Just as others don’t understand Xiyin, Xiyin also doesn’t understand Zhuang Baihua’s train of thought.

When Zhuang Baihua first came to the museum, Xiyin was disgusted and asked him, "Why not Xiaoyue? Let Xiaoyue come to see us."

Zhuang Baihua smiled but said nothing. After a while, Xiyin stopped asking questions and rolled her eyes and ran away when she saw Zhuang Baihua.

Later, Zhuang Baihua came to the museum, and Xiyin reluctantly came to him and asked, "Why didn't Xiaoyue come once?"

Luo Zhenduo and Mrs. Luo would go to the sanatorium to visit him, and even Zhuang Baihua would come to the museum to supervise him. Only Chi Yue was unwilling to show up.

This time, Zhuang Baihua replied: "I think both you and I know why he didn't come."

Xiyin bit her lips, tears welling up in her eyes.

He suddenly said: "In fact, I don't understand Xiaoyue at all. The Xiaoyue I see is not the real Xiaoyue. Only you can truly understand his other side."

He raised his chin proudly, glanced at Zhuang Baihua, then turned and ran away again.

Zhuang Baihua sighed and shook his head.

Just as Dr. Zhao said, when Xiyin can understand the meaning of the word "restraint", he will be able to recover.

The experience as a museum volunteer has helped Xiyin build his faith. Dr. Zhao said that his condition has improved a lot, but there is a problem at present. Xiyin's psychological age is regressing.

Dr. Zhao said that this was because he was rebuilding his values and worldview, which required him to overthrow everything he had believed in before. This made him feel uneasy, and he hoped to become a child who was taken care of again, hoping to be able to rely on others with a legitimate reason.

Just then, something happened.

Xiyin has been working as a volunteer in the museum for some time. As long as he doesn't go crazy, he is a quiet and gentle young man. He is good-looking, lovable, and has a good relationship with the staff.

In addition to permanent exhibitions, the museum often changes its theme exhibitions. Every time a new exhibition is held, Xiyin has to look up information and recite the commentary. In this process, Xiyin is indeed deeply inspired.

That day he helped the staff set up the display boards. As they worked, they chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"Have you seen the recent news about a baby being taken away by mistake?" a staff member brought up the topic.

Xiyin's heart suddenly tightened.

Luo Zhenduo chose to take legal action to hold the Chi family accountable. Since he was going to court, it would inevitably be made public to a certain extent. This matter was originally a melodramatic family drama that many netizens loved, and many social news reporters came back to inquire about it.

Fortunately, the Luo family was rich and powerful, and they suppressed the news before it spread in the media, so it did not affect the people involved.

This time, the museum staff mentioned the news of the wrong baby, which made Xiyin panic. Did the news leak out? Everyone was about to know that he was a fake young master.

Another staff member asked, "Which news?"

"It's about the mistaken owner who was held for 25 years."

After hearing this, Xiyin felt a little relieved. The ages didn't match. Why were there so many cases of wrong babies being taken away these days

"It is said that it is possible that the baby was taken away intentionally and the sick baby was replaced with the healthy one."

Others sighed: "This is too abominable."

"Moreover, the family raised the fake son for 25 years, gave him all the good resources, paid for his education, and arranged a job for him. The mother even wanted to use her own organs to save her son. Who knew that the son was fake? The fake son himself was not very motivated and even wanted to suck the blood of his adoptive parents."

"It is true that genes determine everything. Bad genes cannot be saved even with a good education, and people will still become bad people in the end."

Several people were discussing this matter one by one. Xiyin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up and shouted, "It's not a bad gene!"

After he finished shouting, he gasped for breath. The people around him looked at him in surprise, not understanding what was going on.

Xiyin restrained the urge to overturn the display board, which they had just painstakingly arranged. It depicted the deeds of heroes and martyrs. Although he wanted to destroy everything, he held back.

He doesn't have any bad genes.

Xiyin lowered his head, bit his lip and ran out. The people Luo Zhenduo had planted in the museum immediately noticed something was wrong and took him back to the sanatorium.

Since then, Xiyin's condition has become worse again, and she cannot step out of the sanatorium, let alone go to the museum.

When Zhuang Baihua learned about this, he felt a little regretful. After all, he was not omnipotent and could not make everyone return to normal.

‌Later, Luo Zhenduo told Zhuang Baihua that they decided to send Xiyin abroad.

Dr. Zhao will help contact her overseas mentor and provide Xiyin with continuous treatment.

This decision was reasonable. Zhuang Baihua knew that Luo Zhenduo had nowhere to put Xiyin, and sending her abroad was the best option.

The Luo family will continue to bear Xiyin's medical expenses and other expenses and will not ignore them.

On the day Xiyin went abroad, Zhuang Baihua went to the airport.

In fact, it had nothing to do with him, but Zhuang Baihua inexplicably wanted to send Xiyin off.

After all, they are both the paranoid male supporting characters in this book. From the perspective of the protagonist Chi Yue, Xiyin has reached the end, but where will his end be

Mrs. Luo didn't come, and Luo Zhenduo took care of everything for his adopted son at the airport.

Luo Zhenduo has lost a lot of weight recently, his eyes are dull and his black eyes stare straight at people, which actually resembles Chi Yue when he is depressed.

Zhuang Baihua was quite surprised, and only then realized that they were indeed father and son.

Luo Zhenduo once told Zhuang Baihua privately that he shamelessly breathed a sigh of relief the moment he decided to send Xiyin away.

He didn't know how to face Xiyin. He felt guilty towards Chiyue just looking at Xiyin. He felt he was not qualified to scold and educate her. He couldn't let Xiyin go, and at the same time, he could no longer treat Xiyin unconditionally well.

These contradictions left him at a loss.

Zhuang Baihua can only say: "Leave everything to time."

Xiyin might not be unaware of the situation. He admitted his failure and that he was now homeless.

Zhuang Baihua looked at Xiyin. He was white and transparent, and still as weak as before.

Zhuang Baihua said to him: "Everyone's genes are predetermined by heaven, and they cannot be chosen by themselves."

Xiyin's body was tense and she said nothing.

“You can’t determine your genes, but you can determine the path you take. Be the right person and be a counterexample to genetic absolutism.”

Xiyin raised her head and looked at Zhuang Baihua.

Zhuang Baihua doesn't like Xiyin, and because of this person, she hurt Chiyue. Chiyue didn't pursue the matter, and Luo Zhenduo didn't have the heart to pursue it, but it doesn't mean that Xiyin has no responsibility.

Zhuang Baihua hopes he can return to normal and then feel regret.

Regret is the panacea for restraining oneself.

Xiyin sneered: "I hate this kind of nice guy the most." He lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "Isn't he here?"

Everyone knew who the "he" Xiyin was referring to. Zhuang Baihua could only shake his head: "No."

Xiyin didn't react much, she just said: "You may still not believe it, but you really like him."

"I knew very early that I was not a child of the Luo family, but I continued to pretend for the sake of money and health. Later, I met Xiaoyue. Xiaoyue was a well-known poor student in the school, and his parents were also well-known for being weird, but he didn't seem to care about those things. He worked and studied every day, and I never saw him give in."

Xiyin talked in a murmuring manner, and Zhuang Baihua listened silently.

"Xiaoyue doesn't have everything you have, but he still lives a beautiful life. I envy him very much."

He covered his face as he spoke: "It turns out that everything I have was stolen from him, but I really like him."

Xiyin kept repeating "I really like you". Zhuang Baihua frowned and finally couldn't help but said, "Love is restraint and protection. You don't understand what love is at all."

After hearing this, Xiyin was distraught until she entered the security check passage.

Zhuang Baihua turned around and prepared to return.

The original book's slogan "The ultimate love is all in paranoid literature" is true. Xiyin couldn't let go of Chiyue in the end and was still obsessed with her.

But he must have regretted it.

Only through regret can we be reborn.

Zhuang Baihua suddenly hoped viciously that Xiyin would not come back, so that Chi Yue could breathe a sigh of relief.

The upright man realized his own selfishness and rubbed his forehead.

Just then, he saw Chi Yue outside the airport.

Chi Yue was waiting on the road leading to the parking lot. When she saw Zhuang Baihua coming, she immediately stepped forward.

Zhuang Baihua said to him, "Xiyin has already boarded the plane. She is a step late."

Chi Yue looked at Zhuang Baihua strangely and said, "What does his matter have to do with you? I'm here to pick you up." He smiled sweetly, "Let's go back together."

Zhuang Baihua also smiled: "Okay."

Luo Zhenduo has been asking Chi Yue to move to the Luo Mansion as soon as possible. Chi Yue agreed verbally, but in fact he still stayed at Zhuang Baihua's house. Now that Xiyin has left, he has no intention of moving. It seems that he wants to delay until the end of summer vacation.

In fact, school will start soon, and Chi Yue will definitely have to live on campus. At that time, she can only go back to the Luo family on weekends.

Zhuang Baihua was a little reluctant to leave, as he had been living alone before. Only after Chi Yue came did he realize how good it felt to have more people at home. However, Chi Yue had finally found her ancestral home, and he couldn't hinder him from communicating with his relatives.

Lao Luo has become so thin that he is unrecognizable. He needs the nourishment of family love.

The two got in the car and the driver drove them back to the apartment.

When they passed the property gate, the guard suddenly stopped Zhuang Baihua's car and said that someone had left a letter at the gate.

Zhuang Baihua was still wondering who would send him a letter when the guard said, "The envelope has Zhuang Baihua's room number on it, but on the front it says 'to Chi Yue'."

Zhuang Baihua was stunned and turned to look at Chi Yue beside him.

Chi Yue had no expression on her face and said, "It might be the class committee member. I left the address for them."

Zhuang Baihua thought, don't young people these days use electronic means to communicate with each other? It turns out they still retain the tradition of sending letters. It seems that I am not too out of date.

The guard passed the letter to Chi Yue through the car window. Chi Yue took it, glanced at it casually, and said, "It's from the class monitor. It's a paper invitation to an event this semester."

Since Chi Yue said so, Zhuang Baihua didn't take it to heart. He thanked the guard and asked the driver to drive into the garage.

According to the routine of general novels, Xiyin's going abroad means that the plot of this supporting character has completely ended, and it is not clear where this supporting character is for the time being.

Zhuang Baihua felt a stomachache when he thought about the two paranoid bosses.

Xiyin is already so extreme, what if the rest are even more perverted than the other

There is no other way, we can only arm ourselves as much as possible and respond to all changes with the same attitude.

Zhuang Baihua looked at Chi Yue, clenched his fist and encouraged him: "Come on!"

Chi Yue was puzzled. What was he talking about? However, he still smiled sweetly and responded, "Let's work hard together."

When it was time to go to bed at night, Chi Yue still slept on the floor next to Zhuang Baihua. Zhuang Baihua originally wanted to put a bed in the bedroom, but was rejected by Chi Yue.

Chi Yue said: "Sleeping on the floor is very good. Only by being patient and patient can your sword intent subside."

Zhuang Baihua: “…”

I don’t understand the young people nowadays. What kind of sword is he talking about

With Chi Yue around, Zhuang Baihua usually sleeps very soundly, but today is an exception.

He had a dream.

I dreamed about Chi Yue and Xi Yin.

To be exact, it's everyone's business.

In the dream, the Luo family discovered that Chi Yue was their child, and let Chi Yue live with Xi Yin. Xi Yin continued to use her weakness to deceive Luo Zhenduo and Madam Luo, while hurting Chi Yue.

Xiyin set up various traps in Luo Mansion, trying every means to make Chiyue bleed.

Zhuang Baihua felt nauseous and didn't understand why he had such a dream. Then he saw himself in the dream.

In the dream, my face was full of arrogance, sinisterness and cruelty, and my eyes were full of condescending disdain.

Only then did he realize that this person was not him, but the original owner.

The original owner knew that Chi Yue was his friend's biological son, but he still didn't give up and wanted to capture Chi Yue and take him back to his small dark room. Luo Zhenduo found out about this and was furious. The two bosses broke up and a bloody storm broke out in the business world.

Zhuang Baihua vaguely realized that this might be the plot of the original book, and couldn't help but sigh that the original owner had so many roles that he could even appear in the Luo family incident.

The following dream left Zhuang Baihua confused.

The scene in his dream suddenly changed and switched to Luo Zhenduo's winery.

It was still the cellar full of wine. The cellar was dark and filled with the smell of wine. There were only Chi Yue and Xi Yin inside.

Xiyin was lying on the ground, her body covered with red scars, not just on her arms, but also on her abdomen, neck, and thighs. Blood was oozing from the wounds, making Xiyin look very miserable.

Chi Yue sat on a chair nearby, playing with a fountain pen that was as bright as the starry sky, looking down at Xi Yin.

Xiyin panted and took deep breaths, and said with difficulty: "It hurts so much...Xiaoyue."

Chi Yue remained indifferent.

"It's not my body that hurts... it's my heart that hurts..." Xiyin said intermittently.

Chi Yue remained motionless.

"Please... doctor..." Xiyin used all her strength to grab the clothes on her chest, "Call the doctor..."

His voice became smaller and smaller, until it was almost inaudible.

Chi Yue kept playing with the pen and did not stand up to call a doctor for Xiyin.

Zhuang Baihua suddenly opened his eyes.

He didn't dare let the dream continue. He couldn't tell whether Xi Yin in the dream was pretending to have heart pain. He also couldn't bear to see Chi Yue who was so numb and gloomy in the dream.

"What's wrong?"

In reality, Chi Yue got up from the ground, knelt in front of Zhuang Baihua's bed, looked at Zhuang Baihua with bright eyes, and asked, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Zhuang Baihua turned on the bedside lamp, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Yeah, I woke you up."

Chi Yue immediately stood up, poured a cup of warm water, handed it to Zhuang Baihua, patted his back gently, and said awkwardly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Zhuang Baihua burst out laughing: "Oh, you're acting like a little adult."

Chi Yue pursed her lips and smiled shyly.

Under the orange light, Chi Yue's facial features were soft and delicate, and she looked gentle and peaceful.

Zhuang Baihua thinks Chi Yue is better like this.

Zhuang Baihua finished drinking the water, lay back down, and said, "It's okay now. It was just a dream. It was all fake."

This sentence may be to convince himself.

Chi Yue also obediently returned to his bed and said to Zhuang Baihua for the first time, "Good night."

Zhuang Baihua turned off the light: "Good night."

After a while, Zhuang Baihua fell asleep again, but Chi Yue opened his eyes.

He slowly got up from the ground and quietly walked out of the bedroom.

He also poured himself a glass of water, held the glass, took out the letter he had read during the day, and leaned against the large floor-to-ceiling window in the living room of Zhuang Baihua's apartment.

Chi Yue drank the glass of water as if he was tasting wine, shook out the letter, and read it in the moonlight outside the window.

“To Chi Yue: You have finally taken back the throne that belongs to you… The pearl may be covered in dust, but its splendor cannot be concealed… You are the purest angel, even if you have fallen into the mortal world and experienced suffering, you are still holy…”

There is also a long paragraph praising Chi Yue, and the last sentence is still "I love you".

Chi Yue clicked her tongue, shook off the goose bumps on her body, crumpled up the letter into a ball, and stuffed it into the water cup in her hand.

When the paper came into contact with water, it slowly became soaked, and the words on it dissolved in the water, becoming hazy and impossible to make out clearly.

The next day, Zhuang Baihua got up and looked at the cups on the dining table at home, lost in thought, and said to himself, "I always feel like there's one missing."

Chi Yue heard this but said nothing.

He didn't say that he felt sick in the middle of the night and ended up throwing away the cup and the softened letter paper.
