Chapter 6-8 (extra)

Chapter 6

Xie Zhiyao didn't expect to meet Gu Chaocheng again so soon.

This afternoon, his boy group would be holding a fan meeting in the Sheng He building, which belonged to Hua Sheng. Coincidentally, Gu Chaocheng happened to come to inspect the work today.

When Xie Zhiyao heard the news, he was instantly so happy that he jumped up three feet before he sped to the dressing room and made up his hair for a long time.

Gu Chaocheng came to the event venue before Xie Zhiyao went up on stage. When the manager heard from the event organizer that he was coming, he hurried to treat him with hospitality eagerly. Xie Zhiyao wanted to take advantage of the chaos to squeeze in, but was pulled away by the manager halfway as he reprimanded, "Xie Zhiyao, do you know who's sitting inside? Why are you barging in here?"

Xie Zhiyao's lips moved, he asked tentatively, "It must be president Gu."

"You know that too? So why did you run here?" The manager shooed him away to the stage, "Quickly go and rehearse."

Dispirited, Xie Zhiyao walked towards the stage listlessly. But before he could walk halfway, he heard a restless movement from behind.

It turned out to be Gu Chaocheng coming out surrounded by a group of people. Next to him, the manager was eagerly making introductions, "Although our group is a little less reputable, the quality of work is still very high. President Gu, if you have time, you can watch their performance, or you can let them introduce our case to you."

Xie Zhiyao immediately resurrected from the dead. He turned around and stared straight at Gu Chaocheng, the corners of his mouth raised up to the sky. His hands hidden in his sleeves swung rapidly as he waved to Gu Chaocheng.

Sure enough, Gu Chaocheng saw him, but his line of sight only fell on Xie Zhiyao for a few seconds before moving away indifferently.

Seeing that Xie Zhiyao was standing close by, and knowing that he was talkative and likeable, the manager waved to him, "Zhiyao, come here, tell president Gu about our group."

Xie Zhiyao just took a step forward when he heard Gu Chaocheng say, "The beta next to you, come here."

It was like Xie Zhiyao fell into ice water in an instant. He looked at Gu Chaocheng blankly, but Gu Chaocheng wasn't looking at him.

Wu Ke was standing next to him, and indeed, when Gu Chaocheng called him, Wu Ke immediately greeted him.

Xie Zhiyao was confused and stupefied about what happened after, so he couldn't remember clearly. It's just that late at night, Wu Ke hadn't returned yet. Xie Zhiyao didn't want to go back to the dorms either, so he stood downstairs and talked to the cat that was in contemplation. The cat ignored him, but the dog greeted him. Xie Zhiyao's nose felt a little irritated. He booped the dog's nose and sighed, "I'm asking you to be self-sentimental, I'm asking you to be self-sentimental, how embarrassing."

Chapter 7

Wu Ke had never experienced such petty annoyance in his life.

Although his appearance wasn't one of the best in the group, at least he was in charge of visuals. The second rich generation people who wanted to be friends with him could form a line from downstairs of the company to West street…but unexpectedly, Gu Chaocheng had ignored him the entire time?

Gu Chaocheng brought him to a restaurant and started eating as soon as the dishes were served without saying a single word. After eating, he asked the driver to send him back.

It was like he was reluctantly doing a task.

"Is this person sick?" As Wu Ke thought about the absorbed look of Gu Chaocheng when he ate, he felt a chill, "In any case, he's also the president of Hua Sheng, why doesn't he have style at all?"

Wu Ke gagged as he walked to the dormitory, when he saw Xie Zhiyao squatting by the corner petting a cat. As he walked closer, he could even hear him babbling on to himself.

Wu Ke didn't want to say hello to Xie Zhiyao, but when Xie Zhiyao turned around and saw him, he swiftly got up, "You're back?"

"What are you doing downstairs?"

Xie Zhiyao hid his thoughts, "Feeding the cat."

Wu Ke felt that Xie Zhiyao was hopeless. He didn't bother talking to him, so he went straight to the elevator. But Xie Zhiyao caught up from behind and asked in hesitation, "W-why are you back so late?"

"What's that got to do with you?"

Xie Zhiyao was left speechless. As he was about to think of a way to get the words out from Wu Ke with difficulty, next to them, several artists from the company came over. When they saw Wu Ke, they greeted him exaggeratedly, "Eh yo! isn't this our future president's wife?"

Wu Ke wasn't popular in the company, and he also knew what these people meant by these words.

"Eh, Wu Ke, what did Gu Chaocheng take you to do today?" Someone asked.

Xie Zhiyao's heart tightened and he immediately pricked up his ears.

"We just had a simple meal," Wu Ke twirled his hair1 and said with a smile, "President Gu is quite humorous, he told me a lot of stories about his past."

"Eh, I heard that his pheromone grade is very high, and he's also particular about exercising self-control."

Wu Ke covered his mouth as he smiled, "Ah, I don't know about this."

Everyone around immediately laughed, half-serious and half-fake.

Only Xie Zhiyao didn't laugh. He stood at the corner of the elevator with his head down, staring blankly at the tip of his toes.

It turned out that…Gu Chaocheng had such a side. Being dull and blunt was fake, while not bothering to emit charm towards him was real.

Back in the dormitory, Wu Ke took a shower. When he came out, Xie Zhiyao was already wrapped in his blankets. He suddenly remembered something, then went to the living room, took out something from his coat, and went back to their room and tossed it far away on Xie Zhiyao's bed.

"President Gu asked me to bring it to you."

Xie Zhiyao was a little confused. He only realized that it was his notebook when he picked it up.

He had dropped it backstage at the wedding. Gu Chaocheng had picked it up for him and even asked someone to give it back to him.

"Do you know him?"

Xie Zhiyao didn't know how to answer, but said, "The person who saved me on the road that day was president Gu."

Wu Ke was astonished and raised his eyebrows after a while, "Oh."

"What's wrong?" Xie Zhiyao grabbed his blanket and asked nervously, "Did president Gu say anything?"

Wu Ke shook his head, "No, he didn't say anything, he just asked me to bring this to you."

Xie Zhiyao nodded his head in disappointment.

Wu Ke climbed into bed and was about to turn the lights off when he suddenly said, "It seems like president Gu doesn't like omegas, he's disgusted with the smell of omegas, but he's also not gay."

These words weren't actually said from Gu Chaocheng's mouth, and Gu Chaocheng hadn't looked him in the eye the entire time. Wu Ke only gossiped with Gu Chaocheng's driver while he went back to the office to get something.

"Master is a very eccentric person." This was the driver's comment about Gu Chaocheng.

It's bearable if a person is a little strange, it's fine if they have money. Wu Ke brainwashed himself, then picked up his phone and scrolled through his friend circle while humming a tune.

He didn't notice Xie Zhiyao on the other side, whose expression had already become extremely lonely. With red-rimmed eyes, he held the small square book in his hand and stared at the ceiling without saying a word.

Xie Zhiyao thought sadly: He had never tasted the sweetness of love, but tasted the bitterness first. He shouldn't be so easily moved.

Chapter 8

"Zhiyao, why are your dark circles so serious?" Seeing the dispirted Xie Zhiyao, Lang ge, the eldest in the group, immediately put down what he was doing at hand and walked over.

Xie Zhiyao rubbed his eyes and asked in hesitation, "Lang ge, tell me, what does it feel like to be interested in someone?"

Lang ge was stunned, then he smiled, "Oh, our youngest has grown up and is finally enlightened! Quick, tell gege who is it?"

"I-"

Their group member in the other room just happened to come out. Hearing Lang ge's words, he instantly strode over and looked at Xie Zhiyao with a gossipy look in his eyes, "What, what, did our youngest get out of the single life?"

"I didn't-"

Before Xie Zhiyao could finish, he was talked over by the two people around him until he had to raise his hands in surrender, "I didn't leave the single life, and I don't have a partner. I just have a secret one-sided interest in someone, and then they don't like omegas."

Lang ge's expression stalled, and right after reacting, he patted Xie Zhiyao's shoulder, "It's okay, Zhiyao, don't be sad, there are plenty of fish in the sea."

"Yeah, this isn't your problem. You're so cute, it's his loss for not liking you."

Wu Ke came out of the room. He yawned a few times, looked at the three people on the sofa, and then went to the kitchen.

Lang ge scoffed and said scornfully, "Don't pay attention to him. His tail raised up towards the sky after having a meal alone with Gu Chaocheng. He really thinks he's going to marry into a rich family."

The person next to him lowered his voice and asked, "But it's really strange, I heard that Gu Chaocheng doesn't interact with celebrities. Don't mention eating alone, he doesn't even take group photos. How can a person like him be interested in Wu Ke?"

"Don't care about him," Lang ge patted Xie Zhiyao's back and said to him, "Zhiyao, don't be influenced by him. No matter what Gu Chaocheng or Li Chaocheng, we don't care."

The corner of Xie Zhiyao's mouth drooped down again.

He really wanted to listen to Lang ge's advice and wanted to give up this abrupt and unknown interest, but his legs still didn't obey as he ran to Yu Feng road past ten o'clock.

What if…he can meet him?

Without talking or saying hello, just taking a look at him was okay.

When he was in high school, Xie Zhiyao often heard from his friends that if you secretly fell in love with someone, you still had to go to the door of that person's classroom even if you had to go around two to three teaching buildings after class. Xie Zhiyao didn't understand at that time and thought it was very meaningless. He finally understood it now.

He couldn't tell when he became attracted to Gu Chaocheng. It was probably during the alarmingly dangerous few seconds on Yu Feng road; the suspension bridge effect, where danger elicits heart palpitation. He told this to himself.

However, when he walked to the intersection of Yu Feng road, he saw Gu Chaocheng sitting under the dim yellow light in the distance. He wore a straight suit as he looked steadily forward to walk to the other end. Xie Zhiyao's heartbeat abruptly accelerated.

Forgetting about the suspension bridge effect, and forgetting about how there are plenty of fish in the sea, he directly caught up to him. Maybe his footsteps were too heavy, or he was too excited, but Gu Chaocheng suddenly stopped and turned around when he was a few meters away from him.

Xie Zhiyao didn't manage to stop himself, so he ran straight into Gu Chaocheng's chest while staring blankly ahead like this.
