In the case of the system,

System: Something seems off with Ye Bufan in the previous chapter.

Main God: Hmph, of course! When someone who has always been important to themselves suddenly starts to value someone else, anyone would naturally feel heartbroken!

System: Although what you said makes sense, is this strategy appropriate for Ye Bufan?

Main God: Of course, it is suitable. After all, Non-Fan is also a human!

[System: ...I don't want to talk to brainless fans.]

When Xǔ Ānnán was helping Lú Yú tidy up his clothes, he heard the sound of the door closing. He suddenly had a bad premonition, so he let Lú Yú finish tidying up and rest properly. Then he went out, but there was no sign of Yè Bùfán in the living room.

On the tea table, snacks were still piled up messily in bags, but in one corner, a key sat calmly, as if engaged in a silent confrontation.

The backpack on the sofa was also gone, and he didn't know what was inside the bag. But when he returned to the master bedroom and found that Yexiaofan's clothes were not there as he imagined, he had a guess. Yexiaofan's shoes, belonging to him near the entrance, were also missing. Various signs were telling Xu Annan that Yexiaofan had left. The usually gentle and calm man showed a rare expression of unease, so he immediately called Yexiaofan's phone.

The ringing sound lasted for a long time before someone answered. Without waiting for the young man to explain, Xu Annan impatiently asked, "Where have you been this late at night? And... why were you carrying my bag?"

The other party hung up the phone directly.

Xu Annan hesitated for a moment and called again, but the person on the other end didn't answer.

Lu Yu came out cautiously and asked, "What happened, Brother Ye?"

Xu Annan smiled at the young man and said, "It's alright, you should rest quickly."

Lu Yu didn't dare to ask further, but he had a faint feeling that he had done something wrong. When Ye Bufan said "live together," he was a little happy, but now that happiness had completely vanished. He could sense Xu Annan's restlessness, but didn't know what he should do.

Xu Annan persisted in making phone calls without giving up. The other party continuously refused to answer, and eventually even shut off their phone directly.

At that moment, Xu Annan, in a fit of self-abandonment, thought: What is he going to do again?

Tao Lin's residence is a high-end apartment. When the investor received a phone call from Ye Bufan, he rushed over in a hurry. He was startled to find the young man squatting on the side of the road like an abandoned large dog. There was a sudden sense of a god who didn't belong to the mortal world, being tarnished by the dust. It gave him a hidden sense of pleasure.

However, the young man raised an eyebrow as he looked at him and said, "Oh, playing, huh? Did I disturb you?"

He did come rushing over from the bar, and in order to prevent the young man from noticing, he hurriedly changed into a different set of clothes, ensuring that he appeared more normal. Unexpectedly, the young man turned out to be so sharp.

Ye Bufan smiled narrowly at him and said, "Which beauty is that? She's quite attractive." He touched his own neck, and Tao Lin reflexively glanced at the rearview mirror, seeing a fresh red lip print on his neck.

Tao Lin: "..."

(Note: In English, quotation marks are used to indicate direct speech, so even though there are no actual words spoken in the Chinese original, I have still included quotation marks in the translation to maintain clarity.)

After all, Ye Bufan had been immersed in the entertainment industry for ten years and had seen everything. When he had a separate discussion with Tao Lin that day, he could feel the other person's intentions towards him. The reason he did not outright refuse was because Ye Bufan understood a principle: "What you can't have is the best." He also did not hide his intention to play with people, and Tao Lin was willing to take the bait—an typical case of "willing to fight and willing to bear the consequences."

While tidying up the guest room for the young man, Tao Lin couldn't help but ask, "Haven't you been living with your agent all this time? Why didn't you go back today?"

Ye Bufan fell silent for a moment before finally saying, "If we don't show him our strength, I'm afraid he will become too arrogant."

Tao Lin: WTF???
