The Villain Just Wants to be a Salted Fish - Chapter 91

After replying to He Jinyun’s message, Ye Zexi lay in bed for a while, then opened Weibo, ready to read his comments on Weibo yesterday.

But what Ye Zexi didn’t expect was that so many things happened on Weibo in less than ten hours since last night.

What made Ye Zexi even more unexpected was that fans actually recognized He Jinyun’s handwriting on the post-it note with just three words.

But what made Ye Zexi most angry was the clarification on Weibo from his studio.

What do they mean that it was given by a fan!

When Ye Zexi saw the comments on Weibo, he was annoyed and immediately called Gao Shu.

Gao Shu also wanted to ask Ye Zexi about this situation. After all, he told Ye Zexi yesterday that he should not respond to fans, why Ye Zexi sent it to Weibo.

Fortunately, he handled it in time, which didn’t cause much impact.

After chatting with Gao Shu, he noticed that Gao Shu and he are not on the same wavelength at all.

Gao Shu said Ye Zexi should not post on Weibo.

Ye Zexi asked him why the other sent out an explanation.

Gao Shu patiently analyzed with Ye Zexi the possible consequences of doing so.

Ye Zexi was still asking Gao Shu why he had to explain that it was sent by fans.

Gao Shu was stunned and couldn’t help asking: “Then, Young Master, how do you think I should respond better?”

Ye Zexi: “You can’t say it was given by a fan!”

Gao Shu was dumbfounded: “Isn’t this a note from a fan?”

“Who said it was given by a fan?” Ye Zexi said.

Gao Shu was extremely worried now: “Then who gave this to you?”

The air froze for a second.

Gao Shu’s eyes widened: “Young Master, you are in love!”

Although it was a question sentence, it had an affirmative tone.

Ye Zexi suddenly felt a little guilty: “No, no!”

“Who gave this memo to you?” Gao Shu continued to ask, as if he had thought of something, his volume increased, “Could it be that it’s really from Film Emperor He’s team…”

Ye Zexi’s heart suddenly jumped in his chest.

In the next second, he just listened to Gao Shu’s volume gradually lowering–“The memo paper prepared for promoting CP? Then why did you ask me its meaning in the car yesterday, Young Master? The logic doesn’t make sense.”

Ye Zexi had never been so lucky like this time, but fortunately Gao Shu was a straight man of steel!

After a slight exhalation, Ye Zexi said, “It’s okay, it’s not a big problem. Now that everything has been clarified, let it be. I will figure it out myself.”

Gao Shu suddenly became more puzzled: “Huh?”

When he hung up the phone in a daze, Gao Shu really fell into a deep bewilderment.

So what was the purpose of Ye Zexi calling him?

Ye Zexi was not going to explain to Gao Shu, after all, once he explained it, he would inevitably need to explain to Gao Shu who wrote the note.

He couldn’t really tell Gao Shu about him and He Jinyun!

Although it was not like he didn’t want to tell his agent, it was certainly not now!

Thinking of this, Ye Zexi couldn’t help taking out his phone, and looked at Weibo for a while.

Suddenly, he thought of a question. He Jinyun is now in England, so he probably hasn’t seen the hot search!

Realizing this, Ye Zexi almost restrained his hand in deleting Weibo.

Just that now was a bit of a sensitive time. If he really deleted that Weibo post at this time, it would make it look like a guilty conscience.

When the time comes, even if fans don’t want to make a fuss, they will for sure make a fuss.

Then there is no ending to this issue.

If he doesn’t delete Weibo, what should he do if He Jinyun were to see it?!

Ye Zexi was now caught in a dilemma.

For the first time, Ye Zexi regretted that he blindly posted on Weibo.

He clearly sent it to Tang Jing and Wei Lifei, so why did he have to post it on Weibo?

Finally, after thinking twice, Ye Zexi decided to delete Weibo.

But in order to show that it was not so obvious, Ye Zexi deliberately found a pen and paper, re-wrote the message, took a photo, and posted a Weibo, which then he deleted the previous Weibo.

@Ye Zexi: The previous Weibo is a bit inappropriate, but this is more appropriate #picture#.

There were a few words on the white paper:

Ye Zexi: You. [叶泽西：您]

Xigua Ye: Wimp [T/N: playful tone, gotta put it here, for explanation at the end] [西瓜叶：怂] [1]

Seeing this Weibo, fans were instantly dumbfounded:

“What’s this meaning?”

“One person and two people, is Ye Zexi saying that we are not being faithful?”

“I think it is like this. This picture of him just wants to show that we Xigua Ye have more than one person in our hearts, but there is only one person in his heart?”

“Damn, I didn’t expect you to find it out when I hid it so well!”

“A bit keen. But since you have discovered everything, then I will admit it generously! Yes, that’s it! What’s wrong?”

“Ye Zexi, you are already a mature entertainer, everyone is an adult, you should tatictly understand each other!”

“Yes, yes, yes! The grass is always greener on the other side, Xi Xi is jealous? But even if you are jealous, you are not my only baby! It’s just something that can’t be helped.”

“Anyway, I can’t only have you in my heart. Ye Zexi, you should just accept your fate.”

“I may be a little more specific, I have you and Tang Tang in my heart, but nothing else!”

“Yes, you and He Jinyun are also in my heart as a HeXi fan. But if you have to let me only have you in my heart, how could this be possible! Ye Zexi, I advise you to stop daydreaming and wake up ah!”

“Hahahahahahaha, the sisters upstairs are too much! Although, Ye Zexi is not the only one in my heart.”

“Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, which hell gate you guys are from! Be careful or else, you will be blocked!”

“Even if you block me, I still have a second account.”

“Ye Zexi, look at my profile picture.”

“…”

For a time, there were almost all similar comments on Weibo.

In this regard, Ye Zexi said, it doesn’t matter! It doesn’t matter at all!

He won’t be sad when knowing many of his fans have more than one idol, as long as he can find an honest way to delete a Weibo.

This has proved to be a very good method.

Almost less than a minute after Ye Zexi’s previous Weibo was deleted, some fans soon discovered that Ye Zexi had deleted previous Weibo, and they were just a little confused. But when they saw Ye Zexi’s newly published Weibo, the fans were overjoyed instantly.

“He deliberately deleted the last Weibo and reposted it, just to explain this?”

“It’s really you Ye Zexi!”

“Sooner or later I will laugh to death in the comment area.”

“Ye Zexi, you deserved to be the only entertainer that would scold his fans!”

“It’s obvious that the artists and fans are teasing each other!”

“Hhhhhh…”

After the Weibo was deleted, there were almost no complaints from the fans. Ye Zexi looked at the calm comment area and heaved a sigh of relief.

But the fact that fans didn’t notice the abnormality doesn’t mean that others didn’t notice it.

He Jinyun woke up at noon the next day. He was shocked when he saw the time and hurried to the hospital.

When he arrived in the ward, the nurse was feeding Zhuang Lan, and Yu Ye was also there.

He Jinyun breathed a sigh of relief: “Why didn’t you call me to wake me up?”

Yu Ye was about to explain, and Zhuang Lan took the lead and said: “I asked Xiao Yu to not call you. You went to sleep so late last night, so I wanted you to sleep a little longer.”

Yu Ye nodded on the side, which was what he meant.

He Jinyun looked helpless: “I’m here to take care of you…”

“Take care of me, meaning you also have to rest.” Zhuang Lan said, “Besides, I have a caregiver here to take care of me, you don’t have to do anything, you can just come over and chat with me every day.”

“That’s right.” Zhuang Lan told the nurse that she was full and told her to leave first. After the nurse left, she spoke again, “Let me tell you something interesting.”

He Jinyun walked to the bed and sat down, picked up an apple and peeled it, and asked casually, “What’s interesting?”

Zhuang Lan took out her phone, opened Weibo expertly, clicked on a Weibo, which was the number one in her following list, and handed it to He Jinyun: “Look, Zexi is so cute. He deleted the Weibo that he posted yesterday! ”

He Jinyun was taken aback for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curve up: “Delete it? So fast?”

Zhuang Lan pointed to the screen and motioned He Jinyun to look at it: “Not only did he delete it, but to cover it up, he reposted a Weibo.”

He Jinyun put down the apple and clicked on the picture. After a while, he couldn’t help laughing with Zhuang Lan.

“He is so cute!” Zhuang Lan laughed loudly. If she were not worried about the wound opening, she might have laughed louder.

“He must be worried that I might see it.” He Jinyun said with a smile.

“But what he didn’t expect was that you already saw it! And knew of it too.” Zhuang Lan said, “Zexi is so cute, I look forward to meeting him.”

Having said that, Zhuang Lan looked at He Jinyun teasingly.

He Jinyun suddenly felt that the tip of his ears were a little hot, so he returned the phone to Zhuang Lan and continued to peel the apple.

Zhuang Lan continued to stare at him reluctantly.

After a long while, He Jinyun coughed slightly, and said helplessly, “I will try my best.”

Zhuang Lan nodded in satisfaction.

After the apple was peeled, He Jinyun went to rinse it again before handing it to Zhuang Lan.

Zhuang Lan said thanks, took a bite, and said: “Can you make me some stew later tonight?” She hadn’t tasted He Jinyun’s cooking for a long time.

He Jinyun nodded and smiled: “Of course.”

Zhuang Lan did not need to say it, he was planning to buy some ingredients today and would make something for Zhuang Lan. He had laid out the schedule for the next few days, every day he would cook nutritious meals for Zhuang Lan.

The two sat and talked for a while, and He Jinyun suggested that he should go grocery shopping first. Zhuang Lan still needed someone to take care of, so Yu Ye stayed behind.

After He Jinyun left the ward, Yu Ye asked with difficulty: “Um…Although it would be better for me to ask Brother He, I was worried that Brother He would not tell me, so Madam, can you tell me?”

Zhuang Lan’s expression was a little puzzled: “What?”

Yu Ye swallowed nervously, and then said, “Why did Brother He say that Ye Zexi was worried about being seen by him?”

Zhuang Lan was stunned for a second before asking, “Has he not told you?”

Yu Ye shook his head.

Zhuang Lan was even more surprised: “He didn’t notify you of such an important event in advance?”

After briefly telling Yu Ye what happened, Zhuang Lan said: “This is very careless of him! I will tell him later that he must tell his staff if he has something like this in the future.”

Yu Ye nodded repeatedly, it was hard to disagree.

At this moment, He Jinyun, who was being discussed by the two, had already selected the ingredients and returned to Zhuang Lan’s villa.

After processing the ingredients first, He Jinyun opened WeChat and sent a video invitation to Ye Zexi.

The video was quickly connected, Ye Zexi’s familiar face appeared on the screen, and a familiar voice came: “Teacher He, what’s wrong?”

He Jinyun’s deep eyes were curled, and his voice was a little low: “Nothing, I miss you.”2

Notes:

[1] 怂 – for this character, we break it down like this “从” in which is a combination of “人” [meaning people] so you can look at it as more than one person; and “心” which means heart. So you can look at this as “having more than one person in one’s heart”.
