"Cheng Ye." Lin Can stood on the steps, looking at him with a smile.
Cheng Ye looked up, barely able to see the gleam in Lin Can's eyes as he looked at him. He couldn't help but frown, clutching the book in his arms, and said warily, "What's the matter?"
"Cheng Ye, don't be so nervous. I don't mean any harm. I'm here to apologize for Bai Jingqi. He was ignorant and offended you." It was not easy to see Cheng Ye once. Lin Can didn't want to mention the person Cheng Ye didn't like, but he really had no reason to get close to Cheng Ye.
Cheng Ye looked Lin Can up and down, his eyes full of vigilance. "If he really feels sorry, let him apologize himself."
"I know." Lin Can said with a smile, walked down a step and slowly approached Cheng Ye. "Don't be afraid of me, right..." He paused and said meaningfully, "What did Lei Xiu tell you about me?"
"He likes Bai Jingqi, but Bai Jingqi has always liked me, so there are some misunderstandings between us. He might... have some complaints about me... So, Cheng Ye, you..."
Cheng Ye shrugged: "You also said that it was in the past. Lei Xiu now never mentions you and Bai Jingqi."
Lin Can's smile froze for a moment, and he said, "Really? Lei Xiu was deeply in love with Bai Jingqi before, but I didn't expect that after such a short time, he... Ye Zi, Bai Jingqi seems to be attracted to Lei Xiu... you..."
"I'm sorry, he didn't know me when he fell in love with Bai Jingqi. I'm not as unreasonable as you think..." Cheng Ye frowned and said unhappily, "Please don't call me Ye Zi, we don't seem to be that familiar." Because he disliked Lin Can very much, Cheng Ye's attitude was very unfriendly, and it could even be said that he was... a thorn.
Lin Can's expression froze for a moment, and after a pause he said, "You truly trust Lei Xiu."
Cheng Ye's expression changed instantly, and his guard deepened. He said impatiently, "Since we're already together, how can I trust you if I don't trust him?" He glanced at Lin Can rudely, "Do you have anything else to say? If not, I'm leaving. I'm almost late."
Lin Can's facial features were slightly distorted. He didn't expect that Cheng Ye's personality was completely different from the rumors. But after all, it was a rose. Although the thorns were prickly, they were obviously more stimulating.
Lin Can felt that he liked Cheng Ye more than before. He couldn't wait to see Cheng Ye nestled in his arms, soft and sweet.
Seeing him staring at her without saying anything, Cheng Ye felt annoyed and was about to walk past her.
Lin Can walked forward quickly and grabbed Cheng Ye's wrist: "Ye Zi, wait, I have something to tell you!"
Cheng Ye was horrified and tried to shake him off, but he was a sub-female after all, so how could he possibly break free from a male's grip? A look of panic flashed in his eyes, and he said in a panicked tone, "You, you let me go first!"
Lin Can touched her delicate skin and said affectionately, "Ye Zi, actually, when I first saw you, I... fell in love with you."
Cheng Ye felt goosebumps all over his body. He looked at Lin Can in panic and disgust: "You, what nonsense are you talking about? You just said that Lei Xiu changes his mind quickly, don't you? At least I am Lei Xiu's savior, and there is nothing wrong with us being together, but, I don't know you at all."
Lin Can's face was like a color palette, changing colors again and again. It was the first time he was rejected so bluntly, and he felt his face burning hot.
Most of the time it was because of humiliation, and the other half was because he really liked Cheng Ye, but the other party...
"Ye Zi, do you think Lei Xiu really likes you?" Lin Can's eyes were cold, and full of jealousy when he talked about Lei Xiu.
"Of course." Cheng Ye nodded. He was now Lei Xiu's favorite look.
"No, you were deceived by him. Just before the accident, Bai Jingqi ruthlessly rejected his marriage proposal. It was very embarrassing. He was just using you as a shield, otherwise he would be the laughing stock of the whole planet! When Bai Jingqi changes his mind, he will kick you away. Ye Zi, then you..." Lin Can said maliciously.
"Shut up, he won't!" Cheng Ye said decisively and as a matter of course, but he was obviously a little panicked.
Lin Can felt a surge of joy and happiness in his heart, and he said while the iron was hot: "You've been with him day and night, so you must know whether he is using you or not. He doesn't really like you!"
Cheng Ye said angrily, "I didn't expect anything. I know you are jealous of Lei Xiu. Your pleasure since childhood is to snatch Lei Xiu's things, including the person he likes. It used to be Bai Jingqi, and now it's me. But you will be disappointed this time. Lei Xiu is different from you, and I am different from Bai Jingqi. He loves me now, and I love him too. You don't need to spend time and energy to sow discord between us. I won't be bewitched by you."
"No, Cheng Ye, you are now immersed in the beautiful dream that Lei Xiu has woven for you, and you will definitely not listen to my advice. But one day you will know that I really like you, but Lei Xiu does not, and you will regret it." Lin Can said while taking advantage of his expression.
"No!" Cheng Ye suddenly raised his voice and tried to pull back his hand in embarrassment, "Don't come over here, let me go first." He swung his hand with great force, causing Lin Can to shake twice. His fair skin became red and swollen, and the edges were even faintly white.
"Don't say that." Cheng Ye's voice suddenly softened, and Lin Can's heart was churning when he heard it.
Cheng Ye's face turned pale with tears, and tears fell down in a rush. Seeing this, Lin Can felt inexplicably distressed. He subconsciously took two steps forward: "Ye Zi, don't cry, I won't hurt you, you..."
Cheng Ye was so frightened that he couldn't stop backing away. He shook his head in panic, his eyes constantly changing, and suddenly he burst into tears: "Third Prince, please don't, I... I like Lei Xiu, don't force me, I... don't come over..."
Cheng Ye stumbled and sobbed, and before Lin Can could say anything, the classmates who were surrounding her and still guessing what the relationship between the two was were stunned, and looked at Lin Can with glint in their eyes.
How could the Third Prince bully a woman? Was he trying to poach her? Why was he still clinging to her after being rejected?
Those who had just guessed that Cheng Ye had deceived Lei Xiu and then hooked up with the Third Prince felt embarrassed. It turned out that it was not Cheng Ye who was clinging to the Third Prince, but the Third Prince who forced Cheng Ye.
What's going on with the Third Prince? Doesn't he already have Bai Jingqi? Why...
Did things change with Bai Jingqi? Did Lin Can fall in love with Cheng Ye first, or did Bai Jingqi change his mind first and go back to Lei Xiu?
For a moment, everyone's mind was ignited with gossip.
There are all kinds of guesses, some say that Cheng Ye is shameless and is hooking up with the Third Prince, but seeing how Cheng Ye is trying to avoid him, although there is also a suspicion of playing hard to get, but... shouting it out is not about fun, but about real fear.
"Isn't the Third Prince about to marry Bai Jingqi? Why is he having an affair with Cheng Ye again?"
"How can you tell that it's unclear? Isn't this just the Third Prince relying on his power to snatch someone away? He didn't expect Cheng Ye to ignore him. That's right, if Young Master Lei wants to marry me, I won't even look at other males, okay?" Another woman said enviously. After all, Lin Can only had a better family background. Compared to Lei Xiu, the others were completely crushed. "Do you think everyone is like Bai Jingqi? You're blind!"
"But Cheng Ye is really lucky. I heard that he was just a poor boy from a remote planet before, but now he is probably going to fly to a tree and become a phoenix."
"Don't you even look at that face? This reincarnation is really a great skill. Not everyone can have such excellent genes."
"Yes, Master Lei even found a top pharmacist to be his teacher. Master Lei really put a lot of thought into Cheng Ye. No wonder Cheng Ye wouldn't even look at anyone else for this."
"What about Bai Jingqi? Lei Xiu liked him before, but he was obsessed with the Third Prince. Now Young Master Lei has someone he likes. I heard that he even went up to Young Master Lei to sing a song a while ago, but was rejected. Now the Third Prince has such a complicated relationship. Why does Bai Jingqi seem like cannon fodder?"
"Who knows? Bai Jingqi isn't a good guy anyway." He lowered his voice deliberately, but Cheng Ye could still hear it clearly, including the comments about him from behind. "Who knows, maybe Cheng Ye will be dumped tomorrow, or even dumped by both of them at the same time. Looking at it this way, it seems a bit pitiful."
Cheng Ye, who was sympathized by everyone, took advantage of the moment when Lin Can let go of his hand because he was annoyed by the noisy discussions around him, struggled to break free, and quickly dived into the crowd, escaping from the center of the storm, leaving Lin Can in the encirclement of Bao and being pointed at by everyone.
What an embarrassing comparison.
After Cheng Ye ran away, he looked back and happened to meet Lin Can's angry eyes, and snorted coldly.
Lin Can will continue to pester me in the future. If I don't take the initiative, rumors will spread about me being shameless, trying to climb up the social ladder, and playing two-timing.
Now - even if it wasn't completely avoided, it definitely wasn't all my fault.
Cheng Ye's eyebrows curved. Sometimes, a weak character can be quite intimidating and useful.
Bai Jingqi stared straight at Lin Can and asked in a plaintive tone, "Did you go to find Cheng Ye?"
Lin Can nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes."
"Everyone says that you have fallen in love with Cheng Ye? You..." When Bai Jingqi thought about how people had been gossiping behind him these past two days, even comparing him with Cheng Ye and saying that he lost in terms of vision alone, his hatred for Cheng Ye deepened.
Lin Can shrugged. "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly fall in love with a poor boy? I just asked him something about Lei Xiu and was misunderstood."
Bai Jingqi lowered his head, his expression twisted. He liked Lin Can, but he wasn't so foolish as to believe everything Lin Can said. Lin Can's attitude towards him had clearly deteriorated during this period, and the way he looked at Cheng Ye was definitely not the way he would look at an ordinary person.
He probably didn't even know it, but there was a deep interest hidden in his eyes.
Bai Jingqi clenched his fists tightly. What virtue did Cheng Ye have? As soon as he appeared, Lei Xiu, who had always regarded him as the center of his life, fell in love with him immediately. Now even his fiancé was looking for him.
Thinking of how good Lei Xiu was to Cheng Ye, Bai Jingqi gritted his teeth unwillingly.
Cheng Ye must disappear.
Bai Jingqi pursed his lips and thought secretly: Fortunately, he and Lin Can have already started talking about marriage. It shouldn't be long before he can marry Lin Can.
While he was daydreaming, Lin Can also lowered his head, looking thoughtful.
He looked at Bai Jingqi's handsome face, and Cheng Ye's gorgeous face and innocent eyes kept appearing in his mind. They were completely different but unusually harmonious, and a different feeling appeared on Cheng Ye's face.
Lin Can had never seen such a beautiful yet young female, she was simply the best in the world.
Compared with him, Bai Jingqi is far inferior.
Lin Can turned his eyes away in disdain, feeling that Lei Xiu had previously been drawn to the bland type like Bai Jingqi. How could his taste change after not seeing him for a while? He must have been too embarrassed to admit his rejection, so he approached Cheng Ye to prove he wasn't unwanted.
Cheng Ye is beautiful but a fool. She was used by Lei Xiu and always claimed to be speaking for him.
Bai Jingqi saw resistance to himself in his eyes, his heart trembled, and a strong sense of crisis emerged from the depths of his heart.
He hurriedly came up to her and said, "Are you free tonight? We haven't had dinner together for a long time."
Although Bai Jingqi is not as attractive as Cheng Ye, she is still a sub-female after all. Besides, she came to the door on her own initiative, so it is better to have her than not.
Lin Can hid the emotion in his eyes, smiled evilly and pinched his chin: "Why, did you miss me?"
Bai Jingqi's cheeks immediately flushed, and she leaned bonelessly into his arms: "Then tell me, are you going or not~"
Every afternoon, Lei Xiu would come to pick up Cheng Ye from school, and at the school gate he would run into Lin Can who was blocking the way again.
"Lei Xiu." Lei Xiu was concentrating on looking at the school gate, and his brows furrowed when he heard the annoying voice.
"Third Prince, despite being busy with government affairs, you still have time to pick up Bai Jingqi from school. It seems that the two of them are really in love, almost catching up with me and Cheng Ye." Lei Xiu crossed his arms and looked at Lin Can indifferently, with a hint of cold sarcasm in his eyes.
He knew about that incident two days ago and asked Cheng Ye about it. Cheng Ye didn't want to cause trouble, so he hesitated and said nothing, but that doesn't mean it just let it go.
"I'm not here to pick up Bai Jingqi." Lin Can watched him show his affection, his eyes slowly narrowed, "I'm here to find Cheng Ye. A few days ago, I said I wanted to apologize on Bai Jingqi's behalf. I can't just say it."
Lei Xiu's face turned cold. "No need. Ye Zi doesn't care about insignificant things. Besides... he really doesn't want to see you. You know he's timid. You scared him the other day." After a pause, Lei Xiu tilted his head and sneered. "I didn't expect that after two years, your level hasn't improved. But Ye Zi is not Bai Jingqi. He likes me, not your sweet talk."
Lin Can is inferior to Lei Xiu in every aspect, but he is much more skillful in speaking than Lei Xiu. Moreover, he has more free time than Lei Xiu and is good at pursuing people. Therefore, Bai Jingqi, who yearns for romantic love, easily falls for Lin Can's suit pants.
To be honest, Lei Xiu was also nervous. It was said that females all liked romance, but he just didn't have much romantic talent. He was really afraid that Cheng Ye would be deceived by Lin Can.
So at this time, his words were very blunt and sharp, just to make Lin Can give up on his own.
When Lin Can heard what Lei Xiu said, he understood that he was not as lovable as Lei Xiu. His face turned red and he was also a little angry.
Lin Can narrowed his eyes. Cheng Ye stayed with Lei Xiu even when he had nothing and was even disabled. This showed that Cheng Ye was really a female who was worthy of being his other half.
Although he just wanted to play with Cheng Ye, he would be very proud if such a devoted person liked him.
When Lin Can thought that no matter what he did, there would always be someone waiting for him like a rock, gazing at his back affectionately, he felt that his vanity was greatly satisfied, and he wanted to show off that "heartwarming" scene to everyone.
However, Cheng Ye didn't take him seriously at all.
Lin Can subconsciously always felt that he was hundreds of times stronger than Lei Xiu. He could snatch Bai Jingqi away from Lei Xiu, and the same could be said for Cheng Ye.
"Third Prince, there's something I've wanted to say for a long time, but I've been holding it back for your sake. Now I can't bear it anymore. From childhood to adulthood, you've always taken my things, including people. Do you like me so much? Or do you have a hobby of collecting other people's things? Before it was Bai Jingqi, and now it's Cheng Ye. Please, stay away from Cheng Ye, okay? She's my fiancée, and you're always pestering her like this. I'm very distressed. Cheng Ye is different from Bai Jingqi. Cheng Ye is the love of my life..." Lei Xiu leaned forward, his voice suddenly getting heavier, "If you dare to touch a hair on his head, I will never let you go."
"I like him, it's my business, it has nothing to do with you." Lin Can frowned and didn't take his words seriously at all.
"He is mine. You said he has a shameless pursuer. Does it have anything to do with me?" Lei Xiu said with a gloomy face.
"Lei Xiu, do you dare to say that you really like Cheng Ye? What about Bai Jingqi? Don't you like him too? Or rather, you have always liked only Bai Jingqi. You brought Cheng Ye back just to use him to provoke Bai Jingqi!" Lin Can said coldly.
The logic was truly touching. Lei Xiu took a deep breath and looked at the person opposite him with a half-smile: "Lin Can, don't judge others by your own ideas. I'm really telling you, just wait and see. I will marry Cheng Ye. In this life, I will only love him and him. He also likes me and only loves me. If you are sensible, you will have some self-awareness and stay away from us. Do you hear me!"
"No, this is still fair competition!" Lin Can frowned.
Lei Xiu rolled his eyes and said, "Competition? Who would compete with you? Ye Zi has been mine for a long time. Is your brain full of mush? How come you can't understand what people are saying and can't reason with you? You are now a mistress. No, you are not even a mistress. You are just a perverted stalker."
Lin Can was stunned for a moment, then angrily said, "Lei Xiu, stop insulting me. You two haven't gotten married yet, Cheng Ye is free. I like him, so I have the right to pursue him!"
Lei Xiu laughed silently. He actually dared to say that he liked Cheng Ye. He had liked too many people since he was a child. He was really shameless.
"You really know how to tell a joke. You like Cheng Ye, but what about Bai Jingqi? Who is he?" Lei Xiu asked.
"They are different." Lin Canmei's heart moved, and he thought for a moment before answering.
Lei Xiu narrowed his eyes. Of course they were different. One was the person he was planning to marry, and the other was just someone he was playing with.
However, he would never allow Cheng Ye to suffer any injustice, nor would he allow anyone to covet Cheng Ye!
"Lei Xiu?" Cheng Ye's weak voice came from behind him. Lei Xiu turned around and saw Cheng Ye looking timidly in the direction of Lin Can, hiding not far away.
Lei Xiu went up to him and patted his head: "Okay, it's okay, I'm here, let's go back."
"Cheng Ye, do you have time tonight? I..."
Cheng Ye had a stern face, a little scared, and huddled behind Lei Xiu, patiently saying, "Your Highness the Third Prince, I'm truly sorry. I don't think I have anything to say to you. Could you please not come to me again in the future?"
Lin Can looked at Cheng Ye, his face turning pale and blue.
Lei Xiu chuckled and put his arm around Cheng Ye's shoulders. "Okay, Ye is right, Your Highness the Third Prince. We husband and wife have nothing to discuss with you before. If you have the time and energy to harass Ye, you might as well try to please Bai Jingqi. After all, he is your fiancé. Or maybe you think he is not as good as Cheng Ye, so you don't like him anymore. But you should also realize that since you have the right to pursue better, Ye certainly has the right to do so too. Between the two of us, I think Ye will undoubtedly choose me."
"Lei Xiu, are you afraid that Cheng Ye will fall in love with me like Bai Jingqi?" Lin Can suddenly asked.
Before Lei Xiu could say anything, Cheng Ye's eyes suddenly widened: "How is this possible! I love Lei Xiu, and I'm not even a friend to you! Why should he be afraid of you? He doesn't need to be!"
Lei Xiu laughed heartily. "Yeah, Lin Can, you think too highly of yourself. I just don't want you to harass my fiancé. Look, Bai Jingqi is unhappy. I'm afraid the Third Prince will be busy. Ye Zi, let's go!"
After saying that, Lei Xiu put his arm around Cheng Ye's shoulder, turned around and got into the car. During this time, Cheng Ye didn't even glance at Lin Can.
An unmarried partner? Since you’re unmarried, then why not just not get married! Lin Can looked at the rear end of the star car as it sped away, his eyes filled with gloom.
Bai Jingqi, who was standing behind Lin Can and was reminded but still received no attention, clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of shock and disbelief!
Cheng Ye! It's all you! Originally, Lei Xiu and Lin Can both liked him, and they were fighting for him!
But now——
Cheng Ye, sooner or later, I will make you pay the price!
And Lei Xiu and Lin Can, sooner or later, you will know that I, Bai Jingqi, am the right person for you to protect even at the cost of your life!
When Cheng Ye received Bai Jingqi's electrocardiogram, he felt like he was watching a stupid idol drama. He staggered and was supported by Lei Xiu.
Lei Xiu was worried and helpless, and knocked him on the forehead: "What's wrong? You can't even walk seriously!"
Cheng Ye smiled innocently: "I suddenly thought of something very funny, so I couldn't help it!"
Lei Xiu lowered his head and kissed the tip of his nose gently: "Is there me?"
Cheng Ye was stunned and didn't understand what he meant.
Lei Xiu grabbed his hand and squeezed it. "I hope that whenever you think of something that makes you smile, I'm in it. Ye Zi, I really... love you so much. You won't leave me, right? Ye Zi, promise me, don't leave me. I love you!"
Lei Xiu's chin rested on his shoulder, and his nose rubbed against the fragile blood vessels in his neck. Cheng Ye trembled again and again, but his eyes were moving. After a while, he hummed softly.
Lei Xiu suddenly laughed out loud as if he had received a marriage certificate recognized by the Jade Emperor.
Cheng Ye wanted to see his face, but Lei Xiu held him tightly, so he could only hear his intermittent laughter like a fool, which also made him laugh.
The two stood in front of the car and hugged each other tightly.
Lei Xiu whispered, "Ye Zi, I love you so much."
Perhaps his voice was too soft, or was drowned out by the laughter of the two people. Cheng Ye seemed not to hear him and did not answer him.
But suddenly a pair of eyes flashed through my mind, sharp and affectionate.
Very familiar.
It was like the look Lei Xiu gave him, but also like—Yang Sheng?!
