77. Saying Goodbye

Translator: Sissy That Walk

Most of the time, Qi Le An was calm, strong, and smart. But sometimes he just couldn’t put on a brave face when he was with Wei Chang Feng.

It was as if the softest part in his heart was revealed when he was with Wei Chang Feng.

Wei Chang Feng didn’t talk about Chu Cheng Yuan, he just took Qi Le An to a restaurant for an early dinner. It was just 5 o’clock and they were both feeling a bit peckish.

Wei Chang Feng was a foodie, he knew all the good restaurants in City B. He took Qi Le An to a creative private kitchen in a Hutong. (T/N: Hutongs, a type of narrow alleys or street, is very typical and unique in Beijing Wei Chang Feng and the owner of the kitchen were very familiar with each other, so the waitress walked them to a private room directly.

The restaurant featured Old Beijing style hot pot. The lamb was cut as thin as paper, you just put the meat in the pot for two or three seconds and enjoyed it.

Qi Le An had completely forgotten the episode happened just now thanks to food.

“The meat is transported directly from the suburbs. It has not been frozen that’s why it’s so yummy,” Wei Chang Feng said to Qi Le An, “Do you like it?”

Qi Le An nodded with bright eyes. The Old Beijing style hot pot was different from Chongqing style hotpot, it was less spicy, but you got to enjoy the original flavor of the food even more.

“When are you going back to Hai City, An?” Wei Chang Feng asked.

“I’m going to see an advertising agency tomorrow. I’m probably going to leave after that appointment. I haven’t written my homework yet,” Qi Le An said honestly.

Wei Chang Feng put the cooked vegetables on Qi Le An’s plate and said, “Eat more veggies.”

Qi Le An covered the veggies with sesame sauce and asked, “Have you been busy recently, Wei Sama?”

“I’ll accompany my family to New Zealand tomorrow morning,” Wei Chang Feng put his chopsticks down and said to Qi Le An, “My parents usually reside in New Zealand. They want me to go over there to recuperate a bit more. My professor is there recently, so I’ll go over and stay for a while.”

Qi Le An’s chopsticks dropped on the plate on hearing that.

‘Wei Sama is leaving tomorrow morning? Going abroad? For how long?’

Wei Chang Feng sighed and said, “I might not be back until summer.”

Qi Le An couldn’t eat anymore.

He could often call Wei Chang Feng and occasionally find an excuse to fly to City B to meet him when they were in the same country. But if Wei Chang Feng went overseas, it would be difficult to even talk on the phone.

“Come visit me during the summer vacation,” perhaps seeing that Qi Le An was in a low mood, Wei Chang Feng suggested, “There are not many Chinese people there. Well, you can be free there.”

Qi Le An’s heart fell. He was very happy when he heard Wei Chang Feng inviting him to visit, so he forced a smile and said, “Well, I definitely will visit you and be a freeloader for a summer!”

Wei Chang Feng smiled and said, “My mother has a farm over there. You can play with the animals.”

Qi Le An, “! !!”

‘A farm! That’s the dream life!’

Wei Chang Feng always had the ability to make people happy. He told Qi Le An a lot of interesting things on the farm, which made Qi Le An want to fly to New Zealand right away!

When the hot pot was finished, not to mention the bad mood caused by Chu Cheng Yuan, even Wei Chang Feng’s leaving didn’t sound too heartbreaking!

“Should I tell Tong that I’m fine now?” Qi Le An suddenly remembered he owed Tong an explanation.

Wei Chang Feng nodded and said, “Send her a text will do.”

After driving Qi Le An back to the hotel, Wei Chang Feng went back home.

As soon as he entered the house, he got a call from Gary. “Wei Ge, shall I do something about the news that you and An showed up together in the gallery today?”

Wei Chang Feng thought for a moment and said, “No, that’s not necessary, by the way, do you know Chu Cheng Yuan?”

Gary was a sophisticated manager, he was all things to all men, he knew all the updates in the big entertainment companies, he thought for a second and said, “A new artist in Glory, the management likes him.”

Wei Chang Feng was confused and asked, “When did Glory sign him?”

Gary didn’t know the exact date, so he said, “Fairly recently, do you want me to investigate?”

Wei Chang Feng said, “No, that’s not necessary, thanks Gary, good night.”

The Wei family was preparing for the trip. Mrs. Wei and the housekeeper were packing up their luggage. Mr. Wei was checking all his antique books and trying to decide which ones he wanted to bring with him. Mrs. Wei saw Wei Chang Feng walking in and asked happily, “Chang Feng is back, have you eaten yet?”

Wei Chang Feng nodded and helped Mrs. Wei fold the clothes, “Yes mom, no need to worry about me all the time.”

Mrs. Wei was very happy that her son would leave together with her the next day, so she said, “No need to pack too much, your room is still the same way, we didn’t touch a thing.”

Wei Chang Feng nodded and helped Mrs. Wei pack up the stuff she needed before heading back to his room.

Just as his mother said, he didn’t have a lot packing to do. In the end, he only threw some clothes into his luggage.

Going back to New Zealand with the parents was a last-minute decision. Sheng Chang’an had investigated the car accident. It was Poised Deer who had schemed Wei Chang Feng’s car accident, they held a grudge against Wei Chang Feng for turning down “The General”, so they hit the car that Sheng Chang’an and Wei Chang Feng were in.

Although things were not that simple, Sheng Chang’an still suggested that Wei Chang Feng return to New Zealand for a while.

Wei Chang Feng wasn’t afraid of those scums, but he didn’t want to put his family members’ safety at risk. Furthermore, he had not spent any quality time with his parents for several years, so he agreed to go back to New Zealand together.

However, he still felt reluctant to say goodbye to Qi Le An, he couldn’t see Qi Le An  until summer vacation, that was a long time.

On the other side, Qi Le An went back to his hotel with a good mood. Instead of going back to his room, he knocked on Chen Shan’s door first.

Chen Shan was playing video games when Qi Le An walked in. He was surprised on seeing Qi Le An, “You came back so early today!”

It was rare for Qi Le An to come back before it was dark when he went out with Wei Chang Feng.

“Have you eaten, Chen Ge?” Qi Le An put the Crispy Pork Slice he brought from the hot pot restaurant on the table.

“Not yet,” Chen Shan focused on the game and said, “Smells so good, I’ll eat later, thanks.”

After saying that, he turned around and focused on the keyboard again, completely ignoring Qi Le An.

Qi Le An, “…”

Qi Le An, who was getting this kind of treatment from his Chen Ge for the first time had to put down the food and leave.

“See you later, Chen Ge, I need a shower now, I smell like hot pot.”

Chen Shan knocked on Qi Le An’s door when he finished showering, Qi Le An opened the door for Chen Shan with a bright smile.

Chen Shan was surprised on seeing Qi Le An in full-on sports gear, “What’s with you?”

“I’m going to work out,” Qi Le An said seriously.

He decided to learn from Wei Chang Feng!

Chen Shan silently swallowed the crispy pork slice and said, “Alright, good for you, this is a good habit, maybe you can grow taller with enough exercise.”

Qi Le An nodded with a snicker. He wanted to work out thus he could get a six-pack and seduce his Wei Sama as soon as possible!

Chen Shan had no idea what Qi Le An was up to, he smiled and said, “I’m going back to my game, just call me if you need anything.”

Qi Le An nodded and said, “Okay, enjoy your game.”

Chen Shan stroked Qi Le An’s head and left.

Qi Le An pouted, “Why everyone keeps stroking my head like I’m a cat!”

Qi Le An found that exercise could really make people feel relaxed and calm. The only side effect was he started to feel hungry after he left the gym, he called Chen Shan and asked him whether he was in the mood of grabbing a bite with him, Chen Shan was too occupied in the game to even leave his room.

Qi Le An shook his head in disapproval, ‘tut tut tut, men and video games!’

With that being said, he felt so comfortable bantering with Chen Shan, he knew he could trust Chen Shan with his life, unlike the friend he had in his previous life, who fooled him for so long with a fake smile… …At night, Qi Le An opened the book that was lying in his drawer, there were a strand of hair in the book, they were Wei Chang Feng’s.

Qi Le An carefully took one hair out and put it under his pillow.

The past few months have been unusually comfortable. He didn’t fabricate nightmares for anyone, but he was afraid that the system might mess with him up, so he found a way to balance.

Or a way to cheat.

The system fed on negative emotions, Qi Le An thought he could create negative emotions in people’s dreams, but the trick was to let the people forget about the dream.

As long as the fear in the dreams was real, the system would be happy. So Qi Le An figured he could just let the people forget about the dreams entirely in the end.

Qi Le An had personally tried it. He fabricated a horrible dream for himself, and then wrote the words “In the end, he forgets all of this”. The next day he woke up and didn’t remember a thing in the dream.

In the following month, Qi Le An did not enter the system had not attacked him even once.

This cheating method has not been discovered by the system for the time being, and Qi Le An didn’t know what would happen after the system discovered…

But the main purpose of entering the system this night was to create a dream about Wei Chang Feng!

Wei Chang Feng was leaving the next day. Qi Le An wanted to create a “beautiful dream”!

“Beep, Welcome to the nightmare system.”

The setting of the system was no longer a dark crampy room, now it was a bright lounge.

Qi Le An was more than happy when he found out that he could actually fabricate dreams in such a bright room.

It took the light globe a few days to get used to the new setting, but now he was having fun.

As soon as Qi Le An came in, light globe flew over and circled around Qi Le An.

The more Qi Le An and the light globe knew about each other, the more Qi Le An found that the light globe was like a derpy husky.

Qi Le An poked the light globe and greeted him. Then he quickly sat in front of the table and prepared to fabricate the dream in front of the upgraded dream-making machine — computer.

This night, Wei Chang Feng had a strange dream.

He dreamed that he was a prince in the fairy tale world and he was trapped on the tower. Someone told him that he could climb down using his hair, but he touched his head and found out he was bald.

From time to time, a dragon would swoop down to scare him and attack him.

Just as he was about to give up, a masked hero suddenly appeared and led him away from the tower, running away from the evil dragon.

They travelled over hill and dale, and the hero was injured because of him. When they finally returned to their country, the people started to clap their hands and ask them to get married.

One thing led to another, Wei Chang Feng and the hero got married. On the night of their wedding, the hero who saved him from the evil dragon finally removed his mask.

Then Wei Chang Feng saw Qi Le An’s face.

The next day, when Wei Chang Feng woke up, he felt bad!

He kept blaming himself for having a dream like that.
