Arc 3 – Slag that Entertainment Tycoon
Chapter 58

This is an ordinary modern world. The character to be played by Chi Zhao is called Xue Qing, an actor with some fame.

Xue Qing had excellent looks and often played the role of the likes of domineering presidents and cold and aloof male gods. His appearance and personality fit these types of characters very well to the point that it was simply tailored for him. With many people saying that his acting skills were good and also the fact that there was someone supporting him behind the scenes, Xue Qing’s reputation grew over the years.

And the person who had been supporting Xue Qing was the protagonist of this world———–Qi Yuyang.

Please don’t misunderstand, the relationship between Xue Qing and Qi Yuyang wasn’t of a sponsor and a sponsored. The two were high school classmates. There was a little incident in the middle and for about six years the two of them didn’t meet but not long after Xue Qing debuted, when he still needed to run around to get his name out, he happened to run into Qi Yuyang again at an event. The two chatted a little and slowly became acquainted.

In the eyes of the outsiders, Xue Qing and Qi Yuyang have a very good relationship and seem to be good buddies but in fact, their relationship was much more complicated than that.

Qi Yuyang suffered from severe insomnia and headaches. Like all kinds of BL novels, when the gong is sick, only the shou can cure it. Xue Qing was the one who could cure Qi Yuyang. After meeting Xue Qing, Qi Yuyang discovered that his headaches and insomnia could be cured without any medications. Although he didn’t understand why, it was a pleasant surprise and he naturally didn’t want to let this opportunity pass, so he approached Xue Qing in every way possible and finally managed to bring the other person home.

Because he didn’t want to have anymore headaches, Qi Yuyang stayed by Xue Qing’s side almost all the time. As soon as he leaves Xue Qing for more than two hours, he would have unbearable headaches and would have to play the OSTs of the dramas Xue Qing acted in as background noise to ease the pain.

With them living under one roof, some developments aren’t very surprising. After a couple of push and pulls, the two of them got together.

Qi Yuyang had never liked another person before, and he didn’t know what love was. He thought that since he didn’t feel uncomfortable when around Xue Qing, that was considered love, a fate decided by the heavens. It would’ve been great if everything were that simple, but the truth was, everything was much more complicated and crueller than they seemed.

It turned out that there was a terrible conspiracy going on in the shadows. It had started many years ago when Qi Yuyang was still in high school.

Xue Qing’s father was a psychologist. Xue Qing lived with only his father since a young age as his mother passed away a long time ago. With only two men living together, their lives were very mundane. His father also liked to do experiments, causing the family to constantly be out of money and live on a very tight budget.

Xue Qing’s father was someone who detested the rich. After hearing that Qi Yuyang was Xue Qing’s classmate, his father started to have some twisted thoughts. He made his son note down Qi Yuyang’s usual whereabouts and then, as soon as he found an opportunity, Xue Qing’s father kidnapped Qi Yuyang. Qi Yuyang’s parents had both passed away and it was his grandfather and grandmother taking care of him. As soon as they heard about the kidnapping, his grandmother and grandfather were terrified. They didn’t dare call the police and directly sent the ransom money over.

Logically speaking, it should be over the moment the money was given but the other party was a kidnapper and also a kidnapper with high IQ. With such a good opportunity in his hands, how could he not make good use of it?

After receiving the ransom money, he didn’t immediately release him and instead, threw Qi Yuyang in an alley a week later. The police found Qi Yuyang there and brought him to the hospital where he was unconscious for three whole days. When he woke up, he became taciturn. He was no longer the bright and sunny boy he used to be.

His headaches and insomnia also started from that time.

As mentioned earlier, Xue Qing’s father was a psychologist and was very well versed in in the defences and weaknesses of one’s heart. For an entire week, he used all kinds of terrible methods to torture Qi Yuyang, making him break down over and over again. He didn’t do these things for fun. He had done it for his son.

Whenever Qi Yuyang couldn’t stand it anymore, he would hypnotise Qi Yuyang and let his son stand next to him and recite a collection of poems or novels in a steady tone to create a psychological imprint in Qi Yuyang’s mind. This continued until Qi Yuyang believed that, only by approaching Xue Qing, would he no longer need to suffer and only Xue Qing could rescue him from this endless pain and misery.

It was also a form of double insurance. The person who kidnapped Qi Yuyang was Xue Qing’s father but if the truth was revealed, Xue Qing’s life would definitely not be very easy. As an accomplice, perhaps he would also be sent to jail. With such an imprint added, Qi Yuyang wouldn’t have the heart to hurt Xue Qing and would definitely do his best to save him. After all, in his consciousness, Xue Qing was his saviour. He could only obtain salvation and peace with Xue Qing.

With the hypnotic effect, Qi Yuyang no longer remembered what happened to him when he was kidnapped, and he didn’t remember who kidnapped him. The police had searched for a long time but couldn’t figure out the kidnapper’s identity and eventually had no choice but to stop. Qi Yuyang’s grandparents were traumatised after this incident. They no longer dared to stay in this city anymore and brought Qi Yuyang back to their hometown in the south. When he graduated high school, they send Qi Yuyang out to study abroad for college before finally returning.

As a result, Qi Yuyang and Xue Qing didn’t see each other for six whole years and Xue Qing’s father’s hard work had remained ineffective until………the day they met again.

Hypnosis was hypnosis. Even if it seemed real, everything was fake. After Qi Yuyang and Xue Qing lived together for two years, one day, Qi Yuyang met a psychiatrist at a reception. This psychiatrist sensed that his mental state wasn’t the same as the others after a short exchange. His possessiveness towards Xue Qing was almost psychopathic. One look and you could tell that it was abnormal.

This psychiatrist found it strange and deliberately approached Qi Yuyang several times. In the end, his efforts paid off. He successfully broke the hypnosis, allowing Qi Yuyang to remember the past.

Over the seven days of inhumane torture, Qi Yuyang only slept briefly for a couple of hours or so. Every time he was tortured until he was about to go crazy, Xue Qing would stand next to him and softly say a few words before he was allowed to close his eyes and sleep for an hour.

Xue Qing wasn’t always in that dark and cramped room. He went back to school during the day and when he got back, he would throw his bag aside and slowly approach Qi Yuyang without a trace of emotion on his face. Let alone sympathy, Qi Yuyang had never seen any sort of emotion one would have when witnessing their own classmates being tortured on that face of his.

The way he looked at him was like he was just a large stone. Would a human feel compassion for a stone? Of course not.

And such an indifferent Xue Qing was the same Xue Qing who laid beside him in bed every day.

With the hypnosis broken and illusion shattered, one could only imagine how angry Qi Yuyang must’ve been. The perpetrator had hypocritically made himself out to be the saviour and had even brazenly moved into his house and eat and use his things at will. Once Qi Yuyang knew the truth, he even had the urge to kill Xue Qing.

Qi Yuyang was a ruthless person. Even after knowing the truth, he didn’t reveal it and instead secretly gathered information about Xue Qing first. On Xue Qing’s twenty-fourth birthday, his birthday party was held by an outsourcing company. Qi Yuyang had specially given them a lot of money to get them make it as extravagant as possible. Many stars in the entertainment circle came and many of Xue Qing’s fans were also invited. Reporters were naturally included too.

One second Xue Qing was blowing out the candles and the next second he was taken away by the police in front of everyone. In just one night, the public opinion on the Internet changed and everything that was done by Xue Qing was made public. The public uproar continued on for a long time but Xue Qing didn’t have the time to deal with this because he was still held in the detention centre.

With Qi Yuyang working behind the scenes, Xue Qing was sentenced to life imprisonment. He had many crimes laid onto him and it was likely that he would never be able to come back out again.

Within a few years, Xue Qing died silently in prison. No one knew how he had died.

As for Qi Yuyang, after being deceived for so long, he had become even more dark and withdrawn than before. He wanted to find Xue Qing’s father but after searching for a long time, he found out that Xue Qing’s father had died a long time ago.

The revenge had to be stopped here. Qi Yuyang was at loss. He then remembered the psychiatrist who had saved him from this predicament and went to find him for another psychological consultation. This time, Qi Yuyang managed to find his true saviour.

The psychiatrist liked Qi Yuyang but Qi Yuyang still had some psychological shadows left from his relationship with Xue Qing. After more than ten years, when they reached their middle ages, did Qi Yuyang finally let down his guard and gradually get together with the psychiatrist. Since then, they lived a peaceful and ordinary life.

What was ironic was that this psychiatrist used to be Xue Qing’s father’s student. It was also because of this that he could easily tell that Qi Yuyang was hypnotised and be able to treat him successfully.

After going around for several decades, Qi Yuyang still failed to completely get rid of the shadows left behind by the kidnapping case. Whether it was Xue Qing or the psychiatrist, they all more or less had some form of relationship with it.

In this regard, Chi Zhao expressed deep sympathy to the protagonist Qi Yuyang.

But if you want to be a protagonist, you will have to suffer a little more than others. Chi Zhao already knew this. He was instead more concerned about another matter.

The kidnapping had happened six years ago, and it is now six years later. In other words, it wasn’t long after Xue Qing and Qi Yuyang met again. The harm had already been inflicted and the lies had already been laid out. Chi Zhao really didn’t have to do anything: He didn’t need to hurt anyone, he didn’t need to deliberately pursue plot points nor did he need to do things that would go against his conscience. All he had to do now was to live well until Qi Yuyang becomes acquainted with the psychiatrist and the plot would automatically move to the end.

If this isn’t getting a free ride then want is?!

Chi Zhao’s eyes were teary, “I’m so touched. After failing two worlds in a row, you not only didn’t throw me aside and even helped me find such a good world. System, I……”

The system calmly interrupted him.

【I know you love me but please also control your emotions. Human and system romance will not work out.】

Chi Zhao: “…….”

This was Qi Yuyang’s home. After the two met, Qi Yuyang gradually discovered the benefit of being close to Xue Qing. It was easy to transition from frugality to luxury, but it was hard to transition from luxury to frugality. When he didn’t know of a way to relieve the pain, he could silently endure through it but now that he knew of a way, he didn’t want to endure through the pain at all. He however didn’t know how to invite Xue Qing to live with him so he asked the company to temporarily take back the apartment allocated to Xue Qing saying that it would be returned after renovation and request that he, for the time being, live at Qi Yuyang’s place.

This kind of excuse was very poorly thought out but Xue Qing knew the reason for Qi Yuyang doing this, so he didn’t question anything and simply agreed.

It is now eight o’clock in the morning. Soon, Xue Qing will need to attend a press conference for a movie that is about to be released. Chi Zhao walked into the walk-in-closet to check his appearance.

With one look, he was stunned.

Chi Zhao blushed. He shamefully covered his face, “I-I’m so handsome…..”

【Handsome to the point that you want to push yourself down?】

Chi Zhao: “With such a handsome face, can’t I push someone else down?!”

The system snorted. It didn’t speak and just coldly tossed a folder over.

Chi Zhao opened it with a head of question marks only to see that there were only three bolded words —– Slag Shou System. The first two words were even italicised and the word shou was also circled in red.

Chi Zhao: “…….”
