15.1 -15.6

While Xue Zi Xuan was busying about, Zhou Yun Sheng had just arrived in London, England.

After buying some essential supplies, Zhou Yun Sheng went to Yorktown in Manchester, found a comfortable hotel, and got a good sleep. When he woke up he found a century-old shop to sample the available teas. Then, carrying his only property – a small backpack on his shoulders – he wandered around to visit York Minster.

This was a very Gothic-style building. It was gorgeous and solemn. The geometric lines were inlaid with colorful glass, which refracted sunlight into massive spots. Some people were praying, some people were singing hymns, and some people were lowering their heads in silent contemplation, but Zhou Yun Sheng's mind was a complete blank when he looked up at the dome.

He was finally free of the villain system, but to be honest, he didn't feel as happy as he had imagined. He suddenly felt at a loss. He didn't know where to go or what to do. His whole person was empty and light, like rootless duckweed.

The solemn and quiet atmosphere in the church suffocated him. After sitting for ten minutes, he couldn't stand it any more, so he quietly stood up and walked out.

The weather today was very good. Although it was a bit cold, the sun was very bright. He didn't want to ride in a vehicle, so he stepped on the withered yellow leaves and walked back to the hotel one step at a time.

The newly purchased coat was very thick, and the scarf was also very warm, but somehow he kept feeling like something was missing.

A couple walked pass arm in arm. The woman said something and then the man laughed and wrapped her up in his arms. The two elongated shadows on the ground merged into one.

Stepping on that shadow, Zhou Yun Sheng suddenly understood what he was missing: a warm embrace, two strong arms, heat blowing by his ears, and a weight hanging around his neck. The entanglement that he found annoying in the past was now a shining memory in his mind's eyes.

Zhou Yun Sheng's face felt numb from the blowing wind. He wiped his face and didn't let himself think about it anymore.

He walked a few steps quickly and passed by the golf course next to the hotel. He couldn't help but think of the Xue manor, which was also located at a golf course. Xue Zi Xuan said that he would teach him how to play golf, but it looked like there would be no chance to do so in the future.

Damn it! Why was that man's shadow everywhere?

With a low curse, Zhou Yun Sheng gripped the pale gray wool scarf and walked into the hotel.

The hotel room was very warm. He casually tossed his backpack to the side, lied down on a random sofa, put his legs up on the coffee table, and waited for someone to change his shoes for him.

The room was quiet. He could not hear the sounds of that person nagging or chuckling.

About a minute later, Zhou Yun Sheng realized that he had already left that place. From now on, there would be no one to help him change his shoes when he entered the door, no one to carry him to bed when he was tired, no one to soothe his body or mind when he felt empty or hollow, and no one to make good food for him when he was hungry.

He felt like there was grass growing in his heart. It was uncomfortable everywhere, no place was peaceful. Zhou Yun Sheng got up, resigned to his fate. He kicked off his sneakers and climbed into the bed with his newly bought laptop ot browse the domestic news.

Sure enough, as he had expected, the Internet exploded. The news of his disappearance was distorted into a smoke screen. They said that the driver who crashed into someone was actually Huang Yi, and that the Xue family had his chauffeur Zhao Yin take the blame for him.

As soon as this remark came out, a crowd of people attacked the poster. Everyone said that the original poster had no IQ. Was it necessary to break his own leg in order to take the blame? How could there be such a person who would sacrifice themselves like that for their employer? Besides, when the fire brigade rescued the wounded from the car, the incident was broadcasted live, so how could it be faked?

The police immediately released a video of Zhao Yin stealing the car, proving that Huang Yi had nothing to do with the car crash.

Immediately after Xue Zi Xuan held a press conference. He brought his parents and sister out to apologize to the public for the murder case, and then he announced that Xue Rui had been expelled from all positions in the Xue family consortium, and that he would be taking over.

After that, the truth of the twin brother and sister's heart-changing murder case finally came to light, and Huang Yi, who was forced to flee for his life, received the public's sympathy.

On the laptop screen, Xue Zi Xuan's face was very pale. He stood up and bowed in apology. He even swayed twice and almost fainted. He held his forehead and waved his hands repeatedly. Then he squeezed out the door while being chased by reporters.

When Xue Zi Xuan swayed on his feet, Zhou Yun Sheng's hands also shook, wanting to reach out to support him, but then he suddenly remembered that they were not only separated by a thin screen, but they were also worlds apart.

A reporter held the microphone to Xue Zi Xuan's mouth and asked aggressively: "Excuse me, Mr. Xue. For the sake of an unrelated person you reported your biological parents and adopted sisters who grew up together with you. What were you thinking in your heart? How could you do it? Tell us about your mental journey."

"Are you saying that what I did was wrong?" Xue Zi Xuan stopped abruptly, and turned around to look at the reporter, "Then what did you think I should have done? Pretend that I know nothing? Cover up the truth? Just sit on my hands and watch as my parents and sister join hands together to murder Xiao Yi and dig out his heart? Should I have also participated in their plans, help them destroy all evidence, and clean up their mess? Is that the correct way to do things? Some people say that I have no conscience to even report on my parents. Then let me ask you, is helping them break the law and helping them commit murder considered conscientious? Then the thing that you call a 'conscience' is really too frightening."

The reporter was questioned like this until he was left speechless. No matter how stupid he was he would still understand that Xue Zi Xuan had done nothing wrong in this case.

Those who criticized Xue Zi Xuan for his ruthlessness did not dare to speak up. The new leader took office during the most severe period of rectification of social ethos. No one had the guts to openly say that Xue Zi Xuan's actions to uphold the law and uphold justice were against human ethics.

He stood on the commanding heights of law and morality, and that made him blameless.

"Rumor has it that you have an improper male-male relationship with Huang Yi. This is the main reason that prompted you to report your parents, isn't it?" The reporter was determined to enter a confrontation with Xue Zi Xuan.

The young man who had been expressionless all along unexpectedly got very angry. He bit out each word in a deep rumbling voice: "Don't tarnish our relationship with your filthy thoughts. If someone spreads rumors or slanders our reputation on this matter, I will take the necessary legal measures."

After saying this, Xue Zi Xuan quickly left under the protection of his bodyguards. Oh, how he wanted to speak of his love for the teenager loudly to the whole world, but no, he could not push the boy into the heart of the struggle, where the wind and the waves were the fiercest.

Zhou Yun Sheng continued to stare at the screen long after the broadcast was finished and advertisements started playing.

After a long while, he went and looked up the share price of the Xue consortium and found that there was a drop, but not by much. Several cross-border mergers and acquisitions were announced in a timely manner. Investors were confident in the prospects of the Xue consortium, and maybe the stock price will rise back in a while and become even higher than before.

Zhou Yun Sheng breathed out a suffocating breath. He never expected that Xue Zi Xuan would choose to call the police. He thought that the other man would secretly smooth over the incident, and minimize the losses and negative effects of the Xue family, but he didn't. He actually personally reported Xue Rui and them, and opened a press conference to announce the truth of the case.

Everything he did was to protect Zhou Yun Sheng, and he took Zhou Yun Sheng out of the spotlight to avoid random speculation by the media. Zhou Yun Sheng couldn't tell what he felt inside. His eyes were a bit sore, and his nose was a bit congested. He carelessly rubbed his face all over. Then he went to look at other news.

Zhao Yin and Hu Dong did not die in the car accident, which he had expected. Not only did Zhou Yun Sheng raise the safety factor of that sports car again, but also Hu Dong's Maybach was bulletproof and shockproof, which offered the vehicle owner the greatest level of protection and safety.

Between Zhao Yin and Hu Dong, one had to amputate his left leg and the other had to amputate his right leg. This could be considered retribution.

Zhou Yun Sheng sent the video of Hu Dong running his parents over back to China. And this matter was now cleared.

As for the autopilot system left in the car, the forensic department would not be able to decipher it for another hundred years, based upon current technological advancements. They would just think it was an ordinary entertainment facility.

Now that the police have arrested a series of people involved in the case, sooner or later they would unearth the complete chain of evidence based on the audio clips.

Xue Rui was currently recruiting lawyers to defend himself. The charge of murder was already in the middle of being processed, but the victim was not dead after all. The crime of an unsuccessful murder attempt would result in a sentence of three to five years of jail time at most.

And if Xue Rui played his cards right, the jail sentence could be suspended for two years. Except for a lost of reputation, Xue Rui would basically get off scot-free.

Xue Rui thought he plotted everything very well, but unfortunately for him, he took Xue Jing Yi's suggestion and bought two kilograms of heroin to frame Huang Yi. Buying and selling drugs was a felony, not to mention he had purchased such a huge amount. It was possible that he could be sentenced to lifetime imprisonment or maybe even the death penalty.

Xue Rui panicked, and immediately retracted his confession and pushed all the charges onto Xue Jing Yi. Xue Li Dan Ni also followed the lawyer's advice and testified that Xue Jing Yi was the mastermind in all of this.

In fact, they did not accuse Xue Jing Yi wrongly. The evidence obtained showed that Xue Jing Yi was indeed the mastermind behind the murder attempt. In order to plunder her twin brother's heart, she had carefully drafted several plans for murder, and they could be described as unscrupulous and exhaustive.

When Xue Jing Yi learned that all the evidence pointed to her, and that she would be facing the death penalty on the heavy side of punishment or fifteen years of imprisonment on the lighter end, due to the huge amount of drugs purchased, her soul figuratively left her body.

At this time, a reporter from CCTV came to interview this former star, who once glowed beneath a halo of light, but was now behind bars. What the reporter saw was Xue Jing Yi shaking the jail bars, shouting, and crying bitterly. She kept saying that she was wrong and that she was merely possessed (by a ghost), and so on.

"I want to see my big brother, I want a lawyer, let my big brother help me hire the best lawyer! Huang Yi ran away from home already, he is not dead, we didn't commit a crime yet." She still tried to defend herself.

The CCTV reporter stood by and watched for a while. He recorded a sufficient amount of footage of her crying with tears and mucus flowing profusely, putting on a shameful performance of someone on the brink of going crazy. Only then did he step forward to interview her. But at that moment, he saw a few big name lawyers with briefcases hurrying over. Their expressions were extremely solemn.

The reporter recognized that these people were big names in the country of China, and their consulting fee was extremely expensive. Therefore, they did not pay any attention to the camera recording next to them.

"Uncle Li, you came! Did my big brother ask you to defend me?" Xue Jing Yi went to grab Lawyer Li's clothes through the prison bars.

He was Xue Rui's long time friend, and had watched Xue Zi Xuan and Xue Jing Yi grow up since childhood. He never foresaw that such a thing could happen.

Because of his honest character and upright conduct, Xue Rui only asked him to deal with the company's legal affairs. As for the shady secrets, they were handed over to another lawyer. This was also the reason why he was not dragged into the muck with them.

To be honest, he was very distressed and shocked on the day the incident broke out. In any case, he never thought that his old friend would target an innocent teenager in order to extend the life of his adopted daughter.

What made it even harder for him to believe was Xue Jing Yi's viciousness. After hearing those audio files, he felt cold from the inside out, and he couldn't imagine what Huang Yi must have felt when he heard them.

He avoided Xue Jing Yi's outstretched hand and unconsciously showed a look of disgust on his face. Then he took out a document from his briefcase and said: "This is a document to dissolve your adopted relationship with the Xue family. Xue Rui and Xue Li Dan Ni have already signed it. You should sign it too."

The reporter was keenly aware that this was a hot topic, and quickly asked the cameraman to take some footage of the document.

Zhou Yun Sheng, who was far away in the UK, was able to see the contents of this document clearly. It was indeed a document to terminate the adopted relationship between Xue Jing Yi and the Xue family. After signing this, Xue Jing Yi would have nothing to do with the Xue family anymore. And she still wanted Xue Zi Xuan to hire the best lawyer for her and to be released on bail. What a pipe dream.

The princess of the Xue family, who once stood upon a pedestal, was nothing from today on. Oh wait, she still had one identity that she could "show off." A prisoner.

Seeing this, Zhou Yun Sheng released a long sigh. If he had not gotten rid of the villain system, Xue Jing Yi's fate today would've become his fate in the future.

There was the likelihood that he would be imprisoned for persecuting her. Or perhaps, some accident might occur, and there would be a perfectly reasonable and legal explanation for her to receive his heart. Then she would live peaceful and beautiful days with her beloved, and be happy all her life.

But why? For what reason? Why should he have to offer up his live to create a beautiful future for them?

Rubbing his eyebrows, he stared indifferently at the crying girl on the screen.

At this moment, she was not the same glamorous and calm girl in the Golden Hall.

Xue Jing Yi tried to snatch the document away to tear it up, but the lawyer avoided her. So she rolled about and cried, clutching her heart and screaming that she was in pain. She exhausted every means to evade this document.

In the end, she got her wish. Her heart acted up and she was rushed to the hospital. The reporting crew chased after the ambulance for a while, but eventually had to give up the chase, and returned without completing the interview.

At the end of the video, Zhou Yun Sheng click-clacked away at the keyboard and quickly found out which hospital Xue Jing Yi had gone to.

She didn't die, but due to her weak body she was unable to go on trial. Even if she was sentenced, she still had the chance of going on parole in order to receive medical treatment.

But so what? She was homeless now. Instead of being released out into the wild, it would be more comfortable for her to just squat in jail.

She was unwilling to sign that document, but Xue Zi Xuan unilaterally announced that he had terminated his sibling relationship, and then filed a complaint with the court for enforcement.

The parents who once loved her now hated her to the bone, and her favorite brother felt sick just from looking at her. None of them wanted her anymore. This made her feel like she had nothing left to live for.

What Xue Jing Yi was feeling, whether or not she regretted her actions, and whether or not she would die of heartbreak, Zhou Yun Sheng didn't care about any of that at all.

After skimming over all the related news, he knew that all the people who had once hurt him before, and all the people who had attempted to hurt him before were now in miserable states, and he felt relieved.

Just as Zhou Yun Sheng was preparing to turn off the computer, the weibo that he had registered anonymously suddenly let out a sharp and clear beep. There was an update from someone he was following, and the only person he was following was Xue Zi Xuan.

Right now the Xue family was a mess, facing internal trouble and outside aggression, and Xue Zi Xuan actually had the mood to post on his weibo at such a time?

Driven by curiosity, Zhou Yun Sheng casually clicked on the alert and found that the man had only written one line and posted a very short video.

"Waiting for you to come back, no matter how long [it takes]."

It was a simple sentence. There were no cute emoticons or gorgeous emojis to dress it up.

Below that was an attached video, and it showed: A large, slender, white hand with clearly defined joints lightly patted a one-and-a-half foot tall metal egg. The egg shook. The shell opened up with clicking sounds, and short hands and feet grew out. Then it knelt down and begged for mercy with a funny metallic tone: "Master I am wrong, Master forgive me! Master I am wrong, Master forgive me…"

The video played continuously in a loop, and the voice of the villain system admitting its mistakes pounded against his eardrums and lingered. Zhou Yun Sheng stared at the screen and was silent for a long time.

On the other side of the earth, Xue Zi Xuan was staring at the screen in a trance after posting on his weibo.

Thanks to his investigations in the previous life, he knew that the teenager liked the Internet very much. He collected all kinds of electronic products, and he also collected all kinds of news. He also liked to use anonymous accounts to peep around online, and tease his fans along the way.

Once the teenager escaped the murk [of the Xue family], his life was very wonderful and happy. In the previous life, Xue Yan was the one to accompany him.

In this life, who would be the one to accompany him?

Thinking of this, Xue Zi Xuan felt heart-piercing pain again. He covered his chest and whined low. No one knew how much he once hated Xue Yan and wanted to replace him. No one knew that he was once so close to happiness, and that he only needed to stretch out his hand to hold it.

Right now, where was the boy who could make him extremely happy with just a look and a smile? Was he living in fear? Was he tired? Was he eating well? Did he have enough clothes to wear?

Xue Zi Xuan cared about him so much that he wished to split his soul in two, put half of it inside the teenager's heart, and use the other half as a string to tie it to his wrist.

But these were all just delusions in the end.

Xue Zi Xuan covered his reddened eyes and struggled for a long time before pulling himself out of this desperate abyss. He waited for the youth for one lifetime. Then he could wait for him for two, three lifetimes. For every lifetime.

"No matter where you are, remember to eat well. Go to bed on time. Don't stay up late. Don't sleep in clothes just because you are too lazy to take them off. It's uncomfortable and it would be easy to catch a cold. And most importantly, pay attention to safety." Xue Zi Xuan finished typing out this message, but couldn't send it out. He switched off his weibo, and sighed in disappointment and frustration.

Xue Zi Xuan has not given up on searching, but Xiao Yi was really smart. He didn't leave a single trace.

Thinking about it, Xiao Yi could build a ghost-like car that he could drive around freely and remotely. Then naturally, he could also disappear like a ghost. Whether it was in the previous life or in this life, Xiao Yi was no ordinary person.

Zhou Yun Sheng read Xue Zi Xuan's new weibo word by word, and really had to hand it to the man. Even from such a distance, his nagging nature could not be changed.

Due to all the scandals the Xue family has been caught up in lately, Xue Zi Xuan's weibo followers exploded to beyond one million. Of course, he had quite a lot of followers before too, and they were even from all parts of the globe.

As soon as he posted this Weibo message, everyone guessed right away that the person he was waiting for was Huang Yi. There were Internet trolls spreading hate, but the overwhelming majority liked his post, and they even prayed for the youth who was forced to escape far away.

There were also people interested in the villain system that Zhou Yun Sheng had cobbled together, and kept asking where could it be purchased.

Xue Zi Xuan did not reply. He just stared at each ID, hoping that one of them was his beloved teenager.

Zhou Yun Sheng brought his finger over to the mouse to click like, but in the end he failed to press it. He turned off the computer, and rolled up the quilt to crawl into bed. After sleeping for a few minutes, he suddenly jumped up again. First, he pulled at his hair irritably, and then he reluctantly took off his clothes and pants.

Back then; when he returned home, he didn't have to worry about anything. As soon as he sat on the sofa or lied on the bed, someone would automatically come up to help him change his shoes, undress, wipe his face, and soak his feet. His days were quite comfortable.

Home? Did he just call a place like the Xue manor his home?

Zhou Yun Sheng beat the bed violently, threw his clothes and pants on the floor, and rolled up in the quilt like a burrito. He was annoyed from the bottom of his heart.

Zhou Yun Sheng wandered idly in the UK for several months, and spent the money on the card until there was not much left. Only then did he rented a house and bought several advanced computers, planning to write a few small software programs and sell them for money.

Xue Zi Xuan never gave up searching.

He lived a life similar to his previous life, constantly hiring private investigators to pursue Zhou Yun Sheng vigorously.

As long as a picture that looked like the teenager was sent to him, he would leave behind all his important official duties and rush over a long distance to seek him out, but the results were always disappointing.

Time flew by and slipped away, and two years passed away just like that.

Zhou Yun Sheng had already set down roots in the UK. He did not have a fixed job. Sometimes he would sell small software programs, and sometimes he would help certain companies set up a network defense system. With customers all over the world, he had gradually accumulated a huge amount of wealth.

Occasionally he would buy a few stocks for financial management, but most of the money in his bank account was squandered on things like advanced scientific and technological goods, luxury cars, mansions, and even ancient castle manors.

For Zhou Yun Sheng, money was just a symbol. If he spent all of it, he could easily earn it back. Over time, life became dull.

It was Christmas Eve, and he decided to go out on a date after staying at home for nearly two months.

This was his first date since he came to the UK. The other person was a friend that he had met online. They had never met face to face before, but based on that person's charming and humorous words, Zhou Yun Sheng could tell that he was a highly educated gentleman.

Zhou Yun Sheng liked gentlemen. It was best if the man was like Xue Zi Xuan, gentle and considerate outside of the bedroom, but strong and wild in bed, and to also have an artist's romance and purity.

While arranging his hair, Zhou Yun Sheng had unknowingly applied his criteria for mate selection based on Xue Zi Xuan. He couldn't help but curse lowly upon realization.

"Why is his influence still lingering on? I have already left. Why the f*ck am I still thinking of him?" He murmured, but unconsciously he turned on the computer and logged on Weibo to check the latest developments of that person.

When that person was still a pianist, he never posted on Weibo even once for an entire year. After changing his career, he became a Weibo enthusiast. Everyday he would post on Weibo three times a day like clockwork, morning, afternoon, and night. Occasionally, he would even add a picture or photograph, and share his own feelings and experiences.

There were three posts on Weibo today.

At 7:30 am on the dot he posted: "Good morning, remember to eat breakfast." Fans who were accustomed to this pattern have responded to the post with "good morning" one after another.

At noon, a picture of his lunch was added to Weibo. The meal consisted of simple white rice, pig trotters marinated in soy paste, assorted vegetables, and fried green peppers. The text was also very concise—Don't nap after you have eaten lunch.

The one in the evening was a blessing to wish someone well: Have a safe Christmas Eve. The accompanying picture was of the villain system wearing a Christmas hat.

From the fans there were likes, there were blessing, some praised the cute villain system, and some were calling for Huang Yi to go home quickly. They all knew whom the male god was thinking about everyday for three hundred and sixty-five days a year. Xue Zi Xuan could rely on this method to convey his thoughts.

After two years of doing this, Xue Zi Xuan got "nuan nan*" this term of address.

[*T/N: 暖男 nuan nan – a man who is family-orientated, a man who is considerate and protective]

At first, some people were saying that he was only doing this for show, that he was only trying to whitewash his image and the image of the Xue conglomeration. But with more than seven hundred days of persistence, every morning and evening, those mocking voices gradually disappeared, replaced by sympathy and touched voices.

Xue Zi Xuan didn't say anything explicit in his tweets, but the hidden love between the lines was enough to make people sad.

When other people called him a disgusting homosexual, he could turn a deaf ear to it, but if they wanted to attack the teenager, then they would immediately receive a warning letter from his lawyer.

At the beginning of the murder case, the Xue conglomeration was indeed affected negatively. But now, Xue Zi Xuan has become an unshakeable existence like a giant. Even Xue Yan, the patriarch of the Xue family, often lamented that the young would be redoubtable in the years to come*. Therefore, no one dared to confront Xue Zi Xuan, and those Internet trolls and homophobes had long since disappeared.

[*T/N: "the young will be redoubtable in the years to come" – is a Chinese idiom meaning the younger generation will surpass the older generation in time.]

"I didn't eat breakfast at all today. You woke up at 7:30, whereas I finished my work at 7:30. I was just sleeping up until now." Zhou Yun Sheng stared at the picture of Xue Zi Xuan's lunch and drooled. "There are no fried green peppers in England. I'm so hungry. I also slept through lunch. Merry Christmas Eve. But I'm afraid it's too late to say this now. It should already be Christmas at your place."

Zhou Yun Sheng turned off the computer and let out a long and deep sigh. Everyone said that during the holidays was when people got the most homesick. This was true. Zhou Yun Sheng was suddenly missing that ice-cold Xue manor.

After a while, his phone sounded. His date had just texted him the meeting place for their date. Only then did Zhou Yun Sheng worked up the energy to go out. He had bought a few villas and a vast manor house, but in the end he still liked to live in a two-hundred-square-meter duplex apartment in downtown London.

The larger the house was the more empty his heart felt. He didn't want to hear his own voice echo back at him when he was talking to himself. The feeling of loneliness in those moments made him particularly uncomfortable.

Zhou Yun Sheng parked his car in the nearest parking lot, and then he slowly walked towards the restaurant at the corner of the street. The scent of food and wine wafted in the restaurant, and guests gathered to celebrate the festival, sometimes chatting, sometimes whispering, and sometimes laughing. A waiter greeted him and asked him if he had a reservation.

"I'm meeting someone here." Zhou Yun Sheng took off his thick scarf.

Without waiting for the waiter to speak, a white young man sitting alone raised his hand to greet him: "Chen?"

"That's me." Zhou Yun Sheng walked over with a smile, and looked at the other person who was tall, handsome, well dressed, polite, and witty. He was consistent with his image on the Internet.

The date was very pleasant, at least for Zhou Yun Sheng, who had never made friends. When he left the restaurant, he was thinking about whether or not to develop their relationship further.

Suddenly a motorcycle gang drove over from around the corner and started to say threatening things.

Before Zhou Yun Sheng could react, the white youth quickly rushed across the street. He pressed his back against the wall and raised his hands above his head to show that he was not threatening.

Zhou Yun Sheng, who was left alone in the middle of the road, was surrounded by the motorcycle gang, and the exhaust fumes from their motorcycles made him cough rapidly.

A few punches could solve the problem, but Zhou Yun Sheng was too lazy to move today. He took out his wallet and threw hundreds of large bills into the air. While the motorcycle gang and other pedestrians were fighting over the money, he took that chance to leave.

The white youth was stunned for a moment, and then he hurried to catch up to apologize: "Chen, I'm sorry about just now, I shouldn't have left you…"

"You don't have to apologize. There is an old saying in China: gentlemen do not lay down dangerous walls. When encountering danger, everyone's subconscious action is to protect themselves. If it were me, I would do the same, too." When he said this, his expression became distracted.

That's right, everyone would subconsciously protect themselves, but Xue Zi Xuan would not. He always put Zhou Yun Sheng's safety first.

He remembered once when he was crossing the road he was too engrossed in playing with his psp, his eyes were glued to the screen, and he forgot to pay attention to the road. He was almost hit by a speeding vehicle. It was Xue Zi Xuan who had pulled him back and hugged him tightly in his arms, putting his own back towards the direction of the vehicle, so that even if they were hit, it would be Xue Zi Xuan who would suffer the most damage.

In the split second of a life or death matter, human behavior was not controlled by the brain. The choices they made were often the deepest obsession in their hearts. And Xue Zi Xuan's obsession was to protect him, right?

It wasn't until this moment, did Zhou Yun Sheng come to this enlightenment.
