Within the dazzling light of the club, the loud and roaring music was agitating to the ears. Chen Heng wrinkled his eyebrows; he wasn’t used to these kind of places. He raised his voice while speaking to Ou Yichen who was completely drunk beside him. "Stop drinking, let's go back."

Ou Yichen raised his cup, and let out a laugh and said: "Su Yi, drink with me."

"You forgot; I can't drink alcohol."

The strong smell of liquor assaulted his senses; Chen Heng slightly turned his face away, his temples were throbbing with pain.

His patience is already nearing its limit.

Ou Yichen was especially annoying whenever he was drunk; he incessantly kept on trying to bring the wine cup to Chen Heng’s mouth. Chen Heng tightly gripped his hand, under the dim lighting of the bar; his eyes appeared as if they contained interweaving bright lights within. "Yichen, you are drunk." His rough voice was like a glass of intoxicating red wine, which made people feel intoxicated.

His dark eyes contained a kind of intensity, as if they were capable of piercing through people's hearts in an instant.

Ou Yichen stared blankly at this somewhat unfamiliar man in front of him, thinking that he really was drunk; how else would it be possible for Su Yi to show such a powerful, elegant expression.

Shaking his head with a smile, Ou Yichen held his forehead. "I seem to have drunk too much."

He heard a gentle and soft voice near his ear: "Then let's go."

"It's extremely late." Ou Yichen involuntarily said: "We should just sleep at the hotel upstairs for tonight."

Above the bar is a hotel… pretty convenient.

The man smiled, and Ou Yichen felt like he was under a spell. “Okay.”

Afterwards, they checked-in to two rooms, Chen Heng helped Ou Yichen into his room first. The latter had really drunk too much. As soon as they entered, Ou Yichen went to the sink and threw up.

Chen Heng patted his back and waited until he stopped throwing up before handing him a glass of water. Ou Yichen drank a few mouthfuls, before the overturning seas and rivers inside his stomach finally settled down. Leaning against the wall and gasping for breath, Ou Yichen’s expression became downcast. Then he took the initiative to tell Chen Heng: "I went to see Song Wenze today."

"En."

"When all is said and done, we had seven years of feelings between us; and I still want to get along well with him."

Chen Heng echoed his sentiments: "Don't torment yourselves, and get along well, every couple goes through a few quarrels."

Ou Yichen buried his face in his hands. "I know. I don’t blame Song Wenze for being mad. I am aware that he is like this because he wanted to find a sense of security in our relationship. But he’s always been like this; our relationship’s good one moment then bad the next. I am really tired." He put his hands down and his eyes flashed a trace of helplessness.

" Ā Ze has a childish temper, but he will come around in a few days."

"Maybe." Ou Yichen nodded and then he suddenly asked with a serious expression: "Su Yi, I’ve always wanted to ask you this for the past few years: have you ever hated me?"

“Why do you ask?” Chen Heng answered the question with a question.

"Before I was too immature, but now that I think about it, you and I suit each other the most." Ou Yichen held his hand, "But I already have Song Wenze now."

"I know." Chen Heng quietly pulled his hand away. "Don't think too much. You’re drunk, take a bath properly then lie down and sleep. It’s a brand new day tomorrow."

"En."

He helped Ou Yichen in the bathroom, checking the water temperature before carefully supporting him into entering the bathtub. After doing all this, Chen Heng went outside and leaned against the wall while smoking a cigarette.

He blew his cigarette, then narrowed his eyes; his face appearing indifferent and distant in the white smoke.

A moment ago, Ou Yichen’s words let him know that Ou Yichen was not without affection for the original host. It’s just that these feelings came too late, and Ou Yichen and Song Wenze have been together for the past seven years. If he makes use of these feelings, breaking them up would not be impossible.

But doing it that way would be a waste of his time, patience and energy. It was a method that was simply not worth the investments.

The easiest way, of course, is to kill Song Wenze. If Song Wenze dies, the data of this first world will be destroyed. Then he will be one step closer to his purpose of getting rid of the blasted system.

***

Ten minutes later, Ou Yichen walked out with a towel wrapped around his waist.

Surrounded by the mist from his bath, his handsome face was covered with a faint layer of red, transparent drops of water slid down his bare chest until they disappeared beneath the white towel, creating an ambiguous atmosphere.

He couldn’t help but admit that Ou Yichen’s body was very good. Because of long-term exercise, his muscles are very beautifully distributed. Broad shoulders, narrow waist: the standard inverted triangle body. The hazy light poured down on him, giving his white body a soft glow, like the most expensive silk: smooth and delicate.

Chen Heng extinguished the cigarette in his hand. "Wasn’t there a bathrobe inside?"

"I like to sleep naked." He deliberately lowered his voice, making it sultry and magnetic.

Chen Heng faintly sighed and reached out to support Ou Yichen’s body. "Are you still feeling dizzy?"

"A little bit." Ou Yichen put most of his weight on Chen Heng's shoulders, allowing him to take a seat on the side of the bed.

"The hour is late, go to bed."

Chen Heng helped Ou Yichen lay down under the quilt. He was about to leave when his hand was suddenly pulled back. He looked back and saw Ou Yichen gazing at him with an oddly fascinated look. He couldn’t help but ask: "What is it?"

Ou Yichen suddenly felt a little thirsty, subconsciously licking his lips with the tip of his tongue. He wanted the man to help him pour a glass of water, but the words that came out were -

"Stay with me tonight."

When Ou Yichen said this, he was also shocked. Perhaps it was because the night was too beautiful or because he had drank too much wine, but looking at the gentle man before his eyes, he suddenly felt an uncontrollable desire well up within him. He wanted this man; he wanted to tear his clothes and taste his body, to watch him tremble and cry beneath him.

Chen Heng certainly noticed the changes in Ou Yichen’s body. He froze on the spot, his face showed the struggle and hesitation of the original host. "Yichen, don't do this. We can't do this."

The more he refused, the more Ou Yichen wanted it. Regardless of the other person’s resistance, he forcibly pulled the man’s hand to his body. Forcibly putting Chen Heng's hand on his already swollen member, then he quickly gasped: "Can you feel it? It’s very eager for you. Su Yi, give yourself to me. Forget about Song Wenze, this night belongs to the two of us. I will definitely give you an unforgettable first time." He knows that Su Yi has never been with a man.

Through the white towel, the object under his hand was hot and hard, and he could feel it growing bigger.

Chen Heng tried to pull his hand away; his heart was filled with a strong intent to kill.

I really want to kill him, this damned man!

But he can’t. Under the system’s control, he can only play the role of a lowly shou. If he makes a direct attempt in harming the gong, he would be severely punished. The punishment could range from going back in time and starting all over again to having him play more roles of even more tragic shous to simply being tortured to death.

This is the lesson in blood that he managed to obtain after numerous resets.

Fortunately, the setting of this first world was about the love of an infatuated shou who died without going to bed with Ou Yichen. Therefore, even if Chen Heng refused Ou Yichen's proposition, it wouldn’t go against the norm set for the original shou.

"No, Yichen. Ā Ze is my younger brother, I can't do this him." Resisting his urge to kill, Chen Heng pretended to look as if he was suffering.

"As long as we don't tell him, he wouldn’t know." Ou Yichen felt that his body was about to explode, he had difficulty enduring as he urged: "Su Yi, haven’t you always loved me? Give yourself to me; I will be good to you. I’ll make love to you carefully."

Chen Heng sneered in the bottom of his heart. So this is the man who the original host has been secretly in love with for a long time.

Indecisive, selfish, fickle; was such a man worthy of nostalgia?

"Ou Yichen, I didn’t know that you were this kind of man. If you dare to force me tonight, then don’t come to me again in the future, we are no longer friends." Chen Heng said in a serious tone.

If Ou Yichen is determined to force him, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

As soon as these words were said, Ou Yichen suddenly seemed to sober up. He hurriedly released Chen Heng’s hand, his eyes revealing a look of guilt and regret.

"Sorry, I drank too much and just started spouting nonsense. Don't be angry, okay?"

Chen Heng continued sternly: "Don't joke about this again in the future. You are Ā Ze's boyfriend, keep your hands clean and stop messing around."

Ou Yichen opened his mouth to argue, "I wasn’t messing around, really, you have to believe me."

"You should say these words to Ā Ze." Chen Heng took a step back. "I’m going to sleep, good night."

After saying that, he ignored Ou Yichen’s gaze and left.

Going back to his room, the first thing Chen Heng did was wash his hands with soap.

*huā lā lā*(T/N: that’s the sound of flowing water) His white and slender pair of hands has turned slightly red.

He has already washed them for the umpteenth time.

Even though he didn’t make physical contact with that thing, Chen Heng still feels disgusted. He really wished he could cut that thing off, make it into a sausage then feed it to Ou Yichen. Just thinking about that scene, he could feel a familiar excitement flow through his body. Chen Heng thought that perhaps after he has returned to his original world, he could develop another system that could take him back to this first world so he could make that tiny wish of his come true.

After taking a shower, Chen Heng wiped his hair and took out his mobile phone. He originally planned to send a text message to the second-hand car agent about making another appointment, but when he opened his phone, he found out that he had a lot of missed calls.

The company stipulates that mobile phones should be muted while at work. He came to the bar with Ou Yichen right after work, and he forgot to set his phone’s ringtone back on.

The calls came from Song Wenze, from the top of the screen to the bottom; he received a total of ninety-nine missed calls.

Could it be that something happened?

Chen Heng called him back, and it was picked up after a few rings. Afterwards the anxious voice of the youth came through, "Brother, where are you? It’s already so late, why haven’t you come home yet?"

Not knowing why Song Wenze was acting like this, Chen Heng replied indifferently: "Yichen got drunk, I have to stay with him at the hotel tonight. I’ll go back tomorrow morning."

Hearing these words, Song Wenze’s voice at the other end of the phone sounded tight. "Is he by your side right now?"

Chen Heng looked at the bed that was absolutely empty: "Ah, he drank too much so he’s asleep right now. Do you want me to wake him up so you can to talk to him?" A while ago, Ou Yichen actually dared to do something to him. If he did not provoke the relationship between Ou Yichen and Song Wenze then he would feel too sorry for himself.

"……no need."

"I’m a little tired, so I’ll be going to sleep first."

The young man on the phone turned silent for a moment. When he finally spoke, there was a strange smile mixed in with his voice. "Brother, if you want Ou Yichen, I can let you have him."

Let him?

Chen Heng smiled faintly. "What a stupid thing to say, he will always be yours." He paused, then he spoke with a soft voice that almost made Song Wenze think that he had an auditory hallucination. "Besides, how could I possibly want something that you’ve already used?"
