“So that’s my point! Why can’t affectionate people enjoy sweet relationships without being bullied by heartless scumbags? In my opinion, let those two cheating scumbags create and sell their own drama. If you two can find happiness in hurting each other, wouldn’t everyone be happy?”
At a pet shop named Petty in the Zhongxin District of S City.
Qi Yang, with disheveled hair resembling a bird’s nest, holding a kettle, dressed in a tattered shirt, and dragging his shoes, strolled through the hall.
Meanwhile, Li Weidu leaned against the counter, observing pet shop owner Wei Xuan feeding the cat.
Upon hearing the conversation, Li Weidu froze, and the cabinet banged with a loud sound.
“…”
What does Qi Yang know?
Did he make a guess? Or did he see through me because of my restlessness, constantly glancing at my phone, and observing my actions? Could it be that he never went back that day and instead hid near the ship, witnessing the entire incident all night?
No, that’s impossible.
Li Weidu’s phone had been silent from yesterday afternoon until this morning, receiving no important messages or calls, except for reports from his subordinates.
Feeling a bit frustrated…
He recalled docking early yesterday morning, and the flood of group messages that inundated his phone the moment the signal was restored.
In the “Take Medicine Dry Fight Huadong Hongxing Gang” group, Zuo Yan, Ying Jian, and others were in a frenzy almost all night.
“Where’s Brother Kai? Brother Kai isn’t online on Saturday night?”
“Brother Kai, come out and talk!”
“Brother Kai is missing and has been abducted! He’s got a great figure and can work; whoever buys him will profit!”
“Aha, Brother Kai is basically abducting people, right? He must have gone out for an affair; hehehe, maybe he deceived some long-legged beauty to block the door tomorrow morning!”
“Brother Kai, if you don’t show up tomorrow, we’ll call the police~”
While some expressed concern and searched for him, others speculated and teased. Li Weidu quietly examined his own situation.
Qi Yang, no new updates.
Wei Xuan, no new updates.
Aunt Bai, Li Weidu’s mother in City A, had no new updates.
No one noticed that he hadn’t returned home all night. Even if it were a real shipwreck, no one would be able to save him, and no one would even think of reporting him missing.
Popularity is a fickle thing. Li Weidu began to seriously contemplate whether he truly needed to expand his circle of friends.
His eyes dimmed, his slender fingers shook, and he sent a red envelope to the group.
Decision made! From now on, he would post red envelopes at a fixed time every Saturday. So even if this group of people didn’t care about him, they would at least think about his red envelope if something went wrong?
Um! There’s nothing wrong with building good relationships with Ji Kai’s friends! This diverse group, ranging from construction workers to kebab sellers, painters, doctors, and police officers, could become valuable connections in the future!
With the red envelope, the group exploded in excitement.
“Wow, Brother Weidu sent out red envelopes again!”
“Hello, Brother Weidu! It’s so early, Brother Weidu!”
“Where’s Brother Weidu? When are we going to hang out together again?”
Li Weidu calmly observed the flood of messages on the screen. One by one, they emerged. Good. Money could indeed buy friends.
Ji Kai: “…”
Ji Kai: “You guys… pay attention to your moral integrity.”
Jiang Xiaobai: “Huh? Wait, as soon as Brother Weidu showed up, Brother Kai did too! I sense a conspiracy here! Couldn’t you… …”
A huge “hehehe” expression appeared.
What nonsense! Li Weidu even wanted to frown, but suddenly found that the corners of his mouth were rising unconsciously, and he was so startled that he decisively put on an awkward face.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a shadow cast on the phone screen. When he looked up, all he could see was Ji Kai’s chest, sexy neck, Adam’s apple… Ji Kai was suddenly very close to him.
Face to face, with both hands extended, Li Weidu felt at that moment that he was about to be kissed!
“Necklace.” As a result, the sexy lips slowly and gently uttered two words.
…ah?
“Your travel souvenir necklace was left on the ship just now. Now, I picked it up for you. Although there is only a glass cover left and the salt is gone inside, maybe it can be decorated with other things.” As he said that, he wiped his hands, set aside the broken hair in his ears, and helped him put the necklace on.
“…” The pendant dropped and hit his heart hard. Li Wei felt as if he had been picked up by an eagle, flown up and down in the sky, and then returned to the ground safely.
“The sand on this beach is quite good, and there are small, colorful shells. In fact, if you get some here and say that the sea sand is not from here, people will not disbelieve you if you tell them that this is the sand of the Mediterranean Sea.”
Ji Kai probably wouldn’t know.
After he said this, he lowered his head and searched all the way from the seaside to the parking lot. He stared at the soft, snow-white sand under his feet, passing countless tiny shells, trying to find one or two that would fit perfectly into his glass cover.
But he never saw anything he liked.
Ji Kai got on the bus, and Li Weidu was unwilling to give up: “Wait for me.” Silly ran to the blind spot behind the car, picked up some fine crystal sand from the ground, and threw it into the glass cover.
Obviously, the sand in the parking lot felt much rougher than that on the beach, and the color was also yellow, not as fine and white as before, and there were no small shells. If he had known, it would have been better to grab a handful just now… It didn’t match the aesthetic. But the bit that was put into the glass cover was reluctant to fall back to the ground.
He said… Let’s pretend.
Li Weidu is already in his twenties, and he is not a young boy. Although he didn’t want to admit it, he probably already knew what his current situation of being both depressed and a little moved meant.
But how could this happen?
How did that happen! That kind…isn’t his type!
After all, his body…it’s really not okay to have a body like that! Too, too much… I keep wanting to touch it! If I keep it next to me, I won’t be able to concentrate on my work! I’m afraid my body will collapse soon!
His appearance is even more…
ahhh!
…
“Really, Weidu?” Qi Yang’s handsome face suddenly came close, bringing Mr. Li back to reality from the flying horses and beasts in his thoughts. Even the Little Rabbit Ya looked a little sinister.
“…” Li Weidu once again realized clearly that he was probably a mindless rabbit and had fallen into a big carrot pit that he couldn’t get out of.
Also being so close, Ji Kai’s temperature and breath made him so nervous that his heart almost jumped out every minute.
But after switching to Qi Yang, well, there was no fluctuation in my heart.
“You think so too, don’t you? It’s better to let the two cheating couples get together and live a good life together, don’t you think?”
Li Weidu’s mind exploded: “We just… I, with him It’s nothing!”
At the same time, he stepped back subconsciously, and the pet food on the counter fell to the floor. Fortunately, they were all neatly sealed with sealing clips and were not scattered everywhere.
The orange cat in the cage, which was still in the period of castration and training, stood up upon hearing the sound, excitedly holding up its delicate body that had lost its balls, and looked at the bulging cat’s belly.
“Haha?” Qi Yang was stunned, “Weidu, what are you talking about?”
Li Weidu: “…You said it first!”
Qi Yang pointed to the TV behind Li Weidu that was muted but the picture was still moving: “I’m talking about the TV series here. It’s been very popular recently; haven’t you followed it? It’s just that the heroine and the hero both cheated on each other. It’s a drama about true love that moves the heavens and the earth. It made me so angry! But you, what were you talking about just now?”
“Here’s the thermometer, let’s see if our sickly gentleman has a fever again?”
Pet shop owner Wei Xuan was squatting in front of the cage to feed the cat.
Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at Li Weidu quietly, as if he had seen through everything.
“Qi Yang, is that person you met that day really that good?”
“Who are you talking about? Oh…you are talking about the big-breasted migrant worker who cured all of us who have been disabled for many years? Why wasn’t it that day? Didn’t I report to you the first time I came back? He’s so handsome! Have you lost your memory? Wait, what the hell!”
A chocolate commercial was inserted in the middle of the episode – Zhu Ling’s various silky, smooth chocolate…
Qi Yang had morning sickness on the spot.
“Change the channel, change the channel, change the channel! Hurry! This guy is annoying! He changed the script randomly to please the director and stole my male lead role! Now he is sent to South America, hahaha!”
Li Weidu: “Speaking of which, Qi Yang, you don’t have to work recently? Do you come to the store every day to fish?”
“What! This is called cherishing myself, and I don’t accept random advertisements and endorsements for bad dramas.”
In fact, this is called laziness, but it doesn’t matter.
“Don’t talk about me. Ye Yin doesn’t have the nerve to look for you anymore recently, right?”
“…”
Actually, he did.
…
When he returned home from the beach yesterday morning, Ji Kai expressed his desire to experience the feel of his Land Rover.
Li Weidu found himself in the passenger seat of his own car for the first time, initially feeling a bit uneasy. However, after adjusting the seat and stretching out his long legs, everything became surprisingly leisurely and comfortable.
Originally, this was Ye Yin’s designated seat. It contained his fur slippers, favorite snacks, and drinks. Li Wei felt grateful that he had gathered these during the car wash the day before yesterday; otherwise…
The road back to the seaside passed through a remote suburb, providing ample space and a smooth ride with hardly any traffic. Towering ginkgo trees lined the way, creating a picturesque scene.
“…How about driving to the city later for breakfast? I know a fantastic place for morning tea, and I’ll treat you.” Li Weidu initially believed that the lure of delicious food had a 100% success rate with Ji Kai.
After all, considering what had happened before? Ji Kai could even eat sukiyaki after a long night of fighting and returning from the hospital, not to mention other banquets he didn’t dare to attend.
Result: “Honestly, today is Sunday, and I still have to prepare…”
Ji Kai temporarily halted the word “class” and almost revealed his secret: “I still have to prepare some matters related to moving bricks tomorrow.”
“…” What preparations are needed for moving bricks?
Li Wei wasn’t happy. He even started to silently wonder if he was too dull, causing others to reach their limit after spending one night with him and eagerly wanting to part ways.
Ye Yin had mentioned before that he was quite boring.
…
Just as he was feeling down, Ji Kai suddenly slowed down and parked the car on the side of the road.
Li Wei didn’t understand, but he noticed a childlike smile in the corner of the man’s eyes: “Come on, get down, and take a look!”
Upon stepping out of the car, colorful flowers surrounded them.
Ginkgo and maple leaves fell like butterflies in autumn. The whole world was adorned in gorgeous, silent beauty as if flowing beneath the infinite extension and brilliant autumn light of the sun.
“I thought just now that this place seems to be more beautiful than Qiufeng Mountain Scenic Area. Sure enough.”
Li Weidu was left speechless.
He pondered how the person before him had eyes that discovered beauty. In this clear blue sky, with the ground covered in endless white and bright red and gold mixed with green leaves, the person in front of him seemed to be the brightest color in this picture.
His initially downcast mood suddenly became sparkling again. Something exhilarating surged in his blood, almost making his usually cold skin start to tingle.
But he could do nothing. As he observed Ji Kai standing under the massive red maple, stepping on the squeaking red and yellow leaves, a desire to capture the scene overwhelmed him.
Dazedly, he picked up his phone, the picture frozen, the composition perfect, and he was about to press “capture” at that very moment. However, the screen changed.
The caller—Ye Yin?
Li Weidu was stunned, genuinely surprised. Because, even during their dating days, Ye Yin never took the initiative to call him without a reason. After the breakup, he hadn’t even reached out once.
But come to think of it, there were indeed some belongings of his at home that hadn’t been retrieved. Several documents, as well as his shoes and watch that were stashed away from the car before…
Regretfully glancing at Ji Kai’s back, just a bit… it was so good just now! After sighing and answering, Ye Yin’s coquettish voice sounded on the other end: “Weidu? Why haven’t you contacted me recently?”
Li Weidu: “…”
He found himself utterly clueless about how to respond to the next statement. Ji Kai, carefully examining a ginkgo leaf, turned around to see a troubled expression on Li Weidu’s face. Raising his eyebrows, he walked a few steps closer.
“Ye Yin, didn’t we… break up?”
“We can still keep in touch even after breaking up.”
“…” Li Weidu didn’t know how to reply now: “Typically, after a breakup, people don’t stay in touch. Yes.”
It was just a two-word reply, and Ji Kai had already grasped the situation. He raised his chin and gestured, “Mr. Li, you need to stand firm, don’t fall for sweet words.”
In the end, Li Weidu, not knowing how Ji Kai interpreted it, directly turned on the hands-free call.
Only Ye Yin’s soft voice complaining could be heard: “Can’t we still be nice to each other after breaking up? Weidu, is your so-called ‘liking’ that shallow?”
Damn it – such shamelessness exists in the world. Brother Kai wanted to throttle someone upon hearing this.
But before he could instruct Mr. Li on how to deal with the little troublemaker, the call abruptly ended with a “beep——”.
Ji Kai muttered, “What is this annoying little troublemaker thinking?”
Wait, could it be that Ye Yin is having regrets?
Is he relinquishing his pride and attempting to return to Li Weidu?
So, has he finally understood the loneliness and hardships of life after being abandoned by Zhu Ling, without a sponsor to support him and no good man to pamper him, cook for him, and pick him up? Has he hit rock bottom and wants to turn back?
Ha ha ha ha! It’s another cycle of heaven and earth…
Why is he smiling so happily? Li Weidu blushed.
“Mr. Li, why aren’t you laughing? Great revenge must be avenged! Aren’t you thrilled?”
“…”
According to Ji Kai’s understanding, there seem to be only two basic methods of revenge in the world.
One is to directly tear the opponent apart, kill the enemy, withdraw resources, and make the little troublemaker miserable in the entertainment industry. However, Li Weidu is entangled with old feelings and may not be capable of such actions.
Fortunately, there is a second method, the revenge of spiritual crushing.
That is, the wealthy CEO himself continues to be handsome and prosperous. Shortly after the little troublemaker leaves him, he suddenly realizes that his previous lifestyle cannot match up, and the person who unconditionally loved him is no longer available to serve him. The sense of disparity soars, and he starts to yearn to return.
“Mr. Li, let me tell you, hurry up and find a good partner!” ”
Then go mad and treat that person well in front of the little troublemaker. Let the little troublemaker know that losing you is the biggest regret in his life, and he will never, ever win you back!” ”
From now on, he can only watch you being kind to others, gnawing at the edge of his bed in regret, haha, that’s right!”
Really, just thinking about it. Cool.
Li Wei was barely paying attention to what he was saying; all he could think about was… please stop laughing!
That kind of sinister smile is truly… dazzling.
It feels warmer than the sun, so bright that there are clearly fallen leaves all over the place, and it doesn’t feel like autumn anymore.
…
Simultaneously, in the attic on the second floor of a petite Western-style building, the airborne particles danced in golden hues under the sunlight.
Before numerous packed belongings could be unpacked, a young man of mixed-race heritage, boasting three-dimensional facial features and slightly curly hair, perched on the windowsill. Clutching a purloined mobile phone, he extended his long legs adorned in tattered jeans and rolled his eyes.
Ye Yin sported a perplexed expression, questioning, “Qian Qian, why did you hang up on me?”
Shen Qian retorted, “Little Ye Zi, are you dense?!”
Ye Yin defended himself, saying, “But it was you who instructed me to call Li Weidu.”
“I told you to make the right call! But as we just discussed, what is the main purpose of our phone call?”
“Yes, it is to implore Li Weidu… to continue being the sponsor for my acting career! You told me not to let go, not to release Big Fish easily, and to persist in holding onto him even after parting ways. Didn’t I just follow your advice to the letter…”
Shen Qian interrupted, asking, “What exactly did you do as I advised?”
Hello?
I expected you to say something sweet to evoke memories! Or pretend to display vulnerability and coax him into continuing to care for you and never forgetting you. Damn, you truly have a knack for it. Can’t you forcefully suppress the line “Can’t you continue to be nice to me after we break up?”?!
It’s as if someone owes you kindness! Were you so spoiled by him that you couldn’t fend for yourself, and your reasoning has gone downhill?
Honestly, it’s fine if that guy named Li is still too oblivious to react and still doesn’t have feelings for you. But what if he wakes up? Won’t his dog bark when he hears this?!
“Give him another call! I’ll guide you through every word!”
