Pyramid Hanging Upside Down Chapter 34

Chapter 34

Ji Xingyuan needs to understand himself more than anyone else. Although he has always been cold and rational in the eyes of outsiders, it is just a surface he uses to hide his crazy nature.

He is like a volcano covered in ice and snow. Under the cold and chilling surface, there is surging magma representing destruction.

He knows very well that he is paranoid, cruel and crazy. He is a madman who can watch his own madness with a cold eye.

Otherwise, he would not be able to replace Qi Feiluan’s neck with a prosthetic limb.

Fu Jun, the man who almost took Qi Feiluan away from his world four years ago, returned to Qi Feiluan and wanted to take Qi Feiluan away from his world again.

What does it mean to truly lose someone? When he no longer loves you, no longer cares about you, and no longer occupies a major position in your life, he has completely walked out of your world.

Ji Xingyuan is a very perceptive person. Four years ago, Fu Jun almost made Ji Xingyuan lose Qi Feiluan, which was also the reason why he went crazy back then.

But what about this time?

Ji Xingyuan knew very well intellectually that Qi Feiluan had regarded him as one of his belongings. What was more serious than Qi Feiluan being with Fu Jun was that Qi Feiluan was killing himself mentally, and might even end his own life physically in the future.

Ji Xingyuan knew that he could not repeat his behavior four years ago. He must not go crazy again. If he went crazy again, it would probably lead to an irreversible outcome. In any case, he must completely restrain himself.

Even if…even if Qi Feiluan is really willing to choose Fu Jun, that’s fine, as long as Qi Feiluan can find himself.

…

Compared with Ji Xingyuan, Fu Jun is a considerate and very measured person. He clearly puts himself in the position of suitor.

He and Qi Feiluan exchanged contact information. Apart from the “surprise” of meeting again, when he invited Qi Feiluan to go out for dinner or play, he would always communicate in advance. When Qi Feiluan showed a hint of refusal, he would always change the subject quietly, causing Qi Feiluan to exchange many messages with him without knowing it.

This kind of basic thing in getting along with other people is rare for Qi Feiluan.

Qi Feiluan didn’t have many other friends, and Ji Xingyuan always gave him more notices and orders than invitations.

Even though Fu Jun was so proactive, Qi Feiluan always refused.

If Qi Feiluan had dreamed before that he could leave Ji Xingyuan’s side and have a life of his own, then he no longer has it now.

He is like the remaining embers after burning. He has lost all the strength to love and no longer wants to change.

In this case, why bother to involve and delay Fu Jun anymore.

On the evening of the last day of the May vacation, Fu Jun sent Qi Feiluan another message and asked him if he wanted to go for a walk. He found a very good private kitchen restaurant near Qi Feiluan’s house. It only took about 20 minutes to walk there.

The climate and scenery of the capital city in May are both good. They can enjoy the sunset in the evening, take a walk to eat after the meal, and enjoy the last night of their vacation.

Moreover, Qi Feiluan has just been fitted with a left leg prosthesis, so it would be best to do more walking exercises to get used to it.During the process of walking to a meal and then back, if Qi Feiluan’s prosthetic limb is not running properly, he can give him a final adjustment so that he can be more relaxed and comfortable when he returns to work in the next working day.

Along with his message, the menu of the private chef’s restaurant was sent to Qi Feiluan, so that Qi Feiluan could see if the private chef’s restaurant suited his taste.If it’s suitable, you can order it in advance. When you walk over and arrive at the restaurant in 20 minutes, the restaurant will have the dishes ready. If it’s not suitable, you can reconsider. There is no need to walk over and find that the dishes are not to your taste.

It can be said that Fu Jun’s proposal took all aspects into consideration, and anyone else would probably happily go ahead with the appointment.

Qi Feiluan was helpless. The more thorough, considerate, and appropriate Fu Jun’s invitation was, the more difficult it would be for him to refuse.

When Qi Feiluan was thinking about how to refuse, Qi’s father, who was at home on vacation, came over and said, “Do you have an appointment tonight?”

Qi Feiluan looked at Qi’s father, thinking that Fu Jun had contacted Qi’s father, Qi’s father would definitely guess.

“Yes.” Qi Feiluan lowered his eyes and said, “Fu Jun.”

“Isn’t that great? Are you going to go on a date with him?” Qi x’s father asked.

Qi Feiluan did not answer, but Qi’s father saw his hesitation and rejection. Qi’s father organized his words and said as gently as possible: “I talked to Mr. Ji, and he said that he would never interfere in your life like before. I believe that he is a person who will keep his words. Fei Luan, in addition to Mr. Ji letting go, you also have to get out of that past and have your own life.”

“Didn’t you and Fu Jun get along well at first?”

Qi’s father is not good at expressing himself, and he is also afraid that Qi Feiluan will regard his words as his parents’ orders. He continued: “I don’t mean to force you or put pressure on you. We have not fulfilled our obligations as parents before, and we are not qualified to ask you to do anything now. Just take it as an advice given to you by an older friend. You can try to get along with Fu Jun again. If you like each other, stay together. If you don’t feel it, separate, just follow your own wishes. I just hope that you can… you can live happily.”

Just give it a try?

Qi Feiluan nodded to Qi’s father. He really didn’t think about how to refuse Fu Jun and said, “I won’t eat at home that night.”

Father Qi smiled and patted his shoulder, turned and left.

Qi Feiluan replied to Fu Jun and sent the dishes he had chosen.

Fu Jun, who received the message, immediately replied: [I’ll send it to the private chef, wait for me, I’ll be there soon.】

The temperature in the capital rose in early May. Considering that he was going to go to the private kitchen, Qi Feiluan wore a black stand-up collar shirt and a pair of trousers. He habitually buttoned the stand-up collar to the top, which made the collar appear somewhat empty.

Wearing a tie or bow tie would seem too formal, so Qi Feiluan chose a silver necklace as a decoration.

It was exactly six o’clock in the evening when Fu Jun arrived. When Qi Feiluan received the news and opened the door, he was stung by the bright red light outside and couldn’t help but close his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Fu Jun with a smile and… Ji Xingyuan who got off the parked vehicle in the distance.

The setting sun was dying in the sky, and the thin clouds in the sky were ignited by the sunlight, like a curtain of fire covering the sky.

Qi Feiluan and the other three were each coated with a layer of red light. Although the rays of the setting sun were not actually that hot, the three of them seemed to be about to be ignited at this moment.

Qi Feiluan looked past Fu Jun at Ji Xingyuan, who was striding towards them. Fu Jun did not look back, but laughed first and said to Qi Feiluan: “Good evening, Fei Luan, shall we set off now?”

Ji Xingyuan walked from behind Fu Jun and stood next to Fu Jun. He also did not look at Fu Jun. Instead, he stared at Qi Feiluan. Before Qi Feiluan spoke, he said, “I made a reservation at Yunta Restaurant. Aluan, will you come with me?”

Qi Feiluan looked at the red clouds in the distance and was a little confused for a moment. Today should be just an ordinary day. It is neither Valentine’s Day nor any other festival, but the two of them came to ask Qi Feiluan and bumped into each other.

No, Qi Feiluan didn’t think they necessarily bumped into each other.

Standing in front of him, Ji Xingyuan was still wearing a suit that he only wore at work. Although it seemed to others to be as fit and formal as it was, this was obviously not the attire for inviting people to dine at Yunta Restaurant.

Ji Xingyuan came here on purpose, and Qi Feiluan knew the reason without having to guess.

Ji Xingyuan could hear his voice, probably because when he was talking to Qi’s father, Ji Xingyuan heard that he agreed to go on a date with Fu Jun.

Qi Feiluan’s silence made Ji Xingyuan feel uneasy for the first time. He had been trying his best to restrain himself during this period. He would not monitor Qi Feiluan in real time. He would only play a recording when he was relaxing at the end of the day.

He longed to hear Qi Feiluan’s voice. Only when he heard Qi Feiluan’s voice could he break away from the suppressed madness for a few seconds and gain a moment of calm.

Even if Qi Feiluan doesn’t talk often, the recording often shows the other party talking a lot, and Qi Feiluan only replies one or two words, which are like scattered treasures.He endured and wasted his time in the lengthy recording, just to hear Qi Feiluan’s voice that might appear in the next second.

But today’s recording automatically switched to real-time monitoring at the end, and he heard the conversation between Qi’s father and Qi Feiluan.

Ji Xingyuan couldn’t restrain himself anymore. He hurried here and stood with a Beta whom he would not have looked down upon in the past, to fight for a chance to date Qi Feiluan.

“A Luan…” Ji Xingyuan moved his lips with difficulty, calling Qi Feiluan as if pleading.

For Ji Xingyuan, he had never lowered his profile so low.

Fu Jun is just a Beta. A powerless Beta can stand side by side with him on the same stage and compete. Moreover, he has no guarantee of winning this competition.

If someone had said this to Ji Xingyuan before today, Ji Xingyuan would have dismissed it.

Ji Xingyuan is an Alpha and the leader of the Ji family. He is born in a different world from Betas like Fu Jun. Fu Jun has never been qualified to be his competitor.If Grantham knew that he actually had to compete with a Beta like Fu Jun, and that he would probably not be able to compete, Grantham would definitely laugh at him without hesitation.

Of course, he could directly order Qi Feiluan to follow him, but what would be the point? In that case, he would actually lose the competition and become a complete loser.

But if Qi Feiluan was allowed to make a choice without orders, he would actually be at a disadvantage.

He and Fu Jun stood on opposite ends of the scale, and Qi Feiluan’s heart was the only weight. Whichever side it fell on, that side had everything.

If it were before, Ji Xingyuan could be blindly confident that he was holding on to that weight.

But now, that weight has its own will. Will it choose Fu Jun, who was once close to it, or Ji Xingyuan, who once hurt it?
