Chapter 56 The Rival - The End! Goodbye!

Xie Changyu took out his phone and started hailing a taxi, no longer caring about the guy next to him.

He tapped the screen a few times, and soon the taxi information popped up; it would take another ten minutes to arrive.

The snow on the driveway has been gradually cleared, but looking up at the sky, Xie Changyu could vaguely see some tiny snowflakes.

It's going to snow heavily again later, which will make it even slower to get home.

After taking the taxi, he squatted down by the roadside, curling up into a ball to prevent himself from getting too cold.

Gu Qingjia was completely ignored.

Although he was looking down, Xie Changyu was still frantically tapping on his phone; he was currently blocking some people.

Wen Shu, Jiang Yue, Shen Zisui, Chen Du, and the guy next to him. As for Qi Yan, he had already blocked him long ago.

After adding all these people to his blacklist, Xie Changyu felt extremely relieved, as if he had vented his anger.

He blocked all the guys who were bothering him!

So what if these guys found out? They can't see him now anyway.

As Xie Changyu was thinking this, he suddenly heard a surprised voice.

"You blocked me again..."

Gu Qingjia had been thinking of sending cute emojis on WeChat to try and soften the other person's heart since the person he liked was ignoring him, but as he was sending them, he saw a big exclamation mark.

His emotions became unstable again.

When Xie Changyu was caught red-handed, his expression paused for a moment. He almost forgot that there was another person involved next to him. He was questioned less than three seconds after blocking someone, but he was not flustered at all.

Instead, she gave a light hum, "You'll get used to it. I've blocked all of you. Does that make you any happier?"

"..."

In fact, Gu Qingjia was used to being blocked, but being blocked as soon as they met still made him a little upset.

However, after hearing that others had also been blocked, he calmed down. He clenched his fist, his voice hoarse, still not believing it, "Really?"

Xie Changyu raised his voice, "Would I lie to you?"

He hadn't fooled this guy; on the contrary, this guy had fooled him countless times. He felt he was too kind; he had only blocked them.

Gu Qingjia pursed her lips slightly and denied it, saying, "No."

Time flew by, and the taxi stopped right away. Xie Changyu checked the license plate number to confirm that it was the car he had booked, then stood up, opened the door, and got in.

Because he was wearing a lot of clothes, he was a little slow in his movements. Just as he sat down and was about to turn around to close the car door, Gu Qingjia caught him.

The person slipped and slid up immediately.

He even took it upon himself to tell the driver, "Okay, driver, you can drive now."

The car started smoothly.

Xie Changyu didn't expect this guy to be so shameless, but since the person had already gotten on, it wasn't convenient for him to kick him off, especially since the car had already started moving. So he kicked Gu Qingjia directly, and only felt relieved after successfully hearing the other person's pained cry.

"Who told you to follow me?"

The car was well-heated, but the back seat wasn't very spacious. Xie Changyu, wrapped in several layers of clothing, sat awkwardly next to Gu Qingjia, who was dressed in relatively light clothing.

Gu Qingjia clutched her leg, her eyes looking pitiful. "It's too cold outside."

What kind of ridiculous reason is that?

Xie Changyu's eyes widened. "You don't mean to come to my house, do you?"

"Is it not allowed?"

"Of course not!"

Xie Changyu wouldn't soften his heart just because of the other person's pitiful tone. Besides, this guy brought the cold on himself. Wearing so little in such cold weather, he didn't know if he'd gone crazy from being locked up.

"I have nowhere to go..."

Xie Changyu rolled her eyes at these words, "What does this have to do with me?"

"Get off at the bus stop ahead."

He issued the final notice directly, not intending to care about the guy's life or death at all. It wasn't his fault, so he wasn't going to take responsibility.

One million.

Gu Qingjia immediately used his ultimate move. He shook his phone, speaking in a calm tone as if one million was just a small number. Of course, for someone of his status, one million was indeed nothing.

But Xie Changyu was different. When he heard the number, his eyes widened, and he gasped. Afraid he had misheard, he repeated the question, "One million?"

"Hmm." Gu Qingjia's lips curled up, her eyes filled with determination. "I'll give you one million to let me stay at your house for one night."

"hiss."

Although Xie Changyu really wanted to refuse with dignity, he agreed very quickly, saying in a fast voice, "Deal, I agree!"

Send it to me now!

That's a million! If it were ten thousand, he might actually consider it, but a million? No need to even think about it. To even consider it would be disrespectful to himself.

He smiled and handed over his phone, which displayed his bank card number. "Send it now."

Seeing the eagerness in his eyes, Gu Qingjia acted without hesitation, decisively opening her phone and transferring one million to his bank card.

After receiving the bank's deposit notification, Xie Changyu was ecstatic; his mind was practically flying off the page. But he maintained a calm facade and coughed lightly, saying, "It's agreed, you can only stay one night."

A million for a night's stay is an exorbitant price anywhere in the world, but for Gu Qingjia, it's just a drop in the ocean.

"Okay, just for one night." Gu Qingjia nodded obediently, secretly calculating his plans to extend his stay tomorrow. This amount of money was nothing to him.

After receiving a million, Xie Changyu suddenly found the guy in front of him quite pleasing to the eye. He stared at the long string of zeros after the number 1 on his phone, his heart pounding.

I'm so excited.

Of course, he didn't look at the guy next to him for another night. Anyway, it was just one night's stay, and he didn't need to provide any emotional support, so whether the guy lived or died was none of his business.

[Cannon Fodder Progress +1, Current Progress 96% Complete.]

We arrived at our destination quickly.

As soon as Xie Changyu got out of the car, the cold wind blew, and his excited mind instantly cooled down. He rubbed his eyes, and when he put them down, his eyes were a little red.

Gu Qingjia followed closely behind him, afraid of losing him or being left behind, since Gu Qingjia wasn't entirely sure if the other person would do such a thing.

Xie Changyu would never do such a thing, after all, he had been bribed with a million dollars. If he hadn't been bribed with that money, he really would have abandoned the person on the roadside halfway through the journey.

He was still kind, even for the sake of money.

As soon as she entered the door, Xie Changyu immediately explained to her mother, who was looking at her with a questioning gaze, who the person next to her was: "He's my roommate. He came to visit me today."

Aunt Xie nodded knowingly and greeted Gu Qingjia warmly, "You've come to visit Changyu? Have you eaten yet?"

Gu Qingjia was very polite at this time. He first said "Hello, Auntie" and then slowly answered her questions, "Yes" and "Have you eaten?"

To avoid another barrage of criticism from her mother, Xie Changyu simply hugged her arm and said coquettishly, "He's staying at my house for one night tonight, Mom, just leave him alone. Just treat him the same way you would when he comes over, don't worry about him."

Gu Qingjia chimed in from the side, "Yes, Auntie, don't worry about me, I'll just play with Changyu."

Seeing her mother's disapproving expression, fearing that Gu Qingjia's arrival would cause her to work hard to cook a big pot of food, Xie Changyu said directly, "Yes, Mom, you don't need to worry about us. We ate out, so you don't need to cook dinner."

He did eat a lot at the bar, not to mention he drank several cans of beverages, and now he's stuffed to the brim.

He didn't care about Gu Qingjia, who was standing next to him. After all, he had only said he was coming to stay for one night, and he hadn't said that food would be provided. Xie Changyu, who was still angry, couldn't stand seeing this guy being so comfortable.

After convincing his mother, Xie Changyu pulled the man upstairs. Once they were inside, he closed the door and tossed him a bag of unfinished snacks he had bought a few days ago, saying, "Eat this if you're hungry."

His family had already finished dinner by this time, and he naturally didn't want his mother to go through the trouble of cooking again for Gu Qingjia. Given his mother's enthusiastic personality, she would definitely go out to buy a lot of groceries and cook a huge meal, which would definitely be very tiring.

Gu Qingjia touched the bag in his hand, glanced at his face to make sure it was normal, then opened it, took out a small packet, and began to chew slowly.

Actually, he hadn't eaten for almost a day. After such a long flight, he went straight to a bar after landing, and he was wearing very thin clothes.

If Xie Changyu hadn't witnessed his extravagant spending of a million, he would have truly believed this guy was a refugee.

He watched the other person eating snacks without saying anything, and thought to himself that this guy was really resistant to the cold.

His house had heating, and he felt warm all over as soon as he entered, while Gu Qingjia's complexion gradually became rosy.

As if suddenly remembering something, Xie Changyu asked the person sitting opposite him, "You're leaving tomorrow, right?"

He was still unsure. After all, this guy had spent a million to stay at his house for no reason. Was he just going to sleep there?

He didn't believe it.

Gu Qingjia swallowed what was in his mouth and finally felt full. He lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Mmm."

Okay.

Since that's what people said, he reluctantly believed it for the sake of the one million, since he wasn't the one who would lose out.

After Xie Changyu warmed up, he stamped his foot and said, "Don't tell anyone else you're here with me, okay?"

Gu Qingjia shook her head. "No."

In fact, even if he didn't say anything, the two brothers would have known his arrival route, since they had watched him board the plane.

Thinking of those two people, Gu Qingjia's eyes darkened.

"Really not?" Xie Changyu seemed a little skeptical.

He remembered that this guy had a good relationship with Wen Shu, and the two of them had always stood together against Jiang Yue, which could be described as them being in cahoots.

Gu Qingjia continued to shake her head, her eyes sincere, "I didn't say that."

Xie Changyu snorted, "That's good, otherwise I would have kicked you out immediately if I had known!"

A moment later, he picked up his clothes and prepared to go into the bathroom to take a shower. After all, he had just come back from the bar, and the smell of alcohol on him was unknowingly wafting up and made him wonder if his mother had smelled it.

Before entering the bathroom, Xie Changyu was carrying his clothes and about to leave the room when he heard Gu Qingjia's phone ringing incessantly. He didn't want to answer it, but the ringtone sounded familiar.

He stood at the doorway, looking at Gu Qingjia.

Gu Qingjia ignored the phone and looked up at him with a smile in her eyes, "What's wrong?"

Xie Changyu raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you going to answer?"

Gu Qingjia hung up the call without looking at her phone screen, her tone casual, "It's a nuisance call, just hang up."

Seeing him hang up the phone without hesitation, Xie Changyu thought he was overthinking things. He pouted in disappointment, "Fine, I'm going to take a shower."

The room's owner left, and the intruder began to examine the place inch by inch, moving from the group photos and family pictures on the desk all the way to the bed. If eyes could mark things, the entire room would be filled with a pungent smell.

Gu Qingjia closed her eyes and breathed heavily, the veins on her neck bulging, her eyes red as she stared at the spot.

odor.

The entire room.

It's all his scent.

Gu Qingjia was enjoying the enchanting environment when his cell phone rang again, each ring seemingly conveying the other person's anxiety and tension.

He stared at the caller on the screen with an almost indifferent gaze, a hint of sarcasm on his handsome face.

[Cannon Fodder Progress +1, current progress 100%. Congratulations, host, this mission has been successfully completed. You will begin to leave this world in ten minutes. Please be prepared.]

Xie Changyu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head while in the bathroom. In an instant, all his memories came flooding back, and he remembered that he was a mission taker.

After a long pause, a soft murmur came from the quiet bathroom, "It's finished so quickly, what's going on?"

Having regained his memories, Xie Changyu frowned as he looked at the completion status of his mission interface. His first thought was, "Didn't he actually mess up the mission?"

The handsome young man looked troubled. What was going on? How did he end up bringing back the main character, and even sleeping with him? This was all a mess.

But the system connected to him continued to communicate in a mechanical voice: "This mission is complete. Host, prepare to leave this world in nine minutes."

Xie Changyu rubbed his hair in frustration. "I know, I know."

The mechanical sound disappeared, and Xie Changyu knew there was no response. After all, he was just a novice mission taker, and the system he was bound to was not as user-friendly as the systems of those veterans. Novices were prohibited from carrying their memories when doing missions in the first few worlds and could only rely on luck to complete missions.

When Xie Changyu first regained his memories, he was worried that he had misheard. After all, according to the plot, the main characters, the top and the bottom, did not have any budding feelings for each other, nor did they start a love-hate relationship. He could not see the love, but he could see the hate.

But as long as the task is completed, that's fine.

Xie Changyu's face turned cold. Now that the mission was complete, the others were no longer his concern, and the subsequent developments were also none of his business.

"How much longer?"

A mechanical voice announced, "You will be leaving this world in one minute. Please prepare yourself."

—— 10

—— 9

...

—— 2

—— 1

[Congratulations, host, on completing your initial mission. Please prepare yourself for the next world.]

Sitting on the bed, Gu Qingjia felt a sudden pang of fear after hanging up the call.
