Anatomy of emotions

No one else in the room said anything except only Cheng Yichi who smiled helplessly.

The program team sent a message to everyone’s mobile phone –

If the guest has multiple dates, you can choose one or more of them for a date, but if there is only one date, there is no choice, if your date rejects you, you will lose this appointment.

Guests who can choose more than one date can arrange their own date. In the next ten days, please enjoy your date!

All eyes are on Cheng Yichi, because the right to choose is in his hands. He can choose a few or only one, or…?

Cheng Yichi leaned back, raised his eyebrows and smiled: “I choose all in.”

After Cheng Yichi went upstairs, the other people’s minds became active.

Li Yi just felt that the relaxed and good mood sank again, and there was a trace of waves. He thought: Teacher Cheng still doesn’t like anyone in particular.

All in is equivalent to saying no to everyone. 

With Cheng Yichi’s character, if he has a clear object of interest, he will not give other people any chance. On the contrary, if he accepts it, it means rejection. 

They had expected this answer for a long time, but Li Yi felt that Cheng Yichi’s attitude towards him is different, so they have a little more expectation. 

If this expectation is gone, they will not feel too sad. After all, this also shows that Teacher Cheng does not like someone else so he still has a chance.

The audience in front of the TV was excited. Occasionally, one or two doubts about Cheng Yichi’s “flowering” and “fishing” remarks floated past, and were instantly ignored by everyone. 

This is the program group’s rule, and no one is forcing others to give gifts to wife. Since the wife doesn’t have someone he likes, why can’t they?

Is it wife’s fault that these men can’t impress wife?

Of course not!

All the audience were excited: Hurry up! Quickly use your ingenuity to create a perfect date for wife and impress him.

Cheng Yichi leaned on the bed and closed his eyes. He didn’t want to say anything. He is too tired.

Being liked by people is both a beautiful and tiring thing.

But he remembered those gifts, and the corners of his lips still twitched.

——

Cheng Yichi finally chose to divide the appointment into five days.

He had already made an appointment with Gu Zechen in advance last night, to have a date this morning. He tossed and turned around in his bed, not able to sleep. Fear of waking up Bai Ruyu, he simply got up.     

When he got up, Bai Ruyu hadn’t woken up yet. He lightly got out of bed and went to the bathroom outside to wash up. He woke up very early, it was only six o’clock now.     

It’s just that he couldn’t sleep at all.     

In the living room, someone was already reading the newspaper. Cheng Yichi greeted him in surprise: “Morning, Brother Qingsi, It’s so early.”     

Duan Qingsi spread out the newspaper, flipped through the newspaper with his right hand, and rolled the two small walnuts in his left. He raised his eyebrows, his eyes crystal clear: “Morning, Yichi.”     

He wasn’t wearing the pair of gold-rimmed glasses, so when he looked over, he couldn’t hide the affection in his eyes.  

“You couldn’t sleep?” Duan Qingsi asked with a smile. Cheng Yichi sat on the sofa next to him, nodded, and then curiously looked at the newspaper in Duan Qingsi’s hand.     

Well, it was the Commercial Daily. He looked back and said, “I used to wake up this morning when I was filming, and sometimes it was earlier, but after I joined the house to record the show, I rarely woke up this early.”     

Duan Qingsi pointed out, nodding: “I’m used to it. If you don’t sleep well, you can use a sachet and put it next to your pillow. The scent of plants and trees can easily make you fall asleep.”     

“I’ll try it next time.” Cheng Yichi didn’t know what to say, so he shook his legs, playing with his fingers, like a child.     

Duan Qingsi put away the newspaper, got up and went to the kitchen to prepare food. Cheng Yichi followed behind him and asked eagerly, “Is there anything I can help you with?”     

“Then please grind the coffee.”

The two performed their respective duties, and the atmosphere was warm. Although neither of them spoke, they did not feel awkward.

After a long time, Cheng Yichi suddenly asked, “Brother Qingsi, aren’t you curious about my date today?”

Duan Qingsi placed the prepared sandwiches on a plate, then took the Yangchun noodles into a bowl, and fried a poached egg cover. on top, poured the topping: “Don’t be curious, you are the only one I date, and I am there when you are looking for me.”

“As for your affairs with other people, don’t tell me.” Duan Qingsi put the plates one by one on the dining table, turned around, and suddenly approached Cheng Yichi from behind, but only took the pepper.

Cheng Yichi froze in place, did not move, “I will be jealous.”

He said this naturally, Cheng Yichi waited. The temperature behind him dissipated, and he didn’t know what to do.

He sat down at the dining table and said, “Brother Qingsi, you know me too well.”

“Huh?” Duan Qingsi was eating the sandwich and looked up at him.

Cheng Yichi murmured, “Sometimes I think you are very similar to my dad.” He glanced at Duan Qingsi’s reaction, and he said, “You are especially good for me, but I don’t think the two of us will be very happy together. It’s strange”

This is the first time he has clearly expressed his refusal to Duan Qingsi. Duan Qingsi understands him too well, Cheng Yichi often doesn’t know how to react, Duan Qingsi will teach him.

Cheng Yichi couldn’t hold it any longer, he thought: Brother Qing Si is so good. He shouldn’t waste his time on me. There are better people outside.

Duan Qingsi didn’t care, and he had even expected Cheng Yichi to tell him that sooner or later.

He stopped his chopsticks and said indifferently: “I’m sorry, Yichi. I had known for a while. It’s hard for you to accept, but at the same time, this kind of emotion is hard for me to control.”

“I haven’t liked anyone else. This is the first time I’ve used my own way to pursue someone I like. If I did something bad and offended you, I hope you can correct me. I’m so glad that you gave me this opportunity, and I’m also very sorry if I didn’t do it well and made you feel inconvenienced.

“But Yichi,” His handsome eyes stared directly at Cheng Yichi, like the wind, subtly affecting Cheng Yichi. This time, Cheng Yichi could read the loneliness and discomfort from it.

“You can’t take away my right to like you.  I will try to like you quietly, and not bother you.”

He smiled bitterly: “I had liked you, for not ten days, not a month, but for five years.”

“There is no way to control this kind of emotion, Yi Chi.”
