After thinking for a while, Finn Xie realized that Asher Guan was angry because he said he was straight as steel during the live broadcast, and because of the misunderstanding during the game at the dinner table a few days ago. Misunderstandings were misunderstandings, and a marriage contract was still lying on the table. Even if this marriage was a complete transaction for the other person, Finn Xie was willing to get himself involved.
He felt a little sad, and was afraid that Asher Guan would notice, so he tried to lower his voice when speaking: "Okay."
Unexpectedly, when he said yes, the person on the other side became quiet. After a while, Finn Xie heard Asher Guan say, "You are really casual."
Finn Xie raised his eyebrows, and the atmosphere became tense for a moment. Fortunately, Asher Guan brought the topic back: "Would you like to consider it for a week or sign it now?"
"Sign now."
Finn Xie always did things as he pleased without any preparation, but Asher Guan was the exact opposite. Asher Guan had been a good planner since high school, and since Asher Guan had plans to get married, Finn Xie knew that he would be dragged into the trap in the end.
He wrote his name at the end of the contract. Just after signing, he heard Asher Guan ask: "Did you bring your ID?"
"Yes."
"Go get your certificate. The Civil Affairs Bureau is just two kilometers away."
Finn Xie still seemed to be sleepwalking until he entered Asher Guan's house at night. Asher Guan lived in a villa area in the city center. The garden attached to the villa was not big, but Finn Xie had seen in the news that the price of the houses nearby was not much different from those huge garden villas in the suburbs.
After entering the door, Finn Xie reached his hand into his trouser pocket, and when he touched the hard shell unique to paper products, he withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.
Marriage certificate.
He has one here, and Asher Guan has another exactly the same one in his hand.
Before Finn Xie could continue to digest the facts, a call pulled his thoughts back.
"Is Mr. Guan back?"
The visitor was a middle-aged woman with a smile on her plump face. Finn Xie felt that she looked familiar. She was also looking at him, with the same confusion in her eyes as Finn Xie.
"Aunt Song," Asher Guan asked, "Is dinner ready?"
"Everything is ready. I made a few spicy dishes as you requested. Is this your friend?"
"This is Xiao Xie," Asher Guan seemed to consider how to introduce Finn Xie: "We just got our marriage certificate this afternoon."
Finn Xie now remembered where he had seen Aunt Song. Six or seven years ago, he had been to Asher Guan's house. At that time, Asher Guan's family had a maid who was in her thirties. She also had chubby cheeks and was always smiling.
Obviously, Finn Xie's last name reminded Aunt Song of him as well. The emotion on her face was fleeting. Even though she was surprised, she did not seem to be overly curious about the host's private affairs.
Asher Guan took Finn Xie to familiarize himself with the environment, and Aunt Song went to the kitchen. Asher Guan usually had a light taste and rarely liked spicy food, so it was no wonder that he made such an uncharacteristic request today.
She still remembered Finn Xie.
How could I not have an impression? On New Year's Eve, Asher Guan received a phone call and left the whole family to go out. It was snowing heavily in the capital all those days. When Asher Guan came back, he was holding an umbrella. The dark green umbrella was full of snow. The snow fell on Asher Guan's shoulders, but the other boy under the umbrella was clean.
Asher Guan said that the boy he brought home was his junior, and that his family had some unexpected incidents, so he would spend the New Year at their home. Mrs. Guan was heartbroken when she sent the two children to take a bath. Aunt Song still remembers Mrs. Guan's scolding.
She said that it was fortunate that Asher Guan brought home a boy. If it was a girl, her son might not want her as his mother anymore.
Coming out of her memories, Aunt Song looked at the prepared dishes with some worry.
She cooked porridge for dinner, thinking it would nourish her stomach. But since Asher Guan had brought her home and had already received the red book, shouldn't she make something nutritious...to nourish her?
After dinner, Finn Xie went to the second bedroom to broadcast live. He had originally booked a hotel for two nights, but Asher Guan said that they had already signed the contract, so they might as well start living together from today. Finn Xie could only take his luggage over.
He actually didn't bring anything with him, the biggest thing was his computer. Neither the hotel nor Asher Guan's home had a suitable camera, so Finn Xie told the audience: "I'm not at home today, so I won't turn on the camera."
The comments expressed that it was very sad not to be able to touch God's hands, and that the S3xiest part of your body was the hands that typed on the keyboard.
Finn Xie was smoking a cigarette and laughing in front of the computer. Just as he was about to start queuing, someone knocked on the door. He stood up and walked to the door.
The lights in the corridor were warm, setting off Asher Guan's face. This man had incredibly good skin. Asher Guan pushed the things in his hand forward: "This is the soup that Auntie Song made. Before she left, she asked me to serve it to you."
"Thank you," Finn Xie was a little surprised to suddenly receive the care of his elders: "What kind of soup is this?"
"Goose soup with wolfberries."
"oh..."
"You go ahead and do your work." Asher Guan said and turned to leave. Finn Xie returned to the computer desk holding the still steaming porcelain bowl.
[What did you do behind my back?]
[Touch the God for a snack? I heard the word soup]
[A few soups, don't hurry up and queue up, it's just a waste of time]
"Someone just brought me some soup." Finn Xie put down his cigarette: "You want to spit at me for drinking some soup?"
[What are you spraying? Your mother is dead. Can the housing management seal off these stray dogs?]
[What kind of soup did Lao Mo drink?]
"Goose stewed with wolfberries." Finn Xie stirred the spoon: "It smells pretty good."
[Wolfberry...]
[With goose...]
[The one delivering the soup is not a girl, is it? Damn, this girl is awesome]
[This is incredible, goji berries and goose can warm the kidneys and boost yang, the girl is hinting so clearly, God, hurry up and do her.]
Finn Xie opened the ranking panel, and his live broadcast room had turned into a car accident scene. Various veterans explained the wonderful uses of wolfberry and goose, and a bowl of soup was made extremely explicit by them. Even in the first game, when Finn Xie picked Carter and made a mistake in positioning and was killed by Obama, the barrage of comments mocked him for being concerned about the lady who sent him soup and his mind was full of fancy moves.
"Stop talking nonsense to you guys," Finn Xie's ears were a little hot, thinking of Asher Guan entering his live broadcast room a few days ago. If the other party came in at this time and saw these, it would be terrible: "Whoever flirts with the room again will be banned by the room manager."
As soon as he finished speaking, the system prompted:
["Su Mu" gave "Ivy Lu" a blue whale. ]
["Su Mu" gave "Ivy Lu" a blue whale. ]
["Su Mu" gave "Ivy Lu" a blue whale. ]
Since the Blue Whale is the most expensive gift on the live streaming platform, if you give it to someone, the system will push it to the entire platform. Finn Xie also saw this message in his live streaming room. He originally thought that Su Mu was a new rich man who gave Ivy Lu a gift, but when he looked up, he saw the discussion in the barrage:
[A sister just announced her relationship today and she abused the dog]
[It’s really awesome. Yijie and Sumu have been dating for seven years. I’m starting to believe in love again]
[Love alone is of little use. Will Ivy Lu follow Su Mu if he has no money? Su Mu has been giving gifts all day.]
"You said," Finn Xie asked, "Sister Yi has a boyfriend? Is it this Su Mu?"
[This was announced on Weibo this morning. Didn’t you see it?]
[Look at us, we are still single, when will we catch up with the girl we like? ]
Ivy Lu actually has a boyfriend. They've been dating for seven years.
No wonder...
No wonder Asher Guan wanted to marry him. He had always wondered why Asher Guan didn't just marry Ivy Lu. He even had a wild hope that Asher Guan drank the third glass of wine because...
Finn Xie clenched the mouse.
Ivy Lu did not accept Asher Guan, so Asher Guan chose to marry him as a temporary measure. His thoughts were completely self-indulgent.
After the live broadcast, Finn Xie went on Weibo. He found Ivy Lu among the people he followed, and the top post was the news of her announcing her relationship. In addition to tagging an account with the ID Su Mumumu and announcing that this was her boyfriend, Ivy Lu also said that she had renewed her contract with Blue Whale.
Ivy Lu has been on Blue Whale Live for three years, and this year is the end of her contract. There are rumors that Blue Whale does not plan to renew her contract, and Ivy Lu herself is also considering other platforms. Once this Weibo post was published, the previous rumors that she had switched to other platforms were refuted.
Finn Xie saw the last few lines of her Weibo post:
[…The new boss is very easy to talk to. I just had a chat with him the day before the annual meeting and my contract was finalized. The conditions he offered were much better than I expected. He is indeed my idol (crazy maniac) (shy)]
After Finn Xie finished reading, he closed the page silently.
Ivy Lu said so, Asher Guan must have really given her very good conditions to renew the contract. What about me...?
Forget it, being able to see this person up close is good for him. Even if Asher Guan only uses him as a shield and has another person in his heart, so what.
Finn Xie thought about it and went downstairs with the empty porcelain bowl. Maybe the wolfberry goose soup did have some effect. When Finn Xie came out of the kitchen, he felt anxious and found a cigarette in his trouser pocket, so he lit one.
Finn Xie went upstairs and met Asher Guan coming out. The two met in the corridor. Finn Xie didn't know how to face this person. He heard Asher Guan's voice while smoking.
"Didn't you stop smoking before?" No emotion could be heard.
He really didn't smoke before. One time, Asher Guan teased him with a cigarette, and he told Asher Guan that smoking damaged his throat and that his singing would not sound good after smoking.
"There are few people who don't smoke in college, and I... I'm not a singer, so if it's broken, it's broken, it's no big deal."
After he finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Asher Guan, holding on to the last glimmer of hope and testing him: "Did Ivy Lu sign the contract on the day of the annual meeting? No wonder she was in a good mood that day..."
"You signed the agreement yourself, so you should know that the signing date is confidential."
"...Um."
Asher Guan's attitude was cold, and even his eyes were dull when he spoke. Finn Xie agreed reluctantly, but his heart was sinking.
Asher Guan was protecting Ivy Lu like this, and he asked him questions, which made Asher Guan unhappy.
"Then I'm going to sleep, you should go to bed early too." After Finn Xie said this, he lowered his head and walked around the other person. He didn't dare to look at Asher Guan's expression, fearing that besides coldness, there might be dissatisfaction.
He hurriedly stuffed the cigarette in his hand into his mouth. Only after he entered the room and closed the door did Finn Xie feel the pain on his lips.
He actually held the cigarette upside down and burned his lips.
Really, very hopeless.
