Chapter 37 part1
After entering, the group of little zeroes immediately gathered around Ning Xiao and also looked at Qi Le who was nearby. They had all sorts of expressions on their faces but they didn’t say anything. Instead, they talked to Ning Xiao with a smile and asked why the text they received only asked them to come here. They originally thought that he was bored and wanted to have fun but now it seems that it wasn’t the case.
Ning Xiao paid no attention to them at all. He simply explained, “If you’re interested in Gu Bai, you can try. If you aren’t, then forget about it.”
They found it hard to believe, but looking at Gu Bai who was chatting with someone, they had to believe that was the case. Ning Xiao and Gu Bai were two different types. The former was suitable for a one-night stand, while the latter could eventually be a long-term partner. However, Gu Bai had always been uninterested in anyone besides the person he cared about. As time passed, they were unhappy, but now, they had a chance. They looked at Qi Le suspiciously, “Did he really ask him to introduce people to him?”
Qi Le sized them up and silently pondered how likely was he to be beaten if he said that they weren’t suitable for Gu Bai at all and that they should all leave. He couldn’t help pursing his lips, “That’s what happened...” Before he finished speaking, everyone gathered around him at once, trying to get close. Qi Le was dumbstruck.
Ning Xiao pulled him out of the crowd and reminded them, “It’s all up to yourselves to grab this opportunity.”
They felt that what he said was right and immediately rushed over.
The scene of a group of evil demons fighting for Tang Seng’s flesh played in Qi Le’s head. He fell silent at once.
Gu Bai looked at the additional people who had popped out of nowhere and felt a headache coming on. Had they all been invited by Xiao Le? He looked over there through the gap in the crowd and found that Qi Le was looking at this side and seemed to be observing the results. He couldn’t help sighing in his heart, knowing that he wasn’t happy and could only be resigned to it.
Qi Le saw that Gu Bai’s figure was about to be blocked out, so he moved left and right but found that he couldn’t see him after all. He hesitated whether to go over or not but was pulled to the high chair at the bar. Ning Xiao ordered two glasses of wine and pushed one to him. “Let them chat. Maybe he’ll find someone soon.”
Qi Le sat down and said, “That’s impossible. He doesn’t like them.”
Ning Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and didn’t speak. He wasn’t a fool. Naturally, he could see that there was a problem but he was in a good mood. After all, he finally had the opportunity to talk to Qi Le. If things turned out well, he wanted to develop the relationship further.
Baby Face looked at the other side and impassively reminded him, “They have all sat down and look very happy.”
Qi Le couldn’t help looking back, silently watching as his attention was once again attracted by that scene.
Baby Face asked, “Xiaoyuan ge, I think they’re getting along pretty well. Will you still continue throwing a tantrum?
Qi Le, “......”
Ning Xiao coldly swept his gaze across him, “Shut up.”
Qi Le subconsciously looked at Baby Face and found that he was still expressionless. The rims of his eyes weren’t red like they always were. Then, Baby Face asked slowly, “Why should Laozi listen to you?”
Ning Xiao, “...”
Qi Le looked at them, threw Gu Bai aside for a while, slowly scooted over and asked in a low voice, “Lil’ bro, um.... I still don’t know your name. I might as well just call you Little Baby from now on.”
Baby Face was silent for a moment before he nodded, not objecting to the nickname at all.
“Little Baby,” Qi Le looked at him, “What are you thinking? Aren’t you afraid that he’ll find you more annoying if you behave like this?”
“Ge said that the first task right now is not to let Xiao have the chance to get together with you and to try all means possible to get you and Gu Bai together.” Little Baby replied in a low voice, “As for the future, I will plan according to the situation. Ge also said that if it doesn’t work, I will implement the second plan.”
Qi Le was curious, “What’s that?”
Little Baby looked serious, “Since he doesn’t love me anyway, I might as well let him hate me.”
“...” Qi Le said, “Keep it up.”
Little Baby reached out and clenched his fist. “I will.”
Qi Le, “......”
Qi Le look at the two of them and simply changed to a different spot. He went to his older brother and sat beside him, continuing to observe the situation over there. Gu Bai’s expression remained the same. Until now, he still didn’t look impatient. The group of zeros were more and more excited. Qi Le pouted.
Ye Shuichuan stared at him anxiously, “Xiaoyuan, have you really gone silly? What the hell are you thinking?”
“He pissed me off so I wanted to find a group of people to disgust him,” Qi Le gritted his teeth. “Anyways, he agreed to it.”
Ye Shuichuan stared again at him in disbelief, “Aren’t you afraid that he sees someone he likes?”
“That won’t happen. They’re not suitable or good enough for him.” Qi Le looked over there and felt that they all looked too slutty. He couldn’t help but ask, “Ge, do you know anyone else? I want to switch them."
Ye Shuichuan paused, then ignored his words and asked curiously, “If you were serious about introducing him to someone, who do you think is suitable?”
Qi Le walked around and looked carefully. “There’s no one suitable.”
Ye Shuichuan’s eyes shone a little brighter as he asked tentatively, “What about you? Are you suitable?”
Qi Le pondered about it and thought that he was the one that Erquan liked, so of course he was suitable. He nodded.
Ye Shuichuan’s eyes shone even brighter, “That is to say, no one else is suitable, only you?”
Qi Le nodded again. “Why?”
Ye Shuichuan asked, “Xiaoyuan, haven’t you found a problem with that?”
Qi Le thought for a moment and was at a loss. “No, what’s wrong?”
Ye Shuichuan looked at him and thought that although Qi Le had finally gained a personality, his emotional intelligence had suddenly disappeared. He touched his head and said meaningfully, “It’s okay, think about it slowly. Don’t worry. I’m going to the restroom.”
Qi Le watched him walk away in confusion. He tossed and turned the sentence over and over again. After the tenth time, his expression gradually changed. Fuck, why did that sentence sound so ambiguous?
Seeing Ye Shuichuan leave, Ning Xiao went over to sit down beside him and asked, “How’s your revision coming along?”
Qi Le snapped out of his daze and replied, “It’s ok.”
Ning Xiao nodded and tried to chat with him although there wasn’t much to say. Qi Le listened quietly and occasionally replied a few words. Most of the time, he was observing a certain someone. Then, he saw the smile on that person’s face and felt that he hadn’t succeeded in disgusting or annoying Gu Bai at all. The more he looked at him, the more uncomfortable he felt. He thought to himself, keep on pretending then, Laozi is done playing!
Ning Xiao glanced at him and asked, “Where are you going?”
Qi Le walked towards the entrance. “I’m going back to study.”
Ning Xiao followed after him and suggested, “Why don’t I go with you and help you?”
“No need!”
Gu Bai had been annoyed with the group of zeros for a while now, but he didn’t see any reaction from Xiao Le. Instead, he saw Ning Xiao and him sitting together. His patience had finally reached the limit. He was about to give up his test when he saw Xiao Le leaving. He was slightly shocked and quickly dismissed the group. He immediately walked over and asked, “Where are you going?”
“I’m going back. I’ve had enough fun.”
Gu Bai looked at him and saw that he was in a bad mood which gave him more hope. But he knew that if he showed a smug expression right now, he was definitely seeking death. He sighed knowingly and rubbed his temples. “That’s perfect. I want to go back too. I’m tired.”
