Chapter 106 Covering the Way
“He asked me to go to the gym with him.” Yan Xun leaned back on the sofa, looking up at He Jingtang standing behind him. “I said my physical fitness was too poor and I needed to work out.”
That's not wrong, He Jingtang thought.
But it seemed very strange that it was said by Ning Xinian, who was not very familiar with Yan Xun.
"Nothing happened between you two when you were recording the show?" He Jingtang asked after thinking for a moment.
Yan Xun thought to himself, it seems that everyone in the group knows that he and Ning Xinian don't get along.
"No."
"It went very smoothly."
"Did Song Baiyuan tell you about that matter?" Yan Xun, now following local custom, addressed Song Baiyuan by his full name.
"I said so."
He Jingtang braced himself against the back of the sofa and flipped over to sit on the other side. "Song Baiyuan suspects it's me."
He snorted coldly, "I think he's just getting old and blind."
It's not impossible, Yan Xun thought, after all, He Jingtang has always been unruly and has more scandals than anyone else in the group.
Perhaps because the commotion in the living room was so lively, He Jinqiu, who shared a room with Yan Xun, also came out of the bedroom.
His hair was a little messy, and he was somewhat surprised to see He Jingtang sitting with Yan Xun.
She nodded to him in greeting, then went to wash up before returning with water still on her face. "Brother He, you're back early?"
"Hmm." He Jingtang propped his head up and looked at He Jinqiu. "Did you sleep well?"
He Jinqiu dried her face with a towel. "It's alright."
He nodded to the two of them, "I'll go in and change my clothes first."
After He Jinqiu returned to her bedroom, He Jingtang finally spoke, "I talked to Song Baiyuan about changing dorm rooms those few days ago."
"He didn't agree."
Yan Xun: "...Huh?"
"You forgot?" He Jingtang didn't seem to care. "Didn't we say before that we'd live together in the dorm?"
"Let He Jinqiu and Mu Yuanming go together."
Yan Xun really didn't know about this.
The guides shared on the forum didn't mention changing dorms, but some people stayed out all night, living in their own apartments.
Whenever He Jingtang wanted to move to a single room, Yan Xun knew exactly why—he was in a relationship.
He just didn't understand why they could switch roommates.
"How are things between you and Mu Yuanming lately?" he asked tentatively, wanting to see if Mu Yuanming had offended He Jingtang, which was why he was considering changing dormitories.
"Haven't we always been like that?" He Jingtang raised an eyebrow. "Silent roommate, mute."
He Jingtang looked at Yan Xun, who was completely unaware of the situation, and sighed inwardly.
He couldn't tell Yan Xun directly that he suspected He Jinqiu's motives were not simple.
He always felt that the way this man looked at Yan Xun was a bit strange, and he even felt that Ning Xinian was not a straight man.
After thinking it over, they decided that it would be safer for the two of them, both straight men, to live together in the dormitory. That's why they suggested to Song Baiyuan that they switch dorms.
Song Baiyuan dismissed the suggestion, thinking he was crazy—after all, He Jingtang hadn't revealed his real reason for wanting to change dorms, only saying that he felt he and Yan Xun were more compatible.
Of course, he said that Song Baiyuan would think he was crazy.
Because everyone knows that He Jinqiu is famously pure and abstinent, and is only one step away from becoming an immortal, how could she possibly have a crush on her teammate?
He Jingtang didn't think so.
So when he saw He Jinqiu come out after changing his clothes, he showed that critical look that a mother-in-law would give her son-in-law, and then snorted loudly.
Yan Xun: ...What is this person humming?
He Jinqiu seemed to be frightened by He Jingtang.
I don't quite understand how I offended him.
However, he still came to Yan Xun's side and asked, "I need to prepare breakfast. What would you like to eat?"
"Why don't you ask me what I want to eat?" He Jingtang interjected.
He Jinqiu was a good-natured man. He looked at He Jingtang and asked, "What would you like to eat?"
"Manchu Han Imperial Feast".
Yan Xun: "..."
He Jinqiu: "..."
"A Manchu Han Imperial Feast, I'll poison you to death!" He Jinqiu thought to himself, then looked at Yan Xun, deliberately showing his injured side. "Yan Xun, what would you like to eat?"
"Don't listen to him, I'll just eat whatever I want." Yan Xun stopped He Jingtang, who was about to speak again. "He's just joking with you."
Looking at the big, clumsy guy being held down by Yan Xun, He Jinqiu suddenly felt a little envious.
He and Yan Xun simply couldn't get along so naturally.
"Then I'll just make something simple."
He then walked toward the kitchen.
After He Jinqiu left, Yan Xun looked at He Jingtang and asked, "Is your relationship that bad?"
He didn't recall any mention on the forum that He Jingtang and He Jinqiu didn't get along—their team was purely superficial, with very ordinary relationships between each member. Because they were so superficial and unfamiliar with each other, there was no question of anyone having a bad relationship with anyone else.
"It's alright," He Jingtang said, propping his chin on his hand. "I hate pretentious people."
Yan Xun recalled He Jinqiu, "She's alright."
"I didn't feel like he was putting on an act."
Because you've been influenced by this vixen! He Jingtang sneered inwardly, wishing he could kneel down and shout to Heaven to distinguish the loyal from the treacherous!
He thought to himself that he would eventually catch He Jinqiu by the tail and let Yan Xun know—
This person has ill intentions!
……
He Jinqiu's simple breakfast is indeed very simple.
Toast, bacon, and scrambled eggs, along with a bowl of hay.
"It's quite a feast," He Jingtang said.
Upon hearing this, Yan Xun stared in shock at He Jingtang, who was munching on a slice of toast—it seemed that this was already quite a lavish breakfast.
"Brother Yanxun, if you don't have any plans today, could you come with me somewhere?" He Jinqiu asked gently.
Yan Xun's hand, which was poking at the scrambled eggs, trembled. "Si Daopu, speak normally."
He simply couldn't stand He Jinqiu's ingratiating way of calling him "Brother Yanxun."
He Jingtang sneered inwardly, thinking that He Jinqiu was playing tricks again. He poked a piece of scrambled egg and put it in his mouth... he almost died from the saltiness!
Perhaps it was because his expression was so pained that Yan Xun noticed his movement, "What's wrong?"
"It's too salty," He Jingtang said.
He Jinqiu looked puzzled. He poked at the scrambled eggs on his plate, took a bite, and said, "I think it's alright?"
"Shouldn't you be poking at what's on my plate?" He Jingtang asked.
He Jinqiu smiled sheepishly, "Sorry, Brother He, I'm a bit of a germaphobe." So he wouldn't eat anything from He Jingtang's plate.
Yan Xun could certainly see through their little exchange, but when he thought that He Jingtang had started it, he decided to pretend he hadn't noticed and just silently picked up his toast and took a bite.
"Where to?" he changed the subject, asking He Jinqiu.
He Jinqiu glanced awkwardly at He Jingtang beside her, seemingly not wanting him to hear.
Upon seeing this, Yan Xun was immediately overjoyed—
Could it be, as the forum guides suggest, that He Jinqiu is planning to have players help her cover for her?
