Chapter 208 Prejudice
Chapter 208 Prejudice
"Do you think I have a problem right now?" Cheng Yanqing asked in return.
He Jinye's smile was teasing: "If you really didn't have a problem, you wouldn't have asked me that."
Cheng Yanqing: "..."
He rubbed his temples: "...I don't know how to tell you."
Hearing this, He Jinye reacted even more strongly: "What you said really hurts me. Don't you think I'm more useful than a psychologist? You actually went to see a doctor directly and wouldn't even talk to me?"
"Especially when it comes to matters of the heart, I'm an expert, very reliable."
Cheng Yanqing looked at him: "That's why I don't want to talk to you."
"Furthermore, you investigated her without my permission. You've gone too far. This is my private matter."
He Jinye shrugged: "Sorry, sorry, but if you're willing to tell me, of course I won't investigate her on my own."
How can someone be so shameless as to say it's their fault?
Cheng Yanqing stared at him intently: "There will be no next time."
He Jinye smiled and nodded: "I'll try my best~"
Cheng Yanqing: "..." He didn't say anything more.
He Jinye sat down casually again; he just didn't want to lie.
Although he has many friends, this is the only one he can truly be considered a close confidant with whom he has absolutely no reservations.
He still cherishes it.
So sometimes, even if he knows his methods are wrong, he will still use them to achieve his goal.
Unless you really cross the other party's bottom line.
He Jinye: "Don't think I'm a terrible person. You care about her so much, of course I wouldn't do anything excessive."
"I only investigated some of her life information. I was just worried that someone might deliberately approach you."
“I didn’t do anything else. I didn’t even send anyone to monitor her.”
"You'll see when you see it. I'm a law-abiding citizen."
He Jinye suddenly took out a document and handed it over.
Cheng Yanqing did not take it immediately: "There is no need for that."
"What's wrong? Are you worried that if she finds out you've looked at her profile, her impression of you will suffer?"
"No one else will know except me."
"Besides, how can you prove my innocence if you don't look at it? I really only investigated some ordinary information."
"You never know, there might be a surprise! Don't you want to know her better?"
Cheng Yanqing eventually took it.
"That's more like it. Considering I worked so hard to contribute this data, could you give me another 1% discount on the project our two companies are collaborating on?" He Jinye said, making an exorbitant demand.
"impossible."
"You really do separate public and private matters."
Cheng Yanqing didn't speak again, but looked down at the information on the first page. On the left was a recent photo of him, and he frowned subconsciously: "Didn't you say there was no surveillance?"
He Jinye glanced at it: "That photo wasn't taken by someone. Her roommate uploaded it openly on social media. I have many similar photos, but I just cropped out her roommate's picture."
Cheng Yanqing continued looking down, and the first column showed her real name: Zhang Xiaoyu.
It really is called a small fish.
Height: 163cm, Weight: 48.2kg, Blood type: B.
She also has her favorite foods, favorite colors, and various hobbies.
There's even the hospital where she was born and her birth weight.
And various information about family members.
"You've seen them all?"
He Jinye: "Keep looking at the next picture. The one of her when she first started kindergarten is quite cute."
Cheng Yanqing had intended to stop, but after a pause, she couldn't help but turn to the next page.
The little girl with two small pigtails seemed particularly shy, hiding behind her family and only showing half of her face, looking both scared and curious.
so cute.
"Hey, if I didn't know you, I would really think you have some kind of weird fetish for staring at a picture of a three-year-old girl like that."
Cheng Yanqing frowned: "If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. It's disgusting."
"Okay, I admit I went too far. Actually, I was just a little curious because you really watched for a long time."
"Not long."
"You've been staring at her for almost a minute now without realizing it. Have you almost counted how many little yellow ducks are on her skirt?"
"..."
Cheng Yanqing closed the documents, showing no intention of returning them to He Jinye.
"Aren't you going to watch it anymore? Or do you want to watch it secretly by yourself?"
"Why aren't you saying anything? I'm all ready to listen to your troubles. You really don't treat me like a good friend at all."
Cheng Yanqing glanced at him helplessly: "I just hope you can do something normal and say something normal."
"Okay, let's have a serious heart-to-heart talk then."
He Jinye smiled and pointed to the document on the coffee table: "I have good news for you. She is still single and seems to have never been in a relationship."
"However, there's also bad news: it seems like she has quite a few fans. Just like you, it seems like the big spenders in her live stream all have their own agendas."
"You were her first big brother before, and you even stayed at the top of her overall rankings for a long time. People still mention you from time to time."
Cheng Yanqing lowered his eyes slightly, feeling a strange mix of emotions. But ever since he replied to her on his phone, he hadn't received any more messages from her.
He didn't dare to look at her again, afraid that he would lose control of his emotions.
So I've been patient and patient until now.
It feels like a very, very long time has passed.
Many things are very simple for him.
But this is the only thing he restrains himself from doing, whether he is tired, bored, or resting at night. He restrains and endures it at any time.
You fill all your free time and your mind with work, but there will still be uncontrollable gaps.
I suddenly thought of her.
Perhaps she still remembers me, or perhaps she has forgotten me; to her, I was just a passerby.
He wanted to return to his previous life, which, although mostly boring, was within his control.
But I also have a vague feeling that there's no going back.
It was simply because he suddenly encountered someone.
It made him feel that certain parts of him were no longer like him.
"I'm telling you, if you really like her, why don't you just be with her? Why do you look so scared?"
Cheng Yanqing glanced at him: "I'm not like you, treating matters of the heart as simply and casually as drinking water."
"Moreover, they are different."
He had witnessed how He Jinye treated his girlfriends; He Jinye was always the one in control.
Moreover, it often seems like they just need a member of the opposite sex, rather than because they like them.
It's different from my own situation.
"Wow, what you're saying makes it sound like I'm a jerk. Every relationship I've had has been consensual and quite enjoyable. If I'm not happy, I just break up with him."
"Why are you all so prejudiced against me? Does being devoted mean only liking one person from beginning to end? But how can I know who I like the most if I don't experience more?" He Jinye said aggrievedly.
Cheng Yanqing: "..." Isn't this just the kind of thing a philandering scumbag would say?
