“Get over here!”
Inside the luxurious hall, the glaring crystal chandelier cast a band of light across the marble floor.
The boy knelt upright on the ground, his arms clenched into fists at his sides. His eyes were lowered slightly, hiding the dark look within them.
Chi Anyu lounged carelessly on the leather sofa, legs crossed, his bright eyes full of frustration.
He had already been here for a week.
In the plotline the system gave him, he was the young master of the Chi Family, an unremarkable cannon fodder character. The boy kneeling before him was the villain boss in the plotline, Xie Junyi, and also the Xie Family heir apparent who had been found and brought back after many years of disappearance.
Even more absurdly, the plotline was BL, and he was the stepping stone that brought the male leads together. Later, because he offended the villain early on, after the villain returned to the Xie Family, he was successfully taken off the stage and ended up miserable.
Thinking of this, Chi Anyu looked even more frustrated.
“System, can’t I just latch onto the villain’s thick thigh now? Does it have to be like this?”
System 07 remained expressionless. 『Host, we have to follow the plotline. You are just a cannon fodder supporting male character who torments the villain boss in the early stages, the arrogant and domineering young master of the Chi Family. You cannot break character.』
Xie Junyi’s cool, immaculate face showed no expression. Hearing Chi Anyu’s words, he moved his knees and slowly knelt before him.
Then he stared into the other’s eyes with a detached, icy gaze.
Yet in the depths of those eyes, an elusive dark light flickered, as if he were staring at some prey he had long coveted.
Chi Anyu suddenly grabbed Xie Junyi by the neck, forcing him to lift his head. His warm fingertips pressed against the rolling Adam’s apple, while Chi Anyu was still struggling fiercely inside and resisting.
“System, do I really have to kiss him?”
System 07 said quietly, 『Host, we have to follow the plot. This is mandatory. Today is the last day of the week. If you do not kiss him, you will be electrocuted. You have to choose between a kiss and sleeping with him.』
Chi Anyu felt like crying, but no tears came. He was straight. Although the other party’s appearance was outstanding, he still could not get past that mental barrier.
System 07 comforted him. 『The other party has excellent conditions. In the end, you are the one taking advantage. Don’t be ungrateful.』
Chi Anyu: “…” Do you want this advantage?
After a struggle in his heart, and thinking of the pain of being electrocuted, Chi Anyu still chose to close his eyes and kiss him.
It was only a brief kiss, with no lust at all. Xie Junyi’s hand suddenly tightened, blue-green veins bulging beneath his skin.
After the kiss, Chi Anyu pretended to stay calm, casually wiped the corner of his lips, and snorted, “Kissing is just like that. Nothing special!”
Xie Junyi lowered his head even more, his Adam’s apple moving wildly as his deep, sharp eyes stared at his own crotch.
“Do you need me to do anything else?” Xie Junyi’s voice was clear and cold, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.
Chi Anyu waved a lazy hand. “No, nothing else.”
System 07 screamed in alarm. 『Host! You are supposed to be the arrogant and domineering type! Don’t break character!』
Only then did Chi Anyu suddenly remember that the reason he had Xie Junyi kneel was because the other had broken a figurine a friend had given him. According to his arrogant and domineering persona, he was supposed to make the dependent Xie Junyi suffer a little and teach him a lesson.
So he could only say wickedly, “For dinner, I want spicy food. Make all the dishes spicy. Don’t let me see anything bland.”
Xie Junyi preferred light flavors and could not tolerate spicy food at all, while Chi Anyu was the exact opposite; he loved spicy food.
System 07: “…” Is this considered arrogant and domineering? Forget it, it barely counts.
Xie Junyi straightened up. His tall, sturdy body completely shadowed Chi Anyu on the sofa. He said nothing and went straight to the kitchen.
Soon, a mouthwatering aroma drifted out from the kitchen.
System 07 felt that its host was somewhat unreliable, so it reminded him again. 『Host, we need to sort out the plotline clearly. You cannot do things that violate your character setting.』
Chi Anyu crossed his legs and dismissed it carelessly.
“Got it, got it.”
Making him, a straight man, enter a BL plotline was practically tormenting him. He still had to find a way to survive later.
System 07: “…”
The chili peppers in the kitchen made Xie Junyi cough a few times. The corners of his narrow eyes turned crimson. He forced himself to endure the discomfort and kept stir-frying.
An hour later.
The brightly colored dishes were brought to the table, leaving only a plate of mild stir-fried vegetables in the kitchen corner. Xie Junyi lowered his eyelids, seeming to hesitate, but in the end he still brought it to the table.
Chi Anyu’s eyes lit up at the sight of the food. Ever since he learned that Xie Junyi was a great cook, he had let the other cook without restraint. After all, his persona was already fixed, so this did not count as breaking character.
System 07, seeing that its host was only focused on eating, hurriedly reminded him. 『Host, don’t just eat. We have to follow the plot. Use this chance to make things difficult for him!』
Chi Anyu had no choice but to put down his chopsticks. He immediately leaned back in the chair like some big shot, crossed his legs, and ordered, “Get over here! Feed me!”
System 07 instantly collapsed. “…” I told you to make things difficult by slapping him. Who told you to do it like this?
Xie Junyi paused, then slowly stood up and sat beside Chi Anyu, beginning to pick up food and feed him. His movements were skilled and elegant.
Chi Anyu nodded in satisfaction.
No matter what difficult demands he made at the table, Xie Junyi could carry them out without a word. In the end, even that plate of mild stir-fried vegetables ended up in his stomach.
With a cool expression, Xie Junyi wiped the corner of Chi Anyu’s mouth, occasionally glancing sideways at his own crotch.
Tomorrow, he would have to go to the hospital for a checkup.
