【104】 Have You Seen Enough?
Orange ignored Fourteen’s howling on the other end, letting him panic for a while first.
Who told him to assume he was going to be a villain?
He hadn’t lied. Fourteen was his good friend; he had no reason to deceive him.
Moreover, he genuinely wished the Captain and Wen Ran well.
Although he didn’t know the situation before and thought the Captain was single, which was why he held such great hostility toward Wen Ran, he admitted he had been jealous. He, An Chenxia, wasn’t a saint; he had flaws and emotions too. But fortunately, he later controlled his growing negative emotions. Knowing his mistakes, he corrected them.
Now they were good teammates, good friends.
Now fighting side by side for the same goal, they would continue to be good friends in the future.
When Orange came back from his shower, Fourteen had already sent dozens of messages.
[Fourteen: Kiss kiss baby Chen Chen, you can’t do this. I trusted you, which is why I stayed in the same room and slept in the same bed as you. You can’t turn your elbow outward just because Ling Han is from the same batch as you. We are closer!]
[Orange: Lu Xingye just made an offer. 50. Transfer me 100 to redeem yourself!]
[Fourteen: ??? Pit your brother like this?]
[Orange: Oh~ Seems like you don’t want the chance I gave you. Then I’m going to find Ling Han.]
[Fourteen: Wait a minute! Confirm first, if I pay 100, you can’t send it.]
[Orange: Is that how you talk to your CEO An? The initiative is in my hands now. I have to let both sides bid; highest price wins.]
[Fourteen: An Chenxia, you shameless thing!]
Fourteen’s face, however, was already completely red. With a photo auction like this, he didn’t know how much money he’d have to spend to win it.
After all, that damned Ling Han was so rich.
He was the most popular Clash Lane player in the Alliance, getting endorsements until his hands went soft. Plus, he was already a rich young master; any random T-shirt of his cost over ten thousand. It wouldn’t be too embarrassing if he couldn’t outbid him, right?
But then, wouldn’t he be seen all over by him…
Fourteen couldn’t help but cough, flushing red from head to toe.
“Brother Fourteen, what’s wrong with you?” Little Yellow walked over with a raspy voice, looking at him curiously. “Why is your face so red, and you’re coughing?”
Little Yellow had caught a cold recently, accompanied by a sore throat. He was currently holding a cup with chrysanthemum tea soaking inside.
“I didn’t infect you, did I?” Little Yellow was a bit worried. “I still have chrysanthemum tea there; do you want to brew a cup?”
Looking at Little Yellow, who was as pure as a blank sheet of paper, Fourteen suddenly felt his thoughts just now were a bit sinful.
“No, my throat was just a bit itchy.” Fourteen pretended to pull at his collar. “It’s quite hot in here.”
“Is it?” Little Yellow scratched his head but didn’t say anything more.
His throat was so uncomfortable right now; he would speak as little as possible.
Wuwu, he was almost suffocating into a mute!
Fourteen kept waiting for Orange’s message. Suddenly, the chat box moved.
He immediately typed inside: [I bid 500, make Lu Xingye get lost.]
[Orange: 100. The other side gave up the auction.]
[Fourteen: ???]
What?! He rubbed his eyes, making sure he saw correctly. Lu Xingye actually gave up?
He didn’t even have 200?
Orange threw over a screenshot. It was the chat history between him and Ling Han.
[Orange: Selling Luo Xihang’s nude photo at a low price. Name your price, instant delivery for in-stock item.]
[Ling Han: 50.]
[Orange: Luo Xihang says he bids one hundred. Highest price wins~]
[Ling Han: Then I don’t want it.]
[Ling Han: What’s so good to look at about his body? 50 is for the sake of our years of friendship; any more would be a waste of my money.]
“Damn!”
Fourteen broke down on the spot. What did he mean by “his body”? Is your own body so good?
Thinking you’re awesome just because you have two more abs than others!
And saying I’m only worth 50 yuan, I pui!
Fourteen went directly back to his room, locked the door, and then made a video call to Ling Han.
The other side didn’t pick up. Fourteen called a third time before the other party answered.
Ling Han’s face was right up against the camera, yet he looked handsome even at this angle. His hair was a bit wet, and he brushed it back casually. Fourteen noticed he was wearing black half-finger gloves wrapping around his wrists, looking particularly alpha. The other party spoke, “Why call me on video so late?”
“Where did you go?” Seeing him like this, Fourteen couldn’t help but want to ask more. “Your hair is all wet.”
“Just came back from the gym,” Ling Han said. “Planning to take a shower in a bit.”
Ling Han smiled at him. “Why, did you miss me?”
“Who missed you!” Seeing him posturing and showing off like this, Fourteen wanted to hammer him. “An Chenxia sold you out long ago. Come, explain to me, what do you mean I’m only worth 50??”
Ling Han gave an “Oh.” “You also think it’s too much?”
Fourteen couldn’t help cursing, “Damn!”
“Although I don’t have as many abs as you, I clearly have a tiny bit of pectoral muscle!”
“Oh?”
Ling Han looked unbelieving and even frowned.
“Hey hey, you don’t believe me?”
Fourteen angrily set up his phone on the stand and turned the camera.
Ling Han heard rustling sounds, and then saw the camera switch. Fourteen’s beautiful body, unique to a youth, was displayed before his eyes.
Exquisite collarbones, a thin layer of well-proportioned muscle white as jade.
The slender waistline disappeared into the waistband of his team uniform pants.
Wearing the loose pants of the team uniform didn’t make him look fat at all.
Fourteen was originally facing the camera somewhat flamboyantly, but later he became increasingly uncomfortable under Ling Han’s stare.
Clearly separated by the internet, yet there was always the illusion of being touched all over by him.
Red-faced, he asked, “Have… have you seen enough?”
Ling Han’s eye color darkened. “Seems it’s passable.”
“Hmph!” Fourteen hurriedly grabbed his jacket and put it on. “Now giving you a chance to re-bid!”
Ling Han hooked his lips. “You want me to buy your nude photo that much?”
“Damn!” Fourteen’s face turned completely red. “You are truly shameless!”

Li Hao didn’t dare delay for a moment. He bought the earliest ticket and rushed to the entrance of the WK Club in B City.
He lifted his foot to enter but was stopped by the security guard.
“Uncle, I’m here to find someone. I beg you, just let me in!”
The security guard was very serious and responsible. “It’s not that I won’t let you in; this is the rule. Ask whoever you’re looking for to come out and pick you up.”
Li Hao was a bit troubled. “But, I can’t contact him.”
Hearing this sentence, the security guard felt goosebumps rise all over his body. The couple last time said the same thing!
He wasn’t completely offline; being in the club, he naturally knew about Wen Ran’s parents threatening him and spreading rumors online.
The security guard swallowed. “You aren’t here to find Dawn, are you?”
Li Hao was both surprised and delighted. “How did you know?”
The security guard thought, I really guessed it. Dawn, this child, was truly pitiful. Wandering outside at such a young age, no one was willing to help him. Later, when he played professionally and made money, quite a few “relatives” came over.
With the precedent of Li Fenlan, he instinctively assumed the boy in front of him was some “cousin” of Wen Ran’s.
“Sorry, I really can’t let you in. If you don’t have his contact information, why come to find him?”
Li Hao: “I had some conflict with him…”
“Stop!” The security guard was now completely sure. “Please go back. I’m just a doorkeeper; even if I listen to your reasons, it’s useless.”
Li Hao burned with anxiety. But he had already come; how could he go back without seeing Wen Ran?
Moreover, if his matter really blew up, it would have a huge impact on his graduation and future!
If it reached his parents’ ears, what would they do?
Although he was straight, if word got out that he had dated Wen Ran, wouldn’t that bring shame to the old Li family? His parents loved saving face so much and always regarded him as their pride; they would definitely be angered to death by him!
And no woman would be willing to be with him!
He absolutely couldn’t fail; he had to see Wen Ran!
Li Hao rubbed his hands and saw the convenience store across the street. He went to buy paper and a pen, wrote a full page, folded it, and handed it to the security guard.
“Uncle, I won’t go in. Could I trouble you to hand this to Dawn for me?” Li Hao was best at disguising himself, putting on a timid and honest appearance. “I beg you. This pack of cigarettes is for you!”
He had bought a box of relatively better cigarettes and stuffed them into the security guard’s hand.
The security guard declined a couple of times but then accepted it.
Could it be that he had wrongly blamed him?
But after all, this was Dawn’s private matter, and it wasn’t his place to ask. Sending a note wasn’t tiring anyway.
“Alright then, I’ll help you deliver it once.”
Li Hao bowed hurriedly. “Thank you!”
“But they have training. I can only promise to help you deliver it, but I can’t guarantee the time.”
Li Hao thanked him repeatedly. As long as it could be delivered, there was a glimmer of hope.
Inside the base, Wen Ran was playing a game. Without lifting his head after answering the phone, he said to Orange:
“An Chenxia, my takeout is here. Help me get the takeout!”
Orange: “?”
“Is there a possibility that I just ordered mine?”
How was this person so handy at ordering him around?
“I’m still playing the game,” Wen Ran said. “Isn’t it right for a son to show filial piety to his Daddy?”
“You beg for help yet act so self-righteous?” Orange walked over, just in time to see Wen Ran’s game display ‘Victory.’ He reached out and tapped his head. “Go yourself.”
“Then you accompany me.” Wen Ran said, “Five stars.”
“Deal.”
Wen Ran: “……”
If you hesitated for even a second.
Orange was soft-hearted in the end and accompanied Wen Ran outside to pick up the takeout. Just as they picked it up, the security guard shouted out.
“Dawn, here is something for you from someone.”
Wen Ran was a bit puzzled. “For me?”
“A young lad about your age,” the security guard said. “He said it must be handed to you personally. It’s a very important matter.”
