The Villain Just Wants to be a Salted Fish - Chapter 102

“This is…” Wei Bei’s dialect got stuck in the middle of speaking.

He actually subconsciously wanted to ask He Jinyun how he came out of Ye Zexi’s room again? He was about to joke that today the program group did not arrange for them to wake each other up. How come He Jinyun went to call him up again?

But Wei Bei soon reacted. It was a bit too early for He Jinyun to call Ye Zexi up at this time.

They also don’t look like the type that like to get up early for exercise.

So even if He Jinyun wants Ye Zexi to get up, it should be at seven in the morning, but at five in the morning.

And more importantly, Wei Bei realized a very serious problem–He Jinyun seemed to have just woken up.

What made him think so?

First of all, He Jinyun does not look well presented like how he usually is. The man still had sleepy eyes, he was wearing pajamas, and even his hair was a little messy, as if he just woke up not long ago.

Second, the suspicious red mark on He Jinyun’s neck.2

Wei Bei is not married, but has a girlfriend who he has not made public yet. Even if he is not in a sexual relationship, he still knows what that red mark is.

The difference between a kiss mark and a mosquito bite is quite a huge difference, people who are familiar with kiss marks could tell with one glance.

Seeing this scene, the memory of He Jinyun and Ye Zexi holding hands yesterday during the recording, how could Wei Bei not understand what’s going on now?

He was shocked. His eyes widened and “unbelievable” was written all over his face. He stood in the corridor staring at He Jinyun in a daze.

He Jinyun was also a little surprised, he didn’t expect to bump into Wei Bei again when he came out of Ye Zexi’s room.

What happened yesterday was considered to be unintentional? After all, they were recording the show now. If they were to be recorded leaving the same room as yesterday, even if they were to try to reason it out, it would still be hard to believe it.

But to tell He Jinyun and his boyfriend, who have just been together, to sleep in separate beds?

Impossible.

Therefore, it was the result of the scene this morning. He Jinyun adjusted the alarm clock so that he could leave Ye Zexi’s room and go back to his room in advance.

However, he didn’t expect Wei Bei would also get up at this time, and the other happened to see him coming out of Ye Zexi’s room.

After a brief consternation, He Jinyun soon recovered his calmness and was not going to explain. He greeted Wei Bei with a straight face, and then passed by Wei Bei and entered his room.

During this whole process, Wei Bei kept his previous posture, standing still and not moving.

There was only one thought in his head–“The gay guys are by my side!”

Wei Bei was so shocked that he did not even bother about the morning jog. He was hit by such a big shock, when he got to the room, he picked up his phone and was ready to make a call to his girlfriend to talk about it.

After he typed a lot of words in the input field, he suddenly reacted, He Jinyun and Ye Zexi are together? Does anyone else know about it?

Only he knows of such a thing, right?

If he were to tell his girlfriend this, it would seem to be very unprofessional of him, right?

And again, thinking about He Jinyun’s reaction in the morning. He did seem to be surprised at first, but he soon recovered his calmness and didn’t explain much to him.

Thinking this over, isn’t this just like him and his girlfriend’s situation now? Their relationship still had not been made to the public, but if they were to be exposed by others…

Just thinking about it makes me angry!

Taking a deep breath, Wei Bei deleted his long message.1

Alright, he will help He Jinyun and Ye Zexi to keep a secret.

However, he had to keep such a big secret and must not tell it to anyone, yet he still had to pretend like there was nothing and continue to record the show with these two people, only Wei Bei knows how difficult it is.

During the recording process the next day, there were many times Wei Bei had wanted to ask He Jinyun about it, but when he saw Ye Zexi on the side, he had to swallow them all down.

After many times, Wei Bei was quite surprised at his own patient; however, his unusual behavior obviously was being caught on by other people.

During the intermission, Ye Zexi couldn’t help but ask He Jinyun: “Do you think Wei Bei is a bit weird today? Is it possible that he has some special clues?”

He Jinyun glanced at Ye Zexi when he heard these words and asked the staff to go out.

Ye Zexi frowned slightly, his expression was a little confused.

After the staff were all out, He Jinyun said, “He’s acting weird.”

“Huh?” Ye Zexi was puzzled, “you think so too?”

He Jinyun said: “He knows that we are together.”

Ye Zexi looked shocked: “How did he know? Yesterday, he seemed to not…”

“Not yesterday,” He Jinyun interrupted Ye Zexi, “this morning.”

Ye Zexi stared at He Jinyun for two seconds.

He Jinyun looked at him quietly.

After a while, Ye Zexi couldn’t hold back his joy.

“Hahahahahahahahahaha so what’s the point of you getting up early?”

He Jinyun shrugged helplessly, and also smiled with a headache: “Can’t be helped, who would have thought of such a coincidence?”

“So, do you want to continue waking up early to return to your room?” Ye Zexi asked with a smile.

He Jinyun shook his head: “Guess not.”

Ye Zexi raised his eyebrows: “Are you not afraid of being found out?”

He Jinyun shrugged: “After all, everyone who should know already knows.”

Now Ye Zexi was surprised: “What do you mean?”

He Jinyun said: “You Jia already knows.”

Ye Zexi really didn’t expect: “You Jia can see it too? When did she see it?”

Before He Jinyun could speak, Ye Zexi said again: “It cannot be yesterday, right?”

He Jinyun nodded: “She must have noticed it long ago, but she just had her confirmation yesterday.”

At this point, Ye Zexi was even more shocked: “Long before?”

He Jinyun sighed lightly and looked at Ye Zexi with a smile.

Gradually, Ye Zexi’s face turned red.

He was so slow before! You Jia actually knew it earlier than him!

“Then…ahem.” With a light cough, Ye Zexi defended himself, “but you cannot blame me, you were not being clear in your intention.”

He Jinyun smiled: “If I were to make it a bit more obvious, would you still notice it?”

Ye Zexi took it for granted: “Of course…”

Before Ye Zexi could finish speaking, He Jinyun leaned forward and blocked the remaining words in Ye Zexi’s mouth.

At the same time, Wei Bei’s Lounge.

You Jia knocked on the door, and when Wei Bei said to come in, she opened the door and walked in. As soon as she entered, she opened the door and asked, “What’s wrong with you today?”

Wei Bei suddenly became stiff and his complexion was a little ugly, but he pretended to be confused and said, “What’s wrong?”

You Jia stared at him.

For a moment, Wei Bei looked away with a guilty conscience.

You Jia was thoughtful, and smiled after a long pause and said, “So let me guess? Did you find out about some secret? And today you were staring at either He Jinyun or Ye Zexi, with this I can be sure that you have discovered the secret of the two of them, right?”

“No, no, no!” Wei Bei denied without thinking. “Who told you, don’t blindly guess things every day!”

Seeing Wei Bei’s apparent anxious appearance, You Jia sighed, sat down across from Wei Bei, and sighed helplessly: “Forget it, no need to hide it, do you also know that they are together?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Wei Bei was completely dumbfounded, and turned his head to look at You Jia dumbfounded: “How did you know?”

You Jia touched her chin with her right hand, twitched her lips, and raised her eyebrows: “Don’t look down on a woman’s intuition, but you don’t have to be so nervous. They probably didn’t want to hide it either. There are few people in the program group who know about it, but none of them are talking about it.”

Wei Bei was even more shocked, and for a while he forgot to close his open mouth: “That, that…”

“That what?” You Jia said, “I just came here to remind you that you were being too obvious. Although He Jinyun and Ye Zexi don’t want to hide it, at least they don’t want to make it public now. If you continue to act strangely around them, it will cause them trouble.”

Wei Bei defended himself: “I was just too surprised, and…” Thinking of how hard he tried to act normal this morning, Wei Bei felt so much more relaxed now, “and here I thought I’m the only one who noticed it!”

You Jia understood what he meant: “So you held back all morning?”

Wei Bei nodded.

Then he was being ridiculed by You Jia mercilessly.

Wei Bei smiled bitterly, can they really blame him for this?

Can they?

Although he knew the sexual orientation of He Jinyun and Ye Zexi early on, how could he think that both of them could be flirting with each other on the show?

Thanks to You Jia’s remarks, the boulder in Wei Bei dropped, and he became more natural when shooting in the afternoon.

But Wei Bei still could not help himself from eyeing Ye Zexi and He Jinyun throughout the recording.

So on the next day of filming, Wei Bei began to whisper to You Jia frequently.

The content mainly revolving around “He Jinyun just held hands with Ye Zexi again”, “The two of them were too close just now, right”, “I want to team up with them again, but I don’t want to be a third wheel”, on and on, a never ending topic.

As for Ye Zexi and He Jinyun, since it seemed that everyone had noticed their relationship but not saying anything. There was no point in hiding it. In some filming interactions, the two had also become more intimate.

Some action was caught by Gao Shu, and the agent couldn’t help but remind Ye Zexi: “Young Master, aren’t you too close to Film Emperor He?”

Ye Zexi’s eyebrows jumped, and it was only then that he remembered that he hadn’t told Gao Shu about his relationship yet.

After thinking for a second, Ye Zexi was about to speak, but Gao Shu was quicker than him, “Of course it’s okay to get closer, it’s okay, you don’t have to worry about me.”

Ye Zexi: “…”

Looking at Gao Shu’s back, Ye Zexi fell into silence.

So should he say it or not?

One week recording ended in the blink of an eye. After all, the recording of this episode was the final recording. On the last day, the program group had prepared a small gift for every guest.

Same as the previous award, it is a gold ring with the show team logo. On the inner circle of the ring, the name of each guest is printed.

After Ye Zexi got the ring, he was a little bit relieved.

He Jinyun on the side suddenly stretched out his hand towards Ye Zexi, with a smile in his tone: “Let’s exchange.”

Ye Zexi raised his eyes to meet him.

The man’s eyes were deep and bright, and Ye Zexi trembled and stretched out his hand toward him as if being bewitched.

The ring with He Jinyun’s name was firmly put on Ye Zexi’s middle finger.

Similarly, the ring belonging to Ye Zexi was also worn on He Jinyun’s finger.2

The opposite cameraman silently filmed the scene.
