Forced to Date a Big Shot - Chapter 531

Chapter 531: As Long As He Was Well

When He Gao saw Feng Yan, his body stiffened again.

Months after He Gao had last seen him, Feng Yan had lost a lot of weight. His cheekbones were sunken and his chin revealed a black stubble. He looked especially miserable.

His eyes were red and swollen, and he reeked of alcohol.

He was like a completely different person from the man who was magnificent and who seemed like nothing could crush him.

For Xue Xi, Qin Shuang, and Flame Number One, Gao Yanchen’s departure was like having a piece of their flesh dug out, but it was heartbreaking for Feng Yan.

In order to protect his younger brother, Feng Yan had kept away from him for five years. In the end, he still died in the hands of the man in black.

Then what were the five years they had spent apart for?

Moreover, how did the man in black find Gao Yanchen? Was it because of that competition?

Although he was wearing a mask and a hat, those could not conceal his aura. Had he been discovered?

These thoughts tortured Feng Yan bitterly and had been making him suffer for the past few months.

He had finished walking around the foot of the entire Bin Mountain. There were Gao Yanchen’s torn clothes on the mountain, and the edges had been burnt. There were also the remains of his phone and every object he had with him, except for his person.

The explanation given by the police was that there were many wild beasts on the mountain. Perhaps the dismembered corpse had been eaten by the animals after the explosion.

When he heard this, Feng Yan’s heart ached for an entire month.

The younger brother he’d protected, Gao Yanchen, did not even have an intact corpse in the end. How ironic and senseless was this!

He could not accept this!

Therefore, he started drinking and smoking, not allowing himself to have any time to sober up. He was afraid that when he thought of Gao Yanchen, his heart would ache so much that he would not be able to breathe!

I can’t think. I can’t read up on things.

But how could he not want to read about it?

He had never logged into the POG game again, afraid that he would recall the times when he played support and Gao Yanchen played marksman.

Feng Yan gave up on himself and felt that his only family in this world was gone.

However, he had never imagined that that person would one day stand before him, alive.

Feng Yan looked at He Gao almost greedily.

Familiar eyes, familiar eyebrows, familiar nose, familiar mouth.

And the familiar scent of youth.

Other than his hair changing color, this person didn’t seem to have changed at all.

How could he not recognize him?

How could he be mistaken?

He was his Gao Yanchen!

Feng Yan’s hands were trembling. He wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he could not say anything.

His eyes met He Gao’s.

In just five or six seconds, it felt like a century had passed.

In the end, Feng Yan retracted his gaze first.

Only then did He Gao seem to understand something. He lowered his gaze and used his shirt to wipe the sweat on his forehead. At the same time, he blocked out Qin Shuang and Flame Number One’s burning gazes.

Then, he turned around and walked in another direction with his teammates.

However, after he’d taken two steps, Qin Shuang and Flame Number One could not help but step forward and shout again, “Brother Chen!”

He Gao’s footsteps faltered.

But after a slight pause, he quickened his pace and followed his teammates in another direction.

He wanted to escape because he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to hold back and would reunite with them!

‘Yes.’

He was Gao Yanchen.

Gao Yanchen without his red hair.

The black-haired Gao Yanchen was this new student. His current name was He Gao. Not only did he have to protect himself before he possessed absolute strength, but he also had to acquire more knowledge and skills. Then, he would avenge his parents!

The responsibility on his shoulders should not be shouldered by these three.

When He Gao thought of this, panic appeared in his eyes.

Just as he was feeling afraid that Qin Shuang and Flame Number One would rush up and stop him, questioning if he was Gao Yanchen, a hoarse but mellow voice suddenly came from behind him. “He’s not Xiao Chen.”

He Gao was taken aback.

Tears welled up in his eyes.

Even though it had been many months, just like after those five years they had been apart, as long as they met again, he would understand him with just one look.

Feng Yan understood him.

He Gao lowered his head. Then, he wiped the corners of his eyes.

“He is, he is. How can he not be?” Flame Number One asked impulsively, his voice loud.

Qin Shuang was also puzzled. “Feng Yan, are you blind? He’s Brother Chen!”

A smile finally appeared on Feng Yan’s weathered face, but his words were sonorous and powerful. “He’s not.”

He looked at Flame Number One and Qin Shuang. “If I say he isn’t, he isn’t. Do you know him better than me?”

This sentence stunned Flame Number One and Qin Shuang.

Feng Yan said that he knew Gao Yanchen better than them.

He was right.

But what did this mean?

After seeing the photo, the two of them, who had been so excited to reunite with him, finally regained their senses for the first time.

Brother Chen didn’t die. Why was he at Huaxia University?

Why didn’t Brother Chen acknowledge them?

Why did Brother Chen pretend not to know them when he saw them just now?

At this moment, their hearts sank.

For the first time, Qin Shuang and Flame Number One realized that if He Gao was Gao Yanchen, why hadn’t Sister Xi, who had been attending classes at Huaxia University for so long, told them?

There was only one answer.

Brother Chen had his difficulties and secrets.

Qin Shuang and Flame Number One’s eyes welled up again. The two of them looked at each other and said in unison, “Yes, we were wrong.”

As friends, they would feel at ease knowing that he was still alive.

When he heard their words, He Gao’s eyes reddened.

He wiped the corners of his eyes again. His teammate beside him asked, “He Gao, why are your eyes red?”

He Gao replied, “Sweat is dripping into my eyes.”

“Uh-oh.”

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind. “You, you, you’re XH’s Feng Yan?”

This sentence made everyone around look over and surround Feng Yan.

“It’s really Feng Yan!”

“No, why did you become like this?”

“The great demon king of the past, why is he in such dire straits now?”

“…”

There were also Feng Yan’s anti-fans who stood out at this moment to ridicule and sneer. “Feng Yan? That’s really true. Tsk tsk, back then, you were so glorious on the field! I didn’t expect that there would be a day where you would be reduced to such a state!”

“Quick, let me take a photo and upload it online! The current Feng Yan is an alcoholic trash! I heard that you left just like that. You abandoned your team without a care. Do you even have a heart?”

“Feng Yan, can I ask if your conscience hurts? How could you do this to XH? This is betrayal! Aren’t you disgusting?!”

A group of indignant fans surrounded Feng Yan and the others.

He Gao, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
