Every Day the Protagonist Wants to Capture Me [ BL ]

Chapter 80 - He's Mine

This chapter is by Lianyin of BC Novels.

Save?

Why did he use that word?

Chu Yu was stupefied and turned to look at Xie Xi’s expression. The latter’s face was still cold, and there was no sadness or joy in his eyes. “You’ll help if I save them?”

Wei Yuanshan said, “Even your shizun’s strength cannot compare to your aptitude. You’re already a nascent soul cultivator at such a young age. You are likely the only one who will be able to save them.”

When he saw that Xie Xi was still unmoved, he sighed. “Xie Xi, aren’t you even a little bit worried about your parents’ current situation?”

Xie Xi asked apathetically. “Why should I worry?”

Wei Yuanshan paused, then smiled bitterly. “I forgot that you hate them… Speaking of which, it was indeed their fault. If they had not harbored the thought of locating the legendary immortal realm, they wouldn’t have ended up in that situation.”

Xie Xi, however, did not seem to want to listen to anymore. He took Chu Yu’s hand, stood up and said, “Since it’s a deal, we’ll leave now.”

Xie Xi’s hand was trembling.

Was he afraid?

Chu Yu pursed his lips and thought for a moment before making his decision. “Xie Xi.”

Xie Xi lowered his head to look at Chu Yu. Their eyes met. Chu Yu stared into his eyes and saw the emotions in those eyes—fear, worry, helplessness…

It was probably because he had been hating his parents for so many years, believing that his parents had abandoned him. But now, he found out that this was likely not the case; that they had been in trouble for many years instead. Xie Xi began to waver.

Although he was not as sensitive and fragile as Chu Sheng, he was also vulnerable to trauma because of his parents’ and Chu Yu’s repeated mishaps. His inner demons should thus be related to his parents.

“Shixiong?” Xie Xi asked in a voice tinged with fear of the unknown future.

Chu Yu backhandedly grabbed Xie Xi’s hand and smiled as he pulled him back down before Wei Yuanshan. “Please tell us about it.”
Wei Yuanshan nodded and smiled as if he had guessed that Chu Yu would pull Xie Xi back and Xie Xi would obey him. But instead of speaking directly about the incident, he talked about his relationship with Xie Xi’s parents.

“Xie Xi, do you still remember your father’s name?”

Xie Xi thought for a moment and then shook his head. Back then, he had only been nine years old. Although he had awareness of himself and others by then, no one would usually call their parents by their names. Besides, his parents had always been independent and seldom interacted with others; instead, they had traveled the world.

Wei Yuanshan stared at his face and said frankly. “I have known your mother ever since I was a child. I have always liked her very much. I was going to ask for her hand in marriage when I broke through to the Core Formation stage. I didn’t expect that your father would arrive to steal her away. I, therefore, ended up fighting with your father several times, and as a result, both of us were injured. Your mother was angry with me because of this, so she gave me the cold shoulder.” He smiled and continued, “Your father’s name is Xie Jun, and your mother’s name is Luo He.”

Xie Jun!

Chu Yu was stunned.

In the original novel… there had been numerous mentions of this person. But he was only ever mentioned in passing when the plot called for it. It was said that this person was both good and evil, and his cultivation was unparalleled. He was elusive and bold, often only ever doing as he pleased.
