Ye Xuan was stunned when he heard the system notification and saw Ah Xing looking at him and Qi Meng with a complicated expression. He turned his head and saw Qi Meng looking at him with a gentle expression.
Seeing Ye Xuan looking at her strangely, Qi Meng felt her earlobe heating up. For the first time, she didn't dare to look at Ye Xuan in the eyes. She turned her head away with a burning face.
Ye Xuan was a little dull when it came to relationships, but he wasn't completely clueless. He recalled the note that Qi Meng left at the clinic, the gentle look in Qi Meng's eyes when they met in the villa, the panic and fear on Qi Meng's face when he blocked the bullet for her, the tears in her eyes, and the strange scene before him. Ye Xuan was dumbfounded. Then, he came to a shocking conclusion. Qi Meng had fallen in love with him.
Ye Xuan didn't notice when Qi Meng started to fall in love with him. All along, when he came to the movie world, he mainly acted according to the arrangement of the mission. He didn't consider this aspect at all. It wasn't that he didn't like Qi Meng. On the contrary, he liked Qi Meng very much when he watched the movie. However, this didn't make him fall in love with Qi Meng. This statement was a little contradictory, but it was true. Liking a movie character and liking a person were different.
Everyone got off the speedboat at a safe place. Then, Chen Song and Qi Meng left with their subordinates. Meanwhile, Ye Xuan, Ah Xing, and Uncle Da called a taxi and headed to Uncle Da's place.
Ever since Ye Xuan moved into Uncle Da's house with Ah Xing, Ah Xing didn't take the initiative to talk to Ye Xuan on the first night. Instead, he lay on the bed, sitting up and lying down. He seemed to be in a dilemma. On the other hand, Ye Xuan lay quietly on the bed. His mind was quietly recalling everything that had happened since he came to this movie world. He recalled the resentful gaze that Qi Meng gave him before they parted ways today. He let out a long sigh.
On the same bed, the two of them were filled with strange emotions. They only fell asleep very late at night.
After thinking for a whole night, Ye Xuan still couldn't sort out his feelings for Qi Meng.
Sometimes, it was easy to like someone. Even if you only took a glance at them, you might be deeply attracted to them. Sometimes, even if you stayed with them every day and met them every day, if you didn't like them, you didn't like them. There was no logic to it.
Ye Xuan admitted that he had a good impression of Qi Meng. If a beauty liked him, as long as he was not mentally abnormal, any man would feel proud of himself even if he did not say it. Naturally, Ye Xuan was no exception.
However, this favorable impression did not make Ye Xuan truly fall in love with her. After all, the two of them had only met a few times, and the number of words they had spoken was less than the number of fingers. Moreover, he had saved her a few times. He believed that other than having a good impression of Qi Meng, he only did it to complete the system's mission. He did not have any other thoughts.
Since he couldn't sort it out, there was no need to waste his effort. Ye Xuan wanted to let nature take its course. The International Gambling King Tournament would begin in a few days. At that time, he might be able to leave this movie world.
As time passed, the International Gambling King Tournament was about to begin. Unlike Ye Xuan who acted as if nothing had happened, Ah Xing seemed to have a deep love for Qi Meng. His spirit was getting weary day by day. Recently, he had lost his appetite.
"Qi Meng …" Ah Xing was wearing baggy clothes. His eyelids were drooping as he leaned on the table. He looked listless as if he was sleepwalking.
"Ah Xing, be good. Guess what card is this?" Uncle Da sat opposite Ah Xing and said with a bitter face while holding a card in his hand.
"Qi Meng …" Ah Xing acted as if he did not hear him. He grabbed Uncle Da's hand and rubbed it in a mushy manner.
"Sigh!" Uncle Da flung Ah Xing's hand away angrily. He got to his feet and complained to Ye Xuan, who was sitting next to him, "Ah Xuan, look at this brat. The competition will start tomorrow. What should we do?"
Ye Xuan was a little troubled. These days, Ah Xing seemed to have regarded him as his rival in love. Now, Ah Xing's favorability towards him was only left with 90%. His favorability towards Ye Xuan was dropping by 10% every day. If this went on, Ah Xing's favorability towards Ye Xuan would drop again.
In the past, he had heard that he would be willing to sacrifice himself for his brother. For a woman, he would stab his brother twice. It seemed that it was true.
"Uncle Da, whoever started the trouble must end it. Since Ah Xing is in this state because of Qi Meng, why don't we just let him see Qi Meng?" Ye Xuan pondered for a while and said.
"But what kind of person is Qi Meng? How could she possibly fall for this darn brat? I'm afraid that this darn brat is already in such a state. If he were to be hurt by love, wouldn't he be crippled?" Uncle Da said with a worried expression.
"Can he be worse than now?" Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows and pointed at Ah Xing, who was stuffing a mahjong tile into his mouth.
"That's true!" Uncle Da smiled bitterly. He walked over and threw away the mahjong tile in Ah Xing's hand. He walked back and said, "Then I'll find a phone and call the boss to look for Qi Meng."
"Oh yes, Uncle Da." Ye Xuan suddenly stopped Uncle Da who was about to make a call.
"Yes, is there anything else?" Uncle Da looked at Ye Xuan with a puzzled look.
"Now that Ah Xing and you are protected, it's time for me to leave!" Ye Xuan smiled and said.
Just a few days ago, Chen Song had sent a few of his men to protect Ah Xing and him so that he could participate in the tournament smoothly. However, no one knew if it was really to protect them or to monitor them.
"What? You're leaving?" Uncle Da was slightly stunned when he heard Ye Xuan's words. "Did Uncle Da do something wrong? Tell me. It's alright. You've helped us a lot these days. We're almost a family now."
"No, Uncle Da, please don't misunderstand me. I just have something else to do. An old friend of mine contacted me a few days ago, and he needs my help," Ye Xuan said, trying to make up a story.
"Oh, I see. When are you leaving?" Uncle Da asked.
"I've already prepared my luggage. I'll leave in a while!" Ye Xuan walked into the room and took out his luggage. He placed it in the living room.
"So soon?" Uncle Da was surprised.
"My friend's matter is more urgent!" Ye Xuan smiled.
"Oh, I see. Wait a moment!" Uncle Da suddenly walked into his room. After a while, he came out with a small paper bag in his hand. He stuffed it into Ye Xuan's hand and said, "This is a small token from Uncle Da. Although it's not much, you have to accept it. It's never wrong to have more money when you're away from home. "
Holding the paper bag in his hand, Ye Xuan suddenly felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He knew that Uncle Da did not have much money. He had yet to receive the money from the contract with Chen Song. Ye Xuan estimated that the money in the paper bag was at least tens of thousands. He stuffed the money back into Uncle Da's hand and said, "Thank you, Uncle Da. However, I don't need the money. I still have quite a bit of money with me. It's enough for me to spend."
The two of them argued for a few more rounds. Uncle Da saw that Ye Xuan really did not want to accept it, so he did not force him.
"Ah Xing, I'm leaving. Take care!" Ye Xuan walked to Ah Xing while carrying his luggage.
"Qi Meng …" Ah Xing pretended that he did not hear him.
"Brat, Ah Hsuan is leaving and you're still thinking about Qi Meng …" Uncle Da was furious. He walked over and slapped the back of Ah Xing's head.
"Hehe, there's no need for that, Uncle Da!" Ye Xuan extended his hand to stop Uncle Da's slap. He smiled and said, "Then I'm leaving. Uncle Da, take care!"
"Remember to come back and see me and Ah Xing after you're done. We'll always welcome you," Uncle Da said reluctantly.
"Alright, don't worry, Uncle Da. I will. Goodbye!" Ye Xuan opened the door and walked out with a smile.
He carried his luggage downstairs and turned around to look in the direction of Uncle Da's house. Ye Xuan sighed slightly and walked to a nearby hotel.
Ye Xuan did not leave Uncle Da's house to escape from his feelings. If he really liked someone, he would pursue it. However, if he did not like her, he did not want to be involved in the whirlpool of emotions. After all, he would be leaving this movie world soon. Rather than leaving the people he left behind in pain, it was better to cut the Gordian knot and end it once and for all.
