Ye Chenâs eyes opened wide in surprise for awhile then he said grumpily, "What the hell!?"
The death system added just in time, "This mission will last for two days, just complete it within the given time and youâre good. Furthermore, your life point wonât be deducted for the first day."
Ye Chen had a dumbfounded face and said, "So thereâs such modus operandi too?"
The death system said, "I have to consider the host too. This mission is more difficult to complete, so if I forced you to complete it in a day, isnât it risking your life?"
Ye Chen, "......"
The death system said again, "I am a considerate system for sustainable development."
Ye Chen called out, "Death system."
The death system made a cute face and said, "Huh, are you calling for me?"
Ye Chen said in one breath, "I want you to go and die!"
Death system, "......"
Ye Chen was very angry. He just said that he liked... Ahhh no, that was not it... He was saying that he would try to like Ren Jing, and as a result, his daily mission changed from teasing to abuse. Wasnât this bullying!?
Grieve? How to make him sad?
What must Ye Chen do so that Ren Jing feel sad!?
Ye Chen was unable to sleep anymore, so he sat on the bed with his legs crossed and began to search on Baidu on how to make people sad.
The information came out in a wide variety, but none of them could be used as a reference.
The death system said faintly, "The keywords you used to search werenât right."
Ye Chen asked, "How so?"
The death system said, "You should search for... How to make your lover grieve for you."
Ye Chen, "......"
He paused for a moment, then spoke as he stumbled over his words, "W-we are not lovers yet."
Oh dear, he already went from ânot loversâ into ânot lovers yetâ! The death system felt a little pain in its tooth.
The death system said again, "Trust me, Daddy wonât deceive you."
Ye Chen answered, "Of course my dad wonât deceive me, but a garbage like you, I canât say for sure..."
Despite him having said so, Ye Chen still changed the keyword. This time, the results that pop out unexpectedly in a row were âX things you mustnât do as a lover. If you do, youâre going to make your lover grieve very muchâ.
So changing the keyword could actually make things appear......
Ye Chen clicked on them to have a look, then he immediately became speechless.
To hide himself and to pretend to disappear after having a quarrel? Hmmm, he was not sure if Ren Jing would become sad because of something like that, but he was going to hide foreal if that happened!
To simply say that he wanted to break up? Th-they have not even started dating yet!
To rake up the past? There doesnât seem to be anything worth bringing up...
To use his fame and status to threaten the other person? Even the rich Ye family cannot oppose Ren Jingâs power......
All of them are unreliable! Ye Chen sulkily turned off his phone and began to think of another way.
Ye Chen pondered for awhile about the people around him. He absolutely couldnât take any reference from Xia Sicheng and Du Ke. These two were deeply attached to each other all the time that they probably didnât know how to depict the word âgrieveâ.
As for Gu Xi... Well, that one had gone beyond grieving. One or two ordinary person wouldnât dare to do such matters.
Who was left then...
The rest of his friends were rabbles so they were heartless. For them to grieve for a certain someone? That wouldnât happen.
Right at that moment, his comrade Xiao Liu rushed over to report to him while looking very worn out after a long journey.
Ye Chen immediately caught him and asked, "What could you do that would make your wife sad?"
Xiao Liu replied foolishly, "Ah?"
Ye Chen urged, "Quickly spit it out!"
Xiao Liu deserved to be called âthe great assistant of Chinaâ. He responded promptly, "Sheâll be sad if I forget to commemorate the day we met, the anniversary of our Wedding Day,
Qi Xi Festival, Christmas, or Halloween."
Ye Chen, "......"
Xiao Liu blinked his eyes.
Ye Chen asked again, "Are there any other things that would make her sad?"
Xiao Liu thought for a moment then said again, "If I forget to buy her the latest seasonsâ shoes, bags, clothes, or glasses, sheâll be sad, too."
Ye Chen, "......"
Xiao Liu was sharp, so this time he said again without waiting for Ye Chen to ask him, "If I forget to get the autograph of the great movie king and the God of song Ren Jing for her, sheâs going to grieve a lot more."
Ye Chen couldnât ask anymore. He patted Xiao Liu on the shoulder and said, "Brother, itâs really not easy for you."
Xiao Liu responded, "Thatâs alright. Having a wife means you have to pamper her."
Ye Chen admitted that he was gay, so he couldnât really understand a straight manâs view of love.
But Ye Chen quickly turned his head and asked again, "Then, what sort of things could your wife do to you that would make you grieve?"
Xiao Liu deserved to be called a fine model of a good husband, "I wouldnât be sad no matter what my wife did to me."
Ye Chen rolled his eyes and said, "Even if she cuckolded you, you wouldnât be sad?"
Xiao Liu smiled, "That would not make me feel sad, more like murderous."
Ye Chen was totally speechless.
Xiao Liu thought for awhile, then said, "There were times when I was grieving, though."
Ye Chen hurriedly inquired, "Please tell me about it, Iâd like to hear."
Xiao Liu explained, "Last time, when her mother was in critical condition, she forced herself to smile when she was at the hospital during the day, but she kept crying secretly at night. Watching her being like that pained me a lot."
Ye Chen, "......"
Xiao Liu softened his voice considerably, "Whenever she pretended to cry, I felt that itâs funny and coaxed her happily, but when she cried foreal, I really didnât know how to coax her."
Ye Chen let out a sigh and said, "Iâm honestly not doing anything on this Paris trip. You go and take a stroll on Montaigne Avenue tomorrow. Bring back some gifts for her. Just swipe my card to buy whatever you like."
Xiao Liu said in confusion, "Eh......"
Ye Chen added, "Um...... Buy some for my mom, too......"
Xiao Liu knew Ye Chenâs temper very well so he laughed and unhesitatingly replied, "Iâll thank brother Chen first!"
Ye Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well, itâs not easy for you either!"
Xiao Liu was toyed with by Ye Chen early in the morning till he didnât know whether to laugh or cry, not realizing what Ye Chen was scheming.
Ye Chen loitered around in his room for half a day until Ren Jing sent him a message, "Are you awake?"
Ye Chen replied, "Iâve been awake since early in the morning."
"Letâs have breakfast?"
Ye Chenâs mood inexplicably became good as he replied again, "Okay."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Just as he sent the message, a doorbell could be heard from outside.
Xiao Liu hurriedly opened the door.
Ren Jing wasnât surprised to see Xiao Liu. Ren Jing greeted him.
Xiao Liu also said hello to Ren Jing then he said, "Brother Chen is inside."
Ren Jing went into the room. He caught sight of Ye Chen still wearing pajamas.
The dark colored pajamas made Ye Chenâs complexion looked fairer. His arms and legs that stretched out from them looked especially good.
Ye Chen said hurriedly, "Wait for me, Iâll change my clothes."
Ren Jing replied, "No rush, just take your time."
Ye Chen questioned, "Youâre going to re-shoot today?"
Ren Jing responded with a grunt.
Ye Chen asked him, "Where is it?"
Ren Jing answered, "In the Latin district."
Ye Chen then said, "Iâm going to go along to play."
Ren Jing stated, "You will feel bored."
"No, I wonât be," said Ye Chen, "Seeing you act is interesting."
Ren Jing couldnât help but raise the corner of his mouth.
The death system gave him a friendly reminder, "For the sake of the mission, you shouldnât go."
Ye Chen, "......"
He had totally forgotten about this issue!
The death system said, "Thereâs still time to repair it now."
Where would there still be time!! After he just said he would go, to then say he wouldnât go, that would have nothing to do with making Ren Jing sad, but more on how Ye Chen needs a spanking!
"Donât worry, there must still be a chance." Ye Chen comforted himself.
When he went to the wardrobe to change his clothes, Ye Chen then realized that there was a red mark on his neck.
He was staring at it blankly for quite a long time before he could react...... Was this because of Ren Jingâs kiss yesterday?
Ye Chen blushed, then he suddenly felt it burned there.
The death system thought inside its heart: Iâm afraid this mission is going to fail. Heâs purely being silly yet sweet, how can he even make someone sad?
After Ye Chen get dressed, he rubbed that mark lightly before he realized suddenly, "Oh no, did Xiao Liu saw this h-hickey?"
The death system said, "If he saw it, then just let him be."
Ye Chen replied, "But itâs not like I was doing anything with Ren Jing!"
The death system raised its eyebrow and said, "Not, doing, any, thing?"
Ye Chen went silent for awhile, then he reiterated, "I did get drunk, but nothing happened yesterday!"
"Hearing the way you say it, you seemed to be disappointed though?"
Ye Chen was ashamed with anger and said, "Get out! Discussing with you about serious matter wonât end!"
Actually, Ye Chen would have liked to wear T-shirt, but now, in order to slightly cover up this red mark, he changed into a shirt and buttoned up its collar. It was quite tight for him.
He wore clothes that would make Ren Jing unable to endure again!
Giv**chyâs classic white shirt. The small stars on the neckline were particularly dazzling. They were tied onto that fair-skinned neck, exuding another kind of unique beauty.
It was neat and delicate, carrying a temptation that was difficult to put into words.
Ren Jing couldnât help but have his heart warmed when he thought of the hickey deliberately hidden under Ye Chenâs collar.
Ye Chen became somewhat nervous because of being looked at that way, so he spoke up first, "Letâs go."
"Alright."
Ren Jing would really like to kiss him, but considering that Xiao Liu was here, Ren Jing was well-behaved, not doing anything.
Ye Chen was thin-skinned, so Ren Jing didnât want him to feel uneasy.
The breakfast was pretty good. There was no need to worry about food when you came to country F, especially for those who liked sweet foods. French desserts would be enough to make your mind and body feel delighted.
When he was eating, the death system was still deliberating the mission for Ye Chen and said, "You should think over my suggestion."
Ye Chen didnât bother to mind it.
The death system said again, "Since youâve agreed that you wanna go, you could just take back your words. Itâll definitely make Ren Jing sad."
Ye Chen said, "That would make me a flake."
The death system said again, "Well, would that make you sad?"
Ye Chen tried to put himself in that situation and said, "It would..."
The death system said, "Itâs decided then. If you could be sad, Ren Jing would surely going to grieve till he felt like dying."
Ye Chen was still reluctant to do so.
The death system said again, "How about you do it like this, you donât go, once the mission is completed you go. Sounds good?"
Ye Chen, "......"
The death system said as it stretched out its hand, "Daddy could only help you this far."
Though Ye Chen was still hesitant, he felt slightly affected emotionally.
The mission this time sounded easy; two days become one, the reward was two life points, it seemed to be pretty good.
But on the other hand, if he failed, it meant that the mission failed for two consecutive days, and he was going to lose two life points.
That was also why he was not willing to give up on it......
What about if he give it a shot?
He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he was not aware of the jam on his mouth. Ren Jing got up and wiped it for him.
When they looked at each other, Ye Chen couldnât spit out the words that had been at the tip of his tongue.
The death system tried to stimulate him, "Look at you, just a bit more and youâll succeed, I promise!"
Ye Chen made up his mind, put down his knife and fork and said, "I wonât go to the Latin district."
Ren Jing was clearly dumbfounded, so he obviously did not respond.
Ye Chen said again, "Iâm just bothered by film-making. Itâs not that interesting either, so Iâm not going."
The result of this was rather excessive. After saying so, Ye Chen felt guilty so he took a few sneaky glances at Ren JingââHe was not sure if Ren Jing was aggrieved or not because of this mission, but Ye Chen felt sad on behalf of him.
As a result......
Ren Jing smiled, then said in a doting voice, "Honestly, I didnât want you to go either. Itâs hot and crowded, and I also wouldnât have time to accompany you. It would be better if you donât go."
Ye Chen, "......"
"Well......" said the death system, "Let alone feeling sad, Ren Jingâs current state of mind is: 100% happy."
