The Villain Just Wants to be a Salted Fish - Chapter 76

The guest room is next to Ye Zexi’s room, and this was also the first time that He Jinyun went to the second floor of Ye Zexi’s house.

Unlike what he had imagined, the decoration of the room was unexpectedly simple and generous.

“Then Teacher He, please rest first, I’ll call you later.” Ye Zexi waved his hand to He Jinyun.

He Jinyun nodded.

When he laid down on the bed, his muscles relaxed instantly. He Jinyun closed his eyes slightly, and a familiar scent came from the soft quilt.

Well, it is the fragrance that Ye Zexi often wears.

He Jinyun’s mouth curved up, and he changed to a more comfortable sleeping position.

*

When the light lit up in the room, Ye Zexi glanced at the time above the tablet.

It’s seven o’clock in the evening, and it’s time to wake He Jinyun up.

Ye Zexi slowly turned off the tablet and began to go upstairs.

He did not know why, when he walked to the door of the guest room, Ye Zexi suddenly became a little nervous.

After hesitating for a long time, Ye Zexi opened the door.

There was no light in the room, only the faint silhouettes of a person could be seen through the dim light coming through the window.

Ye Zexi took a breath, and first called out softly: “Teacher He?”

The person on the bed was motionless.

Ye Zexi thought for a while, turned on the light in the room, and worried that the light was too dazzling, and replaced it with a softer warm yellow light.

As soon as the light was turned on, the room instantly became brighter.

Ye Zexi looked in the direction of the bed, and He Jinyun, who was sleeping, seemed to have noticed the light suddenly turned on, and his eyebrows frowned slightly.

Clearing his throat, Ye Zexi called out again: “Teacher He?”

The person on the bed still didn’t respond.

He Jinyun was lying on his side with his face facing the door. From this angle, half of He Jinyun’s face was buried in the quilt, only the man’s tall nose and closed eyes could be seen. Perhaps because of the light, Ye Zexi felt in a daze that He Jinyun’s fine lines had become much softer at this moment.

There was a lot of novelty in Ye Zexi’s eyes. This was the first time he saw He Jinyun’s sleeping face.

If it weren’t for being impolite to take a sneak shot, Ye Zexi wanted to take out his phone and take a photo of He Jinyun.

Putting away the messy thoughts in his mind, Ye Zexi called out again: “Teacher He, it’s time to get up!”

He Jinyun remained motionless, even breathing more smoothly, as if he was asleep again.

Ye Zexi suddenly felt confused.

Then he would continue to call He Jinyun to get up?

After struggling for a long time, Ye Zexi took two steps closer, ready to call again.

If he still doesn’t wake up this time, he won’t call!

It seemed that He Jinyun didn’t sleep much all night last night, otherwise, how would he explain the faint dark blue under his eyes?

Seeing that He Jinyun hadn’t moved for a while, Ye Zexi was about to raise his hand to pat the quilt, but this time, before his hand touched the quilt, his hand was being held by one hand: “Don’t make trouble.”

He Jinyun’s voice was quite hoarse, with obvious sleepiness.

The warm hand held Ye Zexi’s hand, and with a little bit of strength, Ye Zexi couldn’t break free.

“Don’t make trouble.” He Jinyun said again with a hoarse voice, “Let me sleep for a while…”

The ending sound was low and deep, as if it was stuck to Ye Zexi’s ear, and the tone even had…a hint of coquetry.

The temperature on Ye Zexi’s face suddenly became a little hot, and his body stopped moving.

Being like this, how dare he move?

But, could Teacher He stop holding his hand?

Ye Zexi couldn’t leave even if he wanted to.

The man’s fingers are very slender, the knuckles are well defined, and the nails are round and neatly trimmed. There are tiny calluses around the finger, they feel somewhat rough to the touch.

The temperature of He Jinyun’s body was also continuously transmitted to Ye Zexi through this hand.

Ye Zexi stared at this hand for a long time, and somehow remembered the hand-in-hand search a week ago.

Holding hands?

So now, isn’t this called that he is holding hands with He Jinyun too?

Friends can indeed hold hands, but who can explain to him why his heart is beating so fast at this moment?

Obviously it was just a hand-in-hand between friends!

The heart beating in the chest became more intense, and for a while, it seemed that even the air in the room became thinner, and Ye Zexi’s breathing became a little quicker.

Can’t continue on like this anymore.

Ye Zexi tried to draw his hand away.

This time it was much easier than the previous few times. Ye Zexi almost only moved it slightly, and He Jinyun let go.

As soon as the hand was being let go, Ye Zexi breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time he was not going to call He Jinyun anymore.

Forget it, let Teacher He sleep until he wakes up. As for dinner… it’s not that I can’t order takeaway!

Ye Zexi turned off the light and left the room quietly. The moment the door was slowly closed, Ye Zexi couldn’t hold back his hand and covered his face.

Why is his face so hot!

At the same time, He Jinyun in the room turned over slightly, raised the hand he had just held Ye Zexi for two seconds, and then slowly put his hand on his face.

What did he do?

He Jinyun did not wake up when Ye Zexi patted on the quilt to call him up, so he subconsciously held Ye Zexi’s hand.

But after he held the other’s hand, He Jinyun noticed something wrong.

The boy’s hand was very cold, his skin was delicate, and the smell on his body was also very familiar. It was Ye Zexi.

After realizing this, He Jinyun should have let go.

He Jinyun just didn’t want to let go.

Not only he didn’t want to let go, but even wanted to continue holding on.

Maybe just holding was not enough. Deep down in his heart, he even wanted to pull Ye Zexi to stay with him for a while.

Fortunately, He Jinyun’s mind was still very clear, knowing that he couldn’t do that.

But if someone comes to wake you up, it would be weird if you wake up while holding someone else’s hand for so long!

He Jinyun pinched his eyebrows, a little irritable.

Turning over, following his movements, the familiar smell came up from the quilt and lingered on the tip of his nose.

He Jinyun gradually calmed down.

In fact, if Ye Zexi found it strange this time, it was not necessarily a bad thing.

As long as Ye Zexi asked questions, he could continue to go along with the flow.

The corner of He Jinyun’s mouth curved up. He had been fishing for so long. Was it time to close the net?

Otherwise, what if the fish ran away?

After lying quietly on the bed for almost half an hour, He Jinyun got up and went downstairs.

Hearing the noise from the stairs, Ye Zexi raised his eyes and glanced over, just to meet He Jinyun’s gaze.

A smile appeared at the corner of Ye Zexi’s mouth: “Teacher He is awake?”

He Jinyun’s mouth also curled, and he nodded: “Yeah.”

“It just so happens that I ordered some takeout and it’s arriving soon. Later we can watch “Foodie Journal” while eating.” Ye Zexi said.

He Jinyun frowned: “It seems that I got up late. I was supposed to cook.”

“You were tired, you should’ve taken a good rest, why do you have to worry about dinner? It’s not that we can’t order takeout.” Ye Zexi said.

He Jinyun walked downstairs quickly, sat down beside Ye Zexi, and pretended to be natural: “I heard you call me just now?”

The tip of Ye Zexi’s ears moved slightly, and his eyes watching the TV remained motionless, and he nodded naturally: “Yes, I went up to call you, but—” He dragged his tone, and Ye Zexi turned his head and quickly glanced at He Jinyun, “it was unsuccessful, I think you must have wanted to sleep more, so I just let you sleep some more.”

He Jinyun carefully observed the expression on Ye Zexi’s face and continued: “Well, I was a little tired last night. I vaguely heard you coming in and calling me twice, and then I quickly fell asleep again.”

He slightly emphasized the words “coming in”.

But Ye Zexi didn’t seem to understand, only nodded in agreement: “Yes, you slept very well.”

The two fell silent at the same time.

He Jinyun pursed his lips and glanced at Ye Zexi next to him.

Why don’t you ask?

Ye Zexi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but it was okay.

Since Teacher He slept very well, he shouldn’t remember the fact that he was sleeping while holding his hands on the bed for more than a few minutes.

That’s great, really great!

The atmosphere gradually became silent, and there was only the sound of TV commercials in the living room.

The familiar picture came up, and the commercials of Ye Zexi’s endorsement for Bulgari had even begun to be shown on TV.

Ye Zexi was a little embarrassed in those pictures. Just as he wanted to change the channel, He Jinyun next to him finally spoke: “The director really knows what he’s doing.”

“Huh?” Ye Zexi was taken aback for a moment.

He Jinyun said: “Next up will be “Foodie Journal”, right? To show your commercial first, then followed by other guests, to mobilize the fans to the channel.”

He Jinyun really said this accurately.

In the next few minutes, the TV station began to broadcast the commercials of Ye Zexi, You Jia, and Wei Bei in turn.

Right after Ye Zexi’s advertisement was broadcast for the second time, Ye Zexi frowned tightly and couldn’t help looking at He Jinyun who was aside: “Teacher He, I have a question.”

He Jinyun’s heart jumped, he held onto his breathing as his back straightened slightly.

Is it finally here?

Taking a breath, He Jinyun smiled: “Sure, go ahead.”

Ye Zexi’s eyebrows were still frowning, and he pointed his finger at the TV, and his tone was very puzzled: “Why did they only show advertisements for the three people, but not yours? Teacher He, don’t you have any advertising endorsements?”

He Jinyun: “…”

What was he expecting?

He sighed insignificantly before speaking: “I haven’t accepted an endorsement in the past year.”

“Huh, why?” Ye Zexi asked curiously.

He Jinyun sighed in his heart, I gave you my endorsement, didn’t I? [Note: The Bulgari endorsement contract]

“This year’s schedule is relatively tight. I have been preparing for the movie and have no time.” He Jinyun said with a smile.

“That’s all?” Ye Zexi originally wanted to say something, but before he could speak, the phone rang and the takeout had arrived.

When he got the delivery, the variety show just started airing.

The two started to watch the show while eating the food.

When he finally saw the scene of the two holding hands, He Jinyun couldn’t help but tilt his head and glanced at Ye Zexi next to him.

It happened that Ye Zexi also turned his head to look at He Jinyun, and the two of them met by the eyes again.

Ye Zexi looked frightened and quickly looked away.

He Jinyun’s mouth curved up without leaving a trace.

Watching TV is better than watching through online streaming, there are no comments running on the screen.

But this scene was still imaginable.

He Jinyun suddenly called Ye Zexi: “Zexi?”

Ye Zexi stiffened slightly, but soon he recovered as usual: “What?”

He Jinyun looked at Ye Zexi and spoke in a certain tone: “I think we will definitely have more CP fans after the airing of this episode.”

Ye Zexi raised his eyes and looked at the TV ahead. On the screen, He Jinyun was pulling Ye Zexi’s hand and was running, without letting go.

Ye Zexi’s hand on the side tightened slightly, it was just holding hands, why do you hold it so tightly!
