After Blocking My Arch-Nemesis, I Started Using Him as a Memo Pad

The neighboring novel, The Poor, Honest Beta Who Is Deceived and Coaxed Day and Night by a Dark, Unhinged Man, is now available. Click to read: The male mistress pursuer is so ambitious that he takes his younger brother's fiance's place, successfully playing both roles and winning him over. It's so good!!!

Here's the blurb for this novel:

[Outwardly aloof and upright, the pursuer has secretly loved the recipient for a long time. He goes crazy for him and descends from his pedestal, only to find that the other man is a total straight guy. He suppresses his dark, twisted, unhinged side while pretending to be harmless as he gets close to him.]

He Ziyi has disliked Pei Huai for a long time. Pei Huai buys the same shower gel as him and deliberately dresses to match. On top of that, whenever He Ziyi gets close to someone, he can always feel a burning gaze fixed on him from behind.

What a petty copycat!

But once they close his bedroom door at night, he still has to call the copycat "Big Brother."

Finally, one day, He Ziyi can't take it anymore. He blocks Pei Huai and vents his helpless fury in their chat.

"Do you really have to put cilantro in the soup? What, are you trying to make me puke to inherit my twenty-three exam papers?"

"Ever since you came to our house, I haven't had a single bowl of braised chicken rice. I've even forgotten what it tastes like!"

That very night, he hears a knock at the door. When he opens it, there's no one there, but a bowl of braised chicken rice sits on the floor.

?

He must be seeing things. The floor of his house has grown a bowl of rice.

After that bowl of braised chicken rice, whenever he sends a request to Pei Huai's chat, even though he's blocked, it somehow gets fulfilled in ways he could never have imagined.

One day, He Ziyi sits cross-legged on his bed, feeling that something is strange. He unblocks Pei Huai and sends him a message.

[Flowers Bloom in Prosperity]: My phone is being attacked for no reason.

[Copycat]: What's wrong, baby?

Both people on either side of the screen are stunned as soon as the message is sent.

He Ziyi: "Why is he calling me baby? Aren't we mortal enemies?"

Pei Huai: "He unblocked me? And the message went through?"

He Ziyi doesn't sleep that night. Instead, he climbs Mount Kongtong in the middle of the night. He's a straight guy, for goodness' sake!

Then one day, he comes across a video explaining that people who've been blocked can still see any messages their blocker sends in the chat, though they can't reply.

He Ziyi closes his eyes in despair. Why did he have to see this video only after sending so many incriminating messages without realizing it?

--

No one knows that these apparent enemies share a secret: whenever one of them loses a bet, he has to do whatever the other asks.

The first time He Ziyi loses, he has to be Pei Huai's sidekick for a week.

The second time Pei Huai loses, he has to lick He Ziyi's wound as requested.

The third time...

The fourth time...

Pei Huai corners He Ziyi against the wall. His usually aloof face is tinged with obsession, and his voice is soft but oppressive. "You still haven't done the punishment for losing the last bet."

He Ziyi's earlobes turn red enough to drip blood. In his mind, he calls Pei Huai a beast in gentleman's clothing, then grits his teeth and says, "Don't push your luck."

Pei Huai looks down at the person who's trying to sound tough despite being afraid. Unfazed, he steps closer until their breaths brush He Ziyi's neck.

He can feel He Ziyi shiver.

Pei Huai chuckles, his voice seductive. "Come on, sweetheart. You said you'd honor the bet."

He Ziyi nervously grips the hem of the skirt barely covering his butt and forces himself to sound bold. "Just this once. If you dare tell anyone, I'll kill you."

Pei Huai agrees in a husky voice, then sits in the chair behind him, legs spread, hands on the armrests. With an aggressive air and an unreadable expression, he watches his "prey" walk toward him one step at a time.

Afraid his skirt might ride up, He Ziyi walks slowly, rubbing his thighs together. He stops in front of Pei Huai, bends down a little, and leans in with youthful awkwardness, pressing a kiss mark onto Pei Huai's face.

His voice trembles. "Th-that should be enough, right...?"

[The seemingly timid, harmless, honest man is actually a beautiful, poisonous Beta who resents everyone equally (but is a total coward) x an Alpha who seems like a lofty flower but secretly covets his darling, a pervert playing both roles]

Duan Huaijing is a Beta who grew up under constant oppression. He has a biased mother, a sick father, a flirtatious younger brother, and a cheating fiance.

Some people pity him, thinking his honest, dull personality must be because of his family. But no one knows that he envies and resents everyone equally, and wishes every day that they would all just die.

Yet someone actually likes a man like him, and that person is his fiance's older brother, Xie Yun.

Duan Huaijing thinks: His younger brother is like that, so how could the older one be any good? Disgusting, disgusting, disgusting, disgusting, disgusting, disgusting, disgusting!

--

Xie Yun is an Alpha whom his family has raised as their heir since childhood. He's received a strict education and has a strong sense of morality.

When he learns that his younger brother has a fiance, he has no objections. His brother is a spoiled playboy, so it's good for him to have someone keeping him in check.

Until he meets Duan Huaijing.

His younger brother's fiance.

The other man is beautiful and speaks gently. When he cries, he looks like a small animal with no sense of security. He seems fragile but is strong inside. Though he resents everyone deeply, he still manages to act like a harmless little white flower.

Every detail of their interactions draws Xie Yun in.

His morals tell him to stop, but his feelings go too far. More than once, he wishes he were the one standing beside that Beta.

The more he tries to restrain himself, the less he can control the madness in his bones.

Later, he thinks: Since Grandpa said a son of the Xie family should marry Duan Huaijing, why can't it be me instead of my younger brother?

--

Duan Huaijing has had a certain contact pinned at the top of his phone for years.

He owes this person a lot of money, and by their agreement, he's forced to endure their physical advances and marking whenever they show up on Friday nights.

This person has also sent him many messages, such as:

[Baby's neck is so beautiful. It'd be even more perfect with a few more hickeys.]

[Want to bring your mother to the banquet? Be more willing tonight.]

[Baby, would you wear women's clothes?]

[Want to fuck you...]

Duan Huaijing wishes the person would just die already, but he can't bear to lose how readily they grant his every request. So he uses this person's help to get close to his fiance's older brother, then takes advantage of Xie Yun's feelings for him to rein in the pervert who's been pestering him.

He kills two birds with one stone. While "they" both think he's madly in love with "them," Duan Huaijing quietly goes to the airport and leaves this place of trouble behind.

He mocks himself for being a bird in a cage, but at last he's free.

Later, he hears that the famously cold and unfeeling chairman of the Xie Group in City A is searching for his missing wife.

As it happens, that wife is a Beta.

[Extra Scene:]

One day, the scumbag fiance changes his mind, decides Duan Huaijing is the one he wants after all, and goes to knock on his door to ask for another chance. But no one answers.

He assumes he's made Duan Huaijing angry by going too far before, so he spends a long time apologizing through the door.

What he doesn't know is that the person he's calling for is kissing his own older brother on the other side of the door.

His apology becomes fuel for the two men inside.

The poor Beta's slender nape is red and covered in bite marks. The cruel Alpha bites him urgently, wanting to cover him in his own pheromones. "Why can't I mark you..."

Duan Huaijing tilts his head back, his voice broken as he tries to bring the other man back to his senses. "Your younger brother is still outside."

Xie Yun pauses, a dark look flashing in his eyes. His movements brim with suffocating possessiveness. "Let him listen."

Later, the scumbag fiance goes through the whole win-your-lover-back-and-fail routine. He receives an invitation to his ex's wedding, regrets everything, refuses to accept it, and attends his older brother's wedding instead. The scumbag younger brother: "...?"

[Duan Huaijing thinks he's covered his tracks perfectly. He uses the pinned contact's unquestioning love to engineer chance meetings and deploy every possible scheme to drag the head of the Xie family down from his pedestal. Then he uses the Xie family's power to rein in the pinned contact and make him leave him alone. But he never realizes that this is merely the hunters' method: "they" watch their prey grow up, then walk straight into the carefully woven trap.]
