As the Minor Gay Love Rival in Het Novels Chapter 7.8

Chapter 7.8

As the male lead standing before him gazed at him with deep affection, Fan Yuan felt like the sky was going to fall. No wonder the female lead had been so eager to expose her brother’s “crimes” in public — she was probably aware of the threat he posed.

Last night, they were just acquaintances, how did Han Lang’s feelings develop to love overnight?! However, Fan Yuan was too lazy to find out the root cause. Anyway, there wouldn’t be any kind of normal reason. He didn’t want to hear Han Lang talk about how he lay in bed thinking about Fan Yuan throughout last night and when he woke up the next day, he suddenly felt enlightened and figured that his heart had moved for Fan Yuan!

Having experienced Lei Siye, it was not out of the realm of possibility that such a crazy answer would come out from Han Lang. It seemed that plot-kun had also given up on saving itself, otherwise, how could it let such a dog blood thing happen! Was the mission over before it had even started?

He remembered how he had to swallow so much humiliation despite carrying the burden of completing the mission. First, he had received a big-a.s.s kick in the chest by the female lead. Then, he had to drag his seriously injured body to run through the zombie-filled city for an entire afternoon, and finally he was accidentally wounded by Lei Siye multiple times while Feng Ze badly mutilated his knee. Not to mention, he had even been taken advantage of by these three men in front of him for G.o.d knows how many times!

He really felt indignant giving up just like this!

Xiao Wu comforted him, “Ding, in fact, the situation at present is not the worst. At the very least, Master no longer needs to worry about the LJ scene that you were worried about before.”

“……” Fan Yuan silently rolled his eyes, his tone that of one who had experienced many things in life, “You’re still too young, too simple ah……”

Previously, what he’d have had to deal with would just be a few slags. That issue could have easily been solved by hugging a big thigh. But now, he had to guard against these three dudes in front of him as well, could he still go to sleep at night? What if he woke up to a ruined chrysanthemum! He couldn’t be any more upset, OK?!

Meanwhile, Han Lang was still gazing at him with affectionate softness, causing the other two to frown uncontrollably. In disdain, the corners of Feng Ze’s mouth were downturned as he chuckled lightly, “Old Lei, A-Lang, it seems that we three should have a good chat about how to deal with Xiao Yuan.”

Fan Yuan glared at him indignantly once he heard the man’s words. What did he mean, ‘deal with him’? He wasn’t an object!

Unknowingly, Han Lang’s gaze shifted towards Fan Yuan. Though he noticed the boy’s unhappy expression, he didn’t rush to make a sound. Lei Siye’s cold voice came, “Yes, it’s time to properly discuss this. You’d better explain that woman’s words. You’ve been pestering Xiao Yuan for over two years?”

Feng Ze let out a light chuckle as his hand moved towards Fan Yuan’s white and tender legs, and gave two gentle strokes. Fan Yuan raised his foot and attempted to kick him, but instead, the instep of his foot was grasped, preventing him from pulling it back. Just as Fan Yuan was feeling anxious, he heard the shameless man speak in a self-a.s.sured manner, “How are you so certain that I’ve been pestering Xiao Yuan for two years, rather than it being out of his own volition?”

Lei Siye frowned, “Of course I’m certain. If Xiao Yuan has someone he likes, he absolutely won’t entangle with others.”

The other two people’s expressions changed greatly. Coming to the realisation that Feng Ze and Han Lang were projecting their gazes onto him, Fan Yuan practically wanted to die. The person that Lei Siye was referring to was obviously Yan Rui, but how could he make Yan Rui magically appear? In the worst case, it was quite possible that he would be taken for a maniac!

“Xiao Wu, do you think I can still be saved? I can’t play this little white rabbit anymore. I wanna stick an invisible charm on myself now, then I can escape without a trace qwq”

“Ding……” Playing dead.

Fan Yuan criticized the system bitterly, “I knew you weren’t reliable! Next time, I’ll choose the mission myself! “

He avoided the gaze of the three men and seriously considered the feasibility of cooking up a story. However, none of them were vegetarian, and it would be embarra.s.sing if they saw through his act.

Feng Ze pinched his jaw and forced Fan Yuan to look up at him, his emotions indiscernible from his tone, “When did you have someone you like? Why am I not aware?”

From that one question, Fan Yuan immediately felt angry. Did he have to report whom he liked to these people he wasn’t familiar with? Where did they get the right to question him? Were they better than him just because they had abilities?! He was done with playing along! If these guys had the ability, then throw him to Jiang Meng and let him be tortured to death and be done with it!

Fan Yuan pried himself away from Feng Ze’s hand and said to Lei Siye coldly, “Put me down.”

This was the very first time Lei Siye heard Fan Yuan speak in such a tone, and it was very different from his impression of the young boy. At this moment, the docile and pitiful little white rabbit had shed its fur and revealed its sharp claws. Lei Siye unknowingly obeyed the boy’s instructions and gently laid him on the ground.

As soon as Fan Yuan got free, he quickly stepped back despite his bare feet. His voice was rarely this sharp, “What do you guys want to do? What does the person I like have to do with you? Does being gay interfere with your way of life? I just want to find a person I like that likes me back and lead a good life. What did I do wrong? I didn’t kill anyone or commit arson, why should I have to bear with your interrogation!”

Han Lang quickly explained, “Xiao Yuan, you’ve misunderstood. We don’t look down on you, we just care about you. In fact, I also……”

Fan Yuan was afraid that Han Lang would suddenly confess, so he quickly interrupted in a cold voice, “You don’t have to explain. I can see everything clearly, we got along well before, but now that you guys know I’m gay, you’re discussing how to deal with me. In fact, you don’t have to worry. Even if I like men, I don’t just fall for any guy I see. I’ll stay away from you guys in the future. This way, you can all sleep peacefully, no?”

Naturally, Feng Ze knew that Fan Yuan was making use of this as a pretext. He understood very clearly how much Jiang Yuan could scheme, so it was impossible that he would fail to see that all three of them were interested in him. It was obvious that he wanted to draw a line between them and keep a distance. This child had really gotten more and more cunning.

With a curve of his mouth, he said, “Xiao Yuan, don’t use a stick to kill an entire boat of men. These two are straight men, but I’m not. I’m your first man. Since I was the one who pulled you down into the water to begin with, I will naturally take the responsibility to care for you. You don’t know how to do anything and Jiang Meng doesn’t care about your life and death, so why don’t you follow me in the future? I will love you well.”

Fan Yuan was completely defeated by his thick skin. Didn’t you say that we didn’t go all the way?! Now you’re even speaking about it so ambiguously — the first man, you motherf*cker?! Why didn’t you help when the original host was facing off with the female lead! Where were you when the original host was being LJ-ed? When he was thrown into the horde of zombies?!

Though he was feeling furious, Fan Yuan refused to explain himself. Right now, he really needed the whole world to throw mud at him. If this would make Lei Siye and Han Lang give up on him completely, he would be extremely delighted, but obviously, things could never go the way he wanted.

Lei Siye gritted his teeth and said, “You must have forced him, didn’t you?”

Han Lang also said in a deep voice, “Your means are too despicable!”

In the face of their accusations, Feng Ze laughed in spite of the tense atmosphere, “Do the means matter? If I didn’t make him bent, would you guys still have a chance to s.n.a.t.c.h him away from me right now?”

As Fan Yuan listened to their dispute, he simply decided to sleep and let them fight it out. In any case, no one could do anything to him until they came to an agreement. His chrysanthemum was still safe for the time being.

When he had had enough of escaping from reality and finally resolved to complete the mission seriously, it was already late into the night.

Instead of opening his eyes in a hurry, he asked Xiao Wu to check the location and the distribution of all the team members. What happened during the day had taught him a painful lesson. Everything had to be planned before he moved, if not it would be easy for him to be caught off guard.

“Ding, we are currently on the road. We are positioned at the junction between Q city and H city. According to our current speed, we will arrive in H city at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning. Master and the three others — Han Lang, Lei Siye and Feng Ze — are in the same car, while the others are following behind.”

Fan Yuan calculated in silence — the plot of this whole arc, journeying to the capital city, was predominantly about how he was plotted against by the female lead, and after, he would suffer through all kinds of hardships. But with these three free-of-charge bodyguards in front of him, let alone being bullied, it would be difficult for the female lead to even graze a hair on him. Follow what f*cking plot now?!

The main priority for him was to settle down these three people and get his personal freedom. Then……then he would think about it later.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he found that he was sitting on Han Lang’s lap with his head pressed against the man’s warm chest, while his two powerful arms were encircled around Fan Yuan as if the man was afraid for dear life that he would b.u.mp into something. This sensation of another person giving their heart and soul to care for him was very familiar. However, the thing was that this man was far more upright than a certain someone. There were none of those shameless little actions — it wasn’t him after all.

Fan Yuan couldn’t explain the feeling in his heart. It was only the fourth day since he came to this world, but he seemed to be more and more afraid of being lonely.

“Let go of me.”

As soon as he opened his mouth, the silent atmosphere in the car was immediately broken. Lei Siye, who was driving in front, quickly directed the car to the roadside and asked as he whipped around, “Xiao Yuan is awake? Or did I hear it wrong?”

“……” Fan Yuan said, “You didn’t hear it wrong.”

Han Lang’s arm trembled slightly as he looked down at the boy in his arms. When Fan Yuan met his gaze, he realised that the corners of the man’s mouth were entirely black and blue. He frowned and said, “What happened to your face?”

Han Lang’s expression turned a little uneasy as he shook his head, “It’s nothing, it doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Feng Ze, who was sitting beside Han Lang, snorted coldly, “Of course he doesn’t feel that it hurts. The beauty is in his arms, plus our injuries are even more serious than his.”

Somehow, Fan Yuan caught a trace of aggrievedness from his words. Just as he was about to find out why, he heard Lei Siye murmur, “Those who agree to fight have to accept defeat. I didn’t complain about driving in the front, so who are you to complain?”

The corner of Fan Yuan’s mouth twitched, wasn’t he indirectly complaining as well? He was just an inch short of openly making a complaint to him, wasn’t he? So these three people fought over where they should sit? Now he had only one question, “A Level Three ice ability user, a Level Three thunder ability user, and a Level Three wind ability user. You guys already had a fight, but still have it in you to quarrel over here again?”

Han Lang explained, “We didn’t use our abilities, we used physical strength.”

Fan Yuan let out an ‘Oh’ with a tone that was full of regret. Feng Ze immediately snorted at his reaction, “We didn’t die from our injuries, you’re very disappointed?”

Fan Yuan didn’t want to respond to Feng Ze, so he acted as if he didn’t hear anything.

Lei Siye turned back and sprawled over his seat, smoothing his hand over the stray hair strands that had fallen over Fan Yuan’s forehead. He said seriously, “If you want my life, I can give it to you at any moment. But next time, don’t frighten me so much. You suddenly fainted, I was so scared my soul left my body.”

Fan Yuan noticed that the corners of Lei Siye’s eyes were littered with blue-black bruises, but he didn’t give the guy any face as he smiled, “Lei Siye, to think you would lose to them in a fight. Must be thanks to your big build — it’s nice to see, but bad for practical use.”

Seeing his smirk, Lei Siye’s heart was so enticed that it felt itchy. He really wanted to hold the boy in his arms and give him his love. His voice was hoa.r.s.e, “It was two versus one. They knocked me down and had another round amongst themselves. An unequal contest brings no honor to the victor.”

Fan Yuan said, “You could have pretended to be defeated at first, waited for them to fight till they were exhausted, and then gotten up to finish them off together.”

Feng Ze: “……”

Han Lang: “……”

Lei Siye: “……”
