The Villain Just Wants to be a Salted Fish

Speaking of the devil.

Ye Zexi was just thinking of Yu Yan when he saw Yu Yan pulling Jiang Ran towards this side.

"Zexi! Why did you come to the airport first, aren't we on the same flight?" Yu Yan ran over and naturally sat down in front of Ye Zexi, and couldn't help but complain.

Jiang Ran was originally a little puzzled, but when he approached him, he found out. At this time, Ye Zexi seemed...his mood seemed to be a little unpleasant.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Ran asked.

At this time, Ye Zexi also noticed that the expression on his face seemed a little uncomfortable. He tried to adjust his emotions a bit and smiled at the two of them: "It's nothing."

There is no such thing as nothing.

Yu Yan and Jiang Ran complained in their hearts at the same time.

But Ye Zexi's expression obviously didn't want to say it, and Yu Yan and Jiang Ran were not good at asking directly.

So what are they going to talk about?

Gao Shu and Yu Yan's and Jiang Ran's assistants had also gotten acquainted with each other these days. Now that Ye Zexi and the others were chatting together, they simply went to the other side and continued to talk about "the worrisome artists I brought" topics and the likes.

After a moment of silence, Yu Yan took the lead and said: "Zexi, Teacher He is so kind to you!"

Ye Zexi was stunned for a moment, and wondered to himself, did Teacher He treat you badly?

But when it came to his lips, it became: "Teacher He is a good person, and he is good to everyone."

Yu Yan shook his head: "No, you are special."

Jiang Ran glanced at Yu Yan.

Yu Yan had been holding back for a few days, but he really couldn't hold it anymore. Regardless of Jiang Ran's warning eyes, he continued: "Didn't you notice?"

Ye Zexi was really puzzled: "What should I notice?"

Also, Yu Yan said he is special, where is he special?

Seeing that Ye Zexi's expression did not seem to be fake, Yu Yan and Jiang Ran were silent at the same time.

It seems that this one-sided love is not ordinary.

Yu Yan and Jiang Ran looked at each other and decided to say: "Although Teacher He is really good, he still treats you differently from others. You may not find out, but in fact every time when Teacher He made dinner, he would first ask you what you want to eat."

"As long as you named the dishes, they would appear on the table that evening, there were no dishes requested by other people; take Wei Bei as an example. The next day he said he wanted to eat braised pork, but Teacher He didn't make it for him. "

Ye Zexi recalled it carefully, and it seemed there was such a thing.

But what does this say?

"But Teacher He will also ask Sister You Jia what she wants to eat. You Jia said that she wanted to eat Yuxiang eggplant, so Teacher He made eggplant." Ye Zexi said, "Is there any problem?"

Looking at the confusion in Ye Zexi's eyes, Yu Yan fell into silence.

So isn't it special?

How does he explain it?

Yu Yan didn't speak for a long time, Jiang Ran sighed and said, "There is no problem with this, but haven't you noticed that your relationship with Teacher He is extremely intimate?"

"Intimated?" Ye Zexi was a little shocked, shocked why Jiang Ran would use the word "intimated" to describe him and He Jinyun.

Jiang Ran's eyes were filled with helplessness.

It seems that Ye Zexi really didn't notice at all.

The distance between him and He Jinyun is really too close, and it has exceeded the limit of good friends.

If it hadn't been for Ye Zexi to say frankly, he and He Jinyun had nothing between them, otherwise even Jiang Ran and the others would have misunderstood.

It is really no wonder netizens ship this CP.

Of course, there is nothing now, but this does not mean that there will be nothing later.

Ye Zexi said that he is into guys, but Teacher He didn't seem to be against same sex relationship. Maybe it won't be long before this CP pair becomes a real couple.

But now it would be useless for them to be the one doing the discussion, when the most important thing is that Ye Zexi must figure it out.

So Jiang Ran simply changed the subject: "By the way, I have one more thing to ask, the thing with Tang Jing...what the hell was going on?"

Speaking of Tang Jing, Yu Yan also recovered his thoughts, frowning and complaining to the two of them: "I heard that he has been very busy lately, but he can't be so busy that he doesn't have time to answer my text, right? I sent it two weeks ago. He still hasn't responded to the message!"

Of course this was not the point. The point was what happened between Tang Jing and Ye Zexi?

Yu Yan looked at Ye Zexi with a gazing gaze.

Ye Zexi was still thinking about Jiang Ran's "intimate" comment. Hearing this question, he just said: "I can't disclose too much. The specific details depend on whether Tang Jing is willing to tell you."

Come on.

Jiang Ran felt that he was just hitting the wall.

But from Ye Zexi's answer, he could probably guess the general idea of it.

It could only be said that the confession on the Internet is not necessarily a joke.

Yu Yan sighed after hearing this.

What is this called?

The three of them did not speak for a long time. Until before boarding time, Ye Zexi suddenly asked Yu Yan: "By the way, you cared about Teacher He so much. Do you like Teacher He?"

Yu Yan's eyes widened in an instance, and his voice rose a bit involuntarily: "How could I like Teacher He! I like women!"

Because of the loud voice, many eyes were cast at them instantly.

Yu Yan's assistant was also stunned by the voice. She hurriedly walked over: "If you like women, then like women. Why are you shouting so loudly?"

Yu Yan hurriedly covered his mouth and showed an apologetic look at the assistant.

Jiang Ran couldn't hold back and laughed.

Ye Zexi suddenly felt that the suffocation in his chest was gone, and his mood became brighter, and he laughed with Jiang Ran.

Before the flight attendant asked them to turn off the phone, Ye Zexi finally opened WeChat and responded to He Jinyun's message: "Okay, see you at the promotion."

He Jinyun only saw Ye Zexi's message when he was free in the afternoon.

According to the frequency of his chat with Ye Zexi, plus Ye Zexi's regular schedule, it stood to reason that this reply should have been sent long ago.

Then why did he receive Ye Zexi's reply now?

He Jinyun raised his eyebrows slightly and began to carefully recall what happened last night.

After a while, He Jinyun's mouth curved up.

It turned out the cat was still angry since then.

It seemed that he only replied to his message now, that means he was not angry anymore.

He just wondered how much Ye Zexi could understand from this anger.

He Jinyun suddenly looked forward to it.

Originally, he was planning to send a few more messages like usual, but He Jinyun decided to simply put his phone aside.

He began to look forward to it.

*

Ye Zexi returned home at night, but the strange thing was that his message had been sent out such a long time ago, yet He Jinyun still didn't reply.

Is he still busy now?

He must have been busy today.

Thinking about it, Ye Zexi sent another message to He Jinyun.

But this message was like the first, still no respond, until Ye Zexi woke up the next day, he did not receive a reply from He Jinyun.

Ye Zexi was really puzzled now.

What exactly is He Jinyun up to?

At the end of the day, you would somehow check at your phone, right? It's impossible to not have time to read messages on the phone, right?

Ye Zexi stared at the chat box between the two of them as he was lost in thought.

But after thinking about it for two seconds, Ye Zexi didn't think about it.

Forget it, I will watch anime first.

Just that he was not sure if the anime was not interesting or something was bothering him, Ye Zexi couldn't even enjoy it today.

For example, some simple conversations and talks, sometimes he had to watch it three or four times before he knew what the character was talking about.

He recognized each Chinese character [1], but when combined, it became difficult to understand.

The more Ye Zexi watched, the more irritable he became, and he simply turned off the tablet.

Don't wanna watch it anymore!

After lying quietly on the bed for two minutes, the boredom in his heart still persisted, Ye Zexi couldn't help but pick up the phone again.

He Jinyun still did not reply.

However, Gao Shu sent Ye Zexi the next itinerary.

At the beginning of May, the premiere promotion of "Famous General" will begin. The first stop happens to be in the capital, and the time is near, just three days later.

Seeing this, the depression in Ye Zexi's heart only slightly dissipated.

But Ye Zexi's heart still couldn't calm down. In the end, he simply called Wei Lifei and asked him to go drinking.

It's been a long time since Wei Lifei received Ye Zexi's call. He was surprised when Ye Zexi asked him to go drinking. "Did I hear that right! The big star Ye Zexi finally asked me to go drinking!"

Ye Zexi frowned: "If you don't want to..."

"Who told you that I don't want to go?" Wei Lifei quickly interrupted Ye Zexi, "I will send you the address on WeChat, then I will head out immediately!"

After hanging up the phone, Ye Zexi changed his clothes and drove to the bar.

Ye Zexi doesn't like drinking, but today he had been feeling suffocated and uncomfortable in his heart, so he thought of coming to the bar for a drink.

Wei Lifei has not hung out with Ye Zexi for a long time. There is no other reason. Ye Zexi is different from before. Now Ye Zexi is so popular. If he were to be photographed by paparazzi while getting drunk in a bar, how bad would it affect his reputation?

But since Ye Zexi took the initiative to ask him this time, Wei Lifei would definitely not refuse, but he had to consider a little bit more when choosing the location.

After thinking about it, Wei Lifei still felt that his bar was the safest, so he called the manager in advance and asked him to clear the bar for the night.

Wei Lifei arrived before Ye Zexi. Ye Zexi was a little surprised to see such a quiet bar, but he soon understood that this was specially arranged by Wei Lifei.

"Sorry for troubling you." Since there was no one in the hall, Ye Zexi didn't go to the VIP room. He directly found a clean deck to sit down and took off his hat and mask.

"Bring a few bottles of good wine here." Wei Lifei said to the waiter beside him, and sat down beside Ye Zexi.

The waiter quickly brought a few bottles of wine, Wei Lifei poured two glasses and handed it to Ye Zexi.

The two touched the glass lightly, and each took a sip.

Before Ye Zexi put down the glass, Wei Lifei slapped the table with his hand and looked at Ye Zexi and said, "Let's talk, what happened? Why are you coming to me for a drink?"

He had not touched alcohol for a long time. The wine in the mouth was mellow and a bit strong. Ye Zexi frowned and said uncomfortably: "Nothing, can't I call my friend out for a simple drink?"

"Come on!" Wei Lifei glanced at Ye Zexi, "I still don't know you?"

Although Ye Zexi's personality had indeed changed a lot since his debut, it seemed that the habit of asking him out drinking every time the other has relationship trouble still hasn't changed!

Yes, the last time he asked him out for a drink, it seemed like it was when he was chasing that person?

If Wei Lifei remembered correctly, it should be Tang Jing.

"Tell me," Wei Lifei filled the glasses again, "who did you fall in love with this time?"

Ye Zexi frowned: "What do you mean by who I fall in love..."

Halfway through the conversation, Ye Zexi's heart suddenly froze.

There was undisguised consternation on his face: Is that it?4

Notes:
[1] I want to note here that unlike English and some other languages, Chinese characters are quite different; for these characters, it's either you know it or you don't know it; there is no such thing as "trying to pronounce it" like in English. So when he said he recognizes the characters, meaning he knows how to read them and know what they mean. Because if he doesn't recognize the character, then he would not know what it means. So I just want to put it out here for everyone ^^
