HUFT Chapter 50

Chapter 50

“I just saw that your hand seemed injured too, do you want to get it treated?”

Ji Xiaoxiao is a very observant girl. She could tell that something was off between Chi Nan and Fu Chaoyun from the very first recording of the show. With all the ups and downs in this industry, Ji Xiaoxiao felt a pang of pity for Chi Nan at that moment. It wasn’t just pity, but Chi Nan was completely shrouded in a lonely aura. So she couldn’t help but show some concern.

“No need, thank you.”

Chi Nan pulled his hand back and asked the production team for a first-aid kit, wanting to bandage it himself. He took the kit upstairs with his left hand, opened it, and tried to disinfect the wound. It was just a small cut on his right hand, not very big, but it hurt a lot when he disinfected it, a lot, a lot.

Chi Nan soaked a cotton swab with disinfectant alcohol and applied it to his hand. Finally, he wrapped it with gauze, preparing to go to sleep. Liang Sixu deserved everything that happened to him, and it had nothing to do with him.

In the hospital, Liang Sixu’s head was bandaged simply. Fu Chaoyun was by his side, seemingly lost in thought.

“Chaoyun, you saw Chi Nan injured me. He didn’t even apologize.”

Liang Sixu shook Fu Chaoyun’s arm, feigning pitifulness. He was happy in his heart. At the critical moment, Fu Chaoyun still stood by his side. Liang Sixu couldn’t be more pleased with himself. He thought Fu Chaoyun cared so much about Chi Nan, but it turned out that’s all there was to it.

“Chi Nan isn’t the type of person to lose his temper for no reason. You must have said something to provoke him. Liang Sixu, stop with your little tricks. Considering the long-standing relationship between our families, I don’t want to make a move against you. But don’t provoke Chi Nan again. It’s Chi Nan’s fault that he’s young and can’t control his temper, but you were the one who provoked him first.”

“Leave the show, and put away your feelings for me. I’m not stupid, can’t I see what you mean? Chi Nan is young, don’t use your tricks on him. He doesn’t understand all the twists and turns. If there’s no problem, just leave.”

Fu Chaoyun distanced himself from Liang Sixu. He couldn’t ignore Liang Sixu’s injury today, because after all the two families had been family friends for generations. Although the Liang family was not as powerful as the Fu family, what if they took advantage of Fu Chaoyun’s inattention to deal with Chi Nan? Chi Nan’s small body wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

“Chaoyun, are you still blaming me for what happened back then?”

Liang Sixu asked Fu Chaoyun.

“No, it’s all in the past. Nothing to care about.”

“Impossible. If you didn’t care, why would my return cause such a big ripple in your heart? Do you still love me? Chaoyun, tell me the truth, do you still love me?”

Liang Sixu grabbed Fu Chaoyun with some excitement. Fu Chaoyun took Liang Sixu’s hand down.

“How many times do I have to say it for you to understand? Back then, I was young and reckless, spouting nonsense. Can you please stop dwelling in the past? Wouldn’t it be better for everyone to move on?”

“No, Chaoyun, unless you say you don’t love me with your own mouth, I won’t let go.”

Liang Sixu stared into Fu Chaoyun’s eyes, not believing him at all.

“I don’t love you.”

Fu Chaoyun stared into Liang Sixu’s eyes, saying it word by word, each word piercing his heart. Since Liang Sixu wanted to hear it, why should Fu Chaoyun be stingy with this sentence? So he would say it for Liang Sixu to hear.

“You should rest well. I’m going back to check on Chi Nan. That kid has a lot on his mind and keeps everything bottled up. I need to go back and see.”

Fu Chaoyun found two staff members to accompany Liang Sixu, and he went back himself. Although it was very late, he was worried about the kid’s situation. Fu Chaoyun drove for an hour and returned to the farmhouse. When he got back, the farmhouse was already dark.

It was already after one o’clock in the morning when Fu Chaoyun arrived at the farmhouse. Thinking that Chi Nan was already asleep, Fu Chaoyun quietly walked inside. At this time, Chi Nan was lying on the bed in the room, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Every time Chi Nan closed his eyes, he would think of Uncle Fu’s eyes before he left. That look seemed to be a reproachful one.

Was Uncle Fu blaming him? Was he blaming him for hitting Liang Sixu? Was Uncle Fu mad at him? Chi Nan turned over, unable to understand why there was no moon tonight.

Chi Nan couldn’t help but laugh at himself for thinking about this question. It was clearly his own problem, so why was he thinking about the moon? He couldn’t sleep, so he was blaming the moon. He was so ridiculous. Chi Nan was lying in bed when he heard rustling sounds outside again. He immediately became alert. It shouldn’t be a thief, so what was that sound?

Chi Nan got out of bed, found the most useful thing he could find in the room, and then quietly opened the door, preparing to give this unknown object a fatal blow. But when he opened the door, it was Uncle Fu.

“Uncle Fu?”

Chi Nan put down the broom in his hand, puzzled.

“Not asleep yet?”

Fu Chaoyun asked Chi Nan.

“No.”

Chi Nan’s voice was somewhat muffled. He was the type of person who liked to wear his emotions on his face. Fu Chaoyun went to the hospital with Liang Sixu, so why was he back again?

“I’m a little sleepy too. Let’s sleep together.”

Fu Chaoyun made a gesture to go inside, but was stopped by Chi Nan.

“Wait, I want to sleep alone tonight. Go to another room.”

Chi Nan stopped Fu Chaoyun, not letting him in.

“What’s wrong? I’m very sleepy and tired today. Can we talk about it tomorrow?”

Fu Chaoyun forced himself to keep his eyes open and patiently explained to Chi Nan. He was already feeling a little unwell today, and with everything that happened tonight, he was very sleepy and wanted to sleep. He also wanted to make time to coax Chi Nan, but he really wasn’t in the mood right now. He was very tired.

“Uncle Fu, I’m not in a good mood today. Can you sleep with someone else?”

Chi Nan stopped Fu Chaoyun. He was in a terrible mood today, and everything was stuck in his chest. Moreover, he didn’t know how to face Uncle Fu right now. He needed to give himself some time to calm down, or rather, he needed to find a reason to face Uncle Fu.

“Chi Nan, I’m also very tired today. Can’t you be a little more understanding?”

Fu Chaoyun leaned against the door and looked at Chi Nan.

The two fell into a stalemate. In the end, Fu Chaoyun spoke first.

“I won’t go in. You rest.”

Fu Chaoyun turned around and walked away, leaving Chi Nan in the room to rest, and leaving Fu Chaoyun lying in the living room downstairs for a while.

After Chi Nan closed the door, he leaned against it, feeling complicated. There were too many things between Fu Chaoyun and Liang Sixu that Chi Nan didn’t know. He felt like a clown in their trio, not knowing anything. Especially what happened today, Fu Chaoyun wasn’t even willing to listen to his explanation and took Liang Sixu to the hospital. But he was injured too! His hand hurt too!

Chi Nan looked at his right hand, still wrapped in gauze. And Fu Chaoyun hadn’t noticed any of it.
