Episode 2

Yang Jiali had a dream.

He dreamed of him and Ye Ting when he was in college.

At that time, he and Ye Ting were still together and hey loved each other very much. They displayed their affection publicly in the school, which even school's stray dogs envied them.

He remembered that it was the day Ye Ting ran for the chairman of the student union. As soon as it was announced, he dragged Ye Ting to the restaurant to celebrate.

After the celebration, Yang Jiali asked Ye Ting: "Would you like to have a gift? Your dad, I am in a good mood today. What do you want, tell me!"

Ye Ting didn't say a word, and took Yang Jiali's hand to the nearest love hotel.

Yang Jiali was coaxed into bed by Ye Ting.

He looked at Ye Ting standing on the bedside-still wearing the white shirt and black trousers used during the campaign. He was handsome and upright. He was an imaginary actor who could make countless girls dream in their head before going to bed. He also was the dreamboat for the bottom craving until midnight.

Yang Jiali ridiculed: "You pretended to be serious on the podium during the day, and sneaked me to the hotel at night, Ting brother, awesome!"

Ye Ting didn't answer, he chose to be an activist who said it all.

The two young people who were young and full of vigor and they did until half past four in the morning.

Ye Ting hugged Yang Jiali and went to the bathroom to take a bath.

Although Yang Jiali was so tired that his calves trembled, he was amused in nature. He lay in the bathtub and rubbed his body with a bath ball. While rubbing, he cried out addictedly: "I am no longer that 20-year-old innocent boy. The virgin barrier that I has been holding for 20 years is broken today. Ye Ting, I'm so dirty!"

Ye Ting grabbed Yang Jiali who was out of the line and gave him a kiss, and blocked his mouth.

At that time, the sky was still dark, Yang Jiali was lying on the marble table next to the bathtub, watching the bright lights outside.

Yang Jiali had enough trouble, and asked Ye Ting in a low voice: "Do you think we will always be together? Will you abandon me in the future."

Ye Ting closed his eyes: "No."

"So sure?"

Ye Ting hugged Yang Jiali, leaned in his ear, and said softly and earnestly: "Baby, I will be the most loyal guard in your life. From now on, no matter how far you go, wherever you go in the world, if turn your head you can see me, I swear."

Yang Jiali trembled, turned his head slightly, and touched Ye Ting's lips.

They couldn't help but start kissing.

Yang Jiali spoke presumptuously, but was very passive when kissing; Ye Ting talked few words, and kissing was extremely fierce.

When they kissed, there was a faint morning light on the horizon, the lights of the city at dawn fell one after another, and small breakfast stalls began to appear on the street, and smoke and fire, along with the hot mist of soy milk, drifted all over the whole city.

That moment was so beautiful.

Yang Jiali woke up from the dream, his whole heart still stuck in the dream, unable to extricate himself.

It took a long time before he returned to reality.

He looked at the small, dark bedroom, at the empty bedside.

The person who once said that he would be the most loyal guard in his life, now he was cuddling others in his arms.

The person who once vowed to follow closely no matter where he went to the world, didn't know which intersection he was at, turned and left, and never followed.

When the love was strong, the love becomes weak.

Only then did Yang Jiali come to understand: Ye Ting only loved him for a short time, and when the love was over, he would love others.

The few years of youth they spent together was like a violent rainstorm, and it was over.

Everyone was growing, and no one was waiting for anyone.

The harsh alarm sounded, pulling Yang Jiali out of his thoughts.

Yang Jiali wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, laughed at himself twice, turned off the alarm clock, and pulled his slippers into the bathroom to wash.

Ye Ting was now a high-ranking person who didn’t want to have any relation with him. He had no worries about food and clothes as well as love.

And he had to continue to worry about work and rent.

While brushing his teeth, Yang Jiali looked at himself in the mirror, smiled, and said to himself: "Too realistic, life is too realistic, fuck."

After finishing that, Yang Jiali went to his brokerage company.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the brokerage company, he saw the other two members of their team standing at the door waiting for him.

Both of these members were named Li, and Yang Jiali is used to calling them Big Li and Small Li. The inspiration for this name came from "Bears Infested".

Li Dali Er had a dream of being a star since he was young, and felt that when he debuted, he would definitely be a global hit, and fans would be chasing him wherever he went.

They even figured out how to educate fans to chase stars sensibly. But reality is reality after all. After so many years of debut, they still played a bit role that no one cares about. The only time they were on TV was when the agricultural TV station in their hometown spared 30 seconds to show their dancing clips after the pig feeding program ended.

Then the TV station received a complaint from enthusiastic audiences: shit dance, dancing like a village old aerobics, it was better to feed the pigs!

As the captain of this team, Yang Jiali was really struggling to take the two of them.

Big Li and Small Li met Yang Jiali, and asked immediately: "Brother Yang, did you get resources while drinking with those masters last night."

Yang Jiali sat on the steps and shook his head.

Big Li was worried: "What should we do? The boss has issued an ultimatum. If we can't get the resources anymore, let us disband."

Small Li gritted his teeth: "It really doesn't work. Let's go to the foot massage parlor next door to try. I heard that there are recruiting two singers."

Yang Jiali sighed, thought for a long time, and patted his thigh: "I'm going to find the boss."

He entered the company and went directly to the boss's office.

Sitting down at the boss's desk, Yang Jiali explained the fact that he hadn't succeeded last night, and he hadn't gotten the resources even though he had accompanied with the wine and vomited.

The boss was dangling a cigarette, with a tough attitude: "I still said that, if you can't pull the resources, the company has no need to continue to sign the contract with you. Disband when you have to. Don't be an eyesore."

Yang Jiali was unwilling: "Can you really give another chance."

The boss sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Xiao Yang, do you think I don't want to give you another chance. I tell you, it's the order from above."

Yang Jiali blinked: "Huh?"

"My small brokerage company belongs to the financial investment group above. You should know this."

Yang Jiali nodded.

"The group has recently changed its leadership and a new president has arrived. As soon as he took office, he had drastically carried out internal reforms. Redundant investment projects that did not make money and had no prospects were all cut-you are on the list of being cut. Understand?"

Yang Jiali is anxious: "We will plan and develop well, and we will definitely be able to make money for the company in the future. Can you..."

"What's the use of you telling me," the boss rolled his eyes. "The president of the group wants you to get out, how can I keep you."

Yang Jiali: "Then I go and beg him, will it work?"

The boss froze for a moment, and suddenly burst into laughter: "The chief executive has everything he can do. Do you think he sees all kinds of people? You don't want to think about what you are. You kneel and beg him, and he won't bother to look at you. Xiao Yang , How many people last night and how do you drink like that?"

Yang Jiali withered.

The boss laughed enough, wiped away the tears from his laughter, and said, "If you are really tough, you can try to go and beg him."

Yang Jiali mumbled: "I don't even know what he looks like, try a fart."

The boss clicked the mouse and clicked on a web page: "Just him, he's in the position of president at such a young age, tusk."

Yang Jiali slumped his shoulders, raised his eyelids weakly and took a look.

With just such a glance, he was stupefied like a thunder.

The screen showed the announcement of appointment and dismissal on the group's official website, a few lines of text, and a picture below.

In the group photo, the group's new young president, in a black suit, handsome, upright, and energetic, stood among the many elites, without losing any momentum.

Yang Jiali was so familiar with this face, he could recognize it at a glance.

Ye Ting.
