057

At this time, Jasmine was in her hometown visiting her grandmother.

While her grandmother was watering the flowers in the yard, the little girl next door let the cat out of the bag.

She asked eagerly, "Grandma, grandma, who is Jasmine really dating?"

"Nobody."

"Not Yu yang, Chi yang, LBen, Andrew Yan , none of these male gods caught her eye? She's wasting such resources!"

Jasmine was inside the house, not deaf, how could she not hear?

She leisurely walked to the door, munching on the Fuji apple her grandmother bought, and looked at the little girl next door who just started junior high, "Who has time for dating when you're building a career? Focus on studying, stop gossiping about your sister."

The girl clenched her fists, "It's not gossip, it's envy. Do you know how many people envy you nationwide? My classmates wish they could dress like you and date the big brothers, but you're clueless!"

Jasmine asked her, "Does your classmate like Yu Yang?"

"Yeah, she bought a lot of products endorsed by Yu Yang endorses just to get his autograph. She even bought ten copies of a magazine for twenty dollars each."

"....Wow, she's loaded."

Jasmine took a bite of an apple and asked, "Who do you like?"

"My husband Ben!"

Jasmine: ...

"Can someone like him still attract fans?"

The girl held her face dreamily and said, "Being rich and good-looking isn't the top choice for marriage, right?"

"It's too early to think about that, and even if you want to get married, you can't choose him. How many girlfriends does he change every year?" Jasmine solemnly told the girl next door, "Stop dreaming of becoming like me. It's useless. Your brothers are very smart. If they sense you have feelings for him, they'll delete you as a friend in a second."

The look in the girl next door's eyes was so desperate.

"Sis Jas, are you an oblivious straight woman?"

"Oblivious straight woman?"

"It means you never see when someone likes you. Even if they find all kinds of excuses to get close to you, you take it seriously. For example, if a boy messages you on QQ asking what gift a girl should get for her birthday, you won't even consider why he's asking you."

"No, I hardly use QQ now."

Girl next door: ...

So hopeless.

Is the focus of this conversation on QQ???

Forget it, no need to verify, she really is so oblivious.

"Which one do you think is better, Yu Yang or Chi Yan?"

"They're both good."

"No comparison?"

"Yu Yang is more playful, Chi Yan is more mysterious."

"Mysterious?"

"I still can't figure out why he gave me that smart dishwasher last year."

The girl next door got hooked on talking to her, still asking questions. Jasmine said, "That's it for today. Listen to my advice: 'Flowers bloom and butterflies come naturally. Your excellence will attract excellent people. Stop wasting time on useless things. When your brother says 'I love you' during a livestream, do you really think he's confessing to you? Even when he says 'I love you' to me, I think he's joking."

Jasmine effortlessly chatted the day away, watched the girl next door walk home with a sense of lingering resentment.

She thought that was enough, but later during dinner, her grandmother brought up the topic of love and marriage, asking Jasmine what she thought.

"Your mother was introduced to me by someone. I don't think that's reliable. You should be more careful."

Jasmine didn't respond, just focused on eating.

Grandma continued, "Don't look for someone in the entertainment industry, okay? Look at how busy you've been these past two years. If you find someone even busier than you, will you even see each other all year round? How will he take care of you?"

She was being subtle in her words.

In Grandma's opinion, it's best not to date a celebrity, and if you must, avoid actors. If her granddaughter is so clueless, how would she know if he's using acting as an excuse to see other girls behind her back?

"Grandma, let's not talk about this...I can't answer that. I haven't thought about it. I'm doing fine now, why would I need a boyfriend to take care of me? Who doesn't have an assistant these days?"

"I'm just worried about you."

Jasmine smiled, "If my mom can relax and reincarnate, do you really need to worry?"

Later, Jasmine complained to Yu Yang that when she got home, she found out that her neighbors were all concerned about who she was dating.

Yu Yang said, "You're lucky. My mom, aunt, and grandma all agree. They all say Jasmine is great, beautiful, and acts well. They even ask me why I'm not pursuing you."

"...Auntie likes me that much?"

"Of course. She's your loyal fan. She loves watching your dramas. I go home to rest for just a couple of days a year, and she still makes me rewatch your palace drama with her."

Seeing Yu Yang in such a pitiful state made Jasmine feel much happier.

Maybe this is something everyone in the industry has to deal with...

You can enjoy the scenery outside as much as you want, but when you come back, you have to face this heavy concern. Jasmine asked him how he managed to handle his family number.

"I told her that your family and Ben's family are on the same level. After she understood the background of Ben's family, she realized that I was not worthy."

Jasmine sighed, "Just say it's not a big deal."

"...Oh, so you want to see my mom nod and ask me to pursue you?"

"No, no need."

At this point, they were chatting happily. Two days later, Yu Yang left his hometown and returned to his home in Shanghai. He saw the gift box placed at the entrance and remembered.

Earlier, when he had his birthday, Dog Sister couldn't attend, but said she had sent a gift.

The gift was, of course, sent to the house, but Yu Yang wasn't at home. After many days, he finally saw it. He threw his luggage aside, picked up the box, sat on the living room sofa, untied the ribbon, and opened it to see...

A completely scrambled custom ten-layer Rubik's cube lay on beige shredded paper, with a heart-shaped note attached, saying: [Blessings on the Rubik's cube, solve it, you can do it, brother ^_^].

...

...

Yu Yang stared expressionlessly at it for about half a minute, then took out his phone and took four photos.

One with the box closed, one with it open, a close-up of the note and the ten-layer Rubik's cube.

Yu Yang V:

"Today I opened the birthday gift that Dog Sister sent me before, feels like my whole year ahead will collapse with this gift.

[Pic] [Pic] [Pic] [Pic] [Pic]"

Five pictures, four of them close-ups of the gift, and one showing Yu Yang's poker face.

Fans didn't sympathize but found it amusing.

-- "Giving me a jigsaw puzzle in return, responding with a Rubik's cube, touching, really touching."

-- "If this happens again, I suggest brother not to come to Facebook to complain, you have to face the consequences."

-- "Oh my, I love this kind of plot so much, brother, you must know how it feels to receive such a surprise, right?"

-- "Thank you, Teacher Jasmine, now I suddenly know how to deal with that steel straight guy at home."

-- "Hahaha, this Rubik's cube is a hundred times more advanced than what my son plays with, how expensive is it?"

-- "After all, it's a special custom model. Brother, I suggest you dismantle it, I don't think you can solve it."

Yu Yang thought that the fans would stand firmly behind him and help him denounce the unkind Dog Sister.

But the fans just laughed.

When asked how to deal with this, they all said not to attempt solving it but to dismantle it directly!

Would Yu Yang listen to them?

Of course not.

At a critical moment, he remembered that Chi Yan seemed to have a hidden interest in Dog Sister, so he was definitely curious about the blessings she sent. To find her, touch her heart, and mess with her head.

From that day on, he had his assistant take the Rubik's cube with him wherever he went, and finally, they met at an awards ceremony.

Even if they attended the same event, they wouldn't sit together.

Yu Yang went to switch seats and sat next to Chi Yan, taking out a Rubik's cube. He nudged Chi Yan with his elbow, "Buddy, can you help me with this?"

"?"

"Can you solve this for me?"

Chi Yan looked down at the Rubik's cube, "Isn't this what she gave you? It would be more sincere if you tried to solve it yourself."

Unable to resist, Yu Yang rolled his eyes, "If I could solve it, would I even bother going to Tsinghua University? You're good at puzzles, right? Come on, help me out."

Yu Yang handed him the Rubik's cube, and Chi Yan started solving it in front of the live broadcast camera.

Chi Yan had a good brain, but he hadn't studied this before. The first one he got his hands on was a ten-layer Rubik's cube, which was very challenging. Especially since Jasmine seemed to have a deep grudge with Yu Yang, she messed up the Rubik's cube, making it look very scattered, with all six sides looking equally complex.

Despite this, Yu Yang was muttering on the side, saying you don't have to solve all six sides at once, it's much simpler to look at them one by one, isn't it?

Chi yan didn't even lift his head, telling him it wouldn't be much simpler. A normal Rubik's Cube can indeed have many ways to be solved by just solving one side. This one is custom-made, with content on each side, not sure what it is before solving, the difficulty is seriously off the charts.

He said with his mouth, his hands didn't stop rotating, as if planning to first move the same-color pieces to one side, then adjust.

Chi yan was turning his head seriously, while Yuyang, this scheming guy, looked at it for a few moments, then smiled and faced the camera.

So, what happened?

Every time the camera came over, the two top stars sitting side by side were doing their own things seriously, one focused on the competition, the other helping the opponent.

The Chi yan's fan sisters was almost crying with anger, venting her frustration towards Yu yang through the barrage.

-- "Is this the Rubik's Cube that Jasmine gave to Yu yang and Yu yang is trying to trick us since he can't solve it???"

-- "Bro Chi is so nice, he didn't refuse it. Who dares to give me one of these things at the event, I'll beat him on the spot."

-- "Emmm... is Chi yan that easy to talk to?"

-- "Kid, you should reject him! Just reject him without giving face!"

-- "You fell for this scheming guy, Bro Chi helped him solve the Rubik's Cube the whole time, didn't grab a single shot, I'm so mad!"

The Chi yan's fan sisters was furious, but Chi yan didn't know, after his mind started working, he forgot about everything else.

Yu yang glanced at the silly beside him, remembered to send a message to his dog sister.

[Sis, are you watching the awards ceremony live broadcast?]

[Quick, watch it!]

[Come to watch it immediately!]

Jasmine thought it was time for him to receive the award, so he took the tablet to watch, but to his surprise, when he arrived, he saw Yuyang smiling smiling smiling and Chiyu focused on solving the Rubik's Cube.

Jasmine:...

-- [Can't you be normal???]

Yu yang, receiving this message, smiled even more brightly, feeling satisfied and self-assured.

Then, Chi yan's name was called on stage.

The proud dog brother, who had been on cloud nine all night, was now embarrassed, watching his opponent stand up and walk to the stage with the ten-layer Rubik's Cube.

The scene erupted in laughter.

Jasmine wished he could dig a hole and bury herself.

-- [What kind of devil are you?]

[You didn't even comfort me for not winning the award? You're so mean.]

-- [Serves you right.]

-- [Serves you right, serves you right, serves you right.]

[...]

[My heart is tired, broken, you don't love me, you even favor Chi yan over me!]

*

Holding the Rubik's Cube, Chi yan went up on stage to receive the award and was teased by the host and presenters. After coming down from the stage, Yu yang asked him, "What did your dog sister give you for your birthday before?"

"A book."

For a moment, Yu yang couldn't decide which was more frustrating, a book or a Rubik's Cube.

The live broadcast camera kept focusing on them, and Jasmine's scolding didn't affect Yu yang at all, so she switched to targeting Chi yan with two messages --

[Don't cheat for Yu yang.]

[Look at the camera, stop solving it.]

Chi yan felt his phone vibrating in his pocket, taking it out, he saw the messages.

He first looked at the camera, then handed the Rubik's Cube back to Yu yang.

Yu yang: "...Didn't solve it?"

Chi yan sincerely apologized to him, "Go back and check the guide to solve it yourself, I don't want to upset Jasmine."

"She already invited the reinforcements! That puzzle was solved by Andrew Yan for her."

Chi yan thought for a moment, "Anyway, I won't solve it, why don't you go find Andrew Yan?"

... ...

...

This wasn't a joke, right? Really not a joke? Yu yang was considering whether Chi yan was scheming against him or naturally dark.

He saw Chi yan lower his head to reply to the message. The profile picture showed him talking to his dog sister.

The reply was: [Don't be angry, I've scattered it and returned it to him.]

Yu yang: ...

Damn.
