I'm full of rebellion against fate

Chapter 181 Not Keeping Him at All

Since that night, the relationship between Chang Ningchen and Dongfang He has deteriorated. The two of them have separate rooms, no longer eat together, and rarely work together.

This made Wu Jun feel that he had an opportunity. Dongfang He's original position was replaced by Wu Jun. The tall and sunny Jin Xiaotian matched with the enthusiastic and cheerful Wu Jun. Everyone felt that Wu Jun was much better than the taciturn Mo Yinyuan.

Wu Jun was even more likable and was liked by everyone. Dongfang He stood in the corner. He felt uncomfortable when he saw Wu Jun talking and laughing with Chang Ningchen.

The man was flipping through the book. Now he could only seize the time to enrich his knowledge so as not to let his mind wander. However, he had been reading this book for a whole day and had not read many pages. He felt that he could not calm down.

Chang Ningchen went out to see patients that day because there was an infectious disease in the town over there. He didn't let Wu Jun go with him for fear that something might happen to him.

Wu Jun, who had nothing to do, approached Dongfang He. Seeing him alone, reading a book and daydreaming, he smiled and said, "A Tian only came to you because he was too lonely. You see, he stopped looking for you after I came. I advise you to face reality."

Dongfang He said calmly, "What do you mean by recognition? Do you dare to say these words in front of Ah Chen? He was the one who took me up the mountain. We even had a wedding. Everyone on the mountain knew about it. And you came up the mountain to find Ah Chen on your own. Isn't it obvious who is cheaper?"

After hearing what Dongfang He said, Wu Jun's face turned red, then black, and then white. After a moment of silence, he said, "If you two really love each other that much, you wouldn't have quarreled so much and still haven't reconciled!"

Dongfang He shrugged and said, "Beating is love, scolding is care. The way we act is better than Ah Chen being polite and respectful to you. In his eyes, you are just a guest."

And I am his family, I'm just a little grumpy now.

Wu Jun's face darkened and he crossed his arms and said, "I heard that you can't satisfy Chang Ningchen at all. You can't even do this well. No wonder A Tian dislikes you!"

Dongfang He said disdainfully: "Achen will not be willing to be submissive to others."

Wu Jun looked at Dongfang He provocatively and said, "That's because you don't want to. I'm different from you. I do want to!"

Dongfang He didn't know how to refute for a moment. Wu Jun's words made him feel even more flustered! This guy had even less integrity than him, so he had even less chance of winning!

Otherwise, he should go down the mountain to take the imperial examination! It is better to rely on yourself than on others.

When Chang Ningchen arrived in the town, he found that the people there were not suffering from an infectious disease but from food poisoning. Since there was no risk of infection, he went back early.

During this period, Dongfang He was almost the same as before except that he didn't sleep with him at night. He was pestered by Wu Jun during the day and couldn't get away, so the question of who was on top and who was on the bottom was put aside for the time being.

When returning to the mountain, Chang Ningchen bought a few books for Dongfang He. The bandit's lair had everything except books. The book in Dongfang He's hand was as wrinkled as pickles. He recalled the types of books Dongfang He had held in the past, and selected three books, packed them up and took them back.

Wu Jun saw Jin Xiaotian coming back with a gift and ran to greet him happily. Jin Xiaotian still had him in his heart! He remembered to bring him a gift when he came back!

When Chang Ningchen saw Wu Jun coming, he remembered that he had brought a gift for Dongfang He. After thinking about it, he stuffed the snacks he bought at the foot of the mountain into Wu Jun's arms. Originally, he wanted to eat them himself, so he gave them all to him!

Dongfang He looked at Wu Jun holding a pile of food in the distance with a smug smile on his face. He turned around and went back to his room with some annoyance.

After Chang Ningchen sent Wu Jun away, he took the books to Dongfang He and said, "He, I picked out a few books. Do you like them? If not, I'll bring you something else next time."

Dongfang He looked at the books on historical records and politics and economics, wondering if Chang Ningchen was hinting at his own superfluity? Should he focus on studying for the imperial examinations? Should he stop disturbing his and Wu Jun's private time?

So he asked, "Are you disgusted with me? Do you want to drive me away?"

Chang Ningchen looked at the man who was not happy about receiving the gift but angry. He immediately shook his head and said, "How could that be? I see that the books in your hands are all worn out. I bought you a few new ones. You used to love reading the most and spent all your free time reading."

Dongfang He frowned. When he was with the person he liked, he preferred reading? It was just like when a couple was together and one of them liked playing games. Were they really in love?!

The man couldn't help but ask: "Are we really partners?"

Chang Ningchen suddenly realized that he didn't seem to understand Dongfang He's preferences very well, but except for the fact that they were sometimes a little awkward, the two of them had a very comfortable relationship together.

Seeing Dongfang He like this, Chang Ningchen realized that the comfort in the past was because Dongfang He had been accommodating him, and he had never cared about Dongfang He's hobbies.

Dongfang He felt tired when he saw Chang Ningchen's silence. Maybe Chang Ningchen had been deceiving him from the beginning?

Chang Ningchen saw the disappointment on the man's face and decided to confess. He said, "I'm sorry, Ah He, it's actually my unrequited love. We have always been good brothers. Since you have lost your memory, I think our relationship will be closer, so we can be a couple."

Even though Dongfang He had been mentally prepared, he didn't feel sad after hearing these words. Instead, he felt a little happy?! What kind of weird feeling is this?! Being cheated and still happy?!

But the man was still a little angry and embarrassed. His life was about to be destroyed by this liar, so why should he be happy? He asked Chang Ningchen, "So, are you planning to tie me up by your side now? Treat me as a plaything? Watch you and Wu Jun being affectionate and humiliating me?"

Chang Ningchen knew he was in the wrong. He wanted to appease her but didn't know how. He said, "Wu Jun doesn't really love Jin Xiaotian. He's just worried that our alliance might have problems. I'll reassure him and then leave."

Dongfang He asked coldly, "He's not a blood relative, nor a lover? How can he be at ease? Don't you also want to bind me in the name of love?"

Chang Ningchen was stunned by what Dongfang He said. He was no different from Wu Jun now. They both wanted to control each other.

Perhaps his methods were too radical. The harder he tried to get close to the other person, the more disgusted he became. Chang Ningchen thought about it and realized that the more he stretched the rubber band, the tighter it would become. He still had to loosen it when appropriate. He said, "I'm sorry, I'm too selfish. If you want to leave, go ahead!"

Seeing that Chang Ningchen really had no intention of trying to keep him, Dongfang He simply left. Outwardly, he appeared calm, but inwardly, he was clamoring: Does this guy really love him?! Why doesn't he have any intention of trying to keep him?! Did you just show your payment code when you received a red envelope during the Lunar New Year?!

"and many more!"

Just when Dongfang He was about to reach the foot of the mountain, Chang Ningchen immediately ran to Dongfang He again.

Dongfang He was just thinking that if Chang Ningchen said something to persuade him to stay, he would not leave. Unexpectedly, Chang Ningchen stuffed some silver into his pocket, wrapped up the book for him, and led a horse to take him directly to the capital.
