    Chapter 50: Sin “Zhao Qian, you deserve your punishment.”

    A grand wrap-up party is being held on a luxurious cruise ship.

    With the theme of a ball, the eight people who were castaways on the deserted island for a few days have all changed into beautiful clothes and dressed up to attend, starting and ending with a banquet.

    That’s right, because of the live broadcast and Fu Yang’s intervention, the program recording had to end halfway through.

    Having escaped the fixed camera positions on the island, traditional photographers and PDs are now filming the live broadcast.

    Accompanied by relaxing music, the main banquet hall inside the cabin is the epitome of luxury.

    [Wow, so luxurious, so luxurious, so luxurious!]

    [Putting aside everything else, this show is really rich…]

    [The camera just showed the staff, all of them with dark faces]

    [The staff should be laughing that their work ended early, it’s the planners who should be crying]

    [Hilarious, all the segments for the following days have been cut. If it wasn’t live, they might have been able to re-record]

    [As someone who’s worked in planning, you have no idea how terrifying this is!! Stop laughing!!!]

    [It can only be said that the live broadcast made it and ruined it. Without the gimmick of a live broadcast, it wouldn’t have been so popular]

    [Actually, the production team underestimated the guests too much, they deserved it. And such a big variety show, they didn’t even have a plan b…a makeshift crew]

    [But it’s very real, finally feels like a real reality show, the sense of living people is too strong]

    [There are live cameras throughout, how dare they not be real]

    [It was so satisfying to watch yesterday, finding the place with only two out of five clues. Shangguan Yaoguang has been playing out a cool story since he awakened]

    [I’ve become a fan, ahhh, he’s so handsome]

    Zhang Shuang came to the stage with the camera equipment to host, and at this time she transformed into the hostess of the banquet.

    The program is over, but it seems like it hasn’t ended.

    After all, the wrap-up is also a very important part. Although many accidents happened in the middle, the program unexpectedly became a hit. Now the hot searches are almost monopolized, and Shangguan Yaoguang’s name has topped the list.

    But I don’t know what Zhao Qian is busy with, actually telling her to just do whatever she wants… It’s not easy being a working person.

    “The one who escaped from the deserted island in the end is Qing Sha, congratulations on becoming the winner of this season’s ‘Survival on a Deserted Island’, winning a grand prize of 100,000 yuan in cash, thanks to… sponsored by… and…” Zhang Shuang took the cue card and read out the sponsors in one breath, almost suffocating. Finally, she said loudly: “Thank you for the full support of Lu Group!”

    Lu Baoyu proudly raised the corners of his mouth. Although the final result was not quite what he had imagined, he had mocking points and highlights in the show. Black and red is still red. After getting his phone back, his manager praised him fiercely. Young Master Lu’s tail is now almost up to the sky.

    Qing Sha, however, waved her hands repeatedly and retreated behind Xu Chengyue. Had she known, she shouldn’t have been so impulsive and pressed that button. But she unexpectedly got the funds that she initially used as an excuse. Therefore, the happiest person was Professor Wang, who wasn’t there. He sent ten voice messages in a row, telling her not to go back yet, and to buy a carload of fruit to visit her little junior brother who was about to die.

    Coincidentally heard, Little Junior Brother Fu Yang:?

    “That’s right, finding the signal station in the end was also inseparable from Shangguan’s help. Shangguan shined brightly in the program, so amazing!”

    “Next is the ball, everyone, have a good time and party!”

    At this time, everyone had gotten their phones back. Xu Chengyue opened the hot search and anxiously refreshed it everywhere.

    “Want to dance?” Fu Yang suddenly walked up to him, his handsome face making people ignore his awkward walking, inviting him seemingly seriously, but actually his palms were sweating and he almost tripped over his own two feet.

    Xu Chengyue turned off his phone and raised his head to see that everyone in the middle of the stage had already gone up and started dancing to the music, and then he revealed a smile: “Okay.”

    Then he stretched out his hand to him.

    Fu Yang’s eyebrows twitched violently, and he suddenly realized something, and hesitated:

    “Am I dancing the female part?”

    Xu Chengyue blinked – or what?

    Fu Yang: …Alright then.

    “Don’t you want to dance this position?”

    Accompanied by the music, a handshake and turn, Xu Chengyue saw some reluctance in his face, and tentatively asked.

    Did he misunderstand?

    Actually, Xu Chengyue doesn’t know much about same-sex partners. It was Qing Sha who occasionally reads comics in this regard, and she said that it seems that they have to be in a certain position, although it’s not absolute…

    Fu Yang also considered this point, and asked a little anxiously: “What about you?”

    Xu Chengyue thought for a while and said: “I’m fine with either.”

    What does “fine with either” mean?

    Xu Chengyue wants to be the 1?

    They bumped?

    No way… He finally convinced himself that he was gay, does he have to convince himself to be a 0 now?!

    Love is equal, Fu Yang took a deep breath and gritted his teeth: “Then… I’m fine with either!”

    Accompanied by the cheerful waltz, after the dance, both of them were thoughtful, and Fu Yang suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

    Damn, he didn’t really bump numbers with Xu Chengyue, did he.

    Xu Chengyue is gentle, stable, and older, it seems that he is more suitable to be a husband than him.

    But…

    He can’t do it! Isn’t a submissive that is 1.9 meters tall very strange?!

    Fu Yang’s Dao heart shattered, and he couldn’t help but recite a poem—

    Before the mission is accomplished, I die first, my eyes are full of tears when a long spear is against a sniper rifle.

    As soon as Xu Chengyue raised his eyes, he saw him looking like he had lost the will to live, and said nervously: “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”

    “I’m fine… I’m very fine… I’m going to be quiet for a while…” Fu Yang walked towards the outer deck in a daze.

    Xu Chengyue was just about to follow when a push notification from the special follow on his phone’s Weibo sounded.

    He quickly picked up his phone, and sure enough, he guessed right, there were already large-scale entries on the tail of the hot search that were smearing him—

    #Xu Chengyue will be sued for not supporting his parents

    #Xu Chengyue violent maniac

    #Xu Chengyue assault incident review

    #Xu Chengyue persona

    The barrage of the program’s wrap-up live broadcast has also been invaded and polluted by water armies.

    [Big news!!!]

    [I came from the hot search, I’ve heard a long time ago that Xu Chengyue is a fake, still pretending to be dancing when disaster is imminent]

    [I said before, this person is used to creating a persona, he’s just a green tea hypocritical smiling tiger]

    […Brother, please tell us it’s fake…]

    [The evidence is conclusive, his father is holding his ID card to report him in his real name, I see who dares to support him! An unfilial, conscienceless thing!]

    [I believe that Chengyue elder brotheris not this kind of person, what if there’s a reversal, be careful of getting slapped in the face]

    [The person in front, leave a contact information, I’ll sell you health products when you’re old]

    [Don’t wait until you’re old, can you take back the Xu Chengyue small card I bought at a high price now, sell it cheap]

    [Xu Chengyue is just an unscrupulous hypocrite super-male violent maniac, how many times have I reminded you, you kissed him just because of his face, you deserve to be Sister Ainan]

    [It feels so good that the person I hate is finally discovered by everyone]

    Xu Chengyue’s expression did not change as he looked at the foul language on the screen.

    Zhao Qian wants to force him to beg him, then he will… do as he wishes.

    He beckoned to Qing Sha, who was happily dancing in her own world, and instructed:

    “In one hour.”

    Qing Sha raised her head and looked at the clock in the banquet hall and nodded: “Understood.”

    “Let’s go together.” She was still a little worried.

    Xu Chengyue was a little surprised and looked at Qing Sha with eyes full of gratification, as if he were an old father watching his child finally grow up and become sensible.

    Qing Sha: “…” How unreliable was she before?

    “No need.” Although Xu Chengyue was moved, he decisively refused, then shifted his gaze and fixed it on Fu Yang, who was being dragged away by Hao Yun to play games, his eyes softened, “Help me keep an eye on him.”

    After looking back and forth between the two of them, Qing Sha suddenly understood something, “I thought you would grow old alone.”

    “Why?”

    Qing Sha also found it difficult to describe what kind of feeling this was, probably feeling that Xu Chengyue didn’t seem to be contaminated by worldly matters, “You look like you’re asexual.”

    Xu Chengyue: “…”

    Xu Chengyue told the staff he was leaving, and took another boat to go ashore in advance while Fu Yang was not paying attention.

    As soon as he landed, the first person to contact him was Li An, who called one after another.

    “Chengyue, what’s going on with the hot search? What’s wrong with your dad again…”

    As soon as he answered the phone, the sharp voice on the other end sounded, her words full of anxiety and concern.

    “Sister An, it’s okay, I’ll handle it,” Xu Chengyue said.

    “Then I’ll let public relations…”

    “No need.” Xu Chengyue’s eyes, which were always as gentle as water, turned slightly cold, “Let this fire burn even brighter.”

    He hung up the phone and went to the top floor.

    Pushing open the door, he saw a familiar face. White Group is a new boy group that came out of a recent talent show, and they have won many resources as if by divine help as soon as they debuted.

    At this time, the main dancer Yue Le of the boy group was lying on Zhao Qian’s lap, appearing weak and boneless.

    Zhao Qian patted his butt, and Yue Le acted coquettishly before getting up, then looked Xu Chengyue up and down as if he had just seen him, his eyes were not friendly, “Brother Qian, where did you find this little fairy? Am I not serving you hard enough, do you have a new love?”

    “You don’t recognize him?” Zhao Qian smiled and raised his chin, “This is your senior, go, say hello to your senior.”

    Now that Desert Island Signal Station is being broadcasted, Yue Le definitely couldn’t not recognize Xu Chengyue, but he just wanted to give him a hard time.

    “So it’s senior, I thought he was a newbie like me, sorry senior.”

    Yue Le patted his collar, then reached into his tuxedo pocket. The so-called greeting was actually a body search.

    Xu Chengyue politely turned his body: “I’ll do it myself.”

    Xu Chengyue put his phone, watch, and various electronic products on the tray next to him.

    “What is this? You even dare to bring a recorder.” Yue Le took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, “Brother Qian, this senior is not honest.”

    He carefully checked again, even repeatedly measured with a handheld metal detector several times before confirming: “There’s nothing left, Brother Qian.”

    Seeing Zhao Qian nodded, he acted like a magnanimous first wife, “Sorry, you can’t bring these things to get close to Brother Qian.”

    Saying that, he provocatively showed off his brand-name watch.

    As if to say—

    But I can.

    But Xu Chengyue had no reaction to this, and instead sincerely said: “Very beautiful watch, like your stage, the solo on the night of the group’s formation was very good.”

    Being praised so much, Yue Le didn’t know what to do, and his cheeks flushed red.

    After entering the entertainment industry, he realized that this circle is not as glamorous as it seems on the surface. The stage he painstakingly prepared would not be seen without the help of capital. Zhao Qian saved him when he was being suppressed and ridiculed, he helped him vent his anger, gave him a stage, and brought him into another world with power. The just-adult he was quickly fascinated by these glitz and glamour, and fell into the abyss again and again.

    He even almost forgot his original intention of entering the entertainment industry, the stage.

    “Little Le, close the door.”

    Yue Le woke up like a dream, paused, and finally obediently took the tray and went out.

    “You can’t save him, just like you couldn’t save Ye Xiao back then.” Zhao Qian lit a cigarette and picked up a fruit candy from the table, “People, once they’ve tasted the sweetness, won’t like to suffer.”

    “Poisonous candy, even if it’s sweet, no one will like to eat it. It’s you who tricked them by disguising arsenic as candy,” Xu Chengyue said clearly.

    “How can you say I tricked them? I just put the candy in front of them, it’s up to them to decide whether to eat it or not. As for the consequences, of course, they have to bear them themselves.” Zhao Qian exhaled a smoke ring, “Ah Yue, I said you would come back and beg me.”

    “Disguising arsenic as candy is my kindness.” Zhao Qian tore open the packaging of the fruit candy and thoughtfully handed it to Xu Chengyue’s lips, “Now that my patience is running out, even if I feed the arsenic to your mouth, you still have to eat it, so why bother?”

    Xu Chengyue turned his head to avoid it, “Since you don’t lack people around you, why must it be me?”

    He knew that Zhao Qian was interested in him, but he didn’t expect that he could sacrifice an entire program, circuitously just to make him beg for mercy, it was really bad taste.

    Most men are very cheap species, because they have been rejected many times and their confidence has been hit, so they must want to get it, even if it means unscrupulous means, willfulness, greed, and arrogance are their weaknesses.

    “Of course, I open my arms, and there are people who throw themselves into my arms.” Zhao Qian showed the arrogance that he had always hidden well.

    “But there is only one Xu Chengyue, no matter how similar he looks, it’s not you.” He used both soft and hard tactics, and at this time he made another appearance of being deeply in love.

    Xu Chengyue didn’t look at his performance at all, and said sternly: “If the condition is to be your lover, I can’t agree, please respect yourself, Director Zhao.”

    “I never force anyone, you are the first.” Zhao Qian was not surprised, but even more excited with challenge, “Did you see the hot search?”

    “My parents divorced when I was fifteen years old, my father was a gambler and heavily in debt, he abandoned me and ran away. I paid a total of 150,000 yuan of debt for him. He owes me. He committed a crime. It’s already benevolent and righteous that I didn’t sue him. If you hadn’t fueled him behind the scenes and given him the confidence, how would he dare to sue me? He can’t wait to hide when he sees me.” Xu Chengyue spoke clearly and logically, not falling into his trap at all, calmly and composedly,

    “I have witnesses and material evidence, clarification is only a matter of time, justice is in the hearts of the people, no matter how much you stir up the muddy water, black will not turn white.”

    Zhao Qian clapped and laughed: “What a justice is in the hearts of the people, but Ah Yue, people’s hearts are changeable, people’s hearts are the easiest to control, I want them to believe what, they will believe what. Haven’t you experienced enough the lesson of a year ago, I can easily make you be scolded by thousands of people, what justice, what law, what evidence, a pile of dog shit! You’ve been in the industry for so many years, why are you still so naive, can’t be taught?”

    “A year ago, it’s true that I injured you to save Ye Xiao,” Xu Chengyue paused, then firmly raised his eyes, “But I didn’t do anything wrong.”

    “You should be beaten.”

    “You sit in this position now, in the entertainment industry, how many fledgling newcomers have you seduced? You believe that they have unspeakable secrets, you believe that they don’t dare to make things big, even if they are broken, they have to swallow it in their stomachs, what do you mean by not forcing them, you use the malice from all directions to force them to walk into your trap!”

    Zhao Qian: “It’s just an exchange of benefits, if you want to get something, of course, you have to pay, you can’t just get something for nothing.”

    “I have resources, they have young bodies and looks, we are just mutually beneficial, Ah Yue, your sense of morality is too strong, there’s actually nothing, it’s just a form of entertainment.”

    “Like Ah Xiao pretending to be a victim in front of you, it was clearly him who first proposed to follow me.”

    Xu Chengyue raised his eyes in surprise, not expecting that Ye Xiao had lied to him again, and had been using his guilt to do whatever he wanted all these years.

    “It’s clearly a matter of mutual consent, Ah Yue, you always like to raise it to a certain height, they want my resources, but I’m not doing charity, can I just give it to him for nothing?”

    “But Ah Xiao did both things, agreed but then regretted it, that’s why he caused a series of things later.”

    Zhao Qian passed down a verdict from a high position: “Too ambitious, can’t be fed enough.”

    “I’ll just assume that you are willing.” Xu Chengyue lowered his eyes and tidied his clothes, “A year ago, I pushed open the door of the reception room, what exactly were you doing, do you really think I don’t dare to say.”

    Zhao Qian’s expression suddenly changed: “What did you see, some things you have to rot in your stomach even if you know, otherwise… even I can’t protect you…”

    Xu Chengyue said softly: “Taking drugs.”

    “You are taking drugs,” he said.

    He didn’t see it clearly back then, he was just suspicious, but seeing Zhao Qian’s reaction now, he was 90% sure in his heart.

    “Shut up.” Zhao Qian’s eyes were terrifyingly cold, “Do you still want to walk out of this door alive?”

    Xu Chengyue was upright and awe-inspiring, “I can die, but you, these tumors, will go to hell with me.”

    “Okay, I didn’t expect that I, Zhao Qian, would provoke a savior who puts life and death aside.” Zhao Qian shook his head, changed the topic, and said: “Then what about Shangguan Yaoguang? Don’t you care about him either?”

    “You want to hurt him.”

    Seeing that the person who had always been calm finally showed a trace of panic, Zhao Qian said with satisfaction: “He’s dying.”

    “What do you mean, explain clearly!” Xu Chengyue grabbed his collar.

    “At this point in time, he should have sunk into the azure and beautiful sea.” Zhao Qian stood in front of the French window, admiring the sea view, and laughed arrogantly.

    “Don’t think I don’t know how you won. I thought you were so great, but in the end, you went to hug Zhao Qian’s thigh like me,” Ye Xiao said disdainfully.

    Fu Yang looked confused: “I…hug Zhao Qian’s thigh?”

    “I know you’re a bad person, but I didn’t expect you to be so bad. I was really blind before.” Fu Yang said speechlessly, “Don’t think that others are as dirty as you just because you are dirty yourself.”

    The cabin was still playing games and partying, Ye Xiao avoided the cameras and called Fu Yang out.

    Now the two of them are on the viewing deck at the bow of the ship, leaning against the railing talking.

    “You didn’t?” Ye Xiao sneered, “Then how did you answer those questions correctly, would you know? I underestimated you, Shangguan Yaoguang, actually being able to make Zhao Qian, who is so scheming, tell you the location of the final signal station, you have some tricks.”

    Fu Yang: “…Does admitting that I’m great hurt your self-esteem?”

    “Still pretending, you can’t possibly not have cheated. Unless…you’re not Shangguan Yaoguang at all.” Ye Xiao looked at the person in front of him who was completely different from before, and felt that he was really driven mad, how is that possible.

    “Maybe.” Fu Yang basked in the sun and stretched, “Maybe I really am not.”

    “You still dare to play tricks!” Ye Xiao punched him like he used to, but unlike the usual coward who knelt down and begged for mercy, the person in front of him easily caught his fist.

    “Crawling in bed too much, you’re quite weak.” Fu Yang smiled sarcastically, twisted the hand he was holding severely, heard a “click” sound, and threw it away with disgust.

    “Ah!” Ye Xiao stared at him viciously, when did he become so strong.

    “Alright, let’s get down to business, I don’t want to exchange pleasantries with you.”

    “You can take the resources that I spit out and don’t want.” Ye Xiao was a little wary and moved away, “But you’re not allowed to approach Xu Chengyue again. If you want to follow Zhao Qian, you can, but Xu Chengyue belongs to me from now on.”

    “Xu Chengyue is not yours, nor is he mine, Xu Chengyue is Xu Chengyue.” Fu Yang felt that it was really difficult to talk to his former idol, “He belongs to himself, not a tool for exchange like goods in your mouth, you don’t have the qualifications.”

    “He’s mine, he’s mine! We’ve been through so many years together, I know him best, it’s just a matter of time, he will forgive me, he will fall in love with me, we will be together forever.”

    “Are you sick?” Fu Yang said even more disgusted.

    “I’m sick, don’t you have it? You’re even more disgusting than me, at least I dare to say and do, where are you nobler than me, you trash cockroach, a cockroach that only dares to peep in the corner!”

    Fu Yang was scolded for a while, and then suddenly realized, damn, is Xu Chengyue RMB? Why does everyone covet him?

    Young Master Fu suppressed the annoyance in his heart, his mood was not good, and he spoke more impolitely, “This world doesn’t revolve around you, face reality, Ye Xiao, he doesn’t like you, you’re not even worthy to like him. He saved you back then, just saving a snake in the grass.”

    “Shut up!”

    “You are now Zhao Qian’s abandoned pawn, vowing to take advantage of this program to become popular again, but unexpectedly he prepared a stepping stone for Young Master Lu, you are now being scolded by netizens and fans, you can’t turn over.”

    “Shut up!!”

    “You keep saying that you like Xu Chengyue, but because you can’t get his love, you use such low-handed methods as drugging him, it’s already benevolent and righteous that he didn’t make the recording public, the two of you have long since broken off all relations, he hates you, disgusts you, can’t wait to never have met you.”

    “Shut up! Shut up!”

    “Ye Xiao, what are you yelling at me for, it’s all your own fault now, of course, you have to bear the consequences yourself. Your career is collapsing, your love is shattered. Everything you care about is leaving you, you deserve it.”

    “No, no… it’s all because of you, it’s all because of you, you made me lose everything, it’s all your fault!”

    Ye Xiao suddenly grabbed his neck, Fu Yang didn’t dodge in time, and was pressed against the railing by him, his body sticking out more than half.

    “You want to kill me?”

    Ye Xiao did not deny, “It’s all you who are hurting me! If you hadn’t appeared, I wouldn’t have fallen into today’s situation, go to hell!”

    Top floor of the hotel

    Zhao Qian calmly looked at the beautiful young man whose eyes were stained with anger.

    The two people’s moods suddenly reversed.

    When Zhao Qian uses a person, he always calculates without fail, sucking the marrow and drinking the blood.

    It would be a waste to only use Ye Xiao as a comparison group for Lu Baoyu, he also wanted Ye Xiao to take away Shangguan Yaoguang, killing two birds with one stone.

    He knew Ye Xiao too well, seemingly tolerant and intelligent, but actually impulsive and arrogant, those little thoughts of his were just like decorations in his eyes, he could guess them easily.

    “How about it, if you beg me now, I’ll send someone to search for him, maybe there will still be a glimmer of hope.”

    Of course not.

    All the people who were blocking the way have disappeared, now, Xu Chengyue has completely fallen into his hands to be tortured at will.

    Zhao Qian hooked up a triumphant smile.

    “Of course he has a chance of survival, but you don’t.”

    Xu Chengyue calmed down and took off the second button on his clothes. This was a miniature camera invented by Qing Sha with special materials, which could avoid the detector and was made into the shape of a button. The sophistication was enough to be mistaken for the real thing. This was what he had Qing Sha prepare before coming to the program. After finding the signal station, he connected the port and turned it on, it would synchronize with the live broadcast room.

    “Director Zhao, the program you are making is playing the testimony just now in sync.”

    “□□ young men and women.”

    “Taking drugs in crowds.”

    “Suspected of plotting murder.”

    “Zhao Qian, you deserve your punishment.”

    Note
