Chapter 1

The sound of a child crying was quite loud. "Quickly call an ambulance" someone shouted. "Isn't that actor Zhang Qing?" Another person said. "I saw him running to save this little kid and hugging this little kid tightly before he got hit." Another person said. "He's probably just looking for sympathy." Another person said.

"Yes, he's a dirty person who likes to frame and destroy other people's careers." Another added. Zhang Qing felt a pain in his head. 'Damn I'm so sleepy. I didn't think I would die like this.' Zhang Qing thought.

Zhang Qing vaguely saw someone running towards him. "Zhang Qing, hang in there. Your manager found evidence that you're innocent. Don't..." The person's words were not very audible anymore because Zhang Qing closed his eyes.

When Zhang Qing opened his eyes again. He was in an unfamiliar room. Zhang Qing tried to sit up but his movements woke someone up. "A Yuan, you're awake. That's good." The man said looking happy.

"Who are you?" Zhang Qing asked as he managed to sit up leaning against the headboard with the help of the man. "Did you forget me? I'm Zhang Minzhe, your brother. You're Zhang Qingyuan, my brother." The man named Zhang Minzhe said worriedly.

'I was in the novel I read last night.' Zhang Qing thought in surprise. "Are you okay?" Zhang Minzhe asked worriedly. Zhang Qing was silent. "Do I need to call a doctor?" Zhang Minzhe asked again in a worried tone.

"I was joking with you." Zhang Qing said smilingly. "Ge, I'm hungry. Can you cook something for me?" Zhang Qing asked. Zhang Minzhe nodded happily and was also touched.

Zhang Minzhe immediately left the room. 'I remember. This scene reaches the point where I was pushed by the main character into the pool. After waking up, I, who had been brainwashed by the main character, believed my brother threatened her to push me. Good thing, I woke up earlier.' Zhang Qing thought a little happily.

"A Yuan," Minzhe called worriedly. Minzhe who suddenly grabbed Zhang Qing's shoulder opened Zhang Qing's eyes in surprise and quickly pushed Minzhe's hand away. A bowl of soup spilled on Minzhe's body.

Minzhe winced. Zhang Qing came to his senses. "Are you okay? Quickly take off your clothes." Zhang Qing said in panic. At that time Jiang Qianfan came inside. "I'm okay." Minzhe said.

"You poured hot soup on him again!" Qianfan said angrily. "He didn't mean it. My brother wouldn't do something bad like that." Minzhe said defending Zhang Qing.

Zhang Qing lifted Minzhe's sleeve who was busy defending Zhang Qing. Zhang Qing was shocked by the wound on Minzhe's arm. "Where did you get this wound?" Zhang Qing asked in surprise.

"You don't have to pretend. If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have a wound like this." Qianfan said angrily. "Did father do it?" Zhang Qing asked looking at Minzhe. Minzhe was silent in shock seeing Zhang Qing's angry expression.

But Minzhe knew that the anger was not directed at him but at their father, Zhang Ping. "I'm okay." Minzhe said worriedly seeing the change in his brother.

Zhang Qing went to the closet and took a bag out. Zhang Qing took out a shirt and jeans. "Change it with this. Don't worry, this is a gift from someone important to me. He saw you wearing this so he will know what I mean." Zhang Qing said.

"What do you want?" Qianfan asked suspiciously. Zhang Qing stared coldly at Qianfan before looking at Minzhe. "Do you trust me?" Zhang Qing asked Minzhe. Minzhe nodded. "Change your clothes and go to the Light Area apartment, 3rd floor, room number 9. Bring this card too. The officer will see this card and know that you are my guest." Zhang Qing said seriously.

Minzhe nodded in understanding and accepted the black card. Minzhe immediately went to the bathroom to change clothes. "I don't know who you are? If you dare to hurt my brother, I will kill you." Zhang Qing said flatly.

"You didn't kill him, it's good." Qianfan quipped. Minzhe came out of the bathroom. "A Yuan, aren't you coming?" Minzhe asked worriedly. "You go first." Zhang Qing said, taking a bag and giving it to Minzhe. "Take this with you too." Zhang Qing said. Minzhe took the bag and left.

Zhang Qing called someone. "It's Zhang Qingyuan. Go to Light Area, our house. Emergency. Burns and cuts and whipping." Zhang Qing said quickly. The person he called didn't even have time to speak.

Zhang Qing looked at his room in disgust before gathering all the things to burn as well as his brother's clothes. The Zhang family had their own trash incineration system so Zhang Qing activated it.

Zhang Qing only took his laptop and his brother's. Those two items were the only ones their mother bought for them. Zhang Qing then left from there. 'From now on, I am Zhang Qingyuan, Zhang Minzhe's younger brother. Even though this is a novel I have to do well. In the real world I am already dead.' Zhang Qing or Zhang Qingyuan thought.

"What's the password number?" Qianfan asked confusedly. "I forgot to ask." Minzhe said awkwardly. "A Yuan" someone shouted approaching the two of them.

After getting close the man fell silent. "Minzhe, you ..." The man's words stopped. "Are you the injured person?" The man asked. "Feng Ning ge, why did you ...?" Minzhe's question stopped. "You are an important person to A Yuan." Minzhe said.

"You don't know the password number." Xu Feng Ning said smiling. "Actually it's very easy 9820. He said you like this password." Feng Ning said while entering the password. The door opened.

@in the apartment

"Sit down and take off your shirt. I'll treat your wound." Feng Ning said and Minzhe followed. Qianfan looked at Feng Ning suspiciously. Feng Ning cleaned the wound very carefully, some deep wounds needed stitches, some were only given medicine.

Meanwhile, Zhang Qingyuan went to Bai Muyang's house. Bai Muyang looked at Zhang Qingyuan calmly. "You want your mother's money. No way." Bai Muyang said flatly. "That money was secretly saved by my mother to protect my brother and me. Now I need that money." Zhang Qingyuan said flatly.

"What you did to your brother. I know that. You think I believe you've changed just like that." Bai Muyang said coldly. "Then I don't need that money. If my brother's injury doesn't heal because of you, I'll kill you." Zhang Qingyuan said coldly with a murderous aura.

Bai Muyang looked shocked. Bai Muyang took out a savings card. "Here are a few million. You can use it first. I'll see what you do." Bai Muyang said a little horrified. Zhang Qingyuan took the savings card and left.

The first thing Qingyuan did was to shop for clothes for his brother. From casual to formal clothes and even sleepwear. Qingyuan himself bought casual clothes and sleepwear. He headed to Light Area by taxi.

@room number 9

"You must be wondering why this apartment wasn't taken by your father?" Feng Ning asked while tidying up her equipment. Minzhe nodded.

"Because this apartment is under my name and your father doesn't know about this." Feng Ning said and Minzhe nodded in return. "I heard that he treated you badly but seeing you wearing these clothes. I think you're important to him." Feng Ning said.

"If it was important then he wouldn't have hurt his brother so badly." Qianfan quipped. "Qianfan, don't talk anymore." Minzhe said annoyed. "I also came to ask for an explanation from him." Feng Ning said smiling.

Qingyuan came inside carrying several shopping bags. "These are yours." Qingyuan said putting the shopping bags in front of his brother. "Did you buy new ones? My clothes..." Minzhe was cut off. "Those dirty clothes should have been burned a long time ago. Wear new ones." Qingyuan said smiling.

Qingyuan stared at Feng Ning blankly before taking out an envelope filled with money. "Medical expenses. I hope you don't tell anyone. That you met me today. You can leave." Qingyuan said coldly.

"Don't you want to explain anything to me?" Feng Ning asked annoyedly. "What needs to be explained? Don't you think I'm so dirty and disgusting that you don't even want to see my face let alone be friends with me?" Qingyuan said smiling coldly.

Minzhe felt something was wrong. Qianfan was even confused about the direction of this conversation. "When did I say that? You were the one who suddenly sent me a message and said that you were disgusted by me and wanted to break up with me during your last year in high school." Feng Ning said not accepting it.

"My brother rarely sends messages especially to people important to him." Minzhe said trying to lighten the situation. "Do you still want to lie? Last year in high school, in the middle of the year I was in the hospital because I was seriously injured. I asked my father to call you but the answer I got. You feel that I'm dirty and disgusting because I..." Qingyuan said biting his lip unable to continue. Qingyuan's tears flowed non-stop.

Minzhe, Qianfan and Feng Ning were shocked. Feng Ning reached out his hand to wipe away the tears but Feng Ning's hand was pushed away by Qingyuan. "Don't touch me." Said Qingyuan ran to his room and locked the door. Feng Ning looked shocked.

"I've seen this scene in a drama." Su Lanying came. "Why are you here?" Minzhe asked in surprise. "Qianfan told me this place and the password so I came in." Lanying said casually.

Minzhe looked at Qianfan in annoyance. Qianfan had no choice but to change the topic. "What kind of scene is that?" Qianfan asked. "A scene where the female lead who had been raped, traumatized by someone touching her." Lanying answered. The three of them's faces turned pale.

"Seriously injured?! Which bastard dares to hurt my brother!!" Minzhe said angrily. Qianfan and Lanying sighed heavily. Tonight they had to hold Minzhe back from looking for those bastards.

Feng Ning went to Qingyuan's room and opened the door with a spare key. Qingyuan was already asleep sitting on the floor. Feng Ning hugged Qingyuan from the side. "I'm sorry. I should have known it wasn't you." Feng Ning muttered softly.

\#the next day

Qingyuan woke up and found that his clothes had changed into pajamas. Qingyuan came out of his room and found Qianfan and the other young men asleep as well as his brother.

The aroma of food came from the kitchen. 'Who?' thought Qingyuan confused. Qingyuan went to the kitchen and was surprised to see Feng Ning still there. "Are you awake?" Feng Ning asked smiling. 'This is his house so it's natural he stays here.' thought Qingyuan. "After I find a suitable house then I will move out of here." Qingyuan said awkwardly.

Last night he was too carried away by the feelings of the previous body owner so he let out a lot of emotions and he was exhausted. "You don't have to move. This is also your house. I know what you wanted to say last night. You don't have to say it if you don't want to. I know it's embarrassing for you." Feng Ning explained.

Qingyuan was silent. 'How did he know? As far as I know the original plot doesn't have a part where Feng Ning knows about this.' thought Qingyuan confused. Minzhe walked slowly to go out. "Ge, where are you going so early in the morning?" asked Qingyuan without looking at Minzhe.

"I want to make them pay for your trauma." Minzhe said angrily. "I'll take care of them. Now the most important thing is. I want to open a company and you will be the director of the programming department." Qingyuan said handing over a savings card.

"This? But..." Minzhe's words were cut off. "I've written your resignation letter and put it on dad's desk. He already knows you're leaving." Qingyuan explained. "Maze Technology is mom's company. We don't..." Minzhe's words were cut off again.

"The company is indeed mom's but you protect the company and me. The wounds on your body are getting more and more. Mom doesn't want you to sacrifice yourself for her company. She prefers you to live healthily. I'm the same." Qingyuan explained.

Minzhe looked at Qingyuan speechless. "Did the sun rise from the West today?" Qianfan quipped. "And you're unemployed. You'll be the CEO of Blossom Technology, which is mine and my brother's." Qingyuan said sarcastically. Feng Ning smiled and so did Minzhe. Lanying held back laughter. Qianfan seemed annoyed by Qingyuan's call but he didn't know how to answer.
