One night after getting off work, Lu Jiu went to a bar and coincidentally me...
Chapter 1 After Breaking Into the Boss's Room 1
In the dim room, clothes were scattered all over the floor.
On the bed, Lu Jiu fell down heavily due to exhaustion, and a voice that was awkward and a little shy rang dully in his mind.
"Host, congratulations on completing your first mission!"
First task?
Lu Jiu raised his eyelids and saw an elegantly curved jaw and a Adam's apple full of masculine hormones right in front of him.
The Adam's apple rolled up and down with the breathing of its owner.
The man was lying on the bed, facing Lu Jiu who was lying on top of him.
When the former lowered his dark gray eyes and looked at Lu Jiu thoughtfully, Lu Jiu sneered in his heart.
The so-called first task is to sleep with a man of unknown origin?
——
“Bang, bang, bang—bang, bang—”
"Lu Jiu, open the door and get out!"
Lu Jiu was awakened from his dream.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and the light pierced into his vision.
With a strong feeling of dizziness still lingering in his head, he found himself leaning against the bathroom sink.
The faucet in the sink was not turned off, and water was rushing down. System 111 was calling him anxiously.
"Host, host, are you okay?"
Lu Jiu rubbed his forehead and stood up with the help of the wall.
He had just vomited, and after that he was so tired that he slid down against the wall and fell asleep.
This is the 36th day since he came into this world.
He was an ordinary office worker. One day, on his way to go clubbing with his friends after get off work, he had a car accident. When he woke up, he found himself in a strange world and a system called 111 appeared in his head.
111 said that it came from the Quick Travel Bureau, and the reason why it was hostage in him and brought him to this world was because some problems occurred within the Quick Travel Bureau—a player stole the code that could open the mission world, divided his soul into several fragments, and escaped to several mission worlds that had not yet been fully developed and put into use.
Unfortunately, these "undeveloped worlds" are all Lu Jiu's previous lives, or parallel universes?
In short, there is a Lu Jiu in each of these worlds, and these indigenous Lu Jius were affected by this escaped player, and their souls all escaped from their bodies, and the garbled codes replaced them and entered his bodies, and the life trajectories of these "hims" began to change.
What Lu Jiu needs to do is to correct his life after getting his body back, and at the same time help the quick-travel team force out the soul code of the escaping player to make it easier for them to capture him.
——What on earth does this have to do with him?
Lu Jiu was speechless.
He was living well in his original world and didn't care about what was happening to him in the parallel world. He didn't know why a department like the Quick Travel Bureau, which sounded so awesome, couldn't just catch a player themselves, but had to drag an innocent passerby to do the hard labor.
What made him even more headache was that he had entered this body 36 days ago, but was disconnected from the body after completing the "first mission".
During the thirty or so days in between, most of the time it was still that garbled code that controlled this body.
The random code turned this "Lu Jiu" into a madman who would go crazy at the slightest disagreement. It was only just now that Lu Jiu completely adjusted to this body and took over control.
Then he vomited violently for no apparent reason and passed out.
111 was relieved to see that he could stand up by himself: "Just stay steady, just stay steady! Do you remember it clearly in your mind?"
"I don't know, it's very confusing." Lu Jiu shook his head, unable to process the flow of information churning in his mind for a moment. After all, the annoying clapping sound was still continuing, and the middle-aged man's yelling made it impossible for him to think about the problem.
He turned around, scooped some water from the faucet, splashed it on his face, then turned off the faucet, raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror.
This face has not changed at all, it is still him, just a few years younger than before.
She has an oval face and her complexion has become particularly pale due to physical discomfort.
The water wet his forehead hair and eyelashes, and his eyelashes were wet and clumped together, pressing down on his deep eyes.
Lu Jiu quickly and roughly extracted the most basic information from the deep memory of this body.
In this world, he is currently a 21-year-old junior in college.
His father, Lu Mingyang, looks and has the same name as his scumbag father who has turned into an urn in his previous world - but he is still alive and well in this world. Not long after Lu Jiu's mother passed away, he married the mistress he had been keeping for many years, and brought back the mistress's younger brother Lu Quning, who is also 21 years old and only a few months younger than Lu Jiu.
This Lu Quning, confirmed by 111, is the escaped player.
During the month when Lu Jiu was still adjusting to the new body, 111 collected and summarized some external information.
This escaped player did not obtain the character identity of this world through "possession". Lu Qu Ning has been the escaped player since birth, but his memory seemed to have awakened only three years ago.
At the moment he awakened, "Lu Jiu's" soul was affected by the shock and was replaced by garbled code.
From that day on, everything became different.
Lu Qu Ning was originally timid and could not hold his head up because of his identity as the son of a mistress. Although Lu Mingyang tried to make up for them mother and son in various ways, it could not dispel the shame in him.
Most people in the second-generation rich circle looked down on him - yes, in this world the Lu family was still a small wealthy family - but three years ago, he suddenly woke up, became calm and confident, and his whole spirit was different from before.
Because he worked hard at studying, his grades suddenly improved. He was originally at the bottom of the grade, but in a short period of time he jumped to the top ten in the grade. He was admitted to a top university in the country in the college entrance examination, and the way people around him looked at him finally changed.
At the same time, Lu Jiu, who was originally outstanding and popular like a star, suddenly turned into a madman.
He became irritable and would fight with others over the slightest disagreement, and would yell and scream like a madman.
Fortunately, he had a solid foundation in study. Even though his brain seemed abnormal, his college entrance examination results were not too bad. He and Lu Quning were eventually admitted to the same university. However, his crazy behavior earned him a bad reputation in the school.
The family and social status of the two people were reversed due to the change in their temperament.
The friends who originally surrounded Lu Jiu began to not understand him and were afraid of him.
They began to get close to the gentle, intelligent and rational Lu Quning and became his friends.
Father Lu Mingyang originally felt guilty towards Lu Jiu, so he let him do what he wanted most of the time.
But because of Lu Jiu's madness, he gradually lost his patience, and the father and son were always quarreling. During the quarrel, Lu Mingyang always yelled at him to "get out of the house."
Just now, they had a quarrel over a man.
Lu Mingyang accidentally learned that a man had been pursuing Lu Jiu recently, and Lu Jiu seemed to have "responded", which made him furious.
"Lu Jiu, did you hear me? Open the door! You shameless thing, do you think you can hide in the room and -"
Outside the door, Lu Mingyang was still roaring, and his banging on the door turned into kicking it in frustration.
His face was purple and red, and veins on his neck were bulging. His second wife Yang Yu and Lu Qu Ning were trying to persuade him to calm down.
Suddenly the door opened, Lu Mingyang kicked over, but missed, and his legs almost split on the spot.
"Dad!" Lu Qu Ning was startled and quickly reached out to support him.
After Lu Mingyang stood firm, the three of them looked up.
The black-haired young man stood behind the door.
His skin was pale, his hair was wet with some water droplets, and his white sweatshirt was also wet.
The young man had a pair of beautiful eyes, with the corners of his eyes slightly raised, like a fox's eyes, and he seemed to be smiling even when he was not smiling.
There are two small moles on his face, one under his left eye and the other on the side of his high nose bridge. These two small moles make this face, which is already too beautiful for a man, even more charming. From childhood to adulthood, there have been many girls chasing after him.
However, in the past three years, due to changes in temperament, this face that was as beautiful as a painting became gloomy, and those fox eyes became deep and cold, making people dare not look into their eyes.
Yang Yu subconsciously avoided his gaze, but the next second, thinking of the current situation, she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips.
"Hey, Jiujiu, come and explain to your dad, and stop arguing with your father."
Lu Mingyang pointed at Lu Jiu's nose and spit out saliva: "If you dare to say that you want to be with a man, you will get out of this house immediately!"
"Dad!" Lu Quning shouted.
"——Then send me the address of the new house and the door code."
The low and hoarse voice with a hint of laziness made the three of them stunned.
The black-haired young man crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against the door frame, his movements looking somewhat casual.
"Address of the new house?" Lu Mingyang shouted as if he had heard something funny. "You still want me to prepare a house for you?! You are dreaming, get out of here and figure it out yourself!"
"The money my mother left for me is all with you, right? She said she would keep it for me, but have you used it all up?" Lu Jiu's tone was still very lazy.
Lu Mingyang was so angry at Lu Jiu's attitude that his eyes popped out, he couldn't say "you" or "I", and his hands began to tremble.
Yang Yu and Lu Qu Ning were a little confused, not because of Lu Jiu's outrageous words, but because of his condition.
If it were usual, the father and son would have started competing to see who has the loudest voice. But at this moment, Lu Mingyang has already gotten into the mood, but Lu Jiu is still... quite calm?
Only 111 knew that his host was feeling extremely nauseous - physiological nausea and vomiting.
In fact, this body began to suffer from gastrointestinal discomfort two days ago.
"What's going on? What did you eat that made you sick?" 111 asked in a confused tone.
Lu Jiu responded in her mind: "Speaking of which, when I read those quick-travel novels before, didn't the systems have many functions? Don't you have a scanning function or something like that, to scan my body, see what's wrong and then cure it?"
111 said embarrassedly: "Well, novels are just novels!"
"So, besides issuing tasks, what other functions do you have?" After 36 days, Lu Jiu finally began to try to familiarize himself with this small system.
“…I will send you warmth when you are lonely! I will send you encouragement when you are in trouble! I will send you blessings when you are happy! I will scatter flowers for you when you are happy!”
“…………”
He is bound to a chat system? !
Lu Jiu couldn't hold it in any longer and was about to vomit on Lu Mingyang and the others.
He took a deep breath to suppress the nausea that was rising up. Seeing that Lu Mingyang's "you" and "I" could not produce any results, he pressed down his fingers that were shaking and asked kindly, "So, is the money still there?"
Lu Mingyang roared as if he was provoked: "How much money do you think your mother left you?! Do I need that money?!"
"Okay, then transfer all the money to me and I'll go out and find a house myself."
"You beast—"
Lu Mingyang raised his hand, and a slap was about to come down when the doorbell rang downstairs. Yang Yu hugged his arm and said anxiously, "It should be Qu Ning's friends. Stop making noise. I'll go open the door."
After saying this, he quickly went downstairs.
Soon, the sounds of footsteps and laughter came into the house, and Yang Yu walked into the living room with a few young men.
They were all boys in their twenties, full of dandy air, and they looked up towards the second floor.
"Hey, Qu Ning, take the luggage down, let's go!"
Lu Quning stroked Lu Mingyang's chest to help him calm down, then gave Lu Jiu a dissuading look and turned around to say, "I'll be there right away!"
He ran to his room to get his luggage.
Lu Jiu looked at him, trying to dig out the vague memories of the past thirty days in his mind.
A month ago, Lu Quning's good friend Ye Lin said that the winery his brother bought was almost finished and the first batch of wine was almost ready to be tasted, so he asked Lu Quning and a group of second-generation rich people in the circle to go to the winery during the National Day.
Lu Jiu was actually also invited - after all, Ye Lin had once been his best friend, and Ye Lin's brother had once treated him as his own brother.
However, the crazy Lu Jiu, who was still controlled by Luanma at that time, just sneered and refused.
At this moment, the room suddenly became quiet.
With outsiders present, Lu Mingyang couldn't get angry.
He continued to stare at Lu Jiu, as if he was going to wait until his youngest son left before settling the score.
Several young men downstairs were talking and laughing in low voices. Some of them glanced at Lu Jiu and lowered their heads. Three years had passed, and Lu Jiu had long since gone from being the center of the circle to a joke.
Only one boy was still hesitating. After a moment, he looked up and said, "Lu Jiu...you, you really aren't going?"
The room suddenly became quieter.
"Hey, Chen Ke, didn't Lu Jiu say he couldn't go?" Another boy smiled, "Why are you trying to please someone who doesn't like you?"
Shen Ke pursed her lips, her face flushed a little: "Lu Jiu was in a bad mood at that time... maybe she is better now! Lu Jiu, Brother Ye said that he would take us to pick grapes later, let's go together!"
He looked at Lu Jiu with starry eyes.
"When has he ever felt better..." There were still some sneers around him.
Lu Jiu was rubbing the corners of his eyes—he didn’t know if it was because he had emptied his stomach, but he was really feeling nauseous right now—when he heard Shen Ke’s words, he put his hands down and his thoughts turned slightly.
Actually, although he didn't feel any sense of obligation towards the task of "catching the escaped player", the existence of the "escaped player" itself made him somewhat interested.
Instead of staring at Lu Mingyang in this house, it would be better to go out and play with Lu Quning.
So, amid the sneers of some young people below, the moment Lu Quning came out of the room pulling the suitcase, he gently placed one arm on the railing of the second-floor corridor.
"OK."
The handsome black-haired young man smiled at Shen Ke.
*
Lu Quning paused.
The next second, he quickly approached Lu Jiu and whispered a warning in his ear: "Brother, that man will also go to the winery. If Dad knew that you met him, Dad would be really angry to death."
Lu Jiu glanced back with a half-smile: "You mean, from now on I will automatically avoid places where 'that person' appears?"
"That's not what I meant..."
"Come to think of it, if you hadn't let the cat out of the bag, Dad wouldn't be so angry, right?"
Lu Quning paused, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
How could Lu Jiu say this so clearly? According to common sense, this person should have yelled at him for being annoying.
Lu Quning suppressed his uneasiness and said with embarrassment: "I didn't mean it, but brother, the most important thing is that you don't stay with 'that person' anymore——"
"When did I become 'together' with him?" Lu Jiu turned away, nonchalantly, "Being pestered by him is considered 'together' with him?"
"Lu Quning, the three words 'together' came out of your mouth."
Lu Quning was shocked.
Lu Jiu waved to Shen Ke who was excited downstairs: “I’ll go pack my clothes.”
"Okay, Jiuge, you can take my car later!"
Lu Jiu turned and went into the room, leaving Lu Quning with a disturbing back view.
*
111 kept chattering in Lu Jiu’s mind.
"Is this runaway player okay? Why did he have to say it so ambiguously? Even if you're gay, your taste isn't that bad to fall for that kind of guy!!"
Just as 111 said.
The "that person" that Lu Quning mentioned is a second-generation rich man in the circle. He is 29 years old, has an average career, and relies entirely on family support.
That’s fine, but I don’t know if it’s due to overindulgence, but I’ve always looked like I have kidney deficiency, and the bags under my eyes can barely cover my eyeballs.
A month ago, a guy in the circle held a party at his home and invited everyone over. The man with kidney deficiency was also there. Somehow, he suddenly became interested in Lu Jiu and tried to flirt with him in various ways. No matter how Lu Jiu yelled and beat people, he always had a playful smile on his face. When other people talked about it, it became known as "Lu Jiu and this guy have some interest in each other."
Just now, Lu Qu Ning accidentally revealed this matter while chatting with his mother, and Lu Mingyang who was passing by heard it, which led to the quarrel.
111 was still groaning indignantly: "I wish I had stuffed you into this body earlier that day. Luanma Lujiu can't handle that kind of scabby dog!"
That’s right, that was the first day Lu Jiu came into this world.
He woke up in this world in the midst of an absurd uproar, and before he had time to process the chaotic situation and the chaotic flow of information in his brain, 111 gave him the first task.
Thinking of this, Lu Jiu couldn't help but feel nauseous again.
111 suddenly stopped talking and asked stealthily, "Are you pregnant?"
“…………” Lu Jiu laughed in surprise.
"Calculating the time, you've been sleeping with 'that guy' for a month, which is right around the time when morning sickness starts," 111 said with a sigh, "If you're really pregnant, you don't even know the father's name, how confusing."
"How dare you say that?" Lu Jiu smiled, "Wasn't it you who gave me the task? Find 'my future boyfriend' in a room on the third floor and have sex with him."
The "man" they are discussing now is not the man with kidney deficiency.
But a man with more mystery.
On that day a month ago, Lu Jiu had a terrible headache, and was so speechless about this task that the computer crashed for a second.
111 said there was no other way, this was a task assigned by the Quick Travel Mission Center, and Lu Jiu would die if he didn't complete it.
Of course, Lu Jiu didn't need to die for her chastity, so she got rid of the people downstairs in a dizzy state, went upstairs and broke into the room.
Then it was a night of tossing and turning.
After all the trouble, without even knowing the man's name, a system bug bounced him back to his home dozens of kilometers away, and his soul was separated from his body.
According to 111, the purpose of this mission was to pull him and his future boyfriend back to the life trajectory that was gradually drifting away from. The pull was a bit too strong, but the effect was good.
However, Lu Jiu saw no effect at all. A month passed and he still didn't know which man he had slept with.
All he remembered was that the other person was pretty good, had a good figure, and a face very much like an acquaintance he had just slept with before he traveled through time, and who left a deep impression in his heart after all these years of separation... In short, he was very handsome and extremely delicious.
Lu Jiu finished his recollection.
"Stop the yellow crap in your head. You said it yourself, novels are just novels."
She's still pregnant, so funny.
Lu Jiu stuffed his spare clothes into the suitcase and left.
*
Lu Mingyang and Yang Yu had different reactions to his decision to go along.
Lu Mingyang questioned him: "Isn't it time to leave after I've finished talking? Who told you to leave?!"
Yang Yu looked like he wanted to stop it but didn't dare to.
Lu Jiu ignored the two men and went downstairs with his suitcase.
Only Shen Ke was left downstairs, the others and Lu Quning had already driven away.
Chen Ke's eyes were full of stars when he saw him. Lu Jiu vaguely remembered that this guy was his high school classmate. He was a very cowardly person at first, but after he got to know Lu Jiu, his personality slowly began to change.
It was a pity that in his second year of high school, Lu Jiu was attacked by Luan Ma, and he turned away from his relatives and no longer had the good temper he used to have towards Chen Ke.
However, unlike others, Shen Ke always seemed to be waiting for the day when he would "recover".
The little guy excitedly opened the trunk for Lu Jiu. After the suitcase was put away, the two got into the car and took their seats. They stepped on the accelerator and left Lu Mingyang and Yang Yu who were chasing them behind.
"Brother Jiu, you should have come out and played with us a long time ago!"
The temperature in the city finally dropped a bit in October. With the car windows down, a perfectly cool breeze blew in.
While driving, Shen Ke secretly glanced at the young man in the passenger seat.
The young man rested his elbows on the car window, with his five fingers bent and lazily resting against his temples.
The sunlight shone through the front window glass onto the young man's face, illuminating his handsome features. His squinted fox eyes were filled with the brilliance of the past, the brilliance that had once fascinated countless people.
Shen Ke's heart began to pound.
“Brother Jiu, is it, is it you…?” He was so excited that he asked a question that he didn’t even understand the meaning of.
The young man raised the corners of his lips and turned his dark eyes to look at him.
In the sunlight, his beauty was so beautiful that it had no gender boundaries, like a picture engraved in the past.
"If it's not me, then who is it?"
