CEFYMA: Chapter 14

You Mian couldn’t clearly see Pei Huaiji’s expression in front of him. He could only vaguely recognize this person by hearing.

Therefore, he didn’t know what type of gaze Pei Huaiji was using to observe his every move with his head down.

In the dark night, You Mian’s expression was a bit dazed and contained a blankness that wasn’t there in the morning.

Pei Huaiji looked at You Mian’s eyes curiously. He also let his wanton eyes fall on the young man by the way.

You Mian gasped slightly in his heart. He thought that this was a really arrogant presence that made him feel threatened even when he couldn’t see the other person.

You Mian slowly raised his hand. He didn’t want to show too much confusion in front of Pei Huaiji. He just blinked a few times before accurately grabbing Pei Huaiji’s outstretched strong arm.

The man’s arm was hot and dry, with a bit of a sea breeze.

Pei Huaiji’s gaze was still locked on him without relenting.

“Chairman Pei.”

You Mian lightly grabbed Pei Huaiji’s arm and raised an eyebrow indifferently.

“I’m not blind, you know. I know that you have been watching me.”

Pei Huaiji pursed his lips and finally looked away.

“The eyesight of deep-sea fish isn’t very good. It is understandable. But fish only have a memory of seven seconds. Your memory is different from ordinary people,” Pei Huaiji suddenly said in a serious tone like he was discussing a plan.

You Mian was walking steadily beside Pei Huaiji. Now he frowned and asked in a puzzled manner, “Fish?”

Pei Huaiji was suddenly silent.

You Mian didn’t know whether to laugh or be angry.

“Does Chairman Pei think I’m like a fish?” You Mian’s vision was obstructed, so his expression became more vivid.

The beautiful boy had no idea how beautiful his eyes were at this moment.

Pei Huaiji stared sideways for two seconds. Then he remembered what You Mian had just said and looked away.

Pei Huaiji didn’t continue this topic with You Mian and instead asked, “Have you never seen the stars?”

You Mian replied casually while thinking about why this road was so long, “I can’t see it.”

In the past, people would comfort You Mian with a regretful expression after asking about this private matter.

It seemed really frustrating to not be able to see the stars.

However, You Mian himself didn’t think so. He was glad that the person walking beside him at this moment was Pei Huaiji.

This man must not be able to express such words of blunt comfort, nor would he show exaggerated regret.

In the next second, Pei Huaiji said, “Eating more carrots will help supplement vitamin A.”

After a short silence, the bonfire in the distance suddenly lit up. The bright light source illuminated the darkness ahead.

Little by little, his vision became clearer.

At the same time, the cameraman following behind him at a distance also turned on the headlight in his hand.

There was a pop.

Everything around him lit up.

You Mian’s uncontrollable smile when he heard Pei Huaiji’s words just now was completely revealed.

The young man’s eyes were curved into a pair of extremely beautiful arcs. The high bridge of his nose blocked a shadow that was flickering. His side face reflected the light of the bonfire, and his eyes were filled with brilliant colors.

Pei Huaiji stared at You Mian and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, “Is it funny?”

You Mian lowered the hand that was holding Pei Huaiji’s arm and took half a step back to open the distance.

The boy raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose. He tilted his head and said with a smirk, “Sorry.”

“In addition, thank you.”

Pei Huaiji was standing on the beach and wrapped in a long black jacket. The intricate patterns on the dark red tie on his chest glowed silver-white under the moonlight.

The man’s overly broad shoulders always carried a silent, oppressive aura.

He looked sideways at You Mian. The cold frost on his face seemed to be blown away by the sea breeze.

The two of them walked toward the bonfire and the soft cushions arranged around them.

The staff members of the show had set up their machines. The burning orange-red light was very beautiful in the camera.

Guan Tong patted the blue cushion beside him and shouted at You Mian, “Honey, sit here!”

The cushions were placed in a circular arc with their backs to the sea.

Yun Guanqing sat on the opposite side, followed by Yan Tingxuan.

You Mian estimated the distance and sat beside Guan Tong.

At this moment, Pei Huaiji had only one choice of seat. He followed You Mian’s movements and sat beside You Mian.

Cushions were different from wooden chairs and benches. Once guests sat here, their posture would be much more relaxed. This was more in line with the tone of the show.

Pei Huaiji was the only one who was different. Even if he sat on the cushion, his back was straight, and his chin was slightly raised. No relaxation could be seen when he crossed his legs lazily. He always maintained terrible self-discipline habits.

Guan Tong saw Pei Huaiji sitting not far away, and his excited voice just now lowered a lot.

Seeing that the guests had all arrived, Hong Sheng stepped forward with his card in his hand and announced the rules of the truth session.

“In tonight’s truth-telling session, each guest will accept three truth-telling tests. This can revolve around the identity and occupation of the guest being questioned, or you can ask questions about other aspects.”

As a popular actor in the entertainment industry, Yun Guanqing was very sensitive to privacy issues.

Yun Guanqing asked, “What if you are asked a question that you don’t want to answer?”

The other guests also looked at Hong Sheng with interest.

He had to give people an opportunity to refuse.

Of course, Hong Sheng also took this into account. He immediately changed the card in his hand and shook it, indicating that he was well-prepared.

“If guests are asked a question they don’t want to answer, they can draw a note from his cylinder and carry out the specified content. This way, they can avoid answering.”

A staff member stood next to Hong Sheng and held a ten centimeter tall glass cylinder. It was filled with white paper like a flower arrangement.

Seeing this, everyone relaxed in their hearts.

Hong Sheng finally said, “If you have no more questions for me, everyone can start asking questions.”

The camera framed the eight guests in front of him.

The sea breeze was blowing his hair. Their hair fluttered with the wind, and their handsome faces gradually warmed up the ambiguous atmosphere.

Guan Tong looked at Yun Guanqing, who was three or four people away from him, and said in an excited and shy manner, “Let’s start with Yun Guanqing.”

Yun Guanqing snorted, and his heroic eyes narrowed slightly.

“I don’t care, but everyone should know who I am. You don’t have to guess my occupation, right?” Yun Guanqing raised an eyebrow in the direction of the camera. It wasn’t known how many fans would scream when it was aired.

Yan Tingxuan sat beside Yun Guanqing and rolled up his sleeves when he heard this. “It is too boring to guess the Best Actor. Why don’t you ask me first?

Yan Tingxuan stood up and recommended himself. The others immediately focused their attention on him.

Bai Lin sat on the blanket with Huo Yanzhi’s coat on his knees. He suddenly raised his hand and said gently, “Then I won’t guess.”

Yan Tingxuan shook his head and smiled helplessly. His expression was familiar and intimate without needing to say anything else.

Guan Tong snorted and said in a strange tone, “It is too simple since all of you know each other. Then we can only guess.”

Guan Tong looked at You Mian and said, “Honey, you can ask one.”

Bai Lin gripped the jacket on his knees, and his eyes changed for a moment.

Bai Lin didn’t understand why You Mian pretended not to know them on the show. He also thought about piercing the paper window in front of the camera and other guests so that You Mian’s lies were exposed in front of everyone.

Then thinking about it carefully, You Mian’s lie was just that they didn’t know each other. This was equivalent to him giving up the identity of the young master of the You family.

The shares of ‘Xiuming’ , the connections and shelters of You Jiyuan and the You family, as well as the mansion and wealth were all his.

It was such a great thing. Bai Li didn’t want to interfere in it. He couldn’t wait for You Mian to never return to the You family again or even disappear from in front of everyone’s eyes.

The light of the bonfire illuminated the people sitting around it. Bai Lin’s hideous expression flashed when he lowered his head, and no one saw it.

Guan Tong was still staring at You Mian while waiting for him to ask a question.

You Mian smiled helplessly at Guan Tong. Then he raised his eyes and looked at Yan Tingxuan in the distance. He asked casually, “In your normal work, do you have more contact with words or with numbers?”

Shen Nanxiao’s eyes lit up when he heard this question.

Guan Tong said, “You are so smart, You Mian. Brother Yan looks like a white-collar worker, so a lot of the options can be ruled out!”

You Mian didn’t want to get involved any longer, so he just said casually, “It is a random guess. It is just luck.”

Yan Tingxuan replied in a hoarse voice, “I have more contact with words.”

Most white-collar elites were engaged in financial venture capital. Once the option of numbers was ruled out, only…

Guan Tong’s eyes lit up, and he immediately raised his hand. “I guessed it! Lawyer! Brother Yan is a lawyer, right?”

Yan Tingxuan put a finger to his temple and said helplessly, “This is too simple.”

Guan Tong held his cheeks and thought for a long time. Then he asked, “The second question. Where did Brother Yan go to college?”

Yan Tingxuan replied, “I went to A College.”

The guests let out cries of excitement.

“Yan Tingxuan is a high-achieving student.” Huo Yanzhi patted Yan Tingxuan’s shoulder.

Shen Nanxiao, who never had a sense of existence, spoke up. “How about guessing the age for the last one?”

Yun Guanqing crossed his arm over his chest and sat aside. He threw out some numbers. “26? 27?”

The guests who were on the lily of the valley side didn’t look young.

Yan Tingxuan shrugged. “I am 26.”

Guan Tong suddenly elongated his tone. “Nanxiao, why did you change the subject? The director obviously said it is a question to seek the truth.”

Shen Nanxiao’s face became slightly red. He turned his head and asked, “Then what do you want to ask?”

Guan Tong was obviously good at enlivening the atmosphere. He immediately waved his hand and said, “The question just now isn’t counted. Ask another one.”

Yan Tingxuan sat by the bonfire and looked very good-tempered. He was recording a show, not participating in a competition. If someone was interested and wanted him to talk more, he wouldn’t avoid it.

Guan Tong thought about it for a long time. Then he suddenly opened his mouth and asked, “What is Brother Yan’s ideal type?”

The expressions of the people around them changed instantly.

Guan Tong looked at Yan Tingxuan after he finished asking. A romance show needed to be more interesting to look good.

Hong Sheng sat behind the camera in the distance. Once he saw this, he couldn’t help giving Guan Tong a thumbs up.

You Mian sat quietly next to Guan Tong. He was neither curious, nor did his emotions fluctuate as he waited for Yan Tingxuan’s answer.

After all, he never had any other thoughts about Yan Tingxuan from beginning to end.

They had just been friends.

Yan Tingxuan raised a hand and rubbed his ear. Then he smiled very handsomely, “Why did you start asking such a straightforward question?”

Guan Tong replied with a smile, “No, you must answer like the director said. Otherwise, pick a small note.

Huo Yanzhi stretched out his hand to grab Yan Tingxuan’s shoulder and sighed, eyes full of wilderness.

“Answer it. Are you shy?” Huo Yanzhi teased.

Yan Tingxuan sighed pretentiously.

“Okay.”

Yan Tingxuan’s gaze inadvertently passed over the group of people in front of him. He finally looked at Bai Lin before his eyes inadvertently fell on You Mian.

“I like…” Yan Tingxuan thought about how to describe Bai Lin. Then for some reason, the scene of him sitting side by side with You Mian in the library quickly crossed his mind.

Yan Tingxuan’s voice tensed.

He had known You Mian for a long time, too long.

This person took up almost half his life growing up.

……

[You will definitely become the best lawyer of Huajiang in the future.]

……

[This lawyer, it is hard to make an appointment with you. Come out and look at my paintings.]

……

[Tingxuan, Dad said that I’m not their biological son and I’m adopted. Do you know about this?]

In the thick night, Yan Tingxuan’s Adam’s apple moved heavily. Once he raised his eyes again, the emotions rolling inside him had returned to calm.

Yan Tingxuan looked affectionate, deliberately acting like a carefree young man. Then amidst everyone’s surprised expressions, he walked to the cylinder placed by the staff member just now and crouched down beside him.

He turned back and smiled. “Hey, I didn’t expect it to be so difficult to answer. I miscalculated.”
