Chapter 1: Are you sick?

  Zhang He turned back with a puzzled face and said to Tang Chong: "Looking for you."

  She said: "How strange! Why is he staring at me and calling me Tang Xin? Is he mistaken about who I am?"

  Bai Su laughed and scolded, saying: "You really are clever in big things but muddled in small ones. You and Tang Xin are both members of the Butterfly Combination - when he saw you, he probably guessed that Tang Xin was also in this car... who is he? A fan of Tang Xin?"

  Zhang He stuck his head out and took a look, saying: "It shouldn't be. I just heard that he's a student at Nan Da - he and Xinxin Jie were even schoolmates before. Hmm, maybe they're still a couple. Because of Tang Xin's celebrity status, their relationship was hard to expose... later Xinxin Jie unfortunately fell ill, and the two didn't even get to say goodbye. Alas, poor Xinxin Jie, poor Gao Shan, a pair of star-crossed lovers."

  "Have you been watching too much Qiong Yao?" Bai Su patted Zhang Heben's head and said, "Close the car window."

  "Shouldn't we invite him over as a guest?" Zhang He said regretfully. "He looks so pitiful."

  "Invite him over and let Tang Chong talk about romance with him?" Bai Su teased, looking at Tang Chong.

  "Hmm, this idea isn't bad." Zhang He clapped his hands in approval. "Anyway, Tang Chong is Heart's substitute, if he accepts her identity, then he should also accept her feelings... I really want to see two men dating each other!"

  "Alright, alright. You're just afraid that the world is too peaceful." Bai Su hastily interrupted her unrealistic fantasy. "If you want to see it, are there not enough circles inside?"

  "But in our circle, there's no cross-dressing to go on a romantic date with a man." Zhang He said. Then his eyes lit up and he said: "Just thinking about it makes me feel so excited."

  "Tang Xin, I am Gao Shan ----- Tang Xin, I have something to say to you"

  The boy was still shouting hoarsely behind, but the Mercedes-Benz had slowly driven in.

  The electronic gate closed again, like a natural moat separating the people inside from those outside.

  I don't know what's going on, but Tang Chong's mood is also a bit heavy, as if he were the woman who abandoned people.

  Because they hadn't eaten dinner yet, everyone was a bit hungry. Fortunately, Bai Su had called ahead of time to arrange things, and when they returned to the villa, the maid had already prepared their meal.

  After dinner, Lin Huiyin and Zhang Hebo went upstairs to rest separately.

  Bai Su looked at Tang Chong and said: "Anyway, you don't have classes tomorrow, so just sleep here."

  "Ah, Ken also advised: "Yes, be careful. Today is a tiring day, don't run around anymore. That's too hard. We can still drink and chat tonight-"

  "Alright." Tang Zhong replied.

  Then he said to Ah Ken: "I don't drink and I'm not fond of chatting at night."

  "It's alright. As long as you're living here, I'm happy." Ah Ken chuckled.

  Tang Chong and Bai Su exchanged a glance, and both of them stood up and returned to their room.

  Stay away from Ah Ken, refuse to be gay.

  A night of silence.

  At 6:00 am, Tang Chong pushed open the door of his room and got up for exercise again.

  The sound of "Boom Boom Boom" and "Pa Pa Pa" came again, but none of the windows upstairs were opened, nor did anyone throw anything downstairs.

  Tang Chong found it strange, could it be that they were too tired from filming commercials yesterday, so they all slept very soundly today?

  An hour of exercise time ended, Tang Zhong wiped the sweat from his forehead and body with a towel as he walked into the house.

  The moment he pushed open the big gate, a shocking scene appeared before his eyes.

  Zhang He was sitting on the sofa with his computer playing games, Lin Huiyin was sitting in the corner watching TV, Bai Su and Aken were sitting at the dining table eating breakfast, and the maid was bringing over fried eggs and milk.

  They all got up?

  "Be careful, wash off the stench on your body and come over to eat breakfast quickly." Ah Ken, wearing a zebra-striped pajama, said with a flirtatious face to Tang Chong.

  Tang nodded seriously and went back to his room to take a bath.

  When he reappeared in the living room, Zhang Heben and Lin Huiyin were already seated at the dining table eating breakfast.

  "Why are you getting up so early?" Tang Chong pulled out a chair and sat down in a position far away from Ah Ken.

  "It's also strange," said Bai Su with a smile. "When you lived on this side, every day at 6 o'clock in the morning, you would get up and disturb our beautiful dreams, we even had the idea of chopping you up... Later when you didn't live here, every early morning at 6 o'clock, we would still naturally wake up. We couldn't sleep even if we wanted to."

  "I told you so back then, it was for your own good." Tang Chong said with a 'you know now' expression.

  Zhang He stuffed the fried egg from the plate into his mouth, with orange-yellow egg yolk overflowing from the corner of his mouth, and said: "Bai Yi, I told you not to mention this matter. Look at his smug face."

  "This is the truth." Ah Ken also stood on Tang Chong's side to help speak. "Now, I naturally wake up at 6 o'clock every morning - and because of sleeping early at night, my spirit is very good all day long. Ah, this feeling is really great. It feels like there is a little monster hidden in my body, with endless energy."

  Zhang He curled his lips and said: "Ah Ken, if he says that the egg drop soup is sucked in through the nose, would you also suck it in through your nose to eat?"

  "Hmph. I'm not talking to you anymore. I hate you." Akira said angrily.

  After having breakfast, Tang Zhong said he wanted to go back to school.

  Although school is still closed today, what if Principal Jiao Yuheng has time and suddenly pulls him to the office for a lesson?

  "Tang Zhong, wait." Bai Su said.

  She went upstairs quickly and came down soon after.

  Handed a box to Tang Chong and said: "You take this."

  "What?" Tang Zhong asked.

  "Cell phone." Bai Su said. "Xin Xin's cell phone. When she left, she asked me to leave the cell phone for you. At that time, I was a bit worried-----now, I think you need this cell phone. There are many people in the cell phone that you will meet later, and it's not bad to get familiar with them first. Originally good friends, suddenly meeting and not recognizing each other, always makes people feel strange. Maybe, some of the people in the cell phone you will also contact."

  Tang Zhong took over the box and put it in his own NIKE backpack behind him, turned around and walked out.

  "Shall I see you home?" asked Bai Su.

  "It's unnecessary," Tang Zhong said. "Let's not arouse other people's suspicion."

  Tang Chong walked to the entrance of the residential area and was surprised to find that the tall man he saw yesterday afternoon was still waiting at the entrance.

  Long hair, jeans, plaid shirt and a black windbreaker. The clothes on him were completely changed, proving that he had gone back last night and come again today.

  He didn't bother with those security guards anymore, but sat on the edge of a flowerbed at the entrance of the residential area, hugging his guitar and singing to himself in a state of intoxication:

  It's as if heaven is sending me a delightful gift

  See you at the turning point

  Only the sound of footsteps alternating

  The rain boots were stained with green mud.

  But it makes me miss you

  Your voice your smile

  The husky voice is full of emotion, making people involuntarily fall into the atmosphere expressed in the lyrics and unable to extricate themselves.

  This is a song by Butterfly Combo. Didn't expect him to perform it so well.

  Tang Zhong let out a soft sigh. He admired this young man's persistence and infatuation. But with things like this - he really couldn't help much.

  Just as he was about to walk past the boy, Takashi suddenly rushed over to him with his guitar.

  Tang Chong was startled and thought to himself, "Could it be that my identity has been exposed?"

  That's impossible. When he went out, Ah Ken even helped him with styling. Ah Ken said it was no problem, so there definitely won't be a problem.

  "Brother." Gaoshan blocked Tang Zhong's way, with a flattering expression, and asked: "Brother, may I ask if you live in Purple Garden?"

  Tang nodded seriously and then shook his head.

  "Are you going to stay or not?" Kao Shan asked urgently.

  "I'm going to my relatives' home," said Tang Chong.

  "Do you know where the Butterfly Combo lives? Do you know them?" asked Gaoshan with a face full of expectation.

  "What's Butterfly Combination?" Tang Chong thought for a moment and said: "I don't know. I also don't know where they live."

  He pointed to the houses inside the Zi Yuan residential area and said, "There are several hundred houses in here. It's not easy to find someone. Besides, people living in this kind of community don't know each other and have no communication with one another."

  "Yes." Takayama said with a disappointed face. "It's really hard to find someone like that."

  Tang Chong turned around and was about to leave. After thinking for a moment, he stopped again and asked: "What do you want with the Butterfly Combination? Are you their fan?"

  "No. I'm just a fan of one of the members of Butterfly Trio. A die-hard one." Kousaka said with a bitter smile. His facial features were sharp and deep, giving off a bit of a Takao Kasuga vibe. And that long hair, windbreaker, seemed to be intentionally emulating that uncle's style.

  He pulled out a crumpled pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Tang Chong, saying: "Want one?"

  Tang Chong picked it up and put it in his mouth.

  Gao Shan then took out a match and helped Tang Chong light his cigarette, then lit one for himself. He waved the match in the air and inserted it into the soil of the flowerbed.

  "Do you like her?" Tang Chong asked, taking a drag on his cigarette. He would smoke occasionally, but not often. Anything new and interesting, Tang Chong liked to try. His fellow inmates encouraged him to smoke, so he would join them. However, when he didn't feel like smoking, no one could persuade him otherwise. And there was certainly no such thing as a "nicotine addiction".

  "Yeah." Gao Shan nodded honestly, plopping himself down on the ground and leaning his body against the flowerbed. "I didn't like her just because she's a big star. I liked her when she was still just a student-----I'm from Nan Da, we were in the same school."

  "Why didn't you pursue it back then?" Tang Zhongming asked knowingly.

  "I was overtaken. I failed," said Kao Shan. "At that time, I thought to myself, the reason why I failed is because I'm not excellent enough... then, I thought of making myself even more excellent..."

  "What's the result?"

  "In the end, I understood a truth." Gaoshan smiled with an open mouth. "Women are like football, after you kick it off target, you should continue to shoot at the goal, rather than running down the field to bitterly practice your ball skills ----- by the time your ball skills improve, the World Cup is already over."

  "Isn't there going to be a next World Cup?" Tang Zhong said.

  "What woman would be willing to wait for you for four years?"
