Chapter 476 Going with the flow, changing course with the wind
“He’s not listening to me; he’s just going with the flow and changing his course with the wind.”
“That’s a pretty good description. No wonder he’s the kind of guy who got involved with Fu Sizhou…” Ye Sanqing recalled Lu Mingye’s reaction and said, “Even if you were in his shoes, I reckon he would have done the same thing.”
"Wait a minute, what does Fu Sizhou need?"
Ye Yifan was shocked once again.
"?"
Ye Sanqing was shocked by her reaction. "You didn't know? He doesn't like women, and he's having an affair with Fu Sizhou."
She had genuinely assumed Ye Yifan knew this, so she hadn't mentioned it.
"If I had known, I would have told you when I had the information. It's not that I deliberately kept it from you."
Ye Yifan had a slight headache, so he stood up and poured himself a glass of wine. "Want some?"
Ye Sanqing nodded and took the wine glass from her hand.
So this hardly resembles a hospital break room...
"You mean he kept it a secret in all his previous reincarnations?"
After taking a sip of wine, Ye Yifan's shock subsided somewhat.
"Yes, I don't usually pay attention to this kind of gossip. I don't care unless it's a player trying to woo him. Besides, I have no right to interfere with the choices players make. But now that you mention it, I feel like he doesn't always have this sexual orientation in every round."
Ye Yifan recalled, "Either he was really good at acting, or the game progressed to a certain playthrough and everyone underwent a transformation, no longer resembling their initial state from the first playthrough or the initial setup."
“Quantitative change can really lead to qualitative change? Actually, when Xiao Sheng mentioned Mu Zimo's situation before, I also had some doubts. It seems that Gong Yao's situation is not unique to her.”
"So, the characters are gradually starting to have their own will?"
Ye Yifan glanced at the doorway as he spoke, "That's right, otherwise his reaction wouldn't have been so strong."
Ye Sanqing knew she was referring to what happened to Sheng Luoxin, and this could be incorporated into the current speculation.
"This is great news for us."
"Yes, if awakening one's own will is a major trend, then we are the ones going with the flow."
"Regarding Lu Mingye, I previously speculated that the author didn't write it well. Giving him such a family background and expecting him not to be misogynistic was basically impossible. So his orientation evolved, which seems quite normal."
Besides him, there's Lu Wangshen, who hates everyone equally, and Lu Wangqian, whom everyone hates equally...
That does fit the twins' premise quite well.
"It's hard to say whether his situation reflects his own will or is a plot device used to complete the story for the sake of logical consistency. But if you say his fate has been altered, then his own will has won."
"The game's current approach to completing the storyline is to create a suspension bridge effect for me; if I'm in the same location as him, I'm more likely to be attacked."
Ye Sanqing sneered, "If I would fall in love with the creatures around me when I encounter danger, then I would have fallen in love with my chimera long ago. How laughable."
After she discovered that this was a corrective measure by the game system, she was no longer worried about attacks.
An attack might normally be life-threatening, but if it's meant to deepen their relationship, then it's definitely not dangerous. Otherwise, if someone dies, wouldn't it be a tragic ending?
Although double death is a kind of happy ending, it probably won't happen in this game.
So why not use Lu Mingye as a shield instead?
The usability of this shield still needs further investigation.
"So what exactly does Fu Sizhou have to do with this...?"
Ye Yifan recalled, and then he understood somewhat, "No wonder Fu Sizhou's rise to power was so smooth, it turns out he had someone behind him. What is this between them, the mutual redemption of villains?"
"Not only that, but Lu Wangshen is also involved in their entanglement. This kid deliberately kept it from you; he has a conspiracy."
Ye Sanqing said.
Judging from Lu Wangshen's appearance, he clearly knew everything but deliberately caused trouble. Otherwise, why would he bite Lu Mingye in front of Fu Sizhou?
He's just taking advantage of the fact that the other party can't do anything to him, and he's just making fun of the two of them.
“I know he has a scheme, otherwise he wouldn’t be him. Although this matter is not that important, it is really not right to keep it from me.”
As Ye Yifan spoke, he sent a message to Lu Wangshen.
[Please let us know when we're attending Lu Mingye and Fu Sizhou's wedding.]
I knew she wouldn't hide it from you.
Ye Yifan showed the message to Ye Sanqing. "He's always like this, acting like 'I predicted your prediction and you predicted mine,' without providing any useful information. It's so annoying. That's why I really don't like talking to him."
Ye Sanqing laughed and said, "His personality combined with his abilities is quite good. In the past, I would have given him an important position in the think tank. But for now, forget it."
"They're having an affair, it can't be true love, right?" Although he also felt that it was unlikely given their personalities, Ye Yifan still asked.
As for Ye Sanqing's remarks about the past, she was no longer surprised.
“I would call it a ‘deeper partnership’.”
Ye Sanqing said meaningfully.
"As expected..." Ye Yifan could easily understand this without it being said explicitly. "Fu Sizhou is ruthless too. I understand now."
"Putting aside the limitations of the plot, Lu Mingye is also a ruthless person, but he just showed a very cooperative attitude in front of me."
"He can even suppress his instinctive aversion to women, which shows that he is very cunning and has big plans."
"I know it's all an illusion, in fact we all know it's an illusion, but so what? We'll just keep playing along. All I have to give up is a little bit of gossip. Although I don't seem to gain anything on the surface, it ultimately helps the real plan."
Ye Sanqing analyzed, "He himself belongs to the reformist faction of the Lu family and does not have any black market businesses, so he is weak in the Lu family. Therefore, he has to cooperate with Lu Wangshen, who has some dirty business. That's not enough. After Fu Sizhou came to power, he also became an external force that he could rely on, so that he could gain a foothold."
"It's true that his father, Lu Dingzuo, holds the reins of the Lu family now, but the two aren't on the same page. I think Lu Dingzuo is still using the old tricks: outwardly whitewashing his image while secretly making money through illegal means. But at least he's a force that Lu Mingye can rely on."
"Lend me your power... It sounds like something out of a shonen manga..." Ye Yifan laughed, "But it's also reasonable. If I were in his position, I would also need to borrow all the power I could."
"Yes, so he probably wanted to eliminate other shady forces a long time ago, but just didn't have a reason to do so. Moreover, Lu Wangqian's sudden return is both a pressure and an opportunity for him. He just happened to use the pretext of pursuing me to start making his move."
Ye Sanqing also said with a smile, "If my name is so useful, then I don't mind him using it more."
