Arc 1
My World Consist Only of You (11)
Gu Jianan returned to his normal state with Ye Chen’s comfort. returned to his normal state.
In the afternoon, the police called Gu Jianan and interrogated him. Ye Chen waited for him outside the police station. After it was finished, Gu Jianan came out and Ye Chen acted as calm as she could, “Let’s go back?”
“Okay.” Gu Jianan’s gaze was on the ground. It was unknown who he was talking to. “It’s okay.”
Ye Chen nodded and walked out beside him. When they were at the entrance of the police station, they saw Yan Liang’s car. Yan Liang personally came for them. He opened the window and waved to Gu Jianan, “Jianan, Xiao Chen[1], come up.”
Gu Jianan glanced at Ye Chen, and Ye Chen decisively took Gu Jianan into the car. Gu Jianan sat in the co-pilot and kept silent. Yan Liang drove the car and glanced at the two of them. He said to Ye Chen, “You are the person that has been taking care of him during this time?”
“Mn? Yes…” Ye Chen felt the awkwardness in her heart. Gu Jianan’s situation was a bit special. In her mind, she fully realized she was an adult and was only taking care of minors. But, in the eyes of others, she was also a minor…
However, Yan Liang was not surprised, and asked straight-forwardly, “How long have you been together? ”
“Eh? Ah?!”
Seeing Ye Chen’s stunned reaction, Yan Liang let out a laugh, “I’m not that old-fashioned. My wife and I met in Middle School. Aren’t you already at the age where you can fall in love?”
“No, no,” Ye Chen peeked at Gu Jianan. She was worried if she rashly answered the question, Gu Jianan’s favorability for her would plunge down. She explained in the safest way, “Gu Jianan and I are good friends. He helped me when I was beaten before. I was grateful to him, and then we became good friends!”
“Good friend?” Yan Liang took a meaningful glance at Gu Jianan, “Then, thank you for your recent hospitality. I’ve asked someone to go through the adoption procedures. After all, Jianan is a boy. It will be a problem if he continues to live with you. I’ll pick him up tonight.”
“Okay…” Ye Chen spoke slowly, feeling a little lost in her heart.
After saying these words, Yan Liang and Ye Chen talked about Gu Jianan’s hobbies. Ye Chen didn’t know how to keep up with Yan Liang, so her responses were perfunctory at best.
Yan Liang sent them home and asked Gu Jianan to pack up. Gu Jianan didn’t say anything and obediently went back to his room, packing his clothes and books.
These things were bought by Ye Chen. Everything on him, not a single thing less, was Ye Chen’s.
Ye Che quietly monitored Gu Jianan from the door. She anxiously expressed, “After going to Yan-jia[2]… Take good care of yourself. If anyone dares to bully you, tell me, don’t bear it alone.”
“Mn.”
“Stop reading when it’s already too late at night. If you don’t do well in the exam, so be it. Don’t mind it too much.”
“Okay.”
“You are still growing up. You should drink more milk and get enough sleep. Don’t stay up late. Eat more fruit…”
While she was in her long-winded talking, Gu Jianan stood up and walked to her front. He raised his hand and put it on her head, carefully observing her.
“You are shorter than me.”
Hearing this, her face turned black. She listened to the other party’s rebuke, “So, don’t stay up late, drink more milk, eat more fruit, don’t order takeout, and call Auntie Ba[3] back to cook for you.”
“Okay…”
“I already made dinner for today. I put it in the refrigerator. You can heat it in the microwave and eat it. I also made fruit tea. If you can’t finish drinking it today, just throw it away. Don’t keep it until tomorrow. Remember to hang the piled clothes in the washing machine. I have made some notes for you, I put it on the table. Remember to read them.”
With that, Gu Jianan rubbed her hair and returned to his room to continue packing.
He closed his suitcase and put a bank card on the bed.
Then, he dragged his suitcase and walked out. Ye Chen tailed behind him. Downstairs, he got into Yan Liang’s car and waved to her.
Ye Chen watched the car go away and stood still for a long time. The system finally couldn’t take it anymore, “Host, why are you like this? Won’t you meet him again when school starts?”
“38, have you ever raised a child?”
“Ah? Of course I have never.”
“Then you don’t deserve to talk about this with me!” Ye Chen covered her chest and made a painful expression, “My child is gone!”
The system, “……” Bah, I’m done with her!
After the exaggeration, Ye Chen returned to her apartment. She asked Auntie Ba to come back and entered Gu Jianan’s room. She lay down on the bed, motionless. The bed was full of his smell; The room was full of his traces. In an instant, reluctance filled Ye Chen’s heart.
She thought for a moment, took out her mobile phone and sent him a message, “Send me a notice when you arrive.”
“Mn.” The other party’s message style was as concise as usual.
After a while, he sent her a message, “I have arrived.”
Ye Chen stared at the message. She was lying on the bed, a little tangled. She asked the system, “Originally, how did Gu Jianan and Ye Min get together?”
“Because Ye Chen always bullied Gu Jianan at that time, Ye Min helped him again and again. Moreover, Ye Min was remarkably sunny and always took the initiative to talk to Gu Jianan.”
“That’s way?”
Ye Chen felt inspired. She hurriedly sent another message to Gu Jianan.
“Gu Jianan, I’m eating. The food you cooked is super delicious! Compared with Auntie’s cooking, this is way more delicious.”
After a while, she hung her clothes and continued to send, “Gu Jianan, I’m hanging my clothes. I’m not sure if it will rain tonight. Where do you think it’s better for me to hang them?”
“Use dryer.” Gu Jianan finally replied.
Ye Chen and he continue to chat.
Whenever she did anything, she would send him a message.
She was doing her homework. She took a picture and sent it to Gu Jianan, “Gu Jianan, I’m doing a math problem. It’s too fucking difficult.”
The other party quickly replied with a picture attached. The answers were written neatly on it.
Ye Chen continued to take pictures of the questions she couldn’t answer, and Gu Jianan kept replying to her questions patiently.
Yan Liang was reading a book beside Gu Jianan who was calculating a question from his mobile phone. He glanced at him, pushed his glasses, and said, “You are answering a problem?
“Mn.”
“Do you need to take so long to answer this kind of question?”
“Mn.”
“Oh. It’s for Ye Chen, right?”
Gu Jianan’s pen paused, Yan Liang smiled and encouraged, “Write well. If you don’t write it clearly, she won’t understand it with her IQ.”
Gu Jianan didn’t refute. He thought Yan Liang made a lot of sense.
Meanwhile on the other side, Ye Chen kept taking photos happily. The system couldn’t endure it anymore and reminded her, “Host, I suggest you don’t take photos anymore. You can’t even do this kind of problem, are you mentally retarded?”
Ye Chen, “……”
Ye Chen felt that she had found a new way to approach the boss. The next day, she went to Yan-jia happily with her homework. She put on a well-behaved air and greeted Yan Liang, “Hello, Yan-shushu[4]. I am looking for Gu Jianan to make up for my lessons.”
Yanliang nodded and said meaningfully, “Make it up. Keep making it up until it’s the proper age of marriage.”
Ye Chen, “……”
Ye Chen went to find Gu Jianan every day. Gu Jianan was always accommodating to her. She sent him a message and he replied; She asked him to make up lessons, he took it seriously. It’s not sure whether he liked her or not. But, the favorability kept increasing every day. It showed that her efforts were effective!
Because she didn’t bully Gu Jianan, there was no reason for Ye Min and Gu Jianan to get close to each other. The system showed that at present, Gu Jianan’s favorability was 50. As long as Gu Jianan’s favorability reached 70, Ye Min would no longer be a threat.
Ye Chen didn’t have a good understanding of the mechanism and principle of the system. The system conveyed it was okay for her not to understand it and she herself didn’t really want to pay much attention to it. She brushed Gu Jianan’s favorability seriously every day. At the same time, she paid attention to the relationship between Zhou Yucheng and Ye Min.
Fortunately, they were having a holiday. Zhou Yucheng and Ye Min could hardly meet. She sent messages to Zhou Yucheng every day to get a general idea of their relationship progress.
This kind of life made Ye Chen absolutely relaxed. Although she occasionally had the illusion that she was a scum woman who stepped on two boats, she usually automatically ignored such negative thinking and never paid attention to it. Her only mind was left to think when would the school start.
Who knew that one morning, she was woken up by the system’s scream.
“Host, this is bad! Ye Min has gone to Yan-jia!! She is about to meet with Gu Jianan and fall for him soon!!”
Ye Chen, ”???”
This kind of plot, wasn’t this too bizarre? Wouldn’t this be their first meeting since the holiday started…?
How come they would fall in love with each other?
“Is your system broken?”
“Do you still have time to talk nonsense with me? Hurry up and save yourself!”
Ye Chen was already preparing herself when the system screamed at her.
“What is she doing in Yan-jia?” Ye Chen questioned, “What will happen if I don’t go?”
“If the system prediction is correct, Ye Min will see Gu Jianan being bullied by the people in Yan-jia when she arrives. Then she will help Gu Jianan, the probability of Gu Jianan liking her after can be as high as 75%!”
“Fuck?!” Ye Chen was having a breakdown, “I worked so hard and his favorability for me is only 50%. Ye Min helps him once and his favorability toward her sky-rocketed??”
“Female Lead usually has her own aura.” 38 smiled. Ye Chen was frightened when he looked at its expression and glanced at the clock, “How long until Ye Min arrives at Yan-jia?”
“In half an hour, she will arrive with Yan Liang.”
“I see.”
Ye Chen nodded.
Not long after, Ye Chen rushed to Yan-jia. She stood outside the yard and began to ring the doorbell frantically. Yan-jia‘s housemaid opened the door for her. She was surprised to see her, “Ye-xiaojie[5]…”
Ye Chen didn’t bother with her and rushed straight inside, “Gu Jianan! Gu Jianan, where are you?!”
The housemaid was stunned by Ye Chen’s behavior. It took a long time to get out of her trance and chase after Ye Chen. By this time, Ye Chen was rushing, She went all the way to Gu Jianan’s room, and began to knock desperately, “Gu Jianan, are you there? Gu Jianan?!”
No one answered her, but Ye Chen vaguely heard something inside. Without saying a word, she kicked the door with all her strength. When the housemaid caught up to her, Ye Chen had kicked the door open. Ye Chen heard a sound from the toilet and checked it directly. She saw Gu Jianan pressed by two teenagers in the bathtub filled with water. She was furious and shouted, “Let him go!”
