Zhang Huaite knew that Ouyang Zixuan was Chen Xingyu’s best friend in S City, but he never knew that Ouyang Zixuan actually had such feelings for Chen Xingyu. Obviously he is the one who grew up with Chen Xingyu, how could someone take his place?
“Zhang Huaite, even if you’re a scum, you have to have a limit. Since you don’t like Xingyu, why are you here? Xingyu’s affairs are my affairs, why can’t I care?”
Seeing Chen Xingyu stand motionlessly behind Ouyang Zixuan, without even looking at him, Zhang Huaite’s heart suddenly turned cold.
“Who are you? Is Chen Xingyu’s business your business? Oh, you’ve known him longer than me?” Zhang Huaite looked at Ouyang Zixuan contemptuously, and spat out vicious words.
“You know, the person Chen Xingyu likes is me. He won’t give you a second look. Don’t feign sentimentality here.”
“You—” Ouyang Zixuan flushed with anger at his words, his veins pulsing.
“I liked you, but that’s in the past.” Suddenly, Chen Xingyu said coldly.
Zhang Huaite was shocked. His whole body fell into an ice cellar, as he stared at him in disbelief.
Ouyang Zixuan became complacent. “Zhang Huaite, don’t you understand people speak? He said he doesn’t like you, can you get out of my way—”
Before Ouyang Zixuan could finish his words, Zhang Huaite punched him in the face.
“So… you guys started fighting, my god, nothing happened, right?”
“It’s nothing, it’s just some skin injuries.”
Thinking of being ignored by Chen Xingyu in the police station, and him helping Ouyang Zixuan wipe his wound, Zhang Huaite’s heart throbbed for a while.
He realized that his special trip to S City to see Chen Xingyu was self-humiliating. After leaving the police station, he bought the fastest ticket back, and returned to Wancheng.
With such a ghostly look on his face, it is naturally impossible to go home. The place he rented was long rented out to open the dessert shop. He had nowhere to go, and could only come to Wen Yuan.
Hearing his words, Wen Yuan’s face flashed with a multitude of emotions. Surprise, shock, regret, and so on. He looked at Zhang Huaite’s face for a while, and then tentatively asked, “Huaite, why did you want to punch Ouyang Zixuan?”
“I just can’t get used to his scummy deceptive gentleman-like appearance.”
Wen Yuan smiled and continued, “But Ouyang Zixuan is not with Chen Xingyu, so why are you so angry?”
There was a strange light in his black eyes. Zhang Huaite wanted to say something, but in the end he just took a sip of wine slowly.
Wen Yuan finally gave him a final blow. “Huaite, did you fall in love with Chen Xingyu?”
This time, Zhang Huaite didn’t deny it. His eyes were a little red. After drinking the last bit of red wine in the bottle, he collapsed on the sofa.
Wen Yuan looked at his face full of bruises, unable to beat it, so he decided to take the medicine box to help him deal with it.
As soon as he opened the medicine box and took out the cotton swab, Qi Jinran came back.
When he saw Zhang Huaite sleeping in the living room, his handsome brows wrinkled. “Why did this guy come here?”
Wen Yuan briefly told him what happened just now.
“Deserved it.” Qi Jinran snorted coldly and snatched the cotton swab from Wen Yuan’s hand.
“You go to the bath, I’ll wipe it for him.”
“Then remember to be gentle.” Wen Yuan was a little worried when he saw the man gnashing his teeth.
“Don’t worry, I’ll do it lightly.”
Qi Jinran curled the corners of his mouth coldly. When Wen Yuan went to the bedroom, he directly pressed the cotton swab dipped in medicine on Zhang Huaite’s face.
Zhang Huaite was so drunk that he cried out in pain unconsciously, and soon fell asleep again.
Wen Yuan came out of the shower and found that Zhang Huaite’s face was treated, and Qi Jinran was sitting on the sofa watching the news. Seeing him come out, he raised his eyebrows slightly. “Is this guy staying here?”
“Huaite said it’s not convenient to go home, and asked us to take him in for one night.”
“No, I don’t accept alcoholics here.”
Wen Yuan knew that Qi Jinran was angry. He leaned over, grabbed his arm, and shook it coquettishly, looking at him with moist, dark eyes.
“Let’s help Huaite. Huaite has come to his senses now. He fought today for Chen Xingyu’s sake. I think the two of them can still be saved. Don’t give up on him so soon, okay?”
“His falling to this point is his own doing.” Qi Jinran glanced at the person on the ground and made a neat evaluation.
“He can only sleep in the guest room. I’ll let the housekeeper come in to deal with it, it’s not your business” He finally compromised.
“Okay, okay, I won’t care.” Seeing the housekeeper helping Zhang Huaite to the room, Wen Yuan felt relieved. After thinking about it, he sent Chen Xingyu a text message.
—Huaite drank a lot today at my place. I asked the housekeeper to take care of him, you don’t have to worry.
He knew that even if Chen Xingyu pretended to ignore Zhang Huaite on the surface, he still cared about him in his heart.
Sure enough, he responded quickly.
—Sorry to trouble you.
After reading the text message, Wen Yuan let out a long sigh and put the phone down. He took out his laptop and wanted to study how to make a food video. After a few minutes, Qi Jinran came out of the bathroom.
The man closes the laptop on his lap and put it aside.
“What electronics are you watching so late? Go to bed.”
“I’ll just watch a few more minutes. I want to learn how to make videos.” Wen Yuan wanted to retrieve the laptop, but Qi Jinran grabbed his arm and pressed him on the bed .
Qi Jinran’s black hair was still full of moisture, and his handsome face drew close.
Wen Yuan has been busy with his graduation thesis and the dessert shop these past few days, and the two of them haven’t been close. His heart was also a little seeing Qi Jinran’s appearance.
“What did you do wrong today? Do you know?” Qi Jinran grabbed his arm and pressed it on the bed, covering him with his body.
“I should have told you in advance, before I brought Zhang Huaite home.” Wen Yuan honestly admitted his mistake.
The man snorted coldly, his eyes darkened.
“It’s not just this, you are not allowed to drink with other men in the future.”
“I didn’t drink, I just watched Huaite drink. He’s in a bad mood. If he wants to vent, it’s okay.”
“It’s okay to watch others drink. You know that Zhang Huaite towards you—” The man paused and didn’t say anything, but his jaw was clenched.
Wen Yuan knew what he was thinking. His eyebrows curved, and he couldn’t help smoothing his hair.
“Husband, don’t be angry, Huaite may have liked me before, but the person he likes now is Chen Xingyu. You really don’t have to worry.”
Afraid that Qi Jinran would keep sulking, he took the initiative to wrap his arms around his neck, and kissed the corner of his mouth hard.
“What posture do you want to use today… I promise you everything, okay?
Qi Jinran’s throat moved, and he felt a little thirsty.
“That’s what you said.”
He put his hand on Wen Yuan’s neck, stroking the thin column and adam’s apple.
“Well, I promise to do what I say.” Wen Yuan looked at him with fiery eyes.
The tinders in Qi Jinran’s chest ignited, heat spreading to his limbs, and even his nerve endings tingled with excitement.
He tore off the buttons of Wen Yuan’s pajamas in two or three strokes and pressed him on the bed.
“Wait, your hair isn’t dry yet.”
Seeing that Wen Yuan was about to sit up, Qi Jinran pressed his head down impatiently. “Don’t worry, we’re going to sweat anyway.”
Warm lips were pressed against him, the man’s familiar breath enveloped him. Wen Yuan kissed him back enthusiastically, his vision gradually blurred.
As expected, Qi Jinran did what he said. He didn’t even take off the prosthesis, and tossed him in many different ways overnight.
In the second half of the night, Wen Yuan was so tired that he fell asleep, groggy, his body empty, and was carried into the bathroom. Qi Jinran patiently helped him wash his body and changed into new pajamas before carrying him to the bed. As soon as Wen Yuan was put down, he subconsciously hugged his arm and didn’t let him go.
Qi Jinran reluctantly and dotingly touched his hair, followed by covering him in the quilt and hugging Wen Yuan tightly.

Iamakoifish On ABBWW Chapter 54
Ok, CXY, you acted like a dck… I know that ZHT rejected you in the first reflex, but you seriously jumped suddenly with confession, so he could be shocked. But now… How childlish=.=
Thank You for the new chapter (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡
CX doesn’t deserve an easy love with that type of behavior. Instead of cultivating love slowly and gradually to be accepted, push and pull is your strategy and humiliating your love? Nope. ZH could find someone else that doesn’t sacrifice his face for their own self satisfaction.
Controversial comment here!
I actually think CX didn’t really do anything wrong here. He’s been in love with ZHT for many years and been rejected many times as both a friend and a lover. I can’t fault him for trying to move on. Then the guy who acts like he couldn’t care less about him comes to his friend and punches him in the face? Insulting his friend and then him by utilising his feelings as some kind of leverage?
We as viewers can understand that ZHT is doing this bec he has feelings for CX, but if we didn’t know that it comes across as shallow. Plus, I see nowhere in that exchange was a physical fight justified.
Of course you are free to disagree, but if you do please don’t insult me over it.
I halfly disagree because in my opinion and as you said, CX waited for years for ZHT love, so why not waited for a few more weeks/day for his confession to sink in? Because for me, CX seemed to abruptly assume that his chance with ZHT is gone because ZHT (supposedly) likes WY
And letting your potential love interest(not to mention a person who you had a crush on for years) got humiliated in front of you yet you do nothing but look, seems quite like a jerk, and not like a chance to move on.
This is my opinion feel free to say otherwise tho
He’s been rejected just this one time as a lover, obviously ZHT has never heard anything about it before if u go and reread the confession scene. So, spend so long acting as friends, the moment the confession doesn’t go well he’s like “ok time to treat the person i supposedly love like shit bc he’s emotionally confused”? Sorry, zero sympathy for CX here, especially bc he seems to want ZHT to think about his feelings but he has never once thought about ZHT’s feelings being in his shadow (from ZHT’s perspective) all this time. It’s no wonder ZHT is so confused!
It’s not his feelings that’s at fault, but his attitude and choices.
Did he ever think about ZH’s feelings at all? Had he really ever thought about the reason why ZH avoided him so much? Had he ever truly given ZH to speak about his feelings properly? No.
He had pushed his feelings into ZH for so many years without a proper explanation that it backfired so badly on their relationship, and now after one(1) failed confession he suddenly acted like they’d broken all relationships with ZH as though they’re strangers. Remember the contrast against ZH, who still took care of him when he was still supposedly hating CX, just bc ZH thought they were still childhood friends.
Before confessing, he suffocated ZH with his poorly shown affection, and after confessing, he just cut ZH off without giving any room for ZH to even process it.
He’s too self-absorbed in his own feelings that he couldn’t give ZH any room to breathe.
He’s really shitty to ZH in my opinion. AND HE DIDN’T EVEN REALIZE ANY OF THAT. God.
Hmm, CX seems to be jumping to his own conclusions instead of waiting ZHT for his answers. Seeing ZHT reaction, i really think he didn’t know that CX liked him for so long and that idea seems so far-fetched and we all can see how clueless he is unless you said it to his face.
+ How hurt must it feels like to confirm(½) of your feeling towards your confesser only to find that he has turn his back on you and let you get humiliated in front of your supposedly love rival.
So yeah, might be bias, but i really think CX is at fault here, you’ve waited for years for that love, couldn’t you wait a few weeks for your confession to sink in??
Are all the gongs manchildren here? Seriously.
I can’t sympathize with CX at all. It’s one thing to move on, but it’s another thing to just watch your longtime friend being humiliated in front of you and blatanly side with the person who insulted him. He just looked like a child sulking bc he was rejected by someone and suddenly they’re ‘not friends anymore’.
He had loved ZH for years, yeah, but so what?? Have he ever REALLY tried to see and listen to ZH’s feelings??? He hadn’t, I’m sure. If he had, he would know where ZH’s aversion towards him came from, and might’ve even had a wayyy better idea to pursue ZH by now. He was just too self absorbed in his own feelings that he forgot to consider ZH’s feelings.
As for ZH, although I don’t approve his impulsive decision, I could understand. But still, it’s way too abrupt and defeated his own character setting. He’s jealous, yeah, but would he be that impulsive after years of ignoring and despising CX just because he heard CX was with another man once (1)? Maybe author just wanted to write cliches 💀🤌
I also don’t like how ZH is desribed to ‘come to his own senses’. As if his previous feelings were irrational and wrong. Falling in love doesn’t invalidate one’s pain. Love isn’t a magical cure for everything. I would be very disappointed if after this, they’d undermine ZH’s previous problems.
Tbh, I really don’t like the double standard of someone having to accept a suitor’s feeling just because author hinted them to be The CP. If CX was introduced just as a canon fodder, I bet people would be disgusted at how he persistently chased after ZH even after causing him such a huge psychological wound on him.
Just because someone loved you, you’re not obligated to love them back. No matter how devoted they are to you, they’re not entitled to your love.
But then again, seeing the direction of the plot and this author’s style, I have no hope. Wen Yuan hadn’t even gotten his emotional baggage sorted out and everything’s suddenly fluff and rainbows now bc of ✨Love✨, what hope did ZH have 🙄
And as always, fck u and ur toxic jealousy, Mr. Qi.
