Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback novel Chapter 936

Chapter 936: Qiu Yiming’s Side Story

Qiu Yiming couldn’t understand how things had developed to this point.

The relationship between the Fang Family and the Qiu Family had always been good, so he knew the eldest son of the Fang Family, Fang Yuyang, from a young age. However, perhaps because they were both exceptionally talented and considered prodigies, they never quite liked each other despite knowing each other well. With similar ages, they were always in the same class from kindergarten onwards, always competitors, eager to outdo one another.

Days passed by in this constant competition until Fang Yuyang’s mother, Qu Qianhe, became pregnant again. Probably due to good parenting from the Fang Family, Fang Yuyang didn’t have any aversions to the child Qu Qianhe was carrying, instead, he looked forward to it. Although he disliked Fang Yuyang at that time, he couldn’t help but maliciously hope that Qu Qianhe would give birth to a son who would take away all the love and inheritance meant for Fang Yuyang, leaving him with nothing!

He thought, if it happened, Fang Yuyang would definitely be miserable. Because of this thought, he couldn’t help but look forward to the birth of that child. Of course, his anticipation was completely different from Fang Yuyang’s.

Back then, he often went to the Fang Family to play, and as he watched Qu Qianhe’s belly grow bigger day by day, his simple malicious thoughts unknowingly faded away, eventually transforming into pure affection and expectation. Being so attentive, he couldn’t stick to his previous thoughts.

Later, Qu Qianhe gave birth to a girl, and he was both disappointed and vaguely delighted. He thought at that time that with Qu Qianhe being beautiful and Fang Jintang being handsome, the girl would definitely be adorable, as beautiful as a doll.

Sure enough, when he saw the child, her skin was as white as milk, as delicate as petals, and although her face was chubby, her chin was pointed, looking very graceful. Especially her big, shiny black eyes, which were so lively that he couldn’t move his legs at the sight.

He had also seen children of relatives and neighbors, but none were as cute as this child, nor as beautiful. Those children cried at every turn, and he often heard crying in the residential compound, which annoyed him to death. But Fang Yuxin never cried; instead, she smiled at everyone she met. As long as he put his finger in front of her, she would hold onto it tightly, refusing to let go.

At that time, Qiu Yiming was still very young, completely unaware of the matters between men and women. Yet, whenever Fang Yuxin held his finger, he felt unusually satisfied. But Fang Yuyang was truly annoying, guarding Fang Yuxin 24 hours a day, and whenever he went to see Fang Yuxin, Fang Yuyang looked at him as if he were a "human trafficker" and stubbornly refused to let him near, as if something dirty on him might contaminate her.

Because of this, their already poor relationship completely broke down, and they wanted to fight whenever they met. Fang Yuxin inherited her parents’ genes of excellence, and from a young age she was already growing into a graceful lady, which made him like this little sister more and more. When she was old enough to attend kindergarten, Qiu Yiming suddenly understood Fang Yuyang’s worries — there were so many bad people outside, and Fang Yuxin was so cute and beautiful — what if she got taken away by those bad people?

Unfortunately, kindergarten let out late, and by the time he finished school, Fang Yuxin had already been dismissed. It wasn’t until Fang Yuxin started elementary school that he finally had the opportunity to face Fang Yuyang’s sour face every day and tirelessly escort Fang Yuxin home. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Later, he accidentally overheard his mother jokingly chatting with Qu Qianhe, suggesting they might as well set a betrothal between him and Fang Yuxin, since the two kids were close in age and got along well, so they wouldn’t have to worry about losing out to others in the future.

After several disputes, their relationship somehow fell to an icy point. At that time, Fang Mengyao was actively trying to get close to him; he knew that this woman was not simple, guessed that she might have some secrets, and was aware her relationship with Fang Yuxin was not good. He had no desire to see this woman, but the sudden arrival of the apocalypse filled him with inner anxiety; hence, in order to survive better, he let Fang Mengyao stay by his side. He planned to acquire whatever Fang Mengyao had, then eliminate her, to be with Fang Yuxin sincerely.

Alas, changes always came quicker than plans; after the apocalypse, his parents’ attitude towards the Fang Family took a drastic turn, eventually forcing Fang Yuxin to leave the Market Base! He was worried at the time but dared not leave due to helplessness, and this one missed chance became a perpetual miss; since then, he never saw Fang Yuxin again, except for one brief video call.

Qiu Yiming stood before the dressing mirror, sullenly observing the man within it. The man in the mirror possessed a face that would make men envious and women scream, a statue-like perfect, tall, and heroic physique, clad in luxuriously tailored clothing, exuding a domineering presence, as if the whole world was under his feet.

However, his lips were tightly pressed into a straight line, his gaze icy enough to freeze someone, and nothing mattered to him. Today was supposed to be the celebration party for the birth of his precious child, but he felt no joy whatsoever. Since Fang Yuxin had vanished entirely from this world, his heart was already dead.

No longer could anything touch him, nor could anyone occupy his heart. He yearned to disappear with Fang Yuxin but was doomed to rot in this decaying world, bit by bit. (To be continued.
