The Villain Just Want to Be a Slacker [Transmigration]

26

Ye Zexi was thoroughly satisfied with the dinner at the Ye family residence.

Though Ye Jianbin was a rather serious person, his concern for Ye Zexi was evident through his actions and demeanor.

Yan Man and Ye Haoyan did not harbor any fondness for Ye Zexi, but they kept their discontent concealed and treated him with a reasonable amount of warmth.

Nevertheless, the most satisfying aspect for Ye Zexi was the evening's meal.

It was far better than the boxed meals he had endured during the past month on 'The Times Idol'!

Particularly, the small fried fish was irresistible. The golden, crispy fish exploded with flavor in his mouth, and Ye Zexi found himself unable to stop after just one.

[Translator P.S.: Dried fish is truly delicious. My mother always prepares it during the harvest season because freshwater fish are readily available then. Even just dried fish with hot rice is more than satisfying at that time, haha.]

The aroma of the fish lingered, and Ye Zexi was tempted all the way home.

Arriving home at a reasonable hour, Ye Zexi planned to relax in bed, watch the live finale of 'The Times Idol,' and enjoy the small fish.

Once back in the villa, he turned on the lights and settled onto his bed, ready to turn on the TV. However, he suddenly sensed something amiss.

He hesitated, feeling a warm body beneath him. Ye Zexi jumped up in alarm and quickly threw back the covers—

A man was lying in his bed, clutching his pillow and blanket, sound asleep.

As Ye Zexi debated whether to call the police or make a scene, he noticed the man's distinctive blue hair.

Ye Zexi's eyes widened in recognition. This person was Li Weifei, a friend of the original owner, who, like Gao Shu, had a key to Ye Zexi's home.

Clenching his fists, Ye Zexi decided it was time to change the locks.

He scowled and shook Li Weifei awake. "Wake up!"

Li Weifei, initially grumpy from being roused, immediately brightened up upon seeing Ye Zexi.

He sprang out of bed and threw his arms around Ye Zexi. "Yezi! Where have you been? I've been waiting at your place all night!"

Ye Zexi pushed him away, turned on the TV, and tuned into the 'The Times Idol' live broadcast before responding, "I just came back. Why are you here?"

Li Weifei looked hurt. "Why wouldn't I be? You went through such a big event, and you didn't even tell me! I sent you so many messages on WeChat, and you didn't reply to any. If I hadn't come to find you, would you even remember me?"

Understanding his concern, Ye Zexi explained, "There were too many messages yesterday, so I didn't check WeChat."

Li Weifei snorted, somewhat mollified.

Ye Zexi opened the small fish that Yan Man had packed for him and asked, "Do you want some?"

Li Weifei, who had waited all afternoon and skipped dinner, was indeed hungry.

He got up from the bed, sat next to Ye Zexi, and nodded. "Yes."

As they watched the live broadcast of 'The Times Idol,' Li Weifei, munching on the fish, lamented, "I just don't understand. You could have debuted in the center position. It wasn't your fault; it was that idiot Cui Yi's mistake. Why did you have to withdraw from the competition?"

"What a pity, giving up your spot to someone else like that!" Li Weifei took another bite of the fish, his frustration palpable as if he were the one missing out on the debut.
