AHFAFTGTTT Chapter 33
by Volare[What kind of god-tier jealous scene is this?]
[Chengyue-gege is too doting, I might have been shipping the wrong pair.]
[Is anyone still paying attention to Lu Baoyu? Once Xu Chengyue arrived, why did no one bother with him? Where are Baoyu’s fans, where’s your beloved brother?]
[What beloved? I think he just has a lust-driven brain. Shangguan Yaoguang just glanced at him, and he thought the other party was madly in love with him.]
[Xu Chengyue’s rebukes were so satisfying, turning into a fan.]
[Actually… he probably doesn’t think he’s rebuking people…]
[With Yue-zai’s personality, he might think he’s educating his younger brother, yes, that must be it.]
[Qing Sha: So?]
[Isn’t this not so good, she’s a girl.]
[So what? The girl didn’t say she wanted it. On the other hand, Lu Baoyu wants this and that.]
[I think Qing Sha and Xu Chengyue are very familiar, look at her secretly smiling.]
No one can resist being charmed by unreasonable favoritism, Fu Yang unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, even the mood that had just been disgusted by Lu Baoyu turned for the better.
At this time, he was holding flowers in his right hand, because he always felt an unspeakable sticky feeling on his left hand.
“Can I leave for a while now?”
Fu Yang wasn’t good at recording programs, and didn’t know if he could leave at this time, so he leaned close to Xu Chengyue’s ear and asked in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chengyue immediately communicated with the production team and took him out of the hall.
“Going to the restroom? I asked where it is, and you have to walk along the corridor.”
“No, I’m just washing my hands.”
Fu Yang certainly knew the location of his own restroom, but he just wanted to wash his hands, so he stopped at the faucet in the back garden.
Although the weather was very good today, and the sun was warm, the water flow was still cold in the nearly December weather.
The water channel was surrounded by well-maintained flowers, and the two standing casually looked like they were filming an idol drama with a Monet garden filter.
He washed his hands several times with water, but he still felt a sticky, powdery scent, and the more he washed, the more irritable he became.
Fu Yang smelled the faint gardenia fragrance of the person beside him, spread his hands, and said:
“You help me wash them.”
Xu Chengyue hadn’t spoken all this time, standing quietly by the side. Upon hearing this, he didn’t think the request was too willful, but gently grasped Fu Yang’s hands, which had been chilled by the clean water, and slowly rubbed them, not letting go of each finger.
The two bent over, and only the sound of water flowed quietly in the beautiful garden, gradually tapping into the left atrium.
Fu Yang couldn’t help but look at his soft profile, his eyelashes were long and dense as he lowered his eyes, and his serious appearance was very…
Like the moon.
Fu Yang finally found a similar object to describe him.
Hazy and mysterious, always shrouded in a layer of soft light, attracting countless moths.
He suddenly understood why Ye Xiao liked him. No one could resist being attracted by Xu Chengyue in real life.
Today, he was wearing a white swallow-tailed suit, his slightly long silver hair tied up with a rubber band at the end, and he also wore single-sided silver-rimmed glasses, with the eyeglass chain hanging by his ear, like a butler from a manga. The originally serious dress was diluted by his inherent temperament, becoming gentle and powerful.
“Clean.”
The stream dripped into the cold spring, and Fu Yang came back to his senses, hearing him say softly.
Afterward, he felt a slight stinging pain. Looking down, Xu Chengyue was practically scrubbing off a layer of his skin.
So, he actually cares too?
Xu Chengyue went straight to Qing Sha as soon as he entered. He thought he didn’t see him at all.
Fu Yang tasted a different meaning, and suddenly thought that when Zhao Anqing wanted to add him on WeChat, it seemed to be like this too.
When he stood with others, Xu Chengyue would take a step back.
But after realizing this, Fu Yang didn’t feel smug. Instead, somewhere in his internal organs seemed to be torn open and knotted tightly with a dull pain.
He felt that he still didn’t understand Xu Chengyue very well. His emotions were always separated by a thin layer of fog, and if he wasn’t careful, they would disappear without a trace.
It was like now, after so long, Fu Yang realized that Xu Chengyue had long cared about him.
This made him feel a little scared for no reason. Xu Chengyue wasn’t as gentle as he appeared. He was someone who could give up everything in an instant.
He could take one step back, and he could take a hundred steps back.
Holding some kind of stubbornness and persistence, such as accumulating enough disappointment, he would turn around and leave without hesitation.
Just like Ye Xiao now, completely abandoned by him.
Xu Chengyue looked at the two clasped hands and suddenly said:
“Shangguan, is there anything you want?”
Fu Yang raised his eyes from his thoughts, “What do you mean?”
“I just feel I owe you too much.” Xu Chengyue took out a handkerchief from his suit pocket, wiped his hands for him, his eyes lowered, and he couldn’t see his expression, but the temperament he exuded was so gentle that it could drown people.
Fu Yang’s Adam’s apple moved slightly. Xu Chengyue never owed him anything. He was the one who owed Xu Chengyue too much, even staying by his side was for ulterior motives.
“I want to go home.” Fu Yang suddenly felt a little aggrieved, and for a moment wanted to confide everything to Xu Chengyue.
“Want to go home?” Xu Chengyue got a slightly unexpected answer, but silently arranged the itinerary in his heart, deciding to take him back to the orphanage after the program ended.
Fu Yang came back to his senses, realized what he had said, immediately stopped his surging thoughts, and quickly changed the subject:
“Are you acquainted with Qing Sha?”
“She should be considered my fiancée.”
Fu Yang: ???
“Then why did you give me the sunflowers?”
“Because Qing Sha is allergic to pollen.”
“Then you still prepared to hand them to her?”
“Just kidding.” Xu Chengyue’s eyes curved. Actually, he thought of Fu Yang the first time he saw the sunflowers. He also caught a glimpse of Fu Yang’s sparkling eyes, knew he liked them, so he teased him on purpose.
Fu Yang was a little unhappy, feeling like he only got a bargain because his fiancée was allergic to pollen.
“Former one.”
Xu Chengyue didn’t like talking about his own affairs, let alone anything that wasn’t glorious, but he couldn’t bear to see the young man’s disappointed expression and sit idly by.
“Her father was my high school teacher. After my parents divorced, I lived in their house for three years. After graduation, the teacher wanted me to take care of Qing Sha in the future.”
Qing Sha was three years older than him, extremely smart, but unable to take care of herself in daily life. It required a lot of patience to get along with her, and Xu Chengyue’s greatest advantage was that he had patience.
He later learned that the teacher had adopted him with the intention of making him a “childhood husband.”
From this short sentence, Fu Yang seemed to glimpse fragments of Xu Chengyue’s past life, and anger surged in his heart in an instant.
“Then you refused?”
“Qing Sha refused.” Xu Chengyue looked distantly at the entrance of the hall, vaguely seeing the figure of a short-haired girl, “She said she had someone she liked.”
Fu Yang suppressed the anger in his heart, “If she hadn’t refused, would you have agreed?”
Xu Chengyue retracted his gaze, staring at the water flow, “I don’t know.”
After his parents divorced, he was kicked around like a ball, only the teacher was willing to provide him with a place to live and support him to go to school.
Although they were very good to him, he was still living under someone else’s roof, and later he knew that the teacher’s intentions were not pure. When he found out, he thought, anyway, there was nothing he could do to repay them.
Eighteen-year-old Xu Chengyue was so withered that it seemed like all that was left of him was this body called Xu Chengyue.
After Qing Sha refused, he breathed a sigh of relief.
“Aren’t you angry?” The girl was usually timid, but never hesitated when it came to her bottom line, resolute and decisive.
“I… don’t know.” The boy stood blankly in place, he had received so little, so he wasn’t willing to give up the only remaining affection, so he retreated again and again, allowing them to use and arrange him, seemingly willing to accept even being skinned, boned, and eaten.
“A-Yue, liking can be hidden in your heart, but you must reject what you don’t like.”
Xu Chengyue learned a lot from Qing Sha, the most useful thing was the courage to refuse. Perhaps the teacher also knew that that matter had hurt his heart, so he would send him special products every year. Xu Chengyue would also send money back every month, but no longer communicated.
“I don’t owe them anything anymore.”
He should live the life he wanted.
“Sorry, I said too much about my own affairs.” Xu Chengyue smiled as gentle as ever, winter cherry blossoms fell on the corner of his eye, like a drop of tears, pure white and sacred.
“I want to hear it.” Fu Yang blurted out.
Then he turned his back a little embarrassed. Although he was curious, he had never been interested in other people’s growth, but he especially wanted to know what kind of person Xu Chengyue was. But once he knew, the torn wound would ache more intensely.
“Why?”
“Because… you are the most important person to me now.”
Fu Yang quickly found an excuse for himself in a panic. Yes, he wanted to rely on Xu Chengyue to go back, so he wanted to understand him. This logic was fine.
He turned around and faced Xu Chengyue, his originally deep voice now carrying some clear and bright youthful spirit.
A breeze blew, and the plants in the back garden carried a fresh and fragrant smell of soil, and cherry blossoms fell rustlingly, covering both of them.
Xu Chengyue lowered his eyes, suddenly feeling that this was pretty good too.
[Finally back!]
[Surprise inspection, what have the two of them been doing outside for so long!]
When Xu Chengyue and Fu Yang returned to the hall, everyone had arrived. In addition to the five members of Spark, the new guests were Lu Baoyu, Qing Sha, and an unfamiliar face.
That short-haired girl stood beside Qing Sha, half a head taller than her, not wearing a dress, but wearing a set of outdoor climbing clothes, looking very cool.
“Hello everyone, my name is Wen Jingxin, and I am an extreme challenge enthusiast.” She nodded simply, her whole person very cold.
After everyone finished their brief introductions, Zhang Shuang finally made his appearance.
“Ta-da! Being able to come here, I believe everyone has already received the invitation letter. Is anyone wondering what the Signal Tower Project is?”
“There are clues hidden in this villa. Successfully deciphering the clues based on the 4 props on the table will get you a wildcard. Note that the wildcard is very important in the subsequent programs.”
Hao Yun immediately raised his hand to ask: “Then I was late and didn’t get the props, what should I do?”
“Good question.” Zhang Shuang took out a box full of ping pong balls, “Next is the grouping.”
“Two people in a group, those who get the same color ball will form a team, so some teams may get two props. Conversely, some teams may not have any props at all.”
“Everyone, it’s time to witness the fate!”
