The Villain Just Wants to be a Salted Fish

"I'm sorry, this time I've dragged everyone down with me." Tang Jing apologized to everyone with red eyes.

Yu Yan moved his lips, and after a while, he swallowed the words that reached his throat.

Wan An didn't even know what to say, so he just kept silent.

Jiang Ran said, "It's okay. Even though we only have two votes from the instructors, we still have the audience's votes, so we aren't losing yet. Right, Ye Zexi?"

Ye Zexi nodded, but before he could speak, he heard a familiar voice saying--

"It's rare. I didn't expect Tang Jing to make mistakes."

Everyone looked back, they didn't know when Cui Yi was here, he was having a strange smile on his face.

Jiang Ran frowned, a little unhappy.

Yu Yan helped Tang Jing to speak: "Everyone makes mistakes, and you don't need to be in such a rush to ridicule someone. Besides, the final result of the performance hasn't come out yet. We don't know who is winning and losing just yet, isn't it, Ye Zexi?"

Other people also looked at Ye Zexi, including Tang Jing.

The five-person group has subconsciously appointed Ye Zexi as their leader.

Ye Zexi did not answer Yu Yan's words. He just turned his head and glanced at Cui Yi.

There was a hint of water in his beautiful peach blossom eyes, and he seemed to be a little puzzled, carefully looking at the person in front of him.

Cui Yi was completely uncomfortable with him, but he was worried about Ye Zexi's identity. He could not afford to offend Ye Zexi, so he could only impatiently endure and ask: "What's the matter?"

Ye Zexi curled his lips and smiled, and the doubt disappeared from his eyes. He shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I'm just wondering about your makeup product today, which brand they are from.."

Cui Yi frowned: "What?"

Ye Zexi's slender finger tapped on his eyes, and pointed out: "It covers your panda eye very well. I'm thinking, if the brand knows about it, they are very willing to invite you to be the exclusive spokesperson."

Cui Yi's face suddenly changed.

The bruises left by his fight with Tang Jing a few days ago have not completely disappeared. In the past few days, Cui Yi has always put on heavy makeup for fear of being seen by others.

Jiang Ran couldn't hold back, "pfff" laughed out. Ye Zexi's appearance of telling people off was exactly the same as that day he told him off.

The other people's faces were full of unconcealable snickering, and the corners of Tang Jing's mouth were also twitched up.

"You..." Cui Yi gritted his teeth.

Ye Zexi pretended to be surprised: "What about me?"

"You are really strong, but..."

"I'm very strong, I know, you don't need to emphasize this point anymore," Ye Zexi interrupted Cui Yi with a deeper smile and a firm tone, "and we will win."

Cui Yi still wanted to refute, but looking at Ye Zexi's appearance, it was clear that he wanted to protect Tang Jing. He didn't want to have a bad relationship with Ye Zexi, so he could only swallow this anger.

Cui Yi was filled with anger, but he tried to comfort himself that there is time in the future.

He angrily glared at Tang Jing, and finally left with an ugly face.

Until Cui Yi walked away, Yu Yan hummed, "He got lucky!"

The depression in the group got wiped out, everyone's expressions were much more relaxed, and Tang Jing's mood became more stable.

Looking at Ye Zexi with a small smile in front of him, Tang Jing's mind moved slightly. The man in front of him does not look like the same man that stalked him everyday, isn't it?

Because he had always been disgusted, he only saw all the shortcomings and bad points of Ye Zexi, and deliberately ignored Ye Zexi's excellences.

Tang Jing lowered his eyes.

Jiang Ran didn't know when he sat beside him, poked Tang Jing with his arm, and lowered his voice: "You must have understood how I felt then?"

Tang Jing looked at Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran's eyes were not on him, he followed Jiang Ran's line of sight and Tang Jing saw Ye Zexi who was lying on the sofa.

The pink-haired boy hung his head, his bang hung down to cover half of his face, his pale skin was glowing with the light like an expensive jade, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a nice arc.

Through the gaps of his hair, Tang Jing could vaguely see the eye-catching mole at the corner of the other's eye.

Some people are born with light, just one glance will outshine other people..

Ye Zexi is such an existence.

Tang Jing was taken aback.

Jiang Ran sighed.

He has long accepted this truth, but Tang Jing needs more time.

*

That night, the result of the performance was announced.

Just as Ye Zexi said, Ye Zexi and his group of five successfully advanced.

The ranking for each contestant also got announced, Ye Zexi remained firmly in first place, but Cui Yi got second place, and Tang Jing stepped back one place and became third.

Jiang Ran and Yu Yan were fifth and sixth respectively, and Wan An was a little bit behind in seventh.

After knowing the result, Yu Yan cried out excitedly, with tears and a running nose, he tried to hug Ye Zexi.

Ye Zexi took a step back directly, not concealing his refusal.

The camera happened to capture this scene, and the audience and fans were laughing their hearts out.

Yu Yan hugged empty air, so he could only retreat for a second, and hugged Wan An, who was as excited as him.

Jiang Ran was equally excited, and he knew that he had not followed the wrong person!

Tang Jing couldn't help but look at Ye Zexi next to him.

Ye Zexi noticed his gaze, looked at him sideways, smiled and asked with his mouth: What's wrong?

Tang Jing's heart suddenly filled with an emotion called sourness, and it got stuck at his throat.

His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and Tang Jing knew in his heart that it was Ye Zexi that helped them to achieve such a result.

Although he is unwilling, he can only admit defeat.

Tang Jing pursed his lips and smiled, and said silently: Thank you.

The corners of Ye Zexi's mouth became wider, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

This scene naturally did not go unnoticed by the sharp-eyed netizens.
