Just now, Ye Qiu was merely trying to extricate himself at the gathering. It seemed that he had been summoned by the leader of the Xiang Yao gang to meet him against his will. Yet, he harbored these unrealistic thoughts about a person already in a relationship.
Cen Chen’s gaze passed over Ye Qiu as he looked out at the neon-lit city, lost in thought. “Weren’t you supposed to be looking for your partner? Why haven’t you gone?”
“Aren’t you my partner? We were so affectionate just inside, and now you turn your back on me,” Ye Qiu slowly blinked under Cen Chen’s gaze, feigning innocence.
Cen Chen felt his mind go blank. Was he interpreting that correctly?
“I, I?” Cen Chen was taken aback by the sudden revelation. “What do you mean?”
“Were you lying when you said you liked me in the game before?”
“N-no, it’s true, it’s true!”
“So if it’s not true?” Ye Qiu displayed a look of betrayal, his eyelashes fluttering. “I knew you didn’t like me, which is why you broke up with me in the game!”
“It’s my fault for meeting you today; we’re just strangers now. It’s better if we don’t contact each other anymore. I’m fine on my own.”
Alone?
Cen Chen was bewildered by Ye Qiu’s outburst. “Y-you’re single?”
“I am now.”
Seeing Ye Qiu’s accusing look, Cen Chen felt a surge of guilt and was about to explain when his phone suddenly rang, and he answered instinctively.
“Cen Cen, where are you? I bought some food at home. Are you coming back?”
It was He Ye Bai.
Cen Chen’s first reaction was dread.
Ye Qiu continued to stir the pot. “So, you already have someone at home. If that’s the case, I won’t disturb you and that man from before. It’s fine; I’m used to it.”
Cen Chen took a deep breath, his eyes glaring at the phone, and hung up immediately.
“It’s not what you think! I-I barely know him!”
“He lives at your place.”
“He’s just a regular friend.”
“I’ve never even been to your house.”
Cen Chen thought: It sounds like there’s nothing wrong there?
Ye Qiu turned to leave, but Cen Chen hugged him tightly. “No, I-I haven’t agreed to break up yet.”
Cen Chen was slightly shorter than Ye Qiu, holding him at the waist, speaking in a way that seemed almost like a petulant child, completely unaware of his own behavior as he continued to explain.
Ye Qiu looked down, their breaths intertwining as he repeated, “But we already broke up.”
Cen Chen’s heart broke; the excitement from just a moment ago had vanished. “Deciding over a screen was too hasty. Why don’t we try spending more time together?”
“Can we meet tomorrow?”
Ye Qiu slowly nodded.
Today’s offline gathering was lively, especially with the gossip involving the three of them.
【Is there anyone who went to the gathering today? Please share some photos! I heard a super handsome guy was there, was it Bai Li?~】
【Youyou posted a photo in her moments, and there’s a luxury car in the background. It looks like it’s worth around ten million!】
【Wow, Youyou looks amazing! Bai Li is surrounded by beautiful women and luxury cars; he’s the winner of life.】
【Is there a photo of Wan Feng Ye Chou? I heard he went too. What does he look like? I’m dying to know! My sister is being so vague!】
Once this was mentioned, no one responded, leaving those who hadn’t gone to the gathering anxious with curiosity.
Someone tried to divert attention, “Well, if others don’t want to talk, you shouldn’t push them. Besides, we’re all from the same gang. Why do you need to see pictures of others? Being handsome and gaming skills aren’t really related, right?”
The discussion in the Xiang Yao group fell silent; those who missed the gathering had no idea why there weren’t any updates about Bai Li.
【Hmm… Bai Li is alright; the pictures he posted don’t differ much. He’s indeed pretty wealthy.】
【Whoa!!! Friends, look what I found! That incredibly handsome guy in the lower left corner—who could miss him!】
The photo of Bai Li was expanded; the man in the lower left, dressed impeccably, radiated youth and confidence as he chatted with another man in formal attire next to him. Even while sitting, his superior physique was evident.
Someone in the group quickly shared a picture where the main focus was evidently the handsome man, though it wasn’t a perfect frontal shot, his handsome features were already clearly visible. It looked like a candid shot taken during a moment of distraction.
【Whoa, now that we see his face, he’s even more handsome! This man is ridiculously charming, I declare he’s not an ordinary man—he’s my dream lover! Come over, let me have a taste!】
【What color velvet sack does my little brother want? I need him in my bed in ten minutes!】
【You guys are being ridiculous; I only posted this because you asked for Wan Feng Ye Chou’s photo. Don’t tell me you didn’t see the two of them holding hands?】
【I’m dying! Who spread the rumor that Wan Feng Ye Chou is a ‘see and die’ type? If that’s the case, then I’m not even a person!】
【I regret not going. I would have crawled over, even for double pay! Didn’t he say he wasn’t going? How did he suddenly show up?】
【No wonder my sister was being vague when mentioning Wan Feng Ye Chou; she wanted to keep the handsome photos for herself!】
【Just a pretty boy. You guys are being too excited over nothing.】
No one paid attention to a few negative remarks, instead transforming into jealous onlookers.
With the news already out, others joined in to spill the beans.
【Wan Feng Ye Chou wasn’t originally going, but he hurried over because he was afraid of being bullied alone.】
【And the other guy instigated it; their interactions were so sweet! Too bad they left together. Beautiful photo -1 -1 -1…】
【Don’t say anymore, I could go for either of these two! I only wish I weren’t poor!】
【Why did you have to tell me such cruel news? Is there any way to cuddle with both of these perfect men? I’m not here to break you up; I want to join you…】
