ACBNHTS Chapter 3

Chapter 3 He Has a Child

The moment the barrage appeared, Sheng Yiguang didn’t take it to heart.

He trusted Pei Du more, believed in Pei Du’s love.

Believed that human effort could change reality and the future.

That the future could be held in one’s own hands.

But later, big and small events in his life were predicted.

Right after the exam, the barrage accurately predicted his final grades. A gift, not yet opened, was described by the barrage. He clearly made different choices, yet the ending was the same.

And then, the death of Pei Du’s parents.

Sheng Yiguang learned about it in advance from the barrage and rushed there desperately, but he couldn’t stop the car accident.

Perhaps everything was predestined, his efforts, his struggles, were all in the script. Their lives were pushed forward by the “plot’s” big hand…

Every second, someone was cursing.

“Why don’t you just die?”

“He’s just relying on a bit of first love sentiment to keep harming others. He probably thinks it’s the right thing to do~~”

“Do you really love Pei Du? If you love someone, you can’t bear to see him sad. You’re making him choose between you and Wen Heng, torturing himself, you don’t love him at all!”

“You think you’re fighting fate, but it’s so obvious he doesn’t love you. If you don’t have brains, you have eyes, right?”

“Take a piss and look at yourself. You’re inferior and timid. What do you have to compare with Xiao Wen?”

“You should rot with your original family!”

“Let us cheer for his ending where he doesn’t die a good death!”

…

Every second, someone told him.

Pei Du’s destined partner was Wen Heng, not Sheng Yiguang.

Helplessness, despair.

After the death of Pei Du’s parents, debts piled up, and Pei Du was forced to drop out of school.

The barrage told Sheng Yiguang what would happen next.

Pei Du, not wanting to burden him, would break up with him, drive him away, and face the darkest moment of his life alone.

At that time, Wen Heng appeared by Pei Du’s side, recognized Pei Du as the grandson of Lingang’s richest man, and took Pei Du back to the wealthy family.

In the power struggles of the wealthy family, the two supported each other, gradually developed feelings, stumbled along the way, and finally achieved a positive result.

And he, this white moonlight, because of jealousy, snobbery, and regret, repeatedly interfered with and sabotaged their relationship, gradually eroding Pei Du’s good feelings towards him, and when he died, no one collected his body, and he was cursed by everyone.

Sheng Yiguang was exhausted.

He couldn’t bear to part with Pei Du.

But even if he ignored the plot that would lead to the same outcome no matter what, didn’t break up with Pei Du, and prevented Wen Heng from appearing, how could he, on his own, reach the threshold of Lingang’s richest man thousands of miles away and tell them that Pei Du was a descendant of a wealthy family?

Those debt collectors came every day.

They were fierce.

The barrage said that Pei Du would be surrounded and intercepted by debt collectors, his hands and feet broken, and if Wen Heng didn’t appear, Pei Du wouldn’t even be able to save his life.

This was not a time to tentatively choose; he couldn’t gamble with Pei Du’s safety.

Since Pei Du’s destiny wasn’t his, he could let go.

Let the official pairing appear a little earlier.

Let Pei Du not suffer.

Sheng Yiguang went to see Wen Heng.

He was a very beautiful, cute boy with two dimples when he smiled, and he looked very warm.

This was Pei Du’s official pairing.

Pei Du was proud and dazzling and should get the best lover destined for him.

Sheng Yiguang was happy for Pei Du.

Willing to make it happen, choosing to make it happen.

He broke up with Pei Du, said hurtful, nasty things, blacklisted all contact methods, and compiled Pei Du’s living habits and preferences, and gave them to Wen Heng, hoping they could skip the adjustment period and take good care of Pei Du.

Wen Heng gave him thirty thousand as thanks.

Two hundred and thirty-seven days after the breakup.

The barrage disappeared.

Pei Du and Wen Heng’s names seemed to have completely disappeared from his world as well.

In these four years, he had never forgotten Pei Du, but he had never intended to see Pei Du.

But…

He woke up and everything was back to square one.

The power of the plot only slightly made a move, and he, drunk, became an escaped beast, completely out of control, and was caught and brought back.

Sure enough.

The same destination by different paths.

Seeing that Sheng Yiguang didn’t mean to explain, Sheng Tong grabbed his hand.

“Sheng Yiguang, why don’t you find someone else? What do you think of Teacher Zhou? I quite like him.”

“Don’t talk nonsense, go to sleep.”

“Oh…”

Sheng Tong obediently lay down, “Sheng Yiguang, good night.”

“Good night.”

Perhaps because he thought about the barrage before going to bed, Sheng Yiguang dreamed of those barrages after falling asleep.

[Pei Du and Wen Heng are the best in the world! Those who don’t ship our Du Heng are in trouble!]

[I want to promote my CP to the world]

[So annoying, if it weren’t for that Sheng Yiguang, Pei Du and Wen Heng wouldn’t have to go through so many twists and turns]

[Author, can you delete this character?]

[Delete him]

[Delete him]

[Delete him]

[Delete him]

[Delete him]

[Delete him]

…

Like a curse, like a rope, binding Sheng Yiguang’s hands and feet, dragging him into the cold, dark depths of the sea…

–

In just one day, the entire company knew that a large enterprise was going to make an acquisition, and rumors about layoffs spread like wildfire.

Everyone worked as seriously as if they were injected with chicken blood, trying to show themselves off, fearing being laid off.

In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday.

Sheng Yiguang took Sheng Tong to Zhou Zibai’s appointment.

The restaurant had a very good environment, high-end and elegant, the dishes were delicious, Zhou Zibai’s words were humorous, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was very good.

Halfway through the meal, Sheng Yiguang saw a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

Before he could remember who it was, that figure disappeared.

On the third floor of the restaurant, there was a semi-business dinner.

The center of the dinner was Pei Du.

Everyone at the table flattered him with comments.

They tried to find some connection with Pei Du, tracing their ancestry three times around the Earth, even going back five hundred years.

“President Pei may not remember, but we studied at the same high school. I was in the opposite building at the time and admired your demeanor every day.”

The corner of Pei Du’s mouth twitched a bit, his tone faint.

“Is that so?”

“Yes, yes, yes. I had a strong admiration for you at that time!”

“What do you admire about me?”

“Everything! Just the fact that you were admitted to Tsinghua back then made me admire you immensely. By the way, when I came up, I met Sheng Yiguang, the top student in our class who was recommended to Tsinghua, downstairs. I wonder if President Pei remembers him?”

Pei Du sat up straighter slightly, but showed a lack of interest.

“Is that so?”

The man continued, “Yes, yes, yes, although they both went to Tsinghua, people are still different. He doesn’t seem to be doing very well and he’s bringing a child.”

Pei Du’s eyebrows sank slightly, “Child?”

“Yes, he looks five parts like him. You can tell they’re related at first glance!”

Pei Du’s secretary sat on the side, watching as his boss’s eyes narrowed after hearing these words, and a smile rose on his lips.

“Is that so? Then I really have to congratulate him.”

He was clearly smiling, but the cold arc would be recognizable to anyone close to him.

The more sincerely he smiled, the more ruthless he would kill.

Someone was going to be unlucky.

After the dinner ended, the secretary accompanied his boss back to the company.

Pei Du asked him for the information on XSB.

This was a cultural and creative company that had been established in recent years, and Pei Du had proposed an acquisition plan last month.

The secretary watched as he opened a list.

This list was a roster of employees that the President Pei had personally decided would be promoted and given a raise after the company was acquired.

President Pei took out a piece of paper from it and put it on the layoff list.

A well-knitted hand tapped on the information, and dark tides surged in his dark pupils.

“If he has any objections, let him come to me.”

Secretary: The unlucky guy has appeared.
