Chapter 67 So Qin Cheng yu Is Jealous of Me

By -

Xilu didn’t reply immediately but instead issued a congratulatory notification.

[Congratulations, Host. This month, your assessment score for harming Qin Chengyu has reached 60 points, with 50 points from physical harm and 10 from psychological harm. The monthly assessment has been met. Please continue your efforts.]

Nian Jinsui was puzzled. 

"Last month, his psychological harm score was zero. Why is it 10 this month?"

[The system does not disclose evaluation processes to the host.]

"Xilu, come on. I’ve been completing my tasks flawlessly and scoring well. Can’t you give me a little insight? I’m dying to know how I hurt poor little Qin Chengyu’s feelings."

[Given the host’s high task performance and positive attitude, the system will make an exception and disclose the evaluation details once.]

"Really? Great! Tell me quickly!" 

Nian Jinsui eagerly urged.

[Based on the system’s evaluation, the main cause of psychological harm to Qin Chengyu this month is jealousy.]

"Jealousy?" 

Nian Jinsui blinked in surprise but quickly pieced things together.

"So Qin Chengyu is jealous of me! That makes sense. I’m good-looking, rich, and today he saw how amazing I am at the violin. Who wouldn’t be jealous? Totally understandable."

As he mulled it over, Nian Jinsui found the situation increasingly reasonable. He turned to Qin Chengyu with a playful grin. "Chengyu, don’t be jealous of your bro. Your bro is just a legend."

Qin Chengyu: ???

Meanwhile, Xilu fell into silent contemplation. Why did Nian Jinsui think Qin Chengyu was jealous of him? Couldn’t it be that Qin Chengyu was jealous because of him and someone else?

After dinner and returning to the Chu family residence, Chu Heting and Chu Hejun sat down to review the evening.

"Brother, it was Ye Kang who told me Ning Liang’an was locked in the warehouse," Chu Hejun immediately revealed. He didn’t think there was any need to honor loyalty toward a schemer.

"When I went to rescue Liang’an, I also ran into Ye Kang. It was his reminder that made me realize the storage room probably had aphrodisiacs."

Chu Hejun propped his chin in thought. "Ye Kang claimed Nian Jinsui was behind it, but after testing Nian Jinsui’s reaction, I don’t think he was the mastermind."

"The student who locked Ning Liang’an in the storage room said it was under Nian Jinsui’s orders," he continued. "But Nian Jinsui also saved the day for us tonight. He probably didn’t have any ill intentions."

Still skeptical, Chu Hejun added, "Brother, I’ll investigate further tomorrow. I also want to question Xiao Liu. It seems too coincidental that he conveniently got sick tonight."

"Wait, the aphrodisiac…" Chu Heting suddenly recalled something, pulling out his phone to make a call. After a brief conversation, he hung up, his expression serious.

"What is it, brother?" Chu Hejun asked.

"Do aphrodisiacs and inducers have a scent?"

"They usually do. They’re fragrant, I think," Chu Hejun replied thoughtfully.

"The substances in the storage room were tested and found to contain effective aphrodisiacs and inducers. They do have a scent—but only Alphas and Omegas can smell it," Chu Heting explained gravely.

"So?" Chu Hejun asked, his confusion evident.

"When Ye Kang told me he smelled something strange in the storage room, he claimed that’s how he knew something was wrong. But Ye Kang is a Beta. How could he have smelled it?" Chu Heting pointed out.

Realization dawned on Chu Hejun. "He didn’t smell it. He already knew those substances were there!"

Chu Heting pieced the events together. "He told you about Ning Liang’an to lure you to the warehouse, hoping you’d both be affected. He didn’t anticipate that I’d go instead. As for why he decided to warn me about the inducers, that remains unclear."

Chu Heting, however, didn’t care to delve into Ye Kang’s motives further.

"I knew Ye Kang was trouble. He even tried to pin this on Nian Jinsui. What an idiot," Chu Hejun fumed. "Brother, how do you plan to deal with him?"

"Does Nian Jinsui know Ye Kang has been pulling these stunts behind his back?" Chu Heting’s voice turned icy. "Tell Nian Jinsui everything. Let him handle Ye Kang. Someone like Ye Kang isn’t worth dirtying my hands over."

Chu Hejun nodded but looked worried. "I agree that we should respect Nian Jinsui’s decision, but he’s bound to feel hurt knowing how long Ye Kang has been using him. He’ll be devastated."

Chu Heting: ???

Was that what he meant?

The next morning, Nian Jinsui received a call from Chu Hejun.

"Hello? Chu Hejun? What’s up?"

"Hey, Nian Jinsui. What are you up to right now?" Chu Hejun’s voice sounded softer than usual.

"Right now, I’m… taking a…" Nian Jinsui began.

"Violin lesson?" Chu Hejun interjected.

"…taking a dump."

"…"

The blunt answer rendered Chu Hejun momentarily speechless.

"So, what do you need? If it’s important, just spit it out," Nian Jinsui pressed.

"Are you free tonight? Let’s hang out. There’s something important I need to discuss with you."

"Important? How important?"

"Very important."

Hearing the weight in Chu Hejun’s tone, Nian Jinsui hesitated before agreeing. "Alright."

"I’ll send you the time and place later," Chu Hejun said, pausing briefly before adding, "I’ll leave you to… finish up. See you tonight."

Hanging up, Nian Jinsui sighed in exasperation. Why was Chu Hejun acting so strange? He’d always addressed him by his full name before. Now he was calling him "Jinsui"? It gave him goosebumps. And what was that about "take your time"?

I’m already done, okay?!

Entering the study, Nian Jinsui addressed Qin Chengyu, who was diligently working on his assignments.

"Chengyu, I’m going out with Chu Hejun tonight."

"Chu Hejun?" Qin Chengyu’s pen paused mid-stroke. For a fleeting moment, something dark flickered in his eyes.

Chapter 1 The big fierce A turns into a vicious soft O

"Ahhh!" "Where's my big dragon!" "Why did it become a little dragon?!" Following a sharp explosion, Nian Jinsui stared in disbelief.  He checked his body repeatedly with his eyes, and finally raised his head like a bolt out of the blue, and his eyes fell on the mirror in front of him. The boy in the mirror had fluffy chestnut curly hair, his skin was as smooth and shiny as white jade, and his cheeks were stained with a faint blush, as if covered with a light crimson haze. His facial features are particularly exquisite, and he looks like God's favorite at first glance.  His eyes were very bright and moist, and they were slightly widened at this time, full of surprise.  Even the pink lips were slightly open, and it seemed that he had been greatly shocked. One look at this appearance, and you can tell that he is a noble, pampered kid from a rich family. Nian Jinsui looked at the face in front of him...

Chapter 2 I am not an Omega, I want to commit suicide!

By -
“Mr. Nian, Mr. Qin asked me to bring my family’s second young master here. I’ll leave him in your care.” A middle-aged man in a loose suit stood respectfully outside the Nian family villa, speaking to Nian Yixin. “Of course, Mr. Qin has already informed me.”  Nian Yixin replied with a polite smile, though his expression carried a natural air of measured distance. He was the head of the Nian family and, notably, an Omega. Nian Yixin’s gaze landed on the young man beside the driver.  The youth stood straight, his frame lean like a proud green bamboo.  His features were sharp and handsome, his eyes deep and dark, as though concealing icy cracks beneath a cold river, exuding an air of coldness and eeriness. At the corner of his right eye, there was a small mole, adding a faint trace of aloofness to his expression. His indifferent demeanor and taciturn nature made him less than charming as a guest. “So this is Chengyu? You’ll be living with us from now on. Feel free to...

Chapter 51 Attending the Celebration Banquet in Style

"Son, I know you’re upset right now, but for the sake of the bigger picture, you need to endure this for now"   Qin Mu yun advised.  "Nian Jinsui is the type who thrives on making a fuss. If this incident gets blown up and reaches your grandfather’s ears, it’ll be hard to handle." Compared to Qin Cheng luo, Qin Mu yun was slightly more level-headed.  Although she was angry, she hadn’t lost her rationality.  With Qin Zhuo currently evaluating Qin Cheng luo, they couldn’t afford to take any risks. Qin Cheng luo, though unwilling, understood the gravity of the situation.   "Don’t worry, Mom. Once I become the head of Qin Corporation, handling Qin Chengyu will be a piece of cake. I’ll make sure Nian Jinsui kneels before me, begging for my mark!" "Someone that even Chu Heting doesn’t want—what’s so special about him? If it weren’t for the fact that he’s the only son of the Nian family, who could tolerate his ...

Chapter 3 Come on, just let him kiss you.

By -
Nian Jinsui was having a beautiful dream.  In his dream, he had returned to his original body and even met his dream Omega. The little Omega’s face wasn’t clear; he could only see those soft-looking lips approaching him, with a faint, sweet fragrance. So proactive—how could he wait any longer? Nian Jinsui widened his eyes, trying to see the Omega’s face clearly.  He puckered his lips in anticipation of those tender, delicate lips. As his vision sharpened, however... The person before him had cold, indifferent eyes, even showing a trace of reluctance and resistance. Even the mole at the corner of his eye seemed to emit disdain.  Yet, those lips were exceptionally beautiful—plump and defined, looking so tempting to bite. Come on, come on, just give him a kiss… Just as Qin Chengyu’s lips were about to touch Nian Jinsui’s, their eyes met.  Qin Chengyu saw Nian Jinsui’s intoxicated gaze, coupled with the subtle movements of his lips. Qin Chengyu quickly lowered his eyes, ...

Chapter 5 What do you call a person who can’t smell?

By -
Nian Jinsui couldn't help but think of Qin Chengyu's life experience. The current leader of the Qin family, Qin Zhuo, is nearly seventy years old. He is still energetic and quick-thinking, and holds all the power of the Qin family firmly in his hands. Qin Zhuo is a top Alpha with high IQ and strong ability. Under his hands, the Qin family has developed into one of the three major families in the imperial capital. At the same time, he is also a proud and arrogant person. He hopes that his high-quality Alpha genes can continue to carry forward the Qin family. It's a pity that he only has two Omega daughters, Qin Muyun and Qin Muyu. Qin Zhuo could only recruit two Alpha sons-in-law, and put his hope in his grandchildren. Later, Qin Muyun and Qin Muyu gave birth to sons one year apart. It's just that Qin Muyu was not in good health originally, and became even more weak after giving birth to a child, and died a few years later. Her husband was distraught, depressed all day ...
