Yu Tang's memory ends at getting into the taxi. It now appears that Wei Mosheng took him home, changed his clothes, and made him a hangover soup.
He sighed at how sensible his child was, got out of bed and went to the bathroom. When he looked up and saw his slightly swollen lips, question marks started popping into his head again.
"Am I suffering from internal heat?"
Your lips are swollen from being kissed so much.
The system's voice suddenly popped up, startling Yu Tang.
Yu Tang: It's swollen from the kiss? Who kissed you?
"My dear host! Who else do you think could it be besides Wei Mosheng?" The system was speechless at its slow-witted host. It was already considered one of the most oblivious systems when it came to emotions.
Unexpectedly, Yu Tang, an award-winning actor, is skilled in every other area, but when it comes to emotions, it's as if someone has ripped that string out of him, leaving him completely clueless.
Yu Tang: Damn, he ambushed me? That's unsportsmanlike conduct!
"He's been holding it in for so long!"
The system said: "Your favorability rating gloriously rose to 80 last night. I think if he hadn't known to restrain himself from abruptly stopping, you wouldn't just be suffering from a sore mouth today!"
Yu Tang: Tongtong, can you please stop having such filthy thoughts?
[It's not that I'm despicable, it's just how the favorability rating is displayed. Besides, villains all have very strange tempers. They have an almost obsessive possessiveness towards the people they love. It must have been what happened with Wei Chen yesterday that provoked him, making him unable to resist targeting you.]
The system, looking helpless, replied: "So, host, you should really think about what you'll do if he confesses his feelings to you."
After all, refusing would likely lower their favorability rating, making all previous efforts futile.
Yu Tang remained silent.
When the system initially bound him to the character, it only instructed him to play the role of Yu Tang well, complete the main quests, and max out the villain's favorability. It didn't emphasize that increasing favorability required falling in love with the villain.
So he's in a bit of a dilemma now.
After all, he... really didn't have those kinds of feelings for Wei Mosheng.
Chapter 22
Died for the villain for the first time (22)
"We'll see when the time comes." Yu Tang replied hastily to the system, squeezed on some toothpaste, and brushed his teeth, his thoughts drifting far away.
He wasn't really sure whether he liked men or women.
Moreover, all the women he dated said he didn't understand love.
Later, he realized that he might have been a bit slow on the uptake since childhood.
Dating someone is a form of harm.
So even if he talks to Wei Mosheng now to improve his image, it can only be described as acting and deception.
Moreover, if he were to feign death and leave, it would only cause greater harm to Wei Mosheng.
Sitting at the dining table, drinking the hangover soup that Wei Mosheng had cooked, Yu Tang replied to Wei Mosheng: I understand, I will pay attention next time.
Yu Tang: Thank you for the hangover soup. Focus on your class, and I'll pick you up for boxing practice tonight.
The teacher is giving a lecture at the front.
When Wei Mosheng saw the message notification on his phone, his hand, which was taking notes, paused slightly. He opened it, and a warm feeling spread through his heart.
Thinking back to what she had done to the man last night, the corners of her lips curled up and lingered for a long time.
Although I know it's wrong to do that, my heart is secretly pleased by those sneaky actions.
It's both shameful and insane.
Wei Mosheng: Okay, I'll wait for you.
After finishing his meal, Yu Tang planned to go to the supermarket when his phone suddenly rang. As soon as he answered the call, he heard Jiang Yuan sobbing on the other end.
"Xiao Tang, a large group of people suddenly came to the house. They're searching everywhere. Could you come and take a look..."
Startled, Yu Tang quickly reassured Jiang Yuan, "Auntie, don't be afraid, I'll be there soon."
When Yu Tang arrived at the dilapidated old building, he saw two expensive luxury cars parked downstairs.
Climbing up to the third floor, they indeed saw Wei Chen standing in the corridor with a look of disgust on his face, directing the bodyguards to search Jiang Yuan's house.
Suppressing his anger, Yu Tang stepped forward and asked coldly, "President Wei, what are you doing?"
"Just a security check." Wei Chen lied without hesitation: "But you, I just started searching and you came over. It seems you really care about that kid Wei Mosheng."
"Security checks require a certificate from the relevant department." Yu Tang held out his hand: "Where's your certificate?"
"No……"
"Then please stop the search, Mr. Wei." Yu Tang walked in and helped the pale-faced Jiang Yuan sit down on the sofa. "Otherwise, don't blame me for calling the police."
Wei Chen narrowed his eyes, stared at Yu Tang for a long time, and then suddenly laughed.
“You’re the first person who’s dared to get in my way.” Wei Chen gestured for the bodyguards to return. “I’m even more interested in you now.”
"That's enough for today, let's go." He turned to his bodyguards and said, "Come back with me."
Downstairs, the bodyguards reported the situation to Wei Chen.
"Mr. Wei, we've searched everywhere, and there really isn't a ring in Wei Mosheng's house."
"No ring...?" Wei Chen wasn't very angry.
He thought that maybe he was overthinking it.
Wei Mosheng is probably not an illegitimate child of the Wei family.
They just share the same surname.
However, Yu Tang is really interesting; he's his type.
You can give it a try.
Upstairs, Yu Tang closed the door, tidied up the messed-up room, and then sat down next to Jiang Yuan to ask her for details.
"I'm sorry, Xiaotang, there's something I've been keeping from you."
Jiang Yuan felt guilty towards Yu Tang, and seeing how busy he was for her made her feel even worse. So she simply told Yu Tang everything she had been keeping to herself: "Actually, Asheng is the illegitimate son of the Wei family..."
This time, Yu Tang heard Jiang Yuan recount the mistakes she had made, not just information from documents.
Yu Tang listened patiently, offering words of comfort from time to time.
“They’re here to search for that jade ring,” Jiang Yuan said. “Luckily, I gave you the ring beforehand. Otherwise, I really don’t know what the eldest son of the Wei family would have done to my son and me.”
She looked at Yu Tang pleadingly: "Xiao Tang, please make sure you keep the ring safe and don't let it be discovered, okay?"
"Hmm..." Yu Tang replied, "Don't worry, Auntie, I know what I'm doing."
After returning home, Yu Tang took a box, put the envelope Jiang Yuan had given him inside, and locked it under the bed with three additional locks before leaving.
In the original story, Wei Chen will die in a plane crash not long afterward.
So as long as they can get through this period, the crisis should be resolved.
That evening, Yu Tang parked his motorcycle outside the school and stood at the school gate waiting for Wei Mosheng.
His height, build, and appearance are all exceptionally striking; the moment he stands there, he attracts the attention of many people.
A young girl was being pushed by her friends to add him on WeChat. Yu Tang looked a little embarrassed and was about to refuse when everything went black. He realized that Wei Mosheng was blocking his way.
"Sorry, he already has a partner, so it's not convenient for him to add you as a friend."
The tall young man was more beautiful than a woman, but his expression was chillingly cold. Being stared at by those dark eyes gave one the feeling of being targeted by a venomous snake.
The girl was terrified and quickly backed away, saying sorry as she ran away.
"You got out pretty quickly." Although Yu Tang was grateful to Wei Mosheng for getting him out of the predicament, he couldn't help but say to him, "But next time you'll have to come up with a different excuse, after all, I don't know when I'll suddenly have a boyfriend."
"Your boyfriend is me." Wei Mosheng turned around, and when he faced Yu Tang, his expression returned to its innocent and harmless state. He asked Yu Tang softly, "If I told you I liked you, would you agree to date me?"
"Huh?" Yu Tang was stunned.
The system went wild in Yu Tang's mind: [Ahhh! I guessed right! He really confessed!]
"Ah Sheng, you're not kidding me, are you?" Yu Tang still tried to argue: "Look, we're both men, it's not appropriate for us to be together."
“I’m not joking.” Wei Mosheng said seriously, “Brother Tang, I like you, and I want to be with you forever.”
He pulled Yu Tang's hand and pleaded, "So, don't choose Wei Chen, choose me instead, okay?"
Chapter 23
Died for the villain for the first time (23)
Faced with Wei Mosheng's confession, Yu Tang couldn't brush it off with "we'll talk about it later" like she did with the system.
For the first time, he found himself in a dilemma.
Fortunately, Wei Mosheng's phone suddenly rang, breaking the awkward atmosphere between the two.
Wei Mosheng was somewhat annoyed and was about to hang up on the unfamiliar number.
Yu Tang quickly stopped him, urging him as if grasping at a straw: "Answer the phone first."
Wei Mosheng had no choice but to answer the phone.
After the call connected and a couple of sentences were exchanged, the boy's expression completely changed.
My trembling hands could barely hold the phone.
Seeing his expression, Yu Tang's heart skipped a beat: "What's wrong?"
"Brother Tang, go...go to the hospital." Wei Mosheng sounded like he was about to cry: "My mom's been taken to the hospital..."
On the way, Wei Mosheng told Yu Tang intermittently that Zhang Damin had returned. Knowing that he had sold the house, he asked Jiang Yuan for money. Jiang Yuan said she didn't have any, and the two struggled. Then, that beast Zhang Damin stabbed Jiang Yuan with a knife.
A neighbor helped call 120, and Jiang Yuan is currently in the hospital receiving emergency treatment.
When the two arrived at the hospital, Jiang Yuan was still in the operating room.
Seeing the bright operating lights, Wei Mosheng almost collapsed to the ground, but Yu Tang caught him to prevent him from falling.
The doctor came over and asked who the patient's family member was. Yu Tang wanted to step in, but Wei Mo answered faster than she did.
