On the car ride, Zhou Yun Sheng covered his face, then burst into silent laughter. He had to say, three hundred thousand, whether you thought it was a lot or chump change, taking out a bundle of bills and smashing it in someoneās face was a really cool feeling. Especially, Ji Han Yuās grief-stricken and regretful expression, it was the best entertainment.
Lin Chengze was made into a bitch, so Zhou Yun Sheng helped him avoid the pitfalls and elevated his status to a chaste height at the same time. Now, not only could Ji Han Yu never stay peacefully together with Fang Youran, he would never be able to forget him in his lifetime. When he inevitably faced the darkest sides of the world, he will recall the past and feel that only Lin Chengzeās love and dedication was the most selfless and precious love heād ever received.
From now on, Lin Chengze will be his pure white moonlight, the sweetness in his heart, whenever he thought of what he did for him heād wince in pain. Whatās a reversal? This was the most thorough reversal.
Cao Mo Kun saw him clutching his face, shoulders trembling, and thought he was crying. He helplessly pulled him into his arms, and slowly said, āBaby donāt cry, that type of person is not worth your tears.ā
Zhou Yun Sheng froze, but he didnāt say anything.
Cao Mo Kun continued, āBaby, youāre not my pet, and really, Iām not an old man, Iām not even thirty yet.ā
Zhou Yun Sheng looked up at him, a few drops of tears were hanging on his eyelashes, freshly squeezed out.
Cao Mo Kun was a bit nervous at what he was going to say next, he wanted to take out a cigarette, but he knew that he hated the smell and held back, he continued, āBaby, that transactionā¦is void, we can start again, and have a healthy, equal and happy relationship, what do you think?ā
Zhou Yun Sheng stared at him for a long while, then he buried his face in his arms and muffled, āI donāt think thatād work. Everybody knows you only keep people for three months, even your own nephew couldnāt stay, how could I have the confidence to be with you? I just want to study hard right now, get into a good university, and find a safe and stable job.
Cao Mo Kun knew that his heart was hurt by Ji Han Yu, at this time, he couldnāt trust anyone. He pushed his hair back, helpless, and sighed. āHow about we start as friends? So, you can see how long I hold on. We didnāt have a good start, but we can have a good future.ā
Zhou Yun Sheng was silent for a moment, finally, he nodded his head, then he quickly added, āThen you have to give my ad paycheck back to me first.ā His financial situation was still in the pits, he was basically penniless.
Cao Mo Kun was relieved, he couldnāt help but laugh, he promised, then kissed the top of his soft hair.
āāāāā
Ji Han Yu squatted in front of Caoās door for more than a month, he didnāt even leave during the New Year, he finally blocked off Zhou Yun Sheng when he came back with Cao Mo Kun after the holidays.
āBaby, go in first, Iāll talk to him.ā Cao Mo Kun didnāt like the way Ji Han Yu looked at his lover with hot eyes.
Zhou Yun Sheng nodded, and only slightly glanced at Ji Han Yu as he walked past.
Ji Han Yu wanted to chase after him, but he was frozen by his uncleās cold eyes.
āSit down, how are you doing with your little boyfriend lately?ā
āIām not with him.ā
āWhy? Didnāt you say you loved him?ā Cao Mo Kun mocked some shock.
After what happened, how could he feel comfortable together with Fang Youran? As long as he looked at him, he would immediately think of the fresh, scattered, red paper bills. He thought of Lin Chengzeās red eyes, his desperate, sad eyes. That scene repeatedly tortured Ji Han Yu and kept him awake all night.
His face slumped, he took a check out from his pocket, āUncle, hereās one million, please let Lin Ze go.ā
Cao Mo Kun smiled, then sighed, āHan Yu, you are so naĆÆve. You thought you could buy him back? Besides, I donāt need this type of money. To tell you the truth, buying your love with 300,000, is the most successful investment Iāve ever made in my life. Every time I think about it, I want to pop open a bottle of champagne and celebrate.ā
The manās face, filled with happiness and pleasure, deeply stabbed into Ji Han Yu, but he was helpless. He stood still for a long time, then put away his check, and left Caoās front step.
āāāāāā-
The new semester began, and it brought with it a huge sensational scandal. A group of rich second generations were captured in immoral positions and the photos were posted on the forums. The scale was huge, the scene was kinky, condoms, liquor bottle, and drugs were littering the floor.
At this time, the election was at a critical point, the Department of Justice paid great attention to the photographs and quickly investigated. Zhou Yun Sheng had already hacked into the clubās monitoring system and erased his and Cao Mo Kunās figures, so this didnāt affect them.
Wang Jie was called away from the classroom, the charges were drug abuse and drug trafficking, the students had a hot new gossip.
Ji Han Yu also looked at the photos, he thought of how Lin Chengze wouldāve also been forced into that pile of bodies if his uncle hadnāt gotten there in time. His whole body broke out in a layer of cold sweat. Now, he really couldnāt remember why heād chosen to use such a vicious method to destroy Lin Chengze.
It was a bout of insanity!
He imagined Lin Chengze looking at him with mocking eyes, and his heart once again grew cold with regret. He finally worked up the courage to go into the classroom, hoping to apologize to Lin Chengze, but found his seat empty. He waited through the next few classes but he never appeared. After school, he asked around and found out that heād applied to study abroad, the procedures were filed a few days ago.
Did he intend to never see him again? He stared up at the gray sky. Ji Han Yu finally understood the feeling of despair.
āāāāāā-
Five years later, C country, a five-star hotel.
Ji Han Yu, who had become a nouveau riche businessman, walked into the hall with his secretary, they greeted the banquet organizers. At 22 years, heād grown into his height, he was 188 cm with a body like a magazine cover model, his baby fat had receded to reveal a more mature and handsome face.
He stood there with a glass of champagne, his melancholy eyes could make people feel intoxicated.
āIs my tie crooked?ā He whispered to his secretary, he frequently glanced at the door.
āNo, you are so handsome, I have the most handsome boss!ā The secretaryās flattery skill was very strong, but it didnāt faze Ji Han Yu.
He looked at the door again and stared, his face slowly grew gloomy.
āIām going over there.ā He dropped his glass and strode over, pulling a waiter who was carrying a tray into the corner.
āWhy are you here? What do you want to do?ā He asked through his teeth.
āI, I heard that Lin Ze would come, I want to meet him and apologize to him. I want him to forgive me.ā Fang Youranās eyes glowed red, he looked very pitiful.
But Ji Han Yu was not touched by his sad look, he fiercely scolded āHe doesnāt need your apology, youāll just make him think of those unbearable memories. Donāt disturb him, okay? Donāt bother me either, I beg you!ā
āIf Iād make him think of bad memories, then how about you? Whatās your image in his mind? You were the one who started that disaster!ā Fang Yu was unwilling to give up.
Ji Han Yu didnāt reply, he slowly let go of his collar and left, his face ashen.
āBoss, are you alright?ā The secretary worriedly held his arm, she was about to persuade him to go rest in the suite when she heard a loud clamoring behind her, she looked back when someone said, āAh, Cao and Lin Chengze came.ā
The secretary was not interested in Cao, but she was a fan of Lin Chengze, she immediately forgot about her bossā troubles and craned her neck to look over the crowd, she fangirled, āAh, itās Lin Chengze! Top male model Lin Chengze ah, my god!ā
The organizers gathered to scatter the crowd, revealing a young, handsome, extraordinary face. He and the taller men had the same style of suit and wore matching rings and watches, they looked at each other with such tenderness, it was difficult for others to intrude.
The secretary grabbed her heart, she gushed to her boss, āBoss, do you remember Lin Chengzeās debut ad? It was for that popular Extravagant perfume ah! God, that manās beauty is simply unfair! After that ad broadcasted, Extravagant has always been out of stock, I regret not grabbing one when I had the chance!ā
Remember it? How couldnāt he remember it? The reason he shot that ad was to help me. Ji Han Yu exposed a lost expression. Although the ad couldnāt broadcast locally, it had caused a market vibration in Europe and the U.S. Its popularity inevitably affected C country. Ever since Ji Han Yu saw it online, heād have sleepless nights until he re-watches it, as if the only way he could sleep was with the man in his line of sight.
Lin Chengze hated green peppers in his food, the way he drank his milk caused him to always get a milk mustache, when he got home heād always casually throw his shoes into a corner, heād bite a pen whenever he was lost in his thoughtsā¦ ā¦ During the last two months they spent together, heād thought heād lost interest in Lin Chengze, but in reality, he had been deeply attracted to the boy, his every subtle expression and behavior was engraved in his heart.
Heād thought he didnāt care, so even thinking about him had brought contempt, but now his feelings were clear, but his regret could never be fixed. After losing him, he finally realized how lovely and ingenious the boy had been. If heād cherished him when heād had the chance, how happy could theyāve been by now?
While Ji Han Yu was caught up in his regretful memories, his secretaryās next words put the final nail in his heart.
āGod, not only is his outside impeccable, even his heart is good. When Cao had a car accident and the doctors thought he would never walk again, he actually came out of the closet to the media and said heād take care of Cao for the rest of his life, how romantic! I remember when Cao went on that one show, the host asked him how he got the courage to stand up again, and Cao said heād accidentally seen his number in his loverās phone, his contact was under āImmortal Loverā. He said he was so moved, he cheered up and did his best. I cried sooo hard at that. In such a difficult situation, Lin Ze never abandoned him, Cao is way too lucky to have him. Boss, donāt you think so?ā
The secretary swooned and glanced at her boss, but was shocked to see his flushed eyes, filled with faint tears.
āI need the bathroom.ā Ji Han Yu hurriedly left the hall to find an empty room, and cried his heart out. He finally knew the sincere and warm feelings heād thrown away. The happiness was at his fingertips, but heād mercilessly discarded it. From now on, no one would be able to compare to the love that boy had given him.
He was deeply regretful, but it was impossible to fix the past.
