[CFCS] Chapter 178
Arc 12.16 - Life of Music
Translated by guilty
Ji Xiao had already had a heart transplant surgery, but he pretended to suffer a heart attack during the game and told a miserable story on the live broadcast.
Now that the truth had been revealed, those who had sympathized with him and cast sympathy votes for him were the ones who had felt the most slapped. No one enjoys the feeling of being tricked and used. Furthermore, those people had become almost a laughingstock on the Internet, and they naturally disliked Ji Xiao even more, various nasty and swear words were said.
On the Internet, there was a lot of tension. Ji family tried a variety of methods, but none of them were successful in removing the negative effects of this on Ji Xiao. But, because Ji Xiao was adamant about not giving up his dream of becoming a singer, the Ji family had no choice but to keep trying to find a solution.
When Liu Hang first saw the news, he couldn't believe what he was hearing. He believed Ji Xiao was being falsely accused. However, when he asked someone to investigate who was framing Ji Xiao, the outcome was that everything in the news was true.
Liu Hang had to face the fact that Ji Xiao had deceived him. So all he did for him, like breaking up with Chu Yang, suppressing and hurting Chu Yang, was simply being used as a tool for Ji Xiao in the end.
Liu Hang went from denial to sadness for himself to the rage he felt at being taken advantage of and duped. This caused him to lose control of his emotions, and he felt compelled to seek Ji Xiao to clarify things.
Ji Xiao locked himself in his room after the incident was published on the Internet. He didn't dare to leave the house, and he didn't dare to go online. He put himself under hypnosis, things would pass quickly, and he would be able to continue walking down the road he desires and living the life he desires.
Ji Xiao was sitting on the bed, wrapped in a blanket, when he was startled by a knock at the door. No matter how hard the people on the Internet scolded him, it was impossible for them to rush to his home and treat him like that. He relaxed a little and rose from his bed to open the door.
Ji Xiao pushed open the door a bit, glanced out at the housekeeper, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Mr. Liu Hang said he wanted to see you," said the housekeeper.
Ji Xiao was taken aback for a moment, but he knew Liu Hang would eventually find him. He must have shown up to confront him about his heart condition. He hadn't figured out how to tell him, so he couldn't see him right now.
"Tell him to leave; I'm not feeling well and don't want to see him right now." Ji Xiao expressed his thoughts.
"But..." The maid turned around and glanced back with some hesitation.
When Ji Xiao was about to close the door, it was pushed open by a force larger than his.
The door slammed against Ji Xiao, who took a few steps back. He rubbed the shoulder that had been smacked by the door and stared at Liu Hang, who strode in with a face full of anger.
With his backhand, Liu Hang shut the door, looked at Ji Xiao, and said, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
Ji Xiao, unable to look him in the eyes, turned around and said, "You must already know what you should know. I have nothing to say. You can go. I don't want to see you right now."
"You have nothing to say to me, but I have plenty of questions for you. I won't leave if you don't tell me clearly." Liu Hang locked his gaze on him, controlling his rage.
Ji Xiao kept quiet since he had already guessed what he was going to ask.
"Why are you lying to me?" Liu Hang clenched his teeth and asked, word by word, what he really wanted to know.
Ji Xiao couldn't think of a reason for Liu Hang to forgive him, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Because I love you, and because I am jealous of Chu Yang. No matter what method I use, I want to snatch you from Chu Yang."
"You know how much I love him, but you're really selfish to break us up this way!" Liu Hang wished he could turn back time. If he had a second chance, he would never have chosen to break up with Chu Yang.
"How about me?" Ji Xiao looked at him and asked, "Why did you break up with Chu Yang just because I couldn't live for another two years and then stay with me if you don't have any feelings for me?"
"Because I sympathize with you!" Liu Hang shouted at him. "For the sake of our friendship for so many years, I thought you wouldn't survive after two years, so I want to help you achieve all your dreams and leave this world without any regrets, not because I have other feelings for you!"
"So you only have a relationship with me because you sympathize with me?" Ji Xiao asked, tears in his eyes. "Are the words you said to me about loving me only out of sympathy? Are the things you have done for me solely out of sympathy?!"
Liu Hang's hand was gripped firmly. He was about to reject Ji Xiao, but his heart wouldn't let him. When he was with Ji Xiao, he did have some feelings that had nothing to do with sympathy, but he wouldn't admit it now.
"That's right!" Liu Hang stated flatly. "Everything I do to you is out of sympathy. I have a clear conscience, and I have done everything that should be done and everything that should not be done. But what about you? You're using me from the start! When you say you love me, don't you merely use me to fulfill your selfish desires?"
Ji Xiao's eyes welled up with tears. Although he used Liu Hang's sympathy for him to convince him to end his relationship with Chu Yang, the last thing he wanted to hear was that Liu Hang had no other feelings for him than sympathy.
"I'm sorry; I shouldn't have lied to you, and I shouldn't have used you." Ji Xiao approached Liu Hang, grasped his hand, and asked. "You actually care about me, don't you? Even if you don't love me as much as you love Chu Yang, you must have a special place in your heart for me, right?"
Liu Hang clenched his teeth and remained silent, refusing to respond to Ji Xiao's question.
"Please tell me you love me too, oaky?" Ji Xiao said in a pleading tone, as long as he receives confirmation from Liu Hang that he loved him in his heart, everything else would go well.
"I don't love you!" Liu Hang finally spoke up. "I've never loved you. The only person I love is Chu Yang."
"We no longer have a relationship as of today. I'm going to break up with you publicly and reveal the reasons for our past relationship." Liu Hang shook Ji Xiao's hand and walked out.
When Liu Hang threw Ji Xiao away, his eyes darkened and he nearly fell. He couldn't stand what Liu Hang had just said, and he didn't want to end their relationship like this. Looking at the back of Liu Hang's resolute departure, Ji Xiao chased after him regardless.
"Please, Liu Hang, don't go! You can't break up with me, and you certainly can't make it public!" Ji Xiao caught up with Liu Hang on the steps and stretched out to grab his arm, preventing him from leaving. "Don't forget, if you break up with me, I'll let my father withdraw his investment and shares in your family's business immediately!"
Liu Hang was not only enraged but also humiliated when he heard Ji Xiao's threat. He shook his hand firmly since he didn't want to be involved with Ji Xiao any longer.
Ji Xiao was tossed by Liu Hang because his hold was too tight and his strength was not as good as Liu Hang's. He instantly rolled down the steps unsteadily.
Ji Xiao tumbled fast to the living room floor. His head slammed the handrail railing numerous times as he tumbled down. He passed out as soon as he rolled to the floor.
When Ji Xiao rolled down the stairs, Liu Hang was shocked as well. He hurried downstairs, nervously looking at Ji Xiao, who was laying on the ground with his eyes closed, and he hesitated to help him. When he remembered how Ji Xiao had fooled and threatened him earlier, he realized that perhaps this was just another trick Ji Xiao had used to gain sympathy.
Liu Hang only paused for a second before walking away without looking back. He thought that whether Ji Xiao passed out or pretended to pass out had nothing to do with him. What he needed to do now was make his breakup with Ji Xiao public, and then figured out a method to rekindle his relationship with Chu Yang.
This time, Ji Xiao was knocked out completely, and Liu Hang walked away without a care in the world. Not long later, his housekeeper saw him lying on the ground, and after discovering that he couldn't wake up no matter how hard he tried, the housekeeper called an ambulance and had him taken to the hospital.

Jing Yang surfed the internet for a bit after waking up from his nap, and he became thirsty, so he got up to pour water.
Just as he was going to turn around after pouring the water, his eyes suddenly became dark, and his head felt dizzy. Jing Yang quickly stopped, closed his eyes, and waited for the dizziness to pass. But, without even opening his eyes, a series of images appeared.
Jing Yang was baffled as to why he was having hallucinations and immediately opened his eyes, but the image in his head would not vanish.
Looking at the surrounding scenery, it should be obvious that this was a scene from ancient times. Because the image didn't go away, he tried to divert his attention by focusing on the illusion that emerged in front of him, hoping that it would be useful.
When Jing Yang turned around, he noticed a young man in a red wide-sleeved robe, or perhaps a teenager. Although he couldn't tell his age, his face was breathtakingly beautiful.
A white-clothed youth stood in front of the red-clothed youth. The white-clothed youth's face should have been pretty good, but it was currently full of hideous smiles.
Suddenly, the white-clothed youth drew the knife from his sleeve and charged towards the red-clothed youth, who stood motionless, gazing helplessly as the white-clothed youth charged towards him.
Jing Yang had no idea why, but he felt anxious to rush over and push the red-clothed youth away. But as he ran over, he merged with the red-clothed youth, and Jing Yang witnessed the knife being thrust into his body directly.
Jing Yang felt a sharp pain in his stomach, and the water glass slipped from his grip, soaking a huge area of the carpet. He held his stomach and collapsed weakly to the ground.
The white-clothed youth opened his mouth and said something, but Jing Yang couldn't hear anything and the image faded away. Jing Yang thought he was about to leave the illusion in front of him. However, as his eyes darkened, his mind began to lose consciousness and eventually passed out.
Gu Mang, who was in the study dealing with some important matters, felt anxious in his heart. This kind of uneasiness, which made him fear, was unlike anything he'd ever experienced. He stood up and walked out of the study after closing the computer. He didn't know why, but he had the feeling that his fear and worry would go away if he saw Jing Yang immediately.
Gu Mang pushed open the door, found Jing Yang lying on the floor, and rushed over in a panic to pick him up and hold him in his arms. "Chu Yang? Chu Yang?"
Jing Yang felt sleepy and wanted to sleep, but he thought he heard Gu Mang calling to him. Gu Mang's voice was agitated and worried, as if there was something really important that needed him to wake up.
Jing Yang tried to open his eyes because he heard Gu Mang calling him, and he looked at a worried Gu Mang and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Mang was somewhat relieved this time when he saw Jing Yang awake, but his heart continued to beat rapidly, "Why are you lying down here?"
"I...," Jing Yang began to remember why he was lying on the ground. "I'd want to pour myself a glass of water, after I've poured the water, then..."
Jing Yang paused, recalling the scene he had just witnessed.
"What happened after that?" Gu Mang hurriedly asked, "Did you feel sick all of a sudden? I'll take you to the hospital for an examination."
"There's no need." Jing Yang shook his head and said.
"I wasn't in any pain; I just wanted to sleep. I wanted to go to bed, but I couldn't wait, so I went straight to the ground." Jing Yang said.
Gu Mang was well aware that Jing Yang was always drowsy. He had previously taken him to the hospital for an examination, and found no abnormalities with his health. However, when he noticed a large puddle of water on the carpet, he believed Jing Yang had passed out rather than fallen asleep, and he was still very worried.
"Take me to bed." Jing Yang let out a yawn. "I don't want to go anywhere else right now; I just want to sleep. I'll be angry if you don't let me sleep."
Gu Mang had no choice but to pull Jing Yang up, place him on the bed to help him in covering the blanket, and sit on the edge of the bed watching him, but Jing Yang fell asleep again soon after.
