RNP Chapter 28 Strange Speech
Chapter 28 Strange Speech
chapter 28
Meng Youcheng comforted Xu Zaixing for about half an hour before he finally stopped crying...
I didn't really try to comfort him; I just listened to him complain...
At that moment, the man felt an overwhelming pang of heartache for the boy. He felt that this young man had endured far too much, things he shouldn't have had to bear...
I never imagined that such a small body would have gone through so much!
He was truly kind and remorseful. In truth, this whole affair had absolutely nothing to do with him; it was all his second uncle's own fault. Yet, he took all the blame upon himself…
Meng Youcheng was heartbroken...
I never imagined my brother had endured so much!
After a long while, Xu Zaixing finally lifted his arm from Meng Youcheng's shoulder...
He wiped away his tears, looked at the man, and said, "Thank you, baby. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have anyone to confide in now. Thank you for appearing in my life and saving me..."
The man didn't seem to care about how he was addressed...
Instead, she patted him on the shoulder and continued to comfort him, "You're too kind. These things have nothing to do with you. You don't need to take it all on yourself. You should learn to let go..."
"Married man..."
The man looked at him; his eyes were red, as he had just shed tears, but it didn't affect his good looks...
"What's wrong?"
"Can I...give you a kiss?"
Meng Youcheng: "Huh?"
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't kiss you on the lips, I just kissed your cheek..."
The boy lowered his head, tears welling up again. "My father left me when I was 18. My second uncle has always taken good care of me; I consider him family, almost like a father to me. Now this has happened to him..."
"I'm really feeling terrible..."
"Then when I saw you, I felt a sense of familiarity. Could I kiss you, just on the cheek...?"
What a strange reason...
Even men sometimes can't quite grasp his logic...
What kind of bizarre logic is this?
but……
He's so heartbroken right now, if we reject his request he'll only be more heartbroken. And it's just a kiss on the cheek, what's the big deal?
We're all men, all good brothers, what does it matter?
Meng Youcheng laughed and said, "Sure, we're brothers anyway, a kiss won't hurt..."
"real?"
The boy suddenly looked up. "You... you agree?"
The man smiled at him. "As long as you don't get the wrong idea, I'm fine. I've kissed my roommate before, it's nothing, it's all normal..."
Xu Zaixing smirked, revealing his canine teeth, "Then I'll really go kiss you..."
The man smiled. "Go ahead and kiss me, it's nothing..."
The boy stepped forward and cupped his face in his hands...
Meng Youcheng chuckled, "It's just a normal kiss, why are you cupping my face? It feels weird..."
"Don't overthink it, I just feel...it feels right..."
The boy smiled, held his face still, and leaned in to kiss his cheek...
It was just a one-second touch; Meng Youcheng couldn't feel anything at all, it just felt normal.
Xu Zaixing reluctantly pulled away from his cheek...
The man looked at him. "How are you? Feeling any better?"
"If I could kiss you, I would feel so much better..."
"That won't do..."
The man broke free of his hands, laughing as he said, "This is my first kiss, just once. If it gets taken from me, I don't know how I'm going to explain it to my future partner..."
The boy wiped his eyes...
"Should I go change my clothes and then go to that lecture?"
"it is good."
……
"Is this friend of yours a good person?"
Xu Zaixing turned to look at him, pushed up his glasses, and said, "It's alright, I wouldn't call him a brother, just a regular friend. He often gives speeches, and I often go to attend them..."
"He's a relationship counselor who often gives lectures on the uses of love. I often go to listen, since I've never been in a relationship myself, so I just go to learn..."
As Meng Youcheng walked, he said, "A relationship counselor?"
"He's not anymore..."
"He enjoys this kind of knowledge, so he often tries to learn about it, but after all, he is the young master of the Tang Group, and his father thinks he is not doing his proper job, so he won't let him become a relationship counselor..."
"There's nothing I can do about it; all the young masters around me are like that—they have dreams, but they can't pursue them..."
"Later he agreed to take over his father's business, and he would hold a lecture every month, inviting us friends to listen occasionally, which was quite nice."
"Oh……"
Meng Youcheng nodded, seemingly understanding, "And you? Do you have a dream?"
The boy paused for a moment, then said, "Everyone has dreams, but they change as we get older. I used to want to be a pilot, to travel through space and explore the unknown..."
"After some things happened, things changed..."
"If you ask me what my goal is right now, it's that the person I love will always stay by my side!"
"You have someone you like?!"
The man looked at him, slightly shocked.
The boy turned to look at him and said, "Yes."
Meng Youcheng didn't ask any further questions and followed him into the lecture hall.
……
"Hello everyone, my surname is Tang, and my name is Tang Yan."
This was a large lecture hall, similar to a movie theater, filled with people. Xu Zaixing and Meng Youcheng sat in the first row...
The man on stage spoke eloquently, and when he looked down at the audience, he happened to see Xu Zaixing...
Xu waved his hand, and the other person responded with a smile, but there was no further interaction.
Tang Yan thought for a moment and said, "Everyone here is a young master earning millions a year. Boss, I have a question for you all: How does one become an excellent hunter?"
The audience was very quiet; no one spoke...
Tang Yan pointed to someone not far from him and said, "Mr. He, would you mind sharing your thoughts?"
Mr. He stood up without saying a word...
Tang Yan continued, "You're a hunter, and there's a very fat lamb in front of you. You really want to catch it. You earn millions a year, and let's say you have a hunting rifle. What would you do?"
Mr. He looked at him and said, "Go all in, shoot the lamb..."
"A 50% success rate is extremely risky..."
Mr. Tang continued, "Your gun might not hit the target every time, and it's very likely to scare the lamb away. The best way is to wear a sheepskin, blend in with them, befriend them, and only hunt them after they completely trust you..."
Mr. He smiled. "How can you be sure the other party will believe you? In their eyes, you'll always be just a lamb without a name?"
Tang Yan smiled. "This will test your ability to disguise yourself and your ability to lie. As for lying..."
"I suggest not to actually lie. For example, if I kill someone, you can say that I saw the murderer."
"To successfully hunt a lamb, you must learn to disguise yourself. But you are not a real lamb, and you will give yourself away. Don't rush to explain, because that's the best way to deceive him..."
"You can ask me a question. Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
"The other person will begin to ponder, and finally, after a long psychological struggle, they will deny your evil side."
As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold.
……
Meng Youcheng couldn't understand his implied meaning, nor did he grasp the significance of what he was saying...
However, he noticed that Xu Zaixing, who was sitting next to him, was listening exceptionally attentively…
Perhaps this is the difference between the poor and the rich.
I don't understand! I don't understand at all!
Perhaps they were discussing business matters, which is why he couldn't understand them, and even if he did, they didn't seem to hold much significance for him...
Suddenly, after a round of applause...
Tang Yan bowed slightly to them, "Thank you all for coming..."
As the people present gradually left, Meng Youcheng realized that the strange speech was over.
Xu Zaixing grabbed his hand. "Brother, let's say hello to my friend together?"
The man looked at him and smiled, "Okay..."
"Ah Xing..."
The two had just left the audience seats...
Tang Yan had already arrived in front of them. He looked Meng Youcheng up and down and asked, "Ah Xing, is this your boyfriend?"
Before Meng Youcheng could speak, Xu Zaixing smiled and said, "No."
"Excuse me, sir..."
Mr. Tang bowed to him, "Ah Xing, I've never brought anyone here before. You're the first, so I misunderstood. Please forgive me..."
Meng Youcheng smiled and said, "It's nothing."
……
Xu Zaixing and Mr. Tang didn't chat for long before saying goodbye...
Meng Youcheng and the boy sat on the bus, neither of them speaking...
【Ding dong! 】
Xu Zaixing's phone rang, and he took it out to look at it...
For reasons unknown, Meng Youcheng glanced at his phone; perhaps it was out of curiosity…
[Tang Yan: Is the other person straight?]
[Xu Zaixing: How did you know?]
[Tang Yan: I feel that I don't recommend you pretend, because pretending implies that the other person might have feelings for you...]
[Tang Yan: I suggest you just shoot. I know you like to fight prepared battles, but you've also done so many deals and taken many gambles. You need to have faith in yourself. Besides, in this situation, the chances of winning him over are very small, almost impossible...]
[Tang Yan: Direct coercion and bribery are the best methods!]
The boy hesitated, then looked up and bumped right into Meng Youcheng...
The man gave an awkward laugh. "I... ha..."
"Brother, can I ask you a question?"
"Can."
"I've liked someone for a long time, but he doesn't like me. What should I do? Should I gradually win him over, or should I use money and my current status to force him to be with me?"
