Chapter 42: No Progress on the Mission

Whose good brothers walked hand in hand? Or did Zhang Fei take off Guan Yu's clothes, pull a chair for him, and pick shrimp for him?

Anyway, they haven't seen it.

The three of them were sure that the two were just dating, but they didn't know to what extent. The three of them were very curious, but they didn't dare to ask. In terms of generation, they were the younger generation, and they were not recognized as the younger generation. Well, it was a bit pitiful.

Ji Yimu still picked up food for Yan Yue, and Yan Yue did not refuse. Since he could not refuse, he gladly accepted it.

Yan Yue glanced at the green peppers he didn't like in the bowl, then secretly glanced at Ji Yimu. Seeing that no one was looking at him, he quickly put all the green peppers on the plate and continued to eat other dishes with peace of mind.

But the next moment, the green peppers appeared in the bowl again. Yan Yue looked at Ji Yimu with resentment, and was very sure that this man did it on purpose.

"Be good and don't be picky about food."

"Hmph~"

How can such cold words come out of such warm mouth?

Yan Yue didn't want to wrong himself, nor did he want to eat, but Ji Yimu's meaningful look made his heart tremble.

The scene of being unable to get out of bed due to body aches popped into Yan Yue's mind, and he didn't know why he subconsciously thought of this scene.

Maybe he was really bullied, or maybe Ji Yimu's gaze was too direct.

"Why do you force Xiaoyan to do it if he doesn't want to eat?"

Mu Lin couldn't stand it. He saw his junior brother being bullied in front of him, and who knows how he would bully him behind his back.

If I had known that Ji Yimu was such a black-hearted person, I would have protected my junior brother.

"Brother, his health has always been poor and his nutrition is unbalanced."

Ji Yimu showed no expression towards Mu Lin.

"That's not a big deal."

Mu Lin was bored and struggled slightly.

"Hey, it turns out that he is not our child."

"You little brat, if I don't do what you want, I'm no longer your child. Do you want me to sow discord here?"

Mu Lin regretted why he brought Ji Yimu with him to dinner, and he wanted to go back in time and beat up his past self, thinking that he was inviting an ancestor to himself.

"Xiao Yan, let's not pay attention to him." There was no point in saying it, who allowed himself to be the dumbest, "By the way, there is one more thing to do today, your second brother, please send the herbs you need over to me, they are all there, and I have also set up a laboratory for you, you can use them anytime."

Mu Lin also checked Yan Yue's pulse and found that his health was indeed slightly worse than that of an average person. He did not object to Ji Yimu's nervousness and also wanted him to be healthy. Of course, he was also looking forward to the final effect of the medicine.

"Will it be troublesome?"

Yan Yue still felt that he couldn't let Mu Lin break the rules just because of personal matters.

"will not."

"If you need help, can you take my three students with you? Even though they are not very smart, they can still gather herbs and make medicine."

"good."

Yan Yue didn't dislike Mu Lin's idea. If for no other reason than for the mission, he also had to contact these three people. After all, they were the people closest to Mu Lin.

Mu Lin must have valued these three students very much, and he always tried to pave the way for them, but in the end, someone hurt him like that.

How disappointed and heartbroken Mu Lin will be when he finds out.

Why

Yan Yue didn't know what to say, maybe it was just that human greed is the root of all evil.

"Thank you for your hard work, all three of you."

Yan Yue stared at the three people opposite him and glanced at their expressions.

Well, it's normal.

"Brother, when will Second Brother come back? I haven't thanked him in person for sending me so many medicinal herbs."

That's the sponsor, he saved me so much money.

Of course you have to express your gratitude in person, that's a bit of courtesy, but as for the rest, forget it.

"Him?" Mu Lin glanced at Ji Yimu, "He should be able to come back for the New Year."

Originally, he could have returned earlier, but he had no idea what he had conspired with Ji Yimu and had to postpone his return date.

"Oh, is that so? I'll call him to thank him later."

No need to even meet in person? That's great. For people with mild social anxiety, it feels like they have passed another level.

"Don't be too polite to him,"

After all, the benefits he received were not small.

Ji Yimu didn't want Ouyang Ling to take advantage of Yan Yue.

Want to trick her boyfriend into working for him.

hehe……

It’s too nice to think about it. Don’t think about it next time.

"If I'm too polite, he'll feel awkward."

"Really?"

"If you don't believe me, ask Senior Brother."

"Well, you don't have to be polite to him."

It's all Ouyang Ling's fault. What's wrong with using him to prepare the herbs?

After all, he benefited from it later.

Even if it is simply because of the relationship between fellow apprentices, there is nothing wrong with it.

Everything was finalized over a meal, and starting tomorrow, they would officially get busy.

Learning, tasks, and developing the formula for the medicine.

Of course, I have seen the people I should see, although I have no clue yet, and everyone seems to be a good person.

This is already a great achievement.

Yan Yue and Ji Yimu politely declined Mu Lin's offer to send them off, and walked back to the dormitory hand in hand. It wasn't a particularly far walk, so they just thought of it as a way to digest their food after dinner.

"Brother, who do you think is more suspicious among the three of them?"

Yan Yue felt his head itchy, as if he needed to grow a brain.

As expected, he is not good at this kind of detective plot, but he has Ji Yimu, who is so smart, so he just needs to win by doing nothing.

Yan Yue didn't think it was bad to rely on others. On the contrary, he enjoyed the feeling of relying on someone wholeheartedly.

You don't have to do anything, just be by his side and trust him.

"I can't tell at the moment, what do you think?"

Ji Yimu will not jump to conclusions easily.

"Zhou Ning seems to be a person who is devoted to academics. Although he didn't say anything during the meal, he became very excited when his senior brother mentioned the experimental project. This also shows that he has a strong sense of gain and loss. Wu Yue, at first glance, gives people the impression that he is very ambitious. As for Xie Mi, he seems gentle, obedient, and has a calm mentality."

This was also the first impression they had of themselves, and Yan Yue could not express anything else.

"You like Shemy?"

Ji Yimu stared at Yan Yue with anger in his eyes.

"When did I like her?"

Yan Yue felt very wronged, and at the same time, he could not keep up with the speed of changing the topic.

"So you praise her because you like her?"

Ji Yimu couldn't remember when Yan Yue praised anyone, regardless of gender.

"Don't you know my sexual orientation?"

"So you mean you would like her if she were a man?"

"My sexual orientation is Ji Yimu, regardless of gender."

It seemed that since returning to school, Yan Yue discovered that this person seemed to have turned on some kind of jealous mode.

He could understand Qin Mu's jealousy. It was just the first time they met, but Yan Yue couldn't understand why he was jealous of someone who had nothing to do with him.

"Hehe, I'll believe you for now.

You have to keep doing this and don’t praise anyone else, male or female, except me.”

"Okay, brother."

So childish.

Seeing Ji Yimu in a good mood and caring about him, Yan Yue felt inexplicably satisfied.

Yan Yue pulled back his hand when they reached the dormitory door. Ji Yimu was not willing at all, but the benefits Yan Yue promised him could not compare to his. It was really that the other party gave too much, so he temporarily suppressed his desire to make it public in the dormitory.

Before he could open the door, Ye Chenxu opened it from the inside.

Yan Yue's face turned slightly red, and he didn't know whether Ye Chenxu had seen it or not. However, seeing that Ye Chenxu didn't look abnormal, he thought that he probably didn't see it, so Yan Yue felt relieved.

In fact, it is not impossible to let the people in the dormitory know about the relationship between him and Ji Yimu. The main thing is that if he just got rejected and then started dating someone else, people would talk about conspiracy theories about him no matter who he was with. What's more, the person was Ji Yimu's good friend. He didn't want to create a rift between Ji Yimu and his friend because of him.

Take your time and let them see your determination and sincerity.

What Yan Yue didn't know was that Ye Chenxu had already seen it, but before he could show any strange expression, Ji Yimu had already warned him with his eyes.

God knows how much effort he put into suppressing the shock in his heart. How could these two people who had nothing in common end up together?

Thinking of Ji Yimu's sinister and treacherous nature, he tried hard to recall that he had never said anything bad about Yan Yue before. It seemed that he had not, so he could rest assured.

However, a glance at Cui Hengyu, who was lying on the bed near the door and listening to music, made him feel gratified for a while.

"Have you eaten yet?"

Just making small talk.

"Yeah, I've eaten."

Ji Yimu's tone was calm. If he could take back his eye roll, the atmosphere might be more harmonious.

Yan Yue nodded symbolically. After all, he was a nobody in this dormitory before, and now he was still a nobody with special hobbies who could not be ignored.

I consciously lowered my presence and went to wash up quietly.

"Hey, you've made an appointment with a beautiful lady right after you came back?"

Cui Hengyu took off his headphones and teased Ji Yimu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Ji Yimu didn't say anything, but gave him a cold look.

"Okay, okay, I'm wrong, okay?"

Can't take a joke, boring.

"Brother Ji, why did you come back with that person?"

"I just happened to meet you at the door."

Ji Yimu didn't blush or get angry, they did meet at the door, he didn't say it was at the dormitory door.

"I think you should stay away from him. Don't let rumors spread. It will definitely be bad for you. If Linlin hears about it, she will definitely be very sad."

Cui Hengyu gave you advice that seemed to be for your own good.

Ji Yimu was really angry this time, and shot at Cui Hengyu like a cold knife.

Ye Chenxu looked at Cui Hengyu with complicated eyes.

"This is the last time I will say that Tang Lin has nothing to do with me. Whether she likes me or not has nothing to do with me. What I am very sure of is that she didn't like me before, she doesn't like me now, and she won't like me in the future.

So I don’t want my name to appear together with hers, at least not from my friends.”

Ji Yimu felt that he had made it very clear that even his good friends could not get involved in his feelings.

This is both an explanation and a warning. The end of friendship is that people with different ideals cannot work together.

Ji Yimu explained it clearly, and the two of them understood it too.

"And Yan Yue is my boyfriend now."

Whether they accept it or not, it is their own business. What does it have to do with them?

Their relationship did not bother anyone.

Ye Chenxu has already accepted it, but as for Cui Hengyu, his mouth is so wide that he can swallow an egg, so he really hasn't thought about it.

"You...what about Linlin?"

Cui Hengyu asked unconsciously.

"I don't care what she does, but if she does something to hurt Yan Yue or make him unhappy, I don't mind returning it double," Ji Yimu's eyes changed when he looked at Cui Hengyu, and he was considering whether he could still keep this friend.

If he had to choose between his friend and his wife, Ji Yimu would not hesitate at all.

"You'd better take my words to her too. When you come to Q University, please shrink it well, otherwise I don't mind regretting what she cares about."

Warning, point-to-point warning.

"I see."

Cui Hengyu was unwilling to let Tang Lin be sad, and was thinking of ways to make her stop liking Ji Yimu, and not to make things difficult for Yan Yue when she knew about his existence.

But it's really difficult.

Ji Yimu glanced at Cui Hengyu with a puzzled look, then went to the bathroom with his toiletries. He wanted to wash up with his wife.

Cui Hengyu waited until Ji Yimu could no longer be seen before he climbed onto Ye Chenxu's bed.

Ye Chenxu looked at Cui Hengyu and didn't want to pay attention to him. He was in a bad mood.

"Xiao Yezi, is Brother Ji and Yan Yue really together?"

Ye Chenxu didn't even raise his eyelids as he looked at the book he had just picked up.

"But Linlin likes Brother Ji so much. If she knew this, she would be heartbroken."

Thinking of this possibility, Cui Hengyu began to feel sad.

Seeing him like this, Ye Chenxu became even angrier, but who could he blame? It was his own fault, so he had to swallow it himself.

But he was so tired that he didn't want to continue.

Ye Chenxu could already see his heart withering.

"Xiao Yezi, analyze this for me,"

Cui Hengyu didn't get an answer, so as usual, he nestled into Ye Chenxu's quilt and subtly put Ye Chenxu's cold feet in his arms.

Perhaps he himself did not realize how skilled and natural what he did was.

"Do you think I should tell Linlin about this? It's already difficult to get her to stop provoking Brother Ji, not to mention that it's even more impossible for her not to cause trouble for Yan Yue once she knows about his existence."

"Then you can tell her directly what Brother Ji said. If Tang Lin gives up, then your chance will come, right?"

Ye Chenxu encouraged him despite the heartache.

Maybe after this person's wish is fulfilled, I will be able to give up and let go completely.

"No, she would be so sad." Cui Hengyu would be very happy if he could really be with Tang Lin. But now that these words came out of Ye Chenxu's mouth, he just felt a little uncomfortable and very strange, and he couldn't explain it.

"hehe……"

"Xiao Yezi, if you have something to say, please stop being so gloomy. I'm here to discuss countermeasures with you."

Tang Lin’s importance outweighs the slight discomfort in my heart.

"Get lost, I want to sleep."

How heartless I am, teaching myself to secretly pursue my rival and still discussing here how to not hurt my rival.

Who can comfort your sadness?

The more I think about it, the more upset I feel, and the more ruthless I become.

When Yan Yue and Ji Yimu came out, they saw Cui Hengyu still screaming on Ye Chenxu's bed.
