The Dominant CEO Novel’s Villain Childhood Friend Awakens

Following a car accident, Mu Ran woke up to discover that he was a villainous cannon fodder character in a dominant CEO angst novel, while his childhood friend who grew up alongside him and was completely obedient to him was the novel’s protagonist. Before long, Lu Chengfeng would meet his true love. Meanwhile, because of his unrequited love for the protagonist, Mu Ran would resort to kidnapping, drugging, and forcing a marriage, ultimately ending up loathed by Lu Chengfeng and dying a bitter death. Looking at Lu Chengfeng who had come to visit him, Mu Ran thought about how he genuinely had a crush on Lu Chengfeng for ten years and had even prepared to confess his feelings before the car accident. Mu Ran: I don’t want to be cannon fodder, and I don’t want to die young. Starting today, we’re just going to be bros. Not long after, Lu Chengfeng indeed came to ask him: “How do you pursue someone you like?” Whoa, he thought, is this him meeting the female lead? To break the ending of dying young, Mu Ran patted his own chest and said, “I’ll teach you.” “Step One: You have to keep making your presence known in front of the other person! Do you understand playing weak? Act like a green tea!” Following that, whenever Mu Ran went out to dinner with friends, he would run into Lu Chengfeng; when he was negotiating with clients, he would run into Lu Chengfeng; and even during meetings, Lu Chengfeng would come to audit them. Moreover, Lu Chengfeng fell ill at the drop of a hat, requiring Mu Ran to dress him, bathe him, and even help him resolve… his problems. “Step Two: Master the art of the push-and-pull. Maintain a sense of distance after intimacy! Say ‘Mhm’ a lot and put on a cold front.” Later on, when Mu Ran was in a rush to handle a partnership between their two families, he sent a WeChat message to Lu Chengfeng. Every time Mu Ran sent a long, sprawling paragraph of text, Lu Chengfeng would only reply with a single “Mhm.” Mu Ran asked Lu Chengfeng: “Are you very busy?” Lu Chengfeng: “Mhm.” Mu Ran: Great, I’ve taught him into a mute. “Step Three: Say more flattering things to praise the other person!” As a result, during a certain meeting, Mu Ran accidentally messed up some data, and immediately afterwards, he received a text message from the auditor, Lu Chengfeng: You’re doing amazing. Mu Ran: Well aren’t you just a sarcastic piece of work. “Step Four: For a date, choose a place where you can be alone together, take the initiative to create physical contact, and build up the ambiguity. Once the buildup is over and the atmosphere is just right, seize the opportunity to kiss them and follow up with a confession!” Before they even reached step four, news broke out from the Lu family about an upcoming strategic marriage. Knowing that there was no longer any use for him and that he hadn’t disrupted the protagonist’s relationship meaning he presumably wouldn’t die—Mu Ran vanished with the intention of drawing a clear line between himself and Lu Chengfeng, never to see him again. A few months later, Mu Ran was at a bar being hit on by a handsome guy. But just as he had spoken a few words to the man, he saw Lu Chengfeng storming in, nearly wrecking the bar, and dragging him out with the corners of his eyes reddening. This was the first time Mu Ran had ever seen Lu Chengfeng act so uncomposed. Dark clouds obscured the moon, and car headlights illuminated the silent wilderness. Lu Chengfeng suddenly pulled Mu Ran tightly into his arms, kissed his lips, and rasped in a hoarse voice: “Step Four: For a date, choose a place where you can be alone together, take the initiative to create physical contact, and build up the ambiguity.” Mu Ran: “Speak human.” Lu Chengfeng looked somewhat aggrieved: “You are allowed to like men, so why can’t you like me?” — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Dominant CEO Novel’s Villain Childhood Friend Awakens — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
