Chapter 24 Domineering School Prince's Wet Love 24 [Rewrite] "I will...
Ever since Jiang Lian confiscated the fatal pervert's diary, Ye Ling has been through the most torturous 48 hours of his life.
I was distracted in class, couldn't enjoy my meals, and even in my dreams, I saw the terrifying scene of Jiang Lian holding the diary and reading it aloud to all the teachers and students in the school.
[Host! Stay calm!] 778 tried to remain calm. [Maybe he just forgot to read it? Or maybe he just threw it away because it was too eye-catching? We should think positively!]
"The good part?" Ye Ling slumped weakly on the desk. "The best part is that he was so disgusted after seeing it that he blocked and deleted me. But what's going on now?"
Jiang Lian’s performance... is too calm!
It was as calm as if nothing had happened. Every morning, she would pick him up from school at the address he'd lied to her, bring him breakfast, hold his hand, and occasionally tap his forehead with her fingers when he was distracted.
Even... that diary, Ye Ling caught a glimpse of it once, it was lying neatly in Jiang Lian's schoolbag, as if it was just an ordinary exercise book.
This calm before the storm was driving Ye Ling crazy. He would rather Jiang Lian just kill him.
"No! We can't just sit there and wait for death!" Ye Ling sat up straight with a fierce fighting spirit in his eyes. "We must take the initiative and attack! Find out the truth!"
He remembered Jiang Lian's casual mention before that if he had any difficulties with his studies, he could go to his house for help, and Jiang Lian would even peel grapes for him to eat...
The last time Jiang Lian took the diary, she also said that she would wait for him to come home and read it together... slowly?
Right now, this seems to be the only chance to get close to the diary and test Jiang Lian's reaction!
As soon as the school bell rang, Ye Ling took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, and called out to Jiang Lian who was about to take him away.
"Um, Jiang Lian..."
"Hmm?" Jiang Lian turned around and looked at him.
"Um...you said before that I could go to your house...to study?" Ye Ling stuttered, "I didn't quite understand the last big question in physics..."
Jiang Lian paused. He turned around, his eyes fixed on Ye Ling's face, which was slightly flushed with nervousness.
Ye Ling couldn't help but swallow a few times, and her scalp felt numb.
Just when he was about to give up, Jiang Lian's mouth corners slowly curled up and his eyes became a little deep.
"Okay." He agreed readily, and naturally put his arm around Ye Ling's shoulders. "My boyfriend is in trouble, so of course I have to help him."
Ye Ling: "..." Why does my back feel a little cold?
Stepping into Jiang Lian's spacious, luxuriously scented apartment once again, Ye Ling's mood was completely different from last time. Last time, he was forced to go to the execution ground, and this time... going deep into the Tiger Cave to spy on the truth? It didn't seem to be much better.
"Sit down." Jiang Lian led him to the large desk in the study, and pulled out a chair next to it and sat down. The two of them were even closer than last time, their shoulders touching.
Ye Ling sat down stiffly, took out his physics workbook, pointed to the problem he could actually do, and began to practice it with gritted teeth: "Here... there seems to be some problems with the force analysis..."
Jiang Lian leaned in closer, his gaze fixed on the question, his breath caressing Ye Ling's ear. He briefly explained a few sentences, his thoughts clear and his tone calm, as if he were genuinely just tutoring her.
Ye Ling, however, was finding it increasingly difficult to concentrate. The presence around him was too strong, and the pervasive scent of clean soap nuts made his heart beat irregularly and he felt uneasy.
What concerned him even more was the black pervert diary! It was placed on the other side of the desk, like a black Pandora's box, emitting deadly temptation and danger.
Jiang Lian seemed completely unaware of his distraction. After finishing his explanation, he leaned back in his chair, his eyes casually scanning the diary.
Ye Ling's heart suddenly rose to her throat.
Jiang Lian stretched out his arm and actually took the notebook! His bony fingers tapped lightly on the cover.
"Come to think of it," he began, his voice devoid of emotion, "your 'Physics Notebook' is quite unique."
Ye Ling's blood instantly rushed to his head and then quickly receded. His face turned pale: "I, I..."
Jiang Lian seemed not to hear his stuttering and just opened the notebook.
Ye Ling closed her eyes and waited for judgment.
There was silence for a long time.
It lasted so long that he couldn't help but quietly open his eyelids a little.
Jiang Lian's gaze fell on the densely packed words, filled with all kinds of explicit fantasies, his eyes deep and unfathomable. His brows drooped, hidden in the shadows, and his slender fingers slowly moved across the page, finally stopping at a certain line.
"I want to lick the water droplets on his collarbone." He read out each word clearly. His voice was low and calm, but it was like a bomb exploding in Ye Ling's mind!
Ye Ling: “!!” Social death! This is the ultimate social death!
Jiang Lian raised his eyes and looked at Ye Ling, who had turned to stone and started to smoke. He raised his eyebrows slightly in suspicion: "So you... like this?"
"No! I didn't!!" Ye Ling had clearly handed over the diary on her own initiative, but now, driven by shame, she denied it reflexively.
Jiang Lian ignored his denial, flipped a few pages back, and then stopped.
"...his sweat after training...should be fragrant too, right?" He continued, his tone even tinged with a hint of serious inquiry. "Hmm...how did you come to this conclusion? Is there any scientific basis for it?"
Ye Ling: "..." Help! Let him die! He was desperately trying all sorts of methods in his mind, [778! Quickly start the emergency escape procedure! Now! Immediately!]
[The mission is not yet complete and cannot be disengaged... Scanning... The host's shame level is detected to be extremely high... No danger to life...]
Ye Ling: “…”
Jiang Lian closed the diary and leaned forward slightly to close the distance between them.
"Ye Ling, we are now... already a couple."
"So, from now on... you can actually do these things to me directly," he suggested seriously, "You don't have to endure it, and you don't have to... write it down in your diary."
Ye Ling: “……………………”
His brain completely froze, and his worldview suffered an unprecedented shock.
Directly? What? Licking the water droplets on his collarbone? Does this guy have some weird fetish? Or does he really think he's a pervert and accepts or even encourages it?!
[Host! He seems... not only not angry, but excited?!] 778 sounded an incredible alarm, [This is illogical! This is OOC! !]
Ye Ling now just wanted to disappear right where he was. He stood up suddenly, and the chair legs made a harsh sound as they rubbed against the ground.
"I, I'm going to the bathroom!"
"What's the hurry?" Jiang Lian didn't care about his poor excuse. He simply pulled him back into the chair.
Ye Ling: “…”
Jiang Lian approached him slowly, her eyes soft and tender under the glow of the warm yellow desk lamp. "Didn't you say you wanted to lick the water droplets on my collarbone?"
Ye Ling's pupils were dizzy with panic. His IQ suddenly skyrocketed. He said calmly, "...It was the way you looked after swimming. It was so charming, I couldn't help myself! And now... I'm not swimming."
"That's true." Jiang Lian looked down at his dry clothes and sighed with regret. The strong sense of offensive pressure also subsided a little. "But you also said that my sweat should be fragrant? Then do you want to..."
Ye Ling interrupted calmly, using the same rhetoric: "You're not sweating now!!"
"But you are sweating." Jiang Lian slowly approached the stiff Ye Ling and stopped a few centimeters away from his tense neck.
"Hmm..." Jiang Lian closed his eyes and took a breath, "...smells good."
“!!!” Ye Ling’s face turned as red as a thermometer.
"I, I really need to go to the bathroom!"
He threw down these words, knocked over the chair, and fled from the study in panic.
Jiang Lian looked at his fleeing back and finally couldn't help but laughed softly.
He picked up the diary and flipped through a few more pages, his eyes filled with the joy of being in control of everything.
"You little fool, are you trying to scare me off this way?"
"Hmm...it actually gave me a lot of inspiration."
Ye Ling rushed into the bathroom and splashed cold water on her face several times before she could barely suppress the heat on her face and the turmoil in her heart.
It was horrible! Jiang Lian's reaction was completely beyond his comprehension.
He paced aimlessly in the corridor, still clutching the pretentious physics workbook in his hand - wait, why did he bring this out?
Never mind, it doesn’t matter.
He is now extremely confused and just wants to take the pervert back and destroy him completely!
As he thought about it, his gaze involuntarily drifted to the depths of the corridor.
That invisible door.
It was still there, just like last time, its color blending into the wall, quiet and mysterious.
Ye Ling's heartbeat inexplicably accelerated. She walked over slowly, her fingers unconsciously brushing across the smooth and cold wall.
[778...] He asked in his heart, [Does the original novel mention what's inside this hidden door in the hero's house?]
"No," 778 replied quickly. "There's absolutely no such detail in the novel. It's probably just a storage room or an electric meter box. Since it's not in the novel, it must be unimportant. Host, don't worry about it. The most urgent thing is to figure out how to destroy the pervert diary and break up!"
After hearing what 778 said, Ye Ling became more concerned.
The more he emphasized its unimportance, the more curious it became. Furthermore, Jiang Lian's reaction was so dramatic the last time he tried to touch this door... So, was there really only junk in there?
He stared at the door, hesitant, a conflict between his conscience and his desires. Reason told him to immediately move away from this unfamiliar danger, but a strong intuition and curiosity drove him, and his hand even lifted slightly involuntarily...
Just as his fingertips were about to touch the door panel again, a low voice sounded from behind him, scaring him so much that he almost jumped up.
"What are you looking at?"
Ye Ling turned back in panic, only to see Jiang Lian had already walked out of the study and was standing in the shadows of the corridor, watching him. The light was dim, and he couldn't see the expression on his face, but the look in his eyes was terrifyingly deep.
Ye Ling's heart suddenly skipped a beat as she suddenly remembered Su Xiaoxiao's previous warning: "The way he looks at you is as if he wants to swallow you whole!" "He seems to have bad intentions towards you!"
A chill instantly crept up my spine.
However, just when Ye Ling's face turned pale and he almost couldn't control the urge to run away, the cold and terrifying look on Jiang Lian's face disappeared in an instant, as if the previous glance was just an illusion caused by light and shadow.
He walked forward, his face changing into the gentle expression of a perfect boyfriend. He took Ye Ling's hand, shook it playfully, and said in a light tone: "Why? Are you curious about my house? Then I'll show you around."
"No, no need..." Ye Ling subconsciously wanted to refuse.
"It's okay. You'll come here often anyway." Jiang Lian didn't hesitate to speak. She held his hand tightly and led him to the other side of the corridor. "Come on, I'll show you the bedroom first."
Bedroom?!
Ye Ling's heart skipped a beat as Jiang Lian half-pushed her forward. As they passed the hidden door, Jiang Lian didn't pause, nor did he look away, as if the door didn't even exist.
Ye Ling couldn't help but look back frequently, absent-minded.
The bedroom was large, decorated in cold, hard grey and black tones, so tidy that it barely contained any trace of life. Jiang Lian briefly introduced it, his gaze never lost on Ye Ling.
Ye Ling forced herself to withdraw her thoughts about the hidden door and decided to test Jiang Lian in a different way, so as to find an opportunity to break up.
He took a deep breath and pretended to speak casually: "Jiang Lian...um, there's something I've always wanted to ask you."
"Hmm?" Jiang Lian sat down on the bed relaxedly, and patted the seat next to him, motioning him to come and sit.
"It's just... I used to... often secretly follow you..." Ye Ling sat down stiffly, clutching his trouser leg awkwardly, carefully observing Jiang Lian's expression as he spoke. "I even secretly took pictures of you... and wrote those diary entries... Don't you... mind at all?"
This is definitely a minefield, right? Any normal person would mind being followed and spied on, right?
Jiang Lian heard this, but just raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked as if it was a matter of course: "Isn't it because you like me?"
Ye Ling: “…”
Like? Whether it's genuine affection or a mission requirement, this perverted way of expressing affection would make any normal person call the police... Why do you still look so pleased?
He was a little helpless. This person was stubborn and looked like someone in the late stage of love-brain and hopeless.
Ye Ling gritted her teeth. No! This required some drastic measures! She came up with the ultimate Plan B—
He carefully considered his words, both to avoid the confidentiality clause of the quick-play game and to frantically build up his armor: "Then... if... I mean if! It's just an analogy! It's absolutely not true! Don't take it seriously!"
Jiang Lian looked at him leisurely and nodded slightly to signal him to continue.
"What if... this world isn't real?" Ye Ling gestured, trying to sound joking. "It's like a game, um... like what they say online... Earth Online. We're all NPCs. And then, if a player comes to capture us, they lie a lot to earn points, like pretending to really like someone, and once they earn enough points, they just... quit the game and disappear..."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Lian nervously, his heart pounding.
Isn't this a clear enough implication? Wake up! This world is fake! I have a mission! My likes are just a scam!
The smile on Jiang Lian's face faded.
The smile on Jiang Lian's face faded at a speed visible to the naked eye and disappeared without a trace.
The lights in the bedroom seemed to dim instantly, and his aura shifted dramatically. No longer the playful and amusing "boyfriend" from earlier, something deep and dangerous emerged from his eyes.
Ye Ling's hair stood on end when he looked at her, and she subconsciously moved back.
Jiang Lian made no unnecessary movements. He wasn't angry, rebuking, questioning, or crossing any line. He simply raised the corners of his lips, his smile never reaching his eyes.
He spoke each word in a low and clear voice, yet it was inexplicably chilling:
"If there really is such a player..."
"I will make every lie he has ever told come true."
He leaned forward slightly, his paranoid and deep gaze locked onto Ye Ling as if it were real.
"As for quitting the game..."
He chuckled, with endless coldness and determination.
"I'll lock him up first."
