Even though he didn't change majors, he still agreed to participate in the Go competition. The prize money for an official Go competition was quite high. Of course, this didn't stop him from participating in the Chinese Art Competition. He sent a few pieces of art to the competition and exhibition, and they were all bought at high prices.
Tao Wan had been earning a lot recently. After Du Yi was discharged from the hospital, they moved to a better place. It was a duplex apartment in a high-end district. Tao Wan rented the apartment himself. He even hired a helper to cook and clean every day. This way, even if he didn't go back at night, he didn't have to worry about Du Yi not having someone to look after him.
After class, Tao Wan brought Du Yi to the supermarket in the department store to buy snacks. Du Yi said that he needed new stationery, so the two of them took the elevator to the fifth floor.
Tao Wan let Du Yi choose by himself. Looking at the dazzling array of stationery, he also casually walked around.
In front of him, there was a person who was bending over to organize the goods. Tao Wan felt that this person's back looked familiar. He stopped in his tracks for a few seconds. When the person turned around, he realized why he looked so familiar. Wasn't this Hu Wenshan, whom he hadn't seen in a while?
Hu Wenshan was also stunned when he saw Tao Wan. This place wasn't close to the school. He didn't expect to meet Tao Wan here.
Tao Wan turned his head to look at the light box on the wall. On it was written Wenshan Stationery. "This is your store?"
"… That's right." Hu Wenshan lied to save face. Even though this store was called Wenshan Stationery, it was actually his relative's store. This relative had previously named the store as Wenshan Stationery to please him. Now, he could only work for that relative. He was also ridiculed because his teaching license was revoked. Not to mention public and private schools, even training classes weren't willing to hire him.
"Looks like you received a lot of money before. You can even open such a big store here." Tao Wan said.
"I didn't take any money from other students!" Hu Wenshan's face was very ugly. He couldn't control his anger when he thought of the person in front of him who made him like this.
"Did I say that you accepted money from other students? If you have such a low IQ, then you should be a good person. If you don't have the IQ, then why do you have to be a bad person? " Tao Wan looked at him with disdain. "In order to prevent me from getting the scholarship, and to prevent me from overshadowing Xu Shaoyan's limelight, you must have taken a lot of benefits, right?"
Hu Wenshan's face was ashen as he remained silent. He had indeed received some benefits, but not as much as others thought. He had only been following orders from above.
"Brother, I've chosen." Du Yi carried the shopping basket and finally found Tao Wan.
"Okay." Tao Wan turned to look at him. "You go to the counter to settle the bill. I'll be right there."
Du Yi carried the shopping basket and walked to the counter.
"You're just relying on your background. I'm no longer a teacher at Tōkyō University. You don't have to show off in front of me!" Hu Wenshan gritted his teeth.
"If I didn't have a background, or if my background wasn't as strong as yours, then the person who would be expelled from Tōkyō University would be me." Tao Yuan looked at him coldly and said, "You've shown your ugly faces of bullying the weak to the fullest. They say that evil people will be punished by evil people. I'm going to be the evil person who will punish you. I'll let you have a taste of being bullied. "
After Tao Wan finished speaking, he turned and walked to the counter.
Suddenly, a voice called out. "Hu Wenshan, what are you doing? Why aren't you getting the goods? "
Tao Wan looked back at Hu Wenshan and smiled mockingly. He then continued to walk forward. He knew that this was not Hu Wenshan's shop.
Hu Wenshan's originally pale face suddenly turned red. He was so angry that he was shaking, but he could only turn back and continue to organize the goods. The person who called him was the shop owner's brother-in-law. The two of them managed the shop together, but Hu Wenshan did nothing other than collecting money.
Tao Yuan pushed the trolley, and just as he was about to enter the apartment building, his phone rang. He took out his phone and looked at it. It was a message from the gallery. The money for the painting that was just bought had been transferred to his account. Seeing the long string of numbers, Tao Wan thought that it was time to speed up the task.
After Tao Wan sent Du Yi upstairs, he came back down not long after. He took out his phone and dialed Wei Shicheng's number. "Hello, godfather. Are you in the company?"
"Then I'll come to you now."
Tao Wan got in the car that Wei Shicheng arranged for him. He was ready to go to Wei Shicheng's company to meet him. Thinking of the next performance, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Wei Shicheng saw Tao Wan come in. He immediately turned off the computer and reached out to him. "Baby, come to godfather."
Tao Wan didn't walk in front of him and sit on his lap as usual.
"Godfather, I have something to tell you." Tao Wan stood in front of Wei Shicheng's desk.
"What do you want to say?" Wei Shicheng saw that his expression was different from usual, so he also became serious.
"I recently participated in a competition and sold a lot of paintings. I made a lot of money." Tao Wan said.
"Well, I watched your Go competition. I also bought your paintings. You are really good and powerful."
"Thank you, godfather, for giving me the greatest help during my most difficult time. I am really grateful to you." Tao Wan looked at him with sincere eyes, then took out the black card and put it on the desk. "This is all the money I used from you, including the cost of Du Yi's surgery. It's all here."
"What do you mean?" Wei Shicheng didn't look at the card. Instead, he stared at Tao Wan's face.
"I want to end our current relationship." Tao Wan said this with a lot of courage. Not everyone could still act normal under the awe of Wei Shicheng's aura.
"Do you still remember what I said to you on the first night?" Wei Shicheng looked calm, but under his calm surface, there were turbulent waves.
"… Yes."
"Repeat it."
"It can only end when you say it's over."
"Did I tell you that I want to end it?"
"No."
"You have always been a very smart child. You shouldn't need me to teach you what to do. But considering that you are still young, there will always be times when you are confused. Then I will give you a hint. Before I get angry, put the card away, and I will pretend that nothing happened. "
"In fact, I know very well in my heart that resisting will only make me suffer more, but the result will be the same."
"You really are a smart child. You haven't been blinded by your recent success." Wei Shicheng waited for him to continue.
"Do you like me?" Tao Wan asked. "When I say like, I don't mean like in bed or my body, but like in spirit."
Wei Shicheng was silent for a while, then said, "You are very good and worthy of being loved in all aspects."
"It's not this kind of love. This kind of love is not pure, nor is it equal." Tao Wan shook his head. "What I want is an equal relationship, not a transaction of flesh and money. It is also pure appreciation."
"Young people like to think nonsense. I can understand. But Qing Yu, the relationship you want, I may not be able to give it to you, but I won't let you go now. "
"I know I am delusional, but I am young. Young people should think of unrealistic things." Tao Wan's expression was stubborn, but large tears rolled out of his eyes. "If I can't realize my delusions, then I will resist you. Let me see how ruthless you can be to me."
Tao Yuan decisively turned around and left. It was as if he would never look back after he left.
Tao Wan's tears gave Wei Shicheng a big impact. The tears that fell from Tao Wan's face were like knives that fell into his heart, stabbing him very hard. He subconsciously wanted to chase after him and comfort him, but he sat motionless, because only by maintaining this posture could he control himself.
Tao Wan didn't take the car that Wei Shicheng arranged for him. He took a taxi back. Sitting in the taxi, his tears were still falling, and he couldn't control them. The taxi driver seemed to be used to it and didn't say anything. The two of them were silent on the way.
Tao Wan pressed his chest and took a deep breath. He felt like he was too deep into the act, and he actually felt fear and sadness. He was sure that Wei Shicheng would fall in love with him, so he acted like this. Why did he start to worry now?
Wei Shicheng turned the sofa chair and looked out through the glass wall. Memories kept appearing in his mind. He recalled his young and attractive body, his face that blushed easily, but always deliberately kept a straight face. He recalled his intoxicated expression under his body, his coquettish voice, and his pleading eyes in his arms.
Wei Shicheng had always felt that although there were many young and beautiful children, it was rare to find one that he liked so much. In order to thank Boss Chen for sending him to his side, he not only agreed to work with him, but also gave him a lot of benefits. He felt that everything was worth it for this child.
He was so well-behaved, so obedient, so seductive and delicious … and so outstanding. Wei Shicheng closed his eyes and thought that it was because he was outstanding enough that he wasn't willing to be kept as a sugar baby.
Wei Shicheng had always thought that his future partner, even if he couldn't satisfy him physically, must be compatible with him spiritually. That child's body satisfied him to the point that he couldn't leave. But spiritually, could he also become his soul mate?
Wei Shicheng thought for a long time. When the sun outside turned yellow, he opened his eyes and made up his mind.
Since he couldn't leave his body and didn't want to hurt him, he might as well do as he wished and try to have a normal relationship with him. He was so smart and clever. If he trained him well, he definitely wouldn't let him down. A soul mate that he trained himself was better than a soul mate that he didn't know when it would appear.
After Tao Wan returned home, he was still a little nervous. He didn't know what Wei Shicheng would do next. Would he talk to him again and continue the relationship of body and money, or would he soften and agree to be his lover? Judging from the openness of the peach blossom in the system, he could only be sure that he wouldn't hurt him.
A few days later, Wei Shicheng still didn't do anything. He didn't call him, and he didn't come to him personally. That man was so obsessed with his body that he wanted to do it with him every day. But now, he resisted the temptation and didn't come to him. Tao Wan couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
Because of his uneasiness, Tao Wan almost lost the game. Fortunately, he saw the excitement in his opponent's eyes the moment he looked up. After he recovered, he quickly turned the situation around and won.
"I deliberately let you go to this extent, but you still can't beat me. Where did you get the courage to talk tough to me?" Tao Wan looked at his opponent with a contemptuous expression. "Your ability to talk tough is much better than your Go skills. If I were your age and only had your level, I would be ashamed to death. I wouldn't even have the face to participate in the game, let alone humiliate my opponent before the game."
Tao Yuan's opponent was a middle-aged man with glasses. Before the start of the match, he deliberately tried to provoke Tao Yuan in the backstage resting area. He wanted Tao Yuan to lose the match because he couldn't calm down during the match.
This wasn't the first time he did this, so this person's reputation wasn't very good. Now that he was being humiliated by Tao Wan in front of everyone, he could only hold his anger and not refute.
Tao Wan was in a bad mood. Since this person dared to provoke him, he wouldn't have an easy time. The Go enthusiasts who were watching the live broadcast felt relieved when they saw that person's face.
There was a group of reporters outside waiting for an interview. Tao Wan didn't accept the interview. He directly left the game site with Li Zaiqi.
Li Zaiqi came specifically to accompany Tao Wan to participate in the game. He saw that Tao Wan didn't seem to be in a good mood, so he said, "Are you too tired from drawing recently? You need to take more rest. Strike a balance between work and rest. "
"Got it, teacher. I'll go back first," Tao Wan said and opened the door to get out of the car.
Wei Shicheng was originally holding his hand to take the elevator, but when he saw him pull him to the other side, he looked at him suspiciously. Then, he didn't ask why and just followed him.
"Boss Zhang!" Tao Wan shouted loudly.
The group of people who were talking together all looked over. The first person they saw was Wei Shicheng, and they were all shocked. They didn't know why he suddenly came over. Among them, there shouldn't be anyone who was qualified to interact with him.
