A person in Wuha: The whole internet is urging me to get back together with my ex!

Chen Ye stood in the cold wind with one hand in his pocket, waving his hand to urge Deng Chao and Chen He towards the convenience store.

"Go away, go away! If you need to use the toilet, hurry up and go to the bathroom. If you need to buy something, hurry up and get out of my way. Don't get in my way."

Watching the group of older men walk away arm in arm, swaying with each step, Chen Ye swiped his phone screen and pressed the answer button.

The screen flashed.

Song Yuqi's fair and delicate face, even without makeup, was brought close to the camera. The background was the soft white pillows in the guesthouse room.

"Hey rich girl, why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night? Checking up on me?" Chen Ye teased, holding up his phone.

Song Yuqi rolled over, clutching the blanket, and pouted, "Where did you guys run off to? It's pitch black behind us."

"Just got off the highway and pulled into a service area to buy some Red Bull to keep going." Chen Ye turned the camera to the gas station sign not far away. "It's a long night, and it'll still be an eight or nine-hour drive to L Prefecture."

Song Yuqi nodded, resting her chin on the pillow: "Who's driving?"

"Old Wang will be the full-time driver for the first half of the night, then Brother Lu will take over, and we'll all be lying in the back."

Upon hearing the words "Lu Han is driving".

A tuft of long black hair suddenly flashed across the edge of the screen, followed by half of a pale arm awkwardly retracting.

Dilraba was actually lying next to Song Yuqi. When she heard Lu Han say on the phone that she had to drive for eight or nine hours through the night, her heart tightened.

The silly roe deer has looked a bit unwell these past few days, and today it was involved in the lottery until midnight. Is it okay for it to drive all night now?

She gripped the corner of the blanket tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white.

For a fleeting moment, I had the urge to rush to the screen, snatch the phone, and tell Chen Yelu to switch people when she got sleepy.

But that lingering arrogance and awkwardness kept her rooted to the spot, so she could only bury her head in the pillow, prick up her ears, and suppress her breathing as much as possible.

Song Yuqi glanced at Dilraba, who was standing stiffly beside her, and instantly understood.

"Look, Dilraba is sleeping with me tonight." Song Yuqi deliberately tilted the camera towards Dilraba, only revealing half of Dilraba's bright red ear. "Boss Chen, I guess I've finally slept with a top-tier female star, right?"

Chen Ye looked at the screen and laughed.

This girl's really something. While I'm away, she's learned to sleep with female celebrities.

"Why are you two sleeping together?" Chen Ye asked casually.

"I was planning to go to sleep, but once we started talking about clothes and nail art, I couldn't stop," Song Yuqi said with a smile. "Reba just recommended an absolutely gorgeous lipstick to me."

Chen Ye nodded: "That's good. It's good to have someone to keep you company. Have fun in Chongqing. Eat less spicy food, or you'll wake up with a sore throat tomorrow morning."

The two chatted for a few more minutes, about trivial things, but the pink bubbles almost burst the screen.

Just then, the convenience store's automatic sensor door opened with a ding.

Deng Chao and Chen He each carried a huge plastic bag filled with Red Bull, coffee, and various snacks as they swaggered over.

"Alright, they're out." Chen Ye looked at the two approaching people. "I'll send a WeChat message as soon as I get to L Prefecture. I'm going to get in the car and take a nap."

"Okay~" Song Yuqi nodded, drawing out the last syllable. "You take good care of yourself too, don't catch a cold."

Chen Ye hung up the video call and put his phone back in his pocket.

As soon as he turned around, Chen He's big face was right next to him.

"Ouch—" Deng Chao said in a high-pitched, sarcastic tone, "I'll text you when I get there~ Take care of yourself too~"

"We've only been apart for a few hours! Checking up on him all night!" Chen He nudged Chen Ye's waist with his elbow. "Boss Chen, you haven't even put on the ring yet, I think your future standing in the family is in jeopardy!"

Deng Chao immediately followed suit, opening a can of Red Bull with his bare hands and gulping it down: "Seriously! This sticky stuff in the middle of the night is practically killing this old man with sourness! Don't you young people leave any room for single people to survive when you're dating?"

Chen Ye turned his head and rolled his eyes at Deng Chao.

"Hey Chao-ge, how dare you talk to me like that?" Chen Ye retorted without hesitation. "Who's it that calls Sister Li every day without fail, morning, noon, and night, to report their schedule? They even have to have Sister Li review their boxed lunches!"

"I think Li Jie is getting annoyed with you every day. She might block you any day now." Chen Ye crossed his arms.

Deng Chao was stunned when his lungs were hit, then he stiffened his neck and loudly argued his case.

"Bullshit! You don't know anything! How can we be the same?" Deng Chao pointed to his own nose and said righteously.

"We have the kind of relationship that comes from an old married couple! Besides, how could Li-jie possibly be annoyed by me? She loves me so much; she can't sleep without me!"

Deng Chao's words were loud and clear, but his shifty eyes betrayed his guilty conscience.

Lu Han, who had been standing silently to the side, was stomping her feet in the cold wind while hugging her arms.

The night wind in the northern service area was blowing straight down my neck.

"Stop talking nonsense! Get in the car!" Lu Han trembled as she opened the driver's side door. "If this wind keeps blowing, I'll have to go to the emergency room before I even get to L state!"

The group quickly climbed into the carriage and slammed the doors shut.

The seating arrangement was reshuffled.

Lu Han sat in the driver's seat, while Wang Zhengyu waited in the passenger seat with a thermos of goji berries.

Chen He, with his terrifying size, lay horizontally in the last row, while Chen Ye and Deng Chao nestled in the two large empty seats in the middle.

The car was restarted and drove onto the dark highway.

The heating in the carriage was on full blast, and Deng Chao and Chen He soon put on blindfolds and began snoring loudly.

Chen Ye, however, felt no sleepiness whatsoever.

He opened WeChat, looked at the hundreds of contacts on the screen, and quickly planned out the grand occasion for the proposal.

That was a promise to Song Yuqi for life, and it had to be done in a grand and glorious way to win over those who were on good terms with him.

Chen Ye's finger slid across the screen, his gaze finally settling on "Teacher He's" profile picture.

But Chen Ye looked up and glanced at the car's timer.

It was past 2 a.m.

It's the middle of the night, I wonder if Teacher He is asleep or not.

Chen Ye tentatively typed a line of text and sent it.

【Teacher He, are you asleep?】

I thought I wouldn't receive a reply to this message until tomorrow morning.

As a result, the top of the WeChat interface instantly changed to "The other party is typing...".

This cultivation speed is outrageous.

A few seconds later, a voice message that lasted more than ten seconds was sent.

Chen Ye held the phone to his ear and turned it on.

Teacher He's gentle voice came through: "What's wrong, Xiao Ye? You're still awake? You were reading and lost track of time. You called me in the middle of the night. Did something urgent happen?"

Chen Ye smiled. He pressed the voice button and got straight to the point.

"Mr. He, it's nothing urgent, I just wanted to ask if you have some free time these next couple of days. I'm planning to propose to Yuqi the day after tomorrow and was thinking of inviting you to be a witness. I was wondering if that would be convenient for you?"

The message was sent successfully in less than three seconds.

"Whoosh—"

The other side immediately sent a voice message that lasted half a minute.

Chen Ye opened the app and, even through the phone screen, heard a deafening roar of ecstasy and excitement.

"Oh my god!! Really?!" Teacher He completely lost his usual composure, his voice trembling with excitement, "Congratulations, Xiao Ye! You finally proposed! My goodness, this is such a joyous occasion!"

"I have time! I'm currently on vacation in Shacheng! When and where? I'll have my assistant book the tickets right now!"

Hearing Teacher He's eagerness to fly over on the spot, Chen Ye shook his head with amusement.

He pressed the talk button to reply: "Actually, I didn't go to Shacheng. The location is set in Lzhou. It will be officially held in the next two days, probably the day after tomorrow. I am currently driving to Lzhou with Brother Chao, Brother He, Brother Lu, and Lao Wang overnight. I plan to take a nap after we arrive and then quickly check on the venue setup. Tomorrow, Yuqi and the others will fly over to join us after they finish recording the show in Chongqing."

send.

There was complete silence on the other end of WeChat for a minute.

Driving all night to plan a marriage proposal? These guys are really wild.

Soon, Teacher He's text message popped up.

Okay! I understand the situation completely.

This was followed by a long voice message: "Xiao Ye, send me the address! I'm not sleeping tonight. I'll wake my assistant right away and have her check the earliest flight. I should be able to get to L State this afternoon to meet up with you! How could I miss such a big event!"

A warm feeling welled up in Chen Ye's heart. It was truly rare to find such a genuine and ever-present elder in the industry.

Chen Ye typed a reply: 【Thank you, Teacher He. I'm sorry to have troubled you so late at night.】

Teacher He replied with a final message.

You're welcome! It's an honor that you thought of inviting me for such an important event in my life as a marriage proposal. See you in L state this afternoon!

Chen Ye replied with an OK emoji and exited the chat.

He continued scrolling through his contacts on his phone.

Huang Bo, Huang Lei, Zhang Yixing... the brothers from the Men's Gang definitely had to be invited, but Chen Ye glanced at the time and it was almost 2:30 in the morning.

Teacher He can reply instantly while reading. Huang Lei is probably sleeping soundly with his wife right now. If I call him now and wake up the old fox, he'll definitely chase me down with a frying pan tomorrow.

Chen Ye locked the screen and tossed the phone into the storage compartment next to him.

We'll bombard them with calls for reinforcements one by one tomorrow morning.

He adjusted the seat back and found a comfortable position to lie down.

The next big thing is how to turn that fan meeting venue into a very romantic place for a marriage proposal.

By the way, let's scrap Weibo again.

Chen Ye closed his eyes, his mind racing as he conceived the order of the new song's appearance and the stage lighting.

The black van tore through the night, speeding headlong towards L state.
