Lu Sui looked at Lin Ziran dazedly. His lips trembled and his dark eyes showed a pleading expression: “No, no…you are lying to me, right…”
Lin Ziran looked at him with pity and slowly said: “I didn’t intend to say anything, so you thought your mother died to save me. But you still found out and asked me again and again. I’ll admit it then…I won’t continue to lie to you, this is the whole truth.”
Lu Zhen is really the victim, but facing Lu Sui, he does not have a clear conscience.
This is the real reason why Lu Zhen had always wanted to make up to Lu Sui.
Lu Sui remained in a state of half-kneeling by the sofa. He was motionless, helplessness and hesitation in his eyes, as if something he believed… was once again ruthlessly shattered.
Lin Ziran, in a rare moment, turned soft hearted when he saw his appearance, but it was impossible for Lu Zhen to accept his brother’s remorse without hurting his conscience after learning the truth; Moreover, he is just a player with a mission, there is no reason for him to hide the truth from Lu Zhen.
So… Now that you know it, you should know about everything.
Lu Sui seemed to need time to calm down, and he would probably leave by himself once the kid recovers. This time, he didn’t believe that Lu Sui wouldn’t blacken. Lin Ziran decided to go for a walk and come back only after Lu Sui left!
He got up and left with the key, but Lu Sui did not stop him this time.
But where should he go now?
Lin Ziran flipped through his wallet and accidentally saw a black membership card. He suddenly remembered, isn’t this the high-end club that Lu Zhen often goes to? It is a great place for eating, drinking and having fun!
In the past, Lu Zhen often came to this place frequently, but Lin Ziran only came twice. The last time it was because Zhao Mingze asked him.
Lin Ziran prefers to watch dramas and play games at home on weekdays. He never thought about coming to this high-end business club, nor did he like to talk about business, so he never came again. Today’s situation was special.
Soon he arrived at his destination.
As soon as he entered, the service staff escorted Lin Ziran to the booth he often went to and asked respectfully: “Mr. Lu, are you alone today?”
Lin Ziran smiled: “Yes, bring some food over.”
The service staff asked: “Okay, do you want the same as before?”
Lin Ziran nodded.
When the service staff left, Lin Ziran sat on the soft sofa, rubbing his forehead tiredly.
Seeing that the plot has deviated, he was afraid that it will be too difficult to fiix it. This task has actually been regarded as a failure. Lin Ziran sighed with disappointment, but it was not too unacceptable. After all, it was just a game. It is normal to win and lose. Losing more or less… is also normal!
If you lose, then you lose. No big deal, he will try again next time!
[Lin Ziran asked the system: I want to quit the game, what should I do?]
[System: Similar to other games you usually play.]
[Lin Ziran:?]
[System: Players will immediately exit the game if they pass the level or die.]
[Lin Ziran:…]
It’s really similar to normal games… But the problem is that when you die in a mobile game, you don’t feel dead. However, this is a very realistic holographic simulation immersive game. Is it possible he had to die to quit a game?
[Lin Ziran tentatively asked: Can’t you just logout like this?]
[System: No, unless the player encounters danger in reality and triggers the player protection mechanism.]
Lin Ziran hesitated…just in time as the food was served.
Ah, he’ll think about that kind of troublesome problem later, the delicious food in front of him!
The chefs here are very good at cooking. They are a little different from the characteristics of their own hotel, but they are also great. Lin Ziran happily ate and his mood also improved.
Frankly speaking, he really underestimated the difficulty of this game. It was not easy to pass the level and there is even a hidden plot…
After eating and drinking, he put down his chopsticks. Lin Ziran checked that it was still early and decided to rest here for a while, so as not to bump into Lu Sui too early when he went back, and give the child more time to calm down.
The sofa here was very soft. The light was dim, the ambience was quiet and his heart was at ease…
Lin Ziran fell asleep in a daze.
………………
The elegant and gentle man was lying on his side on the sofa. He seemed to be a little tired, and his appearance was unstable. One arm fell under the sofa, probably when he turned over. His suit suit was a little wrinkled and messy, and his tie was also loose.
Zhao Mingze pushed the door open, and saw this scene.
His dark eyes had a strange loo. He was silent for a moment, before he walked over quietly, staring down at the sleeping man.
Lin Ziran slept relatively lightly and suddenly felt itchy on the side of his face and neck. He rolled over, slowly frowned and opened his eyes. When he saw Zhao Mingze’s handsome face, he couldn’t help but be stunned, and then he reached out his hand and pushed him away!
In the dim light, Zhao Mingze’s eyes seemed incredibly deep, but his gaze was intensely hot, as if he was about to burn everything.
Lin Ziran inexplicably felt a little uneasy. He tried to stay calm and asked coldly: “Why are you here?”
Zhao Mingze looked at him deeply, hooked up the corners of his lips and laughed lowly: “This club is mine. I’m the one who gave you your card. Did you forget?”
Lin Ziran: “!”
Who would’ve known about this trivial matter! It’s not written in the script either!
But he will not be cheated easily!
Lin Ziran looked at him coldly and frowned: “So what? I didn’t come here to see you. Could it be that Mr. Zhao meant that I would not be welcome here in the future?”
After he said this, he saw Zhao Mingze’s thin lips tightened and his eyes darkened, as if trying to suppress something painful.
Lin Ziran’s heart jumped. During this period of time, he got along with Zhao Mingze too quickly, and Zhao Mingze was always so considerate and gentle to him, so he nearly forgot that this person was a crazy villain! In the past, it was okay to feign civility, but now that Lu Sui has clarified everything, it is hard to guarantee Zhao Mingze will not do dangerous things.
Forget it, next time I won’t come to this place, it’s better to go watch a movie.
Lin Ziran patted his clothes and stood up, “I’m going back.”
Just as he was about to walk past Zhao Mingze, Zhao Mingze suddenly grabbed his wrist tightly and Lin Ziran had to turn his head to face him.
Zhao Mingze looked at him deeply, his thin lips moved slightly, and there seemed to be unconcealable pain in his hoarse voice. “The way you’re acting now, is it that you don’t want to see me anymore?”
You’re acting as if you really can’t bear to let me go.
Lin Ziran was silent and sighed faintly. Although Zhao Mingze was to his taste and this period of time was considered pleasant, even without Lu Sui revealing the truth, he would not stay with him.
Lin Ziran looked up and said: “You shouldn’t have done that.”
“Shouldn’t have done what? Shouldn’t send you those photos? Shouldn’t deal with Wen Yu secretly?” Zhao Mingze’s voice was low, with a self-deprecating smile on his lips. He said: “If I don’t do this, will you have been with me ?”
Lin Ziran seemed to be very disappointed in him, and said solemnly: “Then you shouldn’t hurt Wen Yu either.”
“Wen Yu.” Zhao Mingze sneered. He suddenly approached Lin Ziran, staring down into his eyes: “You only have Wen Yu in your eyes…Does he love you as much as I do?”
What? You’re talking as if the reason you did all these bad things is because you love me. You’re intending to persist as an affectionate character until the end?
Lin Ziran’s eyes twitched slightly and he laughed at himself: “You love me? You love me so you deceived me and hurt the person I love. Is this how you love someone?”
After speaking, Zhao Mingze’s hand was shaken off.
“Love is not an excuse to hurt others.” Lin Ziran looked into his eyes with a painful and determined expression, and said every word slowly: “Don’t show up in front of me again.”
He turned around and left, cold and ruthless.
But only the system knew he was panicking.
[Lin Ziran asked anxiously: Zhao Mingze didn’t follow, right?]
[System: …No.]
[Lin Ziran: That’s good, that’s good!]
【system:……】
Lin Ziran walked out of the club hurriedly. Fortunately, Zhao Mingze didn’t chase after him. He thought that this place was too dangerous, so he took out the black card and threw it directly into the trash can.
Then he simply turned around and went to the mall, watched two movies in a row, ate supper, and did not return home until late at night.
The door was closed and there was no light inside. Lin Ziran heaved a sigh of relief. It looks like Lu Sui should have left.
Today was too difficult…
Lin Ziran opened the door and walked in. He put on a pair of slippers and prepared to go back to his room to rest. But when he passed by the sofa, he heard a very soft voice: “Brother…”
Lin Ziran turned abruptly and saw Lu Sui’s gloomy face in the darkness and almost forgot to breathe in shock!
Don’t you know how to turn on the lights?!
Wait, don’t tell him Lu Sui has blackened by now and is trying to kill him to avenge his mother? Does he hate him so much? Is he going to die here today? But… Isn’t it alright to quit the game once he dies? Then he won’t resist…
It’s just that this game was really a huge loss. The plot was so messy and he died in the hands of the protagonist. He’d probably just get a D grade…
Just as Lin Ziran was in a trance, Lu Sui came to him, step by step. He was looking at him with sadness and pain, and said hoarsely: “I already understand. It’s not your fault that she fell to that point. She only had herself to blame. I know… you just want to protect yourself…
If it weren’t for her, nothing would have happened. We would still be the same as before, right…”
Lin Ziran finally showed an unexpected expression. He thought that Lu Sui would leave and thought that Lu Sui would blame him, but he had never expected that this would be the result.
This child does not seem to be hopeless.
Lu Sui looked at Lin Ziran greedily and humbly, and saw that he had not left like before. After a long time, he reached out his hand and hugged him cautiously, with his chin buried on the side of his neck, he choked: “Brother… please don’t leave me behind. As long as you let me stay I’ll do anything. Except for you, I have nothing left…”
Lin Ziran took a deep breath helplessly.
If Lu Zhen really existed and could hear these words, he will probably never have that nightmare again…because you see, Lu Sui didn’t blame you at all. You have done nothing wrong.
So there is no need to feel guilty, no need to suffer, no need to blame yourself.
Lin Ziran suddenly laughed and he said, “Okay.”
If you want to stay, just stay. Anyway, the plot has already collapsed into a mess and he didn’t expect to be able to bend it back. Just look at Lu Sui’s current appearance of only having his brother in his eyes. Even if you beat him to death, he wouldn’t try to snatch his brother’s boyfriend away again.
Who would have thought that one day, it would be so hard to wear a green hat?
………………
Lin Ziran unexpectedly had a good sleep.
Suddenly a question came to mind while he was lying in bed the next day.
Lin Ziran asked puzzledly: “Since I can unlock the hidden plotline of ‘Lu Zhen’s Secret’, why didn’t I receive a prompt about the hidden plot when Zhao Mingze said he liked me? Is this not a hidden plotline too?”
【system:……】
After Lin Ziran finished asking, he patted his head and laughed to himself: “I understand! Because he doesn’t like me at all, it’s just because the plot deviated and changed. It must be the butterfly effect. Since he doesn’t really like me, it’s not a hidden plot!”
[System:…Yes, you are right. That’s it.]
Lin Ziran washed his face and went downstairs. He walked to the dining room and was surprised. Lu Sui actually cooked breakfast!
This child has been home for so long, but this was the first time he has cooked by himself! Does he really know how to cook?
Lu Sui smiled shyly at Lin Ziran, and said flatteringly: “Actually, I often cook by myself when I was abroad. Brother, try it.”
Lin Ziran sat down unceremoniously. He picked up his chopsticks and tried it. Yi, this tastes good, he deserves praise for doing well! “Very good.”
When Lu Sui saw that Lin Ziran was willing to eat the food he made and said it was good, his eyes suddenly became hot. After so many years, he never thought there would be such a day. If only he knew the truth sooner…
He wouldn’t have done so many wrong things and taken so many detours.
Lin Ziran was quite comfortable at first, but then he saw that with just a casual compliment, Lu Sui’s eyes were red and he looked so moved that he was about to cry. He was a bit embarrassed. Hey, you were once a domineering president. ! Don’t you know that this is hurting your scumbag image?
When he thought about how a good scum gong had now become a crying bum beetle, Lin Ziran sighed deeply. After all, he couldn’t see Lu Sui and Wenyu’s love drama.
Lu Sui keenly perceived the melancholy in Lin Ziran’s eyes and his hands under the table clenched. What followed was the incomparable self-blame because it was he and Zhao Mingze who forced Lin Ziran and Wen Yu to break up. Brother must still be unable to let go of Wen Yu…but he couldn’t say it, so he felt sad.
Lu Sui couldn’t forgive himself even more thinking about how he was when he first came back. He even thought about stealing his brother’s lover.
Although… he was jealous that his brother had another person he liked more, but as long as he can stay with this person now, he doesn’t dare to expect more.
He just wanted to make up for his mistake.
………………
“CUT–”
The director clapped his hands and shouted, “This scene is perfect! Wen Yu, you can take a break first, we will shoot the next one in half an hour.”
The staff came to help Wen Yu untie the wire and his assistant quickly took a coat and put it on him.
The assistant asked nervously: “Why did you have to do the scene personally just now? Your injury has just recovered, you have to pay more attention to it. I even found a substitute for you, but you didn’t use it.”
Wen Yu said lightly: “I’m fine.”
Seeing this, the assistant could not say anything and silently helped Wen Yu get a bottle of water.
Since breaking up with Lu Zhen, Wen Yu has been more taciturn than before and he has worked harder, doing everything by himself… There was no difference from before, but his assistant knew that he had not let go of that person in his heart.
It’s just his pride that prevented him from begging someone who doesn’t love him.
The assistant shook his head and turned away.
Wen Yu laid in the chair and closed his eyes to rest. After a while, he opened his eyes again with a complicated look on his face and finally took out his phone.
He opened Weibo and searched for “Ranran chasing stars and forgot to eat”.
This is a micro-blog with few fans and few posts, but it can be seen that the other party was still using this account, and occasionally liked and forwarded content from some accounts.
Ten days ago, he liked his picture.
Six days ago, he liked a promotional video of his new drama.
A day ago, he reposted a Reuters photo of him, with the caption: Looking forward to it.
Wen Yu scanned the Weibo account from beginning to end until he saw the last photo. The picture was a signed photo of himself, with the steering wheel of the vehicle in the background. Under the photo, it says: I saw Yuyu today, and I got an autographed photo. He looks better than on TV, and his voice is sweet. Love him forever.
The corners of Wen Yu’s lips rose subconsciously, do you think I can’t recognize your hand? Can’t recognize your car? In fact, I found out a long time ago, but I just pretended not to know.
If he didn’t see it with his own eyes, it’s hard to imagine that a man who is calm and reserved on the surface would have such a cute side behind him. It seems a bit contradictory, but this is what he really is like as if he really loves him so purely…
You followed me silently even when I was unaware…
But what are you doing now?
After breaking up, why do you still pay attention to me?
The smile on Wen Yu’s lips gradually disappeared. He squeezed the phone and a trace of despair appeared in his eyes. In fact, you don’t love me that much, you are just like those fans who keep saying that you love me, you just like the thought of me. Once you encounter difficulties, you can easily retreat…
Unfortunately, I have fallen in love with you.
Wen Yu ruthlessly turned off the phone and began to prepare for the next scene. Suddenly his assistant walked over with a person beside him.
Wen Yu frowned unexpectedly as he watched Lu Sui.
The assistant told Wen Yu embarrassedly: “I already said you don’t have time, but he insisted on coming in to find you, and I couldn’t stop him…”
Lu Sui’s expression was calm and there was no emotion on his stern face. He looked at Wen Yu sharply: “I need to talk to you.”
Wen Yu didn’t want to pay attention to him at all, “I have nothing to say to you.”
Lu Sui’s thin lips pursed and he said deeply, “It’s about Lu Zhen.”
Wen Yu smiled coldly: “We have broken up, isn’t it what you wanted?”
Seeing that Wen Yu was about to get up and leave, Lu Sui stepped forward and stood in front of him. His voice was tight and painful: “You are right, I regret it.”
Wen Yu finally stopped.
Lu Sui laughed. His lips were almost bloodless, “I have something very important to tell you.”
The assistant looked at Wen Yu anxiously. Wen Yu gave him a calm look, then said to Lu Sui: “Let’s go over there and talk.”
There were only two of them here.
Wen Yu looked at him thoughtfully and said lightly: “Whatever you want to say, make a long story short. I will be filming later.”
Lu Sui gave a wry smile. He regretted not heeding the warning Wen Yu had given him back then, but unfortunately it was too late…
He was silent for a moment before saying slowly: “I hope you can go back to see Lu Zhen… he still loves you.”
Wen Yu raised his eyebrows but his eyes were slightly cold: “I don’t know what you’re planning, you know…If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t break up at all. Who are you acting for now?”
“I know you won’t believe me now, but what I’m going to say next is true…” Lu Sui took a deep breath and said slowly and sincerely, “I hope you can go back to see him. He has never let you go, he left to protect you.”
No, you don’t understand at all. He doesn’t love me. If he loved me, he won’t leave.
I don’t need his protection either.
But when Wen Yu looked at Lu Sui, he was curious as to what else he could say. He chuckled lightly with a cold expression in his eyes. “Let’s see if you can convince me today.”
………………
After Lu Sui moved back in, Lin Ziran couldn’t keep watching dramas and playing games at home all day. He was afraid that Lu Sui would think he’d been possessed, so he was inevitably more reserved.
Thinking about it this way, he regretted letting this bear kid come back.
How comfortable and happy had it been to be alone?
Lin Ziran was out for a whole day, and then in the afternoon, he suddenly received a call from Lu Sui. The other person anxiously wanted to ask him out for dinner.
You can eat at home, why do you want to eat out?
Having said that, seeing the child’s pitiful appearance, Lin Ziran couldn’t bear to refuse and readily agreed.
Seeing that it was nearly time, Lin Ziran drove to the destination.
It is the peak hour.
The densely packed vehicles were like a pack of migrating ants. Lin Ziran held the steering wheel when suddenly, his phone rang.
It was Zhao Mingze.
Lin Ziran hesitated for a moment before he picked it up and said indifferently: “What is it?”
Zhao Mingze’s low and sweet voice sounded, “Are you going to see Wen Yu now?”
Lin Ziran felt that this phone call was a bit strange. “I’m going to see Lu Sui, but no matter who I meet, it has nothing to do with you.”
Zhao Mingze chuckled softly when he heard these words, “What? Lu Sui told you that? It seems that he didn’t tell you… he secretly arranged for Wen Yu to meet you.”
Lin Ziran was taken aback and hesitated.
Zhao Mingze joked: “He was the one who tried to break you two up before and he is also the one who’s working hard to help you guys reconcile.”
Lin Ziran hesitated, wondering if what Zhao Mingze said was true.
At this moment, Zhao Mingze smiled again and said: “By the way, I called you to tell you not to make a pointless trip. If you don’t want Wen Yu to have an accident, you better come to the address I’ve sent you within an hour. I will wait for you here.”
Lin Ziran’s face changed drastically. He slammed on the brake and asked, “What do you mean?”
Zhao Mingze slowly said, “Don’t you understand what I mean? So, do you want to take a gamble?”
He hung up after speaking.
Lin Ziran turned pale. He suddenly remembered that there was originally such a plot.
At the end of the story, Lu Sui chased Wen Yu, but Wen Yu still refused to forgive Lu Sui. Then Zhao Mingze kidnapped Wen Yu and threatened Lu Sui, demanding Lu Sui to surrender his company’s shares. Lu Sui Working desperately to save Wen Yu. He finally moved Wen Yu and they finally got married!
Lin Ziran had complained about the bloody plot at that time. This villain didn’t want to be a good president, but resorted to kidnapping, blackmail, injury…simply too arrogant. In the end he fell from grace. It wasn’t worth it after paying so much for the protagonist shou’s love.
But now that the plot had already collapsed to this stage, coupled with the time they spent together, Lin Ziran subconsciously felt that Zhao Mingze was not like the kind of brain-dead fool described in the script. Although his treachery was real, he acted very cautiously and rationally. He wouldn’t fall easily into this trouble.
Unexpectedly, he was really sick!
This incident still happened, but the target of the threat had changed from Lu Sui to himself. Lin Ziran immediately grew anxious. He didn’t expect that just as he was ready to quit the game, he even implicated Wen Yu. Even if the other person was an NPC, it was very embarrassing.
Without hesitation, he turned the steering wheel and drove to the address given by Zhao Mingze.
The road grew increasingly desolate and remote. Lin Ziran came to a newly developed high-end community. The occupancy rate was very low because the land was still new. He could guess that this was one of Zhao Mingze’s properties that was very suitable for doing bad things…
Lin Ziran stopped the car, looked at the house number, and finally stood in front of a single-family villa and knocked!
Soon, the door opened.
Zhao Mingze’s eyebrows were gentle and deep. He smiled slightly and said, “You came.”
Lin Ziran pushed him away fiercely and walked in. Looking around, he did not see Wen Yu. He turned his head and frowned, “Where is Wen Yu?!”
Zhao Mingze was not in a rush to answer. Instead, he poured two cups of tea slowly, one of which was handed to Lin Ziran, “You are too angry. I will tell you where he is after a cup of tea. Don’t worry, he is fine.”
Lin Ziran was not in the mood to drink tea, but he looked at Zhao Mingze’s calm expression, as if he wouldn’t talk about it if he didn’t drink it.
Lin Ziran drank the tea in one breath, slammed the cup on the table again, and looked at him solemnly. “I advise you not to do anything stupid. Release Wen Yu first, we can slowly talk.”
Zhao Mingze looked down at the bone china tea cup in his hand, and his phoenix eyes turned thoughtful under his silver glasses.
Lin Ziran intended to continue persuading him to abandon evil, obey the law and be an upstanding citizen so that wealth will naturally come to him in the future.
He didn’t expect to suddenly feel dizzy. With the corners of his lips pulled up, Zhao Mingze wrapped an arm around his waist just in time and placed him gently down on the sofa.
Lin Ziran’s vision had become a little blurred. He tried hard to lift his hand, but it fell weakly.
In a daze, he saw Zhao Mingze smiling at him, his smile was gentle and deep. Then, he heard Zhao Mingze whisper in his ear: “You are right, how could I do that kind of stupid things? There’s no good to be gained from touching Wen Yu, so I didn’t do anything. He’s still there waiting for you to show up… I just lied to you. Who knew that you would be so simple as to believe it. Once you heard Wen Yu is in trouble, you immediately threw yourself into my trap.”
Zhao Mingze sighed softly and a kiss fell on his forehead. His voice was hoarse: “You believed such a clumsy lie…it seems you really love him.”
Before Lin Ziran fainted, he thought: F***, Laozi was fooled by the script again
Lu Sui looked at Lin Ziran dazedly. His lips trembled and his dark eyes showed a pleading expression: “No, no…you are lying to me, right…”
Lin Ziran looked at him with pity and slowly said: “I didn’t intend to say anything, so you thought your mother died to save me. But you still found out and asked me again and again. I’ll admit it then…I won’t continue to lie to you, this is the whole truth.”
Lu Zhen is really the victim, but facing Lu Sui, he does not have a clear conscience.
This is the real reason why Lu Zhen had always wanted to make up to Lu Sui.
Lu Sui remained in a state of half-kneeling by the sofa. He was motionless, helplessness and hesitation in his eyes, as if something he believed… was once again ruthlessly shattered.
Lin Ziran, in a rare moment, turned soft hearted when he saw his appearance, but it was impossible for Lu Zhen to accept his brother’s remorse without hurting his conscience after learning the truth; Moreover, he is just a player with a mission, there is no reason for him to hide the truth from Lu Zhen.
So… Now that you know it, you should know about everything.
Lu Sui seemed to need time to calm down, and he would probably leave by himself once the kid recovers. This time, he didn’t believe that Lu Sui wouldn’t blacken. Lin Ziran decided to go for a walk and come back only after Lu Sui left!
He got up and left with the key, but Lu Sui did not stop him this time.
But where should he go now?
Lin Ziran flipped through his wallet and accidentally saw a black membership card. He suddenly remembered, isn’t this the high-end club that Lu Zhen often goes to? It is a great place for eating, drinking and having fun!
In the past, Lu Zhen often came to this place frequently, but Lin Ziran only came twice. The last time it was because Zhao Mingze asked him.

[System: No, unless the player encounters danger in reality and triggers the player protection mechanism.]
Lin Ziran hesitated…just in time as the food was served.

Lin Ziran looked at him coldly and frowned: “So what? I didn’t come here to see you. Could it be that Mr. Zhao meant that I would not be welcome here in the future?”
After he said this, he saw Zhao Mingze’s thin lips tightened and his eyes darkened, as if trying to suppress something painful.
Lin Ziran’s heart jumped. During this period of time, he got along with Zhao Mingze too quickly, and Zhao Mingze was always so considerate and gentle to him, so he nearly forgot that this person was a crazy villain!

“Wen Yu.” Zhao Mingze sneered. He suddenly approached Lin Ziran, staring down into his eyes: “You only have Wen Yu in your eyes…Does he love you as much as I do?”
What? You’re talking as if the reason you did all these bad things is because you love me. You’re intending to persist as an affectionate character until the end?
Lin Ziran’s eyes twitched slightly and he laughed at himself: “You love me? You love me so you deceived me and hurt the person I love. Is this how you love someone?”
After speaking, Zhao Mingze’s hand was shaken off.
“Love is not an excuse to hurt others.” Lin Ziran looked into his eyes with a painful and determined expression, and said every word slowly: “Don’t show up in front of me again.”
He turned around and left, cold and ruthless.
But only the system knew he was panicking.
[Lin Ziran asked anxiously: Zhao Mingze didn’t follow, right?]
[System: …No.]
[Lin Ziran: That’s good, that’s good!]
【system:……】
Lin Ziran walked out of the club hurriedly. Fortunately, Zhao Mingze didn’t chase after him. He thought that this place was too dangerous, so he took out the black card and threw it directly into the trash can.
Then he simply turned around and went to the mall, watched two movies in a row, ate supper, and did not return home until late at night.
The door was closed and there was no light inside. Lin Ziran heaved a sigh of relief. It looks like Lu Sui should have left.
Today was too difficult…
Lin Ziran opened the door and walked in. He put on a pair of slippers and prepared to go back to his room to rest. But when he passed by the sofa, he heard a very soft voice: “Brother…”
Lin Ziran turned abruptly and saw Lu Sui’s gloomy face in the darkness and almost forgot to breathe in shock!
Don’t you know how to turn on the lights?!
Wait, don’t tell him Lu Sui has blackened by now and is trying to kill him to avenge his mother? Does he hate him so much? Is he going to die here today? But… Isn’t it alright to quit the game once he dies? Then he won’t resist…
It’s just that this game was really a huge loss. The plot was so messy and he died in the hands of the protagonist. He’d probably just get a D grade…
Just as Lin Ziran was in a trance, Lu Sui came to him, step by step. He was looking at him with sadness and pain, and said hoarsely: “I already understand. It’s not your fault that she fell to that point. She only had herself to blame. I know… you just want to protect yourself…
If it weren’t for her, nothing would have happened. We would still be the same as before, right…”
Lin Ziran finally showed an unexpected expression. He thought that Lu Sui would leave and thought that Lu Sui would blame him, but he had never expected that this would be the result.
This child does not seem to be hopeless.
Lu Sui looked at Lin Ziran greedily and humbly, and saw that he had not left like before. After a long time, he reached out his hand and hugged him cautiously, with his chin buried on the side of his neck, he choked: “Brother… please don’t leave me behind. As long as you let me stay I’ll do anything. Except for you, I have nothing left…”
Lin Ziran took a deep breath helplessly.
If Lu Zhen really existed and could hear these words, he will probably never have that nightmare again…because you see, Lu Sui didn’t blame you at all. You have done nothing wrong.
So there is no need to feel guilty, no need to suffer, no need to blame yourself.
Lin Ziran suddenly laughed and he said, “Okay.”
If you want to stay, just stay. Anyway, the plot has already collapsed into a mess and he didn’t expect to be able to bend it back. Just look at Lu Sui’s current appearance of only having his brother in his eyes. Even if you beat him to death, he wouldn’t try to snatch his brother’s boyfriend away again.
Who would have thought that one day, it would be so hard to wear a green hat?
………………
Lin Ziran unexpectedly had a good sleep.
Suddenly a question came to mind while he was lying in bed the next day.
Lin Ziran asked puzzledly: “Since I can unlock the hidden plotline of ‘Lu Zhen’s Secret’, why didn’t I receive a prompt about the hidden plot when Zhao Mingze said he liked me? Is this not a hidden plotline too?”
【system:……】
After Lin Ziran finished asking, he patted his head and laughed to himself: “I understand! Because he doesn’t like me at all, it’s just because the plot deviated and changed. It must be the butterfly effect. Since he doesn’t really like me, it’s not a hidden plot!”
[System:…Yes, you are right. That’s it.]
Lin Ziran washed his face and went downstairs. He walked to the dining room and was surprised. Lu Sui actually cooked breakfast!
This child has been home for so long, but this was the first time he has cooked by himself! Does he really know how to cook?
Lu Sui smiled shyly at Lin Ziran, and said flatteringly: “Actually, I often cook by myself when I was abroad. Brother, try it.”
Lin Ziran sat down unceremoniously. He picked up his chopsticks and tried it. Yi, this tastes good, he deserves praise for doing well! “Very good.”
When Lu Sui saw that Lin Ziran was willing to eat the food he made and said it was good, his eyes suddenly became hot. After so many years, he never thought there would be such a day. If only he knew the truth sooner…
He wouldn’t have done so many wrong things and taken so many detours.
Lin Ziran was quite comfortable at first, but then he saw that with just a casual compliment, Lu Sui’s eyes were red and he looked so moved that he was about to cry. He was a bit embarrassed. Hey, you were once a domineering president. ! Don’t you know that this is hurting your scumbag image?
When he thought about how a good scum gong had now become a crying bum beetle, Lin Ziran sighed deeply. After all, he couldn’t see Lu Sui and Wenyu’s love drama.
Lu Sui keenly perceived the melancholy in Lin Ziran’s eyes and his hands under the table clenched. What followed was the incomparable self-blame because it was he and Zhao Mingze who forced Lin Ziran and Wen Yu to break up. Brother must still be unable to let go of Wen Yu…but he couldn’t say it, so he felt sad.
Lu Sui couldn’t forgive himself even more thinking about how he was when he first came back. He even thought about stealing his brother’s lover.
Although… he was jealous that his brother had another person he liked more, but as long as he can stay with this person now, he doesn’t dare to expect more.
He just wanted to make up for his mistake.
………………
“CUT–”
The director clapped his hands and shouted, “This scene is perfect! Wen Yu, you can take a break first, we will shoot the next one in half an hour.”
The staff came to help Wen Yu untie the wire and his assistant quickly took a coat and put it on him.
The assistant asked nervously: “Why did you have to do the scene personally just now? Your injury has just recovered, you have to pay more attention to it. I even found a substitute for you, but you didn’t use it.”
Wen Yu said lightly: “I’m fine.”
Seeing this, the assistant could not say anything and silently helped Wen Yu get a bottle of water.
Since breaking up with Lu Zhen, Wen Yu has been more taciturn than before and he has worked harder, doing everything by himself… There was no difference from before, but his assistant knew that he had not let go of that person in his heart.
It’s just his pride that prevented him from begging someone who doesn’t love him.
The assistant shook his head and turned away.
Wen Yu laid in the chair and closed his eyes to rest. After a while, he opened his eyes again with a complicated look on his face and finally took out his phone.
He opened Weibo and searched for “Ranran chasing stars and forgot to eat”.
This is a micro-blog with few fans and few posts, but it can be seen that the other party was still using this account, and occasionally liked and forwarded content from some accounts.
Ten days ago, he liked his picture.
Six days ago, he liked a promotional video of his new drama.
A day ago, he reposted a Reuters photo of him, with the caption: Looking forward to it.
Wen Yu scanned the Weibo account from beginning to end until he saw the last photo. The picture was a signed photo of himself, with the steering wheel of the vehicle in the background. Under the photo, it says: I saw Yuyu today, and I got an autographed photo. He looks better than on TV, and his voice is sweet. Love him forever.
The corners of Wen Yu’s lips rose subconsciously, do you think I can’t recognize your hand? Can’t recognize your car? In fact, I found out a long time ago, but I just pretended not to know.
If he didn’t see it with his own eyes, it’s hard to imagine that a man who is calm and reserved on the surface would have such a cute side behind him. It seems a bit contradictory, but this is what he really is like as if he really loves him so purely…
You followed me silently even when I was unaware…
But what are you doing now?
After breaking up, why do you still pay attention to me?
The smile on Wen Yu’s lips gradually disappeared. He squeezed the phone and a trace of despair appeared in his eyes. In fact, you don’t love me that much, you are just like those fans who keep saying that you love me, you just like the thought of me. Once you encounter difficulties, you can easily retreat…
Unfortunately, I have fallen in love with you.
Wen Yu ruthlessly turned off the phone and began to prepare for the next scene. Suddenly his assistant walked over with a person beside him.
Wen Yu frowned unexpectedly as he watched Lu Sui.
The assistant told Wen Yu embarrassedly: “I already said you don’t have time, but he insisted on coming in to find you, and I couldn’t stop him…”
Lu Sui’s expression was calm and there was no emotion on his stern face. He looked at Wen Yu sharply: “I need to talk to you.”
Wen Yu didn’t want to pay attention to him at all, “I have nothing to say to you.”
Lu Sui’s thin lips pursed and he said deeply, “It’s about Lu Zhen.”
Wen Yu smiled coldly: “We have broken up, isn’t it what you wanted?”
Seeing that Wen Yu was about to get up and leave, Lu Sui stepped forward and stood in front of him. His voice was tight and painful: “You are right, I regret it.”
Wen Yu finally stopped.
Lu Sui laughed. His lips were almost bloodless, “I have something very important to tell you.”
The assistant looked at Wen Yu anxiously. Wen Yu gave him a calm look, then said to Lu Sui: “Let’s go over there and talk.”
There were only two of them here.
Wen Yu looked at him thoughtfully and said lightly: “Whatever you want to say, make a long story short. I will be filming later.”
Lu Sui gave a wry smile. He regretted not heeding the warning Wen Yu had given him back then, but unfortunately it was too late…
He was silent for a moment before saying slowly: “I hope you can go back to see Lu Zhen… he still loves you.”
Wen Yu raised his eyebrows but his eyes were slightly cold: “I don’t know what you’re planning, you know…If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t break up at all. Who are you acting for now?”
“I know you won’t believe me now, but what I’m going to say next is true…” Lu Sui took a deep breath and said slowly and sincerely, “I hope you can go back to see him. He has never let you go, he left to protect you.”
No, you don’t understand at all. He doesn’t love me. If he loved me, he won’t leave.
I don’t need his protection either.
But when Wen Yu looked at Lu Sui, he was curious as to what else he could say. He chuckled lightly with a cold expression in his eyes. “Let’s see if you can convince me today.”
………………
After Lu Sui moved back in, Lin Ziran couldn’t keep watching dramas and playing games at home all day. He was afraid that Lu Sui would think he’d been possessed, so he was inevitably more reserved.
Thinking about it this way, he regretted letting this bear kid come back.
How comfortable and happy had it been to be alone?
Lin Ziran was out for a whole day, and then in the afternoon, he suddenly received a call from Lu Sui. The other person anxiously wanted to ask him out for dinner.
You can eat at home, why do you want to eat out?
Having said that, seeing the child’s pitiful appearance, Lin Ziran couldn’t bear to refuse and readily agreed.
Seeing that it was nearly time, Lin Ziran drove to the destination.
It is the peak hour.
The densely packed vehicles were like a pack of migrating ants. Lin Ziran held the steering wheel when suddenly, his phone rang.
It was Zhao Mingze.
Lin Ziran hesitated for a moment before he picked it up and said indifferently: “What is it?”
Zhao Mingze’s low and sweet voice sounded, “Are you going to see Wen Yu now?”
Lin Ziran felt that this phone call was a bit strange. “I’m going to see Lu Sui, but no matter who I meet, it has nothing to do with you.”
Zhao Mingze chuckled softly when he heard these words, “What? Lu Sui told you that? It seems that he didn’t tell you… he secretly arranged for Wen Yu to meet you.”
Lin Ziran was taken aback and hesitated.
Zhao Mingze joked: “He was the one who tried to break you two up before and he is also the one who’s working hard to help you guys reconcile.”
Lin Ziran hesitated, wondering if what Zhao Mingze said was true.
At this moment, Zhao Mingze smiled again and said: “By the way, I called you to tell you not to make a pointless trip. If you don’t want Wen Yu to have an accident, you better come to the address I’ve sent you within an hour. I will wait for you here.”
Lin Ziran’s face changed drastically. He slammed on the brake and asked, “What do you mean?”
Zhao Mingze slowly said, “Don’t you understand what I mean? So, do you want to take a gamble?”
He hung up after speaking.
Lin Ziran turned pale. He suddenly remembered that there was originally such a plot.
At the end of the story, Lu Sui chased Wen Yu, but Wen Yu still refused to forgive Lu Sui. Then Zhao Mingze kidnapped Wen Yu and threatened Lu Sui, demanding Lu Sui to surrender his company’s shares. Lu Sui Working desperately to save Wen Yu. He finally moved Wen Yu and they finally got married!
Lin Ziran had complained about the bloody plot at that time. This villain didn’t want to be a good president, but resorted to kidnapping, blackmail, injury…simply too arrogant. In the end he fell from grace. It wasn’t worth it after paying so much for the protagonist shou’s love.
But now that the plot had already collapsed to this stage, coupled with the time they spent together, Lin Ziran subconsciously felt that Zhao Mingze was not like the kind of brain-dead fool described in the script. Although his treachery was real, he acted very cautiously and rationally. He wouldn’t fall easily into this trouble.
Unexpectedly, he was really sick!
This incident still happened, but the target of the threat had changed from Lu Sui to himself. Lin Ziran immediately grew anxious. He didn’t expect that just as he was ready to quit the game, he even implicated Wen Yu. Even if the other person was an NPC, it was very embarrassing.
Without hesitation, he turned the steering wheel and drove to the address given by Zhao Mingze.
The road grew increasingly desolate and remote. Lin Ziran came to a newly developed high-end community. The occupancy rate was very low because the land was still new. He could guess that this was one of Zhao Mingze’s properties that was very suitable for doing bad things…
Lin Ziran stopped the car, looked at the house number, and finally stood in front of a single-family villa and knocked!
Soon, the door opened.
Zhao Mingze’s eyebrows were gentle and deep. He smiled slightly and said, “You came.”
Lin Ziran pushed him away fiercely and walked in. Looking around, he did not see Wen Yu. He turned his head and frowned, “Where is Wen Yu?!”
Zhao Mingze was not in a rush to answer. Instead, he poured two cups of tea slowly, one of which was handed to Lin Ziran, “You are too angry. I will tell you where he is after a cup of tea. Don’t worry, he is fine.”
Lin Ziran was not in the mood to drink tea, but he looked at Zhao Mingze’s calm expression, as if he wouldn’t talk about it if he didn’t drink it.
Lin Ziran drank the tea in one breath, slammed the cup on the table again, and looked at him solemnly. “I advise you not to do anything stupid. Release Wen Yu first, we can slowly talk.”
Zhao Mingze looked down at the bone china tea cup in his hand, and his phoenix eyes turned thoughtful under his silver glasses.
Lin Ziran intended to continue persuading him to abandon evil, obey the law and be an upstanding citizen so that wealth will naturally come to him in the future.
He didn’t expect to suddenly feel dizzy. With the corners of his lips pulled up, Zhao Mingze wrapped an arm around his waist just in time and placed him gently down on the sofa.
Lin Ziran’s vision had become a little blurred. He tried hard to lift his hand, but it fell weakly.
In a daze, he saw Zhao Mingze smiling at him, his smile was gentle and deep. Then, he heard Zhao Mingze whisper in his ear: “You are right, how could I do that kind of stupid things? There’s no good to be gained from touching Wen Yu, so I didn’t do anything. He’s still there waiting for you to show up… I just lied to you. Who knew that you would be so simple as to believe it. Once you heard Wen Yu is in trouble, you immediately threw yourself into my trap.”
Zhao Mingze sighed softly and a kiss fell on his forehead. His voice was hoarse: “You believed such a clumsy lie…it seems you really love him.”
Before Lin Ziran fainted, he thought: F***, Laozi was fooled by the script again
