SDS: Chapter 70

By -
 "The Capital's Top Beauty" Qin Corporation. "Mr. William, haven't you already met with President Qin? Is there something else you need here?" Tang Keyi maintained his last shred of patience as he faced William, who was scrutinizing  him without restraint. Tang Keyi thought to himself,  Could it be that he can't bear to part with Qin Zhiyan and wants to wait outside just to catch a few more glances of him? William withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, thinking that this little assistant was indeed good-looking.  He probably won Qin Zhiyan over with this face. Instead of answering,  William picked up the nameplate on the desk, glanced at it, and said "Tang Keyi? Your name is quite cute." Tang Keyi sneered inwardly.  Your intentions have been exposed by me. Don't even think about trying to cozy up to me. "Thank you so much for the compliment, Mr. William." Feeling Tang Keyi's obvious hostility, William simply assumed he was upset on Q...

"I Don’t Like It When You Fear Me"


The two horses pressed close together, nuzzling affectionately. 

Tang Keyi glanced at Qin Zhiyan’s horse and suddenly understood.

"Oh, it’s this horse! They’re a couple—apparently they’ve been breeding recently, so they’re extra clingy."

"I see." 

Qin Zhiyan’s expression remained neutral.

"The stablehand said once they’re back in the stall, they’ll stick together like glue. Didn’t expect them to reunite out here—looks like they can’t bear to part now." 

Tang Keyi sighed.

"The stablehand didn’t mention that to me." 

Qin Zhiyan lied without blinking.

"I don’t mind—I’m a bit tired anyway. But you just got here, President Qin. Maybe swap horses?"

"I only came with Yilin. Wasn’t planning to ride. Changing now would be a hassle." 

A pause. 

"Walk a few laps with me instead?"

Tang Keyi couldn’t refuse.

They urged their horses forward side by side.

The horses’ closeness forced their riders into proximity. 

Their legs brushed occasionally, making Tang Keyi fidget.

When his mare persistently nudged Qin Zhiyan’s stallion, 

Tang Keyi yanked the reins in frustration.

[You’re a lady! Have some dignity!]

"Tang Keyi," 

Qin Zhiyan said mildly, 

"don’t be a love-blocker."

Defeated, Tang Keyi loosened the reins, letting the horses shamelessly flirt.

Aside from their KTV encounter when they first met, 

this was their longest uninterrupted time alone. 

Back then, fear had dominated; now, inexplicable nervousness made his pulse race.

[I shouldn’t be scared of him anymore… so why’s my heart pounding?]

Perhaps infected by Tang Keyi’s tension, 

Qin Zhiyan’s own heartbeat seemed to quicken.

Qin Zhiyan wasn’t talkative, and Tang Keyi—usually lively—

hadn’t yet reached comfort-level with him. 

They completed a full lap in silence.

"Tang Keyi." 

Qin Zhiyan finally spoke.

"Yeah?" 

Tang Keyi answered a bit too loudly.

"Still afraid of me?"

The question caught Tang Keyi off guard. He fiddled with the reins. 

"Why… would you ask that?"

"I don’t like it when you’re afraid." 

Qin Zhiyan’s dark eyes pinned him, magnetic. 

"So stop."

Thump-thump-thump—

The deer in Tang Keyi’s chest went berserk, crashing wildly.

Then, Han Qiuqiu’s exasperated shout shattered the moment:

"Tang Keyi! Qin Yilin’s driving me insane! I’m leaving—you coming?"

Flushed, Tang Keyi blurted, 

"President Qin, I’ll go ahead. The horse is yours."

Since the mare wouldn’t budge, he handed the reins to Qin Zhiyan, dismounted, 

and vaulted over the fence.

Watching him disappear, Qin Zhiyan stroked the stallion’s mane and murmured, 

"May you grow old together and have many foals."

The horses: ???






Driving home along the riverbank, 

Tang Keyi spotted a figure climbing the railing. 

He slammed the brakes.

"Holy shit—suicide?!"

He sprinted toward the figure, yelling, 

"Wait! Stop!"

The person turned—revealing Li Mingxing’s face.

Tang Keyi gaped. 

"Li Mingxing?! You’re killing yourself?!"

Li Mingxing, leaning on the railing, looked equally surprised. 

"Tang Keyi? What’re you doing here?"

"Don’t do it! Even if your mom’s gone, you can’t follow her! Look at me—both my parents died, and I’m still kicking!" 

Tang Keyi had heard about Li Mingxing’s mother passing days prior.

Li Mingxing stared, then scoffed. 

"You think I’m jumping?"

"Aren’t you?" Tang Keyi faltered. 

"Then why climb the railing?"

"There’s steps here." 

Li Mingxing pointed downward. 

"To sit."

"Oh." Tang Keyi scratched his head, mortified. 

Should’ve looked first.

Their relationship was already rocky—

this made it painfully awkward.

Just then, a delivery rider pulled up on an e-bike. 

"Two cases of beer—who ordered?"

"Me." 

Li Mingxing took the crates.

As the rider left, Li Mingxing pried a bottle open against the railing and took several long swigs.

Tang Keyi hesitated. 

Leaving felt wrong, but staying…

"If you’re not leaving," 

Li Mingxing said flatly, 

"have a drink."

Decision made. 

Tang Keyi climbed over and joined him on the steps.

Li Mingxing handed him an opened bottle.

"Plenty of better places to drink," Tang Keyi ventured after a sip. 

"It’s cold here—and dangerous if you get drunk."

"It’s quiet."

"Right." 

Noticing Li Mingxing’s red-rimmed eyes, 

Tang Keyi softened. "You… holding up?"

"Don’t look at me like that." Li Mingxing’s voice was rough.

"I’m fine. Don’t bother with platitudes. Just drink."

"Got it." 

Relief washed over Tang Keyi—comforting people wasn’t his forte.

They drank in silence until Li Mingxing suddenly spoke:

"Tang Keyi."

"Hm?"

Li Mingxing’s expression was uncharacteristically solemn. 

"Remember what you told me… years ago?"

"What did I say?"

A long pause. 

Li Mingxing studied Tang Keyi’s blank face before looking away.

"Nothing. Childhood nonsense." He stood abruptly. "Let’s go."

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 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

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 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 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...

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 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 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...
