The Villain Just Wants to be a Salted Fish

 

At the same time, at Ye Zexi's home.

Gao Shu's voice was a little anxious: "Young Master, what is going on? I just contacted Tang Jing's agent, but she didn't know either."

"Now the fans are a little confused, many of them come to the Studio Weibo to ask about this matter, we have to give them an answer as soon as possible."

Before Ye Zexi could explain, the phone rang from Gao Shu's side.

"Young Master, please wait a moment, it's Tang Jing's agent calling." After Gao Shu explained, he answered the phone.

Tang Jing's agent was Wen Tong. To be honest, when she saw Weibo, she was a little confused. She recovered later and called Tang Jing, only to find that Tang Jing's phone had been turned off.

In the afternoon, Tang Jing told Wen Tong that he had failed to confess.

Wen Tong didn't think much about it, so she comforted Tang Jing and sent him home to rest. Even in order to help ease Tang Jing's emotions, she specially rescheduled all of his works until next week.

But Wen Tong didn't expect that Tang Jing would make such a willful act.

Now that the person himself could not be found, Wen Tong could only send people out to look for Tang Jing while contacting Gao Shu first.

At least---public relations must be done first.

Wen Tong had already thought of an explanation, but Ye Zexi had to cooperate with them, that was the reason for her call.

She was going to get on Tang Jing's Weibo later and deleted this Weibo. At that time, she would explain to fans that this was just a truth and dare game with friends.

Then she only needed Ye Zexi to help forward it, just say something along this line, and the fans might just pass it as a joke.

At most, CP fans would use this during their group talk at a later time, as time went on, not many people would remember this and it would not become a major issue.

Ye Zexi was listening when Gao Shu was talking with Wen Tong, he naturally had no opinion.

But what Ye Zexi cared most now was: where did Tang Jing go?

Wen Tong naturally wanted to know too. Her voice was exhausted: "I'm still waiting for news from the search team, but if nothing is out of the ordinary, Tang Tang should be in a bar."

Only when he was drunk would Tang Jing do such a thing.

After a pause, she couldn't hold back and said, "I blamed me for this. I saw something was not right with him in the afternoon, but I didn't accompany him to calm him down. I'm really embarrassed to trouble you."

Ye Zexi said, "It's okay, I just repost it on Weibo. Could you please send me his location when you found Tang Jing?"

Wen Tong agreed.

"Young Master, you want to go there?" Gao Shu was anxious when he heard this, and was the first to disagree.

This matter originally had nothing to do with his young master, Gao Shu thought, now Ye Zexi had better not meet with Tang Jing.

They deleted the Weibo post and explained that it was a game. Fans might believe it, but netizens were not fools. If Ye Zexi and Tang Jing were photographed together today, it would really be quite hard to clear it.

It was difficult to guarantee that public opinion will not cook this up. Although it had no effect on Ye Zexi, it was not good at all.

Ye Zexi said, "I have to go over and take a look. After all, he is doing this because of me."

"Huh?" Gao Shu was stunned. "What do you mean?"

Didn't they just say that Tang Jing was drunk?

Wen Tong sighed lightly and said concisely: "Today, Tang Tang confessed to Ye Zexi but he got rejected."

That was why he went drinking, and did such an impulse act on Weibo.

"Huh?" Gao Shu was completely dumbfounded. "When? Why didn't I know about it? Wait, what? A confession?"

Ye Zexi: "..."

Wen Tong: "..."

So you had been here the whole time, starting to draw up plans with everyone without knowing the real reason for it?

Ye Zexi coughed lightly, broke the short silence, and continued: "I'll have to trouble Sister Wen Tong to send me the address later, Secretary Gao, you don't have to worry about me, I'll just go over to see Tang Jing's situation."

Gao Shu finally understood the specific situation at this time, so he was even more unlikely to let Ye Zexi go alone: ​​"Then I will go with you! Young Master, please wait for me at your home, I will drive over now. We will go there together later."

After all, Tang Jing confessed to Ye Zexi, and got rejected. Then he got himself drunk. If Tang Jing were to see Ye Zexi later, how would he explain to Ye Jianbin if Tang Jing does something unexplainable?

Ye Zexi thought for a while, but didn't reject the proposal, lest Gao Shu worry.

The phone was hung up and the room was quiet again.

Ye Zexi drew a small fish and chewed on it in his mouth. After a long silence, he opened WeChat again, found He Jinyun's number, and sent a message.

"Teacher He."

He Jinyun's message was answered almost in seconds: "What's the matter?"

Ye Zexi bent the corners of his mouth silently: "Are you asleep? Can you do me a favor?"

He Jinyun: "What's it?"

After the message was sent, there was no reply for a long time, but the chat interface kept displaying "The other party is typing..."

He Jinyun squeezed the bridge of his nose, lay down slightly on the chair, and relaxed a little.

One second before Ye Zexi sent a message to He Jinyun, He Jinyun had already opened the chat box with Ye Zexi.

He just struggled for a while, and He Jinyun didn't know how he was going to speak.

Should he ask Ye Zexi what he was doing first?

Or should he just send the screenshots of the hot search and ask Ye Zexi for an explanation?

But why should Ye Zexi explain it to him?

He Jinyun tapped his fingers on the table impatiently.

He Jinyun knew very well that he was panicking.

He even regretted it for a while, shouldn't he provoke Tang Jing at that time?

But it was no use regretting now. The most important thing now was to figure out what happened.

Ye Zexi...what was he thinking?

Just when He Jinyun was pondering over the matter, Ye Zexi's message came over first, which really made He Jinyun let out a sigh of relief.

Ye Zexi's message was sent again: "It may be a bit complicated to explain, but the current situation is that Tang Jing is drunk, and is now in a bar. I want to go over to check up on him, but it's not good to go alone, so I would like to ask if Teacher He has time to accompany me."

 

After the message was sent, Ye Zexi suddenly regretted it.

Why did he think of He Jinyun!

He Jinyun had told him before clearly that he would be busy lately, but he still went to look for him.

Not only did he look for the other man, but he also troubled him because of something that had nothing to do with He Jinyun.

Ye Zexi's brows frowned slightly, it felt like he always goes to He Jinyun when he encounters something trivial recently. It was clear that the recording of the show had ended, why was he still like this?

He was thinking of retrieving the message, his request was really presumptuous.

But before Ye Zexi retrieved the message, He Jinyun's message was sent over, with only a single word: "Okay."

Ye Zexi breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension disappeared.

He asked again: "Then Teacher He is busy now? If you are busy, should you take care of it first? I can do it myself."

He Jinyun saved the file, closed the laptop and replied: "Not busy."

Ye Zexi: "Oh, that's good."

After a second, Ye Zexi's message came again: "Teacher He, don't you want to know what's the matter?"

He Jinyun slowly loosened his frowning eyebrows, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. He knowingly asked, "What's the matter?"

Perhaps he was worried that he couldn't fully explain himself in text, so Ye Zexi simply sent a bunch of voices over.

The young man's voice was hearty and sweet, as if he was talking while eating something: "It's like this...hmm, I don't know how to put it. Anyway, the situation is a bit complicated. Tang Jing might not be in a very good mood today."

"No one can contact him now. Now we have people looking around for him at every bar. Sister Wen Tong wants us to help with relieving the situation, saying that it was just a truth and dare game among friends while drinking, admitting that this is just a game."

"I just wondered, if you are to say that friends are drinking together, you have to have more than one friend, so I just want to..."

The voice message was quite long, and Ye Zexi's message broke off when he said this.

He Jinyun himself filled up the rest of the words in his heart.

"So you want me to go with you, even if we get photographed, it can explain that we are hanging out together."

Ye Zexi: "..."

Ye Zexi, who was currently dealing with the endgame, saw the message because he was drinking a drink while eating dried fish.

Right!

That's what he meant.

But this was really a bit too despicable, because of his relationship, now he had to pull He Jinyun into the water.

Ye Zexi was full of guilt. He took a paper towel and wiped the screen of the phone indiscriminately. Then he sent out a paragraph according to the voice: "Sorry, Teacher He, I seem to have dragged you down again by accident..."

"But, the first person I can think of right now is you. I don't know many people in the circle. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I can only trouble Teacher He."

After He Jinyun quietly listened to the voices of Ye Zexi, he slowly shook his head.

These were not the main points, none of them were the main points.

Ye Zexi said a lot, but he didn't say the words that matter.

He was not afraid of being troubled, as long as Ye Zexi wanted to trouble him, the other could trouble him whenever he wanted.

As for being dragged into the water, He Jinyun didn't care at all.

There was only one thing he cared about.

He Jinyun finally lost his patience and simply typed in and asked: "So what are your thoughts?"

Seeing this message at first glance, Ye Zexi was a little confused: "What are my thoughts?"

"Didn't Tang Jing confess to you?" He Jinyun typed, "What are your thoughts on that?"

Ye Zexi was surprised: "Teacher He, didn't you say you don't know?"

He Jinyun first posted a screenshot of the real-time hot search on Weibo, and then typed it and said: "It's still on the top of the hot search now. How could I not know, I just thought you would explain it to me."

Ye Zexi suddenly felt an inexplicable guilty conscience.

"I...it's not that I'm not trying to explain to you, it's just a little..."

Some are hard to tell.

And more importantly, Ye Zexi now only knew that Tang Jing had no feelings for the other man; however, he still did not know what He Jinyun's thoughts were.

Perhaps this was one of the reasons why Ye Zexi wanted He Jinyun to go to the bar with him.

He also wanted to confirm.

It was just that he should really explain to He Jinyun first.

After taking a slight breath, Ye Zexi re-sent a voice message: "I have clearly rejected Tang Jing today, but I can't just ignore him like this, so I want to check up on him." After a while, Ye Zexi continued, "Teacher He, is this troubling to you?"

After listening to this speech, He Jinyun's eyes softened visibly, and his irritability disappeared completely.1

Ye Zexi rejected the confession, how could he find it bothersome?

He Jinyun raised the corner of his mouth and pressed the voice button: "you can come to me anytime, I don't find it to be troublesome."
