Chapter 100 Connections
Yan Xun: ………………………………?
ah???????
Yan Xun felt like his brain had shrunk? How come he remembered that no one in the forum guides mentioned that he was Song Baiyuan's nephew?
Yan Xun felt numb at this moment. He replied blankly, like a machine, "No."
No one online says that Yan Xun and Song Baiyuan are nephew and uncle.
Besides, they don't even look very alike.
Yan Xun looked closely at Song Baiyuan, who was sitting in the chair with a somewhat tired expression. Perhaps because he had been an artist before, Song Baiyuan had a good appearance. Although he was close to 40 years old, he looked like he was only in his early 30s, perhaps because he took good care of himself.
If there is a significant age difference between Yan Xun's mother and Song Baiyuan, then it would make sense for Yan Xun to have such a younger uncle.
Seeing that Yan Xun remained motionless, Song Baiyuan felt somewhat saddened.
"You used to call me 'Uncle' all the time, why are you being so distant now?"
Yan Xun was stunned; he really didn't know this part of the plot.
Seeing how heartbroken Song Baiyuan was, she could only guess that she probably had a good relationship with this uncle in the past.
He could only slowly walk to Song Baiyuan's side, "I was worried about being discovered by them."
After saying that, Yan Xun realized something was wrong and could only add, "Saying I'm a relative."
"Aren't you just a nepotism hire?" Song Baiyuan thought to himself, but he wouldn't say it out loud. If Yan Xun hadn't cried and begged to become an artist, he wouldn't have considered letting Yan Xun enter the industry at all. After all, he had promised to take good care of Yan Xun when his sister passed away.
"That's just sour grapes."
“If you ask them if they want to be part of a family with connections, they’ll definitely agree,” Song Baiyuan reassured them.
"Oh my god, what a tyrant!" Yan Xun thought to himself.
However, the thought of having this connection made Yan Xun feel that his chances of getting an S-rank were much greater.
He walked over to Song Baiyuan and clumsily massaged his head.
Song Baiyuan felt a headache coming on. He was already feeling unwell from drinking, and Yan Xun's strong grip made him almost forget about maintaining his composure.
But when he thought that this was a rare moment of closeness between Yan Xun and Yan Xun after his rebellious period, Song Baiyuan held back.
After pressing for a few minutes, Yan Xun finally grabbed his wrist and said, "Okay, that's enough."
Yan Xun, however, was still not satisfied. He found it very interesting to watch Song Baiyuan pretend to be nonchalant even though he was clearly in excruciating pain.
Since the person involved had already said so, he could only put his hand down and pretend to ask Song Baiyuan, "Does Uncle's head no longer hurt?"
If you press him down again, his head will be dented, Song Baiyuan thought, but he didn't want to dampen Yan Xun's enthusiasm, so he could only nod vaguely before getting down to business.
Do you know who's in a relationship?
Yan Xun shook his head; he truly didn't know.
Song Baiyuan probably didn't expect Yan Xun to see through it, since even Yan Xun hadn't realized that Mu Yuanming, who seemed to have a good relationship with him on the surface, didn't like him at all.
“I will investigate this matter myself,” Song Baiyuan said.
Although Yan Xun knew that the matter of having a sister-in-law was true, he was still curious as to why Song Baiyuan was so certain, so he tentatively asked, "Is what that Weibo post said true?"
"Yes." Song Baiyuan also seemed to find this matter a bit troublesome.
He rubbed his forehead, then said to Yan Xun, "What that Weibo post said is indeed true."
"Although I don't know who is in a relationship, it is definitely true."
What worries Song Baiyuan even more is that it seems there's more than one person on Weibo who has a sister-in-law.
Upon hearing Song Baiyuan's words, Yan Xun realized that he also didn't know who the member with the sister-in-law was.
This is the kind of difficulty that the dungeon deliberately creates to confuse players. If this were real life, Song Baiyuan would probably have already dug up his sister-in-law's ancestors for eight generations by now.
Song Baiyuan didn't have anything else to say to Yan Xun. After giving a few instructions, he prepared to leave.
But before leaving, he suddenly turned back and glanced at Yan Xun, "You're not the one dating him, are you?"
Yan Xun: "?"
"Of course not!"
...Probably, Yan Xun thought. He remembered that in this instance, the person with the sister-in-law was usually not the player himself.
"That's fine then." Song Baiyuan nodded.
"Remember this."
"You are not allowed to date before you turn 30."
"If I find out..." Song Baiyuan said, making a throat-slitting gesture, "Got it?"
Yan Xun nodded. "I understand."
……
As Yan Xun and the others watched Song Baiyuan leave, Xiao Zheng happened to come in from outside.
Upon seeing Song Baiyuan, he was clearly very nervous, almost fainting on the spot.
Song Baiyuan glanced at him and whispered, "Keep a close eye on him."
Xiao Zheng nodded immediately.
He only breathed a slight sigh of relief after Song Baiyuan left.
Yan Xun stood there, glancing at the shopping bag in Xiao Zheng's hand, "What did you buy?"
"Some food," Xiao Zheng stammered, "and drinks."
Yan Xun was just asking casually and didn't understand why Xiao Zheng was so nervous.
Xiao Zheng, of course, didn't live in the dormitory. Seeing that there was nothing for him to do here, and that it was getting late, he said a few words and told them about his recent schedule before closing the door and leaving.
Once Xiao Zheng left, Ning Xinian was too lazy to stay in the living room any longer.
He went straight back to his bedroom.
Yan Xun was also exhausted. He went back to his room to get some clean clothes, took a shower, grabbed a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, and then returned to his bedroom.
He Jinqiu leaned against the bed, wearing headphones and holding a tablet, seemingly looking at something.
Yan Xun glanced at it a few times, put the water he had finished drinking on the table next to his bed, dried his hair, and prepared to go to sleep.
Seemingly realizing he was going to sleep, He Jinqiu turned off her own nightlight.
"Goodnight," he said to Yan Xun, taking off his headphones.
Yan Xun, huddled under the covers, mumbled a goodnight.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Yan Xun was suddenly awakened by thirst... He groggily opened his eyes and found that He Jinqiu on the bed next to him was already fast asleep.
He opened the bottled water beside him and took a few sips—
[Player Yan Xun has died. Please select a save point!]
Depend on! ! ! !
Yan Xun screamed inwardly!
Who on earth wants to harm me?!
……
When Yan Xun opened his eyes again, he had returned to the save point from last time.
He was talking to Song Baiyuan when he noticed that Song Baiyuan was daydreaming, which made Song Baiyuan slightly unhappy.
"uncle."
Yan Xun looked at Song Baiyuan with a subtle expression, "Is the fact that I'm a nepotism hire really that hateful?"
Song Baiyuan wondered what nonsense the child was talking about.
Then Yan Xun said something else.
"I think someone in the group wants to poison me."
