After Escaping Chapter 35

Thirty-one. Futon

After the huge shock, Pei Shuyun was penetrated by a bone-chilling coldness.

At that moment, all the experiences of this year, big and small, flashed through his mind.

No wonder, no wonder that when he was in trouble, Ji Huizhou brought him into the studio in time without even looking at his resume; no wonder that he received a big order from a client not long after starting work and became famous in one fell swoop; no wonder that he always took care of himself in all situations…

It turns out that everything is fake.

I have never really escaped from that person.

It was just an escape from one cage to another carefully arranged golden cage.

When Ji Huizhou came back, he saw Pei Shuyun looking a little dull at the same place.

The screen of the mobile phone turned on and off. After being squeezed tightly in Pei Shuyun’s hand, it was returned to him.

Ji Huizhou saw the unread messages on the screen and understood that Pei Shuyun knew the truth.

“Xiao Pei…”

After much hesitation, Ji Huizhou finally spoke.

“I didn’t mean to hide it from you, I just…”

“You were just doing things for Gu Yu.” Pei Shuyun looked up at him, with an unclear smile on his lips, “I have no position to blame you. It was Gu Yu’s request, and you just followed it. When I was at my lowest, you gave me a job. I should be more grateful to you.”

“It’s just that I didn’t expect that my work, friends, and life would all be under his control to this day. The freedom I thought I had was just a gift from him.”

Ji Huizhou moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he did not speak.

“Brother Ji, whether it is because of Gu Yu’s request or for other reasons, I am very grateful for your care these days. I will formally submit my resignation to you tomorrow. I hope you can agree.”

“Xiao Pei, I think no matter what conflicts there are between you and Gu Yu, we should still be friends.”

“You can continue to work in my studio as if you don’t have that relationship with Gu Yu.”

Pei Shuyun still refused.

“Brother Ji, have you ever felt that your career and life were destroyed for no reason, just to satisfy the selfish desires of others? Have you ever been imprisoned in the darkness by a person, feeling the pain of mental breakdown, and even basic physiological functions such as drinking water and eating have to be manipulated by others.”

“I finally escaped and I don’t want to bring back those dark days.”

Pei Shuyun looked at Ji Huizhou seriously, and for the first time he opened up the scars in his heart and showed them to outsiders.

“Brother Ji, that’s it.”

“I’ve failed enough in life.”

Pei Shuyun grabbed his coat on the sofa and walked out, his steps a little frivolous and messy.

While stumbling, he bumped into a young man with red hair.The man seemed to want to get angry, but after seeing his lost look, he still closed his mouth and raised his hand to help him.

The man looked at him with interest, as if he wanted to talk to him more.

Pei Shuyun, however, had no intention of paying attention to anything else. After hastily apologizing, he left all the noise in the bar behind.

Ji Huizhou stood there and watched his figure disappear completely in the crowd, holding his forehead helplessly.

He and Gu Yu only had a relationship when they were in college. After graduation, he moved to city B alone and opened a decent-sized art studio.But unexpectedly, he suddenly received a call from Gu Yu, asking him to help take care of a friend who ran away in anger.

He had known about Gu Yu’s sexual orientation for a long time. He just thought it was because he made his little boyfriend lose his temper, so he agreed immediately.

Unexpectedly, after getting along, he discovered that the relationship between the two was not what he imagined. Pei Shuyun seemed to hate Gu Yu deeply. Over time, he did not dare to poke the window paper directly, until Pei Shuyun noticed it today.

Ji Huizhou sighed.

It was obviously Gu Yu himself who caused all the troubles, but it made him look like a villain who deceived an innocent boy. He felt so guilty that he didn’t know how to explain it.

Ji Huizhou picked up his phone and viciously edited the message to the person who was causing trouble.

“Congratulations, you are out of luck again. You can find a way to make up for it yourself.”

After sending it, Ji Huizhou thought for a moment and added another sentence.

“You’re really good, you’re so perverted”

The next day, Pei Shuyun submitted his resignation to Ji Huizhou. After barely coping with the doubtful inquiries from his colleagues, Pei Shuyun officially resigned from the studio.

Pei Shuyun has not looked for a second job for a long time.

Other companies heard about Pei Shuyun’s resignation and offered him olive branches one after another, but Pei Shuyun rejected them all.

Although he has a relationship with Gu Yu, Ji Huizhou always treats him well. Even if he quits, he will not go to other competing companies to destroy Ji Huizhou’s brand.

After all, there was still some balance in the bank card, so Pei Shuyun decided to repair it for a while before considering moving out of City B.

The top priority right now is to give my little beauty a bath.

Pei Shuyun rubbed the fur ball on his hand, and the chubby cat let out a rather proud “meow–” and narrowed his eyes to enjoy the owner’s touch.

Futuan’er was the first cat that Pei Shuyun raised. After leaving City A, Pei Shuyun suffered from severe insomnia. Due to extreme anxiety, he decided to get a cat to relieve his mood.

Soon, he met the gray little cub in the pet store and took the little blue cat, which was jumping up and down to catch flies, back home.

Futon’er hated bathing the most in her life, and she couldn’t resist the cat bag when she went out.It took Pei Shuyun a long time to get her out from under the bed. When they arrived at the pet shop, the sky was already dark.

There were still a few customers in the pet shop. Pei Shuyun took the little fat boy out of his bag and stood aside to wait for the customers in front to finish their consultation.

Unexpectedly, a large ball of furry things pounced on his legs.It was a half-grown puppy, and it was obviously interested in the futon in his arms. After tugging at it twice, it began to bark loudly at him.

Futon’s son is timid and will meow and run down when frightened.

Pei Shuyun didn’t hold it firmly, and watched helplessly as the puppy excitedly rushed up and chased the futon around the room.

“Douzhi! You’re causing trouble for me again!” A young man quickly grabbed the dog’s leash and gave him a few more words of training before the puppy reluctantly calmed down.

With the help of the clerk, Fu Tuan’er returned to Pei Shuyun’s arms, his hair rising in fright.

Pei Shuyun comforted Futon’er, and the young man came over and apologized to him with an apologetic look.

Pei Shuyun waved his hand and said it didn’t matter, but the man had no intention of leaving. Instead, he looked at him seriously.

“This gentleman, we seem to have met before.”
