During the time the masters were already sleeping and resting, the servants were quietly cleaning and tidying up the house. Suddenly they saw Meng Yang running downstairs barefoot while Luo Xiu chased him from behind. The servants were all frightened and stunned, not sure what had happened.

Meng Yang ran into the flower room, but before he could close the door, he was hugged by Luo Xiu.

"Let go of me!" Meng Yang struggled to push Luo Xiu away.

Luo Xiu picked Meng Yang up and walked in, closing the door of the flower room. After walking to the edge of the sofa bed, Luo Xiu threw Meng Yang on it and pressed him hard.

"Let go of me!" Meng Yang still wanted to struggle, but Luo Xiu pressed on his body and held his hands so he could not move.

Looking at Meng Yang's tear-stained face, Luo Xiu kissed him forcefully.

Meng Yang's lips and tongue were hurt by him. This was the first time Luo Xiu kissed him so roughly, it was a kiss and a bite. Meng Yang began to get confused due to the lack of oxygen, making his body gradually soften, unable to exert any strength.

Hugging him in his arms, Luo Xiu lifted his pyjamas, and slapped his butt hard three times, making a crisp sound.

"Are you still running?" Luo Xiu asked, looking at Meng Yang sternly.

Meng Yang was terrified. He felt the hot pain in the place where he was beaten. He looked at Luo Xiu, not daring to speak. This was the first time he saw Luo Xiu being so fierce to him, making him feel a little scared in his heart.

"Do you really think I'm not gonna teach you a lesson when you make a mistake?!" Luo Xiu scolded angrily.

With tears in his eyes, Meng Yang looked at Luo Xiu with grievance that he wanted to cry but didn't dare to.

"Do you know how dangerous racing a car is? Do you know how many people were injured or even died because of car racing?!" Sitting up, Luo Xiu made Meng Yang sit face to face with him, then continued to teach: "Do you know what I felt when I saw you racing with people in such a dangerous way? If you got injured, how uncomfortable would my heart be? You must know all this, you must surely know it in your heart, but you still did it. And you even did it secretly without telling me! If something happened to you without my knowledge, how do you want me to live and what will the child do?!"

"I'm sorry." Meng Yang apologized with tears. He was indeed a bit selfish. He only wanted to accomplish things he could not do in his previous life. He didn't think how uncomfortable Luo Xiu would be if he really had an accident or injury. When Luo Xiu was indifferent to him because of his anger, he realized that he had done something wrong, so he hoped that Luo Xiu would scold him and teach him so that he would feel better. He did not want to fight Luo Xiu coldly, that way he would feel scared in his heart, so in the end, Luo Xiu compromised first.

Meng Yang knelt on the sofa and straightened up. Hugging Luo Xiu while sobbing he promised, "I'll never drive again, and I'll never throw away my bodyguard to do anything. I promise. You believe me again this time. If I commit another crime, you can lock me up."

Hugging Meng Yang in his arms, Luo Xiu sighed in his heart. He still felt scared. He really couldn't imagine how he would survive if something happened to Meng Yang. This was the most unbearable and the most unwilling thing to bear in his life.

"Do you know you were wrong?" Luo Xiu asked.

"I know it was wrong." Meng Yang replied, sobbing.

Luo Xiu had never imagined that such a docile and well-behaved person still had the character of a small wild horse in his heart. He secretly practised and raced cars behind his back. Although he had to admit that Meng Yang's driving skills are indeed very good, comparable to those of professional drivers. But the way he drove was almost extreme, and it really made him furious and terrified.

"This is not your first offence, it's just that I discovered it only now. If I have not discovered you, you were probably going to hide it from me for the rest of your life, right?!" Asking Meng Yang to sit down, Luo Xiu questioned looking into his eyes.

Meng Yang lowered his head with a guilty conscience.

"In the future, unless you are at home, as long as you go out, you can't leave the sight of bodyguards and assistants." Luo Xiu previously hoped that while ensuring Meng Yang's safety, he would try his best to give him private space instead of letting him be monitored at all times like a prisoner. But he really didn't expect that Meng Yang would use the space he gave him to throw away his bodyguards and assistants, and do such dangerous things.

Knowing he was wrong, Meng Yang didn't dare to refute or say he didn't want to, so he could only obediently agree.

Looking at Meng Yang's well-behaved appearance, Luo Xiu felt helpless and angry. But he loved him to the extreme, so he hugged him and kissed him carefully.

The two fell on the sofa bed. Holding Luo Xiu's shoulders, Meng Yang raised his head to whisper, "There is no 'raincoat' here."

"If you don't have it, then there won't be." Luo Xiu thought he wouldn't be hit by a coincidence.

…

…

The next day, Meng Yang woke up on the big bed in his and Luo Xiu's bedroom. Luo Xiu had gone to the company early in the morning. He woke up later today because he cried and made trouble last night.

After Meng Yang got up and washed, he asked the babysitter to bring the child over. He touched his buttocks. The place where Luo Xiu hit yesterday was still a little painful. He didn't want to go out today. So he rested at home honestly and thought about it behind closed doors.

Lu Yunjing and Xiao Ke also specifically called to ask him if he had quarrelled with Luo Xiu. Meng Yang only said he had been scolded, as he was ashamed to say that he, a full-grown adult, was spanked as a child.

Throughout the morning, Meng Yang only drank a glass of milk and two bites of a muffin. Because he blamed himself and felt uncomfortable, he couldn't eat anything. He wanted Luo Xiu to hug him. After thinking about it, Meng Yang went to Luo Xiu's company to find him.

After entering Luo Xiu's office, Meng Yang asked the nanny to carry the child to the lounge. He sat down opposite Luo Xiu, then laid down on the desk.

"Aren't there classes in the afternoon? Why didn't you go to school?" Luo Xiu asked.

"My butt hurts, I don't want to go to class." Meng Yang looked at him with pitiful eyes. He didn't know if he wasn't angry anymore. Nevertheless, he pretended to be pitiful.

Glancing at Meng Yang, Luo Xiu sighed helplessly. He originally thought Meng Yang's heart was much more mature than those of his age. Without the impetuousness, aggression and rebelliousness of young people. He didn't expect that he had just buried his rebellious heart deeper, and even lied to it. But what could be done? He married someone who could be his own son as his wife, and that someone became the one he loves deeply. So sometimes he needed to treat him as a son to raise, spoil him when he should be spoiled, and teach hard when he should be taught. However, in the end, after the lesson was over, it was he himself who felt distressed.

"Come here for me to have a look." Luo Xiu said.

Meng Yang got up and walked around the desk to Luo Xiu's side. Leaning into Luo Xiu's arms, he hugged him tightly before asking, "Are you still angry?"

"Do you think I should be angry?" Holding him, Luo Xiu asked back.

"You should be angry, but..." Looking at him, Meng Yang replied, "You can scold me, beat me, and teach me, but don't ignore me, I'll be afraid."

Luo Xiu stated: "You are not allowed to do anything dangerous in the future, otherwise I'll really lock you at home and forbid you to leave the main house for half a step."

"Um." Meng Yang replied softly.

"Have you had lunch?" Luo Xiu asked, kissing his forehead.

"No..." Meng Yang whispered, "I don't want to eat, I have no appetite."

"How about breakfast? Have you eaten it?" Luo Xiu asked again.

"Drank milk and ate two bites of muffins." Meng Yang reported truthfully to Luo Xiu. Now he dares not to lie in front of Luo Xiu at all.

Picking up the phone, Luo Xiu asked the secretary to bring a bowl of seafood porridge.

When the seafood porridge was delivered, Meng Yang refused to eat it. He only said he had no appetite and couldn't eat it. But after Luo Xiu coaxed him, he ate a small bowl.

Lying in Luo Xiu's arms, Meng Yang was reluctant to move. He knew that for a person with a personality like Luo Xiu's, he was not a person who would easily get angry. But once he gets angry, he will definitely not calm down in a short time. However, even if he knew Luo Xiu was still angry, he had to hold Luo Xiu to be able to feel at ease, otherwise, he would feel scared.

So Luo Xiu held Meng Yang while viewing the computer screen to deal with various things, feeling the sensation of having Meng Yang in his arms.

In the evening, Luo Xiu took Meng Yang and their child home. After putting the child to sleep, Meng Yang sat on the bed waiting for Luo Xiu.

When Luo Xiu came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, he saw Meng Yang sitting on the bed looking at him in a well-behaved manner. This made Luo Xiu feel distressed and helpless because he knew Meng Yang was truly scared.

Sitting down in front of Meng Yang, Luo Xiu gently stroked his face. He still looked so small, not like someone who had given birth to a child.

Luo Xiu thought; because Meng Yang was still so young, he was at the age where he was prone to impulsive mistakes and would do things without considering the consequences. Because of the birth of their child, he had forgotten the fact that Meng Yang was actually a child, and at most he was half mature and actually haven't fully grown up yet.

Meng Yang straddled Luo Xiu's lap, wrapped his arms around his neck then kissed him.

So now, Luo Xiu was convinced. Now, as a husband and parent, he had the responsibility and obligation to teach him well. If he was not sensible, then he would teach him to be sensible. Just being angry wouldn't solve the problem. From now on, he would teach him well, let him know what could be done and what couldn't be done.

The next day Meng Yang went to school for class. The initial bodyguard and assistant have now changed into a group of people, and he obviously felt that the assistant was following him tighter. But who made him deceive them first and lose his credibility?

Cheng Sheng hadn't told others it was Meng Yang who won against him in the car race, as it didn't make sense. No matter who won against him, he was the one who lost. There was nothing worth promoting. If he let others know it was Meng Yang who won against him, he, on the contrary, would have no face, so he could only swallow this anger and bear it himself.

He had now returned to Cheng's house and was following his uncle to learn how to manage company affairs under the guidance of his grandfather. He must rely on his own ability to obtain everything he wants, regardless of any means.

The reason Cheng Sheng returned to the Cheng family was because elder Cheng felt it was a pity to give up on him like this after he had worked so hard to train him for so many years. Moreover, Elder Cheng's other grandchildren were not as good as Cheng Sheng in every aspect. So Elder Cheng thought that even if Cheng Sheng does not have the right to inherit, he could continue to train and help to manage the company in the future.

Once again, Meng Yang began his busy life of studying hard and taking care of his child.

The school and the branch would organize students to go to Quyao County during the summer vacation. It wouldn't matter if Meng Yang did not participate in the competition's training, but because there were some important spices that needed to be purchased, the Aromatherapy branch hoped Meng Yang would definitely go.

This time, Meng Yang agreed. Because he felt it was time to face the fear in his heart and he should not procrastinate anymore. Meng Yang felt he had enough courage to face it now, and he was fearless in his heart.

But as time went by, as long as Meng Yang thought he would be going to Quyao County, he would start to be distracted and lose his spirit. Although he didn't have nightmares anymore, he would still have an inexplicable panic in his heart.

When Luo Xiu walked into the flower room, he saw Meng Yang sitting on the sofa in a daze. He was about to walk over and sit down. However, when he saw tears on Meng Yang's face, he rushed over in shock.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Holding Meng Yang's arm, Luo Xiu raised his chin to look at his face.

"You're back?" Coming back to his senses, Meng Yang asked, "What time is it?"

"I came back at noon. We had lunch together, then I went to the study to do some work. Did you forget?" Looking at Meng Yang's confused look, Luo Xiu's heart became even more worried.

"I think I was too engrossed in something, so I didn't react at all." Meng Yang spoke with a smile.

"So what made you want to cry?" Wiping Meng Yang's tears with his thumb, Luo Xiu hugged him while once again speaking, "Forget it, no matter what it is, don't think about it anymore. I won't ask again."

"Am I crying?" Meng Yang looked puzzled and touched his face with his hand. After thinking for a while, he spoke: "Maybe I forgot to blink my eyes for a while, so the tears came down? I didn't think of anything sad."

He really wasn't thinking about anything sad, just planning for things to learn while thinking about what to do when he went to Quyao County. He didn't feel sad, and he didn't know why he was in tears.

Hugging Meng Yang, Luo Xiu kissed his forehead, "You might be too tired recently. Let's rest for a few days."

Instead of answering him, Meng Yang asked, "The school and the aromatherapy branch will let me go to Quyao County during the summer vacation. Will you accompany me to go there? Just take a vacation and rest."

"Okay." Luo Xiu immediately agreed. How could he refuse the request made by Meng Yang himself?

Meng Yang held Luo Xiu leaning his head on his shoulder, thinking; as long as Luo Xiu was with him, he would be able to overcome all fears.

Because the child is still young, there was the possibility of easily getting contaminated with colds and fever. As there were many helpers in the main house, and they often had to do health checks, there were three doctors and six nurses living in the main house, and all kinds of equipment were also there. Seeing Meng Yang had no energy, Luo Xiu asked the doctor to check on him. After giving Meng Yang a checkup, the doctor said that he might be too tired and was not sick.

Luo Xiu asked Meng Yang to rest at home, so Meng Yang did not go out the next day. While playing with his child, he received a call from Franson.

According to Franson, Kay's mental condition was not very good, so he hoped Meng Yang could pass by and use aromatherapy to help him in adjuvant treatment. Because his own mental state was not very good, Meng Yang rejected him with the excuse of how his schedule was full. Telling him he would go abroad to see Kay's situation after he returned from Quyao County.

Franson repeatedly asked, again and again, hoping he could spare a little time and go there as soon as possible. After his call, Kay's parents and Korch also called him separately, saying they hoped he could help Kay for treatment.

Meng Yang couldn't help but think how after one success, he had been able to gain a lot of trust. He relied on the aromatherapy formula of his ancestors to wake Kay from the coma and now Kay's parents and Franson, all came up with the idea that he must also have a way to solve Kay's psychological problems, forgetting how he was just a student. Since Kay's physical condition was special, he needed to be very careful to treat him. So he still refused them as he was not in a good state and didn't want to put any more pressure on himself.

Although Meng Yang refused several times, Franson and Kay's parents called him again and again to plead and persuade him, saying they wanted to come to his country to have a meetup with him. Even Celsey called him saying he hoped Meng Yang could help Kay.

While Meng Yang was still hesitant to go, Lin Songtai suddenly told him that the school would arrange the first batch of exchange students to study psychology abroad and asked him if he wanted to go together. Meng Yang couldn't help but suspect how there could be such a coincidence. After telling this to Luo Xiu, Luo Xiu checked on it with his friends abroad, and it turned out that Franson had arranged it in order to get him to treat Kay.

In fact, Meng Yang could still refuse. As he had been studying abroad for more than a month, it was okay for him not to go this time. However, after thinking about the lengths Franson had taken for Kay, and Celsey who had called him several times to ask, Meng Yang decided he would just go see Kay's condition. If he could help, he would, if he couldn't, he would just refuse.

Except for Meng Yang, the first batch of exchange students to go abroad had only ten places, all recommended by the Masters.

As Luo Xiu's company had something urgent, he couldn't accompany Meng Yang to go abroad right away. Due to this, Meng Yang decided to go and see the situation first, so he went abroad alone without taking their child.

Because there were only a dozen people, the students got the chance to travel abroad on Luo Xiu's private plane with Meng Yang.

"It turns out private jets look like this." After looking around for a long time, Wu Feng spoke after sitting down.

"What did you think it looked like?" Meng Yang asked with a smile.

"Actually, it's not much different from what I imagined." Wu Feng answered: "It's this luxurious and comfortable feeling, the layout similar to a living room. Plus it's the first time I took a private jet. So if I don't sigh, I always feel like something is missing in my heart..."

Meng Yang smiled again.

After the plane took off, the staff brought fruit plates and various desserts.

Picking up a cup of caramel pudding, Meng Yang ate it with a spoon while chatting with Wu Feng and the others.

Yu Junchen sat on the sofa by the window, staring out in a daze. Although the staff put the fruit dessert on the table in front of him, he didn't move at all.

He kept thinking in his heart how he originally thought that in order to achieve his goal, he could do anything and give up everything he thought was important before. But now he seems to be getting farther and farther away from his goal. After he committed the big mistake which made him fall into the greatest confusion in his life, he didn't know how to go back afterwards.

While Meng Yang was talking with Wu Feng and the others, he turned his head to glance at Yu Junchen. Yu Junchen was now in a very different state from before. The whole figure seems to be covered by a shadow, and occasionally he could see the despair in his eyes. Meng Yang knew what he was going through to become like this, but it was all his own choice, it could only be said to be self-reliant. Meng Yang felt that perhaps now he didn't need to act at all, and Yu Junchen would get punished by himself.

Franson personally came to pick them up in person and took Meng Yang and his classmates to his home. If everyone else was staying in the hotel, Meng Yang would definitely have to go back to the hotel from time to time, it would be inconvenient to go back and forth. Since Franson's home was enormous, with several unoccupied buildings, plus it's close to the school he brought everyone there. It only took 20 minutes to walk.

After arriving at Franson's mansion, Meng Yang saw the person he least wanted to see.

"Mr Franson." Seeing them coming in, Cheng Kang and Cheng Sheng* both stood up to greet Franson.

[TN:* Since it's been a little while, It's Luo Sheng we are talking about here.]

When Cheng Sheng and Cheng Kang saw Meng Yang and the students, they were a little surprised. After Cheng Sheng saw Yu Junchen, the two looked at each other for a while, their moods very complicated. Yu Junchen turned away and hid behind the other classmates, no longer seeing Cheng Sheng.

Franson's uncle was sitting on the sofa. He took the benefits of Cheng Kang and brought them in. Franson glanced at his uncle, then looked at Cheng Kang before saying, "Mr Cheng, I think I have made it clear that I have no intentions or ideas to cooperate with you."

"I'm not here today to discuss cooperation with Mr Franson, I have something Mr Franson will definitely be interested in." Cheng Kang responded.

"Sorry, there's an important guest at home today. Forgive me for not being able to entertain you, Mr Cheng. Please go back. Butler, send off Mr Cheng for me." Turning back to Meng Yang, Franson signalled him to go inside with him to see Kay.

"Mr Frenson..." Cheng Kang called out unwillingly, but Franson ignored him.

The maid took the others to the building where they were arranged to live.

After Cheng Sheng got in the car, his eyes became complicated and ruthless. The complexity was due to seeing Yu Junchen, and the ruthlessness was because he saw Meng Yang.

The reason why he agreed to return to Cheng's house was because he knew that now, Yu Junchen was with someone else, and he was ready to cheer up and snatch Yu Junchen back. In fact, strictly speaking, Yu Junchen was not even with that person at all but was taken care of by that person. His grandfather and uncle persuaded him to give up Yu Junchen. And in the current situation of the Cheng family, he could not provoke that person again.

Cheng Kang coldly said, "Franson doesn't seem to want to cooperate with us anyway. I didn't expect Meng Yang to be so capable, directly affecting our plan. Your vision is really bad enough, so stupid to give up someone who can really help you for the sake of Yu Junchen."

Cheng Sheng came back to his senses. He did not regret giving up Meng Yang to choose Yu Junchen. Not to love was not to love, but Yu Junchen's betrayal really made his heart very painful.

"Now that Franson is blocked, I think it's better to give it a go." Cheng Sheng answered with gloomy eyes.

"How can you give it a go?" Cheng Kang asked.

"By kidnapping Meng Yang and using him as a hostage, all the problems facing the Cheng family can be solved."

"Kidnapping Meng Yang?" Cheng Kang spoke after a moment of being dumbfounded: "He is indeed Luo Xiu's biggest weakness, but because of this, the probability of successfully kidnapping him is too low. Didn't you see those bodyguards just now? They are all with a murderous aura. They must have been mercenaries before. How could someone like Luo Xiu let others easily touch his weakness?"

"The possibility of success is tiny, but it is not completely impossible. If it succeeds, it may be able to completely destroy the entire Luo Group, so it is worth taking a risk." Cheng Sheng answered viciously.

The Luo Group was in the hands of Luo Xiu, and if he got control of Meng Yang's life, he could control Luo Xiu and destroying Luo's group becomes a breeze.

Cheng Kang fell into deep thought because of Cheng Sheng's words. The Cheng family had done too many unscrupulous things, but if they were unsuccessful this time, they would probably be beaten back, but it was also certain that there was only one solution worth trying.

Meng Yang stood outside the glass partition, looking at Kay who was sitting on the sofa inside. His eyes had a very obvious melancholy look, and his face was pale and bloodless. His eye sockets were sunken, even more than when he was unconscious and he looked even more haggard.

This glass partition was made to be able to see the inside from the outside, but the outside cannot be seen from the inside.

After Kay woke up, his parents and Franson tried their best to avoid disputes. At least in front of Kay, they were already able to get along well. His parents had given in, saying nothing more against him being with Franson, and had told him that they would discuss anything as long as he got better. As things were, Kay should be getting better every day, but his psychological problems were getting worse.

About half an hour later, Devik and Korch also came, and they told Meng Yang the main reason for inviting him to assist in the treatment.

"Kay's physical constitution is special, and the side effects of Western medicine are great. We changed a lot of medicines for him, but he only vomited and had diarrhoea for each medicine, so now we can only try aromatherapy." Devik stated.

Meng Yang looked at Korch asking, "The reason why his psychological problems have become more serious is because of the psychological shadow and psychological trauma that was left behind when he was attacked?"

"This should be most of the reason. He's awakened by nightmares every night and often loses control of his emotions. Before the accident, he had mild depression and autism. Now his depression is more serious. I tried to communicate with him, but he was very resistant and even reluctant to speak. This is the biggest problem. "Korch answered.

"The most important thing for psychological problems is to talk and communicate. If even you can't make him speak for the time being, then I will definitely not be able to do it." Meng Yang responded, "But I can give a period of aromatherapy to see if I can let him recover a little bit."

Both Devik and Korch nodded, as now, they could only do so.

Kay grew up weak and sick and was an only child. His parents were too strict with him to protect him. He was very weak in his heart. He had a certain degree of depression before, and he liked to hide everything in his heart. Naturally, he was very resistant to psychotherapy.

So after discussing with Korch, Devic agreed that it might be better to let Franson take Kay back for treatment at home.

Franson took Meng Yang and the others in to meet Kay.

"This is the Meng Yang I told you about." Franson introduced Kay: "He is here to treat you specifically. Someone had a similar condition to you before, and he cured it."

"Thank you for waking me up." Kay sincerely thanked Meng Yang: "I wanted to thank you in person, but there was no chance. I had to wait until you came to treat me again before thanking you. I'm really sorry."

"It's okay." Meng Yang spoke with a smile.

Although Kay was very weak, he looked very polite and educated. Meng Yang couldn't imagine what it would be like when he was to lose control of his emotions.

"Kay, Meng Yang is very experienced in treating the symptoms of insomnia and nightmares." Korch said to Kay: "In their country, many rich people spend a lot of money to ask him to help treat insomnia. Up to now, he has no record of failure, so as long as you can cooperate with him in the treatment, you will definitely be able to get rid of the entanglement of nightmares."

Glancing at Meng Yang, Kay nodded before saying, "Thank you for the trouble."

Korch was telling the truth, but he also wanted to give Kay more confidence, hoping he could work hard to control his emotions and actively cooperate with the treatment.

Meng Yang carefully observed Kay's expression. He noticed that after hearing Korch's words, not only did Kay not feel the slightest joy but there was even a flash of resistance.

Franson helped Kay back to the room. There were private doctors and nurses, both of whom Franson had invited, and everything that should be prepared was ready.

After Meng Yang had prepared all the herbs he had brought, he went to Kay's room with the assistant and was going to give him the first session of aromatherapy. The nurse was already waiting in Kay's room.

When Meng Yang entered Kay's room, his assistants followed him. One of the assistants walked in pushing a cart with medicine.

Helping Kay get up from the sofa, Franson was about to take him into the bathroom, but Kay suddenly trembled.

"Kay, Kay?!" Franson called out in a panic while hugging Kay.

The nurses were about to pass, but Kay broke free of Franson suddenly and rushed towards the cart, sweeping down everything on the cart, pushing the cart down.

"Kay!" Franson wanted to hug Kay, but as Kay was struggling too fiercely, he didn't dare or bear to use too much force, worrying that too much force would hurt him.

"Ahhhhhhh!"Ah! Aah! Aah!" Kay yelled and struggled like crazy, and several nurses came to help. After he was given a tranquillizer, he finally became soft in Franson's arms.

When Kay rushed to the trolley, the assistants had already protected Meng Yang back quickly and then blocked Meng Yang behind him. And Meng Yang was very calm, carefully observing Kay's crazy expression, as well as all his actions. Kay's emotional out of control look was really different from what he seemed at normal times, but Meng Yang also saw some other things, which made him fall into contemplation and thought of a possibility.

Picking up Kay, Franson put it on the bed. He knelt by the bed and held Kay's hand. He was so distressed that he couldn't breathe smoothly. He really regretted it. The countless regrets and self-blame made him feel very painful inside. He shouldn't have forced Kay to make a choice. If he didn't break up with Kay and didn't deliberately avoid him, none of this would happen.

The nurse and assistant had already picked up all the medicine that was swept to the floor. Although Kay was given a tranquilizer, the aromatherapy could still proceed.

Franson got up and wiped his face. After walking to Meng Yang, he apologised, "Sorry, he had never done this before. I apologize to you for him."

"It doesn't matter, he is a patient, I can understand." Meng Yang answered.

Meng Yang asked the assistant to push the cart into the bathroom, and Franson also picked up Kay again and carried him to the bathroom.

After the aromatherapy treatment for Kay ended, Meng Yang returned to the room to rest after having dinner. Leaning sideways on the bed, he used a tablet to make a video call with Luo Xiu.

Meng Yang spoke about his situation after he arrived to Luo Xiu. After the two chatted for a while, Meng Yang asked, "Is the baby awake? Let me see him."

"He woke up and now having his milk, I'll bring him over soon." Luo Xiu replied.

After a while, the babysitter brought the child to Luo Xiu. After Luo Xiu took the child, he turned his body so he could look at the computer screen.

"Baby." Meng Yang called out.

When the child heard Meng Yang's voice, he turned his head and looked around to find him.

"Baby look here, look here." Meng Yang shook his palm while speaking, "Dad's here."

"Look here." Gently turning the child's head, pointed to the screen.

Only then did the child see Meng Yang's face on the screen, then froze in a daze.

"Did you miss me?" Meng Yang asked with a smile. It was a bit funny to see the child stunned. He was obviously still such a small person, but now he had a stunned expression.

"Baby?" Meng Yang called out again: "Little Junye?"

The child immediately pounced to the computer screen, as if trying to get into the screen to hug Meng Yang, and drooled a lot on the screen.

"Baby you won't come in." Meng Yang spoke with a smile: "You can meet with Dad soon, don't worry."

Hugging the child back, Luo Xiu wiped off the drool on the screen with a paper towel. As the child could not get close to the screen, his mouth made a sound of dissatisfaction, and his two little hands kept shaking.

Meng Yang teased the child across the screen. The child put his hand on the screen and grabbed it. Perhaps thinking he could meet Meng Yang and want Meng Yang to hug him.

After watching Meng Yang tease the child for a while, Luo Xiu was worried that Meng Yang would be tired, so he let him rest. Giving a nod, Meng Yang kissed the camera before turning off the video. What he didn't know was that, because the child did not succeed in hugging Meng Yang, right when Meng Yang was gone from the screen, he immediately began to cry.

Standing up with the child, Luo Xiu hugged him to coax him. Thinking; I also know you missed your dad, and I was thinking about him too. When I finish dealing with the matter at hand, I'll take you to see him.

After having a shower, Meng Yang went back to bed and started checking the contents of his ancestral book using his laptop. When it was time to fall asleep, Meng Yang couldn't fall asleep because he was in a completely unfamiliar place and Luo Xiu was not by his side. His defensive consciousness made his brain and body unable to relax, so this night, he was doomed to stay awake.

Meng Yang tossed back and forth in bed. The deeper the night, the more disturbed his heart became, and the more he missed Luo Xiu and their child. Sitting up, Meng Yang held his body tightly. Several times he picked up the mobile wanting to call Luo Xiu. But as he didn't want to worry Luo Xiu, he didn't dial the number.

Since he couldn't fall asleep, Meng Yang simply didn't sleep at all. As he wanted to do something else to divert his attention, he kept on playing back the situation when he saw Kay over and over again in his brain as if on a movie screen. Every individual detail, each segment, played, paused, replayed, and replayed, repeatedly studying the whole night.

The next day, while Wu Feng and the others reported to the school, Meng Yang didn't go with them. Because he was going to give Kay aromatherapy therapy, he had to go to school a day or two later.

When Meng Yang walked out of the room after getting ready, the maid came in to inform him that Kay invited him to come over for breakfast.

"Good morning." Meng Yang sat down opposite Kay.

"Good morning." Kay sat on the sofa, squeezed the thin blanket covering his legs with both hands, and spoke with a self-blaming and guilty expression on his face: "I'm so sorry about what happened yesterday, I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Looking into Kay's eyes, Meng Yang answered.

Kay looked up at Meng Yang, but was startled by the way Meng Yang looked at him. He didn't know why Meng Yang looked at him with such eyes. He asked suspiciously: "Why, look at me like this?"

Meng Yang shook his head slowly, then began to eat breakfast.

While having breakfast, Meng Yang observed Kay openly. Compared with how he acted while losing all out on his emotions, Kay seemed to be a completely different person. Meng Yang could see that Kay really felt self-blame for his actions, however, Meng Yang now confirmed some thoughts he had in his heart.

After eating breakfast, the two of them sat in the small living room and watched some relaxing and healing films. Meng Yang didn't sleep well last night as he missed Luo Xiu and his son, so he listlessly accompanied Kay without saying a word.

Kay turned his head to look at Meng Yang from time to time. He thought Meng Yang would say something to him, such as something to unravel him. He had been waiting for Meng Yang to speak, but even until noon, Meng Yang didn't seem to have any interest in wanting to talk, so they both just sat there, without saying a word.

"You don't seem to have much energy. Did you not have any rest last night?" Kay asked. Because Meng Yang kept silent, Kay felt he should say something, otherwise, it would be a bit embarrassing to sit like this.

"I didn't sleep well, I miss my husband and son a little bit." Meng Yang answered with a smile.

"I'm sorry, it's all because of me ..." Kay bowed his head in reproach.

Meng Yang turned his head to glance at him before asking, "Why do you always blame yourself so easily?"

"..." Kay was silent, not willing to speak.

"Actually, I can understand your mood quite well. I have also experienced some things. I've been unable to sleep peacefully because of the fear in my heart. I've had nightmares for a while. As soon as I leave the house and my husband's side, I feel uneasy, so I barely slept last night."

"Aren't you a very good psychiatrist?" Kay asked puzzledly: "Do psychiatrists also have psychological problems?"

"Who told you I was a psychiatrist?" Meng Yang asked him, surprised.

"They... they all say you are great." Kay thought for a while before answering, "Dr Dwick and Dr Korch said, you can get me better. Even Franson said you can solve my nightmares. Celsey also told me you are very powerful, a genius more talented than him, and he also gave me the perfume you mixed. It smells fantastic and I like it very much."

"I'm still just a student. I only have a license for an aromatherapist, not for a psychologist." Meng Yang spoke, "I've only just started studying psychology myself."

"Aromatherapist?" Kay thought for a while before asking, "So you are not a psychologist?"

"You thought I was a psychiatrist and got worried I'll ask you all kinds of questions and guide you to tell me your inner thoughts. That's why you've always been guarded against me, right?" Meng Yang asked.

"..." After being silent for a while, Kay asked: "Then, can you help me solve the problem of nightmares? Franson said you have experience. You've helped many people with insomnia and nightmares before, so as long as I cooperate. You, you can definitely help me heal."

"It depends on whether or not you want it. If you want to be cured, I can cure it, but if you don't want to be cured, then I must be unable to cure it." Meng Yang answered.

"I...Of course, I want to be cured." Kay didn't know why Meng Yang would say something like that.

"Really?" Meng Yang looked into Kay's eyes, "You should be feeling very contradictory in your heart? Nightmares make you feel scared, and the inability to sleep makes you feel very painful and uncomfortable, but in your heart, you don't actually want to get well."

Kay avoided Meng Yang's eyes, "How could I possibly not want to get better?"

"Because you're afraid that after you heal, your parents will continue to oppose you being with Franson and Franson will break up with you again. But in this situation, your parents will back down and Franson will spend more time with you." Meng Yang looked at him seriously before adding: "So you're just faking it because you don't want to receive treatment. But if you go on like this, your body will be completely damaged, and you won't be able to cure it even if you want to."

Kay was frightened by Meng Yang's eyes. He trembled slightly, and wanted to get up and leave, but was pressed back by Meng Yang.

"If you want to be with Franson, there are actually many other ways. Why do you have to choose the most stupid way?"

Looking at Meng Yang's eyes, Kay was almost scared to cry. In fact, Meng Yang's eyes were not fierce, but he didn't know why, he felt particularly scared.

When Franson came in, Kay ran to hug him.

"What's the matter?" Holding Kay, Franson was confused when he found tears in his eyes.

"I don't want it, don't..." Kay shook his head and sobbed, unable to say the whole thing.

"Don't want...?" Franson asked again, puzzled.

"Don't want him, don't want him to treat me, you let him go." Kay cried.

Franson looked at Meng Yang suspiciously and asked, "What happened?"

"You send him back to the room to rest first, I want to talk to you." Meng Yang spoke.

Shaking his head anxiously, Kay begged Franson: "Don't talk, don't talk to him."

"Okay, I know, I won't talk to him." Franson gently patted Kay on the back to comfort him, then put his arms around him and sent him back to the room.

After returning to the room, Kay kept asking Franson to send Meng Yang away. Franson asked him what happened, but he did not get any proper answers. Seeing Kay's emotions losing control again, Franson could only pretend to agree. Making the butler send Meng Yang away immediately.

After Kay fell asleep, Franson went to talk with Meng Yang, and the two talked for more than an hour.

Meng Yang told Franson what had just happened, and after analyzing Kay's situation, he expressed his opinion: "Whether it is aromatherapy or psychotherapy, the most important thing is the person being treated. Whether he wants to get better and is willing to actively work with the treatment. Among the people I have treated, Kay is the only one who does not want to get better and is unwilling to cooperate with the treatment. In this situation, no matter how hard I try, no matter what I give or how good the medicine he uses, it will all be in vain. So now the most important thing is how you address it."

"I'll persuade him to cooperate with the treatment," Franson said immediately.

"You can't persuade him." Meng Yang shook his head, "You have only two choices now to help him. One choice is to give up treatment. Maybe he can figure it out by himself, but the possibility of deterioration is greater, and his body might be completely damaged. If it comes to that stage, it will become impossible to cure. The second choice is for you to simply be ruthless and leave it to me. You can supervise, but you can't show up or interfere."

"You think about it." Meng Yang got up and went back to the room.

The two choices Meng Yang gave made Franson very hesitant and entangled.

During the night when Kay was asleep again, he got awakened from a nightmare again. Franson held his trembling body to comfort him, watching his pale face sweating constantly, he finally made a decision in his heart.

The next morning, Kay was in the dining room, trying to eat breakfast without taking a bite of the meal in front of him. He felt very guilty for driving away Meng Yang.

Meng Yang walked across from him and sat down, saying to him: "Good morning."

Kay looked at Meng Yang with wide eyes in surprise before stammering, "You, why ... are you still here?"

"Mr Frenson and I came to an agreement. So from today, I will be responsible for treating you." Meng Yang looked at him before adding, "The only reason I am willing to stay is that I don't think you're an arrogant, rude person. Otherwise, I would have left immediately. My husband will never allow me to be treated rudely and continue to endure. So, since you still have kindness and upbringing in your heart, I definitely decided to stay and help you."

"I don't need your help, please leave quickly," Kay said with a pleading look at Meng Yang.

Meng Yang spoke earnestly: "Listen well, I came here after getting repeated requests over and over from Franson and your parents, as well as Celsey and others. I am a person with a husband and a child. You can ask Franson who my husband is. His assets are no less than Franson's, so I don't need to do anything for money. And my son is only a few months old and is so far away from me. I can't sleep at night because I miss them. I came here to treat you with the desire to help you, enduring the thoughts and uneasiness of being separated from them. But now, I have to make a trip for nothing because you are not willing to cooperate?"

Meng Yang knew Kay was a kind person with a sense of morality, so he just wanted to use his kindness to morally kidnap him because, in his situation, it would be useless to persuade him and comfort him.

"Look into my eyes." Meng Yang said solemnly.

Kay slowly raised his head to meet Meng Yang's eyes.

"So far, I have no record of failure. If you become my first record of failure, I'll be very angry." Meng Yang looked at him with a stern look: "If I am angry, I'm very likely to retaliate against you, such as going to your parents to expose you, and then persuading them to take you back."

Kay was frightened by Meng Yang's eyes and momentum again, he couldn't help but speak with a trembling voice: "How come there is a psychologist like you? How can you threaten me? It's wrong for you to do this."

"I told you I am not a psychiatrist. I won't communicate with you gently and help you attentively. The purpose of my coming here is to treat you." Meng Yang answered.

"Are all aromatherapists all like this?" Kay asked, looking at Meng Yang.

"Of course not. I don't do this to other people either, because everyone I've treated before actively worked hard to cooperate with the treatment. You are the first one I've encountered who doesn't cooperate with the treatment, so I can only treat you this way." Meng Yang added: "I've said everything that should be said, now let's go for the second aromatherapy."

Kay sat still. He felt Meng Yang was deliberately frightening him. Although he was indeed a little frightened by Meng Yang, he knew Meng Yang couldn't do anything to him here.

"Didn't you hear me telling you to stand up?!" Meng Yang roared, slapped the table vigorously.

Kay was frightened. He glanced at Meng Yang, then slowly stood up, and the nurse walked over to help him.

Wu Feng and the others had just finished breakfast in another restaurant, and they came to Meng Yang wanting to ask if he would go to school today. They happened to see Meng Yang slapping the table and shouting at Kay, making them all taken aback and so they stood at the door stunned.

After Kay walked back to the room with the help of the nurse, Meng Yang also walked to the door to speak with Wu Feng and the others: "I won't go to school today, you don't have to wait for me."

"Just now, what's going on?" Wu Feng asked, still not completely having come back from the shock.

"It's nothing, you go quickly, don't be late." Meng Yang hurried towards Kay's room after speaking.

Wu Feng and the others looked at each other not understanding why Meng Yang was so fierce to Kay. This was someone else's home. What's even more strange was that there were so many helpers and nurses standing next to them. They treated this poor attitude of Meng Yang as if nothing happened at all.

While Kay was soaking in the medicated bath, Meng Yang sat on the side, holding his tablet showing Kay pictures of his baby: "This is my son, isn't he cute?"

Looking at the tender and delicate chubby face on the screen, Kay replied, "Cute."

"Do you want to have a baby with Franson?" Meng Yang asked.

Kay blushed and didn't answer, but Meng Yang could see from his expression that he must have thought about it.

"Even if you want to give birth, you'll definitely not be able to give birth for a few years at least." Meng Yang spoke in a regretful tone.

"Why?" With an unacceptable expression, Kay questioned in shock.

"Why do you ask?" Meng Yang glanced at him before adding, "You were already in poor health originally, and you can't take many medicines. Now that your physical condition is even worse, it is impossible to conceive a child at all."

"Then how long will it take for me to get pregnant if I cooperate with you for treatment?" Kay asked, looking at Meng Yang.

"It's hard to say. In fact, I have little confidence in making your body better. After all, your physique is too special, and it is very troublesome to treat." Meng Yang answered.

"...Why are you like this?" Kay looked at Meng Yang dissatisfied before adding, "Can't you give me a little confidence? Even you said you were not sure, so why should I cooperate with your treatment?"

"My confidence depends on whether you have the confidence to overcome your inner shadow. In fact, in a situation like yours, aromatherapy is only an auxiliary treatment. The most important thing is to accept psychological treatment. I definitely have no way to help you with good psychotherapy at the moment. But Doctor Korch can do it, as long as you are willing to cooperate."

"I can see it," Kay replied to Meng Yang's remark on how he couldn't help him with psychotherapy.

After the medicated bath, Meng Yang's assistant arranged for Kay to fumigate again, but there was still no way to perform an acupoint massage because Kay was very resistant to other people's touch, so Meng Yang didn't force him.

In the next few days, Kay was quite cooperative, mainly for two reasons. One was because Meng Yang told him if he continued like this, he would probably never have children in the future. This was of course exaggerated. Meng Yang deliberately said it seriously to frighten him, so he would willingly cooperate with the treatment. The second was because Kay didn't know why, but he was a little afraid of Meng Yang. Plus, he also felt guilty because Meng Yang was separated from his husband and child because of him.

Because Kay obediently cooperated with the treatment, Meng Yang could also go to school with Wu Feng and the others.

Meanwhile, Doctor Korch came to give Kay psychological treatment. After giving him psychological hints with hypnotherapy, he taught him to overcome his fear in dreams. He hypnotised Kay while igniting the incense pills prepared by Meng Yang, bringing even better results.

Before leaving to go to school, Meng Yang told Kay: "Take good care of the teacher during the treatment. You are not allowed to play with your temper, you know?"

Kay nodded, like an obedient and well-behaved child.

Korch thought it was amazing how Meng Yang had put Kay into submission to be so obedient and cooperative with the treatment.

"The sooner you get better, the sooner I will tell you what you want to know." Meng Yang touched Kay's head and said in a tone coaxing a child: "Be brave, you can do it, if you're scared, just think about what I said to you."

Kay nodded again.

Franson also thought it was amazing. He doesn't know why Kay just listened to Meng Yang's words. When asked, Kay wouldn't tell him anything but just blush and say it was a secret between them, so he didn't ask anymore. Franson felt a little jealous when he thought Kay still had a secret with someone other than him, but he was very relieved to see Kay obediently cooperating with the treatment and trying to make himself better. So he was very grateful to Meng Yang.

Meng Yang and Wu Feng set off to school. After helping Meng Yang open the car door and get in, the two bodyguards also got in the car and sat on both sides of Meng Yang. Wu Feng and the others sat in the car behind.

After getting out of the car outside the school, Meng Yang felt someone was watching him secretly. After looking around for a week, he found no suspicious person, but he knew his feeling was definitely not wrong.

"What's wrong?" After Wu Feng got out of the car behind, he felt a little puzzled when he saw Meng Yang standing still, as if he was looking for something.

"It's nothing, let's go." Meng Yang and Wu Feng walked into the school together.

Cheng Kang and Cheng Sheng sat in the car and watched Meng Yang and the others walk into the school.

Cheng Kang said to Cheng Sheng: "I told you it's not that easy to kidnap Meng Yang. Even if Luo Xiu is not here, he will definitely guard against it and won't let us take advantage of it. Look at those bodyguards, it's almost impossible. They look inseparable from him. Even if we create turmoil, it will still be difficult to rob people of their protection."

"No matter how strict his defence is, there will definitely be a time when everything is sparse. It's just that we haven't found it yet. After a few more days of observation, we will definitely find the flaws," Cheng Sheng responded.

After thinking about it, Cheng Kang added: "Even if we wait until they return to China, I'm afraid it will be difficult to wait for an opportunity by just waiting and observing like this. Opportunities still have to be created by ourselves. Why don't you contact Yu Junchen and see if you can contact him? Let's work together inside and out."

Cheng Sheng nodded, "I will talk to him."

There were only two classes today. After class, Meng Yang was about to go back with Wu Feng and the others. However, before he could react, he was taken to a room by his assistant and bodyguard.

"What are you doing?" Meng Yang looked at them suspiciously.

"Master Meng Yang, please change into this suit quickly." The assistant didn't explain anything, but opened the door of the locker room and said to Meng Yang, "Please be quick."

Meng Yang looked at the assistant's serious eyes and didn't ask any further questions. After entering the locker room, he immediately changed his clothes as quickly as possible and put on a hat after they closed the door for him.

When Meng Yang came out, he saw a man who looked very similar to him. Meng Yang was stunned for a moment and found that this man was about the same height and size as him. The man had changed into Meng Yang's clothes very quickly. Meng Yang carefully observed his face, only to find out that he was wearing make-up, making him think it was no wonder he looked so similar to him.

After the man changed his clothes, the bodyguards and assistants surrounded him and walked out, changing the group of people who were there to protect Meng Yang.

Before Meng Yang could understand what they were doing so mysteriously, he was taken to the back door of the school by them and got into a car he had not seen before.

"Uncle Luo?!" Seeing Luo Xiu, Meng Yang was stunned for a moment, then jumped into his arms excitedly, hugged him. Holding back his astonishment, he happily asked: "When did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me? "

"I wanted to give you a surprise." Hugging Meng Yang and kissing him, Luo Xiu took off his hat. Seeing him smiling happily, he was in a better mood.

"Where's the baby?" Meng Yang then remembered that if Luo Xiu arrived, the child must have arrived as well.

"Here."Lifting the stroller next to him, Luo Xiu put it on his lap. The child was sleeping soundly.

"Baby!" Meng Yang whispered, kissing the child's little face saying, "Dad missed you so much."

Meng Yang picked up the child and gently stroked him in his arms. At this moment, the thoughts he had stuffed his heart burst out suddenly, his eyes couldn't help but moisten. In just a few days they were separated, he felt as if he was finally being with them after being separated for so a century. After finally meeting each other, he felt how much he had missed them even more deeply.

Luo Xiu hugged Meng Yang and the child together in his arms. Resting his head on Luo Xiu's shoulder, Meng Yang looked at the child. As long as their family of three were together, they could be warm at any time. Even just by quietly snuggling like this together, Meng Yang's heart was very satisfied.

Meanwhile, Cheng Sheng and Cheng Kang watched "Meng Yang" get into the car under the escort of bodyguards, Cheng Sheng started the car, kept a certain distance, and followed behind those cars. Originally, tracking and observing such things did not require them to do it in person, but now they had nothing else to do. Although they had arranged people, they still felt they might be able to come up with a better way if they saw it through in person.

When their car drove to a fork in the road, before they could react, a truck suddenly slammed into them.

Wu Feng and the others were taken aback when they heard the sound, and they immediately turned their heads to look back. Since they were far apart and blocked by many cars behind, they couldn't see the specific situation, but when they heard the sound, they knew what was behind them. There must have been a car accident.

After returning to Franson's house, Meng Yang couldn't wait to show off his son to Kay.

"Look, my son, isn't he cuter than the photo?" Meng Yang smiled very proudly. In his eyes, his child was the cutest and most beautiful baby in the world.

Kay looked greedy and couldn't help but ask Meng Yang, "Can you give him to me to hug?"

"He's very heavy, can you hold him?" Meng Yang asked.

"Yes." Kay answered immediately, "I'm sure I'll be able to hold him while I'm sitting, so he won't fall down."

Hearing this, Meng Yang put the child in Kay's hand, and Kay was as careful as holding a fragile egg.

"You don't have to be so careful." Meng Yang spoke with a smile: "Put him on your lap and hug him a little more relaxed."

The child was hugged by Kay who he didn't recognize but still smiled at him. Looking at the child's smile, Kay's heart almost turned into a puddle of water. This tender little life was very cute but also very fragile. Only under the care and protection of the adults could the child grow up well. If he had a child, could he also protect and take care of him to grow up?

"What's wrong?" Meng Yang saw his eyes were wet as if he was about to cry.

"I must get better as soon as possible. I can't let the child be conceived and born in an unhealthy body." Kay answered with determination.

"As long as you are determined, you can get better soon." Meng Yang replied with a smile.

While Meng Yang and Kay were teasing the child in the small living room, Luo Xiu and Franson were talking about things in the study. Franson had returned Meng Yang's favour today, which Meng Yang didn't know about yet.

Franson and his family, although they have been washed on the surface now, they have not completely broken away from the black forces behind the scenes. Franson specially invited Meng Yang to help Kay with treatment. He was his honoured guest. Besides, he still owed Meng Yang a favour, but Cheng Kang and Cheng Sheng were going to do something to Meng Yang on his territory while he was still in his school. There were people who were surveying around his house. This was a great offence and provocation to him. Their rules here were that those who invade the territory must have a death wish. Since they were looking for death, Franson had fulfilled their wish.

When Meng Yang went to talk to Wu Feng, he vaguely heard other classmates discussing a car accident. He didn't care, so he didn't ask. After talking to Wu Feng for a while, he carried the child back to the room.

After coaxing the child to sleep early, Meng Yang leaned on the bed, checking the contents of the notes on his tablet, waiting for Luo Xiu to come to their room after talking with Franson.

As soon as Luo Xiu entered the door, Meng Yang sat up. After Luo Xiu approached, he hugged him tightly saying, "I missed you so much..."

"I know."Lowering his head, Luo Xiu kissed Meng Yang's face before saying, "I'm going to take a bath."

"Um." Meng Yang nodded.

When Luo Xiu came out of the bathroom, Meng Yang leaned on his arms and felt very at ease. Closing his eyes, he asked, "What were you doing during the day? Why be so mysterious, making me hide and change clothes, but also changing cars, this really can't be because you just wanted to surprise me, right?"

"Cheng Kang is dead." Luo Xiu spoke calmly as if saying that the weather today was not bad.

"When did it happen?" Meng Yang couldn't help but open his eyes instantly. Suddenly remembering the other classmates talking about a car accident, he could link everything together and seemed to understand something.

"Just today, it has been confirmed that he is dead."

"It was an accident, or..."

"You only need to know that it was an accident. You don't have to think about it or ask about the rest." Luo Xiu didn't want Meng Yang to know about these things.

"I see." Meng Yang closed his eyes again, stopped thinking about it, and stopped asking.

The reason why Luo Xiu was at ease and let Meng Yang come here by himself was because he knew that on Franson's territory, no one could touch Meng Yang. Franson himself had assured him that he would ensure Meng Yang's safety. So even Luo Xiu didn't expect Cheng Kang and Cheng Sheng would be stupid enough to want to kidnap Meng Yang in Franson's territory. When they dared to think and act like this, Luo Xiu would never let them go. And this time, Luo Xiu didn't need to do anything in person, as Franson took care of them. After all, this was Franson's territory, and Luo Xiu didn't want to take over, so he didn't participate.

Although Meng Yang stopped thinking about what happened to Cheng Kang before he fell asleep, he couldn't help but think how after Elder Cheng gets to know about this, he would definitely have a heart attack. If he could live through this as well, he would be a very strange man.

…

…

When Elder Cheng received the news Cheng Kang died on the spot in a car accident, he immediately fainted and was sent to the hospital for rescue.

The Cheng family members were now in a panic state. Cheng Kang's death has already been confirmed. If Elder Cheng couldn't hold it any longer and go on like this, then the Cheng family would really be over.

Elder Cheng woke up after being in a coma for two days, but he was too weak to even speak a word. After all, he was old and had another heart attack. This blow from the black-haired man to the white-haired man made him realise his time was running out. But he wanted to understand how exactly Cheng Kang died, otherwise, he couldn't swallow his breath, as the first thing he thought of was Luo Xiu.

However, the news Elder Cheng got to know was that when a prisoner was escaping from pursuit, he ran into Cheng Kang's car in a panic. This incident was purely accidental.

Elder Cheng naturally didn't want to believe that it was really an accident. After Cheng Kang's subordinates told Elder Cheng everything Cheng Kang and Cheng Sheng had done, Elder Cheng immediately knew what was going on. If Cheng Kang was still alive, he would definitely scold him for being stupid. Before doing this kind of thing, he actually dared to make a decision without consulting him. But now there was no more of him in this world, who else could he scold? Cheng Sheng was still in a coma, and it was uncertain whether he could wake up or not.

Elder Cheng asked his subordinates to bring Cheng Kang for a proper burial. As he knew he was dying, he made a new will and called his family to explain the future and his funeral arrangements.

Cheng Sang knelt beside the bed crying, "Dad, please don't say such unlucky words. You must get better. If you are gone, our company won't last long..."

Cheng Sang knew very well how much he was worth, and understood that once Elder Cheng was gone, he would definitely not be able to fight against Luo Xiu and the others, and the Cheng family's company would soon be destroyed.

Elder Cheng shook his head slightly, before speaking with all his strength, "I… it's okay, here it is… today… this step, it's all my fault, and if there is a chance in the future, you must… do… do good deeds for your children and grandchildren."

Elder Cheng was also very aware in his heart that the Cheng family would not last long after he left. Now that his time has come, he regrets how he had done too much in the past and failed to accumulate even a little blessing for the Cheng family and his descendants. He taught his sons and grandsons well to harm others. He really regrets it now, but it's too late, and everything was too late.

Slowly closing his cloudy eyes full of regret, Elder Cheng went away amid the sorrowful cries of his descendants. The dangerous building of the Cheng family was finally about to collapse.

…

…

Dr Devick and Dr Korch and Celsey all had come to see Kay.

Seeing Kay's complexion was much better than before, and mainly because he looked more energetic, they felt very happy in their hearts and felt Meng Yang was really powerful.

"Let me tell you, Meng Yang is very powerful, your complexion looks much better than when you were in the hospital," Celsey spoke with a smile.

"I don't have many nightmares anymore. Meng Yang said as long as I can sleep well at night and recover mentally, my body can recover faster." Kay replied with a smile.

"Meng Yang is indeed a genius. He is also very talented in psychology, and more diligent than others. In the future, he'll definitely make great achievements in psychology." Dr. Korch told Dr. Devick.

Dr Devik nodded.

Luo Xiu returned to China five days ahead of schedule. As the old man Cheng was about to die, there were many things in the country waiting for him to deal with, so he had to go back first.

Meng Yang was on the phone with Luo Xiu and learned Elder Cheng had passed away. He also knew the Cheng family was now in the last desperate struggle and could not last long.

After Meng Yang and Luo Xiu ended the call, he walked to the living room and sat down to talk with the rest, mainly to discuss Kay's next treatment.

Because the study period was coming to an end, Meng Yang and the others would return to China in two days. After he finishes his trip to Quyao County, he was planning to come back and see Kay's situation.

Dr Korch and Dr Devik were very busy, so after discussing Kay's next treatment arrangements, they both left. As Celsey didn't have anything in his schedule today, he decided to stay back and chat with Meng Yang and Kay.

At this time, Yu Junchen finally found out about the hospital Cheng Sheng was admitted to. So before returning home, he mustered up the courage to visit him in the hospital.

"Auntie..." While Yu Junchen was wandering at the door of the ward, Cheng Fangfei ran into him when she came out, so he didn't have time to hide.

"What are you doing here?" Cheng Fangfei looked quite haggard. She looked like she was suddenly more than ten years older than before. Although she had already cut off the relationship with the Cheng family, her broken bones were still attached to her tendons. Her eldest brother and her father died one after another, and her only son was injured and paralyzed. If she hadn't thought that Cheng Sheng still needed her care, she would have collapsed long ago.

"I, I just wanted to see..." Yu Junchen hesitated, he and Cheng Sheng had already broken up, and he was not even a friend. What name could he use to visit Cheng Sheng now?

Just when Yu Junchen was about to leave, Cheng Fangfei stopped him, "Go in and talk to him. From the time he woke up, he hadn't said a word."

Yu Junchen looked up at Cheng Fangfei, nodded, and then walked into the ward.

Walking to the side of the hospital bed, Yu Junchen whispered, "Luo... Cheng Sheng."

Cheng Sheng opened his eyes and rolled his eyes to look at Yu Junchen. Other than his eyes and mouth, he could not move anything else.

Sitting down on the chair beside the bed, Yu Junchen spoke after being silent for a while, "I know, no matter what I say to comfort you now, it's useless. I've been thinking a lot about it recently, and I don't think we should have done what we have done. For us to come to this step, was because our first step was wrong. With the first step wrong, step by step, it all went wrong, so this may be the punishment of fate for us."

While speaking Yu Junchen's tears flowed down, he wiped his tears and continued: "I don't know what my fate will be next, but I have already accepted it, I don't want to fight anymore, I just want to live in peace. A safe, stable life."

Yu Junchen now had no desire to be competitive, especially after knowing Cheng Sheng's accident, he knew he had no hope of getting rid of that person. So now he could only go back and continue to be tortured, and then wait for that person to get tired of torturing him. Then afterwards, he might be able to live a peaceful and ordinary life, though he wasn't sure if he could survive until that day.

After sitting in silence for a while, Yu Junchen got up, bent down and kissed Cheng Sheng's forehead, then left the ward with the feeling of saying goodbye. They might never meet again in the future.

"Wait..." Cheng Sheng made a small voice with difficulty. He wanted Yu Junchen not to leave, but the more anxious he was, the less he could make a sound, so he could only squint to watch Yu Junchen leave.

Cheng Fangfei looked at Yu Junchen's back, which looked like a shadow of despair covering him, and such a shadow of despair was also covering Cheng Sheng. Cheng Fangfei stood outside, leaned against the wall and covered her mouth and cried for a long time before going to the bathroom to wash her face, and then returning to the ward.

Sitting down on the edge of the hospital bed, Cheng Fangfei enduring the heartache and sadness looked at Cheng Sheng and comforted him: "Everything will be fine, the doctor said, you still have hope of getting better, no matter how much money we have to spend, Mom will definitely let the doctor cure you, don't worry."

Cheng Sheng's facial muscles twitched, he didn't know whether he wanted to cry or laugh, but his expression was terrifying and ugly.

"Ha, ha, ha..." Cheng Sheng could only make an air sound, although he looked like he wanted to laugh, but tears kept flowing. He knew Cheng Fangfei was lying to him, and he knew very well that for the rest of his life, he will have to keep on living this way. Instead of living like this, it would have been better for him to be like his uncle and just go away at once.

Looking at Cheng Sheng's painful expression, Cheng Fangfei wanted to continue to comfort him, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't help but cry again.

Meng Yang and the others were going back to China. Before leaving for the airport, Kay was reluctant to part with the child.

"When you come next time, you must bring him too. I ordered a customised toy castle for him, and by the time you are here again, it will be ready and delivered." Looking at Meng Yang, Kay spoke.

"Okay." Taking the child from Kay, Meng Yang added, "If you like children so much, hurry up and take care of your body and give birth to one yourself."

"Didn't you say that it will take at least two or three years? I'll try my best to raise my body healthy." Kay shook the child's fat hand reluctantly.

"You have a good rest, we're leaving." Meng Yang spoke with a smile.

"Un." Kay nodded.

After Meng Yang said goodbye to Kay, he got in the car and set off for the airport.

Upon arrival, Luo Xiu had personally come to the airport to take them home.

After taking a bath, Meng Yang laid down on the big bed, and let out a long sigh before speaking, "It's still more comfortable at home."

Keeping the child on Meng Yang's body, Luo Xiu then took Meng Yang and the child into his arms.

Meng Yang teased: "This fat boy is getting heavier and heavier, I can't even breathe anymore."

Hearing this, Luo Xiu took the child away from Meng Yang, however, the child screamed and protested, wanting to lie down in Meng Yang's arms.

Sitting up, Meng Yang hugged the child and leaned against Luo Xiu's arms, patting the baby gently to coax him to sleep, while asking in a low voice, "How is the Cheng family now?"

"The dead camel is bigger than a horse. I'm going to dismantle this dead camel now so that it will never be able to come back to life again." Luo Xiu replied lightly.

Meng Yang knew very well in his heart that both Elder Cheng and Cheng Kang were dead, and if Luo Xiu wanted to bring down the Cheng family's company, it was as easy as making them play in your palm.

Meng Yang also knew about Cheng Sheng's paralysis, but this was the final result of Cheng Sheng. Meng Yang couldn't be sure if there will be any changes in the future, for now, he could only wait and see.

The final exam was over, so Meng Yang and the others had the chance to relax for a few days, and then set off for Quyao County.

Luo Xiu had made an appointment with his friends to go horseback riding at the horse farm. As Meng Yang's exam was over, Luo Xiu took him out to relax. Meng Yang hadn't ridden on his horse for a long time, so when Luo Xiu said he would take him to the horse farm, he naturally agreed happily.

Three tour cars were about to drive past the horse farm. When a young man with a handsome face on the bus saw Meng Yang's horse at a distance, he immediately said loudly, "Stop, stop!"

"What's wrong?" Zhao Dehao asked suspiciously.

"There's a golden horse over there, it's so beautiful!" Zhao Yi stretched his neck to look. He fell in love with the horse at first sight. Just by looking at it, he knew that it was definitely not cheap. His father sure won't buy it for him, but it's good to have a few more glances.

"Isn't Director Luo, the chairman of the Luo Group?" a middle-aged man sat in the back of the touring car spoke.

"Wwhere?"

"He is the one leading the light golden horse."

"Sigh, who is sitting on the horse right now? Actually letting Director Luo lead the horse himself!"

"Aren't you asking nonsense? It must be the one who gave birth to the young prince of Luo's group. Besides him, who else can let Director Luo lead the horse in person."

"Hey, look, Director Li, President Qi, and Director He are also here."

"Mr Wang, aren't you familiar with Director Luo and the others? Let's go over and say hello to Director Luo and the others."

"...Okay, let's go." Wang Xuan knew these people wanted to use him to get acquainted with Luo Xiu and the others. Although he didn't want to be the matchmaker, he just happened to meet him, so he couldn't refuse directly.

They got out of the touring car and walked towards Luo Xiu and them, but when they were about to approach, they were stopped by Luo Xiu's bodyguards. Although the bodyguards knew Wang Xuan, there were too many other people who they didn't know. As they still had to follow the rules, one of the bodyguards turned around to explain the situation to Luo Xiu, and only let those people pass after getting Luo Xiu's permission.

"Aren't you very busy these days? Why are you free to come to the racecourse today?" Wang Xuan asked after approaching.

"Sneak out of my busy schedule to come and relax." Glancing at the people walking behind Wang Xuan, Luo Xiu questioned, "Are you here to discuss a cooperation?"

"The cooperation thing was settled yesterday, we are here to relax." Wang Xuan expressed: "I'll introduce to you, this is Director Zhao from Hengfeng, these two are his friends, President Sun and President Qian. These three are their sons, Young Master Zhao, Young Master Sun and Young Master Qian."

"Hello Director Luo, I'm Yu Dehao from Hengfeng. I had a cooperation with the Luo Group branch before." Zhao Dehao stretched out his hand to shake hands with Luo Xiu, then shook hands with Li Yan and the others to say hello.

The other two middle-aged men also shook hands with Luo Xiu and the others, respectively, and then introduced themselves.

After Luo Xiu shook hands with the three of them to say hello, he turned around and helped Meng Yang get down from the horse by carrying him down.

The other three handsome young men who came with the three presidents all looked at Meng Yang with admiration. Luo Xiu was not only rich and powerful but also looked so handsome. If they had a choice, they also would definitely want to choose someone like Luo Xiu, but unfortunately, it was not their turn to decide their marriage.

"This should be Master Meng, right?" Looking at Meng Yang, Zhao Dehao spoke.

Hugging Meng Yang, Luo Xiu nodded.

"This is my son Zhao Yi." Zhao Dehao immediately introduced: "He is a first-year student at Xiang Academy and is Madam Luo's junior."

"Hello." Meng Yang nodded with a smile.

Zhao Yi looked at the horse and liked it even more when he saw it up close. He looked at Luo Xiu again, thinking how nice it would be if it was him who met such a good man first, so then this horse would be his now.

As they happened to be resting in the stands for a while, those people didn't leave immediately, they all sat down to talk to Luo Xiu and the others. After all, the opportunity was rare, and of course, they wouldn't leave immediately.

Meng Yang sat drinking juice and listening to them. Feeling a little bored, he got up and walked to the horse, wanting to ride for a while by himself.

Seeing Meng Yang walking over, Zhao Yi also got up and walked behind Meng Yang, wanting to talk to Meng Yang.

"Master Meng." With a smile, Zhao Yi looked at Meng Yang before saying, "Nice to meet you."

Turning his head to glance at Zhao Yi, Meng Yang then smiled and nodded without speaking.

"Master Meng also likes to ride horses?" Zhao Yi asked.

"I took equestrian lessons so I occasionally ride." Meng Yang answered lightly.

"This horse is really beautiful and looks very noble." Zhao Yi praised.

"Thank you." Meng Yang replied.

"Can you... Can you let me ride for a while?" Looking at Meng Yang with pleading and eager eyes, Zhao Yi added, "Two minutes is fine, please."

Meng Yang looked at him and didn't speak, but the meaning of refusal was very obvious.

Meng Yang's refusal eyes made Zhao Yi a little disappointed. When he met Meng Yang for the first time, he made such a request. In fact, he wanted to test whether Meng Yang was a good talker. But now it seems that he was obviously not a good talker.

"Sorry, I was abrupt." Zhao Yi spoke looking at Meng Yang with apologetic eyes. He hoped to have a good relationship with Meng Yang. Because if he could have a good relationship with Meng Yang, there would be many benefits. And for him, the biggest advantage of this was having the opportunity to get close to Luo Xiu. Even if he could be just a lover for Luo Xiu, it was much better than being traded for the family's benefit.

"Master Meng Yang is now a celebrity in the entire aromatherapy industry. Many of my classmates, like me, admire you very much. I have the honour to chat with you today. After I go back to school, I must show them off." Zhao Yixiao chatted.

Meng Yang could see Zhao Yi's ulterior motives from the very beginning, and from this short conversation, he could already feel his scheming. No wonder he was able to stand out from Zhao Dehao's many illegitimate children and was brought back by Zhao Dehao for education, but if he was to scheme against him, he will make sure to show him what kind of a mistake he was about to make.

"I don't know if Young Master Zhao has heard the saying 'When one was bitten by a snake, they will even be afraid of a rope even if a decade passes?" Meng Yang asked.

Zhao Yi looked at Meng Yang suspiciously. He didn't understand why Meng Yang asked because even elementary school students must have heard of this sentence.

"Master Zhao is so smart, so you must know the meaning of this sentence, right?" Meng Yang spoke with a smile.

Zhao Yi thought about it quickly. Thinking of what he had heard before, about Meng Yang's step-brother robbing his boyfriend, Meng Yang then married his boyfriend's father, Luo Xiu. Zhao Yi immediately understood what Meng Yang meant.

However, Zhao Yi thought to himself that Meng Yang meant that as he had been bitten by a snake before, now he was afraid of the rope, so he was too cautious. Turning his head to glance at Luo Xiu who was back at the stand in the distance, he then turned around to Meng Yang, "Master Meng misunderstood me, I really admire you, so I thought, if only I could be friends with you, I have absolutely no other ideas."

"Then I'll just say it straight, Young Master Zhao and I are not the same kinds of people, so it's impossible to become friends."

"We are not the same kind of person?" Zhao Yi had already noticed Meng Yang hated him. He thought Meng Yang wouldn't look down on him being an illegitimate child. This was his biggest sour point and the thing that angered him the most. And Meng Yang had already pointed it out. Knowing this, it was hard for him not to be angry. He resisted his anger and spoke with a smile instead: "Master Meng, are you looking down on me? Something like being the Madam Luo of Lou groups chairman, I really can't afford to be high. Is that why I'm not qualified to be your friend? But Feng shui turns around, maybe one day, good luck will come to me. Master Meng is so incapable of being a gentleman, don't regret it in the future."

"I know you have great ambitions. Because you feel inferior to your origin, so you want to be a superior person and step on the bottom of all those who look down on you." Taking a step closer to him, Meng Yang looked him in the eyes before adding: "In the midnight dream, when the night is quiet, only you know exactly what you feel in your heart. I can see you are the kind of person who will despise yourself for being very dirty physically and mentally at certain moments. This kind of feeling must be painful for you, right?"

Being exposed to the things he had been hiding in the depths of his heart by Meng Yang, Zhao Yi was angry. Clenching his fist hard, he glared at Meng Yang.

Meng Yang smiled at him, then got on his horse, turned around, and ran slowly into the distance.

In the previous life, for Yu Junchen, Meng Yang was just a cannon-fodder who was just a stepping stone. This Zhao Yi was Yu Junchen's biggest opponent. This Zhao Yi, in his previous life, used to be Yu Junchen's junior brother and tried his best to have a good relationship with Yu Junchen. Then he fell in love with Cheng Sheng, seduced Cheng Sheng by various means and destroyed the relationship between Cheng Sheng and Yu Junchen. When Yu Junchen questioned him after he found out about this, he also said in a particularly high-sounding manner that what he did was just what Yu Junchen had done before. Everyone competed on the basis of their ability, so no one should think that the other's methods are dirty, making Yu Junchen speechless.

The key point of this was that Zhao Yi almost succeeded, but because Yu Junchen and Cheng Sheng were "true love", Cheng Sheng finally saw his true face clearly, and his end was no better than Meng Yang.

Meng Yang thought he had completely changed the fate trajectory of his previous life, but now it appears that even if he changed the overall trajectory, there were still some overlaps. It's just that Luo Xiu was not Cheng Sheng. The means Zhao Yi used on Cheng Sheng would have no effect on Luo Xiu at all, and it was impossible for him to have a chance to get close to Luo Xiu.

Thinking about what kind of character Zhao Yi was, he didn't take him seriously at all.

Zhao Dehao was simply a fighter among scumbags. He has divorced four times and married five times, and has a bunch of lovers outside. Although these have nothing to do with Meng Yang, the things he did make Meng Yang feel extremely disgusted with this person.

Zhao Yi's character was caused by his parents, but none of this had anything to do with Meng Yang. And Luo Xiu's socialising matters, he has always never asked or expressed his opinion, and he believed Luo Xiu will never have too many personal relationships and contacts with people like Zhao Dehao, at most it was enough to have a decent face.

Watching Meng Yang ride the horse farther and farther, Zhao Yi took a deep breath and regretted how he couldn't control his emotions. But it didn't matter, he comforted himself thinking the big deal was to change on the way, and there would be no one he couldn't deal with.

Adjusting his facial expression, Zhao Yi walked back to the stand and sat down. The other two young people watched Zhao Yi talk to Meng Yang just now. Although they didn't know what they said, they were a little envious. In fact, they looked down on Zhao Yi in their hearts, thinking he was just an illegitimate child who couldn't make it to the table, but the Zhao family was stronger than both of them, so no matter how unhappy they were in their hearts, they still had to be polite to Zhao Yi on the surface.

When Meng Yang returned on his horse, Luo Xiu got up and walked over. Taking Meng Yang off the horse, he took a wet towel to wipe the sweat from his forehead before asking, "Are you hungry?"

"A little bit." Meng Yang closed his eyes, letting Luo Xiu wipe his face. As the sun was a bit bright today, it was really hot.

"Let's go to dinner, take a rest after dinner, then we'll go home." Luo Xiu lowered his head and kissed Meng Yang's reddened face.

Li Yan and the others had reserved a private room at the clubhouse at the racecourse. It was just time for lunch. Their brothers were going to eat and chat, but Zhao Dehao and the others had no intention of leaving. In order to save Wang Xuan's face, Li Yan had no choice but to open his mouth and invite them, Zhao Dehao naturally agreed immediately.

After arriving at the clubhouse, Meng Yang first went to the room to take a shower and changed his clothes, then walked into the private room with a refreshing suit, and sat down beside Luo Xiu to prepare for dinner.

The dishes had not been served yet, so no one else had moved their chopsticks. A waiter came in with a small white jade bowl the size of a palm on a tray and placed it in front of Meng Yang.

Li Yan said to Luo Xiu: "This is specially prepared for the little sister-in-law. I like to eat this one, but unfortunately, there is little rain this year. This thing is only available by the stream, so they could only find it after checking all over the mountains. They could only make such a small bowl, so I reluctantly gave up my love today to let my sister-in-law have a taste."

Picking up the small white jade bowl to smell it, Luo Xiu then brought it to Meng Yang and asked him to smell it too. Meng Yang smelled the fragrance of the plant and instantly felt a sense of increased appetite.

Zhao Yi and the other two young people looked at the small white jade bowl curiously, thinking what was so precious? It was just such a small bowl, and let the dignified Chairman Li say how reluctant he was.

The waiter at the back brought a small bowl of white rice. Mixing the chopped green vegetables in the small white jade bowl together with the soup, Luo Xiu poured it into the rice. After mixing, he put it in front of Meng Yang and let him eat with a spoon.

Meng Yang savoured it carefully and felt that the taste was really delicious, it was too much for his appetite, so he ate slowly one bite after another.

After the dishes were served, the others chatted while eating. In order to show his etiquette, Zhao Yi seemed to be tied with a thread in his hand, and every move was standard.

Zhao Yi looked at Meng Yang from time to time and found Meng Yang was as comfortable and casual as he was in his own home, and everything Meng Yang ate was served to him alone. Not only that, while Luo Xiu talked and ate his food, he also personally helped Meng Yang to serve food.

How could one not be envious? Glancing at Luo Xiu, Zhao Yi thought, "Who wouldn't want to have such a good man?"

After Meng Yang was full, he got up and walked to the sofa next to him to sit and browse his mobile, waiting for Luo Xiu and the others to go home after eating and chatting.

If what just happened did not happen, Zhao Yi would definitely take the initiative to talk to Meng Yang, but Meng Yang had already shown an obvious dislike for him a while ago, and he also said those words. Although he regretted it, he couldn't immediately act as if nothing had happened and go talk to Meng Yang immediately. He could only think about the countermeasures in his heart.

When these people talk about business, it really would be endless, but every time Luo Xiu brings Meng Yang out, he would go home when he wants to go home. He would never delay for too long, so not long after eating, Luo Xiu left with Meng Yang.

…

…

A few days later, Meng Yang and the others were about to leave for Quyao County. Before leaving, Meng Yang calmed down, thinking he was going to face it after all. What else was there to be afraid of, what was there to be afraid of? Old Master Cheng and Cheng Kang were both dead, Cheng Sheng was paralyzed lying on the hospital bed, it was better to die than be like that. Yu Junchen was like a wandering soul now, his mental state was obviously abnormal, those who harmed him and those who owed him got retribution. All those pains that belonged to the previous life, why should he feel afraid?

Meng Yang and Luo Xiu set off early on a private plane. Wu Feng and the many others would arrive a day later.

While on the plane, Luo Xiu found Meng Yang seemed to be extraordinarily quiet today, and his expression was serious as if he was going to accomplish some major life event.

"What's wrong?" Taking Meng Yang into his arms, Luo Xiu kissed his forehead before saying, "You look so serious."

Coming back to his senses, Meng Yang put his head on Luo Xiu's shoulder replying, "It's nothing, it's just going to Quyao County this time is of great significance to me, so I started to get serious involuntarily."

"Why is it so important?" Luo Xiu was puzzled. Meng Yang didn't plan to participate in the competition which would be held more than a month later. He was going to Quyao County this time to buy spices and travel to relax. Why did it suddenly become significant again?

Meng Yang did not answer Luo Xiu but thought in his heart 'because I had both the best and most painful memories of my previous life, but whether it was good or painful, I have to say goodbye and let the past stay in the past forever, Then really start a new life wholeheartedly, and never let the past things affect my mood to enjoy a happy life.'

The car drove into the Linxi Resort. Luo's Group's hotels were all over the country, but when one visited such a place with beautiful natural scenery and a strong local ethnic cultural atmosphere, it was meaningless to live in such a modern high-rise hotel. And these kinds of Rich people wouldn't want to live in B&Bs, so these kinds of high-end villas were places where the rich spend their leisure time every year by coming to live for ten days to half a month. Integrating into nature, enjoying the natural scenery and scenery full of attractive charm, could give people a healing effect on the soul. Artificial landscaping would never be better than the magical work of nature.

After entering the villa area, Meng Yang looked at the scenery outside the window, and many places evoked memories in his mind.

When the car stopped, Luo Xiu got out of the car with the child in his arms, put the child in the stroller, and then stretched out his hand to help Meng Yang get out of the car.

Looking at this place where he could recall countless times in his previous life, Meng Yang suddenly felt dizzy and his body shook.

"Meng Yang?" Finding that there was something wrong with Meng Yang, Luo Xiu immediately hugged him.

"It's okay, altitude sickness, a little hypoxia." Meng Yang closed his eyes, letting the feeling of dizziness soon pass.

Reaching out to take the oxygen bottle from the bodyguard, Luo Xiu put it over Meng Yang's mouth and nose to let him inhale oxygen. Shaking his head Meng Yang moved away Luo Xiu's hand saying, "I'm fine, I've adapted."

Luo Xiu walked into the yard with Meng Yang in his arms. The yard was square, with rocks and flowing water on the front, and it was a natural rockery, not man-made. There were two-story wooden buildings on both sides, with a slate floor in the middle and a muddy ground which was planted with various flowers and plants, making the whole yard look spacious and tidy.

This was Luo Xiu's yard. No other guests were accepted. The yard was ancient and elegant, with lush flowers and plants. There were red lanterns hanging under the eaves, as well as the decorative style of local ethnic characteristics. There were about ten rooms in this yard. In Meng Yang's previous life, he had lived in one of the rooms in this yard, but he had never lived in the master bedroom on the second floor because that was Luo Xiu's room.

From the carpeted wooden stairs to the second floor, after entering the room, Meng Yang walked into the bedroom, sat down on the big bed, and stroked the new sheets that no one had slept in.

"Is it still uncomfortable?" Pouring a cup of tea, Luo Xiu walked over to Meng Yang and sat down, then passed the teacup to Meng Yang's mouth to feed him to drink.

Holding his hand to drink the tea, Meng Yang shook his head, "It's not uncomfortable anymore."

Luo Xiu put the teacup on the bedside table before saying, "Sleep for a while."

Pushing Luo Xiu onto the bed, Meng Yang closed his eyes, laying in Luo Xiu's arms.

Luo Xiu hugged Meng Yang while fondly touching his hair.

Meng Yang could do whatever he wanted to Luo Xiu that he has never dared to do in his last life, whether it was pushing him down, or kiss him.

…

…

The next day, Meng Yang sat by the window, leaning against Luo Xiu's arms with the child in his arms, staring at the flowers and plants in the yard in a daze. This place was originally a place suitable for dazing around and emptying your mind, however, in Meng Yang's case, although was in a daze he did not let go of his mind, but recalled the scenes of his previous life.

When Meng Yang first arrived at this villa in his previous life, he didn't live in this yard. Later, he begged Luo Xiu saying he liked this yard, so Luo Xiu agreed with him to move in. In this yard, although he only lived for less than a year, he had fond memories to support his life. In his last life, he desperately wanted to be happy, and that desire to be with Luo Xiu made him unwilling to die no matter what.

It was really a good place full of romance, making people feel soft inside, forgetting worries, and easy to develop emotions.

In the afternoon, as Wu Feng and the others were almost there, Meng Yang went to the hall at the entrance of the villa to greet them.

Because it was summer vacation, there were a lot of student groups who came to travel, and in addition to Meng Yang's students from his school, students from other Academies also visited. Although not every Academy could afford to live in such a high-end villa, there were some Academies which were financed by wealthy business people, so in addition to the students of Xiang Academy, there were two other groups of students who also lived here. Of course, the students of Xiang Academy were all sponsored by Luo Xiu with free accommodation.

Sitting on the sofa in the hall, Meng Yang looked at his phone while waiting for Wu Feng and the others to arrive.

A group of people came in from outside the door. Thinking it was Wu Feng and the others, Meng Yang looked up only to find that he didn't know any of them. Realising they should be a student from another school, he lowered his head to browse through his phone once again.

Those students went to the front desk to check-in. They all had seen Meng Yang and recognized him, so some students whispered excitedly.

"Is that Meng Yang from Xiang Academy? Or am I mistaken?"

"It should be him right. It turns out students from their academy also live here?"

"Can't you see the logo of the Luo Group at the front desk? As the wife of the chairman of the Luo Group, what's so strange about living here."

"Do you think if I go to him for an autograph, he would sign it for me?"

"You go try it."

"I don't dare, there are bodyguards standing next to him."

"Zhao Jing, haven't you always wanted to meet Meng Yang? This time is a good opportunity. Among us, you are the most qualified to talk to him."

Zhao Jing glanced at Meng Yang, then lowered his head pondering. He really wanted to know Meng Yang, but can he just walk over and say I want to know you? This might make Meng Yang not take him seriously, and they might even think he was inexplicable.

Currently, Meng Yang has a high reputation and popularity in the entire incense academic circle. Many students admire him and take him as an example to study hard. Every time there was news about Meng Yang, they would talk about it for a long time. They would try their best to buy the perfume, incense, fragrance, he has created and so on.

Zhao Jing was the best student at Dongda Xiang Academy now. He was well known in the field of Aromatherapy academia, but he was incomparable with Meng Yang. After all, Meng Yang had a great reputation both in the international perfume industry, and the aromatherapy field. Zhao Jing admired Meng Yang from the bottom of his heart, and really wanted to make friends with Meng Yang, but there must always be a suitable opportunity, instead of talking to him so rashly.

Seeing Wu Feng and the others coming in, Meng Yang got up and walked toward them.

And just as they walked in, Meng Yang saw Zhao Yi walking among them.

Seeing Meng Yang looking at him, Zhao Yi smiled at him.

After Meng Yang glanced at Zhao Yi, he looked at Wu Feng with questioning eyes.

Wu Feng explained to him: "He is a student the teacher just accepted. His name is Zhao Yi. He ranked first within the first years so can participate in-field training. The teacher asked him to come with us in advance."

Meng Yang remembered in his previous life, Zhao Yi was Xu Wangya's student and Yu Junchen's junior brother. And now, he has become his junior brother? He really had some skills, managing to choose at will between the two Masters.

After the results at the end of the term came out, Zhao Yi got first place in the first year. Xu Wangya had really wanted to make Zhao Yi his student. Yu Junchen's grades had dropped so badly to the point he didn't even qualify for the competition. Xu Wangya needed a student who could survive his reputation urgently.

However, now whether it was in school or in the Aromatherapy Branch, it was obvious Lin Songtai had a more dominant position. Of course, Zhao Yi also wanted to become a student of Lin Songtai as well, but Lin Songtai did not want to accept him as a student. So he could only let his father find someone who had a good relationship with Lin Songtai and finally managed to get accepted by him.

The classmates next to Zhao Jing poked him with their elbows, motioning him to look at Zhao Yi with their eyes.

Glancing at Zhao Yi, a cold light of disdain flashed in Zhao Jing's eyes, and then took the room card and walked out of the hall with the other students.

Meng Yang was too lazy to pay attention to Zhao Yi, so he spoke while looking at Wu Feng, "You didn't have a good meal on the plane, right? The meals are all ready. Everyone can go eat first, then go to your rooms to have a good rest afterwards."

Putting down their luggage, Wu Feng and the others followed Meng Yang to the dining area. Naturally, the staff would help them finish up their check-in procedures.

In this villa, except for Luo Xiu's car, no one else's vehicles were allowed to enter. But due to the excessive size of the villa, they had to take tour cars to move around.

"The scenery here is really healing. It's rare to be able to come here. If I didn't have to participate in training. I would have definitely stayed doing nothing more than enjoying the beautiful scenery and food here." Wu Feng chatted with Meng Yang.

"It's a pity Brother Qin couldn't come together, otherwise you could have taken this opportunity to have a good date." Meng Yang spoke with a smile. Qin Hong goes to the School of Economics and had extracurricular activities during the summer vacation, so he couldn't come along.

"No need to rush this time. There'll be opportunities in the future." Although Wu Feng also felt it was a little pity, thinking about the future, his heart was not too uncomfortable.

Meng Yang nodded in agreement.

The place where the dining area was called the Guanshan Pavilion. One could see the continuous mountain peaks in the distance, and could also see the unpredictable changes in the sky and clouds. No matter how good the special effects of movies were, there was no such feeling of seeing it in real life, which was even more heart-warming. Letting oneself be open up and indulge in it.

While waiting for the dishes, Meng Yang looked at the scenery outside while talking to Wu Feng and the others.

Wanting to go to the toilet, Meng Yang got up and walked out. When Zhao Yi saw it, he also got up and went out immediately.

"Brother Meng, can I say a few words to you?" Zhao Yi asked quietly behind Meng Yang.

"What else do I have to say to you?" Meng Yang didn't stop or look back. He spoke coldly, "Why do I need to listen to you?"

"I was the one who spoke too harshly last time. I want to apologise. I know you despise me, but birth is not something I can choose. If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to be born as an illegitimate child as well. But I have no choice. You look down on me because of this. I have nothing to say, but I will use my own efforts and strength to maintain my dignity." Zhao Yi went on speaking.

"Nothing to say?" Meng Yang walked outside the toilet, stopped, then turned to look at him before saying sarcastically, "Isn't that a good thing to say? Do I have anything to do with you being an illegitimate child? Do I have to despise you for that? Why should I look down on you because of this? Let me tell you the truth. You can't even get into my eyes, let alone look down on you. Also, you'd better put away all your thoughts in front of me. Otherwise, I'll show you what it means to regret. Also, if you feel your illegitimate child status makes you feel inferior and is a stain on your life, then you go to blame your parents. Don't always come and mention it in front of me. Do you think I have to feel anything about your identity? You weren't born to me, so what's wrong with you always coming and going on about it in front of me?"

Meng Yang had never been a good-tempered person. His temper was even more irritable in his last life, but as he suffered too much suffering in the last life, which made his character a lot calmer, but this did not mean his temper has changed. Meng Yang didn't know if Zhao Yi got to be reborn as he was, whether he would regret the things he had done in his previous life. But, if he wanted to use such methods on himself, then he was destined to continue to bear the results of his previous life.

Zhao Yi was stunned by Meng Yang's eyes and aura. After being stunned for a while, he felt a sudden panic. He didn't know why he was panicking. He just wanted to please Meng Yang and have a good relationship with him. Even if he had other ideas, he hadn't done anything yet, why was he feeling so flustered?

The door of the toilet opened suddenly, and Zhao Jing came out. Zhao Yi froze again when he saw Zhao Jing, and then glared at him almost subconsciously.

Meng Yang looked back at Zhao Jing, then turned and walked into the toilet.

After glancing at Zhao Yi with mocking and disdainful eyes, Zhao Jing turned and left.

What Zhao Yi couldn't bear the most was Zhao Jing's look. He mocked Zhao Jing in his heart. Thinking about what Zhao Jing felt so amazing about himself; 'you are just a little bit luckier than me. You were born in wedlock, and your grandfather's family is rich. But your mother has already divorced and left the household. What else do you have to be proud of?'

Zhao Yi wanted to follow into the toilet but was stopped by the bodyguard. The toilet was very large and spacious, with more than a dozen single booths, but when Meng Yang entered, he made a gesture to the bodyguard not to let Zhao Yi in, hence the bodyguard would not let him in.

Zhao Yi could only suppress his anger and turn back to the private room. Everything he had now was achieved by his own efforts, and he would also rely on his own ability to fight for it in the future. Whoever wins had the final say, and the loser was useless no matter how righteous he was.

After eating, Wu Feng and the others went back to the yard to rest. The sky was already dark, and the lights all over the villa were lit up. The lights were bright everywhere, and it had a different charm from the daytime. Many people came out for a walk. There were beautiful lights lit up in the courtyards as well. Some people sat in the courtyard while drinking tea and chatting, while some sat by the window in the house, quietly enjoying the tranquillity.

There were some old streets and old markets in Quyao County, all of which had maintained the appearance of the past, and now have become tourist attractions.

Early the next morning, Meng Yang and they set off by car to go look at this market. It took them an hour to get to the place they wanted to go.

Usually, since they were students of Xiang Academy, they were definitely more willing to visit the medicinal herbs market and spice market or go to the flower market. However, there would be a time specifically allocated to go after these places. So, in order to be able to taste the most authentic local food, they visited the mountain food market first.

They looked at the dazzling variety of mountain goods on both sides of the street, feeling their eyes were not enough, and they almost could not see all there was. They couldn't count on just how many of the types of wild mushrooms were there. After all, this area accounted for two-thirds of the edible mushroom species in the country, as well as wild fruits, wild vegetables, pheasants, hares, wild boars, nuts, etc. wild flora and fauna.

"This is indeed a place where wild plants are blooming, and my eyes are already spent." Wu Feng sighed.

"The altitude here is high enough, the humidity is also high, the light is sufficient, the mountains and forests are large, and there is no industrial pollution. This is a paradise for wild plants." Meng Yang spoke as he walked: "Plus, with the few counties nearby, the whole region, after identification and statistics, over 400 kinds of wild vegetables are edible. They can eat more than 70 kinds of varieties all year round."

"The title 'plant kingdom' is really not for nothing." Wu Feng smiled: "This is the benefit of the vast land and rich resources. The attributes of our foodie nation may be created by the environment. Foreigners always say we do everything. But that's because they can eat fewer kinds of things themselves, and they also have fewer cooking methods, so they don't have the good fortune."

"In autumn, there'll be wild persimmons, wild chestnuts, etc. It tastes very good." Meng Yang especially missed the taste of fried wild chestnuts, which was his favourite snack when he lived in Linxi Villa in his previous life, and the chestnut stewed chicken was also very delicious. He used to skip the chicken pieces every time, then eat up all the chestnuts.

Zhao Yi pouted while strolling behind the others, as his interest was lacking. Thinking if he wanted to visit, he wanted to visit the spice or medicinal material market. What was there to visit in this food market? He felt it was Meng Yang who wanted to go shopping here himself, while others might not have wanted to go shopping. It was just that it was not easy to raise objections.

In fact, only Zhao Yi himself felt bored. Wu Feng and the others had a good time shopping. Along the road were many food stalls owned by local aunts with various cooking skills and experience of many years. Even if it was the same food, the taste was different when made by them. After they bought snacks, they ate it one by one, and the matter of having breakfast was solved by the time they walked all the way, just like eating at a buffet.

Not only that, if Zhao Yi was unwilling to come, he could always rest in the villa. A few classmates were more willing to sleep in late, and when they woke up, they drank tea in the villa in a daze without following them. It's just that Zhao Yi was in a hurry to have a good relationship with other people, so he followed. But then he disliked the boredom in his heart.

After getting a little tired of shopping, they casually walked into a teahouse to take a break having a cup of tea.

They went to the second floor, and after sitting down, Meng Yang leaned against the window edge and looked at the street and pedestrians below.

Suddenly a face came into Meng Yang's sight, which made him stand up suddenly, making the tray in the waiter's hand knock over, startling the others.

"Master Meng Yang! Did you get scalded?" The two assistants immediately ran to Meng Yang's side, nervously watching to see if Meng Yang had any tea on him. If Meng Yang was scalded, their jobs would not be able to be saved.

Meng Yang didn't care about the rest, raised his hand and asked one of the bodyguards to come over, then pointed to a person shopping at a certain stall before saying, "Follow him and find out where he lives."

Another bodyguard took the waiter downstairs. Although they could see the teapot had been knocked over to the ground and no one was splashed on, if the waiter's feet were scalded by the splashed tea, that person must be compensated.

The assistant was relieved when he saw that there was no trace of water on Meng Yang's body.

Meng Yang sat down and waited for the bodyguards to talk back and forth.

Others were very puzzled when they saw that Meng Yang's face was not very good. As he had an obvious uneasy look but didn't know what happened to him all of a sudden.

"Meng Yang, what happened?" Looking at Meng Yang,Wu Feng asked.

Meng Yang shook his head while thinking, he must have seen it right, it must be him.

A waiter served them tea again. Meng Yang took a sip of tea, and after calming down a little, he turned his head to ask, "The waiter who served tea just now, did he get burned?"

"Some tea just splashed on the upper of the shoe, but he was not scalded. The bodyguard already gave him a tip as an apology." The assistant replied.

Meng Yang nodded.

The bodyguard who left came back not long after. Getting up, Meng Yang walked to the side, listening to the bodyguard's report.

"That man is the manager of Longfeng Yewei Restaurant, right on the street next to this." The bodyguard whispered.

Meng Yang thought for a while, then returned to the table and sat down. With a smile, he asked the others, "Are you guys planning to go shopping later? Or go straight to lunch?"

Wu Feng and the others looked at each other before saying, "We don't care. If you feel uncomfortable, let's go back."

"I'm not uncomfortable." Meng Yang replied with a smile: "Since we've come here. Wouldn't it be a waste to go without eating some lunch? Let's go to the next street to see."

Meng Yang and the others walked to the next street, then entered the Longfeng Yewei Restaurant*. Because it took time for the food to be served, Meng Yang asked those who still wanted to shop to go have fun, and the ones who wanted to rest, to sit with him and wait.

[TN: * 野味 - Yewei is a Southern Chinese term that describes various types of game meat, including bushmeat from exotic wild animals( Game, Chinese word, pinyin yě wèi, refers to the edible meat of wild mammals, or sometimes birds, or hunted (such as hunting); especially the edible meat of wild animals)]

They didn't ask for a private room, so they sat down at the two large round tables next to the lobby on the first floor.

The waiter brought the menu wanting to get their order. However, Meng Yang didn't open the menu, but said, "Ask your manager to come and help us order."

Even if the waiter had never seen anything in the world, he could see from Meng Yang's aura and the bodyguard standing behind him that he was not an ordinary person, so he didn't say much, and immediately turned to ask their manager.

Wu Nateng was checking the stock in the back kitchen. When the waiter rushed in saying there was a customer outside asking him to order food, he nodded and went out with his inventory book.

Meng Yang was looking at the menu. From the corner of his eye, he saw Wu Nateng come out. Looking up at him, he asked, "Are you the manager here?"

Seeing Meng Yang's face, Wu Nateng immediately froze, with a shocked expression as if he was seeing a ghost. As he was a tall and sturdy man, his expression looked a bit funny.

Meng Yang was a little puzzled at first on why he looked at him with such an expression. In this life, they had never met before. Even if he knew who he was, he wouldn't be so shocked. Could it be that...

"Are you the manager here?" Meng Yang asked again.

Wu Nateng still hadn't come back to his senses, and just looked at Meng Yang with shocked eyes. Seeing this, the waiter next to him poked him in doubt, "Manager? Manager?"

Wu Nateng seemed to be awakened from a dream. He turned his head sharply to glance at the waiter who poked him, then turned to Meng Yang again.

"What's your shop's signature dish?" Looking at him, Meng Yang asked, "Are there any fresh game meat today?"

"Yes, today... today there is..." Wu Nateng's mind went blank, and he didn't know what to say at all.

The waiter didn't know what happened to their manager today, it was as if he was hit with an evil spell, so he could only quickly answer for him.

Meng Yang looked at Wu Nateng's eyes and wanted to confirm his suspicion from his eyes. The two looked at each other as if time had stopped. Wu Nateng felt inexplicably scared because of Meng Yang's eyes.

Wu Feng and the others were extremely puzzled. If they didn't know how much Meng Yang loved Luo Xiu, they would definitely suspect that Meng Yang had an affair with this manager. After all, this manager was quite handsome, with deep facial features and a good figure. Tall and muscular, with well-proportioned muscles.

Zhao Yi looked at Wu Nateng and then at Meng Yang, thinking seriously. Judging from Meng Yang's strange performance in the restaurant a while ago, and the way he looked at the manager now, Zhao Yi felt that Meng Yang's relationship with this person must be unusual. But Meng Yang was already married to Luo Xiu. Could it be that the person in front of him was his old lover, and then the two of them were still in love? If this was the case, then it would be great. This was a big handle for him. Zhao Yi was silently excited.

"Make two servings of each of the dishes you just mentioned." Looking at the waiter, Meng Yang ordered the food.

"Okay." The waiter immediately went to the kitchen to order the menu.

Wu Nateng glanced at Meng Yang again, then turned and walked away quickly.

"Do you know that manager?" Wu Feng asked.

"I don't know." Meng Yang shook his head.

Zhao Yi smiled contemptuously in his heart, thinking; 'what are you pretending to be? We're not blind. The way you two looked just now, adultery was almost written on your face, and you still say you don't know each other. Who would believe it?' He couldn't even tell a lie, Luo Xiu would definitely find out about it soon.

It was the season when all kinds of wild mushrooms were ripe in large quantities. Although Meng Yang didn't hear what the waiter was talking about a while ago, as he expected, all kinds of mushroom dishes were served one after another.

There was a platter of wild mushrooms, which could be cooked and eaten like a hot pot by yourself in a soup boiled with bones, as well as steamed pork with chicken mushrooms, charcoal-grilled matsutake mushrooms, scrambled eggs with dried mushrooms, braised green head mushrooms, and stir-fried porcini mushrooms. Meat, pine mushroom chicken soup, Cordyceps flower, bamboo and sunflower pork rib soup, pheasant, hare, wild pork, etc. The chefs here were very good at cooking, and everyone was very happy to eat. Only snake meat and bee pupae were not eaten, probably because of the psychological effect, everyone only dared to look at it and didn't dare to use chopsticks.

Meng Yang had no appetite and only drank some soup. Anyway, these could be eaten in Linxi Villa. He didn't come here to eat, but just to feel the atmosphere and different cooking skills they offered.

Done taking a little rest after eating, Meng Yang and the others left.

Wu Nateng, who was in the office on the second floor, opened a small crack in the window and watched Meng Yang's back gradually walk away. The panic in his heart had already calmed down, and he regretted the gaffe just now. Everyone could see that something was wrong with him.

Thinking how the fate of the man named Meng Yang was completely different in this life, the complicated and heavy feeling from the previous life reappeared, because he suddenly looked at him without any psychological preparation, when Meng Yang looked at him, he recalled the memory of his previous life, so he couldn't react for a while.

And Wu Nateng felt the reason why Meng Yang's fate was completely different from his previous life was probably because he was also reborn. This was the only reasonable explanation for him.

Wu Nateng fell into deep thought. He didn't know whether Meng Yang appeared in front of him on purpose, or what he should do next.

After Meng Yang returned to the villa, he was also analysing the reason why Wu Nateng was so shocked to see him, and the biggest possibility he could come up with was that Wu Nateng was also reborn.

When he slept at night, Meng Yang lay in Luo Xiu's arms before saying, "Today we went to the mountain food market, there was a restaurant called Longfeng Yewei Meat, can you get someone to buy it?"

"Why do you want to buy such a restaurant?" Luo Xiu wondered. The annual profit of such a restaurant was not as high as the annual salary of an assistant of Meng Yang, so there was no use buying it. Luo Xiu couldn't think of a reason why Meng Yang wanted to buy it.

"Buy it first anyway, I'll use it soon, and I'll tell you the reason later." Meng Yang spoke, putting his face on Luo Xiu's chest.

Meng Yang's face rubbed against Luo Xiu's body, like a lazy and coquettish cat.

After coming here, Luo Xiu found out how Meng Yang became particularly active. He naturally would not let Meng Yang not be satisfied in this regard, but he also vaguely felt Meng Yang's emotional changes.

Meng Yang took Wu Feng and the others to play for two days. After the Masters arrived, they were about to get down to business.

The spice market in Quyao County could be said to be the largest spice market in the country. After all, it was an area where plants were open and hanging. Not only were there many types of spices, but the quality was also better than those in other places.

The spice market in Quyao County would hold activities every year to attract more customers and tourists. During the summer vacation, activities specially arranged for the students of various Aromatherapy Academies would be held.

The content of the activity was for the students to buy their own spices in the market. The administrators would mix different kinds of spices with different qualities. Then let the students would have to rely on their own discerning ability to pick up the leaks*. The students who picked up the best quality spice would get all the spices they had purchased free of charge. And the priority rights to buy rare spices would also be given to the Academy the student belonged to.

[TN:*Picking up the leaks means buying valuable antiques at very cheap prices, and the sellers are often unaware.]

Every school does not want to miss such a good opportunity. Although it was stipulated that students who participated in the event must be enrolled, there was no limit to the number of students participating. Therefore, the management association and the businessmen of the spice market would make a lot of money every time.

Each merchant has placed the spices to be sold in this event at the door. Because it was stipulated when purchasing, the students were not allowed to discuss with the people around them, Meng Yang and the others acted separately.

Meng Yang walked all the way seeing so many spices which were really dazzling. Every time he selected a spice, Meng Yang would take out his student ID card and pay with his mobile phone. The merchants would register the spices purchased by each student with a computer.

After an hour, Meng Yang didn't buy many spices, and wherever he passed, students from other Academies always looked at him secretly. Knowing they were just curious, Meng Yang didn't care much. Anyway, when he was at his own Academy, this happened often, so he was used to it. But there were some people who had been following him all the way for a long time, and it was difficult for him to ignore them.

"Why are you following me?" turning to look at the people who followed him, Meng Yang asked. He knew they were not malicious. Not to mention his bodyguard was next to him, they didn't dare to get too close. However, if he kept letting them follow like this, he himself would feel quite uncomfortable.

When those people saw Meng Yang turning around suddenly and asking them questions, they looked at other places embarrassed.

"I'm really sorry." Zhao Jing stepped forward from the crowd and then looked at Meng Yang before saying, "We have no ill intentions, but they wanted to ask you for your sign... We are sorry for disturbing you."

Zhao Jing wanted to pull them away several times just now, telling them it was rude to follow others like this, but they just didn't listen. Because they had heard rumours about how Meng Yang's ability to distinguish spices was very good, they couldn't help but follow behind Meng Yang, wanting to see how he identified spices. It was true they wanted to ask him for an autograph, but no one dared to take the initiative to talk to him.

"When you return to the villa, you can come to me again. Don't follow me now, hurry up and buy spices." Meng Yang spoke calmly. Although he didn't quite understand the significance of getting a signature, it's not like he must understand everything. And the things he doesn't understand, he would not think it is wrong. After all, everyone had their own ideas, and what one person did not understand might be a very meaningful thing for others.

"Okay." Zhao Jing apologised again embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry."

Meng Yang turned around and continued to walk forward. It was not an easy thing even for Meng Yang to pick up the leaks among so many spices.

After strolling for two or three hours, Meng Yang and Wu Feng met at the teahouse they had made an appointment with, had something to eat and rested, as they had to hurry up and continue shopping afterwards.

"Is that all you got?" Wu Feng looked at the spices Meng Yang had bought before saying, "As soon as I entered here, my desire for shopping exploded. I wanted to buy everything I saw and wished I could buy them all. So I can just go back and use whatever I want."

"We'll be here for quite some time. Master explained I must buy as little as possible for the event today. The rest of the things I want to get can be bought later on." Meng Yang explained.

"I knew Master would definitely tell you, so I didn't care whether I picked up the leaks or not. I bought whatever I liked. Anyway, with you here, the first place this time will definitely not be someone else." Wu Feng spoke in a sure tone.

A group of people sat at the round table two or three tables away from Meng Yang and the others. They all looked like students. There were two or three of them who laughed mockingly at Wu Feng's words. As their voices were so loud, it was clear that they were loud on purpose.
