Chapter 163: Chapter 0163: The Pen that Ends Sentiments
Back when we were in school, Ye Xunhuan was a renowned figure, and I, Chu Ji, secretly adored him. But at that time, Su Guyan was the only one in Ye Xunhuan’s heart, so I had no choice but to hide my feelings.
Later on, Ye Xunhuan left school because he got into trouble with fighting, which left me very upset for a long time!
After entering society, I asked around among classmates for Ye Xunhuan’s whereabouts. However, he seemed to have vanished without a trace, leaving me filled with disappointment. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
And ever since Ye Xunhuan had left school, I started to have issues with Su Guyan, and there hasn’t been any improvement up to now. In my view, it was all Su Guyan’s fault that Ye Xunhuan ended up like this.
Otherwise, Ye Xunhuan should have been the eagle soaring above the ninth heaven, wandering free and unfettered.
"Let’s not talk about the past!" Ye Xunhuan said, exhaling a thick cloud of smoke.
"How can it not be mentioned?" Chu Ji said angrily, "Why is it that you’ve become like this now, while she..."
"Stop there!" Ye Xunhuan interrupted her, with a tone that was neither heavy nor light, neither warm nor fiery.
Chu Ji wanted to say something more, but on seeing Ye Xunhuan’s slightly unpleasant expression, she had to swallow the words that had reached her lips.
"How about you? How are you doing these days?"
"Just getting by. I work at a financial company where I hold a bit of a position," Chu Ji replied softly. "Xunhuan, why don’t you come and work with me? I..."
Although Chu Ji’s intention was the same as Zhou Kai’s, Ye Xunhuan heard different undertones in their words.
Chu Ji genuinely wanted to help him, not mock him.
Ye Xunhuan chuckled, "What’s the matter, does Chu Class President think I’m so hopeless now, that I have to rely on a woman for survival?" Ye Xunhuan said calmly, "Don’t worry, I won’t starve to death!"
"Xunhuan, I know you’re a proud man, but society is cruel, and pride won’t fill your stomach."
"I don’t mean to pity you or give you handouts, because I know that many capable people just lack an opportunity. You are one of those capable people, what you are lacking now is just an opportunity, just give you a lever..."
Ye Xunhuan chuckled and interrupted her, "Chu Ji, we’re not in our school days anymore. You don’t have to preach these grand truths to me. I understand all you’re saying, but this is just the way I am. You knew that already."
"You... You’re infuriating!" Chu Ji’s delicate body trembled slightly as she straightened up and said, "You were like this before, and you’re still like this now. Would it kill you to bow your head just once?"
"Besides, I didn’t ask you to bow your head..."
"If I agreed, would I still be the Ye Xunhuan you know?"
Chu Ji fell silent, indeed, a king is proud, always with his unyielding spirit, never bowing to anyone, nor accepting charity from anyone. Even if it wasn’t charity but help, he wouldn’t accept it.
Otherwise, how could he possibly have left the school back then?
"Alright, if you need anything, you can call me. I might not be able to be of great help, but I can definitely offer a hand with little things," Chu Ji had to step back.
"What have you been up to since you left school?"
"I served as a soldier for a few years!" Ye Xunhuan said indifferently, "After I was discharged, I went abroad and just returned recently!"
Ye Xunhuan had said the same thing before, but Chu Ji didn’t believe his experiences over the past ten years were that simple.
Even though Ye Xunhuan had been nice to her, she had acutely sensed something in him that was inadvertently revealed—seemingly amiable, but it hid a distinct disposition as clear as the divide between river waters, as if he didn’t want to get too close to anyone. What Chu Ji noticed most were Ye Xunhuan’s eyes!
Those eyes were weather-beaten; it was hard to imagine such worldly weariness in a young man’s gaze, as if he could see through the world and into people’s hearts, yet he made every effort to conceal his edge!
What had he experienced in these ten years?
Ye Xunhuan didn’t want to talk about it, and Chu Ji didn’t continue to ask, but instead talked with Ye Xunhuan about other things.
Their conversation was quite cheerful, and Chu Ji even managed to get Ye Xunhuan’s mobile number, suggesting they keep in touch more often.
Just as Ye Xunhuan and Chu Ji were having a nice chat, Mu Tiange suddenly walked over to Ye Xunhuan with a smile that appeared amiable on the surface but concealed a lethal intent.
"Xunhuan, why are you always sitting here? Come and join everyone for some fun!" Mu Tiange smiled very cordially, but it was all pretense!
Ye Xunhuan replied with a light smile, "It’s alright, you guys chat. I’m fine just sitting here!"
"How can that be okay? Many people are here in Jiangzhong City from all around, all because of you. You can’t just sit here."
"Yeah, Boss, come join us for some fun. That’s the way to enjoy it!" One of the gaudily dressed women said.
"Boss, come on, let’s all have fun together!" another woman chimed in, "Plus, we haven’t heard you rap in a long time. Give us a song!"
Back in his school days, although Ye Xunhuan was known as the Boss, he was also the little Prince of Rap, and when he rapped, he did so with incredible dominance!
Now, as this woman brought it up, many people immediately exclaimed, "Yeah, right, the Boss is a rap master. Let’s have the Boss rap for us, just one song!"
Gradually, the atmosphere was energized, and everyone wanted Ye Xunhuan to perform a song.
Not wanting to dampen everyone’s spirits, Ye Xunhuan nodded and agreed!
"Then I’ll rap ’Broken Love Pen’!"
As he said this, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but glance at Su Guyan, who was sitting to the side.
"Great!" the crowd exclaimed in unison.
Immediately, someone found the instrumental for ’Broken Love Pen’ for Ye Xunhuan.
After Ye Xunhuan took the microphone, he began to rap along with the rhythm of the music.
"Today, I pick up the pen again. The past, I no longer think about. Forget it, it’s my own doing. The undying love is you..."
His voice was deep and magnetic, very charismatic, and his whole body exuded a powerful presence!
"Walked through, these three years of time. Seen through, the hearts of this world. For whom, to seize this glory, who can treat me with equal respect..."
"I once cried for you. Loving you, I was so wretched. For you, I knelt on one knee. Love has worn me out, true love, occupied my heart. Love, treated by you like dog food. For you, I was insane, yet you ended up in someone else’s bed..."
Upon hearing this line, "For you, I was insane, yet you ended up in someone else’s bed," Su Guyan’s body shook as if she had been electrocuted, trembling uncontrollably.
"Don’t take, my tolerance. As, your capital for arrogance. Towards you, I won’t be tolerant anymore, please turn around and just leave..."
As Ye Xunhuan rapped, the crowd finally realized that this wasn’t so simple. This ’Broken Love Pen’ seemed to have a deeper meaning!
Suddenly, many people couldn’t help but cast their eyes on Su Guyan!
Every line that Ye Xunhuan rapped seemed as if it could be linked to Su Guyan!
"Sigh, too many hardships. In this world, too many fetters. The human heart, how many faces can it show, the past won’t be yearned for anymore."
"Who’s left, by my side. Accompany me, as I conquer this territory. Alone, I stand at the pinnacle of the Forbidden City, smiling at the masses like mist and smoke."
"Life, how many sets of three years do we have. Who will, remember my face. Alone, sitting by the window, gazing at the moon, reminiscing the past."
"Looking at, the road once traveled. In my mind, this scene emerges. Once, carefree of everything, only to protect you at the cost of my life."
Finally, ’Broken Love Pen’ came to an end, but the crowd was deeply shocked by the dominance of Ye Xunhuan’s performance. At that moment, they seemed to be seeing the Boss who once dominated the school!
After a long while, someone suddenly said, "Boss, this ’Broken Love Pen’, why does it feel like you’re singing about Gu Yan, especially that line about her ending up in someone else’s bed?"
"Could it be about Mr. Mu and Gu Yan?"
