Chapter Thirty-Seven Gay

  The electric kettle makes a humming noise, the lid vibrates up and down, and hot steam rises from the gap between the spout and the lid.

  He put some tea leaves into the cup, then An Yi picked up the electric kettle and poured in about 70-80% full of water. He carried the cup back to the living room and sat down on the sofa.

  He took out his mobile phone and pressed it once, looking at the content on the screen.

  One Shot to the Head: Hidden Honor; when the yamen is at an absolute disadvantage, decisively shoot and kill the thief, turning around a situation where the camp must lose.

  "Absolute disadvantage? A losing situation for our camp?" An Yi slightly raised an eyebrow.

  One shot to the head, this hidden honor can only be obtained by a special identity 'Sniper'. And the prerequisite for obtaining it...

  An Yi's eyes flickered as he thought back on the previous game process.

  If An Yi hadn't drawn his sword on the night of the first official's death...

  The thief killed the second yamen at night, so during the day it was two yamen against four thieves, which is indeed an absolute disadvantage. Moreover, in the situation of two yamen against four thieves, even if others were to intervene and one thief was eliminated during the day, it would still be two yamen against three thieves...

  In normal circumstances, it is indeed a must-win situation.

  An Yi furrowed his brow, thinking of the sniper's so-called shooting priority, which came before introducing all other identities.

  Even if An Yi didn't draw his sword on the first night after the death of the official, he could have done so on the second night and still made it in time. Only...

  It will only be on the third night after the first yin dies that we will face a situation where there is one yin and one thief. The thief will cut down the yin with his knife, and An Yi will shoot the thief to death. If it's that kind of situation, how will it be determined? Who will be determined as the loser and who will be determined as the winner?

  The official and the thief die together, how will they be judged?

  After all, when determining the outcome of a battle, if all the yamen die, it is considered that the good people's camp loses; however... if all the thieves die, then it is considered that the good people's camp wins!

  So on that same night, the last thief killed the last bailiff; the sniper shot and killed the last thief... It will inevitably end in mutual destruction!

  Is it really going to end like this? Or... is the effect of that killer priority meant for a moment like this?

  Although he felt it was very likely to be so in his heart, after all, he had never experienced such a situation, and An Yi couldn't completely confirm.

  Shaking his head, An Yi temporarily dispelled this idea and picked up the real phone on the tea table.

  Before An Yi's entry into the Tian Xuan tournament, a girl named Xiao Xiaoxiao had called him once...

  Looking at the unconnected call prompt on the mobile phone screen, An Yi's face was hesitant.

  According to An Yi's original intention, he tried his best to avoid contacting that girl again. But... just after hanging up the phone, the other party called back, making An Yi wonder if there was something urgent.

  After hesitating for a long time, An Wei finally couldn't help himself and dialed the phone number again.

  ……

  Ye Zi held her mobile phone, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed. The call had gone through, but there was no one on the other end to answer it.

  Xiao Xiao nervously looked at Ye Zi, or more accurately, at the phone in Ye Zi's hand.

  After a moment, Ye Zi helplessly dropped his arm and shrugged at Xiao Xixi.

  "He must be annoyed with me and doesn't want to answer my calls." Xiao Xiaoxiao said with a wronged expression, lowering her eyelids.

  Ye Zi raised an eyebrow.

  "Maybe he had something urgent?" Trying to comfort Xiao Xiaoxiao's emotions, but the words coming from Ye Zi's mouth couldn't help but be mixed with a hint of uncertainty.

  Xiao Xiao lowered her head and remained silent.

  Ye Zi opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then carelessly bumped into Xiao Xiaoxiao: "Alright, alright, our little Xiaoxiao has grown up to be so beautiful, he can't help but fall."

  "Come on, give sister a smile! Others may not want you, but sister wants you." Ye Zi smiled and lifted up Xiao Xiao's chin.

  Xiao Xiao forced a smile, responding to Ye Zi, but the smile didn't last long, and her eyelids drooped down again. She even asked in a weak tone: "Ye Zi jie, am I really that annoying?"

  Ye Zi's mouth twitched involuntarily.

  To be honest, Ye Zhen has never encountered such a situation. A beautiful woman was delivered to his doorstep, but he actually pushed her away.

  Even at this moment, Ye Zi suspected that An Yi, who had never been seen before, might be a... gay?

  As soon as this idea flashed into her mind, Ye Zi instantly thought of a comforting idea for Xiao Xiaoxiao.

  "Alright, alright, don't be unhappy. After all, you can't say that just because you like someone, they have to like you back, right? Our little Xiao Xiao is so beautiful, as long as it's a normal boy, he definitely won't be so indifferent. Unless..." Ye Zi suddenly stopped talking and intentionally teased Xiao Xiao's curiosity.

  "What's up?" Xiao Xiao raised her eyelids with a confused expression, blinked, and had a puzzled face, obviously being piqued by Ye Zi.

  "Unless..." Ye Zǐzéi smiled and whispered into Xiao Xiaoxiao's ear, "unless that boy doesn't like girls."

  "Don't like girls?" Xiao Xiao's silly smile clearly didn't understand Ye Zi's subtle words.

  "It's just a boy who likes boys! Homosexual, get it? Gay, get it?" Ye Zi's face was speechless, and she couldn't help but raise her voice.

  Two people sat on a bench in the small park, originally surrounded by some old men and women. As soon as Ye Zi spoke, countless strange gazes turned towards them from all around.

  Although his personality is a bit careless, because this topic was noticed by others, Ye Zi also couldn't help but blush a little.

  "Homosexual? Gay?" Xiao Xiaoxiao, who was a bit slow on the uptake, didn't notice the surrounding gazes and savored the two words with pursed lips.

  "Ah!" Xiao Xiao, who was half a beat slow, suddenly covered her face, as if this move of covering her ears and stealing the bell could ignore the gaze of others around her.

  "Put your hands down, no one is looking at you anymore." Ye Zi silently watched Xiao Xiao's actions.

  "Really?" Xiao smiled and secretly opened a small gap between her fingers, took a peek, and then hesitantly put her hand down.

  Xiao Xiao couldn't help but look around again, making sure no one was watching her before asking Ye Zi curiously: "Why do boys like other boys? And why is it called 'feng qi'?"

  Ye Zi covered her forehead: "How would I know why boys like boys? And why it's called being gay..."

  She puckered her lips and suddenly stretched out one finger from each hand, entwining them together.

  Xiao Xiao Xiao tilted her head, looking at Ye Zi's inexplicable behavior, with a face full of 'I don't understand'.

  "Why is it called 'fucking around'?" Ye Zi licked her lips, then pointed to her two fingers intertwined and moving together, and then stuck her lips to Xiao Xiaoxiao's ear and whispered: "Boys with boys must have something to stir up together, so it's called 'stirring the base', also known as 'fucking around'!"

  "What's that?" Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted: "Ah. That's too, too..."

  "What's so funny?" Ye Zi smiled and raised an eyebrow.

  "Isn't it disgusting?" Xiao Xiao smiled and deliberated for a moment before summarizing in a somewhat reserved tone.

  "Now you know, right? That guy named An Yi is just that kind of scumbag who likes to mess with boys. So, it's good you didn't end up with him, or he would've made your life miserable!" Ye Zi maliciously insulted An Yi, whom she had never met before, in order to comfort Xiao Xiaoxiao.

  "This, this... he can't be that kind of person, right?" Xiao Xixi's silly smile was still defending An Yi on the surface, but Ye Zi's tone had clearly made her feel somewhat uncertain.

  "How is it impossible!" Ye Zi glared at Xiao Xixi with a pair of eyes: "I ask you, am I good-looking or not?"

  "Huh?" Xiao Xiao was stunned and couldn't understand why Ye Zi asked such a question, but still subconsciously replied: "Sister Ye Zi must be good-looking."

  "How come every time we go out, my university classmates and friends all look at you with that kind of gaze?" Ye Zi's words suddenly took a sharp turn.

  "Ah?" Xiao Xiao's small mouth opened wide, completely stunned by Ye Zi.

  "They can't help but stare at you, definitely because in other people's eyes, you look better than me!" Ye Zi counted on her fingers to help Xiao Xiaoxiao calculate: "Think about it, you say I'm good-looking, but in other people's eyes, you're even more good-looking than me, doesn't that mean you're even better-looking than me?"

  "Since it's like that, you say this beautiful girl is throwing herself at him, but that idiot An Yi doesn't want her? He's obviously not a normal guy! It's clear he's gay! Isn't that right?" Ye Zi kept going on and on, again bringing up more rumors about An Yi.

  "Ah?" Xiao Xiao's small mouth was agape, getting wider and wider as she was completely led into the trap by Ye Zi.

  All along, Xiao Xiaoxiao thought that her sister Yezi was the most beautiful, but as a result, she herself became the most beautiful... And also, after all this pulling and tugging, it seems that An Yi might really be gay!

  Actually, strictly speaking, Xiao Xiaoxiao and Ye Zi can't be said to be more beautiful than each other.

  As for Ye Zi's university classmates and friends, why did they gaze at Xiao Xixi with infatuation, yet not look at Ye Zi...

  One is a big grey wolf! One is a little sheep! If I were a normal boy, I would definitely choose the little sheep!

  Ye Zi's personality is like a chili pepper, which of her university classmates and friends dare to provoke her?

  Can't catch up, don't say, or else you might be treated like a monkey and spun around dizzy.

  Of course, Ye Zi would never tell Xiao Xiao about the reasons behind this. And if these reasons were not revealed, Ye Zi believed that Xiao Xiao herself would also be unable to figure it out.

  In short, in Ye Zi's view, as long as he can prove that the guy named An Yi is a gay, it will be enough to convince Xiao Xixi!

  Xiao Xiaoxiao, who had been completely fooled by Ye Zihui, was still a bit downhearted, but she no longer looked as listless and dispirited as before.

  As for An Yi, Xiao Xiaoxiao indeed had a good impression of him. However, it was far from being infatuated to the point of life and death, after all, the two had only met twice before.

  Today I rushed over to find An Yi in a daze, the main reason is that Xiao Xiaoxiao told Ye Zi about being 'kissed' after being instigated by Ye Zi.

  She was previously rejected by An Wei, and Xiao Xiaoxiao's heart was indeed very disappointed, but more of a girl who wanted to confess for the first time, but was rejected and felt uncomfortable. But at this time, being coaxed by Ye Zi, Xiao Xiaoxiao's heart naturally felt much better.
