My Underachieving Seatmate Doesn't Need Any Comforting Chapter 118

Chapter 118 – Ten Years Later (1)

Ten years later–

Wei Jiayu, the film, television and music tri-star, has landed himself on the hot search for the nth time!

His agent, Ms. Lin Fei was already used to this so she calmly opened the search and took a look …

“F*ck!” The elegant and beautiful Ms. Lin couldn’t help but blurt out an expletive.

They were inside the nanny car and Wei Jiayu was in the middle of playing a game. “What’s wrong?”

Lin Fei grabbed his mobile phone and handed her own mobile phone over to him. Wei Jiayu wasn’t at all happy about that. “I just started a game, are you trying to make me sabotage my teammates …” he said while looking at both screens.

The top entry was — Wei Jiayu, Shen Hai’s Young Master Qiao Caught in an Extramarital Affair.

Wei Jiayu hurried clicked open the article. One look at it and he was rendered completely speechless.

Wei Jiayu and Shen Hai’s Young Master’s Shady Evening Date

The Qiao Family and Xie Family’s Alliance by Marriage: Was this Same-s.e.x Marriage driven by Mutual Profit?

Just over a month after the wedding, Qiao Shao is already in an affair with Movie Emperor Wei Jiayu. Does Xie Shen know?

“What a mess.” Wei Jiayu threw the phone away.

Lin Fei angrily said, “Can you stop? Why do you have to be on such intimate terms with the Qiao Family’s Young Master? That young master isn’t someone we can afford to provoke! Who doesn’t know of Xie Shen’s infamous temper? Anyone who shows even the slightest bit of interest in Qiao Shao will be driven bankrupt!”

Wei Jiayu’s ear was starting to hurt but he had no way to easily explain it.

This was also his own fault. When he graduated from Beiying, he staked his everything and entered the entertainment industry. No matter what, he refused to expose his relations.h.i.+p with Qiao Shao and He Shen, determined to produce results by his own merits.

He had it coming to him. Nowadays, even meetings with old friends turn into a scandal.

Lin Fei recounted for him. “Look at yourself. Last last month, you were photographed acting all intimate with Lou Shen. Then last month, you were embracing the Turing Award recipient, Dr. Chen. This month is even worse! You dare incur G.o.d of death Xie Shen’s wrath!”

Wei Jiayu waved his hand and said, “You don’t have to worry about it, Shen, um, I mean Xie Shen will definitely erase the hot search.” Usually things like these that were related to Qiao Shao wouldn’t have a chance of ever appearing. Now, that it’s blown up, it must definitely be Qiao Shao’s intention to let it blow up. He suspected Qiao Shao was teasing him, forcing him to clarify their relations.h.i.+p.

But this kind of gossip that gave He Shen a “green hat”, even if he were indulging Qiao Shao, Shen Ge wouldn’t let it hang around for too long.

Lin Fei’s heart was starting to ache. “Can’t you be a little bit more careful! Is removing a hot search such a simple matter? You offended Xie Shen! You think you’re still going to have a good day after this!”

Wei Jiayu took his phone back and sighed. “Relax, it’s okay. I’m really am a straight man.” He opened the game and continued to play.

Lin Fei almost choked to death!

Although everyone online loved blackening Wei Jiayu, saying he was bis.e.xual, saying that both men and women were fair game to him, that he’ll go for anyone he likes but the truth was…

Lin Fei had no idea about his s.e.xual orientation.

If you say that he is, then how come he’s never had a boyfriend for so many years? But if you say that he isn’t, then how come he hasn’t had a girlfriend for so many years?

However, he was constantly the subject of scandals — An ambiguous relations.h.i.+p with the e-sports G.o.d, an affair with a well-known scientist, and now he even has late night private meetings with the Qiao’s Family’s Young Master, emmm … Right, you’re straight, absolutely straight!

In the Shen Hai Building, sunlight filled the floor-to-ceiling windows. The man leaned back on his swivel chair and chuckled as he looked at the news on the screen.

Secretary w.a.n.g Yun couldn’t help but be stunned when she came in.

Their little President Qiao was really too good-looking, especially when he smiled. His refined and cultured appearance looked like a piece of rare fine jade. No wonder President He cherished him so much, as though he wanted to hold him in the palm of his hand, feeling like ten years pa.s.sed as quickly as a day.

“President Qiao,” w.a.n.g Yun said softly, “your coffee.”

The man looked up, the delicate facial features contained not even the slightest flaw. “You can just set it down.”

w.a.n.g Yun didn’t dare look at him. “Is there anything else you need?”

The man smiled, his voice sounded as delicate as the man himself. “Nothing else. Oh right, let me know once He Shen comes back.”

As soon as w.a.n.g Yun nodded, the man across from her suddenly stood up. The slender figure like bamboo made her heart thump and she couldn’t lift her head.

“We were just talking about you and now you’re back?” The man’s voice was clear and bright, but he wasn’t addressing her.

w.a.n.g Yun froze for a moment, and then heard the deep voice behind her. “If I hadn’t come back, gra.s.s would grow so tall on my head, it could feed horses.”

It’s President He!

w.a.n.g Yun quickly turned around and greeted, “h.e.l.lo, President He.”

He Shen responded softly.

This time, w.a.n.g Yun didn’t even dare look. She walked out holding the tray. When she was about to go out, she snuck a peek and saw the two standing side by side.

So picturesque! ! ! w.a.n.g Yun suppressed the shrieking groundhog in her heart and ran back to the secretarial department to let it out!

In the office, He Shen gave a smile that was yet not a smile. “Bullying Wei Jiayu again?”

Qiao Shao said, “He’s a superstar now. He too good for his old cla.s.smates.”

He Shen said, “His agency will have to make him lie low. Then he won’t be too good for us anymore.”

Qiao Shao was amused. “He’ll fight you for sure.”

He Shen glanced at the news and said. “Having private late night meetings with my wife, just having him lay low is already for the sake of our old friends.h.i.+p.”

Qiao Shao stared at him. “Who are your calling your wife!”

He Shen dodged skillfully and said easily, “Oh, I meant my husband.”

Gooseb.u.mps rose all over Qiao Shao’s skin. “Go, go, go! Get lost!”

Since becoming a legal husbands, this shameless scoundrel has become very attached to this fatal t.i.tle.

He Shen grabbed his waist and kissed him. “Ah, yes. The shared dream machine I mentioned before has completed the clinical trials. Would you like to try it?”

Qiao Shao was excited to hear it. “Can it be used already?”

He Shen nodded. “Yes.”

Qiao Shao took his hand and said, “Take me to see it!”

This was a by-product of the holographic technology developed by the He Shen’s team in recent years. It wasn’t taken very seriously at first but later it was found that it had certain medical applications, so investments were poured in and they researched it thoroughly.

The so-called shared-dreaming allowed for two people to have the same dream. This technology was quite mysterious at first glance, but actually, if you want to thoroughly develop holographic technology, this difficulty needed to be overcome.

The human brain’s defense is lowered when in sleep. It was easier to conduct collection, simulation and so-called information correlation.

The research and development of the dream-sharing machine opened a brand-new window for psychological treatment. If the psychiatrists could properly a.s.similate this technology, it will be a lot easier to treat patients suffering from mental illnesses.

He Shen’s motivation for developing this technology was also due to Qiao Shao’s experience—that psychological torment was a huge trauma for both the patients and their families. Today, despite the new developments being produced each day, the deaths caused by psychological issues was alarming. This field of study needed to be given more importance.

Qiao Shao went to the laboratory and saw Chen Su who was in-charge of the relevant projects.

Over the past ten years, the green and immature youths have grown into top figures in their various fields. Lou Xiao came to fame the earliest. By 20 years of age, he had won three world champions.h.i.+ps and was considered as a wonder of the e-sports circle. Now that he has retired from being a pro-gamer, he has taken on the position of league chairman and remained as a very influential figure.

Wei Jiayu, just as he wished, entered the entertainment industry and last year, won the distinction of Film Emperor. Not to be outdone, Chen Su, after graduating from the California Inst.i.tute of Sciences, partic.i.p.ated in numerous studies. After winning the Turing Award, he returned home and became He Shen’s strongest research partner.

Ten years was both very short and very long, though they’ve shed their naivety and immaturity, they nevertheless retained their intentions from all those years ago.

Chen Su was still his usual taciturn self. Only when he sees an old friend does he curve his lips into a smile. “Want to try dream sharing?”

Qiao Shao asked curiously, “Is it really possible?”

Chen Su said, “There were no mistakes in the current clinical trials.”

Qiao Shao was simply breathless with wonder. “That’s amazing. This was something you could only see in science fiction movies ten years ago.”

Chen Su smiled, “The only gap between science fiction and reality is time.”

When the time comes, science fiction can become a reality. The history of man’s scientific and technological achievements have proved that time and time again.

They looked around, and Qiao Shao was tempted. He looked to He Shen. “Let’s try it tonight?”

He Shen asked him, “Want to see my dream?”

Qiao Shao was dazed for a moment and unexpectedly said, “Let’s look at my dream.”

He Shen was quite surprised. “Why?”

Qiao Shao said confidently, “Just look at mine first!”

He Shen smiled and said, “Alright.”

Dreaming was actually a delicate matter. They say that when you have something you’re thinking about in the morning, you will dream about at night. But actually, the brain was a very inexplicable thing. There are times that the more you thought about something, the more chaotic it becomes and your dreams would also become chaotic.

Qiao Shao did not know if he could induce that dream, but he wanted to try …

The dream machine was very small, just like a helmet and it was comfortable to wear to sleep.

He Shen confirmed with him. “You won’t have any consciousness in the dream.” The dreamer won’t know that he’s dreaming.

Qiao Shao looked at him. “But you will?”

He Shen said, “I will.”

Qiao Shao smiled. “That’s fine then.”

He Shen kissed his forehead and lay beside him. He didn’t know what kind of dream Qiao Shao wanted to show him, but it didn’t matter. He was very interested in Qiao Shao’s every dream.

The users of a dream-sharing machine was divided into the primary dreamer and the secondary dreamer.

The main dreamer was the person who was having the dream. The secondary dreamer was mainly an observer. They may partic.i.p.ate in the dream or they may just take a look. This was also to make it convenient for psychiatrists to treat patients.

He Shen was now serving as the secondary dreamer. When he opened his eyes, he knew where he was.

Turns out it’s this kind of dream…

He Shen smiled, and felt the stem that he was grasping in his hand. He didn’t even have to look to know that it was a lily, the white lily he’d held as a seven-year-old who stubbornly wanted to give it to his mother.

He Shen’s memory was very good. Perhaps it is this exceptional memory that made everything around him so detailed as if it were real.

In reality, at around this time, he would be discovered by the maid and brought back to the banquet hall. Qiao Shao picked up this lily …

He Shen turned his head and looked at the bushes there. Those bushes that were now completely different in reality. Qiao Xiao Shao who was supposed to be hiding there suddenly jumped out.

Seeing his lover so young, He Shen was stunned.

This was Qiao Shao who hasn’t yet experienced being kidnapped, Qiao Shao who grew up in a gentle family, Xiao Qiao Shao, white and tender like tofu, still with baby fat…

He’s so cute, He Shen’s heart went soft.

Xiao Qiao Shao stepped forward and took his hand. “Come with me!”

This sweet sticky voice made He Shen feel like he’d taken a bite of strawberry daif.u.ku.

In Qiao Shao’s dream, it was obvious that He Shen was only seven years old. Since he was a child, his strength was also comparable to a child’s. He Shen was easily dragged into the bushes by this little Qiao Shao.

He Shen stared at him, and Qiao Xiao Shao thought he was scared and explained. “Someone’s chasing you.”

As soon as his voice fell, the sound of footsteps came from outside, and there was an anxious cry from the maid, “Young Master! Where are you, young master? Stop fooling around, young master. Master is looking for you everywhere!”

Xiao Qiao Shao’s soft index finger touched his lips and winked at him. “Don’t make a sound.”

He Shen didn’t say anything, he just approached him suddenly and pecked his tender cheek.

Xiao Qiao’s eyes suddenly widened.

He Shen’s eyes curved into a smile and he told him, “My name is He Shen.”

Xiao Qiao Shao answered, dumbfounded, “My name is Qiao Shao.”

“En,” He Shen’s lips ticked up in a smile. “When you grow up, will you marry me?”

Xiao Qiao Shao: “???
