Chapter 4: The Cannon Fodder Ex-Boyfriend 4 - He's Been Cuckolded Again...
"And you, Gu Shiyu! Is this funny? You keep talking about the Su family all the time. Anyone who didn't know better would think you're the one with the surname Su between us! How can you be so considerate of our family? If you ask me, you might as well just change your surname to Su and let my dad adopt you as his son. That way, he won't keep pressuring me to get engaged to you!"
Su Jingyi's voice drew Gu Shiyu's attention back.
He glanced down at the Omega in the back seat, who was being held tightly by Qi Ziyan but still glared at him angrily and became even more arrogant after he looked at him. He didn't get angry as the other party expected, nor did he care about the provocation that could be described as an insult.
Gu Shiyu's expression remained completely unchanged.
The Alpha, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, glanced at Su Jingyi expressionlessly before looking away, getting into the car, closing the door, and starting the engine, heading towards the most luxurious hotel in the city center, which was bustling with activity for the Su family patriarch's 70th birthday celebration.
The tense atmosphere inside the car dissipated considerably due to one party's lack of response.
However, after venting his frustrations, Su Jingyi did not experience any satisfying pleasure.
On the contrary, the fire in his heart burned even brighter.
Because of Gu Shiyu's indifferent reaction, Su Jingyi always felt frustrated, as if he had punched cotton.
Moreover, this wasn't the first time he had felt this way.
It can be said that from the day he met Gu Shiyu, every time the Alpha obeyed the adults' orders to discipline and restrain him, he would put on this deadpan attitude.
Silence.
disregard.
No matter how crazy Su Jingyi went, even if he hit and cursed at him, Gu Shiyu just looked at him expressionlessly.
Like a robot devoid of emotion, it only wants to complete the instructions input by the user. As for how to complete the instructions, and what emotions and feelings the target of the instructions will have towards it in the process of completing the instructions, none of that matters to it.
Even if the target of the command is an Omega with whom he will most likely get engaged and married in the future.
nerve!
ill!
He's really sick!
Su Jingyi grew angrier the more he thought about it, and he looked ahead.
It was obvious that Gu Shiyu had dressed up carefully for tonight's birthday banquet. His originally tousled hair had been combed into a slicked-back style, and with the slightly reflective gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, he looked both noble and mature, but also arrogant to the point of being unapproachable.
But Su Jingyi felt that he was being extremely obsequious, because his father and grandfather liked the younger generation to dress in such a mature and composed manner.
It was getting more and more annoying to watch, so much so that even when Qi Ziyan was trying his best to cover his mouth while parking the car, Su Jingyi still struggled to shout something as he got out of the car.
"Gu Shiyu, just give up! No matter how you try to please them, even if I, Su Jingyi, die, I will never get engaged to you!"
After saying that, with a loud "bang," the black Maybach shook slightly, and Gu Shiyu could only see an angry figure rushing into the hotel.
That aura of invincibility, capable of killing gods and Buddhas alike, even from behind, one could sense Omega's utterly terrible mood.
"...You're the same, always making him angry."
Qi Ziyan, who had failed to stop Su Jingyi from going in with them, turned around and glared at Alpha, who was still calmly and confidently sitting in the driver's seat.
"Couldn't you just tell him directly that you went to find him in Yaxi because you were worried that he would be harmed by that Alpha named Li something? The car was going so fast that I thought I was going to die halfway there!"
"I was clearly worried about someone getting hurt, but you insisted on dragging the Su family's reputation into it. Now look what happened, your good intentions have been completely wasted."
"..."
Gu Shiyu tapped the steering wheel without saying a word.
Qi Ziyan didn't expect him to give any decent answer. He sighed, thought of what Gu Shiyu had said before asking him to go to Yaxi together, paused, and finally couldn't help but say:
"But Lao Gu, how did you know that Li something-or-other was going to mark Xiao Jiu back then?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Shiyu did not answer Qi Ziyan's question, but instead asked a question in return.
"Did you know that Su Jingyi sent an Omega abroad yesterday?"
"I know."
Qi Ziyan replied, "Is it the one from the dance academy who exchanged contact information with Xiao Jiu's boyfriend at the freshman orientation event?"
"Do you remember when Xiao Jiu drank almost a whole table of whiskey because of this Omega? She even insisted on marking that Li guy. She was really drunk. How could an Omega mark an Alpha? But why are you suddenly bringing this up—wait a minute! You don't mean that Xiao Jiu's boyfriend is hooking up with that Omega again, do you?!"
Gu Shiyu: "To be precise, she got involved with Su Jingyi, who had that Omega WeChat account."
"??? Wait a minute—oh my god!"
After sorting through this complex information, Qi Ziyan's eyes widened like saucers.
"So you can still go over there and let them mark you?! And then they'll give us a thorough dressing down?! What kind of spell did that scumbag A cast on Xiao Jiu? He's such a scumbag, and Xiao Jiu still won't let go. Has she lost her mind because of this relationship?"
"Do you want them to break up?"
Just as Qi Ziyan was getting into his rant, Gu Shiyu suddenly spoke up.
The sound was sudden and swift; Qi Ziyan didn't even have time to react.
"What did you say?"
“I said,” Gu Shiyu suddenly became very patient at this moment.
"Do you want to separate them?"
"Of course I want to."
Having heard clearly this time, Qi Ziyan replied without hesitation:
"Why not just kick this scumbag Alpha out? Are we going to keep him around for the holidays? And Xiao Jiu, there's no need to put up with this just to go against your uncle..."
But then again...
"If Xiao Jiu can tolerate his cheating, what other way can she separate the two of them?"
"I'll need your help with this."
Gu Shiyu looked up at the rearview mirror. His gaze fell upon an Omega with chestnut-brown curly hair who visibly froze. The Omega stared wide-eyed, his slender, pale fingers pointing to his nose in disbelief and confusion.
"I?"
[Yes! He's the second male lead, the protagonist's best friend since childhood, the one who helps and holds together the trio's relationship!]
The quietness in the laboratory made 888's voice sound excited and loud.
Fortunately, only Li Qingran could hear its voice.
Reaching out to rub his ears, Li Qingran took off the sterile gloves on his hands and threw them into the trash can next to him. As for the series of plans that 888 had just described to him regarding the protagonist's attack, he did not feel the same joy as the other party's program had predicted.
He casually stretched his neck, which was sore from looking down for so long, before saying indifferently:
"How is this different from my previous mission storyline?"
The plot is the same: he cheated on his girlfriend.
[Well, in our normal timeline, the mission failed, didn't it...?]
888 also expressed helplessness about this, but on the bright side,
[This time, the plot is driven by the main character (the seme) and the second male lead. The main character (the uke) definitely can't know in advance, so he won't disrupt the plot. We can also successfully complete our mission and go home!]
Li Qingran said expressionlessly, "You said the same thing last time."
[Um... last time it was mainly because the protagonist (the bottom) had taken the other person away beforehand, so you, the host, didn't actually commit any cheating.]
[Isn't this how love-struck people comfort themselves? As long as the other person doesn't actually cheat, they can just put up with it and it'll still work!]
Is that how the sentence is phrased?
Li Qingran was speechless, but since the task had already been determined, he could only follow the instructions.
After throwing her white coat into the washing machine, Li Qingran changed into casual clothes, put on a hat and mask, and went to work.
Whether it was some kind of bad omen or just Li Qingran's bad luck, he spent the whole day in the lab while the sky outside remained clear and sunny.
As a result, when he left school to go to his part-time job at the bar, he hadn't walked far when a thick dark cloud gathered overhead.
Take two more steps forward, and large raindrops begin to fall with a pattering sound.
Without an umbrella, Li Qingran could only take shelter from the rain at the nearest convenience store.
His reaction was quick, but the rain was so heavy and torrential that by the time Li Qingran entered the convenience store, his knitted hat was already soaked through.
The mask was damp, sticking to my face like a big piece of chewed gum that had been chewed for who knows how long—sticky and stuffy.
Li Qingran simply picked them all.
Actually, after he and Su Jingyi broke up, he no longer needed to dress up as the midnight murderer to cosplay his obedient boyfriend, but Li Qingran still wore it when he went out.
For him now, whether he wears one layer of skin or two, it makes no difference.
The kind shop assistant took the knitted hat to help dry it. While waiting, Li Qingran held a cup of hot oden soup and looked out the window.
The intersection not far away entered a long red light period after a brief yellow light. Vehicles coming from the opposite direction slowed down, one after another, as if in slow motion, like a game where time was infinitely delayed.
Li Qingran felt inexplicably irritated, while the young man sitting in the car waiting at the red light was not much more relaxed.
"Old Gu, are you sure Xiao Jiu won't hate me for doing this? I know I'm doing this for his own good, the question is whether he knows it... Fine, since you put it that way, then I, Qi Ziyan, will risk my life for you today! No, what are you saying? Do you think I'm Xiao Jiu? Facing a scumbag and still—"
Qi Ziyan snorted coldly, his round almond-shaped eyes slightly raised in resentment, before glancing boredly out the window.
I happened to see a convenience store at the intersection, and a boy sitting in front of the only floor-to-ceiling window in the store.
Just then, the other person looked up at him, and the warm orange light from above enveloped him in a soft glow. A raindrop fell onto the glass window in front of him, and then, in the blink of an eye, it meandered down the window.
For a moment, it was impossible to tell whether the drop of water came from the window or from his eye socket...
Qi Ziyan's eyes widened even more, and his hands, which were originally gripping the steering wheel tightly, unconsciously fell to the switch controlling the car windows.
However, the next second, a loud whistle came from behind him and then echoed throughout the entire Jiangjing Avenue.
Qi Ziyan finally came to his senses. His heart was pounding, whether from being frightened by the car behind him or for some other reason. He was so dazed that he felt like everything was blurry, as if a veil had been draped over his vision.
However, he quickly recovered, put his hands back on the steering wheel, and calmly answered the question posed by the person on the other end of the phone after a brief silence.
"Ah, it's nothing, it's just turned green again..."
"What? Huh? No, no... I was talking about traffic lights, of course!"
