Times have changed. It wasn’t easy to lead this generation of people!

Feeding this sour and unpleasant behavior to the public had undoubtedly shaken everyone’s previous judgment, as expressions of daze appeared on their faces. 

“I think Young Master Ren really values this boyfriend.”

“Have some sense. This is past that; it is simply indulging…”

“This cousin of Bai Yao sure is something.”

“Haha, maybe the Bai Family and the Ren Family are really going to bond through marriage. We might have to start using ‘Young Master Bai’ in the future.”

With that last part, everyone’s gaze turned back to Bai Yao; their eyes filled with all sorts of emotions.

Bai Yao: “??”

Bai Yao: “!!!”

Bao Yao’s green face was about to turned black. These people clearly implied that Bai Juanqiu’s behavior was instructed by the Bai Family.

He was innocent! It wasn’t him!

He despised Bai Juanqiu’s behavior more than anyone present!

Bai Yao held a mouthful of old blood in his chest, unable to spit it out. He wanted to explain himself but couldn’t find the angle to. The pot was firmly lodged on his back.

On the other hand, there was also this panic he couldn’t describe inside. 

It turned out that Ren Xingliu said that he fell in love with Bai Juanqiu. Although he was aggrieved, he could still comfort himself, but it was only temporary. With Ren Xingliu’s temperament, he must have quickly gotten tired of his hypocritical cousin.

So, it turned out that Ren Xingliu had really settled with Bai Juanqiu since the beginning. Although he was feeling frustrated, he could comfort himself with one thing. This was merely temporary. With Ren Xingliu’s temperament, he would soon get tired of his handsome but substanceless cousin.

He never thought that his cousin was able to humble himself in front of Ren Xingliu! The same cousin who carried his sharp edge and had a stinky temper that could rival stone in the cesspit.

He was actually hand feeding Ren Xingliu! 

I see, this is how it is. Bai Juanqiu, despite presenting yourself nobly, you would still use any means possible in order to rise to the top!

Bai Yao felt ashamed, but at the same time, he had to admit that it made him feel uneasy. What if Ren Xingliu really ate this case?

Not to mention how soaked in joy Ren Xingliu looked right now…

Even Pei Xianzhi was at a loss. 

It was obviously not like this when Ren Xingliu pursued him in the past. At that time, Ren Xingliu was very particular about his young master style and behaved very well in front of him.

This was obviously different from how Ren Xingliu had pursued him before. During that time, Ren Xingliu was very particular about keeping his noble demeanor and acted very dignified in front of Pei Xianzhi at least.

Pei Xianzhi also felt that this was the way to express liking someone.

Now, in comparison, he suddenly felt that perhaps, this was the true way to express liking someone?

As the saying goes, love makes people lose their minds.

Young Master Ren looked to have completely lost his head by love.

In reality, of course Young Master Ren didn’t lose his head, he was even calmly analyzing, “I think you’re acting too calm. Your vinegar energy isn’t strong enough.”

Although feeding by hand was a sweet gesture, he didn’t find the intensity strong enough. 

Bai Juanqiu was much calmer than he was. “This is only our second date. It’s unreasonable for me to be that jealous.”

“You’re right.” Ren Xingliu felt remorseful. “Let’s keep the table smack act for future use.”

Bai Juanqiu: “…”

“But this is fine too.” Ren Xingliu lightly tapped the table with his fingers and chuckled. “Your cousin must be sitting unstill.” 

Then he shook his head and sighed. “While I’ll be known as a scumbag, seeing one and loving one.”

Bai Juanqiu had so much to say but hesitated: “…”

Uncle: [Juanqiu, how has work been lately? If you run into any trouble, remember to let me know. I at least possess some power in the business world to help.]

Uncle: [If you and your cousin have a conflict, don’t keep it in your mind. If you have anything to say, talk to him as soon as possible. Ah Yao is a reckless person and has no bad intentions. How can brothers have an overnight feud, right? Besides, you were raised by us after all, and your aunt loves you the most. In the past two days, she even said that she would make soup for you to replenish your health. 】 

Uncle: [If you have any conflicts with your cousin, don’t keep it inside. If you have anything to say, say it now. A-Yao is reckless, but he holds no bad intentions. As a family, there’s no overnight grudges, right? Besides, you grow up in our family, and your aunt dotes on you the most. These days, she even said she wants to stew nourishing soup for you.]

Uncle: [Also, when Ren Xingliu is free, you invite him to come to your home. You have just started dating, and he is the young man who has been admired by everyone. You should be more active, and your family will give you full support. your. 】

Uncle: [Also, when will Ren Xingliu be free? You should take him back home for a visit. Now you two have started dating, you should be more proactive, especially because he is the moon that stars cup around. Everyone back at home is in full support of you.]

Since his successful blind date with Ren Xingliu, Bai Guanghai’s attitude towards him had warmed up considerably, but the arrogance deep in the man’s bones couldn’t hide the urge to look down from the high ground.

However, tonight’s encounter in the cafeteria really made Bai Yao restless. Bai Guanghai was so eager to see is believing. In addition to wanting to win the Ren family’s business as soon as possible, he was afraid that he also wanted to test him.

It was indeed the chance encounter in the food court tonight that made Bai Yao restless. Bai Guanghai wished to witness it with his own eyes, not only because he wanted to quickly score a business deal with the Ren Family, but also carrying the intention to test him.

Bai Juanqiu: [I’m very busy these days. Let’s talk about it once I have the time.] 

The Bai Family.

When Bai Guanghai saw Bai Juanqiu’s reply, he instantly sneered. “That yellow-mouthed brat. It seems that he has really climbed up to that Ren guy. He dared to show me an attitude.”

Standing on the side, Bai Yao was furious at the situation. “Father, see, I told you. Bai Juanqiu is a white-eyed wolf! Is he going to bite our family’s hands that feed him?”

“It’s useless for him to think about it.” Old God Bai Guanghai is here. “He has been in that kind of environment since he was a child. He has never seen the real world. He is so shallow-sighted that he thinks that he can just please Ren Xingliu. Show your face to us.” 

“No matter what he wants, it’s going to be useless.” Bai Guanghai was an old god in all respects. “He has been living in that kind of environment in childhood and has never experienced the real world. His eyelids are too thin. He thought that by pleasing Ren Xingliu, he could show us his face color.”

Correct, the few messages he sent were to test the water on Bai Juanqiu.

If Bai Juanqiu silently endured the gas and swallowed the sound, he would begin to doubt if this nephew was making any small movements behind his back, and only acting meekly to hide the scheme.

For Bai Juanqiu to expose his dissatisfaction instead of bearing it actually put Bai Guanghai at ease. 

This was all his nephew got. It was far too soon for his nephew to duke it out with him on scheme.

Bai Yao was still very worried. “But Ren Xingliu really goes above his head…”

To be precise, he lost his head.

“You’re still too young.” Seeing how agitated his son’s sorrowful heart was, Bai Guanghai revealed this, “What do you know? Even Ren Zhu couldn’t see above Bai Juanqiu.” 

“Ms. Ren doesn’t approve of him?” Bai Yao was surprised and also puzzled. “Then why did she still set Ren Xingliu up with him?”

“It’s intentionally gotten back at Ren Xingliu.” Bai Guanghai took a cigarette out, which Bai Yao quickly lit for him.

Bai Guanghai took a breath and narrowed his eyes slightly: “I found out that Ren Zhu almost agreed to marry the Zou family, but Ren Xingliu refused to give in, so Ren Zhu deliberately arranged for your cousin to go there. You guessed it? For what?”

Bai Guanghai took a breath, squinted and said, “I’ve poked around and found out that Ren Zhu almost agreed to the Zou Family’s marriage proposal, but Ren Xingliu refused to comply. So, Ren Zhu intentionally arranged for your cousin to go next. Can you guess why?”

After thinking briefly, Bai Yao soon figured it out. “She wants to use Bai Juanqiu as a comparison to let Ren Xingliu know difficulties, so he will yield?”

“Mother knows her son the best.” Bai Guanghai snorted. “In this battle between the mother and her son, Bai Juanqiu couldn’t see the situation clearly, and really treated himself as a dish.”

Bai Yao asked, “What if Ren Xingliu really likes him?”

“That will only happen if he has the ability.” Bai Guanghai exhaled a puff of smoke, “Ren Xingliu is in trouble now. I heard that Ren’s group of shareholders are joining forces to oppose his joining the company after graduation. Ren Zhu wants him to marry the Zou family. That’s also true. I want to protect him, but in this situation, does he think he dares to marry someone with no background like Bai Juanqiu?” 

“That will require Bai Juanqiu to be accomplished first.” Bai Guanghai blew out a puff of smoke. “Ren Xingliu is currently vulnerable. I heard that Ren Empire’s shareholders are all against having him enter the company after graduation. Ren Zhu wants him to marry the Zou Family to protect him. In this situation, does he really believe he can marry someone like Bai Juanqiu who has no background?”

“Oh, so that’s how it is.” Bai Yao got it now and could finally feel relief, even feeling slightly excited now. “Doesn’t that mean Bai Juanqiu’s hard work is all for nothing?”

“How could it be in vain?” Bai Guanghai showed a proud smile, “As long as he and Ren Xingliu haven’t broken up, Ren Zhu will keep selling us this face. The more he pleases Ren, the more space we can have to negotiate with the Ren family. The bigger it gets.”

“Why would it be for nothing?” Bai Guanghai revealed a smug smile. “As long as he hasn’t broken up with Ren Xingliu, Ren Zhu will continue to be polite to us. The more he tries to please that Ren guy, the more room we will have to negotiate with the Ren Family.” 

Bai Yao was mind blown and exclaimed, “Father, you got everything figured out!”

“There will be a banquet at home in a while. Let Bai Juanqiu bring Ren Xingliu over.” Bai Guanghai put out the cigarette butt and his eyes darkened, “I want to see how much ability he has to make Ren Xingliu give him To what extent.”

“Soon, I’ll be throwing a banquet. Have Bai Juanqiu bring Ren Xingliu over.” Bai Guanghai extinguished his cigarette into the ashtray, and his expression turned grim. “I’d like to see how capable he is, and how far he could get Ren Xingliu to do things for him.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Bai Yao gawking at his phone. “Ren Xingliu personally showed PDA on his Moments!” 

Bai Guanghai: “?”

–

Once Bai Juanqiu returned Bai Guanghai’s message, he continued to scroll down. What was waiting for him was a message from Ren Xingliu.

Bai Juanqiu unconsciously smiled. He put the towel away and sat on the bed. Once he found a comfortable position, he clicked the message, taking his time to reply.

As soon as he clicked into their chat, he was faced with a whole row of disappointed emoji.

Ren Xingliu: [What’s going on with the melon seed eater group? I had been refreshing the whole night, and no one had posted anything about us (sigh).]

Correct, the first thing he did was to create a small account to personally infiltrate the Ling University’s Part-Time Substitute Class Group, so he could see the wind direction in a timely manner.

But with how the world worked at times, no one had the intention to plant a willow tree that would later grow into shade. The carefully crafted play wouldn’t always be well-received. QhIwnW

There were tens of thousands of students in Ling University, and only little over a thousand bodies in the group chat. There wouldn’t always be a case where someone got first-hand news about Young Master Ren.

His classmates who attended the elective lecture with him only took Bai Juanqiu as a small attendant, nothing worth gossiping about.

While for Pei Xianzhi’s group, they only dared to roast in their own group. After all, the target range was too small, and they probably didn’t want to draw Young Master Ren’s attention.

What they had no idea was that Young Master Ren was seeking the news, even hoping that they would be brave enough to come forward. 

Bai Juanqiu: [It’s okay. The people that need to know are already in the know.]

Their initial plan was to dispel Ren Zhu and the Bai Family’s suspicion, and now, Bai Yao had witnessed their relationship firsthand and conveyed it to Bai Guanghai.

It wasn’t important what the other people might think.

Except, when Ren Xingliu’s competitive spirit was aroused. 

Ren Xingliu: [No worries. I can spread the story myself.]

Bai Juanqiu: “?”

That was completely unnecessary!

Ren Xingliu: [Boyfriend, wait for my good news.] gwYdrq

Bai Juanqiu: […]

He had the intention to talk the youth out of it, but seeing Ren Xingliu so fired up, for some unknown reason, maybe it was demons and gods at work, he did the opposite.

Bai Juanqiu: [Alright.]

Instantly after, he was shocked by how Ren Xingliu took action. 

It wasn’t wrong to say Ren Xingliu didn’t use his heart, as he started with a post on his Moments.

[@Ren Xingliu: A memorable night with Juanqiu, who accompanied me to class and meal tonight (photo).]

The photo attached was the notes Bai Juanqiu had taken for Ren Xingliu.

Obviously, since they didn’t take a photo together, Young Master Ren had to take the next best thing, a photo of his notebook. 

When Young Master Ren was discharged from the hospital after his car accident, not only did he quickly get himself a boyfriend, but also personally posted on his Moments, which instantly earned him countless likes.

Even more people were curious and sent private messages to find out, including Ding Shi.

Ding Shi also sent a message: [Tie Zi, don’t be so conceited, right? No matter how I look at it, I feel that Bai Juanqiu is very scheming. You have only known each other for a short time, and yet he chased him to school. His purpose is too obvious. Don’t believe it, I have experience with this kind of person. 】

Ding Shi: [Iron pallet, there’s no need for you to go that far? No matter how I look at it, I think that Bai Juanqiu guy carries a lot of ulterior motives. You haven’t known each other for very long, and he has already followed you on campus. His purpose is as clear as day. Believe me, I have experience with this kind of person.] 

Ren Xingliu replied to none of them, and he even blocked Ding Shi. He quickly went to war in the melon seed eater group.

He took a screenshot of his Moments, switched to his anonymous account and opened the group chat.

[@Allowed to Walk Freely: Newsflash! Ren Xingliu really got himself a boyfriend, and they are very much in love (Screenshot)!]

Having a screenshot as proof was very different, as it instantly caused a sensation in the group. 

[Wow! So, it was true!]

[Allowed to Walk Freely must have some connection to be able to take a screenshot of Ren Xingliu’s Moments.]

[It’s alright? It doesn’t really prove their love. Isn’t this just a snip of their daily life?]

[Oh, I know about this! I’m taking the same elective lecture as Ren Xingliu. I saw a guy going to the lecture with Ren Xingliu. I thought he was just an attendant, it turned out he was the boyfriend?!] 

[It was no wonder. That guy is pretty good looking. Not your average looker too.]

[Cowhide, he is only going to live easy to his thirties!]

[How naive, does he think it’s that easy to join a wealthy family? I think Young Master Ren is just messing around.]

Ren Xingliu frowned. Could this group not go along with his wishes? 

[@Allowed to Walk Freely: You guys sure are an envious bunch. I really think that Ren Xingliu really likes his boyfriend, and his boyfriend didn’t think like that. You guys shouldn’t lay him out like that.]

As soon as he spoke up, the group wasn’t amused by this remark.

[??? This was quite a reasonable guess for everyone. Why would that make us an envious bunch?]

[Are you Ren Xingliu himself? How do you know what Ren Xingliu is thinking then?] 

[Why are you in such a hurry to wash that boyfriend? Could it be that you’re that boyfriend’s anonymous account?]

[That makes so much sense. Maybe this is the boyfriend himself, coming to spread the scoop just so he can quickly rise in status!]

Ren Xingliu: “…”

Ren Xingliu took a screenshot of the chat history and sent it to Bai Juanqiu, along with the folded hands emoji. 

Ren Xingliu: [I’m sorry, I tarnish your reputation instead.]

Times have changed. It wasn’t easy to carry this generation of people!

Bai Juanqiu: “…”

Bai Juanqiu: [It’s not a big deal.] 

Comrade Xiao Bai was the definition of kind-hearted beauty!

Having said that, Ren Xingliu still felt very guilty. Just as he was mulling over how to fix this, Ding Shi called. He answered the phone and heard Ding Shi’s angry shout.

“Xing-bao, there’s a mole in your friend list!”

Ren Xingliu: “?” 

“Let me tell you. Someone in the melon seed eater group just posted a screenshot of your Moments. It’s best if you investigate and remove the person off of your friend list as soon as possible.”

Ren Xingliu: (Endure)

He pretended to remain calm. “Maybe the guy is just curious.”

Ding Shi rebuked, “Har har, I have seen this kind of thing very often. They must have mental darkness, wanting to see you make a fool of yourself.” 

Ren Xingliu: (Can’t endure this any longer)

He used a serious tone, “I think it’s you who has a problem with your head. Don’t always be suspicious. You need to have more trust in the world!”
