The Villain Just Wants to be a Salted Fish

Ye Zexi and Tang Jing came to the lounge. As soon as the door was closed, Tang Jing said, "Why don't you look happy today?"

Ye Zexi was taken aback, and raised his eyes to look at Tang Jing, with a bit of astonishment in his eyes: "So...obvious?"

Tang Jing smiled at him and said frankly: "Maybe because I have been watching you, so I notice it."

Ye Zexi also smiled, but said reluctantly: "I thought I covered it well."

"Others shouldn't notice it, but people who are familiar with you could still see the difference." Tang Jing sat down on the sofa and leaned back slightly, observing Ye Zexi's face, "What happened? You can tell me."

Although Tang Jing had probably guessed what happened, he still wanted Ye Zexi to tell him.

Ye Zexi sat down with him. People, who are familiar with me, will see it? Will He Jinyun...

Forget it, now is not the time to think so much.

Ye Zexi sighed after a while, and then slowly frowned.

He was thinking about whether he should tell Tang Jing.

If this matter were told to Tang Jing directly, would it not be so good...

After all, he rejected Tang Jing's feelings not too long ago. It was somewhat strange to talk about his current love problem with someone who used to court him.

But Ye Zexi changed his mind after thinking that Tang Jing seemed to be so calm. No matter how coy he was, it would make the relationship between him and Tang Jing even more strange.

But he does not need to tell Tang Jing that the person was He Jinyun, right?

So Ye Zexi didn't say a name to Tang Jing at all, only said that he liked someone, and then told Tang Jing about his troubles.

After speaking in one breath, Ye Zexi let out a long sigh of relief.

Sure enough, he still had to say it. After saying it, Ye Zexi felt that the stone that had been pressing in his heart for the past few days fell to the ground, and it was much more comfortable.

After hearing what Ye Zexi said, Tang Jing had a complicated look on and fell into a long silence.

Ye Zexi waited for a while for Tang Jing to speak. He looked at Tang Jing in a puzzled manner: "Why, do you also think this is a problem of the century?"

"No," Tang Jing shook his head and paused for a while before he said with some difficulty, "I'm just a little puzzled, why do you think you are 1?"3

The smile at the corner of Ye Zexi's mouth slowly froze on his face.

He blinked his eyes, his dense eyelashes swept up and down like two small brushes, his eyes were confused.

"You...what did you say?" Ye Zexi almost stopped breathing. Did he really make a mistake just now?

Tang Jing raised his eyes and looked at Ye Zexi, with a very complicated expression: "I said, why do you think you are 1?"

Ye Zexi suddenly became anxious: "Isn't it? Is it possible that I am not 1 in your heart? I chased you before..."

"In the beginning I did think you are," Tang Jing interrupted Ye Zexi, "So when you chased me, I rejected you. There is also a reason for this, because we have the same attribute, but after getting to know you, you are very different from what I had imagined."

After a pause, Tang Jing was also a little awkward: "I...I always think you are 0."8

Ye Zexi: "..."

What did he say?

But why does Tang Jing think he is 0?

Ye Zexi fell into deep self-doubt.

He is 1.8 meters tall. Although he is not as well-proportioned as He Jinyun, he can be said to be well-proportioned. The standard fitness is thin and some muscle.

Look at his face again, although the facial features are more refined than other men's, it's not that there are no handsome features, right?!

The other can't just think he's a 0 because he played A Zi in "Famous General" and he is also a 0 in the online HeXi CP!

In XiTang CP, he was still a 1, why didn't the others think he is 1?

After a while, Ye Zexi retrieved his voice and tried to argue: "I am really a 1, and even if you look at my height, I..."

"Height is not the only criteria," Tang Jing interrupted him.

Ye Zexi: "..."

It makes sense, but he is feeling very offensive!

As if aware of Ye Zexi's unpleasant aura, Tang Jing said again: "Have you ever been in love before?"

Ye Zexi shook his head.

Tang Jing then continued: "So you haven't been in a relationship, how can you be sure you are 1?"

"Then you have been in one?" Ye Zexi asked back.

Tang Jing was stunned for a moment, then nodded after a while: "So I'm pretty sure."

Ye Zexi's pupils shrank slightly.

This is odd.

Ye Zexi remembered the plot in the original novel very clearly. In the novel, Tang Jing had never had a relationship, let alone a relationship experience.

Could it be because he transmigrated over, and the butterfly effect caused the character experience in this world to change?

Tang Jing's voice continued: "And, I also learned through that relationship that when you really like someone, you would not care too much about attributions. When I didn't meet my ex, I firmly believed that I was 0. But later I discovered that if you really love someone, you are willing to change for that person."

"If you really like a person, you actually don't mind the attribution," Tang Jing said.

Ye Zexi pursed his lips, did not speak, he was a little shocked by the words Tang Jing had just said.

Tang Jing actually fell in love!

And Tang Jing said that he is also 1!

Ye Zexi suddenly realized a somewhat terrifying fact--

"Then...you confessed to me at the time, and you also wanted to—" Ye Zexi raised his eyes, looking at Tang Jing with a complicated expression.1

Tang Jing coughed lightly and looked away. After a while, he nodded: "Well, because I always think you are 0..."

Ye Zexi: "..."

Without looking at Ye Zexi's complicated look, Tang Jing changed the subject: "But it's not important anymore. Let's talk about your matter first. I think if you really like him, or if he likes you too, I think he would not mind the position."

"So does he like you?" Tang Jing asked.

"You said you like Ye Zexi?" Chen Zhengtian's volume suddenly increased a few decibels, and he looked at He Jinyun in shock.

He Jinyun suddenly regretted it, why did he have to tell Chen Zhengtian about this matter. If it were a friend to consult about this matter with, Shan Zeyu would be a suitable candidate. He is also quite experienced. In contrast, Chen Zhengtian is not only a stubborn and old man, but also a proper heterosexual.

More importantly, Chen Zhengtian would still defend Ye Zexi for no reason.

Sure enough, the next second, Chen Zhengtian's voice sounded: "Okay, you kid! I said why do you always stay with Zexi lately, it turns out that you are scheming something!"3

"The CP hot searches are arranged by you, right?"

"What CP fans are being led on by you, right? They are all premeditated, right?"

One problem after another was thrown over. How could this be to help He Jinyun with his problem? This was simply to come to settle the score with him.

After asking, Chen Zhengtian even began to doubt He Jinyun's motives for the initial casting——

"You devil, you swore to me that Ye Zexi is the perfect fit for A Zi, not because you were attracted to him, did you? It seems that the purpose of recruiting him to the crew is to make further contact?"

He Jinyun had a headache: "Do you think I am such a person?"

"Humph!" Chen Zhengtian snorted heavily.

Of course he can trust He Jinyun's working ethnic, but he knew at first glance that He Jinyun liked Ye Zexi, and Chen Zhengtian was still very upset.

This feeling is the same as that of a child who he has worked so hard to nurture is being taken away by the wolf. Now Chen Zhengtian was very dissatisfied with He Jinyun.

Although Ye Zexi is not his child.

I'm still unhappy!

He Jinyun knew that the conversation could no longer continue, so he gave up altogether, turned around and prepared to go out: "Forget it..."

"Stop!" Chen Zhengtian stopped He Jinyun, "Where are you going?"

"He has been avoiding me for several days, and I have to talk to him today." He Jinyun said with a frown.

Even if he is not sure, he will try.

Chen Zhengtian sighed, but compromised: "What are you going to say?"

He Jinyun still didn't loosen his eyebrows. After thinking for a while, he said, "Just talk it out. I don't want to drag it on anymore. The longer I drag this on, the misunderstanding will only get worse."1

After a pause, He Jinyun turned around and smiled helplessly at Chen Zhengtian: "I have never been in a relationship, and I don't know how to manage a relationship. But I know that in all relationships, once misunderstandings arise, they must be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you wait any longer, you can only wait for the downfall of the relationship."

Chen Zhengtian didn't refute this time, and only asked after a while: "Then what if it fails?"

"Failure is not terrible," Tang Jing said, "I'm more afraid of not even having the courage to take a step forward."

After talking, Tang Jing smiled, with a faint bitterness in his smile: "Look, didn't I also confess to you? All of my worries are useless if I don't say it, even if there is a 50/50 chance at being rejected. Also, isn't there a 50/50 chance of being successful?"

"You just worry too much. What if the person you like also likes you? If no one takes a step forward, then this relationship will lead to nowhere, in the end even being friends is not an option."

"Speak up, after you open your heart, you can at least be friends."

Ye Zexi sighed heavily after hearing this: "But I'm afraid that being friends is impossible after that."

"But at least you won't regret it." Tang Jing said, "If you just choose to alienate yourself and don't say anything clearly like you are now, it will be an invisible harm to you and Teacher He."

"Just like me at the time, I also knew that I would probably be rejected by you, but I still chose to tell you." Tang Jing bent his eyes and showed a bright smile that could be called a bright smile.

"As for the attribute issue, I don't think this is the most important issue."

The tip of Ye Zexi's heart moved slightly, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.

Thinking of his sudden alienation these days, Ye Zexi suddenly felt a little guilty.

Teacher He... must have noticed something, right?

Ye Zexi felt a little annoyed at once, and blamed himself for making such a dumb decision.

Then he now... Ye Zexi finally made a decision. Rather than choosing a day, it's better to do it today!

After thinking about the problem all at once, Ye Zexi just felt better.

Suddenly standing up from the sofa, Ye Zexi said sincerely to Tang Jing: "Tang Tang, thank you very much for today!"

Tang Jing knew that Ye Zexi had thought clearly, and a trace of sorrow flowed slowly in his heart, but Tang Jing still kept smiling: "If you can figure it out, then I will go first. Do your best."+

Before Ye Zexi could speak, someone knocked on the door of the lounge--"Zexi, are you inside?"
