Chapter 44

Lu Yijin was sitting on the sofa watching a show on his tablet. He looked outside from time to time. Ye Chenchen had been out for so long, why hadn't he come back yet?

Gu Zheye came over with a cup of coffee, "Would you like some coffee?"

"Thank you." Lu Yijin sat aside a little stiffly.

Gu Zheye, who was sitting nearby, was watching a TV series while secretly glancing at Lu Yijin while drinking coffee. The little guy's eyes were so round. Apart from anything else, the guests on this variety show were all of high quality. Gu Zheye was like a bee caught in a bush of flowers, not knowing which one to pick.

Gu Zheye inadvertently put his hand on the back of the sofa, closing the distance between him and Lu Yijin, slightly raised his superior jawline, and showed off his feathers like a peacock spreading its tail.

Unfortunately, Lu Yijin's mind was full of why Ye Lingchen hadn't come back yet. He wanted to prepare a small cake for him, but Ye Lingchen had a toothache now, and he couldn't eat it even if he made it.

Gu Zheye was posing for a long time, but no one even looked at him. Gu Zheye took his hand back awkwardly. The fans of Xiaolu who saw this scene were almost laughing like crazy. Gu Zheye's whole act was just like winking at a blind person.

Gu Zheye coughed softly. Lu Yijin was still in a daze. Gu Zheye just didn't believe it. He was a sea king, and there was someone he couldn't seduce!

Gu Zheye coughed heavily a few times, and Lu Yijin, who was lost in thought, looked over at him again. "Do you have a cold? Do you want some Little Sunflower Cold Medicine?"

Gu Zheye’s face turned black. Damn Xiao Kuihua.

[Lu Xiaojin is almost laughing to death, hahaha~]

[Give Ye Wang some children's cold granules, hahaha~]

[Why is our Lu Xiaojin acting like a straight man?]

Gu Zheye squeezed in a little bit, and when Lu Yijin wasn't paying attention, he squeezed next to him. The two of them looked very close to each other. "You don't mind me sitting so close, do you? I'm sorry that I can't see clearly because I'm a little nearsighted."

Lu Yijin considerately put the tablet against Gu Zheye's face and said, "Here you go."

Gu Zheye screamed and jumped up from the sofa in fright. Lu Yijin looked at him in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Gu Zheye was frightened. Oh my god, when Lu Yijin pushed the tablet in front of him just now, an enlarged ghost face appeared directly in front of him, scaring him so much that his heart stopped beating. Lu Yijin looked so obedient, but he didn't expect that watching a video would be so wild!

Which good person can remain calm while watching a horror movie? He thought Lu Yijin was watching some youth idol drama!

Gu Zheye had just jumped away when the sound of a car came from outside. Lu Yijin dropped his tablet and trotted to the door. "Ye Chenchen, how are your teeth?"

"I'm getting a sore throat. The doctor said I have a wisdom tooth and it needs to be extracted." Ye Lingchen covered his cheek and walked into the house. Lu Yijin followed behind him like a little tail.

Jing Jianchen parked the car and walked in with the medicine, "Don't make cakes for him in the near future."

"Oh." Lu Yijin sulked when she thought about how half the joy she felt from feeding Ye Chenchen was gone.

He circled around Ye Lingchen, serving tea and pouring water, which made Gu Zheye's face turn pale. It seemed that Lu Yijin was the only one who was in his way.

Lu Yijin was so distressed that he handed Ye Lingchen a cup of warm water to drink medicine. His eldest son was really in trouble. He had just been discharged from the hospital a few days ago and now he had to go to the hospital again. He had worked so hard to keep him healthy, and now he would lose several pounds just to have a tooth pulled.

Jing Jianchen prepared the anti-inflammatory medicine for Ye Lingchen according to the doctor's instructions and put it in his hand, "Take it. If you take it, your tooth will be damaged."

Ye Lingchen looked at these small pills and the thing that seemed to be called capsules with some curiosity. The medicine here should not be as bitter as the medicine he drank before. Ye Lingchen looked at the medicine in his hand with a fearless attitude. He threw them all into his mouth and chewed them twice. His face was distorted by the bitterness!

This wasn't much better than the medicine he'd been drinking! Ye Lingchen felt deeply deceived. As expected, no matter which dynasty, this medicine was still bitter!

Lu Yijin was so shocked by Ye Lingchen's action that she forgot to move. It was Jing Jianchen who quickly raised the water cup to Ye Lingchen's mouth and said, "Drink water!"

Ye Lingchen quickly lowered his head and drank two sips of water before he could get rid of the residue in his mouth. The bitterness forced out tears, and the blush at the corners of his eyes became even redder.

[This is the first time I’ve seen someone drink medicine like this! ! ! ]

[Warrior, big brother, please accept my humble respect!]

【Isn’t Ye Chenchen suffering?!】

【Please accept my knees! 】

Lu Yijin was surprised and stared at Ye Lingchen, "Why are you taking medicine like this?"

"What else?" Ye Lingchen was about to cry. He was most afraid of taking medicine. He thought that medicine in this era was not bitter!

Jing Jianchen chuckled and said, "Next time, don't chew the medicine. Just swallow it with water."

"Ah?" Ye Lingchen then realized that he had taken the medicine in the wrong way!

When everyone was eating in the evening, Ye Lingchen could only stir the lean meat porridge in the bowl. He sniffed and smelled the fragrance on the table. Dinner was made by Jing Jianchen, and the steamed pork with rice flour on it looked delicious.

Seeing that he was clinging to him so hard, Jing Jianchen gave him a piece of meat with chopsticks and said, "Eat it, it's okay." He should eat it quickly while he can, because in a few days he will have to eat porridge every day when he goes to have a tooth pulled.

Ye Lingchen's toothache was so severe that he couldn't even open his mouth wide. He took a small sip and stopped eating. He had no taste at all.

Meng Zhanyang on the side mercilessly laughed, "Hahaha, Ye Lingchen, if you don't eat it, then I will."

Ye Lingchen stepped on Meng Zhanyang's foot and said, "I'll give you a discount if you laugh!"

Ye Lingchen picked up the steamed pork with rice flour and gave it to Jing Jianchen and Lu Yijin, "Eat it quickly, he'll finish it soon."

While the guests were all there, the production team announced that guests could date more than just their teammate. The guests were shocked by the news. What did this mean? Could it be a split relationship or a split relationship?

Lu Yijin's first reaction was to look at Ye Lingchen. Even Gu Zheye and Meng Zhanyang looked at Ye Lingchen. Ye Lingchen was snapping his fingers out of boredom. His tooth ached so much that he wanted to go back to sleep.

[Thumbs up to the production team for this!!]

[Then my support for Brother Chen and Ye Chenchen’s CP is about to come true! ]

[The program crew is really wild! ]

The director held up a small speaker and shouted, "At the same time, there is also bad news. The guests who are successfully matched will be paired together to enter the love mode. The guests who are not successfully matched will be eliminated from the filming for a period of one month."

Ye Lingchen finally raised his head. Love? What love? Didn't the director say he was here to make friends? He looked at Jing Jianchen beside him in confusion. This sounded strange.

[Ah, no, my Ye Chenchen doesn't want to be eliminated! ]

[Is the production team really that ruthless this time? ]

【Some of them look good this time. 】

As soon as the director said this, many guests became agitated. Everyone had their own plans in mind. He Qingshui unconsciously clasped his fingers on the sofa. He couldn't be eliminated. Now that Jing Jianchen was here, it was a good opportunity for him to be exposed.

He couldn't just rely on Gu Zheye. To be on the safe side, he had to select suitable blue guests. It would be safer if he had two in his hands.

Ye Lingchen still felt something strange when he returned to the room. He was about to ask Jing Jianchen what was going on when he found out that his tutor was taking a shower. He fell asleep wrapped in the quilt while waiting.

Hearing the news, Lu Yijin tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He Qingshui, who was in the bed next to him, was also asleep. He Qingshui turned over and faced Lu Yijin in the bed next to him. He called out softly, "Lu Yijin, are you asleep?"

"No." Lu Yijin said in a muffled voice.

"Are you thinking about what the director said today?"

"Um."

"Is it for Ye Lingchen?"

"You, how did you know?" Lu Yijin was so shocked that he stuttered.

"You're so obvious how could anyone not see it?"

In the darkness, Lu Yijin's face slowly turned red. "What about you? Do you have someone you like?"

"Secret." He Qingshui said in a low voice.

"Oh~ I know, isn't it Gu Zheye?"

He Qingshui didn't say anything. Gu Zheye was of course his first choice. Gu Zheye was a rich second-generation and being with him was the best choice. But he also knew that Gu Zheye had a bad reputation, and Gu Zheye had not invited him for the first time but Lu Yijin.

Late at night, each guest fell asleep with their own thoughts...

The next morning everything seemed normal. The guests were doing what they were supposed to do. Lu Yijin was still busy making breakfast in the kitchen, Ye Lingchen was still wrapped in the quilt and hadn't gotten up. The other guests were also jogging around the community to earn their living expenses.

It's just that everyone's formation changed unconsciously, and Qiao An caught up with Jing Jianchen who was running in front, "Hey, Jing Jianchen, wait for me."

"What's up?"

"Can't I run with you?" Qiao An ran beside Jing Jianchen with her ponytail swinging.

He Qingshui, who was not far away, actually started running after Meng Zhanyang. Meng Zhanyang sped up like a fool. He thought he was running too slowly and blocked He Qingshui's way. He Qingshui ran for a long time and was always left behind when he was about to catch up with Meng Zhanyang.

He Qingshui's mouth twitched. Meng Zhanyang, are you here to participate in the dating variety show or the sports meet?

Meng Zhanyang's fans mocked Meng Zhanyang mercilessly in the barrage.

[Brother, run slower, hahahaha~]

[I'm dying of laughter. He Qingshui wanted to come over, but he dumped her.]

[Which red-team guest has your eye on, brother? ]

[Hmm... The first person he noticed was Ye Lingchen.]

[Brother chose Lu Xiaojin, so cute~]

When Jing Jianchen came back, Ye Lingchen was still asleep. He gently called Ye Lingchen up, "Ye Lingchen, get up."
