Chapter 9: Is He Humiliating Me?
The light in the bedroom was on, but Bian Yi didn’t see anyone inside when he walked in.
The bed was the first thing Bian Yi noticed, showing how efficient and fast Butler Hua really was. Not only was the bed replaced, but the bedding was changed as well. However, Bian Yi wasn’t interested in checking whether the bed was bigger or not. After all, changing the bed was just an excuse.
In the end, Bian Yi was quite satisfied with the result.
As he sat on the edge of the bed, he looked at the photo sitting on the nightstand, which had been put into a new frame.
As he stared at the new frame, Bian Yi wasn’t sure what to think.
But what brought him back to his senses was the sudden sound of running water coming from the bathroom.
Only then did Bian Yi notice the lights coming from the bathroom door.
There was frosted glass covering the shower. Bian Yi, who was still sitting on the bed, was able to see the outline of a person inside the shower. That kind of glass was arranged by Bian Yi when they first moved in, and after so many years of living together, there were many stories to tell about that glass in the bathroom.
As Bian Yi stared at the silhouette behind the glass, he thought: ‘Kou Li didn’t change the glass…’
Not long after, the sound of water stopped, and Kou Li came out wearing a bathrobe, as he dried his hair with a towel.
When Kou Li saw the man on the bed, he subconsciously frowned. Since he wasn’t wearing glasses, he half-squinted for a while before he could recognize who it was.
""
Kou Li didn’t say a word, and as he kept drying his hair, he sat on the other side of the bed, pointing his back at Bian Yi.
When Bian Yi looked at him like this, he wanted to mock Kou Li. But in the end, something unknown came to mind, and Bian Yi withdrew his words.
Instead of avoiding Kou Li, Bian Yi stood up and began to undress.
When Kou Li heard the sound of clothes rustling, he looked back at Bian Yi. The frown on his eyebrows deepened.
‘He’s too thin.’
Bian Yi was well aware that Kou Li’s line of sight fell on his body, but he didn’t care.
Bian Yi wasn’t trying to seduce Kou Li. Given Bian Yi’s current thin body, so thin that he looked as if he had nothing but bones, even if Kou Li were to have the appetite for it, Bian Yi would only feel disgust.
There wasn’t really a reason behind what Bian Yi was doing, he was just doing what he wanted.
While taking off his clothes and randomly throwing them on the floor, Bian Yi walked into the bedroom. When Bian Yi arrived at the closet, and pulled it open, he couldn’t find any piece of clothing that belonged to him.
“Where are my clothes? Did you throw them all away? Did Guan Xi wear them?” Bian Yi pressed his hand against the closet’s door and turned back to meet Kou Li’s eyes.
Due to his myopia, Kou Li’s gaze wasn’t focused. As he looked at Bian Yi, Kou Li couldn’t see him clearly, and wasn’t sure which part of Bian Yi’s body was he staring at.
When he heard Bian Yi’s words, Kou Li moved his feet: “No. Your clothes are inside the closet. Far inside.”
""
When he finished talking, he saw Bian Yi walk away. Just when Kou Li had taken half a step forward, he took a step back.
The closet was so large that it was even bigger than their bedroom.
This was mainly because of Bian Yi. Not only was he good-looking and smug, but he was also an actor, so he had a lot of clothes.
So, when Kou Li said that his clothes were far inside the closet, in reality, Kou Li’s clothes only took up a small part of it. After taking a few steps inside, everything inside belonged to Bian Yi.
Bian Yi didn’t look around too much. He randomly picked two sets of bathrobes and pajamas. Even though Kou Li had said that Guan Xi has never worn these clothes, in reality, every piece of clothing here was worn by Guan Xi in his last life.
It was late, and because Bian Yi couldn’t ask Butler Hua to arrange for someone to buy him new clothes in the middle of the night, he had to endure the disgust when getting dressed.
When Bian Yi finally walked back to the room, Kou Li had already put on his glasses. Without showing any particular reaction to his arrival, Kou Li was leaning against the headrest on the bed, dealing with his work on his computer. After Bian Yi finished showering, changed into his pajamas, and laid down on the bed, Kou Li still had no reaction.
After Bian Yi looked at the side of Kou Li’s face, he turned around, preparing to go to sleep.
‘Forget it, I don’t need to be like Guan Xi. Besides, the System only asked me to stay by Kou Li’s side, it never asked me for more. This way, I won’t have to endure the nausea while doing it.’
The bedroom light was on all night, and no one bothered to turn it off.
At first, Bian Yi thought that he’ll have to wait a long time until he could fall asleep. Unexpectedly, not only did he fall asleep quite fast, he also had a dreamless night and slept until dawn.
Although it was something unexpected, this was the best sleep Bian Yi had in years.
As Bian Yi sat up and leaned against the headrest of the bed, he covered his eyes, curved the corners of his mouth and scolded himself: “This is so humiliating.”
For several days in a row, Bian Yi and Kou Li were at peace with each other. But this time, they were really at peace. As long as neither of them started an argument, they were able to maintain the peace surrounding them.
After resting for the past few days, Bian Yi’s health improved a lot.
One day, Nie Fang came to pick up Bian Yi to go to E Island, the place Bian Yi picked to record the reality show.
E Island was a tropical island with plenty of sunlight, an endless sea and beautiful scenery. It was the perfect place to relax.
Before leaving, Bian Yi kissed Xiao-Shu’s cheeks and promised to bring him a gift. As for Kou Li, of course Bian Yi had nothing to say.
Bian Yi soon boarded the plane, bringing a set of bodyguards arranged by Kou Li with him, as well as the assistants chosen by Nie Fang himself two days ago.
These assistants were brought to Bian Yi so that he could see them first. After all, they would work for him. If Bian Yi doesn’t like them, he will not have any use for them.
After boarding the plane, Guan Xi sat behind Bian Yi’s seat. Guan Xi needed to pay attention to Bian Yi’s movements, in order to hand Bian Yi what he needed on time.
Guan Xi was too familiar with the feeling of ‘as long as you raise your hand, someone will help you’. But now, his position has changed. He now had the role of serving someone all the time.
Guan Xi was already trying to hide his emotions, but he still couldn’t help it. Guan Xi could only lower his head and fiddle with his bag, which contained some practical items he had used as ‘Bian Yi’.
Before the plane could depart, another man had arrived. As soon as that man walked in, a young assistant beside Guan Xi gasped in surprise.
""
At that, Guan Xi subconsciously raised his head to look towards the cabin door.
It was Xu Rui.
The Male Star that Guan Xi managed to get his hands on not too long ago.
When that man looked his way with a smile on his face, Guan Xi showed a shy smile as a habit, looking at Xu Rui with affectionate eyes.
However, Guan Xi quickly realized that the newcomer wasn’t actually looking at him, but at Bian Yi, who was sitting in front of him.
All of a sudden, the smile on Guan Xi’s face faded into nothingness as he lowered his head in a panic, fearing that Xu Rui would suspect him.
“Xiao-Yi–” Xu Rui greeted Bian Yi with familiarity, but as soon as Xu Rui said Bian Yi’s name, the person in front of him looked at him with cold eyes.
As Bian Yi stared at Xu Rui, he sneered: “Is Mr. Xu mistaken? I’m the real Bian Yi, not the fake ‘Bian Yi’ that had an affair with you.”
Bian Yi’s words didn’t give Xu Rui any face.
No one dared to make a sound, but everyone was staring at Xu Rui, whose face was flushed with shame.
When Bian Yi got married, people in the Entertainment Circle, as well as his fans, knew about it. But few knew who his partner was. Moreover, during the past year, Bian Yi was never photographed together with his lover. When it was seen that Bian Yi wasn’t wearing his wedding ring anymore, many people thought that he had gotten a divorce. There were even some who believed that he was never married to begin with.
Due to this, when ‘Bian Yi’ had an affair with Xu Rui, and neither of them had openly said anything, people thought: If Bian Yi is divorced, isn’t Xu Rui his official lover?
""
As a result….
Tsk, the impostor was really good at playing.
Xu Rui’s face turned blue and white. Even though he wanted to talk with Bian Yi, there were too many people around them, and there were some words that were too hard to say out loud.
Could Xu Rui even say out loud, that despite already knowing that Bian Yi was married, his treacherous heart hasn’t changed, and that he was still thinking about someone else’s spouse? Could Xu Rui say that he couldn’t tell between real or fake, and that he hooked up with ‘Bian Yi’ because he was in love?
Since Xu Rui couldn’t say it, he had to leave. As he passed by one of Bian Yi’s assistants, Xu Rui inadvertently glanced at him. When he saw the assistant making a face that said ‘an affair was exposed’, Xu Rui became furious.
Guan Xi’s acting skills were very poor, and he wasn’t good at controlling his emotions. By the time Guan Xi realized that his face was completely different, that he shouldn’t show such an expression, he had already seen Xu Rui’s angry and disgusted gaze staring at him.
Guan Xi immediately shrunk his shoulders as his face turned pale.
Guan Xi was so embarrassed, aggrieved and frustrated, that he even began to wonder whether Bian Yi had recognized him already. Had Bian Yi deliberately taken Guan Xi with him to meet Xu Rui? So that Xu Rui would shout at him and say evil words to his face? Was Bian Yi humiliating Guan Xi through Xu Rui?
Guan Xi was thinking wildly for a while, but in the end, he denied his own suspicions.
‘It’s impossible for Bian Yi to recognize me. Otherwise, why didn’t he call the Police as soon as he met me?’
Daaamnnn Bian Yi rlly said “Bitch I’m not the one you had an affair with. Know your place”
You tell hiiimmmm
Guan Xi is still as stupid as ever!
