October twenty-fifth.
He had a talk with Chao Lingxi last night and contacted him about his new residence today.
"This address is fully furnished, and I have also arranged for the housekeeping staff to clean it up." When Yan Yongwang said this, he looked directly at Chao Lingxi. He could see that Chao Lingxi was in a good mood, and there was a smile in his eyes that usually seemed cold. He turned his face away silently and sighed quietly.
To Lingxi: "Okay, thank you."
When you say thank you, raise your tone of voice.
Yan Yongwang crossed his arms coldly: "Have you eaten?"
Towards Lingxi: “…”
After looking at Yan Yongwang's expression and shaking his head honestly, Yan Yongwang said, "Okay, you come with me to eat."
Today, he went out to meet Chao Lingxi without telling Chen He. Chen He rarely asked him what he was doing outside. They each had their own lives, and at most he was more concerned about his health.
When they had dinner together this morning, Chen He only asked Yan Yongwang to eat more vegetables - Yan Yongwang did as he was told. The breakfast was too much, and it took two grown men a long time to finish it.
It was noon, and Chao Lingxi followed Yan Yongwang into the restaurant.
After sitting down, Yan Yongwang picked out two menus and chose what he wanted to eat. He then glanced at Chao Lingxi sitting across from him. He frowned, as if he was troubled by what dish to order.
"What did you order?" Yan Yongwang reached out and took his menu. He found that the places on this A4-sized menu that should be marked with pencils were all blank. Yan Yongwang looked at him and frowned in confusion: "It's been so long and you still haven't ordered it?"
"..." He whispered to Lingxi, "I don't know what to eat."
"Then I'll help you with some."
Yan Yongwang acted decisively and helped him order the food. The taste was not much different from his. After ordering, he looked up at Lingxi and said in a gentle tone: "I don't know what you like to eat. I ordered according to my taste."
She nodded towards Lingxi, agreeing with his approach.
The restaurant they came to was one that Chen He had always liked. The taste had remained stable for many years, and it was also a restaurant that Yan Yongwang had eaten at for many years. Earlier, Chen He wanted to poach the chef from this restaurant for Yan Yongwang, but he was worried that Yan Yongwang would be alone at home without a housekeeper or a nanny, and that he might have problems with his meals.
But before it was implemented, it was rejected by Yan Yongwang.
Yan Yongwang doesn't like anyone living in his house - this is the unanimous statement made to the outside world.
Therefore, Chen He had to give up the idea.
The restaurant manager was very familiar with Yan Yongwang's face. When he saw him bringing someone to dinner today, and it was not the usual familiar face, Chen He, he was a little surprised and walked up to him and asked, "Mr. Yan, are you bringing a friend here today?"
"Yes."
The manager personally brought them warm drinks, which were suitable for pre-meal consumption, and said, "Mr. Shen hasn't been here for a while. Our restaurant chef has learned a few more delicious dishes, and we are waiting for Mr. Shen to taste them."
Chao Lingxi stared at him faintly.
The manager suddenly felt terrified. He didn't realize that it was another customer who was very dissatisfied with what he said, and thought that he simply disliked him. For a moment, his face was embarrassed, and he took a few steps back awkwardly, looking at Yan Yongwang for help.
Yan Yongwang: “…”
He glared at Chao Lingxi, waved his hand to signal the manager to leave, and asked Chao Lingxi: "Why are you unhappy again?"
Whispered to Lingxi: "Does he and you often come here to eat?"
Yan Yongwang had a blank expression on his face: "What else? Who should I eat with?"
Chao Lingxi became anxious: "You two are alone..."
"How can we always eat together?"
Yan Yongwang took a sip of the hot drink, his eyelashes were long and thick, and he suppressed a slight smile. He then raised his head, met his very sad eyes, and said gently: "We have maintained this kind of relationship for many years."
Towards Lingxi:!!!
He was nervous and wanted to say something, but then he heard Yan Yongwang slowly say:
"Since I was a child, he often took me to eat delicious food."
"My parents also know?"
Chao Lingxi: ...
He opened his mouth and swore a few words.
Yan Yongwang had good hearing. If he heard correctly, Chao Lingxi was scolding Yan Chi and Shi Xianyuan: "Assholes!"
Yan Yongwang: “I heard it.”
Chao Lingxi had a scoundrel feeling of "So what if you heard me scolding Yan Chi and Shi Xianyuan?" and said coldly: "I was scolding them."
"What's your relationship with my parents?" Yan Yongwang poured him a cup of hot drink, tapped the rim of the cup, and said calmly, "It's cold, drink this to warm your stomach."
Chao Lingxi was attacked by his tenderness.
He drank the hot drink he poured. It had a mellow taste, like some fruit or vegetable juice. He couldn't quite tell what it was, but that didn't stop him from thinking it tasted good.
"Enemy? Not really." Chao Lingxi said in a cold tone, "Friend, not really either."
"I can barely be considered Yan Chi's benefactor?"
When talking about the past with Lingxi, he showed little interest, and his deep eyes only showed his interest in the hot drink. "You are my child, but I asked them to take care of you for a while."
This was the response to Yan Yongwang’s so-called “dishonesty” during last night’s video chat.
He became slightly more candid, but only slightly.
More often than not, they are unwilling to say it, or, in Chao Lingxi's opinion, the time is not right.
Yan Yong pondered over it and recalled the plot in "The Ruthless Way".
You Xiao once saved Ding Xuance.
After he knew that You Xiao had the name "Chao Lingxi", he searched the entire text for "You Xiao" and read all the chapters that mentioned You Xiao again.
Ding Xuance had a good first impression of You Xiao, after all, he saved him when he was in danger. However, You Xiao didn't take the fact that he helped him and saved his life to heart.
For him, it was like passing by a flower field and seeing a flower about to dry up and die, so he casually sprinkled some water on it to bring the flower back to life.
The flowers would be grateful for his kindness, but he had seen too many flowers like this, and if he had the time, he would save a life. However, not all the flowers he saved would survive.
Life, death, and rebirth are all too common.
He never held out hope that those people in desperate situations could repay him, because he knew that life and death were common, and being able to survive after being rescued by him did not mean that they would be able to survive in the future.
After a long time, I no longer care about anything.
Yan Yong looked at him and calmly asked, "Do you read novels?"
"Storybooks?" Chao Lingxi answered subconsciously. He didn't know that his reply revealed his lack of understanding of modern society. He paused and shook his head, "I don't like reading these."
"..." Yan Yong thought to himself, then he probably didn't know that there is a novel called "The Ruthless Way" in this world.
His mother wrote this story to tell him that the story in "The Ruthless Way" might be true?
Chao Lingxi felt Yan Yongwang's gaze, which lingered on him for a long time, from the top of his head to his palm on the table. He suddenly felt Yan Yongwang touch his palm on the table with the cup.
"Spread it out so I can see it."
Towards Lingxi, confused:?
Still spread out.
He could never say no to Yan Yongwang and always tolerated all his actions.
The palms have clear lines, the fingers are long and slender, and there are no extra calluses.
Modern people, even if they do not do rough labor and grow up with universal education, will have calluses on the middle finger of their dominant hand from writing. If they did not like reading since childhood, they would probably enter society early and their hands would not be so delicate.
Chao Lingxi's hands were slender, delicate, and almost as tender as a woman's.
Only those who live a life of luxury, fine clothes and delicious food can have such a hand?
Yan Yongwang blinked his eyelashes, the thought was about to come out, but he held it back and did not question it in front of Chao Lingxi.
He felt that even if he said it now, Chao Lingxi would not tell him everything.
The restaurant manager was not far away, and when he moved his eyes, he noticed Mr. Yan's table.
Usually, Mr. Yan comes to eat with Mr. Shen, and they have fixed seats. Today, someone else sat in Shen He's seat.
He is a man who looks strangely handsome, young, and has strangely fierce eyes.
At this moment, Mr. Yan lowered his head and placed his fingers on the palm of his hand.
The manager shuddered.
What did he see? ! !
Mr. Yan, who has never been interested in beautiful women, finally met a bold, cold and handsome beauty? And then, did they start to get intimate?
Manager: My pupils are shaking!
If it weren't for his high professional ethics, he would have almost taken a picture of this scene and sent it to his colleagues to express his surprise.
In the news media, President Yan, who is not interested in women, actually got interested in a man today!
You know, when he and Shen He came to eat together in the past, although they were close, they never did this kind of action of putting fingers on palms!
This, this, this!
Yan Yongwang had no idea that someone had already imagined him and his biological father together.
He touched the lines on Chao Lingxi's palm with his slightly cool fingers and said in a calm voice, "You have a long lifeline."
His eyes flickered towards Lingxi and he nodded softly.
Yan Yongwang added: "You have a dull relationship with children."
Chao Lingxi looked at him silently, frowned unbearably, and whispered back, "No, I have a very good relationship with children."
Yan Yongwang raised his eyes and said to him: "A son whom I didn't meet until I was 26 years old?"
Look at Lingxi aggrievedly and shut up.
Yan Yongwang touched the lines on his palm again, "You have a long and bumpy career path."
He responded to Lingxi in a low voice, "Yeah."
Yan Yongwang put away his fingers, he took another sip of hot drink, and saw Chao Lingxi grabbing the air like he was grabbing, with his palm facing upwards, he curled up his fingers reluctantly and grabbed, as if he was very reluctant to let go of the feeling of him touching him.
Out of sight, out of mind. "The food will be served soon. Eat more. This restaurant is delicious."
He nodded to Lingxi again.
"Does he like the food you ordered, too?"
Shortly after the food was served, Chao Lingxi seemed to remember something and couldn't help but ask him.
Yan Yongwang raised his eyebrows calmly, "He usually orders the food for me."
"I rarely help others order food."
I don't know? He understood something, blinked at Lingxi, and laughed, "I know."
Yan Yongwang felt that he couldn't guess his thoughts, just like sometimes he couldn't guess his thoughts either. They sat together, facing each other, and their facial features were similar to a certain extent, but when Yan Yongwang kept a cold face throughout the whole process and Chao Lingxi smiled from time to time, they were not so similar.
So much so that, when leaving the restaurant after dinner, the restaurant manager couldn't help but imagine: two cold-faced handsome guys walking together, actually look quite a good match?
This is a completely different film from the previous one, with the cold-faced president and the gentle secretary!
==
The last chapter of "The Ruthless Way?"
The author Xianyuan wrote about the ending of the villain You Xiao.
He had misunderstood the role of the "companion stone" from the beginning, and believed the contents of the so-called ancient book. Although he broke through the boundary of this world, he lost the companion stone that had accompanied him for hundreds of years.
The stone meant so much to him that he only knew how to cherish it after he lost it.
As a result, my heart ached and tears kept flowing.
Hua Rongying couldn't bear to see the world falling into turmoil because of the Mahayana cultivator's broken mind, so he stepped forward and made him fall into a coma.
The ending that readers see stops here. What they see is that the world is not destroyed, everyone still has emotions and desires, and the villain's attempt to "destroy human desires" fails for some reason - the author Xianyuan did not explain what the reason was, but some readers speculated in the text that it might be the protagonists who set up a trap in the early stage to make You Xiao fail completely. It is not written in the text, and this speculation is just a speculation.
Yan Yongwang looked at the readers' comments under the article. The earliest one was the day before yesterday. As a fairy grass novel, "The Merciless Way" has been on the cultivation list and the Palace of Eternal Life for a long time, and there have always been readers subscribing to this novel.
New reader posted: "Is this the end? Although it feels like the villain lost and the heroes won, but... why do I feel like the explanation is not detailed enough!"
"I hope the author can come back and explain the ending more clearly. The movie version is about to be released, but the novel hasn't been officially finished yet. Isn't that a bit bad?"
There are actually quite a few comments of this kind, but the readers of the novel "The Merciless Way" have become so impatient with the author's slow pace of updating that they have lost their temper.
The author doesn't care about subscriptions, comments, or readers' requests for updates.
Some people give monthly tickets and praise the works, urging the author to update, but the author just updates at his own pace, slowly, and never according to the readers' wishes.
But the writing is pretty good, and readers can only helplessly accept the update speed of this "weird" author.
The last serialized chapter is written here. Some readers urged the author to explain it in more detail, but after waiting for three years, there has been no update.
Readers who follow the serial can only give up and comfort themselves - in fact, this can be considered a happy ending.
The protagonists are all alive, the world-destroying plan failed, and even the villain You Xiao lost his companion stone due to his own mistakes and is in great pain.
It seems like a very good and orthodox novel ending.
However, after reading the entire book, Yan Yongwang had a very strange feeling in his heart.
He always felt that there was more to the story than just that.
…
In the story of "The Ruthless Way?", Yan Yongwang has watched the plot of the villain with the same name and surname as Chao Lingxi over and over again.
While having dinner with Chao Lingxi, he tentatively mentioned You Xiao's experience in the novel under the pretext of wanting to look at his palm lines.
You Xiao, those who cultivate immortality have long life lines?——Chao Lingxi expressed his agreement.
The fate of having few children - because Yan Yongwang never saw You Xiao having any relatives in the text, and he did not even have a lover when practicing the ruthless way, so naturally he had no children.
Chao Lingxi also agreed, but retorted: He has a good relationship with children!
Yan Yongwang ignored him and said that he had a long and bumpy career path.
It is similar to You Xiao's life in the novel. He started out as an emperor, then encountered the fate of immortals, learned mysterious arts, possessed spiritual powers, and finally reached perfection in the Mahayana stage, waiting to be promoted to the upper realm.
He agreed with all of them, but had a slightly different opinion on the second one, "fate with children."
When sending him back to his new address, he muttered to Lingxi: "I have a good relationship with children!"
Yan Yongwang looked at him coldly. He also noticed that he was in a bad mood, and his voice became weaker and weaker as he spoke.
"Who is my biological mother?" It was so annoying. She kept nagging all the time. She was really completely different from the ruthless and cold-blooded villain in the novels. Yan Yongwang felt that he had guessed wrong, so he calmly asked a question and interrupted him.
"..."Okay, I won't say anything to Lingxi this time.
When Chao Lingxi got off the car, she looked back at him eagerly. When she arrived at her new address on the tenth floor, the first thing she did when she entered the house was to open the window to see if his car was still downstairs.
Before I did anything, I received a message from Yan Yongwang.
"Can you close the window? Stop looking. I'm leaving."
This time he drove away completely.
But Chao Lingxi maintained a good mood throughout the whole day!
He had just learned to write - the writing in this world was completely different from the writing he knew.
Practicing calligraphy is difficult, and learning to speak fluent Mandarin is also difficult.
Fortunately, he has a good learning ability and can now write one or two thousand commonly used characters.
I usually send messages to Yan Yongwang using the handwriting input method.
He recorded what happened today in the memo on his mobile phone.
"Today? It's sunny.
I saw my son. He had clear features, like me.
My dear son, please help me order food.
I love eating vegetables.
I also love my son.
I am most afraid that my son will become violent, and my heart trembles uncontrollably.
When you meet again, don't provoke him easily.
He said, "I have a weak relationship with my children, and they still hate and annoy me."
…
"
Finally, he wrote: "When asked who his mother was...I didn't want to tell him."
"I'm afraid he'll know, but I'm also afraid he won't know..."
After a long silence, Chao Lingxi continued to write.
On the big screen of the smart phone, he raised his white fingertips, slid them, and wrote a few of his favorite words.
"My son, be good. I love you."
The author has something to say: Towards Lingxi (shouting loudly): I love my son! I love my daughter! I have a very good relationship with my children!
Yan Yongwang (fiercely): You didn’t!
Chao Lingxi (listless): ...I love my goose. I love my daughter goose.
(He mumbled the last sentence, but he still said it, but he didn’t dare to speak too loudly)
——
Lingxi has never been a father_(:з」∠)_
It is a bit difficult to be a father for the first time in life, especially to Yan Yan, who is already an adult.
Also, the first words he learned in this world were "I am your father", and the first word he learned to write was - "love".
