Cheng Chen, who couldn’t stop vomiting, was surrounded by a group of people who were concerned about him!
Ji Chen also went over and took a look at him, even said a few words of hypocritical concern.
“Cheng Chen, what’s wrong with you?”
“Are you okay?”
“I told you not to get up there, Jiang Xuan drives a racing car differently from an ordinary car, he has always been crazy when driving a racing car, you see what happened, right?”
Cheng Chen was so dizzy that he couldn’t even utter a word of rebuttal, and he didn’t dare to say it either!
Jiang Xuan’s words of warning are still ringing in his ears1言猶在耳 (yán yóu zài ěr): words still ringing in one’s ears (idiom); sb’s words are still ringing/reverberating in one’s ears; sb’s words/promises are still fresh in one’s mind., he wasn’t shocked, he was frightened.
Although Ji Chen showed concern for him, he didn’t come forward to hug him or anything, on the contrary, there were two boys who held him tightly next to him, Ji Chen remembered that these were probably a group of dandies that Jiang Xuan usually didn’t paid much attention to.
Didn’t expect Cheng Chen to like hanging out with these people, they didn’t realize before that Cheng Chen actually so indiscriminate in choosing friends.
“If you’re fine, I’ll leave first, I’ll call you next time I come out.”
Ji Chen spoke in a polite manner, no longer cared about his buddy’s younger brother.
“Brother Ji Chen, wait…” Cheng Chen struggled to stand up, he looked very weak, he is now really very weak, not pretending.
Ji Chen stood still and waited for him, but didn’t extend a helping hand, not only was he smiling, but also as gentle as ever2一如既往 (yī rú jì wǎng): just as in the past (idiom); just as before; continuing as always; Means that the attitude has not changed, exactly as before.: “What?”
Cheng Chen find it hard to speak3難以啟齒 (nán yǐ qǐ chǐ): to be too embarrassed to mention sth (idiom); to find it hard to speak about sth; to find it difficult to speak about something; be too shy to speak out; have a bone in the throat., he asked: “Brother Jiang Xuan, why did he…”
Ji Chen played dumb: “What about Jiang Xuan?”
Cheng Chen used his usual aggrieved tone and said: “Why does he hate me so much? Why so cruel to me, did I do something wrong somewhere?”
Ji Chen looked at Cheng Chen who was still put on an act4裝模作樣 (zhuāng mó zuò yàng): to put on an act (idiom); to show affectation; to indulge in histrionics; to behave in an affected way; Refers to deliberately contrived, pretentious. at this moment, feeling extremely disappointed.
He thought to himself, while Cheng Chen was pretending to be gentle and lovely, not only did he find someone to beat him up, but he also maliciously slandered him behind his back.
Who is Lin Zimao? He is now the cherished5心心念念 (xīn xīn niàn niàn): set one’s heart (on sth); long for; constantly think of; cherish the desire of; keep thinking about…; constantly thinking of…; anxiously longing for…; Always thinking about it; Refers to want to do something or get something. treasure of Jiang Xuan’s heart, but Cheng Chen has repeatedly crossed his bottom line, Jiang Xuan only lightly punished him by shaking him twice with the car, which could be considered leniency due to their families being neighbors for many years, it’s hard to say whether he will be beaten the next time they meet.
In the future, it is estimated that there will be no more involvement with the Cheng family, and they will gradually distance themselves from the Cheng family.
They won’t make friends with such insidious backstabbing villains, not only Jiang Xuan but also Ji Chen thinks the same way.
Besides, after Jiang Xuan warned Cheng Chen not to touch Lin Zimao for the first time, Cheng Chen once again challenged his bottom line, today it was Cheng Chen who sent himself to the door, so who’s to blame?
Ji Chen sighed: “Don’t you know what you have done?”
Cheng Chen’s tone was very insistent: “I didn’t do anything to him.”
Ji Chen felt that Cheng Chen’s brain circuit was very magical: “Then do you think it’s okay to do it to others?”
Cheng Chen said: “I didn’t do anything too much! What does it have to do with Brother Jiang Xuan?”
Ji Chen really wanted to scold him for being stubborn, but thinking about it, this was not his brother, in the past, he really treated him well for Jiang Xuan’s sake, but later he found out that Jiang Xuan had no interest in him at all, everything was directed and acted by himself, even he, a veteran in love, have been deceived, Cheng Chen is really good at deceiving people.
Of course, he didn’t have the patience to educate people, Ji Chen was too lazy to say anything more: “You should think about it yourself, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”
Cheng Chen hurriedly explained: “Brother Ji Chen, please help me, I really like Brother Jiang Xuan! I’m doing all this for Brother Jiang Xuan! I really do it for his own good.”
Ji Chen just smiled: “You’d better say this in front of Jiang Xuan.”
Cheng Chen is still sick to his stomach, he doesn’t dare to look for Jiang Xuan, he’s a bit afraid of Jiang Xuan now.
Ji Chen didn’t care about him anymore, but when he returned to the car, Jiang Xuan had been sitting in the car in a daze for a while.
Cheng Chen’s little tricks behind his back, Jiang Xuan knows everything clearly.
Ji Chen hired a private detective to verify what Cheng Chen had done in high school, he has bullied students, suppressed students, and also ruined the bright future of the students, he even privately sent people to beat boys or girls who confessed to Jiang Xuan, his behavior is shameful.
Jiang Xuan and Ji Chen read the investigation report sent by the private detective, the content is unusually brilliant6精彩紛呈 (jīng cǎi fēn chéng): unusually brilliant (idiom); with high lights; hundreds of high lights; means that beautiful scenes and things are presented one after another in front of one’s eyes., the report is accompanied by video and evidence, a student also gave a video of the assault at that time, Cheng Chen also appeared in the video, didn’t hit nor curse anyone, he stood aside, his eyes cold and indifferent.
Ji Chen asked Jiang Xuan if he should inform Cheng Xi about this matter, Jiang Xuan asked him, Cheng Xi and Cheng Chen usually go in and out together, would he not know anything about his own biological brother actions?
Maybe Cheng Xi is even an accomplice on Cheng Chen’s path of making mistakes, why is he so fearless7有恃無恐 (yǒu shì wú kǒng): secure in the knowledge that one has backing; No fear or scruples because of the stick; feel secure in the knowledge of strong backing (from sb)； to be emboldened in the knowledge that one has backing; to fear nothing with someone at one’s back., perhaps he is using the family’s name as protection, it’s possible that he also leveraging the Jiang family’s name, after all, Cheng Chen often intentionally or otherwise, creates the impression that they have a bamboo horse relationship.
Ji Chen said that Cheng Chen is too scary.
Jiang Xuan asked Ji Chen, has he investigated the Cheng family? What’s the situation now?
Given Cheng Chen’s ruthless and indifferent character, is it inseparable from the Cheng family, Cheng Chen may just be trying to get close to him, rather than genuinely liking him.
Ji Chen then took out another report on the Cheng family’s current business situation.
The Cheng family is already in a desperate situation.
Jiang Xuan and Ji Chen were both confused, why did Cheng Xi and Cheng Chen never mentioned anything about their Cheng family?
It seems that Cheng Chen’s love for Jiang Xuan is not pure.
Maybe they really want to use their relationship with Jiang Xuan to climb up to the Jiang family, and then form an alliance with the Cheng family by marriage, so that the Jiang family can give the Cheng family a hand.
But what exactly is the situation with the Cheng family, perhaps they are too familiar with them, and therefore not paying much attention to it.
Today, Jiang Xuan only warned Cheng Chen to stay away from him, now that he has Lin Zimao, he naturally won’t involve himself in the Cheng family’s matters.
Whether the Cheng family is good or bad has nothing to do with him.
Of course, it is necessary to be cautious and vigilant.
In the past, he was too Buddha-like8太過佛系 (tài guò Fó xì): A way of life that takes everything lightly; A peaceful mind that does not take things for granted and does not grieve for oneself, and does not fight for or grab anything, it doesn’t matter; Japanese media once called men who like to stay alone, pay attention to their own hobbies and life rhythms, and don’t want to waste time on dating as “Buddhist men”. 
, which allowed others to take advantage9趁虛而入 (chèn xū ér rù): avail oneself of the opportunity to get in; to enter or invade by exploiting of one’s opponent’s unpreparedness or weakness; to break through a weak point or advance when one’s opponent is off guard; take advantage of a weak point. of him, of course, this may also have a lot to do with the arrangement of the Cheng family.
Thinking about it now, it seems extremely hypocritical and scheming for Cheng Chen’s family to become Jiang Xuan’s neighbors.
After the race, Jiang Xuan didn’t feel more relaxed, but instead felt even downcast.
Ji Chen had no choice but to say goodbye to his racing friends, instead, he took Jiang Xuan to the bar.
The two of them drank until late at night, Jiang Xuan capacity for liquor is really good, he felt a bit annoyed by his own high alcohol tolerance, Ji Chen was almost drunk, but he was still incredibly sober, more sober than ever before.
In the end, he went home by himself.
The house was deserted, Jiaoyan didn’t come to greet him.
When he got to the second floor, he quietly went to Lin Zimao’s door to take a look at him, he was asleep on the bed.
Because Jiaoyan had to go to the bathroom at night, Lin Zimao rarely locked the door.
Surrounded by his own alcohol scent, he didn’t dare to get too close, looking at the looming silhouette, he thought he was sleeping peacefully.
With a hint of resentment, Jiang Xuan returned to his room.
Sure enough, Lin Zimao didn’t care about him at all.
Over the course of the weekend, Jiang Xuan relocated all the design-related matters to the study on the third floor to finish, or went to the school laboratory.
When Lin Zimao was downstairs, he stayed upstairs, and when Lin Zimao returned to his room, he went downstairs to find something to eat.
The two of them lived a life avoiding each other, it seems to be the same as at the beginning, no more intersections, neither wanted to be outdone10不甘示弱 (bù gān shì ruò): to be unwilling to be outdone; not to be outdone; Not reconciled to express that one are worse than others., as if the first one to speak would be the loser.
This kind of life continued throughout the entire weekend.
Jiang Xuan stayed up for two nights and finally completed his work, and submitted the entries one day before the deadline.
Lin Zimao has been feeling quite depressed these past two days.
Jiang Xuan himself is also suffering, he didn’t notice the heavy dark circles under Lin Zimao’s eyes before going to school in the morning.
After Lin Zimao stopped updating the ‘Pursuit Post’, moreover, there were witnesses who proved that Jiang Xuan rejected Lin Zimao, on the one hand, everyone was worried about him, but on the other hand, they were all happy, School Grass Jiang should be beautiful on his own!
It would be best if no one interfered with the other.
On Monday, Lin Zimao followed Su Ran, Wang Yi, and others like a wandering ghost, attending classes and having meals together, at noon, without even noticing, he followed Su Ran and the others back to their dormitory, and then, feeling too lazy to run, he took a nap on Wang Yi’s bed.
Wang Yi had to go play a ball game in the afternoon, so Lin Zimao could occupy his bed and take a nap.
Actually, he didn’t sleep very soundly, Lin Zimao noticed that there was a strange smell in Wang Yi’s bed. Thinking back, he used to sleep on a bed with this kind of masculine scent, but now he actually thinks that his previous life was really miserable, a comfortable environment could indeed make people decadent.
Having someone take care of the house and keeping it clean is a beautiful thing, this kind of beauty was something he had never dared to imagine before.
In the past, life was simple and unsophisticated, it’s good as long as he could eat and drink enough, and it was considered good if he could take care of himself.
Now, Jiang Xuan makes him feel an unprecedented warmth, he feels that he may not be able to live without Jiang Xuan, who has a bit of cleanliness obsession.
It’s only been two days, but he feels so uncomfortable just like his heart and lungs are scratched.
He deeply regrets the words he said to Jiang Xuan that day, if he had heard those words, he would have felt very upset.
He doesn’t want to leave Jiang Xuan, nor does he want Jiang Xuan to leave him.
If he had to leave, can he take Jiang Xuan away with him?
But he even gets dizzy from getting into a the mecha, can he accept the jump point?
There are still so many issues between them…
Is Jiang Xuan willing to leave planet Feige, where he has lived for twenty years, with him?
He didn’t want to think about it before, but now that he’s considering it, there are so many complicated matters to deal with.
He couldn’t stay depressed anymore, he hadn’t even asked or done anything about it, so how could he know it wouldn’t work? There are always more solutions than there are difficulties11辦法總比困難多 (bànfǎ zǒng bǐ kùnnán duō): The methods of solving problems are more than problems itself, meaning, as long as one work hard and think hard, one will always solve the problem; It means to encourage people to build confidence when facing difficulties, respond positively, and always come up with solutions to difficulties..
During class in the afternoon, he took out his communicator, while hesitating whether to send a message to Jiang Xuan, he accidentally swiped to the Moments interface.
Then when he simply swipe down and down, he came across the content posted by Cheng Chen on Friday night!
He was sitting in Jiang Xuan’s car, and they actually went racing together!
Lin Zimao felt that his heart was about to explode, how could Jiang Xuan go so far?
He angrily turned off the communicator and threw it into his backpack, not going to look at it again.
Why is he still staying with Cheng Chen, didn’t he say they have nothing to do with each other? Didn’t he say that he didn’t like Cheng Chen?
A big liar!
The atmospheric pressure around Lin Zimao dropped a lot again.
Su Ran, Wang Yi and the others expressed their helplessness, why does this lovelorn energy pass so slowly?
Sigh.
In the evening, Lin Zimao went home alone, Jiang Xuan was not there.
Jiaoyan lay on the sofa, looking weakly at him, the cry is also soft, which sounds very pitiful.
“Jiaoyan, what’s wrong with you?”
Jiaoyan rubbed hard against his arms, meowed twice, seemed particularly frail.
Lin Zimao couldn’t determine if it was sick or not, so he decided to take it to the hospital for a checkup.
Before even putting down his backpack, he stuffed Jiaoyan into the cat carrier and carried it out the door.
At this time, Jiang Xuan finally no longer has to go to the laboratory, he came home earlier today than he did two days ago.
He thought about it for two days, whether Lin Zimao liked his face or something else, first of all, the one who can’t live without him now is himself, why did he have to be so melodramatic?
He specially went to the cake shop and bought Lin Zimao’s favorite mousse cake, he wanted to apologize to him properly.
However, after returning home, Jiang Xuan found that the house was even quieter than the previous two days.
There was no sound of Jiaoyan welcoming him, nor the occasional sight of Lin Zimao in the living room.
Where were the people? Where was the cat?
Where did they go?
Jiang Xuan suddenly panicked!
He went upstairs to look, but there was no one, and no cat!
He shouted in a panic:
“Lin Zimao!”
“Jiaoyan!”
There was only echoes from the empty house, no answer.
This is the lifestyle that Jiang Xuan used to live, but now he feels both strange and afraid of this kind of desolation.
He ran downstairs again, and found that there was no cat carrier in the place where he usually kept it.
Jiang Xuan ran out of the door without even putting on his shoes.
He stood at the door in a panic, with only snowflakes falling on his face.
The first snowfall on planet Feige.
This position where he stood was the same spot where he saw Lin Zimao standing for the second time.
He kept calling Lin Zimao’s communicator, but no one answered, at the end, only a mechanical female voice came, asking him if he wanted to leave a message.
Jiang Xuan felt utterly at a loss.
He hasn’t even apologized yet, how could Lin Zimao leave with Jiaoyan!
The title of this chapter is an idiom, 離家出走 (lí jiā chū zǒu): to run away from home; to elope; to leave home (to live somewhere else).
