Chapter 104
Gu Yan stood there as stiffly as a stone statue.
The words he had just heard were still echoing in his ears, "fiancé" and "childhood engagement". These words were like powerful bombs, exploding in his mind.
He even began to doubt his ears. Is this still Chinese? Or was he just having a fight with Mu Bai and was too emotional, causing him to hear hallucinations?
In this era, getting engaged in college is not uncommon, but it is definitely rare. But now, these plots that originally only existed in TV dramas and novels are actually happening in front of me, happening to my roommate Ye Wangxing.
Ye Wangxing already has a fiancé, but she can still send loving fried eggs to her childhood sweetheart as if nothing had happened?
Gu Yan's eyes widened, and his originally clear mind was now completely mired in confusion. He could not even think about finding out where Ye Wangxing cooked the meal. He was completely dizzy from the sudden heavy news, as if his soul had been shaken out of his body.
He subconsciously turned his gaze towards the young man in front of him who had a natural look on his face, as if he had no idea how shocking his words were.
As a roommate, Gu Yan didn't communicate much with Ye Wangxing on a daily basis because of his status as a rich second-generation and the fact that he started dating Mu Bai as soon as he entered the school.
But he still knew a little about Ye Wangxing's basic situation. After all, there was such a "big golden retriever" in his dormitory who made everyone like him more. As roommates, they could also benefit from it and enjoy some small preferential treatment at certain times.
However, he is not very popular. If they were not Ye Wangxing's roommates, they would not even know that Ye Wangxing is so popular in school.
After all, there is the campus idol Gu Yan in the dormitory, and the other people’s edge has been more or less overshadowed.
Fortunately, although Gu Yan has a bit of a spoiled brat temperament, he is generous and not the overbearing type, so he gets along well with the people in the dormitory.
——And this “OK” is also the reason why Gu Yan is still shocked.
He knows what kind of person Ye Wangxing is!
Ye Wangxing was actually a student in the computer science department. His grades were not top-notch, but average, but he was surprisingly popular. Both boys and girls seemed to like getting along with him.
Gu Yan had seen Ye Wangxing in the cafeteria several times when he went to get food, and the cafeteria lady stuffed him with a full plate of food. Combined with his slim figure due to the clothes he wore, he looked like a college student who went home for the New Year and wished he could gain weight by being fed by his elders all day.
But it's strange that the young man just smiled at people most of the time and didn't speak in a flattering way. At most, what he said made people feel sincere, but his popularity was better than those classmates who were good at dealing with people.
And it's not that he's popular because he likes to be in the limelight, but that when people see him, they will give him some favors as long as it doesn't affect them.
But later Gu Yan figured it out and thought it might be because of the boy's appearance.
Ye Wangxing's appearance is indeed very pleasing. His facial features are not stunning, but when combined together, they have a unique charm. The slightly drooping corners of his eyes always make him look innocent and gentle, while his plump lips add a touch of sexiness to him.
Coupled with his beautiful muscle lines, which are neither exaggerated nor powerful, and he looks thin even when he's dressed, he looks like the kind of boy next door who has average academic performance, is in great need of help but isn't annoying. This precisely hits the mark of most people's psychology.
Gu Yan even found some discussions about Ye Wangxing in the corners of the campus forum. Those people were absolutely convinced that Ye Wangxing probably hasn't even given up his first love yet.
But now - Gu Yan once again couldn't help but look at the handsome young man from head to toe.
This roommate who looks harmless, sunny and cheerful on weekdays actually casually said words like "fiancé" and "childhood engagement"?
And from what I hear, these two people are not the same person???
Gu Yan felt that he might need to calm down.
——At least he had to accept the fact that these two people were indeed not the same person.
Just when Gu Yan was finding it hard to accept it, the handsome young man standing in front of the desk had already packed his two lunch boxes and wrote two sticky notes - also in the shape of a heart.
He wrote different words with a fountain pen and pasted them on the two lunch boxes.
Judging from his appearance, he came back to the dormitory just to get these two sticky notes.
Ye Wangxing's action finally brought Gu Yan back to his senses. He subconsciously wanted to see what was written on the two sticky notes, but the handsome young man had already put the lunch box away.
Gu Yan finally came to his senses, thinking back on his behavior, and almost slapped himself. Then he whispered to Ye Wangxing.
"No, Lao Si, are you kidding me? I don't know where you got these two lunch boxes. Are you planning to make trouble for me?"
Gu Yan still couldn't believe it, but Ye Wangxing just looked at him in confusion and said.
"Why would I mess with you? Besides, I made this meal in a senior's off-campus apartment. I also borrowed his kitchen. I'm so embarrassed. I even left a portion for him."
Only then did Gu Yan truly realize that Ye Wangxing was not trying to trick him, and that everything he said was serious.
——Including the childhood sweetheart and the fiancé!
Gu Yan sat down on the chair in front of his desk, looking at Ye Wangxing, not knowing what to say for a moment. He really wanted to ask Ye Wangxing how he could say "playing both sides" so easily and naturally?
But in the end he opened and closed his mouth several times before he managed to utter a sentence.
"...It's not good for your childhood sweetheart to do this, right? After all, you already have a fiancé, and you're still messing with him."
The handsome young man who was about to leave heard Gu Yan's words, looked at him and said with a puzzled look on his face.
"No, his family will keep it from him."
Gu Yan: ...
He now began to wonder if he had traveled to a parallel universe.
Do you city people play such a big game?
Fortunately, Ye Wangxing still gave him a normal explanation.
——A seemingly normal explanation.
"…They were both boys at first, but they played well together when they were young, so the family just casually mentioned it and arranged a childhood engagement and fiancé."
The handsome young man looked a little embarrassed as he spoke.
"But later, something happened to their family, and we could only use this identity to take care of them. In the end, we supported them to go abroad. Now they are back, but when they call me, they still call me my childhood sweetheart and my fiancé, but..."
There was a layer of sadness on Ye Wangxing's face, just like a big dog who was worried that he only had one head and could not let anyone touch it.
"They seem to take what happened back then seriously, plus the psychological trauma caused by what happened back then...Now everyone in the family is trying to comfort them, so of course I won't spoil it."
After hearing this explanation, Gu Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's fine, as long as you're not deliberately playing two-timing and you like both of them."
Gu Yan said as he looked at Ye Wangxing, but...
Gu Yan watched the handsome young man turn his eyes away guiltily.
Looking at Gu Yan's expression of disbelief, the handsome young man said embarrassedly.
"…They are so handsome, and they are really cute. I always want to take care of them."
Although he said so, the young man still awkwardly changed the subject.
"Ahem, let's not talk about me anymore. What happened to you? Did you have a fight with Mu Bai?"
Although Gu Yan was still a little shocked, he was his friend after all, so he finally shut up.
After hearing Ye Wangxing's words, the irritation in his heart suddenly surged up.
He was still struggling with Ye Wangxing's explosive remarks about "fiancé" and "childhood engagement", but at this moment he seemed to have found an outlet and couldn't help but start pouring out his grievances.
He frowned, with a hint of impatience in his tone: "Fighting? Ha, he's just being unreasonable."
Ye Wangxing raised his eyebrows, seeming a little surprised by Gu Yan's reaction, but still asked patiently: "Oh? How do you mean?"
Gu Yan snorted coldly, with a bit of disdain in his tone: "I get up early every day to buy him breakfast. Isn't that thoughtful enough? But he actually got angry with me because of a coriander bun! Tell me, is such a small thing worth getting angry about?"
As he spoke, his tone gradually became stronger, as if he was stating his point of view at the negotiation table: "I, Gu Yan, have never cared so much about anyone since I was a child. But he not only doesn't appreciate it, but also says that I ignore his feelings? It's ridiculous!"
"I remember what he said. He wanted a special breakfast. Aren't coriander buns special enough? Even if I forgot that he doesn't eat coriander, there are so many things he needs to remember. How can anyone memorize them all?"
The more Gu Yan spoke, the more confident he became.
Ye Wangxing listened, his mouth twitched slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. He blinked and said in a gentle tone: "Well... So, you think he shouldn't be angry?"
"Of course not!" Gu Yan replied without hesitation, with a hint of unquestionable confidence in his tone, "I have done so much for him, shouldn't he be grateful? Besides, it's just a coriander bun, I won't buy it next time, why make a fuss about it?"
The corners of Ye Wangxing's mouth gradually stiffened, but he still maintained a polite smile and did not interrupt Gu Yan. A trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, as if he felt that Gu Yan's complaints were a bit... hypocritical. However, he did not say it out loud, but just nodded slightly to show that he was listening.
Gu Yan didn't notice the change in Ye Wangxing's expression at all, and continued to talk nonstop: "He also said that I always ignore his feelings! Oh, doesn't he know how precious my time is? I can take time out to accompany him, which is already a great honor for him, but he is still not satisfied?"
Ye Wangxing took a deep breath, trying to make his expression look less stiff. He raised his hand, gently patted Gu Yan's shoulder, and comforted him in a gentle tone: "You like him, couples are bound to have some bumps and bruises. It's just a small matter, don't take it too seriously."
Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything. He just thought for a while.
Seeing that Gu Yan's emotions had calmed down a little, Ye Wangxing picked up the lunch box and waved at him: "I'm leaving first, they are still waiting for me!"
After he finished speaking, he quickened his pace significantly, anxious to escape from this "emotional counseling scene".
When Li Qing returned to the dormitory, this was the scene he saw.
Gu Yan, the school idol, was sitting in his seat with a confused look on his face, while the invisible uncle in their dormitory was leaving with two lunch boxes. When he saw him coming, he smiled and nodded at him.
Li Qing naturally would not block Ye Wangxing's way - this man was a genius who could get them more meat and vegetables in the cafeteria.
"Old Four, where are you going? There is a lecture this afternoon. If you don't go, you will lose credits."
However, serious matters still need to be notified.
"Ah, I know, don't worry, I will definitely be back before the lecture. I'll go deliver the food first."
Ye Wangxing said this with some anxiety on his handsome face. Li Qing naturally didn't stop him from asking questions. He smiled and waved his hand.
"Old Four, do you have someone you like? Go quickly, go quickly."
Li Qing said with a chuckle, and the handsome young man standing at the door gave him a grateful look, then left with his lunch box.
It was not until Ye Wangxing left that Li Qing looked at Gu Yan, who was still lying in front of the chair with a confused look on his face, and asked.
"What's wrong? What happened to the third brother? Why do you look like that? Did you quarrel with Mu Bai again?"
Li Qing said with an expression that said I knew it.
If it were last year, he would have gone up to ask what happened, but this year he has learned his lesson. After all, they have been dating for almost a year, and they have almost figured out the pattern of their quarrels.
Either Gu Yan didn't remember Mu Bai's preferences, or Mu Bai felt insecure because of Gu Yan's behavior and did something.
If it were just that it would be fine, but every time Gu Yan and Mu Bai had a fight, they tried to persuade both sides for a long time, and even had the idea of breaking them up, but they got back together early the next morning. Instead, they were glared at by the two of them for trying to persuade them.
Just thinking about it made Li Qing's blood pressure rise.
As expected, Gu Yan nodded in front of Li Qing.
Li Qing walked to his seat with an I-knew-this-all expression on his face, turned on his computer, and was about to ask his friends to log in when he heard Gu Yan slowly utter a sentence.
"I had a quarrel with Mu Bai this morning, and Lao Si advised me that it is normal for couples to have some conflicts."
Li Qing nodded, not taking it to heart. After all, this was how they had persuaded Gu Yan before.
——Then he heard Gu Yan drop a bomb.
"I also think he's right. After all, Lao Si should have more experience in coaxing people than I do..."
Upon hearing this, Li Qing casually said, "How come the fourth brother has more experience than you? He has a boyfriend who is even more clingy than Mu Bai?"
Then Li Qing heard Gu Yan say quietly.
"No, he doesn't have a boyfriend."
"——but he has a fiancé and a childhood friend."
Gu Yan said very seriously.
"He just went to deliver food to these two people."
Li Qing: “…”
"What????"
Ye Wangxing didn't know that after he left the whole dormitory was filled with Li Qing's screams. He was lamenting how difficult it was to deal with the protagonist this time.
[19. Although the protagonists of the previous mission worlds were logically self-consistent, this is the first time I've seen such a level of self-consistency. I'm afraid our mission this time is going to be a bit difficult.]
Ye Wangxing said with some headache. When he talked to Yijiu, he was no longer distant as before and became close as usual.
——Yijiu was happy to hear this.
So Yijiu said.
[Host, please rest assured that I will simulate their personalities - although there were some omissions in Shi Xuanzhu in the last world, there is 85% chance that there will be no problem in this world.]
After hearing what Yijiu said, Ye Wangxing felt relieved. After all, Yijiu had never let him down and was absolutely reliable.
Thinking of this, Ye Wangxing's face turned red unconsciously, but then he thought of the headache-inducing plot and suppressed his blush.
The fate of this world can be described in novels as those old-fashioned domineering CEO novels.
Or the kind where the little darling runs away ninety-nine times.
The story starts from when Gu Yan and Mu Bai started dating. The whole story goes on until they get married and Mu Bai really escapes 99 times, which is the end.
In fact, if it were just this, Ye Wangxing would not be asked to take over this kind of plot. After all, this kind of destiny line is not much different from the novice mission.
——The premise is that the compatibility between the protagonist and the fate line is not 100%.
Yes, 100 percent.
This is a pretty scary situation.
In the previous world, Shi Xuanzhu's compatibility with the destiny line reached 80%. Song Yun still had some feelings for Shi Xuanzhu until the end. This was also due to the high compatibility between him and the destiny line. His compatibility with the destiny line reached at least 60%.
But at least he can still listen to what others say, and with the support of his biological brother, Song Yun can only miss her lost love while surrounded by various bodyguards.
...It's so miserable that I can only cry while holding the money.
But this world is different. In this world, the protagonist and the top and bottom are in line with the fate line to an astonishing degree of 100%, which means that to some extent, the protagonist and the top and bottom are the embodiment of the fate line. They will do whatever it takes to get the fate line on the right track.
This is also one of the reasons why Ye Wangxing feels a headache.
What’s even more troubling is that the feelings these two have for each other couldn’t be more sincere!
Although he couldn't escape no matter how hard he tried to run away or chase him, they would always make up afterwards.
——Then the people around them who helped them will suffer.
This is also a classic plot in the novel. No matter whether it is a male or female supporting character, as long as they help them and get involved in the affairs between the young couple, they will always be targeted by another person, and finally they will be caught in a thankless situation, and sometimes they will even be in trouble.
This plot line made Ye Wangxing physically and mentally exhausted, and he finally understood why the rules made this matter so difficult that a veteran like him was needed.
——These two main characters, top and bottom, are really not something that ordinary taskers can deal with.
However, judging by the personalities seen on the fate line and the situation between the two of them, he might have to adjust his previous strategy.
Ye Wangxing took a deep breath, holding the two lunch boxes in his hands, and said to Yijiu in his mind.
[In this world, don’t even think about breaking up the protagonist and the shou. With my experience, I really can’t think of how to separate them emotionally. ]
Ye Wangxing's voice was calm but with a hint of helplessness.
[——After all, my dad has no good way to deal with this kind of couple. He can only persuade my parents to be more open-minded and wait until they wake up on their own.]
Although most of them will not wake up, but will continue to entangle with the other party.
[Okay host, do you want to change the previous script? ]
Yijiu's top and bottom character models have not been completed yet, but he also knows that his host feels it is difficult because of the top and bottom situation of the protagonist.
Providing options to solve the problem at this time will not cause the host to worry.
[There is no need to change the script for now. Let's observe it for a while and decide who will be the top and bottom protagonists.]
Ye Wangxing frowned and thought.
[Okay host, I will be prepared for it - but I suggest you speed up your pace, your lunch today is great, they are proud enough to show everyone the lunch they received.]
Yijiu's voice remained calm.
And Ye Wangxing...
He silently covered his blushing face and couldn't help thinking.
Yijiu, what you said is a foul!
Just when Ye Wangxing blushed.
Mu Bai was doing odd jobs with a wronged look on his face. During the lunch break, he could not help but complain to his colleagues in a low voice: "...It's always like this! I told him I don't eat coriander, but he just can't remember! He even said he was being nice to me, but it was just perfunctory!"
The colleagues didn't say anything, just smiled and moved on. After all, they already knew what kind of person Mu Bai was after spending a month with him.
Mu Bai talked a lot, but no colleague paid attention to him, which made him feel embarrassed. He couldn't help feeling aggrieved and subconsciously wanted to send a message to Gu Yan.
He took out his phone and realized that he was still angry, so he made a tough choice, put the phone back in his pocket, and continued to do his chores.
Gu Yan helped him find this internship, and he was able to do it at first. However, given his lack of ability, he could only do odd jobs for the time being.
Mu Bai had a quarrel with Gu Yan because of this, but since this company belonged to his uncle, not Gu Yan, Gu Yan ignored Mu Bai. Mu Bai could only continue to do odd jobs with grievance.
It was finally lunchtime and Mu Bai was planning to go to the cafeteria, but because he dealt with things late, when he arrived there were not many people there. Fortunately, Mu Bai didn't care. He ate his meal and checked his Moments for a while.
After gossiping with his colleagues about whether there was anything special about the cute lunch box that Mr. Pei posted on WeChat Moments, he also left the cafeteria.
Not long after he left, he saw a familiar figure walking out of the president's private elevator.
Mu Bai knew that person, it was Ye Wangxing, Gu Yan’s roommate.
However, Mu Bai did not have a deep impression of Ye Wangxing. He only remembered that he was an ordinary-looking boy who didn't talk much. When they occasionally met in the dormitory building, he would just nod and say hello.
But today's Ye Wangxing surprised Mu Bai a little.
The young man was only wearing an ordinary black T-shirt and still looked very handsome, but today his slightly flushed cheeks gave his handsome features a hint of indescribable meaning.
However, Mu Bai was more concerned about why he walked out of the president's private elevator this year?
Unfortunately, the young man didn't seem to see Mu Bai and left the company in a hurry, which made Mu Bai feel a little regretful.
But Mu Bai quickly put this little episode behind him because he had more exciting news.
"What? Mr. Pei also posted a video of a lunch box? What's going on? It's summer now, how come you're no longer single so quickly?"
This news was so explosive that he even forgot about the cold war with Gu Yan.
President Pei is popular in the company. Although he is the president, he is approachable and can joke with employees. He does not get angry over trivial matters, but he becomes a tyrant when he is working. However, when you think of the salary he gives, everything is tolerable.
However, Mr. Pei’s popularity is not very good. He is taciturn, only knows how to type code every day, and has a bad temper. Colleagues dare not approach him. Some people can’t even remember what Mr. Pei looks like.
If he was not the nephew of President Pei, I'm afraid even people in the company would easily forget about him.
And now these two both look like they are in love...
Mu Bai immediately sent all the photos that the two of them posted on WeChat Moments to Gu Yan.
Then he said.
“Gu Yan, it seems like you’re going to have an aunt and sister-in-law.”
When Gu Yan received Mu Bai's message, he still felt a little proud in his heart. After all, this time it was Mu Bai who lowered his head first. However, after seeing the message sent by Mu Bai and the accompanying picture, Gu Yan fell into deep thought.
——Why do these two lunch boxes look so familiar to him?
