After Being Reborn, I Became Explosively Popular Across the Entire Internet CHAPTER 115
Chapter 115: YanYan Coaxes Gu Ye
The hot dumplings were served. Yu Qingtong didn’t notice her son specifically picking the ugly-looking dumplings to eat, but An Qingyan did. He silently lowered his head and ate them.
The ugly ones were the ones he made.
“YanYan, eat more. You’re so thin, it makes Aunt’s heart ache.” Yu Qingtong enthusiastically placed a large dumpling into the young man’s bowl. “Eat more.”
“Mm, thank you, Aunt.”
The three of them ate dumplings in a harmonious atmosphere.
Yu Qingtong suddenly remembered something. She smiled at Gu Fei and tentatively asked, “Son, you’ve been single for so long, aren’t you going to find a partner?”
Mothers all over the world worry about their children’s relationships, especially since her son’s personality was so cold, never showing interest in any girl since childhood.
If she didn’t urge him, Gu Fei might remain single for life. She didn’t necessarily want grandchildren, but she wanted her son to have a companion and not be so lonely.
Gu Fei didn’t speak, glancing at An Qingyan beside him. His little partner was looking down, pretending to play with his phone, his long eyelashes concealing the emotions in his eyes.
The man pursed his lips, then looked away, his handsome face still expressionless, replying to Yu Qingtong calmly, “You don’t need to worry about this.”
Yu Qingtong didn’t notice the subtle tension between them.
“I still have to worry. YanYan, don’t you agree?”
Suddenly interrupted, An Qingyan lifted his head, too nervous to look Yu Qingtong in the eye, only hesitantly agreeing, “Mm… yes.”
“YanYan understands me.” Having someone on her side, Yu Qingtong felt more confident. She took out her phone, opened her photo album, and showed it to Gu Fei. “Look, these girls have excellent conditions and are beautiful.”
Gu Fei: “…”
Even the famous Gu Ye had to face the nagging of his parents about marriage. An Qingyan watched the indescribable expression on the man’s face, and couldn’t help but secretly curl his lips into a gleeful smile.
Gu Fei casually glanced at the screen, then at the young man secretly enjoying himself. He coldly said, “Not interested.”
Gu Fei’s standards were high; average-looking people were ordinary to him, very beautiful people were just “okay,” and An Qingyan was a celestial being in his eyes.
The reason he was a celestial being was that no one else compared.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Only An Qingyan bloomed in his barren heart, leaving no room for anyone else.
Yu Qingtong’s mouth twitched, turning to An Qingyan for help. Smiling, she said, “YanYan, didn’t you say those girls were good? Especially the one named Su Qianqian.”
An Qingyan’s smile froze, then turned bitter. He perfectly illustrated digging a pit for himself and happily jumping in.
Under Yu Qingtong’s friendly and inquisitive gaze and Gu Fei’s meaningful look, he forced a smile and stammered, “Yes, Miss Su looks like a gentle and graceful lady. She’s very suitable for Gege.”
“Mm… very well-matched,” he added shakily.
Then, the man’s low voice sounded in his ear, “Is that so? YanYan also hopes I’ll meet Miss Su?”
An Qingyan: “…Yes.”
He almost bit his tongue, not daring to look at the man’s face.
“Since YanYan says so, would you like to meet Miss Su? Her family is highly educated; her grandparents and parents are all university professors. Since childhood, she’s received…”
Gu Fei: “Fine, I’ll go.”
Yu Qingtong: “???”
Gu Fei stood up, not intending to continue the topic, his tone still indifferent. “I have work, I’ll go back to my study.” His ambiguous gaze swept over An Qingyan before he turned and left.
An Qingyan: “…” It’s over, it’s over, it’s over!
Was Gu Fei angry?
He swore, he was absolutely not sincere; he said that because he had no choice!
Yu Qingtong hadn’t reacted yet. He agreed just like that? Just like that? When did her son become so easy to talk to?
“YanYan, thank you so much! Unexpectedly, you’re so persuasive!” Yu Qingtong gave An Qingyan a thumbs-up without hesitation. “If Gu Fei gets a partner, you’ll be the number one hero. Aunt has to thank you.”
An Qingyan: “…You’re welcome.”
Gu Fei got a partner—he offered himself as Gu Fei’s partner.
“I’ll contact Miss Su right away!” Yu Qingtong excitedly took her phone and went out, turning back after a few steps. “YanYan, when your Gege gets married, you’ll be the best man!”
An Qingyan: “…”
Don’t ask. Ask and you’ll find out I want to die.
Being the best man is impossible.
Ugh, so annoying. He slumped onto the sofa like a deflated balloon, his brows drooping, his numb expression as if he had lost hope for life.
Could Gu Fei really meet Miss Su?
An Qingyan immediately jumped up from the sofa, grabbed his phone, opened his browser, and frantically typed: How to coax a boyfriend who’s angry?
He randomly clicked on a search result.
[Wrap your arms around his neck, sit on his lap, wrap your legs around his waist, look him in the eyes, hug him tightly, whisper sweet nothings in his ear, kiss him from his ear to his cheek, then down his throat…]
“…”
The described scene involuntarily appeared in his mind. The young man’s ears turned slightly red. He immediately exited the page. This…this is too embarrassing!
Unreliable, completely unreliable!
After a moment of calm and mental preparation, An Qingyan went to the study door upstairs, pressing his ear against the door to eavesdrop. However, he heard nothing.
Just then, a click. The door opened.
An Qingyan, still in a listening position, stumbled and fell forward, landing directly on the man’s chest. He quietly looked up and met those meaningful eyes.
Four eyes met.
“…”
He quickly steadied himself against the doorframe, and before Gu Fei could speak, he preemptively spoke, sounding particularly righteous, “I’m a little full, and I wanted to come read a book to help with digestion.”
Gu Fei hummed. “Come in.”
The study was large, with a wall-to-wall bookshelf filled with various books, including the world classics he had specifically bought for An Qingyan and… children’s books.
An Qingyan casually picked up a book, sat at the desk beside the bookshelf, and pretended to read. In reality, his gaze was already drifting towards Gu Fei.
The man was sitting at his usual desk, intently staring at the computer screen. From An Qingyan’s angle, he could only see the broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted back.
He mentally prepared what he would say to break the silence.
After a moment, he tentatively spoke, “Gege, are you really going to meet Miss Su?”
“Mm.” Gu Fei didn’t turn around, his strong fingers typing on the keyboard, his voice calm, “Didn’t YanYan hope I would meet her?”
“No.” An Qingyan excitedly stood up, took a couple of steps forward, then hesitated and stepped back.
He lowered his head, idly picking at the desk, muttering softly, “I only said that because I had no choice. I don’t want you to go on a blind date with anyone else.”
Gu Fei: “You said we’d be a good match.”
“…” Was this never going to end?!
Did anyone know that the famous Gu Ye was so petty?!
“You’re not a good match at all.” An Qingyan took another step forward, this time not retreating, directly going to the man’s side and taking his hand. “Gege, we are the best match.”
The young man’s voice softened, a gesture of appeasement.
Coaxing someone is all the same.
The tables had turned. Gu Fei had coaxed him with desserts; now it was his turn to coax Gu Fei. But he didn’t have desserts, so he’d use other methods…
But the man didn’t seem to fall for it. He just swallowed, still maintaining his cold expression, even pushing away the young man’s hand, his lips moving slightly, “YanYan, I have work.”
The meaning was simple: he wanted to get rid of him.
This man was arrogant, much harder to coax than he was.
An Qingyan sighed helplessly. His competitive spirit had been ignited by Gu Fei. He wouldn’t leave until he had coaxed the man. How did Gu Fei coax him before?
After searching his memory, he quickly found the answer.
He hesitantly raised his hand, somewhat clumsily ruffling Gu Fei’s hair. The short hair was a little prickly. Meeting the man’s eyes filled with complex emotions, he softly said, “Feifei, be good, don’t be angry.”
Gu Fei: “…”
Cough… It seems this trick didn’t work on Gu Fei.
An Qingyan chuckled awkwardly, putting down his hand. He needed to adjust his approach. After all, he was twenty-seven, not a child.
But…wasn’t something wrong?
Why could Gu Fei treat him like a child?
He was nineteen!
“Anything else?” Gu Fei didn’t know how rich the young man’s inner thoughts were. He just wanted to see what tricks the child would use to coax him.
Gu Ye wasn’t actually angry; he was just mischievous.
Wrap your arms around his neck, sit on his lap…
An Qingyan tried to recall what he had read online, hesitated for a moment, then clumsily put it into practice.
Before he could act, his ears turned red. Under Gu Fei’s probing gaze, An Qingyan put his arms around the other’s neck and sat on his lap.
Next, mm… wrap your legs around his waist?
An Qingyan kicked off his slippers and obeyed.
“…” The tense expression on Gu Fei’s face finally cracked slightly.
