Chapter 18: Everyone’s Nervous (XVIII) Click 1 to hear my revenge plan…
Some people on the Internet are impossible to communicate with.
Zhang Deng finally understood everything, but there are also many people who are very kind and wonderful. He has received many private messages comforting him these days.
Many people reminded him to keep an eye on Wei Yuanye and not let him do anything stupid.
Zhang Deng looked at Wei Yuanye, who had just finished his morning run and was sitting on the sofa eating breakfast, and was speechless.
He swiped casually and saw a video someone had posted -
"A female senior student from Binda University is missing. She is 23 years old, 163cm tall, and weighs 49kg. She was wearing a pink jacket when she disappeared. A generous reward is offered for any information leading to her disappearance."
Zhang Deng said, "Binda, it's quite close to us."
Wei Yuanye had finished eating and was packing up, so he didn't respond.
Zhang Deng didn't care and said, "Huh? This girl looks familiar."
"I've seen her before, haven't I?" Zhang Deng asked. "Where was she?"
Zhang Deng has a mild case of face blindness. Unless the person has a very distinctive appearance, he usually can't remember their appearance.
When he went for a consultation before, the psychiatrist said that it was due to attention distraction caused by mental illness. Most patients will have this complication. It does not usually affect work and study, but it is very strenuous in daily life.
Zhang Deng once saw some patients who heard the same sentence three times but still couldn't remember what the other person said, so they asked the question for the fourth time. Zhang Deng thought it was very scary at the time, but later he controlled it well and it didn't get to such a serious level.
Zhang Deng feels that he is like a goldfish, but this is also a good thing for him. He doesn’t care about many things. One reason is that he doesn’t have the energy to care, and the other is that his memory is not very good and he always forgets.
Wei Yuanye came over, took a look, and said, "I don't know him."
"Oh," Zhang Deng said without giving it much thought, "never mind."
"How's the novel coming along?"
"Huh?" Zhang Deng didn't expect him to care about his writing. He immediately laughed and said happily, "I just wrote the beginning."
Wei Yuanye said, "Let me take a look."
Zhang Deng said, "Really?"
To be honest, it was such a surprise. Just the fact that he cared about Zhang Deng was already a surprise, and Wei Yuanye actually wanted to watch it.
Zhang Deng only wrote the first chapter, and Wei Yuanye quickly finished reading it. He said, "Tell me next time you finish it."
Zhang Deng looked at him expectantly. Wei Yuanye saw his expression, thought for a moment, and said, "Very interesting."
Maybe "interesting" wasn't the perfect answer Zhang Deng wanted, but Wei Yuanye still felt quite satisfied with what he said. Zhang Deng said, "You're quite knowledgeable."
Zhang Deng has now given up hope of getting an apology from He Xiaoqiu.
After the live broadcast that day, Zhang Deng received a call from Liu Yan. He didn't want to answer it at first, but then he thought about it and realized that he hadn't done anything guilty, so he answered it anyway.
Liu Yan asked him for Wei Yuanye's contact information.
Zhang Deng said, "I don't have the right to give it to you."
Liu Yan: "He doesn't really think Xiao Qiu likes him, does he?"
"I don't know." Zhang Deng said.
Liu Yan took a deep breath and said on the other end of the phone: "Give him the phone."
Zhang Deng glanced at Wei Yuanye. Wei Yuanye gestured to answer the phone, but Zhang Deng refused, saying, "I don't want to give it to him."
"What did you say?"
Zhang Deng said, "It's not enough for me to be your mouthpiece, why do you have to drag others into this?"
"I've had enough," Zhang Deng said. "I've had enough of playing the supporting role in your love game. Wei Yuanye won't answer the phone, and he's certainly not your supporting role."
Liu Yan: "Light up the lights!"
Zhang Deng said, "Hang up."
After the phone call was hung up, no one called him again, and relatives and friends didn't even ask about him again. Everyone witnessed Zhang Deng's momentum of overturning the universe.
If Zhang Deng can't create this world, Wei Yuanye can, it's the same thing.
The public opinion on the Internet is still in a tug-of-war between the two sides. Some people are cursing fiercely, some are criticizing both sides, and some are crazy about Zhang Deng, thinking that Zhang Deng has a kind of stupid high intelligence.
These people frantically urged Zhang Deng to start broadcasting, but Zhang Deng had already developed PTSD and refused to start.
The only annoying thing these days is that Wei Yuanye has become busy.
He has been taking longer and longer morning runs recently, sometimes he doesn't come back until almost eleven o'clock. When he goes shopping for groceries in the afternoon, he doesn't even mention taking Zhang Deng with him, and he stays there for an hour or two.
Zhang Deng asked, "What on earth have you been doing?"
"There's some work to do," Wei Yuanye didn't avoid his question. "There's some work to do."
Zhang Deng asked doubtfully, "Isn't your task to me? What else is there to do?"
"It's hard to say," Wei Yuanye said, "I definitely went to work."
Zhang Deng said, "Well, you didn't do anything criminal, did you?"
"Well," Wei Yuanye added, "the laws of your world can only constrain me, not punish me."
Zhang Deng looked at him suspiciously; "Did you really commit a crime?"
"Did you steal something?" Zhang Deng tried to feel his pocket. "You didn't steal the money to buy the car, did you?"
Wei Yuanye took his hand and raised it above his head: "No."
Zhang Deng stared into his eyes and saw no sign of lying.
Zhang Deng said, "Okay, let me go."
Wei Yuanye: "Beg me."
Zhang Deng: “…”
Wei Yuanye was just joking. He knew Zhang Deng's character, so he didn't make things difficult for him and let go of his hand. Zhang Deng said, "That's very bad behavior."
Wei Yuanye nodded in agreement and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
When Wei Yuanye went in to take a shower, his cell phone on the coffee table rang.
When Wei Yuanye's phone vibrated, Zhang Deng felt anxious about the vibration, so he had to pick it up. Seeing the number on it, which was from the same city, Zhang Deng shouted, "It's your number."
Wei Yuanye reached out a wet hand from the bathroom, took the phone in, and said, "Why are you making it so mysterious?"
He turned around and walked into the room. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye. He picked up Wei Yuanye's shoes and saw that there were indeed dried dark red marks on the uppers.
When Wei Yuanye came out, Zhang Deng was still writing. Once he got into the zone, he would become quiet. Wei Yuanye sat down, wiped his hair, and replied to the message on his phone. Zhang Deng suddenly looked up and said, "Wei Yuanye, I want to tell you something."
Wei Yuanye raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
Zhang Deng said: "You——"
Zhang Deng said sternly, "Your shoes are dirty. It's time to buy new ones. Last time we agreed that I would buy you new clothes. I can buy them for you, but you can't ask me to buy something that expensive too."
Wei Yuanye: "Is that all?"
"Whatever." He didn't care.
Zhang Deng: "When are you free?"
Wei Yuanye said: "Any time is fine."
Zhang Deng didn't believe it. He had clearly acted very busy recently, but Wei Yuanye really came back at around eight o'clock the next morning and didn't go out again for the entire morning.
Zhang Deng was quite happy. He had been spending the mornings alone recently and felt a little empty. He tidied himself up for a rare occasion, and the two of them went out together before ten o'clock.
Zhang Deng repeatedly warned: "You can't buy anything too expensive. I'm unemployed now."
"What's the budget?" Wei Yuanye asked.
Zhang Deng gritted his teeth and said, "Five thousand yuan."
It was already very generous. Wei Yuanye smiled and then quickly disappeared.
It was the same mall as last time. Before entering, Wei Yuanye received several calls. Zhang Deng asked, "Why are you getting so many calls lately?"
"Huh?" Wei Yuanye put away his phone, followed him, and said, "I made some bad friends outside."
Zhang Deng said fiercely: "Men become bad when they have money."
Wei Yuanye agreed very much and said, "Indeed."
"Don't cause me any trouble," Zhang Deng said, feeling a little worried. "I really believe you were busy with work and didn't ask."
Wei Yuanye: "You can ask."
Zhang Deng: “?”
"Ask whatever you want," Wei Yuanye said, "I won't tell you anyway."
Zhang Deng: "Don't abuse your dry humor!"
"Hot humor." Wei Yuanye pointed at his mouth, "Why else are you laughing?"
Zhang Deng was almost annoyed to death by him. He had never seen anyone more annoying than Wei Yuanye.
He was complaining about Wei Yuanye when he looked up and saw an old acquaintance, his colleague Xiao Deng.
Zhang Deng hadn't seen this person for nearly a month, which also reminded Zhang Deng that he had been unemployed for almost a month.
Zhang Deng first felt that he was a little decadent, and then he felt annoyed when he saw this person.
Xiao Deng was also stunned when he saw him. He was shopping with his friends. Both of them looked at the two of them, and Xiao Deng made a very disdainful expression.
Zhang Deng wanted to pull Wei Yuanye away, but Xiao Deng said, "You really are a wealthy man on the list."
"Mind your own business." Zhang Deng didn't want to explain.
Xiao Deng said, "Hey, did you know the editor-in-chief was fired?"
Zhang Deng really didn't know about this. He turned around and glanced at Xiao Deng, who immediately understood. He sneered and said, "It seems you don't know. You're doing pretty well."
"He had elderly parents and young children at home, and his wife was a stay-at-home wife. It's tragic that he died," Xiao Deng said. "You're quite impressive."
Zhang Deng said, "You're pretty good too. Send my video to He Xiaoqiu."
Xiao Deng didn't expect him to know he was the one who did it. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Why are you pretending to be so noble? It's disgusting."
Wei Yuanye asked, "Who is this?"
Xiao Deng looked at Wei Yuanye and said, "You don't even realize that he's playing you around like that."
Zhang Deng said, "If you're envious, you can go and play."
Wei Yuanye asked again: "Who is this?"
Zhang Deng said, "My former colleague."
Xiao Deng felt that Wei Yuanye was indeed as handsome as in the video, and he was such a perfect match that he couldn't help but look Wei Yuanye up and down.
Xiao Deng really hates Zhang Deng. Because of Zhang Deng, he is now being ostracized and marginalized in the unit. This was clearly Zhang Deng's treatment before. Now that Zhang Deng is gone, it's his turn, but why is Zhang Deng living so well?
"Bitches are just pretentious." Xiao Deng expressed his opinion.
Wei Yuanye asked Xiao Deng: "How did you get here?"
Seeing how friendly he was, Xiao Deng felt a little embarrassed. He said in confusion, "Of course I'm driving. What's wrong?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes. Wei Yuanye punched him in the face with lightning speed, and Xiao Deng fell straight back.
Suddenly, screams rang out in the mall.
"Someone's being beaten!"
Zhang Deng, Xiao Deng's friends, and Xiao Deng were all stunned. It took Xiao Deng a long time to react. He touched his nose and saw blood on his hand. He screamed, "Ah——"
Wei Yuanye stood above his head and glanced at him. Xiao Deng's voice disappeared completely after seeing Wei Yuanye's eyes. He was scared silly.
Zhang Deng then realized that Wei Yuanye asked "Who is this person" twice just to confirm whether he could fight.
Zhang Deng looked at Wei Yuanye blankly: "What should we do?"
"Call the police," Wei Yuanye said frankly, "and pay compensation."
Zhang Deng glanced at Xiao Deng and asked him, "Can we not call the police?"
Xiao Deng was still lying on the ground, looking at the ceiling. Blood kept flowing into his throat and he had to keep swallowing.
A lot of people had gathered around. Zhang Deng was afraid that Wei Yuanye would hit someone again, so he held Wei Yuanye with one hand and helped Xiao Deng up with the other, saying, "Can you... not call the police?"
Xiao Deng stared at him blankly, still immersed in Wei Yuanye's eyes just now, and even felt a little trembling.
Wei Yuanye was forced to squat down by Zhang Deng. Zhang Deng pressed his head down and said, "We apologize to you."
"Can I pay you back?" Zhang Deng said humbly, "Don't call the police."
Xiao Deng looked at Wei Yuanye, and saw him raise his head and look at him, and then he started shaking again.
Wei Yuanye wanted to tell Zhang Deng that it was okay to call the police, but Zhang Deng was so engrossed in the conversation that he couldn't open his mouth.
Xiao Deng said, "It's broad daylight...in the open air, and you're going to hit me like this?"
Zhang Deng wanted to say the same thing. In broad daylight, in the open air, Wei Yuanye was beating people up like that? He was a complete savage.
Moreover, Wei Yuanye beat people as if he was crazy, without any warning. He was talking one second and punched the next, making it impossible to defend against him.
Xiao Deng said: "I, I want to -"
He wanted to say that he was going to call the police, but he quickly calmed down. He was not stupid, he knew the rules of the world. Wei Yuanye could be so unscrupulous, he must have his reasons for being so unscrupulous.
If he called the police, it would only be a momentary gratification. Wei Yuanye could beat him in front of so many people. Wouldn't he retaliate against him even more after he came out of the police station?
What the people in the office said was indeed true. Zhang Deng did find a powerful man, so that's why she was so arrogant.
Xiao Deng quickly got up from the ground and wiped the blood from his nose. He said, "You've already begged me so much, and I'm also at fault in this matter. Forget it."
Zhang Deng: “Ah?”
He didn't expect Xiao Deng to be so easy to talk to. He asked in disbelief, "Really?"
Xiao Deng seemed to want to leave here more quickly than anyone else. He said, "I have something else to do."
Zhang Deng quickly pulled him: "No, let's go to the hospital first--"
Xiao Deng, however, shook his hand away and said angrily, "Don't touch me."
Zhang Deng let go of his hand and watched Xiao Deng run away.
Zhang Deng asked Wei Yuanye: "He is...what happened?"
Wei Yuanye said: "I guess he has forgiven you."
"Why would he forgive me?" Zhang Deng asked in confusion, "If he's going to forgive someone, it's you."
Wei Yuanye: "I think he has no problem with me."
Zhang Deng stood up, pulled him away from the crowd, and whispered, "I know you have a bad temper, but you should have done it where there are fewer people."
Wei Yuanye laughed and said, "It's not that we can't fight, but do we have to fight where there are fewer people?"
"It's best not to fight if you can," Zhang Deng said, expressing his truest thoughts. "But if you really can't control yourself, there's nothing we can do."
