5. Scene of Bloody Slaughter~

【444：Host dada! Ye Jinzhou is coming over! He will arrive here in approximately three minutes!】

【Xie He：Very good, Baby. ???? 】

Xie He looked at the man in front of him. For a moment, he became absentminded.

This was the man he had loved with all his heart for eight years. It was the kind of love that was engraved into his bones and heart. But in the end, it had fizzled out. If he were to say that he didn’t have any regrets, he would be lying.

Back then, they were still young. For many things, it wasn’t just one person at fault. If one wasn’t mature enough, if one couldn’t empathize enough with the other, then little misunderstandings or mistakes would gradually accumulate until there was no going back.

The time they had spent together, those deeply engrained memories—over time, they had become fuzzy.

Could they start anew?

He asked himself this.

Xie He looked at Lu Jianing and said in the end, “Lu Jianing, we’re not a good match.”

After many years, now that the person he once loved the most was sitting in front of him, asking if they could start anew, the only thing he could say was… we’re not a good match.

Sadness flickered through Lu Jianing’s eyes. He slowly said, “You still blame me.”

Xie He shook his head, “You didn’t do anything wrong. I thought that you blamed me. It’s just that so many years have passed. We already have our own lives. There are some things that should be let go of once they’re over.”

Lu Jianing said, “But for me, it was never over.”

Xie He looked down and his lips quirked up. “Is that so? I heard that you haven’t married yet. Have Uncle and Aunt been pressuring you?”

Lu Jianing pursed his lips. “I won’t marry a woman.”

Xie He couldn’t help but let out a self-ridiculing smile. This person seemed to always have a way to affect him, to make him strange and unreasonable. His words just then really weren’t appropriate.

But he still couldn’t control himself. He couldn’t help but want to ask him this.

Why didn’t you give me such a concrete, certain answer back then? Why couldn’t you be at my side when I needed you the most? Ten years… why didn’t you come back and tell me this before I got over you?

Xie He’s eyes were fixed on Lu Jianing, but he didn’t ask a single thing…. He was no longer young. He would not get into such a ridiculous fit like a young, infatuated boy.

Moreover, these questions were no longer important.

Xie He only smiled in the end. “I’m sorry. I already have a boyfriend.”

Lu Jianing would occasionally pay attention to news about Xie He. He knew that he had been single for many years. He thought that Xie He still had feelings for him…. But why did he suddenly have a boyfriend? He looked straight into Xie He’s eyes and asked, “Really? It’s not just an excuse you’re using to reject me?”

Of course it’s true… Xie He was about to say. Suddenly, a pair of arms looped around his neck, and he heard someone speak softly into his ear, “Darling, who’s this?”

Xie He instantly turned stiff. He didn’t seem to expect that Ye Jinzhou would suddenly appear here. He felt a bit embarrassed, as if being caught having a tryst with his ex-boyfriend.

Even though there had been nothing between himself and Lu Jianing for a long time now, he still felt very uneasy in this kind of circumstance. He instinctively grabbed Ye Jinzhou’s arm and pulled it off him. There was a rebuking expression in his eyes. “Why are you here?”

Lu Jianing’s concentration was all on Xie He, so he didn’t notice Ye Jinzhou. Seeing the situation now, he was extremely shocked and surprised. He sized Ye Jinzhou up. This was a really young and handsome man. The other was also looking at him. His narrow phoenix eyes were imposing and strict.

Ye Jinzhou glanced at Lu Jianing. Soon after, he looked away in a careless manner, as if he didn’t take this opponent seriously. He turned and looked at Xie He, wronged, and said, “Didn’t you tell me to come get you? Did I come too early? Did I disturb you?”

Xie He raised a brow. He hadn’t told Ye Jinzhou to come pick him up. But Lu Jianing was still here, so it wasn’t a good time to expose Ye Jinzhou. He could only set it aside for now. He said, “No, I was about to get ready to go.”

Right then, Lu Jianing spoke. He looked back at Xie He and said with a smile, “It’s rare to see each other. Eat before leaving, ba. The dishes are almost here.”

Xie He saw that the dishes were indeed arriving. It wasn’t polite to leave right now. However, he felt really awkward with Ye Jinzhou’s sudden arrival.

Lu Jianing’s expression was normal and his tone was natural. He said, “Is this your boyfriend? How about introducing him to me?”

Xie He hesitated for a moment. Although he didn’t mind letting Lu Jianing know that he had a boyfriend, he still had to think before introducing them.

Ye Jinzhou sneered in his heart when he saw this. Did he feel uneasy meeting with his old lover? He smiled and took the initiative to say to Lu Jianing, “Let me introduce myself. I’m Ye Jinzhou. May I ask who you are?”

“Lu Jianing,” Lu Jianing’s response was very succinct.

“Hi,” Ye Jinzhou smiled, natural and relaxed, and then said to Xie He, “Since President Lu is inviting us to eat, let’s eat and then leave, ba.”

Even Ye Jinzhou agreed. It would seem too obvious if he still persisted in leaving now. Whatever. He had already come. Xie He nodded, “OK.”

Lu Jianing seemed really happy. He called a waiter over. “We want to order a few more dishes. Right… Mr. Ye, do you have any foods you don’t eat? Can you eat spicy food?”

Ye Jinzhou smiled, “My tastes are about the same as Bai Mu’s. I’m fine with mildly spicy.”

The hand Lu Jianing was using to hold the menu clenched slightly. The two people smiled at each other, but there were glints of steel in the depths of their eyes. Fortunately, both of them were scheming, shrewd people. Very soon, they broke eye contact with normal expressions.

After ordering, Lu Jianing seemed to be really interested in Ye Jinzhou. He smiled and asked, “How long have you known Xiao Mu, Mr. Ye?”

Xiao Mu? He calls him so familiarly. Ye Jinzhou was displeased inside but there was a gentle smile on his face. “About a year, ba.”

“A year, ah&#k2026;” Lu Jianing smiled. There was a bit of inattention detectable in his tone, as if this short amount of time was not even worth mentioning. He only said, “Mr. Ye, what do you do for a living?”

How could Ye Jinzhou not hear the hidden contempt beneath Lu Jianing’s gentle and elegant tone? This was him trying to crush Ye Jinzhou as soon as they met. His eyes turned slightly cold. He didn’t quite want to reply to the second question&#k2026;. He didn’t think there was anything wrong in being Xie He’s secretary before&#k2014;he even felt proud of himself for playing Xie He like this&#k2014;but now that Lu Jianing was questioning him, he couldn’t speak.

No man was willing to be belittled by a rival in love.

At this time, Xie He suddenly said, “Jinzhou is currently helping me. He’s really great and helps me a lot.”

Indeed, Lu Jianing did not ask anything more. He said to Xie He, “That’s great.”

Right then, the dishes were served. Lu Jianing naturally pushed a dish towards Xie He. “I remember that when we were in school, you loved to eat this the most.”

Ye Jinzhou shot a look at Lu Jianing. This was a way of silently digging at him. This person was not at all as poised as he looked. Ye Jinzhou’s tone was cold. “When you were in school? That was more than ten years ago, ba. Bai Mu’s taste has changed a lot. He doesn’t like to eat this anymore.”

Xie He felt his head hurt. He was no idiot. How could he not see that his ex and current boyfriend were subtly crossing swords? He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He really regretted coming here.

Only, he couldn’t tell Lu Jianing off. After all, they had already broken up many years ago. In his eyes, Lu Jianing was an outsider and he had to maintain courtesy. Ye Jinzhou was his lover. Therefore, he reached over and secretly pinched his leg, telling him to stop before going too far and to not make things too ugly.

Ye Jinzhou’s eyes turned slightly cold. He knew that Lu Jianing must have an ulterior motive for coming to find Xie He now. He had come here to prevent Xie He and Lu Jianing from rekindling that old flame. That would make things difficult for his plans.

But right now, why… did he feel actual jealousy and anger?

You came out to meet your ex-boyfriend behind my back and now you want me to concede first?

Ye Jinzhou seemed to not understand Xie He’s hint at all. He smiled and said to Lu Jianing, “Was President Lu Bai Mu’s classmate?”

Lu Jianing nodded and smiled. “We were classmates from elementary school to university.”

Ye Jinzhou looked surprised. “That’s rare. Since you’re so familiar with each other, how come I’ve never seen you before? If we hadn’t met today, I wouldn’t even know that you two were friends.”

Lu Jianing’s expression grew rigid. This was really a stinky youngster who wasn’t willing to lose out at all.

Xie He really couldn’t continue watching this. He couldn’t help but say, “Let’s eat quickly. The food is already cold.”

Ye Jinzhou laughed and ate obediently. A smile bloomed on Lu Jianing’s face again. Midway, Ye Jinzhou and Lu Jianing would occasionally make ‘polite’ conversation. Xie He felt his head throb faintly. He had never thought that eating was such a difficult thing to do.

When it was time to leave, Xie He felt relieved. He had no interest in chatting and stood up hastily.

Lu Jianing saw that Xie He was about to leave with Ye Jinzhou and suddenly called out, “Xiao Mu.”

Xie He turned his head around and saw Lu Jianing flash him a comforting smile. He said, “Don’t worry about the matter with the bank. I will think of a way.”

“No need,” Xie He did not hesitate to refuse.

Lu Jianing didn’t say anything more. He maintained a smile on his face as he sent Xie He and Ye Jinzhou off with his eyes. When he couldn’t see them anymore, his expression slowly sank.

………………………………

As soon as Ye Jinzhou left the restaurant, the smile on his face vanished. He silently drove home.

When they returned, he kicked the door open and then pressed Xie He against the wall. With a cold voice, he asked, “Who was that?”

Xie He knew that he couldn’t fool the other. Moreover, he didn’t do anything he felt guilty about. He straightforwardly and honestly said, “My ex-boyfriend. However, I’ve lost contact with him for a long time already.”

“He’s still so enthusiastic despite having lost contact for a long time?”

Xie He was speechless. Actually, he didn’t think that Lu Jianing was willing to do this much for him. He could only explain, “I already told him that he didn’t have to help. There’s really nothing between us.”

Even if Ye Jinzhou didn’t exist, Xie He would not casually receive Lu Jianing’s help. Since he didn’t plan on starting again with him, he would not accept help from this person that would be difficult to pay back. He would think of something regarding the loan.

Ye Jinzhou didn’t believe him though. He suddenly smiled and tore off Xie He’s tie, tying the other’s hands behind his back before throwing him onto the bed.

Xie He’s expression changed. Although Ye Jinzhou liked to get kinky in the past, this was the first time he had tied him up. He could not escape, being pressed down onto the bed. He heard Ye Jinzhou’s deep voice behind him. This position of being completely in the other’s control made his scalp feel numb. “What are you doing?”

“Satisfying you, ah. So that you don’t have time to go meet with your ex-boyfriend.” Ye Jinzhou’s tone was frosty.

Xie He was a bit angry. “We were only talking about business. There’s nothing between us. Moreover, you still haven’t explained why you showed up!”

He had originally wanted to ask Ye Jinzhou this. Who would have expected that the guilty person would accuse him first and lead him astray. He nearly forgot about this matter.

Ye Jinzhou lowered his head and softly said into Xie He’s ear, “I was worried that you would drink too much and be dead drunk outside so I came over. Who would have known that you were fooling around with another man?”

Xie He struggled. “I wasn’t fooling around with him. And this isn’t the reason you were following me!”

Ye Jinzhou’s hand exerted a bit more strength, pressing Xie He down until he couldn’t move. “If I didn’t come, would you have rekindled that old flame with him?”

He kissed the nape of Xie He’s neck, licking him with his tongue.

Xie He trembled.

Darkness appeared in Ye Jinzhou’s eyes. This position made Xie He unable to see his expression. Right now, there was none of the gentleness he usually had on. There was only ice and a sliver of anger and jealousy.

Really, to hell with this. He was actually jealous, jealous that Lu Jianing knew this person for more than ten years, jealous that they loved each other for eight years, jealous that Lu Jianing possessed this person’s most beautiful emotions, possessed the most beautiful era of his life….. And what was he in comparison?

………………………………

Xie He was tormented until he had no strength left. Tears fell down, staining his eyelashes with a layer of water. His gaze was fuzzy. His physical strength was already lesser than Ye Jinzhou. Now that his hands were tied, he had no way of escaping.

Ye Jinzhou held Xie He in his arms and licked up his tears. He asked, “Do you still like him?”

Xie He didn’t want to reply but suddenly, his expression changed. He grit his teeth. “No… I don’t like him!”

“Remember your words.” Ye Jinzhou’s expression became gentle again. He gently caressed the person in his arms. This person’s fair body was full of marks he’d left. It was beautiful and made people want to wreak havoc on him.

There was a faint smile on his lips. Yes, he didn’t care about this person at all. He was just attracted to his body.

In the beginning, when he was approaching the other, he didn’t think that Bai Mu would be so attractive. Whether it was the way he looked when they were in bed making love or his ascetic, elegant appearance when he wore suits day to day… all of it was so attractive to him.

Gradually, he had become unable to look away and had slowly become addicted.

Desire arose in Ye Jinzhou’s eyes again. He pressed the other down again.

Xie He’s face was pale. He wanted to move away but he had no strength. His eyes were red and voice hoarse, “I really can’t do it anymore….”

Ye Jinzhou smiled. “You obviously can still talk. How can you not do it anymore?”

He then switched positions and continued.

The next morning, when Xie He woke up, he felt like his skeleton had come apart. He shut his eyes and pretended to be dead.

【444：Host dada, how do you feel? QAQ】

【Xie He：Really good, really good. Indeed, our ZhouZhou just needed a sense of danger. Recently, he’s been too self-controlled and too reserved for the sake of acting. He didn’t touch me much. I was worried on his behalf, ah…. Fortunately, he’s the type to understand how to take advantage of all opportunities given to him. 】

【444：……】Just now, his data must have been in disorder for him to actually say that, mn.

【Xie He：A helper gong is good, a helper gong is wonderful. Every helper gong is a cute little angel. Smile.JPG】

【444：O(∩_∩)O~】

【Xie He：If he worked hard to wait upon me every day, I would definitely love him more. ???? 】

【444：……】

【444：O(∩_∩)O~】Oh no, he almost forgot to smile!

Ye Jinzhou saw that Xie He really had no more strength left. He carried him to the washroom and cleaned him. Xie He didn’t give him any good looks. Today, there was no way he could go to work.

Ye Jinzhou made Xie He breakfast, trying to suck up to him. He fed him. “Are you angry?”

Xie He looked at him, displeased, and said, “What do you think?”

He opened his mouth and found that his voice was really hoarse. When he remembered those embarrassing words he had been forced to say and the sounds he had made last night, his face flushed red.

Ye Jinzhou noticed this and the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but twitch up. He looked wronged, “But it looked like you enjoyed yourself last night.”

The veins on Xie He’s forehead bulged.

He couldn’t be bothered to talk to him!

Xie He lazed around at home for the rest of the morning, but because they had a meeting at the company in the afternoon, he put on a shirt. While doing so, he noticed that even when he buttoned up to the topmost button, he could not hide the hickeys and bite marks on his neck. He was so angry that he didn’t give Ye Jinzhou any good looks during the entire journey.

He arrived at the company with a blank expression, pretending to ignore the others’ curious glances.

But in a short amount of time, everyone knew that President Bai had a fiery night last night. The employees all whispered in each other’s ears. They didn’t expect that someone like President Bai, who usually looked so elegant and conservative, actually had such a wild side! They really couldn’t tell, ah!

When Xie He arrived at the conference room, a vice president who was on pretty good terms with him, looked at him, astonished. He then flashed a filthy smile. “President Bai, your wild cat at home is quite fierce, ah.”

Ye Jinzhou, who followed Xie He from behind, chuckled very quietly. Xie He’s expression immediately became stiff.

Xie He coughed into his fist. “Let’s start the meeting.”

That vice president saw that Xie He didn’t plan on talking about this and didn’t say anything more. They walked into the meeting room together.

………………………………

After the meeting ended, Xie He returned to his office looking exhausted. A while later, Lin Ran came over. He had already noticed the marks on Xie He’s neck and lips. It wasn’t difficult to imagine what had happened last night. He said, rather angry, “Why did he do this? We’re in such a situation. Does he not know what moderation is? Don’t you know how others will look at you if you let him mess around like this?”

Of course Xie He wasn’t willing to let himself be seen like this. However, he couldn’t complain about his lover to Lin Ran. He explained, “It’s not his fault. This time is pardonable… it won’t be next time.”

Lin Ran was still really furious. If you really loved someone, you should see things from their perspective and think about what’s good for them. This kind of action that showed that he didn’t care about Xie He’s image or how this would affect Xie He’s work—the way he only cared about his own happiness—made it really difficult for him to believe that Ye Jinzhou truly cared about Xie He. But if he said this, it would only make Xie He displeased. He would even think that he was instigating things between them.

Lin Ran settled down his own emotions and asked, “What do you plan on doing about the bank? The financial report for this month has already come out. Our situation is not optimistic.”

A layer of gloominess appeared in his eyes when Xie He thought about this. He sighed. “I’ll think of something. First, put it on hold for a bit. See if our other films can bring in some income.”

Lin Ran’s mood sank. Their company was, of course, still filming other movies. However, there wasn’t much anticipation for them. After all, the other movies’ production and actors were not anywhere near the same grade/level as their previous film. Their debt was really not going to be easy to repay.

“Bai Mu, do you know who wants to ruin you?” Lin Ran suddenly asked.

Xie He’s expression sharpened. Actually, this was always something that really puzzled him. He was silent for a while and then said, “I’ve also thought about this. But I couldn’t think of who would want to ruin me like this.”

Lin Ran said, “I’ll think of a way to contact the people in charge of those movie theatres. It’s too much of a coincidence for all of them to make things difficult for us. However, their lips are shut tight and they’re not willing to say anything…. However, the more it’s like this, the more I’m worried that someone who is capable of doing this… is someone we will not be able to deal with.”

How could Xie He not think of this? Everything was like an invisible, giant beast, inching in from the shadows. However, he had no way to fight it. He didn’t even know who it was.

A long time later, Xie He said, “The other must have a motive for doing this. He will appear sooner or later. Perhaps it’s just a vile businessman competing with us.”

Lin Ran was silent. He obviously knew that this person would appear one day, but it would already be too late by then….

Xie He’s mood was heavy. Just then, his phone rang. He picked it up and looked surprised. He then said, “Thank you, OK, I understand.”

He chatted for a bit before hanging up. A complex emotion appeared in his eyes.

Lin Ran nervously asked, “What’s happened?”

Xie He said, “Bank President Song said that we need not be in a rush to repay the loan. He’s willing to give us an extension.”

Lin Ran also looked surprised. He did not believe that the other was doing this out of the good of his heart and said, “Why?”

Xie He looked down. “It’s Lu Jianing.”

Lin Ran’s eyes sharpened and his voice lowered, “It’s him.”

Xie He didn’t think that Lu Jianing would actually go there and be so efficient. He didn’t even have the chance to reject the other’s help.

Lin Ran looked into Xie He’s eyes and suddenly asked, “He came back to pursue you?”

Xie He nodded. Lin Ran really understood the matters between him and Lu Jianing. Because of this, there was nothing to hide.

Lin Ran felt that his voice had become a bit bitter. “What do you think?”

Xie He slowly shook his head. “You know that I already have a boyfriend. Lu Jianing is something in the past now.”

Lin Ran heard this and didn’t know if he should be happy or disappointed. Happy that Xie He had really gotten over Lu Jianing. Even if Lu Jianing had come back, he would not have a change of heart… but he was also disappointed that he hadn’t tried earlier. Would he have had a chance if he did?

Clearly, he was the closest to Xie He, but he had missed his chance.

The two of them were ruminating on their own thoughts and were both silent for a moment.

………………………………

Xie He returned home and hesitated for a long time before giving Lu Jianing a call. The other picked up really quickly, as if he had been waiting for his call. Xie He suddenly felt a bit nervous. He calmed his breath down and used a flat tone to say, “I said that you didn’t have to help.”

Lu Jianing laughed, playing things down, “It’s nothing major. Don’t take it to heart. I won’t make you pay me back for this.”

Bank President Song was not a gracious person. How could he be easy to persuade? Xie He heard Lu Jianing’s tone and suddenly felt very apologetic. “But….”

Lu Jianing beat him to it. He said with a laugh, “If you really feel embarrassed to accept this, then just treat me to a meal as thanks, OK?”

Xie He hesitated for a long time and then said, OK.”

Last time, they couldn’t talk because of Ye Jinzhou’s presence. He and Lu Jianing… should make things clear.

Xie He hung up and kissed Ye Jinzhou who was in the kitchen making dinner. He said, “Sorry, I have a business dinner tonight. I can’t eat at home.”

“Another business dinner?” Ye Jinzhou seemed really disappointed.

Xie He felt rather guilty. He averted his gaze and said, “Yes. It’s with President Zhao. We’re going to be talking about the other movies’ releases. You don’t have to wait for me. Go to bed early.”

He was worried that Ye Jinzhou would follow him, so he purposely said that he was meeting with President Zhao from his company. Moreover, he told the other not to wait for him.

Then, he changed and headed out.

【444：Host dada, why did you lie? ( ⊙ o ⊙ )】

【Xie He：Baby, you don’t understand. Lying is also something to help spice up love. Beautiful misunderstandings will arise from it. Just thinking about it makes me happy. Smile.JPG】

【444：……】Forgive him for being unable to understand the wonderfulness of lies…. _(:зゝ∠)_

【Xie He：ZhouZhou, this little annoying vixen, needs to be given a couple more raps on the head. If he really doesn’t like me, why is he using his body and wasting time and effort at my side? His body is more honest than his heart. I, his Daddy, really feel my heart breaking for him. 】

【444：……】

【Xie He：What a lovely night. ???? 】
