Chapter 95: Leaving
Wen Yuhuai followed him as they ran for a while, his breath uneven, yet he still scolded with a laugh, “You little brat, what are you talking about? What do you mean Iâm yours? I belong to myself”.
Other than himself, no one could define his ownership.
Song Xingmian gripped his hand even tighter, not caring about his words. His eyes were still as bright as the stars in the sky. “Does Gege want to leave with me? So many unpleasant things have happened here. Letâs elope together. Iâll take you away; we can go wherever we want…”
The smile on Wen Yuhuaiâs face faded a bit. Fu Xingjian had spent a fortune to bring him back this time; he didn’t think he could really run away. He had only followed Song Xingmian out of the airport because he didn’t want him to win so easily.
So, hearing Song Xingmian say this, he didn’t refuse outright. Instead, he spoke as if coaxing a child, “Alright then, where are you taking me?”
The two had already run out of the airport hall. Song Xingmian hailed a car at random, and the two of them actually got in.
“Go abroad with me, to Country M. I have a villa there, a very big one. Gege will definitely like it”.
“The scenery there is also very beautiful. We can go surfing together in the summer and skiing together in the winter. We can do whatever we want. Gege, come with me”.
Wen Yuhuai leaned his head back against the car seat to catch his breath. Hearing this, he couldn’t help but laugh. “Haven’t you graduated yet? Are you going to go to school while I stay at your house? Are you going to hide a beauty in a golden house?”
Until now, he still thought Song Xingmian was just saying it for fun. Fu Xingjian wouldn’t give up so easily; how could he allow the prize in his hands to escape right in front of him?
It wasn’t until the taxi had carried the two from East City Airport to the city center that his expression finally changed.
“Are you for real? What about Fu Xingjian?”
Song Xingmian gave a soft hum, sounding a bit proud and self-satisfied. “Of course heâs being tied up by Gu Yanxiu. Besides, Hai City is Lin Shiyuâs territory. Heâs already figured it out by now; can he still be led by the nose by Fu Xingjian? Either way, he definitely won’t be able to take you away today”.
It was only at this moment that Wen Yuhuai belatedly realized that he seemed… truly free?
The scenery outside the window flew by, and there were no cars pursuing them from behind. Wen Yuhuai opened the car window, feeling that even the wind tasted of freedom.
Just then, Song Xingmianâs phone rang. He picked it up; it was Lin Shiyu on the other side.
His tone was urgent, almost impatient as he asked, “Has the person been intercepted?”
Wen Yuhuai stared at the call screen on Song Xingmianâs phone for a few seconds and directly reached out to take it. He held the phone to his lips and said, “Where are you now? Are you still at the International Airport?”
The other side seemed stunned to hear his voice. It took a long time before Lin Shiyu spoke again. “…A-Yu?”
Wen Yuhuai gave a soft “Mm”. “Weâre heading toward the International Airport now. If youâre still there, we can meet once”.
Lin Shiyu keenly caught the other meaning hidden in his words. “Youâre leaving?”
Wen Yuhuai didn’t deny it. “Iâve stayed in Hai City for quite some time. I happen to want to change locations and see more”.
There was another long silence on the other side. Just when Wen Yuhuai thought the call had been disconnected, Lin Shiyu spoke again, sounding as if he knew it was unavoidable and was simply showing weakness to gain sympathy. “Where are you going? Can you tell me?”
Wen Yuhuai: “I haven’t decided yet”.
He wasn’t trying to brush him off. Lin Shiyu had helped him a lot, and just as he said, he didn’t ask for anything in return. He truly appreciated him and truly considered him a friend.
Song Xingmian couldn’t help but chime in from the side, his words carrying a hint of bragging, “Gege said heâs going to Country M with me”.
Lin Shiyuâs tone rose involuntarily. “Youâre going abroad?”
“Are your ID and passport still there? Have they expired?”
That was indeed a problem. Wen Yuhuai hadn’t brought any ID when he came from Jing City to Hai City before the New Year. Until now, he didn’t have any valid documents on him. If he wanted to go abroad, it would be a bit of a hassle for a while.
“I don’t necessarily have to go abroad. I can go anywhere. The world is so big; I want to see it”.
His tone had become relaxed after a long time, and he even had the mood to quote a recent popular phrase.
Lin Shiyu listened quietly without interrupting him. He only said once he had quieted down again, “Can you tell me once youâve decided where to go? I won’t go disturb you; I just want to know where you are. I don’t want to be unable to find you like before”.
Wen Yuhuai didn’t refuse and gave a lazy “Mm”. “Iâll tell you once Iâve decided where to go”.
Not having documents was indeed troublesome. He also hadn’t seen his family in a long time, so he planned to go back to Shenzhen first. After getting all the documents replaced, he would think about where exactly to go.
“As for Fu Xingjianâ”
Lin Shiyu interrupted him, “Don’t worry about Fu Xingjian. I just made a call to Jing City. Although the trouble he caused here isn’t major, itâs still a bit of a hassle to handle. His uncle won’t let him mess around anymore”.
The Fu family lineage were merchants, and their business had already reached the peak. Fu Xingjianâs motherâs side was in politics. His maternal grandfather was a high-ranking official who had only retired a few years ago, and his uncleâs generation was rising steadily with a smooth political career.
The small mistake he committed now wasn’t much, and it could be covered up, but they wouldn’t continue to allow him to let loose like this.
Fu Xingjian also knew this, which was why he pulled this stunt today, ignoring everything else just to get the person in his hands. That way, even if he was punished upon returning to Jing City, his goal would have been achieved.
He just hadn’t expected that Gu Yanxiu and Song Xingmian would suddenly appear as variables, catching him off guard and allowing Wen Yuhuai to escape in the chaos.
While they were talking on the phone, they arrived at the airport. The two got out and walked inside. Lin Shiyu was standing in the waiting hall. Perhaps because the surrounding environment was a bit noisy, he held his phone to his ear, looking no different from the travelers around him.
Wen Yuhuai waved at him. Seeing that he had noticed, he hung up and walked over.
Lin Shiyu looked him up and down, and only after confirming nothing had happened did he finally breathe a sigh of relief. “He didn’t do anything to you, did he?”
Wen Yuhuai shook his head. “What could he do to me? He just wanted to take me back to Jing City, not to completely fall out with me”.
Speaking of this, he curled his lips slightly and gave a soft snort. “But now itâs no different from completely falling out”.
Lin Shiyu also curled his lips, the arc very shallowâso shallow that Wen Yuhuai didn’t even notice.
“Then where do you want to go now that youâre at the airport?”
Wen Yuhuai: “I can’t go abroad, so Iâll go back to Shenzhen first to see my mom and dad. Iâll decide where to go next after I get my documents replaced”.
Lin Shiyuâs gaze fell on Song Xingmian behind him, and his tone was no longer as gentle as he asked impatiently, “Where are you going? Back to Country M? Do you have your documents?”
Song Xingmian reached out to grab one of Wen Yuhuaiâs arms, his gaze toward him full of wariness, like a wolf baring its teeth in a show of force. “Itâs none of your business where I go. Iâm following Gege. Iâll go wherever Gege goes. If Gege goes back to Shenzhen, Iâm going to Shenzhen too”.
