Chapter 51
Ye Lingchen took on five of them alone, and all the men fell to the ground. Qiao An, who was looking at them, was a little confused. He didn't expect Ye Lingchen to be so fierce. His movements were so fast that before he could react, they all fell to the ground.
In the end, Ye Lingchen, Qiao An and several other men were all taken to the police station. Meng Zhanyang watched his friends being taken away by the police while holding a bunch of food in his hands.
The two people were so far away that they had no idea what was happening. Lu Yijin was so anxious that she was about to cry.
"It's okay, let's take a taxi." Meng Zhanyang took a taxi and the two of them went to the police station together. Poor Meng Zhanyang didn't even have the fare, so Lu Yijin paid for it.
Ye Lingchen and Qiao An sat on the stools and listened obediently to the police uncle's questions. Ye Lingchen didn't say anything, his eyes were always looking at Meng Zhanyang's hands. The police uncle roughly understood what happened when he saw those burly men who were drunk.
After the police officer finished questioning them, he asked the two to wait in the lobby. The men immediately became intimidated when they arrived at the police station. "Uncle police officer, we are really drunk."
Seeing several older men calling him uncle, the policeman's mouth twitched, "Okay, why don't you go harass the old men when you're drunk."
As soon as Ye Lingchen came out, he waved to Meng Zhanyang and said, "My fried yogurt hasn't melted yet, has it?"
"Brother, you still have the mind to eat at this time." Although Meng Zhanyang said this, he still handed over the pile of snacks in his hand.
Lu Yijin looked Ye Lingchen and the other man up and down with a worried look on his face. "Are you okay?"
"No, no." Ye Lingchen had already shown off the fried yogurt, which was so cold that he couldn't even speak clearly.
Qiao An's clothes were torn in the fight just now. Her white chiffon top hung on her body like a rag, revealing a few bright red plum blossoms tattooed on the back. Ye Lingchen blushed a little as he sat next to her. He stood up and pulled Meng Zhanyang's coat off and put it on Qiao An.
"Hey, hey, hey, Ye Lingchen!"
Ye Lingchen rolled his eyes at him, "You have no sense at all."
"Jing Jianchen said that this era is very open. You can wear whatever you like. You don't have to pay attention to them. Those people have foul mouths. They will behave themselves after a beating."
Qiao An laughed, grabbed Ye Lingchen's shoulder and patted him, "Brother, I will fall in love with you if you do this."
Ye Lingchen's face flushed red as he jumped up from the stool. "Hey, hey, hey, don't let your drama get you so far. This whole promise of love is all fake. Today I save you, tomorrow he saves you. Even if you had eight hundred bodies, they wouldn't be enough for love."
Qiao An was amused by him and giggled, "Don't worry, sister is not blind, do you really not consider trying to be my boyfriend?"
Ever since he knew what boyfriend meant, Ye Lingchen was so scared that he almost dropped the yogurt in his hand, "No, no!"
Why is this place so weird? There's Lu Yijin in front and Qiao An behind, why do they both want him to be their boyfriend?!
When Jing Jianchen hurried over to rescue the man, Ye Lingchen was sitting in the police station lobby, leisurely eating skewers. "Are you okay?"
"Burp, it's okay, I'm full." Ye Lingchen was so full after eating. "There's a snack street near Jing Jianchen. Let's come back next time."
[Ye Chenchen's fighting posture today is really handsome! ]
[Uh, my Ye Chenchen is really carefree. He's still thinking about eating at this time.]
[His fighting posture is so handsome that it makes me cry! ]
[Able to fight and so cute, who can not love Ye Chenchen! ]
"Let's go back first." Jing Jianchen finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone was fine.
Ye Lingchen also stuffed the delicious octopus balls in his hand to Jing Jianchen, "There are only two left. If I had known you were coming, I wouldn't have let Meng Zhanyang eat them."
[I cried my heart out. Ye Chenchen didn't forget to save food for Brother Chen at this time.]
[You two are locked! ]
Jing Jianchen drove without saying a word. Ye Lingchen, who was sitting in the passenger seat, kept eating. No one in the back seat spoke. Qiao An sat in the middle with her arms folded. Lu Yijin huddled in the door frame like a little chicken. Several people clearly felt Jing Jianchen's low mood, but Ye Lingchen was the only one who was still eating without any impact.
"Jing Jianchen, where did you go this afternoon?"
"I went to meet a film crew. Haven't you ever seen a film set? I'll take you there to play in a couple of days."
Ye Lingchen nodded. "Would you like to eat the hawthorn balls?"
"No."
"I'll eat it." Qiao An stretched out his arm and took the paper bag that Ye Lingchen handed over.
Jing Jianchen's phone kept ringing. He glanced at it but didn't reply. When he returned with a car full of people, he opened his phone. It was Qin Jinyan who sent him a message, "Jing Jianchen, be nice. Look, my Lu Xiaojin is so scared by you that she's almost stuck to the door!"
Jing Jianchen took a look and put his phone aside, "Ye Lingchen, come here."
"What?" Ye Lingchen was still holding his cup of Four Seasons Spring Tea in his hand.
Jing Jianchen reached out and snatched the milk tea from his hand, "Stand still."
Ye Lingchen seemed to be dreaming back to the time when he was in the palace. He did not do well in his homework, and Jing Jianchen was scolding him with a stern face. An alarm immediately sounded in his heart, and he stood up reflexively. But then he thought, this is not right. He did not do anything wrong, so why should he be scolded!
[Woohoo, is it time for a spanking? ]
[Brother Chen looks even more attractive now, drooling~]
[Teach him a lesson, you dog~]
"Do you know you're wrong?"
"Isn't it just teaching a few little hooligans a lesson?"
"What if you can't defeat so many people?"
"How is that possible, Master? You underestimate me too much." Ye Lingchen said unconvinced.
Jing Jianchen was almost amused by him. He was so confident after the fight. "Let's go to the gym downstairs."
Ye Lingchen became interested when he heard this. He hadn't fought with the tutor for a long time. The two of them went to the gym together and stood on a small boxing ring with their bare hands.
"Come on." Jing Jianchen waved at him. He had made up his mind to teach this little guy a lesson today. His first reaction when he met a bad guy was not to run away, but to fight back. He would suffer sooner or later if he did that.
Ye Lingchen clenched his fists, missing his sword a little. He swung his fists and attacked Jing Jianchen. Jing Jianchen raised his forearm to block it.
Ye Lingchen quickly grabbed Jing Jianchen's arm with his backhand and wanted to throw him to the ground. After two moves, Jing Jianchen paid close attention and realized that Ye Lingchen was not as fragile as he had imagined.
The two men started fighting, neither of them giving in. Ye Lingchen had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. The two seemed to be evenly matched. Ye Lingchen laughed after the fight, but his fans were worried to death. They still remembered the last time Jing Jianchen pinned Meng Zhanyang to the ground to teach him a lesson, and they were afraid that Jing Jianchen would pin their Ye Chenchen to the ground and beat him up.
Qiao An, who went downstairs to drink water, heard the fighting and walked into the gym. When he came in, he saw Jing Jianchen attacking Ye Lingchen, "Jing Jianchen, what are you doing!"
Jing Jianchen paused when he heard the sound. Ye Lingchen seized the opportunity and grabbed Jing Jianchen's wrist, pushing him to the ground. He raised his leg and knelt on Jing Jianchen's waist. "I win."
Jing Jianchen looked up at the person with sparkling eyes and a smile on his face, and his heart began to beat wildly uncontrollably. The person in front of him had hair wet with sweat and scattered messily on his forehead, and his own figure was reflected in his bright eyes. At this moment, the young man was full of vigor and energy like a wild rose, and his heart and eyes were full of him. How he wished that the young man's eyes would always look at him.
"Jing Jianchen, how dare you bully Ye Lingchen!" Qiao An came up and pulled Ye Lingchen up.
"He didn't bully me. Let's have a few moves." Ye Lingchen stroked his wet hair, his eyes red with excitement.
Qiao An glanced at Jing Jianchen with dissatisfaction. When their eyes met, Jing Jianchen was surprised to find that Qiao An had become interested in Ye Lingchen without him noticing, this little butterfly who was always interested in other girls.
*
As time gets closer to the end, the competition among the guests becomes obviously more intense. According to the rules, guests who do not form a CP in the first season will be eliminated.
Qiao An has been appearing around Ye Lingchen and Jing Jianchen frequently recently, which has given Jing Jianchen a headache. It's already a headache enough that there's someone who confessed to Lu Yijin and Qiao An is always around Lu Yijin, and now there's another one.
Qiao An was a straightforward person. He would do anything to get the person he liked. Qiao An immediately launched an offensive against Ye Lingchen, "Ye Lingchen, can I invite you to dinner tonight?"
"Okay." Ye Lingchen never refuses food.
Jing Jianchen, who was standing next to him, had a dark face. He actually tried to steal his girl right in front of him. Several people in the living room turned their heads to look at him.
Lu Yijin even grabbed Ye Lingchen's sleeve, and everyone was thinking differently in their minds.
In the evening, Joan changed into a red long dress early, put on exquisite makeup on her face, let her big wavy hair fall on her shoulders, and wore a gorgeous diamond necklace around her neck. She looked so dressed up as if she was going to walk the red carpet.
【Sister Qiao is so beautiful! 】
[I'm going to kneel down under Sister Qiao An's skirt! ]
[How can there be a man so handsome? I’m so jealous!]
Ye Lingchen saw him as soon as he came downstairs. Qiao An warmly took Ye Lingchen's arm and said, "Baby, let's go eat."
"Lu Xiaojin, let's go eat." Ye Lingchen called out to Lu Yijin with a sad look in his eyes.
Lu Yijin shook his head. He wanted to go, but it was a date, and he was too embarrassed to go with them even if he had a face as thick as a city wall.
Jing Jianchen was also unhappy. He found it particularly annoying to see Qiao An holding Ye Lingchen's arm.
"Baby, let's go, let's go." Qiao An dragged Ye Lingchen out. If he had limited funds in the past, he would have taken people to a Western restaurant. Now he could only cook by himself, and the venue was decorated for him by the young lady from the program crew.
Qiao An held Ye Lingchen's arm, and the two of them stood like a talented man and a beautiful woman. Qiao An brought people to the small garden, which was decorated with flowers he had arranged himself. The table was covered with a white tablecloth and candles, and light strips were wrapped around the surrounding branches.
Qiao An raised the red wine towards Ye Lingchen and said, "Cheers."
Ye Lingchen imitated him and clinked glasses with him. He took a sip of the sweet wine with the fragrance of grapes. Ye Lingchen drank all the red wine in the glass in one gulp. Why hadn't he discovered such a delicious drink before?
Qiao An poured him another cup attentively and said, "Try the food I made. Although my cooking skills are not very good, it should be okay."
Qiao An specially fried steak and cooked pasta for the date. Ye Lingchen remembered that Lu Yijin had taught him how to use a knife and fork, so he cut the food himself and started eating. Qiao An's cooking skills were also good, and it was delicious~
There was a rustling sound coming from behind the bushes not far away. When Qiao An looked up, he saw Lu Yijin's little head. Lu Yijin met Qiao An's eyes unexpectedly, and he was so scared that he quickly shrank back behind the bushes.
Qiao An raised the corner of her mouth in amusement. Ye Lingchen was so popular.
In the room, Jing Jianchen was calmly flipping through the book in his hand, only looking up at his barrage from time to time, always paying attention to the news sent to him by his little intelligence agents.
Qiao An raised his glass and took a sip of red wine. His fingers gently stroked the glass, "Ye Lingchen, do you have someone you like?"
"No, what's wrong?" Ye Lingchen took a bite of steak, delicious~
Qiao An raised the corner of his mouth. He thought Ye Lingchen would like Jing Jianchen because he heard that Lu Yijin was rejected when he confessed his love to him, but now it seems that he doesn't like Jing Jianchen either.
When Ye Lingchen said this, many fans who supported the couple were instantly furious.
[Ye Chenchen doesn't actually have anyone he likes?!]
【ah! ! ! 】
[I hope my Jian Ye CP won't also fail, I'm crying my eyes out.]
As soon as Ye Lingchen said this, the fans lurking in his live broadcast split screen immediately rushed back to tell tales.
[Brother Chen, Ye Chenchen said he doesn’t have anyone he likes!!!]
[No way, Brother Chen, you have unrequited love? ]
[No, Brother Chen, why haven't you taken Ye Chenchen down for so long? ]
[Wow, our little sister-in-law won't run away, will she?]
It was hard for Jing Jianchen not to notice the dense barrage of comments flooding the screen. Of course he knew that Ye Lingchen didn't have anyone he liked. He didn't even know Ye Lingchen's sexual orientation. Although he knew it, he still felt a tightness in his heart when Ye Lingchen said it. He clearly realized that Ye Lingchen didn't like anyone.
When Qiao An heard Ye Lingchen say that he didn't have anyone he liked, her heart immediately jumped up, "Would you like to try it with me? I like you very much."
After what happened with Lu Yijin, Ye Lingchen rarely understood what Qiao An was saying. He choked on the red wine he hadn't swallowed yet and started coughing. "No, cough, cough, cough. I won't try, cough, cough, cough."
Ye Lingchen found that his job was full of weirdness. He had agreed to make friends, but why did one after another come to him and confess their love to him? What was going on?
"Why not? If you can't find a partner, you'll be eliminated in the second season. It would be great to be with me. I may not be good-looking or can't cook, but you can rest assured to be with me. I promise to give you all my money in the future and do the housework too. How about it? Consider it~"
Qiao An then launched his own offensive. His previous taste was always Jing Jianchen's type, but he suddenly found that Ye Lingchen's type of brother was not bad either. He was young and had good physical strength.
Ye Lingchen finally asked his question, "Why did you all come to me to confess your love?"
This time it was Qiao An's turn to be a little confused, "Is this a dating show?"
"What is a romance show?"
"Looking for a partner?"
Ye Lingchen was struck by lightning. "Aren't we here to make friends?! The director told me we were here to make friends?!"
When the director wanted to stop it, it was too late. Ye Lingchen blurted out everything. The director covered his forehead with his hands and thought, forget it, his love show Blue Team can even pair up with Blue Team, so it doesn’t seem so bad if a person of unknown sexual orientation sneaks in.
His love show is now like a wild horse that has broken free and cannot be pulled back. Forget it, just give up completely and let the world be completely destroyed!
Qiao An was so frightened by him that she almost stuttered, "We are here to fall in love, you, you, what do you think you are here for?"
"Make friends...Free food and lodging..." Ye Lingchen finally realized he'd been duped. What the hell was this "making friends" the director was talking about? Was this really making friends? He was almost going to become a homosexual!
Although many high-ranking officials and nobles kept male favorites during the Da Sheng Dynasty, Ye Lingchen had never thought of keeping a male favorite. This, this, this, is actually a variety show that allows everyone to fall in love!
Not only Ye Lingchen was shocked, but even his fans were shocked. This dating show was almost halfway through, but the main character didn't even know it was a dating show and thought he was just working there. Help! This is totally out of character!
Ye Lingchen didn't even bother eating. He stood up, staggered a few steps, and ran away. "Master, Master, we're actually in a relationship here!"
Jing Jianchen felt a little distressed when he saw the panicked man, "It's okay, I'll take you home when it's over."
"No, I want to go home now." After learning the truth, Ye Lingchen quit on the spot.
The director in the control room couldn't sit still. If his guest ran away, what would he be doing filming with one less person? He nervously watched Ye Lingchen's live broadcast split screen, pinning his hopes on Jing Jianchen, hoping he could help him stop him. If this person ran away, it would be a big problem.
Ye Lingchen was now spinning around like an ant on a hot pan. "No wonder Lu Xiaojin came to me and said those strange things the other day. Master, what should I do? What should I do?"
Ye Lingchen now felt like he had fallen into a den of wolves. Each and every one of them was plotting evil against him. Ye Lingchen wished he could run away overnight.
The internet trolls that had been lurking in Ye Lingchen's live broadcast split screen finally caught him. These internet trolls were bought for Ye Lingchen by Ye Chengzong two days ago, and now they finally started to lead the rhythm in the barrage.
[After participating in variety shows for so long, who would believe it was just a dating show?]
Ye Lingchen loves tea. While enjoying Lu Yijin's care, he also flirts with others.
[Who is it? Anti-fans, get out! ]
[Don't bully our Ye Chenchen, black fans, get out! ]
Ye Lingchen's fans soon started fighting with the black fans in the barrage. Many of Ye Lingchen's fans were his mother's old fans. They were no match for these professional water armies in a fight and soon fell behind.
Jing Jianchen's fans who were mixed in also joined the melee, fighting back against a hundred of them alone. It took the two sides joining forces to suppress the black fans who were running around.
Marketing accounts are also spreading rumors on social platforms to discredit Ye Lingchen, saying that Ye Lingchen is riding on Jing Jianchen's popularity, that Ye Lingchen is deceiving Lu Yijin, and that he is the most annoying green tea guest on "Love in Progress."
[Ye Lingchen is really good in there, he hooked up with several people at once.]
[He still pretends to be innocent even after being confessed to. How good at pretending.]
[He's really hilarious. He used to call himself "The King."]
【Have you seen it, Kuroko! 】
[Although Ye Chenchen is a little weird, he's very kind to everyone.]
[Where did this troll army come from? Our brother Chen has no problem being trolled, so who do you think you are?]
When the internet was full of chaotic rumors, Jing Jianchen was in the room trying to calm everyone down. "When the variety show is over and the director pays you, we'll go home."
"But what if they come to me to confess their love?" Ye Lingchen paced back and forth in the room. He tripped over his left foot and stumbled into Jing Jianchen's arms. Ye Lingchen shook his dizzy head, raised his head and smiled foolishly at Jing Jianchen.
"Tai...Taifu, please don't shake. I feel dizzy." Ye Lingchen hung on Jing Jianchen's arm, his eyes a little blurry.
Hot air sprayed on Jing Jianchen's neck. He smelled the smell of alcohol on Ye Lingchen, "Qiao An took you drinking?"
"Drink, what wine? No, hehe~" Ye Lingchen's face slowly turned red. He shook his head to sober himself up. "Master, why are you here? Hey, where's your hair? Why is it so short?"
Ye Lingchen said as he grabbed Jing Jianchen's hair, "Hehehe, Master, your hair is gone~"
Jing Jianchen helped the person to the bed and said, "Don't make a fuss, go to sleep."
"No, no." Ye Lingchen hugged Jing Jianchen's neck and refused to let go. "Master, Master, I don't want to do my homework today. I don't want to do it~"
"Okay, let's stop doing it and go to sleep first." Jing Jianchen patted his back gently.
"Where's my brother, where's my brother, brother, brother, I want your big pearl from the East China Sea, hehe~" Ye Lingchen let go of Jing Jianchen's neck and started crawling around on the bed again, "Where's the big pearl, where's the big pearl?"
"Master, my big pearl is missing." Ye Lingchen turned his head and looked at Jing Jianchen aggrievedly.
Jing Jianchen's breath caught in his throat. "Come here, I'll buy it for you tomorrow."
[Is Ye Chenchen drunk? ]
【He's so cute when he's drunk! 】
[Crawling all over the bed, dragging them over here, giving them a good lesson, you dog head~]
[He is talking nonsense hahaha~]
Jing Jianchen took a long time to finally coax him to sleep. After Ye Lingchen fell asleep, Jing Jianchen picked up his phone and saw the message sent to him by the studio. Someone was deliberately stirring up trouble on the social platform.
Jing Jianchen browsed around the social media platform. The popularity of the post has been quite high these days, and more and more people have gathered around. A dark light flashed in Jing Jianchen's eyes, and he immediately asked his studio to remove the trending search, control the comments, and investigate the mastermind behind the scenes.
Ye Chengzong looked at the negative comments about Ye Lingchen on the social platform and happily drank two glasses of wine. As long as Ye Lingchen was unhappy, he would be happy. He didn't believe that a poor guy like Ye Lingchen could stir up any waves on the Internet.
Ye Chengzong was still gloating over the persistent negative trending search. When he checked again before bed, it was gone. He was completely bewildered. Didn't Ye Lingchen have the money to remove the trending search? Who was helping him? It was already removed, wasn't it? He then asked a marketing account to edit out Ye Lingchen's negative history from the variety show.
All the black history of riding on the popularity and having a swollen face after a tooth extraction was posted out at once. The main point was to do whatever it took to discredit others. Both sides were competing with each other on the social platform, posting what they posted and then I took it down.
But when it comes to this kind of gossip, it always ferments very quickly. Although the entry was removed quickly, many people still saw it. Because the hot search was removed too quickly, some people even suspected that these malicious editings were real.
