Chapter 153 - (Tears Was Falling in My Blood) Zheng Kai Kissed Goodbye to Gu Xi

A loud slap fell on Chen Wanxin’s face.

“Malicious woman!” Zhao Yuan still felt it was not enough, so he slapped her again. Chen Wanxin’s tender white cheeks immediately showed two clear palm marks.

“Yuan, make it clear!” Chen Wanxin was panting on the tea table, but Zhao Yuan tore her hair up.

“You framed Lin Wenxi, deceived him, and colluded with the Mo’s family with such a vicious means! Chen Wanxin, I should think that you still have a little kindness because we are classmates!” Zhao Yuan shouted furiously and suddenly pushed Chen Wanxin to the wall. He turned around and slammed the door to leave angrily.

On Zhao Yuan’s way to Jifu University, Chen Wanxin’s text message came.

“I admit it! I deceived Wenxi to City A. I asked Boss Zhang to give you a task. It was to slap Wenxi in the face. If you don’t believe it, you can challenge Boss Zhang face to face! I know you can’t bear to do it. I just thought that if you fail this task, the Mo’s family world despise you even more! Zhao Yuan, I, Chen Wanxin did never fail to acknowledge what I did it! ”

Zhao Yuan deleted the text message and ran to Jifu University.

Lin Wenxi was not in the dormitory.

“Where is Wenxi?” Zhao Yuan asked with concern.

“He has gone to see Gu Xi off in the station and he has already cried in the dormitory,” Wang Xiang said discontentedly, “Well, Zhao Yuan, where did you go last night? A’Kai and I were chasing Lin Wenxi’s car but we met with a car accident on the road. We almost lost our lives!”

“What’s going on?” Zhao Yuan sat on the bed of Lin Wenxi, looking silently at a pair of statues on the table, and all sorts of past events came into his mind.

Wang Xiang told briefly about the accident last night. If it was not an accident, it must be those from the Mo’s family. However, Chen Wanxin had no reason to do cruelly to Wang Xiang and Zheng Kai. Zhao Yuan lay on the bed of Lin Wenxi with his hands on his head. He buried his head in the pillow and breathed deeply. On his body, it was such a delicate taste. It was not fragrance, nor sour sweat. It was only Wenxi’s special taste. For a long time, he hadn’t smelt it and seen his smile for a long time. Zhao Yuan explored his hand gently, and the pillow towel was wet.

Zhao Yuan was ready to sob.

Last night when Lin Wenxi returned to his dormitory, it was not long after Zheng Kai and Wang Xiang were wrapped up in the clinic. Lin Wenxi knew what had happened to Zheng Kai and Wang Xiang. He looked at Zheng Kai’s face, with red potion smeared on his neck and a large bandage on his arm. The disgust against him because of Gu Xi was reduced at that time. But thinking of Gu Xi, he couldn’t help sighing. “If Zheng Kai devoted half of the heart and soul to Gu Xi, like he treating me, Gu Xi would not be in such a situation!”

Lin Wenxi did not intend to repeat what had happened the previous night. He only mentioned that he was fine and Zhao Yuan was OK. And then he felt sleepy.

An hour ago, Lin Wenxi woke up in the morning light. His nose seemed acor and his eyes were slightly sticky. He touched the pillow and scolded that he himself was not promising in his heart. But suddenly he saw a stranger sitting on his bed and looking at himself with a faint smile.

His hair was dyed golden, like a thick golden colour, under which long eyebrows penetrated like brushes. Under the eyebrow brush was a pair of eyes which were very bright. The soft orange light shone in the eyes, like the fox spirit in ancient Chinese myths. His lips were red and gently wiped. There was a sneer that seemed to see through the whole world. Two ears ring brightly shook under the earlobes, which showed endless loneliness.

The man stretched out five pale fingers, and bright red nails were on them. They gently extended to Lin Wenxi.

“Gu Xi!” Lin Wenxi was so surprised that he couldn’t shut his mouth. At the same time, Zheng Kai and Wang Xiang also turned to get up.

“Hey, you weren’t in the hospital last night, and you refused to see us, so it turned out that you went to cosplay again?” Wang Xiang asked quickly.

“You go out and I’ll talk to Wenxi alone for a while,” Gu Xi said coldly.

Wang Xiang immediately tidied up and ran out. Zheng Kai tidied up for a moment, and looked at Lin Wenxi. It was not until Lin Wenxi nodded at him that he went out.

“Why did you look like this?” Lin Wenxi asked sadly.

“This is me,” Gu Xi said calmly.

“How come? You… Why do you dress up as women? Where did you go to cosplay? Why can I not recognize who you are dressing up as?” Lin Wenxi asked with some silly laughter.

“I never cosplay anybody, and I only play myself. If even you don’t accept me, Gu Xi, that’s it.” Gu Xi still kept smiling.

“No, I don’t mean that, but as soon as you show your nature, I thought I went into ancient Chinese ghost stories.” It was still a bit hard for Lin Wenxi to believe.

“Oh, well, the lovely little fox spirit of ghost stories is here to say goodbye to you, you scholar!” Gu Xi said with a smile.

“What? No, I’m trying to find a way out. I can help you with your expelling!” Lin Wenxi took Gu Xi’s arm.

“Thank you.” Gu Xi smiled shallowly. “Don’t you see me off?”

“No…” Lin Wenxi shouted.

Gu Xi went out on his own.

They walked out of the dormitory one by one. Lin Wenxi felt that the eyes of his classmates in the corridor were like electric light bulbs, glaring and dazzling. He almost instinctively held Gu Xi’s shoulder and put his head close to his chest, so as not to let more burning eyes fall on his fragile skin. His skin was almost transparent. It was so transparent that the blood flow inside could be seen, and the heart trembling constantly could also be seen.

Lin Wenxi wanted to send Gu Xi to sit in the woods, but Gu Xi refused. He held his head high to welcome everyone’s strange eyes and walked along the north-south main road of the school.

Lin Wenxi put his arm around Gu Xi and said, “Our masks grow out of heaven. To tear them off is to tear off a layer of skin alive. What kind of pain and determination do you have to make this happen?”

Gu Xi seemed to be hit by something, and his body trembled violently. He quickly squatted on a stone by the roadside. Tears rustled down and dropped into the cracks.

“Wenxi, there’s a saying that people die like lights off, but I think the death of heart is more like lights off,” Gu Xi said with a smile.

He hugged him tightly, and the sound of the camera flashed around him. So, Lin Wenxi grabbed a stone and threw it at where the sound came.

“D*mn it, do you want to kill people? How many can you kill? We all saw it!” someone shouted angrily not far away.

The student was a school newspaper reporter. He accidentally passed by, and photographed the scene that Lin Wenxi deeply embraced Gu Xi out of professional habits. Of course, he knew Lin Wenxi. He had heard that Lin Wenxi was mild-tempered, unflattered and not a troublemaker, so he did not expect to be bothered by the photography. But he did not know that Lin Wenxi threw a stone without saying one word. He was seemingly careless but accurately hit his hand, and the mobile phone almost fell to the ground.

He was a little angry, because he thought he had no malicious intentions. So he was full of nausea after the attack and scolded Lin Wenxi. What made him even angrier was that Lin Wenxi had been holding the boy gently and quietly, as if there was no bystander in the world at all.

It was said that the greatest punishment for the enemy was complete disregard. Lin Wenxi was like an iceberg that looked up to the horizon, cold and solemn, and refused to give him even the light from the corner of his eye. He was provoked by this action. He remembered Lin Wenxi’s identity and felt that he had been treated like this because of his different identities. He was provoked and shouted, “Killing!”

This shout was serious. Many people looked around here. Lin Wenxi suddenly felt the pressure of people’s eyes. He still held Gu Xi in his arms and didn’t care them.

Gu Xi laughed in a dry voice, “I thought I had lost everything, but now I know what I lost is only the scenery I saw. I never knew that the person who accompanied me to see the scenery is also an indispensable beauty.”

Gu Xi wanted to struggle away from Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxi’s strength was getting stronger and stronger so that he couldn’t move.

“Well, the more people look at us, the more you stubbornly show it to others,” Gu Xi said with a smile.

“Look, I’m going to turn my cold eyes to them. Don’t show your weakness,” Lin Wenxi said softly.

Gu Xi always had some worries about Lin Wenxi. Although he was going to leave, Lin Wenxi had to spend the remaining two years here. Gu Xi was not afraid to absurdly kiss the teaching director in public, but he never wanted to influence Lin Wenxi. So one wanted to hold, but another wanted to push. It was like Lin Wenxi wanted to bully Gu Xi.

The students who were hit felt that he was provoked. Maybe they could be used as headline news pictures, but now they could be exposed to the public in advance, which made him feel that his work results were mercilessly plagiarized. He held up a stone and tried to smash back to Lin Wenxi. He dared not hurt him, but at least he had to smash Lin Wenxi’s little foot.

A big hand grasped his wrist tightly. Soon he felt his hand was paralyzed, so his fingers were loose and the stone fell.

Lin Wenxi heard the falling of stones and glanced over there. He saw the man thrown out by Zheng Kai without a word. It could be dubbed with a swish.

“What are you looking at? Does the fist look good?” Zheng Kai shouted around, and soon the crowd began to scatter, but some people in the crowd muttered, “How many protagonists are there in this play?”

As the crowd disbanded, Lin Wenxi let go of Gu Xi and sighed with relief, laughing at Zheng Kai.

Lin Wenxi accompanied Gu Xi around the whole campus and took him to the long-distance passenger station. Gu Xi did not expect that Lin Wenxi would take himself all the way to the railway station on the edge of the city.

They two with red eyes in the long-distance bus had been crying constantly. After crying, they talked so much. Even if they were silent when they stopped, they could look at each other’s eyes where there were endless words.

“Why can’t we be together, tell me?” Gu Xi asked, holding Lin Wenxi’s arm.

“Do you love me?” Lin Wenxi asked.

Gu Xi was silent, then smiled and said, “Yes, I love and respect you.”

Departure was like tomorrow. Even if you didn’t want it, it would come when you woke up in the morning, or when a ray of sunshine entered the room.

Those who should go would go.

At that time, there were platform tickets at the railway station. He went to help Gu Xi settle his luggage. The big suitcase was really heavy. Gu Xi and Lin Wenxi lifted the suitcase together. Gu Xi was not tall enough, and Lin Wenxi could not finish it alone.

A pair of big hands stretched out, and then it was Zheng Kai’s silent face.

Lin Wenxi was shocked. He followed all the way from Jifu University to the passenger station, and took a bus for nearly two hours from the station to the edge of the railway station.

“Gu Xi… No matter where you go, take good care of yourself, I’m sorry, these years, you always take care of me and care everything about me. Besides occasionally fighting for you and doing some hard work, I have no use at all. That night… I…”

“Stop talking.” Gu Xi’s eyes were flooded with tears instantly.

“Gu Xi, when you were in the hospital, I said that you can do whatever you want me to do. You asked me to kiss you, right?” Zheng Kai said calmly.

Lin Wenxi felt that Gu Xi’s finger on his arm tightened suddenly.

“Gu Xi, if I said that I sincerely wanted to do it this time, would you dislike me and feel I am dirty?” Zheng Kai asked.

“Zheng Kai! Are you crazy?” Lin Wenxi could not help but ask.

“Gu Xi, I’m not good at talking, you know. I can’t be with you, and I can’t understand your feelings… But now I can at least believe that they do exist, undeniably exist… I grew up without any playmates. The days I felt gentle… It’s all the days when you’re around. I can’t repay what you did for me in the past eight years. I don’t know how to express my feelings. But I want to kiss you, hold you, and wish you all peace and good luck. Will you, Gu Xi? I may only kiss in my whole life… you, such a boy…” Zheng Kai said with great difficulty and hesitation.

Gu Xi covered his face, and his eyes glistened with tears which were rolling down like broken pearls, holding the eight years of companionship.

Gu Xi burst into tears and plunged into Zheng Kai’s arms.

Those two lips were closely linked, not because of love In that instant, he felt that the world had completely stopped. For eight years, he had sunk and drifted in a bitter sea, and even nearly drowned himself. Eventually, he saw a calm harbour.

He was satisfied with everything in the past eight years.

Lin Wenxi was already in tears, holding his seat and looking up at the top of the carriage.

Unexpectedly, there was no applause. As was expected, there were only disdainful onlookers. But Gu Xi’s blooming smile became a beautiful scene that Lin Wenxi had never seen in his life.

Zheng Kai’s tears fell into Gu Xi’s eyes.

“Brother Kai… Don’t cry… I haven’t seen you cry in my life. You cannot cry because of me… No… I don’t blame you long ago,” Gu Xi said in a hoarse voice but Zheng Kai’s tears had dried up.

“No… I am not crying.” Zheng Kai turned over and denied.

“Brother Kai, just one drop has fallen into my blood. I will remember that you are such a good brother who really pitied me and loved me.”

“The days I felt gentle were the days when you are around.”

Gu Xi smiled slightly, and felt God treated him well.

The train started.

The train moved slowly, then speeded up, and ran forward at a high speed. Lin Wenxi followed it for a few steps. He seemed to see Gu Xi lying on the window waving relentlessly, as if he could smell a faint fragrance of Gu Xi.

The old song played in the railway station suddenly sounded, “How are you feeling now? Do you still have that smile on your face? Since ancient times, there have been many sorrows and pains in life. Please be happier and have a free and easy life.

The special voice and rich emotion of the old song came into Lin Wenxi’s mind. He turned and the train sped northward.

“I’m going to further north, where it is bone-chilling cold there, so that I can keep my mind awake forever. Maybe this heart will not often make me mentally and physically exhausted.”

Lin Wenxi knew that no matter how cold the north was, Gu Xi would have a warm life as spring.

“Thank you, Zheng Kai, for being so kind.” Lin Wenxi smiled and wiped his tears.

“Don’t tell anyone.” Zheng Kai was still a little embarrassed.

“Who says you can’t be romantic and you can’t talk, you man. You are so romantic—all the gentle days were because you are around. Do you know? All the gentle days of my childhood are also because you are around,” Lin Wenxi said with a smile.

“Wenxi, I’ve been thinking for a long time. I’d better confess to you,” Zheng Kai said.
