Mu He was convinced.

I have seen people farting to survive, but I have never seen anyone farting themselves to death.

My boyfriend is such a magical creature. It's not just a matter of having no desire to survive. He is literally on the brink of death!

But everyone else at the table was laughing so hard...

Mu He glared at Feng Xiyan and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

*

After the group had dinner together, it was already very late.

It was inconvenient for Bai Zhuo to go home, so he stayed at Yuan Yitong's house for one night.

Yuan Yitong lent him the room downstairs, and he and Fan Shu slept upstairs - the two of them were basically living together now, and this situation would probably continue until Fan Shu started school.

After Feng Xiyan drove Yan Ziyue and Lu Xiuying home, he immediately sent Mu He home.

When the car stopped downstairs, Feng Xiyan asked Mu He: "Are you still angry?"

Mu He snorted: "You still know that I will be angry?"

Feng Xiyan smiled and said, "Go to bed early and don't be late for work tomorrow."

"Fuck! You just changed the subject like that?" Mu He couldn't believe his ears. "Is there any boyfriend like you? Is there? It's fine if you don't coax me, but you even bring up work! I'm going on strike!"

"Then rest at home." Feng Xiyan looked nonchalant, "Don't worry, I won't deduct your salary."

Mu He:!!!

Ah, this boyfriend is really hopeless.

In fact, Mu He was no longer angry. He didn't say anything along the way simply because he had nothing to talk about.

But Feng Xiyan’s reaction was so infuriating!

Mu He was so angry that he punched Feng Xiyan, but because it was real, he didn't use much force.

Unexpectedly, before the fist landed on Feng Xiyan, Feng Xiyan quickly grabbed his wrist.

"Mu He." Feng Xiyan called Mu He's name. In order to prevent him from hitting anyone, she also grabbed his other hand. "Don't be angry. I admit I was wrong. You are not stupid at all. You are extremely smart..."

Mu He: "You are the bald one! Your whole family is bald!"

Feng Xiyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I didn't say you were bald...don't be unreasonable again."

"I'm being unreasonable?! I..." Mu He originally wanted to curse back, but suddenly he felt that he was being unreasonable.

Sure enough, Feng Xiyan's next words were: "If you don't want to go to work, don't go. If you want to go to work, go. Saying that you are wise but appear foolish is a compliment... It's indeed an inappropriate compliment, so I apologize. What else do you dissatisfaction with? Just say it directly. How can I know if you don't say it?"

Mu He raised his eyes and looked at Feng Xiyan, but there was nothing he could say...

If you think about it carefully, it's not something worth arguing about.

Mu He sighed, and after a moment of silence, he said these two words in a calm tone: "Kiss me."

Feng Xiyan was stunned for a moment, then helplessly reached out to hold the back of his head and kissed him.

The kisses between the two became more intense each time.

This time, as they kissed, Mu He became a little excited.

If Feng Xiyan hadn't ended this somewhat dangerous kiss in time, he really wanted to fall into it...

Feng Xiyan took a moment to calm his breathing, then kissed Mu He on the forehead again, and asked in his hoarse voice, "Are you still angry?"

Mu He leaned over and leaned on his shoulder, breathing in the air that smelled of him: "Sorry, I'm being unreasonable again."

Feng Xiyan: "It's okay, I'm almost used to it."

"..." Mu He rolled his eyes, "I really can't get used to your ability to ruin the atmosphere."

As he spoke, without waiting for Feng Xiyan's response, he opened the car door and got out. Then he looked back at Feng Xiyan and said, "I'll come to work tomorrow." He paused, "Good night."

Feng Xiyan gave him a relieved smile: "Good night."

*

The next day, Mu He arrived at Qingjiu for work on time.

Perhaps because of lack of sleep at night, he yawned several times in a row after arriving at the company, causing Qian Hao at the next table to yawn as well.

"What did you do last night?" Qian Hao couldn't help but frown and asked him after yawning.

Mu He rubbed his eyes and said, "No, I just had a meal with some friends."

Qian Hao: "Tsk, if you're really sleepy, why don't you go out for a walk? Get some fresh air, and buy me a drink or something?"

Mu He's lips twitched: "Go away, go by yourself!"

Qian Hao rolled his eyes and said, "Just go by yourself. Oh, when will the company hire new people?"

Mu He didn't bother to pay attention to him and went back to work.

After staying in Qingjiu for a while, he gradually became familiar with his colleagues.

I used to think that Design Director Qian Hao was arrogant and bossy, but now I think... he is indeed quite arrogant and bossy.

However, since seeing Mu He's abilities, Qian Hao no longer treated Mu He as a newcomer, and never "bullied" him. The two of them did their own things and lived in peace. They would sometimes argue with each other out of boredom, but they would never really quarrel.

After Mu He finished the work he had left behind, he did not receive any other tasks for the time being, so he clicked on the private chat window with Feng Xiyan. @无限好文，全在Jinjiang文城

Mu He: What are you doing?

I didn't receive a reply for a long time.

Mu He was not sure whether Feng Xiyan was busy. However, after waiting for more than ten minutes and still not receiving a reply, he couldn't help but get up and walked to Feng Xiyan's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

This voice is not Feng Xiyan.

Mu He was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, then opened the door and walked in.

Sure enough, the person sitting behind the desk was not Feng Xiyan, but Fang Cheng.

It was strange. It was Feng Xiyan who sent him to work, and they even had breakfast together.

Where is Feng Xiyanren?

Mu He asked Fang Cheng: "Where did Master Feng go?"

"He's in the hospital." Fang Cheng responded with a smile, "You can tell me if there's anything."

"In the hospital?" Mu He was shocked. "He's injured?!"

"No." Fang Cheng smiled helplessly. "He went to see a psychiatrist. He used to go every week, but he hasn't been there much recently. The doctor called today to urge him to go, so he went."

"Go see a psychiatrist? Why do I need to see a psychiatrist?" Mu He was confused.

He felt that although Feng Xiyan was unworldly, liked to ruin the atmosphere, and especially liked to finish off people, he was not mentally twisted?

"Hmm..." Fang Cheng hesitated, as if thinking.

Then, perhaps after thinking it through, he said with determination, "Close the door for me, then sit down and I'll tell you slowly."

"Okay." Mu He responded, closed the office door, and sat down opposite Fang Cheng with some uneasiness.

Fang Cheng poured himself a cup of tea, and then poured one for Mu He as well.

As Feng Xiyan's childhood friend, he certainly knew the relationship between Mu He and Feng Xiyan, so he helped him pour tea.

It was because of the relationship between Mu He and Feng Xiyan that he decided to tell Mu He about what happened that year.

But the first thing he said was a question: "What do you think of Xiyan's skills?"

"Very good." Mu He blurted out.

He had never seen Feng Xiyan fight in real life, but his skills in the game were second to none.

"I don't know how much you know about the Feng family, but let me be frank—the Feng family's assets are enough to provide Xiyan with a comfortable life, and even three generations down the line won't have to worry about money." Fang Cheng said, "Do you think Qingjiu is the Feng family's main source of income? No, Qingjiu was just a gift from Xiyan's father for him to play because he saw that he liked games."

Mu He: “…”

grass!

"Knowing this premise, I can continue my story. Originally, he truly could have lived a carefree life. He couldn't endure any hardship as a child, and his parents wouldn't let him suffer, so let alone learning martial arts, even working out was a slack job. Until something happened..."

"He's been kidnapped."

Mu He:?!

Fang Cheng ignored Mu He's reaction and continued, "He was in junior high school at the time... It's a little funny now, but it was really scary at the time. After he was kidnapped, the kidnappers called his parents separately to ask for money. His parents thought it was a scam and were busy with work, so they hung up." He paused, "Not only did they hang up, they blocked him."

Mu He: “…”

Fang Cheng: "The story of the boy who cried wolf is real. His parents had received similar scam calls more than once before. They were terrified at first, but they became numb to it after receiving so many calls. So, when Xiyan was actually kidnapped, his parents didn't take it seriously, thinking it was fake like the previous times."

Fang Cheng: "I think you're smart enough to guess what's going to happen next. The kidnappers can't contact Xiyan's parents and can't get the money. What can they do? They can't let Xiyan go back, so they can only kill her."

Mu He widened his eyes in disbelief, unable to imagine what would happen next.

But considering that Feng Xiyan is fine now, does that mean he must have escaped?

Sure enough, Fang Cheng's next words were, "Perhaps when a person is on the verge of death, they truly unleash boundless potential. I don't know how Xiyan did it, but he was just a junior high school student, yet he managed to injure the kidnapper and escape onto the street, where he was discovered and taken to the hospital."

"When he was taken to the hospital, he was already dying. He had multiple fractures and a slight concussion - the kidnappers were ruthless and really wanted to kill him."

"After that incident, Xiyan's personality completely changed."

Fang Cheng recalled that period. Feng Xiyan had a really hard time, and so had he. After all, he was sent to Feng Xiyan by his parents just to please her, but for a while he was of no use at all...

"After being discharged from the hospital, Xiyan didn't want to go to school or even go out. He resisted anyone getting close to him."

"His parents felt very guilty and sorry for him, so they took a long leave to be with him, but he didn't even want to see his parents."

"He hasn't spoken a word in about a year. I think it's because he didn't choose the right name." Fang Cheng was actually in the mood to make fun of Feng Xiyan's name.

Mu He frowned and looked at him. It took him a long time to find his voice: "What happened next? And what about the kidnapper?"

"Of course the kidnappers were caught," Fang Cheng responded, "but Xiyan was practically useless during that time. Luckily, he was quite strong-willed and didn't want to be wasted forever, so he took the initiative to see a psychologist and asked to learn martial arts."

Mu He was stunned for a moment - so it was because of this incident that he started learning fighting?

"Back then, Xiyan wasn't very willing to communicate with others. Whether it was his psychologist or his fighting coach, they all found him difficult to get along with. So, no matter where he went, I had to follow him and express his thoughts on his behalf." Fang Cheng said with a smile, "Look at me now, I'm very good at talking, right? It's all thanks to him. I trained myself by communicating with the people around him."

Mu He pursed his lips and said nothing.

Fang Cheng continued, "This situation continued until four years ago, when Yuling launched. If communicating with people in real life is difficult, using a virtual avatar in the game, with a layer of separation, might make it easier to communicate with people - that's what he thought at the time, and he started playing Yuling."

"And then 'The Imperial Spirit' really helped him get back the feeling he gave before the accident. That confident, carefree feeling."

"I originally thought he was fine. After all, ever since he started playing Yuling, he's been talking more in real life, and his visits to the psychiatrist have been slowly decreasing. But..." Fang Cheng paused, then cast a probing glance at Mu He, "Suddenly one day, he logged off from Yuling and never came back online. Furthermore, he went back to his previous state of ignoring everyone."

Mu He: “…”

Fang Cheng: "Why do you think this is the case?"

Mu He: “…………”

Mu He felt that he was too slow.

He originally thought that Fang Cheng told him about Feng Xiyan's past just to satisfy his curiosity.

But now, he suddenly realized that Fang Cheng was using Feng Xiyan's past to blame him...

Fang Cheng was indeed dissatisfied with Mu He because of what happened half a year ago, but at the same time, he also knew what Mu He meant to Feng Xiyan.

So, after raising that question, Fang Cheng didn't give Mu He a chance to respond. He smiled and continued, "Since then, Xiyan has started seeing a psychiatrist again. He can only say a lot of things when he's in front of a psychiatrist. Otherwise, they will be piled up in his heart, and he might collapse one day because he can't bear it. But seeing the psychiatrist won't take too long. He should be back before noon. You can wait for him to have dinner together."

"Okay..." Mu He responded, somewhat afraid to look Fang Cheng in the eye.

He suddenly felt that Fang Cheng was terrifying. This man had used Feng Xiyan's past to criticize him, yet he didn't even show any signs of blaming him...

Without waiting for Mu He to stand up from the chair, Fang Cheng spoke again, but with a sigh: "Although I am very unwilling, but... even though I have been with him for so many years, in his heart, you are always the first." He paused, "Treat him well and don't let him get hurt again."

Mu He paused for a moment, but finally stood up from the chair.

He lowered his head and looked at Fang Cheng, pursed his lips and responded seriously: "I will. Thank you for telling me this."

After saying that, he turned and left the office.

*

After leaving the office, Mu He returned to his cubicle and stared at his computer desktop for a long time.

He originally thought that Feng Xiyan was spoiled, so she was so arrogant, but it turned out that something like that had happened...

His "arrogance" simply means that he has difficulty communicating with others.

Mu He was still in a daze when his phone suddenly vibrated.

He came back to his senses and noticed that he had received a new message on WeChat - it was from Feng Xiyan.

Mu He clicked it subconsciously.

Feng Xiyan: I went out for a while for something, sorry.

Feng Xiyan: Are you angry?

Mu He looked at these two messages and became dazed again.

After hearing about Feng Xiyan's past, he began to unconsciously imagine how Feng Xiyan had lived these years.

Feng Xiyan was always so outspoken, but why had she never mentioned this to him...

Mu He decided to give it a try.

Mu He: Fang Cheng said you went to the hospital?

Feng Xiyan: Yeah.

Feng Xiyan: What else did he say?

Mu He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't have the courage to tell the truth.

Mu He: Nothing.

Mu He: Why are you going to the hospital?

Feng Xiyan: I’m here to see a friend.

Mu He: Is your friend in hospital?

Feng Xiyan: No, my friend is a doctor.

Mu He: Why go to see it today? @Infinite good articles, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Feng Xiyan: I went there when I thought of it.

Feng Xiyan: Ordinary friends.

Feng Xiyan: If you care about her, I will take you to see her some other day.

Tsk, I'm mentally fine and don't need to see a psychiatrist.

Mu He pursed his lips and didn't want to continue this topic.

Mu He: Let’s have lunch together?

Feng Xiyan: Yeah.

Before noon, Feng Xiyan rushed back from the hospital as expected. After returning, she asked Mu He to leave work early and took Mu He to a nearby restaurant.

This time I went to a restaurant I've been to before.

The two sat in their old seats. Mu He looked at Feng Xiyan opposite him and felt that this scene was extremely familiar, but for some reason, his mood changed completely.

He propped up his head with one hand and watched Feng Xiyan ordering the dishes. His voice was emotionless as he read out the names of the dishes indifferently, not once looking up at the waiter's face.

However, after confirming the menu, he raised his head and looked at Mu He without any pressure: "What's wrong?"

Mu He was stunned for a moment and almost blurted out: "What's wrong?"

Feng Xiyan: "You've been in a daze all day. Didn't you sleep well last night?"

It’s true that I didn’t sleep well last night, but that’s not why I’ve been in a daze…

Mu He sighed, and suddenly felt that it was better not to know some things. The person in front of him was still the same person, but because he knew some things he didn't know before, he was now a little unsure how to get along with Feng Xiyan.

He longs to be loved, protected, held in the palm of his hand, cherished as a treasure, and cared for throughout his life.

But he never thought that the other person might need care and love more than he did.

Fang Cheng blamed him for hindering Feng Xiyan's recovery.

Is it really his fault?

Maybe that’s true... But when he retired from the entertainment industry, how could he know what Yu Ling meant to Feng Xiyan?

My mood suddenly became very complicated and chaotic.

Mu He pursed his lips and spoke in a somewhat suppressed voice: "Feng Xiyan, I want to fight with you."

Feng Xiyan:???

Feng Xiyan was becoming increasingly confused about Mu He's train of thought: "In the game?"

Mu He: “In reality.”

Feng Xiyan: "No, you will get hurt."

Mu He: "...Fuck, why do you think I will be the loser?"

Feng Xiyan was silent for a moment: "There is no winner. I will get hurt too."

Mu He was stunned for a moment and stopped talking.

Isn’t it?

If the two of them really fight, no matter who wins or loses, both will get hurt.

How can you say you won if you were injured?

Just like when they quarrel, in the end, both of them are hurt.

Mu He's eyes turned red.

Feng Xiyan:???

Mu He's mood was getting more and more confused. He didn't know how to face Feng Xiyan, and he didn't know how to handle the relationship between them.

Perhaps, compared to Feng Xiyan, he himself is more like that spoiled child.

I have never encountered any major setbacks since I was a child. The only time I was beaten was when I wanted to drop out of school to play sports in college. I was beaten by my father. In the end, I chose to give in, finished my thesis and graduated successfully.

But later, his parents tacitly allowed him to run holographic sports as a career. His mother even told him before he left home: "If you hit a wall, come back. Don't try to keep going alone. If you run out of money, ask your family for it. No loans are allowed."

In the final analysis, his parents still doted on him. Then in college, he had roommates who cared about him. After graduation, he had Yuan Yitong, and now he has Feng Xiyan... @无限好文，全部在Jinjiang文城

Mu He raised his hands to cover his eyes.

Feng Xiyan finally realized something was wrong, stood up, walked towards him, sat down next to him, and tentatively hugged him in his arms: "I was only a few hours late in replying to the message, is it that serious?"

Mu He buried his head in Feng Xiyan's arms and said nothing.

Feng Xiyan touched his head, and since it was a private room, she looked around to see that there was no one around, then she secretly kissed Mu He's face and whispered in his ear, "Mu He, I love you. I promise I will reply to your messages as soon as possible. So, don't cry."

"I didn't cry." Mu He said sullenly, stretched out his hands to hug Feng Xiyan's waist, and then said in a somewhat suppressed voice, "I'm sorry... I love you too, Xiyan."

Feng Xiyan: "Why apologize?"

Mu He: "No reason, I just feel sad."

Feng Xiyan: "...How can I understand if you say that? If you have something to say, just say it out loud."

Mu He rubbed his head in Feng Xiyan's arms, wiped his tears with Feng Xiyan's clothes, then raised his head, let go of Feng Xiyan's waist, raised his hands and hooked them around his neck: "You still ruin the atmosphere. I just said, I love you - didn't you say anything?"

Feng Xiyan was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and couldn't help laughing.

He lowered his head and kissed Mu He.

In the end, no one knew what Mu He was sad about.

This person's mood changes are always so confusing and too difficult for Feng Xiyan to understand.

But since she's not angry, she's easy to coax. Just a kiss and she'll be fine.

Feng Xiyan kissed Mu He a few more times and finally calmed him down.

After lunch, Feng Xiyan sent Mu He home.

Mu He sat in the passenger seat, looked sideways at him, and suddenly spoke hesitantly: "Xi Yan, is there anything you want?"

"You." Feng Xiyan blurted out.

Mu He: "...Except me?"

Feng Xiyan thought for a moment and said, "No more."

That's right. After that incident, Feng Xiyan's parents loved him even more. As long as Feng Xiyan wanted something, there was nothing he couldn't get.

Mu He puffed up his cheeks.

He suddenly wanted to give Feng Xiyan something, but he couldn't think of anything to give.

"Where's the food? What do you want to eat?" Mu He asked again without giving up.

Feng Xiyan responded: "Nothing special."

"Okay, forget it." Mu He gave up.

Money is something outside of one's body, he doesn't bother with such empty things.

Feng Xiyan wants him?

Thinking about it carefully, it's not impossible: "Would you like to come to my house and stay for a while?"

Feng Xiyan: "No, I still have work to do."

Mu He: "...Fuck, you don't want to stay for a moment? No, you must stay! I will stay even if I die! If you don't stay with me... I will bite you to death!"

Feng Xiyan:???

What's going on again?
