As the Minor Gay Love Rival in Het Novels

Chapter 5.6

Chapter 5.6

Fan Yuan was so struck by Yan Rui’s casual words that his head felt dizzy. The plot hadn’t started yet, and the female lead hadn’t appeared either, but the male lead became bent so inexplicably?!

He quickly blurted out, “Xiao Wu, it has nothing to do with me this time!”

Xiao Wu, “Ding..........”

Yan Rui’s mouth curved up involuntarily. His fingers were still wound in Fan Yuan’s slightly damp hair, and when he spoke, his tone was rather regretful, “Yes, it has nothing to do with you this time, but the result is up to you.”

Fan Yuan furrowed his brows and pried Yan Rui’s claws away, “What do you mean?”

Yan Rui said, “You should know this, after each world’s plot is completed, it will return back to zero and restart. It’s an infinite cycle.”

Seeing Fan Yuan nod, he continued, “After the restart of this world, two bugs emerged at the same time. The first is Shi Yuan. His data was lost, so you came to this world to fill his position and finish the plot for him. The second bug is Yuan Song. His data did not reset to zero, yet he directly went ahead to jump into the plot. Thus, he got rid of the plot’s influence and realized that the person he likes isn’t the female lead, but the supporting male lead Shi Yuan. ”

Fan Yuan was momentarily stunned into silence before replying shakily, “The data did not reset to zero, that is to say, the memory of the last reincarnation is still preserved.... Isn’t this the same as.........”

“Rebirth.” Yan Rui calmly helped him finish his sentence.

“No, no, if he’s been reborn, then he must know the truth behind his accident. It would have been easy to avoid it then. Why did he still get hurt?!”

Yan Rui said, “It’s true, but the starting point of this world is the moment when Yuan Song had the accident.”

The starting point was the moment when each story began. For example, in the world where Fan Yuan met Gao Yu, although Fan Yuan had started to act as the original host when the boy was still a child, the starting point was when the female lead first met Gao Yu in university.

After the conclusion of the story, the second cycle would also restart from this plot point.

So even if Yuan Song knew that he was about to encounter misfortune, he had no time to avoid it. In the end, he could only blame the author for being too much of a slag. The opening chapter directly detailed the breathtaking moment of the accident, preventing the protagonist from avoiding the tragedy even after his rebirth.

Fan Yuan frowned for a moment, then suddenly he grinned and narrowed his eyes, “Main God daren, it’s probably not that hard to reset a bunch of disordered data back to zero with your ability ba. Just erase Yuan Song’s memory of his previous life and then everything will be fine!”

Every time Yan Rui saw Fan Yuan don an evil smirk, his heart felt an unbearable itch. He cupped Fan Yuan’s face and sucked heavily on his lips. When it came to Yan Rui, Fan Yuan was naturally receptive to his affections. He waited until the man had gotten his fill of kisses before asking the same thing again, but Yan Rui shook his head.

“I can only help by erasing all his data so that he can return to his original state, that is, the state of a newborn baby. I can’t retain his memory of this life while only eliminating the last reincarnation.”

Fan Yuan laid down on the bed in exhaustion and cried piteously, “My luck is just too bad. It took so much for you to not cause me any trouble anymore, but now the male lead has messed up everything again. Can’t I just complete a mission without any worries?!”

Yan Rui laid down beside him and stared at the side of his face while he spoke, “That’s why, you shouldn’t have stopped me from killing him today.”

Fan Yuan turned his face over and gave him a look. He said angrily, “You want to wipe out other people over nothing, aren’t you as a Main God acting too casual?! You guys can even make mistakes in ensuring the data resets. Do you people in charge really do your jobs properly?! “

Yan Rui wasn’t angry at being vented on. He echoed Fan Yuan like a loyal puppy, “Wait till I go back one of these days, I’ll teach them a proper lesson.”

Fan Yuan was still unhappy, continuing angrily, “Yuan Song too. What is he trying to play at by being so unrestrained? Shi Yuan has already disappeared. So what if he has thought things through now? Once you let some people slip away, that means you have missed them. There’s no second chance.”

Yan Rui’s heart suddenly ached. He had also let the boy in front of him slip away before. Fortunately, he wasn’t a string of data that could disappear at any time, but an immortal soul, which gave Yan Rui the chance to remedy the situation. It was just that the feeling of pain in his heart from that time at the beginning had always lingered in his heart even till now.

Fan Yuan didn’t know what the other was thinking of that caused him to suddenly stop. He was silent for a moment, before he hesitated and said, “What I said just now wasn’t completely right. The rules can’t be defied, so the people in the plot have no other way but to accept fate, so I can’t completely blame Yuan Song. I just lost my head and uttered nonsense..........”

He didn’t want to mention certain things, so he could only explain clumsily and try to make Yan Rui understand his meaning.

Yan Rui’s dark eyes gazed straight at him. The only feeling he felt was that his heart was slowly being wrapped in flames, feeling warm to the point of feeling burned. This feeling was strange, yet unexpectedly nostalgic.

He stretched out his arm and scooped a certain little fellow who was still going on and on into his arms. He placed his chin on top of his head and sighed, “You can blame me, hate me, but just don’t let me lose you again.”

Fan Yuan obediently leaned on his chest and did not answer, simply shutting his eyes slowly.

He didn’t tell Yan Rui this, but in that world, the luckiest and most grateful thing for him was that he met Gao Yu.

Though the memory of that cold and resolute back had given rise to his inner demons, but from the beginning to the end, he could never blame him, let alone hate him.

It was just that he was a man. Such irrational words couldn’t be frankly announced after all. Just wait more ba, just wait a little more.......

Yan Rui saw that he had inadvertently fallen into a deep sleep, and his eyebrows became more gentle. He pulled up a quilt to cover Fan Yuan, then got out of bed and switched off the light.

???

The next morning, Fan Yuan sat at the dining table idly while flipping through the news. He flipped through “Strange Occurrences”, “Society’s Focus”, and even searched for supernatural events. Though he didn’t know what kind of magic tricks Yan Rui pulled last night, it was quite shocking that not a single thing was seen, one really had to take their hat off to him.

When Yan Rui served up breakfast, his face once again went ?. Even the milk cups were a lovers set. This guy was really......considerate right down to the most trivial detail!

Last night, he was so tired that he was bathed directly by Yan Rui and tucked into the bed. Naturally, he didn’t notice the changes within his apartment. This morning, he got the fright of his life.

All the appliances in the house had been changed and replaced with lovers’ items. Toothbrushes, cups and towels need not be mentioned. Pajamas, slippers and pillows were still understandable, but even the dishes, chopsticks and spoons were in couple pairs? You bastard, did ya ever think about what to do if a guest came over?!

He picked up the glass of milk and took a big sip with a loud ‘gulp, gulp’ while restraining the impulse to frown. What was up with this setting of ‘a glass of milk a day’? Why did the original host have such a strange habit!

Yan Rui sat beside him and took a shallow sip of milk, then stretched out the tip of his tongue and ran it over his lower lip. Fan Yuan was so shocked that his jaw was about to drop. This was clearly the actions that Yan Rui had done when he was working his mouth on him last night. Fan Yuan was both ashamed and embarrassed. He looked at the pure white milk in his cup again and decided that he couldn’t drink it anymore.

Yan Rui chuckled and pulled out a tissue, helping Fan Yuan wipe his lips carefully, “Drink more milk so you can grow taller.”

Fan Yuan was extremely embarrassed. He quickly swallowed a few mouthfuls of his breakfast and left the house in a hurry.

When he got into the car, he turned things over in his mind and felt that he was always led by the nose. In the end, he was inexperienced. It seemed that he needed to brush up on a lot of relevant knowledge urgently.

When he made up his mind, he no longer felt confused. What he should worry about now was how to deal with Yuan Song.

He was using the original host’s shell. Morally speaking, he should stay away from the man the original host liked. It was better to completely dispel any hopes. But the reality was that he still needed to complete his mission. Instead of hiding, he should try his best to get close to the male lead and let him come to think of Shi Yuan as a big brother who understood his heart. He could not let Yuan Song find out that Shi Yuan had secretly fallen in love with him yet.

Damn it, wasn’t this a bit too difficult! Please spare me ah!

Fan Yuan said to Xiao Wu with his heart dead like ashes, “Perhaps I should cultivate my character.”

Xiao Wu was silent for a long time, before letting out a ‘Ding’, “Yesterday, without my consent, Master threw me into the little black room.”

Fan Yuan, “.............” You’re still upset over this!!

“Ding, after analysing the whole plot, this system found that the original host never confessed to the male lead face to face. That is to say, although the male lead realized that Shi Yuan liked him very much, he was only speculating based on his gut feeling, and there was no real evidence. Master wants to act out a secret love. As long as the role is portrayed properly, Master can make the male lead think that it is him who’s secretly in love with the original host from the beginning to the end, while the original host simply sympathizes with him and appreciates him, but has no feelings for him.”

Fan Yuan ran through Xiao Wu’s words carefully and felt that they were reasonable. Anyway, only Yuan Cheng knew that the original host secretly loved the male lead. Now that Yuan Cheng had been replaced by Yan Rui, it was a given that the man would not disclose this fact. So Fan Yuan only needed to do a good job of playing an understanding brother and the part about his secret love could be slightly restrained. It shouldn’t be a problem to change things up a little.

“Xiao Wu, you’re getting better and better at this ah.”

After coming back from the cultivation plane, Xiao Wu’s performance seemed to have improved significantly. In many aspects, it was indeed becoming more and more intelligent, cough, especially in the aspect of its temper.

“Ding, may Master please apologize to Xiao Wu first.”

“Hey, hey, do you want to be so petty? What are we? Friends for thousands of years, no?”

“............”

“Fine, I promise I’ll tell you in advance next time. That should be okay, right?”

“Ding, that’s what Master said last time. I hope you keep to your word this time.”

Fan Yuan’s mouth twitched, was he that untrustworthy? It was extremely upsetting that even Xiao Wu, who had been with him for so long, didn’t trust him.

After changing into his work clothes, Fan Yuan stared at his long white coat and smelled the scent of disinfectant in the air. For a while, he felt a little emotional.

In the actual world, he had spent a long time in the hospital. During that time, he met a very beautiful doctor-jiejie.

She was the gentlest and kindest woman he had ever seen. The maternal love he had lacked ever since he was a child was almost all obtained from this female stranger. Until now, he still clearly remembered that the woman was always carrying the faint fragrance of cape jasmine, instantly dispersing the haze of illness and sprinkling sunshine into his heart.

He thought at that time, if there was an angel in the world, it must have the same appearance as her.

But later on, later on.........what happened later on?

Fan Yuan frowned slightly, but he still couldn’t remember. His memory was completely fragmented following his 17th birthday. The last memory he could recall was that before the doctor-jiejie left the ward, she turned around and showed him a bright smile.

“Xiao Yuan, tomorrow is your birthday. Jiejie wants to give you a surprise.”

Unconsciously, he had walked to the window. His office was on the sixth floor, and couldn’t be considered very high up or very low down. From this point of view, one could see the foliage all around the hospital.

A female nurse was holding onto a rather tall boy while encouraging him to walk forward. The female nurse’s fuzzy face gradually became clear. It was a beautiful and gentle face, and even her voice was soft and refreshing.

“Xiao Yuan, come on, let’s take another step. Your wound has healed very well, but you have not overcome the psychological barrier. You need to believe in yourself!”

“But I’m afraid, Sister Yarou, can you hold onto me..........”

Sister Yarou, Sister Yarou, Dan Yarou.

The next chapter’s gonna miss Christmas day itself, so a Merry Christmas in advance to all you lovelies out there
