Chapter 678 "Yongyi"

已经快到饭点儿了，郭长歌花了好大的工夫，终于让方元明白了他那项“绝技”的原理。
可真要做到喝多少酒都不醉，非得有极为深厚的内力支撑不可。方元在他这个年纪算得上是高手，可内力还是差得远，这一点郭长歌也没什么办法了。
"I have already taught you the techniques of utilizing luck and sealing acupoints," he said. "What you need to do next is to practice diligently, and strive to achieve the level of 'immunity to intoxication' like me someday."
Fang Yuan looked displeased, he has always believed that what he can eat at the moment is the real thing, and the benefits of the future have never moved him.
Guo Changge looked at him and said, "Not even a thank you?"
Fang Yuan said casually, "Thank you, thank you."
Then he got up and walked towards the door. Guo Changge asked, "Where are you going?"
While walking, Fang Yuan said, "Senior Qi promised to teach me how to cook two dishes. I'm going to the kitchen to see if she's there."
Guo Changge said, "When you come back, bring me some food, and it would be even better if there's wine."
Fang Yuan turned back, "Let's go, let's have a meal together."
Guo Changge said, "What? I passed on my secret techniques to you, and you can't even do this little thing for me?"
Fang Yuan frowned and said, "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't understand. Why are you here?"
Guo Changge sat cross-legged on the carpet, leaning back with both hands supporting, lazily saying, "I feel tired and don't want to move. Is that okay?"
Fang Yuandao: "Alright."
He was about to leave when Guo Changge said, "Don't let anyone else know I'm here."
Fang Yuan was even more puzzled and asked, "Why?"
Guo Changge said, "You're not blind, deaf, or dumb. Can't you think for yourself?"
Fang Yuan thought for a moment, remembering that last night Qu Siyang didn't want Guo Changge to return to their room. He understood that Guo Changge didn't want other people to know he was here, but actually just didn't want Qu Siyang to know. As for the deeper reasons, Fang Yuan had no way of knowing, and he didn't want to know either.
When Fang Yuan left, he was alone, but when he came back, he became two.
The only thing Guo Changge was satisfied with was that he still remembered to bring good wine. The wine glasses were set on both sides, and Fang Yuan stood aside and poured for the two sitting down.
Guo Changge looked at him askance, "'Don't let anyone else know I'm here,' which word in this sentence don't you understand?"
Fang Yuan smiled, "You just don't want your wife to know you're here, he doesn't care."
Guo Changge helplessly said, "If he knows I'm here, someone else will also know."
Fang Yuan asked, "Who?"
Guo Changge replied, "What do you think?"
Fang Yuan immediately realized, "Wen Qing."
The person who came back with him was Cheng Le. At this time, Cheng Le took a sip of wine and said, "There are no secrets between me and Qing'er."
Guo Changge said, "Xiao Qing, if she knows, do you think she will hide it from Siyang for me?"
Fang Yuan was stunned, and Cheng Le said, "It depends on why you don't want Siyang to know you're here."
Fang Yuandao: "Yeah, why?"
Guo Changge: "I can't be bothered to tell you guys."
Cheng Le: "If you don't tell Qing'er, she definitely won't be able to keep it a secret for you."
Guo Changge turned to Fang Yuan, with complaints in his eyes.
Fang Yuan said, "Why don't you just tell Wen Qing? With such a beautiful wife, why are you avoiding her?"
Guo Changge said, "I am certain that if I tell Xiaoqingjie the reason, she will definitely tell Siyang that I am here. Besides, who is Xiaoqing? I think she can even guess the reason herself. That's why I said I can't be bothered to tell you all, got it?"
方元眨眨眼，“那……那咋整？”
Guo Changge held up his wine glass but didn't drink, saying, "I really want to beat you up for what you did last night."
Feng Yuan backed away two steps, and Cheng Le said, "I knew something wasn't right at dinner, and he even brought two wine glasses. Even if he didn't invite me, I would have followed him secretly."
Guo Changge sighed helplessly and then laughed, saying, "So, what are you here for? You don't want to get me drunk, do you?"
Cheng Le had a serious expression and said, "I have been thinking about the question you asked me last night."
Guo Changge smiled again after listening, "Do you have an answer?"
Cheng Le paused for a moment, took another drink, and then said, "I originally thought that Qing'er just didn't like to use the Illusion Heart Technique."
Guo Changge said, "She really doesn't like it."
Chengle said, "But she will definitely do things she doesn't like for the person she likes. That's just the kind of person she is."
Guo Changge put down the glass of alcohol he had not drank, saying, "So you think it's not that simple?"
Cheng Le looked at him and said, "Your father harmed innocent people in order to obtain the Illusion Heart Technique. If I were Qing'er, I would never let him obtain it. And you, also went to great lengths to obtain the Illusion Heart Technique. I think Qing'er must be afraid that one day you will become no different from your father."
Guo Changge shook his head slowly and turned to Fang Yuan, saying, "Why are you standing there? Sit down." Fang Yuan then dared to sit down.
Then Guo Changge looked at Cheng Le and asked, "Do you also think I will become like that?"
Cheng Ledao: "Who can predict the future?"
Guo Changge sneered, "Isn't your father good at predicting?"
Cheng Le did not respond, just stared at him expressionlessly.
Guo Changge paused and asked again, "What about you, Xiaoxiao? Why won't Xiaoqing help you? Does she think that you'll eventually become just like us?"
Cheng Ledao: "I am definitely different from you, because I am not interested in the Illusion Heart Technique. I just want to solve the immediate problem, eliminate future troubles, and be done with it once and for all."
Guo Changge knew that he was the "future trouble" in Cheng Ledao's words, and sighed, "You are very confused now, aren't you?"
Cheng Le did not speak, but it was obvious that he agreed.
Guo Changge smiled and said, "But why did you come to find me? I said last night that I also don't understand. You're close to Xiaoxing Lou, why don't you just ask Xiaoxing Jie directly?"
Cheng Ledao said, "I don't want to bring up things that will make her unhappy again."
He paused and continued, "I'm thinking, maybe Qing'er already knew you were pretending to be drunk last night..."
Guo Changge smiled and said, "I understand what you mean. If she agrees to help you change my memory, then she will have broken her so-called 'bottom line' that she always claims to have. I was actually looking forward to this moment last night. However... I can tell you with certainty that with Xiao Qingjie's martial arts, it is impossible for her to detect that I was pretending to be drunk. She really did give up the opportunity you mentioned of 'eliminating future troubles once and for all' for some reason."
Cheng Le didn't know what to say, so he poured himself a drink and quickly downed a few glasses.
Guo Changge seized the opportunity when he just finished pouring the drink, took his glass and drank it all in one gulp, then got up and walked away.
"Where are you going?" Fang Yuan asked.
"Soon everyone will know I'm here, I can't stay here any longer," Guo Changge replied as she walked away.
"So where are you going?" Fang Yuan asked again.
Guo Changge stopped and turned to look at Fang Yuan, complaining, "Do you think I would tell you?"
Fang Yuan swallowed, shook his head, and Guo Changge "hmphed" before leaving. As he left, Cheng Le suddenly stood up, and Fang Yuan asked instinctively, "Where are you going again?"
Cheng Ledao said, "I don't understand, and Changge doesn't understand either, but there must be someone who understands Qing'er's thoughts."
