Chapter 107
When Ye Wangxing heard this, he was completely stunned. There was no such side quest in the task list that just appeared. Could it be that the sudden change in fate caused it?
But there has never been a task like this that suddenly appeared on Destiny Line to grab attention?
Ye Wangxing had a worried look on his face, and his brows were furrowed inwardly. As for Yijiu...
He is already on his way to submit a report to the company.
[Host, rest assured. If the situation this time causes the mission to fail, then the laws of this small world and the overall system will give an explanation and compensation.]
Before Ye Wangxing asked why, he heard Yijiu say calmly.
[——If they don’t want me to come to their door. ]
Ye Wangxing, who had been with Yijiu for a long time, could easily hear the danger hidden in Yijiu's words, and at this moment he suddenly remembered something.
Yes, 19 is actually a combat system.
Ye Wangxing immediately felt relieved, and his originally anxious mood calmed down because he had a bottom line, but he still said.
[After all, I will still be working under them in the future, so it would not be good to make things too ugly - so who is in charge of the rules? Can people in your company get in touch with them? It would be best if everyone is happy. If the rules are out of control and the intelligence provided is wrong, the overall system will probably have a headache. ]
Ye Wangxing spoke to Yijiu, his voice as calm as Yijiu's. He himself did not even realize that he had been influenced by Yijiu at certain times. He was still analyzing based on his past experience and the situation when he returned to the system company after each mission, and trying to find loopholes.
[If the things that need to be done by the rules are not done well, it will also affect other taskers. There are not many taskers in the company who work seriously. Now the system damage rate will be even higher...]
Ye Wangxing's words made Yijiu a little confused, but after running the CPU a little, he realized that Ye Wangxing was probably talking about negotiating with the company, but the final goal was probably still the rules.
Yijiu didn't say anything, but silently prepared for battle.
Head Office and Rules: ...I have a bad feeling about this.
However, when they arrived at the scene of the accident, Ye Wangxing found that he seemed to have violated the law.
...Because there were not many people there, only the counselor and the two roommates who called him out.
Ye Wangxing lowered his head, picked up his phone and took a look, and found that it was only a little after six in the morning.
No wonder no one is here.
The counselor and the other two roommates were now standing by the lake with shocked expressions on their faces.
Looking at the two people hugging each other in the lake.
Ye Wangxing looked at the couple standing in the lake hugging each other, as if they were the protagonists of an old idol drama, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
...Didn't they just quarrel yesterday? Why is there an idol drama today?
It was at this time that Yijiu spoke dutifully.
[Host, if someone films this and spreads it online, it will easily lead to a loss of attention. Do you need the cooperation of your biological body? ]
Ye Wangxing listened to Yijiu's words, looked at the counselor who seemed to be about to make a sharp explosion, then looked at the final schedule that the counselor sent to the group last night before speaking.
[…That’s not necessary. The counselor will definitely not let this matter get out. At most, he will tell the leader. It might have gotten out before, but now it’s the end of the semester.]
Ye Wangxing's tone was filled with exhaustion of having seen through everything.
[Rather than the young couple jumping into the lake and hugging each other in the safety of the waist-deep lake, they still wanted to get the key points from the teacher. ]
Ye Wangxing paused here before adding.
[——Of course, it would be even better if I could get the previous test papers and answers from the sophomores and juniors.]
[But what I am most curious about now is how did they become like this? ]
As Ye Wangxing spoke, he finally came to his roommate and asked what had happened.
When they saw Ye Wangxing coming, Li Qing and the second brother seemed to finally react, and then an indescribable expression appeared on their faces.
After finally listening to their stories, Ye Wangxing said:
"So what you're saying is that the two of them jumped in to prove how much they loved each other?"
Li Qing and the second brother nodded.
Ye Wangxing slowly turned his head and looked at the two people still in the pool, and spoke to Yijiu in a very serious tone.
[19, it seems we have really met our match—this one is even crazier than the previous ones! ]
Gu Yan didn't know what Ye Wangxing was thinking. He was still immersed in the joy of reconciling with Mu Bai.
He did not lose his temper when he parted with Mu Bai despite the coercion and inducement from the counselor.
It was just so sticky that it was a little hard for several roommates to bear.
On the way back, he was still talking about how he reconciled with Mu Bai today.
He was so shocked by Ye Wangxing's condition last night that he didn't react until he lay down on the bed at night.
Then he rarely felt any guilt towards Mu Bai. He really hadn't cared about him much during this period.
So the next morning, Gu Yan got up early and went to buy Mu Bai's favorite breakfast - this time he remembered to avoid the coriander buns and chose a few of Mu Bai's usual morning teas.
He also thought to himself that he must have a good talk with Mu Bai this time and not let the cold war continue.
So he took breakfast, walked to the downstairs of Mu Bai's dormitory, and called Mu Bai to come out.
Although the background noise was a bit noisy when Mu Bai answered the phone, fortunately he still came out.
The two walked directly to the artificial lake.
The atmosphere was relatively relaxed at the beginning, but Mu Bai was still angry, and after a few words they started arguing.
"——Gu Yan, you are always like this, trying to fool people by bringing breakfast. Do you really care about my feelings? Do you know how upset I was yesterday?"
Mu Bai said with tears in his eyes.
Gu Yan was a little annoyed by Mu Bai's words, and his tone became heavier: "Mu Bai, can you stop being so unreasonable? I've already apologized, what else do you want?"
"I'm being unreasonable?" Mu Bai's eyes suddenly turned red, and his voice became louder. "Gu Yan, you don't understand my feelings at all! You are always like this, never considering my feelings!"
The two of them were arguing more and more fiercely. Gu Yan felt annoyed. He turned his head to look at the artificial lake beside him and suddenly blurted out: "Mu Bai, if you don't believe me, I will jump into the lake right now to prove it to you!"
Mu Bai was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Okay, jump! I want to see if you dare!"
Gu Yan was so excited by Mu Bai's reaction that he turned around and ran towards the school's artificial lake. Seeing this, Mu Bai's heart tightened and he quickly chased after him.
The two ran to the lake, and Gu Yan jumped into the lake without saying anything. The water was icy cold, and Gu Yan suddenly became more sober. However, in order to prove his feelings, he still stood in the lake and looked up at Mu Bai on the shore: "Mu Bai, look, I'm serious!"
Mu Bai stood on the shore, looking at Gu Yan who was soaked all over, feeling angry and anxious. He gritted his teeth and jumped in as well.
With a "plop", Mu Bai also jumped into the lake. The water was not deep, only up to their waists. After Mu Bai stood firm, he looked up at Gu Yan with red eyes: "Gu Yan, you idiot!"
Gu Yan watched Mu Bai jump down, and was touched. He reached out and held Mu Bai's hand, and his tone softened: "Mu Bai, I really care about you. Don't be angry, okay?"
Mu Bai looked at Gu Yan's wet face, and his anger disappeared by half. He lowered his head, his voice choked a little: "Gu Yan, can you care about me a little more in the future? I really don't want to quarrel like this anymore."
Gu Yan held Mu Bai's hand tightly and nodded solemnly: "Okay, I promise you. I will definitely care about you more in the future and will not let you feel sad again."
The two stood in the lake, looked at each other, and suddenly laughed. Although the lake water was cold, their hearts were warm.
"...I didn't expect that he loved me so much. When I jumped down, he jumped down too. It turns out that he still can't leave me."
Gu Yan said this, feeling a little proud.
I was totally unaware that my roommates were almost speechless.
"Do you think he can really react? How big of a blow will his jumping into the lake cause to the instructor's bonus this time?"
Li Qing whispered to the second brother beside him, and the second brother rolled his eyes and said.
"It would be strange if he realized it. The last time he ordered takeout for Mu Bai, he insisted that the delivery guy come into the school. Doesn't our school have a special takeout point? He insisted that the food be delivered to the dormitory building. After paying extra money, the delivery guy dressed up as a college student and delivered the food. But Mu Bai started crying because he saw that the delivery guy didn't have the classic bunny ears."
The second brother said bluntly: "He was just like the boss in the novel. He gave me a bad review without saying anything. I gave the reward I promised to give, but it's not enough to compensate me."
"I was wondering why there is a rumor in our school that when the delivery guy picks up food from our school, we have to ask if it is a couple ordering it. If so, we have to hesitate for a while before picking it up."
Li Qing said with a twitching mouth, what a psychological trauma this must have left on the delivery guy.
"Although couples in the honeymoon period are said to despise it, I didn't expect that people could despise it to this extent..."
Ye Wangxing on the side couldn't help but say something, but his voice was very small, for fear that Gu Yan beside him would hear it.
"Forget it. I don't care anyway. I still need to sleep when I get back to the dormitory. I was woken up at 5:30 in the morning. I have to admit that he woke me up. I'm lucky that no one in our dormitory is grumpy when getting up."
Li Qing complained that his resentment towards Gu Yan had reached its peak.
The second child wasn't much better, and he was also exuding a low mood all the way back to the dormitory.
Fortunately, Gu Yan has been immersed in his feelings and keeps sending short messages to Mu Bai. Even if the other party does not respond, he is still happy to do so.
By the time the other people in the dormitory had caught up on their sleep and woke up again, he and Mu Bai had even started sending emoticons to each other.
The expressions of the others became even more disgusted, but he didn't care at all. He continued this activity until noon, and only put down his phone when Mu Bai went to eat.
As soon as he put down his phone, he saw Ye Wangxing packing his things in the dormitory, as if preparing to go out. Gu Yan asked casually, "Old Four, where are you going?"
The handsome young man didn't even raise his head, and continued to organize the things in his hands. He said with a cheerful voice: "I plan to make some snacks and send them to a friend."
The others immediately started to cheer, assuming that Ye Wangxing was delivering snacks to the two uncle and nephew. Ye Wangxing neither nodded nor shook his head, but just smiled.
When Gu Yan heard this, his heart moved. He remembered the scene when Ye Wangxing delivered food to his uncle and cousin and posted it on WeChat Moments to show off - if others have it, his boyfriend must have it too.
He stood up and patted Ye Wangxing on the shoulder: "Hey, Lao Si, can you take me with you? I also want to send something to Mu Bai, so I can learn from you."
Ye Wangxing raised his head and glanced at Gu Yan with a hint of surprise in his eyes, as if he was amazed that the young master had actually come to his senses. However, he would never refuse a reasonable request from his roommates, just like today.
"Okay, come with me later."
Gu Yan smiled immediately and had already started thinking about what to prepare for Mu Bai. He assumed that Ye Wangxing was going to deliver snacks to his uncle and cousin, and didn't even ask who Ye Wangxing was delivering them to.
However, Gu Yan originally thought that Ye Wangxing would take him to a bakery near the school or even the cafeteria, after all, they could use the kitchen here.
However, Ye Wangxing did not take him somewhere near the school, but took him out of the school gate and turned into an upscale residential area.
It was not until Ye Wangxing took him into a building, took the elevator, and finally stopped in front of a door that Gu Yan could not help but ask, "Old Four, where is this?"
Ye Wangxing took out the key to open the door and said with a smile: "It's Jiuge's apartment. The friend I mentioned before is him. He bought this after making money. But he travels all over the country and doesn't live here all the time. He asked me to help maintain his popularity."
As the handsome young man spoke, he opened the door and took out a pair of Nike slippers from the shoe cabinet next to him, as if this was his home.
Gu Yan: ...You don't look like you're just trying to maintain your popularity.
Gu Yan felt that his roommates were almost more familiar with this house than Sheng Jiu.
Gu Yan was just thinking about it and put on his shoes, but when he raised his head, he was stunned.
What he saw before him was not the ordinary apartment he had imagined, but a spacious and bright large flat.
The floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room overlook the scenery of the entire city, and the sun shines in, shining on the simple yet luxurious furniture. The open kitchen is fully equipped and even has a bar. The entire space is full of modernity, yet exudes a warm atmosphere.
Gu Yan stood at the door, not coming back to his senses for a long time. Although he was a rich second-generation and had seen many luxury houses, the place Ye Wangxing brought him to was obviously not something that an ordinary student could afford.
"This... is this the apartment you mentioned?" Gu Yan couldn't help but ask, with a hint of disbelief in his tone, "This is clearly a large flat!"
The handsome young man who was looking for something raised his head, and then said with a smile: "Jiu Ge thinks it's not good to tell everyone that he is rich, which may easily arouse others' jealousy."
Gu Yan frowned, feeling a little disapproving: "What is there to be jealous of? Besides, it's just a large flat, what is there to hide?"
The handsome young man gave him a rather strange look.
If Gu Yan studied it carefully, he would know what this look meant - I'm going to fight with you rich people.
However, he only glanced at Gu Yan, and then he felt that there was no point in talking to Gu Yan about this. So he turned around and walked into the huge kitchen and began to prepare the ingredients.
Gu Yan didn't care and walked around the living room by himself, feeling curious about the relationship between Ye Wangxing and Sheng Jiu.
However, when he reached the door of a half-open room, his steps suddenly stopped.
The room was a study room, with bookshelves filled with all kinds of books and documents, and a high-end computer on the desk. But what shocked Gu Yan the most was that there was a workbench on the other side of the study room.
If he was not mistaken, in addition to a variety of electronic components, the workbench also had soldering irons, solder wire, heat shrink tubing, hot air guns... and so on, there was even a multimeter!
Gu Yan's eyes widened in disbelief. He turned to look at Ye Wangxing, with a hint of probing in his tone: "Old Four, this study... is it yours? Does your brother Jiu know that you put these things in his house?"
Ye Wangxing poked his head out of the kitchen, glanced at the study, and nodded: "He knows, he bought these for me, and he forced them into my hands when I told him not to."
The handsome young man said, scratching his head a little embarrassedly: "It's a pity that I don't have the same ability to make money as him. I can only research some small things to give him."
Gu Yan was silent again.
Although he knew that there was definitely something wrong between Brother Nine and Ye Wangxing, and that the two were probably in an ambiguous relationship, he never expected it to have reached this point.
...It seems like his uncle and cousin have lost a bit.
"But he is just that kind of person. If someone treats him well, he will be sincere to them."
The young man sighed as he spoke, looking as if he had a long way to go.
However, Ye Wangxing's words shocked Gu Yan even more. He asked himself, with such a large flat, would he reserve a study or even a workbench for an ordinary friend and let him do whatever he wants in it?
Even if he was a benefactor, he wouldn't be so careful as to choose a Dewei electric drill for the other person!
However, Ye Wangxing seemed to be completely oblivious to Gu Yan's doubts and was still busy in the kitchen. Gu Yan could not ask any more questions, so he could only suppress his doubts and start preparing snacks for Mu Bai.
However, given his busy schedule, Ye Wangxing chose to let Gu Yan step aside and help him shoot a video while he completed the preliminary preparations for the Dragon Beard Pastry.
Gu Yan held up his cell phone. Although he felt a little unconvinced, he looked at the handsome young man with his back to him, the sugar threads in his hands floating in the air along with the powder, and his narrow waist tied by the apron looked beautiful and strong. He had to admit that Ye Wangxing was indeed quite capable.
——Just a little bit worse than him.
Gu Yan still thought with some dissatisfaction.
Ye Wangxing turned around and took the phone from him, looked at himself in the video, nodded with satisfaction, and praised Gu Yan a few words. Gu Yan then put his previous dissatisfaction behind him.
Ye Wangxing didn't care much about it. His attitude was different before and after. He immediately sent this short video to his WeChat friends.
However, what made Gu Yan feel a little strange was that he seemed to have never seen this WeChat friend before, but then he thought, maybe it was Sheng Jiu?
So he didn't care about it, but started to prepare the dragon beard cakes attentively and clumsily.
However, after wrapping for a while, he looked at the ugly thing in his hand, and then looked at the dragon beard pastry made by Ye Wangxing, which was not exquisite but definitely reliable, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Old Four, if you give this dragon beard pastry out, the other party will be captured."
Ye Wangxing smiled and said nothing. He just concentrated on dividing the dragon beard crisps into three portions. The amount of sugar in each portion was different and the packaging was also unique.
The sweetest one was carefully packaged by him in the most convenient way to carry it, and it was obviously prepared for special occasions.
Gu Yan watched Ye Wangxing pack the dragon beard crisps and snowflake crisps separately, and couldn't help but admire him. He couldn't help but ask, "Old Four, who are you preparing this for? Why are you using so many different amounts of sugar?"
The handsome young man smiled and said, "After all, we have to deal with different occasions, so different amounts of sugar are normal."
Gu Yan nodded, but he became even more curious. He looked at the shapeless ball of sugar in his hand and felt a little discouraged. However, he quickly cheered up and decided to add some "creativity" to his dragon beard crisps and snowflake crisps.
Since he couldn’t compare to Lao Si in taste and appearance, he might as well win with creativity!
Thinking of this, Gu Yan's eyes lit up and he opened the food delivery app. Half an hour later.
The handsome young man asked with a difficult tone to Gu Yan, who was sitting in front of the kitchen counter with shining eyes.
"Are you sure you want to add pork floss to the snowflake crisps and dragon beard crisps?"
Gu Yan said confidently.
"Don't worry, Lao Si's meat floss is also sweet, but it's a little more salty, maybe it has a different flavor."
The handsome young man sighed silently and felt sorry for the protagonist in his heart.
'May the Buddha bless him.'
Gu Yan had no idea what the handsome young man was thinking. He was still working on his masterpiece. After finally finishing it, he immediately picked up the box and prepared to set off.
Ye Wangxing naturally followed them out, and before leaving, he left a copy for the owner to send.
The two of them parted ways when they reached the school gate. Ye Wangxing continued walking out of the school, while Gu Yan chose to call Mu Bai.
Unfortunately, Mu Bai was in the counselor's office being criticized for the previous incident and couldn't answer the phone. Gu Yan had to put away his phone and subconsciously looked around.
However, he later discovered that something seemed a little wrong - the direction Ye Wangxing was heading was not the direction of the company where his uncle and cousin worked.
Of course, it’s not the direction of Sheng Jiu - Sheng Jiu is going to take a flight this afternoon and should be at the airport now!
Gu Yan instantly realized that something seemed a little wrong, but based on how much Ye Wangxing cared about the Dragon Beard Crisps and Snowflake Crisps, these two things must be given either to his parents or to those three people, right?
unless……
Gu Yan quickly waved his hands, secretly cursing himself for thinking too much. Two people usually can't handle it, so how could there be a fourth person?
Ten minutes later.
Looking at the tall young man standing at the entrance of the training center, who picked up Ye Wangxing with one hand and turned him around, Gu Yan opened his mouth silently and muttered.
"...No, there really is a fourth one!"
