Don't Be a Love-Struck Fool

[From Chapter 26, version dated the 21st. If you've read it, please don't buy it. Sending love]

W Xinghang has recently been hearing all sorts of inexplicable voices.

Those voices always agree on one thing: before he's even done anything, they conclude, “We knew it! Wu Xinghang is madly in love with him!”

Wu Xinghang: ???

But as someone who enjoys a good show, he figures there's no harm in playing along.

World One:

Wu Xinghang looks at his childhood friend collapsed in the arms of the newcomer, and those voices appear again.

[Hahaha, Wu Xinghang must be dying of jealousy. That's what you get for not waiting for Baibai to finish class yesterday.]

[Wu Xinghang clenched his fists! He's frowning! He really loves Baibai so much!]

[Aah, hubby is so gorgeous. That mutt Wu doesn't deserve him.]

Wu Xinghang looks down at the fidget toy in his hand: ???

Besides, he was frowning because he'd run into that newcomer a few days ago after spilling oil on his clothes, and the guy still hadn't paid him back.

Wu Xinghang smiles. Putting the facts aside, I really do love him so much.

Though the man beside him isn't bad either. No one said I could only love one person.

World Two:

Wu Xinghang and Shang Luo are in a business marriage. They agree to get along harmoniously after the wedding and sign a two-year contract.

But as soon as they've signed it, those voices appear.

[He signed so readily now. Just wait, he'll be on his knees just as fast.]

[Anyway, our Luo Luo definitely won't be the one falling for him.]

[I can already picture Wu Xinghang on his knees, begging his wife to come back.]

Wu Xinghang: …

Six months after the contract takes effect, Wu Xinghang falls for Shang Luo's older brother.

(The protagonist only gets together with the older brother after breaking off his engagement with Shang Luo.))

PS:

One-on-one pairing. The gong loses his memories in every world.

The pairing stays together, with mutual devotion. Everyone else is just a supporting character.

Coming soon: "Why Hasn't the Villain Turned Evil Yet?" If you're interested, feel free to check it out.

Ji Zhuofei wakes up as the villain's sidekick.

Not the kind where you hand him a knife when he kills someone or fetch firewood while he sets the place on fire.

More like, he eats pickles while you drink plain broth; if he's hungry, you're hungry too; if he gets beaten, you get beaten right along with him: a childhood of hardship.

Ji Zhuofei's life is miserable, and he decides this can't go on.

So he chooses to follow the plot and raise the young villain into the ultimate big boss, making it easier for him to cling to his coattails.

But things don't quite go according to plan.

Even after learning that he'd been abandoned as a child, betrayed by his companions, and finally cast out by his sect on charges of treason, the villain still doesn't turn evil.

Exhausted, Ji Zhuofei can't help silently asking Heaven: Why the hell hasn't the villain turned evil yet?

Heaven doesn't hear him, but the villain does.

Liu Zhequan looks at him with a smile. “You're so good to me. Isn't it because you want to stop me from turning evil?”

How am I good to you?

If you mean that I save all the resources for you and always encourage and comfort you, that's just an early investment so I can live off you later.

And as for sharing a bed?

That's enough. Don't say another word. Shut up.

*

Before he turned ten, Liu Zhequan lived a life worse than a dog's. Then he met someone his own age, and things started getting better.

Ji Zhuofei will never know how afraid Liu Zhequan was of losing him during those days when he was constantly uneasy, couldn't sleep at night, and could only stare at Ji Zhuofei until dawn.

But all that fear vanished in an instant when he heard Ji Zhuofei's inner thoughts.

He asked Ji Zhuofei, “Why are you so good to me?”

Aloud, Ji Zhuofei answered, “Of course it's so you'll grow strong enough to protect me.”

But inwardly, he thought, He's so little. I was afraid he'd starve to death, and seeing him scared out of his wits every day, how could I leave him behind?

So Ji Zhuofei knows about Liu Zhequan's insecurities. He just doesn't know how to reassure him, so all he can do is help Liu Zhequan become strong: strong enough that no one dares bully him, strong enough that those fears can no longer trouble him.
