10. Always Causing Trouble (2)
Since Xie He was able to stand up and walk, he recovered at an accelerated pace. Gradually, eating and walking no longer posed much of an issue. At this pace, he fully recover in no time.
【Xie He：Uncle Liang is still as interesting as he had been in the past. I can’t help but admire him for it. I’ve been feeling good. Smile.JPG】
【444：......】
【Xie He：Baby, have you been having fun lately? 】
【444：Yes. \\\\(≧▽≦)/】
The host and system pair spent a blissful life together. The days passed by quickly.
Another month or so passed and Xie He felt like he had more or less fully recovered. Therefore, one day, when Liang Chengshan came home, he happily said to him, “I’m already all better. Can I go out with you?”
He looked up at Liang Chengshan, his eyes full of affection. Anticipation spilled out from those beautiful phoenix eyes.
Liang Chengshan smiled and said, “Of course.”
That night, the two of them made love again. Liang Chengshan then carried Xie He into the bathroom to wash. But this time, Liang Chengshan didn’t put the sound back in. Xie He thought he had forgotten so he reminded Liang Chengshan.
Liang Chengshan smiled softly. “You don’t need it.”
Xie He looked at him, puzzled.
Liang Chengshan said, “You can hold it in now, right? So you don’t need it anymore.”
Xie He looked nervous. He didn’t know if he could really hold it in. He didn’t want to wet the bed because of it. Although Liang Chengshan probably wouldn’t mind, he still felt embarrassed.
Liang Chengshan kissed him, regarding him with a soft gaze. “You’re fine.”
He then carried Xie He out.
That night, Xie He slept in Liang Chengshan’s arms. In the middle of the night, he felt the urge to pee. He suddenly recalled that he could only rely on himself now so he did his best to hold it in. But he could only endure it for a while before he pushed Liang Chengshan away and ran to the bathroom.
Liang Chengshan was awoken from the push. He then waited for Xie He to come back before calming wrapping his arm around the other and falling back to sleep, as if nothing had happened. He wasn’t annoyed for being woken up either.
Xie He realized that he really was fine. His self confidence returned a little and he continued to sleep happily.
The next morning, the sunlight shone through the windows, caressing their bodies. Xie He slowly opened his eyes, watching Liang Chengshan with anticipation in his eyes. Liang Chengshan had said yesterday that he could go out today.
Liang Chengshan looked back at Xie He with a doting gaze. He helped the other dress and then grabbed his ankle. He placed the silver tracking anklet back onto Xie He. The anklet was exquisite and wasn’t chunky. It looked like an accessory.
Xie He looked confused. “What is this?”
Liang Chengshan smiled and said, “This is a gift. It means that you’re mine so no one will dare try to take you away from me.”
When Xie He heard this, he looked overjoyed. So this was how much Liang Chengshan loved him. He really liked this gift. It showed everyone that he belonged to Liang Chengshan. Xie He happily said, “No one can take me away anyway. I won’t leave you.”
Liang Chengshan laughed and gazed at Xie He lovingly. “I know.”
【444：Yi, Host dada, doesn’t he trust you? Why is he still putting a tracking device onto you? Σ( ° △°|||)︴】
【Xie He：Baby, you don’t understand. When someone uses an underhanded tactic to steal something, they can’t help but worry they’ll lose it. Uncle Liang is no exception. Even if I’m already like this, he won’t be able to feel at ease. He’s not only afraid that I’ll try to escape, he’s also afraid that his enemies will do something to me. Don’t take his calm exterior at face value. He hasn’t been able to relax for a second.... It’s not easy, wanting to obtain something. It’s even harder wanting to keep it. Moreover, he’s suspicious and cautious by nature. It’d be weird if he didn’t do this. Smile.JPG】
【444：But isn’t this being too careful? _(:зゝ∠)_】
【Xie He：I like having tricky, challenging problems. I really want to play with him more right now. 】
【444：......】
【Xie He：After all, I can’t let him use all my time up in vain. 】
【444：O(∩_∩)O~】
..............................
Liang Chengshan took Xie He outside, as promised. Because he had made preparations in advance, Kenny and co. did not seem puzzled over Xie He not recognizing them. But inwardly, they didn’t understand why their Boss had let this traitor stay and why he was spoiling him even more.
Although they didn’t provoke Xie He, their gazes weren’t friendly either.
Xie He didn’t recognize any of them. But he was still sensitive enough to feel the hostility Liang Chengshan’s people had towards him. When he was alone with Liang Chengshan, Xie He nervously said, “Your subordinates don’t seem to like me very much....”
Liang Chengshan sighed. “They still blame you for what you did. But don’t worry. I’ve already told them not to trouble you. If you’re not happy, just ignore them.”
Xie He seemed to recall some painful memories. His face paled. “It’s because...I betrayed you?”
He didn’t remember what horrendous thing he had done anymore. But when he saw how the people on Liang Chengshan’s side regarded him with hostility, he thought that his past self had really been too much. It must have been tough for Liang Chengshan to not blame him and to continue loving him so.
He felt both moved and ashamed. He didn’t know how he could make up for his mistakes.
Liang Chengshan could see the dejection in Xie He’s eyes. He hugged him gently and spoke in a soft voice. “It’s fine. I don’t care. As for them, you don’t have to pay them any attention.”
Xie He forced himself to nod. He had always really wanted to be at Liang Chengshan’s side. But he would not be able to get the approval of Liang Chengshan’s subordinates. Xie He felt really sad...thinking about how he would forever be loathed as a traitor from now on.
Liang Chengshan thought that he could not allow Xie He’s imagination to run wild. He was determined to find something for Xie He to do.
He actually didn’t lack any manpower, but if he let Xie He stay with him with nothing to do, it would only make the other feel all the more alienated and lonely. It would not be helpful in his re-integration into society. It would also hurt his self-esteem. After all, Liang Chengshan didn’t plan on making Xie He useless and treating him like a toy that could be discarded at any time. Therefore, he needed to always pay attention to the other’s mental well-being as well.
He needed to help Xie He get back to normal faster.
Liang Chengshan pondered over it for a while. He then called for his secretary and said to him, “You’re in-charge of taking Yang Ling around. Let him help you.”
The secretary immediately nodded. “Yes, Boss.”
He was Liang Chengshan’s trusted aid. He knew how much Xie He meant to Liang Chengshan. Therefore, he didn’t dare neglect Xie He. He very patiently and meticulously asked Xie He what he could do. It was just that Xie He couldn’t remember anything...so he couldn’t say anything.
The secretary was then hit with inspiration. He pulled out all sorts of information and accounts for Xie He to look over and patiently asked him if he understood them.
Xie He looked at the data. Although his memory was blank, strangely enough, he did understand most of it.
The secretary and Liang Chengshan exchanged glances. They didn’t expect that Xie He would still remember this. Furthermore, it was obvious he understood a lot of it.
Liang Chengshan looked very happy. He gave Xie He a praising look and said, “These things are very important. I’ll leave it to you.”
Xie He finally had something to do. He thus felt less alarmed, and less like he was an unnecessary useless person. When he heard Liang Chengshan say that, he happily replied with, “I will definitely do it well!” He really wanted to help Liang Chengshan out.
Liang Chengshan gave him a warm, encouraging look and then went to do his work.
..............................
Since Xie He had recovered fully, Liang Chengshan began to go out more often. However, no matter where he went, he would take Xie He with him. Xie He gradually grew accustomed to this kind of life. He realized that he understood more than he had expected. One time, he had a gun in his hands. The feeling was very familiar to him. Even if he didn’t remember, he was still able to shoot, as well as disassemble and reassemble it.
Liang Chengshan was always very supportive and appreciative of Xie He. This helped bring Xie He’s self-confidence back. Both his spirit and complexion perked up. Gradually, it was like he had regained all of his previous skills.
He was still sharp and dazzling. The only difference was that he now sincerely and earnestly loved Liang Chengshan.
Today, Xie He once again came with Liang Chengshan to the office. As Liang Chengshan’s helper, he aided Liang Chengshan with all sorts of menial tasks. Right now, he was about to go downstairs to help Liang Chengshan pick up some documents.
Xie He boarded the elevator. He was the only one inside.
【Xie He：Baby, it’s time for you to act. Stop the elevator. Smile.JPG】
【444：Yi? Why?】
【Xie He：You’ll find out in a bit. 】
【444：......】
With Xie He’s command, 444 immediately invaded the elevator’s system, causing the elevator to suddenly drop. It then ended up stuck between the seventh and eighth floor. The door was firmly shut and the lights had gone out.
As soon as 444 did this, he looked at Xie He. But when he caught sight of what his host was doing, he immediately screamed in fright.
【444：Host dada! What are you doing, ah ah ah?! Σ( ° △°|||)︴】
【Xie He：Baby, I’m about to lose my hearing from your screaming. Smile.JPG】
【444：QAQ】
【Xie He：Haven’t you noticed that Uncle Liang’s Favourability Value hasn’t risen at all as of late? Uncle Liang is too conceited. He always thinks that everything is within his control. Even if he suffers some losses, it’s still within his expectations. Therefore, he’s never found anything difficult to accept. If we continue on like this, the Favourability Value will rise extremely slowly. What I’m doing is giving him a reminder that there’s no no way to have complete control over something. Sooner or later, one will have to pay the price for their wrongdoings. It is not something that can be avoided just by being careful. 】
【444：QAQ】
【Xie He：If you have the energy to cry, how about you enact the pain barrier for me? What do you think, Baby?】
【444：......】
Liang Chengshan had just asked Xie He to help to pick up some documents, but Xie He hadn’t returned for quite some time. He had always been a vigilant person. He immediately realized that something was wrong. He ordered Kenny, “Go take a look. Find out where Yang Ling is.”
Kenny frowned. He didn’t want to go looking for that pretty boy traitor that had climbed into his boss’ bed. However, Liang Chengshan treasured him so even if Kenny wasn’t willing, he still had to go.
Because he didn’t really care, he was rather slow.
Liang Chengshan sat there for a while. Before Kenny could come back, he stood up abruptly, a flash of understanding flickering through in his brain. Xie He had never caused him any worry as of late. He was absolutely obedient and subservient. Everything had been in the palm of Liang Chengshan’s hands.... Liang Chengshan knew that there was no such thing as coincidences. A tiny change could cause serious consequences. Therefore, he had never been careless.
He instructed his remaining bodyguards to join in on the search. Very quickly someone told him that the elevator had malfunctioned and could not be used. Therefore, they had all gone to take the stairs.
When Liang Chengshan heard that the elevator had malfunctioned, he felt his head throb. A bad feeling arose inside of him. With a cold voice, he said, “Open the elevator!”
For the first time, anxiety could be seen in his eyes. No, Yang Ling couldn’t have been in the elevator....
His subordinates did as he commanded and immediately found someone to repair the elevator. However, they couldn’t find the cause of the malfunction so they had to forcefully open the door. Very soon, they were able to pry the doors open.
Liang Chengshan had stood at the elevator door with a heavy gaze in his eyes the whole time. As soon as the door was open just a crack, he peered inside. When he saw what was inside, his heart stopped. He couldn’t wait for them to open the door fully and didn’t care about the danger that came with jumping down into the elevator shaft. He directly squeezed himself through and jumped down!
Xie He was curled up on the ground, fear and despair filling his eyes. His forehead was bloody, probably because he had incessantly knocked his head against the wall. The blood had dripped into his eyes. He was a frightful sight. What was even more horrifying were his arms. They were a mess. There were chunks of flesh in his mouth and on the floor. He had bitten off parts of his own arm.
When he saw the light penetrate through the crack of the elevator and saw Liang Chengshan standing before him, he suddenly stopped. The crazed look in his eyes calmed down at once and a mixture of tears and blood flowed down his cheeks....He struggled to crawl over to Liang Chengshan, his voice hoarse. “You came. You...finally came.....”
Eve: Oh that’s gross. I feel bad for Yang Ling.
