As the Minor Gay Love Rival in Het Novels

Chapter 2.8

The male lead-daren went to go nurture his emotional connection with the female lead. Fan Yuan also started to relax and follow the plot.

As the original work never concretely said exactly which bar he went to, Fan Yuan defaulted to the bar closest to Fang Xu’s house. Otherwise, how else could he take this opportunity to get wildly drunk and run to his house and spit out the truth? Drunk-driving?? Of course, this was unacceptable! He was but an obedient, law-abiding citizen.

When he arrived at the bar, the lights dazzled his eyes. Thank goodness the music wasn’t too loud. He found a corner and played his part, ordering two bottles of vodka. He seldom drank foreign liquor. After all, he needed to keep sober at all times while he was carrying out his mission. It was hard to avoid getting into trouble when drunk and delaying the plot was not good, either.

However, he had played a drunkard before and had noisily poured more than half a bottle of 130-proof Shao Daozi down his neck at once. At the time, his throat felt slightly scorched and he completely choked, but he also didn’t feel giddy at all and was at least able to finish up his mission in a state of sobriety. He had thought it was likely that he had the kind of constitution that made it possible to drink a thousand glasses and not fall down, and had even felt immeasurably self-satisfied for a long time because of that.

So he really didn’t think very much of two bottles of 80-proof vodka.

While waiting for the server to bring the alcohol to him, he took off his suit jacket and casually threw it aside. He loosened the very top button of his shirt that he had always kept fastened. Doing as he pleased, he rolled up his sleeves. His hair, which had always been neat and tidy, was currently spilling onto his forehead in a disorderly mess. His chaotic appearance carried an air of depression and the dazed look in his eyes made people feel for him. He was just like a young man who had lost his love, lost his job, and lost his way.

Fan Yuan poured himself a glass. The clear, sparkling liquid slowly washed down his throat. There was only a rich, mellow taste that was neither spicy nor burning. At last, he relaxed, and taking large gulps, he began to drink.

“Ding......”

“What’s wrong, Xiao Wu? Are you afraid I’ll get drunk? I’ll be fine, this liquor has a low percentage of alcohol.”

Xiao Wu was silent for several minutes. The robotic voice slowly intoned, “Ding. I just received an alert. Master’s slitting of his wrists ahead of time in the previous world has had an extremely bad cascading effect on the plot and they have now added an additional penalty.”

“F*ck! They’ve already taken away half of the energy rewarded, what else do they want to do, huh?! Don’t tell me they want to take away another half of my already halved reward?!”

“Ding. They’re taking it all back.”

“&#k2026;&#k2026;” The glass Fan Yuan was raising paused for a moment in the air. His hand jerked and almost caused some liquor to spill out. He softly gasped for a few moments before calming down. Fuming with rage and grinding his teeth, he said, “Don’t they have any humanity?!”

Because he had never made any mistakes before, every time he was given an energy reward, the large part went towards upgrading Xiao Wu. The remainder was only enough to shuttle back and forth between the task world and the cultivation room. He had very little in reserve. After all, he was very confident in himself and had never dreamed that he would encounter so many setbacks in the midst of a mission. Thinking back on it now, he really was tu yang tu sen po.

Fan Yuan wanted to cry yet had no tears. He started to bargain, “Can’t I wait until after this mission is over to give it back? Where do you see such large amounts of energy reward being given back these days? We still have to use energy to support the original host to live to a sufficient age and lifespan. I can’t just keep dicking around in this world, you know?”

“Ding. According to the instructions from above, Master is required to return it immediately.”

“......I’m not reading this wrong, right? Is this amount of energy worth all this concern of theirs? Or is it that someone intentionally wants to screw me?”

“Ding. According to system conjecture, this sort of possibility is very large, but at present, it’s hard to imagine who it could be. Who would be bored enough to deliberately make things difficult for an unremarkable little male side character like Master?”

“......”

Fan Yuan drained the glass of purified liquid in his hands in a single gulp. Extremely angry, he said, “Fine, give it back, give it all back. This amount&#k2026;&#k2026;this amount of energy, I couldn’t care less, okay QAQ”

Xiao Wu: “......”

*******************

Drinking on-and-off, Fan Yuan managed to drain an entire bottle due to his extremely bad mood, but was unable to drink anymore after that. He didn’t feel the alcohol as he drank, but its after-effects were large. He was so uncomfortable he ran to the bathroom to throw up, feeling slightly dizzy. Thank goodness it was still about an hour from the time the plot officially kicked off. There was enough time to ease his tension. He grabbed his coat and left the bar.

It was still winter and the wind outside was fairly strong. As expected, cooling his head in the breeze helped him sober up a little. He leaned against his car. Twisting off the cap of a bottle of purified water, he slowly began to drink.

Actually, staying behind in this world and spending twenty or thirty years here was nothing. Before, when he played small roles, he had stayed in many worlds. As long as he didn’t disturb the plot and didn’t break character, with the help of his system, he could live a free and easy life. Furthermore, his part in this world would be over soon. He could totally look at the time after that as a vacation. Twenty years would pass in the blink of an eye.

Thinking this way, he actually felt much more carefree.

“......” Xiao Wu, who had just been thinking of comforting him, swallowed its words back down.

#What an experience it is to have a happy-go-lucky master#

Although his mood was light, he still had to show his sadness. He quietly looked up at the night sky with its few scattered stars. Their faint light contrasted with his dull grey eyes. The scene looked cold, lonely, and desolate.

Suddenly, he tilted his head. A delicate-looking boy was standing to the side and eyeing him. When he saw Fan Yuan look over, he showed him a charming smile. Fan Yuan was stunned and unconsciously wanted to return his smile. Fortunately, a cold wind blew by and the word “CHARACTERIZATION” flashed in capital letters in his muddled brain. He immediately tightened his lips.

He coldly asked, “Can I help you?”

The boy was wearing a slim-fitting wool sweater and skintight leather pants. His small, fine waist was outlined and faintly discernible. He cocked his head to one side and smiled seductively. He slowly made his way over to Fan Yuan and said temptingly, “Hey handsome. Been dumped by your girlfriend, eh? I know of a hotel nearby with a good atmosphere. How about we go over there and have a chat? Who knows, you might feel good getting it all out.”

Fan Yuan was astonished. The effect of that bottle of vodka was just too huge. His mind was all confused now and then he heard a beautiful boy asking him to go to a hotel and talk. For a moment, he was slightly muddled, but he knew he still had to follow the plot. He coldly refused. “No, I have something I have to do soon.”

“Pfft......You’re seriously too cute. You have no experience, is that it?” He fit his body snuggly against Fan Yuan’s and gently ground against him. “Doing men feels a lot better than doing women, you know~”

Anyone who didn’t get it after hearing that was truly an idiot. Fan Yuan pushed the boy away. Frowning, he exclaimed, “I’m not gay!”

And yet, that boy still refused to give up. How could you give up so easily after encountering such a top-notch good? He pasted his body on Fan Yuan’s again. “How can you be so sure if you’ve never tried it out? Try it with me, why don’t you? Feels so good. A lot of gays start out thinking they’re straight too. They’re just like you before they try it, you know.”

Fan Yuan was so angry he wanted to hit someone. He had always held it as a point of pride that he was a straight guy. Who could have guessed that a day would come where he would be hit on by another guy. Although this boy was truly beautiful, there was still a huge difference when compared to a soft, sweet-smelling girl. Could it be that now he projected the aura of a gay guy from head to foot?!

Xiao Wu saw that it had a chance to serve up some chicken soup right away. “Ding. My sensors indicate that this Passerby 1 is without a doubt a shou. Him being attracted to Master is evidence of Master’s gong-like qualities.”

Fan Yuan (flipping a table (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻): “What the hell am I going to do with the qualities of a gong?? Are you suggesting that it’s possible for me to top the male lead?!”

Xiao Wu: “............”

Fan Yuan’s face was wooden as he pushed away the boy. His eyes sharp, he said, “It doesn’t matter whether I’m gay or not. What matters is that I already have someone in my heart and can’t accept anyone but him. Go find somebody else, okay?”

Having said his piece, he accurately tossed the bottle of purified water into a nearby trash can. The clanging sound made the boy tremble faintly. Fan Yuan didn’t say anything else. Turning around, he left.

The boy stared blankly at his back for a moment before pouting and added, “He turned out to be a lovestruck fool.”

He took out his cell and dialed a number. “Hey. It’s not clear whether or not he’s straight, but he said he has someone he likes. As for who it is, I don’t know......That’s fine, halve the salary if you want, makes no difference to me.”

*******************

The bar was more than a thousand meters away from Fang Xu’s residence. Fan Yuan swayed and staggered his way to Fang Xu’s door. He leaned against the wall and slowly slid down to the ground. He rubbed his temples, but it didn’t bring him any relief. He really regretted throwing the water away in order to act cool. At the very least, it could have brought a little relief to him.

“Ding. Does Master want to buy some medicine that will help him sober up at the supermarket?”

“That’s not necessary......We’re already at this stage. Whatever it takes, I have to finish acting this part of the plot.”

After sitting for about twenty minutes, Fang Xu was finally brought home by the company’s driver. Fan Yuan’s mind quaked as he watched that tall, straight figure slowly draw near. He nervously took a few deep breaths. It was extremely probable that he would suffer a beating by the male lead-daren coming up, but he couldn’t shrink back.

Fang Xu naturally saw him in one glance. He was also slightly nervous, on top of the insuppressible sense of excitement he felt. The faint scent of alcohol lingering on Fan Yuan’s body floated into his nose—a traditional Russian-produced vodka. It seemed that he had drunk quite a bit; it’s no wonder he looked so uncomfortable.

He squatted down so he could look into Fan Yuan’s eyes and restrained the impulse to directly pull him into his arms. “Didn’t I tell you to go back first? What are you doing just sitting here by my front door? You were even drinking?”

Fan Yuan’s brain was a little confused hearing him disregard the lines in the script again. For a moment, he didn’t know how he should deal with this. He suddenly thought, who cares whether or not he’s sticking to the script. Just directly kiss him and be done with it.

His heated gaze fixed on Fang Xu’s lips as he continuously encouraged himself in his heart. As long as he kissed him, his main part in the plot would be finished!

Fang Xu’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly. He watched Fang Yuan looking at him yet not moving any closer. He had just thought to say a sentence or two to provoke Fan Yuan when two soft, warm moist lips pressed on his own. Fan Yuan’s alcohol-infused breath bewildered Fang Xu for a moment. His two fists tightened as he feared he wouldn’t be able to endure and resist pulling him into his body.

When Fan Yuan kissed Fang Xu, he was stunned. He had never exchanged kisses with anyone before and more practice was naturally out of the question, but Fang Xu’s lips were soft and sweet. He thought that this actually didn’t feel too bad......He glanced down at the male lead-daren’s tightly balled-up fists. In his heart, he thought, The male lead is this angry, how is it that he hasn’t pushed me away yet? Should I add more fuel to this fire?

Thinking this, he extended his pink tongue and gently licked Fang Xu’s lips, and then pushed his tongue inside to start his exploration......

He was aware of the slight trembling of Fang Xu’s body. Fan Yuan gave his cleverness a thumbs up and proceeded to probe more deeply into his mouth. He had just swept across Fang Xu’s soft tongue when his head spun and everything suddenly changed. He was heavily pulled to the ground by Fang Xu. He still hadn’t had time to react when Fang Xu’s tongue rubbed against his own again, only this time he was the passive party. His lips were sucked and nibbled until they were slightly sore. Fang Xu’s sweet-tasting tongue pushed inside, invading his mouth. It impatiently ran across his teeth and forcefully plundered. Fang Xu sucked on Fan Yuan’s pink tongue, his actions tender yet carrying an unmistakable, irrepressible dominance. Fan Yuan had the impression that he was going to be swallowed up, but he unconsciously sank into the pleasure ignited by his touch.

The two unselfconsciously made out like this right in front of Fang Xu’s door as if no one else were present.

Xiao Wu: “......”

Gui La: “......”

A few minutes later, Fang Xu finally withdrew from his mouth. Fan Yuan was dizzy and dazed from his excellent technique. Fan Yuan’s eyes glistened; his cheeks were flushed from the alcohol he had consumed, and his confused expression was innocent and pure yet charmingly wretched at the same time. Fang Xu felt as if all of his consciousness had almost been entirely consumed by an evil fire.

He hoarsely read out his lines in a low voice. “Why did you kiss me?”

Fan Yuan heard the correct line and even though he thought that there was something not quite right here, he still said without thinking, “Because I like you. I’ve liked you since the first time I saw you seven years ago.”

Fang Xu’s lips crooked up in a smile, his eyes full of naked lust and wicked, possessive desire. “In that case, let’s try dating then, shall we?”

Fan Yuan: (⊙v⊙)？？？？？？

#Male lead-daren, you’ve got the wrong line, right?!#
