Chapter 18 I fell in love with you at first sight. I always do nighttime activities.

Fu Yanli raised his injured hand and smiled, "I'm just that unlucky."

"Is this considered bad luck?" Xu Wenci frowned, too lazy to even glance at it. "Isn't this just reaping what you sowed?"

“Don’t say that,” Fu Yanli smiled. “I’m just trying to fit the persona.”

All right.

Think whatever you want.

Master, can taking someone's personal belongings curse that person?

Upon seeing this message, Xu Wenci paused, his fingers swiping the phone screen, and he frowned.

What exactly is Yi Pei trying to do?

Whom do you want to curse?

【Can. 】

Although it's definitely not possible, let's try to trick the person Yi Pei was going to curse into revealing himself first.

After all, there will always be some lies in this world.

Xu Wenci finally managed to calm himself down.

Unexpectedly, what they received from the other side was Fu Yanli's cufflinks.

?

Xu Wenci's mind was filled with nothing but a constant stream of question marks.

No wonder all the comments were saying that this cufflink was important and would appear later.

Fu Yanli is such a fool, he doesn't even realize that he's being targeted by others.

What do you want to curse him with?

[You'll slip and fall flat on your face when you go out, and you'll never be able to buy flowers when you confess your feelings.]

Xu Wenci was speechless. He thought there was some kind of conspiracy, but it turned out to be such a childish prank.

They've underestimated his reputation as a fortune teller.

Suddenly, the silent comment section burst open:

How come the white moonlight got the seme's cufflinks?! [Shocked][Shocked][Shocked]

What is the white moonlight doing with those cufflinks? [Eye wide][Surprised] I seem to remember that the purpose of these cufflinks was to later confirm the rumors about the seme and the white moonlight? [Scratching head][Scratching head][Scratching head]

I'm not surprised by that, I'm really curious about what the inkstone in the auction is actually for. [Yawn][Yawn][Yawn]

[Maybe it's because cracking walnuts is easier for me [touching chin][touching chin][touching chin]]

[Wasn't that given to the bottom? He should be free to do with it, right? [frowning][nodding]]

Those cufflinks are really weird [covering mouth] Please stop talking about walnuts [speechless]

Actually, this is pretty good [definitely][definitely][definitely] At least the conflict between the dominant and submissive characters that they suppress in their hearts can be resolved sooner [sigh][sigh]

Fu Yanli, who was completely baffled by everything: ...

Wait, he hasn't agreed that his cufflinks serve this purpose yet?

Why would such a vicious and childish scheme exist in this world? Using cufflinks to establish a romantic relationship?!

Xu Wenci yawned.

Fu Yanli has enough to think about; he really needs to go to sleep.

Fu Yanli smiled and said, "Yi Pei, you're really great."

It looks like Xu Wenci is asleep.

He likes to curl up into a ball when he sleeps, like a round dumpling.

Half of his head was tucked under the covers, his short blue hair a mess from being crumpled by the pillow.

That's so cute.

Fu Yanli tiptoed out onto the balcony, staring intently at the half of Xu Wenci's head that was peeking out.

Don't stare at it for too long.

He looked for a few seconds, then turned his head and tiptoed out of the room.

In fact, a long time ago, there were always people watching him, carefully observing this young man who had become the president of the Fu Group.

When he was seven years old, he was forced to begin studying the heir's course and was also forced to endure that kind of gaze.

Perhaps he is not suited to managing the group.

But he had to manage, and he had to learn.

Why.

Perhaps this is what it means for the protagonist to be caught in a situation beyond their control.

trouble.

[The bottom is asleep, why did the top leave? [Scratching head]]

[They probably went to take a cold shower. [Smiling][Laughing][Arrogant laughter]]

[Upstairs, no driving allowed [serious]]

[Injustice! [crying][crying][crying] I didn't! [loud crying]]

Fu Yanli has no time to pay attention to the comments.

He has more important things to do.

The shadow under the streetlights gradually lengthened, and there wasn't a single passerby around.

He changed into a black windbreaker, zipped it up all the way, and wore a pair of white Bluetooth headphones. His usual short hair, which exposed his forehead, was now down, and his tousled hair stood up in the dim streetlights, swaying gently in the wind.

His pale purple eyes seemed to exude an indescribable indifference under the light, unfathomable and as if they could devour everything.

"Boss, I guarantee you'll be satisfied with this new product."

The person in front of me was wearing an apron and bowing respectfully.

Smelling the aroma of the cake, Fu Yanli nodded, then coldly turned his head away, "Deliver two to this address tomorrow."

"Boss, your new product hasn't been launched yet, but all the chefs have tried it. It's definitely going to be the next blockbuster." The man's eyes seemed to sparkle with admiration for Fu Yanli.

Fu Yanli almost got cocky, but still pretended to be indifferent, "Alright, I'll try it tomorrow."

In fact, the manager of Xixianglou was also very curious about Fu Yanli. Every time he came, it was to research new desserts, but he never tasted them, as if his tongue was allergic to desserts.

But every time he researches a dessert, it becomes an absolute hit.

He's an oddball.

As Fu Yanli walked down the street, he looked down and counted his steps. Suddenly, he remembered a question that Xu Wenci had asked him when he was drunk.

Xu Wenci's answer at the time, whether it was the script's world playing tricks or not, didn't make any sense.

At that time, Xu Wenci was completely drunk, muttering something under his breath, which was definitely cursing him.

He turned his head away, not paying much attention.

He was about to pick up Xu Wenci when Xu Wenci leaned against his shoulder, opened his eyes, shook his head, seemingly unaware of anything amiss, then closed his eyes again and snuggled closer to him.

His head hit his chest, and he froze, completely unsure how to react.

Suddenly, Xu Wenci reached out and hugged his waist. Before he even realized he was being leaned on, they embraced. He smelled the unfamiliar scent of bitter orange mixed with a faint fragrance of agarwood.

Fu Yanli smiled. Xu Wenci, this innocent little flower, is more like a CEO than he is.

He looked down at his cuffs, which were wrapped in brown and gold thread, and nodded.

Actually, judging from my outfit, I look more like a CEO.

Hmm, maybe I was just imagining things.

"Xu Wenci, you're so amazing. If you weren't the innocent protagonist, you must be incredibly talented."

He sighed.

Xu Wenci lay on his back, her eyes closed, yet she gently, almost imperceptibly, rubbed her nose against his neck, making it slightly ticklish.

“Fu Yanli,” Xu Wenci opened his eyes, his voice low, “I fell in love with you at first sight.”

Fu Yanli didn't really take it seriously at the time. After all, Xu Wenci was so drunk that he couldn't even see the road clearly and needed him, the president, to carry him back, let alone utter a complete sentence.

What if it's not love at first sight, but murderous intent?

But now, he truly feels helpless in the face of those words.

That statement is, of course, false.

Even if Xu Wenci lied to him, even if Xu Wenci was controlled by the script to say that line, it doesn't matter.

He must break the damned script that's stuck with Xu Wenci, and break the damned general principle that's attached to him.

He stopped and slowly squatted down. The slight noise around him seemed to be stretched and compressed, and it felt like countless bees were buzzing in his head.

The air, which was originally slightly damp, became thick and cold, and each breath felt like a thread pulling at the brain.

He tugged at the zipper of his windbreaker, his throat feeling as if something invisible was choking him, and he could only manage broken breaths.

But that thing isn't a zipper.

Which rule was violated?!

Which rule was violated?!

There are so many rules.

There are so many rules.

Fu Yanli trembled slightly, barely managing to clench his trembling fingers. He took a deep breath and carefully recalled the rules he might have broken.

It was definitely not because I thought of the protagonist, Xu Wenci.

It was definitely not because she wanted to save Xu Wenci from saving herself.

What exactly is the reason?!

He followed every single rule.

When he's alone, he doesn't break any rules.

Why?

Did he fail to complete the tasks assigned in the monthly guidelines?

impossible.

That task was completed long ago.

He had no clue what to do.

But he was in so much pain that he couldn't move.

His biological clock was already out of whack, and he suffered from insomnia almost every night, which was definitely not because he didn't stay up late.

Moreover, with Xu Wenci by his side, he can do anything that Xu Wenci deems normal.

Therefore, there is no reason for them to be punished.

Was it because his plan to rebel was too obvious?

Never mind, let's go back first.

The protagonist (shou) gets up in the middle of the night to get a drink of water, but the other protagonist (gong) is nowhere to be found. [Frowning][Frowning][Frowning] He searched the entire villa but couldn't find him. [Speechless][Speechless][Speechless]

[It turns out the seme went for a walk in the middle of the night because he couldn't sleep [winking][winking][winking]]

[As expected, the CEO's schedule is just different [Wow] If I followed him for a few days, I'd die of overwork [Smile][Smile][Smile]]

[Staying alive on bitter coffee, I can't tell whether his life is more miserable or mine is [shrug][shrug][shrug]]

[Upstairs, you won't earn that much money [smile]. You have to pay for the feed for your cattle and horses yourself [smile]]

Stop cursing! Stop cursing! [crying emoji][crying emoji][crying emoji]

Xu Wenci then realized that Fu Yanli, that night owl and brainless person, had gone for a sneaky walk in the middle of the night.

But he sought out Fu Yanli because he couldn't sleep, was attached to his bed, and wanted to discuss moving Fu Yanli's bed over.

Fu Yanli, on the other hand, was happy.

I never expected that Xu Wenci, who seemed indifferent to everything, would care about people. Sure enough, he is my destined one.

Therefore, Xu Wenci must not be taken away by that scoundrel Yi Pei.

However, since she and Xu Wenci had such a good relationship, Xu Wenci would never abandon her for that stupid Yi Pei.

And, we'll have cake tomorrow.

"Actually, Xu Wenci, I'm really, really happy that you're here."

When I was a kid, I secretly read novels. The protagonist, a protagonist like me who is destined for greatness, will definitely meet his destined person.

And you are my destined one.

With you, I become whole.

That's what the novel says.

Moreover, his plan was about to verify a conjecture that had puzzled him for a long time.

This is all thanks to you.

The destined one.

The champagne spilled on the table, mixed with shards of glass, gleamed with a pearly sheen in the cold light.

"Have you secretly contacted Xu Wenci?" Fu Rongzhen frowned, grabbed the woman, and her anger was so intense it seemed to burn the person in front of her to ashes.

The woman remained expressionless, not even crying out in pain despite her wrist being gripped tightly. She simply replied coldly, "You're surprised he didn't react?"

"You clearly didn't know he had a script, yet you went to him... Who told you he had a script?!"

Guess!

She smiled and turned her head to look at the shattered champagne bottle fragments.

The pale yellow liquid flowed to Fu Rongzhen's feet. He stood up and, with a snap, shattered a large shard of glass.

A note from the author:

Xu Wenci: Fu Yanli even reads pirated novels [rolls eyes]. Most main-character protagonists have an entire harem [smiles].

Fu Yanli: That just means I'm a devoted person; I only read 1v1 novels.
