Arc 3 – Slag that Entertainment Tycoon
Chapter 68

Chi Zhao was silent for a long time because he didn’t know how to answer that question. At this moment, even if he said ‘I didn’t have that thought’, Qi Yuyang probably wouldn’t believe him and if he said ‘I just think you’re unwell’, that also wouldn’t work, because Xue Qing would definitely not let Qi Yuyang treat the illness let alone remind him of it. If he said it, wouldn’t he be breaking his character?

After a long silence, Chi Zhao raised his eyes and looked at Qi Yuyang who had been waiting for his answer, “What I think is not important. What’s important is what you think.”

If you think you are crazy, then hurry and get it treated. If you think you’re not crazy, then also go and see a doctor and take precaution!

……..

Chi Zhao used up all his brain power to formulate such a cryptic sentence but unfortunately, except for him, the other humans and the system didn’t understand it.

“I still have something else to attend to so I’m leaving. You go home yourself.”

After that, Chi Zhao put on his hat and sunglasses. Once he was fully geared up, he stood up and left in a hurry.

After leaving the store, Chi Zhao didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he hid around the corner and secretly watched on while the system helped fill in on the situation inside the store.

“Did Cheng Ran go over?”

【No, Cheng Ran didn’t move.】

Chi Zhao was confused, “That can’t be. I just listed out all of Qi Yuyang’s symptoms. He should know better than me that Qi Yuyang’s mental illness is very serious.”

The system thought for a moment and raised a possibility.

【Cheng Ran is more interested in you than Qi Yuyang right now. Last time Qi Yuyang refused to give him face in front of so many people. Could Cheng Ran have held a grudge since then and now have no intentions to treat him?】

Chi Zhao: “…….”

Chi Zhao was in despair. He felt that the system’s words made sense.

Chi Zhao covered his face and sunglasses with his hands. Dammit, why didn’t he think of this before? What should he do now?

Chi Zhao was anxious. Suddenly, two young ladies walked over arm in arm. One of them stopped and looked suspiciously at the seemingly sneaky looking person and then cautiously approached him. In a small voice that also contained some disbelief, she asked, “That….May I ask……..”

Before she could finish speaking, Chi Zhao quickly turned around and looked at them vigilantly, “No, I’m not!”

Young lady: “…….” She hadn’t even finished her sentence.

She felt that the more she looked, the more familiar he looked. Her eyes continued to linger on Chi Zhao’s face, “But I think……….”

Chi Zhao again interrupted her, “No, you don’t think!”

Young lady: “………..”

If he stayed any longer, he may be recognised by passers-by. Chi Zhao quickly ran away while the system helped him navigate. He ran over to a place with few people and then took out his phone to call his manager to pick him up.

After he left, Cheng Ran stood up. He thought with amusement for a while before opening the curtain and entering the compartment behind him.

Qi Yuyang was still sitting on the ground like a sculpture. He didn’t stop Chi Zhao, nor did he move again. Apart from himself, no one knew what he was thinking. Cheng Ran had entered the cubicle for a long time, but Qi Yuyang didn’t look over at him. This continued until Cheng Ran spoke up, “I’m very curious. Is it more painful to have your love denied by the person you like or is it more painful to be regarded as crazy by the person you like?”

Qi Yuyang abruptly raised his head, his cold gaze making Cheng Ran a little taken aback. He was originally leaning arrogantly against the door frame but when Qi Yuyang looked at him like that, he instantly straightened up. Cheng Ran coughed with embarrassment and sat down opposite Qi Yuyang.

“What a coincidence to see you here President Qi. Thanks to President Qi’s mercy last time, my clinic was able to reopen.”

Saying that, Cheng Ran handed out his business card. It was the same as the one he gave Chi Zhao last time, “If you have time, why don’t you stop by for a visit?”

Qi Yuyang’s eyes became even more frightening and the air around him was so cold, it could almost freeze the drinks into ice. Seeing the familiar business card, Qi Yuyang’s eyes stirred. Cheng Ran very quickly retracted his hand to avoid this business card being brutally handled like last time.

His tone was very helpless, “Don’t be so hostile. I’m a professional psychiatrist. I may be able to cure your illness.”

Qi Yuyang didn’t remain silent this time and sneered very disdainfully.

………….

Seeing that he wasn’t cooperating, Cheng Ran also let out a light laugh. He then asked without holding back, “So you don’t want to be treated. Why? Are you afraid that I cannot cure you or are you afraid that I can cure you?”

Qi Yuyang said with hostility, “I hate self-righteous people like you the most.”

Cheng Ran laughed loudly and counterattacked back, “It’s mutual. What I hate most are people like you who think they’re above everyone.”

A passing cleaning aunty wiped her hands on her apron in confusion.

What was the difference between these two lines……..?

………..

Seeing that Qi Yuyang was still indifferent, Cheng Ran supported his chin with one hand, “Why, did I hit the mark? You’re afraid that I will heal you and then you find out that Xue Qing was right about your feelings for him; that it’s just an illusion and that it was you who had mistaken attachment for love?”

Qi Yyang replied gloomily, “I know what kind of feelings I have for him.”

Oh, so that means he had guessed wrong.

Cheng Ran nodded and continued nonchalantly, “Oh, then you’re afraid that after I cure you, Xue Qing can leave you more readily. After all, from the looks of it right now he doesn’t seem to be interested in you at all. Admitting that you are sick, he may sympathise and stay with you for a bit but if it’s cured, then even the last bit sympathy cannot be obtained.”

Qi Yuyang’s expression worsened as Cheng Ran spoke. In the end, he suddenly stood up, kicked aside the table in the middle and threw out a punch.

If that punch had hit the mark, Cheng Ran would have had to go to the hospital for emergency treatment but fortunately, his reflexes was good and he had always been wary of Qi Yuyang suddenly attacking, so he managed to duck in time.

Standing up again, Cheng Ran stood a metre away from Qi Yuyang and stored away his frivolous look from earlier. This time, he looked like a professional psychiatrist, “You’d better receive treatment as soon as possible. I’m serious. I believe you understand the principle of quantitative change to qualitative change. Don’t think that if you can control yourself now, you will be able to control yourself for the rest of your life. If you can’t control yourself, I’m sure you already know who will be most at risk and who will bear the brunt of it without me saying it?”

Qi Yiyang breathed heavily. He retracted his outstretched fist and seemed to have taken in Cheng Ran’s words. Cheng Ran was relieved. He then started to do his own mental calculations inside.

He really did want to cure Qi Yuyang because Qi Yuyang’s condition seemed to be different from the general case of paranoia. Perhaps it could be a valuable but stubborn case. Along the way, if Qi Yuyang was cured, he would no longer pester Xue Qing and the chances for himself would be greater.

After relaxing, Cheng Ran wanted to continue persuading but Qi Yuyang didn’t give him a chance to speak. He asked first, “Why are you here?”

Hearing this question, Cheng Ran naturally pointed outside, “I live here. The neighbourhood opposite this café is my place.”

.

Chi Zhao took out two suitcases and packed Xue Qing’s belongings in them. Most of the things here were Qi Yuyang’s property so there weren’t many things he could take away. The system watched him pack for a while and then asked him a question.

【After leaving, where are we staying?】

“Find a hotel to stay at for a few days first and then look for a place.”

Chi Zhao hunched his back and zipped up the suitcase.

【What to do if you run into paparazzi? You are a celebrity now. If your address is exposed, you will be a chicken in a weasel den.】

Chi Zhao’s face darkened. What kind of metaphor was that?

“Don’t I still have you? I will have to trouble you in the future to be on standby 24/7 and scan for suspicious people around me.”

The system sighed.

【Haa, at such a critical moment, it’s still me who needs to save your useless ass.】

Chi Zhao: “………..”

There were sounds of footsteps downstairs. Chi Zhao turned around and the door happened to open at this moment. Qi Yuyang’s eyes stopped on the two suitcases by his side.

After several seconds, Qi Yuyang lowered his hand and straightened up. He looked at Chi Zhao. “Where are you going?”

Chi Zhao slowly turned around and continued to stuff things into the suitcase, “Not sure. But it shouldn’t be hard finding a place.”

Xue Qing’s account was loaded. For a celebrity who needs maintenance and lavishness, it may be enough for one and a half year of expenses but for Chi Zhao, he could spend it until an old age. What’s more, he didn’t need to spend it until then. Not long afterwards, when Qi Yuyang is cured, he would be sent to jail and can only eat jail food there.

Qi Yuyang hastily approached him but soon stopped. He clenched his fists tightly by his sides and once again said in a low voice, “It’s too messy outside. You are a public figure. It will bring you a lot of trouble randomly finding a place to live. Just live here……I’ll help you find a place, okay?”

Qi Yuyang really had no choice but to say that. This was just his way of delaying him a little longer. No matter what happens in the future, his top priority right now was to make Xue Qing stay.

Chi Zhao wasn’t stupid to that extent. He naturally could see that Qi Yuyang was trying to fool him so he responded without any sugar-coating, “No need.”

There was no sound for a long time. The system quickly glanced back and it’s entire body made up of data froze. It fearfully reminded Chi Zhao:

【Host…..Why don’t you say a few nicer things? I think Qi Yuyang’s current state is not quite right…】

Chi Zhao’s actions stopped. He turned around and saw that Qi Yuyang was staring right at him.

Using a lot of effort, Qi Yuyang endured through the various dangerous thoughts appearing in his mind. He closed his eyes and waited for the throbbing at his temples to ease off before opening his eyes again, “Then you can leave tomorrow. Just stay here for tonight and I’ll take you over tomorrow. Is that okay?”

Chi Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he had known Qi Yuyang for less than half a year, Chi Zhao could still tell that he was lying. If he stayed overnight tonight, he may never be able to get out past that front door for the rest of his life. Before his illness is cured, Qi Yuyang would definitely not let him leave, let alone willingly help him move.

Chi Zhao moved the suitcase on the bed to the ground and firmly spat out one word, “No.”

Qi Yuyang took a step forward. His eyes appeared even more bloodshot. Right now, he looked like a beast who had been chased and driven to a dead end.

After a while, he said in a low, hoarse voice, “Xue Qing, don’t force me.”

Chi Zhao’s expression changed slightly but soon, that change was gone. He raised his head and used silence to declare his stance.
