Chapter 40: It feels as if the body has been emptied

Gan Yi, who was in the middle of operating, heard this sentence and almost spat out a mouthful of salt soda.

"What an interesting father-son pair."

Gan Yi said softly in her heart, and at this moment the game proceeded to the next round.

In almost every game, Ye Chen is the one under pressure.

She hardly ever slacked off or harmed others, except for a few times when she wanted to see Ye Nan's reaction when he was being set up, so she deliberately set Ye Nan up a few times.

After Ye Nan died, he immediately went to pressure Ye Chen.

Poor Ye Chen still didn't realize that part of the reason he was being pressured so badly was thanks to Gan Yi.

And Gan Yi roughly learned Ye Chen's current situation from these few games.

First, Ye Nan probably doesn't know what Ye Chen has done; second, Ye Chen's relationship with his parents is very harmonious, otherwise he wouldn't just say 'pressure' and have it be pressure.

Moreover, Ye Chen's mindset when playing games is generally good, except when he is being pressured by Ye Nan.

Ye Chen is like a mute eating coptis, suffering but unable to speak.

Ye Nan is his father; scolding him is utterly unfilial, Ye Chen doesn't want to do that, his only possible retort is "Old geezer, don't call me."

Actually Ye Chen's attack power is terrifyingly strong, but unfortunately the one pressuring him is Ye Nan, his own father.

This leaves him feeling helpless, unable to fight or scold, completely in a state where he cannot be locked onto.

And through probing, Gan Yi also learned Ye Nan's temperament; once she sets him up, he won't pressure her, because he will immediately turn to pressure Ye Chen, and Gan Yi seems to have discovered the fun of the game; after a few rounds, her record has hardly been positive.

This is not because her skill is lacking, but because she deliberately does it; she just wants to hear Ye Nan pressure Ye Chen, which is her mischievous taste toward Ye Chen.

Ye Chen also realized this, but he couldn't say it, because if he said it Ye Nan wouldn't believe him, Ye Nan didn't see that Gan Yi was deliberately setting him up, and he even once thought someone else was operating.

He had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only pressure Ye Chen.

Ye Chen only felt that playing a few rounds of games was more tiring than his cultivation.

But Gan Yi was playing with him, and he felt embarrassed to say not to play, so he had to continue battling with Ye Nan and Gan Yi until ten o'clock.

Ten o'clock was originally a time Ye Chen couldn't leave, but Lin Ruoxi came in and called him to sleep, and only then did he narrowly escape disaster.

And at the moment he was about to quit the game, Gan Yi sent him a smiley along with a message: "How is it, fun?"

Upon seeing this message, Ye Chen felt extremely angry; he silently recited the Pure Heart Technique in his mind, which suppressed his anger, and then he quickly left the scene.

After returning to his room, he did not immediately rest but instead called Ji An.

The moment the call was connected, Ji An's voice came from the other end.

"Ye Chen junior, what's the matter?"

Ye Chen didn't waste words, saying to Ji An: "Senior Ji, do you know where there is that kind of genuine medicine, and with a higher vintage market?"

After Ye Chen finished speaking, the other side fell silent for a moment, as if thinking.

After Ye Chen waited a moment, Ji An's voice came from the other end.

"Ye Chen junior, I really do know a place, but the medicine there is quite expensive; with your current money, it might not be enough."

Ji An finished speaking, Ye Chen sighed, but soon Ji An's voice sounded again.

"However, Ye Chen junior, don't worry too much; as long as you procure a few good items for me in two days, I can help you buy the medicine."

Ji An finished speaking, Ye Chen immediately replied: "Then I'll trouble you, Senior Ji."

"Hey, Ye Chen junior saying that makes you sound too distant; what's between us?"

"Alright, then thank you, Senior Ji; please inquire more about the medicine, and I'll later send you the names of those few herbs."

"Okay."

Ye Chen said that and hung up the phone; after hanging up, his phone watch suddenly received a message, and upon looking he saw it was from Gan Yi.

"How are you, Ye Chen junior?"

Gan Yi's voice was full of laughter; one can imagine how happy she is now.

"You did it on purpose."

Helpless Ye Chen finally uttered these words.

And on the other side, upon seeing these words, Gan Yi laughed so hard she rolled on the bed.

"I did it on purpose; how about it, come hit me, heehee."

When Ye Chen saw these words, he felt the helplessness of a eunuch looking at a widow.

"Alright, don't bother me; I'm going to sleep."

Ye Chen said that and then closed his phone watch, simply ignoring Gan Yi thereafter.

And when Gan Yi saw these words, the corners of her mouth rose, she let out a "humph": "Sleep? I haven't slept yet, you sleep what? No sleeping!"

Gan Yi said that and then forcibly connected Ye Chen's phone watch, putting the call through; the moment Ye Chen heard the call connect, he instantly withdrew from his cultivation state.

"Holy shit, this is simply a venomous woman!"

Ye Chen shouted in his heart, and the phone watch also sounded with Gan Yi's voice.

"What sleep? I haven't slept yet, you sleep what? No sleeping!"

Ye Chen: "?!"

When Ye Chen heard these words, his mind was still in an immediate state.

Gan Yi hadn't heard Ye Chen's voice for a while, so she tentatively asked, "Hello, are you still there?"

"Not here; if here, then asleep."

Ye Chen's words again made Gan Yi burst out laughing: "Do your parents know you're so outstanding?"

"I don't know, but I know I don't want to return to you."

"Not return to me? Not return to me, then I'll tell your dad that you sneakily play computer games at midnight."

"Holy shit, you're so vicious!"

Upon hearing this sentence from Gan Yi, Ye Chen widened his eyes, seeming unwilling to believe it was true.

I'll also tell your parents that you're playing around with a girlfriend online—I'm the one whose feelings you're toying with.

After hearing that, Ye Chen stared at his phone watch in disbelief, fell silent for a moment, and finally spoke three words slowly.

You win.

When Gan Yi heard that, she let out a merciless laugh.

Gan Yi said that because she knew Ye Chen's intellect was far more mature than other kids'; even if he was a child who didn't understand these things, he also knew that if his parents found out about this, he would surely suffer terribly.

Then what exactly do you want from me to let me go?

Ye Chen said this helplessly; when he said it, Gan Yi immediately replied, "Actually, if you just call me sister once, we can let this go, and I won't mess with you anymore."

It's mainly because you're so young and so talented that I feel heartbroken; so, you understand.

After hearing Gan Yi's explanation, Ye Chen felt his body go weak and powerless, as if it had been emptied out.
