Chapter Index

    Vicious cannon fodder

    So timid that he hid under the quilt, Yu Yi was shivering in the room, his pretty little face pale.

    The doorbell was still ringing, and it seemed that if Yu Yi didn’t open the door, it would keep making that piercing and terrifying jingle.

    【.】 System 987 saw Yu Yi wrapped himself into a silkworm chrysalis, and with the ringing of the doorbell, they fell together as if in tacit agreement, and couldn’t help but said: “It’s not a ghost, it’s a human outside.”】

    Yu Yi covered his ears: “987, you are lying!”

    “How come people’s words keep ringing?” Yu Yi’s stumbling sound floated out from inside the quilt.

    [If you don’t open the door, others will think something is wrong with you.] System 987 said helplessly: [I will definitely keep ringing the doorbell.】

    Yu Yi thought about it and said, “Oh.”

    But he began to hesitate again: “But, doesn’t it mean no one is there if no one opens the door?”

    System 987: [The light in your living room is on.】

    After hearing System 987’s explanation, Yu Yi immediately wrapped himself in the white air-conditioned quilt on the bed, slowly got up, and walked to the living room where the lights were turned off.

    The lights went out instantly, and the living room became completely dark. The doorbell still rang, but more frequently.

    Yu Yi trembled: “987, you are lying. The lights are off, which means there is no one around. Why is it still ringing!”

    【.】The light was on before but not on now. Doesn’t it mean there is someone inside?The current sound of System 987 paused for a few seconds and said: [Xiaoyi, go and open the door.】

    Yu Yi QAQ: “Black, I’m afraid.”

    [Turn on the light.] System 987 said: [Then open the door.】

    With a slightly tough tone, Yu Yi turned on the light again with his beautiful face completely pale, and the living room returned to its original brightness.

    A pair of straight, white legs were trembling and trembling. Yu Yi moved to the door panel as fast as a turtle, his drooping and curled eyelashes nervously covering the bottom of his eyelids.

    After mustering up the courage, Yu Yi did not open the door directly. He chose to look into the dark and small cat’s eye.

    Timidly, he moved his pink plush slippers forward. Yu Yi’s breathing was rapid and chaotic. He moved slowly, and suddenly the head of the slippers hit the door panel, making a crunching sound.

    Yu Yi’s breath was momentarily held, his pale cheeks turned as pale as fear, his frail little body was trembling slightly, and his weak, boneless fingers covered his lips.

    Prevent yourself from making special and strange sounds again.

    He was obviously looking outside his home to see if anyone was there, but Yu Yi was as scared and cautious as a thief stealing something.

    “Xiaoyi.” A familiar male voice came from the crack of the door, low and hoarse, with a hint of temptation.

    The male voice appeared, and the doorbell disappeared immediately.

    Yu Yi’s heartbeat was about to fall to the ground, like a jumping machine, from the excitement above to the calmness below.

    Yu Yi’s face was white and flushed, and he released his pink hands covering his lips.

    Who is he?So familiar.

    “Are you at the door? I am Li Yinting.” Li Yinting announced his door and said calmly to the door of Yu Yi’s house.

    After hearing Li Yinting’s explanation, Yu Yi was stunned for a few seconds and grabbed the door handle. He wanted to open the door, but due to his timid character, he could only say hesitantly: “Can I…confirm first?”

    It became quiet over there, and Yu Yi implicitly agreed with Li Yinting.

    With his thin eyelids still trembling, Yu Yi stood on tiptoes and looked through the cat’s eyes, and sure enough he saw Li Yinting standing at the door.

    The other party’s deep eyes were locked on the cat’s eye position, and half of the man’s stern face looked a little more gloomy under the dimming sensor light.

    Li Yinting moved the brown leather shoes on the soles of his feet. With a slight sound, the sensor light returned to its original brightness. He looked in the direction of the cat’s eye and said: “…Xiaoyi, don’t you recognize me? Do you want me to call you first to confirm?”

    Yu Yi instinctively wanted to nod, but found that he didn’t bring his cell phone with him at all.

    After turning on the light in the living room, he placed his mobile phone on the sofa.

    “No, I recognize it.” A soft and small voice slowly came through the crack of the door, and with a click, Yu Yi opened the door of his house.

    As soon as the door opens.

    Li Yinting’s standing movements did not change at all. Looking at Yu Yi’s extremely pale face, he couldn’t help but ask: “Did something happen at home just now?”

    “No.” Yu Yi shook his head silently and unconsciously licked his dry lips. The full flesh of his lips became moist under his licking.

    After swallowing his saliva, Yu Yi was afraid of ruining the character of the vicious cannon fodder, but also didn’t want to expose the fact that he was frightened by the doorbell that kept ringing, so he told a little lie: “Just now, I accidentally fell asleep on the bed, and then I had a nightmare and woke up. I heard the doorbell, and when I came out to open the door, I thought I was still in the dream…”

    “But, boss…it’s so late. Do you have any work-related matters when you come to my house?” Seeing Li Yinting’s eyes staring at his lips, Yu Yi couldn’t help but ask.

    Did he come just to see him?Yu Yixin said.

    Noticing that Li Yinting’s gaze shifted from his lips to his clothes, Yu Yi silently lowered his head and saw that he was still wearing the light yellow sailor uniform.

    It’s over!Li Yinting wouldn’t think it was strange for him to wear such clothes to bed at night.

    But it’s really weird, because it doesn’t look right for a boy to wear a skirt to bed.

    Wait, he seems to have had an affair with Li Yinting, and tried to seduce him. Wearing such a short skirt to see him, isn’t it a naked temptation?

    Yu Yi lowered his face, his delicate facial features wrinkled into a ball on his palm-sized face, like a glutinous rice dumpling with missing fillings.

    【.] System 987 heard Yu Yi’s thoughts and comforted him helplessly: [Xiao Yi, vicious cannon fodder has the characteristics of a social butterfly. If you meet anyone dressed like this, no one will think you are strange or think you are a loser.】

    System 987: [On the contrary, it’s wrong for you to keep your head down!】

    Yu Yi: “…Oh.”

    Seeing Yu Yi lowering his little head, the round back of his head was as round as a chestnut, Li Yinting thought of Yu Yi sitting on his lap, his frail body was fragrant and soft, basically consistent with the taste of chestnuts fried in sugar in his mouth.

    Not wanting Yu Yi to keep lowering his head, Li Yinting approached Yu Yi.

    Looking at the leather shoes that were about to hit the tip of his slippers, Yu Yi couldn’t help but raise his head. He heard Li Yinting say to him: “It’s not about work.”

    “It’s a private matter.” In a low and magnetic tone, Li Yinting looked at Yu Yi’s round pupils and said unhurriedly: “I saw the video you sent me.”

    As if to verify with Yu Yi, Li Yinting took the initiative to turn on his phone and showed Yu Yi the video he had taken.

    “…” The corners of his eyes trembled slightly. Seeing the video he shot on someone else’s phone, Yu Yi felt a little embarrassed with his toes on the ground.

    “It’s very beautiful.” Li Yinting said, “But you didn’t take the photo voluntarily.”

    “Because I see that you have been making…weird gestures. Is there someone threatening you? Or maybe you discovered that there is a strange person at home and deliberately sent me a distress message?” Looking at Yu Yi’s pale face, Li Yinting wanted to reach out and touch it, but Yu Yi suddenly took a step back.

    He fell into a big hole, but caught a large piece of elegant fragrance

    Yu Yi: “No.”

    Li Yinting: “Really?”

    Yu Yi nodded bravely and said, “Really. I just wanted to take a picture and then…send it to you.”

    The soft flesh on the plump lips slowly trembled. Yu Yi seemed to be shy, and her fair cheeks slowly turned pink. She bent her pink fingers on the back of the sailor suit and gently pulled a small corner of the dress.

    How could he have thought of a video showing himself as an arrogant and domineering vicious cannon fodder? In the eyes of others, the conclusion would be completely different.

    The face brushing was indeed successful, but it seems to have caused some trouble?Yu Yixin said.

    Seeing Yu Yi’s shy little movements, Li Yinting rolled his throat, as if he had a feeling of having a pie hit his head.

    Li Yinting looked at Yu Yi intently.

    Yu Yi was stiff for a while: “Then…do you have anything else? If not, just leave…”

    Before the word “kai” left his lips, Li Yinting interrupted Yu Yi: “There is something else.”

    Li Yinting: “I came here in a hurry. You didn’t open the door just now. I’m a little thirsty. Can I come into your house and borrow a glass of water? If not, I can go to the convenience store below to help myself.”

    Li Yinting asked. Giving him a glass of water was not an outrageous act. He even came to the house late at night because he was worried about you. If you didn’t give him a glass of water, he would just let him solve it himself.

    It’s unreasonable and unreasonable.

    Yu Yi nodded and gave way: “Okay, come in.”

    “I’ll pour you some water.” As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yinting didn’t hesitate at all. He turned sideways and stood next to Yu Yi with his tall and mighty body.

    Li Yinting suddenly formed a tall and majestic shadow silhouette covering the door panel, like a big tree surrounding Yu Yi, a small sapling.

    Yu Yi paused for a few seconds, and the light above his head gradually dimmed. He could only hear Li Yinting’s low voice: “Then I’m going in, Xiao Yi.”

    …………

    Li Yinting was arranged to sit on the sofa, and Yu Yi went to the kitchen refrigerator to find ice water for him to drink.

    Opening the refrigerator, the light that came on inside forced Yu Yi to squint her beautiful eyes, and her straight and beautiful calves stopped beside the refrigerator.

    Li Yinting took a deep look at Yu Yi’s clumsy search for ice water, then withdrew his gaze and focused on the mobile phone Yu Yi left on the sofa and coffee table.

    It was confirmed that Yu Yi was immersed in searching for ice water in the refrigerator, and the back of his sickly white hand, which was covered with seven or eight band-aids, fell neatly on the coffee table.

    Picking up Yu Yi’s cell phone casually, Li Yinting tried the simplest password – six zeros.

    The phone screen immediately opened.

    The WeChat message interface was displayed in front of Li Yinting’s eyes. A faint white light shone on his angular face, washing the deepest areas of his dark pupils.

    After scanning for a few times, Li Yinting selected the WeChat chat messages between Yu Yi and He Yuexun, and between Yu Yi and Xu Jiangyue.

    His cold expression did not change at all, but his tightly pursed thin lips revealed his deep displeasure.

    Especially when I discovered that Yu Yi sent that touching video to everyone equally.

    His eyes were a little colder.

    Calmly looking at the records of Yu Yi’s communication with them, his rough fingers kept rubbing it, and the outlines of wet fingerprints were blurred on the phone screen.

    The mood was extremely bad.

    Suddenly, Li Yinting heard the small sound Yu Yi made after finding the ice water, and looked towards the kitchen.

    …………

    The bath towel wrapped loosely around his muscular lower body. Shen Changqing’s bare, strong arms and palms covered with thick moisture picked up the mobile phone placed beside the bed.

    After rubbing his hair and hanging a white towel on his shoulders, Shen Changqing turned on the screen of his phone and saw the video sent by Yu Yi and his reply quoting the long message.

    Instinctively, he clicked on the video. When Shen Changqing saw Yu Yi’s white and round toes, he frowned and quickly pulled the progress bar, just in time to stop at the clip where Yu Yi exposed his entire beautiful face.

    Shen Changqing scanned it a few times and looked at Yu Yi’s face repeatedly to confirm that it was him.

    Bad memories flooded into Shen Changqing’s mind.

    The humiliating experience of being drugged by Yu Yi at the banquet that day and forced to apologize is still vivid in his mind.

    Although the drug did not cause any actual damage to him, his face was completely lost.

    Shen Changqing’s face became extremely ugly. He looked at Yu Yi’s video with disdain. Holding back his desire for revenge, he sent Yu Yi a humiliating WeChat message:

    [BBB. British Gentleman Host: I’m not interested in chicks.】

    As soon as I sent it, I felt that it was not humiliating enough. I even turned on the camera function of my phone and took a close-up shot of his strong legs wrapped in a white bath towel and even the obvious and protruding muscle lines of his abdomen.

    After looking at it carefully and focusing on it, Shen Changqing looked at the camera and took several pictures.

    He selected a few photos and sent them to Yu Yi with his sarcastic message:

    [BBB. British Gentleman Manager: If you don’t have the corresponding capital, don’t send it out in the future. It’s very embarrassing.】

    Shen Changqing’s harsh and targeted words quickly bounced onto Yu Yi’s cell phone.

    Li Yinting was just about to check the chat history between Yu Yi and Jin Minglang when he saw the new message from Shen Changqing.

    Look at the new news rather than the old.

    When he saw the photos Shen Changqing sent to Yu Yi, he didn’t bother to pay attention to the mocking messages that followed.

    Is Yu Yi naked and chatting with him?Or was he deliberately seducing Yu Yi.

    Who is he?Li Yinting said in his heart.

    Due to Yu Yi’s new note and Li Yinting not scrolling up to check other information, his focus was only on the photo, so he didn’t know Shen Changqing’s specific identity at all.

    Li Yinting reacted and was about to look up at the news when the sound of Yu Yi pulling on his slippers sounded. He looked in the direction where Yu Yi was walking towards him.

    Yu Yi walked towards the sofa with a newly washed and filled glass cup, walking slowly.

    Li Yinting took the opportunity to move his fingers, and when Yu Yi didn’t notice him, he changed Shen Changqing’s message to unread status.

    The water cup landed heavily on the coffee table. Only then did Yu Yi see the familiar mobile phone case in Li Yinting’s hand. He was stunned for a few seconds and his eyes widened.

    Li Yinting didn’t feel any embarrassment at all. She naturally turned off the screen, put down her phone, picked up the water glass and drank a large piece of cool ice water.

    Yu Yi stood there, staring at Li Yinting’s expression of being caught but not feeling guilty at all. He pursed his lips and said, “You…”

    Li Yinting’s face remained the same and she interrupted him calmly: “I didn’t peek at your phone. I just saw that your phone was ringing. I thought someone was calling you, so I picked it up and took a look, and found that it was just a message.”

    “Look, the phone screen is locked, and the messages are just popping up.” Li Yinting showed Yu Yi’s phone screen as if nothing had happened. Li Yinting simply stated that he had not peeked into Yu Yi’s private messages.

    Yu Yi looked at the lock screen and felt awkward: “That’s it, then… thank you.”

    But I felt a little weird in my heart.

    It may be that a stranger touches your mobile phone and feels that your personal space has been touched, causing discomfort, Yu Yixin said.

    Before Yu Yi had time to think about it, Li Yinting took the initiative to interrupt his deep thoughts.

    Li Yinting held the phone in both hands and handed it to him, and Yu Yi subconsciously took it.

    Li Yinting: “No need to thank me. I should thank you for the water. It’s very late now, so I’ll go back first.”

    Although his tone seemed to be a statement, Li Yinting’s eyes kept staring at Yu Yi, as if he was expecting Yu Yi to stay with him for one night.

    Yu Yi, who walked all the way to the end, could not understand the deep meaning of Li Yinting’s words. He just nodded and planned to send Li Yinting out.

    Seeing that Yu Yi couldn’t understand, Li Yinting didn’t clarify his thoughts, but stood up silently, acquiescing that Yu Yi would see him to the door.

    It’s better to give something than not to give it.Li Yinting said in his heart.

    Li Yinting stood beside Yu Yi, and the phone in Yu Yi’s palm vibrated.

    Opening the phone screen, Yu Yi recognized his face, unlocked the screen, and saw Shen Changqing’s latest news:

    [BBB. British Gentleman Manager: I plan to unilaterally terminate the cooperation we discussed tonight.】

    Yu Yi was stunned for a few seconds, and subconsciously wanted to ask Shen Changqing why.

    Suddenly I felt a hot gaze.

    Without even turning off the screen, Yu Yi stuffed the phone into the shallow pocket of the pleated skirt matching the sailor suit.

    The phone’s screen was still glowing.

    His little hand turned down the phone screen, and the lighted part was pointed at the dark end of the pocket.

    Changing the direction, Yu Yi’s mobile phone case revealed a small pattern outside the pocket.

    Looking at Li Yinting, their eyes met, Yu Yi explained: “There was news just now, so I glanced subconsciously…”

    Li Yinting nodded, as if he didn’t seem to care much about the news mentioned by Yu Yi.

    Yu Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Li Yinting didn’t see it.

    He didn’t notice that Li Yinting glanced at the flashing red light of the camera on Yu Yi’s phone case.

    Then he glanced at the faint light in the small gap on the back of the sofa as if nothing had happened.

    Seeing what Li Yinting was looking at, Yu Yi looked over subconsciously. As soon as he turned his face, Li Yinting retracted his gaze and said softly to him: “Xiao Yi, you have finished reading the news. Can we leave now?”
