Chapter 29 p1
The original host was twenty-three years old this year. If he were from an ordinary family, he should have been married long ago. Some who married early even had children running around. When the original host’s parents were still alive, it wasn’t that they hadn’t looked for girls for him and arranged blind dates, but the original host would either not show up or just muddle through. When they asked him what type of girl he liked, he would also be vague and couldn’t give a definite answer.
Father Lu and Mother Lu were anxious in their hearts. They only thought that their child was playful and his heart had not yet settled, but they didn’t know that their own son was simply not interested in girls.
He liked men like himself.
In this era, the word “homosexuality” had not yet entered the public eye, but if one were to say more colloquially that a man liked a man, it would only be met with strange looks from others, and even more seriously, it was a disease.
Even if the original host was a scoundrel, he did not dare to tell his parents about this matter. He could only hide it and, at the same time, have to find ways to deal with the girls his parents arranged for him.
But now, both of Lu’s parents were gone, and there were no elders in the Lu family. Although the original host felt guilty, he was also relieved, and his heart began to stir.
But to say that he would mess around outside, he definitely wouldn’t dare. The original host also had no way of understanding this aspect, so he had been holding it in. It wasn’t until this accident that the original host met Xu Qingyan, and he slowly began to have ideas.
It could only be said that Xu Qingyan was worthy of being a scholar. He was different from the other children in the countryside. The original host couldn’t say exactly where he was different, but it was just that feeling, gentle and refined. Even when he was working and sweating profusely, he was different from the other rural men.
In addition, with this life-saving grace, the original host used the name of gratitude to run to the Xu family time and again, helping the Xu family with their work and helping Xu’s father buy medicine and see a doctor. He was very attentive. Xu Qingyan was originally very wary of him, but as time went on, and he persisted, he also realized that he was truly grateful for the kindness, and his attitude towards the original host also slowly softened.
But what the original host wanted was obviously more than that. Although he had no experience, he had a handsome face and was used to saying sweet words. He also gradually became close to Xu Qingyan, and slowly crossed the line.
When Xu Qingyan first noticed his thoughts, he couldn’t believe it. He thought that his own thoughts were dirty and that he had thought wrong. But the original host’s undisguised intimate attitude, coupled with Xu Qingyan’s subtle probing, the moment he understood his intentions, Xu Qingyan was completely at a loss and dazed.
He was still a child after all. Even when his father had an accident, it did not exceed the scope of his own understanding. But this matter really made his mind go blank, and the knowledge he had learned all along could not solve his confusion at all, but he instinctively felt that this matter was wrong.
He began to deliberately avoid the original host’s contact and keep his distance from him. How could the original host not notice? Besides, he had put in so much effort. How could he easily let go? He was much older than Xu Qingyan after all. Sweet words, all kinds of tricks were used, and he coaxed and deceived the young man who was six years younger than him into his hands.
At that time, Xu Qingyan was only seventeen years old. In addition to taking care of his family every day, his entire body and mind were focused on his studies. But at this age when he still did not know what love was, he was lured into the path of homosexuality.
He knew that this path was difficult, but he did not clearly realize how difficult this path was. But by the time he realized it, he was already trapped in a quagmire, unable to struggle free.
After the two got together, they also had a period of intimacy, but unfortunately, from the very beginning, the two were not from the same world.
Even if Xu Qingyan was temporarily in a low point, he also clearly knew what he wanted and was always working hard for his goals. But the original host was unenterprising. His ambition was higher than the sky, but his ability was clearly not up to par. He spent his days with his group of brothers doing this business and that business, dreaming of reaching the sky in one step, but the result was that he squandered all the inheritance his parents had left him.
Xu Qingyan could not stand his style and had kindly advised him countless times. At first, the original host would patiently listen to a few words, but later he became more and more irritable.
The conflict between the two also became deeper and deeper. After the honeymoon period, the real problems became more and more. What Xu Qingyan could not stand the most was that the original host would not let him continue his studies.
The original host knew that Xu Qingyan was smart, but he was also worried that his intelligence would eventually make him fly out of this small county, and he would meet more people. At that time, what would he use to tie him down?
So he wanted to break his wings, force him to give up his future, and be a bird that stayed in a cage and depended on him, obedient and docile.
But for Xu Qingyan, studying, the college entrance examination, this was the future, and it was also the goal he had always insisted on. How could he easily give it up?
The two argued more and more, and in the end, it even turned into a fight. Their feelings for each other also gradually wore away. Every time Xu’s father saw the wounds on his face, he would always be vague and muddle through, and he was physically and mentally exhausted in secret.
He proposed to break up, but the original host was unwilling. Even if there were so many frictions between the two, the original host was unwilling to let him go free and let him fly away.
What made Xu Qingyan collapse the most was that after the college entrance examination, after receiving the admission notice from his dream university, he watched as the original host burned his long-awaited admission notice to ashes.
The two had the most intense quarrel. The original host did not hide his malice at all and showed the despicable nature that had been hidden under his sweet appearance to the fullest, clearly telling Xu Qingyan that he was a hoodlum, that he was such a rotten person.
He could happily accept it not long after his own parents died, and he could also pull his life-saving benefactor into that dirty quagmire without any guilt, so that he would never be able to escape for the rest of his life.
In the end, the relationship between the two was somehow exposed to Xu’s father, who was on his sickbed. After the original host found out, he was not guilty at all. In the face of Xu’s father’s questioning, he instead sneered triumphantly, “Do you think you can eat such good medicine for no reason? Do you think Xu Qingyan can find a good job in the city for no reason? Of course, it’s all earned by your good son!”
“This is what your good son begged me for with his ass in the air!”
Hearing this, Xu Qingyan’s face turned pale. Xu’s father spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted. In the end, he died in front of Xu Qingyan after rescue efforts in the hospital failed.
From then on, the two were sworn enemies.
Lu Ze rubbed his head and muttered in a low voice, “A seventeen-year-old kid. I can’t believe he could do it.”
Having just returned from the modern world, a seventeen-year-old was a high school student in his mind, and he might not even have finished developing.
777 also said, “Otherwise, why would you say he’s a scumbag?”
“The Host’s mission is to protect Xu Qingyan from these disturbances and ensure that he lives a safe and smooth life.”
Lu Ze said, “I know.”
As he spoke, he got out of bed, found a piece of clothing from the closet, and walked to the table. He looked at the bowl of still-thick white porridge and drank it all.
777 asked him, “Does the Host have any plans now?”
Lu Ze glanced at the sky outside and said, “I’ll go into the mountains first.”
777 asked, “Does the Host have any arrangements?”
Lu Ze said, “Someone saved your life. Shouldn’t you show your gratitude?”
It was not convenient to go to the city now, so he might as well go to the nearby mountains.
It was not easy to hunt in winter, but Lu Ze had already honed his skills in so many worlds, and with the system’s assistance, it was not difficult.
777 agreed, a little excited.
