This gathering wasn’t part of the original plot,
so Nian Jin sui assumed nothing unexpected would happen.
After getting Chu Hejun’s approval, he decided to bring Qin Chengyu along.
By now, it had become a habit for Nian Jin sui to include Qin Chengyu in nearly all his outings.
Qin Chengyu drove them to the venue on time, following the navigation system.
Chu Hejun, Chu Heting, and Ning Liang’an arrived in the same car and were already waiting.
The moment Ning Liang’an saw Nian Jinsui, he excitedly ran over to chat, clearly thrilled after not seeing him for a while.
Meanwhile, the three men left on the sidelines each had their grievances.
Chu Heting, who was still only in an ambiguous stage with Ning Liang’an, felt irked seeing how warmly Ning Liang’an treated Nian Jinsui.
Chu Hejun, hoping to create fond memories with Nian Jinsui before leaving, found himself unable to get a word in edgewise because of Ning Liang’an on one side and Qin Chengyu on the other.
And Qin Chengyu? He was just generally displeased with everything.
He was annoyed that Chu Heting was the person Nian Jinsui liked.
He was annoyed that Chu Hejun liked Nian Jinsui.
And he was annoyed that Nian Jin sui seemed to enjoy talking to Ning Liang an so much.
Chu Hejun whispered to Chu Heting,
"Can you get Ning Liang’an to leave Nian Jinsui alone? They’ve been talking forever."
Seated in the shade, Chu Heting kept his gaze on Ning Liang’an and replied nonchalantly, "I’m not going to meddle in something that’s a lose-lose for me. If you want to win Nian Jinsui over, you’ll have to do it yourself."
When Chu Heting first learned of Chu Hejun’s feelings for Nian Jin sui, he was skeptical.
But as the saying goes, everyone has their preferences.
Plus, after the school anniversary incident,
during which Nian Jin sui stepped in to save the day and prevent a stage accident,
it became clear that Nian Jin sui wasn’t a bad person at heart.
Chu Hejun had his reasons for liking him.
Chu Heting didn’t entirely understand it, but he respected it.
"I haven’t relied on myself?" Chu Hejun retorted, feeling indignant.
"I confessed publicly at my concert. Unlike you, dragging your feet even though you both like each other."
Chu Heting finally glanced at Chu Hejun and responded dryly,
"Right, you’re amazing. You confessed and got rejected."
Chu Hejun: …
All Chu Hejun could do was silently curse before flipping a discreet middle finger at Chu Heting when he wasn’t looking.
Chu Heting continued,
"I know Ning Liang an likes me too, but I can tell he still has some reservations. I don’t want to pressure him. It’s better to let things take their course."
"People say rivals in love always clash. How come Nian Jinsui and Ning Liang’an get along so well? Good thing they’re both Omegas, or I’d think Ning Liang an liked Nian Jinsui."
"Are you spouting nonsense again?"
Chu Heting frowned, then changed the subject.
"By the way, I heard a rumor recently that the Nian family might be planning to have Qin Chengyu marry into their family."
Chu Hejun was stunned.
"No way. Qin Chengyu is from the Qin family. Qin Zhuo cares so much about appearances. Even if he dislikes Qin Chengyu, he wouldn’t let him marry into the Nian family."
"Qin Zhuo is vain, but he also considers the benefits. Our families have always been rivals. Gaining the favor of the neutral Nian family would be a significant advantage."
"But I don’t think Nian Jinsui likes Qin Chengyu. At best, Qin Chengyu is just a tagalong. Nian Jinsui wouldn’t agree."
"Who knows what the future holds? Maybe your rival isn’t me, but Qin Chengyu."
Chu Heting’s sharp gaze shifted to Qin Chengyu.
Qin Chengyu immediately sensed something and returned Chu Heting’s glare,
their eyes locking in a silent battle that seemed to spark flames in the air.
Fortunately, the farmhouse host appeared just in time to break the tension.
"Welcome to my farmhouse! Now that everyone’s here, let’s head up the mountain to forage for mushrooms and wild vegetables. When we return, we’ll have mushroom soup, vegetable soup, and barbecue for lunch. Be sure not to pick brightly colored mushrooms, and let me check your finds before we cook them. Let’s get started!"
Nian Jin sui, intrigued by the idea of foraging, eagerly followed the host up a mountain trail.
Once they reached the foraging area,
the host gave a brief introduction to the edible mushrooms and vegetables before letting everyone explore on their own.
However, Ning Liang an and Qin Chengyu stuck close to Nian Jin sui.
Noticing that Ning Liang an seemed to want to talk to him,
Nian Jin sui decided to send Qin Chengyu off.
"Chengyu, go gather more mushrooms. We can barbecue them later."
Qin Chengyu glanced at Ning Liang an, understanding the situation, and nodded before walking away.
"Ning Liang an, do you have something to say? It’s just the two of us now. Go ahead,"
Nian Jin sui said, searching for mushrooms as he spoke.
After hesitating briefly, Ning Liang an finally asked,
"Young Master Nian, do you like Young Master Chu?"
Like, my foot.
Before Nian Jinsui could respond, the system interrupted with a reminder:
[Friendly Reminder: The host must not deviate from character settings. Please answer carefully.]
Nian Jin sui pursed his lips, knowing this was coming. His voice was stiff as he replied,
"Yes, I do."
Ning Liang an lowered his gaze and said nothing more.
Watching the hesitation on Ning Liang an’s face, Nian Jin sui had a vague suspicion.
According to the novel,
Chu Heting and Ning Liang an should have confirmed their relationship by now.
Yet something seemed to be holding them back.
Based on Ning Liang an’s question,
could it be that he was hesitating because of concerns about Nian Jin sui’s feelings?
Just then, a new system task appeared.
[Mission Alert: To ensure the smooth progression of the main storyline, the host must counsel Ning Liang’an and help him and Chu Heting confirm their romantic relationship.]
Nian Jinsui sighed inwardly.
Am I not supposed to be the scheming villain here?
Since when do villains become love counselors for the protagonists?
Oh well.
He’d lived longer than Ning Liang’an and eaten more rice,
so he might as well act as the wise older brother for once.

"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...

“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...

"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 ...

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, ...

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 ...
