We’re All Especially Sympathizing With That Man

Chapter 3 – Parking Spot Occupied

Edited by CxZ

After his “sincere” conversation with Yuan Zhan, Yan Jingxi left the residential villa, which was under their names, with a belly full of anger.

Yuan Zhan didn’t think much about Yan Jingxi’s little state of mind, as he was still at a loss on how he would attack the other party next.

He needed to attack the other party, yet also didn’t want to be involved with the other party. It was indeed contradictory according to common sense, but Yuan Zhan did not consider the game character standing in front of him as an actual living person. There was no sense of immersion for him. After all, in his eyes, the other party was only a character from the game or novel. So he temporarily distinguished the person in front of him to be his capture target, just like in the game.

A week had passed since he came into this world, yet this was his first encounter with the capture target. Yuan Zhan was not good at quickly adapting to change. Within minutes after meeting Yan Jingxi, he rushed to show his hospitality to the man he liked to capture when playing the game. He didn’t care if Yan Jingxi had a bad personality or not. At this moment, the only information he knew about was that there is a white moonlight named Bai Yueguang in Yan Jingxi’s heart.

First, he must sort out the main and side storylines, because he was afraid of making careless mistakes.

Regardless of whether it was a game or a novel, there was already a final ending for the protagonist. The author always provides the protagonist with unbelievably good fortunes and cheats. Yuan Zhan was now simply a supporting role in the game. He really had to think carefully about a long-term plan. Today’s first plan worked out quite well, at the very least, the matter of divorce had been postponed.　　

With the original owner’s memory, Yuan Zhan had a plan to deal with the whole Yan Jingxi affair.

The question now comes back to the point, how should he start his plan to capture Yan Jingxi?

Starting from his weakness? His weakness was his white moonlight which wouldn’t work.

Starting from his parents? Nowadays Yan Jingxi has the right to speak in the Yan family. He doesn’t need to listen to others. Instead, he would persuade his parents to let himself go with him. Looking for his parents would not work.

Starting from their marriage to sell misery1? Their marriage has already approached the end. They have been living separately for two years and what kind of misery have the original owner been selling? Nevertheless, it didn’t work.

1Deliberately showing off miserable status in order to win people’s sympathy.

Fuck, he couldn’t find a single point of connection between them where they can communicate. They have been married for more than three years. Was the original master so obsessed with their wedding photos every day and ignored everything else? There was not the least bit of progress.

Yuan Zhan had a good memory. Combining the information he got from the original owner and the information in the game, he more or less went through it.

The original owner was a tragic character through and through. From the beginning to the end, he was in a passive situation. At the beginning of the marriage, Yan Jingxi still maintained his demeanor in front of him because of the benefits; thus he was still polite to the original owner.

The original owner was also a pure, simple-minded person. He thought that his marriage would be smooth and happy if he had his parents backing him. He dreamt that he and the prince would eventually reach an agreement to be united, in both body and mind, and live a happy ending together. He had just graduated from school after marriage, and he never gave any thought about owning his own business after earning his degree. He was still a young man with a soft temper. He would arrange flowers, cook, and wait for Yan Jingxi to return home for dinner every day, all to show his presence to the other party. He didn’t formulate any future goals for himself. When bored, instead he simply played games to pass the time despite having no talent in gaming.

A man living in his own fantasy, he lived like this for three years. For this reason, he gradually broke away from his circle of friends. Yan Jingxi became more and more indifferent to him and never introduced him to his friends. In the circle, their relationship gradually became more and more rigid, causing the already fragile original owner to suffer from severe depression even more. Let alone getting support from his parents, as their child, he knew better than anyone what his parents’ temper was like. So when Yan Jingxi brought up the matter of divorce, he immediately collapsed and chose to commit suicide. He felt that everyone in the world had abandoned him, where even being alive was meaningless.

These things can only be described in one sentence in Yuan Zhan’s eyes: Such a trivial matter, yet so desperate.

However, even if he thought so, he still had to free the original owner’s soul and regret, and could not divorce Yan Jingxi for the time being.

Since the mission is to liberate the original owner’s soul, he would need to satisfy the other party’s soul and fulfill his last wish. What was his last wish? Back when he was still alive, he wanted Yan Jingxi to fall in love with him, start a family with him, and to raise a child with him, then it would be perfect.

What a stupid way of thinking.

It’s better to find yourself a job if you have the time.

Yuan Zhan thought.

It was one thing to think in your heart and another to continue the work you’ve been doing.

Although the original owner never went out to work, he was given the title of department manager in a certain department of Yan Jingxi’s company and showed up once or twice a year.

Even though it was only a title, at least there was a ready-made reason for entering the company and contacting Yan Jingxi.

In the world where Yuan Zhan was from, same-sex dating was not suitable for publicity. He was considered a public figure. He only ever had one boyfriend after graduation until he left that world and cross-over. It was considered to be that sort of underground romance. In the end, the values ​​of the two were not very similar and they peacefully broke it off. After that, Yuan Zhan never had another boyfriend. In fact, there are certain aspects in his way of thinking and the original owner’s way of thinking that can be considered congenial. He also wished to marry the one he likes and build a love nest together. It was just that society would not allow him to have these fantasies. Those naive thoughts have been left behind deep in his heart a long time ago.

How can Yuan Zhan, who only ever had one boyfriend, know how to tempt a man?

In the game of 《My Ten Ex-Fiances and Me》, the male protagonist Bai Yueguang, contrary to what one would expect, had his seduction skills all in a pile. Those techniques were only applicable to Bai Yueguang. If he (YZ) were to use them, he will definitely be labeled as a “cheating slut” once again. He couldn’t escape from it so he could only find another way to approach the task.

After he, more or less recovered, at home, Yuan Zhan tidied up his appearance.

The original owner only took care of himself when Yan Jingxi came back, and at other times, his image was just like a zhainan2. But Yuan Zhan was different, he relied on live streaming games and his appearance to make a living, therefore he pays more attention to his image. At least, for his fans or viewers watching, he can give off the image of being clean and comfortable. As for how he is at home, it didn’t matter.

2Chinese equivalence (male version) to otaku in Japanese.

It was not difficult to get Yan Jingxi’s itinerary at all. He would spend the majority of his time at the company and the remaining time would be spent on business trips. Of course, it is estimated that the majority of his time now is being used to meet up with his ex, Bai Yueguang, to develop their feelings.

He could always meet Yan Jingxi when he goes to the company so he was not in a hurry in any way. He knows that Yan Jingxi also would not dare to cheat while he was married even if he had the intention to.

After opening the garage that had not been used for a long time, there were three high-end cars parked inside. Yuan Zhan chose a relatively low-key model.

Having the chance to drive the car of his dreams, Yuan Zhan was in a good mood so his aversion to the annoyances he was about to face reduced a bit.

After he got in the car, the smart car voice system, Daji, turned on. Daji’s sweet voice entered his ears: “Master, what can I do for you?”

Yuan Zhan gave out a command: “Navigate to the headquarters of Tiandi Group.”

Daji responded: “The route has been planned for you.”

Unexpectedly, the voice system to date was so advanced, letting Yuan Zhan’s good mood continue to rise.

Yuan Zhan was carrying out boring conversations with Daji along the way.

It was not difficult to enter Tiandi Group, Yuan Zhan’s license plate number proves that he still has his own exclusive parking spot. Tiandi Group’s parking spaces are very tight. After all, it is a CBD3 center. Not to mention the company’s tight budget, it was difficult to find parking spaces outside.

3Central Business District is the commercial and business center of a city, containing commercial space and offices. Also known as the city’s financial district.

As soon as he entered the underground parking lot, Yuan Zhan found that his parking space was already occupied.

How could that be?

There was a security guard on duty in the parking lot and he directly approached the security guard to ask about the situation.

Yuan Zhan: “What’s going on? Why is my parking space occupied by another person? This is a private parking spot.”

The security guard also didn’t understand how the private parking space was occupied. He used the walkie-talkie to ask about the situation with the colleague who was on duty this morning.

The reply that he received was: “President Yan said that the parking space was not in use so let the other gentleman use it temporarily so as to not let it go to waste.”

This caused Yuan Zhan to be very speechless, he was thinking on his feet as to who the other gentleman was.

Could it be that the storyline has already started?

After Bai Yueguang came back, he came to work in Yan Jingxi’s company after being rejected by Bai’s family. It seemed that he had just joined the company.

Yuan Zhan couldn’t make the other person come down and move the car, but he was currently very angry: “In that case, go find me a parking spot first.”

No matter what, Yan Jinxgi was still the leader of the company and it also would not be good if he made him lose his face.

After thinking about it, it gave Yuan Zhan an excuse to find him.

Since Yan Jingxi had delivered it to the door himself, then he will gladly use it to his advantage.

The security guard was afraid of losing his job so he quickly found a parking spot for Yuan Zhan. Yuan Zhan then threw the car key into his hand and walked aggressively toward the elevator entrance.

He may have lost this battle, but he has yet to lose the war.

Yan Jingxi’s office was on the 39th floor.

There wasn’t any memory of the 39th floor in the original owner’s memory. Furthermore, he seldom came to the company. It’s no wonder that he was unable to catch Yan Jingxi’s heart. Familiarity breeds fondness. Had he accompanied Yan Jingxi to go to work together, even if he didn’t have any feelings for him, Yan Jingxi probably would not have gone as far as to treat the original owner with disdain.

The atmosphere on the 39th floor was good. Yan Jingxi, who had just finished a meeting, was currently signing documents at his desk. His assistant had presented him with a pile of documents and he needed to deal with them within half an hour. There was still enough time for him to accompany Bai Yueguang to the cafeteria for lunch.

Bai Yueguang’s background setting was rather dog-blooded4. According to the plot content, he was an illegitimate child. It was said that his mother was acquainted with his father and he wasn’t aware of it until he was three. Only after his mother’s death did his biological father come to take him home. His father would recall the memories of his mother whenever he saw the male protagonist’s face. Bai Yueguang had an older brother, an older sister, and also a younger brother. As a child born from a third party, Bai Yueguang did not receive any love from the Bai family. He would suffer all kinds of treatments and disdainful looks from other people.

4Something unbelievably cliché, melodramatic, exaggerating.

Yan Jingxi was precisely the straw that saved his life so it was no wonder that he came back to find the other party again after his memories were restored, wanting to get back their former, unforgettable affections.

If it hadn’t been for the original owner between them now, they might have already rolled in bed together, and there would be no other annoying, trivial matters holding them back.

Yan Jingxi, who had just regained his attention to continue signing the documents, never expected that his illusion of a quiet luncheon today would be destroyed by Yuan Zhan.

Bang!

The office door was suddenly pushed open and Yuan Zhan came in with an angry questioning face.

“Yan Jingxi, you better explain what happened to my parking spot!”

At the same time, a valuable man’s backpack was smashed on top of Yan Jingxi’s desk.

Yan Jingxi, who had never been treated like this before, was startled. At this moment, he was dumbfounded.

The assistant, who poked his head in at the door, immediately closed the opened door.

Yuan Zhanqi…w-what’s going with him?
