Chapter 6: After Becoming the CEO’s Sickly White Moonlight 6
The origins of the feud between Liu Feiyu and Qu Shenyi could be traced back ten years in the original plot’s records. At that time, Qu Shenyi was still a high school student, while Liu Feiyu was already in his twenties, right at the peak of his wild partying phase.
Men are boys until death, always preferring the young and tender. Liu Feiyu fell for Qu Shenyi at first sight and pursued him madly, sending gifts left and right, completely acting like a peacock flaunting its tail.
Of course, in his twenties, Liu Feiyu was ultimately young and arrogant. While pursuing Qu Shenyi, he was also flirting with all sorts of other lovers. While rolling in the sheets with a certain sweetheart, he didn’t forget to make a bet with his buddies on when he’d finally be able to sleep with Qu Shenyi.
Who knew, not long after flaunting his tail, Qu Shenyi would pluck all his feathers out.
Liu Feiyu’s sweetheart turned around and told Qu Shenyi everything. Upon finding out, Qu Shenyi went to the bar Liu Feiyu frequented and smashed a beer bottle over his head until he bled. Then, he shoved the half-broken bottle right at Liu Feiyu’s lower half, nearly leaving him capable of only being a Bottom.
Liu Feiyu was so angry his face and neck turned red, but he couldn’t do anything to this young master even though he wanted to cause trouble. Later, as Qu Shenyi grew older, whenever he ran into Liu Feiyu, he would often anger him with sarcastic remarks. He claimed to have restrained his youthful frivolity, but in reality, he was just oozing worse poison.
But Pei Yu truly didn’t expect Qu Shenyi, this villain… to be this ridiculously flirtatious.
It was really impossible to connect him with the crazy psychopath from the later stages of the original text.
Qu Shenyi propped up his chin, feeling the gaze on his body. He turned his head and met Pei Yu’s eyes.
Qu Shenyi rested his fingertips against his lips, tapping lightly as he spoke, and smiled: “What’s wrong, Beauty? Looking at how handsome I am?”
“…” So full of himself.
Pei Yu: “Could it be that President Qu’s alternate name is Wei Jie, and people aren’t even allowed to look?”
Pei Yu lowered his gaze, his expression unchanging.
His features were delicate and exquisite, yet his aura was freezing cold. When he was expressionless, the corners of his lips turned downwards, making him look as sharp and intimidating as an unsheathed sword.
Qu Shenyi froze for a moment, then laughed: “How come the Second Young Master Pei is even scolding people?”
Hearing this, Pei Yu revealed an expression of incomprehension: “I was clearly praising President Qu for his outstanding appearance, rivaling that of Wei Jie. How does that count as scolding someone?”
Qu Shenyi: “…” Hiss.
He didn’t scold him, but it was no different from being scolded by others.
“Little Yu, you and… President Qu know each other?”
Seeing the two talking, Pei Liang hesitated for a while before finally speaking up.
Pei Liang’s heart was thumping wildly. This shouldn’t be. How did Pei Yu, who was abroad, get to know Qu Shenyi?
Pei Yu shook his head and said: “We just met.”
Qu Shenyi wasn’t nearly as polite. He leaned lazily against the back of the sofa and shot Pei Liang a look reserved for idiots.
“Is there a hole in your brain? If I knew him, would I have let the beauty eat a Pocky stick with a dumbass like Liu Feiyu? As if he’s worthy.”
Pei Liang: “…”
Liu Feiyu: “…”
Liu Feiyu didn’t expect to be cursed out without even chiming in. His face turned green with anger, and he said through gritted teeth: “President Qu, it was just Little Yu losing a game.”
“Oh,” Qu Shenyi fiddled with his hands, too lazy to even spare Liu Feiyu a glance, and scoffed with a laugh: “I guessed, he isn’t blind after all.”
Liu Feiyu: “…” Who are you calling ugly!
Seeing the situation turning sour, Pei Liang rolled his eyes, raised his voice, and shouted: “Playing this is boring, let’s go play 8-ball.”
“I think that works. President Qu, what do you think?”
Liu Feiyu straightened his suit, stood upright properly, and lowered his eyes to look at Qu Shenyi.
Sitting to the side, Pei Yu watched the mockery in Liu Feiyu’s eyes and squeezed his fingers without batting an eyelid.
When Liu Feiyu was talking to him earlier, he had mentioned that while studying abroad, he often played 8-ball pool with foreigners. It seemed this was the activity planned after Truth or Dare.
The original owner actually liked this activity. Because of his poor health, he couldn’t do strenuous sports, so this was suitable for him. If it had been the original owner facing Liu Feiyu, he would have probably thought he had met a soulmate and ended up being scammed until he didn’t even have his underwear left.
When a person whose temper, disposition, hobbies, and aura all perfectly match your ideal type appears, it’s very likely not Mr. Right sent by heaven, but a trap laid by a hunter, just waiting for you to dive in.
Liu Feiyu looked at Qu Shenyi with exceptional confidence. He was confident in his billiards skills. At the very least, dealing with Qu Shenyi wouldn’t be a problem.
“Sure, but…”
Qu Shenyi’s gaze suddenly turned cold, his playful expression appearing somewhat chilling in the dimly lit private room.
Qu Shenyi: “I want Bishui Yifang from your company.”
Liu Feiyu’s face turned completely green upon hearing this: “…Qu Shenyi! Don’t open your mouth so wide like a lion.”
Bishui Yifang was the leading enterprise under Liu Feiyu’s company, and its revenue was evident to all.
Just a game of 8-ball, and he was asking for ten thousand taels of gold.
Liu Feiyu felt Qu Shenyi was practically crazy.
“What? Is President Liu too scared?”
“Play, why wouldn’t we play? It’s just that if President Qu loses, you have to show something for it, right?”
“En… 10% of the shares in my company, what does President Liu think?”
Qu Shenyi reverted to his smiling demeanor. Liu Feiyu was so struck by this massive gift that he directly froze in place.
Crazy? He must be crazy.
Standing to the side, Pei Liang looked at Qu Shenyi and then at Liu Feiyu, a layer of cold sweat stiffening his back.
These two were true young masters and true overbearing CEOs. Which second-generation heir bets this big on a game of 8-ball? Losing a few million or ten million was already the absolute limit.
They really dared to play. If he acted this crazy, his dad would absolutely kick him into the sea to feed the fishes.
“Alright, President Qu better not go back on his word.”
“I won’t.”
Qu Shenyi stood up, stretched his limbs a bit, and walked toward the pool table. Liu Feiyu also followed behind him.
Pei Liang and his group of shady friends looked at each other and followed suit.
Pei Yu… Pei Yu coughed twice and continued to play his role as the frail little white lotus.
System: […]
You have a body full of muscles when you take off your clothes, what the hell are you whining for.
Pei Yu picked a spot that was neither too far nor too close to the pool table, offering a good view to observe the match.
Qu Shenyi gripped the pool cue tightly with one hand, using the other to button up his open shirt.
He weighed the cue in his hands, leaned his body forward, and pressed his waist down into an arc. The angle he formed made the ratio of his waist to hips look absolutely perfect.
The silver necklace around his neck swayed with his movements. Qu Shenyi frowned slightly and clamped the necklace between his lips.
His rose-colored lips contrasting with the silver necklace created an extremely bright and beautiful visual impact. As if sensing Pei Yu’s scrutiny, Qu Shenyi curled the corner of his lips, his gorgeous eyes flaunting a wicked charm.
Pei Yu clicked his tongue, mentally classifying Qu Shenyi in the same category as a vixen.
Thud—
A ball went into the pocket. Qu Shenyi ran a hand through his hair and signaled Liu Feiyu to continue.
Watching Qu Shenyi’s movements, Liu Feiyu’s expression had already gained a touch of solemnity.
Qu Shenyi…
His skills were actually quite good.
His 8-ball skills were honed while playing with shady friends abroad; he rarely had a rival domestically.
Liu Feiyu gripped the cue tightly, and it took a long time before he moved.
The crisp sounds of the balls echoed as the two went back and forth. With every turn, Liu Feiyu’s expression worsened, right until Qu Shenyi took his final shot.
Qu Shenyi took the necklace from his mouth with his hand, looked at Liu Feiyu with a smile, and said: “Thank you, President Liu, for giving me Bishui Yifang.”
“…”
With a gloomy face, Liu Feiyu threw the pool cue back, pushed away the people next to him, and strode out of the private room in large steps.
Right before stepping out the door, he turned his head to glance in Pei Yu’s direction, and that glance perfectly caught Pei Yu’s expression.
The young man whose eyes had been crystal clear from the start was currently watching his retreating back with an extremely calm gaze. As if not expecting Liu Feiyu to turn his head, a smile slowly spread across Pei Yu’s face.
Liu Feiyu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, instantly feeling an indescribable sense of terror.
That didn’t look like a look and smile meant for a person; rather, it was the calmness of looking at a dead object.
By the time Liu Feiyu wanted to look closer at that gaze, Pei Yu was back to his previous demeanor, waving to bid him farewell—just the appearance of an innocent, young youth.
Just as Pei Yu finished keeping up his persona for Liu Feiyu, a source of heat pressed against his back, followed by a man’s voice lingering by his ear, the tone like a hook.
“Beauty, you haven’t actually taken a fancy to Liu Feiyu, have you?”
Qu Shenyi’s voice sounded surprised.
Pei Yu: “…”
He swatted Qu Shenyi’s hand away and said: “Why is President Qu concerned about this?”
Qu Shenyi shrugged: “I’m just afraid you really went blind.”
He still carried the heat from his recent physical activity, his fair skin flushed red, and a bit of pink tinting his face. When he smiled, revealing his small white teeth, he looked completely harmless to humans and animals.
Pei Yu watched the original novel’s grand villain playing innocent right in front of him… and suddenly felt his own acting skills were being provoked.
Pei Yu covered his lips and coughed a few times, his face turning pale as he said: “It’s getting late today, I will take my leave first.”
Qu Shenyi was stunned. He hadn’t expected Pei Yu to start acting right then and there, and asked in confusion: “Leaving just like that?”
“What else? President Qu must be quite busy tonight too, right.”
Pei Yu shot Qu Shenyi a sideways glance. That look gave Qu Shenyi the feeling that he had been completely seen through.
It wasn’t until Pei Yu left the private room that Qu Shenyi snapped back to his senses.
He glanced at the remaining people in the room who were continuing to play music and dance, a flash of disgust quickly passing through his eyes, and he followed suit and walked out.
At first, seeing Pei Yu leave, Pei Liang considered stopping him. But thinking it over, since Liu Feiyu had already left, keeping Pei Yu would only add to his own frustration without being of any use.
It was only after seeing Qu Shenyi leave that Pei Liang thoroughly put his heart back in his stomach.
He hooked an arm around the person next to him and questioned in a poor tone: “Why did Qu Shenyi come here?”
“Ah? I don’t know. Qu Shenyi usually never comes to our group’s gatherings.” The lackey was also utterly confused.
Their group partied wild, and while Qu Shenyi was a cynical playboy, he was never seen playing with men, nor did he usually hang out with them.
Why did he suddenly show up today? They were also confused.
Pei Liang thought about it: “Could it be because of Liu Feiyu?”
The lackey agreed: “That’s possible! Young Master Pei, think about it, those two have never gotten along.”
Pei Liang: “…” But this was too much of a coincidence. How did Qu Shenyi manage to show up exactly today?
Speaking of which, what he had prepared for Pei Yu… couldn’t completely be considered a failure, right?
After all, one look at Liu Feiyu’s demeanor showed he had set his sights on Pei Yu.
Thinking of this, Pei Liang felt much more comfortable in his heart.
“A bunch of idiots.”
Qu Shenyi rubbed his hands together, sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed to rest.
Cui Feixu was amused by him and burst out laughing with a pfft, then couldn’t help but slap the steering wheel and laugh out loud.
Qu Shenyi lifted his eyelids and said: “Did you die from laughing?”
“Isn’t it funny? You snatched Liu the Show-off’s Bishui Yifang with just a game of 8-ball. That’s Bishui Yifang, with a daily cash flow and net profit in the hundreds of millions.”
Cui Feixu laughed until tears came out, not forgetting to give Qu Shenyi a thumbs up, and sighed: “I thought you were a fox, but I didn’t expect you to be a true Daji.”
“Get lost.”
Qu Shenyi opened his previously closed eyes, a cold light within them, and said: “Don’t you find it strange? How did our people suddenly know Liu Feiyu would be attending such an event today?”
“Is it strange?”
Cui Feixu rubbed his chin and said: “Doesn’t he frequently visit these kinds of places?”
“It’s too much of a coincidence. We’ve always wanted a piece of Liu Feiyu’s cake but could never get it, so how were we able to eat it today?”
“Ah?”
“Someone passed me a message today. Not only did I know exactly who was in that private room, I even knew who the central figure of the event was. Even the timing of my entrance was calculated perfectly, enough to stimulate Liu Feiyu into losing his mind and playing such a game with me.”
Cui Feixu: “…Holy shit.”
He turned his head to look at Qu Shenyi, saying in shock: “Who is so badass? To know about your grudge with Liu the Show-off.”
“The one Jiang Chen yearns for day and night.”
“…Xu Zaizai? That’s impossible, right? Does that kid even have those kinds of brains?”
Qu Shenyi breathed a breath of warm air onto the car window and slowly wrote two words with his finger.
—Pei Yu.
