Extra scene 3
Xie Zhinian's heart trembled slightly and his pupils shrank.
He wanted to pull his wrist free, but this time, Yu Jingchen was extremely strong and he couldn't pull it out.
Yu Jingchen stared at him intently, his deep gaze hiding countless complex emotions, as if he wanted to suck him in.
"Why didn't you come to school the next day?"
In a trance, Yu Jingchen seemed to be back in high school, and sitting opposite him was Xie Zhinian, who was still eighteen years old and had not been to school for a long time.
Xie Zhinian didn't seem to have changed much from before. If he had to say something, it was that he dyed his hair a cold brown. But he had a bright appearance, and this hair color made his facial features look even more delicate.
"I have something going on at home. Why are you asking this?"
If the eighteen-year-old Xie Zhinian was facing the eighteen-year-old Yu Jingchen, he would definitely be able to fool him without changing his expression or heart beating.
But now he seemed unable to deceive Yu Jingchen. On the contrary, it seemed that Yu Jingchen saw through his every thought. This powerful insight was really annoying.
Just then, the taxi stopped at the foot of a building, and the driver turned around and said, "We're here."
Xie Zhinian quickly changed the subject and didn't bother asking for money anymore, "We're at your house, come on down."
Yu Jingchen didn't move, "Where do you live?"
Xie Zhinian said truthfully: "Hotel, I don't have a house in Kyoto, do you think everyone is like you, young master?"
"Since you have nowhere to go, why not stay at my house for now? I live alone here and it's big, so you can move around freely."
Xie Zhinian paused for two seconds and said, "You...you are not going to charge me rent, are you?"
Yu Jingchen said calmly: "No, it's free. If you go, I will pay you for your hard work."
Apart from anything else, this last point alone was enough to excite Xie Zhinian. When he heard that it was free, he immediately took the luggage out of the trunk without saying a word.
Xie Zhinian followed Yu Jingchen and was stunned by Yu Jingchen's house as soon as he entered.
He is indeed a rich man. In this area where every inch of land is valuable, the elevator goes to the top floor of the 100th floor of the building. As soon as the door is opened, there is an entrance hall. Outside the large floor of several hundred square meters, there is an open-air swimming pool and an outdoor courtyard.
Xie Zhinian walked around the room with shining eyes, and suddenly found a question, "Yu Jingchen, you haven't been single for so many years, have you?"
There is no sign that anyone else has lived in the entire house. It is so clean and simple that it is scary.
Seeing Yu Jingchen didn't say anything, Xie Zhinian burst out laughing. He held on to the chair like he did in high school and laughed at Yu Jingchen.
"What about you?" Yu Jingchen asked.
"Hmm?" Xie Zhinian's smile froze on his lips.
What the hell is going on? Wasn’t Yu Jingchen a taciturn person in high school? He usually answered questions one by one like squeezing toothpaste. How come he has learned to ask questions in return now?
"Guess what, I'm not like you anyway." Xie Zhinian yawned and waved at Yu Jingchen, "Thank you for taking me in. I can't thank you enough. I'll treat you to a meal when I have money."
Xie Zhinian pushed his small suitcase into the guest room.
He is indeed different from Yu Jingchen. Yu Jingchen has such good conditions and is a high-level Alpha. He thought that even if he is single now, he should have had several relationships in the past.
I didn’t expect that Yu Jingchen was just like him, an older single guy.
But even if someone wanted Yu Jingchen for another ten years, forget it. Now no one wants him to even wash dishes, let alone find a partner.
While having breakfast in the morning, Yu Jingchen asked Xie Zhinian many questions. Xie Zhinian leaned his arms on the table, and his half-smiled answers made Yu Jingchen feel as if the past ten years had ceased to exist.
Xie Zhinian said that there were some problems at home at that time, and he had to transfer to another school because of his parents' work. Later, he was admitted to Jiangnan University, but he did not choose the right major, and it was difficult to find a job. After several years in society, he still did not buy a house or a car.
Now he has changed his career and become a live streamer, the kind that doesn't show his face. He usually plays games and chats with fans. But after all, he is not young anymore, and his hand speed cannot compare to those technical live streamers, so the money he earns is just enough to make ends meet.
After hearing this, Yu Jingchen felt an indescribable heaviness in his heart.
Xie Zhinian's grades were similar to his at the beginning, and he almost caught up with him several times. Why did it turn out like this?
"But I think I'm living a pretty good life." Xie Zhinian snapped his fingers at Yu Jingchen who was frowning, "It's good to be able to support yourself, don't be so pessimistic, at least I've lived an easy life these years."
After breakfast, Xie Zhinian was going to do some work. Yu Jingchen asked if he wanted to give him a ride, but Xie Zhinian refused.
It was exactly nine o'clock in the morning when Yu Jingchen arrived at the company. Thinking of what Xie Zhinian said in the morning, Yu Jingchen called his assistant Lin Qi.
Lin Qi also graduated from Jiangnan University, so he should be considered Xie Zhinian's junior.
The Yu family's group now recruits graduates from top-notch universities. Not only that, the graduates also have to go through layers of selection.
Xie Zhinian said that he couldn't find a job, and Yu Jingchen wanted him to come to the group to develop. First, Yu Jingchen knew Xie Zhinian's ability, and second, he had selfish motives.
Yu Jingchen assigned this matter to Lin Qi, but within half a day, Lin Qi came back with a shocking news.
Xie Zhinian never attended Jiangnan University.
Yu Jingchen didn't understand what this meant.
"This is true. I called a teacher at Jiang University to retrieve his information for archiving, but it turned out that Jiang University never recruited him." Lin Qi said seriously.
Yu Jingchen was silent for a long while, so long that Lin Qi began to wonder if he had said something wrong.
Xie Zhinian deceived him again. If he had not paid special attention to Xie Zhinian's past, he might have been deceived by this man again.
Xie Zhinian would never have thought that he would make a mistake because of the name of a university.
Xie Zhinian would stay in Kyoto for a total of three days. After finishing today's affairs, Xie Zhinian returned to Yu Jingchen's house very early.
He wandered around the house bored, trying to find something to do. By chance, he found a few high school exercise books on the bookshelf in Yu Jingchen's study.
Xie Zhinian took out the exercise book, stared at the name on it for a long time, and finally recognized it with difficulty - Yu Chucheng.
Xie Zhinian remembered that Yu Jingchen once said that he had a younger brother. Every time he mentioned this younger brother, his icy face would become gentle.
It’s confirmed that she’s a brother control.
However, this exercise book seemed to have been accidentally picked up. Xie Zhinian was bored, so he lay on the sofa and read the exercise book to kill time.
High school physics was his weakest subject, and his brother's handwriting was so ugly that Xie Zhinian became sleepy and fell asleep on the sofa as he read.
He had a very bad dream about the summer of his high school years.
He tried desperately to escape from that summer, but the road ahead was like a maze and he couldn't get out no matter what.
Can someone help me...
Just when Xie Zhinian was about to suffocate like a drowning man, a familiar voice woke him up from his nightmare.
Yu Jingchen freed him from the sofa pillow, "Xie Zhinian, do you want to suffocate yourself?"
Xie Zhinian was sweating all over, his face was as pale as paper, he sat up suddenly, and the exercise book on his body fell to the ground. He was like a drowning man grabbing the only floating wood, and before his brain could react, his arms had already tightly hugged Yu Jingchen.
Yu Jingchen was stunned, frozen in place with his body slightly leaning forward.
Xie Zhinian's body temperature was very hot, warming him through the thin cloth, but Xie Zhinian's body was shaking constantly, blocking all his questions.
After that night, Xie Zhinian seemed to be deliberately avoiding Yu Jingchen.
It's like a person who is well disguised, but suddenly his weakness is discovered when he is off guard.
Yu Jingchen did not ask any further questions.
He couldn't find Xie Zhinian before, and there was no news about him. But now that he had found a way out, he could use it to unravel the mystery.
He had a way to find out where Xie Zhinian came from and where he went.
Xie Zhinian is a very clever liar, but no matter what lies he tells, Yu Jingchen will know the truth. He is no longer the 18-year-old student who could be fooled by Xie Zhinian's two or three words.
Yu Jingchen didn't blame Xie Zhinian for his deception, nor did he want to call him to task. He had no reason and no position. He just wanted to understand the real Xie Zhinian.
