At the same time, in a dark and secluded room, a light screen stood vertically in the air, and complicated data rapidly streaked across its surface like meteors. Under the flickering lights, a tall and slender figure could be seen standing in front of the screen.

Qi Wei was calmly looking at the light brain in front of him, the precise numbers and symbols form a database in his mind, and he was able to quickly find all kinds of useful information from it. The light brain, which was from his original world, was analogous to the computer. However, its application is far more profound and extensive compared to computers. It was capable of creating new unfathomable things into the world.

The system* was also a product invented by manipulating the light brain’s programming.

[T/N: I’ll need your opinion on this, just read the note below]

He was able to come to this world by using the light brain to decode the loopholes in the system which enabled him to shuttle in. However, since he forced his way in to this void space, his soul which was in the process of crossing over, was subsequently met with resistance and attacked by the system. The attack caused a fragment of his soul to be left behind in this world.

He was originally looking for this soul shard, but the moment he saw Xia Ming, the resonance he felt in his soul made him very sure that his soul fragment was in Xia Ming's body. If he can't get this soul fragment back, then he wouldn’t be able to return to his original world.

But if he wanted to retrieve this fragment, he’d have to do it while Xia Ming is unconscious; otherwise he would most likely be devoured. In a sense, the present Xia Ming could be considered as his other self, and he is destined to never being able to lay his hands on Xia Ming. The moment he attempts to harm the other, the resisting force will become more intense, and it’s highly probable that his soul will remain incomplete.

Thinking up to here, Qi Wei stroked his lips, and his eyes gleamed, faintly flashing a strange look.

On the other side, Chen Heng who was aware that Xia Ming had schizophrenia, took the initiative and constantly invited the latter out. The two men would often meet to jog or play badminton together.

Xia Ming was very weak, so Chen Heng gently encouraged him and motivated him every time. He very patiently accompanied Xia Ming in exercising together. Over time, Xia Ming’s physique slowly improved, and his love for Chen Heng also increased.

He even began to look forward to these meetings with Chen Heng; because every time he finishes an intense exercise, the man's face would be dyed with a red blush, and his sweat-soaked vest would cling to his torso, outlining the seductive and tempting curves of his body.

The original hosts living habits were good; he worked out three to four times a week. Because of this long-term exercise, the muscles on his body are well-proportioned and beautiful. They weren’t like those of gym fanatics who meticulously exercise; his muscles were distributed in a thin layer over his body, giving his skin a distinct texture. In addition, he had a tall and slim stature so he looked pretty good, especially when he wore a white shirt.

Xia Ming's face was red; he was captivated by Chen Heng who was dripping with sweat on the basketball court. He watched as Chen Heng skilfully dribbled the ball and leaped for a slam dunk. Seeing those beads of sweat glide down the man's body; the youth’s heart slammed in his chest, and that thing between his legs began to swell.

He really wanted to lick all that sweat off. Then he’ll open the man's legs and ruthlessly pound himself into his body, f*cking him until he cries.

He could barely wait for that moment.

Chen Heng came back after he finished playing with the ball. He walked towards Xia Ming while lifting up the hem of his vest, using it to wipe the sweat off his face. His thin and sturdy waist was revealed to Xia Ming’s eyes. Because the hem of the vest was raised too high, that small point on the man’s right chest was faintly discernible, and Xia Ming subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

The desire that he had managed to press down a moment ago started to stir again, and the youth had to drink half a bottle of iced water.

The man finally reached him after he had finished drinking his water. Xia Ming, who had a red face and a bashful smile, handed him the towel that he had prepared beforehand.

Chen Heng smiled as he took the towel and properly wiped his face.

"For you." Xia Ming carefully opened the bottle cap and handed the water over.

"Thank you." Chen Heng reached out to take it before raising his head to drink more than half of the bottle.

Xia Ming’s gaze was fixed at the man's throat that was bobbing up and down as he drank water. He felt that familiar heat on his lower body. He crossed his legs and deliberately used his hands to hide his arousal.

After drinking his fill, Chen Heng poured the remaining water on top of his head. He shook his hair and the sparkling translucent drops of water splashed everywhere, glittering like dazzling pearls in the sun. Upon seeing this, Xia Ming’s eyes were in a daze as he stared straight ahead, the man's figure was the only thing reflected in the pitch-black pupils of his eyes.

I really want to hurry up and possess him.

The man’s magnetic and seductive voice passed through his ears: "Isn’t it boring, just sitting here by yourself?"

Xia Ming came back to his senses and shook his head quickly. "It's not boring at all." He even wished that he could watch him play basketball every day, only like this would he be able to openly ogle at the other man’s body.

Chen Heng smiled and a pampering look appeared in his eyes; then as if placating a cute house pet, he softly stroked the youth's hair. "I’ll teach you how to play basketball some other time, okay?"

"En." Xia Ming answered with a heavy nod.

He doesn't like the feeling of sweating, but if it meant that he can have more physical contact with the man in front of him; then whatever you want him to do, he would be willing to do it.

After their exercise, the two men found a small inexpensive restaurant and had lunch.

Xia Ming’s appetite was very small but Chen Heng gave him a lot of dishes until the food in his porcelain bowl was as high as small hill. The young man weakly opened his mouth: “This is too much.”

Chen Heng didn’t even lift his eyebrows. "You’re too thin, you should eat more."

Was he concerned about him?

Xia Ming’s eyes narrowed in happiness, he silently closed his mouth, and let the man continue to put food in his bowl.

En, he must eat all the dishes that the man gave him.

In the end, Xia Ming didn’t manage to eat everything; his stomach was too small, it simply couldn’t take in so much food. Chen Heng, who noticed his pitiful appearance, gently said: "Don't force yourself if you’re unable to eat any more."

The young man timidly glanced at him. "You won’t get angry?"

Chen Heng stared blankly, he did not understand the young man’s train of thought, but nevertheless he smiled and said: "I won’t get angry."

Xia Ming put his chopsticks down, and rubbed his round belly with a sheepish smile.

This time of the year put it between late summer and early autumn; a cool wind was blowing and it ruffled Chen Heng’s bangs. Xia Ming resisted the urge to run his fingers through that soft hair, and continued to slowly walk beside the man in silence.

In this moment, in the cool autumn breeze, the youth suddenly recalled the time he met the man for the first time.

He had just been told that he had a mental disorder and was sent to a mental hospital for treatment. He was very unhappy and refused to speak for one whole day. His parents were worried that his condition would suddenly act up and kept him in the house. The moment he found an opportunity, he stealthily climbed down from his window, avoided the servants, and slipped away in a car. He didn't know where to go, so he aimlessly drove around in circles.

That was when he came across a man who asked him for a ride.

He didn’t guard against the man and opened the door. However, he didn’t expect the other person to actually be a robber. Not only did the man rob him of his cash, he also stole his car keys and forced him out of the car. On account of the fact that the other party was wielding a knife with a fierce and menacing expression, Xia Ming was forced to comply with the man's orders and got off the car.

At first, he thought that he would be left stranded on the streets, but at this critical moment, Chen Heng dropped from the sky* like a hero covered in sparkling golden light. He immediately used the briefcase in his hands to smash the face of the man sitting in the sports car.

[T/N: this is only a figure of speech which means ‘to appear unexpectedly’]

The man yelled "Ah" and was just about to drive off when Chen Heng nimbly jumped into the passenger seat and punched the bridge of his nose.

This was the first time that Xia Ming had witnessed someone with skills this good. Unwavering and incisive, every move looked as if it was calculated with machine-like precision: it was the perfect combination of strength and beauty.

At that time, Xia Ming just stood outside the car, watching foolishly as the man one-sidedly crushed the robber. The beating only stopped when the robber was at death’s door, and the man used his sleeve to wipe the blood that had splashed on his face. He extended a bloody hand towards the robber’s pocket and pulled out a cell phone.

He knew then that the robber had stolen the man’s cell phone before coming to rob him.

Chen Heng jumped out of the car with his briefcase in hand after he retrieved his phone. He faced the stunned Xia Ming with an arrogant expression and a voice tinged with danger. "Do you know what you’re going to say to the police?"

Xia Ming immediately understood, "Rest assured, I won’t mention anything about you to the police."

Chen Heng listened and his eyes narrowed with satisfaction. He left the scene without saying another word to the youth.

The police arrived afterwards. The hospital examined the extent of the robber’s injuries and found out that he had a broken nose, a ruptured spleen, and three broken ribs. One of the broken ribs nearly punctured his lungs and he almost lost his life. The police determined that the person who thrashed the robber had the intention to kill, and they questioned Xia Ming about what happened. But Xia Ming kept his mouth shut and refused to say anything regarding Chen Heng. In the end, his family settled the matter.

It was on that day that Xia Ming fell madly in love with Chen Heng.

He didn't know what kind of magic the other man had, but he couldn't help but be attracted to Chen Heng. He learned how to draw, and sketched out the man's face according to the way he had remembered it, then he hired a private detective to investigate. The waiting process was incredibly long, and it wasn’t until half a month later that he finally knew all there is to know about Chen Heng.

In the following days, he constantly sneaked out and wandered around the man’s company.

After he had finished going through these past events in his mind, Xia Ming came back to reality. He looked at the quiet and gentle Chen Heng by his side, and a pure and innocent smile blossomed on his face.

Although he had no idea why the man was acting like a completely different person—becoming gentle and amiable—Xia Ming was still fanatically in love with him.

He wanted to lick his whole body and imprison him in his bed.

Every day and every night, possessing him completely.

*Okay, so the system wasn’t really called as just “system”. It’s actually 贱人系统 which literally translates to slut/cheap person system, but google calls it deaf system and bing calls it base system…  贱人 also translates to bitch/bastard/jerk/asshole and in archaic terms---plebeian… What do you think should the system be called? (tho tbh, it doesn’t really talk and is only mentioned in the novel)
