Chapter 106
Gu Yan and two other roommates sat on the sofa, looking at the two people sitting in another booth in front of them, their expressions were hard to describe.
Warm golden light streamed through the coffee shop's glass. The man who had just been giving a speech on the stage leaned forward slightly, his 1.98-meter figure casting a gentle shadow over the young man's head.
The chest muscles under his shirt rose and fell with his breathing, making people want to exclaim in surprise. His smiling peach blossom eyes were now lowered, staring intently at the person in front of him, and his eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes.
His arms were naturally draped over his legs, his slender fingers unconsciously clenched a little tightly, making him look a little nervous. A strong, honey-colored forearm was revealed under his shirt cuffs, with veins faintly visible.
But it is undeniable that this is a man with great charm, especially when he was on the podium and looked like an elite, sharing his experience with his younger classmates as an outstanding alumnus.
As a man who just graduated and got a senior management position in a large group, he is indeed qualified to give lectures.
If it were a thigh like this in the past, even if Li Qing and the others didn't want to hug it, they wouldn't have made such an embarrassed expression.
——But what if this person had called Ye Wangxing his financial sponsor in front of them?
Li Qing lifted his coffee cup tremblingly, almost spilling the delicate latte art on it. He was so scared that he took a sip and then put it back on the table, looking at the two people opposite him without daring to say a word.
The second one beside him had the same expression.
Gu Yan's expression became much more complex, as if he was shocked to see his good son-in-law cheating on his wife, or as if he was shocked to see that his friend was actually a sea king.
It was obvious that he had a thousand words in his mind, but he didn't say them out loud in the end.
Although they already knew that Ye Wangxing was not the financial backer of this person, he just asked his family to sponsor this senior to complete his studies in high school, and the senior was just joking.
——But the senior student denied it and said that Ye Wangxing was his first client and was also his financial backer.
Then this outstanding senior took Ye Wangxing to the coffee shop outside the school, saying that he had something to discuss.
Li Qing and Lao Er originally planned to go back to the dormitory. After all, Ye Wangxing and this senior had something to talk about, so what did it have to do with them? But they didn't know if Gu Yan had taken the wrong medicine, and had to drag them along to play stalking.
The reason I asked was that I was afraid that Ye Wangxing would cheat on me.
This immediately silenced Li Qinggan. Thinking back to what Gu Yan had said before about the fiancé and childhood sweetheart, he couldn't resist the temptation of gossip after all. He followed Gu Yan to this coffee shop, which made Lao Er standing next to him a little confused.
Fortunately, Li Qing was not the kind of person who kept people in suspense, so he directly told the story of the childhood engagement and the fiancé. In an instant, the second brother forgot all the doubts in his mind, and he was completely focused on the conversation between Ye Wangxing and the senior.
While they were struggling, the handsome young man was still arguing with the man about the issue of the financial sponsor.
"...My dear Jiu-ge! If my mother, your godmother, knew what you said, she would beat me up again when she got home. I was just a high school kid, and you really plan to use this joke to tease me for the rest of my life?"
The handsome young man said this with a painful expression.
The man named Sheng Jiu, listening to the young man's almost coquettish words, the corners of his mouth rose significantly by several degrees, and even his hands could not help moving. However, he didn't know what he thought of, and he finally put his hands back and just smiled and said.
"Why? Didn't you shout it out loud in high school? I won't mind telling you this joke even when you're old."
The man spoke with a rather ambiguous tone, but he did not dare to take any action that would take him beyond the line, and only spoke with his mouth.
This made the nervous Li Qing and others feel relieved. Fortunately, it was not a homosexual relationship, nor was it an affair. It was just a joke between friends.
The second child even muttered, "That's it? I've said this to my older brothers before, and it seems like they're no different from how we interact with each other."
Although Gu Yan felt that something was wrong, it was a good thing that Ye Wangxing did not cheat.
Gu Yan thought about it, and his expression showed a hint of relief from his mother's family.
——Then they saw that the handsome young man seemed to be annoyed by the teasing, and he stretched out his arms and hugged the man's neck.
Gu Yan: ...
The young man's arm was directly wrapped around the man's neck. The honey-colored skin and the arm with a healthy blood color pressed together. The man's neck instantly turned red, as if it was scalded by the temperature of the arm.
The tall man's peach blossom eyes, which were originally smiling, suddenly widened. He sat stiffly in his seat, as if he was frightened and could only allow the young man to threaten him.
"If you're still playing this joke, I'll hug you by the neck like I'm doing now and declare in front of everyone that you're my financial backer!"
The handsome young man said with some pride.
"Anyway, with how rich you are now, Brother Jiu, if you call me your financial sponsor, only a few people might believe you, but if I call you my financial sponsor, I guarantee everyone will believe me."
As the handsome young man spoke, he looked into the man's peach blossom eyes with his beautiful black eyes.
The man looked into the young man's eyes. The blush on his neck spread faster and faster, climbing directly onto his face. Soon, his entire face was as red as a tomato.
Li Qing and his friends at the next table: ...
"...Why do I feel like there's something amiss between Ye Wangxing and this senior?"
The second brother finally couldn't help but speak. He lowered his voice and discussed quietly with the two roommates beside him, and Li Qing couldn't help but nod.
"I think so too, but I can't quite tell which of them is more interested."
Li Qing said in a low voice.
——After all, they all went through high school together, and they had done even more outrageous things with other friends back then. Ye Wangxing's behavior didn't seem to be anything wrong.
At this time, we have to rely on the only person present who has experience in love.
Gu Yan looked at Li Qing and the second brother beside him with a look of help, and his expression froze for a moment.
...Can he say that he doesn’t understand it either?
After all, if he could tell who had the idea first, he wouldn't have been scolded by Bai Mu for two days just because of a phone number handed to him by a senior schoolmate.
However, Gu Yan would not let his image in the eyes of his roommates be ruined, so he said pretentiously.
"That shouldn't be the case. After all, the second oldest child also said that it's normal for friends to play around. It's just that they took it a bit too far."
Gu Yan finished speaking in an unfathomable manner, while Li Qing and the others nodded in disbelief and turned their attention back to their senior.
At this time, the senior seemed to see his own embarrassment from the young man's eyes, and seemed to finally react. He quickly shifted his gaze and tried to get out of the young man's arms.
That eloquent mouth now seemed like a cassette tape, and it could only repeat, "You go down first."
"Then please stop playing this joke. It's so awkward. We have such a good relationship, but you have to act like I'm supporting you."
The handsome young man muttered, and finally put his arm down. The man instantly breathed a sigh of relief, and the heat on his face subsided a little.
Gu Yan also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his guess was correct. Ye Wangxing was really just playing around with the other party.
He turned to Li Qing and the others, raised the coffee cup in his hand, and raised his eyebrows, as if to prove, do you think I'm right?
But before Gu Yan put down the coffee cup in his hand, he heard the handsome young man say as a matter of course.
"Even if you and I were in that kind of relationship, we should have gotten a marriage certificate, right? Don't talk so meanly. What's the point of being supported or not? If you've met the parents properly, even if you pay money, that should still be considered true love!"
"Puff—cough cough cough!"
Gu Yan took a sip of coffee and placed it on the table.
Sheng Jiu, who had finally breathed a sigh of relief, also did the same thing as him.
The man took a sip of coffee and poured it directly onto the table. He put down the coffee in his hand in embarrassment and looked for paper to wipe the coffee stains off his body.
Seeing this, the young man came over anxiously to help, his tone full of surprise.
"What's wrong? Jiu brother, did I scare you? If you hate it, I won't say it next time."
As the handsome young man spoke, he continued to help the man wipe the coffee stains off his body. As the young man's hands moved across his chest and abdominal muscles, the man coughed even more violently.
His chest was heaving violently, and his pectoral muscles seemed to be engorged with blood, making people wonder if the fragile buttons on his chest would stop working immediately.
"Ahem, no, I just choked on my coffee. It's okay. And I don't hate what you said. It's just normal banter between good friends."
The man finally finished coughing and said this, but while saying this he didn't dare look at the young man at all, he kept staring at the coffee stains on his body.
Fortunately, his tone was relatively relaxed, as if he really meant it.
The young man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. I thought the joke was over. But Jiu Ge, do you want to change your clothes? I just washed your shirt yesterday, so it should be dry by now."
"...You don't actually have to do housework. I can wash it myself."
The man's ears turned red again after hearing this, and he spoke in an unstable voice.
"It's just a matter of convenience. Brother Jiu, you're so busy with work, and I occasionally accept your food. I'm kind of supported by you. I just help with washing clothes and cooking meals. I don't wash your underwear. Why are you so shy?"
The handsome young man said with a smile, and slapped the man on the shoulder, almost making the man roll off the sofa.
But even though he managed to steady himself in time, his flushed face and the buttons of his shirt that were about to burst revealed his miserable state.
It even feels like if you say something to him, he'll probably explode on the spot in front of them.
Fortunately, the young man did not continue talking like this. After turning around and confirming that the man was okay, he let the man talk to him in his coffee-stained clothes with a puzzled look on his face.
While these two were chatting about software chips and youth research systems, three roommates were sitting in the booth next to them, each with a more confused expression than the other.
After they finally came to their senses, the first thing they looked at was Gu Yan, who had just said that the two were probably just friends playing around.
The eldest young master was stunned for a long time before he squeezed out a word through gritted teeth.
"...I was mistaken, but it was the second brother who misled me first, otherwise I wouldn't have thought in the wrong direction. Besides, Mu Bai was the only one in my mind. How could I have thought that Ye Wangxing would say such words to other people!"
The more Gu Yan spoke, the more confident he became. After hearing what Gu Yan said, Li Qing felt that it made sense. He nodded and turned his gaze to the second brother again.
The second brother almost slammed the table and jumped up, but when he saw the two people next to him, he held back the scream that was about to come out of his mouth.
"...Don't look at me. That's definitely not the case between me and my older sons! We're a group of true friends who only want to be each other's fathers, not each other's wives!"
The second brother said in a decisive tone.
Li Qing looked at the other person deeply, and finally let him go.
But what is certain is that there is definitely something wrong between Ye Wangxing and that person.
After figuring this out, Gu Yan's expression became somewhat ferocious.
He immediately told his roommates about Ye Wangxing and his uncle and cousin.
"...If I hadn't seen that lunch box, I wouldn't have realized those two were my relatives."
Gu Yan said with gritted teeth.
Li Qing also nodded seriously. Although they had only been together for more than a year, they had a good relationship. They really had to ask Ye Wangxing about this matter to see if they could get him back on track.
Gu Yan also nodded. Although he felt like he had forgotten something, he thought it shouldn't be something important. So he also began to discuss how to question Ye Wangxing in the evening.
So that night, the second brother, who already knew the situation, asked a soul-searching question to the handsome young man who had just returned from school.
"—So, Fourth Brother, what is your relationship with those three? Are you lying to them?"
Gu Yan, who was standing aside, had an even more gloomy expression.
He would never let his family members get hurt, not even Ye Wangxing.
When the handsome young man heard their questions, he was stunned at first. After understanding the situation and knowing that his roommates already knew about this, he blinked his eyes and said in confusion.
"I didn't lie to them, did I?"
Looking at the young man's expression, Li Qing couldn't help but ask, "Then how did your fiancé and your childhood engagement come about..."
"That parent knows everything? And didn't I tell you before, Gu Yan, that those two identities were weighed by the adults in their family?"
The young man looked at Gu Yan, who had just had an expression of accusation on his face, scratched his head and asked.
Gu Yan looked bewildered: "...I forgot, it shouldn't be a big deal."
He just remembered getting angry.
Li Qing and the second brother on the side: ...
Now they finally understood why Mu Baitian was angry with Gu Yan every day.
They really want to beat someone up now.
When Ye Wangxing saw that Li Qing and Lao Er looked like they were about to hit someone, he quickly stopped them, then moved his own chair and sat down, then began to talk to his roommates one by one while counting on his fingers.
"The Pei family's situation is a bit complicated, so I won't go into the details. Anyway, due to some contractual relationships, I have a fiancé. He's also looking after the inheritance, so my family knows about it. I take care of him because his company happens to be close to our school. He hasn't been eating well recently, and I discovered that when I was chatting with him."
The young man raised a finger and a look of understanding appeared on Li Qing and the second brother's faces.
"Then the childhood marriage of Gu Yan's cousin was arranged by my mother and Pei Shi's mother. They were best friends, so it could be considered an arranged marriage. However, it was just a joke between the adults."
As he spoke, he raised another finger.
"Finally, there's Jiu Ge. Just like I said back then, he's really just the brother my family supported. As for those words, they were just teasing him."
The handsome young man said this with a little excitement on his face.
"Let me tell you, Jiu-ge is actually quite shy. He'll blush if he says anything."
The other three recalled the powerful aura that person had cast upon them when the misunderstanding hadn't been resolved...
They chose to reserve their opinion on Ye Wangxing's words.
However, Li Qing and the second brother still felt a little guilty when they saw Ye Wangxing's innocent face.
It seems that everyone had a normal relationship, but it was broken into this state because of their dirty thoughts. However, we can't blame them for this, because it was someone around who misled them!
Thinking of this, Li Qing and Lao Er once again cast their deathly gazes at Gu Yan who was standing beside them.
Gu Yan knew that he was in the wrong, but he still felt a little unwilling to accept it. Although he was wrong, wasn't Ye Wangxing completely innocent?
Thinking of this, his stubborn temper came up and he immediately said to Ye Wangxing.
"Then can you guarantee that you don't have any improper thoughts about the three of them?"
"Ye Wangxing, Ye Wangxing, I heard that you deliver meals to them every few days!"
Li Qing and Lao Er immediately felt that Gu Yan was being a bit aggressive. Besides, what was the problem with just delivering a meal? Ye Wangxing refuted him with just one sentence, and made Ye Wangxing angry for no reason.
Thinking of this, Li Qing and Lao Er were about to stop Ye Wangxing to prevent a conflict from breaking out in the dormitory.
However, turning around...
The handsome young man was sitting there in silence, his mouth tightly shut.
...Even a fool could see that he was guilty.
The whole dormitory was plunged into awkwardness. There was even a rare night talk session that night. Everyone was silently waiting for the awkwardness to disappear.
However, Ye Wangxing was the only one who was not embarrassed.
He was looking at the system task panel and happily counting the attention points.
【Tasker Panel

Gender: [Male]
Age: [24]

Mission Progress: [0%]
Rewards: [10,000 attention points, 10 million small world currency, 8,000 grams of gold (can be brought to the real world)]]
Although they did not strive for a double salary in the mission of the previous world, the main system still gave them a bonus of attention value. Ye Wangxing planned to apply for a double salary again with his own achievements after the end of this world.
The system template upgrades and Yijiu's databases are not cheap, so he has to save some money for Yijiu when he returns home and upgrade him.
Ye Wangxing thought about it, and looking at his attention value, he couldn't help but start to calculate in his mind to see how these attention values could be distributed.
However, when he temporarily made a plan and turned around to see the task list, he couldn't help but frowned and then let out a long sigh.
Just by looking at the list, Ye Wangxing felt that he would probably not have an easy time in the next mission.
It is quite normal to stop these two from arguing, but how about stopping Gu Yan from going to the rooftop?
Although he now knew that the quest system's "stop" actually meant to prevent the plot from attracting too much attention, after all, ordinary questers had no way of going against the fate line, but...
How can he prevent Gu Yan from attracting other people's attention in this plot?
Did he just pull the other four people hand in hand and jump into the lake?
One of them went up to the rooftop and the other jumped into the lake, which completely diverted people's attention.
But if you think about it, you will know that this is not feasible. It does not conform to the rules and subsequent plans will be disrupted.
Ye Wangxing wailed and fell on the sofa.
Yijiu, who was standing by, protected his host as usual, preventing him from falling to the ground.
[…What should I do? If nothing else, should I have Sheng Jiu stand by and watch over me? No, no, that wouldn't make Sheng Jiu's character feel right, and it wouldn't help the rest of the story at all.]
Ye Wangxing thought about it for a long time and found that this and that didn't work, so he finally decided to improvise.
After determining this policy, Ye Wangxing sighed again and rolled around on the sofa. Although he knew that the mission in this world was difficult, he didn't expect it to be so difficult.
Ye Wangxing tightened his arms around the thing as he thought about it.
—Wait, what is he holding?
When Ye Wangxing came to his senses, he found that he was holding Yijiu's arm, and Yijiu was skillfully operating the data stream with one hand.
Ye Wangxing's whole body instantly stiffened like a frightened goat. He stood there frozen, holding Yijiu's arm, not moving at all, and even his breathing almost stopped.
She doesn't have the ability to easily seduce people like she does outside.
Especially when Yijiu seemed to have discovered something and turned to look at him, Ye Wangxing didn't even know how to let go, his mind went blank.
He could only hear Yijiu sighing softly, and then Yijiu turned his upper body around and made a gesture that was almost a hug.
Next second.
Ye Wangxing felt as if his neck was suddenly electrocuted, and his whole body immediately went limp, but his eyes were fixed on Yijiu's face which was very close to him.
Yijiu withdrew his hand from the back of his host's neck, and skillfully picked up his host, allowing him to fall safely and comfortably on him, then carefully placed him back on the sofa. He turned around and once again processed the data stream that he had not finished before.
——One of his arms was firmly covering Ye Wangxing’s waist to prevent him from slipping under the sofa.
"Host, you're too nervous. Take a break for now. Don't worry, if there's really no other way, I'll let those organisms debut and then move on to the Magic Mike show."
Yijiu looked at the alarm in his mind that was still flashing red, and decided to make a joke to liven up the atmosphere.
Unfortunately, his host didn't respond at all.
"It seems that this joke is not very funny, and the host still can't relax."
Yijiu frowned and looked at the alarm that was already completely red and thought.
Ye Wangxing certainly did not relax. His mind was now full of 19 - and the action of him knocking him down with one hand.
'Luckily, Yijiu knocked me down.' Ye Wangxing thought seriously. 'Otherwise, if I couldn't control myself and directly knocked Yijiu down, then it would depend on whether Yijiu's hands were faster or my mouth was faster.'
"——Although I think the main system's thunder is faster."
Ye Wangxing thought about this question all night, and it was not until he woke up the next morning that he realized he had fallen asleep.
However, he did not wake up naturally, but was woken up by Li Qing and Lao Er.
"——Mu Bai and Gu Yan jumped into the lake!"
Ye Wangxing, who just saw the mission last night: ...
No, this way of attracting attention is also plagiarized?
