AHFAFTGTTT Chapter 74

Chapter 74: Desire “Xu Chengyue, choose me.”

Chapter 74: Desire “Xu Chengyue, choose me.”

The lounge was dark, the windows not fully closed, the white Garnish swaying in the night breeze, draped over the two figures on the red leather sofa by the window.

The stark contrast of red and white felt like stepping into a movie scene.

Xu Chengyue was almost completely engulfed in the shadow of the person before him, his lips invaded by a temperature that didn’t belong to him.

He tried to push away with his mobile right hand, but the other’s other hand grabbed it, raising it high.

The man’s palm was large, using only one hand to pin both of his wrists above his head, the other hand pressing against the back of his neck, his breath mingling with his between his lips, a mixture of confusion.

He could feel that the other’s kissing skills were not practiced, that he had impulsively leaned in, but didn’t know what to do.

Just a clumsy rubbing of lips, Xu Chengyue struggled to turn his head away, the next kiss landing on his cheek.

“He can, but I can’t?”

At the silent resistance of the person beneath him, Fu Yang’s eyes were bloodshot, his words squeezed from his throat, a storm brewing beneath a forced calm.

“What nonsense…” Xu Chengyue gasped, before he could finish, his chin was forcefully pinched, and an even more turbulent kiss swept over him, even taking advantage of his opening mouth to invade his teeth, madly plundering his oral cavity, like a crazed wolf guarding its territory.

Xu Chengyue’s waist arched back, struggling to escape, but he was relentlessly pursued, Fu Yang chasing the kiss to the armrest of the sofa, pinching his waist to prevent him from falling, refusing to let go.

The mingling of lips and teeth, the sound of water in the room embarrassingly intimate.

A passionate kiss, without the slightest concealment, swallowing Xu Chengyue’s lips with violent intensity, almost devouring him whole.

A sense of suffocation swept over him, the continuous lack of oxygen making Xu Chengyue’s head spin, like a dying fish on the beach, struggling to breathe.

The kiss was long, seemingly endless, and finally, after a long time, the person before him released him.

“Xu Chengyue, choose me.” Fu Yang’s jealousy had vanished, and regaining his reason, his face flushed to the roots of his neck, he backed away, looking at the beautiful youth beneath him with misty eyes, blankly gasping for breath, and couldn’t help but kiss the small mole between his eyebrows.

A “Bo” sound echoed in the lounge.

“I will treat you better than anyone else.” Fu Yang released his wrist, only to realize that the fair skin was already congested and purplish, the ambiguous marks obvious to anyone.

The promise he had just made felt particularly ironic, and Fu Yang instantly became nervous, hugging him wanting to rub away the bruises.

Xu Chengyue abruptly pushed him away, his senses finally returning after the lack of oxygen, gasping, “You… you’re crazy!”

Caught off guard, Fu Yang was pushed to the ground, looking up at him from that position, the flavor of insubordination even stronger.

He paused before speaking, “Yes, I’m crazy, I’m being driven crazy by you! I’m terrified every day, afraid of making a mistake, afraid of displeasing you, afraid you’ll hate me, but you still choose Shangguan Yaoguang!”

“What about me? You haven’t given me an answer to my confession.”

Having just done something outrageous, Fu Yang felt extremely wronged, looking at Xu Chengyue as if he were a heartless man.

Xu Chengyue supported himself to get up, his wrist hurt, and he was so angry that his vision went black, wanting to say something but couldn’t bear to.

Fu Yang still didn’t get an answer, only saw the lounge door being pushed open with force, the shaking door, the light from the corridor shining in, the shadows flickering.

The person who was going to give him an answer, his back disappearing.

–

Xu Chengyue received Xiao Yang’s call and rushed to the hospital without stopping.

“It’s nothing serious, just a skin injury, but Brother Guang has been busy lately, and the doctor said he’s too tired, so he’s getting a drip of glucose and some sleeping medication.”

Seeing Shangguan Yaoguang sleeping in the VIP ward, Xu Chengyue looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face, a little more scrutiny in his eyes.

“Brother Xu, I’ll drive you back first.” Xiao Yang, behind him, looked at his red lips, opening his mouth hesitantly, muttering to himself, the entertainment circle is really messy.

Xu Chengyue: “No need, you stay here and take care of him, I’ll go for a walk.”

The corridor of the hospital’s inpatient department was empty and silent, a little eerie in the late night, looking at the bright moon by the window, Xu Chengyue sorted out the thoughts in his head.

Fu Yang didn’t like Qu Xue, he liked him.

That first stage wasn’t watched for Qu Xue, but for him.

Fu Yang participated in the audition show for him.

But they clearly didn’t know each other before.

When did Fu Yang say he liked him, and why did he ask him for an answer?

In his memory, Fu Yang hadn’t said it, the person who had said he liked him was—

Xu Chengyue looked towards the ward, it was Shangguan.

Clearly the gaze at that time was so sincere, but afterwards he didn’t admit it.

All sorts of doubts in Xu Chengyue’s mind vaguely connected into a line, and then crossed out.

This is not scientific.

Xu Chengyue felt that his mind was too confused right now, almost bewitched, and felt that Shangguan at that time was actually Fu Yang.

Xu Chengyue, ah, Xu Chengyue, what a comfortable excuse you’ve found for your change of heart, how could you…

“Teacher Xu?”

A cheerful voice came from behind, “Why are you shivering?”

Xu Chengyue adjusted his expression and turned around, a little surprised, he didn’t expect to meet Zhao Anqing here.

“It really is you!” Zhao Anqing said excitedly.

“Teacher Zhao, are you… sick?” Xu Chengyue looked at him, his face pale, as if he hadn’t slept for three days and three nights.

“No, I’m fine, a colleague collapsed, thanks to my quick eyes and hands for sending him to the hospital, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda.” Zhao Anqing made an Amitabha gesture, already admitting that he was a hardworking ox, but fortunately, his ox body was still in good shape, “He’s fine too, don’t worry.”

Xu Chengyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Anqing: “Teacher Xu must be busy lately too, program recording is like this, once you get busy, you don’t know day or night, you have to pay attention to your health.”

“Program?” Xu Chengyue knew that this hospital was the closest to the program’s recording center, a little surprised, “Are you also at Edge Era now?”

Zhao Anqing smiled, “Teacher Xu, do you have anything else to do later? Let’s find a place to sit down and chat.”

He made a gesture of drinking soju like in a Korean drama.

Xu Chengyue would forget things after drinking, originally wanting to refuse, but after the terrible thought just now, he felt that it was better to forget, so he accepted the invitation and was led by Zhao Anqing into a bar with strong privacy.

The two sat down in a corner.

Zhao Anqing opened a bottle of wine: “Yeah, I also participated in the Edge Era project, but this time I’m too behind the scenes, almost like an assistant, so you might not have seen me.”

Xu Chengyue: “You’ve worked hard.”

Zhao Anqing chuckled: “I’m not tired, this job is the least tiring I’ve ever done, after all, I can see the person I like when I look up, my heart is thumping and I’m full of smiles~”

Xu Chengyue suddenly remembered Zhao Anqing’s unusual attitude towards Shangguan Yaoguang before, “You’re referring to Shangguan, right?”

Zhao Anqing paused, scratching his head embarrassedly, “Hey, that was a long time ago, I liked him for a while, but my white moonlight is back, I still like Fu Yang more, hehe.”

“Huh?” Xu Chengyue’s hand holding the wine glass paused.

“And the current Teacher Shangguan… I find him quite unfamiliar,”

Zhao Anqing had been suppressed by work for too long, a little tipsy after three rounds of wine, pouring out everything, “Didn’t I say before that Teacher Shangguan looks a lot like someone I know, that person is Fu Yang, I’ve known him for many years, let me tell you, the first time I saw him was in the autumn…”

After telling almost an hour of unrequited love history, Xu Chengyue didn’t drink a drop, Zhao Anqing was already drunk, wanting to drink more, Xu Chengyue held his hand, snatched the wine bottle.

Zhao Anqing hugged the bottle, refusing to let go: “Yuè Yuè, you say hic… Should I confess?”

Xu Chengyue was silent for a moment, knowing that Fu Yang liked him, such a question was really tricky.

“Follow your heart.”

After giving his advice, Xu Chengyue took a sip of his wine glass, the taste a little bitter.

…

At the other end of the same bar.

“I really like Xu Chengyue…” Fu Yang hugged a wine bottle, sitting on the bar, repeating the same sentence.

The bar lights flickered, even late at night, the stage was still blasting deafening DJ rock and roll.

“Director Xu likes you quite a bit too.”

Chu Cheng consoled him without emotion, looking around furtively, a little scared, as was Wan Mengmeng.

When the two found Fu Yang, he was lying on the practice room floor lifelessly like a salted fish.

Then he suddenly said he wanted to drink.

Willing to risk their lives to accompany their brother, the three immediately climbed over the wall and left the recording center, sneaking into a nearby bar.

“No, he doesn’t like me! I kissed him, he pushed me away!” Fu Yang lay on the table, crying his heart out.

Chu Cheng, who was about to comfort him: “?”

Dude, you…

Wan Mengmeng’s jaw almost dropped to the ground: “You, you kissed Director Xu!!”

The volume was so loud that everyone else in the bar turned their heads.

Wan Mengmeng quickly covered her mouth and bowed to apologize, then leaned to Fu Yang’s side and whispered:

“Aren’t you just his fan?”

“What fan, who wants to be his fan!” Fu Yang took a big gulp, uttering heroic words, “I want to be his future husband!”

Chu Cheng/Wan Mengmeng: Shocked for two lifetimes.

Chu Cheng hesitated: “…Then him just pushing you away is already good, at least he didn’t slap you, and neuter you, he’s pretty merciful.”

“Wuwuwu he doesn’t like me, he likes Shangguan Yaoguang, he’s still chasing Shangguan Yaoguang, why does that damn Shangguan Yaoguang have such good fortune!” Fu Yang hugged the wine bottle and banged it on his head.

Chu Cheng/Wan Mengmeng: Shocked for three lifetimes.

Luckily they came out tonight, there’s enough gossip to burst.

“Then… they like each other, what are you getting involved in? Although we’re friends, but if you want to be a third party, then we’re still…”

Fu Yang pouted, continuing to bang his head.

Chu Cheng and Wan Mengmeng exchanged glances, and quickly changed their tune: “Then we still support you.”

“It’s okay, we’re determined to tear down the mere Xing Yue!” The two patted their chests lovingly.

Chu Cheng put his arm around Fu Yang’s shoulder, shaking him: “Hey, don’t wail, don’t hit your genius head! We can’t afford to break it! Isn’t it just being a third party, let’s just launch a Third Party Operation, and snatch Director Xu back!”

Fu Yang sniffed, speechless: “Third Party Operation sounds too bad.”

“Then Stealing a Wife Operation?”

Fu Yang was even more dissatisfied: “They’re not together yet! How am I a third party, how am I stealing a wife!!”

“Okay, okay, not a third party, not not.” Chu Cheng stroked his chin and came up with a plan, “Since they’re not together, then we’ll just pursue him properly.”

Wan Mengmeng said silently to the side: “Brother A, are you reliable?”

“That’s a must!” Chu Cheng patted his chest, reaching out his hand, “Step 1, Honey Trap! Since Senior Xu likes men, then with our scholar’s looks, we’ll definitely be one step ahead, and dress up in the style that Senior likes, that’ll definitely charm him to death!”

Fu Yang: “Look my face, me?”

“Scholar, although you’re handsome, but your face looks like you’ve been dating since elementary school and never had a break in your love life,” Chu Cheng held up a hand to block his lower face, “Especially these eyes, tsk tsk, heartless enough.”

Fu Yang retorted: “Nonsense, I haven’t even had my first love!”

Chu Cheng followed his lead: “My point is, compared to your romantic and handsome image, Senior Xu might have poor taste, and prefer the gloomy and aloof type, like… Senior Shangguan.”

Wan Mengmeng: “…”

“Scholar, start being aloof from tomorrow, or should you get bangs?” Chu Cheng prepared to reach out and pull down his bangs, but was slapped away.

Fu Yang was sulky: “I don’t want to be like him!”

Wan Mengmeng listened for a long time, feeling that it was really unreliable, “Brother A, have you been in love? Why does it sound so weird?”

Chu Cheng was silent for a moment, regaining his momentum: “Although your Brother A hasn’t been in love, I’ve chased a lot of people, put 100 hearts at ease!”

“You’ve chased a lot, but haven’t been in love, don’t you think that’s a bit contradictory?” Wan Mengmeng saw through him, “The reason you haven’t gotten together is because your chasing is the problem…”

Chu Cheng: It seems I’ve been seen through by this Stupid.

Dao heart broken ing

—

Fu Yang was notified that someone was looking for him as soon as he returned to the dormitory, and his heart tightened, wouldn’t it be that their sneaking out had been discovered.

He would be fine, but if Chu Cheng and Wan Mengmeng were implicated, he would be dead.

Holding his breath, he walked to the end of the corridor, only to see the face of the person who turned around.

“Zhao Anqing?”

Zhao Anqing grinned: “You finally said my name right.”

Fu Yang moved a little further away, “You drank too?”

Zhao Anqing grabbed the corner of his clothes, opening his mouth without preamble: “I like you.”

“I liked you a long, long, long time ago.” He said, word by word.

Fu Yang: “Thank you, but I have someone I like.”

Hearing this, Zhao Anqing released the hand gripping his clothes, a little disappointed, but quickly relieved: “It’s okay, me liking you is my problem, confessing to you is also my decision, it has nothing to do with you, you don’t need to feel burdened.”

Saying these words that had been hidden for a long time was a relief.

“For you, who you like is also your problem.” Zhao Anqing smiled a little bitterly, “My problem has been rejected, I wish you a smooth graduation.”

Fu Yang was silent for a moment: “I might… not be so smooth either.”

Zhao Anqing’s mood suddenly brightened: “Seeing such a handsome guy also suffering from love, I suddenly feel much better, thanks.”

Fu Yang: “…”

Now that it was out in the open, Zhao Anqing wasn’t worried, not having to pretend in front of Fu Yang was easier, he opened the window to clear his head.

“Actually, I knew it wouldn’t succeed, but I still wanted to tell you my feelings, alas, maybe I’ve recently realized that life is really fragile, no one can predict what will happen next, if I don’t say it, maybe there won’t be a chance.”

Fu Yang nodded in agreement, speaking of which, Zhao Anqing could be considered his teacher in matters of love.

So Fu Yang humbly asked for advice: “Then should I confess again?”

“What a coincidence, I happened to ask someone else that question tonight too,” Zhao Anqing turned around, “He said—Follow your heart.”

“Let’s encourage each other.”

…

Xu Chengyue was awakened by the alarm clock, opening his eyes after a slight gasp.

After chatting with Zhao Anqing last night, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and only felt sleepy when the sky turned white.

Perhaps it was just a small sip of wine, he didn’t lose his memory last night, but instead… had a wet dream.

But it didn’t seem like a dream, but rather like something that had happened before.

What didn’t seem like a dream was that the location was very specific, it was in Shangguan’s cousin Xie Wanwan’s bedroom.

It should have been the night he lost his memory after Ye Xiao drugged him.

In the dream, a faceless body pressed down on him, the two of them soaked, the atmosphere ambiguous and misty.

He remembered that Shangguan’s expression was very strange the next day, and it was because of this that Xu Chengyue felt he should take responsibility.

But in the dream last night, he suddenly remembered a part, the name he called at that time was why was it…

His voice seemed to come from ancient times—

“Fu Yang, can you hug me, please…”

Xu Chengyue’s face flushed to the roots of his neck, covering his face with the quilt, he didn’t remember much, but most of it was himself hugging Shangguan and not letting go, calling Fu Yang’s name in his mouth.

What an explosive dream.

He didn’t know Fu Yang at that time, why would he call Fu Yang’s name?

Xu Chengyue endured the shame, holding his head, and had to reconnect Shangguan Yaoguang and Fu Yang.

Shangguan Yaoguang’s personality changed drastically after waking up from lethargy due to hypersomnia on October 6th, Xu Chengyue took out his phone and searched, Fu Yang entered the hospital also on October 6th.

That’s right, after the album live stream, Shangguan was very abnormal when he went to the hospital, and also looked very familiar with Fu Yang’s family.

He also opened WeChat, Shangguan Yaoguang used his original phone again after recovering his memory, the phone and WeChat account he gave him were no longer used.

Shangguan Yaoguang’s main WeChat profile picture was a photo of the window of the practice room, the last message he sent him was three months ago, when Ye Xiao was busy filming Zhao Qian’s movie, and the four of them were promoting the group album.

[sgyg]: Not going tomorrow.

The tone was as distant and indifferent as ever.

And his other WeChat account after losing his memory…

Xu Chengyue opened the other profile picture, a casually taken picture of the sky, the sun was very big, bright and passionate, the chat interface was densely packed with conversations.

[World’s Number One Handsome]: What’s wrong with Li An, is she crazy [Roaring Dragon.jpg]

[World’s Number One Handsome]: So annoying, so annoying, so annoying, so annoying, why do I have to shoot a cover for a variety show, don’t want to go to work [Melting.jpg]

[World’s Number One Handsome]: Xu Chengyue, why are you ignoring me! [Little Cat Peeking]

……

Completely different.

Xu Chengyue hadn’t considered a possibility.

But……

This is really not scientific.
