Chapter 42

Si Yanci listened to Fei Qingsu’s words, and a different kind of light ignited in his eyes. Never had anyone spoken to him like this. Never had anyone encouraged him or provided him with such positive energy. He was only a seventeen-year-old boy, yet he had already attempted to slit his wrists more than once. Fei Qingsu recalled the plot of the original story. The hero’s parents were truly bizarre; logically, if the hero—the CEO of a major corporation—had disappeared, his parents should have been frantic to find him and groom their second son to prepare for any contingency. But in the actual story, not only did the parents fail to protect their second son after the first incident, they also blamed the hero’s disappearance on Si Yanci, convinced that he was cursed and would bring misfortune to the family.
