Chapter 1145 He is so sweet
Ye Zhi knew that what Dong Yuanbin said was true, but love was never a decision made after weighing the pros and cons, it was just a sinking from the heart.
He was addicted to this relationship and couldn't extricate himself. Even though he knew it would not have any result, he still plunged into it.
He was like a moth, flying into the fire without hesitation, and he was willing to be burned by the flames.
"Brother Dong, I know! I like Sheng Ting, but I never thought about having a future with him."
Ye Zhi revealed his inner thoughts for the first time: "I don't want the resources he gives me. I want him to think that when he thinks of me in the future, I am not a completely profit-driven person. There is still something in me that he can miss. Even if it is only a little bit, I will be satisfied."
"Are you stupid?" Dong Yuanbin sighed. "You're gambling your future just to leave a little bit of affection in Sheng Ting's heart. Ye Zhi! Don't forget, the entertainment industry is a circle of power. They tend to flatter the powerful and bully the weak. What matters is power, not strength. If Sheng Ting gets married, he won't give you any more resources. What are you going to do?"
Ye Zhi: "Then quit this circle."
"You..." Dong Yuanbin saw the determination in his eyes, and finally swallowed back the persuasion that was about to come out of his mouth.
"You are an adult and you are responsible for your own decisions."
"Brother Dong, I know."
Ye Zhi said: "After the contract with the company expires, I will not renew it."
He will leave the entertainment industry and live an ordinary and peaceful life.
Dong Yuanbin left with a sigh.
Ye Zhi sat on the chair in the study and took out a check from his wallet.
Fingers gently brushed over Sheng Ting's name
This was the first thing Sheng Ting gave him, and it should also be the last.
He lowered his head and kissed Sheng Ting's name on the check, as if he was kissing Sheng Ting himself.
Ye Zhi carefully put the check in the notebook, which also contained a picture of his back drawn by Yu Ranxing.
He gently closed the notebook, sealing it along with his secret feelings.
-
Lu Yun invited Ye Zhi to have dinner at the most luxurious starry sky restaurant in Kyoto.
The terrace is covered by exquisite glass. Look up and the starry sky is with you.
The deep and mysterious night is dotted with bright neon lights, the bustling night scene of the city is in full view, and the stars are shining forever.
This was Ye Zhi’s first time here. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked down at the tall buildings in the distance.
“It’s so beautiful here!”
Lu Yun: "My eldest brother and I came here once last year and were deeply impressed by the scenery. I still miss it for a long time after returning. However, it is difficult to make an appointment here. It usually takes three or four months in advance."
Ye Zhi was surprised: "So long in advance? My schedule is always unpredictable. Have you canceled many times?"
"That's not the case!" Lu Yun said with a smile, "I found someone to cut in line."
Ye Zhi knew that Yu Ranxing was of noble status, and that Lu Yun had a strong background to be able to be friends with Yu Ranxing.
He had no intention of currying favor with powerful people, and only regarded Yu Ranxing and Lu Yun as friends.
"Lu Yun, thank you! I am very happy today."
"Don't thank me! We are friends!" Lu Yun invited Ye Zhi to take a seat: "I originally wanted to ask Ran Xing to come as well, but he has to go home to be with his husband today, so it's just the two of us."
Ye Zhi: "Young Master Yu and President Zhuo have a really good relationship."
"Their relationship had its ups and downs at the beginning, but they were destined to be together. Although it was tough along the way, they were always together."
Lu Yun has a good impression of Ye Zhi, but he knows that this is just the admiration of a fan for his idol, and it is still far from love.
Saying that he wanted to marry Ye Zhi in front of Yu Ranxing was just a joke.
Lu Yun has always taken relationships seriously. He knows the principle of "it's better to be single than to be with the wrong person". With his conditions, it is too easy for him to fall in love. He is still single until now because he has not met anyone who can make him particularly moved.
He felt that the right fate had not yet arrived.
Ye Zhi lowered his eyes, a bitter feeling permeating his heart.
No matter how beautiful the night outside was, he couldn't see it.
He thought of Sheng Ting again.
Sheng Ting is not his true love, but just his wishful thinking.
Like bright lights, beautiful, but always so far away from him.
Lu Yun ordered the restaurant’s signature dish. The dessert tart after the meal was extremely exquisite, showcasing the unique characteristics of French sweets to the fullest.
Ye Zhi prefers soufflé, paired with Mandheling, which is sweet with a slight bitterness, much like unrequited love.
Lu Yun has a different taste from him and prefers sweet cappuccino.
Seeing Ye Zhi like Mandheling, Lu Yun thought of someone: "My eldest brother likes to drink this kind of coffee, but I can't get used to it."
Lu Yun mentioned his elder brother several times today, and Ye Zhi couldn't help but feel curious: "I thought you were the only son in the family."
"I have an older brother who is seven years younger than me."
Despite the significant age gap, Lu Yun has a very good relationship with his older brother: "My older brother loves me very much. He's always happy to listen to whatever I say, and he protects me even when I make mistakes. I don't need to work, but my older brother said he'd support me for the rest of my life."
“Happy are the children who grow up in love.”
Ye Zhi envied Lu Yun very much.
He has an older brother who protects him and parents who love him.
The reason why I can be so sunny and happy is also due to the happiness of my original family.
Sheng Ting walked into the restaurant, and the restaurant manager came forward and said, "Mr. Sheng, the young master is hosting a banquet for a celebrity today, and they are dining on the Starlight Terrace upstairs."
Sheng Ting frowned: "He asked me to book a restaurant a few days ago, just to dine with this person?"
The manager said truthfully, "That should be the case. The only people dining here today are the young master and this celebrity."
Sheng Ting knew very well what kind of person his younger brother was. He was simple and brainless. He had a lot of kung fu skills but no ability to judge people. He was easily deceived.
Those who can make it in the entertainment industry are all shrewd people. Playing with Lu Yun is like playing with a puppy. When he is sold, you have to help count the money.
Sheng Ting walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor.
He wanted to see who was bold enough to hook up with Sheng Ting's younger brother.
The elevator door opened and Sheng Ting stepped into the Starlight Terrace.
The fragmented light fell on him, and the sharp luster made his aura seem even more fierce.
Lu Yun was very sensitive to danger and quickly raised his head——
His actions caught Ye Zhi's attention, and he turned around to look.
The tall and straight figure of a man came into view. He seemed to be carrying light as he walked towards them step by step.
His deep eyebrows and eyes were cold and distant, as if stained with the chill of the night, dangerous and charming.
Ye Zhi glanced over and couldn't look away until he heard Lu Yun's greeting: "Brother!"
Ye Zhi's heart trembled violently, and he looked at Lu Yun in disbelief.
Big brother?
Sheng Ting turned out to be Lu Yun’s elder brother.
Noticing Ye Zhi's shocked gaze, Lu Yun began to introduce: "Ye Zhi, this is my eldest brother - Sheng Ting. I just told you about my eldest brother who is very protective of me."
"Brother, this is Ye Zhi, my good friend."
Lu Yun's actions were so natural, and he did not hide anything when mentioning Ye Zhi. Based on his understanding of his younger brother, Sheng Ting knew that there was nothing wrong with what he said about "good friend".
Sheng Ting hummed, being somewhat perfunctory towards Lu Yun.
He looked at Ye Zhi with a focused gaze: "When did you get to know Lu Yun?"
Ye Zhi quickly stood up from his chair, lowering his head as if confessing a crime, and said nervously and fearfully, "Yes, it was Young Master Lu whom I met at a concert some time ago. I met him through Young Master Yu. Young Master Yu's lover Zhuo Sheng and I have a good personal relationship. Before I started singing, I was a tutor for Zhuo Sheng's sister for a while."
Ye Zhi didn't want Sheng Ting to misunderstand that he was deliberately approaching Lu Yun, so he explained quickly.
Sheng Ting clearly sensed his nervousness and laughed, "I'm just asking casually."
Ye Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Lu Yun's gaze lingered between Sheng Ting and Ye Zhi: "Brother, do you know my idol?"
Ye Zhi twisted his fingers together tightly, his heart pounding.
How would Sheng Ting answer?
Will you tell me about the relationship between them?
Sheng Ting hummed again, not thinking of giving a direct answer to his brother's question.
Ye Zhi's heart sank heavily, falling into the valley of loss.
He knew very well that Sheng Ting would not admit their relationship to his face, but why did his heart hurt so much?
Why should the moss in the dark corner be exposed to the sun? He doesn't deserve it.
Sheng Ting sat on the empty chair: "Sit!"
Ye Zhi sat down mechanically, keeping his head down.
Sheng Ting glanced across the dining table, originally wanting to see what his brother had eaten for dinner, but his eyes were fixed on the plate in front of Ye Zhi.
There was still some soufflé left on the white porcelain plate. The soft dessert smelled of milk, just like the feeling Ye Zhi gave him.
Very sweet!
Sheng Ting took note in his heart that he actually liked eating soufflé.
Lu Yun noticed that Sheng Ting kept looking at Ye Zhi, and thought that Sheng Ting wanted to drink coffee, so he asked the waiter to bring a cup of Mandheling.
Lu Yun said: "Brother, Ye Zhi also likes to drink Mandheling."
Sheng Ting: "Yeah, I know."
Lu Yun thought Sheng Ting said that because he saw that there was Mandheling in Ye Zhi's cup.
Ye Zhi's heart trembled, and his cheeks couldn't help but turn red.
He recalled a time when he and Sheng Ting kissed after drinking coffee. Sheng Ting said, "I've never felt Mandheling was so sweet" when he wiped the corner of his lips with his fingertips.
Ye Zhi couldn't control his emotions and his face was full of anger.
Lu Yun looked at his red cheeks and asked in surprise: "Ye Zhi, why is your face so red?"
"I-I'm a little hot!"
Ye Zhi quickly stood up from the chair: "Sorry! I'm going to the bathroom."
He walked away in a hurry.
After his figure disappeared, Sheng Ting turned to look at Lu Yun in front of him: "You and Ye Zhi always meet in private?"
"Occasionally!" Lu Yun said, "Ye Zhi is a big star and very busy. If I want to see him, I have to consider his schedule. However, I have his schedule saved on my phone, so it's convenient for me to find a suitable meeting time."
Sheng Ting narrowed his eyes and said, "Give me your phone."
Lu Yun handed it over obediently.
He found that Sheng Ting just clicked it a few times and returned it to him without checking it too much.
Lu Yun was quite surprised when he answered the phone. Why was his brother looking at his phone for no reason?
Are you afraid that he will make friends with bad people?
"Brother, you know, the only friend I get along well with is Yu Ranxing. But now there's Ye Zhi, and Ye Zhi and I get along very well."
Sheng Ting said in a deep voice: "Stay away from him from now on."
Lu Yun: "Ye Zhi and I are good friends. What's wrong with normal socializing?"
"You should focus on finding a job."
"What?" Lu Yun looked at Sheng Ting in disbelief: "Brother, you want me to go to work?"
Is his great dream of relying on his father and brother about to be shattered?
"Someone will contact you to go to the company tomorrow. If you get busy, you won't have time to play around."
After giving the order in an unquestionable tone, Sheng Ting stood up from his chair and walked away.
