Pyramid Hanging Upside Down Chapter 31

Chapter 31

Qi Feiluan stopped his divergent thinking.

Many times people have the illusion that the other person is special to them. Qi Feiluan was lost because of this before, but later he realized that this was just wishful thinking on his part.

Ji Yinli came over to talk to Qi Feiluan from time to time. Qi Feiluan’s days in hospital for recuperation were not boring at all.

But Ji Yinli felt it was outrageous. When he came to see Qi Feiluan, he spent most of the time talking and Qi Feiluan was listening, while Qi Feiluan rarely spoke.Moreover, he seemed to be too out of touch with the trend of the times. He had no idea what the newly released games were and did not pay attention to movies and TV shows. When Ji Yinli asked about his entertainment method, Qi Feiluan was silent for a long time and gave the answer of training.

Ji Yinli:…

Is this instant recharge?Ji Xingyuan seems to be the same way, otherwise he is the one in power and he is just a rich N generation doing nothing.

But ask yourself, if Ji Yinli and Ji Xingyuan were exchanged, Ji Xingyuan’s power was given to him, and he was allowed to live Ji Xingyuan’s current life, he would not be willing to do so.

After all, not everyone is willing to sacrifice everything for money and power, at least not Ji Yinli.

On the night of March 9th, Qi Feiluan suddenly woke up from his light sleep. His sharp eyes were directed at the extra person in the ward. At the same time, he subconsciously touched the pillow with one hand, but found nothing.

While he didn’t touch the gun, he also saw clearly that the person who suddenly appeared in his ward was Ji Xingyuan, whom he hadn’t seen in the past few days.

Qi Feiluan’s guard suddenly dissipated. He actually recognized the bed a little bit. Sleeping in an unfamiliar room and a bed full of unfamiliar smells would keep him on guard subconsciously, making it difficult for him to enter deep sleep.

In the past two days, I had lost a limb and was in low spirits. Although I couldn’t sleep well at night, I didn’t feel as sharp as usual.

Qi Feiluan had regained some energy after recuperating in the past two days. As soon as he fell asleep tonight, he suddenly heard some small sounds. He woke up immediately and the person he saw was Ji Xingyuan.

In fact, I also knew that there was no one else but Ji Xingyuan who had the authority to enter this ward in Ji’s Hospital without disturbing anyone.

Ji Xingyuan stood beside his bed and naturally noticed that he was awake and said, “Sorry, I just wanted to see you and didn’t want to wake you up.”

After speaking, Ji Xingyuan walked to the chair reserved for him and sat down.

Now that Qi Feiluan was awake, he clicked on the bedside panel and turned on the lights in the ward.

Soft lights filled the room. At first glance, Ji Xingyuan still looked the same as usual. He was wearing a well-fitting formal suit, sharp and oppressive, as if he could step onto the stage prepared for him at any time, but Qi Feiluan could still see the fatigue and lethargy between his brows.

In other words, Ji Xingyuan didn’t have to disguise himself in front of Qi Feiluan, so the tiredness leaked fell into Qi Feiluan’s eyes.

He worked intensely during the day, and at night he had to rush over to see Qi Feiluan. Without seeing Qi Feiluan, he couldn’t sleep at night. Such a continuous sequence made even a powerful Alpha like Ji Xingyuan feel tired.

Qi Feiluan waited quietly for Ji Xingyuan to speak first. At the same time, he was also thinking that he was the one who discovered Ji Xingyuan’s visit tonight. If he hadn’t discovered it, Ji Xingyuan would probably come to see him quietly and then leave quietly.

So…when he was not in good spirits a few days ago, maybe Ji Xingyuan also visited late at night, but he didn’t notice it?

Ji Xingyuan was silent for a long time before speaking: “A Luan, I told you before that I wanted to change. After this assassination, I realized how shallow the ‘change’ I said before was. In essence, my proposal at the time was a condescending order.”

In addition to “dealing with” Ji Taizhen and his work these days, Ji Xingyuan has been thinking about the relationship between him and Qi Feiluan, and how to change the morbid status quo between the two.

Qi Feiluan is not an object. Ji Xingyuan wants to hear Qi Feiluan speak from the heart, wants to see him smile sincerely, and more… wants Qi Feiluan to love him too.

Therefore, even though it was not the most appropriate time to speak, Ji Xingyuan still said: “Aluan, I love you, and I also want you to believe that I love you. I will treat you as my equal and the person I love. I will not love others, but I will work hard to learn and change myself.”

After he finished speaking, he stared at Qi Feiluan, focusing on catching even the slightest change in his demeanor, and even more looking forward to some response from Qi Feiluan.

But Qi Feiluan in front of him still didn’t react. He seemed to be listening carefully to what he said, but Ji Xingyuan understood that Qi Feiluan was just listening as before.

Ji Xingyuan’s exhaustion made him even more depressed. He had never spoken to anyone in such a low profile, and he had never experienced the nervousness of expecting a reply from the other party.

He has never had to wait humbly for someone’s answer before, let alone feel nervous, excited, or excited about waiting for the other person’s answer.

Until today, he didn’t understand what it felt like to be completely distracted by another person.

To love someone and show your heart to them is already so humiliating, but it can be even more humbling because you are more afraid that the other person will not accept the heart that you have broken out.

But Ji Xingyuan would also think that the former Qi Feiluan also loved him. In the past four years… no, so many years, he had held the heart that loved him passionately in front of him, but he turned a blind eye and allowed that heart to be frozen by the cold wind day after day.

Just thinking about Qi Feiluan’s feelings made Ji Xingyuan feel his heart aching.

Ji Xingyuan closed his eyes and continued: “From now on, you don’t have to listen to my words outside of work. They are not orders. Outside of work, you are neither my subordinate nor my tool. If you regard my words as orders, Aluan, the last order I give you today that has nothing to do with work is to be yourself.”

Ji Xingyuan also understood that even if he changed himself, he would not be able to make Qi Feiluan a “human” again.

He has been hurt by himself, objectified himself, and has almost no personal emotions. He must take the initiative to find himself, and must regain the urge to make his own decisions.

Ji Xingyuan expected Qi Feiluan to refute him, accuse him, and glare at him. He expected Qi Feiluan to give him some emotions and reactions out of his own, and not to be just a tool who obeyed his orders forever.

“Believe me…” Ji Xingyuan solemnly made a promise, “Let’s start over.”

Love him, be himself, start over?

Qi Feiluan didn’t believe that Ji Xingyuan could really fall in love with him, and he didn’t believe in starting over. What’s more… he had even lost himself, so how could he be himself again?

Qi Feiluan knew very well that he was used to living under Ji Xingyuan’s dominance and with Ji Xingyuan as the center. He had lost himself a long time ago, but now Ji Xingyuan wanted him to be himself.

In addition to feeling ironic, Qi Feiluan also felt at a loss as to be about to be abandoned.

But Ji Xingyuan seemed to be serious. Qi Feiluan could only treat Ji Xingyuan’s words as a new order, so he nodded slowly and said, “Okay.”

…

Just after seeing off Ji Xingyuan last night, Qi Feiluan welcomed his parents the next day.

As soon as Father Qi and Mother Qi entered the ward, they were choked in their throats just as they were about to speak.

Qi Feiluan, who was on the hospital bed, immediately realized the problem, but it was already too late.

“Your neck…” Qi’s mother said in disbelief.

Qi’s father also stared at Qi Feiluan’s neck, his expression gloomy and terrifying.

Qi Feiluan only wore hospital gowns in the hospital and did not wear high-collar clothes to cover his neck. He did not know that they were coming today and was caught off guard by them.

Qi’s mother became anxious on the spot: “You didn’t notify us immediately of your injury. If your father hadn’t discovered that you hadn’t gone to work in the Jijia Building these days, we wouldn’t have even known that you were injured. Is your neck the same? You were injured before and had a prosthetic leg replaced, so you kept hiding it from us?”

Qi’s mother was shocked, angry and sad. She always felt that she owed her son a lot and the relationship between parent and child was alienated. However, she did not expect that her son’s amputation would be fine if they did not notify them immediately. In fact, he had also suffered a serious neck injury many years ago and had to replace the prosthetic leg and has kept it secret until now!

That’s the neck…the most fragile and deadly part of the human body.

The more Qi’s mother thought about it, the more she became afraid. She almost lost her son many years ago.

They were Qi Feiluan’s biological parents. They were so alienated from each other that they were worse than ordinary friends.

Why is this so?

Qi’s mother shed tears uncontrollably.

Father Qi’s eyes fell on Qi Feiluan’s neck, and then on his empty left trouser leg.He is a non-smoker, but at this moment he can’t help but want to smoke a cigarette.

He has close ties with the Ji family and knows more than Qi’s mother.

When he learned that Ji Xingyuan had been assassinated, Qi’s father was heartbroken.

When Ji Xingyuan was assassinated, Qi Feiluan would definitely be with him, and he would also be in great danger.

Then Ji Xingyuan appeared in front of people safe and sound, but Qi Feiluan did not follow him, so Qi’s father had a very bad premonition.

Qi’s father forcibly suppressed the urge to inquire about Qi Feiluan. Qi Feiluan did not show up with Ji Xingyuan. He might have gone on a secret mission, but it may not mean that he was actually injured or had an accident.

Sure enough, Ji Taizhen “disappeared” right after, and Qi’s father suspected that Qi Feiluan did it under Ji Xingyuan’s order.

But two days after Ji Taizhen disappeared, Qi Feiluan still did not appear in Jijia Building.

Qi’s father finally couldn’t help but found Ji Xingyuan, and then learned that Qi Feiluan had lost his left calf in the assassination and was being hospitalized and observed in a private hospital under the Ji family’s name.

Qi’s father informed Qi’s mother, and the two of them went straight to the hospital without telling Qi Feiluan.

Qi’s father now feels that it is lucky that they did not inform him about the unexpected visit, otherwise they might still not know that Qi Feiluan’s neck had been replaced with a prosthetic limb.

So…Qi Feiluan is becoming more and more taciturn. Is it because of this?

Qi’s father once consulted a doctor about this, and the doctor said it might be post-traumatic stress disorder, but he never knew what Qi Feiluan had experienced or witnessed to become like this.

The parent-child relationship between them was alienated, and he did not dare to ask or test Qi Feiluan, for fear of continuing to exert psychological pressure on him.

But, but…it was actually because the neck was replaced with a prosthetic limb.

Qi’s father is also an Alpha. He understands Ji Xingyuan better than Qi’s mother, so he can also see the deeper meaning of the mechanical prosthesis on his neck——

It was almost like a collar for a slave.
