Xie Yan only realized what a man is like after he became a man.
He also had to admit that, in the complexities of human nature, men often have a cold-hearted streak and tend to act in a self-centered manner.
When their own interests are involved, abandoning their wives and children seems to become a trivial matter in their eyes.
The constraints of morality and responsibility become incredibly fragile in an instant.
But it was someone else's choice after all, and Xie Yan chose to respect it. Not only did he not say anything, but he also smiled and said, "They are a good match."
Gu Bin rolled his eyes. "Aren't they a perfect match?"
Xie Yan laughed and turned to look at Liu Yihong. Curiosity compelled him to ask, "Then why were they arguing next door?"
Liu Yihong pursed her lips helplessly, her tone laced with sarcasm: "Isn't it because Shen Jianguo feels betrayed by Wang Xiao?"
"To be honest, Shen Jianguo really had nothing but praise for Wang Xiao. During this period, Wang Xiao's status was almost surpassing Song Jianshe's. But he never expected that Wang Xiao would pull such a trick on him!"
In Shen Jianguo's heart, Wang Yindi was like a fish in his pond. Even if he didn't care for her, he would never tolerate anyone close to him touching her.
"Moreover, Wang Xiao innocently claimed that Shen Jianguo was the one who brought him and Wang Yindi together. How could he not be furious?"
Xie Yan fell silent, unsure of what to say for a moment.
A short while later, the arguing next door quieted down, followed by the sound of a door opening.
Xie Yan looked at Liu Yihong and said confidently, "They're looking for you!"
Liu Yihong smiled wryly, feeling utterly helpless. He really didn't want to get involved in this. He could have used that time to read a book instead!
Sure enough, before Liu Yihong could speak, the curtain was suddenly lifted, and a tall, thin man walked in.
This person was indeed handsome, and even though he was thin, it did not diminish his good looks at all. On the contrary, his thin appearance added a touch of pitiful fragility.
Moreover, this person has a very good demeanor and doesn't seem to come from an ordinary family.
The moment he looked up, I couldn't help but gasp.
He had read many BL novels in his previous life, and the person in front of him was exactly the image of a sickly and weak uke. Looking at his slightly reddened eyes, he was innocent and pitiful, instantly arousing people's protective instincts.
Xie Yan's mind began to wander uncontrollably.
If you gave him a pen right now, he could immediately write a epic love story between a sickly, weak protagonist and a stunningly handsome antagonist, from the initial protection to the later misunderstandings, the protagonist wanting to get married, the antagonist objecting, and then all sorts of tug-of-war, a chase-and-run drama...
When Wang Xiao entered the room and saw so many people, he was slightly taken aback. However, he quickly composed himself, nodded politely to the other two, and then looked at Liu Yihong with earnest eyes: "Yihong, I'm so sorry, could I stay here for the next few days?"
"Don't worry, I'll only stay for a few days. As soon as the snow stops, we'll move out immediately."
Even his voice sounded so fragile and broken that Xie Yan couldn't help but look up at him.
Liu Yihong sighed, looking troubled: "It's not that I'm unwilling, but as you know, I'm not the only one living in this house. If you want to move in, you'll have to ask the others if they agree."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiao's eyes instantly filled with tears. He quickly lowered his head, as if afraid that others would see his vulnerability.
Xie Yan watched this scene, wondering to himself, "Is this guy really straight? What normal man would make that kind of expression?"
"Ahhh! And that melancholy look, that porcelain-white skin, are you sure he's straight?"
Looking at Wang Xiao's appearance, Liu Yihong felt a headache coming on, but still insisted, "I really can't make that decision."
Wang Xiao raised her head, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace, her voice choked with emotion: "It's okay, I'll wait outside. I'll ask them again when they come back."
Xie Yan glanced at the raging snow outside, then looked at Wang Xiao, and thought to himself: This man is really cunning; he's clearly forcing Liu Yihong to agree!
After saying this, Wang Xiao turned around and walked out without hesitation.
Xie Yan frowned as he watched Wang Xiao's retreating figure. It seemed that Wang Xiao was indeed not a simple character, just as Gu Bin had said.
He turned to look at Liu Yihong, who was suffering from a splitting headache and felt utterly helpless. She sighed at Xie Yan, "Tell me, what kind of life am I living every single day?"
"I really miss the days when I could go to school!"
Xie Yan: "!"
He paused for a moment, then patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "Brother, you've worked hard."
Gu Bin rolled his eyes and said irritably, "If he likes to stand, then let him stand!" He hated people like that the most.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud sneeze came from outside.
Gu Bin was immediately speechless. He seriously suspected that this guy had overheard him and was doing this on purpose.
Immediately afterwards, a chorus of sneezes erupted outside, one after another.
Liu Yihong couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up, lifted the curtain, and called out to Wang Xiao outside, "Why don't you come in and sit down? As for where to stay, I really can't make that decision."
Wang Xiao's face was pale, and he forced a weak smile as he said softly, "It's alright. Don't let my frail appearance fool you, I'm actually quite healthy. I'll be fine standing here for a while."
She then casually remarked, "I wonder if Gu Che will be back tonight?" As she spoke, she looked expectantly at Liu Yihong.
Liu Yihong felt annoyed and said irritably, "How would I know? I'm not a mind reader, how could I know if he'll come back or not?"
Seeing Liu Yihong's unfriendly expression, Wang Xiao hurriedly explained, "No, that's not what I meant. I was just asking casually. I was being nosy. Please don't be angry!"
Liu Yihong was furious inside, but on the surface, he curled his lips into a seemingly gentle smile. However, his clenched fists betrayed his true emotions.
Then, he said, trying to sound relaxed, "Why would I be angry? I was just telling the truth."
After saying that, he ignored Wang Xiao and turned around, stepping heavily into the house.
Watching Liu Yihong's departing figure, a cold glint flashed in Wang Xiao's eyes, the ruthlessness in his gaze disappearing in an instant.
He knew perfectly well that he had to move into the dormitory here today no matter what, without delay, and he absolutely could not wait for Gu Che to come back.
He knew Gu Che's temper too well. If Gu Che knew about this, he would definitely be a hundred times unwilling to let him move in.
Only Gu Che was unwilling; no one else dared to say anything.
As if he had heard something, Wang Xiao's eyes dimmed instantly, and a perfectly timed expression of grievance appeared on his face.
That's right, gaining sympathy is what he should be doing right now, and that's exactly what he's good at.
