Chapter 53

    Fu Chaoyun didn’t have time to answer questions from strangers right now. He only wanted to know how Chi Nan was. He didn’t reply to Gu Jingnan’s words and went straight for the door, but Gu Jingnan stopped him.

    “What do you mean by this?”

    Fu Chaoyun looked at Gu Jingnan.

    “Chi Nan doesn’t really want to see you right now.”

    “Whether Chi Nan wants to see me or not isn’t for you to decide.”

    Fu Chaoyun tried to go inside, but Gu Jingnan wouldn’t let him. The two of them started fighting at the door. Fu Chaoyun pushed away Gu Jingnan’s hand, but Gu Jingnan grabbed him in return. Then Fu Chaoyun launched a low kick at Gu Jingnan’s legs, but Gu Jingnan’s stance was incredibly stable, and he used a grappling technique to pin Fu Chaoyun’s arms behind his back.

    Fu Chaoyun usually exercised frequently in the Fu family. People like them usually learned some self-defense skills. Compared to other young masters, Fu Chaoyun was considered excellent, but in front of Gu Jingnan, he was simply no match.

    “Unstable foundation, rash, emotions on your face, young man, you don’t know how to measure.”

    This was Gu Jingnan’s assessment of Fu Chaoyun.

    “What are you doing?”

    Chi Nan had just finished showering and heard the doorbell. When he opened the door, he was surprised to see Gu Jingnan. He wondered why Gu Jingnan was there, but he couldn’t just turn him away, so Chi Nan let Gu Jingnan sit in the room for a while. After all, Gu Jingnan had helped Chi Nan before, and Chi Nan knew how to be polite. So Chi Nan went back to his room to dry his hair and washed some fruit in the kitchen. When he came out of the kitchen, he saw the two men fighting at the door.

    Hearing Chi Nan’s voice, Gu Jingnan released Fu Chaoyun. Fu Chaoyun’s hands were finally relaxed, no longer as stiff as before. He entered from the other side of the door. This time, Gu Jingnan didn’t stop him and let Fu Chaoyun in.

    “Why didn’t you answer my calls? You didn’t answer my calls all morning. Do you know how worried I was?”

    Fu Chaoyun walked up to Chi Nan and asked him, but too much had happened today, and Fu Chaoyun was indeed worried, so his tone wasn’t very good.

    “Are you, questioning me?”

    Chi Nan retorted.

    “No, I’m worried about you. Something big happened today. I was worried about your safety and kept calling you. Even if you’re going to be angry, don’t do it at a time like this. I’ll really worry.”

    Fu Chaoyun had been really worried the whole way. Chi Nan didn’t answer the phone, and the people he sent couldn’t get close to the apartment. He didn’t know what was going on with Chi Nan. He drove incredibly fast, shortening the usual one and a half hour trip to 50 minutes. But he worried all the way, only to open the door and see Chi Nan washing fruit for someone else. He was already suppressing his anger, trying to speak to Chi Nan nicely.

    “I’m not angry. I just didn’t want to answer the phone because I didn’t want to hear your voice. I didn’t answer on purpose. You don’t have to worry about me. After all, Liang Sixu is still in the hospital. The person you should be concerned about is him, not me, who is healthy. After all, you two have been childhood sweethearts for over twenty years.”

    Chi Nan said this to annoy Fu Chaoyun, and also to annoy himself. He knew that what he said would stab Uncle Fu’s heart, but at the same time, it was also stabbing his own heart. His heart would also hurt.

    “What does this have to do with Liang Sixu? I have nothing to do with Liang Sixu. Are you suspecting something?”

    Fu Chaoyun felt that something was wrong. What did this have to do with Liang Sixu?

    “Nothing to do with him? Why does he know you don’t eat onions? Why did you send him to the hospital? I was also injured, but you only had eyes for him. Why do you care about him so much? If that’s not a relationship, then what is? Should I clap and cheer when I see you appearing in pairs on the screen for everyone to see, that’s what you call a relationship?”

    This was the first time Chi Nan had yelled at Uncle Fu so loudly. He saw the disbelief in Uncle Fu’s eyes. Uncle Fu probably thought he was crazy. He was indeed going crazy. He was being driven crazy by Uncle Fu. If he hadn’t received that photo from Liang Sixu this morning, perhaps, he would have believed Uncle Fu. But the photo was already in front of him, sent by Liang Sixu himself. Fu Chaoyun had gone to the hospital to see Liang Sixu early in the morning, and there was also a recording. If he didn’t have all these, he would have believed Uncle Fu, but with the evidence repeatedly presented to him, how could he believe Uncle Fu?

    “Uncle Fu, let’s break up. You go back to your entertainment circle, and I’ll go back to my campus life. We two shouldn’t have met in the first place. We were originally two parallel lines, and we shouldn’t have intersected at all. Our meeting from the very beginning was a mistake. Uncle Fu, I’m putting your star back. I’m not going to daydream anymore. Let’s break up.”

    After Chi Nan said this, he looked at Uncle Fu, his eyes full of tears, but he stubbornly held them back, letting them swirl in his eyes. Maybe Chi Nan should have let go long ago, from the moment Liang Sixu appeared, just as Liang Sixu said, how could he, Chi Nan, be worthy of Fu Chaoyun? He was a star in the sky, something that could only be watched, not taken down.

    “Are you serious?”

    Fu Chaoyun looked at Chi Nan and asked this question.

    Chi Nan nodded firmly. Fu Chaoyun glanced at Chi Nan and then at Gu Jingnan standing beside him. It seemed that he, Fu Chaoyun, was the clown. Someone who appeared out of nowhere had replaced him in Chi Nan’s heart. His rush this morning was like a joke. Because he was worried about Chi Nan’s safety, he was ready to break with the Liang family. Because of this, Fu Chaoyun was already preparing to announce his retirement from the entertainment industry, so he could date Chi Nan properly, away from the public eye. As a result, Chi Nan slapped him in the face. He, Fu Chaoyun, was the joke from beginning to end.

    “Then, as you wish.”

    Fu Chaoyun said this heavily. In the silent space, these words seemed to pierce Chi Nan’s soul. In the end, the two of them separated because of various things.

    Fu Chaoyun glanced at Gu Jingnan, his eyes filled with threat, but more importantly, he hoped that Gu Jingnan would take good care of Chi Nan. He didn’t know who this man was, but his appearance in Chi Nan’s home was definitely not simple. Fu Chaoyun didn’t look at Chi Nan and turned to leave Chi Nan’s home.
