Chapter 73 I don't like you, but I'm willing to accept you as family...
"Brother, do you know? This pen leaves no trace on paper, not even in the light. You can only make it out with a pencil."
Yi Zhi tilted her head, her bright eyes fixed on Yi Lou without blinking.
Yi Lou's pupils suddenly dilated as he stared intently at Yi Zhi.
My heart skipped a beat.
They weren't exactly close.
They weren't even close.
They were simply stating a very normal thing.
It's easy to see that a plain voice can always add an unusual touch to something mundane.
In that instant, Yi Lou realized for the first time what his feelings for Yi Zhi truly were.
Suddenly, the smiling man in front of me fell off like plaster on a wall, and the beautiful plaster imprinted with his image lost its color and vitality in an instant.
It was piled up into a dusty, gray corpse.
He left no last words.
Yi Lou sat up abruptly; the letter lay beside his pillow.
It's not really a belief.
It should just be a piece of paper that can provide a message.
He regretted telling Fu Yanli the method Yi Zhi had previously given him. If he hadn't, Fu Yanli would have been the first reader of this farewell letter.
He lowered his eyes slightly, and a tear fell.
She covered her face, trying to wipe away her tears, but the tears only flowed more and more.
"You were originally the villain."
He suddenly remembered Gu Pei's words.
Is he still the villain now?
It seems not.
Gu Pei was soft-hearted towards Yi Zhi, and as a result, Yi Zhi was also pardoned.
hehe.
The curtains weren't fully drawn, and a sliver of light shone through the streetlights in the courtyard, gently covering Yi Lou's hand as if to soothe him.
What if... Yi Zhi survives?
"Yi Zhi has absolutely no chance of surviving." Gu Pei laughed maniacally, leaning back and pressing his entire weight onto Yi Lou's hand that was gripping him.
Despite having his neck gripped, Gu Pei continued to provoke Yi Lou: "You imprison him, you control him, he doesn't even know how to interact with other people. Yes, he's sick, but that's no excuse for keeping him locked up..."
Yi Lou squinted, not saying a word.
This fictional world can be modified.
Why can't he modify it?
Since Fu Yanli and Xu Wenci, as the main characters, can change the plot, he can naturally make a deal with them.
"He's gone," Xu Wenci said, plopping down in the rocking chair. He casually looked up, seemingly just draping his arm over the side of the chair, and took down the swaying dinosaur toy, hiding it behind his back. "So, tell me, what kind of cooperation did you reach with Yi Lou?"
"Yi Lou is the villain."
Xu Wenci raised an eyebrow. "How did you know?"
"It is easy to know."
"Yi Zhi?" Xu Wenci blinked his amber eyes. "Is it Yi Pei?"
Fu Yanli smiled; Xu Wenci's perceptiveness was indeed extraordinary.
“He wants Yi Zhi to live,” Fu Yanli explained, plopping down next to Xu Wenci with a smile. “For him to achieve this, my plan must proceed smoothly.”
Xu Wenci nodded and stood up.
Fu Yanli reached out to stop him, but after getting the answer, he didn't say a word more, which was impolite.
"Grandpa Qiao has issued a warrant for my arrest." Fu Yanli winked at Xu Wenci's back, looking tearful.
"So fast?" Xu Wenci turned his head and stopped in his tracks.
"There's no need to pretend anymore, so I just want to strike first." Fu Yanli shrugged, seemingly unsurprised by the outcome.
"You want to live here?" Xu Wenci asked knowingly.
"That would be the best, of course." Fu Yanli blinked excitedly.
“You’ll stay on the first floor, I’ll stay on the second. There’s a kitchen on the first floor, you’ll be in charge of the meals.” Xu Wenci said expressionlessly, and immediately went into the room.
Fu Yanli immediately ran over excitedly, saying, "I will definitely take full responsibility."
Xu Wenci rolled his eyes. Fu Yanli was a terrible cook. It was a miracle he hadn't blown up the kitchen. He probably hadn't even stepped into a kitchen in his entire life.
He doesn't really want to see Fu Yanli for the time being.
He entered the room, opened the window, and stood in front of it, just in time to see a person standing outside the villa.
He squinted slightly and finally saw the person's appearance clearly.
It is Ye Qingdai.
Ye Qingdai happened to look up and gaze in Xu Wenci's direction.
Perhaps she saw Xu Wenci, because she moved slightly, tilted her head, and waved.
Xu Wenci pursed his lips, turned his head away, and subconsciously avoided the question.
Does Ye Qingdai want to see him?
Why?
Why did Ye Qingdai suddenly want to see him?
"Are you going out?" Fu Yanli sat on the sofa, leaned back, and happily opened a bag of potato chips.
The clicking sound inexplicably irritated Xu Wenci.
Upon seeing Xu Wenci frown, Fu Yanli, with great tact, put the potato chips aside.
"I'm not eating dinner. You don't need to prepare mine." Xu Wenci rolled his eyes.
"Then come back soon." Seeing that Xu Wenci had no intention of settling scores with him, Fu Yanli grabbed the potato chips and started munching on them again.
In an instant, a strange feeling spread from the bottom of Xu Wenci's heart.
One person goes out, and the other tells them to come back early; this seems to be the atmosphere of his relationship with Fu Yanli in the last world.
However, the main characters have been switched.
He was extremely concerned about Fu Yanli's arrival and departure, so much so that it was as if Fu Yanli was the only person by his side.
That is indeed the case.
He had no friends, no relatives to rely on, and even his relatives clung to Fu Yanli, sucking his blood. All he had by his side was Fu Yanli, his husband who was sometimes cold and sometimes warm towards him.
“Your grandmother… wasn’t very kind to you…” Ye Qingdai took a sip of her coffee and gently touched the latte art with her spoon. The latte art blurred and the original pattern became indistinguishable.
Xu Wenci chuckled softly, picked up his coffee, brought it to his lips, took a small sip, and smiled, "It's fine."
“I was curious before why Fu Yanli was in such a hurry to find your mother, but now I know, he’s afraid no one will love you…” Ye Qingdai felt it was absurd, lowered her head, her tuft of hair on her head swayed, and she gave a sarcastic smile.
Xu Wenci pursed his lips.
Everyone told him that Fu Yanli loved him very much.
Yi Lou is, Ye Qingdai is, Gu Pei is, and even his mother is.
Oh.
He couldn't help but chuckle.
“Perhaps in this world,” Xu Wenci smiled, “Fu Yanli has been very good to me, I admit it.”
Ye Qingdai raised an eyebrow, "This world?"
Xu Wenci narrowed his eyes: "Why did you cooperate with Fu Yanli's plan?"
They gradually annexed the Fu family's property without asking why, and were unaware of Fu Yanli's plans.
“Xu Wenci,” Ye Qingdai sighed, her coat slipping down her thighs slightly before she pulled it back up. “All I know is that as long as Fu Yanli doesn’t go astray, and he has people he wants to protect, and I have people I want to protect, that’s enough.”
Xu Wenci pursed his lips, his eyes flickering slightly.
His mother seemed to have said these things before.
“I’ve spoken with your mother.” Ye Qingdai lowered her eyes, staring at the pattern on the coffee cup. “Don’t worry, I haven’t told her anything else. She only knows that you and Fu Yanli are dating.”
Xu Wenci, who was drinking coffee, couldn't help but cough lightly, put down his coffee, and squinted.
On the surface, he and Fu Yanli were dating, but in reality, they weren't.
Didn't Fu Yanli tell his mother?
“She said that the two of them hadn’t known each other for very long,” Ye Qingdai said. “It’s necessary to cultivate their relationship properly.”
Xu Wenci nodded.
It is indeed necessary to cultivate a relationship.
But he and Fu Yanli had already developed a relationship in the previous world.
If Fu Yanli hadn't treated him that way in the previous world, this world wouldn't exist.
“I shouldn’t have contacted you today,” Ye Qingdai said, pursing her lips. “We may never see each other again, but I still want to apologize to you.”
It was already dark.
Xu Wenci tilted his head, his amber eyes reflecting various points of light.
“Fu Yanli likes you very much, so I am also willing to get to know you,” Ye Qingdai lowered her eyes, and there seemed to be tears glistening in her light blue eyes. “Everything I did before was prejudiced against you, and that was my fault.”
Her sigh was very soft.
“He will become your family, and so will I,” she said softly.
Her previous prejudice against him wasn't actually prejudice.
Her previous suspicions about him were all true.
In the previous world, he really did all the evil things she imagined.
Since the last world, Ye Qingdai has never been able to accept Xu Wenci's presence in her son's life.
However, Fu Yanli accepted the invitation and Xu Wenci became the most important person in his life.
Therefore, she was willing to accept it.
Xu Wenci pursed his lips.
Everything that Fu Yanli's mother feared would actually happen.
Ye Qingdai stood up: "Let's go back early, it's not safe tonight."
Xu Wenci nodded: "Take care, Auntie."
He went home, changed his shoes, and went straight upstairs to the second floor.
Actually, he had very mixed feelings when he saw Ye Qingdai today.
He didn't care about Ye Qingdai's opinion of him, but he would silently recall Ye Qingdai's complicated and helpless attitude towards him in the previous world.
Fu Yanli's eyes lit up the moment he saw him. "I just cooked some noodles, have some."
Xu Wenci shook his head, not in the mood to play any childish games with Fu Yanli.
“You should understand why I married you and then divorced you, so there’s no need for any unnecessary communication between us,” Xu Wenci stopped at the top of the stairs, waved his hand, and wearily rubbed his temples. “Besides, your plan has a major oversight. Find it yourself.”
"What?" Fu Yanli's silly grin froze.
"You shouldn't have been so soft-hearted as to let me stay." Xu Wenci squinted and continued upstairs.
Fu Yanli gritted his teeth, staring at Xu Wenci's back until he could no longer see him. After a long while, he murmured softly, "I really want to see the expression on your face the day I die."
He lost his memory.
He had forgotten Xu Wenci's expression after his death.
He can no longer recover his memories.
"Baby, why are you crying?"
The person with blue hair lowered their head slightly, their skin was excessively white, and there seemed to be tears hanging on their trembling eyelashes.
He hugged him.
He held back his voice, but only the person being held knew that the person in front of him was burying his face in the crook of his neck, tears streaming down his face.
Xu Wenci was crying.
It is Xu Wenci from the last world.
Xu Wenci from the last century was very good.
Xu Wenci of this world is very good.
Both versions of Xu Wenci are good.
Fu Yanli gave a sarcastic smile.
But in Xu Wenci's memory, he will probably only appear as a vengeful ghost.
In his memory, Xu Wenci was always very resilient.
Because I am very resilient, I rarely shed tears in front of him.
That was the first time he shed tears in front of him.
Xu Wenci is a person who cares a lot about his reputation.
After arguments, Xu Wenci always had tears in his eyes, tears of defiance streaming down his face.
But in his eyes, there always seemed to be a glimmer of tears of incomprehension.
Author's note: Haha [heart emoji]
My dear mom called me today, and we were talking about the novel I'm currently writing. She said that reading my novel makes her feel like she has reading difficulties, which startled me, and I ordered her to repeat herself.
She said that because I write so much, I can easily miss things, so I can't read them when I'm sleepy.
She asked me if it was because I knew she was watching that I didn't write much about the intimacy between the two main characters. I said the time wasn't right. She asked me what the ending was, and I said it was a happy ending. She asked if I could spoil it for her in advance, and I said I wanted to earn a few more cents from her.
Haha, the two of them are like they're performing a comedy routine.
Actually, I know that she's the account that's been following my serialization since mid-August, and she's continued to subscribe even after I went VIP. Her account is the only one that subscribes to all the chapters. (She always thinks I'm amazing, praising me for everything I do. She thinks a lot of people must be subscribing, but actually, the risk of investing in me is very high. People don't have time to play along with my nonsense. Just kidding, just kidding, I'm just making this up.)
Waiting for someone to grow up is troublesome. Most of our lives are spent with ourselves and the people we love. Therefore, waiting is a romantic thing. Especially waiting for the person you love to blossom is a path filled with tears and surprises.
Reading online novels only occupies a tiny, insignificant part of everyone's life, but my mom wasn't reading online novels; she was waiting for me to grow up. [pity] Thank you, my loving mom!
