Wait, why is this blond guy a lolicon?

Chapter 256 Male Best Friend

"You're Ye Chen?"

To be honest, Lan Xinlan didn't feel close to Ye Chen and didn't know why he liked her.

Besides, I always felt that the way he looked at me was strange.

Besides, Ye Chen's appearance doesn't fit Alan's aesthetic standards.

Compared to Jiang Ling, Ye Chen, with his handsome looks and smirking smile, is at least more appealing.

He's considered disabled.

Ye Chen quickly tidied his hair, then grinned crookedly, "I've come all this way to bother you, thank you so much..."

Alan was speechless, and really wanted to nod and say, "Yeah, since you know you're troubling me, you should hurry up and go home."

But when he met his mother's fixed gaze, the words that were about to come out took a detour and turned into dry, polite formalities:

"Oh, no trouble at all. Uh, hello, my name is Lan Xinlan."

Ye Chen felt an even greater fondness for Alan, and murmured:

"Is it social anxiety?"

"That further proves that she is unlikely to find a boyfriend or have any intention of dating early on."

He couldn't help but take a few more glances, thinking to himself, "She's such a clean and pure girl, completely different from those ordinary, vulgar women out there."

In that instant, his possessiveness burned even brighter, and he secretly vowed to get his hands on this woman.

However, Ye Chen didn't rush over to strike up a greasy conversation.

In his view, pursuing girls.

The most skillful technique is called "feigning indifference to lure the enemy into a trap".

So he grinned crookedly, feigning nonchalance, and said casually, "I only came here today to see what my fiancée looks like, nothing more. Now that my mission is accomplished, it's time to return to the Ye family."

After saying that, he glanced at Alan indifferently, gave another crooked smile, put his hands in his pockets, and turned to leave.

Grandpa Lan Yuan and Alan's parents rushed forward to stop him, but he pushed them away without hesitation: "I'm sorry, Uncle and Aunt, I have to go back and deal with more important matters."

What's so important?

Ye Chen didn't know either, as long as he could show that "yes, I like you but I don't care about you," that would be enough.

In this way, Alan will definitely become curious about him—wait, didn't he travel all the way back to Great Xia for me?

Why did you turn around and leave?

Then, little by little, she got to know him, and eventually fell in love with him...

"Hahahaha, I, King Ye Chen, am truly the greatest lover in the world!" Ye Chen thought to himself, feeling incredibly pleased with himself, and his steps even became a little unsteady.

"Hey, Ye Chen, why don't you chat with our Alan a bit, help them bond!" Madam Lan anxiously grabbed his hand, then glared at Alan, "Come here quickly and talk to Ye Chen properly!"

Alan just pursed his lips, showing no intention of moving an inch.

She really didn't want to have any contact with anyone other than Jiang Ling.

As the saying goes, how could a woman who has been loved by a lion possibly be interested in a stray dog?

Besides, she's not the kind of woman who starts something and then abandons it, nor can she be like Jiang Ling, wanting to have her cake and eat it too...

All she wanted was to protect Jiang Ling.

Ye Chen adopted the persona of a wise yet gentle older brother, and smiled wryly: "There are many things that don't necessarily need to be understood now. I'm a slow starter."

At the same time, he glanced at Alan, gave a perfectly gentlemanly smile, and said leisurely:

"How about this, let's go out for dinner together tomorrow, it's on me."

After saying that, he made what he thought was a very cool wink, but it made Alan feel a greasy feeling in his throat.

Alan, wanting Ye Chen to leave quickly, forced a smile: "Oh, really? I'm really looking forward to it, hehehehe..."

Ye Chen smiled crookedly, got into the car, and the car drove away from the Lan family villa.

Once Ye Chen's car had completely disappeared from sight.

The old man Lan Yuan, who had just been all smiles and fawning, suddenly turned grim, put on the airs of a senior clan elder, gave a cold snort, and turned to leave.

He left everyone with only a menacing silhouette.

Mrs. Lan and her father were under pressure and were angry, so they relentlessly put pressure on Alan in return.

Lan Xinlan: ...

The Lan family was originally a prominent family in southern Fujian. During the war, they moved to Guangzhou. During a special period, they managed to avoid the turmoil of war by making advance arrangements, thus preserving most of their clan's power and wealth.

This is why most members of the Lan family are incredibly rigid; the older they get, the more they cling to feudal ethics and traditions.

This made Alan very resentful, yet he was helpless to do anything about it.

Firstly, she did enjoy the many conveniences that being a young lady of the Lan family brought her, and secondly, although her mother and father didn't treat her very well.

But at least they're supporting themselves.

This is a very traditional Chinese feudal extended family, which can both protect you and oppress you, leaving you in a state of both love and hate.

You want to break with it but don't have the courage; you want to fully integrate but can't give up your pride.

A single-minded approach has become blocked at both ends.

Alan fondly remembers the days he spent with Song Ruyu and Lina; they were so free back then.

Of course, she also missed the days she spent with Jiang Ling.

Not only is it free, but it's also incredibly enjoyable.

As for what part is the best, don't ask...

By the time the commotion at the Lan family's residence subsided, it was already late at night.

Alan glanced at her phone; more than an hour had passed since Jiang Ling sent her the message.

Logically speaking, given his speed...

We should have arrived in Guangfu by now.

"Why hasn't Ah Ling replied to my message yet?"

Alan typed, "Ah Ling, when are you expecting to arrive?"

"I miss you so much. And let me tell you, that Ye Chen guy was so greasy today, and he always had that crooked smile..."

"Waaaaah, Ling, I'm being pressured by my parents again."

"Ah Ling, you care about me, right?"

"Reply to my message soon, Ah Ling."

Unexpectedly, the chat box responded as soon as the message was sent.

Jiang Ling replied to the message: "Alan, look behind you!"

Alan, who was lying on her side scrolling through her phone, suddenly froze and quickly turned around.

My back bumped right into a warm, broad chest.

That familiar, comforting warmth instantly enveloped her, making her unconsciously clench her hands together in a daze.

She looked up and saw a familiar face.

Jiang Ling smiled slightly: "Oh, Alan, long time no see."

He also winked at Alan, but this wink made Alan's heart skip a beat. She bit her lower lip tightly to keep from making a "whoosh" sound.

She excitedly threw herself into Jiang Ling's arms:

"Ah Ling, since you're already here, why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"You can come in through the front door."

They can introduce you to my parents. As long as you show them your abilities, they'll definitely change their minds about me marrying Ye Chen..."

Actually, Jiang Ling arrived about half an hour ago.

It just so happened that Ye Chen came out of Alan's house.

However, he kept quiet and instead used his "opening box sinister eye" to scan for information about Ye Chen.

Then, a "battle plan" was formulated regarding Ye Chen.

After all, directly revealing one's identity will only result in receiving the Dao Heart Shattering reward once, which is a +1 to all attributes.

"Alan, before you leave, you have to settle accounts with Ye Chen first," Jiang Ling whispered in Alan's ear. "There are many things that you can't tell from the surface."

"Huh?!" Lan Xinlan exclaimed in surprise.

"Clearance? Ah Ling, just take me with you..."

She didn't have a good impression of Ye Chen, but she didn't think it had reached the point where she needed to "settle things" with him.

"Here's his personal website password. Go log in and take a look," Jiang Ling sent her a website address and account password.

"I obtained it through clandestine means."

Alan had always been very interested in the mysterious methods Jiang Ling had mentioned.

After all, in this world, when it comes to the ability to open boxes...

The only person who can surpass her is Jiang Ling.

My initial interest in Jiang Ling stemmed from the fact that he had thoroughly humiliated me at the Viper Gang's banquet.

Lan Xinlan opened the webpage, browsed through it, and couldn't help but frown.

Who keeps a diary if they're a decent person?

Answer: A certain transport team leader and Ye Chen.

The private website has undergone numerous enhancements, including some technologies that even amazed Lan Xinlan, but the content inside is disgusting.

I won't even mention the dangerous diaries about drug trafficking and subversion of government.

Among them are some indecent videos from the subtitling community.

In the hotel's background, Ye Chen is kneeling on the ground, a truly gruesome sight, muttering vulgar words like "Kimo-ji~ ou ixi..."

He even called her name, Lan Xinlan, over and over again.

Lan Xinlan: ...

Instantly, her already low opinion of Ye Chen plummeted even further, and she couldn't help but purse her lips and say, "What? How could this person be like this? Manufacturing and selling drugs, and killing people everywhere..."

"They even...recorded this disgusting stuff..."

Jiang Ling said, "Actually, I arrived before Ye Chen left, but I just didn't show up."

"I secretly found out this information related to Ye Chen, and also things related to his underlings."

Jiang Ling then opened another website and displayed its contents to Alan.

I have no idea what kind of amazing people are in the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group—each of them has their own private website and treats it like a blog, writing down all the shameful things they've done.

Jiang Ling said, "If I remember correctly, Ye Chen once claimed that he would never sell drugs to Da Xia because he is a Da Xia citizen."

"But in reality, most people who get to this point don't have enough perseverance to stick to their original aspirations; an individual's determination cannot compete with that of a group."

"Look at the latest diary. Many Dragon Soul mercenaries have been corrupted. They think, since they're going to sell themselves anywhere anyway, they might as well sell to a place where the price is higher, like a market with a huge base of 14 billion people."

Dragon Soul - A Long's Diary: [I failed to persuade the Dragon King in secret, but some key channels have been opened. Perhaps I can try that first and then convince the Dragon King with results...]

Dragon Soul Rose Diary: [Today, Ah Long, Da Zhuang, and other cadres, behind the Dragon King's back, went to see the deputy mayor of Nan Yun City... a 30/70 split, hehehe... too low, isn't it?]

Dragon Soul Da Zhuang's Diary: [Fuck you! You son of a bitch, we only get 13%? Are we supposed to be begging on our knees?! And you call yourself a deputy head? If we can't reach an agreement, you'll be sent to the disciplinary committee!]

……

It's unclear whether Ye Chen truly didn't know.

Or are they pretending not to know?

Some of his subordinates are already trying to be transported into the territory of Great Xia.

Jiang Ling had originally considered whether to spare Ye Chen's life.

Ultimately, there was no real hatred between the two.

He was not a man who killed indiscriminately.

But, unfortunately—these guys were tainted with drugs and were even planning to sell them to Daxia. As members of Bureau 749, we had to kill them out of both compassion and reason.

Jiang Ling shook his head, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Killing him so easily would be too lenient. So, Alan, I need your cooperation to strike Ye Chen down completely, both mentally and physically..."

Alan was initially a bit timid, thinking that she might as well elope with Jiang Ling.

But now that she was angry, she nodded: "Then, Ah Ling, what should we do?"

Jiang Ling leaned close to her earlobe and breathed into it, saying, "Alan, do you know what a 'male best friend' is?"

Lan Xinlan: ? ? ?

……

"Is that so? I understand," Alan nodded.

Regarding how to shatter Ye Chen's Dao Heart.

Jiang Ling didn't really have any clue at first.

Until the way here.

I inadvertently glanced at the girl sitting next to me and saw her scrolling through Xiaohongshu (a Chinese social media platform).

It dawned on him.

Many experienced women have shared their wisdom on Xiaohongshu on how to torment a man.

Jiang Ling immediately downloaded Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) to learn from its experience.

He really did get the real knowledge!

This true wisdom is called "Male Best Friend".

Of course, although he is called a "male best friend," he actually appears between Ye Chen and Alan in a position of higher status.

For example, the ecological niches of the male protagonist, female protagonist, and head teacher in some anime.

After hearing Jiang Ling's complete plan, Alan not only didn't find it inappropriate, but also felt a strange sense of excitement.

It's as if Ye Chen has become a little toy for them to add hydrogen to their relationship, how interesting...

"Yeah, but none of those plans you mentioned are important right now..." Alan stretched out her arms and wrapped them tightly around his waist, pressing her whole body against him.

Jiang Ling was taken aback: "Not important? What do you mean?"

Alan smiled sweetly, straddled his waist, and whispered in his ear:

"You have more important things to do right now."

"Oh, what is it?"

Alan reached over and pulled two game controllers from the bedside table, tossing one to him with a sparkling look in his eyes.

—Clearly, he's hooked on MC.

As for what game it is, it's naturally Minecraft.

Jiang Ling raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you afraid your parents or family will find out?"

Alan shook her head, and Bingxue urged her, "It doesn't matter. They all say I'm an impure girl anyway, so what if they find out?"

"After all, it seems that I did awaken something extraordinary in front of A-Ling."

She licked her lips, a blush rising on her innocent face: "Hey~ Ah Ling, tell me, is this Ah Ling's fault or mine?"

Jiang Ling nodded helplessly: "Alright then, I'll play a game of Minecraft vanilla survival with you."

The next second, the "Silent Curtain" quietly unfolded.

Completely isolate the entire bedroom from the outside world.

A spectacular two-player online survival game has begun.

On the other side, at the Ye family villa.

Ye Chen, dressed in a well-fitting suit, adjusted his bow tie in front of the mirror and grinned crookedly, "I'll wear this tomorrow."

The moonlight outside the window was warm and gentle, and a branch of red apricot blossoms peeked over the wall, its delicate buds bursting forth.

The hummingbird perched on the stems and leaves, head bowed, sucking nectar from the flower buds.

Ye Chen glanced at the windowsill and grinned crookedly, "Hehehe, I wonder what Alan is doing now..."

He gazed at the moon, flower buds, and hummingbirds, and suddenly felt inspired to write poetry. He opened his personal website, wrote in his diary for the day, and ended with a poem:

I straighten my clothes in front of the mirror, feeling relaxed and carefree; the moonlight shines like water over the western tower.

I've invited you to a celebratory banquet tomorrow, and we've secretly vowed to grow old together.

The apricot buds, fragrant and just beginning to open, attract delicate bees that secretly gather nectar.

If only I could have a beautiful woman by my side throughout my life, I would not have wasted this tender moment in the world.
