[BL] Transmigrating into the Reborn Male Lead's Ex-Boyfriend

Ch40 - But He's My Boyfriend

Song Xuanhe stared at the incoming call screen for a long time, his finger hovering over the "accept call" icon. However, he never pressed down on it.

Two seconds later, his phone stopped ringing.

He moved his thumb away, slightly pursing his lips as he stared at his phone. He waited five minutes, but no other call came. Song Xuanhe exhaled slightly. He didn't know if he was disappointed or glad. He then turned off his phone's screen and lied back down onto the bed.

【Why didn't you pick up the bigshot's call?】The System asked.

【Is this a scene I have to act out?】Song Xuanhe had already known that the System would ask about this. His tone was very calm.

The System was taken aback. It then said：【No.】

【Since it's not a scene I have to act, then you Systems don't have to meddle with how I handle it.】After saying this, Song Xuanhe shut his eyes. He grabbed the blanket underneath him and rolled over. He then scrunched up the blanket and held it in his arms, one leg pressing down on it. He seemed to be preparing to sleep.

The System also watched over Xiao Yuanmu, who didn't seem normal. The other was sitting on a bench inside the hospital calmly. The System could see that Song Xuanhe obviously didn't want to talk about this anymore. When it thought about his bad mood just now, it swallowed its doubt and warning back down. It didn't detect any abnormalities in the data, so the System figured that it had probably sensed something incorrectly.

It was once again the weekend. Song Xuanhe finally decided to have a meal with Guan Zhi. It was just that Wei Chen had also come with.

When he sat down at the table, Song Xuanhe felt a bit out of it. Two of Xiao Yuanmu's future pursuers were sitting in front of him, and they were all eating together.

"What are you thinking about?" Wei Chen was very perceptive. He had felt it the moment Song Xuanhe's eyes had fallen on him. He didn't know why, but although Song Xuanhe's gaze on him and Guan Zhi seemed pretty normal, he still felt like something was off.

Despite having been caught staring, Song Xuanhe didn't feel guilty in the least. He leaned back in his chair, appearing carefree, and said, "I didn't expect for you and Guan Zhi to be related."

"We're cousins." Guan Zhi, who had been looking at the menu, looked up. "But, my mom and his mom are half-sisters. They have different mothers. Therefore, we don't see each other often."

Guan Zhi's words made it apparent that he didn't really want to be associated with Wei Chen. Song Xuanhe couldn't help but glance at Wei Chen's expression. The corner of Wei Chen's lips was slightly raised, and he looked like he hadn't even heard what Guan Zhi had said. However, when he noticed Song Xuanhe's gaze, he nodded slightly. "He's right."

They were cousins who seemed not too close to the point where they even seemed to dislike each other quite a bit. No wonder the book had never mentioned their relationship. Neither of them seemed like they wanted to mention it either.

When he recalled the indifferent way Wei Chen had introduced Guan Zhi last time as well as the expressions of concealed surprise—especially from Zhou Nan—from the other people, Song Xuanhe felt like he could probably guess why.

After Guan Zhi had ordered their food, he handed the menu over to the waiter and looked up. "Song Xuanhe, have you ever had millet fish from Liangbei? Its meat is very delicious and tender. It's a really good fish to have filleted."

Song Xuanhe had eaten it before. Back then, when he had seen it online, he had ordered his people to get it imported from Liangbei. All other fish he had ever eaten were nothing compared to the dish Xiao Yuanmu had made out of this fish.
