi stretched out.


    ¡°Be my bad guy first...¡± After Zhao Yuan finished his words, Chen Yuanxi once again felt that he had been lifted.


    ¡°Can¡¯t you hold me like holding a baby every time? It¡¯s embarrassed,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    Zhao Yuan lifted Chen Yuanxi, and made him sit on his shoulders, shouting, ¡°Anybody wants to by a child?¡±


    After a while, Chen Yuanxi¡¯s scream rang.


    ¡°Wenxi, I¡¯m sorry... The lintel of the door seems to be too short...¡± Zhao Yuan cried out with concern. Just now, it seemed that they were back in time. He was the six-year-old boy in the countryside again. He put the little Lin Wenxi on his shoulder and ran around in the field.

 Chapter 199 The Affairs of the World Are Inconstant

    <h4>Chapter 199 The Affairs of the World Are Inconstant</h4>


    When Wang Zhengjuan received Chen Yuanxi¡¯s photos, she was sitting next to Zhou Nannan and watching her write the design n.


    There was Longjing tea on the table, next to which was Shanghai dessert. The crystalmpshade was engraved with a rabbit pattern. Two rows of orange small sofas were in the room, on which were pillows in the shape of Totoro and Pikachu. The inclined skylight on the roof was made up of transparent ss, from which the moonlight could fall like water. A cartoon carpet was ced in front of the door, and a row of stickers was at the back of the door, on which two light blue small towels and one redrge towel, and a ckrge towel were hung. This was the highest level of a quiet and elegant home office.


    The two had spent more than six years together here. If there was no surprise, they would buy a recreational vehicle to travel around when they saved enough money.


    The town was very quiet, which was in the Huangpu District of gorgeous Shanghai and near the confluence of Suzhou River and Huangpu River and ten kilometers north of Yu Garden. It was a rare sequestered ce.


    ¡°Juan, how about adopting a child?¡± Zhou Nannan suddenly pointed to her architectural drawings and said, ¡°Look, how nice the baby room they designed is.¡±


    Wang Zhengjuan pointed to the cat who was lolling at them on the sofa and said, ¡°Let¡¯s wait a little longer. When we have a recreational vehicle, we can travel with baby and Xiaohan.¡±


    ¡°How about asking for help from Wenxi and Zhao Yuan? I¡¯ll have a baby with Wenxi, and you¡¯ll have a baby with Zhao Yuan.¡± Zhou Nannan chuckled.


    Wang Zhengjuan grabbed Zhou Nannan¡¯s little ear and said, ¡°Hey! Do you want to have a boyfriend?¡±


    ¡°I just want them to help us. We can have test-tube babies. Both of them are so excellent, then our babies can inherit their genes!¡± Zhou Nannan smiled mischievously.


    ¡°Bah! When the children grow up, they will only know their father!¡± Wang Zhengjuan said with a smile, ¡°By the way, I will go back to my hometown recently. You can help me manage the coffee shop these days. I¡¯ll be back soon.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t quarrel with your parents!¡± said Zhou Nannan. In fact, what she wanted to say was that they would call me and scold me if you quarreled with them.


    Wang Zhengjuan and Chen Yuanxi met at a remote braised lobster stall in the small town.


    ¡°My parents haven¡¯t done anything wicked. What¡¯s the matter with these bloody photos?¡± Wang Zhengjuan asked.


    ¡°You probably know more about the style of the Mo Family than me. It can be said that your parents are suffering the threat from the Mo Family now. You can either flee overseas with Nannan, or marry someone in City Hua and ask people there to help you, so that your parents can escape,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°ording to your words, do I have other choices?¡± asked Wang Zhengjuan.


    ¡°No, you have no choice.¡± Chen Yuanxi said without expression.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi! When you eloped with Zhao Yuan, did you think about your family?¡± asked Wang Zhengjuan.


    ¡°Did you think that your father must be able to subdue the Chens, so you escaped at that time? If somebody told you that if you stayed and married someone, your father would survive. What would you choose?¡± Wang Zhengjuan asked sharply.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t have such a choice, so it¡¯s a pseudo-proposition. Zhengjuan, I can¡¯t help you in this matter, but I can ensure your parents¡¯ safety if you get married,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°What¡¯s your deal with my parents?¡± Wang Zhengjuan asked in a hoarse voice.


    ¡°A deal that will keep your family safe. But as their daughter, you need to take this responsibility. Of course, that is also what they expect!¡±


    ¡°Lin Wenxi, do unto others as you would be done! Now you are really a good young master of the Chens, aren¡¯t you?¡± Wang Zhengjuan tightly held the te on the table, and her face turned livid.


    ¡°Wenxi, is there any other way? You must have, right?¡± Wang Zhengjuan asked, ¡°As long as you help me, I can do anything you want me to do!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t go to Wanxin anymore. She is very upset about thepany recently. In addition, our family is low-key recently. No one in the Chens can protect your parents for you, except me. But, if you have any other connection with the Mo Family, I won¡¯t care about your parents. We were ssmates, and don¡¯t ruin the rtionship. I tried my best,¡± Chen Yuanxi said as he handed over a business card, ¡°This is my phone number, and you can contact me at any time. Once you have a decision, please let me know.¡±


    When Chen Yuanxi came out of the small restaurant, he almost fell.


    ¡°Both youth and flowers are beautiful, but one day both of them will disappear. Wang Zhengjuan, please ept your fate.¡±


    When Zhao Yuan passed by again, he gave Chen Yuanxi two ns, and was about to leave in a hurry. Everything about listing was too busy. Many things, documents, and certificates needed to be done by him in person.


    ¡°Yuan, do me another favor.¡±


    ¡°What kind of things?¡±


    ¡°Promise me first.¡±


    ¡°I promise.¡±


    ¡°Hire some people and ask them to Shanghai to monitor Wang Zhengjuan and Zhou Nannan. If they want to go abroad, stop them. In addition, install your surveince cameras in their residence. I¡¯ll monitor them at any time.¡±


    ¡°Wenxi, what, what do you want to do?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t ask more, just do it.¡±


    It rained heavily on the Qingming Festival this year.


    In front of Lin Ziwei¡¯s tomb, there were still many people holding a memorial ceremony. One of them was tall and strong, dressed in a suit and a small white flower on his chest. He put a magnolia in front of the tomb, raised his head slightly, and said, ¡°Wenxi and I are brothers. Uncle, if you are alive in the paradise, please bless Wenxi with what he wants and Wanxin with safety and healthy. They... after all, they are siblings.¡± Later, he raised half of a pendant and shook it in the rain.


    Soon, a man in ck approached him and said two names in a deep voice, ¡°Hong Yan, Wenxi.¡±


    Then the pendant was given to the man with a letter.


    In front of Zhao Mingjiang¡¯s tomb, Chen Wanxin, dressed in a pure white cotton cheongsam and a pair of white gloves, was standing there, holding an umbre. She had put a bunch of babysbreath here. Soon, the person she was waiting for, gradually approached her in the misty rain.


    ¡°As your wife, I cane to worship my father. I didn¡¯t do anything wrong,¡± said Chen Wanxin.


    Zhao Yuan dusted the rain on his body, saying nothing.


    More than seven years ago, he said in person here that he would marry Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°Yes, you did nothing wrong. It was me who did something wrong.¡± ¡°But if my father had known that it was you who poisoned me and made me dizzy, he would also be afraid to keep such a dangerous wife by my side. Chen Wanxin, I almost didn¡¯t guard against you,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°I just want to give you a baby and perpetuate the family. From the beginning of the wedding, no matter what your purpose is, I am the family member of the Zhao Family. Zhao Yuan, dare you say that you have done what he said in front of him?¡± asked Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°Wanxin, sometimes I really want to know if my soul can leave my body. If I can, I really want to go to theherworld to ask my father why did he give me this order?¡± Zhao Yuan said in a cold voice.


    ¡°Because I am the only woman who loves you the most in the world,¡± said Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°But you are not the one who loves me the most in the world,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    Chen Wanxin¡¯s umbre fell to the ground, making her hair exposed to the rain. After suddenly getting warmer, the weather had turned cold again. The green grass on the grave was covered with countless dewdrops, which looked like the tears she could not shed now.


    Suddenly, a figure appeared on the ridge of the field. It was Zheng Kai.


    Zheng Kai picked up Chen Wanxin¡¯s umbre and put it into Zhao Yuan¡¯s hand.


    ¡°I¡¯m entrusted by Wenxi to send a flower,¡± Zheng Kai said as he put down a bunch of white chrysanthemums, ¡°A¡¯yuan, I¡¯m sorry for your loss. I¡¯m leaving.¡±


    Then he left in silence.


    ¡°Wanxin, the best thing you can do is to be quiet and get along with Wenxi and everything,¡± Zhao Yuan looked at Zheng Kai¡¯s back and said.


    Zhao Yuan hurried to the small town. He could not stand to stay in front of his father¡¯s grave any longer. Since Lin Wenxi came back, he felt that he wanted to see Lin Wenxi and hold him tightly most at this moment.


    Chen Yuanxi stood alone in the courtyard. A magnolia tree was in full bloom here, earlier than other magnolia trees. The white flowers looked like the newspapers in the street and wreaths around the world in those years.


    Today was a day that he could not let go, but a piece of exciting news came to him today.


    Zhang Dong¡¯s parents had gone to the United States safely.


    If Mo Qian wanted to watch the surveince video of Zhang Dong¡¯s parents when he had time in the future, what he would see was the video about the house which had been decorated three years ago. There would be no repetition, and there would never be clocks, calendars, or something like that in the video.


    Chen Yuanxi had to admire Zhao Yuan¡¯s arrangement.


    ¡°You are free,¡± Chen Yuanxi said with a smile. A magnolia petal fell from the air. Chen Yuanxi put it into his mouth. It tasted sour and astringent.


    Zhang Dong stood there and almost could not believe that. Then he raised his one foot and kicked the bamboo fence around the Magnolia, making it in disorder.


    ¡°Wenxi, can you go out with me?¡± Zhang Dong almost could not restrain the excitement in his heart.


    They went out side by side.


    The grass in the park was boundless. Zhang Dong turned more than ten somersaults on thewn, then jumped into theke and rolled in the water. He did not stop and lie on thending bridge by theke until he was tired, looking at the boundless drizzle and boundless sky!


    ¡°Lin Wenxi!¡± Zhang Dong shouted to Chen Yuanxi, ¡°Attention!¡±


    Chen Yuanxi could not help but stand beside thending bridge.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi! Smile!¡± Zhang Dong grinned.


    Chen Yuanxi smiled.


    Zhang Dong shouted, ¡°Turn back!¡±.


    Chen Yuanxi turned and faced thending bridge.


    ¡°March!¡±


    Chen Yuanxi kept marching, and Zhang Dong did not stop him.


    Chen Yuanxi suddenly fell into the water, and Zhang Dong also jumped into it. Soon, he showed up at Chen Yuanxi¡¯s side and said, ¡°Silly boy, you can¡¯t swim, how dared you do that?¡±


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you my bodyguard?¡± Chen Yuanxi asked with a smile.


    ¡°Yes, I am!¡± Zhang Dong could not help holding Chen Yuanxi tightly and said, ¡°I¡¯ve always been your bodyguard!¡± ¡°No matter when and where, I will protect you all my life, every minute and second!¡±


    Chen Yuanxi slightly held back his smile. He saw Zhang Dong¡¯s clear eyes, in which one could see the sun, and touched his arm and scars on his body. Chen Yuanxi just allowed Zhang Dong to hold him tightly and swim freely in theke.


    ¡°On the surface, you will still listen to Mo Qian and don¡¯t show any clue for the time being. In addition, write down all the things you have done in these years. Those which were directly ordered by Mo Qian must be written down with confession and signature!¡± Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.


    ¡°It¡¯s up to you!¡± Zhang Dong put his one arm on Chen Yuanxi¡¯s chest, and swam with the other in the water, ¡°And I¡¯ll write down all that happened that year. I¡¯ll write it all down!¡±


    Not far away under the green willow, Zhao Yuan turned around and left silently.


    That night, Zhang Dong wrote thousands of words, and dozens of cases he had done. Chen Yuanxi was relieved that none of them was criminal case. Zhang Dong then took a knife and cut his fingers. A big bloody fingerprint was left there. After that, he signed and handed it to Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°I helped Chen Tianjiao once by chance. Since then, I¡¯ve always worked for him. Chen Tianjiao is cunning. He has never ordered me to do anything that would keep the criminal record. Because of him, Mo Qian also has never ordered me to kill someone. All he asked me to do were only dangerous. Besides, He Fu happened toe. Maybe I was lucky,¡± said Zhang Dong.


    Chen Yuanxi nodded, looked at them, and said, ¡°You missed one.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to write about that now. I think you can write it yourselfter, will you?¡± Zhang Dong said with a smile.


    Chen Yuanxi hesitated for a moment and finally agreed.

 Chapter 200 Zhao Yuan and Chen Yuanxi Hurt Each Other with Words

    <h4>Chapter 200 Zhao Yuan and Chen Yuanxi Hurt Each Other with Words</h4>


    After receiving Wang Zhengjuan¡¯s wedding invitation, Chen Yuanxi met Wang Wankun and his wife again. He only showed them the video in theptop, which showed Wang Zhengjuan and Zhou Nannan¡¯s life in Shanghai.


    ¡°Are you sure you are going to destroy your daughter¡¯s happiness by yourselves?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    Wang Wankun and Rao Yu looked at each other, and nodded at the same time. ¡°This stupid mistake of the two girls should be corrected now. When Juan¡¯er gets married and has children, she will know that what we¡¯re going to do is good for her.¡±


    ¡°Well, I won¡¯t say more. Give me what I want,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°Juan¡¯er is not married. She hasn¡¯t got the marriage certificate,¡± said Rao Yu.


    ¡°Do you know the end of the sheeple? They usually will be killed by either side. Since I can monitor Wang Zhengjuan, I also can do what I want to her.¡± Chen Yuanxi pounded the table heavily.


    ¡°Give me what I want in three days, or your daughter will be dead! By the way, I needn¡¯t Wang Chang¡¯s address now. He¡¯s dead. Mo Qian did it!¡± Chen Yuanxi said, got up, and left.


    Two dayster, a package was sent to Chen Yuanxi¡¯s house.


    Zhang Dong scanned the package for a while, but he was still uneasy. He asked Chen Yuanxi to return to his bedroom. Then he put the package into the explosion-proof box and opened it.


    Inside were Wang Wankun¡¯s and Rao Yu¡¯s confession, signatures, as well as the recordings and videos of various cases.


    ¡°Zhengjuan, put off the wedding for half a month. When you meet something important soon, please contact me.¡± Chen Yuanxi immediately called Wang Zhengjuan when he received the package.


    Wang Zhengjuan agreed. The hardest time had passed, and the rest was no longer important to her. But the so-called important event Chen Yuanxi said did puzzle her for some time. When the important event really came, she was unprepared. And obviously, Chen Yuanxi was clearly aware of all this!


    A few dayster, Wang Zhengjuan called Chen Yuanxi and angrily scolded, ¡°Chen Yuanxi, didn¡¯t you say that you would ensure my parents¡¯ safety? How could they be kidnapped?¡±


    ¡°The kidnapper said he wanted you to get married, right? He also sent you the video of your parents, right? He also threatened you not to call the police, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s all the Mo Family can do,¡± Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.


    ¡°You... can you stillugh?¡±


    ¡°Fortunately, you didn¡¯t call the police. You can get married now. Your parents will be OK. Don¡¯t worry,¡± Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.


    ¡°Chen Yuanxi, how can I believe you?¡± asked Wang Zhengjuan.


    ¡°You have to believe me. Hold the wedding ceremony several dayster. Didn¡¯t you prepare everything before? Or you can try to call the police.¡± One could not feel Chen Yuanxi¡¯s emotion from his voice. Wang Zhengjuan threw away the phone. For the first time in her life, she fell on the table, holding her and Zhou Nannan¡¯s old photos and crying.


    Wang Zhengjuan¡¯s wedding was a great show.


    Maybe it took her husband more than ten years to get her, so he wanted to tell the whole world about it.


    Many students could not show up, because the invitation was so unexpected, but Zhao Yuan wanted to invite Chen Yuanxi to go with him.


    ¡°I have something else to do. Please... give my best wishes to them. Besides, send more people to look after Nannan,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°Nannan will attend Zhengjuan¡¯s wedding and... be the bridesmaid.¡± Zhao Yuan looked a little sad.


    ¡°It¡¯s like their own wedding, isn¡¯t it?¡± Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.


    Chen Yuanxi gawked at the live show of the wedding ceremony. identally, he erged Zhou Nannan¡¯s facial expression and immediately turned off the video.


    ¡°Wenxi?¡± Zhang Dong came to him and said, ¡°You...¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m okay!¡± Chen Yuanxi said, looking at the tissue delivered by Zhang Dong in fear. He stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself. Tears had already flowed to his cheeks at some time.


    ¡°Zhang Dong, I could have done better, right?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°If there had been a chance,¡± Zhang Dong said as he could not help but get close to Chen Yuanxi. He wiped the tears for him and said, ¡°You even don¡¯t know you are crying. Wenxi, I really hope that one day, you can cry andugh at any time. Looking at you now, I feel...¡± Zhang Dong said and suddenly felt sad. He turned around and went on, ¡°Wenxi, what else can I do besides being by your side?¡±


    ¡°Nothing, there¡¯s nothing you need to do.¡± Chen Yuanxi calmed down. His cell phone rang again. It was Wang Wankun who called him.


    ¡°You said you would keep us safe,¡± said Wang Wankun.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you safe now?¡±


    ¡°But Boss Mo let me go, because he knew my daughter was married.¡±


    ¡°It means you are safer. You can continue to work for the Mo Family in the future.¡±


    ¡°You said you could help me and my wife go to America!¡±


    ¡°There are so many people to go to America that you are not in the n for the time being.¡±


    ¡°Chen Yuanxi! You!¡±


    ¡°Perform the following tasks the Mo Family will give you. Remember not to get involved in the criminal cases. When the final battlees in the future, I will help you apply formutation because of your contribution.¡± After that, Chen Yuanxi hung up.


    Zhang Dong curiously asked, ¡°You... got something for nothing, didn¡¯t you?¡±


    ¡°Maybe I did.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi said and deleted the microblog that had been put the other day.


    A few days ago, on the Qingming Festival, Chen Yuanxi asked Zheng Kai to do something. He knew that Hong Xuan would appear there. The letter brought to Hong Xuan said, ¡°Try your best to dy the kidnapping of Wang Wankun and don¡¯t stop until I write down OK on my microblog.¡±


    ¡°I have got two pieces of evidence, but there is almost no evidence rted to Chen Tianjiao. I wonder whether Uncle Hong Xuan has found any evidence in recent years. And if he has found, who did he give the evidence to?¡±


    Chen Yuanxi thought about it for a long time. Suddenly, he was enlightened. ¡°Mo Qian seems to be at odds with Chen Tianjiao. What if I target at Chen Tianjiao?¡±


    That night, Zhao Yuan asked Chen Yuanxi to go to his residence.


    ¡°Don¡¯t question me anymore. I know what you will ask,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°You have cheated both Wang Zhengjuan and her parents, haven¡¯t you?¡± Zhao Yuan asked.


    ¡°So what? Her father and mother have stewed in their own juice. They will run their course in the Mo Family, which is none of my business. Enough, don¡¯t bother me with these little things. I can¡¯t think of any other way to get the evidence of Chen Tianjiao now. Tell me, do you have any idea?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°Yuanxi, they and us... are the same. Wasn¡¯t there any other way? At least, we should have a discussion in advance. Maybe there would be a better way,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    Chen Yuanxi kept silent.


    ¡°Can¡¯t you work a little harder and help them...¡± At today¡¯s wedding, Zhao Yuan could not bear to see Zhou Nannan¡¯s eyes.


    In the past six years, Lin Wenxi did not know how hard the couple had gone, but Zhao Yuan felt the same.


    Zhou Nannan wanted to apany Wang Zhengjuan to go abroad for further study, but her parents strongly opposed it. Under great pressure, Wang Zhengjuan gave up the admission to university and stayed with Zhou Nannan. Even if their families did not provide them with money, they supported each other and worked hard for part-time jobs until graduation.


    But after graduation, they knew that the outside world was not as gentle and uncontested as the university. Dreams are beautiful, but the reality is very cruel. Here, Wang Zhengjuan could not dere sovereignty over Zhou Nannan to anyone anymore. Both of them were excellent. When they faced with boys who liked them, they were upset and it often took pains to get rid of those boys. Sometimes, because of their own helplessness and misunderstanding, they were angry with each other and their rtionship got further and further apart. Finally, the two chose to give up the coexistence of social life and their work. Since then Zhou Nannan worked at home, while Wang Zhengjuan opened a taekwondo club with the help of Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin. After painstaking management, they opened a coffee shop that Zhou Nannan most wanted to own.


    During that time, the men living in dormitory 216 and women living in dormitory 419 almost assembled every day to renovate the shop. Zheng Kai was responsible for the fire safety. Zhou Nannan and Wang Xiang were responsible for the overall decoration andyout of the shop. Zhao Yuan, Shu Xiaoman, and Chen Wanxin tried their best to attract customers and find employees. Zhang An¡¯an assisted in advertising.


    Since Lin Wenxi left, in addition to working hard for BC Company, Chen Wanxin had been trying to find a way to repair the rtionship with her college ssmates. Although because of what had happened, Zhao Yuan and Shu Xiaoman hated Chen Wanxin, and Wang Xiang and Zhou Nannan also were indifferent to her at that time, they still maintained a semnce of peace. In the past few years, they had been fighting for their own lives, making it difficult for ssmates to get together again. Struggling in the society, people were like the friendless wind. Because of that chance, they reunited and once again felt the friendships with ssmates that they had not experienced for years, and thus so many things had faded away.


    In the eyes of others, they were elites who were financial dependent. Only Zhao Yuan knew that the joys, sorrows, pains, and difficulties they had experienced, which he also bore in mind and was proud of. He believed that by the time Lin Wenxi and he met again, both of them would have avenged. At that time, they could take up the wine cup and chat merrily and talk about all kinds of these years under the starry sky and moon in a remote vige. The water was silent and they would notin about the sorrow.


    It could be said that Zhou Nannan and Wang Zhengjuan bore Zhao Yuan¡¯s yearning for life in the future. No matter how the world changed, Zhao Yuan always had such hope in his mind. With the expectations for them, the longing for Lin Wenxi, and the deep hatred in his heart, Zhao Yuan was able to hold on until now and had not turned crazy.


    If Wang Zhengjuan had not bitten her tongue when she was drinking in pain, and if she had not been out of control, cried and said everything to Zhao Yuan in private when she saw Zhao Yuan, Zhao Yuan would never know that it was Lin Wenxi who destroyed all this, who he regarded as thest ideal town.


    ¡°It wouldn¡¯t be like this if Wenxi has other ways. He¡¯s sad, too! Today, he...¡± Zhang Dong finally could not help saying.


    ¡°Stop!¡± Chen Yuanxi frowned and stopped Zhang Dong. ¡°Let¡¯s discuss how to investigate Chen Tianjiao...¡±


    Zhao Yuan said angrily, ¡°You only care about that! Isn¡¯t Zhang Dong around you? Why don¡¯t you ask for his idea?¡±


    Zhang Dong said slowly, ¡°Zhao Yuan, you shouldn¡¯t be angry with Wenxi!¡±


    ¡°Zhang Dong, you¡¯re not allowed to talk!¡± Zhao Yuan suddenly snapped, ¡°Do you know how much effort I have made to solve your problems? If you can¡¯t take good care of Wenxi, what are you staying with him for? For ying in the water?¡±


    Chen Yuanxi looked at Zhao Yuan incredulously and said, ¡°Zhao Yuan, who are you insulting?¡±


    ¡°I saw it all!¡± Zhao Yuan said in a cold voice.


    ¡°I was so happy that I was impolite to Wenxi at that time. I admit I didn¡¯t control myself. But if you are angry, vent your anger on me. Wenxi is innocent!¡± Zhang Dong was a little worried.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, do you know how many people you brought trouble to when you joined the Mo Family? How many girls did you use? When you pointed the knife at me, did you think about my feeling, even if you didn¡¯t really want to hurt me?¡± Chen Yuanxi said in a cold voice, ¡°ying in the water? I¡¯m afraid that you and Chen Wanxin have done it many times!¡±


    ¡°You... but what you are doing now will destroy their whole lives! Yuanxi, you didn¡¯t attend the wedding, because you were afraid, weren¡¯t you?¡± Zhao Yuan could not help but feel angry.


    ¡°What did you call me?¡± Chen Yuanxi could not help standing up, picked up the books on the desk, and threw them at Zhao Yuan¡¯s head and face.


    Zhao Yuan stood up and said as he dodged, ¡°You¡¯ve changed your name. Why can¡¯t I call you like that!¡±


    ¡°Zhao Yuan! Get out of here!¡± Chen Yuanxi pointed at the door and shouted loudly.


    ¡°I won¡¯t leave. I¡¯m not like you!¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Fine! I¡¯ll leave!¡± Chen Yuanxi was so angry that he trembled all over and his eyes were full of tears.


    ¡°Lin Wenxi! Stop!¡± Zhao Yuan screamed and rushed up to hold Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°Where are you going to this time? It was you who left every time! You left me to teach in rural areas! You ran away in an earthquake! You also left me when we went out together! Atst, atst you left me another six years.¡±


    ¡°If you leave again, I¡¯ll leave, too!¡±


    Zhao Yuan hugged Chen Yuanxi tightly, and unexpectedly cried.


    Zhang Dong turned his back and closed the door.


    ¡°Every time I left, it was because of you! Zhao Yuan... let me go!¡± On looking back on the past, Chen Yuanxi could not help crying and said, ¡°I am Chen Yuanxi! Just as you said, I am Chen Yuanxi!¡±


    Chen Yuanxi bit Zhao Yuan on the chest, who then suddenly trembled and released his hands, ¡°At the beginning, you did the same to me...¡±


    Chen Yuanxi let go of the door handle and said, ¡°Probably, we have never been able to go the same way.¡±


    ¡°People who is close to you benefits first, right? He did that to you twice, but you can still keep him by your side...¡± Zhao Yuan suddenly felt despair in his heart and could not help crying out.


    Chen Yuanxi sneered and said, ¡°Zhao Yuan, aren¡¯t you going to marry Chen Wanxin? You two swore again in front of your father¡¯s grave, didn¡¯t you? Hurry up and get the marriage certificate! It¡¯s none of my business who you will marry!¡± On the night of Qingming Festival, Chen Yuanxi found that Zheng Kai¡¯s mood was strange when he called him. As for the reason why Zheng Kai had worshiped Zhao Mingjiang in private, Chen Yuanxi did not dare to investigate.


    ¡°Wenxi, I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s my fault...¡± It seemed that Zhao Yuan¡¯s weakness had been attacked and he apologized to Lin Wenxi.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to hear about it. Anyway, it¡¯s the best thing that you can still have sex with a woman, so you don¡¯t have to go with me in the future...¡± Chen Yuanxi seemed to be crazy at the moment. He also did not understand why he was so angry. He seemed to lose control. He called Zhang Dong in, rushed up, and kissed him. Then he shouted to Zhao Yuan in tears, ¡°Get married quickly! Go to get married! I¡¯ll be with him!¡±


    Seeing that Zhao Yuan did not respond, Chen Yuanxi suddenly stamped his feet, threw himself on Zhao Yuan, and beat him again. Then he broke things hysterically and ran away crying.


    Zhao Yuan had been standing in the center of the house, with his fists clenched. Then he suddenly hit the wall severely for a while. And finally he ran to Chen Yuanxi¡¯s house in a crazy way.


    Zhao Yuan waited downstairs for a long time, but Chen Yuanxi did note back. Then he sat at the door most of the night. During this period, Shu Xiaoman had been sending messages to him to discuss the affairs of listing on WeChat. Finally, Zhao Yuan had to buy a ticket and went back to City G that night.


    At that moment, Chen Yuanxi, who was already drunk, and Zhang Dong were sitting side by side by the river.


    Zhang Dong hugged Chen Yuanxi into his arms and covered him with his coat. Atst, one did not have nightmares and fell asleep, and the other sat by the river for a night.

 Chapter 228 (Why Haven’t I Dreamt About You) Chen Yuanxi Seems to be Dreaming about Zhang Dong

    <h4>Chapter 228 (Why Haven¡¯t I Dreamt About You) Chen Yuanxi Seems to be Dreaming about Zhang Dong</h4>


    On the marsnd, the foundation had been newlyid. In a short time, there would be many houses standing here.


    Chen Yuanxi came there and sat down quietly, imagining how Zhang Dong fell under the gun of Hong Xuan that night.


    Chen Yuanxi could not understand why Hong Xuan was so cruel to Zhang Dong before he died. He thought about it and suddenly thought it through. ¡°Because he shouldn¡¯t love me. He loves me, so his life has to pay the price.¡±


    ¡°If I were a girl, maybe Hong Xuan would have hijacked him to help us.¡±


    But then he fell into a deeper confusion.


    ¡°Zhang Dong, why were you so stupid that you would rather die? Why didn¡¯t you choose to agree to uncle Hong Xuan? You need to be flexible when it¡¯s urgent. There would be a solution in the future! You have learned from me for more than two years, but you¡¯re still as upright as Zheng Kai!¡±


    Chen Yuanxi smiled bitterly and madly. He was lying in the sand outside the foundation, smiling. He forced himself to sleep. He hoped that he could dream of Zhang Dong.


    He did dream of Zhang Dong.


    What he dreamed was the night more than ten years ago. What he dreamed was Zhang Dong who was saying, ¡°Attention! Stand at ease!¡± What he dreamed was the photo he was taken of when he suddenly slipped in front and then turned around.


    He dreamed that he said while holding a dagger, ¡°My life is yours.¡±


    He dreamed that he pped his chest with righteousness and said, ¡°I¡¯m Zhang Dong, arrogant Zhang Dong!¡±


    He dreamed that being pointed by Hong Xuan¡¯s gun, Zhang Dong slightly smiled, turned around, and disappeared from then on.


    ¡°The soul seems to enter the dream. Who is in front of the window? And who is dressing up?¡±


    ¡°If not, why haven¡¯t I dreamed of you since then?¡±


    ¡°Wenxi, I think instructor Zhang was desperate,¡± said Gu Xi.


    ¡°Why was he desperate? Why?¡±


    ¡°Wenxi, have you really loved him? You wanted to be with him, because you wanted him to clean up his act tomute his sentence, or you really love him?¡± asked Gu Xi.


    Chen Yuanxi shook his head.


    ¡°You don¡¯t know? Wen Xi, I¡¯m asking you, do you love Zhao Yuan? You needn¡¯t answer, because I know your answer. But you said you don¡¯t know whether you love Zhang Dong. Wenxi, I haven¡¯t seen you for so many years, so that I can¡¯t understand you,¡± said Gu Xi. Suddenly, he gave up and showed apromised smile.


    ¡°Were you desperate? Do you think that you can walk away quietly in this way?¡±


    ¡°If there is a next life, I believe you and him will meet again. Then, are you willing to be a man or a woman?¡± Gu Xi had to say that tofort Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°I¡¯d rather disappearpletely and not beg for the next life from God! I¡¯ve suffered a lot in this life. What should I do with the next life?¡± Chen Yuanxi said indifferently.


    ¡°If I can decide my own destiny, I will not let God send me to this fucking world!¡± Chen Yuanxi hammered his head painfully.


    ¡°I still hope to see what fate I will have and then decide how I will die,¡± Gu Xi smiled and said, ¡°I hope that Zheng Kai will still be Zheng Kai in the next life. Wanxin won¡¯t fall in love with others. I hope that I still will be his brother. That¡¯s enough.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi hugged Gu Xi. He knew that Gu Xi was happy, so Gu Xi was full of hope. He felt happy for Gu Xi, but his life had changed from a fairy tale to a joke.


    Chen Yuanxi was sitting on the edge of the tallest building in the city and looking at the south. No one knew how he climbed up.


    It was at dusk, but he was still sitting there. The setting sun made everything soft. Even those armored concrete and hard building shapes were inexplicably warm. It was another night, and another day had passed. Chen Yuanxi searched himself and found that he had smoked two packs of cigarettes. Suddenly, he was inexplicably held by someone from behind, and he was so scared that he failed to keep stable and almost fell down and died.


    Fortunately, the man hugged him tightly. He turned around and saw that it was a tough, handsome firefighter, much younger than him.


    Of course, it was veryfortable to be held by the firefighter, so Chen Yuanxi did not resist. He even leaned his head on the firefighter¡¯s shoulder and put his arms around his waist. He was soon escorted to the ambnce, and then he realized that he had been treated as a suicide attempt.


    Before getting on the ambnce, Chen Yuanxi smiled bitterly at the shing mobile phones of the people who did not know the truth.


    Although Chen Yuanxi had repeatedly exined that he just climbed up to rx himself and had no idea of suicide, he was fined for disturbing public order, and was patiently persuaded by a psychiatrist. Naturally, this matter was reported on a certain section of the local newspaper, which said, ¡°The Former Secretary¡¯s Son Wanted to Jump from the Building, and the Firefighter Was Desperate to Save Him.¡±


    The next day, looking at the newspaper, Chen Yuanxiughed and almost cried. ¡°The fact is that I was so scared that I almost fell to death. If the firefighter were not so handsome, I wouldin about it.¡±


    Zheng Kai and Gu Xi, as rtives, were invited to pick up Chen Yuanxi.


    Chen Yuanxi was shaken by Zheng Kai and Gu Xi.


    ¡°Mo Qian is not dead, how could youmit suicide?¡± asked Zheng Kai loudly.


    ¡°If he is dead, can Imit suicide?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°Er...¡± Zheng Kai paused and continued, ¡°If he is dead, you still can¡¯tmit suicide.¡±


    ¡°You all go. I know what to do,¡± said Chen Yuanxi. At least Zheng Kai was right. There was a man who was not dead.


    That night, the airport in the small town.


    ¡°Do you mean it¡¯s just a misunderstanding? Is Wenxi OK?¡± asked Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Of course, it¡¯s OK. How could Wenximit suicide? He is such a powerful man. Come here as soon as possible. I haven¡¯t had a good drink with you since I opened my training school for so long.¡± Zheng Kai said with a smile on the phone.


    The baby sitter¡¯s phone then rang.


    ¡°Mengyuan and Mengxi have been crying. Xiaoman is lying in bed and having a severe fever. Mr. Zhao, I¡¯m so busy that I almost want to die... what should I do?¡±


    Zhao Yuan walked out of the airport, hailed a taxi, opened the door, and paused for a moment. Then he threw a hundred yuan to the driver, returned again, and bought the ticket back to City G that night.


    Chen Yuanxi and Gu Xi worked together to take away Zheng Kai¡¯s cell phone. When he went to the prison to visit Chen Wanxi, he even managed to bring his mobile phone in and recorded a video for Chen Wanxin.


    Suddenly, a piece of message showed up.


    Chen Yuanxi returned the mobile phone to Zheng Kai with a smile and left immediately. Zheng Kai saw the message from Zhao Yuan on his mobile phone.


    ¡°Sorry, I have something to do tonight and have toe back first. Let¡¯s get together next time!¡±


    ¡°The rule of self-injury is only useful for those who have hope, don¡¯t you know? I¡¯ll never use it again.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi took a bus that night to visit Zhang An¡¯an, who was taking care of the baby in Wang Xiang¡¯s hometown.


    ¡°I came here just to take a drop of your blood,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°Then, everything depends on you.¡± Zhang An¡¯an smiled miserably.


    ¡°For the sake of Shixiang, take good care of yourself.¡± Chen Yuanxi said briefly and left in a hurry.


    ¡°Remember to... let him die!¡± Zhang An¡¯an murmured and the baby in her arms suddenly opened her mouth and cried.

 Chapter 202 (Wenxi, It’s My Fault) Lin Wenxi Frames Chen Tianjiao and Zhao Yuan by Hurting Himself

    <h4>Chapter 202 (Wenxi, It¡¯s My Fault) Lin Wenxi Frames Chen Tianjiao and Zhao Yuan by Hurting Himself</h4>


    Chapter 202 (Wenxi, It¡¯s My Fault) Lin Wenxi Frames Chen Tianjiao and Zhao Yuan by Hurting Himself


    There was a big change in BC Company. Chen Wanxin resigned as president and served as vice president of thepany. Chen Yuanxi, the former vice president, took office immediately as president of thepany.


    At the same time, a piece of encouraging news came from YH Company. Through the issuance examinationmittee, thepany had published the Listing Announcement, and submitted it to the exchange for approval. Thepany would be listed soon.


    Chen Wanxin, feeling bored, was sitting in the office, holding her chin, and looking out at the figure who had changed his duty ce to the downstairs of her office. It rained sparsely after the Qingming Festival, but the man stood still there. It seemed that it had be a habit to see the man through the window of the office almost every day.


    ¡°In the future, security guards are allowed to take umbres when they are on duty.¡± Chen Wanxin was in charge of it and sent out the email.


    After a while, Luo Yang came in and said, ¡°Wanxin, I got the news that Chen Yuanxi felt ufortable when he saw a picture of the murder scene on the Inte just now.¡±


    ¡°Is that right? We finally know his weakness,¡± Chen Wanxin smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s up to you that what to do next.¡±


    At night, Zhang Dong and Zheng Kai were standing downstairs.


    ¡°Why haven¡¯t you been caught?¡± Zheng Kai asked curiously, ¡°You are still wanted.¡±


    ¡°There are many cases in this bustling town. Few people still care about the case happened seven years ago.¡± Zhang Dong smiled.


    ¡°You¡¯re standing here carelessly and wear a pair of sunsses at any time to show of yourself. Aren¡¯t you afraid that someone will call the police?¡±


    ¡°Even if there are police now, it¡¯s still unknown that whether they could catch me, Zhang Shouxi.¡±


    ¡°You even changed you name to such a...¡±


    ¡°Just like you, who wish can change name to Zheng Shouxin.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not that disgusting. I¡¯ll change it to Zheng Aixin at most.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s so girly,¡± Zhang Dong said with a smile.


    ¡°Hey, I know you follow Wenxi every day. Tell me how he drove Wanxin out of the position?¡± asked Zheng Kai.


    ¡°Ability is everything,¡± said Zhang Dong.


    ¡°F*ck you!¡± Zheng Kai was speechless. Suddenly, they heard a scream upstairs. It was Chen Yuanxi¡¯s voice! They look at each other and run away.


    Chen Yuanxi stared at the package in front of him, unable to speak.


    Inside the package was a bloody broken arm.


    Zhang Dong weighed it and said, ¡°It¡¯s stic.¡±


    Zheng Kai touched the paint and looked at the cover, saying, ¡°I¡¯ll check the ce around thepany. The rest needs to be handled by the police.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi waved and said, ¡°No. I know who sent it.¡±


    Zheng Kai looked at Chen Yuanxi with great confusion. Chen Yuanxi just shook his head weakly and said, ¡°Zheng Kai, go back earlier, or I will fire you.¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t you say something new?¡± asked Zheng Kai.


    ¡°Or I¡¯ll fire your whole team,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    Zheng Kai held a pen in his mouth and went out with hands sped at the back.


    ¡°Wenxi, who sent it?¡± asked Zhang Dong.


    ¡°The only person who can observe me at such a close distance is my secretary, who is sent by Chen Wanxin,¡± Chen Yuanxi said, ¡°Let¡¯s go back first.¡±


    That night, Chen Yuanxi was almost sleepless all night.


    ¡°Wenxi, may I make a request?¡± Zhang Dong was in a hurry.


    ¡°Say it.¡±


    ¡°Pleasee with me.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi was puzzled why Zhang Dong took him to the riverside at night. The riverside lights were bright and dazzling. The wind there smelt fishy, which he really did not like.


    They seemed to go back to that night and sit in the same ce.


    ¡°Sleep, Wenxi.¡±


    Two sweaters were padded on the deck chair. Zhang Dong made Chen Yuanxi¡¯s head lean on his arms, and covered Chen Yuanxi with his coat.


    Chen Yuanxi felt tears in his eyes.


    The river breeze was blowing, and it was cool in early summer. It seemed that Chen Yuanxi had been intoxicated with a piece of hypnotic music and fell asleep slowly. In the past, only when he and Zhao Yuan embraced each other and fell asleep could he be so tranquil.


    Suddenly, two arms were put around Zhang Dong¡¯s waist, who was a little surprised. Looking at the sleeping man in his arms, Zhang Dong smiled.


    The next day, Chen Yuanxi did not go to work. He only told Chen Wanxin to manage thepany and dismissed his secretary.


    On the third day, Chen Yuanxi still did note.


    After Chen Tianjiao learned about the situation, he saw his pale son in the hospital.


    ¡°He can¡¯t sleep at night, and is often awakened by nightmares. Our psychiatrist doesn¡¯t work with him. He resists hypnosis, and it¡¯s also hard to hypnotize him,¡± the attending physician said helplessly.


    Until now, Chen Tianjiao knew that his only son had been threatened.


    ¡°You have always been in good health and decisive. How could you be scared like that?¡± Chen Tianjiao stroked Chen Yuanxi¡¯s head, and his eyes were full of anxiety.


    ¡°I failed to protect the young master.¡± Zhang Dong took hold of his hair and med himself.


    Chen Tianjiao yelled, ¡°Of course it¡¯s your fault!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not his fault... Dad, ording to the rules, private bodyguards are not allowed to enter our office,¡± Chen Yuanxi said with a trembling voice.


    The attending doctor said, ¡°We checked his medical history and consulted his doctors in the United States, who said that he was really easy to be frightened. His body is in good condition. It¡¯s a psychological problem. His psychiatrists in the United States also said that he was better when drugs and psychotherapy werebined. Moreover, it is said that Mr. Chen¡¯s bedroom is never equipped with lights, which may have something to do with long-term psychological depression.¡±


    ¡°My son, I thought you were always in good health. Why didn¡¯t you mention those to me?¡± Chen Tianjiao asked.


    When Chen Yuanxi heard that, his tears rushed out.


    Chen Tianjiao was deeply grieved and took his hand. For a moment, he did not know what to do.


    ¡°I miss my mother. I don¡¯t think I belong here.¡± Chen Yuanxi said with sobs.


    ¡°I¡¯m looking for her. I have tried my best.¡± Chen Tianjiao seemed to be defeated in a moment, and his gray hair was dazzling under the setting sun.


    Zhang Dong could not help saying while frowning, ¡°Boss, young master has been stopping me from telling you. I¡¯ll tell you the truth today!¡±


    ¡°Zhang Dong, get out of here. You¡¯re not allowed to talk here!¡± Chen Yuanxi said in a sharp voice. Because of being angry, he suddenly felt dizzy.


    Chen Tianjiao hurried to go out with Zhang Dong to have a talk.


    ¡°Not long after the young master came home, Wanxin uploaded the pictures of Lin Ziwei¡¯s corpse into hisputer. I heard that when the young master once had a nightmare, he kept saying earth and debris flow, and almost choked to death, but nobody cared about him... This is what I heard from Brother Fu,¡± Zhang Dong said, ¡°After all, the young master has lived with Lin Ziwei for 19 years. Although their rtionship is not deep, Lin Ziwei has never let him see those bloody people, so he has never been stimted like that! A few days ago, the disgusting thing in his office even frightened me, not to mention him.¡±


    ¡°Well, did you take pictures of it? Did you call the police?¡± asked Chen Tianjiao.


    ¡°We took photos, but Yuanxi refused to call the police and said he knows who sent it to him. He only fired his secretary, who should be sent by Wan Xin when he came to thepany,¡± said Zhang Dong.


    ¡°Young master... don¡¯t want to ruin the harmony,¡± said Zhang Dong, who was a little depressed.


    ¡°All right, I see.¡± Chen Tianjiao frowned slightly.


    Chen Yuanxi indeed cannot sleep at night, even in the hospital. However, the man that showed up in the hospital that night might be able to help him sleep well for several nights.


    Zhao Yuan finally heard everything. He hurried back from City G. It waste at night when he came back. At that time, people of the Chen Family had left, and only Zhang Dong and four bodyguards were standing on guard faithfully.


    ¡°Go there and have a rest. Leave it to me.¡± Zhang Dong waved and threw two packets of cigarettes to the bodyguards, who then retreated quietly and went to smoke to divert themselves from boredom.


    As soon as Zhao Yuan entered, Chen Yuanxi woke up from his bed and called for Zhang Dong.


    ¡°It¡¯s me,¡± Zhao Yuan said softly.


    On hearing Zhao Yuan¡¯s voice, Chen Yuanxi calmed down.


    Zhao Yuan held Chen Yuanxi¡¯s hand and covered them on his face. Then he put Chen Yuanxi¡¯s hand into his arms and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Wenxi.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi drew back his hand, silent and speechless.


    ¡°At this time, shouldn¡¯t Zhang Dong be here? After all, he is close to me and can benefit first, doesn¡¯t he?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°Wenxi, have a good rest. It¡¯s all my fault.¡± Zhao Yuan gently stroked Chen Yuanxi¡¯s forehead, kissed him deeply, and spent half an hour lying in bed with him. When he left, Chen Yuanxi had already fallen asleep.


    ¡°Only you can do it.¡± Zhang Dong passed a cigarette to Zhao Yuan and smiled.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± asked Zhao Yuan.


    Zhang Dong repeated what he said to Chen Tianjiao.


    ¡°Go in and apany him. He will wake up at midnight, but I can¡¯t help him. These men are all my brothers, and can be trusted,¡± said Zhang Dong.


    That night, Zhao Yuan embraced Chen Yuanxi for a whole night and refused to let go.


    The next day, Chen Yuanxi opened his eyes, hugged Zhao Yuan¡¯s neck, and smiled sweetly to him. Zhao Yuan immediately decided not to say what Shu Xiaoman said to him.


    Shu Xiaoman was injured when she helped Chen Yuanxi to deal with the affairs, and asked for leave. However, she did note to thepany for more than a month. Later, she said something had happened to her family and applied to retain the job but suspend the sry, and asked one of her subordinates to temporarily rece her. Before asking for leave, Shu Xiaoman told Zhao Yuan everything Chen Yuanxi asked her to do.


    ¡°I will only tell you about Wenxi. I will not betray him if I talk with you, will I?¡± Shu Xiaoman only left thest sentence when she left.


    Zhou Nannan cared about Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi from time to time, for fear that they might quarrel. Wang Zhengjuan also tentatively inquired about the situation. Fortunately, Zhao Yuan yed to the score and sessfully handled it. However, Lin Wenxi deceived Wang Zhengjuan again and again, framed her parents, and ignored their safety, which made Zhao Yuan very sad.


    But all these things were not important when he saw Chen Yuanxi¡¯s pale face.


    Zhao Yuan disappeared automatically in the daytime, and came to the hospital in the evening. He apanied Chen Yuanxi for three whole nights, who miraculously recovered. The next day, Zhao Yuan rushed to Inner Mongolia because something had happened there. The two were distressed at parting.


    ¡°Wenxi, I don¡¯t think you need to use this to Zhao Yuan,¡± Zhang Dong said with a smile.


    Chen Yuanxi chuckled, and looked a little shy. Since the day they knew each other, Chen Yuanxi realized that there was no other way to deal with Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°By the way, we found out something about the olddy,¡± Zhang Dong said happily.


    ¡°Although the old woman lost all her memory, she still remembers her own daughter, Liu Xuehua!¡± said Zhang Dong.


    ¡°What! Liu Xuehua!¡± Chen Yuanxi was so shocked that his whole body had goose bumps for a while.

 Chapter 203 (Zhao Yuan’s Grandmother) Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining.

    <h4>Chapter 203 (Zhao Yuan¡¯s Grandmother) Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining.</h4>


    Others might not know who Liu Xuehua was, but Chen Yuanxi knew very well that she was Zhao Yuan¡¯s birth mother. Then that old woman was Zhao Yuan¡¯s grandmother! But he had never heard Zhao Yuan mention his grandmother. It seemed that there was another story in Yangzi County.


    Zhang Dong was appointed as his secretary and bodyguard by Chen Yuanxi, which was an indisputable thing in anyone¡¯s minds.


    Zhang Dong visited Yangzi County, the hometown of Zhao Yuan, and learned from the local people that more than ten years ago, after Liu Xuehua disappeared, Zhu Hui, Liu Xuehua¡¯s mother, knew her daughter¡¯s miserable experience and was so sad that she turned mad and ran away. Her family had searched for her for many years afterwards, but did not find her.


    ¡°Don¡¯t mention it to A¡¯yuan. Once A¡¯yuan contacts grandma, Chen Tianjiao will know it. Chen Tianjiao knows grandma¡¯s identity. Maybe because she is crazy, Chen Tianjiao has always asked you to take care of her for different reasons every year. But what¡¯s his purpose? Does he do it out of surveince or guilt? Go to investigate the rtionship between Chen Tianjiao and grandma,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    Zhang Dong nodded, and felt that Chen Yuanxi actually called that old woman grandma directly. Thinking about it, he could not help shaking his head and smiling.


    ¡°By the way, why can you make investigations so smoothly now?¡± Chen Yuanxi asked with a smile.


    ¡°Wenxi, it¡¯s uncle Lin¡¯s previous subordinates who cooperate with Zhao Yuan in Inner Mongolia. And I guess people cooperate with me in Yangzi County are also uncle Lin¡¯s previous subordinates. I think after recognizing you, uncle Hong Xuan has contacted uncle Lin¡¯s previous subordinates in different ces. Except for him, no one is able to make use of so many people,¡± said Zhang Dong.


    ¡°But he has...¡± Chen Yuanxi thought of Hong Xuan¡¯s appearance and felt painful.


    ¡°Uncle Hong Xuan and uncle Lin have been in business for so many years. How could they lose to Chen Tianjiao if they hadn¡¯t adhered to formalities rigidly? They have their own ways to contact each other. See, uncle Hong Xuan found you... But he is too cruel!¡± Zhang Dong was a little annoyed.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. At that time, he thought I was Chen Yuanxi. But, even if he knew I was Lin Wenxi, he would also scare me with that and wanted me to shrink back from difficulties. I was... too weak,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°You¡¯ve never seen that before, s!¡± Zhang Dong frowned.


    ¡°Enough, it¡¯s already happened. At least I¡¯ve slept well these days. I¡¯m asking you, did grandma tell you about Aunt Liu in public or in private?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°She talked with me in the room, and there was no one else.¡±


    ¡°Find a way to let others know that grandma is not in good health, and send her to the hospital. Although she has lost her memory, it was you who had exposed yourself so that she let you know such important information. I think she is still awake in some aspects,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    Zhao Yuan sent messages to Chen Yuanxi from Inner Mongolia. He and others continued to investigate Wang Chang, and found that Wang Chang had had a close rtionship with the man who had scared Wang Luyao to death in City A before he died. But since Wang Chang died, that man also disappeared.


    ¡°Yuan, I think Mo Qian may order uncle Hong Xuan to chase and kill that man. I have contacted uncle Hong Xuan twice, and there is no other way. Do you have any other idea?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°Hong Yan and his wife can be excluded first. He won¡¯t put his daughter in danger,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense! I want you to give me an actual n, president Zhao of the listedpany.¡±


    ¡°You also know that I¡¯m the president of the newly listedpany. I¡¯m very busy.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ll get a prize if you think of a way. You can do whatever you want,¡± Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.


    ¡°You little b*tch...¡± Zhao Yuan could not help scolding.


    ¡°You¡¯re a son of a b*tch,¡± Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.


    Zhao Yuan suddenly said, ¡°Do you remember the Wangs in City A?¡±


    The family had determined to avenge their daughter, but failed in the end, and Chen Yuanxi had asked them to wait patiently.


    Zhao Yuan said, ¡°If Hong Xuan is going to kill that man, he will definitely go to City A. Then he is likely to contact the Wangs there. After a few years, the Wangs not only have been forgotten by the Mo Family, but also know both you and Hong Xuan. If they can be trusted, I think there must be something left to them.¡±


    They could just have a try.


    Things went better than they thought.


    Hong Xuan left a box with a fingerprint lock in City A. Only when Chen Yuanxi¡¯s fingerprints of ten fingers were recorded, could it be opened. Inside it was a list of officials.


    Chen Yuanxi could not help being filled with tears when he saw it.


    Everything here was left by Lin Ziwei¡¯s previous subordinates, who were still loyal and scattered in different ces!


    ¡°I¡¯ll leave only two words to you. If that manes again, tell him ¡®don¡¯t kill¡¯!¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°I¡¯ll keep it in mind!¡± said Mr. Wang solemnly.


    ¡°No matter you are president Chen or Lin Wenxi, we¡¯ll trust you as long as Hong Xuan trust you. Do you remember what you said in face of my daughter¡¯s tablet?¡± Mr. Wang looked very gaunt. Although they had a son now, they still could not forget how their daughter died. After their daughter¡¯s death, they had been waiting for nearly eight years, and finally met Chen Yuanxi again.


    ¡°I still remember it. And you also need to remember forever, understand?¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    Mr. Wang nodded with tears in his eyes, ¡°I wouldn¡¯t tell others if I was dying.¡±


    ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t know anything. No one left the box, and no one came to take it. You have a son now, and you have forgotten what had happened in that year, do you understand? Or you¡¯ll lose your little son! We will not meet again after this time,¡± Chen Yuanxi said, and left with the box.


    Mrs. Wang asked her husband, ¡°What does Lin Wenxi mean?¡±


    Mr. Wang said in a deep voice, ¡°Just do it!¡±


    Chen Yuanxi clearly realized that the man would definitely die. If Hong Xuan could get his message in advance, he should be able to know something from that man. There were more and more pieces of evidence about the Mo Family, while there was little about Chen Tianjiao. Except for an unimportant matter about Wang Wankun, they had found out nothing.


    But with such a list, many things seemed to be easy.


    First of all, it was found that Chen Tianjiao actually graduated from the primary school where Zhu Hui had practiced as a teacher. Zhu Hui had done something good to him, but the two had no rtionship since Chen Tianjiao graduated. Then, they knew that there were already people in Beijing who supported petitions and were preparing for it. After that, it was told that at the ce where Lin Ziwei was killed, some vigers saw strangers appear, but they were afraid to say it out because of threats. Then, Captain Cao, the leader of one team in the former Yangzi County police station, told Chen Yuanxi that he had been deliberately harassed when he investigated the case, which he had reported to his superiors, but it was useless. He also told Chen Yuanxi that he had found out that a lot of mud had been lost at a construction site.


    A lot of details came to the surface gradually.


    Chen Yuanxi dared not act rashly and alert the enemy. He firmly remembered that Hong Xuan had said that Mo Qian would kill people at first once he realized the threat.


    Now Zhu Hui was of great importance to investigate Chen Tianjiao.

 Chapter 204 (It’s Your Turn!) It’s Time for the Last Fight

    <h4>Chapter 204 (It¡¯s Your Turn!) It¡¯s Time for the Last Fight</h4>


    Because of that list, Chen Yuanxi changed his n. He asked Zhu Hui to leave the hospital first. In a few days, he asked a previous subordinate of Lin Ziwei to arrange somebody to take her to a sanatorium secretly.


    There, she could receive good care from psychiatrists.


    A startling transcript and video came from Zhu Hui.


    Zhu Hui left home because she saw her daughter jump into the river, who had drown when she was finally rescued. At that time, a group of people came, forcibly took the body away, and cremated it. She could not stand the stimtion, so she turned mad and ran out of Yangzi County. Later, her condition improved, but intermittently. After knowing the changes of her son-inw, she did not dare to go back and lived there.


    It was unknown when Chen Tianjiao knew that she was her primary school teacher, and found out her. Seeing that she was delirious, but still could take care of herself, Chen Tianjiao asked Zhang Dong to appear once a year to help her deal with some troubles.


    And she had kept silent for ten years because of illness. When Zhang Dong sincerely mentioned Zhao Yuan to her, showed her pictures of her grandson, and mentioned Lin Ziwei, who had helped her family in those years, she finally chose to put all her eggs in one basket and believed this very diligent and honest young man.


    ording to the confession, Zhu Hui still remembered the name of the person who had robbed her daughter¡¯s corpse. It was a young man who had participated in smashing her house.


    From this a huge trap was set.


    When Chen Yuanxi saw that Zhu Hui was well protected, he felt relieved and wanted Zhao Yuan toe back to see her, one of his few alive rtives in the world.


    When Zhu Hui was sober, she only longed to hear the news that his daughter and son-inw had been vindicated, which had been supporting her. When she was mad, she begged for food everywhere, which had led her to contract many diseases. When she saw Chen Yuanxi, she found that he was so gorgeous and it was the first time in the past few years that an official came to investigate this matter. She was overjoyed and also very sad when she thought about the past. At the age of 75, she passed away with the photo of her grandson Zhao Yuan in her arms.


    All the evidence had been found. At that time, Zhao Yuan was about to go to the United States to find the man who had participated in killing Lin Ziwei. Victory seemed to be very close to them. However, Chen Yuanxi was suddenly informed of Zhu Hui¡¯s death, and he fell to the ground when he heard it.


    After a while, under Zhang Dong¡¯s gaze, Chen Yuanxi stood up slowly and said, ¡°Save the body in the funeral parlour first. Don¡¯t cremate it. Let¡¯s tell Zhao Yuan when everything is over. In addition, the man that grandma said must be controlled.¡± ¡°I will receive an order in Beijing recently. I have to go there.¡±


    Zhao Yuan did not find the man in the United States, but Chen Yuanxi felt that everything was ready.


    ¡°Wenxi, take it easy. Let¡¯s not talk about the resistance we will meet when we catch such a secretary as Chen Tianjiao. If Chen Tianjiao and Mo Qian won¡¯t be caught together, do you know what Mo Qian will do after he is rmed?¡± advised Zhao Yuan.


    Chen Yuanxi thought for a long time and finally endured it.


    As soon as it was at dawn, Chen Yuanxi woke up and went to thepany ahead of time.


    ¡°Wenxi, let me drive the car.¡± Zhang Dong could not help saying.


    Chen Yuanxi frowned and said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Then he stepped on the elerator. After that, he decelerated, downshifted, and drifted at the front corner at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour.


    Immediately, traffic police appeared and chased after them.


    ¡°It¡¯s your show time.¡± Chen Yuanxi said as he jumped up and climbed to the passenger seat. Zhang Dong smiled bitterly, obediently went to the driver¡¯s seat, and quietly epted the speeding ticket.


    ¡°Wenxi, you are really impatient recently,¡± said Zhang Dong.


    ¡°How can I be patient?¡± Chen Yuanxi said and pped the car heavily.


    It never rains, but it pours. Chen Yuanxi, who was already impatient, suddenly received a piece of news from Zhao Yuan that Mo Qian was about to send another team to rece the team sent by Hong Xuan before.


    ¡°Something happened to Hongxuan!¡±


    Chen Yuanxi eximed.


    Zhang Dong hesitated for a moment and said, ¡°It¡¯s uncertain.¡±


    In Mo Qian¡¯s study, Zhang Dong once had found a few old-fashioned envelopes with stamps about Shanghai old courtyards. All the mailing addresses were empty, all the recipients were Hong Xuan, and all the addresses were the government courtyard in Tianfu Vige where Lin Ziwei had worked.


    Zhang Dong was curious at that time and read one of them. Everything about Mo Qian and Hong Xuan in the military camp was written down on the paper. The writing style was rough, but the touching content moved Zhang Dong.


    ¡°Zhang Dong, after so many years, I finally know why you didn¡¯t kill anyone or be killed by Mo Qian,¡± Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.


    ¡°Apart from the protection from Chen Tianjiao, maybe because you are the only one in the world who knows his mind except Mo Qian himself. He needs a confidant, even if the confidant only knows one thing,¡± Chen Yuanxi smiled and said, ¡°What is love? One body two hearts; what is friendship? Two bodies one heart. Uncle Hong Xuan has always loved my father, but Mo Qian has not found his lover... Maybe because of this, he did not kill Uncle Hong Xuan at that time. Otherwise, how could he keep Uncle Hong Xuan alive?¡± Chen Yuanxi could not help but turn his back and sighed.


    Zhang Dong thought about Chen Yuanxi¡¯s words in his mind and closed his eyes silently. Then he asked, ¡°If we share amon hatred and avenge you, A¡¯yuan, and me, can it be called two bodies and one heart?¡±


    Chen Yuanxi was slightly stunned. He shook his head and said, ¡°Zhang Dong, having the same goal is different from having the same heart.¡±


    Hearing that, Zhang Dong smiled with relief.


    ¡°If Uncle Hong Xuan is in danger, his identity will also be exposed. Then he will desperately fight. If Mo Qian knows the identity of Uncle Hong Xuan, he will definitely... but it¡¯s too risky. Will he leave Uncle Hong Xuan alone for the second time?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°What else can we do? If only we can find a way to contact uncle again,¡± said Zhang Dong.


    ¡°What did Mo Qian find? Is this a test or...¡± Chen Yuanxi racked his brains.


    ¡°If he has irrefutable evidence, I think he would ask someone to kill me first,¡± Zhang Dong said with a smile.


    Chen Yuanxi asked Zhao Yuan to join forces with the previous subordinates of Lin Ziwei, who were policemen in Inner Mongolia, and arrest and interrogate all the people sent by Mo Qian, so as to charge them first.


    ¡°As for how to get their confession, the police are more familiar than us,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°Are you going to burn your boats?¡± asked Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°I have no choice. No matter what it is, a temptation or something else, those people must be arrested. But let them tell Mo Qian about the fake news first, no matter how long it can be postponed,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    Zhao Yuan acquiesced.


    ¡°Zhang Dong, it¡¯s your turn.¡± Chen Yuanxi looked at Zhang Dong with a serious look. For a moment, Zhang Dong had a feeling that the vast sea seemed to freeze in front of him, which made him trembled.

 Chapter 205 Being Betrayed, Chen Yuanxi Escaped in the Confusion

    <h4>Chapter 205 Being Betrayed, Chen Yuanxi Escaped in the Confusion</h4>


    Chen Yuanxi only gave Zhang Dong a simple order. ¡°Extort a confession from Luo Yang.¡±


    ¡°Wenxi, I do this on my own initiative. You should remember that all of this has nothing to do with you!¡± Zhang Dong said. Thinking for a moment, he set off immediately after some brief preparations.


    At the same time, somewhere in a small town near Beijing, the long-prepared operation began finally.


    At the beginning of summer, lots of dark clouds hung above the small town. Long bolts of lightning spread all over the sky exaggeratedly, just like the shlight falling on the dying man¡¯s wrinkled face. The city was like a decaying body, and the endless streams of vehicles were the body¡¯s corrupting blood vessels. Standing by the window of his office, Chen Tianjiao smelled death.


    The door opened, and a group of public officials took him out. From that moment on, he would be required to report his problems within a prescribed time, being confined in a small hotel room of this small town.


    However, Chen Tianjiao pleaded not guilty. He knew that as long as he hadn¡¯t admitted his guilt, everything was still possible for him. Through hiswyer, Chen Tianjiao passed on this news to his families, who were already in a mess.


    Thewyer specifically told Chen Yuanxi that his father was now facing a huge crisis and expected him to find a solution.


    Chen Yuanxi looked so anxious that he almost cried out.


    Deng Yifei went to the bedroom to call others for help while Chen Wanxin and Chen Yuanxi sat in the living room, upying themselves with different thoughts.


    ¡°He is only in solitary confinement.¡± Chen Yuanxi thought coldly in his heart. ¡°I should never underestimate Chen Tianjiao¡¯s power. If he is not sent to the procuratorate as soon as possible, he will merely go through a superficial investigation in the confinement.¡±


    Chen Wanxin was very puzzled. At this moment, Mo Qian disappeared without reason, and Luo Yang also disappeared. She remembered that three days ago, Luo Yang was supposed to take her home, but he didn¡¯t show up. Finally, Chen Wanxin had to ask Zheng Kai to bring her home. From then on, she had never received any news from Luo Yang. Immediately after that, her father, Chen Tianjiao, was isted from them! Now, she felt very upset and confused.


    ¡°Sister Wanxin, is it possible that Mo Qian has done something that got our dad into trouble?¡± Chen Yuanxi asked.


    ¡°Ridiculous! Mo Qian has been doing business with our father for decades!¡± Chen Wanxin said.


    ¡°Sister Wanxin, who do you trust more, Zheng Kai or Luo Yang?¡± Chen Yuanxi asked.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°Luo Yang is missing. Mo Qian is missing, too. Then our dad is in trouble. Can you guarantee that you, your mother, and I won¡¯t have any trouble next?¡± Chen Yuanxi said anxiously.


    All of a sudden, Chen Wanxin got his point.


    Before long, Zheng Kai hurriedly rushed to Chen¡¯s home together with a group ofbative security guards. Upon seeing such a scene, those guards who initially stayed in Chen¡¯s were nearly about to take up their weapons and fight with them.


    Although Chen Yuanxi looked extremely anxious, he failed toe up with any solution. Instead, Deng Yifei was bustling around in a hurry, and Chen Yuanxi sent some people to protect her.


    Chen Wanxin fixed her eyes on Chen Yuanxi. However, the longer she stared at him, the stronger the wrong feeling in her heart became. After a long time, she went to the bathroom.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan! Where are you? Yuanxi and I have been trapped at home. Some people may attack us!¡± cried Chen Wanxin. She sounded as if she were about to break into tears.


    Hiding outside the bathroom, Chen Yuanxi could not overhear her, but he could figure it out through reading her expressions. Frowning, Chen Yuanxi thought for a moment. ¡°Sh*t! She caught me!¡±


    Sure enough, Chen Yuanxi¡¯s phone rang immediately, showing the caller ID, Zhao Yuan.


    Hearing the ringing sound, Chen Wanxin slowly walked out of the bathroom while staring at Chen Yuanxi.


    Quickly, Chen Yuanxi carried his phone and went to the bathroom.


    ¡°Who is it? Isn¡¯t that from Zhao Yuan?¡± Chen Wanxin stood in his way and asked with a cold smile, ¡°What are you so afraid of?¡±


    ¡°Brother Yuan and I, we are going to share some words of love. Do I need to ask for your permission first?¡± Wearing a smile, Chen Yuanxi asked.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I am your sister, so I don¡¯t mind.¡± Chen Wanxin smiled back at him.


    ¡°Step aside!¡±


    ¡°No!¡±


    Suddenly, Deng Yifei popped up from her room. Pulling a long face, she watched the brother and sister who were arguing when they faced the imminent disaster.


    Chen Yuanxi didn¡¯t want Chen Wanxin to say something unfavorable. After all, he didn¡¯t want to confront her and her mother at the same time. Thus, he answered the phone, thinking fast to respond appropriately. ¡°Yes, I am safe now. You don¡¯t need toe over.¡±


    Although Chen Yuanxi repeatedly told him not toe, he believed that Zhao Yuan would definitely rush over to him.


    ¡°What is the use of also asking Zhao Yuan to help us with the trouble?¡± ¡°Zheng Kai is enough to protect us,¡± Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.


    ¡°ording to your character, I suppose that you will certainly call your handsome and smart brother Zhao Yuan first when you are in trouble if you take our family as your own. Am I right?¡± Chen Wanxin asked with a cold smile. ¡°You pretend that you don¡¯t know what to do. What a great actor!¡±


    ¡°Sister, do you know the difference between you and me? Since you entered the university, whenever you encounter something, the first thing you do is to ask for help. You didn¡¯t want to take the exams, so you hired someone to take the exams for you. When you were toozy to move, you asked Zheng Kai to bring you the meals. You called Luo Yang to deal with me, but he didn¡¯t make it. After that, you let Mo Qian continue handling me. But do you know me? The first thing I do when I meet problems is to find solutions by myself! Thus, after I returned home from abroad, Ipletely defeated you when we were under the same condition! Thus, I am now trying to figure out a solution. The first thing I do is not to call Zhao Yuan, who is perhaps on a business trip somewhere! Even if we will be in danger, do you want him toe back and join the battle when his suit, tie, and leather shoes are still on him? Zhao Yuan is indeed exceedingly brilliant and brave. But when he faces so many gangsters alone, do you want him to block the attacks with his flesh body for you or me?¡± Chen Yuanxi spoke in a harsh tone and with a stern expression.


    ¡°But you should at least contact Zhang Dong first! Where is Zhang Dong?¡± Chen Wanxin breathed a sigh of relief and asked.


    ¡°Sister Wanxin, I should ask you instead. Since Zhang Dong left yesterday, he never came back again. Isn¡¯t he the person sent by Mo Qian to keep watch on me?¡± Chen Yuanxi red at her.


    Chen Wanxin was a little stunned. ¡°Chen Yuanxi, if Luo Yang or Zhang Dong nned to deal with us, they would have done so a few days ago. They didn¡¯t need to disappear first! Therefore, some people made them disappear. As for who these people are, I could only ask you!¡±


    ¡°Ask me? Miss Wanxin, may I ask you? Who else can harm Mo Qian? Who can do something bad to our dad? If I were determined to scheme to ruin this family, indeed, I would first call Zhao Yuan to be my advisor. Between you and me, who do you think Zhao Yuan would like to offer his help? I let you ask Zheng Kai toe. But who Zheng Kai will save first when we are in danger at the same time? Have you lost your mind? Or is it because you always have a prejudice against me?¡± Chen Yuanxi looked like he was unable to restrain his anger.


    Chen Wanxin gave it a little thought. Looking at Zheng Kai, who was patrolling outside the window, she became speechless, finally. The two of them sat in silence for a while. But then, their phones rang at the same time.


    The two siblings went back to their own bedroom, respectively. But after a while, they went out at the same time.


    Zheng Kai heard the voices of Chen Wanxin and Chen Yuanxi in the room. He quickly went inside to check.


    ¡°Zheng Kai, catch Chen Yuanxi. He wants to ruin my family!¡± Chen Wanxin looked so anxious that she burst into cry.


    ¡°Zheng Kai, catch Wanxin, she wants to destroy me!¡± Chen Yuanxi yelled. It seemed that he was also very anxious.


    Like a crazy tiger, Chen Wanxin had already pounced on Chen Yuanxi to hit him. On the alert, Chen Yuanxi kept his eyes on Zheng Kai. And from time to time, he also looked out of the window.


    Just now, Chen Yuanxi received a call from Zhang Dong. ¡°Yuanxi, wait for me outside. I will pick you up right away.¡±


    ¡°Luo Yang, he ran away!¡± Zhang Dong said, ¡°Let¡¯s talk in detail when we meet!¡±


    ¡°Zheng Kai, are you going to catch him or not?¡± Chen Wanxin yelled at him.


    At this point, Chen Yuanxi pushed Chen Wanxin aside and ran out while shouting, ¡°What a mad woman! She is hardhearted enough to hurt her own brother!¡± Then, he reproached those people outside. ¡°All of you quicklye inside to watch Miss Chen!¡±


    When they faced such a confusing situation, the group of people outside was puzzled on the spot.


    They knew that they could neither attack the brother nor the sister. Thus, all of them turned to look at Zheng Kai in unison.


    ¡°Catch Chen Yuanxi!¡± Deng Yifei suddenly rushed out of the room. ¡°Catch him, the go*mned son!¡±


    Meanwhile, a st of the trumpet came from outside. Chen Yuanxi dashed out all of a sudden. The bunch of the Chen family¡¯s guards followed right after him. However, the group of BCpany¡¯s bodyguards stayed still, looking at Zheng Kai.


    ¡°Zheng Kai! Go ahead, catch him! He wants to murder me! He has already dragged my dad down! Zheng Kai!¡± At this moment, how Chen Wanxin wished that she could have a pair of wings for her to catch this traitor who had lurked in her home for seven years! Chen Wanxin found that the fact was a little hard to swallow. ¡°The whole seven years, this person stayed at home together with me, pretending to be one dear member of my family. Especially, he acted so well to be my father¡¯s filial son. What else is he capable of? Why on earth would he choose to deal with his own biological father? But even if he had found out that our father murdered Zhao Mingjiang, he would never act like this!¡± Chen Wanxin felt scared and greatly frightened.


    Chen Wanxin sobbed pitifully. But Zheng Kai stood still at the same ce.


    Outside the door, Zhang Dong let out a bellow. ¡°Who fu*king dare go against me?!¡±


    Those bodyguards were either Zhang Dong¡¯s subordinates in the Chen family or people who had witnessed Zhang Dong¡¯s power, so how dare theye forward to attack him? Then, under the gaze of everyone, Zhang Dong pulled away together with Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°Pa!¡± Chen Wanxin pped Zheng Kai in the face.


    ¡°Zheng Kai, are you fu*king still a man or not? I am the one who will be ruined! It is me!¡± Chen Wanxin rebuked, crying.


    ¡°I will always be by your side,¡± Zheng Kai said.


    ¡°Get lost!¡± Chen Wanxin desperately pounded Zheng Kai¡¯s chest. ¡°From college to now, you have done nothing to make me happy!¡±


    In silence, Zheng Kai embraced Chen Wanxin in his arms. Not uttering a sound, he just let her hit and me him.


    In a rush, Zhang Dong and Chen Yuanxi went back to their residence. They quickly packed up their clothes and valuables and drove out.


    It seemed that the road before them was endless.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to hand him over to Officer Tan? How could this be?¡± Chen Yuanxi asked.


    ¡°Officer Tan is a traitor! There must be a few traitors in the list given by Uncle Xuan! We were just lucky enough before so that we had nevere across any!¡± Zhang Dong said with a deep voice.


    ¡°That means, when you call others to pick up Luo Yang, Uncle Hong Xuan has already exposed, right?¡± It seemed that Chen Yuanxi was talking to himself. One of his fathers had died, now he couldn¡¯t bear to lose another!


    ¡°Yuanxi... Even if Mo Qian does not want to take Uncle Xuan¡¯s life away, he will imprison him. You have told me that Uncle Xuan gave all the evidence he collected in these years to one person. But who is that person? Now, in this case, I suppose that we can have the chance to find this person,¡± Zhang Dong said.


    But Chen Yuanxi shook his head. ¡°Uncle Hong Xuan did not leave any clues for me to look for this person...¡± Feeling a little exhausted, Chen Yuanxiy on his back. After a long time, he asked Zhang Dong. ¡°There is a photo album at the top of my study... I looked for it just now, but I didn¡¯t find it. Did you bring it with you?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t take that much. I only took two photos of it,¡± Zhang Dong said. His face turned a little pale now.


    Chen Yuanxi looked at him a little nervously.


    ¡°One of the photos is a family photo with you and your parents in it. The other photo is the one shot in Dongchuan,¡± Zhang Dong said with a smile because he saw that Chen Yuanxi¡¯s look rxed a little.


    But the car suddenly stopped.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°Yuanxi, go ahead. Go... as far as you can. I¡¯m sorry...¡± Zhang Dong managed to finish speaking with his trembling voice, and suddenly he copsed to the steering wheel.


    Only at this moment did Chen Yuanxi notice that there was a lot of blood on Zhang Dong¡¯s back, and his ck clothes were soaked in blood. The blood dripped down from his back and had already formed a puddle on the cushion.

 Chapter 206 (An Invalid List) A Wrong Judgment Trapped Them in a Tight Corner

    <h4>Chapter 206 (An Invalid List) A Wrong Judgment Trapped Them in a Tight Corner</h4>


    Chen Yuanxi found a hospital nearby.


    Zhao Yuan¡¯s call came in time.


    When Zhao Yuan arrived, Zhang Dong was still in the operating room. Chen Yuanxi threw himself into Zhao Yuan¡¯s arms immediately after he saw him. Staying outside the operating room, both of them remained in silence. Facing such an unexpected situation, Zhao Yuan suddenly didn¡¯t know what they should do next, and he just reminded everyone that they should throw all their phones away first.


    ¡°You made such an important decision, but I actually learned it from someone in Inner Mongolia.¡± Zhao Yuan murmured, ¡°Were you afraid that I would not allow Zhang Dong to catch Luo Yang?¡±


    ¡°You knew the danger. When you tightened the ring of encirclement, the small fishes around the big fishes that you intended to catch would certainly react in some way. Did you think that people in such arge organization like the Mo family would sit passively for their end? You sent Brother Dong to pursue Luo Yang regardless of whether he was beside Wanxin or was back to the Mo family. You were sending him to death by doing this. You knew this, right? You can take no notice of his life and death now.¡±


    Though Chen Yuanxi was already 26 now, he couldn¡¯t help twisting a corner of his clothes at this moment because he had to admit that what Zhao Yuan said was absolutely right.


    ¡°But you had other choices. Mo Qian sent someone there, and if he didn¡¯t get a reply, should he send more his men or even Uncle Hong Xuan there? If he did that, Mo Qian would spend some time to deal with Uncle Hong Xuan first. So it could buy us some time, maybe one month or two. But why were you in such a hurry, Wenxi? Uncle Hong Xuan gave you that list. It means that he handed the suprememand to you. However, holding a handful of good cards, you yed in a lousy way. Now that we don¡¯t know whether or not the people on our side will survive, nor do we know if we can still win! What exactly did you do all of this for?¡±


    Chen Yuanxi couldn¡¯t utter a word.


    ¡°For what? I have born all the hatred for seven years, and finally, I met a chance to revenge! For what? The grandmother who is still lying in the funeral home. I just want to bury her and let her rest in peace earlier! For what? To gain the upper hand, Mo Qian took the initiative to send Hong Xuan. And then, Wang Chang was brutally murdered. But soon, Mo Qian seemed to realize that something went wrong, so he directly ordered someone to kill Zhang Dong!¡±


    ¡°But how can I tell others all these things and my mixed feelings within a few words?¡±


    Thinking of this, Chen Yuanxi felt extremely tired. Lying on Zhao Yuan¡¯s knees, he said, ¡°Yuan, I want to take a break.¡±


    Zhao Yuan reached out to stroke Chen Yuanxi¡¯s hair. Unexpectedly, he found a hidden silver-white hair on Chen Yuanxi¡¯s head, like a touch of snow in the inkstone. ¡°Wenxi, you are only 26! 26!¡± Continuing groping, Zhao Yuan found more white hairs hidden in his ck ones. One, two, three... All of a sudden, Zhao Yuan started to hate those past years. He began to resent the impermanence of the world. Dumbfounded, he stood there in silence.


    The trauma at Zhang Dong¡¯s back was extremely serious. When he was transferring Luo Yang, he felt that the situation around him was a little weird. Therefore, he secretly observed for a little while, but then someone stabbed him at his back. Fortunately, he responded promptly and elbowed the one who sneakily attacked him. After that, driving on the car, he dashed around madly along the way and managed to get to Chen¡¯s house. However, he had lost too much blood. Therefore, after half an hour¡¯s fast-speed crazy driving, he could no longer hang on there.


    ¡°Yuan, about the thing in Inner Mongolia, the evidence is quite clear: Mo Qian abducted Zhang Dong¡¯s parents. You can go there to ask some people to directly contact with our people in the small town and try to get some help from the police by the way. There are traitors in this town, so Uncle Hong Xuan¡¯s list became invalid.¡± Suddenly, Chen Yuanxi looked up and said.


    ¡°Now, I can finally be your strategist, bodyguard, lover, brother at the same time. Four people with different functions in one body, do you think that I am willing to leave you?¡± Zhao Yuan said while smiling, and he gently rubbed the tip of Chen Yuanxi¡¯s nose.


    ¡°Zhang Dong is here. So it is no use for us to stay here with him. If Mo Qian is mighty enough and his men can find you here, the injured Zhang Dong has to escape while protecting you. Thus, I guess you can get some people here, right? Otherwise, how can you get the evidence against Chen Tianjiao and send him to undergo a mandatory investigation? Who dares try to bring down a government official like Secretary Chen without any incontestable evidence? Have you found any evidence about your father or mine? You should not hide anything about that from me,¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    On the spur of the moment, Chen Yuanxi really wanted to beat Zhao Yuan into an idiot.


    Just now, Chen Yuanxi had already told Captain Cao toe here. He was in the criminal police team that had investigated the case of Zhao Mingjiang before.


    Zhu Hui provided a name and a specific incident about that person. Moreover, there was more evidence left by Lin Ziwei¡¯s subordinates during the time when Lin Ziwei investigated the case. Then, people from a police station and the procuratorate interrogated the suspects by alternating kindness with cruelty. And so, two people who had taken part in grabbing the body to cremate acknowledged their guilt. By following all the clues he got, Chen Yuanxi continued tracking down and found that a captain of a police team at that time had involved in the case. After that, Chen Yuanxi discovered more and more evidence to prove Chen Tianjiao¡¯s guilt. For instance, the rape case of Liu Xuehua and the impulsive murder case of Zhao Mingjiang. The Mo family provided him with hatchet men who received direct or indirect orders from Chen Tianjiao. Chen Yuanxi advised the police team¡¯s captain and the local procuratorate¡¯s chief procurator not to alert Chen Tianjiao in advance. Thus, they followed his advice and temporarily blocked the news that they were going to investigate Chen Tianjiao.


    However, when Zhao Yuan knew the truth, he would know the fact that two of his families had already died in one day. One of them was his grandmother, who was missing since he was a child. The other was his mother, Liu Xuehua. Zhao Yuan¡¯s father kept thentern on for 24 hours each day in more than ten years to wait for her toe back. Chen Yuanxi was afraid that Zhao Yuan was still looking forward to seeing Liu Xuehua return safe and sound, and then he could show filial piety to her.


    ¡°I have lived in Chen¡¯s family for seven years, Yuan.¡±


    ¡°I knew very well how you had spent the past seven years. With your character, how could you only release such a little information if you got the evidence long ago? The news you released is like an iplete fart, which only had a loud sound but no stinking smell,¡± Zhao Yuan said, dissatisfied.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be so rude.¡± Chen Yuanxi turned around and ignored him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t y this trick. I don¡¯t care if you act in a pettishly charming manner, or you try to deceive me by torturing yourself, or you pretend to be angry or even dead, it won¡¯t work for me.¡± ¡°You have made such a big mistake. It is useless to y these tricks that you had used when you were still ¡°Lin Wenxi.¡± Do you still expect to make up for the mistake on your own after you sessfully deceive me by ying some old tricks? Be good. Trust me, your man.¡± Crossing his arms, Zhao Yuan stood proudly in front of Chen Yuanxi.


    When Chen Yuanxi was about to talk, the doctor came out and told them that Zhang Dong was awake already. Chen Yuanxi made a gesture, showing that he was now too busy to talk to him. After throwing a re to Zhao Yuan, he pushed Zhang Dong back to the ward with the nurse.


    When Zhao Yuan caught up, Chen Yuanxi gave him a bill. ¡°I certainly should believe in my man¡¯s wallet.¡±


    ¡°Give you a chance to have a love affair!¡± Zhao Yuan muttered and left.


    ¡°Your eyes...¡± Zhang Dong looked at Chen Yuanxi for a while. Suddenly, he turned his head away.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Chen Yuanxi rubbed his eyes.


    ¡°Would you mind not being so gentle?¡± Zhang Dong grinned.


    ¡°You are a rough man, but you blushed so easily. Are you shamed?¡± Chen Yuanxi asked with a smile.


    ¡°I... how could that be possible??¡± Zhang Dong asked.


    ¡°You were a bit dark before so that I couldn¡¯t see your blush. But now your face looks so pale. I have to take a good look and see how many times you can blush in a day. See, see, you blushed again!¡± Chen Yuanxi grinned, but his eyes became wet.


    ¡°Wenxi, I am fine. Three dayster, I will be a tough man again!¡± Zhang Dong tried to pat his chest, but a sharp pain at his back stopped him. He could not help frowning andnded his eyes on Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°Zhang Dong, you have a new task,¡± Chen Yuanxi said.


    ¡°Go ahead.¡±


    ¡°Rest for thirty days. You cannot cut a single day of rest. Do you understand?¡± Chen Yuanxi told him.


    ¡°Right, Wenxi, the person behind me is the daughter of Boss Zhang, MO Capital¡¯s boss. Her name is Zhang An¡¯an,¡± Zhang Dong said anxiously. It seemed as if he hadn¡¯t heard the words Chen Yuanxi¡¯s said just now.


    Chen Yuanxi was stunned on the spot.

 Chapter 207 (Whose Sky Lock Is It?) Zhang An’an Met Yuanxi at Night

    <h4>Chapter 207 (Whose Sky Lock Is It?) Zhang An¡¯an Met Yuanxi at Night</h4>


    The first time the strange woman called Zhang Dong was to remind him to save Lin Wenxi. In the second call, the woman told him not to go to Yangzi County for the time being because Lin Wenxi had changed his name to Chen Yuanxi. The third time, she warned him not to take a particr task. Later on, an explosion took ce when his two subordinates were doing the task. One was seriously injured, and the other was slightly hurt.


    In the past few years, the fewmunications on the phone with that woman helped Zhang Dong avoid almost all the traps that Luo Yang specially made for him. Out of curiosity, he recorded the changed voice of that woman on the phone and asked someone to restore the real voice. Eventually, he discovered that the voice was exactly the same as the popr female singer¡¯s voice that he had asionally heard.


    In a concert specially held in the MO Capital, Zhang Dong identally encountered Zhang An¡¯an.


    They did not say a word and only nodded slightly at each other. From that moment on, they always trusted each other.


    The woman was not particrly outstanding, but she had the smart eyes of a phoenix. Hence, Chen Yuanxi found it was quite difficult to connect such a woman to the daughter of Boss Zhang (MO Capital¡¯s boss). However, after repeatedly going over the past things, Chen Yuanxi still had to conclude that Zhan An¡¯an was the daughter. No wonder that she needed to hide her identity. No wonder that her ideas always took him by surprise.


    ¡°Maybe she knows the news of Mo Qian. However, if we go to find her at this time, I am afraid that we will get her into trouble.¡± It seemed that Zhang Dong could not bear to do that.


    ¡°An¡¯an can always find a way to protect herself,¡± Chen Yuanxi said.


    After they made everything clear, Chen Yuanxi and Zhao Yuan immediately called Zhang An¡¯an by the number that Zhang Dong provided to them. Without a stop, they were always on the way to her ce.


    When Zhao Yuan learned Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s background, he was totally startled, which made him temporarily forget to ask Chen Yuanxi for the evidence against Chen Tianjiao.


    Chen Yuanxi and Zhao Yuan went through the underground parking lot and came directly to the residence of Zhang An¡¯an in this small town.


    Once again, they met after separating for a long time. However, they had never expected that there would be such a wide gap between their status when they saw each other again.


    At this moment, Chen Yuanxi noticed that Zhang An¡¯an was sick in bed and it was already a little difficult for her to get up.


    ¡°Is, is it because of the lingering effect of the disease in the past?¡± Chen Yuanxi asked.


    Zhang An¡¯an smiled slightly. ¡°Every summer, there will always be a few days like this. It is a woman¡¯s disease, so you don¡¯t understand.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi stopped asking and went straight to the point.


    ¡°Boss Zhang also escaped. The whole Mo family is all messed up,¡± Zhang An¡¯an said.


    ¡°The headquarters of the Mo family is in the Imperial Capital Building. But now, there must be no one in there. Wenxi, you never let me down.¡± Zhang An¡¯an smiled. ¡°Pour some tea for yourself.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi learned that Mo Qian had a stronghold in his hometown. As for the exact ce that he would hide or any other situations, Zhang An¡¯an had nothing to tell. Smiling, she shouted to a room. ¡°Zhao Yuan, the bathroom is not there.¡±


    ¡°An¡¯an, I asked Zhao Yuan to check your room. I must be honest with you about that,¡± Chen Yuanxi said.


    ¡°I knew it was you. You can do anything to achieve your goal, while Zhao Yuan cannot because he will always give considerations to human rtionships. This is the biggest difference between you and Zhao Yuan. I suppose that you two must have argued about if you should research my room.¡± Zhang An¡¯an simply turned to lie on her side and looked at Chen Yuanxi as if she were deep in thought. The fragrance of the heavy make-up on her almost choked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°You are still as smart as ever.¡± Chen Yuanxi praised.


    ¡°I understand why you are doing this to me. I also understand that after going through all those things over these years, you no longer believe in anyone. But I cannot understand the thing that you have done to Wang Zhengjuan.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi shook his head. ¡°But An¡¯an, I have tried my best.¡±


    ¡°s...¡± Zhang An¡¯an sighed slightly. She remembered the scene when she saw Shu Xiaomanst time. ¡°That thing will be known sooner orter.¡± She thought.


    ¡°Your biggest enemy maybe the people around you,¡± Zhang An¡¯an said with a smile.


    Zhao Yuan finished checking. When he returned, he looked at Zhang An¡¯an apologetically.


    ¡°Off you go. Take care, guys. Don¡¯te to me again,¡± Zhang An¡¯an said, weakly.


    Chen Yuanxi saw Zhao Yuan help Zhang An¡¯an to make the bed, adjust the air conditioner to a suitable temperature, and evenly cut the western food in the refrigerator. He was busy for a while before finally going out.


    ¡°Some vital data must be locked in An¡¯an¡¯sputer by a Sky Lock, a kind of smart lock. Automatically, it will be installed. After that, it will also apply for the cloud server, upload the information, and produce double passwords all by itself. But once someone enters the wrong password three times, the self-explosive device will face two choices. It can choose to release all the stored items to the mailboxes that are in there in advance. The second choice is to destroy itself. Just now, I dared not try more...¡± Zhao Yuan said.


    Chen Yuanxi believed that it was impossible that there were only several photos being locked up in thatputer. And the double passwords, who held the other password?


    ¡°Zhang Dong has mentioned An¡¯an and her father, but there was one person left,¡± Chen Yuanxi said.


    ¡°Her mother.¡± Zhao Yuan nodded. ¡°Although I don¡¯t know the point of investigating this matter, it may still be an approach.¡±


    Within the next two days, Chen Yuanxi and Zhao Yuan contacted those people they knew and let them learn the facts about Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s mother because they daren¡¯t show up openly. But in the end, they only knew that Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s father died at a young age. Later on, Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s mother remarried to Boss Zhang. However, no one could find out whom Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s natural father was.


    However, they finally got the first good news in these two days¡ªChen Tianjiao was transferred to the procuratorate. His wife, Deng Yifei, was under close surveince and was asked to assist in the investigation. Moreover, Luo Yang testified in the video and confirmed that Mo Qian had participated in the murder of Lin Ziwei. Zhang Dong sent the video to Chen Yuanxi, and it also yed a certain role. Besides, the search for the suspects had been carried out in the Mo family on a small scale. This meant that with sufficient evidence, Lin Ziwei¡¯s former subordinates had achieved some preliminary sess when they were fighting the battle of wits and courage against people who were on Chen Tianjiao¡¯s side.


    But the video Luo Yang provided to testify against Chen Tianjiao could not be the final evidence, not to mention that the confession was extorted by torture. At the moment, ording to the instructions provided by Luo Yang, some people had already gone to the United States to hunt the fugitive. In Inner Mongolia, some people cooperated with them to chase Mo Qian. The evidence provided by them could only prove that Mo Qian had ordered a man named He Fu to monitor Zhang Dong¡¯s parents. The evidence they got from A City was not solid enough to prove that Mo Qian was guilty because no suspects who directly contacted with him showed up. When all evidence about Mo Qian added together, Mo Qian might only be sentenced to a few years¡¯ imprisonments. All of the crime evidence was not enough for the police to send a B-level order of arrest to the whole province.


    Perhaps, only when they further proved the irrefutable evidence about Mo Qian that Hong Xuan collected in all these years could they pin Mo Qian down for real!


    When Zhao Yuan and Chen Yuanxi hid in a hotel in the small town and wracked their brains, a piece of online news made them gasp.


    ¡°Little Pop Princess Met the President of BC Company Late at Night¡±


    A photo was attached there. In it, Zhao Yuan and Chen Yuanxi sat on the bedside of Zhang An¡¯an, and Chen Yuanxi¡¯s look was clearly visible in the photo.


    ¡°The dumb ass paparazzi!¡± Chen Yuanxi rebuked. When he was going to see the news, there was a new message in his Weibo.


    ¡°Lane 3, Anhe Road.¡±

 Chapter 208 (Zhang An’an Was Raped by At Least Three People) The Early Bird Catches the Worm

    <h4>Chapter 208 (Zhang An¡¯an Was Raped by At Least Three People) The Early Bird Catches the Worm</h4>


    ¡°An¡¯an is in danger,¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Uncle Hong Xuan left a message,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°I also want to see uncle Xuan soon. But since he can leave a message to you on microblog, it means that he is very safe. An¡¯an is different. Once the news is released, people of the Mo Family will know that she has contacted us!¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°He contacts us by microblog, instead of phone, which means he is not safe! An¡¯an has been safe for so many years, how could she have no other way to protect herself now? Her father is Boss Zhang!¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°Wenxi, uncle Xuan is strong and powerful, but An¡¯an is just a weak woman!¡± said Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°It will take us an hour to An¡¯an by the high-speed train! I don¡¯t care! I just want to see Uncle Hong Xuan!¡± Chen Yuanxi turned his back and said, ¡°Besides, will someone deal with An¡¯an just because she met me? It¡¯s far-fetched!¡±


    Chen Yuanxi said as he asked for police assistance from the south of the city. He needed to confirm whether the ce Hong Xuan stayed was safe. But the police said that they were short of hands. They had separately sent people to protect Zhang Dong, investigate, arrest, and interrogate Mo Qian, as well as maintain the public security of the south of the city, so it was impossible to allocate people for the time being. And the team leader hoped that Chen Yuanxi could hide himself so that nothing would happen to him.


    Chen Yuanxi said nothing and went straight to Hong Xuan¡¯s residence.


    Zhao Yuan had to follow Chen Yuanxi without saying a word.


    Zhao Yuan said to Chen Yuanxi, ¡°You stay at the phone booth over there. I¡¯ll go and have a look first.¡± Hearing that, Chen Yuanxi was moved. At the most critical moment, Zhao Yuan only cared about him.


    Zhao Yuan went for about a quarter of an hour, and allowed Chen Yuanxi to go there.


    Hong Xuan was staying in a small hotel. He was pale and lying on the bed, with his eyes closed tightly. But except for the former scars, there was no new wound on his body.


    ¡°Here you are,¡± Hong Xuan breathed heavily and said, ¡°Where is Boss Zhang?¡±


    ¡°Was he with you?¡± Chen Yuanxi could not help being curious.


    Hong Xuan sighed and thought for a moment, then he suddenly said, ¡°No!¡± ¡°An¡¯an is in danger now. Go and save her! Everything is there with her.¡±


    ¡°The electronic lock with double passwords?¡± asked Zhao Yuan.


    Hong Xuan nodded weakly and said, ¡°Hurry up, Wenxi. Send all the people you can to save An¡¯an!¡±


    Chen Yuanxi nodded. However, there was no one was avable now. Finally, he thought of Zheng Kai.


    Zhao Yuan and Chen Yuanxi took actions separately. Chen Yuanxi stayed to take care of Hong Xuan and continued to be in charge of contact. Zhao Yuan recorded the way of unlocking and invited Zheng Kai to go to save Zhang An¡¯an.


    BC Company was still in operation, and Zheng Kai was still downstairs at that time, but as a dismissed employee. Wang Xiang had been standing opposite him for half an hour, holding a cup of milk tea. He was thirty centimeters away from Zheng Kai, and kept looking at him. If Wang Xiang had not gone to Chen Wanxin¡¯s office, he would have lost his job just like Zheng Kai.


    ¡°Zhang An¡¯an may be in danger, will you go with me?¡± said Zheng Kai.


    Wang Xiang immediately threw the milk tea and began to book tickets.


    When the three arrived at Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s residence, the door was open, and their faces darkened when they saw that. The room was in disorder everywhere. The table and chairs fell to the ground, tea set was broken, and even the ss fish tank beside the window was also smashed. Several goldfish had all died.


    When they arrived at Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s bedroom, Zheng Kai and Zhao Yuan turned around at the same time, while Wang Xiang could not help but shed tears.


    Zhang An¡¯an was lying on the bed, with hair disheveled, and nkly looking at the ceiling. Saliva flowed from the corners of her mouth, her two pale arms were exposed outside, and there were scratches on her face and body. On the bed, there were bloodstains everywhere.


    ¡°They¡¯re beasts!¡± Wang Xiang could not help crying. He took out a sheet and tried to cover Zhang An¡¯an.


    ¡°I¡¯m dirty...¡± Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s voice seemed to be squeezed out of the mouth.


    Wang Xiang found another sheet in the closet, wrapped Zhang An¡¯an tightly, and hugged her.


    The police car arrived downstairs. Maybe one kind neighbor had heard the abnormal sound and called the police.


    The three went to the police station to be questioned, and Zhang An¡¯an was taken to hospital for care.


    ording to the injury assessment, Zhang An¡¯an had been raped by at least three people.


    Zhang An¡¯an only said Mo Qian¡¯s name.


    At the same time, Zhao Yuan found that the Sky Lock in Zhang An¡¯an¡¯sputer had been destroyed because the password had been incorrectly input three times. Zhang An¡¯an told Zhao Yuan the role of the Sky Lock when she was still conscious.


    The Sky Lock was equipped with two systems, automatically self-locking system and automatic self-destruction system. The system in Zhang An¡¯an¡¯sputer was naturally the automatically self-locking. There was a pulse sensor on Hong Xuan. If Hong Xuan died or the password was incorrectly input three times, the Sky Lock would automatically open the self-locking system. And if the Sky Lock was forcibly restarted, it could destroy itself automatically. The condition of restarting the Sky Lock was the sound and fingerprint of Hong Xuan.


    Last night, Zhang An¡¯an watched the Sky Lock restart. Then because of the continuous wrong passwords, the auto-destroy mode was turned on.


    ¡°Has all the evidence... gone?¡± Zhao Yuan asked in a trembling voice.


    Zhang An¡¯an nodded wearily. Zhao Yuan wanted to ask, but was stopped by Wang Xiang. ¡°An¡¯an is very tired.¡±


    Zhao Yuan did not think it necessary to ask more. It was almost inevitable that Zhang An¡¯an would be discovered. However, the Mo Family was now unable to protect themselves, and they could directly stun Zhang An¡¯an and restart the Sky Lock. They did not need to insult a girl like that. Maybe there was another story among Zhang An¡¯an, Boss Zhang, and the Mo Family, so that Zhao Yuan could not interfere. Maybe, only when all the people of the Mo Family were brought to justice could the truth be revealed. Zhao Yuan knew fewer about girls than Wang Xiang and Zheng Kai, so he could only ask Zhang An¡¯an to have a good rest. Then he hurried to the small town to take care of the dying Hong Xuan and the a bit strong Chen Yuanxi.


    Zheng Kai had apanied Wang Xiang to guard Zhang An¡¯an for many days, and finally left because he was worried about Chen Wanxin.


    Wang Xiang directly asked for leave to apany Zhang An¡¯an.


    In the past few days, Wang Xiang found that Zhang An¡¯an was lonely. Although he knew that Zhang An¡¯an did not want others to know what had happened to her, he still called Shu Xiaoman and her other roommates to apany her. As soon as Zhou Nannan heard that Zhang An¡¯an was ill, she hurried toe with many specialties from her hometown. Chen Wanxin, because her parents had been transferred to the Commission for Discipline Inspection and had an uncertain future now, was busy saving her parents and managing thepany which might copse soon. Chen Wanxin had suffered a lot recently, but she still visited Zhang An¡¯an with Zheng Kai from time to time and talked with her, after all they had been roommates for four years. Only Shu Xiaoman did not show up. She just made phone calls to arrange everything and sent tonic and traditional Chinese medicine and some other things to Zhang An¡¯an.


    Zhao Yuan talked with Chen Yuanxi on the phone all the way back. He learned that everything was normal, except for Hong Xuan who kept sleeping all the time, and asionally woke up to drink water and continued to sleep.


    And Zhao Yuan found it hard to tell Chen Yuanxi what had happened to Zhang An¡¯an.

 Chapter 209 (His Daughter?) An’an’s Mysterious Background

    <h4>Chapter 209 (His Daughter?) An¡¯an¡¯s Mysterious Background</h4>


    On hearing the news about Zhang An¡¯an, Hong Xuan was so angry and painful.


    Hong Xuan said approvingly, ¡°Mo Qian has only recently discovered the strangeness, then he figured out the whole thing. From the time when you made a n and asked Zhang Dong to hand in a fake video to the time when you use the people of the Mo Family to make a fuss with the entrepreneur, your position in the Chen Family and even in thepany has reached its peak.¡±


    ¡°In thepany, you annexed Chen Wanxin¡¯s shares step by step, and then Chen Tianjiao scolded Chen Wanxin, doubted Mo Qian, and believed you more. The most important is that Zhang Dong didn¡¯t need to report your whereabouts to Mo Qian at any time. You¡¯ve got a brilliant n, but it¡¯s too easy.¡±


    Zhao Yuan saw that Chen Yuanxi¡¯s face became moreplicated.


    ¡°Even though Mo Qian is very foxy, he still didn¡¯t expect that the video he gave to Chen Tianjiao was edited by you. But he could specte the whole matter based on the simplest result-oriented spection. It was Zhang Dong who gave him the video, and Wenxi was in the advantage position at the beginning, so he knew that Zhang Dong had betrayed him. Therefore, there was a problem in Inner Mongolia. Zhao Yuan¡¯s strategy was also brilliant. But once Mo Qian doubted Zhang Dong, or found out the problem in the video, I would exin to him that the staff over there might bezy, and I was going to rece them. At the same time, I would inform you. But he has sent someone in advance. You and Zhao Yuan have adopted a policy of procrastination, but Mo Qian has always been quick. He has doubted me. But he¡¯s not sure.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi nodded, knowing that Mo Qian would find that the video was strange sooner orter. However, he did not expect that Mo Qian, who seemed to be losing day by day, could be so decisive.


    ¡°What he is sure that I didn¡¯t kill the man in City A, who is very important, and directly rted to the Wangs in City A. Our whole family has owed the Wangs for several years!¡± said Hong Xuan.


    ¡°Yes, our whole family.¡± Chen Yuanxi lowered his head slightly, and Zhao Yuan held his hand.


    ¡°I took the risk to keep evidence and sent people to Captain Cao in the south of the city. Mr. Tan, Captain Cao¡¯s subordinate, is a traitor. He works for the Mo Family. At that time, my identity was already exposed!¡±


    ¡°Mo Qian wanted to interrogate me to know my identity, but he didn¡¯t dare to do something to me in public, because I was the third inmand. After spending three days in the room with me in private, he finally knew my identity. Then he asked someone to hypnotize me. It was Boss Zhang who was in charge of hypnosis.¡±


    ¡°When ites to Boss Zhang, I¡¯ll talk about the girl, Zhang An¡¯an. I have only been to Boss Zhang¡¯s house once. When I was in his house, a little girl has been following me all the time, and I couldn¡¯t get rid of her.¡± ¡°Later, she followed me into the men¡¯s room. She said that she had installed a tracker in my shoes and criticized me for not being careful. Then, she listed the tasks I had received and the things I had done in the Mo Family. It seems that Boss Zhang has said everything to his daughter.¡±


    ¡°At that time, she said, ¡®Mo Qian only cares about whether you will finish what he wants you to do. But I care about all your behaviors. Everything you have done is about Yangzi County. Even if the target is in Yangzi County, you have to wait and take actions until the target is out of the county. What are you afraid of? The safety of your wife and children, or something else? I heard that Lin Ziwei, the famous man in Yangzi County, died for some reason a few years ago. His driver and bodyguard is missing, who is about the same size as you.''¡±


    Chen Yuanxi and Zhao Yuan looked at each other, thinking that Zhang An¡¯an was too brave and clever.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t show any ws at that time, or I thought I hadn¡¯t shown any ws, but she called out my name, Hong Xuan. When I heard my name, I wanted to kill her, so I covered her mouth, but her eyes seemed to speak and tell me that she still has something to say. When I let her go, she told me that Lin Wenxi was dead. No matter how calm I was, I was still panic at that time. She said she was joking, and then told me her identity, and everything about you at school, including why you doubted Chen Wanxin, how you investigated City A, how you fell into Wanxin¡¯s hands, and how she told Zhang Dong to save you. All the details were clear.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t believe her, but she told me that if I didn¡¯t forget everything in Yangzi County and Lin Wenxi, everything I did in the Mo Family would be exposed sooner orter. She also listed the evidence of Mo Qian¡¯s crime that she had searched, and told me how to store it. She also gave me a hidden camera that could not be detected by ordinary metal detector, which could record Mo Qian when he directly orders me, and the videos of my crime on the spot, which would be sent to her automatically and stored in the Sky Lock. On that day, she got my fingerprints and recordings and used them to unlock the Sky Lock.¡±


    Hong Xuan slightly closed his eyes and said, ¡°Without her, maybe I could only be a tool to kill people in the Mo Family so as to win Mo Qian¡¯s trust, and couldn¡¯t have a chance to keep so much evidence. For so many years, her Sky Lock and you are all that support me to live.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi asked with red eyes, ¡°But why... finally the Sky Lock...¡± As Hong Xuan said, Zhang An¡¯an knew everything about the Mo Family from the very beginning, but still had been carefully helping Chen Yuanxi, Zhang Dong, and Hong Xuan with her own ways.


    ¡°Mo Qian refused to hurt me. He just kept me in the room all the time and didn¡¯t let me sleep. After two days and nights, he asked Boss Zhang toe and hypnotize me. Boss Zhang spent a day dealing with me. Finally, I couldn¡¯t bear it and fell asleep. After that, I didn¡¯t know anything. When I woke up, Boss Zhang brought me here and said that I was useless to the Mo Family. In fact, it was Mo Qian who let me go. I stole Boss Zhang¡¯s cell phone and left a message to you on the micro-blog. Boss Zhang saw it, and put all the photos taken by the paparazzi on the Inte. I asked Boss Zhang to save Zhang An¡¯an...¡± Hong Xuan was a little excited, and Chen Yuanxi hurried to take a cup of hot water for him.


    ¡°Zhang An¡¯an is not Boss Zhang¡¯s biological daughter,¡± Zhao Yuan said, ¡°So, he didn¡¯t want to save her, did he?¡±


    ¡°Not only is she not Boss Zhang¡¯s biological daughter, but Boss Zhang said that she is Mo Qian¡¯s biological daughter! Boss Zhang has been in the Mo Family for many years, how could he not consider his future? I could see that he just regarded Zhang An¡¯an as a bargain chip, which he would use when he leaves the Mo Family in the future. Mo Qian is busy enough with his own affairs, so Boss Zhang naturally chose an opportunity to escape quickly. I think the reason he didn¡¯t kill me is that he wants to use me to control Mo Qian so that he can have a chance to escape,¡± said Hong Xuan.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t Mo Qian know that? If he knows, how could he hurt Zhang An¡¯an like that?¡± Zhao Yuan asked in a trembling voice.


    ¡°Zhang An¡¯an was adopted by Boss Zhang. Moreover, maybe it was not Mo Qian who destroyed the evidence,¡± Chen Yuanxi said, ¡°It seems that Boss Zhang adopted An¡¯an intentionally, and I believe there must be some agreement between him and An¡¯an.¡±


    Seeing Chen Yuanxi¡¯s expressionless face, Zhao Yuan could not help sighing.


    When the three were discussing what to do next, Captain Cao told them that Mo Qian had surrendered!

 Chapter 210 (The House Is Sealed) It’s Like A Tall Building Falling Down

    <h4>Chapter 210 (The House Is Sealed) It¡¯s Like A Tall Building Falling Down</h4>


    The sudden news made the three have nothing to say.


    ¡°Wenxi, you¡¯ve tried before. When you dealt with Chen Tianjiao, Mo Qian didn¡¯t deal with it directly, but provoked dissension between you and Chen Tianjiao, right?¡± Zhao Yuan said, ¡°As expected, Chen Tianjiao will die this time.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi nodded slightly. Mo Qian had all the evidence of Chen Tianjiao¡¯s crime. But as far as he knew, Chen Tianjiao had little evidence of Mo Qian¡¯s crime.


    Zhao Yuan still had no evidence of his father¡¯s death now. He only knew that it was the Mo Family and Mo Qian that did it. But could Mo Qian be punished for his crime? Zhao Yuan did not know, but he would not give up!


    When Zhang Dong heard the news, he left the hospital. He could not wait a month as Chen Yuanxi said.


    Zhang Dong could not exin what had happened clearly. He only mentioned that when he went into the intensive care unit, Zhao Mingjiang had already died. Atst, it was he who set off the fire rm system nearby in the emergency room of the hospital, which attracted people¡¯s attention. Somebody killed Zhao Mingjiang and wanted to frame Zhang Dong. All the videos were in the hands of the initiator of evil.


    At the same time, all the major news medias published the nude pictures of actress Zhang An¡¯an, whose tragedy of that night was exposed to the public.


    ¡°It¡¯s so ridiculous! Is there a bottom line for the media! D*mn it!¡± Hong Xuan suddenly punched his cell phone to pieces.


    In the so-called nude photos, there was a silhouette of a man. It was Mo Qian. It seemed that he had destroyed the important evidence in person. But who took the photos, who sent it to the media, and what was the purpose? A group of people could not know.


    Zhao Yuan and Chen Yuanxi once again visited Zhang An¡¯an, who refused to see them on the grounds of physical difort.


    Because of all kinds of negative news, Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s reputation was ruined.


    Wang Xiang simply resigned to apany Zhang An¡¯an.


    Just as Zhao Yuan expected, Chen Tianjiao and his wife were arrested. Mo Qian, who had confessed his crime, told all the things of the Chens to the police, and he himself became a poor man who had to work for the criminals because of being coerced.


    Chen Yuanxi was also asked to cooperate with the investigation, but it was just a yacting. After all, everyone knew how Chen Tianjiao and Deng Yifei were arrested. Chen Yuanxi¡¯s shares in BCpany, dividends and other assets were also frozen. However, he had already been prepared. He had transferred and sold some shares and dividends, which naturally would not be investigated.


    Among the previous subordinates of Lin Ziwei, someone, who was in charge of the property registration, asked how to deal with Chen Wanxin¡¯s property.


    ¡°Do what you have to do,¡± Chen Yuanxi said coldly


    The man nodded and smiled.


    Mr. and Mrs. Chen¡¯s property had been confiscated. BCpany had been closed down and all the employees were demobilized.


    At the moment, it was in great disorder in the houses of the Chens.


    All the bodyguards were asked to help with the investigation. The houses in Yangzi County and in the small town owned by the Chens were all sealed. Even the houses Chen Tianjiao bought for Chen Wanxin were also sealed. Only Chen Yuanxi¡¯s houses were undamaged, because the name on the real estate certificates was Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°You have nned, you have nned all!¡± Chen Wanxin walked alone on the road, and could not help crying. But what she thought more was that she not only knew that Zhao Mingjiang, Zhao Yuan¡¯s father, was killed by someone sent by her parents, but also knew everything had happened to his mother. Her body was robbed and cremated, and the ashes were scattered ashes at will, which greatly insulted her.


    All was already predestined.


    ¡°Now, what are you doing with me?¡± asked Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°I rented a house downstairs,¡± said Zheng Kai.


    Chen Wanxin nkly stared at thepany with big seals. A few days ago, thepany¡¯s public property was frozen. Now, except for the regr sry paid by thepany before, her all other properties were frozen! She knew that the more terrifying thing woulde soon. If thepany was deemed illegal, she had to repay all the money that she had spent before. At that time, she would be in debt!


    Suddenly, it seemed that the building had copsed.


    She seemed to hear the sound of the sudden copse of the main building of Jifu Universityst year.


    ¡°A¡¯kai!¡± Chen Wanxin could not help holding Zheng Kai and crying, ¡°Zhao Yuan won¡¯t be mine anymore! Why was I born in the Chen Family! Chen Yuanxi... why did Chen Yuanxi do this to my family? His, his surname is Chen, too!¡±


    Zheng Kai tightly hugged Chen Wanxin and could not speak. At the corner of the street, a man was coldly looking at the young woman, who was held tightly in Zheng Kai¡¯s arms.


    As an existing shareholder of thepany, Chen Wanxin was invited by thebor bureau. There, she saw Chen Yuanxi, who she had not seen for nearly a month, and Zhao Yuan, who she had called for help but had note.


    After dealing with everything, the four got out of thebor bureau together.


    ¡°You, return my parents,¡± Chen Wanxin said to Chen Yuanxi, but she dared not look at Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Who return A¡¯yuan¡¯s parents?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    Hearing that, Zhao Yuan immediately looked at Chen Yuanxi with vignce. But after thinking about it, he did not say anything more.


    ¡°And who return my father? Chen Wanxin, you have sent me the photos of my father when he died and pasted them all over my room. When I was in America, you even mailed me my parents¡¯ clothes. Chen Wanxin, how many nightmares I had, how much I hated you! Do you know who killed my father?¡± Chen Yuanxi grabbed Chen Wanxin¡¯s cor and Zheng Kai rushed forward.


    ¡°Zheng Kai! You¡¯d better help none of us as before! Or I won¡¯t regard you as my friend anymore!¡± Chen Yuanxi shouted at Zheng Kai, as if he had changed to another person.


    ¡°She has nothing now. Wenxi, you¡¯re the only family... she has,¡± said Zheng Kai.


    ¡°Chen Wanxin, do you still think my father died by ident? It¡¯s your father, Chen Tianjiao, who killed him! He personally ordered Mo Qian to kill my father in that way! Zheng Kai, do you remember... how Chen Wanxin asked me...¡± Chen Yuanxi was almost out of control, and his lips were trembling. Thinking of the past, Zheng kai could not help turning around.


    ¡°You said my father was miserable when he died! You said his mouth was full of mud! You said he...¡± Chen Yuanxi suddenly stopped, tears running.


    ¡°Chen Wanxin, are you very happy?¡± Chen Yuanxi said as he pushed Chen Wanxin away, and Zheng Kai came forward and held Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°My father... is also your father!¡± Chen Wanxin cried loudly.


    ¡°Now, you finally admit that I¡¯m your brother, do you? You know how your mother and you have tried your best to drive me out of the house in the past seven years! Wait and bury your parents¡¯ bodies!¡±


    ¡°Chen Yuanxi! You¡¯re a b*stard!¡±


    Zheng Kai firmly held Chen Wanxin and sent her away without saying a word.


    In the evening, an unexpected guest visited Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°I brought you a man, miss,¡± said Luo Yang.


    Luo Yang led Chen Wanxin to a basement.


    Chen Wanxin had a close look at the person who was tied on the ground in the corner, with a piece of dirty cloth in his mouth. Under the weak light, she saw the man clearly and was shocked that it was Gu Xi.

 Chapter 213 (Luo Yang, Let It Go) Luo Yang Finally Stops at the Critical Moment

    <h4>Chapter 213 (Luo Yang, Let It Go) Luo Yang Finally Stops at the Critical Moment</h4>


    Zheng Kai jumped off the stool, stripped Gu Xi and himself, and shouted, ¡°Water!¡±


    The prepared water pipes were quickly concentrated on the two people, and the flowing water rushed them crazily.


    Others took buckets to catch water and poured it on them.


    The sound of ambnces was like the dawn after long-time dark, making everyone feel hopeful.


    Chen Yuanxi always remembered Zhao Yuan¡¯s kick to him.


    He covered his stomach and fell to the ground. The man in front of him was in tears.


    ¡°When did you be so selfish and cruel?¡± When the ambnce went away, Zhao Yuan red at Chen Yuanxi. He wanted to go forward and beat Chen Yuanxi again, but he suddenly withdrew his hands and pped himself.


    ¡°This is the first time you hit me. Yes, I should be hit and die!¡±


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, if Gu Xi dies, I will die with him. Don¡¯t worry.¡±


    ¡°Chen Yuanxi! How dare you!¡± Zhao Yuan grabbed Chen Yuanxi¡¯s cor and sobbed bitterly, ¡°Wenxi, I know that Zhang Dong and uncle Xuan are prepared by you. But life is the most important. How can you risk the life of A¡¯kai and Gu Xi?¡±


    ¡°Yes, even if the security experts can detect the signal source, they may not be able to catch the suspects. There still are many opportunities to catch the suspects, but Zheng Kai only has one life. Chen Yuanxi, you are so conceited! You thought Chen Wanxin was kind to Zheng Kai, but you didn¡¯t know that Chen Wanxin had be a poisonous woman who couldn¡¯t tell right from wrong when her home broke down! If Gu Xi really dies, I will definitely kill Luo Yang to avenge him!¡± Chen Yuanxi thought in his mind.


    Zhao Yuan did not believe it, but had to believe it. Since Lin Wenxi ignored Wang Zhengjuan and Zhou Nannan¡¯s lifelong happiness, he had changedpletely. He was still as smart, strong, and tough as before, but his mind had changed. ¡°But what reason could I have for ming him? When my father died, I also wanted to join the Mo Family. At that time, if Chen Wanxin hadn¡¯t deliberately changed to target at Lin Wenxi, I would have killed many people and could never be a good man. Didn¡¯t I care about people¡¯s life at that time? Maybe I¡¯m the same as Wenxi.¡±


    Thinking of that, Zhao Yuan hugged Chen Yuanxi and patted his back slowly, gently saying, ¡°It¡¯s OK. It will be OK.¡± After a long time, Chen Yuanxi finally rxed, and cried while lying on Zhao Yuan¡¯s shoulder.


    But Zhao Yuan seemed to have forgotten that he always hated himself who had wanted to join the Mo Family, who had been pretentious and hurt Wenxi again and again.


    Guarding Gu Xi and waiting for his wakefulness in the hospital had be the only tacit understanding of them. Zheng Kai was always careless and there were a lot of bruises on his neck, chest and arm, so he was suggested to reduce walking and rest. Zhao Yuan was not good at dealing with minor work. Although he had made great efforts, he was still excluded from the list. Therefore, it was Chen Yuanxi¡¯s responsibility to assist nurses in dealing with Gu Xi¡¯s wounds.


    At rest of the time, everyone was silent.


    They wanted him to wake up, but dared not.


    Forty-three percent of the skin was severely burned, about ten percent of which was deeply burned of third-grade. Half of the scalp, forehead, mouth corner and left cheek were almost all disfigured.


    Chen Yuanxi did not dare to imagine the appearance of Gu Xi after the bandages were removed. It only took a second from heaven to hell, or from an angel to a devil.


    Fortunately, Gu Xi survived.


    Because of the good care of them, Gu Xi who was cured in the ICU was not infected, but also soon woke up. Soon, he coulde out of the ICU and lived in the general nursing ward.


    Chen Yuanxi looked at the medical record and Gu Xi, who hade to his senses and was opening his eyes, and then he deeply lowered his head, and tears fell from his fingers.


    ¡°Gu Xi, if it hurts, just say it, OK?¡± Zheng Kai smiled, but dared not touch any part of Gu Xi¡¯s body.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine...¡± Gu Xi tried to smile, but he immediately felt a sharp pain in her face and almost cried.


    ¡°Xi...¡± Gu Xi opened his mouth and called.


    Zheng Kai and Zhao Yuan racked their brains to figure out Gu Xi¡¯s idea.


    ¡°I¡¯m here... Wenxi is here.¡± Chen Yuanxi hurriedly walked over and sat beside Gu Xi¡¯s pillow.


    Captain Cao, who came in, did not want to break the silence in the ward. After a long time, he called out the three, and went to the smoking area in the corner together to smoke.


    Captain Cao had carefully checked the so-called timer, which was actually fake. Even when the time was up, no devices would be triggered. The container of sulfuric acid was strange. He frowned and asked, ¡°Why did the suspect show mercy in the end?¡±


    The container was clearly electronically controlled. The in it could be opened slowly until it was opened totally, and then the sulfuric acid would all be poured out. If so, Gu Xi and Zheng Kai below the container might be burned into a mass of carbon, and could not be distinguished. This kind of way was so horrible. But they actually asked Lin Wenxi to rece Zheng Kai, showing that they were so evil! However, less than one fifth of the had been opened.


    They could not help but look at each other and sweat. Zhao Yuan even held Chen Yuanxi tightly, regardless of Captain Cao¡¯s surprise. Seeing that, Zheng Kai went up to hold the two together, felicitating that they all had survived. After a second, Captain Cao calmed down.


    However, they could not get in touch with Chen Wanxin, the prime suspect.


    But Zheng Kai firmly believed that Chen Wanxin would not do such crazy things, while Zhao Yuan and Chen Yuanxi made noments. Captain Cao once again received another video, which clearly showed the fighting process between Luo Yang and Chen Wanxin.


    It was true that some people showed mercy in the end, but he was forced to do that.


    Seeing that Chen Yuanxi did not enter the factory, Luo Yang opened the. When Chen Wanxin arrived, she was surprised to see that Zheng Kai was tied to the stone bench in the video.


    ¡°If we don¡¯t threaten him, will hee in? Don¡¯t you think about your father who is still in jail?¡± Luo Yang said first.


    Then he said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the sulfuric acid is harmless. Look, Zheng Kai is OK, isn¡¯t he?¡± Luo Yang constantlyforted Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°Where¡¯s Gu Xi?¡± asked Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°He is tied over there. Even if all the sulfuric acid is poured out, he will be OK.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi did not enter atst. He had been procrastinating.


    Luo Yang was not far away from the oil pipe factory, because he was very worried about the n ording to his years of experience. He did not believe that Chen Yuanxi dared toe alone, but he did not see any police in the video. He was afraid of the strength of the special forces, and was more worried that he would be shot at any time by a sniper in somewhere because of some ws that he had not realized.


    After the rm rang twice, Chen Yuanxi finally got closer. And there were less than 15 minutes left.


    ¡°He should be so calm. It seems that I should rece Zheng Kai by Gu Xi. Will Gu Xi cries for help? Zheng Kai even doesn¡¯t frown!¡± Luo Yang stared at Zheng Kai in the video, seeing he clenching his lips and staring at the sulfuric acid hanging above head.


    Luo Yang was very angry.


    He could not help pressing the switch. Immediately, more sulfuric acid overflowed, and some ck spots could be seen on Zheng Kai¡¯s neck.


    Chen Wanxin was still unresponsive. ¡°Fortunately, this woman doesn¡¯t hamper me.¡±


    In less than ten minutes, Luo Yang could not help pressing the switch again.


    Once again, more sulfuric acid overflowed and Zheng Kai frowned slightly.


    ¡°Luo Yang, let it go,¡± Chen Wanxin suddenly said wearily.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be right away! Is he really alone?¡± Luo Yang was doubted. But the oil pipe factory was an abandoned base of the Mo Family and he was wanted at present, so he did not have too much ability to arrange more monitoring. In other words, he was not particrly clear about the coverage of the monitor. Furthermore, once the time was up, the timer would be useless and they could not threaten Chen Yuanxi anymore.


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe that Chen Yuanxi hasn¡¯t responded!¡± Luo Yang was extremely angry, looking like a mad dog.


    ¡°He¡¯s no longer a normal person,¡± said Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll let Zheng Kai die!¡± Luo Yang suddenly opened the wider. A lot of sulfuric acids had dripped on Zheng Kai¡¯s body, his clothes were burned several ck holes, and he closed his eyes painfully.


    Chen Wanxin pounced on Luo Yang.


    Luo Yang waved the remote control in his hand, and Chen Wanxin beat Luo Yang while looking at the video. But it did not help.


    But they all saw Gu Xi break away from the rope...


    ¡°Luo Yang, I¡¯ll promise you. Is that alright?¡± Chen Wanxin cried out in despair.


    Luo Yang smiled. His goal was achieved.


    The woman in front of him, who had been arrogant for more than ten years, lowered her head and agreed to go with him.


    The power was cut off immediately.


    ¡°Are you still going to see Zhao Yuan?¡± Luo Yang looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t lostpletely. I have another thing to do. If I lose, I¡¯ll go with you. If I disobey this oath, I¡¯ll live alone and die painfully!¡± Chen Wanxin said coldly.


    ¡°Deal!¡± Luo Yang spat at the ground


    Gu Xi¡¯s condition gradually stabilized, and his vital signs were gentle. Everything was normal, and they were waiting to remove the bandage.


    A hospital in the small town.


    ¡°It¡¯s OK. I know what I¡¯m going to be.¡± Gu Xi took Chen Yuanxi¡¯s hands, and showed a smile to him, then he smiled at Zheng Kai and Zhao Yuan.


    Zheng Kai could not help but take a step back slightly. When a smile appeared on such a face where there were blood blisters and scars, it was so horrible. He could ept Hong Xuan¡¯s ferocious face when he saw him, but he could not ept the smile of such a beautiful youth had be so horrible. The smile, like a knife, stabbed him.


    He could not stand it anymore and ran out crazily.


    ¡°He hates me, doesn¡¯t he?¡± Gu Xi asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°No. He¡¯s sadder than all of us, Gu Xi.¡± Chen Yuanxi forced a smile and could not help shedding tears.


    At this time, Zhao Yuan raised the phone and said to Chen Yuanxi, ¡°Take care of Gu Xi... I have to go back.¡±


    ¡°Where are you going? What... happened?¡± Chen Yuanxi seemed to have doped out and his face turned pale at once.


    ¡°My aunt said that my grandmother has been found.¡± Zhao Yuan showed joy on his face.

 Chapter 215 (Is the Will Valid?) They Are Forced to Get Married by Their Fathers

    <h4>Chapter 215 (Is the Will Valid?) They Are Forced to Get Married by Their Fathers</h4>


    It was a piece of big news indeed. Chen Wanxin was not only the former head of BCpany, the key enterprise in the small town, but also the daughter of the Secretary who had been arrested twice and sent to Beijing. Zhao Yuan, whose father was framed and killed, had started from scratch and was the president of a listedpany. Both of the parties¡¯ identities were so special and they had something to do with Lin Ziwei, the deputy secretary who had died in the attack, and Zhang An¡¯an, the former star. The news was really a piece of big news!


    Zhao Yuan returned to the hospital with aplex look. He saw in the video that Chen Yuanxi¡¯s neck had been cruelly and urately cut by a knife. Anyway, he could not betray his heart.


    Wang Xiang had been taking care of Zhang An¡¯an, who had not recovered after a long time treatment. He heard about the matter about Gu Xi and Chen Yuanxi, so he left Zhang An¡¯an for the moment to visit them. Seeing Gu Xi¡¯s bed full of dolls, building blocks and puzzles bought by Zheng Kai, he could not helpughing for a while. Then he went to Chen Yuanxi¡¯s ward and saw Zhang Dong, who even wanted to feed all his blood to Chen Yuanxi and joked about him. He alternated between Gu Xi¡¯s ward and Chen Yuanxi¡¯s ward, and both of them made him worried and scold injurers. Zheng Kai was very annoyed and almost beat him. If Gu Xi had not smiled at Zheng Kai, Wang Xiang would have lived in the next ward.


    When Wang Xiang saw Zhao Yuan, he knew he should be quiet.


    Chen Yuanxi looked at Zhao Yuan quietly.


    ¡°You want to force Chen Tianjiao to show up as well as me, right?¡± asked Zhao Yuan.


    Chen Yuanxi did not want to talk. He did not know who he wanted to force to show up.


    On the same day, Zhao Yuan knew that his grandmother had passed away and that his mother, who his father and he had been waiting for more than ten years, had already passed away. The blow to him was as great as the death of Zhao Mingjiang. Chen Yuanxi had not done his duty to Zhao Yuan¡¯s grandmother due to his carelessness, so it was normal no matter how Zhao Yuanined.


    ¡°It was an emergency. Wenxi couldn¡¯t think so much!¡± At the risk of being arrested, Zhang Dong, who had been taking care of Chen Yuanxi, frowned and said.


    ¡°Wenxi has a quick wit, don¡¯t you know?¡± Zhao Yuan smiled coldly.


    ¡°Yes, it only works for you.¡± Chen Yuanxi smiled and apologized. ¡°I am sorry for you, because Chen Tianjiao is actually my biological father.¡±


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, long time no see.¡± A clear and familiar voice came from the door. Chen Wanxin, with a shy look, smiled and sat down.


    Chen Wanxin was smiling, calm and graceful. It seemed that she was still a young girl who she used to be when she entered the university in those days, which really surprised them. But Chen Yuanxi saw too much lipstick on her face and some wrinkles on the corner of her eyes that she could not hide. Time did not favor the girl whom once countless boys liked.


    ¡°Here are all the people who should havee. Otherwise, the show will be boring,¡± Wang Xiang said thoughtfully.


    ¡°Even if someone shouldn¡¯te, they still wille. How about An¡¯an?¡± Chen Wanxin seemed unresponsive.


    ¡°Thanks for your care. She¡¯s getting better. But when some people make trouble, An¡¯an will be reminded of the past. How can she recover?¡± Wang Xiang grinned and said, ¡°A Yuan, I¡¯m right, aren¡¯t I?¡±


    For a moment everybody was quiet.


    ¡°Atmosphere killer, are you satisfied? You haven¡¯t changed your temperament at all. I really don¡¯t know why An¡¯an likes you,¡± Chen Wanxin said with a smile, ¡°I think Captain Cao has already told you. I¡¯m sorry about Gu Xi, but I tried my best to save him. Today, I just want to ask Zhao Yuan whether Uncle Zhao¡¯s will is valid. If you say it¡¯s not, I¡¯ll disappear at once. If it¡¯s still valid, I¡¯ll wait for you all the time!¡±


    This was Zhao Yuan¡¯s most vulnerable moment. Chen Wanxin had really chosen the right time. But Chen Yuanxi knew she had nned it in advance.


    But Chen Yuanxi did not want to talk. On his way to the hospital, Chen Yuanxi had passed Chen Tianjiao¡¯s former residence. From the great change of Chen Family, Chen Yuanxi knew what it meant to be ¡°The affairs of the world are inconstant.¡± Catching Luo Yang by Hong Xuan was the most important thing. Chen Yuanxi did not care in his mind what Chen Wanxin would say and do.


    ¡°Wanxin, let¡¯s talk about itter.¡± Zhao Yuan waved.


    ¡°I just want the answer today,¡± Chen Wanxin said with a smile.


    Zhao Yuan was silent.


    ¡°It¡¯s very difficult for him,¡± Chen Yuanxi thought, ¡°Just like me, as my father wanted me to marry Hong Yan. It¡¯s funny to think about it.¡± Even though he knew the girl, who he had get along with when they were children, had been running Ziyun Piano Store, he had not get in touch with her for more than seven years, and even more, she was the girl his father wanted him to marry. Chen Yuanxi did not think much. Hong Yan also had never actively contacted him, as if as long as they did not meet, they could ignore this will.


    ¡°Chen Wanxin, the one who loves Wenxi most is Zhao Yuan! Which time did you win over Wenxi? Let Zhao Yuan go, will you?¡± Gu Xi suddenly ran out of the next ward.


    As soon as Chen Wanxin saw Gu Xi¡¯s appearance, she was stunned for three seconds and then screamed directly. The small mirror in her bag, which she used when she made up beforeing in, fell to the ground.


    Gu Xi saw himself in the mirror.


    Zheng Kai kicked the mirror away. These days, he had never left anything in the ward in which Gu Xi¡¯s face could be reflected. This also was what Chen Yuanxi told repeatedly after he left. Even when Gu Xi washed his face, Zheng Kai dipped the water in the teacup carefully with medical cotton swabs and washed his face slowly. At present, the wounds had scabbed and there were a lot of scabs on his face, among which there were a few narrow and ferocious red scars, like living insects. After a long time, Zheng Kai finally epted Gu Xi¡¯s present appearance. While getting along with him day and night, he was afraid that something bad would happen. Today, he did not expect that Gu Xi would rush in...


    Before Gu Xi reacted, Zheng Kai held him in his arms and said, ¡°Gu Xi, there will be surgeries of next stage. You can have a skin grafting, you know? Besides, you are not ugly now. Gu Xi! Don¡¯t cry! The doctor said you can¡¯t cry. If you cry again, I¡¯ll cry with you.¡±


    Zheng Kai coaxed andforted Gu Xi as he took him away, then Zheng Kai¡¯s words came from the next door from time to time.


    ¡°Whoa! Look, am I terrible? If you frown again, I will be fiercer...¡±


    Wang Xiang had been very anxious, but now he could not help smiling. ¡°Zheng Kai... will be a good father in the future.¡±


    Seeing that he had ruined the atmosphere again, Wang Xiang made a face and said, ¡°As a child, I¡¯d better not interfere with adult¡¯s business. I¡¯ll go to y building blocks with another child, Gu Xi.¡±


    Zheng Kai took great effort to let Gu Xi sleep, then he asked Wang Xiang to look after Gu Xi for him and returned here.


    ¡°Let me give you the answer.¡± Zheng Kai suddenly appeared, holding a note in his hand, and handed it to Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°This is uncle Zhao¡¯s real will.¡±

 Chapter 213 (Luo Yang, Let It Go) Luo Yang Finally Stops at the Critical Moment

    <h4>Chapter 213 (Luo Yang, Let It Go) Luo Yang Finally Stops at the Critical Moment</h4>


    Zheng Kai jumped off the stool, stripped Gu Xi and himself, and shouted, ¡°Water!¡±


    The prepared water pipes were quickly concentrated on the two people, and the flowing water rushed them crazily.


    Others took buckets to catch water and poured it on them.


    The sound of ambnces was like the dawn after long-time dark, making everyone feel hopeful.


    Chen Yuanxi always remembered Zhao Yuan¡¯s kick to him.


    He covered his stomach and fell to the ground. The man in front of him was in tears.


    ¡°When did you be so selfish and cruel?¡± When the ambnce went away, Zhao Yuan red at Chen Yuanxi. He wanted to go forward and beat Chen Yuanxi again, but he suddenly withdrew his hands and pped himself.


    ¡°This is the first time you hit me. Yes, I should be hit and die!¡±


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, if Gu Xi dies, I will die with him. Don¡¯t worry.¡±


    ¡°Chen Yuanxi! How dare you!¡± Zhao Yuan grabbed Chen Yuanxi¡¯s cor and sobbed bitterly, ¡°Wenxi, I know that Zhang Dong and uncle Xuan are prepared by you. But life is the most important. How can you risk the life of A¡¯kai and Gu Xi?¡±


    ¡°Yes, even if the security experts can detect the signal source, they may not be able to catch the suspects. There still are many opportunities to catch the suspects, but Zheng Kai only has one life. Chen Yuanxi, you are so conceited! You thought Chen Wanxin was kind to Zheng Kai, but you didn¡¯t know that Chen Wanxin had be a poisonous woman who couldn¡¯t tell right from wrong when her home broke down! If Gu Xi really dies, I will definitely kill Luo Yang to avenge him!¡± Chen Yuanxi thought in his mind.


    Zhao Yuan did not believe it, but had to believe it. Since Lin Wenxi ignored Wang Zhengjuan and Zhou Nannan¡¯s lifelong happiness, he had changedpletely. He was still as smart, strong, and tough as before, but his mind had changed. ¡°But what reason could I have for ming him? When my father died, I also wanted to join the Mo Family. At that time, if Chen Wanxin hadn¡¯t deliberately changed to target at Lin Wenxi, I would have killed many people and could never be a good man. Didn¡¯t I care about people¡¯s life at that time? Maybe I¡¯m the same as Wenxi.¡±


    Thinking of that, Zhao Yuan hugged Chen Yuanxi and patted his back slowly, gently saying, ¡°It¡¯s OK. It will be OK.¡± After a long time, Chen Yuanxi finally rxed, and cried while lying on Zhao Yuan¡¯s shoulder.


    But Zhao Yuan seemed to have forgotten that he always hated himself who had wanted to join the Mo Family, who had been pretentious and hurt Wenxi again and again.


    Guarding Gu Xi and waiting for his wakefulness in the hospital had be the only tacit understanding of them. Zheng Kai was always careless and there were a lot of bruises on his neck, chest and arm, so he was suggested to reduce walking and rest. Zhao Yuan was not good at dealing with minor work. Although he had made great efforts, he was still excluded from the list. Therefore, it was Chen Yuanxi¡¯s responsibility to assist nurses in dealing with Gu Xi¡¯s wounds.


    At rest of the time, everyone was silent.


    They wanted him to wake up, but dared not.


    Forty-three percent of the skin was severely burned, about ten percent of which was deeply burned of third-grade. Half of the scalp, forehead, mouth corner and left cheek were almost all disfigured.


    Chen Yuanxi did not dare to imagine the appearance of Gu Xi after the bandages were removed. It only took a second from heaven to hell, or from an angel to a devil.


    Fortunately, Gu Xi survived.


    Because of the good care of them, Gu Xi who was cured in the ICU was not infected, but also soon woke up. Soon, he coulde out of the ICU and lived in the general nursing ward.


    Chen Yuanxi looked at the medical record and Gu Xi, who hade to his senses and was opening his eyes, and then he deeply lowered his head, and tears fell from his fingers.


    ¡°Gu Xi, if it hurts, just say it, OK?¡± Zheng Kai smiled, but dared not touch any part of Gu Xi¡¯s body.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine...¡± Gu Xi tried to smile, but he immediately felt a sharp pain in her face and almost cried.


    ¡°Xi...¡± Gu Xi opened his mouth and called.


    Zheng Kai and Zhao Yuan racked their brains to figure out Gu Xi¡¯s idea.


    ¡°I¡¯m here... Wenxi is here.¡± Chen Yuanxi hurriedly walked over and sat beside Gu Xi¡¯s pillow.


    Captain Cao, who came in, did not want to break the silence in the ward. After a long time, he called out the three, and went to the smoking area in the corner together to smoke.


    Captain Cao had carefully checked the so-called timer, which was actually fake. Even when the time was up, no devices would be triggered. The container of sulfuric acid was strange. He frowned and asked, ¡°Why did the suspect show mercy in the end?¡±


    The container was clearly electronically controlled. The in it could be opened slowly until it was opened totally, and then the sulfuric acid would all be poured out. If so, Gu Xi and Zheng Kai below the container might be burned into a mass of carbon, and could not be distinguished. This kind of way was so horrible. But they actually asked Lin Wenxi to rece Zheng Kai, showing that they were so evil! However, less than one fifth of the had been opened.


    They could not help but look at each other and sweat. Zhao Yuan even held Chen Yuanxi tightly, regardless of Captain Cao¡¯s surprise. Seeing that, Zheng Kai went up to hold the two together, felicitating that they all had survived. After a second, Captain Cao calmed down.


    However, they could not get in touch with Chen Wanxin, the prime suspect.


    But Zheng Kai firmly believed that Chen Wanxin would not do such crazy things, while Zhao Yuan and Chen Yuanxi made noments. Captain Cao once again received another video, which clearly showed the fighting process between Luo Yang and Chen Wanxin.


    It was true that some people showed mercy in the end, but he was forced to do that.


    Seeing that Chen Yuanxi did not enter the factory, Luo Yang opened the. When Chen Wanxin arrived, she was surprised to see that Zheng Kai was tied to the stone bench in the video.


    ¡°If we don¡¯t threaten him, will hee in? Don¡¯t you think about your father who is still in jail?¡± Luo Yang said first.


    Then he said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the sulfuric acid is harmless. Look, Zheng Kai is OK, isn¡¯t he?¡± Luo Yang constantlyforted Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°Where¡¯s Gu Xi?¡± asked Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°He is tied over there. Even if all the sulfuric acid is poured out, he will be OK.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi did not enter atst. He had been procrastinating.


    Luo Yang was not far away from the oil pipe factory, because he was very worried about the n ording to his years of experience. He did not believe that Chen Yuanxi dared toe alone, but he did not see any police in the video. He was afraid of the strength of the special forces, and was more worried that he would be shot at any time by a sniper in somewhere because of some ws that he had not realized.


    After the rm rang twice, Chen Yuanxi finally got closer. And there were less than 15 minutes left.


    ¡°He should be so calm. It seems that I should rece Zheng Kai by Gu Xi. Will Gu Xi cries for help? Zheng Kai even doesn¡¯t frown!¡± Luo Yang stared at Zheng Kai in the video, seeing he clenching his lips and staring at the sulfuric acid hanging above head.


    Luo Yang was very angry.


    He could not help pressing the switch. Immediately, more sulfuric acid overflowed, and some ck spots could be seen on Zheng Kai¡¯s neck.


    Chen Wanxin was still unresponsive. ¡°Fortunately, this woman doesn¡¯t hamper me.¡±


    In less than ten minutes, Luo Yang could not help pressing the switch again.


    Once again, more sulfuric acid overflowed and Zheng Kai frowned slightly.


    ¡°Luo Yang, let it go,¡± Chen Wanxin suddenly said wearily.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be right away! Is he really alone?¡± Luo Yang was doubted. But the oil pipe factory was an abandoned base of the Mo Family and he was wanted at present, so he did not have too much ability to arrange more monitoring. In other words, he was not particrly clear about the coverage of the monitor. Furthermore, once the time was up, the timer would be useless and they could not threaten Chen Yuanxi anymore.


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe that Chen Yuanxi hasn¡¯t responded!¡± Luo Yang was extremely angry, looking like a mad dog.


    ¡°He¡¯s no longer a normal person,¡± said Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll let Zheng Kai die!¡± Luo Yang suddenly opened the wider. A lot of sulfuric acids had dripped on Zheng Kai¡¯s body, his clothes were burned several ck holes, and he closed his eyes painfully.


    Chen Wanxin pounced on Luo Yang.


    Luo Yang waved the remote control in his hand, and Chen Wanxin beat Luo Yang while looking at the video. But it did not help.


    But they all saw Gu Xi break away from the rope...


    ¡°Luo Yang, I¡¯ll promise you. Is that alright?¡± Chen Wanxin cried out in despair.


    Luo Yang smiled. His goal was achieved.


    The woman in front of him, who had been arrogant for more than ten years, lowered her head and agreed to go with him.


    The power was cut off immediately.


    ¡°Are you still going to see Zhao Yuan?¡± Luo Yang looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t lostpletely. I have another thing to do. If I lose, I¡¯ll go with you. If I disobey this oath, I¡¯ll live alone and die painfully!¡± Chen Wanxin said coldly.


    ¡°Deal!¡± Luo Yang spat at the ground


    Gu Xi¡¯s condition gradually stabilized, and his vital signs were gentle. Everything was normal, and they were waiting to remove the bandage.


    A hospital in the small town.


    ¡°It¡¯s OK. I know what I¡¯m going to be.¡± Gu Xi took Chen Yuanxi¡¯s hands, and showed a smile to him, then he smiled at Zheng Kai and Zhao Yuan.


    Zheng Kai could not help but take a step back slightly. When a smile appeared on such a face where there were blood blisters and scars, it was so horrible. He could ept Hong Xuan¡¯s ferocious face when he saw him, but he could not ept the smile of such a beautiful youth had be so horrible. The smile, like a knife, stabbed him.


    He could not stand it anymore and ran out crazily.


    ¡°He hates me, doesn¡¯t he?¡± Gu Xi asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°No. He¡¯s sadder than all of us, Gu Xi.¡± Chen Yuanxi forced a smile and could not help shedding tears.


    At this time, Zhao Yuan raised the phone and said to Chen Yuanxi, ¡°Take care of Gu Xi... I have to go back.¡±


    ¡°Where are you going? What... happened?¡± Chen Yuanxi seemed to have doped out and his face turned pale at once.


    ¡°My aunt said that my grandmother has been found.¡± Zhao Yuan showed joy on his face.

 Chapter 217 (A Cemetery Is over There) Justice Is Upheld and the Chens Are Sentenced

    <h4>Chapter 217 (A Cemetery Is over There) Justice Is Upheld and the Chens Are Sentenced</h4>


    Chen Yuanxi and Zhang Dong set off for Beijing.


    ¡°Won¡¯t you really go to Yangzi County to see Zhao Yuan?¡± asked Zhang Dong.


    Chen Yuanxi shook his head and said, ¡°I just hope he will live a smooth and steady life.¡±


    ¡°And you?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re still here, aren¡¯t you?¡± Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.


    Zhang Dong was frightened to step back.


    ¡°The world is so big. Let¡¯s find a ce and conceal our identities to spend our whole lives together,¡± Chen Yuanxi said again with a smile.


    ¡°Wenxi, you can tell such a joke to anyone, except for me, because I will take it seriously,¡± said Zhang Dong.


    ¡°Who knows? Maybe I¡¯m serious.¡± Chen Yuanxi grinned.


    Zhang Dong frowned and said nothing.


    Seeing that, Chen Yuanxi shrugged and said, ¡°Come on, I won¡¯t tease you. Let¡¯s go!¡±


    Outside the Fourth Ring Road in Beijing, Chen Yuanxi and Zhang Dong rented a house with two rooms and a hall.


    A monthter, Chen Tianjiao asked to see Chen Yuanxi again.


    This was a prosperous and lonely city, but also a noisy city.


    Chen Yuanxi wandered around the First Ring Road and every day went to Tian An Men. He did nothing else but enjoy the sunny day in November. He wandered around the Outer Ring Road, went to the Badaling Great Wall from time to time, and silently watched the wall winding to the end of the sky. Sometimes he would sit on the overpass beside the Yonghe Temple for a long time until the setting sun turned from yellow to red. He wanted to go back, but did not know where to go. He knew he was lost.


    He was lost, so he went with the flow of people. Everywhere he went, he would stop to taste the food and observe the person there. He was like a tourist in the time, and the people in front of him were passers-by. He sat in a ce and coldly looked at the life.


    Chen Yuanxi heard a story during hisst visit to Chen Tianjiao.


    A story about his biological mother Huang Xiya, Chen Tianjiao, Lin Ziwei and Deng Yifei.


    ¡°If I had known that she was pregnant and couldn¡¯t wait, I wouldn¡¯t have embarrassed her... I would have married her right away, even if I wouldn¡¯t get a better promotion. Maybe I would have lived happily with you. It shouldn¡¯t have happened. My favorite woman... As for Lin Ziwei, although he was a cleanhanded official and was good to the people, didn¡¯t he make any mistake in this matter? As long as he only did one thing wrong in his life, he was wrong all his life.¡±


    ¡°I killed your adoptive father, which is the most right thing I did but also the worst thing. He was really good to your mother and you and has done everything I can¡¯t. I¡¯vemitted too many crimes in my life. The only relief is that I didn¡¯t let you do anything against thew. Let¡¯s take it as apensation for your mother and you. When you see your mother in the future, I hope you will be fair to me, and at least restore the truth of this matter to her, and let her not hate me for a lifetime.¡± After finishing, Chen Tianjiao stood up tremblingly, which meant that this was thest second Chen Yuanxi saw him.


    Chen Tianjiao finally turned around and looked at Chen Yuanxi, saying, ¡°My son, I¡¯m really worried about how you¡¯re going on alone. We¡¯re all gone, and your mother can¡¯t be found. You¡¯re really alone in the world. Live a good life. No matter whom you¡¯ll live with, Zhao Yuan or somebody else, just live a good life. I¡¯m, I¡¯m sorry for you. Besides, Wanxin is not bad in nature. If possible, I hope you... forget it. Take care of yourselves.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi kept silent all the time. It was not until Chen Tianjiao disappeared behind the ss door that he called dad.


    One day three monthster, Chen Yuanxi was crying in the hotel. The wine in the window had beenpletely drunk by him, and the cigarette boxes were all over the floor.


    At four o¡¯clock in the morning, Chen Yuanxi could not fall asleep. Zhang Dong and he lit a cigarette again, silently looking at the busy traffic downstairs.


    Chen Yuanxi seemed to hear the gunshot of somewhere clearly.


    The cigarette had been wet by tears and could not be lit.


    Zhang Dong could not help cuddling Chen Yuanxi in his arms and said, ¡°Yuanxi, just cry, okay?¡±


    How could he cry?


    Soon, it was early in the morning.


    Chen Yuanxi went to Zhongshan Park and then to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, wandering to the afternoon without eating or drinking. After receiving a call, he went to the barber shop. He asked the barber to make an energetic hairstyle for him so as to hide his tiredness caused by sleeplessness all night, then he came to a funeral parlor in full swing.


    Chen Wanxin stood there with red and swollen eyes. It was unknown who she was looking at. Zheng Kai was nervous. He held Gu Xi in one hand and stared at Chen Wanxin while looking around.


    It was not until Chen Yuanxi approached that Chen Wanxin¡¯s eyes began to glow with hatred.


    ¡°How dare youe to take the urn? Are you not afraid of Luo Yang killing you?¡± Chen Wanxin asked coldly.


    ¡°I have bodyguards, and so do you.¡± Chen Yuanxi¡¯s face remained unchanged.


    ¡°Are you here tough at me?¡± Chen Wanxin scrutinized Chen Yuanxi, her only half brother. Seeing that he wascent and in ruddy health, Chen Wanxin could not help being sad, and heavily pped Chen Yuanxi.


    Chen Yuanxi did not fight back. He stroked the urn for a while and said, ¡°If I don¡¯t know anything between dad and my mom in the past, I will fight back. Let¡¯s end the war of the previous generation, sister.¡±


    When Chen Wanxin heard this, she cried and snapped, ¡°Is it useful for you to call him dad? Since you came back to the Chen Family, I can¡¯t tell whether your smile and anger are sincere. I dare not be your sister!¡±


    ¡°Fallen leaves return to the roots. I found a cemetery in Yangzi County for father. Here is the address. Take it.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t need it!¡± said Chen Wanxin,


    ¡°You need it, so do I. Your current food and clothing are provided by Zheng Kai, and you still owe the country money,¡± Chen Yuanxi said in a loud voice.


    ¡°No!¡± Chen Wanxin pushed him away.


    ¡°The cemetery is in Tianfu Vige, the little mountain vige where father was born. It is far away from the county and no one can find it. There are some of your close cousins there,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    Hearing that, Chen Wanxin slightly changed her looks. Looking at the note in Chen Yuanxi¡¯s hand, she, holding the urn, slowly took it and pretended to walk easily. But at the corner, she suddenly squatted down and burst into tears while holding the urn.


    Gu Xi could not help squatting down to cry with Chen Wanxin. He did not know theplicated story among others. He only knew that Chen Wanxin had saved him and Zheng Kai at the beginning. He also knew that Zheng Kai had been very good to him and Chen Wanxin had been gentle to him no matter how she was angry with Zheng Kai.


    Gu Xi looked at Chen Yuanxi¡¯s back again, rushed up and hold him from behind, saying, ¡°Yuanxi, I hope you will live a good life! I found a job as a cook in the business street where used to be Jifu University. I can support myself. I know you always care about me. I know it...¡±


    Chen Yuanxi did not look back. He gently stroked Gu Xi¡¯s hands and said, ¡°If you are not happy, tell me, okay? Does the wound still hurt?¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt. Yuanxi, I¡¯m very happy, very happy,¡± said Gu Xi.


    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡±


    ¡°Gu Xi, will you be happy? Will you really be happy when the man you love most always looks at a woman? Sorry, I can¡¯t do more.¡±


    When Chen Yuanxi left, Zhang Dong saw two lines of tears dripping from his eyes.

 Chapter 215 (Is the Will Valid?) They Are Forced to Get Married by Their Fathers

    <h4>Chapter 215 (Is the Will Valid?) They Are Forced to Get Married by Their Fathers</h4>


    It was a piece of big news indeed. Chen Wanxin was not only the former head of BCpany, the key enterprise in the small town, but also the daughter of the Secretary who had been arrested twice and sent to Beijing. Zhao Yuan, whose father was framed and killed, had started from scratch and was the president of a listedpany. Both of the parties¡¯ identities were so special and they had something to do with Lin Ziwei, the deputy secretary who had died in the attack, and Zhang An¡¯an, the former star. The news was really a piece of big news!


    Zhao Yuan returned to the hospital with aplex look. He saw in the video that Chen Yuanxi¡¯s neck had been cruelly and urately cut by a knife. Anyway, he could not betray his heart.


    Wang Xiang had been taking care of Zhang An¡¯an, who had not recovered after a long time treatment. He heard about the matter about Gu Xi and Chen Yuanxi, so he left Zhang An¡¯an for the moment to visit them. Seeing Gu Xi¡¯s bed full of dolls, building blocks and puzzles bought by Zheng Kai, he could not helpughing for a while. Then he went to Chen Yuanxi¡¯s ward and saw Zhang Dong, who even wanted to feed all his blood to Chen Yuanxi and joked about him. He alternated between Gu Xi¡¯s ward and Chen Yuanxi¡¯s ward, and both of them made him worried and scold injurers. Zheng Kai was very annoyed and almost beat him. If Gu Xi had not smiled at Zheng Kai, Wang Xiang would have lived in the next ward.


    When Wang Xiang saw Zhao Yuan, he knew he should be quiet.


    Chen Yuanxi looked at Zhao Yuan quietly.


    ¡°You want to force Chen Tianjiao to show up as well as me, right?¡± asked Zhao Yuan.


    Chen Yuanxi did not want to talk. He did not know who he wanted to force to show up.


    On the same day, Zhao Yuan knew that his grandmother had passed away and that his mother, who his father and he had been waiting for more than ten years, had already passed away. The blow to him was as great as the death of Zhao Mingjiang. Chen Yuanxi had not done his duty to Zhao Yuan¡¯s grandmother due to his carelessness, so it was normal no matter how Zhao Yuanined.


    ¡°It was an emergency. Wenxi couldn¡¯t think so much!¡± At the risk of being arrested, Zhang Dong, who had been taking care of Chen Yuanxi, frowned and said.


    ¡°Wenxi has a quick wit, don¡¯t you know?¡± Zhao Yuan smiled coldly.


    ¡°Yes, it only works for you.¡± Chen Yuanxi smiled and apologized. ¡°I am sorry for you, because Chen Tianjiao is actually my biological father.¡±


    ¡°Zhao Yuan, long time no see.¡± A clear and familiar voice came from the door. Chen Wanxin, with a shy look, smiled and sat down.


    Chen Wanxin was smiling, calm and graceful. It seemed that she was still a young girl who she used to be when she entered the university in those days, which really surprised them. But Chen Yuanxi saw too much lipstick on her face and some wrinkles on the corner of her eyes that she could not hide. Time did not favor the girl whom once countless boys liked.


    ¡°Here are all the people who should havee. Otherwise, the show will be boring,¡± Wang Xiang said thoughtfully.


    ¡°Even if someone shouldn¡¯te, they still wille. How about An¡¯an?¡± Chen Wanxin seemed unresponsive.


    ¡°Thanks for your care. She¡¯s getting better. But when some people make trouble, An¡¯an will be reminded of the past. How can she recover?¡± Wang Xiang grinned and said, ¡°A Yuan, I¡¯m right, aren¡¯t I?¡±


    For a moment everybody was quiet.


    ¡°Atmosphere killer, are you satisfied? You haven¡¯t changed your temperament at all. I really don¡¯t know why An¡¯an likes you,¡± Chen Wanxin said with a smile, ¡°I think Captain Cao has already told you. I¡¯m sorry about Gu Xi, but I tried my best to save him. Today, I just want to ask Zhao Yuan whether Uncle Zhao¡¯s will is valid. If you say it¡¯s not, I¡¯ll disappear at once. If it¡¯s still valid, I¡¯ll wait for you all the time!¡±


    This was Zhao Yuan¡¯s most vulnerable moment. Chen Wanxin had really chosen the right time. But Chen Yuanxi knew she had nned it in advance.


    But Chen Yuanxi did not want to talk. On his way to the hospital, Chen Yuanxi had passed Chen Tianjiao¡¯s former residence. From the great change of Chen Family, Chen Yuanxi knew what it meant to be ¡°The affairs of the world are inconstant.¡± Catching Luo Yang by Hong Xuan was the most important thing. Chen Yuanxi did not care in his mind what Chen Wanxin would say and do.


    ¡°Wanxin, let¡¯s talk about itter.¡± Zhao Yuan waved.


    ¡°I just want the answer today,¡± Chen Wanxin said with a smile.


    Zhao Yuan was silent.


    ¡°It¡¯s very difficult for him,¡± Chen Yuanxi thought, ¡°Just like me, as my father wanted me to marry Hong Yan. It¡¯s funny to think about it.¡± Even though he knew the girl, who he had get along with when they were children, had been running Ziyun Piano Store, he had not get in touch with her for more than seven years, and even more, she was the girl his father wanted him to marry. Chen Yuanxi did not think much. Hong Yan also had never actively contacted him, as if as long as they did not meet, they could ignore this will.


    ¡°Chen Wanxin, the one who loves Wenxi most is Zhao Yuan! Which time did you win over Wenxi? Let Zhao Yuan go, will you?¡± Gu Xi suddenly ran out of the next ward.


    As soon as Chen Wanxin saw Gu Xi¡¯s appearance, she was stunned for three seconds and then screamed directly. The small mirror in her bag, which she used when she made up beforeing in, fell to the ground.


    Gu Xi saw himself in the mirror.


    Zheng Kai kicked the mirror away. These days, he had never left anything in the ward in which Gu Xi¡¯s face could be reflected. This also was what Chen Yuanxi told repeatedly after he left. Even when Gu Xi washed his face, Zheng Kai dipped the water in the teacup carefully with medical cotton swabs and washed his face slowly. At present, the wounds had scabbed and there were a lot of scabs on his face, among which there were a few narrow and ferocious red scars, like living insects. After a long time, Zheng Kai finally epted Gu Xi¡¯s present appearance. While getting along with him day and night, he was afraid that something bad would happen. Today, he did not expect that Gu Xi would rush in...


    Before Gu Xi reacted, Zheng Kai held him in his arms and said, ¡°Gu Xi, there will be surgeries of next stage. You can have a skin grafting, you know? Besides, you are not ugly now. Gu Xi! Don¡¯t cry! The doctor said you can¡¯t cry. If you cry again, I¡¯ll cry with you.¡±


    Zheng Kai coaxed andforted Gu Xi as he took him away, then Zheng Kai¡¯s words came from the next door from time to time.


    ¡°Whoa! Look, am I terrible? If you frown again, I will be fiercer...¡±


    Wang Xiang had been very anxious, but now he could not help smiling. ¡°Zheng Kai... will be a good father in the future.¡±


    Seeing that he had ruined the atmosphere again, Wang Xiang made a face and said, ¡°As a child, I¡¯d better not interfere with adult¡¯s business. I¡¯ll go to y building blocks with another child, Gu Xi.¡±


    Zheng Kai took great effort to let Gu Xi sleep, then he asked Wang Xiang to look after Gu Xi for him and returned here.


    ¡°Let me give you the answer.¡± Zheng Kai suddenly appeared, holding a note in his hand, and handed it to Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°This is uncle Zhao¡¯s real will.¡±

 Chapter 216 (This Is the Real Will) The Real Will Is Touching

    <h4>Chapter 216 (This Is the Real Will) The Real Will Is Touching</h4>


    Seeing the familiar handwriting, Zhao Yuan could not help shaking his hands.


    ¡°Wanxin, since you got the video of the funeral parlour, you should know what my father¡¯s next words are! He left me two letters that year. The first letter is uncle Zhao¡¯s real handwritten will at that time, which my father asked me to take good care of. The second letter is what he left for me. It said that I¡¯m not allowed to open the first letter until you and Zhao Yuan have children, or Zhao Yuan and Wenxi are together. When they are definitely together, I¡¯ll then give it to Zhao Yuan,¡± said Zheng Kai.


    Hearing that, Chen Wanxin fell heavily on the chair, while Chen Yuanxi could not help but sit up.


    ¡°Wenxi didn¡¯t allow me to mourn uncle Zhao on the Qingming Festival. The reason why I went privately was that Yuanxi was ill at that time and seemed to be a little serious. I was afraid that he wouldn¡¯t survive, so I opened the letter,¡± said Zheng Kai.


    ¡°He pretended to be ill, didn¡¯t you know? He, he pretended!¡± Chen Wanxin said, ¡°Zheng Kai, you have a one-track mind!¡±


    ¡°So, he¡¯ll only love one person in his life,¡± said Chen Yuanxi seriously.


    Chen Wanxin¡¯s brow suddenly moved, and she sat down with an uneasy look, saying, ¡°Chen Yuanxi, you made your illness look real... even I...¡±


    Zhao Yuan looked at the letter carefully. As soon as he saw the friendly address, he burst into tears.


    ¡°Dear son,


    By the time you read this letter, I¡¯ll be dead. But my son, don¡¯t be too sad. Life and death lie in thep of the gods. After I die, I won¡¯t be disturbed by anything anymore. You should be happy for me.


    I have lived a life of ups and downs, and you are my pride and glory of my whole life. I believe that I haven¡¯t been sorry for others and myself. But I only owe Deputy Secretary Lin and Ziheng. While I¡¯m away, you should regard Ziheng and Deputy Secretary Lin as your father and take care of them for life. You have to obey it.


    ¡°Poor Ziheng has liked me since he was a teenager, but I didn¡¯t know his mind before. When I had doubts, I could only hide them, because I feared that my mind would be revealed to the world and only make peopleugh at me. When I suffered from disaster, if it hadn¡¯t been for Ziheng, I would never see you again. Ziheng works hard day and night and is busy with my affairs. His devotion is so clear. I didn¡¯t realize his mind until now. But now I¡¯m fifty and will die soon. I can never repay him. I¡¯m really ashamed.


    ¡°In front of my bed, you have repeatedly said what had happened between you and Deputy Secretary Lin¡¯s son, Wenxi. Although you said you were brothers, I know your mind. After all, I have known Ziheng¡¯s mind and observed the love between two men. I only hope that you will find someone who knows you well and you two will live a safe life in the future. If Wenxi also likes you, I also will be happy after death, even though I can¡¯t congratte you. Lovers hope that nothing but death can end their love. I didn¡¯t know that truth until the critical moment. But if Wenxi doesn¡¯t like you, you also need to behave yourself. Keep it in mind!


    ¡°Although I have to avenge, I know that there is no time for me. If Deputy Secretary Lin can vindicate me, bear in mind that you have to thank him with wines and bows for me! If I won¡¯t be vindicated, I hope you can live a good life. Remember, don¡¯t take revenge.


    ¡°Recently, I can always dream of your mother. I can still remember your mother¡¯s beauty and smile. But I think she might have been dead. If so, I hope that there is another life for us to meet and love. Then I will be satisfied.


    ¡°My son, don¡¯t care about me and live a good life!


    ¡°I¡¯m very sad that you¡¯ll live in the world alone. I hope you will remember my wishes and be safe!¡±


    Zhao Yuan could not help but cry and read it over and over again. Then Zheng Kai delivered it to Chen Wanxin and Chen Yuanxi.


    After they read it, one was tearful and the other¡¯s eyes turned red, and both of them took a long sigh. When Zhao Mingjiang wrote this letter, he did not know that Zheng Zihuan had determined to die with him. He also did not know that Lin Ziwei would die in another ce in only half a year.


    Chen Wanxin looked up and cried, ignoring that her makeup had been ruined by tears. She widened her eyes and wanted to go to Beijing to find her parents and ask them why.


    She finally smiled miserably and said, ¡°Zhao Yuan, I already knew that. Our Chen Family is sorry for your family! I, Chen Wanxin, have no face to do such a thing! I just want to ask you, if it¡¯s like what uncle said, will you, will you be with Yuanxi? This answer has nothing to do with me, but I just want to know. Will you be with Chen Yuanxi?¡±


    ¡°Chen Wanxin, leave here! Don¡¯t push him anymore! You don¡¯t deserve him! Neither do I!¡± Chen Yuanxi cried out, ¡°I also am surnamed Chen! Go! Go!¡±


    Zhao Yuan picked up the posthumous paper and went out without saying a word.


    Looking at Zhao Yuan¡¯s back, Chen Yuanxi almost cried to death. Zhang Dong sat beside him, thinking about something.


    ¡°Chen Yuanxi, you finally didn¡¯t win me!¡± Chen Wanxin suddenly gave out a shrillugh and went out.


    ¡°Stop Chen Wanxin. She may, she may be with Luo Yang...¡± ¡°If Luo Yang shows up, catch him... please, catch him!¡± Although Chen Yuanxi kept crying, he was very sober.


    Hearing that, Zheng Kai hurriedly followed Chen Wanxin.


    Gu Xi woke up at some time and came to Chen Yuanxi¡¯s ward. As soon as he saw Chen Yuanxi crying, he rushed up to hold his head andforted him. Chen Yuanxi found a piece of clean gauze and carefully covered Gu Xi¡¯s face. Then they hugged each other tightly andforted each other.


    Chen Yuanxi and Wang Xiang stayed in the hospital to take care of Gu Xi in turn. Although Wang Xiang alternated between Gu Xi¡¯s ce and Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s ce, he was quite willing. Gu Xi was sad every day, and barely smiled when Zheng Kai, who had stopped Chen Yuanxi from leaving and locked her in his home, came to visit him. Seeing Gu Xi¡¯s smile, Wang Xiang was very happy and energetic, but Chen Yuanxi slightly sighed.


    After the second stage of skin grafting was finished, Zheng Kai took Gu Xi home.


    ¡°Wanxin is locked in the room where there¡¯s nothing she can smash. She shouts and cries every day. But once Gu Xi talks to her, she would be quiet. Don¡¯t worry,¡± said Zheng Kai.


    ¡°You can think that the money I gave to you was borrowed from me. Don¡¯t say no anymore. You need to take care of Gu Xi, appease Wanxin and guard against Luo Yang. You can¡¯t go out and find a job,¡± Chen Yuanxi said with a smile, ¡°Although Gu Xi has always wanted to go home, you and I know that it is not his family and me, but it is you who can really cure him. I hope Gu Xi will be the happy and energetic boy again when I see him next time, OK?¡± Chen Yuanxi pushed Zheng Kai¡¯s shoulder with a smile.


    Zheng Kai mumbled and agreed, then he asked, ¡°Is the man with a scar on face who haunts nearby from time to time really the handsome uncle Hong Xuan?¡± Zheng Kai had been easily knocked down by Hong Xuan at school, so he always called him handsome uncle Hong Xuan.


    ¡°Yes, he¡¯ll keep an eye on Luo Yang for you. I guess Luo Yang wanted to kill both you and I when he cheated you out at the beginning. After all, he lost three fingers and he must hate you very much. Besides, don¡¯t you think he regards you as his rival? A¡¯Kai, you¡¯re upgraded. Take the chance!¡± Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.


    ¡°If there¡¯s no other way, you can be upromising and leave no way out to her!¡± said Zhang Dong.


    Zheng Kai and Zhang Dong pped the hands with each other, deeply feeling like they had met a bosom friend.


    Then Zheng Kai asked Chen Yuanxi where he was going.


    ¡°The result hasn¡¯te out yet in Beijing. I¡¯m afraid that there would be change. So I¡¯ll go to Beijing with Zhang Dong and get ready,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    The three parted on the spot.

 Chapter 217 (A Cemetery Is over There) Justice Is Upheld and the Chens Are Sentenced

    <h4>Chapter 217 (A Cemetery Is over There) Justice Is Upheld and the Chens Are Sentenced</h4>


    Chen Yuanxi and Zhang Dong set off for Beijing.


    ¡°Won¡¯t you really go to Yangzi County to see Zhao Yuan?¡± asked Zhang Dong.


    Chen Yuanxi shook his head and said, ¡°I just hope he will live a smooth and steady life.¡±


    ¡°And you?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re still here, aren¡¯t you?¡± Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.


    Zhang Dong was frightened to step back.


    ¡°The world is so big. Let¡¯s find a ce and conceal our identities to spend our whole lives together,¡± Chen Yuanxi said again with a smile.


    ¡°Wenxi, you can tell such a joke to anyone, except for me, because I will take it seriously,¡± said Zhang Dong.


    ¡°Who knows? Maybe I¡¯m serious.¡± Chen Yuanxi grinned.


    Zhang Dong frowned and said nothing.


    Seeing that, Chen Yuanxi shrugged and said, ¡°Come on, I won¡¯t tease you. Let¡¯s go!¡±


    Outside the Fourth Ring Road in Beijing, Chen Yuanxi and Zhang Dong rented a house with two rooms and a hall.


    A monthter, Chen Tianjiao asked to see Chen Yuanxi again.


    This was a prosperous and lonely city, but also a noisy city.


    Chen Yuanxi wandered around the First Ring Road and every day went to Tian An Men. He did nothing else but enjoy the sunny day in November. He wandered around the Outer Ring Road, went to the Badaling Great Wall from time to time, and silently watched the wall winding to the end of the sky. Sometimes he would sit on the overpass beside the Yonghe Temple for a long time until the setting sun turned from yellow to red. He wanted to go back, but did not know where to go. He knew he was lost.


    He was lost, so he went with the flow of people. Everywhere he went, he would stop to taste the food and observe the person there. He was like a tourist in the time, and the people in front of him were passers-by. He sat in a ce and coldly looked at the life.


    Chen Yuanxi heard a story during hisst visit to Chen Tianjiao.


    A story about his biological mother Huang Xiya, Chen Tianjiao, Lin Ziwei and Deng Yifei.


    ¡°If I had known that she was pregnant and couldn¡¯t wait, I wouldn¡¯t have embarrassed her... I would have married her right away, even if I wouldn¡¯t get a better promotion. Maybe I would have lived happily with you. It shouldn¡¯t have happened. My favorite woman... As for Lin Ziwei, although he was a cleanhanded official and was good to the people, didn¡¯t he make any mistake in this matter? As long as he only did one thing wrong in his life, he was wrong all his life.¡±


    ¡°I killed your adoptive father, which is the most right thing I did but also the worst thing. He was really good to your mother and you and has done everything I can¡¯t. I¡¯vemitted too many crimes in my life. The only relief is that I didn¡¯t let you do anything against thew. Let¡¯s take it as apensation for your mother and you. When you see your mother in the future, I hope you will be fair to me, and at least restore the truth of this matter to her, and let her not hate me for a lifetime.¡± After finishing, Chen Tianjiao stood up tremblingly, which meant that this was thest second Chen Yuanxi saw him.


    Chen Tianjiao finally turned around and looked at Chen Yuanxi, saying, ¡°My son, I¡¯m really worried about how you¡¯re going on alone. We¡¯re all gone, and your mother can¡¯t be found. You¡¯re really alone in the world. Live a good life. No matter whom you¡¯ll live with, Zhao Yuan or somebody else, just live a good life. I¡¯m, I¡¯m sorry for you. Besides, Wanxin is not bad in nature. If possible, I hope you... forget it. Take care of yourselves.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi kept silent all the time. It was not until Chen Tianjiao disappeared behind the ss door that he called dad.


    One day three monthster, Chen Yuanxi was crying in the hotel. The wine in the window had beenpletely drunk by him, and the cigarette boxes were all over the floor.


    At four o¡¯clock in the morning, Chen Yuanxi could not fall asleep. Zhang Dong and he lit a cigarette again, silently looking at the busy traffic downstairs.


    Chen Yuanxi seemed to hear the gunshot of somewhere clearly.


    The cigarette had been wet by tears and could not be lit.


    Zhang Dong could not help cuddling Chen Yuanxi in his arms and said, ¡°Yuanxi, just cry, okay?¡±


    How could he cry?


    Soon, it was early in the morning.


    Chen Yuanxi went to Zhongshan Park and then to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, wandering to the afternoon without eating or drinking. After receiving a call, he went to the barber shop. He asked the barber to make an energetic hairstyle for him so as to hide his tiredness caused by sleeplessness all night, then he came to a funeral parlor in full swing.


    Chen Wanxin stood there with red and swollen eyes. It was unknown who she was looking at. Zheng Kai was nervous. He held Gu Xi in one hand and stared at Chen Wanxin while looking around.


    It was not until Chen Yuanxi approached that Chen Wanxin¡¯s eyes began to glow with hatred.


    ¡°How dare youe to take the urn? Are you not afraid of Luo Yang killing you?¡± Chen Wanxin asked coldly.


    ¡°I have bodyguards, and so do you.¡± Chen Yuanxi¡¯s face remained unchanged.


    ¡°Are you here tough at me?¡± Chen Wanxin scrutinized Chen Yuanxi, her only half brother. Seeing that he wascent and in ruddy health, Chen Wanxin could not help being sad, and heavily pped Chen Yuanxi.


    Chen Yuanxi did not fight back. He stroked the urn for a while and said, ¡°If I don¡¯t know anything between dad and my mom in the past, I will fight back. Let¡¯s end the war of the previous generation, sister.¡±


    When Chen Wanxin heard this, she cried and snapped, ¡°Is it useful for you to call him dad? Since you came back to the Chen Family, I can¡¯t tell whether your smile and anger are sincere. I dare not be your sister!¡±


    ¡°Fallen leaves return to the roots. I found a cemetery in Yangzi County for father. Here is the address. Take it.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t need it!¡± said Chen Wanxin,


    ¡°You need it, so do I. Your current food and clothing are provided by Zheng Kai, and you still owe the country money,¡± Chen Yuanxi said in a loud voice.


    ¡°No!¡± Chen Wanxin pushed him away.


    ¡°The cemetery is in Tianfu Vige, the little mountain vige where father was born. It is far away from the county and no one can find it. There are some of your close cousins there,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    Hearing that, Chen Wanxin slightly changed her looks. Looking at the note in Chen Yuanxi¡¯s hand, she, holding the urn, slowly took it and pretended to walk easily. But at the corner, she suddenly squatted down and burst into tears while holding the urn.


    Gu Xi could not help squatting down to cry with Chen Wanxin. He did not know theplicated story among others. He only knew that Chen Wanxin had saved him and Zheng Kai at the beginning. He also knew that Zheng Kai had been very good to him and Chen Wanxin had been gentle to him no matter how she was angry with Zheng Kai.


    Gu Xi looked at Chen Yuanxi¡¯s back again, rushed up and hold him from behind, saying, ¡°Yuanxi, I hope you will live a good life! I found a job as a cook in the business street where used to be Jifu University. I can support myself. I know you always care about me. I know it...¡±


    Chen Yuanxi did not look back. He gently stroked Gu Xi¡¯s hands and said, ¡°If you are not happy, tell me, okay? Does the wound still hurt?¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt. Yuanxi, I¡¯m very happy, very happy,¡± said Gu Xi.


    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡±


    ¡°Gu Xi, will you be happy? Will you really be happy when the man you love most always looks at a woman? Sorry, I can¡¯t do more.¡±


    When Chen Yuanxi left, Zhang Dong saw two lines of tears dripping from his eyes.

 Chapter 218 (Zheng Kai Has Been Stabbed in His Left Chest) Luo Yang Has Been Arrested

    <h4>Chapter 218 (Zheng Kai Has Been Stabbed in His Left Chest) Luo Yang Has Been Arrested</h4>


    Chen Yuanxi returned to Yangzi county eventually.


    He and Zhang Dong went to a ce like a park.


    The words ¡°People¡¯s Cemetery¡± stood like a g in the air.


    In front of Lin Ziwei¡¯s tombstone, there were two bunches of fresh narcissus. White petals, yellowish pistils and slender branches which had been cut neatly looked very solemn among the tombstones. Chen Yuanxi picked up two bunches of narcissus, ced them in front of the tombstone, and knelt down on the cold ground in early spring. Zhang Dong also knelt down and they worshiped the tombstone together, putting palms together devoutly.


    Chen Yuanxi sighed softly and closed his eyes.


    He could not tell who was right and who was wrong after he visited Chen Tianjiao in prison and knew the story among Chen Tianjiao, Huang Xiya and Lin Ziwei. When he knew that Chen Tianjiao insisted on getting off the ne even though he knew he would die after returning because he was afraid that his son, Chen Yuanxi, would be hurt and that Deng Yifei also got off the ne to face theing judgment with his husband even though she knew her end would be miserable, he became lost.


    When he knew that his father had used dirty means to prevent Zhao Yuan and he from getting together, and when he heard that tens of millions of people saw off his father when he was encoffined, he had no idea about what was right and what was wrong.


    ¡°Seriously, I don¡¯t seem to hate anyone or know if I will fall in love with someone.¡± Chen Yuanxi said with a smile. His eyes looked like the abyss formed by the convergence of streams.


    ¡°You should have a rest.¡± Zhang Dong hugged Chen Yuanxi and let his head get close to his chest so that he could be warmer.


    Arge passenger station had been built in Yangzi County. Many supermarkets and high buildings had been built along the road. The urbanization was gradually expanding from south to north, from east to west, just like the desert was gradually eroding the oasis.


    Chen Yuanxi was walking on a strange asphalt road and did not seem to feel any emotion when he came. However, Hong Xuan suddenly told him that Luo Yang had been arrested! But at the same time Chen Yuanxi knew that Zheng Kai was critically ill.


    A few days ago.


    Chen Wanxin quarreled with Zheng Kai in the street and ran away quickly, and Zheng Kai failed to catch her.


    Zheng Kai had been following Chen Wanxin every day and did not know when it woulde to an end. Since Chen Wanxin¡¯s parents died, her family had broken up. She tried to let more people hold a decent funeral for her parents. Unexpectedly, the family which only got together when there was profit, let her know the fickleness of human nature that she had never experienced. Few could bear the change from a well-off youngdy to a normal woman who could not afford basic necessities of life, so her temperament was getting more and more strange day by day. In addition to Gu Xi who could calm her down, no one could receive her kindness.


    Zheng Kai dared not lock the security door for several nights, waiting for Chen Wanxin toe back.


    Finally, he waited for Chen Wanxin as well as a kidnapper with a fierce face and a shining knife. It was Luo Yang.


    ¡°Let her go, I¡¯ll give you everything!¡± said Zheng Kai.


    Luo Yang rushed to Zheng Kai and quickly punched him on his head. While Zheng Kai was dazzled, he quickly tied him with the nylon rope in his hand. Zheng Kai resisted fiercely, but was scratched. Finally, he was tied in the solid wood sofa tightly. Only then did he find that Chen Wanxin had rushed into the house, opened the wooden cab, and took out his bank card, in which there was all of his money and funds.


    ¡°What¡¯s the password?¡± asked Chen Wanxin sternly.


    ¡°Wanxin, you and him?¡± Zheng Kai looked at Chen Wanxin in disbelief.


    ¡°Wanxin?¡± Zheng Kai was still asking.


    Luo Yang wielded his knife and cut off Zheng Kai¡¯s little thumb. Zheng Kai felt great painful and the blood dropped on the ground after soaking half of the sofa. He could not help moaning, but still looked at Chen Wanxin at a loss. He did not seem to believe that Chen Wanxin could unite Luo Yang to treat him like this one day.


    ¡°Tell me the code, or you¡¯ll die!¡± Chen Wanxin threatened him.


    Zheng Kai shook his head.


    ¡°Bitch, you can¡¯t afford to pay hundreds of thousands of yuan. If you don¡¯t pay, I¡¯ll go to the YHpany to find Zhao Yuan!¡± Luo Yang shouted in a muffled voice.


    ¡°Can you afford to irritate Zhao Yuan? Are you qualified to find him?¡± Chen Wanxin was angry, and pped Luo Yang in the face.


    Luo Yang was very angry and wielded his knife around Chen Wanxin. Chen Wanxin was also angry and came to Zheng Kai to urge andfort him, ¡°He could really kill you! Tell us the password quickly, and you¡¯ll be fine.¡±


    Zheng Kai shook his head slowly and said with a smile, ¡°You know it.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know! How can I know!¡± Chen Wanxin shrieked, ¡°Hurry up! After getting the money, I¡¯ll disappearpletely. I won¡¯t bother you again and will no longer appear, so that you can live in peace. My life will have nothing to do with you!¡±


    The sneer on Zheng Kai¡¯s face made Chen Wanxin very unhappy. Although she was good at covering up her emotions, she still felt embarrassed for a few seconds. Then she heard Zheng Kai groaned and saw his head was covered with broken ss. The strong smell of liquor immediately dispersed. Zheng Kai¡¯s head was bleeding and he immediately fell down.


    Zheng Kai woke up from the pain again. He saw that his other two fingers were lying in Luo Yang¡¯s hand, and Chen Wanxin had been knocked down by Luo Yang.


    Zheng Kai smiled and said, ¡°Congrattions. You finally avenge your loss of three fingers on me. I don¡¯t want this stupid woman anymore. Please end this as soon as possible and get away with her.¡±


    Luo Yang wielded his knife and stabbed Zheng Kai in the left chest, who then fell down without a word.


    Chen Wanxin had been seriously beaten by Luo Yang. At the moment, she cried out sadly, ¡°You said you wouldn¡¯t... Your goal was not killing Chen Yuanxi when you kidnapped Gu Xi. You wanted to force me with Zheng Kai¡¯s life! Luo Yang!¡±


    She beat Luo Yang desperately, but was dragged out by Luo Yang.


    Chen Wanxin was forced by a knife to transfer money with her mobile phone while shivering and tried to enter the password.


    Zhengkai¡¯s mother¡¯s birthday was not the password. Zheng Kai¡¯s own birthday also was not the password. If the password was entered incorrectly again, the card would be frozen for one day.


    Chen Wanxin summoned up her courage to enter the password which she knew but did not want to enter. Finally, she entered the right password, her student number, and saw the bank bnce, although there was not much money. Then with the right password, Luo Yang quickly began to check other ounts of Zheng Kai.


    Suddenly, Chen Wanxin cried.


    She remembered that when she was drunk that day, Zheng Kai had helped her to the door, knocked on the door, served her tea, and helped her to the bedroom to let her rest after she puked all over his bed. She remembered that the temperature of the air conditioning wasfortable, and the color of the wallmp used was orange, the color she liked most when she was in high school.


    She had lied down safely in Zheng Kai¡¯s bedroom all day. When she woke up in the morning, she saw sunshineing in through the window. On the table was fresh hot milk and bread. For a moment, it seemed that the time was still. It seemed that she had returned to her hometown where she was born and liedzily in the straw, squinting her eyes slightly and looking at the white clouds and blue sky. So many years had passed and once again Zheng Kai gave her the feeling that she had not had for a long time.


    It was the second time she had seen Zheng Kai was cut. The first time, in order to protect her, he was stabbed in the back. The wound was not serious, but he had rest in bed for a long time. At that time, Jifu University was still there and she was still studying in university. At that time, she liked Zhao Yuan wholeheartedly.


    Suddenly, Luo Yang¡¯s screams came from behind. Chen Wanxin turned and saw a vicious man cutting Luo Yang¡¯s sinews of hands and feet with a knife. She was so frightened that she stepped back.


    ¡°Get out of here! If Wenxi had not told me not to hurt you, I wouldn¡¯t have let you go!¡± The man roared at Chen Wanxin.


    ¡°He Fu! I have nothing against you...¡±


    ¡°He Fu? Do you know what my name means? It means there¡¯s no need to avenge! There¡¯s no such a kind of revenge that is enough for me to quench my hatred! You¡¯d better testify against Mo Qian when you in the jail, or I¡¯ll bring you back no matter where you go!¡±


    Luo Yang wanted to say something more, but he had been out of strength.

 Chapter 224 (Don’t You Say Goodbye to Me?) Zhang Dong Goes to Jail Alone to Testify Against Mo Qian

    <h4>Chapter 224 (Don¡¯t You Say Goodbye to Me?) Zhang Dong Goes to Jail Alone to Testify Against Mo Qian</h4>


    Chen Yuanxi was going to go back with Zhang Dong, but Zhang Dong stood still, and several policemen came.


    Chen Yuanxi turned around and looked at Zhang Dong with doubts, who was standing among a group of armed police. Chen Yuanxi looked at Zhang Dong with a smile. Zhang Dong was tall and powerful. Among these armed police, he was a Triton of the minnows and his temperament as a soldier was no worse than theirs. But why did not hee to Chen Yuanxi?


    Zhang Dong smiled and said, ¡°Yuanxi, I can¡¯t apany you any longer.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi looked at Zhang Dong in disbelief, who was standing alone by the huge and solemn front door of the prison. It was dusk, and the lights had gone on. Zhang Dong¡¯s face was covered with lights of different colors, which covered up his real expression.


    ¡°Why?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    Zhang Dong said with a smile, ¡°I surrendered myself, so that I won¡¯t be sentenced too severely. When I¡¯m judged, you need to testify for me.¡±


    ¡°Zhang Dong...¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    Zhang Dong lowered his head slightly, then he raised his head again and said with a smile, ¡°In fact, I should have done this early. During this period, I was too selfish and wanted to... apany you.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi looked at the calm smile of the man in front of him and still stood there in a daze, as if he did not know what had happened.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you say goodbye to me?¡± Zhang Dong went to Chen Yuanxi and embraced him with open arms.


    ¡°Go to him,¡± Zhang Dong said in Chen Yuanxi¡¯s ears, ¡°He is the one you called when you had a dream.¡±


    ¡°Zhang Dong, you don¡¯t know that he¡¯s married.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi left Zhang Dong¡¯s arms and came to his sense, as if a strong cold wind had suddenly poured into his mind. He subconsciously ran forward for a few steps.


    ¡°Zhang Dong.¡± Chen Yuanxi called in a low voice.


    ¡°Zhang Dong! That thing...¡± Chen Yuanxi suddenly felt that it seemed superfluous to ask such a question again. On that day, he deliberately said to Zhang Dong in Beijing that Luo Yang and Mo Qian would be sentenced more severely if he turned himself in to testify against them. During those days in Beijing, he had a deep affection for Zhang Dong, at least half of which was sincere. However, he also felt lonely a lot. He even ttered Zhang Dong and urged him to surrender, but he dared not speak directly. That day, it was the first time he and Zhang Dong had had a formal sex, but he called Zhao Yuan on purpose.


    But when Zhang Dong was jailed, Chen Yuanxi suddenly realized that he was the only one left in the vast world.


    Zhang Dong waved with a smile, which looked like the rosy clouds in the sky. It appeared and disappeared.


    Chen Yuanxi looked down at the mud floor and his tears dropped down, sshing the dust all over the world. It seemed that there were two men running forward. Chen Yuanxi wanted to catch up, but he did not know whether to go left or right.


    Two monthster, it was snowing heavily in Inner Mongolia.


    Zhang Dong¡¯s biological mother and adoptive father, together with Lin Wenxi, were surrounding the fire and talking about the past.


    Zhang Dong¡¯s parents once returned to the small town because of threat, and were monitored in Inner Mongolia. They had been driven desperate. Later, they were finally escorted to go abroad and lived afortable life. Then they were asked toe back to help investigate Mo Qian. Now their hardships had passed, so they warmly weed Chen Yuanxi.


    Chen Yuanxi knew that Zhang Dong¡¯s parents knew each other after they came to Inner Mongolia with army to construct Inner Mongolia. He also knew that for the sake of Zhang Dong¡¯s education, they sent Zhang Dong to his grandparents¡¯ home in Yangzi County when he was in junior high school.


    Zhang Dong had a strong personality since he was a child. He was very independent, but he did not like learning. He was eager to be a soldier and make achievements in the army.


    Chen Yuanxi knew that Zhang Dong once had run into a ssmate who was beating on the street. He did not say a word and rushed to help. The opponent was a head taller than Zhang Dong, but he just wielded his small fists and beat him back.


    Chen Yuanxi knew that Zhang Dong had been in agony for a long time. Atst, he joined the army, which no one knew the reason, and then could not be contacted. Zhang Dong¡¯s familyter moved back to Inner Mongolia.


    Chen Yuanxi knew that there were many girls liking Zhang Dong.


    Chen Yuanxi saw many photos of Zhang Dong¡¯s honor hour. At that time, Zhang Dong had a pure and serious smile. However, now his face was full of maturity and vicissitudes of a man in his thirties, there were crow¡¯s feet on the corner of his eyes, and there seemed to be wrinkles on his forehead.


    ¡°We don¡¯t know what had happened so that he was wanted at that time, but we got a lot of gifts from him every year. We all know it was he who prepared the red packets and special purchases for the Spring Festival for us.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi lived in the guest room where Zhang Dong had been living when he was a child.


    It was still hard to sleep at night. He turned on the stereo, which emitted a wide and distant sound.


    ¡°Drink up the alcohol and refill the cup. Let¡¯s drink until we are thoroughly drunk...¡± It was yed again and again.


    When Chen Yuanxi first heard this song that night, he did not have such clear feelings. When Lin Ziwei¡¯s case had not been rified, Chen Yuanxi was regarded as a disloyal and unfilial son by the people in his hometown. Later, he even received numerous anonymous letters from his hometown, which were full of scorn and abuse. During that time, he could not go home. Even if he could return, what could he do? Chen Yuanxi knew that he had no hometown. Those memories in the homnd only existed for one¡¯s existence.


    Zhang Dong had wandered alone for a long time and had not gone home to have a look. It seemed that he had once mentioned that his hometown was full of his photos because he was wanted.


    ¡°The sky is vast. Where are the geese going? The north is my hometown in my heart...¡±


    Later, there was another song, whose lyrics made Chen Yuanxi feel sad and almost cry.


    ¡°The ce people can¡¯t reach is called the dream ce, and the ce people can¡¯t return is called hometown.¡± Zhang Dong did not mention any of his miss to his hometown to Chen Yuanxi. In the face of Chen Yuanxi, Zhang Dong only had two kinds of expressions, smiling face and anxious face. He smiled and felt worried both because of Chen Yuanxi¡¯s affairs. It seemed that there was nothing about himself. Now, the man who always centered on him, in order to testify against Luo Yang and Mo Qian, entered the prison.


    Chen Yuanxi could not help but p himself hard. In the past two years, all his gains could not hold a handle to what he had lost.


    Zhou Nannan had left and lived in seclusion, and there was no news about her from then on. Wang Zhengjuan had married into a rich family. Although she was grateful for her husband¡¯s love and had given birth to a son, she began to believe in Buddhism. No one knew her sadness and happiness. Zhu Hui died suddenly because of Chen Yuanxi¡¯s neglect, so Zhao Yuan lost two rtives again in one night, but he did not say what kind of suffering he had had? When they said goodbye, Chen Yuanxi found that his chin was full of disordered stubble and his body was thin, which greatly tortured Chen Yuanxi. Zhang An¡¯an had devoted a lot to Chen Yuanxi. Although he had his own reasons, because of his ipetence, she had been raped by three people andter lost Wang Xiang. Could she live a happy life with her daughter in the future? Because he wanted to catch Luo Yang and destroyed the rescue n of Captain Cao who fully trusted him, Gu Xi became a scarred patient from a beautiful young man. Because of his ipetence, they failed to catch Luo Yang in time, causing Zheng Kai to be seriously injured. Would his seque be more serious? In order to save Chen Wanxin, Wang Xiang... at that time, he was present, but he just rushed inside, and did not notice that Wang Xiang had rushed downstairs...


    Once Hong Xuan caught all the people of the Mo Family, he might turn himself in. He had killed many people, so it was inevitable that he would be sentenced to death.


    How many years would Zhang Dong be sentenced in prison?


    His biological father Chen Tianjiao, who he hated the most, knew that he would die if he did not go abroad, but still stepped down from the ne.


    His adoptive father Lin Ziwei, who he respected the most, had raised him for 19 years, but was the founder of all that year. He had framed Chen Tianjiao and robbed his wife and child...


    Life was like a joke.


    Chen Yuanxi slowly walked into the snow, and the snow soon covered his back. The world was in endless whiteness.

 Chapter 220 (I Am What I Am) I Will Make Myself My Own

    <h4>Chapter 220 (I Am What I Am) I Will Make Myself My Own</h4>


    Chen Wanxin woke up, touched her face, and looked at the ceiling doubtfully and two smiling faces of concern.


    ¡°Are you dead, too?¡± Chen Wanxin suddenly asked.


    Chen Yuanxi and Gu Xi looked at each other, tears falling like rain. Chen Wanxin suddenly thought of something, and cried out, ¡°Wang Xiang! Where is Wang Xiang?¡±


    Chen Wanxin remembered that when she fell out, she found there was a big balcony several floors down.


    She remembered someone rushing over and opening his arms.


    She remembered that she had fallen heavily on the man.


    She remembered that the man was Wang Xiang.


    She remembered Wang Xiang¡¯s mouth slowly bleeding.


    ¡°If... if you die... A¡¯kai won¡¯t survive...¡± After only leaving this sentence, the man stopped breathing.


    ¡°An¡¯an, he is going to fall... I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry. I don¡¯t belong to myself until this moment.¡±


    ¡°He... only said that... Wenxi, tell me why... I should die. Why did he...¡± asked Chen Wanxin repeatedly. Her viscera were also damaged, so a trace of blood flowed out of her nose when she was excited.


    ¡°Wanxin, your life belong to Zheng Kai, Wang Xiang and me. Live well.¡± Chen Yuanxi held her hands tightly.


    ¡°A¡¯kai...¡± Hearing that, Chen Wanxin almost sat up because of excitement.


    Chen Yuanxi nodded solemnly.


    Zheng Kai might have heard Chen Wanxin¡¯s monologue, so that he survived. Although he was still in the intensive care unit, maybe he would be transferred to the ordinary ward soon, and then would be discharged. In fact, whether Zheng Kai would survive depended on his own will. If he wanted to die, no one could help him. Only what Chen Wanxin said at thest moment gave him hope of life.


    Chen Wanxin was so excited that she folded her hands and kept praying silently from morning to night. She murmured all day, and no one bothered her.


    It wasn¡¯t untilte at night that she let out a mouthful of blood and fell asleep.


    Gu Xi suddenly felt that Chen Wanxin had lost many things, and seemed to have acquired many more.


    ¡°You seem to be back in your childhood, the age of no worries.¡± Gu Xi gently stroked Chen Wanxin¡¯s forehead. Her face was rxed and pure, and there was no more violence.


    Zhao Yuan did not expect himself to attend a funeral once again before the winter had gone and the snow had melted in this town. This time, he was apanied by Shu Xiaoman, who many of ssmates had not seen for more than a year.


    A group of students exchanged greetings and were silent together.


    The photo on the gravestone was taken when Wang Xiang took part in the team activities he organized in BCpany. He just suddenly attacked Zheng Kai and ran forward, and when he looked back with a mischievous smile, he was taken a photo of. Wang Xiang¡¯s parents wanted Zheng Kai to choose a photo of Wang Xiang. Gu Xi did not want to affect Zheng Kai, so he selected this picture for Zheng Kai. He remembered that Zheng Kai had been keeping this picture all the time and said to Gu Xi that Wang Xiangughed as good as he used to. Gu Xi knew that Wang Xiang liked to stay with Zheng Kai, so that he was despised by Zheng Kai, just like he used to do. He knew that Wang Xiang had often pretended to tease Zheng Kai and him. He also knew that Wang Xiang had always learned basketball skill from Zheng Kai, but made little progress. He knew that Wang Xiang had always thought of the scene of Zheng Kai saving him. He also knew that there was imperceptible tears in Wang Xiang¡¯s eyes when he fell asleep on Zheng Kai that night. But he had never seen Wang Xiang¡¯s so bright smile.


    The epitaph was chosen from Wang Xiang¡¯s favorite song by Zhang An¡¯an. It said, ¡°The more one tries to hide, the more one is exposed.¡±


    In one of his diaries, Wang Xiang expressed his feelings to all humanity.


    ¡°I know I love An¡¯an. I can¡¯t bear to give up her. But I found that I still love Zheng Kai. Who do I love more?¡±


    Among the college ssmates, Wang Xiang was the first one to die. He died so suddenly that he left only one sentence. That sentence, perhaps was the answer, perhaps, was not.


    Zhang An¡¯an, who was pregnant, was reluctant to make a eulogy as a relict.


    ¡°He has made his choice and I will respect him.¡± Zhang An¡¯an said with a smile, but her pale face was full of tiredness.


    That day, when Wang Xiang learned that Zheng Kai was in critical condition, he became crazy and wanted to leave without packing anything. At that time, Zhang An¡¯an suddenly had a bad premonition and hurried to hold Wang Xiang¡¯s hands.


    ¡°Xiang, I am pregnant. It¡¯s your child. You have to remember it!¡±


    Wang Xiang was overjoyed at that time. He kissed her again and again and asked Zhang An¡¯an to wait for him toe back. He wanted the child as much as ever. She believed that he would do his duty as a father, when she saw the strange light in his eyes. At that moment, hepletely belonged to her.


    Then she waited a day and a night, and finally received Chen Yuanxi¡¯s phone call.


    She did not know if Wang Xiang had thought about this child and she when he made the decision at that moment.


    Zhang An¡¯an¡¯s biological mother was abandoned by Mo Qian and had traveled in distant parts. After the birth of Zhang An¡¯an, she deliberately got to know Boss Zhang working in the Mo Family. When Zhang An¡¯an was less than five years old, her mother died of depression and anger. But she had already remembered her mother¡¯s hatred, which came from the man named Mo Qian.


    This life, she only wanted to avenge her mother. All her life, she had been using Boss Zhang and being used by him at the same time.


    She learned mind-reading and hypnotism from Boss Zhang. She was very talented. Boss Zhang had told her every task of Mo Qian and everything of the Mo Family. She finally got a chance in university to know Lin Wenxi. It could be said that her goal was revenge instead of helping Lin Wenxi. However, Boss Zhang also knew little of the bloody incidents, because they were top secrets of the Mo Family. She once had regretted that why she could not find out that Zhang Dong was sent to kill Zhao Mingjiang. She also had regretted that she could not know that the Mo Family had decided to kill Lin Ziwei, but she felt that she had done her best.


    But when she was in college, she knew the man in the cemetery.


    He seemed to be very yful, but she knew that he was really wholehearted. He seemed to know everything, but he was not good at anything. She knew that he was born with a curious mind.


    All people did not understand why she had fallen in love with such an unattractive man. Only she knew that he never did evil with others. She knew that he had always been very kind and fed stray cats in school. And she liked cats most.


    She once thought that Wang Xiang hated her because of her obesity, so she went on a diet in a crazy way, and even took the initiative to join a talent show to be a star. All that she had done was for revenge. Over the years, she had insulted him in public and asked him to clean her shoes. She even had suddenly rushed down, gone straight to him and driven him out when she sang on the stage.


    But when she was drunk and the agent wanted to bully her, he was the first one to jump out to protect her.


    When Mo Qian and his subordinates came to find evidence, Zhang An¡¯an was too weak to get up, but she had installed a special pinhole camera in her room. She watched Mo Qian look on coldly when she was repeatedly insulted by his subordinates, but she did not tell him her identity. Instead, she felt a sense of revenge.


    The photos were all spread on the Inte by her, and the rumors were also made up by her.


    She just wanted to keep him around a little longer. She preferred to be fed a mouthful of hot porridge by him rather than be a star. She preferred to stoop to amodate herself to him, because she wanted to hear him sing after the end of the matter. In fact, he was more roguish than Zhao Yuan, so that he said he wanted free.


    But she did not understand why there was no fate between him and her, why he did not say he loved her even though he had apanied her to many cities, why he only stayed in a small town, rented a small house near BCpany, and worked as a busy marketing staff though he had kept up with her.


    Zhang An¡¯an felt tired.


    These months were the happiest days she had ever had in her life.


    In the past, she did not know it.


    It turned that he did not know, either. He only knew that he had fallen in love with both, and then he both loved.

 Chapter 226 Farewell

    <h4>Chapter 226 Farewell</h4>


    Hong Xuan was walking in a daze in the wild. He thought he might have killed the wrong person this time.


    The video sent by the liaison suggested that Zhang Dong and Wenxi had kissed each other across the bulletproof ss, which made him furious! What made him angrier was that he heard that Zhang Dong had been wearing rings on both hands all day long, which were sent by Wenxi! ¡°I¡¯ve warned him not to mislead my son! My only son!¡±


    The moon was bright and peaceful, but his eyes were full of bloodshot. He knew that Zhang Dong was a man of righteous ardour and was not afraid of death, but he did not expect that Zhang Dong¡¯s words before he died would make him lose his mind for a moment.


    He knew that prisoners in the prison sometimes had to go out to carry out their tasks to expiate their crimes. Among those people, there must be Zhang Dong.


    He had videoed his testimony against Mo Qian, as well as some evidence that could be searched, and the ce where the body was buried. Then he sent an email to the liaison who had surrendered himself and waited.


    The grass was dreary and the bright moonlight made people feel cool. Hong Xuan was lying on the ground, motionless.


    In such a county, the vehicles for transporting prisoners were often not well equipped, which Hong Xuan knew better than anyone else. And stopping a car which only carried a few prisoners was a piece of cake for him.


    It took him a lot of time and effort to hijack Zhang Dong alone. Anyway, Zhang Dong still stood in front of himself against his gun in the end.


    ¡°Before I die, I¡¯m worried about Wenxi the most. The most worried thing is that you will hurt him after you¡¯re released from prison!¡± said Hong Xuan.


    ¡°I will not hurt him.¡± Zhang Dong said calmly.


    ¡°You may not die, but you must promise me that you will never meet him again after you are released from prison!¡± said Hong Xuan.


    ¡°I promised him I would stay with him for 360 years.¡± Zhang Dong said as if nothing had happened.


    ¡°Are you really not afraid of death?¡± Hong Xuan asked in a sharp voice.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid,¡± answered Zhang Dong.


    ¡°I¡¯ll give you onest chance. Will you promise?¡± Hong Xuan heavily beat Zhang Dong¡¯s head with the butt of his gun.


    .


    ¡°I won¡¯t leave him,¡± said Zhang Dong in a loud voice.


    Hong Xuan asked Zhang Dong to go ahead and loaded his gun behind Zhang Dong.


    ¡°Zhang Dong! I¡¯ll give you onest chance again!¡±


    Zhang Dong walked in the wilderness under the moonlight. His face was calm and peaceful in the moonlight.


    He took off his shoes, and his feet sank in the mud. The weeds in the wild kissed his toes. It was as cold as Lin Wenxi¡¯s lips and tears that night.


    He saw fireflies in the grass, which was like the shlight in the hands of the child more than ten years ago.


    He enjoyed the breeze on his cheek, which he thought was as gentle as the child¡¯s whisper a few months ago. ¡°In those months, you lied to me, didn¡¯t you... In order tofort me and encourage me to get out of prison early, you gave me those two gold rings. Wenxi, others may not see the truth of what you do, but after being together with you for two years, how can I not know?¡±


    ¡°Thank you for giving me two years.¡±


    ¡°If I hadn¡¯t done that at the beginning, if I had been guarding you all the time, would the ending be different...¡±


    He looked up at the clouds and the moon. At that moment, he felt that ten thousand years had passed in the world, and that the person who should go might have turned into skeleton, or the tombstone engraved with his name had been corroded. In this world, from the past to the future, no one like him could be found.


    He walked slowly to the swamp. Maybe, it was better to rest there forever than to be eroded by those snakes and insects in the wilderness. If he had to die, he would rather die quietly without leaving a trace.


    ¡°What else do you want to say?¡± Hong Xuan asked in a deep voice.


    ¡°I failed to keep my appointment. Please don¡¯t tell him that I¡¯m dead.¡± Zhang Dong said with a smile.


    A dull gunshot resounded to the skies, and a lonely figure fell to the clear swamp in front of him. Then he was mercilessly engulfed by the swamp. The moon¡¯s reflection in the swamp was broken, and it seemed that it could not be pieced together anymore. It became twisted fragments, among which ck blood gushed.


    Hong Xuan was walking in a daze. Zhang Dong had said to him that he and Lin Ziwei were brothers while Yuanxi and he liked each other.


    Zhang Dong had said he won¡¯t leave Wenxi.


    Zhang Dong¡¯sst wish before he died was not to let Wenxi know that he was dead.


    ¡°How could such a person do harm to Wenxi?¡±


    ¡°No, no, he seemed to say he wanted to marry Wenxi?¡±


    ¡°How can a man marry a man? What are Wenxi¡¯s ideas?¡± Hong Xuan recalled that when Lin Wenxi and Lin Ziwei quarreled that night, Lin Wenxi cried and said to Lin Ziwei while pointing to him, ¡°How can you be so mean? You actually forced him to stay away from me by investigating his father¡¯s affairs! I¡¯m telling you, Lin Ziwei, he will be your son in the future! When you are old enough to die, he will bury you!¡±


    ¡°Wenxi¡¯s words have be a prophecy. Brother, when you died, it was Zhao Yuan who buried you, not Wenxi.¡±


    Wenxi¡¯s expression whirled in front of Hong Xuan¡¯s eyes. He was so scared. He was afraid of Wenxi¡¯s crying. He was afraid that Wenxi would hold him and call him dad. He seemed to see Wenxi looking at him with blood on his face.


    Hong Xuan came to the gate of his own house. He had been here many times, but he had never gone into the house.


    Since he disappeared, Chen Tianjiao¡¯s subordinates had been wandering around here every day and there must be many monitors around here. When Chen Tianjiao was arrested, he was the wanted He Fu...


    Every time he killed a person, he would be a step further away from here.


    Hong Xuan saw her daughter came out and poured the remaining dregs in the corner. ¡°Is my wife sick?¡± The courtyard crackled and crumbled in the gale. Hong Xuan had put his legal money into a bank card, but the ount name was not his name. The password was his wife¡¯s birthday and thest several numbers of the card number happened to be Hong Yan¡¯s birthday. He believed that his smart daughter would know who left it to them.


    Hong Xuan walked by the river of his hometown, and then squatted and sat there until the early morning. It seemed that he still was thinking about someone. ¡°Who saved me when I was seriously injured and unconscious that year? Who kissed my lips that year?¡± Hong Xuan and his wife were arranged to get married. It seemed that his wife had never kissed him so crazily and deeply. During that hard and dark time, revenge was no longer his goal. Instead, he instinctively wanted to know who had given him such a deep kiss.


    But it was toote.


    A cleaner was very surprised, because he found that a strange man had been motionless on the bank for at least two hours.


    The cleaner shook Hong Xuan, but his body suddenly fell down.


    Only then did the cleaner find that there was a lot of dry blood in front of the man and a pistol with blood on his right while there were many cigarette butts all over the ground on his left.

 Chapter 222 (I Finally Don’t Have to Wait for You) Chen Yuan Has No Fate to be with Hong Yan

    <h4>Chapter 222 (I Finally Don¡¯t Have to Wait for You) Chen Yuan Has No Fate to be with Hong Yan</h4>


    Two monthster, Beijing.


    The summer hase.


    Zhang Dong dragged out an air water tank and set up a small swimming pool in the room. Chen Yuanxi was naked and immersed in the water. He remembered that Captain Cao had been telling him from the small town that people of the Mo Family had been caught one after another, but the one who often provided clues was He Fu, the major fugitive who had killed three people several years ago.


    Captain Cao had asked about the identity of He Fu several times, but Chen Yuanxi said nothing.


    ¡°It¡¯s enough. You¡¯re so tired. Come here,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    Zhang Dong took off his vest and rolled down. They had ying in the water for a while, and did not notice the sound of the door opening.


    When Hong Xuan came in, Chen Yuanxi was lying on Zhang Dong¡¯s body, pouring water on his head, and washing his hair. When they saw Hong Xuan, they immediately stopped, looking like children who had done something wrong.


    Hong Xuan came here to discuss Chen Yuanxi¡¯s marriage.


    However, Chen Yuanxi eloquently repeated thest words of Zhao Mingjiang.


    ¡°The man has gone,¡± Hong Xuan sighed and said, ¡°Wenxi, I never think there is any love between you and Zhao Yuan. He and you are brothers, maybe just like your father and I. Wenxi, conduct yourself well.¡±


    ¡°What is the right way?¡± Zhang Dong asked, ¡°Uncle Xuan, you can¡¯t see the whole world even if you travel far and wide.¡±


    ¡°People havews, so does the nature. You¡¯re old enough, but can¡¯t you understand that?¡± asked Hong Xuan.


    ¡°You and uncle Lin are brothers. Zhao Yuan and he are lovers. Things are different among different people,¡± Zhang Dong replied in a loud voice.


    ¡°What about you and him?¡± Hong Xuan grabbed Zhang Dong¡¯s cor, and angrily asked, ¡°I¡¯ve been watching you for so long. How about you and him?¡±


    ¡°Just because Wenxi and I are mature men, we know better how to judge the world.¡± Zhang Dong¡¯s face was calm, and his eyes were clear.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan is married! How can he think it through?¡± Hong Xuan asked in a fierce voice.


    Chen Yuanxi¡¯s face suddenly turned pale.


    Only then did he know that Zhao Yuan had already held a wedding ceremony with Shu Xiaoman in City G when he did not bother about what was happening in the outside world for two months.


    ¡°He has twin children and has achieved sess in his career. Wenxi, you¡¯re twenty-seven this year. Zhang Dong, if I remember correctly, you are thirty-one! You two stay here all day and do nothing serious. Tell me, is Luo Yang executed? Has Mo Qian been sentenced to death? Are you in the mood for anything else?¡± Hong Xuan could not help being fierce.


    Seeing that Hong Xuan had be an ordinary father who was urging his son to get married, Zhang Dong could not helpughing.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything wrong. Did I do something wrong? I¡¯m tired and want to rest. That¡¯s all!¡± Chen Yuanxi suddenly blushed, and said angrily, but he was gently knocked on his head by Hong Xuan.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything wrong. Leave me alone!¡± Chen Yuanxi sat on the chair with anger and turned his head, keeping silent.


    ¡°You are the same child as before!¡± Hong Xuan had not seen Chen Yuanxi doing that for many years, and could not help feeling it funny at this moment.


    Chen Yuanxi turned and said, ¡°I am a child. You¡¯re my only father now, and I am always your child!¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t talk to you!¡± Hong Xuan seemed angry.


    ¡°Then you can stop talking with me. If you are angry, you can lock yourself in the room. Don¡¯t stay in front of me!¡± Chen Yuanxi simply said.


    Although Hong Xuan had a good physical body, he had been tired for so many years and was more than fifty years old, so he did feel unwell because of being angry with Chen Yuanxi and went to the inner bedroom to have a rest.


    ¡°He¡¯s really married this time.¡± After Hong Xuan went in, Chen Yuanxi sat in a daze. Zhang Dong saw that his left index finger seemed to be bleeding because of being pinched by his right hand.


    Zhang Dong knew that there was no reason for him to talk at the moment. When the night wind blew, he put on a coat for Chen Yuanxi, who had been standing alone by the window for more than two hours.


    Zhao Yuan¡¯s wedding was grand and extravagant. It seemed that he wanted everyone to know that he, the president of YHpany, would marry a beautifuldy. The twins were very adorable and the couple loved each other. At the wedding, people toasted each other, full ofughter and happiness.


    The bride¡¯s red floor-length evening dress was very beautiful and bright, looking like the red sunset.


    But suddenly, the skirt began to twist. Gradually, it became the bloody scar on Hong Xuan¡¯s face and the scar on Gu Xi¡¯s forehead. Then a face appeared on the skirt. It was Wang Xiang who had passed away. He seemed to be smiling and crying.


    Chen Yuanxi woke up suddenly from a nightmare, and Zhang Dong also sat up beside him.


    Zhang Dong held Chen Yuanxi in his arms, patted him gently on the arm, put his chin on Chen Yuanxi¡¯s forehead, and said softly, ¡°It¡¯s OK, it¡¯s OK.¡±


    The door was suddenly opened. Hong Xuan turned on the light with a puzzled face. When he saw this situation, his face immediately turned livid. But when he saw the sweat on Chen Yuanxi¡¯s head and his pale face, his face gradually turned gentle.


    Chen Yuanxi broke away from Zhang Dong and smiled at Hongxuan. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±


    ¡°You never have nightmares,¡± said Hong Xuan.


    ¡°Maybe because I¡¯ve done a lot of bad things.¡± Chen Yuanxi smiled and wiped his sweat with a pillow towel.


    Before closing the door, Hong Xuan added, ¡°Is there an rm clock in that pillow? It has been shaking suddenly.¡±


    Zhang Dong smiled bitterly, ¡°Yes. I¡¯ll take it away.¡±


    That evening, Zhang Dong had been pressing the pillow and dared not get up again. Chen Yuanxi pillowed his arm and gradually calmed down.


    The three lived together for several days, and Hong Xuan became more and more unhappy. At Zhang Dong¡¯s suggestion, the three decided to go back to the town together to meet Hong Xuan¡¯s daughter, Hong Yan.


    When they were close to Ziyun Piano Store, Hong Xuan stopped and gave Chen Yuanxi a pinhole camera.


    ¡°Uncle Hong Xuan, will you... not go?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    Hong Xuan nodded his head.


    Maybe before making the decision, Hong Xuan had already realized that he would never meet his daughter again in this life. Hong Xuan had passed by for many times, even once sneaked into Ziyun Piano Store to secretly watch his daughter y the piano in the house. But they could not meet. He did not know what would Hong Yan think when she saw his appearance. Instead, he would rather let her gradually ept that her father had died eight years ago.


    Chen Yuanxi calcted and found that he had not seen his childhood ymate for more than eight years, although he had lived in the small city for so long and passed Ziyun Piano Store several times.


    They met each other face to face and hardly knew each other.


    They had not meet for many years. Chen Yuanxi wanted to talk about something they were familiar when they were children, but he finally failed to do after raking his brains, so he could simply ask Hong Yan how she had been these years. Then he knew that she had been running the piano store here and had opened another two small piano stores in the small town after he transferred Ziyun Piano Store to her when she graduated.


    Soon, Chen Yuanxi went straight to the point. He was eager to hear Hong Yan say that she had a lover.


    But Hong Yan was single.


    ¡°I¡¯m waiting for you toe back.¡± Hong Yan said with a smile.


    ¡°Wait for me?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°If you don¡¯te back and make it clear to me, I can¡¯t get married! My love has been dyed for so many years!¡± Hong Yan said with a smile.


    Until then did Chen Yuanxi know that Hong Xuan had conveyed Lin Ziwei¡¯s will to two people when he had an ident. One was Huang Xiya and the other was his wife.


    Hong Xuan always regarded Lin Ziwei¡¯s order as his faith. Naturally, he hoped that Hong Yan would marry Chen Yuanxi. Besides, Hong Yan and Chen Yuanxi had been engaged when they were children, which they both knew. So he thought that Hong Yan was willing to marry Chen Yuanxi. However, he could hardly believe his daughter¡¯s remark at this moment .


    ¡°We haven¡¯t seen each other for more than eight years and three months. In these years, we have our own lives. Even if you hase back to the small town, we still couldn¡¯t have chance to meet. You don¡¯t know me, and I¡¯m not familiar with you. Besides, you¡¯ve changed a lot! I can only get your information from news and newspapers. How can we have that kind of rtionship?¡± Hong Yan smiled and blushed.


    ¡°I have always respected uncle Lin, and I am very sorry for his departure. Since things have passed for so many years, I won¡¯t say anymore. But his will is only valid for you, and can¡¯t restrain me. Although my mother told me that my father wanted me to marry you, and even if I want toply with my father¡¯s wishes, I also have to respect your wishes, don¡¯t I?¡± ¡°Look, you haven¡¯te to make it clear for so many years, so that I couldn¡¯t get married. Brother Wenxi, how can youpensate me?¡± Hong Yan then joked and smiled, two shallow dimples appearing on her face.


    Chen Yuanxi¡¯s eyes turned red and he held Hong Yan tightly in his arms, saying, ¡°Sister, uncle Hong Xuan is my father. You are not my friend, but my sister!¡±


    ¡°I really have two good family members. One is my father, who has escaped from death in a great danger. At present, Chen Tianjiao is dead, but I don¡¯t know where he is. He hasn¡¯t returned home for more than eight years! The other is you, my brother. You joined the Chen Family, worked as a undercover, and destroyed the Chen Family to avenge uncle Lin. I also haven¡¯t seen you for more than eight years. It¡¯s really...¡± Hong Yan said as her eyes turned red, and then she sobbed softly in Chen Yuanxi¡¯s arms.


    Chen Yuanxi suddenly felt that something had been melted in his heart, which then became a pool of spring and rippled in the warm sunlight.


    ¡°Yanyan, I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s my fault. What I did before is too dangerous. I¡¯m afraid that I couldn¡¯t protect you.¡± Chen Yuanxi thought of the scenes in Hong Xuan¡¯s house when he was a child. He remembered that when he was severely trained by Hong Xuan, there was always a sister who wiped his wound. When he was sick, there was always a sweet voice around him. It was an excuse! For many years, because of all this, he had been cold-hearted and had not taken care of her for a second. He just had left her a Ziyun Piano Store that seemed to be profitable.


    ¡°Brother, you have told me that I can read and see the letters and photos sent by Brother Yun Che and Sister Ziping. I knew what you meant from the first letter. I read every letter. It¡¯s true. I know and remember every story. I feel the same with them! I shed tears with them and have fun with them. Brother Xi, I sincerely hope that Brother Yuan and you can live happily together. The world is big and the time is still early. In the future, it will be our young generation¡¯s world, right?¡± Hong Yan said with a smile.


    ¡°How are they doing?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°They have children. Now they are living in the prairies of Latin America. They said that they would to go to the South Pole soon! They said they would take many pictures of Antarctica and Aurora. They said there is the ends of the earth!¡± Hong Yan held Chen Yuanxi tightly and said.


    ¡°Thank you, sister. You know all this.¡± Chen Yuanxi was very peaceful.


    After Chen Yuanxi and Zhang Dong left, Hong Yan stood at the door of Ziyun Piano Store, tightly holding the half of the pendant once she had lost and shedding tears again.


    ¡°Brother Xi, I finally don¡¯t have to wait for you.¡±

 Chapter 223 Hong Xuan Leaves and Chen Wanxin Confesses Her Crimes

    <h4>Chapter 223 Hong Xuan Leaves and Chen Wanxin Confesses Her Crimes</h4>


    Chen Yuanxi saw Hong Xuan¡¯s red and swollen eyes.


    ¡°I won¡¯t interfere in your affairs with Yanyan, but I hope you will at least follow Ziwei¡¯s second will and live a good and safe life. As for you, Zhang Dong, if I know you lead Wenxi to the wrong way, no matter what you helped me, I will not let you go!¡±


    Chen Yuanxi understood Hong Xuan¡¯s meaning and asked him what he wanted to do.


    ¡°There are still a few thieves who haven¡¯t been caught. After catching them, I¡¯ll go back where I came from!¡± Hong Xuanughed and strode away.


    Chen Yuanxi rushed forward and hugged Hong Xuan.


    ¡°Dad... can you not leave... can you stay at somewhere and live... you have the ability to live, don¡¯t you?¡± Chen Yuanxi cried in a sad voice.


    ¡°I should have died more than eight years ago, Wenxi. Your father and I are sworn friends. We should go through thick and thin together...¡± Hong Xuan said in a trembling voice.


    ¡°But Mo Qian is not dead!¡± Chen Yuanxi chocked and almost could not breathe. Seeing that, Zhang Dong also could not help but shed tears.


    Hong Xuan sighed and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to let him die...¡±


    ¡°Dad!¡± Chen Yuanxi hugged Hong Xuan and repeatedly called him.


    ¡°Protect yourself, child.¡± Hong Xuan said with a smile, sped Chen Yuanxi¡¯s wrist, and walked away without looking back after giving a cold look to Zhang Dong.


    Zhang Dong held up Chen Yuanxi, who had copsed because of sadness. Looking at the back of Hong Xuan, he stood upright and made a standard military salute, liking an immovable bloody g under the setting sun.


    When the two returned to Chen Yuanxi¡¯s original residence, Zhang Dong saw Chen Yuanxi quietly picked up a small statue in the mezzanine of the gate and gently took it to the house.


    Chen Yuanxi wiped the dust on the statue in silence. The missing corner of the statue was like a bloody mouth, which would devour him directly.


    Zhang Dong had heard the story about the statue.


    Zhang Dong found that Chen Yuanxi seemed to cry more than before from sometime.


    He did not know what Chen Yuanxi had sent in the text message. He only saw that he deleted all themunication methods of a person. He then saw Chen Yuanxi silently took out a faded red jersey from the room, and cut it into pieces with scissors.


    ¡°Lovers should love and believe each other forever,¡± Chen Yuanxi murmured.


    ¡°Lovers should love and believe each other forever.¡± Chen Yuanxi shouted out.


    Then heughed crazily.


    Chen Yuanxi then frantically searched for something. He ransacked boxes and cabs, and even asked Zhang Dong to dismantle the bed, but he still could not find it. Zhang Dong had silently hidden something in the deepest crack of the backpack.


    When Chen Yuanxi was tired and had copsed on the ground, Zhang Dong dared to walk over and took him into the bedroom.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Every time you feel bad, I can¡¯t say or do anything,¡± Zhang Dong said guiltily.


    ¡°Who says you can¡¯t do anything?¡± Chen Yuanxi suddenly smiled at Zhang Dong and scrutinized him, saying, ¡°You have done it before more than once, haven¡¯t you?¡±


    Zhang Dong only felt his blood coagted.


    That night, Chen Yuanxi frantically rushed to Zhang Dong and tore his clothes.


    After a happy night, Chen Yuanxi fell asleep. When he was in tears, he still called Zhao Yuan.


    Zhang Dong sat by and watched the statue silently. His heart was bleeding.


    After another day, they went to visit Zheng Kai and Gu Xi.


    Gu Xi had moved back to Zheng Kai¡¯s house.


    ¡°I can¡¯t drive you away this time,¡± Zheng Kai said with a smile.


    ¡°Your mother is relieved to let me take care of you. What are you dissatisfied with? As soon as your mother leaves, I will naturally live in,¡± Gu Xi said with a smile. At that time, the third skin-grafting operation had been finished and Gu Xi had recovered well. He was no longer covered with many wounds and scars on his body and face. Butpared with his former snow-white and smooth face, his face now was like a piece of jade full of cracks and was not as beautiful as before. However, Gu Xi was very happy every day.


    Looking at Zheng Kai¡¯s ruddy face and vigorous spirit, one could know that Gu Xi had done much work on cooking and taking care of him.


    But Chen Wanxin was not there.


    Chen Wanxin had disappeared more than a week after Zheng Kai left the hospital. Zheng Kai thought that Chen Wanxin still chose to leave him at the end of the day. So regardless of his body, he drank for days at home to relieve his sorrow. Gu Xi stayed with him all day long and atst drunk with him.


    When they learned of Chen Wanxin again, they were asked to cooperate with the investigation.


    Chen Wanxin had sent herself to prison and listed all kinds of crimes for herself. After investigation, it was confirmed that when her parents were arrested, she had bribed relevant officials and threatened an official to charge Chen Yuanxi with usingpulsory psychotherapy against Zhu Hui, which indirectly led to Zhu Hui¡¯s death. Chen Wanxin was sentenced to two years in prison because of the two charges. Because users did not prosecute or report cases to the security authorities and many things happened a long time ago or were not criminal offenses, Chen Wanxin was not used of taking photos of Chen Yuanxi and exposing them, cooperating with Mo Qian to cheat Zhao Yuan out of the bedroom and other acts.


    Two monthster, it was said that Chen Wanxin won the championship in the women¡¯s group dancepetition in prison, and was also the director in chief of thepetition. Besides, she put forward a better prison management mode soon after she was put into prison, and she now was the leader of a team in the women¡¯s prison. She was also responsible for the management of books, and had made very good contributions. If she continued to do so, it was said that after four months, her sentence could bemuted.


    They could go to the prison to visit Chen Wanxin soon, and Zheng Kai seemed very happy.


    After knowing Zheng Kai¡¯s schedule, Chen Yuanxi finally smiled happily.


    Zheng Kai, together with some former security guards of BCpany, had attracted an investment from the shareholders of former BCpany. He was preparing to set up a small workshop for children¡¯s military training. But he could not find a suitable ce for studio and was busy renting the training site and arranging the corresponding facilities. Chen Yuanxi called Lin Ziwei¡¯s former subordinates several times to consult it and was willing to act as a guarantor. Then as long as the funds were prepared, the problems could be solved ordingly.


    Zheng Kai visited Wang Xiang¡¯s parents once a month, and considered them as his father-inw and mother-inw. After Wang Xiang¡¯s death, Chen Wanxin had taken care of Wang Xiang¡¯s parents for months, except for taking care of Zheng Kai. Wang Xiang¡¯s parents had hated and med Chen Wanxin, but after they repeatedly read Wang Xiang¡¯s diaries and microblog, they gradually felt Chen Wanxin¡¯s sincere and regarded her as their daughter and were more satisfied with Zheng Kai, their mighty son-inw, which could also ease their pain of losing son. After Zhang An¡¯an gave birth to their granddaughter, whose ancestral home is Hunan, named Wang Shixiang, most of their energy was put into caring for their granddaughter and their spirit gradually improved.


    Chen Wanxin¡¯s national debt was paid off by Zhao Yuan. The reason Zhao Yuan said also made Zheng Kai unable to refuse the money. When Zhao Yuan¡¯s father was in hospital for the second time, Chen Wanxin had helped him financially, and Zheng Kai gave up his degree because of this matter. Zhao Yuan exined all this in his email emotionally. Originally, this was not something money could repay. Now he could only provide financial help first.


    Chen Yuanxi and Zhang Dong lived in the small town for a few more days to help repair the tombs of Lin Ziwei, Zhao Mingjiang, Zheng Zihuan and Chen Tianjiao and so on. Then they went back to Tianfu Vige together. Apart from the people and things Zhang Dong should avoid, Zhang Dong went all the way Chen Yuanxi once walked.


    When they were in front of Chen Tianjiao¡¯s tombstone, Zhang Dong asked, ¡°Are you going to change your name back?¡±


    Chen Yuanxi smiled and said, ¡°No.¡±


    He was not a qualified official, but he had done his best to be a qualified father.


    When it was time to visit Chen Wanxin, Zhang Dong refused to go.


    Zheng Kai kept silent for a while and said, ¡°In fact, you needn¡¯t to do so.¡±


    ¡°Without experiencing these things and punishments, I can¡¯t live a good life. Just think that I¡¯ve found an opportunity to atone for what I have done.¡± Chen Wanxin smiled with tears in her eyes. At this moment, she, without any decoration, looked very simple and beautiful. Even if she was wearing prison uniform, it was hard to hide her beauty.


    ¡°If you are still ill, I won¡¯t feel at ease. You have recovered, and I should pay you back,¡± Chen Wanxin said, turning to Chen Yuanxi, ¡°Brother... can I call you that?¡±


    ¡°Sister, the past has passed like a dream, but the blood rtionship can¡¯t be chopped,¡± Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.


    ¡°I know that Zhao Yuan is married. I have written all the things I have done and sent it to him. In addition, it has nothing to do with Zhao Yuan that Xiaoman was pregnant. I used dirty means and in the room I even ce... Wenxi... I¡¯m really sorry and guilty... when he got up in the morning, he was calling your name all the time. He thought it was you who was with him that night... I don¡¯t know how Xiaoman got in...¡± Chen Wanxin said and cried.


    ¡°Sister, these are... not important. He¡¯s married and has two children. What can I do? Child is innocent,¡± Chen Yuanxi said with a smile. He once again thought of his kalpa, which might refer to the fate between Zhao Yuan and Shu Xiaoman. ¡°In fact, I am the one who broke into Wulingyuan by mistake, which is not my ideal hometown.¡±


    The three people talked for a long time. The bell rang and it was time for Chen Wanxin to leave. She stood up and reluctantly turned around to leave. When she left, she glimpsed at Zheng Kai¡¯s eyes.


    At that moment, Chen Wanxin suddenly remembered what Zhang An¡¯an had said to her in her wedding with Zhao Yuan that year. Zhang An¡¯an had said, ¡°Zheng Kai has entered your heart.¡±


    When Zheng Kai was stabbed trying to protect her, she scolded Lu Sisi regardless of her image. At that time, there was a deep shadow at the bottom of her eyes.


    When the earthquake happened that year, the man with big eyes, bushy eyebrows and stubble jumped into the pool with his arms around her. At that time, her different feeling towards Zheng Kai was recorded.


    That year, when Zheng Kai, who had just graduated, was drenched in rain and entered the BCpany for an interview from downstairs, she was absent of mind for a long time and unconsciously changed the color of themp on the desk from blue to orange.


    ¡°It¡¯s all my own unwillingness...¡±


    Chen Wanxin stood still, and kept silent for a long time, her shoulders slightly shaking.


    ¡°Zheng Kai! I love you!¡± Chen Wanxin suddenly turned around and cried to the microphone in tears. Her smile was like a lotus blooming out of the water, which was in full bloom in front of the mottled iron window.


    On hearing that, Zheng Kai, a strong and tough man, lost control and cried out loud.

 Chapter 224 (Don’t You Say Goodbye to Me?) Zhang Dong Goes to Jail Alone to Testify Against Mo Qian

    <h4>Chapter 224 (Don¡¯t You Say Goodbye to Me?) Zhang Dong Goes to Jail Alone to Testify Against Mo Qian</h4>


    Chen Yuanxi was going to go back with Zhang Dong, but Zhang Dong stood still, and several policemen came.


    Chen Yuanxi turned around and looked at Zhang Dong with doubts, who was standing among a group of armed police. Chen Yuanxi looked at Zhang Dong with a smile. Zhang Dong was tall and powerful. Among these armed police, he was a Triton of the minnows and his temperament as a soldier was no worse than theirs. But why did not hee to Chen Yuanxi?


    Zhang Dong smiled and said, ¡°Yuanxi, I can¡¯t apany you any longer.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi looked at Zhang Dong in disbelief, who was standing alone by the huge and solemn front door of the prison. It was dusk, and the lights had gone on. Zhang Dong¡¯s face was covered with lights of different colors, which covered up his real expression.


    ¡°Why?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    Zhang Dong said with a smile, ¡°I surrendered myself, so that I won¡¯t be sentenced too severely. When I¡¯m judged, you need to testify for me.¡±


    ¡°Zhang Dong...¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    Zhang Dong lowered his head slightly, then he raised his head again and said with a smile, ¡°In fact, I should have done this early. During this period, I was too selfish and wanted to... apany you.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi looked at the calm smile of the man in front of him and still stood there in a daze, as if he did not know what had happened.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you say goodbye to me?¡± Zhang Dong went to Chen Yuanxi and embraced him with open arms.


    ¡°Go to him,¡± Zhang Dong said in Chen Yuanxi¡¯s ears, ¡°He is the one you called when you had a dream.¡±


    ¡°Zhang Dong, you don¡¯t know that he¡¯s married.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi left Zhang Dong¡¯s arms and came to his sense, as if a strong cold wind had suddenly poured into his mind. He subconsciously ran forward for a few steps.


    ¡°Zhang Dong.¡± Chen Yuanxi called in a low voice.


    ¡°Zhang Dong! That thing...¡± Chen Yuanxi suddenly felt that it seemed superfluous to ask such a question again. On that day, he deliberately said to Zhang Dong in Beijing that Luo Yang and Mo Qian would be sentenced more severely if he turned himself in to testify against them. During those days in Beijing, he had a deep affection for Zhang Dong, at least half of which was sincere. However, he also felt lonely a lot. He even ttered Zhang Dong and urged him to surrender, but he dared not speak directly. That day, it was the first time he and Zhang Dong had had a formal sex, but he called Zhao Yuan on purpose.


    But when Zhang Dong was jailed, Chen Yuanxi suddenly realized that he was the only one left in the vast world.


    Zhang Dong waved with a smile, which looked like the rosy clouds in the sky. It appeared and disappeared.


    Chen Yuanxi looked down at the mud floor and his tears dropped down, sshing the dust all over the world. It seemed that there were two men running forward. Chen Yuanxi wanted to catch up, but he did not know whether to go left or right.


    Two monthster, it was snowing heavily in Inner Mongolia.


    Zhang Dong¡¯s biological mother and adoptive father, together with Lin Wenxi, were surrounding the fire and talking about the past.


    Zhang Dong¡¯s parents once returned to the small town because of threat, and were monitored in Inner Mongolia. They had been driven desperate. Later, they were finally escorted to go abroad and lived afortable life. Then they were asked toe back to help investigate Mo Qian. Now their hardships had passed, so they warmly weed Chen Yuanxi.


    Chen Yuanxi knew that Zhang Dong¡¯s parents knew each other after they came to Inner Mongolia with army to construct Inner Mongolia. He also knew that for the sake of Zhang Dong¡¯s education, they sent Zhang Dong to his grandparents¡¯ home in Yangzi County when he was in junior high school.


    Zhang Dong had a strong personality since he was a child. He was very independent, but he did not like learning. He was eager to be a soldier and make achievements in the army.


    Chen Yuanxi knew that Zhang Dong once had run into a ssmate who was beating on the street. He did not say a word and rushed to help. The opponent was a head taller than Zhang Dong, but he just wielded his small fists and beat him back.


    Chen Yuanxi knew that Zhang Dong had been in agony for a long time. Atst, he joined the army, which no one knew the reason, and then could not be contacted. Zhang Dong¡¯s familyter moved back to Inner Mongolia.


    Chen Yuanxi knew that there were many girls liking Zhang Dong.


    Chen Yuanxi saw many photos of Zhang Dong¡¯s honor hour. At that time, Zhang Dong had a pure and serious smile. However, now his face was full of maturity and vicissitudes of a man in his thirties, there were crow¡¯s feet on the corner of his eyes, and there seemed to be wrinkles on his forehead.


    ¡°We don¡¯t know what had happened so that he was wanted at that time, but we got a lot of gifts from him every year. We all know it was he who prepared the red packets and special purchases for the Spring Festival for us.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi lived in the guest room where Zhang Dong had been living when he was a child.


    It was still hard to sleep at night. He turned on the stereo, which emitted a wide and distant sound.


    ¡°Drink up the alcohol and refill the cup. Let¡¯s drink until we are thoroughly drunk...¡± It was yed again and again.


    When Chen Yuanxi first heard this song that night, he did not have such clear feelings. When Lin Ziwei¡¯s case had not been rified, Chen Yuanxi was regarded as a disloyal and unfilial son by the people in his hometown. Later, he even received numerous anonymous letters from his hometown, which were full of scorn and abuse. During that time, he could not go home. Even if he could return, what could he do? Chen Yuanxi knew that he had no hometown. Those memories in the homnd only existed for one¡¯s existence.


    Zhang Dong had wandered alone for a long time and had not gone home to have a look. It seemed that he had once mentioned that his hometown was full of his photos because he was wanted.


    ¡°The sky is vast. Where are the geese going? The north is my hometown in my heart...¡±


    Later, there was another song, whose lyrics made Chen Yuanxi feel sad and almost cry.


    ¡°The ce people can¡¯t reach is called the dream ce, and the ce people can¡¯t return is called hometown.¡± Zhang Dong did not mention any of his miss to his hometown to Chen Yuanxi. In the face of Chen Yuanxi, Zhang Dong only had two kinds of expressions, smiling face and anxious face. He smiled and felt worried both because of Chen Yuanxi¡¯s affairs. It seemed that there was nothing about himself. Now, the man who always centered on him, in order to testify against Luo Yang and Mo Qian, entered the prison.


    Chen Yuanxi could not help but p himself hard. In the past two years, all his gains could not hold a handle to what he had lost.


    Zhou Nannan had left and lived in seclusion, and there was no news about her from then on. Wang Zhengjuan had married into a rich family. Although she was grateful for her husband¡¯s love and had given birth to a son, she began to believe in Buddhism. No one knew her sadness and happiness. Zhu Hui died suddenly because of Chen Yuanxi¡¯s neglect, so Zhao Yuan lost two rtives again in one night, but he did not say what kind of suffering he had had? When they said goodbye, Chen Yuanxi found that his chin was full of disordered stubble and his body was thin, which greatly tortured Chen Yuanxi. Zhang An¡¯an had devoted a lot to Chen Yuanxi. Although he had his own reasons, because of his ipetence, she had been raped by three people andter lost Wang Xiang. Could she live a happy life with her daughter in the future? Because he wanted to catch Luo Yang and destroyed the rescue n of Captain Cao who fully trusted him, Gu Xi became a scarred patient from a beautiful young man. Because of his ipetence, they failed to catch Luo Yang in time, causing Zheng Kai to be seriously injured. Would his seque be more serious? In order to save Chen Wanxin, Wang Xiang... at that time, he was present, but he just rushed inside, and did not notice that Wang Xiang had rushed downstairs...


    Once Hong Xuan caught all the people of the Mo Family, he might turn himself in. He had killed many people, so it was inevitable that he would be sentenced to death.


    How many years would Zhang Dong be sentenced in prison?


    His biological father Chen Tianjiao, who he hated the most, knew that he would die if he did not go abroad, but still stepped down from the ne.


    His adoptive father Lin Ziwei, who he respected the most, had raised him for 19 years, but was the founder of all that year. He had framed Chen Tianjiao and robbed his wife and child...


    Life was like a joke.


    Chen Yuanxi slowly walked into the snow, and the snow soon covered his back. The world was in endless whiteness.

 Chapter 225 (Wait for Me!) Chen Yuanxi and Zhang Dong Make An Appointment

    <h4>Chapter 225 (Wait for Me!) Chen Yuanxi and Zhang Dong Make An Appointment</h4>


    The men¡¯s prison in the small town.


    ¡°How many years will you stay in the prison?¡± Chen Yuanxi tried to smile at Zhang Dong.


    ¡°It¡¯s not clear yet. I think it will be eight years. That¡¯s enough. When I go out, I¡¯m only 40 and only one tenth of my life will have passed. Besides, I¡¯m sure my sentence will bemuted.¡± Zhang Dong smiled easily.


    Chen Yuanxi was amused. He scolded while wiping tears, ¡°You fool, how long do you want to live!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll stay with you for 360 years before I dare to die,¡± said Zhang Dong.


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t you who took photos of me for Mo Qian, did you?¡± Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.


    ¡°If you really don¡¯t doubt it, you won¡¯t ask me.¡± Zhang Dong kept silent for three seconds and said with a smile, ¡°After more than two years with you, I have been more or less smarter.¡±


    Hearing that, Chen Yuanxi kept silent.


    ¡°I knew itter. In order to create a realistic effect, they smeared chili water on your body. But I guess you must felt disgusted and directly went to the bathroom as soon as you woke up... ha ha.¡± Zhang Dong suddenly burst outughing.


    Chen Yuanxi¡¯s face turned livid with anger. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me early?¡±


    ¡°I just wanted to see when you would stop doubting me. What a pity... I¡¯m not lucky enough. If I had known it early, I would have slept with you every day when we lived together in Beijing!¡± Zhang Dong smiled again.


    ¡°You are such a fool! Such a thing, how could you...¡± Chen Yuanxi felt extremely angry.


    ¡°If... if I had known it, I would have treated you a little bit better. I wouldn¡¯t have often asked you to carry tes and served us water and tea. I also wouldn¡¯t have asked you to clean the toilet and the yard. You shouldn¡¯t have beenughed at by others...¡± Chen Yuanxi said in a trembling voice.


    ¡°If so, Chen Tianjiao and Mo Qian would suspect you. Forget it. I¡¯m content.¡± Zhang Dong smiled.


    ¡°Zhang Dong, you¡¯re so foolish!¡± Chen Yuanxi scolded.


    ¡°Get him back, in the way you have seeded,¡± said Zhang Dong. Seeing that Chen Yuanxi was silent, Zhang Dong added, ¡°A person may love many in his life, but there is only one he or she will be always with. I hope your love isplete. Lovees but once in a life time, and leave no regret.¡± Zhang Dong¡¯s smile was as warm as the rare sunny day of this season.


    ¡°Probably, those who use that method are always hopeful.¡± Chen Yuanxi smiled.


    ¡°I love you.¡± Zhang Dong made a shape of heart, looking like a lively child.


    Chen Yuanxi said, ¡°Is it difficult for you to speak out the three words? Why did you tell me behind the bullet-proof ss? Am I frightening in your eyes?¡±


    ¡°I have said these three words to one person only once in my life. But I¡¯vee round to the idea that I don¡¯t like to be a backup. When I¡¯m out, I¡¯m going to enjoy countless beauties to make up for the loneliness of these years,¡± said Zhang Dongcently.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you have faith in yourself?¡± Chen Yuanxi asked again.


    ¡°I...¡± Zhang Dong suddenly faltered and said incoherently, ¡°When I go out, I want to see you live well.¡±


    ¡°Yeah? So you just left like this?¡± Chen Yuanxi said quietly.


    ¡°The earlier I came in, the earlier I will leave here. It¡¯s just a matter of time. Wenxi... I...¡±


    Through the ss, Chen Yuanxi saw Zhang Dong blushed.


    Chen Yuanxi gently kissed the ss board.


    Zhang Dong¡¯s smile suddenly disappeared. Seeing that, he also kissed the same ce on the other side of the ss board. Because he was too impatient, he directly knocked the bulletproof ss and a trace of blood flew out of his nose.


    ¡°I really want to be with you,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°Be the backup! Clean up your act tomute your sentence! After youe out, I¡¯ll take you to the mountains and rivers to see the new world outside! I asked the jailer to deliver you a present!¡± cried Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°Is it true? I¡¯m so d that Zhao Yuan got married and left you to me...¡± ¡°Your words are enough for me tofort myself in the future!¡± Zhang Dongughed.


    ¡°You are such a rascal!¡± Chen Yuanxi was speechless.


    ¡°You have to remember that I¡¯m Zhang Dong, arrogant Zhang Dong!¡± When time was up, Zhang Dongughed and left without looking back.


    But his tears suddenly fell.


    Soon, he received the gift from the jailer. It was two gold rings.


    Chen Yuanxi stayed in the small town. He was waiting for Hong Xuan to contact him. When everything was done, he nned to travel far away. The world was so big that he really wanted to see it. He was also eager to see Yun Che and Zhu Ziping.


    After repeated contact, Hong Xuan finally decided to surrender. He had cleaned up the people of the Mo Family in a legal way. He did not want to kill anyone.


    The liaison man was his subordinate then. But the man sent him a video.


    The video showed Chen Yuanxi and Zhang Dong were kissing through the ss board.


    ...


    Chen Yuanxi was quite surprised that he could not get any news of Hong Xuan from anyone. And the officer of the prison in the small town told him that Zhang Dong was a special prisoner and could not be visited again.


    The longer time went by, the more uneasy Chen Yuanxi became.


    Chen Yuanxi made an appointment with Hong Yan and took Gu Xi to visit her. Since Chen Yuanxi lived nearby, except for working and cooking for Zheng Kai, Gu Xi had been staying with him all the time.


    Chen Yuanxi opened the familiar rusty courtyard door lightly. The courtyard was messy and had not been taken care of for a long time. However, there were several pairs of shoes on the front door, proving that the owner still lived here.


    A few sighs came behind the door, and then an old face stretched out, which greatly surprised Chen Yuanxi.


    The old woman, wearing her presbyopic sses, did not seem to know him.


    ¡°Auntie, I¡¯vee to visit you.¡± Chen Yuanxi said with a smile as he went in with valuable gifts.


    The old woman looked up at Chen Yuanxi doubtfully and scrutinized him carefully, as if she was recalling something.


    ¡°Auntie, I¡¯m Chen Yuanxi.¡± Chen Yuanxi said patiently.


    ¡°Ah... Chen?¡± The old woman shook her head and suddenly drove him angrily while murmuring, ¡°Get out! Get out!¡±


    ¡°Mom, it¡¯s Brother Wenxi.¡± Hong Yan, dressed in in clothes and with no decoration, came to stop her mother. She smiled at Chen Yuanxi lightly, but there was indescribable sadness on her face. ¡°My cell phone was out of power just now, so I couldn¡¯te out to pick you up in time.¡±


    ¡°Wenxi? Is he Wenxi?¡± Suddenly, the woman shed tears, which flew like the Yellow River breaking the dike. She stretched out her dry hands and held Chen Yuanxi tightly. After a long time, she buried her face in Chen Yuanxi¡¯s hands and sobbed, saying, ¡°You uncle Hong Xuan is sorry to your family. Your family are righteous, but your uncle Hong Xuan is a murderer who has killed more than ten people!¡±


    ¡°Mom! I don¡¯t believe dad is such a person!¡± Hong Yan walked forward, helped her, and smiled shyly at Chen Yuanxi.


    Chen Yuanxi suddenly felt ominous.


    ¡°No matter whether you are or not, you¡¯re no longer in this world! In all the documentster, you are a murderer! I¡¯ve been waiting for you for nine years. What I received is your ashes, and the news of your suicide! If you felt disgraceful, you could turn yourself in, and let us know how you die!¡± The old woman suddenly jumped into the door and knelt on a mat, beating her chest and stamping her feet in deep sorrow and sobbing.


    As the door was opened slowly by the woman, a mourning hall slowly appeared in front of Chen Yuanxi. The person in the photo was Hong Xuan.

 Chapter 226 Farewell

    <h4>Chapter 226 Farewell</h4>


    Hong Xuan was walking in a daze in the wild. He thought he might have killed the wrong person this time.


    The video sent by the liaison suggested that Zhang Dong and Wenxi had kissed each other across the bulletproof ss, which made him furious! What made him angrier was that he heard that Zhang Dong had been wearing rings on both hands all day long, which were sent by Wenxi! ¡°I¡¯ve warned him not to mislead my son! My only son!¡±


    The moon was bright and peaceful, but his eyes were full of bloodshot. He knew that Zhang Dong was a man of righteous ardour and was not afraid of death, but he did not expect that Zhang Dong¡¯s words before he died would make him lose his mind for a moment.


    He knew that prisoners in the prison sometimes had to go out to carry out their tasks to expiate their crimes. Among those people, there must be Zhang Dong.


    He had videoed his testimony against Mo Qian, as well as some evidence that could be searched, and the ce where the body was buried. Then he sent an email to the liaison who had surrendered himself and waited.


    The grass was dreary and the bright moonlight made people feel cool. Hong Xuan was lying on the ground, motionless.


    In such a county, the vehicles for transporting prisoners were often not well equipped, which Hong Xuan knew better than anyone else. And stopping a car which only carried a few prisoners was a piece of cake for him.


    It took him a lot of time and effort to hijack Zhang Dong alone. Anyway, Zhang Dong still stood in front of himself against his gun in the end.


    ¡°Before I die, I¡¯m worried about Wenxi the most. The most worried thing is that you will hurt him after you¡¯re released from prison!¡± said Hong Xuan.


    ¡°I will not hurt him.¡± Zhang Dong said calmly.


    ¡°You may not die, but you must promise me that you will never meet him again after you are released from prison!¡± said Hong Xuan.


    ¡°I promised him I would stay with him for 360 years.¡± Zhang Dong said as if nothing had happened.


    ¡°Are you really not afraid of death?¡± Hong Xuan asked in a sharp voice.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid,¡± answered Zhang Dong.


    ¡°I¡¯ll give you onest chance. Will you promise?¡± Hong Xuan heavily beat Zhang Dong¡¯s head with the butt of his gun.


    .


    ¡°I won¡¯t leave him,¡± said Zhang Dong in a loud voice.


    Hong Xuan asked Zhang Dong to go ahead and loaded his gun behind Zhang Dong.


    ¡°Zhang Dong! I¡¯ll give you onest chance again!¡±


    Zhang Dong walked in the wilderness under the moonlight. His face was calm and peaceful in the moonlight.


    He took off his shoes, and his feet sank in the mud. The weeds in the wild kissed his toes. It was as cold as Lin Wenxi¡¯s lips and tears that night.


    He saw fireflies in the grass, which was like the shlight in the hands of the child more than ten years ago.


    He enjoyed the breeze on his cheek, which he thought was as gentle as the child¡¯s whisper a few months ago. ¡°In those months, you lied to me, didn¡¯t you... In order tofort me and encourage me to get out of prison early, you gave me those two gold rings. Wenxi, others may not see the truth of what you do, but after being together with you for two years, how can I not know?¡±


    ¡°Thank you for giving me two years.¡±


    ¡°If I hadn¡¯t done that at the beginning, if I had been guarding you all the time, would the ending be different...¡±


    He looked up at the clouds and the moon. At that moment, he felt that ten thousand years had passed in the world, and that the person who should go might have turned into skeleton, or the tombstone engraved with his name had been corroded. In this world, from the past to the future, no one like him could be found.


    He walked slowly to the swamp. Maybe, it was better to rest there forever than to be eroded by those snakes and insects in the wilderness. If he had to die, he would rather die quietly without leaving a trace.


    ¡°What else do you want to say?¡± Hong Xuan asked in a deep voice.


    ¡°I failed to keep my appointment. Please don¡¯t tell him that I¡¯m dead.¡± Zhang Dong said with a smile.


    A dull gunshot resounded to the skies, and a lonely figure fell to the clear swamp in front of him. Then he was mercilessly engulfed by the swamp. The moon¡¯s reflection in the swamp was broken, and it seemed that it could not be pieced together anymore. It became twisted fragments, among which ck blood gushed.


    Hong Xuan was walking in a daze. Zhang Dong had said to him that he and Lin Ziwei were brothers while Yuanxi and he liked each other.


    Zhang Dong had said he won¡¯t leave Wenxi.


    Zhang Dong¡¯sst wish before he died was not to let Wenxi know that he was dead.


    ¡°How could such a person do harm to Wenxi?¡±


    ¡°No, no, he seemed to say he wanted to marry Wenxi?¡±


    ¡°How can a man marry a man? What are Wenxi¡¯s ideas?¡± Hong Xuan recalled that when Lin Wenxi and Lin Ziwei quarreled that night, Lin Wenxi cried and said to Lin Ziwei while pointing to him, ¡°How can you be so mean? You actually forced him to stay away from me by investigating his father¡¯s affairs! I¡¯m telling you, Lin Ziwei, he will be your son in the future! When you are old enough to die, he will bury you!¡±


    ¡°Wenxi¡¯s words have be a prophecy. Brother, when you died, it was Zhao Yuan who buried you, not Wenxi.¡±


    Wenxi¡¯s expression whirled in front of Hong Xuan¡¯s eyes. He was so scared. He was afraid of Wenxi¡¯s crying. He was afraid that Wenxi would hold him and call him dad. He seemed to see Wenxi looking at him with blood on his face.


    Hong Xuan came to the gate of his own house. He had been here many times, but he had never gone into the house.


    Since he disappeared, Chen Tianjiao¡¯s subordinates had been wandering around here every day and there must be many monitors around here. When Chen Tianjiao was arrested, he was the wanted He Fu...


    Every time he killed a person, he would be a step further away from here.


    Hong Xuan saw her daughter came out and poured the remaining dregs in the corner. ¡°Is my wife sick?¡± The courtyard crackled and crumbled in the gale. Hong Xuan had put his legal money into a bank card, but the ount name was not his name. The password was his wife¡¯s birthday and thest several numbers of the card number happened to be Hong Yan¡¯s birthday. He believed that his smart daughter would know who left it to them.


    Hong Xuan walked by the river of his hometown, and then squatted and sat there until the early morning. It seemed that he still was thinking about someone. ¡°Who saved me when I was seriously injured and unconscious that year? Who kissed my lips that year?¡± Hong Xuan and his wife were arranged to get married. It seemed that his wife had never kissed him so crazily and deeply. During that hard and dark time, revenge was no longer his goal. Instead, he instinctively wanted to know who had given him such a deep kiss.


    But it was toote.


    A cleaner was very surprised, because he found that a strange man had been motionless on the bank for at least two hours.


    The cleaner shook Hong Xuan, but his body suddenly fell down.


    Only then did the cleaner find that there was a lot of dry blood in front of the man and a pistol with blood on his right while there were many cigarette butts all over the ground on his left.

 Chapter 228 (Why Haven’t I Dreamt About You) Chen Yuanxi Seems to be Dreaming about Zhang Dong

    <h4>Chapter 228 (Why Haven¡¯t I Dreamt About You) Chen Yuanxi Seems to be Dreaming about Zhang Dong</h4>


    On the marsnd, the foundation had been newlyid. In a short time, there would be many houses standing here.


    Chen Yuanxi came there and sat down quietly, imagining how Zhang Dong fell under the gun of Hong Xuan that night.


    Chen Yuanxi could not understand why Hong Xuan was so cruel to Zhang Dong before he died. He thought about it and suddenly thought it through. ¡°Because he shouldn¡¯t love me. He loves me, so his life has to pay the price.¡±


    ¡°If I were a girl, maybe Hong Xuan would have hijacked him to help us.¡±


    But then he fell into a deeper confusion.


    ¡°Zhang Dong, why were you so stupid that you would rather die? Why didn¡¯t you choose to agree to uncle Hong Xuan? You need to be flexible when it¡¯s urgent. There would be a solution in the future! You have learned from me for more than two years, but you¡¯re still as upright as Zheng Kai!¡±


    Chen Yuanxi smiled bitterly and madly. He was lying in the sand outside the foundation, smiling. He forced himself to sleep. He hoped that he could dream of Zhang Dong.


    He did dream of Zhang Dong.


    What he dreamed was the night more than ten years ago. What he dreamed was Zhang Dong who was saying, ¡°Attention! Stand at ease!¡± What he dreamed was the photo he was taken of when he suddenly slipped in front and then turned around.


    He dreamed that he said while holding a dagger, ¡°My life is yours.¡±


    He dreamed that he pped his chest with righteousness and said, ¡°I¡¯m Zhang Dong, arrogant Zhang Dong!¡±


    He dreamed that being pointed by Hong Xuan¡¯s gun, Zhang Dong slightly smiled, turned around, and disappeared from then on.


    ¡°The soul seems to enter the dream. Who is in front of the window? And who is dressing up?¡±


    ¡°If not, why haven¡¯t I dreamed of you since then?¡±


    ¡°Wenxi, I think instructor Zhang was desperate,¡± said Gu Xi.


    ¡°Why was he desperate? Why?¡±


    ¡°Wenxi, have you really loved him? You wanted to be with him, because you wanted him to clean up his act tomute his sentence, or you really love him?¡± asked Gu Xi.


    Chen Yuanxi shook his head.


    ¡°You don¡¯t know? Wen Xi, I¡¯m asking you, do you love Zhao Yuan? You needn¡¯t answer, because I know your answer. But you said you don¡¯t know whether you love Zhang Dong. Wenxi, I haven¡¯t seen you for so many years, so that I can¡¯t understand you,¡± said Gu Xi. Suddenly, he gave up and showed apromised smile.


    ¡°Were you desperate? Do you think that you can walk away quietly in this way?¡±


    ¡°If there is a next life, I believe you and him will meet again. Then, are you willing to be a man or a woman?¡± Gu Xi had to say that tofort Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°I¡¯d rather disappearpletely and not beg for the next life from God! I¡¯ve suffered a lot in this life. What should I do with the next life?¡± Chen Yuanxi said indifferently.


    ¡°If I can decide my own destiny, I will not let God send me to this fucking world!¡± Chen Yuanxi hammered his head painfully.


    ¡°I still hope to see what fate I will have and then decide how I will die,¡± Gu Xi smiled and said, ¡°I hope that Zheng Kai will still be Zheng Kai in the next life. Wanxin won¡¯t fall in love with others. I hope that I still will be his brother. That¡¯s enough.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi hugged Gu Xi. He knew that Gu Xi was happy, so Gu Xi was full of hope. He felt happy for Gu Xi, but his life had changed from a fairy tale to a joke.


    Chen Yuanxi was sitting on the edge of the tallest building in the city and looking at the south. No one knew how he climbed up.


    It was at dusk, but he was still sitting there. The setting sun made everything soft. Even those armored concrete and hard building shapes were inexplicably warm. It was another night, and another day had passed. Chen Yuanxi searched himself and found that he had smoked two packs of cigarettes. Suddenly, he was inexplicably held by someone from behind, and he was so scared that he failed to keep stable and almost fell down and died.


    Fortunately, the man hugged him tightly. He turned around and saw that it was a tough, handsome firefighter, much younger than him.


    Of course, it was veryfortable to be held by the firefighter, so Chen Yuanxi did not resist. He even leaned his head on the firefighter¡¯s shoulder and put his arms around his waist. He was soon escorted to the ambnce, and then he realized that he had been treated as a suicide attempt.


    Before getting on the ambnce, Chen Yuanxi smiled bitterly at the shing mobile phones of the people who did not know the truth.


    Although Chen Yuanxi had repeatedly exined that he just climbed up to rx himself and had no idea of suicide, he was fined for disturbing public order, and was patiently persuaded by a psychiatrist. Naturally, this matter was reported on a certain section of the local newspaper, which said, ¡°The Former Secretary¡¯s Son Wanted to Jump from the Building, and the Firefighter Was Desperate to Save Him.¡±


    The next day, looking at the newspaper, Chen Yuanxiughed and almost cried. ¡°The fact is that I was so scared that I almost fell to death. If the firefighter were not so handsome, I wouldin about it.¡±


    Zheng Kai and Gu Xi, as rtives, were invited to pick up Chen Yuanxi.


    Chen Yuanxi was shaken by Zheng Kai and Gu Xi.


    ¡°Mo Qian is not dead, how could youmit suicide?¡± asked Zheng Kai loudly.


    ¡°If he is dead, can Imit suicide?¡± asked Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°Er...¡± Zheng Kai paused and continued, ¡°If he is dead, you still can¡¯tmit suicide.¡±


    ¡°You all go. I know what to do,¡± said Chen Yuanxi. At least Zheng Kai was right. There was a man who was not dead.


    That night, the airport in the small town.


    ¡°Do you mean it¡¯s just a misunderstanding? Is Wenxi OK?¡± asked Zhao Yuan.


    ¡°Of course, it¡¯s OK. How could Wenximit suicide? He is such a powerful man. Come here as soon as possible. I haven¡¯t had a good drink with you since I opened my training school for so long.¡± Zheng Kai said with a smile on the phone.


    The baby sitter¡¯s phone then rang.


    ¡°Mengyuan and Mengxi have been crying. Xiaoman is lying in bed and having a severe fever. Mr. Zhao, I¡¯m so busy that I almost want to die... what should I do?¡±


    Zhao Yuan walked out of the airport, hailed a taxi, opened the door, and paused for a moment. Then he threw a hundred yuan to the driver, returned again, and bought the ticket back to City G that night.


    Chen Yuanxi and Gu Xi worked together to take away Zheng Kai¡¯s cell phone. When he went to the prison to visit Chen Wanxi, he even managed to bring his mobile phone in and recorded a video for Chen Wanxin.


    Suddenly, a piece of message showed up.


    Chen Yuanxi returned the mobile phone to Zheng Kai with a smile and left immediately. Zheng Kai saw the message from Zhao Yuan on his mobile phone.


    ¡°Sorry, I have something to do tonight and have toe back first. Let¡¯s get together next time!¡±


    ¡°The rule of self-injury is only useful for those who have hope, don¡¯t you know? I¡¯ll never use it again.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi took a bus that night to visit Zhang An¡¯an, who was taking care of the baby in Wang Xiang¡¯s hometown.


    ¡°I came here just to take a drop of your blood,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°Then, everything depends on you.¡± Zhang An¡¯an smiled miserably.


    ¡°For the sake of Shixiang, take good care of yourself.¡± Chen Yuanxi said briefly and left in a hurry.


    ¡°Remember to... let him die!¡± Zhang An¡¯an murmured and the baby in her arms suddenly opened her mouth and cried.

 Chapter 229 A Lot of Things Happened, but the Mountain and the Sun Are Still There

    <h4>Chapter 229 A Lot of Things Happened, but the Mountain and the Sun Are Still There</h4>


    The prison in the small town.


    Chen Yuanxi and Mo Qian were arranged to meet in a separate room.


    ¡°Unexpectedly, uncle Hong Xuan and Zhang Dong worked together, and they could only make Luo Yang was sentenced to death. You can still wait for further investigation,¡± Chen Yuanxi said with a smile, ¡°Old friend, long time no see.¡±


    In front of Chen Yuanxi, Mo Qian, once rich and glorious, was still wearing his sses of silver frame, whose both sides had been badly worn. In prison, he had no chance to silver it.


    ¡°Are you here to say goodbye to me?¡± asked Mo Qian.


    ¡°No, I¡¯m here to let you say goodbye to yourself,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    ess vi pnovel


    ¡°What should I call you?¡± asked Mo Qian.


    ¡°Chen Yuan Xi.¡±


    ¡°We can¡¯t go back. So if you have anything to say, just say it.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll give you a chance to tell me the story between uncle Hong Xuan and you. I¡¯m afraid no one will listen to it. If you don¡¯t need this opportunity, it¡¯s best.¡± Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.


    Mo Qian scrutinized him for a long time, and nodded thoughtfully.


    Mo Qian held his cheeks, and quietly looked out of the window, as if he were a teenage girl now. The spring light turned into the summer night, and the autumn wind turned into the winter snow.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have a long story. Hong Xuan and I met in the army. He was an engineer and I was in the civil service. We both liked drinking very much and had a lot of capacity for liquor. We oftenpeted with each other when we were free. Hong Xuan always thought that I was strange, but he still regarded me as his brother.¡± There was a smile on Mo Qian¡¯s face when he said.


    ¡°Later, Hong Xuan was selected to join the secret service team and went to the mountain area for support. Once he went, he had to stay there for half a year. I waited and waited. Finally, I couldn¡¯t help writing a letter to him. Maybe I said something I shouldn¡¯t have said. It was funny that Hong Xuan, who was carrying out the task, even had no right to check his own letter, so the letter fell into Lin Ziwei¡¯s hands. Then I was transferred to another county by Lin Ziwei.¡± Mo Qian¡¯s face was then gloomy.


    Chen Yuanxi had never seen such a Mo Qian, whose face looked like the changing four seasons.


    ¡°I¡¯m the only one who knows what I¡¯ve done. The rest of the year was like a nightmare. I was finally assigned to Tianfu Vige. Finally, I could get close to Hong Xuan again. But Lin Ziwei assigned Hong Xuan and me to different viges. Every time I invited Hong Xuan to drink, I had to walk 30 kilometers of the mountain road. I worked hard and I didn¡¯t care anything. Eventually, I was only 10 kilometers away from Hong Xuan. Although Hong Xuan was busy, we still were brothers and he also visited me from time to time.¡±


    ¡°Together, we were in the wild under heavy rain, shouting and singing revolutionary songs. Together, we drank while enjoying the sunset and discussed our life ns. Chen Yuanxi, do you know what it means to enjoy wine and songs while we can, for life is short. Do you know what it means to time is simr to the dew in the morning and too much has passed? I was getting closer and closer to him, and finally, I was officially assigned to the countryside. But your father moved me away again...¡±


    ¡°Almost everyone knew that there was internal strife caused by a woman between Lin Ziwei and Chen Tianjiao. Deng Yifei is my cousin, so I knew the whole story. I knew my chance was here. I surrendered myself to Chen Tianjiao, and formally entered the countryside to work. Lin Ziwei had no ability to transfer me anymore. But Chen Tianjiao¡¯s working style was... different from Lin Ziwei¡¯s... Hong Xuan and I couldn¡¯t be as honest and open to each other as before. Chen Tianjiao secretly asked someone to persuade Hong Xuan¡¯s parents to arrange Hong Xuan¡¯s marriage. How could such a person like his wife deserve Hong Xuan? But Hong Xuan is a filial son, and he agreed to marry the woman his parents chose! After she married Hong Xuan and gave birth to Hong Yan, she stopped working for Chen Tianjiao, and I... had no more reason to approach Hong Xuan...¡±


    ¡°When we had ourst drink, Hong Xuan advised me to leave Chen Tianjiao. I agreed.¡±


    ¡°I resigned and went into business, but Chen Tianjiao tried to make Deng Yifei¡¯s younger brother marry my younger sister. I have only one sister in my life, and her happiness is in my hands.¡±


    ¡°Chen Tianjiaoter gave me policy support. I secretly set up my own organization. Chen Yuanxi, I hate both Lin Ziwei and Chen Tianjiao! But I hate Lin Ziwei first! I was going to destroy both of your families. I wanted to destroy them by myself day and night! What did I do wrong? I, Mo Qian, neither did things stealthily nor had illicit rtions with women. I worked hard and devoted myself to my work. I just identally revealed that I like Hong Xuan in my letter. Because of that, your father stopped me from seeing Hong Xuan again and again! I didn¡¯t expect too much! I didn¡¯t care if Hong Xuan got married! I just hoped that Hong Xuan and I could sincerely treat each other. I just wanted to drink with him, talk horse with him, and sing revolutionary songs with them for a lifetime! Did I do something wrong? I promised Hong Xuan to resign and go into business. I wanted to be an innocent businessman. I thought that in this way, I could... get closer to him. But can I? Since I did the first thing Chen Tianjiao asked me to do, I dared not face Hong Xuan again! I dared not hear him say his ideal, and his ambition! I dared not hear him sing anymore!¡± ¡°Chen Tianjiao and Lin Ziwei havepeted with each other openly and secretly for more than 20 years. For more than 20 years, my hands have been covered with the blood of those who died on my hands. I saw him and Lin Ziwei help farmers in the countryside nt rice seedlings, but I dared not look at him again.¡±


    ¡°When I knew him again, he was He Fu who has betrayed me! We stayed in the same room for three days. I hadn¡¯t had such an opportunity for decades. But the one he wanted to kill most was me...¡±


    Chen Yuanxi smiled silently, feeling his throat was dry.


    ¡°Chen Yuanxi, if Hong Xuan hadn¡¯t treated you as his own son, if he hadn¡¯t loved you very much, you would have died countless times in my hand, wouldn¡¯t have returned to the Chen Family alive, and wouldn¡¯t have set up your own forces overseas! When you investigated me, I naturally would fight back. But when you investigated Chen Tianjiao, I would help you! Otherwise, Zhu Hui would have already died! Do you think, ording to my ability, I would keep her alive so that you can found her?¡± With tears in his eyes, Mo Qian smiled miserably.


    ¡°Even so, does my father have to die? What¡¯s wrong with my mother? What¡¯s wrong with... Zhao Yuan? What¡¯s wrong with his father, his mother, and those who died for them?¡± Chen Yuanxi could not help but burst into tears.


    ¡°So, Wanxin, who just had been spoiled, has been brought into contact with the Mo Family by you since high school and has be arrogant! So, when my two fathers had the opportunity to reconcile and agree not to interfere in the affairs of each other in the next life, you deliberately provoked dissension between Wanxin and me at the right time! So why did you keep me alive? Why did you not kill me?¡± Chen Yuanxi cried out.


    ¡°I naturally wanted to protect those Hong Xuan wanted to protect,¡± said Mo Qian coldly.


    ¡°Did you love those Hong Xuan loved? He respected my adoptive father and went through fire and water for him. He respected my biological mother and raised me with her since I was very young. However, one was killed by you and the other¡¯s whereabouts were unknown! He loved his career and the people my adoptive father regarded as belief! But you¡¯ve done a lot of harm to the countryside and people! His beloved wife and daughter...¡±


    ¡°I did nothing harmful to his wife and daughter! Chen Tianjiao had wanted to, but I stopped him!¡± Mo Qian said angrily.


    ¡°You let a woman in her fifties be widowed, and let a daughter in her twenties lose her fathers. Does that mean you didn¡¯t hurt them?¡± Chen Yuanxi sneered.


    ¡°What did you say?¡± Hearing that, Mo Qian was shocked and changed his face, like being struck by lightning. He looked straight at Chen Yuanxi with his eyes wide open.


    ¡°He hasmitted suicide,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°Don¡¯t try to lie to me!¡± Mo Qian stood up excitedly, and two guards rushed up to press him down.


    ¡°You have seen the video and letters that uncle Hong Xuan recorded and wrote to report you. Do you think that what he has done means that he didn¡¯t report the case to the security authorities and wanted to get away with murder? Do you think uncle Hong Xuan could still live without guilty after doing so many things? It¡¯s funny that you, the most damned man, are still alive!¡± Chen Yuanxi smiled coldly and threw a local newspaper which reported that He Fu had died on the table.


    Mo Qian suddenly seemed to have aged countless years. He lowered his back, took off his sses, and stroked it slowly.


    The muscles on Chen Yuanxi¡¯s face twitched a little, and then he slowly showed a smile on his face.


    ¡°Mo Qian, you love your family, right? So in those days, you helped Chen Tianjiao to do evil for your sister! But you also love your daughter, don¡¯t you?¡± Chen Yuanxi smiled.


    ¡°How do you know?¡±


    ¡°It seems that you didn¡¯t mention the dancer in that bar in your story just now, did you? You yed with her for half a year and then abandoned her. Sheter became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter. But when you knew it, she had already left with your daughter. You were capable, but you couldn¡¯t find them and you even didn¡¯t know that your daughter was near!¡± Chen Yuanxi sharply said that as he threw a paternity test paper to Mo Qian.


    It showed that the probability of parent-child rtionship between Zhang An¡¯an and Mo Qian was 99.999%.


    ¡°Zhang An¡¯an? My daughter? Zhang An¡¯an? Which Zhang An¡¯an?¡± Mo Qian asked in a trembling voice.


    Then a few photos taken on that crazy and helpless night were thrown to Mo Qian. What followed was several newspapers more than a year ago, whose headlines were made up of all the insulting words to the female star.


    ¡°How do you feel? You haven¡¯t done your duty of being a father for more than 20 years, leading your only daughter to wander around with her mother and to be adopted by Boss Zhang and be a tool for revenge! Finally, you looked at her with your own eyes when she was raped by several men at the same time! Mo Qian, how poor An¡¯an is! God should have punished you! However, it was she who has suffered! The only man she loves most also died because Luo Yang wanted to kill Zheng Kai. Now she is living in a strange country with your granddaughter. Mo Qian, please tell me whether An¡¯an is innocent?¡±


    Mo Qian suddenly remembered that when he went to Boss Zhang¡¯s house, he once saw a little girl looking at him and asking her father, ¡°Dad, who is he?¡±


    ¡°This is uncle Mo.¡±


    The little girl burst into tears and ran into the house.


    At that time, he thought that the little girl was familiar. It turned out that he saw part of himself on her.


    If he had gone further at that time, what would happen...


    But there were no more ifs. He had only met her twice in his life...


    ¡°That dancing girl hated you all her life, and Zhang An¡¯an also hates you all her life. Boss Zhang, who was forced to join the Mo Family by you with all means, hates you all his life. Even Hong Xuan hated you all his life, until he died.¡± Chen Yuanxi said calmly.


    Mo Qian suddenly hugged his head and burst into tears. But he could only open his mouth and could not make a sound.


    ¡°I only ask you one thing. Don¡¯t let anyone know that I¡¯m An¡¯an¡¯s father.¡± Mo Qian said in a low voice at the end.


    ¡°Hong Xuan, my mind of my whole life and my life...¡±


    A monthter, people of the prison said that Mo Qian had confessed all his crimes. What he had done was recorded in detail and then sealed forever.


    Another half a monthter, people of the prison said that Mo Qian hadmitted suicide in prison. Before he died, he left a note, decided to donate his body, and asked someone to send several videos to Chen Yuanxi.

 Chapter 230 (It’s Like A Dream) Where Should I Go?

    <h4>Chapter 230 (It¡¯s Like A Dream) Where Should I Go?</h4>


    Chen Yuanxi watched the videos attentively on the bed.


    Chen Yuanxi watched the first video. A gentle man gently bent over to put the clothes on the boy¡¯s quilt who was lying on the bed. The boy turned over in a daze, and put his arms around the man¡¯s neck with a happy smile on his face. The man kept the posture of leaning down for fear of waking up the boy on the bed until the boy¡¯s hands slipped, and fell outside the quilt. Then the man held the boy¡¯s hands, put them in the quilt, and tightly held him in the quilt. He lowered his head, and whispered something. After a while, the man got into the quilt, hugged the boy from behind, and his face was close to the boy¡¯s back...


    At that time, Chen Yuanxi could smell a strange smell in the room. Even the forensic said it was estrus-spurred medicine. At that time, how could Zhang Dong restrain himself and protect Chen Yuanxi? How could he guarantee that Chen Yuanxi and he could safely leave under the pressure of Mo Qian.


    Chen Yuanxi felt as if Zhang Dong¡¯s cold kiss was on his forehead. He looked up as if Zhang Dong was looking at him tenderly at any time and in any ce


    ¡°What a brilliant editing!¡± Chen Yuanxi had never doubted it!


    So he had been asking Zhang Dong to do all those things that peopleugh at all the time.


    So he, just because of a bad mood, often kept him awake several nights to torture him.


    So, at the critical moment, regardless of his safety, he let him catch Luo Yang.


    So he persuaded him to turn himself in as soon as possible.


    ¡°How much sincere I put in that pair of rings?¡±


    ¡°s...¡±


    Chen Yuanxi sighed deeply.


    Then it was the second video that might have been recorded by a mobile phone. It was not clear and someone in the video muttered, ¡°Maim him! Let¡¯s see how can he be arrogant in the future.¡± The camera moved slowly and a few people were surrounding Zhang Dong. One of them was Mo Qian, and another was Luo Yang. They all wore thick clothes. It was the winter of a certain year. Zhang Dong¡¯s hands were tied to the cross, and his feet were immersed in the water, where there seemed to be some ice. He was stripped of his coat, and there were striking wounds caused by being whipped on his arms and chest, some of which were already bloodstained. Zhang Dong bit his teeth and said nothing.


    ¡°The day I saw Zhang Dong was the time when he was forced to start... he ran because he saw me...¡±


    He barely saw the third video.


    This should be a surveince video in the hospital. ¡°Oh my god, it¡¯s Zhao Mingjiang!¡± Chen Yuanxi¡¯s hands couldn¡¯t help shivering. At that time, Zhao Mingjiang was still alive and lying quietly in the hospital bed.


    Zhao Mingjiang was Zhao Yuan¡¯s father. ¡°Why does Mo Qian have this surveince?¡± Chen Yuanxi remembered that at that time, the provincial police could not find the monitoring record about the hospital ward no matter what they had done. It was the invisible treatment the felons could have when they were released on bail for medical service. Few people knew about it. It also meant that Mo Qian should have all of the videos which recorded Zhao Yuan¡¯s and Zheng Zihuan¡¯s care to Zhao Mingjiang!


    Chen Yuanxi sighed gently and looked at the surveince video carefully. Zhao Mingjiang was lying down quietly, knowing nothing. Maybe he was wondering when his illness would bepletely controlled, and when he would share the happiness with Zhao Yuan. Maybe he was still thinking about finding his missing wife.


    But it was toote. A masked man came in. Chen Yuanxi knew that this video recorded what had happened on thest night before Zhao Mingjiang¡¯s death.


    For some reason, Zheng Zihuan had fallen asleep.


    The door was opened.


    A pair of hands suddenly stretched out from the crack of the door. Then, a slingshot urately knocked down the red pipe, which had been loosened in advance.


    Then the hands were taken back, and the door was gently closed.


    But those hands were not Zhang Dong¡¯s! Zhang Dong was tall and big, and his hands were wide. But the evil hands were obviously bony...


    After a long time, Chen Yuanxi saw that the ward was opened again, and he saw that the one wearing a hat was Zhang Dong. Zhang Dong hesitated for a long time in the ward, and tested Zhao Mingjiang¡¯s breath and his pulse. Suddenly, he fell on his knees, and kowtowed three times to Zhao Mingjiang. After that, Zhang Dong checked the rm again, stood still for a while, connected the wire of the rm, bowed to Zhao Mingjiang again and left in a hurry.


    After a while, the rm went off, and the nurse on duty rushed in...


    Two lines of tears fell from Chen Yuanxi¡¯s eyes. To this man, he had nothing to say. All words were too pale at the moment. Chen Yuanxi choked and leaned against the wall, feeling cold all over. In his tears, he seemed to see the gold ring that Zhang Dong had brought to heaven. The ring was shining brightly in the light, which made his heart ache, numb and then painful.


    Zhang Dong had never left anything bearing memory for him. He never remembered anyone¡¯s birthday. He never remembered the special festival. He was more like a man outside the world full of worldly wisdom. He appeared in the world by chance and left soon...


    ¡°If he wanted to atone for the night in his junior high school for his whole life, there¡¯s no necessary. He has already redeemed it. In this life, he owes me nothing. I owe him.¡± Chen Yuanxiter cried to Gu Xi, losing self-control.


    ¡°Zhang Dong...¡± Chen Yuanxi did not know how many times he murmured Zhang Dong¡¯s name. It seemed that he had fallen asleep, but also seemed that he had not.


    ¡°Zhao Yuan needs to know all this. Mo Qian sent this to me before he died. I¡¯m afraid he didn¡¯t know that Zhang Dong had passed away. He wanted to clear Zhang Dong¡¯s name before he died.¡±


    ¡°But it¡¯s toote.¡±


    Chen Yuanxi did not know Zhao Yuan¡¯s residence in City G, but it was not difficult to ask the address and send it to him.


    But it seemed to be very painful to Shu Xiaoman who was answering the phone.


    ¡°What... do you want to do?¡± asked Shu Xiaoman. Then she coughed violently.


    ¡°Oh, I just want to know your address and send something to Zhao Yuan,¡± said Chen Yuanxi.


    ¡°Address... what are you going to do with it?¡± Shu Xiaoman asked nervously, then hung up.


    ¡°Fine, I won¡¯t send it. It¡¯s better to keep it by myself.¡±


    Within half an hour, Shu Xiaoman called back. She did not say too much, just crying. When she stopped crying, Chen Yuanxi asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    There was a long silence.


    Chen Yuanxi had no patience anymore. He went back to his residence and prepared to pack his things. Chen Yuanxi managed everything well and found that another long time had passed. At the end of midsummer, he went out with a big suitcase.


    He hailed a taxi and went to the airport in the small town.


    He walked into the airport and when he epted security check, he found that he had not booked any tickets.


    To live was like dreaming


    Mo Qian was dead and everything was over. He felt that it was time to find his mother, who seemed to be nearly sixty, and take her back to her hometown, so that she could live a peaceful life in old age. As for how to find her, he did not have any idea at all. He also wanted to find Yun Che and Zhu Ziping. But he also could not get in touch with the two people who had made him very peaceful on that night. When Hong Yan received their letter thest time, it was from Latin America.


    Chen Yuanxi thought for a long time and smiled miserably. The world was so big, but he had nowhere to go.


    Shu Xiaoman called him again.


    ¡°Please, Wenxi, pleasee and see me... okay? Wenxi!¡± shouted Shu Xiaoman.


    Chen Yuanxi could not help but move a little.
