 "Who Were You With Last Night?!"


Qin Zhiyan watched Tang Keyi's breathing grow rapid, 

yet he still stubbornly pretended to be asleep. 

It was both adorable and amusing.

He leaned down and kissed the same spot again.

Let’s see how long you can keep this up.

[Holy shit!]

[Qin Zhiyan, you—you—stop it!]

[Do you even know this counts as harassment?!]

Qin Zhiyan’s lips curved into a smirk as Tang Keyi’s face turned crimson.

"Wake up soon. I’m worried about you."

The moment the door clicked shut, Tang Keyi’s eyes flew open. 

He pressed a hand to his chest, desperately trying to muffle his frantic breathing.

[Oh my god, Qin Zhiyan kissed me? Why would he kiss me out of nowhere? Does he like me?]

[He must like me, right?]

[So I wasn’t just deluding myself?]

[Damn, I’m amazing. Did I actually manage to win over Qin Zhiyan?]

Just outside the door, Qin Zhiyan stood silently, 

eavesdropping on Tang Keyi’s inner monologue.

Of course you weren’t deluding yourself.

We’re mutual.





Half an hour later, Qin Zhiyan decided Tang Keyi had enough time to process things. 

He called room service to deliver the hangover soup he’d ordered earlier.

Tang Keyi pretended to stir awake, blinking groggily at Qin Zhiyan, 

his eyes brimming with poorly concealed shyness.

Those eyes, now tinged with a new hue because of him—they were beautiful.

Qin Zhiyan’s throat tightened as he set the soup on the nightstand. 

"Headache?"

Tang Keyi nodded pitifully. 

"Yeah."

"Serves you right." 

Qin Zhiyan unpacked the disposable slippers by the bed and placed them neatly on the floor. 

"Brush your teeth first, then drink the soup."

"Okay." 

Tang Keyi obediently shuffled to the bathroom, still dazed.

[Why isn’t Qin Zhiyan mad at me?]

[And he’s being so nice…]

[He must be head over heels for me.]

[I treated him so badly last night. Ugh, I feel kinda guilty now.]

[How are we supposed to act around each other after this?]

[He already kissed me—does that mean he’s not planning to take responsibility?]

[Did he keep sneaking kisses while I was asleep last night? Bet he did!]

[Is he waiting for me to confess? But he already knows I like him!]

[Who knew the lie I made up back then would actually come true?]

Tang Keyi’s mental chatter didn’t stop from the moment he entered the bathroom until he stepped out.

Listening to this, Qin Zhiyan couldn’t help but reflect.

A few months ago, 

he’d wondered why fate had granted him the ability to hear Tang Keyi’s thoughts.

Now, he finally understood.

Tang Keyi was a gift from heaven.

And he was very satisfied with this gift.

The "gift" in question emerged from the bathroom, 

awkwardly avoiding Qin Zhiyan’s gaze.

"Drink the soup." 

Qin Zhiyan handed it to him.

Once Tang Keyi finished, it was time for reckoning.

"Sober now? Do you remember what happened last night? If not, I can remind you."

Tang Keyi’s lips puckered as he blurted, 

"I was wrong."

[I was wrong, and I’ll do it again.]

Qin Zhiyan kept his expression stern. 

"What exactly were you wrong about?"

"Everything." 

Tang Keyi put on his best pitiful look.

[Apologize fast enough, and no one can stay mad. Hehe.]

Qin Zhiyan suppressed a snort. 

Bold of you to try slick tricks in front of me now.

"Anything you want to ask me?" 

Qin Zhiyan decided to clear the air once and for all.

Before Tang Keyi could speak, urgent knocking interrupted them, 

followed by Han Qiuqiu’s voice.

Tang Keyi rushed to open the door.

"Keyi! Are you okay?!" 

Han Qiuqiu frantically scanned him head to toe.

"I’m fine. Why—" 

Tang Keyi’s words died as his eyes landed on the vivid marks littering Han Qiuqiu’s neck. 

"You—you—who did you…?"

Han Qiuqiu waved dismissively. 

"Some irrelevant guy."

"So you came running because you were worried about me…?" 

Tang Keyi connected the dots.

Another figure barged in—Qin Yulin.

"Qiuqiu, why’d you run off like that? You’re not planning to take responsibility after sleeping with me?"

Qin Yulin’s neck bore equally conspicuous evidence of last night’s… activities.

Tang Keyi’s eye twitched. 

So Qin Yulin is the "irrelevant guy"?

Han Qiuqiu didn’t even spare Qin Yulin a glance. 

"You slept with me, got it? And I’m not asking you to take responsibility!"

Qin Yulin eagerly countered, 

"I want to take responsibility! Please let me!"

"Not happening. This was a breakup hookup, a one-night stand. You of all people should know the drill, Qin Yulin."

Qin Yulin’s expression darkened uncharacteristically. 

"Qiuqiu. Is there really no chance for us?"

Han Qiuqiu shook his head firmly. 

"Qin Yulin, let it go."

The devastation on Qin Yulin’s face was palpable as he turned and left.

"Keyi, let’s go." Han Qiuqiu tugged Tang Keyi’s arm.

Tang Keyi glanced back at Qin Zhiyan, inexplicably reluctant. "I’ll head out first, then."

"Mn." Qin Zhiyan nodded. "We’ll talk later."

Steam curled through the private hot spring, mist hanging thick in the air.

Han Qiuqiu scowled at the marks on his skin, 

which grew more pronounced in the heat. 

"That bastard bit so hard!"

Tang Keyi lowered the towel from his forehead, 

forcing himself to push aside thoughts of Qin Zhiyan’s actions that morning. 

"Qin Yulin looked pretty wrecked earlier. You really hurt him."

"That shameless playboy will bounce back in no time. Don’t mind him!" 

Han Qiuqiu dismissed.

"Qiuqiu… I get the feeling you’re not completely indifferent to him. Is there really no possibility?"

Han Qiuqiu grew serious, pausing before answering. 

"We’re both too wild. I did consider settling down, but Qin Yulin… I don’t trust him. I’m scared I’ll fall deeper while, to him, I’m no different from his exes. So it’s better to cut it off now."

"But Qin Yulin clearly can’t let you go. Can’t you give him a chance?"

"That’s just his ego and conquest complex talking." 

Han Qiuqiu sneered. 

"He’s never been dumped before, so now he’s clinging to me. 

Tang Keyi, don’t let him fool you."

"Really?" 

Tang Keyi wavered.

"What would a lifelong singleton like you know?" 

Han Qiuqiu changed the subject. 

"Now spill—what happened with Qin Zhiyan? You’re like a different person today."

"Qin Zhiyan and I…" 

Tang Keyi’s gaze darted around, stammering. 

"How do I put it… I don’t even know myself…"

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...
