After Fatty woke up, he realized something was wrong. Helian Yue was in the same situation. However, after Helian Yue woke up, she remained silent, went to the bathroom to wash up and change.
Initially, Fatty worried if the girl could not accept it and might do something rash in the bathroom. But after she came out, Fatty knew he had overthought it. Helian Yue did not seem like a fragile woman. It was certain she couldn't accept it, but she wouldn't do anything foolish.
But Fatty was utterly confused, completely bewildered as to why this had happened.
He did not think Helian Yue had plotted against him or done anything to him.
Fatty had self-awareness. He felt Helian Yue probably looked down on him, so there was no reason for her to do this. She was likely also plotted against, but why with him?
If Helian Yue hadn't ignored him, Fatty would have had many questions and couldn't help but ask.
Fatty felt that Helian Yue definitely looked down on him. As for Fatty himself, while Helian Yue was beautiful, he couldn't handle her personality. He had been frozen by her coldness before. Now that this had happened, should he, should he take responsibility?
He was still a man. Regardless of whether it was voluntary or not, since it had happened, he would definitely take responsibility. Because no matter what, he had benefited from this situation.
He just didn't know what Helian Yue thought. He still had to respect her opinion.
Fatty also took a bath in the bathroom. When he came out, he found Helian Yue still there. He felt that no matter what, it was necessary for him to have a good talk with Helian Yue. So, he sat down not far from her.
However, Fatty was still mindful of maintaining a certain distance from Helian Yue.
After what happened, Helian Yue might be annoyed seeing him and be in a very bad mood. He couldn't actively sit too close and take advantage of her.
After sitting down, Fatty spoke to Helian Yue, "Um, Miss Helian, I don't know why all this happened, but I'm not saying this to shirk responsibility... What I mean is, if you need it, I, I will take responsibility. What do you think?"
Hearing Fatty's words, Helian Yue looked up at him. Unsure of what she was thinking, she finally spoke her first sentence, "There's no need to take responsibility. Neither of us was willing, so there's no need to bind anyone with this."
"Besides, you don't like me, and I don't like you. There's no need to tie us together for this reason."
Fatty understood. She truly looked down on him. Even if they were to get together because of what happened, she didn't want to choose him.
But Fatty wouldn't feel any dissatisfaction because of this, as he had already felt that it was normal for Helian Yue to look down on him. He just didn't know what Helian Yue planned to do next.
But this way, the conversation went cold again, and Fatty didn't know what else to say.
The atmosphere was awkward. Fatty scratched his ears and cheeks, thinking for a while, but couldn't come up with a solution. "Um, then what do you plan to do?"
Helian Yue looked at Fatty for a moment, then said word by word, "Pretend nothing happened."
Fatty saw that Helian Yue's attitude was very firm. She wished she had never seen him. Then, it seemed he couldn't do anything else. She said she didn't need him to take responsibility, and if he was to pretend nothing happened, then perhaps it was best for him to leave now?
"Alright then. Since this is your thought, I respect your opinion. However, my words are still valid. If you ever need me for anything in the future, I will do what I can. For now, I'll be leaving. I think you probably don't want to see me. You, take care of yourself."
Fatty hesitated as he spoke to Helian Yue. Seeing that Helian Yue had nothing more to say after their brief exchange, he sighed, tidied his clothes, found his phone, and left the room.
After leaving the room, Fatty felt a bit lost, unsure of what to do. After this incident, Fatty felt somewhat at a loss.
After thinking about it, he still felt he should find Ye Tiancheng. But he didn't know which room Ye Tiancheng was resting in. It was so late, and there was no one moving around nearby. Fatty took out his phone and called Ye Tiancheng.
Coincidentally, Ye Tiancheng was talking to Xiao Huli. When the phone rang, he answered immediately.
"Hello? Fatty? Are you okay?"
Fatty subconsciously replied first, "I'm fine, Brother Ye. Where are you resting? I want to come find you, is that okay?"
Ye Tiancheng replied to Fatty, "Come to Xiao Huli's room. You know where he is, right?"
Fatty said, "I know. I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Fatty realized something was wrong. Fatty remembered that Ye Tiancheng had gone to rest earlier than them and was arranged on a different floor than Xiao Huli and the others, resting in a separate room. How could he be in Xiao Huli's room?
At first, he thought maybe Ye Tiancheng had something to find Xiao Huli for, so he went over. But then he remembered that the first thing Ye Tiancheng asked him after answering the phone was if he was okay. This was unusual.
Did Ye Tiancheng know something had happened to him?
Fatty found it strange. Holding his phone, he hesitated for a moment, then thought that Ye Tiancheng wouldn't harm him. There might be some reason in between. He didn't understand anything now, so it was better not to overthink it alone. He put away his phone and went to find Ye Tiancheng.
No matter what, after he met Ye Tiancheng, he would know what had happened, right?
After Fatty made up his mind, he continued towards Xiao Huli's room.
When he arrived at Xiao Huli's room, Ye Tiancheng and Xiao Huli were both waiting for him. Seeing them both so awake, Fatty knew they were likely not woken up by him, but rather were already awake.
When he appeared at the door, Ye Tiancheng and the others opened the door, and their first reaction was to look him up and down. Fatty truly felt that Ye Tiancheng might know something had happened.
"Come in first. This isn't a place to talk outside," Xiao Huli called from behind. Ye Tiancheng then led Fatty into the room.
After entering the room, Fatty asked urgently, "Brother Ye, do you already know about my situation?"
Hearing Fatty's question, Ye Tiancheng recalled his earlier call with Fatty. Perhaps he was too anxious and didn't hide his thoughts. Fearing Fatty would overthink, he quickly explained to Fatty, "I do know. However, it was already quite late when I found out. At that time..."
"Anyway, it wasn't good to disturb you, and also, that person... In short, that's why I didn't tell you in advance, but waited until it was convenient for you to come find us. We were just waiting for you to contact us."
"I'm sorry, Fatty. We couldn't help you much at that time. If we had intervened, it would have only made you more awkward."
Fatty understood now. Ye Tiancheng really knew everything, but he couldn't blame him. He thought about when Ye Tiancheng might have found out. If he were in Ye Tiancheng's shoes, he wouldn't be able to butt in and disturb them either.
Fatty had nothing to say about this. So he just said to Ye Tiancheng, "Brother Ye, there's nothing to apologize for. In such a situation, anyone would be unable to do anything. It's not your fault. This is not Brother Ye's fault."
Ye Tiancheng listened and couldn't help but touch his nose.
To say that this matter had nothing to do with him, Ye Tiancheng felt guilty hearing it. Strictly speaking, it couldn't be said that it had absolutely nothing to do with him.
After all, if it weren't for him, without Ye Tiancheng's existence, no one from the Helian family would have had the idea to cause all these troubles. And when things went wrong, it would have implicated Fatty.
Ye Tiancheng could only be thankful that this was not a malicious plot. Although Fatty was plotted against, nothing truly bad happened.
It could only be said that Helian Yue suffered the most in the entire incident.
As for Fatty, he wondered how Ye Tiancheng and the others knew about these things in advance. Regarding this, Fatty felt it was a bit ominous.
He always felt there was a pitfall somewhere, but he had already fallen into it, and it was too late to get out.
Even though he thought this, Fatty couldn't help but want to ask.
"But Brother Ye, how did you guys know about my situation?" Fatty asked cautiously.
Ye Tiancheng was stunned and exchanged glances with Xiao Huli.
Explaining such a matter was always a bit awkward, but he couldn't not explain. With things having escalated to this point, he had to say what needed to be said.
Ye Tiancheng glanced at Xiao Huli. Xiao Huli understood, knowing that his older brother didn't know how to explain, so he took it upon himself. He was slightly better off. Although it was also awkward, he felt more at ease than the other party involved.
Xiao Huli coughed and said, "I'll explain the details to you, Fatty."
Fatty was afraid it would be a very embarrassing situation, but if it had already happened, and he knew nothing, it would be even worse. So it was better to understand in advance. Fatty nodded, "You tell me."
Xiao Huli then explained the whole story to him.
The story was a bit complicated and would take some time, but not too much time. In short, it was finally explained.
After Xiao Huli finished explaining everything, there was only silence in the room.
Fatty didn't know if he was unlucky, or if Ye Tiancheng was unlucky, or if Helian Yue was unlucky.
Helian Yue was truly the one who sacrificed the most in the entire incident.
Fatty was speechless to the extreme. He didn't expect that they not only knew, but also witnessed it firsthand. And the people who witnessed it firsthand were not just Ye Tiancheng and Xiao Huli, but also Helian Yue's biological father, Helian Yi, and several people brought by Helian Yi.
After Ye Tiancheng knew all the details, he finally asked Fatty, "After Miss Helian woke up on your side, what did she mean by that?"
Fatty was helpless, but he knew that this matter still needed to be discussed and decided. So he told Ye Tiancheng truthfully, "After she woke up, she barely spoke, and just stayed silent. When I asked her, she only replied two sentences in total."
"The first was that she didn't want me to take responsibility, and the second was to pretend nothing happened."
"Actually, I know my own worth. Miss Helian definitely wouldn't like someone like me. I'm not like you, Brother Ye, who is not only capable but also good-looking. I'm definitely not comparable."
Hearing Fatty say this, Ye Tiancheng didn't quite agree. He thought Fatty was quite good, at least he could be considered among good men. But it was indeed difficult to find a partner, and Helian Yue probably truly disliked him.
