Banana Panic

Xi Qing had been deeply troubled lately, to the point where white hairs had started sprouting. On one hand, she was baffled—how could Jing Zhengxuan like men? When did this start? Was there someone he liked now? On the other hand, she was deeply worried about his future. The child had always been stubborn, and with this orientation on top of it, the road ahead seemed bleak. For his sake, until everything was clear, Xi Qing didn’t dare breathe a word to the family—she hadn’t even told Jing Zhengxuan’s father. To sort out her thoughts and ease her worries, she could only turn to Huaimo for a chat. The Jing and Huai families had always been close, and Xi Qing and Huaimo had long been kindred spirits. She knew Huaimo wouldn’t discriminate against homosexuality. After several heart-to-heart conversations, Xi Qing came up with a plan. First, she sent someone to investigate, but the information she got was limited—mostly hearsay and gossip, utterly unreliable. Some said Jing Zhengxuan and Hua...

"By the way, is Qin Chenglu here too?" "The eldest young master and young lady have gone on a trip recently. They are not at home." Nian Jin Sui understood immediately.  They had likely fallen out of favor and were hiding away to avoid the storm. Butler Wu stayed with Nian Jin Sui through breakfast, and when the meal was over,  he suggested,  "Young Master, would you like me to show you around the house?" "Sure."  Nian Jin Sui stood up,  "But before that, your second young master didn’t live in this room, right? Why don’t you take me to see where he used to stay?" This room was luxurious and connected to both a study and a walk-in closet.  Qin Chengyu, back then, wouldn’t have stayed in such a grand place. Butler Wu hesitated but eventually agreed and led Nian Jin Sui out. Qin Chengyu's previous room was much smaller, located at the corner of the hallway.  It was dark and cold, even though it was only early September.  Stepp...

"Is the Big Shot Flirting With Me?" [I’m absolutely stunning! I’ll definitely be the most dazzling one tonight!] Before even stepping out of the dressing room,  Qin Zhiyan heard Tang Keyi’s inner monologue. Tsk.  So narcissistic. Qin Zhiyan turned the doorknob and, sure enough,  saw Tang Keyi admiring himself in the mirror. "This outfit suits Young Master Tang perfectly. With your looks, anything would look good on you." Faced with the attendant’s flattery,  Tang Keyi maintained an air of dignified elegance,  merely giving a slight hum of acknowledgment. [Damn right! I’d look good even in a potato sack!] The usual icy detachment in Qin Zhiyan’s gaze cracked slightly. Not just narcissistic— extremely  narcissistic.  But… he wasn’t wrong. The young man in the mirror was picturesque,  his eyes brimming with unconcealed delight. The well-tailored suit perfectly accentuated his long legs and narrow waist. Noticing Qin Zhiyan’s reflection, Tang Keyi tur...

Though Qin Chengyu had often carried him when he had broken his bones, Nian Jin Sui couldn’t help but feel a different kind of attention now. Qin Chengyu's actions and demands were becoming too ambiguous… As his estrus phase subsided, Nian Jin Sui gradually became more clear-headed and couldn’t help but want to slap himself.  Had he lost his mind? How did he agree to Qin Chengyu’s strange requests just now? Now, Nian Jin Sui didn’t know how to face Qin Chengyu, so he hastily gave him the cold shoulder:  "Chengyu... you should go back to your room. I want to sleep." "Jin Sui, is it just that after you’ve used me, you want to throw me away?" "It’s not that... I’m just really tired…" Qin Chengyu wanted to say, "This is my room," but he knew very well that Nian Jin Sui wouldn’t let him stay.  So instead, he went on to give him meticulous instructions:  "Alright, take a good rest. I have to work tomorrow. If you need anything, just use...

Qin Chengyu spoke softly,  "Before, when you were in estrus, I would give you suppressants. Now that I’m an Alpha, I can help relieve your discomfort. Just think of me as another form of suppressant. Compared to the newly evolved Alpha I am now, Jin Sui, you should understand that a temporary mark doesn’t mean much." Nian Jin Sui fell silent. This new angle was a bit strange... He looked into Qin Chengyu’s eyes.  While his gaze was soft,  Nian Jin Sui couldn't shake the feeling that something deeper was hidden there— something profound and elusive, like an unshakable ink cloud. It was hard to grasp, yet Nian Jin Sui felt that it had everything to do with him. This scene made Nian Jin Sui recall a month ago when he sent Qin Chengyu back to the Qin family.  At that time, Qin Chengyu had been in front of him with those bloodshot eyes,  and every word from him had been filled with disappointment and accusations. Nian Jin Sui couldn’t help but soften a little. ...
