Chapter 4 (2/2)

Qin Shaocheng’s eyes were indifferent.

Jiang Yishan broke out into cold sweat. He thought Qin Shaocheng must have misunderstood him. Qin Shaocheng must’ve thought that he had come to seek peace because he knew he was going back. No, that’s not it. Although he did not think of his lover until he had nothing, he also knew what he had done wrong these years. He only wanted to be with Qin Shaocheng again. He had no other intentions.

Jiang Yishan panicked. “I know I was wrong. Shaocheng, please, don’t go.”

“Don’t go?” Qin Shaocheng looked at him deeply. “Don’t you remember what you told me before?”

Jiang Yishan turned pale.

“Do you really think that you have a dog?” Qin Shaocheng squeezed out the words through gritted teeth before walking to his bedroom.

Jiang Yishan watched him walk away, but he still didn’t have any courage to run after him.

He and Qin Shaocheng first met at a party. At that time, Jiang Yishan had just joined a talent show and he was really famous. At the age of only seventeen or eighteen, he already looks good. Standing on the stage, he attracted a lot of people’s attention.

Qin Shaocheng fell in love with him at first sight.

Jiang Yishan wasn’t gay, so he didn’t promise anything at first. However, the handsome and rich Qin Shaocheng relentlessly pursued him. Not to mention that Qin Shaocheng was really generous with his money. Jiang Yishan came from an ordinary working-class family. When he saw the blossoming world of the rich, he was almost tempted. His mind became uncertain. Not long after, he rolled in the sheets with Qin Shaocheng.

After they got together, the Qin family strongly opposed it. Jiang Yishan had just gotten an invitation from a brokerage company. In order to stay with Jiang Yishan, Qin Shaocheng left home and came to A city with him.

As Jiang Yishan officially entered the entertainment industry, he gradually found that it was much darker than he had imagined. He was a teenager with high self-esteem and a little arrogance. He offended many people, causing their hearts to turn black. Most of the people in the circle treat others according to their status and relationship with them [4]. Jiang Yishan’s career development was very bad.

On the contrary, Qin Shaocheng, a wealthy young master, patiently accompanied him through the difficult times. He did not forget to spoil him even when he was too busy in starting a company from scratch. It was then that Jiang Yishan really fell in love with him. The two were in a sweet relationship for nearly a year.

Later, he became popular for guest appearances in a variety show. In the same night, he experienced the feeling of being hailed by thousands of people. His songs were all on the streets and lanes. The top singer with the greatest number of downloads in the ringtone list was his name for three months. The ensuing reputation and money he gained were inexhaustible.

Jiang Yishan became reckless [5]. Qin Shaocheng had advised him to keep a low-profile at that time, but he was too impetuous to listen.

Then someone took a picture of him and Qin Shaocheng kissing.

He was really embarrassed. Just when he was willing to get everything he wanted, someone found out about his relationship [6].

At the bar, he was forced to drink a strong liquor mix, which damaged his voice. The investor laughed at him and thought that he would have nothing to worry about since he was holding the thigh of a rich family. But what if he didn’t have the backing of the young man at home?

When the brokerage company found out that his voice was damaged, they advised him to either quit or break up with Qin Shaocheng as soon as possible. Because of the relationship with the Qin family, Qin Shaocheng would have nothing to lose.

Jiang Yishan was blinded by vanity. Between his future and his lover, he chose the former.

But with a few years of affection, how could breaking up be easy? Qin Shaocheng thought that Jiang Yishan was put in a terrible position and had to decide [7]. He couldn’t be completely indifferent, so he tried to save it.

Because of Jiang Yishan’s bad voice, many singing programs were no longer available to him. He can only rely on spending money to make a profit. All his savings had been spent to buy photographs. He had to ask Qin Shaocheng for money.

However, the popularity brought by the speculation of his sexuality was not enough to get him a lot of good resources. He began to be unsatisfied. He paid a lot of online ghostwriters to write the right black material about him so he can ride along the waves brought by the gossips [8]. Unfortunately, in doing so, he offended a background investor, and he had no choice but to think of the words of the investors who forced him to drink.

Jiang Yishan finally committed a grave mistake.

He asked Qin Shaocheng, who had broken off relations with his family, to go back and ask his family to lend him some resources to help him.

He trampled his lover’s self-esteem on the ground.

Thinking in this place, Jiang Yishan, who was wearing only a thin shirt, shivered in the cold. Looking at the closed door again, he gnawed his fingers anxiously and recalled what Qin Shaocheng just said. He was really disappointed with himself.

Jiang Yishan felt even colder at this point.

The more ups and downs he had in the circle, the more he regretted not cherishing Qin Shaocheng’s sincerity. He knew he was wrong, and it was hard for him to muster up the courage to make up for it. He came back with the hope that Qin Shaocheng would accept him. But he was too late. Qin Shaocheng was leaving.

Jiang Yishan absentmindedly bit on his finger. He didn’t even feel the pain. He kept thinking about Qin Shaocheng returning to his family. Once he returned, everything between them would be truly over. He wandered aimlessly around the room, looking across the bathroom and staring at the shower. He stepped forward and turned on the switch. The cold water pouring over him made him tremble.

He had always been mean and selfish. As long as Qin Shaocheng had a soft heart, he would use it to death.
