6. Three Person Scene of Bloody Slaughter

Jian Zihan comforted him with a soft voice, “You can’t force someone to have feelings for you. Since it’s like this, why won’t you leave him and find a love for yourself? There are definitely people who want to give you their love.”

Xie He’s eyelashes fluttered. “But I only like him...” After saying this, he finally felt like he was on the edge of falling apart and hating himself. He laughed, “It’s not his fault. It’s because I’m no good. I’m not worthy of his love. I don’t deserve to be loved by him....”

Jian Zihan said sternly, “Don’t say that about yourself. You’re very good.”

Xie He’s smile was gloomy, “I’m no good at all. You don’t know me. There’s actually nothing good about me....If I could be like you, that would be good. Do you know just how much I envy you...?”

Jian Zihan finally looked surprised, “You envy me?”

“Yes, ah...” Xie He looked at him absentmindedly and muttered, “I didn’t even graduate from high school, let alone attend university. I began selling myself in my teens. The only reason I was able to get to this point was because my luck was a bit better than others’. Only, what of it? Even if I work harder, what does it matter? In his eyes...this will never change—I will only ever be a contemptible actor.”

“I can’t even blame him because I’m the one who chose to lower myself. I didn’t continue to persevere at that time and just sold myself.”

“I also didn’t want things to be like this. I also want to be like other people, to study with my mind at ease, to go to school, to do the things that I like. I didn’t want to learn about the ways of the world so early in life. I didn’t want to be an actor or part of this entertainment industry. I didn’t want to sell my body for the sake of money. I also didn’t want things to turn out this way...I also didn’t want to throw away my dignity for the sake of survival.... There are some things that cannot be picked up again once thrown away.”

“I now understand this fact.”

Xie He laughed quietly, gazing at Jian Zihan with a complex emotion, “So, I really envy you....”

Jian Zihan looked at him, astonished. Although he knew that Xie He’s life had not been completely smooth sailing, considering the lack of arrogance or willfulness typical of those that were doted on...he was still rather surprised. Only, Jian Zihan didn’t despise or look down on Xie He. Instead, he felt distressed for and soft-hearted towards him.

If they had a choice, who would want to throw away their dignity and go beg, ne...? He had experienced so many tribulations and yet Xie He did not become corrupted—his heart was still the same as it had been at the start. Wasn’t this even rarer to come across?

“I understand,” Jian Zihan gently cupped Xie He’s face and said, “If he doesn’t love you because of this, then it is he who is as blind as a bat.”

Tears formed in Xie He’s eyes as he stared at Jian Zihan in a daze.

In the next moment...he suddenly pushed Jian Zihan away with great force! Jian Zihan was not prepared and was pushed back quite a few steps by Xie He! Then, he watched as the huge chandelier above suddenly detached and came falling down! Xie He only had time to push Jian Zihan away. He was smashed onto the floor by the chandelier!

The airborne glass shards cut into Jian Zihan’s arm, blood oozing out from his wounds. However, he didn’t notice this at all!

Xie He had been crushed by the chandelier because he had wanted to push Jian Zihan away. His weak body was laying on the floor, blood seeping into the fabric of his clothes and staining the floor red...all of this happened before Jian Zihan’s eyes....Jian Zihan’s eyes reddened!

He crawled up from the floor, shaking. He didn’t dare touch Xie He, afraid that he might cause him more harm in moving him.

Xie He smiled at Jian Zihan. “Thank you for comforting me. You’re really a good person....”

Jian Zihan’s hand was trembling. “Don’t speak, don’t speak anymore....”

Xie He’s breath became weaker and weaker. His limpid eyes looked at Jian Zihan. This was the person Yi Ze liked. What was there to feel unreconciled about when Jian Zihan was such a good person? In Xie He’s eyes came a faint longing expression. He smiled.

”Thank god you’re OK....”

Jian Zihan held him, quivering all over. “You’ll be OK&#k2026;nothing will happen to you.”

&#k3010;Ding, Jian Zihan’s Favourability Value +10. The current Favourability Value is 90.&#k3011;

?444?Host dada, why did you do that, ah? QAQ?Although Host dada had ordered him to make the invisible robot release the chandelier, he thought that Host dada would dodge, ah!

&#k3010;Xie He&#kUU1J;I’m increasing Jian Zihan’s Favourability Value, ah, Baby.&#k3011;

&#k3010;444&#kUU1J;I know that much, ah, ah, ah!&#k3011;

&#k3010;Xie He&#kUU1J;Don’t worry. I calculated the angle. This degree of injury won’t kill me. If I don’t do this, how will Yi Ze know just how much I love him, ne? I can sacrifice myself for the sake of saving the person he loves, ah. Hehe.&#k3011;

?444?......?

?Xie He?I think that I could win the ‘Model Substitute of the Year’ Award. I’ve even moved myself. ? ?

?444?......?I should have just walked away. _(:???)_

Jian Zihan watched as Xie He was carried onto the stretcher, all bloody. Without any hesitation, he climbed into the back of the ambulance. He was also injured—his arm had been cut open by the shards of glass, causing him to bleed— but he didn’t care at all. It was just a tiny superficial wound, that’s all. Compared to Xie He...it was nothing.

The ambulance sped to the hospital. Jian Zihan followed Xie He with his eyes, watching him get pushed into the operating room. He stood there, motionless, in a daze.

The people next to him tried to persuade him, “Jian you should get your injuries treated.”

Jian Zihan looked at him blankly. “Will Minghui be OK?”

That person felt a bit sad seeing Jian Zihan like this and continued to persuade him, “He should be fine, ba. First, go get your wounds treated and then come back, OK?”

Jian Zihan looked at his own arm. He thought, if Xie He came out and saw me like this, he would certainly be worried. Therefore, he should go get these wounds treated. The doctor picked the glass shards out of his arm and wrapped his wound in gauze. From beginning to end, Jian Zihan’s expression didn’t change.

When Yi Ze rushed over, Jian Zihan’s arm had already been wrapped up. He was sitting in a chair in the corridor, eyes fixed in the direction of the operating room. It was like he had been turned into a statue.

It had been nearly a decade since Yi Ze had last seen Jian Zihan. Jian Zihan looked much more mature now and his aura was more gentle and reserved. However, Yi Ze was still able to recognize him in one glance. Yi Ze had been in a meeting when he heard that Jian Zihan and Xie He had gotten injured. He already knew that they were part of the same filming crew but he didn’t think that the two of them had any relationship with one another. In his eyes, Xie He wasn’t even worthy of carrying Jian Zihan’s shoes. Their status were as far apart as the Heavens were from the earth.... Although both of them had gotten injured, he only had Jian Zihan on his mind. As such, he rushed over to the hospital without any rest.

He was the person that Yi Ze had been yearning for all this time. Now that Yi Ze was finally able to see him, it didn’t quite feel real. Yi Ze was silent for a moment before steadily walking over. He spoke with a low voice, “Are you OK?”

Jian Zihan turned to look at him and then nodded indifferently. “I’m fine. Thank you to President Yi for the concern.”

Yi Ze had actually already seen that Jian Zihan’s injuries were not serious. He sighed in relief. It was just that seeing the other’s cold attitude, he felt unbearably stuffy. Irritation flashed through his eyes but he suppressed his temper. “Why aren’t you going back to rest after getting injured?”

Jian Zihan said, “None of your business.”

Yi Ze furrowed his brows. “Even if we don’t talk about what happened in the past, we were still previously classmates. Do you have to speak like this to me? We haven’t seen each other for so many years. I’m just worried about you.”

Yi Ze was not overstepping the lines with these words of his. Jian Zihan alleviated his tone a bit, “Then thank you for your concern. I’m waiting for someone. You go back first, ba.”

A cold light flitted through Yi Ze’s eyes and his voice deepened, “Your boyfriend?”

Jian Zihan paused...although he really liked Xie He, he had yet to actually get together with the other man. If it was anyone else asking this, he would calmly refute this. However, since it was Yi Ze...how could Jian Zihan not know what he was thinking? He wasn’t willing to be entangled with Yi Ze after coming back this time. Therefore, he nodded and said insipidly, “Yes.”

Yi Ze’s knuckles cracked. He suddenly sat down next to Jian Zihan, raising an eyebrow and chuckling, “I’ll stay with you for a while, ba. I want to see just how capable that boyfriend of yours is to be able to capture the heart of our gifted scholar Jian.”

Jian Zihan frowned. He understood Yi Ze’s personality. Yi Ze was obviously angry right now. However, he wouldn’t let Yi Ze hurt Xie He in any way, so he might as well use this opportunity to make Yi Ze give up on him!

The two of them sat there quietly, each deep in their own thoughts. For once, they were able to maintain a delicate balance between them.

When Fu Yuan arrived at the hospital, he was met with this sight. He was extremely shocked.

He had many connections within the entertainment industry. Because he had been paying attention to Xie He all this time, he found out about this incident very quickly. He already knew that both Xie He and Jian Zihan were hurt. Only, it was said that Jian Zihan had only suffered a small wound whereas Xie He had been sent into the operating room. It was obvious at a glance as to who had the graver injury! He had rushed here anxiously. It was just that he was a bit further away that he ended up arriving late.

It was just that he didn’t expect to see both Yi Ze and Jian Zihan outside the operating room. What was happening here? Even Fu Yuan couldn’t quite make sense of it.

Jian Zihan and Fu Yuan were acquainted but they didn’t have much of a relationship. Jian Zihan only nodded to him casually. “President Fu.”

Yi Ze also saw Fu Yuan and greeted him indifferently. Because of what happened with Xie He, he and Fu Yuan had become a bit estranged.

Fu Yuan thought it over for a bit. Jian Zihan was injured alongside Xie He. Therefore, it was possible that Jian Zihan stayed here because he was worried about Xie He. However, what about Yi Ze, ne? It couldn’t be that he suddenly saw the light and was now concerned about Xie He? He narrowed his eyes and asked, “President Yi, did you also come to see Minghui?”

Yi Ze was startled.

Fu Yuan’s mind whirled. Upon seeing this, he suddenly understood! Yi Ze had come here for Jian Zihan.

He finally understood what had happened here. Instantly, he felt that Yi Ze was even less worthy of being loved by Xie He. Xie He had been injured so severely—his life or death was uncertain—and yet Yi Ze didn’t care about him at all...meanwhile, he had rushed over here for Jian Zihan, who only suffered a small wound. However, from the looks of things, he definitely didn’t know that the person in the operating room was Xie He. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have on such an expression...Fu Yuan’s eyes flashed. The corner of his lips rose into a smile. “I didn’t expect that President Yi would care so much about Minghui. It seems that I had wrongfully accused you back then.”

Jian Zihan was perceptive and perceived the oddity within Fu Yuan’s words! Fu Yuan knew about how Yi Ze had pursued him before. Even so, the first thing he had asked was whether Yi Ze had come to see Si Minghui. He even said that Yi Ze cared about him. It couldn’t be that Yi Ze actually knew Si Minghui?!

Jian Zihan immediately turned to look at Yi Ze, asking, “You know Minghui?”

Yi Ze gave Fu Yuan a cold glance. He was certain that Fu Yuan had purposely mentioned Si Minghui in front of Jian Zihan to annoy him. Nonetheless, he obviously couldn’t admit that he had been keeping someone who looked very similar to him to his face. Therefore, he calmly said, “You could say that I’m acquainted with him, ba.”

Fu Yuan couldn’t continue watching this. He sneered, “President Yi makes it sound so casual, ah. He’s the person that shares your bed and yet you say that you’re just ‘acquainted’....”

Yi Ze was furious. However, before he could retort, Jian Zihan suddenly stood up and glared at Fu Yuan with a chilly voice, eyes fixed on Fu Yuan, “What are you saying?!”

At this moment, both Fu Yuan and Yi Ze were startled. They didn’t understand why Jian Zihan had such a big reaction.

Fu Yuan’s goal was to expose the relationship between Yi Ze and Xie He to Jian Zihan. With how much Yi Ze cared for Jian Zihan, he would very likely throw Xie He away without any hesitation. As such, his goal could be considered to have been attained. Just as he predicted, Yi Ze would react intensely. However, why did Jian Zihan seem even angrier than he was? Fu Yuan contemplated over this...it couldn’t be that Jian Zihan was finally willing to accept Yi Ze? Was that why he was so agitated over this? Then that was even better! In the next second, Xie He would give up and throw himself into his embrace!

Yi Ze had originally been so angry that he wanted to kill Fu Yuan. But now, he turned to look at Jian Zihan nervously, hope flitting through his eyes. Looking at Jian Zihan’s reaction just now, it couldn’t be that he was jealous? Otherwise, why would he be so angry upon hearing that he and Xie He were sleeping together?

Jian Zihan swept a cold gaze between the two of them. In the end, he spoke with frost dripping out of his voice, “You’re the one Si Minghui likes?”

Yi Ze paused and then deliberated over his words. He said, “He doesn’t like me, ba. We have a relationship based on mutual benefits....After all, you left and didn’t return for so long....”

When he said this, his confidence dropped a bit and he coughed twice.

Jian Zihan’s fingers clenched into fists. He trembled slightly.

He looked at Yi Ze’s expression of playing things down, at his indifferent tone. When he thought of Xie He who was in the operating room, fate unknown, he felt his heart spasm in pain. He slowly said, “Then did you know that he’s injured?”

Yi Ze hesitated and then nodded, “I know.”

He had heard that Xie He was injured but he didn’t ask about any details. He didn’t take it very seriously. After all, it wasn’t the first time Xie He was injured during filming.

Jian Zihan gnashed his teeth, “Since the two of you are in that kind of relationship, how could you not feel even the least bit worried about him upon hearing that he’s injured? Why haven’t you thought to go see him?”

Yi Ze thought that Jian Zihan was jealous so he promptly explained, “I’m just playing with him, that’s all. If you’re not happy, I can make him leave...I’ve only ever liked you.”

Jian Zihan’s eyes were red. He recalled the sorrow in Xie He’s eyes and recalled the words that he had said. He recalled how Xie He had smiled at him while pushing him at the end, “Fortunately, you’re OK....”

At this time, he could see that in Yi Ze’s indifferent eyes that Xie He was nothing but a lowly actor that would sell his body for money...that he was a toy that could be kicked away.... And therefore, he could rationally trample over the other’s sincerity....

Jian Zihan could not longer control the billowing rage in his chest and suddenly gave Yi Ze a heavy slap!

The crisp sound of a resounding slap echoed throughout the corridor. Yi Ze had not expected Jian Zihan to act this way and was completely stupefied. A scorching pain came from his cheek and rage emerged in his eyes. No one had ever dared to hit him! However, when he thought about how the one who had hit him was Jian Zihan, and how this was indeed his own fault to begin with, he forcibly suppressed his fury. He tightly pursed his lips together, a cold air emanating from his body.

Fu Yuan was stupefied. Today’s show wasn’t following common sense at all! Even he didn’t understand what was happening!

Jian Zihan looked at Yi Ze with an icy glare, “You should break up with him.”

His chest heaved up and down from his anger. At this moment, the light above the operating room finally went out. Jian Zihan no longer had any time to spare for Yi Ze. He rushed over to catch the doctor, “Doctor, how is he?”

The doctor said, “His arm and shoulder have both been fractured. However, it was fortunate that his organs were not affected. His condition is no longer life-threatening.”

Jian Zihan finally calmed down. He said gratefully, “Thank you, Doctor. Thank you, Doctor.”

Fu Yuan was also very worried about Xie He. He promptly asked, “Can we go see him?”

The doctor nodded, “Yes. Only, the anesthesia has yet to wear out so he hasn’t woken up yet.”

Fu Yuan said, “That’s fine. We will go in to see him.”

Jian Zihan entered. When he saw Xie He lying in bed, his expression softened. His heart was full of distress as he gently caressed Xie He’s pale face.

He finally understood. He finally understood everything.

Why Xie He would say that he envied him; why Xie He would look at him with a complicated expression. It was because he knew everything. He had stayed by Yi Ze’s side quietly as Jian Zihan’s substitute. He had fallen in love with a man he shouldn’t. Just how anguished must he feel?

Jian Zihan finally understood.

However, even if it was painful, Xie He was willing to put his own life on the line to save him.

Jian Zihan’s eyes were full of doting love. Why don’t you hate me? If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have to be so sad.... Jian Zihan felt like his heart was tied up in knots. How could there be someone like you....

How could I not love you?

?Ding, the target Jian Zihan’s Favourability Value +5. The current Favourability Value is 95.?

Yi Ze silently walked in last. From the moment the light above the operating room went out, Fu Yuan and Jian Zihan seemed to have ignored him. The two of them were fully focused on the person inside the room.

Who was the person inside? From the moment Yi Ze had come, all of his attention had been on Jian Zihan. He had never thought about this question. Right now, he discovered that he seemed to have missed something very important...when he saw clearly just who was lying on the sick bed, his expression abruptly changed.
