Chapter 234 – Extra Story Two (1)

The fashion industry, this complicated circle was like a rushing wave. As a big wave scoured over the sand, numerous designers, models and photographers were eliminated, with history remembering only a few people. Most of them silently became the foundations of this big body of water. They didn't cause a splash but their existences lingered.

For Xi Ze to reach where he was today, it could be said that talent, strength and luck were indispensable.

Although Ji and Ya meant he encountered a very strong resistance when he officially entered the fashion industry, but this difficulty was a type of shelter for him. He just had to follow the path that his teacher already took and it would be fine.

Xi Ze obviously wasn't a greenhouse flower that liked to grow under the blessing of others. Therefore, when he was 29 years old, Xi Ze started his own independent brand called Zeyu.

Many designers create brands that would be named after themselves, such as Ji and Ya, Rosalind, Garcia and Otilla. Of course, the big names in the Huaxia fashion industry might not fully comply with this rule. Yizhi was one exception.

Now there was one more exception: Zeyu.

Many people expected things from the brand that Xi Ze created. Like Raymond, the chief designer of Rosalind founded his own brand called Raymond 20 years ago. This brand was a first-tier brand in the United States. It might be worse than Raymond but it was still very powerful.

Once Xi Ze's brand was officially released, many people experienced a different taste.

According to the official statement, Zeyu meant 'Xi Ze's encounter.'

But everyone knew that this name was a homonym, Ze Yu.

This way of expressing love was common from ancient times to the present. It was to let the name of his lover by forever bound to his brand, letting his lover's name be eternal. Xi Ze's choice was really great and allowed his fans to eat a mouthful of dog food.

When Zeyu was created, the main staff were only Xi Ze and some of his friends.

It was absolutely impossible for Master Chen and the others of the Ji and Ya studio to quit and move to Zeyu. As for Kruka, he really worshipped Xi Ze and wanted to help Zeyu. However, his teacher, who was the chief designer of Garcia, didn't give him this opportunity.

The beginning of everything was difficult. The first six months after Zeyu was established was the busiest time.

On the one hand, Xi Ze had to take care of Ji and Ya's affairs. On the other hand, he had to explore innovation and recruit talent. He didn't have to leave his original brand when starting his own brand. There was no conflict between the two but it was quite tiring.

Fortunately, Xi Ze's reputation in the fashion industry was too high. Zeyu was just a newly emerging brand but many top designers and senior tailors volunteered to join it. Even Alice, the famous senior tailor of Ji and Ya decided to resign and specifically join Xi Ze at Zeyu.

Alice wasn't Xi Ze. As the leader of the tailoring team, she didn't have the skill to take care of two high-end studios. Therefore, her determination to join Xi Ze was quite surprising.

However, Alice said very honestly, "I was just an ordinary tailor when I entered Ji and Ya. It was Mr. Xi who gave me the opportunity. You recognized my strength and allowed me to rise to my current position so quickly. I want to follow you and help you."

Alice might be a bit silly and imply but she had a really good heart.

Ming Xiaoyu wasn't at all jealous of the 'girl so dedicated to Xi Ze that she quit a stable high-paying job to help him start a business.' Ming Yu was very clear about what type of person Alice was and he believed in Alice. Most importantly… cough, Alice got married last month ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Since Xi Ze withdrew from the modelling circles, Ming Yu had been the world's number one male model for three consecutive years. His position in the fashion world was unshakable. As Ji and Ya's global spokesperson and the winner of the fashion industry's top Muse Award, he had reached the pinnacle of this life.

But at this time, he left it for three months to help his lover start a business.

Xi Ze's experience and excellent talent, combined with the prestige and connections that he accumulated over the years meant Zeyu's creation was very smooth. Just four months after it was created, Zeyu was ready to launch its first high-end show.

At this time, Xi Ze had to take care of the high-end shows for Ji and Ya and Zeyu. Both were very important and there couldn't be any mistakes. Therefore, Xi Ze was very busy these days and there was no room to stop.

He rested in the studio for half a month and didn't go back home. At night, he went to sleep with the dark and sleep city. When he blinked in the morning, it wasn't bright.

Ji and Ya's work was quite easy since they had been working together for many years. But on Zeyu's side, the studio was newly established and many things still needed to be worked out, taking a lot of Xi Ze's time.

One day when Ming Yu finished his work in the evening, Alice took him to the office and asked him to persuade Xi Ze to rest because he hadn't slept for three days and three nights.

This caused Ming Yu's heart to tighten and fill with distress.

He had left for three days because of a job and this man actually dared to not close his eyes for three days, it was too much.

Ming Yu was in this distressed and angry mood when he softly opened the mahogany door. Surprisingly, the room was silent as bright sunlight shone through the glass windows.

The room layout was similar to Xi Ze's offices in Muse and the Ji and Ya studio, but it was also a bit different. Aesthetics and preferences would change with time and experience. After spending a long time with Ming Yu, Xi Ze's taste was no longer so cold and elegant.

Ming Xiaoyu looked around the room and found a man lying on the couch.

He didn't wake up this man. Ming Xiaoyu smiled helplessly and covered him with a blanket, his fingers gently touched the handsome face. His fingers slid from the man's narrow eyes to his high nose and then his tight lips as Ming Yu was filled with a gentle love and pity.

Xi Ze's brow was furrowed, as if he was having an uncomfortable dream.

Ming Yu didn't have the heart to wake him. Even after Ding Bo and Alice came to find Xi Ze, Ming Yu decided to let them wait for now and allow Xi Ze a good rest.

Three days of sleeplessness would cause even an iron man to collapse. Xi Ze couldn't casually squander his life like this.

But when Xi Ze slept for 12 hours without waking up, Ming Yu finally felt that something was wrong. He already determined that Xi Ze didn't have a fever and his temperature was normal. He didn't know what the problem was.

The group nervously sent the unconscious patient to the hospital where they received the following answer, "Mr. Xi's temperature is very low and according to your words, it might be because of too much fatigue. The problem isn't very serious and he only needs to rest. With a bit of warmth and medicine, there should be no problem. But this is the first time I've ever observed a low-temperature unconscious person.

Despite being observed for three days, Xi Ze showed no signs of waking up. His body temperature was always around 35 degrees and didn't rise. This temperature was extremely dangerous, making Ming Yu very anxious. However, the expert doctors were helpless.

The medicine showed no signs of improving Xi Ze.  Ding Bo took a week of sick leave for Xi Ze and temporarily blocked the media. The fans didn't notice any abnormality with their god. After all, Xi Ze wasn't a model and rarely communicated with fans.

In the past few days, Ming Yu also delayed all jobs as he anxiously stayed by Xi Ze's side.

This strange problem really made Ming Yu worried but he also had a feeling that this man was certain to wake up.

Zeyu's high-end show will be in three days. If you don't wake up, how can you see me wear the outfit you designed for me?"

Ming Yu's voice slightly trembled when he spoke but the tone was very strong.

He didn't know that at this moment, Xi Ze seemed to be trapped in a long dream. This dream was too long, as if he was crossing a river of time from the end of ones star to the end of another star.

At the end of this place, there was a beautiful blue planet. Once Xi Ze woke up, he found himself in this world as an invisible man.

He was a spectator. Other people couldn't see him and he couldn't change anything around him.

Everything seemed strange. Xi Ze was calm and silent for a few days before beginning to accept this dream. He was in a strange dream, even through this dream world was too perfect.

Whether it was celebrities who he didn't recall in his memories or still existing celebrities, their existences were very orderly. There was also a lot of designs, writing and music that made Xi Ze marvel.

This dream sometimes went very fast and sometimes very slow.

There was no Huaxia in his dream but there was China. There wasn't the familiar 17 year war in the 19th century but there were two world wars in the 20th century. In this dream, some things he knew while others he had never heard of. All the strange things seemed like magic kaleidoscopes, a parallel world that existed.

Xi Ze didn't take these things to heart. He had a hunch that he would sooner or later escape from the dream. Therefore, he observed the world's top designers and some high-end shows with appreciation. He got many ideas and became more inspired.

These days seemed to have no end until one day, he saw a familiar figure on the cover of a fashion magazine.

The beautiful face, the deep and charming temperament, the soft and firm eyes, the tenacious expression, the black hair and the light coloured eyes. There might be only 70 or 80% points of similarity but at the sight of this person, Xi Ze's heart was shocked and he became stunned.

In the upper right corner of the magazine, written in a white square:

『 The shining star of the East: Ming Yu 』.

Chapter 235 – Extra Story Two (2)

Ming Yu, this name was like fire and was imprinted on Xi Ze's heart.

No language could describe his shock. In a world that was completely unfamiliar, in a world that he already identified as a dream, there was suddenly the most important and familiar person in his life. This feeling was really difficult to describe.

Xi Ze thought that he loved his mushroom so much he even thought about him in the dream.

However, he saw the young man again in countless news stories.

Xi Ze didn't know when their first real encounter was. The time flow in this world was very strange and he didn't know how to find this youth. Therefore, he was amazed when he saw the young man in the crowd.

At this time, Ming Yu was only 16 or 17 years old.

It was the same age as when they first met, but Ming Yu gave off a different feeling.

He had a bright enthusiastic feeling, like the sun. This youth's energy was very prosperous and he didn't know how to control it. Whether it was a photo shoot of runway, light emerged from his whole body.

This was a good thing for a model but it would be better if he was more mature.

Since their first meeting, Xi Ze followed this young man.

He was vaguely aware that something was wrong with this world but he didn't know what the reason was.

In the dream, Xi Ze followed Ming Yu through many corners of the world. He watched the young man walk in a variety of shows and become a famous supermodel in China. He also watched this youth struggle in the strong European and American fashion circles. Due to the West's unique aesthetics and the lacking protection of his country, the young man was unable to step forward.

He watched the youth gradually control the bright sun and become more mature. He saw the excitement the first time Ming Yu endorsed a big global name, as well as his grief and anger caused by racist Western models.

This person was 70~80% similar to his beloved, but he wasn't as dazzling as his lover. He was like a jade being polished but he was already shining with radiance. Xi Ze chose to believe that one day, this young man would become his lover that everyone looked up to.

As Xi Ze expected, he saw this young man reach a turning point in his life when he was 20 years old. His career turned around and he experienced earth-shaking changes. He slowly appeared on the catwalks of the world's major shows and endorsed a top global luxury brand.

Xi Ze knew what a valuable achievement this was for an Oriental model.

However, Xi Ze knew that if this was his Ming Yu, the youth wouldn't be satisfied and stop here.

As Xi Ze guessed, Ming Yu wasn't satisfied with such excellent results. He was like a thirsty sponge that frantically absorbed moisture after touching the sea.

He was becoming more excellent and more beautiful. Once this youth gradually grew to match Xi Ze's memories, Xi Ze fell silent.

Xi Ze was clever, careful and observant.

He shouldn't do this but driven by intense curiosity, he secretly looked at this youth's body. At first glance, Xi Ze knew that this wasn't his Ming Yu. Ming Yu had a small black mole on his right shoulder. This Ming Yu didn't have the same body.

But he also knew that this youth had really terrible cooking, he knew that this youth's handwriting was really unbearable to look at apart from the characters 'Ming Yu.' This familiar dog writing was deeply engraved on Xi Ze's heart, letting him start believing in other truths.

Was this world really just a dream?

If this was just a dream, why was it so realistic? Would he have such a specific dream?

At the age of 22, Ming Yu became the world's number one supermodel. Others only saw the bright and beautiful young man but Xi Ze saw the hidden sweat and hard work.

Talented people might walk faster than others but this didn't mean that talented people didn't need to work hard. One of the scariest things in the world was a person who was more talented than you and who worked harder than you. Ming Yu was one of these people.

In this distinctly strong Western world, a Chinese person became the world's number one supermodel.

The difficulty could only be imagined.

Ordinary people couldn't imagine Ming Yu's efforts. While many supermodels struggled, this bright jade was polished and showed his unique light to the world.

However, at this time, Ming Yu fell.

At the age of 23, he was diagnosed with spinocerebellar degeneration.

It was a disaster. In half a year, Ming Yu's acquaintances started to grieve God's injustice. He had just become one of the most dazzling people in the world, his peak years were just starting. Why did he have to encounter such a thing?

Ming Yu's illness came suddenly and the outbreak was quite serious.

In half a year, his legs lost their function until he was confined to bed at 10 months. His ears gradually became unable to hear and his eyes lost their vision, making him blind after 1.5 years.

This supermodel, who once showed himself under the flashlights of the world stage, had now completely left the world.

He often got tinnitus and he couldn't see. Other than his fingers and mouth, he couldn't move. He was only 24 years old and this nightmare came quickly and seriously.

Fans all over the world wept for him.

Ming Yu wasn't short on money. Whether it was the savings he accumulated over the years or the money raised by fans and friends, he had enough to invite the world's best doctors for his treatment.

But no amount of money and love could withstand this terrible disease. At this moment, even the world's number one supermodel was just an ordinary person. He lay in bed in silence all day, his vision dark and tinnitus roaring in his ears.

He could occasionally hear the voices of his friends but more often, it was just tinnitus.

The tinnitus was very annoying but when the tinnitus disappeared one day, the young man who had been strong for 20 months finally collapsed and cried.

His world was completely silent.

The infinite darkness was a cage that bound him. There was no light, no sound and his body couldn't move. Only his mouth could make noises but he didn't know what to say or who was listening.

Was someone here when he talked?

What did he say when he spoke?

After completely losing his hearing, it was only a matter of time until he lost his speech.

A young person of only 24 years didn't have the ability to communicate with others. He was like the living dead with an angelic face. The pale and beautiful face seemed to have incited God's jealousy as he could only sadly lie in a hospital bed, feeling bitter every second.

Xi Ze watched, never getting involved.

He watched Ming Yu after he became completely deaf, crying as if he would collapse the next second. He saw Ming Yu struggling to speak, gradually speaking an unknown language.

Xi Ze didn't cry, he just kept watching.

He watched the young man begin a long silence after feeling despair, and then going on a hunger strike. He also saw that after three days of a hunger strike, the young man regained his enthusiasm and continued to live earnestly.

For today's Ming Yu, living was torture.

The thing he needed most was death. He needed freedom but he overcame his weakness and desire to escape, instead living in this dark life.

No one could understand his world because he couldn't do anything apart from breathing. His throat was out of control and he couldn't speak. His ears were out of control and he couldn't hear. His eyes lost its function and couldn't see.

However, he was still alive, smiling while living in an endless darkness.

Once his strength reached a certain point, it became an ode to life.

『 The world kisses me with pain but I sing a song. 』

After this youth began a great change, Xi Ze started shedding tears.

In Xi Ze's life, he had seldom cried. He hadn't shed any tears since he was young.

When Ming Yu got sick and smiled in front of others while crying privately at night, Xi Ze didn't cry. When Ming Yu gradually lost his body's functions, Xi Ze didn't cry. When Ming Yu completely lost the ability to communicate with the outside world and collapsed, Xi Ze didn't cry.

But now that the young man chose to live alone in the darkness, Xi Ze finally cried.

He was crying with his lover.

Yes! This was his lover!

At the end of everything, Xi Ze finally decided that this person was his lover.

The body might not be the same and the appearance was difference, but this tenacity and optimism, the beautiful smile and curve of the eyes, they were all his lover!

Why did Ming Yu have to live so seriously when the world was treating him like this?

What did he pay and what did the world give in return?

Why do he want to live so seriously? Death was the only relief!

How could he be so beautiful and so tenacious?

It wasn't just appearance or temperament, it was his most beautiful soul.

Together, this was the Ming Yu he loved most, the love he was willing to die for.

Xi Ze's tears couldn't be seen by Ming Yu and his embrace couldn't be felt by Ming Yu. Ming Yu could only feel the breeze blowing through the window and the breath of spring.

While Ming Yu was optimistic, Xi Ze had collapsed.

He couldn't tolerate his lover being so cruelly tortured that he could smile in this silent darkness. Why was he so cheerful? Why did he have to be hurt like this?

The 25 year old Ming Yu came to an abrupt end on a bright and warm spring morning.

In these days, Xi Ze had been curled up beside the young man on the bed, afraid to look at his lover. He didn't have to eat or drink. He never showed any changes in the past few years watching this world. But once Ming Yu lost his world, he started to collapse.

Xi Ze didn't notice Ming Yu's abrupt departure until the ECG monitor suddenly sounded an alarm. the startled Xi Ze look up and stared sluggishly at the straight line for a long time.

Doctors and nurses rushed into the ward, followed by Ming Yu's friends.

Everyone was ready for this day but once it really came, they cried desperately.

Ming Yu was an orphan without any parents. Once he was sick, he signed to donate his body's organs. This disease was atrophy of the cerebellum, causing him to gradually lost control over every part of his body, eventually losing control of his heart and breathing, causing him to die.

But during this process, his ability to think never stopped. He could only watch as his body gradually weakened and he collapsed step by step. This was the cruelest part of the disease.

Once a white cloth covered Ming Yu's face, Xi Ze couldn't help kissing the lips.

Xi Ze was startled when he actually touched the lips, but it was only a shallow kiss and he could no longer touch his lover.

There was a trace of temperature on his lips, as if his lover had never left.

Xi Ze wept bitterly again, unable to control himself. HE guarded the young man's body as he stayed in hospital all night. Finally, he watch Ming Yu's friends send him into the fire, the body burning.

Even after being gone for two years, once Ming Yu really passed away, fans around the world cried for him and media magazines mourned him. His funeral was very simple, only a few friends bowing in front of his tombstone.

On that tombstone, they left a photo of Ming Yu.

『 Life is like the glory of summer flowers, death is like the beauty of autumn leaves. 』

25 years was a short time. Xi Ze leaned on his lover's tombstone and kept silent for a year.

One year later, this dream shattered and everything returned to a beautiful world.

Chapter 236 – Extra Story Two (End)

After a full seven days of having a low temperature, Xi Ze woke up the day after his body temperature finally rose.

There was only one day left until the first scheduled show for Zeyu. Fortunately, Xi Ze had woken up in time. Otherwise, the news that he was unconscious would spread in the world's major media the next day and could no longer be suppressed.

As suddenly as he entered the coma, Xi Ze's body quickly recovered after waking up and he finished the preparations for the fashion show that evening. The next day's high-end show proceeded as planned. It was grand and brilliant, giving a good start to Zeyu and making people around the world acknowledge the existence of Zeyu.

After the fashion show, Ming Yu hurriedly pulled the man home to rest.

He clearly remembered Xi Ze's unconscious appearance and then there was such a large workload after waking him. If Xi Ze was still in a bad state, MingYu wouldn't have let him continue with the preparations of the fashion show and would've only allowed him to appear on stage after the show ended.

The low body temperature of 35°C for seven days was definitely a deadly disaster. But after Xi Ze woke up, the doctor was surprised to find not the slightest deterioration in his body. Xi Ze was very healthy and strong. Apart from being slightly weak, he was no different from ordinary people.

But even if the doctors said so, Ming Xiaoyu wouldn't allow Xi Ze to act arbitrarily.

On the road home, the handsome young man's brow was furrowed as he held the steering wheel with one hand and said seriously, "Three years ago, you said that you aren't too young and you don't have as much energy as before. Mr. Xi, this time I was gone for three days and you didn't take care of your body?"

The 23 year old Ming Yu was no longer the young and tender youth. His original light was restrained and calm. Combined with the tempering of the years, this edge had been polished into a round and delicate jade, making people unable to look away.

Ming Yu's strength in this period of time was vivid.

Xi Ze's face was still sickly pale since he had gone seven days without eating, relying on glucose to maintain his life. But when the man opened his eyes, his weak appearance couldn't influence his powerful atmosphere. Even if he rubbed his temples on the passenger seat, he wasn't suppressed by Ming Yu at all.

Ming Yu was really angry right now, very very angry.

However, this man calmly ignored his anger.

Xi Ze's thin lips curved as he asked, "When did you get a driver's license?"

Ming Xiaoyu frowned. "You are changing the topic." It was a reprimand but Ming Yu still replied. "I got it when I was gone. I drove over to see you and didn't expect to find you unconscious."

Ming Yu had been too busy the last few years and only just found time to take his driver's license test.

Xi Ze let out a meaningfully "oh" and didn't say much about this issue.

The car smoothly moved and once it was a traffic ham, Ming Yu took the initiative to reach out and touch Xi Ze's face.

The handsome man's face was pinched and became slightly deformed but Ming Xiaoyu didn't stop. After a long time of pinching, he scoffed, "I am a bit anxious when seeing your appearance."

Xi Ze raised an eyebrow. "A bit?"

Ming Yu remembered his fears in the past few days and sneered. "I am very anxious!"

The car was blocked and couldn't move forward. Therefore, Ming Yu started to scold Xi Ze. "You should take care of your body. You are 30 years old so don't work endlessly. Even a 13 year old can't bear it! Your body is the most important thing. Everything else is secondary. You must take care of your body."

Ming Yu was solemn and his tone was earnest when saying these words. His light coloured eyes were dignified and sincere. When he looked at Xi Ze, his gaze was pleading as he begged the other person to cherish his body.

In the end, Ming Yu sighed and said, "It is a type of happiness to see and hear this world. To walk in this world and have a good body, this is the happiest thing." He suddenly smiled. "Xi Ze, I love you. Therefore, I hope you can let me love you forever. Don't let anything happen to you."

The smile was warm and soft, the beautiful eyes slightly curved, reminding Xi Ze of the person in his dream.

It was the same golden sunshine. Even when this person couldn't see, hear or smell, even if his sense of touch was a bit dull, he still tried to breathe in the fresh air and smiled when exposed to sunlight.

Xi Ze sighed heavily and reached out to his lover.

"I will take good care of my body so you do the same."

Ming Yu naturally didn't hear the deep meaning in Xi Ze's words. He raised his hand and casually patted the man's back. "Okay, you know you were wrong and will change. I can forgive you. But you made me feel worried for so long, you have to give me compensation. Mr. Xi, I'll have a big dinner this evening."

Xi Ze asked, "I will do it?"

Ming Yu nodded as he started to move the car forward. "Yes, I want my favorite oil prawns, sweet and sour pork tenderloins, braised lion's head…"

The traffic jam meant the two people only arrived home at 10 in the evening.

It seemed impossible to eat dinner but there could still be a light meal. Xi Ze casually cooked some small dishes that were light and delicious.

After the meal, the old husband and wife… cough, the old husbands started watching TV.

There was no difference with ordinary couples. Xi Ze looked up the information that he missed in the last seven days and occasionally looked up at the TV. Ming Yu was playing with his phone and also occasionally watching the content on the TV.

Coincidentally, an advertisement that Ming Yu shot six months ago for Ji and Ya appeared. MingYu looked at it with interest before saying, "This advertisement was only released last month. During the days when you were in a coma, the advertising ratings were quite good. Many people like it."

Xi Ze looked carefully at his mushroom's advertisement. After hearing this, he asked, "Because of you?"

Ming Yu smiled and nodded. "To be precise, it is because of my acting."

Xi Ze, "……."

A moment passed before Xi Ze sighed. "I have never seen such a brazen person."

Ming Xiaoyu wasn't convinced. "What do you mean? My acting has been acknowledged by many people! It might be worse than Sister Xiao and Brother Fang, but I have reached an average level in showbiz. I also received my third movie this year and am ready to cameo as a supporting role!

A terrible scene from his dream suddenly emerged in Xi Ze's mind. The Ming Yu in his dream, the acting could only be described as 'disastrous' and was like the scene of a car crash. Compared to that, the current Ming Yu really was better at acting.

"I will help hone your acting skills."

Ming Yu was slightly stunned and asked, "How will you hone it?"

"I thought of a script."

The kiss started in the living room and soon moved to the bedroom.

The two bodies rolled around on the bed and the youth was soon letting out small groans.

The climax was approaching when Xi Ze suddenly stopped moving, looking down at the young man immersed in desire. His eyes were far-reaching, as if he was looking through the years to stare closely at Ming Yu.

This was his lover, his heartbreaking lover.

His lover once made him speechless with pain but now his lover was alive in front of him.

The scenes from the dream were as clear as yesterday, making him unable to ignore the grief and despair in the dream.

Xi Ze stopped right before the climax, causing Ming Yu to feel uncomfortable and wrinkle his eyebrows. There was a hint of dissatisfaction on the flushed face, his appearance surpassing the most feminine and enchanting woman in the world.Xi Ze's heart beat accelerated and seemed to jump out of his chest.

"What are you trying to force me to do now?"

The young man tried to suppress the feeling and asked in a hoarse voice.

Three years ago, he agreed to Xi Ze's marriage proposal and to wear the wedding dress in the Ji and Ya show. He had his professionalism but Xi Ze still took advantage of him in bed to make him agree. Now Xi Ze once again stopped and Ming Yu's first thought was that this man was planning something bad again.

But to his surprise, in the clear and bright moonlight, this man just bowed his head and didn't say anything.

He stared down at Ming Yu with a quiet and deep gaze. An indescribable pain filled the cold and noble face. Sadness and pain were mixed together, so that Ming Yu's heart tightened despite not understanding what happened.

He and this man had been deeply in love for many years and regarded the other person as part of them.

He couldn't be without Xi Ze and Xi Ze couldn't be without him.

Whether it was the squabbling of the two people or the shameless scripts, Ming Yu had seem many sides of Xi Ze. There was the arrogant and noble side, the gently and careful side, the calm and elegant side and the cold-blooded and cruel side. Ming Yu liked all of these sides of Xi Ze because he felt that this was an expression of the other's love for him.

But the present Xi Ze wasn't acting.

His pain seemed to have penetrated deep into his bone marrow and his sorrow channeled into his blood. When a tear fell onto Ming Yu's face, Ming Yu was stunned and couldn't understand what happened. Xi Ze opened his mouth and asked,

"If you can't see, what would you think?"

"If you can't hear, what would you think?"

"If you can't even feel the temperature of the air, what would you think?"

The three questions in a row made Ming Yu completed stunned.

His eyes trembled gently and his heart was filled with words. Then he raised his eyes and calmed down when he saw this man's tearful eyes. Ming Yu smiled and raised his hand to the man's neck, giving the other person an affectionate kiss.

"I would think that I am still alive and can still think. I can still imagine the love I never had in my life."

In response, Xi Ze suddenly kissed Ming Yu and both men reached the peak at the same time.

Under the bright moonlight, the young man embraced Xi Ze's waist. He placed his ear on the other person's chest, listening to the steady heartbeat as he started to tell his story.

It was a story he never wanted to tell the other person because he thought the ending was too dull.

Ming Yu believed that he had almost no regrets in his last life. He had no parents and wasn't eager for family. He reached the peak of his career before he became ill and became a myth in the fashion world. He had a group of good friends and lasted two years so that everyone accepted his illness. He also said good things to his friends.

The only thing he didn’t have was love.

He didn't know what love was like because in that world, he never fell in love with anyone.

If Xi Ze's vision was high than what about Ming Yu?

The more excellent a person was, the more critical they were. But once they fell in love, it was really a lifelong thing.

Ming Yu summed up the darkness of his last six months of life with a simple sentence. He said he didn't know how long it was, he just felt it was very long. He couldn't see, hear or touch, so he started to imagine.

His brain was still working so at least he could dream.

He imagined that he was a healthy ordinary person with a beautiful and kind wife. They lived happily and might have a child, maybe a boy or maybe a girl. When he came him, his wife had already cooked the meal and after dinner, he and his wife would wash the dishes.

"Before I met you, I thought my love should be the same as other people. After I met you, I felt that I couldn't accept a third person between us, even if that person is a child." The low voice echoed in the quiet bedroom. " Xi Ze, you are mine, you can only be mine alone. I only have you and you must only have me."

This type of possessiveness might be too much for other people.

But once Xi Ze heard this, he couldn't help smiling and kissing the young man.

Once the kiss ended, Xi Ze stated, "This was what I wanted to say to you. You can only have me alone in your life. Ming Yu, I have seen your past and your present. Before you met me, you were mine. After meeting me, you became mine even more."

Before meeting Ming Yu, Xi Ze never thought he would fall in love with someone enough to die for them.

Before meeting Xi Ze, Ming Yu never thought that one day he would love a man and his love was so deep that he didn't want anyone to come between them.

They were selfish and their hearts were small, too small to accommodate another person.

"In that dream, my only regret was that you were already gone when I kissed you."

"Then in this reality, I will allow you to kiss me now and you will continue to kiss me in our wedding hall."

The marriage proposal was three years ago and they had been engaged for three years.

Now it was time to get married.

Marriage was no longer important to these two people, but as long as the names Xi Ze and Ming Yu were placed together, it was the best blessing in the world.

『 The world kisses me with pain but I sing a song.

You sing the song to the world and the world promises you a new life. 』

Final Extra

Even a dedicated model needed to take holidays.

After working hard for a full three months, one day in April, Ming Xiaoyu just returned home and didn't have time to take a sip of water before he was whisked away to an island in the tropics.

The sky was blue, the waves were clear and white seagulls glided gently over the blue sea. The salty taste of the sea blew ashore on the sea breeze. The son was hot but not sinister. It shone warmly on the body and there was a romantic taste in the air.

Since Xi Ze took his lover out on a holiday, he naturally arranged everything. The luggage was packed and the place of accommodation prepared. A secluded island where the two of them were the only people in the world was the best.

Night hadn't arrived yet. There were no fluctuations on Mr. Xi's handsome face but currents were surging in his heart.

A smooth white beach, uh, beach play √

A spacious and clear pool, well, pool play √

The blue sky, the ocean breeze, the empty island, a couple who loved each other…

No, he was getting a nosebleed! o(*≧▽≦)ツ!!!

From the moment he set foot on the small island, Mr. Xi's brain theatre began. Ming Xiaoyu had been with this man for many years but he hadn't completed the mind-reading technique. Therefore, he didn't think too much as he started to unpack his things.

“You didn't say hello this time but I don't blame you. This place is really beautiful. You should've time me earlier so I could prepare properly. Ding Bo's packing has some things missing but it isn't a big problem."

Xi Ze hummed and looked forward to the upcoming night.

Ming Yu spent the morning unpacking his things and then in the afternoon, the two of them went to the beach to play. Xi Ze could swim but he didn't like water. Therefore, he just lay on the beach and bask in the sun. Ming Yu ridiculed him as a 'dry duck.'

Was Mr. Xi a dry duck?

Mr Xi: Wait for the pool play in the evening. Then he would personally tell the answer to Small Mushroom.

Xi Ze calculated thousands of things and thought he took everything into account. He didn't think that as the sky was darkening and the two of them started heading back, a yacht roared on the sea and stopped 10 metres away from the two.

Ming Xiaoyu, "……"

Xi Ze, "……"

A pair of slender legs, sexy hair and a skinny body emerged from the yacht. When Du Ruo suddenly appeared here, Ming Yu was stunned and stared at Xi Ze with surprise.

But he didn't have to wait long for an answer as a familiar figure appeared on the yacht.

He Chaoman looked at Ming Yu and Xi Ze with amazement. "How are you here?"

Xi Ze's lips thinned and his eyebrows raised, a very cold wind blowing from him. "How are you here?"

This so-called wise man was at a loss!

Xi Ze chose an uninhabited island under his name and thought they would be able to live in a world with just the two of them. He didn't expect that He Chaoman would unexpectedly choose this small island when going on vacation with Du Ruo!

This island might be under Xi Ze's name but half a year ago, it still belonged to his body. As someone who hardly ever left her house, He Chaoman didn't know that this island now belonged to Xi Ze. Du Ruo came to her for a holiday and said she hoped to experience the scenery of a tropical beach. Therefore, He Chaoman first thought about this place.

Deep in the night, the two men and two women sat by a fire and roasted meat.

The fire shook due to the sea breeze and the sound of the meat roasting filled the air. Spicy powder and salt were sprinkled on the pieces of meat. The spicy and tempting smell filled the air.

Ming Yu flipped the piece of meat while Xi Ze remained silent with a cold expression. He Chaoman was playing with her phone while Du Ruo touched her arm, feeling that the temperature here was lower than Huaxia.

Once the meat was ready, Ming Yu opened his mouth and broke the silence. However, Xi Ze still had a 'you owe me 5 million' expression on his face. MINg Xiaoyu knew that this man was releasing air-conditioning again.

The evening Mr. Xi hoped for had arrived but Mr. Xi was full of anger.

After eating the meat, Xi Ze said solemnly to He Chaoman, "Little aunt, you will leave tomorrow."

He Chaoman was shaken by the words 'little aunt' but then unexpectedly said, "Why should we leave? Big nephew, you have to respect the old and love the young. I am your elder and you should respect me. I am also younger than you and you should love the young. A holiday is to relax and it will be lively with more people."

Xi Ze's face darkened as he whispered, "Really?"

The dangerous atmosphere instantly spread out, causing He Chaoman to gulp and finally surrender. "Adenes is so annoying. Recently, she has stayed in Huaxia for a long time and is always har…. cough, always harassing me. I'm hiding from her. I promise, I will absolutely leave in three days."

Ming Yu probably guessed the reason why Xi Ze was uncomfortable and didn't have any further exchanges with He Chaoman and Du Ruo. Instead, he turned around and comforted his lover. "It is good for everyone to play together. We can be alone after they are gone so don't care about this time."

Xi Ze's depressed mood was somewhat alleviated when he heard Ming Yu's low voice.

His expression didn't change this evening but his heart had long been depressed. After pushing down his mushroom, Ming Yu counterattacked and Xi Ze was pressed under his body. The two of them kissed on the sofa for a long time and finally moved to the bed.

A moment before the battle, Xi Ze suddenly stopped moving and turned to look at the door. He coughed softly and there was an echo from outside the house before there was the sound of someone fleeing.

Then Xi Ze turned back around and gently entered his lover.

They already broke the world of the two people and now they wanted to listen? Weren't they afraid?

Once the fierce sex ended, Xi Ze lightly held his naked mushroom and gently kneaded the soft arm while whispering, "This time is just a short thing. Once you have a bit more time, we will travel around the world."

As soon as he heard this, Ming Yu's sleepiness suddenly disappeared.

He turned over in amazement and asked, "What do you mean by travelling around the world?"

Xi Ze's eyes narrowed and he smiled. "I mean it literally."

Ming Xiaoyu, "…"

After a moment, he couldn’t help saying, "Don't tell me that you mean for us to travel around the world someday? Travelling around the world isn't a problem but the time is important. Are you sure you have time?"

Xi Ze raised an eyebrow. "If you have the time, I will have time."

This time, Xi Ze didn't wait for Ming Xiaoyu to reply as he gently hugged and whispered to Ming Yu, "After marriage, we haven't gone on a honeymoon yet. The next time it will be just the two of us, with no other people and we will go everywhere."

"Let me think about it."

Xi Ze asked, "…You still have to think about it?"

Ming Xiaoyu sneered. "If you make me a delicious table of food tomorrow, I will seriously consider it."

Xi Ze's lips thinned and his expression darkened. "I don't cook for others.

Ming Yu was stunned' That is Sister Du and your little aunt."

"They aren't my lover. I have no need to feed them."

“Your behaviour right now reminds me of a saying. The woman… cough, the man who wants to control another man must first win over his stomach."

"You are the one who married me, my little wife."

Ming Xiaoyu sneered. "You forced me!"

Xi Ze smiled. "It is because you looked very beautiful in that wedding dress."

"Oh, get lost."

Ming Yu kicked at Xi Ze's body. However, the size of the bed was large enough for two big men to lie on. How could such large movement be accepted? Ming Yu just raised his leg when Xi Ze grabbed it, stopping him from moving.

Ming Yu hadn't been able to respond when Xi Ze's fingers rubbed him.

Was there really something in the world like a pure chat under the blankets?

It was just time for recharge!

Mr. Xi had raised his energy and now it was time to show it off.

Soon there was the sound of the headboard moving and Ming Yu cursing, "What is this posture? My waist is going to break. Get lost!" and Xi Ze replying, "Good, this is deeper." Perhaps it was to make up for the beach play, the pool play and all types of plays. This time, Xi Ze was at full strength and did some actions that really made Ming Xiaoyu blush.

This time, there was a low groan and Ming Yu muttered, "I want to cut you."

But this type of condemnation was just flirting for Mr. X and made him move harder.

It was only two times but Ming Yu was so tired that he lay limply on the bed.

Even so, Mr. Xi was still energetic and wanted to tease. Once he came again the third time, Ming Xiaoyu's eyes reddened and he scolded the sky. "I am only 22 years old! Why do I feel that a 30 year old is more energetic than I am?"

The seven year older Xi Ze's face darkened before he laughed. "A 30 year old man is as fierce as a tiger."

This evening, Ming Yu was helpless under this uncontrolled tiger.

Three days later, to He Chaoman's regret and Du Ruo's helplessness, the two of them looked at Xi Ze's cold face and finally left with disappointment.

Once he saw the two beauties leaving, Ming Yu sighed emotionally. "It is really incomprehensible. A holiday with two beauties, how many people would dream of…"

The man's overbearing hot breath suddenly filled his mouth, causing Ming Yu to respond enthusiastically. Standing on the sandy beach, Ming Yu was suddenly pulled to Xi Ze's body and started to counterattack. But this behaviour only caused Xi Ze to be stunned for a moment before he held the youth's head with one hand and used his height advantage to fiercely kiss Ming Yu.

The height difference of 7 cm meant Ming Yu had to raise his head to kiss his lover.

This caused Ming Yu's resistance to disappear more and more. Once the kiss was over, a strand of silver was at the corner of their lips and Ming Yu's lips were bright red and full.

"You have been working all your life and don't know how to rest well."

The man's low voice caused Ming Yu to look up at him with astonishment.

"No one can be sure if a sickness is related to fatigue but you are pushing yourself too hard, I don't like it."

Ming Yu laughed. "You are saying this to me? Who was the one who abruptly fell unconscious?"

Xi Ze raised an eyebrow at the youth's teasing and continued, "I will let you rest well in the future."

"Hey, is it really no problem?"

"If I say there is no problem then it is no problem."

“How can you be so shameless? I will divorce you."

"Do you really want a divorce?"

Xi Ze's suddenly serious words made Ming Yu stunned. After a moment, he whispered, "Mr. Xi, I've thought about it carefully. I am in the prime of my life while you are old. I am getting the short end of the straw."

Xi Ze thoughtfully hummed. He didn't wait for Ming Yu's response when he suddenly picked up the youth.

In the face of Ming Yu's startled expression, Xi Ze solemnly stated, "In order to avoid being unable to satisfy my lover, I have decided to do my job seriously starting from today. I can't let my lover suffer."

"Hey, what do you mean by this?"

Xi Ze mused, "There is a nice pool behind the house."

Ming Xiaoyu, "…That isn't what I meant."

Xi Ze sighed. "I had good scripts but the lack of external conditions meant they couldn't be acted out. This is a great opportunity to train your acting skills. I will sacrifice myself and act out the scene with you."

"Get out of here!!"

He said this but Ming Yu didn't mean to struggle at all. Instead, his eyes rolled as he started to recall a possible script. From what he recalled, the script was adapted from the fairy tale the Little Mermaid…

The more he remembered, the better he felt.

Ming Yu's eyes narrowed and he licked his lips. His behaviour was seen by Xi Ze and he understood that his mushroom liked it.

How many years had they been unable to act out this script? To be able to play again, it was amazing!

Needless to say, the two of them rushed off the beach and headed to the pool behind the house. But this time, Xi Ze was just about to leave the beach when he heard a familiar sound from behind him. Xi Ze and Ming Yu stiffened and the two people turned back to look.

They saw a speedboat splitting apart the waves on the sea.

A handsome man stood on the bow and waved his eyes. By his side, a gentle-looking man was looking down at the map, his hand holding the excited man's clothes so that he didn't fall out the boat.

Luo Cheng, "Hey Ming Yu! You’re here! Let's go on holiday together!"

Xi Ze and Ming Yu, "…(/= _ =)/~┴┴!!"

What type of grudges did God have against them?!!

TL: This is the official end of the story between Xi Ze and Ming Yu. Thank you for joining me on this journey  and I will miss our favourite black-bellied couple. 

Like I said, at the moment I’m probably not going to translate the side story between Luo Cheng and Song Chuci. Therefore, this story will officially be marked complete for now.

As for my next project, I already have it picked out. It is a gaming novel, similar to the King’s Avatar but with BL. I will take a short break before posting it.
