I'll Wait Where You Saved Your Game

Fu You transmigrated into a classic school harem novel called...

A temporary worker, a nameless NPC, a pretty little mute, and bound to a save-and-reload System.

As far as he knew, he was part of the protagonist's play. The first time he appeared, the protagonist would accidentally smash his head with a shot put.

Faced with a world full of lawless lunatics, Fu You was terrified.

On his third reload, Fu You cautiously followed the plot to the garden and crouched down, looking for a safe spot.

Just then, the protagonist hurled a shot put in his direction.

Fu You struggled with all his might, but the plot held him in place. Just as he was about to reload again, someone suddenly flashed into view, swift as a night hawk.

Over 195 centimeters tall, with a straight, imposing build.

He caught the shot put with ease.

Then he raised a well-defined hand and tossed it backhanded.

The shot put landed precisely half a meter from the feet of the one who had thrown it.

Fu You took a look. Wasn't this the protagonist's stepbrother, the school's ultra-rich heir and eldest son of the Ye family, Ye Chenfeng?

There are still plenty of good people in the world!

Great, he was saved!

After being taken to the infirmary, Fu You nervously pulled out his tablet and typed, then held it up high.

[Thank you, big shot. I'll bow down to you.]

Fu You had assumed the arrogant young master wouldn't respond, but the other man quickly took the tablet and crouched down to meet his eyes.

Ye Chenfeng's face was astonishingly handsome. He smiled, then suddenly leaned close to Fu You and asked in a low voice:

"The first two times, I saw the shot put fly out and then suddenly return to where it started. Was that you?"

Fu You widened his eyes, but Ye Chenfeng gently pinched the baby fat on his cheek.

"Sorry I only managed to save you on the third try."

[You're not scared?] Fu You gazed at him with starry eyes, his pretty little face flushed, sweet and endearing.

"Nope." Ye Chenfeng shrugged, then patted Fu You's head like he was a little kid.

"If you didn't have a superpower, you'd have been hurt. How would I have gotten the chance to save you?"

2.

With Ye Chenfeng, a bug with a conscience, around, Fu You felt much more at ease whenever the plot locked him in place.

For example, Fu You was following the plot and happened to pass by the protagonists in the middle of doing it.

Ye Chenfeng, passing by with a cold look on his face, kicked the second male lead twice as he was getting ready to make a move, then scooped Fu You into his arms and carried him away. He spoke earnestly:

"Next time, remember to reload from farther away. Boys have to protect themselves when they're out and about."

Fu You followed the plot and took part in Truth or Dare. When his name was called, he couldn't speak, so he had to accept the penalty.

Navel-gazing for three minutes, push-ups with someone on his back, and a hundred squats while being carried. Ye Chenfeng held Fu You through the whole thing.

An athlete's body was downright unfair: an eight-pack and a narrow, powerful waist.

And because Fu You smelled so good, Ye Chenfeng couldn't resist sniffing his neck.

"What on earth do you put on yourself to smell this good?"

Fu You's face turned bright red. Unable to answer, he was almost scared into reloading.

3.

Fu You had nearly finished following the plot and no longer needed to go out often.

But Ye Chenfeng kept calling him, waiting for him downstairs, standing guard by his classroom. Wherever Fu You went, he seemed to be there.

"Asleep?"

"Where are you? Can we meet?"

"I'll come pick you up for class tomorrow."

On his nth reload, Fu You tiptoed through a blind spot...

Only for Ye Chenfeng to stride over, grab him with one hand, and pull him tightly against his chest.

The young man's breathing was hot and heavy, and Fu You could almost hear his heart pounding.

"Fu You, no matter how many times you reload, I'll be waiting outside your dorm. How do you think you're going to get away?"

Fu You hurriedly held up his tablet: [Can you help me one more time?]

Ye Chenfeng laughed in exasperation and planted a hard kiss on Fu You's flushed earlobe.

"You want to use me and then reload your way out of here? Give me a wife in return."

Fu You awkwardly raised his tablet: [I understand. Give me three days to think about it.]

4.

Fu You held out until the third day, the date the plot was supposed to end.

He was waiting gloomily for the restrictions to lift so he could return to his original world, when his save-and-reload System flashed a warning in bold capital letters.

[Missing the required condition for reloading out of this world.]

[Host, please hand over the item that first helped you reload successfully as soon as possible!]

The first time? An item?!

Fu You sprinted downstairs, dove into Ye Chenfeng's arms like a baby bird returning to its nest, and sobbed.

"So, are you agreeing to date me?"

Ye Chenfeng swept him up in his arms and carried him into the shadows of the hallway, holding him close as he tenderly kissed the corner of his eye.

The person in his arms finally nodded and lifted a hand to loop it around his neck.

5.

And later...

In the quiet greenhouse late at night,

Fu You wore nothing but Ye Chenfeng's shirt. Red marks covered his full, shapely legs as he curled up in Ye Chenfeng's arms and slept, tears still shining at the corners of his eyes.

Ye Chenfeng held him close, kissing him and patiently soothing him.

"Don't be afraid that if I get mad and leave, you won't be able to reload back to your original world."

"I won't get mad."

"And I won't leave."

"Even if you don't choose me, you can still reload."

"I'll just wait for you downstairs."
