Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 430 The Beginning of Everything 21

Gu Yao chuckled and extended his hand to Cen Yubai, his eyes sparkling. "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

Cen Yubai looked at the hand in front of him, so exquisitely beautiful. He took a deep breath, raised his hand, and shook the hand. "It's a pleasure doing business with you."

Gu Yao nodded without saying anything more, and then released Cen Yubai's hand in an instant.

Cen Yubai pursed his lips and withdrew his hand. Looking at the young man typing away on the computer in front of him, he couldn't help but ask, "Why did you ask me to collaborate?"

Gu Yao paused in his fingertips, tilting his head slightly, "Because..."

Gu Yao deliberately dragged out his words before continuing, "You're a smart person."

Cen Yubai was clearly not satisfied with this answer, and frowned. "Then how much do you know about me?"

Gu Yao sighed softly, stopped what he was doing, and narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Cen Yubai.

After a long silence, a smile finally appeared on his lips. "Cen Yubai, you don't need to be too wary of me, because I know everything about you."

After saying that, Gu Yao added, "The main reason I'm looking to cooperate with you is because..."

Gu Yao thought for a moment, then came up with a very suitable word and said, "Know them inside and out."

"Moreover, you are very capable."

Cen Yubai pursed his lips, showing no sign of being comforted.

He only felt powerless due to the huge information gap.

The person in front of him saw right through him, yet he knew nothing about this person.

Too passive.

Cen Yubai gritted his teeth and looked up at Gu Yao, "And what about you?"

Gu Yao was stunned for a moment, then smiled, sat up, looked directly at Cen Yubai, and said seriously, "Since I was ten years old, it has always been Brother Xie who has taken care of me."

"Because I was in a car accident when I was ten years old, and both my parents died. I was the only one who survived, and that is why I am seeking your cooperation."

Gu Yao paused, a ruthless glint flashing in his light-colored eyes. "I want revenge, and you want revenge too. We're well-suited to be partners, aren't we?"

Gu Yao didn't spell things out any further, but he believed that Cen Yubai already knew what was going on.

Cen Yubai lowered his eyes.

After a long silence, a smile appeared on his face. "I believe you."

Always seeking stability, he decided to take a big gamble.

Trust the person in front of you.

He didn't ask why Gu Yao didn't directly ask Xie Gui to help him take revenge, because he understood too well.

To get revenge, you have to take it yourself to truly feel satisfied.

He saw a fierce look on Gu Yao's face.

A ruthless force tinged with hatred.

It felt the same as when he faced that group of hypocritical people from the Cen family.

Cen Yubai looked up.

Gu Yao smiled, winked at him, and resumed her sunny and cheerful demeanor.

"I trust you completely."

A radiant smile can't be faked.

It was a bright and clear light, free of any gloom.

Cen Yubai pressed down his eyelashes, looked down at his fingertips, and sighed softly.

Gu Yao was ultimately luckier than him.

It's clear that Xie Gui has taken good care of Gu Yao.

The September sun in the capital was still scorching. As soon as Chen Zhao returned to his dormitory, he hurriedly grabbed the air conditioner remote control from the table, dragged a chair, and plopped down under the air conditioner.

With a beep, Chen Zhao, standing under the air conditioner, revealed a contented expression.

"This military training at A University is unbearable for humans. It's only the first day, and it's still a month away. How am I supposed to survive...?"

Chen Zhao leaned back in his chair, looking up at the ceiling with a look of utter despair.

When Yu Ran arrived, he saw Chen Zhao's half-dead state and his temples throbbed with anger. He reached out and pulled Chen Zhao up, his voice tinged with suppressed rage, "You're sweating so much, and you still dare to sit right under the air conditioner? Chen Zhao, you've really grown bold. Don't you know what kind of body you have?"

"Are you planning to get sick and then have to make up for the missed training with your juniors next year?"

"Or do you want me to tell Auntie?"

Chen Zhao shuddered, not from the cold, but from being frightened by Yu Ran.

He turned his head stiffly, revealing a pitiful expression, "Yu Ran, look, I'm still wearing my military training jacket, please don't tell my mom, please..."

He clasped his hands together and bowed to Yu Ran.

Gu Yao sat in his chair watching this scene, a smile appearing in his eyes. He teased, "Chen Zhao, you really look like a cat that's been wrecked and is being grabbed by the scruff of its neck by its owner. You look so pitiful and subservient. Tsk tsk tsk."

"I didn't!"

Having grown accustomed to this way of interacting with Yu Ran, which was how they always acted in private, Chen Zhao blushed slightly upon seeing this as a laughingstock.

He was somewhat annoyed, as if wanting to prove himself, and reached out to slap away Yu Ran's hand that was grabbing the back of his collar.

Yu Ran's expression darkened. When Chen Zhao met those deep, dark eyes, he instantly became subdued, like a mouse seeing a cat. His raised hand slowly landed on Yu Ran's hand, gently kneading it. His tone was incredibly sweet, and a bright smile graced his face.

"Yu Ran, you must be tired. Let me give you a massage."

They were incredibly obsequious.

Yu Ran remained unmoved, gave a light snort, and shoved the man into the bathroom, saying, "Take a hot shower before you come out!"

The boy emphasized the words "hot bath," as if he were deliberately highlighting something.

Chen Zhao shrank back and muttered as he went into the bathroom, "Are you a tapeworm in my stomach?"

Yu Ran crossed his arms and glanced at the person sideways. "Hmm?"

Chen Zhao's hands moved quickly, and he waved his hand, "No, no, I'll wash it right away!"

The door should be closed as quickly as possible.

Gu Yao was amazed.

He stared blankly at the sound of water coming from the bathroom, then turned to look at Yu Ran and pointed to the bathroom door. "Did he forget to bring a change of clothes?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Ran paused, seemingly lost in thought, before his face darkened.

Yu Ran took two steps forward and walked towards Chen Zhao's wardrobe. The moment he opened it, Yu Ran's face darkened even more.

From Gu Yao's angle, he could only see Yu Ran standing in front of the wardrobe for a long time without making a move. He was itching to see what was going on, but he couldn't be too blatant. So he secretly moved his chair back and craned his neck to look over there, looking very gossipy.

Cen Yubai watched Gu Yao's actions, and looked at the neck that was stretched longer than a turtle's, and silently glanced away.

How come he didn't notice that Gu Yao was such a gossip?

However, her curious gaze still followed Gu Yao's as she looked towards Yu Ran, though not so blatantly.

Yu Ran stood in front of the pile of clothes resembling dried pickled vegetables for a long time before taking a deep breath, pulling out Chen Zhao's pajamas and underwear from the pile, and then slamming the wardrobe door shut.

Gu Yao quickly pulled his neck in, pulled up a chair, and sat down at the table.

Cen Yubai quickly turned around, sat down at the table, and silently opened the book, but he didn't even realize that the book was upside down.

What he had just witnessed had greatly shocked him.

He couldn't understand how anyone could pile clothes up like that.

To put it nicely, it's completely chaotic.

To put it bluntly, it was a terrible sight.

Summer clothes and winter coats were all mixed together, a complete mess, with a few socks mixed in as well.

It looks like there's no matching pair, only one sock is left.

Yu Ran clutched the clothes, pressed his brows together, and gently knocked on the door. "Chen Zhao, the clothes."

"No need, I'll just wear a towel when I go out."

The sound of water inside didn't even stop, and Chen Zhaoxian didn't realize the seriousness of the situation.

Gu Yao looked at Yu Ran's face and his expression darkened further.

He looked at the bathroom door and silently lit a candle for Chen Zhao in his heart.

Have a good trip, brother.
