You Are My Unreachable Grandeur [BL]

Part 5

Jiang Sui found me privately.

She was straightforward: "Do you really want to drag him down?"

She sneered.

"Bao Chen, you're actually not foolish at all, very aware of the purpose of my visit."

"On New Year's Eve, I arranged for him to meet a good sister of mine, under the guise of matchmaking, but I didn't expect him to completely disregard my face, outright refusing."

"Jian Zhi has had a tough life, lost his parents in his youth, took on the family responsibility in his adolescence, it's been so many years, he's been carrying everything alone, I just wanted him to find someone of equal standing to share the burden, so he wouldn't be so tired."

"If you really care about him, you should voluntarily leave, stop causing him trouble."

I exhaled: "I understand."

I suggested holding an art exhibition abroad, and Bao Jian Zhi didn't think much about it.

It might have been in his plans too. He hugged my waist and reluctantly said, "That's good, you can go there to clear your mind, don't think about things here, I am here."

I held back my reluctance and smiled.

"Okay."

On the day of departure, he didn't come to see me off, as I requested.

He video called me on his way to the film festival.

"Call me when you arrive."

"Okay."

"Don't catch a cold, I've arranged everything there, just use your card for whatever you need, I have money."

I found him somewhat naggy.

But he stared at me seriously: "Ah Chen, don't go too far, I'm afraid I won't be able to find you."

At that moment, I suddenly thought he saw through all my tricks.

There was still some time before the flight took off, and I was watching the live broadcast of the film festival.

Bao Jian Zhi deserves to be looked up to; he should stand at the top.

Under the spotlight, he sat in the front row, his expression stern.

I stared blankly.

Until the airport announcement rang above my head, it was time to board.

Time to say goodbye, Bao Jian Zhi.

Bao Jian Zhi, who never believed in Buddhism, suddenly wore a string of Buddhist beads on his wrist, which he cherished greatly.

Everyone was guessing who gave them to him.

At the film festival, a female artist pretended to fall, hoping to invoke his pity.

Unexpectedly, she broke the beads.

The man said nothing, just bent down and quietly picked them up one by one.

The next day, information about this artist could not be found online, and nobody knew her whereabouts.

Over the years, I fell in love with painting.

Holding an art exhibition was one of my goals.

I only had a slight regret because this exhibition was held for Bao Jian Zhi.

He wasn't in the paintings, but all the paintings were about him.

Many visitors could see the clues.

I disguised myself and mingled among the crowd, listening to their thoughts and bold guesses.

Someone pointed at a painting of a snowy landscape.

The soft snowy ground made everything beautiful, with an added shadow.

It was New Year's Eve night when he suddenly appeared in the heavy snow.

More beautiful than the scenery was he, with eyes like stars.

"Is that the artist himself?"

I quietly replied: "No, that's his lover."

The exhibition went smoothly, and I donated all the profits.

I hope there are fewer people like me in this world, living too painfully.

After making all these preparations, I did the biggest thing in my life.

Although Bao Jian Zhi erased the matter about Zhou He, rumors and gossip are not so easily cleansed.

They breed and sprout in unseen places, maliciously speculating why it was deliberately suppressed, people tend to side with the perceived underdog, they feel that not mentioning it indicates there is a problem, avoiding it is the truth.

The bell ringer has to be the one to untie the bell.

Zhou He bet that I wouldn't come forward.

But what if I really did?

"I officially report Zhou Chang and Chen Meng, a couple who have been abusing their underage child..."

I recounted my past experiences in detail, of course, for Bao Jian Zhi, I just mentioned him briefly as a good person.

He should not be involved.

After recording the video, I started spreading it extensively, contacting many media outlets.

Bao Jian Zhi's call came faster than I expected.

I smiled: "Brother."

He couldn't get angry, his voice hoarse: "You're being naughty again."

"But this is the best way, isn't it?"

Bao Jian Zhi must have known, he knew this was the fastest way to resolve public opinion, but he couldn't bear it.

Never mind, I did it.

Zhou He's retribution came quickly, people confirmed his lies, and they found the hospital where he now lived, constantly harassed, disturbing his peace.

What goes around, comes around, public opinion now turned against him.

【This idiot deceived us, slandered his own brother, he really deserves to die!】

【Deservedly ill, karma!】

【I hope the hospital refuses to treat this ingrate, ungrateful wretch, spit!】

【What to do, I really feel sorry for the brother, why should he be treated this way.】

【His life has been too hard, isn't there anyone to save him?】

"Ah Chen, when you've settled everything, will you come back?" Bao Jian Zhi said on the phone.

"Brother, I'm not coming back." I said softly, cruelly.

He was silent for a while, then said firmly: "Then I'll come find you."

"Bao Jian Zhi." This was the first time I called him by his name, "Don't come, you stay well, and forget about me."
