Sure enough, Yu Xingzhe persisted, âI wanted to go to Parisâon my own willâto grow up more, it has nothing to do with that. Do you think Iâm such a scaredy-cat that Iâd run away just because of such a thing? How ridiculous!â
SUN immediately understood the moment he heard Yu Xingzheâs words.
Yu Xingzhe was the kind of person who wouldnât feel comfortable changing his living environment.
He was like a languid kitten which should be pampered and loved by everyone. He should also live in his comfort zone where he could enjoy coziness and feel content.
Yet, Yu Xingzhe suddenly left home and lived alone in an unknown environment. He wouldnât have done this if not for having been stimulated so badly.
This could only mean one thing: Yu Xingzhe truly liked Ye Chen. He threw away his comfortable life and went to an unfamiliar place because he was afraid he would hurt Ye Chen.
Yu Xingzheâs decision to leave country Z was the most painful thing to do, at least for him.
Despite that, he had left resolutely.
SUNâs heart sank. He said, âYou should rest earlier. Iâll leave in a minute.â
Yu Xingzhe responded with a grunt, still in low spirits.
SUN said, âGood night.â
Although Yu Xingzhe was a little angry, exchanging greetings (with SUN) had grown to be a habit, thus he said sincerely, âGood night.â
Noticing that, SUNâs heart softened a lot. He turned off the lights and adjusted the air conditionerâs setting properly before he turned around and left.
Once he returned home, Yu Xingzhe was praised endlessly by everyone.
For example...
âLittle Zhe has grown more and more handsome!â
âIt looks like youâre taking good care of your body, too. You must have exercised regularly, havenât you?â
âI heard that heâs pretty remarkable in his studies, too!â
âHe has been involved in company management even at such a young age!â
Mother Yu and Mother Ye were close friends. They also have similar traits, such as treasuring their children dearly.
Mother Yu made modest remarks, âHeâs a youngster, after all. A little tidying up here and there is enough to make him look very handsome.â My Zhe Zhe is the most handsome of all, after all.
âThis boy has always loved to exercise.â Zhe Zhe unexpectedly works out now, Paris is truly such a miraculous place.
âThatâs what learning is all about. This boy is just a bit more quick-witted.â Heâs not just remarkable in studies, alright? Heâs incredibly remarkable! My Zhe Zhe has gotten the first prize scholarship!
âSince when is he involved with managing the company? His brother is just finding some easy task for him to practice on.â Heâs not just involved in managing the company, he directly manages it! Zhe Zhe is the president!
Mother Yu was extremely overjoyed. In fact, she didnât demand a lot from Yu Xingzhe, she only wanted him to live comfortably. Still, Old Yuâs relatives were too intimidating. In the past 18 years, Yu Xingzhe had always been delicate. When they heard that he went abroad and then returned after &#k2018;winning success and recognitionâ, they were all truly overwhelmed!
If it was Yu Xingzhe from the past, he would feel very pleased right now.
Being flattered endlessly like this, he would probably have gotten so cocky he would fly to the sky soon.
But now, Yu Xingzhe simply smiled, looked around, and showed some courtesy. He looked appropriately elegant, but actually felt very diffident inside.
When the Ye Family arrived, Ye Chenâs fair-skinned and tiny face appeared before him. Yu Xingzhe could feel his heart skip a beat.
SUN who was standing outside cast a quick glance at Yu Xingzhe.
The two families met and exchanged greetings. Mother Ye naturally wasnât so stingy as to keep praising Yu Xingzhe.
Others wouldnât notice it, but SUN could tell. Yu Xingzhe was so nervous that his back was perfectly straight. The smile on his lips was too forced. He kept avoiding eye contact, like he wanted to look at Ye Chen, yet at the same time didnât dare to.
Ye Chen took the initiative to greet Yu Xingzhe, âBrother Zhe, long time no see.â
The moment Yu Xingzhe heard Ye Chen calling him âBrother Zheâ, the tip of his ears turned slightly red. He clearly paused for a moment before replying in an indifferent tone, âMn, long time no see.â
Yu Xingzhe didnât look into Ye Chenâs eyes when he spoke. Ye Chen seemed to be somewhat disappointed and wanted to say a few more words to him, but Yu Xingzhe couldnât stay around Ye Chen any longer, so he turned around and went to where his father was.
Father Yu and Father Ye were chatting about economic and political issues. Since Yu Xingzhe had been taken care of (more like being disciplined) by SUN, he was more or less influenced by him and had his own views on these issues... Well, they were SUNâs views.
The two fathers found what Yu Xingzhe said rather interesting, thus they happily dragged him along to join their âgangâ. The three men chatted quite joyfully.
Poor Ye Chen didnât know even a single thing about these topics, thus he couldnât keep up with their conversations at all. He could only stand there pitifully.
Actually, Yu Xingzhe wasnât much interested in these things. Firstly, he didnât dare to talk too much to Ye Chen. Secondly, he was a human, after all; he subconsciously wanted to show off, especially in front of âthe person he likedâ. Yu Xingzhe used to know nothing about these things, too, but now he was an âelite returning homeâ. Being able to show off in front of Ye Chen for a while didnât sound bad at all.
As a result, Yu Xingzhe decided to speak with fervor and conviction to both fathers. Ye Chen became more puzzled the more he listened to them, completely baffled from beginning to end.
SUN who observed from afar could understand very well that Ye Chen didnât like Yu Xingzhe. They were not suitable to be together, either.
Soon, the dinner party ended and Yu Xingzhe didnât get the chance to see Ye Chen anymore.
SUN considerately asked Yu Xingzhe, âShall I make an appointment for you to meet with Mr. Ye?â
It would have been better if SUN didnât ask, because now that he already did...
Yu Xingzhe promptly replied, âNo, no, no! I wonât meet him!â
SUN said, âIt isnât everyday you return home. You should have a get-together as friends.â
Yu Xingzhe waved his hand. âI wonât have any get-together, I wonât.â
SUN wanted to say something but then hesitated. He looked like he still wanted to try to talk Yu Xingzhe around.
Yu Xingzhe feared that SUN would try to convince him, so he hurriedly stated, âI already said that I wonât meet him, so I wonât. I wonât meet him even if you arrange it.â
SUN sighed. He had no choice but to âreluctantlyâ agree.
In fact, if he had truly wanted to make an appointment for them to meet, SUN wouldnât have taken the initiative to propose it.
It was not an exaggeration to say that it wasnât impossible (for him to succeed) if SUN wanted to help Yu Xingzhe to pursue Ye Chen.
Yu Xingzhe stayed at home for less than half a month. While staying at home, he felt so perturbed his feelings were extremely mixed.
On the one hand, he wanted to meet Ye Chen, on the other hand, he didnât dare to meet Ye Chen.
He always hoped that he would meet Ye Chen by chance, but unfortunately, SUN was always by his side. Even if he had the chance to meet Ye Chen by chance, he wouldnât be able to meet him.
A day before returning to Paris, Yu Xingzhe kept grabbing his cellphone and stared at it for a long time.
SUN said, âShall I help you make an appointment with Mr. Ye?â
Yu Xingzhe would have gotten through Ye Chenâs number if SUN didnât ask that.
But since he had asked...
Old Yu immediately turned off his cellphone like a frightened kitten, then frantically said, âWhat appointment? I already told you I wonât meet him!â
SUN asked considerately, âIs it really unnecessary?â
Yu Xingzhe exclaimed, âItâs unnecessary!!!â
Right at this time, the refreshments were served. As expected, SUN immediately changed the subject.
Back in Paris, Yu Xingzhe sighed as he regretted his choice. He rated his back-to-home trip a solid -100.
Afterwards, Yu Xingzhe was still immersed in his tragic unrequited love that he could not free himself from.
But of course, that only lasted two to three days. Soon, Yu Xingzhe âpulledâ himself up, discarded the haziness of his feeling, then engrossed himself in the energetic real life.
When Yu Xingzhe was in a good mood, SUN began to imperceptibly influence Yu Xingzhe again.
For instance, SUN illustrated to Yu Xingzhe on how a person would behave when they truly liked someoneâindirectly telling Yu Xingzhe that Ye Chen didnât like him.
Another example was when SUN accidentally quoted an example of how âa lot of brothers fall out with each other after confessingâ.
SUN even hinted at one of the Ye Familyâs problems, such as Old Man Ye who was in poor health. If he knew that his obedient grandson was going out with a man, it might infuriate him.
In short, all kinds of Yu Xingzheâs views were silently altered by SUN.
Did it work?
It worked pretty well.
About one year later, Yu Xingzhe suddenly told SUN, âI donât think I could go on like this.â
SUN pretended that he didnât understand. He simply smiled tenderly and said, âHm?â
Yu Xingzhe, âI want to completely forget about Ye Chen and leave this feeling behind. I mustnât ruin Ye Chenâs life!â
SUNâs smile extended into his eyes. His pair of azure eyes were bright and clear like the blue sky.
Seeing that, Yu Xingzhe was stunned that he nearly forgot what he was about to say.
SUN said warmly, âDonât worry, take your time.â
Yu Xingzhe inexplicably felt his heart thump for a moment. He averted his gaze and said, âIn any case, thatâs it. Iâm sure I could do it!â
SUN didnât say anything in response. He simply leaned over Yu Xingzhe.
Yu Xingzhe couldnât help but lean backwards.
SUN took Yu Xingzheâs cellphone from beside his leg and said softly, âItâs out of battery, let me charge it for you.â
So heâs thinking of taking my cellphone... Right, otherwise, what else was he about to do?
Has Old Yu truly been enlightened?
Did SUNâs âperfectâ plan truly work that well?
Hehehe.
A month later, Yu Xingzhe accepted a passionate confession from a foreign girl.
Yu Xingzhe: What is the way to get over this feeling quickly? SUN told me that starting a new relationship is the quickest way!
T/N: Hi! Really sorry for the late update, itâs the end of semester so I had to take care of some things. Amaris-san had been busy with moving, too, so thereâs that. Donât worry, updates would still be once a week, just that itâd be sporadic. I apologize in advance for that I promise Iâll manage my schedule better soon!
Anyway, the title is just to...uh...explain SUN and Yu Xingzheâs behaviors/personalities in this chapter or in general? Something like that. Also, heh, SUN, this scheming boi... It wonât work on A Zhe, heâs dense you had to slap it directly in his face!! See, it backfired on u SUN bby!!! SFDFDSFSDFSGSFGFDFGHGHFHHFH I CANâT WITH THESE TWOâ Pls look forward to more of their silliness hhhh~
