Chapter 3 The Scumbag Male Lead is Reborn
If I have done something wrong, please let God punish me for having a job with five social insurances and one housing fund, a monthly income of over ten thousand yuan, and a leisurely life.
Instead of letting the scumbag protagonist appear at this moment and disrupt the entire plot.
Qin Yuzhen, the scumbag who was supposed to escort his beloved to the airport after leaving the country, suddenly appeared downstairs at the dormitory and, like a real boyfriend, put his arm around Ziyu.
"Qin Peng, what are you trying to do!"
Qin Yuzhen frowned, his sharp eyes fixed on his cousin in front of him.
My cousin's expression suddenly changed; he never expected Qin Yuzhen to return at this time.
"I...cousin, I didn't mean to do anything. Shouldn't you be at the airport with Xiao Qiao right now...?"
Qin Yuzhen's brow furrowed even deeper.
"Xia Xiaoqiao isn't my boyfriend, why should I go with him?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present fell into an eerie silence.
Qin Peng's face was a mixture of various colors, hard to describe, while Ziyu was completely stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
Everyone except Qinyu Town was inwardly roaring with the same urgency.
What is he saying?!
Ziyu's temples throbbed even more violently.
Has Qin Yuzhen gone mad? Wasn't Xia Xiaoqiao his favorite? He liked her so much that she went abroad for seven or eight years, and as soon as she returned to China, he immediately dumped his boyfriend of almost ten years and wanted to marry her.
What does "now" mean?
What are you pretending for? Isn't it a bit too abrupt to pretend to have fallen for someone else now?!
Does this mean the plot has fallen apart?
Ziyu's eyelids twitched violently.
[Help, will I be fined if the plot falls apart?]
[Your assets will be deducted proportionally based on the degree of plot inconsistency.]
money!
His 200 million RMB!
No! We have to get the plot back on track!
In the eerie silence, Ziyu took a deep breath, broke the silence, and called out, "Yuzhen, you've already seen Xia off, haven't you?"
After saying that, he looked at Qinyu Town with anticipation.
Tell me, as long as he finishes dropping Xia Xiaoqiao off, the plot will be complete. After all, he was indeed made difficult by Qin Peng just now. Now all he needs to do is for Qin Yuzhen to admit that he finished dropping Xia off...
“I didn’t give it to him at all.”
We're doomed!
Ziyu's eyes widened.
"Why should I take him? He's not a child anymore. Has he forgotten how to get to the airport?"
“Then you…you in the morning…” Ziyu stammered.
“Didn’t you talk to those clients a lot yesterday? I went to sign contracts with them today and bought you a new phone while I was there. I remember you said your phone was old and laggy after several years.”
Then everyone noticed that he was also carrying a bag. The logo was from the most famous mobile phone brand, and it was the latest version, which was expensive and hard to buy.
The shock on Qin Peng and his group of cronies almost turned into terror.
Is this still Qinyu Town?
Not only was he cold to Xia Xiaoqiao, whom he had liked for so long, but he also reported his itinerary to Ziyu and even took her casual remark to heart, buying her a new phone!
Ziyu was just as shocked as they were.
In any case, in his previous life, he had indeed shared a bed with Qin Yuzhen for several years.
I wouldn't say I know Qin Yuzhen inside and out, but I've at least figured out what kind of person he is.
In short, it is absolutely impossible for Qin Yuzhen to abandon his white moonlight to find a slut; the story has never written it that way!
"No, brother, are you crazy...?" Qin Peng couldn't hold back and was about to step forward when Qin Yuzhen pushed him away with one hand.
Qin Yuzhen didn't even give Ziyu time to react, grabbing Ziyu's waist and walking towards his dormitory.
As he walked, he continued to warn Qin Peng.
"Don't try anything with Ziyu."
As the two figures disappeared around the corner, Qin Peng was still in a daze.
Was his brother just... asserting sovereignty?
For a poor boy named Ziyu?
——
As soon as they entered the dormitory, before Ziyu could even speak, Qin Yuzhen suddenly turned around and hugged the still bewildered Ziyu tightly, his expression restrained and controlled.
Finally, I saw you again.
What Ziyu didn't know was that Qinyu Town was no longer the Qinyu Town it was a few days ago.
He was reborn.
His memory was stuck on that day of torrential rain, when Ziyu finally accepted his apology and was willing to be with him. He had never understood what love was before; he had taken Ziyu's unconditional devotion for granted. Even with the arranged marriage, he only thought about the benefits it would bring, never imagining how much pain it would cause Ziyu. It wasn't until Ziyu left him that the suffocating feeling of losing the whole world awakened him.
How could he treat Ziyu like this? How could he possibly treat him like this?
Fortunately, his Ziyu still loved him and forgave him.
But no one expected that, in the next moment, a sudden and massive earthquake would strike right in front of them.
Before Qin Yuzhen could even react, the house collapsed with a crash. In the final moment, Ziyu shielded him with his body, his blood almost staining his body red. A steel spike pierced Ziyu's chest, and Ziyu died on his body before he could even speak. Until the last second of his life, Ziyu's thoughts were all about how to protect Qin Yuzhen.
Unfortunately, the earthquake took Ziyu's life first, and also the life of Qinyu Town, which Ziyu tried her best to protect.
He thought his life was destined to be like this, but unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes again, heaven gave him another chance!
He was reborn, and his Ziyu was still living in his youngest and most vibrant years. He did not suffer from stomach problems due to overwork, nor did he develop any chronic illnesses due to his neglect, nor did he suffer the pain of steel thorns piercing his chest.
Everything is just beginning, and there's still time.
He still remembers today, when he left his boyfriend behind to see his childhood friend off at the airport.
At that time, he thought that Ziyu was so tired last night that she probably wouldn't be able to get up to look for him, so he planned to go keep his childhood friend company first and then go to find Ziyu.
But to his surprise, Ziyu was bullied by Qin Peng and his gang, a fact he only learned about after graduating from university.
So today, he refused his childhood friend's request and took care of the matters that Ziyu hadn't finished resolving.
In his past life, he was too proud and too slow-witted, and owed Ziyu too much. This time, with a second chance, he vowed to treat Ziyu well.
The body of the person in my arms was soft and warm, brimming with vitality.
His lover is still alive and by his side.
I won't let you suffer any more injustices.
Qin Yuzhen secretly made a vow in his heart.
The person hugging the other had a resolute expression, as if they had made up their mind about everything.
The person being held in his arms looked haggard and was in a state of confusion.
What on earth is going on? What happened? How did this scumbag suddenly become like this?
What's going on in the plot?
Qin Yuzhen concealed the emotions in his eyes, his gaze falling on the breakfast that Ziyu was carrying.
Breakfast was steamed buns from my favorite little shop in Qinyu Town, but because I went late today and wasted a lot of time outside, they're cold now.
"You brought this for me, right?"
Qin Yuzhen accepted the breakfast.
It was cold to the touch, and the bun skin was a bit hard.
But he still opened the bag and took a bite of the bun.
"Hey!" Ziyu couldn't stop him in time and could only watch helplessly as Qin Yuzhen ate the breakfast he had bought for him, bite by bite.
It's getting cold.
"It's delicious." Qin Yuzhen ate all the breakfast that Ziyu had bought, his tone gentle, and he raised his hand to smooth Ziyu's messy hair.
This morning, because she had just returned home and was experiencing sleep paralysis, Ziyu hurriedly bought breakfast for Qinyu Town based on her memory before even having time to wash up.
Actually, Baozi Ziyu bought two portions. Because he arrived too late, the buns had already gone cold and needed to be heated in a warmer. He found it troublesome and only heated his own portion. He never thought that Qin Yuzhen would eat his breakfast.
The meat buns from these small shops taste good when they're hot, but become incredibly greasy and disgusting when they're cold.
Qin Yuzhen is known for being the pickiest eater; he used to throw things away if they got even slightly cold.
Has he changed his ways? Does he now realize he shouldn't waste food?
"From now on, you don't need to bring me breakfast anymore."
Qinyu Town said.
Ziyu suddenly looked up at him.
Qin Yuzhen knew that Ziyu would definitely be confused, and might even suspect that he no longer loved him. In his previous life, he had learned from others that Ziyu was a highly sensitive person, especially sensitive to his preferences.
In his previous life, however, he was cold and heartless, only enjoying Ziyu's sacrifices without giving any corresponding response.
Qin Yuzhen: "I'll bring it to you."
Ziyu's expression became even more complicated.
"No need to bring breakfast, I don't really like getting up early."
Qin Yuzhen was taken aback, then said sadly, "Okay."
Ziyu really couldn't understand it.
He had no idea what kind of script Qin Yuzhen was adding to his life; he now genuinely wondered if this NPC had been infected with some kind of virus.
How old are they? Delivering breakfast every day, they're not primary or secondary school students. Qin Peng is relatively normal, but he thinks delivering breakfast is crazy.
Is there a problem with the game's mechanics that this scumbag seme is?
After Qin Yuzhen finished speaking, he pulled Ziyu to sit on the sofa and handed her the latest model of mobile phone.
He has a handsome and refined face with a high nose bridge, but his overly refined features also make him seem unapproachable, much like a cold and impersonal character model in a game.
But at this moment, a slight smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Ziyu with tender eyes.
"There are many things I didn't do well in the past," Qin Yuzhen said earnestly. "From now on, I will be good to you."
"Very good, very good."
Ziyu's pupils trembled.
Is this still the same scumbag seme? The same cold-blooded, exploitative scumbag seme?
"Give it a try." Qin Yuzhen placed the phone in Ziyu's hand and looked at Ziyu expectantly.
"..." Ziyu glanced at her phone, then at the scumbag.
Finally, under Qin Yuzhen's expectant gaze, he switched to the new phone. The moment all the data was imported, Qin Yuzhen spoke again.
"Ziyu, I've made up my mind. Let's go home."
"What?"
“My own business should not make you so tired.”
And you'll even develop stomach problems from all the trouble you've gone to help me.
Mayor Qin Yu's thick eyelashes trembled slightly as he recalled the pale face of Zi Yu from his previous life due to stomach pain.
He whispered reassuringly:
“It’s not that your parents can’t accept us, they just want to suppress my spirit. You’ll feel much more relaxed when we go back.”
Ziyu was confused.
What exactly is Qin Yuzhen saying? What's wrong with him today?
Isn't he the most stubborn one? How could he actually say something like "give in"?
The characters are completely out of character, aren't they?
"No, no!" Seeing Qin Yuzhen becoming more and more determined, Ziyu grabbed Qin Yuzhen and couldn't help but give him a commanding tone, "Quiet down!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ziyu realized what she had just said.
He's actually giving orders to Qin Yu Town! How dare this lowly bottom order around the scumbag top!
Ziyu looked at Qin Yuzhen nervously, but to her surprise, Qin Yuzhen was not only not angry, but on the contrary, he was a little happy.
Qin Yuzhen looked at him and nodded obediently.
"Um."
?
Is this still the same cold, domineering, and scumbag CEO from before?
"Uh, you said you wanted to make something of yourself and prove your abilities to them! How can we give up halfway!"
Ziyu said urgently.
Is the second playthrough about to end before it even really gets started?
The submissive protagonist helps the scumbag protagonist build a company, growing it from a small studio into a large enterprise. In the end, the scumbag protagonist kicks him aside and gives away his hard work as a gift to his beloved. This is the most heartbreaking part!
If this heart-wrenching moment were gone, the story would completely fall apart!
Compared to this grand plot, the previous minor plot point is insignificant.
This idea of Qinyu Town must be stopped.
"I care more about you."
Ziyu was taken aback and looked up at Qinyu Town.
Qin Yuzhen's eyes were filled with suppressed heartache and love; his intense gaze seemed to burn into one's heart.
He was handsome to begin with; otherwise, so many players wouldn't have bothered trying to win him over, knowing he was a jerk and difficult to win over. When he gazes at someone with such restrained affection, it's hard not to feel a sense of disorientation, as if you were the only person he truly needed in his life.
Ziyu was no exception. He was burned by that gaze and immediately looked away, forcibly suppressing his strange heartbeat.
This person is insane...
What exactly is going on? Could it be that playing the game a second time will cause some characters' personalities to change drastically?
no.
He would overcome any difficulty for the sake of these 200 million yuan.
"No, I don't care if I suffer or get tired. I just want you to become better. I want to fulfill what you said before."
Ziyu said earnestly, word by word.
Qin Yuzhen was startled, and then his heart began to pound violently.
This is his lover... how much he loves his lover.
Do you really want me to succeed?
“Of course,” Ziyu said. “I want you to succeed more than anyone else.”
Then kick him out, then to the crematorium, and finally, the system gives him money and a salary.
Qin Yuzhen's gaze towards Ziyu became even more moved.
"Okay." He held Ziyu's hand tightly, a surge of tenderness welling up in his heart.
"Then I will definitely live up to your expectations."
He made a solemn promise, swearing in his heart. Since that was the case, he would work even harder to make Ziyu less tired.
Hearing Qin Yuzhen's promise, Ziyu felt relieved. Based on his understanding of Qin Yuzhen, although he was a scoundrel, he was very serious about keeping his promises. With a promise, Qin Yuzhen would definitely not run to his home to apologize.
—Great, the plot has been salvaged.
