Chapter 548 - 428: I Don’t Want to Go to the Company Anymore
"Sis." The hurt in Xie Yizun’s eyes spread to his face, and his tone was filled with indignation, "They’re usually nice to me, we’re all brothers, right? We haven’t even started competing yet, so why are they like this? Why are they so fake? Is there anyone left at the company I can trust and hang out with?"
"You don’t just become competitors when you’re on stage together competing." Shi Wangyue chimed in from the side, "Your competition started the day you joined the company."
Xie Yizun felt like he understood yet didn’t, "But we agreed to support each other, form a group together, and debut together in the future."
"With so many trainees in your company, how many can actually debut?" Shi Wangyue said lightly, "Words are the most unreliable things. Instead of listening to what they say, you should observe what they do. Actions reveal a person’s true intentions more than words."
"Yiyi, what do you want to drink?" Ning Youguang asked.
"I don’t want to drink anything." Xie Yizun burped.
"I’ll make you some hawthorn water. Didn’t you say earlier that you were too full?" Ning Youguang remembered seeing that huge empty bucket at McDonald’s earlier and couldn’t help worrying that Xie Yizun would suffer from indigestion at night.
"Sis, don’t bother. I’ll just have some water." Xie Yizun felt a little discomfort in his stomach, but he could still bear it.
But Ning Youguang wasn’t fooled by his condition, "Is your stomach uncomfortable?"
"A little." Xie Yizun paused and nodded.
"Let me take a look." Ning Youguang reached out and took her brother’s wrist to feel his pulse, "Spleen deficiency with dampness, central qi sinking, I’ll make you some herbal medicine."
"Ah, I don’t want to take Chinese medicine." Xie Yizun grimaced, "Can’t I just have the hawthorn water?"
"Hawthorn water won’t work." Ning Youguang said with difficulty, "If you don’t take some herbal medicine, you’ll have diarrhea tonight."
"Okay then." Xie Yizun reluctantly agreed, though his face still looked resistant.
"Don’t worry, it’s not hard to drink." Ning Youguang smiled and let go of her brother’s hand.
"That’s good." Xie Yizun visibly breathed a sigh of relief, "Thanks, Sis."
After Ning Youguang went to the kitchen,
Shi Wangyue led Xie Yizun to the living room’s rest area to sit down.
The two sat face to face, Shi Wangyue on a footstool, Xie Yizun relaxing in a very comfortable single recliner.
"Brother-in-law." Xie Yizun placed his hands on his abdomen, looking at Shi Wangyue with a face full of gloom, "I don’t want to go to the company anymore, and I don’t want to see them."
"Feeling deceived so you don’t want to face them?" Shi Wangyue raised an eyebrow.
"Annoying." Xie Yizun was starting to feel agitated, "And then there’s Lucy at the company, she always claps and says I’m doing great every time I practice, but when the debut list comes out, I’m not on it. They don’t even let me appear on a variety show. How are they all so fake, saying one thing and doing another?"
"Is it that you don’t want to face them, or you don’t know how to face them?" Shi Wangyue’s voice was gentle and soothing.
Xie Yizun bit his lip, resentfully saying, "I just don’t want to see them."
"Oh." Shi Wangyue nodded kindly.
Xie Yizun looked at him in silence for a while, then said irritably again, "I also don’t want to go to the company anymore."
Shi Wangyue asked, "Is it that you never want to go to the company again, or just don’t want to go for now?"
"I don’t know." Xie Yizun scratched his head, "I just feel frustrated to death right now, and I don’t want to go to the company or see them."
"Then don’t go to the company, and you don’t have to see them." Shi Wangyue said gently.
Xie Yizun, seeing how accommodating he was, softened his stance, "Brother-in-law, why don’t you try to talk me out of it or ask why I left the company?"
Shi Wangyue smiled, "On such a cold day, if you ran out of the company alone without bringing anything, you must have had a disagreement with someone. If the place makes you unhappy, why should I urge you to go back?"
"Brother-in-law, you and Sis are both so good to me." Xie Yizun softened his tone, "You both understand and support me, unlike my mom, who just tells me to go back and follow the arrangements. I just can’t figure out whether she’s on my side or the company’s."
"Auntie can only ever be on your side." Shi Wangyue laughed, "She’s asking you to go back to follow the arrangements because she’s worried you’ll encounter danger on your own."
"I’m already this grown-up, what danger could there be?" Xie Yizun rolled his eyes, "Do they still think I’m a kid?"
"In parents’ eyes, children are always children no matter how old they are." Shi Wangyue said good-naturedly, "Auntie and Uncle Xie will support and understand you just like your sister and I do, don’t worry."
"They better..." Xie Yizun reflexively wanted to retort, but remembering the changes in his parents over the years, changed his tone, "They better be, hmph!"
"How’s your chat going?" Ning Youguang came out of the kitchen.
"Pretty good." Shi Wangyue answered.
"What did you guys talk about?" Ning Youguang sat on the sofa between them.
"Talked a bit about people in the company." Xie Yizun said.
"Oh." Ning Youguang raised an eyebrow, "How are the people in the company?"
"All very fake." Thinking of the people and things in the company, Xie Yizun’s negative emotions surfaced again, "I don’t want to go to the company or see them right now."
"Then don’t go to the company, or see them." Ning Youguang said very calmly.
"Brother-in-law said the same." Xie Yizun grinned, "Then I really won’t go to the company for a while."
"Okay." Ning Youguang smiled as he looked at Shi Wangyue.
"What if my parents or people at the company ask me to go back?" Xie Yizun was worried about that.
"I’ll help you deal with them." Ning Youguang said with a face full of loyalty.
"Brother-in-law, I said you and Sis understand and support me the most." Xie Yizun’s aggrieved emotions were relieved a lot, "Can I stay with you guys for a while? I feel comfortable at your place."
Just as Shi Wangyue was about to answer,
Xie Yizun asked him again, "Brother-in-law, do you still have a room that’s suitable for me to stay in?"
Shi Wangyue nodded, "Yes, there’s a guest room here, and you can stay next door too."
He actually hoped Xie Yizun would stay next door, and he was guiding him to choose that.
Ning Youguang glanced at Shi Wangyue but said nothing.
Xie Yizun really took the bait, "Brother-in-law, is next door also yours? Is it the one with the wooden sign nailed on it?"
"Yes." Ning Youguang nodded.
"That’s the study room plaque." Shi Wangyue couldn’t quite accept Xie Yizun taking such a casual view of the sign he and his sister had carefully carved together.
"Oh, ’Wusheng Study Room,’ I saw it." Xie Yizun asked with great interest, "Can I go take a look?"
"Sure, of course."
Ning Youguang felt that his brother’s observational skills had improved a lot, and he had become much more attentive.
It seemed the kid had indeed grown a lot in the company over the past few years.
