[LMAO, he's getting mad~ So mad~]
[Oh man, I can't take it. Why aren't people sending comments anymore? Did they actually get muted?]
[Didn't see that coming, did you! I have an alt! Blehhh~ I'll keep posting~]
Out of sight, out of mind. Ji Chi decisively left Wen He's livestream, then opened his chat with his friend.
J: What would you do if your Xiao Guai ran off with someone else?
Nan: Uh... impossible! My Xiao Guai is the most obedient! The best-behaved!
J: Then what if someone lured Xiao Guai away?
Nan: Then I'd get someone to throw a sack over that person's head and beat them up, then take Xiao Guai back.
Reading the messages on the screen, Ji Chi suddenly felt much better. He thought the other man was right... lawyers, well, people were always throwing sacks over their heads and beating them up...
Who would ever know who had done it?
The more Ji Chi thought about it, the more feasible Quan Chongnian's method seemed. Just as he was considering which rich brats' lackeys could carry out the job precisely and without any slipups, Quan Chongnian suddenly called.
"Fuck? Ji Chi, do you have a death wish??"
Ji Chi held the phone away in displeasure and clicked his tongue irritably.
"What? Keep your voice down!"
Hearing that, Quan Chongnian also worried that this was inappropriate. Afraid the production crew would record their conversation, he deliberately lowered his voice.
"You're livestreaming, aren't you? You're not actually thinking of getting someone to beat up that Jiang Ye, are you? You can't do that. The moment you make a move, you'll get caught..."
Though the guess was right, Ji Chi wasn't annoyed. He retorted, "No... what the fuck are you talking about?"
Quan Chongnian choked on his words. He had guessed right.
The other man always swore when he had a guilty conscience.
"First of all... Wen He isn't Xiao Guai. He's a person, not a pet. You can't treat him like a pet. Do you actually like him, or are you just playing around?"
Quan Chongnian didn't believe in love growing over time. He never had.
All those cases of love growing over time involved spending a long time together, then suddenly realizing one day that you liked the other person. But could you call that love growing over time?
No, because realizing you liked someone happened in an instant. For young masters like them, love growing over time was even rarer.
Love at first sight was just a matter of how long your feelings lasted. If they lasted, it was love at first sight. If they didn't, it was lust at first sight.
So from the moment Ji Chi stepped into the manor and looked at Wen He differently, he had known Ji Chi had taken a fancy to Wen He...
But his childhood friend still didn't seem able to work out what those feelings actually were.
Besides, he himself had no idea how long this affection, which Ji Chi hadn't even recognized himself, would last.
"I've watched the livestream for so long, so I'll just say it... that Wen He doesn't like anyone at all. That Jiang Ye is just imagining his affection is returned! You don't need to worry, either. I don't think he's going to like you right now, either. You can take some time to think about whether you really like him. You..."
Before he could finish the rest, the other man hung up at lightning speed. He knew Ji Chi had taken his words to heart.
"What a load of bullshit."
To me, he's just a little... pet? To pass the time when I'm bored? No... now he doesn't even count as a pet.
Ignoring the cameraman following him, he walked into the waterside restaurant on his own.
Quan Chongnian's words had successfully angered Ji Chi, but he wouldn't be angry with him. If a pet didn't like him, he could just get another one, couldn't he?
After all, more than one person was lining up to be Young Master Ji's dog.
What fucking love? Has Quan Chongnian watched a few romance movies and rotted his brain?
Ji Chi suddenly regretted messaging him. All he did was interfere.
The noodles coated in sour tomato sauce had barely entered Ji Chi's mouth before he spat them out.
"What is this disgusting crap?"
Ji Chi casually dumped the large plate of spaghetti Bolognese in front of him into the nearby trash can.
"Sure enough, nothing cheap is any good. Tastes like shit."
Watching from his hiding place far away by the restaurant entrance, Zhang Shengsheng didn't dare approach. He was somewhat afraid of him...
But God never looked kindly on everyone facing impending disaster.
Sure enough, Ji Chi spotted Zhang Shengsheng far away by the entrance.
The sharp blue diamond gleamed in the sunlight. Ji Chi reached up to stroke it, covering its brilliance, and walked toward him with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
After getting off the Ferris wheel, Wen He braced himself against the dolphin structure beside him. His calves were still trembling a little, but he kept enduring it until, as time ticked by, he slowly lifted his leg and finally felt that he was truly touching the ground.
Only after hopping lightly twice on the ground did he speak to Jiang Ye.
"Bye-bye, Lawyer Jiang..."
Remembering what Jiang Ye had said to him on the Ferris wheel, Wen He felt there was absolutely no problem with it.
After all, he was a good person, and he treated him quite well...
Seeing that he was all right, Jiang Ye hurried away. He urgently needed to get to the next task location.
Only then could he get tomorrow's date invitation card.
To accomplish great things, one had to cast aside all distracting thoughts!
[NO~ Why do we still not know what they talked about?]
[I really want to know! The production crew is completely useless~]
Once he left, Wen He took a slightly creased card from his pocket and said to the camera, "I want to use the bonus points card."
The production crew said, "OK, you now have four points. You still need to complete six small activities to reach the final destination."
Great... I just need to find three more different guests.
For some reason, the first person who came to mind was Ji Chi. That flamboyant red hair and crushed-ice blue diamond immediately appeared before his eyes.
Ji Chi isn't close to the others in the house. If I invite him, he'll definitely agree... right?
That way, I can finish the task quickly.
At the thought, a hint of a smile touched Wen He's usually calm face, and even the faint little dimples beside his mouth began to show.
Ah... but where would he be?
Should I message him and ask? But would that count as cheating?
Forget it. The show needs to be fair... I'll just look for him.
Wen He studied the locations marked on the map in his hand and began guessing what rides Ji Chi would enjoy.
He knew Ji Chi probably wouldn't force himself to go on rides just to complete tasks. He would likely only go on the ones he liked.
Something thrilling, probably... Looking at the log flume on the map, he couldn't say why, but an answer in his mind kept telling him that Ji Chi would definitely go on that ride now.
Putting the map away, Wen He walked unhurriedly toward the log flume.
The little fan in his hand was still working hard to fulfill its purpose, keeping its new owner cool.
There were a lot of people queuing for the log flume. This sort of water park attraction was popular. In the sweltering heat, Zhang Shengsheng stood there feeling as though he was about to get heatstroke, yet this was precisely when Ji Chi would toss him an ice pop to cool him down and make him cough up some gold coins while he was at it.
