Zhu Ling’s words stunned Bei Quan.
Originally, with his superb ability to spurt nonsense without betraying anything on his face or with a skip of a heartbeat, Bei Quan could pretend not to understand and prevaricate with a smile.
But it was Zhu Ling who had asked this.
Furthermore, it was Zhu Ling who had his life lamp in her hands.
“…”
Bei Quan was silent for a moment and finally nodded very gently.
Seeing Bei Quan’s reaction, Zhu Ling’s face became more gloomy.
Just now, she had only spoken to test him because of a vague feeling, but now, her suspicions were confirmed.
“You…”
Zhu Ling hesitated and asked, “Do you… Like Xiao Wei?”
Bei Quan and Zhu Ling were both facing each other— both trying to read each other’s emotions from the other’s expressions.
“Maybe.”
Bei Quan smiled, with a rare bitterness in his smile, “I’m not sure ……”
He looked down and seemed to be thinking seriously. After a moment, he answered softly, “I think I like him…”
Indeed, Bei Quan didn’t lie.
He must admit that he really has a good impression of Wei Fuyuan, one that was different from how he felt about anyone else.
Because of his special physique, Bei Quan changed partners more frequently than his clothes. Up until now, the partner who had worked with him the longest, had worked with him for less than half a year, having had to leave because he was affected by his evil spirit.
But Wei Fuyuan was different.
His little assistant was like an energetic big dog. He followed him freshly and energetically every day. Because of the power of merit and virtue brought from his mother’s womb, so far, he had not shown any discomfort of being infected by his evil spirit.
Bei Quan must admit that when he was with Wei Fuyuan, he would feel joy and relaxation he had never experienced before.
He liked Wei Fuyuan’s touch and the power of merit and virtue that Wei Fuyuan brought into his body when he kissed him to wake him up— it was a palpitating warmth he had never felt previously.
But…
Bei Quan put his hand under the desk and unconsciously clenched his fist.
But……
Zhu Ling frowned and said, “you know—”
“I know.”
Bei Quan interrupted Zhu Ling’s unfinished words.
“No, I don’t think you know!”
Zhu Ling lowered her voice and spoke more sternly than usual.
“If you know exactly what you’re doing, you shouldn’t be messing with people, let alone with an ordinary person!”
Bei Quan: “……”
He was speechless.
Zhu Ling still did not intend to let him go.
“Although you are a person now, you know how your body came… Do you want to fall in love with an ordinary person with this evil spirit?”
She paused and asked, “Do you want to kill Wei Fuyuan?”
Bei Quan: “…”
He leaned back in his chair and didn’t speak for a long time.
“I see.”
Finally, Bei Quan sighed.
“I’ll talk to Xiao Wei…”
He swallowed hard and his voice was astringent, but he still finished the rest of the sentence,
“I’ll… Let him go.”
———————–
Wei Fuyuan waited for a long time in the living room, stretching his neck, it was hard to wait patiently until the door of the study opened.
Zhu Ling came out, “Xiao Wei, Bei Quan wants you to go in.”
The girl’s tone was cold. When she spoke, she looked back at Bei Quan with a warning in her eyes.
Wei Fuyuan stood up and entered the study.
Bei Quan was the only one in the room.
He did not sit on the chair, but stood in front of the bookcase and seemed to be looking for something.
Wei Fuyuan opened his mouth and called out, “Bei Quan.”
“Hmm.”
Bei Quan answered and turned his head towards Wei Fuyuan and smiled.
Wei Fuyuan’s heart jolted for no reason.
During this period, the two had become too familiar, especially during the week in the City, they spent time together, ate together, slept together, and were inseparable every day.
He hadn’t seen such a detached smile from Bei Quan in a long time.
“Bei Quan?”
Wei Fuyuan’s heart was uneasy, and he called out again tentatively.
Bei Quan turned around and pointed to the table, letting Wei Fuyuan see for himself what was on the table.
Wei Fuyuan picked up the two A4 sheets of paper that had just been printed out on the desk, and when he saw the title, “Agreement on Termination of Employment Contract”, his face suddenly changed.
“What do you mean?!”
Wei Fuyuan’s eyes widened and he cried out, “You want to fire me?”
Bei Quan still had a faint smile on his face, and his voice was calm, “We agreed before that you will only work here until my new partner comes.”
He pointed towards the door, “Now that Xiao Jiang is here, there’s no need to bother you.”
Wei Fuyuan couldn’t believe what he heard.
“Now that the boy is here, you’re going to fire me?”
He slammed the labour contract termination agreement back on the table, took a big step forward with his long legs, stepped in front of Bei Quan, and slammed his hand on the bookcase with a thump.
“I, I haven’t done well enough in these four months? Can’t I be your partner? Why do you want to switch me out for someone else?!”
“Xiao Wei, calm down and don’t get agitated yet.”
Bei Quan allowed Wei Fuyuan to maintain this threatening posture with a smile on his face.
“As you have seen in recent months, our ‘company’ is not doing ordinary ‘business’… It is very dangerous to deal with Hui Guis.”
He raised his hand and patted Wei Fuyuan on the arm caging him in. “You are a college student. You are different from us. You should not be involved in these things…”
Bei Quan smiled apologetically.
“Sorry, Xiao Wei.”
He said, “I was too selfish in the past and let you encounter so much danger for nothing.”
Wei Fuyuan: “……”
He was so angry with Bei Quan’s words that he didn’t know what to say for a while, and could only stare at Bei Quan with a deadly glare, his eyes full of anger as if he wanted to kill him with his gaze.
“Now, now you say such things!”
Wei Fuyuan was so angry that his voice was shaking. He wanted to grab Bei Quan’s shoulder and shake it hard. He’d learned what the other party had done long ago. After being through so much, wasn’t it too late to say, “Shouldn’t be involved in these things?”
Annoyed to the extreme, he suddenly grabbed the back of Bei Quan’s head, without saying a word, pressed the person in his arms, and then lowered his head and kissed him.
He kissed very hard and disorganized. He parted Bei Quan’s lips with the tip of his tongue and ran rampant, kissing until they couldn’t breathe.
“I, I like you so much!”
Wei Fuyuan gasped and continued to bite on Bei Quan’s lips. “I like you so much. How can you let me go?! Do you still want me to go?!”
Bei Quan wanted to push Wei Fuyuan away.
But under the extreme anger, Young Master Wei’s strength was incredibly strong.
Bei Quan didn’t want to make too much noise. He had to put his arm against Wei Fuyuan’s shoulder and managed to push the person away with difficulty.
“Sorry…”
Bei Quan licked his red, swollen, and numb lips, tasting blood.
“…… I can’t respond to your feelings.”

“That’s it, Xiao Wei will be gone at the end of the month.”
While unpacking the takeout package at the table, Bei Quan said to the people at the table, “I ordered more dishes for dinner today, this will be regarded as Xiao Wei’s resignation banquet.”
Wei Fuyuan sat farthest from Bei Quan and turned his head without saying a word.
Zhu Ling and Tian Jia Xin, who rarely appeared at the dinner table, didn’t say anything. Zhu Ling looked indifferent, while Tian Jia Xin looked embarrassed and wanted to shrink away under the table.
Only the new comrade Jiang Nan’an seemed unable to read the surging tide on the dinner table. While happily helping to dismantle the takeout, he chatted with Wei Fuyuan, “Hey, you’re leaving next month? Isn’t there only four days left?”
Without self-knowledge on reading the atmosphere, Jiang Nan’an poked Wei Fuyuan’s sore spot, “I heard that you are a student of Fèng Xīngchéng university? That’s my younger brother’s university? Oh, it should be summer vacation now? In fact, you can work for two more months and leave when school starts!”
Jiang paused and slapped his forehead again, “Oh no, you’re a junior, you’ll be doing an internship soon, right? Find a good company? If so, you should probably leave early, after all, the regular company internship experience is more important, you can’t be delayed here ……”
“Pa!”
Wei Fuyuan slapped his chopsticks on the table, stood up with a black face, and didn’t eat any food. He turned and left, and went straight upstairs.
————————
In the next two days, although Wei Fuyuan stayed in the “Sāntúchuān” broadcasting company, he met Bei Quan no more than three times a day.
On the one hand, Wei Fuyuan found it difficult to calm his rage— why should I care about you? You don’t even like me! But, he was undeniably worried about Bei Quan’s injury.
After tossing and turning for a long time, Wei Fuyuan finally couldn’t let go of his mind. He wanted to find an excuse to visit him, but every time he walked to Bei Quan’s room door, he bumped into Zhu Ling or Tian Jia Xin.
The former never gave him a good face, while the latter always smiled and told him that Bei Quan had fallen asleep after drinking medicine.
There was nothing he could do, Wei Fuyuan could only pretend that nothing happened, turn back the way he came and return to his small attic.
After two days, Young Master Wei, who had never been so aggrieved before, felt like an over-inflated hydrogen balloon, as long as there was a little spark, he would explode on the spot.
On July 29th, at 11:55 p.m., it was finally time for the rebroadcast of [Thriller Night Talk], which had been suspended for a week.
This time, in addition to Bei Quan and Wei Fuyuan, Jiang Nan’an was also on the scene.
If there was no accident, this time should be Wei Fuyuan’s last time to participate in the broadcast of [Thriller Night Talk].
Before the broadcast, Bei Quan smiled at Wei Fuyuan as if nothing had happened between them. He assigned him the task of “bringing new people” and asked Jiang Nan’an to sit in front of the general control console with Wei Fuyuan to help him get familiar with the situation.
Wei Fuyuan stared at Bei Quan’s smiling face, but although he was boiling with anger, he couldn’t burst out. He could only sit in front of the main control console like a pufferfish, suppress it, and turn the equipment switch on for Bei Quan.
