And I'm really sorry for ton of late and super late update. right now I'm working on my undergraduate paper as I under a lot of pressures to graduate on this last batch of year it's became difficult for me to keep productive.

Chapter 68 A Hotpot Gathering Between Rivals

By -

"Jinsui, I haven’t gone out in a while. Can I come with you?" Qin Chengyu’s voice was calm, but his gaze carried a hint of anticipation.

Nian Jinsui pondered for a moment before nodding. "Sure, you do need a break. It’s good to relax once in a while."

After all, his monthly assessment for harming Qin Chengyu was already complete, so he didn’t need to push him to stay home and work out. Qin Chengyu rarely asked to go out, so it seemed reasonable to indulge him.

That evening, Chu Hejun arrived first at the reserved private room. The moment Nian Jinsui entered, his face lit up with a smile—only to freeze upon spotting Qin Chengyu trailing behind.

"Jinsui, why did you bring him?"

"You didn’t say I couldn’t bring someone. I’ll cover the bill tonight, then." Nian Jinsui sat down without a care, flipping through the menu. "It’s cold. Hotpot is perfect for this weather."

Chu Hejun’s disappointment was fleeting, quickly replaced by a forced smile. "Of course, tonight’s on me. Order whatever you like."

Qin Chengyu, however, picked up on Chu Hejun’s subtle dismay. A faint, mocking smile curled his lips as he calmly took a seat beside Nian Jinsui.

This slight expression didn’t escape Chu Hejun’s sharp eyes, and he clenched his jaw in frustration. This guy must’ve come on purpose. Typical Qin family—always insufferable.

It was clear that Chu Hejun and Qin Chengyu were like oil and water, their mutual disdain palpable.

Soon, the hotpot ingredients were brought to the table. Nian Jinsui had ordered a divided pot with spicy broth and a mild one, and the three quickly began cooking their meal.

"Jinsui, are you having the spicy or the mild broth?" Chu Hejun asked.

"Spicy, of course. It’s only mildly spicy—I can handle it." Nian Jinsui gleefully tossed several plates of food into the bubbling spicy broth.

Chu Hejun fished out some broccoli from the spicy broth and placed it in Nian Jinsui’s bowl. "The meat isn’t ready yet. Have some veggies first."

But Nian Jinsui wrinkled his nose and pushed the bowl aside. "I don’t like broccoli. You eat it."

While Nian Jinsui knew broccoli was great for fitness enthusiasts, he simply couldn’t stand its peculiar taste.

"Wait, wasn’t it you who ordered it?"

Nian Jinsui shook his head. "That was for Qin Chengyu. He loves his vegetables."

"I don’t like broccoli either," Qin Chengyu replied coolly.

Chu Hejun, visibly annoyed, moved to toss the broccoli into Qin Chengyu’s bowl but was stopped by Nian Jinsui again.

"Hold on! He can’t handle spicy food. Just leave it aside."

Chu Hejun gritted his teeth. "Let me guess, you ordered the mild broth for him too?"

"Of course," Nian Jinsui replied nonchalantly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"And what about me? Didn’t think to order anything I like?" Chu Hejun asked, half-pouting, half-irritated.

"I don’t know what you like," Nian Jinsui answered matter-of-factly.

Chu Hejun: …

Well, he couldn’t argue with that.

Meanwhile, Qin Chengyu quietly fished some tripe out of the spicy broth and placed it in Nian Jinsui’s bowl. "Jinsui, the tripe is ready. I know you love it."

"Ah, you know me so well!" Nian Jinsui beamed.

"Mm." Qin Chengyu’s voice was low and soft. He glanced at Chu Hejun with a faint, victorious smirk.

The tension in the room rose palpably as Chu Hejun silently ground his molars. This was supposed to be a chance to bond with Nian Jinsui, but it had turned into a three-person gathering full of subtle jabs.

"Chu Hejun, hurry up and eat! The meat will get overcooked," Nian Jinsui urged, blissfully unaware of the simmering rivalry.

"Fine…" Chu Hejun adjusted his expression and picked up his chopsticks.

As they ate, Nian Jinsui suddenly remembered something. "By the way, you said on the phone you wanted to discuss something important. What is it?"

At this, Chu Hejun’s face turned serious. "Jinsui, we’ve figured out who was behind the trouble during the school gala."

Nian Jinsui wasn’t surprised. The Chu family wielded enough power that solving such petty schemes was inevitable.

"Oh? Who was it?" He feigned curiosity, fully aware of the answer.

"Ye Kang."

"Really? No way!" Nian Jinsui gasped dramatically, leaning into his over-the-top performance.

Although his reaction was a bit exaggerated, Chu Hejun, now thoroughly biased by his rose-tinted view of Nian Jinsui, didn’t find it odd. He continued, his tone grave:

"He even tried to pin the blame on you, claiming you instructed him to do it. He wanted to frame you."

"What?! That’s outrageous!" Nian Jinsui exclaimed, still acting shocked.

Qin Chengyu shot him a sidelong glance. Was Nian Jinsui genuinely unaware?

His gaze lingered on Nian Jinsui’s wide eyes and slightly parted lips, darkening slightly. This expression… is oddly adorable.

Meanwhile, Chu Hejun was seething. "We’ve confirmed it was him. Originally, I wanted the Chu family to deal with him, but since this involves you, I wanted to hear your opinion first."

"I…" Nian Jinsui opened his mouth, ready to agree that Ye Kang deserved punishment. After all, Ye Kang’s duplicity was undeniable.

But before he could finish, the system interrupted him.

[Attention, Host. To ensure the continuation of the main storyline, the Host must spare Ye Kang.]

Nian Jinsui blinked, processing the message. So Ye Kang still has a role to play and can’t be written off yet.

"I think… he must’ve just had a lapse in judgment. Let’s give him another chance this time," Nian Jinsui said carefully, choosing his words.

Though he was deeply annoyed by Ye Kang’s actions, the system’s orders left him with no choice.

Chu Hejun was visibly frustrated. "A lapse in judgment? You really believe that? Who knows how many times he’s done this to you before?"

Nian Jinsui hesitated. Before he had taken over this body, many of its previous misdeeds hadn’t been framed on him—they were genuinely his doing.

"I’ve done my share of bad things too," Nian Jinsui admitted softly. "Let’s give him a chance."

"Are you serious?" Chu Hejun was incredulous. In his mind, the Nian Jinsui he knew would never let such a grave injustice slide so easily.

"Yes, Chu Hejun. We’re friends, right? Consider this a favor to me. I’ll explain everything to Ning Liang’an myself," Nian Jinsui reassured him.

Though the system required him to protect Ye Kang, he couldn’t replace Ning Liang’an’s right to feel hurt or angry. He would have to handle the fallout personally.

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

By -
"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 51 Attending the Celebration Banquet in Style

By -
"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 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 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 4 If you don’t complete the task, you will be punished

By -
[Host, remember this: beyond the storyline, the world is vast.] “What does that mean? Can you be more specific?” [Host, you must understand that the novel's storyline does not describe every hour of every day. Moreover, you are just a side character, so the storyline involving you is relatively sparse. This means that as long as you don't violate the system's rules, you are free to do as you please during the times when you are not part of the storyline.] “But won’t this affect the development of the plot? After all, I’m living in what feels like a real world.” [It naturally could, which is why you have the opportunity to change your ending. For example, today you jumped off a building, and Qin Chengyu saved you. This event was not part of the novel’s original storyline. It will inevitably affect Qin Chengyu’s impression of you.] Nian Jinsui sneered,  “Of course it will. He saved me, making him my lifesaver. But in the future, I’ll have to follow the storyline and mis...

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 ...

Chapter 7 My favorite brother Ting

Ting After Nian Jinsui completed his check-up in the afternoon, the group got on the car back to Nian's home. Nian Jinsui sat in the back seat of the car, tapping his fingers quickly on the screen of his mobile phone, checking Nian Jinsui's circle of friends and WeChat friends. When he saw that Chu Heting's chat box was pinned to the top and the note was called  "My favorite brother Ting,"  although Nian Jinsui was not surprised, he still couldn't help but feel a chill. Brother Ting? I'm still disgusted! Nian Jinsui curled his lips in disgust and was about to change the note for him when a systematic reminder suddenly came to his mind. [Host, this note is mentioned in the plot of the novel, so no modification is allowed. ] Nian Jinsui then rolled his eyes and had to give up. Qin Chengyu raised his eyelids slightly, and through the rearview mirror, he saw that Nian Jinsui had been tapping the screen of his mobile phone, which made him suddenly remember the...

Chapter 23 You’ll Be Living in the Storage Room

By -
  Nian Jinsui unwrapped the LEGO set and dumped all the pieces onto the carpet.  Carefully, he maneuvered himself off his wheelchair and sat on the floor, immediately starting to assemble the pieces. Qin Chengyu, seated across from him, first picked up the instruction manual to study it. “Come on, start building,”  Nian Jinsui said, pushing a small bag of LEGO pieces toward Qin Chengyu. It was Qin Chengyu’s first time encountering LEGO.  After carefully examining the instructions, his movements were slower.  While he had only assembled a few pieces, Nian Jinsui had already completed a small portion. “Look, I’ve nearly finished the car chassis,”  Nian Jinsui boasted.  “So, you’re not some magical beginner with a gaming halo in everything after all.” Qin Chengyu glanced at the model in front of Nian Jinsui, then pointed to a specific section.  “You made a mistake here.” “Impossible!”  Nian Jinsui retorted, immediately defensive. Qin Che...

Chapter 6 He is different from the rumors

By -
Qin Chengyu:  ? ? ? What's the problem? Qin Chengyu was silent for a moment. He didn't understand the purpose of Nian Jinsui's question, but he still answered it. "It's called a person with an inability to smell." "Wrong answer!" Nian Jinsui suddenly became excited, stretched out his index finger and shook it from side to side "Now the correct answer is revealed. People who can't smell are called Betas! Hahahaha..." Nian Jinsui He laughed at his own joke and kept giggling. But Qin Chengyu's expression was dull and without a smile.  He looked at Nian Jinsui, and there was even a trace of imperceptible hostility in his eyes. Is this Nian Jinsui mocking him for not being able to smell pheromones? But he doesn't want to smell pheromones. It's great to be a Beta.  He doesn't have to be influenced by pheromones like Alpha and Omega and do some uncontrollable behaviors.  It's disgusting to think about it. Qin Chengyu suffe...

Chapter 26 Giving Nian Jin a Rub on His Bruise

By -
Nian Jin Sui’s tired and weak appearance caught Qin Cheng Yu’s attention, causing him to frown slightly. When Qin Cheng Yu turned to leave, Nian Jin Sui assumed he was going back to his room.  To his surprise, Qin Cheng Yu went into the bathroom, returning with two dry towels and a hairdryer. “Young Master Nian, do you experience this kind of symptom often?”  Qin Cheng Yu asked while placing the items by the bedside.  He squatted down and used a towel to gently wipe the water stains on the plaster bandage of Nian Jin Sui’s right leg. Nian Jin Sui, feeling both surprised and flattered, wondered why Qin Cheng Yu was suddenly so concerned. He answered vaguely,  “Only occasionally... not often…” Qin Cheng Yu didn’t press further, assuming that Nian Jin Sui wasn’t paying much attention to his own health.  After all, Nian Jin Sui seemed indifferent even to the bruise on his knee and had no intention of treating it. “It’s a good thing the bandage only got slightl...
