Chapter 22: Good Brothers Locked In — A Threesome?! Outrageous! Part 1
Lu Xunye stood to the side, looking first at this one, then tilting his head to look at that one.
Finally, he couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild: What is the relationship between these two? Could it be that the person who bit Shen Yunqian’s neck back then was this guy?
He asked the system: 【Do they know each other? What role does this person play in the book?】
System: 【Character plot loading…】
Regarding the system’s previous statement that the love points needed to reach 20,000 to upgrade.
Lu Xunye felt a bit guilty: 【Didn’t you already apply for partial permissions from your leader? Why is loading so slow every time?】
But it wasn’t his fault, okay? Who asked this Protagonist Shou to be so difficult?
Lu Xunye’s gaze fell on the two hands that hadn’t let go yet: Still not letting go? Not afraid of sweating?
Just as he finished complaining in his heart, the clasped hands opposite him showed signs of loosening.
The system, which was in a loading standby state, suddenly sounded notifications in succession: 【Love Points +4500, Current Love Points: 7500】
【Character: Su Zhuo, Target character not found】
Lu Xunye’s eyes widened. Seeing the two hands about to separate, he hurriedly spoke to stop them: “Wait!”
Shen Yunqian and the man looked at him in confusion. Lu Xunye quickly pulled up both their hands and stacked them together again: “You two, lock in.”
Shen Yunqian: “…”
The man: “…”
Lu Xunye looked at the two with a beaming smile, looking kind no matter how you looked at it, while calculating the points about to be in hand.
His two hands pressed down on the two hands between his palms like a sandwich cookie, increasing the force to clasp their hands tightly together.
Shen Yunqian tried to withdraw his hand but couldn’t, a gloomy mood displayed on his face: “Lu Xunye, let go.”
Right now, four hands were stacked like a pyramid, looking ridiculous. Shen Yunqian and the man looked at each other, dislike flashing in both their eyes, and they looked away simultaneously.
Lu Xunye argued clumsily: “What’s wrong with good friends holding hands?”
The man was amused: “Mr. Lu, do you know who I am?”
“However…”
His eyes were weirdly ambiguous, making Lu Xunye’s scalp tingle.
Shen Yunqian interrupted him: “Su Zhuo, you’re crossing the line.”
“…” Su Zhuo laughed in exasperation. “Now that’s biased. Do you want to see who is crossing the line right now?”
Qin Zhuoyu popped up from somewhere, his disgust palpable: “The three of you play pretty wild.”
Lu Xunye sensed the subtle looks from the people around him, took a deep breath, and put on a generous look: “If you want to hold hands, you can come over too.”
Qin Zhuoyu’s fair face turned red at a visible speed: “…Sick.”
Lu Xunye watched his retreating figure, tripping over himself in panic, and said disdainfully: “Tch.”
Shen Yunqian lifted his eyelids and looked straight at Lu Xunye: “Let go.”
【Love Points -5500, Current Love Points: 2000】
Lu Xunye was about to shake his head, but after hearing the notification sound, the refusal spun around spinelessly in his mouth: “N-Not letting go is impossible.”
Moments later, after Shen Yunqian wiped his hands with a wet wipe, he saw Lu Xunye still like that, squatting hopelessly, arms hugging the table leg as if he had lost all hope of living.
A fitting conjecture floated in his mind: Besides that aspect, does he also have mental problems?
The system, this robotic little person, kept circling above Lu Xunye’s head to comfort him: 【Host, don’t be discouraged! We still have chances, we can earn it all back in the future!】
Lu Xunye let go of the table leg, sighed, and turned sideways for some peace: “You’re making me dizzy.”
The system flew over aggrievedly and lay on his head.
“Hiss.” Lu Xunye closed his eyes. “Headache.”
【…】 The system’s body floated up again, its round spherical hands on its hips, complaining with dissatisfaction, 【Host, you are really excessive.】
Lu Xunye ignored it, feeling stifled and brooding: If it doesn’t increase, fine, but why does it decrease? Can’t stab a heart like this.
“Everyone, please continue to enjoy yourselves. Dihua Hotel will bear all the shock and losses everyone suffered just now.”
As Su Zhuo spoke, he looked back at Shen Yunqian, “In addition, all expenses for everyone in this hotel within one year will be waived as compensation, unlimited number of people and times. Is that okay?”
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped. They hadn’t really been affected, and had even watched with the mindset of enjoying a show.
Dihua Hotel was a place rich people frequented. The annual net turnover was tens of billions. This move would cost at least half of that.
“President Su is generous.”
Someone took the lead in shouting, and the young people also found it interesting, clapping and cheering. Even the elders looked at Su Zhuo with appreciation.
Su Zhuo raised an eyebrow: “Is Young Master Shen not satisfied?”
Shen Yunqian glanced at him without emotion: “President Su has money, what does it have to do with me?”
Su Zhuo: “…”
The banquet hall doors opened from the outside once again.
The system looked down at the motionless Lu Xunye, looked up at the slowly opening door, looked down, looked up, repeated a few times, and in desperation headbutted Lu Xunye’s forehead.
With a “thud”, forehead against back of the head, a pincer attack from front and back. Lu Xunye’s forehead turned pink as he rubbed his head, which had been numbed by hitting the table leg.
The system looked at the person staring at it resentfully and chose to play blind: 【Host! Time to start the plot!】
【Current “Amazing the World with a Single Feat” mission completion: 80%】
【Although points were deducted, there is still life span! If the mission isn’t completed, the Host will really be obliterated. Don’t humans say ‘As long as the green hills remain, there’s no fear of running out of firewood’?】
Lu Xunye thought about it; that was true. He coughed and stood up. Unexpectedly, his vision went black, his legs went soft, and he almost couldn’t stand.
“!”
Abnormal, absolutely abnormal!
Is he weak?!
Once he recovered from the discomfort, he looked up at the newcomer.
At the door, Si Jinyan carefully held Jian Luoqing’s arms.
The butler, arriving late and out of breath, didn’t dare look at Si Jinyan’s cold and severe face: “Sorry, President Si, I don’t know how Young Master Jian ran out.”
The assistant at the side put a finger to his lips, telling him to shut up, then waved his hand to signal him to leave.
Si Jinyan automatically ignored them. His worried brow and tender gaze fell inch by inch on the haggard-looking young man in front of him: “Are you okay?”
Bleagh… Lu Xunye held back a dry heave, subconsciously looking for Shen Yunqian in the crowd.
“What are you looking for?”
Suddenly, a voice came from behind his ear. Lu Xunye’s heart skipped a beat. Turning his head, Shen Yunqian’s magnified handsome face came into view. He clutched his chest: “Damn, you’re going to scare me to death.”
“Really?” Shen Yunqian lowered his eyes, looking at his hand placed on his left chest. “But you’re covering the wrong side.”
Lu Xunye froze. Following his words, he felt around blindly until he found the correct position, feeling the intense beating under a thin layer of skin and flesh.
After reacting, he felt a bit awkward but pretended to be calm: “…Oh.”
On the other side.
When Si Jinyan saw the scrapes on Jian Luoqing’s palms and face, his heart stung. He guessed immediately that he had sneaked out avoiding surveillance and servants.
“Why did you run out? Do you know how worried I was when you sneaked out last time and I saw you injured?”
Jian Luoqing pursed his lips, avoiding his aggressive gaze. His words were merciless: “If you hadn’t locked me up, I wouldn’t have gotten hurt.”
Si Jinyan: “You need rest. The outside world is dangerous; I’m doing this for your own good.”
Jian Luoqing sneered: “For my own good means cutting off all contact with my relatives and friends, locking me up like a canary in a cage you meticulously built, hoping for the stars and moon, waiting for your pity when you’re in the mood to visit?”
“Yes, my background isn’t as good as yours. I saved you back then, but it wasn’t for a reward now.”
Emotional, Jian Luoqing coughed until his face was pale. He brushed away Si Jinyan’s hand trying to support him and continued: “Si Jinyan, you’ve underestimated me.”
At this moment, he looked like a colorful butterfly with broken wings, falling into the abyss, poignant yet stubborn.
Si Jinyan’s eyes flickered with inexplicable emotions: “Okay, my fault. Don’t be angry.”
“Still haven’t recognized your own heart?” Jian Luoqing looked up and stared fixedly at the man taller than him. “Si Jinyan, the person you like isn’t me.”
“I told you long ago not to do things you’ll regret. Once the cause of harm is planted, everything becomes irreversible.”
Si Jinyan: “I never regret.”
