Chapter One Hundred and Five

The dark room was like a large paper box closed on all six sides. Fragments of light shone through narrow cracks into the room, where the faint outline of a person moved.

Piercingly bright light shone from a corner and a computer chimed as it started up.

Tang Xuan slowly sat down with a cup of coffee. The screen illuminated his pale and twisted face.

“Hss—” As he sat down, he moved the tender part of his abdomen and he could not hold back a low groan. He leaned against the back of his chair and opened a browser window.

Su Yuyang’s clarification thread had been posted publicly so everyone could read it, including Tang Xuan. To other people, this thread was meant as an explanation. To Tang Xuan, this thread was meant as a slap in the face. Though hitting Tang Xuan’s face had also made Su Yuyang’s hand hurt—after all, every action is met by an equal and opposite reaction.

This morning, Tang Xuan and his supervisor had fought. Tang Xuan had hit his supervisor, who had fired Tang Xuan without a second thought.

Tang Xuan wasn’t resentful—in fact, he was somewhat satisfied. After he got the 15 million from Su Yuyang, he thought, he’d buy up this little company and let the supervisor have a taste of being humiliated every day.

Tang Xuan left the company. When he got home he quickly packed his things then went to find Su Yuyang. As he got to the ground floor of Su Yuyang’s apartment, Su Yuyang and Ling Miao just happened to walk out. Tang Xuan was curious what the two were going to do, so he followed them without a sound.

It wasn’t clear to Tang Xuan why Su Yuyang and Ling Miao had gone to find Feng Ji, but when Su Yuyang and Ling Miao left W&S, he continued to follow them.

Though Ling Miao and Su Yuyang seemed to be in a hurry, their hands were still tightly linked. It gave Tang Xuan the feeling that no one would ever be able to separate them.

He wouldn’t stomach this!

It should have been him standing at Su Yuyang’s side! Even though he had once given Su Yuyang up, Su Yuyang should now be his!

Why was the person Su Yuyang chose not me? I’m the only one who can stand at his side!

Dissatisfaction, hatred, and countless other negative emotions accumulated within Tang Xuan. He was like a balloon into which a pump kept pumping air, heedless of his ability to withstand it.

“Phoo—”

A loud explosive sound became the words, ‘Su Yuyang,’ and emanated from Tang Xuan’s mouth.

The person in front of Tang Xuan didn’t slow down; his legs moved faster beneath him and his stride grew longer. As a result, even though he was still holding onto Ling Miao’s hand, the two eventually separated.

“Hey, Su Yuyang, are you bullying me for having short legs?” Ling Miao panted as he yelled at a certain someone who was walking quickly. That person was forced to stop.

Su Yuyang turned around and his gaze fell without hesitation on Ling Miao.

At Tang Xuan’s side his hands curled into fists, his angry expression radiating murderous intent. Su Yuyang seemed to have noticed this because he used his body to shield Ling Miao…

Tang Xuan looked at the popular threads on the forum’s main page. His gaze landed on a thread titled ‘I Am Shu Yang’ and his reminiscence abruptly stopped.

The words ‘I Am Shu Yang’ were especially glaring. Tang Xuan narrowed his eyes like a hunter whose long-awaited prey had finally taken the bait. A crafty smile lay on his face.

“Finally can’t sit still?” Tang Xuan sneered as he picked up his coffee and took a big gulp. The black coffee slid down his gullet and reinfused him with life. A hoarse laugh sounded from his throat.

Tang Xuan skimmed the contents of the main thread. Su Yuyang’s narration was fairly calm; throughout the entire thread there wasn’t a single exclamation mark.
