Chapter 6 Cheated On by the Scum for the 101st Time 6

Chapter 6: The 101st Time the Scum Gong Cheated 6

After changing his clothes, Yan Bai curled up obediently on the sofa. Since he'd slept so much the past three days, he couldn't fall asleep now and felt a bit bored.

"Ye Chen, pass me my phone."

Ye Chen passed him the phone from the dining table.

Yan Bai hadn't forgotten the four men who had attacked Ye Chen earlier. Who was trying to frame the original host, without even knowing about the Nine-Tailed Fox?

Yan Bai hadn't stopped them to question them at the time, but that didn't mean he would let it go easily.

Thinking they could scheme against him and get away scot-free? In their dreams!

He hacked into the hotel's network, pulled up the surveillance footage, and quickly tracked down the four men.

Using facial recognition technology, he identified the leader among them.

After tracking down his phone number, Yan Bai hacked into his phone and found some interesting stuff.

He sneered. What kind of shady friends did the original host have? Not a single one was reliable!

Having figured things out, he just needed to wait for the right opportunity.

Seeing what Yan Bai had uncovered on the phone, the Nine-Tailed Fox exclaimed in astonishment,

"Isn't this the protagonist shou, Lin Yizhou? Isn't he supposed to be a kind and considerate little white flower? How could he hire thugs to deal with you?"

Yan Bai sneered,

"The protagonists chosen by the Heavenly Dao are mostly this kind of trash. I'm used to it by now."

The Nine-Tailed Fox was also speechless for a moment, recalling the previous three thousand small worlds—it really did seem to be the case!

Yan Bai then found a soap opera to watch.

Ye Chen, his ears slightly red, went to wash his hands, but his thoughts kept drifting into inappropriate territory.

He finished the half-bowl of rice Yan Bai had left, ate all the remaining dishes, cleaned up, and took it out to the dumpster downstairs.

Ye Chen changed into his pajamas and got into bed.

The bed wasn't big, and sleeping with two grown men was a bit cramped, especially since Ye Chen was tall and broad-shouldered.

Yan Bai's phone was still playing the soap opera, but he had already fallen asleep.

Ye Chen gently turned off the video for him when suddenly a message notification popped up on the screen.

The words "Brother He" stung Ye Chen's eyes.

He opened the message, and not only did his eyes hurt, but his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys ached too.

Yan Bai had set the chat interface with He Zixuan to an intimate photo of the two of them, cheek to cheek, surrounded by countless hearts and flowers.

It looked utterly disgusting!

Ye Chen was so angry he almost couldn't catch his breath.

He Zixuan:

"Bai, don't be angry. That day when you saw me with Lin Yizhou, he was the one who initiated it."

"He's your friend, so I couldn't just push him away. We only hugged, really, nothing else happened."

"You're the one I love most!"

"I've prepared a gift for you. I'll surprise you when I'm back from vacation."

"Love you?!"

Ye Chen's blood boiled, and he resisted the urge to delete the messages for a long time, but he did change that eye-searing chat background image.

After searching online for a while, he finally found a suitable picture to replace it, then closed the phone screen and placed it on the nightstand.

However, he tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep well.

Yan Bai was completely unaware of all this. He slept soundly through the night and finally felt revived, with most of his body no longer in pain.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt a cool, comfortable sensation below, though it also felt a bit exposed and lacking in security.

Ye Chen was beside him, squeezing out a tube of ointment.

Yan Bai's pupils suddenly dilated. Seeing he was awake, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.

"This ointment needs to be applied twice a day. There's one more application tonight."

Yan Bai snatched the ointment, pulled up his pants, and said,

"I'll apply it myself from now on!"

Ye Chen looked quite regretful.

"Alright. Since you're awake, get up and eat."

Only then did Yan Bai notice the aroma of fried eggs in the room. He hadn't eaten much yesterday and was genuinely hungry.

Lured by the smell, he got out of bed much more briskly.

On the table were toast and fried eggs, along with a cup of hot milk, steaming gently.

On the other side were plain congee, steamed buns, and pickles—all exuding a warm, homely atmosphere.

Yan Bai didn't stand on ceremony at all and sat down to eat.

Ye Chen glanced at the phone on the nightstand and kindly placed it beside Yan Bai's hand.

He also sat down next to him, stirring a bowl of plain congee but not rushing to eat.

Yan Bai looked at his hands with a complicated expression and finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Did you wash your hands?"

"It doesn't bother me, Bai."

Yan Bai shuddered.

"Don't call me that. It's too mushy!"

Ye Chen's expression immediately darkened, and his voice grew low.

"Is it that I can't call you that, or no one can?"

"Obviously, no one can."

Ye Chen lowered his head and was silent for a long time.

Yan Bai noticed that from then on, although Ye Chen still looked after him meticulously, he no longer made eye contact or spoke to him.

Yan Bai complained to the Nine-Tailed Fox,

"What's he so mad about all of a sudden?"

The Nine-Tailed Fox had also gone on a date last night. Mu Yuyun had worn him out, so he was pretty out of it.

He just perfunctorily brushed off Yan Bai, wanting to get back to sleep ASAP,

"Don't try to understand a man's mind, you'll never figure it out no matter how you try..."

Yan Bai thought the melody was way too catchy.

It wasn't until noon, when Yan Bai picked up his phone to play games, that he saw He Zixuan's texts and realized the reason for Ye Chen's bad mood.

Looking at the cemetery photo Ye Chen set as their chat background, Yan Bai was speechless and couldn't help complaining to the Nine-Tailed Fox,

"How childish can this guy be, going and changing my background!

What's with the cemetery? Does he want to send me to my death?"

The half-awake Nine-Tailed Fox forced himself to focus and replied,

"Could it be a metaphor for your love with the male lead being dead?"

Yan Bai curled his lips,

"This guy has quite a few petty thoughts!

No wonder he was acting so weird all morning. It turns out he saw He Zixuan calling me Bai, but I didn't let him call me that, so he got even more upset.

I didn't expect him to be so petty.

Hmph! Given what he did to me before, if I don't make him call me 'daddy,' I won't be surnamed Yan!"

Nine-Tailed Fox!?

"Demon Lord, usually such flags end up backfiring..."
