Chapter 110
"—Ye Wangxing definitely has bad intentions. Look, when he gave you these watches, he used the same rhetoric the same way!"
Gu Yan spoke at the top of his lungs on the sofa at home.
On the side, Mr. Gu, Ms. Pei and the two parties involved in the incident sat on the sofa with gloomy faces. The atmosphere was depressing and suffocating.
Ms. Pei kept winking at Gu Yan, asking him to stop talking like that. But Gu Yan didn't care. In his mind, he was a hero who had saved his uncle and cousin.
His uncle and cousin were such good people! They were actually cheated by the same person, and he was his roommate. How could he not persuade them and make them sober up so as not to fall into the trap?
It was rare for Gu Yan's thoughts to be normal, but unfortunately, sometimes, some things were like bullets from youth, which would hit him between the eyebrows at a certain moment.
For example, now.
"Gu Yan, don't jump to conclusions. Wang Xing is actually a very nice person. It's just that sometimes he cares about others without any boundaries, but that also shows how simple he is. Those snacks you had before were also given by him. Although they were not valuable, they showed his thoughtfulness - just like this watch."
Gu Yan tried his best to persuade him for half an hour, but in return, all he got was a speech from his dear, rational uncle who was a big shot in the business world of City A, as if he had been cursed.
He even felt that the speech seemed a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere half an hour ago.
But he couldn't remember it now, because he saw his uncle looking at the watch on his hand with tender eyes, and he was almost angry to have a heart attack.
And then his dear cousin dealt him another heavy blow.
"Wang Xing...it's not what you said. He didn't take a penny from me. He earned the materials for this watch by working part-time. Don't talk about him like that."
It was obvious that he could only compose 6 words in three days, but in order to defend Ye Wangxing, he squeezed out such a long paragraph.
And from the expression on my cousin's face that was almost flushed, it could be seen that it was quite difficult for him to say this.
But the difficulty could not stop him from wanting to defend Ye Wangxing.
Gu Yan looked at his uncle who had a serious expression, and at his cousin who looked disappointed in him, and suddenly realized that he seemed to be the one who was neither popular nor unpopular.
He obviously just meant well!
Even when Gu Yan was about to be suffocated to death, Ms. Pei beside him finally came to the rescue of her son. She stopped her husband who was about to start playing a classic song about carrying his wife on his back.
She still had a smile on her face, and with a glance, Mr. Gu beside her immediately put away his phone and stopped preparing to laugh at his son's behavior - although he felt that this could not be considered as ridicule, but at most revenge.
There was a quarrel between his son and his young boyfriend. He and his wife tried to persuade him many times, but in the end, they both became bad people.
Now, his son finally gets a taste of what he and his wife felt back then.
Ms. Pei didn't care about her husband. She could tell what he was thinking at a glance. This could be considered as the sin her son had committed before.
However, this matter still needs to be resolved, otherwise the Pei family cannot be deceived like this.
A dark light flashed in Ms. Pei's eyes. Then she pressed Gu Yan, who was about to say something, into the sofa with his mouth covered, and looked at her brother and nephew with a smile.
"Gu Yan, that brat, just talks nonsense, but he's also just too concerned. He doesn't really mean to blame the Ye family kid, but do you want to give the Ye family kid a call and ask?"
Ms. Pei said with a smile, naturally turning the topic to them.
Her younger brother and nephew, who were sitting opposite her, did not refute anything like Gu Yan did, but instead listened to her opinions after thinking about it.
——Although it could also be because of the scene where a grown man couldn't break free from Ms. Pei's grasp, but...
It's good that it works. Don't be like Gu Yan, who has developed antibodies and is still struggling even when she holds him down. If she hadn't specially strengthened her muscles for long-term solo concerts, he would have really broken free.
The reactions of these two people also made Ms. Pei feel relieved. It seems that Gu Yan's love-brain behavior is really just a gene mutation of his own, and not inherited from their ancestors. As long as the words are not too intense like Gu Yan's, they can still talk to each other properly.
Ms. Pei thought optimistically.
The call was naturally made by Pei Yi, while Pei Shi sat there obediently, his eyes fixed on the phone in his uncle's hand.
The expression on his face was like that of a big cat who had discovered that his owner had a second baby.
Be ready to hit someone at any time.
Although Pei Yi had a smile on his face, judging from the strength with which he gripped the phone, he was not at peace in his heart.
After the call was made, the call was picked up after two beeps.
A clear voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello? Pei Yi? What's going on?"
This normal address and normal tone made Ms. Pei nod her head. It seemed that there was no ambiguous relationship between the two for the time being.
Ms. Pei naturally noticed Pei Shiye's relieved expression.
"Looking at the stars is a problem with the watch."
As Pei Yi spoke, he lowered his head, and his bangs covered the color in his eyes, making it difficult to see, but his voice was still sunny and positive.
For some reason, this scene made Gu Yan suddenly feel a chill in his heart. He lay obediently in the hands of his own mother, not daring to struggle.
Before Ms. Pei could wonder why her son suddenly stopped struggling, she heard Pei Yi continue.
"I went home for a family dinner today, and I saw Pei Shi also had a watch that looked a bit similar to mine."
Pei Yi's questions were also very skillful. He did not say it directly, but he found out that both he and Pei Shi's watches were given by Ye Wangxing.
He seemed to be using this attitude to test Ye Wangxing's thoughts.
Pei Shi on the side was even more nervous now. He silently clenched the watch on his hand and pursed his lips. Although he was a 1.9-meter-tall man, he sat on the sofa like a cat that was about to explode.
The others present couldn't help but tense up, their eyes all focused on that small phone. They were clearly a wealthy family, yet now they were being tormented like this by an ordinary person.
But the young man's voice on the other end of the phone sounded quickly, and he spoke directly as if without thinking.
"I gave Pei Shi that watch."
Pei Yi was stunned when he heard this, as if he couldn't believe that Ye Wangxing would say such a thing. On the other hand, Pei Shi's eyes suddenly burst into golden light, and he looked at the phone with shining eyes.
Gu Yan widened his eyes and looked at his phone in disbelief.
How could he say that? How could he say that?
If Ye Wangxing were so frank, wouldn't his previous behavior make him look like a clown?!
Ms. Pei was also a little surprised. She thought Ye Wangxing would lie to Pei Yi. But after thinking about it, Ms. Pei was relieved.
Since when did giving someone a watch mean you were going out with them? This isn't the 1970s or 1980s, when that was the norm. But now, giving a friend a small, homemade gadget isn't a big deal.
Although this positioning sounds a bit abnormal, it is actually quite practical.
Now it seems that the three young people just get along well with each other, and Ye Wangxing does not favor one over the other.
Although Mr. Gu didn't know what his wife was thinking, he keenly noticed that something was wrong with Pei Yi.
——Just like Mr. Li who went fishing with him but came up empty-handed the whole time.
It's the kind of dark aura that instantly emerges from a fish after it's been hooked.
Ye Wangxing on the other end of the phone seemed unaware of the many inner dramas going on in this family, and he was still talking happily.
"After all, I gave it to you, so you have to have it. We have such a good relationship, but..."
But halfway through his words, Ye Wangxing changed the subject and spoke with some doubt.
"I customized the dial and the case, and even adjusted your system. They're definitely not exactly the same. Pei Yi, how did you find out?"
Now the people at the scene started to get nervous again.
Ms. Pei, in particular, glared at Gu Yan fiercely.
It sounded like he was just giving two watches to a good friend, but Gu Yan made it look like this, and he even doubted his sincerity!
If Ye Wangxing knew that his family had been making random guesses about his thoughts, no matter how good-tempered he was, he would definitely be angry.
But before Pei Yi could say anything, the young man opposite comforted himself. His voice rose noticeably and he spoke happily.
"It's Pei Yi, you feel a bit similar, right? After all, although my design style looks different, people who are close to me can still notice it."
These words made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief.
However, unlike others who thought Ye Wangxing was really considerate, Mr. Gu also noticed the situation of his brother-in-law while having this idea.
After hearing Ye Wangxing's words, the gloomy aura on him disappeared instantly, and instead, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he finally raised his head and showed his eyes.
Ye Wangxing on the other end of the phone was still talking.
"...I originally thought that only Pei Shi could see it. After all, he was the one who taught me all these systems. If he couldn't see it, I would be angry. But I didn't expect that you, Pei Yi, could see it too. It's worth it that I specially adjusted the positioning system for you."
Ye Wangxing's words directly praised both of them. When both Pei Yi and Pei Shi heard this, there was obvious joy on their faces.
Especially Pei Shi, his face flushed instantly, and his delicate face was full of joy.
The two of them were in a good mood, and Mr. Gu and Ms. Pei also smiled. It seemed that the family dinner could finally begin safely.
Although Gu Yan felt a little awkward, he finally shut his mouth when he saw that his uncle and cousin were very happy.
Seeing that the storm was about to disappear into thin air, Ye Wangxing seemed to have thought of something, and he suddenly asked cautiously on the other end of the phone.
"... Pei Yi, you sounded a bit down when you called me just now. Maybe you guys don't like the watch face I customized?"
The two big men sitting on the sofa froze instantly.
Mr. Gu and Ms. Pei looked at each other at the same time.
'Oh no, it's over.'
Pei Yi and Pei Shi beside him finally coaxed the young man on the other side and made him hang up the phone happily. Then they turned around and glared at their nephew and cousin sitting on the sofa.
Gu Yan, who was really just being kind-hearted, was attacked by the eyes of his uncle and cousin: "..."
He now felt like the dumb squirrel whose position had been replaced by Ma Sanniang.
It was obvious that Ye Wangxing really had bad intentions towards them!
But unfortunately, neither Pei Yi nor Pei Shi believed what he said. They looked at him as if he was some kind of eternal sinner.
Everyone was very happy at the family dinner, except Gu Yan.
As a sinner, he not only had to toast to his uncle and cousin to apologize at this family dinner, but he couldn't even make the same toast twice, otherwise he would be glared at by his own mother.
However, Ms. Pei was happy to hear it and didn't feel that her son was suffering at all. What a joke. Ms. Pei and Mr. Gu suffered no less pain than anyone else in their relationship with Gu Yan. Even because of the relationship between his biological parents, Gu Yan would tell them some things that he couldn't tell others.
This also led to them being the two most backstabbed.
All the emotional pain that Mr. Gu and Ms. Pei had never experienced in their youth was now all paid back by Gu Yan alone.
And now that someone can finally punish Gu Yan, who is so love-brained, they are so happy that they can’t contain themselves.
As for the relationship between Pei Yi and Pei Shi?
The market value of the Pei family has exceeded that of the Gu family. Ms. Pei does not have the confidence to intervene. She still has to rely on the shares given to her by these two people to earn dividends.
To some extent, this can also be regarded as status determining the right to speak.
In some more feudal places, when they find out that the same-sex partner brought home by their children is a doctoral supervisor at a 985 university, they will only let that person sit in the seat of honor.
So, under the siege of the whole family, Gu Yan spent the day feeling extremely depressed.
The next day, when he returned to the dormitory, he immediately started to yell at Ye Wangxing and asked him to apologize to him.
If Ye Wangxing hadn't suddenly become so upright on the phone, would he have suffered what he did last night?
However, after he told Ye Wangxing everything that happened yesterday, he was faced with a confused expression.
"I did give them both watches, but who says giving a watch means you're dating someone? This isn't the 1970s or 1980s anymore."
The handsome young man said seriously, "I have a really good relationship with them, so after learning about this system, my first thought was to make something to give back to them. However, this positioning system wouldn't be suitable for making a necklace or ring; it's too ambiguous."
The handsome young man spoke with good reason and his roommates couldn't stand it anymore.
Even though Ye Wangxing had some feelings for Gu Yan's uncle and cousin, he never said it out loud. He just treated them well silently without asking for anything in return. He even paid for the gifts he gave to the two rich men out of his own pocket.
If the word "licking dog" was not unpleasant to say, they would have started making fun of Ye Wangxing a long time ago.
——Although there is no such thing as a dog licking three people at once.
Li Qing and the second brother froze for a moment when they thought of Gu Yan's uncle, cousin, and the senior student that day.
"But you do care about them, don't you? When you gave them the watches, I don't believe you really just thought of giving them to good friends! What's the point of pretending to be so upright?"
Gu Yan immediately said loudly. This was also what made him most angry yesterday. If it weren’t for Ye Wangxing’s sudden words, he wouldn’t have been glared at by his uncle and cousin for a whole day.
"..." Gu Yan's words silenced the handsome young man instantly. The righteous expression on his face disappeared, leaving only a fragile and somewhat pitiful look.
——It was in stark contrast to Gu Yan’s aggressive words.
"Tell me! What's going on?"
Li Qing and the second brother looked at each other and immediately planned to stop Gu Yan from questioning Ye Wangxing.
But at this moment, Ye Wangxing took the initiative to speak.
"It's like this..." He licked his dry lips and smiled a smile uglier than crying. "I do have some ulterior motives, but..."
"I don't dare show it. If I really say it, we won't even be friends anymore."
The young man's voice trembled slightly, and anyone could hear how sad he was.
Li Qing and the second brother no longer hid anything and just stared at Gu Yan to see what he had done to the fourth brother!
Ye Wangxing continued talking regardless of Gu Yan's dazed expression.
"As long as they are willing to accept my kindness, and can participate in their lives, even if it's not a very important position, I will be satisfied. And..."
There was a glint in the handsome young man's eyes, and he spoke softly.
"Whether it's family background, appearance, or even academics, I'm not the best. At most, I'm popular, but what does that mean?"
"They wouldn't like me at all, would they?"
As he spoke, there was a hint of tears in the young man's voice. Gu Yan was really at a loss.
His mouth opened and closed as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
He finally managed to utter a word, but was pushed aside by Li Qing and the second brother.
"Alright, alright, stop saying that. Your poor language skills would piss off even the most good-tempered person."
Li Qing kicked Gu Yan out of the dormitory with disgust and said to him, "Don't stay in the dormitory. If you really make the fourth child cry and you don't comfort him, then your boyfriend will get angry with you again. Go and comfort Mu Bai. You ended the phone call with him in the wrong position yesterday, and he quarreled with me and the second child all day."
After saying that, Gu Yan also stood outside the dormitory door, and then he heard a clang.
The door of the dormitory slammed shut in front of him.
Gu Yan: “…”
No, what does this have to do with him?
"——Ye Wangxing, you hurt me again!"
Ye Wangxing, who was being thought of by Gu Yan, was not as excited as before.
Because Yijiu didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, he was now holding Ye Wangxing seriously.
The kind that presses Ye Wangxing into his chest muscles.
Ye Wangxing had originally been brought out with some emotions by the script, but now he had suppressed them all. His mind was full of Yijiu, who was standing in front of him, wearing a white shirt with the top two buttons undone.
To be honest, Ye Wangxing really immersed himself in the script just now. When he wrote the script, he didn't really think too much about it. He just felt that this was more in line with the character's logic. But it wasn't until he performed it himself that he realized what was in line with the character's logic was in line with his emotional journey, right!
He really felt that there was no possibility between him and Yijiu, and he also felt that once he said this, based on Yijiu's understanding of him, Yijiu would really feel that the host's feelings would delay the host's next goal of returning home. So for his own sake, Yijiu would directly choose to change jobs.
Didn't he understand the logic behind Yijiu's behavior? He was like a smart refrigerator with a brain full of program modules, putting him, the host, first. But because of this, the tears in his voice when he said those words just now were real.
but……
Yijiu was like a surveillance camera on him. He had just finished this scene and was lying on the bed, telling his two roommates that he needed some quiet time. The next second, as soon as he entered the system space, Yijiu hugged him.
She also pulled him to sit on the sofa, without asking a single question, and just hugged him quietly, as if to comfort him.
And Ye Wangxing was indeed comforted.
——Who can think of those sad emotions when they are in the arms of their loved one and can feel his body temperature through a layer of cloth!
Ye Wangxing didn't scream on the spot, which was already enough for him to restrain himself. However, even so, his face turned red, and in order to cover it up, he subconsciously snuggled into Yijiu's arms.
And Yijiu was not unhappy, she just hugged him tighter.
However, if Ye Wangxing looked up, he would see countless streams of data flashing quickly in Yijiu's golden eyes.
Yijiu didn't understand why his host would be sad because of such a plot, but he would write this matter down and lock it directly into his core C drive, encrypt it, lock it and analyze it.
Then……
Hugging the host, providing human-like body temperature and heartbeat to help him gradually calm down.
Yijiu understood that what he needed to do now was not to say any big words, but just to hug the host quietly and let him know that he could protect him.
As long as the host has the confidence, he will slowly get out of it on his own.
but……
Yijiu looked at the alarm, whose emotions were becoming more intense, and silently held the host on his lap again.
Looking at the alarm that suddenly soared up another level, Yijiu tilted his head in confusion.
——Is it because the area of his physical contact is not large enough?
Fortunately, after his host held him for two hours, he finally calmed down.
Although the look in his eyes when he looked at him was still a little excited, he was able to have a normal conversation, which made Yijiu happily let the host continue with the next plot.
And Ye Wangxing, who was finally able to leave the system space...
"Today is another day to praise my self-control."
Ye Wangxing thought weakly.
Although he looked somewhat humiliated when he first left the system space, he soon came to his senses and his mood immediately improved a lot. Even his roommates noticed his change.
Seeing Ye Wangxing in a good mood helping them finish their meal and bringing them the express delivery, Li Qing looked at Ye Wangxing humming a song happily while looking at Gu Yan who was opening his bag of unknown tea, and muttered softly
"...It turns out that secret crush from before made him miserable. Look how good he is now. Everything is back to normal."
Li Qing really felt that Ye Wangxing had returned to normal. His previous melancholy look was not suitable for Ye Wangxing at all.
It turns out that love is really a tormenting thing.
Gu Yan threw aside the tea leaves in his hand that clearly had a stale smell. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke awkwardly while typing something on his phone.
"That's all. Just don't do anything to my uncle and cousin and pretend to be innocent."
Gu Yan said with a pout.
"Oh, our Young Master Gu also knows Bai Lianhua. I thought you couldn't tell who Mu Bai is."
Li Qing said in amazement.
——However, the next second, what greeted him was Gu Yan’s pillow.
"Don't use that kind of words to describe Mu Bai. You want to fight me, right?"
Looking at Gu Yan's ferocious look, Li Qing grabbed the pillow and wiped his face. Well, it seems that there is only one normal person in the dormitory.
Gu Yan looked at Li Qing's quiet appearance and did not add insult to injury. He just snorted and went back to typing on his WeChat. However, he was also thinking about Ye Wangxing in his heart.
"If it's just a secret crush, then it's nothing. As long as he can keep doing this, I don't care."
Gu Yan was thinking about this and was just about to transfer some money to the poor girl selling tea across the street when his WeChat rang twice.
Looking at the profile pictures of his uncle and cousin, Gu Yan suddenly had a bad feeling.
The next second, the bad premonition came true.
"I'm going to take Ye Wangxing to the horse farm tomorrow. Can you help me make a plan?"
"Go to the amusement park with Wangxing, and you, make a strategy."
When Gu Yan had just finished reading these two messages and had not yet reacted, the next message came.
These two pieces of news perfectly illustrate the blood relationship between the uncle and nephew.
"——You are Wangxing's roommate, you should know him, right?" X2
Gu Yan: ...
I know nothing!
