 "It's Called Fun, You Wouldn't Understand"




After delivering his harsh warning, Han Qiuqiu ignored Qin Yulin's reaction and strode away.

As the music ended, everyone else also came off the dance floor. 

Song Ailun rushed back to Qin Yulin's side, just as he was putting on an understanding, gentle smile, only to run straight into Qin Yulin's icy gaze.

"Come with me!"

Qin Yulin led the way outside.







Tang Keyi was led off the dance floor by Qin Zhiyan and happened to see Han Qiuqiu shaking off Qin Yulin's hand and leaving, looking somewhat dejected.

Worried about Han Qiuqiu, Tang Keyi wanted to go check on him. 

He looked at Qin Zhiyan, considering how to bring it up, when Qin Zhiyan spoke first.

"Go."

Tang Keyi nodded. After taking a single step, he heard Qin Zhiyan add,

"Remember to come back to me."

Tang Keyi rolled his eyes internally.


[Already can't bear to part? Don't worry! I'll be back later to settle accounts with you!]


Tang Keyi left the banquet hall and found Han Qiuqiu outside in the corridor, leaning alone against the railing.

Seeing no one around, Tang Keyi asked, 

"Qiuqiu, are you okay?"

"Keyi, I'm a bit sad." 

Han Qiuqiu covered his eyes with both hands, then paused and said, 

"I'm wondering if I did something wrong."

Tang Keyi placed a hand on Han Qiuqiu's shoulder, patting it gently to comfort him, and asked, 

"What's wrong?"

Han Qiuqiu turned his head to look at Tang Keyi and said, 

"Qin Yulin... he's changed a lot... He shouldn't be like this. I originally thought that him finding a new boyfriend who looks like me was partly because he couldn't let go, and partly maybe to spite me and embarrass me. But today, what he meant seemed to be... that he misses me, that he can't bear to let me go."

Tang Keyi felt somewhat emotional. 

He had also thought before that Qin Yulin and Han Qiuqiu clearly had feelings for each other, yet Han Qiuqiu always refused to accept Qin Yulin.

Perhaps it's true that those closely involved can't see as clearly as those on the outside. 

Tang Keyi couldn't advise Han Qiuqiu, he could only support his decisions.

Tang Keyi knew in his heart that Han Qiuqiu's family was different from the Tang family. 

Han Qiuqiu's father had become the head of the Han family through decades of familial power struggles, and Han Qiuqiu's mother came from a modest background. 

God knows how much scheming it took for her to become the matriarch of the Han family.

Although Han Qiuqiu appeared on the surface like a sharp-tongued, unyielding little chili pepper, he was actually very fragile inside, afraid of getting hurt. 

He played around in the world of romance but didn't dare invest genuine feelings, nor did he believe in Qin Yulin's affections. 

It was only after realizing he had developed feelings for Qin Yulin that Han Qiuqiu chose to run away.

Han Qiuqiu's eyes were vacant. 

He asked, "Maybe I should be braver and trust him just once. But I'm really scared... Keyi, am I too cowardly? Did I do something wrong?"

Seeing his best friend showing such a vulnerable expression, Tang Keyi quickly comforted him. 

"Qiuqiu, don't overthink it. You're great! Otherwise, you wouldn't have the capital's biggest playboy wrapped around your finger!"

Han Qiuqiu tugged at the corner of his mouth, producing an ugly smile.

"Although... Qin Yulin isn't a playboy... He just switches partners frequently, but he's never two-timed anyone."

Tang Keyi: ...

Is that supposed to make me feel better?

"Keyi, I'm a bit tired. I want to leave first. What about you? Do you want to come with me?" 

Han Qiuqiu, his mind in turmoil, looked weary.

"It's okay. I'll stay here by myself. I still have to confront Qin Zhiyan later!"

Han Qiuqiu's lips moved, but in the end, he didn't tell Tang Keyi that Qin Zhiyan had already recognized him.

But with Qin Zhiyan there watching over Tang Keyi, he could feel at ease leaving first.










"I, Qin Yulin, am not short of money. 

Whatever movie you want to shoot, whatever leading role you want to play, I can satisfy you, spend money to promote you." 

Qin Yulin's expression turned stern. 

"But you need to understand your place. Stay away from Han Qiuqiu! Don't provoke him!"

Song Ailun had never seen Qin Yulin like this before—a far cry from the fun-loving, flirtatious playboy of the past. 

For a moment, he was at a loss, scared stiff.

"Do you hear me?" 

Qin Yulin's gaze grew increasingly cold and severe.

"I hear... I hear you..." 

Song Ailun replied coweringly, but a flash of hatred glinted in his eyes.

"Get lost!"

With a wave of Qin Yulin's hand, Song Ailun quickly scurried away.

Qin Zhiyan, who had watched the entire scene unfold from a corner, strolled out leisurely.

Qin Yulin's expression stiffened. Embarrassed, he said, 

"Zhiyan, since when did you develop the bad habit of eavesdropping?"

"If you two didn't want to be overheard, you should have found a room to talk privately instead of discussing things in the courtyard. And yet you blame me for eavesdropping?" 

In response to Qin Yulin's accusation, Qin Zhiyan answered with calm composure.

Having nothing to say back, Qin Yulin could only retort, 

"I just saw you dancing with a beautiful woman. Are you trying to take over my title as the capital's most dashing young master Qin? I heard she's a distant relative of the Tang family? She's indeed beautiful. If I liked women, I'd probably be smitten too. Are you planning to dump Tang Keyi?"

Qin Zhiyan let out a light scoff. 

"You can keep your title. That is Tang Keyi."

"What?" 

Qin Yulin was dumbfounded. 

"Tang Keyi is cross-dressing? And he looks that good? I didn't recognize him at all!"

"Poor eyesight," 

Qin Zhiyan criticized without mercy.

"But why is Tang Keyi cross-dressing?"

"It's called fun. You wouldn't understand," 

Qin Zhiyan replied enigmatically.

Qin Yulin: ...

That phrase sounds a bit familiar... I think I said that to Qin Zhiyan once...
He must have secretly written it down in his little grudge notebook. 
And now, today, he's giving it right back to me...
The problem is! 
You, who've been single for nearly thirty years, a rookie who just started dating, are talking to ME about 'fun'?
Qin Yulin forced himself to ignore the blatant smugness in Qin Zhiyan's eyes.
It's nothing, nothing. 
Little boys who've just started dating are like this. 
They like showing off their love. Just endure it. Don't accidentally offend this vindictive, grudge-holding guy again. 
If you do, you'll be the one who suffers...

Qin Yulin counseled himself.

After calming down, Qin Yulin thought, 
If Han Qiuqiu dressed as a woman, he'd definitely look good too...

Qin Yulin silently began fantasizing.

Seeing the change in Qin Yulin's expression, Qin Zhiyan knew exactly what he was thinking. 

He abruptly shattered his fantasy, saying, 

"You probably have no chance of seeing Han Qiuqiu in women's clothing. Why not have that guy from earlier dress up? The effect probably wouldn't be too different."

Qin Yulin felt as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped over his head.

Qin Zhiyan spoke bluntly: "Since when did you become so persistent?"

"You're right. Since when have I, Qin Yulin, ever been this persistent about anyone? It's not like me at all. But..." 

Qin Yulin smiled bitterly. 

"I originally intended to make myself get tired of that face as quickly as possible. Who knew I'd only fall deeper? I also want to quickly return to being that Qin Yulin who flits through flowers without a single leaf touching him. How did I end up like this—neither one thing nor the other..."

"Maybe this is your comeuppance for being such a playboy before. Unlike me. Because I've been pure of heart for so many years, heaven gifted me this treasure," 

Qin Zhiyan said in a flat tone, yet unable to hide his smugness.


Qin Yulin: ...

I wanted you to comfort me, not mock me and show off your relationship.





After seeing Han Qiuqiu to the door, Tang Keyi ran into Li Mingxing on his way back.

Li Mingxing was domineering and clearly looking for trouble.

"Tang Ketian, let me tell you: stay away from Qin Zhiyan!"

Tang Keyi was shocked. 

Could Li Mingxing still have feelings for Qin Zhiyan?

But then Li Mingxing continued, 

"He's Tang Keyi's man. Don't you dare get any improper ideas! Otherwise, the Tang family won't let you off, and I'll quietly destroy you too!"

After delivering his threat, Li Mingxing left on his own, leaving Tang Keyi full of questions.

Was Li Mingxing doing this to help him? 
Was he warning 'Tang Ketian' on his behalf?

Tang Keyi found Li Mingxing more and more confusing.

At the entrance of the banquet hall, Tang Keyi saw Chu Minmin.

He was about to walk past her when she stopped him.

"Miss Tang, do you have time for a drink?"

Somewhat surprised, Tang Keyi nodded, looking at Chu Minmin, waiting for her to continue.

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...

SDS: Chapter 04

Tang Keyi never expected that a single furtive glance would lead to direct eye contact with Qin Zhiyan. His heart lurched, and he immediately ducked his head,  pretending to focus on the nonexistent rice in his bowl. [Did he see me?] [Ugh, of course he did—I’m way too eye-catching…] [What now? Should I peek again?] [Maybe he’s not looking anymore…] [What if we lock eyes again?] [I’m overthinking this. He was just scanning the room. No way he knows who I am…] Unbeknownst to Keyi, every thought echoed crystal-clear in Zhiyan’s mind. Zhiyan studied the young man practically burying his face in his bowl,  confirming the impossible: he could hear Keyi’s inner monologue. So this is the infamous Tang Keyi?  The same one who’d boldly declared he’d marry him—yet now cower...

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 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

By -
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 100 Differentiation into Alpha

By -
Yan Yixin anxiously asked,  "What are you all talking about? I don’t understand. Why are you still discussing Ye Kang?" "Xinxin, I'll tell you later,"  Lin Shuquan could roughly guess the situation.  He looked at Yan Jinsui with eyes full of affection and concern.  "Jinsui, you've probably had a tough few days. I can see you've lost quite a bit of weight." Yan Jinsui shook his head.  "Liang An has had it much harder than me. Father, Dad, we should bring him back soon." "Jinsui, don’t worry, I’ll get to the bottom of this,"  Lin Shuquan comforted him.  "Don’t overthink it. Even if what that woman said is true, Jinsui, you will always be our child. That will never change." Yan Yixin agreed,  "Quan Ge is right. Jinsui, no matter what, you are still our child." Yan Jinsui was touched.  Lin Shuquan and Yan Yixin were truly kind to him,  and he was grateful that fate had given him two wonderful fathers… ...
