That night, Gong Xu asked a bunch of his scoundrel friends out to the bar to get drunk.
"Ah! I'll be a single dog forever, single and lonely. When the nights are dark and quiet, does anyone hear my cries..." Gong Xu hugged the microphone and howled emotionally.
He didn't expect he would be so pathetic that even two men together could abuse him!
"Ay, that's enough. Are the lyrics really like that?" Tang Xing Huo nearly spat out the alcohol in his mouth from Gong Xu's terrific singing. He draped his arm around Gong Xu's shoulder and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Dog Balls Gong, you're actually still single? Is that candied plum or candied sweet really so attractive?"
"Don't you dare insult my Little Candied Plum!" Gong Xu immediately glared at him like a wolf cub protecting its food. "Iron Pillar Tang, do you know what I truly desire in my life?"
Tang Xing Huo raised his brows. "What is it?"
Gong Xu: "What I can't have..."
Black lines covered Tang Xing Huo's head. "You're just despicable! You just want the thrill!"
Gong Xu groaned, "What do you know, huh! What's the point if it's so simple? Your big bro likes the adrenaline!"
Tang Xing Huo: "Hope you die from the adrenaline someday!"
...
After she returned home that evening, Ye Wanwan complained lethargically.
"It's all your fault for wanting me to dress up as a man. I'm on the verge of going crazy!"
Si Ye Han took a casual glance at her. "Aren't you the one who came up with this?"
Ye Wanwan blinked. "Uh..."
It seems like I was, oh...
"But that's because you set those unreasonable rules like 'no attracting the opposite sex' and with my looks, it's almost impossible to do that..." Ye Wanwan whined.
Ay, it's not a solution for me to keep lying, right...
Previously, she came up with this idea so she could leave Jin garden to work and also because she was a part of the Ye family. Under those circumstances, if she went to see Chu Hong Guang, that sly old fox wouldn't believe her so easily. It was so much more convenient for her to disguise as a man.
So externally, using this identity as Ye Bai was quite advantageous for her but internally...
She interacted a lot with Gong Xu, Luo Chen and Han Xian Yu usually, and incidents like today would definitely happen again in the future...
If Han Xian Yu and Luo Chen knew her real identity, it wouldn't be a huge issue since these two people were more reliable and wouldn't run their mouths. They weren't the sorts of guys who would want to pounce on any pretty girl that came their way, eliminating the amount of potential jealousy.
The real troublesome one was Gong Xu...
That night, outside her apartment block, she was still in her male disguise and Gong Xu was already about to make Si Ye Han explode...
Initially, she thought Gong Xu merely had short-lived enthusiasm and wouldn't last long. Who knew he wouldn't give up after so long? If he found out she was Little Candied Plum...
That image... tsk tsk tsk...
Hence, Ye Wanwan concluded Gong Xu was the key target she had to guard against...
The next morning.
Mo Xuan came to Jin garden to do a checkup on Si Ye Han.
Before he left, Ye Wanwan called him to the side to speak to him alone.
"Dr. Mo, how's Ah-Jiu right now?" Ye Wanwan asked.
She could see the improvement in his health but she couldn't really tell his psychological state.
Mo Xuan looked at Ye Wanwan with an expression that was hard to read. He sighed helplessly and said, "Miss Ye, my only job right now is to do a checkup on him once every month and even at this frequency, I'm still being cold-shouldered and chased away within five minutes. Currently, I'm on the verge of losing my job, so what do you think?"
