Yan Yirou was completely stunned when she received Gu Chenye's video request.
Didn't we contact each other by phone before?
Why did he suddenly want to video chat with her?
Yan Yirou held the phone as if it were a hot potato. She touched her face with her other hand, then looked down at her outfit. There was no way she could redo her makeup and dress up.
She simply answered the call.
The next second, Gu Chenye's handsome face appeared on the screen, though it looked a little pale.
Then she noticed he was wearing a hospital gown.
"Are you injured?" Yan Yirou asked with concern.
Gu Chenye shrugged, looking completely unfazed: "It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."
"You'd wear a hospital gown for a minor injury?" Yan Yirou clearly didn't believe her.
That's a good question.
Gu Chenye didn't intend to answer, and changed the subject, saying, "When are you going to tell your grandmother? Are you sure it's just over the phone, and you don't need me to come back and talk to her in person?"
"ah?"
Yan Yirou was stunned. She felt more and more that Gu Chenye was not normal. Something must have happened!
Gu Chenye looked at her expression: "What, you don't want me to go back?"
"Of course not!"
After regaining her senses, Yan Yirou quickly denied it and looked him over carefully: "Are you badly injured?"
Gu Chenye raised an eyebrow: "How can I talk to you when I'm seriously injured?"
“Alright.” Yan Yirou believed him, but she felt it was very unfortunate: “Third Young Master, my grandmother is already asleep. She doesn’t allow anyone to disturb her once she’s asleep. If you don’t listen, she will get angry.”
Gu Chenye snorted coldly: "What did you call me?"
Yan Yirou's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately changed her tune, saying, "Gu, Gu Chenye."
Should I call you by your full name?
Gu Chenye clicked his tongue and said nonchalantly, "Then I'll talk to her tomorrow."
"good."
Yan Yirou stared at him, wondering if he was going to hang up the video call now that he wasn't going to look for her grandmother.
The atmosphere became slightly awkward in the silence.
Gu Chenye saw that she had a blank expression and was obviously thinking about something else. Was this what she meant by "having endless things to talk about with him"?
Haha, she should say something, but she didn't utter a single word!
Women's mouths are always deceiving!
Gu Chenye suddenly leaned closer to the screen: "What are you thinking about?"
Yan Yirou snapped back to reality and, seeing the handsome face magnified on the screen, blurted out in shock, "Why haven't you hung up yet?"
"What?" Gu Chenye asked incredulously, his eyes narrowing and reflecting a cold, sharp light. "Do you really want me dead?"
This is a huge misunderstanding!
Yan Yirou thought to herself, "Holy crap!" and hurriedly explained, "No, that's not what I meant. When I said 'hack,' I meant 'hack the video,' not 'die.'"
Gu Chenye sneered: "So you really want the video to be taken down?"
A hint of guilt flashed in Yan Yirou's eyes, and at the same time she felt uneasy. Shouldn't people keep quiet about what they see? Why did he say everything?
She inexplicably had the feeling that 'it's easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away'!
Gu Chenye's voice was deep: "Answer me!"
The next second, Yan Yirou tensed up and lowered her head to apologize: "I'm sorry, Third Young Master, I..."
Gu Chenye couldn't see her face clearly, and when he heard her call him "Third Young Master," he interrupted her directly, saying, "This is the last time, Yan Yirou, speak properly!"
Yan Yirou looked up in surprise.
What do you mean, "last time"? Why does he always get angry over the slightest thing?
Yan Yirou felt that she had been speaking politely the whole time, and it was clearly him who was dissatisfied with her and that was why he was nitpicking.
However, it was she who needed someone's help.
Moreover, he was a patient.
After telling herself not to take it to heart, Yan Yirou explained calmly, "I saw that it was getting late. If there's nothing else, everyone should get some rest. Then I'll go to Grandma's tomorrow morning so she can talk to you. I didn't mean to curse you, really!"
Yan Yirou was practically swearing an oath to the heavens.
"hehe."
Gu Chenye chuckled, but there wasn't a trace of amusement in his captivating eyes.
Do you remember what you said before?
"..."
Yan Yirou was stunned. She had said many things before. Which sentence was he referring to?
Gu Chenye put down his phone, too lazy to look at her innocent yet hypocritical face. However, he didn't hang up the video call, but simply said casually, "I remember you said that you and I have endless things to talk about. Now it's your time to perform. Let's begin."
Yan Yirou: "..."
What kind of performance is this? Since he knows it's fake, why does he still say it?
Was it a deliberate attempt to humiliate her?
Yan Yirou pursed her lips. The screen was completely black, and she couldn't see Gu Chenye's face at all, but he didn't hang up the video, so she had to say, "Three... cough cough, let me tell you a story."
Gu Chenye remained silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
However, silence is tacit consent.
Yan Yirou continued, "There was a little girl who lived in a beautiful villa. Her parents were very busy and would come home very late every day, sometimes not for several days. In order to prevent the little girl from going astray and learning bad habits, they enrolled her in many extracurricular classes."
The little girl thought that if she worked hard enough, she could make her parents happy and spend more time with her. So she studied very hard, which ended up landing her in the hospital. The doctor said she needed to rest, and her parents felt she had embarrassed them and scolded her severely. The little girl cried sadly.
As the little girl grew older, she suddenly discovered that her parents had long since started their own families, and she now had an older sister and a younger brother, but neither of them liked her.
Gu Chenye originally thought that Yan Yirou was talking about her childhood stories.
