Chapter 74
Ye Wangxing closed his eyes, his mind numb.
Good news, Ye Bai gave up on suicide.
Bad news, he still plans to fake his own death to wake up Worden.
A bunch of subsequent bloody plots whizzed through Ye Wangxing's mind.
After Ye Bai faked his death, Woden regretted it deeply, but when he found out that Ye Bai was not dead, he did something irreversible to Ye Bai out of anger.
What happened is that after Ye Bai faked his death, Woden was filled with regret and committed suicide, which led to Ye Bai being filled with regret 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 filming with Yijiu during this period that all this is on my mind?"
When Ye Wangxing thought about how he had dragged Yijiu around and acted everywhere in order to monitor Ye Bai, and how he had written countless scripts and lost a lot of brain cells, 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. Although the sunlight outside the study window was extremely dazzling in the morning, he felt that the future was bleak.
The 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 huge change for the fate line. The fate line of a small world of this difficulty will not play word games.]
[If Ye Bai was told to commit suicide, then he really would. And now that Ye Bai has agreed to fake his death, it means things are looking up. After all, as the difficulty of the mission increases, the fate of the small world and the protagonist's thoughts will also become more compatible.]
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 to have problems.
Besides...
Ye Wangxing reflected on it and found that he was indeed a little arrogant because the previous events had gone smoothly. Otherwise, something beyond his expectations would not have happened and he would have been in a panic to make up for it everywhere.
In fact, as long as we wait and see, and since Yijiu has replaced the intelligent robots around Ye Bai, Ye Bai will definitely not be in danger of life.
"It seems like it just happened to be going smoothly."
Ye Wangxing thought a little embarrassedly, turned around and expressed his gratitude to Yi.
[Yijiu! What would I do without you?]
Yijiu listened to his host's words of gratitude. They were obviously normal words, but for some reason he still felt as if his host was rubbed by something furry.
Especially my own CPU feels like it has been installed with a somatosensory module, and I have an itchy feeling.
…It was like in the previous world, when a passing golden retriever rubbed its head against it.
Ye Wangxing didn't know that Yijiu's CPU was starting to heat up. He looked at Ye Bai in front of him and tried to regain his strength.
Isn't it just Ye Bai who wants to fake his death? If the Emperor doesn't agree, Ye Bai won't be able to 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 wake up. 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 worn away.
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 considered that if you fake your own death, it would mean that our family is deceiving the emperor! And you still want to hold a funeral? His Majesty must have known about the death of the Minister of Finance's youngest son. You are forcing our family to death!"
Ye Wangxing listened to Ye's father's voice and 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 Warden. He looked directly 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 besides, His Majesty the Emperor has already agreed."
Before Ye's father's slap could reach Ye Bai, Ye Bai threw out a deafening thunderbolt.
"What!" X3
Ye's father and mother sat on the sofa, Ye Wangxing stood behind them as if they were holding 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 had gone to see her and wanted to give Woden a chance. However, His Majesty was not very happy. He just asked Ye Bai if he had made up his mind. After getting Ye Bai's confirmation, she nodded and agreed to this matter.
However, Ye Bai understood from the puzzled expression on His Majesty's face when he looked at him that His Majesty seemed confused as well. Why did he have such an idea?
Ye Bai understood that His Majesty had done his utmost for Woden, and she had really done her utmost, but the future of the empire really could not allow a king like Woden to hold power.
He also understood the confusion His Majesty had 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 about it, 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 personalities in reality.
——Ye Bai’s symptoms were much milder than that person’s. At least Ye Bai had 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 tormented that he couldn't sleep until 3:00 in the morning, and had 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 literary male protagonist in the short article begins to regret, he must be the most insane one.
By then, the emperor would probably naturally remove him from the position of crown prince.
But Warden is no longer the prince, and the Chancellor's family and the vests created by Yijiu and others can completely suppress the other party.
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 really 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 could Woden have with Ye Bai?", he saw his eldest son come between him and his wife and whispered 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 reason to move his position."
When Ye's father heard Ye Wangxing's calm and steady voice, he also came to his senses from why his son was so disappointing.
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 exchanged a glance with Director Fei beside him. At the same time, he closed his eyes, sighed deeply, 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, there is Ye Wangxing who can 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 Ye's father was not happy at all, he just felt a little suffocated.
Father Ye's eyes swept across his eldest son's bracelet, necklace, new earrings and the new ring on his index finger.
These accessories are quite in line with his temperament and are also very expensive.
——If it was expensive and not sent by his eldest son’s mistresses, Ye’s father would be even happier.
Father Ye waved his hand and drove his other troublesome son out of the room. Then he turned around and pulled Director Fei to start complaining.
"...I don't know if it's because of our mom's upbringing or if it's just bad genes, but why are we both so emotionally entangled? You and I weren't like this when we were young."
He is the one who controls the financial power of the entire empire, and he always looks serious in public, but Father Ye now looks miserable in front of his wife.
"It's okay with 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? Having a few ex-boyfriends isn't a big deal, but why does he keep hanging around with them every time they break up? He has his own delusions, so why do those people join in the fun? Don't they think Wangxing is playing tricks on them?"
Father Ye's expression was almost as painful as His Majesty's every time he saw his idiot son getting into trouble again.
"Recently, when I went to the Ministry of Finance, I was afraid 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."
Mr. Ye 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 control her expression steadily.
...Although judging from the pain that flashed across 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 other scumbag men 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 could Ye Wangxing's incident be considered as not harming others? The four people at the royal banquet were almost crying.
"Ahem," Director Fei coughed and said helplessly after seeing Ye's father's incredulous expression, "Well, actually, the Ye Wangxing incident does have some issues, but it's not a big problem."
Before Ye's father could refute in disbelief, he heard Director Fei whisper, "After all, Mom's incident 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 probably takes 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 wasn't that exaggerated—but I was definitely 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 discerning. After they discovered she had so many ex-boyfriends, they all left. Unlike Ye Wangxing, who had good taste, none of the four of them planned to quit."
Director Fei's expression was strangely relieved.
"At least when I ask the military and the royal family for money and people, I won't have to worry about not being able to find them."
Just as he was about to say, "You call this good vision," Ye's father 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 the holographic image 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?"
Elina 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 on his face.
"I asked you to go to His Majesty, but I didn't expect His Majesty to 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 confidence for Ye Bai to confess to his parents.
Ye Bai said angrily.
"Your Majesty wouldn't think my plan is ridiculous, as you say. After I explained the situation to His Majesty, he nodded in agreement and even said he would help keep an eye on Woden!"
Looking at Ye Bai's self-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, without expressing any doubt or surprise at your plan, gave it her full and happy assent?"
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 fell strangely silent.
But he was silent for a while. When Elena sat down on the sofa like a peacock that had won a fight, he raised his head and said stubbornly.
"Whether Her Majesty truly agrees or not, she has already agreed. Please help me find out if my plan is feasible."
Elena and Martha looked at each other and sighed. They could see that Ye Bai was determined to achieve his goal this time, just like every time he wanted to run to Warden.
When it comes to the matter of Warden, no one around can beat 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, which makes Martha and Elena finally agree to help Ye Bai see his plan.
But Elina and Martha naturally didn't agree to it for free.
"—You have to tell us what progress your brother and those people have made during this period."
Elina and Martha gossiped, but in return they received a bewildered look from Ye Bai.
"How come I didn't know about the progress of my brother and those people?"
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 that happened between Ye Wangxing and those four people. Whether it was their emotional experience or their interactions on the capital star during this period, they were all pulled out.
Ye Wangxing’s social media posts are now filled with people begging 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 trying 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 just 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 difference were so obvious.
——I can only say that it was not Elena and Martha’s fault that they 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 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 Elina and the others.
"When Ye Wangxing came back that day, he had a very exquisite ring on his index finger. I took a look and it was made by a master. The metal used is a very expensive liquid metal used in mechas! It also has protective functions."
Now Elina and Martha's expressions became serious.
They quickly took out the information they had learned 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 be at school to get some materials that day, but I didn't notice my brother was there too. I only know he came back happy that day with a bracelet on his hand, but his mouth was a little swollen."
Elina immediately said affirmatively.
"He kissed me! Prince Janus is quite capable!"
Martha beside her 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 very gentlemanly throughout, but before leaving, he left Ye Wangxing in a corner for a long time. When Ye Wangxing came out, he was almost cooked.
But Count Uno licked it, and for some reason he smiled happily at the corner of his broken mouth.
"I found out the other day that after I had dinner with you guys, my brother came back with a new earring in his ear. I asked him why he wanted to get 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.
Elina said excitedly.
"The last one! The last one! The day Vice President Semos called him to participate in the test of the new exoskeleton!"
"I went there with my mom that day, and 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, and I didn't know why he suddenly buttoned his shirt."
Ye Bai became more and more excited as he spoke, and when he got to this point, his expression showed 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 Samos 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 ascend to 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 attending his brother's birthday party and not forgetting to try to please him, his expression quite painful.
——No, if you want to give gifts, just give them and ask my brother which one he likes, but why are you asking me about me too!
Ye Bai: Just fake your death!
