Lei Xiu has been pursuing Bai Jingqi for at least five, six, seven or eight years, if not ten years.
Although we met only a few times, he always gave in to my requests and was always kind and gentle. Even when he rejected me repeatedly, he never said a harsh word.
Now - the disgust between her eyebrows and eyes can hardly be concealed, as if she not only doesn't want to see him, but even treats him as trash and wants to avoid him from afar.
Bai Jingqi was stung by Lei Xiu's attitude. He looked at Lei Xiu with misty eyes, biting his lip and said shyly, "Brother Lei Xiu, where have you been all these years? I'm really worried about you."
"Really? Then why didn't you come to me? I heard that you are about to get engaged to the third prince? It's progressing quite fast." Lei Xiu smiled sarcastically. Why didn't he notice that Bai Jingqi was so pretentious before? Maybe it was because he was too involved in the matter, or maybe there was no comparison.
Now he likes Cheng Ye, and thinks no one can compare to a finger of Cheng Ye.
What's more, Bai Jingqi is such a greedy person who always wants more while having his cake and eating it too. He is not qualified to be compared with Cheng Ye.
Bai Jingqi's face turned pale, and he immediately realized that Lei Xiu still hated him.
But if you want to hold a grudge, you must first remember it.
Bai Jingqi let out a breath of relief without leaving any trace, and put on her childish expression again. She rubbed Lei Xiu's arm and whispered, "They are just making it up. We didn't do it."
"It doesn't matter whether it happened or not, Bai Jingqi. I did like you before, but it's all in the past now. You have the third prince, and I also have someone I like. By the way, his name is Cheng Ye." Lei Xiu kept glancing at Cheng Ye's face while speaking. He didn't know how to be honest about his past, so he might as well just blurt it out now to avoid making things more confusing by explaining.
"!" What does it have to do with me? Cheng Ye, who was watching the show intently, was suddenly called out. He was startled and looked at Lei Xiu in panic. He waved his hands repeatedly, but Lei Xiu grabbed his hand tightly and kissed it on his lips.
He was stunned for a moment, his ears turned red with embarrassment, he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, and finally he simply lowered his head and refused to face it.
Bai Jingqi looked Cheng Ye up and down and had a general understanding of him.
He's just a small fry who's not even worth a seat at the table. Brother Lei Xiu is really - entertaining.
Even if you want to stimulate yourself, you should find someone who is capable.
He stared at Cheng Ye, not even looking at her face. What kind of person could someone from a small town look like? How could someone like that be worthy of making him jealous?!
Bai Jingqi sighed softly, staring at Lei Xiu and speaking earnestly, "I've heard everything, Brother Lei Xiu. He saved you, right? But feelings aren't something you can trade. If you don't like him, you can thank him in other ways, like giving him money or resources. This... friend of yours doesn't seem to meet your standards for a partner. Brother Lei Xiu, you deserve someone better. Don't give up on yourself just because I rejected you or because your eyesight deteriorated after your injury."
Lei Xiu's face darkened. Bai Jingqi was really good at talking. Was he a worm in his stomach? Could he know what he was thinking?
Seeing Cheng Ye's body trembling, it was obvious that he had heard all these words. He was furious and his tone became gloomy: "What nonsense! I like him much more maturely than when I liked you. Back then, we were both young and you were the only female around. I didn't have the conditions to like someone else. I went out and found that Cheng Ye was the most suitable for me. I will marry him in this life. Don't let me hear you spread rumors again next time, or I will be rude to you!"
Bai Jingqi was scolded and looked at Lei Xiu in surprise, feeling aggrieved and angry. He said angrily, "He's just from a barren planet. He must have thought you were worth a lot to come back with you. Brother Lei Xiu, don't be fooled by him. Those scammers you fought before were all pretending to be weak. In fact, they have seen more people than us!"
Lei Xiu was completely enraged. He shouted angrily, "Bai Jingqi, you've slandered my future partner time and again. Don't you think I'm serious?"
Bai Jingqi's face stiffened for a moment, then he forced a smile: "It seems that Brother Lei Xiu really likes him. Then I... wish you all the best!"
Ignoring his gnashing of teeth, Lei Xiu narrowed his eyes: "We will be happy without your blessing!" After that, he didn't care about Bai Jingqi, he pulled Cheng Ye away, and the veins on his forehead bulged with anger.
There was a sound of a star car stopping behind him. Lei Xiu wanted to leave without caring about it, but then he heard Lin Can calling him, and then he greeted Bai Jingqi: "Jingqi, why are you here? I was looking for you everywhere. I said I came to see Lei Xiu."
Lei Xiu had no choice but to stop and greet the other party.
Bai Jingqi's expression was originally very grim, but the moment he saw Lin Can, he softened a lot. He smiled apologetically at Lin Can and said, "As soon as I heard the news that Brother Lei Xiu had returned, I wanted to make sure he was safe, so I ran here first."
Lei Xiu rolled his eyes. Lin Can had been jealous of him since he was a child because his qualifications were not as good as his. He wanted to have everything he had, and if there was only one copy, he would do everything he could to take it away from him.
Including Bai Jingqi.
Bai Jingqi chose him instead of himself, which made Lin Can very proud for a while. He openly and secretly belittled himself and said that he was not as good as Bai Jingqi. But even if he said so, he was afraid that he could not find any aspects in which he was inferior to Bai Jingqi.
After Bai Jingqi finished speaking, he ran towards Lin Can, and Lin Can put his arm around his shoulders and smiled provocatively at Lei Xiu.
If it was before, Lei Xiu might still be angry, but now——
Lei Xiu said goodbye to the two of them expressionlessly, and took Cheng Ye with him towards his own house with its own entrance and courtyard.
Lin Can raised his eyebrows in surprise that he didn't accept the provocation. Just as he was wondering, he saw the person next to him. He was stunned and asked, "Who is next to Lei Xiu? Why haven't I seen him before?"
Bai Jingqi was feeling down because Cheng Ye had been upset by Lei Xiu. He complained to Lin Can, "He's just a bumpkin from a barren planet, a liar who's trying to repay a favor."
Cheng Ye turned around and happened to meet Lin Can's scrutinizing gaze. His eyes twitched, and he smiled embarrassedly. He quickly turned his head away and held Lei Xiu's hand tightly, fearing that he would be left behind.
The two people behind him don't seem to be easy to get along with. It seems that the gap between the Central Planet and the Stone Mining Planet is not only in wealth, but also in the gap between people.
Although she was dressed very simply, her bright little face was like a branch of winter plum blossom, standing proudly. Lin Can's heart suddenly began beating rapidly.
I remember a saying a long time ago: A smile can bring out all the charms.
Lin Can always thought it was an exaggeration, but he didn't expect that he just hadn't seen a truly charming person.
He hugged Bai Jingqi, but his mind was full of Cheng Ye's timid smile just now. He felt like there was a kitten in his heart, and he was very upset.
Compared with this person, Bai Jingqi seemed like a second-rate person.
Lin Can was secretly calculating in his heart that he wanted to get this person, and it had nothing to do with Lei Xiu.
It was because he found that he was deeply attracted to this person.
"Da Ye Zi, it seems that the prince has taken a fancy to you?" 666 checked the prince's heart rate and said uncertainly.
Cheng Ye was surprised: "Ah? You mentally disturbed him? 6, I didn't expect that you have become much smarter after hanging out with me for such a long time. I was thinking that this contact time was too short and I didn't know when we would meet again, and you've already mastered it?"
666 wasn't very happy about the compliment and said gloomily, "It's not me."
Cheng Ye: “?”
As expected of Big Leaf, her charm is indeed boundless. 666 was full of praise: "It was your smile just now that captured his heart. Lin Can must have fallen in love with you at first sight."
Cheng Ye: "..." After a while, he sighed, "She's worthy of being the villain's favorite face of a slutty bitch. I always catch her!"
666: “…” No, I like it too. I’m not a villain!
Ever since Lei Xiu came back, he has been very busy, but unlike the information that he never goes back to the Lei family, he still comes back to sleep at night.
Lei Xiu built a laboratory for Cheng Ye in the basement, which was fully equipped with high-end equipment. Cheng Ye was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. He looked at Lei Xiu in disbelief.
After arriving at the central planet, Lei Xiu equipped him with a light computer. Occasionally, when he had nothing to do, he would go online. He only knew about potions, so naturally he browsed projects related to potions.
He had seen these instruments on Starnet. They were said to be very expensive and only top pharmacists could own them. Cheng Ye looked at the test tubes that were almost "glittering with gold" and didn't dare to take them at all.
Lei Xiu frowned and wanted to say that it didn't cost much, but he was afraid that Cheng Ye would be concerned about the gap between them and would not want to get along with him, but he couldn't say it directly. Yes, it was not only very expensive, but also out of stock.
Lei Xiu was in a dilemma and could only pull Cheng Ye's hand: "As long as it is what you need, I will do everything possible to get it for you."
It was rare for Cheng Ye to be so obedient as to be held by him, and she thought to herself: Ever since returning to the central planet, without Bri's interference, this guy has been in a really good mood. Maybe he is so busy because he went to attend the love talk training class?
He lowered his head slightly, and for the first time did not refuse directly. Instead, he hesitated, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
In fact, Lei Xiu always felt that when Cheng Ye was alone and didn't talk, he always had a cold temperament. When he was on the Stone Mine Star, he once secretly followed Cheng Ye. He was sitting alone on a tree stump at the edge of the Warcraft Forest, doing nothing but staring blankly.
At that time, Cheng Ye seemed to have completely merged into the forest, like a cold orchid, noble and cold, making people unable to help but indulge in it, and even pay any price just to go forward and explore it.
And now the silent Cheng Ye also has a magical charm, which makes Lei Xiu even feel that these instruments are not worthy of this person at all.
Lei Xiu seemed to have foreseen something and suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. He did not dare to urge him, for fear of interfering with his answer.
He looked at Cheng Ye with longing, and Cheng Ye glanced at Lei Xiu. Unable to bear the burning gaze, he finally gently grasped his wrist and said, "I may not be worthy of your treatment."
"It's worth it, why not?" Lei Xiu's mind was like fireworks exploding, and a warm smile immediately spread across his face. He threw his arm around Cheng Ye's shoulders in surprise, pressing her head against his chest, and excitedly said, "You're the only one in my life. Nothing I can do for you is enough. Ye Zi, if you just look at me, I'd buy the entire planet for you."
Cheng Ye: “…” Look at what you can do.
Cheng Ye was stunned for a moment, her face flushed red, and she carefully tried to pull back the hand that was placed on her mouth, but Lei Xiu was too strong, and in the end he interlocked his fingers with hers.
After the two of them expressed their feelings to each other, the moment they crossed their hands, Lei Xiu felt as if he saw a rainbow.
His major life event was finally resolved and the backyard was settled, so he had time to think about the changes in the front yard. Otherwise, even if he punched in at work on time every day, his mind would always be on Cheng Ye.
Because he was afraid that the other party would sneak away while he was away.
Although the Lei family was heavily guarded, he did not receive a response from Cheng Ye all day. Once Cheng Ye was out of his sight, he felt empty in his heart and could not calm down, let alone deal with things.
So don’t think that he is busy these two days, he is just busy for no reason and is not efficient at all!
But then—
Lei Xiu held Cheng Ye in his arms with tenderness on his face, not noticing Cheng Ye's resistance. The other party even rubbed against his arms obediently like a kitten.
Lei Xiu was ecstatic. He felt as if he had embraced the missing part of his heart. The whole world was complete. There was no more uneasiness in his heart, but instead happiness and excitement!
Almost cried!
After the two confirmed their relationship, Cheng Ye immediately went to the Star Network to check the potion containers that Lei Xiu had given him. After just looking at a few items, he found that the total amount exceeded five million credit points.
You have to know that Cheng Ye’s spending on the Stone Mine Star is only a few hundred thousand. His face twitched, he was really distressed, and even the corners of his eyes and eyebrows revealed bitterness.
Lei Xiu, who couldn't hug him enough, consoled him, "It's okay. I can earn more credit points. As long as you're happy." He leaned over and suddenly said, "Hey, what is this? Why didn't I notice it when I bought it?"
Before Cheng Ye could say anything, Lei Xiu had already quickly placed the order and paid the bill. He looked at the page showing that the order had been completed, and in that second, another 550,000 credit points were spent.
Cheng Ye: “…” He looked at Lei Xiu with a resentful look on his face.
Lei Xiu was very pleased with his gaze and leaned over to kiss his eyelids. "Let's go up. Interstellar Express is very fast, and it will probably be delivered soon. I also bought some medicinal herbs for you, and it's almost time."
Cheng Ye: "..." He didn't know what to say anymore. His face was stern because he was so shocked that he couldn't make any expression.
After all the things arrived, Cheng Ye took the herbs and utensils and returned to the basement.
Looking at the high-end equipment, Cheng Ye took a deep breath, carefully refined several expensive herbs that were relatively good value for money into liquid, and carefully prepared the medicine with tweezers.
I don’t know if it was because of the change of environment or because I was not very familiar with the utensils, but due to an oversight, the first attempt failed.
Staring at the sediment in the test tube, Cheng Ye hung his head, looking a little listless.
If the medicine is successful, it will show a crystal clear color, but now, the tube of reagent in his hand has a lot of flocs. This shows that his previous actions were quite wrong, causing the whole thing to be ruined and there is no way to remedy it.
Lei Xiu immediately went forward and said, "It's okay. You'll get used to it after practicing more." He servilely picked out another portion of the herbs that Cheng Ye had just used, put them on the table, and nodded at Cheng Ye, indicating that he could start.
Cheng Ye pursed her lips and met his encouraging eyes.
With the experience of failure the first time, Cheng Ye was particularly careful the second time. He finally found the feeling and successfully prepared a tube of transparent blue third-level noise reduction agent.
Although it was only of low quality, Cheng Ye recalled his previous operations and felt that he had gotten the hang of it. The next time should be of medium quality. As for high quality, it all depends on luck.
Lei Xiu was even happier than him and immediately gave him a warm hug: "I knew you could do it."
Cheng Ye was at a loss as to what to do and whispered, "This is for noise reduction. Do you... want to try it?" Orcs can absorb the energy from the flesh of monsters, but that energy contains impurities. Excessive absorption can easily clog blood vessels, which is not conducive to leveling up.
This medicine can soften the impurities that are stagnant on the blood vessel walls and accelerate the excretion of dirt. It is very popular on the market.
But Cheng Ye was a novice after all. He felt a little regretful after he said it and quickly withdrew his hand: "Forget it, let's take it for inspection first. I, I'm not very sure..."
Just as he was saying this, his hands were empty and the potion had fallen into Lei Xiu's hands. He glanced at Cheng Ye with a smile and immediately poured the entire potion into his mouth. He even shook it a little to avoid wasting a single drop. He smacked his lips and said, "It's sour and sweet, and tastes really good, a bit like fruit wine."
"Ah!" Cheng Ye exclaimed. Seeing that he didn't seem to react, she quickly grabbed his hand and said, "Do you feel anything? Why did you drink it? What if something goes wrong?"
"I'm willing to test the medicine for my wife!" Lei Xiu blinked his eyes and uttered sweet words without asking for anything in return.
Cheng Ye glanced at Lei Xiu in embarrassment and annoyance: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Lei Xiu came up to Cheng Ye and kissed the corner of his mouth: "Very good, I just circulated it and found that the energy in my body is indeed much purer than before. Your potion is much better than those on the market. If you didn't say it, I would have thought it was a mid-grade product."
Hearing him say this, Cheng Ye finally put his mind at ease and smiled sheepishly: "Yes, really? As long as it's useful!"
Lei Xiu kept rubbing his hands together. "It works! How could it not work? Ye Zi, please help me prepare potions from now on. Do you want to be my personal pharmacist?"
Cheng Ye was a little tempted and licked the corner of his mouth: "But I'm still a novice, and I haven't learned it systematically. I don't know how to make many potions!"
Lei Xiu disagreed. "You can already prepare a third-grade mid-grade potion without even learning it. What would happen if you really did learn it? But..." He touched his chin. "You really should learn it. There's a lot of theoretical knowledge involved in potions. How about this? I'll help you find a school. Ye Zi, why don't you go?"
In this way, Ye Zi won't be bored at home when I'm at work, and she won't have random thoughts all day long and run around everywhere without being able to come back.
Lei Xiu's abacus clanged loudly, and Cheng Ye's eyes widened as he asked excitedly, "Can I really go to school?"
Lei Xiu nodded: "Of course, and we Ye Zi deserve the best school!"
Lei Xiu found the Central Planet Royal Academy for Cheng Ye. Those who could enter this academy were the outstanding children of major families. Lei Xiu also graduated from this school.
Lei Xiu was a little excited when he thought that Cheng Ye would become his junior.
Cheng Ye frowned: "This school is not easy to get into."
Lei Xiu nodded and explained, "But school is about to start. With your ability to prepare potions, you will definitely be able to enter the key class."
Cheng Ye rubbed his nose: "You have too much confidence in me."
Lei Xiu's eyes flickered. "If I don't trust you, who else can I trust? Besides, my wife's qualifications are second to none."
Cheng Ye blinked and asked in a low voice, "I heard that you..." He paused and changed the address and said, "Mr. Bai is very good at making potions. He is a genius."
Lei Xiu rolled his eyes. "I guess so, but his family has also provided him with a lot of resources since he was a child." He thought for a moment and said with a smile, "You just don't have the resources. You have too little practice and lack the relevant knowledge. If you had Bai Jingqi's resources, you would have already become a top pharmacist. Ye Zi, your posture is very good. As long as you work hard, you will definitely reach the top!"
Being able to concoct a third-level potion by self-study, and being only eighteen years old, Ye Zi is completely comparable to the children of the big families on the Central Planet.
The leaves have much more potential than them.
Before, I thought Ye Zi might not want to stay, but now Lei Xiu is worried that if Ye Zi stays, his talent for making potions will soon be discovered. Will he still be willing to stay by his side and be his personal pharmacist, making potions only for him?
Lei Shao, who has always been confident and conceited, rarely feels inferior.
Cheng Ye smiled awkwardly: "How is that possible."
Lei Xiu looked at Cheng Ye's somewhat gloomy face and suddenly became more excited: "Ye Zi, are you jealous?"
"Where, where is that?!" Cheng Ye turned around quickly, not daring to look at Lei Xiu again.
Lei Xiu couldn't get enough of the blush on his face. He had to grab his shoulders and admire it carefully. Cheng Ye was almost embarrassed by what he saw. Then he bit the tip of his red and hot ear and whispered, "I'm very happy, Ye Zi. If you're jealous, it means you like me too."
He hugged Cheng Ye and babbled, "You don't know, I've always felt insecure. I was the one who forced you to pursue me. It was like I was coercing you, and you just passively agreed. You didn't even say you liked me... Ye Zi, I'm scared. I'm scared that one day I'll come back and be told that you're gone. Ye Zi, I love you, don't leave me."
Cheng Ye's body stiffened, hesitating for a moment, then looked down at Lei Xiu who was leaning on his chest: "If I didn't like you, I wouldn't stay."
Although this place was large and luxurious, and he was dazzled by things that others considered insignificant, it wasn't his home after all. As a Level 2 pharmacist, he was considered a powerful figure in this remote area. Once he returned, he could rule the world. Although the resources on the Mineral Planet were scarce, it was precisely because of this that he was rare and precious. He had no ambition to make progress, so being a top dog was fine.
But on the central planet, there are so many experts that anyone you pick up on the street could be a second-level pharmacist. He is as small as a dim star in the sky and no one cares about him.
Lei Xiu's eyes widened in disbelief: "Really? You also... like me?"
Cheng Ye hesitated for a moment, but finally pursed her lips and nodded.
Lei Xiu happily picked up Cheng Ye, and with such force that he almost threw him out. He quickly tightened his arms and smiled sullenly.
He was so happy that a gentle smile unconsciously appeared in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. He was definitely not the same person as the violent Lei Shao during the day who would throw documents in other people's faces if they disagreed with him!
Although he said so, Lei Xiu was still a little worried and even thought about this problem while working during the day.
Looking at the assistant who came in to report on his work, Lei Xiu asked, "Is it easy to pass the exam to become a pharmacist at the Royal Academy?"
The assistant was stunned. He only knew that there was a pharmacist named Bai Jingqi by Lei Shao's side, and had never heard of anyone else. But Bai Shao had been in school for three years. Could it be that Lei Shao only remembered to reward him and give him a school gift now?
The secretary hesitated for a moment and said, "It's very difficult. Not only does it require a written test, but you also have to prepare the medicine on the spot. The accuracy rate of the written test must be over 90%. The medicines used in the on-site test are all second-level medicines. Even if they are of low quality, you will be considered a pass."
Lei Xiu was surprised. "Is it that difficult?" His already anxious heart was in turmoil. He thought for a moment and said, "Go find the actual entrance exam papers for the pharmacy program from the past three years, no, the past five years, as well as the predicted papers. Buy them all, no matter which master predicted them. Don't miss a single one."
He was very confident in Cheng Ye's ability to prepare medicines, but if he was tested on theory, he might be at a disadvantage.
But sharpening your sword at the last minute will not help, so you can only try to cram at the last minute.
The secretary looked at Lei Xiu in surprise. He had never thought that one of Lei Xiu's relatives was a pharmacist. However, he was only curious for a moment and nodded to indicate that he understood.
In the evening, Lei Xiu walked into Cheng Ye's room and found him sitting at the table with his chin in his hands, in a daze, looking at a textbook about potions in front of him.
Lei Xiu didn't interrupt him. He just couldn't help but stare at Cheng Ye again and again. His gaze was too intense. Cheng Ye quickly looked over at him, and two blushes appeared on his fair cheeks. "Why are you staring at me?"
Lei Xiu: "There are flowers."
Cheng Ye: “…” If you say that, I’m speechless.
Lei Xiu smiled, turned on his optical computer, and transferred a large file to him. Cheng Ye looked at the huge capacity and asked curiously, "What is it?"
Lei Xiu looked at Cheng Ye with some pity and said, "There is still more than a month before the Royal Academy starts. I found some reference materials. You can try to do it. It's a bit too much." It was a lot, after all, the transmission had not been completed yet.
I don’t know if I can finish reading it in more than a month, let alone remember it.
Moreover, if Ye Zi wanted to read all of this, there would be no other world to accompany her. Lei Xiu almost withheld the information before he came, but when he thought that this was related to Ye Zi's dream, he hesitated again and again, and finally took it out with gritted teeth.
only--
The speed of the Star Network is much faster than computer transmission on Earth. Even so, it takes more than half an hour to completely transmit such a large file. I don’t know if it contains tens of thousands of test questions.
Cheng Ye, who owns the cheating artifact 666, stared at the loading bar and said "FUCK".
He didn't know whether to pretend to be happy or distressed, and was stunned for a moment.
Lei Xiu found the test questions for himself, so he should be happy, but the ocean of knowledge is too vast, and one can drown in it if one is not careful.
Lei Xiu thought he was frightened and pinched his cheeks: "It's okay, just take a look, you must be..." He wanted to say that with Ye Zi's intelligence, there must be no problem, but he was afraid of putting unnecessary pressure on Ye Zi, so he swallowed it back and said, "Just take a test."
Cheng Ye's smile was very bitter. He pursed his lips and said, "Can I get into the school just by taking a test?"
Of course... that's impossible. No matter how powerful the Lei family is, their "thighs" can't reach the Royal Academy. Lei Xiu looked at Cheng Ye helplessly and said, "I can find a tutor for you."
Cheng Ye: “Oh.” It turns out he’s not that capable!
