Chapter 600 Mental Breakdown
The reason was so absurd that Ye Wanxi was stunned for several seconds before she came to her senses and could only smile wryly.
Just as I was about to complain, Feng Tianyu beat me to it: "We've been back from Y Province for so long, but we've spent less than a day together in total."
Feng Tianyu's words were filled with sorrow, clearly indicating that Ye Wanxi's extremely busy schedule had greatly affected the young couple's relationship.
Ye Wanxi touched her nose guiltily and chuckled, "This was a job that was arranged a long time ago. I was already in the wrong for delaying it for so long, but now that I'm finally back, I can't let people wait for nothing and break my promise, can I?"
As soon as Ye Wanxi finished speaking, Feng Tianyu gave her a quick glance, which made her heart skip a beat for no reason.
Ye Wanxi took a deep breath and decided to unleash her trump card.
"Actually, I originally planned to discuss it with you in a couple of days."
"Um?"
"Recently, in addition to some movie and TV series offers, I have also received many invitations from variety shows to be a guest on the show."
Feng Tianyu frowned slightly, signaling her to continue.
"One of the variety shows mainly focuses on the daily life of celebrities living together with their boyfriends or girlfriends who have already established a relationship."
Feng Tianyu's eyes brightened slightly, and he roughly guessed what Ye Wanxi wanted to say, but he was not quite sure.
"You want to do this variety show?"
"Hmm." Ye Wanxi blushed slightly and took the initiative to ask, "I wanted to ask you, would you be willing to go on this show with me?"
Feng Tianyu didn't give an answer immediately, but asked in a low voice, "Aren't you worried that if my identity is revealed, people will misunderstand and think you're trying to curry favor with someone powerful?"
Ye Wanxi looked at him strangely upon hearing this, as if wondering why Feng Tianyu would ask such a question.
It's true that her senior brother is a powerful figure, but it's not elegant to say that she's clinging to his leg. It's more like he's the one forcibly pushing his leg into her arms.
"What's there to worry about? If I cared about that, I wouldn't have publicly announced that I had a boyfriend on the show in the first place."
Ye Wanxi still felt something was off after she finished speaking: "Why do you ask that? Did someone tell you something?"
"It's nothing, it's just that although you mentioned having a boyfriend on the show before, you've never mentioned me, and you've never posted any photos of yourself or me online, so..."
"So, you think I'm unwilling to reveal your identity and give you a proper status?"
Ye Wanxi couldn't help but chuckle as she spoke. She really hadn't expected that her senior brother, who was so arrogant and aloof in his previous life and didn't care about anything, would be so insecure in matters of the heart.
"That was my oversight. You wait, I'll post a photo of the two of us right now."
Ye Wanxi took out her phone to send the photos, but then seemed to remember something. Her eyes darted around, and she said with a smile, "No, we can't send them now. If we really go on this show, your mystery will be a huge highlight. So, my dear boyfriend, would you like to go on this lovey-dovey show with me?"
At a traffic light, Feng Tianyu stopped the car, turned and stared at Ye Wanxi for a while before smiling: "I'd be happy to. However, before that, we need to..."
"What?"
"Living together".
While the two were sweetly discussing how to appear on a TV show and make their relationship public, Li Weiming, who was speeding home, was in a much worse situation.
Li Weiming had only been home for less than two minutes when Li Juexing rushed in from outside. Seeing his younger brother unharmed, he paused for a moment, then asked with concern, "What's the rush that made you call me back? You weren't in a bad mood and got into some trouble outside, were you?"
Li Weiming couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Brother, my own brother, in your eyes, am I just such an uneducated and good-for-nothing younger brother?"
"That's right. You were so cute when you were little, always calling me 'brother' all the time. Now that you're grown up, all you do is annoy me. Sigh, why can't any child stay well-behaved forever and never grow up?"
Li Weiming was so angry he wanted to hit him, but then he remembered Ye Wanxi's words and immediately deflated: "I'm not going to talk nonsense with you anymore, let's get down to business. Have you been planning to go anywhere near the mountains lately?"
"Near the mountains? Oh, you mean the field trip to the tea plantations in City B? Who told you about it? Are you asking now because you want to come with me?"
Upon hearing this, Li Weiming's heart skipped a beat. The Li family started with tea and relied on generations of tea production and sales to reach its current scale. Most of the tea fields related to their company's business were planted on the mountains.
When Li Weiming was very young, he went back to his ancestral home in the mountains with his family to see the tea fields. As he grew up, he had more things to do and had to go to school, so he went back less often.
He hadn't thought of this when Ye Wanxi mentioned it before, but now that his older brother said it, Li Weiming felt his scalp tingle.
"Why did I have to send you to do the field research? Couldn't someone else go? Please listen to me this time, let someone else go in your place, okay?"
Li Juexing looked at his younger brother suspiciously: "Why are you acting so strangely today? How can you change things so easily? I've already booked my plane ticket. It's late at night, a few hours from now. I'll be back to pick up a change of clothes. Besides, this collaboration is very important to the company, so I have to go there in person."
Upon hearing that his elder brother was leaving tonight, Li Weiming's expression completely changed: "No...no, you can't go!"
"Why?"
"Because...because I'm not feeling well." Li Weiming said, pretending to faint, determined that no matter what, he absolutely couldn't let his brother leave the house today.
"Brother, please take me to the hospital quickly, my head hurts so much, I'm about to die."
Unfortunately, this guy's acting skills, which he had only learned halfway through, were really too bad. Li Juexing saw through him at a glance, waved him away, and went upstairs: "Stop messing around. You look as strong as an ox."
"Brother, brother, listen to me."
Li Weiming chased after Li Juexing upstairs and saw that he had already pulled out his suitcase and was packing his clothes. He couldn't care less about anything else at that moment and carefully explained how he had invited his classmates to celebrate his new home and how he had almost lost his life by playing a game that had attracted a real ghost.
He also emphasized Ye Wanxi's prowess, revealing the bloody calamity that the other party had deduced from his name.
I thought I had explained everything in such detail that even if my older brother didn't believe me completely, he would at least take in a word or two.
Unexpectedly, after rambling on and on, all he got in return was his older brother slamming his suitcase shut and angrily saying, "You brat, you can't even make up a believable story. A master, my foot! I think you've been tricked by those charlatans. I'll have Dad investigate that swindler thoroughly later. If she dares to cheat my brother Li Juexing, I'll skin her alive!"
Li Weiming: "..." I'm totally losing it!
Little Leaf: Hehe, who knows who'll skin whom alive!
