Chapter 74
Ye Wangxing closed his eyes, his mind going numb.
Good news, Ye Bai gave up on suicide.
Bad news, he still plans to fake his death to wake up Worden.
A bunch of subsequent bloody plots whizzed through Ye Wangxing's mind.
What about how Woden felt extremely regretful after Ye Bai faked his death, but when he found out that Ye Bai was not dead, he did something irreversible to Ye Bai out of anger.
What about the fact that after Ye Bai faked his death, Woden was filled with remorse and committed suicide, which led to Ye Bai being filled with remorse and choosing to commit suicide.
Wait a minute…
Ye Wangxing's mind was filled with short articles from self-media, then world classics, and finally "Romeo, Romeo! Why are you Romeo?"
Ye Wangxing quickly shook his head, shaking out all the drama actors that appeared in his mind.
"Is it really because of the intense acting with Yijiu during this period that all these things are on my mind?"
When Ye Wangxing thought about how he had dragged Yijiu around and acted everywhere in order to monitor Ye Bai, how he had written countless scripts and how a lot of brain cells had died, he felt sad for himself.
He has been feeling suffocated these past few days, and there is something wrong with the way he looks at Yijiu. What is the result?
Ye Wangxing opened his eyes. The sunlight outside the study window was bright in the morning, but he felt that his future was bleak.
This future is within sight.jpg
Yijiu seemed to understand Ye Wangxing's mood at this time and spoke at the right time.
[For the host, this is already a big change for the fate line. The fate line of a small world of this difficulty will not play word games. ]
[If Ye Bai is told to commit suicide, then he will really commit suicide. Now that Ye Bai has agreed to fake his death, it means that the situation is getting better. After all, as the difficulty of the mission increases, the degree of fit between the fate of the small world and the protagonist's thinking will also increase. ]
Yijiu's calm but steady voice calmed Ye Wangxing down.
Indeed, this was the first time he changed the time and scene of the original fate line, so it was normal for problems to arise.
Besides...
Ye Wangxing reflected on it and found that he was indeed a little arrogant because the previous few events had gone smoothly. Otherwise, something happened that was beyond his expectations and he would not have been in a panic to make up for it everywhere.
In fact, as long as we wait and see, and since Yijiu has already replaced the intelligent robots around Ye Bai, Ye Bai will definitely not be in danger of life.
"It seems that it floated because of the favorable wind."
Ye Wangxing thought a little embarrassedly, turned around and expressed his gratitude to Yi.
[Yijiu! What will I do without you? ]
Yijiu listened to his host's words of gratitude. They were obviously normal words, but he still didn't know why he felt like his host was rubbed by something furry.
Especially my own CPU feels like a somatosensory module has been installed, and I have an itchy feeling.
…It was just like in the previous world, when a passing golden retriever rubbed its head against it.
Ye Wangxing didn't know that Yijiu's CPU had started to heat up. He looked at Ye Bai in front of him and also regained his strength.
Isn't it just that Ye Bai wants to fake his death? If the emperor doesn't agree, Ye Bai can't fake his death, after all, this is also considered a crime of deceiving the emperor.
As long as Ye Bai doesn't fake his death, there is a high probability that Woden will not awaken. Such a Woden is simply wasting the relationship between him and Ye Bai.
By the time the Emperor found a reason to deprive Woden of his position as Crown Prince, Ye Bai's feelings for Woden would have probably been worn out.
Thinking of this, Ye Wangxing's eyes lit up and his future seemed bright again.
And when Ye Wangxing's face was full of hope, Ye's father still spoke angrily.
"——Ye Bai! Have you ever thought that if you fake your death, it means that our family is deceiving the emperor! And you still want to hold a funeral? His Majesty must know that the youngest son of the Minister of Finance has passed away. You are forcing our family to death!"
Ye Wangxing listened to Ye's father's voice, looked at Ye Bai with worry on his face, and nodded in agreement with Ye's father's words.
But Ye Bai once again showed his stubbornness on the matter of Woden. He looked straight into Ye's father's eyes and looked up and said.
"Dad, I'm here to inform you, not to discuss it with you—and the Emperor has already agreed."
Before Ye's father's slap could reach Ye Bai, Ye Bai threw out a shocking thunder.
"What!" X3
Ye's father and mother sat on the sofa, Ye Wangxing stood behind them as if they were conducting a trial, and Ye Bai sat on the sofa and recounted what happened when he went to see His Majesty before.
"…That's how it is. Your Majesty agrees with my idea."
Ye Bai told His Majesty that he wanted to give Woden a chance, but His Majesty was not very happy. He just asked Ye Bai if he had made up his mind. After Ye Bai confirmed it again, she nodded and agreed to it.
However, Ye Bai understood from the puzzled expression on His Majesty's face when he looked at him that His Majesty seemed to be confused as well. Why on earth did he have such an idea?
Ye Bai understood that His Majesty had done his best for Woden, and he had really done his best, but the future of the empire really could not allow a king like Woden to hold power.
He also understood the confusion in His Majesty's eyes when he looked at him, which was also what he often saw in the eyes of people around him.
But he just wanted to give Worden, and their relationship, one last chance.
——Even though it was a tragedy, he did his best.
Just as Ye Bai was thinking, Ye's father and mother were already sighing, but Ye Wangxing had recovered.
After all, the fate line does have a great influence on the protagonist, but it is also difficult to say whether Ye Bai made such a decision from his heart. After all, Ye Wangxing has indeed met people with such personality in reality.
——Ye Bai’s symptoms were much milder than that man’s. At least Ye Bai only screwed over a few friends in the early stages, but when it came to his country and his family, his mind was always online.
Thinking of how his father had been so troubled that he couldn't sleep until 3:00 in the morning, and stood in front of his bed cosplaying as a zombie, Ye Wangxing's eyes softened when he looked at Ye Bai.
He even thought that it would be okay to cooperate. As long as Ye Bai faked his death, Warden would definitely start to regret it according to the fate line.
Moreover, once the dead male protagonist in the short story begins to regret, he must be the most insane one.
By then, the emperor would probably naturally eliminate his position as crown prince.
But Woden is no longer the prince, and the Chancellor's family and the vests created by Yijiu and others can completely suppress the other side.
Ye Wangxing thought about this idea and it was not a bad idea, so he began to persuade Ye's father and mother.
"Dad, Mom, since His Majesty has agreed, let Ye Bai give it a try. Who knows, maybe this will help Prince Woden regain his affection for him."
When Ye's father heard his equally troublesome eldest son's words, his eyes widened immediately. Before he could finish the sentence, "What kind of relationship can Woden have with Ye Bai?", he saw his eldest son come between him and his wife and whisper to them.
"In fact, the fact that His Majesty agreed to Ye Bai's nonsense also shows that His Majesty may be really dissatisfied with Woden. If Woden's reaction is not to His Majesty's liking, His Majesty may have a reason to move his position."
Listening to Ye Wangxing's calm and steady voice, Father Ye also came to his senses from why his son was so disappointing just now.
Indeed, the fact that His Majesty agreed to Ye Bai doing such a thing also shows a certain bias on his part, and his own son obviously would not give up until he achieved his goal, so it would be better to fulfill his wish and let him completely give up.
Thinking of this, Father Ye looked at Director Fei beside him, closed his eyes, sighed, and nodded.
Ye Bai was so happy that he almost jumped up from the sofa. Then he nodded hurriedly and went back to his room to start planning his fake death.
This eagerness to fake his death made Ye's father and Director Fei sigh again.
"Fortunately, Ye Wangxing is still there to support this family."
As soon as this thought came into Ye's father's mind, he turned around and saw Ye Wangxing looking at him gently, looking quite reliable.
But Father Ye was not happy at all, he just felt a little suffocated.
Father Ye's eyes swept across the bracelet on his eldest son's hand, the necklace around his neck, the new earrings on his ears, and the new ring on his index finger.
These accessories are quite in line with his temperament and are also very expensive.
——Father Ye would be even happier if the money was not sent by his eldest son’s mistresses, besides being expensive.
Father Ye waved his hand and drove his other troublesome son out of the room. Then he turned around and started complaining to Director Fei.
"...I don't know if there's something wrong with our mom's education or if we just have bad genes, why are we both so entangled in relationships? You and I weren't like this when we were young."
He is obviously the man who controls the financial power of the entire empire and always has a serious face outside, but Father Ye now looks painful in front of his wife.
"It's okay for Ye Bai. After all, they were engaged since childhood. It's normal for him to be a little obsessed with Woden. After all, the influence of the emperor and society on him will affect the formation of his character."
"But what's going on with Ye Wangxing? It's not a big deal to have a few ex-boyfriends, but why does he keep in touch with them every time after breaking up? Why do those people also follow suit when he has delusions? Don't they think Wangxing is playing tricks on them?"
Father Ye's expression was so painful that it almost caught up with His Majesty's every time he saw his idiot son getting into trouble again.
"During this period, when I went to the Ministry of Finance, I was afraid that people would greet me, for fear that they would ask me how I raised these two sons. It's not that I'm embarrassed, but I really don't know how they grew up like this."
Ye's father had a painful expression on his face, but Director Fei was calmer. This lady had also seen many strange experiences in poverty alleviation work, and she was able to keep her expression under control.
...Although judging from the flash of pain in her eyes, she was not very calm.
"In fact, the two children's behavior at least shows that they are sincere in their relationship. They are not like those scumbags who just play around and abandon their wives and children and hurt others."
Director Fei lied with her eyes open, causing Ye's father to look up at her in shock.
How can Ye Wangxing's incident be called not harming others? The four people at the royal banquet were almost crying.
"Ahem," seeing Ye's father's incredulous expression, Director Fei coughed and said helplessly, "Well, actually, Ye Wangxing's incident does have some problems, but it's not a big problem."
Before Ye's father could refute in disbelief, he heard Director Fei whispered, "After all, the incident with Mom was a big deal."
Director Fei has only two fathers, and there is only one person whom Director Fei can call mother.
"…My mother?"
Father Ye pointed at himself with a shocked expression.
Director Fei nodded affirmatively and summarized Ye Wangxing's situation: "Ye Wangxing should take after his grandmother."
Father Ye: “…”
Was the mother also surrounded by all her ex-boyfriends at the royal banquet and asked for an answer?
"It's not that exaggerated - but I was questioned one by one at my own celebration party."
Director Fei enthusiastically talked about the gossip he heard from his elders.
"But the people my mother chose back then weren't very good. After they found out that my mother had so many ex-boyfriends, they all left. Unlike Ye Wangxing, who has good taste, none of the four of them planned to quit."
Director Fei's expression was strangely relieved.
"At least I won't have to worry about not being able to find people when I ask the military and the royal family for money or people."
Just as Ye's father was about to say, "You call this good vision," he fell into deep thought.
——By the way, could he also take this opportunity to reduce the funding for the military and the royal family?
Ye Bai didn't know that his parents were already planning how to squeeze some money out of the military and the royal family because of his eldest brother's matter. He was excitedly telling Elena about his plan.
He directly opened a club room on the holographic network. No matter how far away other people were, they could enter the room through holographic images and talk to him in real time.
As soon as Elena entered the box, she heard Ye Bai excitedly holding her hands and saying.
"Elina, I succeeded! His Majesty has agreed to my fake death plan, and my parents also nodded after His Majesty agreed."
Elina was a little confused at first, but when she realized what Ye Bai said, she felt a little unwell.
"Isn't that how His Majesty agreed to it? And didn't your parents stop you?"
Alina screamed.
Martha, who came in from behind her, looked at Ye Wangxing in disbelief.
"Elina, why are you reacting like this? Weren't you the one who suggested that I go find His Majesty?"
Ye Bai looked at Elina with a puzzled look.
"I asked you to go to His Majesty, but I didn't expect His Majesty would actually agree to your ridiculous plan!"
Elina said again in disbelief.
He really couldn't believe that his aunt would agree to Ye Bai's ridiculous plan. She even became the basis for Ye Bai to confess to his parents.
Ye Bai also said angrily.
"Your Majesty would never think my plan is ridiculous as you said. After I told His Majesty the situation, His Majesty nodded in agreement with me and even said that he would help keep an eye on Woden!"
Looking at Ye Bai's righteous look, Elina's hands began to itch again. She wanted to pick up the teapot on the table and smash Ye Bai to wake him up.
Unfortunately, after picking it up, Elina remembered that this was not the real world but a holographic space, and smashing it here would not make Ye Bai sober.
"Are you sure, Your Majesty, that my aunt did not express any doubt or surprise at your plan, but rather approved of it with great pleasure?"
Elina questioned.
Her aunt would never agree to this matter without any benefits. Could it be that her aunt really wants to take away Woden's position as the crown prince?
Elina thought.
Ye Bai was strangely silent.
But he remained silent for a while, waiting until Elena sat down on the sofa like a peacock that had won a fight, then he raised his head and spoke stubbornly.
"No matter whether Her Majesty really agrees or not, she has already agreed. Please help me find out whether my plan is feasible."
Elena and Martha looked at each other and sighed. They realized that Ye Bai would not give up until he achieved his goal this time, just like every time he wanted to run to Warden before.
When it comes to the matter of Walden, everyone around is no match for Ye Bai, but they can't just watch Ye Bai fall into the fire pit. Fortunately, Ye Bai hasn't done anything to trick them during this period of time, which makes Martha and Elena finally nod and agree to help Ye Bai look at his plan.
But Elina and Martha naturally did not agree to this for free.
"——You have to tell us what the progress between your brother and those people has been during this period."
Elina and Martha gossiped, but in return they got a confused look from Ye Bai.
"My brother and those guys have made progress, how come I don't know that they have made progress?"
Elena and Martha looked at each other and realized that Ye Bai was probably busy with his fake death plan during this period, and probably didn't care about the situation between Ye Wangxing and those people after he recovered.
During this period, the entire Internet was in an uproar because of the things between Ye Wangxing and those four people. Whether it was their emotional experiences or their interactions on the Capital Star during this period, they were all pulled out.
Ye Wangxing’s social media is now full of people asking him to publish a book.
But those five were quite quiet, unlike Woden who had been causing trouble every day recently, sometimes privately contacting ministers and sometimes wanting to enter the business world.
Thinking of Woden, Elina quickly shook her head to drive the unlucky thing out of her mind, and then said in surprise.
"Don't you know that your brother had a date with Admiral Otas a week ago? I remember the restaurant they went to that day was exactly the same restaurant you went to when you came out to party with us?"
Elina and Martha said in surprise.
That day they thought Ye Bai had already seen it, otherwise why would his face be so red?
At that time, they were still trying to find excuses for Ye Bai, thinking that it was normal for him to blush. After all, when Admiral Otas and Ye Wangxing were arguing in the garden, Admiral Otas pushed Ye Wangxing against the wall without any hesitation.
Even though it was just a kiss, the atmosphere and the size were so different.
——I can only say that it was not their fault that Elena and Martha went back with red faces.
"I was wondering why you guys were out for so long that day, and you looked quite gossipy when you came back, but I just happened to have something to do that day so I went back first."
Ye Bai said with a look of sudden enlightenment, and then he also remembered that there seemed to be something extra on his eldest brother's body that day.
"—Ring! My brother's ring!"
Ye Bai spoke so excitedly that he almost scared Elena and the others.
"When Ye Wangxing came back that day, he had a very delicate ring on his index finger. I took a look and it was made by a master. The metal used was a very expensive liquid metal used on mechas! And it also has protective functions."
Now Elena and Martha's expressions became serious.
They quickly took out the information they had heard from the group of playboys in the past few days and asked Ye Bai one by one.
"...That day, Prince Janus asked Ye Wangxing to watch his mecha show?" Elena asked Ye Bai. He heard this from a playboy in the group. She also went to the mecha show that day, but was just a cheerleader below.
When she went back to get her things, she saw Prince Janus pulling someone into the lounge.
Due to the good sound insulation, she didn't hear anything. She could only see Prince Janus and Ye Wangxing walking out one after another after the door opened. Ye Wangxing also hit Prince Janus.
But Prince Janus was not angry. Instead, he happily gave his best performance that day.
Ye Bai recalled and said immediately.
"I happened to go to school to get some information that day, but I didn't notice that my brother went with me. I only know that he came back happily that day with an extra bracelet on his hand, but his mouth was a little swollen."
Elina said affirmatively immediately.
"He kissed me, he definitely kissed me! Prince Janus is quite capable!"
Martha at the side also asked quickly.
"What about the day when Count Uno invited Ye Wangxing to his newly opened restaurant?"
It is said that Count Uno behaved like a gentleman throughout, but before leaving he left Ye Wangxing at a corner for a long time. When Ye Wangxing came out, he was almost cooked.
But Count Uno licked it, and for some reason his broken mouth corners smiled happily.
"I found out that day that after my brother came back from dinner with you guys, he had a new earring on his ear. I asked him why he thought of getting an earring, and his neck was a little red. He said he was bitten by a dog."
"It seems that this dog is quite old..." Martha raised her eyebrows and said with a smile.
Alina said excitedly.
"The last one! The last one! The day when Vice President Semos called him to participate in the test of the new exoskeleton!"
"I went there with my mom that day. My brother was there too. He disappeared for a while and when he came back, there was a necklace around his neck. It was quite hot that day. I didn't know why he suddenly buttoned up his shirt."
Ye Bai became more and more excited as he spoke, and when he got to this point, his expression showed a hint of sudden enlightenment.
"So he went on a date with Lord Samos - and my brother said it was a cat bite!"
Elina recalled the height of Lord Seamus and said with a sigh.
"…1.93 meters, this cat is really big."
The atmosphere among the three of them finally returned to normal, and even brought some joy, especially Elena and Martha, who lay comfortably on the sofa and sighed as if they had eaten their fill.
"...Speaking of which, Ye Bai, who do you think can successfully become your true brother-in-law?"
Elina sat up and said to Ye Bai with a wink.
Ye Bai shook his head that day. After all, he really didn't know much about those people's personalities, and his contact with them was limited to how they treated his brother.
——But a week later, Ye Bai began to regret why he didn't just pick one at random.
Ye Bai looked at the four men standing at his doorstep to attend his brother's birthday party and trying not to forget to try to please him, and his expression was quite painful.
——No, you can just give gifts and ask my brother which one he likes, but why are you asking me about me too!
Ye Bai: Just fake your death!
