Chapter 63: Arc 6 - Treat It Like a Treasure
This time, Qing Yun woke up in a soft king-sized bed, making his eyes flash with amazement. He was faced with various situations in the previous worlds he had crossed, and it was the first time he encountered a calm and quiet start like this.
Qing Yun surveyed the room furnishings as he slowly sat up.
Although the room is large, the arrangement is simple, with only a huge bookshelf indicating the taste of the owner of the room. The person living in such a room probably couldn’t have set up a study, so there are still many books in the bedroom. It’s easy to see that the owner is indeed into books.
The huge mirror in the room revealed Qing Yun’s current body. The young man sitting on the bed has a slightly upright figure but still with a touch of softness and tenderness. The light chestnut hair sets off the softness even more prominently.
Qing Yun’s soul received the information of this world.
His current name is Shen Mingye. On the surface, he is just a freshman at the Drama Academy of E country, but he is also the only heir of the Patterson family, the leader of the transportation industry in E country. It’s just that the name he usually uses is the surname of his mother from C country.
Shen Mingye has the most fervent pursuit of art and delicate sentiments. Shen Mingye is the only son of his parents and was spoiled by his family since childhood.
Eventually, he, the only heir, turned into a playwright obsessed with his art and had no interest in the family business under the love of his parents.
His parents were naturally anxious when they saw this and wanted to bring their crooked son back, but before they could figure out what to do, they both passed away in an accident. At that time, the family was in chaos, and Feng Fei Ming, who had grown up in the Patterson household, stepped forward to stabilize the situation.
Shen Mingye’s mother was a distant aunt of Feng Fei Ming. Since Feng Fei Ming’s parents died when he was a child, his relatives pushed him around. Finally, they brought him to Shen Mingye’s family. After he became an adult, Feng Fei Ming also started his own company. Once he took over the Patterson family, he didn’t panic and quickly managed the business in an orderly manner.
Feng Fei Ming is the protagonist of this world. After he took over the Patterson family, he shone all the way, beating the face of his relatives who had previously ignored him and even attracted the attention of Yoder Elmond, the head of the most established and oldest noble family in E country.
The strong and the powerful collided with each other attractively and finally achieved a good story.
It is reasonable to say that this has nothing to do with Shen Mingye because, after all, he only has drama in his heart and has no idea and ability to seize power from Feng Fei Ming. Although Feng Fei Ming possessed his status as the heir, he supported him, and that’s it. Shen Mingye, who is full of artistic dreams, simply does not get in Feng Fei Ming’s way.
But Shen Mingye’s blunder was that when his parents were still alive, the Patterson family and Yoder’s Elmond family decided to join in marriage. In an era where marriages between men are legal, and even offsprings can be successfully obtained through technological means, there was a marriage contract between Shen Mingye and Yoder.
However, under the terrible news of both parents’ death, he, who originally only regarded Feng Fei Ming as his elder brother, fell in love with Feng Fei Ming, who stood up to carry his family’s burden and took much care of him at that time.
Therefore, both Shen Mingye and Yoder are not satisfied with the marriage contract. Still, their conflicts remain irreconcilable because both of them are in love with the protagonist of this world, Feng Fei Ming.
Feng Fei Ming has no interest in Shen Mingye at all, and after being moved by Yoder, he was extremely unhappy because of the marriage contract between the two.
However, Feng Fei Ming found that Shen Mingye’s entanglement with him seemed to make Yoder, who only treated him as a good friend, jealous. To tame this arrogant man, Feng Fei Ming kept Shen Mingye by his side and made a full play in front of Yoder.
He was extremely gentle to Shen Mingye and repeatedly made some ambiguous actions, which provoked Yoder and ruffled Shen Mingye, a teenager who has just started to fall in love.
Shen Mingye, who felt that he had received a response, was ecstatic, and he boldly approached Yoder’s father to ask for a withdrawal of the agreement and unreservedly released his love to Feng Fei Ming.
But he did not know that what he got in return was only Feng Fei Ming’s use laced with disgust.
Poor Shen Mingye, a young man full of longing for love and filled with a bubble of romance, acted as a heater for Feng Fei Ming and Yoder’s feelings.
Eventually, the marriage agreement between the Patterson and Elmond families fell to Feng Fei Ming and Yoder, and they were sweetly together.
"
"
Shen Mingye’s love was a tragedy, and he, the rightful heir of the Patterson family, was not only driven out of the family by Feng Fei Ming, but also no director in the circle dared to use the script written by him.
Both his love and ideals were shattered, and Shen Mingye, who had just become an adult for a short time and had difficulty sustaining himself, became depressed amidst the trampling of people in the circle and the disbelief and longing for Feng Fei Ming.
His heart full of romantic feelings disappeared without a trace. Shen Mingye eventually jumped down from the sky garden where he and Feng Fei Ming first met as children, leaving the world with his disbelief and disappointment in love.
This innocent teenager couldn’t understand until his death. Since he didn’t like him, why didn’t he reject him directly at first, and why did he give him hope?
After going through this world’s plot in his mind, Qing Yun’s expression turned cold, and his eyebrows sank slightly.
The fiancé doesn’t fancy him, and the one he likes is just using him.
Shen Mingye is indeed weak and cannot carry the burden of the family, but because of this, does he deserve to be played with emotionally and used by others?
It’s all love, but why did Feng Fei Ming and Yoder end up together and get everyone’s blessing, while Shen Ming Ye was kicked out of the house and died from depression?
Their love is incredibly precious, while Shen Mingye’s love is trash that is allowed to be trampled on rudely and despicably?
Qing Yun tugged out a soft smile towards the mirror that matches his current body’s image, but his long, thin eyebrows and a pair of amber eyes showed a cold light.
This time, he wants everyone to treat Shen Mingye’s love as if it were precious.
After getting up and washing, there was a knock from outside the door.
“Please, come in.” Qing Yun stared at the book in his hand and did not pay extra attention to the one who entered, but his tone was the usual polite one of Shen Mingye.
The robot butler in a tuxedo walked in and nodded toward Qing Yun. His electronic eyes that looked no different from a human’s scanned Qing Yun’s entire body, while other cameras installed on his body also scanned all corners of Shen Mingye’s room.
The technology in this world is already very advanced, and the existence of robot butlers has become very common. It is with this advanced technology that people pay more attention to the entertainment industry. Directors, scriptwriters, authors, and other professions that can create such creative consumer goods are highly respected in this era.
Because of this, when they found out that their son had a talent different from ordinary people, Shen Mingye’s parents spoiled him in a way that they eventually brought him up with such a character in this particular family.
Not noticing any difference between today’s Shen Mingye and his usual, the butler then withdrew his various visions measuring Qing Yun and spoke with respect. “The master has been waiting in the dining room for a long time. May I ask the young master to go down for dinner?”
“Okay.” Hearing the butler mention Feng Fei Ming, Shen Mingye’s attention was immediately drawn, “You let Fei Ming eat first. I’ll be right there.”
Seeing Shen Mingye agree, the butler once again bowed, turned around, and walked out of Shen Mingye’s room.
The Shen Mingye-kind of melancholy in Qing Yun’s eyes did not change. He put the book in his hands back on the shelf and slowly contemplated in his mind.
Feng Fei Ming did not want a silly, innocent person like Shen Mingye. His goal was clear: since he accepted the Patterson family, he would like to be in complete power. However, he is still not an official head of the family and not even an heir following the formal inheritance ceremony.
The old families in E Country have complicated roots. It is better to say that the family is an organization, so there are often some tokens that prove the identity of the head of the family. Therefore, Feng Fei Ming wants the token of the Patterson family to completely seal the mouth of some old geezers in the family.
But where this token is, only Shen Mingye knows. So, Feng Fei Ming wanted to get the token but was afraid of arousing Shen Mingye’s wariness and could not ask directly. He had to monitor Shen Mingye’s every move through the robot butler every day and was also afraid that he would make a move to seize power.
Thinking of this, a trace of irony flooded Qing Yun’s eyes. Feng Fei Ming was a cautious person, and because of his experiences as a child, he would not put his trust in anyone. Therefore, he would not even think that with Shen Mingye’s love for him, he could ask for the token, and Shen Mingye would just give it to him without any suspicions at all.
However, it was really a bit difficult to get this token. Because Shen Mingye does not care about these things, he does not have a deep impression of it in his mind. He only vaguely remembers that his father entrusted this token to the underground organization that controls the whole E country. He needs to find the person in charge of this organization with a code number and go through layers of hurdles and procedures to get it.
Without pondering for too long, Qing Yun quickly went downstairs.
A young man with a face like a crown jade sat at a long table in the dining room. Unlike Shen Mingye’s mixed-race face, he had a completely Oriental face, with the unique ambiguity and charm of an Oriental.
However, the young man with a purely Oriental face and had no blood relationship with the Patterson family did not feel out of place in this European-style living room.
Even the robot butler standing beside him is programmed to set Feng Fei Ming as the only master.
Unfortunately, this silly and innocent Shen Mingye did not notice anything wrong at all.
The moment Feng Fei Ming turned his head to look over, Qing Yun’s eyes had surfaced a kind of love. This is Shen Mingye’s feelings for Feng Fei Ming. With Qing Yun’s acting skills and experience, it is not difficult to play Shen Mingye, this simple child at heart.
The love in his eyes became even more passionate and dazzling because of his shyness. Just one glance can clearly make people feel the love gushing out like lava from the young man’s heart.
As if burned by the hot love in the young man’s penetrating amber eyes, Feng Fei Ming froze for a moment before he turned his face and greeted Shen Mingye affectionately under his breath, “Why are you only coming down now? From what the housekeeper said, you were reading again in the morning. Why do you need to work so hard?”
As soon as he heard this tone that implied false favor, Qing Yun knew that Yoder was definitely present.
Although Feng Fei Ming said this to him, his eyes looked at Yoder, who had come to the Patterson family as a guest yesterday and had stayed until this morning. When he saw Yoder’s cold face and his vaguely hostile gaze towards Shen Mingye, the corners of Feng Fei Ming’s mouth flew up, and a flash of pleasure quickly flashed in his eyes.
At this time, he could not help but sigh once again. It was indeed a smart decision to keep the eyesore Shen Mingye. Although the marriage contract on Shen Mingye was a headache, this waste-like thing could finally be of some use.
Shen Mingye seemed to have not seen the wonderful atmosphere between the two people at the table. The smile on his face obviously darkened after seeing Yoder. He said hello, but his eyes were evasive, obviously not wanting to communicate too much with him, his “fiancé”.
Shen Mingye walked straight to Feng Fei Ming and sat down beside him, whispering to him: “Because it’s the book you gave me, so I can’t wait to read it.”
The young man’s soft and thoughtful words did not stir any fluctuations in Feng Fei Ming’s heart. He had a smile on his face, and his eyes were very calm.
But next to him, Yoder could not restrain a frown of displeasure. His gaze turned to Shen Mingye, who was sitting beside Feng Fei Ming, and his heart was full of dissatisfaction that their conversation was interrupted.
He has been coming to the Patterson family recently. Others only thought he was concerned about his fiancé, who suffered from the incident in his family. But only he knew that he was here for Feng Fei Ming.
Yoder has long met Feng Fei Ming in the business world. This decisive and sharp young man from the East has left a deep impression on him, and Yoder can’t help but draw him as a good friend.
Later, when he met Feng Fei Ming in the Patterson family, Yoder could not help but think of what the East called “fate”. The Oriental young man took over the Patterson family and put the business in order, making Yoder even more impressed.
On the contrary, his fiancé made him very unhappy.
Just thinking of Shen Mingye, who was well-behaved like a little sheep, Yoder couldn’t conceal the sarcasm at the corners of his mouth.
Came to see him? What did he have to see? After the Pattersons’ death, the one who had the most challenging time was Fei Ming, who took over the family business.
Yoder didn’t think there was anything wrong with Feng Fei Ming, who had grown up with the Patterson family’s favors, taking advantage of the situation.
