Xu Yanze was silent for a while, then took the initiative to speak.

"I've read your profile. You were poor and your mother was seriously ill. You had to serve wine in a club and met the scumbag Tao Zhi."

"You started out for the deal, right?"

"Are you with him for the money?"

"No, to be precise, it's not about being together, but about keeping someone."

"Your relationship isn't equal, is it?"

Xu Yanze's voice didn't fluctuate much, as if he wasn't too interested in this topic.

Gong Cheng gritted his teeth, with a hint of anger in his eyes, but more of it was the embarrassment of being exposed for being "kept".

If possible, I would like to be able to stand beside my husband as an equal, rather than snuggling in his arms as a humble kept lover.

"I will try my best to get rid of this relationship of being kept." Gong Cheng said.

Xu Yanze became interested.

"Oh? It seems that you are not very happy to be supported by Tao Zhi. To be more precise, you don't even seem to be gay."

"I have checked Tao Zhi's previous love history, and there are many cases where he used dirty tricks to get those women."

"What about you? Could it be that you are also threatened because Tao Zhi used some dirty tricks?" Xu Yanze asked.

Gong Cheng lowered his eyes and thought about the wording of his reply.

"Tao Zhi hurt you, why are you still protecting him?" Xu Yanze narrowed his eyes.

Gong Cheng's heart tightened, but he was extremely calm.

"I like you, sir." Gong Cheng replied after thinking about his words for a long time.

Xu Yanze was stunned, and the emotion that flashed across his eyes was unclear.

"He's just playing with you." Xu Yanze said.

"Sir likes me too." Gong Cheng said.

Xu Yanze was silent for a few breaths.

"Are you showing off to me now?" Xu Yanze said.

"Yes." Gong Cheng replied.

Xu Yanze stared in a daze at the young boy surrounded by yellow mud in front of him.

Clearly he had nothing, and clearly he had the support of an unreliable and rotten person like Tao Zhi, yet at this moment he could so confidently assert his sovereignty.

Some are clumsy and even conceited, but so determined.

So determined that Xu Yanze felt envious.

Tao Zhi must have shown him so much love that he had the confidence to say these words to himself.

The two fell silent again, and no one spoke for a long time, and several hours passed.

The sun rose in the afternoon and the temperature gradually increased, but there was no shade around. Sweat dripped from Gong Cheng's forehead. He put his hands on his head to try to avoid the sun's rays on his face, but it was obviously to no avail.

Xu Yanze's condition was much worse. His lips were pale and the wound on his right hand was still bleeding. Although the sun was shining brightly, Xu Yanze felt cold all over, his vision gradually blurred, and his throat was unbearably dry.

Xu Yanze could hardly keep his balance. He supported himself on the slope with his right hand to maintain his sitting position. The sounds he could hear became increasingly blurred.

"How are you, hey."

Gong Cheng, who discovered that something was wrong with Xu Yanze, staggered over and put a hand on Xu Yanze's shoulder to shake him. Only then did Xu Yanze regain a bit of clarity from his shattered mind.

Gong Cheng looked carefully and found that blood was flowing into the muddy water along Xu Yanze's fingers as he supported himself on the slope.

Gong Cheng's heart tightened, and he used his hands to pull open the cut on Xu Yanze's clothes, and saw clearly the whole hideous wound covered with yellow mud.

"You are injured so badly!" Gong Cheng frowned.

Gong Cheng immediately bit his shirt sleeve, made a hole and tore off the sleeve, then he tore off the other sleeve in the same way.

Gong Cheng reached out to grab Xu Yanze's arm, but Xu Yanze pushed it away weakly.

"No need." Xu Yanze's voice was hoarse.

"We don't know when others will find us. You are seriously injured."

"You were injured while saving me. I can't just stand there and watch you like this." Gong Cheng said.

Gong Cheng took off Xu Yanze's coat and threw it aside, then sat next to Xu Yanze.

He reached out and grabbed Xu Yanze's arm and put it on his shoulder, tearing the hole in Xu Yanze's clothes even bigger, and used his sleeve to wrap around Xu Yanze's wound.

When the wound was almost treated, Gong Cheng looked up at Xu Yanze. Xu Yanze's lips had lost their color, and his eyes were dull and lifeless, as if he was about to faint at any moment.

Xu Yanze tried hard to stay awake, but his eyelids couldn't help drooping.

Xu Yanze could no longer keep his balance and fell towards Gong Cheng. Gong Cheng hurriedly supported him, and Xu Yanze half leaned into Gong Cheng's arms.

However, due to the height issue, the tall Xu Yanze leaned on Gong Cheng, making Gong Cheng a little at a loss for a moment, but in order to prevent Xu Yanze from falling, he had to hold Xu Yanze's arm with both hands.

"Hey, don't sleep. Someone will come to rescue us soon." Gong Cheng felt a little anxious.

"I'm fine. I won't die."

Xu Yanze spoke weakly and struggled to sit up from Gong Cheng's arms.

Gong Cheng held his shoulders and frowned.

"Don't be so stubborn."

Gong Cheng picked up Xu Yanze's coat with his hands, steadying Xu Yanze's body with some difficulty, and then covered himself and Xu Yanze's head with the coat to block the sun.

Tao Zhi waited for a long time at the original afternoon activity location but no students came. He randomly grabbed someone on the street to ask and found out that today's activity was delayed.

The strange thing is that the message about the event delay was not sent by Xu Yanze, but by a girl named Su Lingling.

Tao Zhi knew this girl, the one who was crying at the melon-eating scene yesterday.

Tao Zhi walked back in confusion, but saw the girl named Su Lingling crying and talking to the front desk in the lobby.

"Student Gong and Teacher Xu must have gotten into trouble. Please ask our staff to go to the back mountain to look for them." Su Lingling cried.

"It rained last night, and the back hill is all muddy and slippery. We've already called two employees over. We'll go over after they go back and change their clothes and shoes," said the receptionist.

"They've been gone for several hours and I can't get in touch with them. I came to find you over an hour ago to look for them, but you haven't left yet." Su Lingling was so anxious that she almost jumped up.

“There’s nothing dangerous in this back mountain. There are just some recreational facilities. If you slip on the road, you’ll just fall at most. There’s no need to worry about them.” The receptionist said helplessly.

Tao Zhi walked forward puzzled.

"Who did you just say went to the back mountain with whom?" Tao Zhi asked.

Seeing that the person coming was also wearing a staff uniform, Su Lingling tried every possible means and grabbed Tao Zhi's sleeve.

"My friend was tricked into going to the back hills, and Teacher Xu went to look for him, but he hadn't come back for hours, and I couldn't get in touch with him."

"If you don't set out to look for them, I will have no choice but to call the police. It was Teacher Xu who told me not to call the police first, so I have been putting it off until now, but you haven't done anything at all." Su Lingling's face was filled with tears.

"What's your classmate's name?" Tao Zhi asked.

"Gong Cheng." Su Lingling said in a crying voice.

Upon hearing this, Tao Zhi rushed out of the hall and headed straight towards the back mountain.

He shouted "fanfan" while running.

"Fanfan, is the plot about the mountain behind the villa recorded in the original text?" Tao Zhi asked.

"It's an important plot in the original text."

"The protagonist was tricked by cannon fodder and fell into the soft mud slide project on the back mountain of Rongquan Villa. The second male lead Xu Yanze went to rescue him and fell into the pit with the protagonist and was trapped."

"It was during this part of the plot that the second male lead learned that the protagonist, the bottom, was not willingly kept by the scumbag Tao Zhi, but was threatened by him, so the second male lead Xu Yanze began to feel pity for him."

"Then the second male lead Xu Yanze starts to take better care of the protagonist Gong Cheng. He develops a secret crush on her and their feelings gradually heat up," Fanfan said.

Tao Zhi stopped when he heard this.

Oh, this means this is a serious plot development.

They might have developed some feelings for each other during this plot, which also cleared up the previous misunderstanding. Wouldn't it be a waste of time if I ran over there?

Tao Zhi became relaxed and simply went to the counter next to him to buy a bottle of Coke.

"Fanfan, when will the others discover them? How will the plot develop later?" Tao Zhi asked curiously.

"No one found the two the whole night. It rained heavily at night. The second male lead Xu Yanze lost too much blood and had a high fever. The protagonist held the second male lead and used his body to keep him warm all night."

"The next day, someone called the police and they came with an ambulance, and the two were saved."

"The second male lead, Xu Yanze, was rescued due to excessive blood loss and wound infection, and the protagonist, Gong Cheng, also had a fever and fell into a coma."

Fanfan wanted to say more, but Tao Zhi couldn't listen anymore. He threw away the Coke and ran towards the back mountain.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that someone was injured?"

"Why are you trying to warm up your relationship when you're already dying from blood loss?"

"Life or love?"

Although it is the original plot, several hours have passed after all, and Xu Yanze should have known most of the tragic information about Gong Cheng.

The compassion that should be felt should also be felt.

At this point, perhaps the two of them have already completed the process of hugging each other and complaining about the evil deeds that this scumbag has done.

All those subsequent plots such as excessive blood loss, heavy rain, high fever, and rescue were really unnecessary.

Tao Zhiqiang endured the bloating in his lungs caused by running, ignored the mud on the road, and ran forward following the footprints on the road.
