Return to the Road of God

"I'd like to ask you something. If someone treats you with aloofness and seems to be afraid of you, but in fact he doesn't really want to hide from you. If you get close to him, he will run away, but when you back away, he will take the initiative to approach... ..." After Guan Hongze and Qin Mengyuan finished their business, they couldn't help asking the question that had troubled him for several days, "What do you think such a person is thinking?"

Qin Mengyuan's low laughter came from the other end of the phone, revealing a trace of teasing: "Is there any need to guess? Which girl wants to arouse your interest?"

Guan Hongze coughed lightly, and said: "... Interested, but that person is not a lady, but a man..."

When he uttered the last two words, Guan Hongze's eyes darkened—strange, he was obviously of the same sex, but he became interested in something he shouldn't have. Was it the other party's talent that attracted him?But just based on a sketch, the convincing power of "outstanding talent" is really low.

what is that?Is it the mystery in him that makes him elusive?

Qin Mengyuan smiled and said: "It's not sex, it's wealth, or, he wants to use your status as a young official to get in the position? I haven't forgotten how many people use tricks to get close to you, from childhood to adulthood. "

Guan Hongze said: "I mentioned the funding to him, but he didn't seem to take it to heart."

Qin Mengyuan asked: "Could it be playing hard to get?"

Guan Hongze: "The purpose is...?"

Qin Mengyuan: "I can't guess this. Since you care so much, why don't you wait for him to get closer? If you ask for something, you will do something. Then you will know."

"Yeah..." But if he really wanted something else, were those fearful and disgusting reactions just pretending?Guan Hongze frowned, thinking it was impossible, but it was true that the other party had attracted his attention.

Gently rubbing the side shell of the phone with his thumb, Guan Hongze thought deeply——Ye Yufan, what exactly do you want from me?

On the weekend, Ye Yufan found Guan Hongze's address according to the content of the text message.

Before entering the door, Ke Jing reminded Ye Yufan: "I guess Tang Zhen is also here. If you are not interested in her, why not tell her clearly today, so that if someone wants to trouble you in the future, it will also hinder Guan Hongze's name. Dare to move you."

Ye Yufan nodded and rang the doorbell.

The nanny opened the door, and Ye Yufan saw several familiar faces inside, including He Yuexi and Guo Zhekai.From the moment Ye Yufan came in, those two people stared at him with wide eyes, afraid that they would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Ye Yufan greeted them, saw Tang Zhen's figure on the sofa, and looked away uncomfortably.

The room was well heated, and he took off his coat and handed it to the smiling nanny beside him.

Many people will imagine how the real rich kids live their lives.

People envy the nobles in movies and literature, yearn for their lives, and even imitate them, and some people catch wind and shadows from the upstarts around them, thinking that the life of the rich must be the same.

People with money and status, do they drink purer milk than ours?Are the fruits they eat grown in their own farms, are the plates they use silver, and will they set diamonds on the chopsticks... Imagination, derived from life, is always inevitably more exaggerated than reality .

Ke Jing lamented how much Guan Hongze, who was able to rent a garden villa in the center of Xili City, enjoyed life. The location with every inch of land, convenient transportation, and a quiet life amidst the hustle and bustle... But everything in the villa , but not as magnificent as Ye Yufan imagined.

Underfoot is a simple knitted carpet, and there are a few simple decorative paintings on the wall. The only thing that catches the eye is probably the floor-to-ceiling windows specially installed in the old-fashioned villa. Be in the woods.

I don't know what kind of plants are planted in the garden outside. In late winter, when everything is still waiting to be revived, it blooms so lushly. The sun shines in through the green leaves, and together with the warm light from the European-style chandelier, it refracts to every corner of the room. One place, rendering a layer of warm and natural atmosphere.

There are also several fresh flowers in the living room. The fragrance of lilies permeates the air, mixed with the aroma of food from the kitchen, making people feel relaxed and hungry at the same time.

The female nanny walked up to Guan Hongze and asked softly, "Master, everything is ready."

"Well, let's have dinner in 10 minutes." Guan Hongze replied, then turned his head to greet Ye Yufan and Ke Jing to sit down and drink a cup of hot tea, and then briefly introduced them to the friends present.

The young people seem to be very friendly, without strict etiquette constraints, but without losing self-cultivation and demeanor.

Someone knew Ke Jing before, and also knew about the changes in his family. They hadn't seen each other for several years, so it was inevitable to exchange pleasantries.

Ye Yufan sat down next to He Yuexi, smiled lightly and said, "Long time no see, how is your English learning?"

He Yuexi was flattered by this greeting, and couldn't even speak smoothly, "Very, very good..." Under Guan Hongze's request, He Yuexi and Guo Zhekai had to focus on language In fact, several months of assault and training finally had some effect, but Ye Yufan's fluent English left a deep impression on He Yuexi, and now he dare not exaggerate.

"I've been busy with part-time work during this period, so I don't have much chance to see you..." Ye Yufan rubbed his nose and explained, as if he wasn't the one who deliberately avoided them before. In fact, he was able to be so calm now because he was ready to face the "past" "Get ready.

"Where is there!" Ye Yufan's attitude actually made He Yuexi a little embarrassed, thinking about the wild thoughts of the past few months, he couldn't help but blush, and Guo Zhekai beside him even cast a sad look at his friend, It must be complaining about the mental torture I have suffered during this period of time.

After enjoying a sumptuous lunch, delicious coffee and dessert, Ke Jing slumped down on the sofa to take a nap, but Ye Yufan beside him couldn't relax at all.

Someone was thinking about how to have a showdown with Tang Zhen, and at the same time planning how to approach Guan Hongze calmly, using the other party's "body" to recall the past.

The latter sounds a bit weird, but it is the main purpose of Ye Yufan's trip. How can he let go of the opportunity he can seize?

Tang Zhen was sitting with another young man whom Ye Yufan didn't know at this time, but her gaze flicked to Ye Yufan's direction from time to time, with a hint of affection that seemed to be absent.

Ye Yufan got up and walked over, and asked politely, "Miss Tang, can I take a step to talk?"

Tang Zhen's eyes lit up, and he stood up with a smile. The face of the young man who was accompanying her was instantly clouded.

It's not that Ye Yufan didn't see it, he reckoned that this person is also the prince of a rich family in China, and he didn't dare to offend, so he said don't worry, I'll return her to you soon.

Ye Yufan took Tang Zhen to another empty corner of the living room to talk.

"Miss Tang, I'm taking the liberty. What I'm going to say next may be a little unreasonable, but I still ask for your understanding in advance." Ye Yufan spoke generously, but God knows how many times he had drafted these words in his stomach.

Tang Zhen's expression changed a little, but he still smiled and said, "Please tell me."

Ye Yufan: "I know, you may be interested in me in that aspect..."

"Sorry to interrupt," Tang Zhen interrupted Ye Yufan, and asked with a smile, "Which area of ​​interest are you referring to?"

"Didn't you want to..." Ye Yufan was stunned. The words "want to chase me" couldn't be uttered. After all, Tang Zhen never personally said that she liked him and that she wanted to chase him.

The belly script was in a mess, so I had to clear my throat and act accordingly: "I hope I'm overthinking, because I encountered some troubles not long ago, which are related to Miss Tang."

"Oh?" Tang Zhen looked surprised.

"Yes, maybe someone mistakenly thought you liked me, went to the place where I worked to find me, and did some rude things."

"I don't know..." Tang Zhen frowned lightly.

"It's very common for boys to fight, but if someone comes to trouble me in your name, I will feel very troubled. Because, first of all, I have no intention of you..." Ye Yufan ignored Tang Zhen's expression , and finished in one breath, "Secondly, even if Miss Tang has feelings for me, I'm afraid it's not suitable."

Tang Zhen skipped the first question and asked directly: "Why is it inappropriate?"

"Our lives are very different," Ye Yufan couldn't say, because he had heard some rumors about Tang Zhen, of course, this was also one of the reasons, "Besides, I already have someone I like, so I don't have any extra thoughts on you body, if you insist on doing this, I’m afraid you will be sad because of it.”

As for the person he likes, Ye Yufan thought about Li Shihan, after all, she was his "first love", but he also hesitated, and just as he was hesitating, Jiang Bing's figure suddenly jumped into his mind, occupying all the space - full of thoughts It's the other party's naughty smiling face, recognizable voice, brainless domineering... and the unexpected physiological reaction when we were fighting with him a year ago.

But no matter what, this "person he likes" was just fabricated by Ye Yufan out of thin air to make Tang Zhen retreat. He thought that any normal girl would not be willing to be a third party.

When I looked at Tang Zhen again, the other party really stood there with an embarrassed face, not knowing how to react, probably very few boys would be so straightforward to flirt with her face, not to mention that she had boasted in front of so many people Said to chase after Ye Yufan.

Shouldn't this handsome boy be the one he could capture with just a gentle smile?

Tang Zhen remembered what his father said, if a person's life lacks any of these three things, material, spiritual or love, it will make his personality incomplete and give rise to strong self-esteem or inferiority complex. weakness.

As long as you find their weakness, it is easy to capture their hearts.

Poor scholars all yearn to be favored by the rich family's daughter, so that they can make a fortune from then on—this kind of obscene novels have existed since ancient times, and Tang Zhen thought that he was the same for Ye Yufan.

But why was he able to reject him with neither humility nor arrogance? The aura emanating from his body made him not even have the ability to fight back...

Playing hard to get?

Once again, Ye Yufan, who was misunderstood as "playing hard to get", would probably be speechless to black lines when he learned about it, but now he feels that he has got rid of a big trouble and is relaxed.

Ke Jing rested his chin, and gave Ye Yufan a half-smile, and Ye Yufan made an OK gesture to him, indicating that everything was going well.He didn't see a trace of stubbornness and unwillingness flashing in Tang Zhen's eyes when he returned to Fang Yi's side.

As for Guan Hongze, who was leaning against the spiral staircase, holding a coffee cup, he squinted his eyes and witnessed the whole process.

Nervous Guo Zhekai went to discuss the "spring outing" with Ye Yufan. He Yuexi's financial restrictions on him made him have enough, so he wanted to ask how Ye Yufan planned to arrange accommodation.

Although they are not very rich, Ye Yufan and Ke Jing seem to live a much better life than him!

Indeed, Ye Yufan hadn't considered the accommodation yet, so he asked Ke Jing, "Shall we live together?"

Ke Jing said lightly: "Whatever."

Ye Yufan thought for a while, and frowned: "Do you still have money to participate in the yeartrip? Give me a definite answer. I don't want to pay for the room alone after booking the room."

Ke Jing waved her hand embarrassingly: "I won't owe you anything."

Ye Yufan looked skeptical, but he had no other choice. He turned to Guo Zhekai and said, "I share a room with Ke Jing, how about you?"

Guo Zhekai complained tearfully: "Xiaoyue and I did the same, but he actually wanted to book a single bed in a youth hostel in order to save money. It is said that the bed is only 1.3 meters wide...we sleep on the same bed!"

Ye Yufan: "..."

Ke Jing asked him very interestedly: "How much is it?"

Guo Zhekai said: "Eighteen bros for one night."

Ye Yufan counted, 180 RMB per bed, and then stared at him: "It's so expensive!"

He Yuexi leaned over and said, "It's pretty cheap! A 1.5-meter bed costs 25 bro!" Then he glared at Guo Zhekai, "We're not fat, so a 1.3-meter bed is definitely enough!"

Ke Jing asked Ye Yufan: "Why don't we both order the 1.3-meter one?"

Ye Yufan touched his chin: "It can be considered."

Guo Zhekai: "..." Why do these two people have such a strong sense of disobedience when they say these words?

A few people not far away heard their conversation, and the corners of their mouths twitched. Bai Qing looked at Guan Hongze helplessly, as if saying in her eyes: "Young Master Guan, you should help them!"
