Chapter 54: The Supreme Leader’s Corner Cannot Be Pried
Ye Zhile stumbled out of the hot spring pool, his face flushed and his lips red and swollen. Thinking of the scene just now where he had almost lost control, and how that indescribable thing had swelled, he was so frightened that he ran straight out.
Wearing wooden clogs, Ye Zhile fled in a panic without choosing a path. As a result, when he turned the corner, he saw his Big Brother, Ye Zhijin, pressing Xiao Yuanqing against the wall. The two looked as if they were going to kiss passionately in the very next second. Ye Zhile immediately covered his eyes and struck first to gain the upper hand, “I didn’t see anything!”
“…” Ye Zhijin & Xiao Yuanqing: They hadn’t even done anything.
The two exchanged a glance and separated in the next second. The atmosphere was extremely subtle. Ye Zhile peeked at the two of them and tactfully walked away.
Wrapped in his bathrobe, Ye Zhile walked hurriedly. At the corner, he accidentally bumped into someone. He quickly apologized, “Sorry!”
“Are you f*cking blind… blind…” Han Haocheng was originally full of anger, and being bumped into by someone so sightless made him even more furious. However, when the person in front of him looked up, all his anger died in his throat. The pure and translucent innocence on that face was something he had never seen before. It was like a freesia nourished by the spring breeze and drizzle, making one’s heart flutter with longing. Especially when gazed at by those clear, transparent eyes, it made him feel that getting bumped into a few more times wouldn’t hurt at all.
“Are you alright?” Ye Zhile asked, seeing the man standing there in a daze.
“I-I’m fine!” Han Haocheng snapped back to reality and immediately switched to an eager, smiling face. “Are you alright? Did it hurt when you bumped into me? I’m sorry, I didn’t see you in front of me.”
“I’m fine, sorry about that.” Ye Zhile nodded and bypassed him to leave.
Han Haocheng just stood there with a look of infatuation, watching Ye Zhile walk to the end of the corridor, turn the corner, and disappear.
“What are you looking at?” Lu Xingyan walked out from behind him. Han Haocheng had a look of spring in his eyes as he stared at the place where Ye Zhile had left. “I think I’m in love.”
“Didn’t you just go through a breakup?” Lu Xingyan shot him a sidelong glance.
“You don’t understand.” Han Haocheng withdrew his gaze, the corners of his mouth rising involuntarily. “I think I’ve met my true love. I feel that he and I will definitely love each other until we grow old.”
Lu Xingyan had a face full of disbelief because this guy was fickle and promiscuous. The people around him never lasted more than a week. Love at first sight happening to him was only because of good looks; he would get tired of it before long.
“Don’t disbelieve it, I’ve really fallen in love this time,” Han Haocheng said. “I’ll find someone to investigate later and see which family’s young master he is!”
Lu Xingyan shook his head helplessly and walked away without bothering to answer him.
“Eh!” Han Haocheng caught up. “I’m telling you, I just bumped into a little beauty, the kind that doesn’t exist in our circle! He’s the one who gave me the feeling of holding hands for a lifetime!”
“Oh,” Lu Xingyan said perfunctorily.
Han Haocheng clicked his tongue. “Don’t think about your white moonlight every day. Look at the people around you appropriately. He’s already married, what’s the use of you still pining over him? I tell you to take the initiative, but you feel it’s immoral.”
Lu Xingyan glared at him and didn’t answer.
Ye Zhile returned to his room, took a shower, and lay down on the bed. Afterward, he felt a bit greedy for snacks, so he called for someone to deliver some food up. When the knock came, Ye Zhile thought it was the waiter, but upon opening the door, he saw it was Ji Shuohan.
Ji Shuohan was wearing a bathrobe, the open collar revealing a pale, broad chest. Holding the dining tray in his hands, he said expressionlessly, “Hello, the snacks you ordered have arrived!”
Ye Zhile burst out laughing and took it from his hands. “Thank you, I’ll give you a five-star review later.”
The previously ambiguous and romantic atmosphere was instantly replaced by these two humorous sentences, and Ye Zhile no longer felt awkward. He sat on the sofa to eat, while Ji Shuohan went to the bathroom to wash up.
After finishing his food, Ye Zhile climbed onto the bed and lay down next to Ji Shuohan. He said mysteriously, “I just saw my Big Brother and Brother Yuanqing in the hallway?”
“And then?” Ji Shuohan asked.
Ye Zhile shook his head. “I can’t say the rest.”
Then he asked again, “Does My Lord know how they broke up?”
“I don’t know.” Ji Shuohan only knew that their getting together was baffling, and their separation was equally baffling.
“Oh.” Ye Zhile lay down, putting away his gossiping heart.
The holiday resort was surrounded by mountains on all sides, and it was extremely quiet at night. Ye Zhile originally thought that his encounter with the person he bumped into yesterday was just a passing coincidence, but unexpectedly, when they were leaving the next day, they ran into each other again, and Lu Xingyan was there too.
“Xingyan ge?” Ye Zhile looked in surprise at Lu Xingyan coming out from the other side, as well as the boy behind him, who was also looking at him with a face full of shock.
Lu Xingyan was also stunned. Seeing the Supreme Leader and Vice Minister Ye beside him, and Leng Xingtu looking at him with crossed arms, he snapped out of it. “What a coincidence, you guys came here to play too.”
“Yeah, I didn’t expect you to be here too.” Ye Zhile smiled. At this moment, the boy behind Lu Xingyan waved his hand, smiling cheaply. “Hi! Do you still remember me? I didn’t expect you and A’yan to know each other!”
Ye Zhile smiled. “I remember you.”
“Your classmate?” Ye Zhijin asked him. Ye Zhile nodded. “Lu Xingyan, my friend from high school.”
“Hello, ge,” Lu Xingyan greeted first. Ye Zhijin nodded slightly. “Hello.”
“Let’s go.” Ji Shuohan’s complexion seemed displeased. He cast a glance at Ye Zhile and walked forward.
Ye Zhile waved his hand. “Then you guys take your time and have fun, we’ll leave first.”
“Okay.” Lu Xingyan watched them walk far away. Beside him, Han Haocheng was full of excitement. “I didn’t expect you to know the little beauty! Truly, finding something by chance without searching for it! Too… wait!”
Han Haocheng looked at Lu Xingyan’s expression and realized something. “He couldn’t be your white moonlight, right?! Holy f*ck! Then aren’t we crashing into… No! The little beauty is married!”
Han Haocheng felt his sky collapse, the light vanishing from his eyes. He had finally met someone it was love at first sight with, someone he liked so much, vowing to chase him and be with him for a lifetime! Yet, this person was not only his good brother’s white moonlight! He was f*cking married! And the crucial point was! The little beauty’s husband was the Supreme Leader!
This fucking corner could not be pried! Fck! What dogsh*t luck!
Han Haocheng wore a mournful face, comforting Lu Xingyan in passing. “Heartbroken… give up, child, the Supreme Leader’s corner cannot be pried.”
Lu Xingyan glared at him, turned, and walked away. Han Haocheng chased after him. “Eh, eh, eh! Even if we can’t be lovers who know and love each other, we can still be friends. A’yan ge, introduce me to the little beauty, won’t you~”
Lu Xingyan directly gifted him a single word: “Die!”
“Tch! Stingy! Someday I will definitely get to know him!”
————
As soon as they got into the car, Ji Shuohan wore a cold expression. Ye Zhile sat obediently to the side. Looking at the expression on Ji Shuohan’s face that clearly screamed “I am jealous,” he couldn’t help but smile. He leaned over and pinched Ji Shuohan’s sleeve. “My Lord… Xingyan ge and I are just friends. Friends can’t just not greet each other when they meet, right?”
Ji Shuohan shot him a sidelong glance. Ye Zhile blinked his eyes, attempting to act cute to get past this hurdle.
Seeing Ji Shuohan’s brow relax, not truly angry, Ye Zhile felt relieved and sat back with a cheeky smile.
Translator’s Note: “Prying the corner of the wall” (撬牆角) is a Chinese slang idiom meaning to steal someone else’s romantic partner. Han Haocheng is realizing that trying to steal the Supreme Leader’s wife is an absolutely impossible mission.
