Chapter 45 Warmth If he is always in the rain of the return to southern China, humid…

When Xu Chengyue recalls those days, he still feels that they were several times more difficult than being in the entertainment industry.

During his three years in high school, he was always rushing to various training classes, while balancing his studies and the college entrance examination, so busy that he wished he could split a minute in half.

Of course, none of this was as stressful as the disappointed look in his teacher’s eyes.

That kind of top-down scrutiny was as if adopting him was a mistake.

Honestly, the teacher treated him very well, never lacking in food, clothing, housing, or transportation, which made Xu Chengyue feel even more guilty.

That feeling was like another plum rain falling during the return to southern China, the cold, damp rain soaking into every inch of his skin. He watched himself slowly growing moldy, but he was powerless to do anything about it.

Only when Qing Sha came home for winter and summer vacations did the invisible dampness slowly diminish.

But as Qing Sha joined the research group, she became even busier, returning home less and less often, and the teacher’s mood worsened. The sticky, humid atmosphere was about to engulf Xu Chengyue.

He could only work harder, nervously producing first-place finishes in various competitions.

So much so that when he realized he couldn’t get into B University, his nerves were stretched taut.

Xu Chengyue closed his eyes. He didn’t know where the water was coming from, seeping through the walls and dripping onto the ground. A drop of water hit his cheek, very cold, making him feel extra cold in the cave too.

He couldn’t help but take a step back. The cave was dark, so he didn’t notice Fu Yang behind him. This step back caused him to fall into Fu Yang’s arms, pressed against his chest.

In a panic, he grabbed Fu Yang’s arm. Their skin touched, and Xu Chengyue paused, then felt a warm breath envelop him tightly.

If he was always in the rain of the return to southern China, damp and moldy,

Then the person behind him was like the scorching sun in the dog days of summer, hot and bright, even a little burning.

Xu Chengyue’s fingers curled slightly, imperceptibly moving away from the warmth he wanted to indulge in.

The next second, Fu Yang held him in place.

Maintaining the position, he completely encircled him in his arms.

Warm hands enveloped his hands, slowly rubbing them.

“Why are you always so cold?”

Fu Yang found Xu Chengyue very magical. He always had a fresh scent, and his skin was ice-cold. Although it was comfortable to hold him, Fu Yang always wanted to warm him up.

“I thought of some things, a little… cold.” As he spoke, Xu Chengyue shivered.

Xu Chengyue didn’t like talking about his own affairs, but with only a few words, Fu Yang could only guess at some of the details. Soon, those unspeakable pasts were bloody displayed before him.

That kind of emotion similar to heartache completely enveloped him, making the air pressure extremely low.

“No one will bully you.”

Fu Yang completely hugged the shivering person into his arms.

Yes, Fu Yang definitely defined these as bullying, even feeling it was a kind of spiritual bullying.

Xu Chengyue was in a state of mental tension for a long time, always paying attention to the emotions of the people around him. That savior-like heroism of constantly dedicating himself was not groundless, but deliberately cultivated by someone.

Because they needed Xu Chengyue’s dedication.

His teacher was a monster that ate people, skinning them, pulling out their tendons, and eating every part of them, wanting to exploit him so thoroughly that not a drop of blood remained.

Fu Yang clenched his fists in anger, “I better not see your teacher.”

“What?”

“I’ll act on behalf of Heaven, helping you to betray your teacher and ancestors.”

Xu Chengyue raised his head from his chest, stroked the young man’s face, and smoothed out his tightly furrowed brow: “You can’t say that, he has helped me a lot too.”

It was precisely because of this that Xu Chengyue could not truly sever his connection with his teacher.

This kind of deformity relationship is actually very similar to the relationship between East Asian parents and children.

Because you were not born with love from the beginning, but with expectations, with ulterior motives. They expect you to have excellent grades, expect you to be a heavenly Purple Star, expect you to earn tens of thousands a month, expect you to be filial and support them in their old age.

Giving birth to a child is such a simple thing, if it is ruined, if the investment fails, then just have another one.

You only have one choice for them, but they don’t necessarily need you.

Their love has been calculated from the beginning, with many additional conditions.

Leading you to neither love nor hate, not even able to cry out in pain, falling into endless internal friction.

Xu Chengyue was indeed numb, even completely domesticated, compromising and thinking—just let it be like this.

Just let it be like this.

Just let it be like this.

Stop struggling.

But at that time, a clear female voice came to his ears—

“Want freedom.”

“Xu Chengyue, you want freedom.”

“Everyone should be free.”

…

“Lu Baoyu eliminated, only one person left in the southern territory.”

“Ye Xiao eliminated, the southern territory was completely wiped out.”

The chaotic thoughts were brought back by the mechanical broadcast sound that was announced to the whole island, Xu Chengyue was not surprised that Wen Jingxin and Qing Sha won, but he did not expect Ye Xiao and Lu Baoyu to lose so quickly.

“We can go out!” He came back to his senses, hurriedly broke free from the warm embrace, and ran somewhat unnaturally to the cave entrance to look around.

Fu Yang looked at his back, his mind suddenly diverging. If Xu Chengyue went to B University, would they have met sooner?

Three years apart.

But… the same year.

Maybe they could have both been on the school hunk competition List at the same time.

Fu Yang couldn’t help but reveal a smile. Who was more handsome, him or Xu Chengyue? It seemed like he was a little more handsome.

Xu Chengyue hesitated and turned back, seeing a silly smiling figure.

Fu Yang instantly restrained his expression, “Can you attack Qing Sha?”

Xu Chengyue: “Why not?”

Fu Yang also walked out of the cave, raised his head and looked at the sky: “After all, she is… fi-an-cee.”

Xu Chengyue: “…Spare me, brother.”

No one expected that a joke he made at the time would be remembered by Fu Yang until now.

And in fact, he did not have such a legitimate identity as a fiance, he never called Qing Sha “sister”, because Qing Sha really did not look like an elder.

She did shine in the professional field, but in life she always did not understand many things and did not consider the consequences at all. The seemingly timid and socially anxious girl was actually more rebellious than anyone else.

Just like after she said “Everyone should be free”, she took him away from home and they became homeless.

That time… was exactly three days before the college entrance examination.

“Do you think the college entrance examination is more important?”

The well-disciplined teenager nodded.

“Bullshit.” She yelled with her hands on her hips, “Shout with me—it’s all bullshit!”

So, Xu Chengyue blankly shouted with her for an afternoon, and then… it was time to face reality.

Qing Sha would not consider what the two of them would eat or wear, where they would live after leaving home, whether they had brought their ID cards. Because they left in a hurry, the young boy and girl did not have a penny on them, and they did not even take their mobile phones. She was holding her breath, not wanting to go back.

She was certainly well-intentioned, but she caused big and small troubles within three days… that Xu Chengyue needed to clean up.

So Xu Chengyue found a job that paid daily, wearing a mascot costume and dancing in the square during the day, and returning to the hostel at night to learn that Qing Sha had been scammed out of a 30,000 loan.

“B University’s top student?” Xu Chengyue laughed in anger.

Qing Sha: “He said there was a free prize draw to exchange for a mobile phone.”

Xu Chengyue felt a burst of fear in his heart. Fortunately, she was only scammed, and not… something else.

He immediately took her to the police station to report the case. Fortunately, because it was handled in a timely manner, the money was recovered.

“…Don’t talk to strangers in the future, don’t open the door for strangers.”

The hostel was a mixed bag, Xu Chengyue did not feel at ease placing Qing Sha there, and asked: “Want to go home?”

Qing Sha shook her head definitely, she still had not calmed down.

So Xu Chengyue used the money he earned from working part-time the first day to open a room for her in the hotel, and he did not go out again, but seized the time to review the knowledge for the college entrance examination, writing the content to be memorized on the draft paper.

He told her that the phone on the wall was for ordering food.

She would chat with him, saying that the professor had taken a liking to a physics genius who skipped three grades and was directly recommended, wanting to hook him up to be their junior brother.

He told her to go out for a while, remember not to open the door for others.

She would suddenly stare at a piece of peeling paint on the wall, muttering some formula in her mouth.

He made a shop on the floor and told her it was time to sleep.

She suddenly got up in the middle of the night and connected the mineral water bottles in the hotel to make a distillation device.

Xu Chengyue felt that his worrying personality was inseparable from Qing Sha.

They were always unable to be on the same frequency, like the next heavy rain, she would rush into the rain and spin around dancing, praising nature as so beautiful, while Xu Chengyue was worried about whether she would catch a cold and have to wash clothes again.

Qing Sha could always immerse herself in her own world, doing whatever she wanted and being willful was the confidence of a genius, it seemed that no one could bring her to the real world.

Xu Chengyue occasionally envied her, but more often hoped that she would never change, she should always be as fresh and enthusiastic as in his memory.

But he couldn’t help but wonder, what kind of person would be on the same frequency as Qing Sha.

Walking and walking, turning a corner, he met the eyes of a short-haired girl.

“Found you.” A cold voice rang out.

In an instant, Xu Chengyue woke up from his memories, pulling him into the real world.

The amber eyes opposite him narrowed slightly, quickly loading the gun, aiming, and firing instantly.

Xu Chengyue pushed Fu Yang away, and the two of them flutter to the left and right, dodging separately.

And in the hiding place there was another gunshot, representing that Qing Sha was hiding in the dark.

Fu Yang dodged another shot in a handsome posture: “Did you have to be so unannounced?”

Wen Jingxin suddenly stopped, then took a deep look at Fu Yang, and said to him: “I won’t hold back, there is no such thing in this project.”

Fu Yang raised his eyebrows: “Don’t need it.”

Before leaving the cave, Xu Chengyue had already distributed the two bullets, one for each person.

Xu Chengyue rolled in the grass, and whispered: “You aim at Qing Sha, leave the other one to me.”

They both knew that Wen Jingxin would be more difficult to deal with than Qing Sha.

Fu Yang: “Wait…”

“Listen to me.” Xu Chengyue’s captain genes went online at this time, and he said decisively: “I’ll tell you when to shoot.”

Fu Yang had no choice but to hide behind the tree, looking for the location of the person hiding in the dark.

It could be seen that the opposite side did not have much ammunition left either, and both sides were very cautious.

At this time, Xu Chengyue suddenly stood up from behind the cover.

“Shoot.”

In an instant, two bullets came head-on, and at the same time he pulled the trigger and killed Wen Jingxin.

And when Qing Sha shot at him, she exposed her position and was killed by Fu Yang.

The sky was getting dark.

The mechanical broadcast sound that notified the whole island rang out, like a strange sound from a barrel organ, monotonous and harsh, at this time coldly and ruthlessly notifying—

“Wen Jingxin eliminated, Qing Sha eliminated.”

“Xu Chengyue eliminated.”

“Shangguan Yaoguang wins.”

In the end, Fu Yang and Xu Chengyue won the competition in first and second place, got the clues, and could embark on the ship to leave the island.

Lu Baoyu was envious and jealous, his face was very bad, and he kept muttering that it was all Ye Xiao’s fault that he did not win.

[It seems like he exposed his own position, right…]

[These two Dragon and Phoenix Chicken, don’t blame each other]

[Shangguan is number one! Awesome!!!]

[So handsome my Guang!]

[But this first place was exchanged for Yue Bao’s sacrifice, touching (teary eyes)]

[The most surprising thing to me today is Xu Chengyue, I really want to become a fan, who can persuade me…]

[Indeed, today’s first place is Shangguan Yaoguang, the mvp should be Xu Chengyue. ]

[Can black material artists get out of the entertainment industry?]

[I’ll keep a wait-and-see attitude until the black material is clarified]

[I don’t believe he would hit someone for no reason ah ah ah ah, our most gentle little captain, I will always follow you!!!]

[I don’t believe it either, wu wu, it’s too difficult for us Yue fans, why on earth]

Hao Yun said stealthily: “Captain, secretly bring back some snacks.”

“Still eating?” Xu Chengyue tapped his cheek, even in such a harsh environment, it did not seem to get thinner.

Wen Jingxin and Fu Yang looked at each other, “Good marksmanship.”

She said two more words at the end, but they were submerged between her lips and teeth, and the smile that was revealed quickly disappeared without a trace.

Fu Yang stepped onto the ferry, and Xu Chengyue quickly followed behind him.

Since the end of the competition, Fu Yang had not said a word to him.

Xu Chengyue felt a little uneasy in his heart for some reason.
