The Price of Rebirth [System]

Glancing at the clock on the wall, Yuan Ke pinched the bridge of his nose and let out a long sigh, leaning wearily on the sofa chair.

It was already daytime outside the window covered by the white tulle curtains, and the melodious and crisp birdsong added a bit of vitality to the morning.

It was almost a night of revising the documents and signing the contract. As soon as I relaxed, I felt groggy all night, my head was dizzy and I had a headache, and my whole body was exhausted.

For Yuan Ke, working until midnight or working all night until morning is not too common, not to mention that due to staying at home these days, the workload is much heavier than usual.

Yuan Ke put his hands behind his head, closed his eyes and prepared to be like this for a while.

With a sound of "click—" the door of the study was gently pushed open, Yuan Ke frowned and opened his eyes, looking straight at the door with a piercing gaze, but saw a large bouquet of lilies wandering in.

No, to be precise, a person came in holding a large bouquet of lilies, because half of his face was blocked by the lush flowers, so he couldn't see his appearance clearly.

"It's really... so heavy."

Behind the bouquet came a clear and pleasant voice with a slight nasal tone. The person seemed to be blocked by the bouquet, so he didn't see Yuan Ke, who was leaning on the office chair, and walked straight to the window sill, his steps were a little unsteady. The hands holding the bouquet looked a little stiff.

The man didn't see Yuan Ke, but when Yuan Ke heard this voice, he slightly raised his eyebrows, and raised the corners of his lips but didn't speak.

Putting the bouquet with difficulty into several celadon vases on the window sill, the man let out a long breath and slapped his palms and turned around, but when he saw Yuan Ke's face, he let out an exclamation, took a step back reflexively and almost fell to the ground .

"Second, Second Young Master?"

"What are you doing here?" Yuan Ke tugged on his tie, and glanced at him inadvertently, with the usual sense of contempt, but the corner of his mouth was slightly raised, "Very idle?"

People who are very sick shouldn't be in bed, what should they do in the study early in the morning?

That's right, the person who walked into the study with a bouquet of flowers just now and fell to the ground exclaiming is Zhang Chongji.

At this time, he didn't seem to have reacted yet, and his dazed look was cute.

"Why didn't you see the Second Young Master just now?"

"idiot."

It has to be said that his dazed appearance succeeded in pleasing Yuan Ke, and the rare sense of fatigue subsided like a surprise at this time.

[Ding Dong——Get 5% favorability of the target character "Yuan Ke", and the current favorability is 45%, work hard!Host Sang, the dawn of victory is just ahead, okay? ! 】

Zhang Zhongji's eyes flashed.

Yuan Ke tapped the table with his fingers rhythmically, his chin raised slightly, and the faint dark circles under his eyes did not diminish the handsome and oppressive aura, but added an attractive sense of decadence.

"Who got you up?"

"I, I feel that my health is much better, so I got up to work." Zhang Chongji patted his clothes and stood up, lowering his head and explaining.

"Tch—that's serious enough." Yuan Ke sneered, but with stinging irony, he glanced at Zhang Chongji's thin figure, curled his lips, "You deserve to be sick with this look."

Zhang Chongji shrank his body subconsciously, pulled the corners of his mouth and lowered his eyes, and said softly: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to you, young master, yesterday... Thank you very much, if you didn't put me..."

"Okay." Yuan Ke waved his hands impatiently, but his ears turned slightly red, "What are you doing with all this nonsense, don't have a next time."

Zhang Chongji nodded lightly, looked up to see the documents pushed up on the desk and Yuan Ke's slightly tired face, and asked with some uncertainty: "Second Young Master...did you not sleep yesterday?"

Yuan Ke glanced at him, paused for a moment when he tapped his fingers on the table, and answered "En" after a while.

Zhang Chongji's eyes flickered, and he moved his lips to say something but swallowed it down. In the end, he only said a simple sentence, but with a touch of worry and concern: "Even if there is too much work, please take care of the young master." My body, otherwise I...Brother Yuan will be worried."

The subject changed in the middle, so Yuan Ke glanced at him again, and looked at him with a playful smile and squinted eyes.

"how about you?"

"what?"

"As a housekeeper, it's normal to care about the young master, right?"

Zhang Chongji was stunned, lowered his eyes and said softly: "That's natural."

Yuan Ke snorted in satisfaction, then stood up with his trousers pockets in his pockets, with an unusually good mood: "My young master is going downstairs for dinner."

Zhang Chongji stayed where he was and didn't move, but Yuan Ke who walked to the door frowned, his tone a little impatient: "Why don't you follow up soon?"

Zhang Chongji was taken aback for a moment, his eyes blinked, and he obediently followed behind Yuan Ke.

Walking downstairs, meals are already prepared on the dining table, and the fragrant and attractive smell permeates the air lightly, making people move their index fingers.

Ali was already waiting at the stairs with a respectful smile on her face, and when she saw Yuan Ke's appearance, the smile on her face became brighter (yin) brilliant (qin).

"Second Young Master, are you up? Today's breakfast is German mushroom flame pancakes, and the breakfast drink is vegetable juice."

Yuan Ke nodded slightly, glanced at Zhang Chongji who was following behind him, and sat down slowly.

Ali next to him saw Zhang Chongji behind him, gave him a cold snort of disdain, then turned around respectfully and waited beside Yuan Ke.

Yuan Ke glanced over the meal, paused on the coffee cup beside him, and then frowned slightly.

Seemingly uncertain, Yuan Ke stretched out his hand to pick up the coffee cup, and what caught his eyes was a cup of mellow and strong black coffee.

Heartbroken, Yuan Ke glanced at Zhang Chongji reflexively, only to see him standing beside him with his head bowed and silent.

Yuan Ke frowned more and more.

Since the coffee was replaced with honey water on that day, although he has not drank it, the honey water still appears on the breakfast table every day. Looking at the transparent and fragrant honey water next to him every day, he does not say anything in his heart. After getting used to it for a while, now that he has returned to the black coffee he used to drink, he feels a little unhappy.

Glancing at the maid at the side, Ali, Yuan Ke casually said, "Is this coffee?"

"Oh, I changed this coffee for you, young master." Ali winked and smiled brightly, "I don't know who made it this morning, but I changed the coffee into honey water without authorization. Fortunately, I clever……"

While talking, Ali's brows and eyes were still full of complacency, and she glanced at Zhang Chongji with disdain, as if to say: See, I'm so careful, how can you compare with me?Learn! !

Zhang Chongji lowered his eyes, brown bangs covered his brows and couldn't see his expression clearly, but Ali thought that he was afraid of her and knew how powerful she was, so her aura rose and she forgot Yuan Ke's impatience taboo for a moment. Mouth blah blah blah blah.

"I said young master, I didn't say that, this matter of the kitchen changing the order without authorization is a serious matter, this matter must be handled carefully..."

The corners of Yuan Ke's lips curled up, but his black eyes were as dark as night, and his eyes became colder and colder. He seemed to be looking at Ali with interest, but the violent emotion in his eyes gradually deepened.

"Good job." Yuan Ke lowered his eyes, picked up the cup of black coffee and seemed to take a sip, but the next second the cup of coffee was splashed on Ali's body.

The coffee was just brewed, and some hot liquid splashed on the exposed skin, which was extremely painful. Ali screamed and backed away from the heat.

"Second Young Master!" Zhang Chongji was raised his head by the exclamation, and when he saw such a scene, he naturally exclaimed.

Yuan Ke stroked the rim of the empty glass with his lips curled up and his fingertips. He looked down at Ali who fell on the ground with contemptuous eyes, and said coldly: "Do your own duty, and keep your mouth shut."

Ali shivered and stood up, clutching her burned skin and timidly replied "Yes".

"You can go now."

Ali went down in a panic with a white face, and Zhang Chongji vaguely saw that the arm had been burned with slight blisters, and it seemed that he could feel extremely worried.

Yuan Ke squinted his eyes, and glanced at Zhang Chongji, who was stunned aside. A trace of unknown emotion flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Come here." The ruthless aura just now was gone, and his casual tone seemed to be like the action just now. It's not him.

Zhang Chongji looked up at him, clenched his fist, then let go and walked over.

As soon as he approached, his jaw was clamped. This kind of strong posture made Zhang Chongji struggle to break free, but it was of no avail.

"Second Young Master..."

"I treated her like this," Yuan Ke curled his lips, and the emotion in the corners of his eyes was obviously mocking, "Are you disappointed in your heart?"

"I don't know what the second young master is talking about..." Zhang Chongji, who couldn't break free, could only look at him with his chin raised.

"Do you still think I'm gentle? En?" Yuan Ke squinted his eyes, sneered, and the strength in his hands increased, "I'm afraid this will disappoint you."

Zhang Chongji's eyes flickered, he sighed softly, and lowered his eyes: "You know that Second Young Master doesn't like me, so you don't have to take my words to heart."

Yuan Ke squinted at him, and Zhang Chongji looked straight at him without changing his expression. The two kept their eyes on each other for a while, and Yuan Ke let go of his hand with a cold snort.

[Ding dong——acquired 5% of the favorability of the target person "Yuan Ke", and the current favorability is 50%. Congratulations to the host Sang, now you and the second young master can play ambiguously boldly, thick and thick=v=]

Zhang Zhong stepped aside without changing his face, actually he was a little surprised.

The second young master of the Yuan family is really happy and unpredictable. I have to say that even he was shocked by the scene just now. This kind of unstable bad temper is really a headache, but the 5% increase in favorability just now also surprised me a little. That's it.

Yuan Cheng seems to be really busy these days. After taking care of himself yesterday, he went out in a hurry this morning, but...it doesn't matter, isn't there another one at home?What's more, yesterday he and Yuan Cheng made an agreement with only two people.

Just like this, the two were silent for a while, Zhang Chongji looked down at his shoes, his mind was full of thoughts, but he stood by and didn't say a word.

In the end, Yuan Ke was the first to break the silence.

He cut the pancake, slowly put it into his mouth and chewed it, without even looking at Zhang Zhongji, but narrated an embarrassing question in a flat tone.

"Have you ever kissed my brother?"

Zhang Chongji was stunned for a moment, then blushed: "Second young master!"

"Yes or no?"

Clenching his fist, Zhang Chongji lowered his head and said "En" softly.

The sound was so small that it would be impossible for Yuan Ke to hear it if it wasn't for Yuan Ke's good hearing.

He glanced at Zhang Chongji, saw the flushed cheeks, his eyes darkened, and then said: "Have you gone to bed yet?"

"Second Young Master!"

As if he couldn't stand his question, Zhang Chongji blushed and looked up at him, his eyes stared at him with a look of shame turning into anger.

Yuan Ke sneered, and said casually, "We've kissed too."

"Second Young Master?!" Zhang Chongji looked at him in astonishment.

Yuan Ke's hand holding the knife paused, glanced at Zhang Chongji's blushing and astonished expression, his eyes flickered, and then he seemed to sneer with disdain and said, "Idiot, you also believe such words."
