My crush wants to be my sugar daddy.

Chapter 169 Jiang Haochen, what did you do to Chi Yuan?

Chi Yuan?

Is it really Chi Yuan?

Although it happened a long time ago, Jiang Haochen still has a vivid memory of that night.

His breakthrough film, "Shadows of Mountains and Rivers," was filmed in G province. He remembers that it was during the filming of the second part when a male actor had to return to B city for filming. He left the film set overnight and rushed to the airport.

Not long after the car started moving, they encountered a person who had rolled down a hillside and landed about ten meters in front of the car. If the driver hadn't been alert and braked, they would have almost hit the person.

Once everyone had gotten up, Jiang Haochen could finally see the person's face clearly. His features were still youthful and immature; he was only a teenager. The child had fallen quite hard. After getting up and glancing at the car, he obediently moved aside.

That stretch of mountain road was in the middle of nowhere, and since this was just a child, Jiang Haochen naturally couldn't ignore him, so he had his assistant go down and call the child into the car.

Jiang Haochen couldn't remember exactly what they talked about because it had been so long. He only remembered that the child had secretly run away from home, saying that his father wouldn't let him go to school and that he was going to the provincial capital to find his mother.

He happened to be going to the provincial capital airport and offered to give the child a ride, but Xiao Cui disagreed, saying he was afraid the child's parents would come looking for him and try to extort money from him. The child was so scared of being sent back that he almost jumped out of the car.

He still insisted on sending the child to the provincial capital because he discovered that the child had lost one shoe while running, and that bare foot was covered in cuts and scratches from stones. How could he possibly send the child back to a place he had run so desperately, even with his feet covered in blood, just to escape?

After the child realized he wouldn't be taking him home, he relaxed, and they chatted for a while. He knew the child was a good student and had been admitted to a high school with a very unique name, apparently the name of a local tourist attraction.

Later, the child got hungry, so I fed him... a hamburger?

Jiang Haochen was suddenly stunned.

Hamburger?

Chi Yuan likes to eat hamburgers.

He first learned that Chi Yuan liked hamburgers when Chi Yuan was filming "The Emperor's Power". He asked Xiao Zhao what Chi Yuan liked to eat, and Xiao Zhao said that Chi Yuan's favorite food was hamburgers.

Later, he bought hamburgers to visit the set, and Chi Won was indeed very happy to see them. He even jokingly asked him if he hadn't eaten them as a child and that's why he loved them so much now. He also told him about how he used to enjoy eating hamburgers while filming.

What was Chi Yuan's reaction at the time?

"Brother Chen, Xiao Yuan wants a hamburger too."

Jiang Haochen's eyelashes trembled. At the time, he only thought that Chi Yuan was being affectionate with him, but what if Chi Yuan remembered what happened back then...?

Chi Yuan definitely remembers!

Because Chi Yuan once said that he was his fan, and a long-time fan for many years.

But if Chi Yuan remembers, then that time they spent at the hotel...

Jiang Haochen's mind went blank again. If Chi Yuan remembered him, then why didn't Chi Yuan resist and let him do whatever he wanted at the hotel that night? Was it because she was drugged, or because she recognized him?

This realization sent chills down Jiang Haochen's spine.

Although there were many coincidences involved in what happened that night, he always felt that he and Chi Yuan had each gotten what they wanted. Chi Yuan had been drugged and needed help, and he just happened to be interested in him. He wasn't a good person, but he wasn't exactly despicable either.

But if Chi Yuan wasn't drugged, but simply because he was himself, then what did that night mean?

To repay a debt of gratitude.

No, even if it's repaying a debt of gratitude, it shouldn't be done this way. Chi Yuan must have genuinely been unable to withstand the effects of the drug at the time. The fact that he didn't contact me afterward or make a fuss about it is probably because I helped him before. Besides, Chi Yuan already has someone he likes.

The person you like?

Jiang Haochen looked at the documents in his hand, and then thought about the hamburgers that Chi Yuan liked. An idea popped into his mind uncontrollably.

Could it be that Chi Yuan likes himself?

impossible!

Chi Yuan's crush is clearly straight, but how is he straight?

Jiang Haochen frantically tried to suppress this outrageous idea, but his fierce heartbeat just wouldn't calm down.

What information is there about the person Chi Yuan likes besides that he's straight? After thinking for a long time, all I could think of was that Chi Yuan really, really liked that person.

I have no idea what his name is, how tall he is, how heavy he is, or what he does.

When he didn't like Chi Yuan, it didn't matter to him who Chi Yuan liked. But after realizing he liked Chi Yuan, he became too jealous to even ask. At this moment, Jiang Haochen was filled with regret. Why hadn't he asked more questions before?

Wait a minute, he remembered that Chi Yuan had said that he had known the person he liked for a long time.

How old was he again? He remembered that he was very young. He used to laugh at Chi Yuan for being in a crush but still worrying about early romance.

How old was she again?

She must be under sixteen.

Before he turned sixteen, Chi Yuan lived in the mountains and never went anywhere except to go to school. The people he knew were either from the village or the school.

First, we can rule out villages. The data shows that the loess valley is mostly inhabited by elderly people and children left behind, so that means it must be a school.

Teacher, classmate?

If you liked someone before you were sixteen and were sure they were straight, the chances of it being a classmate are slim, so it's probably a teacher?

After analyzing the situation, Jiang Haochen made another call to his assistant, Chen, who had just left: "Are there any particularly handsome male teachers at Chi Yuan's school?"

Even Assistant Chen was taken aback by this question.

How could he answer that question? How would he know if someone is handsome or not?

Jiang Haochen was extremely anxious and urged, "Say something!"

Assistant Chen snapped out of his daze: "President Jiang, I need some time to verify this."

Jiang Haochen: "Hurry up."

Assistant Chen hung up the phone and began to handle the matter.

A capable assistant never says no to their boss's requests. Assistant Chen only thought for two minutes before finding a solution.

The teacher that President Jiang is looking for must be related to Mr. Chi, so he only needs to find a teacher who had a close relationship with Mr. Chi during his school years. As for whether he's handsome or not, that's for the boss to judge.

So Assistant Chen called the school principal who had received him at the time and asked for a group photo of Chi Yuan's class when he graduated, and then sent the photo to his boss.

Jiang Haochen glanced at the photo and saw that all the teachers in it were middle-aged, old enough to be Chi Yuan's father, which did not meet the criteria for a secret crush.

If not a teacher, could it be a classmate?

Jiang Haochen looked at each of the classmates in the photo again, especially the male classmates standing next to Chi Yuan, glancing at them again and again.

Tsk, what's so likable about a little kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet?

If he's not a teacher, not a classmate, and not a villager, then who else could Chi Yuan know?

Jiang Haochen read through Chi Yuan's information again from the beginning.

The above is mostly the village chief's oral account, describing how Chi Yuan's parents met through a blind date, how the couple argued, and how Chi Yuan's father eventually drove his wife away.

Chi Yuan's father had a ruined reputation, and coupled with poverty and the burden of having an older child, he could no longer find a wife and remained a bachelor. He worked away from home year-round but never sent a penny back, and would only return two or three times in ten years.

Chi Yuan was raised by his grandmother, but his grandmother had a bad temper. Although she raised Chi Yuan, she would scold him when she was in a bad mood. Chi Yuan was often hungry as a child, so he was thin and small, but he was very hardworking and intelligent.

When Chi Yuan graduated from junior high school, his father wouldn't let him continue his studies, so Chi Yuan ran away that very night and was never heard from again. However, at the end of the year, he sent 2000 yuan to his grandmother.

The year after Chi Yuan left his hometown, his father got drunk and fell down a hillside while walking on a mountain path, sustaining serious injuries. By the time he was found, it was too late to save him. Chi Yuan's grandmother was heartbroken upon learning this, and her health deteriorated afterward.

Chi Yuan returned to his hometown when he turned eighteen, bringing 20,000 yuan with him for his grandmother. However, his grandmother scolded and beat him because he hadn't returned home when his father left. Chi Yuan said nothing, bought paper money and incense to pay respects to his father, and then left again after a short while.

After that, he would come back once or twice a year to visit his grandmother, and each time he would give her a sum of money. Until Chi Yuan was twenty years old, his grandmother passed away, and Chi Yuan never went back again.

This short passage encapsulates Chi Yuan's twenty years of life.

For most people, their twenties are just the beginning of their lives, but for Chi Yuan, his twenties are just a time when he is all alone.

Jiang Haochen flipped through the photos in the documents. Besides the two photos of Chi Yuan, there were also some photos of the village.

Jiang Haochen stared at the stone tablet at the entrance of the village that read "Huangtu'ao" and felt that it looked strangely familiar.

Suddenly, he remembered.

That was his first time filming in the mountains, and the first time he had ever seen a village like that. He didn't remember the village's name, only that it was very poor, lacking even bricks, and the villagers could only build houses from mud blocks. Originally, the crew wanted to stay in the village, but it was so dilapidated that they ultimately decided to pitch tents and stay in the mountains.

Could it be this village? It can't be such a coincidence.

However, the time he found Chi Yuan coincided with the filming of the second part of "Shadows of Mountains and Rivers". Striving for authenticity, they returned to the original location with the original cast to film.

The fact that he was able to find Chi Yuan there proves that Huangtu'ao, where Chi Yuan was, was not far from their film crew.

Jiang Haochen's gaze suddenly fixed on the photo of Xu Mo. He stared at the thin, small Chi Yuan in the photo, who was less than 1.5 meters tall, and an image of a dark-skinned boy selling snacks and cola on the film set flashed through his mind. That dark-skinned boy sold expensive things and liked to secretly watch him.

How old was Chi Yuan at that time?

Twelve, thirteen?

Actually, I've known him for a long time, since I was thirteen.

The words that Jiang Haochen couldn't remember at all suddenly surfaced in his mind with unparalleled clarity. At the same time, the words of a former crew member also came to mind.

[Don't let his eight or nine-year-old appearance fool you; he's actually in middle school. He's selling things on set to earn money for his meals next semester.]

It was because of this sentence that he chose to sponsor the school cafeteria in that mountainous area, and Chi Yuan happened to be studying at the school he sponsored.

Jiang Haochen suddenly felt a little scared. If that child was Chi Yuan, if thirteen-year-old Chi Yuan already knew him, then the person he liked... was him?

No, the person Chi Yuan likes is a straight man.

No, Chi Yuan never said that the person he liked was straight; he said that person wouldn't like him back.

If that person were myself, how could I possibly not like him?

[Chi Yuan, don't like me.]

I really like your body, you know?

I like obedient lovers.

Tell me what you want, and tell me if you want to leave.

……

Sending a New Year's greeting text message to someone I like.

So when I said I liked you, you weren't angry?

Mr. Jiang, I like you.

……

"Grass!!!"

The memories of his past suddenly began to attack Jiang Haochen, making him so miserable that he wished he could stab himself twice.

He suddenly began to feel afraid; he was afraid that his guess was true, and he was also afraid that his guess was not true.

He was afraid that the person Chi Yuan liked was actually him, and he was also afraid that the person Chi Yuan liked wasn't him.

If Chi Yuan has always liked him, then what has he been doing these past two years? What has he been doing?

With a last glimmer of hope, Jiang Haochen contacted the director of "Shadows of Mountains and Rivers," whom he hadn't heard from in a long time, and obtained behind-the-scenes footage from the filming.

When the black-faced child in the video overlapped with Chi Yuan in the photo, Jiang Haochen felt like he wanted to be slowly sliced ​​to pieces.

Jiang Haochen, what did you do?

How have you treated such a sincere heart?
