OBS Chapter 159 You're Too Ugly
Chapter 159 You're Too Ugly
Huo Yi's gaze was like a sharp ruler, scrutinizing Xie Qing from head to toe. A hint of undisguised astonishment flashed in his eyes, and he blurted out, "How come it's a man?"
He quickly turned to look at the old troupe leader, his tone accusatory, "The person who just came down from the stage was him?!"
Seeing the other person nod, Huo Yi looked at Xie Qing again, but gradually... his gaze changed from initial astonishment to infatuation.
Even though Xie Qing is a man, it is undeniable that he is an extremely handsome man.
She has a slender and graceful figure, fair skin, and long, thick eyelashes, like the wings of a bird.
The red mole at the corner of his eye was like the finishing touch, adding a captivating charm to his eyes. Every casual glance he made was full of alluring charm.
Come to think of it, he had never been with a man before, and he wondered what it would feel like. Huo Yi licked his lips and thought to himself.
At this moment, lust took precedence over him. The old regimental commander's words, "The person was brought by Steward Qi," had long been forgotten. He had only one thought in mind: take the person away first.
"I am Huo Yi, the son of the fourth master of the Huo family."
Huo Yi looked arrogant and took a few steps toward Xie Qing. "Little Xie Qing, I've taken a liking to you. Follow me, and I'll guarantee you a lifetime of wealth and honor."
Upon hearing this, the others backstage looked at Xie Qing with a mixture of envy, disdain, and jealousy, a desire to take his place.
After all, getting involved with the Huo family means you can live a life of luxury without ever having to work hard. Who wouldn't be tempted by such a meteoric rise?
However, Xie Qing's face showed no joy whatsoever; in fact, she frowned slightly, somewhat annoyed. "Is that so? But I don't fancy you."
Huo Yi's expression froze instantly, clearly not expecting things to develop this way.
After a brief silence, he decided to give Xie Qing another chance, after all, such a beauty was rare.
"Xiao Xie Qing, can you tell me the reason?"
Xie Qing's expression was mocking as she slowly uttered a few words, "Because you're so ugly that you disgust me."
A few seconds of silence followed, and the crowd that had been watching with amusement all gasped in unison, thinking Xie Qing had gone mad—daring to insult the Huo family!
The old commander looked thoughtful, watching quietly without saying a word. One was Xie Qing, brought by Qi Min and whose identity was still unknown, and the other was the young master of the Huo family. He couldn't afford to offend either of them.
Huo Yi's reason was instantly consumed by rage, his face turning pale and then red. In all his years, this was the first time he had been humiliated like this.
"Say that again, you fucking idiot!"
He grabbed Xie Qing by the collar with his right hand, pulling him forward, veins bulging on his neck, and almost roared.
Xie Qing wore a mocking smirk on her face, enunciating each word clearly, "I said, you're too ugly, you're disgusting."
His long, slender hands looked delicate, but his grip was surprisingly strong. He grabbed the other person's wrist with his other hand and twisted it so hard that he almost broke the bone.
The pain in his wrist forced Huo Yi to release his grip, and he was both shocked and furious. "You...you dare to lay a hand on me!"
Xie Qing straightened her crumpled collar, glanced coldly at Huo Yi, and said in a voice devoid of warmth, "I would even dare to use a knife on you. How about it, do you want to try?"
Huo Yi clutched his wrist tightly, the muscles on his face twitching slightly with anger, his eyes seemingly laced with venom. "You will pay the price for what you have done today."
"What price? I'd like to hear it." Qi Min suddenly stepped out from the crowd and looked at Huo Yi.
Huo Yi was still somewhat intimidated by Qi Min. "Butler Qi, what brings you here?"
Qi Min said coldly, "That's the question I should be asking you, Young Master Yi, why are you here?"
"I was bored, so I came here to have some fun."
Huo Yi regained his composure. Remembering that Xie Qing was someone Qi Min brought, he wasn't afraid. Instead, he asked, "Did Butler Qi come here for Xie Qing?"
Qi Min: "That's right."
Huo Yi immediately showed his swollen wrist, stretched it out, and shouted, "Butler Qi, the people you brought injured me. What do you think should be done about this?"
Qi Min casually raised his eyes, glancing lightly at the other person's swollen wrist, his tone as indifferent as if he were discussing the weather.
"Young Master Yi, this is just a minor injury, so you'll have to put on some medicine yourself."
Huo Yi asked incredulously, "What about Xie Qing?"
"Sorry, I'm not qualified to deal with him."
Blinded by rage, Huo Yi's forehead veins bulged as he jumped up and yelled, "What do you mean you're not qualified? Stop trying to smooth things over; you're clearly protecting him!"
Pointing his finger menacingly at Qi Min, spitting as he spoke, "You're just a butler at the Huo residence, and you really think you're someone important? My father may be afraid of you, but I'm not. Don't try to put on airs!"
Qi Min wasn't angry at these words. Instead, he looked at Xie Qing and gestured for her to leave first.
Xie nodded and left with Yan Li.
On the way back, Yan Li finally found a chance to thank Xie Qing, "Xie Qing, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, I might have been stuck teaching in a small institution for the rest of my life."
"No need to thank me. The person who actually accepted you was Commander He. I just made a suggestion."
Yan Li saw it clearly: "Of course I should thank you. If it weren't for your suggestion, the other party might not have considered me."
"You have no idea how much this means to me."
Ever since her art exam results were stolen by someone else and her family didn't have enough money to support her to try again for another year, she almost despaired, thinking that she would never be able to perform on stage again in her life.
But unexpectedly, when she turned thirty, things took a turn for the better, and she actually stepped into a theatrical troupe that she never dared to dream of. Sure enough, life is full of surprises.
Xie Qing was unaware of these things; she simply said, "Teacher Yan, I appreciate your thanks."
Yan Li breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the azure sky, and asked the question that had been bothering her.
"Xie Qing, did you study opera before?"
Xie Qing blinked. "Yes, wasn't it obvious to me?"
He smiled and said, "Teacher Yan, you don't really think I dare to perform on stage after only twenty days of training, do you?"
Yan Li initially thought so, but the more she thought about it, the more unreasonable it seemed; twenty days was too absurd.
"I was wondering how you learned so fast, now the case is solved."
"..."
The two chatted as they walked, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
Meanwhile, after Xie Qing left, Qi Min stared at Huo Yi expressionlessly.
"Young Master Yi, I will tell your father everything that happened today."
Huo Yi scoffed, his expression disdainful. "If the old man cared about me, I wouldn't be here."
