1. My Scheming Boyfriend
【Ding, transfer to new world complete. Memory transfer in progress….】
This was a modern world. Xie He’s role here was named Bai Mu. He was the President of an entertainment company. When he was twenty-six years old, his parents suddenly died and he inherited the company. In less than ten years, he turned the ordinary, mediocre company into a listed company, and from then on, business was booming.
In Xie He’s opinion, Bai Mu was a standard cultured and refined company president type. Although what he did was remarkable, there was nothing particularly special to say about it. Xie He, who was used to being a company president, thought that this kind of role was way too easy for him.
【Xie He：Baby, who’s my target this time? Smile.JPG】
【444：Your boyfriend, Ye Jinzhou.】
Xie He immediately went looking for all the memories related to Ye Jinzhou. In the beginning, he didn’t pay much attention to this person at all. In Xie He’s eyes, a boyfriend—someone that could be frequently replaced—had a really low presence. Moreover, since they were already lovers, it wouldn’t be very hard to capture him. In Bai Mu’s memories, they had a very normal love life. Xie He had even neglected this boyfriend the first time he went through the memories. Right now though, it seems like there was something off about him.
Bai Mu was gay. Eight months ago, he met Ye Jinzhou at a bar. They had both been interested in each other. Bai Mu was an adult with needs. The two of them directly got a room and got steamy. Originally, Bai Mu had thought that this would just be a one night stand. However, who would have expected that he would encounter the other again later. Ye Jinzhou was young, handsome, and as passionate as fire. As time went by, they slept together a few more times and Bai Mu was tempted.
Not long after, Bai Mu and Ye Jinzhou moved in together and confirmed their relationship. Ye Jinzhou acted like he really loved Bai Mu. In his memories, the two of them were all lovey-dovey, so much that Xie He felt like he had a toothache from how sweet they were. Bai Mu was also a few years older than Ye Jinzhou so he was more tolerant and patient.
Xie He felt that Bai Mu truly wanted to settle down with Ye Jinzhou. He even planned on proposing to the other.
After Xie He scanned through his memories, he opened his eyes and found that he was lying in bed.
The huge black bed was messy, and clothes scattered everywhere. He sat up and instantly felt that his waist was sore and his legs were soft. He recalled that Bai Mu and Ye Jinzhou had gone crazy last night. That’s right…Bai Mu was the bottom with Ye Jinzhou. Bai Mu was versatile but Ye Jinzhou was obviously a gong. He was also the kind to have a big thing, good skills, strength, and stamina. Moreover, young people were all youthful, vigorous, and were filled with desire. Ye Jinzhou would frequently render Bai Mu unable to get out of bed.
Xie He put on some pajamas and walked to the washroom. He looked into the mirror. The man in the mirror has elegant features. He was a thirty something year old man, right at the age where he had that mature male charm. When he smiled, his eyes were warm. It made people feel like they were being bathed in a spring breeze.
His body had also been maintained well. There was no excess fat around his waist. Xie He was very satisfied.
Just as he was about to leave after washing his face, he saw Ye Jinzhou walk in from outside.
Ye Jinzhou wore a loose pair of linen sleep pants. When he saw that Xie He had gotten up, he flashed him a radiant smile. His features and the contours of his face were prominent; his lips thin. When he smiled, the corners of his eyes would rise, making his eyes look rather pointed. He was tall—probably more than 180cm. He had two more abs than Xie He. His body was sexy and full of vitality.
He walked over and gave Xie He a passionate good morning kiss. His voice was low and contained a trace of a smile, “Darling, you’re not going to sleep for awhile longer?”
【Xie He：Baby, what’s our ZhouZhou’s Favourability Value?】
【444：0……】
【Xie He：I’m very happy, ah.】
【444：Σ( °△°|||)︴Why?】He was astonished, OK! Such an intimate lover actually had a Favourability Value of 0. That’s too scary! It made him think of the fear of being controlled by Host dada…. _(:зゝ∠)_
【Xie He：Look, ZhouZhou, this little friend, his acting ability is so good. It will be really interesting for the two of us to act together. Smile.JPG】
【444：……】
【Xie He：Baby, I have a mission for you. Help me look up everyone in his family tree. :)】
【444：(⊙v⊙) Mn!】
Xie He turned his head back and gazed into Ye Jinzhou’s eyes that were full of sincere love. He flashed a helpless and doting smile, “I have a meeting at nine.”
“OK…” Ye Jinzhou let go reluctantly. He shrugged, a lazy smile on his handsome face. “I’ll go start the car.”
Xie He nodded. The two people, who both had a Favourability Value of 0 for the other person, gazed at each other lovingly for a long time. Then, one person went to start the car while the other went to get dressed.
Xie He had originally been unenthusiastic about the capture target of this world. However, his interest was now slightly piqued. Bai Mu thought that meeting Ye Jinzhou had been a coincidence and that they were both sincere in their feelings. But now it seems…that everything had been a scheme from the start.
While Bai Mu had completely fallen, Ye Jinzhou’s heart had never been moved. This perfect, loving boyfriend was nothing but an act.
Moreover, his acting skills were really quite good. Bai Mu didn’t notice anything off at all.
Xie He changed into a light grey suit. In order to cover up the hickeys on his neck, he buttoned up his collar shirt tightly, to the topmost button. He then put on a tie. He became an elegant and poised President. He went downstairs. Ye Jinzhou was already waiting for him down there. He swept an invasive gaze over Xie He’s body that was wrapped up in a form-fitting suit. The corner of his lips rose, “Darling, it just makes me want to undress you all the more if you dress like that.”
A sliver of unease flickered through Xie He’s eyes. He said, “It’s fine at home but don’t say such things at work.”
Ye Jinzhou went over and wrapped his arms around Xie He, palm sweeping over the other’s waist. He lowered his head, warm breath tickling Xie He’s ear. His voice was suggestive, tone suggesting the other was smiling but not really smiling, “I understand, President Bai.”
Xie He really felt helpless. He glared at the other.
Ye Jinzhou laughed and went to start the car.
Xie He sat in the passenger seat and rested his eyes. Sometimes, it really was true that everything had its weakness. Bai Mu was such a cultured and refined person but he was still eaten up by Ye Jinzhou, this rascal.
Ye Jinzhou said that he didn’t have a job and wanted to work at Bai Mu’s company. Bai Mu thus gave him a job. Ye Jinzhou wanted to be his secretary so that they could be together all day and night. Bai Mu agreed. Originally, Xie He didn’t think much of it. He only thought that Bai Mu was a bit unprincipled with how much he loved Ye Jinzhou—he couldn’t separate business from his personal life. Only, looking at it now, it was obvious that Ye Jinzhou had another motive for coming to work at Bai Mu’s company.
Truly such a pity. The person he loved didn’t just not love him, but his appetite was also not small, ah.
Bai Mu had several properties. The one he lived in usually was that luxury apartment. It was also really close to the company. Therefore, they arrived quite quickly.
As soon as they arrived at the company, Ye Jinzhou immediately changed his demeanour. He followed after Xie He, adopting a qualified, appropriate secretary bearing. Xie He naturally would not act like he did at home while at the company. As the President of such a big corporation, although he was affable, he still had to maintain his dignity. Xie He gave the passing employees a gentle but estranging smile.
He arrived at the conference room. The vice-presidents and other related division managers were already present.
Today’s meeting was in regards to a new movie that was about to be released.
Bai Mu’s expansion of the company in a few short years could not have been done without his discerning eyesight. Over these last few years, the film industry had been developing quickly. The big screen was becoming more and more ripened. The viewers were very accepting of it. The films he had successively invested in all returned huge profits. Very quickly, he gained a footing in the entertainment industry. Last year, Bai Mu had taken a liking to a huge IP. It was a futuristic sci-fi film. He invested nearly 2 billion into it. He had hired the most famous director, actors and the most incredible sound effects company for it. He had high hopes for it.
Right now, the film had already finished editing. The company was meeting to discuss advertisements and the release date.
Xie He sat in the middle of the conference table. Ye Jinzhou sat behind him, notebook in hand.
Xie He smiled. “If you have any ideas about the advertisement plan for this film, please share.”
“I’ll be the first to suggest something.” The man who sat to Xie He’s right side said with a smile. He had a pair of golden-rimmed glasses. This was one of the company’s vice-presidents, as well as Xie He’s best friend, Lin Ran. He pushed his glasses up and said, “It will soon be Valentine’s day and there’s less than than three months until the release date. I think that we should first reveal the first trailer to hype it up a bit.”
Xie He nodded, “I think that’s fine.”
The advertising manager then said, “We have already received several versions for the trailer. Right now, we’ll play it for everyone to see. If there’s anything that needs fixing, we can request that they make the desired edits.”
As he said this, he used a remote control to play the trailers from the projector.
Xie He was interested in these. This movie was indeed done well. The trailers were also made very well.
After watching the trailers, everyone began to discuss which one they should release. In the end, they thought that the third one was best. Xie He listened with a smile the whole time and would occasionally express his own opinion. The conference room atmosphere was very harmonious.
Ye Jinzhou quietly sat behind Xie He. He lowered his head to cover up the cold glint in his eyes. The pen in his hand left characters written in powerful strokes on the notebook. His lips had a rather icy curve.
He listened to Xie He and the company executives discuss. Very soon, the preliminary version of the advertising plan was decided. What was to be decided next was the release date.
The meeting lasted for a very long time. By the time it ended, it was already nearly noon.
When the meeting was adjourned, Ye Jinzhou stopped writing. He looked up, expression giving nothing away. He followed after Xie He and was about to leave when he saw Xie He stop. Lin Ran had stopped him.
Lin Ran smiled at Xie He. There was a softness reflected in the eyes behind the lenses. He said, “There’s still something that I want to talk to you about. Let’s talk in your office, ba.”
【Xie He：Baby, help me check this handsome guy’s Favourability Value. Smile.JPG】
【444：80!】
【Xie He：Very good. 🙂 】
In Bai Mu’s memories, Lin Ran was just a really good friend. Lin Ran and Bai Mu had graduated from the same university. When Bai Mu’s parents died and he had to take over the business, Bai Mu faced many difficulties. At that time, Lin Ran had not hesitated to join Bai Mu’s company and help him. It had remained this way for nearly ten years. Lin Ran was Bai Mu’s most capable helper and also his best friend.
However, Bai Mu obviously wasn’t aware that his best friend had actually been secretly in love with him for the last ten years. In his eyes, Lin Ran was just his friend. A rabbit doesn’t eat grass by its own burrow. So he would never have any other kind of feelings for his best friend that would lead to the end of their friendship.
Xie He sighed inwardly. That’s why love should be said out loud. Otherwise, he could only be the fallback guy for the next thousands of years.
Lin Ran followed Xie He to the other’s office. As Xie He’s secretary, Ye Jinzhou had to go make coffee for Lin Ran. However, Xie He stopped him. He said, “I’ll do it.”
He personally used the coffee machine to make Lin Ran a cup of coffee and added a packet of sugar before serving it to Lin Ran.
Lin Ran accepted it and smiled, “You’re familiar with my taste.”
Xie He smiled. Bai Mu and Lin Ran had known each other for more than ten years. Of course they would be familiar with one another. However, despite knowing the other so well, he didn’t know of the other’s feelings for him.
Ye Jinzhou stood to the side with no plans on leaving. He folded his arms and leaned against the wall, his long legs stretched out. He gazed at the two people.
Lin Ran noticed Ye Jinzhou. His brows furrowed imperceptibly. Although Bai Mu had always hidden his relationship with Ye Jinzhou really well, Lin Ran still figured it out. Moreover, he had always noticed the indulgence Bai Mu had for Ye Jinzhou. Right now, looking at Ye Jinzhou, Lin Ran had a complicated emotion in his heart.
“I have something to talk to you about alone,” Lin Ran took a sip of coffee and spoke with a smile.
Xie He immediately could discern his meaning. He turned and told Ye Jinzhou, “Go out first, ba.”
“OK,” Ye Jinzhou left without another word.
Lin Ran got straight to the point. “You’re dating Ye Jinzhou, aren’t you?”
Instantly, a shocked and embarrassed expression appeared on Xie He’s face. With his character and personality, it was indeed really embarrassing to have let his boyfriend be his own secretary. Therefore, he had kept it secret all this time. He didn’t think that Lin Ran would notice. He coughed, “Do you all know?”
Lin Ran shook his head, “Only I do.”
Xie He sighed in relief. He smiled. “Yes.”
Lin Ran was silent for a while, expression complicated while he said, “Are you two serious?”
Xie He nodded without hesitation.
The hand Lin Ran had around his mug clenched slightly. He had admired Bai Mu since university. He didn’t know when this admiration had become love…. However, because they were too familiar with each other, it was difficult to say his feelings out. This was because Bai Mu had never expressed any other kind of interest in him. If Bai Mu didn’t like him but he confessed rashly, then they might not even be able to stay friends. Moreover, he knew that since Bai Mu broke up with Lu Jianing, he had not had any other long term relationships with anyone else. He thought that Bai Mu still liked Lu Jianing. Furthermore, because he was afraid and worried of being rejected, he had always restrained his own feelings.
He didn’t expect that Bai Mu would fall in love with someone who appeared out of nowhere…. If he had confessed earlier, would he have had a chance?
Lin Ran had always been a calm and rational person. Moreover, he knew that getting involved now would be kind of despicable. However, he couldn’t stop himself. He said, “I don’t think the two of you are a very good match.”
Xie He raised a brow, surprised. However, he wasn’t angry. After all, his relationship with Lin Ran was special. He sincerely asked, “Why do you think that?”
“He’s not mature enough. Have you thought about your future with him?” Lin Ran said calmly, “Moreover, he’s still young. Why doesn’t he work on his career? Why did he come here to be your secretary? It can’t be that he plans on relying on you for the rest of his life? If you’re just playing around, I don’t mind that, but if you want to be with him, I don’t think he’s a good match for you.”
A sliver of displeasure appeared in Xie He’s eyes. If it was anyone else saying this, he would certainly be unhappy. However, the person speaking was Lin Ran. He wouldn’t get angry. He only said, “He’s quite good. If there’s a chance, I’ll let the two of you get acquainted. Let’s eat together. I think that you’ll like him. You only think this because you don’t know him.”
Lin Ran frowned. He understood Bai Mu. He knew that while it wasn’t obvious on the outside, he was actually really stubborn and opinionated. He would not be easily swayed when he believed something. Since Bai Mu had said this, it would not end well to keep fighting. Therefore, what he just said had been a temporary measure.
Thus, Lin Ran didn’t mention Ye Jinzhou again. He just said, “OK, I’ll meet him when there’s a chance. Right, the movie’s final version has already been sent over. I’ll have someone give you a copy in the afternoon. You can watch it first.”
Xie He smiled, “That’s great.”
Lin Ran chatted with Xie He for a while. Then, he saw that it was getting late and said, “I’ll head out first.”
Xie He got up and sent him to the door. As soon as he opened it, he saw that Ye Jinzhou was still waiting outside. The other hadn’t found a place to sit. He just stood there outside. Ye Jinzhou saw Xie He and Lin Ran come out and gave Lin Ran a cold look.
Xie He felt his head hurt upon seeing this. His boyfriend and his best friend clearly didn’t like each other.
As soon as Lin Ran left, Ye Jinzhou walked in. He locked the door and said to Xie He, “What did you two talk about?”
Xie He recalled Lin Ran’s comments on Ye Jinzhou and avoided Ye Jinzhou’s gaze. “Nothing.”
Ye Jinzhou suddenly advanced forward and pushed Xie He onto the sofa, legs trapping Xie He on either side. He pressed down on Xie He’s shoulders and whispered into the other’s ears, “I’m jealous.”
Xie He laughed in spite of himself, “Your jealousy is a bit baffling, ah.”
Ye Jinzhou said, “Did Vice President Lin say bad things about me?”
Xie He’s expression became rigid. He looked surprised.
Ye Jinzhou looked into Xie He’s eyes and said, “He likes you, so he naturally doesn’t like me. He definitely complained about me to you. That despicable, vile person.”
Xie He had been a bit nervous. He thought that Ye Jinzhou had heard what they had said. When he heard Ye Jinzhou’s analysis, he felt helpless and said, “He’s just my friend. He doesn’t like me. He’s also not like that. You’re thinking too much.”
Ye Jinzhou scoffed and bit Xie He’s lips in a punishing manner. “You’re speaking up for him.”
Xie He felt awkward. He was about to push Ye Jinzhou off him when he saw that Ye Jinzhou had suddenly come in close. Ye Jinzhou stuck one hand into his clothes. Xie He knew what he was planning on doing and said angrily, “Don’t mess around.”
Ye Jinzhou rubbed his lips against Xie He’s neck. “I’m not messing around. I’m working, ah.”
“Stop with the nonsense,” Xie He said helplessly. He really was at his wits end with this boyfriend of his who was always going into heat.
“Of course, as a secretary, it is part of my work to make sure that my boss is satisfied in bed, ah. Therefore, I must make you satisfied.”
Ye Jinzhou came even closer, sharp black eyes peering into Xie He’s. His mouth quirked up into a smile, “What do you think, President Bai?”
As he said this, he used his own lips to block the words that were going to come out of Xie He’s mouth.
………………………………
Ye Jinzhou’s physical strength was really good. He ‘serviced’ Xie He on the sofa earnestly, right until Xie He began to beg him to let him off. He then held Xie He in his arms, biting on his earlobe. “President Bai, are you satisfied? If you’re not satisfied, I can do it again.”
When Xie He heard this, his face paled and he said with a blank face, “I’m satisfied!”
When he saw this, Ye Jinzhou laughed. There was warm love in his black eyes. He said, “If you continue to be biased to anyone else, I’ll make sure you can’t get out of bed. You can only like me.”
He had long since realized the feelings Lin Ran harbored for Xie He. It was only Xie He who didn’t realize. It had been difficult coaxing Xie He over. He naturally would not let Lin Ran ruin their relationship.
【Xie He：I really admire him, ah. Very good, very good.】
【444：？？？】
【Xie He：His effort is exceptional. No wonder Bai Mu likes him. Just based on his skills in bed, he’s an exceptional secretary! Moreover, this is the first time the Favourability Value didn’t even rise by 1 after I’ve done it with someone. Smile.JPG 】
【444：…What’s good about that? _(:зゝ∠)_】
【Xie He：I feel like if it’s like this, we can do it a few more times. 🙂 】
【444：……】
Personally experiencing it was different from seeing it in his memories. Xie He was really pleased. He also showed Ye Jinzhou an expression full of love. He wrapped his arms around Ye Jinzhou’s neck and kissed him, “I only love you.”
Ye Jinzhou seemed to be content with Xie He’s response. He held Xie He all lovey-dovey and wasn’t willing to let go. At this moment, his phone rung. He picked it up and said, “Lunch has arrived. I’ll go get it.”
Xie He slowly dressed himself and sat up. A while later, Ye Jinzhou came back. For food to arrive now, it was obvious that Ye Jinzhou had already called for it when Xie He was speaking with Lin Ran. Ye Jinzhou had called for dishes from Bai Mu’s favorite french restaurant. Xie He gave it a try and was exceptionally pleased. The top quality ingredients were extremely fresh and the cooking was exceptional. It was cooked by a great chef. Bai Mu’s tastes weren’t bad.
After eating his fill, Xie He found Ye Jinzhou even more pleasing to the eye. Not only could he have a high quality sex life, where they could do it whenever, there was even someone taking care of his meals. Xie He felt that his own goodwill Ye Jinzhou was rising.
【Xie He：I feel a bit bad for our ZhouZhou.】
【444：Why?】
【Xie He：He obviously doesn’t like me even a bit but he has to pretend he really loves me and work hard to wait upon me. What a selfless and altruistic person, ah. Smile.JPG】
【444：……】
Xie He’s ‘ordinary’ work day came to an end at night. The two of them returned to their love nest.
Ye Jinzhou personally made dishes Xie He liked and also washed the dishes. He then kissed Xie He and the two of them rolled into bed.
The next morning, Xie He opened his eyes, satisfied. He heard 444 shout in his mind.
【444：Host dada! I’ve found information regarding Ye Jinzhou! 】
【Xie He：Don’t get so worked up. Say it slowly. 🙂 】
The author has something to say:
Hahahaha, what the heck is the stuff about ‘running away with the ball’ in the comments. Hahaha. President Xie would like to say that there’s no problem with having a more creative sex life but he can’t give birth. 23333
Eve: …I had to keep skipping forward and reading some gong abuse while translating these earlier chapters. It’s…going to be a long infuriating ride leading up to gong abuse and a long depressive fall to the end of the arc.
