Chapter 122 Extra 1: Fruit Cake Wei Yuanye...

The cake that Wei Yuanye bought was the most delicious cake Zhang Deng had ever eaten in his life.

It looked so ordinary that Zhang Deng thought Wei Yuanye had just bought it from a random cake shop on the roadside. But when he put it in his mouth, he was amazed by the dense cream, fresh and juicy fruit, and the refreshing raspberry chocolate filling. It made Zhang Deng's scalp tingle after taking a bite.

At first he thought he had been hungry for too long, and ended up eating half of it without realizing it. He still couldn't stop.

Zhang Deng asked, "Where did you buy this?"

"The cake at the restaurant you went to tonight," Wei Yuanye said, "was said to be delicious."

Zhang Deng: "Are you following me? Is it you that I've been seeing these past few days?"

"No," Wei Yuanye explained. "No, sometimes I do, but not tonight."

Wei Yuanye did have something to do tonight. He had ordered the cake a week in advance and was just going to pick it up tonight.

Zhang Deng looked at him for a long time and finally accepted this explanation.

"Is this cake expensive?" Zhang Deng asked while eating.

Wei Yuanye said, “I forgot.”

Zhang Deng looked at him curiously. His eyes were still swollen and he looked sloppy, which made him look very cute. Wei Yuanye couldn't help but touch his face, but felt that he had crossed the line. He clenched his hands in the air awkwardly. He took out his mobile phone, which was the one Zhang Deng and he bought together. He found the payment record and Zhang Deng saw the number "899" on it.

Zhang Deng choked and his face turned red from coughing.

What fruit cake is 899? Zhang Deng said: "So, I spent 3,000 yuan today?"

Zhang Deng just paid the bill with a brave face and spent more than two thousand yuan. Wei Yuanye bought a cake and spent another 900 yuan. What's wrong with these men? Why are they so wasteful?

Zhang Deng asked, "How much money do you have left?"

Wei Yuanye still didn't know, so he said, "Let's exchange those last time."

He opened the account balance under Zhang Deng's gaze. Now that the World Tree was gone, Wei Yuanye's previous points naturally could not be exchanged. All that was left was the money Wei Yuanye had exchanged when he came here to complete the mission last time. The only thing he was thankful for was that Wei Yuanye was willing to spend a lot of money on Zhang Deng at that time. He directly exchanged more than 500,000 yuan. After buying the car, he had less than 100,000 yuan left, and currently there were more than 80,000 yuan left in the account.

It’s not bad, Zhang Deng said: “This money can’t be wasted anymore.”

"You need to be familiar with Earth's prices," Zhang Deng said. "If something like this happens again, buying a cake for 900 yuan, we'll really face a family crisis soon."

Wei Yuanye nodded and accepted the advice humbly.

Zhang Deng: "Your most urgent task is..."

Wei Yuanye thought he would say he was going to make money, but Zhang Deng said, "Have a good rest."

"You need to take a long rest," Zhang Deng said. "You're too tired. Don't worry about work. My salary is more than enough to cover the expenses of two people and a cat. As long as Xiao Mi doesn't get seriously ill, we'll be fine."

He acted like the head of the family, planning his future as the head of the household. He said, "We could even get a puppy. I think that's fine."

Wei Yuanye had no objection. He said, "If you like."

Zhang Deng looked at the cake and felt very sad. It would be a pity not to eat it. He handed it to Wei Yuanye and said, "Eat it while it's fresh, otherwise it will go bad."

Wei Yuanye wasn't a big fan of desserts, but since he was still in the probationary period, he didn't dare to say anything. He just ate it. The greasy sweetness filled his tongue, and Wei Yuanye, against his conscience, said to himself, "It's delicious."

Zhang Deng really likes this flavor. He attributes it to the power of capital. Money has made him lose his original sense of taste.

Feeling sad and angry, Zhang Deng ate up most of the cake by himself. This was arguably the biggest appetite he had had in the past two years. He was so hungry that he felt nauseous. Wei Yuanye wanted to persuade him not to eat anymore, but seeing that he was eating so enthusiastically, he couldn't open his mouth.

Zhang Deng heard people say that humans are low-level creatures. Just like crabs will stuff ginger into their mouths to relieve stress before they die, humans will also stuff food into their mouths when they feel pain.

It was really painful to light the lights. At least on this night, his pain outweighed his happiness.

He was clearly aware that he had no backbone and no courage, and was a fool who was drugged by so-called love. He had no self-respect, and it was he who made his life like this, and he still let it go.

Zhang Deng felt very sad. He was sad for his love. He knew that he shouldn't love Wei Yuanye so much. At least as a complete person, he would not love so pitifully.

But he couldn't control himself from making this choice, he was too scared.

He was afraid of waiting in vain, afraid that he would carefully check every person who passed by, and afraid that he would wait silently in his heart during every lonely moment in his life.

In fact, no one will come.

Zhang Deng knew in his heart that no one would come. This room of his was an eternal target in this world. He stored his pain, loneliness, sadness and pressure here. He was waiting for someone to open the door, share his pain and heal his wounds with him.

But no one will come.

A few years ago, Wei Yuanye knocked on this door, but it brought him even greater pain.

Today he brought gifts into the house again. Zhang Deng knew that Wei Yuanye still would not bring happiness.

Because pain cannot be shared, balanced, or erased. No matter who comes, no one can feel his pain or give him any relief. But Zhang Deng still needs him, because if he doesn't come, Zhang Deng will deny his pain.

If you turn on the lights, you will think that your pain does not exist.

Wei Yuanye made Zhang Deng's pain real pain. He made Zhang Deng no longer stand idly by and try his best to solve his problems. Zhang Deng no longer expected love to solve all problems. He regarded love as moonlight that does not generate heat, cold, but it illuminates a dark place.

Zhang Deng really didn't want to wait any longer. He had had enough of that kind of nebulous life. He could only admit that he couldn't live without Wei Yuanye.

Zhang Deng was disgusted by his own incompetence. He lay on the toilet and vomited for half the night. As tears streamed down his face, he knew that tonight would be painful, and after tonight, he would be happy.

He used to not understand why so many people chose a numb life, but now he knows that numbness is a gesture of embracing happiness with arms open.

Zhang Deng knew that since he decided to be true to his feelings, his future was destined to be happy.
