This ti, He Thian likely didn’t use Ye Chen as a cover.
After all, He Thian had a better excuse—coincidental eting!
This was much more natural than awkwardly pulling strings, as his cousin was a smart guy, even though he always refused to put it to good use.
Living under the sa roof with his cousin for these past two or three years had given Ye Chen enough ti to understand his nature and strengths.
Ye Chen once got angry because of his cousin’s "squandering of talent."
Like being so frustrated with iron not turning into steel, his cousin was indeed a smart person, but he wouldn’t choose the Righteous Path, causing his parents needless worry and toil.
"Ding! Male lead’s anger value 1!"
Suddenly thinking of the past, Ye Chen felt a touch of annoyance at his cousin.
He Tiantian: ... it’s, it’s quite sudden.
Although Ye Chen was saying "I believe you," why did he still generate anger value?
Sigh, all Tiantian could say was the male lead’s heart is as hard to grasp as a needle at the bottom of the sea.
"Bro, do you really believe ?" He Tiantian tentatively prodded.
She was eager to understand what exactly set off the male lead’s anger.
"Yeah, you’re smart, but it’s a pity—" You won’t put it to good use!
He Tiantian’s eyes lit up, aha, I got it.
Thanks, Brother Male Lead, I’ve found a new train of thought.
Yeah, that’s right, soone like Brother Male Lead, with higher-than-average principles and an impressively upright image, would certainly be positive and sunny.
The last thing he would want to see is soone like the original character, who could rely on talent but instead shalessly beca a hoodlum.
Being frustrated with iron not turning into steel is also a form of "disappointnt."
"Of course, I’m smart. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so good at archery!" He Tiantian, riding on Ye Chen’s words, said with self-satisfaction.
Ye Chen: ... I’m not praising you, I’m, I’m criticizing you for not being ambitious, wasting your great talent!
Taking a deep breath, Ye Chen cald his mood, "Since you have a talent for archery, let’s develop it that way. How about finding a job at an archery range?"
Ye Chen thought the club’s job was alright, but being a security guard there wasn’t stable enough.
Besides, the clientele of the club was either rich or noble, too many temptations.
Ye Chen was really worried that his impressionable cousin, when exposed to such a flamboyant world, would definitely be dazzled.
The club wasn’t just a place with male patrons but also had many, ahem, Ye Chen certainly didn’t want He Thian to suddenly start living off a woman one day and then break his real mother’s heart.
"I don’t want to work at an archery range, that’s too tiring. This way is best, just one deal is enough to keep occupied for a good while!"
He Tiantian looked proud, as if she had found so great business that only needed to open once every ten years to make enough profit for the next ten.
When He Tiantian ntioned the word "business," Ye Chen’s expression changed again.
Just daydreaming here, he’d forgotten the real reason he got He Thian involved.
"Xiao Tian, how could you take Wenyuan’s money? He, he’s my best friend, and he’s done so much to help our family!"
Ye Chen finally voiced his deepest anger.
Maybe he cared too much, as when he said this, another chanical sound echoed from the depths of Tiantian’s sea of consciousness—
"Ding! Male lead’s anger value 1!"
"Why can’t I take Young Master Su’s money?" He Tiantian looked puzzled, as if her brother had asked a foolish question.
"I, I told you, he’s my best friend! And when you initially went to connect with Wenyuan, you were under my na. You, you even called him ’Brother Wenyuan’—"
Ye Chen was so frustrated that he couldn’t even speak clearly.
"You yourself said that was ’initially’! Now I’ve figured out my relationship with Young Master Su, we, we could never be good brothers like you two!"
He Tiantian shrugged nonchalantly.
Her deanor, coupled with her tone, seed to Ye Chen to smack of "burning bridges" and "turning face."
"Ding! Male lead’s anger value 1!"
Tiantian’s eyes sparkled, feeling even more relieved.
Seeing her expression, Ye Chen grew even more annoyed, "How can you say that? He Thian, you’ve gone too far!"
He Tiantian frowned, "Bro, what exactly are you angry about? Initially, when I connected with Young Master Su, you disapproved. You even specifically warned not to contact him again!"
"Now I’m not actively seeking him out. Just occasionally, I make a trade when I run into him, and you bla for not talking about feelings instead of money?"
"Bro, please tell , what exactly are you trying to say?"
He Tiantian deliberately posed a tricky question, waiting for that chanical sound from deep within her sea of consciousness.
However, after hearing the question, Ye Chen’s expression did freeze for a mont, his eyes betraying a flash of embarrassnt and hesitation.
But, Tiantian waited a long ti and didn’t hear the anticipated "ding."
Instead, Ye Chen let out a long sigh and suddenly smiled with relief: "... Xiao Tian, I’m sorry, I was stuck in a rut!"
"Right, you’re correct, Wenyuan and I are good brothers, I can help him unconditionally, but you don’t have such a bond with him; indeed, you have no duty or obligation to help him for free!"
He Tiantian: ... Damn, this cursed male lead halo, making Brother Male Lead so charismatic!
