2.Precisely a Fondness of Scenes of Bloody Slaughter

Afterwards, Fu Yuan did not take the initiative to speak to Xie He again.

After the evening party, Xie He refused the invitations from his other friends and headed over to his vehicle in the parking lot. As soon as he opened the car door, he noticed Fu Yuan emerging from the shadows. Fu Yuan smiled, “Where is the great Film Emperor hurrying off to?”

Xie He smiled back in response, “Home.”

Fu Yuan slowly walked over, smile profound, “Back to your place or Yi Ze’s?”

There was a trace of displeasure in Xie He’s tone, “President Fu, don’t you think you’re meddling too much?”

Fu Yuan’s expression softened as he said, “Can’t you see that I like you?”

Xie He finally could no longer escape because of these frank words. He looked at Fu Yuan and spoke seriously, “Since President Fu knows about the relationship between President Yi and I, you shouldn’t say such things that would cause a person to misunderstand.”

Fu Yuan didn’t mind and smiled again, “I’m very serious. I’m not afraid of people misunderstanding. Think about it. You can leave Yi Ze and be with me. I will treat you better.”

Xie He stepped around him and pulled the car door open wider, “Apologies, I must leave.”

Fu Yuan did not stop him. He only said insipidly, “Why are you so hell-bent on Yi Ze? It can’t be that you’ve fallen for him, ba.”

He stared at Xie He’s side profile, an interested smile in his eyes, “You love him like this. Then, do you know that the only reason that he’s allowed you to stay by his side is because your face looks very similar to that of someone else?”

Xie He’s expression instantly froze. Although he knew that Fu Yuan would certainly incite disharmony between them, this pleasant surprise was too awesome and too sudden!

There was a satisfied smile on Fu Yuan’s face, “What? Did you actually not know this?”

Xie He pursed his lips and looked at him, wariness in his eyes, “President Fu, what are you trying to do?”

Fu Yuan shrugged with a smile, “I’m not trying to do anything. I just can’t bear to see you left in the dark like this, because I love you. I’m telling you this with good intentions. If you make some inquiries, you’ll naturally find out that I’m not deceiving you.”

Xie He looked at him. A moment later, he gradually regained his professional smile and nodded, “Many thanks to President Fu. I understand. Unfortunately, I cannot consider your proposal. I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you.”

His eyes were clear and resolute. He nodded towards Fu Yuan once more before driving away.

Fu Yuan watched Xie He leave. He recalled the other’s expression just now, and his heart stirred....He had made out that flash of shock and loss in Xie He’s eyes at the very beginning of their conversation. However, the other had still determinedly refused him in the end. Even if Yi Ze was only using him as a substitute for someone else, he could not sway him from staying with Yi Ze.

Fu Yuan had never expected that Xie He’s love for Yi Ze would be so deep and firm. It only increased his desire to steal him away all the more.

?Ding, Fu Yuan’s Favourability Value +5. The current Favourability Value is 80.?

Xie He returned home and casually placed the award on his desk. He recalled Fu Yuan’s words and smiled. It was really a case of someone giving him a pillow just as he was getting drowsy. So, this was the reason why, although Yi Ze despised Si Minghui, he would let him stay by his side for so many years. This would explain the abnormality with the Favourability Value. A substitute ah, that’s a bit difficult. Regardless, he liked it.

?444?Host dada, what do we do? You’re actually a substitute. QAQ?

?Xie He?The plan does not need to change. Use my face to find for whom I’m supposed to be a substitute. ?

?444?(?v?) Mn!?

&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;

For the next two days, Xie He followed Si Minghui’s schedule and worked. He participated in several interviews arranged by his manager, Wei Zhangqin. Because he had just received the Best Actor award, his reputation had increased yet another step. Many investors wanted him to act in their projects.

Xie He took a look and picked one of the scripts. He had Wei Zhangqin go talk to the other party.

Wei Zhangqin was a little surprised by the script Xie He had chosen. He hadn’t chosen one with a big budget and had instead chosen a well-known independent filmmaker’s script about homosexuality. Wei Zhangqin tried to persuade Xie He out of it. He had just been conferred an award. There was no need to be in such a rush to act in yet another artistic film. He could choose to first film another entertainment blockbuster. After all, that would have the widest audience. Moreover, homosexuality...Wei Zhangqin wasn’t really willing to let Xie He touch this. He knew that Si Minghui had always been kept by Yi Ze. Because of this, Si Minghui naturally didn’t queer bait like a lot of other entertainers did for fun. He didn’t want Si Minghui to be involved with the matter of homosexuality too much. Don’t look at how high people’s tolerance was right now. If Si Minghui’s scandal of being kept by a man was to be exposed, everything he had worked for would be destroyed in a moment.

However, Xie He was determined, so Wei Zhangqin couldn’t do anything. He couldn’t persuade him and could only help him accept the script.

At the same time, 444 was able to find the white moonlight.

Xie He looked at the photo. The man in the photo was 70-80% like him. Only, his aura was quite different from his own. Si Minghui’s features were deep and bright. He was handsome and cold. Meanwhile, Jian Zihan had softer features. He seemed much more reserved.

He was Yi Ze’s underclassman. He came from a family of literary reputation. His family circumstances were good, and he was charismatic. Yi Ze had been frivolous in his youth. He played a lot back then, and there were a countless number of people who were willing to be played by him. The only one who did not fall for him was Jian Zihan. From then on, he could never forget him. Jian Zihan disdained Yi Ze though. Therefore, in order to avoid being tangled up with Yi Ze, he directly went to study abroad. Right now, he was a clothing designer.

From this, Xie He once again reconfirmed that what one could not obtain was what was good in one’s eyes.

In Yi Ze’s eyes, Jian Zihan, who was noble, virtuous, talented, and would not submit to the secular world, was perfect like a cloud in the sky. Meanwhile, Si Minghui, who had attained his position in the entertainment industry by selling his body, was lowly like the dirt on the ground. Although they had similar faces, their positions in his heart were as far apart as the cloud and the mud.

Xie He smiled. Only, it was difficult to get rid of mud once stained.

?Xie He?Actually, I also quite like Jian Zihan. He is a very rational person. Moreover, he has his own opinions and goals. ?

?444?How can you tell??

?Xie He?The only reason Yi Ze cannot forget about Jian Zihan is because he can’t have him. If he had gotten him, who knows how long he would have continued to like him? Looking at Yi Ze’s past and present, it’s obvious that he doesn’t care to keep himself chaste. Strictly speaking, his love doesn’t take up much of his heart. It doesn’t matter who the other is. It’s an issue with his view on love. Before he liked Jian Zihan, he was a playboy. Even after falling for Jian Zihan, he still incessantly sleeps with substitutes. He doesn’t know what genuine, equal love is. If you truly loved someone more than anything else in the world, you would not do this. This kind of person is a very good f*ck buddy. As a lover, you would only get hurt. Jian Zihan certainly could see that his nature would be difficult to change. Moreover, he really didn’t like Yi Ze, so he firmly rejected him. This was because Yi Ze could not give him the love that he wanted. If you want to make someone like Yi Ze faithful, both sides would have to sustain substantial losses. It’s not worth it. Jian Zihan, from start to finish, knew what he wanted and what he didn’t. Moreover, he had always been very resolute. In any case...I really like Jian Zihan’s type. As soon as you see him, you know that he’s gentle and caring. Smile.JPG?

?444?......?

?Xie He?Men. Although they like obedient and subservient toys, beauties who can stand with them on equal footing certainly have higher positions in their hearts. If I was Yi Ze, I would also choose Jian Zihan.?

444?Indeed, Host dada is of one mind with these scum gongs, ne... Fortunately he can’t OOC, or else Jian Zihan would not be able to escape from his evil clutches! _(:???)_

That day, after Xie He had left, Yi Ze directly threw the invitation into the trash. Xie He was nothing but a toy that he was keeping. When his mood was good, he would give the other some face, but he would never personally go out of his way to attend that kind of occasion to better his reputation.

This time, Yi Ze gave Xie He the cold-shoulder for quite a long period of time. Originally, he had thought that Xie He would question him. Who would have expected that Xie He would have no reaction? It was like he had never brought up this matter at all. Therefore, Yi Ze threw this matter to the back of his head. As long as Xie He didn’t come to annoy him, then he didn’t care what his lover thought.

Xie He also didn’t take the initiative to communicate with Yi Ze. He just waited for the next time Yi Ze called for him.

It was the same villa as last time. Only, Yi Ze wasn’t in the study but in the living room waiting for him this time.

He beckoned Xie He over with his hand, voice cold, “Come here.”

Xie He looked at him, a concealed complexity within his eyes. He walked over and called out respectfully, “Yi ge.”

He didn’t ask about anything. Yi Ze calling him over was a frequent thing.

Today, Yi Ze’s mood wasn’t very good. His previous bed partner had actually acted beyond their own abilities and tried to blackmail him, wasting some of his time while he tried to solve matters. He thought, and he thought, and Si Minghui was still the most lovable, obedient one, who never caused a fuss. Therefore, he called him over.

He looked at Xie He’s face. His face was really so similar to that of Jian Zihan. It was just that they were different internally....

Xie He bit his lips, burrowing his face into the sofa. He didn’t know if it was because of the pain or the sadness, but tears flowed out. Although he had acted very calm in front of Fu Yuan, he was feeling unwell inside. He had been by Yi Ze’s side for eight years. He had thought that he was a bit different from the rest...now, he knew just what that difference was. It was because he looked very similar to the person Yi Ze liked.

It was because of this that Yi Ze had chosen him at that time. It was because of this that Yi Ze had kept him by his side all this time.

The cruel reality shattered his vain hope into pieces.

The person he loved dearly only thought of him as another’s substitute. Whenever he thought of this, it would hurt so much that it would become hard to breathe. But, he didn’t even have the qualifications to ask about this. He even had to pretend that he didn’t know. This was because he was nothing to begin with.

He was afraid that as soon as he asked, he wouldn’t even have the right to stay.

Yi Ze didn’t care about how the person below him felt at all. Only after he finished satisfying his lust did he finally realize something was off about Xie He. The person beneath him had never made a sound. His actions were stiffer than before.

Yi Ze directly pulled Xie He up by his hair. He discovered that he was biting his lips, eyes full of tears. Yi Ze’s expression grew cold. Instantly, he lost all interest. He had thought that Xie He was a tactful person. It turned out that he was just waiting for him to call him over to express his discontent over his not showing up to the awards ceremony, ne....He didn’t even consider his own status and actually dared to show him his temper.

“Who are you crying for?” Yi Ze pinched Xie He’s chin, long and narrow eyes unfeeling.

Xie He didn’t want to cry. He knew that he wanted to please his patron, but he just couldn’t hold it in. He choked, “I’m sorry...I’m sorry....”

Yi Ze looked at him, expression frosty, “Why are you crying?”

Xie He was flustered, “No reason....”

Yi Ze’s eyes grew even colder. He actually dared to hide something from him?

Xie He had been by Yi Ze’s side for many years. He could discern what the other was thinking just from his body language. He was afraid that Yi Ze was really angry, so he pondered for a moment before whispering, “It just hurts a bit....”

Yi Ze didn’t believe him. He let go of Xie He’s chin and directly kicked him off the sofa. What he hated the most were petty-minded people.

It had been just a few short seconds, but there was already a red thumb print on his chin. It was clear just how much force Yi Ze had used. Xie He curled up on the carpet, looking extremely miserable.

“Yi ge, I—I really didn’t do it on purpose. Don’t be mad...” Xie He said, pleading with his eyes. He looked at him as he stammered, black irises full of caution and suppressed, heavy love. His eyes shone like fish scales in the sun, making people unable to help but feel tenderhearted.

Yi Ze looked at his expression and ended up staring blankly at him. He viscerally hated when his bed partners did this. However, when he looked at Xie He, it felt like he was looking at the boy from eight years ago again. The first time he had been entered by him, he also looked lovely and pitiful like this. He had cried plaintively, but after that time, it never happened again....The boy grew up bit by bit and began to understand how to please him. He could do anything in bed and had never acted pitiful again.

It’d been so long...he’d already forgotten what he looked like in the beginning.

The person before him had stayed by his side for eight years. It was only natural for him to develop some presumptuous thoughts. When Yi Ze thought of this, his anger lessened.

?Ding, the target, Yi Ze’s Favourability Value +10. The current Favourability Value is 50.?

Although Yi Ze was not that angry anymore, he still didn’t plan on indulging Xie He. With a glacial voice, he said, “If you don’t want to stay with me, you can say it outright. I’ll give you the necessary compensation for the break up.”

Xie He was immediately alarmed, “No! That’s not it! I didn’t have that intention!”

Yi Ze looked down at him, “Then, don’t act so wronged. Don’t forget what our relationship is. Don’t think about what you shouldn’t. If you listen, I naturally will not treat you unfairly.”

Xie He cast his gaze downwards and gritted his teeth, “I understand.”

Yi Ze chuckled, “It’s for the best that you understand.”

Xie He knew that they could not continue today. He didn’t dare to beg or nag Yi Ze, in case he made him any angrier. He crawled up and dressed himself, leaving without a sound.

Yi Ze watched Xie He leave, sneering.

Even after nearly a month, Yi Ze did not contact Xie He again. It was clear that he was planning on giving him the cold-shoulder once more.

?Xie He?Baby, did you install that tracking software into Yi Ze’s phone last time??

?444?Yes! \(???)/?

?Xie He?Very good. It’s time to stage a beautiful “chance encounter.” :)?

Giving him the cold-shoulder like this, Yi Ze probably really forgot about him. However, he couldn’t take the initiative to beg Yi Ze as that would only make Yi Ze disdain him more. The Favourability Value would be even harder to increase. Therefore, it was time for him to make Yi Ze feel threatened. Yi Ze had to realize that Si Minghui was no longer that poor boy who no one had wanted. Right now, he was already very outstanding and extremely popular.

To make Yi Ze renew his understanding of Si Minghui in a new light was Xie He’s first plan of action.

From that day on, Fu Yuan began to pursue Xie He in full swing. However, Xie He evaded him the whole time.

Today, Xie He left his film set, and Fu Yuan was once again waiting for him outside. He smiled very patiently, “Let’s eat together, hm?”

Xie He was silent for a while and said, “I get to choose the place.”

Glee flitted through Fu Yuan’s eyes. This was the first time Xie He had not refused him, so he acted like a gentleman, “OK.”

Xie He chose a refined restaurant. He sat before Fu Yuan, not beating around the bush as he directly said, “President Fu, please don’t come looking for me again in the future.”

The smile on Fu Yuan’s face dimmed.

Xie He looked at him directly in the eyes, tone sincere, “Thank you for liking me. It’s just that I owe President Yi, and I really like him. I can’t leave him. Perhaps my attitude before was not clear enough, causing you to misunderstand. I hope that today, I can make things clear to you, face-to-face.”

Fu Yuan’s shrewdness made him unable to display any obvious signs of displeasure. He looked at Xie He with a profound gaze, “But, he doesn’t like you in the least. You still want to stay by his side even if it’s like this?”

There was deep love and forbearance in Xie He’s eyes. He slowly smiled, “Yes. So long as I can stay by his side, I don’t mind.”

Fu Yuan stared at Xie He’s face. On that handsome face was a gentle smile...It felt like there was a hook in his heart, tugging. He knew that the person before him loved another man, but he still wanted to take him for his own.

This kind of beauty, captivation, and loyalty was truly rare.

Fu Yuan lightly tapped the table with his index finger, the corner of his mouth raising. He slowly said, “Only, sometimes, you can’t stay just because you want to. Today, I present you another piece of information. Jian Zihan...right, you should already know who Jian Zihan is, ba?”

Xie He’s expression changed slightly, nervousness appearing in his eyes.

Fu Yuan could easily tell with one glance. He smiled, “Jian Zihan is about to return. If he comes back, do you think Yi Ze will tolerate you staying by his side?”

All the colour drained from Xie He’s face. Fright appeared in his eyes, his hands clenched tight.

Fu Yuan’s eyes darkened. He got up and walked until he stood in front of Xie He and bent down. He spoke into the other’s ear, hot air blowing onto Xie He’s face, tone enticing, “Yi Ze won’t want you. He’s never cared about you. How about considering me? I won’t treat you like that. I’ll treat you very well.”

Xie He, however, continued to be in a daze. He didn’t react.

At this time, Yi Ze walked out from a private room within the restaurant. Glancing around, he saw Xie He sitting in the booth by the window and Fu Yuan bent over, lips by the other’s ear. The two of them appeared extremely close like a pair of lovers. Fu Yuan’s expression was gentle as if he would kiss the other at any time.

Suddenly, Yi Ze’s gaze turned cold as ice.
