Chapter 38 Serious Face VS. Playful Smile: You're Not Crazy
Fu Yanli never thought of his mother as a harsh person.
After all, someone who suddenly becomes obsessed with love will first and foremost care about themselves and their son.
He was quite happy that his mother had become more focused on him, and incidentally, she helped him obtain the inheritance rights of the Fu family.
But recently, he discovered a big problem.
His own mother disliked Xu Wenci.
That's not a big problem.
The main reason is the mother's stubbornness.
He was perfectly aware of why his mother opposed Xu Wenci being with him.
It's nothing more than family reasons and personality reasons.
The influence of family is something a person can never erase, especially someone who has grown up at home.
A prolonged period of bleak family life can ruin a person and create huge hidden dangers for their future family life.
My mother once had a younger brother.
She hated that younger brother.
The younger brother, born from the father's affair, also went insane because he had been living under the control of his mentally ill stepfather.
The mother disliked more than just that younger brother.
She was afraid of that crazy man, and even more afraid of the crazy man's love.
That's right, his younger brother likes her.
This was told to Fu Yanli by his sister.
"Brother," the little girl, not yet an adult, cried, her face streaked with tears. She was only wearing a nightgown, hugging her arms and trembling. When she saw him, she cried even harder, "Brother... Brother... that uncle has gone mad..."
He froze, instantly recalling his uncle's sinister gaze.
He had previously been at a family gathering where his uncle stood next to his mother.
His mother looked in his direction and nodded slightly at him.
Following his mother's gaze, the uncle narrowed his eyes, his gaze sinister, with dark shadows pressing down at the corners of his eyes.
At the age of eight, he thought that his mother had already divorced, and his uncle disliked his father, so he probably disliked him as well.
So it turns out it was because she liked him...
It turns out it was jealousy...
So this is what it means to have feelings that can't be expressed...
So that's what it was—a mindset that could never see the light of day...
He squinted slightly and took out a book to cover the document.
This information must not be known to Xu Wenci.
"Do you have information about my mother?" Xu Wenci asked.
"No."
Xu Wenci nodded, seemingly not caring much.
"Your mother..." Fu Yanli probed.
Xu Wenci's cold gaze swept across Fu Yanli's desk, his pupils devoid of any emotion. "She's been dead for a long time..."
Fu Yanli glanced at the document under his arm, pursed his lips, and unconsciously looked down at the document he was holding down.
Information about Xu Wenci's mother can be found on the last page of this document.
Why is the seme acting mute again... [rolls eyes][rolls eyes][rolls eyes] He always pretends to be mute when he needs comforting [angry][angry][angry]
To be honest, ever since I found out the protagonist was a time traveler, I've found it hard to ship them. [facepalm][facepalm][facepalm]
"Have you seen her?" Fu Yanli asked, moving his fingers.
"We've met a few times, I think." Xu Wenci didn't seem very sad; instead, his face was expressionless. "I can't remember."
“Your mother doesn’t like me,” Xu Wenci didn’t want to continue the topic and tried to change the subject abruptly, just like Fu Yanli, directly pointing out the problem he cared about: “If this problem isn’t solved, the two of us won’t be able to achieve a happy ending.”
Fu Yanli, on the contrary, looked surprised. "You actually know about happy endings? I thought someone like you, who seems to never read novels and only reads 'Das Kapital,' wouldn't know about such things."
Xu Wenci: "Don't change the subject."
Fu Yanli pushed up his glasses. He always wore blue light blocking glasses when using the computer to protect his eyesight. He frowned and said, "This problem is actually easy to solve. Just give me two days."
"What method?"
"Do you know why my mother doesn't like you?" Fu Yanli asked, tilting his head back with an air of profound mystery.
"Because my family is not well-off."
“Yes,” Fu Yanli nodded, “no.”
I wouldn't be this obnoxious even if I deliberately caused trouble... [smile][smile][smile]
[Serendipitous face: [Serious face][Serious face][Serious face] [Gentlemanly face: [Gentlemanly face][Gentlemanly face][Gentlemanly face]]
Xu Wenci tilted his head, having no patience to keep Fu Yanli in suspense any longer. He rolled his eyes, reached out, and paused almost imperceptibly in mid-air before pulling Fu Yanli's wrist.
Fu Yanli stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Doesn't Xu Wenci vomit whenever he touches anyone? Why did she take his hand on her own initiative?
The next second, Fu Yanli's eyes widened even more.
Because Xu Wenci twisted his arm hard without any mercy.
Waaaaah.
He just speaks a little slowly.
"Alright, alright," Fu Yanli coughed lightly, his smile fading. "I'll never smile again."
“Give me your reasons.”
“Because my mother dislikes you because she thinks you have ulterior motives,” Fu Yanli said seriously, looking straight ahead.
Xu Wenci nodded.
Their motives were certainly impure.
If Fu Yanli wasn't stupid, he should have known that too.
“But we’re only tied together because of the script, so there’s really no need to know whether the other’s motives are pure or not.” Fu Yanli winked at Xu Wenci.
This guy is just too fond of acting cute [smile][smile][smile]
[The protagonist is a time traveler; if he has a romantic relationship with the other protagonist... [thinking][thinking][thinking]]
Xu Wenci lowered his eyes; Fu Yanli was lying to him again.
No one knew better than him why Ye Qingdai disliked him.
Ye Qingdai had witnessed her son's tragic death, while his legal lover laughed until he trembled.
"Breaking news from this station: A man fell from a high-rise building today and died despite rescue efforts. This station will continue to report..."
He covered his face, trying his best to control his smile.
Laughter still managed to squeeze out from between his fingers, the laughter trembling, trembling, and as it passed through his fingertips, the heat made his fingers recoil.
Fu Yanli was killed by him, but the reports said he died from a fall from a great height.
hehe.
hehe.
Fu Yanli finally died.
“I’ve never approved of him being with you,” Ye Qingdai’s ahoge (a stray hair on her head) swayed symbolically. She took a sip of tea, showing no interest in chatting with him, seemingly only there to get an answer. “Because you’re a madman…”
madman……
Xu Wenci's eyes flickered, and he took a deep breath, as if he had just emerged from the water. The coldness in his nasal cavity made him shiver involuntarily.
He's not crazy.
Only Ye Qingdai thought he was crazy.
He is not a madman in this world.
"By the way, I've already told you how I resolved my mother's issue, so just tell me how you plan to resolve your grandmother's issue..." Fu Yanli noticed that Xu Wenci's expression was off, secretly glanced at the comments, and only asked casually after finding nothing unusual in the comments.
"No idea." Xu Wenci unconsciously tapped his phone screen with his fingertip, paused for two seconds, and then answered.
Fu Yanli pursed his lips, "Why is this so perfunctory?"
[The shou's grandmother took advantage of him so much, and the shou is so kind, he definitely couldn't bear to be too cruel to his grandmother... [sigh][sigh][sigh]]
[And Grandma has always taken care of her...]
Xu Wenci clenched his fists, ignored Fu Yanli, and lowered his eyes.
He had to start planning.
He wouldn't allow his plan to go wrong in the slightest.
He opened his phone and contacted Gu Pei, but he didn't expect that Gu Pei had already sent him so many messages.
[Xu Wenci, how is it? How did your conversation with Fu Yanli go? Does he know anything about your mother?]
I only know that your mother is not dead, but I don't know exactly where she is.
Why are you looking for her? I remember in the original novel, you found her later, but she didn't help you or treat you like family...
Yi Pei felt that his last words were too heartless, so he withdrew them.
Xu Wenci stared at the words "Message withdrawn" for a long time, unable to come back to his senses.
He doesn't have many relatives.
His family members weren't exactly kind to him either.
His father doesn't care about him, and his grandmother takes advantage of him.
Mom is missing.
Everyone was saying that his mother was dead.
However, people say that with a mother around, a child will never have a bad life.
When he was a child, he wondered if he would have been better off if his mother were still alive.
The script also told him that his mother would definitely come back.
That's what the script told him.
That must be true.
Fu Yanli's mother was very, very good to him.
She was afraid that this madman would harm Fu Yanli, that he had ulterior motives and would put her child in danger, and that he would bring unpredictable factors.
In the original script, perhaps his mother really didn't help him.
But in this altered script, his mother no longer appears.
He didn't know why, but his mother had to show up.
Fu Yanli's mother also does not appear in his script.
But just because she's outside the script doesn't mean she doesn't exist.
[Didn't I ask the viewers about your mother before? They said your mother would appear in this city in a year, but they didn't know her whereabouts before that.]
Xu Wenci: What he wants to ask is about what happened before that.
Never mind, the comments section doesn't know either.
Ask the viewers in the live chat: has the woman next to Fu Rongzhen, who is also Fu Yanli's stepmother, done anything unusual?
The person on the other end gave an OK sign.
"Who are you chatting with?" Fu Yanli observed Xu Wenci for a long time and saw that Xu Wenci was frowning, turning his head to stare at the documents in front of him.
He didn't look at Xu Wenci at that moment, but suddenly asked such a question.
[Clearly, the seme is just pretending to be serious...]
The comments section started jumping around again.
For Fu Yanli, the comments section was constantly exposing his flaws and spreading rumors.
[The seme pretends not to look at the uke, but actually his peripheral vision is practically burning a hole through the uke's phone... [shaking head][shaking head][shaking head]]
[Ahhh! [Excited][Excited][Excited] Finally, it's time for the romance scene? They've been making it like a suspense movie before, but now it's finally back to a romance movie! [Sobbing][Excited]]
Xu Wenci rolled his eyes and deliberately tilted his phone screen slightly to ensure that Fu Yanli could see the chat avatar on the screen.
Yi Pei.
Yi Pei?!
Fu Yanli immediately wanted to jump up.
Didn't he ask Yi Lou to temporarily control his brother's whereabouts? Why is he contacting Xu Wenci again?
Waaaaah.
His destined one!
Moreover, according to the script, he was not good to Xu Wenci, and given Xu Wenci's personality, she definitely wouldn't have stayed with him if she had known this beforehand.
Although he has now awakened, Xu Wenci must really hate that he suddenly reverted to the way he was in the script.
Moreover, he and Xu Wenci are now allies.
They shouldn't have treated Xu Wenci badly.
Why.
After thinking it over, he decided to maintain the status quo and address the current problems first.
Fu Yanli was the first to offer a solution to the problem that had remained unresolved for so long.
He was just really curious... what his grandmother would choose...
"Mom, did you talk to Xu Wenci? Why is he still ignoring you..." The man with the buzz cut wiped his hair, his eyes fierce, and grabbed Xu Wenci's grandmother's shoulders, shaking her repeatedly.
"I……"
Grandma lowered her head, like a child who had made a mistake, rubbing the back of her hand with the needle marks on it.
Her son couldn't see her expression clearly.
But it doesn't matter, her son didn't intend to see her expression anyway.
Or rather, he never looks at them.
"He must really care about the clues about his mother..."
Grandma looked up, her eyes flashing with an unclear light.
Her son clapped his hands, suddenly realizing what was going on.
Yes, Xu Wenci cares most about his mother.
He had clearly told Xu Wenci that his mother had died long ago.
However, Xu Wenci was somehow bewitched and couldn't forget a dead person.
The author's note: Actually, in the description, I deliberately reduced the pain felt by Xu Wenci and Fu Yanli.
Xu Wenci was still troubled by the ending of the previous world and the unknown pain of this world. He had never thought about developing a relationship with the protagonist, so their relationship seemed more like that of allies.
Fu Yanli has always been controlled by the rules, surrounded by enemies on all sides, and there are even "dinosaurs" climbing over the wall from within. He is in a terrible situation.
