Chapter 5 Cannon fodder is unlucky. Just a man

When the system came back the next day, Ye Man had already folded the quilt and pillow and moved them back to the bed.

There is an audiobook playing in the room.

"The boss said in a stern voice: "Madam, have you admitted your mistake?"

"The assistant said, "Sir, my wife has won 50 million in the lottery and bought a plane ticket to the Maldives overnight. She is now surfing on the island with 18 male models!"

Ye Man: "Wow! Fifty million, so jealous!"

System: "......"

What is it like to be a host with a vicious cannon fodder whose skill points are all copied from audiobooks and short plays?

The system was disappointed with the failure of the original plan: "You are the worst vicious cannon fodder I have ever led!"

"Brother Tong, you're back!" Ye Man's palm-sized face broke into a bright smile, which made the system, which was told that the performance points had been deducted and could not be recovered, couldn't help but feel tender.

After softening, he slapped himself hard.

Ye Man is a harmless-looking but poisonous man-eating plant. Nine out of ten of his words are lies and cannot be believed at all. If you are soft-hearted towards him, you will fall into his trap.

The system snorted: "Get ready. There is a plot that needs you to complete the day after tomorrow."

The protagonists Meng Yao and Chi Jue have been in a cold war for some time. Chi Jue unilaterally cut off contact with Meng Yao for unknown reasons.

Meng Yao lowered his head first, and under the pretext of inviting Ye Man out to play, he wanted to take the opportunity to ask Chi Jue out for a talk.

If he had just told Chi Jue that he wanted to see her, Chi Jue might have found various excuses to turn him down, but it would be different if he invited Ye Man.

Ye Man, the ignorant cannon fodder, was naturally overjoyed when he heard that the heir of the Meng family invited him out to play, and that the destination was a horse farm in the suburbs of Beijing, a place he had never even dreamed of going to before, and he could not wait to agree.

Ye Man was so enthusiastic. Chi Jue, as a fake young master with an awkward identity, couldn't tell Meng Yao that he came to see him, and it was even more impossible for him to leave Ye Man alone to such an occasion. He could only follow him helplessly.

"You have long heard about Meng Yao's status in the Beijing circle. This time he invited you to attend a party in their circle. You mistakenly thought that he had some feelings for you, so you wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Meng Yao. After all, you are the real young master of the Chi family, and you think Meng Yao should have been yours."

"You pretended to sit on Meng Yao's lap accidentally, and deliberately let Chi Jue see you, successfully creating a conflict between the top and bottom protagonists."

Ye Man: "But didn't you say that our ultimate goal is to help the protagonist and the bottom get together? Then why should I create conflicts for them?"

"Oh, what do you know? You are just a part of their couple play. You are responsible for making the bottom jealous. It seems that you created the conflict, but in fact you are the one who pushed the relationship between the top and the bottom. Who made you get the main character, the top?"

"Besides, even if you are willing, the main character is not. The main character and the bottom have a bond stronger than gold, and you are just a vicious cannon fodder. Nine out of ten times, the bad things you do will end up with a slap in the face, and it will never succeed."

Ye Man breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay."

The system saw that he was reluctant, and belatedly came to its senses.

"You are not happy?" The system flipped through the script strangely, "Don't you feel that Chi Jue has taken over your life and made you suffer in the first half of your life, so you feel very unbalanced and want to take away everything from Chi Jue in your dark heart?"

"Yes, I think so," he answered as a matter of course, and then looked confused and hesitant, "But the protagonist top... forget it."

The system was puzzled: "Why?"

Ye Man lowered his head, looking like someone who had done something wrong and was afraid of being criticized, and whispered: "Meng Yao...isn't he a man?"

He doesn't want to sit on a man's lap.

The system gasped in horror, and the script was flipping rapidly.

"Ye Man, you...are you straight?"

Ye Man found it very strange.

Aren't straight men normal? Why is the system so shocked?

But he still said in a soft voice: "I don't like people."

"......ah?"

But Ye Man said seriously: "It's just... I don't like people."

Ye Man narrowed his eyes: "Brother Tong is not a human being. I like Brother Tong."

The system stayed still for two seconds, and then the host issued an alarm indicating overload and temperature out of control.

Ye Man pinched the hem of her clothes shyly and waited for a while. Then she heard the familiar "pop" sound, followed by a cold "oh" from the system.

"Even if you're trying to trick me, I still have to do the job. Not breaking your legs, not killing you, and giving you money are my bottom line."

Ye Man paused, and his smile faded a little.

But his voice was still cheerful and bright: "You actually saw through me. It's getting harder and harder to deceive Brother Tong, woo woo~"

He wailed twice, without any crying tone, but in a brisk and cheerful voice, with the tail note reaching the ceiling. It didn't sound like he was pretending to cry, but rather like a cheerful little train.

"......I knew you were lying to me." The system snorted again, and somehow, it smiled at Ye Man and subconsciously lowered its voice.

As expected, just as the system said, Meng Yao's invitation was soon delivered to the Chi family. Without mentioning Chi Jue, two new horse suits were delivered, one of which was naturally a perfect fit for Chi Jue's body data.

Ye Man's portion was not so precise, it was a little bit bigger, and the difference was obvious.

Chi Jue had mixed feelings, but Ye Man didn't feel anything. He couldn't understand the subtle difference between them. His heart and eyes were filled with excitement that he could ride a horse.

Standing beside the car, Chi Yan bent down to fasten Ye Man's seat belt, and took the newly bought blind stick from the housekeeper Uncle Feng and handed it to Ye Man. Looking at Ye Man's happy face, Chi Yan said mercilessly: "Xiao Man, you can't ride a horse. You can't see and you will fall off."

He looked at Chi Jue again: "Xiao Jue, keep an eye on him. Don't let him out of your sight."

Ye Man wanted to retort, but Chi Yan's pressure as the eldest brother was really strong. Chi Jue covered Ye Man's mouth and smiled: "I will keep an eye on Xiao Man, big brother."

The car started, and Ye Man still looked depressed.

Before getting off the car, Chi Jue asked him to stretch out his hand.

My wrist was held by something.

Ye Man used his weak vision to vaguely see that it was a watch.

It's not a mechanical watch, it's a smart watch.

Chi Jue said softly, "Click here and there will be a sound to tell the time. Press here and it will call my brother and me. And here is the alarm. Press this if you encounter a bad guy. Remember it?"

"I put the watch that Dad gave me in a box and asked Aunt Zhou to put it on your desk. You can usually wear the one you have now."

Ye Man was being taught by him by the hand. She rubbed her toes on the ground and lowered her head.

He subconsciously grabbed the origami rabbit in his pocket, then quickly let go.

He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Even if you give me something, I won't like it."

"Um."

"This was originally mine."

"Um."

Who would be grateful to someone for giving him something that belongs to him as a gift?

Ye Man is not such a fool who is easily deceived.

Chi Jue looked at Ye Man who turned his head away with an indifferent expression, and did not feel anything because of Ye Man's hostility.

Everyone outside was waiting to see the excitement and jokes in the Chi family. However, Chi Jue, who had received an elite education since childhood and had an older brother who was stricter than his own father, would never let things get to that embarrassing point.

He had Ye Man's information in hand, and was actually prepared for the possibility that Ye Man would be resentful towards him when he returned, and would make it difficult for him to take action.

Ye Man was indeed not happy with him.

Ye Man hasn't even finished reading, so if he really wants to fight, there's no way he can beat Chi Jue.

However, his target was slightly different from what Chi Jue had expected.

Chi Jue smiled silently.

After delivering the things, he prepared to take Ye Man in.

After taking only two steps, the corner of his clothes became heavy.

He turned back, stunned.

Ye Man stretched out a hand, in which lay a light pink origami rabbit.

"Here, as a return gift." Ye Man smiled maliciously, and said to him in a very malicious and sarcastic tone: "Brother, you won't refuse it, right?"

He actually felt a little distressed.

A young master like Chi Jue would not like such cheap goods. Even if he accepted it for the sake of brotherly face, he would definitely throw it away later.

But Ye Man really liked the little rabbit he folded.

But in order to deliberately annoy Chi Jue, he still reluctantly sent it away.

He exchanged an origami bunny for two watches!

Haha, Chi Jue must be pissed off!

The system watched Baba drag the rabbit and see Ye Man in front of Chi Jue, and then looked at Chi Jue who had a smile on his face after being stunned. It was hard to say whether Ye Man probably didn't annoy Chi Jue, because Chi Jue carefully accepted Ye Man's rabbit, smiled, bent down and pinched Ye Man's face.

"Thank you, Xiaoman. I like it very much."

Ye Man covered her face: "Brother Tong, he pinched my face, he must be angry!"

System: "I want to pinch him too... No, I mean, um, yes, Chi Jue is almost pissed off."

It tells lies in all seriousness.

Ye Man suddenly felt happy that he was being affirmed. He couldn't see that Chi Jue's eyes softened as he glanced at the corners of his mouth, which he couldn't suppress.

Behind a window not far away, someone saw the interaction between the two brothers.

Xu Huaiting withdrew his gaze from the little blind boy's pale pink lips and looked at the other person beside the little blind boy.

The man sitting by the window was handsome and sharp, with a high nose bridge and a pair of mixed-blood grey eyes that were cold and deep, making it impossible to see through him or guess what he was thinking.

"Is it because of this person that you asked Mr. Meng to come to me?"

Meng Yao never bows his head in front of anyone, but in front of Xu Huaiting, he had no choice but to bow his head.

Meng Yaohun stood stiffly aside, unable to withstand the aura emanating from Xu Huaiting, and lowered his head and called him "uncle".

Xu Huaiting lowered his eyes calmly: "I'll give you one day to get rid of it completely."

"Meng Yao, the Meng family cannot tolerate a fool. Old Master Meng retired two years ago. He has high hopes for you among the younger generation of the Meng family. Don't let him down," Xu Huaiting raised his eyelids. "It's okay to let you fool around for two years, but don't make a fuss about important matters. You know in your heart that Chi Jue is not the biological child of the Chi family. It's just an excuse."

"The Chi family is good, and Chi Jue is good, but they are not good enough for you."

"You are still a man. You are making a big fuss for a man. Meng Yao, if you want to die, just say so. There is no need to go through so much trouble. Do you know how many people are watching you? Why are you handing evidence to others?"

Xu Huaiting was almost laughing at his love-minded nephew.

Meng Yao's body became even stiffer, and he refused to give in. A hint of cruelty appeared on his face: "Unless you kill me, I will never give up Chi Jue!"

Xu Huaiting sneered, "Okay, if you can hold on to the end, I'll consider you a brave man."

He moved his fingers, and several tall and big figures surrounded Meng Yao silently.

Secretary Chen hesitated: "Sir, Mr. Meng..."

Meng Yao's expression became even more ferocious, and he refused to bow his head: "Secretary Chen, don't worry about it!"

Xu Huaiting had already lost interest and looked away: "You're blocked, stop making noise."

Meng Yao was taken away, and Secretary Chen whispered in his ear: "Sir, the people who have been following you for a week are here as expected. Our security guards are waiting outside."

As for Meng Yao's love affairs, even if Old Master Meng spoke up, it would not be enough to bother Xu Huaiting to go there in person.

He came here to do something else.

If Xu Huaiting really wanted to solve Meng Yao's problem, it would be much simpler than this. He could just make him disappear, and the Chi family wouldn't dare to say anything.

But Meng Yao is a little wolf cub. Now that the person he loves most is gone, he might do something.

Thinking of the possible commotion that might occur later, Secretary Chen asked, "Sir, should we send more people to the first floor?"

They are a group of rich young masters and ladies. They were all invited by Meng Yao, so it would be troublesome if anything happened to them.

The image of the little blind man flashed through Xu Huaiting's mind.

He tapped his fingers on the table thoughtfully.

"Pie it."

......

Ye Man just slipped out quietly when Chi Jue wasn't paying attention.

Chi Jue was watching him very seriously. The system told him that Meng Yao was upstairs, so Ye Man had been racking his brains to find a chance to escape from Chi Jue's care and go upstairs to find Meng Yao to complete the task.

After finally getting rid of Chi Jue, he was stopped at the stairs again.

"I'm sorry, sir, the second floor is only open to black gold customers." The waiter politely declined him.

When Ye Man didn't know what to do, someone suddenly pulled him and dragged him to a corner.

The man looked him up and down. He tried to squint, but could only see a few extremely tall men surrounding him.

"Brother, he seems to be blind, and a man."

"Aren't you short of a woman? Why are you bringing a man along?"

"It's about the same. He looks like this..."

A hard object pressed against Ye Man's lower back.

"Cooperate, don't scream, just do as I say and change your clothes."

A piece of clothing was thrown into Ye Man's hand. Ye Man touched it tremblingly and found that it was a cheongsam.

"Big, big brother..." Now Ye Man didn't need to act anymore, tears just fell.

Sincerely.

He was sobbing in his heart: "Brother Tong, I know my plot will be ruined, but, but... you don't have to make such a big fuss to stop me, right?"
