Emerging from the haunted house, Que You directly approached Chi Zezui.
"Do you like Wen Tingxue?"
"..."
Chi Zezui's temple twitched. "Can you pick a more appropriate place? This is the restroom! Can you ask me somewhere else?"
Que You paused, "I'll wait for you outside."
After a few steps, he turned back, "Hurry up!"

Chi Zezui: "..."
Hurry up for what? He didn't even want to go anymore!
Pulling up the zipper of his pants, Chi Zezui walked out.
Que You handed him a cigarette, "To drown your sorrows."
Chi Zezui chuckled, "This young master doesn't need it."
"Oh?" Que You raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean? You're not going to fight for her?"
Chi Zezui glared at him. "What? You really want me to get involved?"
Que You put the cigarette in his mouth, lowered his head to light it, and said nothing.
After a long while, he finally spoke. "Seriously, I don't want you to."
He knew it was unfair to A Rui.

But if he showed his feelings, what would be the point of Brother Yu's long efforts?
Where would they stand?
What would the little girl think?
It was a situation where a single move affected the whole board; it was best to maintain the status quo.
"Don't blame me for favoring Brother Yu. He took care of you a lot since you were kids, and besides..."
Que You took a deep drag of his cigarette, then exhaled.
"Wen Tingxue became the Wen Tingxue she is today because Yu Wenli pampered her little by little. You can't be so cruel to him just because you like her, right?"
"I know!"
Chi Zezui impatiently interrupted, "I know better than you. That's why, from the beginning, I never intended to confess my feelings!"
The only time he admitted it was to Que You.

From now on, there would be no more.
Que You was stunned for a moment. "When did you start liking her?"
Chi Zezui shook his head dejectedly. "I don't know, but... during that car race in Jiangcheng, that was the first time I knew I liked her."
Brother Yu said he saw it at the bar.
He didn't think so at the time.
He could only say that the saying "love starts without a reason and deepens over time" was truly accurate!
Que You calculated the time and murmured, "It's been this long... you really aren't going to...?"
"Mmm."
"Actually, Luo'er is also quite good, and she treats you well," Que You said tentatively. "She also looks a bit like Wen Tingxue..."
"Don't talk to me about substitutes!"

Chi Zezui interrupted irritably. "Wen Tingxue is Wen Tingxue, and Hao Lu'er is Hao Lu'er. I can distinguish them clearly; neither can replace the other."
When he first started dating Hao Lu'er, he didn't know he liked Wen Tingxue. He had simply followed his heart and accepted Hao Lu'er's confession.
After he figured out who he liked, he quickly explained everything to Hao Lu'er.
Que You pursed his lips, looking a bit conflicted. "Then you..."
They were all brothers, and no one's sadness felt good to him.
Chi Zezui, however, seemed to take it in stride.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, I'll never marry the person I love in this lifetime."
Whether it was the rules of the Chi family or his philandering nature, it was destined that he would be estranged from love in this life.

That evening, Chi Zezui boarded a plane without a word.
By the time Hao Lu'er heard the news and rushed over, the plane had already taken off.
She hastily booked the next flight.
Sitting in the waiting hall, fiddling with her phone for a long time, Hao Lu'er still sent a WeChat message to Wen Tingxue.
Saying that she and Chi Zezui had gone abroad and not to worry.
She knew that given Xue'er's personality, she would message Chi Zezui.
Although their contact was detrimental to her, only A Rui would be happy to see her message.
She wanted him to be happy.
Wen Residence.
"Chi Zezui left very strangely, in such a hurry."

When she received the message, Wen Tingxue was on a video call with Xu Kexin.
She also told Xu Kexin about it, who commented, "He left very strangely, in such a hurry."
Wen Tingxue blinked but didn't think much of it.
"He's probably just busy. When he was in the capital before, he got a lot of calls, urging him to train. It seems there's a competition soon."
Speaking of competitions, the young girl immediately sat up straight and asked, "Xing Jiahe doesn't know you're in the capital yet, right?"
They had agreed to keep it a secret. Xu Kexin nodded, "Yes. The competition is tomorrow, and I've got the tickets."
She paused and added, "Sister Zhi Shu sent them over."
Wen Tingxue recalled their last meeting. "Is her condition good?"
Xu Kexin shook her head with a heavy expression. "Not very good."
In less than a month, the spiritual energy on Yu Zhishu's body had visibly diminished.

After hanging up the call, Xing Jiahe video called. Xu Kexin found a suitable spot to answer.
"Why are you still outside?"
The young man stood in the corridor of the training base, smoking.
Dressed in black with golden hair, his features were cold, exuding an air of indifference that kept people at bay.
Yet, the way he looked at the screen was filled with deep affection.
He recognized at a glance that she wasn't home.
Xu Kexin was silent for a few seconds. "Ah, I came out to buy something."
She silently moved the camera closer to avoid him noticing anything else.
Fortunately, Xing Jiahe wasn't particularly observant, and his attention was quickly diverted.
After a few pleasantries, Xu Kexin suddenly fell silent, her starry eyes fixed on the cigarette at his lips.

"..."
Xing Jiahe's heart skipped a beat. He said in a slightly timid tone, "I've been under a lot of training pressure lately..."
Despite saying that, he quickly extinguished the cigarette.
Xu Kexin sighed silently. "But you can't smoke one after another."
In the time they were chatting, he had already smoked three.
Playing esports was already physically demanding, and at this late hour, smoking so heavily.
"Okay, I know," Xing Jiahe nodded obediently. "I'll... smoke less from now on."
Xu Kexin didn't notice the pause in his words and smiled faintly. "You can smoke when you're stressed, but you can also call me."
Call me?
Xing Jiahe suppressed the rising smile and shyly pursed his lips. "Will I be bothering you?"

"Of course not."
"Okay, I'll remember that."
They chatted for about ten more minutes before Du Xi came to call him in. Xu Kexin thoughtfully ended the call.
The moment the screen switched to WeChat, Xing Jiahe felt a void in his heart.
His hand instinctively reached for his cigarette pack.
"Want one?" Du Xi walked a few steps, then noticing he wasn't following, returned and offered him a cigarette.
Xing Jiahe shook his head, simultaneously withdrawing his hand from the cigarette pack.
Du Xi lit a cigarette and took a puff.
"The competition is tomorrow. I heard your team hasn't been meshing well?"
This was a minor competition in the youth training camp, which he didn't take seriously, so he hadn't paid attention to it recently.

Xing Jiahe lowered his eyes. "Just okay."
Everyone in the youth training camp was a genius of fifteen or sixteen years old. His age was in an awkward phase.
He was also rather quiet, so many people didn't quite like him.
Naturally, their synergy was poor.
Du Xi patted his shoulder. "Here, strength is what matters. I believe in you, don't be discouraged!
"By the way, tomorrow is your first appearance. Have you decided on a name, or will you just go by Jiahe?"
Xing Jiahe stared for half a second, then looked up. "Quit smoking."
He stared at the cigarette in Du Xi's hand. Du Xi: "..."
"What's it to you if I quit or not? Even my wife doesn't manage me."
Du Xi was a chain smoker; asking him to quit was like asking him to die.

Xing Jiahe lifted his eyelids expressionlessly. "I said, my name is 'Quit Smoking'."
"Ah..." Du Xi gave an awkward chuckle. "Why would you choose such a name? What, did your mother issue an imperial decree?"
"No, it's my girlfriend's, an imperial decree."
Xing Jiahe shook his head, and his usually indifferent tone held a hint of visible tenderness.
Du Xi: "...??"
"A filial offering for you." He placed the remaining half pack of cigarettes in Du Xi's hand.
Du Xi stared at the boy's slender, straight back, looking a bit dumbfounded.
My goodness, the cold, aloof prodigy was actually henpecked?!
After hanging up the phone, Wen Tingxue sent WeChat messages to Chi Zezui and Hao Lu'er respectively.
She was about to go take a shower when Bian Wei called.

His tone was very aggressive. "You have a boyfriend?! You actually have a boyfriend?!"
