C109 – He likes you
by UntamedSHe understood his reasoning, so he nodded and asked, “So is there anything I need to do now?”
“No, as a matter of fact, before this, father already contacted the patriarchs of several large clans that have good relations with him to discuss this matter, and they are all very willing to take their family’s rune cards out to be auctioned off.” Adrian said on one side, and on the other, he opened up his light device, presenting a relatively short list in front of He Yishu. “These are the tentative five families selected by father; their influence in the rune card world isn’t as strong as the Brandt family, but they are all rune card families known throughout the Interstellar Empire.”
“It’s Uncle who is considerate; you must remember to thank Uncle for me.” He Yishu glanced at the list; he didn’t know much about the previous state of the rune card world, so naturally, he had no opinion on it. “Then let’s follow what Uncle has arranged.”
“There’s one more thing, and that is the starting price of the Han character rune card. The starting price of all other rune cards is very easy to determine, but since the Han character rune card has never appeared in an auction before, this matter must be carefully considered.” Adrian put away the list and brought up another matter: “According to my experience of the previous rune card auctions, I would suggest that the starting price of the Han character rune card should be set at least one million credits or more.”
If it were half a year ago, He Yishu would have been so excited that his eyes would light up when he heard the figure of one million, but now, he surprisingly felt that the starting price of one million credits didn’t seem too high.
He Yishu thought for a moment then responded, “Let’s set it at one million; in fact, for Han character rune cards, the starting bidding price isn’t that important.”
If it was any other rune card, the starting price could actually determine its true value to a certain extent, but for the Han character rune card, even if the starting price was 1 credit, absolutely no one would dare to question its value.
In other words, it had the strength to be capricious.
After the two of them had pretty much talked about the things that needed to be discussed, Adrian went to contact Arman again to confirm these things.
Finally, the auction was scheduled for half a month later. The next work was to determine the invitation list as well as the auction process. The invitations of the great families were naturally handled by Adrian and Arman, but the invitations of the virtual network would be handed over to He Yishu himself.
It wasn’t the first time that He Yishu did this kind of thing; he ran directly to the virtual network and uploaded a post. The content was extraordinarily simple, but immediately the post appeared, it caused a huge stir. In just half an hour, the number of people who signed up had reached more than 100,000, and then it was followed by a bunch of fans that seized the opportunity to crazily confess their love for He Yishu.
He Yishu was originally happily reading these comments, but as a result, when he suddenly reached a certain comment, he was surprised to see a familiar name.
Adrian: I’m sorry, but I’m the only one that your Rune Card big brother loves.
He Yishu: “… He wanted to laugh a little, but he also felt a little ashamed.
Although he didn’t expect Adrian to do this kind of thing, when this reply was in front of him, He Yishu couldn’t help but feel that this kind of Adrian was too cute.
And at this time, there were already tens of thousands of replies below this comment. Some of them couldn’t help but wail because they saw that Adrian had actually shown up in this post, but more of them were the little pitiful people who were stuffed with a mouthful of dog food and couldn’t help but raise their torches in anger.
After thinking for a while, He Yishu replied below with the comment, “Dear Adrian, you’re right.”
Many people silently raised their torches in anger after seeing He Yishu’s reply.
The registration period in the post was nine days. He Yishu would announce the results on the tenth day, and the following five days would be reserved for the selected netizens to make preparations.
After closing the virtual network, He Yishu went out of the bedroom to get himself a glass of water. When the door to the room opened, he saw Qiao An sitting on the sofa in a daze.
He Yishu closed his bedroom door and went to the kitchen to pour two cups of water, then walked to Qiao An and sat down. “What’s wrong? What are you thinking about?”
As He Yishu opened his mouth, Qiao An finally came back to his senses: “I… Xiao Shu, I have a question I want to ask you.”
“What question?” He Yishu handed a cup of water to Qiao An.
Qiao An held the cup and asked with some hesitation, “When you usually get along with Adrian, what do you feel?”
As soon as this question came out, He Yishu could probably guess what Qiao An had been thinking about, but he was still a bit surprised that Qiao An could sense Zheng Junsheng’s thoughts so quickly. “You actually want to ask what it’s like to be in love, right? But it’s probably not the right question to ask me because Adrian and I are like an old married couple, so I don’t think it’s the same as other people’s. If I had to explain, it’s that when I’m with him, I’m relaxed, I don’t have any scruples or worries, and it’s natural to want to tell him about anything. In a nutshell, it’s that whether it’s something good or something bad, he’s the first person I want to confide in.”
Qiao An nodded with a bit of confusion, and after hesitating for a moment, he said with a bit of embarrassment, “Xiao Shu, I… feel that recently Zheng Juncheng’s attitude towards me seems to be a bit not quite right; can you feel it?”
It was only normal to feel that something was wrong. Zheng Juncheng was extremely obvious; if he couldn’t feel anything again, that would be strange.
Since Qiao An asked this, He Yishu naturally had nothing to hide: “I also feel it; he should like you, right?”
One sentence made Qiao An’s face turn red: “You… how do you know? Do you really think he likes me?”
“He comes to you for dinner almost every day lately and usually buys you gifts and sends you back to your flat. If this is not considered liking you, then to what extent do you think he has to act for it to be obvious that he likes you?” He Yishu looked at the blushing Qiao An with a smirk and teased, “And his attitude towards other people can be cold as hell, but it’s different when it comes to you; this is also very illustrative, isn’t it?”
Qiao An blushed even more. “I also thought there was something wrong with his behavior; that’s why I wanted to ask you.”
“I’ve asked Adrian before; Zheng Juncheng’s character should be pretty good; if you have feelings for him as well, I think you guys can give it a try.” He Yishu patted Qiao An’s shoulder and gave him advice: “But when it comes to things like falling in love, you don’t have to have any psychological pressure at all. If you feel happy, you can stay together; if you really don’t fit, or if you can’t get along with him, you can break up.”
When He Yishu said this, it wasn’t that he wanted Qiao An to be an irresponsible person. It was just that Qiao An’s personality was too delicate. Once he really decided to date Zheng Juncheng, his whole heart would definitely be on the other person. If something really happened between the two, Qiao An would definitely suffer even greater harm.
As Qiao An’s best friend, He Yishu, of course, had to favor him.
But as soon as he heard He Yishu’s words, Qiao An suddenly became even more embarrassed: “I just wanted to ask your opinion; I haven’t said that I want to be with him.”
“I’m not forcing you to be with him, ah, but seeing you like this, you must have been moved.” He Yishu sipped his water, then he smilingly said, “I just want to tell you, it’s free to fall in love, and it should be very enjoyable. You don’t need to worry too much before the start, and you also don’t need to worry too much after the start. As long as you don’t do anything to hurt the other person, you don’t need to have any psychological burden.”
How could Qiao An not hear that He Yishu was showing concern for him? At that moment, even though he was embarrassed, he still said seriously, “Xiao Shu, thank you. If he and I really get together, I will definitely tell you first.”
“Okay,” He Yishu smiled and nodded. “As for you, if you really feel embarrassed, just get along with him according to your previous attitude. Many things may not need a clear definition; just let nature take its course.”
“I understand,” Qiao An nodded obediently. Just as he was about to chat with He Yishu some more, he heard his light device ringing. Looking down, it was a communication request from Zheng Juncheng. Qiao An’s face instantly turned even redder. “It’s, It’s Zheng Juncheng; he should be looking for me to go to dinner with him.”
He Yishu waved his hand in disgust. “Hurry up and go; otherwise, he will definitely come up to the flat to look for you.”
“Then I’ll go first; if you need anything, just call me.” Qiao An said goodbye to He Yishu with a red face.
Only after Qiao An left did He Yishu slowly reveal a smile. Although he had lost the shelter of his family, being able to meet his most perfect love meant that Qiao An could live a very happy life as well.
Nine days passed very quickly. On the tenth day, He Yishu selected one hundred netizens who looked very agreeable among the many replies and invited them to participate in the upcoming auction.
At this time, this auction had already been known by the entire rune card world; almost every rune card master was paying attention to this auction, and everyone guessed which big family would be the one who could get the Han character rune cards in the auction.
And at this time, the specific auction process of the auction had also been completely determined. When Adrian came over with the planned auction process to find He Yishu, he was nestled on the sofa, drinking milk and watching the interesting videos on the virtual network.
Adrian first picked up the milk and took a sip from the milky white trace He Yishu had just left behind, before speaking, “Xiao Yishu, the specific flow of the auction has been determined; the five great clans have provided a total of 35 rune cards, of which there are 3 S-grade rune cards, 19 A+ grade rune cards, and 13 A-grade rune cards, and the auction will start with the A-grade rune cards, followed by the A+ grade cards, and then the A+ grade cards. In the auction, it will start with the A-class cards first, followed by the A+ class cards, S-class cards, and finally the Han character rune cards that you made.”
He Yishu just roughly looked at the auction process, then leaned over and kissed Adrian on the cheek: “It’s been hard on you and Uncle.”
Adrian’s gaze moved slightly. “That kiss just now was for my father; shouldn’t you also give me a thank-you kiss that’s exclusively for me?”
He Yishu couldn’t help but smile, then he dropped a kiss on Adrian’s lips. After the kiss, He Yishu didn’t move away in a hurry but pressed himself against the corner of Adrian’s lips and said, “Do you mean here?”
“No,” Adrian closed the light device, wrapped one hand around He Yishu’s waist, and placed the other hand behind his head. “It’s in my mouth; let me tell you exactly where it is.”
After saying that, Adrian directly leaned into He Yishu for a deep kiss.
After a deep kiss, He Yishu panted and pushed Adrian away, glaring at him, “Is this the thank-you kiss you wanted?”
Adrian nodded in satisfaction and said, “Yes.”
He Yishu calmed his breathing and deliberately picked a fight. “But you never told me where it was.”
“Could it be that I forgot?” Adrian raised his eyebrows and once again came closer to He Yishu. “Then let’s do it again; I definitely won’t forget this time.”
“You…oh…” He Yishu was kissed once again before he could retort.
