When Ji Mingxia came to meet Ye Chen at the restaurant, he received the four gifts from the other party and said with understanding, “I guess that only three of these gifts are the same, and one is very special, right?”
Ye Chen froze, he couldn’t believe that the emotionally insensitive Ji Mingxia was actually so perceptive today. His heartbeat unconsciously accelerated a little: “You guessed it?”
He had dressed up carefully today.
After the last incident, Ye Chen looked calm on the surface, but in reality, he was very tangled.
The Ye family had a whole lot of things that he needed to deal with and because everything was all piled up on him alone, he was so busy that he almost didn’t even have time to sleep.
In addition, Ye Chen had to face his guilty conscience.
Although Ye Chen was young and innocent when those things occurred, the Ye family became rich and he enjoyed the benefits of wealth.
He had everything today but it was all built on the blood of his little sister. Such wealth made him very disgusted.
Several times, he wanted to wash his hands of everything, and let his parents years of hard work collapse and vanish.
But whenever he looked at the family still under treatment, Ye Chen would grit his teeth to carry on.
A total of nine people were injured that day. The four bodyguards were the least injured and they were hospitalized for a week before being discharged.
Next was Uncle Zhang and Master Zheng, they were hospitalized for half a month before they did the discharge procedures.
The injuries on his parents and Ye Tian’s were the most serious.
Especially Ye Tian, her case was odd. She became critically ill a number of times but fortunately, the Ye family was rich enough to prolong her life.
The Ye couple did something wrong, but they were his parents after all, and Ye Tian was his beloved sister.
Although the Ye family’s wealth was blood-stained and dirty, it could save their lives.
So for the sake of his family, Ye Chen had to carry on.
The past weeks were dark and chaotic.
Outsiders only saw his strength, but could not see his inner confusion and self-loathing.
Fortunately, he had Ji Mingxia’s company. He would have a sense of relief from his guilt whenever he talked to Ji Mingxia, and by relying on this warm light, Ye Chen was able to carry on.
He stabilized the Ye family, and his parents and sister finally recovered after several months of treatment.
He knew that Yu Ning was like a wild dog protecting its food. He watched Ji Mingxia firmly, and didn’t give anyone the opportunity to get close to him.
Therefore, Ye Chen studied Ji Mingxia’s schedule in the various courses and deliberately picked a day when he could ask Ji Mingxia out. He cut his hair, sprayed perfume, changed into a decent set of clothes and waited for Ji Mingxia’s arrival.
Unexpectedly, Ji Mingxia broached the subject before he did.
Ji Mingxia looked at Ye Chen who had become nervous and thought back to his recent moves. The other party paid extra attention to his roommates and was cautious when chatting.
Unfortunately, it was useless no matter how much Ye Chen tried. He was not destined to be a protagonist in this book.
Like Ye Chen, he was not an official match with Yu Ning, and Ji Mingxi suddenly felt that they were pitiful. They could only have an unrequited bitter love.
He couldn’t bear to tease him and said it outright: “Of course, you show so obviously that I’d guess it even if I was a fool. Yu Ning is cold on the outside and hot inside, and not easy to approach so you decided to make friends with him through me. I understand.”
Ji Mingxia had seen this kind of situation many times at school.
When a boy likes a certain goddess, the more adoration, the less he dares to approach her. So he often uses roundabout tactics. He first contacts the goddess’s roommates and bribes them. With the assistance of the roommates, he begins his pursuit of the goddess.
In the original book, Ye Chen also did something similar.
Therefore, in Ji Mingxia’s view, he had already seen through Ye Chen’s actions, but because Ye Chen never mentioned it, Ji Mingxia decided not to expose him.
Now that Ye Chen had finally decided to act, Ji Mingxia was relieved that he’d no longer have to be used as a middleman.
Ye Chen was still immersed in the tension of having his thoughts exposed and was stunned at Ji Mingxia’s words: “Ah?”
He looked at Ji Mingxia in a daze.
Ji Mingxia was looking at the four gifts with a forced smile on his face, and Ye Chen came to a realization.
It wasn’t just Yu Ning who liked Ji Mingxia, Ji Mingxia surprisingly …… liked Yu Ning too!
They were roommates from high school and now lived together every day. It was rumored that when Yu Ning was the county’s famous freak, it was only Ji Mingxia openly and secretly taking care of him.
In Ye Chen’s opinion, it was only normal for someone like Yu Ning to be moved by Ji Mingxia and thus falling in love with him.
But he never expected that Ji Mingxia would also like Yu Ning.
The two people had mutual affection for each other and are together every day, so reasonably speaking, they should have broken through the paper and established a relationship.
However, they had neither determined their relationship nor expressed their hearts to each other, so Ye Chen defaulted that Yu Ning liked Ji Mingxia, but Ji Mingxia wasn’t moved by Yu Ning.
However, looking at Ji Mingxia’s expression, a person as sharp as Ye Chen discovered his affection for Yu Ning.
He wouldn’t show such an expression if he didn’t like Yu Ning, nor would he have such an outrageous misunderstanding.
Ji Mingxia only had Yu Ning in his eyes and to him, Yu Ning was the best. With this mindset, he misunderstood Ye Chen’s actions and tacitly concluded that he would also fall for Yu Ning.
Once Ye Chen realized this, his originally fiery heart immediately cooled down.
It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. Ye Chen was sad, and also reluctant.
Why did he have to discover this after his heart was moved?
In addition, what’s so good about that Yu Ning, why is he worthy of Ji Mingxia’s feelings?
Ye Chen felt that Yu Ning was not a good person from the first time he met him, and it was not safe for a person like that to stay by Ji Mingxia’s side for a long time.
The hearts of young people are always unstable, and with Yu Ning’s character, he may hurt Ji Mingxia at any time.
Ye Chen’s head was full of thoughts and jealousy flooded his chest. Ji Mingxia called him several times and he almost did not hear.
“Ye Chen, Ye Chen?” Ji Mingxia said.
How is he annoying? 😭
He’s just being rational so far😭
It’s true that JMX and YN are not together and he didn’t know that JMX liked YN back, so it’s a fair game for him to try. And can you blame him for falling for JMX? Like, based🗿 I would too, very much understandable.
Of course, now that he’s jelly he might act really annoying or do something stupid, but at this point he’s been okay
Is he finally gone after this arc? He’s so annoying
Poor man
Thank you for the chapter!
