Chapter 2

"Su Lanying? I don't want to join your stupid program anymore." Zhang Qingyuan said cruelly. Qianfan laughed happily now. Lanying's face worsened. "You think you can come and go as you please." Lanying said flatly.

"I think so, you can put me in then you can take me out." Qingyuan said casually. Minzhe patted Qingyuan's shoulder. Qingyuan was a little surprised but he didn't push Minzhe's hand away again. They were silent before smiling. Qingyuan got used to it.

"A Yuan, you can't go out as you please. Why don't you try the audition? Maybe you can pass." Minzhe said smilingly. Qingyuan scratched the back of his neck which wasn't itchy and felt embarrassed. "I'll give it a try." Qingyuan said awkwardly.

'I didn't know he was so obedient to his brother to this extent. The change is too big.' Qianfan and Lanying thought in shock. "I..." Qingyuan's words were cut off because Minzhe's cellphone rang. Qingyuan stared at Minzhe's cellphone screen and his face worsened.

Qingyuan grabbed the cellphone and took out the SIM card before destroying it. "I'll give you a new cellphone and a new SIM card." Qingyuan said before throwing it into the trash. Qingyuan did the same with his cellphone before leaving.

An action that made everyone silent except Feng Ning who smiled. "Is that your father?" Feng Ning asked casually. "How do you know?" Minzhe asked in surprise. "It's not unusual for him to show hatred like that. I remember he had a fight with his peers before. He showed the same expression." Feng Ning said smiling.

'My little brother never showed me an expression like that. Does that mean he's waiting for an explanation? An explanation of what happened?' Minzhe thought silently. "You guys must be hungry. Let's eat." Feng Ning said. The three of them headed to the dining table. "I'll call A Yuan." Minzhe said.

"No need. I'll bring..." Feng Ning's words were cut off. "Ge, where's Qing er?" a young man asked hurriedly. "Calm down a bit." Another young man said. "Long time no see Minzhe ge. This new cellphone is ready for you to use." The calm young man said handing over a bag containing a cellphone.

"Xingrui, did A Yuan tell you to buy it?" Minzhe asked awkwardly. "We knew he would definitely break your phone and his so we bought new ones for you guys." Another young man explained. "Ruiwen, don't you have extra activities today? Are you skipping class again?" Feng Ning asked.

"I don't need to join that stupid class. So where is Qing er?" The young man named Ruiwen asked. "He's in his room." Minzhe explained. Ruiwen immediately headed to Qingyuan's room. Xingrui shook his head and followed.

"Who are they?" Lanying asked. "Ning Xingrui, Qingyuan's best friend before Qingyuan transferred from his school. Fu Ruiwen can be considered their junior and he was the most attached to Xingrui and A Yuan when they were in school." Minzhe nodded.

"Did you tell them, Feng Ning ge?" Minzhe asked worriedly. "They need to know. Their good relationship was also destroyed by your father. I don't know what your father wants? But I won't let him go." Feng Ning said coldly.

Everyone could feel Feng Ning's anger. Feng Ning is one of Qingyuan's childhood friends. They are very close, even Qingyuan's mother and Feng Ning's parents joked that they would marry each other when they grow up. "I won't forgive my father either. But the important thing now is how to heal A Yuan's trauma?" Minzhe said worriedly.

"Let's eat first." Feng Ning said smiling. The three of them obeyed. It didn't take long for the dining room to become a place of chaos. Qingyuan chased after Ruiwen. "Fu Ruiwen, today I will skin you!" Qingyuan said angrily.

"Tch, I don't believe it." Ruiwen said mockingly. Qingyuan took a deep breath trying to stabilize his emotions before smiling. "I might not be able to catch you but I have Xingrui." Qingyuan said sticking out his tongue before running back to his room.

"How dare you!" Ruiwen said running back to Qingyuan's room. The four of them laughed together. It seemed that Qingyuan's condition was not as bad as they initially thought.

Feng Ning brought food for the three of them. "Eat first." Feng Ning said. "I'll eat later. Ning ge, you have to go back to the hospital, right? Ruiwen, stop skipping class. Xingrui, you should go back to the university too. I won't run away." Qingyuan said while busy with his laptop.

The three of them looked at each other before nodding. The three of them went out. Qingyuan was busy in his own world until he didn't notice Minzhe coming in. "A Yuan" Minzhe called. Qingyuan straightened his arms before looking at Minzhe.

"It's already noon. Why haven't you eaten your breakfast yet?" Minzhe asked worriedly. Qingyuan got up from his seat. "Ge, try checking this antivirus. Can we market it?" Qingyuan said pulling Minzhe to his chair. Minzhe was confused but he sat down and checked the antivirus program.

Qingyuan took the breakfast that Feng Ning brought and ate it in silence. Qingyuan fell asleep while sitting leaning on the edge of the bed.

"A Yuan, did you make this program?" Minzhe asked happily because he didn't get an answer so Minzhe looked for Qingyuan and found Qingyuan asleep. "I almost forgot you are a genius for things like this." Minzhe said smiling.

Minzhe checked the program carefully again. Qianfan came in and whispered something in Minzhe's ear when he saw Qingyuan sleeping. The two of them finally went out.

@family room

"You mean I absolutely agree to his transfer? How could I..." Minzhe's words stopped. "I remember now, dad told me that my brother had a study tour, did I agree to him joining it. That was the only time my dad asked me." Minzhe said holding back his anger.

"I know why he hated me so much when he came home? He was oppressed. From junior high school to high school." Minzhe said laughing coldly. "Have you found the bastard who raped my brother?" Minzhe asked angrily.

"I agree to let your brother taking revenge on them. You'll find out later." Qianfan said mysteriously. Minzhe frowned in confusion.

"My brother has made a good antivirus. He asked me if we can market it?" Minzhe asked enthusiastically. 'For his brother, he will do anything.' Qianfan thought smiling. "How about trying it from my dad's and my mom's companies? They will definitely be happy." Qianfan said smiling sweetly.

"I almost forgot, my mom and my dad want to meet you." Qianfan said excitedly. "Why do your parents want to meet my brother?" Asked Qingyuan with a sleepy face.

"When did you wake up?" Minzhe asked worriedly. "Just now, I was hungry and wanted to eat. Then why do your parents want to meet my brother?" Qingyuan asked again. "What's wrong with your brother meeting his future in-laws?" Qianfan asked sarcastically.

Qingyuan nodded. "Then go. Wear the formal clothes I bought. The first meeting must be impressive." Qingyuan said to support Minzhe. "Don't you feel ...?" Minzhe's words were cut off. "I know what you want to say. For me, as long as you are happy, whoever you are with is fine." Qingyuan said flatly.

"You should get ready." Qingyuan said smiling. Minzhe looked happy and hurried. "Thank you." Qianfan said sincerely. "No need to thank me. He deserves his own happiness." Qingyuan said heading to the kitchen and cooking.

"I didn't know you could cook." Qianfan said in surprise. "Usually people cook for me so I don't need to do it. Now I'm hungry." Qingyuan said flatly. "You can come with me to eat." Qianfan said suddenly.

"No need, I still have business with my good friend. Don't I have to go to that damn survival program tomorrow? While I'm gone make sure you protect my brother from those bastards." Qingyuan said seriously.

"You underestimate your brother. He doesn't need me to protect him. You've never seen him go berserk so you don't know how dangerous he is." Qianfan explained. Qingyuan frowned in disbelief. "Maybe you'll see him in the future." Qianfan said teasingly.

When Minzhe was ready, the two left. Feng Ning, Xingrui and Ruiwen came. The four of them had dinner together after that they shared what happened and solved the problems that the other party had created for them.

@balkon

Xingrui and Ruiwen had gone home earlier. Qingyuan stared at the starless sky in silence. Feng Ning draped his jacket over Qingyuan's shoulders. "Ning ge, I wonder if all of this never happened. Could my brother not have been hurt?" Qingyuan asked.

"I don't know but I believe that you are not someone who gives up easily. I just hope you can live happily from now on." Feng Ning explained. "Happy?" Qingyuan muttered flatly.

'When you are betrayed by everyone you trust and harmed until you lose everything that until the end of your life. Your name becomes a dirty and disgusting name for everyone. Then the word happy will not be in the dictionary of life anymore.' thought Qingyuan silently.

Meanwhile at the Jiang residence. Minzhe, Qianfan, Jiang Ling and Mu Lian finished dinner and discussed the antivirus made by Qingyuan. "Are you sure this antivirus is good?" Jiang Ling asked seriously.

"I've checked it and there's no problem." Minzhe said confidently. "I heard your brother wasn't very nice to you. Are you sure he won't harm you?" Mu Lian asked worriedly. "He won't. I feel like our bad relationship was due to lack of communication and misunderstanding. It's over now." Minzhe smiled clearly.

Jiang Ling and Mu Lian smiled seeing Minzhe's smile. "Then I'll use this antivirus. What's it called?" Jiang Ling asked. "I don't know yet." Minzhe said embarrassedly. "He was too happy that he forgot to ask." Qianfan said teasingly to Minzhe.

#the next day

---Light Area---

@Qingyuan and Feng Ning's apartment

Qingyuan got up and put two pairs of clothes and two pairs of pajamas into his bag. "Do you have to go already?" Feng Ning asked not too happy. "I'm not going. Do you want to replace me?" Qingyuan asked teasingly.

"That's okay." Feng Ning said smiling sweetly. Feng Ning made Qingyuan pout. Feng Ning patted Qingyuan's head lightly. "I'll take you." Qianfan said as he went inside. "Did my brother tell you to?" Qingyuan asked in confusion.

"Yes, he's waiting in the car." Qianfan said casually. "Didn't my brother come home last night?" Qingyuan asked suspiciously. "My mother asked him to try on all the clothes she bought and you also got a share because your brother said you burned all your clothes. So my mother was very enthusiastic about choosing clothes for you, especially since you're going to a survival program." Qianfan explained at length.

Qingyuan returned his bag to the room before leaving. "Do you trust my mother's taste that much?" Qianfan asked confusedly. "Your mother is a designer. If her fashion sense is bad, her brand won't be famous." Qingyuan said flatly. Qingyuan approached Feng Ning and kissed his cheek. "I'll go first." Qingyuan said before leaving. Qianfan stared at Qingyuan in disbelief. Feng Ning just smiled sweetly. 'My little brother is back.' Feng Ning thought.

@car

The journey was very quiet without anyone talking. Qingyuan looked at Minzhe smilingly when Minzhe pointed to a suitcase of clothes next to Qingyuan's seat.

"I don't know if you'll like the clothes." Minzhe said awkwardly. "Whatever you choose, I'll wear it." Clearly, Qingyuan smiled. "What's the name of your antivirus?" Minzhe asked suddenly.

"Minqing Antivirus" said Qingyuan smiling. "Good name. I will take care of the company registration process. It will probably be finished before you come back." Qianfan said casually. "Thank you." Qingyuan said calmly. "But I don't believe that you will change quickly. So I will keep an eye on you." Qianfan said warningly to Qingyuan. "It's up to you." Qingyuan said.

When they arrived, Qingyuan got out of the car and carried the suitcase that Minzhe had prepared. Qingyuan opened the passenger door where Minzhe was sitting. "What's wrong?" Minzhe asked in surprise. Qingyuan kissed Minzhe's cheek before running away.

"Zhang Qingyuan, I will kill you!" Qianfan shouted angrily. Minzhe held his cheek in shock. "My brother is back." Minzhe said moved. Qianfan looked at Minzhe in confusion.

---audition room---

Everyone showed their talents from singing, dancing, playing musical instruments to acting. Hong Meilan showed her dancing skills while Liu Bingwen sang. When Qingyuan arrived, Qingyuan was silent.

"Show your talent." Judge Qiu said getting annoyed. "I don't have one." Qingyuan said flatly. Lanying tried to smile but his eyes showed great anger. A punch was aimed at Qingyuan and was successfully blocked by Qingyuan. The audition room became a battle arena.

The young man successfully blocked Qingyuan's last attack. "Who are you?" Qingyuan asked coldly. A murderous aura was felt in the audition room. "I told you he had a hidden talent. Look at him acting well." The young man said. "Ouyang Lian, how dare you be late!" Lanying said angrily.

"I was just bored and didn't want to go out but this young man has talent but doesn't want to show it so I have to help him." Ouyang Lian said releasing his grip on Qingyuan. All the judges nodded in agreement. The fighting movements looked like action movements in dramas. Not everyone can do it except professionals.

Qingyuan controlled his emotions. That way, 50 participants passed including Qingyuan. "Brother, where did you go? I've been looking for you everywhere. I'm so worried." Hong Meilan said approaching Qingyuan. Qingyuan gave Meilan a disgusted look. "What's wrong with you, brother?" Meilan said trying to hug Qingyuan. Qingyuan stepped back quickly and bumped into someone.

Ouyang Lian held Qingyuan's waist so that he wouldn't fall. "Little brother, you have to be careful." Ouyang Lian said smilingly looking at Qingyuan. Qingyuan pulled Ouyang Lian's hand to follow him.

@Emergency Stairs

"Young master Shangguan Ruo Xuan, what do you want?" Qingyuan asked coldly. "You." Ouyang Lian said smilingly. Qingyuan's face worsened because of Ouyang Lian's words.
