17. A Tragic Story About the Pains of Youth

Li Hongxuan hugged Xie He, the pain in his eyes no longer able to remain concealed.

When he heard the news, it was already afternoon. When he rushed over, it was just in time to see Teacher absent-mindedly leave the office…the originally thin and weak Teacher seemed even more pale to the point where he seemed like he would disappear off the planes of this earth at any time. Li Hongxuan silently followed from behind and did not dare appear before Teacher…right until he stared blankly at the scene of Teacher walking straight into the middle of ongoing traffic. In that instant, his heart felt like it was being clenched by another’s hand and was being squeezed to death.

If he hadn’t rushed over today, would what have awaited him be the news of Teacher’s death?

Li Hongxuan felt like he would soon stop breathing. He held Teacher tightly in his arms as if he was trying to use all his power to merge this frail body with his own.

“Teacher…” Li Hongxuan gazed at Xie He’s face, voice hoarse as he struggled to speak, “Let’s go back, OK?”

Xie He looked at him blankly, puzzlement filling his eyes. A long while later, he seemed to finally realize that Li Hongxuan had come. His lips quivered, and he said, “Let go of me, OK….”

These words were like a knife that fiercely stabbed Li Hongxuan’s heart. However, he forced himself to smile and speak softly, “Teacher, don’t be afraid. I don’t want to do anything to you. I just want to take you back.”

However, Xie He did not listen to him. He exerted all his strength to shove Li Hongxuan away, but no matter how hard he pushed, Li Hongxuan would not move. Xie He raised his voice, carrying an intense pain, “Let go of me, let go of me! Why do you have to treat me like this!?”

“Teacher…what are you saying…” Li Hongxuan’s expression froze.

“Those photos…” Xie He raised his eyes. For the first time, hate and indignation appeared in those always-gentle eyes, “Because I didn’t agree to your demands, you…why do you have to treat me like this!?”

Li Hongxuan’s heart fell to the ground.

Teacher thought that it was him who released those photos…this knowledge made Li Hongxuan feel so incredibly pained that it was like all the blood in his veins had frozen.

How could he bear to hurt Teacher?

The photos were actually from Sun Zeyang’s backup. He hadn’t been able to delete them from his computer in time. No one knew about this. Then, that computer was lost today….

This was all Li Hongcheng’s work. However, Teacher didn’t know this. Teacher only knew that the photos were with Li Hongxuan. Furthermore, he had also tried to use the photos to threaten him not that long ago too, so…it was very normal for him to misunderstand like this.

Although the photos were not released by him, if it hadn’t been because of his involvement, Li Hongcheng would not have pointed the spearhead at Teacher, so in the end, it was still his fault.

He had hurt Teacher.

Because of this unforgivable mistake, he had caused Teacher to fall into such circumstances. Originally, he was already so weak and pitiful. His Teacher already had such a hard life. How could he bear the ruthless malice of this world?

Li Hongxuan could feel the person in his arms struggling like his life depended on it. But even if he was doing his best, to Li Hongxuan, it still seemed rather weak. Despite his guilt, Li Hongxuan could not let go, because if he did, he would thoroughly lose Teacher forever. Li Hongxuan pressed down on Xie He’s head tightly, speaking into his ear, “I’ll explain what happened to you after we go back. If you want to take revenge on me, you can. But right now, go back with me first, OK?”

However, Xie He turned a deaf ear and continued to struggle with all his might&#k2026;.

Li Hongxuan sighed. He used his hand to strike at the back of Xie He’s neck, rendering him unconscious. Then, while ignoring everyone’s frightened glances, he directly carried Xie He away.

【444：Host dada, to tell the truth, the 2 point increase in the Favourability Value just now is baffling, ah.】

&#k3010;Xie He&#kUU1J;This is hard to understand? &#k3011;

【444：……】He doesn’t want to say too much ‘cause it will give Host dada a chance to attack him! ╭(╯^╰)╮

【Xie He：When a man is faced with someone he does not love, he will only feel guilty if actually guilty. However, when he’s faced with someone he loves deeply, that same guilt will transform into the catalyst for love. He will want to compensate for the mistreatment of his beloved. He will be itching to give his everything in order to right his wrong. The more Li Hongxuan feels he owes me, the more he will love me, and the more he will want to make it up to me. So, it is very normal for the Favourability Value to increase.】

【444：(⊙⊙) Oh.】

【Xie He：That’s why, Baby, it’s very normal for you not to understand this complicated emotion. You can be brave and ask questions. My expectations for you aren’t that high. ???? 】

【444：……】He doesn’t feel happy at all hearing these words! _(:3ゝ∠)_ Host dada unexpectedly doesn’t have any expectations for him! Is he such a useless system?

Xie He slowly opened his eyes and discovered that the clothes on his body had been switched. Right now, he wore a set of soft casual wear. This was an unfamiliar place. It ought to be Li Hongxuan’s home.

He pushed the door open just a crack, and the quiet voices outside floated in.

Sun Zeyang had probably been beaten up. He was badly battered, and he stood before Li Hongxuan, head lowered, “I-I’m sorry…I didn’t think that such a thing would occur….”

The fist hanging by Li Hongxuan’s side cracked from how hard he clenched it. However, he did not hit him again, “I don’t want to see you right now.”

Sun Zeyang looked at him with guilt, “Let me go explain things to Teacher! It’s my fault! It’s because I neglected this matter that things have come to this! This way, Teacher won’t blame you!”

Li Hongxuan fell silent and then revealed a dark smile, “Whether or not he blames me, it makes no difference right now….”

This situation has already brought harm onto Teacher. For them to investigate the source, aside from giving himself an excuse, it was meaningless to Teacher.

Sun Zeyang obviously understood this point and thus fell silent too.

At this moment the doorbell rang. Sun Zeyang turned to open the door and discovered that Allen stood outside. Allen’s golden hair was rather messy, falling over his forehead. His expression was grave. He had very likely rushed over here as he was still panting.

When Sun Zeyang saw him, his expression immediately changed. However, Allen seized the moment before he could even react to push the door open.

“Where’s Teacher, ne?!” His voice was anxious, and there was only worry in his eyes.

When Li Hongxuan saw him, how could he suppress the raging fire in his heart!? It was because of him that his beloved Teacher’s matter was discovered by Li Hongcheng. Furthermore, the method by which Li Hongcheng had hurt Teacher had come from Allen! Without uttering a word, he punched Allen heavily in the face!

This time however, Allen did not dodge nor did he fight back. He licked the blood from the corner of his lips and repeated, “Where’s Teacher, ne?”

“F*ck off,” Li Hongxuan’s voice was extremely repressed. If he hadn’t remembered that Teacher was here, he would have already killed Allen without hesitation!

Allen gave him a cold glare and repeated, “Where’s Teacher?!”

Sun Zeyang’s mouth also tasted bitter. He shot a glance at Li Hongxuan and then at Allen. He prepared himself to go drag Allen away. Although he also hated Allen’s conduct this time, he also knew that this was not Allen’s original intention. Moreover, if Allen stayed here any longer, Li Hongxuan would definitely lose all rationality. However, just as he was about to take a step forward, his line of sight inadvertently fell on the bedroom door and instantly met Xie He’s eyes!

“Teacher…you’re awake?” Sun Zeyang asked in surprise.

These words were like a magic spell. The two people who were about to pounce on each other both turned to look in the direction of the bedroom.

Xie He stared at them blankly, face white. His feeble body trembled underneath the oversized casual wear. Suddenly, he shut the door with a slam!

Li Hongxuan abruptly sprinted over and pushed the door open. He saw Teacher huddled by the foot of the bed, both hands hugging his knees, body shaking. Xie He looked up with his frightened black eyes, saw that Li Hongxuan and Allen were continuously approaching, and suddenly let out a mournful scream!

“Don’t come over, you two, don’t come over!” Xie He shrieked while trying to hide further inwards. However, his back was already against the wall. In the end, he could only tightly shrink into a ball like a little prey animal that was being forced into dire straits. He watched them with an extremely terrified expression!

Li Hongxuan’s movements immediately stopped.

Allen also stopped before the bed. He looked at Teacher who had completely broken down, and he was thoroughly submerged by the regret and pain within his heart.

It was his fault…if he did not incite Sun Zeyang to take nude photos of Teacher at the very beginning…if he hadn’t chosen to face-off with Li Hongxuan because of his selfishness and *, things would never have come to this.

His most beloved Teacher was destroyed by him.

What should he do in order to make up for his mistake?

【Ding, Allen’s Favourability Value +5. The current Favourability Value is 95.】

Li Hongxuan felt like his heart was being slowly sliced by a dull knife. It hurt so much his expression nearly twisted. However, in front of his startled Teacher, he forced himself to show a gentle smile. He slowly approached, and finally pulled the other’s trembling body into a gentle embrace, “Teacher, don’t be afraid. We won’t hurt you.”

Xie He, however, seemed to not hear him at all and continued to struggle with all his might, screeching, “Let me go! Wuwu…I beg of you, please let me go, OK….”

Li Hongxuan’s heart was dripping with blood. After a long time, he forced himself to speak with much difficulty, “Teacher, if you promise not to hurt yourself, I will let you go, OK?”

Xie He’s eyes were unfocused. He blinked vacantly, hoarse cries coming from his throat, “I didn’t seduce my students…I didn’t seduce my students…I didn’t…why won’t you all believe me….”

“Why won’t anyone believe me…” He suddenly cried out, biting into Li Hongxuan’s arm, eyes reddening.

When Allen saw this kind of Teacher, he suddenly staggered back, the blood in his face draining.

At this moment, he finally understood. He could not make up for the harm that he had inflicted.

He lowered his eyes and gazed deeply at Xie He, “Teacher, I’m sorry.”

He really wanted to touch Teacher’s pallid face. He really wanted to go over and embrace him, but he knew that he had no right to do so. Thus, he could only stand to the side, watching and apologizing, “Sorry.”

He could not forgive anyone who had hurt Teacher, including himself.

Li Hongxuan shut his eyes. Teacher had bit him with a lot of force as if he wanted to bite off a chunk of his flesh. However, compared to the pain in his heart, the pain from the bite was nothing.

He reached out with his other hand and gently caressed Teacher’s trembling back.

“Teacher, I know I was wrong,” Li Hongxuan looked at the person in his arms, profound struggle and pain evident in his own eyes. There was also tenderness and his unwillingness to let go. After a silent minute, his hoarse voice said, “I’ll let you go, so…don’t be afraid, OK?”

【Ding, the target Li Hongxuan’s Favourability Value +2. The current Favourability Value is 98.】

【Xie He：I think that I need a Golden Throat Dule Lozenge right now.】

【444：A Golden Throat Dule Lozenge will cost one experience point. Please confirm the exchange.】

【Xie He：Baby, your sense of humour needs to be upgraded, ah….】

【444：……Oh. Apathetic.jpg】

【444：Right…didn’t you say that Li Hongxuan wasn’t the type to let go?】In any case, if he doesn’t ask, he’ll be disdained. He might as well directly ask, ne! ╭(╯^╰)╮

【Xie He：Didn’t I say that I’ll teach him how to grow up?】

【444：……】

【Xie He：This is the pain of youth, the cruelty of growing up. Sigh.jpg】

【Xie He：After growing up, he will naturally understand the necessity of letting go. ???? 】

444 stared down at Li Hongxuan and Allen, who were so full of grief that they wished they were dead, from an outsider’s view. He then looked at the true God of Acting as Scum Man, Xie He, and suddenly felt indifference flood his heart….

The author has something to say:

I’ve said it before, this is gong abuse, hee hee hee. (*￣3￣)╭

Eve: Oh, my poor innocent 444….Baby, it’s only the second world.

Kara: Ah, I need a chiropractor. My neck hurts from all this emotional whiplash. _(:3」∠)_
