Let's Squander A Billion First!

“Brother Ye, was the girl who sent you here our goddess?”

Ye Chen gave them a cold stare and the two people who were pinning him down instantly chickened out.

“What are you scared of? We have three people on our side so he can’t possibly win against us. Pin him down properly! If you don’t give us a reasonable explanation, don’t even think of making us let go of you.” said the guy who was standing in the front.

Upon hearing his words, the other two guys immediately followed his lead.

Ye Chen raised his foot to kick the person on the side before twisting his body as he pinned the other person to the door.

He had not been slacking for the past few years. Although his martial arts were not very good, it was still enough to hit them.

“Aiya!”

“Brother Ye, stop hitting.”

“We were wrong, we were wrong.”

The room seemed as if it had been turned upside down.

Ye Chen let go of them and walked back to his seat before turning on his computer.

His three roommates went up to him again. “Brother Ye, you have not answered my question.”

Ye Chen glanced at him. “Hmm.”

The three roommates winked and made signs to one another. “I knew it. There aren’t many who drive luxury cars to school and the only person who will change a car every month could only be her.”

“Brother Ye, which stage of the relationship are you guys in?”

Ye Chen typed on his keyboard as he refused to answer their question.

“Brother Ye… it couldn’t be that you have not…”

“Aiya, Brother Ye, you may not be worried, but we are worried for you. After all, it is our lifelong wish for you to marry into the purple.”

Ye Chen raised his deep and dark eyes. “Marry into the purple? Hmm?”

His three roommates immediately got frightened and hurriedly massaged his shoulders and legs. “Our Brother Ye will be wealthy in the future. Hahaha! We were spouting nonsense just now. Nonsense.”

Ye Chen pushed away his computer. “Are you done with your stuff? Have you guys prepared the documents needed for the meeting two days later?”

“Of course, Brother Ye. You can count on us.” One of the boys patted his chest as a sign of assurance.

Whenever they were talking about serious matters, these people were still quite serious in their work.

After they had finished their discussion, one of the roommates linked the topic back. “Brother Ye, you really don’t want to marry into the purple?”

“There are many wooing our goddess and I even saw someone giving flowers to our goddess before.”

Ye Chen looked at him and the guy immediately said, “Relax, our goddess didn’t accept it.”

“Brother Ye, it’s not that we want to nag at you, but you have known her for so long and as the saying goes the pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first! If you don’t make a move soon, your goddess would really become somebody else’s goddess.”

“You may not be worried, but even bystanders like us feel worried for you.”

Ye Chen massaged his temples and said, “She doesn’t seem to feel something for me.”

He had tested the waters many times.

His three roommates immediately sat in front of Ye Chen and stared at him as though they were judging him in a court. “Have you confessed to her?”

Ye Chen shook his head.

But he has hinted before…

“If you have not even confessed, how do you know that our goddess does not like you?”

“Brother Ye, girls are meant to be wooed. You didn’t even do anything, you can’t possibly expect her to woo you, right?”

“Our goddess is also not those common ladies, you need to take initiative, do you understand?”

“We can help you think of a plan and your confession will definitely be a success.”

“Chuzheng, someone’s looking for you.” Father Ji knock onto Chuzheng’s door while carrying a book in his hands. “He seems to be your school’s senior.”

“It’s so late, I am not seeing him.”

Father Ji was stumped.

‘As her father, I didn’t even mind it, why didn’t she want to see him?’

“Cough cough, people came to find you at your house, why don’t you take a look? Perhaps there’s something urgent he needs to talk to you about?” In the past, he was worried that she would create trouble outside, but now, she would always come home after school, turning it into a routine of hers. Furthermore, she did not even want to attend any banquets as she said it was too troublesome. Upon seeing this circumstance, Father Ji was getting worried that she would lose contact with the world.

In the end, Chuzheng could not take Father Ji’s nagging anymore and went down stairs.

She had seen the person waiting in the living room twice, he was Ye Chen’s roommate.

“Junior.” His roommate greeted her as he smiled sheepishly.

“Something’s wrong with Ye Chen?”

‘She’s so worried for Ye Chen, does she like him?’ “No, cough cough, I mean… Ye Chen has the flu and said that he wants to see you so I came here to bring you over.”

He decided to dupe her and think of a plan later.

Chuzheng sized him up. “You’re lying.”

Roommate:

“About that, actually Ye Chen has something to tell you.” His roommate said, “I am scared that you won’t go so I lied to you.”

“He can call me.” Calling saved time, energy and was very convenient.

Can this even be made clear through a phone?

“Aiyo, just come with me, please.” His roommate begged her with his hands clasped together. “I beg you.”

Chuzheng was not very willing, but since this concerned Ye Chen who still held the ‘Friendzoned card’, she could only follow him.

The roommate brought her to a remote street and there was not a single soul on it.

There were candles placed on the walkway and it seemed to be guiding her to continue walking ahead.

Ahead, the candlelight swayed under the starry night sky as a handsome-looking boy stood in the middle of a heart that was decorated with candles with a bouquet of flowers in his hands. His deep eyes seemed to be filled with the light from the candles.

Ye Chen was a little nervous.

He took a deep breath as he saw Chuzheng walking closer before saying slowly, “Do you still remember this place?”

Chuzheng did not answer.

‘Why would I remember that?’

‘I am so busy with becoming a prodigal, how would I have the time to remember all of this?’

“This was the place we met each other that day,” said Ye Chen.

Ye Chen gazed into Chuzheng’s eyes. “In the beginning, I thought you were just fooling me. I mean how can somebody like you suddenly save me out of kindness and hence I became wary of you. But in the end, it was proven that I had thought too much.”

“But even till today, I still didn’t know why you helped me back then.”

“I also didn’t know why you would treat me so well. If it wasn’t for you… I won’t even know what I will be doing now.”

Ye Chen paused and gave himself a mental encouragement before passing the bouquet of flowers to her.

“Ji Chuzheng, I like you! Will you become my girlfriend?”

He finally said it.

Ye Chen’s heart raced as he waited for the girl’s reply while holding his breath.

The girl had her eyes fixed on him and the word ‘no’ had almost spat out from her mouth.

[Little miss, if you reject him, I think he might be tainted for you.]King warned Chuzheng, [He may look normal but there’s a devil in his heart.]

Chuzheng:

‘So I can’t reject him?’

[Little miss, think about your friendzone mission. If you don’t complete it, you can’t leave this universe and you have to repeatedly experience this universe.]

Chuzheng:

Which imbecile designed this system!

‘Little miss is so fierce.’

Chuzheng reached out to accept the bouquet of flowers and suddenly a few people jumped out of nowhere and sprinkled petals at them while cheering.

Ye Chen was in disbelief and took a long time to come out of his daze as he pulled Chuzheng into his embrace.

‘She agreed to be my girlfriend.’

‘Does this mean she would marry me soon?’

“Kiss her, kiss her!”

“Quickly, kiss her.”

Ye Chen let go of Chuzheng and looked at her carefully, but Chuzheng placed the flowers between them as she clearly rejected the kiss.

Ye Chen was a little disappointed, but did not give it much thought as what he had the most was the time to take it slow.
