Vicious cannon fodder, he doesn't want heartthrobs

Yan Mingxu didn't reply for a while, so Huo Yunzhen knocked several question marks over.

[Eight o'clock. 】

After all the news had been sent out, Yan Mingxu realized that he missed a word.

He made an appointment with Gaoyin Qiuye Baihua at 08:30.

Do you want to add that word?

Yan Mingxu took a long time to type out the three words "08:30", but when he was about to send it out, he hesitated, hesitating again and again, and then deleted the three words.

After deleting it, he seemed to feel bad again, so he typed these three words again.

Just like that, I deleted and typed, typed and deleted, ten minutes passed, and Yan Mingxu's message hadn't been sent yet.

Huo Yunzhen waited and waited, and before Yan Mingxu told him the location, he saw "the other party is typing" in the dialog box, and he was puzzled.

What address can’t be written in more than ten minutes?

【? 】

【Place. 】

Yan Mingxu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, he sent the detailed location to Huo Yunzhen, a total of no more than [-] words.

Huo Yunzhen:?

So why did it take so long to post these words?

No reply yet.

Yan Mingxu looked at the dialogue between himself and Huo Yunzhen, and gradually his heart beat faster.

He belatedly realized that at the moment when eight o'clock came, he had been in the same room with Huo Yunzhen for half an hour.

...there are and only the two of them.

Oops--

Yan Mingxu pinched his palm.

What should I do if I start to get nervous early? !

At 55:[-], Yan Mingxu couldn't sit still anymore, he started circling in the box, looking at Guangnao from time to time.

The privacy in the box is very good, and there is no sound from the outside at all, but Yan Mingxu always feels footsteps, and always feels that Huo Yunzhen is coming, and then he will freeze on the spot.

It took him a while to realize that the footsteps were his own.

At 58:[-], as we all know, Huo Yunzhen is a very time-conscious person, he is never late, and of course, he will not be early either.

In other words, there are at most 2 minutes before he can definitely see Huo Yunzhen.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

Yan Mingxu felt his heart was about to jump out.

The heartbeat was really loud.

Yan Mingxu stretched out his hands to cover his ears, took a deep breath, and finally exhaled slowly, trying to calm himself down.

...Don't be so nervous, right?It's not like I haven't been alone before.

... Yan Mingxu, can you stop being so worthless?

Yan Mingxu shouted a few words in his mind, and then found that the heartbeat was even louder.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

Very powerful and very rhythmic.

etc--

Yan Mingxu raised his head abruptly.

——Is this really the sound of a heartbeat?

Yan Mingxu almost jumped up.

This is clearly the door!bell!Voice!

Yan Mingxu rushed towards the door at an extremely fast speed. At this moment, he suddenly understood what burning butt/ass is.

The door of the box was opened, and Yan Mingxu saw Huo Yunzhen's face all at once, and he couldn't help but clenched the doorknob tightly.

"Huo Yunzhen?"

Yan Mingxu's voice was a little anxious, "Come in."

That's what he said, but the whole person blocked the door and didn't move.

Huo Yunzhen looked up at him with a meaningful look.

Yan Mingxu looked left and right, and then he realized that he took two steps to one side and let Huo Yunzhen in.

"That," Yan Mingxu's voice was a little unnatural, "... sister Qiu and the others are not over yet."

"Probably another half an hour."

Yan Mingxu closed the door, under the light, there was a layer of light refracted/reflected/on the doorknob.

... The material of this doorknob is a bit interesting, it is even reflective, it doesn't seem to be there before, did you not notice?

Yan Mingxu didn't even know what he was thinking.

"Oh." Huo Yunzhen responded, seeing that Yan Mingxu was still staring at the door, he was suddenly relieved.

How much did Yan Mingxu not want to see him?

very nice.

At least in so many changes, Yan Mingxu is still sticking to his heart.

"I am relieved."

Huo Yunzhen said to the system.

System: "Huh?"

"Although the protagonist and the others don't know why they took the wrong path, Yan Mingxu doesn't!"

"Look at Yan Mingxu's ugly face, God knows how much he doesn't want to see me!"

"Yan Mingxu, good brother, everything, our plot is still salvageable, and there are still people following the plot!"

"Be confident, Tong!"

Really……?

The system took a few glances at Yan Mingxu, and slowly picked out a few question marks.

But it is just a system, it is not so sensitive to human emotions, but the host is different, the host is a human being, human beings understand emotions better than it alone, right?

and so--

"That's right!"

"you're right!"

"Perhaps we can work more from Yan Mingxu," the system suggested. "After all, he is the protagonist's good brother, and he must be towards the protagonist. As long as he says you are not good in front of the protagonist more often, it doesn't matter once or twice. The more times It will definitely be useful."

"How many vows and vows are ruined by the gossip of the people around you?"

"Okay," Huo Yunzhen also felt that the system made sense, "Then what should I do?"

"Mocking him and making him hate you? Uh...it seems like you two have always been like this?" The system also didn't know what to do, "How about seducing him?"

"!!!" Huo Yunzhen's mind was shocked, "No, not too good?"

"What's wrong?" The system took it for granted, "He hates you so much, he didn't change his mind about you after being rescued by you before, and he won't change his mind about you in this lifetime, you definitely can't seduce him of."

"Besides, he and the protagonist are good brothers. If you go to seduce him, he will definitely think that you are not worthy of the protagonist, and will try to remind the protagonist that the fact that you are in two boats is exposed, and the protagonist will also hate you. Is everything back on track?"

It sounds like it makes a lot of sense.

But...but...

Huo Yunzhen actually couldn't tell why, but he was a little reluctant.

"Then... what about the character design?"

This time, the system is also silent.

If it is a matter of life and death, you can abandon the character design for the sake of the plot.

But now, has it really reached that point?

"let me think again."

The system ran.

Huo Yunzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

There was silence in the box.

Yan Mingxu knew what he should say to ease the atmosphere, he finally spent half an hour alone with Huo Yunzhen, not for silence.

But...but...this mouth/paw just can't open, what should I do!

"You," Yan Mingxu got stuck after saying one word. He stretched out his hand and pinched himself hard, telling himself to show up. There is only less than half an hour in total. How much more do you want to waste?

With the relationship between you and Huo Yunzhen, if you don't seize the opportunity this time, do you think you have another chance?

Huo Yunzhen will not meet you alone!

This cognition is like a bolt of lightning, splitting into Yan Mingxu's mind, as if all those awkward, shy, and unwilling emotions are blown away.

At this moment, he clearly realized that this might be his only chance.

If it wasn't through Ye Baihua's name, how could he invite Huo Yunzhen?If he didn't miss that word on purpose, how could he have the chance to be alone with Huo Yunzhen?

Admit it, Yan Mingxu, no one would be so stupid as to write 08:30 as eight o'clock, you did it on purpose.

His mood became heavy little by little, but Yan Mingxu found that his brain had returned.

His eyes fell on the doorknob again, and only then did he realize that it was not made of any special material at all, it was just the sweat from his palm that wet the doorknob.

"Huo Yunzhen," Yan Mingxu heard himself say calmly, "How about we order first?"

"Perhaps," Yan Mingxu paused, "You should know what Brother Bai likes to eat?"

Huo Yunzhen raised his eyebrows and said as it should: "Of course."

The mood seems to be a little heavier.

Yan Mingxu handed the order machine to Huo Yunzhen, and then naturally sat next to Huo Yunzhen. For a moment, he felt that his hair was going to explode.

What if Huo Yunzhen asked him why he was sitting here?

Yan Mingxu's brain was running fast, and he thought of many reasons, all of which were very suitable, but unfortunately, Huo Yunzhen didn't ask, he just swiped quietly on the order machine a few times, Yan Mingxu glanced and found that those dishes It is indeed what Ye Baihua likes to eat.

It was still so quiet in the box.

Huo Yunzhen looked at the ordering machine, and Yan Mingxu looked at him.

A few minutes later, Huo Yunzhen raised his head, "You are very strange, Yan Mingxu."

Yan Mingxu's heart skipped a beat, he was surprised and had some subtle expectations, did Huo Yunzhen discover something?

But Yan Mingxu's expectations soon came to nothing.

Huo Yunzhen obviously didn't have the habit of asking questions, he just calmly threw the order machine to Yan Mingxu, "Here you are."

Yan Mingxu took it, his movements were a little stiff, Huo Yunzhen didn't want to say anything more, after all, the recent deviation of the plot made him pay special attention, but Yan Mingxu looked really pitiful at this time.

Anyway, Yan Mingxu's position is always as firm as ever, so it shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Maybe worse?

Then, Yan Mingxu heard Huo Yunzhen's lazy voice.

"Up to 13 minutes."

Huo Yunzhen drew a long tone, looking a little eccentric.

what?

Yan Mingxu froze for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the time.

Eight seventeen.

He told Huo Yunzhen just now that Gao Yinqiu and Ye Baihua had something to do, and they would come over in half an hour at most.

Is this consolation?

Yan Mingxu looked at Huo Yunzhen, Huo Yunzhen was hanging his head, without giving him a look, he looked quite indifferent and arrogant.

... It was the look he was most familiar with, which belonged to Huo Yunzhen.

Yan Mingxu and Huo Yunzhen's grievances began since they were young, and they seemed to be friendly for a short period of time, but they didn't seem to be there anymore.

Yan Mingxu can't remember clearly, his memory about Huo Yunzhen has always been tit-for-tat and mutual loathing.

At first... what was it at first?

Yan Mingxu smiled in a trance.

I remembered.

It was at a banquet.

At that time, Yan Mingxu quarreled with his brother and was still in the cold war.

Yan Mingxu knew that he was mediocre, no matter in terms of brain, appearance, personality or anything else, he could not be compared with his elder brother, who was the outstanding heir of the Yan family, so it was understandable that he was not valued by his father.

Who doesn't like better people?

But... although it is understandable, it is not something easy to accept.

So, when Yan Mingxu hid in the corner and heard someone lament that Young Master Huo and Young Master Yan are so similar, those who didn’t know thought they were brothers, and Young Master Yan didn’t get along with them at all, he exploded , he could not accept.

That is his brother.

Why is Huo Yunzhen more like his brother?

He blamed Huo Yunzhen for his jealousy and anger. He was the one who troubled Huo Yunzhen first.

Huo Yunzhen might have found it inexplicable at first, but everyone has found fault with him, so there is no reason to back down?

Yan Mingxu can't get anything good, and Huo Yunzhen's attainment in language art is countless times his.

Liang Zi formed the knot, and they hated each other, and later became well-known rivals.

But—what Huo Yunzhen didn't know—maybe even Yan Mingxu didn't notice—

His attention shifted from his father, from his elder brother, from Yan's family, from the messy gossip buried in the shadows to Huo Yunzhen, bit by bit, without leaving a trace.

He knows Huo Yunzhen's various little habits, he understands Huo Yunzhen's poisonous tongue and oral habit, after all, he has survived from that mouth since he was a child, and he can guarantee that no one knows how bad Huo Yunzhen's mouth is better than him—— Well, that's actually nothing to be proud of.

If... If he hadn't heard those words, or if he hadn't been so childishly jealous and angry, would he and Huo Yunzhen have become friends?Could it be... that nothing would happen without Ye Baihua?

But there is nothing if in this world.

Only 13 minutes left.

Yan Mingxu glanced at the time subconsciously, his fingers trembling slightly.

Oh no.

Only 10 minutes left.

In just a few minutes, Yan Mingxu suddenly felt calm.

How long have we known each other?

Maybe he didn't understand Huo Yunzhen at all.

... If in the past, he would not have felt that the phrase "13 minutes at most" was a kind of comfort.

Time is really running out.

He can't dawdle any longer.

"Huo Yunzhen," Yan Mingxu said suddenly, "Am I really that bad?"

When Yan Mingxu called out his name very seriously and seriously, three words floated in Huo Yunzhen's mind.

——Help, help!

Huo Yunzhen felt that he had left a psychological shadow on this tone.

"Of course," Huo Yunzhen nodded logically, "Congratulations, you finally realized this, Young Master Yan."

There was an imperceptible stumbling in his voice.

If it was before, Yan Mingxu would definitely not be aware of it, but now...

Young master Huo is always so awkward.

"Thank you."

Yan Mingxu suddenly threw out these three words with a very sincere expression. Huo Yunzhen originally wanted to drink from a water glass, but his hand trembled, and the water glass was almost blown away.

...Thank, thank you to whom?

Huo Yunzhen suddenly wished he was deaf.

Yan Mingxu suddenly relaxed completely.

His back was in close contact with the back of the chair, and he held a water glass in his hand, and then put it in front of Huo Yunzhen.

Huo Yunzhen seemed to be frightened, he didn't touch the water glass.

Yan Mingxu laughed, and he thought of the fire again, of the fishing rod Huo Yunzhen threw at him, of Huo Yunzhen scolding him while helping him up.

In fact, he is still incompetent.

Timidity and fear come from a clear understanding, just like he now knows very clearly that he is not worthy of Huo Yunzhen at all.

The young master Huo who confronted him has already grown up with the passage of time. He has outstanding ability, good intentions, principles and persistence, like light, but not just like light.

As for him, he never grew up, and was still the childish young master Yan who only knew how to escape and vent his anger when encountering things, and was even cynical and felt that the whole world was sorry for him.

He doesn't even deserve to say he likes Huo Yunzhen.

Yan Mingxu felt sad and ashamed. He finally understood where Huo Yunzhen's complicated and pitiful emotions came from the moment he appeared.

But he cannot escape.

He wants to stand up.

He has the courage and the desire to stand up.

Huo Yunzhen gave it to him.

He wants to grow up, maybe not so good, but at least, he is an adult.

An adult who is not so childish and can say the word like.

"That fire," Yan Mingxu paused, and he forced himself to continue, "Do I still owe you a personal and sincere thank you?"

Huo Yunzhen: "?"

In fact, if you have nothing to say, you don’t need to find something to talk about.

... Otherwise, every sentence would make him run wildly on "Help" Hey!

The author has something to say:

Huo Yunzhen: Tongtong, is your seduction plan really usable?
