He Yiming didn’t get a response from Le Han, and he didn’t care. With a smile on his lips, he chatted with several other people.

Le Han put down his cards and said in a low voice, “I’ll go to the bathroom, you can play.”

When He Yiming saw him turn and walk away, he frowned slightly. However, he was held back by a group of people and couldn’t walk away for the time being. He could only look at Le Han again and turn back absent-mindedly.

Le Han went down to the first floor and went to the toilet. After he finished, he found a seat downstairs and played with his mobile phone.

He thought about leaving directly, but it didn’t seem very good to leave just when He Yiming arrived.

Le Han was upset. He aimlessly opened Weibo and scrolled through it, then opened Taobao to check the shopping cart. When he finally returned to the home screen, his eyes fell on the app icon of Warring States.

Le Han’s heart tightened.

Although he felt that the relationship between him and Zhan Ge was over, it wasn’t good to just hide and not go online… No matter what Zhan Ge was like now, Le Han didn’t want to give up his account because of this kind of thing. Deep down in his heart, he also wanted to give himself a result. He didn’t want to make a conclusion about the matter so inexplicably.

But when he thought about having to face Zhan Ge, Le Han felt nervous again.

Yesterday, he had lost his temper. When he lost his temper, he wasn’t afraid of anything, but now that Le Han thought about it, he was worried.

…Even if they got along well with each other, this kind of thing was bound to happen soon, ah !

Le Han pursed his lips, tangled for a long time, took a deep breath, and tapped the screen gently.

The app opened instantly, and the initial interface of Warring States appeared.

Le Han saw the mobile version of Gua Gua appear in the familiar hut, where there was no one but him. In the menu bar on the right, there was a small red number on the mail icon. It indicated that he had several unread messages.

Just by intuition, Le Han felt that some must be messages from Zhan Ge, but he didn’t know whether it was a breakup declaration or…

Before Le Han had time to look at it, a shadow covered him.

He raised his head and saw He Yiming. Reflexively, he stood up and took two steps back.

He Yiming was obviously displeased by his subconscious reaction.

It was hard to find Le Han, and he didn’t want to beat around the bush anymore. He Yiming looked at Le Han and said straightforwardly, “The last time we met, you should have understood what I meant.”

Le Han said bluntly, “Then I’ve already expressed what I mean too.”

The word ‘impossible’ had already shown his attitude.

He Yiming said, “I don’t understand.”

“What’s so hard to understand!” Le Han paid attention to the back; no one at their table had noticed them yet.

He Yiming followed and looked at them. Le Han’s fear that others might find out about them made him clench his hands. He calmed down and squinted. “I know you’ve always liked me.”

When he heard this sentence, Le Han was almost angry, and his tone became heavy. “I liked you, but I didn’t like you all the time! When you were dating Yu Manman, I stopped liking you! Not to mention—”

“Not to mention what?” He Yiming sensed that the answer might be why Le Han’s attitude had changed, and he keenly asked.

But Le Han didn’t continue speaking.

Regarding the things between him and Yu Manman and what He Yiming had done for him, these things were too complicated to talk about. Le Han felt that He Yiming’s character didn’t necessarily make him feel the same.

Did that ‘like’ really make sense?

Anyway, it was no longer possible for him to be with He Yiming.

Seeing that Le Han was unwilling to speak, He Yiming’s eyes twinkled.

In his opinion, as long as they could communicate, there was no problem that couldn’t be solved.

But when one party decided to stop communicating, things might really end up at a dead end.

It was the first time that He Yiming liked a person, and it was also the first time he intended to communicate with others. Previously, he had prepared for this ‘first time’ for a long time, and after calculating for so long, he didn’t allow it to fail so inexplicably.

He reached out and clasped Le Han’s shoulders. Regardless of Le Han’s resistance, he approached his ear and whispered, “Le Han, I have given you enough time to calm down. I don’t know what problem you have with me, but it can only be solved if you speak out.”

When Le Han heard this, he stared at He Yiming and said, “What problem do I have? Everything you are doing now is the problem!”

He Yiming was startled.

Le Han pushed him away and clenched his fists. While restraining himself, he angrily said, “Your current attitude and what you’re saying are all problems!”

He was opinionated!

Completely self-righteous!

He Yiming, who had never been so disapproved of, said with his lips stretched taut, “I still don’t understand.”

“Even if I were to tell you straightforwardly, you wouldn’t necessarily understand.” Le Han shook his head. “When you understand that what I meant by ‘impossible’ is serious, you will realize why I hate you now. It’s really impossible between you and me.”

When Le Han said these words, He Yiming frowned and listened, trying to understand, but in the end, the word ‘hate’ made his face change slightly.

Le Han felt out of breath by staying in this place.

He didn’t even bother to say goodbye to the others. He turned around and walked straight out of the store.

But he didn’t expect that when he was about to step down the stairs, he was dragged back.

The other party exerted so much force that he almost pulled Le Han directly into his arms.

Le Han was startled, and when he looked up, he saw that He Yiming’s eyes were dark and furious.

“Hate?” He Yiming gasped slightly, and breathing irregularly, he asked, “Do you hate me?”

Le Han was a little frightened, but he coolly said, “Yes, I hate you. So it’s impossible for me to talk to you.”

He Yiming emphasized, “But I like you!”

Le Han was stunned. Looking at He Yiming, he said calmly, “You liking me has nothing to do with me.”

He Yiming’s expression broke.

He looked at Le Han incredulously, as if he didn’t expect to hear such words from Le Han’s mouth.

At this moment, Le Han suddenly felt that He Yiming was also very distressed.

This man has never failed, has he?

It was true that Le Han didn’t want to compare feelings to a challenge, but it might be the case for He Yiming.

After a period of exploration, observation, and planning, this man thought he had obtained enough evidence and assurance to support his actions. However, he had never considered that feelings were different from problem-solving. Le Han could only feel chill when he thought of He Yiming dealing with emotions as if he was solving a difficult problem.

He sighed.

His voice eased down. “Senior, let go.”

On the other side, Qi Xun didn’t receive a reply from Gua Gua, so he didn’t have the heart to do business.

He had been absent-minded for most of the day, and he swiped the game mobile terminal from time to time. When a system alert was prompted, Qi Xun took a look at his friends’ list and saw that Gua Gua was online.

Qi Xun quickly put on his helmet and immediately went to the hut in Zhao after he went online. As expected, he saw the other party in the thatched cottage.

Qi Xun walked over and said, “Gua Gua?”

The young man sat by the bed with a blank face.

Qi Xun half-knelt down with a trace of caution and asked, “Gua Gua, did you see the messages I left you? It was me who was wrong last night. Don’t be angry. I’ll apologize to you.”

Seeing that the youth didn’t respond, Qi Xun said in a hoarse voice, “I’ve thought about it. It’s nothing to be easily moved; if you were not like this… I’m afraid we wouldn’t get along in this way so quickly.”

The young man still sat there with no expression on his face.

Qi Xun finally felt something wrong. Was Gua Gua on the mobile app? And it seemed he wasn’t manipulating his character? Did he walk away?

Generally speaking, if someone used a helmet to go online, no matter how people tried to pretend to be motionless, they wouldn’t stop breathing.

Qi Xun was alert. He thought that Gua Gua seemed to have walked away, but in fact, he was watching his performance?

It should be said that the latter was more likely? After all, he had been staring at the game notifications, and Gua Gua just went online! How could anyone walk away after just logging in?

So Qi Xun, who thought he had discovered something, kept talking to show his sincerity.

“I went too far last night. In fact, it’s not that I didn’t believe what you said. I just pretended…” Of course, I don’t dare to pretend now.

“I thought about it and felt that my reaction was too big, although it was because I like you…” He paused at the end.

“Gua Gua, I’ve always thought you were quite cute. Because I like you so much, I was jealous.” His tone was solemn.

“Don’t be angry, okay?” Qi Xun said with some flattery.

“Gua Gua, respond to me…”

…

For the first time in his life, Qi Xun talked to himself for more than ten minutes.

After noticing that he had been talking for almost twenty minutes, he felt thirsty. Seeing that Gua Gua was still expressionless, Qi Xun’s heart became unsettled.

Was he not there? Was he still angry?

Qi Xun was a little uncertain, and he didn’t know what to think. He suddenly had an idea. Right now, he might as well take this opportunity to tell Gua Gua his main account? There should be sincerity, right? And just as he thought before, maybe Gua Gua was a fan of Mu Yi Cheng Zhou. Once he knew that he was him, would he forgive him directly?

The more Qi Xun thought about it, the more he felt that he might as well give it a try. Of course, it was better to test Gua Gua’s attitude towards Mu Yi Cheng Zhou in a polite way—

So Qi Xun coughed lightly and pretended to ask, “Say, Gua Gua, do you like Mu Yi Cheng Zhou?”

In reality, Le Han thought that the conversation between him and He Yiming should stop there and couldn’t go on.

Seeing that He Yiming was looking at him without speaking, Le Han wanted to pull his hand back, but He Yiming suddenly increased his strength and pinched him.

“You—” He looked up in shock.

He Yiming stared at him and coldly asked, “Did you like your roommate’s friend last time?”

Le Han didn’t react at once. “What—”

He Yiming gritted his teeth and said, “Qi Xun.”

He had a good memory, and he naturally remembered the man’s name.

Le Han was stunned silly. How could the other suddenly mention a person he had only met a few times?

When he came back to his senses and understood what He Yiming meant, Le Han’s face became cold. “What do you mean?”

He Yiming just felt a fire in his heart and said word by word, “You easily fall in love with others, and it’s normal for you to shift your goal so quickly… Yes, otherwise, why would you have such an attitude?”

He Yiming sneered. “I thought I was different to you. I didn’t expect that, Le Han, to you, I’m no different from other ordinary men.”

Le Han was stunned for a moment. Then he heard a ‘boom’ in his head, indicating that something broke.

He took a deep breath and yanked away the hand firmly clasped by He Yiming. Then, to He Yiming’s unprepared face, Le Han slammed his fist and, under the exclamation of several people in the distance, knocked him to the ground!

Le Han was going crazy.

What was the matter with these people?

They knew each other in private, didn’t they?

Did they make an appointment to come and disgust him in the past two days?!

His expression twisted, and while twisting his fists, he walked towards He Yiming. People from every side hurriedly came over to watch the fight. The people in the board game shop noticed the ruckus and rushed out to hold them back.

He Yiming was a little dumbfounded when he was beaten. He lay down on the ground and said furiously, “Le Han!”

“Come to me again, and I’ll beat you up again!” Le Han had never done this before. At this moment, he had lost all rationality and wanted to step on his feet again.

It took a few minutes for the matter to settle down.

People from the Public Policy Department walked up to Le Han and accused, “Le Han, how can you do something to Chairman He? What can’t be discussed about?”

Le Han raised his eyes, and the fierce look in his eyes shut the other party.

At last, Le Han showed a middle finger to He Yiming, shook off the person holding him, turned around, and left angrily.

After walking a few steps, Le Han noticed that his mobile phone had been vibrating. When he took it out, he saw the notification that Zhan Ge had sent him several messages.

The information seemed to be converted from voice to text. When one of the two sides of the conversation in the game used a helmet to go online, and the other was on a mobile phone, the system would automatically turn on the voice conversation function. Of course, it was inevitable that some speech recognition was unclear, and the text messages became nonsense.

Le Han’s brain was still buzzing. At first glance, it seemed that there were several pieces of nonsense, and he wasn’t in the mood to read them. He only saw the last message, “Gua Gua, do you like Mu Yi Cheng Zhou?”

Le Han was out of breath; Mu Yi Cheng Zhou? What Mu Yi Cheng Zhou?

So he wrote a short message, “I don’t like it!!!!”

Although there were only four words, the exclamation marks were quite meaningful.

In the game, Qi Xun was confused when he saw the holographic dialog box in front of him.

Immediately afterward, the Gua Gua in front of him disappeared.

Qi Xun: “…”

He… he hasn’t cooled down???
