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 his destiny line caused it?
But there has never been a task like this that suddenly grabs attention that suddenly appears on the fate line before?
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 this situation causes the mission to fail, the laws of this small world and the overall system will provide an explanation and compensation.]
Before Ye Wangxing asked why, he heard Yijiu say calmly.
[——If they don’t want me to come to them.]
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 also remembered something belatedly.
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, we'll still be working under them, so making things too awkward wouldn't be a good idea—so who's managing the rules? Can anyone in your company get in touch with them? It's best if everyone's happy. If the rules get out of hand and the intelligence they provide goes awry, it'll probably be a real headache for the overall system, too.
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 some point. 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 tasks required by the rules are not completed properly, it will also affect other taskers. There are not many taskers in the company who work diligently to begin with, so the system damage rate will be even higher...
What Ye Wangxing said made Yijiu a little confused, but after running the CPU a little, he understood that what Ye Wangxing said was probably about negotiating with the company, but the final goal was probably still the rules.
Yijiu didn't say anything, but just 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 there's no one 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 have a fight yesterday? Why is it 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. Does this require the cooperation of a biological body?]
Ye Wangxing listened to Yijiu's words, looked at the counselor who seemed to be about to make a sharp explosion, and 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, they'll tell the leadership. It might have gotten out before, but it's the end of the semester now.]
Ye Wangxing's tone was filled with exhaustion from someone who had seen through everything.
Rather than a young couple jumping into a lake and hugging each other in the safety of the waist-deep water, they would rather 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 exam papers and answers from the sophomores and juniors.]
[But what I'm most curious about now is how they became 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 what they both said, 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 to look at the two people still in the pool, and spoke to Yijiu in a very serious tone.
[Nineteen, it seems we've finally met our match—this one is even crazier than the last few!]
Gu Yan didn't know what Ye Wangxing was thinking. He was still immersed in the joy of reconciling with Mu Bai.
Even when he parted with Mu Bai under the coercion and inducement of the counselor, he did not lose his temper.
It was just so sticky that it was a little hard for my roommates to handle.
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 had indeed not 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 out directly.
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're always like this, trying to get away with just 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 irritated by Mu Bai's words, and his tone couldn't help but become a little heavier: "Mu Bai, can you please 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 much 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, and 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, one in front and one behind. Without saying a word, Gu Yan jumped in. The water was icy cold, and Gu Yan suddenly sobered up a lot. But 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, and felt angry and anxious. He gritted his teeth and jumped in as well.
With a "splash", 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 he felt touched. He reached out and took Mu Bai's hand, and his tone softened: "Mu Bai, I really care about you. Please don't be angry, okay?"
Mu Bai looked at Gu Yan's wet face, and his anger subsided a lot. He lowered his head, his voice choked with sobs: "Gu Yan, can you pay more attention to me 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 never 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. I jumped down and he jumped down too. It turns out that he still can't leave me."
Gu Yan said this, feeling a little proud.
He was completely unaware that his roommates were almost speechless.
"Do you think he can really react? How much of a blow will his jumping into the lake cause to the instructor's bonus?"
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 what was happening. The last time he ordered takeout for Mu Bai, he insisted the delivery guy come into the school. Doesn't our school have a dedicated takeout point? He insisted on having it delivered to the dormitory building. After finally paying extra, the delivery guy dressed up as a college student and delivered it to the dormitory. But Mu Bai burst into tears when he saw that the delivery guy didn't have the classic bunny ears."
The second brother said pointedly, "He's just like the domineering CEO in the novel. Without saying anything, he gave me a bad review. I gave the reward I promised him, but it's not enough to cover the compensation."
"I'm wondering why there's a rumor going around at school that when a delivery guy picks up something from our school, we have to ask if it's a couple ordering something, and if so, we hesitate for a while before picking it up."
Li Qing said with a twitching mouth, this must have left a huge psychological shadow on the delivery guy.
"Although couples in the honeymoon phase are said to despise each other, I never thought that people could despise me 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 dorm. I was woken up at 5:30 in the morning. I'm convinced by him. I'm just glad that no one in our dorm is grumpy when getting up."
Li Qing complained that his resentment towards Gu Yan had reached its peak.
The second child was not much better, and he was also exuding a low mood on the way back to the dormitory.
Fortunately, Gu Yan was still immersed in his feelings and kept sending short messages to Mu Bai. Even if the other party did not respond, he was 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 each other emoticons.
The expressions of the others became even more disgusted, but he didn't care at all. He continued this activity until noon. He didn't put down his phone until 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 casually asked, "Old Four, where are you going?"
The handsome young man didn't even look up as he continued to organize the things in his hands. He said with a cheerful tone, "I'm going 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 uncles and nephews. 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 on WeChat Moments to show off - what others have, his boyfriend must have 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 it's a good opportunity to 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 roommate's reasonable request, just like today.
"Okay, come with me later."
Gu Yan smiled immediately and 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 borrow the kitchen there.
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 wasn't until Ye Wangxing took him into a building, took the elevator, and finally stopped in front of a door that Gu Yan couldn't help but ask, "Old Four, where is this?"
Ye Wangxing took out his key and opened the door, saying 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, so 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 skillfully 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 thinking about it, 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 flat.
The living room's floor-to-ceiling windows offer panoramic views of the city, with sunlight streaming in, illuminating the simple yet luxurious furniture. The open kitchen is fully equipped and even has a bar. The space exudes a modern feel while exuding a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Gu Yan stood at the door, unable to come 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 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 you are rich. It will easily arouse others' jealousy."
Gu Yan frowned, feeling a little disapproving: "What's there to be jealous of? Besides, it's just a large flat, what's there to hide?"
The handsome young man looked at him with 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 felt that there was no point in talking to Gu Yan about this. So he turned 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, with bookshelves filled with 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.
If he saw it correctly, in addition to various electronic components, the workbench also had soldering irons, solder wire, heat shrink tubing, hot air guns... and so on, and even a multimeter!
Gu Yan's eyes widened in disbelief. He turned to look at Ye Wangxing, his tone tentative: "Fourth Brother, 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. 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, I don't have the same ability to make money as him, I can only research some small things to give him."
Gu Yan fell silent again.
Although he knew that there was definitely something wrong between Ninth Brother and Ye Wangxing, and that the two were probably in an ambiguous relationship, he never expected that it had reached this point.
...It seems like his uncle and cousin have lost a bit.
"But he is just like that. If someone treats him well, he will be open-hearted 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 wanted in it?
Even if he is a benefactor, he wouldn't be so careful as to choose a Dewei electric drill for the other person!
However, Ye Wangxing seemed completely oblivious to Gu Yan's doubts and continued to work in the kitchen. Gu Yan couldn't ask any more questions, so he suppressed his doubts and began to prepare snacks for Mu Bai.
However, due to 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 Su.
Gu Yan held up his cell phone, feeling somewhat unconvinced, but as he watched the handsome young man with his back to him, the sugar threads in his hand floating in the air along with the powder, and his narrow waist tied by the apron looking both beautiful and powerful, 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 turned around and 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, but started to prepare the dragon beard pastry with concentration and clumsiness.
However, after wrapping it 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 solid, and couldn't help sighing.
"Old Four, if you give this dragon beard pastry to someone, they'll definitely be caught."
Ye Wangxing smiled and said nothing, but concentrated on dividing the dragon beard crisps into three portions. Each portion had a different amount of sugar and the packaging was also unique.
The sweetest one was carefully packaged by him in a way that was most convenient to carry, and it was obviously prepared specifically 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? And why are you using so many different sugar amounts?"
The handsome young man smiled and said, "After all, we have to deal with different occasions, so different sugar amounts are normal."
Gu Yan nodded, but his curiosity only grew. 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 and snowflake crisps.
Since he can’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 difficulty to Gu Yan, who was standing in front of the kitchen counter with shining eyes.
"Are you sure you want to add pork floss to the snowflake pastry and dragon beard pastry?"
Gu Yan said confidently.
"Don't worry, Lao Si's pork floss is also sweet, but it's a little more salty, so it might have a different flavor."
The handsome young man sighed silently and felt sorry for the protagonist in his heart.
'May Buddha bless him.'
Gu Yan didn't know what the handsome young man was thinking. He was still working on his masterpiece. After he finally finished it, he immediately picked up the box and prepared to set off.
Ye Wangxing naturally followed him 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 amiss - the direction Ye Wangxing was heading was not the direction of the company where his uncle and cousin worked.
Of course, it’s not in 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?
unless……
Gu Yan quickly waved his hands, secretly cursing himself for thinking too much. Two people usually couldn't handle it, so how could there be a fourth person?
Ten minutes later.
Looking at the tall young man standing at the door 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!”
