Chapter 124 Livestock
Ouyang and A Can dodged the staff, speaking in hushed tones in a corner of the building.
"Ouyang, tell me, what is this all about? I've essentially been kicked out of the main group. Where can I go after I complete this mission?"
"Don't assume it's a bad thing. You might become the most favored by Young Master Zi."
A Can didn't understand. He was being marginalized, so what was there to be favored about?
"Explain it to me clearly."
"Let me tell you. Haven't you noticed that Young Master Zi has already made many exceptions for Ye Shenge? Have you ever seen Young Master Zi arrange housing for a woman? Or personally order someone to protect her? Let alone arranging trusted confidants like you."
A Can thought about it. It was true. Who did Young Master Zi usually care about? Ever since his wife was gone, none of the Zi family members had received any attention from him, not even his own sister.
"What does this mean? Young Master Zi never does things without reason."
Ouyang looked at A Can like he was an idiot, calling them all dense brutes.
"Still don't understand? It's obvious Young Master Zi is interested in Miss Ye."
A Can's jaw dropped in shock, but then he thought of Ye Shenge's appearance and found it somewhat acceptable.
"If Young Master Zi is really that way, she's only fifteen and he's already a twenty-two-year-old man."
A Can held back the word "livestock," as the young girl was indeed too young.
Ouyang raised an eyebrow, his expression suggesting that A Can had hit the nail on the head.
"Cough, cough. This is just my guess, you absolutely cannot tell anyone, or we'll both be in trouble."
"Mm-hmm, I understand. Young Master Zi's methods are too ruthless. However, I feel like Young Master Zi has no chance. That little girl doesn't seem to have any feelings for Young Master Zi, she's clearly not developed yet."
Ouyang shook his head with a knowing air.
"You don't understand. Women are like prey. When a hunter sets his sights on them, can she really escape? So, from now on, stay by Miss Ye's side. Your status will be unmatched then."
The two of them imagined a bright future, thinking about how to perform well in front of Miss Ye and strive for promotions and salary increases.
Ye Shenge sat quietly on the sofa, reading medical books. The content was simple, things she had learned before. However, Ye Shenge didn't take it lightly. Instead, she memorized it diligently. With an opportunity for systematic learning, she wouldn't miss it.
Elder Fan rested for a while and then passed by his young disciple's room. He glanced inside and was very satisfied. He was very pleased with this disciple, only hoping he wouldn't have to experience disappointment and betrayal again. He sighed heavily, suppressing the bitterness in his heart. It was all fate.
Han Yuyan was so busy that his lips were chapped. Finally, in the evening, he managed to catch Ye Mu'en.
"Mu Zi, treat me to a meal first. I've only eaten one steamed bun all day."
Ye Mu'en looked at her old friend's face, which had clearly become a shade darker, and felt a pang of guilt. After all, her friend had been busy with her affairs. She quickly got off her bicycle and handed it to him.
"Let's go, I'll take you home for dinner."
Han Yuyan didn't think much of it and took the bike, riding it.
"Mu Zi, where did you get a home?"
"Don't ask, don't inquire. I'll make sure you can eat meat every meal from now on."
Such a grand promise made Han Yuyan so excited that the bike wobbled. Calming down, he realized it was impossible. With their family's rank, they only got about five catties of meat coupons a month. To eat meat every meal would require at least twenty catties.
"Mu Zi, don't make empty promises. Just letting me eat meat once a week is enough. I'll owe you my life from now on."
