WG - 65

“Not at all!” Yang Bin hurriedly explained, “Little Chi, don’t misunderstand!”

Ding Hui forgot he was still grabbing someone and directly said, “Where’s the bullying? Little Chi, don’t listen to his nonsense.”

Hearing Xie Ye mention bullying, Chi Zhiyu combined the current situation, glanced around at the three of them, took a step back, calmly nodded, seemingly understanding, “You guys continue.”

“...”

After saying that, she kindly closed the door.

...

Chi Zhiyu turned around with a smile. Lin Jie was still live streaming when he saw her come out, immediately turned off the mic, and looked at her. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Chi Zhiyu chuckled, explaining, “Xie Ye probably did something annoying.”

“Oh.”

Lin Jie understood. He knew Xie Ye usually spoke in an annoying way, and they were almost driven crazy by it every day. Today, Ding Hui and Yang Bin probably couldn’t bear it anymore and finally took action.

“You continue your live stream.” Chi Zhiyu casually sat down on Xie Ye’s seat to watch his live stream without being captured by the camera.

Lin Jie nodded and turned the mic back on. The fans inside were asking why the mic suddenly turned off.

He casually replied, “Your Ding Shao and Wild are playing around, asking me questions.”

As soon as this statement came out, a bunch of people started popping up.

[Ahhhh Wild!!!]

[What are they playing! What are they playing! So curious!!!]

[Please, Lin, let us see Wild and Ding Shao!!!]

[Wild! Look, Lin is live streaming, and you’re actually playing with Ding Shao!!!]

While Lin Jie was playing the game, seeing this comment, he chuckled, “Wild has his own live stream too, right?”

[He does have a live stream, but can’t he do more than that!!]

The club had a partnership with a corresponding live streaming platform. Each player had a required amount of live streaming time. Although Xie Ye diligently streamed, he strictly followed the principle of keeping promises.

A little more or less in streaming time made no difference; it just met the requirement.

[And I want to see his face!!! Can you make him turn on the camera!!!]

[Though his voice is also mesmerizing ahhhh]

[No! I’m obsessed with his face!!!]

[Lin, persuade Wild God to show his face more often; might as well use it if you have it.]

Chi Zhiyu looked at this string of bullet comments, raised an eyebrow, “Appearance-based business?”

Her voice was picked up, and the bullet comments quickly responded with a flurry of agreement.

The next second.

[???? Wait a minute, who just spoke?]

[Huh? Isn’t it Lin?]

[Isn’t that a young lady’s voice?]

[??????]

A series of question marks popped up.

Chi Zhiyu was momentarily stunned, forgetting that it could pick up sound. Lin Jie also didn’t react in time. After snapping back to reality, his mind quickly whirred, and he hastily replied, “It’s a team member’s family.”

Chi Zhiyu: ...

Chi Zhiyu: ?

Lin Jie was also helpless because Old Mu often told Xie Ye that Chi Zhiyu was his family, so the first thing he thought of at that moment was this term. And since he already said it, there was nothing to be done about it. After all, isn’t Chi Zhiyu Xie Ye’s family?

Upon hearing this answer, the bullet comments quickly asked.

[Family??]

[What kind of family???]

[Sister?]

[Whose? Who has sisters?]

[Does Wild God have sisters? What’s her name? Xie Mei?]

[Xie Mei, don’t run away, this is quite excellent, hahahaha]

[Xie Mei made me laugh so hard, Wild and Mei hahahaha]

As Wu Xuan said,

This more than a month was enough for netizens to dig up Wild’s information, but they only knew basic things like his real name, and nothing else could be found.

[Wild God doesn’t seem like someone who has sisters, I guess it’s Yang Bin and Ding Hui’s]

Seeing this comment, Lin Jie coughed and vaguely replied, “Sort of.”

The bullet comments went, “Oh,” indicating understanding. They obviously weren’t very interested in sisters and only shouted in the chat that sisters were good, then didn’t ask further and continued discussing other topics, returning to Wild’s live stream.

Seeing the topic diverted, Chi Zhiyu sighed in relief, turned to Lin Jie, and silently apologized wordlessly.

Lin Jie casually turned off the mic, shook his head, and said it was fine.

Chi Zhiyu decided not to sit here anymore, whispered to him, “Do you want some water? I’ll pour you a glass.”

Lin Jie could do it himself. Chi Zhiyu nodded, stood up, and walked to the tea room behind, picked up the kettle to start boiling water. Not even a few seconds later, she saw the door of the neighboring brawl open from inside.

Ding Hui and Yang Bin came out with smug faces, and Xie Ye followed behind. Seeing her in the tea room, he walked over and casually closed the door.

Chi Zhiyu placed the kettle on the base, saw him come in, looked around his face, raised an eyebrow, “Did they really hit you?”

“Mm.” Xie Ye casually said, “They hit me.”

“Where did they hit you?” Chi Zhiyu looked at him, “You’re not injured.”

“Oh.” Xie Ye spat out two words, “Internal injury.”

“...”

Chi Zhiyu was amused by his ability to tell lies with a straight face, nodded, “Alright, then digest it yourself.”

“...” Xie Ye laughed angrily, “What do you mean by self-digestion?”

He held her hand, pulling her into his arms, leaned down close to her face, “You just left me there to be bullied earlier, do you still have a conscience?”

Chi Zhiyu slightly leaned her body back, and hearing this, she laughed, “Where were you bullied.”

Staring at her still laughing, Xie Ye inexplicably chuckled, “They pulled my collar, isn’t that bullying me?”

Chi Zhiyu thought of that scene and laughed even harder, “No, wasn’t that voluntary on your part?”

“Voluntary my ass.” Xie Ye wrapped his arms around her waist, continued bending down closer to her, “Boyfriend gets bullied, and you’re siding with others.”

“Where’s it my fault.” Chi Zhiyu rested her hands on his shoulders, squinted her eyes, guessing, “You definitely said something, right?”

Other than this, there was nothing else annoying about this person.

Xie Ye was very calm, “They envied me having a girlfriend, I told them not to envy me.”

“...” Chi Zhiyu nearly choked, “No wonder they wanted to hit you, so annoying.”

“Isn’t this the truth?” Xie Ye seemed to find no problem, slightly straightened up, and pulled her into his arms, “This is advising them not to indulge in false hopes.”

The kettle beside them boiled, making gurgling sounds. Chi Zhiyu was amused by his words, “Can you talk properly?”

Xie Ye’s tone was very annoying, “Nope.”

“...” Chi Zhiyu laughed and slapped his hand away, “Alright, let go first, I need to pour water.”

This time, Xie Ye surprisingly honestly let go of her hand. Chi Zhiyu picked up a nearby tea bag, opened it one by one, and put them into the cups, thinking of the live streaming incident earlier, she explained, “Will the fans suspect anything if I suddenly pop up like this?”

“Hmm?” Xie Ye’s tone was lazy, “You’re not my sister.”

“...”

“What if they find out you have a girlfriend?” In Chi Zhiyu’s impression, such public figures’ fans couldn’t accept them having girlfriends.

Perhaps guessing what she was thinking, Xie Ye snorted, “Does my girlfriend need their acceptance?”

“...”

The implication was clear.

I do have a girlfriend, but it’s none of your damn business, stop meddling.

Chi Zhiyu inexplicably wanted to laugh, “Then what if the fans unfollow because of this?”

“Let them unfollow.”

Xie Ye completely didn’t care, picked up the kettle nearby, slowly poured hot water into the cup, soaking the tea bags.

After pouring the water, Xie Ye put the kettle back in place and warned her not to touch the cup.

Chi Zhiyu obediently stood aside, holding his hand, watching the white mist rise from the cup’s mouth.

Xie Ye opened the door and gave instructions to whoever was outside, “You, come and get the water.”

After waiting a few seconds, Yang Bin ran in happily.

Chi Zhiyu: ...

With someone to carry the water, Xie Ye directly took her out.

Lin Jie’s live stream had ended, and Ding Hui was playing with his phone next to him.

Chi Zhiyu sat next to Xie Ye, looking at their state, slightly puzzled, “Why are you guys so slack recently? Don’t you train?”

“It’s still early.” Xie Ye’s tone was casual.

It was only late August, so it was indeed a bit early.

Chi Zhiyu hummed, “No wonder you guys are so bored.”

These people were lying on the sofa playing Candy Crush.

Xie Ye leaned back on the sofa, hearing this, his eyelashes moved slightly, leisurely saying, “Sorry, they are bored, not me.”

“Hmm? What do you mean we are bored?” Yang Bin was still naive, instinctively protesting, “Don’t you feel bored too? How can you say it’s us?”

“Just you guys,” Xie Ye said, “Why don’t you know you’re bored?”

“...”

“And me,” Xie Ye’s tone became arrogant again, “I’m not bored at all with my wife accompanying me.”

“...”

•

Xie Ye indeed wasn’t bored, following Chi Zhiyu around, regularly live streaming to play games, and then mocking his teammates, then getting scolded and insulted by them. Not long after, it was early September.

New students from various universities began registering and enrolling one after another.

On Chi Zhiyu’s first day of school, Bai Li and Chi Yan didn’t accompany her.

The day before, Chi Yan sent a secretary with a set of cosmetics and an unlimited bank card as her promotion gift.

Chi Zhiyu accepted it.

When going to school that day, Jian Yazhi originally wanted to accompany her, but Chi Zhiyu politely declined, saying she wasn’t alone, Wu Xuan would accompany her, and there was no need to worry.

Wu Xuan also didn’t have her parents send her, using the same reason. The two of them took a car together to the school, completed all the registration procedures, and then received their dormitory keys and headed towards the dormitory building.

Since they were in the same dance department and there were not many people, Chi Zhiyu and Wu Xuan, who registered together, were assigned to the same dormitory. After greeting their roommates and introducing themselves, they went out together to find the cafeteria for food.

After leaving the dormitory building, Wu Xuan opened her parasol and asked, “Today is Northru’s opening day too, right? Did Xie Ye go to register?”

Chi Zhiyu, disliking the strong sun, moved inward a bit, “No, he went to handle the suspension procedures.”

Wu Xuan nodded, “That’s why I thought so. I haven’t seen him today.”

Chi Zhiyu checked the time, “He might come here in a while.”

“Then tell him not to come,” Wu Xuan directly hugged her waist, “Anyway, you’ve been contracted by me.”

Chi Zhiyu smiled, “What contract, what are you thinking?”

“But you know,” Wu Xuan looked around at the bustling road, leaned over to her ear, and whispered, “There are so many handsome guys here.”

“...” Chi Zhiyu turned her head and scanned around, raising an eyebrow, “Interested in anyone?”

Wu Xuan clicked her tongue, “Am I that shallow?”

“You,” Chi Zhiyu blinked, “aren’t you?”

“?”

Wu Xuan glared, “That’s excessive, how can you slander me like that.”

While still condemning her, they happened to reach the cafeteria entrance. Wu Xuan changed the topic, quickly folded the umbrella, and pulled her inside, “Quick, let’s see what’s good to eat.”

Seeing the crowded crowd ahead, Chi Zhiyu frowned, “So many people.”

“There’s no way, it’s the first day of school.” Wu Xuan held her hand to check what was available to eat, and eventually, they both ordered a portion of braised chicken rice.

Wu Xuan went ahead to save seats and get bowls and chopsticks. When it was their turn, Chi Zhiyu carried the tray and walked to the back. She immediately spotted Wu Xuan waving at her.

Chi Zhiyu carried it over and sat opposite her, not yet starting to speak.

Wu Xuan placed the chopsticks in front of her and quietly said, “We’d better order takeout next time.”

“...”

“Though I love the cafeteria, there are just too many people.” Wu Xuan nodded affirmatively, “I love takeout.”

Chi Zhiyu was already too lazy to deal with her. Feeling her phone vibrate, she took it out and glanced at it.

Xie Ye: [Where are you?]

Chi Zhiyu: [Cafeteria One.]

Chi Zhiyu: [Are you coming?]

Xie Ye: [At the entrance.]

Chi Zhiyu: [Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?]

Xie Ye: [Not hungry, just wait for me properly.]

After sending the message, Wu Xuan casually asked while eating, “Is Xie Ye here?”

Chi Zhiyu: “At the school gate, he should arrive soon.”

Wu Xuan hummed, casually looked outside, paused, and quietly said, “Chi Zhiyu, did Xie Ye say he’s at the school gate?”

Chi Zhiyu lazily responded, “What’s wrong?”

Wu Xuan narrowed her eyes, “Then who’s that cool and arrogant handsome guy in front?”

“Hmm?” Chi Zhiyu turned her head following her gaze, blinked.

Xie Ye was only a few steps away from them, standing tall with a black baseball cap on. The brim covered his eyebrows and eyes, only revealing his sharp jawline, but it didn’t suppress his arrogance at all; instead, it added a touch of nonchalance.

Xie Ye raised his eyes and focused on the girl turning her head to look at him.

Their eyes met.

He strode over, casually pulled out the chair next to Chi Zhiyu, and sat down.

Chi Zhiyu snapped back to reality, “How did you get here so fast? Didn’t you say you were at the school gate?”

“Who said I was at the school gate?” Xie Ye tapped her phone with his fingers, “Read carefully.”

Hearing this, Chi Zhiyu opened her phone and looked at the message he sent earlier.

—[At the entrance]

“? “

Chi Zhiyu asked again, “How did you know I was at Cafeteria One?”

“Exactly.” Wu Xuan was also confused, “Have you been tracking us?”

“Tracking my ass.” Xie Ye glanced at Chi Zhiyu, “Would you deliberately take a big detour to go to another cafeteria after leaving the dormitory?”

Chi Zhiyu: “...”

No.

Wu Xuan suddenly understood. This guy probably guessed based on Chi Zhiyu’s personality that she wouldn’t bother walking far or going to another cafeteria. So, by asking where the classical dance department dormitory was, he could basically guess.

“...”

Wu Xuan choked, suddenly not wanting to understand.

Shit.

...

After finishing the meal, Wu Xuan directly left the two of them, waving goodbye with a straight face.

Chi Zhiyu understood her resentment, smiled and watched her leave, then turned her head to look at Xie Ye, reached out to carefully adjust his hat, “Be careful not to be discovered.”

As the two walked on campus, there were still some students dragging suitcases for registration, bustling with activity.

Xie Ye slightly bent down to make it easier for her to adjust, eye level with her.

After Chi Zhiyu adjusted his hat, she looked at his still somewhat conspicuous face, frowned, “I think you should visit me less often.”

Xie Ye: “?”

“Wearing this hat is like not wearing one at all.” Chi Zhiyu said, “If you get recognized, it would only drag me down.”

“...”

Xie Ye laughed in anger, “What nonsense are you talking about.”

“This is for our safety.” Chi Zhiyu patted his head, “And if you keep visiting me, Wu Xuan will be abandoned by me, which isn’t good for her.”

Xie Ye straightened up, sneered, “Is she still a kid?”

“No matter small or not, she’s my good sister.” Chi Zhiyu argued with him.

“Oh.” Xie Ye’s tone turned cold, “Then am I your good brother?”

Chi Zhiyu was instantly amused by him, reached out to hold his hand and walk forward, “Good brothers stick together.”

Xie Ye: “Where to?”

“Hmm.” Chi Zhiyu thought for a moment, “You can’t go up to my dormitory, and it’s still early now. Let me send you back to the base.”

Xie Ye had no objections, following her leisurely towards the school gate. The two chatted intermittently.

Getting on the bus, nearing the base, Xie Ye sat beside her, playing with her hand, and lectured, “Stay away from men during class.”

Perhaps thinking of something, staring at her face, he added, “Stay away from women too.”

Hearing this earnest advice, Chi Zhiyu chuckled, “So I can’t approach anyone, right?”

Xie Ye raised an eyebrow, “Didn’t I tell you to stay close to me?”

“Oh, no.” Chi Zhiyu shook her head, “I have to stay close to Wu Xuan.”

Xie Ye clicked his tongue, “Tell her to be conscious and not cling to you all day, got it?”

“We only know each other here, how can we possibly separate?”

“Can’t find a man?”

“Oh, me?” Chi Zhiyu deliberately misinterpreted, nodding, “Mm, let me scout around. Once I find someone, I’ll notify you.”

“...”

Xie Ye lifted his eyelids, seemingly looking down on her, coldly laughed, his voice icy, “Fine, go scout.”

Chi Zhiyu suppressed the laughter at the corner of her mouth, “Hmm? Really?”

Xie Ye’s warning tone was full, “If you dare, try it.”

Looking at his stern expression, outsiders would think he was very fierce, and the oppressive aura silently pressed down. But Chi Zhiyu always found it funny every time she looked at him, always wanting to tease him.

Just as Chi Zhiyu was about to say something, the bus gradually stopped, reaching the destination.

The voice paused slightly, Chi Zhiyu stood up and followed Xie Ye off the bus. Seeing him still with a cold face, she poked the palm of his hand and moved closer to him, “Mr. Xie.”

This sudden form of address made Xie Ye’s eyelashes flicker, and he looked up at her.

Chi Zhiyu smiled, “Today is the first day of school. I found that you are the most handsome boy, exactly how I like it, so—”

“Do you want to date me?”

“...”

Unexpectedly, such words came out.

Hearing this, Xie Ye’s expression visibly softened. Looking at her face, seemingly not caring at all, his lips relaxed, and he arrogantly said, “Oh, no thanks.”

“? “

Xie Ye stared at her, cockily raised an eyebrow, leisurely said, “I have a girlfriend.”
