Abandon everything regardless of anything

Lost in thought, Yi Ziyan ate her food listlessly, her mind a jumble of thoughts, a
hazy, disoriented feeling.

It had been over two weeks since she'd seen Xiang Yuyang. The early spring weather was still cold; the snow hadn't melted. She wondered if his
cold was truly gone.

She'd heard from the people in the hall that some disobedient kids had caused trouble recently, smashing half of a
bar , making a huge mess. She wondered if that had bothered her. But with Tan Lingxi by her side,
it should be able to ease her burdens considerably, right?

She hadn't told Xiren about their affair; would she laugh at her?

She was afraid to see him because she was cowardly; she feared that if they met, it would be the last time.

Honestly, she missed him terribly.

Qinglong Hall.

"Xiang Yuyang! You're going out again?"

Tan Lingxi's sinister voice made Xiang Yuyang, who was trying to sneak out, stop obediently, inwardly
groaning and sighing incessantly.

"Lingxi, please, just let me go out for a walk..." Xiang Yuyang pleaded, but Tan Lingxi refused outright with a
stern face .

"No! You still have a ton of things to do, don't run away!" Just dealing with the funding, the two bars, and the three
restaurants was already overwhelming, and some impatient brats were also eager to take over the Blackwood Hall. This was giving him,
the head of the secret service, a huge headache. The hall master wanted to sneak out and mess around? No way!

Xiang Yuyang didn't actually want to dump everything on Tan Lingxi, but Tan Lingxi's meticulousness made him very
trusting, so he would keep an eye on everything, big and small, which led to Tan Lingxi developing this neurotic habit.

"Lingxi..." Xiang Yuyang sighed again, finally giving in.

"It's not that I won't let you go out, but let's deal with your little devils first!" Tan Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief,
putting Xiang Yuyang at ease. Thinking about it, he was right, and felt more confident.

"Then, my dear and virtuous Lingxi, would you do me the honor of having me treat you to dinner?"

Xiang Yuyang bowed to Tan Lingxi with feigned nonchalance. Tan Lingxi rolled her eyes at him, but couldn't stop the flutter in her heart.
She knew it was just Xiang Yuyang joking, but she still couldn't help but fall for him, damn it!

"Come on, you just don't want to face those little devils yourself, what excuse are you making up!"

Xiang Yuyang stuck out his tongue, not expecting his intentions to be seen through so easily. Tan Lingxi really knew him inside and out
, so he smiled brightly.

"Since you already know, Boss Tan, let's go." Xiang Yuyang maintained his cheeky tone,
making Tan Lingxi both amused and annoyed. "Who's your boss!"

The two laughed and joked as they arrived at "Starlight," a bar belonging to the Qinglong Hall. While ostensibly
a pub, it was actually a host club, and Xiang Yuyang was naturally the big boss.

As soon as Xiang Yuyang and Tan Lingxi entered, the sharp-eyed underlings immediately recognized them and hurriedly
and respectfully invited them to sit down.

"What brings you here, Boss?" Manager A-Guan asked, busy greeting the two. Xiang Yuyang smiled faintly, "Don't mind
us , you go about your business." Looking around, the bar was still quite crowded; any reprimand would have to wait until closing time.

Not long after they sat down, a commotion arose at the entrance, puzzling Xiang Yuyang. He beckoned to one of his underlings and asked,
"What's going on at the entrance?"

Upon seeing the hall master, the underling immediately shouted out the reason.

"It's the Blackwood Hall! We're not letting them in!" Tan Lingxi chuckled upon hearing this,
and Xiang Yuyang laughed too. These kids were really something!

"It's alright, let them in. There's no need for factionalism here. Don't let such a small
matter cause unpleasantness."

"But..." The underling hesitated upon hearing Xiang Yuyang's words, which puzzled Xiang Yuyang.

"What is it now?" "

It's Mu Xiren!" Everyone knew about his injury to the hall master, and they were all furious at the sight of him,
which was why they were even more reluctant to let him in.

Upon hearing it was Mu Xiren, Tan Lingxi frowned. "Kuroki Shinobu wouldn't let him go out alone,
so who else could it be?"

"I don't know his name, he wears sunglasses and a white coat, and looks like a ghost." The underling honestly
reported his observation, causing Xiang Yuyang and Tan Lingxi's expressions to change simultaneously.

"Could it be Yi Ziyan?" Tan Lingxi blurted out first. Xiang Yuyang shook his head solemnly. He knew Yi
Ziyan knew this place, and the reason he didn't come was to avoid running into him, so it must be Mu Xiren who sent him.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yuyang felt slightly relieved and patted Tan Lingxi's shoulder to comfort him.

"Don't be impulsive, don't cause trouble today." He didn't want to protect Tan Lingxi in front of Yi Ziyan, even though it was something he
had do...

Tan Lingxi nodded, and Xiang Yuyang put on a smiling face.

"Let's go, let's go to the door to greet them."

Arriving at the door, Mu Xiren looked at Xiang Yuyang, who was walking out, with a proud expression.

"Xiang Yuyang, your shop is so stingy..." Just as she was about to complain, and also to see
how Yi Ziyan would treat Xiang Yuyang with her there, Mu Xiren noticed.

"I'm sorry, it's just our kid being unreasonable. Please come in, and you too." Xiang Yuyang politely
smiled at Yi Ziyan, who had been standing silently behind Mu Xiren.

*Hmph, you're so fake! Let's see how long you can keep up this act!* Mu Xiren thought coldly, observing this.

*Sigh, Yuyang, I'm sorry, actually Xiren knows everything, but...* Yi Ziyan felt so apologetic towards Xiang Yuyang,
but her face remained perfectly indifferent.

"Thank you." Yi Ziyan remained expressionless, only bowing slightly before following Mu Xiren into
the shop . However, this action displeased Tan Lingxi, who grabbed Yi Ziyan's arm.

"Wait, is this how you thank someone?"

Behind his sunglasses, his eyes showed surprise. Yi Ziyan hadn't expected Tan Lingxi to provoke him at this moment, but
as long as he didn't respond, everything should be fine.

"Thank you, Tan Zhimi." Yi Ziyan gave Tan Lingxi a slight bow, his overly submissive attitude making Tan Lingxi...
Tan Lingxi seemed a little lost. Xiang Yuyang, who was walking ahead, noticed this and turned back to call out to the two, "What are you two still doing
standing outside? Lingxi, take good care of the guests!"

Tan Lingxi responded, then turned away resentfully, letting Yi Ziyan go in first.

Mu Xiren showed no fear in front of the Qinglong Hall members, but Yi Ziyan was cautious. He worried that Mu Xiren
might act impulsively, and if anything unexpected happened, Tan Lingxi alone was enough to give him a headache, let alone with Xiang Yuyang
present . He really didn't want to break ties with him like this.

"What would you like to drink? It's on me today. Have a seat." Xiang Yuyang casually sat down first, his long legs
crossed, naturally exuding an aura of leadership. Yi Ziyan, who had only ever seen him joking and carefree,
was completely dumbfounded by this side of Xiang Yuyang.

"Azi, Azi!" Mu Xiren nudged Yi Ziyan lightly with her elbow when she saw Yi Ziyan standing there blankly without making a sound. Yi Ziyan snapped
out of her daze, realizing her loss of composure. Her fair face flushed slightly, which amazed Xiang Yuyang.

"Master Xiang, it seems you haven't told Tan Zhimi about this yet..." Mu Xiren's
words startled Yi Ziyan, and in her haste to silence Mu Xiren, Yi Ziyan stood up.

"Xiren!"

Yi Ziyan's loss of control not only stunned Tan Lingxi but also shocked Xiang Yuyang. Only one thought
swirled

Mu Xiren knows?

"Azi, you..." Mu Xiren hadn't expected such a strong reaction from Yi Ziyan. Her tone was apologetic .
Yi Ziyan slowly sat down, her eyes behind her sunglasses filled with helplessness. She looked at Yuyang, knowing that he had also breathed a sigh of relief.

Tan Lingxi looked at the situation with some surprise. His keen senses told him even with his eyes closed that Xiang Yuyang was definitely
hiding something from him, and it was very likely related to the two men from the Blackwood Hall.

"Ah Guan, bring the drinks up for the guests." Xiang Yuyang quickly snapped out of his daze and turned to give the order, his eyes fixed on
Mu Xiren. Beneath his friendly gaze, Yi Ziyan sensed a hint of wariness.

"What brings you here today? How is Brother Blackwood?" Xiang Yuyang asked politely, while Mu Xiren pouted.

"Our leader is certainly very good, but our people suffered a bit of a loss here last time. I just wanted to
see what kind of place it is that would allow our people to be bullied, and even accused us of smashing up the shop? I think it's
alright; being smashed is a good opportunity to renovate, and maybe business will even be better."

Mu Xiren's words were full of provocation, sounding harsh and already infuriating
the people Mu Xiren glanced at them indifferently, picked up the wine on the table, and took a small sip.

"Leader Xiang, I feel like that uncle behind you doesn't really like me being here. He keeps glaring at me,
it's so scary!"

Xiang Yuyang glanced behind him, knowing that these juniors were impatient, and made up an excuse to send them away.

"Ah Guan, you don't need to keep me company here. Go do your work, and you all, go back to your jobs!" Xiang
Yuyang helplessly shooed the group away from him.

"But Master..." Someone still wanted to protest, but Xiang Yuyang glared at him coldly.

"No buts."

Tan Lingxi stared at Mu Xiren, not expecting this kid to be so outspoken.

"We should apologize for what happened last time. These guys were too impatient. Every time I told them not to be impulsive and
to be careful not to hurt anyone, they just wouldn't listen. We're really sorry that they injured your people. But I also
find it strange that apart from some small things breaking in the shop, no one else seems to be injured. I think you
went easy on them. Thank you very much."

These words were ostensibly self-deprecating, but every sentence was actually saying that the people of Blackwood Hall were useless. Mu Xiren
could understand this, and he was furious, but he couldn't find a word to retort. Tan Lingxi's smile made him want to punch someone. Seeing that Mu
Xiren was about to lose her temper, Yi Ziyan had no choice but to smooth things over. Although he wasn't good with words,
he took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes, and met Tan Lingxi's gaze without flinching.

"Tan Zhimi, we were the ones who started the fight and vandalism. No matter what, we were in the wrong.
I apologize to Master Xiang again. I hope you won't take offense; the younger generation in my family are ignorant, and I believe you won't hold it against them
."

His words were well-chosen, making Xiang Yuyang truly adore Yi Ziyan, and a smile naturally appeared on his face. Mu Xiren stubbornly
refused to look at him, but Tan Lingxi was somewhat allergic to this smile. He didn't like it. Why? He
didn't understand himself; it just made him uncomfortable!

"Sigh, it's all in the past, why bring it up again? Don't worry about it, don't take it to heart.
If you two came here today just for such a small matter, it's too serious. I hope this place can help you relax and get some rest,
that's what I wanted to say, don't be shy."

Xiang Yuyang said with a smile. Mu Xiren noticed that although Xiang Yuyang seemed timid, he was actually quite composed.
Even such provocation couldn't provoke him. Her prejudice against Xiang Yuyang lessened slightly, but she still
didn't take him seriously. She knew Yi Ziyan didn't want to stay here any longer, and she had achieved her goal, so she downed the wine in her glass
in one gulp.

"Forget it, forget it, it's not fun. I can't even get into an argument with you, it's pointless, I'm done. Ziyan, let
's go , bye-bye, Tan Zhimi, and you, Hall Master Xiang."

Xiang Yuyang stood up with a smile and waved to Mu Xiren, but unexpectedly, Mu Xiren added another sentence.

"Remember to confess to Tan Zhimi as soon as possible, you can't hide it for much longer anyway."

These words made Yi Ziyan's heart skip a beat, and Xiang Yuyang froze on the spot.

"Xi Ren..." Yi Ziyan looked at Mu Xi Ren, who had walked away with a terrible headache, knowing that her
relationship could no longer be hidden.

"Uh, thank you for reminding me." What a nuisance! Xiang Yuyang forced a bitter smile,
knowing that if Tan Lingxi found out, it wouldn't be as simple as just laughing it off.

After seeing the two off, Xiang Yuyang ordered the shop to close temporarily and asked everyone to gather around his table. He sat calmly in
his seat , his handsome face serious. Tan Lingxi sat beside him, her mind filled
with Mu Xi Ren's words and the strange behavior of Yi Ziyan and Xiang Yuyang.

"Didn't I tell you not to be impulsive?" As soon as Xiang Yuyang spoke, everyone lowered their heads; no one dared to...
As he spoke, Xiang Yuyang's sharp gaze slowly swept over everyone present.

"So eager to cause trouble? So eager to die?" A bunch of idiots! Don't they know some people will worry about them?

"Master, we..." A boy who looked to be only a teenager tried to say something, but Tan
Lingxi's glare silenced him.

"I know you feel wronged, and you might wonder why I didn't confront the Blackwood Hall. You might even think
I'm being overly sentimental or cowardly. Think what you want. I just want you to think about one thing: if you died, who would be
sad? Who would cry?" Xiang Yuyang's eyes softened, and Tan Lingxi sighed. He knew Xiang Yuyang
treated everyone in the Azure Dragon Hall like brothers; how could he bear to see them hurt or wronged? Unfortunately, these
impetuous fellows not only failed to grasp Xiang Yuyang's feelings, but also foolishly did these stupid things!

Everyone fell silent at the question. Some thought of their families, others of their
lovers and friends. The more perceptive understood Xiang Yuyang's reason for asking the question and felt moved.
The more impulsive ones regretted their actions, tears welling in their eyes.

"The Hall Master is worried about us...

" "Hall Master, I'm sorry, I won't do it again." Ah Guan spoke for everyone, voicing their feelings. Xiang
Yuyang smiled, shook his head, stood up, gave Tan Lingxi a wink, and then pressed his hand firmly against Ah Guan's
drooping head, giving it a good rub.

"A next time? Okay, okay, it's good that you understand. Don't be so serious. I'm leaving now. Get back to work."

"Yes!" The energetic reply broke the previous silence. Xiang Yuyang smiled at the
young people , his heart filled with mixed emotions.

For him, the Azure Dragon Hall was where he grew up. It was the old Hall Master's selfless treatment that made him
who he was today. But what about them?

How many people in the Green Dragon Hall have families and loved ones? How many have people who are important to them?
He could do his best to secure one more day of peace. But who knows what tomorrow will bring? The underworld
is the underworld after all; for survival, killing is an unavoidable means.
How much ? Is it worth it? Is it really necessary

? Perhaps, in the past, he would have thought no problem, that death was death, since he had no family in this world. But
now , Xiang Yuyang hesitated.

Because of Yi Ziyan, because you are in my life, I am afraid of death, afraid that death will separate us.

Xiang Yuyang remained silent the whole way. Tan Lingxi walked silently beside him, piecing together the events of
the day , recalling the moments when he noticed Xiang Yuyang's unusual behavior. What could have caused Yi
Ziyan to lose her composure in front of him? It seemed to be related to Yuyang, but what could it be? And how could it involve
Xiang Yuyang?

A jumble of emotions made Tan Lingxi inexplicably irritable, so he stopped walking. Xiang Yuyang, sensing the person beside him
disappear , also stopped and turned to look at Tan Lingxi.

"Lingxi?" A bad premonition made Xiang Yuyang uneasy. Tan Lingxi looked at Xiang Yuyang,
her eyes filled with a chaotic yet clear message. Seeing this, Xiang Yuyang knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so he sighed.

"Fine, I'll talk." This relationship couldn't last forever; it was
a miracle it had lasted this long. It was time to lay the cards on the table.

Tan Lingxi looked around. It wasn't appropriate to talk on the street. Where was this...

? "Let's go there, Yuyang."

Following Tan Lingxi's gesture, Xiang Yuyang, who hadn't noticed his surroundings, finally saw his
location and was startled again.

"Babel?" How did he end up here? What a coincidence!

"What? Inconvenient? Aren't you all alone there? Unless... you're hiding a mistress? No
way... Huh?"

With a touch of self-destructive resignation, Tan Lingxi casually made a pointless joke that would only cause her pain. She looked up and
was startled to see Xiang Yuyang's strange expression, her alarm bells ringing. Could it be... he really was right? But even
so , his expression didn't need to be so serious, did it? Or... was he hiding someone he shouldn't be hiding, like,
the one who lost control just now...

? Please, how could that be!

Tan Lingxi quickly banished her wild thoughts. She nodded to Xiang Yuyang, thinking that Yi Ziyan shouldn't be
inside. "Let's go upstairs and talk."

Since the day the new house was completed, Tan Lingxi hadn't been here again, and her impression of the place
was vague Following Xiang Yuyang upstairs, Xiang Yuyang mentally prepared himself for how to tell Tan Lingxi.
Tan Lingxi watched Xiang Yuyang's back, instinctively feeling that this matter must be very serious; otherwise, Xiang Yuyang wouldn't be so cautious,
or perhaps...

afraid to speak up?

"Sit down, what would you like to drink?" Xiang Yuyang invited, but Tan Lingxi shook her head.

"No, thank you. I'll wait for you to tell me."

Taking off his coat, Xiang Yuyang casually tossed it onto the back of the chair, turned, and went to the bar to pour himself a drink.

"What is it...?"

"It's Ziyan." Before Tan Lingxi could ask again, Xiang Yuyang abruptly blurted out. Hearing
a name that shouldn't have appeared suddenly stunned Tan Lingxi. His mouth remained half-open, the words still lingering. It took him a while
to finally process what Xiang Yuyang had said.

"You... what did you say?" Had he heard correctly? What he just heard was...

"The person I'm dating is Yi Ziyan." Xiang Yuyang placed his hands on the bar counter, speaking
clearly .

Tan Lingxi's eyes widened almost to the point of popping out. His mouth opened and closed several times, as if he wanted to say something
but couldn't. His mind was a jumbled mess; this was completely beyond his comprehension, leaving his thinking
function utterly paralyzed.

Seeing Tan Lingxi's expression, knowing he was still in shock, Xiang Yuyang sighed, took
a sip of drink, and the hot alcohol made him frown.

"You said you and Yi Ziyan... are dating?"

Having finally managed to speak, Tan Lingxi seemed incredulous and asked again. Xiang Yuyang nodded.
Tan Lingxi felt a fire burning fiercely in his heart. Good, he understood. Now he understood everything.

"Very good, haha, very good, Xiang Yuyang, I understand. It started on Carnival Day, right?" No wonder your
behavior was so strange, always running around outside, even that night in the Special Economic Zone.

"That time in the Special Economic Zone, you deliberately let him go. You knew jumping down wouldn't hurt him, right?
And later at the Unknown Restaurant, you did that on purpose too, because Yi Ziyan wasn't feeling well that day, you were afraid I'd hurt him,
weren't you?"

As expected of Tan Lingxi, once pointed out, he could explain everything clearly. Xiang Yuyang couldn't help but
admire him, but also felt a deep sense of apology, and nodded.

"That's right, you're right about everything."

Tan Lingxi looked at Xiang Yuyang, whose tone remained calm, with both shock and anger, sensing not a trace of remorse in his voice
.

"What kind of behavior is this?" Is this really love? Absolutely no regrets? No desire to explain or
clarify ? What about their long-standing relationship?
Where does her past conflict with Yi Ziyan fit in?

"Are you playing me? You think this is funny?" Tan Lingxi, enraged, lost control, rising
and forcefully grabbing Xiang Yuyang's collar, pulling him close until their noses almost touched. Tan Lingxi showed no
intention of pulling away, glaring at Xiang Yuyang. Xiang Yuyang, unfazed by Tan Lingxi's angry stare, remained unmoved.

"I didn't mean to play you, Lingxi," Xiang Yuyang calmly stated his feelings.

"Why?" What am I then? What am I to you?

Pushing Xiang Yuyang away forcefully, Tan Lingxi took several deep breaths to
calm the emotions she had been suppressing. Xiang Yuyang looked at Tan Lingxi with a hint of pity in his eyes.

How could he not understand Tan Lingxi's feelings? He wasn't a block of wood. Perhaps at first he genuinely mistook Tan Lingxi's
thoughtfulness for friendship, but over time he began to think and observe. Perhaps Tan Lingxi could hide her true feelings well in her daily words and actions
, but her eyes didn't lie. The look in Tan Lingxi's eyes made him
realize that this was why Tan Lingxi was willing to do things for him. He had always been like this, silently doing things for him,
always ready to help , because Tan Lingxi's heart was entirely devoted to him, just like his own heart, given unreservedly to Yi
Ziyan. Once given, it could never be taken back.

"I'm sorry, Lingxi."

*Slap!*

Tan Lingxi slapped Xiang Yuyang hard across the face, trembling with rage. She bit her lower lip, her face turning
deathly pale . Xiang Yuyang's cheek immediately swelled up, showing that Tan Lingxi had truly shown no mercy.

"I didn't come here to hear you say such things! Xiang Yuyang, you bastard! Where do you put the Green Dragon Hall?
Where do you put all the people who believe in you? Huh?" Don't give me your apologies; I want to know what you're thinking
!

Overwhelmed with emotion, Tan Lingxi's eyes reddened for the first time in front of Xiang Yuyang. However, the usually stubborn Tan Lingxi,
despite his anger and pain, didn't let the tears fall. Seeing this, Xiang Yuyang felt another pang of sadness. In a completely
natural moment, Xiang Yuyang raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears welling in Tan Lingxi's eyes. This action
sent a chill down Tan Lingxi's spine. He forcefully pushed Xiang Yuyang's hand away and hurriedly retreated.

"Lingxi!" Xiang Yuyang reached out to grab Tan Lingxi, who was staggering, but it was too late. Tan Lingxi
tripped over the coffee table behind her and fell backward. Luckily, there was a sofa behind her, and Tan Lingxi landed on the sofa without getting hurt.

"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"

Tan Lingxi covered her face with her hands, her voice filled with sorrow. Xiang Yuyang felt a lump in his throat.
How could their years of relationship have turned out like this? He obediently stood still, watching Tan Lingxi's chest heave violently. He understood that Tan
Lingxi was extremely agitated, but he didn't know how to comfort her.

Damn it! How could she lose control because of Xiang Yuyang's unintentional act of kindness? He doesn't love you, Tan Lingxi,
never has. Don't be silly, wake up, wake up...

"Lingxi," after hesitating for a long time, Xiang Yuyang finally decided to speak, looking at Tan Lingxi.

"I know I know this will upset you, but please believe me, I never meant to lie to you.
I'm sorry ." Tan Lingxi lay quietly on the sofa, without saying a word.

"When I first met him, his white clothes were stained by me. When I saw him, I thought he was an angel."

Tan Lingxi listened quietly, a bitter smile playing on her lips. She hadn't expected his casual joke to
be true.

"Later, I don't know what possessed me, I impulsively dragged him here, and I practically
raped him..." Thinking of their first time, Xiang Yuyang felt a sweet warmth in his heart. "We slept
together. It's funny, but it wasn't until I saw him out that I realized I hadn't even asked his name." If he had asked
then , would everything have been different? No one knows, and no one can go back and start over.

"That night in the Special Economic Zone, we didn't know each other's identities until he pointed a gun at me. I thought I
would never think of him again, but then I came here, and he was at the door, holding the key I gave him. Only then did I fully understand..."

"You loved him from the very first sight." Tan Lingxi finished Xiang Yuyang's sentence bitterly, still lying on her back
. Xiang Yuyang nodded. Even though Tan Lingxi covered her eyes, her response to Xiang Yuyang was
crystal clear .

What a fateful encounter. If our meeting had been like this, would you have fallen in love with me?
Would you have even glanced at me?

"He killed my brother, my twin brother." Tan Lingxi's dreamlike voice startled Xiang Yuyang.

"You said he was an angel? Heh, perhaps, but to me, he was death."

The scene from that time flashed through Tan Lingxi's mind, as clear as if it were yesterday.

"He pointed a gun at my brother. I didn't know how to use a gun back then. I can never forget his eyes,
that inhuman, bloodthirsty look. He didn't even need to fire a gun; he was a man who could kill with just his eyes. I also remember the look of disgust on his face when my brother's blood splattered on him, as if he were seeing the ugliest thing
in the world . But that was my brother's life..."

Tan Lingxi seemed to be transported back to that moment. Though her voice was muffled, Xiang Yuyang heard it clearly.

"So I practiced shooting diligently, constantly chasing Yi Ziyan. I almost killed him, but because of that,
I realized the gap between us. I could never kill him, I could never catch up to him, even in matters of the heart.
Years of effort couldn't compare to that one moment of encounter... I'm so pathetic..."

Finally, tears streamed down her face. Xiang Yuyang seemed to see Tan Lingxi's heartbreak, yet he couldn't comfort her at all,
because he was also one of the culprits. Tan Lingxi's words choked him up.

"Lingxi, you are my most important friend. No one can replace you," Xiang Yuyang said sincerely.
These were the only words he could think of to comfort Tan Lingxi. Tan Lingxi laughed, but to Xiang Yuyang, the laughter
sounded like crying.

"Don't try to comfort me, Yu Yang. Don't I know you? If you can't think of anything to say, then don't say anything.
Don't make the atmosphere even more awkward, and make me waste my time figuring out how to end this. It's

exhausting for me." Tan Lingxi sat up abruptly, his face no longer streaked with tears. Instead, he wore his usual bright,
sunny smile. He walked around the table to Xiang Yu Yang, his eyes instantly softening.
This transformation stunned Xiang Yu Yang. He had never seen Tan Lingxi like this before, never. Then, Tan
Lingxi gently stroked Xiang Yu Yang's cheek.

"It hurt a lot when I hit you like that, didn't it?"

Xiang Yu Yang was so shocked by Tan Lingxi's behavior that he couldn't speak or react
. Tan Lingxi was like a stranger to him.

"Yu Yang, I..." A warm breath brushed against Xiang Yu Yang's face.
Tan Lingxi, slightly shorter than him, tiptoed, her already delicate face tilting slightly upwards. Her rose-petal-like lips
seductively pressed against Xiang Yu Yang's, enveloping him in an extremely ambiguous atmosphere.

Their lips were less than three centimeters apart. Tan Lingxi's breath was alluring, and Xiang Yu Yang slowly closed his eyes, his hands
involuntarily encircling her waist.

"...Just kidding, you idiot." Just as their lips were about to touch, Tan Lingxi suddenly blurted out
these words, startling Xiang Yu Yang and easing his tension. Tan Lingxi gently pushed him away, a half-smile
on her face Yu Yang's face flushed slightly. He couldn't deny that he had indeed been
seduced by Tan Lingxi just now, his mind in turmoil.

Actually, Tan Lingxi wanted to kiss him, but the moment Xiang Yuyang closed his eyes, he hesitated.

Once they kissed, their relationship could never go back to just being friends. Just like
the reason Tan Lingxi had never explicitly stated it, love is fleeting, but a lifelong friendship is irreplaceable. Undoubtedly, he wanted to stay by Xiang Yuyang's
side , even if he wasn't the most important person to him. He wanted to stay by his side, so he chose to leave.

"I..." Xiang Yuyang wanted to say something, but Tan Lingxi reached out and covered his mouth.

"Don't say anything, don't say anything. I believe what you say. You know, I've always believed you."

Unable to resist, he leaned forward slightly, resting his head against Xiang Yuyang's chest. Xiang Yuyang's
breath enveloped him, warm enough to make him want to cry. He exhaled. Xiang Yuyang didn't refuse, but simply tilted his head
back, brushing the hair from his forehead.

"No matter what, I only want you to be happy, but given the current situation, you two can't possibly be happy,
and I think you understand that. I can't help but be prejudiced against Yi Ziyan; I don't want to see you suffer, but I
have to stop you two, simply because of your identities."

No one is better off; no matter the choice, someone will suffer, whether it's loving, being loved, or a relationship destined to end badly
. They all suffer the torment of reality and the cruelty of fate.

Not wanting his loved one to suffer, yet unable to avoid stopping them, Tan Lingxi hesitated for the first time. He
didn't know if he was doing the right thing. Everything he had done in the past, except for Yi Ziyan, was for
Xiang Yuyang. Now, he had to stop them—was it truly because of their mutual antagonism, or because…

selfishness?

Feeling Tan Lingxi's sigh against his chest, Xiang Yuyang sighed as well. He gently placed his hand on Tan Lingxi's
waist , pulling Tan Lingxi's body close to his. He felt Tan Lingxi's body tremble slightly, and
patted his waist reassuringly.

"You're right, you did the right thing, thank you, Lingxi. I've never had a chance to tell you, but
I understand everything you've done. You've worked so hard these past few days, thank you. Like I said before, you're my most important
friend, no one can replace you in my heart, no one."

Finally, he burst into tears. Xiang Yuyang's heartfelt words caused Tan Lingxi's feigned strength to crumble. He had never seen him cry before.
Xiang Yuyang could only hold him tightly. Tan Lingxi clutched Xiang Yuyang's clothes, his sobs making Xiang Yuyang's heart ache.

He had been secretly in love with Xiang Yuyang for years, never asking for any response, only wanting to be by his side.
He had never asked for any verbal promises. But now, hearing these words from Xiang Yuyang's mouth, all his years of pretense crumbled
overnight.

No one can give endlessly. Even the deepest love will tire if it goes unrequited, and even the strongest heart
will be wounded. Even without expecting anything in return, Tan Lingxi was still tired, tired of this uncontrollable heart, tired of this timid
self. Heaven knows, this was enough for him. He didn't ask for the same love, he didn't ask for the same effort.
As long as Xiang Yuyang could feel his sincerity, it would all be worth it.

"Damn it..." Hearing Tan Lingxi's choked words, Xiang Yuyang chuckled. After so many years together,
how could he not know Tan Lingxi's personality?

"You're such a show-off." Xiang Yuyang laughed at him. Tan Lingxi was a little embarrassed, pulled away from Xiang Yuyang's hand, and turned around
, roughly wiping his face.

"I wasn't crying, it's just..."

"Okay, okay, no one was crying just now, I was just drooling in my sleep." Xiang Yuyang laughed and ruffled Tan
Lingxi's hair. Tan Lingxi shook his head unhappily, letting Xiang Yuyang's hand run wild.

"I'm leaving."

Xiang Yuyang nodded. Tan Lingxi knew he was going to stay and wait for Yi Ziyan. He didn't say anything, just gave Xiang Yuyang
a "no problem" smile, and walked to the door. Xiang Yuyang followed behind him. Tan Lingxi suddenly turned around and took a step...
Stepping to Xiang Yuyang's side, Tan Lingxi stood on tiptoe and tilted her head back. Xiang Yuyang thought she was going to kiss him goodbye,
so he didn't flinch. Unexpectedly, Tan Lingxi turned her head and bit his earlobe, making Xiang Yuyang cry out in pain. Tan Lingxi then released her, pleased with herself
. "Hmph, just to teach you a lesson!" Tan Lingxi looked at the teeth marks on Xiang Yuyang's earlobe with satisfaction . Xiang Yuyang
looked miserable and aggrieved.

The elevator doors opened, and Tan Lingxi stepped inside, turning back to look at Xiang Yuyang.

"Yuyang..." Tan Lingxi hesitated, and Xiang Yuyang waited, understanding in his heart.

"You know what I want to say." Seeing his expression, Tan Lingxi knew he understood. Xiang Yuyang's expression showed
some bitterness, and he nodded. "I will."

The elevator slowly descended. Tan Lingxi leaned against the wall and closed her eyes.

I'm sorry, I didn't want to hurt you, but this time, I can't. I truly love you, Yu Yang.
You love him too, don't you? I wanted you to be happy, yet I took your lover's life. I'm sorry. You'll hate me
, won't you?

Standing before the door, Yi Ziyan hesitated for a long time.

Once upon a time, opening this door had become the happiest and most anticipated thing in his life, because
he knew that here he would wait for the one he loved, and he loved him too. The two of them could cast aside everything and
embrace each other , without caring about the outside world. But now…

Does opening the door mean they must part ways?

The door slowly opened.

Yi Ziyan looked up. Close before him was the person he had longed for day and night, the first person he had ever loved in his life,
the one he loved with his whole being, yet he had to leave.

Xiang Yuyang looked at Yi Ziyan with a heavy heart, reaching out to pull him into his arms. Yi Ziyan nestled obediently in his embrace,
feeling his disordered breathing, knowing that his feelings were the same as his own.

"Yu Yang, our relationship has hurt so many people."

Xiang Yu Yang hugged his lover tightly, kissing his fragrant hair repeatedly. If he could, he
wouldn't want to think about their future, knowing it was the most negative thing to do, yet he couldn't help but hope for it.

"Don't say anything, don't say anything, Zi, don't say anything."

Xiang Yu Yang picked Yi Zi Yan up and strode towards the bedroom. Yi Zi Yan stared at his resolute and handsome
face, captivated, and could see his panic.

Lying on the soft, comfortable bed, the two busied themselves removing each other's clothes. Yi Ziyan looked at
the scar on Xiang Yuyang's left shoulder, her heart filled with tenderness. Her slender white fingers gently traced it. Xiang Yuyang took her hand and kissed it.
Yi Ziyan breathed heavily, pulling Xiang Yuyang down into a passionate kiss. Their tongues intertwined with intense desire, and the fire of passion within them
instantly ignited. In their turbulent breathing, Xiang Yuyang's hand had already grasped Yi Ziyan's desire. Yi Ziyan gasped,
her fingers tightly gripping Xiang Yuyang's wrist, letting out a low moan.

"Mmm..." As if encouraged, Xiang Yuyang's movements became more vigorous. His other hand slid behind Yi Ziyan,
deftly probing into her lover's sensitive body. The sensation sent shivers down Yi Ziyan's spine, making her feel dizzy and
disoriented .

"No... fingers, I want... you... inside..." Yi Ziyan pleaded breathlessly in Xiang Yuyang's ear. Xiang
Yuyang kissed Yi Ziyan again, his fingers gently withdrawing, replaced by his already erect and proud member.
Yi Ziyan breathed heavily without restraint, filling the room with a blissful atmosphere.

"Mmm..." With the entry, Yi Ziyan arched her back, her nails digging into Xiang Yuyang's muscles. The narrow,
hot inner walls enveloped and clung to Xiang Yuyang, causing him to let out passionate moans, bringing Yi Ziyan to the brink of losing control.

"Ah..." Yi Ziyan twisted her waist, as if inviting Xiang Yuyang to penetrate her deeper. Xiang Yuyang's rhythm grew faster
and faster, the force of his thrusts becoming increasingly uncontrollable. The wet friction at their point of contact, the sounds of flesh colliding, and
their panting moans filled the small space, permeating the air with an atmosphere of passion.

"No...no more..." Yi Ziyan cried out, shaking his head wildly as if he couldn't take it anymore, while Xiang Yuyang kissed
his sensitive chest.

"I love you, I love you..."

"Ah, ah..." Yi Ziyan screamed, releasing beneath Xiang Yuyang, feeling a surge of heat coursing through
his body. He embraced Xiang Yuyang's body contentedly. Xiang Yuyang kissed him, trying to withdraw from Yi Ziyan's body, but Yi Ziyan
quickly stopped him.

"No, don't move." He looked up and kissed Xiang Yuyang's sweat; even the sweat after passion tasted so
sweet. How deeply had he fallen?

"But I'm afraid you'll be uncomfortable..." Xiang Yuyang said worriedly. Yi Ziyan's face was pale. Knowing
his lover was worried, Yi Ziyan smiled and shook his head, carefully changing his position so that Xiang Yuyang
could comfortably hold him without separating.

"No, I want to feel you." The feeling of having Xiang Yuyang was so wonderful that Yi Ziyan almost cried. At this
moment, Yi Ziyan felt so happy, so incredibly happy.

"Me too, it feels so good inside you, and..." Xiang Yuyang smiled, and Yi Ziyan felt the change in
her own erection and smiled back.

"It makes me want you forever..." The gentle rhythm made Yi Ziyan moan comfortably.

"You can have me all day long... whatever you want, I'll give it to you..." Yi Ziyan arched
her back , making her promise. The overwhelming pleasure Xiang Yuyang brought engulfed them both, plunging them into a raging sea of desire...
......

If possessing each other completely brings happiness, then I think I am happy. Let's not talk about the
foreseeable tomorrow, please hold me tight now.

If I survived in darkness, corpses, and blood before, then that night, because
I met you, I was reborn, so I am yours, I am yours.

Slowly opening her eyes, Yi Ziyan woke up in a familiar, warm embrace, and the first thing she saw was Xiang Yuyang's
worried and tender face.

"What's wrong?" Yi Ziyan chuckled, and Xiang Yuyang kissed his eyes, letting out a sigh of relief.

"When you fainted, I felt like my heart stopped."

This wasn't the first time Yi Ziyan had fainted during their passion, but it still startled Xiang Yuyang. Yi Ziyan smiled,
raising his hand to gently wipe the sweat from Xiang Yuyang's cheek. This was his lover, childlike and endearing.

"You should be happy," Xiang Yuyang frowned. "Why?"

"Because you made your lover experience ecstasy, you should be very proud." Yi Ziyan teased him, and Xiang Yuyang
finally laughed, "Silly.

" They fell asleep in each other's arms, the moonlight cold and clear. Xiang Yuyang and Yi Ziyan lay quietly, neither wanting to speak first.

"That mark... it's Tan Lingxi, isn't it?" Yi Ziyan suddenly blurted out. Xiang Yuyang nodded. Yi
Ziyan sighed and turned to face Xiang Yuyang.

"I can tell he likes you a lot." The way he looked at you was so serious. Xiang Yuyang smiled bitterly and touched
his earlobe. "You noticed?" Yi Ziyan nodded. Xiang Yuyang gazed at him affectionately and gently kissed his brow
. Yi Ziyan narrowed his eyes.

"I love you." Xiang Yuyang's mind flashed back to Tan Lingxi's eyes, so deep and unwavering, yet he
was powerless against such affection, and had no way to repay it...

"We... make those who love us suffer... Is that alright?" This question lingered in Yi Ziyan's
mind ; to speak it aloud brought a sharp pain to her chest.

"If I could, I would say that I only care whether you love me or not; I don't care about anything else."

Xiang Yuyang closed his eyes, pressing Yi Ziyan's head against his chest, wanting him to feel his love. Yi Ziyan felt
a lump in her throat and reached out to hug Xiang Yuyang.

"I love you, I love you, Yuyang, I only love you."

Xiang Yuyang kissed Yi Ziyan, and Yi Ziyan eagerly invited Xiang Yuyang's tongue to enter, demanding each other. The previous
intimacy felt like a dream, and reality was about to begin.

"Me too, Zi, I love you so much, I don't want you to go. Stay with me, stay here,
don't go anywhere..."

Xiang Yuyang pleaded between kisses, breaking Yi Ziyan's heart.

"Yuyang, Yang... Yang..." Yi Ziyan hugged Xiang Yuyang, who buried his face in her neck. Yi Ziyan
knew Xiang Yuyang was crying.

How could she have wanted to be separated? Who had so confidently declared that love could overcome all difficulties?
What then was their love? Was it truly wrong?

It was just two people in love, why suffer this torment? Love so desperately, so powerless, yet
unwilling to accept reality. No matter how much

they loved, they couldn't overcome the future; no matter how much they loved, they couldn't change their past. When both understood
the depth of their love, the sense of powerlessness doubled. What was the use of loving each other if they couldn't be together?

A pang of sorrow gripped Yi Ziyan's heart, and he choked back tears. Damn it, he'd resolved not to cry. He cursed himself
inwardly for his weakness, kissing Xiang Yuyang's hairline repeatedly, tears streaming down his face, determined not to let the tears fall. He didn't want Xiang Yuyang to see.

"Don't cry, Yang, don't cry..."

He cupped Xiang Yuyang's face in his hands, tenderly kissing away his lover's tears, their lips meeting once more.

Pity, reluctance, heartache, and bitterness made the kiss both cold and sorrowful.

"Were we really wrong?" Xiang Yuyang asked, his eyes closed, as if questioning himself, Yi Ziyan, and the predetermined
future. Yi Ziyan shook his head desperately, unable to utter a word.

Tears welling in his eyes, Yi Ziyan sat up, and Xiang Yuyang sat up too, still holding him tightly.
The grip hurt Yi Ziyan, yet he didn't want him to let go.

"I won't come again." Saying goodbye was necessary; someone had to say it first. Dragging it out would only make things worse
.

"I know." Xiang Yuyang's low, husky voice made Yi Ziyan reluctant to let go.

"The next time we meet, it will be when I take your life."

Xiang Yuyang smiled. "I know, I look forward to it."

Yi Ziyan lightly kissed Xiang Yuyang's cheek. "No matter what, I love you." Xiang Yuyang nodded.

"I know, I love you too."

"Your life is mine, and my life is yours." This is the only promise I can give you; I have nothing else to
offer, so I give you my life.

"I know."

Yi Ziyan gently broke free from Xiang Yuyang's embrace, stood up, and put on his clothes.

"I should go."

Everything seemed to return to the night they first met. Xiang Yuyang grabbed him, Yi Ziyan turned around,
and Xiang Yuyang placed a card in Yi Ziyan's hand.

"I'll be here, waiting for you."

Yi Ziyan smiled softly, his eyes filled with tenderness as he looked at Xiang Yuyang. He lightly tiptoed and
planted a kiss on Xiang Yuyang's lips.

"Silly boy."

A gentle breeze rose, and Yi Ziyan's figure disappeared into the elevator doors. Xiang Yuyang, who had been smiling as he saw Yi Ziyan off,
seemed to collapse, slumping to the ground. Inside the elevator, Yi Ziyan could no longer hold back his
tears.

Because of love, the two disregarded everything, not even hoping to abandon everything, only wishing to embrace each other. Fate allowed
two people from different worlds to fall in love, but fate also forced them apart. The worlds they had so painstakingly
crossed were ultimately destined to continue with futures that went their separate ways...
