The unscrupulous system forced me to frantically test the small black room

Seven days passed quickly, and several people received the school opening notices one after another, and one by one they became depressed.

After packing up my things, I boarded the yacht, but I no longer had the same enthusiasm as when I came here.

It started to drizzle just over an hour after the yacht was launched. Zhang Miaoyu and several other girls put down their fishing rods, laughed and ran under the shelter, calling for others to come in and take shelter from the rain.

The rain gradually got heavier, the waves surged, the yacht was slightly bumpy, and the rain fell on my face and it was a little painful.

The waves brought schools of fish towards the yacht, and many of them jumped onto the yacht, struggling and wagging their tails.

Lang Bushin happily jumped over to pick up the fish, swinging his hands like a monkey. While doing so, he was slapped twice by the fish's tail.

Zhang Miaoyu was browsing on her phone and was stunned for a moment when she glanced at the headlines.

The words "Xu's bankruptcy" left Zhang Miaoyu unable to react for a moment. Which Xu's?

It was not until he finished reading the content of the post that Zhang Miaoyu confirmed that it was really the Xu from Xu Yanze's family.

Not only did the company go bankrupt, Xu Yanze's father also faced imprisonment.

Jin Suwen saw that Zhang Miaoyu, who was just cheerful with her, suddenly changed her expression. She leaned over with some confusion and saw the bright yellow words on the phone screen.

"Which Xu?" Jin Suwen was stunned.

Zhang Miaoyu's eyes were full of worry, and her gaze fell on Xu Yanze who was looking into the distance in the corner.

When Jin Suwen saw Zhang Miaoyu's reaction, she understood what was going on. She felt relieved and took out her cell phone to search for keywords.

Zhang Miaoyu hesitated for a long time before standing up, holding her cell phone and walking to Tao Zhi, who was squatting in front of a bucket with Lang Bushin teasing an octopus.

"Brother." Zhang Miaoyu shouted.

"Ah?" Tao Zhi looked up when he heard the voice.

Zhang Miaoyu frowned and handed the phone to Tao Zhi. Tao Zhi took it doubtfully, glanced at the contents on the phone, and immediately stood up.

Xu's bankruptcy? What does Xu's bankruptcy mean?

Such a big company was fine last week, how could it just disappear like that?

Looking at this speed, it seems like the kind of plot where a big character in a novel says "The weather is cold, it's time to let XX go bankrupt."

Does Xu Yanze know about this? Tao Zhi couldn't help but worry.

Should I tell him about this now and tell him about my mental preparation?

Otherwise, when you get off the yacht later and go home, you will find that your home is gone. Don’t be so anxious that you will have a seizure on the spot.

While Tao Zhi was struggling with this, Lang Bushin was still walking back and forth in the rain to pick up fish, and from time to time he let out a monkey-like laugh.

Tao Zhi had a worried look on his face. He wanted to go to Xu Yanze several times, but he didn't know how to start the conversation. After all, such a big thing had happened in his family, and he really didn't know how to phrase it tactfully.

Seeing that the yacht would soon dock, Tao Zhi walked towards Xu Yanze in front of the railing.

The sun has set and the wind and waves have died down after the rain. The sky is filled with brilliant colorful clouds, stretching as far as the eye can see, and their reflections on the blue sea complement each other.

Xu Yanze just quietly held the railing, looked up into the distance, and the colorful clouds fell into his eyes.

Tao Zhi stood next to Xu Yanze, opened his mouth several times but couldn't say anything, and scratched his head in frustration.

"Do you have anything to say to me?" Xu Yanze asked.

Xu Yanze shifted his gaze from Caixia to Tao Zhi, and a ripple appeared in his eyes.

Tao Zhi suddenly became more nervous after hearing this.

"Xu Yanze, I want to tell you something, please be mentally prepared." Tao Zhi said.

"Are you referring to the fact that Xu's company went bankrupt?" Xu Yanze replied indifferently.

Tao Zhi and his companions could not hide their true feelings and they gathered together with sad faces. Naturally, Xu Yanze had noticed it a long time ago.

"You know?" Tao Zhi looked surprised.

Tao Zhi suddenly realized that Xu Yanze had been looking at the sea in front of the railing of the yacht for a long time. Could he be thinking of jumping down?

No wonder he was so calm, it turned out he had already made up his mind to die.

Tao Zhi rushed forward, grabbed Xu Yanze's arm and pulled him back with force. Xu Yanze didn't have time to react and was almost thrown into Tao Zhi's arms.

But just before the collision, Xu Yanze controlled his body.

There was a hint of surprise in Xu Yanze's eyes. He lowered his head and looked at Tao Zhi who was holding him tightly with a worried look in his eyes.

"Don't get excited. Take a deep breath. There's nothing you can't overcome."

"You will definitely be able to make a comeback with your ability. The current failure is nothing. Don't think too much about it." Tao Zhi said anxiously.

Xu Yanze remained silent, with a dark look in his eyes. He pulled his hand away, but Tao Zhi pulled it even tighter.

Tao Zhi even used his second hand to directly wrap his arms around Xu Yanze's wrist, as if he was ready to engage in tug-of-war at any time.

When Tao Zhi saw Xu Yanze didn't say anything, he became even more flustered. He turned around and opened his mouth to shout at the group of people hiding behind and watching.

Xu Yanze spoke upon seeing this.

"Tao Zhi."

"I don't plan to jump into the sea." Xu Yanze said.

Tao Zhi was stunned for a moment, tilting his head and unable to understand.

"Can you let me go now?" Xu Yanze said with his eyes lowered, and no emotion could be heard.

Did I misunderstand? Tao Zhi was puzzled.

Tao Zhi hesitated to let go of his hands, but then he thought that maybe this was Xu Yanze's delaying tactic, so he immediately grabbed his hands back, using a lot of strength, and the veins on his arms bulged.

"Are you worried about me?" Xu Yanze asked gently.

Tao Zhi looked up and met the unknown look in Xu Yanze's eyes, and was stunned for a moment.

"Is it because of guilt? Or sympathy?" Xu Yanze asked.

Tao Zhi didn't know what to say for a moment, and he opened his mouth twice but couldn't come up with a word.

At this time, Xu Yanze's wrist was exposed because of Tao Zhi's action, and Tao Zhi's fingers were gripping Xu Yanze's criss-crossing scars that were glaring.

"If it's out of guilt or sympathy..."

Before Xu Yanze could finish his words, he was interrupted by Tao Zhi. Tao Zhi organized his words and looked directly at Xu Yanze in front of him.

"Because we are friends, it's reasonable for a friend to care about you in this situation, right?"

"The most important thing is that I really don't want to have a friend who becomes a giant." Tao Zhi said.

Xu Yanze's heart was suddenly filled with waves and ripples began to rise.

Behind him, fish jumped up from the ocean, swinging their tails lightly and nimbly, creating ripples on the surface of the sea and breaking the colorful picture painted by the sky and the ocean.

Xu Yanze's eyes fell on Tao Zhi's hand holding his wrist, his Adam's apple rose and fell, and he spoke.

"Let go, I won't commit suicide."

"Really?" Tao Zhi was suspicious.

Xu Yanze felt helpless when he saw Tao Zhi still refused to let go.

"I don't care about the life or death of the Xu family. Whether it goes bankrupt or not has nothing to do with me." Xu Yanze explained.

Tao Zhi pondered over what he said. It seemed that Xu Yanze had said something similar before, saying that he didn't care about the Xu family.

But is there really anyone who doesn’t care about the situation at home at all?

Tao Zhi almost subconsciously wanted to ask, "Then what do you care about?"

But when Tao Zhi realized that Xu Yanze's gaze on him was deep and unconcealed, he chose to shut his mouth.

Can't ask, not even a single question.

I'm not being narcissistic. Ever since I discovered the love in Gong Cheng's eyes was so obvious, I now know exactly how anyone looks at them. Tao Zhi was already sweating profusely because of Xu Yanze's staring at him.

Although Xu Yanze had no expression on his face, Tao Zhi intuitively felt that as long as he dared to ask, he would dare to say "It's you I care about."

“If you keep pulling, your girlfriend will get jealous.” Xu Yanze lowered his eyelashes, hiding his expression.

Tao Zhi turned his head to look at the group of people hiding in the corner behind him, and saw Gong Cheng among them, whose expression was calm.

Xu Yanze stretched out his other hand, covered Tao Zhi's hand, and gently pushed it away.

Tao Zhi felt the coolness of Xu Yanze's fingertips and let go of his hand with some embarrassment, but he kept his eyes on Xu Yanze to prevent him from jumping down suddenly.

"You've changed a lot." Xu Yanze's throat became dry.

Xu Yanze lowered his head and looked at the face in front of him that had appeared countless times in his dreams and illusions. The originally clear and ferocious features had faded away at some point.

The one-eyed man saw the outline of the person and couldn't help but want to depict it with his own sight.

Tao Zhi panicked when he heard that. Could it be that his OOC Tao Zhi's character was too obvious and the character discovered the problem?

"I've grown up. Everyone changes when they grow up. I also realized that I was indeed ignorant in the past and did some wrong things. I have let you down in many ways." Tao Zhi laughed.

"Tao Zhi, I was the one who was wrong from the beginning to the end, not you."

"I was too self-righteous and walked towards you without thinking. It's only natural that you would dislike me and push me away."

Countless times when I was sick, I prayed to your phantom that you would hold my hand, but I never got my wish.

Now you take the initiative to hold me.

"I have never hated you, and you don't need to feel guilty or sympathetic towards me now."

What I need is never your guilt or sympathy.

"Everything that happened back then was my own fault. I have only been trapped by my own obsession over the years."

After returning to China, I tried to control my emotions so as not to be bothered by you. However, every time we met by chance, you were the only one I could not help but look at.

"I'm very happy to have fun with you guys these days."

"Now I realize that my gaze is not limited to you, Tao Zhi. Just like today's sunset, it is very nice."

"What do you think?" Xu Yanze asked gently.

Oh, this means she has let go of Tao Zhi, the scumbag, and is ready to look forward to the future. This young man is teachable, and this is cause for celebration. Tao Zhi was secretly delighted.

Following Xu Yanze's words, Tao Zhi looked up and saw the scene in the distance where the sky and the sea were connected.

The rays of light poured down, dyeing the sky wantonly, dyeing the sea red and sparkling, stretching as far as the eye can see, the waves are surging, and the waves rolling up when they rise and fall are flashing with golden light. Seabirds fly through the sky in the rays of light, and sometimes they cry.

Tao Zhi's face was also stained with a soft halo by the gentle glow.

"It's really beautiful." Tao Zhi couldn't help but smile at the scene in front of him.

Xu Yanze lowered his eyes and looked at Tao Zhi, who was grinning happily with his head tilted back beside him. His expression revealed a gentleness that Tao Zhi had never seen before.

Xu Yanze suppressed the growing love in his heart into a corner and just looked at the person in front of him quietly.

I am already grateful that we are friends, how can I dare to ask for a corner of your heart?
