Although he did not quite understand Qi You’s words, Chi Anyu still took them to heart.
That evening, he hardly slept at all, his mind full of his mother’s upcoming engagement.
It was midnight.
The door to the second-floor master bedroom was quietly opened. Chi Anyu was already half-asleep when he suddenly felt his lips being covered by someone, making it hard to breathe.
Because he had not slept deeply tonight, his long eyelashes trembled faintly.
Finally, unable to breathe properly, Chi Anyu gradually lost all drowsiness.
Chi Anyu slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was that familiar face right in front of him. His pupils suddenly widened, and his mouth opened unconsciously.
Someone was stealing kisses from him, and that person was Xie Junyi!!!
Xie Junyi had his eyelids closed and was kissing him with complete focus, completely unaware that Chi Anyu had already woken up. His lips rubbed and pressed against Chi Anyu’s, madly nibbling and plundering.
Realizing this, Chi Anyu frantically cried out to the System in his mind, “System! System! Am I dreaming right now? Hurry up and tell me I’m dreaming!”
System 07 saw this scene, and its mechanical brain almost short-circuited. So disoriented it could not even speak.
The next second, Chi Anyu felt as if he had been struck by lightning. On the verge of tears, he said to the System, “It’s over, it’s over, System. He even stuck his tongue in. My tongue is going numb.”
System 07 was already completely shocked beyond recovery.
What? That scene was not even in the plot, was it?
The villain boss falling for a cannon-fodder supporting character? Has the plotline broken? That is just absurd!
He had thought of ten thousand possibilities, but never imagined this outcome!
Xie Junyi kissed him with complete focus, utterly oblivious to Chi Anyu’s slightly trembling eyelashes and the arms gripping the bedsheets. His body suddenly stiffened.
“Baby… your tongue is so soft.” Xie Junyi’s voice had a hoarseness touched with sexual desire.
Chi Anyu, with his eyelids shut, did not dare open them at all. He frantically prayed that the man would leave quickly. From now on, he would definitely lock the door when he slept.
System 07 muttered to itself, “No wonder he is so obedient to you, so indulgent toward you. Turns out he is interested in you, and he is raising you like his wife!”
At that moment, Chi Anyu felt as if the sky had fallen. No one had told him that Xie Junyi liked men! Back then, he had even taken the initiative to kiss him for fun, not to mention the showers. Now that he thought back on it, he only felt utterly crushed.
“System, you unreliable thing! Why didn’t you tell me Xie Junyi likes men?”
System 07 was also completely confused. “I don’t know either! This data never said the villain boss likes men. No wonder he has been a little too obedient. I was wondering what was wrong, and it turns out the problem is with you!”
Xie Junyi panted heavily. Only after seeing Chi Anyu’s lips turn red and moist did he let him go. He pressed his nose close to Chi Anyu’s face, rubbing against him intimately and ambiguously.
“Baby, I love you so much…”
This time, Chi Anyu really felt no less than if he had been struck by lightning. His palms were covered in sweat, and his heart kept pounding.
Fortunately, Xie Junyi kissed him a few more times, pecked Chi Anyu’s eyelids, found nothing wrong, and finally left the room.
Hearing no more movement, Chi Anyu finally opened his eyes and frantically scratched his head.
“System! What am I supposed to do now? What kind of mess is this? No wonder I felt like I had sleep paralysis before! This guy must often do this while I’m asleep! There is no such plot in the plotline!”
System 07 also had a complicated expression. “Good news and bad news… which one do you want to hear first?”
Chi Anyu was completely unable to stay calm, his expression sour to the extreme. “What good news could there possibly be now?”
System 07 blinked. “The good news is that the villain boss is now secretly treating you like his wife, so when the time comes, you definitely will not die at his hands.”
Chi Anyu felt even more like crying. “…” But he is a straight guy!
“And the bad news?”
System 07 said in a low voice, “The bad news is that the plotline has definitely gone a little wrong. Whether things get better or worse from here, I do not know either. After all, you still have a lot of plot to go through with the male lead, and now the villain’s route has barged in. I do not know what will happen next.”
Chi Anyu lay back on the bed, his expression somewhat numb.
System 07 continued to twist the knife, a little gleefully. “Actually, things are still leaning toward the good side. If it really does not work, just give in to him. He is already indulging you this much now. If you really end up together later, the villain will hold you in the palm of his hand. Who could possibly hurt you then? Once the villain returns to the Xie Family, you can just go wild in the plot, right?”
“At the very least, according to this plot development, you definitely will not die later. Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder he enjoyed it when you were rough with him… this is love in deep trouble.”
Chi Anyu: “…” Please keep your mouth shut, thank you!
Chi Anyu could not fall asleep for the rest of the night. His mind kept circling back to this matter. The details of his previous interactions with Xie Junyi kept surfacing clearly in his head, and now everything made sense.
He had actually believed the System’s words so naively, thinking that his own arrogant and overbearing attitude had scared the other man.
Now he wanted nothing more than to smash himself to death with a piece of tofu.
The sky gradually brightened, turning a pale fish-belly white…
Chi Anyu, with dark circles under his eyes, still got out of bed. He opened the balcony’s glass door and sat down on the lounge chair, staring into the distance and thinking about life.
He still had not fully digested this matter even after the whole evening.
System 07 also came online. Seeing Chi Anyu sitting on the balcony in the wind, it clicked its tongue. “It is only being kissed by a man. Just think of it as being gnawed by a dog. Look at the state you are in.”
For the first time, Chi Anyu watched the sunrise, sitting in the chair like a stone statue, his body stiff and his expression blank.
“Hey, host, let’s think positively. At least this means you now hold the initiative.”
Chi Anyu felt even more like crying. “Then how am I supposed to face Xie Junyi from now on! That day in the bathroom, I even took the initiative to pull down my underwear so he could examine me. No wonder Qi You said the thing on my neck was a hickey, and I even argued back confidently like an idiot!”
System 07 wanted to laugh, though it was a little unkind. “Just face him the same way you did before. As long as this paper is not made public, it is fine, right? He already said he loves you; he definitely will not bear to hurt you later. No matter how much you act up, it will be fine.”
Chi Anyu knew the System was telling the truth, but he really could not get past that obstacle in his heart.
Qi You must have noticed something when he came to the Chi Family that day. Only he had been foolish enough to know nothing at all.
