Chapter 57 What's the use of the seventh day in the five-person Shura Field? Xie Ruan is even more delighted...
What Xie Ruan and Wen Hezhou said in the cabinet.
Assistant Li was unaware of this.
He felt a chill run down his spine.
The eerie feeling that had been quietly brewing after their sudden eye contact hadn't disappeared.
The person on the other end of the phone, Wen Hezhou's agent, was still searching for Wen Hezhou's whereabouts.
After a long pause, as if in a daze, Assistant Li finally spoke to the person opposite him: "Um..."
Wen Hezhou's agent: "You can't exactly say Wen Hezhou is at No. 7 Seaview Bay, can you?"
Wen Hezhou's agent knows him best. Wen Hezhou has been in the entertainment industry since he was a child. Over the years, his agent is arguably the closest person to him.
But she is the one who knows best what Wen Hezhou dislikes.
Wen Hezhou's agent: "Teacher Wen doesn't like the nanny at your villa, so there's no way he'll go."
Even now, Wen Hezhou's agent hasn't given it a second thought.
Wen Hezhou's agent: "The documents you mentioned, let's put them in his room for now. He just forgot something last time, and I think we should have Akai go and get it."
Akai is Wen Hezhou's assistant.
Wen Hezhou's agent was extremely anxious and at his wits' end.
Assistant Li stood there, unsure whether to speak or remain silent.
Assistant Li could hear in his ears the words of Wen Hezhou's agent: "Teacher Wen doesn't like the nanny at your villa, so there's no way he'll go."
What played in her mind was the scene of Wen Hezhou dragging Xie Ruan into the closet.
Although Assistant Li was not Wen Hezhou's agent, he knew that Wen Hezhou was not the type of person who would get close to others.
handle?
Wen Hezhou has never acted in a scene where they hold hands in an ambiguous way in his entire life.
Assistant Li thought that Wen Hezhou probably disliked contact with people.
She refuses to accept intimate or kissing scenes, and even refuses to act in dramas with excessively intimate scenes.
Assistant Li thought Wen Hezhou would die if he touched someone.
Isn't that the result?
Is it simply a matter of disliking or avoiding contact with people you don't agree with?
What does "碰谢阮" mean?
Assistant Li was unsure, and his voice grew increasingly weak.
After all, Ji Ye downstairs was already acting very strangely: "Do you know? Ji Ye is at No. 7 Seaview Bay."
Assistant Li probed.
Wen Hezhou's agent: "How could that be? Ji Ye's temper has gotten even worse. But even if Ji Ye's sun rises in the west and he goes to No. 7 Seaview Bay, our teacher Wen would never go. You know, teacher Wen has a grudge against that nanny. Ji Ye simply doesn't like people, so even if Ji Ye goes, our principled teacher Wen would never go. They are different."
Wen Hezhou's agent knew.
Wen Hezhou.
Holding a grudge.
Once a grudge is remembered.
It's impossible to touch it now.
This is why Wen Hezhou's agent has been so cautious and attentive by his side for so many years.
He was also afraid that Wen Hezhou would hold a grudge against him.
After all, even considering their relationship.
The agent also felt that if he offended Wen Hezhou, he would be remembered for life.
Even termination of the contract.
This applies to agents as well.
Not to mention a nanny.
Wen Hezhou's agent smiled slightly.
Thinking about this, he still had some confidence in himself.
Wen Hezhou's agent had just finished speaking.
Assistant Li's uncertain voice brushed past his ear through the receiver: "What I want to say is, I don't know if it's because Ji Ye has come for the first time."
Assistant Li recalled the scene he had seen earlier.
Wen Hezhou and Xie Ruan didn't seem to have any grudges against each other.
Wen Hezhou's agent: "?" He had a bad feeling about this.
Assistant Li: "And Wen Hezhou, wasn't I delivering documents to him?"
Wen Hezhou's agent couldn't believe it, thinking that Assistant Li was just being mysterious by mentioning that Wen Hezhou was also involved.
He absolutely refused to believe that Wen Hezhou would actually go to the villa.
The agent said impatiently, "Can you hurry up and tell me? Don't just say half of it."
Assistant Li: "I saw Wen Hezhou pull Xie Ruan into the closet."
Wen Hezhou's agent: "? Who is Xie Ruan?"
Assistant Li: "The nanny at No. 7 Seaview Bay."
Assistant Li had no idea what Wen Hezhou's manager was thinking. Hearing the silence, he subconsciously probed, "Um, as Wen Hezhou's manager, you should know that Wen Hezhou... doesn't have any problems, right?"
Wen Hezhou's agent was displeased: "Assistant Li, what do you mean? Are you saying our teacher Wen is no good??" This is an insult.
Assistant Li: "That's right, you should know him very well."
Wen Hezhou's agent: "Of course."
Assistant Li: "So, does he really have... claustrophobia?"
Wen Hezhou's agent: "?"
Although Assistant Li didn't hear how Wen Hezhou explained his trembling, after some speculation, he thought, "Perhaps Teacher Wen is afraid of the dark?"
Wen Hezhou's agent: "What are you thinking? That kid almost always operates at night, how could he be afraid of the dark? Don't spread rumors."
Assistant Li: "So, he's very healthy?"
Wen Hezhou's agent knows Wen Hezhou well.
Wen Hezhou has always been like this.
Wearing a mask during the day.
Things returned to normal by evening.
How could someone who frequently goes out at night possibly have night blindness?
If you have night blindness, you would have fallen into a ditch or a sewer without a manhole cover long ago.
Wen Hezhou's agent said, "Our teacher Wen is very healthy. He doesn't have night blindness at night, and his night vision is even better than that of a child."
Assistant Li: "...So you're definitely not afraid of the dark, and you don't have claustrophobia?"
Wen Hezhou's agent: "Of course, with so many scenes at night and in enclosed spaces, how could he be afraid? Don't forget, our Teacher Wen mainly acts in criminal investigation dramas, and there are so many nighttime scenes in those dramas."
Assistant Li: "..."
Wen Hezhou's agent: "What's wrong? Assistant Li, why aren't you saying anything?"
Assistant Li: "So, what if I told you that I saw your teacher, Ms. Wen, not only at No. 7 Seaview Bay, but also pulling the nanny into the closet, trembling with fear? Would you believe me?"
Wen Hezhou's agent: "..."
Assistant Li listened to the receiver on the other end.
No sound came from it.
Assistant Li entered the elevator.
When he went downstairs, Assistant Li was still in a daze.
After the elevator doors opened, he didn't hear anyone speaking from the other side. Only after stepping outside did he hear a familiar voice—
"Where is A-Ruan?"
That voice sounds like Zhou Jingchi's.
Assistant Li stood frozen in place, not having reacted yet, when he heard the other party continue speaking.
"Isn't Xie Ruanxian at home?" Zhou Jingchi's voice came through.
As soon as Assistant Li stepped out of the elevator, he saw Zhou Jingchi wandering around on the first floor.
I searched the living room.
There was no Xie Ruan.
He went to the staff canteen to find Xie Ruan.
As a result, there was no staff canteen either.
Assistant Li watched helplessly as young master Zhou Jingchi walked past him.
She ignored him and walked straight to Xie Ruan's nanny room.
Assistant Li remained silent: "..."
Assistant Li subconsciously turned his head and walked towards the living room.
Assistant Li heard the sound of Wen Hezhou's agent seemingly realizing what was happening and decisively hanging up.
Assistant Li walked towards Ji Ye's manager.
Assistant Li felt that the only person who could truly see this surreal reality was Ji Ye's manager.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Jingchi, having run around the area and garden without finding Xie Ruan, rushed over in a flurry: "Where's A-Ruan?"
Assistant Li dared not speak: "..."
Zhou Jingchi didn't seem to be in the mood to chat with him, and simply let Zhou Jingchi go to the last place—
kitchen.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the kitchen, Assistant Li sensed the oppressive atmosphere.
Zhou Jingchi said coldly, "Why are you still here?"
Zhou Jingchi was already annoyed by Ji Ye's face.
During this period, the group took a tacit vacation and seemed to have met with everyone they had never seen before.
Even though they all stayed here for Xie Ruan.
Zhou Jingchi also tried to minimize his meetings with them.
Most of the time, Zhou Jingchi maintains a healthy lifestyle.
Ji Ye is unhealthy.
We're unlikely to run into each other.
As for Wen Hezhou...
Wen Hezhou was also at home.
But Zhou Jingchi never saw him leave the house.
It seems that Wen Hezhou always has Ji Ye bring his meals up to him.
Yes, it seems that Ji Ye has been cooking all the meals Wen Hezhou has been eating these past few days.
As for Wen Hezhou...
It seems like she always says it tastes bad with a smile.
In the end, I didn't finish eating it.
Zhou Jingchi didn't know.
As for Zhou Jingchi and Ji Ye...
The two of them met many times during mealtimes.
That's normal.
after all.
During their time at the villa, Zhou Jingchi and Ji Ye both did one thing—
Cook.
Zhou Jingchi didn't know why, but Ji Ye had become obsessed with cooking, just like him.
Unfortunately, the two of them ended up hiring the same teacher.
Zhou Jingchi and Ji Ye occupied the kitchen many times.
Therefore, it's hard for the two of them not to have a cooking competition.
When Zhou Jingchi walked into the kitchen and saw Ji Ye, the atmosphere in the kitchen suddenly became tense.
Zhou Jingchi didn't immediately get angry. Instead, he glanced at the leftover food on his plate, which had clearly been partially eaten, and smiled slightly. "Aruan, didn't you eat your food?"
Zhou Jingchi: "I knew it, he prefers what I make."
Zhou Jingchi felt that Xie Ruan was too delicate. Although there was a range hood in the kitchen, Zhou Jingchi still felt that the kitchen temperature was too high, the wok was too heavy, cooking was too tiring, and the fumes were too strong, so he never let Xie Ruan go into the kitchen.
Zhou Jingchi learned to cook all for Xie Ruan.
But Ji Ye thought so too.
When the two meet, it becomes normal for them to target each other.
Zhou Jingchi's voice carried a hint of sarcasm, "The teacher also said that I cook better."
Zhou Jingchi and Ji Ye learn cooking skills from a five-star chef every afternoon.
His teacher always told him privately that he had a greater talent for cooking than Ji Ye.
Ji Ye: "He was just flattering you. A-Ruan even said my cooking is delicious."
Ji Ye sneered, his cold voice devoid of any warmth.
Their master always did this, to console the two of them for their complete lack of culinary talent.
They always managed to separate those who were at odds with each other.
Then they privately comforted each other, saying that both of them cooked better than the other.
But it doesn't matter which chef thinks tastes better.
Ji Ye thought.
Important.
It depends on what Xie Ruan thinks.
Ji Ye and Zhou Jingchi never crossed paths in their lives.
But in this matter, Ji Ye didn't lose.
Ji Ye raised his chin, too lazy to argue with Zhou Jingchi, and simply stated the facts: "He said he really likes my cooking, but he didn't tell you, did he?"
Ji Ye had no idea that Xie Ruan had only said those things under duress.
Ji Ye and Zhou Jingchi feed their food in completely different ways.
Ji Ye liked to press Xie Ruan down while she ate at the table.
Xie Ruan always had no choice but to make up some lies about delicious food to escape to.
Zhou Jingchi is different.
Zhou Jingchi treated Xie Ruan very well.
Zhou Jingchi was not only generous, but he would also always hold him while they ate.
He won't eat if he doesn't want to.
He can leave whenever he wants.
Xie Ruan certainly didn't need to make up lies about how delicious it was.
Ji Ye was unaware of this.
Ji Ye simply raised his chin slightly: "Move aside, I'm cooking today."
Zhou Jingchi's expression was solemn. After a while, he removed his plate from Ji Ye's plate and said, "You look like you put out twenty-four pieces of sweet and sour pork ribs."
Zhou Jingchi counted: "Aruan, you only ate two pieces, so you probably don't really like them, right?"
Zhou Jingchi and Ji Ye have been taking turns cooking lately.
Zhou Jingchi knew better than anyone that Ji Ye's cooking was really—very, difficult, to eat.
Zhou Jingchi didn't expose her, fearing that Xie Ruan might actually like to eat it.
He didn't want Xie Ruan to miss out on anything she liked.
Zhou Jingchi had no idea.
If he were to share this idea with Xie Ruan.
Xie Ruan will definitely answer—
Thank you for your kindness. Next time, I promise I won't make Ji Ye the older brother again.
Zhou Jingchi looked up at Ji Ye.
Based on the fact that Xie Ruan genuinely liked Ji Ye's cooking, Zhou Jingchi was a bit more lenient with Ji Ye: "However, you still need to work hard to make A-Ruan like it even more."
Ji Ye was taken aback by Zhou Jingchi's sudden change in attitude.
Before I could even react, I saw Zhou Jingchi send a message in a very bossy way—
[Zhou Jingchi]: [Red Envelope: Where is Aruan?]
[Zhou Jingchi]: [Red Envelope: I brought you some delicious desserts, want some?]
[Zhou Jingchi]: [Red Envelope: Have you gone out yet? Should I bring it to you?]
Zhou Jingchi quickly typed on the 26-key keyboard.
Ji Ye rarely showed such patience when preparing food.
But his gaze fell on the bag Zhou Jingchi was carrying.
Ji Ye: What tricks is Zhou Jingchi up to now?
Ji Ye is on vacation for a month.
He felt like he was constantly vying for the emperor's favor with three thousand beauties.
Zhou Jingchi may look like a muscular but brainless muscle man.
but……
We got to know each other.
Obviously not.
Even if Ji Ye is completely clueless about social interactions.
He could tell that Xie Ruan preferred Zhou Jingchi to him.
What exactly are Zhou Jingchi's strengths?
Ji Ye's gaze swept towards Zhou Jingchi.
Zhou Jingchi's remarks may be pleasing to the eye.
However, because of the privacy screen, Ji Ye couldn't see it at all.
Ji Ye wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.
He always felt that compared to news about himself and Wen Hezhou...
Xie Ruan was always happy to see messages from Zhou Jingchi.
They might even tap the screen frantically.
?
Does that mean you happily save every single sentence?
How come he didn't know Zhou Jingchi had such a charming mouth?
Ji Ye's annoying way of speaking is completely beyond improvement.
He could only sulk, as if venting all his emotions on the radish, frantically peeling the radish.
"Wipe, rub, rub."
Ji Ye's peeling sound grew louder and louder.
Zhou Jingchi is still sending messages.
Assistant Li and Ji Ye's manager were looking at the two of them as if they were in another world, turning their heads to look at each other.
Assistant Li lowered his voice: "Does your Ji Ye enjoy cooking that much?"
Ji Ye's agent shook his head: "He has no interest in food."
Ji Ye's agent was certain: "In order to maintain his voice, he has to avoid many foods. Sometimes, he even eats things that are very... hard to swallow. He doesn't even put any seasoning in them. Sometimes I even feel that A Ye has no sense of taste... He can eat anything, even dry, hard, bland, or fishy things, he can finish them without any expression."
Ji Ye's lifestyle is truly extreme.
Ji Ye's agent wanted to say it many times, but never said it.
And this isn't the only extreme case.
Ji Ye's agent recalled the past, and it took him a long time to slowly open his mouth: "Perhaps it was his extreme lifestyle that destined him to not have much talent for appreciating food."
To put it bluntly...
Even if the food Ji Ye eats is terrible, the degree of awfulness he perceives is only 1% of what others perceive as 100%.
So even if Xie Ruan insincerely praised his cooking...
After tasting it, he would also feel that what Xie Ruan said was true.
Ji Ye was upset about how bad his cooking was.
He would only think—
There is only one flaw.
Ji Ye's agent remained silent for a moment: "..."
Ji Ye's agent said, "More importantly, he plays musical instruments."
Assistant Li: "..."
Ji Ye's agent said, "He is a very sensitive person. In the past... he would never touch anything indiscriminately, such as tools that might injure his hands, or even do manual labor. He would not even move anything."
Ji Ye's manager watched Ji Ye carefully peeling the fruit and felt a lump in his throat: "Not to mention peeling and chopping vegetables with a blade... Ji Ye used to think that if he wasn't careful, he would cut his hand, which would affect his music playing."
Assistant Li was speechless: "..."
Assistant Li and Ji Ye's agent stared at the kitchen again.
Looking at the two of them—
He was drenched in sweat, carrying the snacks he had bought himself.
A young musician who never lifted a finger to cook and peel vegetables.
Qi Qi rubbed her eyes.
A long time passed.
Only then do you get the illusion that you've truly escaped from a mirage.
this.
like.
It's true.
It seems like it really wasn't an illusion.
It's not a dream.
They both blinked at the same time again.
It wasn't until they saw Zhou Jingchi wash his hands, put on an apron, and start preparing the vegetables that they realized what was happening.
The two of them parted their lips slightly in surprise.
They glanced at each other.
for a long time.
They all asked in unison, "? Zhou Jingchi cooks too??"
*
Assistant Li was the first to escape from the magical reality.
Assistant Li thought he had accepted reality enough.
He comforted himself and Ji Ye's agent: "It's just three young masters who don't live in Yungang City staying here. It's normal. Maybe they just don't like staying in hotels or going home."
Ji Ye's agent nodded.
Assistant Li: "Our president certainly won't come here often."
Although, Assistant Li recently discovered that his boss was also acting strangely.
His company president hasn't come to the office for a week.
And they don't even need a driver; they just drive their own car from the garage.
This surprised Assistant Li quite a bit.
Assistant Li: "After all, our president owns too many properties in Yungang City, and this is just one of them. He doesn't like living with other people, so at least he won't come here."
Assistant Li was still trying to comfort himself.
Before magical realism became so magical.
Ji Ye's agent turned his head, his lips twitching for a long time, before finally asking, "Um, are you sure the president won't come?"
Assistant Li: "He has come a few times, but he is on vacation now and it's impossible for him to come here."
Although Assistant Li had never seen Pei Zhi on vacation, Pei Zhi owned not only real estate but also an island.
Assistant Li thought, "They're all on vacation, so their CEO must be out having fun, right?"
He didn't think much of it.
Turning around, I saw it in the direction Ji Ye's manager was looking—
My own—
President, CEO, Boss.
Assistant Li stood there, completely stunned.
Before she could react, she heard Pei Zhi, sitting in his wheelchair, ask calmly, "Where's Xie Ruan?"
...
*
Assistant Li remained rooted to the spot, not uttering a word.
Xie Ruan, who was upstairs, was suppressed by Wen Hezhou.
The space inside the cabinet is really cramped.
As he closed the door, Xie Ruan felt the heat emanating from the two of them, enveloping them and rendering him speechless. He could only listen to his phone vibrating incessantly.
"Buzz buzz buzz".
"Buzzing".
Xie Ruan no longer cared who was messaging him.
"Buzz buzz buzz".
"Buzzing".
Xie Ruan felt the voice echoing in his ears.
In the confined space, there seemed to be a reverberation, making the vibrations even clearer in the space between the two people.
Xie Ruan sensed that the man's expression had changed.
But it's too dark inside the closet.
Xie Ruan suffers from night blindness and cannot see clearly.
Xie Ruan's breathing became much more labored.
He felt the man's hand silently climb up his narrow waist and back.
The unusual contact made Xie Ruan's already keen senses even more acute in the dark.
Xie Ruan felt a thin electric current penetrating his body and blood.
Xie Ruan felt a little dizzy.
Ironically, he was trembling when Wen Hezhou suddenly pulled him into the closet.
The man was trembling too.
This was the first time Xie Ruan had ever seen someone so vulnerable.
In Xie Ruan's world, everyone is stronger than him.
Therefore, Xie Ruan has never protected anyone.
But men are different. This tall man could easily hold him in his arms, making it impossible for him to break free.
Her fragile trembling emphasized the vulnerability the tall man displayed towards her.
"Ah Ruan, stay with me." Wen Hezhou's voice was gentle and pleasant to hear when it was close to my ear.
Xie Ruan never imagined that one day she would face such a vulnerable Wen Hezhou.
"I have claustrophobia. In dark, claustrophobic places like this, I can't help but tremble." The man was clearly saying something that didn't hold water, but Xie Ruan inexplicably couldn't refute him.
Xie Ruan didn't know what was going through her mind. While she was still breathing heavily, she silently let the other person hug her, and then reached out her hand to tentatively ask, "I, I want to, how can I help you, Teacher Wen?"
Xie Ruan's voice trembled slightly.
Xie Ruan's eyes were red and wet.
From this angle, Xie Ruan couldn't see the man's expression.
She only heard the man's gentle, seductive voice say, "Hold me."
Xie Ruan had never hugged anyone before: "..."
Xie Ruan was still hesitating.
But the man was still trembling.
Xie Ruan couldn't stand seeing others show weakness.
He's always been soft-hearted.
I don't know where the kindness came from, but I subconsciously reached out my hand, closed my eyes, and gently hugged the other person.
Xie Ruan felt a little uncomfortable, and when she touched her, her voice came even closer: "K-K-okay, is that okay?"
Xie Ruan probed.
He never comforted anyone.
He couldn't recall who had comforted him at the moment, so he could only ask the other person for their thoughts.
Unexpectedly, the other person seemed even more vulnerable; their gentle voice sounded as if it were about to shatter.
Wen Hezhou's voice carried a tea ceremony flavor that Xie Ruan couldn't detect at all: "Not enough, can you tighten it a bit more? I don't feel safe."
I'm going to die.
Xie Ruan was already quite impressive for being able to hold onto the other person.
Why does it need to be even tighter?
Xie Ruan could have refused.
But the other party was shaking so badly.
Xie Ruan softened her heart, gritted her teeth, and hugged the other person again.
It's even tighter now.
Xie Ruan trembled even more, tentatively asking, "Is it...is it okay, Teacher Wen?"
Xie Ruan had no way of knowing the other party's condition.
Xie Ruan didn't even see the slight upturn of the other person's lips.
Seeing the other person's silence, one might assume that the other person is satisfied.
Xie Ruan breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, just as he breathed a sigh of relief, the man pressed down on him.
even--
He hugged him tightly...
It's even tighter now.
also.
We're closer now.
Xie Ruan's breathing became disordered.
But then he heard Wen Hezhou's gentle voice, which revealed no emotion.
